Flaga!
Stop.
Stop taking from me!
Stop!
That was...
Calm down, act natural!
Calm down and assess the situation!
Why isn't she dressed?
Ed-sama, I'm cold.
Angela-san, stop!
This is bad!
This is really bad!
You're awake.
Yes. Thanks to you.
Thank goodness.
Um, well, your boobs are touching me.
D-Don't get the wrong idea!
It's not like we're cuddling after we just did it or anything!
I know, I know.
I-I had to do it for the treatment!
Damn.
Haimura!
Idiot.
Idiot!
You may be going to war by yourself,
but why would you help me?
This is all I can do for you.
Wake up. Please, wake up.
Well, y'know, uh, yeah!
I'm glad you're okay.
Angela-san.
Eh?
Thank you.
Stop watching me change!
Sorry.
You perverted brat! I'll kill you!
How's it going?
M-My bad, I didn't know you were having sex.
Take your time.
That's not true!
I'm Katya Eskevna Honda.
I'm half Japanese and half Russian.
Yekaterinburg district leader, 18 years old.
I already heard that.
So, how did you learn about this place?
I had one of my direct subordinates
follow you since you arrived at the station.
Th-Then why didn't you come in?
Don't kid.
You guys looked murderous.
Besides, I don't really want to fight against Haimura-han.
Haimura-han's been making sure
he doesn't kill anyone he fought, not just me.
When I saw that, I decided this person would surely grant me my wish.
Your wish?
Help my best friend Yuli get away from the Lightning Emperor.
Did you know?
Most Saviors in Russia don't have family.
That way, no one will complain if they get treated poorly.
The Lightning Emperor gathers those kids to make them fight each other.
And she makes the survivors her bodyguards.
So, this friend Yuli of yours is still with the Lightning Emperor.
Then she's there where you're going, correct?
The Lightning Emperor.
Sverdlovsk capital Yekaterinburg.
I see.
Yeah, I'll call you later.
Where are you going?
Washroom. What about you?
Nothing.
Anyway...
Want to go together?
Fool!
Anyway, did you predict that this would happen?
Predict what?
You said I'd eventually find out why you're not killing anyone in this war.
Of course not.
Things would be a lot easier if I could be so calculating.
But...
I just had faith that there are proper-minded people in the Russia branch.
You're an amazing man.
Second to Edward-sama.
Yekaterinburg Station
Finally.
There.
Another head flick?
I don't think she'll wake up for a while now.
Are you sure we don't need to bring her?
She seems like she'd make a good soldier.
No.
Katya-san is needed in Russia's tomorrow.
I'm amazed you can care about another nation so much.
If you want to fight with a clear conscience, you have to have motivation.
Isn't that true?
Smartass.
Hey, do you really not need my sword, too?
I couldn't see eye-to-eye with Edward-san if anything to happen to you.
I can take care of myself.
Let's stop playing tough.
I don't have the confidence to protect someone
while I'm fighting the Lightning Emperor.
I seriously hate you.
I like you a lot.
Dammit.
Haimura didn't kill any of us.
That very naiveté is his weakness.
It wasn't because I fled that I came back to you—
Enough.
Failure is not forgivable.
You will die. No exemptions.
N-No.
Your Majesty.
Lightning Emperor!
Now, then.
I'm here, Lightning Emperor.
Shall I begin preparing for your greetings?
Write!
Dance, dance, soldier of lightning.
Come, countless thunders.
None of this world live forever. Ephemeral sparkles, embrace pleasure.
Destroy everything in the blink of an eye.
Do not regret being late, it is a once-in-a-thousand-years banquet.
Die, die, die, die.
All life must perish. Deliverance of the soul is simple.
Remove your heavy clothes, the comfort of journeying heaven and earth.
Kill, kill, kill, kill.
Share with all this lightness, this elegance, this freedom, this happiness.
Oh, death, so sweet!
Die, die, die, die. Kill, kill, kill, kill.
It is a once-in-a-thousand-years banquet of killing.
That's...
My level 13 Dark Arts, Cruel Crusaders.
How will you fight against this army of lightning?
Come, Saratiga!
Here I come!
There's just too many of them.
Then...
Perfectly prepared for anti-air intercept?
Let's do it.
What trickery is this?
My Cruel Crusaders defeated a Dreadnought class in minutes.
With respect, Lightning Emperor,
I believe this is not trickery, but military art.
Haimura moves so fast that not even lightning beasts can keep up.
He's focusing on attacking only each of the enemies before him.
Therefore he's fighting not one against a thousand,
but one against one a thousand times.
It's as though he's a military genius general.
It's as though he's comfortable with fighting an entire army by himself.
Very well.
If he's going to fight with military art, then I'll respond with military art.
All right.
They're the captive Saviors that Katya-san was talking about.
Are we really doing this?
We have no choice.
Now, kids, it's time to make yourself useful to our savior, Her Majesty!
Your comrades are here!
Stop. Stop, Lightning Emperor!
It's just as Darco said.
He can't kill people.
This is my military art.
Impressive, Your Majesty.
My body...
Yuli's gravity trap is working.
Yes.
What the hell are you doing?!
Die, Haimura!
Angela Johnson of the UK branch.
By White Knight Sir Edward Lampard's orders,
I hereby defend Haimura Moroha.
My best friend's in trouble, I can't be sleeping.
You two...
Not two.
Nii-sama!
Satsuki, Shizuno.
This is the Lightning Emperor's castle.
It's quite tasteless.
A Transportal, I see.
That's a useful magic.
There're more?!
What do we do?
Yuli.
Who are you?
Why do you know my name?
Yuli.
All these nobodies, and then some.
Children of Russia, listen to me.
I am Elena Arshavina.
You know me as a man eater.
But that man eater no longer exists.
She went to Japan and fought Haimura Moroha,
and became no more.
I was reborn as just Elena.
Moroha told me
to be reborn.
So now I'm going to share that sentiment with you.
I want you all to be reborn
and become people who fight only to protect someone.
Move, I'll do it.
Yuli.
What are you doing? It's me, Katya.
I, I...
Yuli Olegovich Jilkov.
What was I...
I knew it.
Yuli!
Katya.
Yeah, it's me, your best friend Katya.
All right, let's take out the lightning beasts!
Got it!
I'm gonna do this!
Me, too.
What about you guys?
Huh?
Us?
Take the Lightning Emperor down with us.
Be gone, freaks!
No you don't.
As water flows from high to low, take all life.
All must die and return to bone. Begin the ceremony of fire.
Freezing Shade.
Incinerate.
Contact the Russian government.
No...
Tell them that Yekaterinburg is about to disappear.
Haimura, go to the Lightning Emperor.
But...
The only one that can defeat her is—
A song?
A lightning...
...giant.
Perfectly prepared for ground surround attack,
perfectly prepared for anti-air intercept,
and to top it off, she's prepared with a boss character.
Dreadful Blizzard.
Blaze Storm.
Write!
There exists purgatory in the netherworld and fields of fire in the corporeal world.
Fire discriminates not against good and evil as it burns and purifies with ferocious mercy.
All must die and return to bone.
God has forsaken humanity.
The world of the decadent is eternal. Let the trumpets blare and bring the moment of judgment.
Yin Yang Kurikara!
Even with Nii-sama's Yin Yang...
Everyone, get down!
Now!
No way.
The next one's coming!
Urushibara, defense magic!
It'd be useless against it.
Yuli.
Katya.
This is the end.
I remember.
You're the one that used it first.
I won't accept any complaints.
Write!
Everything began with water.
Everything will return to water.
Therefore water is life and death.
The birthing mother and the swallowing snake.
Everything flows. Not even time itself can escape.
It's the thirteenth level.
Like a boat at the mercy of a mighty river, all are swallowed in the end.
He's going to use a forbidden curse?
Oh, heartless nature of transience.
Yet I will love that heartlessness and transience deeply.
I have long forgotten my mother's face.
My body will become a snake with its mouth wide open, and level everything.
Insatiable, endless emptiness.
Endless pleasure, never stagnating.
All things must flow, back into my stomach.
Ouroboros!
No way!
Amazing.
This is Haimura's...
...new forbidden curse.
Dammit, I can't swim!
Hang on, Katya.
Impossible.
Wait!
Where do you think you're going?
Does it matter?
The empire is done for!
I'm more afraid of Haimura than I am of you.
A tyrant's end is pretty pathetic, huh?
I haven't lost yet.
Thunderbolt Dragon!
Are you finished?
I promise to never lay my hands on you again.
In fact, I would serve you.
So please, stop.
You purge your men mercilessly for failure.
Yet you plead for your life?
I don't want to die.
I don't want to lose the empire.
Please don't take away that which is important to me.
Why?
Why do you people not understand something so simple?
If you don't want to be taken from,
stop taking!
I'm defeated.
Nii-sama.
Brother!
He actually pulled it off all the way.
He didn't kill anyone in the war.
Yes, understood.
How did it go?
Everyone's safe.
Haimura-kun's coming home.
Yay!
The days are long in the northern lands.
No doubt the sun is gently shining on Moroha-san and the others.
But at the time, I didn't know
that the midnight sun would never come to Yekaterinburg.
That the sun will eventually set and bring a ominous, cold night.
Preview
I'm not giving back Haimura-han, no matter what!
Katya, put on some clothes.
Next time, episode 11: "The Nightmare From the Previous Life."
We are the saviors!
