Rubel - I never thought that there would be Awakened Beings here…

Sfx: Kick

Rubel - Ah, I guess I should call them Voracious Eaters here, no?

Rubel - But whatever the case, three people toying with it and slaying it easily,

Rubel - Isn’t a small matter, no?

Side Text: Clare’s group chances upon Rubel in the city. What is his motive?

Clare - Why…

Clare - Why is it that even you are here?

Rubel - Pure coincidence, m’dear.

Rubel - With three Claymores here, the presence three of us agents is nothing queer, no?

Crowd - Uwah.

Crowd - Uwah.

Crowd - Uwah.

Rubel - All things said and done, it’ll be best for a change of location.

Rubel - There is too much attention on us here.

Side Text - The complicated future is… An encroaching spider web of darkness.

Uma - Hey, hey… Clare…

Uma - Who the heck is this guy?

Clare - When I was a Claymore,

Clare - He was the one who assigned me missions.

Rubel - Hey, how can you just ghost over our relationship like that? How disappointing, Clare.

Rubel - We knew each other before you became a Claymore, no?

Rubel - Tactics beyond those of battle…

Rubel - I was the one who taught you those, Clare.

Rubel - Aw, don’t give me that kind of look, as though you’re about to fight me.

Rubel - After all the trouble I took to come and clear your doubts.

Page 4

Clare - What?

Rubel - The Organization is mobilizing large forces

Rubel - To the west to look for one of our Claymores.

Rubel - The Organization’s No. 6…

Rubel - A Claymore called Renée

Rubel - Although Renée’s strength is as her position indicates,

Rubel - She has exceptional Yoki-perception abilities.

Rubel - Which is to say, she is the Organization’s Eye at this point in time.

Page 5

Rubel - At the moment when she lost contact with the Organization,

Rubel - The Organization received additional intelligence.

Rubel - The failure of the group of Claymores you just met.

Rubel - They were attacked by the Abyssal One, Riful of the West, but survived after being rescued by someone.

Clare - !

Rubel - Although there was concern about who had rescued them…

Rubel - What was of greater concern was what Riful had said.

Rubel - Riful was looking for Claymores with exceptional Yoki-perception.

Rubel - What could she be intending to do after finding such a person?

Page 6

Rubel - Although we cannot be sure exactly what Riful intends to do, it is probably something that we really do not wish to happen.

Rubel - Which is why the Organization has kept itself hidden from her view, and is looking far and wide for Renée.

Rubel - But, obtaining a person with exceptional Yoki-perception abilities,

Rubel - Is probably for obtaining something. This consideration is probably the most suitable one, no?

Page 7

Clare - What do you personally think

Clare - That Riful is after?

Rubel - !

Rubel - Still so sharp, eh?

Rubel - Although this is not evidenced, I thought of something.

Clare - We’ll hear it.

Rubel - Seven years ago,

Rubel - The person who killed the Abyssal One of the South, Luciela…

Rubel - The then No. 5 of the Organization…

Rubel - Raphaela’s remains.

Page 8

Riful - So?

Riful - Any discoveries?

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Please, please, I beg of you…

Renée - I cannot concentrate…

Renée - Can I be allowed to regenerate my arm and legs?

Page 9

Riful - Ah, those words are so nice…

Riful - Do you really think I will acquiesce to your request?

Renée - This is impossibly difficult!

Renée - I was originally just slightly better at reading external Yoki signals of individuals! I’m not good at delicate inner Yoki-perception!

Renée - To dive into the completely sealed consciousness of the two of them without full concentration…

Renée - At least let me regenerate my limbs so I can concentrate fully!

Renée - Constantly worrying about the regeneration of my limbs and how much time I have left while doing this kind of Yoki-perception is impossible!

Renée - Trust me! I will never lie!

Renée - Remaining conscious right now is taking just about everything I have!

Page 10

Riful - Hm… That makes sense.

Riful - Alright, then I’ll allow it.

Duph - !

Duph - No, Riful-sama!

Duph - She says these things, but in actual fact, all she wants to do is run away!

Riful - It’s fine.

Riful - Even though she has great confidence in her feet, she should know by now that she is no match for me at all.

Riful - But if you really are thinking of escaping,

Riful - Even I will not treat you so nicely in future.

Riful - If you don’t want to be in pieces and want to retain your human form,

Riful - Then you should bear that in mind, no?

Page 11

Sfx: Gu lu.

Riful - That should be it.

Riful - Duph, help me take her chains off.

Sfx: Clink

Sfx: Thump

Renée - Ku…

Page 12

Sfx: Michi

Renée - Uwaaah!

Duph - You listen to me…

Duph - If you dare betray Riful-sama and flee…

Duph - I will be the first one to take your head off.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Riful - What are you doing?

Riful - Hurry and begin!

Page 13

Renée - !

Riful - Only your arm regenerated…

Riful - But for your legs, joining them back would be faster, no?

Riful - They haven’t been chopped off for too long, they’re still fresh.

Riful - Join them back quickly.

Riful - If I see even the slightest indication that you are wasting time, your head will be gone from your shoulders.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Text: In a place deeper than that…

Text: Where the darkness seems to be never-ending, there is…

Text: The merged form of two consciousnesses…

Text: In which the fragments of life are unidentifiable…

Text: Like a mist in the dark, this frail light… If it were touched, would it disappear?

Text: Too frail, too delicate, I have no courage to even approach it…

Text: But…

Renée thinking: What crushed the small consciousness I hid in the deeps into smithereens…

Renée thinking: This unfathomable Yoki power!

Renée thinking: No…

Renée thinking: This is wrong!

Renée thinking: I cannot let this being awaken!

Page 19

Riful - I have said it before, no?

Riful - If you showed slightest indication that you were wasting time, your head would be gone from your shoulders.

Riful - !

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - S-Sorry.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Merging or rebirth…

Renée - I’m not familiar with either, so I don’t really know what to do…

Riful - Are you alright?

Riful - You look terrible.

Riful - All things said and done, you would want to concentrate on rejoining your legs.

Riful - We can’t have you dying of blood loss before regenerating fully, can we?

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Page 20

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée - Ha.

Renée thinking: Between the Abyssal One, Riful of the West and this being, I cannot tell who is stronger.

Renée thinking: But what I am very clear about is that…

Renée thinking: Releasing that thing for even a second would bring about a calamity of catastrophic proportions.

Renée thinking: In the moment when that thing awakes, a body like mine will be torn to shreds and crushed to dust.


Renée thinking: And so will that degenerate man next to Riful.

Renée thinking: The only one left alive will be the Abyssal One… That is the level of power to be speaking of…

Page 21

Renée thinking: Legs are vital…

Renée thinking: No matter what…

Renée thinking: To escape from this place…

Renée thinking: It doesn’t matter what happens to my right hand

Renée thinking: The matter at hand is to restore my body to a level with which I can escape.

Renée thinking: Because to be sucked in between the fight of two monsters…

Renée thinking: Means only death.

Rubel - A certain day, seven years ago,

Rubel - Raphaela left the Organization in the midst of Isley and Luciela’s battle and disappeared.

Rubel - That was to kill her sister, Luciela, with her own hands.

Rubel - In the end, Isley won the battle, but Luciela’s remains and Raphaela herself were never found.

Rubel - At the same time, we received intelligence that Isley and Riful had had contact in the South.

Rubel - This is the basis for what I think.

Page 23

Rubel - Raphaela and Luciela had comparable strengths.

Rubel - If Raphaela’s strength could be awakened, and this strength used as an ally, the scheme of things in this land would change swiftly and radically.

Clare - So…

Clare - What do you want us to do?

Rubel - Nothing much.

Rubel - I’m just here to help address the questions you have in your hearts.

Rubel - There’s no other intention.

Rubel - Didn’t I say earlier? This is all for the friendship we shared in the past.

Rubel - Whatever you want to do after this is none of my business.

Rubel - I just told you what you wanted to know.

Page 24

Rubel - Just like just now, the same was told to Miria..

Rubel - Regarding the war on the mainland…

Rubel - I let her do whatever she deemed necessary from that information…

Cynthia - !

Uma - What!?

Page 25

Rubel - I see… So you know of it as well.

Rubel - I gather that she’s also alive, then?

Rubel - These seven years, those who are still alive apart from the three of you…

Rubel - Judging from the missing swords in the North,

Rubel - Would be Miria, Helen, Deneve, Tabitha, and Undine.

Rubel - But I never thought that Undine would have taken a sword of a companion,

Rubel - So it should be right to suggest that amongst the remaining four who are alive, one of you is carrying Undine’s sword?

Page 26

Clare - You bastard…

Clare - Who was it…

Rubel - Now,

Rubel - You must be aware of the overall situation, no?

Uma - !

Cynthia - He’s not with the Organization.

Cynthia - Which would mean that he’s on the opposing side of the battle on the mainland…

Cynthia - A spy from there, perhaps?

Uma - Eh?

Page 27

Uma - Wa-Wait…

Uma - That means to say that he is against the Organization…

Uma - Then does he not have the same goals as we do? He can be one of us now, right?

Clare - Don’t misunderstand.

Clare - This guy is not telling us these things because he wants to help us.

Clare - To a certain extent, his existence is much more dangerous as compared to that of the Organization.

Clare - To tell the truth, this guy previously…

Clare - Wanted to completely kill us, the four partially Awakened Claymores.

Rubel - Kukuku…

Rubel - So it was that…

Rubel - It seems that Miria only told to you, the one with a more complicated relationship with me,

Rubel - Things about me.

Page 28

Rubel - The existence of partially Awakened beings is a truth that we do not want to admit.

Rubel - Using this as a basis, a controllable awakened being could be created, and this would be terribly inconvenient.

Rubel - The first knowledge of a partially Awakened being was from Ophelia’s report on Miria.

Rubel - It was lucky that I was the only one who heard the news. I said I would report to the Organization, but left it as that.

Rubel - Ai… After that, I told Miria about the war on the mainland. If she were to immediately betray the Organization, that would have been fantastic.

Rubel - But what a clever child…

Rubel - She didn’t go according to what I had expected…

Rubel - I tried all means to get her sent to the North, hoping that this would resolve the matter,

Rubel - But I didn’t expect for four people to remain alive. What a shocker.

Clare - So, what do you intend to do now?


Clare - Report to the Organization and get a group to deal with us?

Page 29

Rubel - Why leave the Organization? You, who are now enemies with the Organization, are easy pickings for us.

Rubel - No matter what, I believe that you all are determined to take the Organization down.

Rubel - I’m just hoping that the partial Awakened state will not be known to them.

Rubel - You would also not want to become human guinea pigs, no?

Uma - So, spy for the enemy…

Uma - You would have at least a few ways with which to take down the Organization, no?

Rubel - That would be meaningless.

Rubel - I would like the Organization to at least be at a suicidal level before I consider stepping in.

Uma - What?

Page 30

Rubel - Research facilities, even if they were destroyed, would just be rebuilt at a more secretive level.

Rubel - This would make it more difficult for our personnel to infiltrate these facilities, the Organization.

Rubel - Since that’s the case, is it not best to lie low and remain hidden while watching the situation develop?

Rubel - Then, if we could hide in the shadows and carry out our objectives, we would be able to crumble the Organization from within. Is that not the best?

Rubel - Nothing compares to if the research facility were exposed and then shut down by the Organization.

Rubel - This would be squashing the progress of the research facility and the Organization once more.

Page 31

Clare - If that’s the case, I do not see why you would inform us of the Organization’s search for Renée.

Clare - If Riful somehow awakened Raphaela, the Organization would be in utter chaos.

Clare - The kind would also be drawn into this mess.

Uma - Eh?

Clare - This bastard knows that we cannot beat Riful.

Clare - What he’s been trying to say is that he hopes the partially Awakened ones die as soon as possible.
