Chapter 37 - Ajax Returns! Ishida's Desperate Fight!

Desmond Vale gets introduced as he wipes out an entire Kabukimono before heading north to fight the strongest players remaining. Meanwhile Rumi and Ishida follow Nagama and Poka to the meeting place and Ishida begins to reach his breaking point. While Jwiler tries his hardest to quickly wrap up Ajax.

Jwiler wraps and tightens the final bandage around Ajax's chest.

"That should be fine. Though Jwiler doubts they'll stay in knowing you." Jwiler says panting heavily.

"Don't worry about it Jwiler you did what you had to me. I'll go kick Nagama's ass now." Ajax says standing up so wobbling a bit.

"Remember it's straight east from here. We wasted a lot of time so you probably have about less than an hour before the Shogunate 9 officers arrive." Jwiler says fall back.

"That's fine I'll finish it before they arrive anyways." Ajax says before bolting out the room.

"He's foolish. But he believes in that. He believes in himself." Jwiler says before passing out.

At the meeting place Nagama and Poka continue their chat and drinks. 

"So boss, do you think Jwiler is dead?" Poka says.

"I don't, however it wouldn't surprise me if he is. I shouldn't have hit him in any vital spots." Nagama says continuing to drink.

Meanwhile behind the layers of pillars Ishida and Rumi remain behind them.

"Alright I've waited long enough I'm going in!" Ishida says, pushing himself up.

"Wait Ishida, maybe let's wait a little longer?" Rumi pleads. 

"We don't have much time left, it's now or never." Ishida says charging at the door with Rumi just sighing praying Ishida doesn't lose his mind.

Ishida kicks down the door, flatting Poka in the process.

"Oh it's you again. What feeling desperate or something?" Nagama chuckles.

"Shut it you asshole. I'm gonna kick your ass here and now then I'll be able to leave this stupid game." Ishida declares.

"Hmmm you. Let's see a Velvet suit, no charm, no sword. How could you possibly beat me?" Nagama laughs.

"I'll prove it to you then." Ishida says charging at Nagama. "Martial Art: Homage Shot!" Ishida says kicking Nagma in the chest.

Nagama absorbs the contact but slides back.

"Nice kick you have on you kid. Never seen someone with martial arts as a butler." Nagama says dusting himself off.

"Yeah it's gonna be a lot more than that in a second you bastard." Ishida says through gritted teeth.

"Hey punk you can't just charge in on the boss like that and you definitely can't just flatten me under a door!" Poka says, lifting himself from under the door. 

"Oh yeah it's you. I forgot about you. I'll deal with you later. Right now you little boss here is gonna feel every inch of my burning frustration." Ishida says glaring at Poka. 

"Oh yeah even if I hold this pretty little lady hostage?" Poka says before drawing his sword and pointing it at Rumi.

"Hey dammit you let her go!" Ishida growls. 

"Now now Poka can't you see he's clearly a gentleman? Plus you know we don't do things like that around here." Nagama says, holding his hand in the air.

"Yeah of course." Poka grunts before sheathing his sword.

"Sorry about that he can be a bit. Jumpy. At times." Nagama says, looking at Ishida.

"Yeah I need that thanks." Ishida says sarcastically.

Ishida then rushes at Nagama.

"Aw and here I thought I could begin to reason with you." Nagama says disappointed.

"After what you did to Ajax, no way! Martial Arts: Patada trapeador!" Ishida says kicking Nagama in the face only for Nagama to block with his arm.

"You are nimble for a butler. Nagama says before grabbing Ishida and swinging him into the wall.

"Ishida!" Rumi panics as she runs to his side. 

"Foolish boy, you really thought you could beat me? I've crushed you captain and you, a butler who is weaker than that brat thinks he can beat me! It's also laughable!" Nagama yells and boasts as he walks up to Rumi and Ishida.

"Hey wait hold on a second we can talk now!" Rumi says turning to Nagama only for him to swat her away.

"Oh little girl, the time for talk is over. This hotshot thinks he can disrespect me like this. It's only natural that I kill him!" Nagama yells.

"Martial Art: Gorilla Strike!" Nagama yells as he punches down and bounces Ishida off the ground. 

Ishida groans but eventually stands up. 

"I know. I know you didn't just put your hands on her." Ishida growls clenching his fists. 

"That's what you're upset about? I just bounced you off a wooden floor and your concern is that girl?" Nagama says confused.

"Earlier you said that's not how you do things. Yet you're clearly just lying to me." Ishida says.

"I'm gonna kick you fucking head in!" Ishida says jumping at Nagama.

"Martial Arts: Executioner Chop!" Nagama says as he swats at the air.

"Martial Arts: Aluvión servicios!" Ishida yells as he slams his foot down on Nagama's head before he gets flung into the wall again. 

"Gaaaahhhhh!" Ishida cries out as he lands on the ground shaking, still trying to stand. 

"You damn brat if that attack would have connected I would have been in serious trouble. What the hell kinda butler is he?" Nagama says to himself wiping blood from where Ishida kicked him.

"He's different boss." Poka says, walking up beside him.

"Ishida, stop your body can't take another blow like that." Rumi says running over to him.

"No damnit I have to. We have just about 30 minutes until sundown and those damn Shogunate 9 Officers will arrive and we'll all be dead." Ishida grunts and stands again.

"Oh so you two managed to get information on my plan huh? I knew it would stupid to tell those pests of bandits." Nagama sighs. 

"And you! Why aren't you fighting Ishida with your sword? Aren't true warriors supposed to have some type of honor!" Rumi yells at Nagama. 

"Oh you Ronin and your honor. You see I was just trying to spare the poor butler but if you want him to die so badly then fine I'll kill him right now then!" Nagama grins as he immediately unsheathes his sword and barrels towards Ishida.

"Stay behind me Rumi, I got this." Ishida says guarding Rumi before a long clang is heard.

"Huh?" Ishida says, opening his eyes.

Nagama sighs but the grin does remain on his face. 

"Oh this is interesting after all. It seems you're hard to kill, Ajax Nozami!" Nagama yells as

Ajax glares at Nagama, his sword clashing and holding off Nagama.
