Gutts

…..

Griffith

-Are you leaving?

Gutts

-Yes

Griffith

-Do you really mean to leave the Hawk band?

Gutts

-……

3

Gutts

-I’m sorry

Rickert

-Just a simple word of sorry won’t explain anything

-Explain to me why!!!

-The Band of Hawk is like your family

-What reason would want you to leave?

Judeau

-That’s enough Rickert

4

Judeau

-He has already decided…

-Let him go

Rickert

-But…but…

-Everyone must be worrying

-Since Gutts’ the raid leader..

-He’s an important person to the army

Corkus

-Sh…

-The Band of Hawk could survive before his arrival

-The success of our army wasn’t created only by him!!

Rickert

-But..

Corkus

-Shut up!!! (to Rickert)

-Well, now I want to tell you… (To Gutts)

5

Corkus

-I hate you the most since the first time we met

-To tell the truth, while we were in battles, I aimed my arrow at you a few times.

Judeau

-“Dumb…..”

Rickert

-……

Corkus

-Sh…

-Why I hate you so much

-Now I know the reason…

-….

-Because of your face

-The presence of your face annoys me

6

Corkus

-The face that seem to carry all the weight in the world

-Like you are journeying to a horrid place..that no one would know

-You act like you are so special

-Don’t be so proud

-I won’t accept you

-You have nothing special.

-You can never be like Griffith

Caska

-!

7

Corkus

-Sh…

-Now you are no longer a member of Hawk Band

-If you are in a battlefield, watch your back more carefully

Gutts

-….

Rickert

-Gutts

Gutts

-……

-Farewell…

8

Gutts

(Thinking to himself about what Judeau said earlier)

-“Caska….probably won’t be able to be with Griffith..Why don’t you ask her to go with you?”

-“Never thought of holding her in your arms?”

9

Caska

-…..!!

Gutts

-!

10

(Griffith draws his sword and ready to fight)

11

Gutts

-Griffith

Griffith

-I once said…

-You are mine…

12

Griffith

-I used this (sword) and won you

-Your fight and your death belong to me

-If you want to leave, you must win your freedom like the old time.

13

Rickert

-Griffith….!!

Gutts

-Can’t we say farewell with smiles?

-All right, you are serious about this…

Caska

-!

14-15

(Griffith and Gutts are facing each other and ready to fight)

16

Caska

-W…wait!!

-Are you two really going to fight?

-Are you really going to kill each other?

Griffith, you should try to persuade him to stay…!!

-…!!

Gutts

-Stay back, Caska…..

Caska

-….!!

17

Gutts

-Do not stay and block us

Caska

-What are you saying…!?

-If you two are really going to fight, there will definitely be some injuries…..!!

-!

-Pippin what are you doing?.....

-Release me…

Judeau

-Now the two must fight each other

Corkus

-He deserves it

Caska

-……

18

Caska

-What’s going on everyone?

-This is killing..you must stop them…!!

Judeau

-It’s their decision

Caska

-But

Corkus

-We have no sword, how can we help?

Judeau

-Caska, have you forgotten the rule of mercenary? A sword for a sword

-It’s what we did all the time in Midland.

-Mercenaries also have rules we must abide by.

-You know that well, right?

Caska

-…But….

Judeau

-“Caska…she has changed”

19

Judeau

-“If it was the same old Caska…she wouldn’t be hesitating in hurting the same team”

-“Even if she must die…..only for Griffith’s wish she’d have done anything”

-“For her, Griffith’s command was like a decree from heaven”

-“…No…”

-“Perhaps she’s still the same…”

-“But…”

-“Would she know that she’s changing…?”

20

Gutts

-“He stares as if I were his enemy…”

-“Because I abandoned his trust and his hope…”

-“But even if you’d feel betrayed…I won’t blame you for being angry like this”

-“I will not be part of anyone’s dream..I will find my own and keep on living by myself”

21

Gutts

-“Because of this…”

-(Thinking about Griffith’s words) “I will fight whoever try to break my dream…even if it’s myself”

-(Thinkinf about Griffith’s words)  “A friend for me is someone of equal status..”

-“That’s why I must go….”

Corkus

-That guy deserves to get an arm or two chopped off..

Judeau

-Would it be that simple…?

-For the last 3 years, Gutts had been fighting as a raid leader.

-His job was the most dangerous one in the Hawk Band, But Griffith, though he’s a genius in sword fight…

22

Judeau

-Gutts’ Sword was sharpen with so many deaths.

-It seem like Griffith is more serious than usual.

-The powers of the two are about to clash.
