tl by molokidan

3)
1-2: Come out...
3: Why won't it come out?!
4: Are you talking about this?
5: It's too late...
6: Time for you to give up like a good little child.

4)
1: I've had a strange feeling for a while now.
2: Looks like this medicine doesn't work too well either, eh?
3: Diiiie!!
4: Hahah! Look! The Demon Queen, so scared she can't look straight at me!!

5)
1: It's now or never...!!
2: I have to risk it.

Story.23 - Days of Oblivion

7)
1: A sword made out of earth...?
2: Only focused on things in front of your eyes...I see...
3: I'll admit I was surprised. I mean, you grew legs, transformed into a monster, even stole my abilities...
4: But what you were controlling wasn't the heroes,
5: but my ears and eyes.

8)
1: How did you know?
2: I remember you talking about how the medicine didn't work well when you got angry at Lakshri's comment.
3: Heh...I can't believe I made such an error...
4: Good job noticing it. Yes....there was sleeping powder and Rossi's serum in there. I put another drug in there too in case that didn't work.
5: A drug that could control the eyes and the ears...
6: How could you anticipate my attack, then, if you couldn't see?
7: Because I could smell that idiot father's blood from far away.

9)
1: Because of that wound...?
2: With only this much blood...?
3: I see. So being blind concentrated her senses to her nose...?
4: ...heh.
5: You're just like a dog.
6(small): Heheh! Not bad, eh?
7: I guess. I can smell food from 5km away.
8: You're acting proud, but I wasn't complimenting you.
9: Whaaaat?!
10: Where did you go, dammit?!
11(small): You coward!
12: Looks like it isn't very precise. I guess she got lucky back there...

10)
1: If I get too close, though, she could get me again...
2: I guess I shouldn't waste all my time with the idiot, though.
3: Uuu...
4: Mmm?! You just called me an idiot, didn't you?!
5: Dad...
6: I'm grateful to you. You healed me even though I had the same disease as mother did...
7: But once you found out that I got a superhuman ability as a side-effect...
8: You went crazy.
9: Perfect...this is what I was TRULY after...

11)
1: I can use this power to destroy all those incomplete humans...
2: Rossi!!
3: Crow!!
4: It's alright, Graham. She just ran away, she'll be back soon.
5: Graham...?
6: I won't let her get away. She's mine.
7: I won't let anyone else take her.
8: Then, after you lost me, you tried to make many more like me,
9: sacrificing many people.
10: Why do you sacrifice happiness for the "perfection" you seek?
11: All you do is give birth to sorrow, you know?

12)
1: Happiness...? That's what you call happiness?
2: Do you never go hungry like that? Do you always get what you want? No..."Happiness" is just an excuse that the weak use.
3: You've used your power for your own gain, haven't you...? Be honest.
4: You're only happy because you're gifted.
5: I've never, no I WILL never transform.
6: That's the only I way I have to defy you.
7: No, you will.
8: You're helpless against the charm of that power.
9: You will use it to defeat your opponent, end the war,
10: and acquire everything you want.
11: Perfection
12: is everything in this world!!!

13)
1: Since you're a doctor, you should know of the genius doctor Reinhold.
2: What about him?
3: He thought up a way to get rid of my power once the war ends.
4: You lie!! If you do that, then you'll become worthless!!
5: The only reason you deserve to live now is because you're perfect!! Why can't you understand that?!

14)
1: Guuuh
2: Sheila?!
3: Out of the way!!
4: F...fuck you! You're a failure as a father!!!
5: Perfect or not, she's alive, that's all that matters!
6: Why can't you even say something like that to your own child?!
7: Don't you have any sympathy
8: for how miserable Rossi must feel?!

15)
1: Miserable...? I'm the one who made her perfect. She should be overjoyed!
2: Don't get conceited now!!
3: ...what's wrong?!
4: What's this vision...

16)
1: I thought I was blind...?!
2: Why am I seeing an illusion?!
3: Guhh?!
4: Ahhhhhh!
5: Sheila, what's wrong?!
6: She's seeing an illusion, but it isn't like the one before. This time, all the damage she sees happen
7: will also happen to her real body.

17)
1: But you're lucky.
2: You made me angry.
3: So I'll kill you without making you suffer!!
4: Sheila, dodge it!!
5: Can't she hear me? Dammit!

18)
1: ...a

19)
1: Amazing...
2: This is true perfection...
3: Yes. You're the only true perfect one. Compared to you, humans who transform into monsters are utter trash!
4: Your speed and power is unmatched. And besides, sooner or later they become unable to handle their abilities and break.
5: I can't let you get away.
6: I must have the perfection...

20)
1: ...! So you finally understand me now...
2: You're completely unredeemable...
3: G...guahhh
4: Ahhh...
5: Ah...
6: Not even worth killing...

21)
1: ...d
2: Don't go...
3: I'm sorry!
4: You're right!
5: Please don't go...
6: I'll do anything if you just lend me your power. Please don't go...!!!
7: ...But you know I'm right...

22)
1: Why...why can't you understand me?
2: You think Rossi doesn't understand you...? Gimme a break!
3(small): Cough
4: You're the one who isn't trying to understand Rossi...!!

23)
1: Why...
2: Why can't you...
4: Understand...
5: Why...
6: Rossi...
7: Why do things have to be so sad...
8: Everyone has their own varying means of measuring things.

24)
1: Sometimes people can agree on something, but other times they can't.
2: It isn't something that can be fixed...
3: ...are you really fine with that, Rossi...?
: ...mmm.

25)
1: Stupid!! How could you be fine with something like that?!?!
2: You should want to be told by someone that they're happy you're alive!! You should want to be told by someone that you should just be yourself! That you don't need any special "worth!!"
3: I like you, Rossi!!!
4: Angelica, Lakshri, and the hero would all say that!!

26)
1: So please...!!
2: ...Just
3: Just...
4: ...hmm?
5: Just try and bear it for now...
6: ...I'm sorry. I know I can't fix this for you.
7: I know. Thank you...
8: No matter what she looks like, she's the Demon Queen. So I thought I'd have to kill her sooner or later.

27)
1: But I think at some point I realized...
2: Before she's the Demon Queen, she's my friend, who cares about me...
3: ...yes.
4: I know that eventually, the day will come when we can all understand each other...

28)
1: Hey. What does this leaf do?
2: Fig leaves help lower blood pressure, and fruit helps keep your arms and legs from chapping.
3: Hmmm.
4: What about this?!
5: Apricot prevents exhaustion and chills.
6(2b): Chamomile prevents pain and itching, and can be used as a painkiller...it's good for when you get colds. Licorice can be poisonous if administered orally, but make it into a compress and it can relieve back pain.
7: I still think back to those days.
8: Those days were so far from perfect.
9: Why did I start searching for perfection...?
10: ...because

29)
1: I thought it would allow me to protect all that warmth.
2: Warmth...?

30)
1: Ah...
2: Ahhh
3: Ah...
4: I can't believe it...
5: How could that be happiness...?!
6: Ahh...
7: ...ahh...
