Elfen Lied (エルフェンリート)

Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam

The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom

Et lingua eius loquetur indicium

And his tongue shall speak judgment

Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation

Quoniam cum probatus fuerit accipient coronam vitae

For when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life

Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison

Lord, fire divine, have mercy

O quam sancta, quam serena

Oh how holy, how serene

Quam benigma, quam amoena

How benign, how pleasant

O castitatis lilium

Oh lily of purity

So this is where you were.

About the disposition of #7, I've reported it to the director.

Okay.

Are you regretting...

Regret is something allowed only to people

who have the right to look back on the past.

Chief...

Receipt

Kohta! Kohta!

Thank you very much for everything.

The dinner was very good.

If I stick around, I'll surely be a bother to you.

Some day I'll definitely return the hospital fee that I borrowed.

I'm sorry for leaving without saying anything.

Mayu.

I found it when I went to wake her up.

I guess she must have some serious reason.

So, what should we do?

I wonder if we could take in Mayu here?

Take her in?!

Nyu?

Nyu!

'Cause we can't leave her like this, right?

You were worried too.

Yeah, and it's dangerous for a girl like that to be by herself.

But it might be tough for us to take her in, after all.

It'd be the best if she went right to her own home.

What're you saying?!

She's running away because she doesn't want to go home, right?!

We gotta find Mayu first.

Now, hurry up and change!

Nyu, we're going out.

I don't really get her, as usual...

Don't do that. This isn't a toy.

Nyu?

She didn't come here today.

Are you acquaintances of hers?

Oh, yes, sort of...

Well, if you manage to see her, there's something I'd like you to give her.

Yes?

He's your new daddy.

Nice to meet you, Mayu.

Good girl.

Hurry up and take off your clothes.

Good girl.

Now, as you always do.

Mom, I can't stand it any more.

I can't stand that person.

Oh, why?

Because when you're out...

You're the one who isn't wanted!

Because you're here...

Because you're here, he's...

What's wrong?

Take it all off.

I...

Huh?

I can't stand this any more!

It's the ocean.

Are you alone too?

Were you abandoned?

You're just like me.

They were nice people.

I wish everybody were nice.

Sorry. I've got you, don't I, Wanta.

James?

James!

Oh good, James! I looked all over for you!

Uhm... Are you the owner?

That's right.

Uhm... Well...

Can I sometimes come to see him?

You're so filthy!

You must be joking!

Now, let's go, James!

I'm really glad that I found you.

I'm happy for you.

You'll be eating a lot of tasty food from now on, right?

I'm happy for you.

Oh, it was my birthday today.

If Wanta was with me, I could've bragged about turning 14.

No, don't cry.

I decided that I would never cry, so...

I'm cold. I'm cold.

What're you doing here?

Uhm... I...

We got a report earlier that there was a girl here.

In any case, come out of there.

Hey, wait a minute! You!

Cut her off!

Yes, sir!

No. I don't wanna go home!

Mayu.

I'm glad! We've been looking for you all this time.

Looking for me?

Why?

Who are you people? Are you this girl's acquaintances?

Yes.

She's family.

Family?

Yes.

We had a little fight.

People in our family have a habit of running away when they get upset.

Now, let's go home!

The police officers looked puzzled, didn't they?

Um, why?

I remembered you were at the beach at night.

Not about that.

Why did you look for me?

Come on, we'll catch cold if we don't hurry up.

But...

I don't know your situation,

but why don't you stay here until you sort out your feelings?

Here?

Because we'll feel more at ease that way too.

It was your birthday today, right?

The baker said she wanted you to have it, even though it was a leftover.

The baker did...

In any case, happy birthday.

Happy Birthday!

What's that?

Oh, because Mayu looked happy when she was eating rice yesterday.

She's being considerate in her own way, huh?

No...

Nyu?

Mayu?

You shouldn't. No.

I'm such a bother to you.

Tears come down even when we're not sad, don't they?

See you later!

Nyu nyu!

I'm glad to see Mayu's cheered up since she started going to school.

How long are you going to be lying down, unwilling to get up?

Oh! I'll get up. I said I'll get up!

Oh, I have to lock the back door.

At least help me lock up, okay?!

But she approved of it very easily, didn't she?

What're you talking about?

I'm talking about Mayu's mother.

I thought she'd put up more of a fight.

I wonder if people normally leave their daughters with total strangers that easily?

It seemed like she didn't report it to the police, either.

I wonder what the deal is?

You're the one who decided that we wouldn't question.

Well, yeah, I know.

Don't add any more girls, okay?

It's not exactly like I'm bringing girls in because I want to!

Come on, we have to go to school. Hurry up and get ready!

Come on! Get up already!

Okay, okay, okay.

Listen, don't ever take that off, okay?

Nyu!

It's not "nyu," is it?

Yes!

Little by little, Nyu's learning words, isn't she?

I'd think that she should at least be calling us by name by now.

Soon, soon.

There's a rumor that the next professor is a real weirdo.

He's got a reputation for calling on people right away.

So if you look like that...

Yes!

It'll be a problem if Nyu gets called on, won't it?

Hey, Yuka...

You're dumber than I thought, aren't you?

What're you talking about all of a sudden?

This school doesn't require applicants to have a high deviation value
