(“Dai nana no hakaba… saa, fukushuugeki no hajimari da…”)

("Watch where you step on.")
("Okay.")
("Are you okay? Not scared, are you?")
("I'm fine, and I'm actually really excited right now.
You know, the forest is such a vast world!")
("Then today I'll show you the place I mentioned before.
Let's go!")
("Okay!")

Up is a small round night sky,
in a wavering night of blue moon.
Cursing God's name,
he sings at the bottom of the well...

["The deteriorating village is almost like a graveyard."]
["Elise, every fairytale starts at a graveyard."]

-Why isn't there anyone in this village anymore?
That's because everyone already died away in the past.
-Then how did all the villagers end up dying?
That's because there was a plague called the Black Death.
-Then why were a mother and her child still in the foresty village?
That's because a Water Well called out to them.
-Then for what purpose does the Well call out to people?
Calling out to people is precisely what the Well was born to do.

Ah, digging graves, digging more and more graves,
no matter how many graves they dug, there wasn't enough;
what a wretched period!
Ah, corpses and lumps of earth, corpses and lumps of earth,
Mille-feuille of corpses and earth;
what an atrocious period!

"Life is to live, to multiply, to kill, and to raid!"
as sung by the Well.

["When they have over-multiplied,
they'll just end up killing their host."]
["It's the same relationship between the humans and the earth.
Now, shall we continue the story?"]

[A forest shrouded in night's gloomy darkness]

("Is it really here?")
("How am I supposed to know?")
("Gosh, what a creepy forest this is!")
("Look! Isn't that the rumored Thuringen witch's kid?")
("Oh! He's heading our way!")
("Yep.")

Stepping on the forest moss soaked in night dew,
that boy makes such a light but sad sound as he walks.

The voice calling out to him is so vulgar and coarse,
but the boy wouldn't be able to tell.
Ah, the boy grew up without knowing
any of the world's crimes or the society's spites.

Just like how birds have wings,
night has its songs.
Good morning now, and a rose garden,
as God called to him from his back.

"In that dazzling period, you are laughing right now.
Not resenting anybody, not regretting dying,
we'll reunite there for sure."
[A fairytale of light and darkness]

[Seventh Graveyard. The play of revenge will now start.]
