Legault & Matthew
Level C:
LEGAULT: | Hm... And who would you be? |
MATTHEW: | ...... You're Black Fang, right? |
LEGAULT: | Hold on, relax. Former Black Fang. I've nothing to do with them
anymore. |
MATTHEW: | I wonder. Disguise yourself, get close to the enemy... I am familiar
with these duties, as are you. |
LEGAULT: | I understand your point. It is dificult to take a traitor on his
honor, I'll wager. So what are you going to do? Are you going to kill
me? And then tell your friends that I turned my coat on them as well? |
MATTHEW: | I'd love to, but I've no proof that you're an enemy, and so I can't.
But don't forget. As long as you're here, I'll be watching you! |
LEGAULT: | My oh my! I'm not a popular fellow at all. |
Level B:
MATTHEW: | Legault. What was your nickname in the Fang? What kind of work did
you do? |
LEGAULT: | So now I'm your new hobby, is that it? You falling for me? |
MATTHEW: | I'm not in the mood for your jokes. Tell me. |
LEGAULT: | All right, no need to get testy. I was a member of the Black Fang
when you could count us all on two hands. They took me in because of
my nimble agility. In the organization, I was known as the Hurricane.
My job, like everyone else's, was assassination. The only difference
were my targets. I was the one charged with...cleaning house. |
MATTHEW: | Cleaning house? |
LEGAULT: | Yep. As the cleaner, I was responsible for for executing anyone who
betrayed the Fang. Black Fang members never beg for mercy. They'd
rather die than be captured. It's cause they know... What happens to
traitors. You can never run from the cleaner. That's Fang law. I
worked to protect that law. |
MATTHEW: | Really? The Black Fang seems filled with some powerful fellows. And
you? You don't look like much. |
LEGAULT: | Yeah, but you know... People have to sleep sometime. But then you
know all about work like that, don't you? |
MATTHEW: | ...... |
LEGAULT: | Killing the people you've lived and worked with for years. You'll
find yourself hated pretty quickly. That's one thing that makes this
place comfortable. I can just be a simple hanger-on. Are you
satisfied? |
MATTHEW: | ...... |
LEGAULT: | Well, that's all right. I'm not asking that you believe me right
away. |
Level A:
LEGAULT: | Hm? What, you again? More questions for me? No one trusts me. Even
after all that rambling I did earlier. |
MATTHEW: | There's one other important thing I haven't asked you. Why did you
betray the Black Fang? |
LEGAULT: | ...... Do I really have to go into all of this? |
MATTHEW: | ...... |
LEGAULT: | ...OK, I see. I like the Black Fang the way it used to be. The
commander was a father figure, Lloyd, Linus, Jan, and Uhai... There
was nothing to be suspicious of then. We believed in our own
righteousness. We can't go back... Back to the good old days. You
understand, right? Right? |
MATTHEW: | ...... |
LEGAULT: | Sonia's arrival was the beginning of the end. The change came
slowly... The Fang rotted away bit by bit. And it was all the doing
of one creepy villain, Nergal... The Fang changed. And as it changed,
so did our work. |
MATTHEW: | ...... |
LEGAULT: | Those who had no taste for killing, the wounded who couldn't work...
We started receiving orders to kill these innocents, too. So... I was
ordered by some stranger to kill a wounded companion of mine. Her
name was Aesha. A woman I'd work with for years. |
MATTHEW: | ...... |
LEGAULT: | She'd made a mistake, and her wound cost her her skill at killing.
Her career as an assassin was over. But she shouldn't have to die for
that. She could have lived in some village somewhere... She should
have had many days of happiness ahead of her... But...... |
MATTHEW: | ...... |
LEGAULT: | I, with this hand, I...took her life. That's when it started. That's
when I started thinking about getting out. |
MATTHEW: | ...... |
LEGAULT: | That's it. You satisfied? |
MATTHEW: | ...Uhm... Legault? |
LEGAULT: | Mm? |
MATTHEW: | I'm sorry. |
LEGAULT: | What's this? Hearing you say that just made my day. |
MATTHEW: | Don't get the wrong idea. I don't trust you any more than before.
But... Everyone's got a place in their hearts that they don't want to
touch. ...That's it. |
LEGAULT: | Eh... Matthew, you're a good kid. It's a shame to waste you as a spy. |
MATTHEW: | Oh, shut up. |
