Ma Survival is a song released by Akuno-P on August 12, 2013 in the Original Sin Story -Act 2- album and later uploaded with a PV on May 4, 2016. It is the sixth song in the Original Sin Story.

Plot[]

Four very different women gather in a temple in Magic Kingdom Levianta: Irina Clockworker, Milky Eights, Ly Li, and Elluka Chirclatia. With the ongoing need for a "Mother" to birth the "Twins of God" and that only one of them could become the "Mother" and ruler of Levianta, the four become cruel and begin secretly fighting each other in a game of survival as well as distrusting everyone.

Ly is later said to have accidentally fallen off a cliff, though that may not have been the truth. As time goes on, the women left become increasingly cynical and resentful. Milky is said to have killed herself from heartache, though that was definitely not the truth.

Later, Irina approaches Elluka and asks that they stop fighting, telling her sister-in-law that she had her and Kiril's support to win the competition. After Elluka thanks Irina and promises to protect her, the girl stabs her in the back, tears in her eyes. After killing Elluka, Irina is told that she, the three women's murderer, was selected to become the new Ma. As she angelically smiles at the temple's altar, Kiril, however, is targeting her with a knife.

Lyrics[]

神の子供は産まれない
神の子供は見つからない
誰かが『母』にならねばならぬ
神の子供を産まねばならぬ

神殿に集う乙女たち
生まれも境遇も違う四人
『母』になれるのはたった一人
『女王』になれるのはたった一人

欲望が聖女たちを悪魔に変える
武器を手にして今まさに始まる
殺し合い

始動するサバイバル疑心暗鬼が友愛情に勝る
あなたの後ろで笑うのは本当に仲間ですか？

「昨日あの子が死んだ崖から足を滑らせ転げ落ちた」
それはもしかしたら嘘かも

最後に生き残るのは誰だ？

色に溺れた娼婦に
驕り高ぶる女貴族
兄に恋する嫉妬深き少女
そしてその兄の婚約者

より強き才能のみが全てを得る
そして心に沸きおこる
とめどない憎しみ

終わらないサバイバル　現実主義が性善論に勝る
私の命を狙うのは　本当に敵なのかな？

「あの子が首を吊った　醜い争いに心を痛めた」
そんなの絶対に嘘だよ

最後に生き残るのは誰だ？

お義姉様　もう止めましょう
残る候補者も　私たちだけ
こんなの無意味だわ
女王にはお義姉様がなればいいわ
兄が選んだあなただもの

ありがとうイリーナ
大丈夫あなたを死なせはしない
守ってあげるから

血の花を背中に咲かせ
義姉はその場に崩れ落ちる
今際の際に見たものは
泣き叫ぶ義妹の顔

「三人を手にかけた罪深き少女よ
お前が新たな『Ma』に選ばれた」

祭壇に立つ少女　微笑む天使のような悪魔
彼女が子を宿したならばそれで平穏は訪れる

されどもサバイバルは永遠に終わることはないのだろう
新たな女王を狙った刃がどこかで煌めいた

Kami no kodomo wa umarenai
Kami no kodomo wa mitsukaranai
Dareka ga “haha” ni naraneba naranu
Kami no kodomo wo umaneba naranu

Shinden ni tsudou otometachi
Umare mo kyouguu mo chigau yonnin
“Haha” ni nareru no wa tatta hitori
“Joou” ni nareru no wa tatta hitori

Yokubou ga seijotachi wo akuma ni kaeru
Buki wo te ni shite ima masani hajimaru

Shidou suru SABAIBARU gishinanki ga yuuai jou ni masaru
Anata no ushiro de warau no wa hontou ni nakama desu ka?

“Kinou ano ko ga shinda gake kara ashi wo suberase korogeochita”
Sore wa moshikashitara uso kamo

Saigo ni ikinokoru no wa dare da?

Iro ni oboreta shoufu ni

“Sannin wo te ni kaketa tsumibukaki shoujo yo

Saidan ni tatsu shoujo hohoemu tenshi no you na akuma

Saredomo SABAIBARU wa eien ni owaru koto wa nai no darou
Arata na joou wo neratta yaiba ga dokoka de kirameita

The children of god aren’t born
The children of god aren’t found
While someone must become “mother”
While the children of god must be born

The maidens gathered in the temple
Four girls with different birthplaces and backgrounds
Only one can become “mother”
Only one can become “queen”

Desire changes these holy women
Into fiends
They take weapons in their hands,
Now surely begins
Mutual slaughter

Survival activates
Paranoia outweighs feelings of friendship
Is the one laughing behind you
Really a friend?

“She died yesterday
Her feet slipped and she fell from a cliff”
Perhaps that is a lie

Who will survive in the end?

A prostitute drowned in sensuality
A noblewoman haughty with arrogance
A jealous girl in love with her brother
And that brother’s fiancée

Only the one with the strongest talents
Will get everything
And endless hatred
Wells up in their hearts

Unending survival
The rules of reality outweigh the idea of intrinsic goodness
Is the one aiming at my life
Really an enemy?

“She hanged herself
Heart afflicted by this ugly conflict”
Such a thing is absolutely a lie

Who will survive in the end?

Dear sister-in-law,
Let’s stop this already
The remaining candidates
Are just us
This is meaningless
As for being queen
It should be you, dear sister-in-law
You who was chosen by my brother

Thank you, Irina
You’re safe
I won’t let you die
I’ll protect you

Flowers of blood bloom from her back
Sister-in-law fell on the spot
What she saw in her dying moment
Was the wailing face of her young sister-in-law

“Sinful girl who by her hands
Ended three people,
You have been selected
As the new ‘Ma’ ”

The girl standing at the altar
A demon smiling like an angel
If she conceived the children
With that, peace would come

Nevertheless, survival
Will never be over, right?
The sword that aimed at the new queen
Gleamed somewhere

予言された世界の破滅

それを避けるために必要なのは
神の憑代となる｢双子」

そして
その母となる女性｢Ma｣であった

♫ Ma Survival / Levianta Four Ladys

第七次『Ma』計画の被験者候補として
四人の女性が選出された

だが神の双子を産み『Ma』
になれるのは一人だけ

元老院はさらなる精査の上
最終的な『Ma』候補を選ぶことにした

強欲　色欲

虚飾　暴食

憂鬱　憤怒

♫ Ma Survival / Levianta Four Ladys

一人の科学者が
誰かにこう囁いた

｢他の三人がいなくなれば――

–お前が『Ma』だ」

♫ Clockwork Requiem / Clockworker

イリーナが女王でいられたのは
半年にも満たなかった。
彼女が神の双子を生む前に
国は火の海に沈んでしまったのである。

エルルカの亡骸は婚約者に引き取られ
その後の行方は定かでない。
余談だが、その後数百年に渡り
｢エルルカ｣と名乗る魔道師が
歴史上の至る所で現われることになる。

ミルキーは殺害される二年前に
ペイルとの子を密かに生んでいた。
その末裔が後に、世界有数の財団組織を
作りだすことになる。

国の崩壊後、リー家の生き残りは
東へと向かった。
そこで広大な王国を築き上げるが、
その国も数百年後には滅んだという

Two mages continued to fight
For the span of roughly 600 years

This is the story of the beginning of that

Kiril Clockworker.

May be a HER, observation necessary

Elluka Chirclatia

Of her fiancé Kiril.

May be colluding with the evil god Held

Milky Eights
A resident prostitute of Welvya City.

Ly Li
A resident noblewoman of Asmouse City.
The second daughter of Li family head, Irta Li.

Political pressure from project sponsor

Who will survive in the end?

Queen Merry-Go-Round
Foretold the world’s destruction

What they needed to avert that was
The “Twins of God” who would be representatives of the divine

And
The “Ma”, a woman who would be their mother

♫ Ma Survival / Levianta Four Ladys

Four women were selected
As subject candidates for the 7th Project “Ma”

But only one would be able
To become the “Ma” who would birth the Twins of God

They decided to choose the final “Ma” candidate
Upon even closer scrutiny by the senate

Greed, Lust

Ostentation, Surfeit

Dejection, Wrath

Sloth, Pride

♫ Ma Survival / Levianta Four Ladys

A single scientist
Whispered to someone:

“If the other three disappeared—

–You would be ‘Ma’.”

♫ Clockwork Requiem / Clockworker

Irina Clockworker becoming Queen
Didn’t even last half a year.
Before she could give birth to the Twins of God
The country had completely sunken into a sea of fire.

Elluka’s dead body was taken away by her fiance
And its whereabouts thereafter are uncertain.
As a digression, a number of centuries afterwards
A sorceress carrying the name of “Elluka”
Ended up appearing in places of historic significance.

Two years before Milky was murdered
She secretly gave birth to a child with Pale.
Their descendant ended up
Creating a world-leading Foundation organization.

After the country’s collapse, what was left of the Li family
Headed to the east.
There they built up a vast kingdom,
But it’s said that country fell to ruin as well several centuries later.
