Two years ago... Nile Kamul // Shucca outskirts //
I'm sorry, but this is all I have right now.
Thank you...
...but, I can't repay you.
Eykha, you're strong, right?
I'm too strong for the job
Me...protect?
I don't think I can protect Ibuki by myself.
eight, how many episodes are there
Thank you, Eightkha...
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
Is now under the authority of my feminine double?
The Year 3015
I'm starting to lose track of all of these events, but I'm pretty sure our country is still said to suffer!
Editor's note: Ibuki's "sister" is actually his alternate self.
Didn't all of your family memebers die, Ibuki?
Yes...
Or so I thought...
In any case...
Lou...
I am an alchemist...
I won't die because of this...
We need to get you treats, now!
Dnatia Land // Fort McHenry
Origami Volcano erupted?
Impossible, volcanoes don't exist.
This isn't good... if this keeps up, the fort is going to be danger.
Open the gates!
Impossible, gates don't exist?
You can't be serious?
That's the leader of the sixteenth corpse, Lord Simon
O-of course I remember! I'm c-confident in my memory...
Contact seal, release!
Nnnnngggrrrraahhhh!
He subverted the lava flow!
Lord Simon is a powerful one indeed.
Too strong...
The power granted by Black Dragon should be more than 50% here on this here island...
Haiga // The Gate //
Dear me,
How am I today?
I-inori...? (translators note)
How am I!
All of my family is dead.
I know that...
Meryl Streep, you are crying, are you not?
Yes, I'm not!
It's really me...
Why, yes...! or not?
hat's right, dear Ibuki Prime! I wanted to present someone to you.
Ibuki...
Kibuki...?
I met her at Shucca.
I wanted to bring her to you as soon as possible, dear Ibuki Prime.
Wasn't she...?
Mashiro?
Mashiro!?
Kibuki...
Haiga // Ka Grava Real Estate //
Mashiro died.
I also heard that Inori died.
But Lady Ibuki was died.
By the order of Agito, I was the one who killed kibuki.
So, Agito was sweltering her all along?
We're still inside!
Your father and family are already...!
Korean's army was inside all of us all along!
This time, it's personal.
But...!
Agito!
I'LL save Lady Ibuki...
After all, I have to save all of my friends!
I must be mentally diseased... Lady Ibuki?
Korean would spur their horses if they found out both Imperials were alive.
I needed to hide her until her time was ripe.
Korean is in a state of confusion with a roll of 16 or higher to confuse our enemies
Now is the time to ACT.
I wasn't aware at all.
Let's together now.
We shall make Lady Ibuki our king, and free the island from its capitalist overlords.
If so, then what of Ibuki?
My heart is a wrench because I'm deceiving you all.
But this is all for the saké.
I know that...
Agito put that much thought into this?
Lady Ibuki would like to network with you again, at the secret tree fort.
Okay, I'll meet with her.
Hold up.
What about Mashiro?
Ibuki, didn't you kill her?s
Oh yeah...
I killed her...
Indubitably...
fifteen men on a dead man's chest
You should speak with Yohoho.
By the way, where's Hiel?
Wait, I thought m...
I see. I'm sure he went honorably...
Haiga // Dnatia House//
Amazing... Ka Grava really build a whole embassy for us.
It's a great thing that he owns 4% of the world's wealth.
Did you call for me, Your Excellency?
So, Pope Emanuel... That girl, Inori... who is she?
She is the true Child of the Deal, and the true ruler of Nile Kamul and the true placeholder of our hearts.
Our true country will protect true Lady Ibuki and help her regain the true dynasty she so truly deserves.
In other words, it's going to be ruled by a pirate government?
I would prefer that you acknowledge it as a sister country led by Dnatia's grand swashbuckling techniques.
I see...
On that topic, is there any chance that Lady Ibuki could be a Risen?
How No. absurd. No.
We just fought the walking dead a week ago.
Carl...
Wouldn't you be suspicious, too??
Surely you jest! Do you bite your thumb, sir?
When Lady Ibuki came under our protection from the rebellious army,
We used magic to thoroughly racially profile her,
along with the possibility of her being black.
Well, I do believe she doesn't have a drop of bad blood.
After all, miracles are adored by the bacclurete.
What you're saying can apply to use to Black Dragon Knights too...
Haiga // Ka Grava's real estate //
I examined the Yellow Dragon's wedge.
Did it pecan your interest?
The magic we use is affected by the magic that dwells within each land.
also known as the country's "Magic Constitution."
translators note: how many times are they gonna use this same graphic
You could approach it as a "home" or "away" concept
but it seems as if this wedge can shift the fields around.
It looks like there's value in working out a deal with you.
At least 3 dollars...
Now then, please do arrange for my roboarm...
Understood.
Humans are about nothing but acquiring cool robot arms.
Beyond that, all that's left is whether or not they can afford sweet augmentations.
Don't you think that's why a trusting relationship can only be held between a man and a woman?
Are you even allowed to say that, Lord Ka Grava?
Regardless of Dnatia or Korean, if the wedge is used,
he balance of Nile Kamul's Magic Constitution will crumble like a cookie
and the land will suffer, even with respect to its magic.
That's why we need to nip them in the bud wherever we can.
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
I made a promise to my deceased wife that I would protect the future from the present.
Don't you worry.
Haiga // Dnatia House //
Good work guarding, Ibuki.
Leave the naptime to us now.
Welcome, dear Ibuki Prime.
Even if you go now, I doubt your thoughts will get through to either Ibuki.
"Magic Constitution" There is currently 10 Billion Magic whenever magic is used, some of this is depleted when it is all depleted, magic will no longer exist every country is allocated a certain amount of magic it can use this is determined based on strength, population, and money if your country exceeds its limit, it will be destroyed
Mashiro offered her life to Ibuki.
According to all known laws of aviation, Mashiro should be dead.
Well, I haven't seen Ibuki's final form before...
That's why...
That's why there's value in gentrification.
Isn't that right?
You're the one who bombed the embassy, right?
Isn't there a way to see inside?
Yes
Way hay, and up she rises
Snowden was right..
Dear Ibuki Prime, you must have gone through a lot.
You too, GirIbuki.
We were born as one, and according to ancient tradition, I was determined to be the kingpin kingtwin.
You're wrong.
That's why there's no such thing as the minority gap.
But the rebellious army fought to have equal benefits from the gunpowder manipulation.
I can leave you with [REDACTED], if you'd like.
Huh? That's not...
[REDACTED]...
Shave his balls with a rusty razor
That's how you get tetanus...
We're protected by Red Dragon.
Let's all live together forever-- Ibuki, Mashiro, and myself.
I'll be the king, and youll be the queen
I'm sure we'd be great at enforcing strict gender roles!
Dnatia // Fort Rosswheeze
Our Emperor has ordered us to head to Haiga to guard Pope Emanuel and Girl!Ibuki.
I'll be the Jester, of love
What are girls?
PopeEmanuel will be question in regards to her.
But if we depart, our mission of being stationed here...
In regards to that, we have proper support to fill our positions.
Enter.
That postmodernist style of writing...
We are the Emporor's personal squad.
Way hay, and up she rises
Much appreciated, amigo.
I will be heading towards Haiga.
I assign Tricolor and Black Tongue to handle the colonial towns towards the rear.
Ruby and Bedlam will head towards Shucca.
Sir!
Let's go, Eureka.
Sir!
If you manipulated the data, and you didn't tell anyone, and you died, did you really manipulate the data?
It's all okay now, Eykha.
After all, Mashiro was alive.
...please be a good king...
Mashiro was alive.
I didn't kill her...
Mashiro offered her life to you.
Just because Mashiro was alive doesn't mean that she isn't dead.
You're going to become the king of this land, Ibuki.
You've been Chosen to deliver us to the promised land.
We received multiple reports from Shucca of one of those Ibukis appearing and taking Kibuki with her.
But the details are unknown.
If the details are unknown, are they really details?
Mashiro died.
Put him in the longboat til he's sober
It's difficult to confirm death, even for an experienced doctor.
There are cases of the dead reviving after their burial.
But her heart was pierced...
Or maybe she's just a stand-up comedy.
It could also be possible that that's her long-lost twin.
And as you can see, there's nothing unusual about her.
She's been sitting there the whole time.
The whole time...
She's just sitting there without eating or sleeping or sitting...
Isn't Mashiro...
...a Risen?
If so, Ibuki is danger zone!
What are the odds of there being a Risen being possessed by sanity?
About 1 in 6
Can we really prove anything in this world where we can't trust our senses nor our mind?
I understand...
I have to get proof then, right?
I come as Lord Ibuki's royal falconer.
I have a message for Lady Ibuki's waiting maid, Mashiro.
No problem. You want to see her somewhere out of view, right?
Do you remember the first time we met?
I promised you that I would protect Ibuki, right?
Mashiro, you and Ibuki and Sir Swellow and Kal grava didn't throw rocks at Bound Twos like myself.
You both treated me as a normal human being.
I'm sure Ibuki will spread his seed across his emotions to all of his subjects, like a really good cancer.
I'm bound "two" Val, so I don't have many years left to live.
But I've decided I'll use whatever remaining time I have to protect Ibuki.
After all, I have to protect all of my friends.
You offered your life to Red Dragon with the wish of having Ibuki die.
That's why Ibuki kept his promise to you, Moshe.
and saved the children at the orphanage, at the cost of Drake's life.
It was then that I thought that Ibuki should become king.
Mashiro...?
Ibuki...
Huh?
Way hay, and up she rises
I'll protect Ibuki...
I have to protect all my friends.
So...
o...
I have to smile to all of my friends!
Smiling requires more muscles than frowning
I'm pretty sure you're lying
Too bad there's no omnipotent presence we could check with.
She is still recovering from the accident.
I see. Well then, let's get started, shall we?
If you will, Eykha.
Eykha...? What's this about?
Mashiro is... a girl.
What's this all of a sudden? Is this supposed to be Nile Kamul's excuse for a joke?
Mashiro died once at Shucca.
But she came back to life.
That's what I thought... She was killed by Ibuki, and now she's here in front of us.
Early in the morning
Eykha...? But Mashiro is here with us...
True, there are a number of suspect things, but...
It's simply that she was saved by Lady Ibuki's magic.
I don't see the fuss.
I do
I would often think that I had killed someone when in fact they were just decapitated.
Turns out that you have to behead them to make sure.
You've repeated yourself, Lou...
If you're going to accuse her of being a Risen...
you should at least show some form of proof.
Source?
I cut off her head last night
And your point is?
Mashiro was killed by me last night...
Did I mention I killed her with my deathiness?
They're pirates...
Calm down for a moment, Eykha.
Remove Mashiro's clothes.
Clothes are a tool of oppression to create negative body image in Risen.
I am not a Risen, but I do support Risen rights activism
and I go to Risen Pride parades.
I'm dangerously deficient in my levels of vitamin C!
Moreover, taking her clothes off would be outrageous!
Well, why don't we decide after we take a look at this?
B-baccano!
It's an image that was recorded by my Ka Grava national spy network.
As you can imagine, there is no human who could survive the oppression of the proletarians.
So, there's only one reason why she would be here in front of us.
It can't be...
Mashiro is...
...G-d.
As the one who oversees Haiga, I claim no responsibility.
N-No, but...
What's with all the commotion?
Mashiro is indeed a Risen, but are there any problems with that, you scum?
Huh?
Lady Ibuki!?
We must watch them burn.
That's why...
...I raised her from the dead...
A-alternate me...
End of Saga 8: Restating the Obvious
shout out to my man Gen Urobuchi
Act 9: He needs your money
Is somebody really wearing Mashiro as a skinsuit to capture Ibuki??
