With the others’ help, Fay fires the crossbow bolt that kills the mutant worm that they plan to eat. The following day, Fay, Mokona, and Syaoran leave Sakura in Kurogane’s care while they go out for a hunt for a giant worm. The voice coming from the bright ball behind her urges her to wake up before she’s caught in the dream. Sakura, who has been asleep since they got here, is meanwhile dreaming of herself underwater and hears someone tell her that she shouldn’t be here. Collapsing against the wall, Fay laughs and quietly says that that is hard for him. Their conversation gets interrupted by Kusunagi, but Kurogane doesn’t let Fay off the hook so easily and indicates that although Fay’s past has nothing to do with him, he thinks Fay should cut the crap and prepare for the worst. Fay finally admits that he doesn’t want anyone to become miserable by getting involved with him. Kurogane claims that Fay being chased by bad guys has nothing to do with him, but he feels that Fay doesn’t want to get close to anyone, yet Fay was worried about Sakura and Syaoran and got himself involved with them by using his magic. He remembers that Fay didn’t use it when their lives were in danger in Koryo Country and how Fay had said that he was running because he was afraid of a certain person catching him. Kurogane is less concerned about that and questions instead why Fay used magic. Later that night, Fay watches as Syaoran and Sakura sleep and comments on how he hopes that Sakura doesn’t wake up in this world. Unlike other buildings, the Tokyo Government Office hasn’t crumbled, though there is also another source of water underneath the city’s tower. They survived through an underground water vein that wasn’t exposed to the acid because it was under this building – the Tokyo Government Office. While Syaoran is getting bandaged up, Kusunagi explains that there’s been acid rain for 15 years now, making all of the surface water unusable.
Syaoran and company are then led further into the building and go upstairs where they are given a room. The longhaired guy in the back named Kakyou feels that there’s no need to kill them since Kamui hadn’t, and Kakyou is also the guy who decides to help Syaoran with what medical care they can provide. They had thought Syaoran and company was here to take that water, so Fay and Mokona explain that they’re actually from far away. When Kurogane questions what’s underground, one of Kamui’s comrades reveals that there’s water down there. He decides to walk away from the fight to go underground, leaving it up to his subordinates to handle Syaoran’s group. Kamui gets knocked into the ceiling, but he’s unhurt and his eyes suddenly change in shape. After Kamui kicks Kurogane into some rubble, Kurogane responds by almost slicing through Kamui’s neck and using his Shouryuusen attack. The leader of the hooded group, whose name is Kamui, then flies at him and nearly takes off Kurogane’s arm, but Kurogane gets out of the way in time and is able to retaliate. That someone is Kurogane, and he calls for Mokona to give him his sword. They suspect that Syaoran is a thief and shoot one more bolt to finish him off, but someone throws a rock into the arrow before it hits him. Above him appears a hooded group of people, and their leader thinks that Syaoran wants to die since he set foot in here.
He manages to dodge most of them, but he loses his balance and one of them pierces through his left leg. Syaoran goes further inside with Mokona to investigate, and although Mokona can’t detect Sakura’s feather, Mokona does sense a great power underneath them.īefore Syaoran can get any further, he comes under attack by a hail of crossbow bolts. However, they find that the lobby of this building is littered with corpses.
With such a dangerous thing falling all around them, the group runs for shelter inside the one still-standing building nearby. As they’re walking through the desolate landscape, Syaoran spots a rock that is rounded on top, and the reason for this becomes clear when it starts raining a moment later: the rain burns through things. In any case, the group finds themselves in a damaged building that’s surrounded by more ruins.
Syaoran blames himself for not considering enough of how to get out of the library, and he can’t remember what happened after he got thrown by the library’s watchdog. When Mokona asks, Fay tries to justify his use of magic by saying that it used sound and thus was different from what he used before. Having barely escaped the country of Record thanks to Fay’s magic, Syaoran and company arrive in a new world.
