We're leaving.

Wha... Wait, Lord Devil!

Zygaena will turn over soon.

Why don't we play a game, baby?

Zygaena's flower is above.

When Zygaena turns over, we'll fall onto it.

If you can get the flower before I catch you, you can have it.

But...

If I catch you, your life is mine. Okay?

Then the game will begin when Zygaena starts turning over.

Lord Devil, are you sure about this?

Isn't it unfair for us to run and leave him there?

That space spans Zygaena's entire body.

What?

When Zygaena turns over, they'll fall onto the guys who entered from the other side.

Send everyone Viole's location.

Tell them to run to him.

We'll attack him all at once.

I knew I could count on you, Lord Devil!

Viole's location?

Just waiting around is boring.

Let's chat, FUG baby.

Your target is the throne Jahad sits on, isn't it?

You've spent your whole lives in the Tower.

Jahad must seem like a tremendous figure to you.

But that doesn't interest me.

What's so fun about becoming king of the Tower?

You can have it, for all I care.

I'm going outside the Tower.

Outside the Tower is an endless sky.

Infinite stars illuminate the darkness.

It's billions of times freer out there.

Don't you think what you want

is lackluster when there's a place like that out there?

I don't know.

After all, I don't need thrones or stars.

But I'll fight anyone who tries to hurt the people I care about.

Bold words for a baby.

We've got about ten more seconds.

Ten. Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

Viole!

One.

Now we can have some fun!

Let the game begin, babies!

Prince!

Got it!

Triple Field!

You'd need at least an Opera to stop me for even a tenth of a second.

Lord Devil!

What's going on here?

It doesn't matter! We have to stop...

that monster!

Yes!

You're kidding!

You're not gonna run, huh? Fine!

Miseng!

Viole! Viole!

Viole! Viole!

I knew something seemed off.

Viole!

Viole is...

What's the matter?

Shouldn't you be saving him?

Damn it...

Hey, babies.

You can have it. Take it with you.

Zygaena's flower...

But why?

Because I don't need it anymore now that this thing's been born.

It's your reward for surviving against the strongest man alive.

Hey, look. That tattoo on his back...

Mazino. Urek Mazino!

Well, well. This is quite the welcome wagon.

Come on. This isn't fair.

How many of us do you think were killed?!

"Fair" hardly matters anymore!

That's not what I meant.

If it's not at least a thousand on one, I'll look like the one who isn't playing fair,

you wimp.

Hey. Do you know what this is?

It's Zygaena's kid.

What?

It's my first time seeing one, too.

You know why, don't you?

Because you've been hiding the fact that the kids get their nutrients

from the flowers, so they've been picking them.

How do you know that?

There are guys who don't want the flowers to lose their value, right?

Like some powerful people on the 21st floor.

I...

Sorry, but I'm taking this kid.

In a few years, the sea will be full of Zygaenas,

and the flowers will lose their value.

Though they won't lose their beauty, of course.

Wait! You won't get away with—

Anyone who's got a problem with it can come see me.

I'm not afraid of anything.

Nice work.

Let Yuri know I got it.

I will.

Mr. Mazino, you have a cut on your face.

What?

Did he do it then?

So he wasn't just trying to protect her.

Yuje!

Yes?

We've got work to do.

Keep an eye on the baby Slayer who joined FUG.

Something interesting is about to happen.

Viole! Viole!

I'll kill your teammates off one by one.

How many of them survive depends on you, Jue Viole Grace.

Can you believe that guy? It's not like he's going to kill them himself.

Starting today, I'm going to be teaching you to fight. Nice to meet you.

Don't be so cold.

As long as you cooperate, I won't hurt you.

I plan to do everything I can for you.

Money, power, women.

If there's anything you want, just say so.

I'll listen.

I want to become stronger.

So I don't have to say goodbye.

How strong do I have to get to never say goodbye again?

Viole!

What is this?

You idiot.

It's been two days.

Is he really going to wake up?

Where's Yihwa?

Cooped up in her room.

She's taking it really hard that

the Yeon family was involved in covering up Zygaena's children.

Yeon Family Loses Trust

Urek Mazino...

He's like a storm.

Hey.

Um...

I was naïve.

I wanted Viole to make friends,

but I wasn't expecting them to put his life in danger.

Do you think you could distance yourself from Viole?

Huh?

We'll find a replacement for him.

I promise you won't be killed, either.

So forget all about FUG and Viole.

But...

Leave this place by tomorrow morning.

You guys don't want to die yet, do you?

Viole will never turn back, no matter how dangerous his opponent.

Not now, not ever.

Can you guys keep up with someone like that?

I'm going shopping. Is there anything you'd like to eat?

Cigarettes.

Man, that's heavy.

If some brat hadn't broken his Lighthouse, this would've been easier.

Excuse me? It's not like you could do anything!

How much does one Lighthouse cost?

Shut up!

It's fine! I'll just borrow money from Viole!

You're gonna pay him back, right?

Of course. I don't default on my loans.

Don't borrow money from him.

I don't believe you.

You're the son of a moneylender, after all.

We have to move out of here today.

That's old news! Quit bringing it up!

The world Viole lives in is too different from ours, so—

Old news? That just came up recently.

In any case, I've changed!

But you can't change the past.

You damn poser!

Hey! I'm being serious here! Listen to me!

What? Are you talking about kicking Viole off the team?

What's your reasoning?

Like I said...

We can't do that! We won't be able to buy another Lighthouse!

Are you okay with that?

That's not what this is about.

You're a wimp. You should leave the team.

I'm climbing the Tower with him!

Go find someone else to climb with!

You can't be serious!

I want to climb the Tower with Viole more than you do!

No way! I want to climb the tower more than you!

You're wrong! I definitely want to more than you!

No way! I super hyper want to more than you!

Yeah, right! I—

Then why do you want to kick him off the team?

Because...

Did you think we'd run if we knew about that?

Who do you think I am? Don't you know how amazing I am?!

But if we stay with Viole,

we might have to fight someone like Urek Mazino again.

You guys still want to stick with him?

Viole saved Miseng back then.

He chose saving a teammate over winning the fight.

I can't kick out someone like that just because he's dangerous.

This isn't about Viole.

It's a question of our resolve.

You seem rather down.

Even after the Yeon family's scandal broke,

they're still shamelessly putting out bounties for Zygaena's children.

Has witnessing your family's disgrace made you lose your nerve, princess?

You wouldn't understand.

You're right. I don't.

I don't know why you stay cooped up in your room.

If it were me, I'd come up with a way to correct my family's mistake and act.

But I don't care to understand the thinking of a spoiled girl

who can't even cook her own meals.

It's okay. He'll wake up.

Wait, huh? What's that smell?

Something's burning.

What is this?

There's a fire, too?!

What are you yelling about?

Uh, what are you doing?

I've made up my mind.

I'm going to follow the new path of the elite.

New path?

I'll climb the Tower, become a Ranker, and correct all of my family's mistakes.

Uh, Yihwa?

As a symbol of my resolve, I'll take over the cooking.

An elite should be able to cook their own meals, so I will.

I see. But I can cook our—

I'll do it, no matter what. That's the decision I've made.

What? Why are you crying?

I'm sure it'll turn out good.

Something stinks in here.

What is this black stuff?

There's a fire, too?!

What happened?

Yihwa said... Yihwa said she would cook.

Y-Yihwa is cooking?

Did you hit your head on something, flamethrower woman?!

What does that mean?!

Excuse me.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I recommend these cigarettes.

You...

We've decided to follow our path.

FUG, the Ten Families, and Jahad don't matter.

It's the path we've chosen.

Naturally, we'll be taking Viole with us.

Dinner will be ready soon. You're welcome to have some.

It might be burnt, though.

It's sweet.

Come on out, Karaka.

It's been a while, Master.

Have there been any changes?

I'm having some trouble.

You should've let me handle this.

Yeah, right.

Let's go somewhere else.

The Administrator is watching.

Sorry, but I'll be having dinner somewhere else.

Seems like you've been working hard recently.

I don't deserve those words yet.

After all, I have my sights set on someplace higher.

I suppose that's true.

Master, we've finally acquired the weapon we need to kill Jahad.

Why do you hesitate?

We should slaughter the people with Viole this instant and form a new team.

I thought I told you to let me handle Viole.

Are you saying you don't trust me?

Of course I do.

But a rumor is spreading among the Elders

that you will become caught up in your emotions and make a mistake.

Are you trying to make me laugh?

I abandoned my family to join FUG.

They think I'd get caught up in my emotions now?

More friends for Viole means more hostages for us.

Tell the Slayers and Elders not to worry so much.

Very well. In that case, I shall leave for now.

It's been a while since we last met. Want to get something to eat?

I'm sorry,

but I cannot remove my mask and eat with someone I don't trust completely.

If you'll excuse me.

I should've eaten with them.

Poken.

Find some Regulars we can trust and have them secretly observe the team.

Yes, sir.

If they do anything suspicious, kill them all.

Understood, my lord.

I'm stuffed.

I'm glad we didn't have to eat the flamethrower woman's cooking.

Putting Yihwa in charge of Viole's care was a good idea, right?

You're a genius.

Anyway, Wangnan said we'd help Viole, but does he have something specific in mind?

Won't we just hold him back like we did before?

Don't worry. There is a way.

Really? What is it?

Apparently he doesn't know yet.

Huh?

Huh?

But he insists there's a way forward

as long as we're prepared to take it.

You're a Guide, aren't you?

Yes.

Tell us how we can find Viole's friends.

Why would I do that?

Guides only show the way to those who can follow the path.

You told me Viole's secret.

Isn't that because I can walk that path?

If that's the case, I'm taking it.

Is it because you feel sorry for Viole, or to achieve your own goal...

prince of the red light district?

How sweet.

Fine. I'll tell you.

If you're a Regular, you must know about the Workshop.

Yeah. It's where they make items, right?

Yes. Pockets, Lighthouses, Needles.

Most of the Tower's items are made in the Workshop.

There are branches on every floor but only seven main Workshops.

One is on the 30th floor, and once every five years,

E-Rank Regulars gather there to battle for items.

Battle for items?

Regulars compete against each other, and winners receive items made there.

They call it the Workshop Battle.

The Workshop Battle...

The next one is in two years.

If you can get there within two years,

you should be able to meet Viole's friends.

Reach the 30th floor within two years, huh?

We'll get there.

Together.
