Katana Maidens: Toji no Miko (刀使ノ巫女)

Princess Tagitsu escaped to the netherworld,

detached a part of herself, and launched it high into the sky.

Aradama rained down all over the Kanto region.

After this incident, known as the Kamakura Special Hazardous Waste Leakage Problem,

aradama have begun to appear more frequently in the Kanto region.

The aradama that was led to Daiba is currently

heading toward the commercial district.

Distance from deployed unit is 2,000.

Evacuation along the predicted path of the target objective

approaching the vicinity of Omiya has been completed.

Aradama is moving in on Lake Sayama. What are your orders?

Move the 5th Platoon to the west bank of Lake Sayama and have them lie in wait.

Where are the reinforcements for the bay area?

Two Toji with S Equipment are hurrying to the location.

After the volley, we rush it.

Match your timing!

If we do it like we did in training, we can succeed!

Here it comes!

Draw your swords!

Utsushi!

Okay, rush attack!

Sayaka-chan!

I'm Etou Kanami, here to reinforce you.

I'm Itomi Sayaka.

We are grateful for your support.

We can handle the rest.

Right, please do.

E-Excuse me...

You both were at the event four months ago?

Yes, that's right!

I knew it!

Are you from Ayanokouji?

Yes! I've been temporarily transferred to work with the special task force!

I'm Uchizato Ayumu, a first-year student at Ayanokouji's middle school!

Ayumu-chan.

I-I'm also staying at the headquarters in Kamakura!

I've seen you both in the dorms so many times!

Uchizato, we're in the middle of a mission.

Y-Yes, ma'am!

We'll see you later, then, at the dorm!

Okay!

You look happy, Kanami.

What is it, Sayaka-chan?

Episode 13 Hero of the Next Generation

What do you think about how uneasy the citizens are

and the harm they have suffered?

Witness Origami?

Miss Origami Akane's Witness Hearing Live

Kamakura Special Hazardous Waste Leakage Problem

Due to a part of the special forces, we were able

to avoid another situation like the disaster of twenty years ago.

We recognize that it was the best means

we could manage as a member of the Administration.

Large serving of rice, please!

But as a result leakage of a massive amount

Rice! Rice!

of special hazardous waste occurred.

Thank you for the food!

Thank you for the food.

That's all you're having, Sayaka-chan?

Yeah.

That won't do. You're still growing! You have to eat more.

I don't really like this.

You shouldn't be a picky eater.

Besides, the school meals here are pretty good.

I'd rather have Mai's treats.

Well, Mai-chan's treats are definitely good.

When is Mai coming?

She should be here next week.

Excuse me.

Yanase-san!

The citizens would like to know what happened at the Administration!

I've brought the list of those who will be temporarily transferred

to Kamakura next week.

We want an explanation from the organization's former head,

Good work.

Miss Origami Yukari.

Akane-sama's subpoena?

Witness Origami.

The former head is currently recuperating.

Miss Origami Akane's Witness Hearing Regarding the Kamakura Special Hazardous Waste Leakage Problem

Do you really expect the citizens to believe tha—

Right now, the Sword Administration is fair game.

Whether we call it a new regime or Mokusa, the world only sees the same thing.

The careless organization that let

a massive amount of noro leak out and hurt the land.

I believe it is the truth.

Perhaps, but it is still hard to watch them blame you and Akane-sama

Special Religious Military Unit Minoseki Academy Branch Temporary Transfer List

when you risked your lives protecting people.

Oh, Yanase-san, you're transferring next week too, aren't you?

Yes, it's my third time.

Kanami-chan has basically been over there this whole time,

but she's been working really hard to be like her mother the past four months.

Etou-san does have an impressive mission success rate.

Sana—

Director Maniwa insisted on keeping her close at hand.

Another thing she's inherited from her mother, I guess.

You were a classmate of Kanami-chan's mother, weren't you?

Yes, that's right.

She truly was a strong Toji.

Honestly, I always admired her.

Minato-san, you mean?

Yes.

Kind of like how you feel about Etou-san,

I believe.

That's why I was very happy

when the sword in Minoseki's care, Chidori, chose Etou-san.

Yes.

President Gojou?

It appears that someone took care of this house while I was away.

A house has to be taken care of by people,

or it will become rundown.

Juujou Kagari

I'm sure Akane-sama took that into consideration.

Say, Hiyori-chan, are you uncertain about your decision to quit being a Toji?

Did you talk to Iwakura-san?

Sanae-chan seemed rather worried about something,

so I made her tell me.

Don't blame her.

Juujou Kagari

Twenty years ago, my mother failed to destroy Princess Tagitsu.

It's probably a little late to be telling you this now, but...

Even so, I'm one of the parties involved.

Princess Tagitsu, who possessed Origami Yukari,

used the Toji to gather up noro and increase her power.

Aware of this,

my mother agonized over it, as though it were all her fault...

Until the day she left this world.

I swore that I would finish what my mother left behind.

That I would destroy Origami Yukari.

I did not know that.

You really fought hard by yourself, didn't you?

No, I wasn't by myself.

I had the help of many others.

I just didn't realize it.

And I had your help with Kogarasumaru.

I wasn't supposed to, but I used a bit of my authority secretly.

I was just happy that Kagari-chan's daughter

was chosen by Kogarasumaru.

Thanks to that, I was able to fulfill my mother's long-cherished desire.

Princess Tagitsu won't be reappearing in this world for the time being, at least.

And this time, you all came out safe and sound.

That is a remarkable achievement compared to twenty years ago.

But you're right.

Your fight has come to an end.

So you're thinking of retiring?

I thought I would wait until I destroy Princess Tagitsu herself,

but—

Your heart just isn't in it, is it?

I think that's all right, too.

You've done more than your fair share of fighting.

Think it over a bit more, and the answer will come to you.

Understood.

Actually...

Well, I probably shouldn't mention this...

What is it?

Hey, Sayaka-chan, I have a bit of a favor to ask you.

What is it?

I was wondering if you would spar with me before we take a bath.

Sure.

Really? Yes!

Are you sure you want me?

Why not? Of course I do!

Oh, welcome back, Kaoru-chan.

Good work. You were on an expedition, right?

Civil servants don't have basic labor rights.

Moreover, those involved with the police and firefighters like us

don't even have the privilege of the three primary rights of labor,

which are the right to organize, the right to collective bargaining, and the right to dispute.

That damn power-hungry boss...

You mean Director Maniwa?

Who cares if she's director?! Such crap!

East to West, totally unfair labor practices!

That inhuman meathead of a boss!

And here I am, trying to be nice, you brat.

Director!

This is for you. Some cake.

Cake!

You're going to the time out room.

Lemme go, you tyrant!

Come on, walk.

Oppressor!

Dang it, why just me?!

What about Ellen?
