CDIII: Hajimari no Jikan ("The time of the beginning")

Track 1: This story is based on the “Train Station incident” of the second volume of the manga. Remington is waiting for somebody at the train station when a small girl sits next to him and gives him a “present”. When he opens the package, Remington finds a picture of Joshua. He then asks the girl about the picture, and the girl, who was being manipulated by a mysterious female demon, tells him to call Rosette or she would kill every human being in the train station. Remington is then forced to obey her. Meanwhile, Rosette, Chrno and Azmaria are in the convent’s car after buying some groceries. Rosette is singing something, and Chrno tells Azmaria that Rosette and her brother used to sing that song when they were kids. Azmaria then asks about Rosette’s brother, but Rosette was just about to answer, when she nearly crashes the car. Chrno angrily scolds Rosette for her absentmindness, but then the phone rings. Chrno answers and tells Rosette that Remington was looking for her. Rosette happily answers the phone and then speeds up in the convent’s car to pick Remington at the train station. Then, tired of waiting for him, she gets off the car and runs inside the building. Chrno gets very jealous and Azmaria teases him about it. Rosette then falls right into the trap...

Track 2: Remington asks Sister Kate about Rosette, and she tells him that she went with Chrno to the place where everything started for them. Rosette, Chrno and Azmaria visit the Seventh Bell Orphanage and Chrno tells Azmaria that the place was frozen in time 4 years ago. Rosette and Chrno then start to explain what happened...

Flashback: Rosette was chasing some of the kids of the orphanage after they got some laundry dirty, but she stopped when her younger brother Joshua pretended to be hit by her. Joshua laughed at her worried face, and Rosette was angry, but she forgot her anger when he started coughing. Joshua was a very weak boy, and he begged her to let him be outside for a while longer. Rosette then decided to escape with him to the forest for a while until Remington, a minister from the Magdalan Order went away. They had a small accident, and Joshua cured Rosette using the supernatural powers he had. Rosette promised Joshua that she would always protect him, and they started to wander inside the underground passage they had found, until they stumbled upon a big door, which had some mysterious inscriptions. The door suddenly opened and they went inside. Then they heard a voice and found Chrno, who told them that he was a demon…

Track 3: Neither Rosette nor Joshua were scared of Chrno, and Joshua was actually delighted, asking him if he was for real. Chrno, however, was very weak due to the lack of Astral energy, and Rosette, thinking that he was angry, took pity on him and offered him something to eat. Back to the present: Rosette and Chrno remember their first impression of each other, and continue to tell Azmaria what happened afterwards. Flashback: Rosette and Joshua visit Chrno at the forest, and ask him to tell them more stories. Chrno then told them about the Astral Line, an invisible river of souls that was the source of life of every living thing in the universe. Joshua then told Chrno that Rosette and him wanted to be explorers, and that they would discover the Astral Line and become famous. Then he fell asleep, and Rosette told Chrno about Joshua’s illness and said that she wanted to become a doctor so she could cure him. That night, Joshua got very sick, and asked Remington to please take him to the Magdalan Order so he could be strong. Remington told him that he would take him in the morning, when he felt a little better. Rosette was very worried about Joshua and wanted to see him, but he refused, and Remington informed her about Joshua’s decision of coming with him. Rosette then ran away from the orphanage and went to see Chrno, crying. Chrno comforted her, telling that Joshua really loved her, and that she could speak with him on the morning. Rosette felt a lot better, but just then, Aion spoke to Chrno and made an offer to him: forgetting the past and returning his horns if Chrno decided to rejoin him and his former allies, called “The Sinners”. Aion explained to Rosette that demons needed their horns to absorb the energy of the Astral Line, the source of their powers, and that he had broken Chrno’s horns many years ago. Chrno refused his offer, but Aion said that he had found somebody else that could use the horns: Joshua. To Rosette’s surprise, Chrno then recovered his real form, a young man with huge wings, and quickly rushed Rosette back to the orphanage. By then, Joshua, overwhelmed by the power of Chrno’s horns, had turned everybody around him into stone. Rosette tried to reason with him, but Chrno, seeing her in danger, immediately took her away to a safe place.

Joshua was kidnapped by Aion and Rosette asked Chrno for his help in order to rescue him and the people at the orphanage who had been “frozen”. Chrno, however, was very low in Astral energy, and was unable to do anything for them, unless he found somebody willing to make a contract with him. Rosette then asked Chrno what a contract was, he told her that hornless demons such as him needed an alternative source of energy, which was the remaining lifetime of a person. The person’s life would be reduced every time the demon used its powers, and he or she would suffer terribly. If Rosette wanted to make a contract with Chrno, she would be in constant pain and would only live for a short amount of time. Would she be able to bear with it? Rosette said that she wanted to make Joshua’s dream come true, and begged Chrno to make a contract with her. Chrno, moved by Rosette’s determination, agreed... Back to the present: Rosette tells a very remorseful Chrno that they now had everything in their favor, and that they could make the time that was frozen to move again...

Track 4: Joshua is sitting on the porch of a house next to the beach, singing the song Rosette and him used to sing when they were small, when Fiore interrupts him. Joshua and Fiore talk for a while, when a bunch of Pursuers arrive at the house, demanding to see Aion, the Sinner. Fiore goes inside the house to prepare some coffee, and when she goes back to Joshua, he has already killed most of the Pursuers. One of them wonders at his power, but Joshua just finishes him without a second thought. Then Joshua starts remembering his sister and says her name, and Rosette, who is on the way to San Francisco, “hears” his voice in her head and also thinks about him...
