A compound metal surpassing all expectations, born by gathering the essence of alchemy
Kakugane
activating upon a person‘s fighting instincts
it changes the user‘s hidden strength into a tangible state
and a unique weapon is created
That is Busou Renkin
Let‘s reform
Understood!
I won‘t let you get away!
Shooting Flasher!
Your skills are good, as is your adaptation to circumstances
Pretty good…
However
The boy is still inexperienced
And the girl…
In comparison to her movements shown up in the sky before
today she is a bit dull
I can win no, I will win!
For the master that has granted me this strength!
For the Person You Want to Protect
Valkyrie Skirt Wait Mode
How convenient as expected from Valkyrie skirt
I don‘t get you mean by ‘as expected’ but
if you build up your experience, you‘ll be able to do many techniques as well
Anyways, first wipe the blood off
The battle isn‘t over yet
Thank you are you alright, Tokiko-san?
I‘m not sure…\My right shoulder is a little…
Tokiko-san?
No, I‘m fine it‘s nothing
You shouldn’t push yourself
You‘re talking a lot more now who do you think I am?
A Renkin Warrior that’s stronger than I am
But I‘ll say this ew have to do this properly
I see
Alright, I‘ll be careful
But we‘re currently in a battle
That eagle type…
Is obviously on a different level than the other homunculi
A defense using those wings isn‘t a technique that a body can naturally master
I‘ve found you!
He‘s here!
Just one! have they divided into two teams?
(Listen carefully, Kazuki)
(The wing-manipulating defense of the eagle, is exquisite, to be sure)
(But it‘s not flawless)
(When we attacked together, he didn‘t use his wings, but his claws)
(Even his defense of wings cannot keep up with a succession of attacks)
(There is just one aim: rapid, consecutive attacks!)
(One becomes the bait and lures forth his winged defense)
(Immediately, the remaining person)
(Delivers the blow!)
(Alright! I‘ll take the role of the bait)
(If it‘s my lance, I can deliver a mixed attack of a slasher and flasher)
(and just barely hide Tokiko-san‘s figure!)
Let‘s go!!
Is Kazuki here?
No, not here…
He wasn’t at the school either
It seems that he was with Tokiko-san before he met with us
What? then again?!
Well, after that person appeared, Kazuki‘s been disappearing often
But it‘s a relief for now
Damnit! Tonight I‘ll get you back for sure!
(Onii-chan…\I don’t have to worry about you, right?)
(One becomes the bait and makes him use the winged defense)
(and when his form has collapsed, the remaining person attacks!)
(Stay hidden in the light and follow me! Tokiko-san!)
Valkyrie Skirt
(a beautiful, golden light…)
(As if it‘s the sun‘s light )
It‘s different
The wind is different from the assault before
(This guy! Not just with his eyes, but with his wings, he reads the wind…)
It‘s just a little, but there‘s a different wind mixed in
I‘ve read it behind the light, the girl…
With these claws, I‘ll get rid of you one at a time!
It‘s a failure! Tokiko-san, run away!
Don‘t stop, Kazuki!
To have exposed my head to her twice!
But I will not lose!
I‘ll rip your guts out!
Tokiko-san!
Ka…zuki
Now‘s the chance, pierce him!
Shooting Slasher!
Tokiko-san!
Why did you…
Our tactics were read so I changed them
But…
And… this is probably…
the last time I‘ll be able to fight properly…
It‘s finally reached my upper spinal chord
My body movement is slowly getting slower
I thought that I shouldn‘t give up, so I attacked…
you’re a dangerous girl 위험㎬한 여자⒩군ş
even after you’ve become a homunculus
that mindset will no doubt bring disaster upon my master
So I’ll kill you right now!
It seems that one more blow… will be needed
Leave the rest to me, and you get some rest, Tokiko-san
From now on…
I‘m going to fight alone
I‘ll beat this guy, capture Papillon, crush the 21st essence
and attain the antidote
There is no point in bluffing
I know that the one that plays the bait is usually the one who is weaker
I‘ll take care of you and your lack of experience later
The girl is first
Stand back, Kazuki!
The you right now can‘t match against this guy yet
Stand aside
I won‘t stand aside!
Stand back!
I can‘t stand aside!
Even if it‘s Tokiko-san‘s command!
I‘ll never stand aside!
An opening!
Shooting Slasher!
No! I‘ve missed again!
No matter how many times you attack, it is useless
I read the wind with this wing
More accurately than seeing with one‘s eyes
More accurately than hearing with one’s ears the wind tells me everything
No matter what state, this winged defense will never crumple!
(But the wind has changed a bit)
(It‘s as inexperienced, far from a strong wind or a windstorm)
(but…)
(I can feel his powerful breath)
(The reason is…)
(This homunculus…)
(Even with only one wing and arm, his defense is strong)
(It‘s dangerous for Kazuki alone…)
Don‘t help me, Tokikko-san!
I‘m going!
That girl
Is that girl that important?
Is it the difference in abilities that creates the bind between you two?
Or are you a couple?
I owe Tokiko-san my life!
She gave me a new life, when I had once died
Right now, her life is on the line you think I‘ll lose!?
So you are the same as me
My owner is the savior of my life
Before I attained this body, I was a wild eagle
The ultimate bird of prey as well as the king of the sky
Even within there, I was the strongest
However…
Whether it was by an accidental shot or by poaching, after being shot by a gun, I fell
How boring
Well, lives are only amount to this
Even if you were a trophy of nature, if you die, it ends there…
But to think that on my way to capture butterflies, that I would attain such a rare animal
Both you and I were lucky
Be lucky I‘ll bring you back to life
And then I was brought back to life
My master is the savior of my life
To me, who had died once, he gave me new life and power
and now his life is on the line!
If you get in the way, I cannot forgive you!
(Truly…)
(His combat awareness and skills were things he were able to master because he was wild…)
I see you and I are the same
However…
Our saviors are completely different!
Chouno sees you only as experimental material
He looks down on other people‘s lives
and he plans only of escaping the fear of death for himself to be able to live!
Why Chouno does is wrong! because of those things…
Shut up!
Kazuki!
It is in the nature of everything living thing to fear death
For me, who has lived in the wild, that is completely understandable
My master‘s doings are not wrong
You probably wouldn‘t want to die this way either
If you won’t ever concern yourself with my master again
I‘ll let you go
fearing death
and running from death is not disgraceful, nor evil
but if I run…
there‘s someone who will die instead!
I can‘t stand aside I can‘t lose!
I can‘t let Tokiko-san die!
(He‘s wound the cloth around the lance‘s tip)
(In that state, he can use the cloth‘s energy not only for assault)
(but for destructive power as well)
(even so…)
As you said, dying is scary
I know because I‘ve died once and Couno will know because he‘s facing death
But both Chouno and I are human!
so there are things that we mustn’t do even if we die, and things that we must do even if we face death!
(At that rate, he‘ll bring damage upon himself as well…)
don’t, Kazuki!
Enery expansion!
Shooting Slasher!
The breath… has become a true wind
I know that this is being selfish… But I have one request
My master…
I won’t kill him
I had no intention to from the beginning
All I‘ll do… is stop him
Hearing that… I can die without any worries
To die relieved…
that there would be a death like that… was something I didn‘t know
(Though he said that it was in the nature of all living things to fear death)
(he sacrificed his life and fought for Papillon)
(He was a unique homunculus to the very ened)
(It was good experience for Kazuki)
(That he has can manage his Busou Renkin like this within just a week)
(is a very rare thing)
(Someday my eyes will close)
(Just one day left)
(Tomorrow night 12:00 is the time limit)
Are you alright? Tokiko-san before the sun goes down, we should go down the mountain…
It‘s impossible with that body We‘ll stay here for the night
It seems that we‘re quite far away
We‘ll spend the night settle down and recover with the healing power of the Kakugane
and even if we go down the mountain at night, and get on the electric train
It‘ll be about evening to arrive in Ginsei
then after we arrive, we‘ll immediately set out to find Chouno…
I‘ve got a general idea about where he would be hiding
After he’s lost all his homunculi the guy‘s just a powerless highschool student
The last thing he can cling to is his family‘s home
Alright!
Time limit is tomorrow night 12:00! We have plenty of time!
That’s right
So I‘ll leave everything else to you and stay here
-What are you talking about? -Hey, don‘t shake me!
-We won‘t be too late! -both of our bodies are in bad condition…!
It won’t be too late if only you’re alone
Because of that guy, my lower body is numb, and if won‘t move
So I can‘t go down the mountain
But then even if I do get the antidote, there won‘t be enough time to go back…
It‘s fine you don‘t have to come back
If I don‘t see you in the morning
I‘ll finish myself
-What are you talking about -I told you not to shake me!
-You can‘t die! -Both of our bodies are in danger!
That‘s right!
You said that it was a mission this morning, right? Doesn‘t that mean you have comrades?
There‘s no use
All the warriors in Japan are currently on their own missions
It‘s too bad, that even if we call for help, they won‘t be able to come by 12:00 tomorrow
Between that time, headquarters might attempt something
it‘ll only be after everything is done
Not too long afterwards
Kazuki, there will be another warrior before you
After you report everything to that person
bury everything that happened this past week within deep within you
Living happily with your younger sister and friends is better suited for you
so this time around, return to your ordinary life
I understand I’ll go back
I‘m happy with that
With you
Just because I can‘t move doesn‘t mean you can just act however you want with them!
If we descend the mountain now, with no need to wait until dawn
even if it‘s two people, before nightfall, somehow…
If you push yourself so much, your stamina won‘t last! You‘ll collapse!
It‘s alright! Tokiko-san is light
You idiot! That‘s not the problem!
Let me down now!
I don‘t want to!
I said before that I wouldn‘t let there be any more sacrifices
Tokiko-san is included!
We won‘t be late! I won‘t let us be late!
(His back is much… wider than it looks)
yesterday, Saitamaken, Gensei
6th day yesterday, Saitamaken, Gensei
6th day at the Gensei School‘s dormitories 긴세이 학원 기숙사에서 일어난
there was a sudden gust of wind by an unknown cause which resulted in damage…
Kazuki-kun… still isn‘t back
He‘s disappeared often these days, but to be gone for a whole day…
That’s right
Yesterday‘s role call was passed by mimicking his voice…
Yep! Kazuki here!
-You did that?! -Just who are you!?
Anyways, after that Tokiko-san appeared, Kazuki‘s strange actions have attained turbo power
It can‘t be that he‘s become involved in dangerous business?
If that‘s the case…
(Onii-chan…)
-Onii-chan! -Kazuki!
I‘m back…
All banged up because of love-love?!
Just what happened?
Don‘t tell me that you were blown away by the sudden gust of wind yesterday?
That‘s exactly it
So Tokiko-san couldn‘t move due to chronic back-pain
so I carried her on my back all the way back
All the way?!
Yeap, all the way
That‘s enough… that‘s enough, so just let me die…
Don’t say weak things!
It‘s too early to give up
Of course, Tokiko-san back-pains heal very well
(She’s wrong… she‘s Kazuki‘s younger sister after all)
Then I‘ll be coming back later
Wait where are you going again?
I have something to do
but you‘re a mess…
Just rest a bit today, and tomorrow…
No! It can‘t not be tonight!
So, Mahiro!
While I‘m gone, take care of Tokiko-san!
I‘ll leave it to you! I‘ll come back soon!
Alright, just leave it to me
Nothing to hide! I‘m a master at nursing!
(It‘s Kazuki… There‘s a female Kazuki here)
Wait, Kazuki!
Are you, hiding anything from us? have you become involved into some dangerous business?
Sorry
Okakura, just as you said, I‘m involved in a big mess
But it‘ll all be solved after tonight!
So there are no problems!
Even if you can‘t tell us your situation, if you needed it, I was going to lend you my strength
but if it‘s no worries, the it‘s no problems?
Then just solve it and come back!
Kazuki
What? Tokiko-san
You cell-phone can‘t be used now after all the fighting
So take this
First give a detailed report of situation
And this…
I can‘t say that it‘s two times the strength but, two is better has stronger healing powers than one
In case, if you use one as a Busou Renkin
and the other as healing power
the stress on your body will decrease
Kazuki
You are more suited to being with your younger sister and friends than fighting, after all
So, don‘t do it for me…
but for yourself, at least, come back, no matter what!
Understood! No matter what!
Alright! I‘ll come back!
(Wait for me, Tokiko-san)
(Wait for me, everybody!)
Kazuki! No matter what you say, it‘s useless!
There are no words to reach that guy anymore
Just take the Homunculus essence away from Chouno!
