"You say you have been unable to make contact with Number 47?" "For approximately how long?" "Three months, since the Awakened Being hunt in the city of Gonahl." "The mission with Number 4, correct?" "It is also conceivable that she is dead..." "No body has been found." "Number 4, Ophelia, was found dead as an Awakened Being." "Any chance it was Number 47's doing?" "Considering the difference in their strengths," "I imagine the chance of that is close to zero." "Properly speaking, yes." "I believe this Number 47 is a special case, though, having taken in Teresa's flesh and blood." "It was our attempt to preserve strength for perpetuity, through the inheritance of a naturally blessed half-man, half-monster's blood." "But, I was under the impression that we ultimately concluded it was a fantasy." "As far as it went with looking at the Numbers, but there are still some uncertain elements to Number 47." "At any rate, we cannot let things lie without knowing if she is alive or dead." "If she is alive, there is no doubt that she can be found." "Ermita." "Yes." "Assign her to this task." "This gets the highest priority." "The rest can wait." "Understood." "If it's Ermita, I suppose that woman is being sent out." "You're utterly doomed." "What will you do, Number 47, Clare?" "Ah, overcoming many a night" "The frozen dreams, the vanishing tears" "Warm me, warm me, wrap me" "I despise this body that's incapable of love for others" "No matter how far I walk, I see no end" "Taking my memories of the past with me" "What color will I become in time?" "I search for the answer" "Pardon." "Hmm?" "I'm looking for my younger brother." "Have you seen a boy carrying a sword on his back around here?" "No idea..." "We haven't seen him." "I see." "Why don't you go to the city of Hamel up ahead?" "It sees a lot of traffic, so someone may have seen him." "Thank you." "I'll try there." "I hope you find him, mister." "Hey, that was rude!" "That was a woman, wasn't she?" "You dummy." "He's got that huge sword on his back and his voice was deep, too." "He's a man." "Looks like I should deepen my voice a little more." "Elongating my vocal chords..." "Pardon." "I'm looking for my younger brother." "Oh?" "You're searching for your younger brother?" "We got separated during our travels." "That must be most troubling." "This city is big, so you should try looking for him again tomorrow." "I will." "Raki..." "Come in." "Dinner." "Thank you." "You must care an awful lot about him." "Your younger brother." "These days, even if parents or siblings go missing, it's normal to give up on them as a lost cause." "And yet, you're going town to town, looking for him." "You must really..." "I find it strange myself." "N-Nothing." "Well, make yourself at home." "Oh, that's right." "I may as well let you know." "There's a group of Claymores staying in this city right now." "Word is, there's some tremendously powerful Yoma in the Zakol Mountains, which is a short ways from here." "So there's four of them gathered here." "Four of them?" "An Awakened Being?" "So, there you have it." "You should be careful." "Right." "Thank you." "I didn't expect to run into them here." "The medicine that suppresses my Yoma aura has its pros and cons." "I can't be detected by others, but I can also unknowingly end up in towns occupied by my comrades." "But, I can't let the Organization take me back right now." "So, that's them." "If this is an Awakened Being hunt, there should at least be one member ranked in the single digits." "But which one?" "Jean, what is it?" "No, nothing." "Probably just my imagination." "No doubt about it." "She's the one." "Well, good morning." "You're up early." "I thought the morning market might yield a crowd of people." "There might be someone who's seen my little brother." "I see." "Oh, the Claymores I mentioned yesterday..." "It seems they left before sunrise." "It's a real relief." "They may be on the side of the humans, but they're still half Yoma." "If it's an Awakened Being, no matter how fast it goes, it'll take at least a day." "Not having to face them will save me a lot of trouble." "A boy with a sword on his back?" "No idea." "Thanks." "No information." "Raki, where in the world are you?" "Bro, look, look!" "It's Teresa and Clare!" "These two are called Teresa and Clare, you know." "Teresa and Clare?" "It's the name of a twin goddess, beautiful, pure, and full of love." "You were probably named that in the hopes you'd grow up to be like that." "See?" "This one is Clare and this one is Teresa." "Hey, you!" "I'm the one who told you that!" "N-No, you didn't!" "But even the other day, you were explaining it to a strange guy, like you're some know-it-all!" "I wasn't being a know-it-all!" "It was because he kept pressing me, asking which one was Clare!" "I don't know about that." "It's true!" "Right!" "You're lying!" "I'm telling you, it's true!" "Excuse me, little miss." "Could you tell me more about this guy?" "What?" "It's some guy I don't know." "Probably an outsider." "What was he like?" "Did he have a sword on his back?" "He had something long on his back." "Did you ask his name?" "No." "He was all in tatters and covered with wounds." "He was kind of scary!" "But you were talking to him for a long time!" "Like I said, it's because he asked about the Clare statue!" "When I told him about Clare, he looked incredibly happy and he was really interested..." "That's why I stopped being scared of him!" "So..." "So, where did he go?" "I don't know." "This was about ten days ago anyway, and we haven't seen him around, so he's probably left." "I see." "Thank you." "Hey, so do you know that guy?" "Yes, to me, he is..." "I want to help you!" "I know I can't be of any use to you." "But even so, I want to be by your side!" "I don't care if I die!" "I want to be with you always, Clare!" "To me, he is..." "Damn it!" "I'm going to survive, no matter what!" "I'll survive, and once again I'll be with Clare!" "Wh-What the?" "!" "Whoa..." "This is..." "S-Someone..." "Please..." "Please..." "My comrades..." "Hang in there!" "Hey!" "Please... contact the O-Organization..." "Too strong..." "That thing was..." "Is it an Awakened Being?" "Did an Awakened Being do this to you?" "Are you... one of us?" "Please, go save everyone!" "They're all... still... alive!" "There's something..." "messed up about them." "They're up to something." "Please... save everyone..." "Hey!" "I'm sorry, but please take care of the body." "If possible, I hope you won't fear her and give her a human burial." "H-Hey, mister..." "I hardly think you would, but you don't mean to go to the mountains?" "Raki..." "Number 47, Clare, of the Organization." "Heading to reinforce the Awakened Being hunt in the Zakols!" "All right." "Then shall we try adding one more?" "Sixth one!" "That's strange." "I'd think it's about time she started awakening..." "You're so stubborn." "If you don't awaken soon, you'll become full of holes and die like that girl over there." "Are you fine with that?" "You bastard!" "Stop!" "Suppress it, Katea!" "Good, good." "That's the way to go." "Once you awaken, you'll be free of this misery." "Don't give in!" "Do you want to become a monster?" "!" "Who're you calling a monster?" "Don't mock us." "Anyone who mocks us gets killed straight off." "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" "!" "Don't add another one without my say so." "But she..." "Yes!" "Katea..." "Get ready, Dauf." "What is this?" "What are you..." "What do you think, Dauf?" "This one's no good." "She's not strong at all." "I see." "I guess that's about what you get from an Awakened Being who was ranked in the 30s." "Go ahead." "Smash her." "Stop it!" "Katea..." "It just goes to show, it has to be someone ranked in the single digits." "Hurry up and awaken already, Miss Number 9, Jean-san." "You bastard!" "Hey, hold on a second." "Are you alone?" "I'd advise you not to go up into the mountains any further." "There's talk that there's a monster up there." "If you want to get to the other side of the mountains, better go around." "Ordinarily, you guys don't like working as a pack..." "What?" "B-Bastard!" "You're a Claymore?" "!" "She fell for it!" "If we attack your footing and your torso at the same time, you people almost always jump upwards." "Wha?" "You're strangely knowledgeable about how we operate." "And you move in a coordinated manner, which isn't typical behavior." "What are you up to?" "You'll find out way more than you wanted to know soon enough." "Is someone here?" "You're right." "It's too fast for this to be reinforcements called by the girl that ran away." "Or rather, talk about a really tiny Yoma aura." "Feels like a real low ranker." "We won't be able to expect much of her, even if she becomes awakened." "I'll give her to you, Dauf." "You can do what you want with her." "What?" "Really?" "Heart..." "Still, within your memories" "Body..." "You look for the missing me" "Once again today, someone somewhere is shedding tears" "That is what it means to live the fate that smiles coldly" "Holding on tightly to what I can't afford to lose" "I am right here even now" "The flower that never wilts is beautiful" "And with unwavering emotion in my heart, it continued to bloom" "The condemning sky with its ragged clouds" "Held in its embrace the never-ending sorrow" "Born human, die human." "My truth." "Next time, "The Witch's Maw II.""
