00:00:03,655 --> 00:00:09,493
|
|
In times gone by, one quarreled oft with Guizhong concerning mechanical principles
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
00:00:09,559 --> 00:00:12,761
|
|
We each had our ideals, and neither would yield
|
|
|
|
3
|
|
00:00:13,325 --> 00:00:18,156
|
|
Under the pretext of a social gathering, one invited the impartial Rex Lapis
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
00:00:18,156 --> 00:00:20,845
|
|
To judge the quality of our creations...
|
|
|
|
5
|
|
00:00:21,568 --> 00:00:27,943
|
|
But Rex Lapis declared that Guizhong's Obscuro Vulpes Mechanism was superior, hmph...
|
|
|
|
6
|
|
00:00:28,912 --> 00:00:33,503
|
|
Though one was too proud to acknowledge it, in one's heart, one knew
|
|
|
|
7
|
|
00:00:33,503 --> 00:00:37,994
|
|
That Guizhong was indeed the superior talent in the mechanical arts...
|
|
|
|
8
|
|
00:00:38,621 --> 00:00:44,720
|
|
As for the story between Guizhong and Streetward Rambler, that begins with a certain bell
|
|
|
|
9
|
|
00:00:45,443 --> 00:00:51,187
|
|
In Guizhong's opinion, while mechanisms were no substitute for human composers
|
|
|
|
10
|
|
00:00:51,187 --> 00:00:55,420
|
|
They were yet capable of producing simple but fine melodies
|
|
|
|
11
|
|
00:00:56,071 --> 00:01:00,853
|
|
But Streetward Rambler believed music to be an expression of the soul
|
|
|
|
12
|
|
00:01:01,131 --> 00:01:06,328
|
|
An emotional enterprise that could never hope to be replicated by machinery
|
|
|
|
13
|
|
00:01:07,184 --> 00:01:11,968
|
|
They argued endlessly, until one asked Rex Lapis to intercede
|
|
|
|
14
|
|
00:01:11,968 --> 00:01:16,143
|
|
He confiscated the bell, and designated it for ceremonial use
|
|
|
|
15
|
|
00:01:17,012 --> 00:01:21,540
|
|
Thereafter, one would often find them convening in the mountains
|
|
|
|
16
|
|
00:01:21,637 --> 00:01:26,771
|
|
Discussing music, mechanics, and all the affairs of the mortal world
|
|
|
|
17
|
|
00:01:29,584 --> 00:01:37,536
|
|
But these good times were not to last. War broke out between the gods, and soon engulfed the Guili Plains
|
|
|
|
18
|
|
00:01:37,828 --> 00:01:42,259
|
|
Guizhong was overpowered by the enemy, and fell in battle
|
|
|
|
19
|
|
00:01:42,403 --> 00:01:50,865
|
|
When Streetward Rambler and I arrived at the scene at long last, all that remained among the ruins... was her lifeless body
|
|
|
|
20
|
|
00:01:51,090 --> 00:01:54,844
|
|
After this, at Streetward Rambler's request
|
|
|
|
21
|
|
00:01:54,906 --> 00:01:59,136
|
|
Rex Lapis granted her the Cleansing Bell for safekeeping
|
|
|
|
22
|
|
00:02:00,815 --> 00:02:07,435
|
|
To honor our friend's memory, one made a few finishing touches to her ballistic device...
|
|
|
|
23
|
|
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,550
|
|
Many Lantern Rites have passed since then... many greetings and goodbyes
|
|
|
|
24
|
|
00:02:18,191 --> 00:02:22,577
|
|
Upon what do you gaze? The Guili Plains?
|
|
|
|
25
|
|
00:02:23,628 --> 00:02:27,847
|
|
No, it's... everything
|
|
|
|
26
|
|
00:02:32,974 --> 00:02:42,243
|
|
We think of human life as like a lantern that's lit one minute and extinguished the next, but are we adepti so different?
|
|
|
|
27
|
|
00:02:43,124 --> 00:02:45,982
|
|
Perhaps, as dust settles after a storm
|
|
|
|
28
|
|
00:02:46,471 --> 00:02:50,803
|
|
We too must one day return to the world below
|
|
|
