Pandemonium
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 There's nothing here.
You're such an idiot! They're hiding it with the magic, duh! Otherwise, all the players who heard about the rumor would rush to here and demand to change their class, too! It would be totally chaotic! I don't know if it's going to work, but if they're hiding there by creating a spatial distortion I will burn it along with that entire space! Ren-kun, did you see that just now? That confirmed it.
Let's hurry up and get out of here.
O-Okay.
Yeah! That was pretty rough for a knock, wasn't it, young man? Ren-kun? Ren? Hey, Ren! Where did you go? What's going on? Where did Ren-kun disappear to? Wh-Why would I know that? Ren! Answer me! Ren! Oh, you're finally here, Kazuma.
I've heard about it.
Supposedly you screwed up something? Yeah.
Kazuma? Now we're all here, let me get to the point.
In order to get to the bottom of the recent extraordinary happenings, we, Metropolitan Police Department Special Data Unit, hereby make an official request for the cooperation of the Kannagi family.
Let's hear about it.
The targeted demographic is young adults, junior high school students to college students, who spend a lot of their free time on the internet.
They've been indiscriminately given supernatural powers through a web site called "Pandemonium.
" Youmas are the source of that power.
"Do you want power?" They downloaded youmas converted into digital data from the internet.
They downloaded youmas converted into digital data from the internet.
Goodness You mean they were distributing youmas on the internet? That's how Utsumi and other ordinary people obtained the abilities and That's right.
We have obtained testimonies from multiple people with special abilities that we have arrested.
Everyone joined this game out of sheer curiosity, and no one understands the true meaning of it.
Not the fact that the powers they obtained belong to youmas possessing them, or the fact that if they keep on using their powers, it will eventually eat away their souls That's ridiculous! Just who's behind this?! We want to borrow your power in order to find that out, Ayano-chan.
Honestly, we're always the ones you to come for help whenever you're in trouble, aren't we? Ayano! I do have to admit that we lack resources.
But it's not as if we have no leads whatsoever.
According to the information It's impossible.
She will never return.
So that wasn't her.
No matter how much she resembled her Oh, yeah Tsui-Ling's eyes were green "Tsui-Ling?" Kazuma? Huh? Were you listening to what we were talking about? No, not at all.
Why, you! Sorry, but something came up.
So I won't be joining you guys on this one.
Kazuma? Wait a minute! What's going on with you? I don't know who they are, but I can't believe that they messed with me using an imitation of her I'd better find them and thank them for it! What are you talking about? Hey, Kazuma! Kanon-chan? Hello, Kanon-chan? What? Ren did? What do you mean by that? What's up? She said Ren's disappeared Kanon-chan! Tatsuya-kun! Big sis Ayano! This must've been tough for you guys.
Let us handle the rest.
We're really sorry! If If something happened to Ren, I would Stop being so negative, you stupid gorilla! It's okay! I swear we'll rescue Ren for sure! After all, Ren has a super-powerful big brother on his side! O-Okay! Come on, guys.
I'll take you home.
You'll get to ride in an unmarked patrol car! Not everyone gets to ride in it, you know! What do you think? There's definitely a spatial distortion over the upper part of the building.
And? I have to get closer to it to find out more.
Hey It sounds like basically you don't know anything! No, he's learned that his probe can only uncover that much about it.
That's real info.
If they can obstruct even your view, they must have some amazing power.
I don't know what kind of barrier they're surrounding themselves with, but all I have to do is to rip through that distorted space.
I'm going to go ahead.
Do not destroy the building! I'll be careful until I rescue Ren.
Be careful after that, too! Tell that to the other guys! Damn, what's going on today? First I run into a Tsui-Ling look-alike, and then Ren gets kidnapped I'm a busy man! So I'll take care of you real quick! Is that Pandemonium? This is Tachibana.
In addition to the evacuation of the people who are inside the building the residents in the surrounding areas that I just requested, I'd also like a media blackout on this.
Yes Thank you.
A cover-up operation? That, too, but we can't ignore the possibility of that building getting destroyed, can we? Good point I guess there's no way Kazuma will hold back on them now that Ren is involved in this.
If it comes down to it, you're my only hope, Ayano-chan.
Well, I'll try my best.
Come on.
Let's go.
This space has been distorted quite a bit.
I guess I'll tackle it at random.
This way! Let's see, how shall we get outside Let's hurry! Incredible wind Be careful! If you fall from here, I bet you'll have enough time to read your entire farewell poem before you actually die.
Stop being silly! It's over there.
A spatial distortion The barrier must've been unable to snap back to normal because Kazuma forcefully ripped through it.
What do you want to do? It looks like I could break through it with my Enraiha Let's not do that.
If the barrier disappears completely, Pandemonium will be on full display to the general public.
Then what should we do? Let me handle it.
Rin! Pyo! Tou! Sha! Kai! Jin! Retsu! Zai! Zen! [It's an exorcism purification spell.
.]
Wow, you're pretty good! Um, so you're Vesalius of Pandemonium? No, I'm Lapis.
I serve Master Vesalius.
I see.
If that's the case, will you take us to your master? My master will not meet anyone who doesn't have an appointment with him.
Please leave.
Then we're going to look for him ourselves! Let's go.
If you get any closer, I'll consider it hostile behavior and eliminate you.
Oh, really? How are you going to do that? Please leave.
Unwanted guests aren't allowed to enter Pandemonium.
Let me handle this.
Ayano-chan Come forth, Enraiha! Why you! Ayano-chan! It's unscathed even after touching Enraiha.
That means its size isn't the only special thing about it.
And she can swing it around like it's nothing Good grief So they connected distorted spaces and created a dimensional maze, huh? This is a pain.
I could rip through all the spaces as I go, but that could destroy this whole building, so If only I knew where Ren was That's pretty tasteless, don't you think, young man? If you need some light, I'll turn it on for you.
Just turn off that stone-age style lighting.
So you're Vesalius.
Isn't it the polite thing to introduce yourself first before you ask a man his name? There's no reason to be polite to a person like you! What a cold thing to say.
Welcome to Pandemonium, chosen one! Your power has reached the appropriate level for you to make further progress.
Do you wish to change your class? No, I don't! All the other ones nodded their heads very happily, though.
Because they didn't know that they had been possessed by youmas! Please stop doing stuff like this! I can't do that.
You see, a lot of effort has been involved in this experiment.
Experiment? That's right.
Experiment.
Just how strong are you? Stop getting carried away already! It absorbed it? An attack like this won't work on a fire magic use Having trouble, huh? Don't tell me you're losing.
Can't you even at least pretend that you're trying to help me? Don't be ridiculous.
How could I stick my nose into a sword fight like that? But you know Kazuma would I don't think it's fair to demand a human to be on Kazuma's level, you know.
Jeez, hurry up and find Ren and come back, Kazuma! What is this experiment about? What are you trying to do, making youmas possess random people?! Can you really afford to be worried about others? Big sis! Big brother! Both of them have come here to rescue you.
You're certainly loved, young man.
The one who's fighting against Miss Ayano Kannagi is my servant, Lapis.
She's been well trained to handle battle against magic-users.
She can hold her own even against someone who's a direct descendant of the Kannagi family.
And Kazuma Yagami The area he entered is a dimensional maze put together with distorted spaces.
Big brother can take care of stuff like that with his wind power He won't be able to do a reckless thing such as moving forward by ripping through the spaces.
After all, you're in captivity.
You, the most important person to our enemy, whom we can't despise enough! "Our enemy"? Is big brother your target? No, he's an added bonus.
I did know that he was in this town.
But I'm too busy to put so much into this just to harass him.
If that's the case, what is your motive? Hmm stage direction, maybe? When should I have all three of you meet up? I'm waiting for the most effective moment! The main characters' party discovers the hideout of the evil magic user! However, they fall into the trap and get separated! And each of them encounters formidable enemies! What do you think of this exhilarating situation? Obviously excellent stagecraft will be expected to crown the climax! N-No one cares about stuff like that! That's not true! The specific scene definitely needs some drama! For example Oh, yeah The very moment Lapis kills Miss Ayano, Kazuma Yagami steps into the scene.
Just like that You're right there, aren't you? What?! Big brother! Ren! Just call me! No matter where you are, I'll find you! I-Impossible! Big brother, I'm right here! Big brother! I won't let you! Yo, Ren.
You're not hurt, are you? Big brother! What you've done is absolutely unbelievable.
You are I see your style has changed pretty drastically.
What's up with your crazy get-up, Bernhardt Rhodes? You're not getting away! I'm not done yet! What do you mean by showing up in front of me again, Bernhardt? Don't you think you should've made more meaningful use of your life after I spared it so mercifully? Don't let it go to your head, you punk.
The only reason you've been able to survive until today is because we've considered you a trivial annoyance not worth bothering with.
Tell me, who the hell is going to defeat me? Me the man who slaughtered your master? Eh? If Almagest is in town, should I take it that the Tsui-Ling look-alike was your work? Answer me, Bernhardt! The last one! Y-You Big brother? 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 Almagest?! You mean, the magical association that's the leading authority in modern magic arts is involved? Who's this "Tsui-Ling" who was the basis of Lapis? Wait a second, Detective Tachibana! Do you know about that girl? About what happened four years ago, before Kazuma became the Contractor Next time on Kaze no Stigma: "The Remnant of Emerald Green.
" For Kazuma, this girl Tsui-Ling is
