argh... DGM's getting more confusing =X Kanda and Alma's past are still being told and more details about the 2nd exorcist project was also given. Looks like i'll have to read them through one more time when this arc comes to an end...

Sora no Woto 9 had the leg-less tank being sent out of the garage but was not made to go into combat. Rio acted wierd all day after she'd got a call from her father, as what Filicia suggested to be. Claus later comes by and gives Rio a delivery which she hesitated on opening it. Yumina later comes over to request for the help as Seiya had went missing in the typhoon which made everyone to go into town and search for him. Kureha managed to find him trying to protect the eggplant which Yumina likes and with Claus's help, they are able to persuade into bringing Seiya to safety but Kureha and Claus were trapped due to a landslide. As the situation got worse, Kureha somehow realises that the man wasnt really the Claus she had admired, which Rio reveals to Kanata previously and seeing how dangerous the situation is, Noel decides to use the tank to shoot an anchor wire over and pull them in. The "Claus" knows that Kureha admires him and thus protected her and brought her to safety which Kureha affirms again that he is a man that she looks up to. I dun really tink the tank's gonna be fixed any time soon, or maybe for the entire series, but this episode wasnt that bad, much development on Kureha and Claus and the princess had already passed on and could have triggered some memory in Rio when she saw the river and thought of the princess...

HnG reveals now that Hayate did have the stone when he 1st ventured into the castle where A-tan resides in and when he leaves, he meets his brother (as in the previous volume), where his brother takes out the stone and hears someone calling for help. He follows the voice to the castle and sees A-tan there where he walks up to her and tells her that she was calling for help and he had heard it. Well, im really interested in seeing how Hayate's brother really looks like (although i do have a feeling that he's just gonna look like the Hayate now) and what relationship did happen between A-tan and Hayate's brother. Really hoping for a nice conclusion to this arc and the aftermath of it, with A-tan now being rescued and Nagi, after losing her inheritance.
