Tales of the Abyss Gaiden 5

I'm tired of the shounen-seinen stuff, don't believe any of the Tales series is seinen story-wised, despite of having half of the series in "No furigana" thing and got too used to putting [shounen] in front of the title, so I'll just continue with the "Shounen" trend then . . . >_<"

Jade . . . is awesome. Can't say anything more than that . . . :')

ENJOY~! XD

Tales of the Abyss
Gaiden 5 “EPISODE 00”
Pg. 1
Ion – I’m Ion
Fon Master Ion

Pg. 2
I act as myself
And carry on my predetermined day

Those peaceful . . . very peaceful days

Are my everyday life

Pg. 3
Tales of the Abyss Gaiden 5
EPISODE 00

But is it really?

Pg. 4
-- ND 2018 --

Ion – You’re Colonel Curtiss, correct?
I do understand your request

Pg. 5
From this document, it’s clear that Emperor Peony wrote it with sincere, not just saying it
Jade – Yes
Ion – His Majesty must truly wish for peace from the bottom of his heart

This must be why the citizens love him more than anything . . .
Which I think is truly wonderful

Is something wrong?

Jade - . . . Nothing
Pardon me

Pg. 6
Those thoughtful words are indeed reassuring
. . . I think it sounds very promising

Mohs – Colonel Curtiss!!
Jade – Yes

Mohs – Leave the letter here
We’ll give the official response to it tomorrow!!

Jade – Understood
I’ll be waiting at the port then

Pg. 7
Mohs – Fon Master Ion
The Order is to remain neutral

Fon Master is the figure of the Order
To lean yourself to serve one specific country
Is therefore unthinkable!!

Ion – But . . . Emperor Peony wishes for the peace of both Malkuth and Kimlasca
And I agree to that . . .

Pg. 8
Mohs - . . . Fon Master
Are you planning to depart from this town?

Ion – Y- . . . Yes
But I’ll bring a follower with me as well
Mohs – Fon Master

You can just leave it all to us

Pg. 9
You can just show up on the public events and sign documents and that should be fine
Just do as you always did

Ion - . . . Yes
I’m sorry

Mohs – Take some short breaks if you like
Fon Master Ion

Pg. 10
Priest – As said, Fon Master has confirmed that he cannot cooperate to this
Though he thanks you for asking

Jade – I see . . . that’s quite regretful

. . . Hmm

Pg. 11
To all pilgrims
Do you want a guide to lead you to all the stone monuments?
Anise-chan will be a cute, pretty guide for you for such a cheap price <3

Jade – May I request something from you, Miss?
Anise – Ye~s!! With pleasure~
(side) Money, money

Pg. 12
Jade - I’ve heard that Fon Master is in bed and couldn’t even go out in public events
Due to his sudden illness
Anise – And here is the 33rd Stone Monument~ <3

Jade - He suddenly just fainted right after I give him an invitation . . .
And got so sick that he even has to send messenger to deliver the response to a letter from Emperor Peony
Got me very worried
Anise – E~~H, and this 33rd Stone Monument documents the creation of the Earth and~

Jade – Can you please tell him that I want to make some appointment?
With the sick Fon Master
Anise – But I can’t do as you requested while I’m doing work like this
Jade – Well, please just tell him that then

Pg. 13
Anise – Just what’s with that colonel!?
Just because I’m a Fon Master Guardian, he . . .

It’s not like we can help him anyway
Since . . . I . . .

Mohs – Anise

Be careful with your action
You do know where you stand, don’t you?

Pg. 14
Anise – At Grand Maestro Mohs’ wish

Pg. 15
Ion – Hey . . . Anise
Anise – Ye- . . . Yes?

Ion – Is it really wrong for the Fon Master to help in making peace?
Am I really taking a wrong step as a Fon Master . . . ?

Anise – A- . . . About that
きっとモース様にも大詠師としてのお考えが…
Grand Maestro Mohs must also have his thought as a Grand Maestro . . .

Pg. 16
. . . It has been rumored among the people
That the war will surely happen this time
The cost of living also goes right up due to that fear

The truth is everyone is suffering from anxiety right now
But . . . whenever you walk around in the town, everyone is smiling with joy
Do you know why is that?

Ion - . . . Why?

Pg. 17
Anise – Because they have faith and respect in you
In our “Fon Master Ion”

Pg. 18
Ion!?

Ion – Thank you, Anise!!

Anise – Huh!?

Pg. 19
Ion – I have
Always been thinking

What should I do as a Fon Master?
Is this what being a Fon Master is like?

Yes . . .
This really . . . isn’t it!!

Pg. 20
Please take me away from here, Anise
For peace!!
I’m going with Colonel Curtiss

Anise – (side) Puppy eye?!

Pg. 21
Alright! I’ll go with you as well then
Ion – Anise!!
Anise – Since I’m a loyal people lover

Start of Operation: Run Away!
-- Order of Lorelei, the church entrance --

Pg. 22
Mohs – The people already know of Fon Master’s confinement . . . !?
Calm them down! Surround them!!

Jade – The Order’s tyranny is unforgivable!!
Let go of the Fon Master
Free our Fon Master!!

Pg. 23
Anise – The soldiers must all went to the front already
So climb down slowly, Ion
Ion – Ye- . . . Yes

Pg. 24
I never know
That Order’s security could come back to me in the time of escape like this . . .
Anise – I’m sorry to have you do something harsh like this

Ion – Never mind . . . I said I want to myself
So I’m fine!

Anise - You who are really docile giving in all you’ve got like this:
You must be serious about it . . .

Pg. 25
Alright, we’re here!! We reached the ground now, Ion
Ion – Yes . . .

Wa
UWA
Anise – KYA

Ion – I- . . . I’m sorry, Anise . . .
Anise – Never mind . . .
It’s good that we are already on the ground
Ouch

Ion – Colonel Curtiss!!
Jade – I’ve been waiting for you
This way, Fon Master

Pg. 26
Anise – In the end, I seriously did something very unthinkable now!!
If I got sacked, what will I do~~~

Ion – I’m sorry, Anise
I’ll try to use my authority to prevent that from happening
Anise – REALLY!?

Jade – Let’s go down this river and reach the sea without dropping by the port
My ship is waiting out in the sea

Pg. 27
Anise – It’s good that the Six God Generals are out on missions
If they are there, we would never know if we can actually run off like this

Jade – Right
Ion – You know of their absence?

Jade – Gathering information is just the basics
I had predicted out various situations that could happen
. . . Not getting your cooperation included as well, Miss

Anise – Hmmm
It seems complicated, but well done
Jade – Thanks for that then <3

Alright, the sea is just up ahead now

Pg. 28
Anise – The Order’s boat!! They are Grand Maestro Mohs’ pursuers
Jade – Fon Master Ion
Please come to my side
Ion – Eh?

Jade - I’ll shake them off!!

Pg. 29
Oracles Knights? – GUWAH

Jade – Hoh, Fonic Arte?
That’s quite reassuring
Anise – Uuuugh. So hard to control the degree of it
I didn’t plan to make them severely injured too

Pg. 30
Colonel Curtiss
You have any experience with dancing?

Jade – . . . I do have some interest though
But I thought dancing is something we do on the ground though, Miss?

Anise – Anise
It’s Anise Tatlin, Colonel

Despite of appearance . . . I’m also a Fon Master Guardian
Plus, a youngest elite <3

Pg. 31
Jade – Hmm
Excuse me for that then

So, Miss Anise

Ion – Wah!?
Jade – Let me see your skill then

Ion – Anise!?

Pg. 32
Anise – Here I go

One done!!
Oracle Knights – Ugh . . . Uwa!!

Two done!!

Ion – A- . . . Anise!!
Don’t do something dangerous like that!!
Jade – It’s to protect you
Fon Master

You have quite a good companion with you

Pg. 33
Ion – Yes!!

Anise – Anise-chan is also the genius as a puppeteer <3
This little body just has too much wonders in it

Ah

Jade – Oh

Anise – WAH

Pg. 34
Nice going, Colonel!
Jade – Same for you, Anise

Ion – Ah . . .

Anise – Aow

Pg. 35
Anise – We ended up being trapped now
Sorry

Jade – Hmm
Well, what should we do now then?
Anise – What to do~?

Pg. 36
Ion – Please hold on tight, both of you
It will . . . shake a bit!!
Anise – Ion!?

Pg. 37

Pg. 38
Awe-Awesome!!
All the soldiers are taken out all at once!?

Ion - I just made them unconscious
They will . . . wake up after a while
Take this moment-

Pg. 39
Anise – ION!!

Pg. 40
Jade – Excuse me for my rudeness right now
But please do not do any reckless and arbitrary action like that, Fon Master

There are still many other ways we can shake them off even in that situation
I’m going to tell you to trust a stranger like me, but . . .

Ion – I’m sorry

Pg. 41
Jade – I’m grateful that you would like to help us
However . . .
It is like putting a cart before a horse if you fainted because of it

Jade – Please listen to me, Fon Master
Please leave the battle to us from now on

Ion - . . . Leave to you?

Jade – Yes
Putting yourself into the line of battle isn’t your obligation

Pg. 42
Please use your kindness to protect people from the war
Fon Master Ion

Ion – . . . Fuh
Aha!
Hahaha!!

I- . . . I’m sorry
Thanks, both of you
I won’t do that again! I promised
Fufu

Anise – Umm . . . what’s so funny about it, Ion?
Ion – Eh . . .
Well

Pg. 43
Somehow, I just suddenly feel relieved
Even though
I was really, really scared a while back

This is the first time I’m this excited ever in my life!!

Those peaceful days . . . had ended today

Pg. 44
What will happen after this?
Who will I met with after this
Anise – Well, it’s good enough that he seems so happy

Ion – That is this throbbing sound in my chest

Yes, it just seems
That even in this very moment, something is

Pg. 45-46
Anise – Kya

Jade – What was that just now!?
Soldier - We detected a very strong Seventh Fonon!!
We had confirmed that it’s coming from Kimlasca direction to Malkuth territory . . . identification unknown!!

Jade – Seventh Fonon from Kimlasca?
Seems like something we have to investigate about . . .

Ion – Yes
Something big is about to change

Pg. 47
Right now, from here on

Thank you for reading . . .
