Lex (Screaming at the top of his lungs, pointing his finger toward Kazuma's eyes):
"From your eyes, I always knew! I saw a hidden monster lurking, preying on everyone!"
Lex (In a loud, demanding voice):
"Answer me! Why are you so silent? Do you have nothing to say in defense of your crime?"
Kazuma looked at him with eyes carrying deep disappointment and boundless despair. Tears began to stream down his face, washing over the blood on his cheek, without uttering a single word.
Lex lunged at him and rained down angry punches.
Lex (Screaming with every punch):
"I won't let you live! You will die here! You will die!"
Kazuma offered no resistance and fell to the ground. Lex sat on his chest, delivering violent, vengeful blows to his face.
Lex:
"You will regret this! You will regret it, you bastard! Damn you all!"
Lex finally stopped hitting, panting heavily.
Kazuma looked up with wide eyes, holding a vacant, psychopathic gaze, as if he had transcended the feeling of pain.
Kazuma (With a dead calm, echoing Jin's philosophical mantra against him):
"I am a weak insect... I will not achieve my goal."
Arrival of Rin and Touji:
Rin and Touji were seen running at maximum speed toward the location.
Rin (In a loud, alarmed voice):
"Get away from him!"
Rin grabbed Lex's shoulder and violently pulled him away with every possible physical and mental force.
Rin approached Kazuma, looking at him with profound sorrow.
Rin (With extreme quietness, seeking to reach the depth of his pain):
"Did you lose?"
Tears streamed from Kazuma's eyes like burning embers. He placed his right wrist over his eyes, trying to hide his vulnerability.
Kazuma (With a searing sob, his voice broken):
"I was never his match. I didn't stand a chance..."
Rin narrowed her eyes in focus.
Kazuma (Dwelling on his self-condemnation):
"I lost my humanity, and despite all that, I achieved nothing. I am just a rock floating on a vast sea; a meaningless existence, powerless over its own fate."
Rin lifted her neck and contemplated the horizon for a moment, gathering her wisdom.
Rin (Her voice filled with empathy):
"I feel for you, Kazuma. Especially since you were defeated by the one closest to you, and the blow came from the heart of your trust."
Kazuma (With a dead calm):
"I am just a pawn... in the face of this inevitable destiny."
Rin (With philosophical resolve, countering Jin's statement):
"Destiny can be changed, Kazuma! But that has one condition: that you first change yourself. For destiny will never deviate from its course unless you work diligently to change the core of your being."
Kazuma tried to get up, his eyes suddenly widened, but his body failed him, and he fell again. Touji rushed over, while Rin supported him and then placed her palm on his forehead.
Rin:
"His temperature is very high."
Touji (With a grim expression):
"We must take him to the hospital immediately."
Touji lifted Kazuma onto his back and started walking away.
In a Dark Room (Jin's Hideout)
The blue crystal (The Texxus Crystal) lay inside a small container filled with an acidic blue liquid. Jin stood still before Max and Carla.
Carla (Calmly):
"You are approaching your goal step by step."
Jin (Narrowing his eyes, speaking of his objective):
"My goal will not be fully achieved until Kazuma's complete demise is secured."
Max:
"The poor guy... you tortured him."
Jin (With cold serenity):
"I am like the king of this world. Kazuma is merely my slave. When I meet the conditions entirely, then humanity will witness the end of its freedom."
(The camera focuses on the glowing blue crystal in the darkness.)
Returning to the Garden (The Waiting Area)
Harry was sitting with Tami.
Tami (With pale eyes):
"I don't know... I have a deep feeling that I was a tool in Jin's filthy plan."
Harry:
"You didn't make a mistake alone. Everyone contributed to Jin's success."
Tami:
"If it weren't for my copying ability, Jin wouldn't have succeeded in igniting the revolution in the first place."
Harry (Seriously):
"Jin won't rely on you or your ability. He relies on his mind, which produces dozens of alternative plans."
Tami stared at Harry, questioning him.
Harry:
"Am I lying to you, Tami? Jin can find any solution to any problem by himself."
Just then, Touji arrived, carrying Kazuma on his back. Harry quickly stood up.
Touji:
"He lost consciousness."
Tami quickly took Kazuma and carefully placed him on the ground.
Tami (Calmly):
"He has serious injuries."
Rin (Panicked):
"What should we do?"
Tami (Quietly):
"In the hideout I took you to before, there's a doctor who can help."
Touji:
"But there is no hospital here. Everything is destroyed!"
Tami (Calm):
"The doctor is in the cave. It's a good hideout."
In the Cave (The Secret Hideout)
The doctor was examining Kazuma carefully.
The Doctor:
"Unfortunately, he suffered severe injuries and bone fractures. We conclude that he will enter a coma."
Rin put her hand over her mouth and sighed in despair. Touji clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Harry:
"Can you estimate how long he will remain in a coma?"
The Doctor (Calmly):
"It depends on the circumstances and his condition, but our patient's state is very poor. He may remain in a coma for about three months or more."
Rin closed her eyes in deep sadness.
Touji:
"We should never have let him fight his brother."
The doctor looked at the black spot that was beginning to disappear on Kazuma's body.
The Doctor (Calmly):
"You cannot inquire about Kazuma's condition without our permission."
Rin:
"Why are you preventing us from doing that?"
The Doctor (Quietly):
"That black spot that was viscous... we don't know what will happen to him because of it. He must be monitored."
Harry:
"In short, that spot is very dangerous, and it might make him attack you at any moment."
Tami:
"Now we must bring people out of their hiding places to start rebuilding the village again."
The Doctor:
"You may see Kazuma one last time before the long coma begins and the quarantine is enforced."
Rin slowly leaned toward the bed, taking Kazuma's hands into her own, then placing them on her forehead in a gesture of profound grief. She closed her eyes as she spoke in a quiet voice filled with regret.
Rin (Softly):
"I am sorry for my failure to help you, Kazuma. It seems all I do in crucial moments is apologize."
Touji (Closing his eyes tightly, his face set with determination):
"Kazuma, when you wake up... we will kill Jin together. That is my promise."
In the destroyed village, despite the ruin of the houses, people were expressing their happiness at their liberation. Children ran with unparalleled joy, and some elders sat quietly talking.
Tami stood outside the cave, contemplating the scene.
Harry (Smiling lightly):
"See? You won't get entangled in anything. Look at how your efforts, despite their initial use, ultimately led to the joy and delight of the people."
Tami (Smiling):
"You're right."
Harry:
"What will you do now? Will we leave again?"
Tami (With pride, resolute on change):
"That was in the past. But now, I will stay here and won't go. I will help rebuild what Jin destroyed."
Harry (Closing his eyes, his hair playing in the wind, agreeing):
"A wise decision."
On a High Rock
The camera shifts to Touji, standing on a high rock, contemplating the horizon filled with the light of the sunset. His hair moved fiercely due to the strong winds.
A sound was heard from behind him. It was Rin.
Rin (Quietly):
"What will you do now? Will you train?"
Touji (Closing his eyes, having made up his decision):
"No, I will return to my island. The Island of Hope."
Rin (Calmly):
"Aren't you a native of this village?"
Touji:
"I am only a visitor. The Island of Hope is my true home."
Touji turned to her and looked into her eyes.
Touji:
"Please, come with me. I will stay there for a whole month, and after that, I will head to the Shamahan Trial. What do you say?"
Rin closed her beautiful eyes for a moment in thought.
Touji:
"Speak quickly, because I'm leaving tomorrow."
Rin (With a clear and steady tone):
"I will go with you. And when we return, we will find Kazuma has regained consciousness."
Touji:
"I know you are wondering about my master, Harry. Don't worry, he doesn't object and has no right to prevent me from traveling."
The wind blew strongly, and fog covered part of the scene, while the sunset glowed with a golden and bloody hue.
And the Coup Arc ends, leaving the villagers happy and reassured, and announcing the beginning of Touji and Rin's new journey into the unknown.
