Tales of the Abyss
EPISODE 7 “The Gate of Decision”
Pg. 1
** Luke’s party in reunion with Anise. The next destination is . . . **
Anise – Aww~
I was so worried about you all!?

Jade – That should be our line, Anise.
Ion – Thank goodness, you are not hurt!
Anise – A-

Ah!! Luke-sama~ I want to meet you again so much!
Luke – Waa!?

Anise – Eh? May I ask who are you then?
Guy – I’m Guy, Luke’s servant.
Nice to meet you.

Anise – Heh~ Luke-sama’s!!
So, he is Anise-chan’s future servant.
Nice to meet you!!

Pg. 2-3
Tear – He doesn’t really like girls.
(side) I also got the same reaction from him . . .

-- Fortress Border Line, Kaitzer --

Pg. 4
Anise – Ion-sama really overuse his power, right . . .
Seems like he did something over his strength in the case of Tartauros

Guy – Tear, how is your injury?
Tear – Yes, I’m . . . fine now
How is Colonel’s fon slot seal then?
I’m currently cancel it out little by little, but it will take some time

Well, because it is different from my initial power, I don’t think I’m inferior to everyone though
Guy – . . . Is this his nature?
Tear – Seems so

Jade – Anise, how about that thing?
Anise – Yes!! Of course!!

Pg. 5
Guy – That’s . . .
Jade – Correct. It’s the letter written by His Highness Emperor Peony himself

To avoid the war between Malkuth Empire and the Kingdom of Kimlasca . . .

To deliver this letter safely to King Igobert the Sixth of the Kingdom of Kimlasca
In another words, to Luke’s uncle
And propose peace and unity between the two countries: that’s our main mission

Pg. 6
Because of that, protecting this letter from the hands of the enemy is a must
The leader of the Order of Lorelei which the two countries firmly trust on . . .
The presence of Fon Master Ion is also very important . . .

Within the Order of Lorelei itself are also those who opposed Ion-sama
The Grand Maestro Fraction under the command of Grand Maestro Mohs – They are the one that we have to watch out for most
As the one who wish for the war, they will never let us alone

The battle from now on will probably become more and more severe
Even so, even if it cost us our lives, we must send Ion-sama and the letter safely to the Kingdom of Kimlasca

Please be prepared for it

Pg. 7
It’s also very important that we can recover back into formation if we are under surprised attack
Let’s have it like this then

Ion-sama is in the middle while Guy, Tear and I form the triangle formation around
Anise protects Ion-sama in the middle while giving us support
Anise – YES!!

Jade – And Luke – You stay in the center with Ion-sama, protect yourself only when it’s necessary
Luke – Eh . . . ?
Jade – I’m saying that you don’t have to fight

That’s all for the talk about from now on then

Pg. 8
TEAR!?

Tear, the injury on your arm really is still . . .
Mieu – Tear-sam, are you hurt!?

Tear – I-I’m fine . . .

The blood is still coming out a bit . . . so I just lost a bit too much blood
I should get better after I take some rest
== It said anemia when I look up the word 貧血. I’m not 100% sure what it means, but from what I understand, Tear lost too much blood, thus I translate like that. - -“

Pg. 9
You’re kind
But at the same time, naïve

It can’t really help it
If I have do it, I do it

I didn’t fight because I like to fight

Luke - . . . Idiot . . .

Pg. 10
I . . . I will fight as well!!

Please let me fight

Pg. 11
Tear – Luke . . . it’s OK

Even though I know that you are a civilian . . . I still fail to understand it
I’m sorry about everything up till now

Luke - Wha . . . Why are you apologizing? That wound is because of me . . .
Tear – I’m a soldier. Protecting civilians is supposed to be my duty.

If you fight, you surely must inflict pain on other people
It’s about taking people’s life and advantage over the enemy
Happiness, pity, anger and empathy – we have to suppress all those completely
. . . It’s better for you not to carry all those things

Pg. 12
It’s alright . . . I will surely protect you
Please endure it until I send you back to the manor

Luke – Wh- . . . Why do you make that decision by yourself?
How can I be hiding in the back while everyone is fighting?

I don’t want to see any of you all getting hurt anymore
I’ve made up my mind!!

Pg. 13
I will fight
And will carry that responsibility as well!!

Isn’t that fine? Let’s have a look at it then, Tear
A look at Luke’s decision

Pg. 14
Tear - Passing that checkpoint is the Kingdom of Kimlasca, right?

The problem is with Luke and me
Since we crossed over the border without any immigration process, we don’t have passports

Ion - If I say my name, wouldn’t they let Luke and Tear pass through?
Jade – I don’t think identifying oneself is a good idea if not necessary though . . .

Luke – We wouldn’t need that kind of stuff
Tear – Eh?
Anise – Luke-sama?

Pg. 15
Luke – I’m Luke fon Fabre, the son of Duke Fabre, the relative of King Igobert VI of the Kingdom of Kimlasca!!

I’m returning to my country!! Let me pass through!!
== . . . Simple and stupid, I must say. XD

Pg. 16
Soldier – Here it comes, officer
Officer – It’s quite rare to get that kind of easy-to-see lie!!

Luke – I’M NOT LYING!! I REALLY AM A SON OF THE DUKE!!
Soldier – Yes, yes, you’re saying that you’re a high class person, right!? WAHAHAHAHA

If you are the real one, then show us your passport of identification report
You don’t have it, right? Huh?
Ion – Jade . . .
Luke – I don’t have that kind of thing, but I’m real
If you see my father, you will know

Officer - “If we see, we will know it”, you said?
Luke – That’s right!! So let me get back to Kimlasca!!

Officer – There are a lot of people . . . that illegally passed the border by claiming this and that, it seems

Pg. 17
Don’t estimate the adults, kid

Luke – Eh?
Officer – I’m bored of dealing with the brats like you

Ion – Wait!! We’re—
Jade – Ion-sama

Pg. 18

Pg. 19
Van – Excuse me
Aren’t you a bit too extreme with dealing with children?

Luke – VAN-SENSEI!!

Tear – VAN!!

Pg. 20
Ion – Tear!! It’s not appropriate here!! Please hold it back for now
Tear – Ye- . . . Yes sir. I’m sorry

Van – These people are my company
Officer – Hmm . . .
Ion – And here is our one
Van – Their passports are also included in here. This should be fine, right?

Officer - !! This passport . . .

We . . . We are terribly sorry for being rude!!
Please pass through!

Luke – Heh, didn’t I already said that?

Pg. 21
So, we are finally back to Kimlasca, right~?

Guy - Even so, the Capital, Batical which is where the Kimlasca Palace and Duke Fabre Manor are is in the middle of the Aberia Continent
From the Rugnica Continent, we still have to cross the sea

Luke - The Rotelro Bridge that I used while coming here also got destroyed
All because of someone who let those Dark Wings escape
Jade – Ah . . . that kind of thing also happened, right?

In Kaitzur, there is a big military port
If we board the ship from there, it shouldn’t take long before we reach Aberia Continent

Pg. 22
Luke – Van-sensei
So you really came

Van – I was searching for you, Luke
The first time out in the outside world must be tough for you, right?

You’ve been trying very hard
That’s my student

Luke – Heh . . .
Hehe!!

Luke – No, it’s not tough at all. I’m perfectly fine
屋敷での修行の成果でまくりってカンジだけどさ！！
あはは参ったな～
With the result from the training at the manor, I feel like there’s no problem at all!!
Ahaha, I totally beat up~
== Not sure. Sorry. - -“
Guy – Hey, hey, Luke. Isn’t that totally different from what you said yesterday?

Pg. 23
Tear – The Six God Generals attack us, intending to take away Ion-sama
They are your direct subordinates, right . . . ?

Isn’t it you who is planning to cause the war?
Answer me . . .

Luke – Huh!? What are you saying?
Sensei would never do that kind of thing, right!?
Ion – Wait, you three

Somehow, it seems like within the Order there are also some misinformation
Shouldn’t we rearrange the information bits by bits first?

Pg. 24
The movement to negotiate the peace this time is completely my individual decision
The Order itself has no relation with this
For that reason, I asked the Malkuth Army for support secretly

The Order right now is probably putting all their effort into trying to find me

Probably also how Van is ordered to search for me . . .
Guy – You mean they are ordered to retrieve Ion-sama from the Malkuth Army?
Van – . . . That’s probably how it is

We finally come to some understanding

Pg. 25
In truth, I didn’t know anything about it
Both of the situation of Ion-sama gone missing, of course, and also of the movement of Six God Generals
-- Fon Master Ion -–
-- Grand Maestro Mohs -–
-- Van –-
-- Six God Generals --
Van - Possibly the order was given directly from Grand Maestro Mohs without getting to me first

Tear – . . . And you’re telling me to believe that?
Then are you saying that you are of no relation to this matter?

Van - If your point is that I don’t thoroughly know of my subordinates’ movement, I can’ say that I’m of no relation
But even though I am the chief of the Six God Generals, I’m not a Grand Maestro

Tear - How can you say such inconsiderate thing!!
Are you planning to put all the suspicions on Mohs-sama and run away from the situation!?
Luke – Hey, Tear!! Enough already!!

Pg. 26
You really distrust your own brother up to that-

Pg. 27
Tear – Luke!!

Pg. 28
Van – Arietta!! Who allowed you to do this!!
Luke – What are you doing? Hey, let me down
Arietta – Commander . . . I’m . . . sorry . . .

If you want this person back . . .
Bring Ion-sama to Coral Castel . . .
If you don’t . . . I will . . . kill this person

Thank you for reading . . .
