Prologue | Part 4: Trembling Will
Translation under the cut.
--
Dolly: W-What the hell…? I told you, stop suddenly appearing out of nowhere…
???: When I heard gunshots and rushed to get here… I certainly did not expect things to turn out like this.

Abel: Flost! Why did you stop him!? You know this power can destroy beasts, right!?
Flost: I realize that it’s an incredible power, but… can you prove that it really is safe?
Dolly: That’s—
Abel: It’s definitely a-okay, alright? Look! I’m still full of life!
Flost: Right now, yes. But what would happen if you’d continue fighting?
Abel: Huh? What do you mean by—
Flost: A power strong enough to defeat beasts… Nobody knows how strong the reaction to that will be.
Flost: Even if nothing is going on right now, the more battles you partake in, the more ailments might strike your body.
Abel: That’s… I mean, that MIGHT be true, but… If that’s the case, then there’s just as big a possibility that nothin’s gonna happen...!
Flost: We can’t indefinitely rule out either possibility… So, we should avoid taking unnecessary risks.
Abel: I get what you’re sayin’, but…

Abel: I get what you’re sayin’, but…
Lapomme: ...You shouldn’t worry about it.
Flost: What…?
Lapomme: There are no side effects to the Berserk transformation.
Lapomme: Because that temporary maddened trance resting within the bodies of Akuta can only be awakened with Setsu’s resonance.
Lapomme: Akuta… Abel can only decuple the original strength he possesses.
Flost: What…?
Lapomme: There are no side effects to the Berserk transformation.
Lapomme: Because that temporary maddened trance resting within the bodies of Akuta can only be awakened with Setsu’s resonance.
Lapomme: Akuta… Abel can only decuple the original strength he possesses.
Abel: See? This guy’s sayin’ the same thing, so it’ll all work out for sure!
Flost: You. Lapomme, was it?
Lapomme: Yes.
Flost: Why is it that you know these things? Is there proof that this information is true?
Lapomme: I’m doing nothing more than reading aloud the information that has been stored within my memory.
Lapomme: As for why I store this kind of information, there is no way for me to know.
Flost: I see. You’re telling us you believe information of which you do not know the origin….
Flost: ...Don’t you think that’s a bit nonsensical?
Lapomme: Yes.

Flost: I see. You’re telling us you believe information of which you do not know the origin….
Flost: ...Don’t you think that’s a bit nonsensical?
Abel: That’s…
Flost: And you… Setsu, how much do you know about this power?
>Not much…
Flost: You used this power without knowing much about it… So that’s how it is, huh.
>I’d first heard about it a little while ago.
Flost: The first time you had heard about it, huh…
Flost: Without knowing about its side effects or its effectiveness, you hand over this ability to the first person you encounter… That’s an incredibly careless thing to do.
Abel: Hey, Flost! Setsu’s not a bad guy, alright!? They saved Dolly and I!
Flost: That’s a whole other story. Imagine if you’d been unconscious, your body might’ve been exposed to danger.
Abel: Hmph...
Flost: Abel, refrain from using that power any more than this. You and Dolly shouldn’t think of such idiotic things.
Abel: ...Why?
Flost: Hm? What, if you have something to say, then do so.
Abel: Why are you such a pain in the ass!? This is the chance we’ve been waitin’ for, innit!? Such a chance—
Flost: It’s impossible to judge whether recklessly rushing into things is a good opportunity, or a dangerous one…
Flost: Having a dream is selfish, but closing your eyes means losing sight of the truth.
Abel: Hmph…
Abel: Hey, Flost! Setsu’s not a bad guy, alright!? They saved Dolly and I!

Abel: Hmph…
Dolly: …Hey, Abel. Flost definitely has a point there…
Abel: W—Dolly?
Dolly: Ah, well—I don’t mean that I don’t have faith in you and Setsu, Abel…!
Dolly: It’s just… until we know more about what this power is, we shouldn’t use it too much…
Abel: But…! ...With this power…!
Abel: Are you guys really okay with this!? Runnin’ and runnin’... the only solution we had until now!?
Abel: We’re okay as is!?
Abel: W—Dolly?
Dolly: Ah, well—I don’t mean that I don’t have faith in you and Setsu, Abel…!
Dolly: It’s just… until we know more about what this power is, we shouldn’t use it too much…
Abel: But…! ...With this power…!
Abel: Are you guys really okay with this!? Runnin’ and runnin’... the only solution we had until now!?
Abel: We’re okay as is!?
Flost: …………
Abel: I’m sick of this… Always runnin’ away from beasts, livin’ a life where I have to hold my breath…
Flost: Oh! ...Even if that means that power will kill you?
Abel: Even so… Even if that were to happen… I don’t wanna live just lyin’ to myself!
Flost: Ah!
Abel: Shit…!
Flost: Oh! ...Even if that means that power will kill you?
Abel: Even so… Even if that were to happen… I don’t wanna live just lyin’ to myself!
Flost: Ah!
Abel: Shit…!
Lapomme: Abel!? Hey, Setsu, follow after him!
Dolly: Abel…
Flost: ...Go.
Dolly: No… I couldn’t understand his feelings either…
Flost: We don’t know what Abel is doing right now. You should keep a close eye on him.
Dolly: Flost, are you… saying that I should look after him?
Flost: ...Don’t say such stupid things. Hurry up and go.
Dolly: Yessir—!
Flost: ...Go.
Dolly: No… I couldn’t understand his feelings either…
Flost: We don’t know what Abel is doing right now. You should keep a close eye on him.
Dolly: Flost, are you… saying that I should look after him?
Flost: ...Don’t say such stupid things. Hurry up and go.
Dolly: Yessir—!
Abel: Pant…... puff……
Abel: Shit…
Abel: Shit…
Lapomme: Seriously… You’re the kind of person to suddenly run off by himself, aren’t you?
Abel: Lapomme… and Setsu, too…
Abel: ...Hehe, sorry about that. You ended up seein’ a pretty uncool side of me there...
Abel: …………
Abel: I’ve… I couldn’t help but to hate, hate, hate that I’d always just been runnin’ non stop until now.
Abel: That’s why… when I destroyed that beast, I thought… “I don’t have to run away anymore”...
Abel: A-And even though I’d thought that with this power, I could even defeat that “Vaha”...
Lapomme: “Vaha”...?
Abel: ...I still didn’t know whether I’m really on the right track or not...
Abel: I know you guys make a good point, and I get why they’re so worried…
Lapomme: What are you planning to do?
Abel: …………
Abel: Lapomme… and Setsu, too…
Abel: ...Hehe, sorry about that. You ended up seein’ a pretty uncool side of me there...
Abel: …………

[BEAST CRY]
Lapomme: Wha!? A beast!
Abel: …A beast.
Lapomme: Hey, Abel! What are you idling for!? If we run—
Abel: ...Run?
Abel: ...Damnit!
Lapomme: What are you doing!?
Abel: At this rate, nothin’ will change… I… I…!
Abel: …A beast.
Lapomme: Hey, Abel! What are you idling for!? If we run—
Abel: ...Run?
Abel: ...Damnit!
Lapomme: What are you doing!?
Abel: At this rate, nothin’ will change… I… I…!
Abel: Huff…… puff…… huff……
Dolly: Hey, Abel!
Abel: Dolly…
Dolly: Jeez, don’t suddenly run off. I was looking for you!
Dolly: ...About just now—
Abel: I’m sorry about what happened earlier!
Dolly: What?
Abel: I-I mean, your face turned kinda pale…
Abel: I get what Flost said… It’d be scary for you to suddenly have a power that you don’t really understand, right?
Dolly: Abel…
Abel: But I don’t want to run away like before.
Abel: It might worry everyone, but… No matter what, this is the one thing I shouldn’t ignore.
Dolly: Hehe, you’re… strong.
Abel: Huh?
Dolly: Well, keeping you from running is about the only thing I might be capable of doing.
Abel: The heck’s that mean...?
Dolly: That’s how it always is, isn’t it? Whether through a wall or over a cliff, you’re always running… That’s Abel.
Dolly: You run without a care in the world. So, when things get dangerous, I’ll be there to stop you.
Abel: ...Dolly! Thank you…!!
Dolly: Stop it, don’t do that… This is kind of embarrassing, you know!
Abel: Embarrassin’… how?
Dolly: ...Pfft, nevermind it, it’s fine.
Abel: I’m sorry about what happened earlier!
Dolly: What?
Abel: I-I mean, your face turned kinda pale…

[STOMACH GROWLING]
Dolly: Ah…
Abel: Haha, Dolly, you’re hungry, aren’tcha?
Dolly: Right, I haven’t eaten anything today. I was running from those beasts until just then…
Abel: Alrighty then! Shall we check out a food spot? ‘Cause with all that movin’ about, I’ve started feelin’ hungry myself, too.
Lapomme: Huh? What are these food spots you speak of?
Abel: It’s a place where you can eat. Let’s go, everyone, I’ll guide the way there.
