A Brave's Doubts

A Brave's Doubts

You're saying that you excluded me and Sara

in order to eat with only Yukine,

at which time you made plans for a trip together?!

Not only that, but...

her head!

What about her head?

You're practically a sugar daddy!

Wow, haven't heard that in a while.

I demand an explanation for this series of events!

Don't let go of your sword, even if you're knocked over.

And get up ASAP.

Jogamine

Kip-Up

Please answer the question, Master!

I don't really care about that stuff...

But Yukine was crying.

You don't need to worry about that, Sara.

Instructor was gentle.

Master!

Indo, don't make this even more...

An upwards parry.

Lot of fighting styles use it.

If you pull it off, you can transition smoothly to offense.

Defend near the guard.

A triangle choke, huh?

You let go on purpose.

Not bad.

But this is training for that one-handed sword, so you oughta use it.

Won't be much practice otherwise.

Instructor, I can't breathe.

That's the kind of hold this is.

And it's exhausting, so let go already.

You first.

That's the spirit.

Yukine! I believe that position is profoundly bad for your education!

You should get away, now!

Sara, help me!

Seriously, Yukine, let go.

Don't wanna.

Instructor, what was that?

The body's got all kinds of weak points.

I could teach you them,

but a Brave's job is killing Dark Lords.

Learning how to efficiently end someone takes priority over little tricks.

But, Master—

Well, y'know...

If you two wanna go to Hokkaido, you can tag along.

Don't feel great about taking a bunch of rookies along, but...

I see! Then you've come to rely on us!

Really don't feel great about it, but...

Y'know, you're being proactive... These lessons are a good example.

Well, this is gonna be a big job,

so I'm kinda desperate for extra hands.

And if you do come, I can guarantee you'll be stronger for it.

We're still gonna be training for another three hours today, though.

I'd have it no other way!

That's great and all, Sensei,

but you really oughta put some gear on.

We can't exactly go at you with full force when using real weapons, y'know?

You're training to kill people. What are you yapping about?

Maybe get a shot in before you start worrying about me. Seriously.

Then again... maybe it'd be a nice change of pace.

I'll try with those gloves on.

Spare my fists some of the pain of hitting you three.

Ow!

I still can't shake the impression that you're a sadist, Master!

You're imagining things.

And don't be late tomorrow.

Yes, sir! I'll be there with my full heart and—

Abruptly

He's gone!

Master?!

You draw too much attention, Aki.

Well, I've got a subway to catch.

Sara.

You live in Azabu, right?

I'll take you there.

Uh... okay. Thanks.

I think I should be home at around 11. I'll update you.

Don't

Don't need

Don't need anyone

Don't need anyone to

Don't need anyone to pick me

Don't need anyone to pick me up

Don't need anyone to pick me up today.

I think I should be home at around 11. I'll update you.

I think I should be home at around 11. I'll update you.

I think I should be home at around 11. I'll update you.

I think I should be home at around 11. I'll update you.

Don't need anyone to pick me up today.

I think I should be home at around 11. I'll update you.

Don't need anyone to pick me up today.

I think I should be home at around 11. I'll update you.

Don't need anyone to pick me up today.

Great, another road closed.

You're out past curfew.

Is your daddy gonna be mad?

N-Not really.

I let him know where I was.

I didn't realize you had a dojo like that, Sensei.

Did we really need to sneak into the academy for our first training session?

Well, the Coffin Count of Storms makes me kinda reluctant to use it.

Getting rid of her goons is a pain.

Not to mention...

Your school's closer to the bar.

I know you've got your hands full dealing with stuff,

but I think you could tell us more about the job.

Since we're helping out, it wouldn't hurt to know

exactly what kinda Dark Lord we're dealing with.

You seem kinda fixated on this.

You scared?

It's not that!

But you won't say anything, so we don't know anything.

And it's weird to me that Aki and Yukine don't seem to care!

I shall fight by your side.

Then again... maybe that's their way of being considerate.

Whoa, Sensei!

Don't be stupid.

You guys are still way too green for me to be talking to you about the big picture.

More importantly...

I can infer a few things about the Half Dragon

based on what happened at the party.

First of all, I think they have bigger backers than anyone figured.

That'd explain them having operations in Hokkaido,

and their willingness to screw with a Dark Overlord like the Coffin Count of Storms.

Next, their goals.

They're a bit like arms dealers.

They provide E4 and E3 procured from illicit sources to weaker Dark Lords

in an attempt to disrupt the status quo.

They provoke conflict between the Dark Lords to boost their own business.

If they're trying to distribute E4,

raising that kind of hell would make for great market conditions.

But why take the risk of making an enemy of the Coffin Count of Storms?

Do they really just want money?

I can't take what Pincers said for granted.

And to verify it,

I'll need these three helping out...

They'll be my ticket to finding a lead.

I wonder how much Ishino knew.

And if Sara's people have anything to do with this,

what could it be?

It'll become clear soon enough.

And it's got nothing to do with you three.

I appreciate how lively it is.

City nights should be full of energy.

It's in competition and clashing that life truly gives off its most brilliant shine.

The world needs to evolve, like a stream of water gradually changing directions.

Don't you agree?

And you're saying the Half Dragon is contributing to that?

Yes... and it is magnificent.

Have you seen what E4 can do?

Evolution beyond the human form...

It's hope.

A signpost on the path to eternal life.

Are you not going to eat? Your soup's getting cold.

Well, considering I was "disarmed" earlier...

So lap it up, then!

I'm willing to be your new backer,

in the place of the Coffin Count of Storms.

Who else could supply all your people with sufficient E3?

A drink to seal the deal.

Come, lower your head.

You're mad. Did I upset you?

Someone who was once known as a Dark Overlord like yourself, Count India Ink,

has certainly fallen on hard times.

Considering that you're entrusting your security to simple hired help.

Damned mercenaries... you dare betray me?

It's good to see you again...

Coach.

I'm glad to see you're alive,

you pain in the ass cockroach.

Where are your manners?

Was it a good idea killing this piece of shit?

Won't that make taking his assets harder?

I don't care.

I want this dealt with quickly.

Anyone assisting the Half Dragon needs to be taken off the board.

So that order, maintained by powerful Dark Lords, can be restored.

Two Days Later Hokkaido, Mount Maoi

Hey, Sensei, are we actually gonna get there like this?

Now is the time for endurance, Sara!

I'm sure our lodgings for tonight will have a variety of oceanic bounty,

as well as natural hot spring!

Nope.

Nothing like that.

Look, I wasn't expecting that sorta stuff.

Instructor, I'm hungry.

You girls just don't stop, do you?

It looks like we should get there by nightfall,

so we we can afford to take a break.

So...

What are we doing tomorrow?

Not hiking around searching for those monsters, I hope.

Of course not.

I've got a plan and everything.

Indo.

Do you know whose territory we're in right now?

We're in one of the Count of Rupturing Star Charts' "gardens."

Our squad was hired by him once

and marched on this territory.

The job was to get rid of the Dark Lord that had started squatting around here.

Damn, you know your stuff.

You get five "You Did Pretty good" points.

Sweet!

There's points now?

I must ask, who is this Count of Rupturing Star Charts?

He's a pretty big deal.

Yeah. One of the three Dark Overlords that Hokkaido is carved up by...

A member of the Three Commanders.

They say his ether perception lets him control the weather.

Maybe he's in a good mood today?

All right, I understand the situation!

We're to rake this Count of Rupturing Star Charts over the coals and enlist his aid?

Actually, you're not even close.

Those Nephillim were active around these parts.

We don't know if this guy's working with the Half Dragon

or if we'll end up fighting him.

Right now, the plan is to meet with him in person and make a deal.

Peacefully, I hope.

Peacefully?

That doesn't really seem your style, Sensei.

Uh, you're not just flying by the seat of your pants

while pretending you've got some kinda plan, are you?

Hey!

Let's see...

Up ahead is an old, abandoned church.

Lately a friend...

Bad choice of words...

An acquaintance of mine has taken it over.

We'll stay there tonight.

Most of the time he's not there, but...

If he is, it'll be kinda complicated.

There's a decent chance we'll be attacked.

So, what's the actual deal?

Are you gonna explain?

I guess we're here.

That should be it.

That's... a church?

Braves Hot Spring

Braves Hot Spring

Braves Hot Spring

What the actual hell?

A hot spring!

Now this is a wonderful surprise!

I suppose Master wanted to visit a hot springs with some beauties, after all!

Braves Hot Spring

Does that place strike you as a typical hot spring inn?

If so, I'm impressed.

Thank you very much!

What the hell is going on with this place?

Did your "acquaintance" build it?

Hard to say...

but I wouldn't put it past the "Father."

I guess we're doing this.

Everybody, E3 up!

How about it, Sara?

You sensing any danger from this place that used to be a church?

At this range, it's not that accurate but...

Braves Hot Spring

I'm sensing maybe two Dark Lords, who are on E3?

And unless they're actually mines or bombs, they're pretty bad news.

How bad is bad?

Braves Hot Spring

About as strong... as you, Sensei.

I see humans. Multiple.

I can hear them, too.

What're they talking about? Can you tell?

Not at this distance, unfortunately.

I see.

Time to close in.

Leave your stuff here.

I'll take point.

Keep about ten paces behind and follow.

Roger.

Master! I should be defending your rear—

Back up!

If these guys are as good as me, then they're serious business.

A rifle...

And firing without a warning.

But dodging gunfire isn't a big deal for Braves,

especially in my case.

Indo! Move up!

Heavy...

But if they think they've got the edge, that gives me an opening.

Drop the bind, step towards the left side,

and strike while passing by.

Damn.

They were able to keep up with my reaction time.

And twice.

That can't be coincidence.

You couldn't move like that unless you knew exactly what I was doing.

The things that come to mind are some kind of foresight or future vision...

But would that really be this effective?

If they're pulling this off purely with sword skills,

they're a damn monster.

So...

strong!

They're not falling for any of my counter setups.

They're going right for my head.

But how...?

Ay ay ay!

Master! That's—

Aki!

These are... rubber bullets?

No wonder this was such a pain in the ass!

What the hell are you doing out here, Malta?

Welcome to the Braves Hot Spring!

And that goes double for you, ladies.

What would you think if there was a squinty-eyed priest who always smiled?

Wouldn't that just be a kind priest?

Hell no, it wouldn't.

Hell no, it wouldn't?!
