Vol 1 Chapter 32 (1/2)
”Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep!”
”Mm… Huh? Wha-?”
”Beep beep- Oh! Kino, you're finally awake!”
Kino, awakened by Her, found herself in a dark barn There were no livestock, however Deserted stalls lined the walls
”Huh? Where am I?”
Kino had yet to figure out her current situation She turned her sleepy face to the side and saw a rusted cart used to transport feed Above her was a broken hich let the rain into the barn Its fraainst the wall
”This is an abandoned barn in a nearby farm! Kino, you've been kidnapped by a de matter
”I thought the de root in my school Why would one be all the way over here?”
Just as Kino was about to get up, however--
”Huh? What's this?”
She realized that her hands and feet were bound with thick ropes Herh up in the barn Hermes' voice traveled down from above
”What'd I tell you? You believe me now, Kino?”
”Yeah- argh!”
Kino struggled, but the ropes were too thick Her hands and feet were completely immobilized Hermes explained what had happened just after she had taken the drink The unconscious Kino had been transported here on a small pickup truck
”You mean that milk delivery lady?”
”Yep Judging from how she could lift you with one hand, I'd say she's fallen for the temptation of evil I don't knohat they teain, Kino”
”What? Now they're even dragging in people who have nothing to do with ivable!”
Kino burned with heroic rage You know Kino, you're the reason for all this happening
”What are you going to do? The deone off somewhere”
”Isn't it obvious? I' to escape like a hero, transform, and show that demon who's boss! Let's seal it away!”
”Good luck with that”
Her he could, was quite cold Kino briefly fell into thought She tried to bite her way through the ropes, but all she did was end up chewing on grass She tried twisting her wrists and ankles, but it was no use She put tooa muscle
”This isn't going to work… Hermes, I have a Type-38 Rifle with a bayonet in et it for me?”
”Let's try to stay in the realm of possibility”
”You're useless! I don't re you to be like this!”
Sos were difficult, noshe could think of, until her face went red The ropes didn't budge
”pant… pant…”
Kino was breathing heavily
”Are you okay, Kino?” Hermes asked orry in his voice
”This is nothing…”
Sos were impossible, no matter how much Kino tried She was all alone in the barn, in the middle of a typhoon
”Dauns… if I could just transform…”
Theher oeakness--
”Dary”
Whoosh!+
there was the sound of a blade cutting through the wind, and the thick barn doors fell to pieces The grey skies peeked out fro a sword
”shi+-shi+zu-senpai!”
”Are you all right, Kino?” shi+zu sheathed his katana, completely drenched His wet hair was sexy, and his cool eyes were dandy
”shi+zu-senpai! You came to rescue me! Thank you!”
Kino was truly overwhelmed by thankfulness
”You're welco his head out frorin He ran over to Kino, who frowned
”I' you” (Question 3: Translate this sentence into German)
”I'ured out where you were, Kino” Inuyama untied Kino with a smile on his face Kino asked him how he found her
”I wonder… maybe it's the power of love?” he answered
Kino turned away from him, appalled Inuyama knew better than to tell her that he had followed her scent, and that he had atte machine with that excuse and was almost stabbed to death by shi+zu
Kino, finally free, clies, retrieved her belt, and put it around her waist
”I thought you ry”
shi+zu handed Kino a plastic bag Inside were four rice balls and a sht from home
Kino's eyes sparkled She devoured the lunch in less than five seconds shi+zu spoke once she had finished eating
”The kidnapper sent a ransorandmother must be worried”
Kino bowed her head, apologized for worrying the her Inuyama asked, ”What about me?”
”I'll forgive you for trespassing into our house”
That was kind of mean
Inuya from his shoulders Immediately afterwards--
”Oh!”
He let out a cry, as if he had noticed so shi+zu and Kino did as well The trio put their backs to each other without speaking a word and put theh alert shi+zu reached for his katana and spoke
”Can you sense it? So this way”
”Yes I can s this location”
”Argh… out of the fire and into the frying pan” said shi+zu, Inuyae creatures under the control of des that use their nue
Kino was thankful to the two for saving her, but right now they were just hindrances because she needed to transform But she couldn't just tell them to leave, after all they'd done
shi+zu lanced at the unarmed Inuyama and Kino
”I'll take care of this You two get to a safe location” he said heroically, drawing his sword He ran outside before anyone could reply Kino couldn't waste this perfect opportunity
”All right We should get away too!”
”I understand A lovers' elopement?”
”Start running on the count of 3, okay?”
”Okay! The run of love! I'm ready!”
”One, two, three!”
”Go!”
Kino and Inuyama ran for the back door
Never mind Kino pretended to run for the back door, but stopped and tripped Inuyama
”Oh my God--!”
Inuya, rolled all the way out of the barn
When the sound of his rolling stopped, Kino heard the roaring ofbeaten to a pulp
”Phew I'm finally alone”
Kino smiled with the intensity of a thousand suns She was a terrible hero--don't try this at home, kids
”Good job, Kino All right! Now you can transform and save them! You can tell the PTA that what you did just noas all planned so that you could save Inuyama at the end!”
”Got it!”
Kino drew the un from the holster It was time to play the transformation sequence Of course, the animation is recycled This would use up a few seconds of screen time
Kino raised her right arh into the air, released the haer
”From my cold! Dead! Hands!”
The sound of the igniting primer ed by the sound of the typhoon
Kino's body was covered in a bright light Her spinning forle shot The fact that she was naked didn't matter because it was all in silhouette
”Transforht as hter Rider Kino!”
Eirl in a sailor uniform The Warrior of Justice, clad in a sailor suit and belt with pouches, had arrived
”Hmph!”
Kino sneered and holstered her legendary Persuader, the Big Cannon~shi+ning Iron Demon Destroyer It was a real revolver that could one-shot any demon
”It's not time to use this yet”
That was because it was a weapon she could only use once per transformation
Kino opened one of her pouches and took out a Sterling subun It had a cylindrical frarip stuck out froazine stuck out of its left side There was supposed to be astock, but it had been removed
Kino pulled the cocking handle and pulled away her hands Because it was an open bolt gun, it would be ready to fire when the bolt had fullythat ejected shell casings
”All right First I'll save Inuyama…”
”Yeah The katana man should be fine on his own for now”
Kino and Hermes headed into the typhoon that Inuyama had disappeared into
”But there's one good thing about this fight”
”Really? What is it, Kino?”
”Pervert Mask won't get in my way this time There's no way he'd coht without any distractions this time” Kino said happily Hermes, however, remained silent
It was still early afternoon, but it was very dark outside the barn The rain falling sideways drenched Kino's hair in an instant A Warrior of Justice never uses an umbrella
”Hey, whitey! You there?”
The back of the barn was overrun eeds Kino carefully aiht There was no one around, however
”You think he's been eaten already?”
”Soe, Kino Look below you”
Below? Kino crouched down on the ground There were strange round It wasn't clearly visible because of all the grass, but wet ashes were piled up on the ground--they hat reround--an innus
”Hmm…”
Kino picked up one of the casings It was frounpowder Of course, Kino had yet to fire a single shot
”Hmm…”
Kino tossed away the shell casing and looked up into the sky Her froasn't just because of the pouring rain
All Kino saas a rainy sky
”Hmph”
A slasses
A boy was looking down at Kino froe shed beside the barn He wore black boots, black pants, a black trenchcoat, and black gloves The mysterious white-haired boy dressed in black went completely unnoticed by Kino
In his hands were a pair of 9mm Beretta M92Fs fitted with silencers Howonto the barrel dissipated instantly
”This should be enough”
A drenched shi+zu muttered, as he cut down his 49th and 50th monsters at once
He was about 100 meters from the barn, at a location that was obscured from view by the typhoon and the rainstorm
What could he have meant by what he had just said? shi+zu was still surrounded by hundreds of monsters The monsters were 2 meters tall and looked like bears They walked on their hind legs and had thick ar maws looked extremely powerful
Despite being surrounded bythis, the erous situation If they were to attack at once, shi+zu would be torn to shreds
shi+zu put his right hand over his face and tossed his hair elegantly
Don't tellto do that, shi+zu?
”I am”
I knew it
”I owe it to the readers to give the to look at”
So you're planning a striptease? You're trying to generate fanservice? Of course, I take it you're transfor into Samoyed Mask
”…a foolish author will only make his characters suffer”
What?!
”Pay it no o! My transfor his arms
”Haaaah!”
He then clapped his hands, still surrounded by the swar monsters
A shi+ning light! Glowing as brightly as a pearl! Piercing through the darkness! The blinding, sacred radiance!
None of the above occurred
”One, two…”
shi+zu began taking off his uniform He unbuttoned the top, removed his wet jacket and shi+rt, and even took off the wrinkled T-shi+rt underneath His well-toned upper body was exposed to the world
”One, two…”
He then proceeded to take off his shoes and socks He removed the katana from his belt and took off his pants Oh my! He's even taken off his underwear His well-toned rest omitted
”Het”
A peek? You're stark naked This is indecent exposure
”No, it is a transformation I will accept no complaints”
I don't know much about law, but shouldn't this constitute as a crime?
”Open your eyes I aather weaponry'”
Shut up
The naked round with a shovel Where'd he get the shovel, anyway? About twosolid in the ground shi+zu quickly cleared the dirt and took out a metal box the size of a suitcase
Neatly arranged inside the box was a white school uniforht red apple
”It helps to be prepared”
You mean you buried this stuff all over the country?
”Yes One per every square kilometre, approximately”
Must be tiring, being you
”Finally, the last stage of my transformation!”
You're just getting dressed
”Hm… Could I do this alone? Ta-tata-tatatata! Tadada-tata!”
He began to quickly get dressed in order to turn fro on the mask first, but you've already put on your shi+rts and jacket and buttoned up all the way, and you've even put on your cape, socks and shoes So why are you not putting on your underwear?
”This is my transformation philosophy”
More like 'perversion philosophy'
And then--
”Haa-hahahaha! Dear father in hell! Your son is still alive and kicking! Aha! Haah! Yoohoo!” shouted Almost Samoyed Mask, as he finally covered his lower body He then put on his belt, zipped up, attached his katana to his belt, put the apple on his head, made an indescribable pose, and shouted
”Coht! I am now--'The Creator of Hopes and Dreams, Samoyed Mask R'!”
Thank you for destroying our hopes and dreams
Ratatatat! Kino was firing rhythmically Waves upon waves of monsters turned to dust and scattered into the storm
Kino fired aith the Sterling, her back to the barn so as to avoid a surprise attack Oh! Looks like she was out of a back into the pouch and took out another gun It was an M60E un, as seen on films like Raround, held the heavy gun at her waist, and…
”Let's rock and roll!”
She fired aith reckless abandon
”It's no use! I'h my hometown!”
Kino fought valiantly in the middle of the typhoon However, their nu overwhelainst the wall earlier, Kino was noithout a means of escape
”damn…”
Kino was quickly running out of ammo, but the number of monsters continued to increase
”Kino! Let's retreat for now!” Hermes shouted
”Overpast me!” Hermes' voice, however, did not faze Kino Oh! It seeun was out of ammo
”damn!”
Sweat formed on Kino's brow Of course, it wasn't visible because of the typhoon
”This isn't good You're in danger, Kino” Hermes worried, but at that moment--
”It seems you may need my help!”
A man's voice
Click! The aun went quiet with this last sound The noisy barn area was enveloped in silence It was kind of like a transition in a movie where the screen spun away from the camera
”This voice… It can't be…”
Theto Kino was not her lack of ammunition, nor was it her current state of peril It was this familiar voice
”When the er…”
”Herht? I'ht?” Kino asked, face pale with panic
”You have to face reality” Hermes replied
”A lone knight descends from the distant skies!”
A breeze The winds were already very strong because of the typhoon, but it seems this man's line just now had made it even worse
”…”
Kino's jaw dropped Her round
”Haaaahahaha! Here I come! Hyah!”
The scene that folloas the kind of thing that could make any member of PETM(People for the Ethical Treat at the mouth
”Hahahaha! Hah! Die! Slash!+ KILL!”
The white-caped, white- anthe cute innocent monsters In this case, the word ”innocent” is spelt with the following kanji -> 純眞(2)
”The death of oes for justice! How delightful!”
The man in white madly cut down dozens of monsters
”Hood for a wared katana, and returned to Kino's side
”hello there, Mysterious Kino I have rescued you from peril” He smiled His teeth sparkled
”Okaythanksforhelping a broken branch
”How callous, Mysterious Ki-”
”Don't callhere, anyway?!”
”That is an excellent question The answer is…”
”Never o off on one of your incoain and finish with 'Do you understand?'”
The katana man shook his head He then spoke
”In reality, I a at the home of an underclassman named Kino” he said, with a smile on his lips In the middle of a typhoon
”…”
Kino was silent for about three seconds Before she knew it, the waterproof cassette player between the katanawas 'Violin Concerto for shi+zu-senpai~Everything I Do, I Do for Love', a song that was not included in the soundtrack due to certain reasons
In the midst of the harmonious serenade of violins--
”Oh…”
Kino softly looked up at the man
”Hm”
The man also smiled faintly and looked at Kino--Fire! Bullets rained down upon his face
”That's not funny, you lying bastard!”
Ratatatatatatatatatat! Kino pulled the trigger She fired away on autoht towards the man's face
Please wait a moment
”Oh, what a mess”
Aaway the tomato stains from his face (Question 4: Explain why a tomato materialized so suddenly Multiple choice
A Because Samoyed Mask can block bullets with tomatoes
B Because of a sudden explosion of rage from tomato farmers
C Because Princess Todom
D Because the tomato is on a Honda VTR1000F)
”You make one more tasteless joke, and I'll pump your face full of lead!”
Steae rose fro earlier?
”I'round Pieces of the cassette player were scattered over the grass beside him
”Anyway, stay out ofto stick around, try to make yourself useful, Samoyed Mask α!”
”No, I am not Samoyed Mask α I am 'The Creator of Hopes and Dreams, Samoyed Mask R' 'The Missionary of the Blade, Love, and Truth, Samoyed Mask α' from the previous episode has retired due to the injuries he sustained in the last battle He is back ho to run the family sundries shop”
”I see I don't care You're all the same, whether you're R or α” Kino said coldly She took out a new gun froht autoazine, loaded, and prepared to fire Info about this gun -> It's thin and long
”You ht your way to the de Lead Gun Do you understand?”
”Big Cannon!”
”Yes! That one!” Saetically Kino frowned It looked like she was going back and forth between trusting and not trusting him
”Dammit! If only I had just one et in Samoyed Mask R's way
”Yes Three would indeed be better than two, but there is no use trying to deny our current reality” Sanorant of what Kino was actually thinking
The typhoon got stronger The duo was co her school swimsuit underneath her uniform as part of her transforh her shi+rt She was very thorough about things like this
”There's nothing worth looking at, anyway” Samoyed Mask R muttered quietly
Ratatatatatatatat! Tomatoes went splatsplatsplatsplat
A third voice joined the duo
”Are you in need of help?” It was a cool, clear voice
”Hm?”
”Who's there?”
Neither Kino nor Samoyed Mask R could sense anyone's presence As soon as they went into battle stances, however, a boy appeared fro white hair, and wore sunglasses His was a very familiar face
”You're…” Saan ”You're the perverted voyeur I ran into at the secret gymnasium attic, are you not?”
Ratatatatatat! Clangclangclangclang!
The boy the guns in his hands fired aith Samoyed Mask R thee the words in this sentence into the proper order)
”Stop it, both of you!” Kino yelled, bringing the fight to an abrupt close
”You Detective Wanwan?”
The boy in black, Detective Wanwan, nodded
”You're just in ti both his hands in hers Saround and kicked a pebble
Kino spoke with a sincere smile on her face
”I don't kno you got here, but I'lad you did! I have to seal away the demon now, so wanna come help me?”
”Oh… yes I'd love to”
Detective Wanwan looked extreirl, but he desperately continued talking
”This is only our second … but you seem so familiar to me”
What is this guy talking about?
”Oh”
Kino s flowery
”All right, then! Let us go, all three of us Together, we are invincible!” Saetically ”But before that, we should come up with a team name”
He then estion
”How about 'Samoyed Mask R and his Merry Friends'?”
”Denied” ”I refuse” Kino and Detective Wanwan replied at once
”No? Then how about 'Mysterious Kino&Samoyed Mask R+Perverted Voyeur in Black'?”
Ratatatatatat! Clangclangclangclang!
”Stop this right now! You can fight later! Let's go, 'Kino Squad Special Forces', follow me!”
”That is a strange nao, black-clad one!”
”dahter you…”
”Did you say so just now, Detective Wanwan?”
