A Gentle Death

1
Doroka!
Mia!
Luckily, you are fine.
Mia.
What happened?
I don't know either.
Humans start attacking us out of the blue.
How is it possible?
We've always gotten along well
with each other, right?
We even went to the city together.
And we cured Mr. Tom of his illness.
Why are they doing this?
Yes. We can use our magic.
We can't use it.
Our magic has been sealed off
by that machine.
What is that?
Madam Ophelia may know something about it.
Doroka, run.
Go and inform Madam Ophelia about this.
Let her know what has happened.
Just me alone?
No!
Let's go together.
Do as I said.
Be good Listen to me
Mia
What did they do to you?
Just follow the Apokolips and
you'll reach Ophelia's manor.
I brought you there
during the harvest festival.
You still remember the way, right?
Doroka.
You are a strong one, child.
No one can catch you
if you run with all your might.
You can travel over the hill and dale
in the blink of an eye.
Go now, my child.
Okay!
Don't turn back. Run forward.
You are truly a tough one.
You ran all the way here, you wench.
Let's continue to have fun.
THE KINGDOMS OF RUIN
I'm sorry
Wait. You can't just die like this!
What should I do?
What can I do to revive Chloe?
Listen to me
Witches are
What were you joking about, you witch?
You said that Chloe could be revived.
But how would I know what to do
if you just said that and nothing else?
You are going to die, you demon.
He's done for, General Yamato.
Don't get ahead of yourselves, humans.
Fire at once!
Reverse.
Die.
Written Summoning Magic.
Gigantification Reverse.
Disappear.
I'm really done for.
What a bunch of pesky bugs.
Do you really think you can defeat me?
Do you think you can win against magic?
After killing Chloe,
do you think you can
continue to live in peace?
How ridiculous!
I'm going to wipe all of you out.
It's your turn to go through
Chloe's despair.
Hurry up
Yuki.
This is DAM
The pinnacle of science that was once
used to defeat the witches.
We can seal off that man's magic
when it's activated.
Finally
I can be of help to my brother.
Hurry up and get on with it!
Sorry!
I knew that the impetuous
National Security Bureau would come here.
You are
REDIA EMPIRE,
ONE OF THE FOUR NATIONAL BUREAUS
NATIONAL SCIENCE BUREAU
"DIRECTOR OF THE SCIENCE BUREAU,"
Yuki.
"THETA SAMANSTAH"
Long time no see.
You've grown up a lot.
Unfortunately,
I can't let you activate this device.
What do you mean?
Please explain.
YUKI
What's wrong, Yuki?
Haven't you activated the device?
Looks like you are
a cat on hot bricks right now.
This voice. You are Director Theta.
Can we talk?
I don't have time to chat.
We are in a dire situation right now.
-My smartphone!
-Calm down, General Yamato.
We can't activate
the Magic Photon Suppressor.
Why?
Science is the light that is
brought upon the world of mankind.
However, it's also a fact
"BROTHER"
that there are still
"BROTHER"
a lot of unknown territories
"BROTHER"
when it comes to science.
One of them is the "Science Particles"
released by the Magic Photon Suppressor.
What is that?
Cellular Dysfunction disease.
Have you heard about that?
A disease suffered by soldiers who
took part in the witch hunt 10 years ago.
What kind of a disease is that?
There are a lot of factors in play.
Thus, we haven't confirmed the cause yet.
But we think that
the "Science Particles" are the cause.
This device can kill the body cells.
This is my first time hearing it.
Because it was swept under the carpet.
Unfortunately,
this world no longer has any witches
who can restore nature.
And the ozone layer
that can neutralize harmful rays is gone.
We have lost the grace of nature.
If human bodies are exposed
under those kinds of rays
the bodies will rupture.
Is that true?
The man who fought for mankind
and stood continuously in front
of that device. How is he now?
I'm sure you know the condition he's in.
So, His Majesty is ill because of
Okay. Now that you know it,
it's time for you to go back.
Yuki.
Yuki!
Stop right there!
Now is not the time to think about
whether or not we'll get sick.
The threat of magic
is right in front of us.
Yuki, I'll leave that to you.
It is a crucial mission for the nation.
Roger that!
Evacuate at once!
Now!
Yuki, wait!
You heard our conversation, right?
You can't activate it!
Even a moment of exposure
can cause a lot of damage.
Yuki!
This is a crucial mission for the nation.
ACTIVATE MAGIC PHOTON SUPPRESSOR
Brother.
Our target has dropped his quill,
General!
What happened, Director Theta?
Where's Yuki?
Nothing happened.
Don't worry about us.
Did Yuki do something?
Did she
Look ahead of you, Yamato!
Can't you defeat him
without the Magic Photon Suppressor?
Are we going to let this brat
walk all over us?
What is your job?
Eliminate anyone who wants
to bring harm to the empire.
That's right.
We are Redia.
An invincible empire.
Attack him with everything we have!
Aim!
Don't get into our line of fire.
How dare you do this to our nation
Do not approach him recklessly!
Activate thermochemical bayonet.
You are no apprentice of a witch!
Am I going to die?
Can I die now?
If that's the case,
I can finally
be with you again.
Did that soldier survive?
I can't confirm because
the smoke is too thick.
Hey, look.
I did it
I killed the apprentice of the witch
Thank goodness!
He's dead!
Which unit are you from?
You've made a great contribution.
Has the apprentice
of the witch been defeated?
This is the power of Redia!
That's what you get!
I am Yamato from
the National Security Bureau.
All of you have worked hard.
We've finally defeated
the apprentice of the witch.
But it's still too early to celebrate.
Retrieve his body at once and assess
the level of damage in each district.
Team up with the Rescue Unit
to help them with the disaster relief.
Is she the one who killed him?
She's quite young.
I think she's a new recruit
from the Mecha Unit.
-Let me check.
-No need for that.
Go and check on Director Theta
and Vice General Yuki at once.
Go now.
Roger that!
You are right,
Director Theta.
Our nation is still standing
strong and proud.
There's still magic in this world.
The forbidden force of power
still exists in this world.
The young man who was captured
10 years ago escaped
and that led to this terrible tragedy.
It was a disaster.
Adonis, the apprentice of the witch
who was supposed to be imprisoned forever,
was a human like us.
But he was corrupted by magic.
He was a remnant of evil
from the old world.
It's still beyond us
after 10 years of trying to find out
how he could control magic as a human.
But now that I think about it,
this catastrophe happened
because we spared his life back then.
But worry not,
the people of this empire.
This is Redia.
We are the pinnacle of this world.
We master the power of science
with a formidable army in our arsenal.
We will not submit to any evil.
It is an honour to be born
as a citizen of Redia.
Ignite the flame of honour in our hearts.
The old world is gone.
God is dead.
Our empire is the new God!
CONDOLENCES TO THE VICTIMS
REDIA EMPIRE, HIS MAJESTY EMPEROR GOETHE
Some of our students
were killed in the latest disaster.
I understand that it's quite saddening.
But the National Mock Test
will start tomorrow.
Pull yourself together.
Understand?
That's it for today's class meeting.
Sir.
He was a human. Why did he choose
to side with the witches?
That witch's apprentice.
I don't know.
Maybe he was brainwashed.
You have a PE class after this.
Go and get changed.
I saw it.
I saw what you did.
What?
Well, what has it got to do with you?
It was only normal for me to do so
in that situation.
Eri, let's go.
Yamane will nag at us
if we are late for our PE class.
Die, you ugly duckling.
KEEP OU
It was not a disaster.
Our empire just couldn't protect
its citizens well enough.
I'm sorry, Takuma.
I'm sure you hated me.
Eri
Eri, this is bad. Pull me out!
Wait. What are you doing, Takuma?
Eri.
I'm really sorry!
Wait, Eri!
Are you going to leave me to die?
But you are the one
who confessed to me first!
I'm the worst.
I left my own boyfriend to die.
But this person who used magic
He looked quite handsome.
That's really sinful.
I'm sorry if I scared you.
He's with the government
It's okay.
You don't have to delete those photos.
You like those photos, right?
But don't tell anyone about them.
After all, the apprentice of the witch is
the terrible sinner behind that disaster.
Don't be so scared.
I won't rat you out.
Well I'm truly sorry.
I I have to get going now.
Okay.
It's me, Oz.
The female student who's running toward
Grand Street in Sector Six, 2nd Division,
seems to be taken with the terrorist.
Arrest her.
I don't know.
Just hand her over
to the National Security Bureau.
She can be punished for treason
or sent to the asylum.
Chief Oz.
You are here.
We've completed the final check.
Let's go back now.
It's quite tiring
"NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE BUREAU, CHIEF OZ"
to inspect all the affected areas.
Can I get a kiss and a hug when I go back?
Ms. Charmy.
Chief Oz.
It's about time you approve
my transfer application.
Otherwise, I'll report you
to the Ministry of Labour.
I'll report that you are a boss who
overworks and harasses his employee.
Why is it that only our unit
has such a bad working environment?
Oh, right.
"NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE BUREAU"
There's another thing to report.
"CHIEF INVESTIGATOR"
I've just received the analysis report
"CHARMY"
and the outcome is horrible.
Please come back at once.
Sorry for the trouble.
Okay. Can you tell me
the conclusion of the report first?
Roger that.
It's about the body
of that witch's apprentice.
It's just a dummy.
