Booklet Text[]

Will you forsake everything and set out on a trip...?
Will you close off your past...?
Will you continue to live in a false world...?
Or will you face reality head on...?

Choose as you like
You're holding the key for that, aren't you?

Right now I'll tell you, as plainly as I can, what's happening in this world

I died. You died. Along with the world. Because of Nemesis... because that dictator pressed the firing switch on that weapon of mass destruction. I can't blame Bruno's failure regarding that. Because I'm sure that even if he had been successful in obliterating her, our destruction would have just happened because of some other person

The problem is why we're all continuing to remain suspended here on the ground world. We don't have our bodies anymore. That much is obvious. Why is it obvious? Well right now you're not a "tiger"―you have the appearance of a lovely young man. The deep wrinkles etched into my arms and legs have disappeared, and my skin is smooth. To the both of us these are the "ideal appearances" that we'd wanted, I'm certain it has something to do with that

There's something more surprising than that I saw my father again, for the first time in a long time. My father, who died several decades ago... when I was young. Dad told me his hypothesis. It was crazy, and yet I also can't help but believe in it. "We are all spirits", he said. The weapon of mass destruction, "Punishment", had even destroyed the boundary between heaven and the hellish yard. So the spirits of the dead all lost their place to go, and are flooding the ground world

So what happens now? I don't know that. But... there has been some slight unrest. Souls wearing the uniforms of Tasan-Elphegort military are amassing in a certain place. It's the area around the theater that's floating in the air. How's a building floating? How am I supposed to know that? Probably just that this world is "anything goes" now. Addressing them at the center of it all was the man who went by the name of the "Gardener"―I've seen him before. Gammon Octo. The man who was the leader of the Tasan Party before Nemesis. I might have to investigate a little more

...I don't really have any desire to take revenge on Gallerian, you know? In the first place, everyone's already dead anyway. I have no interest in doing so. That's why I let her go, too. ―Nemesis. I saw her together with a golden-haired boy. ...If my eyes were working right... she had a "body". What an unfunny joke. The perpetrator of the world's destruction nonchalantly surviving like that. Though I don't know if Nemesis considers that a good thing or not

As for the boy? Dad said something like, "isn't that the one who was once the servant who served Princess Riliane of Lucifenia, Allen Avadonia?" You don't know him? Yeah, this was the first time I met him too. He was from a period centuries before mine, after all. It seems that the spirits of great figures and villains from history have been appearing on the ground world, huh? When I went to the ruined site of Lucifenia I just had to laugh. 'Cause the "Daughter of Evil" Riliane, and the hero who defeated her, Germaine, were partying together like pals. If you searched all over the world, you'd probably meet up with your ancestors, too, don't you think?

Like I said earlier, I'm going to try heading to that theater one more time. ―Yeah, you're coming too huh? I don't mind. We've been inseparable for a long time now after all

...Wait a minute
What the heck is that black box―

Afterword

On February 28th, 2008, I uploaded the first song I had made with VOCALOID, "Ten Minute Love", onto a video website

It was a quick thing, and a span of over nine years have passed since then

After that I created the songs "Daughter of Evil" and "Servant of Evil", and from there I started developing the Deadly Sin Series that would be set in Evillious

This current song, "Master of the Heavenly Yard", is meant to be the last chapter of the series

Its length exceeds fifteen minutes. Out of all the songs I've made it is the longest

Honestly I had intended to make it even longer, but once I got to around the eight minute mark I had a few limitations

Though if it was just about making it longer I would have found a way somehow, but there wouldn't be any point in getting fixed on that and making the song boring as a result, so ultimately I settled down on how it is not

The subtitle for this song is "Re_birthday Truth".

The circumstances that are abstractly depicted in "Re_birthday"'s lyrics are elaborated on here

(Or perhaps you could treat it as an alternate interpretation of Re_birthday)

Though the original song is quite old, and so the way it's set up has changed a lot from back then

...Please go easy on me on that front

Anyhow, this series that has gone on for so long is at its conclusion for now

(Though I'm not saying I won't make bonus stories after this. The Clockwork Lullaby Series still isn't over yet)

Please buy the novel "Master of the Heavenly Yard" that I'll probably release next

Which may elaborate on the unanswered riddles and foreshadowing

(This is an advertisement. A blue-haired judge also said once that money is very important)

For those of you who've followed the series up to this point, and for those of you who got this CD without having done so,

You have my deepest appreciation
