atashi to iu binetsu de uchinuiteku
アタシという微熱で撃ち抜いてく
With the slight heat known as me, I'll shoot you down.
Follow me, Shirayuki.
I will bring you to a more suitable place.
To EU.
Shirayuki!
Don't! Get out of here!
Damn!
Kin-chan!
No, stop!
Shirayuki!
What are you trying to do?!
Are you in a position to be worrying about others?
You really are hopeless.
Well, you did do a good job for an idiot, Kinji.
Durandal, you are under arrest for attempting to abduct a minor!
The Eighth Bullet
Durandal
I have investigated how you do things, Durandal.
In the case of having multiple enemies, you will break them up and take care of them one by one.
That's why I left Shirayuki unguarded,
so that I could lure you out.
Aria, you...
Butei Law Number Two:
You must protect and fulfil the agreement with the client.
I will never abandon a mission.
Though, it's true that I was annoyed at you that time.
You think you've won because of that?
W-Water?
Shirayuki!
Kin-chan, I'm sorry.
He told me that if I didn't keep it a secret and come alone,
he'd bomb Academy Island and kill Kin-chan.
When was that?
Yesterday, when Kin-chan went to buy fireworks, a text came.
I had no choice but to follow it.
It's okay. Don't cry now.
I'm sorry to Aria, as well.
I'm always doing mean things to you, yet you...
A-All I did was accept the request. That's why I'm protecting you.
My objective is Durandal.
So you don't need to thank me or anything.
Shirayuki, where did Durandal go?
Well...
After I was tied here, I heard the sound of a hatch opening in the ceiling.
He went upstairs.
Aria, you go after him first.
I read about it in the report that I got from Riko before.
You can't swim, right?
I can! As long as I have a swimming ring!
We don't have one here.
Just listen and go!
But I can't abandon you guys and leave...
I didn't say you were leaving.
Go upstairs and get the key from him.
There's a higher chance of you getting the key than me.
B-But...
Go!
Every single second is precious right now!
Okay.
Wait for me. I will definitely bring the key back!
It took this long, and I finally got one.
This is the best I can do with my lock-picking skills.
I won't make it.
Kin-chan.
Just go.
I don't want to put Kin-chan in any danger.
Don't say that!
Shrine maidens of Hotogi are keeper shrine maidens.
It's our fate to sacrifice our body and soul for people.
So...
What are you saying?!
How can I leave you and go?!
It's okay.
Even if I die, no one will cry.
Even though the teachers may praise me,
it's not because of me, but because of my abilities as a shrine maiden of Hotogi.
Aria will definitely bring the key back.
So don't give up!
Take a deep breath!
Listen to what your bodyguard says!
I'm cancelling the request.
Kin-chan, please live.
Shirayuki!
Don't screw with me!
Now, just from the feeling in my fingertips,
I can understand all the inner workings of the lock.
Kin-chan.
You said before that you're cancelling the request for a bodyguard, right?
It's got nothing to do with the request.
I will protect you, Shirayuki.
Because of who you are, I want to protect you, no matter what.
Okay?
Now, hurry.
Shirayuki, where are you?!
Shirayuki!
Shirayuki, are you all right?!
Kin-chan, I swallowed some water.
Shirayuki.
Kinji!
You're all right.
Wait, Aria!
A piano wire.
To be precise, a twist nano-kevlar wire.
It's Durandal's trap.
You did a good job spotting it.
It's because I can't let a kind girl who is worrying about me get injured.
Kinji, are you...
What is it, Aria?
A-Anyway, let's protect Shirayuki!
Where is Shirayuki, I wonder...
Over there.
Shirayuki, are you all right?
Thank you, Aria.
Kin-chan came, as well.
What's with this uncomfortable feeling?
Kin-chan, what's wrong?
Say, Shirayuki, are your lips all right?
From just now.
Huh? Yeah, they're fine.
Aria, get away from her!
Kinji, what's this about?!
Shirayuki?!
Aria, she's not Shirayuki!
The real Shirayuki wouldn't have remained calm after hearing me ask about her lips.
Aria!
You're Durandal, am I right?
Don't call me by that name.
I do not like the name that others gave me.
Be quiet!
A hundred and seven years of the false charges that have been placed on Mama are your sins.
I'll capture you and make sure you carry the charges yourself!
Just like what Lupin IV said, you do seem to have the power, Aria.
Lupin IV?
So she knows Riko?
You're like my great ancestor.
Beautiful and adorable in appearance, but courageous in heart.
Her name is Jeanne d'Arc.
You're lying!
Jeanne d'Arc was burned at the stake and died in the tenth generation.
She doesn't have any descendants.
That was a substitute.
We are a bloodline of tacticians,
hiding in the shadows and controlling history,
passing down the knowledge of that glorified name.
I am the 30th generation Jeanne d'Arc.
Follow me, Aria.
You were able to injure Lupin IV, so I will take you with me.
Unless you prefer to die?
Tohyama, if you dare move, I will freeze Aria.
Kinji, just shoot her!
Should I begin by freezing your tongue that talks too much?
Aria!
What?!
Durandal, I won't let you hurt my friends any more than this!
Shirayuki!
Kin-chan, Aria, I'm sorry for being late.
You did very well. As expected of you, Shirayuki.
How's this, Durandal?
Now it's three versus one.
You're at a disadvantage.
You guys don't know what I really look like.
In other words, this is just opening entertainment.
Enough with your talk! Hurry up and show yourself!
Aria, give me your hands.
It's going to sting a little.
It's all right now.
Thank you, Shirayuki.
However, this ice is powerful.
Even with my healing powers,
it will take quite awhile for your hands to fully heal.
So, Kin-chan, protect Aria.
I will defeat the enemy myself.
But Shirayuki...
I will be fine.
Trust me, Kin-chan.
Shirayuki.
Very touching.
However, it's foolish,
trying to defeat me by yourself.
Jeanne, stop this.
I don't wish to hurt anyone,
even if it's someone like you.
Don't make me laugh.
You are nothing more than a raw gemstone.
It's impossible for you to injure me, someone who has been polished in EU.
Also, there is no way you would betray the Hotogi,
if you understand what that means.
That's only if I'm my usual self.
However, at this moment, I would break any restrictions placed on me by the Hotogi.
The only existence that would make me do that is by my side.
What?
Kin-chan, please don't look at me from this point onwards.
I'm going to use a Hotogi forbidden technique.
If you see that, you will definitely be scared of me and find it unthinkable,
and you'll hate me.
Shirayuki...
Shirayuki, don't worry.
There is only one thing that's unthinkable.
That's me hating you.
That's the only thing that is unthinkable.
I'll be right back.
Jeanne, I can no longer let you run away.
Because you will be seeing the secret hidden in a shrine maiden of Hotogi, the forbidden Kidou.
We have continually inherited this power of our ancestors...
...from two thousand years ago.
Fire?
Shirayuki is merely a fake name meant to hide my real name.
TL Note: "Shirayuki" means "white snow" in Japanese.
My real name is the Hiiro no Miko.
TL Note: "Hiiro no Miko" means Scarlet Shrine Maiden".
In other words, Himiko!
It's pointless to fight back.
There's nothing that this Irokane Ayame cannot cut.
That's my line!
There's nothing that my holy sword, Durandal, cannot cut!
Shirayuki.
Kinji.
I'm fine, already.
We're going to assist Shirayuki.
This battle won't last long.
Yeah. Not only does it use up a large amount of energy,
but stealth also depletes your mind power.
That's right. At some point, she will be out of power.
And that's our chance.
Will you believe me?
Even though I'm telling you over and over again, why?!
Why won't you believe me?!
I was an idiot back then.
Please forgive me.
I swear, as long as I live, I will believe you.
A-As long as you live?!
Even if everyone in the world won't believe you,
I will be on your side for my whole life.
Aria, will you believe me, as well?
All right.
Then I'll leave it to you, Aria.
Throw your sword away, Jeanne.
You have lost.
What a naive woman.
Instead of aiming for my body, you only aimed for my sword.
Not yet, Kinji.
Shirayuki probably still has power left for one more attack.
Come three seconds after me.
Okay.
Shirayuki, I'll show you something...
Ice flowers of Orleans...
Become silver ice and shatter!
Now!
You're only a mere Butei!
Drop your weapon.
It's better for you to be a good girl here.
This is one case solved, Ojou-san.
Not yet. Ninth Butei Law: Butei must not kill a human.
But that's different for me!
Hotogi Souten style, Scarlet God of Hotogi!
My... holy sword has...
I'm arresting you, Durandal.
Shirayuki, are you all right?
Kin-chan, were you scared...
...of me just now, when I was doing that...
Why would I be scared?
It was a very beautiful and strong fire.
It was like the fireworks we saw together when we were small.
Kin-chan...
Don't disappear on me without a single word ever again, okay?
The opening ceremony of the fifth international Butei competition,
Adseard, will now commence.
After that, Jeanne was taken away by Masters,
and a moment of peace arrived.
Hotogi-san!
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go! Butei!
No, no, I can't, or else I'll go into Hyst again.
You see, a member of the cheer squad was missing.
I persuaded Shirayuki.
I said, "If you're the Student Council President, then do something."
I see.
Thanks to that, our practice didn't go to waste.
Thanks, Shirayuki.
Well... I have something I have to say, too,
to Aria and Kin-chan.
What is it?
When Kin-chan caught a cold, I told a lie.
A lie?
The medicine that Kin-chan drank; it wasn't me that bought it.
It was Aria, right?
It was Aria?
W-Was there something like that?
I'm such a bad woman, aren't I?
But I don't want to stay as one, so...
I'm sorry!
I-It's okay.
Let's end this conversation.
Instead of that, Shirayuki, be my slave, as well!
Until now, I thought that no matter what kind of enemy I was facing,
as long as I was with my partner, everything would be all right.
But this time, it's because the three of us were together that we won.
That's why, you will also be my...
In other words... you will be my companion.
That Aria wants a companion?
B-But a slave...
If it's Kin-chan's slave, then...
Here, take this. It's a duplicate key to Kinji's room.
From now on, you can enter on your will.
Huh?
Thank you, Aria!
This duplicate key is the sign of Kin-chan's love.
You know...
However, between slaves, you two cannot... do those things like last time... those...
Lewd things are forbidden!
Those things will ruin the spirit of the team...
Aria, you plan to get the jump on me, don't you?
Huh?
Let me tell you this before hand: I have also... I have also...
...kissed Kin-chan!
What's with that?!
We're even! We're even now!
So, all I have to do now is take one step ahead.
Kinji, you kissed your client?!
You disgraceful Butei!
No, that's-
Stop! Don't shoot me!
You idiot, Kinji!

Somehow, we managed to solve another case.
Durandal sure was a persistent opponent.
Speaking of persistent, Shirayuki comes to mind.
She comes at me immediately.
It was a tough battle.
It was my first time facing an opponent who can use ice.
Speaking of ice, snow comes to mind.
Speaking of snow, Shirayuki comes to mind.
Even so, she uses fire. That's so weird.
It looks like we will be facing a lot of tough opponents in the future.
Speaking of facing tough opponents in the future, Shirayuki comes to mind.
I really hate that girl.
You actually like her quite a bit, right?

Honey Trap
Honey in the scorn, and a hole in Kinji.
