Gutts

(Gutts signals to Judeau and Pippin to acknowledge their presence then he take a glance at Corkus)

Corkus

-Sh..

Gaston & Friends

-Boss!!

-Gutts!!

Rickert

-Ah..the raid team

4

Gutts

-You guys….

Caska

-There’s no time to waste

-The enemies will return for sure!!

-We must leave tonight!!

-Team 1! Surround our stronghold!!

-Team 2 and 3 go carry the remaining of our armory and food!!

-The rest go catch the horses that were running away during the fight

5

Rickert

-Caska

Gutts

-Let’s keep it for later

-Like she said……

-Let’s hurry now

6

Gutts

-Gri…

-Griffith?

Judeau

-It happened the very same day you left a year ago

Gutts

-I can’t believe ….

-Griffith would…..

-Why…..?

Judeau

-…….

Rickert

-After Gutts left

-Griffith seem so sad..

-I think

-Griffith was thinking about Gutts

7

Rickert

-……

(Judeau Signals to Rickert not to say any further)

Gutts

-…..

Corkus

-Sh….The great army of White Hawk

-Became a band of thieves in a night..It’s ridiculous

-…But don’t be misunderstood

8

Corkus

-The reason Griffith became like that

-Was not because of you

-Not because of you..for certiain

Gutts

-…….

Judeau

-Within a year….our force has been reduced to 1/5

-There were both those who dies and those who fled…We can no longer call it

an army

-At least we are still lucky

-If Caska didn’t act like a leader

-Band of Hawk would probably been shattered to pieces

Gutts

-…..

-That Caska….?

Rickert

-I thought I wouldn’t survive….

-If Caska didn’t command the troops…..

9

Rickert

-Caska’s amazing…..without weapon, and the enemy has 10 times our force

-In the midst of arrow rain, she could command the troops and broke out of there

-She was hit with 5 arrows but could still command the troop without losing any

sense

Gutts

-….!!

Judeau

-After that, Caska was anointed leader

-It was a unanimous vote since we all have seen her capabilities

-To tell the truth, it’s beyond our power…But we have no choice

-For us……for us to survive

10

Judeau

-But….

-All were not wasted

-We didn’t just run away

-Today we received news about Griffith’s jailing place from our spies

-Not long we’ll be able to proceed with our plan

Gutts

-…..

Judeau

-We’ll help

-…..rescue Griffith

-Everyone here are so tired

-For the past year, we’ve been the hunted, we all are both mentally and physically

tired

11

Judeau

-But no one’s fleeing from this place

-There’s no one forcing them to stay either

-The ones that are here are the true members of  Hawk band

-But the patience can’t help us this time…..

-It’s not going to save Griffith…

-The band of Hawk can’t live without Griffith

Gutts

-…..

12

Gutts

-That’s…nice

Judeau

-eh?

Gutts

-It seems like….

-Nothing has changed since I left….

-That’s good….

Pippin

-……

Corkus

-……

Judeau

-Oh..yeah

-What were you doing for the past year?

Rickert

-Yeah..that’s right!

-The news about Hawk Band must have been spreading far, why didn’t you come

earlier?

-Aw… (Pippin knocks Rickert in the head)

Gutts

-Sorry Rickert…I really didn’t know

Rickert

-Were you on a deserted island?

13

Gutts

-In  a valley….

-I was swinging this thing

Rickert

-A valley?

-So it’s like a deserted island on land…..

-Well…that’s so ancient….

-But it really does fit you

-It’s crazy

Gutts

-……

Corkus

-“Well, that’s because he’s crazy”

Judeau

-Well…Did you find it? That thing…..

Gutts

-….

-Frankly speaking…not yet

-But I know one thing…

-No..I feel….like

14

Gutts

-For me….

-Besides swinging this sword…

-I have no other feelings

-And don’t want to find other answers

Rickert

-?

Pippin

-……

Judeau

-If you can say it this calmly

-It means you have gone up a step already

-If you are back like this

-It means you still care about us

-Help us

-Raid leader

15

Corkus

-More likely an ex Raid Leader

Rickert

-Corkus

Judeau

-…..

Corkus

-I won’t accept him

-I don’t care whether it’s his dream or not but he left us at his own will wasn’t it?

-He left while we were suffering.. How can I call such person a friend

-Not counting things from the past, you merely are an outsider

-Behave yourself

Rickert

-Don’t be like that, Corkus

Corkus

-…..

Gutts

-Uh…..

16

Gutts

-I know

Judeau

-…..

Raid team

-Boss

Gutts

-!

Raid Team

-How long are you going to talk the serious matters?

-Come drink with us..hurry!

Gutts

-You guys….

-Hey, Gaston…how’s your shop that’s opened in Windum?

Gaston

-Oh..yeah..but my wife wanted to divorce

-And Band of Hawk became like this….I couldn’t stay there

-It was just something that slowed me down

17

Gaston

-You ‘d say so too right?

Judeau

-Wait….

-Before you go….

Gutts

-What?

Judeau

-About Caska…

Gutts

Judeau

-the wounds she got a year ago

-caused her to be unconscious for 3 days and 3 nights.  It was really serious

-During that time…she slept talk about Griffith and…..

18

Judeau

-You.

Gutts

-!

-……

Judeau

-Caska’s pushing herself too hard

-You know how she’s always been

19

Judeau

-We can’t do anything.  Perhaps you can do something

Gutts

-…..

Rickert

Gutts

-……. (Standing all by himself against a tree)

Caska

-Can you…

-Follow me….
