A compound metal surpassing all expectations
born by gathering the essence of alchemy. Kakugane
activating upon a person‘췷 fighting instincts
it changes the user‘췷 hidden strength into a tangible state
and a unique weapon is created
That is Busou Renkin
Kazuki!
Fight…¦
Fight
Kazuki..
Fight
Damnit
What‘췷 happening up there?
Fight
Fight!
Fight!!
I‘췯l fight!!!
Kazuki!
The Middle Existence
Reddish-brown skin
Hair the color of fireflies
It’칢 as if…¦
he‘췷 the same as Victor
This, like breathing
is not a skill, but an instinct
You can‘췺 stop it with your own will
Energy drain...
Kazu…쫕i…¦
Victor!
Busou..
Come!
With both of us like this
it seems it will be difficult to decide the outcome of this battle
I see you aren‘췺 able to fly yet
The day is clear
To leave the power of alchemy this way
should be avoided at all costs
Both meal and fight
will end here for now
A century, eh…¦
I should take a look at the world a bit
Are you running away?
There is no need to hurry
You and I are the same
we have attained the thing closest to eternal life upon this earth‘췷 surface
One day I will destroy you for sure
Not just you
but Renkin Warriors, as well as Homunculi
I will destroy anything made by alchemy
Anything of alchemy is my enemy
Victor!
From now, you
will experience the same pain as I did a century ago
You will have to prepare yourself
Don‘췺 go after him, Kazuki
Fight! Victor!
Kazuki!
I‘췱 begging you, Kazuki
I‘췯l do anything
For having made you into this…¦
I‘췯l pay for my sins somehow
So…
I‘췱 begging you!
Even if your exterior has changed
Don‘췺 let your heart..
change as well
Please..
Tokiko-san ..
Papillon!
Chouno!
I saw everything, Mutou!
I never even dreamed
That you would quit being a human!
I‘췱 not happy at all! Mutou Kazuki!
When I gave up being a human and became a super human
you bothered me so much
What am I supposed to do now that you, the one who killed me, quit being a human!?
There‘췷 limits to hypocrisy…¦
that‘췷 you pushed yourself too hard with that body
Are you okay?
Shut up!
Chouno
What?
I won‘췺 give up being a human
My body‘췷 come back to normal
Isn‘췺 that just a resting state!?
Once your fighting instincts are on fire again
the black kakugane on the left side of your chest will activate
and you’칕l transform again, won’칣 you?
Even if you make acceptable excuses
you are, a human and a ‘췾ictor‘
an existence in the middle of the two
Will you really be able to become a human again?
Commander!
Tokiko-san
I’칖 alright
Before that
about the black kakugane
and about Kazuki’칢 transformation
If it‘췷 the Commander, maybe...
I see
even if the underlings don‘췺 know
the higher ups might know something
I‘췯l kill you
Try it if you‘췥 like
Alright, let‘췷 go!
Before that..
Everybody‘췷 asleep
That‘췷 to be expected
Their fatigue would probably be at its summit
But it‘췷 a relief
everybody looks alright
I looked around
It seems there aren‘췺 any life-threatening casualties
What a relief
What do you mean, ‘췿hat a relief‘®
a part of the damage done to them
was by you in your ‘췾ictor’ state
Don‘췺 try and mouth it off like it didn‘췺 happen
The place was L.X.E‘췷 stronghold, yes?
I‘췯l go ahead
Papillon!
What are you doing? You!
You can do it, Homunculus!
Tokiko-san too, hurry!
Don‘췺 joke around?!
You‘췶e heavy!
My legs will fall off!
Don‘췺 worry!
I‘췱 a master at hanging on!
Tokiko-san
If you need it, use this
she‘췷 my treasure
Its parked behind the dormitory back garden
violating school regulations, eh
If you get caught, its suspension
so be careful
thanks I‘췯l use it well
It‘췷 a magnificent design that fits well with that weak body
but isn‘췺 it sad?
a Busou Renkin specializing in defense
언 발에傘 오줌잔 누기⒱지ö
Your subordinate resisted for two days straight
Now, I wonder how you‘췯l do
How fun you‘췯l make this
Isn‘췺 it a bit hot?
Th- this is!
so you could use it this way as well
well, I knew you would go longer than you’칞e your subordinate...
Annhilate! Bravo Punch!
Oi~
Tokiko-san!
I told you, don‘췺 move around!
You‘췶e pretty slow
oi, she‘췷 saying you‘췶e slow
If it weren‘췺 for you, I would already have arrived!
Kazuki
If it‘췷 there, you can see the stronghold, right?
yeah, I can see it well
It‘췷 just ahead
Wow, I‘췱 surprised I lost
Bravo!
I’칖 sorry
It took a bit long
Black kakugane?
Victor..
I haven’칣 heard of either of them
I see
Whether it‘췷 below, or above, I guess it‘췷 the same…¦
It seems this was in vain
After all, anything one wants
must be attained by one’칢 own hands
Investigating it oneself would be the best
Is that to turn Kazuki back into a human?
Or to turn into transform into ‘췝ictor’ yourself?
Either one…¦
To defeat the human Mutou Kazuki, when I have become supremely strong
this is the result that I wish for
So, Mutou
Don‘췺 get any further from being a human
Alright
I don‘췺 want to say something like this to you
but get better from your wounds
If you think that way, then don‘췺 get hung up about it
Wait! You think I‘췯l let you run away…¦
That‘췷 enough, Warrior Tokiko
But...
He said that he would investigate himself, so leaving him to do so might be good
On top of that, right now, you no longer have any strength left to battle
You don‘췺 have to push yourself
Go and rest for today
Yes
And on top of that, there‘췷 that guy
I tried to use him to investigate L.X.E
but if he was involved in Victor‘췷 resurrection
he might know something
Will you tell us everything?
Since I‘췾e lost, I suppose there‘췷 nothing else I can do
we changed tonight‘췷 program
first, we will convey this case‘췷 newsflash
At Ginsei highschool 긴세鴉이학坰원 고등狀학교均에서∼ 발생緖한Ń
a mass fainting spell
26 slightly wounded, 42 hospitalized
and the number of students with complaints of headache or vomiting
have been increasing since then to almost 100..
I have to go back to headquarters first
I’칖 planning about asking the higher ups about
The truth about the case a century ago
Don’칣 worry
I‘췱 sure there‘췯l be some clue
Yeah
It seems that ..
you‘췶e worried about everybody else more than you‘췶e worried for yourself
After all..
The number of people will suffer a trauma from today‘췷 events
will not be small
No warrior
unfortunately, is able to protect a person‘췷 heart
However!
You‘췾e protected everybody‘췷 lives
Annihilated L.X.E
and protected this town
You’칥e done well
warrior Kazuki, warrior Tokiko!
Bravo!
Mission completed
Rest fully until I come back!
I‘췱 going! one, two, three!
first time I‘췥 3rd place!
What a relief… 2nd place
1st place with plenty to spare
Last place..
Ororo… I‘췾e finally lost to Okakura
because of fighting and special training
I missed out on classes, so there‘췷 not much I could do
there wasn‘췺 much I could do…¦
but it‘췷 so painful!
Is that really the person who was fighting last time?
As expected from Mahiro‘췷 older brother!
Well, we‘췯l take time slowly to think about Kazuki‘췷 punishment game
and get to the main topic?
Sea?!
Wait!
What is this about!?
Huh?
I told you, on the morning of the battle
we‘췶e all going sea-bathing
I did hear it, but that was for real!?
We‘췶e taking off tomorrow, for a 2 day and one night trip
I don‘췺 have anything like a swimsuit
what about the school swimsuit?
You’칍 have to be a pervert to go wear something like that to the sea at this age!
Daihama would be happy
Ka, Kazuki-kun!
It‘췷 over
everything..
Ginsei Highschool has started its summer break today
The mass fainting spell remains a mystery
but people are slowly regaining their stability
There‘췷 no way they would know
because we all won‘췺 say a word about it
Rather than that, but because even we don‘췺 know what happened that well..
but other cases like this are
happening all around the world
(I should take a look at the world a bit)
(Victor...)
Do those have something to do with you two as well?
No
then it‘췷 fine then...
I‘췾e been thinking about this
but you guys aren‘췺 asking any questions
we‘췥 be happy to listen if you‘췥 tell us
but there isn‘췺 anything we can do even if we do listen
and everybody‘췷 safe
so we‘췶e fine with that
I think that you have really good friends
what are you talking about?
they’칞e also Tokiko-san’칢 friends now
Then I‘췥 be happy
but I can‘췺 get them involved again
I think I’칖 going to keep a bit of a distance
The only friends I have are my fighting comrades
Right now that‘췷 just you and Commander
Any word from Bravo?
none after that day...
So you are worried?
about the black kakugane
and about the ‘췾ictor‘ transformation...
here you go!
my fighting comrades are also
Tokiko-san and Bravo
I want to do the next mission with the three of us
well, since it‘췷 summer break
Let‘췷 rest all we can until Bravo gets back
Yeah, we should
It‘췷 beautiful
And less people than I‘췥 thought there‘췥 be
we chose it carefully
the sea‘췷 nice~!
your face is stretched out
I can stretch it out even more!
Did you wait a long time?
What‘췷 wrong?
is something wrong?
ah, not that
Should I say, it‘췷 weird
I can see your whole belly
Don‘췺 point!
It was locally supplied, there was only stuff like this
You‘췾e seen it before anyways!
You saw it before?!
Really?
That‘췷 why, don‘췺 look at it!
it‘췷 young love!
is it that, or should we say they‘췶e like middle-schoolers instead
guys, look at that!
There‘췷 a surfer!
Is that…¦
Captain Bravo??
Yes, I am!
heya everybody
How‘췾e you all been?
How did you…¦
What about your work?
You knew how to surf?
now tell us your real name
it‘췷 all a secret
because that‘췷 cooler
I‘췱 sorry I couldn‘췺 join you guys when you were coming
I brought my car, so when you go back, leave it to me!
Yay!
The transportation fee reduced to half!
Welcome back, Bravo
yeah
I‘췱 back
Commander.. Commander
How did it go?
yeah, I got it
well… you don‘췺 have to hurry
we‘췶e at the sea
Let him play during the day
Really!
You wouldn‘췺 want to get everybody involved, would you?
We‘췯l talk over tonight, later
Dispose of Mutou Kazuki
This is the new mission
given to the Alchemy Convoy
But I won‘췺 leave them to do that
I‘췯l never let anybody do that!
