Vinland Saga (ヴィンランド・サガ)

Be careful. He's strong.

Got it.

Wh-What's going on? It's still so early.

He doesn't seem to be here.

There's so much crap, it's hard to tell.

Throw it all out.

What the hell are they doing?

He escaped.

What?

Gardar escaped.

What other reason would they have to search our shed?

Arnheid!

Great Purpose

Wait, Einar!

Stop, Einar!

If Gardar escaped, he'll look for Arnheid again.

What will you accomplish by going to Arnheid?

Will you drive back Gardar?

I don't know, but...

There must be something I can do for Arnheid.

Arnheid!

It's not him.

It's not Gardar. Just two slaves.

What are their names again?

You mean the master's slaves.

Thorfinn and Einar, huh?

Yeah, those guys.

What are they doing here?

What should we do, boss? Should we chase them off?

No, leave them alone. Let them do what they want.

Um, Arnheid...

Yes. You're here about Gardar.

You know?

Yes.

I helped him escape.

I cut the ropes binding him.

Gardar, he... the man watching him....

I thought we'd both be killed, so I...

Then Gardar killed all the other guests who came to see what was happening.

More dead guests...

The situation couldn't be worse.

Einar...

We're being watched by guests.

Kneel next to Arnheid and pretend to wash dishes.

Stay calm, and tell us what's happening.

Gardar was badly injured in the f-fight.

We fled here in the rain, to the old master's house.

But Gardar lost consciousness while I was tending his wounds.

He was too heavy to carry.

I was barely able to hide him.

So Gardar is here.

Yes. The old master helped me.

Snake and his men arrived soon after.

They seem to think Gardar fled and is hiding somewhere.

They're waiting for Gardar to come for me at the house.

Mister Snake and two other men are inside.

Why... Why would you do something so reckless by yourself?

And after you said we'd wait out the storm for the sake of the child inside you.

Why?

Perhaps...

Perhaps I was dreaming.

Dreaming of a life as part of a family with Gardar and the child inside me.

I thought that perhaps he had returned...

I thought he'd returned.

Those eyes that used to be so full of confidence...

They looked so miserable.

We've lived so miserably since we lost Hjalti.

But I still dream...

How are Gardar's injuries? Has the bleeding stopped?

He was bleeding badly from the right side of his chest.

He was still bleeding when I hid him.

Every moment counts.

Arnheid...

Are you prepared to cast your lot with Gardar?

If you want to live with Gardar, then you'll have to flee together.

But you're pregnant.

The road ahead will be difficult.

But if you still want to try,

then I will help you.

It's the only option left.

The only option, huh?

I'll help, too.

Together, we may be able to do something.

Thorfinn...

Ow! What—

Don't sleep.

If you take your eyes off Arnheid again, I'll break your nose.

Y-Yes, boss. Sorry.

Who's there?

I'd like to begin preparing lunch.

Take the tools you need and cook in the yard.

You're the bait. Stay where you'll be seen.

Very well. I understand.

What a pitiful bunch.

Right, Snake?

They say inferior people can't help but become slaves.

That it's where they belong.

But I don't think so.

Slaves were just unlucky. That's all.
