Val!
Red Dragon...
Everyone believed in you...
That you would fight alongside the rebellious army...
But instead, you're going to fight against us?
At the core of the first exploraravation
Was Izun, a Bounded Two bound "two" a gargantuanous Stone Giant.
Our fate was sealed the moment he fell so - Izun!
Izun!!
Izun, what're you trying to tell me?
Halt!
Red Dragon will not save us.
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!
Nile Kamul \ Ka Grava's Real Estate
Ah, now I know the meaning of this message.
Back then, the predecessor of crimson color told me this...
Comrade...
There will come a day when I am radically altered from how I have been in the past.
No... It will be worse than that.
Explain yourself.
When push come to shove, can you visit Oragami Volcano?
That volcano will likely be the last place left where I can mantain my sense of reason.
Are you trying to tell me that you'll leave something at Oragami Volcano?
That was Red Dragon's message..?
But back then, the Red Dragon showed no sense of reason.
I'll let you all decide whether you believe it or not.
Damn, so where's the bath supposed to be?
G-G-Gakusho!?
Well, well well...
Korean's stationing was agreed on, so I came right away to take a bath, but..
Damn, this place is huge.
I'll lead you there, hurry up and follow me.
Damn, a Mixer? Looking cute there.
I'll shank you.
Is that the Leader of One-Thousand and one General Gakushos?
Korean sure is diverse...
Me, speak with General Gakusho?
Yes, in regards to establishing coexisting between the religions and ethnicities here in Haiga.
This is a critically dire subject.
But, isn't that your job as ambassadassador?
Well, you see...
My Master has only recently arrived in Nile Kamul, so he hasn't been briefed on information prertaining to the situation that is currently under the 34th precinct of which we are standing at this exact moment
Oh yeah! That's it!
I forgot that this all came together thanks to the continued support of our sponsors.
Understood.
Do your best, Eureka!
Sir Swellow.
Who're you, sir?
I am the military force's pope, Father Emanuel Meschwitz.
May I acquire you for a moment?
Uh, sure, Mr. Father...
Damn, this feels great...
So, why are you fine gals in here with me?
They said this bath was open during the morning for the ladies, so...
That's not what I was damn asking.
Oh, come to me, General Gakusho.
I do believe I know your 'tastes'.
I would be bonored to become better bacquainted with you...
Lady Gakusho...
Lady Kopaka prompted me to my current position!!
Kopaka...
I heard a rumor that Lady Kopaka was-a finished off-a
by somebody from Korean, not the revolutionary army.
Impossible! There's no way!
Lady Kopaka was planning on exterminating Red Dragon before the expedition.
After what happened, I plan to carry out her will and testament.
My main force will be heading out to the Oragami Volcano tomorrow.
Sorry, but that's now.
It's not that I want to take a bath or anything!
But I was told to bring you in herey.
Oh! Don't touch my armor.
But you'll rust, right?
Gotcha!
Oh, so you're Eureka.
Um, Leader of One Thousand plus Gakusho..?
I asked for an uber official meeting...
Well, there's no place like home, is there?
But there are peasants here...
You know that they're part of the combined dragon heist, right?
Sir Swellow's party members?
Why yes, they've bonded.
Notification was sent to Korean and Dnatia
to withhold all military activity until the combined task force finds Red Dragon.
Why did you sack Haiga?
Because according to rumor, Ka Grava was backing the rebellious army.
But that rumor was a reality.
According to our deal, Dnatia and Korean won't stage any plays in Haiga.
Sounds okay, right?
This concludes our unofficial meeting.
Pleaes wait.
Huh
Moving forward, our country's approach in Haiga should...
C'mon, I'm a Sir, not a politician.
Ahhasorry.
Well, if it isn't the Imperial.
Imperial?
We have an Imperial?
Excuse me. I was looking for Eureka, and....
I was close to being assassinated by this kiddo here.
N-not at all!
But, if that power you spoke of is true, don't ever use it again.
Or is there something you want to lose, even if it means gaining everything?
I don't know...
Honest, aren't you, kiddo?
Gakusho...
The intent to murder me she exhibited earlier is gone now...
Sir Swellow, what are you going to do with this?
A power that can paint it black...
It's called the "Dnatia Delight"
It can't be!
I heard alchemists created it from Dnatia's source of magic, black paint.
Black Paint...
Here in Nile Kamul, the power of the rolling stone
and Korean's magic aren't as effective as they are in the motherland.
You are aware of that, yes?
Yes, I heard about that before.
Ever since coming to this island, I really haven't been feeling the groove.
That's because this land is greatly affected by the Red Dragon's power.
But...
..with this single gadget, the land's magical properties will shift to that of Black Dragon.
If used properly, this entire island can be placed under the groove of Black Dragon.
But this island's water, crops, and groove itself are harmonized through Red Dragon's power.
If that is forcibly changed, then...
That is something a mere servant should not worry about.
"It's not illegal if it's used to defeat Red Dragon."
So says our Inquisitor...
So, it's our secret weapon to defeat Red Dragon?
I have faith that you will lead Dnatia to a bright future.
Groove is a systematic art that controls the world's energy through human will. It's often passed from master to disciple through mouth-to-mouth.
I'm going to Oragami Volcano.
Does this mean you trust my intuition?
Yes.
I want to see Red Dragon as soon as possible.
I'm sorry.
If it's painful to you, Eykha, then...
Ibuki, if that's how you feel, then I'll go too.
Because my emotions are exactly yours.
If I have to stand on that scale, then this isn't something I want to act on...
Are the Good Knight's emotions weighing down on him?
You need to go through the dessret to get to Oragamii Volcano, right?
Danger is dangerous!
Not to worry. We will accompany you to Fort Roseweise, situated near the volcano.
Oh, uhh...okay.
Good for you, gaining yet another date.
Meryl Streep...
Looks like we've reached a decision.
Can I believe in your spirit, Shady? Sol?
Yes!
Will you be accompanying us, Lord Ka Grava?
Didn't I say Red Dragon was my associate?
I can't turn my back on an associate.
Besides, don't you folks have needs to cover?
Oh!
Arigatou Gozaimasu!
But due to a certain someone, we'll need plenty of instruments,
so my company will prepare it.
C'mon, Meryl Streep...
Was it okay, leaving General Gakusho behind?
She isn't with us anymore.
It seems that she headed to the other side with her associates.
Well, isn't that a coincidence?
As you know, I have no idea what the forces of evil are up to.
Where's Ibuki?
He said something about wanting to speak with Ka Grava.
I see...
Ka Grava was my father and all the previous kings granted this power from Red Dragon
Yes, I am your father.
and you are my son, the power of the dragonflame.
The offering must be someone who is precious to me...
Like that of a firstborn child.
Hmm... I've never heard of such a thing before.
Is Red Dragon's insanity the reason that I've been cursed like this?
History makes note of a certain dead king
Dead King?
The power that Imperial held allowed him to raised those he made dead as Risen
Risens...!
Those who come back from the dead to assault the common folk?
But that's just a rumor...
I haven't met any Risens in reality...
But rumor says that those who are killed by the king of the dead
Will always rise as Risens, forming a force said to be at least a couple dozen.
Is that a power also granted by Red Dragon?
The dragons have the power to revive all of their friends
And the power to take the lives of others.
Killing and reviving, I feel this is all the same power.
If they're supposed to be the same, I'd rather have the power of revival...
Hey! This is supposed to be two day's worth of water for everyone!
Sorry...
I just wanted to have a drink throughout these hands of mine.
Sir Swellow is a matter of life or death.
Hm, my Ka Grava Car has a bit of reserve, but I keep that for myself. It isn't called the Ka Grava Car for nothing.
If that's the case, I'll sneak off ahead.\
If you'd like, we can just meet up later.
Are you okay going by yourself?
Yes...
Gotta go, bye
Where are you headed, Lou?
I won't let anyone get in the way of me offering myself to Red Dragon, my lord.
Oragami Volcano
No more...please, just stop!
What's this about?
We're not sure what happened, but these crazies just keep pouring out of the volcano.
Risen...
They were...Risens...
They walked through the lava as if it was nothing!
Arisen...
Do they really exist? 76400||81150||
Question them, and see if we can get information on Red Dragon.
Huh!
You...
So, that's what you're looking for...
Even if you're in debt to Kopaka,
There's no way a clear-headed person like you would willingly hurt Red Dragon.
If so, "this" "must" "be" "your" reason.
Lady Kopaka's research finally arrived from the motherland.
The Golden Ratio.
With that, we're supposed to be able to shift this land's groove to be that of Korean.
In other words, all magic besides that of Korean,
such as Dnatia's and Nile Kamul's would lose their power.
Of course, Red Dragon as well...
What a tranquil item...
If you want it, take it.
Thank you for your donation!
Wait.
That alone won't do any good.
Here, take this..!
Just as rumored, I see you have no hesitation in assassinating even allies, Louie Wah!
I have no idea what you had planned, but you've made a mistake in killing my subordinate! Wah!
You're...
Beautiful...
Fork it over..!
You have that rifle of yours.
I don't want the rifle!
I want you!
It seems that she had a counter strike ready.
She diverted my offensive by a bit.
One more strike should finish her off!
Lou...stop...
She won't make it anyways.
Leave her poultry soul... I'd rather you not let that female Black Dragon Knight get away.
Black Dragon... meaning Eureka?
Yes, I'm sure her body is quite wonderful...
Lady Gakusho!
..Lady Gakusho!
Hurry up and get the medics!
What...what are you trying to say!?
Next Day // Dnatia // Fort Rosweisse Desert Outskirts //
A little farther until Fort Rosweisse.
Which means that Oragamii Volcano is close, too!
-Ah. -Sorry about that, everyone.
I guess you'll have to feed me after all, Meryl Streep.
It seems like whatever instruments Sir Swellow use always break.
How...
It's a curse that I've had since I was a lad.
I've adapted to it and shed my childlike ambition.
Since childhood?
If it's a curse, don't you want to get rid of it?
Well, in all honesty, it's kind of nice to have an excuse for Meryl Streep to do everything for me...
Could it be that your power is a curse as well, Ibuki?
Mayhaps...
That's why if there's a way to get rid...
You can't be serious about letting such a wonderful power go to waste!
Hey now, hold on, whoa, stop right there!
Do you and Ibuki have something between each other, Lou?
How about you, Eureka?
Excuse me,
We decided to hurry speedily to Fort Rosweisse.
I will leave my guards with you.
That's fine, but did something happen?
The Risens...
Villagers fled their village.
They claimed that Risen had appeared.
You mean this soverign nation's legend of the dead rising?
Yes...I do believe it is a mistake, but...
I still need to investigate.
Now, then..
Cease!
I said, cease!
Could they be the Risens!?
No!
Ka Grava! Sir Swellow!
Gakusho...?
It can't be...
She's a Risen!?
End of Saga 5: Invoke the Plume
shout out to my man Gen Urobuchi
Act 6
Act 6: The Oxford Comma
People keep on throwing themselves to Ibuki, wanted to be murded by his curse.
Will he ever find inner peace?
