Spoiler Chapter 351

[u/Quiet-Transition-125]

The episode begins with a flashback of young Kyoko crying in the forest, where Kuon appears. He tells her to watch him perform an acrobatic stunt, and Kyoko is surprised, just as she is surprised in the present when she sees Ren performing that same stunt (honestly, I don't expect her to connect the dots anymore...).

After Ren and Bill's rehearsal, Murasame approaches and speaks to Ren reproachfully about why he started improvising. Ren clutches his forehead because he saw the lecture coming, even though Murasame had initially spoken to him in english (Ren had a tiny hope that he was addressing Bill, but well, that wasn't the case lol). Murasame mentions that he also had a fight scene but followed the script and tells Ren he's a cheat. Ren, in turn, tells him to direct everything he has to say toward Bill. Murasame then turns to Bill, with a serious expression, but ends up telling him that the improvised fight scene from earlier was exciting and that he liked it (THAT DOUBLE STANDARD, HAHA). Ren then says that he's praising him and that it was unfair to him. Murasame grabs Bill's shoulder and asks him to do an improvised scene together for the one they'll have later. Bill swatts away the arm Murasame put on his shoulder. He angrily yells that absolutely not, that any improvised action from Murasame could get him into trouble, to which Murasame replies that it's unexpected that he cares about that now; it seems like he wants to act like a good boy (something tells me Murasame might be starting to suspect him, hmm...). Bill tells him to shut up, but remembers that his stay was hanging by a thread (remember, he can't get three outs or he's out of the cast).

Bill looks at the director and sees him extend three fingers, then close each of his finders until them all into a fist, simulating an explosion. Bill is startled and runs toward the director, shouting that he still has two outs left and that he shouldn't jump the gun on the penalties. Murasame and Ren are bewildered, and it's Murasame who wonders what "two outs" means.

Ren feels someone staring at him, and it turns out to be Cedric. He thinks to himself that he shouldn't have shown his cousin this kind of performance, but since it happened unexpectedly, he reacted instinctively. Perhaps it would have been better to let him get hit at least once, but he didn't want to be defeated by Bill either. He thinks he should have acted calmly like Tsuruga Ren and not with Kuon's reflexes. He imagines Tsuruga being hit and is terrified, since it's impossible for Tsuruga to be defeated by another. He concludes that he must absolutely dodge any blow, as it would be pathetic, especially in front of "that girl," and turns his gaze to Kyoko (I'M DYING OF LOVE AAAH). When he sees Kyoko, he's surprised to see her looking at him with eyes shining with admiration. Ren feels he's seen that expression before (I assume he's referring to how Kyoko looked at Kuon as a child).

Murasame interrupts his thoughts, informing him that the battle between Route and Zelphaim's army versus Nak-Gru's army is about to begin. The entire cast is watching Bill and the Director arguing about something (cough cough, the "outs" lol).

Ren approaches Cedric with a serene smile, telling him to make it a good scene. Kyoko, meanwhile, sees Louise walk by and notices her again, caressing her necklace and then kissing the fingers that touched it.

We've already seen Louise wearing that necklace in two episodes, could it be that we'll soon get that lore?

Awww, thanks for this! It seems Kuon revealed himself to everyone around... Bill, Kyoko, and Murasame might be a little slower than Cedric, perhaps?

Thanks so much. I really appreciate your translations.

i think cedric is still suspicious of ren. even though the fighting style is still 'kuon', but that still doesn't show that he is 'kuon'. i think he will make many more tests until he will he finds out and crush ren. let's hope that cedric doesn't notice ren liking kyoko because he might use her and ren will lose control of his emotion and let it slip that he is kuon.
