Despera screenplay translations.
As you may not know, included in Despera are three pages of screenplay from various parts of the story. I've translated that.
Takeshita: So I was saying...I was asking if she could live with me.
Mistress, in a low and cold voice.
Mistress: If you're that devoted to her, I can't not consider it...I suppose.
Takeshita takes out a handful of bankrolls and leaves them on the tatami mat. Money like that changes the mistress' expression.
Takeshita: If this isn't enough, let me know later.
Mistress, to a girl crouching in a dark corner of the room
Mistress: Ain-chan. You're going to this person's place.
The girl looks up at Takeshita anxiously.
Page 46 Scene: Asakusa Juunikai, brothel halls, evening
The girl walks behind Takeshita for several steps.
Takeshita's shouts don't reach Ain. Opposite to the tank turning to face her at the squadron's vanguard, Ain breaks into a run.
Takeshita: Stop! Ain!
Free from gravity's spell, Ain soars. She lands on the moving tank, looking crazy and laughing at her inescapable situation.
The tank behind the first faces Ain and points the barrels of its machine guns at her. Ain points her finger at that tank.
Takeshita, too dazzled by the brightness of the light, covers his eyes with his palms.
Takeshita: That light...! It's Tesla-sensei's...!
An extraordinary photoelectric spark impulse accompanied by a thunderous roar surges out of Ain's entire body in violent torrent. The troops aboard the tanks are trapped by their hatches and open them in an attempt to escape, but they are paralyzed by the terrible ferocity of the photoelectric effect.
Ain: (monologuing) When I become a grown woman, I think he'll talk to me more. That's right, isn't it...? (aside) But when the hell am I going to become a grown woman?
...you're my "father", aren't you?
Ain: (mono.) It's...it's time to complete you, Father, surely...so I'll set to work soon, Father.
Ain lies down and appears to be having a pleasant dream. The device she made, "Father", lacking exterior packaging, with its internal anatomy laid bare, waits for the moment it will be brought to life.
Page 23 Scene: Asakusa Park, Gourd Pond, Evening
Standing before Takeshita is a young and tan-skinned woman. She is a waitress on Nantendou's second floor.
Takeshita: (shock) There's a bomb laid at the Juunikai.
That's all there is for now.
The first scene appears to be Takeshita buying Ain's freedom with his massive amounts of cash he won from predicting the stocks.
The second scene is obviously Electricity Girl vs the Tank Squadron
And the last two are rather nebulous in context at the time of writing, but Ain, similar to lain, is building a machine she has called "Father" (although the proper name of lain's machine was Progenitis), although for seemingly a different purpose. Meanwhile, Takeshita is speaking to a waitress he knows (probably Akira Honda, a character introduced later) after realizing there is a bomb under the Juunikai. This scene is probably cut into pieces and the earlier part of the conversation is at the time of writing lost.
Nantendou is a bookshop in Asakusa.
PS These are not my crappy scans. Someone else did them.
