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.
In truth, I'm not in any position
to appear before you in person...
في الحقيقة، لا يحقّ لي أن أظهر
...أمامك شخصيّاً
Eigentlich müsste ich mich
dir gegenüber nicht persönlich zeigen,
En verdad, no estaba en condiciones
de mostrarme ante ustedes
En verdad, no estoy en condiciones
de acudir a veros en persona,
Après tous ces événements,
A essere sincero,
Eu não deveria poder me
apresentar diante de vocês,
Думаю, понимаешь,
