They both waited for the smoke to clear after Nagisa fled from Akari's lethal gas. They noticed Jurou shielding his head with his cloth after the smoke had cleared. Even though Jurou did not breathe in any gas, he was badly damaged and his skin was burnt.
"I'll never forget you both, Nagisa and Akari, whatever it is!" said Jurou as he fled. Akari then became tired after Jurou had run. "Are you okay? What happened?" Nagisa asked Akari as she ran over. "I inhaled my gas" was Akari's response. She grinned before fainting. Nagisa returned to the headquarters with her in his back.
Nagisa made a hasty call to the commanders after arriving at his destination. "Medic! Someone passed out!" he yelled. Akari was cured by the arrival of medics. The door opened as a result of Rikuu's loud banging and powerful force. "How is she? What happened?" he yelled in a panic.
When Akari regained consciousness, her eyes opened. "Big brother, Nagisa-San. What happened to me?" she muttered. Nagisa answered, "I told you not to fight, I can handle it if I'm mad enough. That's how my rage empowers me. You should've listen" . Akari answered, "I know you can, but I really want to test and fight with my alchemy" .
Rikuu told her, "Never ever to that again. You could die at some point. Always listen what the higher ups says, got me?" . "Yes, I apologize. It won't happen again," Akari retorted.
Jurou returned to Ryuu in pain as he fled. He said "Ryuu, it's hurts so bad. Akari's related to you right?" . "At some point, yes." Ryuu answered, "But how are you damaged by a deffier?" With a nasty smirk, Ryuu said to himself, "I'll kill you, Akari, with Rikuu." Yoshio and Rin came into the room. "What do we have here? Oh! You got sunburn?" exclaimed Yoshio. "What do you expect? It's Jurou," Rin remarked with a giggle. Jurou responded, "Hey, I'm not that weak. I can fight their lowest conqueror, that Nagisa".
When Jurou said the name Nagisa, Ryuu thought of Fuji. "That's the person that killed half of our commanders, including Fuji," Ryuu whispered to Jurou as his smile vanished. "Nagisa looks grand and glorious, as Mei mentioned to me," said Ryuu. "He's not! I can beat him easily," Jurou retorted. Ryuu answered, "Of course you can, Fuji used an invisible alchemy that makes him weaker hour by hour of his life". "This is the last rendezvous for now, take rest and stay fresh, unlike Jurou," Ryuu said as he left.
Ryuu's remarks offended Jurou. He stood up and spoke with Rin and Yoshio. He said, "Maybe he's saying that I'm not fit to be a conqueror" . Rin said, "Of course he would say that, his standards are too high" . In response to Rin and Jurou, Yoshio said, "Yes, it is, but if you truly believe you can defeat him, you should at least cut a single slit in his coat." Yoshio said "Dismiss" and walked away with Rin. "I'll beat him!" Jurou told himself.
In order to breathe fresh air, Ryuu went outside. He walked and bought his goodies. He unexpectedly ran into four enormous thugs. "Hey, watch it! Do you know who are we?" exclaimed one of the thugs. The reply was "No sir. Sorry" and Ryuu stayed motionless. The four followed him as he walked on. He jerked forward, retrieved his knife from his pocket.
"Stay away or you'll die" he shouted, pointing his knife at the thugs. "Oh, you want to play? I'll show you how," one of the thugs retorted. Ryuu was going to get punched by the thug. Ryuu effortlessly severed the thug's arm. The three fled because they were afraid. However, Ryuu did not accept it. He tossed the knife at the thugs after using his hands to split it in three. He slaughtered them all without looking.
"Rikuu, Akari, don't worry, you're both next to our parents," Ryuu told himself as he kept walking. With a malevolent grin, he dashed to their headquarters.
