"Come on. Go ahead. Kill me."
James kept smiling as everyone was aiming at him.
"Kill the unarmed guy like cowards. After all, you're terrorists. You don't care about honor.
And you, Ryujiro Kurogane. You call yourself a samurai? If that's what the samurai were like.. Then I'm glad that I was involved in the massacre.
Coward piece of shits have to be killed, right?"
Ryujiro hesitates and slowly puts Kurogane down.
"What do you want.."
James: "Not gonna kill me? I thought you were the biggest coward I've ever seen.
Well.. If I had been permitted.. then I would've killed you in an instant.
But I'm afraid that I can't kill you.
So instead.. I'll just break you into pieces.
I challenge you to a fight.. without weapons."
Ryujiro breathes slowly as his hesitation rises.
"A fight.."
- "Yeah."
"What did you mean that you aren't permitted to kill me?"
- "My Lord said that uh... 'If he has come this far.. then I want to kill him myself. It'll be so interesting.. ending the last of their kind with my own hands'.. That's what he said.
I wish I could kill you.
But you're lucky.. Ryujiro Kurogane."
Ryujiro puts his Kurogane aside.
"Come on then.. I'm ready."
