Contractor
1 Eyes as clear as the azure sky.
That is how you tell a "Contractor.
" The stigma of the wind, marked on the one who has been entrusted with the entire world's atmosphere by the Spirit King of the Wind.
A blast of wind in my heart Tatta hitotsu no itami ga omokute Hashiri dasu kanjo kurayami wo kakeru Kioku ga kagi wo hazushita Blast of wind Kono mama unmei wa mizu no you ni hitori deni ugoki hajimeru Nikushimi ni dakare hontou no kagayaki shirazuni kono te wa yogosare tsuzukete yuku no ka Mata yume mireru ka kikasete A blast of wind in my heart softly blowing through my heart Wh-What? Here he is! I've been anxious to see you, Ryuya! I hear you're going to make my little brother a sacrifice.
Ryuya?! No way I didn't sense his presence at all When a topnotch wind magic user hides himself, there's no way a fire magic user can find him.
Make it close combat, and don't get too far from him no matter what.
Do not tell me what to do! Come forth, Enraiha! There's no youma that Enraiha can't destroy! Where's my backup? Kazuma! Kazuma? I'm going to go ahead, so take care of the rest, okay? Good luck! See ya.
You traitor! Go, Ren Kannagi.
Release the seal of our god, Gehou-sama, with your power! Our god! Eat away the child of the Kannagi right there, and give us the power! The power to destroy the Kannagi! In the nick of time! Stay quiet for a while.
Big brother! You finally woke up, little brother.
Big brother! What were you thinking, getting kidnapped by them so easily? Are you a captured princess or what? You're a man, so act like it! Well? Hey! I'm sorry! That hurts, big brother! Why? Why do you get in our way? The grudge held by the oppressed And the humiliation that comes with it! I know you understand exactly what it's like! Kazuma Yagami! You hate the Kannagi, too! Yeah, sure.
Emotionally, I think I'm more or less on your side.
Big brother! Then why do you help the Kannagi? We both hold a grudge against the Kannagi, so 100 million yen.
Huh? Soshu hired me.
For 100 million yen.
So you're here because you're getting paid? Not to rescue me? I always make sure I get whatever I can.
It was like killing two birds with one stone, you know? Why you! How could we let a man like him ruin our long-cherished wish? Ryuya! So Ayano lost No way! Big sis would never lose! The spirits are calling each other! That's right, Ryuya! Now is the time to place our god within you! Gehou-sama! To start, give your divine crushing blow to these Kannagi brats! Gehou-sama! He must be heading towards the Kannagi main house.
Why Wasn't that youma on their side? He must've snapped after being locked away for so long.
All that was left was his hatred of the Kannagi, who locked him away.
That's terrible They just received punishment for what they've done.
But You're so naive.
Big brother! I'm going to go after Ryuya.
I don't give a damn what happens to the Kannagi, but my reward money will go up in smoke if Soshu gets killed, you know.
Oh, before I do that I guess I'd better pick that one up, too, huh? B-Big sis! Look at that He beat her up good, didn't he? Big sis wake up! Sis! Big brother, Ayano is She's going to die.
What? The wound itself isn't that bad, but the spirits that entered her through it are affecting her body.
They're not far from taking over entirely.
No way Isn't there a way to help her? Hmm I wouldn't say there's no way, but It'd be a waste.
What did you say? This medicine is pretty valuable.
I'll probably never be able to get it again.
So you're going to give up on her? Is that medicine more important to you than her life? So what if Ayano dies? I don't see any problem.
You can just become the inheritor of the Enraiha.
I bet the old man will be happy, too.
Don't Don't give me that! Give me that medicine! Flames of anger That is indeed the key to truly synchronizing with spirits of fire All right then.
Don't get so mad.
This isn't going to work.
What! N-No way Wh-Why? Why were you Wh-Why? Oh, no! Wh-What did you do that for? You jerk! Fine way to talk to the person who just saved your life.
What? Big sis! Oh, I'm so glad! R-Ren? Big brother saved your life! By giving you the medicine he had with him! M-Medicine? What was it? Elixir.
Elixir Huh? What?! You mean, the alchemists'? The medicine known as the rarest of the rare? See, I told you it was something I'd never be able to get again.
Now don't you have something to say? Th-Thank you Don't worry about it.
I'll claim its cost as a necessary expense.
For about another 100 million yen.
Hey now! More importantly, why did you lose? I thought that there was "no youma that Enraiha couldn't defeat"? You couldn't burn Ryuya even after directly stabbing him with it? Well, that's because Ah, I see, you couldn't even touch him with Enraiha? F-First of all, you're the one who dumped Ryuya on me! Yeah, sorry about that.
I didn't realize you were that weak.
I guess you were being serious when you attacked me the other day then.
- I thought you were holding back a little since we're family and all - Kazuma! That's what I'm talking about! What? Ren.
Yes! Okay, shall we go now? There he is.
Now there are more ghostly spirits! Is that Ryuya? If the ghostly spirits continue to spread out like that, they'll awaken the evil ghosts that are lingering in the ground, too! Can we really win against something like that? What, are you scared just because you lost once? You're the next Soshu of the Kannagi, aren't you? All right, all right! Destroying youma is the Kannagis' mission! I will defeat him, even if it costs me my own life! Don't say you'll stake your own life.
Death means the end of everything.
Your past and future can be lost in the blink of an eye, and there's no starting over.
But you know what? As long as you live, there'll always be a chance to score an upset victory.
The one who survives wins.
So don't you ever give up, not even to the very end! Let's go! Look! Ren! I'll take care of the evil ghosts! We're counting on you, bro! Yes! Kannagi fire is the fire of purification.
The power given to us to destroy evil beings! In the name of the head Kannagi family Evil spirits, return to the darkness! What are you doing? Shut up! Behind you! Kazuma.
He's a problem.
What? Wh-What are we supposed to do with that? You just focus on cutting Ryuya down.
I'm going to suppress his wind.
Suppress? That stuff? I'll manage it.
So you finish him off.
You can do it, right? Go! Now, what shall I do? Create a tornado about the same size as that and cancel his wind? Nah, I'll crush him from above.
Bring it on! A downburst? I-Incredible Here comes the finishing touch! Y-You damn monster! He survived it? If that's the case, I guess I have to use that one Well, let's just hope she'll do her best! Ayano! I'm going to hit him with something big, so buy me some time to work it up! Wh-Who made you the boss? "Buy some time"?! How about my backup? Hey, Kazuma! Kazuma! Kazuma, you idiot! If I die, I'll come back and haunt you! There'll be ghostly lights by your pillow every night and you'll never have any decent sleep ever again!! In the name of the contract, entrust me with all the winds.
Kazuma, aren't you ready yet? I-I can't win Not with my power So you finish him off.
You can do it, right? I can't do it I can't defeat him That's why he's I'm gonna hit him with something big, so buy me some time to work it up! He doesn't expect anything from me anymore, or trust me at all.
What, are you scared just because you lost once? You're the next Soshu of the Kannagi, aren't you? Don't you underestimate me! Give me a break! I can take care of a thing like this all by myself just fine! You just stand there and watch me do this until you fall over dead! You've got to be kidding me You did well.
Kazuma.
Huh? What happened to your eyes? Oh, these? The Spirit King of the Wind marked me when we made the deal.
Spirit King? Deal? A Contractor?! No way! Now, it's about time for you to go to sleep, Ryuya! He's purifying Ryuya's wind! Ayano.
Yeah! Die, youma! Big brother! Big sis! Don't you think you could've won without me? 'Course not.
Having the contract with the Spirit King doesn't mean I'm almighty.
I guess you're right.
You sure took forever to prepare for that attack Yeah.
Tell me when you were really ready! Around the time you got blown away.
Then why didn't you hurry up and help me then? Now look, if the whole thing had ended without your moment, you'd feel like a loser for the rest of your life! You've got your Enraiha, so just charge at it and chop it up with no fear! I know that! Anyway, that final blow was pretty sweet.
Wh-Why are you complimenting me all of a sudden? By the way, how long are you planning to look like that? Huh? Big brother! Big sis! Idiot! Looks like someone really let loose on this place, too.
I wonder if the same wind magic user also did this So he really did come back.
Kazuma Well, I'm going home.
What are you going to do now? Who knows? You're not young anymore, so don't push yourself too hard.
