You...

It seems you were not
able to stop her...

What're you talking about?
We're just getting warmed up.

You just sit and watch like a good boy.

Yuri... Don't be rude!
He lent us the sword!

Yeah, you're right.

Why...?

Hm? “Why” what?

Why do you smile
at a time like this?

I'm just a wild and carefree kinda guy.

Foolishness...

Heh, can't help it,
I guess. I was
born like this.

...Let's go.

...We can tell.

...?

On the outside, he might not
get angry, or flustered, or
cry, but...we can tell.

And right now, he's so
frustrated it's all he
can do not to scream.

But Yuri keeps all that hidden away,
so it looks like there's nothing wrong.

And for me, now, when I see no hope at all...
his attitude is why I can still stand up and fight.

...

Karol, what's the hold up?!

I'm coming!

...Why are you
telling me this?

...Yeah, you're right.
Someday I'll tell him myself.

Someday...

True friendship...

However, the time will come
when hope turns to despair...
