So it's only me and you left, Queen.
I'm afraid it would seem so.
This Neighboring World belongs to me after all.
So you want to destroy it because it's yours?
Yes, I mean, I should at least have that right.
Such foolishness. You don't seem to know what you're talking about.
Is that your only reason for wanting to destroy this world.
If it's really that foolish, then our lives on the line shares the same sentiment.
Very well, this talk ends here.
There was no point of this conversation anyway.
You are...
...a pest.
...a sacrifice.
Zafkiel.
Lucifugus.
Aleph.
Acceleration?
Moznaim.
Teleportation?
When people die, they go either to heaven or to hell.
In that case, for a spirit being like myself, what sort of place awaits my arrival?
It's starting soon.
Tick tock... Tick tock...
One minute left.
She finally arrived! The Last Participant!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I put a huge responsibility on you.
My Love... My Death...
But...
One day I'll definitely, with you again...
How lovely of you.
What could this place be?
The last participant Tokisaki Kurumi, has entered the battlefield.
The game will commence in 30 seconds.
Dear participants, indulge yourselves to your heart's contents.
What?
There's 20 seconds left for the game to start.
Enjoy yourselves to your heart's contents.
Since only one person will survive this game,
Please focus on killing with all your lust.
What's the meaning of this?
Why am I...? Where's this place?
And what do they mean by killing each other?
Game Start!
Don't get in my way Tsuan!
There's no such a thing in a battle royale.
I have to settle the score with Ayame.
Takeshita Ayame is currently facing Doll Master.
She's no match for Doll Master.
You won't be able to settle the score with her I guess.
Then I'll defeat you and Doll Master altogether!
Yes, that would be a wise choice.
But...
I'm afraid that won't be possible.
We'll never know unless we clash, won't we? Biscuit Smasher!
Killing each other? No way, really?
And who might you be?
Sagakure Yui.
Well, get going.
We have to "kill each other" right?
Why am I here... Why am I still alive...
Who are you... Why the cat is so cute...
Even I don't understand any of that..
If you decide to stand before me.
...I'll rip you to smiterness.
Silly talk!
That wasn't half bad.
What?
I see. You're a ninja, right?
Oh my, didn't you run away?
I'm sorry.
There's only 1, 2, 3 people left.
I really want to kill all of you as soon as possible.
Maybe I should take out the weaklings first?
H-Help me, Please!
Hel–
Can you step aside?
I sort of saved you but...
...are you an enemy too?
In that case it'd be better to get rid of you right away.
I'm not! I'm very much not!
I'm begging you, put your gun away!
Then let's make a deal.
Tell me everything you know.
I just got here and I can't distinguish left from right in this place.
Now...
Do you have any idea why you ended up here?
No, not at all.
What about your name?
I am...
Tokisaki Kurumi, I'm a Spirit.
Not a Spirit, you are Quasi-spirit, right?
Spirits are calamities who used to live in this world a long time ago.
They have the power to destroy the world, they're basically Goddesses.
But they're all gone from here as of now.
That's why, the ones who remain here are the beings who come after the Spirits, Quasi-spirits!
..the beings who come after the Spirits?
It took a little bit but, I am Higoromo Hibiki.
Nice to meet you.
So, is there anything else you'd want me to explain?
Let's see.
Why do we have to kill each other?
To make our wish come true.
Wish?
The Quasi Spirit who governs over the tenth region, Malkuth.
Has the power to make wishes come true!
Malkuth?
Ah that's right. I have yet to finish explaining...
This place isn't the world you used to know.
This is the Neighboring World
Girls who are no longer human now live in this world.
In other words, is it Heaven?
No, maybe it's Hell?
Kurumi-san, can you come here, please?
What's up with you—
Wait a minute!
See? You believe me now, right?
I suppose you're right. After seeing this, there is no point of being skeptical anymore.
I’m glad.
If you had said I wouldn't know till i try, i wouldn't have known what to do.
In such a situation I would try by throwing you down.
If you could come back, I would try to fall too.
What if I don’t survive?
Of course I would feel sorry for your precious sacrifice.
I can't feel any grief from you.
Also, about the thing you said before…
Saying that winning grants any wish.
Yes.
This wish. Can It be anything I ask for?
Yes. You can revive the dead. You can even go back to the real world too.
Is it possible to go back?
If you win this death-match...
...of course your wish will come true.
Who was the one that imposed this death match?
I don't know her name.
But she is an existence known as the White Empress : Queen.
However I do not know what she looks like.
Queen...
Well, if you want you can help.
Help?
Yes, there is a wish i want to make true too.
For this I want to win.
Although I am weak, my knowledge is excellent.
Kurumi-san, although you are not that knowledgeable, you are very strong.
So let's team up and fight together.
Of course, we will fight at the end.
Let's fight fair and square when that time comes.
Please give me three seconds to decide.
Yes, think carefully... three seconds?
1, 2, 3, I'll do.
So fast!
But if you betray me, do not blame me for what will happen.
Okay.
Then tell me, who i should kill?
Yes. For this game, there are eight people including me and Kurumi-san.
NII-SAMA FANSUBS
3.
Among those who participated this time, she is the physically strongest one.
Her name is Biscuit Smasher.
Biscuit what?
Biscuit Smasher.
It is said that she crushes her enemy like crushing a biscuit.
Quite unpleasant.
Sagakure Yui, Kunoichi.
For some reason, there are many people with the same face.
Looks like a cloning technique
Ah. I remember meeting her before.
Now we know that she can use clone techniques to flee.
Hijikata Isami.
Her katana is very long and big.
She seems like saba saba basa basa.
Saba saba, basa basa?
I’m sorry, I said it in my own words.
Here we have... Takeshita Ayame-san but...
She is already dead.
My dear...
Ibusuki Pannier, a.k.a Doll Master.
You've just seen the puppets attacking, right?
This is the Quasi-spirit that controls them.
Then we don't need to worry. I have destroyed her puppets.
The bad news is she can control more than 100 of these puppets.
That's one girl army.
How very interesting.
And the last one, Queen.
Is the one called Queen also participating in this death match?
Sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn't.
I’m not sure if she is this time either.
I more or less understand.
Can I ask one last question?
Sure. Sure.
What is your wish?
I want to revive my friend.
That is my wish.
Your friend?
Yes.
She was a very important friend of mine… a very important.
Don't you think it's worth taking your life at risk,
if you can revive the friend that you lost?
I guess... You could say so.
Let's do our best, Kurumi-san!
We will have to kill each other at the end.
Thats another thing.
Are you non-real, fake Quasi-spirit?
For fake, Yes!
For Quasi-spirit, No!
As a genuine Spirit, I'm telling you that "Quasi" can't be attributed to me.
Sounds interesting.
Even if I call myself a spirit, it seems like this is the limit of my current state.
Hey, hey, you are the new one, right?
Don't fire! Don't fire!
If you shoot me, Higoromo Hibiki will die.
You mean you have a hostage?
Yup, yup!
Hey, want to team-up with me?
I would be more useful than that useless.
Look at this little.
I can be certain you are very strong.
But the one called Higoromo Hibiki is holding you back.
It's true that Hibiki-san doesn’t do much.
Right? Then–
Then let me ask you this, what kind of wish do you want?
I want to get such a big dessert.
So I can have fun with all the people I turned into dolls.
Sounds like fun.
Isn't it?
But once I make a promise, I don’t corrupt my soul until I fulfill it.
So thats how it is.
Then...
...you have to die!
Oh my, what an interesting way to welcome someone.
It is a rather ugly method, though, despite a childish wish.
What do you mean?
So what is it that you intend to wish for?
I... I have already died once.
After dying, I found myself in this world.
To keep my promise, to make my wish comes true—
I've made a decision.
Yes. Even if it costs me... one death or even two deaths.
No matter how long it takes, I will fall in love with that person again.
I'll never give up.
I'll go to see that person once again.
The atmosphere has suddenly changed.
Zafkiel.
A giant clock...
It can't be! No way!
Allow me to introduce myself again.
My name is Tokisaki Kurumi.
Truth of truth spirit.
With this Zafkiel, I can finally deliver my proper introduction to you.
No way... No way...
This power is…
The Third Biggest Disaster. The Almighty High Spirit who controls Time and Shadow.
Indeed it is. Then, Doll Master-san.
I will play with you however you want!
Do it! Bring it on!
It's definitely a lie that you are a Spirit!
I will prove it!
Aleph!
Damn you...
What part of you is a spirit? A person like you…
Zayin!
Disappeared?
What did you do?
Oh my, didn’t you see?
I just walked behind you normally.
It was only during that time that I stopped your time.
It can't be. No way... So you are a Spirit like Queen?
Like Queen?
Here you are.
I want to fight more.
Wait there!
Can I join too?
Where is Doll Master?
Oh my, this is getting interesting.
You saved me from killing all of you one by one.
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
Something like this was beyond my expectations.
I have to find a way to save myself using Higoromo Hibiki.
But why did her powers suddenly comeback?
The answer to that is quite simple.
In Neighboring World, Spirit Mana can easily be called upon.
If she focuses, she can release Zafkiel from its shackles.
It can't be.
Believing this is so hard for me too.
A promise she made to a person she had just met...
...who would have thought that she would care so much about it.
But this is exactly what suits Kurumi-san.
Queen, why?
You said you wouldn’t appear this time.
Thank you, Doll Master, for helping me just the way I want it.
With your foolishness her Zafkiel got activated.
That was really important. Especially for me!
Damn You!
Kurumi-san.
As always you are pure, perfect and menacing.
