Hitori No Shita - The Outcast (一人之下)

We don't mean you any harm.

We just want you to meet our chairman.

That's all.

Yeah, that's it.

Huh... Man, there are a lot of people who want to meet me lately.

Halt. He will not go to you.

Who are you?

We Deliver Anywhere Express Delivery

Jo San, because you guys stopped Zensei,

they spread the rumor that Chou Soran was the heir to the kitaigen style.

Does that mean there will be people after him, other than Zensei?

How can you be so certain?

After hearing about the kitaigen style,

I researched Chou Shakurin on my own.

Sadly, I wasn't able to get any information.

Most likely, "Chou Shakurin" was an alias.

That's why nothing came up.

However, after seeing Chou Soran's powers myself, I'm certain...

Chou Soran-kun, you mustn't go with them.

You will be coming with us.

Those were the orders my master gave me.

What? Why are you all deciding that for me?

No fair! You're trying to steal him from us?

Huh?

Unbelievable! Wait your turn!

Hush. He's not a normal outsider.

This is not good.

I will have to ask you two to leave.

Soran-kun, come over here.

Are you guys stupid?!

Nothing you're saying even makes sense.

I don't know who the hell you guys are,

but I'm going home to sleep.

Just try and stop me!

Well, I didn't expect you to come along peacefully.

I'll take you with me by force if I must.

If you think you can, just try it!

Tenchi Genshou, Banki Kongen.

You still don't get it, Jo San?

The kinkou that Chou Shakurin taught him isn't a kitaigen style technique.

It's a Kousei Ryuukosan Shouitsuha Tenshifu technique.

It's called Kinkouju.

By mastering all calamity, we shall show our divine power.

I-It can't be!

That's why the Tenshifu will be on the move immediately.

The Tenshifu of Ryuukosan?

I'm sure there's some deep connection,

so they'll probably try to acquire him.

Tenshifu, eh... They won't be easy to deal with.

He's apparently like some treasure right now.

I'm sure everyone would like to get their hands on him.

It appears the Tengekai is on the move, as well.

Are you the one who's emitting all the bloodlust out here?

It's been a while, Fuu Houhou.

Who are you?

Huh? You don't remember me?

Who are you?

I really hate how creepy you are!

But whatever.

That's not what I came to talk about, so listen up!

We, the Tengekai, will be taking Chou Soran.

Tell that to Jo San.

'Kay.

"'Kay"? Do you understand what I just said?

Hey, wait a minute!

Listen to me very carefully.

All of the outsider-related events that happen in the city

from here on will be supervised by us.

Which means Express Delivery is obsolete.

So make sure you don't get involved in this matter anymore.

And don't show yourself in front of me ever again.

Hey! Wait! Are you listening?

I was stupid.

I should have known trying to explain something to you would be pointless.

I guess I'll just have to make you learn physically!

You're not getting away!

What are you doing?

You still can't remember?

Oh, now I remember.

You're the little girl from Tengekai.

So you finally remember!

I'm Fuu Saen from the Tengekai.

And don't you forget it.

Yeah, that's right. Fuu Saen.

I guess I did fight you before.

But as for what's going on with Chou Soran now, I don't care.

It doesn't matter to me if he joins Express Delivery, the Tengekai, or Zensei.

As long he remains my servant, that's fine.

Oh? So Chou Soran is someone special to you?

I would have never imagined a cold-hearted person like you could have one.

Then when he becomes one of us,

I'll never let you see him again.

Do you

want to die?

That ki...

He's...

That should be enough.

Reigyoku-sama.

We've assessed his powers.

It appears that he can indeed use Kinkouju.

He is, without a doubt, connected to the Tenshifu.

Well done, you two. You may stand down now.

I shall deal with him next.

Reigyoku-sama, there's no need for that.

We can handle him ourselves.

Stand down.

Reigyoku-sama...

Seriously, what the hell?

I don't even care to know who you guys are. Do whatever you want!

I'm sure you're just going to come after me by force anyway.

Then hurry up and just do it!

Stop your barking if that's all the strength you have.

Don't get high-and-mighty with me!

Wh-What is this kinkou?

It's so hard!

One hit...

He broke through my kinkou with just one hit?!

That's impossible!

Reigyoku-sama, don't you think that's a bit much?

Remember what the master told us.

You're not bad.

Let's continue.

Hey, don't stand up.

Don't try anything more.

Shut up!

I'm not going to let you get away with this!

Take this!

You won't get away with it!

I won't let you, damn it!

Damn it!

Whoa, he's lost it. Scary.

You won't get away with this!

I won't allow it, you shitheads! I won't let any of you get away with this!

That's enough, Chou Soran.

I won't stop until I kick all of your asses!

Outsiders often test each other's strength.

There's no point in dying over that.

Damn it!

But where did this come from so suddenly?

Damn it! Damn it!

Do you get it now, Jo San?

There's no doubt that Chou Soran's grandfather, Chou Shakurin,

used to be a part of the Tenshifu.

But there are no records stating that someone like Chou Shakurin

was ever in the Tenshifu.

The Tenshifu are purposely hiding everything about Shakurin.

Why would they have to do that?

I now understand that Chou Shakurin was a suspicious character,

but why is that a reason to obsess over Chou Soran?

In regards to that...

Yesterday, Tenshifu made a declaration.

This is exactly why I want to get my hands on Chou Soran, no matter what.

I'm guessing that Tenshifu is thinking the exact same thing as I am.

You risk your life, yet this is all you can do.

I don't know how you stole the Kinkouju,

but I will not allow you to desecrate the name of the

Tenshifu with that lowly strength.

We're going back to Ryuukosan.

Please wait.

Our master's orders were to take him back to Tenshifu.

There's no need. This was enough.

He is not worthy to go.

Hold it! We're not done yet!

What?

Who said you could leave?

I can do this all day!

Chou Soran, do not stand back up!

If you just stay down, Reigyoku-sama will do no more.

Whoa, he stood up again.

Does he not value his life?

I'm so done with this.

I've kept my power hidden this whole time, just like Gramps told me.
