Aphorism Vol. 4 (Chapter 12) summary-

Once again, 99mh is credited for the scans. Here's Aphorism Chapter 12's summary:
Chapter 12 (34 pages)


The chapter starts off with Rokudo waking up in a comfortable-looking bed, in a rich, exquisite Traditional Chinese Palace.

Rokudo has no clue where he is, nor why he's wearing such weird clothes. (obviously Traditional Chinese garments) He also has no memory of what occurred after his gruesome death; only remembering he was getting food with Aira and Hinata. While questioning his location, he wonders if the place is some isolation ward.

Looking outside the window, Rokudo sees the large area filled with rock-architecture. Suddenly, his servant (lolwut) pops out of nowhere and politely asks him, his young master, whether he'd like his tea now. Rokudo accepts the tea. Being the dense brick that he is, Rokudo takes a few moments to turn to his servant, asking him who he is.

 DOES THIS REMIND OF YOU ANYTHING, YOUNG MASTER
KUROSHITSUJI x APHORISM
"Greetings, Momiji-kun." (seriously what are those things clipped onto Rokudo's ears o_o)

Rokudo asks the servant who he is, once again. The servant replies that he's 'Rokudo'; everyone knows him by that. Rokudo immediately realises that the servant is actually his transformation. (To make things easier, since he has no official name, let's refer to the servant as 'Kuro') However, Rokudo does not recognize Kuro at all.

But Kuro does resemble Aira's previous description of his transformation, like 'completely different personality and skill set', Rokudo thinks. Following after is irrelevant but amusing thoughts of the situation by Rokudo.

Anyways, Rokudo comments that Kuro really is a completely different person, though the latter disagrees; after all, he's Rokudo too, the same person. This completely confuses Rokudo.


Rokudo asks Kuro where they are right now. Why is he here, more importantly? The latter says he should be the asking that, since Rokudo isn't supposed to be here...the place isn't meant for the living. If Rokudo's here...that must mean...

Kuro is certain that Rokudo is dead, if he's here right now. Only his spirit remains.

Kuro begins to think the possible causes of Rokudo's uncertain death. (Like everyone else, he thinks the young master is a dense brick for not even remembering his moment of death.) Kuro has to think fast on his next course of action, since it'd be impossible to do anything if Rokudo's body starts decomposing... 


Rokudo gets sleepy. Lucky bastard gets tucked in by Kuro, and knocks out in 2 seconds flat. Unfortunately, Rokudo's tiredness is a sign of his spirit weakening at an alarming rate; Kuro tells the slumbering Rokudo he'll definitely get back his life for him.


Kuro regains conciousness in the real world; immobile and sees pitch black darkness, due to being in the body-bag onboard the body truck. Good luck strikes when his body-bag is accidentally thrown off the truck. Kuro unzips himself out of the body bag, finding himself in the mountains; he quickly makes his way to Naraka High.

The apathetic-looking girl is Ryo Mukai,  Group 4.  

The scene shifts to Naraka High, and we see the main cast comforting Aira. Suddenly a student, Ryo Mukai, from Group 4 (affectionally named "Tomonaga's mutt" by the Immortal guy) confronts them. She warns the main cast that they'll be asking for a death wish if they continue to interfere with Tomonaga's affairs. (Strangely, she refers to Tomonaga by his first name "Izuru")

Immortal guy gets pissed fast. Hinata calmly asks Ryo what Group 4's true agenda is, but she merely gives them a menacing glare. She says farewell shortly afterwards.

Ryo's seal is 'Decoy'. 
In this case,
she uses it to turn Hinata's nakama comrades against him (decoy).                

Immortal guy is still mad, and gets set to punch Ryo. The girl predicts such punching action, and uses her seal 'decoy' to direct his brutal punch towards Hinata instead. Next, Aira attempts a violent slash on Hinata, the victim and Immortal guy barely dodging.

Aira and Immortal guy's weapons seem to be moving on their own, same goes for the rest of the main cast. They only halt their injuring spree when Hinata demands them to.

The scene shifts to Hinata's dorm room, the main cast discussing on their next course of action, and it concluding when Immortal guy accidentally flings...something (a cuff?)...directed at Hinata's head.   


Next we see Ryo and Tomonaga in a dorm room, the former bandaging the latter's badly-cut palm. (It seems that these two have a close relationship, since...Tomonaga sees almost everyone as pawns? It's strange that he'd let someone bandage him)

Ryo tells Tomonaga not to be so reckless, and heads for the door when she finishes bandaging him. Tomonaga asks of her location before coming here, and after hearing her reply, warns her not to do anything 'unnecessary'. She assures him that she won't do that...not now, not ever.

Oh, it's always the hot ones that gotta be the crazy sociopaths       

Tomonaga mentions of the lack of action made by the 'governmental slaves', saying they've failed his expectations, same for the main cast...he says he deliberately  spared their lives...for some reason. He decides that 'trash', ultimately, has to be cleared away after all...it's only human to keep things clean, amirite?

Kuro is then seen walking the streets, making his way back to Naraka High. He smiles, telling Rokudo to wait for him, and swears to make things normal again.

Welcome back!
