| Eva:
|
Guilty Clown. What is the status of your new trick?
|
| Ban:
|
Master! I’ll definitely make sure to show you it successfully today!
|
| Eva:
|
Hmm… Ban, show unto me your face.
|
| Ban:
|
Eh? Master, why exactly…
|
|
|
[smack]
|
|
|
| Ban:
|
Oww! M-Master!? I wish you wouldn’t hit my forehead all of a sudden!
|
| Eva:
|
The way you always fret and worry so is not good.
|
| Eva:
|
Be as you usually are. Do that, and there will be nothing for me to be angry over… Right, Sammy?
|
| Sammy:
|
Hoot.
|
|
|
| Ban:
|
Eva-sama… Sasami…!
|
| Sammy:
|
Hoo–t!!
|
|
|
[flap, flap]
|
|
|
| Ban:
|
Uwah!? Th-that hurts, Sasami~!
|
| Eva:
|
He is not Sasami, it’s Sammy!
|
| Ban:
|
M-My bad! I’m sorry, so please forgive me!
|
| Eva:
|
Fufu… Well then, Ban, present for me your new trick in the way that most satisfies you!
|
| Eva:
|
I’m anticipating much from you…
|
|
|
| Ban:
|
Master… Roger that!
|
|
|
| Kaoru:
|
Ah~! Found ya, Guilty! It’s gonna be your solo soon~. Hurry, hurry~!
|
| Ban:
|
! I’m comin’ right now!
|
| Ban:
|
Okay then, Master! I’m definitely gonna make this a huge success!
|
| Eva:
|
Heh. …I know that you’re over there, Mio.
|
|
|
| Mio:
|
Of course Master would! To think you’d find out I was hiding so quickly…!
|
| Eva:
|
I am able to see all that there is to the two of you…
|
| Eva:
|
Such as, say, that you were overseeing Ban’s endeavors on perfecting his new trick?
|
|
|
| Mio:
|
!? Th-that’s not true! I was only watching to make sure that he didn’t embarrass you, Master!
|
| Eva:
|
Fufu. You both truly are my adorable servants, aren’t you…
|
| Eva:
|
(Come, Ban. Now is the time to showcase your strength!)
|
|
|
| Ban:
|
(Now’s the time to show them the trick I’ve practiced!)
|
| Ban:
|
(Spin the ball round and round, then throw it up high!)
|
|
|
| Ban:
|
(Turn… and catch the ball I threw up!)
|
| Ban:
|
(Okay, now!)
|
| Ban’s fans:
|
Uwah! Amazing–! Rose petals flew out all of a sudden!
|
| Ban’s fans:
|
So pretty…!
|
| Ban:
|
Silence!
|
|
|
…!
|
|
|
| Ban:
|
These red rose petals are beautiful, yet fleeting; beautiful, but have thorns. Though these petals have been stained red, as if they’ve soaked up fresh blood—
|
| Ban:
|
Which is incredibly beautiful…
|
| Ban:
|
With these sharp claws of mine, I’ll make red blossom forth from all of your white skin!
|
| Ban:
|
And in doing so, you shall all fall as beautifully as these red roses!
|
| Ban:
|
Now, choose! Those of you who wish to be torn apart, come forth.
|
| Ban’s fans:
|
Kyah-! Ban-kuuun! Pick me–!
|
| Ban:
|
Fufu… Who shall become my sacrifice…? It is all for the sake of my master, Elizabeth Bathory![1]
