"I have a mock exam at cram school." "You're getting ready for college already?" "I've got to keep my parents happy, otherwise it affects my allowance." "What about you?" "I got nothing to do, so I guess I'll walk around the station and check out CDs." "Hmm, see ya." "Hey Kazumi, Sakai-kun's the one you like, right?" "Wh-Why?" "I've known you for a long time." "I can tell easily." "But..." "Um..." "Don't hide it." "If you're after Sakai-kun, I think we can help each other." "Eh?" ""Help"?" "Come on, Kazumi." "I don't think I can expect much help from her." "I guess I'll have to work on my own." "All right!" "Hello." "So... weren't you with Ike-kun today?" "Ah, he's at cram school today." "Why?" "Nothing, just that I see you two together all the time." "Not necessarily all the time, but..." "And I was wondering... if he had a girlfriend or not and..." "Well he doesn't, but..." "Really now." "I'm stopping by the station building, too, so..." "Gotcha, later." "Really..." "To that Ike, eh?" "Stop running." "Watch out!" "You're kidding..." "Wait..." "Wh-What's this?" "Okay, preparations complete." "There aren't that many people, but it's enough." "Let's have them." "Chow time, chow time!" "It's so delicious, so delicious." "Don't talk while you're eating." "Shame on you." "Yes, ma'am." "H-Hirai-san!" "Huh?" "What is this guy?" "I don't know, but he's not a Tomogara." "But he's moving inside the Fuzetsu." "He must be a Mystes." "Mystes?" "You mean a Torch with treasure in it?" "That's right, and it's a real special one." "We haven't had a good souvenir like this in a while." "Our master will be happy." "Yeah!" "We've done a good job!" "I caught you." "Time to eat." "Who is it?" "What is this girl?" "What do you think, Alastor?" "They're not Tomogara, just Rinne." "The pendant talked!" "How dare you cut my hand!" "Crush down!" "Don't!" "Looks like that's just a shell." "So the main body left at the last moment." "It could still be around." "Is this a Mystes?" "Yeah, and it seems like a unique one." "What?" "Why" "She cut me..." "I've been cut." "Flame hair and red-hot eyes..." "So you're the Flame Haze of Alastor, the Flame of Heaven. {ep1, changed it slightly} {Dei- modded}" "You tool of hunting." "That's who I am." "So what?" "My master won't take this quietly!" "{ep1, Dei- modded}" "You're right, he will be spouting his last words soon." "Why you..." "But now...  ...let me hear yours first." "So that's the main part." "Behind you!" "It got away." "From the way it was talking, sounds like someone strong is behind all of this." "We might be able to hunt the King of Guze in a while." "Putting all that aside..." "H-Help me." "It hurts..." "Please, call an ambulance." "Augh, shut up, shut up, shut up!" "Stop crying about being cut now." "How can you..." "I can only imagine what you were like when you were alive." "If you were human, you would have been dead the moment you received that wound." "If I was human?" "!" "I've got to stop it from bleeding..." "The blood!" "There isn't any." "What's going on?" "Is this a dream after all?" "The fire!" "The fire!" "Why?" "Okay." "Hirai-san!" "She's back." "Thank goodness." "That'll do for the Torches." "I'll use a few of them for fixing." "Yeah." "And they sure ate a lot." "Their master must be a real big eater." "Finished." "No one noticed what happened?" "!" "Hirai-san!" "Hirai-san!" "Wait!" "What?" "What is that?" "Hirai-san..." "How is this..." "Why?" "Could they be..." "Hey, wait a minute." "What was that all about?" "Where did that boy go?" "And inside Hirai-san and others there are" "Shut up already." "Alastor, should we dispose of this?" "No, we mustn't open Mystes carelessly." "I know, but this one is so noisy." "Just tell it the truth." "Then it should quiet down, too." "Stop talking me as an "it" and "this", like an object or something." "That's right, you're not a human!" "You're a thing. {ep1, Dei- modded}" "Those were Rinne,  slaves of a sort to Guze no Tomogara."

"Ah, shut up, shut up, shut up!" "You still have more questions?" "What are you?" "A human?" "I'm a Flame Haze." "Fla..." "What?" "Flame Haze."

"You haven't done anything wrong, Marian." "It just happened to be a stronger Flame Haze." "Rather, I want to praise you for finding a Mystes." "But I let it get away." "Please, let me hunt that Mystes down." "I'm grateful for your thoughts, Marian." "But there's no need for you to rush." "Think and act carefully." "We are facing the Flame of Heaven's Flame Haze." "Yes." "Look at the Haridan, Marian." "It's so beautiful." "Let us savor this moment." "Forget about the Flame Haze for now." "Yu-chan!" "Breakfast is ready!" "Sakai" "Yu-chan!" "Breakfast is ready!"

"How would Mom and Dad feel if they found out that I'm already dead?" "Oh, but it would be as if they'd never had a child." "It might be better to be treated like I'd never existed rather than making them sad." "Oh right, I already don't exist... the "real" Sakai Yuji, that is." "Yu-chan, is something wrong?" "No, it's nothing." "I have to go now." "The homeroom teacher is strict about tardiness." "I'm off." "See you, have a safe trip." "Then, what are all the things I'm worrying over now about?" "It's natural for the "real" Sakai Yuji to fall into despair or feel anxiety, but..." "But I'm..." "Why are you here?" "I figured it'd be more efficient keeping an eye on you rather than go looking for Guze no Tomogara,  since you're a really unique Torch." "I'm sure they'll come again." "Okay..." "Come to think of it, that Rinne from yesterday called me something like Mystes." "Hmm, good memory." "A Mystes is a Torch that carries Hougu and other powers made by Guze no Tomogara." "Hougu?" "They're like rare treasures." "When a Torch burns out, its contents are transported to a new Torch." "Simply put, it's a treasure chest that moves." "Why is it in me?" "I don't know." "Hougu move on their own." "The enemy will probably come to you before you burn out." ""Before burning out", eh..." "Hey, what do you think I am?" "You're a Torch and a Mystes." "But I'm thinking of everything as Sakai Yuji would." "Since you're his remainder, obviously." "I see..." "On a separate note there are too many Torches in this city." "It is unnatural." "What do you mean?" "Hirai-san." "The flame is small." "It must not have much time left." "But she only got attacked yesterday." "Then they must have eaten her more than others." "The Rinne from yesterday were gluttonous." "Hirai-san!" "Hirai-san!" "Good morning!" "Um, good morning." "Good morning." "This is Hirai-san?" "It is on its last day at best." "What?" "!" "Can't we fix her?" "It's impossible, since that's all that's left." "She's already dead." "That's... too cruel." "Hirai-san, we'll be late." "Let's run." "Come on, cheer up." "What's with that?" "It never asked to be fixed when the matter concerned itself." "Wearing someone else's shoes changes one's perspective." "I won't let Hirai-san disappear." "And I was like wondering... if he had girlfriend or not and..." "Hey, you're really late, Sakai." "Yosano Akiko Hey, you're really late, Sakai." "Family Tree of Literature" "Hey, you're really late, Sakai." "I'm sorry." "Sakai, one tardy." "Um, Hirai-san, too." "Oh right, you two came in together." "Whatever, take your seat." "What's wrong?" "It's rare for you." "Yeah." "No one's looking at Hirai-san." "Year 1 Class 2" "Hirai-san, what are you doing for lunch?" "Nothing really..." "Can she, Ike?" "Fine with me, but..." "Come on." "And see, that new teacher at cram school turned out to be Murata's older brother." "Ike, do you have cram school today?" "No, not today." "Then would you like to go to the station area after school along with Hirai-san?" "You've got time anyways, don't you?" "Well, yeah..." "Okay, it's decided." "Hirai-san, Ike said that he'd come, too." "Come on Ike, come closer." "Ready?" "It looks pretty good." "Maybe I was in the way a bit." "I'm sorry, Hirai-san." "Hey, you're..." "What should we do next?" "Crane catcher?" "Hirai-san, how about a fighting game with Ike?" "Ike, can you spend time with Hirai-san for a while?" "I'll be right back." "Hey, Sakai!" "You're bait, so stay in one place a bit more." "No matter how much you sympathize, that's just a Torch." "It's inevitable for it to disappear." "Only if everyone forgets about her!" "It's not worth the effort." "Even if it's not" "I've never seen a Torch that stupid before." "Indeed." "Ike, where's Hirai-san?" "Who's Hirai-san?" "Hirai-san, she was with us, right?" "Was she?" ""Was she?"" "Did Hirai-san disappear already?" "Oh yeah, she may have just left." "Are you sure?" "She left?" "Maybe." "Did I just beat the game?" "Ike, why are you so inconsiderate about this?" "Remember what happened!" "The three of us were here together." "Hirai-san was..." "Hirai-san was..." "Does Ike-kun have a girlfriend?" "Hey, Sakai, what's wrong with you?" "Are you all right?" "It's not Ike's fault." "This is what a Torch is." "What's gotten into him?" "Hirai-san, you haven't disappeared yet, have you?"

"But you didn't have to come all the way here." "And that's Hirai-san's seat." "I am Hirai Yukari." "I barged into the existence of Hirai Yukari." "B-Barged in?"

"Yoshida-san was close with Hirai-san, yet she doesn't notice the change at all." "Barging into an existence isn't anything like becoming another person." "It's to change others' mental understanding of Hirai Yukari to match mine." "How could..." "Hirai-san, thanks for the notes you lent me the other day." "No..." "I know who Hirai Yukari is..." "Morning, Shana." "Looks like that Flame Haze is staying with the Mystes." "Yes." "She must be waiting for us to show up for it." "A correct judgment." "Very correct." "I suppose we should show up for her." "I am interested in the Hougu inside that Mystes." "Then please let me go." "I cannot let my failure from the other day be. {ep3, Dei- modded}" "Okay." "But you are facing the Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed." "Take this with you." "Don't get too far from me." "I can do whatever I want." "Yukari-chan, do you want to walk home together?" "I have something I want to ask." "No." "I'm busy." "I see." "I'm sorry." "Yukari-chan's a little scary today." "Shana" "Sakai." "Can you tag along to the bookstore on the way back?" "Sure." "It's here." "Isn't this the one from the other day?" "It's a Fuzetsu." "Hold on, in school?" "Location has no meaning...  ...since you're here." "It's easily predictable." "Wait!" "Everyone's still around!" "The one who set the Fuzetsu up is the enemy." "Talk to them." "At this rate, everyone will be dragged into this." "I've got to do something." "It's my fault." "I'm sorry." "Ike!" "This is nothing." "Ike!" "Yoshida-san!" "Yoshida-san..." "Yoshida-san!" "The same Rinne from the other day." "What is the name of your master?" "You think..." "I would tell?" "No, just making sure." "But since he uses his useless pieces over and over, he must be a real idiot." "You..." "Good afternoon, little girl." "It is a perfect time for our meeting." "I can tell, he's the Guze no Tomogara." "Hmm, to fight against my favorite Hougu, Regular Sharp, this well with one sword. {ep3 with little change}" "Master, my apologies." "I'm the one who must apologize." "I'm sorry for having you carry a Hougu you're not used to." "Really, Flame Haze are so horrible." "You're the master?" "Indeed." "Friagne the Hunter." "This would be the first time we meet in person, would it not, Flame of Heaven, Alastor?" "Don't let his appearance fool you." "He has killed countless Flame Haze with his many Hougu." "He's a powerful King of Guze." "Yeah." "So that's who you contracted." "Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter." "I was always curious about your strength, but you disappoint me." "What did you say?" "Flame of Heaven, if your contractor is like that, all your power's going to waste, isn't it?" "You want to see if it's a waste?" "I've seen countless Flame Haze die going wild like you're about to." "I can't afford to get the Mystes caught up in this." "I'll visit again." "After all, this is my hunting ground." "I wonder what's inside." "I cannot wait to find out." "As we thought, he isn't an ordinary Tomogara." "A King of Guze." "And it's none other than the Hunter, Friagne." "Makes sense how he would go after the Mystes." "He said "hunting ground", didn't he?" "He must be the reason behind why there are so many Torches in this city." "If so, everything makes sense." "He's insane." "We've got to fix the places that were broken." "Move, I need to use her." "Use?" "I'm going to use her power of existence and fix the places that are broken." "Using Yoshida-san?" "Yes, since there aren't any half-eaten Torches, I have to use that half-dead girl." "Since it's a human, one half-dead body will be enough to fix everything." "There wouldn't be any problem if I made a Torch of her and replaced her, would there?" "Sure there is!" "It means that Yoshida-san will die like me, right?" "!" "We can't help it." "We need a source to fix everything." "I can use someone else, like him." "I can't decide that..." "Then, you want me to use you ?" "That'll do." "What?" "You were being fussy, and all of a sudden, you make a decision that easily?" "It's not easy at all." "Then why are you throwing away the time left to you?" "I'm not throwing it away." "I'm using it!" "What a weird... no awkward... no annoying..." "that's right, an annoying one!" "You used a lot without hesitation." "What else could I have done?" "It told me to." "I still left it enough." "I knew you'd be here." "What, I can't?" "I didn't say that." "How did you know we were here?" "I kind of felt you guys up here." "I see." "You would start to feel things after sitting through that." "What do you want?" "What do I want?" "Well, it's not very comfortable to have a girl sitting on my roof." "Why not come inside?" "Inside?" "I mean, you'll get wet." "Besides if you're going to keep an eye on me, I think it'd be better for you to be close to me." "I... suppose." "It didn't occur to you before?" "Is it that great of an idea to brag about?" "I'm not bragging." "I'll go in." "O-Okay." "Please do." "Go ahead and sleep there." "I'll sleep in my dad's study." "I came in to keep an eye on you, so why are you going to a different room?" "Eh?" "But..." "You brought up the idea." "Sleep here." "Wh-What are you doing?" "Changing." "Isn't it obvious?" "Ah, well... but..." "Some other place to..." "What are you being uneasy about?" "There's nothing for you to care" "Hide somewhere." "Hurry up." "Don't rush me like that." "Pajama- {ep 4}" "Don't peek!" "I wasn't!" "I was asking if you had pajamas or anything like that." "I don't." "I only have underwear." "Alastor uses fire to purify any filth off of me, so it's only changing for the sake of changing." "So that Hunter that came to school is the one that's creating all the Torches in this city?" "Yes, and excessively at that." "Usually, Tomogara do not eat this much in one city." "Although Torches are meant to maintain balance in the world, having too many of them does put the world out of balance." "But that could be what the Hunter is exactly after." "What he's after?" "The more Torches there are, the higher the likelihood of Mystes like you showing up." "He can lure out Flame Haze, like us." "It, indeed, is a hunting ground." "But he has too much latitude when he doesn't know what Flame Haze will show up." "True." "Going too far would be dangerous." "Although he is a great King to begin with..." "There could be something giving him confidence." "I'll find out when I fight him." "Then, since there's no school tomorrow, how about we go out of the city?" "I wouldn't want to see people getting dragged in again." "Sure." "But you'll have to come along." "Since you're the bait." "Yeah, I know." "Ow..." "I should've hit him at least ten more times." "I don't understand." "It's a Torch." "Well..." "What's there to be embarrassed about showing your skin before rocks and trees?" "You usually..." "I just didn't like it for some reason!" "So to you, that's a human, something you haven't interacted with for some time?" "It isn't a human." "It'll disappear soon enough." "It's just a Torch." "No one will notice, Marian." "Not even that Flame of Heaven." "But, Master." "We've had many Flame Haze come to this city recently." "Please be careful." "Do not worry, Marian." "Just a little more and the power for you will be ready." "I will not let them hinder us now." "Torches are lit so brightly." "When this plan succeeds, you will no longer be a tool called Rinne." "You will be an existence that lives in this world." "Master, you have been treating me well enough." "No, it is not enough yet." "You would disappear in less than three days if I were to stop providing power to you." "You are too transient an existence right now." "I feel that is an inseparable bond between us." "Ah, Marian." "What delightful words you speak." "But you see," "I want to complete this no matter what..." "The meaning behind coming all the way from Guze..." "My reason for seeking existence in this world..." "Since it was all for you, Marian." "I see." "The number of Torches here is abnormal." "This city stinks more than I heard about." "Yeah, it does smell, all right." "Your boozed breath, that is!" "Shut up, stupid Marco." "Hey, I even sense another Flame Haze here." "Yeah." "If we have one of us here already, do you want to step out?" "I never read that kind of a rule." "Whoever comes across it first gets to kill it." "That's all there is." "Damn right!" "Let's tear this apart then!" "My beloved goblet, Margery Daw!" "Of course." "Alastor." "It's another Flame Haze." "The crew has now passed the Yellow Band." "We are currently at the place said to be the toughest part of Mt." "Everest." "Currently" "It's no good..." "I can't possibly give Sakai-kun cookies yet." "I'll wait until I gather up some more courage." "I'm sure a day when I can say it to him will come." "Hurry!" "I know." "Give me a second." "You're the one who said you didn't want to fight here." "Alastor, did you see that?" "Its light." "What's inside that Mystes might be..." "I still haven't gotten used to this." "How I can see the light." "It feels like I'm peeking into people's lifespans." "They're pulsing like hearts, too." "Pulsing?" "What do you mean?" "What do I mean?" "You two can see it, too, right?" "How the light is wavering and expanding." "Alastor?" "No, I do not see it either." "What?" "But it's so clear." "You really are a strange Mystes." "I bet it's because of the Hougu inside." "It must be something very unique." "Although we can't be sure unless we open it and check." "But right now, what bothers me is the pulsing of the Torches you speak of." "What is it like from others?" "As far as I can see, they're all doing that." "Usually, they don't pulse." "Perhaps all the Torches in this city are doing that." "Alastor." "Some kind of trick?" "An unrestricted spell?" "A sonar unrestricted spell." "Why did that person just disappear?" "To use an unrestricted spell, power of existence is necessary." "The Torch must have been used for that purpose." "What?" "Who would do such a thing?" "That Friagne?" "No, it must be the Flame Haze we've sensed since last night." "Looks like they won't leave." "What?" "There's a Flame Haze other than Shana here?" "Don't call me by that name!" "There are so many Torches here." "Any Flame Haze would notice." "They must be trying to lure the Hunter out." "Matthaee, Marce, Luca, Ioannes." "Place yourselves in the four directions and wake the ghost from its dreams!" "Master, the Torches are..." "Hard to think they figured my plan out, but looks like we'll have to hurry, Marian." "As you pointed out, too frequent visits by Flame Haze are a bother." "He didn't fall for it." "But if he's hiding close by, I bet he'll go "Found me!" and come rushing out." "Looks like we caught something else, though." "What are you two doing here?" "!" "Isn't that a nice introduction." "No "hello"?" "Interpreter of Condolence and Fang of Devastation." "So it was you two." "Hey, hey, hey!" "It's Flame of Heaven!" "Which means, she's Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed?" "What a tiny kid." "What are you two here for?" "Were you the one that did it?" "It was you, right?" "Why?" "Why do you extinguish Torches so easily?" "Huh?" "What's this?" "Looks like a Torch." "Even..." "Even a Torch might have been trying to do something." "They could have been thinking of something!" "Why..." "Why?" "!" "What's this?" "Buzz off." "Erase that one, too." "You annoying Torch!" "Wait." "That's a Mystes." "You mustn't break it carelessly." "Seriously?" "No wonder it's self-conscious." "Damn it..." "Not that we are siding with this Mystes, but I can't respect the idea of randomly erasing Torches." "What do you think you're doing;" "a Flame Haze disrupting the balance?" "Why are you blabbing laidback stuff?" "It's more screwed up to leave all these Torches untouched." "You're neglecting your duty." "I understand that there is an excessive amount of Torches here." "But it seems the Torches are set with a trick." "A trick?" "Then it might be a trap set by the Flame Haze assassin." "You guys know that many of our kind are disappearing here." "That's why we came." "We are questioning the amount of Torches here." "Yeah, we were surprised when we first arrived here." "It's abnormal." "A trick, eh?" "Alastor, I have a bad feeling." "This is a rare sight." "A Flame Haze meeting." "Friagne." "Why, why." "It's a big one." "The Hunter, eh?" "This is amazing!" "Interpreter of Condolence." "And Fang of Devastation, correct?" "I can understand that crude unrestricted spell now." "To destroy the art I made in the city..." "You piss me off." "It's just starting." "Fuzetsu!" "The Hunter, Friagne!" "Your head is mine!" "Art in the city?" "Too slow!" "The flame..." "How?" "Anti-flame ring, Azure." "It does not allow any flames to come near me." "A beautiful and noble Hougu." "I wonder why collectors tend to explain everything." "And they're always boring to listen to." "I'm sorry to hear that." "In that case..." "How about this?" "Bubble Loot." "It's one of my favorite Hougu." "No weapon can break this." "Then all I have to do is physically crush you!" "Damn it." "Now I remember that he loves to play with dolls." "If I can't break it, then I'll terminate the source!" "{ep6 with change}" "They're just toys!" "That's..." "Get back!" "Crap, if we had been close to it, we would have been goners." "That Mystes..." "It anticipated the explosion from my Dance Party." "Is it because of the power of the Hougu inside it?" "You're an eyesore." "This is interesting." "The Flame Haze stopped its sword." "I'll be taking this away." "Wait!" "Flame Haze, if you are still willing to fight, come to the highest point in this city tonight." "I'll be waiting on the best of stages. {ep 6 - with mod, Al}" "Damn, he got away." "What the hell were you doing?" "I'm..." "Looks like we can handle the Flame Haze." "Thanks to that." "If we can dispose of them, the rest is just..." "Marian, you will be reborn." "You will become an existence of your own that doesn't need to rely on anyone." "When that happens, we will have eternity." "Master." "Eternity?" "The reason why he was making so many Torches wasn't to hunt for Hougu?" "Damn, is sitting still all I can do?" "Why did I..." "That's what it means to interact with a human." "Human..." "Hey, keep it light." "You plan to fight drunk?" "But he won't even fall for another sonar spell." "I have no choice but to wait until night like he wants." "When I go, you'll just have to purify me." "Dammit!" "Purifying flame isn't meant for sobering you up!" "I've gotten myself into..." "I'm not throwing it away." "I'm using it!" "Hey, how long are you going to space out?" "I'm forced to waste time because of your screw up." "Talk about causing trouble." "Not like we had any plans." "If you're going to pull my leg, you don't have to come." "I'm coming!" "I'll fight!" "Fine." "Finally back to the eyes a Flame Haze should have." "Can't wait for night!" "Right, Flame of Heaven?" "What do you think?" "Can't expect more for a stage, don't you think?" "All we need to do now is wait for the Flame Haze." "Look, Mystes." "This is called Trigger Happy, and it's a weapon to kill Flame Haze." "A Flame Haze uses its body as a container for a King of Guze to reside within." "In the case of Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed, it'd be the Flame of Heaven." "However, the King's power is extremely large." "As a result, when they enter inside, they put their existence into hibernation." "However, this Trigger Happy can awaken the King from its hibernation." "The overflowing power of the King will destroy the container in an instant." "In other words, the Flame Haze explodes." "Isn't it great?" "What's more, the awakened King is afraid of putting the world into imbalance; it has no other choice but to return to Guze." "What remains is me, the winner." "If it's here, even if that Flame of Heaven appears, it will not affect the city.{"he"?" "Al}" "This will become a wonderful show, Marian." "Yes, Master." "Why is there a need to worry about the city?" "It shouldn't matter to them for the city to be wiped out." "Shall we go?" "Yup." "Time for a rampage, Marcosius." "Righty-o!" "Don't get hit by the gun!" "Trigger Happy?" "Damn it, so that's his trump card!" "Watch out!" "Yeah!" "I'll blow you up with one shot, Flame Haze." "Shana!" "I thought Flame Haze never cooperated." "Today's special!" "The Torches' pulsing is getting stronger." "This is strange." "Definitely strange." "Shana!" "His objective isn't hunting!" "He's set something up throughout the city!" "What is this?" "A trick in Torches..." "The entire city..." "Could it be!" "The Hunter, Friagne!" "Is your objective City Devouring?" "What?" "!" "City Devouring?" "It's too late to notice now." "Yes." "The City Devouring that was once done before by another King of Guze." "Changing an entire city into energy." "I can do it." "In fact, it's already happening." "I won't let you interrupt me." "Change the city into energy?" "Then, this city's going to..." "Mom and everyone else will..." "After hearing that he's going to perform a City Devouring, we'll have to get serious!" "Partner!" "I know!" "But how are we going to stop it?" "We got no other choice than to kill the Hunter!" "Hurry." "If the City Devouring happens, the world will fall apart." "Yeah." "That bell..." "There are times when it causes explosions and when it doesn't." "I see!" "He's faking the attacks with the bell." "He was actually triggering the City Devouring with the bell." "I need to let her know..." "I'm the only one that figured it out." "We can still stop it." "We can still save the city." "Something only I can do..." "It was supposed to end with one shot from this gun." "They're tougher than I had expected." "Master." "I'll go." "You can't, Marian." "We'll be there soon." "Master." "If you're terminated, then I cannot live on, either." "But the reverse does not hold true." "Master, please." "As long as you live, I'm..." "But because you exist, I..." "Master, now!" "Friagne-sama." "Marian..." "Yes, as long as I'm alive, you'll come back to life." "And let us live together forever." "Just the two of us..." "All I need to do is a ring or two more." "Then the City Devouring will be complete." "So..." "You die first!" "Crap." "You..." "Tool of hunting!" "Fuzetsu!" "The City Devouring stopped?" "Break down!" "Everything!" "Everything!" "EVERYTHING!" "SHANA!" "Midget!" "What?" "This is..." "Could it be..." "Crap, that's Flame of Heaven!" "Get out of here!" "We'll get caught up in it!" "You've got to be kidding me!" "Faster, Marcosius!" "That's Flame of Heaven?" "He's been summoned..." "The Flame of Heaven has been summoned to this world." "But she got hit with Trigger Happy." "So why?" "The Hunter, Friagne." "You fool." "Flame of Heaven..." "This girl will not explode." "She has enough capacity to allow me to manifest and still have extra space within her." "She is a great being." "Did you think a Lord from Guze would not choose whom to make a contract with?" "Take this." "The flame of retribution." "Mari...an..." "Closed" "Closed" "Closed" "Closed" "Closed" "Closed" "Closed" "Closed" "Closed" "Hey." "So, can you fix me?" "Your flame is beyond faint." "You're nothing more than a glow right now." "I see." "This is strange." "It's lonely that I'm disappearing, but I don't find it hard on me." "I understand now." "It doesn't matter who I am." "Do what I can do now." "That's all there was to it." "Such stupid distress." "You were like that from the beginning." "Was I?" "So I was, eh?" "Shana." "I have a favor to ask." "What?" "The name, Shana." "Will you keep using it?" "Sure." "What?" "I'm existing." "I'm still here!" "I haven't disappeared!" "You're joking!" "How?" "Sakai Yuji." "This is the power of the Hougu inside you." "It fully recovers the power of existence used that day at midnight." "Its name is Reiji Maigo." "Then..." "Yup." "You won't disappear." "However, there's no change in the fact that you're a dangerous Mystes." "We will remain here for a while to keep an eye on you." "Okay." "Got a problem with that?" "Not at all." "Good."
