Vladivostok, Russia
Who's there?!
Are you in charge of Vladivostok?
Indeed. Let's hear your name.
Haimura Moroha.
It's you...
Where's the Lightning Emperor?
Then you shall test my loyalty!
Not bad. But my barrier has the approval of the Lightning Emperor herself.
I remember!
Write!
Dance, dance, spear of the lightning god.
What?!
No!
Come thunder, come rumbling. None of this world lives forever.
Stop chanting! Don't tarnish our lord's sacred land!
Ephemeral sparkles, embrace pleasure. It is the banquet of killing.
Thunderstorm Helix!
Did you kill him?
Of course not.
I'm not killing anyone in this war.
A fake passport and a fake visa.
I wouldn't expect less from UK Headquarters.
Damn it, why do I have to be away from Edward-sama to take care of this kid?
Please don't say that.
Edward-sama is no better,
cooperating with a personal war against the Russian headquarters.
What if this becomes public?
That's why I don't want you to be involved, Angela-san.
You don't have to tell me that.
So, what do you mean by you won't be killing anyone in this war?
It means exactly what it sounds like.
Unfortunately for you, I don't know where the Lightning Emperor is.
I thought you'd say so.
What?
Don't you want to inform the Lightning Emperor that I'm here to wage war?
Hey, what the heck are you thinking?
I'm going to be talking to the Khabarovsk leader next.
You could inform her on that, too.
Wait, wait.
You're here to wage war, aren't you?
Why would you give the enemy information?
I don't want to waste time taking prisoners or interrogating people.
You Japanese people sure are naïve.
One can't be blamed for accusing you of having gone senile from the peace.
Hey, he's mocking you, Haimura.
Naïve, huh?
Y-You...
Do you have dreams about your past life?
And do you remember them?
Of course, why would you even ask?
I do, too.
I'm always standing alone on the battlefield, fighting countless enemies.
Japanese people are naïve?
Senile from the peace?
What the hell are you talking about?
Wait...
Let's go, then.
Hey, wait. Haimura!
He's a Rank A Russian.
That won't kill him.
That may be, but isn't the Lightning Emperor who you're really after?
It's simple.
Neither Edward's intel nor interrogating district leaders will tell me
where the Lightning Emperor is.
So I just have to wreck all the district leaders, one by one.
Then the Lightning Emperor will have to mobilize.
But it'll be a nuisance if the others meet up and start another battle.
Well, I don't think we'll run into any other people from the Russian Branch.
Apparently they'd be disciplined immediately if they mess up.
I hope so.
Their loyalty to the Lightning Emperor is extreme.
What if they inform the Lightning Emperor accepting that they'll die?
That's not completely implausible,
but that's exactly why I don't want to kill anyone in this war.
It's not because you're naïve?
No, it's better that way for sure.
You'll understand soon.
Jack-in-the-box.
You really are a man full of surprises.
Raise your head, Bernard.
I forgive you.
Skip the greetings.
State your purpose.
I am sleepy.
I... I was defeated by Haimura!
And?
O-Ordinarily I would ought to kill myself.
However, if I am to die either way, I would like to take Haimura with me.
That must not be.
I do not accept failure.
Die.
Then one more thing!
You're persistent.
Haimura couldn't kill me with his Thunderstorm Helix.
Did you hear that, people?
You are impressive indeed.
I know your loyalty well.
I will make good use of your life.
I am deeply grateful.
Yes, noble.
Dance, dance, dragon of lightning bolts.
Bring forth the blue lightning.
None of this world live forever. Ephemeral sparkles, embrace pleasure. Destroy all in the blink of an eye.
Do not regret being late, it is the banquet of killing.
Thunderbolt Dragon!
S-See that, Haimura?
This is the true might of the Lightning Emperor.
You'll never come close!
This is true pleasure.
True pleasure.
Long live the Lightning Emperor!
What a foolish man.
According to Bernard, Haimura intends to destroy Khabarovsk next.
What shall we do?
We needn't do anything.
What?
Instead, the people here should, say, reinforce defenses around Krasnoyarsk.
You're going to abandon everything east of Siberia?
They wouldn't be able to surround Haimura if I asked them to do it now.
I see, that is impressive, Lightning Emperor!
An astute decision!
I don't care who, I hope someone will at least take an arm with them.
Uh, are we seriously going to be here in this cramped room, just the two of us?
Oh dear, does Moroha-chan have trouble sleeping without his favorite pillow?
Shall I hold you, then?
Oh, really?
Why thank you, then.
Hey, kid! I wasn't serious, you pervert!
Don't you dare cross this line!
I'll kill you if you do.
How do we get changed?
We'll both face the other way and plug our ears!
I'll kill you if you look or try to listen.
Understood, I'll be careful.
Yeah, it's fine.
Did you not hear me?
I said I'm going to become Moroha's younger sister.
I-I'm Moroha's younger sister, past, present and future lives, forever! Only me!
Moroha told me he would be my family.
Then you can at least be his older sister!
No, I want to be his younger sister.
How can you two keep fighting over something so silly?
It's not silly!
It's a serious matter of identity!
Is it really about identity?
Urushibara Shizuno.
I want you to help me.
I want you to explain to this blockhead for me.
Why would I bother?
See!
Urushibara is on my side!
I'm depressed. Time to die.
You both ought to stop this silly fight.
I think Moroha would be disappointed
if he saw you both in a foul mood when he gets back.
Moroha is at war all by himself right now.
So...
Sorry.
You look like you're getting along well.
For Nii-sama's sake, yeah.
I wonder how Nii-sama's doing right about now, though.
Yes.
His body pillow is lonely sleeping alone these days.
Please survive.
Please show me your smile once more.
Of course he will.
My Nii-sama would never lose.
Never.
Yeah.

Have you noticed?
There're eight of them.
Isn't it seven?
No, eight.
Don't blame me.
This is all your doing.
I know.
Is there anywhere we can really fight,
without restraint and without causing anyone trouble?
Are you calling someone again?
What do you mean, "again"?
I'm not calling anyone.
It's a little far, but there's a large grove.
I'll go check it out.
Alone? really?
Take care of my luggage, please.
Hey, I'm not your bellboy!
They're following me.
Why don't you show your faces already?
I'm the Krasnoyarsk district leader, Kirsan Romanovich Pavlyuchenko.
Haimura Moroha.
You must have realized that the leaders of each district—
all Rank A—have surrounded you.
What of it?
I won't ask you to surrender.
Just go back to Japan in peace!
If we fight, the majority of us will end up dead with you.
We can't go against the Lightning Emperor's commands,
but we don't want to fight you if we can avoid it!
That's enough, Kirsan.
The Lightning Emperor's order is to slay that monster.
No exceptions.
For the Lightning Emperor!
Come, Saratiga!
Freezing Shade!
I need to find somewhere open.
Shadow clones!
Die, Haimura!
For Bernard-sama!
No, twins!
Then...
How about this!
You!
Die, die, die!
You'll pay for killing Bernard-sama!
Said who?
The Lightning Lord!
That's a false charge!
They'll hit their friendlies!
Now die!
Idiots, you're going to be the ones who'll die!
Hot!
I hope those twins are safe.
Poison gas.
Breeze Blade!
One down.
So they lured me in.
I won't fall for that twice!
Decree's Weight!
Is this your first time in aerial combat?
Die!
Shapeless blade, slaying the invisible, come,
Freeze Blade!
Spirit of ice and snow...
That's four.
Now...
there's one more over there.
I noticed you.
You went easy on me with your Freezing Shade, didn't you?
Why?
Y-You saved the twins, too.
Why?
No one wants to die.
Yeah, you're right.
Haimura!
Tell them I defeated you.
By a flick to the forehead?
You won't get away!
Bernard-sama's enemy!
I told you, I didn't kill him.
Seven down.
And...
Damn, so there really were eight.
Angela-san?!
What are you doing?
I'm not your bellboy.
That one's mine.
Die, die, die, die.
All life must perish. Deliverance of the soul is simple.
Remove your heavy clothes and share with all the comfort of journeying heaven and earth.
The Lightning Emperor.
Her?
Oh, death, so sweet!
She finished chanting.
Haimura!
Far away, in the great lands of Russia.
I pray again, tonight.
Haimura!
May the wind blowing westward take our wishes with it.
That Moroha-san will be protected from all disasters.
That is all.

I have a feeling Nii-sama is getting close to another woman.
We'll have to punish him when he gets back.
Next time, episode 10: "Battle at Yekaterinburg."
I remember.
