Hassan of the Cursed Arm
Old Man of the Mountain
Mash:
A...kidnapper?
Dr. Roman:
Well, there have been many incidents of child abduction in this town recently.
Dr. Roman:
So a request for an investigation came to us from Emperor Nero.
Mash:
I see.
In that case, I am willing to offer my cooperation.
Mash:
By the way, have you found any clues?
Dr. Roman:
It's a quite cunning group so the Emperor's men haven't been able to track them.
Mash:
If we don't know the location of their base, then there's not much we can do...
Dr. Roman:
So, that's why you were selected among many, Fujimaru.
Dr. Roman:
We have a professional in that field.
It's up to you, "Old Man of the Mountain."
Hassan:
–Hassan-i Sabbah, reporting.
Fujimaru 1:
Ohh, you're here already!?
Fujimaru 2:
Yup. Greetings.
Hassan:
–Master, I've already tracked them down.
No matter how cunning they are in covering their tracks,
Hassan:
they can't trick the eyes of the Assassin class Heroic Spirits.
Mash:
Excellent. I'm worried about the children, Senpai!
Let's hurry!!
Kidnapper:
What!?
How'd you bastards find us here!?
Hassan:
–Ha! You're a joke.
Confidence in that level of hiding...
Hassan:
You're third-rate bandits at best.
Get a life, or change your ways right here.
Hassan:
Lucky for you, this Master is kind.
Surrender and you won't be hurt.
Kidnapper:
Huh. Don't be cocky, bonehead!
Get them, guys!!
--BATTLE--:
Mash:
I neutralized the enemy group, Master.
I will tie them up on this tree.
Hassan:
I don't see any children...Their headquarters is somewhere else?
Hassan:
I will guide you there, Master.
The cornered enemy may be dangerous.
Hassan:
–Hurry!
Children:
Wahhhh...I want to go home...
Kidnapper:
Hey, walk straight, stupid brats!!
You better stop crying!
Kidnapper:
What's the problem? We're gonna feed all you hungry rascals that have nothing to live on.
Kidnapper:
Let's do the best to get along, huh?
I'll raise you all to be proper assassins!
Hassan:
—
Mash:
That's enough!!
Free the children!!
Kidnapper:
Damn!! Don't get cocky!!
Slaughter them all!!
--BATTLE--:
Mash:
The bandits have been routed.
You are the only one left. Please surrender.
Kidnapper:
D-Damn!! In that case...!
Hey, can't you see this right here!?
Child:
Waaaaaah!!
Mash:
Hostage!?
How foul...!!
Fujimaru 1:
Despicable!!
Fujimaru 2:
How could you!!
Kidnapper:
Oh, shout as you please!!
See ya...!! Hey!! Let's go!!
Kidnapper:
What!?
The torch is out...!?
Hassan:
"Zabaniya"
Kidnapper:
Wha!?
G-Gah...
Hassan:
Foolish. All too foolish. I do not mean using a child as a shield, or kidnapping children.
Hassan:
Nothing is as foolish as the one who cannot even measure talent trying to raise an assassin.
Hassan:
That child is unfit to be a killer.
Such incompetence bringing children to this place—
Hassan:
You are no longer worthy of living.
Disappear into the eternal darkness.
Mash:
Hassan!!
Child:
Wahhhh!!
That was scary...!!
Fujimaru 1:
There, there. That was scary.
Fujimaru 2:
Uncle Hassan rescued you.
Child:
...Mister?
Hassan:
—
Mission accomplished, Master. So I will depart now.
Mash:
Hassan...Was he a bit reluctant about the request this time...?
Dr. Roman:
...Well, in a way he's a Servant toosimilar with those bandits just now...
Dr. Roman:
Our idea of helping people and his idea of helping people may perhaps be different.
Child:
...Um, Miss.Are you friends with that mister just now?
Mash:
Y-Yes.He's like a...friend.
Child:
Then, give him my thanks.
Tell him thank you, white-faced mister.
Child:
I don't know how to describe it but that guy...seemed to be really, really angry for me...
Mash:
—Sure, got it.
I will definitely tell him.
Dr. Roman:
Ah, Fujimaru, Emperor Nero wanted to express her thanks for the other day. I'll put her through.
Nero:
Ohhh!! Fujimaru!!
You did great the other day. Praiseworthy!
Fujimaru 1:
Well, Hassan...Hassan?
Fujimaru 2:
It's all thanks to Hassan.
Nero:
Umu, this Hassan fellow has been really helpful!!
Nero:
Since then, he's been catching bandits and kidnappers for me every day.
Nero:
Thanks to him, the crime rate of my beloved Rome has bottomed out!! I'm thrilled!!
Dr. Roman:
Huh!?
Every day since then...?
Mash:
Come to think of it, I haven't seen Hassan since then.
Perhaps he's been hunting criminals...!?
Dr. Roman:
...Beats me, you know...
Maybe Hassan is a good guy at heart...?
