Damn you!
Who are you?!
The sun rises and falls.
Whether the wind blows,
or rain starts to fall,
without death, but in death,
an endless circle.
Over and over.
No...
Not them, either.
It's the same as...
The butterfly...
A thing as little as being killed by the woman from the Sword and this...
Sit there and watch.
This failure.
It's been three days and you're still there, huh?
Excuse me, ma'am.
Give me some flowers.
Sure.
How long has it been since she died?
Five years now.
Time goes by fast.
Buy some for me, too.
Don't joke around like that.
I'm going to think of her and go drinking tonight.
You think that'll make everything better?
Here you go.
Well, it's not like I can go take my revenge or something.
This is the most I can do.
You think that'll make everything better?
Well, it's not like I can go take my revenge or something.
Everyone's died...
I'm the only one left.
Everyone died...
You too, huh?
You need these, don't you?
You give flowers to a woman you like, and also to the dead.
They have a dual purpose.
Five copper.
I wouldn't mind that Myoujin cloth, either.
Give up your sword.
Promising never to use that again is enough for us.
What?
I only have these.
So it worked out.
Hey.
Isn't that the girl?
You're silly.
There's no way a member of the Sword wouldn't be armed.
You've got a point.
Get out of here. We're busy.
You're disgusting.
Homeless, huh?
If you want someone to take you home, you should fix yourself up.
She still hasn't awakened...
We just need to remake her.
A beautiful corpse that has been hollowed by despair.
There is no better container for the Impurity to fill.
The bird that leaves the cage won't survive, huh?
I'll leave everything to you.
Oh, you again.
The master of this place
received his punishment.
Punishment...
He made such large quantities of Heaven's Spirit,
and many people died as a result.
They say that Death himself came for him.
I haven't a need for these.
I need to make sure.
Why do you guys have to follow me?
We're just headed to the same place.
I have something to discuss with Alka.
You better hurry, then.
If you don't get there fast, I'll be taking her out.
I'm killing her this time.
Here you go.
No,
if you get in the way, this won't work.
Just like a certain someone.
Oh, so you're going to run from the cage?
Such a bad girl.
Hey!
The Village of the Sword is actually up here, right?
Proprietress!
She isn't even listening.
What about your homeland?
It's above the clouds.
Above the clouds?
Above the clouds.
Why do you think Alka's there?!
Does she have somewhere else to go?
You honestly think she'll miss her home?
What are we going to do if she's not there?!
You can go home if you don't like it.
My, my.
Wait!
Loana-sama.
Alka...
Business is booming!
Hey there.
What is it? What's wro—
What's that?
It's not nice to pull pranks.
Enough playing doll.
I'm tired.
She's...
She's alive...
Alka...
H-Hey!
Hey, wait!
What are you—
Kill me.
Stop it!
Why?
The Alka I was gunning for is gone.
Why would someone who kills for a living asked to be killed.
What a joke.
You're already dead.
Why did you save her?
I can't really say.
If you don't know, I guess I wouldn't know, either.
I've come to see you.
I wanted to see just how much pain you were in after I took my revenge.
And?
It just feels empty.
I can't believe you.
Anyway, I'll thank you.
Thank you for taking revenge for my comrades.
I came here just to say that.
You disappeared before I could tell you.
We were looking for you.
Here you go.
Loana-sama.
Leader.
Do it!
Is this okay?
It's a funeral.
You mean for the members of the Pleasure Gang?
We drink!
We drink until morning!
Sure!
We drink!
You've really changed since we first met, Alka.
I never thought you'd ask to die.
Do you really want to die?
You...
Hey, you guys come on!
Why did she...
What are those swords to you?
What are the swords to you?
Stop it.
She'll die at this rate!
It'll be fine. Just leave them.
She just does what she wants.
You push her to the edge, and now
you feel bad, so you're gonna save her?
The Proprietress that I know, and the Proprietress I didn't know about...
I guess they're both the Proprietress.
I've been saying that this whole time.
The past doesn't disappear.
I will carry it.
No matter how heavy it is.
It's been that way so far, and will continue to be.
What will you do, Alka?
Seems it's over.
You sure just do whatever.
You don't have to wait for someone to order you to do something.
You just need to figure out what to do on your own.
Figure out...
What was that?
Jin Varrel.
The butterfly...
What a monster...
This has to be a joke.
She's supposed to be dead...
Time for Review
It's time for Blade & Soul's "Time for Review."
We'll be talking about Hon Dougen today.
He has a powerful technique called the Divine Qigong of Hon's Gate.
He's both Alka and my teacher.
He understood the significance Alka's mark held,
and guided her on how to use it.
It really had to do with the path people travel.
Time for revenge!
Next time is "Soul."
Next Time: "Soul"
Master Hon, how does Alka feel to you now?
