That is how you tell a "Contractor.

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 Passport please.
Here you are.
You're an American citizen, correct? Are you here for sight-seeing? No.
For a duel.
Excuse me? I came here to retrieve a title from a remote and backward clan, so I could return it to the one who deserves it! Therefore, this is how to solve this problem.
This formula is going to be in the test.
Got it? Let's see, why don't I ask someone to solve the next problem? How about Kannagi? Kannagi! Can't you hear me, Kannagi? Y-Yes! What are you doing? That's not like you.
I-I'm sorry! Ayano-chan, you're going to go on a date with Kazuma-san today, aren't you? H-H-H-How How did I know? Who wouldn't figure it out? You've been way too restless since this morning! You're acting like an elementary school kid who's about to go on a field trip.
B-But why does that make you think I have a d-date with Kazuma? Because I can't think of any other event that you'd be looking forward to so much.
I'm not looking forward to it! I just want to receive legitimate compensation that I deserve from him! On our last job, he made me fight all by myself again, and didn't do a single thing to help, that jerk! So as payback, I'm going to make him buy me super expensive dinner at a super expensive restaurant today and I'm determined to eat a whole lot more than usual.
That's all! So it is a date then.
Totally.
Did you two even hear what I just said? I just want to go to a super expensive restaurant and eat super ex Super expensive dinner, right? I know, this is a real grown-up date, right? Tonight Ayano will finally start walking up the stairs of adulthood.
Like I said, it's not like that!! All right.
Shall we? Y-You'd better have a reservation.
Remember, I won't forgive you unless you let me eat 10 times more than usual today! Yes, Miss.
Sure, Miss.
I wonder how big brother and big sis are doing right now? I saw big sis really dressed up and looking very excited.
I think those two have started getting along better little by little lately.
I hope things will keep working out for them.
It'd be a problem if it didn't work out.
What? Kazuma is someone we need for the Kannagi family's future.
Yes, he did leave the family before, but I believe he should eventually return to the Kannagi.
Does that have anything to do with a good relationship between big brother and big sis? I can't believe how shiftless they both are! To think they haven't made any progress even though I keep on making opportunities for them It'd be nice if they could go ahead and make a mistake or two tonight Mistake? Who'd thought you'd own clothes like that? Huh? Oh You fell in love with me all over again? A-As if! One time I had to infiltrate the royal palace in England for work.
I had no choice but to have it made.
Royal palace? I guess you've gotten involved in all kinds of stuff all over the world, huh? You could say that.
That was right after I slanted Big Ben, so I was really nervous, thinking that they might find out about it.
Do you just destroy buildings wherever you go?! I don't know why, but it always turns out that way.
I just don't get it.
I mean, I'm a totally harmless guy by nature This is a 2003 Chateau Mangot.
You want some, too? N-No way! Oh yeah, no alcohol before 20, right? [20 is the drinking age in Japan.
.]
Be quiet! We're "Howling of the Defeated Dog," a militia that fears for the state of this world! All of you put your hands in the air and go stand against the wall! Check it out! This is exactly what I'd expect from the customers who look like celebrities! They've got nothing but expensive stuff! To hell with the winning group! They sure let it go to their heads! All the money and valuables you gave us will be used to help the victims of social disparity, in other words, us! Hey, you two! Didn't you hear my instructions? We'll show no mercy if you cross us! Just shut up and surrender! You're the ones who should shut up.
What? This young lady is pretty upset because you interrupted her feeding time.
Hey now! You think this is a joke? You're just some damn social winners! Boss! What? I didn't do anything just yet! That's a spirit beast.
You mean, like when you combine a lot of spirits and let a virtual character control them? That's enough, Azazel! Good boy, you did a good job.
On the other hand, Kannagi maiden You really disappointed me.
Who are you? I'm sorry for not introducing myself sooner.
I am Catherine McDonald.
Don't tell me you've never heard of the prestigious name of the McDonald family before.
I've never heard of it.
The McDonald family is the most respected fire magic users family in America.
They have some pretty high-level techniques, especially when it comes to spirit beasts.
We have the best technique in the world! We exert immeasurable power through a legion of spirits unified under one virtual character! You see, it's an elegant technique that some remote and backward fire magic users can't even come close to! Basically you just don't have the ability to deal with that many spirits all at one time, so you let a virtual character control them for you, right? I don't want to hear that from someone who just sat there and watched the whole thing blankly with those thugs in front of you! Please! You completely went overboard just to drive them away, too! A little sacrifice is inevitable when it comes to carrying out justice! What?! More importantly, it is destiny that we met each other here, you maiden of the Kannagi.
Actually, I was going to pay a visit to the Kannagi head family later on.
To my house? I want you to relinquish your family's title of "most powerful fire magic users" to me! What did you say? And I want you to hand over the legendary sacred weapon Enraiha, which you received from the Spirit King, as the proof of that title! Are you nuts? You won't get hurt as long as you quietly hand it over to me.
Well, I'm sure the person who was trembling before those thugs wouldn't have guts to fight against me to begin with! What?! B-Bring it on! I don't particularly think I'm the "strongest one.
" But you know what? There's no way I'd hand over the Kannagi family's pride and our reputation as the most powerful ones to some family fresh on the scene! F-Fresh on the scene?! It is true that my family hasn't been around that long, but the techniques that we've established are much better than any fire magic user's in the world! Oh, you guys must've worked really hard! But don't you think it's a little cocky for you to think you can challenge the Kannagi family? What did you say?! I'll forgive you if you get down on your knees and apologize right now.
Bring it on! The emergent family that you disdain I'll show you how powerful we are! Am I the one who has to stop this if it goes too far? Jeez, I hate this Come forth, my guardian Metatron! What do you think? This is the ultimate spirit beast Metatron, representing the combined forces of my entire family! Hundreds? No maybe thousands? An enormous number of spirits are bundled into one with her technique? But Do you seriously think your fire attacks will work on a fire magic user? So you think I'm a fool? But Metatron's fire is special.
It's heterogeneous fire that can easily burn even the Kannagi maiden away.
Now here I come! What? What's up with this thing's movement? What makes you think a spirit beast would have the same kind of movements as normal creatures? Shut up! I got careless for a second, but his movement itself is no match for my Enraiha! How do you like that? What are you talking about? What? Oh yeah, that is just a bundle of spirits.
It's not going to die just because I slash it.
Hey, Kazuma! Let me ask you this just for my reference! What would you do in this case? Huh? Hey Kazuma? You can't afford to look away! Now are you ready to admit your loss? Yeah, right! What? A fight between fire magic users? Right.
Judging from the information that I've got from the witnesses, it seems that the one of them is Ayano-san.
What? Yes.
Of course I'll take care of it seamlessly.
But there's one thing It's been reported that the building I just told you about has been possessed by some negative spirit Negative spirit? It doesn't have power to harm anything directly, but it looks like its stagnant aura has started affecting its surroundings.
For example, people who are visiting the building become excessively cranky, and people with destructive intentions get lured to the building without their knowledge I see.
So this thing drew those morons into here earlier, huh? Good grief Thanks to you, my little princess is going berserk over there.
Interesting.
You want to challenge me? Out of my way! Rest in peace.
Your goose is almost cooked, Kannagi maiden.
Shut up! Why do you know a phrase like that in Japanese anyway? A correspondence course.
What? Go get her, Metatron! Oh no, you won't! You don't know when to stop, do you? Now try again, Metatron! This is endless.
You're not done yet? Kazuma! Where were you all this time?! You just passed right by me earlier.
You didn't realize I was there? Oh well.
More importantly, can't you just finish that stupid thing off already? W-Well, what am I supposed to do, then?! You've got what you must see and what you must burn wrong.
What? Hey, don't just stand there.
It's coming.
You're going to be defeated right here, Kannagi's maiden! Look how fast it's regenerating now! So she's giving it all, too, huh? But I have a solution, too What I must burn What am I supposed to burn? Is it that woman? Is it the technique that's constructing that spirit beast? Or is it his fire itself? Out of my way! I get it! What? Now, Metatron! Metatron? Kannagi flame, return the distorted spirit to its rightful form! Y-You purified Metatron? That's right.
Metatron's fire turned into something heterogeneous, bundled together with your magic.
In the sense that it's an unnatural distortion, it's no different from evil spirits or youma! H-How dare you! If you release all the flames that construct Metatron at a place like this What? Man Th-Thanks, Kazuma.
You're welcome.
Kannagi maiden! I'll be nice and call it a draw for today! What? No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who won! If you want me to, I'll purify him again! A-Anyway, I swear I'll defeat you decisively next time! Shut up! Don't you ever come back! I mean, I'll take you out right now! That's enough! There's a more important thing you need to worry about.
I managed to release most of the explosion outside, but significant degree of the impact hit the roof.
That rooftop will cave in soon! What? The condition of the floor on the top story is pretty shaky, too.
It probably won't be able to support it.
There's a possibility that the whole building will go down in a chain reaction.
But I only listened to your advice and did what I did I didn't imagine you wouldn't be thinking anything about what might happen after you purified him! Wh-What should I do? Burn it away with your Enraiha until there's no trace of it.
What? Only the top floor.
Burn away only the badly damaged area, without any impact to the floors below.
Once the weight on the top is removed, the building itself should be able to hold up.
But, what if I mess it up? I'll support you.
So knock yourself out.
Yeah! I'm exhausted.
Why did it have to turn out this way? Maybe your everyday conduct is bad.
I don't want to hear that from you! It was supposed to be a special night Ayano.
Look.
"Ramen" Here you go! Whoa, it looks good! How did a super high-end full course meal turn into a bowl of ramen at a ramen stand? If you've got complaints, don't eat it.
Who said I'm not eating? It's so good! This is tasty! What's that? A bottle of wine.
It's already open, so it'd be a waste if I didn't finish it, right? I can't believe you! Were you worried about stuff like that when I was fighting so hard? Hey pops, can I borrow some glasses? Sure thing.
Hey, how about it? It's a 2003 Chateau Mangot Great! I appreciate it.
Oops.
Wh-Wh-What are you doing? Huh? My wine got spilled, and I didn't want to waste it.
That was sexual harassment! A crime! You idiot! I I hate you so much! Okay, the Kannagi will pay for all the repair fees for the building.
That's all right.
Just send the bills to me.
Well, thank you very much.
So a mistake really did happen then? No Well, I guess it did.
