Infinite time stopped beating its heart, and humans burnt away without making any noise.
Not one person notices as the world becomes dislocated and is covered in the flames of Guze.
And stain this sky red.
Just walk through the coming times with your own body.
People that walk by you and things that get lost in the mess are all memories that will disappear.
Violently shaking strength...
Transiently wavering weakness...
After all, they'll come to the same end.
Such a day melts the red mist
As the sun rises, the world is stained in crimson.
Draw a line as the wind blows you.
Tips of hair flowing like water spear the enemy.
Forsaken loves and dreams that well up.
All I have to do at this moment is to complete the mission with these hands.
Y- You just can't take Yuji!
Yes, I can. I will tell Sakai-kun that I love him, and I won't let you bother me, you cheater!
I'm not a cheater!
If I say "No," it's no!
Yuji is my...
Yuji is my... what?
It's better for Yuji to be with me!
That's not true!
It's up to Sakai-kun to decide that!
You don't know anything about Yuji, either!
I will get to know him!
Impossible!
Why?
If I say impossible, it's impossible!
I declared it to you.
I won't lose. I'll never lose to you.
There's no mistake; inside that Mistes is Reiji Maigo.
Here, this is yours.
What's wrong, Shana?
What do you mean?
"What?" Well...
You seem annoyed.
Shut up, shut up, shut up.
You're going to make melon bread taste bad.
I won't lose. I'll never lose.
You don't even know how to eat melon bread?
Eh?
You see, you have to eat the crispy part first, then you eat the soft part.
And then you eat the crispy part again.
Then the soft part again. If you do that, you can enjoy the two different textures in balance.
Do you get it?
Okay.
Good.
What's with all the artificial flavoring?
This store doesn't understand anything about what melon bread should be like.
You really love it.
Just commenting on how much you love melon bread.
Love?
Yeah.
There are only two things I know about Shana:
she is a Flame Haze and she loves melon bread.
But I feel as though those two things are two very important parts of her,
since I'm sure there is a reason why Shana loves melon bread this much.
That is the story, ~de arimasu, Flame of Heaven.
And so, what do you think?
Most fitting ~de arimasu.
Balanced in power and knowledge, looks beyond current studies, wise not to indulge in its comprehension,
and does not allow one to be indolent.
Above all else, what stand out the most, and are hardly observed in others, are her pride and her innate fighting abilities ~de arimasu.
Without even reflecting on past examples, she is the best candidate ~de arimasu.
And she was an orphan baby we took in on a whim.
The misfortune was an accident.
My being there was an accident, as well.
It was also an accident that there was nowhere else for her to go but this Tendou-kyu.
Note: "Tendou-kyu" means "Road to Heavenly Palace"
What is it? Are you unsatisfied about something?
It is impossible you have not noticed ~de arimasu.
I sense it now and then ~de arimasu.
The side of her that she does not show to us.
I feel as though she is keeping something hidden from us ~de arimasu.
That she has something she does not... something she cannot... show us in her heart.
You're right. But it is the same for us.
Yes.
You still cannot land a hit on Shiro ~de arimasuka?
Wilhelmina.
You came back from shopping?
Yes.
So where's the usual gift?
It is the result of your blunder ~de arimasu.
This clothing isn't suited for battle!
It's too long, and it gets in the way of my legs.
I can't follow Shiro's movement with this.
In the world outside of Tendou-kyu, it is clothing worn by ones with high combat ability ~de arimasu.
But...
In reality, I have witnessed a person wearing that perform a great battle ~de arimasu.
You meanie, Wilhelmina.
It is not mean...
...it is a compliment ~de arimasu.
Guze no Tomogara who eat humans;
Flame Haze who hunt them.
Is the outside world really...
I'll get him this time.
I'm fine. I said I'm fine.
Where is it ~de arimasuka?
The right rib.
Need first aid?
I don't need it.
Doesn't it actually hurt?
If you touch a place like that, of course I'd be surprised!
You are being poor mannered ~de arimasu.
Good night.
There is plenty of time left ~de arimasu.
Hey, Alastor.
Will you tell me that story again?
The one about the Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter.
Are you going out again today?
The earliest I will be returning will be this evening.
I will have lunch ready in the microwave ~de arimasu.
What is left of the shopping is...
...only the gift ~de arimasu.
An unrestricted spell.
It has already been confirmed.
But its presence is very small ~de arimasu.
Take caution.
Recently, it has been continuously active ~de arimasu.
It is most reasonable to think it will not be able to pinpoint our position ~de arimasu.
Never let your guard down.
Roger.
But sensing the Tendou-kyu is impossible, no matter what unrestricted spell is used ~de arimasu.
It was worth setting a web. Now the Tendou-kyu's...
T- Thousand Martial Leader-dono!
I never guessed Thousand Martial Leader-dono would be in Asia.
If it's a direct of order of the leader of Balle Masque, Bel-Peol-sama, then I have no choice.
Is there a large-scale mission in progress?
You should know about our side being eliminated one after another.
Yes, which means some serious Flame Haze is...
Our capable men have been hunted.
There is no doubt a strong one is out there.
Do you have any information?
I only have a little more to go before finding the Tendou-kyu.
I won't let him steal the glory I'm about to obtain.
You! What did you find?
Yes, I spotted an enemy a minute ago.
Oh, so who is this enemy that you found?
There's no doubt that it's a strong Flame Haze.
We might be able to gain some information about the one you're searching for.
Good.
No matter who it is, I shall crush it with my power.
Yes, thank you very much for your help.
I hope he doesn't kill it before it enters the Tendou-kyu.
How can I win against Shiro?
Geez.
I know.
Done.
Shiro is the one who taught me that a surprise attack is a basic tactic in battle.
Cursing Eye Vine...
...you have to help me.
The insolent fools who kill our allies...
...and the tools they use to hunt, Flame Haze.
Many. Kill many of them for me.
Bel-Peol-sama.
Soon...
Soon, I shall be able to present you with the best... the greatest success.
I mustn't spoil her ~de arimasu.
But... No... But...
Closing in.
Roger.
Confirmed ~de arimasu.
Escape.
Give up the baggage, then escape ~de arimasu.
You're an unfamiliar face, Flame Haze.
Thousand Martial Leader, Orgone ~de arimasuka?
Correct.
What's wrong? Why won't you change into your battle form?
Or are you a new one who cannot use her powers at all since she was just contracted?
After all, it was only from Vine.
I can't count on him.
I shall crush it in an instant.
First, group of Hogier, come forth!
Next, group of La Hire, come forth.
If you're not going to take change, I shouldn't have to use all four cards.
Thousand Martial Leader, Orgone's power, Legion.
It hit.
H- How was it? Did it surprise you?
W- What's going on?
There it is... I found it.
The Tendou-kyu!
Emergency ~de arimasu.
Yes! Ýt's great!
The world is moving for me!
Strong one...
I... will face a strong one...
Those born with the dawn
Do not lose sight of it.
You are you, girl, it is time.
Shake it off and stand up!
There is not a single way to just gaze at you as you run through the wind
With that hidden wounded heart.
Are those eyes of yours searching for the you that stands somewhere ahead of you?
But I can hear your deep sad heartbeat...
Screaming!
I'm just telling, the darkness before the dawn
Could even determine the fate of the life
Don't worry girl, it is time.
There's no need to be mortified or be ashamed.
Far away...
Carry the cross on your back and run through the fire ready to die.
The Guze no Tomogara who raids.
The worst Mistes, Tenmoku Ikko.
In the quaking Tendou-kyu, the girl starts on her path to becoming Flame Haze.
Next time, The Day the Flame Was Born.
