Father: Don't you see, Connor*?...
*(katakana: Konaa) Connor (Conor, Conner) - an Irish name meaning "lover of wolves" or lover of hounds" (or, by another source: from Conchobar, meaning: "high will" or "desire") OR Conaire - an ancient Irish name of two legendary High Kings (but it's a male name, while Connor is listed as unisex)
Father: Haa... haa...
Father: The legends we were protecting are for the most part lost.
Father: But both faeries and gods are still present near us.
Connor: The god of the sun Lugh* too?
*(katakana: Ruu) Lugh (Lug, modern Irish: Lú /lu:/) - Irish deity, in mythological texts presented as a hero of the race called Tuatha Dé Danann and High King of the distant past. He is a reflex of the pan-Celtic god of sun Lugus.

Father: This time... please, lend me your power... Lord Lugh...
Father: To...

First tale of the new chapter of golden Myth of the Galaxy!!
Father: To crush this Evil Eye...!!
p04:
Failinis: Lady Connor, please, wait!!!
Failinis: It is dangerous to go back home Aaron!!
Failinis: If anything happens to you, lady Connor, how would I look in your lady mother's eyes!?
Connor: Forgive me, Failinis*... but I have no choice...
*(katakana: Farinishu) Failinis - name of the dog belonging to Lugh.
p05
Connor: My home is under attack...!!
Failinis: ...Tch.
Connor: By the old custom of this land, to receive a proper upbringing I was kept in the house of another people.
Connor: Some time ago, a worker on the verge of his death came to my foster mother's house, saying that my real home had been attacked.
Connor: And that in all the chaos, my parents' death couldn't be confirmed.
Connor: ...I hope...
p06
Connor: I hope so much it's not true!
Connor: Father... Mother...!!
p07
Connor: Eh...!?
Connor: Ah...
Connor: Reins... broke, all of a sudden...
p08
Failinis: Ho, hoo!
Connor: Aah...
Failinis: Were you hurt, lady Connor?
Failinis: I can understand what you feel, but shouldn't we go back together?
Failinis: Lately, it's become dangerous around here.
Failinis: They say that bandits and evil faeries appear here... Tomorrow, we shall go with the rest.
Bandit: No, this won't happen...!!
p09
Bandit: We'll kill you here!
Bandit: And especially this girl...!!!
Failinis: Aren't you a bit quick to finish me off? You petty bunch of crooks!
Failinis: I'm sorry, but this person has no time for the likes of you!!
Failinis: Farewell!!
Bandit: ...Hmph!
p10
Failinis: Wha...
Failinis: A wall of fire...? ...No way...
Failinis: Are they druids*...!?
*Druids - a priestly class in Britain, Ireland and Gaul. Not much is known for certain about their cult practices, according to Greco-Roman sources, they believed in human reincarnation, performed human sacrifice and held a high position in the society.
Druid: ...Hm...
p11
Connor: Failinis...
Failinis: Lady Connor, would you be so kind to take the reins?
Failinis: ...It's all right! I will surely defend you.
Druid: Idiot!! There's no escape...!
Failinis: That's why...!
p12
Failinis: My name is Failinis!
Failinis: I'm bound by a geis* to protect lady Connor until my death!!!
*geis - from Irish mythology and folklore, an obligation or prohibition, similar to being under a vow or spell. If one violates a geis, he may suffer dishonor or even death, while obeying one's geis is believed to bring power.
Druid: Pesky woman...!
Druid: We'll dispose of you first!!!
p13
Failinis: Lightning Slay!!
Bandit: What!? In a single moment!!?
Druid: This woman is tough!!
Failinis: Now, lady Connor!!!
Failinis: Please, go through!!!
Connor: ...But...
Failinis: Hurry, please!!!
Connor: Tch...
Druid: ...Don't you even think!!!!
p14
Failinis: ...What!!?
Connor: ...My body... went stiff... and won't move...?
Failinis: ...You lot...
Failinis: What did you do...!?
p15
Failinis: You... These eyes and patterns...
Failinis: It can't be...
Failinis: ...Evil Eye...?
Failinis: The Evil Eye of Balor*...!!!?
*Balor - in Irish mythology, a king of giants called the Fomorians. He had an eye that could kill in the middle of his forehead, and another one directly opposite at the back, so he couldn't be sneaked
from behind. His race fought with the Tuatha Dé Danann. Lugh defeated them by blinding Balor or (in other version) using Balor's eye against the Fomorians.
Druid: Huh.
Druid: You're as cunning as you look.
Failinis: No way...
Failinis: So it's true he's back...
p16
Failinis: In the age of the myths, Balor, king of the tribe called Fomorians used this power to subdue the flourishing race of the Danu tribe*!!!
*Tuatha Dé Danann is Old Irish for "The peoples of the goddess Danu"
Failinis: They say that the evil power of his eye could be like a storm, even change the ocean into a sea of flames in an instant...
Failinis: Our master was wondering if there are people who wish to revive him... It's...
Druid: It's true. We've passed through many lives to finally summon him successfully.
p17
Druid: This is but a fragment of the lord Balor's power! When he uses his power once again, he shall reign over the world!!
Druid: ...To ensure this...
Failinis: ...Damn it...!!!
Druid: We've got to kill this girl...!!
Connor: Lord Lugh...!!
p20
Connor: ...A child...!?
Druid: No way...
Druid: This child repelled our evil power...!?
Connor: Did he save me? He seems to be around my age...
Connor: How come this child...
Regulus: Guys who won't stop teasing girls are bad boys. The guy named Sisyphus told me so, uncle!
Regulus: Ah! Maybe you'll help me!
p21
Regulus: Know a kid named Connor?
Connor: ...Eh?
Regulus: I'm on my first mission from the Sanctuary and I got lost!!
Regulus: I'm here to protect this kid!
Connor: Em... it's... me! It's my name...!
Regulus: Eh!? Seriously!? ...Weeell...
p22
Regulus: You're the one I'm protecting!?
Regulus: Nice to meet ya!!!
Failinis: ...You fool!! To turn your back at the enemies like this...
Failinis: Observe the situation!!
Regulus: Ah...
Regulus: Oh, yes!
p23
Regulus: Right! Sorry!
Connor: He spoke quickly, but turned to the druids even more so.
Connor: For a glance, I saw his fist shining with strong light.
Connor: It was as if...
Father: Right, Connor.
Father: Lord Lugh is always close beside us.
p24-25
Regulus: Lightning Plasma!!!
Druid: Gyaaah!!
p26
Druid: Kuh...
Druid: ...Everyone, retreat...!!
Connor: It was like the great light of Lord Lugh.
Regulus: Well, then... again, pleased to meet you, Connor! I'm from the Sanctuary of Greece!!
p27
Regulus: Regulus!
Connor: And he himself...
Regulus: Gold Saint of Leo! They call me Regulus!!!
p28
Connor: Somehow...
Connor: Seeing his endlessly cheerful smile...
Failinis: Lady Connor!!!
Regulus: Hey, are you all right!?
Connor: ...I'm all right... It's just I felt a bit weak...
Failinis: ...But... you are...?
Failinis: The Saint sent from the Sanctuary...?
Regulus: Yeah?
p29
Failinis: ...Lady Connor, this person was sent here on your father's request.
Failinis: For a long time, your house has been close with the Sanctuary.
Failinis: When I think of it now, it might be why those druid-like guys attacked...
Connor: I see.
Failinis: However!!
Failinis: For the Sanctuary, to send a child - that I cannot recall!!
Regulus: Huh...? Me...?
Failinis: He is someone strange!!
Failinis: Maybe his strength was enough to become a Saint, but what's with his concentration!?
Failinis: He finally reached the object of his mission only when he'd gotten lost. It's inexcusable!!
Failinis: And what's with all this mud covering him!?
p30
Regulus: It's the first time I left the Sanctuary dressed like this.
Regulus: And I remember all the way I went through.
Failinis: ...First time... So, your first mission!
Failinis: Did the Pope really think he would be enough to complete our task?...
Connor: Failinis, isn't this enough?! The fact is that Regulus saved us both!!
Failinis: ...It... is so, but...
Failinis: I understand.
Failinis: Well, anyhow, we should be getting back now.
Failinis: With the assault of those druids, you must have understood that going on would be dangerous.
Failinis: Come! Let's hurry, before it gets dark!
p31
Connor: Regulus, are you fast on your feet?
Regulus: More than fast.
Connor: How much?
Regulus: I'm faster that this horse.
Connor: ...Tch.
Connor: Failinis... I'm sorry!
Failinis: Lady Connor, I've finished preparing the horse.
Failinis: Uwahh?
p32
Failinis: Lady Connor...!
Failinis: Regulus...! That guy...!!
Failinis: Again!
Failinis: She's a problematic miss...!
p33
Connor: A... amazing... You're faster than any horse from the manor...!!
Connor: But... how?
Connor: How can you run so fast, Regulus?
Regulus: I learned before I knew it, when training to become a Saint... I think?
Connor: Before you knew... You learned how to run like a wind like this...?
Connor: ...But aren't you a child like me?
Connor: How come we're so different, even though we've lived about as long...
Regulus: Yes, but I still don't understand many things.
Regulus: Besides, if there's something you're looking for, you need to grow more nad more stronger!!
Connor: Grow stronger...?
Connor: What on earth are you looking for...?
p34
Regulus: My dead father!!!
Regulus: My dad told me this.
p35
Regulus: Even if you're no longer in this world, you're still in the wind, in the earth, in the living things!
Regulus: That's why I always keep my eyes open wide, not to miss anything and to remember it all!
Regulus: The wind, the earth, and my enemies!!
Regulus: If I remember it all and become stronger, some day I'll surely get close to my dad!
Connor: ...Ah, so?...
Connor: ...Me too...
Connor: ...I must... find my father...!!
Connor: As he was laughing in the setting sun, so radiant, I hid my face.
p36
Connor: As I thought, wasn't he sent by Lord Lugh my father had called upon?
Regulus: Yeah!! We'll do our best!
Crúaich: Hahaha, so it's that young girl.
Crúaich: It seems that my poor bandits didn't kill her, she'll need a greeting...
Crúaich: She's coming to me, in person, together with her powerful protector...
p37
Crúaich: Isn't your daughter unreasonable, as always?
Crúaich: Well? Muirgheas*!!
*(katakana: Moriasu) Muirgheas - Irish name composed from "muir" = "sea" and "gus" = "choice", contracted to Muiris.
p38
Crúaich: It seems that someone absolutely dead cannot hear you.
Druid: ...But, lord Crúaich*... That protector... he called himself the Saint of Athena.
*(katakana: Kuruwahha) Cromm Crúaich, Crom Cruach, also Cenn Cruach or Cenncroithi - a deity in pre-Christian Ireland, known for accepting human sacrifices. His name can be interpreted as "bloody crooked one" or "bloody head" (among other versions). He was depicted as a gold figure surrounded by 12 stone or bronze ones, which might be interpreted as the sun surrounded by the signs of the zodiac, making him a solar deity.
Crúaich: ...Saint of Athena...
Crúaich: I've heard of them.
Crúaich: They are warriors protecting the earth together with Greek goddess, Athena.
Crúaich: They are superhumans, with enough power to crack open the earth and move faster than the speed of sound.
Crúaich: It's not enough to scare me.
p39
Crúaich: With the Evil Eye of Balor residing in my body.
Crúaich: As if there was any more blood in this man...!!
Druid: ...But that guy repelled our power in an instant...
Druid: Hyy...
Crúaich: Shut
.
p40-41
Crúaich: Haha! I didn't think you would be a child like this!!
Crúaich: Warrior of Connor!
p42
Connor: ...Father!!!
Connor: No... It's...
Connor: Fatheeer!!!
Connor: ...It hurts, Regulus!
Connor: Let me go!!
Connor: Regu...
Connor: ...Regulus...?
p43
Crúaich: Ah, Connor, always a tomboy.
Connor: Mister Crúaich... why are you here? Impossible, are you the one who...
Crúaich: Yes. He passed away unexpectedly quickly.
Crúaich: Next, when I kill you and take your blood, the world will belong to me!!
Crúaich: To Crúaich of Balor!!!
Connor: You... cruel...
p44
Regulus: It's enough, Connor!
Regulus: ...I don't fully understand what that uncle is saying.
Regulus: But I know well... that you're in huge grief now.
Regulus: So, don't cry, Connor!
Regulus: I'll crush this guy!!!
With Connor's tears shed for her lost father,
Cosmo of the Leo Gold Saint Regulus burns more and more hot!!
