Katana Maidens: Toji no Miko (刀使ノ巫女)

Osafune Girls' School

Let's turn this up a bit.

Understood.

It's raised.

This is clearly different from erosion by noro.

I can't believe the fusion of aradama and the human body has progressed this far.

President, urgent news!

I will listen to everything you have to say.

Please do not involve the students or other staff.

They really took it this far.

The police have now charged into Minoseki Academy.

I repeat, the police have charged into Minoseki Academy.

Katana Maidens

Episode 10 Resolve for Tomorrow

Suspected of being involved with large-scale terrorist activities,

their respective prefectures' police have raided

Osafune Girls' School and Minoseki Academy of the five schools.

According to the authorities,

it appears that both schools had organized combat units consisting of Toji,

and were preparing to commit acts of terrorism.

Police have arrested several school officials and are currently

investigating the situation.

Is the school all right? They told us not to leave the dorms What about Kanami and Mai? They haven't come back yet Who is the Origami family member?

Furthermore, the police are pursuing a woman who is a member of the Origami family

as a material witness who seems to be involuntarily involved in this case.

So Osafune and Minoseki have been...

Heijou has also apparently been blockaded by the police.

What about our president?

I wonder what happened to Takako-san and the others?

The Origami family has stepped up its surveillance of Mokusa members

currently in hiding, and now they're pinned down.

We've been backed into a corner.

They've probably been arranging this for a while.

How did they know about the village?

There aren't any traces of any traitors within Mokusa,

and we've been continuing to erase information on that village

in real time from maps, the internet, and satellites.

Rather than them knowing about it, they must've found it somehow.

Our current location will probably be leaked to them, too.

The great aradama seems to be gaining power.

The problem is what they're going to do next,

now that most of their opponents are gone.

They're not going to do something like 20 years ago, are they?

Would they just leave it at that?

The Origami family has collected more noro than was concentrated back then.

It's certainly a stalemate.

We have no options left.

Are we still going to head to Osafune as planned?

Wouldn't it be better to escape overseas?

We have seized all those related to Mokusa.

This will put an end to things for now.

It's hard to believe that the organization that troubled us so much

was devastated almost overnight.

They were disgustingly and brilliantly skilled.

Apparently the raid squad members

who went to the location had weapons to counteract a Toji's utsushi.

I can't believe they actually developed weapons to use against Toji.

Even if it was to counteract Mokusa, they aren't showing the slightest mercy.

I wonder if Yukari-sama has been planning all of this ever since the incident

with Juujou Hiyori at the tournament?

It feels like it might have been even before that.

Perhaps our failure was one of the catalysts, too.

When will Yume be back?

As soon as control is handed over to the Toji from Ayanokouji.

She destroyed Mokusa's base all by herself?

I heard there were quite a few skilled Toji there as well.

Where's Yukari-sama?

Holding service at the shrine.

She's been shut up in there this whole time.

We stripped the Toji from Osafune, Minoseki, and Heijou of their right

to wear a sword and disarmed them.

Also, the Japan Coast Guard is still searching for Origami Akane—

Weak!

Huh?

Pressure the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force to help with the search.

But, ma'am...

Do you have any idea how much we've lent them so far?

Yes, ma'am! Please excuse me!

Sayaka...

This is the only place where you belong.

Mai?

I... want to fight.

That was just too horrible.

Mai-chan...

Juujou-san, I've been thinking all this time about how you said

that I don't have a reason to fight.

And about what I want to do.

I came here because I wanted to catch up with Kanami-chan,

and I couldn't leave Sayaka-chan on her own.

But that was it.

I didn't really have any particular feelings

about Yukari-sama or how things would turn out.

Mai...

But when I saw Satomi-san, Takako-san, and all the others

who looked after us in Mokusa fighting,

I thought about things again.

I didn't want to see the people around me get hurt ever again.

I might not be able to save everyone on my own,

but I at least want to save those around me.

That's my reason for fighting!

Me, too.

Sayaka-chan...

That's all I can do.

I've decided to avenge everyone from the village.

There's no way I can stay out of this.

Wait a minute!

We're the only Toji left.

What are we supposed to do about this?

Get us off this ship.

We will go make sure Takako-san and the others are safe.

And then we'll return to Kamakura.

The enemy isn't alone.

There will be countless other hurdles before you reach the great aradama.

Juujou-san slipped through those hurdles and managed to strike Yukari-sama.

If that flat-chested girl can do it, then it shouldn't be impossible for us.

Good grief...

Okay, then.

The five of you alone aren't reliable, so I'll go with you, too.

Hiyori-chan, let's all go together!

Are you sure?

Yes!

Yep.

Thank you.

That was...

Someone's stomach, right?

Was it you, Hiyoyon?

No!

It was me...

We did forget to eat lunch, didn't we?

We can't fight on an empty stomach!

We have lots of submarine emergency rations!

They're not very good, though.

Wait... what?

What?

What?!

Wh-What is this?

What?

What's going on?

This is...

What on earth is this?

What's wrong?
