So the smelting is already completed.

All systems online, Murakumo activating.

Ragna!

Come here to kill me again, silly?

Killing's for people. You get broken.

Oh, Ragna I love it when you talk dirty.

Come here. Let's play.

Dammit!

Ahhh!

Son of a--!

You're insane.

Oh, Ragna!

Now we'll be together. Always.

How many times are you gonna

let that girl shish kabob ya, Ragna?

It's always the same.

We've run the scene to death, and again, the curtain falls.

Sleep well, Ragna the Bloodedge.

Our pantomime will continue.

This is the N.O.L. Ahkitsu Branch!

We're under attack!

It's the Grim Reaper!

He hit us out of nowhere!

We've taken heavy casualties! If we don't get backup--

There's plenty of seithr down here,

that's for damn sure.

Dammit!

Underfoot again. Like dirt.

But dirt, I'm sure, has better manners.

Shut it!

My!

What the hell? Why're you griefing me, Rabbit?

Don't be mean, Princess. I'm a bat, not a baseball!

Your self-control is laudable.

Brute that you are, I feared you might

have fallen prey to that arm of yours.

Imagine my surprise.

I'm impressed. You're a good boy, Ragna.

Hey! I'm not some mutt, y'know!

Kagutsuchi awaits you.

Huh?

Kagutsuchi?

Why the hell would I waste my time with a place like that?

Course, the town's got a Cauldron I need to destroy.

Hm?

Guess I'll give it a look.

Well if it ain't Little Miss Blood Breath.

You spend your time eavesdropping on a lady?

Uh huh. When it comes to time,

I have got a crap ton. I'm not gonna lie,

all this repeating makes planning

ahead a real pain in the ass.

You would be wise to do naught but watch.

Yeah, I bet you're right, huh.

Unfortunately...

I have way too many irons in

the ol' fire to call it a day now!

Excuse me, sir.

Second Lieutenant Noel Vermillion.

Come in.

Major Kisaragi, I bring this.

The dispatch bears an ars magus seal.

It's classified.

It's him.

Finally, Ragna the Bloodedge.

Major, sir. What is it?

Thirteenth, huh?

Move.

A lotta people here.

Huh?

Om noms.

Tao needs om noms!

Taokaka Punch!

Meow-ch!

Me... ow...

Of course. Kaka Clan.

Huh?

You don't have to beat Tao up, mister.

Just let her waste away to nothin'.

Thanks for all the food!

You're a good guy, treating Tao

to all these tasty things!

I totally got hustled, didn't I?

Nope! You Tao-tally got hustled!

Oh, by the way Good Guy,

do you know where Rawrgna the

Something, Something likes to hang out?

Huh?

I think you're talking ab--

If Tao uses her best mew-ves

on Rawrgna and catches him, she'll get a bunch of money!

More than anyone ever!

Wait, she's a bounty hunter?

They're even giving out posters of Rawrgna!

Look!

That's not what I look like!

If you see that face, tell Tao right away!

You're a good guy, Good Guy, so Tao will buy you om noms

with the reward meow-ney!

Cross my heart!

Even if I tell her my name,

I don't think she's gonna put two and two together.

No more...

Tao surrenders!

Now that the belly is full,

it's time to catnap for a while!

Sleepy, huh?

You're meow-bsolutely right, Good Guy!

Tao's gonna flop down in a patch of sun

and catch some Zs! Meow!

Hey, what's the matter?

It's nothing.

Huh?

But there's still a bunch of food in the bowl!

Tao calls dibs! It's all me-ine!

Master... Check it out.

Listen up, kid.

The power of the Azure don't belong to nobody.

Don't forget. Ever.

I won't forget. Master.

Your eyes are filled with hatred.

With loved ones slain and kin stolen away,

I daresay such malice is your right.

But the world will turn, as always it has.

No matter how you may rail against it.

So this is it. The 13th Hierarchical City. Kagutsuchi.

Somebody looks ready to buy some souvenirs.

"Noel Vermillion," wasn't it?

Sorry, Captain Hazama! Please forgive me!

I suppose I could. If you stop calling me Captain.

I come from the Intelligence Department, after all.

We're casual.

Yes sir! Uh... I mean...

Just call me... Mister Hazama.

All right, then! Let's review the basics.

This whole mess with Major Kisaragi

is being handled with the

highest level of discretion, of course.

I mean, if folks find out that the

Hero of Ikaruga has gone rogue,

the N.O.L.'s gonna take one on the chin

in the court of public opinion.

So, if you encounter the Major,

bag him and bring him into headquarters

with a minimum of fuss.

Right!

Most secretaries would give

their eye teeth to beat up their boss.

Do bear in mind, a Level D alert is

currently in effect here in the fair city of Kagutsuchi.

It's because Ragna the Bloodedge

has been spotted here in town, right, sir?

He's been hitting N.O.L. branches, one by one.

Right. Have your superiors told you anything

about this Ragna chap?

Oh, uh... They said to observe him only,
