Tales of the Abyss
Gaiden 1 “The place I must return”

Pg. 1
- A 10-years-old Luke –
-The thing that reflects from those eyes are . . . –

Pg. 2
Soldier – The dirty kid like this, how can you be from the Duke’s manor!!

Kids these days sure are troublesome
How shrewd they could be
We are not so free that we have time to help kids run away from home . . .

Pg. 3
Get it!!
Asch – Guh!!

Sodier – Hey, hey. Don’t be so harsh, OK?
What are you planning to do if something happens to the Duke’s precious bocchan?
Oh yeah! We can’t do that then, can’t we?

Bocchan . . . you said you are Luke-sama, aren’t you?
How about next time, you take your great mom and dad with you so you won’t get hurt, OK?

Wa-hahahahaha

Pg. 4
Asch – *Ha*
*Ha*
*Ha*

I must get back . . .
Everyone in the manor is waiting for me . . .

Pg. 5
Dist – Is it really OK? To let that kid do as he pleased

He probably thinks he can run out by himself without us knowing it, isn’t he?
Largo – To be able to escape from the underground of the cathedral at his age is already quite impressive
Dist – Ha! Those low ranking soldier are useless, that’s all.

Right? Commandant

Pg. 6
Asch – Van-sensei!! Please teach me today as well!

Van – OK

Pg. 7
Suzanne – Luke
You will one day become a king of this country

In order to be able to lead the people, you must study hard and well

Natalia – If you can’t be an outstanding king, it will be a lot of trouble, Luke
We are to marry when we grow up, OK?

Asch – Even
Even you don’t say it, I understand already!

Pg. 8
Van – If it’s Luke, he sure will become a great king

I can ensure you on that

Asch – Van-sensei . . .

Pg. 9
Van-sensei is both very strict and very kind, a superb teacher

Sailor – Yeah, right there
Let’s quickly load the cargo!! The ship is going to set sail soon!!

Asch – Van-sensei taught me a lot of things
The sword, the knowledge for example

Because of father’s order, I hardly go outside the manor. He told a lot of things that happened outside for me.

Pg. 10
Van – Luke . . . you got a lot more things you have to know about this world

Asch – Eh?

I already know that! You already told me that my practice isn’t enough yet too, didn’t you?
Van - Not really, I know that you are already trying hard.

But you still can grow a lot more . . .
Because you are the chosen one

Pg. 11
Asch – “The one who got chosen to become the king of Kimlasca”
That’s what I think he means back then

But a little while after that, I came to know that that is not what he meant

Pg. 12
Van-sensei!! Why!?
Where is this place!? Let me go!

Some experiments I never knew of done repeatedly in a place I don’t know about, not knowing even day and night
The life caged in a narrow underground prison that I never even imagine up till then

I even thought that it will continue like this endlessly.

Pg. 13
. . . Sensei . . .
Help me . . .

Van – Luke . . . I’m sorry . . . I want you to understand
For the sake of the world, your power is needed

Asch – I don’t understand, sensei . . .
Up till now . . . in order to become the king of Kimlasca
I . . . tried my best . . .

I have to return. I have to return. I have to return.
Everyone at the manor is worrying about me

Pg. 14
A place like this is not the place I can live!!

. . . *ha*
*ha* . . .

Pg. 15
Sailor – This damn kid just came abroad our ship by himself!!
You are going to make us get into trouble for letting a kid cross over the countries
I will send you to the officer right now. Let him deal with you –

Asch – Ouch!!

Sailor – Ah!! You wait there you damn kid! Damn you!!

Pg. 16
Asch – Just a little bit more . . .

I got to pass through this marsh . . . to Baticul . . .

I got to go back. I have to go back
Back to the manor in Baticul
Everyone is waiting for me. To that manor

Pg. 17
Van – Just give up
We already made a replacement for you

There is no use in going back to the manor
To them, you are no longer of any use

Asch – Lie . . .
Voice – It doesn’t have to be you
We no longer need you
Asch – It’s a lie!
It got to be a lie!! If not then . . . !!
Voice – No longer need

Pg. 18
Natalia – Luke
When we grew up, we will marry each other
Become the king and the queen!

Let’s make this country the great place together

If it is us, we can do it for sure
Right! Luke!

Pg. 19
Asch – Right . . . I will become a king of Kimlasca
I am a person who is important to Kimlasca

Monster: Grrrrr . . .
Krrrrrrrrr

Asch – Everyone is waiting for me
Father, Mother, Guy, Natalia, everyone, everyone, everyone – That’s why—

Pg. 20
I MUST GO BACKKKKKKK

Pg. 21
UWOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pg. 22
Monster – GI GI GIIII

Pg. 23
Asch - *HA*
I will go back definitely

*HA*
Go back

*HA*

Back to the place where everyone is waiting
*HA*

Back to the place that is truly my place!!!

Pg. 24
*HA*
*HA*

*HA*
*HA*
*HA*

Pg. 25
I finally come back
Only a little bit more

*HA*
If I can go back to the manor in Baticul, everything will return to normal
*HA*
*HA*

Right, back to normal
*HA*

Everything will go back to normal!!

Pg. 26
Maid – Luke-sama!!

Luke-sama! I told you that running fast like that is dangerous
Ah!!

Pg. 27
Maid – Ah, Luke-sama. Please don’t cry
Are you injured!?
The pain shall go away! Please, Luke-sama

Duke - What a trouble Luke is now
Suzanne – Yes . . . To lose all the memories up to this point

Maid – Your body is cold, Luke-sama
Duke – What a pain . . . What I taught him to be a king, the sword trainings: GONE
Even how to speak, he forgets everything

Pg. 28
Luke – Aah—

Suzanne – Ah?
Luke – Ah!!
Duke – This is quite a problem . . . His body is this big already. He is not a baby, isn’t he?

Suzanne – Isn’t this good already?
Luke did return safely after all

Pg. 29
Natalia – Hey! Luke!?
What are you doing in the place like this!?

Asch – Natalia . . .

Natalia – I have been searching for you, you know?
. . . Here

Pg. 30

Pg. 31
Asch – Even if it isn’t me
It is fine

Pg. 32
Van – Now you understand the truth right, Luke?
Their selfishness . . . their stupidity . . .

They just say that you are an important person to this country
But they are all lies

Even when someone just go in an replace you, they don’t even question it . . .

Pg. 33
I am different

Luke
Please forgive me for leaving you with such horrible memories

To me, you and only you is an important person
If you are not with me, I would lose all my meaning
Can you come with me for once again then?

I want to live together with you

Pg. 34
Asch – UWAAAAAAAAAH

Pg. 35
Van – You are no longer Luke fon Fabre
I will give you a new name

Pg. 36
“Asch”
From now on, you are “Asch the Bloody”

Pg. 37
Asch – Asch
My new name

My new place

Yeah
Van – Let’s go
Asch – Yes sir!!
If Van-sensei is beside me, I have nothing to be afraid of
I will live on

Pg. 38
Asch – I will live life as a new person
- After that, the story moves on. Wait for the next one in the next issue –
