Disclaimer : I am not even going to pretend that this is totally accurate
translation. The series does NOT translate very well in English... More of
this depended on
my own judgment call than I would have liked... Sorry about that. Watanabe
uses WAY too
many trail-offs and pauses in his script (Over excessive amount... It's far
worse
than Captain Kirk. I mean, hardly any word bubble goes by without "..."),
and the
presence of gender-neutral sentence patterns made usage of he/she my own
judgment call. Meaning...  I KNOW some of the lines just sound cheesy, but
that's the best
translation I could come up with. Please note this when you are using this
translation.

Pg. 97

The 60th Movement : Sorrowful Waltz

Pg. 98

<<Blank page with faded picture of Flute's trampled Hamel doll>>

Pg. 99

<<Scene of destroyed city, Raiel barely manages to stand, and bleeding
badly>>

Pg. 100

<< Hamel glares with his clawed foot still lodged in the neck of Raiel's
fire bird.>>

Pg.101

Raiel       : (I beg you... Please... Wake up... Ha-chan...)

pg. 102

Raiel       :(If you don't... You'll be... Like THAT time...)

pg. 103

Raiel       :(Like when you were a kid...)

pg. 104

Raiel      :(That time... I was Still too young to realize your
suffering...Your pain... )
Oboe        : RAIEL!!!

pg. 105

Raiel       : (I couldn't help you... I couldn't rescue you... )
<< Hamel now stands over Raiel, claws firmly imbedded in Raiel's chest>>

pg.106

Oboe        : RAIEL!!!
Raiel       : (That's why... I wanted to save you... )
              (Sorry, Hamel... I couldn't stop you...)
Sizer       : Raiel!
Crowd       : Aaaaaah! It's a monster! The castle..!!!
              What happened to the troops?! Get them over here!
Sizer       : (That idiot... He has every right to hold a grudge... Having
his parents killed...
               But even so.. He only thinks of saving Hamel... )
              (Hamel... Even HIS voice is not getting through to you...?)
Orgel       : That's right! Must be so painful... hehehe.

pg.107

Orgel       :He doesn't remember  anything...
              About his friends... About you... For him, there's only Death
and Destruction
              now... hehehe
              Everything's powerless in front of Demon Lord's Flesh and
Blood...
              Thoughts of his dear friend Raiel will never even enter his
head. No way.
              All thoughts are powerless... P O W E R L E S S. No one can
stop him, they'll
              be killed.

Pg. 108

Orgel      :Even if Flute was here... She'd probably be killed.
Sizer       : Dammit...!! Oboe! Can't you do something?! If it goes on like
this, Hamel will... He will...
Oboe        : It's just as what Orgor had said... No one can stop him...
Sizer       : What?
Oboe        : Right now he is fully Mazoku... His mind... his body... He is
a monster that can't stop his killing urges.
Sizer       : But..!!
Oboe        : But I can say this...

 Pg. 109

Oboe      :In reality, he himself is the one who is hurt the most from
this...  He wants to be released from this suffering...
              Being called a Mazoku... Being hated without reason... Being
an ugly monster... It all pains him. He doesn't want people to cast stones
at him! It's him... Who suffers the most from this... As Raiel have said...
His outburst... Looks like he is crying...

Pg.110

<<Toron enters, Everyone looks at him shocked>>

pg.111

Oboe        : To... Toron...
Toron       : Wha... What is THIS?! <<see's Mazoku Hamel>> Ugh! That's
disgusting! A monster! A Mazoku! Ugh!

pg. 112

Toron        :Look, everyone, look at this! It's an ugly monster! It's
Mazoku,look! Ugly monster! Ewwww!!!
                <<Mazoku Hamel turns and repeatedly beats his head against
a stone pillar>>
Oboe        : Daaaa!!! What on EARTH are you saying?!
Toron       : Take that, you piece of #$%#@!! Don't come near me, you
Mazoku! Monster! You scum!
              I'll give you my unconditional hatred! <<Toron spits and
throws stones at Hamel>>
Oboe        : You idiot! THAT's Hamel!
Toron       : Huh?! This is Hamel!!?
              (I... Is THIS..?)
Orgel       : That's correct, THAT is Hamel all right...

pg.113

Orgel          :By the way, nice to meet you, Prince Toron.. I am
Netherworld's Clown, Orgel. Welcome to the show of Death and Destruction.
Hehehe
Toron       : So... YOU're Orgor!!
              You mean to tell me Flute went through that much suffering
because of a "Full Body Tights Guy" like you?!
Orgel       : Uh... Full Body Tigh...?

pg. 114

Oboe        : (Flute?!) No it can't be! Did you say Flute?! What you do you
mean, Toron?!
Toron       : In that Full body tights, all the lines of the body shows
through! Your Penis is REALLY showing up... Your PENIS! Aren't you even
ASHAMED?!
Oboe        : Um... Toron? [Spam : I LOVE Sizer's expression here. ^_^]
Toron       : ... And if you look closely, it REALLY shows up, that Penis!
So that's what you are aiming for, your penis...
Oboe        : SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT! What on EARTH are you saying in times
like this... ?!
              What do you mean, Toron... What happened to Flute...?

[I skipped a panel here... I don't know what to do to make this joke work.
Anyone else wants to take a shot at it, go right ahead. But this just
simply
does not translate.]

pg. 115

Toron       : Before I came here... I met Flute... She had caught a cold...

Oboe        : What?
Toron       : Flute was... Attacked by Wild dogs, but then was about to be
eaten by a bear...Then she was  taken by Vultures. But then unfortunately,
she fell and was drifting down a muddy stream when she was eaten by a giant
fish and was about to be digested when I saved her...
Oboe        : Ha... Ha ha... Is that so... She is as sturdy as ever, I
see..
Toron       : Flute... She was really sad, Hamel...

pg. 116

Toron      :Even as weak as she was, she was thinking of you all the time,
and it hurt her so much. But... If she sees you
like this, she'll get even worse! So please, return to normal, Hamel! To
your normal form! I don't like it, seeing Flute suffer so! Hamel!
Oboe        : Toron...
Toron       : If you are not going to come back on your own...

pg.117

Toron          :<< He wields all three swords at once, (two in his left
hand.^^;;) >>Then I'll bring you back, in the name of my Father and
Mother's swords!
Oboe/Sizer  : What?
Toron          : I... Saw the fallen D.S. with my own eyes. The villages in
ruins, the burnt down castle... I found my Father and Mother's swords
there. And I swore... Even if I am a crybaby, I will not cry any more.
While it is not entirely because of that, I don't want to see everyone cry
anymore. So...

pg. 118

Toron      :I'll fight you until you wake up!
Oboe        : Toron... You've grown quite strong while since I saw you
last. Those three swords.. It's as if you are carrying them on your back.
Toron       : I'm coming, Hamel! Taa----!!

pg. 119

<<Toron tips and falls down>>

Toron       : Gaaaa! I fell down--!! It hurrrts! Oh, no! I've stabbed
myself with the sword!
              Waaa!! help meeee!!! <<Toron notices his Father's sword is
bent>>
              Oh, no! My Father's sword... !! When I was rolling on the
ground...
              <<Toron breaks his Mother's sword>> Oh no! My Mother's
sword--!!

pg.120

Toron      :  Bwaaa.... I wanna go baaack...  Waaaaah
Oboe        : Hey... Weren't you going to bring Hamel back to normal...?
Toron       : But... But... It's hurts SO much!!! I don't wanna do this
anymore---!!
Oboe        : I... guess he really haven't changed.
Sizer       : His Father and Mother are running away from his back...

<<Sudden seriousness... Hamel starts to attack Toron>>


pg. 121

<< Hamel has his claw over Toron's mouth, he smashes Toron against a wall
with one hand.>>

Pg. 122

Oboe/Sizer  : Toron!
Toron       : (This... This is bad... I... )
Oboe        : N... NO! (First, Raiel, and again... )
Toron       : (I am going to get killed... If Hamel stays like this...)


pg. 123

Toron     :(Flute... Don't come here... If you do...)

<<Flute Enters, Hamel turns and sees her>>

pg. 124

<< A great moment-- they lock eyes... both shocked to silence.>>

pg. 125

Flute       : Ha... me...
              (This... Is this... No way... )
<< She notices beaten up Toron and Sizer, and Hamel's Mazoku traits (ie:
horn's, wings, etc.)>>

pg. 126

Orgel       : << appears in back of Flute- whispers into her ear>> Oh, but
it's true, Ms. Flute. That Ugly, deformed, grotesque... Monster itself is
none other than Hamel... Kinda grosses you out, doesn't it?
              That clumsily sprouted three horns... Jet black wings...
Deformed body... All of that, is Hamel.
              So close, too... A few minutes ago, he was a human. But he
won't be coming back to THAT anymore... All in all...

pg. 127

Orgel       : This WAS all your fault... hehehe
Flute       : (Because of me...? Hamel... ) << she starts to cry>>
Hamel       : GAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

pg.128

<<Hamel pulls out one of his horns>>

pg. 129

Everyone    : Huh? Wha... He pulled out his own horn?!

<<Hamel tears out one of his wings, blood everywhere...>>

[ editor's comment: " AHHH!! MY POOR HAMEL!!"]

Hamel       : GYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

 pg. 130

Hamel       : GYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Toron       : Wi... Wing as well?
Sizer       : He ripped it off! What's wrong, Hamel?!
Flute       : (Why... Why is he doing this...?)
Oboe        : (Could it be... that he is...?)
<< Hamel is trying to speak-- but only managing to utter a few syllables>>

pg. 131

Hamel       : D...D...Don't.... Don't come here... Flute...
<< Hamel looks up, his eyes are normal again>>
Toron       : What is it?! What is happening?
Sizer       : What on earth...?

 pg. 132

Raiel       : He doesn't want to show that form...
Sizer/Toron : Raiel!
Raiel       : His Mazoku form... His body that's deformed and ugly... He
doesn't want to show  it... Not to flute. He truly doesn't want Flute to
see it... Ha-chan...
Oboe        : (This is a miracle... Hamel's consciousness is... )
Flute       : (So is that what it is...  To me... At least to me... )

 pg. 133

 Flute         : (I finally realize now... He doesn't want to show that
form of Mazoku... He doesn't want to be driven to madness by the Flesh and
blood of the Demon Lord... By death and destruction... )
              (I understand clearly now. All this time... When you were
putting distance between us... You only wanted to protect me from the Demon
Lord's blood...)

pg. 134
<< Flute and Hamel stand facing eachother>>
Flute        :(Your act of kindness... )

pg. 135

<<Hamel is struck in the back by scores of arrows- his eyes suddenly go
back to being Mazoku>>
Sizer/Toron/Raiel : Wha...?!

pg. 136

Captain (?) : All right! The monster's weakened! Second round! Take aim--!!

Raiel       : You... You IDIOTS! What on EARTH do you think you are doing?!

Toron       : Hey, you people! Stop it!
Troop       : Wha... What is THIS?!
Orgel      : Fu fu fu...

pg. 137

Orgel       :HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
              Oh, isn't THIS a pleasant turn of events... A MASTERPIECE!
              All that effort that went into bring Hamel back, and HUMANS
destroyed the little chance that he was going to return back to human!
There will be no miracle NOW!
              Oh--- What fun! Hehehehe.
Raiel       : DAMN!

pg. 138

Oboe        : No! FLUTE!
<<Everyone watches Flute horror stricken, she continues to stand facing
Hamel, looking calm and smiling.>>

pg. 139

<< Hamel's Mazoku eyes are focused on her, she just smiles with hands
clasped>>
Flute       : (To trust...)

<< Two page spread-- Hamel strikes Flute. Driving his hand through Flute's
chest! >>

pg. 142

<< Everyone gasps in horror. View of Flute's Hamel doll flying through the
air, completely destroyed.>>
