Chapter Intermission
Intermission: Sorrow Rain
The scene takes place during a rainy night years ago . Nene is waiting in the middle of a street without an umbrella, and then Kurono arrives while under an umbrella . Nene says that she heard from Nangou that Kurono is finally getting married and congratulates Kurono . Though Nene is genuinely congratulating Kurono, her eyes are filled with anger . She then says that she doesn’t understand why Kurono has to retire from the KOK A-League because of that . The next match will be between Nene and Kurono, and Nene is looking forward to settle the score they were unable to fulfill during the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival . Nene asks if Kurono has become afraid and Kurono says yes . Nene then angrily grabs the collar of Kurono’s suit and asks her why even though she’s Kurono Takizawa the “World Clock” and ranked 3rd in the world . Kurono drops her umbrella during that moment and explains while looking down . She says that she’s not afraid of Nene or herself . After the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, they heard from Nangou and Ryouma that someday they will surpass the limit of their soul . While she was forging herself in order to settle her score with Nene, she saw an image of herself just one step away from passing through a door . She understood that passing through the door will enable her to overcome the fate given to her and it was necessary in order to fight Nene . It was also the same thing Nene saw when she was forging herself for her rematch with Kurono . However, while she was about to pass through that door Kurono heard the voice of her lover Takumi from behind . She realized that achieving “Brute Soul” won’t guarantee if she will remain human and if meeting Takumi was her fate as a person then she doesn’t want to throw it away, including her future as Takumi’s wife . Kurono explains while caressing her lower abdomen . She then says this is her limit and she can’t move forward anymore, and so she decided to retire from the KOK . Nene realizes even though Kurono feels guilty, she doesn’t regret her decision . Nene protests, saying that Kurono’s wish of becoming Takumi’s woman must be a mistake because they had so much fun when they fought in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival . Kurono agrees that giving all of her life to defeat her opponent was fun and felt really ecstatic . However, Kurono can no longer fight like that because she has found something more important than her life and pride . As shown in a pic, Kurono apologizes while bowing her head which causes Nene to have a pain look on her face and tells Kurono to stop because she doesn’t want to look down on her like this . Knowing their paths will never cross again causes tears from Nene’s eyes to flow together with the rain . The next day, Kurono officially announces her retirement from the KOK .
