The next morning Rakan learns a bit more about the world Chigusa, Narushige and Koh come from like how they do not have metal, plastic, electricity or television. All off their things are made from plants.
Rakan’s goes outside to do some yard work (it’s his day off from school). As he is working he starts to feel a bit overwhelm by the events that have taken place and by the new information he learned that morning. He still believes Chigusa and Narushige are good people but now he is concern about who he really is (who is he and why does he have the face of a prince).
As Rakan is contemplating his existence one of those creepy, crawling creatures appears (this one is much bigger). It’s called an Ayame. It goes in for the attack and just when it’s about to pierce Rakan, Chigusa jumps in and is severely stabbed. Narushige begins to race outside to fight but Chigusa takes out his gun and kills the giant Ayame (take that you creepy, crawling Ayame?).
Rakan runs over to Chigusa who looks like he’s badly injured. There is blood all over his body. Chigusa opens his shirt (at the request of a very worried Rakan) his blood quickly transforms into badges healing his wounds instantly.
Chigusa reveals to Rakan that his blood is partly made up of plant material that instantly heals his injuries and even if the plant material were to die out with a Sanome nearby he can be brought back to life. Chigusa reveals this information to Rakan in the hopes to easy his worry but instead it infuriates Rakan so much that he slaps Chigusa right across the face. Rakan is upset that Chigusa has such a low value for his life and also by the fact that he is selfish to think that he would not be affected by seeing Chigusa. As if Chigusa getting injured and hurt will have no effect on him what so ever. Rakan storms off in tears.
Narushige advises Chigusa to apologize to Rakan. Chigusa leaves the backyard to look for Rakan. Narushige starts to wonder if Chigusa is suppressing his emotions to avoid feeling anything.
Chigusa finds Rakan in the bathroom washing his face. Rakan apologies for slapping Chigusa across the face. Chigusa responds by saying that he liked being hit by Rakan. In fact it’s really the only way for him to get the message because he doesn’t feel much pain.
Then Chigusa has a realization. He thinks that maybe he actually does have the capacity to feel because when he saw Rakan cry he experienced an emotional feeling, a feeling of happiness. Rakan thinks it’s a bit strange (it wasn’t the response he was expecting) but it ultimately leads to them making up.
Later that night while Rakan slept in his bed with Chigusa sitting at his bedside (on the floor) Narushige enters the room and sits next to Chigusa. They both start to wonder what their world would have been like if Rakan had been their prince.
So that the last chapter of Silver Diamond volume 1. Looking forward to the next volume and what adventures the 3 amigos (oops, forgot about the Koh) will get themselves into.
