There's a really great view of the
whole village from here, right? |
| 2 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0002 |
84 |
Indeed! It's quite the vista. |
| 3 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0003 |
84 |
Such a fine village it is, too... |
| 4 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0004 |
84 |
Certainly no one is awash with luxury
down there. But still, the people are
remarkably happy. |
| 5 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0005 |
84 |
Even when life is hard, they keep
smiling, keep looking forward. |
| 6 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0006 |
84 |
I think of it as the continuation of
Vandham's spirit. He may be gone, but
his good deeds outlive him. |
| 7 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0007 |
84 |
Yes, it's a fine thought, knowing
the man who built and protected
this village was once my Driver. |
| 8 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0008 |
165 |
What should I say...? |
| 9 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0009 |
164 |
Do you want to hear about Vandham? |
| 10 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0010 |
164 |
Do you wish you could stay here? |
| 11 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0101 |
84 |
Well... It seems a tad rude to
go on about my old Driver in
front of my current one. |
| 12 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0102 |
84 |
But I've heard he was quite
the remarkable man.
Naturally, I'm curious. |
| 13 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0103 |
84 |
He was one of the good guys, all right. |
| 14 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0104 |
84 |
He had big muscles, a big voice,
and an even bigger heart. |
| 15 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0105 |
84 |
It was Vandham who taught me
the basics of being a Driver. |
| 16 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0106 |
84 |
More than that, in fact... |
| 17 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0107 |
84 |
He taught me all about Blades, how to
fight, the way of the world... |
| 18 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0108 |
84 |
I didn't know him for long, but he
taught me the most important things I
know. |
| 19 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0109 |
84 |
Is that right... |
| 20 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0110 |
84 |
He was the kind of solid, powerful
and dashing sort that is irresistible
to the opposite sex, I'll wager. |
| 21 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0111 |
84 |
Erm, I'm not sure if he was that
much of a hit with the ladies.
But he was a great guy, that's for sure. |
| 22 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0112 |
84 |
Hmmm. I feel the loss of my memories
of him very keenly. |
| 23 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0113 |
84 |
Well, don't worry, Roc. |
| 24 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0114 |
84 |
Like I said before. |
| 25 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0115 |
84 |
The people of this village are carrying
on what he started. And so are we. |
| 26 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0116 |
84 |
I hope I can become as good as him
some day. I may still have a way to go... |
| 27 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0117 |
84 |
But just you stick with me, Roc,
and one day, you'll see! |
| 28 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0118 |
84 |
I don't doubt it. |
| 29 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0119 |
84 |
I promise to hold you to the same high
standards, Rex. |
| 30 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0201 |
84 |
I wouldn't say that. |
| 31 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0202 |
84 |
After all, it's not like I have any
memories of my time in this village. |
| 32 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0203 |
84 |
But I believe something lives on here.
Something of Vandham, and of myself. |
| 33 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0204 |
84 |
When I think about it, I can't help
but get a tad sentimental. |
| 34 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0205 |
84 |
Yeah, I know what you mean. |
| 35 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0206 |
84 |
It's like the village is full of memories...
Memories of you, memories of
Vandham. |
| 36 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0207 |
84 |
I wonder how he and I used to spend
our days... |
| 37 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0208 |
84 |
I think...you probably both lived
pretty normal lives, really. |
| 38 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0209 |
84 |
Normal? |
| 39 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0210 |
84 |
That's right. Vandham was the
everyday sort, you know? |
| 40 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0211 |
84 |
I mean, he'd get up in the morning, see
to the kids, then he'd just eat a big
sausage sandwich. |
| 41 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0212 |
84 |
Evenings, he'd drink a beer and chat
about what he was up to. Then he'd
just get a bit sleepy, and go to bed. |
| 42 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0213 |
84 |
I think that's what he was trying to
build here. A place where people
could just...live normal lives. |
| 43 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0214 |
84 |
I think that's what both of you
were always fighting for. |
| 44 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0215 |
84 |
Fighting for a normal life...? |
| 45 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0216 |
84 |
Then perhaps even now, that
normal life is what the people
of this village hold most dear. |
| 46 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0217 |
84 |
Tell me, Rex... Would you say
Vandham was a kind person? |
| 47 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0218 |
84 |
Kind, huh...? |
| 48 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0219 |
84 |
I mean, he was straight up with
everyone. Maybe even blunt sometimes. |
| 49 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0220 |
84 |
But he was a real gentle giant. |
| 50 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0221 |
84 |
He'd probably get mad at me
for saying it, but I think he was
a lot like a father. |
| 51 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0222 |
84 |
He's someone that I looked up to.
Someone I'd like to be like someday. |
| 52 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0223 |
84 |
I can see you hold him in great
regard, Rex. I only wish I could
have met him myself. |
| 53 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0224 |
84 |
He did everything he could to protect
us. I bet he's still watching over us
from somewhere, even now... |
| 54 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0225 |
84 |
Well. In that case, I'd better make
sure he always sees me at my best! |
| 55 |
|
kizunatalk018_msg0226 |
84 |
Yeah... I reckon if we don't live
up to his expectations, we'll be
in for a right rollicking someday! |
