In order to obtain cooperation from Retsu Kudou to capture Gongjin Zhou, Tatsuya, Miyuki and Minami visit Nara, the home of the Kudou Family. Retsu Kudou readily accepts Tatsuya's offer and introduces him to his grandson, Minoru. Minoru is one year Tatsuya's junior, and although he is physically weak, he is said to be a very powerful magician. At the dinner table, Minoru hears that Tatsuya and his friends are looking for a traditional magic user and offers his help. The next day, as Tatsuya and the others are scouting the Traditionalists' base in Nara under Minoru's guidance, they are attacked by the Traditionalists at Nara Park.
I've been frail since I was born.
كنتُ واهناً منذ ولادتي
Ich bin seit meiner Geburt
ziemlich kränklich,
Yo nací con una salud frágil,
Yo nací con una salud frágil,
À cause de ma santé fragile,
j’ai pour habitude d’être absent.
Sono debole di costituzione fin dalla nascita,
Tenho um corpo fraco e costumo
faltas bastante nas aulas.
К сожалению, я с рождения
очень болезненный…
