"CLAYMORE" "Episode 09 title sign:" "The Slashers" " I sign:" "The Slashers" " II" "From the moment I first met her, she had very sad eyes." "I let out a scream as I could not bear the sorrow and pain." "H-Hey!" "What the?" "What?" "From the moment I first met Teresa, she had the same sad eyes I did." "Give me..." "Put inside my body Teresa's flesh and blood!" "Hey, wait up!" "You don't have to run away so desperately!" "C-Claymores..." "You're from the town of Toriro, correct?" "What's the situation of the town right now?" "I-In the town, there's..." "Clare." "Aren't these your comrades?" "I see." "The report said there were five Yoma, and you personally took care of four." "But one of them got away, and a woman was almost killed." "What excuse do you have in mind for this?" "It was headed in your direction." "I thought you guys would be able to save her if you didn't waste any time." "The organization told us there was a possibility a Voracious Eater was present and that we should join up with two other members and take care of it together." "Those were the orders." "Unfortunately, they were just normal Yoma." "Don't you mean "fortunately"?" "Were it a Voracious Eater, then you'd be the fallen one right now." "Were you trying to be a hero or something?" "Not in particular." "I just got here early and proceeded to take action; that is all." "No matter." "We will be reporting your disobeying orders to our superiors." "Clare, a Voracious Eater is one that's stronger than a normal Yoma, right?" "Yeah." "You just told me it was going to be normal Yoma!" "You can't be doing reckless things like this!" "I suppose so." "I'll be careful next time." "Geez." "You are just as reckless as ever." "What did you plan on doing if it had been a Voracious Eater?" "Actually, I think you wanted that to be the case, right?" "I appreciate your aspirations, but you should forget about them." "You don't know how these Voracious Eaters are." "I fought one in the Great Cathedral." "That's been just a normal Yoma." "It just needed more food for its mimesis." "The term "Voracious Eater" is just an obfuscation, the more appropriate term we use when talking to the public." "The true meaning denotes "Awakened Beings"." "They are our own mistakes, after all;" "it's better for the world to know of them as Yoma that have lived for too long." "If you were really up against a Voracious Eater..." "an Awakened Being you'd be torn into pieces within seconds..." "If that's all you have to say, then I'll be going back." "Priscilla..." "You want to take Priscilla's head, right?" "Give it up." "You won't be able to defeat her no matter what you do." "Even among Awakened Beings, Priscilla is among the strongest, since she awakened after unleashing her potential, which would have surpassed Teresa's." "We basically don't take any actions against Awakened Beings." "We treat them the same as Yoma." "We leave them alone so long as we don't receive a request to hunt them." "If we received a request to dispatch Priscilla?" "We will put the organization's entire force and Priscilla's powers on a balance and let the elders make a decision." "Don't worry." "Our current number one and number two are quite powerful." "Every era has its heroes." "A pity that you aren't one of them, eh?" "Very well then." "I'll add you to an expedition team that hunts Awakened Beings." "It's a request we received from a town west of here." "It seems like the result of a certain warrior losing it while dying." "Use this chance to measure the limits of your skills as much as you wish." "Teresa..." "The rendezvous is in this town?" "Yeah." "Clare's really going to fight a Voracious Eater this time..." "What's the matter, Raki?" "Ah, sorry!" "Clare... should be fine..." "This way." "You're the last one." "The others are here already." "What?" "You brought a kid with you?" "There's no way he's your kid, so did you pick him up somewhere?" "Don't tell me he's going to fight alongside us?" "He'll be staying in the town." "We'll look for lodging now." "I see." "He must be your toy during your free time." "You're angry because I guessed right?" "What a disgraceful woman." "That's quite an attitude for being the one person late." "We're quite irate since we couldn't move for one whole week." "Great, great." "I'm leaving things to you, Miria." "Wait..." "In this situation..." "Helen, Deneve." "Put away your swords." "Really now, last time you were ahead of everyone, and this time you're late?" "Quite a busy person, I see." "Anyway, now we're all here." "Our target is located south of here, in the mountains of Paburo." "We leave tomorrow morning." "I'd like to know your names and ranks first and if you have any experience hunting Voracious Eaters." "My name is Miria." "I will be the leader of this team." "My number is Six." "This is my seventh time hunting Voracious Eaters." "I'm Helen, my number is Twenty-Two." "I don't have any experience hunting Voracious Eaters." "My name is Deneve," "Number Fifteen." "I've had two experiences." "They had ranks?" "And Clare's..." "Clare." "I have no experience hunting Voracious Eaters." "My number is Forty-Seven." "Huh?" "Did you hear that, Deneve?" "She said she's Number Forty-Seven!" "This is surprising!" "I can't believe I'm able to meet someone like her!" "W-What?" "!" "What's so funny, eh?" "Don't make fun of Clare!" "What, boy?" "You didn't know?" "Let me tell you then." "Listen, we are each placed in a single area on this continent." "Sometimes, there are replacements for casualties, but in principle, one warrior, one area." "And then, our numbers tell how strong a warrior is." "Get it?" "That's right; there are forty-seven areas on this continent." "In other words, her number Forty-Seven means she's the weakest among Claymores." "Clare..." "Clare's the weakest among Claymores." "I'll leave these in your hands." "Use them as you wish while I'm away." "How long will your mission take this time?" "Probably around... one week..." "Then, I'll take just three of them." "They're enough to last me a week." "You'll be back... in one week, right?" "Oww!" "Of course." "Don't worry too much." "It'll be okay." "Trust my words, okay?" "Making us wait again." "Let's move." "Yo, yo, Clare, my girl, you seem quiet." "Don't have your usual spirit without your boy warming up your body?" "Stop." "That's a waste of energy." "You're already inferior to everyone else in that respect, so stay put." "That's right." "That's quite enough, Helen, Deneve." "The four of us are a team." "Quit bickering over little things." "But Miria!" "She's the lowest ranked!" "The lowest number!" "You've got to be kidding me!" "It's rare that a warrior in the thirty-something level is chosen for hunting Voracious Eaters." "And here we have Number Forty-Seven." "What the hell is the organization thinking?" "It's what our superiors have decided." "It's not something we should be second guessing." "All right, all right." "Just make sure you don't slow us down." "We will spend the night here." "We should come into contact with our target by tomorrow." "Got it." "I'm starving." "I'll go get something to eat." "Geez." "People that eat as much as you do are rare, too." "What's wrong with that?" "Want me to fetch your portion, too?" "I'll be fine." "I'll rest here." "Is that so?" "Come with me over there." "It won't take long." "Sorry, but I'll have to ask you to spar with me a bit." "I do want to know everyone's abilities." "Is my ranking of Forty-Seven not enough for you?" "It does bother me that you have the lowest rank." "The impression I had of you when I first met you was as though the strongest was standing before me." "I want to make sure." "Here goes!" "Oh, they're going at it!" "Want some?" "No, thank you." "This is like... wow..." "Yeah, indeed..." "She's amazingly horrible." "I see." "Rest well tonight." "Recover your strength by tomorrow." "Miria, yo." "What are we going to do?" "She can't be counted on as a force!" "Heck, it's a miracle she's survived until now." "It'll essentially be the three of us fighting." "Shall we proceed with our mission?" "I told you." "This is what our superiors have decided." "We just abide by it." "We sure got stuck with a pain in the ass." "Let's go." "She won't affect our battle plans even if she just dies like that." "Teresa..." "Oh, she's alive, she's alive." "So she passed out for a whole night?" "How pathetic." "Get ready." "We're moving out." "We'll be going ahead." "If you want to keep your life, don't come." "You'll do us a favor that way, too." "Been better if she'd stayed." "Hey, do you really plan on having her fight?" "It's like she's going there to die!" "Don't make me repeat myself so many times." "These are orders from our superiors." "Oh?" "Hey!" "Over here, over here!" "I've been waiting for you Claymores!" "Who's that guy?" "I'm from the town of Lido." "We're the ones that sent out the request this time." "I'm really thankful you guys came this early." "I'll take you to the place." "Please follow me." "Miria!" "Miria!" "O-Our information was wrong!" "I heard it was an average Voracious Eater..." "One as..." "One as powerful as this one and we have to fight with this party?" "What the..." "D-Don't be joking..." "A male Awakened Being?" "A deepening suspicion, a deepening threat, the whereabouts of the truth." "Next episode, "The Slashers" " II"."
