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 Under the great weight of a single pain Emotions break loose and run through the darkness The memories unlocked them Blast of wind Just like water, destiny will begin to move forward on its own Will these hands go on being soiled, enfolded in hatred, not knowing true brilliance? Tell me if I can ever dream again A blast of wind in my heart softly blowing through my heart Please don't worry about Ren.
He seems to be a little depressed, but that's a problem on our side.
No need for you to concern yourself.
Well then.
Those Tsuwabuki They were saying they would kill him yesterday Father.
You're back.
How's Ren? He finally spoke to me, a little before noon I believe it was.
Really? So did the Tsuwabuki do something to him, like I thought? Before we get into that, there's something I need to tell you.
Huh? The grand ceremony the Tsuwabuki clan performs is no concern of the Kannagi clan's.
Are you telling me to stay away from the Tsuwabuki? Listen, Ayano.
No matter how much they disturb you I understand.
I'm still the successor of the Kannagi.
I think I understand the importance of their duty.
Then that's all right.
Well, about Ren There were three obstacles leading up to this grand ceremony.
One was the young boy of the Kannagi.
That has been settled.
The second is the fairy and the wind magic user.
And Yuji will handle them.
And the third one is I don't think you can interfere now that you look like this, Father.
Kureha, it wasn't the grand ceremony that I tried to stop! It was your ambition! If you only wanted to stop me you could've tried to talk to me, but you tried to kill me instead, didn't you? But you failed, and now look at you Here's another thing.
We're going to use Mayumi as the master of the ceremony as well.
What?! You must be very frustrated, Father, but there's nothing you can do.
W-Wait, Kureha! You just sit back and watch the end of the Tsuwabuki clan! Damn you, Kureha! Kureha! It's almost here Tonight, the night of the full moon My wish will finally come true.
Ren.
You're just looking spaced out at a place like this? Is this what you want? B-Big sis I've heard what happened.
So you abandoned that girl, huh? Abandoned her? They said you didn't do anything when the girl named Ayumi was taken away! Doesn't that mean you abandoned her? - No! I didn't mean to do that! - Then what? I had no choice She's the master of the grand ceremony And she's the clone specifically for that There's no replacement for her and There was nothing I could do, even though Ayumi-chan had to bear the burden of those things What's that got to do with anything?! You two became friends, didn't you? And that friend of yours was taken away! Are you sure you're okay with the way things are? Don't you think you need to do something? Ayumi-chan is an important friend to me, but there's nothing I can do for her Really? Then should I just go rescue her? Although the grand ceremony will be cancelled and Mt.
Fuji will erupt Becoming the master of the ceremony was Ayumi-chan's choice, too! There's nothing I can do I'll have to give up on Ayumi-chan and forget about it Is that really what you want? No My my true feeling is I want I want to see Ayumi-chan! I want to see her again and apologize to her, then tell her that I really had a good time yesterday and it was wonderful! Now that's what I'm talking about, Ren! Now let's go! Huh? I'll be there to see how things turn out for you and Ayumi-chan! Big sis But you need to be sure that you won't make a commotion! You'll go see Ayumi-chan and apologize to her.
That's all.
Okay! It looks great on you, Ayumi.
So I hear that your boyfriend dumped you? You need to forget about stuff like that.
Unnecessary thoughts will distract you from the ceremony.
You must focus on your role as the master of the ceremony.
But I do understand how you feel.
What? When you're different from others, you can never have a mutual understanding with anyone.
But that's just the way it is.
Because humans are foolish creatures.
That's right, it's just the way all humans are.
Kureha-sama, we have intruders! What? Is it the wind magic user? No, it's not! Two fire magic users! One of them is a woman and the other one is a boy! Ren! It was you who told me not to make a commotion! But I had no choice! They're the ones who started attacking first But that doesn't mean you have to counterattack! I didn't come here to fight! I came here only to see Ayumi-chan! If you let me through, I promise I won't interfere with the grand ceremony.
How are we supposed to trust you? Let's go! O-Okay! Before the grand ceremony starts I need to somehow Big sis! What is this thing? Got it! That's not going to do anything to me now! That voice I heard it somewhere Oh? So that's the famous Enraiha, huh? I guess you're not that bad! You go right ahead! I'm going to handle things here! But! Just go! I won't let him get away.
Ren! Let Ren go! Big sis! Enraiha doesn't work on him! Why? Resistance is futile! If you move I'll crush him! Ren! I remember now! That voice You're Yuji-san.
So you figured it out, huh, you little brat? Why do you look like that? Do you want to know why? I'll tell you.
The reason why I look like this is because I wanted strong power! In order to protect Mayumi-sama! To protect Mayumi-san? Interruptions during the grand ceremony will put Mayumi-sama's life in danger.
What? I can never let that happen! That's why Kureha-sama granted me with power.
In order to prevent interference during the grand ceremony and to protect Mayumi-sama I don't even care about my life! You little brat, are you as prepared as I? Unbelievable His determination is real.
But what he's telling me is somehow If you care deeply about someone you can sacrifice something But is that really how it should be? What? The feeling you convey to that person by sacrificing something Don't you think the person will be sad, receiving that kind of feeling from you? Shut up! Yeah, that's not right! After all, a feeling that ends up saddening that person is just Shut up! Ren! Ren, are you okay? Big brother! Yo! K-Kazuma! What are you doing here? Kazuma is here to retrieve the pixies' secret treasure Why is that thing with you? Well, it's a long story.
More importantly, don't let your guard down! That thing is still alive! That's some impressive regenerating ability.
What the hell is this thing? He's a member of the Tsuwabuki.
He used to be a human.
A human? In order to protect a certain someone, he sacrificed his body.
That sounds like what the Tsuwabuki would do.
What do you mean? They believe that you need to sacrifice something in order to protect something.
They've been sacrificing their own family members for a long time.
I can see them saying stuff like that.
It makes me sick.
L-Lady Mayumi, what are you doing? That was my first kiss! Now you have to take responsibility for it! T-Take responsibility? Stay by my side forever! Stay with me until I die and see everything that happens! Wh-What are you talking about? I found out about it today.
Sooner or later I'll give my life to silence Mt.
Fuji.
I guess I have no choice, huh? I can't escape from it even if I want to That's just the destiny of the Tsuwabuki clan.
Lady Mayumi Listen, Yuji! You must obey everything I say! And if I ever try to escape, you must catch me at any cost! That moment I swore my loyalty to her.
I swore that I'd even sacrifice my own life for the sake of Mayumi-sama! You can't defeat me.
I will not let you through here! What are we going to do, Kazuma? If he's an earth magic user, we should be able to defeat him if we can separate him from the ground! Under normal circumstances, that is What do you mean by that? Big brother.
Do you think you wouldn't mind dying if it were to protect me? Ren? What kind of question is that at a time like this? I don't even have to think what the answer should be! Even if I could protect you, it'd be meaningless if I died! We all should be happy together, right? I agree! Big sis, let me handle this.
W-Wait a minute, Ren! Did something happen to him? You're too late for that conversation! So are you going to beg for your life? "You must sacrifice something in order to protect something.
" Your family is hung up on that notion.
What? It's not just you, but Ayumi-chan, too! But that's the wrong way of thinking! Just like big brother said, everyone should be happy together! There is no such path for our family.
Why not? What's holding us back is the fate that we can never escape from! Fate? I see The real enemy which must be defeated is Enough of this idle talk! Why couldn't Ren's fire block the attack? Looks like that's a different kind of fire.
Wh-What's with this fire? What's going on? How? I couldn't even budge him with my Enraiha! Because you tried to cut the rock like an idiot.
Ren's fire purified the very agents which transformed him into that thing, without affecting his life.
Ren managed to use such a high-level technique? Ren, I heard what happened.
Big brother, I realized what the real enemy is I realized what it is that I must really defeat! R-Ren? Don't tell me you're Now this is interesting! He comes up with the craziest ideas.
You can sure tell he's my younger brother! There's nothing interesting about it! If he did that Right there? How pathetic.
And after I gave you the same power that I have Now that explains it.
You must be the wind magic user from the other day.
Kazuma Yagami.
I've heard some rumors about you, Kureha Tsuwabuki! So that was a gravity-controlling technique, huh? I thought that earth magic users couldn't perform such a trick.
That power It must belong to the beast! What? You're correct.
It is, in fact, the power of the beast that we've sealed inside Mt.
Fuji.
Then the reason why Yuji-san's body was transformed into such a form is That's right.
His body was fused with a part of the beast.
I knew it! The principle cause of all this is Now come at me.
But I won't be as easy to defeat as Yuji.
What do we do, Ayano? You know what they say! Might as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb! All right, now it's decided.
- Ren.
- Yes! You go on ahead.
Where did you send him? To his girlfriend.
You mean, to where Ayumi is? I already found out her location with my wind.
Oww Why did big brother do that?! Ren? Ren! Ayumi-chan! I finally found you! Who are you? What are you doing here? What am I doing here? At first I thought I just wanted to see you, Ayumi-chan.
I just wanted to apologize about yesterday and let you know that I had a good time with you.
Ren.
But now that I'm here, I figure that's not good enough! I want to rescue you, Ayumi-chan! And that's not all! I want to rescue Mayumi-san, too! I'm not going to let anyone be sacrificed! We're all going to be happy together! You bastard! What are you talking about? If you did such a thing, the beast would Then we'll just have to defeat the beast! That's right.
The true enemy that must be defeated is the beast! There's no way you can do such a ridiculous thing like that! We're going to remove you from here! I defeated Yuji-san before I came here.
Yuji-sama? Do you think you can beat me? Listen, Ayumi-chan, as long as we defeat the beast, no one has to be sacrificed.
Everyone can be happy.
That's not right.
That's not right! If you lose, the mountain will erupt and I'm sure you will be If that's what's going to happen, I'd rather After all, they created me for that purpose! You'll sacrifice yourself so you can protect others Yuji-san said something like that, too.
But you know what, Ayumi-chan? There has to be another path somewhere! I don't care if you think that sounds like a dream.
I still want to believe in that path! Why? Why would you go that far for someone like me? Even if there's no grand ceremony, I'll still die soon.
Then you should treasure your life even more! I'll make any of your wishes come true! I'll take you anywhere you want! So, Ayumi-chan, live your life with me! I I I want to live! I want to live with you, Ren! I want to stay alive for a long time! Yeah.
What's taking you so long? Big brother! It's nice to meet you, Ayumi-chan.
I'm Ren's brother.
N-Nice to meet you, too.
Where's big sis? She's keeping Kureha's attention from you.
You used her as bait again?! Then who would save you if I didn't do that? I'll be just fine all by myself! Come on, don't be like that.
Anyway, time is running out.
You're going to defeat the beast, aren't you? Yes! Sorrowful eyes What are you searching for in that sky? Using the blade of the wind, you keep everyone from getting close to you Quietly bleeding, crying and shouting all alone Ancient power, awaken from your slumber I've been waiting for this meeting for so long You are hiding incurable wounds Let me hold you in my arms one day Kureha's objective isn't to seal the beast? Kazuma, do you realize what you've done?! You know damn well even the Kannagi can't go up against the beast of Mt.
Fuji! Don't tell me Ayumi-chan's about to start the grand ceremony right here! No! If you do that you will Next time on Kaze no Stigma: "The Confession Under the Moon.
