The Hunter in White

  • I came to this land to prevent the evil doings of my sworn enemy, Kudlak.
  • He seems to be selling a power-boosting beverage of sorts to low-class demons on a large scale.
  • This "Red Soul," as he calls it... What do you suppose the main ingredient is?
  • ...It is blood. Blood from humans who hold demons' Knowledge, no less.
  • Everyone has a role to play in life. My role is the hunter, and Kudlak is my prey.
  • One must not abandon their role and seek power beyond their natural capabilities.
  • You, as one who is accompanied by and controls many demons, can surely agree, yes?
  • I am doing my utmost to prevent the creation of more Red Soul, but... I'm afraid that my main goal of eliminating Kudlak has fallen by the wayside.
  • Kudlak and I have been enemies since time immemorial. As soon as he is struck down, he will be resurrected.
  • But with your power, perhaps you can drive him away from this land. Will you take on this task in my place?
  • I knew you would understand, for I can tell that you are also a hunter.
  • In my reconnaissance, I have discovered Kudlak to be currently taking residence in an abandoned building near a theater in Kabukicho.
  • I am sure he will try to lure you in as a customer, but do not be fooled.
  • I will be counting on you to see this through.
  • I see... I thought you would understand.
  • All beings, human and demon alike, live by ruling and being ruled.
  • Kudlak is attempting to disrupt the very order of the world.
  • It seems you have changed your mind. A wise decision.
  • Kudlak and I have long been at odds. But now, I would like to borrow your power.
  • Deal with Kudlak in my place.
  • In my reconnaissance, I have discovered Kudlak to be currently taking residence in an abandoned building near a theater in Kabukicho.
  • I am sure he will try to lure you in as a customer, but do not be fooled.
  • Hmm, I sense a suspicious bloodlust...
  • I see... You met with Kudlak and were seduced by his trickery.
  • Then I have no choice. I will slay all those who side with vampires!
  • (hero)... I see. So you are the fabled demon who has obtained Knowledge...
  • There is something about you... Have you already fallen for Kudlak's trickery!?
  • How disheartening...
  • I do not know what kind of poison Kudlak may have sullied your mind with, but are you willing to consider another perspective?
  • I see... I admit that I admire your unshakable resolve.
  • Now... With this sword, I will strike down all those who side with vampires!
  • I appreciate your open-mindedness.
  • Kudlak seems to be distributing a beverage that can temporarily boost a demon's abilities.
  • The raw material is blood drawn from humans who hold demons' Knowledge.
  • It is a way for demons who cannot return to being Nahobino to use humans as a means of alleviating their own troubles.
  • Everyone has a role to play in life. My role is the hunter, and Kudlak is my prey.
  • One must not abandon their role and seek power beyond their natural capabilities.
  • That is why I plan to get ahead of Kudlak and rid this land of the humans that provide his supply.
  • I will not tolerate the miscreant humans who have infiltrated this netherworld, nor the demons who wish to use them for their own duplicitous means.
  • Eliminating Kudlak himself has proven difficult, however, for there exists an ancient curse between us.
  • That is where I ask for your cooperation. I believe that with your power, we can drive him away from this land.
  • It is inappropriate for a demon as powerful as yourself to be in the service of a cretin like Kudlak anyhow.
  • How about it? Will you free yourself from Kudlak's clutches and join my cause instead?
  • Well said—like a true, natural-born hunter.
  • I believe Kudlak has taken up residence in Kabukicho. I implore you to hurry.
  • The battle between Kudlak and myself has been ongoing since time immemorial, and it will never end.
  • Even if you are to defeat him, he will surely reappear eventually.
  • But, at the very least, we can put a stop to his illicit dealings. So let us get on with it.
  • Urgh...
  • There are those who rule and those who are ruled... That is the way of the world...
  • I suppose man has attained rule over nature, thus reaching the point he finds himself today...
  • Should that balance continue to tip, the world will be swallowed by disorder...
  • Are you prepared to accept that future...?
  • The smell of the wind in the netherworld has changed... It seems you have successfully defeated Kudlak.
  • I must say, your report was quite interesting.
  • The world is not just for the chosen few... This is along the lines of what he said, yes?
  • You too are ruled by these so-called "chosen few." Do you think the ruled are unfortunate?
  • Because I do not.
  • Without the disparity that exists between the rulers and the ruled, neither man nor demon would see the prosperity there is today.
  • Rule begets order, and order in turn begets prosperity.
  • If the world lacked order and I were to succeed in vanquishing evil, Kudlak himself would not exist to spout his musings.
  • I see the dignity of a king of kings in your gaze...
  • I am not simply a man of words. I will serve those I deem worthy of ruling.
  • I am Genma Kresnik. Let us cleanse the evils of this world!
  • But first, coordinate with your comrades and make room for me. I am not one to cramp myself into spaces I cannot fit.
  • Ah, but it seems you already carry a piece of my spirit with you.
  • Then I shall remain here until its duty is fulfilled.
  • Now, are you ready for me to join?
  • Very good. Then I shall go with you.
  • Hmm, I sense a suspicious bloodlust...
  • It seems you have chosen to go down the wrong path...
  • It was truly foolish of me to have placed my trust in you...
  • Had I detected your true nature at our first encounter, I would have cut you down where you stood.
