She should be approaching her limits soon...

Let's call it a day.

Go wash yourself.

No, I can keep going.

Please, let's continue.

Don't push yourself too much.

Your wounds haven't completely healed either.

Don't be in such a hurry.

Keep in mind that both practicing and resting are equally important in this training process.

She's been able to learn where her limits of using the flash sword are.

But...

A basin surrounded by mountains on all sides, eh?

I see.

It is the perfect place for a secluded life.

Oh...

Looks like the size fits quite well.

Was this suit from back then?

Yes.

It's lacking a left sleeve,

but at least it's in a better condition than yours.

You can have it.

Sit.

Eat.

Even if you're not hungry,

you need to force yourself to put it into your stomach.

You haven't changed.

Everything about you remains as it was back then.

I'm sure you know...

...that while we half-human, half-Yoma grow, we do not age.

We remain in this form until we die in battle or turn into Yoma.

Even if Teresa were still alive now,

she'd probably look the same, as well.

You think Teresa died because of you, right?

In a sense, that is true.

Because of meeting you and traveling around,

Teresa's abilities as a warrior declined,

and she was killed by Priscilla as a result.

That is a fact.

But...

I think Teresa was happy...

...during the time she spent with you,

regardless of how short that period was...

Teresa was always in her own league.

She was too strong, too proud,

and because of that, people around her admired her...

...and were scared of her at the same time.

Yet, you loved her,

and she accepted that.

To Teresa, the time she spent with you...

...was filled with peace...

...and more importantly, seemed very human.

She was very happy.

Good.

You can grasp your own limits now.

Don't forget that feeling.

How...

How much has...

...my flash sword approached yours?

The flash sword requires a very strong mentality.

The most important thing is to remain calm at all times.

I thought the traits would fit you,

but I was wrong.

You are always burning a fire inside of your heart.

The flash sword doesn't fit people like that.

The second you use it, your mind will be dragged towards your arm.

The truth is, your flash sword won't even last one minute.

Both your strength and speed are barely one-tenth of mine.

In other words, it's a useless technique for you.

However, it is progress for you.

Allow me to give you my praise.

Stand.

What was that for...

Because your wounds have closed already.

So, sorry, but I had carve out a new section.

Irene, you-

Consider it my farewell gift.

Take it.

W-What are you talking about?

That's crazy!

Rejoin that arm already,

else it'll be too late!

With that arm, you'll be able to use the flash sword better.

I thought you would've needed that.

But, Irene-

Having distanced myself from combat,

that arm has become unnecessary and useless to me.

Since long ago, I have had no need for it.

But-

Take it,

so that you may survive,

for that would serve as a proof that Teresa lived.

When all is over,

I will come and return this to you.

So, you must live until then.

I will wait without any expectations.

Don't worry; I don't die easily.

Live on, Clare.

I felt the presence of another one.

Is she not here anymore?

No.

She set out a while ago.

Well, no matter.

The person I was looking for was you.

It was hard to find you since you hid your Yoki for a very long time,

but using your flash sword proved to be your mistake.

Thanks to that, your Yoki flows out normally like other warriors.

May I ask for your name?

Rafaela.

I am Number Five in the organization.

What's with that wound?

Was it a wound you got before you became half-human, half-Yoma?

Is there a reason why I should tell someone who's going to die soon?

Traitor Irene,

under the orders of the organization, I am here to take your life.

I heard you had just one arm, but looks like you have lost both now.

Sorry, it seems like you ran out of luck.

No, I'd only have a chance with both arms, probably.

Why are you stuck at Number Five despite being that strong?

Sorry, there's no reason to answer that either.

Irene?

Something in my right arm just...

What was that?

Something monstrous is... coming...

My, hello there.

What a coincidence.

I can't believe I'd meet you here.

Hey... what's with that right arm?

I recall I minced that right arm of yours.

Ophelia...

Oh, come on.

Just because we haven't seen each other for a while, you've already forgotten about me?

That hurts.

You're pretty cruel, aren't ya?

...An Awakened One...

Huh?

What? What?

Where's the Awakened Being?

Gosh! There ain't any Awakened Beings!
