Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalités

The continent of Kunaan was ruled by sword and sorcery.

Three powerful countries existed there.

The Kingdom of Saint Amoria, the Kingdom of Ishilfeen,

and the Kingdom of Vanlodis.

They were all equally powerful,

and it was clear that any trouble in one

would immediately start a continent-wide war.

And there was an evil dragon on the continent that all men feared.

His name was Dagan Zot.

He scorched the earth, and brought disaster to the people.

Humanity tried to seal him away, but failed.

This became known as The Disaster at Balbagoa.

Ten years later,

Hiiro, who lost his parents during the Disaster and swore revenge,

was suddenly confronted by Dagan Zot.

Beat, beat, beat.

The beating of your heart is a very pretty sound.

I like it.

Come with me.

That's a bad idea!

She just came out of the mouth of a sand dragon!

And she's got a magic wand!

G-Go where?

To where you are.

To you.

Which means... here?

What are you?

I'm Saraato.

You don't know me?

Of course not!

That's right.

I don't know your name either.

What is your name?

H-Hiiro.

Hiiro. A good name.

Your eyes are like a deep lake, aren't they?

Is it a goddess that sleeps deep within them, or a white horse?

No, perhaps it's a dragon.

Y-Y-Young Master, who is that girl?

I don't know!

She just came out of nowhere!

That's right!

Out of a dragon's mouth, to be specific!

She must be a demihuman or some kind of monster!

No, no!

She doesn't look like a monster.

Hiiro, look.

Pretty little pebbles.

Where did you come from?

From deep within the earth?

Or from the heavens where the stars shine?

What do we do?

It's best not to get involved with those types.

Let's just ignore her.

This is good.

Get that for me.

Right.

If you're not eating it, I'll take it.

I am eating it!

You still thinking about that girl?

I am not.

Liar.

You're spacing out.

You're in love. Just admit it.

I am not!

A bit ago you were all excited to take out that dragon

and avenge your parents, and now you're in love?

I'm going to defeat Dagan Zot! Right now!

I-I don't have time for—

For girls. Right.

I know.

She was just sitting there picking up pebbles.

She looked sad,

like she was all alone.

What? Just leave her.

If she's lonely she can make some friends.

Me and these other guys,

we don't even know who our parents are, or if we've got siblings.

But even if we're not family,

we've survived.

You're the same—

Sorry. Your parents are...

It was before I was old enough to remember.

I don't remember it well.

And now that you're a little more grown up,

you can't stop thinking about this lonely girl.

I said no!

Wipe that stupid smirk off your face.

Sure, sure.

Don't lose your mind just because you met a girl.

He's the one who caused that trouble in the plaza a bit ago.

Any idea where he is?

If you know and don't tell us, you'll pay!

I-I don't know!

Sheesh.

Where'd he go?

Did you really search the entire town?

Forget it.

It'd be faster for me to use my magic to find him.

Mirror, mirror, mirror.

Where's the thing I'm looking for?

What's this?

Huh?

It's not working right.

That's right.

Tell the palace that Dagan Zot has revived.

I've taken the necessary arrangements with all the countries.

Once you start a rumor,

the people's fear of the dragon will do the rest.

The world will fill with terror and they'll seek a way to protect themselves.

As you say.

I want a massive increase in the amount of magic stone production.

But keep an eye on the price increases for weapons and armor.

Too much of a rise and it will make it hard for trade to happen.

Understood.

Doctor Baffaloppa.

The war will be here soon.

All the kings of the three countries will struggle to get the most weapons.

I don't want to miss this chance.

Develop some new product that they'll want.

Something that will attract their attention.

Something more powerful than they've ever seen.

Doctor?

Right.

Are you okay, Saraato?

I found you, Hiiro.

Not, "I found you."

Where did you come from?

So she's the pebble collector?

She's cuter than I thought.

No, no.

How did you find this place anyway?

I can find the things that are important.

Is she just stupid?

She's no mage.

I guess she does have what looks like a wand.

You came to find me?

Where you are is where I am.

What's with this girl?

No clue.

I-I see.

I guess the fight with Dagan Zot's getting postponed.

Shut up!

She was alone in the desert and needed my help.

Of course I have to help her!

Help her?

So what, you're letting her stay here?

One more person shouldn't make too much of a difference, right?

Yeah. Don't worry.

We won't get in your way.

That's not it.

Come this way.

He's a lot more strong-willed than usual.

And he's not even bothering to ask us.

What? Only this much?

We can't buy any weapons with this.

We don't have enough to pay for our journey.

We need to hunt something that pays better.

I'm going hunting again.

Did the young master go to train?

Yeah.
