Part 33: Fatima

Chapter 32: Fatima

Welcome back, everyone! Today I'll pick up where we left off, with us entering the forgotten land of Fatima.
Lujei is sad. Lujei thought she had a new friend, but Lujei had to send him away.
Why?
Silly Wally played with fire, silly Wally got burned. He's safe now, but I didn't get to have my fun...
You know, I didn't understand a single word of what you just said.
Yeah, that was all pretty confusing.
Please do shut up and let me continue.
Lujei wants to tell the next part!
Well, it's only thanks to you that we know it, so go ahead.
Yay!

Poor Mister Noir, he's so sad...

Mob: That's a lie! I saw everything!
He turned into a demon!!
That demon killed my sun Crouton and his friends!!
Death to the demon!!
Death to the demon's mother!!
Noir's Mother: Noir... You must escape.
Mother!
Noir's Mother: Remember, Noir...
Just as there are good people and bad people, there are good and bad demons.
You father was a demon, but he was a fine, proud man.
Noir... You must never be ashamed of your powers.
Be a good boy.


Mob:Next is the demon child!
Kill the demon child!!




(But to humans and demons alike I'm a half-blood freak, forever an
outsider.)
(That is why I must create my own utopia, a place with no humans, gods,
or demons...)
(No matter what it takes...)
(Mother...)
(Can you understand why?)



It's so sad...
Yeah, that was pretty rough.
Not that we knew it at the time, but in many ways Noir was just as much a victim in all of this as we. But even if we had known, it wouldn't have changed what we needed to do. For his vision to come to pass, the world as we knew it would need to be undone.




Your brother's really stupid.
Laharl!
What? That wall guy already told you that the Dark Prince was the one that destroyed this place. So you hardly need to find out if he was involved.
Yeah. Culotte's pretty thick sometimes. Anyway, we arrived at a village after a long search.


Whew! Thank the Goddess! I could really use a drink...




I... I know this village!
Hey Croix! You shouldn't run off by yourself like that.
Croix?
It's nothing... I just ran too fast, I guess...
I guess I'm getting too old for this kind of thing.
Gee, Croix, you sound like an old man!
Villager: What's this? Visitors to our village?
Are you travelers?
That's right.
Villager: I'm jealous. It must be nice to travel with your boyfriend.
B-b-b-boyfriend?!?!
Villager: You mean he's not your boyfriend?
N-n-n-no!!
(Do we look like boyfriend and girlfriend?)



That's ridiculous!
Right, Prier?
R-right.
(He didn't have to deny it that strongly...)
(Hmm...)
(Looks like they've started to notice each other.)
(But judging from this, it'll be a while before they come clean about
their feelings...)
Villager: I'm sorry. My mistake. I didn't mean any offense.
I thought for sure you had come here to get a seed of the fiancailles
flower.
The fiancailles flower?
Villager: You see that flower over there? That's the fiancailles flower.



Villager: It's just an old legend, but...
They say if a couple plants a fiancailles plant together and it blooms...
That they'll live happily ever after. Some couples still come from far
away to do it.
Really... The fiancailles flower...

That's quite a good spot to stop for the day, I think. Next time I'll tell of our harrowing encounter with the enemy in Couscous Village.
Okay, I'm calling something now so that I can look all impressive when I'm right.
Oh?
Yeah, with my clearly superior reasoning skills I have determined the true identity of the Dark Prince and the Maiden of Light!
Oh really. Have you now.
Yes. And they are as follows... Ow!
Oh no, you're not spoiling my story. Just keep it to yourself, jerk. Anyway, come back next time for some more Demon Lord fun. Maybe the plot will advance too? Who can say?
