Further flashback. |
Volklingen apparently spent the next few days conciliating Jeran. She took care of her tenderly at every turn, sharing her food to her gluttonous girl friend. |
Volklingen |
(Grrr! Was it wrong of me to share my food with you, I'm so hungry! No, no, I must be patient! I'm no royalty if I let my stomach growl!) |
Volklingen |
(Damn it, I could have eaten as much as I wanted with the money I earned. I'm only allowed to eat table scraps unfitting for me, and I gave half of it to Jeran.) |
Volklingen |
(I'm going to get out of this shithole as soon as possible! To do that, first of all -) |
Jeran |
"Fetchy~, let's play let's play! Jeran wants to play ball together dah~♪" Volklingen, a German name, is pronounced like "Felklingen". |
Volklingen |
('Shut it, don't call me Fetchy, you presumptuous brat! Kill yourself!' - is what I would have said. Dammit, keep calm keep calm. I'm a patient girl, huzzah me.) |
Volklingen |
"...Hmmhmm. Playing ball is nice, but let's do something a bit different today♪" |
Jeran |
"Garrrrrrrrgh...? What do you mean, something different? Like playing hunt?" |
Volklingen |
(What the Hell is playing hunt...? Yeah, every single thing she says is provocative. But if I start ranting the weird things then I'll be here all day.) |
Volklingen |
(This is the only time we can go out into this prison courtyard. It's almost the only time we prisoners get some fresh air during our lunch break.) |
Volklingen |
(This is the only time we can do that. Heheheh...♪ That's why I tamed this animal by wagging my tail, and I don't even have one to wag.) |
Volklingen |
"--Hey Jeran, don't you want to get out of the prison?" |
Jeran |
"Garrrrrgh? We are outside dah~, see, see! Jeran and friends are outside now dah~!" |
Volklingen |
"Tsk... This is just a courtyard, it's surrounded by walls. That's not what I'm saying, come on, I'm asking if you want to escape." |
Volklingen |
"It's just not right you know...? What did we do to deserve staying inside this Oshioki Prison?" |
Jeran |
"Garrrgh? Jeran doesn't know much about human society, so she didn't pay in a shop and broke things ~dah!" |
Jeran |
"She was trouble to others, so she deserves to be punished dah~! All the other inmates are the same dah~, Phnom Penh dragged people into the water?" |
Jeran |
"Roswell has broken rules by disappearing on duty, and Salem was not allowed to wander around naked~ They all do something that makes people angry dah~!" |
Jeran |
"Eheh. Jeran, was the first to be locked, so know a lot about it dah~♪" |
Volklingen |
"Oh right, I don't give a shit about the other scum... But you know what, I'm not like them. Believe me Jeran, I have done nothing wrong." |
Jeran |
"Garrrgh...?" |
Volklingen |
"I've been put in this prison by mistake. But no matter how much I insisted I was innocent, nobody believed me... Sniff sniff." |
Jeran |
"Grrr... "That's so sad dah~, Fetchy is such a good and kind person, Jeran believes you dah~, Fetchy didn't do anything wrong dah~" |
Volklingen |
(...Seriously, is this brat for real? How can you trust a stranger you've only met a few days ago that much? Well, it's convenient, I suppose--) |
Volklingen |
"So, you know. My mama is in critical condition and she wants to see me, her daughter, at the end of her life... It's impossible to go and see her when she's locked up in prison like this, isn't it?" |
Jeran |
"Gaarrrgh? What is critical condition? Jeran, doesn't understand hard words!" |
Volklingen |
".... I mean sick, she's sick, she's dying." |
Jeran |
"Yes, that's terrible dah~! Fetchy, you have to go to your mama right now! But it's difficult when you're locked up in a prison like this dah~...?" |
Volklingen |
"Yes. That's why I want to break out of jail, Jeran, are you able to help me?" |
Jeran |
"Uh, yeah... Jeran has done something wrong, so she's going to be punished... Fetchy said you didn't do anything wrong and--" |
Jeran |
"Sure you want to see your mama~... Jeran's mama was killed by bad poachers too, so she knows how you feel -- Jeran wants to at least let you see her for one last time dah~" |
Jeran |
"Jeran, what should she do? Will do anything for Fetchy dah~!" |
Volklingen |
"...Really. Thanks, Jeran." |
Volklingen |
"Right, dig the earth there. Keep digging on and on and on, we're going to open a tunnel to escape from prison." |
Jeran |
"Hmm... yes, with a tunnel we can get out of the walls dah~! Fetchy, you not only smell good, but you're smart too dah~!" |
Volklingen |
"What do you mean by smelling good...? Just dig, that's what I said. Quickly, I want to get to my mama as soon as possible." |
Jeran |
"Yes, leave it to Jeran dah~! Tigers are the best and strongest, so it's easy to do that dah~!" |
Jeran |
"Garrrgh! Garrrrrgh Garrrghrghrghrghrgh~!" |
Jeran was completed fooled by Volklingen, she digs up the soil in the courtyard at great speed. |
Roswell |
"......" |
Looking as if she was going to communicate with the universe in a place where one could see the sky, only Roswell witnessed the whole thing. |
