Death Carries a Cane (Passi di danza su una lama di rasoio)

Now, then... Enough waiting.

The farce is over.

Bey, Malleus,

Leonhart, Babylon,

and Tubal Cain.

Dawn will soon come.

When it does, the war will begin.

Let it drive you into the depths of madness.

As it stands, two swastikas have opened.

Both lack one worthy of being sacrificed to Lord Heydrich.

The first will be Lady Kircheisen.

The second will be Spinne.

None but these two

are worthy of the Golden Blessing.

But six remain,

and there are six of us.

Thus, if we do not get greedy, everything will work out.

Lord Heydrich wants blood.

He has not changed a bit since the old days.

Everyone, keep that in mind,

when acting as his fangs and claws.

First, I shall permit five,

or three more than now,

to be opened.

However, as much as possible, avoid choosing the same day.

A war is preferable to a massacre.

Give us victory.

Fujii-kun...

But will Lord Heydrich

be willing to simply wait for us?

I do not expect that he will...

Samiel, you are to open the fifth.

You must force it, so feel free to get rough.

Then play with them for a bit.

Pound them into shape.

Jawohl, Mein Herr.

Look at this.

The bridge is completely destroyed.

Promise

We still don't know the cause,

but we have multiple reports of a giant.

Some suspect the giant to be

some kind of gas-induced hallucination.

Great Suwahara Bridge Destroyed Giant Appears?!

Suwahara has already been

plagued by a series of brutal murders.

What's going on?

This isn't the time to go to school!

Ren isn't here, either.

This is suspicious!

I've decided!

Hi!

Hi?

Bang.

I have your woman!! Give me a call

Hi! Hello?

Honjou, what are you doing?

Ren-kun, you're safe! I'm glad.

Listen, what are you...

Oh, Kasumi-chan's right here.

Want to talk to her?

You dummy!

Dummy! Dummy! Dummy! Dummy!

Do you know how worried I was?!

Shut up, shut up.

Calm down, korpokkur.

Who are you calling a korpokkur?!

Shirou, don't tell me

Hear that?

you've been spending all this time, messing around here?!

She's fine. Shirou, as well.

I see.

Fine, then.

I was initially concerned, but it saves me some trouble.

I can't have her going to school right now.

It appears she wasn't planning to go, anyway.

Either way, I guess this isn't a good time for her to go.

Explain what's going on here!

So, Ren-kun,

are you more interested in talking to us?

Yeah.

You have information, right?

I want it.

But first...

I know.

Yo, Ren. You safe?

Well, what's up?

You know what!

Don't tell Kasumi a thing!

About our fight or anything else!

Roger. I guess you'll owe me one.

Hey, is that Ren?

Let me talk to him.

You're so annoying!

Here, come this way.

Let's hear what you have to say.

Did you get any further with Ren?

Further how?

What, you'll stay a virgin forever.

Hopeless...

Shut up!

Anyway, back to our discussion.

I see. That's rough...

But this senpai? Was leaving her okay?

No.

But the priest said...

I doubt you trust me,

but I would like to say this.

I have no intention of hurting Theresia.

You trust him.

No way.

But he didn't seem to be lying, outright.

It seems pretty clear they know each other.

If you'd tried to take her, you might have ended up fighting all of them.

Oh, well.

You couldn't do that while protecting them.

More than anything, you lack information.

That's where you come in, Honjou.

The eight places they say they've set up in town...

You know what they are, right?

I do.

Suwahara City's always had a bunch of weird companies.

If you include places under their influence,

it's basically everywhere.

Like you heard,

this whole town may have been made for their purposes.

My grandpa said the same thing.

Your grandpa?

That's right.

Have you forgotten the name of the hospital you and Shirou stayed at?

My parents run it.

Honjou General Hospital

The Honjou General Hospital.

You're actually rich, and you act like that?

Act like what?

Anyway, because of my family, I know

a lot about shady stuff in this city.

And these things you called swastikas...

There are eight, right?

Yeah. They said two have already opened.

Any idea where?

Yes.

Probably the park

and the museum.

Then, at least half of the remaining six are simple.

My hospital.

The school.

The church.

You figured those out yourself, didn't you?

For the hospital, it was only after what you said, but yes.

I don't know the other three, though.

Tell me, Honjou.

The amusement park.

The Tower.

Civic Hall.

That makes eight.

In these eight places, their influence is especially strong.

Excluding the church, all are places where many people gather.

There will be no shortage of sacrifices.

What will you do?

You can't protect all six simultaneously.

I'll go to the school.

It's selfish, but that's the most important place to me.

Also, Sakurai and Rusalka were there.

I can't ignore them.

Okay.

I thought you'd say that.

The bridge was destroyed, and videos of that giant are on the Internet.
