- I want to protect the world Mafuyu lives in. That resolution will never change.

- But being with Lisa’s made me greedy.

Square brackets: Popcorn Avatar
Lisa: Go Kurandoo!!!
- I don’t want to lose.
- I want to get stronger.

02-----
- Anira!! (Wind’s breath)
- Kurando is in top form, but…

- Tch— [linked] What a bore. That all you got!?

- So it’s a bug this time…

- Basically, it appears many Asura have the ability to manifest the shape of various life forms. [linked] And it really depends on the species…

03-----
- Lots have tough bodies to begin with, [linked] so using just “Anira” doesn’t do much damage…
- Cheer up, Kurando!

- When Kurando rides the wind with his “this is it!” inspiration,
- there’s no one he can’t defeat [clef]

- A long range type with a wide field of vision.
- It’s got wings, too. Probably best not to blindly fly around too much…

04-----
- In the end, guess I’ll go with brute force upon brute force.
- Anira!! (Wind’s breath)

- You didn’t learn your lesson earlier? Something like that won’t even scratch me!!
- I’m begging you, don’t get careless!!

- Anira!! (Wind’s breath)

- Anira!! (Wind’s breath)
- Anira!!! (Wind’s breath)

05-----
- Reinforcing Anira with Anira!?

- What the hell is thaaaaaaaat!!?

06-----
- Whoa! A useful discovery!!
- Yaaaaaaaaaay!!

- Urk…

- Amazing, amazing [clef] Layering Anira multiplied its power!
Kurando: … I thought it was amazing too, just a little.
- I knew it all along [heart]

- I’m envious…

07-----
- Newest volume 3 selling amidst high praise [triple heart]
Word on robot: change
- It could go either way, so battle your hearts out [heart]

- Chapter 16: Vritra

08-----
- The Asura!?
- Too slow, Indra!
- I… defeated them.

- Ugh!?

- Under surveillance for drug trafficking. [linked] He’s also in our group’s checklist…

- No doubt about it. This guy is also Vritra’s Avatar!

09-----
- Lisaa! I told you to wait till I’m on the scene before you finish them off!!
- Otherwise I can’t get any information out of them!
- Huh!?
- There’s no way enemies are gonna move the way you want them!!

- Don’t just go around shaking those huge boobs. Use your head once in a while!
- Sorry we’re late.
- No biggie.
- Is that what it is!? I can’t hear anything but the whines of someone who doesn’t have any!!

- To be honest, I was just going to use the wind’s ability, and have Kai’s thunder be the finishing blow… yet,

- Recently I’ve become able to use the wind the way I want.
- Up until now… I haven’t had a real sense of improvement, however…

- If it’s now, I feel like I can face any kind of Asura!

10-----
- Kurando, we’re going! I’ll treat you to beef bowl!!
- Kai-kun, let’s go! I’m treating you to A5 rank pure beef steak!!

- Finally finished—
- Let’s go hang out somewhere.

- Lisa…
- Hm?

11-----
- I want you to go out with me. [In case there’s confusion, there’s 2 meanings at work here – one is to go outside, and the other is to date. Obviously Kurando just means going outside, but the class misunderstand, hence their reaction.]

- A sudden development?

- Only now?
- In front of everybody!?

- Okay [clef]
- Where to?

12-----
- Well, just somewhere…
- Yes yes yes yes.
- I knew it was something like that.

- Shinozaki, I must be really narrow minded…!
- Tabe-chan?

- I was a liiiittle surprised there.

- Go see your mother?

13-----
- I promised Mafuyu.
- I myself’d rather not avoid this any longer.

- Is it really okay for me to be there?
- What if I say something totally unnecessary?
- I want you to be there.

- Knowing that crybaby angel [linked] was able to become the strong Lisa she is now,
- it makes me want to work hard, too.

14-----
- Wh, whawha… [linked] what’s up all of a sudden!
- I told you before, I’ve remembered everything about the time we met as kids.
- When we met again at the bridge, there wasn’t a trace of angelic aura about her so I couldn’t tell.

- Come on, we’re going.
- Uh…
- Uuuh…

- Kurando is shaking…

- I see.
- For Kurando, going to see his mother [linked] requires even more courage than when he’s fighting Asura…

15-----
- Wh, what?
- It’s okay, it’s okay [clef]

- Calmed down?

- … yeah.

16-----
- That’s a biiiig hospital.
- Mother is the head nurse here.

- Isn’t she still working?
- It’s better than when she’s working the night shift.

17-----
- Just now, [linked] we touched another Ashram…!
- Is it Asura… or Deva in that car!?
Text below panel: A circular field of 37.5m diameter with Deva (Asura) in its middle. Avatar are only able to use their abilities within this field.

- The Avatar still needs more training. [linked] He can’t even distinguish Asura and Deva.

- Y,
- You are…

18-----
- from that time…!!

- Long time no see. However, that is a time before our rebirth. You would be, [linked] Fuuten [kanji means ‘wind’ and ‘sky’]… Vayu. Indra’s friend.

19-----
- It’s not good for your body, big sister, get back in the ca…
- There’s no helping it. They are already in front of us, after all.

- Big sis…?
- Lisa! I can’t tell, which are they?

- Vritra~~~~!!

20-----
- Vritra!?

- Asura!?

- Siblings!?

- …Just once,
- When we met in that park,
- a brief, insignificant meeting,

- Me for my little sister,
- and he for his big sister, we were both frantic with worry.
- For a moment, despite not even knowing the other’s name,
- we each understood just what is
- most important to the other!!

21-----
- A little brother who, thinking of his big sister, becomes Avatar to the Asura who wishes to end the world.
- A big sister who pulls the strings from the shadows, driving us to confrontations with Asura.
- The Asura made for the purpose of destroying Deva, Vritra!!
- Why’s everything turning out like this!?

- …are you, serious?
- Do you have any idea what you’re doing!!?

- Asura will bring about the end of the world.

22-----
- You gotta be kidding me!!

- You can’t, Kurando!! Wai…

- Anira!! (Wind’s breath)

23-----
- Big sister,
- I’m fine, don’t worry.

- Wait up, you!!
- Kurando!

24-----
- Stop! [linked] I admit it was my mistake to appear before you,
- but we have no intention to fight you right now.

- Besides, as you are now, you cannot win against us.

- I don’t know that till I try!! [linked] Those who want to end the world have no right to lengthy negotiations…
- I said wait, Kurandoo!!

25-----
- Get off, Lisa…
- There are too many things I don’t understand. [linked] Why are you treating your own people as disposable pawns?

- Even Asura wouldn’t be able to fully utilize their abilities when they’re paired up with any old Avatar.
- Shouldn’t you explain why you’re carrying on such an obvious farce despite being invincible?

- The outcome is inevitable.
- You too probably had no idea you’d get to hear about everything here.

- …to be frank, as you well know,
- we count as little more than grains of sand.

26-----
- The God of Creation Brahma made this world, but he merely did so on a whim..
- On another whim he abandoned it. [linked] Moreover, the God of Preservation Vishnu meaninglessly toys with us out of apathy.
- When the winner of the battle between Asura and Deva can remake such a world into their ideal, is it not natural for one to wish for victory?

27-----
- Stop talking like that!!

- Everybody is here!
- Uwaah!
- Asura and Deva all reincarnated as humans, didn’t they? Then…

- Answer me as a human!!
- The people who stay by your side, the people you care about, do you really think it’s fine to have them disappear too!?

- …that has nothing to do with you.

28-----
- …is that so.
- We’ll do it, Lisa! We’ll take them down right here!! [linked] There’s no way I’ll let them do as they like with the world Mafuyu is in!!

- I’ll say it once more.
- Right now, we have no intention to fight you gu…

29-----
- Anira!! (Wind’s breath)

30-----
- It cut!? [linked] To think Kurando’s mastered Anira to such a degree…!

- But…

31-----
- The hell that’s immortality! Your injuries just happen to heal faster, that’s all!!
- So what, I’ll just beat you up before you have time to heal!!

- Having someone lash out at us with such raw emotion – this is a first.
- I suppose we are… nothing more than bad guys to him.

- Huh,
- so it’s like that.

- Quit zoning out, Lisa!!

32-----
- We can do this, Lisa! [linked] I can move the wind according to my will now!!
- There’s no way we’re losing to Vritra!!!

Text beside last panel: Impatient Kurando… Lisa’s heart is!?

- Continued in chapter 17

33-----
- Kurando, impatient for the show-down with Vritra… / But what does Lisa think…?
Text above bubbles: Next time
- It’s true Kurando has become stronger… but, it’s not yet…
Small middle bubble: What is it? That tickles…
- The humans manipulating us, the world, fate… I’ll crush them all to pieces!
Spiky bubble: Blood is… don’t move!
- It pisses me off. Everyone is so…!
Biggest bubble: Vritra’s ability is more than just immortality.
