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.
W- What's going on?
There it is... I found it.
The Tendou-kyu!
Emergency ~de arimasu.
Strong one...
I... will face a strong one...
Can't even move?
Must hurry and return ~de arimasu.
Agreed.
You think I would let you go?
W- What?
T- This is... impossible...
Shiro...
Is it my fault?
Is it... because of my... prank?
I'm sorry!
I... just wanted to show you...
I just wanted to show you...
That I can pull that off now.
That I can beat you now.
Shiro. I'm sorry, Shiro.
I see, so it's thanks to you.
I don't know the details, but let me thank you.
A human?
No, he's a Guze no Tomogara!
That's right; look at your unbelieving face.
Hey, I want to ask just in case...
What are you?
Who are you?
I am...
Yeah? "I am..."?
...one... who will become... a Flame Haze.
So someone who's not a Flame Haze yet?
I found you! This is the best!
It's the best answer I could wish for!
After all, obstructing the resurrection of the Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter is a great success that no one can ignore!
Is that what Alastor was saying? Is that what controlling power of existence is?
That's how humans are broken down?
Is that how you eat humans?
Yeah, as I always do.
Always...
The enemy of Flame Haze.
Hey, you're shaking.
Goodbye. I pray that you can be born into a better life in your next one.
There cannot be any path better that this one.
I'll choose this path every time.
I will become a Flame Haze.
I've decided.
I will become a Flame Haze!
You'll have to give it up this time.
I have just returned ~de arimasu.
Wilhelmina!
We will talk later ~de arimasu.
It looks like it is time ~de arimasu.
For all of us.
This isn't Shiro's fault!
I'm the one who's bad!
I-
I am not blaming him ~de arimasu.
If a Tomogara is here, it means our life here is no longer needed ~de arimasu.
It means it is not necessary to be here ~de arimasu.
No! No, I don't want that!
I'm definitely going to become a Flame Haze!
No, no, no!
Please, Wilhelmina, I don't want that!
You misunderstand ~de arimasu.
You are completely wrong ~de arimasu.
What do you...
It means you are ready ~de arimasu.
It means that this life of training is no longer necessary, and the time to live as a Flame Haze has come ~de arimasu.
Shiro!
Reinforcements will be coming ~de arimasu.
Please fight as much as you can with the power you have left and buy us some time ~de arimasu.
Wilhelmina?
We are going ~de arimasu.
You're not getting away!
Damn you!
I'm worried about Shiro.
He is fine.
Hey, Wilhelmina.
Wilhelmina, are you... a Flame Haze?
Indeed, I am ~de arimasu.
I am the Flame Haze of one of the Kings of Guze, Illusionistic Crown, Tiamat.
The Manipulator of Objects, Wilhelmina Carmel, is my name ~de arimasu.
Nice to meet you.
That voice belongs to the King of Guze, Tiamat, who resides in me ~de arimasu.
A very unsociable person ~de arimasu.
Why didn't you ever tell me?
So as not to give you preconceptions ~de arimasu.
I wanted you to find your own ideal to aim for, polish it in your own heart, and decide on it yourself ~de arimasu.
Although it seemed as though it was unnecessary.
Because I want to live as a Flame Haze.
Did it make you a little happy?
I was never not happy.
I know.
You hold both me and yourself in high regard.
I'm sure.
Correct ~de arimasu.
What? That's impossible.
Why is it here?
Why is that thing that does harm to Guze in front of me?
Tenmoku Ikko!
What a surprise; that's Tenmoku Ikko ~de arimasu.
Tenmoku Ikko?
The worst Mistes in the world.
There are some that call it a monster Torch ~de arimasu.
It's an invincible Mistes that searches for strong Tomogara and kills them ~de arimasu.
Carelessly attacking it is highly dangerous ~de arimasuna.
Defense.
Roger.
G- Go away.
Go away.
Go away, go away, go away, go away, go away!
Everything would have all worked out soon.
And... what is this?
No way. There's no way I'd win against this guy!
Wait.
Wait a minute!
What happened to Orgone?
Don't tell me he...
I get it, so this guy has been killing the members of Balle Masque.
Bel-Peol-sama, please protect me!
That armored samurai?
It appears that because the Koutenken broke down the outer wall,
the location of Tendou-kyu has been revealed ~de arimasuna.
Is the Koutenken the rainbow that Shiro shot?
What happened to Shiro?
Do not worry ~de arimasu.
He has done what he could in his state and has stopped since he cannot do anymore ~de arimashou.
Stopped?
He never dies before fulfilling an oath once made ~de arimasu.
Why won't Tenmoku Ikko just kill the enemy before him?
I assume it's because he has the Flame of Heaven set as his target ~de arimasu.
Agreed.
He wants to fight with Alastor, who's a stronger Tomogara.
For a while, I will be stopping the Tomogara and the others that follow ~de arimasu.
And in the meantime, I will make a contract with Alastor.
If both agree, it should be finished in an instant ~de arimasu.
After that, you need only to follow the Flame of Heaven's instructions ~de arimasu...
...in order to fulfill the duty as Flame Haze.
However, the problem is whether I am able to buy that much time alone ~de arimasu.
If it's only that Tomogara, won't it be easy?
Judging by his level of presence, the odds are with me winning ~de arimasu.
Agreed.
Tell me about Tenmoku Ikko.
What should I do?
If I make any stupid moves, he'll definitely strike me.
Tenmoku Ikko.
You fool, have you come to commit suici...
You're joking!
That girl knows.
She knows that he doesn't hurt humans.
Tenmoku Ikko, what is it that you seek?
If you seek a battle with a Flame Haze, then guide me;
then I shall present you with the battle you seek;
the Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter will.
The Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed... Hunter?
That's right!
You are one who will become strong.
I will face a strong one.
Like I'd let you go!
Your opponent is me ~de arimasu.
Yes... when next we meet...
I'll kill you.
I'll kill all those who humiliate me.
It'll be a slaughter!
So the time has come.
When making the contract, please share what you are hiding in your heart with the Flame of Heaven ~de arimasu.
I know.
I found the answer today.
I'll accept anything.
I'll tell what I'm hiding.
Alastor is the first person I have to let know.
Yes.
So let's go.
I'm sure the shining flame-hair and red-hot-eyes will suit you and look attractive ~de arimasu.
Faster!
The more you hurry, the faster the battle you seek will come!
How greedy Flame Haze are ~de arimasuna.
There is nothing I need to hold back.
Set Jinki Persona.
Roger.
All set.
Complete.
You're the Manipulator of Objects?
I always wanted to face you once ~de arimasu.
Begin.
Let us start.
Wait a little bit longer, okay.
We must hurry and make a contract.
Wilhelmina said to tell you what I'm hiding.
You have a secret, too, don't you?
My hunter is given a special spell which allows me to come forth:
Tenpa Jyousai.
That breaks the Flame Haze who is your container.
Farewell.
I hope your flame never goes out.
I love you, Flame of Heaven, Alastor.
My contractor will use that spell if needed to in order to fulfill the mission.
You had other roads to take, yet we tied you down to such a path,
bound by naught but our love.
I know.
I love you, too.
I love everyone.
You didn't want to use that spell, right?
Whenever you told me the story of the Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter,
you sounded very happy, and yet very sad.
Thank you for telling me.
But still, I am making this choice.
This path...
Even if the container breaks, the mission must be accomplished;
that is the Flame Haze's path.
My story comes before that.
I was always in doubt...
...about how Flame Haze fight Guze no Tomogara in order to maintain the balance of the world.
I see.
I will see it for myself and decide if it is true myself.
I'm sorry, Alastor. I'm a bad girl.
No matter how much others love me...
no matter how much I love others...
if I don't find it right, I can't do it.
He's in the way of our battle. Kill him!
Great King of Guze, Flame of Heaven, Alastor.
I respect thy will.
As thy container, reside in my body.
Let us fulfill the mission as a Flame Haze until the day death claims us.
Alastor... so this is you.
What... what a hot flame.
So this... so this is the flame of heaven!
Choose the Jinki you desire.
A pendant,
so you can become a clear eye that sees everything.
Welcome to our world, The World of Pandemonium,
The Garden of Battle,
my Flame Haze.
Welcome inside of me, Flame of Heaven, Alastor.
I am...
I am Flame Haze.
The Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter!
All was a promise from long ago.
The ones that were given the flame, the girl who succeeded the flame.
So starts the beginning of the end.
Next time, The Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter.
