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

This...

Since you've been staring at this...

I just thought that it was a beautiful melody.

Really?

Are they sticking out from your head?

They somehow look like horns.

Am I repulsive to you having things like this sticking out?

I'm just so tired of it all...

Everything...

That's cool!

They're so cool!

Wow... That's amazing!

You have no idea how much hardship I've had because of these.

I don't know what you mean,

but I think... I think they're cool.

It's true. I'm not lying!

Leave me alone.

Hey, be friends with me!

I'm staying at my relative's right now and I'll have to go home soon.

But let's play together till them!

If you have a problem, you can tell me anything.

I'll help you for sure.

You must be joking!

Oh, why?

Because I hate you all.

You all?

Hold on!

My name is Kohta.

I'll be waiting for you here around the same time tomorrow.

So be sure to come!

It's a promise!

Reminiscence

There still haven't been any leads in the children's murder case

Children Murdered

that occurred before dawn today at the children's home,

and the people in the neighborhood are becoming more concerned.

There's also information that a child from the home is still missing,

Children Murdered

and the police are expanding the search area...

I'll be waiting for you here around the same time tomorrow.

I just wanna be here for you.

So a whole family was murdered this time?

I was told that the MO was the same as this one.

This guy's really a bloodthirsty killer.

Even the Prefectural Police Department's in an uproar.

I guess this is no time to search for a missing girl.

Yeah.

What's the matter?

It's started raining.

Shall we go back for now?

Yeah.

I know...

There's no way he's coming.

I just don't have a place to go.

I'll give this to you.

If you don't like those horns, all you need to do is hide them.

Your knee...

When I snuck out of the house, I hit it.

Snuck out?

I hit it when I tried to jump onto a tree from the second floor.

Dad tells me not to go outside.

He said a scary murderer's running around.

The rain isn't stopping.

Hey, why were you here?

For no particular reason.

I see...

What about you?

Why did you wanna...

What is it?

Um... make friends with someone like me?

This...

I like drawing and I went to the mountain to sketch yesterday too.

And then you were there.

You looked lonely somehow.

I don't need your sympathy.

And this...

I love this melody too, so I was very happy to hear that...

It's cold, isn't it?

Yeah.

What're you doing?!

It's warm if we do this.

Otherwise we'll catch a cold.

Thanks for the hat.

Will you play with me again?

Yeah.

Well, then!

Hey, you!

You shouldn't be out playing this late.

You were told by your teacher that there's a curfew, weren't you?

It's dangerous, so go home right away.

Mamiko's stupid!

Shut up, big brother!

Hey, Mom, isn't it time for dinner yet?

Be more patient.

Your dad'll be home soon.

I'm home.

Isn't anybody home?

Honey?

Oh, it's you, Mamiko.

What're you doing with the lights off?

I guess this place'll do for a while.

It's been three days.

I wonder if he won't show up after all.

You've been waiting for me?!

I wasn't really...

I thought I'd be able to see you if I came here.

I came to say goodbye to you today.

I see...

So, let's go play for the whole day today!

Play?

You've never been to a zoo?

Is it fun watching dumb animals?

Yeah, it's fun! There're unusual animals.

I love unusual animals.

...even though you aren't a human.

I'm not interested in dumb animals.

Woah! What's this?

He's big, big, big!

He's somehow very big!

Woah!

It's not like I'm amused by this.

I was just a little surprised, and...

Woah! He's got a long neck! He's got a long neck!

Hey! He's got a long neck!

This is amazing! This is amazing!

This is the first time I've seen someone who's so amused by elephants and giraffes.

Here you go.

I got a big allowance from my dad today, so help yourself.

This tastes good.

But it's a little cold.

That's 'cause it's ice shavings.

Hey, let's go around a little more.

Okay.

What is it?

Around what time are you leaving tomorrow?

I think it'll be at night, because we go back by night train

after going to a festival with my cousin.

I see...

Where shall we go next?

I don't know where since it's so big.

Come to think of it, another brutal murder case happened, didn't it?

This is the third case, right? It's scary, isn't it?

What're the police doing? Honestly...

Already? Shoot!

I'd better kill someone again and find a place to stay.

"Kill"?

Did I say "kill"?

What's with me?

Why do I only think about killing?

It's because you like killing people, isn't it?

No!

Unless you kill them, humans'll kill you some day.

But it can't be a reason for killing even people whom I have nothing to do with.

You should know by now that I was born to destroy humans.

Shut up!

Oh, nothing.

I'm a little tired because it's hot.
