page 5 In the past, there was a battle that scorched both the demon world and the human world. That contest for championship between the previous demon world emperor and the Azel's founder Kaimei Zol would later be called by the peole "Daimadousensou" (The Great Demon War). At that time, the defeated Kaimei's sould was sealed into the sword of Azel. Through being inhertied by the new Azel leader Rodrique, that power became stronger than before. The only absolute demon - sealing sword - that is the sword of Azel. page 6 Zadei: You're fantastic, Laures, to hold out against my power so far. But whatever you do, you're finished. Laures : I could say the same thing about you, Zadei. page 7 Zadei: For how long can you prate about your strength!! Hilda: Hurry, hurry Karifu! page 8 - 9 Hilda: % The sword of Azel - The sword of Azel - if only we had it, Laures would be winning...! Wait, Laures - I'll definately bring back Azel's sword for you ---- page 10 Rod: $ Hilda, just remember this - when we next meet, whatever happens between us, I love you ---- Hilda: % Rod... Karifu: What's the matter, Hilda-sama? Hilda: % Now... isn't the time to wallow in sentiment... Hilda: It's... it's nothing. Hilda: % Yes - now... I will only do the most I can do. page 11 Hilda: I can see it! That's the human world... Karifu!? page 12 Karoun: We meet again, Hilda. Hilda: You were a demon world person...? Karoun: For the sake of his enemy Laures, you're so blithely going to get the sword from Rodrique, aren't you? Hilda: Why do you know --!? Karoun: I can read the pattern of your movements perfectly. You're an arrogant woman! page 13 Karoun: You don't even think about how Rod felt when he saw you off. Well, I guess that is what people are like. Hilda: I may be arrogant, but if there's no other way, then I will stick to it. Until now, I was protected by Laures. So now I will protect him. Karoun: That is unfortunate. You will die with that intention unfulfilled. page 14 Karoun: If that sword is given to Laures now, my plans will come to naught. page 15 Karoun: Wha... Hilda: I won't die, not here, now now. I won't let you get in my way. Whatever happens, I will live! page 16 Karoun: Even if all you are to Laures is nothing more than Erise's vessel? Even you must realize that. page 17 Hilda: % The one that Laures is yearning for with those eyes, even though reincarnated, is his lost Erise's soul only --- Hilda: Even so, that can't be helped. I love him. page 18 Karoun: That's... that's nothing more than self-deceit---! Iria: % Stop... brother Karoun: % Iria...!! page 19 Karoun: For an instant... that woman's face turned into Iria's. Huh... I've grown senile. Hilda: Karoun---! page 20 Hilda: No, not there. Go down. Listen to what you said. No matter what it takes, I must see Rod. % --- No matter what... page 21 Asubaru: Hey Rod, over there...! Hilda: Ro...d... Rod: Hilda...! It's Hilda, isn't it? Why on earth...!? Hilda: Thank god, I thought I'd never reach you. I know it's unreadonable, but there's something I want to ask of you. page 22 Hilda: The sword... lend me Azel's sword..! Rod: --- Did something happen in the demon world? Hilda: At the moment Laures is in danger. I -- don't want to lose him. Nothing can save him but that sword...! page 23 Karoun: That's such selfish talk. Rod: Karoun, you're badly hurt. Karoun: Don't get so familiar. page 24 Karoun: I said before, I believe. This time we meet, we are enemies. But, this time my busines is with the woman. Be good and hand her over and you won't get hurt too much. Rod: I don't know what you're thinking, but I won't let you lay one finger on her. Karoun: As always, you care about people. But consider. It's possible that the woman is being manipulated by Laures, isn't it!? page 25 Rod: Asubaru, don't hurt him! Rod: Hilda page 26 Rod: Won't you look after this for me? I will definately go too, later. Hilda: You... trust... me...? (Rod: It's heavy) Rod: I am always your ally. page 27 Rod: So, hurry. There isn't a moment to be lost. Asubaru, take care of Hilda. Asubaru: Rod, what about you?! Rod: I will settle with Karoun, so go. Asubaru: Rod... I gotcha. So, let's go, babe. Asubaru: % Some time when I didn't notice, you started living as an adult --- so that isn't only being a baby... page 28 Asubaru: % That is your strength --- Karoun: You're going to fight without a sword? Looks like I'm being underestimated too. Rod: I don't intend to fight. I want to talk to you, Karoun. Karoun: I don't have anything to talk about. You're the enemy who's getting in my way. I won't show mercy to an enemy! page 29 Rod: Karoun! Karoun: That time you could have killed me, but you didn't. This is your own fault. page 30 Rod: Wh..y... do you... want death, Karoun. You can't attain salvation by killing people. As a friend, I can't allow such an irresponsible thing. page 31 Karoun: Can't allow? Salvation...!? You think I'm yearning for salvation...? You don't understand. While I was born, from when I knew that there were destroyers --- I always dreamed of death. You won't do anything - you're nothing more than a pawn with that fate. That's what you are, isn't it? Just an insect. There's no meaning in that! page 32 Karoun: MY sister Iria was the only warm existence inside of me. But even so, I killed her with my own hand. Even then, Iria said that she loved me -- with killing that girl, the only one in my heart, I couldn't feel anymore. Neither pain, nor grief - I thought that. But what is this pain... so painful I can't breath. page 33 Karoun: Light doesn't reach Hades. I can never be saved. Rod: You wanting to be saved is your own curse. Therefore there's no meaning in destroying. page 34 Rod: That pain and grief - accept it all, Karoun, for the sake of preserving yourself. Karoun: It's too late for everything. Everything is already too late! page 36 Rod: Karoun, no matter what sort of person you are, I love you. Definately, your sister felt the same. page 38 Rod: Karoun Karoun: You... bastard... Korosu Beta!? page 39 KB: What a tame sould for the one who is Hades' King! Karoun: That time, I thought that when we had switched places, you had died. But you lived! KB: Did you forget? We are your shadow - if the "flower" isn't destroyed, then we can always revive. As the king, you are disqualified, not even being able to kill this one human! page 40 Karoun: Stop, Rod. This foolish one isn't your enemy! KB: ! Which one of us is foolish! What do you think you can do, so badly hurt? You're disqualified as the king. As of today, I become your successor! Karoun: You are stupid, aren't you. You did say that you're my shadow? If the real body becomes naught, then naturally the shadow will disappear too...? page 42 Rod: Karoun Karoun: You... tears... are flowing... for my sake...? Rod: We are friends, right?
