Can you go out...?
...with me.
Yes.
Overture
Part 2
I heard Junko is going out with our grade's coolest guy.
Well, doesn't that mean Hamaguchi Yukio sure knows how to pick a girl?
And he ignores the girls who are following him.
Looks like she is sparkling.
It's because she thought that it was a crush, and gave up.
What now? Would you like to go to Joushi Park?
Didn't you say they sell tasty ice creams?
Yes, I'd like to.
You wore it.
Truthfully, it would've been prettier if I styled it a little more.
But I couldn't wait.
Since I'm not sure about your tastes yet.
I wonder if you're fine with that.
Yes, it's really pretty.
But isn't this expensive?
Ah... Well, I put some effort into it.
If you're please, it's fine.
Thanks, I'll keep it with care.
The light.
Okay!
Thanks.
It sure was fun.
Looks like we can have a good time here.
Let's come again.
That's nice, but next time, instead of visiting, let's play properly.
Okay.
How about next Saturday?
It's good.
Sunday, too?
It's good.
Okay. So, next week too.
Okay.
We'll be busy.
From now on, there are summer vacation, winter vacation and Christmas...
You're going too far.
They're nearby.
I wish we can always be together...
It will be.
I'm planning to do that.
Junko...
Did you think that high school students can do that?
It's wrong!
I didn't do anything wrong!
It's wrong.
In that place beside the school road.
You mustn't go out with that bad, irresponsible kid.
Hamaguchi-kun isn't that kind of a guy!
Taking a girl around for sexual desire is a common sense!
What? You don't even know anything!
Wait!
Let me go!
Junko!
I cannot get any information on the Tomogara from now.
As I've expected, Oogami Junko was eaten shortly after she gained conscious.
If there is a possibility of Tomogara, Hamaguchi Yukio should've made a contact with it.
Umm...
I'm sorry.
Wait a while.
Okay.
Excuse me, do you have some time?
I am a camera man...
I'm looking for a model like yourself.
I really would like to take photos of you.
A beautiful juvenile like yourself must be left in the film...
Please.
But my girlfriend...
At least until your girlfriend comes back...
His appearance is strange, but realistic.
If it's until Junko comes back, I guess it's ok.
Well, only for a few moment.
Thanks.
It's nice. Nice.
Thanks.
I took some good photos.
Are those photos going to be on any magazines?
I see.
Ah, please tell me the name of the magazine.
Besides, can you become my model for tomorrow too?
With clothes that are more beautiful than your uniform.
If you agree, I'll give you today's and tomorrow's photos.
And a small reward.
Really?
But I have school. so how's next Saturday?
It's fine.
Well then, please come next Saturday.
And after that, the Oogami Junko he saw was...
already a Torch.
If he is the Tomogara, the place and time works.
The combination of Guze no Tomogara and photographing is quite unusual, but...
In the past, there was a Tomogara that left a significant, excellent apprentice.
Even though there is one that likes photographs, it's not something to be surprised about.
True...
But I still don't understand why Oogami Junko was eaten, and Hamaguchi Yukio was safe.
That American Torch is mysterious too.
Anyway, let's meet and check the photographer with Hamaguchi Yukio tomorrow.
This has nothing to do with the Tomogara.
Junko.
Wait a moment.
If you are going to meet Hamaguchi-kun, you should wear this.
Let's go.
Ok.
This makes me feel good.
That's right. I should ask that photographer to take photos of us.
I know that there is a Tomogara in this town, but there has been no movement as usual.
It should be feeling my presence, and yet, it doesn't plan to fight me.
And there's no trail of eating another human.
Just what are it's intentions?
What?
Nothing, since you were making a serious expression, I was wondering whether it's not fun.
Fun?
Although you said you want to meet the camera man, did you change your mind?
If so, I'll do it alone...
It's not that.
Really?
I should act more ordinarily.
If it was Oogami Junko, what would she do?
Something that'd make Hamaguchi Yukio happy.
That...
My mother fixed it.
I see, you two are in good terms.
Thank God.
Let's stop the Tomogara.
Let's see, he hasn't come yet.
You mean the photographer?
The photographer?
Yes.
Yeah, last time, he suddenly started talking to me.
But this was the place, so let's wait a while.
Ok.
Was the place I blanked out far from here?
What're you saying? It's right there.
Close...
It was only 15-16 meters?
I'll buy you a drink. What would-
A drink that contains the name fruit juice.
The one that is sweet, but not sour.
What?
A sweet fruit juice.
Okay. Wait here.
Alastor, how is it?
If the photographer is the Tomogara, it was a very close distance.
When it ate Oogami Junko, Hamaguchi Yukio should've been inside the same Fuuzetsu.
Why didn't it eat them both?
Truthfully, this one is strange.
The shapes of desire are infinite in humans.
If it's a Tomogara that freely shows them, it's very diverse.
I wonder if he'll come.
Since I can't feel its presence.
Hamaguchi Yukio is gone!
What?
Why?
I was only looking away for 2-3 seconds.
It's impossible for a human. Which means...
I'm certain it's Guze no Tomogara.
How unskillful.
To be moving around with a disastrous trail...
But it was right in front of me, and yet I didn't feel any presence.
It's a small Tomogara to that extent?
Who would've thought that it'd carelessly kidnap right in front of a Flame Haze.
Damn.
How idiotic!
That's?
A car?
Why is it acting so obtuse?
Let's investigate later.
Fuuzetsu?
What are these?
Damn it! It's Enpatsu Shakugan.
What are you?
What are you doing here?
This is the true hell fire of the great devil's heaven.
Alright, these are all mine.
This forearmed Ukobaku-sama's.
Ukobaku?
It's a name I haven't heard.
These are the models that I will become someday.
The manifestation of the true characteristic is unusual nowadays.
This appearance is not something I wish for.
I'll study the appearances of the guys I've collected, and someday, I'll make the most beautiful appearance.
And make a satisfying appearance.
You caught humans because of that?
Meaning, you're making an appearance that doesn't suit your true nature?
That's right. Someday it'll be. It'll be like that.
It's impossible.
You are weak.
What did you say?
I was unnecessarily tired because the passion and desire inside your existence was blended with those of the humans.
You are weak.
Even if you make a satisfying appearance, to the extent where you can't maintain it,
And you know of that.
Even so, a brat that relies on "someday" can only become smaller and weaker.
It's useless.
Those tricks are not strong enough for Nietono no Shana.
Go back to Guze.
A Tomogara like you will only cause problems to this world, and achieve nothing.
You know this, right?
This guy isn't dead yet.
He's still alive.
My treasure is the Hougu of Apprehension.
He'll be locked up, and that's all he will be.
So?
Everyone, everyone is alive. It's just that they can't move.
Alive?
Then, the guy from 10 years ago...
He became filthy because he aged. So I ate him.
I only left a small amount of existence, but I was discovered.
How unfortunate.
Was it my fault that I caught him after he dressed up?
Or was it wrong to eat the girl who hindered my photographing?
Don't move!
He's still alive.
Did you think that hostages will work on Flame Haze?
You're wrong.
Don't you know how unbalanced it will be, if I eat this amount of alive humans?
Don't move!
I'll make you a souvenir for my victory.
Take this!
Where did she go?
Looks like the trapped humans are as they are.
It was a good decision not to destroy the Hougu.
Oh right, we are inside a car.
Stop it.
Seriously... until the very end...
It's already this time.
What would Junko be doing?
She's already that age...
Next time, if I invite him, will he come?
It isn't bad to get along with him starting now.
Someday...
I'm surely impatient.
Spanish?
No, is it Brazilian?
Does anyone know?
This one's Italian.
Anything is fine.
Give him some air.
What happened?
What happened to me?
Junko.
That's right, I was with Junko.
Where's she?
Thank God she's safe.
Junko...
Junko?
Good-bye.
Junko?
I wish we can always be together...
Why am I holding this?
Why?
What's wrong? You hurt?
This Tomogara was an easy one.
Seems so.
But blending with the humans is a pain.
Someday in the end of this wandering, there will be someone who will accept you as who you are.
I think that will only be a troublesome.
Next time, I wish I can fight a more difficult Guze no Ou.
Indeed.
Ooto...
And after that is Misaki.
And...
In Misaki-shi, we met by chance.
After that, there were many intense fights...
There were many other things too.
That day we separated.
Let's meet again.
Yuuji.
