Tales of the Abyss
Gaiden 3 “The Bonding Vow”

Pg. 1
Peony – How much time has it passed since I exchange letters with you?
How long has it been since I exchange letters with you?
*The release of the third gaiden which the fans had been waited for*

Pg. 2
Peony’s advisor – Peony-sama . . .
Peony-sama!!
== Sorry, forgot what his name is. - -“

Peony - . . . what?

Pg. 3
Peony’s advisor – What!!
That’s not it!!

Are you listening to what I said!?
You seem to be looking at something else since a while ago!!
Peony - Yeah . . . I’m listening. I’m listening.
Peony’s advisor – Peony-sama!!

You are going to become the emperor of this Malkuth empire, correct?

You right now still have a lot more to learn!!
Then!! Please read the text here again

Pg. 4
Peony - Living in this palace is so boring
To become an emperor: that’s what my life has been bounded to
Everyday is just the same thing repeated over and over again

When I feel like that, I think about the days when I live in that city
Nephry
The time of youth which I had with you all

Pg. 5
Your city is still surrounded by snow, right?

Pg. 6
Nephry – Peony
Even now, the city
Hasn’t change one bit since the time you live in it

We four always are naughty, and got scolded by the adults
Though it would seem that I was the one who always hid behind my brother’s back . . .

Pg. 7
That time, my brother was always there beside me
Saphir was there

You were there

Pg. 8
*The pathways twisted by fate that the two are taken are!?*

Pg. 9
Peony – Was it only the time when I become adult?
The time passed after Jade and Saphir leave the city
音沙汰ひとつない彼らの不義理に俺は腹を立てていた
Not even a news on their injustice is offending me
== Not so sure . . .

Also, protecting you in Jade’s place is
Something I feel as if I must take on as a duty

Pg. 10
Nephry – Peony!! What are you doing this time of the night!?
Climbing up to the place like this is dangerous too!!
Peony – I just want to announce it to you fast

I’m about to go to Grand Chokmah

Nephry – To the capital!?
If the news about you escaping the mansion is spread out, it will become a really big problem!!

What are you planning . . . !?
Peony – Here!!

Pg. 11
Nephry – At that time, to be truthful, I’m
Just heard about the uneasy rumour
About my brother being called the Necromancer and many other names

I am very worried about my brother
Because of that . . .

Pg. 12
Nephry – . . . My brother
Is safe?

Peony – Th-There is nothing you should be crying about, isn’t it!?
We will reunite with each other for sure!! Jade is a strong guy
Saphir also seems to be fine as well.
He is stick to Jade as usual

Pg. 13
Peony – Ah

House’s owner – WHO’S THERE!?
Who sneaks into my garden!!
Peony – Wah, I got caught!

Pg. 14
Nephry – You always
Come and help me feel better

Secretly sneak out of the mansion
One time after another

Pg. 15
Peony – This time, I asked my servant
They said that Jade is on duty at Kaitzur

Nephry – Ouch

Peony – The paper cut you? It can’t be help then
Have this then
== Nothing big. I know what it is, but not in English. What do we called when we got a small cut on our finger because of the paper? (Like . . . don’t know how to explain it . . . - -“)

Peony – I eventually think of you more like my own sister
Here
Nephry – I began to feel that you are also my brother

Pg. 16
Peony – This knife will do
Use it as a paper knife

Nephry – It really is a majestic paper knife then
I will take a very good care of it

Thinking of your status in society, is our relationship something somewhat scary to you?
Peony – I talk to a 16-years old girl, understanding her probably

Pg. 20
But we didn’t care about that
Because in a short while, we will come to understand

Pg. 21
That this emotion will become nothing other than an odd thing

Pg. 22
Carl – My sons died!! One after another!!

And you are saying that this is in the score as well . . . !?
Your Majesty!! Please stay calm!!
Mohs – Everything is in the score . . .

Now, there is only one person who can inherit the throne
And that person
Is the one who will become the next emperor according to the Score

Pg. 23
Carl – Call Peony back!!!

Pg. 24
Peony - I will come back for you certainly
Even if I have to go away from this town

Even if I have to become the emperor
Even if someone come to intervene between us

Nephry – I will be waiting . . .

Pg. 24
Peony – That’s right
Those thought will never change

I vow that I will never let it change

Pg. 25
Even if we have to live on the different side of the globe

Pg. 26
Advisor – Peony-sama
Please do stop joking
You are a person who will become the next emperor, correct? If so, with a normal citizen—

Peony – Yeah, I’m the future emperor
I already know what my fate is putting me in
And you, if you understand that, then just watch your mouth

Pg. 27
Townswoman – Nephry, just give up on that
That kind of thing is just a random thought of the noble class

Nephry – No!!
Don’t just judge selfishly like that!!

Townspeople - It’s only because of rashness
He will just forget about a person who is not directly beside him . . .

Pg. 28
Peony – We wrote letters to each other
Continued writing letters

As an evidence of the thoughts we shared together

Pg. 29
Nephry – Yes
When we meet, it becomes like we will be able to live together
Then we depart
Therefore, it turns into the exchange of letter
How long has it been now?

Pg. 30
Woman – You are twenty-three now
Please forget about that thing

Your fitting pair will appear soon enough

Nephry – The feeling I have towards you even now
It doesn’t fade away even a bit

Everyday, those feelings overlap with each other that it is about to explode
There is no such day this that flame of thought will be extinguished
Peony

Pg. 31
Only this feeling within my chest that no one will be able to change
Scorer – Nephry Curtiss
I shall read you this year’s score
== AHA! I caught mangaka’s mistake. X3 Nephry’s last name is not Curtiss no matter what. Jade might be, but Nephry’s last name is always Balfour until she is married~ Just saying because it’s what written in the manga, so don’t change it ^_^”

Nephry - . . . Even if
The bond between you and me is something impossible

Pg. 32
Even if I say that I have to marry another person that is not you

Pg. 33

Pg. 34
Jade - That type of action will just wake up everyone in this palace

Guard – What happen!!
Peony-sama!!

Jade – Let me buy you some time then

Pg. 35
Peony – Sorry!!

Pg. 36
Nephry - . . . *sob* . . .
*crying* . . .

Pg. 37
Peony – Nephry!!

Nephry – Peony!!

Pg. 38

Pg. 39
Peony – Why . . . Why is it someone else!!
Nephry – You also know it . . . the Score is absolute . . .
I will get married this year . . . with another person . . .
That’s what it said in the Score . . . so then

Peony – JUST FUCK THE SCORE!!
== Sorry, I’m not that good at working out the swear word. You can change it, I just try to capture the sense of it. (and, Peony did use swear word here - -“)

Pg. 40
Nephry – No . . .
I can’t accept that!!
To marry someone other than you!!
I CAN NEVER ACCEPT THAT!!!

Pg. 41
Peony – Let’s escape from here!!
I’m going to abandon my country!!

Pg. 42
Nephry – The feelings that you think about me
Is neither the piece of lies nor fake

The feeling that I think about you
Is neither the piece of lies nor fake

Pg. 43
Peony

You are a person who will become an emperor
You are born with that status
Even if you can abandon your country
For you, you cannot abandon the people living in this country

Pg. 44
Because you are a kind person

. . . Because of that
Good bye

Pg. 45
However
I vow with this life
I love you

Pg. 46
People – Peony-sama!!
Peony-sama!!
Our new emperor!!
