SPOILER
Everything is happening so fast! The US army troops don't know how to react!
Wait, Orion! Don't just jump in there blindly!
Don't be too hasty, Orion...!
......
Hey... Orion!
Don't fire at the dogs!
Hm?!
What is that dog doing?!
What is it, Orion?!
?!
It snapped?!
Even though it was torn off, it was all right...
...and ran off.
Hey, doggy, come back up!
That thing's an unknown species! There's nothing you guys can do about it!
Aren't you scared of it?!
C'mon... Come up!
Orion, the humans are talking to you...
Get over here! Doesn't seem like there's anything we can do...!
Everyone, keep watch over the crater for the time being!
Don't leave your positions until the special chemistry unit arrives!
Don't do anything rash while I'm away!
Looks like the humans trust us!
They won't hurt us!
But what the heck was that just now?!
Where'd Wanwan disappear to...? And how...?!
.....
Mister, you've seemingly been checking which direction we're going a lot...
You're not heading towards Echigo, are you?!
Heh... You're pretty perceptive, aren't you...
Why didn't you say so sooner?
Something bad is happening in Echigo right now, so it'd be for the best to stay away from there!
A whole lot of animals have come fleeing from that direction...
?!
So if that's where you're headed, you'd best give up!
To tell you the truth, I've got a lot of friends in Echigo that I got indebted to a long time ago...
I'd really like to go there, too...
...but I know I shouldn't, so I won't!
......
You don't agree...? You're not giving up, are you?
In that case, I know a real good shortcut! Hehe...
Shion, is this really the right direction?
Yep! I may have picked this car at random, but it's going just the right way!
Mr. Akame travels like this often.
He's my friend from the Ohu army!
Ah... Akame?!
That's right, Akame of Ohu...
I see... This is how he travels when he needs to get around quickly.
Huh?! You know Akame, mister?
Yes... I used to be a member of the Ohu army myself a long time ago...
...Never mind, you probably won't believe me.
What do you mean?! I believe you! Please tell me all about it!
You sure are a clever boy...
Hey... I already told you that I'm not a kid!
Ah, sorry.
It's all right! After all, you can't see.
Anyway, at this rate we'll reach Echigo in just a few hours!
Huh?!
What?!
Itoigawa - Nagaoka road closed due to disaster
Oh, yeah... I'd heard that Mount Myoushin had stopped erupting, but the highway is still being repaired...
Can't be helped... Let's take some smaller road to Itoigawa!
But first, should we grab a bite to eat at the next rest stop?
Yeah, we should... It's been a while since the last one!
I'll go take a bathroom break first!
Okay! Let's meet at the restaurant then!
Wh-what?!
Where'd these dogs come from?! [oh my goodness Shion's face]
How long have they been there...?!
Uh oh... Well, thanks for the lift!
Mr. Bob, what's the matter? C'mon, hurry up!
.....
It's that guy... He's coming to get his revenge!
Huh?!
What guy...? Crow?
Letting that big brute rest and recover was a mistake!
It won't be over even if we beat him again... Let's split up!
I told you that you should have finished him off!
Mr. Bob, that's awful!
The Ohu army... Rigel was an incredibly kind guy...
And Weed... He could've killed me, but he didn't!
I'm just living garbage... Why...?
I don't get it... Why'd they let me live?! What's their goal...?
First Weed, then Rigel...
And now Bob and Chibi... Everyone who had introduced themselves as members of the Ohu army to Crow had let him live.
Having known nothing of trust or friendship, Crow had lived his life relying on violence and extortion.
He had become fascinated by the way the Ohu army would show kindness to someone like him.
Hm...?!
Where'd they go...?
Looking for me?!
Why'd you follow us? Do you really wanna eat me?!
?!
.......
No matter what, you're still a killer, aren't you...?
Ah... No, I...
Don't play dumb with me!
C'mon, come at me, you bastard!
.....
Huh...?!
Mr. Bob, calm down!
Something's different about him this time!
Actually... Wou... Would you...
!?
Would you two take me as your bodyguard?
What?!
Huh?!
Sidebar: Crow's unexpected proposal has left Bob and Chibi speechless... Should they trust him?! Next issue...!
