01 Text beside Agni: Someone please / take this cute kitty home [heart] Oval: Chapter 18: Varna - Hoshino Kouichirou Leftmost line of text: Newest 3rd volume selling amidst critical acclaim [heart]
02 - Childish!! [linked] How immature~~ - You didn’t consider Lisa’s reasons for stopping you, nor did you attempt to gauge the opponent’s actual strength, and what’s more…
- just cos you’re able to freely manipulate the wind, you got waaay ahead of yourself, - resulting in you leaving the battlefront with bone fracures that’ll take a month to heal completely.
- How nice that you’re still alive. - They went easy on you.
Text to right of panels: He rashly challenged Vritra to a match, was utterly defeated… and is currently being lectured by Indra.
03 Lisa: Nhnnn… Lisa: Grr.. Gnhnnn…...!!
Kurando: Receiving such a stern scolding is quite refreshing, contrary to expectations. Lisa: Bnnh… Kurando: See? [linked] Even Lisa’s holding back since what you said was the truth.
Kurando: I fully understand that I have a long way to go. Kurando: But I’ll say this: Next time I’ll win for sure! [linked] I’m going to do everything I can in order for that to happen.
04 Lisa: You said it, Kurando! Indra: Go figure. Text beside Kai’s bubble: Kurando-kun isn’t depressed. That’s good. Kai: Whoa. Agni: ‘Scuse me…
Agni: Hey. Agni: Hey, I said!
Agni: Why are you holding a strategy meeting at my house? Lisa: Going to family restaurants all the time is cutting into my funds, you see. Indra: Oh my, Agni, aren’t you serving your guests tea? Agni: Eeeh~~~!?
05 Kai: I will help, so shall we go make refreshments? Agni: Mnn~~~
Indra: Right, [linked] what do we know about Vritra?
Kurando: It seems they were there to use that hospital’s facilities and happened to be on the scene. Kurando: Doctors, nurses and individual employees, among these people it appears only the hospital director knows anything about them. [linked] On the other hand, not many people are able to do something like that.
Lisa: The big sister is Vritra. The little brother is her Avatar. Lisa: They implied that defeating us right now would be a hindrance to their goal.
06 Indra: Hmmm… [linked] Did they mean to make us realise their existence by sending expendable Asura and Avatars for us to defeat…? Indra: In any case, despite attempts to discern their true colours, their plan remains a mystery.
Agni: Alright! Here’s the tea you wanted!! Kai: Be of good cheer! I brought slices of Wasanban’s (high-quality) castella.
Indra: Hot! Kai: I prepared cooled tea for Amano-san, who has a sensitive tongue.
Lisa: Eating with your left hand is inconvenient, isn’t it? Here, say ahhh. Ahhh. Kurando: I’m good.
- What? - is this? - What on earth is this?
07 Kurando: H-hey, what’s wrong? Agni: I’d rather not say~~~ Kurando: Nah, just tell us. What a pain.
Agni: …I’m also a Deva, [linked] and I know that everyone is doing their best fighting~~ Agni: But, Agni: But, cuz I don’t have an Avatar to depend on~~~!
Indra: Fishing for sympathy?
08 Kurando: Okay, there’s a good girl. Bold text: Good kid.
Kurando: I understand how you feel. But getting worked up over it won’t help.
Kurando: I hope you find an Avatar you can depend on.
Lisa: You HAVE a little sister… [linked] so don’t go around patting others on the head!!
Lisa: See what you’ve done! Text beside Agni: Pat me again…
Indra: Well then, Agni. I’ll give you a job that suits the current you right down to the ground. Indra: I doubt you’d find an Avatar if you keep mixing romance with this battle of ours.
09 Indra: Apart from me, Vayu and Agni, [linked] there’re 5 more members of Lokapala. I’d like you to find them [heart] Agni: Ehh…
Indra: What? You said you wanted to help everyone, didn’t you? Agni: But, you know~~
Agni: Didn’t you say that in the worst case scenario, the others could be scattered around the world?
Indra: Exactly. So allow me to hold on to your passport. Agni: Eeek!!
Indra: First, search within the country. If there’re no results within a week, I’ll have you fly overseas~~[clef] Agni: Eeeh!? Agni: Ah… [linked] Was… this the reason you came to my house today!?
10 Papyrus: Next time, “Agni’s search for 5 Lokapala members out of the world’s population of 7 billion!” (is scheduled to) begin. Kurando: Please, stop kidding around and get serious, Agni.
Agni: Please don’t ask me to get serious~~~! Lisa: I also have a suggestion.
Lisa: I think we should perceive with Prana.
Kurando/Kai: Prana?
11 Lisa: It’s a form of energy that everything in the world, from rocks to humans, release. All 3 arrows: Prana [on each of the arrows] Lisa: Good luck! Go! Kurando: Whoa!? Lisa: The energy an Avatar receives within the Ashram circle is one type of Prana.
Lisa: Human emotions are another type of Prana. And they’re absolutely not one-way. Kurando: Aah, Kurando: I kinda feel like I get it. Lisa: If each were to deepen their understanding of the other, we can expect mutually beneficial effects.
Lisa: For example, Kurando derives energy from my encouragement. Lisa (Kurando panel): The energetic Kurando has the upper hand when he goes into battle. Indra panel: Indra seizes every opportunity and goes with the flow. Kai panel: Kai-kun senses that and releases exceptionally more powerful thunder.
12 Lisa: And with that, [linked] Agni will work hard to find our comrades-in-arms for us [clef] Kurando: Work hard. Indra: You better work hard. Kai: Please work hard. Agni: You’re completely misinterpreting the concept of Prana!!
Agni: I’ll do it, I will, it’s just… Agni: somehow it feels like I let my guard down and got used…
13 Agni: The method of searching for our comrades… Box: You know how the Ashram circle activates when Deva / Asura are with their Avatars?
Box: Being FREE, you can come into contact with those circles without being detected by Asura, and concentrate solely on seeking out Deva. Box: It’s a job that can only be done by the FREE you. FREE!! Agni: Free, free, she says. It’s annoying!
Agni: Anyhow, there’s no way I’ll find them using such a meticulous method! Agni: …but Agni: since I’m also searching for an Avatar (boyfriend) along the way, I have to do my best!
14 Agni: Sigh~~~ Agni: Geez, my feet are swollen!
Agni: …I could cry. Agni: Being in a crowd makes me really aware of my loneliness. Agni: I can’t believe this! Such a cute girl is all by herself here, yet no one’s trying to chat her up.
Police: Hey, you. Agni: Y-yes [heart]
15 Police: Looks like you’ve been wandering around here a while, Police: do you want to drop by the station and let me listen to your troubles?
- I’m… - I’m… - being pitied?
16 - Kyaaaaaa!! - Uwaah!
Agni: …wh!!
- koff Agni: An explosion… [linked] fire?
- Just now… I felt an Ashram circle! - Was this caused by an Asura? Is this an Asura’s doing!?
- There’re people who can’t move here… - Call an ambulance… quickly! - I can’t see them, but I’m sure they’re escaping amidst the confusion!
17 SFX: whee-whoo whee-whoo Bold SFX: fwshhh
- People are too careless in places where they think fire hazards won’t occur.
- Get a little blaze going and you have chaos. [linked] Under these conditions, robbery’s a piece of cake.
18 - Compared to the end of the world, money’s more my thing~~ Aside: Super— Guy aside: One— two— three—[clef] - Whatever Vritra’s planning, it’s a perfect cover for us. [linked] And even if Deva do notice, it’ll be blamed on Vritra.
Agni: Fire is powerful, and with the passage of time it becomes a formidable foe, but… Agni: …as long as it is used properly, everyone can benefit from it. Yet… Agni: …you use it to hurt others out of greed!
19 Agni: Asura wielding the power of fire!! Agni: I, Agni, guardian of the southeast and god of fire, will not forgive you!!
- Agni~~? So you’re a Deva. [linked] The Ashram circle didn’t react, did it? - Your Avatar ain’t around, huh? Agni: Huh!?
Agni: What do I do now? I got this far on guts alone!
- Fool, what’d you come here for?
20 Agni: Kyah!
- Ahahahaha!!
- You said you’re Agni? Then you’re one of Lokapala! - Revealing yourself without an Avatar is the height of stupidity!!
- I… I don’t want the world to end yet! - I still haven’t had a proper relationship!!
- If only… - I had an Avatar like Vayu and Indra…
- Ooooh, one whole fried fire god coming up!!
22 Linked: The water pipes… - The fire’s… going out!
- One, - simply put, I like girls.
23 - Two, - I’m tirelessly devoted to girls.
- Three, [linked] delicate good girls… - are my business!!
- Who the heck … [linked] The steam is obscuring my vision! - Oh my?
- Heeey, dollar lighter dude! - Dollar!? - Take that ability to a camping ground and do people some good with it there!!
24 - Don’t look down on me, you!!
- Those who would bully a cute girl…
25 - deserve to be stuck in limbo for eternity!!
- In an instant, my flames…
- That ability! Are you Varna, the water Deva!?
28 - Right then.
- Oh my? - Mizuki— - Mizuki-chaaan, where are youuu?
Agni: Uh…
Agni:…hn.
28 Agni: Noooooo!!
- Whoa— I didn’t do anything! It’s okay! [linked] I just saved you!
Agni: Eh, [linked] you saved… me? Agni: From the Asura? Agni: How…?
- I should ask you, why were you at a place like that? Agni: Eh…
Agni: I have to keep things like Deva and Asura a secret from normal people… Agni: At the scene of today’s fire, I saw some people who seemed to be the culprits and followed them.
- Hoho— you got a keen sense of justice there! Agni: Thank you very much. [linked] I have to be off…
Agni: Ah…!
29 - Nonetheless, - overdoing it is forbidden, young miss.
- It’s… like my heart is being squeezed?
- Aah, - boy or girl, it no longer matters…
- I want… - this person to be my Avatar.
30 - Sanae-chan. Sanae: Oh!
Sanae: Alright, time to go! Agni: Ah… wai…
- I got my heart broken way too early!!! Box: The instant she completely lost her purpose.
Box: As for her original purpose, she didn’t notice as she didn’t come into contact with the Ashram circle.
31 Sanae: Where did you go, Mizuki~~~! Mizuki: Seeing as I get soaked whenever Sanae-chan fights, I maintained a distance that was barely within the Ashram circle. Sanae: Taha—!
Mizuki: By the way, that was an unbelievably girly girl. She’s just your type, Sanae-chan. Sanae: Are you jealous? You’re so cute, Mizuki! Mizuki: I told you over and over, I don’t lean that way.
32 Sanae: …In any case, was it just a coincidence? [linked] That piece of s***. To think we followed them and ended up in this city. Mizuki: True.
- I feel like we’re heading toward the heart of a huge vortex. - Deva Varna and her Avatar, what are they after!?
- Continued in chapter 19
33 - Next time - Team of two girls vs / Kurando & Lisa!! - A team of two girls who could be Deva appear in front of Kurando and co., who’re searching for Lokapala comrades.

01----- Text in square brackets: Popcorn Avatar
- Mafuyu and me are twins. - Born on the same day, - with the same blood running through our veins, having the same face.
- When I was a kid, I thought - mother’s kindness was given to each of us equally. - Until the day I injured Mafuyu terribly—
Text on left of page: The little sister left by mom’s side, the big brother who left mom’s side. There’s still a long way to go until they become “family” once more…
02----- - Ever since that day, mother began to distance herself from me. - Thinking back now, Mafuyu was habitually distanced as much as possible from anything that caused anxiety for her.
- But the distance between mother and me, - in which Mafuyu was stuck, - created a dark shadow in her heart.
- Even though both mother and I care deeply about Mafuyu, there was nothing either of us could do… - but… - When I’m with Lisa, and she tells me I can do something, I start thinking that I really might be able to do it…
03----- Middle text: The unexpected meeting is leads up to a battle…
- Chapter 17: Mother and son
Text to left of page: Newest volume number 3 on sale now!!! Lots of goddesses are waiting for you [heart]
04----- - That day, we headed to the hospital where mom worked so I could meet her. That’s when, Box: me and Lisa met Vritra. Text on building: Yakumo General Hospital - Battle against Vritra! Which side will win!?
- The hell that’s immortality! It’s nothing more than your injuries healing faster than normal!! - We can do this, Lisa! - We’ll take them down right now and put an end to all this!!
05----- - I can make the wind move according to my will now! - I’ve become stronger!
- Anira! (wind’s breath)
06----- - Anira!! (wind’s breath)
- It’s true Kurando is using the wind better than I expected… - …but, - this isn’t enough!
07----- - You think I’d stand back and let you destroy the world Mafuyu’s in!? - If you hate it so much, why don’t you siblings be the ones to disappear!!!
- Come out, Jagannath!!!
08----- - Just call and I’ll come flying. Namasteee!! [Jagannath is so cute!]
09----- - Wh, why’s he… - Lisa!?
- It’s bin a while— [That ain’t a typo. Just tryin’ ta translate his accent ^_^] - As fer the kiddies over yonder, nice ta meetcha.
- Geh, Vritra-yan! [note –yan is Osaka dialect for -chan]
- The one possessing complete jurisdiction over the management of the rules of battle, God Jagannath. - I have something to ask of you, the God of Judgement.
- I request the outcome of the current battle be rendered null and void!
10----- - You’ve gotta be kidding me. Lisa! What are you doing!? - Just a little more… just a little more and we would’ve won!!
- Vritra! You were saying “we have no intention to fight”. - Don’t ignore me! - That is, it would be troublesome having me, a Deva, disappear when Kurando loses, am I right?
- In that case, will you agree to this for the sake of our mutual understanding?
- … you have a point. Jagannath, my request is the same.
11----- - If Lisa… - If Lisa tells me I can… - If Lisa expects it of me, then there’s no way I can disappoint her. That’s what I thought, yet…!! - Understood.
- I will not defeat you completely here. [linked] However, “immortality” is not the only ability Vritra has. I shall show you another.
12----- - I’ve obtained permission from both sides, and that means [linked] be they Deva or Asura, the loser ain’t gonna be vanishing! - That’s all settled. Fight nicely now, kids!
- …Lisa, - surely you don’t think I can’t win…?
- squeeze
13----- - What the hell is going on…
- Don’t underestimate me…!
- Everyone’s so... It’s pissing me off!!
- Sparsana! (wind’s touch)
- Kurando!
14---- Text on building: Yakumo General Hospital
16----- - Aaaaagh!!!
- Kurando!!
- Kurando!
- Blood is… [linked] don’t move! - Ugh… - Urk…
17----- - Well then, - we shall meet again.
- Wait, you! Are you serious!? - Even though those precious to you are right by your side… why do you want to end the world so much!!?
- It has nothing to do with you.
18----- Text on building: Yakumo General Hospital
- Nothing to do with…? You’ve gotta be kidding me!! - Ugh… - I’ll crush you!
- Let me tell ya… - a little of the world…
- Humans have always bin complicated and awkward creatures. - Well. [linked] It can’t be helped that they’re hard to love.
19----- - Bye-bye!
- Ugh…
- Kurando… wait, - what should I do…
- Someone… ambulance…
- Hospital~~~!!! Text on building: Yakumo General Hospital
20----- Text on building: Yakumo General Hospital
- … gh, - Ugh… - Hrggh
21----- - Urg…
- … mm…
- Hello.
Text on badge: Yakumo General Hospital / [can’t make out the words below] / [biggest text] Wada Natsumi - Ah.
- … could she be?
22----- - Lisa…
- Kurando! - You’re awake?
- What a relief~~ It’s a good thing the hospital was close by. - …you stayed all this time? - I came back just now after contacting your grandmother.
- Hm? - Then what was that just now? [linked] Someone was singing “pain pain fly away—“…
- Actually, why am I in a hospital? Text beside bubble: Daze—~~ - Ummm…
- What’s wrong?
23----- - I remember!!!
- I’m sorry… Lisa!! - Even though I knew you’d vanish if I lost!! [linked] What…
- What gave me so much confidence in myself…? - The way I am now… - asking Lisa to believe in me is too much…!
24----- - I believe in you. - We’ll win next time for sure!
- Frankly, we can’t win right now. But they were stopped because Kurando wouldn’t accept their reason for battle. - …I can hear Lisa’s heart thumping… - b-dmp [x 3 more bubbles] - I’ll find out what they’re really thinking the next time we fight.
25----- - Those guys ran out of luck the moment they got me and Kurando involved. - I won’t let them say that it’s nothing to do with us anymore!!
- Wahyah!?
- Erm~~ Kurando-kun - What is it? [linked] That tickles…
- Much, much stronger than I am now. - Then, I’ll win for sure. I’ll think of a way!
27----- - So you’re back to normal now, are… you!! - I’m injured here!?
- What’re you mad about? - It, it’s fine if you don’t get it!!
- Anyways! To reiterate, - We’ll gather the 8 members of Lokapala. [linked] Apart from me, Indra, and Agni, there are 5 more left. - This is the best tactic we can take right now if we wish to triumph!!
28----- - Kff… - Koff koff…
- Big sister, you must be worn out from today’s events. You should rest. [linked] I’ve finished making arrangements at another hospital. - Thank you, Taiga.
29----- - …heehee.
- Big… sister?
- Just remembering when we were playing the part of Vritra before those two. [linked] I couldn’t help wondering if my acting was awful. - How odd. [linked] This incident made me realise that I am just a girl, after all.
- To me, big sister may be Vritra, but above all she is - a 17 year old girl.
30----- - But a 17 year old is still a child, - and a child cannot change the world.
- That is why in place of big sister, - I will battle the world as Vritra’s incarnation.
- The humans manipulating us, the world, fate, [linked] I’ll crush them all to pieces… no, - Not a single scrap will be left behind!!
31----- - Our plans have moved up after today’s exchange. [linked] No doubt they will gather Lokapala immediately. - And when all 8 Deva are gathered…
- The world will end for real.
32----- - Next day. Text on building: Yakumo General Hospital
- Wait a minute, your bones were broken just yesterday! [linked] You sure you want to leave the hospital like that? - I’ll go to another hospital. [linked] It’s a pain when they ask too many questions.
Text outside panel: The distance between mother and son draws a little closer…
- Yeesh~~~ [linked] …you’re not going to meet your mother?
- …It’s fine. - Even if I don’t do it now, I feel like I’m able to come by whenever.
- … When I do, will you come with me again? - Of course [clef]
Text on badge: Wada Natsumi
- Continued in chapter 18
33----- Text above silhouette: Next time - A new fellow Deva is found! - Usually, the combination of Deva (Asura) and Avatar are boy-girl pairings, but these new comrades are… - a grouping of two girls!

01----- - 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!!
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!!

- 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.

02----- - The Asura who, unrestrained, uses criminals to fill the role of their Avatars… and the Deva facing them are…?
03----- - This is the 3rd consecutive day!
- Don’t get distracted! Focus on what’s in front of you.
- But… there really are a lot of Asura.
- There’re so many because Vritra’s matching up Asura and Avatars. - Another convict? They’re really going for quantity over quality.
04----- - Kai-kun, don’t use your ability anymore. - Thunder is loud. That street will soon be packed, I don’t want to attract any attention!
- B, but… - Your reply? - Under…stood.
- Indra! - You intend to make Kurando fight by himself!?
- Yup [heart] - Oho? So the Avatar whom Lisa Lisa fell in love with at first sight isn’t so great after all?
05----- - Urgh…geh!!
- I guess I’m fine with that.
- You got no time for infighting with me as your opponent!!!
- Uh!
06----- - Hyah!!
- Sparsana!! (wind’s touch)
- Huh, - You’re pretty fast…
- Finish him, Kurandooo!!
07----- - Anira!! (Wind’s breath)
- So even Asura can’t give it their all if forced to pair up with an unsuitable Avatar.
- Even so, you’d do Vritra’s bidding?
- There’s no way a nameless Asura like me can rebel against Vritra, can I!
08----- - Let’s go back, Kai-kun.
- Wait a minute, Indra! I got something to sa… - S, sorry. - Next time.
- What’re you thinking! [linked] This isn’t good, you know? What’s with that attitude!? - Kai-kun has it hard too. - Shall we settle this before we defeat the Asura!!?
09----- - You mean settle this with our fists? - Ehe. I don’t not dislike it.
- Wow, Lisa’s using her boobs’ movements to manoeuvre, Text on shorts: tiger - that’s some brilliant fast step rolling!
- Opponent Indra isn’t fighting back! - A fool! She’s completely taking Lisa for a fool!
- Now with neither offense nor defence, a sudden… - cross-counter explodes!! Kurando’s sign: commentary Kai’s sign: clarification
10----- - Next day, in the afternoon— - … that’s the dream I had.
- Dissatisfaction remained after last night’s battle, and I felt sooo awful. Text between Lisa and Kurando: sleep deprived. - What an old-fashioned dream. - Because of Indra? [linked] Or because of Asura?
- Both.
- Even though it’s possible for Asura and their Avatars to have a congenial relationship, - it doesn’t exist between the current Asura and their Avatars
11----- - If it’s me… - I’d want to know more about the partner to whom I’m entrusting my life. I think that’s what we should do.
- That, and—
- about Indra. [linked] Before being reborn, she was captivated by her own overwhelming power, and in the end she became alone because no one could get close to her. - The current… Amano-san, [linked] doesn’t seem like she’ll get like that, so I have to teach her what it’s like to be punched and spitting blood… yeah!!
- She’s not angry, but worried? - That’s just like Lisa.
12----- - Ah!
- About yesterday… Text on bicycle basket: Japan News - well, sorry about a lot of things.
- Going to school, working part time. [linked] This is Indra’s Avatar… - You’re really amazing.
- Eeh? Wha!? I’m not amazing at all! - You’re too weak-willed! [linked] You should tell her off once in a while, tell her off!!
13----- - I can’t tell someone who’s already working hard to work harder~~
- …you’re kidding me! Rein in that arrogant child, will you!! - Well, she probably won’t listen even if he does say something.
- That’s… [linked] Amano-san isn’t as strong as you two think she is.
14----- Sign: Kongou Group - Young Miss! [linked] If you are going out, we will prepare a car…
- Don’t worry about it.
- Please, wait a moment!
- It has been rather unsafe lately. Try not to wander around unprotected… [linked] At the very least have Kai accompany you! - Okaaay.
- Um… I’ll be done with the deliveries in a little while, [linked] if you don’t mind, would you like to drop by the house? - I want to repay you for giving me those snacks before.
- I’m going! - I’m in.
15----- - It…

- seeeeeeeeeet,
16----- - Goooo!
- …huh?
- You got me good, shorties!
- That’s cos you’re too light. [linked] Big bro Kai hasn’t come back yet. - That’s why I come at these times.
17----- - You can’t tell anyone that I come to play when Kai-kun is out, okay? - If you can keep this secret, I’ll buy choux crème for you again!
- Rogeeer!
- Amano-chan is the child today! Bubble to the left: Aww— - I’ll be the lover! - Mistress~~
18----- - Sorry. The house is just inside there, but it looks like we can’t go in. - Wha, what is this sickeningly sweet scene unfolding in front of me!? - Looks like playing house is an established pastime, huh.
- To be oblivious to our presence even when our Ashram circles are overlapping each other, - your guard’s totally down, Indra!
- Whether she’s in the midst of a battle or at her own home, Amano-san is always wound up.
Kai’s sister: Amano-chan, you’re hopeless! If you sleep right after eating… err, Text above head: you’ll become a pig!! - No biggie. Anyways, you said I could take it easy at home. Kai’s brother: You can’t be a bride like that. - Meh, I’ll just be a groom~~~
- So I’m glad she has somewhere where she can let her guard down and relax.
19----- - Since it looks like they’re keeping it secret from me, let’s go kill some time. - Nice guy… - Why can’t a nice guy like this enter his own home?
- Hey, hurry up! - I got it…
- That guy is… - our group’s…
20----- - What do you want? - I seem to recall you coming and going around the house lately.
- Young M, M, Miss… - Uh, - If I bring you along, there’s… a group that’ll welcome me with open arms.
- Shorties, get in the house. - Amano-chan, will you be okay?
- Of course.
21----- - Hmph— - … honestly.
- Just when I wanted to concentrate on thinking up strategies against Vritra… - That’s why blockheaded men are so...
- N, now, come along quiet…
- Don’t touch me. - I don’t want to be touched by a maggot that can only live off other people’s largesse!
22----- - Aah… [linked] urgh…!
- Haa - Haa - Haa
- Uh - For me, a god of thunder, to be defeated by a stun gun…!!

- When you can’t do anything by yourself! [linked] Who’s the one relying on her daddy’s power cuz her old man’s yakuza? - D, don’t get ahead of yourself!!
- … I didn’t wish to have that “power”… - But, [linked] I have no desire for it to be used by brainless fools like you!!
23----- - They told me to bring her unharmed, but… - Ju, just a little should be fine right?
- I’ll teach Young Miss’ body, that, it ain’t good to be stubborn…
24----- - Ka… kai!! - Please, stop this.
- Wha? How… where are the others… huh!? - Looks like they ran and left you behind when witnesses appeared. - Are you alright, Amano-san?
- ~~ Kai-kun, you have permission to use that ability! - Kill that man!!
- So what if it’s contemptible… I’m too angry to care!! - Wh…!
- Don’t kid me!! - Kai hasn’t got a mean bone in his body! I know he can’t do something like that!!
25----- - Just… just when I finally had a chance to climb the ranks…!!
- Kai-kun! - I said you have my permission! - That day…
- That day, when Amano-san used her family’s “power” to help me, - she also told me that I was to protect her.
- I’ve always wondered… - If it is her own “power” that Amano-san fears.
26----- - If a “power” that’s too big is causing Amano-san to suffer, - I will protect Amano-san from it also.
- Ugh…
- What the hell are you blabbering about!!
27----- - Huuuuuh!?
- This kind of electric shock has no effect on me. - Vanish. Never show your face before us ever again.
28----- - Waaaaaaaaaaa! - Deva’s powers can’t be used against ordinary people, so even if she says he can do whatever necessary…
- It’s pretty amazing. Kai really did whatever was necessary. - Right.
- I’m glad Kai-kun is Indra’s Avatar. - With Kai-kun by her side, she won’t revert to the Indra she was before rebirth.
29----- - I… I really like dad and everyone in the group. - Even though it’s a risky family business… [linked] Someday, I want everyone to have happiness like normal people…
- That’s why, - for the sake of that day, I cannot even entertain the thought of losing to Asura.
- Please, Kai-kun, until that day comes… - We’ll always be together. [linked] I am Amano-san’s Avatar, after all.
30----- - …Um, Kai-kun. I’m saying this now just in case, you can’t talk about what happened today to anyone!! - Huh? - Especially to someone like Lisa!!
- Ah, - Um, er~~~ - What!? Why are you looking away!?
- Ohohohohoho

01----- - “Avatar”. Originating in Sanskrit, it has the meaning of “incarnation”. - Those Deva and Asura who have been reborn are unable to use their powers on their own, - so they must choose an Avatar (a normal human) to fight in their stead.
Text along left side of page: Popcorn Avatar
- If they lose, their existence will vanish. Thus for Deva and Asura…
02----- - choosing an Avatar on whom they’ll be betting their own lives is a very important matter. Text beside Kurando: Volumes 1 ~ 2 on sale now!! / Volume 3 goes on sale in June!! Text across the two: The earth’s population is approximately 6.8 billion. Probability of 2 people meeting would be – a 1/6800000000 chance. Chapter title: Chapter 14: Choosing a partner is vital.

Text along left of page: Deva, Asura, Avatar… and?
04----- - A pharmaceutical company that boasts the highest domestic market share in Japan… - Ryuudou Pharmaceuticals. Sign: Ryuudou Pharmaceuticals
- As illegitimate children of Ryuudou’s president, the siblings were officially welcomed into the family 5 years ago. - The elder sister, Ryuudou Kyouka, is the reincarnation of an Asura called Vritra, who is said to be the origin of calamities. - And the younger brother who also takes the role of her Avatar, Ryuudou Taiga. Even at such a young age, he acts as a special consultant of the company…
- What a touching life story. - Furthermore, their intention is…
05----- - to take this disease-ridden world, - through the Asura’s victory, - and heal and reconstruct it anew.
- A vague idea full of petty idealism, when it’s put into words. - …well, maybe that’s how people with such special powers think.
- It’s best to allow things to proceed according to the Ryuudou siblings’ will. [linked] Those special powers are wasted on an Avatar-less Asura.
- This is where I, of the Metropolitan Police Department, shall inject realism into their plan.
- From this dangerous persons watchlist that I hold, - I can provide Avatars aplenty.
06----- - Disposable pawns are required in the process of creating a new world. They are the perfect candidates.
- Big brother, I wonder if he’s coming out soon…
- Bye bye Tabe-chaaan. - Mm. I’ll be going— - Hm?
07----- - Wada-kun is… cross dressing!?
- Um~~~ - Y, yes!
- Heeeeey, Wada’s comiiiing!
08----- - What? Why am I being treated like this these days?
- Eroterrorist Wada-sama, will you be flipping skirts again today? - Huh!?
Asteriks: Explanation - Before, his mind reverted to the age of 9 (in a 16 year old body), and completed the dubious task of flipping up all the girls’ skirts. Now all the girls are wary of him. - …Honestly,
- I said I had no interest in your bodies. Box: Dug his own grave. - What’s with that way of phrasing!? [linked] How mean! - Don’t compare us with Lisa’s nice body, idiot!!
- C, compare, there’s no way… [linked] It’s not as if I like overly gigantic boobies… Box: Confused.

- Ooh!

- I know, she’s very important to you.
- Geez!

- Wada-kun’s really overprotective. - …huh? [linked] The sister’s uniform, it’s from Ryouka Girls’… middle school division.
- The alert from Kurando’s twin sensor yesterday, [linked] and the feeling me and Indra had… - And now that it turns out the ex-Asura Avatar Ryou is involved somehow,
- It’d be useless to tell him not to worry.
- Um… here.
15----- - Thank you about before. - Were you able to remember what happened yesterday?
- I was on my way to where big brother was… [linked] and the next thing I knew Kajiwara-san was taking me home… - Hmmm.
- That’s a pretty convenient method of forgetting. - Yesterday— - A fool Asura had kidnapped and taken this girl to the roof of a building, where the thing I had been looking for…
16----- - was displayed beyond my expectations. - Nooooooooooooo!!
- Ah!?
- I’m in Ashram’s circle! - Is she… Asura, or Deva!?
17----- - What the hell is this!? - Nothingness… - I don’t know which way is up or down. - …what I do know is that feelings are seeping into my body.
- Fear, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, are these her feelings?
18----- - The hell? What’re you looking at?
- I am Shiva… and also Mafuyu. I have been sealed, when fear or suffering breaks Mafuyu’s heart, my “power” - will bring about “oblivion” that overwhelm even Avatars.
- The world’s existence, - and those who realise it will disappear.
19----- - Become unfeeling… - is that also Mafuyu’s wish…
- Huuuh~~~? I dunno if you’re Asura or Deva, - but I didn’t hear your opinion, nor do I want to understand.
- The existence of fear and suffering is proof that you’re alive! - You think I’d make this world vanish after I finally found happiness in it!?
20----- - You are not Shiva… - I’m asking you!!
- You want to despair so much that you don’t realise there’s no longer anything in this world!? - So you’re satisfied with escaping to a place like this where nothing exists!?
- Answer me!!!
- …ah, - I…
21----- - I’m back…! - …actually, was it just my consciousness that entered this girl?
- You really surprised us there! - Anyhow, let’s crush them. An eye for an eye!!
- What’s this? Looks like a snotball.
22----- - Whoooa— that was bad, that was bad. [linked] One little grain made that Asura disappear along with one third of the building. - A power that overwhelms even Avatars… indeed. If she awakens, it might just make a planet vanish…
- Interesting.
- Kurando’s twin sister. Text beside neck: Seems like a part of her mind is unstable. - An ability that has to be sealed away.
23----- - Ah…!
- Did you think I wouldn’t attack you?
- Someone who can become big brother’s friend must be a good person.
- Haha! - Weird reason.
- Also, someone who really does it wouldn’t talk about it. - I see, that’s true.
24----- - Hey, sorry for the wait.
- Ma, ma, Mafuyu are you okay? He didn’t do anything weird to you? - Of course not.
- Listen up. - Mrgh.
- Mafuyu thinks we’re friends.
- See you, Mafuyu.
- Y, yes! - Don’t say her name so casually!!
25----- - What was that about really? - I came to return something I borrowed.
- Hm— - I don’t feel anything out of the ordinary now… was I thinking too much?
- …Mafuyu. She’s too interesting to leave alone. - I’ll keep this quiet from Kurando [clef] [smaller text] Cos he’s got a sister complex.

Indra’s father: Amano, go to your room. Indra: I’m home, papa. - Stop calling me papa.
- Papa, I am already a member of the family. - I would like to know about the circumstances surrounding the family.
28----- - Well then, let’s continue our talk. [linked] I didn’t come all this way just to visit.
- We banished a man called “Kureha” from our group. - I didn’t know about his release from prison, and furthermore, we hear he’s been displaying the group’s tattoos.
- Because he’s strayed from the path, I wanted to tell you before he caused any trouble. - That blockheaded bull…
- What's more, there are others whom both we and the public servants are keeping an eye on… - and we’ve come to suspect there must be somebody hiding them.
29----- - … the most troubling is, - that someone somewhere is directing their movements.
- No doubt about it. - It’s Vritra!
- Oh! You’re pretty good at this. - Thank you, Sir. - Kai-kun, a moment!
- Yes.
30----- - Hee…heeheehee… - A, Amano-san, what’s wrong? - I got it… [linked] Vritra doesn’t like gathering Avatars…!

- It’s the truth. - The past won’t disappear, so I’ll take whatever you dish out. - But first, I’ll protect Mafuyu no matter what.
14----- - Kurando…
- Hmph.
- ~~ah, - One more thing.
- So what that the senpai you admire has changed? You’re too narrow-minded! - Blind to all else but the one above you – being admired by someone like you is troublesome for that senpai too.
- Okay, here. Cleaning request. [linked] If you don’t pay, I’ll chase you even unto hell.
15----- - …Kurando’s walking around dressed in drag.
- Hoho~~o, so he has that kind of hobby… - as if. [linked] But they really do look alike.
16----- - I finally bought it after lining up at the popular patisserie! - Big brother still likes Purin [a kind of pudding], right?
17----- - Hey! I told you not to harm normal people! - Shut up, what’s wrong with it!
- I don’t get it~~this smell. - This heavenly scent. - Do you understand!? - Moreover, this decadent scent the atmosphere is fraught with…
- Eek! - I’m intrigued~~~
18----- - I wanna eat her~~!! Bubble cutting panels: K,
- Ugh… - Why do I, an Asura, have to pair up with this kind of guy!? - Kyaaaa!!
- Help me, big brother!!
20----- - Really. You and Kurando are like mirror images.
- M, motorbike? - On the rooftop!? - Now then, first things first—
- Are you Asura? - Or Deva?
21----- - Why…do you!?
- It doesn’t matter which you are. - Cos you look pretty weak.
- I don’t know who you are, but it seems the best course of action to take is to get rid of you. - Do it! - Here it comes!!
- Hm, I see both your appearance and your ability are garbage.
22----- - Uh… - Uh-oh!
- Gurgh!
- Guh!?
23----- - Geglargh!!!
- So you don’t vanish if you’re defeated by a mere human? - Gu…gugu… - You’re free to go wherever you like.
- No, wait, I got it! - Introduce me to some strong Asura or Deva!
- What’s with you!?
- I’m just a high schooler with time on his hands.
- Uh, - Guh…
24----- - Gua haai heeein ga hegegh! (You’re finally feeling the effects) - Hm? - Gai gahaiha, (My saliva) he hoihohouh!! (is poisonous)
26----- - What? - Is this? - No, - way. - I don’t understand. - I don’t want to understand.
- I’m scared… - I want to believe this is just a bad dream.
- Always when I have a bad dream, big brother would hold my hand, - and the feeling of safety would flow over me…
- Ever since my birth, something within me has been overflowing… - It overflows and I am no longer me… I become completely emotionless…
27----- - …nooooooo!!

- What a vivid dream…
- I’m in a cold sweat!
- …no, that wasn’t a dream.
- It was a memory.
- Even though the scene was so clear, there was one thing… - I can’t remember what Mafuyu said after that.
06----- - The heck, is this another dream? - To have a dream like this, I must be really screwed up.
07----- - Idiooooot!!! - Oof!!? - It’s no dream!
- Oww… I got elbowed in the face - and it’s still so early in the morning. - It’s already noon!!
- And why would you be in someone else’s bathroom? - That’s all you have to say after seeing my perfect body? A whole heap of complaints!? - Lisa-chan was helping me prepare lunch, but upturned a sugar jar for pickling on her head…
- 30min earlier
08----- - So uncouth.
- Shut it, crude boy.
- Your clothes are drying right now, so in the meantime wear that. - Cru… - Yeees, grandma.
- This is the first time I’ve worn a yukata, I’m very happy [clef] - Because Lisa-chan is tall. - It suits you well. [linked] Right? Kurando.
09----- - This must be another kind of cosplay. - Mm. - I guess… - Wow! So honese! - My, so he is. That’s rare coming from this kid.
- Oh, [linked] we gotta go Kurando! [linked] Grandma, thanks for the food. I’ll drop by again. - Go where?
- Kurando.
- Seeing your expression when talking to Lisa, [linked] grandma feels relieved.
- That so?
10----- - … Bridge Park [the first kanji is too hard to make out]

- But I didn’t know they were in touch with each other.
- There she is! - Maaafuyu-chaaaan[heart]
- Lisa-san, what a lovely yukata! - Your grandma helped me put it on [clef] - I see. Grandma does a class for how to wear traditional clothing. - Wow~~! Then let’s both wear kimono on New Years [heart] Kurando: Did the sugar from the jar get through?
12----- - You seem well.
- Yes, very well! - And big brother’s complexion’s become brighter!
- Complexion… - Mafuyu-chan, listen to this, Kurando he… - Big brother is so… - What kinda talk is that!!
13----- - What are you drinking, Kurando? - Water. - …how much do you weigh? - I reckon… over 45kg? - What!? You gotta gain more weight!!
- Ahahahaha!
- Mafuyu seems to be enjoying herself. - I shouldn’t ask her now.
- It’s nagging at me. - Mafuyu’s words at that time, which I can’t remember…
- Oh yeah, big brother! - Mother said you should show your face at home once in a while.
14----- - What face is that?
- Big brother is always like this.
- Mafuyu-chan!? [linked] Wai…
- The truth is, mother has completely rejected me… - but… because she treasures Mafuyu, she doesn’t have the heart to tell her.
15----- - Letting Mafuyu get injured [linked] left mother with painful memories, I understand that! - But, I! [linked] Even though me and Mafuyu are twins…!
- There are things in this world that can’t be done no matter how hard you try!! - I don’t want to yet I know it well… [linked] Running away from mother and Mafuyu, I can’t do anything…!!
- Kurando can do it!!!
16----- - But for now, go after Mafuyu-chan!! - Or you’ll be hated!!!
- Kuh…!
- There’s just no helping it, sheesh!
17----- - Dammit! [linked] This park to too gigantic and complicated, geez!
- …that was the first time I had say something like that to me.
- But, [linked] for Lisa to say I’ll be hated… - She’s a difficult one.
18----- - Beg pardon.
- No, it’s my fault… - Ah.
- Did you see a female [other guy] / girl [Kurando] with long black hair? - Eh?
- I’m really worried~~ - Should I follow them~~? [linked] No, no, this is where Kurando has to step in!
19----- - I’m looking for my older sister. [linked] She has a weak constitution, so I’m worried…
- Eh, ah! - Well, I made my little sister mad, and she might’ve gone this way… - What am I saying?
- This is the first time I’ve been in this park, and I don’t really know where to search. - Same here! - How about this! We’ll each keep an eye out for the other.
- If we find someone that fits the description then, umm…[linked] we’ll meet up at the clocktower at the center of this park to exchange. - Okay.
- I hope we find them. - Me too!
20----- - Big brother is always like this. [linked] When there’s something painful or that he doesn’t like, - he squints up his eyes as if he doesn’t see them.
- I can’t… - stand it with just the two of us, mother and I… - Mafuyu!!!
21----- - Why is it a bridge again!? - Huff… - Rasp… - Huff… - If I don’t say something…
- It’s dangerous! You’ll fall! - Uh, - No good, it’s just like that time!! - Umm…
- Lisa told me she wanted me!!
22----- - Lisa is always completely open and sincere about her feelings! - Big brother? - Sincerely laughing, sincerely angry… and she’s also sincere when she’s beating me up! [linked] Lisa won’t ever lie to herself or to me!!
- When… when I want to give up because I can’t do something, - Lisa is there to tell me I can do it!
- I… - don’t dislike being with Lisa!!
23----- - Huh!? [linked] For some reason what’s coming out of my mouth isn’t what I’m thinking!?
- …Mafuyu?
- Ahahahahahah! - Wow, geez big brother! - I heard a super embarrassing confession!!
- H, - Heey, don’t laugh so hard in that kind of place, it’s dangerous…
- Geez~~~
- Ah…
24----- - Mafuyu!! - Why do these kinds of things always happen to us!!
- I remember! I’m so dim-witted… - Running away by myself, deliberately forgetting Mafuyu’s words!!
25----- - That day was grandpa’s funeral, but grandma was the only one sad. - Mother and the relatives kept squabbling, and I couldn’t stand being in that place any longer…
- I brought Mafuyu with me to that bridge. - And between us, - we talked about whether we’d also become the kind of adults who won’t be sad no matter who dies.
- I feel sad when big brother is sad. But— - But, if we became completely emotionless, won’t that be the saddest thing of all? - I don’t make you think those things anymore!!!
26----- - Mafuyu.
- Kya…! - No way! We’re flying!? - B, big brother…
27----- - It’s alright. - Big brother!
- It won’t be happening anytime soon, but… - I’ll go see mother. And you. [linked] I have a lot of things I want to say.
- So everything’s alright now…
28----- - Big brother, you were flying in the sky just now weren’t you!?
- I know you’re here, come out, Lisa!
- Ehehehehe… - You found me out?
- I flew. [linked] So it was obvious, idiot.
29----- - Ever since we were little, - for me, and for Mafuyu,
- Being able to see Kurando’s face when he’s genuinely smiling is…
- Hey, hey, how were you able to do something so extraordinary? - …I’ll explain that too someday. [linked] Not today, I’m wiped out… - Heeheeheeheehee. - Lisa, you should see your face right now.
30----- - Kurandooo, why are we back here again? - Nothing, just a little…
- Heeey.
31----- - How about you? Still can’t find her? [linked] We can look together… - She’s already resting in the car. [linked] I was just worried about you guys.
- I see. - That’s good.
- Just looking out for each other. - Well then…
- Who? [linked] You know him? - No, I don’t.
32----- - Sorry about today. I caused trouble for you. - Don’t worry about it.
Text down right side of page: Enemies who didn’t know each other’s faces helping each other out. Is their meeting a coincidence? We’ll see…

- This is neither the time nor place for that.
- Wind’s power isn’t having any effect on that bull-headed idiot…
- Even though I can move around, the inside of this room is the limit. - Even worse, Kai tells me [linked] he has to hold back the thunder cos we’re surrounded by metal…
05----- - What’s this? - It feels like we’re on a stage with someone pulling our strings from behind the scenes?
- It’s not the enemy before us… - Is it Vritra!?
- I’m furious, dammit! - Ah,

06----- - Anira! (Wind’s breath)
- Provata… (Head wind)

Kai: Kurando-kun!!
- Water and thunder… - Now listen up, you brats!!

- An grown man saying those things, what’s wrong with him?
- It has nothing to do with being an adult. [linked] Honestly, the Avatars on the side of the Asura are a bunch of idiots!
09----- - You don’t even realise you’re being used by Vritra!!
- What’d you say damn brat!!

12----- - That’s enough, stop now, Kurando! - Guh… - This guy was just saying he’d harm our families. [linked] We should make it so he doesn’t have the guts to even think it again.
- Don’t be so uptight about it.
- Stop… kidding around!! - There’s no need to eliminate someone who’s already been thoroughly defeated!
13----- - You got complaints then voice them now!!!
- …tch.
- Waaah… I hate everything.
- Ah… - Leave her alone.
14----- - You sure about using such a low level Avatar? - No problem.
- What we need isn’t to intimidate them into submission, - rather, we wish to keep them on their toes with these daily skirmishes. - …pfft.
- What? - Oh, that was rude of me…
- I was thinking that despite your young age, you’re pretty well versed in using time to your advantage… - I understand.
15----- - We, the Metropolitan Police Department, are not in agreement about this matter. - It is at my discretion that [linked] Avatars are continuing to be supplied to you.
- For the future we envision.
16----- - What happened with those two? - Wada is the same as usual, - but Lisa… - I wish they wouldn’t fight. There are others in the class too after all.
- I didn’t think I’d be this irritated about enemies not showing up. - …and Lisa, [linked] I’m sure there’s still something she isn’t telling me.
17----- - Damn Kurando! [linked] Deva using the same methods as Asura doesn’t mean anything! [linked] Anxiety? There’s no way!!
- If we lose, I’ll disappear from this world. - Kurando…
- Kurando… - Not telling him “that” might be selfish of me…
Blackboard: self study
- Hey Wada~~ go apologise to Lisa. - Huh!? - Even if you’re not in the wrong, do a dogeza! [linked] When Lisa gets angry the whole atmosphere in the class gets so heavy it’s unbearable.

- Kurando, - the incident that shaped the current Kurando, where Mafuyu-chan fell from that bridge, happened. - I— have no desire for him to return to what he used to be like.
30----- - It’s just, what I received from Kurando at that time, - I’d like to give something similar to the current Kurando.
- Not just anyone is fine. Ever since that day, my Avatar was intended to be Kurando.
31----- - You won’t get away!!!
- Don’t get above yourself!!
- Wada, you alive!?
Linked bubble: I… what was I doing? - Wada’s back to normal!! [smaller text] disappointed
32----- - From this day forth, Wada Kurando - would receive the fervent support of certain guys, - and be viewed by girls in the same light as they would a bug.
- …the current Kurando probably has no memory of what happened then. - I want to ask, but I don’t… want to.
- Kurando, I want to talk. Come with me.
- A fight? A fight?
33----- - The Avatar who loses will lose his memory? - Sorry I kept it from you.
- Then the Avatars of the Asura we defeated… - won’t remember their time as an Avatar.
- I couldn’t say it in the beginning, [linked] because… - to Kurando, memories are sad, painful things…
- With Lisa’s personality, taciturnity feels weird coming from her… - No um, - what I want to say is…
34----- - The way I am, I might not seem anxious or anything, [linked] but I’m often serious! - And… I want you to believe one thing!!
- Kurando is the only one for me!!
35----- - I, - that is… [linked] Because of Lisa, my reasons for not losing have increased! So…
- What do you mean? - …I can’t express this very well—
- I said my part. [linked] You have to say your part too. - We should go back to class.
- Say it, be a man—!! - Uh!
- Ouch! - Quit nagging me, Lisa!!
36----- - You’re not getting away until you say it~~~[heart]

04----- - Information is key! [linked] Asura girl! Please tell me about the current Vritra! What do they look like and how old are they? - Oh, cola for me. Calorie free, with a slice of lemon.
- They wear school uniforms, if it isn’t cosplay then they’re probably around the same age as you guys. - Their faces were shadowed so I couldn’t see very well. - Vegetable juice for me, no ice.
- The site through which contact was made was shut down. [linked] No clues will be found at the place where you directly met up since it’s a public facility. - Hot darjeeling tea. The cup should be warmed first.

Text beside Kai: I’m entering a store naked again… - Explain to me why the Asura we were just fighting is here with us!?
06----- - …But isn’t that immortality ability a joke? - After all, even being immortal, Vritra was defeated so many times by Indra.
- Don’t underestimate the power of regeneration. [linked] Even when scattered into bits no bigger than an atom, she still comes back to life— - According to the rules, can’t you make her admit defeat and solve everything that way?
- You think an immortal being with their own agenda… would admit defeat so easily?
- I guess not…
- Hmmmm - Amano-san? - Then…
07----- - Gather all 8 members of “Lokapala”, was that what you were going to say? [Lokapala – Guardians of the Directions] - Oh my, we’re on the same wavelength for the first time ever [heart]
- It’s gonna be hard work. They could be anywhere in the world, if we’re unlucky. - In the world? - Loka… [linked] pala? -Lokapala, get the 8 of us together and we’ll achieve the desired end by fair means or foul!
- I don’t care what means you use. - So there’s Lisa and Indra, and once the other 6 are gathered [linked] the Asura will all be vanquished, right?
08----- - I wish you wouldn’t make Asura out to be such bad guys. [linked] There are also those like me who, after being born as Asura, feel that there’s something they must do. - Asura’s memories instil duty… - Quit acting like you’re the victim here.
- Kurando! - Down!!!
- Down?
- I’m fight because I have people I want to protect, not because I feel duty bound to do so. Text above Indra: Wooow, just like a dog - Don’t misuse “power” just because you’re Asura.

12----- - A long time ago, - a time that humans have forgotten.
- In actuality, both Deva and Asura are essential to the formation of this world. - Deva for evolution, Asura for elimination. - Creation and destruction.
- Most of the time Deva dominated the struggle between them,
- Unrestrained, the world’s plants and animals flourished and evolved.
13----- - But with the appearance of the Asura Vritra, - The power balance between Deva and Asura became very delicate.
- This balance led to a standstill. - In the meantime humans prospered, and came to dominate the world as its master.
- And now, once again— - The world is teetering between continuance and oblivion. - The battle between Deva and Asura, [linked] into which humans are now drawn, moves toward its conclusion.
14----- - Who on earth is Agni!? My name is Kotohara Ren! - You have to believe me, Fuji-kun! [linked] These people belong to a new religion that believes in crackpot ideas like gods being reborn!
- Quit feigning ignorance, Agni!! Label: Desperate - Plus you’re with a guy who looks like Avatar material!
- Fuji-kun isn’t an Avatar, he’s my boyfriend! [linked] Why does a high school girl in the flush of her youth have to fight, anyway?
- Why, she says. - Seems even a fellow Deva who’s been reborn needs a reason.
- This is bad!!! [linked] To bump into Indra and Vayu like this… - Ren-chan.
15----- - I believe you! [linked] This is fate. - Because I was born for the purpose of protecting you!!
Text above Kai: Ohhh— - Too hasty.
- This guy has no idea what he’s getting into… - Oh well. - Who cares.
16----- - Some days later—
- Wellll, our feelings for each other became even stronger since that happened.
- Do, do, dori⃝’s… - Ah, it’s from Indra. - No fair! Leaving me alone with them!!
- Yes, I am the angel who protects his goddess. - Our love will create a “miracle” for the world to witness!
17----- - Senpai, senpai! - Senpai?
Linked bubble: Avatar senpai. Just leave the rest to me! - After all, senpai doesn’t seem like a main character. - What’re you babbling about?
- Kurando! We’re going.
- Indra intercepted the police radio, she says there’s an eyewitness account of a non-human entity at the scene of the accident. - intercepted…
18----- Car: Police
- Indra! - …Call me Amano when there’s others around.
- With 6 counts of traffic accidents where the car suffers the worst, it’s this city’s most restricted place. - It’s definitely an Asura’s doing. The objective is…
- That would be…
19----- - a trap set by Vritra to lure us out? - It’s despicable to contemplate, but you’re probably right.
Sign: Demolition works Text on left of plus sign: safety Vertical sign: No entry
- Gehahahahaha! - You got here ealier than I thought, smart kiddies!!
20----- - Overcoming the turbulence of society is the easiest work in the world for me~~ - Wow papa, such serenity, that’s the charm adults have~~ [heart]
- That’s… - definitely the leader of Houjinkai, who was just released from prison… But why is he here?
- Idiot couple [clef] - You can talk.
- Now, what shall I make… - Hmm?
21----- - They ain’t Vritra!! [small text] They’re not students.
- Hey, you know, Vayu is the god of wind. [linked] That Avatar is able to use the wind to fly and attack!!
22----- - What did you do that for!? - Just try and harm a single hair on my cute Mahisha-chan’s head. - Your parents, siblings, I’ll sink the whole lot of them in Tokyo Bay. [more angular text] Get ready!!! - The princess carry was amazing~~ do it again~~ [heart]
23----- Asteriks: {note} Fuji-kun
- I’ll teach you the terror of adults!!
- This is where everyone should work together right? Then, without further ado, [linked] Kai-kun!
24----- - Buooo~~ - Papa!
- Indra is the god of thunder. [linked] Before being reborn, she had the worst personality and the strongest ability. - Vayu was pretty violent too, so they’re birds of a feather!
- As for me, Kotohara Ren aka Agni, I am the god of fire… - I originally had no intention of getting involved in these sort of battles… but if I’m with Fuji-kun… [linked] A girl with the fire of love burning in her heart is invincible!
25----- - Go Kurando go go Kurando!!
- Make sure you stay within Ashram’s sphere! - I’m used to it … - That outfit just feels normal now.
- Even though most of the building is in Ashram’s sphere, - make sure to watch out for obstacles when flying!
26----- - Anira!! (Wind’s breath)
- It itches!!
- Sparsana! (Wind’s touch)
- ugh…
27----- - Tch… it sure is hard to move around inside…
- I can’t focus the thunder… [linked] also it’s faster than I imagined!
- Kai-kun!
- You can’t beat me with a toothstick like that!!
- Ugh!
28----- - Anira!! (Wind’s breath)
- Let me explain, - he was helping him…I think.
- Yes… yes I’m sure that was it. I’ll just make a note in my Revenge Notebook though. - Huh!? Revenge!? - Ashram is the sphere in which our ability can be used by our Avatar, mine has a 37.5m radius. - But as I’ll be sticking close by you like always, there’s nothing to worry about [heart]
29----- - Well, Mahisha-chan, this is an adult’s strength. - Papa’s so cool! I love you!
- You know… - I’m sorry! I’m sorry! - Nah, on the other hand, [linked] can you stop holding back when you release the thunder? [linked] It doesn’t matter if I get hit too.
- That’s not… there’s too much metal in this place and the thunder gets scattered… [linked] also, my power is lacking. - If I stop holding back, it’s likely that everyone will get shocked.
- That’s a problem. - So, what now?
30----- - Can’t think of anything…
- Go for it, Kurando!! - I’m going. - Think, Kurando!! - I’m thinking.
- Hmmm!? - What a dull reaction. Maybe I should try a different approach.
- Seeing Kurando~~ working so hard for her~~~[clef] - Lisa Lisa is super happy [heart]
31----- - I’m sorry. [linked] I dunno why, but I’ll apologise. I’m sorry. - Unforgivable! - That reaction is unforgivable!
- Kai-kun is a good boy too. - Yes!
- What’s with them!? [linked] Is it that? The girly man that’s in vogue lately!! - Papa is a completely manly man [heart]
32----- - Young men today! A Japanese male, being made to follow three steps behind a female!! - I’ll pound what it means to be a man into you!!!
- I don’t wanna be preached to by a guy I’m gonna defeat. - We’re now completely off topic. Text beside Lisa: Is it my fault?
- Aah, I kinda understand. A guy who allows me to drag him around is good too!
- Like Fuji-kun… Text in outline: gone - Eh? Panel bottom: The fire of a girl in love, where’s it going?

01----- - Deva defeat Asura. That seems about right. - Back to the fight between Indra (Deva) and Asura. - Indra’s Avatar was too hesitant to make a move, and Asura’s Avatar was a really bad guy.
- Even so, cutting into the fight and sending Asura’s Avatar flying … Text beside panel: What just appeared!?
- Choriiiissu! [Chorissu – a greeting. It’s slang, similar in meaning to konnichiwa] - I am Jagannath!! Text below Jagannath: A battle [heart] fantasy portraying the battle between gods and the demon race!! - was definitely wrong.
02----- Text on Lisa’s right: Volume 1 in stores now!!!!!! Text on Kurando: Chapter 9: Penalty - Bare feet and high socks –like getting two birds with one stone. Come, let your heart be soothed too……
03----- - A bad kid, who’s been a bad kid? - Bad kids will be punished.
- By me!
- What’ll become of the world when promises aren’t kept? - As a human!
Text beside bubble: Colour me surprised. - As a human?
- What the heck is this weirdly shaped Kansai-accented old dude? - Not old dude! Call me pops!! [linked] You picking a fight, kid!?
04----- - Judgement god Jagannaaaath. [linked] The god who preserves order in the battles between Deva and Asuraaaa. Label: Monotone - Todaaay, he has come to punish the one who broke the promise of a one-on-one battle which was agreed on between Indra and one Asura girlllll…
Text above Indra: Indra (Deva) - Aka, the meddling pops who happens to pass by. Text above girl: Asura girl
- No! Kurando-kun came to rescue me… [linked] to be punished for it is!
- Is that so~~ And Kai-kun was trying so hard for once too! - Amano-san… - Just a little bit more and… oh what a waste! Of course there has to be punishment~~ - Kai-kun, be quiet okay [heart]
05----- - I didn’t do it to help you out. - I don’t care what methods I use, as long as I defeat Asura!
- That’s why there’s no need for a half-baked justice system. - Well, you’re only risking your own neck~~
- But, the punishment has to be metered out, ya know— - The reason? It’s because “I am the Rulebook”! [linked] Now then, the punishment readied for this time is!
06----- - Wh…! - There’s so many!?
- Excuse me~~
07----- - You will fight these shadows that are the same in number and possess the same abilities as the Avatars you’ve defeated up until now.
- Yes, over there. - I don’t really care since it’s no skin off my back, however.
- That idiot Avatar back there.
- Seeing him sent flying so splendidly like that, I feel much better.
08----- - Huh?
- Che!
- Now I that I get to remain in this world, I have no intention of fighting you guys again.
-Anyhow I didn’t really want to be reborn as Asura anytime soon. [linked] This time I’ll get a guy who won’t hit me. - I want to do stuff like fall in love properly.
- So blasé!! [linked] Blasé but… - Deva and Asura are born and raised as humans,[linked] so depending on their environment they might refuse to fight? - Lisa, too…
09----- - You see, I! - really really want to let you guys off, but because I thought of something really important…
- So, - I have a proposal for Jagannath!
- If Vayu and that Avatar become my underlings, - there’ll be no punishment for breaking the rule [heart]
10----- - We’re going, Kurando! Let’s get the punishment over and done with!! - Oh my. - I don’t mind using people, but no way am I being used.
- What’s this, you’re gonna do it after all!
- Hmph! - pop - pop
11----- - Go go Kurando!!
- Anira!! (Wind’s breath)
- Sparsana! (Wind’s touch)
12----- - A, amazing…
- Uwaah cheergirl!! - She really knows what makes guys tick! A personal cheergirl!! - [word cutting bubble] Eh— [normal text] Did she have that on all this time? - Yeah! Get pumped!!
13----- - Listen up. This is the same as a real battle! - If you lose, Vayu (Lisa) will vanish from this world!!
- Sparsana! (Wind’s touch)
- Huh…!? - This is a battle. - Losing is the same as dying. If you die it’s all over… You said that too when we first met, Kai-kun.
14----- - Ah… - It was raining the day I first met Amano-san. - Blood poured from my body along with the rain…
- It’s painful… - beyond words…
- Oy, who’s that bleeding over there? - This one’s kid. Can you believe he stabbed his own kid!? - I see, with that…
15----- - Dad, to me…!!
- Thought you’d get away with using our group’s name? Did you! - Gya! - Let’s first take him to the office. - Yakuza…
- Dad…? - N… - No…
- Don’t!! [linked] Please don’t kill him… - Plea…
- What an idiot.
16----- - Someone who’d stab his own son, [linked] try to imagine how much trouble someone like that must have caused his family. - Yet even so, you’d help him? [linked] What for? Because you’re family? - Ojou! Please return to the car.
- A girl… who? - But… - If you die it’s all over…
- If you’re dead! - You cannot regret anything!!
17----- - Is that kindness? - Or living with regrets?
- I don’t know…
- …okay. [linked] I’ll listen to your plea. - In return.
- Protect me… - with that excessive kindness?
Box: The man who was my father is, even now, living somewhere. - Amano-san promised to support my mother and younger siblings’. - And I became an Avatar.
18----- - Uooooh!! - What are you doing, Kurando!!
- Why did you slow down all of a sudden! - Ouch~~
- Haah— - Haah—
- Dammit! I got distracted for a moment. - This situation that I created, [linked] might cause Lisa to disappear…!!
19----- - If Lisa was gone… - Lisa’s parents would be sad… obviously. - If I lose. My fault. Again… mine!! - Haa… - Haa…
- Anira! (Wind’s breath)
- Ugh…
20----- - Fly, Kurando!!
- Sparsana! (Wind’s touch)
- Don’t worry Kurando! - I’m right behind you!!
21----- - What do you think? This is the strength of hundreds [heart] [linked] There’s only one person in the world I cheer for, [linked] and he’s Kurando [musical note] - Haa… - I don’t know what she’s on about. That Lisa… - Haa…
- For Mafuyu’s sake. - Only for my little sister Mafuyu’s sake. - I thought that was why I didn’t want to lose to Asura, but… - …aah— I get it.
- Unwittingly, the number of reasons for not losing have increased.
22----- - Lisa! That proposal can still be taken up.
- If both parties concerned do not press the issue, the punishment will be rescinded. [linked] Isn’t that right? Jagannath. - Hm? [linked] Well— that’s right.
- Indra!
- If you intend to bend everything to your will using “power” like you did before you were reborn, - I won’t ever ally with you!
- There’s a chance that being born and raised as a human might have changed you from how you used to be. - What~~?
23----- - Kurando… he said those things, but - I think he actually wanted to help Kai-kun.
- And he was really angry at someone who’d hit a girl, even if she is Asura. - Me? - Because Kurando’s an idiot…
- Uwaaah Anira!! (Wind’s breath) - He’s not very good at expressing his feelings.
- Finally… - The second one…!
24----- - Amano-san. - I will always be by Amano-san’s side. - Eh?
- And through Amano-san’s support, I have become strong!!
- Wh wh… [linked] What are you saying, Kai-kun!?
- That’s why… now…
25----- - 2… left. - Haa… - Haa… - Sheesh… - What’s with “I’m right behind you”!?
- I’m all wiped out! Text above Lisa: Hurray! Hurray!
- Morale, on the other hand. - …ah, not good, if I don’t summon more strength I’m done for…
- Che…
26----- - Kurando…!!
27----- - Once more… - I too will join in this battle between Deva and Asura!!
- Ah.
27----- - Um… [linked] In this situation, do I get some kind of punishment too?
- Hm…… - Since this penalty was for your side’s sake…
- It’s all settled. - Yup.
- What’s with that illogical decision!? - You an idiot!? Idiot idiot idioooot!!
29----- - I have dealt out your punishment. - The importance of the game?
- How’re we supposed to understand that, stupid judge!! - What’s with the “?” at the end!? [linked] Don’t be so wishy-washy!! - Umm… Amano-san.
- That, - Er, - Sorry… - There’s no need for you to apologise.
30----- - Plan A was to call out Kai-kun’s will to fight. - Eh, A? - Making Lisa and Co. into my underlings was Plan B. [linked] One of my objectives was achieved.
- I knew it, she was plotting something!! - Black! [linked] She really is black-hearted!! - Very commendable. Such. A. Thing.
- You be quiet!! - It’s called intelligent strategizing. - Heeeey.
31----- - Ah? [linked] You’re still here? - What cruel people.
- I have a message for you Deva people. - I was sent here for the express purpose of telling you this.
- You could’ve told us at the start!! Text beside bubble: Too close… - So what is it!? My patience is running out!!
- Vritra. - They said it was fine to just tell you the name… I don’t understand it myself.
32----- Text along right side: A premonition, the Deva vs Asura battle is growing in scale!!! Next, new Deva and Avatar appear!!
- ……haaah, this is getting more and more troublesome.

01----- - If Deva wins the world continues, - if Asura wins the world ends.
- The method of battle is: - the reincarnated Deva and Asura chooses a normal human to fight on their behalf. The human thus chosen is called an Avatar. - I became an Avatar even though I like to… - avoid trouble.
- Defeat the Asura. - There’s no other way to protect the world my sister lives in. - No matter what methods I have to resort to, who I have to use, I’ll protect it.
Text running along left side of page: This is the rumoured battle love fantasy!!
02----- Creator’s name in black boxes: Hoshino Kouichirou - Q. Mirror, mirror on the wall— who is the most beautiful sadistic goddess of them all? - A. Th, th, that would be you… Text on mirror: Volume 1 now in stores Text on mirror frame: chapter 8: Rendezvous with god
03----- - After that cold— [linked bubble] I’m alive againnnn—!!! Text on building: Lisa’s recovered from her cold, but…!?
- Energy!! Build up energy reserves, Kurando!! - Huh? - You’re too fired up. Bubble cutting panels: We have to meet up with Indra now, you know!?
Linked bubble: Build up that energy so that black hearted woman can’t drag you into her pace!! - Me?
04----- - Today we’re going to watch Deva Indra (Shakunaga Amano) fighting. - I’d like to see them in action, - but Lisa seems less than thrilled. - Ah! It must be a hatred of one’s own race. - I’m gonna make you cry!!
- What a horrible thing to say! [linked bubble] Calling someone this cute black hearted? I don’t mind stupid guys believing it, but~~! - Black.
- Er, um…
- Thank you for going so far as to prepare a souvenir for me to take home that day. [linked bubble] My little brothers and little sisters were very happy to receive it. - An earnest guy.
05----- - So, what’re you gonna do? - Don’t tell me you’re just gonna walk around and hope you bump into Asura?
- I don’t believe this! Can’t you think of anything more sophisticated? - Geh!
- In this era, to gather comrades whose faces you don’t even know, you use the internet. - Asura… - Ashura, King Ashura… - and other keywords from mythical tales.
- By pretending to be Asura and joining those sorts of communities, the real deal gets lured out. - The one we’ll be meeting is without a doubt Asura!
06----- - Using the internet to dangle bait that any Asura or Deva would understand. - The one behind this… is most likely Indra.
- Make contact with Deva, and spread the Viltora name is all we need you to do. - Once that objective is reached…
- It doesn’t matter whether you choose to fight or flee.
07----- - What the heck!? [linked bubble] Are you implying that we’re weaker than that chick? - Wai…
- No big deal. At least now we don’t need to spend time looking for a Deva. [linked bubble] I’m gonna go all out and play until this anger is worked off. - Hey, we’re going!
- How pathetic… - Yes… I suppose.
08----- - I bet one juice they don’t come.
- 2 Beef bowls they come thinking it’s just an offline meeting.
- You can’t eat it all! Bet something equal in value. - Then, if you lose you have to treat me. [heart] - Huh~~~?
- Silence in the peanut gallery! Text beside bubble: okaaay - This is a little late, but—
- making the roof of a building your meeting place— won’t they be suspicious? - I specifically chose a place away from prying eyes!!
09----- - Raising a fuss without a plan will only draw the government’s attention. - With people from Papa’s group, I mean company, making enquiries, I knew about you guys at once!
- So it wasn’t just coincidence. - Idiots!!
- Er, [linked] erm, as a fellow Avatar… what’s fighting like for you? Text beside Kurando: Neck hurts - Huh? Before… - When we first met things were kinda mixed up, but I was just told to release it…
10----- - Yes, well… I wanted to ask about that too, but what I meant was, why did you become an Avatar?
- Ah, no, I’m sorry! - I mean, people each have their own reasons. You don’t have to tell me…
- Until now… - I… - couldn’t do a thing.
11----- - How about you?
- I…
- want to repay a debt to Amano-san.
- repay a… debt?
- That’s just how good a guy he is… [linked] Did Indra (Amano) deceive him somehow?
12----- - Wassuuup! Handle-name “@shura” is here!! [I suppose handle-name means forum username]
- …what the heck, there’s only kids here. - So? Who’s Renge Pink-chan (handle)? [Renge – lotus, the flower Hindu deities sit on, hence Indra choosing to use it as her online name]
- Renge Pink… - What!?
13----- - Be you Deva or whatever, anyone playing petty tricks - need to be crushed!!
- My my, - looks like someone over there should watch their back
- I am Indra!! Guardian of the East, god of lightning! - Aka, Super pitiful Renge Pink!! (Handle-name)
14----- - For this battle, I propose a one-on-one, Asura vs Indra!!
- Good, this’ll be a piece of cake! Isn’t it good? - But… [linked] Stop it… Indra is…!
15----- - That’s no good~~~ Do it cuter, and smile! We practised this~~!! - …yeah.
- Feels like I’m watching a comic duo— but it’s different from the weapon (?) I saw before? - It’s Virgila.
- Its shape and size changes depending on what it’s used for and how much power it needs to eject. - No one has seen its shape at maximum power and lived.
16----- - Nice to meetcha!
- Since it’s my first time going up against a Deva!
- Oh, - This is also…
- a first for…
17----- - m, e…!!
- Mwehehehe! What an idiot!! - As if I’m gonna be all buddy-buddy with you!!
- Argh!
18----- - Awha!?
- Owww…! - …it’s no big deal though!
- Seems you avoided getting that in the artery. Pure luck. - You see, I like blood. I’m gonna make you a bloody mess!
- Bad boy, Kai-kun. - You could’ve died from that hit just now.
19----- - …knew it.
Bubble cutting panel: We’re not here to throw our lives away. - You too have a reason not to lose, don’t you Kai-kun? - Do win, please. It is of no consequence whether your opponent lives or dies.
- Indra is Indra even after she’s reborn…
- Ha~~~h?
20----- - Kurando! No matter what happens in this fight, you must not interfere. - Of course. [linked] We came to ascertain whether they can be of use to us.
- Then why are you all the way in front? - Oh?
- …that’s odd? - Normally in this situation Lisa would abandon all reason and tell me to go help them…
- what’s different this time?
21----- - Hehehe, [linked] like I’d fall for the same thing a second time!
- Kai-kun. [linked] There is no need to hold back with your opponent. Do what you want. - Also… it’d be unforgivable to lose when you have Indra’s ability. [linked] Indra’s thunder is invincible.
22----- - Aaargh!
- Invincible, she says! No matter, gimme your girl. If you do, I won’t cut you into little pieces, [linked] cos I can go on a killing spree later!!
- My girl’s appearance and ability are both super plain~~~
- Even doing it, - is boring as hell!!
23----- - I thought I could do anything if it’s for Amano-san, but…
- …but!! I can’t kill someone no matter how much I hate them!! - The way I am right now… [linked] I can’t stop going easy on you. Nor can I defeat you!!
- So you can’t get serious about this? - What a coooool guy!
- If you can’t kill me,
- I’ll kill you!
24----- - Anira!!! (Wind’s breath)
- Stop kidding around!!! - Everyone is pissing me off!! Kai!! Indra!!
25----- - Words are wasted on this guy!! - Ug… - Urgh…
- M, - Me!?
26----- - You have to completely wipe out Asura!!
27----- - …you want to repay a debt to Indra?
- If you think fighting Asura is other people’s problem,
- If you can say the fate of this world has nothing to do with you,
- then quit being an Avatar!!
28----- - Indraaa! - Don’t get this kinda guy involved!!
- …In return, - will you protect me?
- Sorry… - You’re wrong… [linked] No, not wrong, just… - Repaying my debt to Amano-san… becoming an Avatar…
29----- - it’s all for myself!!
- I don’t get why you said sorry.
- So! In other words, just now you cut into the battle [linked] and broke the rule in order to protest the way I forced kind-hearted Kai-kun into battle? - Nothing of the sor…
- Rule?
- Come to think of it, Lisa told me not to interfere, and what did I just do? - And I even made up my mind to only be a spectator!!
30----- - Good job Kurando!! [small text] In many ways.
- Oh. Text on head: She’s not mad…
- Good job… - is a way to put it~~~ - Which is it then?
31----- - Um~~~
- Whoa, [linked] why hasn’t she vanished? Text above Kai: Vanished? - Because you broke the rule.
- And I’m asking, what is that!? - Kurando kuuun.
- Before the battle started, Indra announced it’d be one-on-one, and the opponent agreed to it. [linked] Kurando violated that god to god oath, so…
- What happens is, the rule breaker undergoes a penalty…
32----- - and God Jagannath appears to deal it out. - Choriiiissu! [Chorissu – a greeting. It’s slang, similar in meaning to konnichiwa.] Text between Lisa and Kurando: Wh, what came out!? - Whoa!!? - Continued in chapter 9
