Chapter 21 Purely true, noble eyes. Therefore...
(Kiyoku junsui, toutoki hitomi. Yue ni...)

Emi chan's note :
Well I didn't know that Meimi's translations are going to be here as well ^^; So I hope

that I don't write anything contradicting (ack!). Anyway, this note is continuing from the
note I wrote for chapter 19.
 
Near the end of chapter 19, Chiaki give Maron a present. I didn't describe the present because
at the time it didn't seem that important (then I realised something, but I was too lazy to fix
it... ^^;). The present that Chiaki gives Maron is a small cross pendant that looks slightly
familiar after you've actually read KKJ up until now in Ribon. My theory is that Chiaki's
present ends up being Maron's rosary. It looks awfully similar to the one in her new costume
(I think so anyway). So theory number 2 : I think Maron and Chiaki end up working together
maybe? Seeing as Finn betrayed them and if Jeanne gets a new costume, she has to beworking
for someone right? So who else, but with Sinbad (who I guess isn't working for thedevil as
assumed before) and for God! But I still don't know about Access true identity....
Black angel doesn't actually mean he's evil... it's just a type of angel like "pure angel"
and "true angel" =)

Access: As soon as they reached the human world, all 3 of them separated. That's when the
incident started.
[Chiaki is holding a crying/teary Maron]
[Both of them stay silent]

(Access' flashback type story)
Finn: Mmmm~~~~! It's morning in the human world!
[stretches]
Finn: The sun's rays are great! I'm full of pure spirit and energy!!
[an angel comes flying]
Voice: Fi...Finn!!

Finn: Celcia got caught by a human!?
[Toki stands by her with a sweat drop]
(at a temple - the two are in some bushes)
Finn: I can feel a spirit...
Toki: Celcia is probably in there!
Finn: Come to think of it, it's just like Celcia to break the first rule in just one hour and
23 minutes of us being here. By the way Toki... What are you doing?
Toki: I'm enjoying our time alone.
(sml print) Mmmm what a nice smell!
[Toki is smelling Finn's hair]
Finn: Argh~~~~! Let go of me~~~!
Toki: Finn san! For a long time, I have...
Finn: Wah~~~!
[footsteps]
[someone picks up Toki and Finn]
Voice: Hi, you must be Celcia's friends.

[A cool looking temple guy (^^;) introduces himself]
Guy: Hello Toki, and you must be Finn. I'm Kuhara Sagami.
[Finn blushes and her heart flutters]
[There is a loud cracking sound]
Finn: [Thinks] -------!? What...? I just thought I heard a small sound in my heart...
Toki: Finn san!
[Finn realises]
[Finn and Toki jump at Sagami]
Finn: Why you~~~~~~~~~! Give back Celcia!
Toki: Ei! Yah! Toh!
(small print) Wan! Tan! Men!
(note: The first line are just like attack sounds and the line in small print is wan tan men,
a type of noodle dish ^^)
[Sagami doesn't say anything as Toki and Finn bite his finger]
[Sagami smiles]
Sagami: I didn't kidnap Celcia. I'm just taking care of her. Don't worry.
[another crack]
Finn: [thinks] There's that sound again.... why....

(in a room in the temple -- Celcia is on a table)
Celcia: Finn! Toki!
Finn: Celcia! I heard you fainted! Are you okay?
Celcia: I'm sorry~~~~! The air in the human world didn't seem to suit me and I fainted!
(small print) My pure spirit is zero!
Finn: [taking a piece of her hair] All right.
Sagami: [thinks] Hair?
[Finn's hair glows]
[Celcia glows too]
Celcia: Wow! What great pure spirit! As one would expect from Finn!
[Sagami stares]
[Finn turns around]
Finn: Sagami! You saved Celcia. Sorry for biting you...
Sagami: That's all right. This is nothing..
[Put his finger in a small tub of water]
[The cut heals]
Finn and Toki: ! [thinks] The cut disappeared...?
Finn: Toki, that warer...
Toki: There is some pure spirit in it. That could be the reason why he can see angels...

He is helping God, but even so he looks like a person with much merit.
 
[Sagami looks up and smiles. The cracking sound comes again]
Finn: Toki... Did you hear a sound?
Toki: No.
Finn: [thinks] I wonder what this feeling is.... My heart is beating so fast.

Finn: [explaining to Sagami] The "pure spirit" is something like an angel's life. It's so
valuable that we could die if we have none!
Celcia: I almost did!
Finn: Also, depending on an angel's strength and rank, the maximum amount of pure spirit we
have can vary!
Sagami: Okay, so in other words... If we say Celcia's maximum amount of strength was 100,

if she loses some then no matter how many times she recovers, she won't have more than 100.
If we say Finn's maximum is 150, then when she recovers, hers will be 150 so she'll be stronger
than Celcia...
Finn and Celcia: [with thumbs up] Yes! That's right!!!
Finn: We store our pure spirit in our hair. So the more silver it shines, the more is in the
hair. Also, the more whiter the hair is, it's a barometer of how strong the angel is.
Sagami: What about you Finn? You have long, pea green hair.
[Finn blushes and sits in the corner]
Celcia: [whispers] Finn's hair colour comes from a sudden mutation.
(small print) She gets bothered by it.
Finn: [thinks] So it's funny colour...
[Toki watches as Sagami touches Finn's hair]
Sagami: [smiles] Ah, it's a very beautiful colour.
Finn: [thinks] Sagami... Thanks! [smiles]
[Toki frowns]

(in the garden)
Toki: Finn san! Seeing as Celcia is better now, let's leave soon.
Finn: No! Breaking the rules is above preparation! That person... he seems interested

in holy powers and helping people is a matter of course seeing as we're God's helpers.
[Toki frowns and Celcia calms him down]
Toki: But that holy water... No normal human could make "holy water". We should be careful...
Finn: He said that the water was from all God's power from the temple. We'll be fine!
Oh look, there's someone coming! He said lots of people came to get holy water from here.
[Finn smiles admiringly]
Finn: People with illnesses or people with worries... He said he wanted to make more holy
water for those people. Sagami is a wonderful and great person. When I'm with him
my heart beats fast.
Toki: I think it's pointless falling in love with him. [blushes]
Finn: No no no~~~! That's not it! Finn doesn't...
Toki: He has a lover!
[Toki shows Finn a photo of a sweet looking girl]
Toki: He had this photo decorating his desk!? Surely...
Voice: That's my younger sister.
[Sagami is behind Toki and Finn who have sweat drops]

(back at the temple)
Sagami: My younger sister Natsuki died three years ago at the age of sixteen. Since then,

I've lived here alone.
Finn: [nudging Toki] Idiot!
Toki: ....
Sagami: She was a very nice girl. Gentle... honest....
Celcia: Then she might have become an angel.
Sagami: Angel?
Finn: Yup. An angel is someone who was pure and died.

Test: Usually when humans are born, they receive a power from God called "life". If they
increase the power, then they can change into "spirit" which is able to reincarnate. But normal
people use up their power because of the hardships during their life and so "life" disappears
also. But if a person has even a little bit before they die... for example if a newborn baby
dies, God has given them a little bit of power so they are able to become an "angel".

Finn: People who have lived with pure hearts have that much "merit" so they may be an

angel who has great powers. Sagami... We're told that "angels" who collect enough
holy power may one day turn human. When they become human, it's said that they'll be born
near people they were  close to in their past life... So you'll probably see her again! If you
keep thinking that you want to see her.
[Sagami smiles]
Sagami: Thanks.
Finn monologue: You'll probably be an angel too, Sagami. You're gentle and warm...
Just like the sun. Why does my heart flutter so much?
Toki: Give him your holy power!? No Finn san! We're here in the human world to collect more
holy power. Do you want to defy God's will?
Finn: But Sagami pleaded with me. He said lots of people were coming to get holy water today...
He said there wasn't enough from what he's got... He's troubled. I can't leave it alone.
[Celcia and Toki think]
Celcia: I suppose it can't be helped.
Toki: Celcia!? You're both too nice!
Celcia: We've been taken care of by Sagami san. It'll be okay if it's only a bit.
[Toki frowns]
Toki: [to Finn] I love you
[Finn's heart flutters]
Toki: Please don't do anything for him that will risk your life! Or do you like Sagami that much!?
Finn: N..no Toki! It's not that. Let go!
Toki: [grabs her shoulders] Don't try and hide it, tell me the truth! Finn san!
Finn: .... ! Sorry, Sagami will be waiting. I have to go!
[Finn runs off]
Toki: Finn san!!
[the cracking sound comes again and gets louder]
Finn monologue: The sound echoing in my heart is getting louder... It won't stop...
What is this!?

(in the gardens, near a cave)
Finn: Sagami-----------! Sagami----------!
That's funny, maybe he isn't here yet. This is the meeting place right?
(flashback) Toki: Or do you like Sagami that much!?
Finn: That's not it. Sorry Toki... The person I really love is...
Finn monologue: Not Sagami, but------...
[rocks from the cave crack and crumble]
[Finn realises]
[rocks come tumbling down]
[Finn screams]
[Finn gets up with scratched and grazed skin]
Finn: Oh no! What am I going to do? I have to quickly....
[Finn stares]
[water drips]
[There is a girl frozen in ice]
[Finn stares again]
Finn: [thinks] A girl in ice... She's....
Finn: Natsuki san.....? What's she doing here?
[water drips]
Finn monologue: The melted water turns into holy water... It can't be!
[the loud cracking sounds come again]
Finn monologue: The sound won't stop. [crack] It gets louder. [crack]
What? What's wrong with me!? [pauses] Me.... [CRACK] Me-----!?
[Finn stares hard at Natsuki]

[footsteps]
Voice: So you've seen it...
Sagami: You see, even after she died, Natsuki is protecting this place. She gave herself to
God to create the holy water. So you too will....
Finn: No! Natsuki didn't just die, she was murdered by you!
(past flashback)
The holy water underground the temple... The water heals many illnesses and was said

to even rid the heart of worries. Humans paid large sums of money for the holy water.
But that strange ice melted slowely and the water soon reached the bottom. And then,
Sagami suggessted a thought to Natsuki who had fallen ill...
Finn: He said "Be a human sacrifice in the ice and increase the holy water"
(past flashback)
Everything was for money... And so Natsuki lost her life...
Sagami: How do you know...
Finn: Because I am Natsuki! Older brother!! (oniisan)
[Sagami grins, then laughs]
Sagami: Is that so? Then no need for small talk. Give up yourself for me again Natsuki!
Just as these two did!!
 
[Sagami shows Toki and Celcia in ice]
Finn: Celcia! Toki!
Sagami: From now on, these two will help me.
Finn: [shudders] No...
Sagami: Your hair is special and it can store more holy power than white hair can.
And you're a very high ranking angel because you grew up pure then died. If I add your
hair to the holy water it may hold more power than before...
[Sagami moves his hand to Finn]
Finn: No! Let me go!
[Finn flies off]
Sagami: Natsuki!

Finn: [thinks] The sound in my heart that's been cracking since I met Sagami was

a warning signal to say that my life was in danger! Toki and Celcia died because of me!
Why.... What can I do!!
[Finn opens a door to a room where many people are sitting]
Finn: !
Sagami: See... There are many people wanting the holy power. Have some compassion.
[Finn stares]
Finn: [thinks] help!

(Back in Heaven)
Access: Damn! I was punished so severely!
[Access' hair is cut short]
Access: All I did was chop down trees and cleared one mountain. They didn't have to

lock me up in the temple for 3 days. [thinks] Hm? That's true angel Rilu sama. Who's
he talking to?
Rilu: Oh no! Finn will....
[Access is alert]
[Access runs in the room]
Access: What's wrong with Finn!?
Rilu: Access! No!!
Access monologue: The water mirror... it reflects what goes on in the human world... what...

[Sagami is about to cut her hair]
Finn: No! Help! Help! ACCESS-------------!!!
Access: Finn-------!!

[Finn's hair is cut]
[Finn is staring in shock]
[Access stares in shock]
[Rilu turns away]

Finn monologue: My power is increasing. It won't stop...
[There is loud rumbling]
Sagami: Wh...what?
Finn monologue: It won't stop!!
[Finn glows]
[There is a huge explosion]

Text: Although she was a pure angel, her hair had the power of a true angel and at the
instant her hair was cut, the power exploded. Many humans died. God lost much of his power.
For this serious crime -------...

Voice: Pure angel Finn Fish. I sentence you to be banished from this garden.
Access: Let me see Finn! Please!!
An angel: It's too late! She's heading to the gate of extinction.
Access: .....!? [cries] No... I don't want it to end like this... Finn...
Access monologue: Not being able to say "I love you" or "I'm sorry"
--------

[Finn pauses]
Finn monologue: Gate of extinction. A white gate that returns everything to nothingness.

If you walk through it, you will disappear. This body, this life... The end of me as well.
 
[Finn is about to step through it]
Voice: Wait.
[Finn turns her head]
Voice: There's a place for you here. Come.... Finn Fish.

(back to the apartment in present time)
Access: Finn took the Devil's hand and broke the rules to go through Hell's gate. She chose
the path of being a banished angel so she could live.
[Maron is teary, but calm]
