Shinkurou: I will stop Kirihiko-chan.

Text: He can no longer hesitate!!

Shinkurou: I...

03

Shinkurou: will NOT let Ritsu-san be killed.

Lin: Can you stop her?

Lin: You're up against <Kirishima> Kirihiko.
Lin: I'm not even sure the guards deployed here are enough.

Lin: If I had known about this...
Lin: I would definitely have had the highest level guards here!

04

SFX: Grab

Lin: Why didn't you say anything about this until now!?

Shinkurou: I...

Shinkurou: didn't want to make Murasaki sad.

05

SFX: Let go

Lin: I...
Lin: don't want that to happen either.

Lin: But Murasaki-sama...
Lin: is not the type to change her opinion of that girl...
Lin: over whether she is a member of the Inner 13 Families or not.

Lin: I gave in to that kindness of hers...
Lin: and neglected to bring the main force of the guards.

Lin: If I had been properly vigilant...
Lin: we wouldn't be in this situation that could sadden Murasaki-sama!!

06

Lin: I am...
Lin: unfit to be her bodyguard...

Shinkurou: Th-
Shinkurou: That's not true.
Shinkurou: You were doing your best for Murasaki's sake.

Lin: Kurenai...

Lin: Wha-...!!
Lin: Don't take advantage of the situation and touch me!!
SFX: Pull back
Shinkurou: Eh?

07

Lin: I can't believe...
Lin: you're trying to lure me in like you do with the others!

Shinkurou: Eh?
Lin: Don't play dumb!!
Lin: I won't let you take advantage me even in a moment of weakness!!
Shinkurou: Ehh!?

Lin: And if you try the same thing on young Murasaki-sama...!!
SFX: Grab
Shinkurou: No, I...!!

SFX: Put back

Lin: Hmph...
Lin: I don't have time for your flirting.

Lin: At least I know the situation now.

08

Lin: My duty is to protect Murasaki-sama.
Lin: I will be keeping her as far from here as I can.

Lin: You carry out your duty as well.

SFX: Collapse

09

SFX: Tchk

Guards: ...What happened?
Guards: I don't know.

Guards: There were no signs of rebels.

10

SFX: Bang bang bang

SFX: Creak

11

SFX: Running

Lin: Why were shots fired on such a high floor!!?
Lin: What are the guards watching the entrance doing!?

Shinkurou: Are you here...
Shinkurou: Kirihiko-chan!?

SFX: Stop

Lin: I will go escape with Murasaki-sama!!
Lin: You know what you have to do, right!?

12

Lin: Let me...
Lin: give you one warning.
Sign: Surgery Reception

Lin: If she has named herself as both <Kirishima> and "Kirihiko"...
Lin: then that girl is a pure direct relative of the family originator.
Lin: The <Kirishima> family has named the member of each generation who inherits the job of assassin "Kirihiko".

Shinkurou: So that's how a girl got the name "Kirihiko"...

Lin: She does not just have superficial strength.

13

Kirihiko: This is a game.
Kirihiko: Let's enjoy it.

Lin: With your power, you'll at most be able to strike at the same time as her.
Lin: Do you have the resolution needed to stab her and be stabbed yourself?

14

Text: Don't lose, Shinkurou.

Shinkurou: ...Lin-san.

Shinkurou: I leave Murasaki to you.

Lucy: So I sent a little help.

Kirihiko: it has to be him.

Kirihiko: <Bigfoot>.

18

Shinkurou: No way...

Shinkurou: Not just the guards...
Shinkurou: The nurses and the patients were taken out, too...

Shinkurou: ...But this is odd.
Shinkurou: The bodies look like they were killed by being hit by a giant hammer...

Shinkurou: It wasn't Kirihiko-chan?
