I've Had Enough Of This World

1 Sinners? We are? Lykos? They've arrived Chakuro.
Forgive me! Oh silence, melodies, you Marked of fleeting lives seijaku yo senritsu yo hakanaki shirushi yo sajou ni kono chi ni ikitsudzuketa no nara So long as you choose to live upon this land above sand Listen to the whale's song from this world bathed in sin tsumi wo matou sekai kara kujira no uta wo kiita Embrace fate, emotions, and do not fear, children unmei wo kanjou wo idaku beki kotachi yo Follow them, follow them, to the future that lies beyond sono saki e sono saki e michibikareta no nara A thousand voices lead to a dream land ikusen no koe kuusou no chi e Turn the rudder and change course kaji wo kitte ikou to shita A thousand voices sing the sand ocean ballad ikusen no koe suna no umi no baraado Help! Someone! Everyone, hurry inside the buildings! Lady Taisha! Hurry! Take shelter in the Scholastic Tower! Did you hear that? Something's wrong.
What's with all the ruckus out here? No clue.
Check it out! What weird clothes.
Think he's one of the island girl's friends? Let's capture him.
Hey, buddy.
Come with us for a sec.
We've got a couple questions about getting to the world outside.
Buki?! Buki! What the hell?! Hey.
What?! Let me out.
Something's wrong up there.
Ow! Sami? The angels of slaughter tore our paradise to shreds with their great talons.
Sami, we have to run.
Just for today, okay? Sami, you're not heavy at all.
You're the same as three years ago.
I'm sorry for teasing you yesterday.
Sami Judgement has finally fallen upon us.
Sami and Chakuro are still in the fields! This is wrong These people aren't just sinners you can wipe out! What the hell is this? The most vital part of the Falaina Sinner Extermination Project is keeping thorough and complete records.
The end of the heretics must be chronicled for our country— no, for all of humanity to use as a guide in the future.
Document with diligence.
Lykos? You mustn't! Wait! I have no choice but to fight.
Even if it means betraying that person.
You two Mister Suou Are you unhurt? Yes, but there are still injured people in the fields.
Mister Suou Mister Suou! You all Suou.
Please listen to me calmly.
Lady Taisha has passed away.
We've received no communication from the Council of Elders.
Why is this happening? Lady Shinono! Bring everyone to the central plaza and ask the Self-Defense Force for protection.
We're dealing with other humans here.
These atrocities must not be allowed to continue! If the Council will do nothing, then I will resolve this through parley! Dammit, who do they think we are?! You won't get away with this! Don't! Aijiro! I-It's no use They're using their thymia to kill people! They're demons! This can't be real! G-Get the hell back! Stay away from us! Nibi.
Ouni! Ouni! Buki and Aijiro are dead! They were killed! Is this what it's like? In the land beyond the sand ocean that we've always yearned for, a gang of masked thugs can crush our dreams in a second.
That's the kind of world it is? Ouni! I've had enough.
That's it I've had enough of this world! Is this everyone? Suou, sir! Ginshu of the Self-Defense Force here! It is our mission to protect the peace of the Mud Whale.
There is nothing for it but to repay them tit-for-tat! One mustn't kill one's enemies.
There will be no end to it if you meet violence with violence.
There is no reason for us to be attacked.
There must be a misunderstanding underlying this situation.
We are going to resolve it.
Lady Taisha surely would have done the same.
Lady Taisha is this for the best? Is this our only option? I don't want to see anything.
Sami, I've done enough, right? I'll keep my eyes closed with you, okay? Then I won't have to see any more bad things.
Chakuro! Chakuro! Where's our brother? You guys Wait! Stop it! Don't do anything to them! I'm beg— N-No! Stop Just stop! He has the same skin color as Lykos.
Big bro! What were you thinking? Chakuro! Chakuro, run! Don't touch Sami! Stay away from her! Halt.
Not her.
We were unaware you were alive.
We received a report that the nous Lykos was wiped out by an attack while en route to exterminate Falaina.
Are there other survivors? Hey, what the hell's going on? This way, please.
We will return you to Skylos.
Let go.
I won't be going back with you.
I see you have lost your mental faculties without the restraint of the nous.
A sad state of affairs for the younger sister of the commander in charge of the extermination.
My brother has nothing to do with it! Has he been looking for me? Did he report my possible death to our parents? Even if I returned to our country, I would be no more than a heartless, nameless puppet! Please wait.
Relay a message to Skylos' Commander Araphne.
Lykos Who Who are you? Answer me.
He looks like he has the same skin color as you.
Hey, hey, hey! Don't get your ass beat, maggot! Lykos No.
32! You're alive! Liontari.
You were onboard Skylos? I was worried when I heard Lykos was obliterated! You lack the heart to feel that.
You got me! Like I had the time to waste worrying! I was deployed to take part in the genocide! I was so, so excited, I couldn't think of anything else! Falaina is the greatest paradise ever! It's just infested with defenseless prey! Just look.
I'm allowed to butcher cute girls like her all I want here.
Don't touch Sami! He's crying This guy's crying! I hardly ever see people who cry.
I want to see more tears.
I want to destroy him.
I want to kill him! Liontari, I won't let you harm him! No.
32, why are you getting in my way? Does that mean I can kill you too? Skylos.
We have secured the nous Lykos.
Withdraw the troops.
Chakuro! Lion, that's all for today.
Let's go.
Hey, what about her? Aren't we taking her with us? No, I'm not going back! As if you'd be allowed not to.
Besides, what would you even do on Falaina? Every single person here is going to die.
Unhand me! Why, you Hey, dumb and dumber! I've got a message! It's Commander-in-Chief Orka's jester.
No.
32 will be left on Falaina.
The Commander is making his sister into a human sample to test the effects of Falaina on the body.
From now on she is to be referred to as Skylos Sample No.
4, ya hear? That's awful! And here the sister he thought was dead turned up alive Hey, Sample No.
4! You've been abandoned by your brother! I'm outta here.
Hey, gimme a lift! I'll be back, Sample No.
4! I can't wait to see how crazy Falaina makes you by the time I return! Sure you have a name.
I saw "Lykos" embroidered into your clothes.
Commander Orka.
Do you recall who I am? I am a friend of your younger sister.
Don't you think it's a bit cruel to use your sister as a guinea pig? I hear you'll be appointed governor of some province if this mission succeeds.
So basically, aren't you sacrificing your sister just to climb the ladder? I am not after political power.
My objective lies elsewhere.
Lady Taisha Ouni! H-Hey, what happened to your clothes? I need medicine.
That blood Are you hurt? The medicine is for my friends.
In seven days they'll be coming back.
Their goal this time was only to collect the ship we found the girl on.
It seems a true attack on the Mud Whale is next.
H-How do you even know that? I forced them to tell me.
F-Forced? I kept two alive, and then killed them after.
You They were both the same age as us.
Why did you hit him?! Torture is unforgivable! He did it for our sakes! Ouni didn't do anything wrong! If Ouni hadn't done it, we'd all be dead in a few days! Ouni's doing all the dirty work for us! That's enough.
Let's go, Kicha.
H-Hold on, wait! Don't just leave! Bring captives to the SDF—no, straight to me! I don't trust anyone but my friends.
The funerals were held the following day.
Crying was forbidden at funerals, but not a single one of us could restrain ourselves.
I had always wanted to extend the lives of the Marked But that was because I knew I wouldn't be able to bear losing Sami or anyone else while I still lived.
I have no words.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't protect Sami It was a cloudless day, and the lights of the sand burials were unforgettably beautiful.
If this world has to be full of such sorrow, and this view was the last thing I ever saw, I wouldn't mind dying right then and there.
Passage 3 I've had enough of this world That's what I thought.
Staring into the dried ocean remains kawaita umi no ato nozonde Imagining a river that may have flowed mada minu taiga wo egaku If my heart had remained imprisoned toraware no kokoro no mama nara I could have lived unaware of this pain konna itami mo shirazu ni ita But then they came speaking of such beauty utsukushii kotoba wo tsugeta hito I rise before the sun wakes to swim beyond the furthest reaches yoake mo matazu ni hate no sono saki wo oyogu We lay awake listening to memories within the song of bugs mushi no uta nemurazu kimi to kiita kioku Just keep holding my hand, I'll accept half-cold purple, travel to faraway lands te wo tada musunde hashitairo demo tooi kuni demo Let's go to embrace this dream born of our short lifetimes mijikai isshou ni umareta yume wo dakishime ni yukou Passage 4 Drown in sand alongside the Mud Whale
