Blood Alone 20

*Note that there is a Japanese name here left untranslated. The name '玲治' is mentioned once. Will replaced it later when I find it. Somebody in #translators translated it at Reiji. I will leave it at that until I can find the Japanese raw.*

Kuroe:

Did I just lose my conscious earlier …?

//

//

Kuroe:

My injuries … They’re healed …?

--------------------------------------------------

Kuroe:

Could it be the lady’s ‘World’?

*TL note: 'World' is a name of a skill taught to Kuroe by the 'Lady'.

Blip …

Blip …

Caledwlch:

Oujo- chan, that phone will never get through.

Misaki:

Runs

Misaki:

!?

//



Caledwlch:

I will never allow you to run off.

Background (Caledwlch):

Grab!

//

Caledwlch:

You’re the bait, whose purpose is to fish him out.

Before that happens, I will treat you nicely.

//

Caledwlch:

I only have one request. That is for him to display the same power using those eyes of his that injured me the last time.

… But I have no other choice if it can only be done by exchanging your life with it.

Kuroe:

Leave your hands off her.

Page 14

Caledwlch:

This is so unexpected. I thought I have personally inflicted a life threatening injury, and yet you survived.

//
Caledwlch:

But … What are you going to do now?

//

Caledwlch:

Speaking of which, I do have a hostage at hand.

Background:

Holds up

//

Caledwlch:

What can you do if I used her as a shield?

------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 15

Misaki:

Kuroe …

//

//

//

Caledwlch:

So your name … is Kuroe, heh?

----------------------------------------------------------------

Page 16

Caledwlch:

So you’re that … Magician Chloe, right?

//

Kuroe:

…

//

Kuroe:

You’re right.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 17

Kuroe:

… I am the Magician,

//

Kuroe:

Kuroe.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Page 18

Caledwlch:

… This is interesting. Even though I have no idea on what had happened. Physical appearance wise, there is no difference.

However, the feeling I get by looking at you is different from earlier.

//

Misaki:

… !!

Background (sofa):

Toss!

//


Kuroe:

…!?

//

Caledwlch:

Are you aware of the ‘Red Sword’ …

--------------------------------------------------------------

Page 19

Caledwlch:

At present, this tragic group has already reduced to being mankind’s dog.

However I, Caledwlch, am still a part of that group.

//

Caledwlch:

And as a knight of ‘Red Sword’, we have no need for …

… Women and children to be our bargaining chips.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 20

Caledwlch:

The famous and well renowned magician …

Do you seriously expect the thing that you’re holding on your hand can stopped my sword?

Page 26

Caledwlch:

Hoh … What an interesting thing you have there … So that is Chloe’s magic staff …

//



Caledwlch:

To think that he is able to fend off the first attack …

//

Caledwlch:

But what on earth happens after that …?

By right, he shouldn’t have the time to avoid the second attack.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 27

//

Caledwlch:

No …

All these are irrelevant …

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 28

Caledwlch:

Chloe, the limitless magician …

It doesn’t matter even if you are the fake or real one.

It is sufficient to know that you are indeed a worthy opponent to defeat.

Caledwlch:

His earlier movements …!?

//

Caledwlch:

They disappeared …!?

//

//

Caledwlch:

No, this guy …

---------------------------------------------------------

Page 31

Caledwlch:

… Can manipulate time …

Background (hand):

Falls!

Caledwlch:

Ho … ho ho ho!

-------------------------------------------------------

Page 34

Caledwlch:

This is great, Chloe!

It comes at a no surprise that your existence alone is dub as taboo …

//

Caledwlch:

This battle …

… Is something that I have long to sought after.

//

Caledwlch:

After being through countless battles with my fellow comrades, defeating countless strong opponents …

As times go on, I had thought there is no other way I could have enjoyed these battles any longer.

------------------------------------------------------

Page 35

Caledwlch:

I have never thought that at this moment, I could still be exchanging sword blows …

-----------------------------------------------------

Pant …

Kuroe:

Pant …

Caledwlch:

If my last opponent is as strong as you are …

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 37

Caledwlch:

Then that would be …

//

Caledwlch:

… The perfect ending that I had wished for.

Kuroe:

Uh …

//

//

Kuroe:

… Where is this …?

//

Kuroe:

Misaki …

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Page 41

The Lady:

You really a cause of anxiety for me!

//

Kuroe:

‘Lady’ …

//

The ‘Lady’:

You are really a useless disciple that doesn’t grow up …

You wouldn’t use that ability until you are really forced into a corner.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Page 42

Kuroe:

… Is that Magician Chloe’s ‘World’?

The ‘Lady’:

As you have expected …

//

The ‘Lady’:

That is the gift that I’ve bestow to you.

If used appropriately, those blood sucking maggots aren’t worth facing against.

//

Kuroe:

When used appropriately … right?

//

Misaki:

Uh?

------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 43

Misaki:

Kuroe …?

//

Misaki:

… Who are you talking to just now?

Kuroe:

Huh …?

//

//

Kuroe:

No … I was just talking to myself …!

//

Misaki:

?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jessie:

Just for a birthday, she had a suit specially tailored. And it takes only one day for it to wreck. How surprisingly unbelievable!

//

Kuroe:

No, that is …

Misaki:

I agreed. To think that I have taken the trouble to do that for him! How disappointing!

//

Jessie:

But, I am glad that the both of you are unharmed.

//

Kuroe and Misaki:

…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Page 45

Misaki:

I am looking at you differently …

Kuroe:

…

//

Misaki:

I have always thought that Kuroe’s magic is a just plain talk.

//

Jessie:

Magic …?

//

Misaki:

Even though it is just questioning his moral integrity, he can indeed utilize magic!

That teabag incident … didn’t you demonstrate to me once?

//

Kuroe:

Hah hah …

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kuroe:

Then, keep your eyes on this tea spoon …

Background (spoon):

Wave!

//

Kuroe:

Later …

//

Misaki:

Hah!

Background (sugar cube):

Drop …!!

//

Misaki:

You hold onto the sugar cube with your left hand …!!

Kuroe:

That is why,

The trick is not to let them notice it.

//

Misaki:

Isn’t that the same as cheating!!

//

Kuroe:

Ho ho ho

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 47

Jessie:

That’s right …

//

Jessie:

Reiji-san is coming here to visit tonight!

Misaki:

Is that for real?

Kuroe:

Be careful on the way.

//

//

//

Small kid:

Onee- chan, bye bye …!!

//

Misaki:

!!

//

Kuroe:

He is saying goodbye to you!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Misaki:

Hah …

This tires me out …!

Background (Misaki):

Flop!

//

Kuroe:

It’s been tough for you,

You’ve helped me a lot.

Misaki:

Don’t mention it.

//

Misaki:

However it does get a bit lonely …

Without him fooling around …!

Kuroe:

Ho ho ho.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 51

//

Misaki:

He could be feeling insecure earlier …

//



Misaki:

Definitely …

//

Misaki:

With that earlier stubborn display, that should have been the case …

//

Kuroe:

That should be it …

---------------------------------------------------------

Page 52

//

Kuroe:

…

//

//

Misaki:

What is it?

//

Kuroe:

No …

---------------------------------------------------------

Kuroe:

I am just pausing a moment …

… Remising about the past.
