Act 10 [Cinderella]
~Cinderella: Waltz-Coda~
10. AKT
~Aschenbrödel: Walzer-Coda~
Once upon a time...
...there lived a girl.
She wore tattered clothes...
...and people called her Cinderella.
But with a little magic, she became a beautiful princess...
...and danced with the prince.
Then, when the clock struck twelve...
...leaving behind a glass shoe...
...she returned to being Cinderella.
The prince expressly set out to search for her.
He was finally able to find her...
But...
...did the prince really love her?
Kraehe I remember, I am a raven.
...and I am the real prima donna, princess Kraehe!
What I want, I will take by force if I must.
Fakir Princess Tutu, you don't intend to cease returning to him the pieces of his heart?
Tutu No, because that is the prince's wish.
Are you going to break apart his heart again?
Fakir What if I am?
Tutu I can't allow you to do that.
Fakir Then will you kill me?
Could you kill me?
Tutu That's...
Mytho Stop!
Fakir With the raven right there in front of you, why couldn't you defeat her?
You can't protect Mytho simply by returning his heart to him!
Mytho Fakir!
Tutu But Kraehe is suffering...
Fakir That should be your chance!
I could do it.
And if it came to that, I could kill you as well!
Mytho Tutu, run!
Why must you interfere with the returning of my heart?
Fakir Interfere?
Mytho I want to have my heart back!
No matter what fate is waiting for me...
I...
Fakir?
You're shaking?
Why?
Fakir This is...
Ahiru Why? I turned back into a duck before I knew what was happening...
That's right!
Why?
Why am I not returning to normal?
The pendant!
Drossel That's great, Ahiru-chan!
You make a wonderful protagonist! Never a dull moment!
When you take away the magic, Ahiru, you're just a duck.
Now then, what will you do as a duck, Ahiru?
What can you do? You'll have to show me!
Ahiru Quack...
What should I do?
Without the pendant, I can't become a girl or Tutu!
Where did it go? My pendant...
Fakir Just try to come and get it, princess Tutu!
Mytho Fakir?
You're shaking?
Fakir Don't be ridiculous.
Where are you, princess Tutu?
Hey.
Hey!
Ahiru Quack!
Quack, quack!
I fell asleep!
Quack quack quack, quack quack!
Quack! quack quack quack...
Fakir You're the duck I saw before, aren't you?
Ahiru Quack quack quack quack quack! Quack, Quack!
The pendant!
Quack! Qua-quack, quack, quack!
Fakir What, you like this, huh?
Ahiru Quack quack... Quack!
Quack!
Quack, quack, quack.
Fakir It must be nice to have no sin upon you...
Ahiru Qua... Quack... Quack...
Quack... QUACK!!
Quack...
He has it on...
Fakir Could princess Tutu be one of the girls here?
Waniko I smell a delicious duck here, Neko-sensei!
Neko Please be quiet, Waniko-san.
Fakir Maybe I'm just imagining things.
Ahiru Mytho's so pretty...
He was always pretty...
But now he's even more...
Is that because I've returned part of his heart?
Pique Mytho sure is pretty, isn't he?
Lilie Ahiru must be frustrated!
Pique I wonder if Ahiru's hurt from her one-sided love.
Lilie I hope she is.
Pique It'd be nice if she came back soon.
Lilie Yes, yes. Before she gets over it.
Pique Well, when you think about it, she gets over things quickly.
Lilie Noooo!
Neko Pique-san, Lilie-san.
If you talk during class...
You will both have to marry me!
Or rather, shall I marry all three of you, including the absent Ahiru-san?
That was some spectacular dancing, Mytho-san.
You've begun to express your feelings more than your technique, haven't you?
Mytho Yes.
Neko You're in love, are you not?
Mytho What?
Neko I can tell.
Mytho Love?
Neko How about this? After school, I will give you a special lesson about love.
Ahiru Mytho is...?
Mytho Yes.
Neko Love is a wonderful thing, but there are some things of which you must be careful.
You must take particular care during the mating season...
Ahiru The pendant... The pendant!
It's not here!
He couldn't have taken it in with him...?
Quack!
He's coming out!
What should I do? What should I do?!
Quack!
He did have it, after all.
He's hurt?
No, it's a scar.
The pendant...
If I could just reach it...
Fakir Mytho...
You don't understand anything.
What returning your heart would really mean...
Ahiru Wha...?
Fakir Damn you, Kraehe!
Are you trying to say that I'm not an enemy?!
Ahiru Mytho and Kraehe's weddding?
Fakir is the witness...
Einladung zur Hochzeit
Von Herr Mytho und Fräulein Kraehe
Trauzeuge ist Herr Fakia
Die Hochzeitsfeier findet heute
um Mitternacht in der Kirche statt
Mytho Tonight at midnight...
Come to the church...
Ahiru Fakir, what are you...?
An antiques shop?
Quack!
Fakir Charon.
Charon Fakir?
Fakir Where is the sword?
Charon I haven't seen you in ages, and I get no greeting?
There are many swords in my shop.
Fakir No, that sword.
Lohengrin's sword.
I need that sword.
I have to protect Mytho from the ravens.
Charon I can't give it to you.
Fakir What?
Charon That sword should only be used by a knight.
Fakir You promised that you would give it to me!
Charon That was when you were a child.
Fakir Mytho is getting his heart back.
Princess Tutu has appeared.
The raven has been reborn as well.
All of the legends that I heard from you are becoming real!
If that's the case, then I am the knight in the story, reborn.
Ahiru Fakir is...
The knight reborn?
Eyecatch
Fakir If I am a knight, then I should be able to use Lohengrin's sword!
Charon Fakir, leave Mytho alone.
Fakir What did you say?!
Charon You shouldn't get involved in this abominable story any more than you are already!
Fakir Why are you saying that now?!
On the day my parents died, after I was brought to you...
This is what you told me:
Charon This scar that you have is just like the one passed down in our legends.
I'm sure that you will become strong!
It's proof that you are the reincarnation of a brave knight who always stood by his prince.
Fakir Before I knew it, I came to take pride in that.
In order to protect others, the prince was not even afraid to put himself in harm's way.
Wow, that's amazing!
Then, fate suddenly began to move.
Charon, his heart isn't beating!
Charon...
Charon The prince who lost his heart!
Mythos...
Fakir Mythos is someone who lived in legends! Did you know that?
Mytho I don't know.
Fakir You just don't know anything, do you, prince?
Mytho Sorry.
Fakir Calling you "the prince" is kind of weird...
So how about we just call you "Mytho"? Sounds cool, huh?
Mytho Okay.
Fakir Well then, your name will be Mytho now! That's that!
Mytho had no feelings, except for when he saw those who were weak suffer...
Then, no matter the danger, he would try to protect them without hesitation.
Fakir Mytho, that's dangerous!
Mytho...
Mytho!!
Mytho Fakir.
Fakir Moron.
It's annoying when you space out and do such worthless things!
Mytho Sorry.
Fakir Don't go around trying to save people.
Mytho Okay.
Fakir Just listen to what I tell you.
I'll protect you.
I will protect Mytho.
Because I promised him.
Ahiru He's protecting Mytho? Then why did he try to break apart Mytho's heart?
Charon What you are doing is not for Mytho's sake.
It is for your own sake, isn't it, Fakir?
Fakir What?
Charon Now that the time to fight has finally arrived...
...aren't you just scared that you will follow the same fate as the knight in the story?
Fakir That's not it!
Charon You've just kept this up because you can't help Mytho get his heart back.
I let you go to the Kinkan Academy so that you could dance as you liked...
...but that's because you were scared of fighting!
Fakir You're wrong!
Charon You can't protect Mytho the way you are now!
Fakir Stop!
Charon Get out of here!
Fakir Whatever, then. Any sword will do!
Charon You're going to stop this.
Got that?
Fakir Yes, it's as you say, Charon.
I may be afraid.
But I want to protect him!
That pure, unreliable Mytho...
Ahiru There's a piece nearby...
Charon Fakir!
Ahiru I don't know...
What is right, and what is wrong...?
But I do know that Fakir isn't lying.
I couldn't see anything...
Fakir is just as concerned...
No. Maybe he's even more concerned about Mytho than I am!
Fakir You...
You're seeing me in a pretty disgraceful state here...
Ahiru Quack...
Fakir Are you crying for me?
Ahiru Quack?
Fakir You can have that. You wanted it, right?
Princess Tutu.
I do not accept you.
Ahiru Fakir...
That's right! There's a piece at Charon's house...
Charon But was that really a good thing to do?
Mytho I don't know.
You keep regretting everything you've been doing.
Charon Yes...
Ahiru It's here, just as I thought.
Drossel Now, if you don't hurry, the wedding ceremony will start!
Tutu Charon-san.
Charon Princess Tutu!
You really are...
Tutu Let us dance together, Charon-san.
Charon The story is truly beginning to progress.
But I don't know what I should do.
I keep regretting that I told Fakir all of those old legends.
I'm regretting that I hurt Fakir just now...
I can give that child nothing but regret...
Tutu No, you must be able to believe in him.
Charon Believe in him...
Tutu Yes.
If Fakir takes the path that he believes in...
...I don't think he will regret it, no matter the conclusion.
If you believe in Fakir...
Charon Believe in Fakir?
Mytho I am the feeling of regret.
Charon Princess Tutu...
Thank you. I am no longer uncertain.
Fakir Don't be afraid.
You're turning this page with your own hand.
I... I...
I will not follow the same ignominious fate!
I will change it.
Tutu Prince...
Mytho Princess Tutu!
Tutu I brought a piece of your heart.
Mytho Thank you.
Tutu Are you going to where Kraehe is?
Mytho Yes. I have a feeling that I shouldn't run from this.
Kraehe Thank you, princess Tutu!
Coming all this way to return this piece of heart to my husband...
But I no longer care whether you return the pieces or not.
Tonight, the prince will be mine.
I will have you witness it...
As a sacrifice, that is!
Charon I was waiting for you, Fakir.
Take this, and have no regrets.
Fakir Charon...
Charon My son...
Kraehe How's this, princess Tutu? Don't we look good together?
I've prepared a special seat for you!
Mytho Tutu!
Kraehe First, we shall have the celebratory dance!
I can get rid of princess Tutu right now.
Tutu Mytho...
Kraehe Beautiful prince, you are mine.
Mytho Kraehe, who are you?
Why do you want me to be yours?
Kraehe Because that is our fate.
Mytho Fate...
Whose fate is this?
Kraehe It doesn't matter whose it is.
Fate cannot be changed by anyone.
Fakir Stand down, you filthy raven!
Mytho Fakir...
Kraehe The incompetent fool finally shows!
Tutu Fakir!
Fakir I won't forgive your being near Mytho!
Tutu Kraehe, stop!
Mytho What's wrong? What is causing you pain?
Fakir The stone is back...
What are you doing?!
Hurry up and get out of here!
Or do you want to settle this here?
Tutu I do not wish to fight with you.
Ahiru If I don't hurry up, Fakir and Mytho will catch up!
It would be suspicious if I was lurking around here...
What? No way!
Fakir Hey.
Ahiru Awawaa-
Fakir Don't just say "awawaa."
What are you doing here this late?
Ahiru What? There's only one thing that I could be doing here this late. That.
Fakir That?
Ahiru Yes, that!
Well, see you then.
Fakir Hey. What do you mean by "that"?
What?
Wait.
That pendant...
Ahiru Good night!
Fakir Princess Tutu...
Ahiru What should I do?
Could he have realized?
Drossel My, my. It appears that your true identity has been revealed.
What will you do, princess Tutu?
Preview
Fakir That really surprised me.
Out of all people, it had to be you...
Mytho Ahiru, do you know princess Tutu?
Ahiru The person who Mytho wants to see is princess Tutu, not me.
But...
Rue I wanted to erase my memories of Kraehe and stay as Rue forever...
But still...
Edel This jewel's name is "love."
Feeling I am the feeling of love.
Kraehe The feeling of love, you say?
Tutu Stop, Kraehe!
Drossel Children who love stories, come over here!
