Chapter 14 - Chapter 14 : The Six-Fold Edge

Strike: Sir, I need a moment.

Berral: Why? What's wrong?

Strike: I need to find my sword too.

Brook: What do you mean by that?

Strike: Well... to be honest, I tucked it away so safely that I've forgotten where I put it.

Berral: Well, hurry up!

Strike: Found it!

Brook: Is it in that box?

Strike: Yes, it's in here. I'm opening it now.

Brook: Whoa!

Berral: Alright, Strike, take your sword. Let's get out of here.

Strike: Yes, sir!

[Scene Shift: At the Demon's Side]

Clain: What happened? Why haven't you left yet?

Glance: My Lord, my preparations are finally complete. We will be departing in just a few moments.

Clain: Fine. But this time, you must capture that girl. If you fail, I won't let you off easy.

Glance (Fearfully): Understood, sir! Everyone, move fast! We must bring that girl back today at any cost!

Demons: Yes, Master!

[Scene Shift: The Other Side]

Brook: By the way, sir, by now those two boys must have grown up quite a bit.

Berral: Yes, that's likely the case.

Strike: Brook, tell me... did you ever get married or not?

Brook: Not yet... but once we defeat the Clain, then maybe I'll think about that.

Strike: Haha, alright, that works too.

Berral: Quiet down. We're almost there.

[Scene Shift: Feran and Rezo's Side]

Feran: It's been three days since Dad left.

Rezo: Yeah, but Uncle should be back soon.

Feran: I hope so. I'm just worried that there might be a raid while they're gone.

Rezo: True. Come on, let's just keep training for now.

Feran: Right—let's go.

[Transition: After some time...]

Berral: We've arrived.

Brook: Wow, sir! In five years, so much has changed here.

Strike: Brook, look! They're eating something over there!

Berral: Wait a minute. Let's go home first. I'll make sure you guys get fed there.

Brook: As you say, sir.

Strike: Is that the training area?

Berral: Yes, that's the one. Look.

Brook: What?

Berral: Feran! Rezo! Come over here!

Strike: They've grown so much... I didn't even recognize them at first sight!

Feran: Yes, Dad! Hello, Uncle!

Rezo: Hello, Uncle!

Brook: Hey kids! How have you been?

Rezo: We're doing well, Uncle. How are you?

Brook: We're fine too.

Berral: Alright boys, keep your training going. I'm going inside to make them something to eat.

Feran: Yes, Dad!

Berral: Listen... an attack could happen here at any time. We have to stay alert and prepared.

Strike: I understand.

Berral: Come on, let's sit here. I'll go to bringsome food. Sharlet!

Sharlet: You're back!

Berral: Yes. Go make something to eat quickly.

Sharlet: Yes, I'll go make it right now.

Berral: After you eat, you will take some rest. Then we get back to work.

Brook: Understood, sir. Strike: Right behind you.

Berral: I'm heading out now. I need to go check on the children's training. 

Rezo: Feran! Uncle is here!

Feran: Yeah, let's go meet him.

 Berral: So, boys, how is the training coming along?

Feran: It's going great!

Rezo: Yes, Uncle, we're making progress.

 Berral: Listen. I've managed to recruit two sword holders. Only one remains. Once we find him, all six Sword Holders will finally be united. I just hope we aren't raided before then... if they hit us now, the losses would be devastating.

Feran: Yes, Dad, we'll be careful.

Berral: You can handle the lesser demons, sure... but if Glance or Glare show up, you won't know what to do.

Rezo: If they show up, we'll take Hakunji and run!

Feran: We have to protect her.

Berral: Very good. Now go get some rest.

Feran: Dad, we're going to meet Hakunji now.

Berral: Fine, but come home quickly.

[At the House]

Roshi: So, you kids are finally back.

Rezo: Yes, Mom, we're back.

Feran: Hakunji!

Hakunji: Feran? I hear your voice... I'm over here!

Feran: Come on, Rezo, let's go to Hakunji.

Roshi: Go on, boys. I'll bring you something to eat in a bit.

Feran: Thanks, Aunty!

Hakunji: Come sit here... stay right here with me.

[Scene Shift: The Villains Closing In]

Glance: Don't let any of them go! As long as we don't find that girl, keep searching! Once we find her, we take her and leave.

Demons: Yes, Master!

Glance: ATTACK!
