The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse (七つの大罪 黙示録の四騎士)

Whoa! It's a roc!

Hey, Grandpa! Check it out!

- Look up there! In the sky! The sky! - What is it?

Oh! Haven't seen one of those in a while.

Come on! You gotta catch it before it takes off!

- I don't have anything on me! - All right then.

- I'll be right there. - It's all up to you, Grandpa!

Hmm...

I'm telling you, it's gonna get away if you don't hurry!

Don't rush me.

Here it goes!

Yeah! I got you now!

This is bad!

Percival!

Phew. That was a close one.

Oh.

I'd say this bird is prepped!

Well done, my boy.

You handled that blade like a real professional.

Now dig in and stuff your belly.

Yeah. And make sure to eat your fill as well.

Here I go!

Not too bad, huh, Percival?

So good!

Let's have a round of gouren wrestling!

Very well.

Come at me any way you want.

Here I come!

- -

I got you now!

- -

Oh! Whoa, whoa!

Today's the day I'm finally gonna win!

Huh?

- Whoa! Whoa! Wait! -

- -

Come on, this stinks!

I can't believe I lost you again.

Oh, dear. That was such a close call.

I went all out and didn't even realize it.

Wait. Did you really?

- - Try not to catch a cold.

I'll get the dishes washed down at the spring.

- -

Good gracious.

Feels like not too long ago, he was just a baby.

It certainly is astounding how quickly grandkids grow up.

- -

Not good. Not good!

I can't believe it.

How could I have forgotten?

There you are, Percival!

Huh?

Tomorrow's the big day!

We've got a birthday to celebrate!

Whose is it?

What do you mean, "whose"? It's yours, of course.

How old will I be?

You'll be 16, my boy!

Honestly, who in the world forgets how old they are?

At 16, you're a full-fledged grown-up.

Oh, yeah? Then does that mean

I could finally drink booze with you, Grandpa?

- It's still too soon for that. -

Come on, Grandpa! Spill it already.

What is it that you wanna show me?

Did you get me a present?

Follow me and you'll find out.

Well, son...

Huh?

You're almost 16.

Don't you have any desire to leave the Finger of God

and go out into the wide world for an adventure you'll never forget?

Hmm?

Not really.

- -"Not really"?

Are you sure?

When I turned 16, my spirit of adventure was so strong,

I couldn't leave my hometown fast enough!

So why don't you wanna go?

'Cause every day with you is a blast.

Listen well.

Past the sea of clouds,

you might catch a glimpse of a massive shadow way out there.

Yeah, I know.

You've told me about it before.

It's the island of the winged people, isn't it?

That's the one.

And it's said to have been built by the winged people of the goddess race.

They say it's even floating in the sky.

Incredible, right?

"They say," huh?

So it's a place that you've never seen for yourself?

Well, I don't have wings.

But that's not all!

Below our humble abode, known as the Finger of God,

lies the great land of Britannia,

a magical place where thrilling adventures and mysteries

are just waiting to be discovered!

- Adventures and mysteries? - That's right.

The twisted tower where a mage dwells with a guarded heart.

The knight who guides a Phantom Ship through the skies.

The great cave with countless air holes leading straight to hell.

The lady of the enchanted lake who lures and ensnares heroes.

The tangled forest that's impossible to find your way out of.

There's more too.

Isn't that a little exciting?

- - Hmm?

I'm pretty hungry.

Since we're out here, what do you say we catch some skyfish for dinner?

We sure caught a great one.

It's so fatty.

Good grief.

You're different from your father.

His thirst for adventure was so great that the moment he came of age,

he left home and never looked back.

You're talking about my dead dad?

Uh, never mind that.

Still though, doesn't living in such a remote place

ever make you feel lonely?

No way.

Why is that?

Because you're with me, Grandpa.

Goodness, you're so boring.

Like I said, it's not boring at all.

Oh, forget it.

Grandpa.

Let's spend tomorrow catching a big rock lizard.

I'm talking really big!

"Your eyes see through evil, your mouth speaks only the truth,

your heart is filled with justice, and your sword destroys the wicked."

You say that every time you start drinking.

What is it?

It's just an old creed.

Hmm?

Percival, one day, you too will...

"Destroy the wicked and lend the weak aid."

"And above all else,

defend that which is most dear to you with your life."

- Right? - Hmm?

Just leave it to me.

No matter what, I would do that to protect you, Gramps.

Hmph!

Cheeky pup!

- - I'm not so decrepit

that I need my grandson's protection.

The twisted tower where a mage dwells with a guarded heart.

The knight who guides a Phantom Ship through the skies.

The great cave with countless air holes leading straight to hell.

The lady of the enchanted lake who lures heroes and ensnares them.

The tangled forest that you can never find your way out of.

Oh, wow!

Honestly, the thought of it all

sounds so thrilling and exciting that I can't stay still!

But it's fine.

And that's because... I have Grandpa.

Grandpa?

Hey, I'm over here.

What's that?

I can't hear you very well.

A dream?
