End of the Aizens VIII (愛染の終 VIII Aizen no Tsui VIII) is the 67th chapter of the Shakugan no Shana manga series.
Margery had maintained Cradle Garden and she and Shana restored the city.
Summary[]
Shana getting angry at Yūji for looking at her chest.
Yūji and Shana were still on the bridge when Margery approached them, with Marchosias revealing that Sydonay had escaped. Yūji saw that Shana was looking sad, then noticed that she was covered in blood. Shana's wound had already healed and she got Alastor to clean her body with the Purifying Flame. Yūji was caught looking at her chest, as her uniform had been slashed open by Sorath, and Shana proceeded to beat him up for it. Margery got Shana's attention as she wanted her help to fix the damage to the city within the Fūzetsu. Margery had taken over Cradle Garden from the Aizen Siblings by inserting Unrestricted Spell Insignias into the Pinions which froze their functions and used their Power of Existence to maintain the Fūzetsu, and the two could use that power to restore the city. Margery's actions had resulted in Tiriel losing power, so Shana thanked her, but Margery said she did so because she wanted to and also made use of Yūji, Shana's "special person". Shana denied this and was annoyed by Yūji's comments, grinding her foot into his back.
As Margery and Shana repaired the city, Marchosias told Alastor and Shana that Yūji was equipped with a Kaikin, which shocked them. Alastor wanted to leave the topic for another day, as Margery felt like staying in Misaki City. Margery and Shana finished the restoration process and after its reverberations had ceased, the Fūzetsu would dissolve by itself. Shana suddenly screamed, saying she had to return to the school. Alastor explained to Yūji that if the Fūzetsu was dissolved and he and Shana weren't where they had been before, the people they had been with would have their awareness and memories altered and would think they were never there. Yūji had been with Ike on the roof and didn't mind not going back, but Shana was adamant on returning. She didn't want to tell Yūji why, but was clearly panicking about her slashed uniform, and Alastor suggested going to the school store. Shana and Yūji told Margery they'd see her again, thanked her, and flew off. Margery had rarely heard those words and was feeling refreshed. Marchosias joked about the lie he had told her, which she hadn't forgiven.
Shana exited the school store holding a bag. While looking for a room to get changed in, she suddenly stopped. Shana told Yūji that he had tried hard that day in figuring out the Pinions and working with Margery, which made him happy. Shana said she would give him a reward like he wanted. Yūji didn't especially want anything, but saw that Shana was blushing and staring at him. The Fūzetsu was still active, so no one would see them. Yūji closed his eyes, thinking he would get a kiss, but instead Shana threw a packaged melonpan at his face. It was Yūji's reward. As Shana made her way into a room, she said to Yūji that his efforts made her happy. Yūji was alone in the hallway, surprised then joyous from her words.
