[CBM] Hero Tales - Chapter 18 - Rentsuuji Aflame.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
Father! Taito!
--Lien? --What's wrong?!
What the hell are you guys doing here?!
Why?! Why, you mustached bastard?!
Why do you have to set Lian Tong Temple on fire now?!
You'll pay for this!
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
Damn them...!
Are you all right?!
Hey! Hang in there!
Y-Young master... Boss...
S-Sorry... The Xuan Lang Platoon suddenly...
We know. Don't talk anymore.
Taito! Lien!
Laila!
--Are you guys okay?! --We're all right.
The Qing Long members risked their lives to hide us.
Damn you, mustached bastard!
Stop, Taito!
Some people here are still alive.
Let the others fight. You can help treat the wounded.
But...!
What are the duties of the Qing Long Platoon?
Our duty is not to fight, but to help, protect, and love others.
That's right.
The Divine Warriors can easily fend off the Xuan Lang Platoon.
All right!
--Let's help, too! --Yeah!
Just you wait, Xuan Lang Platoon! I'll kick the crap out of you later!
Take this!
Wait, you!
Dammit! Quit scampering away!
Why the hell are you here, anyway?!
Somehow I doubt the great Xuan Lang Platoon is here for monetary gain.
Which would mean...
...they're after Taito...
...the Alkaid.
But it's odd.
Surely they couldn't have thought they could capture
the Alkaid and three of the Divine Warriors with such a small force?
Well, whatever.
Hosei!
Rinmei!
Most of the Xuan Lang Platoon back there has been taken care of.
Looks like things are okay here, too.
I wouldn't say that.
That squad of women was so quick to run away;
before I realized it they were all gone.
Were they trying to throw us into confusion? Or was their goal actually...
--Where's Koyo? --I dunno. I haven't seen him.
Sheesh! I told him he needs to help put out the fires too!
Men are so hopeless!
O-Oh, my...
That's certainly a vicious way to go about killing an old man.
It's our own way of showing proper respect.
After all, people once lauded you
as "the great Sonnei of Lian Tong Temple."
Hearing that makes me feel good.
But you've a lot more training to do if you wish to capture me.
You're quite lively for your age.
Actually, it seems I've grown much feebler than I had thought.
There you go!
Thanks, young master!
Are there any other injured people, Dad?
Most everyone is fine now.
You worked very hard, Taito.
S-Stop! I'm not that kind of person!
No, before, you would've run right into battle without listening to me
after simply hearing someone mention the Xuan Lang Platoon.
You've grown up.
Dad...
You're from the Xuan Lang Platoon!
--M-Master Sonnei! --Grandpa Son?!
Alkaid!
If you wish to save Sonnei, you will come here alone!
I can't believe this!
We've been had! They were after Master Sonnei from the start!
This is insane! He's just an old man!
I can't let them get away with this!
You will stay out of this too, Divine Warriors!
Try anything and we'll kill the old man on the spot!
Damn them...!
You don't need to tell me to go up there! I'd go anyway!
Dad!
Master Sonnei is in your hands.
Yeah!
Taito. Be careful.
Yeah! You can count on me!
Here I go!
--Father... --Laila. Have faith in Taito.
Right!
What?!
Hiding was worth it! How nice of the Alkaid to leave for us!
The Xuan Lang Platoon!
Killing Soei, the head of the Qing Long Platoon,
will really give our careers a boost!
Oh, so you're going to kill me?
Unfortunately... I am a strong fighter.
Y-You can't mock us!
You girls certainly have it tough too.
Being forced to quietly stand up here with your swords at the ready...
Be quiet! Know your place!
When you grow old it's harder to recognize situations you're in...
So, tell me, do you two have boyfriends back at the capital?
--I said be quiet! --Do you want to be killed?!
You're cute even when you shout!
Taito now has the strength to handle situations himself,
including me being used as a hostage.
It looks like you underestimated him a bit, Keiro.
Oh, I'm so bored. Hurry up, Taito.
Hang on, Grandpa Son! I'm coming!
Oh, my. It looks like ol' Choka put a lot into her little plan,
but she's underestimated the Alkaid a bit too much.
Using Sonnei as a hostage won't help her at all.
There's actually a much more interesting pawn down there!
Well?! Who's next?!
D-Damn you...
H-He's too good! So this is the skill of the Qing Long Platoon's leader!
Lien!
S-S-Soei! I'll kill him if I have to!
F-Father...
Apparently the Xuan Lang Platoon has a penchant for taking hostages.
You're pathetic.
S-Stop! I'll do it! I'll kill a kid if I have to! Stop!
I told you I was a strong fighter.
Why did Dad's sword crack that easily?
Good of you to come, Alkaid.
I came alone, like you said! Now let Grandpa Son go!
I don't remember making such an agreement.
We'll let the old man go after we've defeated you.
Do not be hasty, Taito.
If you remain calm, victory will always be within sight.
Th-That energy!
Don't tell me the Wan Xiang Shi Ming is involved in this too?!
If so... If so, then...!
--Taito! --Grandpa Son!
Forget about me! Go back at once!
I have a bad-- no, terrible-- feeling that Soei and the others are in danger!
Hurry! Go back at once!
B-But what about you?!
It doesn't matter what happens to me! Please, Taito! Go, quickly!
Grandpa Son!
What trick is this, old man?!
Choka! The situation is now out of your control!
I would leave if I were you!
Nonsense! I'll at least offer your life to Lord Keiro!
Kill him!
Even if he is an annoying geezer,
it's not nice to treat an old man this way!
So I am annoying?
Yes. Very.
D-Damn you!
Get angry too often and you'll get wrinkles.
Bye, now!
Shall we pursue them, Lady Choka?
We will leave for today.
But someday the Alkaid will be mine...!
I never imagined you would come to my rescue.
I owed you for teaching me, even if it was only for one night.
But why did you send Taito to the temple gate?
I sensed it. The Wan Xiang Shi Ming.
Wan Xiang... Shi Ming?
I was careless. I hadn't anticipated that he would be a part of this.
Dad! Laila!
Oh! Taito! That was fast!
Welcome back, Taito!
D-Dad, Laila... Is everything all right?
The Wan Xiang Shi Ming looks like a person, but isn't a person at all.
It is an evil spirit.
One of the most dangerous and disagreeable kind there is, too!
Shi Ming... Do you mean Keiro's lackey, Shimei?
Yes.
For many generations he has toyed with people's fates
and lived only for his personal pleasure.
I naturally assume he isn't serving Keiro out of loyalty.
He must've found a source of amusement.
An evil spirit that toys with fates...
Okay, Alkaid.
It's time to give you some delightful, delightful entertainment!
I'm perfectly fine. But what happened with Master Sonnei?
W-Well, uhh...
They're still alive?!
No, Dad! These guys...
...are undead!
Undead?!
This is the only way to kill the undead!
Got it!
D-Dad!
Dad! Dad! Stay with me!
Father!
T-Taito...
Dad!
Why do you cry?
This is the world we live in.
You know something like this can happen at any time...
Still...! Even so...!
--S-Soei! --Sir Soei!
Boss!
Taito... What happened to Master Sonnei...?
I rescued Master Sonnei.
Choka's forces appear to have retreated as well.
I see... That's a relief...
I'm so proud.
Everyone is alive and unhurt...
That is the very essence of "Help, protect, and love others..."
A member of the Qing Long Platoon couldn't ask for anything more...
It was...
It was your fault, Taito! You were right by his side!
You were the closest one to him! Why couldn't you save him?!
You're so stupid, Taito! Stupid! Stupid!
You!
Shimei... Wan Xiang Shi Ming...!
Well, Alkaid? How does it feel to have your beloved dad killed?
Oh, that's the look! I've been waiting for that!
You haven't shown me that vicious look in a while,
so I guess killing your dad was the right choice!
I'll get you for this...
The Alkaid pattern!
That's it! Get angry! Lose control! Destroy everything!
You are the Alkaid, after all!
Taito...
Even with all that anger, he didn't lose control.
He wasn't swallowed up by the Alkaid's power...
Damn it...
That brat's in full control of the Alkaid now?!
This isn't fun... This isn't fun at all...
I-I-It's cracked! It's cracked!
Alkaid...!
So you're going to go?
Yeah.
The karma of the stars says so, too.
It says the seven stars will again gather in the capital.
You needn't worry about Soei and the others.
I've shielded them from Shimei's control.
Thanks, Grandpa Son.
The reason Keiro issued an attack on Lian Tong Temple,
Shimei, the Tale of the Big Dipper...
There's so much we need to figure out.
He'll need me to look after him, so I'm going too.
I think that's what Father would want.
If Laila's going, so am I!
They owe me even more now. So I think it's time to repay me in full.
We'll look for Ryuko and the other Divine Warrior.
I'm sure we'll have good news to report.
Okay, let's go.
Take care, Grandpa Son.
Yes. Be careful.
If this new journey of theirs is because of the karma of the stars,
then Soei's passing was also due to karma.
As was the fact that this old man survived...
Just how much control do the stars have over people?
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!
The reunion they dreamed of is colored with callousness.
What's going on, Ryuko?! This doesn't make any sense!
Only a powerful leader can bring about change!
So, you've decided to suck up to Keiro now?
Do you understand what you're saying?!
You won't come back to us?
I am now Ryuko of the Xuan Lang Platoon!
Their divergent feelings lead the stars into confusion.

It is all for the just cause of eternal peace!
