Tales of the Abyss
EPISODE 19 “That Day that Song is Born”
Pg. 1
-- Padamiya Continent, The Central Ocean --

Anise – I actually recall that we made a promise to meet up with Tear . . .

Pg. 2
But why does that spoiled young master here as well!?

Pg. 3
Luke – Everyone . . . sorry for all the troubles I’ve caused
Can you guys just give me one more chance?

Anise – You’re planning to repent for what you’ve done by cutting your hair?
Ion – But . . . it does seem like Luke was regretting his action
Also, we should be grateful that we get more fighters now

People – Hey . . . did you hear that!? About the Miner’s city!!
That seriously is scary . . . but it’s those Malkuth’s doing, right? That’s totally insane . . .

Ion - . . . Let’s go inside

Pg. 4
Right now, we’re heading to where the Emperor of Malkuth, Emperor Peony IX, is

If we speak to him, he surely will help us out
He doesn’t wish for the war to occur

Luke – W- . . . war!? What do you mean!?
Ion – I’ve been informed that Kimlasca is currently preparing for war

Their belief that Princess Natalia died at Akzeriuth is probably what set them off

Pg. 5
Luke – But!!
The thing about Akzeriuth isn’t related to the war since I’m the one who did it!?
Natalia is also safe and sound here thanks to Tear, isn’t it!!
Natalia – At the very least, those who didn’t know about it had misunderstood that . . .

Luke – Oh yeah!! Then let’s just go talk to Uncle!!
We can just explain to him like before, and it’ll be fine!!

Luke - . . . What
What’s wrong?

Pg. 6
Jade - Grand Maestro Moh had seized control over Daath
Soon enough, he’ll come to know that we’re all safe

If we approach them without any precaution, they might end up attacking us, thinking that we’re their enemy
The same goes to the capital of Kimlasca
Natalia – Father . . .

Jade – Do you understand what I’m saying, Luke?

Pg. 7
This time, I do not want you to sabotage us with your obstinacy

Anise – He’s really harsh . . .

Pg. 8
Jade – For a sinner, he does need to have some remorse for what he did . . .

Tear – Luke . . . once people have lost trust in you, it’s not easy for you to regain those trusts
So you have to endure it
Luke – Ah . . . OK . . .

Anise – Heh~

I see now~!! So this is why you stay behind in Qilphoth then, Tear~~!!
Luke + Tear – Eh?

Pg. 9
Anise - Tear, you!!
Like Luke, don’t you~~

Pg. 10
Tear – I-
I-I-I
I didn’t!! I was just searching for the book on Fonology, that’s all!! See!! OK!!
THAT’S NOT FUNNY!!
Anise – (Really?)

Tear – A-And where is Asch then!?
He’s not with you all!?
Luke – That seriously hurts, to be rejected that badly

Pg. 11
Natalia – We were . . . together with him until Belkend
After that, he just suddenly disappeared

Anise – He just suddenly got in a bad mood
It’s really hard to understand what he’s thinking

Pg. 12
Luke – What happened?
Guy – Oh, Luke
Seems like they’re changing the route a bit

Sailor – We have to apologize!!
This ship needs to stop over at Keterburg for some urgent maintenance!!
Passenger – What!?
We’re in hurry, OK!?

Sailor – It might be of some trouble to you, but please spend one night over at Keterburg . . .
Guy – As he said

Pg. 13
But I could probably be of some help if it’s about repairing Fon Machine though~
Anise – Don’t make yourself too noticeable!! Guy!!

Luke – Jade? Is something wrong?

Jade – Not really
Talking about lodging, I do know of one place we can go to
Luke – Really!! Let’s hit the road then!!

Jade – Though I’m feeling a bit reluctant to it

Pg. 14
-- The Silver World, Keterburg --
Luke – Wow, it is white everywhere!!
So cold!!

Are these snows . . . ?
Anise – This is awesome!! They’re so pretty!!
Jade – We’ve arrived, everyone

Anise – The sign said “The governor’s mansion” though? Colonel?

Pg. 15
Nephry – Brother!?

Jade – It has been a while, Nephry
Ever since your wedding, isn’t it?
Everyone – BROTHER!!?

Nephry - You’re safe!!
Everyone is saying that you died over at Akzeriuth . . . !!

Pg. 16
I see . . .
So that’s what it is . . .

Outer Land . . . Qliphoth . . .
It’s quite hard to believe

But . . . it’s good that you’re safe
Emperor Peony was really worried about you as well
Jade – Oh
He didn’t think that I’m already dead?

Nephry – He’s the only one who believe that you’re still alive

Pg. 17
Luke – But Jade has a sister? I never even thought that he would have a family
Guy – Umm . . . plus a really beautiful and attractive one
Anise – The only alike thing is their eyeglasses, right!!
It would be great if Asch can come to see this as well!!
Jade – What are you talking about, everyone?

Nephry – . . . About that man named Asch
Do you know the reason why he left you?

Pg. 18
Natalia – What do you mean!? Nephry!!

The researcher you met at Belkend . . .
He called my brother Balfour, correct?

Anise – Ah . . . come to think of it . . .

When he’s still young, my brother was adopted into the famous military family, the Curtiss
Balfour is our original family name

Pg. 19
. . . Brother
I do apologize if I am going to far with saying it
But I believe these people have the rights to know

Especially you, Luke!!
Luke – Eh?

Jade – Professor Jade Balfour
AKA Jade the Necromancer

Pg. 20
That’s the name of the Father of Fomicry

Pg. 21
Nephry – I apologized for having to call you out this late

I’ve heard that you’re a replica
So I really want to let you know about this
Luke

Pg. 22
The reason why my brother is obsessed with replica

Jade – Nephry
You don’t have to cry now
Look, it’s just like normal now, right?

Pg. 23
Nephry – As a child, I was really happy by that . . . but I came to realize something rather strange about it

The stitches and dirt on it that I recognized
What is in my hands was indeed my doll
But I couldn’t found any trace of it being broken

Pg. 24
He didn’t fix it nor made a new one nor buy a new one
He, at the age of 9 . . . used that arte
To replicate my doll

Pg. 25
My brother can master the fonic arte that even adults find it hard
And he enjoys torturing and killing even harmless monsters
At that time, my brother doesn’t understand what it means for living things to die
To him, everything in the world, if broken, can be easily brought back to normal . . .

He wasn’t normal
Yes
He was just

Pg. 26
Like a demon . . .

Luke - He!! He isn’t like that!!
He indeed is obnoxious, fussy and annoying most of the time, but!!

UWA!!
Nephry – Thank you, Luke

The one who changed my brother was Professor Nebilim
She was our teacher and a healer who can use seventh fonon

Pg. 27
Even though my brother excelled in fonic artes, he couldn’t use the seventh fonon
That’s why the only person he ever admired was Professor Nebilim . . .

However, the tragedy struck

Pg. 28
Jade – Pr-Professor
Professor Nebilim
I . . . I was just trying to use the seventh fonon
I never expected this to happen . . .

Pg. 29
Nebilim – Ja- . . . –de
You don’t . . . have to care about me
Run

Jade - . . . It’s alright

I still can make it in time
Professor!!

Pg. 30
Nephry – If I were to look at the result . . . what my brother did was a failure
That thing that was born wasn’t Professor Nebilim
And the real Professor Nebilim passed away

Pg. 31
My brother was adopted by the Curtiss after that
He probably wanted a better environment for the revival of Professor
My brother continues to research on replica of living things

And finally, he himself forbid the use of that technique

Pg. 32
But . . . I
Still think that even now
My brother still wishes to bring back Professor Nebilim

Pg. 33
Luke – Jade . . .

Jade – So you’ve heard about my past now then?

Luke – I-I-I didn’t!?
(Look away)
Jade - Your lie is really easy to catch

Pg. 34
I’m going to say, though
That I no longer wish for the revival of Professor

Luke – Really!?
You’re not lying, right!?

Jade – You should know it the best
Replicas have no memory of the past . . .

Pg. 35
I want to beg for Professor Nebilim’s forgiveness
Just to please myself
But I can never achieved that

I would probably live on this life, being tormented by the sin I’ve committed

Pg. 36
And . . . Luke
The reason why you and Asch are suffering right now is probably-

Luke – BUT IT CAN’T BE HELPED NOW, CAN’T IT!!

Jade - . . . What?

Pg. 37
Luke - I mean, if I actually have the brain for making replica, I would’ve done the same as you anyway!!
Also, if this Fomicry thing doesn’t exist, then I’ll never been born, isn’t it!?
WAAH, THAT’S CREEPY

So!! I mean!!
Nuuugh~~ I’m really stupid, so I don’t actually understand what the heck do I want to say~~ Umm~

Jade - . . . Oh
Are you trying to comfort me?

Pg. 38
. . . I afraid I can’t accept it though
Luke – Ah, wait, Jade!!
Are you listening to me!?

Thank you for reading . . .
