Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

Mr. Margo promised to finish in five minutes...

The battle with Miss Edie took less than a minute.

"... WRYYYYY!!

"... haah!

"... HASHOOOO!

"... Toa!

Miss Edie launches one attack after another against Mr. Margo......

Not a single shot at Mr. Margo.

My fists, my kicks... it's all been spotted.

"... WESHZZZ!!

Kicked Miss Edie's foot at the same time......

Mr. Margo is a low kick, pruning her axial feet!

Fall out of shape, Miss Edie.

Roll down the floor and try to get a distance......

Mr. Margo has already moved ahead.

It's like... I can see Miss Edie's next move.

Horseback ride Miss Edie on the floor...... hold her down with one hand.

My other fist...... targets Miss Edie's face.

Eat Mr. Margo's punch at this distance...... it will be damaging.

"... Ha!!

...... Huh?!!!

In front of Miss Edie...... Mr. Margo stopped the fist he shook down.

And... in a low voice, I said something.

"... 'You died five times in this struggle,' he says."

Ning will interpret.

Miss Edie, who remains on the floor, looks up to Mr. Margo with an angry face.

"Edie is angry at me for saying," Why are you doing this? "

... hands-down?

During the battle between Miss Edie and the three men, Margo, Guan and Reihua, it looked like five minutes...

Why does it make such a difference when it's a one-on-one battle with Mr. Margo...?

"'You're still growing. I'm not going to prune the sprouts that are stretching'... 'cause"

...... Mr. Margo.

"'Above all... you're Michi's friend, aren't you? Then you're just like my sister."

Miss Edie asks looking up at Wisdom from the floor.

"'Is this man Master of Sister Mitch?'"

Michi answers… "No".

"'She's one of my' sisters', but not my master '"

Thanks to Ning's interpreter, I understand very well.

Miss Edie looks up to Mr. Margo again.

"'Why did you hide your strength earlier? You didn't move at all when the three of us were together'..."

Mr. Margo answers with a bitter smile.

"'That was observing your combat power...' cause. The real strong don't show their full strength from the start, 'he says."

Right...... Mr. Margo.

Observing Kan and Reihua's struggle... I was trying to figure out Miss Edie's abilities.

"'You, the flesh is well trained. In physical terms, they may be stronger than us. But you have too little experience. This would be the first time you've been in a real fight, wouldn't it?'... because."

Miss Edie's expression changes.

"... 'How do you know? You're saying."

Kan was surprised.

"No... I didn't realize that. Instead, he was always a strong opponent coming at the steeple from this blind spot."

"That 'always accurate' is a bad habit...!

Margo answers Kan in Japanese for a moment...... Also, back to English.

"... 'You aim too precisely at the steeple. Because I specialize in assassinations, I know I want to tail my opponents as quickly as possible... but with such an easy-to-understand attack, only amateurs can defeat them. Combat professionals readily read the next move from your action. Don't make a simple attack, like being prepended by your opponent'"

Ning interprets more and more English conversations.

"... 'That's not my top speed offense right now. If you speed up your opponent's predictions, it doesn't matter'"

Miss Edie seems to be arguing that way.

Margo answers with a low voice…

"'What matters is not speed... it's the rhythm of the struggle. The rhythm of your attacks is always the same. It's very monotonous. There are no variations in rhythm. I think this is probably because I've always only trained with the same opponent. No matter how quick the attack is, if the rhythm is the same, you can defend it. If your opponent predicts an attack, you lose." "

... I see.

Once we know the rhythm, we can deal with it.

If they're going to attack the steeple precisely... all the more so.

"'Instead, by always only pairing up with someone close to you, you have a bad habit of physical movement. If I was attacked deliberately to disrupt your rhythm, your movements stopped as soon as possible. You can never beat me now." "

Yeah...... totally Mr. Margo was holding back Miss Edie's offense.

"'How can I beat you?

Miss Edie tells Margo to strip her of her fighting spirit...

Mr. Margo smiled nicely......

"'It doesn't make any sense that I beat one. I'm fighting as a team...'"

"... Team?

Miss Edie looks strange.

"'That's right. I look like I beat you one-on-one right now... but, actually, I don't. In the previous struggle... I was watching you fight with those two so I could find your Week Point. We're a team. So in the end, as a team, I just need to beat you...'"

...... Mr. Margo.

"'If I had lost to you in this struggle... the other two would have seen the way I fought and realized your tactics. Whatever happens, the rest of us will definitely defeat you. You haven't won since the beginning." "

"'... something you can defeat. Even now, from this position, I try to reverse it." "

Miss Edie's fighting spirit will not disappear.

Really, you hate losing... this kid.

"'No, I can't beat you'"

Michi... told Miss Edie.

"'... why, Sister?

Michi's words seem to have moved Miss Edie's mind as well.

"'Cause you're an assassin... you're only taught to infiltrate enemy land by yourself and kill the person you were instructed to kill, right? Your struggle has only two choices: kill your opponent or you will be killed. Unlike us,'"

"'No?... Michi?

"'Our struggle is a struggle to protect. Even if one is defeated, the remaining human will take over and fight. Because we can never lose. We are only allowed a future of protection…!

"'What... are you protecting?

Michi answered.

"'... it's our family'"

Family...... "Family".

"'I have no family. Your grandmother died. The Order has forsaken me…'"

Miss Edie's face clouds.

"'All I can do now is hone up the assassination technique my grandmother taught me. Because this is the only bond that connects me to my grandmother...'"

To Miss Edie's words...... Michi says.

"'There was a time when I, too, was thinking that way. But...... not so'"

"... Sister?

See Michi, Miss Edie.

"'A move is a move... only to do something. The purpose should not be to hone your moves. My moves were inherited from my grandfather and father... but I will use them for my family. To this end, we will build up further drilling. I will also tell my children about this move. May my children protect their families...'"

"'Michi child? Is Sister Mitch going to have a baby?

"'Yes, I will give birth'"

Miss Edie remains a dark face......

"'I don't want to have kids. Because I don't want my child to be an assassin just like me...'"

Mr. Margo... laughs.

"'If you don't want to be an assassin... you just have to grow up like that'"

"'But... I'm only educated as an assassin'"

"'How old are you now?

"'It's Six Teens'"

"'Then you'll make it at all. From now on, all you have to do is learn something other than be an assassin'"

Miss Edie stares at Mr. Margo with a kicking eye......

"'Do you want me to throw away the moves I inherited from my grandmother...!

"'Nobody said that... you just have to create a new martial art that can do anything but assassinate based on the assassination you inherited from your grandmother'"

... another martial arts.

"'My Kudo Ryu is an ancient martial art... originally a killing move on the battlefield. But generations of heirs made various attempts to improve it, which allowed them to have more than just kill people'"

Michi... look at me.

"'Me... Tonight, for the first time, I used Kudo Stream's moves to love people'"

in sex...... 'Heart Moon' eye opening.

"'... love?

"'That's right. Sister Edie. Even your moves will surely keep you alive for something other than assassination'"

Miss Edie is nagging......

"'I don't... I don't know. I don't know anything but assassination." "

"'So I think your grandmother... told you to go outside the church and train...!

... Michi?!

"'Meet different people... and tell them to know all sorts of moves. There's still a lot in the world that you don't know. I can't, I don't know, I don't think it's a word you should say until you know the world......!

Mr. Margo smiles softly.

"'Miss Edie... I can't let you take me down, so I can't teach you how to beat me... but I can teach you how to be stronger now...!

Ha ha, Miss Edie.

"'Are you telling me?

"'Oh, you're Michi's friend, aren't you? Then it's like" for my sister "to me."

Mr. Margo smiles gently.

"'That's what your lady just told me...'"

Miss Edie sees Mr. Ning.

"'You hit me... me and Maru are part of the same family. Mitch, too. So you're all welcome to talk about Edie!

Ning answers.

"'I mean... Edie's in our family, too!

"'I...?!

Surprise, Miss Edie.

"'Yeah. That's the best part. Be my child......!

To Ning's words... Miss Edie sees Michi.

"'... be a true Sister. Does Sister Edie hate being my sister?

"'... though that's not true'"

"'Then it's settled. Yikes!

Ning... laughed, I said.

"'... okay? I'm an assassin, right? You're from the church, aren't you?

Miss Edie says anxiously.

"I'm telling you... Yo, what do you think?

Ning looks at me.

"Tell him it doesn't matter"

I said...

"'It doesn't matter. Edie would welcome it,' cause Yo says so too...!

"'... let's hear what others have to say. Where's Mr. Margo?

Michi asks Margo.

"'Of course I'm welcome.'"

"'How about your sister Reihua?

"... me?

Amazing, Reihua.

"'Yes, I'm family... please answer'"

To the words of Michi... Reihua also answers in English.

He's the top elite in fragrance moon security services... and he's fluent in English.

"'I... more sisters are welcome'"

shy, Reihua said.

"'This sister, too, was just looking at things earlier...... if you mean it, she's far stronger than you, Sister Edie'"

That's what Michi said.

"'No, I...'"

To Reihua trying to deny, Miss Edie...

"'No, I know you have more forged flesh than me......!

'Family', that means being one of them... Miss Edie seems to be able to see them calmly.

While I was a 'lonely assassin'... I guess everyone looked like an 'enemy' to deny.

Just one...... except for the wisdom of using the same moves as my grandmother......

"'I was... just like you, Miss Edie'"

Reihua says.

"'Only one person, trying to be lonely... was stubbornly committed to his style. And I was complacent that I was the strongest if I was one-on-one. It's not the first real battlefield to duel alone with someone like that." "

... Reihua.

"'By having a family, I have learned many things. The limits of what you can do on your own and... the pointlessness of trying to protect loneliness. Now I have many sisters and sisters. Everyone is helping and encouraging me. I will fight for my family until this is all I have... I have given my family a chance to learn. I also hope Miss Edie grabs the same kick-ass'"

... Edie is.

"'... please call me Sister Edie. Sister'"

Take Reihua's words...

"'Your sister's words... will stain you'"

And...... see Margo, Seung, Michi.

"'My sisters... they're all stronger than me. … Now, I know very well'"

The death of my grandmother and her exile from her homeland...... relationship with Miss Cordelia.

Miss Edie kept her heart shut the whole time.

I guess the only assassination technique I learned from my grandmother was to support her lonely.

So deny all the humans who use other moves... only my assassination technique, I watched.

... That's it.

Having met Wisdom...... from the nostalgia of seeing moves similar to my grandmother's, my heart opened......

To Margo, for losing and….

The invitation to be our 'family'...

It's melting Miss Edie's frozen heart......

This childhood smile... it was all fake.

Instead of pushing my emotions to death... I was forced to make a smile.

"Sister Reihua, now as ok...... what about Seung?

Ning deliberately asked Kan in Japanese.

"No, you know... I'm not in your family yet...!

Seki-san also answers in Japanese.

"I don't care about that... as a struggling senior, say something to Edie. If Seki-san doesn't say something, this place won't stop!

Sure... I fought three to one earlier...

No way, just Mr. Guan...... "I'm a little different," Miss Edie gets confused.

"... right"

Seung-san speaks fluent English.

"'Sure, you're still immature. But I think it's very qualitative, and I'll never waste my previous training. I'm sure we'll be stronger... if we keep drilling...'"

"Seung-san, I don't want that kind of advice!

Ning stares at Meh.

"Whether or not to admit Edie as a buddy...... that's all I'm saying to you!

Again, Mr. Guan looks at Miss Edie......

"'... I, too, accept thee. From now on, I'm one of you... Miss Edie'"

Miss Edie smiles nicholly.

"All Right... Sister!

Again, Michi to Miss Edie......

"'Sister Edie, we fight because there are people to protect. Our family... Sister Ning and my husband. Then this woman from your husband's livestock. They'll protect us together, won't they...'"

Snow snow buzzes.

"I also said livestock about me..."

"You just didn't get ignored. If Snow says it's not" family, "Miss Edie will kill you."

Yeah...... I can imagine lightly.

Snow should be thankful to Michi.

"… I Do"

Miss Edie answered.

"'Sister Meizhi's family is my family… Sister Meizhi's protector is my protector'"

They swore it to me that way.

And... think about it for a second, then open your mouth again.

"'I see... it's not like fighting alone. It's a completely different feeling to have someone to protect...'"

Miss Edie's new training begins...

◇ ◇ ◇

Now, we tell Margo and the others quickly about what happened after Miss Cordelia caught us.

The Margos also told us about after they broke up with us... but as they were talking about in correspondence, they came down to this floor without any sign of any raid.

Then Margo and Guan ask Miss Edie a question.

But Miss Cordelia hardly seems to teach her rookie girlfriend about the operation.

Well... Miss Edie didn't miss Miss Cordelia at all...

For once, I listen to orders, but they were defiant in nature... so I had no choice.

"Current situation in the hotel… I'd like to know"

Seki-san says so...

"This is a safe house for VIPs, right? Can't you pull the information out of the building?

Ning asks.

"I have a connector to link up with the surveillance system... but I don't have a device here that I can monitor. When VIPs come here to evacuate, they're bound to have escorts from the Fragrant Moon Security Service with them."

Really... the guard in charge is carrying a dedicated terminal machine?

Well, can't we just leave a room like this with a lot of confidential opportunities?

"If this is the case, I should have brought the terminal machine from room 2505."

says Mr Margo.

"If I had such a big machine, I would have been hit when Miss Cordelia first attacked me."

Seki-san says so.

"Right. That's why you left it. Damn...... Tony did it to you. You let us have the biggest terminal on purpose."

I laugh bitterly, Mr. Margo.

When we got out of room 2505, we had trouble carrying it... did you bother to lend us a big machine?

"If you get down to the 20th floor, there's a guard's office. Then you might see some surveillance footage."

Said as Seung-san remembered.

"Yeah...... let's go there for now"

Mr. Margo decides to do so.

"I think it's time for a good time… I don't think all the 'enemies' can stand by us"

"What do you mean...?

Reihua asks Margo.

"I think it's time for Kudo and the others to mount a total attack on Sizario Viola's main unit. If that happens, Miss Cordelia and the others will have to go to support Viola, won't they? Even Chief Tanizawa's priority will be to keep an eye on the crime scene..."

So far......

It is expected that there will be a connection between Chief Tanzawa and Miss Cordelia......

Between Chief Tanzawa and Sizario Viola, I can't feel anything behind it.

Remains in a state of conflict.

"Whatever you think, I don't think it's possible for the violas to come up to the 21st floor..."

Kudo fathers, the Free Guards are intercepting us... and we're cutting back on numbers.

It's a smaller number of people, and we're going on reconnaissance...

Even the speed of the invasion would be extremely slow.

"I think so, my servant..."

Seung-san, too, said so...

"Probably the showdown will be on the floor around the 19th floor......!
