Tales of the Abyss 11

Not to waste anytime, since I have the whole day today to translate stuff (and maybe play some games, maybe FFX or P4 or some Tales games :p )

I really want this chapter of TotA to be my 150th posted overall translation (out of almost 300 overall translations I've done . . . lost about 60-70 of them and didn't post another whole bunch . . . >_<") but . . . forgot that yesterday is Wednesday . . . >.>"

Anyway, ToS ch.21 will follow shortly. After that, I think I might either do something about ToD: DC or maybe throw in a translation for Eternal (since this is for WoaA, ToS is WoaA as well . . . :darn ). If so, maybe . . . *go off looking at Eternal's project status* . . . either ToL or ToD2 . . . I guess . . . *try to think really hard* I don't want to go to SO2 ch.3 just yet when ToL ch.4 is in typesetting and I still didn't get ch.5 started . . . or maybe Thai translation of Blazer Drive . . . ummmmmmm :darn

*trying to plan things out* Fairy Tail 97 is done, One Piece 509 tomorrow and hopefully D.Gray-man 168 on Saturday . . . and I'm sneaking out to Kino next week's Friday for Rival . . . I have no intention to study for Chemistry (maybe only crystal lattice part and that's all - -") and Economics. That left me with the whole next week's non-exam time for translation and Biology project . . . Blazer Drive ch.2 it is then~ So I can switch over and one less work for me~ XD

And yeah, I need to get my tankanbou back before I finish ch.12, got all hyperactive and make a ridiculously long gap that I know no one will be happy about :p (meaning, jump right to Dengeki Maoh, and that means more than 10 chapters gap :p )

OK, end of my rant (don't know why I like to rant in my translation thread so much. Guess it's because I got nowhere else to do so with so much writing . . . and predictably so much mistakes . . . XD ) ENJOY THE CHAPTER~

Tales of the Abyss
EPISODE 11 “The City of Return (Part 2)”
Pg. 1
??? – Here’s the result data from the fon disk you’ve given to us
Jade – Thanks

The Fon Disk that Arietta left behind at Coral Castle
There might be some hint in here about what the Six God Generals are really after

This is . . . the research on the isotopic fonon

3.141592 . . . the fonon frequency of Lorelei?
What is this have to do with Luke . . . ?

Pg. 2

Pg. 3
??? – . . . Answer me . . .

You can hear me, can’t you . . . ?
Then answer me . . . answer my voice
OK?

Young – Master

Pg. 4
Luke – Something . . . about this guy seems a bit different from before . . .

Ummm . . . I can’t really think it out now
Well . . . never mind . . .

Pg. 5
Maid – Good morning! Master Luke!
Today got the very nice weather just as the Order’s Score dictates

Master Luke
The Duke wants you to go to the castle right now

Luke – Huh . . . is it really OK for me to go outside the manor now?
Maid – Yes! It’s totally fine
Luke – Oh?

Luke – Father used to be so strict saying not to go out before
Is this also because I’m getting closer to become a hero!? Hehehe . . .

Pg. 6
Duke – Oh
We’ve been waiting for you, Luke

Luke - What is with everyone gathering here . . .
Hm?

You’re still here?
The Oracles Knight is freer than I thought

Tear – Don’t worry . . . It’s not like I stay here because I want to

Luke – Something about you just irritate me!!
Duke – Luke! You’re standing before His Majesty

Pg. 7
Listen, Luke!!
After the urgent meeting last night, we all have agreed that
The Kingdom of Kimlasca will sign the peace treaty with Malkuth Empire!!

Luke – Ahah . . .

Oh!? That means one step closer to me becoming a hero then!?
Heh!! That’s a really fast reply, uncle!!

You really did nice when you need to be, huh!!
Now my effort won’t just go waste
Duke – Luke! Watch your mouth
Igobert – Hmph . . . Luke
Your role in this case is indeed marvelous

Pg. 8
That’s why, Luke
I want you to act as the ambassador of the Kingdom of Kimlasca
Luke – Huh?
(side) What the heck?

??? – The proposal for the Peace Treaty your company had delivered to us
Also has the proposal for aiding in helping one of the town of the Malkuth Empire written in it
That town’s name . . . is the Mining City of “Akzeriuth”!!

Pg. 9
That town which lies on the border between Malkuth and Kimlasca
Currently is facing the danger of annihilation due to the poisonous material from beneath the Earth known as “the miasma”
But even if they want to go save the people in there, all the routes toward the city is blocked out by the miasma
So nothing can be done from the Malkuth side!!

And for that reason, they asked that our country will go save-
Luke – Wa- . . . Wait a sec!! You are not telling me to go there, are you!?
No way in hell I’m going!! No more fighting for me, ever!!
And what is with that miasma thing!? I just don’t get it

Ingobert – Can you please hear us out first . . . Luke
Actually, there is a reason

Pg. 10
As to why only you can do this job

Luke – Only me
Can do this job . . . ?

??? – Please look at this
This is one part of the Yulia Jue’s Sixth Fonstone that had fallen into our land in the past

Pg. 11
On this fonstone is an important Score that is related to the case right now!!

Luke – F- . . . Fonstone? Score?
And what do those have to do with me?

Ingobert – Luke, you have not yet known much about this world
I’ll explain to you

2000 years ago
A fonist, Yulia Jue, have read the path of the future this planet must follow in the Score

Pg. 12
With its tremendous length, Score is recorded into seven fonstones, each of the size of the mountain
Due to several causes, the fonstones erode with time. Some parts of it are left in the fonstone belt that we see in the sky. Some fell upon the Earth.

The “Future” of this world as Yulia Jue read! That to us is something we must live our lives according to even today!!

To protect the peace and order, we must obey the Score
That’s the thought shared by all the people living in this world, Auldrant!!
Do you understand, Luke?

Luke – I . . . I do know that Score is something we need to protect!
(side) At least!
And what is it about that then?

Pg. 13
The Score can only be read by the Seventh Fonist.
Tear,
Can you read the Score engraved towards the bottom of this fonstone?
Tear – Yes

ND2000 . . . The one who inherits the power of Lorelei shall be born into the imperial blood of Kimlasca with the hair of red
He shall be named “the Light of the Sacred Flame” and he shall lead Kimlasca Lanvaldear to the new prosperity

Pg. 14
ND2018 . . . The one who inherits the power of Lorelei shall lead his people to the Mining City
There . . .

The part after this got deleted

Ingorbert – Do you hear that
Luke!!
You are the “chosen one”

Duke – Luke!! In order to protect you from those who are targeting you
We have no choice but to put you in the house arrest
But now is the time that you will go out and become “a hero”!!

Pg. 15
Luke – Hero

Van – Be confident in yourself, Luke
You are the chosen one

Luke – I’m the hero . . .
That’s right!!
Duke – What would you say then!! Are you feeling more interested in taking on this job?!! Luke!!
Luke – It’s just as Master told me!!

Pg. 16
. . . Only I can do it, right?
Fine then!! I’ll do it.

Duke – You’ve made a very good decision!!
Ingorbert – Thank you, Luke!!

Jade – A hero . . . hmm

Pg. 17
??? – Then who would you like to take with you?
I’ve already tell Colonel Curtiss beforehand
Luke – Anyone is fine by me.
Duke – Oh, that’s right. I’ll let Guy go with you as your caretaker then!

Tear – I will be going too as an Oracle Knight

Natalia – Father . . . I should go with Luke as an ambassador as well!
Ingorbert – Natalia!! I can’t let you. We’ve already spoken last night.

You can go talk to Commandant Grants
It would be pretty relieving if Commandant would agree to go with you
Natalia – But . . .
Luke – Eh!!

Master Van got back already!?

Pg. 18
Hero . . . a hero
I’ll become a hero

Together
With Master!!

Master!!

Pg. 19
Van – Are you coming to ask me?

Luke – Yes!! Master will come too, right? To Akzeriuth!!
I’ll give it my best to become a hero!! OK? Master!!

Van – Luke

Can you come along with me?
To become one of the Oracle Knights!!

Pg. 20
Luke - . . . What are you saying, Master?

Van - Luke, right now, there’s no one else but the two of us
Therefore, I want you to calm down and listen to what I’m going to say

I’ll help you in the duty of saving Akzeriuth
But the king, the Duke, as well as you
Are being too simplistic about this event

Pg. 21
You’ve heard Yulia’s Score, haven’t you?
Luke – Umm . . . yep

Van – There actually is a continuation to that Score

Luke - Con-
Continuation!?

Van – ND2018
The one who inherits the power of Lorelei
Shall lead his people to the Mining City

There . . .

Pg. 22
“He shall turn his power into calamity and become a weapon of Kimlasca”

The higher rank in the Order who knows of this Score
Is thinking that you will be the one who is going to cause the war on Rugnica Plain . . .
Do you understand that, Luke!?

Luke – That can’t be
Even if I save Akzeriuth, the war will happen . . . if so, then I

Pg. 23
Van - Will be chained in Baticul for the rest of your life as the pet dog of Kimlasca!!

I want to help you before you will be used in the war!!

Pg. 24
Van – Listen, Luke!! That’s what the Score read
That you will lead people out of Akzeriuth
And as the result, start the war!!
So, you can just don’t move the people out of Akzeriuth!!

But instead use your hyper-resonance to neutralize the miasma and make Akzeriuth back to an inhabitable city
By doing that, you will be able to avoid the war, become a hero and obtain your freedom!!

Luke – But . . . But I
Am not sure if I can cause hyper-resonance all by myself . . .
Van – You can! I’ll lend you my power as well

Pg. 25
Just like when you got out of control onboard the ferry
You will be doing fine
And after that, you can go to Daath, together with me . . .

Luke – Master
Master, why do you seem to care that much for me . . . ?

Van – I guess you already forgot it due to your memory loss

But when your are young, you used to told me
That you want to go to Daath with me

Pg. 26
You wanted to escape from this country due to the cruel experiment you’ve experienced in the research for the hyper-resonance

That’s why I kidnapped you!! On that day seven years ago!!

Pg. 27
Luke – Master . . . kidnapped me
The one who kidnapped me wasn’t Malkuth, but Master . . . !!

Van – Luke
I won’t make any mistake this time

You are very important to me!!

Pg. 28
Luke - . . . I
This is the first time anyone said that I’m important to anyone

I get it now, Master!!
I’ll do anything that you say
I’ll go with you!!

Pg. 29
Van - Let’s go together
To grasp onto your own future!!

Luke – Yes!!

Van – And Luke, don’t tell anyone about the plan before the time comes, OK?
If anyone in Kimlasca knows about it, your chance of going to Daath will vanish
Luke – OK!! I’ll keep it as a secret, Master!!

Pg. 30
Master is really a special person
He’s the only one who always takes care of me seriously and teaches me stuff really well

Uwa!?
Anise – KYA

Luke – Anise!? Watch your path more, dammit!!
What is the hurry?
Anise – Ah~ Master Luke
This is really bad

Fon Master Ion just got kidnapped~~~!!!

Thank you for reading . . .
