Chapter 98

The Promise is the ninety-eighth chapter of the Black Cat manga and the fifth chapter of Volume 11.

Plot
Sven Vollfied explains the situation to the two Chrono Numbers, even though Train Heartnet believes that he is wasting his time. Once he is done, the two assassins understand that Kyoko Kirisaki is no longer an Apostle and has no ill will to Chronos, so there is no need to kill her. Baldorias S. Fanghini however, does not care, as he wants to eliminate both the taoist girl and the traitor Heartnet, which does not surprise Train. He attacks again with his Heimdall, this time completely destroying the room. The sweepers jump and safely land outside, with Kyoko landing directly on Train. Baldor and Kranz Maduke jump outside as well before getting ready to attack once more. Kyoko asks Train if he is mad about the two Number's treatment. Train asks her if she still remembers her promise, and after some hesitation, she replies that she does. Train then makes a deal with the girl: If Kyoko can keep her promise and not kill again, Train will protect her at all costs, but if she can not, then she is on her own, as the sweeper feels he is not obliged to protect someone who cannot keep a promise.
