Chapter 68 - An Empty Man

2)
1-4: Haah
5: Hoo
6: A little more
7: just a little more
8-9: Haah

3)
1: Hah
2: Haah
3: Damn...why am I doing this?
4: But
5: I know this much.
6: Haah
7: Hoo
8: If I fall, it's over.
9: If I fall,
10: I'll be going there...

4)
1: Guaahhh
2: L-let me go!
3(2b): Please, let me go! I'm sorr...
4: Uaaaaaaahhhh

5)
sfx: aahhhhhhhhh

6)
1: Ahhhhhh
2: Ah...
3(2b): Morning, Thorfinn. You were tossing and turning even more than usual this morning...

7)
1: ...I dreamt...
2: I was falling off a cliff...
3(2b): Oh? So you remember your dream this time?
4: A little...
5(2b): You were, uh, saying stuff like "Askeladd!" and "Father!"
6: Is Askeladd a man's name?
7: Eh!?

8)
1(2b): Why do I forget almost all of my dream?
2: All I know is that it was a frightening one.
3(2b): And that along with that dream...
4: it feels like I'm forgetting something truly vital.

9)
1: Like there's a tiny fish bone stuck in my throat.
2(2b): I'm scared. I want to forget.
3: But it's something important, that I can't forget...
4: What is it...?

10)
sfx: nugahhhhh
bafoo
doryaaaaaahhh
dozuzuzuzu

11)
1(2b): Wow, the wheat ears are already this large. I guess since this land was just cleared, it's really fertile...?
2(2b): Those slaves aren't as bad workers as I thought. No, maybe it's Einar? Ever since he came here, the cultivation has increased rapidly.

12)
1: Aaaand push!!
2: Hoo...trees are lighter in the winter.
3: Yeah, because they're low on moisture.
4: ...something's wrong with the Master.
5(2b): Fieldwork is something a single man should do. Leaving a job like this to slaves...

13)
1: Mmm...well, you,
2: you have a point...
3: Don't I? This isn't a good idea.
4(2b): If slaves end up getting treated the same as servants, the balance of the world will crumble.
5: Right, guys?

14)
1: Askeladd is...
2: the man who killed my father.
3: He was a Dane warrior.
4: A strong, ruthless man.
5: I'm gonna toss it.
6(2b): Ah! O-okay.

15)
1: ...and he appeared in your dream?
2(2b): Well...I don't know. I remember falling off a cliff.
3: I went to the battlefield chasing Askeladd.
4(2b): In order to avenge my father's death. I fought for 10...11 years.
5(2b): I hated him. So much I wanted to kill him.

16)
1(2b):And? Did you avenge your father?
2: ...no.
3(2b): Askeladd was killed by a man other than myself. In front of my eyes...
4: ...oh...
5: Thorfinn, toss me the next bundle.
6(2b): Ah, ahh.

17)
1: Well...
2: I don't know the details, but.
3: I feel like I've figured out why you're so devoid of spirit.
4: It's because you've lost your goal of revenge, right?
5: If you're still seeing it in your dreams, then that means you haven't sorted things out in your heart yet.
6(2b): ..yeah...you're right...that might be it.
7: But...

18)
1(2b): But what?
2: That's not all of it...
3: There's something more...
4: More...I feel like I'm forgetting something more important...
5: Very important...
6: I know that me telling you to become unbound from it won't allow you to do so or anything, but...
7: your revenging is over now, right?
8(2b): Nothing will come from hating dead men. You should forget about it ASAP.

19)
1: Get away!! Thorfinn!!
2(2b): Become a real warrior...Thors'...son...
3: ...I don't...hate him anymore...
4(2b): That's why I'm troubled...

20)
1: Without hatred, I'm...
2: empty.
3: I'm empty.
4(2b): I don't know anything other than war, and I can't do anything else. I have no other desires, either.

21)
1(2b): I don't know the first thing about fixing and rainproofing a roof. I'm a human without contents.
2: If you've got time to flap your lips,
3: then work.
4: Great Master!
5(2b): Hurry up and finish fixing the roof already. That isn't all the work you have to do today.

22)
1: Watch.

23)
1: Ohhh!
2(2b): Go ahead and try it. Catch ones that are worth eating.

24)
1: What the?! It won't spread out right.
2: Put some muscle into it!
3: It's Easter season now, so we can't eat meat.
4: You gonna force this old man to eat nothing but wheat gruel?

25)
1: Oh
2: That looks good?
3: Nope, I didn't even get one.
4(2b): It's like this. Like you're spinning it.
5(2b): And don't keep throwing it in the same place. Change spots while you do it.
6: Yes, sir.

26)
1: Just keep on learning.
2: Little by little...
3: If you're empty, then you can take in anything.
4: If you want to be reborn, then it's in your best interest to become empty.

27)
1: You were listening?
2: I overheard.
3: Can I...be reborn...?
4: Work.
5: Your hands aren't moving.

28)
1(2b): Ooooh, it's cold! So coooooold!
2: It's gonna snow today, I bet.
3: If it stays this cold, today's finishing is gonna be really painful.
4: It's interesting, but it really numbs your hands...

29)
1: I want to redeem myself, though.
2: I mean, yesterday, we only caught three small fish and a bunch of shells between the two of us!
3: Eh, Thorfinn?
4: Huh?
5: O-oh...sorry, I wasn't listening.
6(2b): ...thinking again? About what the Great Master told you yesterday?
7: ...yeah.

30)
1(2b): ...can humans really change? How can they...?
2: Thorfinn, you used to be a warrior, right?
3(2b): Hm? Yeah.
4(2b): Warriors, meaning the...fearless men who pick up their axes, go to war, pillage, and then drink a lot of beer, gahaha-HAAAA!!
5: ...does that about sum them up?
6: Mm...well...
small: I didn't have an axe, though...
7: I guess that's about right...

31)
1(2b): Look at yourself now. There isn't a single person who thinks you're an ex-warrior, you know?
2: ...I wonder?
3: "I wonder"...?
4: Go look at your reflection in the water!
5: I feel glad I didn't meet you when you were a warrior.
6: For starters, I'm sure we wouldn't have become friends.
7(2b): No...forget about that -- if we had met on bad terms,
8: I might have been killed by you.

32)
1: Humans can change.
2(2b): You're probably right in the middle of a good change right now.
3: You...think...?
4(2b): Yeah, probably. Have confidence.
5: ...Thank you...

33)
1: What's wrong, Einar?

34)
1: The wheat...
