Chapter 106

**Death of the Immortal** (不死身の死, *Fujimi no Shi*, ***Death of the Immortal***?) is the 106th chapter of the *To Your Eternity* manga.

## Summary

Fushi, exhausted and dazed, stares at bloody Kahaku who just walked into the Booze Man's shop. Kahaku comments that it's been so long since they all sat down to eat a meal together. Fushi doesn't respond and Kahaku explains he's alright and that the blood on him is Kai's. Kahaku smiles and says he'll prepare the food upstairs and tells Fushi to bring everyone up when it's ready.

Fushi then realizes what the vague unease he's been feeling is: they're slowly losing the battle. The battle will only be over once there are zero humans or zero Nokkers. Fushi realizes the only way to get zero Nokkers is to have zero places that aren't a part of him. He wonders how long it'll take to do and if everyone could even last till then.

Bonchien arrives to find Messar crying next to Princess Alma's lifeless bodies. Messar looks up to Bonchien and figures that Alma's spirit isn't here anymore. Bonchien apologizes and says it seems she already went to heaven. Messar denies the claim and says that Alma wanted to play another game with him. Bonchien replies that he's sure she wanted to live in dreams instead of reality. Suddenly Nokker-possessed birds surround them and Bonchien yells at Messar to draw his weapons but Messar is zoned out in shock.

The three immortals get taken out and wake up to find themselves sitting at a table inside Booze Man's shop. Kahaku happily notes they're all awake and tells them to start eating as he puts some food down. Kahaku tells them he'll get Fushi from downstairs and Hairo asks what he's up to. Kahaku is puzzled and tells him he's just doing what Fushi wanted.

Hairo says he was mid-battle and that Fushi has to send him back immediately. Kahaku tells him to wait and that they should discuss his performance first. Kahaku tells Hairo that Fushi's fed up with his pitiful performance defending the church and that even a single death of his has been a huge burden on Fushi. Kahaku boasts that he would be able to fight off all those Nokkers in one try. He then scolds Kai for wasting his time by tying him up even though he couldn't even contain him. Then he says he pities Messar for trying so hard to protect the Princess, who only died because she didn't obey the orders to stay inside. All three men glare at Kahaku and he tells them having dinner will help them calm down.

Fushi hears fighting upstairs, then suddenly an even bloodier Kahaku stumbles down the stairs. Fushi doesn't say a word but Kahaku quickly defends himself by saying it isn't what it looks like. He wonders if he offended everyone because they tried to kill him, but then his Nokker arm attacked them back and killed them. Kahaku apologizes to Fushi and Fushi finally responds by saying fighting among themselves is pointless and tells Kahaku to make it up to them later. Kahaku insistently asks if Fushi's afraid of him but Fushi tells him that without trust, there can't be peace, thus he's demonstrating it personally.

Kahaku wraps his arms around Fushi and comments that Fushi's heart is tired. He tells Fushi not to push himself and to tell him how he really feels since he wants to understand him. Fushi takes a moment to think then says he wants relief. Kahaku smiles and then caresses Fushi's face. He assures Fushi it'll be alright and that he'll protect him.

Suddenly, Kahaku's Nokker arm that caressed Fushi's face attacks Fushi to the horror of Kahaku. Fushi keeps regenerating into different forms as Kahaku's Nokker keeps attacking nonstop. Kahaku looks down in complete horror at the scene when suddenly March, delivered by Fushi's horse, runs into the shop and yells, "stop!" March runs over and jumps onto Kahaku's arm and yells at him to stop killing Fushi. Fushi's eyes widen. March looks Fushi in the eye and tells him that his mommy is here for him.
