20th movement - Shchel and Great's Canon

Box: Hospital Ward

Bratsche: Uh
Uh
Eh
I... was

---- 2

Bratsche: I was so stupid!! I set...
I set Shchel-kun free right there...
Biyorne: Bratsche

Bratsche: If I hadn't butt in where I shouldn't, he wouldn't be in such a state...

UWAAAAAAAAHN!!
Biyorne: What are you saying, Bratsche
If Shchel-kun hadn't been there...

I think things would have turned out much worse!
Even my legs were completely frozen...
I couldn't do anything...

---- 3

Biyorne: That boy
is really
something else...

Even though that little body
might be the weakest
among us...

He jumped right in the middle of that
He didn't once recoil from the demon king's blood
But stood his ground...
while everyone was attacking Great...

And stopped him...
on his own......

---- 4

Lute: That's right
I wasn't stopping him

I feared the power of the demon king's blood in Great...
I only thought of gouging out the right eye where its powers were lodged

I was trying to hold him down by force
Just like the people who rejected Great.........

But... Shchel-kun......
risked his life
to stop Great...

He was able
to accomplish what I couldn't...

---- 5

Gustav: Nevertheless...
Even though there's a medical team of the highest level available...

That little Piroro thingie...

Piroro: It's fine, so just leave!!
I'll take care of him!!

Doctors: But... if us doctors don't examine a patient so severely wounded...
Piroro: My wing powder will be more effective by far!!

Doctors: Bu, but...
Piroro: Shut up!

I will examine Shchel!!
Gustav: Is that...

---- 6

Gustav: really alright?

It's already late night, but...

[GATCHA] (sound of door opening)

off-pannel: PIRORO!

[haa haa haa]

Piroro: He made it
somehow...
he survived...

---- 7

SH--

SHCHEEEEL!!

Shchel: Hey...

---- 8

sfx: BA-
SQUEEEZE

Bratsche: I'M SO GLAAAAAD YOU'RE ALIVE YOU'RE ALIIIIIIIVE
sfx: CRACK CRACK CRACK
Shchel: PRRKYAAAAAAAAAAAH

Gustav: YOU WENT AND DID IT, EH, SHCHEL!!
Sfx: GOH
Shchel: HOGEH

Biyorne: YOU DID IT!!
Shchel: DEEEEEH

Everyone: WHY YOU WHY YOU WHY YOU~~~
sfx: BOKAH BOKAH BOKAH
Piroro: DO YOU WANNA KILL HIM FOR REAL!!

---- 9

Lute: Shchel-kun
Thank you
for saving
Great...

Shchel: Lu... te... san...
Ah-- no....

I...

Lute voiceover: From now on, no matter
how many hardships may await in your future

---- 10

Lute voiceover: My cross of justice
is pledged unto you
the heavenly thunder that purges evil

Amen

Shchel: Lute-sa....
?

---- 11

Piroro: Now, just leave already!
[gasp gasp]
[pant pant]
Shchel is still heavily wounded and you're tiring him!
[handwritten: Me, too...]

You'll affect his wounds!!
Leave now!!
sfx: drag drag
Bratsche: Shchel-kun...!
Gustav/Biyorne: See you, Shchel!!

Piroro: Good grief!!
[hah hah]
Shchel: Thank you, Piroro

for treating me
with all your power...

Piroro: It's alright... Shchel
...But I have... no scales left...
my wings are falling apart......
I won't be able to fly for a while
But that...

---- 12

Piroro: doesn't really matter...
more importantly
You somehow made it this time, but...

Shchel, you're
always being rash
If you...
if you keep up with these things, I...

I worry, I worry...
Like my heart is going
to break apart...

Shchel: Sorry...
Pi... roro...

---- 13

Clari: Black
Fairy... eh

We understood several things from this current case
The two consecutive incidents were undoubtedly that guy's work
He was aiming for Great from the beginning

And he made use of the "Seireijutsu" (Spirit Arts) passed down from ancient times

The fact that someone who uses this technique exists...

And the words he said bother me...

---- 14

Clari: This "Plan"...

That guy knew about the piece of darkness that lurks within Great...
And waited for the opportunity to purposefully cause a brutal transformation and induce an attack

Horn Pipe: To snatch blood with traces of the Great Demon King's power

WHAT COULD HE POSSIBLY WANT TO USE IT FOR?!
WHAT MANNER OF CREATURE IS HE!!
sfx: BAM
CRACK

BOARD CHAIRMAN!!

---- 15

Clari: If there's any movement after this...
Please report to me

And try not to damage valuable specimens
Professor Horn-Pipe...

Horn Pipe: I dare say the board chairman is
Hiding something...

Something that can't be
made public

What on earth is about to happen...

under
the skies...

---- 16

of this world

Percuss: Leaving the urban area...
200 kilometers northeast...

He's yet
to contact anyone...

Does he intend to escape the country like this...!
Certainly he'll contact the ringleader

once there...

---- 17

Percuss: Eh!?

Wha--

Th, the black fairy was...
cut right in half!?

---- 18

Percuss: Ukk

Uwah--
What's this--

Is that
the wire puller?!

Taking that blood...
What in hell

---- 19

Percuss: are you!

Ugh
Damn

Uh--
Crap!

COMMANDER CLARIIIIII!

---- 20-21

Great: .........
Shchel...

You're...
really...

always...

---- 22

voiceover: being rash...

Shchel: I'll change destiny!!

---- 23

Great: Tche...

It's bothersome, but...

I'll follow you
Shchel...
