A heartbeat that lasts for eternity...
Lives consumed in soundless balls of fire.
No one can tell when the world is displaced...
...and the flames of the Crimson World sweep over all.

My days together with Shana were becoming quite the norm.
At times I would even forget that she's a Flame Haze.
She was looking that much more like an ordinary girl to me.
However, the training that began after the battle against Friagne...
...would quickly bring me and my distracted thoughts back to reality.
Ouch!
I'm reminded that Shana is a strong, complete Flame Haze.
Entangled Feelings
Sakai Oh, no. Oh, no.
Sakai
- You're late. - Sorry!
Let's begin.
Like yesterday, sense the "kill" and avoid the attack.
Mm-hm!
That looked good on her.
Ow!
Stop daydreaming!
I-I know.
You don't have to hit me so hard!
There's no meaning in this unless I use a certain level of force.
If you don't like it, hurry and learn how to avoid it.
So far, I've only worked on keeping my eyes open. I can't learn this so suddenly!
You're feeling the "kill"...
...so you should be able to determine a simple attack.
It's like playing Rock Paper Scissors while knowing what the opponent will use.
What?
You just learned about Rock Paper Scissors...
...yet you boldly use it for your explanation.
You're talking like you know everything.
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Stop talking nonsense during our training!
Hey! Wait! Not so sudden!
Attacks always come all of a sudden!
But...! That's too quick!
How pathetic.
It's because you talk nonsense that you end up in such embarrassing situations.
I told you to wait, so you could've waited a little!
An enemy will not wait.
I know that, but this is a training session!
Making excuses only makes you look bad.
Oh, no. It tore.
If that were a Denizen, you'd be eaten by now.
Whatever you say.
That's enough for today, don't you think?
We'd better get ready for school.
Yuji...
Huh? Where's Yu-chan?
Are you done already?
Yuji decided on his own to end it.
Just because the training wasn't going his way.
It sure looks like he was beaten up badly.
He was in worse shape before...
...but it never appeared to bother him.
Maybe he realized how un-cool and awkward he looks.
Awkward?
Shana-chan, you're a cute girl who's smaller than him.
From a boy's point of view...
...being beaten up soundly by you can be pretty embarrassing.
It can't be helped, since I'm stronger than he is.
But boys have a tendency to show off in front of others.
Especially in front of girls by whom they want to be looked upon favorably.
Me, look favorably upon Yuji?
I just want Yuji to...
Have a nice day!
After school today, I'll set up a Seal so we can work on some bigger moves.
Mm-hm.
Will it be okay, suddenly working on much bigger things?
We're training so that it will be okay.
Well, I guess you're right about that.
...being beaten up soundly by you can be pretty embarrassing.
As we continue training, you'll appear less lame.
Is that your way of encouraging me?
I'm just telling you the obvious.
That must mean I look really lame right now.
Melon Bread
What was that all about?
It doesn't matter one bit whether you look lame or not.
What's important is for you to get stronger so we can fight together.
Much stronger.
Wait, I've got a one yen coin.
Grade 10, Class 2
Wanna buy lunch at the store today?
Grade 10, Class 2 Yeah.
How's Big Sister doing?
The same.
No improvements?
But when Big Sister does get better, she'll probably leave this city, right?
Probably?
Hm?
Don't get me wrong, I do want her to get better!
I swear!
I gotcha. I gotcha.
I'm hungry.
Ogata-san.
Huh?!
Let's eat together.
Ah, sure.
Did you make these, Kazumi? Looks so fancy!
I'm amazed, Yoshida-san.
I got the recipe from a friend, so I wanted to try it out.
Thank you!
Um, please enjoy. Do you not like sweets?
Sure, I'll have one. Thank you.
Please have one if you'd like, Yukari.
Thanks.
Mmm! Delicious!
Much better than the store bought ones!
Yup, tasty!
R-Really?
Yoshida-san, you're quite a cook.
N-Not really. I just enjoy cooking.
It's good... but....
it's... not good.
Excuse me!
Are the library committee members here?
Yes! That'll be me and her.
Oh, do you have a moment?
We're told that the restacking of the books has been rescheduled for today.
Please come to the library after school.
T-Today?
Each class is to send two people, so if you can't make it, find a replacement.
Thanks!
Can't you make it?
I'm visiting my grandmother at the hospital today.
With my whole family.
I see.
Then Sakai, why don't you go and help Yoshida-san?
Huh?
I have prep school today, but you're not doing anything, are you?
Well, no.
Then it's decided!
Yoshida-san? You don't mind, do you?
But, I'd be imposing...
We need two from this class anyway.
I'll do it.
Thank you! You're a great help!
You can't go!
Huh?
Wh-Why not?
After school today, I' II set up a Seal so we can work on some bigger moves.
What? Do you have plans?
Well, I asked Hirai-san to show me her notes later.
Hirai-san, we'll do it another time. Sorry.
She seems upset.
I was the one who asked her.
I'll apologize to her properly.
Shana. Sorry.
But it's a school committee meeting...
...and we can do our training later tonight.
I told you that we'll do it after school today.
But it can't be helped!
You should refuse.
But I already said I'd do it, so I can't go back on my promise now.
Getting you trained is more important!
Yeah, but school's important too.
What you'll be doing isn't important!
And we agreed to it first!
I apologized about that!
You're the one who asked to be trained, Yuji!
You're right...
...but what's wrong with taking a day off?!
You're not serious enough about this!
That's not true!
In any case, today's not good!
Why not?!
It's just not!
That's not a reason!
I'm staying for the committee meeting!
You have to train more, Yuji!
You're really weak, and really awkward!
Right now, you're of no use to me!
That's why...!
I know that already.
Yuji...
Grade 10, Class 2 How was Hirai-san?
Oh, she wasn't at all upset.
She says she just said it without thinking.
Is that all?
So I guess you're staying late with Sakai today, Yoshida-san.
Yes.
Oh, Shana-chan. Are you alone? Where's Yu-chan?
He's staying for something called a committee meeting.
Oh. Then why not wait for him inside?
I made some delicious pudding.
Hmm...So you live alone, Shana-chan?
That must be tough.
Not really. I'm used to it.
Delicious. Chigusa's is much better.
I'm glad to hear that.
Hey, Shana-chan. Stay for dinner tonight.
History A-3
Damn.
What'll I do?
I'll be walking home with Sakai-kun.
What'll I talk about?
What if I run out of things to say?
Are you all right?!
Yes.
Hey, I heard about this a moment ago, but you know Hirai-san from Class Two?
Apparently, she's gotten one hundreds on all her tests.
I heard that.
And she's been amazing in Phys Ed as well.
I guess such girls do exist.
U-Um...
Huh?
Well, um...
I wanna ask him about Yukari-chan.
If I continue just thinking about it and worrying to myself, I...
What do you think about Yukari-chan?!
Huh?!
Those girls from Class Three were talking about her.
She's really something, isn't she?
Yeah. She really is something.
That's right.
To the extent that it's overwhelming.
I'm such a fool. I'm such a coward.
Sakai I'm home.
Yu-chan, you're awfully late today.
Shana-chan's already eaten dinner and taken a bath.
What do you think?
It used to be mine, but Shana-chan's agreed to wear it.
Ah, yeah. It looks good on you.
Yu-chan. It's late, so please walk her home.
Mom would be shocked if she found out you're staying in my room at night.
Shana?
We'll begin today's training.
Forget it. It's late.
Yuji!
Bye.
Why?
The bottom line is, he's a worthless commoner after all.
If only a Denizen would come.
Even a Flame Haze would do.
If a battle began, I'm sure Yuji would...
It's come!
One really came.
Power of existence. My power of existence.
Huh? What's this? A Rinne?
Looks that way.
What a poorly set up Seal.
Aren't you going?
I don't mind going.
But no poems come to mind.
Huh? You can't be serious! You're the Chanter of Elegies!
But it's the truth, so it can't be helped!
Not a word comes to mind.
I couldn't be in worse shape.
Perfect timing. Let's leave it to that little brat.
Yuji isn't coming.
Yuji isn't coming!
Why not?! I just wanted Yuji to...
What's that thing doing?
My...My...?
It's gone mad.
It's likely a Rinne who has lost its master.
Lost its master?
Then it'll disappear if left alone for a few days, right?
Mm-hm.
No matter how much power of existence a Rinne consumes...
...it cannot use the power for itself.
A Flame Haze!
You Tool for Destruction Attack, who killed my master!
But you cannot make me vanish. I will not vanish!
No, you will vanish.
No way! I will exist!
My...! My...!
What the...?! This guy's body is so flabby, it's difficult to cut!
Stop it! Stop shaving off my existence!
Don't perish! Don't perish!
Do you have plans to go out?
You've been acting restless, and you keep looking out the window.
I'm meeting a friend.
But it doesn't really matter if I don't go.
Really?
I won't be of any help even if I do go.
Is that what your friend told you?
Or is that what you said?
Ow!
Existence. Power of existence.
Give it up!
You're gonna vanish no matter how much you eat!
I will not vanish! I will not vanish!
Bastard.
Although it has a big body, its core is likely quite tiny.
We must keep cutting it to pieces until we crush that core.
Mm-hm.
My existence!
I must eat more... Power of existence!
I'm telling you, it's useless!
Ow! Stop it! That hurts! It hurts!
Shut up!
Don't erase me! Don't cut my existence!
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Excuse me.
Hey, Yu-chan.
Do you think your friend wants you to come...
...because your friend finds you helpful?
Huh?
I believe that there are times...
...when you can be of help to another, just by being with that person.
Excuse me.
You're excused.
I believe that there are times...
...when you can be of help to another, just by being with that person.
But Shana can fight even if I'm not with her.
Because Shana's strong.
Shana? Sha...!
I don't wanna vanish.
Why? Why?
Because you're a Rinne.
Stop it! I don't wanna be erased!
Stop it!
Stop! Stop!
I...exist...
Shana.
Are you all right, Shana?
I'm all right. I'm not hurt.
I'm used to this sorta thing.
I'm just a little tired.
Shana. Sorry.
Yuji. Why?
It hurts, Yuji.
It hurts to be alone.
Shana...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I left you alone.
Yuji. Become stronger.
A lot stronger.
Mm-hm. I will.
I'll become stronger.
So that we can remain together.
You're filthy!
Don't get any of that garbage on me!
Wow!
This kid's loaded!
He must be the child of some billionaire!
Hey, why don't you shout for help in English?
Next batter, hitting fourth, the first baseman...
Stop it, you roaches!
Huh?
- Wow! Look at her?! - What do we have here?!
Enter the little princess?
Dear brother, you mustn't.
When I ask you to wait, you really must wait.
Mm-hm. I've been waiting.
I haven't eaten these guys yet.
Oh, my. Dear brother.
Huh?
What the hell are you talking about, huh?
It's all right now, dear brother.
You may help yourself to them.
- Huh? - Hm?
What?
My, that was very good of you, dear brother.
You've learned to leave enough of them to make a torch.
Y-Yeah.
Because you told me that's what I should do, Tiriel.
I'm pleased, dear brother.
Man, those siblings truly amaze me.
"Engulfed in Self-Love" Sorath, and "Engulfed in Love for Others" Tiriel.
