Rebellion - Epilogue 4

[shivalries]

Season: Autumn

Location: Judgment Stage (Gold)



Tsukasa: ......

Leo: So, tell you what. If you guys win this Judgment, I'll take my leave without a word of complaint.

I'll just go off on another aimless journey, maybe to some faraway country where no one knows who I am.

In the end, you guys were my only regret. I really just wanted to drop by, you know?

But seeing how you're all doing now, I guess there was nothing to worry about... ♪

If you couldn't even win against me, then Knights would be worthless. You'd be nothing more than a walking disgrace, just like I used to be.

So I thought I'd come crush you, break you guys up.

But it doesn't seem like I have the right to do that anymore.

Knights is all yours now. Do what you like with it.

This is your final order from your self-centered, incompetent king.

It's time for a change of hands, and this Judgment is its ritual.

Tsukasa: No, Leader. I must ask you not to say such selfish things.

You've pushed us around this way and that, and all you have to say for yourself is you've made some good memories?

I will not allow you to leave with that self-satisfied smile on your face, as if you've actually accomplished something. There are still plenty of things I want to learn from you.

Weapons and skills, the traditions of us Knights...

I will have you pass those on to me.

I still know nothing about you. However, I am a member of Knights.

Would you deny me the legends of our very own king's heroic feats?

No matter how trivial those tales may be... I have no doubt that they will be our source of pride.

Leo: Hrm... I'm tellin' ya, it's not very interesting. Just some stories of a stupid guy who did some stupid things and then stupidly ran away.

But I guess if you're interested in hearing 'em, I'll tell you.

And well, I'm... also curious about what stories you guys have to tell about the time I've been gone.

Y'see, all of you are like children to me.

Besides, we still don't know how Judgment's gonna turn out yet.

Whatever we say right now is as good as dogs barking their heads off at each other!

It's totally meaningless! Wahahaha! ☆

Let's do something with meaning! We're humans after all, and we were lucky enough to be born into this world...☆

Now then, that's enough opening remarks from us!

Let's get down to it... No, let's have some fun, Newbie. ♪

Tsukasa: Understood, Leader... Now, just to confirm once more, you did say you'll listen to us if we win, yes?

It's far too late to take it all back now, alright?

I am yet but a fledgling knight. I do not think I can win one-on-one against you.

But I will give it my everything. I shall triumph over you, even if I must make a miracle happen.

I refuse to hold back, as a gentleman would. I expect the same courtesy from you.

Now, I ask you to keep your promise. I will not tolerate any disgraceful behavior, such as going back on your word.



If I should emerge victorious... then firstly, I will have you call me not by "Newbie", but by my name.

Let us begin with a self-introduction, o long-awaited King of Knights.

Repeat after me... My name is Tsukasa Suou.

It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. ♪
