I will keep firing my flames at you
Follow me, Shirayuki.
I'll take you to a place more suited for you.
The EU.
Shirayuki!
No, run-
Damn it!
Kin-chan!
N-No, stop!
What are you doing?!
Shirayuki!
Are you really in a position to worry about others?
You're pathetic.
Well, you served your purpose, considering you're stupid Kinji.
Durandal, for the crime of attempting to kidnap a minor...
I arrest you!

I've investigated how you work, Durandal.
When faced with multiple enemies, you split them up and take care of them one by one.
That's why I removed myself from Shirayuki's guard...
...in order to lure you out.
Aria, you...
Butei Law Article, section two.
"You must fulfill your client's contract."
I'll never abandon my missions!
Well, it's true that you pissed me off back then.
You think you've won?
W-Water?!
Shirayuki!
Shirayuki.
Kin-chan, I'm sorry.
He said that he'll blow up Academy Island and kill you if I didn't keep this a secret from everyone.
When was this?
Yesterday, I received a text when you went to buy me fireworks.
I had no choice but to obey...
It's fine, don't cry now.
Yeah.
Aria, I'm sorry.
Even though I did so many horrible things to you...
I-I'm only protecting you because of the contract.
Durandal's the one I'm after!
So you don't have to thank me.
Shirayuki, where did Durandal go?
Um...
After he bound me up, I heard the sound of the ceiling hatch being opened...
So the floor above us.
Aria, you go after him first.
I read this from a previous report of Riko's.
You can't swim, right?
N-No! All I need is a float!
We don't have that here.
Just go!
But I can't just run away and leave you both behind...
I never said you'd be running away!
Go up there and snag the keys from him.
Your probability of success is much higher than mine.
B-But...
Go! Time is of the essence!
Okay.
Wait for me! I'll definitely be back with the keys!
It took me that long to pick one lock...
That's the best my unlocking skills can do.
I won't make it.
Kin-chan.
Just go.
I don't want to put you in danger.
Don't be ridiculous!
Miko of the Hotogi are sheltered.
It is our fate to offer and throw away our body and soul for someone's sake.
So...
What are you saying?!
I can't just leave you behind!
It's fine.
I'm sure nobody will cry for me even if I die.
The teachers praise me to the skies, but that's not because of who I am.
They simply appreciate my powers as a Miko of the Hotogi.
Aria'll definitely be back with the keys, so don't give up!
Take a deep breath.
Listen to what your bodyguard says!
I hereby nullify the contract.
Kin-chan, live.
Shirayuki!
Don't be ridiculous!
In my current state, I know the internal structure of the locks like the back of my hand through the minute sensations in my fingertips.
Kin-chan.
You just said that you nullified my contract as a bodyguard.
Regardless of the contract, I'll protect you.
I want to protect you no matter what because you're Shirayuki.
Okay?
Yeah.
Alright, hurry.
Shirayuki, where are you?!
Shirayuki!
Shirayuki, are you okay?
Kin-chan, I gulped some water...
Shirayuki!
Kinji!
You're okay!
Wait, Aria!
Piano wire.
To be precise, twist nano kevlar wire.
It's Durandal's trap.
That's really well spotted.
I can't allow a kind girl who cares for me to get hurt.
Kinji, could it be that...
What is it, Aria?
A-Anyway, we're protecting Shirayuki!
Where is she? Hmm?
Over there.
Shirayuki, you okay?
Thank you, Aria.
You came too, Kin-chan.
Huh? Something's wrong.
Kin-chan, what's the matter?
Hey, Shirayuki.
Are your lips okay?
Yeah, it's nothing serious.
Aria, run!
Kinji, what's the meaning of this?!
Shirayuki.
Aria, she isn't Shirayuki.
If that was the real Shirayuki, there's no way she'd remain so calm when I asked about her lips.
Aria!
You're Durandal, aren't you?
Don't call me by that name.
I don't like the name others have given me.
Shut up!
107 years of Mama's sentence for false charges are yours!
I'll definitely catch you and have you atone for them!
Just as Lupin the 4th said, you're rather ferocious, Aria.
Lupin the 4th?
So she's Riko's ally.
You're just like my great ancestor.
Beautiful and adorable on the outside, but courageous on the inside.
Her name is Jeanne d'Arc.
Lies!
Jeanne d'Arc was burned at the stake before she turned 20!
She couldn't have had descendants!
That was a fake.
We are a line of tacticians.
We've always manipulated history from the shadows, passing down our pride and intellect.
I am Jeanne d'Arc the 30th!
Follow me, Aria.
Lupin the 4th has forsaken you, but I'll have you.
Or would you rather die?
Tohyama.
I'll freeze Aria if you make a move.
Kinji, just shoot!
Maybe I'll freeze that blabbering tongue of yours.
Aria!
What?!
Durandal!
I won't allow you to hurt my friends any more!
Durandal, I won't allow you to hurt my friends any more!
Shirayuki!
Kin-chan, Aria, sorry I took so long.
You did well, as I knew you would.
Well, Durandal?
It's three against one.
You're at a disadvantage!
None of you know what I really look like.
In other words, this is just a show starter.
Enough talk! Show yourself!
Aria, give me your hands.
This'll sting a little.
You're fine now.
Thanks, Shirayuki.
This ice is strong, though.
Even though I healed it with my powers, it'll still take some time to fully recover.
So Kin-chan, protect Aria.
I'll defeat the enemy alone.
But Shirayuki...
I'll be fine.
Trust me, Kin-chan.
Shirayuki...
How touching...
...but foolish.
You think you can defeat me alone?
Jeanne, please stop.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
Even if it's you.
Don't make me laugh.
You, a diamond in the rough, can't possibly hurt me, polished through EU's training.
Furthermore, you won't betray the Hotogi.
That is, if you know what I mean by that.
That would be the normal me up until now.
But I am now someone who would break any restrictions of the Hotogi just to be with one person.
What?
Kin-chan.
Don't look at me from now on.
I will now use the Hotogi forbidden arts.
But I'm sure you'll think that I'm scary if you see this.
You'll think it's impossible.
You'll hate me...
Shirayuki.
Shirayuki, don't worry.
Only one thing is impossible.
I could never hate you.
That's impossible.
I'll be right back.
Jeanne, I can no longer let you escape.
This is because you are about to witness the forbidden arts Miko of the Hotogi hide within them.
We've been passing down our ancestor's power all this time.
For two thousand years...
Flames.
"Shirayuki" is simply a false name to hide my true one.
My real name is "Scarlet Miko".
Namely... Himiko!
It's useless to resist.
There is nothing my Irokaneayame cannot cut!
That's what I should be saying!
There is nothing my Durandal won't cut!
Shirayuki.
Kinji.
I'm fine now.
I'll assist Shirayuki.
This battle won't last long.
Yeah.
Stealth depletes a lot of brain power each time it is used.
Yes.
That is why we will strike the moment they run out of steam.
Do you believe in me?
I try so hard to convince you, but why?
Why won't you believe me?!
I was a fool that day.
Please forgive me.
I swear that I'll believe in you forever.
F-Forever?!
Even if nobody else in this world believes in you,
I'll be your ally for the rest of my life.
Will you believe in me too?
Y-Yeah.
Alright.
Well, I'm counting on you, Aria.
Yeah.
Throw down your sword, Jeanne.
You've lost.
You're a naïve woman.
You focused on my sword instead of my body.
Not yet, Kinji.
Shirayuki is probably saving energy for one final attack.
We'll go after my three seconds.
Okay.
Shirayuki, I'll show you.
Frozen Flower of Orleans...
Become silver ice and scatter!
Now!
You're just a Butei!
Drop your weapon!
You should just be a good girl.
It's all over, little miss.
Not yet.
Butei Law Article, section nine.
"Butei cannot kill other people."
But I'm different!
Hotogi Secret Art: Double Scarlet God of the Hotogi!
My... holy sword...
Durandal, you're under arrest.
Shirayuki, you okay?
Kin-chan, was I scary?
Just then, I-I was so...
Not at all.
Those flames were really powerful and pretty.
Just like those exploding fireworks we used to watch together. Right?
Kin-chan...
Don't just disappear on me anymore.
The opening ceremony for the 5th International Butei Competition, Adseard, will now begin.
After that, Masters took Jeanne with them, and a momentary peace settled in.
Hotogi-san!
Go, go, let's go!
Let's go, Butei!
No, no. I'll enter Hysteria again.
Tokyo Butei High School Third Male Dormitory
We had one vacancy in the cheerleading team.
So I convinced Shirayuki by saying...
"Do something about it as the student council president".
I see.
Well, thanks to her, all the practicing didn't go to waste.
Thank you, Shirayuki.
Y-Yeah.
Um... I have something to say to both of you too.
Hmm? What?
A while ago, when you were sick, Kin-chan...
I told a lie.
A lie?
I wasn't the one who bought the medicine you took.
Aria, you did it, right?
So it was Aria?
O-Oh, that!
I'm a bad girl, aren't I?
But I don't want to stay as one, so...
I'm sorry!
I-It's fine.
This subject's over.
More importantly, Shirayuki.
Become my slave too!
Up until now, I've always thought I could face any enemy if I had just one partner.
But we were able to win this time because the three of us worked together.
That's why you should also...
I mean, become my ally!
Oh? Aria's actually making allies?
B-But... slave, huh?
I don't mind being Kin-chan's slave...
Look, this is a duplicate keycard to Kinji's room.
Feel free to come in from now on.
Thank you, Aria!
This duplicate keycard is a sign of Kin-chan's love!
You know...
But as fellow slaves, stuff like what happened the other day...
Perverted stuff is banned!
It'll hurt the morale of the team...
Aria, so you intend to steal ahead.
I'll tell you this.
I too... I too...
I kissed Kin-chan too!
W-What's that?!
We're even now! Even!
So I just have to take one step forward!
Kinji! You kissed your client?!
You disgraceful Butei!
Well, about that...
No, don't shoot!
Kinji, you idiot!

In these camelia eyes?
Looks like that's all settled.
She's a persistent enemy, that Durandal.
Speaking of persistent, so is Shirayuki!
She lunges at me straight away.
It was a tough battle.
I've never gone against an enemy who uses ice before.
Ice means snow, and snow means Shirayuki!
But it's so weird that she uses flames.
It looks like we'll be facing many more difficult enemies.
Facing difficult enemies? You must mean Shirayuki.
I really hate that girl!
Don't you actually like her quite a bit?
Next, on Hidan no Aria.
