1. There's a fire in the Arakawa
Shopping District's bazaar.Copy !req
2. The source of the fire is a single Infernal.Copy !req
3. There's one casualty as well—
an employee at a fruit market.Copy !req
4. Understood.Copy !req
5. One casualty already?Copy !req
6. Sister, please get ready.Copy !req
7. Yes, sir.Copy !req
8. Spider Net on!Copy !req
9. The road has been closed off.Copy !req
10. We're okay over here, too!Copy !req
11. Here it comes!Copy !req
12. The flame is the soul's breath.Copy !req
13. The black smoke is the soul's release.Copy !req
14. Ashes thou wert and art.Copy !req
15. May thy soul return to the great flame of fire.Copy !req
16. Launching Special Extinguishing Grenade!Copy !req
17. Látom!Copy !req
18. We have finished putting her to rest.Copy !req
19. Sister! Is the Infernal— Is my wife...?Copy !req
20. You are a member of the family?Copy !req
21. My wife received
the Holy Sol Temple's salvation...Copy !req
22. and has obtained
the mercy of Sol, hasn't she?Copy !req
23. Yes. Your wife has passed on peacefully
into the presence of the Lord.Copy !req
24. It means that the Holy Sol Temple's scripturesCopy !req
25. would be presenting
teachings that are incorrect.Copy !req
26. It's possible the Evangelist and
the Holy Sol Temple are connected?Copy !req
27. I mustn't dwell on such worldly thoughts.Copy !req
28. "Episode 18:
The Holy Woman's Anguish"Copy !req
29. Let's see...Copy !req
30. Those flechettes, too?Copy !req
31. Yes, sir. That's all of it.Copy !req
32. We've had a lot of callouts recently,Copy !req
33. so our unbaptized equipment
is starting to pile up.Copy !req
34. But the sister can't
carry all of this by herself.Copy !req
35. Huh? You want me to accompany
the sister to the Central ChurchCopy !req
36. to baptize our equipment?Copy !req
37. Yeah, otherwise known as the Baptism Church.
You've never been, have you?Copy !req
38. No, sir.Copy !req
39. The equipment we need baptized is in there.Copy !req
40. All right, sir.Copy !req
41. Excuse me. I'm ready to go at any time.Copy !req
42. I'm looking forward to going with you today.Copy !req
43. Right! Let's go get 'er done! Yay!Copy !req
44. "Yay!"Copy !req
45. How adorable is that?Copy !req
46. Church date with the sister...
Church date with the sister...Copy !req
47. That's not too heavy, is it?Copy !req
48. Piece of cake!Copy !req
49. It must be a real chore
doing this alone all the time.Copy !req
50. Normally, there isn't this much to carry.Copy !req
51. "Power cobra"Copy !req
52. I need to work out so I don't
get outdone by the rest of you.Copy !req
53. Th-The sister's milky-skinned,
supple upper arm...!Copy !req
54. No! It's wrong to look at the sister like that!Copy !req
55. "Impermissible power cobra"Copy !req
56. That is an off-limits upper arm!Copy !req
57. "Tokyo Empire, Chuo-ku, Central Church"
"known as the 'Baptism Church'"Copy !req
58. This is the Baptism Church?Copy !req
59. This water—is this where
the equipment is baptized?Copy !req
60. It will take some time before I'm finished,
so please, feel free to look around.Copy !req
61. Right. Okay, I'll see you later.Copy !req
62. It doesn't look like there's going to be time
for a nice stroll with the sister.Copy !req
63. Of course not. This is work.Copy !req
64. Even a church as pretty as this oneCopy !req
65. has the specter of the Evangelist
overshadowing its origins.Copy !req
66. The sister is conducting herself
as cheerfully as ever,Copy !req
67. but her smile seems a bit awkward.Copy !req
68. If she's concerned about something,
I'd be happy to be of help to her.Copy !req
69. Hallowed Lord, who shineth in the heavens,Copy !req
70. may the blessings of baptism be
upon those that reach thy presence.Copy !req
71. The Evangelist is the one
who founded the Holy Sol Temple.Copy !req
72. Who exactly am I offering up my faith to?Copy !req
73. Sister Iris, your worldly thoughts
are quite evident.Copy !req
74. Oh, I'm sorry!Copy !req
75. I have to say, it's pretty here.Copy !req
76. Oh, if it isn't Kusakabe-kun, from the 8th.Copy !req
77. Long time no see, Lieutenant Huo Yan!Copy !req
78. You don't see that very often here.Copy !req
79. I'm here having some
pacification equipment baptized.Copy !req
80. It's admirable that you are so earnest
about coming for the baptisms.Copy !req
81. What do you mean by that, sir?Copy !req
82. You must have heard things about
the Holy Sol Temple and the Evangelist.Copy !req
83. Whatever is being said, some units
have been neglecting baptisms lately.Copy !req
84. Huh?Copy !req
85. Even Karim seems to be growing
disenchanted with the Holy Sol Temple.Copy !req
86. Could that be bothering the sister, too?Copy !req
87. Lieutenant Huo Yan, what do you think?Copy !req
88. When I heard the Holy Sol Temple
may have been created by the Evangelist,Copy !req
89. it came as a shock. However,Copy !req
90. the Holy Sol Temple reveres the Sun
and its fire, not the Evangelist.Copy !req
91. As long as we have the Sun
that I've venerated for so long,Copy !req
92. my faith will not be shaken.Copy !req
93. On the other hand, I have become
aware of something frightening.Copy !req
94. If the Evangelist is nothing more than a sham,Copy !req
95. she has been having others worship her as a god,Copy !req
96. while enriching herself this whole time.Copy !req
97. That's true.Copy !req
98. But the truth of the matter is,
the Evangelist lurks in the shadows.Copy !req
99. As such, it lends veracity to
the idea that the Evangelist's peopleCopy !req
100. are plotting to destroy the world.Copy !req
101. You're saying that our faith is dangerous?Copy !req
102. People need faith.Copy !req
103. We need something to believe in.Copy !req
104. Lieutenant Huo Yan, was it because of your faithCopy !req
105. that you were able to protect
Lieutenant Karim without hesitation?Copy !req
106. I suppose so. Just as I have faith
in the Holy Sol Temple,Copy !req
107. I also believe in Karim.Copy !req
108. It's a hard thing to lose
something you believe in.Copy !req
109. If you have the power to believe,
you can save your friends.Copy !req
110. The power to believe...Copy !req
111. —You're going to, Benimaru.Copy !req
112. —No matter what anyone else says,
Asakusa is your town, Waka.
—You're going to, Benimaru.Copy !req
113. —No matter what anyone else says,
Asakusa is your town, Waka.Copy !req
114. They don't want to hear just anyone's words;Copy !req
115. —they want to hear the words of Beni.Copy !req
116. —You men know what I mean, right?
—they want to hear the words of Beni.Copy !req
117. If it means supporting Waka,Copy !req
118. I'll offer my two-bit life
as many times as I need to.Copy !req
119. It's because the 7th has such unfaltering heartsCopy !req
120. that they've become as strong as they are.Copy !req
121. But if we lose the things we believe in...Copy !req
122. I apologize for keeping you waiting.Copy !req
123. I wasn't praying wholeheartedly
and got yelled at.Copy !req
124. Not at all. You're fine.Copy !req
125. Someone as faithful as the sister...Copy !req
126. Well, should we head back?Copy !req
127. O-Oh, um...Copy !req
128. There's someplace I'd like to
stop by on the way, if we could.Copy !req
129. What is this?Copy !req
130. The National Holy Sol Cemetery.
It's where all the clergy get buried.Copy !req
131. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
132. Whenever I come for baptisms,
I always stop by here.Copy !req
133. I visit the graves of the sisters
from the convent where I grew up.Copy !req
134. Amazing!Copy !req
135. Look at all the sunflowers!Copy !req
136. Sunflowers face the sun to bloom.Copy !req
137. That's why they plant them near graves—Copy !req
138. so the dead know the way to the Sun.Copy !req
139. This way. Will you pray with me?Copy !req
140. Of course!Copy !req
141. "Rest in Peace"Copy !req
142. That's quite a dazzling display.Copy !req
143. That's Hibana nee-san's doing.
How are they supposed to rest like this?Copy !req
144. Captain Hibana did?Copy !req
145. These flowers are tidy. It looks like
she just came by recently.Copy !req
146. You might not guess it, but she did
love everyone from the convent.Copy !req
147. She comes to visit regularly.Copy !req
148. She does overdo it a bit, though.Copy !req
149. "Rest in Peace"Copy !req
150. How is everyone? Sister Clematis,
you shouldn't eat too much.Copy !req
151. Sister Sakura, be sure not to stay up too late.Copy !req
152. Next time, I'll come by before Nee-san
jazzes everything up, okay?Copy !req
153. Say, Sister...Copy !req
154. Yes?Copy !req
155. Maybe it's just my imagination...Copy !req
156. but if there's anything troubling you,
perhaps I can help?Copy !req
157. Is it the matter with the Evangelist?Copy !req
158. Is it that obvious?
I guess I'm not very practiced.Copy !req
159. You're always pushing
Vulcan's buttons and stuff—Copy !req
160. going straight after whatever you desire.Copy !req
161. You're not difficult to read, is all.Copy !req
162. Oh, but I mean, your forthrightness is
a good thing. It lightens everyone's mood.Copy !req
163. Shinra-san, what do you think about
the Holy Sol Temple?Copy !req
164. What do you think about
those of us who believe in it?Copy !req
165. Huh? What do I—Copy !req
166. What was that?Copy !req
167. Oh, Father...!Copy !req
168. Are you hurt?Copy !req
169. The priest just suddenly...!Copy !req
170. An Infernal!Copy !req
171. Why? He is always praying! Why would he...?Copy !req
172. I'll put him to rest!Copy !req
173. Please keep back!Copy !req
174. Sister! The prayer!Copy !req
175. R-Right.Copy !req
176. The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.Copy !req
177. Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...Copy !req
178. return to the great flame of fire!Copy !req
179. Látom.Copy !req
180. Why? Oh, Father!Copy !req
181. He prayed to God every day.Copy !req
182. Just what good are our prayers?Copy !req
183. Sister...Copy !req
184. Does God not have any mercy?Copy !req
185. Látom.Copy !req
186. It is fortunate that there was
a Fire Soldier here.Copy !req
187. Oh, no...Copy !req
188. The father was such a good man.
What does God take our prayers for?Copy !req
189. About what we were discussing before...Copy !req
190. If the Evangelist was the one
who created the Holy Sol Temple,Copy !req
191. doesn't that mean that the God
we worship is the Evangelist?Copy !req
192. The Evangelist...?Copy !req
193. An inhuman being beyond human understanding.Copy !req
194. When I experienced that Adolla Link,Copy !req
195. I felt the impression that she was
just such an otherworldly being.Copy !req
196. That might just be close to
who we picture as "God" in our minds.Copy !req
197. But this God wants people to destroy the world,Copy !req
198. and wishes death and suffering upon us.Copy !req
199. If we clergy members believe in her teachings...Copy !req
200. then we are also
leading people to their deaths.Copy !req
201. That's not true!Copy !req
202. I'm the one who killed him.Copy !req
203. No! Shinra-san, you gave him rest
from the torment of the flames!Copy !req
204. Yes. There was no choice but to put him to rest.Copy !req
205. I realize that, but my feet
are still tingling, even now,Copy !req
206. and my heart is fluttering.Copy !req
207. Once, Captain Obi said to meCopy !req
208. that the most terrifying thing about
this job is getting accustomed to it.Copy !req
209. I thought I wanted to get
a little used to this, but I couldn't.Copy !req
210. Still,Copy !req
211. that's precisely the reason why
we Fire Soldiers need sisters.Copy !req
212. I ran into Lieutenant Huo Yan earlier.Copy !req
213. He said that the Sun he prays to
is unmistakably there,Copy !req
214. and that his faith has
nothing to do with the Evangelist.Copy !req
215. I suppose that's true.Copy !req
216. So you please keep looking forward, too, Sister.Copy !req
217. It's because you see the Sun—Copy !req
218. see its light that the rest of us
can keep fighting.Copy !req
219. To those of us at the 8th,
you are kind of like our own sunflower.Copy !req
220. I'm... the 8th's...Copy !req
221. sunflower?Copy !req
222. But irises aren't sunflowers.Copy !req
223. Right, sorry!Copy !req
224. Thank you very much.
You've made me... very happy.Copy !req
225. But please don't overdo it, okay?Copy !req
226. Sure.Copy !req
227. I'm fine.Copy !req
228. Sister Iris, that was a very good prayer.Copy !req
229. Thank you very much.Copy !req
230. Okay...Copy !req
231. Do you want me to carry one?Copy !req
232. Oh, no. The heavy lifting is our job, after all.Copy !req
233. If I had to, I could even carry you, as well!Copy !req
234. Muscles! Muscles!Copy !req
235. Huh? That would be too much!Copy !req
236. I could totally do it! C'mon, c'mon!Copy !req
237. I-I'm on.Copy !req
238. Oh, I can do it.Copy !req
239. Wah! Are you all right?Copy !req
240. Compared to all the captain's gear,
this is nothing!Copy !req
241. Shinra-san...Copy !req
242. the next time I have something
on my mind, I'll come to you with it first.Copy !req
243. Right. I'll be glad to.Copy !req
244. I promise.Copy !req
245. What's this? His training is complete?Copy !req
246. At last, he has completed his training.Copy !req
247. The 8th is finished for sure this time.Copy !req
248. The Fire Blast departs.Copy !req
249. Or rather...Copy !req
250. off he goes.Copy !req
251. "Episode 18:
The Man, Assault"Copy !req
252. In my clash with the 8th in the Nether,Copy !req
253. I was to eliminate them all as the Slaughterer.Copy !req
254. However, I ran into an
unexpected assassin there...Copy !req
255. Tamaki Kotatsu. Despite her innocent appearance,Copy !req
256. her shamelessness is unparalleled.Copy !req
257. She makes my skin crawl.
If I'm going to bring down the 8th,Copy !req
258. I'll have to take her out first.Copy !req
259. That's why I've been training. Day in
and day out, sunrise to sunset, I trained.Copy !req
260. All to resist that damnably audacious woman!Copy !req
261. I read pornographic magazines.Copy !req
262. I also took in lewd books,
and even viewed salacious videos.Copy !req
263. I looked at everything!Copy !req
264. I have overcome the female form.Copy !req
265. Just you wait, Tamaki Kotatsu.Copy !req
266. Away!Copy !req
267. "Letter of challenge"Copy !req
268. What's this?Copy !req
269. "I will expect you at the picturesque
vacant lot in 2-chome."Copy !req
270. Is this a new style of love letter?Copy !req
271. "Vacant lot"Copy !req
272. It's you...Copy !req
273. Assault, the Bloody Fire Blast!Copy !req
274. You have guts, coming here alone,
Tamaki Kotatsu.Copy !req
275. Why are you here?Copy !req
276. There's no reason to explain to someone
whose death is imminent. Die!Copy !req
277. The wrinkle in her underwear— It's so sensuous!Copy !req
278. Damn it! I never realized it was this bad!Copy !req
279. Off I go...Copy !req
280. It's different when it comes to the real thing.Copy !req
281. Nya!Copy !req
282. What? Assault failed?Copy !req
283. It seems that this target
is exceptionally powerful.Copy !req
284. So where is Assault right now?Copy !req
285. Apparently embarking on new training.Copy !req
286. I was a fool for thinking I knew what I was
dealing with from paper and video.Copy !req
287. The real thing... The real thing
is so much different.Copy !req
288. In which case... off I go!Copy !req
289. "Club Chupa Cabaret"Copy !req
290. Away!Copy !req
291. Welcome, sir.Copy !req
292. Welcome, sir.Copy !req
293. —Do you have someone specific in mind?
—One bottle coming up.Copy !req
294. You sure your breasts
haven't gotten even bigger?Copy !req
295. Ha-ha-ha, oh please!Copy !req
296. Scythe-san, what's wrong? Are you crying again?Copy !req
297. My daughter simply refuses to speak to me.Copy !req
298. Something about this place
is giving me goosebumps all over.Copy !req
299. I really do love Makami, though.
I'm a good father, right?Copy !req
300. How do you do?Copy !req
301. I'm Saki. It's a pleasure to meet you.Copy !req
302. This is dynamite.Copy !req
303. Eh? What's the big idea, wearing a tuxedo?
Did you sneak out of a wedding?Copy !req
304. Mister, I can tell, there's something
different about you.Copy !req
305. Th-There is?Copy !req
306. You're not like ordinary men. I can tell.Copy !req
307. I'm really not like other men.Copy !req
308. There's no reason why
I can't beat Tamaki Kotatsu.Copy !req
309. I'm surprisingly good at talking to women, huh?Copy !req
310. Perhaps I actually have a gift
when it comes to dealing with women.Copy !req
311. Which means it's on, Tamaki Kotatsu.Copy !req
312. Away!Copy !req
313. No!Copy !req
314. How come?Copy !req
315. D-Don't look at me.Copy !req
316. Wh-What is this? This innocent bashfulness?Copy !req
317. It's different when it comes to amateurs!Copy !req
318. She's good. She's too good.Copy !req
319. I've never encountered
a foe this formidable before.Copy !req
320. Which is all the more reason why
I have to get past this.Copy !req
321. I am the Assassin of the Abyss.Copy !req
322. I am Assault, the Bloody Fire Blast, after all.Copy !req
323. "Edogawa-ku Waterproofing Day"Copy !req
324. After my third defeat,Copy !req
325. I went someplace where strong gusts
tended to cause wardrobe malfunctions,Copy !req
326. and waited for them to happen.Copy !req
327. My finely-honed visual acuity
would not let anything go unnoticed.Copy !req
328. —Gah! Knock it off, you pervy wind!
Sicko! Deviant!Copy !req
329. —Amateur panties! Now to burn
their bashfulness into my retinas!
—Gah! Knock it off, you pervy wind! Sicko! Deviant!Copy !req
330. My training is complete. There is
no factor that can defeat me now.Copy !req
331. You have at last conquered it?Copy !req
332. Yes.Copy !req
333. He stopped my arrow with a single finger.
His skills are absolutely sharp.Copy !req
334. Assault, off you go, right?Copy !req
335. "Off I go"Copy !req
336. Off I go...Copy !req
337. Assault...Copy !req
338. Enough, already!Copy !req
339. What the hell is your problem?Copy !req
340. This will be the last time.Copy !req
341. Glimpse.Copy !req
342. I've grown, as well. I can withstand that much.Copy !req
343. Try as hard as you want, it's still no use!Copy !req
344. Yes, you're right.
It's no use, just like you say.Copy !req
345. I know it, as well.
I can see how this plays out.Copy !req
346. No matter how often I try, there is no chance...Copy !req
347. of me winning this fight.Copy !req
