Tales of the Abyss
EPISODE 10. “The City of Return (First part)”
Pg. 1
** The capital rising as high as the sky, Baticul . . . the truth that is awaiting there is!? **

Pg. 2

Pg. 3
-- Kingdom of Kimlasca, the Capital Baticul, highest floor – Baticul Palace --

Mohs – The situation is in race with time now, Your Majesty

Pg. 4
-- Order of Lorelei, Grand Maestro Mohs --
The Malkuth Empire is currently strengthen the capital, Grand Chokmah, into a fortress city now
It’s undoubtedly the move of preparing for war

Ingobert – Hmph . . .
-- Kingdom of Kimlasca, King Ingobert the Sixth --

Mohs – In a meanwhile, they had secure the supplying route which has Engeve as the main-
Guard – Please don’t!! Right now, His Majesty is currently having an audience . . .
Luke – Shut up!! Dare to interfere with me and you’re out of here!!

Pg. 5
Uncle!! Don’t get tricked by him!!
What that guy is saying is all nonsense!!

Ingobert – You’re . . . Luke!! You’re safe!!

Pg. 6
Mohs – Oh . . . oh, isn’t that Fon Master Ion who had been missing?!!
We’ve been searching for you . . .

Luke – Hah!? Aren’t you the one who had been getting in our way again and again on our trip to Baticul!?
You are actually totally annoying, old man!!
Mohs – Ol- . . . old man!?

Luke – You are the one who wants the war to happen, aren’t you!?

Pg. 7
Mohs – Wha- . . . What are you saying?!! I’m here to report the threat of the Malkuth to His Majesty
Ingorbert – What do you mean?

Luke – Uncle
Listen to what I have to say

I’ve gone to see Malkuth with my very own eyes
Though I didn’t go near to the Capital, Engeve or Kaitzur are peaceful and carefree places

I’d also spoken with many of the people living there
Many of them do feel unease of the war
But at least from what I saw, they are not preparing for war or anything like that

Pg. 8
Not to speak of that-
Mohs – Totally a lie!! Your Majesty!! Please listen to my . . .
Ingorbert – Continue, Luke
Mohs – Your Majesty!!

Not to speak of that, conversely
There’s no end to the rumors as to when Kimlasca will launch an attack!!

And I wonder who was it that let that rumor spread out and for what reason!?

Mohs – You’re saying that that is my doing?
Nonsense

Pg. 9
Those two are the evidence that Malkuth has no intention of war
Ion from the Order of Lorelei and Jade from Malkuth army

It had been a long time, Your Majesty
Ingorbert – Oh . . . Fon Master Ion!! You must have comes a very long way
Seems like you have been taking care of Luke

Jade – Anise

Ion – This person here is the representative of Emperor Peony the Ninth of Malkuth, Colonel Jade Curtiss
Jade – I have been assigned the duty by my ruler of delivering this letter to Your Great Majesty Ingorbert the Sixth
Please accept it

Pg. 10
Ingorbert - Certainly

Pg. 11
And Luke . . . Commandant Van is not with you?
Luke – Master said he is going to visit Daath before coming here
Ingorbert – I see . . .
Mohs – Those fools . . . what have those God General been doing!!

How unpleasant. I’ll try to do it again later then
Tear!! Come and report to me later
I did give you a mission to work on, correct?!!

Tear – Yes . . . Grand Maestro Mohs

Anise – It’s great that we can safely deliver the letter!!

Pg. 12
Jade – It’s too smooth that it is scary though
It is also strange that there’s no sight of the Six God General at all after the case with Arietta
Anise - Aww~ You don’t have to coerce about it right away like this!!

Jade - It would be good if it is just a joke though . . .

Anise – But come to think of it, Baticul is such a big city!!
Mieu – It’s so many times bigger than Cheagle Wood!!

Guy – This town was made from the dent on the Earth surface from the Fon Stone that fell down from the sky
That’s why the floors are made vertically up from ground

Tear – A naturally-made defense wall, right? That’s pretty reasonable
Anise – Wow, that’s great!

Pg. 13
As expected from Master Luke’s city <3
Master Luke <3
Luke – Hm? Ah . . . what . . .

My city . . . ? Dammit . . . I don’t feel like I’m back home at all
Thanks to my house arrest in the manor, this is my first time seeing it

Van – Become a hero . . . Luke!!

Luke – That’s right . . . it will be different from now on
I’ll change the future with my very own hands
Just like you said, I’m one step closer to being a “hero” now, Master!!

Tear – Luke

Luke – Just now . . . you did really well
You have taken care of your responsibility precisely
I have to look at you again

Luke – Eh . . . yeah, well!!
Rather than responsibility . . . it’s more like I just want to be a hero though

Ramdas – YOUNG MASTER
We have been waiting for your return!!
Maid – Master Luke!!
Master Luke!!

Pg. 15
Ramdas - Everyone here has been wishing that Master Luke is safe and sound again and again!!
Just where and what had you been doing from that time?
Maid – Master Luke, are you hurt!?
Luke – Wow
Maid – You are probably tired from the long trip!!
Welcome back, Master
Welcome back Guy too!!
Ramdas – Oh . . . you all are probably the people who have help Luke back to Baticul, right?
Ramdas – I, Ramdas, totally have no word to express how grateful I am!!

Luke – Where’s Father then?
Maid – Good God, you’re safe
We’ve been worried about you
Ramdas – Duke Fabre has an emergency business that he just left for the palace just now
More importantly that that, Master Luke, you better hurry to Madam’s side

Natalia – Luke!!

Luke – Wah

Pg. 16
Natalia – I was so worried about you, Luke!!

You haven’t change at all!!
It’s good that you are safe more than anything

Pg. 17
Anise – So beautiful!! What!? Who is she!?
Guy – She’s the princess of this kingdom, Princess Natalia
And she’s Luke’s fiancée

Everyone – FIANCEE!?

Luke – Ah, well
Speaking of which, you are totally overreacted!
(side) Look away
By the way, why are you here then? Go back to the palace already, will you?

Everyone – Hm?

Pg. 18
Natalia – Luke!!
What is with that attitude?!!

Do you even understand how much I and everyone else here are worried about you!?
Luke - Can you shut up already?
Natalia – Again and again, I’m totally fed up with your behavior now. Are you listening to me!?

And also . . . what is this!?

Be ashamed of yourselves for bringing women in here!!
Ion – I’m a boy though
Anise – Mmmm . . . if they don’t go together like this, there’s still chance then?
Mieu – I’m a boy as well
Natalia – Don’t tell me, you didn’t have any special relationship with the maids, do you, Luke!?

Pg. 19
Tear – Luke

I’ve really misjudged you
Luke – Hah!? I didn’t do anything!!

Natalia – Who are you?

Luke – She is Master’s sister!! By the way, they are not maids, you know?
Tear – I’m Tear Grants. Nice to meet you
Natalia – Oh

So, you’re the one who cause all these chaos then . . .
. . . I see

Pg. 20
Oh yes! This is not the time to do that . . . Luke, quickly go to Madam Suzanne’s side
Luke – Is something wrong with Mother?

Natalia - She fell ill after you went missing
I’ve come to visit her

Go let her know that you are back quickly
Luke – O- . . . OK!!

Guy – If you mind, you should go meet with Madam and apologize to her as well

She probably passed out because Luke went missing
Tear - . . . Yes, I should

Pg. 21
Ramdas – There’s a message to you all that your room in the palace is ready for you all now
Ion – Then we’ll have to get going then
Guy – Well, I also have to report the thing that happened to the knights too
Ion – So, we are separating apart for the time being then

Luke . . .

Thank you

Pg. 22
Suzanne - Oh . . . Luke!!
You really are Luke, right . . . ?

I was so worried about you . . .
I thought that you got kidnapped by the bad group of people again . . .
Luke – I’m fine, so go to sleep, Mother!

I’m alright now
I’ve come back as you see

Pg. 23
Tear – Madam . . . I’m Tear Grants

The reason your son is involved in this is because of my carelessness . . . please forgive me
Because I intended to defeat my brother without concerning about the surrounding, I’ve caused you trouble

Suzanne – I see . . . so this incident is not a doing of the evil people who targeted Luke’s life then?
Tear – It is not . . . I swear under Lorelei’s and Yulia’s names

Suzanne – I’m relieved . . . thank you, Tear
But . . .

Pg. 24
I might not know what happened between you two, brother and sister
But please stop trying to kill your true brother

The battle between blood relatives is a sad thing

Tear - . . . I thank you
For those words . . .

Pg. 26
Luke . . . your mother is very kind
Please take care of her well

Luke – What is it . . . like you have right to say that to me

Tear – I guess so . . .

Then . . . I’m going to report to Grand Maestro Mohs now then
Luke – Ah, wait

. . . Well, don’t take it . . . too seriously, OK?!!
Mother passed out probably just because she has a weak body to begin with!!

Pg. 27

Pg. 28
Soldiers – You’re Commandant Van Grants, right?

I do understand that you are tired from the boat trip . . .
But I have the order from the king to take you to Baticul Palace immediately

** What is the reason behind calling Van . . . !? Wait till the next issue!! **

Thank you for reading . . .
