01
-Porthos and Aramis...
-It was an honor to be called one of the Three Musketeers along with you

-...and D'Artagnan
-Although it was only a short while, you were like one of us

-I regret that I didn't have a chance to atone for what I've done...
white: Athos, the only lead to D'Artagnan...

02
-Farewell...
white: Is about to die!!

The 16th Act - The dejected Athos

03
-"Dateiken - Entourent" (Binding Serpent Blade, and entourent is french for "surrounding")

-UNGH!!

-Are you alright?

-...Who...are...you?
-Don't...get in...my way

-W-what?!
-See? I told you to leave him be

04
-This rope's too short to be of any use now

-If you don't mind taking the reigns off the horses, we've got some more right here!
-B-Belmonde!!!

-haa...
-haa....
-There you are...
-Just how many times are you going to keep doing this?!

-Please, get ahold of yourself!!
-Monseigneur Athos!

-A...th...os...?!?

05
-Thank you so much for saving him
-Grimaud(グリモー), stop thanking them

-I'm sure I've heard the name Athos before...
-might you be one of the Three Musketeers?

-...In the flesh
-I'm Athos
-One of the four who are the most well-known out of all the elite imperial guard

06
-Exactly, monseigneur! Please, cheer up!
-Hmph

-He's the only one who might know D'Artagnan's whereabouts
-So why is one of the great Musketeers such as yourself trying to give up his life?

-You want to know?
-Then, as punishment for stopping me,
-you'll have to listen to a drunk fool reminiscing his past

-What should we do? (whisper)
-Let's hear him out at least until we have a grasp of what's going on

-I once had a wife
-She was always a pain in the ass

07
-But on the day she passed away...
-I came to see just how much I loved her

-I started drinking more and more,
-and as a result my hands started shaking

-Athos
-I won't allow you to come on our next mission

08
-Come again?
-That's no way to speak to your elders, kid

-Right, Porthos? Aramis?

-All I see is a man with a death wish

-Oh, is that what this is about?
-You think I'm going to slow you guys down?

-Then I've got a suggestion
-Remember our motto?

09
-All for one
-And one for all?

-This time we'll ignore it. The next time someone falls behind, just leave them there.
-This way, no complaints. Am I right?

-Count me out

-We'd each have to work harder then usual

-How unreasonable...

10
-Looking back,
-I should have been the one to die

-Hey! Just leave me behind!
-I can't go on with these wounds!
-At least you three should be able to get away safe!

-Hey, Aramis. Did Athos say something?
-Dunno. Couldn't hear him

11
-What are you talking about!? Didn't we agree?
-If anyone falls behind, just leave them!
-Ha ha ha, I don't think so

-Athos. The four of us are one
-No one would voluntarily leave behind a part of their body, right?

-Exactly
-When we all get back, we'll have the biggest toast ever!

-Kuh--
-You guys...!!

12
-D'Artagnan! Get back!!

-M-my hand...!!
-At a time like this--!!!

13
-Ngh!!

-D'Artagnan!!

-Damnit!!
-Nooo!!!

-It was a narrow win for the National Army that night
--But the wound D'Artagnan suffered was far worse than anticipated

14
-After that, it was too painful for me to be around them
-I resigned from my position

-Sometime after, there were rumors that D'Artagnan had caught a terrible disease because of the wound
-...and that he didn't have long to live

-What!?
-It's the first I've heard of this. It may be related to why he sought after the Witches' power...

-When I heard this story, he had already quit the service
-I have no clue what happened to Porthas and Aramis

15
-I wounded a close companion...forced him to fall ill...
-And on top of it all, I still haven't given up the habit that's to blame for it

-A man like me...
-Has no right to live anymore...

-D'Artagnan...the four of us are one, right?
-Then...give your suffering to me...

16
-Would you like to see D'Artagnan?

-...of course. Heck, I'm willing to go straight to hell if he was there.

-This may be nothing but a rumor...
-But I heard D'Artagnan was heading somewhere he could obtain the power of the Witches...
-Ring any bells?

-The witches' power?
-I don't know anything about how that's even possible, but...

-If he was truly attempting such a heathenish act
-I'd do everything in my power to stop him

17
-Really...
-Hey Medi, you heard the man
-Looks like he's on our side

-D-don't tell me he plans on taking Athos with us!?
どう転ぶか分からないんだぞ！！
-This could go either way!!

-First, let me just take a quick peek inside your mind
-There might be a clue to where D'Artagnan's headed
-Are you crazy?!

18
-Swirl!?

-Hey. There's no more need to interrogate him
-Looks like he's already made his move

-It may look pretty strange,
-But that thing's the three guys we finished off earlier
-There's only one thing with the power to control the dead...

19
-The 6th Sword, "Samedi"
-ki-ll
-kill...
-...me
-That bastard D'Artagnan...he's gotten his hands on the most dangerous one!

white: The power of Lundi vs Samedi!! The battle between Witches has begun!!

-Aw~ I got all dressed up to meet Athos
-But someone beat me here...

The 16th Act/end
Next time: What fearsome power does "Samedi" hold?!

-end-
