Booklet Text[]
Welcome to "the forest theater"
Was it "Nice to meet you", I wonder? Or "Long time no see"?
...Either one is fine, when it comes to this
I am the one who was once called "Ma"
You've heard and told that rumor as well, have you?
That rumor that a vast inheritance is hidden in the theater
I'll say before anything else that it isn't true
If you've come here with the intention of finding the inheritance,
I recommend that you turn right around and run back home as fast as you can
But if that isn't the case...
Since you're here anyway, care to watch some films with me?
While we're at it, I'll tell you a little bit
About several of the incidents that have occurred here in the Evillious region
And one sorceress
We're screening 15 works today
I wonder if you'll like them?
I. Moonlit Bear
[Original Sin]
This was around the time this forest was still called "The Forest of Held"...
A young married couple of woodcutters lived there
I don't know the name of her husband, but the wife's name was... Eve. Yes, Eve Moonlit. I'm pretty sure it was a name like that
She committed "sin" in this forest
She clung to the love she had with her husband. She became arrogant for her desires being granted
She neglected the things she had to do and her children died. She was jealous of people who were happy
Eventually that transformed into anger. She came to want what she had lost
And, out of hunger, she gathered some fruits
That became the beginning of everything
II. Tale of Abandonment on a Moonlit Night
[Karma]
Twins who advanced through the forest, led there by their parents
A lone boy and a lone girl
They simply walked without being told their destination
On a night when the moon had waned
I've looked over every document I could for the names of the twins introduced in this story, but in the end, I couldn't find them
Maybe that's because their existence had been thoroughly concealed by the parents who raised them
Nowdays there's no way to learn how they could do such a deed, their reasons, or the mental state they were in
I wonder, did they really exist to begin with?
III. Chrono Story
[Boredom]
The twins
What was reflected in their eyes as they gazed at their burning family?
They released everything and then disappeared
The sorceress
Those days when she was still "Elluka Clockworker" in the true meaning of the name
Having lost everything to the disaster two years before, she was given in its place the "boredom" that could also be called eternity
The request that she received from the god who protected the forest... her friend, "The Tree of Held", had been just right for filling in that "boredom".
It's very regrettable that close to a thousand years has passed since then, yet she still hasn't carried out that request
IV. The Lunacy of Duke Venomania
[Lust]
In order to spend her eternal "boredom" pleasantly, Elluka began to need a certain process
This is because, distant and long as it might be when compared to ordinary humans, as something that had a form, her body was slowly but surely decaying
To prevent that, she needed to periodically "exchange" her body with a new one
And she's a woman of course, so perhaps you can appreciate that she wanted an appearance that was always beautiful?
Sateriasis Venomania...
The event that he caused had left deep wounds in the hearts of the women who had been his victims
Lukana Octo was one of them
Her very body had become tainted by a demon... it's easy to guess that to one as pure as her, that was an unbearable thing
For her sake, Elluka took custody of her body and her suffering
V. Evil Food Eater Conchita
[Surfeit]
Even among those that were swayed by the Deadly Sins, Banica Conchita was perhaps one of the more fortunate
Because she enforced her hopes and convictions up until the very end
Having obtained the body of Lukana Octo, the search for the Vessels of Deadly Sin became somewhat simpler for Elluka
The magical power of Lust that remained in her body became an aid in that
Even so, this time the twin servants that clung to Banica got in the way of her retrieving the vessel of Gluttony
As for why those twins were in the Beelzenian Empire, so far from their birthplace... I can't say for certain
In my personal opinion, perhaps they saw in Banica a "trace of their mother".
VI. Twiright Prank
[Mischief]
There were a lot of international disputes in Evillious at the time, and continuous warfare
But to Elluka, this was also an era where she could regain her long lost humanity
Because in the height of battle, Elluka had met people that she could call friends
Her slight happiness then had been crushed in the moment that she saw the newborns that one of her friends, Anne, had given birth to
Because she'd realized those babies looked identical to another set of abominable twins
And because she'd realized that one of them was being swayed by the deadly sin of Pride
VII. The Daughter of Evil
[Hubris]
Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche. The Lucifenian princess who was later called "The Daughter of Evil"
When she was very young, Elluka had forcibly torn a deadly sin away from her
It resulted in Riliane losing her memories, but surely that had driven off a great tragedy
But that ended up not being so
She committed heinous deeds when she grew up
They ended up provoking the revolt of her people
It was nothing more than Elluka's own error that she couldn't see how the tentacles of "sin" extended even to the twin's younger brother
VIII. The Servant of Evil
[Loyal]
There's a history that I expect you've learned
It's not the case that all of it is telling the truth
Allen Avadonia was a servant of Princess Riliane
It's thought that during the Lucifenian revolution he escaped from the palace, his whereabouts afterwards a mystery
Allen Avadonia's name doesn't appear in textbooks,
But he is a figure who yet bears a piece of history
But that's not worth worrying about
To Elluka, the important matter was that she couldn't obtain the vessel of deadly sin, "The Four Mirrors"
To me, the important matter is that he did not become one of the gears
IX. Regret Message
[A Spoken Message]
Traditions, legends, folklore...
I wonder how humans can find hope in the works they themselves brought forth?
I would think that salvation doesn't even exist there
One night
A lone girl stood by the seaside
She too was someone who clung to that hope by the name of "tradition"
Thinking that she had been saved was nothing more than her self-delusion
Even if she set adrift her "guilt", "sin" certainly isn't something you can wash away
Well, I think it's probably for the best that she decided not to turn around
X. Daughter of White
[Powerless]
The story once again begins from the forest
Clarith was a descendant of the Netsuma clan who had been brought up in Elphegort
The tendency to persecute outsiders wounded her tender heart, warping it
She was a powerless person
The pride to have things her own way,
The kindness to sacrifice herself for someone,
The bravery to resist authority,
She didn't have any of that on hand
Held and Elluka's plan in the end came to grant Clarith's wish
Had that been a good thing for Clarith, or perhaps not?
XI. Re_birthday
[Rebirth]
The removed gear. The conclusion to that is in the darkness
The black box was buried in the sand, and probably won't be found again
When the boy awoke, he was inside a black box
Waiting there was darkness and isolation. And a large spring
The days of his atonement begin
This is a story inside a box
So no one knows
Whether or not this is the tale's beginning or end
XII. The Tailor of Enbizaka
[Jealousy]
Around this era, Lukana Octo's body also began to grow visibly aged, if only a little
For her comfortable Envy, Elluka began to feel a longing to have a new body before too much longer
Life in this country that was placed far east from the Evillious region was quite stimulating for her
The tailor Kayo Sudou was a beauty with lovely black hair, but as it seemed she carried a complex about her appearance due to some curious circumstance, she conversely grew envious of Elluka's looks
It was at that point that Elluka and Kayo switched bodies
Elluka obtained the Deadly Sin that she'd been burdened with and the scissors that it had occupied
And Kayo obtained Lukana's body and counterfeit scissors
But it was too late
At that time Kayo had already been tainted by "sin", down to the depths of her soul
XIII. Judgment of Corruption
[Greed]
Our era, where the four allied countries of USE (Union State of Evillious) held hegemony over Evillious
Gallerian Marlon, the worst judge of the Dark Star Bureau in history, used his standing for his own ends, sometimes accepting handsome bribes from nobles who had become defendants, and at other times filling his own pockets by trapping with false charges those who were inconvenient to royal figures
Gallerian, who had been my friend
He was also tainted by a "Deadly Sin"
I had, conversely, intended to try putting that to good use
Following my predictions, he collected many "vessels" for me
The storage area where he kept his "collection pieces"... yes, that's this very theater that we are in now
XIV. Miniature Garden Girl
[The Doll]
For the girl, the inside of her house was the whole world
The father she loved and her wonderful friends
The cruel and beautiful films that would sometimes pass in front of her eyes
With just that she was happy
She who is the director of this theater
The "daughter" that Gallerian loved the most
An answer should be self-evident, if you think about the reason why she's here
If my assumption is correct, she too is...
XV. Heartbeat Clocktower
[The Gear]
Of the seven Vessels of the Deadly Sins, we've collected five
...Right now let's determine beforehand that there are five
It seems there is one who is yet sleeping, and one whose original purpose I've forgotten
...Huh? Who the hell... am I? That too? I am "Ma". No more, no less
If you say you want to know my true identity, shall we also play a word game?
It appears that the selfish girl has hidden the five vessels somewhere in this theater as a prank
Those five, and the green gear that the director carries around. Six in all. Could you collect them for me?
There is a "seal" engraved on the six vessels. After that apply the word derived from them—
"Ma" red yellow green purple blue pink
—As I've shown here. If you do, you'll be able to obtain the answer that you seek
And with that, adieu. I look forward to the day when we can meet again

Trivia[]
Conceptualization and Origin[]
- The album continues the theme concerning the events of Evil's Theater, with its booklet describing the exchange between an intruder and Ma; a similar trend is continued in the album Evils Forest.
Curiosities[]
- The album cover depicts five of the seven vessel owners in the series with their respective Vessels of Sin, with Gumina Glassred being featured in place of Nemesis Sudou and the Clockworker's Doll appearing without Margarita Blankenheim.
- In the mirrors surrounding Riliane and Allen, the images of "Rin" and an unknown boy respectively are seen reflected on the mirrors' surfaces.
- In the album booklet, Ma alludes to the fate of the trespasser when explaining to them the film concerning the Clockworker's Doll; this reference elaborated upon in Evils Court.
- During the film concerning Gear, Ma muses she would use wordplay for the intruder to help them discern her identity; should the reader scour the booklet for clues to her code, they will end up with the word "Magician".
- Curiously, the timeline documents provided in the booklet are partially burned at the bottom, hiding the information concerning EC 999.
- When overlaying an illustration of the theater on a starry night over the CD, the letters and numbers can be arranged to match up with the illustration's holes; the word "crescent" can be revealed, as well as the words "twilight" and "mirror" in a mirrored format.
- When overlaying the CD with an illustration of a moon, the letters match up to "Blackbox" and "Solitude".
- When overlaying the lyrics for The Song that Resounds with Lu Li La, Lu Li La, it spell out "Taizai no Utsuwa" which means "Vessels of Sin".
