" The stigma of the wind, marked on the one who has been entrusted with the entire world's atmosphere by the Spirit King of the Wind.
A blast of wind in my heart Tatta hitotsu no itami ga omokute Hashiri dasu kanjo kurayami wo kakeru Kioku ga kagi wo hazushita Blast of wind Kono mama unmei wa mizu no you ni hitori deni ugoki hajimeru Nikushimi ni dakare hontou no kagayaki shirazuni kono te wa yogosare tsuzukete yuku no ka Mata yume mireru ka kikasete A blast of wind in my heart softly blowing through my heart Tsui-Ling I wasn't born to be eaten by a devil Yagami-san? Y-Yagami-san! Where are you going? W-Wait! Tsui-Ling Ren-kun! Where are we going next? Shopping? "All you can sing" Karaoke? Or to my room? Just kidding! Oh, stop it, Kanon!! S-Suzuhara-san, it's hard to walk this way.
Get away from Ren already! What are you doing? Ren, let's ignore a sleazy girl like her and go to the game arcade or something! Who are you calling sleazy? You're a gorilla who's escaped from the zoo! Who are you calling a gorilla? Y-You two, just calm down.
Let's get along, okay? I've been looking for you, Suzuhara.
Remember you promised me you'd go sing karaoke with me today? I thought I turned that down pretty clearly, Takamatsu-kun! Call me Takashi! I'll call you Kanon, too! Hey, I didn't know he asked you out on a date! You don't need to worry about us.
Come on.
Just go.
Owww! Serizawa-kun! A-Are you okay? Let me tell you something! I have no intention, whatsoever, of going out with you! It's really annoying to be followed by you! So you're playing hard to get, huh? What? A stubborn girl like you just can't bring herself to say, "I like you," you know.
You don't mean to, but you can't help giving me the cold shoulder, right? I can tell, Kanon.
H-Hey, let me go! Cut it out.
Takamatsu-kun, was it? Can't you see you're bothering Suzuhara-san? Ren-kun! What the hell is your problem? Don't let it go to your head just because you're good-looking! Give me a break! Ren-kun's face isn't the only thing that's good about him! He's smart and very athletic, too! Someone like you has no business dissing him like that! You two It seems that we do agree on something, huh, you stupid gorilla! Yeah, I guess you can say nice things every now and then, huh, you sleazy wench! Don't you mess with me, you bitch! Ren, that was great! Ren-kun! You did it for Kanon! Hey, you should never raise your hand against girls.
L-I'm going to make you pay for this! I'll I'll tell my big brother on you! He can finish all of you in one shot! Because my big brother has superpowers! S-Superpowers? Are you being serious? Keep on laughing.
Sooner or later you'll learn how hopelessly weak you are compared to him! Ren-kun, let's go! Y-Yeah.
I'll never forgive you, even if you apologize to me in tears! "Cake Buffet " "45-Minutes All-You-Can-Eat!!""1500 Yen""15 New Limited-Time-Only Seasonal Cakes" Now that they've arrested Utsumi-kun, everyone at the tennis club can finally rest assured, huh? Job well done, Nanase-chan! Thanks.
Now if we can just figure out what made Utsumi-kun that way, this case'll be closed! Yukari, are you seriously going to help Detective Tachibana? Yeah What's the matter, Ayano-chan? You look upset.
I'm just speechless! Aren't you scared? These people can cast magic and curses! They have abnormal abilities! You have abnormal abilities, too, Ayano-chan! Yeah, I guess you're right.
Ayano-chan? I have the power to take someone's life instantly.
I wouldn't blame people for being afraid of me.
So you don't have to force yourself to hang out with me or try to get involved in my business, you know.
It's okay if you want to keep a distance from me That's not something friends do, you know! I like you a lot, Ayano-chan! What? Because you have a strong mind that isn't overwhelmed by your strong power! You can use the power that you are burdened with for everyone! You're completely different from the people like Utsumi-kun.
We trust you, Ayano-chan.
Right! It would be insulting to put you in the same category with them.
Oh Um I want to help you, Ayano-chan.
Because we're friends! Right? That's right! Don't hesitate to call me when you need me, Ayano.
Okay! I'm really blessed with great friends You wait! Hmph! If you have problems, we'll settle them in a battle! I won't tolerate any more violence! What the Miracle Shining Star Flash! That wasn't spirit magic or Tao magic or black magic Just who are you? C-chan is a magical girl! Don't you know that? I'm the next star princess about to break onto the scene, Miracle C! There are certainly some fascinating forms of magic in Japan Hey!! What are you doing, Catherine? Kannagi maiden? Don't tell me you're the source of the recent incidents! How insulting! If you get in my way, I'll arrest you for interfering with a police officer in the line of duty! Police officer? Detective Tachibana recruited me, and I am now subcontracting for the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Data Unit! "Acting assistant detective" "Catherine McDonald" the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Data Unit! Wh-Wh-What did you say? Evil in this country will be wiped out by the power of McDonald justice! Plus, I gain a work visa so I can legally operate in Japan! It's two birds with one stone! Detective Tachibana I understand that the special unit is short handed, but this is just Hey! Remember you're right in the middle of a battle with C-chan right now! Stop ignoring me! Metatron! Hmm I didn't know you were a player, too.
You must be the girl who's been acting up in this area lately! Now I want you to explain to me how you got that power! How I got it? You two got the power at Pandemonium, too, right? Pandemonium? It's already rare enough to find a female player, but now we've got three of them all at once! This is super rare! But We need only one heroine, and that's C-chan! Eternal Lovely Shooting Star Attack! No way C-chan is out.
What was that about? It's hard to believe she's a proper magic user She said something about some "Pandemonium," right? Hello? Yes.
The girl in that report is now in my custody.
No, that was a piece of cake! What? Kazuma did? Yes.
Well then, I'll be back soon.
What happened to Kazuma? I'm not obligated to tell you that! What did you say? Now I have work to do, so if you'll excuse me You have a nice day! Hey, wait a minute! Catherine! Oh, it's Kirika.
Don't give me that "Oh, it's Kirika" routine! Well, I finally got through to you What happened to you? Where are you right now? Right now? I don't know where I am Hey, you need to get it together! Because of you, the man whom we finally caught got away! I see.
Let's just regroup.
Come to the Kannagi mansion.
Ayano-chan is going to help us now.
Yeah.
Thanks.
What the hell is going on? You were really amazing earlier, Ren! Are you taking some kind of martial arts lessons? Oh, no I just kind of snapped back there It was the power of love, wasn't it? L-O-V-E! Hey, will you come with us for a sec? Here! I won't let you get away this time, you punks! It's too late to apologize now.
Now my brother is going to execute you! What the hell? You're the one after us? So you brought your brother for real?! Jeez, that was totally a waste of time! Now I'm hungry! Wh-What did you say? That's enough, Takashi.
You let me take care of the rest.
Big brother, I'm counting on you! Kick all their butts with your superpowers! Let me take care of them.
Regret what you did in the next world, you brats! I-Is that real? There it is! That's Kiyoshi-san's "Fire Bullet"! Turn them into charcoal! Make it a big one again! I've got this! Eat this deadly technique! Fire Bullet! Wh-What did you just do? What do you think you're doing? I can't believe you'd use your magic in public, and attack civilians with it, even! How could you call yourself a magic user?! What? What the hell is a "magic user"? Anyway, I didn't know that you were also a player.
That simplifies matters.
I'll kick your ass, and get experience points out of you! Phoenix Wing! Huh? Y-You're damn naive if you think an attack like that can defeat me, the man known as "Fire Master"! That is a youma He doesn't know that he's been possessed by a youma, he just just thinks that he's acquired power.
B-Big brother He blocked your Phoenix Wing! Yeah, he must be a top-tier player, just like me.
That Vesalius! He told me that I was still the only top-tier fire attribute player! He must've lied to me! Vesalius Is that the one who made a youma possess this man? I'm the only "Fire Master" this game needs! Eat my ultimate secret technique! Flame Vortex! Flame of purification! Wh-What the hell You scared me! E-Eat it this time for sure! Flame Vortex! Huh? Am I out of MP? If that's the case [MP=Magic Point.]
Fire Bullets! Damn! Come on, come out! Hey! It's not going to work.
I erased your flame, along with the youma that possessed you.
What? This is game over! It's time to go back to reality! What Hey, all of you! Don't leave me! D-Don't kill me! R-Ren Ren-kun What did you just do? Oh, that was, um Ren! Ren-kun! That was so awesome! That was so awesome, Ren! You're definitely the kind of man I thought you were! You were way cool! I love you, Ren-kun! O-O-O-Okay! Just calm down, you two, okay? Tell me Just where did you acquire that power? Pandemonium? It's a web site on the internet.
I just happened to find it when I was surfing.
There was barely any content shown, and all I saw was "Do you want power?" There was barely any content shown, and all I saw was All of a sudden, the screen turned white and I sort of lost consciousness.
When I woke up I had already acquired this power.
Most likely the style of the web site is something that imitates a youma summoning ceremony.
A contract signing over your soul, which gets fulfilled without your knowledge Right Under the terms of the contract, they made you download a youma converted into digital data on the internet How can we find that web site called "Pandemonium"? I don't know.
The first time, I got disconnected from it while I was sleeping After that, I couldn't find it no matter how hard I tried.
No one's ever been able to access Pandemonium twice.
That's what everyone says.
Everyone? There's an online message board where players come and exchange information.
You know, try to guess the true nature of the power, or set up battle times.
What is this "battle"? "Confiscated" When players battle each other, they can gain experience points and level up.
After that, you receive an email from Pandemonium.
When you go up many levels, you get to change your class to upper-tier ones.
"Mail 0042" "From Pandemonium" "You have acquired 251 experience points.
You get to change your class to upper-tier ones.
"Mail 0042" "From Pandemonium" "You have acquired 251 experience points.
They say when you get to that point, You need 1460 experience points to reach the next level.
" You receive an invitation email from Pandemonium then.
You receive an invitation email from Pandemonium then.
So, you've actually gone to Pandemonium? Yeah.
I just walked around everywhere just like the email instructed me And when I realized it, there was a mansion with a sign saying "Pandemonium" right in front of me.
What the hell? Maybe you were just dreaming or something.
I'm serious! I actually got the higher-class power there! From a guy named Vesalius! Welcome to Pandemonium, chosen one! Your power has reached the appropriate level for you to make further progress.
Do you wish to change your class? I remember seeing the whole city way below me.
It felt like I was up in the sky.
[In Final Fantasy games, you get an airship after a certain amount of points.
.]
You don't mean, you were on an airship or something? I don't think we were moving.
And Oh, yeah, there were two huge towers right next to the mansion.
Two towers It was like, the mansion was standing right in between those towers.
What is that? A building with towers attached to it? Detective Tachibana.
Ayano-chan.
Were you waiting here to greet me? Did Kazuma do something? I'll tell you about it inside.
There's nothing here.
You're such an idiot! They're hiding it with the magic, duh! Otherwise, all the players who heard about the rumor would rush to here and demand to change their class, too! It would be totally chaotic! I guess you're right.
What do we do, Ren? I'm sure that big brother would be able to find anything no matter what's hidden there So your big brother is that good of a magic user, huh? Well, I guess we'll be back here some other time then.
Yeah.
I'm hungry.
Let's go eat something, Ren-kun! Ren-kun? I don't know if it's going to work, but if they're hiding there by creating a spatial distortion I will burn it along with that entire space! Ren-kun, did you see that just now? That confirmed it.
Let's hurry up and get out of here.
O-Okay.
Yeah! That was pretty rough for a knock, wasn't it, young man? Ren-kun? Ren? Hey, Ren! Where did you go? What's going on? Where did Ren-kun disappear to? Wh-Why would I know that? Ren! Answer me! Ren! Flash no naka shinkokyuu shita mabataki no kioku Iroasenai youni itsumademo mamoru Kanjita mama sakenda yume akane iro no houkago no sky Ichibyou datte muda ni shitara ima no watashi inai kamo ne Kodomo no koro egaita mirai hashaideru ano hitomi ima mo kono mune de hikari tsuzukeru Koko de koushite namaiki itte suki na fuku kite irareru nomo dare no okage to?

It's okay! I swear we'll rescue Ren for sure! After all, Ren has a super-powerful big brother on his side! Is that Pandemonium? So you're Vesalius? Next time on Kaze no Stigma: "Pandemonium.
