15. Emperor of Seisakoku
FX: *horse neighs*
Adalbert: Hey! How long are we going to keep running?
Conrad: For now we have to leave the land of the equestrian people.
Saralegui: Look! Straight down this sand road is the Seisakoku's royal ancient tomb.
FX: *horse neighs*
Venera: Boys! There seems to be some trouble ahead!
Wolfram: What are those soldiers? They look strange...
Conrad: Yes, they're probably living dead.
Venera: Your Majesty, it might be my imagination, but I feel like there's a concerning thing right in front of us.
Yuuri: What is it? *gasp*
Wolfram: ...Gurrier...
Yuuri: That can't be... No, Josak is alive. If that's the case, then I was hallucinating... my hypothesis was right...!
Conrad: No, it's as I told you before. It's impossible.
Yuuri (monologue): At that time, Josak pushed the luggage he was carrying off the horse, a big lump covered in tattered clothes. What lied down on the sandy soil, had indeed the shape of a person. I could see a pair of legs and arms, and the back of their head. The hair on that head was ... black.
Yuuri: ...Murata...
FX: *horse neighs*
Conrad: Yuuri...
Yuuri: Murata, it can't be. Why?
Conrad: Calm down. His Highness is alive. They won't kill a hostage that easily...
Yuuri: Hostage?
Conrad: That's right.
Saralegui: Ne, Yuuri? Do you remember about that trade we talked about?
Yuuri: Ah?! What are you talking about at a time like this!?
Saralegui: Listen! I told you back then, something about wanting a life, right? Indeed, that's what I want. I've decided.
Yuuri: I'm telling you, now is not the time for....
Saralegui: However, it's not your life I want, but mine. I want to leave this country unharmed.
Yuuri: Uh? Why are you asking that?
Saralegui: Because the circumstances have changed. Apparently, it seems that I have underestimated that child....
Yuuri: That child...?
FX: *wind*
Wolfram: Yuuri, look! Behind Gurrier...
Yuuri: Yelshi...!
Adalbert: *laughs* How interesting! What is the man who kept calling me a traitor doing over there? Hey, let me have Gurrier. I'll put an end to our dispute.
Yuuri: You can't! If you do something like that, who knows what they'll do to Murata... Agh! Ah... the ring is... agh...! It hurts...
Wolfram: What's wrong, Yuuri!?
Conrad: Your Majesty!
Yuuri: I'm fine... I know what the cause is. When that guy Yelshi is close, it hurts like this ...
Wolfram: What's that all about?! Can't you take it off?
Yuuri: I can't, but it's alright. Now is not the time to worry about that...
Saralegui: Yelshi.
Yuuri: Sara?
Saralegui: Speak up! Since you went as far as to do something like this, what is it that you want?
FX: *horse neighs*
Yelshi: An exchange. In exchange for the soukoku man ... I want the king of Shou Shimaron and the Maou of Shin Makoku.
Saralegui: Yuuri and I?
Yelshi: That's right.
Saralegui: In other words you want to own us...
Yelshi: *laughs* That's right. It's way easier than a treaty...
Yuuri: Ugh!
FX:*Yuuri will hear Yelshi's thoughts thanks to the ring*
Yelshi(thinks): How many times were they saved by chance? They sure have good luck, huh? They've escaped time and again, from the people I sent after them. Because of that I had to lend a hand.
Yuuri: What's this? I can hear his voice in my head... Could it be ... the ring?
Yelshi: I'll give you until the sun sets. Decide.
Conrad: The sun is going down, the day is ending.
Wolfram: Why don't those guys come at us right away? They overwhelmingly outnumber us.
Venera: The reason is that those guys like the evening. Because they're corpses, you know?
Yuuri: Uwaghah....
Adalbert: They've been dead all along, huh?
Saralegui: But in Shin Makoku there are walking bones, correct? Then, it's not that much of a difference, right?
Yuuri: They're completely different. You can't even compare them. Our Kohis are a type of race. They have eliminated all the unnecessary parts and have a body that's SIMPLE and STYLISH.... so uhm.. eh?
Wolfram: What is it?
Yuuri: Over there, Murata's waving. Hey, Murata! Murataaaa! Ah thank goodness, he's alive. Thank goodness!
Murata(from far away): Shibu...*coughs* Shibuya, nice place to meet you !
Yuuri: Dumb-head, it's a not a nice place at all! It's the worst! How did you come "here"? Do you have any injuries?!
Murata: It seems like I don't have any... but... crap... my glasses...
Yuuri: Don't worry about your glasses! I have a spare!
Murata: I don't know why you have a spare but thank you. I'd like to borrow them as soon as possible. In any case, tell me! What kind of political disturbance has taken place while I was away? Were you chased out of the throne?
Yuuri: No, I haven't yet. Uhm... uh... maybe. Have I, Wolfram?
Wolfram: Of course you haven't!
Murata: Then, why is "he" with the enemy?
Yuuri: I'm sorry... Not even I know why...
Murata: Then let me tell you, if the situation becomes dire, as for me...
Yuuri: If you tell me to run away, I'm breaking off our friendship!
Murata: That would be a problem, I'd rather die.
Yuuri: Don't talk so lightly about dying!
Murata: I'm not talking lightly... Say, Shibuya. I have something important to tell you.
Yuuri: What is it?
Murata: In the ancient tomb, within a stone room, the box....
FX: *Josak interrupts Murata, threatens him with a sword, then sticks it into the ground*
Yuuri: Cut it out! Cut it out, Josak!
Murata:*coughs* I'm fine.*coughs* I'm sorry, I need to lie down for a bit.
Yuuri:.....! Go to sleep. Leave the rest to me.
FX: *Murata falls to the floor*
Wolfram: Yuuri, you look pale...
Yuuri: I'm fine. Please keep an eye on Murata from here.
Wolfram: I understand.
FX: *footsteps, horse neighs*
Conrad: Yuuri...
Yuuri: Why is something like this happening?
Conrad: Yuuri...
Yuuri: What's going on? I have no idea... Why are living dead there? No, wait. That's just because Yelshi's magic is moving them. Could it be that he's already...?
Conrad: About him....if by any chance he were to put you in any danger
Yuuri: Stop...
Conrad: If that happens, with this hand, I will... (kill him)
Yuuri: Stop it! Don't say something like that now...
FX: *Conrad hugs Yuuri, novel image*
Conrad: I'm sorry... for not saying anything to you
Yuuri: Conrad...?
Conrad: I made you feel like this, right? I... made you worry. I appeared before you wearing the uniform of your enemy and made you experience such a horrible bitterness.
Yuuri: That's right. You disappeared without saying anything, making me worry so much...
Conrad: Yuuri...
Yuuri: I'm not a child, so if you would have explained to me your reasons, I would have understood.
Conrad: I went there to sow a seed.
Yuuri: A seed?
Conrad: That's right.
FX: *horse neighs*
Conrad: Let's go.
Yuuri: Yes, it's not the time to lose our courage. We have to get him back.
Conrad: Yes.
Yuuri: Let's go. Let's agree to the hostage exchange.
