Konjiki no Gash!! Chapter 307

**Friends' Path** (友の道, *Tomo no Michi*) is the 307th chapter of Makoto Raiku's Konjiki no Gash!!. This chapter was originally released in Japan on May 18, 2001.

## Plot

Both Sunbeam and Clear Note comment that there is no way out for Sunbeam and Umagon to escape Baadorerugo’s attack. However, Umagon senses that Gash and Kiyomaro are outside of the plane and on the other side of Baadorerugo. Umagon charges forward, confusing Sunbeam, and charges directly toward Baadorerugo’s teeth. Umagon transforms his armor into an arrowhead, encasing them as he continues to shoot forward. Sunbeam yells at Umagon, trying to remind him that his armor was erased the last time it was hit by Clear’s attack, but Umagon yells back, and Sunbeam then realizes that Umagon knows they have friends on the other side of the attack. As Umagon reaches the end of Baadorerugo’s teeth that had been entrapping them, electricity bursts through.

On the other side, Kiyomaro is perched atop Gash’s mantle as the two are midair, having cast a spell, and it creates an opening for Umagon and Sunbeam to escape through. Umagon and Gash have a happy reunion, and Gash exclaims that he’s happy his voice has reached Umagon from inside Baadorerugo.

In the Rocky Mountains, Clear Note and Vino are displeased and surprised that Baadorerugo has lost, respectively. Clear Note states that because Baadorerugo had been destroyed, the mass of power that created it has now returned to his own body, further strengthening him.

Back aboard the plane, Megumi casts Saifojio for Tio to heal Umagon after his battle against Baadorerugo. Gash exclaims how much stronger Umagon has become since his training. Sunbeam commends Kiyomaro for saving him and Umagon, sharing his observation that Kiyomaro’s Answer Talker ability has stabilized. Kiyomaro said they had barely made it, but because Umagon was relying on Gash’s power and had gotten them closer to the plane in Baadorerugo’s final moments, he and Gash were able to reach them in time to save them. He states that it was Umagon and Gash’s trust in each other that created their path for escape, to which Sunbeam agrees.

Sunbeam states that the spell he and Gash had used to save them had felt different from Baou, and asks if it was a new spell. Kiyomaro says that it was, commenting that it’s weaker than Baou but has speed, but that if Baadorerugo’s head hadn’t gotten so thin, Gash’s spell probably wouldn’t have been able to break through it without Baou.

Kiyomaro warns everyone that Clear is likely going to continue coming at them with top class spells, and says they need to brace themselves. From the cockpit, Telepathy Radar informs Kiyomaro that the plane only has two engines remaining, and if there is another attack there is no guarantee they will be able to keep flying.

Sunbeam casts Shin Shudoruku, and he, Gash, Kiyomaro, Tio, and Megumi all take off from the plane and head towards Clear Note on Umagon’s back.

In the Rocky Mountains, Vino states that Gash and the others are getting closer to them. Clear Note says Gash and the others will soon be entering the range in which it will be possible for him to sense demons, and Vino casts Shin Kuria Seunousu Zarefedoora, a spell which allows Clear Note to summon a massive cannon, and bestows upon him a helmet that allows him to sense the demonic power of Gash and his friends, and aim the cannon’s attacks directly at them.

Kiyomaro tells Megumi to get ready to cast a spell. Gash warns Kiyomaro that Clear Note just sent out a huge spell, and Kiyomaro confirms that it’s the long-range spell that had previously burned Canchome and Papipurio’s spell books. Kiyomaro exclaims that everyone’s counting on Megumi and Tio for their shield from Clear’s attack, and that they’ve entered Clear’s airspace.
