Pg. 6
Velvet - AH!

Hey,
Laphi!
You shouldn't be reading books now!

Didn't I tell you to go to bed!!?
Laphi - Ah,
so-
sorry, Velvet!

Velvet - Come over here!

Pg. 7
I knew it, your fever hasn't gone down at all!
Get back to your bed.
The new medicine will arrive today too...

Laphi - But I'm going to the cape today...
Velvet - No, you are not!
I'll make you mild meatball stew, so be good and go to bed.

Pg. 8
Laphi - Geez!

You'll never get married if you're this stubborn.
Velvet - Eh?

Wha-
Wha-...
What're you saying!!

Stop teasing me and just get to bed already!
Laphi - WAH!

Oh yeah...!
[She surprised me...]

Arthur said he can't go get the medicines today because he has some appointments though.
Velvet - Oh, he did?

Pg. 9
Velvet - That means I should go then.
I can trade some boars that I hunt for the medicine...

Laphi - I'm sorry, sis.
Arthur said he's sorry too...

Pg. 10
Velvet - No need to apologize!
We're family after all!

Boar - *oink*...

*oink!!*

Pg. 11
Velvet - Arthur's tactics, no.2!
"Know the enemy and attack at its weakness!!"

[Boars can't stop immediately after charging, so...]

Boar - *OINK...!*

Velvet - Perfect!
Now I can trade these for some medicine.

Pg. 12
Boar - *oink...*

*OINK!!*

Velvet - [These guys are friends of the boars I just hunted!?]

Ah!?

Arthur - Seres.

Boars - *OINK!!*

Pg. 13
Velvet - Was that...

[Exorcist arte!!]

Arthur - Arthur's tactics no.4

"Never let your guard down even after achieving victory."
You still have a little more to go, Velvet.

Velvet - Arthur!

Pg. 14
Arthur - Are you hunting for boars...to pay for Laphicet's medicine?
I'm really sorry about that.

Velvet - Oh, no need to apologize at all!
I'm your apprentice! This is nothing!

Arthur - Alright...

My friend whom I'm having appointment with will be coming late, so I just want to come to tell you that I might not get home today.
I've already sent the boars I captured for selling, so can you go pick up the medicines for me?
Velvet - Sure...

But really!

Pg. 15
Exorcists are so awesome.
I can't believe you took down all those boars in just one blow...

Arthur...?

Arthur - A lot of daemons have been spawning close the village lately.
They're man-eating monsters...
If you ever encounter one, don't hesitate and just run away.

Pg. 16
Velvet - ...No!
If I ever come across one, I'll jus-...

Arthur - Don't.

Only the exorcists who formed pacts with malakim can fight against daemons.
That's the "truth", not something "emotion" alone can deal with.

Pg. 17
Malakim are supernatural beings invisible to normal humans' eyes.

Velvet - I see...
[True...I've actually never seen one before...]

Can I not become...
an...exorcist...too then...?

Pg. 18
Arthur - Velvet...
Why do you think is the reason birds fly in the sky?
Velvet - Why...?

Well...
to catch prey, I guess...?
Or...

Arthur - Tomorrow is Serika's death anniversary.
You should quickly go home.

Pg. 19
Velvet - [Exorcist...hm...]

Niko - Velvet!

Velvet - Niko! Out shopping for food?
Niko - Yup!
And you're just back from hunting?

Velvet - Yeah! I got a ton too!
Piece of cake!

Pg. 20
Niko - Wow, masculine as always, hm...
Velvet - But really...

you're a girl, so you should dress up a bit more though!

Velvet - The comb I used broke...

Niko - Why not buy a new one?
Velvet - Well, I want to too, but...

Pg. 21
Merchant - Oh, Velvet...

Laphicet's medicines aren't in yet though.
Velvet - Eh!?

I already talked to Arthur about this, but the daemonblight just got worse in the city. That's the plague that turned humans into daemons with no known cause.
Daemons are roaming everywhere too, so even if they did come in, I don't know how much they'll cost...

Velvet - No way...

Pg. 22
I'm back, Laphi! I just took a little detour!
I'll make stew for you right now though...

...Laphi?

[Did he!]

Pg. 23
I knew you'd come here! I told you not to come to pick flowers by yourself!
Laphi - Ugh...sorry...

But...tomorrow is Serika and her baby's death anniversary, so I...
Velvet - Geez, you're so...

The scenery here hasn't change at all, has it...?
Laphi - Nope!

Pg. 24
It actually has! The season, the wind, the weather, the sea
and...the scenery beyond the sea too!

Velvet - The scenery beyond the sea...?

You do say strange things from time to times too, you know?
Laphi - I-
I do?

By the way...Arthur isn't coming home today, right?
Velvet - How did you know that?

Laphi - Seres came and told me!
She's the red-haired malak girl...and Arthur's malak!

Velvet - [Arthur's...]

Pg. 25
You...really can see Arthur's malak, right?
Laphi - Yup. He said it's the talent of exorcist.

Pg. 26
Velvet - Hey, Laphi...

Why do you think is the reason birds fly in the sky...?
Laphi - To hunt for prey, I guess?
And to avoid their enemies...?

Velvet - Guess that's right...

Laphi - ...Sis...

Pg. 27
Tomorrow will be the Scarlet Night...the night when scarlet moon rises.

Velvet - Laphi...?

Laphi - What I think though,
birds with wings are...

Pg. 28
Velvet - Daemon...!!!

Daemon - GWOOOOO!!

Velvet - ...Laphicet,
I know it's hard, but run.

Pg. 29
Laphi - Sis!?

Velvet - [So tough!!]

[Crap!!]
Arthur - [Only the exorcists who have formed pacts with malakim can fight against daemons...]
[If you ever encounter one, don't hesitate and just run away.]

Velvet - [Arthur was right...]
[But I have to protect Laphicet...!]

Pg. 30
Laphi - Hold it there...
I'll be your opponent...!

Velvet - Laphi...!

Daemon - GWOOOOO!!

Pg. 31
Laphi - ...-is.
Sis.

Velvet - Laphi...

Laphi! Are you hurt!?
Laphi - I'm fine. Arthur came to save us.

And also, this...

Pg. 32
Velvet - This is...
[the comb at the store...]

La-...
Laphi...?

Pg. 33
Laphi - Your hair is really pretty, so I sold my picture books to buy this for you...Your old one broke, right?

I'll create it,

the world where you can live in happiness.

Pg. 34
Velvet - The Scarlet Night...
How come!?

[If I remember, Laphi and I...]
[were attacked by daemon...]

[Was all that...a dream...?]

[It wasn't!!!]

Pg. 35
[A horde of daemon!?]
[No way...]

[My sister was also killed 7 years ago in the Scarlet Night...]

[Aah...]
Daemon - GRR...!!
Velvet - [The whole village is...]

Pg. 36
Laphi...
Where's he...!?

Pg. 37
Laphi...!!
Arthur...!

Laphi - Sis!
Arthur - Velvet...

Velvet - Thanks goodness...
Arthur helped you?

Pg. 38
Laphi - Sis! Run...

Oww!

Velvet - Arthur...?

Arthur - In the past, the lid to hell was opened here...

Pg. 39-40
And tonight, to restore power of salvation,
I shall sacrifice Laphicet.

Velvet - Arthur...?
What're you talkin-...

Pg. 41
LAPHI!!!

Pg. 42
NGH...!

Arthur - Let go.
This is the sacrifice to the world.

Velvet - WHY!!

Arthur - He can no longer be saved.

Velvet - NO...!
NO, NO, NO, NO!!

Pg. 43
Arthur - I see...you really
are governed by emotions.

Velvet - Why...
Ar...thur...?

Pg. 44

Pg. 45-46

Pg. 47
How dare you...!

Daemon - GWOOOO!!!

Pg. 48
*gulp*...
*gulp*...

Arthur - So you've too turned into a daemon...
or rather...the daemon who devours other daemons, the "Daemon Eater"...

Velvet - ARTHURRRRRR!!!

*huff*
*huff*

Arthur - Look around closely.

Pg. 49
Velvet - Ah..
AAAAH...!!

Arthur - The village is plagued with Daemonblight.

Pg. 50
Velvet - [So many malakim...!?]

[Seres, the red-haired malak...]
[So that's...his...]

Arthur - "Why do birds fly?"
This is my answer, Velvet.

You don't have to forgive me.
All of these are my sins.

Pg. 51
All sufferings shall be put to halt
by me, the exorcist, Artorius Collbrande.

Velvet - Ar...torius...
[This is...]

[how my world ended...]

Pg. 52
[3 years later...]
[The beyond land. "Prison Island" Titania]

*vooo...*

Pg. 53
Daemon - Grr...

GAAAH!!

Pg. 54
Velvet - HAAAH!!

Pg. 55
*spat*

Pg. 56
*gulp*
*gulp*

Pg. 57
Seres - Are you perhaps done with your meal?

Velvet - SERES!!

Pg. 58
[The prison seal...!?]

Pg. 59
Seres - I've come to save you.

Velvet - ...What gives...?
Seres - Exactly as I said.

The situation has changed since 3 years ago. I don't have much time left.
Please make your decision...

Pg. 60
Velvet - Fine...

I don't know what you're planning,
but I'll get out of here and kill Artorius.
And that's all.

Pg. 61

Pg. 62
[3 years...]
[I've been devouring.]

[the flesh and blood of daemons,]
[in order to live on, even if I become the monster that devours daemons...]

Seres - These are confiscated items from prisoners.
Velvet - This is plenty.

Pg. 63
[This is the story of my...]
[of Velvet Crowe's revenge.]
