Act 11 [La Sylphide]
11. AKT
~La Sylphide~
Once upon a time...
...there lived a girl with unbridled wings.
There was a man who loved her.
He thought that if he bound her wings...
...he would never have to be separated from her, for even an instant.
But when he covered her wings with a magical shawl...
...her wings suddenly fell off...
...and the girl died.
The man did not know...
...that the girl's wings were the source of her life.
Drossel Now then, now then...
All of those necessary in our story have finally gathered together.
The prince who cannot feel love...
The knight afraid of death...
The unprepared villain...
And the princess whose love cannot be fulfilled...
It seems like something is still missing.
Now, go on.
And this time, don't start taking interest in the hearts of the humans.
Kuma Excuse me...
Could you please take this for me?
Edel It is quite pretty.
Kuma This jewel's name is "Love."
Edel Love?
Please reconsider relinquishing it.
It looks quite good on you.
Kuma No, I don't have the right to carry this.
I never had it, from the beginning...
Edel I see.
Kuma Thank you.
Fakir Princess... Tutu!
That girl?
Tutu I do not wish to fight with you.
Fakir Hmph!
It doesn't matter who princess Tutu is!
I will protect Mytho myself!
I will protect him from that monster raven!
Without fear!
Ahiru I wonder if he really did figure it out...
Pique You've been sighing all morning!
Lilie Poor girl, it looks like the wound from your unfulfilled love is quite deep!
Pique You look like you're having fun.
Lilie You lie!
Ahiru Thank you for worrying about me.
But this isn't about unfulfilled love...
Lilie It's okay! We understand. You don't have to say anything!
Pique Anyway, revenge, revenge!
You'll just have to get to it!
Lilie That's right. You're going to get to it, right, Ahiru?
First, you have to make him look at you!
Pique Well then, it'll have to be a present!
Lilie That might be good!
You can find out the other person's feelings that way.
Mytho Really?
Ahiru Mytho!
Pique Fakir-sama too?
Ahiru Fakir?
Mytho Is it true that you can find out another person's feelings by giving them a present?
Pique Oh my, you heard us?
Lilie He heard us.
Pique If you give him a present now, your true intentions will be obvious!
Mytho By a present, do you mean just anything?
Lilie He's trying to feel us out!
Pique How should we answer him?
Mytho If it was for you, Ahiru, what would you like?
Pique Ahiru would simply like ANYTHING!
Lilie if it's for her, anything and everything!
Pique As long as you put love into it...
Lilie A jewel or a gold bar!
Mytho Love...
So you need love?
Neko Mytho-san.
You had a special lesson about love yesterday...
But it seems that you need a special lesson about true love as well.
Mytho Love and true love are different?
Neko Of course!
If you cannot understand that...
You cannot get m-married!
Fakir-san, would you like to join our lesson?
Fakir I'll pass.
Neko Well then, Mytho-san, let us go.
Presents are very suitable, but it is rude to give things such as flea collars as presents.
Ahiru He did figure it out, after all...?
Fakir.
Fakir I'd like to ask you something.
Come.
Ahiru What do you want to ask?
Fakir Princess Tutu!
Ahiru Qu-
Fakir You are her, aren't you?
That really surprised me.
Out of all people, it had to be you...
Ahiru I'd like to ask you something as well.
You're fighting to protect Mytho, right?
Then why did you try to break apart his heart?
Why...
Fakir That doesn't matter anymore.
The story can no longer be stopped.
Ahiru The story?
Fakir If you're going to return his heart to him, go ahead.
No matter what conclusion that brings us to...
I will protect Mytho.
Ahiru Then if we combine our power...
Fakir I decline.
Ahiru Why?
Fakir I don't trust you.
Rue Mytho...
If you get any more of your heart back...
I'm sure you'll drift away from me.
I am a raven. Your enemy!
Even though I love you so...
I wanted to erase my memories of Kraehe and stay as Rue forever...
But still...
Edel Would you like a jewel?
Would you like a jewel as a present for the person you love?
Welcome.
Rue You're...
Edel It has been a while, Rue.
Mytho A present?
Edel Has this caught your eye?
This jewel's name is "love."
Mytho Love...
Rue My, it seems wonderful.
Edel If you like it that much, I will give it to you.
Mytho Are you sure?
Edel Go ahead.
It is something that I do not need.
Rue Why don't you take it, Mytho?
Mytho Okay.
Edel However... this jewel is strong, but easily hurt.
It is beautiful, but easily sullied.
Struggles over it have led to death.
Please take proper care with it.
Rue You like it that much?
Mytho Yes.
Rue So, you're going to give that to me, right?
Mytho Rue.
Sorry, this is...
Rue Just kidding.
Yes, I wonder who the recipient could be?
Mytho That's...
Rue Can I look at it for a minute?
Mytho Sure.
Rue It's beautiful, but it also lacks something important.
What could that be?
Mytho Really?
Rue I'm sorry, this is so important...
Hey, lend this to me for the night?
I'll fix it up so that it's even prettier.
I'll make it so that it binds the heart of the person you love to you.
Mytho Okay.
Rue Look forward to it, okay?
Kraehe Mytho...
I won't give you up to anyone!
I won't give you up!
Drossel Good, good.
Another essential piece of the story has come into play.
Love seething with hate...
This is an interesting development, isn't it?
Ahiru Strangely enough, although Fakir found out about me...
I actually feel calmer now.
Fakir I don't trust you.
Ahiru Fakir is always thinking alone...
Deciding alone...
Fighting alone...
Alone...
Crying alone...
He never shows his true face to me.
Being in Fakir's arms...
It was warm.
That must be the real Fakir.
Mytho Fakir.
Fakir What?
Mytho I thought I'd give a present to Tutu.
Fakir I see.
Mytho You're not mad?
Fakir Do what you want.
Mytho Please don't turn your sword against Tutu.
Promise me?
Fakir I can't make that promise.
Neko Okay, please don't hunch over.
Ahiru Yes!
Rue Thanks for waiting.
How is it?
Mytho Ahh, it's wonderful!
Rue Isn't it?
If you give this to the person you love, it will bind her heart to you...
...forever.
Mytho Thank you, Rue.
Eyecatch
Ahiru Ahh, I'd like to try going home on time for once...
Mytho...
Fakir Mytho!
Ahiru What was that?
I don't know what's going on, but I have to go after him!
Protecting the prince is princess Tutu's...
Thunder?
Mytho didn't have an umbrella with him, did he?
Where could he have gone?
Mytho Princess Tutu...
Where could she be?
Ahiru Where did he go...?
Edel Would you like a jewel?
Ahiru Edel-san!
Hello!
Edel It's been a while, Ahiru.
Ahiru Now that you mention it, we haven't met for a while.
Actually, Edel-san, have you seen Mytho?
Edel Mytho is searching for the person to give his present to.
Ahiru What? Present?
Mytho Is it true that you can find out another person's feelings by giving them a present?
How you feel about me...
I want to know that.
Tutu I...
I...
Ahiru The person to give his present to?
I see, Rue-chan, huh?
Since he got his heart back, he must want to know how Rue-chan feels about him!
Yeah, that must be it.
But if it was for Tutu...
Even if so, it would be for Tutu, not me, Ahiru.
So it has nothing to do with me.
It has nothing to do with me...
Thank you, Edel-san!
Maybe he's at a place where he met with Tutu...
Ahiru Mytho!
Mytho... Where are you?
Mytho Tutu... I can't see you?
Princess Tutu...
Tutu...
Ahiru Mytho!
Mytho Ahiru!
Ahiru Mytho...
Mytho Why are you here?
Ahiru Ah, it seems like it's going to rain...
And I figured you probably didn't have an umbrella...
Are you waiting for someone?
Mytho Yes.
Princess Tutu.
Ahiru, do you know princess Tutu?
Ahiru Huh? Ah...
No, I don't know her...
Mytho I see.
Ahiru Ummm...
Mytho Yes?
Ahiru Please use this.
Mytho Thank you.
Ahiru It would be nice if you could see her, huh?
Mytho Yes.
Ahiru Bye!
Ahiru The one that Mytho wants to see is princess Tutu, not me!
But...
Drossel My, my! That thought is dangerous!
It's really quite dangerous!
Is this all right, princess Tutu?
Tutu Prince...
Are you looking for someone?
Mytho Tutu!
Tutu Prince...
Mytho I finally get to see you.
I have something for you.
Tutu How wonderful!
Mytho I'd like you to take this.
Tutu If that is your wish, prince.
Mytho I'll put it on for you.
Tutu Okay.
Thank you.
Mytho This is strange.
Tutu What is?
Mytho I was told that you can understand someone's feelings if you give them a present.
But I still don't know how you feel, Tutu.
How you feel about me...
Tutu That's...
Mytho But you're happy, so that's okay.
Tutu Prince...
This is...?
A piece of heart.
Come on out.
What feeling are you?
Feeling I am the feeling of love.
Tutu Feeling of love...
Mytho You are?
Tutu You don't have to wander about anymore.
The place you should be is right here.
Feeling Thank goodness.
It was so dark inside that jewel, and a terrible raven was...
Tutu Kraehe!
Kraehe The feeling of love, you say?
I had intended to finish off princess Tutu, but...
This is quite a find.
And now, to shame you as well.
Tutu What are you going to do, Kraehe?
Kraehe What?
Tutu Fakir!
Fakir Get away from him, you monster raven!
Drossel My, my. This is dangerous!
This course of action is quite dangerous!
Here we have the knight reborn...
But he's just a human. Is that okay?
But the princess is just a duck.
And the prince is just a story.
It's dangerous not to know your role!
Oh my, princess Kraehe, what are you?
Are you really the villain?
Are you really a monster raven?
This is dangerous! Very dangerous!
It's dangerous not to know your role!
Fakir Stay away from Mytho!
Begone, raven!
Kraehe!
Tutu Fakir!
Drossel My, my! How weak you are!
If you're a knight, you're sworn to defeat evil without fear!
If you're a villain, you have to make to princess cry!
If you're a princess, you have to save the prince with the power of love!
If you're a prince, you have to use your wisdom and courage to...
Oh, that's impossible.
Kraehe I am princess Kraehe!
What I want, I will take by force!
Tutu Kraehe, what are you doing?
Fakir Kraehe!
Kraehe How's this, princess Tutu?
How does it feel to be bound by the prince's feelings?
It hurts, does it not?
That is how strongly he feels for you.
I won't forgive this.
Tutu Stop, Kraehe!
You love the prince, don't you?
Why...?!
Why would you do something so cruel?
Drossel My, my!
You were shamed by your enemy, and had the prince stolen from you!
What a rough life!
Preview
Ahiru When I lost this pendant before, you held it for me, didn't you, Fakir?
Will you hold it for me once more?
Fakir She couldn't be... That duck...?
Ahiru Quack!
Rue You've returned to being a puppet...
...since I pulled out that feeling.
Mytho But that knight couldn't save himself from the ravens...
He was torn in two by the ravens' claws!
A good-for-nothing who could only talk about protecting the prince!
Ahiru Please, stop doing this!
Drossel Children who love stories, come over here!
