[CBM] Hero Tales - Chapter 14 - Turning Away from the Fierce Fang.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
A man's strength is determined
by the number of lives he takes and the amount of blood he sheds!
Cruel, absolute strength will be how I attain total domination!
Just... Just what do you plan to do with such blood-soaked strength?!
I shall bring new order and eternal peace to the ruined Xian Empire!
What?!
For that, I will gladly wear the title of slaughterer!
Screw you!
Die, Alkaid!
I'll never say good-bye to our prime forever
And I feel like dumb, I don't know why
I'll never say good-bye 'cos I can't forget her
But I feel like dumb, I don't know why
Try to scream
Shattered dreams are made of stone and desperation
Broken hearts blown in a freezing wind during winterlong
Unspoken words floating on freezing wind during winterlong
During winterlong
Where am I?
Laila! Ryuko!
Hosei! Rinmei!
Oh! There you are, Ryuko!
Where are the others?
What's the matter, Ryuko?
H-hey, wait! Wait!
Ryuko! Ryuko!
Ryuko!
Ryuko!
Where am I?
That's right! I was fighting that mustached bastard!
What happened after that?
Damn! I can't remember anything!
A ship?!
Ryuko! Where did this ship come from?!
You're finally awake?
You're...!
What?!
Then Ryuko stayed behind in the cave so we could escape?!
How?! How did it turn out this way?!
How?! Someone answer me!
Tell me, Hosei!
It was the only way...
We all would've been killed if someone hadn't stayed.
So Ryuko decided to...
The hell with that! That's got nothing to do with anything!
Abandoning a friend to escape... No one should ever do that!
Take the ship back to the cave!
Do you hear me?! Do it!
It's too late!
Several days have passed!
Someone who was asleep at the most important time
has no right to argue with me after the fact!
What?!
You live a carefree life.
You pass out in the middle of a fight, sleep non-stop,
and rant and rave the minute you wake up.
--You're like a little kid! --What did you say?!
Is Ryuko the only friend you don't want to lose?
For Ryuko, you, Hosei, Laila and Rinmei were all dear friends.
That's why he chose to sacrifice himself to let his friends live!
They suppressed their frustration and escaped because they understood that!
If you insist on whining about "friends,"
then think about how Ryuko and the others felt.
It hurt them hundreds of times more than you; you slept through it all.
Taito...
The men I sent to the cave will be back soon.
Who knows, maybe we'll find something out.
We've returned.
How did it go?
As expected, there was no one there.
Keiro's army had already left as well.
Did you find any clues at all?
That's...!
Rinmei...
I take it that's Ryuko's?
Even after this, I can't go and avenge him?!
--Well?! --No. The result is clear.
Let me go! Ryuko risked his life to save me!
So I want to risk my own life to repay him!
You're saying I shouldn't?!
If you want to return Ryuko's kindness, stay alive.
You owe your life to him, after all.
Plus, if the Mizar put his life on the line to act as a breakwater,
then I will follow the karma of the stars too.
We can't let the Alkaid and Dubhe collide again that easily.
--Th-that's...! --...the pattern of a Divine Warrior!
Megrez...
No way! You're a Divine Warrior too, Koyo?!
Break's over, men! The Dou Ya will now make for Lian Tong Temple!
We will work around the clock! Hurry!
Right!
You know about Lian Tong Temple?!
Yeah. There's nowhere else to go,
plus it's probably the best way to get back on your feet.
I don't really wanna go there, but I guess I have no choice.
Oh... The tides have changed...
The stars are really coming and going now.
Ol' Taito must be quite confused.
Hey, Taito. Isn't it nice, traveling by boat?
It's great weather, and the wind is nice and calm!
Oh, I'm so glad we met Koyo!
C'mon, Taito. Cheer up.
You'll only get gloomier and gloomier if you stay like this.
Hosei is helping row the ship...
Rinmei is the head chef...
They've both found their place on the ship.
And the Wo Jin Squad members are all a lot nicer than they look!
You should do something too, Taito!
I know! Enki said they need more people to keep watch!
Laila...
Y-yeah?
What was the last thing Ryuko said?
Rinmei! Hosei!
I'll hold off Keiro! Take Taito and escape!
Ryuko, Hosei and Rinmei were all as commendable as Koyo said.
They didn't hesitate to do what they had to do.
I thought I'd come to really understand Ryuko in that short amount of time.
We were on the same page; we didn't even need to talk to communicate.
But it turns out I knew nothing about him!
He was right.
He only wound up in that lonely cave
because he was so involved with me, the Alkaid...
Taito...
But it's true! This wouldn't have happened if I wasn't the Alkaid!
You can't say that for sure!
Ryuko was a Divine Warrior! He couldn't avoid the karma of the stars!
You're wrong!
If he hadn't met me,
he'd have lived a nice life with Ryusho and Rinmei and the others!
I dragged him into this...
I killed him...
Not just him. All the Qing Long Platoon members and Koei too!
If only I hadn't gotten involved with them, they'd all be alive now!
How can you say that? How can you say that, Taito?
You bastard, making Laila cry!
Could your logic be any more self-centered?!
Hosei!
Ryuko wound up like this because of you?!
My master died because of the Alkaid?!
I've had enough of your crap!
You think you're that great, huh?!
Stop, Hosei!
Sorry, Laila!
Cut the crap!
You being here or not
wouldn't change anything for me, my master, Ryuko or anyone!
So just get off your ego trip, you dumbass!
Hosei... Stop...
It's okay... Go ahead and beat me to death...
I don't mind if you kill me; I've caused you a lot of trouble...
Then I won't have to be the Alkaid anymore.
Taito! Pull yourself together, Taito!
Just what is this "karma of the stars" thing?
What will become of the Alkaid?
I don't know.
Whatever happens, in the end it won't change what we must do.
I know. It's just...
It's just what?
As someone trying to achieve the same things, I want him to get back on his feet.
Team #3, it's your shift! Hurry to your posts, please!
Team #1, it's mealtime!
Sheesh! You never grow tired of it! Is cuisine that rare to you?
It sure is! I never imagined I'd get a decent meal aboard the Dou Ya!
Yeah! I look forward to our meals now ever since you came on board!
Seafood dumplings! Fried rice! Grilled shrimp in chili sauce!
Everything you make is incredible!
Hearing that makes it worth the trouble!
Hey, Rinmei! I'd love some meat and vegetable dumplings next!
Yeah! I could go for that! I bet yours are really good!
I agree! Oh, just thinking about it makes me drool!
Yeah! Yeah!
Please, Rinmei!
Sorry. I've decided never to make meat and vegetable dumplings again.
O-oh, we didn't mean to be pushy or anything. Right?
Yeah...
We'll be happy with anything you make!
Yes! We'll be more than happy!
Ryuko...
What are you doing, Taito?!
What on earth are you doing?!
Leave me alone, Rinmei! It's all because of this stupid pattern!
Stop that!
Tell me, Rinmei! How can I get out of being the Alkaid?!
I don't want to be the Alkaid anymore!
As long as I'm the Alkaid, I'll only bring more misfortune to everyone!
I don't want that anymore! Which is why I...!
It isn't your fault. It isn't your fault at all.
Rinmei...
I don't blame you one bit. Neither would Ryuko. So stop this.
You can't sleep?
Your Majesty.
I'm sorry. Did I disturb your sleep?
No, I couldn't fall asleep either.
You too, Your Majesty?
Incidentally, Taki, I take it you've heard?
Y-yes. But...
Even I realize there are many ulterior motives at work.
Even so, it makes no difference.
My feelings will remain the same.
Okay! All done!
How'd it go, ol' Koyo?! How much more beautiful is Laila now?!
She looks exquisite!
--Let him see! --O-okay.
L-Laila!
Oh!
What do you think? Am I good or what?
Actually, it's because she looks good to begin with.
Yes. Plus she's young and has beautiful skin.
Th-that's not true...
It is true! It is true!
Master! I'm so happy, being able to marry such a beautiful girl!
Is it really okay for me to hog all of the world's happiness like this?!
Do I really look that good, Hosei?
You do! You do! You totally do!
In that case... I'll go show Taito!
Taito! Look! Look!
What do you think? I had Koyo do this! He likes makeup!
He says putting it on changes the way you feel on the inside too!
Taito?
Who cares about makeup? What are you so excited about?!
Ryuko's gone, you know! How can you smile?!
That wasn't why I put it on...
Then why did you?!
Did you think Ryuko would've liked seeing you like that or something?!
That's enough!
I do understand your desire to abandon your role as the Alkaid.
But what's got you depressed now isn't the Alkaid or the karma of the stars.
It's your own heart!
What did you say?!
Damn kid. I guess I'll have to open your eyes myself.
You always act so high and mighty! What would you possibly know?!
That didn't hurt one bit!
Too slow.
You cannot beat me in your current frame of mind!
I can't do anything...?
I can't give up being the Alkaid, avenge Ryuko, or anything else?
That's right! You're powerless!
Tomorrow we take a break! Take the ship ashore at first light!
Right!
Damn it! What could you possibly understand?!
The lousy boss of some water bandits is in no position to lecture me!
Five years ago...
...a village was raided by the Xuan Lang Platoon led by Keiro,
who was a growing power at the time.
I don't know what justification he gave, but it was clearly a lie.
E-Enki?
Their homes were burned, their food was stolen, their fields were torn up,
and countless innocent villagers were slaughtered.
The only survivors were two children who had gone to play on a boat.
Our leader and I were those children.
When we returned to the village, we could hardly recognize
our mothers, fathers or other people we knew.
Enyu, my older brother and our leader's best friend, was among them.
Everyone in the Wo Jin Squad has had their families or friends
taken away by Keiro and his Xuan Lang Platoon.
We all have scores to settle with them. Even our leader, of course.
Then why don't you just go and kick Keiro's ass?!
If he understands how I feel, why did he stop me?!
Why do you think he did?
I don't know about the karma of the stars.
But everyone lives bearing their own personal fate.
They have to, don't they?
Just as I can't escape my fate,
neither can you escape from being the Alkaid, Taito.
So it's up to you to figure out what you should do.
When the birds that forgot their song even lost the ability to fly
the sun through the trees shed its light and cried loudly
What will the morning sun be telling us by shining again?
Now, then...
I'll clap my hands, so that it will reach you
I'll clap my hands, it's still not quite enough
I'll clap my hands, with feelings of love welling up
I'll clap my hands, even if time comes to an end
My feelings for you that I never got to say I will now speak out!
Every go every where, arrive aboard this song, feel now!
I'll clap my hands
Every go every where, arrive aboard this song, feel now!
Taito's broken heart took everything from him.
The enemy was coming right at you! What kind of joke was that?!
To reject the stars is to reject yourself!
Tell me! What is the Alkaid?! What is the karma of the stars?!
A brightly shining star greatly affects all the other stars. For better or worse.
Who awaits the lost spirit atop the towering mountain?
On Hero Tales, "Chapter Fifteen: Alkaid's Guidepost."
What is your answer, Taito?!
