Tales of the Abyss
EPISODE09: “The Darkness of the Truth”
Pg. 1
** Luke whose face expresses his tiredness, before those eyes are **

Pg. 2
Guy – Hmmm, it’s too expensive!!
Can you give me 100 more Galds discount?!!

Shopkeeper – No more, 800 is 800!! You really won’t give up, do you?
Guy – Come on, discounting a bit more won’t hurt! 700, OK?
Shopkeeper – Fine, 780!! No more than that, please?
Guy – No, 700!! I won’t buy if it is over 700

Shopkeeper – Ah, fine!! 700 then
I gave up now!
Guy – Yeah!!

There you go, Anise. 300 Galds discounted.
Anise – Guy, you’re so great~
Guy – No problem

Pg. 3
Hahaha! Really, it’s not a big deal at all!
Arrow – Keep distant
Anise – If you don’t have that, you probably become really popular among girls~ . . .

Jade – Everyone probably has something they want
Since it would take 2-3 days on the ship to Baticul, please buy whatever you need here

And we will meet at the ship by sunset
Guy – Alright!!

Hey, Luke! There seems to be the store selling Fontech as well. Want to go together?
Luke – Umm . . . guess not . . . I’m not interested
I guess I’ll just wander around . . .

Pg. 4
Dist - This indeed is a perfect being
Dist – It doesn’t matter

We are done with opening the same fonslot in this guy already . . .
Luke – What . . . really is all that about
“A perfect being” . . . meaning? Me?

What were those people doing to me?
What really am I . . .

Pg. 5
Tear - . . . You’re done with your shopping?
Luke – N- . . . None of your business
And you’re done already . . . ?

Umm . . . Tea- . . .

Tear – Luke
Luke – Ah!? Eh!? What!?
Tear – You’re not an official Seventh Fonist, are you . . . ?

Pg. 6
Seem like I didn’t think about your amnesia as seriously as I should be
I must have said many bad things to you

Tear – I’m really ashamed of myself
I’m truly sorry

Luke - . . . Did you eat something weird today?
Tear – That’s rather rude . . .

Well
If you don’t understand something, you can ask me
About fonons, about the Score,

Pg. 7
I’ll teach it to you

Luke – Wha- . . . What, a cold-blooded, weird woman like you!!
Leave me alone!!
Tear – Ah, Luke . . .

Pg. 8
Luke – Wah!?
Noir – Ah

Oh . . . sorry there
Good-looking boy <3

Aww . . . making crossed face like that is no good, you know?
It would just make your handsome face looks bad . . . fufufu

Excuse me then <3

Tear – Luke!! Don’t be stupid
That person is the pickpocket!!
Luke – Heh? What?
Tear – Your wallet just got stolen!!

Pg. 9
Luke – HAH
Tear – She’s getting away!

Luke – DAMMIT, YOU DARE FOOLING AROUND WITH ME!!

Tear!! Sing that thing, that song you always sang
People – Uwa
That’s dangerous
Tear – No, I can’t . . . in the town like this
Luke – STINGY!!

GUNUHNUH
Don’t you dare making fun or me~~

UWOOOOOO

Pg. 10
Ah . . .

UWA

Pg. 11
Noir - You really are a daredevil for declaring yourself an enemy of us, the Dark Wing!!
Remember it!!

Pg. 12
Luke – What~~ Dark Wings!? You are the Dark Wings!?
Noir – Fuh, I’m going now!!

Luke – I really got into a lot of trouble just because I got mistaken for you guys
Man – Oh?
Isn’t that boy . . .
Luke – Dammit, come down here!!

Tear – You are! The driver of the carriage that we rode on to Engeve!
Man - Oh! You’re the girl from before

Tear – Ah . . . umm . . .

Man – Perfect timing! I really want to thank you
That pendant really makes a good price!!
It’s over the carriage fee, so I’ve to really thank you!!

Tear - . . . It’s sold then . . .
Is that so . . . ?

Pg. 13
I’m sorry . . . mother . . .
あいつら今度会ったらぎったぎたにしてやる！！
Next time I see those guys, I’ll beat them up for good!!

-- Ferryboat heading for Baticul “Katsburg” --

Pg. 14
Van - Arietta is currently sleeping in the cabin further down

I will take her and go directly to Daath from the port midway then
Ion – I’m leaving her to you then, Van
Luke – Eh~!? Let’s just go to the manor together, Master Van!?

Anise – Luke-sama, Anise is with you too <3
== I forgot what Anise used to call Luke . . . totally forgot (since I go play the Japanese version instead T^T )
Luke – I went through all that trouble to meet you~~

. . . But, the ship really is shaky, huh~
I’m going out to feel the air a bit then . . .
Anise – Eh, are you alright? Should I courteously nurse you? <3
Luke – Ah, never mind

あーダリィー
Ah, I’m dizzy

Pg. 15
Van – Is something wrong, Luke?

Pg. 16
Luke - Master . . . I
Understand now that I come to the outside world

That I actually know nothing about this world

Van - . . . Really . . . ?

Luke – Like, normally if you want something, you have to pay and buy it
It’s commonsense, right?
And the war that everyone is trying to stop right now
I seem to be the only one who doesn’t know that the situation is really that bad now

Pg. 17
And . . . also . . .
About the Seventh Fonist

Tear had told me once!
Something about me having that so-called power
Um . . . umm . . . but I didn’t know much about the fonons

So I think that maybe Master might know . . . like . . .

Pg. 18
Master!!
Those people who kidnapped me say something really strange
They put me on a weird machine and do some weird experiment on me
And they said that I’m a perfect being

Master, what on Earth is that!?

Is it because I’m that so-called Seventh Fonist!?
What really am I-
Van – Luke, calm down
Calm down and explain to me slowly . . .

Pg. 19
Luke?

Lorelei – I got you . . .

Pg. 20
I finally got you
The one with the same power as me

Luke - . . . Aaa
Ah

いつもの…あ…ああー幻聴…じゃなかった…！？
Isn’t . . . this . . . the usual . . . voice!?
Van – Luke!!
Lorelei – Luke fon Fabre
Luke – Wha- . . . What is happening . . . ? No . . . No . . .
Master!! Please stop it!!

My body is moving on its own . . . !!
Lorelei – Show me

Pg. 21
That power

Pg. 22
Anise – Uwa!? What is that!?

Van – Concentrate on my voice, Luke!!

Calm down and take a deep breath!!
One . . . two . . .
That’s right . . . good!! You’re fine . . .

Luke – Master!! I- . . . just now . . . I!?
Van – Seems like you just invoke the hyper-resonance . . .

Luke - . . . Eh?

Pg. 23
Hyper-resonance meaning . . . the one that send Tear and I flying to the Malkuth Empire . . .?
But . . . that’s . . . how can it . . . !!

Pg. 24
超振動とはセブンスフォニム同士の千歩により発生する力だ
Van - Hyper-resonance is caused by the interference between Seventh Fonons
By causing vibration of the object at the fonon level, it can either destroy or create any object from time to time
This is what that “destruction” is!!

Actually, for the vibration to happen, at least two Seventh Fonists are required
Like when you and Tear caused it by accident
But

As you see, Luke
You can cause hyper-resonance all by yourself

Luke - . . . Master . . .

I- . . . I don’t get it . . .
What had happened to me?
Van – It means you have the special ability . . .

Pg. 26
Van – I’m really sorry, Luke . . .
I do know of that power, but had been keeping it quiet from you
Luke – Eh . . . ?
Van – That’s what your father, Duke Fabre, wants

Since you are to become the world’s strongest “weapon” with this power!!

Luke – Weapon . . . ?
Van - No one knows if someone who wishes to use your existence in war will appear when!!

. . . Forgive me . . .
Even I, have to endure locking you up in the manor

Pg. 27
Luke – I-I got locked up all this time as the weapon!? But father said that it is because he is worried about my well-being . . .
Then . . . Then what about that I’ll be free when I become an adult? Is it a lie!? All of them!?
Then does that mean I will be locked up all of my life and will be used if the war happened!? I can’t take that!! No, Master!!
Van – I know!! I understand you!!

Pg. 28
いいか！！すべての元凶はキムラスカ王国とマルクト帝国のいがみあいにある
Alright!! All these is because of the tension between the Kingdom of Kimlasca and Malkuth Empire
First, we must eliminate the risk of the war to happen!!
Aren’t you heading for Baticul now because of that!?

First, we got to stop the war! And your goodness will be known to those out there
If so, then you will be given the status of the hero who protect peace

Luke - . . . Hero?

Van – Yes . . . become a hero, Luke!!
そのときこそおまえは理不尽な軟禁から解放されて本当に自由になれるだろう
At that time, you will be released from the irrational arrest and obtain your freedom for real

Pg. 29
I’m such a selfish teacher . . .

I have always been waiting forever
For the day that I can enlighten you with the truth

Pg. 30
Once you get down from this boat this time, it’s going to be at Baticul now
I might not make it there, but use all your power to bring the two countries to compromise
You who have now seen the land of Malkuth with your own eyes could probably talk with your own words now

Luke – A . . . hero . . .
Master . . . can I . . . . really . . . be a hero?

Van – Be confident, Luke

You are the chosen one

** Luke who is guided by Van . . . what is waiting ahead of him!? **

Thank you for reading . . .
