Play Translation

	In the time of industrial revolution. As the economic inequality becomes more widespread, the unemployed youths resorted to crimes and the town is filled with a lot of the so-called street children.
	One day, Mark who was accused of a crime he never committed, was freed from his imprisonment and he was finally released from the prison.
	The radiance of the soul that has travelled through thousands of years, shining brightly towards the surface of the earth. Bringing to distraught, the accursed heaven’s blessing.
Mark	I won’t come back here again.
	Thank you for your care.
	…… Fyuh ……
Robber	Give me your money!
Mark	---- I don’t have any money.
	I just came out from the prison.
Robber	I don’t care, just hand me over your bag!
Mark	---- Ugh
Robber	Ha, ha …...
	It’s not my fault you’re such an easy prey!
Mark	This is a lie isn’t it…
	My life, is it just going to end like this…...?
Lucifer	Do you resent your own fate?
	Do you detest yourself who has fallen?
Mark	Eh……?
Lucifer	I can give you the power.
	The power to overturn your fate, a sword to accomplish your revenge.
Mark	A devil……?
Lucifer	If you let it be this way, you won’t accomplish anything.
	You’ll rot away and everything will end here.
	You’ll end up alone, not being acknowledged by anyone.
Mark	…… I hate it.
Lucifer	Then make a contract with me, in exchange for your soul.
Mark	A contract……
Lucifer	In one month time, you shall give me your soul as the compensation.
Mark	One month?
	Is this the only way for me to stay alive?
Lucifer	No one can escape from the contract’s term.
Mark	What!
	If it’s like that, then there’s no meaning to it.
Lucifer	There’s actually one method to break free from the contract.
	You can hunt the soul of another who has contracted with a devil.
	That way, you can replace your soul with that of another.
	Your soul will then be released from the contract’s term.
Mark	Another contractor’s soul ……
Lucifer	So, what are you going to do?
Mark	……
	Alright, let’s do the contract.
Lucifer	Then with your soul, the success of your revenge shall be guaranteed.
Mark	What I want is not revenge.
	I just want the proof of my innocence.
Lucifer	…… That’s alright.
	And here, the contract shall be established.
	After the unprecedented assault by a hoodlum, the demon Lucifer appears in front of the injured Mark.
	The devil promised to bestow him a power to exact his revenge, and in exchange, his soul shall be taken away as a compensation when the contract ends in one-month time.
	When Mark found no meaning in the limited timespan, Lucifer offered him the only method for his soul not to be taken away. That is to hunt for another devil contractor’s soul and by doing so, Mark’s soul will not be taken away when the contract ends.
	With that in mind, Mark finally accepted the contract with the goal of proofing his own innocence.
Mark	No way, that guy is the culprit ……
	And I thought he’s my friend.
Lucifer	Humans are such a fragile being. They fall into despair and corruption so easily.
Mark	Speaking of which, devils are also very persuasive, huh.
Lucifer	Both are favorable for us, devils.
Mark	Will you always be by my side, Lucifer?
Lucifer	With a high-ranking devil like me as the master of the contract, I am not bounded by any limitation. However, I won’t go to the human world without any reason.
Mark	Heh, so when I call you out, you will always appear before me.
	That’s very convenient.
Lucifer	Don’t treat me like a tool. It’s unpleasant
Mark	My bad, my bad.
Lucifer	Hnn…
Robber	So, the story goes like that.
	But I wonder why.
	That time when I heard his word, an unpleasant feeling rose in my gut.
	I lost my sight and I could not differentiate between good and evil anymore.
	I felt nothing but contempt, and when my friend fell ---
Walter	Repent for your sin, starts anew, and your crime shall be forgiven.
	That way, God will bring salvation to thy soul.
Robber	…… Thank you very much, Father.
Walter	……
Beelzebub	I sense the presence of another devil.
Walter	I haven’t seen another contractor around though.
Beelzebub	Smells like a familiar pest.
Walter	Are you talking about one of your devil acquaintances?
Beelzebub	Before that, it’s time for a meal.
	I want to eat stew today.
Walter	…… Really, this stew eating devil.
	Just listen to me for once.
Beelzebub	Don’t forget to put a lot of meat inside.
Walter	I get it, fine.
	…… Another devil, huh.
	Oh God, I pray to you, extend your hand towards your stray children and bring salvation to their grieving souls. Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil. Amen.
	By borrowing Lucifer’s power, the culprit finally confessed to his crime, providing closure for Mark.
	At the same time, the devil, Beelzebub, whispered his evil to Walter. With the intention to purge evils, he formed a contract with Beelzebub and took the name as one of the devil’s contractor to hunt for other’s souls.
Mark	Long time no see, Cliff.
Cliff	Mark!
	When did you come out from the prison?
Mark	A week ago. Thank you for a lot of things.
Cliff	Nah, I was powerless.
	It was such a misfortune.
Mark	Not long ago, the true culprit just surrendered himself.
Cliff	Really, if he’s going to surrender himself, he should have done that earlier.
	Regardless, I’m glad that you are finally proved innocent.
Mark	Yep.
Cliff	So, have you decided on what are you going to do next?
Mark	I’m looking for a job, currently I’m just doing day to day work to get by.
Cliff	Then, why don’t you work in my place?
	I’ll be very delighted if you join.
Mark	Thanks for the invitation, but Cliff’s ‘work’ is impossible for me.
Cliff	If it’s not because of our ‘work’, there will be a lot more children dying on the street!
Mark	I know but, I still can’t do it.
Cliff	Then, when you change your mind, come and find me. I’ll listen to you anytime.
Mark	Thank you, Cliff.
Lucifer	Why do you refuse to depend on Cliff?
Mark	Cliff’s work revolves around threats and blackmails.
	It’s a lot of illegal works.
	Of course, if it’s not like that, I know that more people will suffer from starvation on the streets.
	But I don’t want to do that kind of thing.
Lucifer	Then quickly find an honest profitable job that you can do.
	I don’t want to be summoned to this dirty room again and again.
Mark	For a devil, you sure are fussy about cleanliness.
Lucifer	That’s none of your business.
Mark	My bad, my bad.
	Then, since it’s impossible for me to move out now, let’s start by helping me with the cleaning.
Lucifer	Why do I need to do this kind of thing……
	Mark met Cliff, who was his childhood friend from the same institution.
	He offered his gratitude, for Cliff had provided him with a lot of assistance during his imprisonment.
	Cliff was glad that Mark was finally proven innocent. He offered for Mark to join him in his work, but Mark was unable to resort to illegal activities.
	Since his contract with Lucifer, Mark notices that the world is filled with little devils called demons and he became able to see them.
Mark	What’s that?
Lucifer	Demons.
	They like to meddle with the little corruption in human’s heart.
	The so-called evil deeds are actually their doings.
Mark	…… even in Churches, there are demons around.
	That looks really strange.
Walter	Anything troubles you?
Mark	Eh, nothing---
Walter	Please, come in.
	We will listen to any kind of worries you have.
Mark	---
Walter	Maybe, you are troubled by the barrier?
Mark	Eh?
Walter	You seem to be in need of a consultation.
Mark	You know something about the devils?
Walter	I guess you can say that.
	We can purify people who has been possessed by inferior devils.
	We also accept consultation for those who have made a contract with a devil.
Mark	Contract with a devil ……
Walter	They demand the soul of the contractor as a compensation for granting wishes.
	Don’t you want to find a way to break free from them?
Mark	Such thing, does it actually exist?
Walter	Anything can be achieved with God’s power and protection.
	More than this and we will attract the public’s attention.
	This way ……
Mark	……
	This place is ……?
Walter	It’s a place where the devil’s power won’t reach.
Mark	Then, about the way to break free from the contract ……
Walter	We have to provide salvation to your corrupted soul.
Mark	--- !?
Beelzebub	There’s no mistake, Walter.
	This guy is a contractor.
Mark	A devil!?
Walter	A God’s envoy working hand in hand with a devil, what a surprise right?
	But this is a necessary evil.
Mark	Lucifer, come!
Lucifer	You sure cry loud for someone who just went inside a barrier.
Beelzebub	As I thought, it’s you, Lucifer.
	Then, this is the one you mentioned before ……?
Lucifer	If you get it, just release him already.
Beelzebub	Unfortunately, that’s not for me to decide.
	I won’t get my lunch if I don’t work properly.
Lucifer	So you’ve been had with food, huh.
Mark	You tricked me?
Walter	You want to break free from that devil right?
	Then there’s only one way.
Mark	--- Tch
Walter	Ha!
Mark	Guh.
Beelzebub	It’s alright.
	No need to worry, there are a lot of other people out there who are willing to sell their soul to become a contractor.
	Don’t be sad.
Mark	So you’re hunting for other contractor’s soul.
Walter	I’m not hunting, I’m just providing salvation.
Mark	That’s the same thing isn’t it ---!
Walter	You’re a stubborn one, aren’t you.
Beelzebub	As expected of Lucifer’s contractor.
Lucifer	Break the barrier, Mark!
Walter	I won’t let you ---
Mark	Ha!
Walter	Beelzebub!
Beelzebub	What do I get?
Walter	Quiche.
Beelzebub	Contract established.
Mark	--- Ugh
Beelzebub	Playtime is over.
	Before Lucifer appears ---
Lucifer	You’re too slow.
	Sorry for the wait, Beelzebub.
Walter	Tch, so troublesome ---
Lucifer	Ha!
Walter	Ugh---
Beelzebub	---Ugh
Mark	Stop it, Lucifer!
Lucifer	Why.
Mark	Anymore than that and they’ll die.
Walter	--- Beelzebub, retreat.
Beelzebub	…… I guess I won’t get lunch today.
Lucifer	Why do you stop me?
Mark	I’m not going to hunt for the soul of other contractors.
Lucifer	You want to break free from the contract’s term, don’t you?
Mark	Of course, I can’t just agree to die in one month.
	But, that’s exactly why I refuse to hunt other people’s soul too.
Lucifer	As usual, you’re such a naïve guy.
	That day, Mark was called out by Walter in front of the Church. Lured by his story, Mark went into the Church, just to find another devil appeared before his eyes.
	Mark was put in a bad position because of the barrier, his soul was hunted in a two against one fight, but Lucifer managed to break in and helped in time. After Walter’s retreat, Mark asked for a way to break the contract with Lucifer.
	Mark decided that he won’t hunt Walter’s soul just to achieve his freedom.
Mark	Father Walter is dead? What is happening ……
Lucifer	How am I supposed to know, I’m not that free.
Beelzebub	There’s another contractor who hunted for Walter’s soul.
	You guys too, be careful around here.
Lucifer	Huh, you meddle too much.
	You even took your time to transform into a fly to warn us, what’s the deal.
Beelzebub	He left behind the last quiche he prepared before his death, I came here for that.
Lucifer	If that’s the case, just go home already.
Mark	……
Lucifer	Nothing is going to change if you just do whatever you’re comfortable with. Other contractors are going to target you.
Mark	I know that.
	But regardless, I ……
Lucifer	Do whatever you want, I don’t care anymore.
Mark	Whatever it is, as long as I can hand over the soul, is it.
Lucifer	…… That’s exactly the point.
Mark	What are human souls for you, devils? A fodder, food, what is it?
Lucifer	It’s akin to a source of power, I guess you can call it our nourishment.
	But, it’s not something that we can’t live without.
Mark	Then what would be the reason for you to go out all the way to establish contract with humans?
Lucifer	It’s just an activity to pass time.
Mark	You’re just bored!?
Lucifer	Don’t you know what kind of existence a devil is?
	We are an existence who seek pleasures from human’s misfortunes, we found amusements in people’s sufferings.
Mark	Somehow, I cannot really see it that way.
	It’s my first time staying with another person for a long period of time and it’s surprisingly easy to get along with you, even though you’re a devil.
Lucifer	Like I said, you’re just too naïve.
	…… Human souls are, bound to Heaven otherwise it’s forsaken.
Mark	Forsaken?
Lucifer	When it is out of reach.
	When your soul’s conscience no longer desires the God’s blessings.
Mark	…… Basically, your soul won’t be able to reach Heaven anymore.
Lucifer	No matter what kind of good places there are out there, you won’t be taken into consideration anymore.
Mark	Lucifer, are you actually not a devil before?
Lucifer	I have nothing to say to you.
Mark	Eh, why.
	I mean, just now ---
Lucifer	Anyway, you won’t remember it anymore.
Mark	Eh ……?
	The day after, Walter’s body was found. Beelzebub who has turned into a fly, went to see Mark to warned him about another contractor who was hunting for souls.
	In the street, noblemen were seen to be oppressing the orphans. Cliff looked at the scene with hatred as he glared at the noblemen with a piercing gaze.
Mark	The demons are behaving weirdly today ……
	They seemed to be gathering at the mansions in this area.
Nobleman A	Have you heard about it?
	The masters and the guards of the mansions around this area were massacred recently.
Nobleman B	That’s very scary.
Nobleman A	But, what kind of thing can possibly pull that off. It doesn’t seem to be a simple falling off between the noblemen.
Mark	……
Cliff	Serves them right, that’s what they deserved.
Mark	Cliff?
Cliff	Oh, it’s you, Mark.
	Such a coincidence, are you working now?
Mark	Ah, yeah.
Cliff	Good luck to you.
Mark	……
	Mark who was following the trails of the demons arrived in front of a row of big mansions.
	Afterwards, he heard from the people passing by, that several people including the masters and guards of the mansions were found dead due to unnatural causes.
	Cliff who was passing by was heard to be laughing, while muttering sinister things and Mark who witnessed the scene was left with nothing but uncomfortable feelings.
Mark	That is ……
Lucifer	It’s Satan.
Mark	--- Huh!
Cliff	Ha!
Mark	--- Cliff!?
Cliff	…… Mark?
Mark	Cliff, you are Satan’s contractor!?
Cliff	Mark, you too.
Lucifer	So, it’s you guys who hunted Walter.
Cliff	Walter? Oh, that old man.
	I don’t really remember but I think that’s his name.
Mark	That’s a lie, Cliff, why would you ---
Cliff	If you’re also a contractor then you should have known why. With other contractor’s soul you can exempt your own soul from being taken.
Mark	Then, in exchange for your own, Walter’s soul is ……?
Cliff	Yeah, with just a soul, your wish can be granted.
Mark	---
Cliff	It’s very convenient that Mark is also a contractor.
	Do you want to help me with my ‘work’?
Mark	Your ‘work’ is ……
Cliff	Using the power of the devils, I will change the world.
	It’s time to turn things around, I will destroy this world.
Mark	Using the power of the devils ----
	The one controlling the demons were you, Cliff?
Cliff	Controlling them, I guess it’s only correct to a certain degree.
	I can only lead them around; they don’t have their own will after all.
	They won’t listen to any order.
Lucifer	Don’t you realize that it was because of those demons that your friend was imprisoned.
Cliff	I don’t really have a choice but to use them.
	I have limited hands on my side you see.
Mark	That kind of thing ---
Cliff	Hey, Mark, you’re already fed up with this world aren’t you.
	You will never gain control no matter how hard you work.
	Every single time, they exploited us, only throw us away after they’re done.
Mark	But, that’s kind of thing.
	There’s no connection between that and people’s misfortune.
	That way of thinking is wrong.
Cliff	Enough with that bullshit.
	Since long time ago, I really hate that childish thinking of yours --!
Mark	--- !
Cliff	Ha!
Mark	Stop it, Cliff!
Lucifer	---
Satan	There’s no need to rush.
	How many years have it been since I last clash with you?
Lucifer	I don’t remember.
	There has been no chance in the past thousand years.
Satan	You’re right.
	I’ve always been waiting for this time to come.
	Finally, after such a long time, come and face me seriously.
	Ha!
Lucifer	--- Ha!
	Give it up.
	You can’t win against me.
Satan	It won’t be interesting if that’s the case.
	Brother.
Mark	Ha!
Cliff	Ha!
	--- Tch!
Mark	Cliff, please listen to me.
Cliff	It’s useless!
	No matter what, you won’t understand!
	Ha!
Mark	--- Tch!
Cliff	Retreat ---
Satan	See you again, Lucifer.
	I’m grateful that you introduced me to a good contractor.
	Thanks to that, every day is not so boring anymore.
Mark	Eh ……?
	Lucifer, you were the one who introduced Satan to Cliff?
Lucifer	I only found him as a suitable person.
Mark	Why, that kind of thing is ---
Lucifer	I remind you, Devils are beings that lead humans to fall into corruption.
Mark	---
Satan	Human, I’ll teach you something good.
	Even if you hunt for other contractor’s soul, you can’t break free from the devils.
Mark	What?
Satan	Humans who formed a contract with a devil will already be devoid of God’s blessings.
	For devils, human souls without blessings are such a pleasant treat.
	No matter what you do, you can’t escape from the devils.
Mark	---
Lucifer	Stop meddling too ---
Satan	Oh, it seems I’m called by my contractor.
Mark	That talk just now, was that true?
Lucifer	If it is, then?
Mark	So you tricked me.
Lucifer	I only did not say the truth.
Mark	But, you tricked me.
Lucifer	You don’t exactly expect honesty from a devil.
Mark	Enough, go away already, I don’t want to see your face anymore.
Lucifer	If I’m gone, Cliff will soon come back for you.
Mark	Go away.
	Mark was surprised to see that Cliff has formed a contract with the devil, Satan.
	Cliff had been hunting for other contractor’s soul to overwrite his own contract. He wished to change and destroy the world which oppressed the weak. Taking into consideration Walter’s soul who has been hunted, Mark refused to give his cooperation.
	The refusal has brought Cliff into a rage and he rushed in to attack Mark. At the same time, Satan rushed in to attack Lucifer. After realizing the difference in power, Cliff pulled off a retreat.
	When Satan passed his gratitude to Lucifer for his encounter with Cliff, Mark started to question and doubt Lucifer’s action. What would be the reason for Lucifer to pull people into despair and corruption.
	At that time, Satan whispered to Mark.
	Even if Mark is to hunt for other contractor’s soul, he would not be able to break free from the devils. The sin for being a contractor was to be devoid of God’s blessings, to be exempted from the cycle of rebirth. Mark who just realized that he was being deceived, casted Lucifer aside.
Lucifer	Tch.
Satan	You seem to be having a rough time.
Lucifer	Don’t come near me.
Satan	Again, you’re going to run away aren’t you.
	This time I will hunt him for real.
Lucifer	---
Satan	Hoo, are you going wreak havoc in Hell?
	If you are banished from here, you’ll really have nowhere else to go.
Lucifer	Get out of my sight.
	In the realm of Hell, Lucifer was caught by Satan in a bad mood. Satan announced that he will be going to collect Mark’s soul and Lucifer was brought to rage.
	At that time, Mark went to see Cliff. One more time, he wanted the chance to talk to him.
Mark	Cliff, let’s talk.
	There must be other methods for us to change the world.
Cliff	You, the only thing you do was being a hindrance to me.
Mark	That’s not my intention!
Cliff	Shut up! I don’t need any lip service!
	You will never save anyone that way!
Mark	--- Ugh, uhh
Cliff	Glad aren’t you, Satan.
	This way, Mark’s soul will now be yours.
Satan	Yeah, I’m going to enjoy looking at Lucifer’s resentful face later.
Cliff	Damn, brother complex.
Satan	Do you even listen to what you said?
	Even this guy was someone akin to a brother to you right.
Cliff	You’re right.
	In the past, this kind of thing is ---
Satan	Thanks to you, I really get to enjoy this.
Cliff	In the end, only devils will follow me ……
	This is goodbye, Mark.
	This time, it will be farewell for real.
Mark	Tch --- Lucifer!
Lucifer	You’re late.
Cliff	Tch.
Satan	--- Ugh.
Mark	Ha!
Cliff	Ugh!
Lucifer	This time, finish him off, Mark!
Mark	---
Satan	Do you think you have the time to look away?!
Lucifer	--- Ugh.
Mark	Lucifer!
Cliff	Satan, obliterate that guy!
Lucifer	--- Tch.
Mark	---
Cliff	Arrghhh.
Mark	I’m sorry, Cliff ---
Satan	Damn it, I’m running out of time.
	At least your head ---
Mark	Stop it!
Lucifer	Wha ---
Satan	Tch, he took all the damage.
Lucifer	What are you doing?
	Who in the right mind will try to protect a devil?
	Now you’re badly injured…
Mark	…… Is that so.
	But that’s alright.
	Regardless, tomorrow will be the end of the one-month time period.
	My soul is yours.
Lucifer	You hunted Cliff’s soul.
	According to the term of the contract, your soul will no longer…
Mark	Ah, is that so ……
	It’s no good.
	My head’s spinning from the loss of blood.
	Still, to lose something like blessings.
	You can still hunt my soul, can’t you?
	It’s okay you know, you already helped me a lot.
	I was angry for being deceived, but I really enjoyed the time I spent with you……
	It was fun……
Lucifer	You really are naïve.
Mark	Goodbye, Lucifer ……
Lucifer	Your soul won’t be saved by sacrificing yourself.
	If God’s blessings really exist, I won’t let go of your hands.
	Again, everything’s falling apart under my hand.
	No matter how many times the cycle of rebirth continues to repeat itself, your soul will no longer……
	Oh God please, if you have to save someone, please save him.
	Don’t let him be just a sacrifice, a victim in this cruel world.
	Oh God please, if you can show your compassion…
Voice from The Sky	Lucifer, we heard your call.
	The Heaven cannot excessively intervene with the Earth as it violates the law of Heaven.
Lucifer	Things like the law of Heaven, how am I supposed to know about that ---
	If even God won’t be willing to save that person.
	There is no need for any blessings.
	The radiance of the soul that has travelled through thousands of years, shining brightly towards the surface of the earth. Bringing to distraught, the accursed heaven’s blessings---
	And when it’s finally freed from the crime it was accused for, his one and only light will be saved.
