Destination Forks: The Real World of Twilight

Hey, brat...

Put that down.

No way!

After four whole days, I finally got this food.

You should all work for what you need.

Don't latch on to a kid!

You're all grown-ups!

Man, talk about pathetic...

Ow!

Says a burglar.

Want me to make it so you never become a pathetic grown-up?

Right here, right now, squirt.

You giant freak!

You look like your brain stunted at three years old.

I'm not gonna say that out loud, though.

You just did, idiot.

Don't get so hung up over the details.

Here.

I don't want to die before I've had a girl, anyway.

Nice.

There's even ale.

The villagers here must've run off in a hurry!

I bet there are valuables, too.

Many thanks to the Kushans!

Is it good?

Yeah, but there's not enough for you.

Oh, yeah?

I scrounged all that food together.

I hope you take the time to enjoy it.

Yeah, yeah. Just go already—

Hey, what's wrong?

Brat, what did you do?!

Oh, this sure is potent.

It was pretty expensive, after all...

My share's over here.

I'm not a fan of being underestimated.

Squirt...

I'm gonna crack your head right open—

Don't call me "squirt."

I have a name, Isidoro.

Don't worry, it's just bee venom.

It won't kill you.

Have a change of heart and live honestly.

You know, it's sad when a kid's lecturing you!

Later.

Hey, what's wrong?

Everyone's passed out.

Shit!

I didn't know there were more.

Calm down... Stay calm...

Think... Think!

What happened?!

Who's this brat?

I was so scared!

It was the Kushans!

What?

The army came and...

N-No, he—

What now?

We have to get out of here.

We don't have time to lose!

Fools...

Hang on, brat.

It doesn't make sense.

I didn't hear any hooves or anything.

And look... None of them have injuries caused by swords.

Now that you mention it...

What's with you, brat?

Why are you unharmed, if Kushans were here?

Huh? Because I'm just a kid...

The Kushans have no mercy, even for kids.

Where'd they go?

Um...

Shit! Shit!

Th-That way!

Hmm?

Tower of Conviction

It's the Kushans!

They're Kushan scouts!

We're surrounded!

Shit, we have to fight!

No way...

They all died in a flash!

That's...

What was that for?

What an unexpected test of my new blade.

He cut up those Kushan monsters with one strike!

Hey, clear the way. I'm in a hurry.

What's with you guys?

No talking my way out of this?

Hey, squirt...

Hey, stay still, with your head down.

You're...

Hey, been a while!

Nice work, as usual, Godo.

Hey, you have food, huh?

And ale, too.

I can smell them, even though they're hidden.

They'll do as a sign of thanks.

No need to hold back.

A-Amazing!

Hey, let's go, Puck.

Okay.

Whoa!

W-Wait...

He's no ordinary guy!

You are certain we can let that man go, Young Master?

It's of no consequence.

The Bakiraka Clan's duty is to scout ahead.

There is no need to take further casualties.

But if we, the Tapasa, combine our strength—

Do not underestimate him.

We may be able to subdue him, yes.

But we will not do so unscathed.

You know of this man, Young Master?

It was in the past...

A very long time ago.

Quickly.

Hurry.

Not another monk...

It was heretics.

There will be even more inquisitions now...

Hey, stop!

Alms...

Alms, I beg of you.

Fools!

These are tributes to the monastery.

You have already received your daily rations.

That soup of vegetable scraps isn't enough!

You guys eat your fill every day, right?

Please have mercy...

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Ah, food!

Alms!

Mercy!

S-Stop!

Catch them all!

Don't let a single one escape!

Crap...

It's the Holy Iron Chain Knights!

P-Please help—

Have mercy!

What is the meaning of this?

Is this what the faithful would do?

Some of us are sick...

We've been living on watery soup for days.

We have no firewood for winter!

We have already requested food, medicine, and other supplies from the Holy See.

You are not the only ones who suffer!

Please...

My child no longer even has the strength to nurse.

He's about to die.

He needs God's protection right away!

What?

Very well.

Because of your bravery, God will show you His mercy.

But, Father Mozgus, that will disrupt order!

Of course I have considered that.

But I believe the fact that I am here

and that she has sinned and has been brought before me

are all part of God's design.

It is said that love knows no fear.

We should respond to her act of pure love, committed without

regard for her own well-being.

Thank you! Thank you!

For now, let us take these people to the monastery.

These men should go there.

Do not worry.

You will see them again later.

Now, you will go this way.

Now, drink...

Good.

The child seems to be stable now.

If he stays nourished and gets some rest,

he'll recover soon.

I'm so glad!

I have sent a message to the Holy See with a request for aid.

I shall also see if we can distribute a portion of the food

from the earlier tributes among the refugees.

Oh, I don't know what to say...

Thank you!

I have merely executed God's will.

Now, come this way, please.

As one of the faithful, you have a duty to perform.

Lady Farnese, I believe this is the first time you've set foot in this room.

You must not look away!

This hellish scene is part of the Holy See you serve.

It is not only benevolence that God bestows upon this world.

He is also a stern judge.

You must not flee!

To save your child, you have sinned.

Your love and bravery should be praised.

However, sin is sin!

Because you are so brave,

I beg you to overcome this ordeal from God Himself!

Surrender yourself to God's grace.

N-No!

Let me go...

I didn't kill any monk!

I'm not a heretic!
