And you, human Amano Souma!! Sword: Souma...? Heh, is that so? Nanami: What does she mean, Sword? Sword: That the one Fennel's waiting for... --- Page 161 Sword: is the human Amano Souma! Nanami: Uuh, the sealing glasses!! When'd you get those! Fennel: Hehe... You got it. Fennel: That's right!! I came here to settle matters with the human who hurt my pride!! Fennel: At the time, I went easy on my opponent thinking he was human, but today will be different!! --- Page 162 Fennel: I'll settle matters with that human as a single warrior!! Sword: As a warrior, eh...Is that why you've followed us this far? Fennel: The others are at school... Here, there won't be any interruptions. Sword: I like that!! You'll get what you want!!! Nanami: But... Souma will die!! Nanami. Huh... Sword: Don't worry... He can't lose! --- Page 163 Nanami: So... Souma!!! --- Page 164 Nanami: Souma, hurry and take the glasses off!! Only the person who put them on can do that!! Souma: Don't worry, Nanami-chan... I'm not going to lose. Souma: With Sword-san soon getting the fragment... yeah... With everybody waiting at the school, he entrusted it to me. Souma: I still have the same feelings of wanting to run in fear as before, but... Souma: But I can't betray Sword-san's trust!! --- Page 165 Fennel: Hehe... You've finally appeared, human... Fennel: Today, I'll be serious right from the start... I'll finish the match in one blow!! Fennel: My strongest technique!! Souma: Mizuno-san, take care of Nanami...!! Mizuno: Y, yes!! Fennel: Sword of Gehenna... In this blade dwells the fiery wings of Hell!! Fennel: Scorch all life with that hellfire!! --- Page 166 Fennel: Hissatsu Gouka Houou-ken!!! {certain-kill hellfire phoenix blade} Souma: But... This time, I should be able to....!! Nanami: Souma!! --- Page 167 Souma: For I'm... the successor of the Uraankokumatoujutsu!!! Fennel: You can't defeat me with only defense!! --- Page 168 Fennel: But, are you trying to take me by surprise!? Fennel: Bakuen Shouheki!! {Flame-blast Barrier} Fennel: Such a technique is no use against me!! Die, human Amano Souma!!! Nanami: Souma!! --- Page 169 Fennel: Wha...!? --- Page 170 Nanami: ... Fennel: Wh, what... a third weapon at the same time!? Where'd you get such power... Souma: The Uraankokumatoujutsu is a technique embodying one's soul... Souma: And inside me is Sword-san's soul... and three fragments of Satan's soul. Fennel: You're saying you used all of those...? If a human used such mental power... you'd destroy yourself!! Souma: I was so into defeating you I didn't think of that... --- Page 171 Souma: But... As I thought, I couldn't... kill a... girl... Nanami: So, Souma!! Fennel: So, that was the fight... Stupid human. You kept treating me like a woman until the very end...!! Nanami: S, stop!! --- Page 172 Nanami: Huh!? Nanami: Wh... why!? Fennel: If he'd pushed that blade out further, I'd be dead... I lost totally... Fennel: I can't believe I lost to a human, but... with this, it's obvious. Fennel: The rest... --- Page 173 Fennel: Sword, all that's left is for you to kill me!! Fennel: That human couldn't kill me. But, my pride will not let me live on after being defeated. Sword: I can't grant that request. Sword: Souma's the one that defeated you. Why would I kill an opponent that he let live? Fennel: Heh... So you're just like that human... You're really nice... Fennel: Fine, then... --- Page 174 Fennel: I'll have to do it like this!!
