Hello my prince,
I learned something that I didn't know about Ayanokoji before.
There's a certain person he has very strong feelings for in his heart:
His elder brother, Kazuya.
He is strong and brave, but also kind. And he's always smiling.
And he always wins against any odds.
He is what Ayanokoji fights and eternally strives for.
He is just like my prince.
So there is something Ayanokoji and I have in common.
It's such a simple, little thing that people might laugh if they heard about it.
But it's a feeling that connects just the two of us.
It's a tiny little thing, but it makes this day one for me to remember.
Mailbox It's a tiny little thing, but it makes this day one for me to remember.
Could this be the beginning of something?
Could it be what will fill the void in me with warmth and kindness? And...
Chapter Five A Baptismal Kiss
Shattered Angels Kyoshiro and the Eternal Sky
Grown-ups that I pictured as a child
Are nowhere to be found
Hearts at cross purposes, or moving as one
At times swell like the universe, or suffer solitude
Crossing hearts
Like the skies eternally blue
Your smiling face dazzles me
Velvety sighs echo into the dark
Moment to moment our emotions change
Longing for a warmth we can believe in
Behaving as we have been taught
Using shards of tears as armor
I frantically search for you
For there is something I must convey
Though it may hurt us
Let's Make This A Success! Eternal Tomorrow 11 days to go
Eternal Tomorrow
Hello, my prince,
First of all, this calls for a cake: an anniversary cake.
Well, it's been quite a few days so far, and it's my fifth try,
but it's the thought that counts.
Yes, the thought... Here I go!
I'm home, Kyoshiro.
Was there any activity?
No, nothing in particular...
But there are lot of people coming and going at Higashigetsu Fuma.
Here is the detailed data for you.
I see.
May I ask something?
What is it?
You are going to take her to Joutou Academy, aren't you?
Yes, of course.
Are you sure that's what you want?
Setsuna, why do you ask such a thing?
Welcome home.
And how many times have I found myself in this situation so far?
Are you sure you're okay?
I'm sorry?!
That you don't need any help with the cake?
Um... Thank you, but, but you see...
It would be easy for me to ask you for help,
and maybe it'd even be better that way, but...
But?
I think it's more meaningful for me to do this alone.
So, I want to keep trying on my own just a little more...
I see.
Well, you know how sometimes we girls want to do something nice
for that special someone?
You know what I mean? It's the same reason why you do things for Ayanokoji...
But I'm his sword.
Setsuna...
I'm, uh... sorry.
Why are you apologizing? Kyoshiro told me to fight with him.
That's why I fight. I'll fight and fight and fight.
Um... Setsuna?
What?
After your fight... then what are you going to do?
Kyoshiro is calling.
Um, I, uh...
Hello, my prince,
Since she's so amazing and beautiful,
I tend to forget that she's also an Absolute Angel...
No matter how strong and pretty she is, or how well she can cook,
or how devoted she is...
Or how many times she kisses him...
I swear I will destroy the Absolute Angels!
If I were her... I'd never be able to bear it.
But, I wonder if Ayanokoji really will do such a terrible thing.
I mean, Setsuna's not doing anything wrong,
and she is fighting FOR him...
No way, he'd never do anything like that.
I'm sure of it!
And I'll just do my best with all that I do!
Ayanokoji?
Yes?
Um, um... I, uh...
Well, all of the kitchen utensils got broken...
or I guess you could say I broke them.
And we're out of flour and stuff, so I was thinking about going to buy some...
Oh, I see. Setsuna.
Oh, no!
Um. If it's okay with you, I wanted to go myself.
I mean, it's all stuff that I need.
I guess it's a bad idea? At a time like this...
Well, why don't we go together?
Yeah! All right! Great! My prince...
Total Mana 140%. Everything looks good.
Kaon...
Mana indicator is rising. It's gone over 210%!
The system is working perfectly! The experiment is a success!
Murakumo will have no foes anymore, now that her restriction
of being able to gain mana only from a certain individual has been removed.
Finally Lady Mika's time has come.
Higashigetsu Fuma will now displace the Federation Student Council
as the rulers of Academia... and the whole world even!
Ah, I am so happy for you, Lady Mika.
Kaon, who are you?
I am your faultless Sword, Kaon of the Lunar Spiral.
What is your mission?
To dedicate myself, every strand of hair, every drop of blood, to you, Lady Mika.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Show me the proof.
Yes.
Oh, Lady Mika's kiss is so incredible! How brilliantly her Mana is shining!
A lot different from a certain someone else I know!
She didn't have a good enough kisser until now.
Go now. Bring back the sacrifice.
As you command...
Kaon... Um...
Here.
Kaon!
Kaon, be careful... Don't get hurt...
Um... Good luck!
See you.
74th Campus The Business High School's Open-Air Market
Here it is! This one!
Hello, my prince, I am so happy. This is so exciting!
It's brilliant!
I can't believe how much fun it is just choosing what to buy!
If the last time was like a honeymoon, this time it's like being newlyweds!
Yeah, right...
Thank you very much!
Looks like I got a little carried away.
Give them to me.
Oh, no, that's okay. It's my stuff, after all... Give them to me.
Oh, no, that's okay. It's my stuff, after all...
Then, let's share the load.
Thank you very much!
I'm feeling even more like a newlywed...
What is it?
Um... Can I check something out?
Sure.
Okay!
I wonder which one's the best...
I wonder which one Ayanokoji would like...
A soft, warm color? Or elegant black? Gorgeous gold, or... I don't know...
Hello, my prince, what shall I do?
What would you do... What would you do, my prince?
White!
How about this one?
That's nice! That's nice! I was thinking about that one too...
Ah, that's good.
The same one... He picked the same color I did!
Ayanokoji, do you like white?
It's Kazuya's color.
Kazuya's...
It accepts all, it can become any color... it's my brother's color...
That's right. That's right, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, my prince is the same.
I know! I'll bake a white cake! Pure white like falling snow.
All white, Ayanokoji's favorite color!
Um...
Hm?
Huh?!
Murakumo...
She's not the same... This is not the same Murakumo we've dealt with before!
Fist Up! Right Hand Sword, Claiomh Solais!
Draw Sword! Left Hand Sword, Murakumo!
Setsuna!
Are you all right?
Ayanokoji...
Can you move?
Yes.
Kyoshiro... Kyoshiro...
Setsuna! Are you all right, Setsuna?!
Mana...
I don't have enough Mana...
Please!
No... Don't think about that!
Setsuna is an Absolute Angel.
Kyoshiro... Hurry, Kyoshiro!
Kyoshiro...
Kuu...
Hello, my prince. I was kidnapped again.
But I'll be all right. They didn't do anything terrible to me the last time.
I'm sure this time will be fine, too.
Kaon, welcome home...
Um... Kaon?
I wonder what's going on. I sense that she's a lot different from before.
I, Kaon, Murakumo, have returned.
Bow down, insolent thing!
It's all right. You must be tired.
This is your reward. Look at me.
Ah, again! Girls are kissing!
I know it's not a kiss, but, but, it's very beautiful and gorgeous...
It's like... like she's being rewarded by a goddess.
How do you do, Kuu Shiratori. I am Mika Ayanokoji.
Is this enough?
Yeah... How about you, Kyoshiro? Are you all right?
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Kyoshiro. She was taken away again. I'm sorry.
We can talk about that later. We must get Kuu Shiratori back now.
Yes...
But Murakumo's power was extraordinary...
It was significantly more powerful than before.
Don't worry about me. If it's your wish, I'll do this.
Kyoshiro?
I will call for the support troops...
The support troops?
I'm gonna crush them.
That woman and the one with glasses and that other strange woman!
I'll pay them back double and twice that, and twice THAT!
All together that's, that's...
Eight-fold, right?
I knew that! I just finished counting. Why did you jump ahead of me?!
All right, all right... So sorry!
But last time you got upset because I DIDN'T give you the answer.
Quiet!
Huh? Huh?
We will throw Batraz at Murakumo.
Setsuna, lead Batraz out to Higashigetsu Fuma.
I wonder if it will go so easily...
We will make it work.
Head on, we might have trouble, but it's all in the tactics.
That's how Kazuya won... every time.
Is that what you want, Kyoshiro?
Yeah.
Okay.
Ayanokoji... You're not related to Kyoshiro, are you?
Yes, I am his older sister. Have you not heard anything from him?
Yes, I heard that he had an older brother, Kazuya.
Kazuya? Is he still talking about that guy?
What a good-for-nothing brother!
"That guy"?
He is an outstanding man.
He risked his own life to save Kyoshiro, and the world.
Outstanding?
Yes, he is outstanding!
Strong and brave, but also kind. And always smiling.
Always winning against any odds...
And very cruel.
What?!
Yes, just like a devil.
Join me at Higashigetsu Fuma Academy.
Devil?
Yes, he is a devil.
No... What are you talking about?
You're the one who uses an Absolute Angel for evil! Why?
Evil... Why do you say that?
Why? It's obvious!
They destroy things, and suck the life out of people.
That's bad... It's obvious.
She is a sword. A sword is used to slay one's enemies.
Is there any other purpose?
She was born to be a sword. Are you going to tell her to do nothing,
just be an ornament in some decorative display?
I'd say that in itself is rather cruel.
But, but... But, it's just not right!
Absolute Angels are not humans. They're different from us, but...
but still, to force them to fight, to force them to do bad things...
They don't deserve that!
Not like "us"? You said "us", didn't you?
What? Well, yes...
Don't you know anything?
I see, I understand!
Kyoshiro is most ruthless!
Did you hear that, Murakumo? Isn't it funny? Don't you think?
Yes.
Funny? What do you mean by funny?
Yes, well... Himiko, why don't you tell her?
Please, Lady Mika, please...
What are you doing? Do it!
Lady Mika...
Go on.
Kaon...
Do you understand now?
Yes, you are the same... You, too.
The same?
You are an Absolute Angel, too, Kuu Shiratori!
The empty birdcage speaks of yesterday's leave-taking
I said good-bye in the glow of sunrise
Each day we awaken as different people
Two who are new, yet somehow familiar
"I want to love you" means nothing more than that
All I need is to touch you
I live protected by love that is promised, but
Why is it that ultramarine implies transience?
I want to see you
Will this sky give me eternity; this sea, life?
Flower petals quiver like wings coming to rest
In my paradise as I drowse
