SFX: Breath out
-Kurenai... huh

-A mediator

-We have the same character in our names, I wonder if it's a coincedence
Follow me
[T/L: The Kanji chatacter for "Kurenai" and "Beni"ka are the same, that's why she says they have the same character in their names, it's pronounced differently]
SFX: Footsteps

-Shi...!!

*And then*



Page 28

*Benika-san introduced me to the Houdzuki house*

*I became a Houdzuki apprentice and was thrown into the training of hell*

*The training was
To remodel my body into the proper course*

*Throughout the body, and my bones were worked to the point of exhaustion. Not that place*

*Many times over I was broken and smashed, and wasted on the concrete floor*

*Even the position of my internal organs had moved. Morning and evening, I'd do nothing but training.*



Page 29

*I wanted to become strong*

*Even though I have no family in this world, to live alone...*

*Strong...*

-Shinkurou!!



Page 30

SFX: Hug
-Wait a sec!!

-Murasaki!
-Why are you...

-I came to see you!
-If you weren't going to come to the May Rain Villa then I came here to see you!

-What's wrong Shinkurou?
-Eh?

-Did something painful happen?

-No, it's nothing at all
-She's the same as ever, her intuition is right on the mark...

-...



Page 31

-Shinkurou
-I'll always be with you

*I wanted to become strong*

*Even though I have no family in this world
To live by myself...*

*But*

SFX: Rumbling anger
-Eh?

-That kind of wicked thoughts, get sweeping!
You better be thorough!!
