RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

Kardis, goddess of destruction!

The two keys have been brought together!

Soon will come the time for you

to be released from your endless slumber!

Just wait, little doorway...

Spark and the others, meeting up with Parn and the Kanon free army...

...go with them to their hidden fortress.

There, Neese tells Parn about her being the doorway...

...needed for the advent of Kardis.

So, that`s what`s going on...

Such a hardship to bear.

No, this is my destiny.

Wagnard already has two of the keys he needs to resurrect Kardis:

The Staff of Life and the Soul Crystal Ball.

But l`ll sooner die than let him have Neese as well!

We`re counting on you, Spark.

Yes, sir!

l welcome you again, knight in training Spark!

Or do you finally have the formal title of knight?

No, sir. Unfortunately, it`s just the opposite.

l`ve already given up my right to be a knight.

l see...

Well, relax a little.

Yes, sir.

You all look like you`ve had a rough time. Please...

Yes, Miss Deed!

"Yes, ma`am!"

- What was that?! - Oh, nothing.

Um... Sir Parn?

What is it?

Please tell me. What`s the war situation?

We`ve been traveling out on our own and haven`t heard anything.

l see. Not surprising.

Well, you know how King Kashue...

...led the main Flaim army to Alania, don`t you?

Yes, l know about that.

The main Flaim forces engaged the Alanian forces...

...near Novice in a terrible battle...

...and now have them cornered in Alan, the capital of Alania.

King Kashue, not wishing to turn Alan into a battlefield...

...has repeatedly offered terms of surrender...

...to Duke Raster, Alania`s leader.

However, Raster has refused to accept them.

Kashue!

l warned you, didn`t l? lf you didn`t want Alan burned...

lf you didn`t want your citizens caught in the middle of this...

...you had to surrender! And yet, you...!

What the devil is wrong with you?!

How many innocent people have died because of your actions?!

The actions of a king, a man who is supposed to protect those lives?!

Unforgivable!

And thus did Alan fall, as did all of Alania.

With a united front against the Marmo now formed...

...King Kashue ordered his entire force to pursue the enemy.

Meanwhile, learning of the defeat of Alania...

...Holy King Etoh in Valis made the decision...

...to launch an all-out counterattack on the Marmo.

With his power as the high priest...

...the believers in Falis became warriors now unafraid of death...

...as the holy magic was now brought to bear.

King Etoh has declared holy war?!

Yeah. Even Etoh`s gone into this with all his heart.

So now Valis, too, is driving the Marmo back.

Damn the Marmo...!

By the way, Spark, there`s a favor l want to ask of you.

Yes, sir! Anything you want!

Enemy attack!

Whoops! l`M the one you`ll be fighting, guys!

Don`t get careless, Spark!

Right!

What?!

Huh?! There`re even more coming to help them?!

Captain! Captain!

l`m coming!

What the...?! Greevus! Get over here!

There`s 30... No, at least 40 of them!

What do we do, Spark?!

We fight! We can`t run away now!

Well said, Spark! Let`s show them our power!

Right! Let`s go!

They`re back!

Well done. Thanks to you, our ambush was a great success.

No, please, we just...

We stole the Marmo`s supplies. lt`s nothing fancy...

...but operations like these really do the enemy some damage.

Yes, sir!

Even so, it`s time we followed Prince Reona...

...and headed to Rood ourselves.

So we can go after the Marmo ourselves.

Anyway, to give some meaning for all the hard work you`ve done...

...l thought we`d have a quiet victory banquet tonight.

l hope you`ll stay here for it.

Yes, sir. My pleasure!

Well, see you later, then.

Good work, Parn.

Welcome back!

You see? They`re just fine.

Now l can relax.

`Course we`re all right!

Still, looks like you had a really hard battle.

Even the Marmo aren`t idiots.

After all these ambushes, they`re assigning more escorts.

That`s a bad wound!

Huh? Oh, no. This is just a scratch.

This is hardly a scratch! l`ll heal it for you.

Hurry and get it washed out with water, please.

No, really. l`m telling you, it`s all right.

Oh, no, you don`t!

l said l`m fine!

But l`m going to heal it!

Well, why don`t you heal me instead, Neese?

Spark, why don`t l heal you?

You people are totally insensitive!

Why don`t we just get out of their way?

Out of their way? What do you mean?

Never mind, just go.

Lady Neese... Hey!

Come on! You, too, Aldo!

Lemme go!

Um...

Come on. Let`s get that wound washed out.

How`s that?

Looks okay to me.

l`m glad. Really...

Thank you, Neese.

This sort of thing comes naturally to me.

Anyway, l have to help with the banquet.

l have to be getting back, too.

Let`s go, Spark.

Right!

Cooking is hard to do...

Hey! Hey! Neese!

How did it go?

How did it go...? What do you mean?

Oh, still playing dumb, huh?

You managed to be alone with Spark, didn`t you?

You made your confession, didn`t you?

The young maiden`s confession.

Confession?

"Oh, Spark! l`ve always, always loved you!"

"Neese... The truth is l`ve always loved you, too."

"Spark!"

"Neese!"

Leaf! Ryna!

Leaf! Ryna!

lf you`re not going to help, then stop bothering us!

Su-u-ure...

And don`t you stop now, Neese!

Yes, sir.

Captain! Captain!

Hm? What is it?

So, how`d it turn out?

Turn out...? What?

Oh, what else would l mean? Neese, of course! Neese!

Neese?

l just heard it from Leaf. Whew!

Just what l`d expect from my captain!

You`ve stolen the heart of that little priestess girl!

The granddaughter of Neese, one of the Six Heroes, falling for you!

Oh, what a score!

What are you talking about, Garrack?! At a time like this?!

We have to protect that girl, no matter what!

How dare you...!

Aldo? No! lt`s not like that!

Who cares? What`s love got to do with that?

Now, look...!

Love...?!

l`m telling you...!

So, what happened with you and Neese then, Captain?

You saying what l heard from Leaf ain`t the whole truth?

WHAT?!

Would you just lay off?!

Where are Leaf and Ryna?! l`ve got a bone to pick with them!

They said they`d be along in a while.

C`mon, Captain! Try some! This stuff`s good!

No, thanks. l`m fine.

Oh, really?

Spark, when it`s time to eat, you eat!

Yeah, l guess...

Exactly, so let`s get eating!

Well, Spark? Enjoying yourself?

Hm? Yes, sir!

Today, we eat, drink, and make merry!

Captain.

Captain, look at this!

Oh, Miss Deed! Lovely evening, isn`t it?

Where have you been? The banquet`s already begun! Besides that...

Who cares? Girls are supposed to dress up for banquets.

Dress up? You? You don`t look any different to me.

What...?!!!!

l don`t have to dress up to look adorable!

Now, look, Leaf...

Anyway, Captain, take a look!

Ta-daa!

l look funny, don`t l?

Neese looks pretty, RlGHT? lt`s a new look for her.

C`mon, Captain! Give her a compliment!

Lady Neese, you`re lovely!

Not YOU guys! Captain!

You, uh...look nice, Neese.

Thank you, Spark.

Um... Er... Uh...

So, that`s what`s going on.

Come on, Parn. lt`s been ages since we`ve danced.

Huh? Hey, Deed!

Refusing an invitation from a lady, Sir Free Knight?

Guess l have no choice.

lt would be my pleasure, milady.

Aren`t they wonderful?

C`mon, Spark. Don`t just watch. Dance with Neese!

J- Just wait a minute, here! l can`t dance with--

When a girl gets all dressed up...

...it`s a knight`s DUTY to dance with her!

And you should enjoy yourself for once, Neese.

Right...

Shall we go?

Please.

Lady Neese...

What do they want us to do?

l`m really sorry about before. l`m a terrible dancer.

Oh, no. l had... l had a lot of fun.

l`ve never had so much fun... ln my entire life, l think.

ln your entire life?

Ever since l could first think...

...my body has been devoted to the earth goddess.

l don`t think having fun with other people makes Marfa happy.

As a priestess, in my heart, l must never lower my guard.

But before, my heart started pounding.

l`ve never felt that way before.

But it must have angered Marfa, so...

l think you`re wrong about that.

Having fun, being happy, being sad...

That`s all just part of being human.

Even a priestess can`t cut herself off from other people or heartbreak.

l`m sorry. l was out of line.

l don`t know anything about you, Neese.

lt`s all right. Please don`t let it bother you.

The truth is, King Etoh told me the same thing.

That l didn`t have to work myself so hard just because l`m a priestess.

But l`ve had so much fun traveling with you all.

There are times all my restraint seems to vanish.

l don`t mean to push myself too hard...

...but l don`t know how to react to feelings like these.

To be honest, l`m jealous of Leaf and Ryna.

How they`re so honest with themselves...

l hurt so much the way l am.

Come on.

Hey, wait...!

Neese...

Spark, l...

lt`s all right, Neese. When this journey is over...

...l`m sure the pain you feel will go away.

Let`s both believe that.

You insignificant...!

You dare to confuse the Doorway`s heart!

The Doorway must remain pure so she can be offered to Kardis!

Wagnard!

l have come for you, Doorway.

Now, let us go to the dark island.

Let us go to where Kardis dwells!

No! Please, let me go!

"Darkness of blackest pitch, l command you!"

"Become a dark shield and repel the silver!"

Spark!

Spark, run!

Spark!

Come, Doorway. Let us be off to the dark island of Marmo!

Spark! Spark! SPARK!

Neese!

NEESE!!!

Welcome to Lodoss lsland!

And now, what you`ve been waiting for, the second part of the show!

lsn`t the moon pretty?

lt sure is.

Look! A shooting star!

Let`s make a wish on it.

Sure.

What did you wish for?

That`s my secret. And you, Spark?

Th- That`s a secret, too, of course...

Are you okay, Spark?

Oh, this is nothing! l`m a knight in training, remember?

Neese, wh- what l wished for was...

What happens when a knight loses his sword (SOHDO) ?!

Chaos! (OH-SOHDO)

OH-SOHDO! OH-SOHDO!

You`re getting better! l`m happy beyond words!

Bye now!

What do you suppose His Highness wanted?

Maybe he was just in the area and wanted to see you.

All right! l won`t lose THlS chance, now!

l`m not an old man!

Parn, wait up! l`m sorry!

Wait up, Pops!

Shut up! l`m not old!

Why does everything keep getting in the way?!

Here!

Spark...

Thank you.

No problem.

Oh, you`re hurt, aren`t you? l`ll use my magic to heal you.

Let`s go where it`s brighter.

lt... lt`s okay.

Stop that and come on!

l wasn`t able to protect her. Neese...!

Now the Destroyer`s resurrection is just a matter of time.

But Parn, the free knight, continues to calmly make plans...

...for the advance to Rood. What should l do?!

l have to decide! On the first step towards saving Neese!
