nobles: what a horrifying sight!
nobles: It's as if this were a battlefield!
nobles: what the hell are these beasts!?

Noble1: That man almost single-handedly cut down all those monsters! At first he looked like a mercenary but...
Noble2: Which army could he possibly belong to...?
Noblewomen: Those are elves, are they not? We can really see them!
Noble3: Furthermore, those things that woman was controlling...

nobles: That lady is most certainly the Vandimion house's daughter...
nobles: It cannot be! That the Mistress Vandimion... would be... a witch... Tch!

Ivarela: The upper class! My societal debut!
Serpico: .........
Ishidoro: daaamn, they sure are turnin' on ya, eh? [handwritten letters: Magical mistress Farnee-chan]

Page 4

Farnese's Mom: ... Even so
Farnese's Mom: I thought she was up to something but...
Farnese's Mom: I never imagined she would be a witch.
Farnese's Mom: I wonder, exactly what kind of journey have you come from now...

Farnese's Mom: A side of you that can trust in others like that...
Farnese's Mom: I couldn't see it at all back at the mansion.

Farnese's Mom: ...no. Neither I, nor those people, nor your brothers...
Farnese's Mom: It is not something any of us Vandimions could afford.

Page 5

Farnese's Mom: You, who had held no regard for anyone else, have won it back with the power of your thirsting desire cultivated from the depths of solitude.
Farnese's Mom: A blessing brought upon only through a supple spirit mindless of the family chains and the like. I'm jealous.

Serpico: What... shall we do?
Ishidoro: Whaa? They gonna bite the hand that feeds 'em?
Ivarela: How rude! We'll kick the shit out of you, you know!
Guts: Things have gotten all complicated now

Lord Vandimion: Wait!

Page 6

nobles: Lord Vandimion!

Farnese: Father...

L.Vandimion: First, as the representative of the people gathered here,
L.Vandimion: I must express my appreciation to you for quelling this disturbance for us.
L.Vandimion: You have our gratitude

Ishidoro: Eh? Wha?
Ishidoro: Applause!

Ishidoro: Well, you're going that far? [handwritten--> keep it comin' baby]
Ivarella: It's a standing ovation <3
[handwritten Schierke-->Geez this is embarassing]

Page 7

L.Vandimion: The foul beasts of this evenings strange and horrifying events were brought to this soiree to slay the elite of every nation at once. They were sent here by the Kushaan.
L.Vandimion: There should be no mistaking it after looking at this beast militia.

nobles: Beast militia... But to be so dubious...

L.Vandimion: According to the tales that have reached my ears, they are a savage tribe who have a fancy for using beasts in battle. They are likely things born of secret arts through hybrids and concoctions.

nobles: ...I see now. When it's explained like that

Ivarella: the old man sure likes his profound statements.
Ishidoro: Is he right?
Schierke: I believe he got about half of it right, but...

Noble: B-but Lord Vandimion...

Nobles: Th-that is, what might your view be concerning these ...?
Puck: The quality of these gold coins lately is terrible [sound effect--> *bite* *bite*]

Page 8

nobles: Moreover... We could see even her ladyship your daughter...
nobles: that is...

nobles: This is terribly difficult to say so but...
nobles: none the less...
Nobles: it was witchcraft...

Serpico: Somehow the cloud of suspicion covers us once again
Ishidoro: Keh! They sure are bunch of tight-asses

L.Vandimion: Ladies and gentlemen, I beg your silence

Page 9

L.Vandimion: That was most likely
L.Vandimion: an illusion

Ivarella: Illu-!
Puck: -sion!
Ishidoro: really?

Guts: Wow, there he goes again...

Nobles: W-well, it's just that...
nobles: They are so clearly in plain sight of everyone here... [in handwriting--> and they're somehow insisting so themselves too]
Ivarella: Exactly! Hey you, speak up for yourself!
[puck's flag--> Cogito ergo sum]
[text below flag--> flag of the Illusion party]

bottom-most noble bubble: Hey! Just let it drop!
middle bubble: B-but over there...! Look!
L.Vandimion: Perhaps a drug was mixed in with the drinks you put to your mouth a while ago, or it could also be that we were deceived by the mist... and had something like a mass hallucinatory effect.
Ivarella: Don't explain it away so simply!
[Caska--> mu]
Serpico: wow

L.Vandimion: In either event

Page 10

L.Vandimion: We the governing body of the Papal Office of Enlightenment* have been dealt a blow
L.Vandimion: It was precisely the Kushaan army's goal to plunge the Allied Forces into a state of chaos

*TRANSLATION NOTE* First two Kanji of the name of their group is "Pope", the next one means "Office" or "agency" and then comes the Kanji for "teaching" which is also used in "religion", followed by "bloc". Because I thought it sounded lame to say "Pope office of teaching bloc" or something like that, I compromised with the above, which I think still could plausibly fit the meaning. But it is in the end a made up office for which I am unaware of a true english equivalent. *END NOTE*

L.Vandimion: To fall so easily to such a blatant strategy is the height of foolishness.
L.Vandimion: It is an unworthy shamefulness that befalls the main congregation

L.Vandimion: Or perhaps you all who are gathered here,
L.Vandimion: Were you planning on becoming the laughing stock of our soldiers
L.Vandimion: By spreading on the eve before the departure for the front lines such prattle as "It's an elf!" or "Monsters!"?

Nobles: H-he's right
Nobles: It is as he says...

Page 11

Puck: Ok, well, I guess there's nothing we can do...
Ivarella: Don't abandon your own identity so easily!
Ishidoro: Pretty amazing huh, how he turned it all around
Schierke: In some respects it's impressive, isn't it

Guts: Your old man is pretty tough.

Farnese: ...I
Farnese: think he is too...

Farnese's Mom: To be confronted by just this fact
Farnese's Mom: He's as surprising and impressive as ever.
Farnese's Mom: He's a completely different character than Manifico after all.

[ucrzymofo87]

thank you call very much! a job well done as usual

[Wib]

Thank you!!
I love you so much.
kiss kiss kiss!!

[akurei]

Fantastic chapter, much thanks to psi and mystic and the entire EG team.

Seems that Guts is definitely going to involve himself in this war after all. There are some things, such as the slaughter of apostles and Griffith's date with the Dragonslayer, that Guts simply cannot let slide. With Ganishka staring him right in the face, I seriously doubt that Guts will simply ignore all of this and try to steal a ship and mush on toward Alfheim.

On a sidenote, even Guts was openly impressed with the sheer force of Frederico Vandemion's presence. Its no wonder the Vandemion family has remained the pinnacle of the Holy See.. Although his speech in the face of a room full of dead monsters, a witch, elves, a flying swordsman, and corpses among other things sorta reminded me of the Men in Black or a Jedi mind trick or something.

Putting on a show like that would be necessary both to save face (the head of the Papal Agency's daughter is a witch?! omfg) and swing the public opinion in favor of him making use of this group's unique talents against the Kushan. I think Guts lending his service to the Vandemion against Ganishka is pretty much sealed now.

[Loeviz]

Your forgetting that he still has the Cascka problem, well he could just put her on a ship to Elfhelm and then do what he does best
Or maybe Farnese´s father will use his daughter (And maybe Cascka) as a lever to get him to join in on the war. But that can also backfire (Like it has so many times before when someone tries to control Guts)

[Skullkracker]

that part about Griffith controlling the Kushan as well really made me wonder...does Guts have to kick everybody's ass on his own now?
or he may just stand aside and let Griffith's troup handle that shit

[akari]

Great release!! Keep up the god work. You're the best!

[LordMune]

This is one awesome chapter. Good work Oro, Mystic, Eldo, psi (and Evanidus, I suppose)!

[Baz]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Now that's out the way, Looks like Guts is going to staying for the battle. So going by what we know, I'm guessing Schierke going to put up the normal 4 angle defence plus a new one. In particular the one she was going to put on the beach hut, because the alligators having physical bodies but didn't get a chance to put it on. Where is she going to put it up? No idea but it can't be the whole city, so... I'm guessing a Cathedral so the innocent will be protected and she can see the battle field(Cathedrals are normally the highest place in the city). I think Serpico will be on assassination duty as Schierke tells him where the animal commanders are. As for Guts we all know what he's going to be doing and lets not forget Azan can't wait to see him fight.

[MrFelony]

Great job guys. his destiny is upon him

[Sandman]

Yes great work, now this chapter leaves use like most others with more questions than answers.

Oh well seeing Ganishuka again was awesome and now Guts has seen him and knows what he is up against.

Well it looks like the kushan are burning all the ships so no leaving for Guts and crew, so got to stay and fight. I hope everyone lives this one out... but it doesn't seem likely

[Pergatory]

YES! i so called guts would end up fighting in the war...boooyaaaa

anyways awesome release guys keep them coming

[NeoTigris]

this was great can't wait for the next one.

[TheDrizzit]

Giggity!! Awesome chapter fella's I really appreciate all the hard work you guys do so that I and everyone else can read Berserk. I can't wait until October now! Still far off in my eyes though. Looks like it's going to be a badass chapter. Kinda caught me off guard that Guts didn't try to stab the Kushan Kings (forget his name) head though...seems like something he would do just out of sheer anger.

[Femto]

Thanks for another great chapter. Looks like things are going to start to heat up again and that's very, very good.

[Istvan]

This was a great chapter! Maybe Gatts and Co. can sell their monster killing talents to Farneze's father in exchange for a ship after the battle. That way they could kill Apostle's and work on continuing their journey all at once.
