Sword: Shut uuup!! --- Page 007 Sword: *huff* *huff* Sword: ...what's this? My body feels heavy... Sword: My head is spinning, and I feel fucking dizzy... Ever since we returned from the mountain, my body's been acting real strange... Sword: Damn... What is happening... --- Page 008 Nanami: Are you stupid or something!? Nanami: That's a COLD, a COLD!! Sword: Cold...? What's that... Nanami: See, it makes your body temperature rise and your health bad. Nanami: Fighting while so lightly dressed on that snow-covered mountain, it's no wonder you got a cold!! Ios: A cold, is it...Indeed, then I understand. Ios: When we went up early at the same time, because Kanna-san switched places, I wondered what was up... Ios: Must've been because he didn't want to feel this pain... (Ios: That's just mean...) Sword: For us two, Angel and Devil, this is just too pathetic... Sword: Nothing to do about it, we're free from going out... --- Page 009 Nanami: That's no good, you two! Since you've attended just barely enough days, how are you going to pass to the next grade!? Sword: Ooh!? Sword: Th, that's not our problem! Nanami: Oh, you're saying such a thing...? Then... Nanami: Should I make you return to Souma with these sealing glasses, maybe? (Nanami: I'm sure Souma would go to school.) Sword: I, I got it, I can go, I can go!! Father: I see you're lively, what are you speaking of? I want to join in, too! Nanami: Nothing in particular. Father: Oh, is that so? Father: Ah, now that you say it, it's already 8 o'clock. Is it really good for you to be hanging around? Nanami: Aaah, that's right, let's go, you two!! --- Page 010 Nanami: Sword, what are you waiting for, come on already!! Sword: D... don't speak so loud, my head's really hurting... Bitch... Nanami: Uh... Are you feeling so bad... Maybe you should take some medicine? Sword: Medicine? What's that? Nanami: Don't you even know of medecine? You're really ignorant, aren't you... Sword: Why shouldn't I be! Since I'm a Devil... Nanami: Well, it can't be helped... Nanami: I'm just going to buy some medecine, so wait here!! --- Page 011 Sword: What's with her... She said herself we should go to school... Ios: But... It's good, this human thing... Sword: Uuh? What's good about it... Ios: Even though we argue, if a crucial moment comes, we can think of each other properly... Nothing can stand against people like us... Sword: Feh, just shut up! Sword: I'm going to leave this world as soon as possible. Sword: I'll collect the twelve remaining fragments of Satan's soul that fell to the human world and regain my demonic body!! --- Page 012 Sword: Until then, you should think of a way to regain your original shape... of becoming an Angel again, too, bastard! Sword: I'll crush Satan, and then... Sword: I'll settle the matter with you, bastard!! --- Page 013 Ios: I know, Sword... But until then... Nanami: Hey, you two, what are you fighting about in a place like this!! Nanami: Really, as soon as I take my eyes off you... Why can't you get along!? Sword: Nanami... Sword: Ah, umm... Devils and Angels are enemies, so of course our relations will be bad! Nanami: It has nothing to do with either Devils or Angels!! Sword: B, but... Nanami: Anyway, if you say you'll be arguing... Sword: I got it, I got it!! Nanami: Heh, you better! Ios: ..... --- Page 014 Ios: Enemies... Angels and Devils, and Heaven and Hell... Ios: Certainly, I want to settle matters with Sword. Ios: But... As a human, I certianly wish I could continue this current life... Ios: Hehe... If I return to being an Angel, I might not worry about things like this... Ios: Y, You're... --- Page 015 Shekil: Long time no see, Ios-sama... Ios: Archangel Shekil Aria!! Wh, why did you...? Ios: No way, have you come to kill Sword again...? Shekil: No... This time, the duty I've been ordered... --- Page 016 Ios: ...!! T... to heaven...!? Shekil: Even you should know that demon-king Satan has begun to move, Ios-sama. Shekil: Therefore, we need as many commanders as possible in Heaven. Somehow, together with me... Ios: But right now, I'm not even a complete Angel... If you bring me to Heaven as I am... Shekil: No, there's a way for you to return to an Angel. If there's the body of that human... --- Page 017 Sign: Health room. Sword: Ungh, ungh... Sword: My head's hurting and my body's heavy... I, I'll die... Nanami: Oh, you're so slovenly! Ios-san could bear the pain and take his class... Sword: I'm not like him, I'm delicate. Nanami: Devils shouldn't be more delicate than Angels!! Sword: Feh, I don't know about him... Nanami: Eek!? What's this sudden fe... feeling...!? --- Page 018 Ios: If there's this body...? What on earth... Shekil: If I don't return you to Heaven... Ios: ... Shekil: What are you hesitating about, Ios-sama!! Shekil: If you return to an Angel, you can settle matters with Devil Sword as you've wanted!! That is the will of God!! Ios: He, heheheheheh. Ios: The will of God... you say? Don't make me laugh! --- Page 019 Kanna: I know no such thing!! Kanna: God or whatever, I won't give in to you assholes' selfish desires!! --- Page 020 Shekil: B, black wings... A fallen Angel!? Shekil: Is it the human sharing the body with Ios-sama!? Kanna: What's wrong, was my coming out unexpected? Shekil: ... Human, I cannot forgive you for mocking God, but you challenged me... --- Page 021 Shekil: Because now, I have to left my blade against Ios-sama!! --- Page 022 1. Shekil: As things are, Ios-sama probably wouldn't return together with me. But now that it's you, I can lead you to Heaven without reservation!! --Chapter 2------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 023 Text: Chapter 2, To Heaven. --- Page 024 Nanami: Wait, Sword, where are you going with that body that's caught a cold!? Nanami: You're overstraining Souma's body, what if something happens!! Sword: Shut up, Nanami, don't interfere in what I'm doing! Nanami: Uh... --- Page 025 Kanna: Wh, what's this!? --- Page 026 Shekil: The Cross of Divine Punishment... A divine tool to capture the Fallen Angels who've betrayed heaven. Shekil: It is impossible to escape this divine tool by using Angelic Power!! Kanna: Heh, don't kid around with me! In any case... Kanna: Nggwaaaah!! Shekil: So, it seems like you've resigned. Then... --- Page 027 Shekil: Let's open the Gate to Heaven!! Sword: Just fucking waiit!! --- Page 028 Sword: You damn Angel! What the fuck are you trying to do, hiding from me!? --- Page 029 Shekil: Devil Sword, eh... Shekil: I may be bringing Ios-sama to heaven, but why should I refuse you? Sword: I, Ios, to heaven!? Shekil: Ios-sama shouldn't have been with you to begin with!! Shekil: Step down, Devil!! --- Page 030 Sword: So you're going to kill me!? Interesting, you... Nanami: W, watch out, Sword!! --- Page 031 Nanami: S, Sword!! Shekil: What's the matter, Devil Sword, your power last time we fought... Sword: Feh, even with the cold, somehow, you bastard, I'll... Shekil: Perfect, I'll get the devilspawn you hold here... Nanami: Ah, aah... Ios: .... Please Stop, Shekil... Shekil: ...!? I- Ios-sama!! --- Page 032 Ios: Is not your duty to return me to heaven? Ios: You'll return me to Heaven. Therefore, please stop this fight. Ios: Y... yesyes, as you command! Sword: No waay!? Sword: Hey, Ios, you bastard... Shekil: Silence! Ios-sama will return to heaven, and regain his Angelic form!! Sword: H, his Angelic form...? Shekil: Might it be, you... Shekil: Can't you even protect your own body with Ios-sama not around? --- Page 033 Sword: ..... Sword: D, don't make fun of me... I'm good enough myself, even if that guy's not here... Nanami: M, moron!! What are you saying! Nanami: That's Kanna-kun's body, don't say such selfish things!! Ios: Please don't worry, Nanami-san... Nanami: Eh? --- Page 034 Ios: No matter what he does to protect me, I'll return to the Human World. Nanami: Ios-san... Ios: And, Sword... Ios: When we next meet, we'll be enemies, I guess... --- Page 035 Nanami: He, he's gone! But, Kanna-kun... Nanami: Stupid Sword, why didn't you go together!! Sword: Shut up, be silent!! Nanami: Sword? Sword: .... farewell, Ios... --- Page 037 Ios: ... --- Page 038 Ios: ...that's, the tree of the Sepiroth... Ios: Heaven... Have I returned... Ios: Sword, what on earth should I do... Shekil: Ios-sama, please forget about that Devil. --- Page 039 Ios: Wh, what are you saying, Shekil... Shekil: When you've regained an Angelic body, Ios-sama, that Devil will probably no longer exist in the Human World... Shekil: The "Four Commanders of Hell" who have recieved Satan's life have descended to the Human World. That will mean the end of Sword's life... Ios: Wh... What did you say!? --- Page 040 Devil: This is the Human World... Devil: And... where in the world is our enemy, Devil Sword... --Chapter 3------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 041 Text: Chapter 3, The Four Commanders of Hell. --- Page 042 Ios: Heaven... I've finally returned... Ios: And, I'll regain an angelic body... Shekil: That's right, Ios-sama. --- Page 043 Ios. !! Ios: Shekil, what on earth is this!? I've never seen this thing before... Angel: Let me explain, Ios... Ios: You!! --- Page 044 Ios: Archangel Michael!! {note, while Shekil is dai-tenshi (great angel); Michael is tenshi-chou, or "angel-boss".} Michael: Welcome back... We've been waiting, Ios. Ios: Michael-sama... Is this really your doing? Michael: That's right, I built this masterpiece to make you an Angel again... Michael: Devil Sword is being attacked by the Four Commanders of Hell... Ios, please forget about him and become an Angel again. --- Page 045 Nanami: In the end, Ios-san & co didn't come back... Nanami: Aah... (Father: Ka- Kanna is gone again.) (Father: Father, father...) Nanami: Uncle is worrying, too, saying Kanna-kun suddenly disappeared... Sword: Stop it already, this talk... It's boring. Nanami: Sword!! Nanami: Sword... Are you really alright, Sword...? Sword: He returned to heaven on his own, it's not something I know about. Voice: *giggle*... Acting strong as always... --- Page 046 Sword: Garvera!! Garvera: Angel Ios isn't around right now... I doubt Hell has overlooked that fact. Ranfuu: I agree... Sword: Ranfuu!! Even you bastard... Sword: You bastards... It isn't nice to be listening in on somebody!! Garvera: What! Since I heard Ios wasn't around, I was worried... Sword: I don't need your help!! --- Page 047 Sword: Even if Ios isn't here, I'm good enough on my own!! Garvera: ...is that really so? Sword: What!? Garvera: There are inummerable Devils in Hell that the current you couldn't beat... Alone is impossible. Garvera: Furthermore, if you collect all the fragments of Satan's soul and become a Devil again, it's a different matter, but... Sword: Feh... Ranfuu: It's not that I worry about you, but, Ios is not here. You should be as careful as possible... Sword: Shut up! No matter what sort of guys come, I can kick their asses on my own!! --- Page 048 Teacher: Well, this is Minazuki-san, a teacher trainee, who will be teaching everybody mathematics from today. Girl: This practician is really handsome... Girl: Yeah, maybe [iketeru]... I'm looking forward to mathematics class! Minazuki: My name is Minazuki... It will only be a short time, but pleased to meet you, everybody. {yoroshiku is one of those hard-to-translate expressions} Girl: Eeeeek, he's so coool!! --- Page 049 Minazuki: Is the person next to the guy looking out the window absent...? Teacher: Aah, Kanna-kun, I've been informed he's home sick with a slight cold. He's the older twin brother of Souma-kun there. Minazuki: Is that so... Souma-kun, I hope your brother gets well soon... Nanami: Something wrong? Sword: No, it's nothing... Teacher: Then let us beging the class immediately. --- Page 050 Sign: Teacher trainee Preparation Room. Fennel: You're back at last, Bazil. How was it, your first job in the Human World!? Bazil: Hehe... That was bad... How was yours. Bazil: Fennel... Fennel: I did something called Softball, but, it was kinda interesting!! Fennel: Galam, how was it for you? Galam: Heh, stupid... --- Page 051 Fennel: What!? Galam: I can't agree with the suggestion from that "principal" that we should try out human life!! Galam: If we're to kill Sword, why don't we finish it quickly!? Galam: Hanging around here... Is not something for us, the Four Commanders of Hell!! Bazil: Don't take Sword lightly! Certainly, to kill him and get the Devilspawn, we'll first have to know him. Galam: You... You're showing him your fear... Fennel: Shut up, Galam!! --- Page 052 Fennel: Are you defying what Bazil has decided!? Galam: Fennel... are you going to kill me? Fennel: Aaah, if that's what you want!! Deel: Wait... Stop it you two! If we fight in a place like this, we'll soon be discovered!! Fennel: Deel!! You be silent!! Deel: Wh, what's with you two! Shouldn't you be happy you've taken human shapes!! --- Page 053 Deel: Why am I just a bird!! Fennel: It can't be helped, it's because you're a little runt!! Deel: Don't call me runt!! Fennel: That's the way it is, it wouldn't work with these students here. Don't complain!! Galam: It's strange that an idiot like you could become one of the Four commanders to begin with! Deel: Wha- what did you say!! Bazil: Cut it out, you... --- Page 054 Bazil: If there's any complaints... Take them to me, Bazil Hornet. --- Page 055 Deel: Bazil's really angry... Fennel: Y-yeah... Deel: I, I don't have any complaints! Fennel: Me neither!! Bazil: Is that so... Galam: I have a complaint... Galam: I didn't get your instructions... Please repeat them. Fennel: You asshole, just wait, Galam!! Bazil: Deel, keep your eyes on Galam. Bazil: It would be bad it he acts on his own... --- Page 056 Sword: Nanami, what do you think... Nanami: Eh, what...? Sword: That teacher trainee guy that came today... Nanami: Nothing special... But wasn't he kinda cute? Sword: ...Oh... Nanami: That doesn't matter, Sword!! Think of a way to get Kanna-kun back!! Sword: What, are you talking about that again! Ain't that good, just forget about that asshole quickly!! Nanami: Idiot!! How could I forget about him!! --- Page 057 Galam: Sword... And the woman you're with... is it... Galam: Deel, you've been told to watch me, right. There's something a little funny... (Deel: Y- you're revealing us.) Deel: Wh, what... I don't what to hear about your fun!! Galam: Listen, the taste of this dream... Deel: Tha- that's... My favorite, one which appears only once in a hundred years in the forest of dream-woods-sea!! Galam: My fun, will you listen...? Deel: OK!! --- Page 058 Nanami: Ow!! Sword: What's the matter, Nanami!? Nanami: Just now, suddenly, a bird, my hair... Sword: Huh!? Sword: Bitch, you screamed for something like that!! Nanami: What! It hurt!! Galam: Hehe, I'm the one to get excited... Sword... Since you will die immediately... --- Page 059 Father: Souma, Soumaaa!? Come down for a minute, please!! Sword: Feh, he's loud, the old man... It's just about Kanna! Sword: You're stubborn, I've told you I don't know!! Father: Th, that's not it, Nanami-chan is heree!! Sword: ... Nanami...? Sword: What is it, Nanami... Why'd you bring me to a place like this? --- Page 060 Sword: If it's about Ios... Nanami: It's not. Sword... Nanami: I... Sword: Huh? --Chapter 4------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 061 Text: Chapter 4 - Demon Lord of Earth, Galam. --- Page 062 Sword: Nanami: Sword... Sword: Wait a minute, Nanami... What the hell is the matter!! --- Page 063 Nanami: Sword... Do you hate me...? Sword: Ung. (Sword: H, her breasts...) Nanami: Sword, I... --- Page 064 Sword: Wha...!? Nanami: Nanami: Sword... Why'd you avoid it...? Sword: Nanami... you, no way... Sword: Heh... so that' it, I thought there was something strange about Nanami drawing close to me... --- Page 065 Sword: Fucking come out, you damn Devil!! Galam: Hehe... You idiot, even though I thought I'd give you a good feeling before you died... --- Page 066 Galam: I'm one of the Four Commanders of Hell, the Demon Lord of Earth, Galam Harness!! Galam: After seeing my shape... You won't return alive, Devil Sword!! --- Page 067 Sword: The Four Commanders of hell, you say....!? Sword: Did you fucking manipulate Nanami with that thing, bastard... Sword: I don't know about the Four Commanders or whatever, but I won't let you use such cheap tricks!! Galam: Hehe... Saying you don't know of us, you're as stupid as one can be... Galam: However, it's not impossible, you're a low-ranking devil, but since nobody returns alive after seeing our shapes... Sword: Uh... --- Page 068 Sword: Wha!? Galam: Hehe... As I command the powers of Earth, something like killing you is easy... Galam: However... Galam: Well, that wouldn't be interesting... Let's have a little game... --- Page 069 Sword: Na, Nanama...!? Galam: One of these is the living human, the rest are puppets created from earth. If you were a true devil, you'd break them all, but... Galam: Can you, human half, do that? Sword: Y, you bastard...!! --- Page 070 Sword: S, stop, Nanami!! Sword: Which fucking one is real!! Sword: Da, Damn! --- Page 071 Sword: Wha!? Nanami: Eeek!? Ranfuu: Sword, I told you you can't do it alone... Sword: B, bastard... --- Page 072 Sword: You stupid fucking moron!! Sword: The real Nanami's among these too, you mustn't hurt her!! Ranfuu: Whaat? Ranfuu: The idiot is you! What does something like that matter if you die!! Sword: Even so, I won't let you raise a finger against Nanami!! Galam: Hehehe, again, the foolishness increases... What power do you possess, human... Galam: A stupid, traitorous Punishing Devil serving Shiva... --- Page 073 Galam: For an incompetent Devil who has to borrow the power of an Angel, they're certainly suitable companions... Sword: Incompetent Devil, you say...!? I won't let you say that... Ranfuu: Sword, whatever you say, I'll do it... Garvera: Me too. It's bad to Nanami-san, but... Sword: Ba, bastards, is Nanami the enemy!? Even if I control myself...!! --- Page 074 Ranfuu: Lets go, Garvera!! --- Page 075 Ranfuu: Y, you idiot... you overdid it, Sword!! Garvera: If one of those was the true one... Sword: Don't worry. The true Nanami is behind me! Sword: Look, they're all returning to the earth... Galam: ...you, how'd you know...? The dolls I created should be perfect copies of that woman! Sword: ...it's the smell! Sword: This Nanami smelled like that time... The others didn't have any smell... --- Page 076 Galam: Hehe... Indeed, seems like you do have a head... Sword: Well, what'll you do now that you can't use those dolls you were so proud of, bastard... Galam: Well... How's this? Galam: You forget that that human, too, is now my puppet!! --- Page 077 Ranfuu: Sword!! Sword: Stop, don't hurt her!! Sword: I made a promise to protect Nanami... Thus, I cannot hurt Nanami... Sword: So, even if it means my death... Nanami: S, Sword... Galam: I won't allow that, come on, kill Sword!! --- Page 078 Nanami: Uh... Galam: Yes, that's good... You should sever his throath!! Galam: Being killed by a human... To an incompetent Devil, that's a fitting death!! Galam: !! Galam: What's with this rain!? It melted the magical puppet I created!? --- Page 079 Sword: Nanami...!? Galam: Heh, Seems like there's come an obstacle... I'll retreat here. Galam: But don't forget... The next time we meet, you will taste pain... Sword: What did you say, bastard!! Ranfuu: H, he's gone...!? Ranfuu: But... why'd he suddenly leave...? --- Page 80 Galam: The one who could manipulate the water that melted my magical puppet, that can only be you, Demon Lord of Water, Bazil Hornet... Galam: You're there, aren't you... why did you stop me? Bazil: Galam, the way you fight isn't smart... --- Page 81 Bazil: As the Four Commanders of Hell that serve Satan-sama, we mustn't fight such shameful battles... Do not act on your own...!! Bazil: Deel... you too. Acting on the spur of the moment is forbidden!! Deel: Y, yees... Fennel: You idiot, don't let Galam use you so easily!! Deel: Sh, shut up!! Bazil: Galam, I won't say the same thing twice... do you understand? Galam: Yeah... --- Page 82 Ranfuu: Somehow, that woman seems unhurt... Sword: Yeah. Garvera: And more importantly, are your wounds OK? Sword: It's no big deal, this... don't tell Nanami about this, got it! Sword: Since, if you tell her, she'd care... Nghh...!! Garvera: Sword!? Garvera: ...!! S, Sword, that wound... Garvera: The wound is turning to stone...!? --Chapter 5------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 083 Text: Chapter 5: Turn to stone. --- Page 084 Mizuno: Lord, hear my voice. My name is Mizuno... Mizuno: Unseal the binding, the purified stream... Mizuno: Curse, leave!! Garvera: Ooh! --- Page 085 Sword: ... Sword: Hey, Mizuno... You told me to leave the cancelling of the curse to you... Mizuno: Please leave it to me!! Mizuno: Yes. Sword: Don't go yes. Why didn't this wound heal!! Sword: You incompetent excorcist!! Mizuno: Calm down, Sword-san!! Sword: Uuh!... A Cross!? Mizuno: A curse of terrible level is placed on that wound... --- Page 086 Mizuno: Right now, I can neither remove the curse nor stop the transformation to stone... Sword: Did you say transformation to stone...!? What do you mean? Mizuno: Right now, that wound is no more than a small lump of stone. But... Mizuno: If the curse advances, you'll turn completely to stone...!! --- Page 087 Sword: A, are you serious... Sword: Mi... Mizuno, isn't there any other way? Mizuno: There isn't. Mizuno: But, the person who placed the curse should know of a way... Ranfuu: You can't do it alone, Sword. Maybe if Ios was still around... Garvera: That's right. Sword: Ngh... Garvera: Galam, Satan's very closest, and the Demon Lord who controls Earth, one of the four elements... It's the first time I see him, but he's not only sly, but also strong, that guy... Sword: I'll kill him!! Who does he think he is!! --- Page 088 Teacher: Of the person who said that... (Sword: Bad...) Sword: But where can I search... Sword: !! --- Page 089 Galam: Amano-kun, please take the lesson seriously!! Sword: Shut up!! Don't bother about me!! Galam: W... well, we can continue the lesson. Uuh, next is page 59... Sword: Feh! Sword: Unfriendly... Sword: Hm? Sword: Why, mud from above...? --- Page 090 Nanami: Sword, what's the matter? Sword: Oh, it's nothing. It has nothing to do with you... Nanami: ..... --- Page 091 Sword: I don't know what sort of trap you've laid, but, you could've saved me the time looking!! Sword: Fucking come out, Galam Harness!! Sword: Na... Nanami!? --- Page 092 Sword: Y, you... Why are you here!? Nanami: What are *you* doing, Sword? In a place like this... Sword: M, me? I'm just taking a walk!! Nanami: You're lying!! Nanami: I... remember... I wounding Sword, Souma's body... Sword: Wh, what... Did you follow me worrying about that!? Then, I'm already fine!! Nanami: Then show me your wound!! Sword: Ah!! --- Page 093 Nanami: !! Sword: Daaaamn. Nanami: What's this... The wound I inflicted...!? Nanami: Because of this wound, you're here...? Sword: H, hey, certainly, it's become somewhat worrysome, but... Sword: You don't particularly have to worry about it. At the time, you were being controlled... Nanami: Sword... --- Page 094 Sword: The guy who placed the curse is here... Sword: If I kick his ass, I'll be fine again!! Sword: Galam, do you hear me!? Hurry up and begin!! Sword: Wh... at? This is...!! --- Page 095 Sword: The school building turned into a sand castle...!? Galam: Hehehe... With that body, welcome, Sword! --- Page 096 Sword: Galam Harness!! Nanami: Uh... Galam: Come, Sword!! If you want to remove the curse, come to my origin!! Sword: Feh... interersting, let's do it, why don't we!! Nanami: Wait, Sword!! --- Page 097 Nanami: I understand I can't help... But, if there's something I can do... Sword: There's only one thing... Sword: Believe in me and Souma!! --- Page 098 Sword: Hey, you guys, protect Nanami closely here!! Garvera: Are you going to go alone, Sword? Sword: Yeah... Nanami: Sword!! Sword: Be a good kid and waitm Nanami... Nanami: --- Page 099 Ios: What!? What did you say, Michael-sama!! Michael: Didn't you listen, Ios... Michael: For you to become an Angel again, you need a human body and soul. Michael: Specifically, the one more soul in you right now will be annihilated... --- Page 100 Michael: When you enter this, you will fight the soul of the human Amano Kanna!! Michael: If you defeat the human soul, the energy in this machine will create an angelic body. Now then, enter it!! --Chapter 6------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 101 Text: Chapter 6, Castle of Mud --- Page 102 Ios: For me to return to the shape of an Angel, I must fight and destroy Kanna-san's soul here... Ios: Are you telling me to kill Kanna-san with my own hands!? --- Page 103 Michael: Now then, Ios, enter. What are you hesitating about? Ios: Michael-sama... I can't do it... Killing Kanna-san and turning this body into an Angel... Michael: You will return to an Angel... This is the will of God! Michael: The will of God is absolute!! Ios: Th- this is...!! --- Page 104 Shekil: Please forgive my rudeness. Ios: Shekil... Shekil: However, this, too, is for your own sake, Ios-sama... Michael: I will only say it once more... Ios, fight with the human soul, and regain an angelic body. Ios: ...I cannot... Ios: I can't do it!! Even if God says so, you shouldn't do as you please with a human life!!! Shekil: I- Ios-sama... Michael: Is that so... well, it can't be helped... --- Page 105 Ios: Waaaah!! Michael: If possible, I wanted you to choose the path to return to an Angel of your own will, but... --- Page 106 Garvera: I don't like it, this castle of mud... Garvera: It easily stopped us from entering when we tried... Ranfuu: He's planned for only Sword to enter... Mizuno: Will he be OK, Sword-san... Ranfuu: Anyway, if we can't lend a hand, all that's left is to wait... --- Page 107 Sword: What is this... It's mud!? Sword: Really, you fucking created a castle in bad taste... Sword: I don't want to fight in a place like this! Sword: !! --- Page 108 Galam: I welcome you to my castle, welcome, Sword!! --- Page 109 Galam: The curse of petrification on your arm... Don't you like it? Sword: Y., you... I'll get you...!! Sword: I'm not going to listen to your boring speech, bastard!! Let's go!! Galam: Don't be so hasty, won't you let me have a bit of fun first... Sword: Hn!? --- Page 111 Galam: The castle I, who control earth, created is full of Demonic Power.... Sword: Wh... what's these!? Sword: E, earthworms...!? Galam: By absorbing that Demonic Power, the creatures of earth become my soldiers!! --- Page 112 Sword: I see... Really... It's not just the castle, your soldiers are in bad taste, too. Sword: Earthworms, ants... Well, maybe your underlings suit you. Galam: Seems like the petrification of your left arm is continuing... --- Page 113 Galam: Don't forget... Inside this castle, the petrification of that arm continues at double speed... Sword: Wha...!? Sword: Woh!? Galam: Hahahaha!! If you hesitate, your whole body will turn to stone before you notice it!! Sword: You... Galam: Now the Devilspawn is mine. I can imagine the look on his face!! --- Page 114 Fennel: Galam is acting on his own again... What do we do, Bazil? Bazil: This time, we won't stop him... it's a perfect opportunity to observe Sword's power. Deel: But, surely, Galam will beat Sword! Won't he get all the credit for himself, then!! Bazil: If that happens, it doesn't matter. I don't care about recognization. Deel/Fennel: Eeh!? Bazil: However, Sword is a man that Shiva approved... will it be so easy...? --- Page 115 Sword: Rah... Ngh... Galam: What's the matter, can't you use hands or feet against enemies like earthworms!? Galam: After all, you're a low rank Devil. You can't do anything when not borrowing the power of Angel Ios!! Sword: Do... Do... --- Page 116 Sword: Don't make fun of me!! --- Page 117 Sword: !! --- Page 118 Galam: You did it... However, it wouldn't be interesting otherwise!! Galam: Now then, my soldiers are still left. Galam: Your change to stone or the end of your struggles here, which will come first, I wonder? --- Page 119 Sword: Huh!? Sword: I don't need Ios' power!! --Chapter 7------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 121 Text: Chapter 7, fury. --- Page 122 Shekil: Michael-sama, should we really do this...? Shekil: I... cannot forget the things Ios-sama said... Ios: Even if God says so, you shouldn't do as you please with a human life!! Michael: There is no problem, Shekil... --- Page 123 Michael: Look, Ios & co's souls have started to separate from the human body. Michael: Those two will compete with the power of their souls in the mental world created inside the infinite sphere. Michael: Then, once Ios' soul just destroys the human soul... Michael: If he returns to an angelic shape, Ios too should be able to understand... That the will of God is correct! --- Page 124 Ios: Th, this place is... --- Page 125 Ios: My soul has separated from Kanna's body. Now, if I exist only as a soul... then, is this a world brought forth by my mind... Kanna: Indeed... Ios: !! --- Page 126 Ios: Whaa!? Kanna: And, we're having a deathmatch here. Ios: Ka, Kanna-san!! Kanna: Really, you angels create interesting things... --- Page 127 Kanna: Making our souls fight for our true shapes... Kanna: Is the plan that only the one who survives can return to the body... Kanna: Fine, that's easy to understand. Kanna: This means that the one with the stronger soul will survive!! Ios: Ngh!! Ios: Please wait, Kanna-san... There is no point in us killing each other!! --- Page 128 Ios: There should be a way to save both our souls!! Kanna: Heh, there's no need for that!! Kanna: Since your existance is only a hindrance to me!! Kanna: I will crush your soul and become a human again!! --- Page 129 Ios: Strong!! This is the power of Kanna-san's soul... Kanna: What's the matter, Ios, is that the power of your soul!?! Kanna: Are you going to let yourself be destroyed here without reaching a conclusion with Sword!? --- Page 132 Ios: Wh... Ios: No... Why did I pull the Sword... Kanna: The power of your soul and mine is equal. I knew that before our swords clashed... We wouldn't reach a conclusion in an eternity. Ios: I, if you knew that, why didn't you search for a way for both our souls to survive...!? Kanna: There's no time... Kanna: Understand, since Souma and I are twings... He's getting in danger. --- Page 133 Kanna: We have to return to the human world. But, if I lose the angelic power, there's no point in me returning... Kanna: Ios, take care of them... --- Page 134 Shekil: Michael-sama, does this mean...!? Michael: Ios is victorious, and his souls has retruned to the body... The obvious result. Michael: Then, in there, using the power when the soul of the remaining human is annihilated, Ios' body is merely changed to that of an Angel... Shekil: Now, Ios-sama will... --- Page 135 Ios: Uwaaaaaaaaaaaah!! Shekil: What!? --- Page 136 Shekil: Ios-sama, what...!? Michael: Idiot... Even though your body hasn't been changed yet... Will you go against the will of God!? Michael: Get Ios back!! Ios: Don't make fun of me!! Are you saying this is the will of God!!?! Michael: Ios, do you understand yourself what you're doing!? --- Page 137 Ios: I understand well enough!!! Shekil: Ios-samaaa!! Michael: Hurry, block the gate to the human world!! Hurry up and follow!! Ios: There's only one more thing I must do... Return to the human world!! Ios: Kanna-san's death must not be for nothing!! --- Page 138 Sword: Sh, shit... No matter how many of them I kill, they're endless!! Galam: Hehehe... well done, Sword. But, you've reached your limit... Look!! --- Page 139 Galam: Your right arm has turned completely to stone. You can't even use the Ankokumatoujutsu with that arm!! Galam: Now, you have no way to fight!! Take him, my soldiers!! --- Page 140 Sword: Wha...!? You, bastard.... Sword: Ios!! --Chapter 8------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 141 Text: Chapter 8, Back to life. --- Page 142 Sword: You... Why are you here!? You've become an angel again...!? Ios: I haven't returned to an Angel yet, Ios: You may say you don't need my power, but... --- Page 143 Ios: I killed Kanna-san with these hands, and returned here... Kanna: Go, Ios, to save them...!! Ios: I have to fulfill my promise to him...!! Galam: This guy's a riot, an Angel coming here from Heaven to rescue a Devil!! Galam: But, this is perfect... --- Page 144 Galam: If I kill Angel Ios as well, I'm sure Satan-sama will be pleased!! Galam: Go, my right arm!! Galam: Surprised!? With the secret arts of this Necronomicon, I have made various souls dwell in my body!! Galam: And, by absorbing earth holding demonic power, they assume their true shape! --- Page 145 Cockatrice: Kyeeeeeh! Galam: The name of my right arm is Cockatrice!! This demonic power turns everything to stone!! Sword: Waah!! Ios: ...!? The... The mud turned to stone...!! --- Page 146 Ios: Sword, retreat, I'll take care of him!! Sword: What!? You're the one who should retreat, bastard!! Ios: What are you saying you can accomplish with that arm!? Ios: Sword, do as I ask, today only!! Since Kanna choose his own death to to save you and Souma... Ios: To make his death meaningful, --- Page 147 Ios: I have to fight!! --- Page 148 Ios: General of Hell, prepare yourself!! Ios: HAAAAAH! --- Page 149 Galam: Hehe, clever, Angel Ios... Good arm. Galam: But in the end, you're too light... Look closely over there...!! Ios: S... Sword!! Sword: What!? It's fucking revived!! --- Page 150 Cockatrice: Kykeeeeh! Sword: !? Fuck!! I can't move well, and my arm is heavy... --- Page 151 Ios: Sword!! Galam: The souls dwelling in my body are immortal... With earth holding demonic power, they can revive any number of times!! Galam: Well, what'll you do? If you break that stone, it will only kill Sword. Will you still do it!? Sword: What the fuck are you doing? Don't mind about me, kill Galam!! Galam: You can't do anything!! Since you came back only to save him...!! --- Page 152 Michael: He kicked about the Angels and returned to the Human World... Ios, you're being stupid. Michael: So, this human soul is that important... --- Page 153 Michael: Todays matter might even reach the ears of God... Michael: Shekil, I entrust punishing that human soul to you. Shekil: Punish...!? But, then, Ios-sama... Michael: I will search for a way for Ios to become an Angel again. Michael: Furthermore, if God can forgive it... Shekil: But, it might sadden Ios-sama... Then, what should I do... --- Page 154 Galam: Good, good, Angel Ios... seeing that pained face feels good!! Sword: Sh... Sword: Shit, if I could only move this body...!! --- Page 155 Ios: That voice...!? Sword: Wha, what's this!? --- Page 156 Kanna: Are you going to let Souma die like this...!? Sword: Ka... Kanna!? Ios: A, a phantom...? I'm sure Kanna-san died by my hands... How could he be here...!? --- Page 157 Ios: That's no phantom, Kanna-san is alive!! Galam: Wha...!? --- Page 158 Ios: Sword, are you really all right with being made fun of like that!? Sword: Of course I'm not!! --Chapter 9------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 159 Text: Chapter 9, Evolution. --- Page 160 Sword: Raooooooooh!! Ios: Sword!! Galam: No way... Is he trying to break the petrification curse by force...!? Kanna: Heh... Seems like my help is no longer needed... --- Page 161 Fennel: ...? What's the mattar, Bazil... Bazil: Don't you feel it, this surge...? Fennel: Huh? Fennel ...This surge... Impossible...!!! The surge of Satan-sama...!? Fennel: But, why at a place like this!? Bazil: Sword already has one fragment of Satan-sama's soul. Has the devilspawn begun to awaken... --- Page 162 Sword: Ooooooh!! Galam: That's... The devilspawn!!! I see... It's neutralizing the petrification curse!! --- Page 163 Ios: The shape of the devilspawn is changing...!? What on earth... Galam: My right arm, kill Sword for me!! Ios: I won't let you raise a hand against Sword & co!! Galam: Gwahaha!! Didn't I tell you, no matter what you do my right arm will revive!! --- Page 164 Ios: Then I'll have to smash it so it won't be able to revive!! Galam: Futile! Futile! No matter how you attack it, it won't be effective, and with it's invurnerable regeneration, it's surely an invincible opponent!! Sword: Feh!! What's an invincible opponent!! Sword: I'd say such idiocy is a very thin speculation!! --- Page 165 Sword: Let's go, Ios!! Ios: Heh! Ios: I understand, Sword!! --- Page 167 Sword: It's vurnerable from below! Sword: BREAK!!! Galam: !! --- Page 168 Cockatrice: Gwaaaaaaah!! Galam: I can't believe it, that lower-grade Devil having the power to crush my right arm... Sword: Hehe... Right now, I can do anything!! Galam: !! Sword: I don't know what it is, but thank's to this thing, I'm in a good mood!! --- Page 169 Galam: Th, that's... The evolved shape of the Devilspawn!? Sword: Let's go, Demon Lord of Earth, Galam Harness!! Sword: Fucking die!! Galam: Has he made Satan-sama's power his own!! --- Page 170 Garvera: ...!! What was that explosion...!? Nanami: Sword... Souma... Sword: ...What's with the gloomy face, Nanami? --- Page 171 Nanami: Sword!! Sword: Didn't I tell you? Have faith in us... Nanami: I'm so glad you're safe... Ios: It was a bit dangerous, but... --- Page 172 Nanami: Ios-san!!! Why are you here...!? Nanami: I see, you really did come... Nanami: You promised to protect me, and return Kanna-kun to the human world... Sword: Hey, Ios, don't tell Nanami about Kanna dying... Ios: I understand... We musn't make her worry any more. I'll return him to the body later. --- Page 173 Ios: If I don't thank him for saving me... Sword: Feh, I didn't need your help!! Ios: !! Nanami: Sword!? Nanami: What's the matter, Sword, hang on!! Sword: It's nothing, I just used a bit too much power thanks to this thing. Nanami: A, are you OK...? --- Page 174 Sword: Of course, if I just get a little sleep... *snoooore* Nanami: Sword... Garvera: I'm shocked... He's sleeping already! Mizuno: It can't be helped. Today, he seems to have overdone it quite a bit so Nanami-san wouldn't worry. Garvera: That's nice, he's become a reliable boy!! Ios: Sword's not the only one who overdid it... Nanami: ...... Nanami: Thank's Sword... --- Page 175 Galam: Heheh, idiot!! The battle's not over yet... Galam: Now that Sword's used up his power...!! Bazil: That's enough... As one of the four generals of hell, don't expose such an unpresentable shape. Galam: Ba... Bazil!! --- Page 176 Bazil: This time, you lost!! Galam: No way!! I, of the four generals, lose...!! Bazil: Silence! You forget that as a result of that pride, you let the Devilspawn evolve!! Bazil: Devil Sword, and your friends.... Seems like you've formed a deep friendship... --Chapter 10----------------------------------------------------- --- Page 177 Text: Devil and Angel, partners!? DEVIL & DEVIL Text: Chapter 10, A Welcome Visitor Arrives. --- Page 178 Sword: Hnnnnn. Sword: Ooh, nice weather today, feels good! Ios: You seem to be in a good mood, Sword... Sword: Hm? Sword: Of course I am! You saw it, the power of this Devilspawn when evolved!! --- Page 179 Sword: This, with one of the fragments of Satan's soul! I'm can't wait for the day when I gather all 13 fragments and regain my demonic body!! Ios: I'm glad to see you're at ease... Sword: What's the matter, why are you looking so gloomy!? Ios: Things are looking dork. Ios: Thinking back, what have I done... I must certianly have angered God... Ios: Aah, what on earth should I do... Sword: Sheesh... What's done is done! Ios: If so... All I can do is to repent to God!! --- Page 180 Sword: What? Isn't the previous visiter here. Sword: He's the sort of guy who'd pray to God no matter where, but... Sword: Hey, what sort of guy is he... Sword: Na, Nanamiii!? Nanami: Sword!? What's the matter, why are you here... Sword: That's my question. What about you!? Ios: Um... On the way to school, this guy asked me for directions to the church... --- Page 181 Ios: It can't be... Shekil!? Ios: You, why...!? Nanami: You know him? Shekil: I... I... Shekil: Ios-samaaa!! Ios: Huh!? Ios: Wait a minute, Shekil, please calm down! What on earth has happened? Shekil: Boohooooo... --- Page 182 Shekil: Actually... Shekil: I was banished from Heaven for the crime of returning Amano Kanna's soul to the Human World... To repent for that, I came here... Ios: Shekil... Was it you who rescued Kanna-san's soul... Ios: Please be relieved, what you did was not wrong. There is no need for repentance. Shekil: I, Ios-sama... Sword: What the fuck are you saying, you came to repent yourself! So, this Angel guy... Shekil: Sword!! You, a Devil.... --- Page 183 Shekil: Dare insult Ios-sama!! Ios: Shekil... Please stop!! Nanami: Sword!! Sword: Feh... What a short-tempered guy!! Shekil: Wha...!? --- Page 184 Ios: Shekil!! Sword: Moron, looking for a fight with me now!! Ios: Please stop, you two! Look at Mizuno-san!! Mizuno: M... My church... Ios: Honestly... An Angel causing trouble for a human... Shekil: Ios-sama... Shekil: I'm sorry. I just flared up... --- Page 185 Nanami: Hey, you apologize to Mizuno-san too, Sword! Sword: Wh, why me!? Mizuno: Ah... it's OK, Nanami-san, don't worry about it!! Mizuno: If the rebuild it properly. Sword: Hey, bastard, don't run away!! Shekil: I'm not running! There's nowhere for me to go... Sword: Aah, you've been exiled from Heaven and have nowhere to live! Shekil: Don't be an idiot, I've thought of a place to stay!! Sword: Ooh, where's that? Shekil: I... if possible, I would like to stay by Ios-sama's side... (Sword: WHAT!?) Sword: You asshole, don't joke about that!! Shekil: I'm not listening to you!! Ios: This is a problem. There's no more rooms at the house... Mizuno: Then please leave it to me. --- Page 186 Mizuno: As a servant of God, I'll take care of it. Sword: H, huge... Something like this, on the backside of a church... Nanami: I didn't know you were rich, Mizuno-san! Mizuno: Well, please enter. --- Page 187 Soujirou: Oooh, welcomee, Souma-kuun!! Sword: Gah, Yakumi Soujirou!! Mizuno: Out of the way, big brother!! Soujirou: Hn... Mizuno: Really, he's so obnoxious... Sword: H, hey... Is that really OK? Mizuno: It's hard to tell he's my big brother. Sword: Even a younger sister saying that... Even appearing after this long a time, he's a miserable guy... Mizuno: Well, use whichever room you like!! --- Page 188 Sword: J, just how many rooms are there? Not at all like home... Sword: I'm getting somewhat irritated... Sword: Shit! I'll break them all down!! Mizuno: Uh, Sword-san, that room is...!! --- Page 189 Garvera: What are you peeping at, pervert!! Mizuno: I forgot to tell you, Garvera-san is living here too. Sword: Is it OK for a servant of God to shelter a Devil!? Mizuno: But, it'd be a problem if she had nowhere to live... Mizuno: Garvera-san, actually, there'll be one more person living here... Garvera: ...!! No way... Arch-angel Shekil Aria!? Shekil: D, d... Shekil: Don't make fun of me!! --- Page 190 Shekil: Though merely recieving favors from a human is humiliating... Shekil: I can't live together with a Devil!! Garvera: What's with that way of talking, just how great are Angels anyway!? Shekil: Hide your front, your front!! Garvera: Well, it'd be fine if you don't look!! Shekil: If you just wore clothes, I could live here!! Sword: You're really a loud fellow... Well, you can go anywhere you like. --- Page 191 Shekil: Bastard, who's fault do you think this is... Sword: Heh... Who asked you to save Kanna!? Shekil: It's really wrong for a Devil like you to live with Ios-sama. Switch place with me!! Ios: Please stop, Shekil!! Ios: You can't say that, with Mizuno-san's doing you this favor... Shekil: But, Ios-sama... Ios: Shekil... Shekil: I, I understand. I'm unwilling, but if you say so, Ios-sama... Sword: Idiot, you should have obeyed from the beginning!! Garvera: Yeah, yeah!! Shekil: Sword, you bastard!! --- Page 192 Ios: This sour mood is the opposite of this morning, isn't it, Sword? Sword: Of course!! Why'd he have to come here!! Shekil: I didn't tell you, but... I'll be going to school from today. Sword: Whaat!? Shekil: I have to watch that you're not being rude to Ios-sama! Sword: Y, you... Shekil: And, one more thing... --- Page 193 Shekil: I thought I'd give you some information on the fragments of Satan's soul... Shekil: If Ios-sama stay's at your side, he'll be exiled from Heaven. Shekil: Even for Ios-sama to return to an Angel, you must first become a Devil again. --- Page 194 Shekil: I'm reluctant, but... I'm determined to repent, and I'll co-operate with you. Sword: You bastard... Deel: Ooh, I heard something nice. Deel: This time, it's my turn, Demon Lord of Wind, Deel-sama! -----------------------------------------------------------------
