Garo: Red Requiem Page #2

---

Kouga, but maybe it's nothing.

I don't sense any Horrors.

I feel it. There are Horrors here.

Why don't I feel anything?

What was that? Now this place

reeks of Horrors.

Here's your answer.

An invisible force field? Surprising.

This is how the Horrors kept their evil

from being detected.

There's a traitor in our midst.

Only a Makai Priest could do this.

Hikari...

Akaza, there are Horrors

down by the pier!

Its never been this strong before.

Rekka... keep cool.

Same to you.

Wanna get a drink?

You've got a good vibe.

Wanna get out of here?

Kouga, can't we have a little fun?

Pipe down. This isn't my kind of place.

Looking for someone?

There's someone here

who wants to meet you.

This way.

Im starting to get a headache.

This mirror will show you

what you want to see.

What I want to see...

Look into your heart.

Too bad.

I don't have any evil thoughts.

No evil thoughts?

Are you sure?

Rekka.

Father.

So you're this Makai Knight's daughter?

Karma.

You're as courageous as he was.

Rekka.

Father!

Pain... Rekka...

Help me!

Father...

Rekka!

Rekka!

Look away!

Let go!

Get out!

Go!

Karma!

Get off!

Rekka, no!

They're humans, not Horrors.

When they're under the spell

they're just like Horrors.

Enough.

Stop!

You get out too.

What? Im taking down Karma!

As if you could nail me like that.

Stop!

Your armor is in the mirror!

What happened?

Kurusu, start by devouring the girl.

Rekka!

Kouga!

Rekka.

Back off!

Who betrayed us?

What are you talking about?

Who made the force field?

Who helped that beast Karma?

Forgive me.

Why, Akaza?

How dare you.

- Leave him alone!

- Let me go!

Karma murdered my father.

Akaza befriended the enemy!

Rekka.

Master Kouga...

Why do you want to vanquish the Horrors?

Because they're evil.

That's not enough.

Why do Makai Knights risk their lives

fighting Horrors?

And why I shouldnt take you along

and go into battle?

Once you become a full-fledged

Makai Knight, you'll understand.

Don't be hasty, little one.

Your time is still a long ways off.

Boy.

Return to this place after

you've become a strong Knight.

I have a daughter.

She's loud and obnoxious.

But she says when she grows up,

she's going to be a Makai Knight.

But girls can't...

Right. Girls can't become Makai Knights.

However...

every time she says it...

it makes me happy.

A song to comfort the spirits of the war dead.

My daughter likes this song.

That's soothing.

But Im not dead yet.

You know this song?

Its a lullaby for the departed.

I know. I heard it as a boy.

Kouga. Im as bad as Akaza.

I didn't try to protect anyone.

Its my fault your armor was stolen.

I lost myself.

I...

I hate what Ive become.

Im glad I protected you.

Your armor was stolen!

Im... Im not worth protecting.

Don't get it wrong.

I didn't just save your life.

Beyond every individual life...

there are family

and friends

and loved ones.

I fight to protect all those lives.

Rekka... you're strong.

With your strength, you will be able

to protect many others.

lf you perish,

many more lives will be lost.

So, Rekka...

it wasn't just your life

I was protecting.

Kouga, I...

Don't be hasty. Your time will come.

She will be a strong one.

Zaruba, my armor was stolen.

Yeah. That's not good.

What will you do, Kouga?

Can I even call myself a Knight

without my armor?

Well, that's for you to decide.

Im just an enchanted ring. I haven't

been taught how to console humans.

But Kouga, I think you know the ancient

word for hope in the Makai World.

''Garo. '' That's the name I inherited.

Look. They are the victims

of Karma, left in misery.

And before long...

He will follow in their footsteps.

Leave it alone.

We can use it to lure him here.

As you wish.

Ill put a shield around the building.

Its beautiful.

Through this mirror...

I could see my departed wife

and daughter.

I knew they were just illusions.

And yet...

I could see them laughing again.

Before I knew it, I couldn't stop.

I fell right into Karma's trap.

I have informed the Watchdog Command.

Im ready to pay for what Ive done.

I had hoped we could have a drink

together some day.

Dying won't make amends.

You don't have the strength.

The Magic Sword of Luvis.

I kept it hidden so one day

I could use it against Karma.

But now I don't have the courage

to go through with it.

It isn't courageous merely

to accept certain death.

Master Kouga,

let me go to my death.

Your death will just make

Rekka feel worse.

If you really want to make up...

Pass on all you've got to your disciples

before you meet your end.

It seems to be somewhere around here.

Shiguto, you have to be exact.

Cant you locate it properly?

Ill try again.

He knows where they are.

You're right.

I got it. They're in the deserted house

on the pier.

How far is it from here?

Its not far. Ill show you the way.

Rekka.

Don't worry. Ill behave.

I just want to help you.

I know Id feel better

if Rekka were with us.

Kouga, do you have a plan?

The Magic Sword of Luvis.

I borrowed it from Akaza.

If I enter the mirror,

I can get my armor back.

Hold on. What are you saying?

We're not strong enough. Let's wait for

help from the Watchdog Command.

Don't worry. I will return.

Shiguto, you stay here.

Master Kouga.

Im not as strong

as you or Rekka, but...

But, I...

Can you use the notes

from the nether world?

Of course I can.

Shiguto, if you're going to

turn back, do it now.

Who said anything about turning back?

Shiguto, don't do anything rash.

Same to you, Rekka.

Akaza...

Master Kouga.

This should be enough to take care of

any minor Horrors.

I brought everything I could find.

Wow. This is incredible!

Please let me accompany you.

Ill never forgive you, Akaza.

But it's your call, Kouga.

I won't argue with whatever you decide.

Priest...

Please join us.

Thank you very much.

Let's go.

What's with all these evil spirits?

Kouga, it won't be easy finding Karma.

We'll find her faster if we split up.

Master Kouga and Rekka, you go ahead.

Shiguto and I will follow

after we've sealed the entrance.

Shiguto, don't let any of these

evil spirits get out.

Understood.

Ill send a signal if I find Karma.

Let's go.

Akaza!

What was that?

Manifestations of the suffering caused

by being devoured by Karma.

Manifestations?

So Karma uses the misery of those

she devours to fight her enemies.

Unforgivable.

Let's go, Akaza.

Even after Karma graciously

spared your life...

What a fool.

It is you who are foolish.

Kouga! Rekka's giving the signal!

Akaza.

Shion...

Ive painted so many pictures of you.

But it's no use. You...

You're not Shion!

What's your problem?

Constantly muttering ''Shion''.

Creeps me out.

She's dead, isn't she?

You're wrong!

Shion... isn't dead!

What is your desire?

If there's something you desire,

just touch it and see what happens.

Shion...

Ive been waiting for you, Makai Priestess.

You came back to hear more of

yourfatherbegging for mercy?
