Until now, it was that brutal Amano Souma!! --- Page 005 Sword: Fuck, I'm sick of this!! Sword: *huff* *huff* Sworld: What's what this Kanna-kuuuuun, Shekil-kuuuun! I can't understand everybody... Sword: The true charm of a man is strength!! Not surrendering to anyone!! Nanami: What stupid things are you saying, Sword!! Sword: What, Nanami... You have some business? (Sword: I'm in a bad mood.) --- Page 006 Sword: What, a date!? Sword: A date, me and you? Nanami: D... Don't misunderstand me!! Nanami: I don't think anything special about you!! But...

Nanami: I forgot, he's a Devil... --- Page 007 Sword: Ooh, I see. Sword: I understand this date thing well. To sum it up... Sword: You like me! Sword: I'd thought so, but. Since I'm a popular guy... Hahaha!! Nanami: You idiotic Devil!! Let me talk to the end!! Sword: Wh... why... Nanami: The ones having a date are Shekil-san and my friend!! We're just going along!! Sword: Wha... With Shekil!? --- Page 008 Sign: Teacher trainee preparation room. Bazil: Oh, is Sword starting to move... Deel: Yeah. He seems to be going to some place called an amusement park with Angel Shekil. Bazil: With Angel Shekil...? Then he might have some information on the fragments of Satan-sama's soul... Galam: Let me go!! Galam: I have to repay my grudge for this left arm!! --- Page 009 Fennel: That's your own fault!! Wounded people should be quiet and obedient!! Galam: What!! Bazil: Heh... Anyway, thanks to you, Galam, there's something we know... Bazil: That we must not let him have the fragments... Bazil: So, what we must do... is to collect the fragments before Sword does. So, I've taken care of something interesting from Satan-sama. Bazil: Deel, if you watch Sword, take it with you. It might be useful. Deel: Hehe, thanks!! --- Page 010 Sword: Ooh!! Is this an amusement park...!! Shekil: I can't understand, the feelings of humans coming to a place like this... Sword: Hmfh! Sword: Don't say anything, bastard! You accepted the date so easily!! Shekil: That's because Ios-sama told me I shouldn't make women unhappy... --- Page 011 Sword: Whaaat!! Shekil: What's this... Nanami: Hey, hey, what are you doing, they've come! Shekil: They? Girls: Ooooh, Shekil-kun!! You came!! Shekil: She's not alone!? (Girls: Ooooh, Shekil-kuuun) (Sword: I... I can't believe it...) Nanami: When I told you, I didn't know it'd turn out like this... Girls: Nanami, thank you! You brought Shekil-kun!! Nanani: Uh.. oh, it's no problem. Girls: As expected, you came with Souma-kun, Nanami!! --- Page 012 Girls: He's your boyfriend, after all? Sword: Wh, what, me, with her...!? Nanami: That's right, don't say such weird thinggs!! Girls: Oh? Girls: Reaaally? Nanami: Don't say stupid things, let's go!! Girls: Aah, wait!! --- Page 013 Sword: Raooooooh! Wawhahahaha!! Devils: Hey... Aah... Devils: General of Wind!! We've found them, Sword & co!! Deel: Hmmmm? Devil: General!! What are you playing!?

Sword: Phew, what's with these girl's power... Shekil: Really, these humans... Sword: Hey, how long are you going to go along with this!! Shekil: I you have any complaints, you can go home!! I can't break their hearts!! Girls: Heyyy, hurry up and come you too, Shekil-kun!! Shekil: W, wait a minute... Sword: Huh, fucking wait!! --- Page 017 Sword: Heeey, I can't stand this!! Nanami: Stop, Sword!! What are you being irritated about!? Sword: I came along since I heard Satan's soul is here! And... Nanami: Ah, I see. I thought it was strange since you came along without protest!! Sword: Uh... Nanami: Really!! Always going on about those soul-fragments... Sword: They're the most important thing to me!! Nanami: But... Aren't friends good too, occasionally? Sword: ..... --- Page 018 Nanami: Eeeek!! Sword: !! Nanami: ..... --- Page 019 Sword: Oh... It might certainly not be bad... Nanami: I... I told you before, I don't mean anything like that... Sword: Now that you say it... Nanami: Wh, what!? Sword: You clung against me when you were controled by Galam, too... You really do like me... Nanami: You idiot!! Think a bit about a woman's feelings!! Sword: Ouch!! Sword: H, hey... what's the matter, I was just kidding... Nanami: Shut up!! Nanami: Really!! Since he doesn't have any delicacy at all... --- Page 020 Nanami: Huh? Nanami: Eeeeeeek!

Nanami: Could these two possibly be... Devils? Wind: Boss!! I got it!! Wind: Heey, red wind, that's not fair!! Deel: Ah... Um, well, there's one thing I forgot to tell you, but... --- Page 025 Deel: It's said that an avarge Devil will be swallowed up by Satan-sama's soul merely by touching it. Red wind: Y... You should've told me that earlier, boss!! Blue wind: Red wiiiind!! Red wind: Eeek, it's sucking me in.... Bo.... Bosss!! Deel: Well, to late to do anything about it now, maybe I should save him... Nanami: Wait a minute, you... what are you doing!! Deel: Ah, since you're in danger, you better hurry up and escape, oneechan! Nanami: Y... You're the one who should run! Those are real monsters!!

I don't really understand, but... Sword: This means one the fragment of Satan's soul is here, right... Blue wind: B... Bossss. Deel: What? Blue wind: Are you going to rescue Red Wind... It seems things have become even worse than before... --- Page 029 Sword: Wh... what's this...!? Blue wind: It absorbed the things around and turned huge!! Deel: Can't handle this any longer... --- Page 030 Blue wind: It's aiming something at us!! Deel: Heey, Red wind, are you going to kill us!? Red wind: Even if you say that, my body isn't listening to what I'm saying!! Deel: Watch out, oneechan. Nanami: Aaah!! That's the kid from before...!? Nanami: Please, sword!! Save it!!

Sword: What's this wind...!? Deel: I'm sorry, but I'll take Satan-sama's soul! Deel: With this Dark Ovoid!! Sword: Wha!? Deel: Are you surprised!? Not only the Devilspawn can absorb Satan-sama's soul!! --- Page 037 Deel: From now on, it will be a contest of who collects Satan-sama's soul first!! Deel: Go, Red wind, Blue wind!! Sword: W, wait, bitch!! Deel: See ya!! Sword: You bastards!! You fucking forget I saved you! Return the soul-fragment!! Shekil: Really, you truly are a dimwit... If you let a Devil like that take the soul-fragment... Sword: Shut up!! Where've you been fucking hiding until now anyway, bastard!? --- Page 038 Shekil: What can I do, in a situation like this!? (Girls: Eeek, Shekul-kun, I'm scaaaared) Girl: That was a great attraction, wasn't it!! Sword: Attraction, you say... Girl: It was so intense!! Nanami: S, Sword... Sword: What is it!! Nanami: Um...

I'll make sure to get it back!! --Chapter 3------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 039 Text: Devil and Angel, partners!? DEVIL & DEVIL Text: Chapter 3, The Town with Disappearing Water. --- Page 040 Sword: Shiiit!! Sword: Just as I was about to obtain the second soul-fragment...!! Sword: Having it snatched away by a brat like that... My ambitions to become a Devil again...!! Ios: Please calm down a little, Sword. Sword: Who's not calm!! Ios: But... The Four Generals of Hell have completed a replica of the Devilspawn, and begun to collect the fragments of Satan's soul... This'll be a problem. Sword: Hmph... --- Page 041 Sword: Don't make fun of me!! I won't let those guys take the soul-fragments as they please!! Shekil: Even though you don't know where the fragments are? Shekil: I'm reluctant, but... I can lend you a hand. Sword: Be silent, you damn Angel!! Shekil: Ow! Sword: What the fuck are you saying!! You were totally useless last time, asshole!! (Shekil: I'll kill you later...) Shekil: Bastard... Can you still say that after having seen this...? Sword: What? --- Page 042 Ios: That's...!! What you're hold is the holy tool said to point to the item you desire... Ios: The "Oracle Compass"!! Sword: Oracle Compass? What's that!? Shekil: You're so ignorant... To put it simply, it's like a detector. Shekil: It's said that in the last great war, it pointed out the location of Satan's army's headquarter, and guided us to victory. If you hold this and desire the location of Satan's soul, it should guide you there. Sword: I see. I don't really understand, but... --- Page 043 Sword: You're saying that if I have this, I can collect the fragments before those guys!! Sword: Ooh! It's reacting immediately!! Sword: Alright, let's go right away!! Ios: Wait a minute... That would be bad! Sword: Why's that, Ios...? Ios: I'm sure we had a test this afternoon, so... Sword: You fucking idiot!! Which is the most important, atest or the soul-fragments!? Ios: But... Sword: Hey, let me lose, I'll go alone if I have to!! Shekil: As expected, Ios-sama speaks diligently!! Ios: Anyway, we'll take the test, and then... Shekil: Ios-sama!? --- Page 044 Kanna: I put the hindrance to sleep. Now, shall we go... Ios+Shekil: Kanna!? Shekil: You asshole, bring Ios-sama back!! Kanna: You're noisy, shut up!! Kanna: Let's go, Sword!! Sword: Wait a minute!! Why do I have to go together with you, bastard... --- Page 045 Kanna: If you don't wanna go, that's no problem... Sword: When did you...!? Sword: Give it back, you asshole!! Deel: Hehe, I heard you. Allllright, I'll snatch away the fragment of Satan's soul today as well!! Deel: If I act now, maybe I'll become the top of the four generals...!! Fennel: Don't say that!! Fennel: This time, I'll go!! Deel: Fennel!! --- Page 046 Kanna: Sword, is it really here? This is a big rural town. Sword: I... I don't know. Kanna: Did you imagine the soul-fragment properly? Sword: I did!! But this thing's just been spinning around since a while ago, so I can't point anywhere!! Kanna: Seems like it won't work when you're too close... Sword: Work, goddammit!! Sword: Gaah!! You worthless thing!! Kanna: No, maybe not... Don't you feel it? --- Page 047 Sword: This is... The surge of Satan's soul... Somewhere close by...!? Sword: Let's go!! Sword: Kanna... I'm telling you, you mustn't get in my way!! Kanna: Heh... Sword: Found it!! Sign: Danger! --- Page 048 Sword: Bastard, are you the one with the fragment!! Sword: Get ready!! Sword: Huh? Sword: Eeek!! A, a cross!? Why does a Devil have something like this!? Mizuno: I thought it was a demon, but if isn't it Sword-san! --- Page 049 Sword: Mi... Mizuno!? Sword: Why...? Mizuno: What are you doing at a place like this? Sword: That's my question!! When I thought we'd found that damn framgent... Sword: Why were you misleading us like this, bitch!? Sword: Eeek!! Mizuno: Who's misleading!?! I'm here with work!! Sword: Work...? Kanna: ? --- Page 050 Mayor: Mizuno-san, how was it... Did find something at the water-tank? Mizuno: Mayor-san... As expected, there's something evil in this town. Unfortunately, it managed to escape, but... Sword: Hey, is that true, what you just said!? There's something here!? Mizuno: Yes. Sword: Hehehe... I see, Satan's soul really is here! No mistake!! Sword: Alright, I'll absolutely get it!! Mayor: Uh... Mayor: Mizuno-san... That's not the answer I wanted. --- Page 051 Mayor: Right now, this town is suffering from a water-shortage, the cause of which is unknown. But the problem is the citizens complaining about having seen a monster at the water-tank... Mayor: Therefore, I called you. Mizuno: So I can exterminate... Mayor: No!! What you must do is to prove that there's no monster or anything. Mayor: If you do that, the rumors are sure to disappear... If the citizens just calm down, it's fine. Sword: Wait a minute, what about the mosnter!? Mayor: Don't say such idiocy... There's no such thing as monsters. Sword: What did you say, you old fart!! Kanna: Idiot... --- Page 052 Sword: What if I can show you proof right here!? Mizuno: Please calm down, Sword-san. Kanna: I can't stay with those... Girl: ...? Oniichan...? Who are you? Kanna: What... Are you a daughter of this house...? This is not a time for children to be up. Girl: I, I'm sorry. But, I'm very thirsty... Kanna: Did you catch a cold...? Girl: No, I didn't... but, my body is hot... I'm very thirsty... --- Page 053 Kanna: Just wait a little... Girl: Oniichan... That pendant... Kanna: ...!? This, is it yours? Girl: Thank you. This is my treasure I got from father. Mayor: Miyuki! What are you doing here!! Mayor: Aren't you supposed to be sleeping in your room!? Miyuki: Father... Sword: Heey, who's the brat? Mayor: It's no business of yours, so hurry up and get out of here!! Sword: Y... you!! --- Page 054 Sword: That old fart makes me sick!! If he's like that, I'll find that monster for sure!! Sword: And then... after collecting the soul-fragment, I'll bring him it's head!! Sword: Mizuno, did you really say that the monster will appear!? Mizuno: Y, yes... Mizuno: That monster is laying waste to the water reservoir and the water-tank. Mizuno: And, this is the last tank keeping water for this town. If the monster seeks water, it's sure to appear here! --- Page 055 Kanna: Be quiet. It seems to have appeared... Kanna: !! Sword: What, you must be mistaken. That's the brat from before... Sword: What're you doing? Kanna: Be silent and watch. --- Page 056 Sword: Wh... the water, she's...!? Mizuno: No way... then, that child!? Sword: No way... That brat has the fragment of Satan's soul!? --Chapter 4------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 057 Text: Devil and Angel, partners!? DEVIL & DEVIL Text: Chapter 4, Father and Daughter. --- Page 058 Sword: No mistake! That brat has the soul-fragment!! Miyuki: Aaaah! Sword: Wh... what, that steam... the water she's drunk is evaporating!? --- Page 059 Miyuki: Kyeeeeeh! Miyuki: Cheh!! --- Page 060 Sword: Hehe... The fragment's power is impressive!! But, it's not awake yet. Sword: I understand why you were gathering water now, bitch... When the soul-fragment begins to awaken, it causes a strong heat to break out... Sword: To cool down in order for the body not to be destroyed by the heat, a human that has it would have to drink a lot of water!! --- Page 061 Miyuki: Kyeeeh! Sword: I'll tell you, I won't go lightly on you just because you're a brat!! Sword: If it's to obtain the soul-fragment!1 Sword: Huh!? Mizuno: Sword-san, look out!! --- Page 062 Sword: !! Sword: Ka... Kanna? Miyuki: Grrrr! Kanna: ... don't think badly of me! --- Page 063 Miyuki: Uh... Sword: Hey, did you really kill her!? Kanna: Idiot! I just struck her unconscious... Sword: If Satan's soul awakens completely, it might not be that simple... Kanna: Hey, you there... How long are you going to stay hidden? Sword: Bastard... you're this brat's father...!? Mizuno: Mayor-san!? Kanna: You knew, didn't you, about this girl... --- Page 064 Mayor: That child has always has a weak constitution, and almost never been able to go out... I lost my wife early, but I thought that at least that child could get well. Mayor: At that time, I found that pendant at an antique-store... Mayor: For some reason, I was very charmed by that pendant... I bought it to give to my daughter. (Miyuki: Fatheeer!) Mayor: Then, that previously weak child became unbeliavably healthy. Mayor: However... Soon after that, the rumors of a monster at the water reservoir started... --- Page 065 Mayor: I thought I'd take away the pendant... but when I saw how healthy my child was... Mizuno: So, you told me to say there was no monster... Sword: Satan's soul was waiting. For a human like you to come and do something! ...really, that's so fucking petty... Sword: This is your duty. Give up! Mayor: But... what will become of that child!? Sword: The pendant is already fused with that brat's body. It's impossible to remove it. Then, the body will be eaten by the soul-fragment... After that, it's over. Mayor: Sh... she'll die...? Kanna: ... --- Page 066 Miyuki: ...who...? Miyuki: Ah.... The oniichan who found the pendant for me... Kanna: ... sorry. Miyuki: ...? Why are you apologizing? Miyuki: Hey, oniichan... Miyuki: Am I going to... die? --- Page 067 Kanna: You... will it really be fine for that stupid father to become alone? Miyuki: ...... Miyuki: (*shake* *shake*) Kanna: Then it's OK. It's still to early to give up... Miyuki: Oniichan... When we first met, I thought you were a scary person, but... You're a kind oniichan... Kanna: G, go to sleep already and stop saying such stupid things!! Miyuki: OK. Sword: Hehe... Sword: I didn't know... that you liked children... --- Page 068 Kanna: What do you want? Sword: Even if I obtain the soul-fragment, I don't know what will happen to that brat!! Sword: But... since it'd be bad if it awoke now, I came with some good news... Sword: That's... Kanna: What!? Sword: Shit!! --- Page 069 Sword: It's already begun to fucking awake!! Miyuki: O... oniichan... Kanna: Ngh... --- Page 070 Sword: Can't be helped!! Sword: Kanna, listen carefully! There's only one chance!! Sword: Only the moment that brat is swallowed in can the soul-fragment be separated from the body!! Sword: You have to do it in one blow!! Don't fail!! --- Page 071 Sword: Majin Rekkousatsu!! Kanna: HAAAAAAH! Miyuki: O...nii...chan...? --- Page 072 Mayor: What was that sound!? Miyuki...!! Mayor: N, no... it can't be, because of that pendant...!? Aaah, it's my fault... If I had taken it away...!! Kanna: Hey... Don't kill your own daughter off on your own. Mayor: Huh... --- Page 073 Miyuki: ... I can't let you become alone, father. Mayor: Miyuki... Mayor: I'm so glad!! If something had happened to you, I'd... I'd... Miyuki: That hurts, father... Miyuki: Oniichan, oneechan, byebyeee!! Sword: Heh... The brat seems to have been cured by Satan's soul. --- Page 074 Kanna: Heh... Sword, I didn't expect you, a Devil, to care about a child... Sword: Feh... I only did it to obtain Satan's soul!! Kanna: What, you definitely got a blue face when you heard the brat was dead, bastard!! Sword: Dunno about that. Mizuno: ... Mizuno: Please stop you two. That's indeceeent!! Text: Meanwhile, at the school... Deel: Get out of the way, Fennel!! I have to find Sword!! Fennel: What, Deel, can't you leave it to me this time!! Text: the quarrel between the two of the Four Generals had continued... --Chapter 5------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 075 Text: Chapter 5, Love Letter --- Page 076 Bazil: Are you the one who holds Satan-sama's soul... Bazil: I'll take it back... --- Page 077 Bazil: Satan-sama's soul... it is beyond you. --- Page 078 Bazil: I see... Sword got the second fragment. Bazil: And... You kept arguing the whole time... Fennel: It doesn't matter... Didn't you get the third fragment meanwhile, Bazil? Deel: That's right! Now, we have four! We're in the lead... Fennel: Don't get upset. We just have to defeat him and take them back. Bazil: It won't be so easy. He's become much stronger than expected. --- Page 079 Fennel: Wait a minute, Bazil, you can't be saying we'll lose or something!? Bazil: I'm not saying that... Bazil: However, since he really did beat Galam... Galam: Ngh... Fennel: Feh, I don't want to be compared with Galam!! Fennel: I, Fennel Cardi, Demon Lord of Fire, one of the Four Generals of Hell, won't lose to someone like Sword!! --- Page 080 Sword: *yaaawn*, at last today is over... Really, this studying stuff makes my head hurt. Sword: I wanna go home and sleep right away... Nanami: You can't, Sword!! Nanami: Since you skipped the exam the other day, you have to take a make-up now!! Sword: What, make-up, don't make fun of me, why'd I have to do something like that... Nanami: Wha... Nanami: Since Kanna-kun & co's results are usually good, they were excused, but if you don't do it you'll be held back a year! Sword: Shut up, I didn't know about that!! Sword: Hm? --- Page 081 Sword: What's this? Sword: What... I'll be waiting next to the campus club-house after school? Nanami: Huh? Nanami: Let me see that! No way, it can't be a loveletter... Sword: Loveletter? What's that... Ios: A loveletter something you use to tell your feelings to the one you love. Sword: Oooh, meaning there's some woman with feelings for me? Nanami: W... wait a minute! What are you thinking!? Sword: That should settle it, then... Nanami: C, cut it out with that weird face!! Sword: What... Can it be that you're jealous? --- Page 082 Sword: Uh. Nanami: Stop kidding! Who'd be jealous for your sake!! Sword: Then go home already. I'm looking forward to this. Ios: Na... Nanami-san... Nanami: Sword, you idiot... Nanami: Don't get excited! Sword: Huh...!? What's this... No way... Sword: Uhn... ngh... Nanami: Hehe, that's right! The glasses that switch places between you and Souma!! --- Page 083 Souma: ... Na, Nanami... -chan? Ios: Souma-kun!! Nanami: Allright, Souma, you'll take the make-up and march straight to home, understood!? Souma: Huh...!? Souma: B, but somebody went to the trouble of sending that letter... Nanami: Understood, Souma!? Souma: Y, yees!! Nanami: Good!! Souma: Wh, why do you have to be like that... Even though we haven't met in so long!! --- Page 084 Souma: I... I'm exhausted... I nver thought it'd be a make-up of the entire subject. Souma: Why was she like that, even though I hadn't done anything wrong... Sword, I'm asking you, please study properly. Souma: Uuh!! Souma: Uh... I'm not getting anywhere... Souma: ..!! That's... --- Page 085 Nanami: Allright, you'll take the make-up and march straight to home, understood!? Souma: If I don't march straight to home, Nanami-chan will get mad. Nanami: Souma, you broke your promise!! Souma: Eeek!! Souma: But, this is just bad luck... If she'd be at least a little nice... Souma: Yes, I, too, should have the right to become happy!! Souma: ...? There's nobody here...! Souma: Maybe this letter is a prank... --- Page 086 Souma: Th... that's so cruel! Does somebody have a grudge against me!? Fennel: Hehe... you finally came... I've been waiting. Souma: Th, the gods haven't forsaken me yet!! Souma: Uh... Souma: Eeeeek owoww! It should be a love-confession, why fire...!? Fennel: Does my confession not please you? Souma: !! --- Page 087 Fennel: My name is Fennel Cardi!! Sword, I'll take your life!! Sword: M, maybe I have been forsaken by the gods... --- Page 088 Fennel: Get ready!! Souma: Wait a minute!! Sword: I, I'm not Sword!! Fennel: What are you saying? Fennel: Hm... maybe you're the human sharing a body with Sword...? Souma: Yes!! That's right!! So, you'll have to save the fight for the next time... --- Page 089 Fennel: Then, hurry up and change to Sword!! Fennel: I see... You're not going to change... You're brave for a human. Souma: Wait, you're mistaken!! Fennel: Then, I'll make you want to change!! Fennel: Sword of Gehenna, answer the call of my voice and bring the fires of Hell!! --- Page 091 Fennel: How's this, now you have nowhere to run!! Souma: L, lavaaa!? Why'd the campus become like this!? Souma: If I fall, I'll die... won't i? --- Page 092 Fennel: If you don't want to die, bring Sword!! Souma: Didn't I tell you I can't!? Souma: Uh, Souma: This... can't be happening... --Chapter 6------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 093 Text: Chapter 6, Strong Weapon. --- Page 094 Souma: This can't be happening... Fennel: So, if you don't want to die, send out Sword!! Souma: Waaah! Fennel: !! --- Page 095 Fennel: Wh, whaat!? Fennel: That's ... the Uraankokumatoujutsu!? --- Page 096 Souma: *huff* *huff* I thought I'd die. Fennel: The Uraankokumatoujutsu... I've heard rumours of it, but... I'd never thought a human like you really could use it! Fennel: But... This means I don't have to go easy on you, despite you being a human! Nanami: Take the make-up exam and march straight home!! --- Page 097 Nanami: Whaaat!! That damn Souma still hasn't returned? Father: That's right, even though it's already 10 o'clock... Nanami, don't you know anything!? Nanami: ... Letter: To Amano Souma-san. I'll waiting behind the clubhouse after school. Nanami: Hmmm, is that how it is! Father: Na... Nanami-chan...? Nanami: He sure has some guts! Breaking his promise with me, and unconcernedly going to meet whomever wrote the letter... Nanami: This is unforgivable!! Father: S... scary... --- Page 098 Fennel: In the name of Fennel Cardi, demon lord of fire, I'll kill you!! Fennel: And then, I'll take back the Devilspawn; get ready!! Souma: H... hey, wait a minute... Souma: I don't want to fight you... --- Page 099 Fennel: You're pathetic to plead for your life after coming this far! Fennel: Aren't you a man!! --- Page 100 Souma: Uuh... Fennel: Heh... You're tough just because you share a body with Sword. Fennel: Now, the true battle begins!! Fennel: I've told you, even if I you don't want to fight, I'll kill you, or... Do you want to die so badly!? Souma: N... No I don't, I don't want to die!! Souma: But... um... You're, um... a girl... can't we talk this over... --- Page 101 Souma: And... Souma: I don't think a girl should do such things.... Fennel: How can you say that when you're about to be killed!? I'm first and foremost a Devil!! Man or woman doesn't matter!! Souma: B... but... Fennel: Is this what a human is? I can't understand it. Nanami: Souma!! --- Page 102 Souma: Na, Nanami-chan!! Nanami: Souma, you... Nanami: You really did break your promise, and went to see the person who sent the letter!! Souma: Huh? Nanami: You jerk, you're just badly influenced by Sword!! Souma: Calm down a little. This person is a Devil, and just now, I... Souma: 'm about to be killed, but... --- Page 103 Nanami: Eek! Souma: S... stop, please don't hurt Nanami-chan!! Fennel: Heh... Now that this woman's come, you'll fight... Sword: I don't know why, but... There's no need for that, is there. Fennel: Are you saing you won't fight even if she dies!? Sword: Ngh... --- Page 104 Souma: Shiiit, I don't want to do this!! Fennel: Heh, think you can still win!? I'll show you the power of one of the four generals!! Fennel: Bakuen Shouheki!! Souma: Wha!? --- Page 105 Souma: No way... She stopped it so easily... Souma: Anything's fine, just come forth!! Souma: Wh, what's this? Fennel: Keep making fun of me, will you!! Then... Fennel: I'll kill you in an instant!! --- Page 106 Fennel: How long can you resist with that thing, I wonder!? Nanami: Souma!! Souma: A stronger... A stronger weapon!! Fennel: !! --- Page 107 Souma: Waaaaah! --- Page 108 Souma: Wh, what was that... strong... big...!? --Chapter 7------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 109 Text: Chapter 7, Confrontation. --- Page 110 Fennel: This huge blade... Is this the power of Satan-sama's soul...!? --- Page 111 Souma: But, I can't handle something this big... Nanami: Souma!! Nanami: You idiot!! The school... Souma: You don't have to say that!! Fennel: Wha!? Fennel: No way, is he going to crush me like this...!? --- Page 112 Souma: I... I can't believe it... could I... have won? Souma: !! --- Page 113 Fennel: Don't make fun of me!! --- Page 114 Souma: N, no way... Fennel: But, you surprised me a bit! I didn't think a human could damage me... Fennel: You've made me serious... Prepare yourself!! Souma: Run, Nanami-chan!! Nanami: Idiot! I can't do that!! --- Page 115 Fennel: Dieee, Human Amano Souma!! Nanami: Eeeeek! Fennel: What!? --- Page 116 Sword: Die, you say!? Who are you fucking saying that to... Fennel: S... Swooord!! Nanami: I should've done that in the first place... Sword: Feh, stupid... Couldn't you have realized that a bit sooner! --- Page 117 Fennel: Feh!! Fennel: Perfect, I'll both you and the human!! Sword: Cut it out... After the fight with Souma, you no longer have the power to fight me. Fennel: Don't say that until you've defeated me!! Sword: ...idiot! Sword: !! --- Page 118 Sword: Wha!? Fennel: That's... The spear of water, Masousuisen!? Fennel: No way... Bazil: That's enough. We don't need to settle things with Sword yet... Sword: Bazil!! --- Page 119 Sword: Hehe... The full force of the Four Generals of Hell, eh... Are you the commander, asshole!? Bazil: My name is Bazil Hornet. Remember that I control the Four Generals. Fennel: Ngh... Bazil: It seems Fennel has been impolite to you... Accept my apologies. Sword: Heh. Nanami: S... Sword... Sword: We'll fight in the end anyway... It's just a matter of sooner or later. --- Page 120 Sword: Perfect!! We'll settle this here and now!! Sword: Secrets of the Ankokumatoujutsu, Majin Rekkousatsu!!! Bazil: ... it's no use... --- Page 121 Sword: What's with this water!? It fucking cut off my Rekkousatsu!! Bazil: I'm the Demon Lord of Water... There is nothing I cannot cut off with the flow of water!! Bazil: Step back, Sword!! --- Page 122 Bazil: Maha Souranbu!!! Sword: Gwaah! --- Page 123 Sword: No... way... even though... I powered up!! Nanami: Sword!! Sword: Ngh... Sword: Sh... shut up, step back, Nanami... Bazil: It would be simple to kill you here and now... but, I find battles where the outcome is certain unesthetic. Galam: Esthetic... Are you still saying such things? Galam: No way... You can't be planning to betray Satan-sama? Bazil: ...... --- Page 124 Bazil: Heh... Don't be silly... Fennel: But if you keep that up, we won't reach a conclusion. Bazil: Listen closely. We currently have four of the fragments... Bazil: And, we already know where four more are. Together with the two you have, that's a total of ten... --- Page 125 Bazil: With three more, all thirten fragments will be complete. Bazil: You should collect those three fragments before your friends die. Nanami: !! Bazil: Tomorrow at sunrise, this school will become a battlefield!! Bazil: If you're too late in collecting the fragments, we'll take your friends, and all the pupils in the school will lose their lives. Sword: Y, you asshole... You're going to involve others...!? --- Page 126 Bazil: That way, you'll have some motivation, right...? Sword, collect the remaining three fragments, and get the power you need to fight me!! Nanami: Sword... Bazil: And, to survive, you'll have to get all the fragments!!! --Chapter 8------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 127 Text: Chapter 8, Surprise Attack. --- Page 128 Sword: All right, we're all here!! Sword: Listen well, assholes!! If you don't want to die, come to school for a while obediently. Gang: Huh? Nanami: You called us here without warning in the middle of the night to say that!? Sword: Just do as you're told!! Ios: Sword, are you going to fight the Four Generals alone...? --- Page 129 Ios: I heard from Nanami-san that you fought with the Four Generals... That the thirteen fragments will be complete with three more... and... Ios: Also that until you have them all, they'll make the school a battlefield and kill everybody there... Gang: !! Ranfuu: Meaning that except for Sword, all the pupils of the school including us will be targeted? Sword: That's why I told you to do as I say!!! Sword: We'll take the remaining fragments later! I'll settle things with the Four Generals tomorrow!! --- Page 130 Ios: ...can you win, as things are now... Sword: What!? Ios: Against Bazil Hornet, Demon Lord of Water, who drove you off despite you having two fragments? Sword: Uh... Ios: Sword, please get the remaining fragments first. Meanwhile, we'll keep the four generals in check and protect the school. Ranfuu: Heh.... I don't like it, but it can't be helped. I can't just let the guys at school die... Garvera: That's right. Shekil: I disagree! Why'd you help such a Devil... Ios: Shekil... Shekil: Uh... no... it was nothing... --- Page 131 Sword: ...feh, you're all just idiots... Sword: But, I'll just tell you one thing. Sword: They're strong, so don't get upset at me even if you die!! Ios: Heh... As you wish. Shekil: Make sure you don't run away when you're off looking for the fragments. Sword: What did you say you bastard!! --- Page 132 Galam: Hehehe... About now, Sword should be off looking for the fragments... Galam: Be watching, Sword, until you return, your comrades will meet death!! Galam: Gwahahahaha! Deel: Galam is really energetic, isn't he... Fennel: Heh. Deel: Hmmm? What's the matter, Fennel... You don't seem very interested? Fennel: I'm only interested in Sword... Fennel: Anyway, where'd Bazil go? Deel: Hmmmm. --- Page 133 Deel: He said he'd go up to the roof before, but... Bazil: Satan-sama's soul, the remaining three... Devil: That is when Satan-sama will be ressurected, Bazil... Bazil: ...who? --- Page 134 Shadowface: My name is Shadow-Face!! I've been asked by Satan-sama to observe you Four Generals... Bazil: Observe, you say? Shadowface: Satan-sama's worried you still haven't returned with the soul-fragments... --- Page 135 Shadowface: Why are you... Bazil: Silence!! Bazil: There's no need to worry... Shadowface: ...then, why haven't you taken the fragments from Sword...? Bazil: We can't have a weak enemy. We follow the esthetics of battle... --- Page 136 Shadowface: Esthetics, eh, how interesting... Can I tell Satan-sama that? Bazil: We'll get the fragments our way. If there's a problem with that... Shadowface: Fine. Then I'll let you do as you please... Shadowface: Oh, right... Don't forget to deal with Sword's remaining comrades afterwards... Shadowface: Those who oppose Satan-sama must not live. --- Page 137 Galam: Ranfuu-kun, Ranfuu-kun! Galam: Please solve this problem. --- Page 138 Ranfuu: Hm? Ranfuu: Th, this guy's... a mud-doll...!? Ranfuu: Can it be...!? --- Page 138 Ranfuu: Gw...ah... --- Page 139 Galam: Hehehe. Ranfuu: Y... you... bastard... Ranfuu: *huff* *huff* Galam: Foolish human!! I could easily fool you just by erasing my demonic signs and taking human shape!! Galam: First things first... I'll take your soul!! Ranfuu: Gwaah!! --- Page 140 Garvera: Just now... A faint demonic sign.... Girls: Asou-saaan, if you don't hurry up and change, you'll be late for class. Garvera: Y, yes... Garvera: ! Garvera: You came... --- Page 141 Garvera: !! Garvera: Huh... a, a kid...!? --Chapter 9------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 143 Text: Devil and Angel, partners!? DEVIL & DEVIL Text: Chapter 9, Accident. --- Page 144 Garvera: A, A kid...!? Garvera: Where'd you enter from? This place is dangerous, so get away... Deel: Hehe... Can't do that. I have business with you, Punishing Devil Garvera. Deel: Maryuu Reppouran!! --- Page 145 Garvera: Wha...!? Deel: Oh, you defended well when I went easy on you. Then maybe we can play a bit!? Garvera: That technique... A whirlwind cut? You can do that... Can it be...!? Deel: That's right!! I'm the Demon Lord of Wind, Deel Faust!!! --- Page 146 Galam: Hm... Seems like Deel's started moving as well. Galam: That leaves Angel Ios, doesn't it... There's a barrier stretched around us, so he hasn't noticed yet. Galam: Wh, what!? Shadowface: My name is Shadowface!! I have come here on Satan-sama's orders. --- Page 147 Shadowface: Galam, as things are, even if you fight, you cannot beat Ios... or Sword. Actually, he already hurt you once. Galam: That was just because I was unprepared!! Next time, I'll surely kill him!! Shadowface: Satan-sama desires certain victory. Shadowface: So, I thought I'd tell you something interesting... How about that? --- Page 148 Garvera: Haaaaaaah! Deel: Whoop! Deel: How disappointing!! I could see that attack miles away. I guess you need another break!! Garvera: Don't make fun of me! Why are you just avoiding and not attacking!? Deel: Eeh!? If I did that, wouldn't it'd be over too soon!? Deel: Hm? --- Page 149 Deel: Huh!? Deel: Waah... Wooow!! Garvera: Idiot!! That worked even against a kid!! Deel: Shit!! --- Page 150 Garvera: I, I can't move my feet... What's this!? Galam: What are you playing games about, Deel... Deel: Galam!! Why'd you come here!? Don't get in the way of my fight!! Galam: Is this a fight...!? Isn't it just playing games!! Deel: She's my target, so get away!! --- Page 151 Deel: Huh!? Garvera: Wha...!? --- Page 152 Deel: Galam... What the hell are you doing... Galam: Heheheh. Galam: Gwahahaha!! I'm sorry, Deel, but you had to die for my sake!! Garvera: What the hell are you... Galam: Ooh, you're still around... Don't worry, I'll take your soul as well!! --- Page 153 Sword: The oracle compass is reacting. The soul-fragment is close!! Sword: Or it should be, but... Sword: What, here!? Isn't this the Yakumi Onsen!! Mizuno: This is where the Devilspawn was resting... It's like drawn to a lighthouse. Sword: Th, that voice!? --- Page 154 Mizuno: Hiii. Nanami: Hehe... We've been waiting... you came. Sword: ... Sword: What the hell are you bitches thinking!? Didn't I tell you to wait at home because it's dangerous!! Mizuno: Now, now, we had to come. Sword: You shut up!! I'm sure you just went here, didn't you!? Gramps: Hoh hoh hoh!! You're very lively, aren't you. Sword: Mizuno's gramps!! --- Page 155 Gramps: For you to visit here again... It must be about those three fragments... Sword: Three, you say!? All the remaining three are here!? Gramps: That's right. They're sealed where you obtained the Devilspawn!! Sword: Wh... what did you sayyy!? Sword: Why didn't you say so at the time!? Then I wouldn't have had to go to all this trouble... Nanami: Sword!? Gramps: I couldn't give something so dangerous to you at the time. But... Now, I think it's fine. --- Page 156 Gramps: Devil Sword, I entrust this to you. Sword: Heh... Just like back then. Nanami: Hey, Sword... Nanami: I wonder if everyone's OK... if they're wounded or something!? --- Page 157 Sword: Who knows, I have no idea. Nanami: Sword, your personality is just too bad!! Nanami: A little... Sword: That's where it is... Stop hiding and come out!! Sword: If you don't come out on your own... Sword: I'll make you!! --- Page 158 Fennel: Hehe... I've been waiting, Sword!! Sword: Fennel...!! Feh... seems like I won't get the fragments easily!!! --Chapter 10------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 159 Text: Chapter 10, Fennel. --- Page 160 Fennel: I've been waiting for you, Sword! And you, human Amano Souma!! Sword: Souma...? Heh, is that so? Nanami: What does she mean, Sword? Sword: That the one Fennel's waiting for... --- Page 161 Sword: is the human Amano Souma! Nanami: Uuh, the sealing glasses!! When'd you get those! Fennel: Hehe... You got it. Fennel: That's right!! I came here to settle matters with the human who hurt my pride!! Fennel: At the time, I went easy on my opponent thinking he was human, but today will be different!! --- Page 162 Fennel: I'll settle matters with that human as a single warrior!! Sword: As a warrior, eh...Is that why you've followed us this far? Fennel: The others are at school... Here, there won't be any interruptions. Sword: I like that!! You'll get what you want!!! Nanami: But... Souma will die!! Nanami. Huh... Sword: Don't worry... He can't lose! --- Page 163 Nanami: So... Souma!!! --- Page 164 Nanami: Souma, hurry and take the glasses off!! Only the person who put them on can do that!! Souma: Don't worry, Nanami-chan... I'm not going to lose. Souma: With Sword-san soon getting the fragment... yeah... With everybody waiting at the school, he entrusted it to me. Souma: I still have the same feelings of wanting to run in fear as before, but... Souma: But I can't betray Sword-san's trust!! --- Page 165 Fennel: Hehe... You've finally appeared, human... Fennel: Today, I'll be serious right from the start... I'll finish the match in one blow!! Fennel: My strongest technique!! Souma: Mizuno-san, take care of Nanami...!! Mizuno: Y, yes!! Fennel: Sword of Gehenna... In this blade dwells the fiery wings of Hell!! Fennel: Scorch all life with that hellfire!! --- Page 166 Fennel: Hissatsu Gouka Houou-ken!!! {certain-kill hellfire phoenix blade} Souma: But... This time, I should be able to....!! Nanami: Souma!! --- Page 167 Souma: For I'm... the successor of the Uraankokumatoujutsu!!! Fennel: You can't defeat me with only defense!! --- Page 168 Fennel: But, are you trying to take me by surprise!? Fennel: Bakuen Shouheki!! {Flame-blast Barrier} Fennel: Such a technique is no use against me!! Die, human Amano Souma!!! Nanami: Souma!! --- Page 169 Fennel: Wha...!? --- Page 170 Nanami: ... Fennel: Wh, what... a third weapon at the same time!? Where'd you get such power... Souma: The Uraankokumatoujutsu is a technique embodying one's soul... Souma: And inside me is Sword-san's soul... and three fragments of Satan's soul. Fennel: You're saying you used all of those...? If a human used such mental power... you'd destroy yourself!! Souma: I was so into defeating you I didn't think of that... --- Page 171 Souma: But... As I thought, I couldn't... kill a... girl... Nanami: So, Souma!! Fennel: So, that was the fight... Stupid human. You kept treating me like a woman until the very end...!! Nanami: S, stop!! --- Page 172 Nanami: Huh!? Nanami: Wh... why!? Fennel: If he'd pushed that blade out further, I'd be dead... I lost totally... Fennel: I can't believe I lost to a human, but... with this, it's obvious. Fennel: The rest... --- Page 173 Fennel: Sword, all that's left is for you to kill me!! Fennel: That human couldn't kill me. But, my pride will not let me live on after being defeated. Sword: I can't grant that request. Sword: Souma's the one that defeated you. Why would I kill an opponent that he let live? Fennel: Heh... So you're just like that human... You're really nice... Fennel: Fine, then... --- Page 174 Fennel: I'll have to do it like this!! --Chapter 11------------------------------------------------------ --- Page 175 Text: Chapter 11, Prayer. --- Page 176 Sword: Fennel... You... Why!? Fennel: Since you didn't kill me, I won't let you have what you desire... --- Page 177 Sword: The soul-fragment!! Why is it inside you!? Fennel: Bazil said... that he knew where four of the seven fragments not found yet where... Fennel: That's because they're our own bodies. I soon understood... He meant us... Sword: What do you mean...? Fennel: It's simple... --- Page 178 Fennel: We're fake existances created from the fragments of Satan's soul!!! Sword: ... that's why you... wanted me to kill you... Shadowface: You surprised me. I'd never have thought you had figured it out as well...!! --- Page 179 Shadowface: But... If you know, you speak too early. Would you hand me that fragment? Sword: Wh, who the hell are you!? Shadowface: I'm Shadowface. The observer of the four generals... Now then, Fennel, give it to me... Fennel: I don't know if you're an observer or whatever, but... --- Page 180 Fennel: I'm not giving my soul to someone like you!! Shadowface: Oy oy, what's the matter? Shadoface: The duty of the Four Generals is to collect the fragments. Even if it means your lives... Have you forgotten? Fennel: Silence!! This is... my last pride as a warrior!!! --- Page 181 Fennel: My soul belongs to the human Amano Souma, who defeated me in battle!! Sword: Fennel... Shadowface: Oh my, how unreasonable... quite unlike Galam. Shadowface: I told Galam as well. The truth... And, that with just one soul, he couldn't win over Ios. Shadowface: Obedient Galam should be taking Deel's soul about now. Fennel: Wh... what!? --- Page 182 Shadowface: And... now I'll get three fragments!! Mizuno: Ooh!! The fragments sealed in the cross!! Shadowface: Now then, go back to Galam!! --- Page 183 Sword: Wha... Nanami: Th... the fragments!! Shadowface: Now then, there's Fennel's fragment still here... Fennel: Uh... urr...!! Sword: Fennel!! Shadowface: Hmph... Fennel: Ng... gh.... --- Page 184 Fennel: Didn't I tell you...!! I... won't let you have this fragment!! Fennel: Take it... SWOOOOOOOOOOOORD!!! --- Page 185 Sword: Fennel, you... Fennel: I fought with my own will, and lost. I'm satisfied with that.... Fennel: But... Deel doesn't know anything... Fennel: I have no right to ask this of you, but... Take revenge for Deel... --- Page 186 Fennel: Please do it for me, Sword... Sword: ...Fennel... --- Page 187 Shadowface: Fool... Speaking so far despite given life by Satan-sama... Sword: I don't care who created her... She was certainly a true warrior. Sword: I won't let a bastard like you insult a warrior, I'll kill you!! Shadowface: Heh.... Do you have time for that? Shouldn't you better hurry back to school? Shadowface: How long can Angel Ios last against Galam, with five fragments? --- Page 188 Galam: Hehe... You've come? Garvera: That's...!! The fragments of Satan's soul!? Galam: There's one missing... Might Sword have gotten Fennel's fragment? Galam: Well, nevermind... Adding Deel's soul, it should be enough. Galam: Now, there's no longer a need to stay here... --- Page 189 Galam: With these five fragments, even Angel Ios should fear me!! Garvera: Uh... uuh... Ios: Wh, what's... This terrifying demonic power!? Ios: !! Ios: Someone's... taking the souls of all the students...!? --- Page 190 Galam: Hehehehe... The taste of human souls is so sweet!! Ios: Galam!? -----------------------------------------------------------------
