Rosary: ...Damn it
Why's this church so huge?!

[2]
Rosary: We'll split up and search for them
The one who finds them shouts out loud!!
(There aren't anymore saint knights to worry about!!)

Pare: Yeah... ok!!

Insert: Caligula closes in on Buzz!!


[3]
Pare: Saint Knight, Caligula...

[4]
Pare: The guy that captured Buzz's dad
A maniac huh...

[5]
Pare: A guy like that... If I were to find him before Rosary
is there anything I can do...?

[6]
Pare: ...But now's not the time to be thinkin' that!!
Right now, I have to


Page 3

[1]
Pare: concentrate on finding Buzz and Laura-san...!!

[3]
Caligula: The orders from above
are to capture you alive

[4]
Caligula: But that's a bit of an effort
There's that midge fighting hard outside too

[5]
Buzz: Could it be... that this guy
is the saint knight that arrested my dad...?!

[6]
Knight: Ugh...
Hmm...?!

[7]
Knight: C- Captain Caligula!!
This guy, is he--


Page 4

[5]
Caligula: Asklepios the ripper and his band
killed a saint knight...
It'd give me a good reason to say I was trying to defend myself right?


Page 5

[1]
Caligula: A corpse'd be easier to carry...

[3]
Pare: He killed him...
That guy... killed his own comrade

[4]
Pare: and in cold blood...!!!


Page 6

[1]
Pare: You've gotta be kiddin' me...!!!

[2]
Pare: That guy's dangerous
He's seriously insane...!!!

[5]
Pare: I was making light of things...
These guys were being hounded by an impossible enemy...!!

[6]
Pare: If I side these "heretics",
eventually I'll be...!!

Rosary: Pare!!!


Page 7

[1]
Rosary: This side's all empty
How about you?

[3]
Pare: Th- they're in the room at the end of this hall...

[4]
Pare: But... I'm sorry
I...!!

[6]
Rosary: Get out of here right now!!


Page 8

[1]
Rosary: Even if you stick around, you'd just get in the way!!
Run far far away
and just forget everything about us!!

[5]
Rosary: ...It's ok

[6]
Rosary: It's natural that you be scared
Cuz that guy's seriously dangerous...


Page 9

[1]
Rosary: Thanks for everything
Pare...!!

[2]
Caligula: What're you doing
Successor...?

[3]
Buzz: Th- this saint knight
his injury isn't fatal... He can still be saved

[4]
Buzz: I- I don't care about what happens to me
but please, save Laura-san and this saint knight...!!!

[6]
Caligula: Like father, like son. You're both such idiots
Both of you fell for a similar trap...


Page 10

[1]
Caligula: and both of you say the same thing

Thug: I won't run... Just let me treat the patient
Do what you'd like with me after that...

Caligula: I remember getting orders to capture him alive back then too...

[3]
Caligula: But that was already his death sentence
(Haha, how pointless)

[4]
Caligula: Well whatever it is
I just can't stand those we call "heretics"
So I have absolutely no intention of accepting your request

[6]
Buzz: I- I'm
very weak
but if you're gonna kill these people too...


Page 11

[1]
Buzz: I'll fight you...!!!

[3]
Caligula: You're not what I expected from the rumours I heard
Oh well

[4]
Caligula: Let's see it then
this fighting of yours...

Rosary: Young master!!!

Buzz: Ro- Rosa-
Rosary: Stand back, sir!!!

[3]
Rosary: Shit...
My vision's... blurred...!!

[4]
Rosary: Pull yourself together, Rosary...
This is the saint knight that arrested the Master...

[5]
Rosary: Until I defeat him!!

[6]
Rosary: I won't go down!!!!


Page 14

[1]
Caligula: She's fast!!

[2]
Caligula: I underestimated her
She's all battered and yet this speed...

[3]
Caligula: But it's too bad
In this situation, my sword

[4]
Caligula: is faster...!!!

Rosary: Yaaaaaaah!!!

Pare: He...hehe

Caligula: Oh yeah... I forgot about the fake
Shit, it's broken...

Caligula: Hey, here's a good one

[2]
Caligula: I don't really like arrows
