Good evening.
I am Ka Grava-Rai Fuu-Durham José Francisco de Paula Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Ruiz Stahl.
﻿You're...
﻿The deadly Merchant?
Quite so.
﻿Now then, why don't you ﻿both join me for breakfast...?
The most important meal of the day!
Silence!
﻿Even with your Wu Xing TiClan, my kicks are ﻿capable of exploding you from the inside.
P-P-P-Please wait!
﻿We came here to speak ﻿with you about Red Dragon.
The name of our country is Nile Kamul
It's a country.
Then in a day a the nation, Korean, attacked suddenly
﻿we lost 33% of the landmass.
The eastern friends Dnatia
Only care about their own base settlements, distancing themselves
The nation of Nil Kaml, In both imperial hand
﻿was cut up like the French flag.
﻿The so-called patron saint of the Red Dragon, nation, bailed on us
The Year 3015
Our country is said to suffer!
Who are you??
﻿Huh? Can't you make an educated guess?
Ah, nice to meet you! I am the hero this city needs.
﻿We came here to greet you under the supreme jurisdiction of Lord Ka Grava.
Are you both Bounded Twos?
﻿Shady is.
Sol is a human-monster-ethereal being tri-breed.
He's a Mixer.
﻿A Bound Two and a Mixer are acting ﻿as messengers for the halfdead Merchant?
Lord Ka Grava treats ﻿those beneath him with some discrimination!
Oh-ho-ho...
Terminate this banter.
We shall make haste so that we're not found ﻿by the Korean forces that have surrounded the city for the last 10 years.
Ah! My bad! Sol is always like this.
﻿Um, let's traverse the townscape.
sure
I'm here to disturb you.
This better be worth disturbing me up...
﻿Yes!
﻿Well, Ka Grava...
He was overleep?!
﻿Yes! Over there...
During the 10 years we surrounded him, ﻿that rusting can was sleeping for 10 years?
﻿Lord Ka Grava!
﻿--Lord Ka Grava! --﻿Lord Ka Grava!
Lord Ka Grava!
﻿Lord Ka Grava!
Lord Ka Grava!
Oh? So you're members of ﻿the combined exploradventure, yes?
Now, come on board! We're going for a cruise.
Let's have a cordial conversation at my estate.
Kept me waiting, huh?
Today's the day I'm gonna back ﻿you for all future business ventures.
﻿Gotcha!
I sniped Ka Grava!
We'll befriend Haiga through force ﻿before Dnatia intervenes!
﻿Yes!
"Haiga | Ka Grava's estate"
The overhaul took ten ﻿whole years, and now look!
﻿--Shaddy ﻿--Dunk Corner
Well, now, I kept you waiting, huh?
I must say, Gakusho shows great taste ﻿in aiming for my costliest real estate.
Gakusho, as in the Korean general?
Why, yes! She was hailed as a master ﻿sniper during the Ten Year War.
﻿She seems to burning desire against me, ever since I sold her guns and gunpowder.
There's no sense having all these guns if we don't have the gun powder for them!
﻿The price for gunpowder has been inflating to the moon ﻿in Nile Kamul and even in our country!
There's no doubt that Ka Grava ﻿is manipulating the market!
﻿That bastard! It seems...
﻿that there is no ethical consumption under late capitalism!
﻿Retreat! ﻿-Yosh!
He's gonna pay me for this...!
Korean's forces will lay siege to this city,
believing that you're conspiring ﻿to fund the revivalraray army.
Hm... It seems it will be difficult ﻿to maintain Haiga's lawful allignment..
Look at this photograph of Haiga's side gate.
Looks like Korean's pride, ﻿the tank squad, is in position...
﻿I doubt Haiga's walls ﻿would hold more than ten years.
It seems Korean is going on the offensive, ﻿knowing that Dnatia is closing in.
﻿I know!
After the battle nears commencement in the city, ﻿we can funnel Dnatia's forces through,
﻿and once confusion arises among the forces, ﻿we can just assassinate both of their leaders!
Wha...?
﻿I do think it's the simplest approach.
No! We need to find a pacifist solution to this.
Citation?
Why not speak with them?
﻿Ibuki. Oh Ibuki, it's too late for that.
﻿Certainly! I think that idea's fine, too.
﻿If we speak with them, we can sanction them economically.
﻿Hm... Well, how about this, then, Ibuki?
﻿If you're able to avoid this negotiation through battle
﻿then I'll acknowledge you as being able to message Red Dragon .
﻿Lord Ka Grava?
Lord Ka Grava.
﻿Yes, old sport?
I wanted to give you some ﻿information regarding the Red Dragon
Oh?
﻿He holds mysterious powers ﻿as a Child of The Deal.
Yes... He has the power to kill anyone in front ﻿of him in exchange for the life of someone else in front of him.
﻿Hm... And that's why you ﻿agreed with Ibuki's idea?
I would have died otherwise. He's a danger to society.
﻿It's all for him to decide...
﻿I'll go, even by my lonesome self if required by request.
﻿Oh, no! One person alone isn't enough to carry all of the burden.
﻿Then, I'll go with him.
Take this. It's a gun.
A staff...?
﻿It's my declaration of love and apology to Gakusho.
Apology?
﻿Yes, an apology for the ﻿ten years I've been asleep.
﻿In a briefcase, if an Imperial takes this letter of ﻿apology to her, I'm sure she'll tear it up.
﻿I'd like to war, too.
﻿I hope that you will be able to ﻿find a way to get her.
﻿Yes!
That's the spirit, Ibuki! Spirit! Spirit! Ibuki! Spirit!
I see... So this is your true power...
﻿Yes...
﻿If he uses that power again,
we may be able to determine the ﻿true power of Red Dragon's power.
I think he must be more powerful than an average baby male of less than 8 pounds upon birth.
Lord Chun Wah, this is as far as we shalt go.
And to think I did the guiding here...
Spooky, scary...
I'll save you no matter what happens.
﻿I have to save all of my friends!
Am I even your friend?
According to legend, Ka Grava's messenger was a descendant of the Imperials, but all we got was a kid.
﻿That sword...
According to legend, no one can bother us.
﻿Come in.
According to legend, you have to to enter alone.
﻿I'll be waiting.
﻿Remember that.
According to legend, I'm not big on formalities with my superiors.
﻿They scare me!
﻿Oh, hush...
Besides, we need to buy as much time ﻿as possible while Ibuki is committing sanction talks.
﻿I have the unbearable impulse to sigh...
"Haiga outerspace Dnatia force's camp site"
﻿Hello?
Um, I'm looking for a certain people...
Where is Lady Eurika?
So we finally meet for the last first time...
...Sir Swellow.
I'm the acting subleader for the third corps ﻿of the Knights Black Dragon , Eurika Ledezma.
﻿I'm the Leader of at least three troops and a clown, ﻿General Seisha of Korean, Gakusho.
﻿My name is Ibuki.
I bring to you a telegram from ﻿Ka Grava-Rai Fuu-Durham Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz Stahl.
﻿What...?
Like I said, it's a letter of apology from Ka Juan Nepomuceno Santísima Trinidad Grava.
﻿Ka Grava?!
Ka Grava!
Cease your communications.
﻿I'm only meeting you ﻿because you're an Imperial.
﻿Are you really going to attack Haiga?
I don't know, will I?
I need to crush the gunpowder providers of the rebellious army.
Even so, you're going to ruin the economies of innocent people?
There are no innocent people in war
Even General Keikaku, ﻿who took good care of me.
This will balance the scales, kiddo.
I wonder if Ibuki-san has noticed by now...
Gakusho has no intention ﻿of reading my notification of consent...
﻿and is in no way willing to converse.
﻿In other words, he...
﻿is not who he says..
He must be doing the kill of Gakusho to stop the war.
With her gone, the remaining soldiers and ﻿Dnatia's forces won't be fighting evermore
So what? Don't you have anything ﻿else up your many sleeves, Imperial kiddo?
﻿Ka Grava and the others knew this was ﻿going to happen from the beginning...
﻿Ka Grava?
But in order to do that, I need to ﻿invoke the plume again...
But that's unethical!
Wipe that look off your face?!
﻿--Wha--?! ﻿--Eykha!
﻿Ibuki!
That other kiddo?!
﻿You savages are out of your minds!
﻿Shoot me.
Shoot me in the liver.
﻿Eykha...?
Just like Kokoro, you will be incarcerated ﻿by the dragon's flame, Gakusho.
﻿What is she saying...?
The rapture is upon us
﻿If you kill me, Gakusho will die too.
﻿But... But you're...
﻿...not my friend!
﻿I only said I was your friend
﻿Wait!
﻿If she dies, I'll die?
What if we all die?
Gakusho is aware of General Kotaku's demise.
That will lead her to believe ﻿in the power that holds Ibuki.
﻿So, doubt begets doubt.
What shall I do?
Do you beget doubt, Imperial?
What!
﻿If my flames are what you desire, ﻿then offer me an equivalent.
﻿Ibuki?
No...!
﻿I want to kill everyone,
but I also want to save all of my friends!
﻿He's serious...
﻿He seriously thinks he can kill me.
﻿Ibuki!
There... There has to be a way!
﻿Ka Grava?!
The overhaul took ten ﻿whole years, and now look!
﻿It's my letters of apologies to Gakusho.
﻿It's my letter of apology to Gakusho.
Stop this false farce at once.
﻿I can see!
﻿She thinks Ka Grava died...
In that case, notifying her that he's alive ﻿may lead me to a different route!
General Gakusho, I beseech your breeches!
Please read them letter!
﻿That was written by ﻿Ka Grava himself! He's alive!
Ka Grava?
Even if he's some robot, ﻿I snipered him in the head...
Wait... Could he truly be, ﻿as his name suggests, undead?
﻿You know what to do!
We must burn him to the ground
﻿What now...?
﻿If Ka Grava is alive, ﻿there's room to negotiate, but...
﻿After she reads the letter, then what...?
﻿What's to negotiate...?
﻿But if this isn't done, I'm going to ﻿end up killing Eykha and Gakusho...
﻿Bring it, now!
﻿Y-Yes!
The stamp looks so authentic...
﻿But...
﻿I need additional postage to ship this!
This piece of mail is useless without an additional authentic stamp!
﻿Um, excuse me?
﻿Isn't it a letter of apology...?
﻿Apology?
﻿It's an attack campaign!
He means to steal the seat of power from underneath me.
﻿Then...!
Spread the word to our troops!
﻿Haiga has accepted our demands!
﻿Moving forward, we will enter ﻿Haiga as an occupying force!
Be first forewarned that if there are any rioters, ﻿I'm gonna drill their teeth full of holes!
﻿Ka Grava must have set something up...
Ka Grava?
No, during my upgrade, an unfortunate ﻿misunderstanding has occurred,
and for that, I would like to conduct the most sincere of apologies.
it was defiantly my intention ﻿to dismiss your advancement.
The government of Haiga ﻿will crush any so-called "rebellious armies"
and will regrettably accept Korean's security.
﻿In addition to the costs of being stationed here, I will provide the expected concessions.
﻿I look forward to your benevolence
﻿Stationed...?
﻿That's right...
﻿I don't mind killing ﻿and plundering, but fighting isn't really my thing
﻿I have a personal grudge ﻿against Ka Grava, but...
...for now, I will wipe my mind clear of any past transgressions brought upon me by the humble Ka Grava-Rai Fuu-Durham Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz Stahl.
Ka Grava?
﻿Well, if you'll excuse us.
Just a sec, or maybe even ten years, Ibuki.
﻿Huh?
At least you're different from ﻿the other spinefilled degenerates.
﻿Wha--?!
﻿Ibuki is going to become supreme unchallanged master of this island.
Looks like you're going to be ﻿one tough cookie to deal with!
Domo.
﻿Speaking strictly of results, killing Gakusho
﻿or sealing the negotiation by ﻿having her read the letter...
Those were the only three choices ﻿you had from the very beginning.
But somehow you innovated to come up with a fourth choice!
﻿Even when you were at a loss, ﻿you committed to your choices that led to your continuous downfall and loss.
﻿Ibuki...
﻿I will not acknowledge you as a person, but as at least two people.
But the result was Haiga ﻿being occupied by Korean...
I'm merely having them stationed ﻿here for secret purposes.
Besides, Korean isn't the only one ﻿who will be stationed here.
﻿Huh?
Dnatia's amazing ambassador should arrive shortly, for equally secret purposes.
Who is this stupendous ambassador?
﻿Oh, someone you know very well.
Swellow...?
﻿Korean and Dnatia...
By bringing them in at the same time, ﻿the balance of powers can be balanced kept...
I guess we were all tricked and rused by you all along...
﻿But this is just a ruseruse
Their forces led me to ﻿surrender Haiga's allignment.
This is known
﻿That's about all a petty merchant can do.
Now then, can you gather all my peoples?
As promised, I'll talk to our chum, the Red Dragon about himself.
﻿Yes!
And I did have The Deal with Red Dragon...
﻿To help the Imperial that would, ﻿one day, come in search of me.
﻿Why didn't you kill me?
﻿Is it because I'm not good enough?
Or is it because I am too good?
﻿You're... my friend, Ibuki.
Th...
﻿Thank you...
Now then, Red Dragon, am I correct?
﻿I have a hand-written letter from him.
﻿A message from Red Dragon?
﻿But before that, we need ﻿to listen to Eykha's story.
﻿Me?
Yes, about the revolutionized ﻿army's first adventurous excursion...
...that was destroyed while attempting ﻿to befriend Red Dragon, who went mad.
﻿Eykha...
That is correct... I didn't talk about that.
Maybe I am to forget about it...
﻿Izun was the leader of the first crusade, ﻿and a Bound Two bounded with a Stone Giant.
He initially thought he ﻿could become Red Dragon.
﻿That's Red Dragon...?
"Act 4"
shout out to my man gen urobuchi
Act 5: "Invoke the Plume."
Ibuki plans to kill one of his friends to make his job easier.
But is the friend he's planning to kill actually his friend? Stay tuned for next time on Gen Urobuchi's Wild Ride.
