Hey, just when are we going to storm the castle exactly?

Just wait a little longer!

We don't know what's going on inside.

For now, we wait until the ladies obtain some information.

It's not like we can only gain information from women!

Horrors appear more often in places like that.

This is part of being a knight.

Then, what's with the mirror?

What are you going to use it for?

This?

Women love getting stuff like this.

Their services tend to change with presents.

That's how it is! Remember it well, Son.

Why don't you take this seriously?! Shitty old man!

Where there is cause, Horrors appear and consume humans.

But since ancient times, there have been hunters of such creatures.

Men donned in armor, the Makai Knights!

You are the one who will bring...

GARO!

GARO!

GARO!

Oh warrior born in burning hellfire

You must bear darkness and hatred on your shoulders

The silent promises you've sworn have become heavy steel

Until the moment you cut off the root of darkness

Something hot chips away and sears though you in this life

If you want it, I'll give it to you

The mark of fire that rises forth

Don't turn back! Cut through!

Until you've broken through the darkness

Your golden fangs are fated by inherited blood

Your soul that has been swallowed by sadness and pain

The only light that will reach the heavens is GARO

What is that boy doing?

It wasn't Prince Alfonso, but a Makai Knight will do just as well.

Kill him!

That damn old man!

A-Are you sure? Honey?

I saw the prince once 17 years ago.

That guest is definitely Prince Alfonso!

According to the royal proclamation, the prince is with a middle-aged knight,

but these two are pretty low-class guests, you know.

They're acting in order to hide his identity.

Those two have been asking around town about the castle.

That's when it came to me!

Is everything okay?

You worry too much!

Why are there Horrors here?!

I see. That's what's going on!

His fighting stance and the fact he's here with a middle-aged knight...

I see.

Kid!

Fear not. Cutting me down won't violate the code of the Makai Knights.

Wh-What?!

What in the world is that ominous aura?!

Shit!

Pathetic. A weakling such as this is the Golden Knight?

Let's end this.

You owe me one, Boy!

León!

What?

Don't move.

This is...

It's all right. I'm just removing the tainted blood.

Come out! Werewolf!

Honey!

We need to run!

What is this?

Are you all right? It's danger—

Hey!

You're a werewolf, too!

No, I'm...

What the hell is this?

No!

W-Werewolf! Werewolf!

No, I'm not a werewolf.

Werewolf!

I'm...

This is...

Oh, you're awake.

Big Bro! Pepe!

Oh. You're awake, Pepe.

What's wrong, Pepe?

No, I'm...

Who am I?

It must be due to the injury. You'll remember soon enough.

Drink this.

What is this?!

You were probably attacked by a werewolf!

Werewolf?

There are werewolves in this town.

They look and live like ordinary people,

but they show their true colors as wolves during the full moon and eat humans.

Wolves...

It's just a legend, though.

Agatha. Pepe wasn't attacked by a wolf.

He just slipped on the bridge and hurt himself.

The Harlequin!

He's come from the Church to pick us up!

Pepe, please go with Agatha.

I'm depending on you.

Where is this place?

It's the almshouse of the Church. Don't you remember?

Over here! Here!

Pick me! Pick me!

Agatha.

Good morning. Who is that?

It's Pepe! He has returned!

Huh?!

My, really! So you've returned, Pepe!

You've grown so much!

I didn't recognize you.

No, I...

Then, Agatha, please come to help me with my work later.

If you do, you may be chosen as one of the members to go to Lograja.

No. Big Brother has returned, so I have no need to leave.

Oh, that's right.

Pepe has returned.

Brother, you came to pick me up right?

I always knew you'd come back to this town to get me one day.

Hey, Brother. Will you marry me?

M-Marry?! N-No. I'm only seventeen and marriage is, um...

Well, I'm going to go and help the sister with her chores.

They've given me lots of responsibilities, you know!

Marriage?!

Wait! You called me Pepe today, didn't you?

Am I really Pepe?

Have you lost your memory?

Yes.

I saved your life.

You ran away due to some circumstances and I asked traveling entertainers

to take you to the almshouse that only the children of Lograja can stay in.

Lograja.

Lograja, I've heard of it before.

We will talk of this again another time. I have work to do.

Old man!

Hey, Princess. Will you come with me?

Harlequin. No, I'm in the middle of work right now.

Then, what about this?

Pepe?

Are you a Makai Priest, old man?

You mixed something in with the medicine, didn't you?

It's called the potion of dreams.

It erases your memory and hypnotizes you into a dream.

Why did you do that to me?

I did it for Agatha.

Agatha?

P-Pepe?

Where are the children?

Th-They are over there.

Wait here, Agatha. I need to greet the head priest.

All right, Brother!

Agatha is the daughter of my close priest friend.

After she gave birth to her, her husband died and she got remarried to a barber.

The barber already had a son named Pepe.

Agatha grew close to Pepe immediately.

But five years ago, a rumor that the barber was a werewolf spread

and both husband and wife were murdered by vigilantes.

The dream I saw... What happened to the children?

The older brother hid Agatha behind the roof and ran out of the house.

His whereabouts have been unknown since then.

There was a rumor that a troupe of traveling entertainers took him away.

Traveling entertainers?

I'm sure he was sold to a slave boat or something.

l took Agatha in and began to live here with her.

Her heart has fallen sick from the shock of her parents' death.

She believes that her brother will come and pick her up one day.

That's why you had me replace the brother?!

I just wanted her to experience a happy dream.

You, too.

Huh?

You came here after losing a battle, right?

Things will become easier if you quit fighting.

l couldn't beat him as I am now,

but there are probably more like him within the castle.

l can't stop just because of something like this.

The stubbornness of a knight, huh? How boring.

Agatha's taking too long to return.

Pepe... The real Pepe...

You guys used traveling entertainers to sell children to slave traders, right?

What are you saying?

We, who serve God, would never do such a thing!

The town of Lograja perished due to an epidemic!

I-I know nothing!

We just passed them on to the travelers.

Where did you take Agatha?!

No!

We can't have that.

Where are you going?

We're going to a very fun place.

See?!

Brother!

Brother?

Pepe, l understand that you may want revenge.

Hey!

Why are you so freaking slow?!

Hey! You bastard!

Hey! What's wrong?

But I feel no pity for the fallen!

I will cut you down!

He's fast! Then...

Agatha. Everyone. It's all right.

W-Werewolf!

León! You were all right.

Dad.

I heard from Ema that you lost to the Dark Knight.

As you are now, I won't lend you my strength.

l know.

What are you planning to do now?

Give me a little time.

Wait! León!

As you can see, due to extenuating circumstances, I'm not wearing any clothes.

l have no money, either. I'm in a lot of trouble.

I'll be waiting!

León.

What's the truth of end of the world?

While there's life, there's pleasure

While there's life, there's hope

The thing that interrupts the will to stand

Is illusion born from smoke

Listen to the bell of regret

Atone for our time lost

With the pain of eternity

and the weight of the burning mark

Survival is also fate

For the hopes inherited by blood

The reason left behind

I will implore the land

Oh the voice that echoes awakens my hesitation

Oh so that the path that has been engraved will not be repeated

What's the truth of ending?

Coming around, going around

What's the truth of avenging?

Toward the empty future
