Masazumi? I haven't seen you since middle school.

Who're you?

Are you really Futayo?

You dare interfere?

Who's the one really interfering here?

What is it?

Hey, whoa! If it isn't We and Mrs. We!

You two on a walk?

Don't be insolent!

We are Yoshinao, King of Musashi!

We have come to stop your outrage!

Pope President,

We would like Galileo to take his leave.

Oh, and if he doesn't?

King of Musashi, you are not a student, so you cannot interfere with student contention.

That dame is captain of Our guard.

She has trained under Honda Tadakatsu

and possesses the prototype for an Armament of Deadly Sins,

the Divine Weapon, Slicing Dragonfly.

We would like to see if any of these kids can defeat her as a form of remonstration.

Do you have any proof that the showoff isn't in collusion with Musashi's students?

Hey, old fart!

Don't put us in the same boat as that cosplay freak!

In other words, King Yoshinao,

you want one of us to fight Futayo?

Diving!

That's crazy!

Futayo's so strong...

Hey, hey, hey!

The Pope President may have intruded upon Masazumi and Tori's debate,

but I declare that both sides have valid stances.

Is that acceptable?

I will take care not to intrude again.

Then, with one win, one loss and one tie, we need a tiebreaker.

Musashi will be facing off against...

Your blades will fall short of your foes if you cannot best me.

Well? Who will face me?

What do you see?

You, as you are now,

lock your heart until you've summoned the strength you need

What do you hear?

Shall we speak of bygone days

in this secret, little room?

My memories embraced all mysteries and smashed them

with quiet prayers I overcame my suffering

and a new world began

I didn't know whether men could accept the future

like drinking wine

and threw all I had away

This new world lies in the vale between cold reason and utter miracles

Why was it here that I could meet you?

The Summit's Flower

As a knight, I should go "kaboom!" and whack her.

No, how 'bout I go "smash!" with Jizuri Suzaku?

Or I could go "whoosh" with a long-range attack.

Why do these women keep using onomatopoeia?

I should fight her!

But it would be over as soon as she squished you.

Goodness!

And our spells take a while to prepare.

In that case...

I guess that leaves me.

No, I should go up before you do, Sir Neshinbara.

No, no way.

Not you, Tenzo.

That woman uses old-fashioned, formal speech.

You don't take it quite as far as her, ya know?

You've lost in a battle of character before you even fight!

Damn, y-you're right!

I have nothing in my defense.

Listen up, fools and silly brother.

Your ingenious big sister shall save your sorry butts.

Move it, Ms. Boobless Politician.

It's dangerous here.

Sis is scary if you don't do what she says.

Will she be okay?

Yeah, she'll be just fine!

This is in my way.

A warrior versus a strange woman?

Is this much of a fight?

Hey, We-We!

If my sis wins, could you make me king?

What?! Why would We make you King of Musashi?

He has no idea what We went through when We became king of this realm!

We were the lord of a small country until then...

Curse the Testament Union!

They'll destroy Our domain if We don't become Musashi's king!

In order to protect Our country and people, We chose to become Musashi's king.

What would you do if you became king?

Me?

I want to get back everything Horizon lost because of me.

Going by your attire, I take it you are a traditional dancer.

I see you're a dreary woman, ignorant of the arts.

This goes back much further.

I'm afraid I fail to appreciate the arts.

You don't lead a corrupted life.

How boring!

Uzzy, come out.

Asama Shrine

Asama Shrine

Yay, Uzzy!

This is the mouse for the Head Deity of the Performing Arts, Uzume.

Do you know about the Uzume-based deities?

All I know is that they spread emotions linked to rowdiness and humor.

Then, let me enlighten you.

Just so you know, my contracts are all related to erotica and dancing.

You truly lack anything related to battle?

I must exercise caution,

but all it will take is one hit to defeat her.

There's no need to sever her with Slicing Dragonfly.

I need to confirm something first: her speed!

En garde!

She's fast!

It's over.

Impossible! I can't believe reality deceived me!

Don't waste our time on such a simple conclusion.

Silly brother, how are you supposed to react at a time like this?

Go on, show us!

Wow, you're really cute!

You're so wet!

Bucket, oh, bucket!

He's flirting with a bucket...

Your brother is rather forward.

I'll toss him into sewer water later.

As for you, the dullest woman in the Far East, Honda Futayo,

your speed is wavering.

Gotcha!

How crude.

You must pluck a flower, not reap it.

What was that spell?

Who's stupid enough to ask that or stupid enough to answer?

But I'll brag!

Remember?

I said my contracts specialize in erotica and dances.

But do you think being erotic means I'm open to anyone?

My Summit Dance is a spell that prevents thugs from touching me.

The only ones who can touch me are those I wish to wither away for.

Now, give it a shot!

See if you can reach the summit.

As long as I offer my ritual dances, I am the summit!

The Song of Passage?

She's turning it into a dance song.

Damn!

She's increasing the offering's value!

Then, I'll have to pass through!

That's blood!

Will she be okay?

She'll be fine.

Kimi won't lose.

After all, Kimi has only cried once,

and that was over Tori.

Since Tori's watching, Kimi can't lose.

Excellent! Great!

It feels wonderful,

like everything has been laid open.

But it's not enough;

it's nothing compared to back then.

It was right after the accident that took Horizon's life.

Tori and Horizon were both unconscious when they were taken to Mikawa,

but when he came back he was alone.

He grew thin, unwilling to eat.

Kimi was the one who snapped Tori out of it.

Eat it.

Sis...

Horizon...

She can't feel anything anymore.

Listen, you aren't Horizon!

Just because Horizon's dead doesn't mean you have to die too!

Cut it out!

He moved!

Tabasco, seven spices and pepper!

Spices are amazing!

It's true that a grain of pepper is worth a golden coin.

Go on! Move some more!

Pepper

Seven Spices

Salt

Cry out! Cry to your heart's content!

Remember all your emotions!

Blood and flesh, shuddering and tears...

Regain some of what Horizon has lost.

Are you back?

No, because you never made it to where Horizon went,

my...

silly brother!

It'll be okay.

Listen, from now on, you must live like you're crying right now.

Laugh and get angry just like a newborn.

And help those who can't do that.

Help others retrieve the things they were born with

that have been lost or stolen.

I will help you.

That's why no one can stand up to Kimi.

She didn't let Tori leave us.

Summit Dance

Yes, that was the only time I've ever cried.

This is absolutely nothing compared to then!

Kimi!

I got through!

Why don't you let out a wail?

I'm an obscene woman.

Wouldn't you agree?

Damn!

This is the Q&A for the dance's intermission!

If I don't answer...

What a pity.

I was hoping you could see what this tastes like.

If I'm no match for her speed...

If you want to fight the outside world, you must defeat my Slicing Dragonfly first!

Bind, Slicing Dragonfly!

Clueless woman, why the surprise?

But why?!

Doesn't that spear sever its target's name?

A flower's name means nothing to the flower itself.

After all, someone else slapped a name on it.

It's the same as fashion.

If you're going to rely on that for your attacks,

you'll have to increase your power level by four digits if you hope to touch me.

It can't be...

Snap out of it!

You've made a total of three mistakes.

Mistake one. You crossed paths with a magnificent woman like me.

Magnificent women only lose to their loved ones.

Mistake two. Speed is your selling point, yet you tossed it aside

after a dignified lady such as myself repelled you but once.

Keep attacking and show me what you've got,

even if you know you're no match!

The last mistake is that you are not meant to serve

our cosplaying King of Musashi, nor the Testament Union,

nor your dimwitted brain,

which decided to side with them for the Far East.

That's...

If you are a samurai of the Far East, then it is your duty to serve your lord!

You should be trying to save Horizon!

You're pathetic for having become her enemy!

Now, on your knees! Kneel!

Judge!

I overanalyzed things and nearly made a horrible mistake.

You may be licentious,

but I am in debt for your accurate words of advice!

Just so long as you understand.

Silly brother, do you have anything to say?

Yeah, thanks a whole bunch!

So, what now?

I won the fight.

Indeed!

Now what will you do? Well?

If Aoi Tori becomes King of Musashi,

Musashi will probably be freed from its constraints.

But the Testament Union will view him as a threat

and justifiably declare him hostile.

King of Musashi, don't worry.

A king's gotta stand proud, right?

Or what?

As promised, We shall return authority to the Supreme Federation and Student Council.

But We cannot transfer my kingship.

This will stand true even if Princess Horizon returns.

Musashi will retain Us as king in line with the Testament Union's dispatch.

Obviously!

However!

We shall appoint two viceroys as Our assistants.

Next, We shall split their power by giving them one privilege each.

We hereby appoint Horizon Ariadust and Tori Aoi as Our viceroys!

Have you gone mad, King of Musashi?!

Your Holiness, We are the King of Musashi.

As king, We must always stay with our people

and help them through their suffering and strife.

If you believe Our actions are harmful to the Testament Union,

you can pass judgment at the next Testament Union Conference of Representatives.

The Testament Union Conference of Representatives is an international affair.

The Testament does not mention any conferences like this in our current era.

No, it does!

There's the Peace of Westphalia.

The meeting that peacefully ended the Thirty Years' War

and led to several new international laws

will be held in half a year, on October 24th.

What do you say?

Why don't we use that conference to weigh the future of Musashi and the Far East?

But that means you will war against the Testament Union until that conference!

We can hold out if the end is in sight.

Our job is to go to Westphalia,

retrieve the Armaments of Deadly Sins,

and save the world from annihilation!

I would like the Armaments to go back to their rightful owners.

As a representative of the Testament Union, I feel Musashi's decision is dangerous.

As such, we shall proceed with our plans,

to abstract the armor from Horizon Ariadust after her suicide.

And we shall proceed with relocating the people of Musashi to revive Mikawa.

Got it!

Well, you take care of that.

I'm gonna go tell Horizon how I feel.

You bastard!

What's your problem, geezer?!

What the hell do you think you're doing?!

You've captured my beloved Horizon and wanna execute her?!

You jerks!

You've stripped Horizon naked, chained her down, and stolen her freedom!

Then, you tortured her, condemned her, or did somethin' wet and messy, didn't you?!

Hell no!

There's no point in any further conversation.

We shall proceed as planned.

If you wish to intervene,

there will be student contention as dictated in the school rules.

Huh?!

The side fighting for Musashi Ariadust Academy was victorious!

As sanctioned by witness of the Testament Union,

the Far East has decided to rescue Horizon Ariadust.

Rescue! Rescue!

Well then, I best be off.

You guys taught me that we stand a chance of rescuing Horizon.

Horizon isn't a human only meant to die.

You taught me that she wasn't born just to die.

So, I'll be going now.

But you don't have to go along with this anymore,

since I'm just doing what I want.

But if someone you care for is ever in the eyes of danger,

don't hesitate to save him.

You can do it.

Coming from someone inept, you have my guarantee!

The fool...

He's doing the exact same thing that We did once.

We once believed that Our land would be saved if We left.

But one person can't...

You're going with him?

Oh, I should put these guys back, huh?

That's Our country's crest!

Adele, where did you get that spear?

Oh, this?

My father left it for me to use as I saw fit.

Your father did?

Yes.

A long time ago, my father lived in a foreign country.

Supposedly, their king surrendered himself to the Testament Union in exchange for peace.

My father felt that the king surrendered himself because the people weren't doing their part.

He thought everyone should have been more courageous.

So when he gave me this spear, he told me to make sure to protect my king.

I see...

What are you going to do now?

Judge!

I am going to go protect our king!

Nate, I'm countin' on ya!

Remember that old promise, Madam Knight?

You never forget the past.

I fully remember, my king.

The time for me to show you my strength as a knight has come.

You find them more intriguing than us, Masazumi?

You wanted to be hands-on, didn't you?

My arms itch for action!

Y-Your arms?!

I swear, we're a close bunch.

Hey, now, Azuma!

Are you sure you should go?

I'll be fine!

I'm sure I can do something to help.

Good luck, everyone.

I'll be waiting.

Good luck, good luck!

Neshinbara, please contact the Guard and come up with a strategy.

Asama, say, could you prepare to pass that through?

Silly brother, you aren't forgetting something important now, are you?

It's all good, sis!

I'll never give up on life ever again.

So please!

You probably wouldn't listen if I refused anyway.

Thanks.

And you, Futayo.

What is it?

Enroll in our school as the temporary vice chancellor.

I am a samurai and not a noble,

so it is my job to protect my master, Lady Horizon.

But if that doesn't bother you...

That's cool.

Yo!

I sent a copy to you!

Letter of Recommendation for School Enrollment Horizon Ariadust I recognize you are qualified for our academy and recommend you to enroll in our facility.

Be sure everyone, including Horizon, makes it back.

Listen up!

Don't do your best; don't endeavor.

Simply use all of the power and strength you've developed.

And if that isn't enough...

come back alive.

Judge!

I'm going to become king!

I'm going to become king of a country where everyone's dreams come true!

I'm going to become king of a country where Horizon can live out her dreams!

C'mon, let's go, everybody!

I'm counting on you.

Judge!

Towards the sky strives

our sailing voyage across the real world

Although I own nothing

I have sparkling dreams within my heart

So far I can not make out what your heart has to say

but I want to know, show me your true self

Countless things have been scattered all across the world

We will find them one by one and fill the void

Someone stole your smile from you

These days I run to retrieve it

down a path shining with light
