- TRACK TWO : TIME COLLISION
- SLAYER: That town was located in New Delhi, by the side of a small lake [<-- not so sure of that, exactly;]
- I am not sure if it is true, but they say it was there from before the Great Wars.
- I visited there about once every five years, for a drink of the special whiskey of that region.
- Why once every five years?
- You see, if I visited the place often, and the people noticed that I did not age, they would come to fear me.
- I would never be able to drink in comfort with a mood like that.
- Yes, it was a very hot day...
- Slayer : It's been a long time.
- Man (Charlie) : Ah, welcome! Is this your first time here?
- Slayer : Why, it's been five years, Charlie. Has Panonika grown a lot? ...It's me, Slayer.
- Charlie: Ah, excuse me! Yes, it's been five years, and you haven't changed at all.
- It's like time has stopped for you. Hey, Panonika, come here and say hello!
- Panonika : Hello! My name is Panonika.
- Slayer : Ohh, you've grown a lot. You maybe not remember me, but I've visted the store once when you were just a baby.
- Panonika : Wow! Then, do you remember my mom?
- Slayer : Yes, yes, of course. She was a very beautiful woman.
- Panonika : Really? Then, after I'm done helping with the store, can you tell me about her?
- Slayer : Yes, of course.
- Panonika : Wow! Promise, okay?
- Charlie : Ah, I'm very sorry about that.
- Slayer : It's no problem... So, she has passed away...
- Charlie : That is... Just before she turned one, she turned ill, and...
- Ah, no, I shouldn't talk about something so gloomy when you've come after such a long time!
- What would you like to drink?
- Slayer : The last time I came, I ordered your hand-make whiskey. I'd like some of that.
- Charlie : That? That's not even a proper drink.
- Slayer : Nonsense. Normal drinks can be bought anywhere, but that has a special aroma unique to this area.
- Give me a double, without ice. Mineral water as the chaser.
- ====================================================
- TRACK THREE : WHERE FATES CROSS PATHS
- Slayer : (monologue) From then, exactly 10 years passed.
- I visited the town once again. It was a ridiculously hot summer day.
- Charlie : Welcome! Oooh, Sir Slayer.
- Slayer : Charlie. You've aged.
- Charlie : Hahaha, I can't stand up to the young men these days.
- But you haven't changed at all.
- Slayer : Not at all, it is just that old men will remain old men no matter how they age, it is nothing to brag about.
- Panonika : Oh, Sir Slayer. You look more like a handsome middle-aged man than an old man, it's impressive.
- Slayer : Nnn, you are...?
- Panonika : ...Hm, you've forgotten me? It's me, Panonika.
- Slayer : Panonika? My, you've grown a lot!
- Charlie : As the father, it's weird for me to say it, but isn't she quite beautiful?
- Slayer : Quite the splitting image of her mother.
- Charlie : I'm considering starting looking for a good husband for her.
- Panonika : Oh, dad, we promised not to talk about this.
- Slayer : Hahaha, Charlie, you're making her uncomfortable.
- Well then, can you bring me the whiskey like always?
- Panonika : Double, with no ice, mineral water as the cahser, right?
- Slayer : Yes, and with nothing else.
- Panonika : Alright!
- Slayer : How are you these days, Charlie, concerning your business.
- Charlie : The same as always. The regulars come, I make the food, the rainy season comes and goes, the same things repeat.
- If there's anything new, it might be that my head's grown balder, and Panonika's chest has filled out.
- Slayer : You seem to be faring well, then. I'm relieved.
- Panonika : Sir Slayer, here you go. And dad, please stop saying such perverted things!
- Slayer : Thank you, Panonika. Hm, it seems you have a customer?
- ====================================================
- TRACK FOUR : NIGHT, DO NOT LEAVE US
- Axl : Uwaaaaah, I'm saved!
- Slayer : I'm afraid my shirt may not be quite the right size for you.
- Axl : Not at all, it's a thousand times better than being all wet like that.
- Slayer : Yes, but... why were in such a state?
- Axl: Well, I was on this boat from Balparaiso (?) in Chile to Istart (?),
- Then this little kid on the desk fell off!
- I couldn't let that just go, so I jumped off and managed to toss the kid back on board,
- But then a huge wave came and swept me away from the ship, and I ended up swallowing lots of water,
- And just when I thought it was all over, then I time-slipped.
- Slayer : Hmm, it certainly seems you haven't aged at all over the past 10 years.
- I suppose you must really travel through time.
- Axl : Ah, but for 10 years, you haven't changed at all either.
- You're just like that time we last met in this bar.
- Slayer : Ahh, I happen to have a rather strange relationship with time as well.
- Axl : Oh, right, you were a vampire! My blood doesn't taste good, okay?
- Slayer : One doesn't know taste until one tries it, and I am not thirsty right now.
- Besides, I would prefer not to take part in such a crude activity.
- Axl : Ah, that's a relief.
- Slayer : Though, did I tell you that before?
- Axl : Yeah, you did, when we met before.
- Slayer : Before? As in... myself in the future. Hmm, interesting.
- Axl: What's interesting?
- Slayer : I've lived for several thousand years, day by boring day.
- But you, Axl Low, can easily jump time spans of a hundred years.
- To others around us must see us as strange, immortal beings.
- Axl : I guess that's what it must look like from your point of view, as a vampire.
- Slayer: Everything around me constantly changes.
- Aging and death; the people around me who know me are destined to disappear sooner or later.
- But you are different. Yes, this is truly interesting.
- Axl : Heh, to hold me in such high regard...makes me feel somewhat good.
- Yeah, me too, I'm thankful to know that you're around to remember me like that.
- Slayer : Then, let us have a toast. To our companionship.
- Axl : Yeah, a toast!
- Slayer: A toast!
- ====================================================
- Slayer : (monologue) Then, around the time when the Holy Wars were ending, I visited the town again.
- ++++++++
- TRACK SIX : OCTOBER FIRST IS TOO LATE
- Slayer : So... Charlie is truly gone...
- Panonika : Now I'm the mistress of this bar.
- I might have been a worrisome daughter to my father, but this is the least I can do.
- Slayer : I am sure he is relieved up in heaven. What about your marriage?
- Panonika : That is... I haven't been able to find anyone just right yet.
- Slayer : Since you've become quite the beautiful young lady. Well, there is nothing to hurry about.
- Panonika : Besides, this work is quite fun. I've got to protect the store that Sir Slayer frequents.
- Slayer : Hahha, this place certainly hasn't changed, as crowded as always.
- Panonika : And the fighting hasn't spread to here, either. I'm glad I was born here.
- Slayer : Yes, that is true.
- Panonika : Would you like another glass?
- Slayer : Yes, please.
- Panonika. Yes, sir.
