===19. Battle Royal===
<br/>


'''Translator's note:''' The name of this track is Shitou(死闘, lit. 死= death; 闘=battle), which can be translated as desperate struggle, fight to the death, or battle royal. Of course, since they are fighting living dead, the name of the track is, in itself, also a pun.

Yelshi: Look...! She is replying...

Yuuri: Who is?

Yelshi: Mother...

Yuuri: The only one talking is you. That person is already... (dead).

Yelshi: No, she speaks.

Yelshi (thinking): Mother, talk to this rude man...

Alazon: K-Key... (Give me) the key.... the key....the-key-the-key-the-key-the-key-the-key-the-key-the-key-the-key-the-key-the-key-the-key-the-key!!!

Yuuri: *screams*

Yelshi: What is it?

Yuuri: Cut it out, Yelshi. This person is already dead.

Yelshi (thinking): She's alive. Mother is alive. She's a little weak now, but with the power of the box, she can quickly return to her usual self.

Yuuri: It's impossible. Besides without the key, you cannot open the box.

Yelshi: Key? But I have the key. You.

Yuuri: Eh? ... !

FX:*Yelshi's eyes turn gold and zombie Josak approaches and grabs Yuuri by the neck. Josak's skin is cold as ice*

Yuuri: Stop it, Josak! ... 

FX: Josak keeps strangling him*

Yuuri: I can't breathe... Josa....You're wrong... you're... not this guy's servant...

Yelshi(thinking): He has to be the key... Among the mazoku, he's a special existance. He's the Maou and a soukoku. The other soukoku wasn't the key, but this time he must be the right one.

Yuuri: (angry)You... you did this to Murata too...?

FX:*Yuuri turns into Ue-sama*

Ue-sama: ... This 'Inferno'...  In this world there cannot be a power that I can't have. Fire, wind, and land, they should just disappear! Death will come to those who follow others! This world is only mine, the only thing that can destroy this world, is my power only! *grabs Yelshi* The one who released the power of the 'Inferno of the Frozen Land' , the soushu of fire, was you bastard?

Yelshi: Who is this? It's not you...

Ue-sama: Mark my words.  If this world ends, if it welcomes its demise, it won't be by fire. It will be by the silence of the "depth"<ref>Depth, as in "Mirror's Depth" the water box.</ref>, the life of living things, that's sleeping soundly.

Yelshi: Who are you?

Ue-sama: Are you listening? Do not EVER obey others.

FX:*blazing fire*

Yelshi (thinks): The fire....!

FX: *Ue-sama turns back into Yuuri. Yuuri is listening to what Ue-sama says and does and is horrified. He says it's like someone's borrowing his body, similar to being a co-pilot in a plane*

Yuuri: Ah... ah.... Eh? Fire? Why? Where did it come from?

Zombie Josak: *screams*

FX:*The more the fire burned, the more the army of zombies got confused*


----------------------------------------


Conrad: Who set that fire....?

Wolfram: There's another fire! It's coming from behind!

Venera: If you look at the way it blazes, it is very strange.  That fire is made of houjutsu!

Murata: Stop it now! Who is it?! Don't use fire!

FX:*weird animal sound*

Venera: I see a donkey...

Wolfram: Jason! Freddy! Uwah... the guy that came with the macho... no I mean, the mermaid too!

Maxine: *coughs* You blond brat over there, where is my father!?

Wolfram: Father, you say... 

Jason: Here, is Yuuri here?

Freddy: Yuuri, have to save!

Murata: Wait a moment, twin-chan girls over there! Fire is bad! You can't use fire! Uhm... there is a dangerous weapon over there and if you attack it with fire it will open and there is a possibility that it will... uhm? explode? ... that it will spontaneously discharge... so please (stop)!

Jason: Box?

Freddy: Box...! But over there, Yuuri's soul!

Jason: The soul, we saw!

Freddy: We rescue!

Jason: We have to rescue!

Venera: How brave, girls.

Jason/Freddy: Venera!

Venera: You did a good job, but from here on, you mustn't be in the way of the soldiers.

Conrad: Your Highness, I can't see them anymore! Wolfram cannot go, but I....!

Murata: Of course you cannot go! You're the only one here who has a confirmed key! Beside the key to "The End of the Wind" will adapt to any box. Of course you can't get close to it!

Conrad: Then, how are we going to clear away Yuuri from the box!?

Murata: It's "Majesty"... right, Lord Weller? Even though Grantz is going that way, he  might honestly just be in the way. Alright then. If you absolutely must, go and pick up Yuuri to clear him away from the box.

Conrad: Understood.

Murata: Ah... by the way, Lord Fiancé, where did the other unit go? (Sizemore and the rest)

Wolfram: To the northeast.

Murata: Then, we should go there too.

Wolfram: And leave Yuuri behind over there?!

Murata: They're going to get him and bring him back. We're going to work as a decoy and have the zombies follow us north. You, the two girls and the mermaid, come here. Is there something else besides fire that you can use? Something that can be used to attack? Like blowing the enemy with a mass of air....

Jason/Freddy: We'll do!

Murata: And also.... yeah that's right.... We need someone to ride in front of us, to work as the decoy.

Venera: May I go ?

Murata: You, as the representative of the servile class, should rush to the destination before us. And Lord von Bielefeld... any time soon Shibuya will expose the truth. When that happens, that's when you'll be needed.

Wolfram: I understand. I'll provoke Yelshi . 

Murata: I'll leave it in your hands. You know what path to take, right?

Wolfram: To the northeast, the northernmost part of the continent.

Murata: That's right. The most important thing is TIMING. The outcome will depend on whether we have good or bad luck.


--------------------------------------------

FX: *fire cracking*

Yelshi: You are... the key. I won't let you escape.

Yuuri: Look, I've told you already! I'm not the key!

Yelshi: Then, who is it?

Yuuri: Well .... I'm not going to tell you...

Yelshi: It can't be ...

Yelshi (thinking): It can't be, it's those two that came before?! I see. That's why the other soukoku didn't want them to come here no matter what... Because they're the key... But which one is the key that opens the box...?

FX:*horse neighs*

Wolfram: Emperor of Seisakoku, I'm over here!

Yelshi: That man!

Yuuri: Wolfram!

Yelshi: Dead ones, follow that man!

FX:*Yelshi's army start chasing after Wolfram*

Yuuri (monologue): Thanks to having some good luck, from then on everything continued nearly exactly as planned. Yelshi's zombies that were lured in, were led to the northernmost slave camp<ref>It's where Jason and Freddy were being held before being taken by the equestrian people.</ref>.
First, Saralegui who had escaped before everyone else, by some miracle, fulfilled the promise he had made.

Saralegui: Brave soldiers! Listen to me! I am Emperor Yelshi, as I was returning from the royal tomb, I was attacked by a frightening army of living dead. Ahh... please save me, please! I'm sure that they have followed me to this place!

Soldier: YELSHI DE YUBI NO MATA!  We'll defeat those strange dead ones and protect his Majesty!

Saralegui: But be careful! The dead can use a strange magic to steal your sanity. Listen... if by any chance, you see me among them, you must not confuse me with the enemy or hit me. Only attack the dead. You must only eliminate the dead.

Soldiers: Hooah!

Yuuri (monologue): In this way, as soon as Yelshi's army which was lured in by Wolfram arrived to the northernmost part of the continent, they were attacked by excellent soldiers. However... the army of living dead was huge. The excellently trained soldiers were no match for them. That's when Hazel, no, I mean Venera, joined the fight with a large number of her slave comrades.

Venera: Even if we have been oppressed for a long time and our voice has not been heard by the ruler, we cannot allow the head of the country to be abused and taken by the dead. What are you going to do about the living dead?! We have to protect Emperor Yelshi!

Venera fighters: Hooah!

Yuuri (monologue): Woah, awesome! That's what you call CHARISMA!

FX: *Soldiers and slaves fight the army of dead*

Zombie: *moan* 

Fighter:  *hits* STAY BACK!*scream* STAY BACK! *hits* AH PLEASE STAY BACK*hits *

Zombie: *moan* 

Fighter: *hits* I'm sorry! *hits* Please forgive me!!*hits* Please go back to where you belong!!*hits*

Yuuri: This kinda feel like the religious wars that has been taking place in recent years... Bad omen<ref>So Yuuri is imitating the cry of the bad omen bird. Btw, this cd was released in 2009. The only recent "religious war" that I can think of is the ones in the Middle East. Even though it's all supposed to be taking place between 2000-2001 we know sometimes they include comments about recent events.</ref>!

Yelshi: Mother! Mother! How are you feeling?

Yuuri: Your mother is mummified, that's why she's not rotting...Or rather, I now have to find a way to get out of here. Alright!

Yelshi: No. The Maou is escaping. Go after him!

Yuuri: Crap!

FX:*Josak goes after Yuuri*

Zombie Josak: Maou...

Yuuri: Josak!

Zombie Josak: Majesty.... Maou... Your Majesty....

Yuuri: Hey! Hey! Josak!

Conrad: Yuuri!

FX:*Conrad attacks Josak*

Yuuri: Cornad!

Conrad: Just as I said before, I'll kill him with this hand!

FX:*Conrad fights with Josak, novel 15 image of them fighting*

Conrad: I will kill you...

Yuuri: Stop... Stop it!

Adalbert: Move away, you two friends!

FX:*Adalbert comes in and starts fighting Josak*

Conrad: Adalbert!

Adalbert: You're not fighting with all your strength, are you!? That's why I told you to let me do it! But you still went ahead and got this close to the box!

FX:*fights Josak*

Adalbert: Phew, that was close!  I can't take someone who came back from Arnold<ref>Battle of Arnold, where all the soldiers of Conrad's unit died except for Conrad and Josak.</ref> lightly, huh?
 
FX:*attacks Josak, Adalbert receives a hit*

Adalbert: Crap....!

Yuuri: Blood!

Josak: *screams*

Conrad: No, it's just a vial that broke...

Yuuri: Josak... his eyes....

Adalbert: Crap!

Conrad: Adalbert, what is that liquid?

Adalbert: I don't know! But it's one of the Red Devil's poisons. I'm sure it's nothing good!

Yuuri: Poison Lady's ?! Josak!

Conrad: Stay back!

FX:*Conrad hits Josak and he loses consciousness*

Yuuri: Josak...No, way... you didn't (kill him)?!

Conrad: He's alright.  I just stopped his movement.

Saralegui:*comes running* Yuuri! There you are! I finally found you!

Yuuri: Sara!

Saralegui: Eh? What happened to him? Did he die again?

Yuuri: You bastard, don't phrase it like that!

Saralegui: Hey, Yelshi! Looking good.

Yelshi: Sara... legui...

Yuuri: Fool! Don't stand so close to one another with the same face or we'll be discovered!

Saralegui: Is that.... mother? Uh..?

Yuuri: Ah.... Sara? Your mother... you see.... 

Saralegui: *laughs* So this is where (she/it) was!? Woah... ignorance is a dreadful thing, huh Yuuri? Could it be that my little brother tested if he could use you to open the box?

Yuuri: Uh... yes.

Saralegui: How dumb are you, Yelshi. Did you think you could use the box that gave you the power to control the dead with an element(Yuuri) like this?<ref>In the novels: Saralegui explains that Yuuri has water majutsu and the box is fire, so obviously he can't open the box.</ref> You were completely wrong....

Yuuri: Sara?

Saralegui: *sighs* Good grief! This child is so slow... So much that it's almost unbelievable we have the same blood! Now I know why you didn't inherit Seisakoku, you silly-san!

Yuuri: Why are you provoking him like that ...?

Saralegui: Shhhh... Be quiet Yuuri. He moves them. Yelshi's entire army of zombies he moves them like pieces of chess. That's why if we can confuse him, the dead should not be able to fight properly.
 
Yuuri: Ah... I see!

Saralegui: That's right, Lord Weller! Aren't bad puns one of your strong points?

Conrad: What? Me...?! Alright then.... let me tell you a short story that's popular in Big Shimaron<ref>In the novels: it was a joke about presidential elections(which Conrad never told, like the story here). But why did Takabayashi make him say that? Probably because in Japan, during 2007-2008, when the novel was published, the houses that choose the Prime Minister chose different representatives, and they had to make a joint committee to pick the new Prime Minister (also, Japan was changing prime ministers often). </ref>

Yuuri: That's something too high-class for you, so it won't work. How about something like: "Fresh smile, NICE GUY"<ref>"Kibunsoukai NICE GUY" Kibunsoukai means refreshing. Yuuri is simply rhyming kibunsoukai, with nice guy. That's because nice guys are refreshing? In any case the pun was so bad even Conrad thought it was bad... which means it was really bad XD</ref>.

Conrad: Eh???

Yuuri: What's with that face?! Uwah... I can't believe I made YOU feel cold! I was just trying to match the sounds.

Saralegui: *clap hands* Alright, I have one! Let's reveal one small fact! Because you see Yelshi... would "wear" our mother's boob until he was three years old!

Yelshi: Sara! Sara you dumb-head!

Yuuri: Woah, he's blushing profusely...

Adalbert: What does he mean by "wear"<ref>So the word "wear" is not really wear, but something else in Seisakoku language. Even so, I think it's pretty obvious by the context that he meant Yelshi continued to breastfeed until he was three years old.</ref>?

Conrad: I don't know...

Yelshi: Dumb-head, you're the worst!

Saralegui: I said it in Seisakoku language, that's because your older brother loves you. Thanks to that, the retainers won't know about it, right?

FX:*an arrow on flames is shot*

Conrad: No... fire!  His Highness said not to use fire<ref>In the novels Yuuri mentions that this is the part of the plan that did not go well.
</ref>...!

FX:*another arrow is shot*

Yuuri: No, it's about to get to the Empress...

Yelshi: *pants* Mother....!

Yuuri: She's burning....

Saralegui: Mother...

Yelshi:  NO!

Saralegui: Yelshi...

Yelshi: NO, NO! *screams*
