*Flooding into the wound in
my heart comes pain in the dark*
**[00:23] ---**
*That feeling of being connected
as we came together melts away*
**[00:33] ---**
*In the delirium of my unrelenting fever,
I can't even hear the final voice*
**[00:44] ---**
*Don't cry! When I held you tight,
you were trembling*
**[00:55] ---**
*Gently, hold my raised hand*
**[01:03] ---**
*Surely, I've been searching for
the everlasting miracle that is you*
**[01:14] ---**
*Firmly, lay your hand upon me*
**[01:24] ---**
*Ever and never end*
**[01:28] ---**
*You set me free so far away*
**[01:52] ---**
*Arystar Krory I, my grandfather,
was an odd person.*
**[01:58] ---**
*Everything in this castle was collected
by my grandfather while he was alive.*
**[02:04] ---**
*What he treasured and loved the
most were rare and ancient plants.*
**[02:12] ---**
*Maybe because the soil in
this castle was suited to them,*
**[02:15] ---**
*they grew very healthy and huge.*
**[02:18] ---**
*They utter queer sounds every single night,*
**[02:20] ---**
*and on top of that, they attacked
the guests who visited the castle.*
**[02:24] ---**
*Because of that, people rumored that
we were "vampires" before we knew it.*
**[02:31] ---**
Arystar, live the rest of your
life taking care of these flowers.
**[02:38] ---**
You'll stay happy if you never
leave this castle until you die.
**[02:55] ---**
*Grandfather passed away*
**[02:57] ---**
*and I was left alone
among his enormous collection.*
**[03:03] ---**
*I was already called a vampire
and feared by the villagers.*
**[03:07] ---**
*I neither thought of a way
to get out of the castle*
**[03:11] ---**
*nor had the courage to leave the
castle no matter how much I wished.*
**[03:18] ---**
*I kept taking care of the collection
Grandfather left every single day.*
**[03:24] ---**
*And one day, I suddenly realized...*
**[03:29] ---**
*that I was like part
of Grandfather's collection.*
**[03:34] ---**
*I thought, "Everything here
belongs to Grandfather.*
**[03:37] ---**
*Nothing belongs to me.*
**[03:41] ---**
*There's no one in this world
who would recognize and accept me.*
**[03:48] ---**
*There's no one... who would love me..."*
**[03:53] ---**
*However, Eliade was different.*
**[03:56] ---**
*Only Eliade accepted me.*
**[03:59] ---**
*And I, undoubtedly, loved her.*
**[04:06] ---**
The Vampire Whom I Loved
**[04:14] ---**
I wonder if the monks are
destroying Krory by now...
**[04:19] ---**
I thought I saw a huge
pillar of flame earlier.
**[04:22] ---**
What was that? What do you think, Mayor?
**[04:25] ---**
Hmmm...
**[04:26] ---**
Maybe we should ask the
monk at the inn. Hey, Mr. Monk?
**[04:33] ---**
Hm? Mr. Monk?!
**[04:36] ---**
Where'd you go?
**[04:45] ---**
Dammit! We can't get to
where Kro-*chan* is like this!
**[04:49] ---**
Somehow, we have to make it!
**[04:50] ---**
Grow, grow...
**[04:52] ---**
No way!
**[04:55] ---**
Lavi!
**[04:57] ---**
I'm gonna die! I'll be eaten! Help!
**[04:58] ---**
Lavi! Calm down! Do as I say!
**[05:02] ---**
Are you stupid?!
I-If I calm down, I'll be eaten!
**[05:05] ---**
Like I said earlier, I've taken care
**[05:06] ---**
of the same kind of flower as
these when I was with my Master!
**[05:12] ---**
Really?! Then you can stop them?!
**[05:15] ---**
Yes! These flowers don't bite
humans who have affections for them.
**[05:19] ---**
So try expressing your
affections to them with all your heart!
**[05:23] ---**
Express my affections?!
**[05:25] ---**
Tell the flowers you love them!
**[05:27] ---**
Got it!
**[05:29] ---**
I... love... you!
**[05:45] ---**
Very perceptive! You
were right to withdraw.
**[05:50] ---**
These balls are my power.
**[05:53] ---**
Power?
**[05:54] ---**
Can you dodge them all?
**[06:04] ---**
*The flowers... withered?!*
**[06:09] ---**
Here! There're more coming!
**[06:18] ---**
You bastard!
**[06:22] ---**
*This is... water?!*
**[06:24] ---**
*I see...*
**[06:28] ---**
Do these balls make water evaporate
from things in order to disable them?
**[06:34] ---**
That's right. This is my power.
**[06:37] ---**
No creatures can get close to me
when I'm protected by these balls.
**[06:43] ---**
Rubbish...
**[06:45] ---**
Eliade... You sinned deeply
by hurting Grandfather's flowers.
**[06:49] ---**
How arrogant!
**[06:52] ---**
Do you even care about these flowers?
**[06:55] ---**
You keep saying, "Grandfather.
Grandfather."
**[06:57] ---**
You made it all the old geezer's fault!
**[07:00] ---**
You coward!
**[07:02] ---**
Dying in obscurity in this
castle just suits you well!
**[07:08] ---**
Yeah...
**[07:09] ---**
I thought... that I could live
like that if I was with you...
**[07:16] ---**
Eliade...
**[07:19] ---**
*Even though she's an
Akuma, I still love her..*.
**[07:26] ---**
However, I don't wanna
see you in that ugly form!
**[07:31] ---**
I will eliminate you and
leave no traces behind!
**[07:34] ---**
No! If you can come closer, go right ahead!
**[07:38] ---**
I love you! I love you!
I love you! I love you!
**[07:45] ---**
I love you! I love you! I love you!
**[07:49] ---**
Aren't we pathetic?
**[07:50] ---**
I love you! I love you!
I love you! I love you!
**[07:59] ---**
What's going on?!
**[08:00] ---**
Where's Kro-*chan*?!
**[08:02] ---**
Kro-*chan*!
**[08:04] ---**
Don't touch them!
**[08:07] ---**
Dammit! We still can't
get to where Kro-*chan* is!
**[08:43] ---**
Goodbye, Arystar...
**[09:01] ---**
Arystar... There was something
I wanted to do with you...
**[09:10] ---**
But... it's impossible now...
**[09:42] ---**
You were... still able to move...
**[09:53] ---**
I love you! I love you! I love you!
**[10:09] ---**
He is...
**[10:12] ---**
sucking blood...
**[10:18] ---**
*I had a feeling...*
**[10:20] ---**
*that I'd be destroyed by these fangs...*
**[10:38] ---**
*Since long ago, there have been many men
who approached me and called me beautiful.*
**[11:00] ---**
*What I wanted to do all this time*
**[11:03] ---**
*was something that made
human women their most beautiful...*
**[11:09] ---**
*because no matter how much
less pretty they were than I was,*
**[11:12] ---**
*once they did it,
they became dazzlingly beautiful.*
**[11:17] ---**
*But...*
**[11:19] ---**
*no matter how much I wished,
I wasn't able to do it.*
**[11:25] ---**
*Since I'm an Akuma...*
**[11:29] ---**
*I kill the men who approach me*
**[11:34] ---**
*In order for me to do it,*
**[11:36] ---**
*I need a man who won't be killed by me.*
**[11:42] ---**
*What I wanted to do...
was to love someone...*
**[11:48] ---**
*What I needed was a man
whom I could love...*
**[11:53] ---**
*a man who won't be killed by me...*
**[12:12] ---**
*But... that man...*
**[12:15] ---**
*is the one who will destroy me...*
**[12:29] ---**
You know... I...
**[12:34] ---**
I wanted to love you...
**[12:41] ---**
Arystar...
**[12:44] ---**
I wanted to... love you...
**[13:18] ---**
Eliade...
**[13:28] ---**
Ah, it's cold!
**[13:29] ---**
Rain? When we're inside the castle?
**[13:47] ---**
Krory-*san*...
**[13:52] ---**
I wanna die...
**[13:54] ---**
I killed the woman I love...
**[13:59] ---**
I killed the woman I love
with my own hands...
**[14:03] ---**
With... your own hands...
**[14:10] ---**
What a monster have I become...
**[14:14] ---**
I healed my body by sucking
the blood of the woman I love...
**[14:20] ---**
Even when it was going to
destroy her, I made this body...
**[14:25] ---**
A monster like me doesn't
deserve to live...
**[14:41] ---**
If you're in such pain...
**[14:45] ---**
you can become an Exorcist!
**[14:47] ---**
An Exorcist's job is to destroy Akuma!
**[14:50] ---**
You destroyed an Akuma named Eliade today!
**[14:54] ---**
And you can continue to
destroy Akuma from now on.
**[14:58] ---**
That will undoubtedly be the
reason why you destroyed Eliade-*san*!
**[15:03] ---**
If you have a reason, you can live!
**[15:05] ---**
Why don't you live for that reason?!
**[15:13] ---**
You are an apostle of Innocence, too...
**[15:17] ---**
just like we are...
**[15:40] ---**
He, indeed, came to this castle.
**[15:44] ---**
He said that he was Grandfather's friend
who came after hearing of his death,
**[15:47] ---**
and that he came to return
something that was under his care...
**[15:50] ---**
Something under his care?
**[15:52] ---**
Yeah... This is the one...
**[15:54] ---**
Ahh! No doubt about it,
this pot is Rosanne's!
**[15:58] ---**
So you've seen this before?
**[16:00] ---**
Yeah... too much...
**[16:02] ---**
What was planted in it?
**[16:04] ---**
The baby of a carnivorous flower.
**[16:07] ---**
I knew it...
**[16:09] ---**
Allen, 12 years old
**[16:11] ---**
Allen.
**[16:12] ---**
If something happens to Roseanne,
**[16:14] ---**
something 100 times worse
will happen to you. Got that?
**[16:17] ---**
Okay!
**[16:26] ---**
Oh, don't worry.
**[16:28] ---**
He's just remembering his bitter past.
**[16:30] ---**
So, you said he came to
return the flower. Was that all?
**[16:33] ---**
Yeah... but there was
something strange about that flower.
**[16:37] ---**
It suddenly bit me and
then the next moment,
**[16:40] ---**
it rapidly withered away.
**[16:45] ---**
I... I can't breathe...
Could it possibly be...
**[16:48] ---**
a poisonous flower?!
**[16:57] ---**
Th-This is... M-My teeth!
**[17:06] ---**
Now that I come to think of it,
**[17:08] ---**
that might've been the
Innocence you're talking about.
**[17:13] ---**
There's no doubt about it,
**[17:15] ---**
although I don't know how
Innocence came to dwell in that flower...
**[17:20] ---**
Considering that the General
said he came to return it,
**[17:23] ---**
there's a possibility that the Innocence
**[17:25] ---**
was lying in this place
from the beginning...
**[17:29] ---**
Ever since those fangs grew out,
I've come to hunger for blood...
**[17:33] ---**
And then... I met Eliade...
**[17:37] ---**
We're looking for that man right now.
**[17:40] ---**
Do you know anything, Kro-*chan*?
**[17:43] ---**
Now that you mention it,
he said he wanted to go to a far place,
**[17:46] ---**
so he asked me to lend him money,
**[17:47] ---**
being that he was friends
with my grandfather and all.
**[17:50] ---**
*So he did it here, too...*
**[17:57] ---**
Krory...
**[17:57] ---**
Ah, well... I'm fine...
**[18:02] ---**
I have a favor to ask...
**[18:04] ---**
Could you go on ahead and
wait for me outside the castle?
**[18:08] ---**
I'll go get ready for the journey.
**[18:11] ---**
Okay!
**[18:19] ---**
It'll be dawn soon.
**[18:21] ---**
It was kinda a crazy night.
**[18:26] ---**
The only clue we found about
my Master was that he came here.
**[18:30] ---**
I don't know what we came here for...
**[18:36] ---**
Well, we found Kro-*chan*, a new Exorcist,
**[18:39] ---**
so it wasn't a waste of time.
**[18:42] ---**
Yeah...
**[18:46] ---**
Don't look as if you did something wrong.
**[18:50] ---**
It's true that it may not really
be a positive way of living,
**[18:53] ---**
but I think Kro-*chan* needed
a reason to go on for now.
**[18:57] ---**
He'll be able to feel better one day.
**[19:01] ---**
You sure talk elegant...
**[19:03] ---**
Bookman!
**[19:04] ---**
O-Old geezer! When'd you get here?!
**[19:07] ---**
Just now.
**[19:08] ---**
You're such a worrier.
You didn't have to come here now.
**[19:12] ---**
We've just finished
settling this case beautifully.
**[19:19] ---**
That hurt!
**[19:20] ---**
How can you say "beautifully"?!
You busted the place up!
**[19:23] ---**
You didn't need to put holes in the castle!
**[19:27] ---**
We almost got killed, too!
**[19:29] ---**
Don't hit me without
hearing me out, you panda!
**[19:31] ---**
I didn't hit you! I kicked you, you novice!
**[19:34] ---**
Same difference!
**[19:35] ---**
It's not!
**[19:37] ---**
And what have you been
doing all this time?!
**[19:47] ---**
The castle is...
**[19:55] ---**
D... Don't tell me...
**[19:57] ---**
Krory-*san*!
**[20:14] ---**
What's with those faces?
**[20:17] ---**
Did you think I died?
**[20:21] ---**
I'm all right...
**[20:24] ---**
since I will become an Exorcist now...
**[20:30] ---**
Yes!
**[20:33] ---**
*Eliade...*
**[20:35] ---**
*I'll continue to destroy Akuma...*
**[20:40] ---**
*Otherwise...*
**[20:41] ---**
*what reason did I destroy you for?*
**[21:06] ---**
*I'll get it back with my own hands*
**[21:10] ---**
*I can see the light of tomorrow*
**[21:25] ---**
*It seems like you're tired
of playing by yourself*
**[21:33] ---**
*Is the voice in your heart reaching you?*
**[21:41] ---**
*What you hear is the answer*
**[21:49] ---**
*This irrational feeling is
one definite form of pride*
**[21:57] ---**
*As if in a movie I saw long ago,
I can see my future self*
**[22:08] ---**
*I race forth because I want
to become ever stronger*
**[22:15] ---**
*The pride cast aside to
bury that which was lost*
**[22:23] ---**
*I'll get it back with my own hands*
**[22:27] ---**
*I can see the pride of tomorrow*
**[22:36] ---**
