Line part 3

i'll call you back later [Music]

my grandfather through his work in ethnography has traveled worldwide from a young age because of that he

often gave me things lying around the house like stone tablets and strange jars from

across the world this tablet is one of those he gave to me a woman from this island let him hold on

to it and since i'm his grandson he passed it on to me and now i'm here to return it

and this tablet is really strange hey

my name is goto kusanagi

what's wrong do you not speak italian in that case i'll say it again in english

hand over that grimoire immediately grimoire i am a knight of the copper black cross

did you think i wouldn't know uh you mean this sorry are you mugging

me is this a mugging mugging how rude what about you

what's going on i can't be

where's that roar coming from

world what what do you mean it's a god you

need to stop it i did not get out of here erica

fly boots of hermes

[Music] [Applause] [Music]

[Applause]

blendelli [Applause]

it appears it's time for a duel

[Applause] just as i thought it's a divine beast it

seems the gods wish to start a fight here

[Laughter]

where did she go huh

does this belong to you yeah you should get out of here quickly

there's some kind of monster this is funny funny because you're not

italian i am the victor the strongest in that which will defeat

every enemy victor though i don't think it's necessarily bad to have a taste of defeat i tried to

revive the king of the ancient gods in order to fight them but i have yet to

be defeated it's strange it almost feels like i'm talking with my grandfather

wait did you come here to chase after that witch a witch well no i'm here because my

grandfather asked me to deliver that tablet

really how nice it's perfect it seems you're a

good kid and a good warrior this thief has told me so

[Music] are you going warrior yes sorry can i have that back

very well i shall let you hold on to it hold on to it this is supposed to be mine what's going

on what was that

[Music]

a tornado that's the avatar of a god

so by god you mean a real god yes that's right in other words a rogue god that brings

disaster to the world rogue god what's that a god that has broken out of its mythic plane

and has manifested itself here on earth they create different types of disasters

depending on their nature the land where a sun god appears might become a scorching inferno

and if a sea god manifests a great flood if it's a god of war it wouldn't be unusual for conflict to

break out the rogue gods have existed since before recorded history

but only those who possess magic are capable of perceiving them normal humans can only perceive them as

natural disasters i don't understand how can you possess such a powerful grimoire and not even

know that much i've been telling you i'm only here to return this to whom uh let's see the creation

lucretia why would she give a grimoire like that to a japanese person

i'm not sure exactly but my grandfather got it when he was really young

it sounds like he dated lucretia a long time ago hmm your grandfather is quite sociable

then why are you looking at me and where's the train

it sure is taking its time that's why i told you i didn't want to take the train

you didn't say that and why are you coming with me anyway as the night of the copper black cross

my duties will not allow me to leave that grimoire be under normal circumstances i would have just

taken it from you at sword's point you should consider yourself lucky to have run into such a proper person as

myself hold on didn't you threaten me with a knife for it not that long ago

what are you talking about this girl anyway hurry up and carry my

luggage we'll go by car what why do i have to carry your luggage

do you really need a reason to carry a lady's luggage or

sardinia correct [Music] so it's begun interesting

[Music]

[Applause]

i thought i was gonna die ariana's only false as a maid or that she's terrible at making stew

and she can't drive i haven't seen you before

a cat pardon the intrusion but we're here with the delivery from ichiro kusanagi

lucrete ichirou

sorry i shouldn't be lazy just because i can use magic she she's yawn

what's the matter no it's just my grandfather said he met you when

well i might be pretty old compared to a normal human being but i'm nowhere near starting to decline

it won't be much longer before dark you want to give this body a try big boy

oh how lude shut up don't say that innocent young men are typically

overflowing with urges i'm not overflowing with anything

the secret book of prometheus that brings back memories prometheus yes

plan to do with it well i'm not sure it'd be terrible if that people began

gathering because of this if possible i'd like someone to look after it

boy did you run into anyone else on your way here

no not really oh i ran into this kid he had a weird manner of speech huh very

well i'll give it to you me wait just one second you do realize he's a beginner at magic

if you give it to him he'll just yeah i came all the way here just to give it back it would seem the god's wish for it to

be in the hands of that boy that can't be it's inevitable all the

strings of fate are spun together don't you understand of course i don't

understand a grimoire from the era of the gods i can't believe this foolishness

lethargy

don't space out hurry up and pour you think i can't handle this small amount of wine

no it's just how slow are you that you can't even change your expression a tiny

bit you're not a cow i've been telling you for a while now but that's not me

no uh fill it up why aren't you saying anything

[Music] oh don't think had it are you i shall

punish you for bruising my finger apologize

with the ladies that is hey lacriccia

[Music] die right here and now hold on i didn't

do anything at all of course not if you had i would have broken your puny little neck in my

sleep that's pretty harsh unfortunately now you have this unladylike image of me

burned into your retinas and you've even touched my body no matter how little you've done i'll

have to punish you you're going to punish me you gotta believe me this is all a

misunderstanding

what's going on what the heck is that please wait almighty god

how arrogant must you be child man to stop a god's advance

please forgive my disrespect if i'm not mistaken you are melchized the king of the ancestral line

the ancient venetian god so there are still praiseworthy individuals who know

the names of the ancient kings i am mel god the king once known

throughout this island no throughout these entire waters

lightning it [Music]

as always you are adept at changing your form i must hurry

do you stay here okay hold on what are you going to do i'm going to halt the god's battle

carter is one of the strongest of the mediterranean gods if i don't stop them that's a night's

duty to protect the people [Music] [Applause]

no matter what happens i will not save you this is your last chance i know that

that's right the trickster who deceived the gods and the hero who gave humans knowledge

and flame prometheus that power lies within and it can steal

a god's authority so you can use that ability as if it were your own authority a god's ability their power

that tablet contains a god's avatar the power of the white horse lies within

i hear that girl is a prodigy raised by the organization the copper black cross

no matter how much talent you possess it would be

it's just a shadow it's a divine beast the bird of prey it must be here so that it can merge

into a single form again [Music]

it's been a while hasn't it i've been waiting how do you know him

a tempest a bull a white horse a camel a boar an adolescent a bird of prey a

ram a goat and the warrior who holds the golden sword the one who contains all ten avatars the

invincible god of war and one of those ten avatars lies within this tablet

the white horse verethrogna purposely gave you a weapon

it seems the wound i got when last we fought has yet to heal you have revived me out

of your conceited desire to fight to see who is strongest i cannot let

your wound cause me to overlook this fact i look forward

[Applause]

[Applause] now only one avatar remains

please wait that once right now

this land is a battlefield on which we shall determine who is dominant give up human god please have mercy

which i applaud your spirit which tries to oppose the gods however you should know your place

[Applause] [Music]

stone tablet because of this unfamiliar world in which gods and magic still

exist am i wrong that isn't

hey vera melkhart power of the white horse lies within how

about it wanna team up with me if you protect the two of us he won't be able to return to his full

form are you trying to use me a god

well it is the first time i've tried to negotiate a deal with a god but it isn't a bad deal

very interesting it seems my initial prognosis was correct about you

make this fun for me

[Music] you'd call that divine intervention be

grateful human what are you going to do now i haven't thought about it i only

considered what i do up until now we'll see how things go from here i guess how can you stand there and smile

who knows i don't know myself really

as expected from the child i bet on but that still is not enough that i would

lose [Applause]

what the what's going on cursed gold the golden sword

wait i remember that sword it has the ability to cut through divinity cut through divinity that's right the

sword steals divinity from a deity causing that god to fall from godhood i wish to experience defeat ancient king

child of man you shall entertain me more i was given the sacred tablet to hold

and i won't leave without using it but if a human uses that their body will break down

killing them and if i don't use it then i'll die right don't worry

you're a lot like epimetheus epimetheus he was a fool you idiot

that was for good luck now make it a good show

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause] [Music]

i cannot lose to my own avatar

[Music]

[Applause] i see so that's what you are after from the start it can cut through divinity

right so what do i do what should i do

[Applause] he is the champion

for he massacres the gods in heaven and takes for himself the power that confers

godhood he is the king for he brandishes the godly authority

that he has usurped so that all must obey him

### 2

[Applause] [Music]

the black earth that epimetheus and i left behind the sacred birth of an illegitimate

child shrouded in darkness born of a fool and a witch a secret ride

of usurpation only possible through the sacrifice of a god

in short all of the required conditions have been met and you will receive a gift from the heavens

what are you talking about well to put it simply the sacrificing of your life so i killed him who are you

i am the all-giving woman pandora and hugo joe will be born again as a

cappionee the god slayer a king among kings i can't be on it

oh no

it's been a week since i defeated verathrogna and became a godslayer for some reason i became the center of

attention and was forced to test my abilities against other campione but i'm finally back in japan i'm not

really sure what this campione thing is all about but at least i'm finally home

oh hey goto could you get me a cappuccino why are you here hurry up

remember i don't like it unless it's blistering on

put some clothes on already let me see if i got this right when you

two first met each other you didn't get along at all huh yeah then let me guess you didn't know

erica had come you're unhappy with the way things turned out here you go erica enjoy thank you ariana

it sure doesn't look that way it's true believe me shizuka i don't know what's going on but her

attitude toward me completely changed all of a sudden is that so yeah completely that's quite

rude if you go to i just feel like accepting your love now that's all well when the hell did that

start don't you remember we shared a bed together at lucretia's house and then the very next day we shared a hot bacho

bachio in english that would be kiss oh really don't say think she'll misunderstand that was because we were

fighting a god a god no it's just there's no way she believed me even if i told her

but it's true that we shared a kiss is it not no cut it out you're purposely twisting the

facts i told you to put some clothes on i'm wearing some right now

or are you interested in what's under the clothes if that's what you want i don't mind goto

calm down this is a trap hurt yourself of emotion yes purge everything but maybe just a

little peek first we need to talk up to the roof right now

jessica we don't have her man

yo what's the matter with you man a she devil dropped by this morning and my sister's all over my ass about it

it's just annoying oh a girl huh oh yeah did you hear that we're getting a new transfer student

i don't really care sounds like she'll be here today they say she's italian very pretty and of noble heritage huh

you didn't even react i'm seeing it again

i was able to give you the key to unlock the golden sword through that kiss because of that you were able to wield

the golden sword goto striking varathragana with a finishing blow

splendid splendid my good warrior verethrogna you are now a godslayer who

has taken the authority of the god of victory remain stronger than any other

remain undefeated until the day we fight [Applause]

again i never wanted to steal a god's power

[Music] hold on you said she transferred from italy that's a slow reaction

all right attention please i will now introduce our transfer student to you hi everyone bonjourno

i'm erica blandelli there is something i must explain to all of you you see i have already promised my

future to someone and that person would be mr goro kusanagi

but i i just now we can be together all the time goto

i couldn't possibly think of sitting anywhere other than beside goto kusanagi

i know it's silly and they're being a little selfish but we love each other and i hope that you will understand

okay what what what are you doing i think

it's fairly obvious i'm going to be staying in japan for a while oh yeah i rented an apartment

we can break it in later wait hold on how could you go though pretending to be

unpopular with the ladies found yourself a girl first looks like you tricked him what italian chick that

would even happen in an anime

erica no don't say anything else it's better to tell everyone exactly what happened

when i have already spent a night [Music]

that's why i told you who are you my name is

[Laughter] it's extremely interesting that a

seventh campione has been born do you have more information about the divine instrument

yes we believe it to be in rome but its exact location

[Music] i think it important to tell you i do not like to be disappointed lilliana

grandchild i apologize this is the dead servant one of duke

vauban's authorities there is not much time before the prophecy of the starless night

i'm really sorry about that i didn't mean to startle you earlier

no i'm the one who made the mistake after all also all of the stuff that erica girl

said back there wasn't true so please don't believe me uh what are you talking about

i am fully aware that the anger of a violent demon king such as yourself will not be taped simply by killing me

but i beg you to please punish me alone and no one else uh i don't know please i ask you

once more i this is so weird it seems as if you're troubling the king yuri

huh who are you my name's amakusu and i'm with the committee for the

compilation of true history the seventh campaone it's nice to meet you what a pleasure i

guess you could call us the governmental body that handles individuals related to magic with in japan

when an incident occurs that involves a god or magic we are the organization that investigates and deals with the matter

princess shrine maidens like yuri assist us so this morning at school i didn't

accidentally grab her it was maria who that's correct we're terribly sorry for that as you are a king we desperately

wanted to establish contact with you but please don't be angry with yuri because i'm the one who requested that

she pull off that little trick sorry for the weight i apologize for

what happened earlier no no it's okay no harm done i don't even really consider myself a king so

don't worry about it it would if you're acquainted with yuri but i i just get a little uncomfortable when

people speak to me so formally couldn't you just talk to me like a normal friend mario i couldn't

then how about at least using my name well i suppose if you insist kusanagi

see that's not so hard so what did you want to talk to me about exactly oh i wanted to inform you about

erica blondelli and her involvement with the agency of the copper black cross

i'm back hey you're late oh it smells good today i pop hey just to let you know

mari is the famous cool beauty who's part of the ceremonial tea club she's the center of admiration for all

the girls in school she isn't someone you'll ever make any headway what are you talking about everyone at school is talking about it

they're saying you attacked her oh what a bunch of crap nothing like that happened oh really

even if you're telling the truth the whole school is talking about how flirty you are with erica

i'm tired of talking about that

the red devil that's right in italian the of her alluring eyes were said to

steal a man's heart in an instant her unparalleled figure was said to ignite a man's hidden desires and her

wonderfully clear voice is said to be unforgettable from the second you hear it

and yet she's never let a man lay a single finger on her let alone give her a kiss so what does

she want with me then i yes i've been wondering the same thing what exactly happened to make her so

crazy about you the only thing that comes to mind is because you're a

campione what does that mean don't you get it the copper black cross

is attempting to use her to bring him into their organization they're trying to seduce him to put it

simply i guess that's what's going on but you

know she didn't really seem like someone who would do that kind of thing though do what

why are you here exactly because we love each other and that means we need to spend some

time together i can't believe you disappeared after school then go home actually you're breaking and

entering no i'm not i got permission from your sister to come in although i did tell her that i was here

to give you your notebook you know if you're after something you should just come out and tell me

after something i don't know who ordered you to do what or why i really like that much got it

i see so that's what you think i suppose i can understand then let's spend one last day together

and i'll show you exactly how i feel that is if you can handle it

when somebody says they want to spend a day with you you usually just chat at a nearby cafe or something like that

that's right or maybe you just go see a movie or go to the beach together

why did i have to come back to italy but not even a day has passed goto and

besides it's still three in the afternoon are you kidding me it's already tomorrow in japan

where's erica it seems erica's meeting is taking longer than expected

she'd like you to wait here anyway i have some work to do uh i have to wait here alone

[Music]

i was trying not to return for a while [Music]

are you the gods

an outlander the same as myself [Music]

however if that is what you wish i shall accept that challenge with all that i have sorry but i'm not

here for a fight i don't know about any of the other campione though

lethargy understood then i shall take my leave

someone who would not enjoy fighting me could never become a god

what's wrong oh it's just you so you're the seventh campione kusanagi

godo correct it is our great pleasure to meet you so who are these people people from the

magician society who represent italy they insisted on meeting you [Music]

they wanted to see how strong you are

lion of steel and he who begets you the lion heart

he the oat made by knight erica blendelli [Applause] that which is the essence of battle

revealed

[Music]

that's a real sword

now that's my go-to what are you trying to pull i told you i want to see how strong you

are who the hell uses a real sword to test someone's strength i'm afraid i have no choice you see your

powers lay dormant nothing but a real fight will draw them out [Music] and trust the battlefield for you

lion of steel rip him apart pour through him crush him in your jaws [Applause]

should i run no i wouldn't make it in [Applause] [Music]

time [Applause]

[Music] that is the super strength of verithragna's second avatar

[Applause] and the golden sword cannot be activated

against an enemy before enough is known about them you can't win just by running away like that know that

shut up goto rogue gods aren't so nice that

they'll let you get away with what i've allowed here [Applause] hello eloisa lord for it is afternoon

and i call out to you yet you do not answer for at night there is only silence [Applause]

that which becomes my strength shall save me once more save my soul from the sword

you fell for it why do you think i purposely got hit by the lion of light

purposely because i wanted to make you stand right there

i won't be able to hold back figure out how to get out of the way

[Applause]

just to let you know you can only use each avatar once a day think about that

is that good enough do you concede it

wasn't very elegant but you passed nonetheless you did well and that's why you're my

godo cocky aren't we what do you think well we have john pluto smith the holy

the black prince madame aisha also lord salvatore donnie and duke

vauban and now kusanagi godel i can understand erica's desire to bet on him the newest

of kings i as well then it is decided princess alice's prophecy of the

starless night is nearly upon us we shall entrust the divine instrument to him it would seem that they've

accepted you what are they talking about i have an idea since you've already got me on the ground how about we have a little

celebration already got me don't be silly if you're going to go so far as to get

on top of a lady you might as well take responsibility for your actions don't say things people will

misunderstand i've already told you before i don't feel that way about you you're not going on about that again oh

you tell me what you're really after erica that was the promise right yes you're right i suppose i should tell

you as a knight i've made all my decisions thus far based on my own convictions

i've never acted out of deceit or because someone ordered me to you should know that i'm a very proud

woman do you really think i would suck up to you simply because i can use you then i don't understand it's because i'm

truly in love with you goto not because you're a campione or because someone ordered me to do so

but

those alluring eyes of hers could steal a man's heart in an instant her unparalleled figure could ignite a

man's hidden desires and her wonderfully clear voice is unforgettable

look at this is that
