Raishin!
N-Nadeshiko?
Please don't go.
I don't have a choice. Father threw me out.
You're such a liar!
You were supposed to come with me to see the flowers at Ryougoku again next year!
You said you'd stay with me until I got married!
I hate you!
I really hate you now.
Glad to hear it.
I hate little sisters who just cling to their brothers all the time, too.
Open your eyes, Raishin!
Raishin!
Cherubim, come.
Yes, yes.
I'll lose my entry qualifications if he dies.
I'm ready.
My burning passion absorbs all my pain

Why didn't you take his gauntlet?
If I'd tried to,
his automaton would have fought me.
You think my Cherubim would lose to a puppet without a master?
That's a Ban Doll.
Its puppeteer would have been the one to die if the battle lasted any longer.
Regardless of the circumstances, anyone who kills their opponent is stripped of their qualifications.
Very well.
However, why did you throw away your original rank of seventh to fight as number ninety-nine?
Frey didn't stand the slightest chance of victory.
For us to have the opportunity to compare Garm and Angel's capabilities,
Second Last had to be eliminated—
That was quite unnecessary.
If you continue to act wilfully, I'll have no choice but to stop your heart from beating.
When you fight Ravi tomorrow, try to smash him to pieces.
Doing that will also help Frey.
Certainly, Father.
Raishin!
That fool!
She's going to give herself away as a Ban Doll!
Sis? Irori?
Sis?
Calm down, Yaya.
But Raishin got hurt trying to protect me, just like he did that time!
He's bleeding again! Because of me, Raishin's—
Calm down.
What good will it do to make a scene?
Raishin has a strong mind.
Believe in him and wait.
He won't die. Not until he defeats Tenzen.
How's Raishin?
Doesn't look like he's come to yet.
Why don't you get some more rest?
Well...
He's such a fool.
A blinding fool.
A fool that pierces the heavens.
How did he not realise he'd be seriously hurt taking a blow like that?
About that...
Don't you think Loki went easy on him there?
Cherubim had already entered his attack motion.
There's no way he could've held back—
Wait, are you saying there's a magic circuit which can control that?
That might be the key to defeating the so-called King of Swords.
Let's tell that fool about this once he recovers!
Are you sure?
If Raishin continues to advance, he will grow ever stronger.
There's no way to tell how much more powerful he'll be by the time he gets to you.
I'm Charlotte of the noble Count Belew family, you know?
It matters not how much that fool grows in strength. I'll take him head-on and beat him into the ground.
Don't you dare die on me, Raishin.
Just look at how worried I am about you!
O God, O Buddhas,
please save Raishin!
I promise to stop being selfish.
I won't get jealous if Raishin flirts with human girls.
Even if his shirt gives off the scent of another woman,
even if he deserts me,
even if he suddenly tells me one day that he's got a girlfriend...
You've got the wrong idea!
I was just testing you! Don't fall for it!
I promise not to get jealous, so please save Raishin!
How's Second Last doing?
Rather well for someone who was on the receiving end of a sword like that.
He's got the devil's own luck.
A few millimetres deeper, and it would have sliced his lungs wide open.
A centimetre, and his heart would've been done for.
Are you saying he'll survive?
For now, yeah.
However,
he's showing symptoms of that vital drain we discovered the other day.
He could die any second now.
Can you really take part in the Evening Party as you are?
Look, the King of Swords seems really up for it!
I don't know why he's taking it so seriously.
No-one ranked fifty or below could stand up to him, even if they all fought him together.
Shh. Here comes Silent Roar.
I'm quite surprised, to be honest.
I didn't think you'd show.
I figured you'd run away from this fight.
Wh-Why would I?
You've been awkward and clumsy at everything you've tried since you were a kid.
Furthermore, you've always been a quitter.
You've spent your life taking refuge behind me, afraid of something or another.
And now, you want to take me on?
You've been able to do everything since we were kids.
You've always been efficient, skilled, smart, and strong.
I could get through life by simply clinging to your back.
Hate me if you must,
but I will fight!
I can't protect anyone as long as I'm hiding in your shadow!
Protect? Listen to yourself.
Ravi!
How weak.
Dodge!
Ravi, once again!
As I said, you're too weak!
Ravi!
Close your eyes.
This is the end.
What insane mana!
Can humans really output such an absurd amount?
Ravi? Ravi!
Something feels off.
This doesn't feel like Frey's mana.
Huh?
What the hell is that?!
Frey's mana is being forcibly extracted.
Forcibly? What do you mean?
At this rate, it will kill her.
What the hell?
It's almost like a barrier.
Her blood's being converted into mana.
Cherubim, stop.
Yes.
Ravi, don't!
We have to save him!
Know your place!
Only those invited may take the stage at the Evening Party.
Turning up without leave is the very epitome of ill manners!
This is no time to be saying that!
Just back off.
There's someone more appropriate for that role.
That fool!
Let me in on the fun.
I still lack a dance partner, you see.
Here we go, Yaya! 24 Whistling—
What do you think you're doing?
Right back at you.
You're an outsider. Stay out of this.
Cherubim—
What was that for?
Right back at you!
What are you trying to pull here?
I see you're truly a fool.
I'm obviously going to stop Ravi.
You're the fool here!
The more you attack, the more it eats away at Frey's life!
You don't get it at all.
Hold your tongue and watch me, fool.
No, you watch me!
Right after you.
So you insist on getting in my way?
You want to kill Ravi, don't you?
If I don't, more lives will be lost.
Frey will die.
Then you're no longer needed.
I'll stop him for you.
See?
What can you do in that pathetic state?
This is the only way to save Frey.
Destroying the heart in one blow will stop that monster and save Frey.
That won't do!
If you have to kill her beloved Ravi just to keep her alive,
how the hell can you call that "saving" her?
So what, you're just going to stand by and watch her die?
Of course not!
I'll save them both!
24 Whistling Thrusts!
Yes!
Please, Yaya!
Hold him off!
Raishin!
Loki?
I'm a benevolent and tolerant guy,
but men who are all talk make me want to beat them to death.
Clean up this mess already so I can kill you.
Bring it on. I'll make you eat your words.
Keep yapping!
Sorry about this.
A goddess!
Sorry, and thank you.
You're the only one I can count on, Shouko.
I'll save the lecture for later.
Is it really okay for me to butt in?
Go ahead. If anything, I consider it an honour.
I get to see the great Karyuusai in action, after all.
I'll need insulated forceps, a conductance catheter, ethanol, and distilled water.
I'll also need a large quantity of salt.
Irori, prepare a bowl full of ice.
Yes ma'am.
Oh, and Ms Kimberly,
could you cut a lock of her hair for me?
Shouko...
You can repay me another time.
A magic circuit?
Is it Ravi's?
The army got what they wanted.
I'm sure they won't complain that I let him live.
Thank you.
It's too early to thank me.
His chances of survival are slim.
What happened earlier?
Why did Ravi suddenly go berserk?
You've got it backwards, my boy.
It was Frey who went berserk.
Supplied with more of Frey's mana than he could handle,
Ravi had his sense of reason swept away.
For your information, Frey's heart is fitted with a magic circuit.
What did you say?
A magic circuit that can forcibly draw out the host's mana.
It can increase their affinity to mana,
and before long, alter the very constitution of their bodies.
White Mediums...
I hear they're called "Promised Children" in this country.
Children that are born rich in mana.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could be mass-produced?
So Frey and Loki are...
...man-made Mediums.
Divine Works' guinea pigs.
They have an unnatural, artificially distributed mana flow.
There's no doubt about it.
Their hearts have been mechanised.
You're saying they fitted man with machine?
Their skin colour's a side effect.
The burden on their bodies has robbed them of their pigmentation.
Is it that easy to pull off?
Of course not.
I believe you saw the children for whom surgery had failed with your own eyes, my boy.
Hold it right there.
I will not allow you to leave the school premises.
Why?
As I've said, please contain your conceit.
There is nothing you can do.
Need I spell it out for you?
You're no match for him.
He could beat you while standing on his head.
Him?
The chairman of Divine Works:
Bronson.
A man who acquired the title of Wiseman twenty years ago.
Did you forget about the bet we made?
You are not allowed to die a pathetic death.
Should you be up already?
Shouko's the best puppet maker in the world.
So, uh...
I hope he makes it.
Let Char scratch his ears once he gets better.
Apparently she loves dogs.
Tyrant Rex?
That's what they call her, but she's not a bad girl.
Just a bit stubborn.
People tend to get the wrong idea until they get to know her.
She's just like me.
But I never felt alone...
because I had my family—Ravi—by my side.
Was Yomi family as well?
Yomi was like a second mother to me.
I'm sorry.
I...
No, it's my fault for being weak.
I was supposed to be the one on stage.
But I was so scared, and Mom...
Loki hates me.
He was chosen to wield Cherubim because I'm weak and useless.
I'm so sorry I couldn't keep you safe, Ravi.
Everyone dies because I'm weak.
You're wrong.
You're wrong!
You're not to blame for anything.
Not a single thing!
Yaya.
Yes?
I'm a fool, aren't I?
Yes.
Where do you think you're going this late at night?
On a little stroll.
To the orphanage, right?
I bet you want to seize Ravi's fellow units before they get dismantled.
I have to say, it's not very ladylike to eavesdrop on others.
You're in no state to be out and about!
You're close enough to death already,
yet you want to push yourself even harder?
There's no need to worry.
I've got the best automaton in the world by my side.
Besides, you should know this better than anyone.
What?
You shouldn't give up your family without a fight.
I won't let you.
If you still insist on going, you'll have to get through me first.
Why are you so worked up?
No matter what happens to me, you don't stand to lose anything.
What do you mean, lose?!
You saved me.
Once, though! Just once!
So it's only fitting that I should repay the favour by keeping you safe.
Of course, I'll only do so once.
But that one time, I'll keep you safe no matter what I have to do.
Even if it means getting on your bad side.
This amulet you gave me saved my life.
You did keep me safe once.
That's not what I'm talking about!
I'm telling you to have some faith.
Not in me, but in this thing you gave me.
No fair.
You're playing dirty!
How could you bring that up now?
Fine, go wherever you want! Go die in a ditch and let stray dogs feed off your corpse!
Okay.
You're such a fool!
A Big Ben-sized fool!
We managed to sneak out of the academy thanks to Komurasaki,
but it doesn't look like this part will go as smoothly.
This sure is some heavy security.
Things are rather tense here due to what happened yesterday.
What, you mean the part where you and Komurasaki made out?
Lies and slander.
I nearly died, you know!
Were they dismantled already?
Looks like they were expecting us.
Let's go wild, Yaya.
Sure. That's my speciality.
12 Fiery Thrusts!
Yes!
I'm a benevolent and tolerant guy,
but there are three things I simply can't stand.
People who order me around,
people who oppose me,
and...
reckless sewer rats!
