Shinkurou: They were bait.
Shinkurou: Why didn't I realize it!?

Shinkurou: No...wait a second...
Shinkurou: Why is the Akuu Company after the Houzuki family in the first place...!?

Shinkurou: Yuuno-san!!

Yuuno: B...
Yuuno: Big brother...

04

Housen: Damn it, Meiri...

Housen: Why do I have to go get Chizuru...?

Meiri: What's wrong with doing it every once in a while?

Meiri: Chi-chan will be glad to have her grandfather come get her.

Text above Housen: Hmm

Housen: I have no choice...
Housen: On the way back I can buy Chizuru something...

Housen: Hm?

05

Brother: I'm shocked.

Brother: You used to be so small, Yuu-chan...

Yuuno: Stay away from me!!!

Yuuno: Why are you here...?

Yuuno: You can't be here!!
Yuuno: You're..!!

Yuuno: ...You're....!!

Brother: This isn't like you,
Brother: Yuu-chan.
Yuuno: Eh?

07

Brother: You're wide open.

Girl: So you're Houzuki Housen-sama...

08

Girl: This is the first time I've had the honor of meeting you.

Housen: I'm happy that a lady as young as you would try to hit on me...

Housen: But I'm sorry.
Housen: I'm on my way to meet my cute granddaughter...

Chizuru: Grampa...

09

Girl2: Our orders from "Red Cap"-sama were...
Girl2: to destroy the roots of Houzuki...

Housen: Red Cap?

Shinkurou: Haa
Shinkurou: Haa

10

Ginko: You idiot!!!

Ginko: What are you thinking!?

Ginko: I wasn't done talking to you!!
Shinkurou: Haa
Shinkurou: Haa

Shinkurou: Sorry...
Shinkurou: But I need to get to the Houzuki place now...!!

Ginko: What can you do on your own!?
Ginko: You don't know who you're up against!!

Shinkurou: B...
Shinkurou: But that's exactly why I have to do something...!

11

Ginko: The Akuu Company has sent some soldiers-for-hire...

Ginko: in order to attack the Houzuki.

Ginko: You know very well what a professional soldier-for-hire is like, right?

Ginko: If you go there now...
Shinkurou: ...True

Shinkurou: Master and Yuuno-san are both much stronger than I am.

Shinkurou: But...
Shinkurou: I...!

12

Shinkurou: Master!!!
Shinkurou: Yuuno-san!!!

Shinkurou: Y...

13

Yuuno: *gasp*
Yuuno: *gasp*

Brother: Hey.
Brother: You got here sooner than I thought you would.

14

Shinkurou: You're...

Brother: I didn't really think you'd take on that group I hired...
Brother: but I did get a pretty good idea of how strong you hare.

Brother: Kurenai Shinkurou-kun.

Shinkurou: U...

15

Shinkurou: Ohhh!!!

16

Shinkurou: What...?
Shinkurou: That was exactly the same as Yuuno-san's throw...

17

18

Shinkurou: He's fast...!!

Woman: "Red Cap"-sama.

Woman: I can take care of someone of his level.
Brother: No...
Brother: I'd like for you to let me do this.

Brother: Please.

Woman: Okay...

19

Shinkurou: "Red Cap".
Shinkurou: He's a soldier-for-hire from the Akuu Company...!

Brother: Also...
Brother: He probably hasn't shown us all of his "powers" yet.

Shinkurou: Why does he use the exact same type of martial arts as Yuuno-san...?
Shinkurou: Haa
Shinkurou: Haa
Shinkurou: No, this isn't the time to be thinking about that.

Shinkurou: I have no choice but to use the power of the "Horn".

Shinkurou: I will save Yuuno-san!!

20

Brother: I see...
Brother: So it was true after all.

Brother: You are...
Brother: the inheritor of the power of the Fighting Demon of "Houzuki"...

21

Brother: I didn't want to believe it.

22

Yuuno: Sh...!!

23

Shinkurou: You should leave.
Shinkurou: If you try to fight, you'll end up like him.

Yuuno: N...
Yuuno: No, Shinkurou-san!!
Yuuno: He's...!!

24

Brother: A punch like that...

25

Brother: isn't going to work on me.
Brother: My body's foundation has been thoroughly trained.

Shinkurou: Wh...!!

Shinkurou: Why!?

Shinkurou: Why does a soldier-for-hire from the Akuu Company...
Shinkurou: know the "Houzuki Style" of fighting!!

26

Brother: My body was originally made this tough...
Brother: so that I could withstand the power of the transplanted "horn"...
Brother: and so I could master using it.

Brother: And now...
Brother: you have that horn.

Brother: And yet...
Brother: this is the best you can do?

Brother: If that...

27

Brother: If that's all you have...!

Yuuno: P...!!

Yuuno: Please stop!!
Yuuno: Shinkurou-san's relationship with the Houzuki family is already...!!

Shinkurou: Yu...!!

28

Shinkurou: Yuuno-san...!!

Brother: You will break.

29

Yuuno: Stop...!!

Yuuno: Stoooop!!!

30

Woman: How wonderful...

Woman: His white hair dyed red with...
Woman: the blood of his enemy.

Brother: Now...
Brother: to finish this.

Brother: If I'm going to destroy you, I'm going to make it so you can never be resurrected...

31

Shinkurou: Y...
Shinkurou: Yuuno-san...

32

Yuuno: We have no use for the weak.

Yuuno: You had already left the Houzuki house.
Yuuno: And now you use the power of the fighting demon that I forbade you to use. And you did so right in front of me...

Yuuno: You are excommunicated.
Yuuno: We no longer need you.
Text: A sudden pronouncement! Why...!?
