Trinity Blood (トリニティ・ブラッド)

I doze with you in front of the mirror, with rouge fingertips

This hand unexpectedly showed weakness and blocked your lips

I made a promise with you that day

And now we can't remember it

Why don't I have wings to float in the sky,

like the wind, like the clouds?

Why don't I have wings to sink into the all-enveloping night,

like the stars, like the moon? Ahh

Armageddon.

A grave mistake made by mankind centuries ago.

With it came a serious price.

From out of the darkness, they appeared.

Mankind, comparing them to old folklore, called them this:

Vampires.

Umm...

Yes?! What can I get for you, Father?!

Milk tea, please. With thirteen lumps of sugar...

Thirteen?!

That should be enough to keep me going until we get to Rome.

Don't tell me you haven't eaten anything?

Nope. It's been nearly 20 hours now...

There's a restaurant onboard, you know!

Maybe so, but I have no money.

Two weeks until my next payday. I have to live on this somehow...

My office did give me the tickets,

but even if I write off all the miscellaneous costs and charges,

I still have nothing left to go on...

So, I'd like a milk tea with thirteen lumps of sugar, please!

Sure! Coming right up!

You're studying to be a pilot?

Yes, sort of...

Someday I'd like to fly a great ship like this myself...

Though that's just a dream within a dream...

Here you are...

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

- No, it's alright. - Was it hot?!

I'm so hopeless...

Father! As an apology, I'll make you some sandwiches!

My treat, of course!

Oh, you're too kind!

This is the bridge. Jessica, some drinks, please.

Certainly, Captain!

Could you wait just a moment, Father?

Of course! Of course! I could wait until the sky comes falling down!

Jessica-san, huh...

Jessica Lang. What's your name, Father?

Abel Nightroad. A traveling priest for the Vatican.

This is the stuff! How I look forward to your coffee, Jessica!

Oh, Captain!

Thank you!

Orson-san, there's an error in the trim angle. Shouldn't you correct it?

Oh, so there is! Good eyes!

Co-pilot! Three months' decreased pay for slacking off on the job!

Aw, man!

I think I'd feel safer having Jessica sit here!

Yes, so would I!

I hope you pass the next test!

Thanks!

A vampire!

What was that you said, you pathetic Terran?

I'll eat you later.

No way! Master code?!

It's out of control?!

Damn, is it really this easy?! What a piece of cake!

That's right!

We're gonna crash this thing right into the crappy Vatican in Rome!

W-what's happened?!

S-stop!

Your face is tempting...

I guess women are the best to drink from!

Umm, Jessica-san, I thought it over

and it's not really right for me to eat for free, so...

Father...

Vatican?!

Jessica-san!

This way!

Y-you're dead! You two are so dead!

Attention, Vatican.

I've just hijacked the cargo-passenger ship, the Tristan,

which left the Albion Kingdom's Londinium for Rome.

Release my Fleurs du Mal comrades you've taken into custody.

You have one hour to comply.

You have no right of refusal.

If you do not release them, I'll crash the Tristan into Rome!

The transmission ends there. Would you like to hear it once more?

No, that is enough.

What do we do, Sister?!

Remain steadfast, Your Holiness!

Yes. But I'm scared!

Information has arrived from the Department of Inquisition.

Alfred, Count of Mainz. Vampire. 67 murders.

Member of the extremist group, Fleurs du Mal.

At present, three of his comrades are in Vatican custody.

It's a declaration of war against the Vatican!

At worst, we will have to consider his demands and negotiate...

Unacceptable, Your Holiness!

The only option is to shoot it down!

Shoot it down?!

Brother!

There is no room for debate!

The Tristan is an Albion ship;

shooting it down would harm our diplomatic relations!

Your Holiness!

Just give the order, and the military is ready to launch

the rocket-propelled bombs that were successfully tested recently!

Rocket-propelled bombs?

Please give your order!

A man of Your Holiness' standing must not negotiate

with the likes of cowardly vampires!

I mustn't?! I guess you're right...

Don't listen to him, Your Holiness!

Happy are those who die in the name of the Lord,

and the Vatican exists to carry out the will of God!

Now do you understand, Your Holiness?! Please give the order!

You really don't care about the hostages?

I'm certain the passengers would also gladly give their lives

for Your Holiness' honor and a victory for mankind!

Whew, that was close!

I went to the bridge because I couldn't accept a free meal, but...

Is this it?

What is this?
