The wound indicates...
a single, deadly blade strike. |
| 2 |
|
qst200415_msg0002 |
84 |
No signs of struggle... |
| 3 |
|
qst200415_msg0003 |
84 |
A one-hit kill? |
| 4 |
|
qst200415_msg0004 |
84 |
I doubt she was even aware
of any danger. |
| 5 |
|
qst200415_msg0005 |
84 |
The deed was perpetrated by
a professional killer... |
| 6 |
|
qst200415_msg0006 |
84 |
That's awful...
What was the point in killing her...? |
| 7 |
|
qst200415_msg0007 |
84 |
...You. Scum. How long will you
skulk in the shadows? |
| 8 |
|
qst200415_msg0008 |
84 |
My, my... The Heartless Judge. How
long's it been...twenty-odd years? |
| 9 |
|
qst200415_msg0009 |
84 |
As I live and breathe... |
| 10 |
|
qst200415_msg0010 |
84 |
I wondered which Blade could be giving
a ruthless band of assassins like my
Bloody Lobsters trouble... |
| 11 |
|
qst200415_msg0011 |
84 |
But I never expected that Blade
would be you! |
| 12 |
|
qst200415_msg0012 |
84 |
Causing you trouble?
What are you talking about? |
| 13 |
|
qst200415_msg0013 |
84 |
Ha!
Now you're trying to play dumb? |
| 14 |
|
qst200415_msg0014 |
84 |
You capturing our employers put
paid to our finely-crafted
moneymaking scheme, you know. |
| 15 |
|
qst200415_msg0016 |
84 |
You've made it clear that you wanted
to wash your hands of our enterprise,
damn you! So why come back now? |
| 16 |
|
qst200415_msg0017 |
84 |
Could it be that you actually miss
the killing? Eh, mister Heartless Judge? |
| 17 |
|
qst200415_msg0018 |
84 |
...You claim to know my old self, scum? |
| 18 |
|
qst200415_msg0019 |
84 |
I recognize neither you, nor that
"Heartless Judge" sobriquet you
keep using. |
| 19 |
|
qst200415_msg0020 |
84 |
I stake no claim to the power over
life and death, and I renounce killing.
I am not the Perceval you knew. |
| 20 |
|
qst200415_msg0021 |
84 |
Heheh...
Bwahahaha! |
| 21 |
|
qst200415_msg0022 |
84 |
The man who's killed women and
children without batting an eyelid
now renounces killing? |
| 22 |
|
qst200415_msg0023 |
84 |
Gahahahaha!
The irony is too delicious! |
| 23 |
|
qst200415_msg0024 |
84 |
...I assume this is your handiwork.
Why did you kill the woman? |
| 24 |
|
qst200415_msg0025 |
84 |
...Why? |
| 25 |
|
qst200415_msg0026 |
84 |
I'm getting paid for it.
What other reason do I need? |
| 26 |
|
qst200415_msg0027 |
84 |
Your employers have been caught and
judged, by me. There is no paycheck
waiting for you. Is that not so? |
| 27 |
|
qst200415_msg0028 |
84 |
Hey now, aren't you forgetting
something? |
| 28 |
|
qst200415_msg0029 |
84 |
Whatever the reason, once you enter
a contract, you have to do the deed.
That's the rule, remember? |
| 29 |
|
qst200415_msg0030 |
84 |
Reputation is everything in this world.
Or have you forgotten that too...? |
| 30 |
|
qst200415_msg0031 |
84 |
It's a shame, seeing as you used to be
the one who killed not for pay or glory,
but because you liked it so much. |
| 31 |
|
qst200415_msg0032 |
84 |
Man, people sure can change...
Oh yeah, but you're a Blade, right? |
| 32 |
|
qst200415_msg0033 |
84 |
...Have you said your piece? |
| 33 |
|
qst200415_msg0034 |
84 |
Chill out, Percy.
This was just a warning. |
| 34 |
|
qst200415_msg0035 |
84 |
This is what's gonna happen if you
keep meddling with our work. Got it? |
| 35 |
|
qst200415_msg0036 |
84 |
You'd better keep it in mind,
Perceval the Pacifist. |
| 36 |
|
qst200415_msg0037 |
84 |
What a weirdo... |
| 37 |
|
qst200415_msg0038 |
84 |
Judging by the technique however,
he is a capable swordsman. |
| 38 |
|
qst200415_msg0039 |
84 |
Certainly not a foe to be taken lightly... |
| 39 |
|
qst200415_msg0040 |
84 |
... |
| 40 |
|
qst200415_msg0041 |
84 |
Perceval!
Where're you going?! |
| 41 |
|
qst200415_msg0042 |
84 |
Isn't it obvious...?
I'm giving chase. |
| 42 |
|
qst200415_msg0043 |
84 |
That man cannot remain at large... |
| 43 |
|
qst200415_msg0044 |
84 |
You're gonna avenge Ellenora,
is that it? And alone, again? |
| 44 |
|
qst200415_msg0045 |
84 |
The man's grudge is against me, and
me alone. There is no need for you
to get involved. |
| 45 |
|
qst200415_msg0046 |
84 |
Perceval...
This has ceased to be your problem.
It's our problem now. |
| 46 |
|
qst200415_msg0049 |
84 |
One that we must join forces
in solving. |
| 47 |
|
qst200415_msg0050 |
84 |
That's right, Percy!
Let us give you a hand! |
| 48 |
|
qst200415_msg0051 |
84 |
...Very well. |
| 49 |
|
qst200415_msg0052 |
84 |
Do as you wish, then. |
| 50 |
|
qst200415_msg0053 |
84 |
Great! Now that's settled, we should
find out more about that mook. |
| 51 |
|
qst200415_msg0054 |
84 |
It might make sense to task the
mercenaries with collecting intel
on the Bloody Lobsters. |
| 52 |
|
qst200415_msg0055 |
84 |
If we can predict their next move,
we should be able to stop them with
Perceval's aid... |
