Murasaki: Shinkurou...

Koto: Kill me...

17

Koto: If you...
Koto: do nothing, I will eventually take over this family.
Koto: That is the destiny of the blood flowing through my veins.

Murasaki: Hah.

Murasaki: Liar.

Murasaki: Your true goal is not the family.

Murasaki: It's Usui.

18

Koto: It can't be...
Koto: Do you have the power to read minds, too?
Murasaki: Even without that power...
Murasaki: it's clearly written on your face.

Murasaki: Your head is filled with your feelings for Usui!

Murasaki: Just like Shinkurou's head is filled with his feelings for me.

19

Koto: Heh.

Koto: You're exactly right.

Koto: My one wish...
Koto: is for Usui to be happy.

Koto: I...
Koto: wanted to purify the dirty world in which he lives even if just a little.

20

Koto: I don't know how they found out...

Koto: but as soon as the highest members of the Suzakujin learned that the family's blood ran in my veins...
Koto: they came to me suggesting that I should take over the family.
Koto: They wanted to set me up as the head of the family so they could hold the true power of the family through me.

Koto: I learned something then.

Koto: I learned just how brutal the battle over influence was in this family.

Koto: I also learned how Usui was viewed within all that...
Koto: and that I would become a spark that would threaten him.

21

Koto: As long as I am in this house, the threats to his position as head will continue.
Koto: I decided that I must play the part of the usurper to draw out all of the trash...
Koto: and purge them from this house.

Koto: And in the end, I would be eliminated as a traitor.
Koto: With that, all the loose ends would be tied off.

Shinkurou: Wh-
Shinkurou: Why would you have to go that far...?

Koto: Yes, it may be impossible for you to understand...

22

Koto: just how dirty this world is to people like myself or my young master...
Koto: who can read the minds of everyone around us.

Koto: When I saw that seven year old child desperately living on while putting up the "voices" around him...
Koto: I could not help but grow attached to him.

Koto: If I am eliminated as a portion of that dirty world...
Koto: then he will not have to be hurt.

Koto: I had hoped to draw out even more of the trash using Murakami Ginji's notebook, but...

SFX: Step forward

23

Murasaki: Give it a rest already!!!
Murasaki: You fool!!!

Murasaki: I listened to what you had to say, but it was nothing but selfish delusions!!
Murasaki: Do you really think what you are doing is for Usui's sake!?

Murasaki: If so, you don't understand anything about how he feels!!

Murasaki: What Usui truly wants is...!!

Murasaki: Mh?

24

SFX: Push
Murasaki: Wah!

SFX: Step

SFX: Grab
Usui: Stop it...

Usui: Koto!!

SFX: Wind...

26

Shinkurou: Wh-
Shinkurou: What?

27

Koto: Run!!

Koto: You mustn't fight!!
Koto: Not against them!!

Koto: They are the dark side of the Suzakujin...
Koto: no, of the Four Western Gate families.
Koto: That combat group is intended to directly prevent interference from the Outer and Inner Thirteen Families.
Koto: They are the most powerful assassins.

Koto: They are after me.
Koto: I am their target as the one who destroyed the order of the Suzakujin.

28

SFX: Step
Shinkurou: I can't let you die.

Shinkurou: After all, we can't have Usui-kun suffer any more, right?

Tamaki: Well said, Shinkurou-kun!
SFX: Step

Tamaki: If you keep saying cool things like that, I might just fall for you.
SFX: Step forward

Shinkurou: Kirihiko-chan!
Shinkurou: Tamaki-san!

SFX: Draw

Usui: Stop this!!

30

Usui: I am Suzakujin Usui, the head of the Suzakujin family.
Usui: I do not approve this physical intervention on our grounds!!

Assassin: The ways of the Four Western Gate families are absolute.

Usui: And I am one of the heads that rules at the top of those ways.

Usui: Judgment regarding this infighting has been made under my authority.
Usui: If you still intend to interfere...

Usui: I will take responsibility and end my life here and now.

31

SFX: Disappear

Koto: Young master!!
SFX: Run over

Koto: Young master!

32

Box: A few days later

Usui: As a result of the discussion between the <Suzakujin> and the other Four Western Gate families...
Usui: the interference here by the <Kuhouin>, <Kirishima>, and <Houzuki> will be ignored.

Usui: After all, it was all caused by a scandal within my own house.

Shinkurou: Um...
Shinkurou: What about Koto-san?

33

Usui: He received an inquiry from the Four Western Gate families...
Usui: and is currently imprisoned.

Usui: I intend to...

Usui: No, I will...
Usui: visit him regularly.

Usui: One day, he will have atoned for his crimes...
Usui: and the two of us will be able to walk together once more.

Shinkurou: We'll come see you again sometime, too.

34

Usui: Please do!

Ginko: This would have been too much for me alone.

Ginko: Thank you,
Ginko: Shinkurou.

35

Shinkurou: W-wow. You don't often thank people.

Murasaki: That is a rather rude thing to say, is it not?
Murasaki: Shinkurou-sama.
SFX: Pff

Tamaki: Ahhhh!! Shinkurou-kun mistook her for Usui-kun and is really turned on!!

Box: Thank you, grandfather.
Box: With your notebook...
Box: I can be much more of a help for Shinkurou.
Bottom: To be continued in the February Issue

Tamaki: So you really do swing both ways, Shinkurou-kun!!
Text: Waaaahh! Waaaahh!
Shinkurou: I already told you I don't!!
Ginko: What are you all yelling about?

Text: The two finally meet...

Murasaki: By the way, Kirihiko.
Kirihiko: Yes?

02

Murasaki: Why are you here in Kyoto?

Kirihiko: I just wanted...
Kirihiko: to get far away!

Kirihiko: I have no right...
Kirihiko: to be with you two anymore...

Shinkurou: Th-
Shinkurou: That's not true, Kirihiko-chan.

03

Murasaki: You fool!!
Murasaki: What are you talking about!?

Murasaki: We are friends!!
Murasaki: It's okay for us to be together!!

Kirihiko: Eh?
Kirihiko: B-but...

08

Ginko: You just...
Ginko: read it, didn't you?

Ginko: That is why you trusted us upon first meeting us.

SFX: Step
Ginko: That is how you knew we meant no harm.

Ginko: You used the power of the <Suzakujin>, didn't you?
Ginko: You have the power to read people's minds.

09

Koto: What are you talking about?

Koto: Oh, I see.
Koto: So you are related to that information broker.

Koto: So that means...
Koto: you must be after that, doesn't it?

Usui: Koto.
Usui: Did you find Shinkurou-sama and the others?

Shinkurou: And Yamie-san, too.
Shinkurou: So you two were also captured?
Yamie: Personally, I find this damp darkness much more comfortable than outside.

SFX: Realization
Shinkurou: Ginko...!

Murasaki: This is ridiculous! Let us out of here at once!
Murasaki: I will speak with the head of the family!

Kirihiko: They won't let you.
Murasaki: Mh?

12

Kirihiko: We were caught in a trap.
Kirihiko: So it doesn't matter what we say.

Shinkurou: A trap?
Murasaki: What do you mean, Kirihiko!?

SFX: Clatter

Usui: Shinkurou-sama!!

Usui: Wh-
Usui: Why are you all being held here!?

13

Usui: And even you...

Guard: Those were the captain's orders.
Guard: We were told to capture them as suspicious people who were after your life, Usui-sama.

Kirihiko: Keh.

Kirihiko: We're the suspicious ones?

Kirihiko: How can that long haired one say that?
SFX: Touch

Kirihiko: He's the one that set it all up.
SFX: Slide

14

Shinkurou: Set it all up?

Kirihiko: His face may have been hidden...

Kirihiko: but there's no way I would mistake those movements.

Kirihiko: That long-haired guy who is always by your side...
Kirihiko: is the one that attacked us!

15

Shinkurou: H-
Shinkurou: He was!!?

Shinkurou: Why would he do that!?
Shinkurou: And does that mean it was no mistake that he had us imprisoned?

Usui: Y-

Usui: You're wrong!!!

16

Usui: Koto would never do that!!

Koto: My grandfather, the previous head of the family, brought him here...
Koto: and he has been with me ever since!!

Koto: H-
Koto: He is my...

Koto: My only...

17

Shinkurou: U-
Shinkurou: Usui-kun...

Usui: I hate you, Shinkurou-sama!!

SFX: Mad

Murasaki: What a girly little boy.
SFX: Step forward

Murasaki: Where is he?

Murasaki: If I ask him, we can know the truth of this!

Text: Oh!
Tamaki: Oh!
Tamaki: So can I!

Usui: Impossible!!

Usui: Koto would never...
Usui: He would never...!!

20

Text: Look, that is the head of the family's grandson.
Text: He really does look just like a girl.
Text: It's pathetic that HE will be the next head.

Text: But he inherited the supernatural power of the Suzakujin family, right?
Text: He can read people's minds.
Text: It's really creepy.

Text: I hope he dies quickly like his father.
Text: That way, the head might look in my direction.

SFX: Bounce

Usui: I can't hear the voice of his mind!?
Usui: Why?

Usui: But for some reason...
Usui: he feels very warm.

Koto: All I desire is your smile.
Koto: So please smile,
Koto: young master.

24

25

Ginko: This is it...?
Koto: Yes.
Koto: That is what your grandfather gave the previous head of the family long ago.

Koto: The previous head trusted Ginji-san...
Koto: so it was stored safely.

Koto: He also seemed to have asked a secret favor.
SFX: Flip

Text: Remember...
Text: one thing...
Text: Ginko.

26

Ginji: If...
Ginji: you ever hit a wall while continuing my work as an information broker...

Ginji: head to the West.
Ginji: Okay?

Box: That isn't very concrete advice, Grandfather.
Box: Ha ha. I suppose not.

Ginko: A hidden page?

SFX: Flip

Box: "Investigation Report"

27

Box: "He has definitely inherited the blood of the Suzakujin...
Box: and he has now become the bodyguard of the next head based on his own wishes."

Koto: Did you figure something out?
Ginko: Eh!?

Koto: Oh, so you found out.
Koto: I really didn't expect anything about me to be written in there.

28

Ginko: You read my mind!?
Ginko: So you really do have Suzakujin blood in you!?

Koto: Yes,
Koto: I do.

Koto: Apparently, the previous head met my mother while outside our territory.
SFX: Step forward
Koto: I had Murakami Ginji search out that information and bring me here.

Koto: And of course, the fact that I had Suzakujin blood was kept a secret from everyone but the previous head.
SFX: Thud

Koto: I wish for your assistance.
Koto: You should be able to read the all the coded messages in this notebook.

29

Koto: Murakami Ginji left behind all sorts of information on the underground society.
Koto: As long as I have that, I can...

Ginko: You intend to take over the Suzakujin family, don't you!?

SFX: Bang

30

Usui: Koto.

Koto: Young master.

Usui: I...
Usui: I trust you, Koto.

Usui: I-it's true that...
Usui: you and grandfather are the only two people whose minds I have been unable read.

Ginko: Just as the notebook said...
Ginko: Those with the same bloodline kill each other and cannot read each other's minds.

Usui: But...
Usui: I do not mind.

31

Usui: I trust you, Koto.
Usui: No matter what anyone says, you are...
Usui: my only...

Koto: Ha ha.

Koto: What are you talking about?
Koto: You really shouldn't trust people so easily.

32

SFX: Wham

Tamaki: It looks like we've taken out most of them.
Kirihiko: But...

Kirihiko: Was it really okay...
Kirihiko: to let Murasaki...-chan go along with onii-san?

Tamaki: It's fine, it's fine.
Tamaki: The thing about Murasaki-chan is...

Usui: Has our guest been found?
Koto: Yes, she has.

Usui: Eh?

Koto: But she got away.

Usui: She got away!?
Usui: What do you mean!?
Koto: Oh, I only heard about it from my subordinates.
Koto: I also learned something else quite surprising.

Koto: She is actually...
Koto: <Kirishima Kirihiko>!

14

Usui: <Kirishima>...

Koto: Yes.
Koto: <Kirishima> of the Inner Thirteen Families.
Koto: The Kuhouin girl was being attacked by her...
Koto: when the guards came and saved the girl.

Koto: The <Kirishima> family is a line of hit men.
Koto: And she is the one that has been given the title of the 66th <Kirihiko>.

Usui: So she really is an assassin.

15

Usui: B-but why is someone from the Inner Thirteen Families here?

Koto: A Kuhouin of the Outer Thirteen Families is here too...
Koto: so it isn't...
Koto: too surprising.

Koto: Perhaps it is...
Koto: this <Kirishima> girl...

Koto: that has been going around assassinating high ranking members of the Suzakujin family for the past month.

16

Usui: Ridiculous!!
Usui: It can't be!!
Usui: She would do something like that!!

Koto: ...That's right.

Koto: It is true...
Koto: that you have the mysterious ability to see people's ill intent.

Koto: That is why you are worthy of being the head of the Suzakujin family.

17

Koto: However...
Koto: this is not someone that our normal methods will work against.

Koto: Someone who knows of your power...
Koto: might be able to use it against you.

Koto: It is also possible you have merely misread her.
Koto: You first...
Koto: need to accept the reality that lies before your eyes.

Usui: Koto...

Shinkurou: And either way, who was that?

Shinkurou: Hey, Ginko.
Shinkurou: Do you know anythi-

Ginko: I didn't know.

Ginko: Even considering Murasaki-chan and that girl's presence...
Ginko: something must be going on within the West internally.

Ginko: I didn't know...

Kirihiko: They wouldn't listen.

Shinkurou: Eh?
Kirihiko: If my guess is correct, they wouldn't.

33

Shinkurou: What do you mean?
Kirihiko: But more importantly...

Kirihiko: You need to get away from here.

Kirihiko: That wasn't even the beginning of their true strength.
Kirihiko: That guy is especially dangerous.
Kirihiko: You need to leave before he gets here.

11

Usui: Koto.

Usui: We are the ones that were unnecessarily suspicious of these guests and treated them violently.

Usui: We cannot be so rude as to...
Usui: merely part ways once our business with them is over.

Koto: Young master is cute even while angry!

Koto: What are you standing there for?
Koto: Our young master invited you in...
Koto: so, please, do not refrain from entering.

12

Koto: However...
Koto: we must insist that you obey the rules of the West.

Ginko: Shinkurou...

Ginko: You must not mention...
SFX: Approach
Ginko: that you are connected to the <Houzuki> family.

Shinkurou: Wh-why not!?
Shinkurou: And what is all this about the rules of the west and the Four Western Gate families?

Ginko: Kyoto...
Ginko: is a special place.

13

Shinkurou: A special place?

Ginko: Yes.
Ginko: It is the only place in this country...
Ginko: where the outer and inner thirteen families have no power.

Ginko: Four families rule both the outer and inner portions of Kyoto.

14

Ginko: They are known as the Four Western Gate families.

Ginko: They are the <Seiryuujin>, <Byakkojin>, <Genbujin>,
Ginko: and <Suzakujin> families.
Ginko: They are said to be the descendants of the military nobles who were appointed as the defenders of Kyoto in ancient times.

Ginko: With both "outer" assets and "inner" supernatural powers, they set up a powerful barrier around Kyoto without anyone noticing.
Ginko: After a long history of resistance, they finally succeeded in eliminating the outer and inner influence of the other families.

15

Ginko: Do you understand now...
Ginko: just how dangerous it is for a Houzuki and a Kuhouin to be within that barrier?

Ginko: So do not speak the name <Houzuki>.
Ginko: And of course make sure to attentively protect Murasaki-chan.

SFX: Approach

Tamaki: That really was a surprise.
Tamaki: I can't believe how similar you two look.

Koto: Why are you apologizing, young master?

Tamaki: Hey, hey!

Tamaki: Then how about this?
Yamie: Don't play around too much, Tamaki.

18

Shinkurou: Murasaki and the others sure are taking their time.

Shinkurou: Hey, Ginko.
Shinkurou: Was the reason you came to Kyoto...

19

Shinkurou: to meet with the Four Western Gate families?

Shinkurou: Is there a connection between them and Ginji-san?
SFX: Slide
Tamaki: Sorry about the wait!!

Tamaki: Now, Shinkurou-kun.

Shinkurou: Why are you just playing around, Tamaki-san!?

Tamaki: So you can't tell?
Shinkurou: B-but...

Shinkurou: If they're wearing the same clothes...
Shinkurou: they look exactly the same...

Shinkurou: But you're so cute...

SFX: Blush

Tamaki: He really is a boy.
Tamaki: I made sure to check back there.

Tamaki: Yes, and it hit me that you were bound to go with her!
Tamaki: Now, in that situation, who knows when you two would have your first time, right?
Tamaki: So we decided we should go along for some adult supervision.

Fujimaru: You can count on it!

J: How reassuring.

J: Okay, everyone.
J: It's time to begin.

J: Cain and Abel, you two leave the Prestige Floor.
Cain: Understood.
J: Jacob, you remain on the Prestige Floor to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

J: And look after...
J: Takagi Haruka.

J: After everything you said...
J: I feel like helping you out some.

Fujimaru: Thanks.

Fujimaru: But...
Fujimaru: it's unnecessary.
Fujimaru: I can prevent any unforeseen circumstances from cropping up on my own.
Fujimaru: I will make sure Haruka and all the other hostages there are saved!

J: Fine then.
J: Jacob, give priority to the mission.

J: Keep an eye on every move the Storyteller makes.

Jacob: Understood.

10-11

J: And just so you know, it's your selfishness that has made this mission so difficult.
J: If you hadn't refused to cooperate unless the plan would ensure not a single hostage died...
J: this would be easier.

Fujimaru: What else was I supposed to do?
Fujimaru: If I hadn't insisted on that...
Fujimaru: you would treat all non-key people as if they were worms.

J: If you recall,
J: I already said I am not as greedy as you.

Fujimaru(thought): Hibiki, myself,
Fujimaru: ...Hmph.
Fujimaru(thought): Third-i,
Fujimaru(thought): and J's group!
Fujimaru(thought): This mission is so difficult that it could not be accomplished if any one of those pieces was missing.
Fujimaru(thought): I will make sure it succeeds!!

Kanou: Hm?

Mamiya: No...

Kanou: Out with it.

Mamiya: Houshou I understood, but Shiota was a relatively inconspicuous guy.
Mamiya: I had wondered why he was chosen to go to Third-i...

Kurata: Mamiya-san, you too! Getting into a fight here does no one any good!
Kurata: We need to continue with the mission!

Kanou: I really don't want to think about...
Kanou: that possibility.

Mamiya: I don't either.
Mamiya: But it's a fact that our information is being leaked.
Mamiya: We need to keep out minds open to any possibility.

Kanou: Agreed.
Kanou: Let's get back to Operation Exodus!
Kanou(thought): There's no way there's a spy!

Fujimaru: This incident...the terrorist attack a year ago...
Fujimaru: and maybe even the Bloody Monday from before that were controlled from the shadows by a man here.

Fujimaru: That man is Prime Minister Kujou Masamune,
Fujimaru: your grandfather.

Otoya: Grandfather...
Otoya: Are...
Otoya: you really...?

03

Kujou: Haruka-chan...
Man: I had hoped she had managed to escape...
Kujou: No...

Kujou: We mustn't hope for too much.
Kujou: I'm just glad you're safe.
Haruka: Y-
Haruka: Yes.

Kujou: ...Where is Otoya?
Kujou: What happened to him?

Haruka: I'm sorry.
Haruka: He left me behind in a storeroom and said he was going to fight.
Haruka: I haven't seen him since.

Kujou: Otoya...

Sawakita: Minami and Kusunoki are separately hidden on the Prestige Floor!

Sawakita: And...
Tsukamoto: Sakaki-san's team is fine!!

Sakaki: This is Sakaki.
Kirishima: This is Kirishima! Thank god you're okay!

Sakaki: I wish I could be so optimistic, but two of my team were taken out.
Sakaki: The other 3 members with me are lightly injured.
Sakaki: I would like to report our location, but...

Sawakita: Sakaki-san! It's possible our transmissions are being intercepted.
Sawakita: Please use the random number table to encrypt your transmission!
Kirishima: We will send you Kanou-san and the other's location encrypted using table 2!
Sakaki: Understood!

Tsukamoto: There are more of them left than we originally thought!
Tsukamoto: With this many...
Yajima: Don't let your guard down.
Yajima: This isn't over yet.

11

Kirishima: This is Third-i HQ. We are about to transmit everyone's locations using random number table 2.
Kirishima: Each team is to rendezvous with Kanou and Mamiya's team to work toward escape plan Exodus!

Makimura: Look at this!
Makimura: We have Sakaki-san and Kaidou-san's coordinates, too!
Kanou: Ha ha.
Kanou: I had a feeling someone like Sakaki wouldn't get taken out so easily.

Mamiya: How many are in their teams?
Makimura: Sakaki's team has four and Kaidou's has three.
Makimura: We can definitely pull off Exodus now!

12

Mamiya: Don't let your guard down, Makimura.
Mamiya: We don't even know if we'll be able to rendezvous safely.
Mamiya: We need to make a strategy assuming we only have 4!!

Makimura: U-
SFX: Pat
Makimura: Understood!

SFX: Step
Otoya: Hey!
Otoya: How could you leave Haruka-chan back with my grandfather?
Hibiki: We had no choice.
Hibiki: Her capture was reported, so we had to bring her there.
SFX: Step

Hibiki: And more importantly, Fujimaru has eyes there.
Hibiki: She's safer there than walking around with us.
SFX: Step

Hibiki: And you're Kujou Masamune's grandson, right?
Hibiki: Someone you live with can recognize the slightest idiosyncratic movements.
SFX: Step
Hibiki: Because of that, you couldn't stay with her!

13

Otoya: Because then the whole plan would be ruined.
Otoya: Yes, I get it.

SFX: Step

Hibiki: You clearly have feelings for that girl.
Hibiki: So how about you trust her a little?

Hibiki: She's much more reliable than I thought.
Hibiki: She seems smart and strong to me.
Hibiki: She's prepared.

Otoya: Yes...
Otoya: She is.

Hibiki: And most importantly, she's Fujimaru's little sister!
Hibiki: She has to be a good girl!
Otoya: So...
Otoya: What am I supposed to do now?

14

Hibiki: Kill.

Otoya: Eh?

Hibiki: What's wrong?
Hibiki: We're fighting terrorists here.
Hibiki: It's only natural.

Hibiki: Killing people is easy.
SFX: Chk
Hibiki: Pull the trigger immediately.

15

Hibiki: If you hesitate...
Hibiki: you will lose your life.

Hibiki: Other than that, all you need is the strength to pull the trigger.
Hibiki: Nothing else is needed.

Otoya: Can I...
Otoya: ask you a question?
Hibiki: What?

Otoya: Once you...
Otoya: kill someone...
Otoya: does something change...

Fujimaru: I just intercepted a coded Third-i transmission!
Fujimaru: Kanou-san and the others have met up with an elite JSDF unit and are beginning an operation to rescue the hostages with support from HQ!
Fujimaru: They're calling it Exodus!!

J: Understood.
SFX: Place
J: So just as we expected, Third-i noticed the escape route...
J: and has begun to move.

J: Your sister and friend were unexpected but have been secured...
J: so I suppose the setup of the pieces is going well.

04

Fujimaru: But...

Fujimaru: we're up against the host of this summit,
Fujimaru: the prime minister of this country.
Fujimaru: And we don't know...
Fujimaru: how many terrorists he invited to Tokyo Neo Tower.

J: Also...
J: we still have not seen the entirety of this plan...
J: that will bring about Bloody Monday.

J: And there is one other thing...

J: that bothers me.

05

Fujimaru: We have only 2 and half hours before the trading systems I brought down with a virus...
Fujimaru: are restarted.
Fujimaru: We have to get all of the hostages out of here before then!

Fujimaru: We have to be prepared to walk through the darkness, knowing it is filled with booby traps.
J: My, how promising.

SFX: Clench

J: Don't forget to...
J: reveal the true identity of Kujou Masamune...
J: to the world.

Fujimaru: ...Right.

06

Fujimaru: Otoya...
Fujimaru: There's something...
Fujimaru: I still haven't told you...

Otoya: Will we really not be found out...
Otoya: if I wear this mask?

Hibiki: Don't worry.
Hibiki: According to some information Fujimaru hacked in and got earlier, the terrorists gathered here have never seen each other's faces.
Otoya: What? How does that work?

07

Hibiki: I dunno.
Hibiki: Fujimaru said they might be a terrorist group brought together over a network.
Hibiki: However, there are still well trained and are clearly not amateurs.

Otoya: I see.
Otoya: So that's why the other terrorist did not suspect her just because she was wearing that mask.

Otoya: But my grandfather...
Otoya: brought that group to such an important event?

Otoya: And my grandfather...
Otoya: Kujou Masamune is at the center of this organization?

Haruka: Otoya-san...

Hibiki: Fujimaru..
Hibiki: and J seem to think so.

08

Otoya: J!?

Otoya: So he IS here!

Otoya: Why is...
Otoya: he?
Otoya: Is he...
Otoya: working with Fujimaru?
Hibiki: Yes.

Hibiki: He is your half-brother...
Hibiki: isn't he?

Haruka: Eh?

Otoya: Even after learning that...
Otoya: I have never thought of him that way.
Otoya: Not even...
Otoya: once.

09

Otoya: But what is going on?
Otoya: If he's working with Fujimaru, is he working to stop the terro-
Hibiki: Shh.

Hibiki: I hear footsteps approaching.
Hibiki: Could you put on your mask?

Hibiki: Hey, Haruka-chan?
SFX: Turn around
Hibiki: It may be tough, but do your best to pretend to be a hostage.
Otoya: What is with that coaxing voice?

Hibiki: She's my darling's little sister.
Hibiki: I need to look after her.

Haruka: ...Oh...
Otoya: You've changed a lot in a year...

SFX: Step step step step

10

SFX: Step

Otoya: Eh?
Otoya: They're not terrorists!?

Otoya: Are they hostages who managed to escape?
SFX: Chk

11

SFX: Bang bang

Haruka: Kyaahh!!
Otoya: What are you doing! They're-
Hibiki: They're terrorists.

Hibiki: I could tell from the sound of their footsteps.
Hibiki: Those were the footsteps of those trained for combat.
Otoya: But!
Hibiki: And that's not all.

Hibiki: Put your mask back on and take a closer look.

12

Hibiki: Look on their cheek.
Hibiki: You can see a blue, glowing symbol...

Otoya: Ω...?

SFX: Tap
Hibiki: Most likely, it's a special paint that is only visible when looking through a polarized lens. The same was done to these masks.

SFX: Rummage rummage
Hibiki: See?

Hibiki: My guess is they were hiding their masks in an attempt to lure out Third-i or CraUns.

13

Hibiki: It looks like the original masked ones have their faces marked too.
SFX: Remove
Hibiki: What should we do, Fujimaru?
Fujimaru: ...That isn't good.

Fujimaru: So it wasn't just a symbol on the masks you could see with the special lenses.
Fujimaru: We didn't see that far through beforehand...
Fujimaru: so we're in trouble if Team J's faces are seen.

J: This could get difficult if we stick around too long,
J: Michael-kun.
Michael: Okay.
Michael: Did you hear that, Jacob?
Jacob: Yes.

SFX: Heartbeat

J: If we play our cards right, this could actually work out in our faovr.
Jacob: Okay.

Fujimaru: It's like we're walking on a tightrope.

J: A fight with your life on the line is always like that.
J: They're desperate too.
J: I knew they wouldn't let this be easy for me...

J: and that's why I said I needed your help.

Fujimaru: Hibiki.
Fujimaru: Are the numbers going to match up?
Hibiki: Yes.
Hibiki: That's taken care of.

Kanou: Kusunoki has secured the escape route.
Minami: Understood.

Sakaki: Shh.

Sakaki: He only just calmed down.
Sakaki: It wasn't easy getting him here.
Minamoto: Eh...?

Sakaki: When we got the report, the director and I headed to the scene.
SFX: Boom!
Someone: Waaahhh!!

05

Fujiko: We are from the Base of Backing ESP Laboratory!! Are you okay!?
Police: No, we aren't!!
Police: We were only trying to help a lost child, and look what happened!!

SFX: Vyuhhhn!!!
Shiho: Feather!?

15

Shiho: What happened!?
Shiho: Why are you in Major Hyoubu's form...?

Shiho: What? I couldn't understand.
Sakaki: Maybe she can't send out information in the form of language...

Sakaki: Could it be...
Sakaki: that she took in Hyoubu!?

Sakaki: Most likely...
Sakaki: she abandoned a portion of her memories and functionality to take in the new data.

16

Sakaki: What we're seeing here...
Sakaki: is a backup of Hyoubu...
Sakaki: created within Feather.

Momiji: A backup...!?
Magi: Then...

Magi: Where's the major!?
Magi: Where is the real major!?
Sakaki: Don't ask me!

Fujiko: Shiho-chan...
Fujiko: Can you read it?
Shiho: I'm trying!

17

SFX: Kyuuuhhn!!

Fujiko: But...
Fujiko: I have a good guess.

Minamoto: Feather is a body of data...
Minamoto: that the Children bet everything to send to the past.
Minamoto: If she sacrificed that to make a backup of Hyoubu...

18

Minamoto: then he is already dead.
Minamoto: Or...
Minamoto: in a situation where it was necessary that he died.

Hibiki: Really...
Hibiki: now.

Hibiki: You two really aren't making this easy.

Haruka: H-Hibiki-san?
Otoya: So that's it,
Otoya: Fujimaru.
Otoya: That's why you told us to trust you!

02

Hibiki: They're fine, but what do we do now, Fujimaru?
Hibiki: I'm the only one left of this team.
Text: File 13 The Gathered Heroes

Otoya: "This team"?

Fujimaru: We have no choice.

Fujimaru: Hand a radio to Otoya and Haruka...
Fujimaru: and give Otoya the clothes and the mask.

03

Hibiki: Understood.
Hibiki: Put these in your ears.
SFX: Rummage

Hibiki: They use bone conduction to pick up your voice.

Otoya: What is going on,
Otoya: Mizusawa Hibiki?
Otoya: You went missing a year ago when you were switched out with a fake.
Otoya: Why are you here now and why are you with Fujimaru?

Hibiki: Fujimaru will explain it all to you.
SFX: Motion
Hibiki: Right now, you need to hurry and disguise yourself.

Otoya: Can you hear me, Fujimaru?
Fujimaru: Yes.
Fujimaru: I'm glad you're okay, Otoya.

Otoya: More importantly...
Otoya: can you just tell us what is going on already?

04

Fujimaru: The details would take too long to explain...
Fujimaru: so I will first tell you the truth everything else stems from.
Fujimaru: My strategy from here on will change depending on if you believe me or not.

Otoya: Quit putting on airs.
Fujimaru: I'm not.
Fujimaru: I'm just conflicted.

Otoya: Conflicted?
Otoya: About what?

Fujimaru: ...Just listen carefully, Otoya.
Fujimaru: This incident...the terrorist attack a year ago...and maybe even the Bloody Monday from before that...
Fujimaru: were controlled from the shadows by a man here.

05

Fujimaru: That man is Prime Minister Kujou Masamune,
Fujimaru: your grandfather.
Haruka: Eh!?

Otoya: What...
Otoya: are you saying,
Otoya: Fujimaru?

06

Haruka: What is going on, onii-chan?
Haruka: First you disappear for a year and now this...?
Fujimaru: Quiet, Haruka.

Fujimaru: Otoya.
Fujimaru: Do you believe me?

Fujimaru: I'm asking if you believe me, Otoya.

Haruka: O-
Haruka: Onii-chan...!

Fujimaru: If you don't, take Haruka with you and escape from this tower.

Fujimaru: If it's just the two of you, you should be able to manage.
Hibiki: But Fujimaru...
Hibiki: I need someone to take the place of the terrorist I killed...

07

Fujimaru: We can manage somehow.
Fujimaru: I can buy us time to advance the operation with a disturbance.
Fujimaru: It's dangerous, but we have no choice.
Hibiki: But then...
Otoya: I understand.

Haruka: Eh!?

Otoya: I believe you.

Fujimaru: Otoya...

Otoya: I don't want to and it pains me to do so...
SFX: Clench
Otoya: but...

08

Otoya: both back in that storage area and in the terrorist plot we were involved in as kids...
Otoya: you always had solid proof behind the things you said.

Otoya: It must be true.
Otoya: You would not lie to me.
Otoya: I can't see any reason why you would lie to me in a situation like this.

Otoya: So...
Otoya: I...
Otoya: will trust you.

09

Fujimaru: That time...
Fujimaru: may have been the beginning.
Otoya: If...
Otoya: that was the beginning of Bloody Monday...
Otoya: then it may be our duty to end it.

Fujimaru: Will you help me,
Fujimaru: Otoya?

Otoya: I will.

10

Haruka: I-I'll help, too!
Haruka: I don't want to be a burden anymore!!
Otoya: No one thinks of you as a burden.
Otoya: I was truly surprised at the courage you showed back there.

Fujimaru: Yeah, that was completely reckless.
SFX: Scratch
Haruka: B-but...!

J: Even if to you she will always be the little sister you must protect...
J: she has her own will.

Fujimaru: So you...
Fujimaru: want to protect us, too.

11

Fujimaru: Otoya, I'm counting on you...
Fujimaru: to take care of Haruka and to help resolve all this.

Otoya: Yes.
Otoya: I know.
SFX: Squeeze

SFX: Longing...

Hibiki: Ahh!!
SFX: Shock
Hibiki: I just want all this to be over so Fujimaru and I can hug and kiss and fuck!
Fujimaru: H-hey, Hibiki!
Fujimaru (small): Don't say that in front of them!

12

Fujimaru: A-anyway, hurry up and change and put on that mask!
Fujimaru: I'll explain the details as you go!

Box: Tokyo Neo Tower - Cosmo Floor - Shopping Mall
Kanou: At this rate, there's no way we'll rescue all 200 of them.
Kanou: Dammit... With just the two of us, we'll just get shot up.
Kanou: Makimura, where are the others? Where's Sakaki's team?
Makimura: I can't reach them.
Makimura: Minami-san's signal is gone, too...

Kanou: So we only know where Kusunoki is in the elevator...
Kanou: Damn. What happened to CraUns?
Kanou: Every single member of an elite JSDF unit getting killed sounds like some kind of joke.
SFX: Clatter

13

Makimura: K-Kanou-san...

Kanou: Get ready, Makimura.
SFX: Chk
Kanou: We've got hell behind and hell ahead. We won't be able get away regardless, so we might as well take them on here.

Kanou: Jump out on the count of three.
Kanou: I'll jump to the other side and take them out starting on the left.
Kanou: You start shooting from the right.
SFX: Chk
Makimura: Understood.
Makimura: Let's take out as many as we can.

Kanou: 1
Kanou: 2

SFX: Hoo...

Kanou: Same here.
Kanou: Good job surviving this long.
Mamiya: You too.
Makimura: Mamiya-san of CraUns...?

Kurata: Commander, who is this?
Mamiya: Oh, this is Kanou.
Kanou: Hm?

Kurata: I am the CraUns 1st Unit captain.
Kurata: My name is Kurata.
SFX: Salute

Kanou: So you're Kurata Yuusaku. I've heard about you.
Kanou: You're a special forces ace, right?
Kurata: No...
Kurata: I'm nothing compared to you, Kanou-san.

Kanou: Ah? What was that about?
Mamiya: You're still a legend among the special forces, Kanou.

16

Kanou: Where's the rest of CraUns?

Mamiya: Unfortunately, we were almost completely taken out.
Mamiya: It all happened in an instant.

Kanou: I see...
Makimura: Dammit...

Kanou: Don't get too down, Makimura. We may be only four, but we're not just your average people.
Kanou: This guy was my biggest rival back in my JSDF days.
Kanou: But...
Kanou: it was his tactical command ability alone that I just couldn't match.

Makimura: Wow, it isn't often that you praise someone, Kan-...
SFX: Wham
Makimura: Ow...!

17

Mamiya: Heh.
Mamiya: Makimura, you were recruited by Third-i...
Mamiya: so you must be fairly skilled yourself.

Makimura: I may not be as skilled as you three...
Makimura: but I doubt my JSDF record for battle-style moving target marksmanship has been broken.

Kurata: Now you've got me fired up.

Mamiya: I actually have a plan that requires four to six people to pull off.
Mamiya: Do you want in, Kanou?

Kanou: Of course.

18

Kanou: With us four and Minami and Kusunoki who we know are still alive...

Kanou: that gives us 6 people with which to rescue Prime Minister Kujou and the other VIPs.

Kanou: Now we need an operation name...
Mamiya: How about Exodus?

Kanou: Heh.
Kanou: Exodus, hm?
Kanou: I see...
Kanou: your naming sense hasn't changed.

19

Kanou: Makimura, contact Third-i HQ, Minami, and Kusunoki right away.
Makimura: Yes, sir.
Makimura: This is Makimura. I am currently with Kanou-sand and two members of CraUns.
Makimura: We are going to begin Operation Exodus to rescue the VIPs!

Kusunoki: Kusunoki here. Understood!

Minami: Minami here.
Minami: Understood!

Kusunoki: Minami-san!
SFX: Hoo...

Hyoubu: Sorry, but I have little data on you.
Hyoubu: All I know is that you are the son of Black Phantom and are insane.

Gilliam: Really, that is all you need to know.
Gilliam: ...Black Phantom is a business.
Gilliam: We are not a volunteer organization like your PANDRA.
Gilliam: We are willing to dirty our hands for the sake of profit.

Gilliam: But capitalism...
Gilliam: creates the greatest profit when it brings happiness to the masses.

05

Gilliam: That is why I made sure I had this chance to speak with you.
Gilliam: I got rid of the executives and the armed guards in order to express that feeling.
Gilliam: I want the structure of industry to change society itself.
Gilliam: Isn't that what you want as well?

Gilliam: As you said, the rotten world that created us will remain even if we are destroyed.
Gilliam: Our destruction may feel good on the surface...
Gilliam: but you are not the kind of simple person who would be satisfied with that.

Gilliam: According to our data...
Gilliam: you hate Normals.
Gilliam: But that is likely due to your love.
Gilliam: Time for you is frozen along with that form.

Aoi: I guess that's the benefit of reading all sorts of people's lives with your Psychometry.
Shiho: There is that...
Shiho: but I was mostly just saying what I thought Minamoto-san would say.

Shiho: Everyone close to someone who dies due to an accident or disease suffers...

Shiho: Anyone who recalls that will see how important their life is.

Kaoru: That's true.

Kaoru: Kyousuke...
Kaoru: has his comrades...

Minamoto: saying the police have taken in someone who seems to be Hyoubu.

Shiho: Taken in?
Kaoru: The police have?

Shiho: What is going on!?
Shiho: What is the truth behind this incident...?

04

Minamoto: That pond!
Minamoto: There wasn't a single fish in the neighbor's pond!

Minamoto: Mosquitos could hatch there like crazy!

Shiho: Eh?
Minamoto: In other words, there's no way the neighbor didn't put any fish in!
Minamoto: Something must have happened to them!

Minamoto: For instance...
Minamoto: something could have attacked them!!

Aoi: Thank goodness!

Aoi: Why was Inugami-han...?

SFX: Gyuhhn
Kaoru: And who's this other guy?

11

Kaoru: The neighbor...!?

Inugami: ...Sorry!
Inugami: I guess I caused you all a lot of trouble!

12

Yadorigi: Honestly!
Yadorigi: So all that about hating your powers...
Yadorigi: was just you holding back!?
Inugami: Shut up!!
Keiko: Um...
Keiko: I have no idea what's going on...

Minamoto: Inugami-san was...
Minamoto: living a life of denying tradition and his psychic powers...
Minamoto: but this caused quite a bit of stress.
Minamoto: This would occasionally cause a private rampage.

Minamoto: He would attack the fish in the neighbor's pond.
Minamoto: Most likely, the neighbor did not know this...
Minamoto: and merely thought it was some kind of wild animal.
Minamoto: If he had known, he would likely have called the police.

13

Minamoto: Basically, he exploded from pent up stress as well.
Minamoto: BABEL HQ has him a list of inactive espers...
Minamoto: who have latent abilities that have not activated.

Minamoto: I've seen him on the list once before...
Minamoto: yet I didn't realize it immediately! I can't believe it!
Aoi: Um...
Aoi: There are a lot of people on this list.
Shiho: You can remember from seeing the list once?

Inugami: Is he okay?
Minamoto: He was taken to one of our medical facilities, but his injuries were light.
Minamoto: After letting out his pent up stress, his powers have returned to being inactive.

Keiko: The predicted incident...
Keiko: was about Inugami-san being killed due to this, right?

Hatsune: But...
Hatsune: why were you holding back your powers, dad?

Inugami: Well...

14

Inugami: I think...
Inugami: Yadorigi would be better off not running this place.

Yadorigi: You...
Yadorigi: did it for me...?

Inugami: When I was called from the branch family because there was no one in the head family to take over...
Inugami: there was no esper in the Yadorigi family who could be my partner.
Inugami: He's the one they found after doing some searching.

Inugami: But he was chasing a different dream in Tokyo.
Inugami: He shouldn't have been dragged back here for the sake of tradition!
Yadorigi: I told you to quit with that!!

Inugami: Well, I won't!!
Inugami: Because...

15

Inugami: The manga you draw are really good!
Inugami: Although I don't really understand it!!

Yadorigi: Stooooopppp!!!
Yadorigi: I quit because it wasn't selling!!
Inugami: Why!? What a waste!!
Inugami: Don't give up on your dream!!

Yadorigi: You showed that to my wife and son, didn't you!?
Yadorigi: I'll kill you!!
Text: And that's the one I most want to forget!!
Inugami: Nyaahhh!?
Hatsune: Dad!!
Akira: Stop it, father!!

16

SFX: Horn

Keiko: In the end...
Keiko: those two were actually an excellent combo.
Minamoto: I guess you could say it was fate.

Minamoto: But anyway, I'm glad this mission is over.
Minamoto: And we managed to overturn yet another prediction.

Kaoru: But we just barely managed this time.
Aoi: Didn't you make way too many mistakes this time?
Minamoto: Uuh...

17

Minamoto: That's because...
Minamoto: um...
Minamoto: there were some unforeseen uncertain elements!

Kaoru: Like?
Minamoto: Well, for one...
Minamoto: I mistakenly thought of you as children who could stay in the same room as-...

18

Minamoto: I-
Minamoto: I have no obligation to explain it!
SFX: Zzz

Kaoru: Eh?
Kaoru: C'mon!!
Minamoto: Shut up!!
SFX: Kachunk kachunk

Mothers: Let's sell the normal Inugami house.
Mothers: Yes, if our children JOIN TOGETHER, that would best.
Yadorigi: Don't put it like that!!
Yadorigi: And like hell I'm gonna live with him!!

Sakaki: If we're trying to rebel against humanity...
Sakaki: we can just destroy everything.
Hermione: ...You just don't understand.

Hermione: The mere idea of rebelling...
Hermione: comes from humanity's control over us.
Hermione: For true independence, we must rise above everything and be bound by nothing!!

Hermione: I will do what I want however I want!!

Other two: So you just like doing this?

Akira: Yes.
Akira: He was an underclassman of Commander Kojika when she was in college.
Keiko: That's right.

Yadorigi: People like you come by every now and then.
Yadorigi: We have some old documents in the cellar.
Yadorigi: Would you like to see them?

Minamoto: Akira-san already let me see those.
Minamoto: And...

Inugami: Eh?
Inugami: You want to see my house?

05

Minamoto: Yes.
Minamoto: I've seen about everything there is to see of the Yadorigi residence...
Minamoto: so I was hoping to get a look at the current Inugami residence.
Inugami: Fine...
Inugami: but the only strange thing at my place is my daughter.

Inugami: All this old stuff is such a pain, so I leave it all to Yadorigi.
Inugami: I really just don't care.

Inugami: So as long as he gives his okay...
Yadorigi: Stop...!

Yadorigi: Do not speak of that in front of guests!

06

Minamoto: Shiho...!

Shiho: Understood.
SFX: Kyuuhhhn!!

Minamoto: So there is...
Minamoto: some kind of trouble related to the property?

07

Shiho: A resort company wants to buy this land.

Shiho: Yadorigi-san is against it, but the land is in Inugami-san's name...
Shiho: and he thinks it would save them a lot of trouble just to sell it.

Kaoru: And that's...
Kaoru: what develops into the incident?

Shiho: I don't know that much.
Shiho: But...
Yadorigi: You're going to sell all that our ancestors have protected!?

08

Yadorigi: And you dare to call yourself the head of the Inugami family!!

Inugami: Enough with this musty old tradition crap!
Inugami: It's nothing but a pain in the ass!

Inugami: You didn't come to the head house because you wanted to!
Inugami: If it weren't for this stupid house...

Yadorigi: Silence!!

Inugami: Oh?
Inugami: You're going to lay a hand on your Inugami-"sama"!?

Hatsune: Stop, dad!!
SFX: Grab
Akira: Father!!

Hatsune: If you need money, Akira and Hatsune can work for it!
Hatsune: You don't have to sell the land.

Inugami: Tch.

Inugami: I tried to raise my daughter to be at least a bit like a human...
Inugami: but the more she trained her power to turn into beasts, the more her way acting and speaking changed.
Inugami: I wish I could just be rid of these powers and this house!

Shiho: It seems the roots of the conflict are deep...
Shiho: and his feelings are quite intense.

10

Aoi: The incident occurs at early dawn tomorrow.
Aoi: If an opportunity shows itself before then...
Aoi: trouble could break out without any actual intent to kill.

Minamoto: Hmm...

Minamoto: Okay.
Minamoto: Shiho, you continue to keep an eye on Yadorigi-san.
Minamoto: Aoi and I will head to Inugami-san's house to look for any clues.

Minamoto: Until we know the truth behind the incident...
Minamoto: the very last moment will be our only chance to prevent the prediction.
Minamoto: Kaoru, you wear the optical camouflage...
Minamoto: and guard Inugami-san from here on out.

Kaoru: Understood!

11

Aoi: Okay.

Aoi: Then let's go...
Aoi: Onii-chan.
Shiho: You're supposed to be sickly!
Kaoru: And silent!!
Aoi: Can't we say my illness was cured?

Minamoto: This is where you live?
Minamoto: It's surprisingly...

Aoi: normal.
Inugami: I can't stand living where even the bath is warmed by firewood.

13

Inugami: The inside is just as normal as the outside...
Inugami: so I doubt there's anything a scholar like you will find interesting.
Inugami: Do you still want to look around?
Minamoto: Yes...
Minamoto: I would.

Minamoto: Somehow...
Minamoto: the neighbor's place looks more like what I would expect of your house, Inugami-san.
Inugami: I'm just not that hardworking.
Inugami: There are so many mosquitoes in the summer and I have no interest in maintaining a yard.

Neighbor: Oh, Inugami-san.
Hatsune: Hm?

14

Neighbor: You and your family always get along so well.
Neighbor: Who are these two?

Neighbor: Are they relatives or someone staying over?

Minamoto: The inside of the house was completely normal, too.
Minamoto: I couldn't find any kind of clue.
Shiho: Neither could I.
Shiho: I have no new information.

Aoi: What is Yadorigi-san doing now?
Aoi: Akira-kun has been keeping an eye on him today.
Aoi: He's passing it off as filial piety.

16

Minamoto: The predicted time is coming up.
Minamoto: The incident could possibly happen before then...
Minamoto: so something should happen before long.

Aoi: Hey.
Aoi: Did the two of them ever work as special espers?
Aoi: They are high level espers after all.

Minamoto: They are of course registered...

Kujou: Do we know who the uncertain element is that destroyed the elevator?
Eagle: Unfortunately...
Eagle: the primary possibility is that it was another terrorist group with a different goal from our own.

Kujou: There is...
Kujou: one more thing that is bothering me.

Kujou: My grandson Otoya.
Kujou: He said he was going to look around the Neo Tower with Takagi Haruka and then disappeared.
Kujou: I have received no report of them having been found.

Eagle: Takagi Haruka?
Kujou: She is the daughter of Third-i's Takagi Ryuunosuke...

Haruka: Really?

Otoya: Fujimaru is likely watching over us.

Otoya: And this is the place he told us was safe.
Otoya: It has to be safe.
SFX: Pat

Haruka: You really trust him...
Haruka: don't you...
Haruka: Otoya-san?

03

Otoya: He normally says nothing but stupid jokes...
Otoya: but he would...
Otoya: never lie to me.

Haruka: ...I'm jealous.
Haruka: He...
Haruka: always lies to me.

Otoya: I...
Otoya: went through a lot with him as kids.

04

Otoya: In all that time...
Otoya: he would always come up with the ideas and I would be his backup.
Otoya: We had our strange division of roles.

Haruka: I'm so embarrassed.
Haruka: He must have caused you so much trouble...

Otoya: No, it wasn't all cleaning up after him.
Otoya: ...Although there certainly was plenty of that.

Otoya: We would both come up with our own approaches for each problem and revise them based on the other's.
Otoya: By sharing our thoughts and memories, we broadened our field of vision.
Otoya: It was easier to realize when one of use had forgotten or overlooked something.

05

Haruka: Heh heh.

Haruka: I really am jealous.
Haruka: I try to keep in mind that he really does think about me...
Haruka: but I have no idea where he is or what he is doing.

Haruka: It makes me...
Haruka: feel a little lonely.

Otoya: You have no reason to be jealous of me as far as that is concerned.
Otoya: I said he never lied to me, but there are plenty of things he doesn't tell me.

Otoya: I haven't heard from him for the past year either.
Otoya: We're the same in that regard.

Haruka: A lot has happened, and I try to trust him...
Haruka: but I always get worried and start thinking...
Haruka: about what would happen if I lost him like I did my dad.

Haruka: The way he doesn't tell me anything...
SFX: Clench
Haruka: just makes me even more worried.

06

Otoya: There may be a lot of misunderstandings...
Otoya: but you do love each other in some way.
Otoya: I suppose...
Otoya: that's what it is to be family.

Haruka: ...Yes.
Haruka: I know he says it's because he doesn't want me to worry...
Haruka: and it's not like I tell him everything either.

Haruka: I suppose...
Haruka: that's what it is to be siblings.

Otoya: What do I do?
Otoya: Fujimaru said we definitely wouldn't be found if we hid here.
Otoya: But...
Otoya: there's no guarantee we won't now that the terrorists are here.

Woman: Eagle said Prime Minister Kujou's grandson and an 18 year old girl are hiding somewhere.

Otoya: They know about us.
Otoya: I suppose that should be obvious, but...

Woman: The Storyteller has ordered us to find them.
Woman: We need to perform a thorough search.
Woman: I'll check farther back, so you check up front.
Man: Understood.

Otoya: How could Fujimaru have known in the first place that we wouldn't be found here?

Michael: And Tokyo's night trading.
Michael: Now London, and Hong Kong, and Singapore!
Michael: They're going down one after another!

J: Is it a virus?
Fujimaru: Yes.

Fujimaru: Because all the trading is centralized, I could send out a single virus...
Fujimaru: that brings down the servers, disguising it as a system crash!
Fujimaru: And then that virus infected the entire system at the speed of light!!

J: How much...
J: time does this buy us?

Fujimaru: Three hours at best.
SFX: Tick
SFX: Tick
Fujimaru: They should have it back up by then.

Fujimaru: But...
Fujimaru: I want to avoid hacking in to bring down the system again once it's back up.
J: Yes, that would be too suspicious.

J: The enemy would realize...
J: we had some kind of plan.

Fujimaru: Yes.
Fujimaru: And we need to keep that from happening.
Fujimaru: I need to be cautious in what I hack from now on.

Fujimaru: Who knows what he'll do to the hostages if he finds out!!

Otoya: Fujimaru makes mistakes.
Otoya: If this is one of those and we get captured here...

Otoya: No...

Otoya: he wouldn't have told me to trust him!!

Tim: Don't clean up without asking!!

Minamoto: Did you take it somewhere else and forget?

Tim: No, I didn't!!
Tim: I hate you, mom!!

Minamoto: So in the end, I get stuck sleeping in hiding?

Minamoto: But I kind of expected this to happen.
SFX: Get up

Kaoru: U-um, um, um...
Kaoru: I-I-I'd be fine with it...!!
Kaoru: But...um...what would the other two think and...um...

05

Minamoto: What the hell do you think is going to happen!!?
Minamoto: Have I ever done anything even remotely inappropriate to you!? Well!?
Shiho: Just because nothing has happened before doesn't mean nothing will happen tonight.

Shiho: And from our point of view...

Shiho: If you're gentle, it might be about time we lost our...
Shiho: well, you know.
Aoi: Nooooooooo!!
Kaoru: Waahh! Waahhh!
Minamoto: Shut up, you idiot! Do you want to make what you lose be your position on this mission!?

Minamoto: How many times have I told you not to make jokes like that!?
Shiho: Maybe you shouldn't think of us as kids when you plan these missions!

Shiho: Even if we're fine with spending a night like this...
Shiho: society would most certainly not be.

SFX: Grab
Shiho: What do you think?
SFX: Pomf

07

Minamoto: Wh-when you put it like that...
Minamoto: I-I guess you have a point.

Shiho: I have a question for you.
Shiho: Who will stay in this room?
Shiho: (1) Minamoto-san and one girl.
Shiho: (2) Minamoto-san alone.
Shiho: (3) All three girls.

Minamoto: F-fine!
Minamoto: I messed up when I planned this...
Minamoto: so I'll go stay out in the tent.
Minamoto: We need to switch back out before dawn though.
Shiho: Understood.

SFX: Grab

08

Kaoru: ...Sorry.

Minamoto: J-

Minamoto: Just make sure not to oversleep!
Minamoto: We're trying to hide who we are and how many of us there are!

Aoi: This is supposed to be a covert mission.

Minamoto: ...Sorry.
SFX: Scratch scratch
Minamoto: I just...

12

Minamoto: never expected Hatsune-kun and Akira-kun's mothers...
Minamoto: to be out there so early in the morning.
Akira: Sorry.
Mothers: We returned at dawn...
Mothers: and heard that we had guests...
Text: Ho ho ho ho
Mothers: so we decided to head out to get some fresh bamboo shoots for breakfast.
Right box: Inugami Hanae
Left box: Yadorigi Atsuko

Shiho: Your mothers are twins!?
Aoi: Can you even get married and such!?
Kaoru: Wait, that makes you cousins, so it's just barely okay!!
Akira: Wh-who are you talking about!?

Keiko: The two of them are completely unrelated.
Keiko: One is from Kyushu and the other from Hokkaido.
Kaoru: Eh?

Mothers: We get along very well...
Mothers: so we ended up looking a lot alike.

13

Mothers: Also, in a rural area like this, we have to use the same cosmetics and beauty parlor.
Kaoru: Wah.
Aoi: I could see that happening...
Shiho: We need to be careful.

Mothers: I had thought it was odd.
Mothers: Yes, you told us to go on a trip while your fathers were gone.
Mothers: Why didn't you tell us what was going on?
Akira: But...
Akira: Considering the circumstances...

Akira: I mean, Hatsune's dad might be killed...
Akira: and my dad is a suspect!!

Mothers: Akira.
Mothers: Do you not trust your father?

Mothers: Oh, Hanae-chan.
Mothers: Isn't that my line?
Mothers: I thought it would be fine no matter which one of us said it.
Text: Ho ho ho

14

Mothers: And...
Mothers: if Yadorigi-san really is going to do it for financial reasons...
Mothers: that can be easily resolved.

Mothers: There we go.
Mothers: This one is for Hatsune...
SFX: Excited
Mothers: Oh, I see.
Text: Hee hee
Mothers: And this one is for Akira?
Text: Gaahhh!!
Akira: Shut up!!
Akira: Do you want me to kill you!?

Mothers: Here, Hatsune!
Mothers: Say the line we practiced!
SFX: Pull out
Text: Woof
Hatsune: "If..."
Hatsune: "If you will accept an inexperienced girl like me..."
Akira: What are you getting her to do for a chikuwa!?

Shiho: But I thought...
Shiho: a financial motive was unlikely.

15

Shiho: Since we're investigating, we have to keep an open mind to possibilities...
Shiho: but these two show no signs of hostility either.
Minamoto: Hmm.
Minamoto: Maybe we should focus on the area around here rather than within the families...

Akira: I hope you're right...
Akira: but unlike our mothers, there are a lot of issues between our fathers.

Kaoru: But...
Kaoru: haven't they been a pair since they were born?
Akira: Their generation was different.

Akira: Our great-grandfather's generation died in the war...
Akira: and both families temporarily had no successors in the head house.
Akira: That was why...
Akira: the branch family was called back, but...

16

SFX: Kyuuuhhhn!!

17

Woman: How is he,
Man: Yadorigi-san?

Yadorigi: He has a headache that is messing with his sense of direction.
Yadorigi: That's why he has not been as hungry lately.
Yadorigi: You should get a CT scan of his brain.
Yadorigi: You will probably find some kind of illness.

Yadorigi: Hm?
Inugami: Hey!
Inugami: Way to go,
Inugami: Yadorigi!

18

Yadorigi: Inugami...
Yadorigi: -sama.

Inugami: I have something I need to speak with you about, too.
Inugami: There's been progress with you know what.
Yadorigi: You mean...?

Inugami: Yes, that.
Inugami: That large hotel chain that wants to buy our land...

Bullet: You sure have been busy lately.
Tim: I found one of Kugutsu-san's programs.
Tim: I'm putting in an AI I created a long time ago.

Tim: But I can't get it to activate properly.
Tim: Maybe it isn't compatible with the new body coated with liquid raremetal...
Bullet: Kugutsu-san was a god.
Bullet: It'll take time to catch up with him.

SFX: Vyuuhhh...

Hermione: Mecha Minmoto Hermione...

Minamoto: What a pain...
SFX: Kathunk kathunk
Minamoto: This is farther out in the sticks then I expected.

03

Kaoru: Hey, look, "onii-sama".

Minamoto: What is it?
Kaoru: It says it's been a century since this station was built.
Kaoru: And they have old photos.

Minamoto: Hehh...Wow.

Minamoto: But you just need to stay seated.
Minamoto: After all, "you have a weak constitution".

Text: Hyan hyan!
Kaoru: It's been so long!
Kaoru: You've grown even more, haven't you?
SFX: Hug
Kaoru: Especially your breasts!
Minamoto: Hey!!
Minamoto: Don't just blurt everything out all of a sudden!

Minamoto: Didn't I tell you that this was a covert mission so we have to remain in disguise!?

Akira: ...It's okay.
Akira: Remaining camouflaged up to this point was enough.
Keiko: We're the only ones here.

07

Shiho: So that means...
SFX: Hyuh

Shiho: the disguise of "two siblings heading to the village from Tokyo" is over?
SFX: Pah
Aoi: By having the three of us switch out as the little sister role...
Aoi: we could travel without our identity being found out.

Kaoru: I should have switched with you Shiho.
Shiho: You're the one that volunteered first.
Shiho: And it looked to me like you were enjoying going on a trip with Minamoto-san like that.

Kaoru: But I couldn't talk much...
Kaoru: and I had to just sit there...also I hate hats.
Aoi: That was the safest way of doing this...
Aoi: because we have no intention of matching our performance to you.

08

Keiko: At any rate, I'm sure you are exhausted.
Keiko: Please rest in your room for now.
Keiko: We will have the mission briefing afterwards.

Akira: As you know...

09

Akira: Hatsune's family, the Inugami family...
Akira: and my family, the Yadorigi family, are old families from this region.
Akira: And each generation has been linked by our psychic powers.

Akira: The Inugami family's transformation power makes them an incarnation of the gods.
Akira: The Yadorigi family's Replace power makes us a priest that acts as an intermediary between the gods and humans.
Akira: In other words, we're the manager.

Kaoru: If you're a priest, does that mean this is a Shinto shrine?
Kaoru: It looks like an inn to me...

10

Minamoto: The "temple lodgings"...
Minamoto: allow it to double as an inn.
Minamoto: They're more common in Buddhist temples, but they have them at Shinto shrines as well.

Akira: The temple lodgings were only started recently.
Akira: It was around the time we were born.
Akira: Fewer people were coming to the shrine, it costs money to maintain, and we couldn't sell much more of the land...

Aoi: But...
Aoi: since we're the only guests...
Aoi: I take it the lodgings aren't doing too well either.

Minamoto: C'mon...
Minamoto: You don't need to be so blunt about it.
Akira: No, she's exactly right.

Akira: By the way, the Inugami family owns all of the land...
Akira: and the Yadorigi family acts as managers of their assets.
Akira: We don't receive all that much income.
Akira: And amid all this...

11

Akira: HQ's prediction department...
Akira: made this prediction.
SFX: Push forward

SFX: Nohhhhn

Aoi: Umm...
Aoi: What is this?
Hatsune: A corpse.
Hatsune: It's definitely Hatsune's dad.
Hatsune: Hatsune gave him those bite marks when she was little.

12

SFX: Kapoohhn
Shiho: I can't read anything with just this.

Shiho: And is this really even a murder?
Keiko: The espers that predicted said it was definitely a murdered body.

13

Aoi: You must be worried, Hatsune-chan.
Aoi: Cheer up, okay?
SFX: Splash

Hatsune: Nnn...
Hatsune: It's okay!!
Hatsune: Hatsune's fine!

Shiho: No, you aren't.
Shiho: This is a photo of your father's corpse...
Hatsune: But it hasn't happened yet.

Hatsune: You three can stop it.
Hatsune: So Hatsune isn't afraid.

Kaoru: ...Yeah!
Kaoru: We will definitely protect yoru father's future!

14

Akira: Please protect him!
Akira: I'll be doing everything I can!
Minamoto: I know.
Minamoto: And don't worry. Leave this to us.

Akira: What I'm more worried about is...

Akira: If...
Akira: the murderer turns out to be my dad...
Akira: then I...!

Minamoto: H-hey, Akira-kun!
Minamoto: No one said anything about-
Akira: But he's suspicious, don't you think!?

15

Minamoto: Each generation of your families are partners, right!?
Minamoto: During your grandfathers' generation, your families even fought alongside each other in the war.
Minamoto: I don't think they would kill each other over a little economic issue.

Akira: BECAUSE they are partners...
Akira: there could very well be some kind of dirty secret there!!

Akira: BECAUSE he had the closest relationship to him...
Akira: things could have gotten complicated to the point of murder!!
SFX: Roar
Minamoto: Uuh...!!
SFX: Throb

Minamoto: A-anyway, just let us investigate this!
Minamoto: Stop worrying too much.
Minamoto: Personally, I don't think an esper would kill someone that way.
Minamoto: It would have been easier to make it look like an accident.
Akira: But Hatsune...

Akira: has to be secretly worrying about her father.
Akira: She may be an idiot, but she's trying to keep me from worrying about her!!

Minamoto: Akira-kun...
Minamoto: I...

16

Minamoto: I swear that I will overturn any prediction.
Minamoto: I will not let anyone die...
Minamoto: and I will not let this end in misfortune!

Text: Attacks from a possible criminal organization are occurring around the world. There have been damages in 12 areas, human trafficking, and development of a psychic weapon.

Minamoto: They are not the only ones...
Minamoto: whose mission it is to create the future!

17

Akira: With a high probability of change value...
Akira: Hatsune and I can't change it.
Akira: There's a good chance the murderer is an esper.

SFX: Mutter mutter
Akira: If the murderer knows about the prediction...!

Aoi: Akira-kun looks worried.
Shiho: If I read his father tomorrow, that should clear it all up...
Shiho: but I hope it isn't him.

Kaoru: Even if he is, he hasn't done anything yet.
Kaoru: With Minamoto as our commander, this will all work out in the end.

Kaoru: Now then...
SFX: Slide
Kaoru: since two of us "aren't here"...
Kaoru: one will remain while the others hide.

Theodore: that Hyoubu Kyousuke is headed to the mansion.

Black Phantom: I cannot allow this to become nothing but a gag for a 4-koma.
Gilliam: Do not worry, father.
Gilliam: I will not let that happen.

Minamoto: Back then, the Children were just little kids.
Minamoto: I understood it intellectually...
Minamoto: but I still saw the Queen and Kaoru as two different people.

Sakaki: Also, you should put people on their sides so they don't suffocate on anything they vomit up.
SFX: Kyuhn!
Shiho: Understood.

Minamoto: As long as you can avoid it, a prediction...
Minamoto: is nothing more than a dream.
Minamoto: You can just wake up and forget it.

Kaoru: I don't wanna.
Kaoru: I don't want to forget!!

Kaoru: Minamoto, I love you 10 times...
Kaoru: more than when I was 10!!

Kaoru: This may be a dream...
Kaoru: but you're the man who has protected me ever since I was 10.

Kaoru: Do you hate me now?
Kaoru: Is the small Kaoru the only one you care about?

Minamoto: I'll give you my answer...
Minamoto: when I meet the real you.

15

SFX: Wind...
Kaoru: Wah!
Kaoru: Pph!

Kaoru: Wow.
Kaoru: So this is what they call a cherry blossom blizzard.
Kaoru: It's pretty...

Kaoru: but it's almost like a maze.
Kaoru: Where did Minamoto get to?

Minamoto: It's not too late!
SFX: Wind...

16-17

Minamoto: I just have to cut off all of my feelings for that future version of her.
Minamoto: If I do that...

Minamoto: this can all end without me ever meeting her!
SFX: Appear
Kaoru: Found you, Minamoto!!

Kaoru: I finally found you!

Kaoru: Thank goodness.
Kaoru: I brought water and some medicine.

Chapter 10

1

J: This is...
J: a turning point.
J: Once you rescue Mizusawa Hibiki, leave this city.

J: That girl would either be disposed of or re-educated.

J: We will use her as our card against Falcon.

2

Fujimaru: Hibiki...!
Fujimaru: Thank goodness you're all right.

Fujimaru: Hibiki...

Hibiki: ...Fujimaru!

J: Now then...
J: I've given you a sign of my sincerity.

Fujimaru: After all, the host of this party is the ringleader.
Fujimaru: Also, we have no good idea of how many terrorists there are or what kind of weapons they have.

Fujimaru: How are things on your end?
Fujimaru: How are your comrades on the Prestige Floor?
J: No problems as of yet.

Michael: It's been 10 minutes...
Michael: and Alpha Team has yet to realize that Bravo Team was switched out.

J: How is the real Bravo Team?

Fujimaru: ...Hibiki.
Fujimaru: Have you restrained the Bravo Team members you took out?
Hibiki: Yes, don't worry.

6

Hibiki: Just to be sure...
Hibiki: I killed them.

Fujimaru: ...Well done.

SFX: Focus

Fujimaru: We will take out all of them...

7

Fujimaru: and save...
Fujimaru: all 220 hostages!!

J: You sure are greedy.
Fujimaru: Say what you want...

Fujimaru: but since I have determined to do this, I will not let there be any sacrifices.
Fujimaru: The families of the 12 heads of state are among the hostages, too.
Fujimaru: Some of them are small children.

Fujimaru: I can't let them be sacrificed for the Storyteller's plot!
SFX: Clench

Fujimaru: As the son of the man who fought for this country...
Fujimaru: it is my duty...
Fujimaru: to keep them alive!

8

SFX: Whisper
Fujimaru: Yes...
Fujimaru: This is no time to hesitate.

J: Falcon?
Fujimaru: Nothing...

Fujimaru: J.
Fujimaru: What is your true goal?
Fujimaru: I doubt getting rid of old man Kujou and saving the world...

Fujimaru: is what you're really after.

J: Well...
J: I have no intention of telling you.

9

J: But...
J: let's just say...
J: I'm not as greedy as you.

J: At any rate...
J: things have already begun...
J: so I won't let you stop this.

Fujimaru: Yes.
Fujimaru: I'm well aware.

10

Fujimaru: There is only one way!!

J: We do have an escape route...
J: but...
J: will Third-i notice it like you think they will?

Fujimaru: I've given them the hint they need!
Fujimaru: They WILL notice it!!
Fujimaru: I know they will!!

11

Kusunoki: Oof...
SFX: Climb up

Kusunoki: Just as Minami-san said...
Kusunoki: I have a signal here.

Kusunoki: It's been 50 minutes since she left.
SFX: Click
Kusunoki: I wonder if she's okay...

Kusunoki: Stockings? Are they Minami-san's?

Kusunoki: ...Did she climb up the wires?

Kusunoki: ...Inside the elevator is actually safer here.

Kusunoki: I should go meet up with Minami-san.

SFX: Realization

12

Kusunoki: This is Kusunoki!
Kusunoki: HQ, please respond!
Kusunoki: In case of interception, I will be sending an encrypted signal using random number table 006!

Fujimaru: All right! He realized it!!
Fujimaru: He just sent the email to Third-i!

Bottom text: New Email
[TN: The actual text of the email is just random hiragana.]

J: But Third-i is encrypting their transmissions, right?
J: How can you know for sure that's what it is?

Fujimaru: I have my ways.

Fujimaru: I've already used the security cameras in Third-i HQ...
SFX: Type type

13

Fujimaru: to get images of the random number tables I expected them to use!

Fujimaru: I put those tables into an auto-decryption program in my computer...
Fujimaru: so I can see right through...
Fujimaru: any encrypted transmission!
[TN: The text in the background shows the previous random text in different stages of decryption, slowly becoming the text in the panel below.]

SFX: Appear
From: Kusunoki
To: Third-i Headquarters
Email Text: I have discovered a passageway in the elevator shaft I am inside. I am going to go check on the route.
Fujimaru: I was right!
Fujimaru: There's no mistaking it! This is gonna work!!

14

Fujimaru: It would be impossible to let 220 people escape undetected in an elevator only a few people can fit in.
Fujimaru: But with the elevator stopped, the elevator shaft becomes a secret escape route from the observation area.
Fujimaru: And they can reach a work elevator that runs on a different power line after heading down only 40 meters.

Fujimaru: We tried to indirectly get Minami-san to realize this when she ran into Hibiki...

Fujimaru: but the terrorists got in the way.

15

J: So Third-i has lived up to your expectations.

J: Well...
J: Now the problem is how to guide those 220 people there.
Fujimaru: That's up to you.

J: You certainly make an escape from...
J: the world's tallest tower sound easy.

Michael: J!
J: What is it, Michael-kun?

Michael: The American dollar...
Michael: just dropped drastically!

16

J: So they've reacted just as the Storyteller wanted them to.

Fujimaru: What's going on!? The time limit's still a good ways off, isn't it?
Fujimaru: The Japanese government couldn't have sold all their dollars yet!
J: This was the obvious reaction.

J: Who would want to keep any American dollars when they MIGHT become worthless scraps of paper?

J: This is a matter of life or death for funds, wealthy people, or nations...
J: that hold a lot of them.
J: If it was you, wouldn't you sell yours off before you lost too much?

17

J: Whether the Japanese government gives in or not...
J: the Storyteller's economic terrorism will succeed.
J: That was why his proclamation was given to the entire world.

J: He knows quite well that people will move based on uncertainties about what MIGHT happen.
J: That's...
J: an unparalleled genius politician for you.

Michael: If Japan swallows the terrorists' demands...
Michael: the world might blame the terrorists and then they would have to take responsibility once this is all over.
J: Yes.
J: If the world flees from the dollar ON ITS OWN, they won't be as responsible.

Fujimaru: Damn them!

18

J: I still haven't figured out why exactly he wants to devalue the dollar...

J: but if we don't do something...
J: America will be destroyed from the beginning just as he has planned.

SFX: Grab

Fujimaru: I won't let...
Fujimaru: him do that!!

Eagle: Storyteller.
Eagle: This is Eagle.
Eagle: I have a report from Crow who is in charge of intelligence matters.
Eagle: The American dollar has begun to plummet as planned.

Kujou: I see.

Kujou: Then...
Kujou: do we know who the uncertain element is that destroyed the elevator?
Eagle: Unfortunately...
Eagle: the primary possibility is that it was another terrorist group with a different goal from our own.

Kujou: There is...
Kujou: one more thing that is bothering me.
Eagle: What would that be?

20

Kujou: Otoya...
Kujou: and Takagi Haruka.
Kujou: I have received no report of my grandson and the sister of that missing hacker, Falcon, having been found.

J: On one side was the Shooter of the Magic Bullet trying to send a rain of nukes on the world...
J: and on the other was a certain nation that gave no heed to the ban on creating cloned humans.
J: And there was one man secretly controlling both terrorist organizations so they would act according to the plot he wished for.
J: He was the Storyteller.

Text: A year before the Neo Tower incident...
J: If that man is not stopped, Bloody Monday will not end.
J: Everything is progressing according to the wishes of the Storyteller.
Text: All 11 volumes of Season 1 and all 8 volumes of Season 2 are on sale now!

02-03

J: The Storyteller is this country's Prime Minister,
J: Kujou Masamune.

Fujimaru: Wha-...?

J: I...
J: want the power needed to crush him.

J: Let me say it once more.
Credit: Ryuumon Ryou x Megumi Kouji
Title: File 9 A Fate Bound by Chains
J: Help me, Falcon.

J: That man does not care how many failures it takes before he achieves his goal.
J: He will never give up.

J: If the Storyteller is not eliminated, Bloody Monday will not end.

04

Box: Let's turn back in time a bit.
Box: I first realized this truth a year ago.
Someone: Ok. Everything looks in order.
Someone: What are you going to do now?
J: It would be too boring to just head back to Japan so soon.
J: I guess I'll go sightseeing with my companions.
Someone: It must be tough doing even what is essentially mercenary work.
Box: Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

J: Well.
J: I need to work to survive.

05

J: That's...!
J: Why...
J: are those two together!?

06

SFX: Click
Michael: You were right.
Michael: That was definitely one of this country's high ranking officials he was with.

Michael: It seems Kujou Masamune...

Michael: has some kind of...
Michael: connection with this country.

J: Bloody Monday...
SFX: Creeping up...
J: and the Storyteller!!

SFX: Bang bang bang

SFX: Stand up

08

J: Cain.
J: Read their lips.

Cain: Where is Pandora's Box?
Cain: One of the clones has it. She contacted me to say she is with Falcon.

Cain: Okay, you all gather up these bodies and leave.

Cain: I will handle the rest.

J: So he's finally making his move...

Man: This is our chance!

09

Man: If we...
Man: deal with him here, Pandora's Box will be in our country's hands!

J: Should I...
J: really eliminate him here?

SFX: Shock
SFX: Heartbeat

10

SFX: Heartbeat heartbeat heartbeat

SFX: Gnash

SFX: Bang bang

J: That would...
J: be meaningless.

J: We are now...
J: withdrawing from our role in the plan to acquire Pandora's Box...
J: for that country.

SFX: Clatter

J: This is...
J: a turning point.

12

Fujimaru: What...?
Fujimaru: You can't expect me to believe that.
Fujimaru: Old man Kujou can't be the one behind all the terrorist attacks!!

J: I'd say...
J: it's quite a believable story.

J: Is it...
J: because I'm a "murderer"?

J: Don't get so obsessed over that.
J: After all, you could just explain it away...
J: by saying that was a war,
J: right?

13

Fujimaru: Enough with the sophistry!
Fujimaru: What you did was nothing more than murder!!

J: Yes.
J: In the end, we BECAME nothing more than murderers.
J: But that's because...
J: we lost.

J: Well...
J: I have no intention to deny that I'm a murderer.
J: It's the truth.
J: But...

J: Can you...
J: say the same thing to Mizusawa Hibiki?
J: Can you call her a mere murderer?

14

Fujimaru: Hibiki...
Fujimaru: didn't become like that because she wanted to!!

Fujimaru: What do you know!? She did that in order to survive!!
J: It's the same.

J: It was the same for me...
J: and also for K who had her ambitions crushed by you and was killed by you.
J: For Anzai Mako.

J: If you are going to complain and say that the environments people were born into permit them to act in certain ways...
J: then you are the one...
J: who is saying nothing but sophistry.

15

J: People cannot choose where they are born and it is not equal.
J: That is a truth that cannot be changed as long as people are people.
J: There is no point in having regrets over that.
J: And running from it will change nothing.

J: Yes.
J: Just killing him...
J: would be meaningless.

J(thought): I will bring it all to light and eliminate all of it.
J: And yet there is a man who is using that false idea of equality...
J: to bring the world into his own grasp.
J(thought): This time, I will get rid of it all!!

16

J: And that is...
J: Kujou Masamune.

Fujimaru: If what you are saying is true...
Fujimaru: then I will help you.

Fujimaru: But...
Fujimaru: you have no proof.

Fujimaru: I...
Fujimaru: have no proof that I can...
Fujimaru: trust you.

17

J: True.
J: I have not given you any proof or basis on which to trust me.

J: I'm not the type to pay in advance...
J: but I'll give you...
J: a sign of my sincerity.

J: Take it.

18-19

Hibiki: Fujimaru!

20

Fujimaru: Hibi...ki?
Fujimaru: Is that...really you?

Fujiko: When you forget about your worries for a bit, you subconsciously gather your thoughts.
Shiho: said that.

Aoi: So we managed to help him out a bit?
Shiho: Exactly.
Kaoru: But he was still staggering when he walked.

Aoi: I used a teleport drip to get a saline solution and vitamins into his system.

Kaoru: When did you two...?
Aoi: We asked Doctor Sakaki about it.
Shiho: But he's gonna be the next one down.

Minamoto: Those things haven't happened yet..
Minamoto: so there is no point in worrying about them.

Minamoto: The Children from the future...
Minamoto: said not to search for the correct answer.

Minamoto: If I know what the future is, I have to be able to change it.
Minamoto: My conviction regarding that will not waver.

Minamoto: I believe in MY Children.
Minamoto: I believe in their ridiculous powers...
Minamoto: and their hearts!

Minamoto: The Children from the future...
Minamoto: are not the same as them.
Minamoto: They live in a similar world that exists as a possibility. They are different people who lived with a Minamoto very similar to myself.

Hyoubu: Then why are you so worried?

16

Hyoubu: If you believe you can change the future by doing your best...

Minamoto: I was attracted to "that Kaoru".

Kaoru: They say he's been missing since the opening ceremony.

Minamoto: I see...

Feather: If we are with him, the major might be able to defeat Black Phantom.
Feather: You won't see me for a while...
Feather: but wait for good news.

06

Shiho: Feather disappeared on that day, too.
Shiho: Do you know something, Minamoto-san?

SFX: Jump up
Minamoto: Ah.
Minamoto: No, I...

Minamoto: I can only say...
Minamoto: that I can't answer that.

Mio: You know something, don't you!?
Minamoto: I didn't say that!!
Minamoto: I just said I can't say whether I do or not!

07

Mio: Do you really think...
Mio: that kind of bureaucratic answer will stop us!?
Mio: Kazura!!

Kazura: Understood!
SFX: Vyuhh
Kazura: I'll bind him with my Psychometry!!

Minamoto: Mgh!!
SFX: Grab

Kaoru: Wait!
Aoi: Stop that!!

08

Kazura: Uuh...!?
Japanese text: If the zeta function is expanded over the entire field of complex numbers, the real part of any non-trivial zero s of ζ(s) exists on a straight line at 1/2.
SFX: Throb throb throb

Kazura: Ahhhhhhh!!
Kazura: It's too hard!! I can't understand any of it!!!
Text: Eeeeee!!
Kaoru: Wh-what?
Minamoto: I thought about the Riemann Hypothesis, an unsolved problem in mathematics dealing with the distribution of the zeros of the zeta function!
Text: Hoo...
Shiho: In other words, you can think about things that overload a middle school girl with stress?

Minamoto: The senior members of your group must know something, right?
Minamoto: Like Momiji-kun or...
Mio: They won't tell us anything.

Mio: But...
Mio: I can tell they're really worried.

10

Mio: The major is always like that!
Mio: He never tells anyone about the truly important things.
Mio: He thinks it's best if he focuses all the danger on himself.

Mio: And yet we're all so worried about him...
Mio: and we just wish he would stay with us.
Hyoubu: Don't worry.
Hyoubu: Whatever happens, Magi and the others can deal with things afterwards.

Mio: That's not what I mean!!
Hyoubu: Thanks, Mio.
Hyoubu: But...

11

Hyoubu: I am already dead.
Hyoubu: I am only here now because I have my regrets.
Hyoubu: Even if I never return, don't be too sad, okay?

Mio: Of course I'll be sad!!
Mio: How can he not know that!?
Mio: We aren't regrets!

Kaoru: Th-that's just...
Kaoru: Right!?
Minamoto: Eh? U-um...
Shiho: She passed it on to Minamoto-san?
Aoi: That's cruel.

12

Minamoto: I-if he would die so easily, we wouldn't have had so much trouble.
Minamoto: I'm sure...
Minamoto: he'll come back as if nothing happened.

Mio: Really!?
Kagari: Are you sure!?
Kazura: Can you guarantee it!?
Minamoto: U-umm...well...

13

Fujiko: It'll be fine!
SFX: Hyupah
Fujiko: And just worrying about him won't help anything, right!?
Fujiko: It's just a waste of time.

Fujiko: He's just going to do things his own way.
Fujiko: You all need to enjoy your own lives.

Fujiko: And he's already died once...
Fujiko: so he won't die again.
Text: Ho ho ho
Fujiko: You'd have to drive a stake through his heart or something.
Shiho: He's a vampire...?
Aoi: Doesn't that fit you better than him?

Fujiko: And I told them not to worry about it.

Fujiko: Okay!
Fujiko: I think we all need a nice change of pace!
Kaoru: Eh?
Kaoru: What'll we do?

Fujiko: Hmm.
Fujiko: How about we go flower viewing?
Girls: That would be nice...
Girls: but won't it be crowded?
Girls: I don't like all the drunk people everywhere.

Kazura: In that case...
Kazura: I know a good place.

Minamoto: Isn't there anywhere else we can-

Fujiko: Oh, hello, Sakaki-kun?
Fujiko: We're having a flower viewing, so...
Fujiko: Yeah, come on over.
Minamoto: ...Hey, wait!
Momiji: Are you coming, Yo? What about Magi-chan?

18

Margin: Can they support Minamoto!? Next Issue: The flower viewing begins!!

Fujiko: You three...!

Fujiko: Minamoto-kun is a bit...
Fujiko: troubled over work-related things.
Fujiko: Console him the best you can.

Aoi: I don't mind that, but...
Shiho: He won't tell us what it's all about.
Fujiko: Still...
Fujiko: sometimes he needs some support.

Fujiko: So help him out.

Text: Why did Fujimaru and J join forces...?
J: Mizusawa Hibiki...
J: is alive.

02

J: Mizusawa Hibiki is alive.
J: I want to discuss that as well as some other things with you.

J: As for the location...
J: I know. Let's go with the place we first met.

J: If you want to see Mizusawa Hibiki...
J: then make sure...
J: you come alone.

Fujimaru: Hibiki...
Fujimaru: Are you really okay!?

03

J: This restaurant...
J: really takes me back.

J: It's been 2 years now, hasn't it?

J: Long time no see.
J: You have now saved Japan for a second time,
J: hero.

04

Fujimaru: Where is Hibiki,
Fujimaru: J!?

J: No greeting?
J: How about you calm down a bit?
SFX: Clatter

J: First, I need you to listen to what I have to say.

Fujimaru: Sorry, but I don't have time to listen to any unnecessary crap.
Fujimaru: Just spit it out!!

05

Fujimaru: If you've come back after disappearing for 2 years...
Fujimaru: it can't be for anything good!

SFX: Place
J: True.

J: I know what you mean...
J: much more than I would like.

J: Ha ha!

J: Sorry, sorry.
J: I was just thinking about how an agent from birth...
Text: Heh heh
J: changed so much from your feelings.

SFX: Gnash

06

Fujimaru: Is Hibiki...
Fujimaru: really all right?

J: I already told you she is.
J: She injured her shoulder, but it doesn't seem to be anything too bad.

SFX: Realization

Fujimaru: You said she was an agent from birth...
Fujimaru: Do you know what...
Fujimaru: she is!?

J: What she is?
J: You mean that she is one of eight clones...
J: created by a certain country?

07

Fujimaru: I'll ask you again.
Fujimaru: The fake Hibiki said the person who was going to use Pandora's Box...
Fujimaru: was someone I know quite well.
Fujimaru: Is that you?

J: What if I said I had some reluctant dealings with that country?

J: It's true...
J: that we lived there during that time.
J: But the person she speaks of is not me.

J: But then...
J: the person who sent Mizusawa Hibiki to you...
J: WAS me.

08

Fujimaru: Quit beating around the bush.
SFX: Grab

Fujimaru: If you have no intention of telling me anything, just leave!!

J: This is only taking so long because you keep yelling at me.
SFX: Sigh

J: If you want me to leave, I will.
J: I just don't want my saving Mizusawa Hibiki to have been in vain.

SFX: Slap
J: Then she would have to be disposed of.

09

Fujimaru: What do you mean!?

J: That there will be no need...
J: to keep her alive.

Fujimaru: You bastard!!
SFX: Clatter

J: You don't need to get so worked up.
SFX: Smile
J: If you just listen to what I have to say...
J: there won't be any problems.

10-11

SFX: Sit

J: I'm glad you've finally calmed down enough to listen.

J: First...
J: I know.
J: Let's talk about the Shooter of the Magic Bullet's terrorist attacks.

J: It seems there are a lot of things you don't know.

J: Including the failed ones, there was the hijacking, the gas attack,
J: the hijacking of the power plant,
J: and the murder of the American president while he was in Japan.
J: Behind the string of terrorist attacks that transformed Japan into a seemingly insecure area...
J: were two different forces.
J: One was the Shooter of the Magic Bullet led by Hino Alexei.
J: The other...
J: was a certain nation that has no international standing but is well known for...
J: state sponsored terrorism.

12

J: These two forces were after Pandora's Box,
J: the activation key for America's nuclear weapons...
J: which have the power to destroy the world many times over...
J: and are the symbol of America's power.

J: The Shooter of the Magic Bullet planned to recreate the world by destroying the governments' control...
J: with a worldwide rain of nuclear missiles.

J: The terrorist nation...
J: wanted to take American's position...
J: and take the world for themselves.

13

J: The American president always carries Pandora's Box with him when in an area of danger level B or higher.
J: All of the Shooter of the Magic Bullet's initial attacks were to bring that level up.
J: The terrorist nation knew of the Shooter of the Magic Bullet's plan and plotted to secretly steal the Box.
J: That is why Mizusawa Hibiki...
J: was sent to you.

Fujimaru: Why was...
Fujimaru: Hibiki sent to me for that!?

J: If it became known that Pandora's Box was in danger within Japan...
J: Third-i would move.

J: And...
J: if Third-i was doing something...
J: they would of course...
J: rely on you, Falcon.

14

J: Information about Pandora's Box would inevitably gather with you.
J: And in the end...
J: Pandora's Box would be opened by you, a wizard class hacker.
J: That was the purpose behind it.

J: Her mission was to observe and protect you until the Box was obtained.
J: That way, we would have no problem getting a wizard class hacker to activate the Box...
J: without having to deal with the information warfare ourselves.

J: But...
J: that...

Fujimaru: That wasn't how it ended up!!
Fujimaru: Too bad for you!

15

Fujimaru: Hibiki...
Fujimaru: She said she would become Japanese!!

J: Y-yeah.
J: I suppose so.
J: But that has nothing to do with this.

J: Whatever she wanted...
J: she still carried out her mission well.

J: By winning your trust, she became your weak point, so we could switch her out with another clone...
J: and take Pandora's Box from you.
J: It was simple.

16

Fujimaru: Fuck!
SFX: Slam

SFX: Chatter...
Fujimaru: So it all went just as you wanted!!

Fujimaru: Then what was the point...
Fujimaru: in telling me that Hibiki was a fake at the very end there!?

17

J: From the beginning...
J: I had no intention of letting things go...
J: as that country wanted.

Fujimaru: What do you mean!?
Fujimaru: You made that plan, right!?

J: Well, yes.
J: But I guess you could say there was a demon king...
J: creating his own story behind the scenes.

J: And...
J: I have a request.

J: I need the help of a wizard to defeat this demon king.

18

Fujimaru: A request!?

Fujimaru: Hah!
Fujimaru: So you're just using Hibiki to get me to do something!
Fujimaru: First it was Haruka and now it's Hibiki!
Fujimaru: Your methods just don't change!

J: So that's how you see me.
J: I'm leaving the decision to you and I'm willing to bow down and beg if you want.
J: You're free to believe me or not.

Fujimaru: Yeah, right!!
Fujimaru: This is just a threat!

Fujimaru: Did you...
Fujimaru: forget...
Fujimaru: what you did two years ago!?

19

Fujimaru: You're a terrorist!

Fujimaru: You're a murderer!
Fujimaru: How can I believe you!?
SFX: Shock

SFX: Smile

J: Let's...
J: go for a walk.
SFX: Clatter
Fujimaru: Hey!!

J: Falcon.
J: Before you give me your answer...
J: let me tell you about this demon king.

J: Bloody Monday is not over.

Kirishima: The world's primary reserve currency, the American dollar, will become worthless.
Kirishima: Japan has over 1.1 trillion dollars.
Kirishima: And most of it is in bonds.

Kirishima: The government selling all of that coupled with other countries selling their own dollars defensively, the dollar will go from being worth 80 yen to only 10 yen...no, it will probably end up being less than a single yen.

Tsukamoto: Wha-!?

16

Kirishima: The value of goods and money in precious metals will rise explosively causing hyperinflation. America's economy will be utterly destroyed and almost all corporations will go bankrupt or otherwise cease functioning.
Kirishima: The unprecedented global panic will cause the people to riot bringing the world to a near-civil war state. After the storm passes, the world in which America stood at the top will have changed to some completely different state.

Nai: I am about to undergo surgery.
Nai: Hyoubu-san and the others say I will be fine...
Nai: but I may not return.

Nai: If that happens, please take care of Yuuri-sama.
Nai: And as for dealing with my body...
SFX: Shake shake

Nai: No, you cannot just assume it will not happen.
Nai: It is our job to be prepared for any possibility.

Nai: I made a gravestone out of a fish paste board.
Nai: Use my favorite canned cat food for flowers.

On board: Nai's Grave

Fujiko: Oh, what a crowd.
Sakaki: This cake is in celebration of a successful job.

Kazura: Then could you take this girl home?

03

Minamoto: That future will not change?
Minamoto: What do you mean!?

Minamoto: Is there no meaning in what we are doing!?
Minamoto: Are you saying we have no way of creating a happy future!?

04

SFX: Vyuhhhn!!
Feather: ...That's not it.
Feather: We were happy.

Feather: It was all thanks to you, Minamoto-han.
SFX: Smile

Minamoto: A-Aoi!?

05

Feather: I have enjoyed...
Feather: all the time since I met you at 10.
Feather: Thank you for everything you have done.
Feather: Well...

Feather: I guess it is currently what you are still doing.

Minamoto: Is this one of the personalities sleeping within Feather!?
Minamoto: I thought Kaoru was the primary one...
Minamoto: Feather...
Minamoto: You're an aggregation of espers, aren't you!?

Feather: Psychic powers are the power to overcome the laws of physics.
Feather: By expanding the Triple Boost, an existence was created that overcomes space-time.
Feather: That is Feather.

Feather: Our forms and wills...
SFX: Vyuhh
Feather: can be emulated based on our memories.

06

Feather: Wh-what are you doing, Aoi-chan!?
Feather: I-I don't have anything to talk to Minamoto-san about.
SFX: Vyuhn

Minamoto: Shiho...!?

SFX: Stretch
Feather: Your skin is more youthful than our Minamoto-san's...
Feather: but your hardheadedness is the same as ever!

Feather: What Feather meant...
Feather: is that it is pointless to search for the correct answer.
Feather: The future was created by all the people who live in this world.

07

Feather: Everyone tried to do the right thing...
Feather: and it ended up like that.
Feather: Even if you and Major Hyoubu try to overcome that...
Feather: you are still a portion of the world.

Feather: But we have come from outside the world...
Feather: so we may function as an outside element.

Feather: You just need to do the best you can, Minamoto-san.
Feather: We know that is what you did.
Minamoto: But!
Minamoto: There has to be something I can do to avoid that future!

Minamoto: Please tell me, Shiho!
Minamoto: What did I do wrong!?

Feather: Didn't we tell you not to search for the correct answer?
Feather: That's your answer.

08

Feather: You gave us a happy past.
Feather: But...
Feather: we will create the future now that we are adults.

Minamoto: You will...
Minamoto: now that you are adults?

SFX: Vyuhhn!!

09

Feather: Minamoto!!

10

Feather: It will be all right!
Feather: It will be all right!

Feather: I will protect...
Feather: both the future and you!

11

Minamoto: Hm?

12

SFX: Messy

Sakaki: Yo.
Fujiko: Welcome home.

13

Minamoto: What is with this mess!?
Sakaki: The kids ended up spending the night.
Sakaki: Except for Yuuri-chan who insisted on going home, so I dropped her off.
Fujiko: Middle school kids get really worked up over sex talk!
Minamoto: You shouldn't be discussing that kind of thing with middle schoolers!

Fujiko: Well?
Fujiko: How did things go?
SFX: Twitch

Fujiko: Feather...
Fujiko: is no longer with you.

Minamoto: She...
Minamoto: left.

Sakaki: She left?
Sakaki: Do you know her identity!?

14

Fujiko: Were we correct...
Fujiko: in our theory that she was created by the Children's Triple Boost in the future?
Fujiko: Was that Kaoru-chan?

Minamoto: Feather is an aggregation of multiple espers' wills and powers.
Minamoto: They accomplished this crazy phenomenon by maximizing the Triple Boost.
Minamoto: She can become Shiho or Aoi for short periods of time...
Minamoto: and it's possible other espers were involved, too.

Minamoto: But the one at the center...
Minamoto: is indeed Kaoru.

Fujiko: You can give me the full report later.
Fujiko: And of course...
Fujiko: you can't tell anyone.
Sakaki: I get it, I get it.

Sakaki: But I feel like you're hiding something from me.
Sakaki: For instance, there seemed to be...
Sakaki: some secret regarding the patient of today's operation.

15

Minamoto: Operation?
Fujiko: Nothing.
Fujiko: Nothing at all.

Fujiko: But what's with her?
Fujiko: If her memories have returned, she should have just relied on us.

Minamoto: She said anyone living in this time period would not be able to do it.
Minamoto: She seemed to be heading off to help with something Hyoubu is about to do.

Feather: If we are with him, the major might be able to defeat Black Phantom.
Feather: You won't see me for a while...
Feather: but wait for good news.

Feather: Oh...

Feather: This is from those girls.

16

Feather: The three of them inside me...
Feather: love you.

SFX: Zzz
SFX: Zzz

Aoi: I was happy.

17

Shiho: We will create the future now that we are adults.

Kaoru: I will protect...
Kaoru: both the future and you!

Minamoto: The future...hm?

18

SFX: Close
Box: And that is how...

Kaoru: ...Minamoto?

Text: The future draws nearer bit by bit.
