Bang!
Here it is!
This is great.
Awesome!
We're having fun tonight, Loana!
Call me Leader.
Right!
Leader!
Very well.
Now, carry it out.
There.
Who are you?!
Thanks finding that for us.
I guess you guys have a death wish,
if you're picking a fight with the Pleasure Gang.
Come on.
You're good.
You're the first person to escape my aim.
But I'm tired of playing hide and seek!
Phew. That was close.
I can't let my guard down with her.
You know it's pretty hard
to make a lot of money.
What's up with you guys?
Why are you attacking me?
She's the bounty.
Not again...
I'm not going to get any money if I kill you guys.
It's a waste of my bullets.
We let her get away.
That's fine.
I'm the leader of the Pleasure Gang, Dan Loana.
I've had my run-ins with Palam, just like you.
Palam...
Come.
I've formed a suppression force.
They're a bunch of lowlifes trying to make names for themselves.
There is no need for you to speak with them.
I shall not be tainted.
Understood. I shall speak with them.
We shall head to the west, to Rengen.
There are anti-Palam factions forming there.
We shall eliminate them.
See for yourselves the power of Heaven's Spirit.
Roger!
We depart.
Relax.
What's your name?
You don't trust me enough to tell me your name, huh?
You all did good work today.
We shall remember this day as another day we managed to survive.
Eat and drink up!
That girl was pretty cute.
She was too good for you.
Yeah, yeah. Out of your league.
And you think she's in yours?!
Have a seat and drink.
Please use these.
Clean yourself up.
Wiping our own asses is the policy here.
Here you go.
See you later.
His name's Gil.
I've appointed him to help you out.
Ask for anything you need.
You're a guest here.
I can't believe this!
You're in a bad mood.
Listen to this.
I ran into some weird people.
Yeah? Weird, how?
These annoying guys took Alka away from me...
You know the weird guys with thorns right here?
Oh, the Pleasure Gang.
You know them?!
They're pretty well-known in the desert.
But they're just raiders.
They say the day you piss off their female leader is the last day you live.
Where's their base of operations?
I'm going to get all of them.
Give it a rest.
Alka is mine!
Why do you want her so badly?
Hazuki shoots everyone in her sights!
But she couldn't hit Alka...
I feel bad for my guns.
You're such a kid.
The Pleasure Gang, huh?
I'm going to get her.
I'm totally shooting her!
You said something about "run-ins"...
How about we talk about you first?
Here you are.
Taking my leave.
This is you, right?
Under that myoujin cloth cover.
Palam is after you, right?
That makes you the Pleasure Gang's friend.
That's why we saved you.
You killed your master, correct?
They did it.
Do you know who "they" are?
Only their face.
The person who spread that flier around was the captain of Flower Monks,
Jin Varrel, a user of Impurity.
Jin Varrel...
So that was Impurity...
Yes.
It is evil, an unsettling power darker than darkness.
Jin Varrel was the one who must have killed your master.
Well this is a surprise!
You now have a name to go with that face of yours!
There's nothing more wonderful.
This is fate.
You were destined to meet me.
Loana! You have to thank that rat!
It was worth paying for the information.
What do you plan to do with Jin Varrel?
I shall take my revenge.
The Flower Monks shall come shortly.
I will use you to call them here.
We wish to take our revenge against the Flower Monks, as well.
Our friends were killed by them.
His brother was killed.
So sad...
So drink, until we take our revenge!
I drink to their deaths.
Jin Varrel isn't human.
She's a monster.
We can't win if we face her straight on.
I don't like hiding things,
so I say everything I think.
I shall have you engage Jin Varrel.
I'm going to use you as bait.
I've leaked information to them about you.
Using a rat.
They will come.
And that is when the Pleasure Gang shall strike!
Men, get riled up.
We're doing this!
Yes, we're within expectations.
We've received word on the Sword Clan female.
How's your wound?
No problem.
Then you can fight.
I like watching the rising sun.
The sun is most beautiful at daybreak.
It's like the sun is cleansing away who I was yesterday.
Why was your master killed?
I don't know.
So you don't know even the reason, huh?
That's terrible.
I must take revenge for my master.
That is our Code.
Code, hm?
But in effect you're going to slay Jin Varrel for your master, correct?
I shall take revenge based on our Code.
Wait.
What is your master to you?
How important was this person to you?
You have feelings for them, correct?
I must take revenge.
That is the Code.
My job.
Job, huh?
Everyone here is a collection of people who've lost their homes,
but everyone finds their home here.
Everyone is family.
We help each other out in times of need,
and that is why we take revenge for those of our own, savagely killed.
They could have had better lives.
My revenge only has purpose because of how deep my feelings are for them.
Do you understand?!
That's what this is!
Purpose...
How deep your feelings are...
You...
You act as if you're completely dead inside.
Are you really human?
I know another person just like you.
Jin Varrel.
Loana!
Call me "Leader."
Jin Varrel has come!
We'll toast once our revenge is complete.
Come!
Wake up! They took the bait.
Is it Jin Varrel?
That's right.
We're gonna smash her.
We're moving out!
We've waited a long time for this moment.
I have to thank our bounty over here.
I'll protect our leader!
Thanks!
Where are you going?
You've done your job as bait.
You're not coming out until we say it's okay.
Ooba!
Right!
You're in command.
Right.
Over this way.
Wait here.
Jin Varrel.
Wait a second.
Hold on for a second.
We received word that a woman we are looking for is here.
She's inside.
Could you hand her over?
We have a condition.
Jin Varrel, you must come personally to retrieve her.
You must cross this bridge.
We won't hand her over if you do not.
That's something we cannot do.
This area is impure.
We cannot have her tainted.
Then I guess we're done talking.
They're ready for a fight.
Aim!
Over here.
Ooba!
The Pleasure Gang isn't going to lose!
Yeah!
Doru!
Jin Varrel!
Loana!
Ooba.
Don't go! Stop!
I was looking for you.
Alka...
I knew it.
How can she move?
That's the Impurity!
What is that?
I got her!
Perfect.
She gives me the creeps.
Time for Review
It's time for Blade & Soul's "Time for Review."
We'll be learning about the Pleasure Gang this time!
The leader, Dan Loana, will do anything so long as it's fun,
from saving people to robbing graves,
but her weak-point is not being able to keep things clean.
They're known for the large thorns on their armor.
They're always striking weird poses.
Time for revenge!
Our next story is: "Sword."
Next Time "Sword"
Alka's sword will shake the siblings' souls.
