265 The hands of justice
Shiki: (Right, there was that... Old man Inou was going on about some blue flame...! You make it blue... by doing something or other with the flame and spreading it across every blood vessel in your body, I think...? I don't really get it, but I have no choice but to try. If I can produce the blue flame, I'll be able to win against this guy... If I can't, I'll lose...)
Tougo: (We're the same, you say...? Don't screw with me... )Don't you screw with me!)
Shiki: Close call...!
Tougo: Don't put the pain we've endured on the same level as your kind's dirty blood! Roughly 93 a year... that's the number of ordinary people that get killed by oni. And to me, it's by no means trifling. There's no going around the fact that lives are being lost...
Shiki: (I've no idea how to do this as it is, and on top of that at the same time I also have to keep this guy at bay. Talk about friggin unbeatable game... If I try use the smoke as a cover and buy some time that way...)
Tougo: The families and the lovers of those who got killed... so many people are left grieving... So many perfectly ordinary lives get lost that didn't have to be.
Shiki: (What's that...? Bony hands..?)
Tougo: And those left behind have to bear their grief through the rest of their lives until the day they die. No matter how much they scream and shout, they can never go back to their ordinary lives from before. And their loved one will never return.
Shiki: (No idea what the heck that is, but it's bad news!)
Tougo: They're just forced to bear the resulting scars for no justifiable reason. No way in hell will I stand for such absurdity.
Shiki: All that is the same for us!
Tougo: Justice is on our side.
Shiki: (Not enough firepower...)
Tougo: It's to spare people from having to bear even more unnecessary pain than they already have that we dedicate our lives to fighting. We'll be the last ones who have to shed tears from that pain. Accursed vermin with a berserk bomb... You're the cause of it all that must die.
