Prologue: Memories of a Distant Day

Standing in the middle of a dojo dyed in the color of mad red, the girl called out to the man before her again and again .

Her voice was filled with distress, but the grizzled middle-aged man laughed cheerfully .

"Hahaha, it's still a hundred years too soon for an opponent to hold back against me . Enough, just come . "

"But Father . Lately your body has been . "

"That's why I want to entrust this technique to you, before I lose the ability to hold a sword completely . "

Swaying, the middle-aged man, the girl's father, readied the shinai[1] .

"Since I'm no Blazer, I can't be of any help to you but with the sword . This technique is the result of my entire life as a swordsman . It's something I've never shown anyone . It will definitely be of use to you . Accept it, Ayase . "

The eyes of the father looking straight at his daughter shined in a warmer color than the mad red of the evening sun .

There was no way she could refuse after being gazed at with such an expression, because she was loved so much .

"I'll do it Father . "

And so, the girl

" . "

Killing off her unease, she materialized her soul as an Armament', a katana with a scarlet blade redder than sunset and more vivid than blood . Gripping the katana in both of her hands as if she was squeezing it lightly, the girl dashed forward, aiming at her father who stood before her . And just as her father desired, she swung down her sword .

It was something that had happened long ago .

But right now, she had already lost everything . Nothing remained with her . She could not protect anything .

Only the scene from long ago still burnt brightly in her eyes .
