Ourai no Gahkthun: Shining Night, Witch and Goddess

 



(Note: Credit goes to the original video poster. I am just merely providing a translation)

This was...


It was an odd feeling.

It felt like there was some sort of investigation into something unusual.


It was something she had never felt before. 

It was something she had been aware of from the beginning to now.


She was half-consciously wary of it.

But soon.


It became seen as something useless.

Even though this was the first time she sensed this presence, it was someone she never would despise.


They didn't have a relationship that could refer to them as friends.

Yes. This was a relationship between the one who teaches and the one who is taught.


The guider. The teacher.

Someone who is never shown to stop smiling.


Visiting here was a person who rarely ever visited her...


Nightingale: ...My, what an unusual visitor.

Nightingale: And it's so late at night as well... No, it's dawn. For what purpose do you have coming here?

Nightingale: Lady Keziah Mason. True Witch.


A beautiful person appeared.

In her hand was the usual "book".


With an unchanging smile.

With a seductive smile.

The elegant witch stood in the center of the man-made garden.


That moment, she felt something very similar to the blooming of flowers.


A sign of something that wasn't Human.

A sign of something that continued to be there in silence.


Yes, it was something that made her think so. Yet it couldn't be. 

Just like this beautiful person.


Keziah: Yes, good day to you. False Witch who differs from us.

Keziah: Did I surprise you? I'm sorry if that were the case.


Nightingale: No, you're just elusive. Your appearance here isn't anything new.

Nightingale: That's the point. Your child is exactly just like you.


Keziah: Ah, yes. All of those bad things are similar to mine.

Keziah: I must thank you for that time four years ago. Thanks to that, that child has done nothing but awful things outside of here.


Nightingale: No, that person. He's not bad. Though he is a little off to the side.


Keziah: That, I cannot deny. I've raised him wrongly.


That's it.

Those were words of undeniability.


The name of the student calling Jean Dasprey.

No, the person who pretended to be a student caused a great deal of confusion in the Academia.


It was four years ago.

The 53 People Committee incident, caused by the Art Student known as Jean Dasprey...


It was because of that incident that she and Wilhelm Reich succeded the previous Governing Council and inherited their power.


Various things have happened since.

Yes, just like the current Academia.


Nightingale: Lady. There's one thing I want to make sure.


Keziah: What is it?


Nightingale: Last month, a week after the Golden King fell. "That" wasn't you at the time... Was it not?


Keziah: It's not. I love children.

Keziah: I can't exactly protect you, though. That kind of thing goes against my tastes.


Nightingale: ...Pardon me.


She lowered her head.

In Far-Eastern style, she did so deeply and respectfully.


Keziah: No, it's alright. It wouldn't be strange if I was misunderstood.

Keziah; Though even now, that Man of Thunder keeps glaring at me.

Keziah: Well, I suppose it's a good thing in of itself. That's why he was able to overcome the Golden Demon.

Keziah: If I put it in the style of the 3rd Newspaper Club, I think it would called...Rosy Eyes


Nightingale: Yes. The Golden King has fallen. Thus, he remains no longer in this world.


Keziah: It's quite amazing. I never would have thought anything beyond a tie could be done.


Nightingale: ...Yes.


Master Tesla's deadly battle.

I was "aware" of all of it.


Of how much hardship he endured.

Of how much we achieved a great miracle.

Against a King who obtained numerous Golden Eyes over the course of several decades.


It was a miracle that he was able to defeat him.

No, it was more than a miracle that my master Tesla did not fall to death.


I hope he's still in this world.

That girl has nothing but gratitude to all of it.


To everything on this earth.

To Radiance. To all that is warm.


Keziah: You've done really well. As did the kids too.

Keziah: You should be proud. It's because you exist that Nikola Tesla defeated that Golden Demon.

Keziah: Your Academia has won against the Golden King, Rosenkreuz.


That name. Golden King...


It was something dreadful. Something that covers everything.

A Golden Demon that rules over even the blue sky.

A Rose Ruler who was equivalent to being the embodiment of the world.


Golden King Rosenkreuz.

The Acting Leader of the Society that rules over the shadows of the world.


The Golden King Rosenkreuz and their organization secretly managed and utilized the Academia. 

They who have been separated from the Academia's from the master's hand.


Master Tesla, to be exact.

It was thanks to the efforts of many students.


However, not many of them were aware of this.

Most of the hundred thousand students affected by the Rosy Eyes incident did not know of it.


At that time, the Academia did not know of the girl who ran did.

They did not know.


However, she herself knew of it.

All of it.


That's why. 

She was someone that was must be absolutely protected.


From the evil clutches of the Golden King and their organization. 

In fact, after several decades have the Marseille Offshore Academia and its young students been finally released.


Keziah: I'm sure you're curious as to what the Society are doing outside. But for now, we should look after the Academia.

Keziah: I'll let you know if there's anything unusual that occurs. With these eyes of a Witch.


Nightingale: Thank you very much. We will continue to look after Château d'If.


Keziah: That we shall.

Keziah: ...Onto the main topic. Did you know that Da Vinci already died?


Nightingale: ...Yes?

Nightingale: Uomo Universale?


There was just no way anyone had not heard of that name.

The famed Erudite Scholar connected to the Ten Erudite Scholars, an object of worship for those who aspire to become learners.


Leonardo da Vinci.

A versatile person. An unparalleled King of All Things.


They were an Icon of sophistication that the theory of survival was a reality despite coming from a long time ago.

He was a genius among geniuses who created numerous inventions.


How many years has it been since she heard the survival theory was true?


Even now, Nightingale still recalls the words of her Master.


She had hoped to meet them someday.

Dreaming, wondering if they really existed...


Keziah: It happened at least last month. It was something the Society has recognized.

Keziah: The Universale Leonardo has died. And approximately half of the Foundation has been destroyed.


Nightingale: Hold on a second. The United States Foundation...?


Keziah: Ah, you didn't know? This, too, happened last month.


Nightingale: Yes, the organization you're talking about. They're supposed to be an official national organization of the United States. This is...


Keziah: The biggest faction over there has always been against cooperating with the Society. They were wiped out. There were no survivors.

Keziah: And also. There's the child the Man of Thunder had his eye on.

Keziah: That child who possessed the 2nd Machine Belt prototype. They, too, have been killed last month.


Nightingale: Machina...


She muttered in shock.

There was just no way she wouldn't know that name.


She had never met them before in the Smilja Forest.

However, it was clear that they were both students who shared the same feelings and Master.


This was...


Keziah: They destroyed their machine siblings, then they destroyed themselves.


Nightingale: ...Why, and by whom?


Keziah: The one who is a Ruler. The embodiment of the world. The Rose Ruler. Otherwise known as the Golden Demon.

Keziah: Christian Rosenkreuz. That was their handiwork.


Nightingale: That...


That was something that must be killed.

Something that has already vanished from everywhere in the world.


Certainly, it was something that should been sublimated without a trace by the lightning blow unleashed by her Master.


So how?

How were they able to kill someone...


Keziah: This was the 2nd phase of the Society's core plan. The elimination of obstacles. This here means that it was successful.

Keziah: Only this place has become the exception. Marseille Offshore Academia.


Nightingale: But... There's no longer any signs of the Rose Ruler anywhere within the Academia.

Nightingale: This is so unexpected...


Keziah: You can't really believe it, can you? 


Nightingale: I don't know what you're going on about...

Nightingale: Even if Uomo Universale had fallen, I don't think...


Keziah: Do as you wish. At least the Academia is alright. Just as long as Nikola Tesla exists.

Nightingale: ...


The words didn't last.

All she could do was just keep her lips sealed.


Keziah: My apologies. I didn't mean to scare you.

Keziah: However, I do have to bring this up. That gaze. Do you sense it?


Nightingale: ...Yes. I do.


She was aware of it.

It was something always gazing at her.


At the Academia.

At the hundred thousand students.


She sensed something that was hard yet soft.

It was the presence of something abnormal. Indeed, she had noticed it a few days ago.


On Monday, April 26th to be exact.


However...


Keziah: However, it's just been staring at us. It hasn't done anything to the Academia.

Keziah: I do not know as to what that is. However, please do be careful.

Keziah: It's possible that it may have a similar plan of sorts even if they aren't the Golden King himself. Of course, that might not also be the case either.


Nightingale: ...Yes.


Keziah: I am a Witch, after all. I can't protect you.

Keziah: In tradition, I am only here to warn you of a bad omen but I will do my best.

Keziah: But you are different. You're not a real Witch.


Not a witch...


She didn't quite understand the meaning of those words.

Although she had heard it from her Master. Of the fact that this woman was a true Witch.


Thus, without even responding to that word, she asks the thing that's filled her mind the most.


Many words were spoken here. Was that person aware of this?


Nightingale: About this. Master...

Keziah: He probably doesn't know. It seems be due to the way it works.

Nightingale: To twist even Master's perception. That isn't the work of a person...

Keziah: Yes. It's not a person.


It was something hard like steel.

Yet, it had a gaze as soft like water.


It was something other than a person.


From outside of the Academia to everything within it...


Even now, it was doing it...


Continuously...
