"K – LETTER STORY"

SILVER: "ANSWER"

Translation: Naru-kun Raws: Ridia

Yatogami Kuro was sitting in front of the tea table, worried.

It all started with a postcard he received yesterday from his brother, Mishakuji Yukari.

On the back of the table, placed on a tea table, was a photograph of the brothers posing as if they were blending into a picturesque foreign landscape (Kuro only knew it was a European street corner), as if it were a painting, and above you can see the elegant strokes of the fountain pen added to it.

The content is simple, with a few lines of recent information and a postscript.

For those who have been keeping up to date, there are anecdotes about where he stayed, how his roommate has grown, and his interactions with the other person who appears from time to time. His short, witty one-liners always remind him of Mishakuji's versatility.

(This is good.)

What bothers Kuro is the P.S., just a word.

He said,

"Thanks for your answer."

"......"

The address of the place where he will be staying is also written on the front of the postcard. Regardless of the moral argument for hanging his head, that nerve is very fraternity-like. But anyway,

(Should I respond as requested?)

His head bowed at that difficult question.

The battle of the past had finally been resolved, and the dispute should have been resolved... Not all of his bad feelings have dissipated... but at least he is no longer the subject of blatant denial... but he can't even say that his relationship is good enough to casually exchange letters.

(However, it is rude to leave it unattended and something is wrong here...)

He suddenly realized this and instinctively hit his knee.

(Yes, from here too!)

Like his brother, he wrote about people close to him. That's perfect for a return sword that doesn't add unnecessary emotions. He's sure everyone will be intrigued, even his brother.

(Let us begin.)

He grabbed a notepad and pen from the desk next to him and started writing a draft.

[Adolf K. Weismann, also known as the ''Silver King'' Isana Yashiro, whom I once considered his master and who now stands by my side as a friend, earned a strange nickname like ''German-Sensei'' in honor of assuming his position as professor.]

(Mmm, that's strange.)

Just by writing the minimum of information, and even a few notes, he filled a space the size of a postcard.

(Well, Shiro is a special man... if that's the case.)

He carefully tore off one note and wrote on the second.

[Neko transferred to Ashinaka High School with his real name, Ameno Miyabi, and causes commotion around her regardless of whether she uses supernatural powers or not. To clean up after that, Shiro and I ran out...]

(Hmm, what do you mean?)

He filled out another page.

(I guess Neko often acts like a cat...)

In that case, he would like to broaden the scope a little more and write about Kukuri Yukizome... no, his brother doesn't know about her, nor about Toru Hieda... a person who was involved with the "Green King".

"No, why?!"

Unbeknownst to him, a cry of agony escaped him.

The advice came slightly from behind.

"I think it's best to let go of unnecessary pretensions and just write as you want."

"It's not an unnecessary pretense. It's the way you should behave..."

After answering normally, Kuro turned around.

Before he knew it, Shiro had returned home and was stacking the books he took out of his bag on his desk. Likewise, Neko, still in her human form, was curled up in bed and yawning.

Kuro avoids unnecessary interactions with these two people he knows well (although he thought that, if he didn't take off Neko's uniform quickly, it would take him longer to iron it).

"I found out why I was trying to talk back to my brother."

Shiro let out a sigh.

"Well, I've been thinking about that since you got the postcard yesterday. When I got home, I found you moaning in front of your notebook, so I can understand why you're worried about the wording."

"Umm, squishy, ​​squishy, ​​squishy, ​​all over again. Nyahahahaha."

Riding a horse, Neko lay down and adopted a series of poses that seemed to imitate another person.

Shiro hesitantly told his friend, who accepted his misfortune with a bitter face, an inference that could be another blow.

"I was also thinking about this all day... that person named Mishakuji Yukari."

"What?"

"Maybe he added that word to mock Kuro, in anticipation that you would worry like that?"

Kuro was about to say "Gah!" and he sat upright.

Intuitively, he was sure that Shiro was right.

That's what his brother might be able to do.

A few days later.

Kuro eventually recovered and, feeling depressed and confused, wrote only a poem of his own in response.

[There is no communication between us, but we have a supportive relationship.]

EXTRA Family plans

LIST OF CHAPTERS

[Translation under the cut]

Saya: (…Yesterday was a tough day. My father was terrified)

Saya: (But suddenly an airship flew over the house--)

Saya: (Everyone would be scared if their own daughter fell out of the sky…Kuro-kun was with me too)

Saya: (But I'm really happy that both mom and dad seemed to like Kuro-kun)

Saya: (As expected, I can't get married yet…I really hope I can marry Kuro-kun someday)

Saya: (Ah, there he is)

Saya: Hello again, Kuro-kun.

Kuroh: Nah. Want something to drink?

Saya: Uhm. I think I'll have a cup of tea…Huh, what magazine are you reading?

Kuroh: It's a family planning magazine.

Saya: …Family planning?

Kuroh: I'm looking forward to a future with you, and I'm thinking hard about it.

Kuroh: I have asked Ichigen-sama, he said it's good to have a girl first and then a boy.

Saya: A girl and a boy…Could it be…

Kuroh: Yeah, it's about kids.

Saya: We're not even married yet, aren't you being hasty…?

Kuroh: No, it wouldn't hurt to think about it. Building a house, I have to think about the number of rooms and so on.

Saya: (Eh….already that far?!)

Kuroh: "First a girl, then a boy". The first child is a girl, the second is said to be a boy.

Kuroh: I was said not to get caught up in the tradition, if a child is born, it doesn't matter which one.

Saya: I-I see.

Saya: (I wonder what kind of face the principal had when he was listening to Kuro-kun's story…)

Saya: Which one would Kuro-kun prefer?

Kuroh: Right…I'd probably prefer a boy.

Saya: Why?

Kuroh: Even when I'm not around, I have to make sure his mother is well protected.

Kuroh: It would be a good idea to have him learn martial arts from a young age and train him both mentally and physically.

Saya: Please refrain from Spartan training…

Saya: ��If you were to get married, when would it be?

Kuroh: I suppose when I become a working adult, become independent, and have a steady income…I guess it will be 7 years from now.

Saya: Seven years from now…I wonder what everyone will be doing about that time.

Saya: Shiro-kun, Neko-chan. Classmates, teachers, senpais. I wonder what kind of life each of them will be living.

Kuroh: Perhaps, even after seven years, the free-spiritedness of Shiro and Neko will remain the same.

Saya: Fufu, I'm think that after 7 years they both will surely grown up, right?

Kuroh: I don't see those two settling down so easily.

Saya: But 7 years is a pretty long time…

Saya: (7 years from now…That's very, very far away, somehow I'm worried about it…)

Kuroh: What's wrong?

Saya: Ah, Un-uh. It's nothing. I'd like to see the magazine too.

Kuroh: Are you worried about whether you will still be with me 7 years from now?

Saya: …Just a little bit. Because something may happen and the happiness you feel now may suddenly be destroyed…

Kuroh: If it's about your ability, if anything goes wrong, it's just a matter of me to protect you.

Saya: But what if Kuro-kun will change his mind?

Kuroh: That's not possible. You know my character. I would never think about anyone else but you.

Kuroh: Same to you, aren't you going to change your mind?

Saya: M-Me too, I too can't think of anyone else but Kuro-kun!

Kuroh: …I'm kidding. We have feelings for each other, and that's all that matters.

Kuroh: From now on, we will spend the next 20 to 30 years together.

There is no time to be worried.

Saya: Kuro-kun…

Kuroh: I like you. I want to continue to spend time with you.

Kuroh: What about you?

Saya: I like Kuro-kun, too, and I want to stay with you forever.

Kuroh: Then it's okay. Whenever you feel worried, we can comfirm our match like this again.

Kuroh: No matter how many times you ask me, I'll give you the same answer. So don't hesitate to ask.

Saya: Uhm…I will.

Saya: (There was nothing to be worried about. Because Kuro likes me so much)

Kuroh: No matter what happens, I will be with Saya, I swear to protect you.

Kuroh: Let's live through the same time together from now on.

[crehador]

top 5 hypmic songs that arent by bb/mtc nor including any of their members

THIS FEELS LIKE A VERY TARGETED ATTACK but ok... hm... i have to think about this for a while

1) stella

gotta start with stella, it is truly one of the tracks of all time. there is nothing i don't love about it. the sound of it, the lyrics, the story. the lyric video is so pretty and every live performance of it has been so good. stella triangle formation forever

2) femme fatale

AN ABSOLUTE BANGER i love our women who have done nothing wrong ever uwu the newer chuuoku tracks are really good as well but femme fatale being the first holds a special spot in my heart. and i'm so thrilled reol worked on it because it means we got to have her as a guest star at one of the lives and she was!! amazing!!!

3) enishi

godddddd enishi. where do i even start with enishi. there is just a POWER to the vocals of this track that i am absolutely obsessed with. it's tough to choose a favorite track on cross a line because i love them all so much but enishi is honestly up there. the first time i heard it i was like the cat discovering the red part is the good part of the watermelon. O_O eyes activate

(prior to enishi release this spot would have belonged to osaka dreamin' night, also such a fun bop that i am eternally grateful to for introducing me to creepy nuts)

4) I CANNOT POSSIBLY CHOOSE A BAT SONG. ALL OF THEM.

listen! listen!! literally every bat group song has been a hit they do not miss. bad ass temple funky sounds. kaigen. rip. awesome fucking party <- this has a different title in translation but i cannot ever remember it and always end up calling it something like this lol (it is apparently "hella awesome banquet" i had to look this up)

i guess. I GUESS. if i had to pick one. kaigen and rip would be slightly above the others because the live version of them are just so electric. the performances of the others have been really good as well! but kaigen and rip are special. and between the two of them... um... this is Difficult

i'm going with kaigen. but really. they are all amazing. hayama (kuko cv) just has the best stage energy ever

5) ok... so i'm giving it to rivals... BUT

man eliminating all members of bb/mtc truly cuts out so many tracks lol they are all over the place. off the block party album i would probably say my favorite (excluding the ichisama solos) is get busy (but alas jiro is in that) followed by shiro to kuro (but alas jyuto is in that)

SO fifth place goes to third place off the album.. rivals! it really is just such a fun song like you can't go wrong with a track where a line of the lyrics is literally "🥺🥺🥺🥺"

ON THE OTHER HAND I AM REALLY PARTIAL TO ONCE UPON A TIME IN SHIBUYA OR YOYOYOYO AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT and also torima get on the floor... and kizuato... and shibuya ghost night... and pink love... you guys know i was once an fp stan right lol

tl;dr IT'S TOO HARD I LITERALLY LOVE THEM ALL

A3! Sakisaka Muku - Translation [SSR] MANKAI Feature (1/3)

Special thanks to @asteroidtaker for sharing this backstage story with me! 🐱🐟🎂

*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi

---

Kazunari: The unrequited love between these two got me right in the feels~. I’m dying to know what happens next!

Muku: I know, right…! The kitty that appears in the story is also very cute and lovable…!

Kazunari: I feel you! The kitty cat played a huge role in volume 3 too!

*knock, knock*

Kazunari: Eh, who’s there? Come in, come in.

*door opens*

Izumi: Sorry for interrupting. Is Muku-kun here?

Muku: Yes! What’s the matter?

Izumi: Remember that project we’re doing where we’re going to stream a spin-off stories of everyone’s side characters?

Kazunari: All of us are doing one each, right?

Izumi: Yeah. It’s about the character that Muku-kun is going to play… We finished tallying up the request survey we got back from the all your fans.

Kazunari: You mean Mukkun’s side character has been decided!?

Muku: Oh! Which character is it…?

Izumi: For Muku… it’s Nora from “The Great Sardine Search”!

Kazunari: Ooh! Nora!

Muku: Wow, I get to play Nora again! He’s so cool!

Kazunari: You said Nora was cool the first time you read the script. I’m happy for you!

Muku: Thanks! Ehehe. I’m really happy.

Izumi: Discuss the script with Tsuzuru-kun, alright?

Muku: For sure! I hope I can show off how cool Nora is.

Kazunari: If it’s you, then you totally will!

Muku: Thanks. I’ll try my best! Nora’s spin-off short story, huh… …I know! Kazu-kun, if you happen to have some time…

-pause-

Kazunari: So your request was to go on an adventure with me an Yukki, huh… it’s lit AF! I can’t wait~!

Yuki: I also heard Nora is the character Muku’s going to play, so I started revamping the costume yesterday. It’s been a while since you’ve worn a costume with cat ears, so I have to check every little detail.

Muku: Thanks so much, you two…! I want to go an adventure with Shiro and Kuro today.

Yuki: So, what are we going to do for this “adventure”?

Muku: Nora is a cat who roams freely, so I’d like to go where I want without deciding on a particular location. In the past, after I was chosen to play Nora, I went out by myself in order to prepare for my role… But I think it’s more fun being together with everyone. And besides, by doing what Nora would do like this, I might come up with what I’d like to do for the spin-off.

Kazunari: Gotcha~. I’ll stick with you until the very end, just say the word!

Yuki: Yeah, it’s good you’re taking your time to think about it in your own way. I’ll go with you too.

Muku: Great! Thank you.

-pause-

Kazunari: Alright fellas, where should we head first?

Muku: Hmm, let me think…

Cat: …

Muku: Huh? A cat…?

Yuki: It feels like it’s looking at us.

Kazunari: Hold on, doesn’t that kitty sorta look like Nora?

Cat: Meow~.

Yuki: Ah, it started walking.

Muku: …Say, you two. What do you say to following after that cat?

Kazunari: Of course I’m down!

Yuki: Well, I guess we can choose our destination that way once in a while.

about me!

i'm not sure how to write introduction posts, so i'll do my best to not make this sound awkward.

hello and welcome! my name's mayrx, and this is my blog dedicated to otome reviews.

more about me: i've playing otomes for about 10 years! my first otome was glass heart princess. (it made me cry.) i also am a translator! i'm fluent in both japanese and french, and have been studying both languages since i was young.

so, i guess people wonder why i decided to make a blog dedicated to otomes, especially in 2024. my reason is, well, i want to share my love for the genre with people! i also used to write walkthroughs for otomes on here, but never got around to writing full-on reviews, but always wanted to. (maybe i'll share my my user for that blog here sometime.)

my favourite otome(s) are the following: amnesia: memories, collar x malice, bad apple wars, shiro to kuro no alice, reine no fleurs, and cupid parasite!

i apologize if this is kinda out of the place, i'm not great at introducing myself, especially when it comes to blogs.

i hope we all can be friends, and share our love for otomes together!

[penumbraal]

not sure if what i’m gonna try to get across makes sense, but something i really like thinking about is megumi's relationship with his shikigami — and particularly the divine dogs across multiple verses i have.

like, of course they act based upon megumi’s orders without needing to be explicitly told what to do — he doesn’t need to say anything, they just know. they’re also not really necessarily exact extensions of megumi’s personality or anything, like i feel like they have their own personalities, but i do think they’re very cognizant of his internalized feelings and can react accordingly.

i like to translate this into non-sorcerer verses in a way — i always imagine that megumi always has kuro and shiro in any kind of au, and to varying degrees they remain very cognizant of his feelings. i think that it’s easy for an onlooker to just assume that megumi has some energetic animals that balances his general air of calm collectedness or even apathy, but it can be very telling if they start to act a certain way.

like, zoomies when megumi’s in a good mood (maybe even… happy—), even if he’s not necessarily expressing it. they’ll be more affectionate and protective toward people megumi really cares about, but they’ll stay very close to megumi’s side when he’s more upset than usual.

with regard to their personalities — i think both dogs are generally very sweet, very attentive, and do tasks well. shiro i think has a bit more of a soft side, a little more cuddly and a little more laid back. i have this image of non-sorcerer au megumi having to carry shiro sometimes because he’s a little bit of a princess and when walk-time is over, it’s over, regardless of where he is. kuro is considerably more active, easier to excite, a bit more sassy, but also takes his “work” very seriously (be it doing tricks for treats or protecting megumi or attacking a cursed spirit).

Theme song for TV drama around 1/4

Lyrics: Masada Waya

English translations

The only thing I’m certain of is

The answer isn’t just black and white

Please never forget You’re not alone

Keep walking on this path you chose Life goes on

The new season paints

A gradient-like scenery

So vivid and intricate, I can’t put into words

Ay, that’s the way it is, ah, that’s the way it is

Let go Compared to yesterday, today

Go Slower Compared to today, tomorrow

Try to accept yourself even more

It’s so wonderful just as you are

Never change you’re beautiful

(Stay as you are)

Don’t think too much, let’s laugh it off

Everything is going great

It’s so wonderful how we’re opposites

So beautiful in our own way

(Stay as you are)

Imperfections makes you more precious, my dear

Keep loving yourself little by little

It’s all good

Breakaway from all the confining trivial things

Throwing away one’s individuality Lose my way

Blindly following the road someone else laid for

As everyone losing sight of themselves, the world falls apart

Let go, With your body

And soul, Go slow

Living my only life to the fullest, always

It’s so wonderful just as you are

Never change you’re beautiful

(Stay as you are)

Don’t think too much, let’s laugh it off

Everything is going great

It’s so wonderful how we’re opposites

So beautiful in our own way

(Stay as you are)

Imperfections makes you more precious, my dear

Keep loving yourself little by little

It’s all good

It’s all good…

There’s an end to everything

Nothing continues forever

So just embrace the present and be free

It’s so wonderful just as you are

Never change you’re beautiful

(Stay as you are)

Don’t think too much, let’s laugh it off

Everything is going great

It’s so wonderful how we’re opposites

So beautiful in our own way

(Stay as you are)

Imperfections makes you more precious, my dear

Keep loving yourself little by little

It’s all good

(It’s so wonderful) It’s all good

(It’s all good) It’s all good

(It’s so beautiful) It’s all good

It’s all good…

Prim and Proper Problems Ch 18

Meanwhile, Back at the Balan Theater, Also happening at the same time...

Balan and Lance began to lose hope. They had tried almost everything they could think of, but the girls were still stuck in their state "This isn't good. This is far from great, is there any way we could remove the girls from their state?" Balan asked. Lance didn't respond. He was trying to figure out the same thing, if magic didn't snap them out of it, then there was something that DID...But what?

Suddenly, a small dark portal opened up, and Kuro and Shiro appeared from it. The two maestros felt a smile grace their face. "Kuro Shiro! Thank the wondrous lands! What are those jars you hold in your hands?" Lance asked. The KosoKoso held up the jars so that the maestros could get a closer look. Shiro began to frantically chirp, as Balan translated her fast paces "Timmus".

"She says the jars hold their personality...could bringing these near the girls be the key?" He asked. Curious, Lance brought Yuri's jar close to her face, and gently opened it. The purple mist rose out of the jar and into the purple haired girl's face. Just then, she seemed to fall into a trance. She breathed in the purple smoke before her eyes seemed to sparkle. She then rubbed at her eyes, before letting out a groan

"Balan? Lance? What happened?" She asked. The two maestros got hopeful "Yuri. I have a question to inquire. Is the death of all that crawls your desire?" Lance asked. Yuri shook her head before she saw Wormsworth "Wormy! I missed you!" She said. The bug like Negaboss let out a happy chirp. Yuri then ran to her, and gave her a very big hug, much to her joy.

Balan gave a wide smile "YES!! Yuri is back and freed! The jars with their personality that they need!!" He cheered. The positive Maestro then opened Kaylo's jar and held it under her face as well. The pink haired girl breathed in her pink fumes before her eyes became enlarged "Wh-When did we get to the theater?" She asked "Not too long ago. But do you still love opera music, I have to know." Balan told her.

Kaylo raised an eyebrow "Um. No. I have always hated Opera music. It makes me fall asleep." She replied. Balan then did a backflip in the air "We did it! The girls are back! Now maybe we can plan our attack." Lance said. Yuri scratched her head "Attack? What do you mean?" She asked "The children went to that school that you went to. But what happened to you was what we were trying to do." Balan explained.

Both of their eyes went wide "WHAT?! They went to PPP?! Oh Crud! They're gonna become like us if they went there!!" Yuri cried out. The maestros looked confused "What do you mean?" Lance asked. That's when Kuro and Shiro began to wildly gesture the jars, Yuri's uniform, as well as frantic chirps and squeaks. "Oh dear...Madame Prim has a underground operation I fear. Her strange machine, straps kids to their fate, in which they are locked into a 'perfect' state." Balan translated.

The girls eyes widened "Oh no! We gotta get to PPP and help them right now!" Yuri cried before Kaylo stopped her "Hang on. I've got an idea, but we'll need the help from the other students from both our schools..." she said....

Happy Birthday Shiro!

I don't know Japanese whatsoever. I used various translator programs to make this English translation.

[supergenial]

[translation+lyrics] 導黒のミアルカ Act: I

Yeah I'm like 6 months late, idk, blame Zelda, or life itself, idk. Better late than never I guess. This album is about a girl and her cat. Or maybe it's the other way around? For a two-parter though there's really not much story going on in this one it's pretty much all setup for the next one so don't expect an abrupt cliffhanger or anything like that. I actually wasn't impressed at first but now I find myself constantly humming every other track throughout the day, they're all pretty good.

On the production side Rena is once again absent from this album so I'm actually rather worried for her at this point, I really hope she's just happy doing something else and they're saying health issues only as a façade. The new vocalist Ruru is pretty good though, Luna and Risa Yuzuki are also really good as usual. By the way I had the chance to see their last live concert, the one they streamed, they really looked amazing on that, Yuzuki Risa looked very cute and Luna was perfection just as I expected. Anyway, lyrics down below and see you all next time.

偽りの夜曲 (itsuwari no serenade, Serenade of Falsehood)

Vocals: Ruru

hakushu kassai yozora no moto maku ga oriru butoukai matataku hoshi kanaderu oto kisokutachi wa odoritsutsuke

The curtain draws to much applause on a dance ball below the night sky As aristocrats dance under twinkling stars to the beat of the music

watashi no te kuchitsukeshite niyari to suru nikuki ou karamaru me to hohoemu kuchi sotto itsuwari shinobasete

A malicious king holds on to my hand and kisses it Giving me a look as my lips turn to a false smile

yokubou uzumaku utage wa mada mada tsutsuku odorimashou

The feast goes on and on as it keeps drowning in greed The dancing must go on

yami wo matou sekai de yuiitsu kagayaku basho wa kono yo no hate nanoka mata wa maboroshi ka kuroki akuma wo daite futeki na emi ukaberu "Watashi dake no mono" kodou wa dare ni mo tomerarenai

The only glistening place in this world filled with darkness Is it really part of this world or is it a mirage This dark demon holds onto me as he brings up a twisted smile “You’re mine and mine only” he says as my heartbeat would not stop

hakushu kassai yozora no moto maku ga oriru butoukai matataku hoshi kanaderu oto kisokutachi wa odoritsutsuke

The curtain draws to much applause on a dance ball below the night sky As aristocrats dance under twinkling stars to the beat of the music

ah shiramiyuku sora wa utage no owari wo tsugeru terasarete

The brightening sky marks the end of the feast As it shines brightly

kuroki anata wo daite asahi to tomo ni chikau futari issho naraba doko he demo yukeru to kotaeru you ni nakugoe soba de mitsumeru hitomi wa anata dake no mono ano hi no mama　no futari dake no daremo shiranai sugao datta

To you shadowy one I vow on this morning That alongside I will go anywhere you may go Anywhere your eyes may cry I will be there by your side I’m only yours Just the two of us as we’ve been on this day For no one else knows your true face

Vocals: Risa Yuzuki, Luna

furitsumoriyuku yuki wa hakuiki wo shiro ni somete furueru hosoi ude ni kago no naka hanataba kakaete

The snow piles on as every breath drawn turns to white Those trembling slim arms carry on them a bouquet of flowers

doredake koe wo kaketemo shisen sae mo todokazu fujouri na kono sekai de tooku wo mitsumete tatazumu

No matter where your voice may be carried to, your sight can’t fixate on anything In this unreasonable world I stand alone in the distance

hashiri yuku hitonami ni yoroke ashi wo torare chirabaru watashi no kokoro wa setsunaku

As the crowd rushes in my feet stagger My torn heart remains broken

shiroi yuki wa marude watashi wo keshisaru you ni sora wa ikioi wo mashite furisosogu namida umoreteyuku hanatabatachi itami wo hiroi atsume namida nugui arukidasu tada yoru wo akasu tame ni

It’s as if the white snow is erasing my existence As clamor fills the skies my tears continue to drop The scattered flowers spread much like my grief I walk on as I wipe my tears to make it until dawn

hi mo kure hajimete watashi wa shioreta hanataba kakaete sobieru shiro ni se wo muke furatsuku ashi de arukeba

The sun sets as I carry these flowers A castle towers behind me as my feet stagger

fukitsu dato nonoshirare uzukumaru kuroneko sono me wa watashi no you de setsunaku

An ominous cat lies in the way It’s eyes filled with grief just like mine

yuki ni uzumoreta anata wo dakiagete tatta hitokire no pan wo yorisoi wakeau moshimo yukuate ga nai nara… to tsuyoku dakishimeru ureshisou ni naku anata marude kokoro tsutawaru you ni

I pick him up from the pile of snow Sharing a piece of bread with him Holding him tightly wondering if it has anywhere to return to He let out a small cry, as if telling me he was happy for this

shiroi yuki ga hikiyoseta anata ni namae natsukete semai koya no naka futari yorisoi hohoemu areyuku sora fubuku yami ga sekai wo tsutsumou tomo dakishimeau futari ni wa hajimete no nukumori datta

I named him Luka amidst the white snow And within a narrow shed we smiled together We were together through storming skies and chilling nights Holding each other was the first warmth we had ever felt

Andante Con Moto

I wake up to the radiant shining sun as the sky is filled with blue Just being by your side made me forget all the bitter things

kyou mo hanataba wo kakaete itsumono basho he mukaou to tobira akeru to watashi yori saki ni Ruka wa kakedasu

Once again today I carry a bouquet, heading to the same place as ever And Luka rushes ahead of me as the door opens

kuroku kagayaki nagara hashiridashite mitakoto mo nai basho made suru to naze ka hitobito wa atsumatte manzoku sou ni warau

He dashes through a place he’s never seen before Luka seemed happy seeing so many people gathered

tsugi no hi mo mata sono tsugi no hi mo ruka ni shitagatte tsuiteikeba fushigi na chikara aru no darouka onaka wo sukaseru hi wa naku natta

The following days Luka always led the way Perhaps he had some mysterious power for there was never a day I went hungry

kyou wa itsumo yori mo tooku hanareta chi he jishin arige ni aruki hajimeta donna koto ga okoru no darou ka to mune wo odorasete tsuite ikeba

Today we walked even further than usual to a place I don’t know I just followed him excited to know what I would see

aruku mishiranu kifujin no ashimoto ni kagayaku shiruku ni kamitsuki watashi wa awatete kakeyori hirei wo wabita

He bit on some fancy silk at the feet of a noble woman So I rushed over to apologize

yawaraka na kao de kochira wo mite kinishinaide to waratta sono hitomi wa totemo itooshisou de tsutsumikomu you de boroboro no mi nari wo shita watashi no kao wo jitto nozokikomi me wo mihiraki furueru kuchibiru de watashi ni toikaketa

She laughed and said it was no issue Her kind eyes filled me with warmth She stared at my frail body that seemed like it would fall apart She opened her eyes wide and asked

「moshikashite anata, Mia?」

“Is that you, Mia?”

sono hi kara futari dake no sekai wa sugata wo kaeta

And from that day forward our world changed entirely

道黒のミアルカ (Doukoku no MiaLuca, MiaLuca of the black path)

Vocals: Risa Yuzuki

irotoridori no bara ni mi wo tsutsumu watashi no sadame wa hisoka ni idaku omoi karen na otome ni kakushite

I was fated to be embraced by colorful flowers A fair maiden who kept her feelings out of sight

kagami wo mireba soko ni uzuyogoreta hana wa utsuranai tsuyameku kami wo yurasu karen na otome ga warau

What I see in the mirror is not a sullied flower But rather a smiling maiden with glistening hair

utsukushiki bara no hana wo minna torimaku you ni mote hayashi ai wo sasayaku busama ni

A beautiful rose that everyone gathers around of Whispering their love in vain

daremo ga akogareru hanayaka na sekai ni akireta marude chikara ni hirefusu dake ne sagesumu hitomi de azawaratteita no ni ima wa meshitsukai no you de aware ne

A tiresome life that anyone would want In which everyone just kneeled to the powerful Who scornfully laugh at them As if they were simply there to serve

ki wo hiku tame chikatsuki watashi ni wa me wo sorasarete ruka ni wa kamitsukareru sugata wa jitsu ni kokkei ne

Even if approached for attention I would simply look away And if Luka bites you I would find that funny

noraneko ga baketawane to kage de wa warau keredo me ga aeba ai wo sasayaku busama ni

I laugh from the shade at the stray cat in disguise But I'd whisper with love when our eyes meet

daremo ga akogareru hanayaka na sekai no ura de wa kare no chikara ni hirefusu dake ne muhon no utagai wo kakerareta hotori wa tsunoru munen ni samayoi tsutsukeru

In the underside of that beautiful world anyone would want Everyone bows to the king’s power My parents were wanted for treason And I was left to wander in regret

kazoekirenu hodo sashidasareta houseki demo totemo sonna mono ja manzoku shinai wa watashi ga hoshii no wa tada hitotsu anata dake Ruka to tomo ni kono omoi moyasu wa

Even if countless jewels were offered to me I wouldn’t be satisfied with that The only thing I’m after is the king’s very own life That desire burns fiercely within both Luka and I.

妖瞳の悪魔 (Youdou no kuroneko, The demon with bewitching eyes)

Vocals: Ruru

sekai wa kurayami tsutsumarete koyoi mo hibiki wataru dareka no sakebi ga higeki no kioku wa yobiokosare afureru omoi ni furueru watashi no chi wa

A world covered in darkness, once again a scream can be heard echoing Reminding me of tragic memories, those feelings making my blood curl

kusuriyubi ni hikaru aoki houseki watashi no kokoro wa jubaku wo tokihanatte kuroku kageru unmei wo dakiagete 「mousugu kono yo wa watashitachi dake no mono」

An azure jewel shines on my ring finger, my heart is released from it’s curse Embracing this darkening fate, “soon this world will be solely ours”

hontou ni fushigi na ko ne yogoto heya wo nukedashite wa mitakoto mo nai tobira he izanaware shizuka ni tomoshibi no naka he

This truly mysterious child would sneak away every night Through the alluring door, amidst calm fire lights

akuma to yobareta hitomi ga atama wo yogiru mujakisa no ura ni hisomu kagami no naka yami wo saku sono koe ni risei wo ubawareteite mo ano hi anata to deatta sono shunkan kara watashi wo uzumaku you ni futari wo tsunagu ito wa karamariau shuuen wo tomo ni

Hiding behind an innocent demeanor, I know those are a devil’s eyes A voice from the mirror cuts through the darkness, robbing me of reason I’ve been circling around you since that fateful moment in which we met The thread that joins us will bind us until our doom

Hontou ni fushigi na ko ne hitori heya wo nukedashite wa Mitakoto mo nai tsurugi wo tazusaete shizuka ni watashi wo mitsumeru

This truly mysterious child would sneak away on his own Wielding a blade I’ve never seen, calmly looking at me

akuma to yobareta hitomi ga atama wo yogiru mujakisa no ura ni hisomu kagami no naka yami wo saku sono koe ni risei wo ubawareteite mo tatoe anata ni ayatsurareteita toshitemo shisen wa somuketa mama de futari wo tsunagu ito wa karamari au jigoku he to tomo ni

Hiding behind an innocent demeanor, I know those are a devil’s eyes A voice from the mirror cuts through the darkness, robbing me of reason Even if you’re only using me, I’ll walk down this path with you The thread that joins us will bind us all the way down to hell

I don't like tl notes but I guess it's worth adding: 道黒 (doukoku) isn't a real word, it's a compound made from Road (道) and Black (黒), and it's read like 慟哭 (doukoku, lament). Also the song 妖瞳の悪魔, the 悪魔 (demon) shows くろねこ(black cat) as the reading, basically saying that the cat is a demon.

[漢字+Romaji+Translation] Superfly - White Light

Because I want to have my own reference for this. I still think this song is the most perfect theme song for Zestiria (and perhaps Berseria too, if you squint a bit) as a whole.

"K - RETURN OF KINGS" (Novel)

CHAPTER 13: THE END OF THE DREAM

* List of Chapters

Translation: Naru-kun Raws: Ridia

As he ran through the dark passage, something bright opened again.

It was similar to the space where Mishakuji was located, but it was even higher in the ceiling and with countless huge cylinders. There was even a strict air, like an ancient Greek temple.

As he ran through the pillars, Shiro thought of Kuro whom he had left just now.

(Kuro. I believe in you.)

Mishakuji Yukari is a strong enemy. Perhaps his power will even reach the king. Facing the blade, Shiro did not confirm whether Kuro could win alone.

That's why he believes in him. That's the only thing Shiro can do.

At this moment, multiple members of the "Jungle" clan appeared from the front.

"There they are! Don't let them pass!"

The muzzle turned there at once. Looking at them, Neko who was running next to him, murmured.

"They won't defeat me!"

With the spirit, Neko drew a zigzag path, lowering herself like a four-legged beast. She jumped into the air and decided to drop the heel to the main Clansman.

"This is...!"

Other Clansmen quickly take the distance and aimed at Neko. However, they couldn't catch her literally jumping like a cat, and she was just thrown away.

At this moment, Neko's eyes were shining, and the sound of the bell echoed.

"Take this!"

"Jungle Attack!"

The Clansmen held their weapons and began to hit each other. Neko's reconnaissance operation skill and ability. Neko watched the Clansmen using their weapons to hit each other, and was satisfied.

"Neko!"

Shiro ran again as he called after her. There isn't much time left. They have to get to the "Slate" as soon as possible.

And...

Shiro suddenly saw that something strange was placed between the pillars.

A tatami with six mats. Kitchen with an old refrigerator. Various plaques in the Chabudai.

The appearance of a room, as if a family lived there, was left in a solemn underground space.

"......"

Hisui Nagare also has friends. The opponent has something that can be called family.

The fact that he knew sank into his chest.

But he can't stop. Hisui Nagare has a wish, and Shiro also has his own wish. That's completely understandable too. If there was something that could not be certified, there was only one thing to do.

Shiro and Neko arrived there.

A gigantic stone disk placed carelessly on the ground, the "Dresden Slate".

A relic that brings innovation and confusion to humanity.

And, as if to protect him, a solitary bird was there.

"It's here! It's here!"

The parrot made a sound. He had seen that parrot several times. He is a messenger of the "Green King" named Kotosaka.

Then, the young man with Kotosaka on his shoulder slowly stood up.

"...Hisui Nagare."

Hearing Shiro's words, the young "Green King" Hisui Nagare smiled silently. Neko nodded and snuggled into Shiro.

Nagare looked at him and silently opened his mouth.

"First King, Adolf K. Weismann, Isana Yashiro. Welcome."

+++++++++++

Mishakuji gently narrowed his eyes as his sword flickered slowly.

Kuro's sword in front of him doesn't seem to be as shaken as before. Unfazed by Mishukaji's brilliant move, he is trying to discern the true nature of him.

Mishakuji freely admired that state.

"Good. Although it contains great power, it is as calm as the surface of a lake. I can see your growth."

In response, Kuro replied in a low voice.

"...I've finally begun to see it too. It may seem like your sword can change shape, but there is a core running through it. The core that sustains the strength."

Mishakuji chuckled and readjusted his "Ayamachi".

"It's a strange destiny. Although we grew up under the same "king", we each received different "kings" and now our paths cross this way. It's wonderful."

Once upon a time, when they were wielding swords together under the tutelage of Miwa Ichigen, did they ever think that something like this would happen?

At the very least, it is true that the current Kuro has become an attractive enemy. There aren't many people he wants to kill from the bottom of his heart.

Mishakuji was happy about that, regardless of his morals or his feelings.

"I guess it's time we found our King. Let's get started, Kuro-chan."

Mishakuji pointed the tip at Kuro, as if he was swearing.

"My sword is to fulfill the sincerest wish of the "Green King"."

Kuro also pointed the tip of "Kotowari" towards Mishakuji and muttered to himself.

"And I, to fulfill the wish of the "Silver King"."

+++++++++++

"Oraaaaaaaaah, but what?!"

Yata was running the entire time, letting out a roar.

The map that was informed to him in advance has long since been forgotten by him. That's not to say he was running blindly. Yata already knew the coordinates he had to reach. The "warmth" he feels from Anna's supernatural network is directly beneath the presence of his friends.

But before he gets there, he will have to go through a maze.

From the darkness along the corridors, behind the barricades, from the walkways, members of the "Jungle" clan began to emerge. They really were a nuisance. Yata swung his staff to deflect the bullets they fired, smashing them, jumping over their bodies and moving forward.

"Yata-chan, have you arrived yet?"

"Yata-san, hurry up...!"

Yata's frustration increased as he received communications from Kusanagi and Kamamoto. He shouted, gritting his teeth and punching the members of the "Jungle" clan.

"I'm so excited that I keep running as fast as I can! Just wait a little longer!"

Anna's supernatural network also shares his sense of sight and hearing. Yata was well aware of the burden his late arrival placed on everyone else. Yata forced himself to take a breath, which was about to run out, and accelerated even more.

"Alright."

Suddenly, he heard that voice.

"I believe in Misaki."

He felt as if Anna's direct gaze was fixed on Yata.

Hearing that, Yata laughed. He thought to himself as he emitted flames from the tip of the staff.

(King believes in me. If I don't answer, it will be a lie!)

The staff slammed into the wall, leaving a trail of flames in the darkness. Even more clansmen wait beyond the toppled and exploded wall. Yata stood up and stared at them.

"I am Yata Misaki, captain of the "Homura" vanguard! Stay away unless you want to die!"

+++++++++++

The unrest on the ground was already calming down.

The defeat of the "Gray King" had a great impact on the morale of the Green Clan members, and most of them retreated to their hideouts or were unable to escape and were captured by "Scepter 4". Some began to surrender voluntarily, showing no signs of resistance. Many people on the ground have probably already made up their minds. However, Awashima's expression never cleared up.

"Captain..."

Reisi Munakata was looking towards the "hideout" when she called out to him with concern.

Blue sparks scattered intermittently on his back. An uncontrollable supernatural ability causes a short circuit, which manifests as a visible anomaly.

Without turning around, Munakata said to Awashima.

"...Awashima-kun. When the time comes, don't hesitate."

Awashima bit her lip and looked up at the sky.

A broken "Sword of Damocles" hovered directly above Munakata. Like Munakata's body, it emits numerous sparks and blue aura crystals constantly break off and disappear into thin air.

It wouldn't have been strange if it fell at any moment.

Awashima looked at him and put her hand on the hilt of her own saber. Pain, sadness, despair. He kept all those emotions inside her heart and thought.

(Just do what you have to do.)

All the other members noticed Awashima's deadly expression. Before they knew it, they were watching Awashima and their "King" from afar. No matter how fate turns out, they want to see it with their own eyes.

Then only one person noticed it.

The "Gray King", Tenkei Iwafune, who was lying on the ground, suddenly disappeared.

He maybe he used some supernatural ability, or maybe he crawled with all his might. The only person who noticed that was Gouki Zenjo, who silently closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"...At least he has a place to die."

+++++++++++

His first impression was that he was a much younger man than he had imagined.

To awaken the "Slate" and encourage innovation in humanity. He was a delicate and gentle man who did not seem willing to commit such a scandalous act. If he had not been surrounded by a powerful aura, perhaps he would not have been able to believe in him or even now.

The "Green King", who was connected to the "Slate", silently opened his mouth.

"Honestly, I didn't expect you to go this far. As expected."

"Because I also have a will."

Hisui Nagare tilted his head slightly at Shiro's response. In a regretful tone, he said...

"I'm your fan... that is, I'm a fan of the "Silver King" that you used to be. I have great empathy with the feelings you once confided to the "Slate". Do you want to join hands with me?"

Shiro shook his head without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, but I'll have to reject you again."

"...Now that I think about it, you didn't answer me why last time either."

"That..."

Just as he was about to speak, Neko suddenly stepped forward and stuck out her tongue.

"Bleh, no! Shiro won't be your friend!"

Kotosaka, who remained on Nagare's shoulder, replied in a sharp voice.

"Shut up, you stupid cat!"

"Shut up, you idiot bird!"

Neko and Kotosaka looked at each other, growling and threatening each other.

"Ameno Miyabi."

Suddenly, Nagare called out to her.

Neko trembled. Hisui Nagare guards her true identity, the absolute secret that Neko tried to hide. Neko was afraid of that more than anything.

"Like me, you experienced the Kagutsu Incident. You are one of the few people who survived that tragedy."

Nagare easily revealed his true identity.

"Just as I woke up as a "King" when the "Red King" caused a burst of royal power, you also gained power and became Strain. And just as I lost my life, you manipulated your own memories and ended up living like a cat. We two are people from whom the "Slate" stole everything... and we got everything new."

Shiro looked at Neko.

Neko didn't exchange glances with Shiro, she just grabbed him tightly by the sleeve.

"In the course of life, people encounter many irrational situations. What matters is whether or not you can resist that irrational fate. Do you have that power? We encountered the Kagutsu Incident, but we overcame it with the power that gave us the "Slate". People should have the power to protect themselves and pave their way. The "Slate" will give them that."

Shiro flatly denied that theory.

"No. The power of the "Slate" is too much for humans to possess."

Nagare also immediately replied.

"Why? Don't you believe in people? If so, I'm disappointed. I'm disillusioned. You used to believe in people's potential more than anyone else."

"That's not true! I..."

"I don't understand!"

Only a little.

The discussion was interrupted by Neko's words.

Biting her lip and suppressing her fear, Neko still kept her eyes fixed on Nagare. She thought slowly and, as she did, she opened her mouth.

"I don't understand what you're saying. But Wagahai doesn't need a "Slate". Shiro, Kurosuke and everyone else can do without that!"

"...Neko."

"Whoever it is, even if I'm a monster, I'll never disappear just because of that. So, I'm fine with that. That's all I need! I don't need anything else!"

"......"

"There have been bad things in the past and I think there will be more in the future. But what I want right now is not a "Slate". It's delicious food and someone who will eat it with me. That's what Wagahai wants!"

Tears welled up in Neko's eyes.

What is her "true identity"? Shiro still doesn't know.

He probably doesn’t need to know. Unless Neko wants them to know, there's no need to pry. What Shiro and Kuro want is the "Neko" of now, who is innocent and full of emotion.

Taking Neko's hand, Shiro looked at Nagare and said...

"Hisui Nagare. What people need is not a "Slate". It's just it... that's right. A chabudai. That's enough. That's my conclusion. The choice of the "Silver King"."

After a while of silence, Nagare suddenly said...

"...What a pity."

"Nagare! Don't be disappointed! Nagare!"

Encouraged by Kotosaka, Nagare smiled a little. He looked at Shiro and said...

"So... let me ask you something. Why did you come here, "Silver King"?"

"I came to destroy the "Slate"."

A slight sneer emerged from Nagare's smile.

"How? You should be the most aware of the physical strength of the "Slate". I would like to add that I will not let you touch it again."

In an instant, a green light illuminated Nagare's chest. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped his entire body, manifesting as an aura so powerful that he could feel it on his skin.

"I guess so..."

When he replied in a low voice, the slight sneer that had been mixed into Nagare's expression disappeared. Along with his warning, the green shrine that Nagare uses became even more intense.

"Now I can connect with the "Slate" and absorb its power inexhaustibly. If I feel like it, "Silver King", I can use your "immutable" power and my "alterable" power. I can overwrite it and even kill you. I am invincible."

"......"

"Still, you are resisting, "Silver King"."

"If you were me, would you give up?"

Nagare narrowed his eyes and kicked the wheelchair back.

That was the end of the story. From now on, it was not the time for conversation, but for beliefs and fist bumps.

+++++++++++

Anna was the first to notice.

As the "Red Queen", she has a sensory capacity that far exceeds that of a Strain. Her higher perceptive powers sensed the existence of "it" before it manifested.

She turned her gaze toward the sky as if to check. In her field of vision, which only reflected red, "It" tried to take shape, not as a color, but as a figure colored by an aura.

''Silver'' and ''Green'', the two ''Swords of Damocles''.

Anna understood exactly what that meant. The two kings, Isana Yashiro and Hisui Nagare, finally met.

Slowly, impatience crept up her spine.

In a head-on confrontation, the probability of Shiro defeating Nagare is zero. In theory, no one could beat Nagare, who can draw unlimited energy from the ''Slate''.

There is no more grace left. If they don't carry out the plan immediately...

At this moment, the marble that Kamamoto was holding emitted a red glow.

"Anna! It's here, it's the signal!"

Anna gritted her teeth. Her excellent sensory ability felt that "it was not like this yet". All the marbles are not in the correct position yet.

At that moment, Yata and Kusanagi's screams echoed through the network.

"We're almost there! Just do it!"

"Anna, do it!"

She closed her eyes, she gave a sigh and when she opened her eyelids again, her doubts had already dissipated. She broadcast the proclamation of her as "King" to the supernatural network.

"From now on, we will gather all the power of the Red Clan and open the "way"...!"

A bright red aura came out from her folded arms. The aura turned into a flame, a shrine, and spread towards the clansmen like flames spreading across the plains.

Anna felt a burning sensation on her neck as the fourth "Sword of Damocles" appeared above her head.

Kamamoto, who was next to her, clenched his fist and shouted.

"No Blood!"

Kusanagi, who was deep underground, laughed in fighting spirit.

"No Bone!"

Yata, who was further down, ran with determination in his heart.

"No Ash!"

At their respective stations, the clan members (Akagi, Bando, Chitose, Dewa, Eric, and Fujishima) expressed their thoughts and threw the marbles in their hands.

Anna could see it in her eyes. Her eyes, which only recognize the color red, were able to see through "Homura's" red color through space. The red dots were connected in a straight line, forming a straight line.

She should have already abandoned her doubts. She knew she had to do it.

Still, she couldn't help but wonder if she could do it.

That flame. That red. The power of the King. Is it possible for her to control it?

(Will I be able to achieve things like that person?)

A few seconds of coma. The question that ran through Anna's mind, however, disappeared in the next moment. Someone was behind her.

It wasn't Kamamoto. Neither do the other members of the clan. His presence was clearly felt even from a distance.

Furthermore, the person behind Anna was much bigger than them. A bright, warm, soft and beautiful red.

Anna watched, unblinking, as his hand reached over her shoulder and took hers.

Anna's lips parted. Her voice overlapped with that of the man behind her, echoing her words.

"Burn them!"

The flames on both arms enveloped the marble in the air, as if it had a will. The exploding supernatural flame penetrated the ground and caused the marbles on the ground to explode, expanding further and swallowing the marbles below, increasing its power by doubling each time it was chained together. A huge column of fire engulfed everything from the first floor of the basement to the tenth floor of the basement, burning it to the ground.

Anna could see that enormous column of fire.

The flame of the King that she created with the power of all.

Anna looked back.

However, there was no one there. The shadow of his tall figure, the warmth she felt, the smile on his lips, nothing. There was no trace of his existence left there.

Instead, Munakata's face loomed near the exit from the ground.

Seeing a hint of pain in his eyes, Anna knew that Munakata had seen the same thing as her.

She met Munakata's eyes. Anna nodded slightly and lowered her eyes.

Then, remembering the man who was behind her at the end, Anna laughed a little.

+++++++++++

The sound of an explosion echoed in the distance, and Nagare recognized it simply as the sound of a battle.

In various parts of the "secret base", clan members "Jungle" and "Homura" fight fierce battles. Naturally, the weapons given to the clan members included bombs, so he thought that was the reason.

By the time he realized that was different, it was too late.

The sound of explosions echoed at regular intervals, getting closer and louder. When he gasped and looked up, a waterfall-like flame had already broken through the ceiling and was falling onto the "Slate".

The roaring stream of flames engulfed Nagare's body and licked the entire hall. Kotosaka jumped into the air and the others deployed a supernatural shield to block the flames.

Nagare was the only one who was directly exposed to the flames.

If he were a normal person, he wouldn't have been left with even a speck of dust. Even a normal "King" would not have been able to survive unscathed.

Of course, Nagare was none of those things.

"Is this your plan?"

Despite being exposed to the inferno that was still pouring out, Nagare did not suffer a single burn.

Nagare said with a sigh.

"I am deeply disappointed. What is the point of doing something like this?"

He thought that Isana Yashiro's intelligence was on par with his, so he didn't want to think that such a foolish plan was a trump card. If he truly believed that Nagare could be defeated with the supporting fire of the "Red Queen", then he was no longer even a person to talk to.

And Shairo did not disappoint Nagare's expectations.

"...The path is already made."

"Path?"

Nagare looked up again at the words he murmured.

He could see the blue sky.

Nagare stopped breathing. The blue sky, the white of the clouds. And floating there, swords of various colors.

He felt as if his electromagnetic heart was beating rapidly.

"Perhaps..."

"That's right."

The light of determination shone in Shiro's eyes. Determined to overcome or crush the difficulties before them by any means necessary. The formula for this already exists within Shiro.

In a lower voice, Shiro spoke of the method.

"I will destroy the "Slate" with a "Damocles Down"."

+++++++++++

Mishakuji Yukari had never thought that his sword was as beautiful as it was now.

A flash of "excess" released from an impossible angle, free and flexible, is truly art. Mishakuji views his swordsmanship that way, not as a boast, but as a fair evaluation. A human-like swordsman who steps forward as if he were dancing and wields his sword as if in full bloom will not be able to take a single hit.

Yes. If you do not have the proper skill in using the sword, you will never be able to bring out the beauty of the sword.

That's why Mishakuji loudly praised his opponent.

"That's amazing, Kuro-chan! You've become so strong. You're almost on par with me now!"

Yes. Yatogami Kuro also became more beautiful than he had ever seen before.

Firm and solid as a rock, no matter how unexpected the blow, "Kotowari" will absorb it and unleash a devastating counterattack. His eyes never waver, always fixed on Mishakuji.

Ah, Mishakuji thought, with a tingle.

(I wish this moment could last forever!)

However, the reality is that that is not the case. Mishakuji knew this better than anyone.

The elevated "Ayamachi" and the lower "Kotowari" crossed each other. The surrounding auras repel each other, producing sparks and a sizzle.

Mishakuji smiled charmingly as he used one hand to relieve the pressure of his spit.

"But right now, you can't just be even. If you don't surpass me, you won't be able to go to your "King"!"

"Kuh..."

Biting his lip in frustration, Kuro shifted his grip slightly. When he released the amount of pressure that had been loosened, Kuro flexibly withdrew and readied his sword again.

Mishakuji raised his voice as he made his sword dance gracefully with just one hand.

"Come, show me!"

At that moment two lights exploded.

Silver and green. He could know it without seeing it, because it is the light of his King.

"That's from Nagare-chan."

The appearance of the "Sword of Damocles" meant that Isana Yashiro and Hisui Nagare were at war.

That in itself stirred no emotion in Mishakuji. If those two fight, Nagare will definitely win. There was no way that his "Green King", who was connected to the "Slate", would be defeated, no matter how many conditions were combined.

So what surprised Mishakuji was Kuro's reaction.

He took something out of his pocket. It is a single coin that shines silver. Gripping his tightly, Kuro muttered.

"That's right. My sword is to my King, Shiro. As long as I'm with him..."

Along with the coin, Kuro grabbed the hilt of his sword and silently looked at Mishakuji.

Mishakuji was impressed by that look. His eyes are like the surface of a calm lake, without haste or hesitation, just a determination hidden deep inside.

Kuro declared happily, mirroring Mishukaji in his incredibly deep eyes.

"Mishakuji Yukari. I will surpass you!"

Mishakuji let out a sigh and laughed.

The current Kuro is the strongest Kuro to date.

Yatogami Kuro is not Mishakuji Yukari. He operates with a completely different logic than Mishakuji, who acts freely and selfishly.

Kuro demonstrates his ultimate power for the sake of the King. For his Lord. It's for someone important.

That's why Kuro was the strongest at that time. To save the "King" who is in trouble, run to his side as soon as possible and defeat the enemy in front of him. He will expend all of his life force for that purpose.

Mishakuji couldn't help but be happy about that. He considers the last-minute exchanges of life and the brilliance of will that emerges to be the most beautiful of all.

Kuro kicked the ground.

Unconsciously, Mishakuji also started running.

Rounding to ''Kotowari''. Preventing, in return, he pushed "Ayamachi", repelling him. Sparks fly from tip to tip and the pressure on the blade emits light. A deadly dance with two swords, a thin line between life and death as if they were playing. As if he were playing in a paradise, Mishakuji was captivated by the moment.

And then, the end came without a hitch.

Kuro intervened. Two steps, three steps, the speed far exceeded Mishakuji's expectations. As he raised the spirit of division, he turned, as if half of his body was immersed in it.

Before he knew it, the "Kotowari" sword had pierced Mishakuji's chest.

''Ayamachi'' flew through the air and rolled on the concrete making a sound.

Before he could think of anything, the words came pouring out.

"That was beautiful..."

He collapsed and fell to his knees. Fever and pain from his shoulder to his chest. He could feel the blood dripping and coming out of his fingers.

His fingertips could still move, meaning he could still grasp the sword.

But he wasn't going to do that.

The decision has already been made.

This is the first time he has been defeated since he pointed his sword at Ichigen Miwa. He couldn't bear to see that great swordsman slowly lose his life to illness. He wanted to see his life burn in the midst of battle. So he doesn't regret what he did.

And now...

At this moment, his youngest disciple, who could only tremble, was about to surpass him. Mishakuji felt quiet satisfaction in the fact that no one else had cut him except the man who had inherited Miwa's technique.

His feet were shaking. Someone is fighting somewhere. Kuro looked towards the end of the hallway with an impatient expression on his face.

"Damn, it's started!"

Mishakuji muttered under his breath.

"...Kill me. And go quickly to your king."

Then, Mishakuji closed his eyes.

There was a pause.

Mishakuji opened his eyelids at the sound of the doorbell.

When he looked, he saw that Kuro had sheathed his sword.

Before Mishakuji could say anything, Kuro stared at him.

"In the fields and mountains the color may differ, but we are like noni seeds."

Yes, he recited a poem.

Mishakuji rolled his eyes. He remembers the poet Miwa's haikus without missing a single word. However, what Kuro said was...

"...I don't know that poem."

"It's my poem... Goodbye."

Without saying anything, Kuro turned his back on him and started running.

Mishakuji looked at his back in shock. The only thing he could do was record a single phrase and follow in the footsteps of his younger brother.

When he looked down silently, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Are you looking, Ichigen-sama? That child has finally become a full-fledged person."

He then he got up. Stumbling, he picked up "Ayamachi" and gently placed it in his holster. The time to exercise that will not come for some time. Now that all the battles are reaching their final stages, there probably isn't much he can do.

But that doesn't mean there's nothing.

"Now... the least I can do is get a new seed."

Mishakuji muttered that and started walking in the opposite direction of Kuro, looking for the stairs that led to the top.

+++++++++++

The great hall was engulfed in flames.

The breath of the "Red Queen" blew from above, completely burning multiple armor plates and leaving large holes. In the distance you can see a blue sky and a sparkling silver tip.

Nagare turned to Shiro and glared at him.

"Are you crazy? Damocles Down..."

Shiro accepted that look head on.

"It's the only way to destroy the "Slate". Neither me, nor the "Golden King". Another person involved in "The Beginning" told me this option."

"Are you planning to turn this into a crater?!"

No, Nagare denied his own words. If Tokyo is caught in the "burst of royal power", it will not simply become a crater. The swords of all the "kings" present there could fall together. Their power is not just a metaphor, but it would be worthy of destroying this planet.

For a moment, Nagare doubted Shiro's character, wondering if he was trying to negotiate with the world itself as a hostage. But he shook his head slowly.

"Concentrate the enormous energy of the "Damocles Down" in a single point. According to the Second Methodology of the Schwert Regulation, it will cause a Hammer Resonance Effect. After calculating the degree of resistance of the "Slate", I discovered that its limit value, was theoretically the same as "Damocles Down". When certain conditions are met, the "Slate" and the "Sword of Damocles" will only annihilate each other.''

Nagare opened his eyes.

He only had a little experience with Schwert's control methodology. Weismann's deviation, the source of supernatural powers, and his crystal, the "Sword of Damocles", are normally phenomena that not even the "King" can do anything about. Although it can be observed, it is impossible to intervene, and the only way to prevent it from happening is to end the King's life. That was the conclusion of the first methodology.

However, the second method proposes another way.

Nagare punched the air. The hologram image that appeared instantly, along with dozens of data, showed that his prediction was correct.

"Impossible! He is pushing his own Weismann level to the limit!"

What the Schwert Control/Second Methodology proposes is that the "King" can voluntarily cross the critical point of the Weismann deviation. By deliberately dropping the largest energy body, the "Sword of Damocles", the power from it becomes directional. In that case, "Damocles Down" transmits energy as "penetration", rather than "diffusion".

The "Silver" Sanctuary is expanding. No reservations, no restrictions, to the point that even Nagare, who was directly connected to the "Slate", was overwhelmed. A dazzling silver glow overflowed from the hand that Shiro had placed on his chest, and in contrast, his expression began to distort in agony.

"Shiro?!"

Neko next to him huddled worried. However, Shiro forced a smile and looked at Nagare.

"What do you think, Hisui Nagare? Don't you think this is some kind of message?"

"What...?"

"The "Slate" can only be destroyed when the "King" releases the sword of his own will. I don't know who he is, but it seems to me that someone who created the "Slate" is saying that."

He closed his eyes in silence and connected the words.

"If it is too much for you, you must destroy it with your own hands."

"I will not leave you!"

Nagare released all the power of him.

A green aura enveloped his entire body and a ferocious momentum coursed through his body. Nagare roared as he tilted his body downwards.

"Looking at Suouh Mikoto's case, it takes less than 10 seconds from the start of the fall to reach the underground! If I kill you before, the sword will disappear!"

Shiro slowly opened his eyes.

"...Try it."

The value indicating the Weismann deviation in the image exceeded the critical value.

The fall began.

Before he could confirm that, Nagare had attacked Shiro. An extremely fast, lightning-like strike aimed at the throat of the "Silver King".

A red Japanese umbrella blocked his fingers.

"Grr...!"

The two auras, silver and green, collide and annihilate each other while emitting a shockwave. Shiro who rules "immutability" is dedicating all of his power to defense. Even though Nagare was directly connected to the "Slate" and gained infinite energy, it took him three seconds to break it.

The Japanese umbrella broke into thousands of pieces and the pieces flew into the air.

Shiro's body was also swept away by the shock wave like a strong wind and fell to the ground. Now that he was helpless, Nagare pounced on him like an animal.

"This is the end!"

A fist that turned into electricity pierced Shiro's abdomen. Nagare's imagination of burning his internal organs and his spinal cord and killing him along with his life did not come true.

Shiro's appearance dispersed like mist, melting into the air and disappearing.

(Ability to recognize and manipulate!)

It took him two seconds to remember those words and find Neko trembling in his arms. 5 seconds left. It was more than enough. The "Silver King" has already exhausted his power. It takes less than a second to destroy the defenseless Strain.

Lightning claws fell on the two from above.

A single swing of the sword blocked him head-on.

Yatogami Kuro. He grabbed the hilt of his sword with both hands and gritted his teeth to block Nagare's attack.

Through the space between his clenched teeth, he shouted the name of his "King" with a voice that sounded like a roar.

"Shiro...!"

Nagare frowned.

Yatogami Kuro is there. He stopped trying to think about what that meant. Now is not the time to think. That happened a long time ago. Now is the time to finish them off.

"You're in the way!"

At the same time as he shouted, the pressure of his supernatural ability increased even more. However, that prediction that only one clan member's sword would break for no reason turned out to be wrong once again.

It did not break. The sword held by Kuro, his colorless steel, still withstood the full force of the "King".

A silver aura enveloped that figure.

Taking a deep breath, Nagare looked over Kuro's shoulder.

Isana Yashiro woke up and enveloped Neko and Kuro in a silver shrine.

In that last moment of collision of destructive power, what passed through Nagare's mind was not impatience, but doubt.

"How? Why? They reject power, how can they be so strong?!"

Kuro, Neko and Shiro's eyes were staring at Nagare. The six eyes told him that if they fight, they would never lose.

At that moment, Nagare wanted to turn around.

Shiro, the reason they were there.

Why aren't the clan members who were supposed to be there to stop them?

Mishakuji Yukari, Sukuna Gojou, Kotosaka, Iwafune Tenkei.

For a moment, he could see them sitting around a tea table in their six-tatami "secret base," talking, fighting and laughing together.

At this moment, he suddenly exhaled.

A shock ran through his heart.

"......!"

He has been dreaming about that for many years. Life outside the straitjacket. Breathe freely and fly around the world.

That was the heart. If you have the heart, you can do it. The dead can return to the living and fulfill the wishes of those who also died. Extraordinary abilities for all humans. The power to resist. Be king.

The heart that had heard his prayers was pierced by a sword.

Nagare learned that not through observation but through actual experience. A silver slash pierced Nagare's stone heart. The blood of the supernatural was spilled and the life that was supposed to have been recovered returned to nothing.

His knees buckled and he fell to the ground.

Hisui Nagare looked at the sky through his falling hair. An open well and the blue sky beyond.

The "Sword of Damocles" floating there disappeared.

Nagare murmured hoarsely.

"How unfortunate..."

Then, Nagare turned his gaze towards Shiro.

The tension and caution had not yet left them. That was annoying and Nagare smiled slightly. Nagare silently closed his eyes and said:

"But I'm satisfied..."

Those were the last words that the ''Green King'' Hisui Nagare said.

+++++++++++

It was certainly visible to others.

After the silver sword fell and a shock and tremor resounded, the “Swords of Damocles” floating in the sky vanished one after another.

The test of being king, the crystal of supernatural power. It was in the heaven that he could not reach, even if he stretched out his hand, and it was about to disappear without him reaching it.

The "Red Queen" stared at that.

The sword, a symbol of the destiny that took from her family, but that also brought her something so precious, disappeared. At the same time, something inside her slowly...

"That disappeared..."

The words that Kamamoto murmured were also Anna's voice.

Disappear. The things that had bound them until now. The things that have brought them together until now. That will disappear.

Anna suddenly felt like someone was calling her and looked around her.

But she couldn't find it anywhere. That warmth and that beautiful red are no longer anywhere.

Feeling alone, Anna looked down and closed her eyes.

The "Blue King" watched the situation unfold with his usual calm.

Therefore, even when his "Sword of Damocles", a cracked symbol of power that seemed about to crumble, disappeared, he had no particular feeling about it. However, he simply said...

"It seems my life has been spared."

That's all she said.

However, Awashima, who was behind him, looked different. She dropped the saber she was holding and ran towards Munakata's back.

"Captain!"

Awashima was crying. Relief and joy are on all their faces. Munakata saw that, smiled slightly, and said casually.

"Hehe. I was a little curious to see if you could kill me, Awashima-kun. Anyway, thanks for your hard work."

At those words, something disappeared from Awashima's expression.

Before Munakata's clear mind could formulate a response, Awashima opened her mouth to ask what that was.

"Captain. I'm sorry, but gratitude is not enough."

"Eh?"

"Excuse me!"

Awashima's fist slammed into Munakata's cheek, sending his glasses flying and sending them crashing to the ground.

+++++++++++

"Nagare! Nagare!"

Kotosaka descended and screamed in pain next to Nagare.

However, Nagare did not move. With a satisfied smile on his face, he lay on the cold ground, not moving in the slightest. The fierce energy that had overflowed a moment ago could no longer be felt anywhere.

Kuro asked, still not letting his guard down.

"Is he dead?"

Shiro looked down in pain and responded.

"He survived thanks to the power of the "Slate". That's why..."

Those words were drowned out by the sudden sound of an explosion.

All three were hit by tremors that made it difficult for them to even stand. A low, resounding explosion sound echoed and deafened their ears. Kuro and Neko shouted in unison as they helped Shiro, who has become unstable.

"What is happening?!"

"Meow! Earthquake!"

In response to the clan member's dismay, Shiro remained calm. He looked up at the shaking ceiling and muttered to himself.

"No, someone blew it up."

"Ah. I'm sorry, but I have to fix things."

"What?!"

Kuro held his "Kotowari" in the direction of the voice. It was a familiar voice, and its owner was the one to be careful of along with Nagare.

"Gray King", Tenkei Iwafune.

He slowly walked out from behind the pillar. Blood flowed under his feet. Iwafune muttered with a self-deprecating smile on his mortal face.

"I never expected that situation to change... it was a complete defeat."

"...Kuro."

Without Shiro telling him, Kuro lowered his sword. Iwafune already lost his fighting power. No, he may already be on the verge of losing his life.

However, Iwafune showed no signs of worrying about his situation and simply said:

"I have also ordered my clansmen to flee. You should leave too."

The sounds of the explosion were getting louder. Small pieces of concrete fell from the cracked ceiling. Kotosaka flew away while he avoided them and shouted alongside Iwafune.

"Iwa-san! Iwa-san! Nagare is...! Iwa-san!"

With a weak smile on his blood-stained lips, Iwafune looked at Kotosaka with a gentle gaze.

"Haha. You too, Kotosaka. Now. Go!"

Kuro had no way of knowing what Kotosaka was thinking.

He hesitated for a moment and then flew away with a sad cry. From the hole in the ceiling to the clear blue sky. As if he was chasing him, Kuro also stretched out his colorless hand and jumped, holding Neko and Shiro in his arms.

Just before reaching the top, Kuro looked back for a moment.

Iwafune held Nagare in his arms and looked at him. His lips, with a wide smile, uttered some words.

He couldn't hear him. Kuro and his friends went up. Iwafune looked at Nagare with his eyes closed as if he were sleeping.

The explosive smoke enveloped the figures of the two "Kings", and since then nothing could be seen.

That was the scene at the end of the battle between the Kings.

+++++++++++

Amidst the roar of explosions and tremors, Kusanagi stood alone, staring at his feet.

"We won?"

Through Anna's supernatural network, he had already given an evacuation order. Most of the clan members in "Homura" should have been able to escape safely. Still, his role as Senior Official of the Reds was to wait until the last minute.

He still couldn't be sure what happened to the Silver Clan or the "Green King". They must be escaping alone, he thought, when he heard a voice behind him.

"Kusanagi-san! Let's run!"

It was Yata. Sliding his skateboard from the end of the hallway, he came straight toward him.

Kusanagi nodded silently and ran off with Yata. As Kusanagi headed towards the stairs leading to the upper floor, he couldn't help but ask Yata.

"What happened to Fushimi? Is everything okay?"

"Heh," Yata laughed. He looked back for a moment and then looked forward without hesitation.

"It's okay. It's okay now."

Kusanagi also laughed at his confident words. Yata-chan, who was good at running and going wild, had grown quite a bit. They ran together toward the light, feeling out of place.

Munakata's instructions were quick as tremors resonated from underground.

"All personnel, evacuate."

"Yes!"

Awashima accepted that and gave orders one after another through the intercom. It was supposed to be a normal scene from "Scepter 4", but the only difference was that Munakata's cheeks were very swollen and his glasses had gone somewhere.

The members running back and forth are surprised every time they see Munakata's face. However, Munakata's attitude was calm. After forcing themselves to accept that it was probably his fault, the members returned to their jobs.

At that moment he felt a presence behind him.

When he turned around, a man and a woman were about to appear, trying to get out from under the solid ground.

Douhan Hirasaka's "Wall Breaking Technique". Feeling satisfied that he was able to witness the ninja's skills, Munakata looked at Fushimi, who was being helped by her.

Fushimi had the same dull expression on his face as always. As expected, he felt tired, but he was not proud of having brought that operation to success. He simply said, as if nothing had happened.

"Mission accomplished."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Munakata responded as if nothing had happened and looked forward again.

+++++++++++

By the time they reached the ground, the noise of the impact had already subsided.

Kuro was the first to emerge from the sewer and, while helping Neko and Shiro, he quickly looked around.

It was an alley in the middle of nowhere. There were no members of the "Jungle" clan. Many people have already decided. Most likely they escaped or were captured.

Kuro breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say that they were safe, he stumbled and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Shiro?!"

"Are you okay?!"

He clutched his chest in pain and sat with his back against the wall. He looked at the worried Kuro and Neko and smiled weakly.

"It seems that I am also running out of strength..."

"What does that mean?!"

"The body I'm in is not my original body... Before the incident at Gakuenjima, the "Colorless King" changed our bodies... In other words, he was taking over the body of a strange boy."

Kuro and Neko gasped at the same time.

They knew it. Isana Yashiro is a temporary name and the current Shiro is not the original body of Adolf K. Weismann. Due to the plot of "Fox Mask", the mastermind behind the incident a year ago, he was trapped in his current body.

Shiro spoke breathlessly.

"I have been able to continue existing thanks to the immutable power of the "Silver King", but... that power has disappeared. Along with the "Slate"..."

"What? Hey!"

"What? Hey, Shiro!"

Kuro and Neko felt a horrible sense of loss at the same time.

If he was able to stay in this world thanks to the silver supernatural ability, what will happen to him now that the "Slate" is gone?

"I've been borrowing it for a long time, but I have to return it to the original owner..."

"That is...!"

"Shiro...!"

With tears streaming down her face, Neko took Shiro's hand. Shiro smiled slightly and squeezed Neko and Kuro's hands tightly.

His palm was warm.

"...It's okay. I will definitely come back. Because I am your king..."

After that, he closed his eyes as if he were sleeping.

A silver light came out of Shiro's body. He disappeared as if he melted into space, leaving nothing behind.

"Shiro!"

"Shiro, wake up! Answer me!"

As they clung to Shiro and called desperately to him, his shoulders suddenly moved.

"Ah..."

He stirred and slowly opened his eyes. Kuro opened his eyebrows and looked at Shiro's face with relief. He thought that he had regained consciousness and that he had not gone anywhere.

But it was different.

Shiro's gaze looking at Kuro was filled with fear and confusion. That is not the expression of Isana Yashiro that they know. Like a child who had never seen them before, he looked at Kuro and Neko's faces, and timidly opened his mouth.

"Who are you?"

Yes, I'm

English Translation:

Yes, I’m HERO

I’ll take you with me, just like this

Yes, I’m HERO

Far away, to someplace you’ve never seen

Yes, I’m HERO

I’ll take you with me, just like this

Yes, I’m HERO

Far away, to someplace you’ve never seen

Started with a Superball-like rebound

I can’t be a prince on a white horse, you know

“Won’t I do?” rewind

The era started moving in 1993

An unusual, thorny path

Long hair fluttering in the wind

1996, suddenly

People disappear from the night streets

Involved generation

I just do it

Until time stops

life is beautiful

A hundred million stars fall on the forest of sleepless buildings

One by one they’re shining, shining, yeah

The destination of that contrail

Look up at it and give a thumbs up (good luck!)

Yes, I’m HERO

I’ll take you with me, just like this

Yes, I’m HERO

Far away, to someplace you’ve never seen

Yes, I’m HERO

I’ll take you with me, just like this

Yes, I’m HERO

Far away, to someplace you’ve never seen

Leave it to the captain, leave this game to me

Leave the steering wheel to me, leave this race to me

Leave the industry to me, leave this country to me

That’s pretty admirable to take responsibility like that

“Unlikeness” is precisely “likeness”

Impossible started to become possible with “we gotta win!”

Every time we change into our uniforms

We rewrite history

Right in the middle of an unconventional someday

Will you accept the next unreasonable request?

We lose memories to the point of dizziness

But there’s pain because we aren’t AI

Unstoppable evolution

The time is Reiwa

If you’re aiming for it, 3 stars

Hey, demon instructor

It isn’t just black or white, we’re living together in a gray era

Through hardships we’re riding, riding, yeah

On the day this rain stops

That smile under that mask

Show it to me

Yes, I’m HERO

I’ll take you with me, just like this

Yes, I’m HERO

Far away, to someplace you’ve never seen

Yes, I’m HERO

I’ll take you with me, just like this

Yes, I’m HERO

Far away, to someplace you’ve never seen

The cheers that encouraged me and

The gazes that encouraged me and

The generous applause and responses

There’s a hint in harsh opinions

The cheers that encouraged me and

The gazes that encouraged me and

The generous applause and responses

You who give them all to me are the HERO

Yes, I’m HERO
