Oh my!
Such a wonderful place! |
| 2 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg002 |
84 |
The lady at the inn sure knows her
stuff! |
| 3 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg003 |
84 |
Yes, indeed...
I must admit, it's a dramatic scene. |
| 4 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg004 |
84 |
Looking at it is like a spur to my
creative energy. |
| 5 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg005 |
84 |
Akhos...
You think you'll write another play? |
| 6 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg006 |
84 |
Perhaps. Gazing out at a vista like this...
It's like a churning sea of possibilities. |
| 7 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg007 |
84 |
I mean, for example... |
| 8 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg008 |
84 |
A story of a woman...who took to the
skies on wings of freedom. |
| 9 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg009 |
84 |
Sounds way interesting!
I wanna hear more! |
| 10 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg010 |
84 |
Akhos! You must write that story!
I can't bear it if you don't! |
| 11 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg011 |
84 |
Obrona... It's easier said than done.
Ideas need to crystallize a little first. |
| 12 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg012 |
84 |
But... Perhaps you could be my
inspiration for this story? |
| 13 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg013 |
84 |
Inspiration? |
| 14 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg014 |
84 |
I mean...because you fly on wings of
freedom. |
| 15 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg015 |
84 |
You're wild and untameable.
And you've already got wings. |
| 16 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg016 |
84 |
Oh... Am I now...? |
| 17 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg017 |
84 |
Why don't you try flying a little
for me now? Right here? |
| 18 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg018 |
84 |
Yes!
Of course! |
| 19 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg019 |
165 |
What should I say to Obrona? |
| 20 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg020 |
164 |
Flying? From here?
Wait, can you actually fly?! |
| 21 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg021 |
164 |
It's true that you're quite the free spirit. |
| 22 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg022 |
165 |
What should I say to Obrona? |
| 23 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg023 |
164 |
Flying? From here?
I didn't think you could fly... |
| 24 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg024 |
164 |
You're my kind of girl, Obrona. Living
your own way. |
| 25 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg025 |
165 |
What shall I say to Obrona? |
| 26 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg026 |
164 |
You're thinking of flying from here?
I didn't even know you could fly. |
| 27 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg027 |
164 |
You're a free spirit, Obrona. I like that. |
| 28 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg028 |
165 |
What should I say to Obrona? |
| 29 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg029 |
164 |
What? You want to fly from here?
You can fly? Way cool. |
| 30 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg030 |
164 |
You don't let reality hold you back.
I guess you're a free spirit like me. |
| 31 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg031 |
84 |
Heh? You really didn't know I could
fly? So very silly! |
| 32 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg032 |
84 |
... |
| 33 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg033 |
84 |
Well, it's not as though she has real
flight, like a bird flapping its wings. |
| 34 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg034 |
84 |
It's more like floating around on the
ether flow. Those wing-like organs
let her manipulate it. |
| 35 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg035 |
84 |
But unlike real flight, it's not affected
by wind or weather, so I can go
wherever I like! |
| 36 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg036 |
84 |
So they really are wings of freedom! |
| 37 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg037 |
84 |
Hey, Obrona, here's an idea...
Why don't you try taking to the
skies with your Driver? |
| 38 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg038 |
84 |
With my Driver?
But, Drivers can't fly! |
| 39 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg039 |
84 |
Can't you bear them up in your arms? |
| 40 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg040 |
84 |
The heroine in my story was going to
soar the heavens with her loyal
companion. |
| 41 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg041 |
84 |
That'd be incredibly dramatic, don't
you think? |
| 42 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg042 |
84 |
Now that you mention it...yes! |
| 43 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg043 |
84 |
If you want to take to the skies on
Obrona Airways, just call me! |
| 44 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg044 |
84 |
Ah...I'm OK for now... |
| 45 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg045 |
84 |
Hmmm...nah... |
| 46 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg046 |
84 |
No, I don't think so. |
| 47 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg047 |
84 |
I laugh in the face of danger! But, no
thanks. |
| 48 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg048 |
84 |
What? No?!
You trembling mouse! |
| 49 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg049 |
84 |
I promise to try not to drop you!
I'm not all that clumsy, you know! |
| 50 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg050 |
84 |
Hey, wait a moment. |
| 51 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg051 |
84 |
That would be even more dramatic.
The heroine drops her friend...
Oh, the pathos! |
| 52 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg052 |
84 |
Yes, the muses have called out to me,
and I've heard! |
| 53 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg053 |
84 |
?! |
| 54 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg054 |
84 |
So, she will drop her friend? |
| 55 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg055 |
84 |
That's right. Her companion will be
dashed on the rocks below, like a bag
of wet rice. |
| 56 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg056 |
84 |
Now come on, Obrona. It's time you
tried taking your Driver for a spin! |
| 57 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg057 |
84 |
Reach the highest peak, then let them
go, into the Cloud Sea below! |
| 58 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg058 |
84 |
OK!
Sounds like a great idea! |
| 59 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg059 |
84 |
Obrona! You'd better be joking! |
| 60 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg060 |
84 |
Hey, not so fast! I wouldn't want to fly
without Dromarch. |
| 61 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg061 |
84 |
There's no way you can hold up me
and furbag here. |
| 62 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg062 |
84 |
Wait a moment! |
| 63 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg063 |
84 |
...I...just remembered something I have
to do. Very urgent imperial business! |
| 64 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg064 |
84 |
W-whoa there! |
| 65 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg065 |
84 |
Wouldn't you rather take Akhos?
I mean, you'd cramp my style. |
| 66 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg066 |
84 |
Come on, this isn't an offer that one
can refuse. I'm writing the ultimate
comedy here. Your help is appreciated. |
| 67 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg067 |
84 |
No doubt about it! I can't miss out on
the chance to be immortalized in one of
your tales, Akhos. |
| 68 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg101 |
84 |
Of course I am!
I'm the very picture of freedom! |
| 69 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg102 |
84 |
Although...sometimes I wonder whether
what I have is actually real freedom. |
| 70 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg103 |
84 |
? |
| 71 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg104 |
84 |
I mean, a Blade always shares
the fate of their Driver, right? |
| 72 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg105 |
84 |
Doesn't that mean we're kind of
tied down by our Drivers? |
| 73 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg106 |
84 |
You can hardly call that freedom. |
| 74 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg107 |
84 |
Obrona, you surprise me. |
| 75 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg108 |
84 |
What? How? |
| 76 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg109 |
84 |
That's awfully insightful. It seems the
genius of my story has inspired you in
turn. |
| 77 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg110 |
84 |
I always thought that you were just
fired by raw, unthinking desires and
whimsical emotion. |
| 78 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg111 |
84 |
Akhos! You're skating on thin ice! |
| 79 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg112 |
84 |
I'm actually very thoughtful...
underneath... |
| 80 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg113 |
84 |
Like, uh...say I've got some of my
favorite Tantalese Porridge here. |
| 81 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg114 |
84 |
And let's say...Rex is about to eat it. |
| 82 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg115 |
84 |
And let's say...Nia is about to eat it. |
| 83 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg116 |
84 |
And let's say...Mòrag is about to eat it. |
| 84 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg117 |
84 |
And let's say...Zeke is about to eat it. |
| 85 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg118 |
84 |
My stomach says, "eat it!"... But my
conscience says, "let my Driver have it." |
| 86 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg119 |
84 |
Real freedom is being able to choose
whether I sit back and let them eat it,
or ask them to let me have some. |
| 87 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg120 |
84 |
And that choice is up to me, Obrona.
So in a way, I'm the Driver of me! |
| 88 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg121 |
84 |
Being able to choose...
that's real freedom! |
| 89 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg122 |
84 |
Yes. You can make choices. And those
choices lead to consequences. |
| 90 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg123 |
84 |
All of that is under your control. |
| 91 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg124 |
84 |
Although... I have to say I can't picture
you making either of those choices. |
| 92 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg125 |
84 |
If I was to bet on it, I'd have said you'd
have punched your Driver and taken
all the grub for yourself. |
| 93 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg126 |
84 |
Would you really consider any
other option? |
| 94 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg127 |
84 |
Eheheh... Realistically, that probably
is what I'd decide to go for... |
| 95 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg128 |
84 |
But in the end, that just means
you're being selfish! |
| 96 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg129 |
84 |
Hang on, doesn't that just mean
you're being selfish?! |
| 97 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg130 |
84 |
But in the end, that simply means
you're being selfish! |
| 98 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg131 |
84 |
Hold it. Doesn't that just mean
you're being selfish?! |
| 99 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg132 |
84 |
W-well... Choosing to be selfish
is a kind of freedom too! |
| 100 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg133 |
84 |
Not being tied down by anything...
Living for myself... |
| 101 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg134 |
84 |
Not doing anything nasty and boring!
Only doing fun things! |
| 102 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg135 |
84 |
That's the sort of life I want! |
| 103 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg136 |
84 |
... |
| 104 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg137 |
84 |
Yes, yes... You're the ideal inspiration
for my free-spirited heroine... |
| 105 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg138 |
84 |
This is going to be the greatest comedy
of all time! |
| 106 |
|
kizunatalk051_msg139 |
84 |
Well, that settles it. I'll keep doing
whatever I want! Otherwise Akhos's
story would be ruined! |
