Translated by Elanor Pam (www.fanelorn.net) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Violinist of Hameln 7th movement - The Hero's bloodline ---- It's been a while Great Lute-aniki... They were siblings? Then... Eh? What's it? What the- you... you don't know? That Lute-san is... ---- one of the children, inheritors of the bloodline... of that Great Hero!! And that means Great, his little brother, is also of this same lineage! So that's why he was able to use magical music... Eh? How so? And what about this bloodline thing? It's a legend! But... knowing I'd meet you here... I just couldn't contain myself... Tch, making a huge mess... 20 years ago... there was some fight between Mazoku and humans... ---- The last battle against the powerful Mazoku, with the destiny of humankind hanging on balance... The "Battle of the North" And, playing magical music on his super-special-sized violin... was the hero who led human kind to victory... Hero Hamel!! ---- These are the children who inherited the tremendous "magical power" of that hero And that "blood"! Hero... Hero Hamel... ---- led Humankind... to victory... the hero's... son... Moreover, Lute-san is the captain of the Kuu Crusaders! He's of -that- lineage? Amazing!! Then... when he said Shiseikan Clari was his father's friend... he meant they fought together in the battle they were war buddies... Eh!? What's going on!? ---- Wow!! It went back to new in the blink of an eye!! Even though it was all broken like that!! This is high-level magic!! He's an outrageously powerful person!! Mother is going to be very happy, Great... Maybe even above all else because... You tried to hand over your victory? Eh? You're Shchel-kun, right? ---- Thank you! for taking care of him Even though he's such a contrary guy What did you say!! No... er... I... We weren't taking care of anything!! I'm counting on you from now on as well! This guy isn't good at making friends, so I worry, you know! He's a bother!! HE'S NOT MY FRIEND!! At any rate, what a cute fairy-san!! EH? Oh, my... nooo <3 I'm not... oh~ Don't flatter me <3<3 Gather up! I was asked by a teacher to give you all a tour of the school!! Tch! ---- This school is the pride of the Magical Dukedom of Sforzando That protects the peace and order of the world Here, you study the most advanced classes in magic Wooooooow... In this reference room you'll find exemplars brought from throughout the world of books, ancient documents, research notes, all ready for perusal. There's nothing that can't be found here! You can't even see the ceiling, can you? It's true! ---- In the 1500 years of history that date this school, it has produced as many notorious sorcerors as there are stars in the sky. THAT'S HER MAJESTY, QUEEN HORN!! IS SHE ALSO A GRADUATE FROM HERE!? ---- Here, all non-school-related facilities concerning daily life are gathered, from armor shops and restaurants to hospitals and police offices. ---- Just the number of people who make a living in this area can easily reach 50000. Moreover, it even has its own original laws and autonomy! Certainly, calling it a small country wouldn't be an exaggeration! AMAZING...!! ---- Well, then! I could also get to be a Kuu Crusader if I try my best, right!! We- well, that's true, but... for that sake you'd need a lot of study and practice And if you don't pass this really strict examination... I... WANT TO BECOME ONE!! Hey, hey! Don't you get it? Not everyone can become one!! Kukuku... That's right... Only the one among us who above all else has the greatest power the number one in strength... can become one. ---- But still... I WANT TO BE PART... OF THE MAGICORPS AND... BECOME A GREAT SORCEROR!! Wha What!? Is he an idiot... ---- At any rate, I didn't know you were so incredible, Great! I mean, your older brother is captain of the Kuu Crusaders! And Clari-san is your acquaintance! That's an awesome family line As one would expect from the hero's son... (SLAP) ALL THIS HERO, GREAT MAN, LINEAGE STUFF I'M PESTERED WITH I LOATHE IT ALL!! ---- JUST BECAUSE WE WERE... TOGETHER FOR A WHILE ......... DON'T ACT LIKE I'M YOUR FRIEND... What's up with him! Acting all self-important I should show him what's what! ---- UWAAAAAH! Wha, what happened!? HEY! TAKE A LOOK... AT THE NEXT FLOOR! T-THIS IS... WHAT IN HELL...!? OGOOOH ---- GAAH... This place is nicknamed "the Ark" Here the ancient, extinct magical monster - divine beast - giant beast kinds are recreated It's a breeding - control facility ---- Using referential books and ancient documents as basis, we piled on research and using the essence of our school's prouded Magical Sciences, we revived them The ancient monsters... Amazing!! In this facility, we've been taming them GAAAAAH REVIVE!? TAME!? and studying their mode of life In here, we also fight against them as a school task Ha ha ha... but since only senior level magical students can do that... You freshmen have nothing to do with this room. ---- Eeek! Scary! It's alright! They may be giant beasts, but can't break free, because they're being restrained by powerful chains You can relax That so... (sfx: creak) ---- (sfx: CLANG) EH!? ---- An iron cage... from above!? What the hell? Hey!? NO WAY! WHY DID...!? What the hell is this iron cage! This is the cage we use when fighting the giant beasts... wait a bit! I'll open the lock... in a sec... WHA THE PADLOCK WAS DESTROYED!! Kuh...!! If it's like this, then I'll use magic to... (sfx: shock) Ugh! What the!? The anti-magic safeguards are up!! WHA!! Wha... what do we do now!! Hey!! It's, it's alright! They're tied with chains, so... ---- (two-page spread) GAAAHHH ---- (sfx: loom) (guy in last pannel: nyah)
