Setsuna: the Governor-General's... Setsuna: Mansion!!

Mio: The Governor-General's Mansion? SFX: Rumble rumble Setsuna: Yes. Setsuna: It was the hidden villa of Governor-General Kanematsu of the old army.
Setsuna: During the war, it was used as a a secret vault to protect the military's vast assets SFX: Rumble rumble Setsuna: You could say it's a giant treasure vault.
Setsuna: It escaped notice of the occupation army after the war, so it remains a mysterious untouched mansion. SFX: Wind...
Setsuna: I have a bad feeling about this... Setsuna: but we have no choice.
Setsuna: Honestly. Setsuna: If only she hadn't fled here.
SFX: Whoosh Box: 30 minutes ago

Mio: Goldilocks? Setsuna: Yes. Setsuna: That's the name of an extremely top rate security company from before the war.
Setsuna: The intruder prevention systems developed by the Goldilocks Company were extraordinarily excellent... SFX: Rumble rumble Setsuna: so I hear they were always used for the country's most important facilities.
Setsuna: That means this mansion is protected by... Setsuna: a Goldilocks defense system just like that impregnable Iron Mountain.
Mio: No way... Setsuna: We have no choice. Kuchinashi, leave your gauntlet here. Kuchinashi: Fine.
Kuchinashi: Bye bye, Red Hot Iron Roll. Setsuna: You gave it a name?

Text: Contents: Steel, etc. Mio: Bye bye, Bunny-chan. Setsuna: I still don't see how it's a rabbit.

SFX: Rumble rumble rumble
Setsuna: What should we do? Setsuna: I can get through with my Speed. Mio: We can't, though. Kuchinashi: I could blow it away if I had my Red Hot Iron Roll.
Setsuna: There are about 12 gas ejection points.
SFX: Slide
13
SFX: Pull off
Mio: Setsuna! What are you doing? Setsuna: I can stop the gas by jamming these buttons in the ejection points. Mio: You can do that?
Setsuna: These are custom made buttons for special missions! SFX: Whirr Setsuna: They're made to cause a gun to explode if you stick them in the barrel.
Setsuna: But... Setsuna: I can't block all of them.
Setsuna: I'll go on ahead with my Speed and block the ejection points... Setsuna: so you run as fast as you can on my signal! Got it?

Setsuna: It's dark... Setsuna: but there are red lights! Mio: Oh, you're right.
SFX: Rumble rumble Setsuna: Those are light sensors!
20
Setsuna: They purposefully made the passageway dark so any intruders would use the lights. Intruder: It's dark. SFX: Switch SFX: Bright SFX: Beep SFX: Stab Box: Imagined Scene Setsuna: Then the traps activate in response to the light.
Mio: Then what do we do? Setsuna: Let's see...
Setsuna: If we cover them with large black cloths that will block out the light... Setsuna: the sensors shouldn't detect the light.
Setsuna: But where are we going to get that? Mio: Right there.
Setsuna: Eh?
21
SFX: Cover Box: Setsuna and Kuchinashi's skirts.
SFX: Cry Kuchinashi: That was my favorite one... SFX: Pat pat Setsuna: We had no choice. Setsuna: Our mission is more important than our clothes. We can't fail again.

Top: Thanks for the 10 years!
04
SFX: Rooooar Saten: You will spend hundreds of millions of years in your own brain. Saten: Before you can complete these last two steps, your nerves will be torn to shreds and your brain's lifespan will run out!! Saten: You can never reach me!!
Blade: You're so pathetic it's almost refreshing!! Blade: Is this the only way you could attack me!?
Saten: Didn't I tell you? My power is Dark Matter. It is foreign to this earth. Saten: If I use this power to twist time and space, neither me nor this dimension will escape unscathed!! Saten: You have forced me to use this!! Well done, Blade!
05-06
Saten: Take this! Sixth Wave!!!
SFX: Whoosh whoosh
Saten: This ability is the same as "heaven"!! Saten: When humans die, they create a world that feels as if it lasts for all eternity. Saten: And in the few seconds it takes for their sense of self to be destroyed, they live forever in that world that has destroyed the concept of time. Saten: Your life flashing before your eyes is a precursor to that!! Saten: Can you see it, Blade!? Saten: This Sixth Wave is a power of an alternate dimension that forcibly sends you to heaven!! And it is impossible to escape!!
07
SFX: Throb throb Blade: The gate has already closed!! Blade: You can only remain almighty for another ten or so seconds!!
Saten: That is enough. It will only take 2 seconds in the real world for your brain to die of old age. Saten: After that, I can regenerate... Saten: and kill your comrades before even 10 seconds have passed!
Saten: Do not worry. SFX: Rumble rumble rumble Saten: I will heal Eve.
Saten: It's gone!?
08
Saten: Blade had Eve's head, but it's gone!! SFX: Rumble rumble rumble Saten: What did you do with it!?
Saten: You were holding her head just a moment ago!!
Blade: "I failed to mention it..." Blade: "But my body was at its limit." Blade: "The boundary between our minds could not be maintained."
09
SFX: Burst
Saten: She's inside Blade!? Saten: Why is she in here!?
Eve: This may be a rejection to having a brain and abilities transplanted into me. Eve: I can no longer maintain this form for long. Eve: So I will return this now.
10
Blade: But if you return that to me... Blade: your body will-...
Eve: Yes. Eve: That is why I will rest within you, Blade. Eve: And this is the only way to escape this place
Blade: Stop! Blade: Eve!!
Eve: Farewell.
11
Researchers: He is... Researchers: the next specimen, Onda Shizuma-kun.
Researchers: What an odd name. Researchers: His foster parents gave it to him. Researchers: It seems he did not say a word when they took him in.
Karin: That scar on your neck... Karin: looks like it hurts.
Onda: It's fine. I'm used to it now and it doesn't hurt.
Researchers: It is time to enter the freezing device. Researchers: Karin, you first.
12
Onda: This is goodbye, Onda: Karin.
Karin: I will make sure to become Eve. Karin: So you become Adam, Shizuma-kun. Karin: Then we can meet again.
Onda: But this device will freeze our memories. Onda: We will not remember each other then.
Eve: Don't worry. I won't forget. Eve: I won't forget no matter what... Eve: so I'll come see you again after the surgery.
Onda: Understood. Onda: I will be waiting. Onda: And I will do my best not to forget you, Karin.
Karin: Really?
13
Karin: Then let's see the real sky together. Onda: Sure. Karin: And eat apples together. Onda: Sure.
Onda: I promise. Even if you forget me, I will make sure you remember. Onda: When I tell you everything that happened, you're sure to remember.
Karin: Then we can be friends like we are now, right? Onda: Yes.
Researchers: Specimen Eve-N candidate Karin will now be frozen. Researchers: Please stand back.
Karin: See you again, Karin: Shizuma-kun.
SFX: Creak
SFX: Shut
14
Researchers: Begin freezing. SFX: Whiiiiiir
Eve: I don't want to forget you!! Eve: Shizuma-kun!!
Eve: I want to remember at least your face...or your name. Eve: I will always call it out so I won't forget.
Eve: Onda Shizuma... Eve: Onda Shizuma... Eve(thought): I...won't forget. Eve: Onda Shizuma... Eve: Onda Shizuma... Eve: Onda...shizu... Eve: On...da...

Eve: I am a mirror! Eve: A mirror of truth that perfectly reflects your ugly form!!
Blade: I am a mirror!! Blade: A mirror of retribution that returns your malice right back at you!!

Cruz: And I need to find... Cruz: a way to go back to being a guy.
All: Not a chance!!! Text: Shaaa! Cruz: Ehhh?
28
Text: In the end...
Text: Nothing about the world changed. Text: The City remained a cold place, the walls are still there, Text: and the Black Spot is still a world of survival of the fittest.
Text: Father could have changed or erased this world. Text: He could have altered the very rules of the world. Text: But he didn't.
Text: That is very like father. Text: I doubt he will ever change.

Announcer: A new fashion is spreading through the City. SFX: Ksshh ksshh ksshh Announcer: Some claim it is inappropriate... Announcer: but it cannot be controlled as it has been a traditional uniform of Japanese woman for over 3000 years just like "naked with gloves".

Blade: Okay ,then. Blade: If you're the real one... SFX: Rumble rumble Blade: when did you switch out!?
Saten: Oh, Blade. How nostalgic. Saten: Do you remember when I obtained the holy remains? That was me.
Saten: But I grew quite busy after learning of the angels' existence. Saten: So I left all the troublesome work to a clone.
Saten: I chose a few of my memories to implant into the clone. Saten: Thanks to that, he was able to find Riru and you. Saten: But it was only recently that I was sure you were the brother from back then.

Eve: You mean... SFX: Shock Eve: you were the one that dissolved me!?
15
Blade: Damn you!! Blade: How rotten can you be!!?
SFX: Repeated impacts
Gido: But... Gido: I have one final hope!!
Blade: A hope!?
16
Gido: Everyone assumed a meeting with the unknown would come from the sky, but first contact had already occurred deep underground below the blast site. Gido: I will never forget what I saw there.
Gido: Its form was completely different from that of a human!! Gido: And yet it was much too similar to a human for a being from a completely different universe!!
Gido: I could not help but dig up an old ridiculous theory of mine. Gido: The theory that the truth of the universe could not be solved via humanity.
Gido: Why was the decimal number system created? Gido: Was it because humans had 10 fingers? Gido: But a day has 24 hours and a year has 12 months. Gido: Was it possible the secrets of the universe could only be solved with a base 12 system!?
17
Gido: Had the development of human science stagnated because it used base 10!? Gido: And it all came together when I saw their fingers!!
Gido: Over 300 million years ago, some creatures on the earth had 7 or 8 fingers on a hand. Gido: But the process of evolution left most with no more than 5.
Gido: What a shame!! Gido: Our civilization was left immature due to a failure of evolution!!
18
Disk: You don't mean... Disk: you plan to go to the other side to save her!?
Cruz: Ehh!?
Gido: Yes. Gido: Their level of civilization should have a means... Gido: to separate Kasumi from Eve and bring her back to life!!
Gido: They have to have the ability to let both Eve and Kasumi live!!
Teruyama: That's crazy!! Teruyama: You're planning to kill most of humanity for that!?
Gido: Of course. Gido: Since the day Kasumi died... Gido: I created clones of the Second Christ, I created Arclight, and I created his clone. It was all to bring Kasumi back to life. Gido: I have preserved this gate while watching over Eve!!
19
Teruyama: You're insane!
Gido: And I have sealed... Gido: my powers as an Adam for this day.
Saten: Due to a different number of chromosomes, an Adam's life is shorter than that of a human. Saten: Doctor Gido had little time left since he joined the Adam Series past the prime of his life. Saten: And so he sealed away his memories and power. Saten: And he left me the key to bringing back his powers.
Blade: Hah!! I know what Gido wants! Blade: But what are you after!?
Saten: The same as my duplicate. Saten: The idea of creating a world of only Needlesses with an Eden's Seed bomb was my idea.
20
Saten: We clones of the Second Christ are similar yet different to the original. Saten: The power of the angels was weakened, so we were left empty. SFX: Rumble rumble Saten: We started at Zero.
Saten: We were born as a case for 1000 different colors of colored pencil... Saten: yet we only had 2 colors inside. Saten: We were born defective.
Saten: But if the gate is opened and we devour an angel from the other side, our case will be filled. Saten: We will likely gain power equal or greater to the Second Christ.
Saten: That power has yet to be named, but I would call it... Saten: the Almighty!!
Cruz: The Almighty!
21
Saten: Yes. We would gain any and all power just like the Second Christ! Saten: We would have the power of a god from a legend. Saten: We could accomplish anything we imagined. Saten: We would have enough power to rewrite the entire earth if we wished.
Saten: But you... Saten: were trying to close the gate!!!
Arclight: Gh!!
22
Disk: But the other side has a civilization well beyond earth's and is crawling with creatures with power equal or greater to the Second Christ, right!? Disk: This galaxy would be blown away if we made enemies of them!! Disk: It makes sense to close the gate and prevent them from getting in!!
Gido: It makes sense to close the gate? SFX: Rumble rumble Gido: Such fools!!
Saten: An unknown civilization and unknown life forms exist beyond the gate. Don't you want to see them? Saten: Don't you want to learn of your own roots?
Saten: And...don't you want to obtain all of their power?
Disk: You're insane!!
23
Arclight: Gwoooohhhh!! SFX: Burst
Cruz: Ahh!! Disk: Arclight's body!!
Gido: The collapse has begun.
24
Arclight: Why!? SFX: Wheeze wheeze Arclight: Why is my body crumbling!?
Arclight: I absorbed a god! I should have become almighty!! Arclight: Why!?
Saten: Heh heh heh... SFX; Rumble rumble Saten: This isn't surprising. You have a mismatched body like one forcing together pieces of different dolls.
Arclight: What!?
25
Saten: You thought there was meaning in the locations the Stigmata appeared in. Saten: You thought bringing them together would make you a god. Saten: But you were mistaken.
Saten: You only obtain the power once the 12 Stigmata reside in the proper locations. SFX: Rumble rumble
Saten: The Bible tells which powers go in which locations. Saten: You would know that if you had properly decoded the chip.
Arclight: You did something to the chip!?
Saten: I had Primaria... Saten: delete a few lines. SFX: Rumble rumble

Gido: What do you mean!?
Kasumi: Karin is... Kasumi: my little sister.
Kasumi: She was born with a disease that meant she would not live past 10. Kasumi: So she was sent to the Eve Project to extend her life even if only by a little. Kasumi: I was never able to meet her or tell her, but I was happy simply working on the Eve Project with my sister.

Gido: Hey!! Hurry up and open this protective wall!! Gido: Kasumi will be...!!
Man: That area is filled with dark matter. Man: And she is being held in place by the one from the other side. Man: If we save her, the angel will come to this side.

Kasumi: Is that true? Kasumi: Just hearing you say that...is enough for me... Gido: So please don't die!!
Kasumi: I have already been exposed to a lethal dose of Eden's Seed... Kasumi: But you can...still save Eve. Kasumi: So please...join me with Karin...

Arclight: We used our clone technology to create... Arclight: those Eden's Seed owners.
Teruyama: Wh-what do you mean!?
Arclight: The clone soldiers created by the old Simeon were created using pluripotent cells such as Organic ES cells and iPS cells! In other words, they are "living organs" that can be transplanted into people of any race and blood type without causing rejection! They were the ultimate donors. Arclight: After the war, Simeon sold them to areas all across the world! They were sold over the black market, but they were Simeon's top seller. It was known as the drug of eternal life!!
06
Arclight: Yes. Arclight: Those canned clones have been exported all across the world!
Arclight: In developing nations and conflicted regions, they are used as soldiers with no human rights. Arclight: In developed nations, the wealthy use them as perfect and ideal children. Arclight: Those who lose a portion of their body due to injury or illness can use them for spares or as donors. Arclight: For a portion of those with unusual tastes, they are used as slaves for horrific purposes!
Arclight: And we at Simeon Pharmaceuticals have given every single one of those clones... Arclight: an inoculation of a certain seed.
07
Arclight: A single command from me... SFX: Boom Arclight: turns them into a tool that spreads the Eden's Seed for kilometers around them.
Eve: What!?
Blade: So they're human bombs!?
Teruyama: The Eden's Seed is a powerful poisonous virus to normal humans, isn't it!?
08
Disk: If you do that... Disk: humanity will go extinct!!
Arclight: Precisely. Arclight: But... Arclight: will it really be complete extinction?
Disk: The only survivors will be Needlesses and... Disk: Wait, is that what you're after!?
Arclight: According to our calculations, 0.0000008% of the world's population... SFX: Rumble rumble rumble Arclight: will overcome the Eden's Seed and evolve.
09
Disk: A world of only... Disk: Needlesses!?
Arclight: Only around 600 Needlesses will remain on the planet. Arclight: You could say they are occupants of Noah's Ark.
Arclight: That is.... Arclight: Triple Six!!
10
SFX: Roar
SFX: Boom
Eve: What!? Teruyama: That light!!
11
Riru: I was created as a Psychotronic Generator. Riru: I am the mother of the new world that creates imaginary elements and produces the source of Needlesses' souls!!
SFX: Roar Cruz: Wahh!
SFX: Crash
Teruyama: Are you going to transmit... Teruyama: Arclight's command like a radio tower!?
12
Cruz: We can't let you... Cruz: carry out that massive slaughter!!!
Arclight: I have seen the true heavenly host. Arclight: They are the gods that have passed through the sealed hole. SFX: Impacts Arclight: At this rate, humanity will be utterly destroyed.
Eve: Utterly destroyed!? Eve: What, are the angels coming to retrieve their friends!? Eve: I thought the gate connected to a distant part of the universe! Eve: They aren't coming!!
Arclight: Who ever said... Arclight: the gate had been closed?
SFX: Shock Eve: Eh!?
13
Arclight: When control of the dimensional weapon was lost, it produced unimaginable energy. Arclight: It is impossible to close the gate at our current level of science!!
Arclight: So we buried the gate deep underground... Arclight: and covered it with many layers of protective walls to prevent any "uninvited guests". SFX: Thoom
Arclight: Twice in the last 50 years, major interference has come from the other side. Arclight: The protective walls have been destroyed one after another and toxins are even continually leaking from deep underground!!
14
Cruz: So that's it!! Cruz: That's the contamination that hasn't disappeared even after 100 years!! Cruz: That's the toxin that created Needlesses, the Eden's Seed!!
Arclight: They are trying to "optimize" the environment on earth. Arclight: It is impossible to stop any further invasion. SFX: Impacts Arclight: And...the only ones who can fight them are those who can feed off of the Eden's Seed and have the same power as them.
Disk: This can't be!!
Arclight: Humans... Arclight: must evolve to be stronger or they will not survive!!
Arclight: A fetus's fingers are formed by first spreading out like a fin and then having a portion die off. Arclight: The process is known as necrosis and those cells must die to produce the proper body.
15
SFX: Wham wham
SFX: Crash
Eve: It's no good. Eve: We can't get a single attack in!
Arclight: Do you hear it? Arclight: That is the sound of your lives coming to an end.

Disk: Arclight's various Fragments are automatically being sent out from his Stigmata to counteract and neutralize all of our attacks!! Disk: It's like armor no attack can pierce!!
Cruz: He's using all of his powers automatically? Cruz: Is that even possible!?
Arclight: What's wrong? Arclight: Are you out of new techniques? Arclight: Then I will be removing your head.

12
SFX: Whoosh
SFX: Crumble crumble Eve: Gh...
Arclight: You have the right to choose. Arclight: In your final moments, I will teach you the truth... Arclight: behind this power that surrounds us all!!
Arclight: I am sure you know the Blackspot is ground zero of a blast from WW3. Arclight: But do you know what was at the center of the crater where a Simeon branch is now located?
13
Arclight: That spot was once the location of the National Space Development Research Center. Arclight: But it dealt with space in name only. In truth, a powerful dimensional weapon related to nuclear technology was being developed!!
Disk: A dimensional weapon!!?
Disk: It can't be!! I thought that was an urban legend!!! Teruyama: What is this dimensional weapon!?
Disk: It dealt with warping space-time. Disk: The technology was originally developed to allow instantaneous travel to distant places using wormholes... Disk: but they tried to use it as a weapon.
Disk: It could throw an enemy into a different dimension so they completely disappeared!! Disk: No, not just that. It could annihilate entire countries!! If it was completed, it could have turned around the war in an instant!!
14
Arclight: But just before it was completed, the device was sent out of control by an enemy spy. Arclight: And the Allies bombed it on top of that.
Arclight: They used the device against us... Arclight: in an attempt to annihilate this country.
Arclight: And as intended, that bombing... Arclight: miraculously opened the world's first gate to another dimension.
Cruz: No way!!
Arclight: The site of the bombing connected to an area of space far removed from earth. Arclight: Tokyo and its 10 million residents were swallowed up by the gate. Arclight: And in return, an unknown matter known as dark matter flowed to our side.
15
Cruz: Dark matter!? Cruz: You mean...
Arclight: That is the poisonous virus that remade humans into Needlesses. SFX: Rumble rumble Arclight: That was the Eden's Seed.
Disk: The Eden's Seed wasn't a biological weapon or the side effect of radiation... Disk: It was matter from a different universe!?
Arclight: Yes. The matter we know such as oxygen and nitrogen makes up only 4% of the universe. SFX: Rumble rumble Arclight: The remaining 96% is unknown matter that does not exist in our galaxy.
Arclight: And... SFX: Rumble rumble Arclight: it was not simply particles that came through.
Cruz: You can't mean... SFX: Rumble rumble
16
Arclight: When the gate opened... SFX: Rumble rumble Arclight: two life forms came through to our side.
Disk: You can't be serious!
Arclight: No one knows if they came through of their own free will or if they were accidentally sucked into the gate... Arclight: but those life forms possessed power well beyond that of humans. Yes...they were like what we know as gods! Arclight: And that is why they were called angels.
17
Arclight: The toxin that creates Needlesses was not named Eden's Seed as a metaphor or an exaggeration!! Arclight: They are literally objects given to us from the world of angels. Arclight: Needless power truly is the power of god!!
Arclight: But the angels used up all of their power when they passed through the gate. Arclight: One began hibernating deep underground to regain its power.
Arclight: The other also could not conform to earth's environment and wished to escape the continuing wars... Arclight: so it chose to fuse with a human.
Disk: You mean...the Second Christ!?
Arclight: Precisely. Arclight: That angel used its miraculous powers to save many people. Arclight: But that human body backfired and it was killed along with its host.
Arclight: I retrieved his holy corpse, but was unable to acquire power equal to theirs due to his human form. Arclight(flashback): god...
18
Arclight: And after the war, we and the committee built a Simeon branch in the Blackspot... Arclight: so that we could excavate the one that was hibernating deep underground!!
Cruz: So that's it!!! Cruz: That's why you built that in the center of the Blackspot!!
Eve: Then... Eve: that cocoon is...!!!
SFX: Rip rip rip rip Arclight: Indeed!

SFX: Rumble rumble Arclight: This is our mother, Adam.

Blade: Seriously!?

Teruyama: What is he talking about!? Blade: Dumbass!! Did you forget!? Blade: What is the greatest power of the Adam Series!?
Blade: You've seen it before!! Blade: The power to absorb the abilities of any living being he takes in!!
Cruz: Ahh!
Teruyama: Shit!! He's going to absorb that angel!! Disk: No, he already is!!
Disk: Look at his back!!!

Eve: He's absorbing our powers too!!

Arclight: What's the matter!? SFX: Crack crack

Kiba: It seems certain that there is something more to this. Shinkurou: Kiba-san, what do you think that could be?
Kiba: I am not sure. Kiba: But knowing her... Kiba: it was likely something simple.
Shinkurou: Something... Shinkurou: simple?
Shinkurou: Kiba-san is one of the few people to survive a serious fight with Benika-san. Shinkurou: That was when he lost his eye.
Shinkurou: People cannot choose where they live or where they die... Shinkurou: but they can choose where they might die. Shinkurou: That seems to be the case.

Zena: I'll call you when I want to continue!
Shinkurou: I cannot avoid a rematch with her. Shinkurou: But I will do... Shinkurou: everything I can before then.
Box: Christmas Eve
Lucy: So... Lucy: you asked to speak with me?
23
Lucy: You really are shameless. Lucy: Telling you Hoshigami-san's location was more than I should have told you in the first place. Lucy: Also, I am impressed you managed to survive a conflict with her. Lucy: You are as lucky as ever.
Lucy: Kurenai-san, let me warn you ahead of time so you are not mistaken. Lucy: I do not have the slightest intention of becoming friends with you. SFX: Chatter chatter Lucy: Having you call me out here is quite a bother. Lucy: I do not enjoy it at all.
Shinkurou: Um... SFX: Sip... Shinkurou: Then why did you come?
SFX: Place
Lucy: Because I'm obsessed. Lucy: I'm obsessed with anything having to do with the 13 inner families.
24
SFX: Chatter chatter Lucy: In my spare time, I investigate the traces of the extinct families, Lucy: I find the descendants of the ones that have gone out of business, Lucy: and I look through the old records. Lucy: It's quite interesting. Shinkurou: I shouldn't have asked.
Lucy: For example, do you know... Lucy: how many students <Houzuki> has had in the past 100 years? Shinkurou: No...
Lucy: Three. Lucy: Only three and that's counting you! Lucy: You are quite a valuable existence... Lucy: so I suppose I want to preserve any connection I have with you.
Lucy: Anyway, I think I know why you are here.
Lucy: You have thought deeply about your past actions and wish to apologize. Lucy: You have had a change of heart and wish to work for the Akuu Company. Lucy: And so you want me to straighten things out with Hoshigami-san.
Shinkurou: No. Shinkurou: That's not it at all.
25
Shinkurou: I want any information you have... Shinkurou: on the <Solitary Fortress> and <Hoshigami>.
Lucy: Kurenai-san... Lucy: Do you take me for a fool? Shinkurou: No, not at all.
Lucy: Why do you think I would give you information on Hoshigami-san? Lucy: More importantly... Lucy: do you still think you can defeat her?
Lucy: As Kirihiko-kun has said before... Lucy: you are a very unusual person, Kurenai-san. Lucy: You seem like a complete fool that does not know how the world works. Lucy: I just don't understand you. Shinkurou: You sure have a low opinion of me...
SFX: Hee hee
26
Lucy: But... Lucy: fine.
Shinkurou: Eh?
Lucy: I have no obligation to save you... Lucy: but I like how shamelessly you will even make use of an enemy if you need to. SFX: Rummage Lucy: I'll help you out a bit.
Lucy: Think of it as... Lucy: a small Christmas present.

Shinkurou: Although I've never given flowers to anyone but you.
Yuuno: You've never given them... Yuuno: to Murakami-san or Murasaki-chan? Shinkurou: No, only you. Shinkurou: Ginko doesn't really like flowers and Murasaki is still a kid.
Yuuno: Only me...

Yuuno: Only me only me only me only me only me only me
SFX: Sigh
Yuuno: I need to write this in my happiness diary... Shinkurou: Oh, and I have a picture book for Chi-chan.
Shinkurou: Bye, Yuuno-san. Shinkurou: I have to give everyone else their presents too. Yuuno: Okay. Yuuno: I'll give you my present when you get back.
31
Shinkurou: That's Tamaki-san and Yamie-san done. Shinkurou: That just leaves Kirihiko-chan and...
Shinkurou: For Murasaki... Shinkurou: maybe I should attach a Christmas card from Santa.
Shinkurou: Going around like this... Shinkurou: giving out presents the day before... Shinkurou: a life or death fight might be another kind of escape.

Chapter 48 [Note: I translated from the volume and the chapter numbers in the volumes are one behind the ones in the magazine, so this is Chapter 48 even though the last one was too.]

Shinkurou: B- Shinkurou: Benika-san...
SFX: Rinnnng
Phone: Caller - Murakami Ginko SFX: Rinnnng
SFX: Beep Shinkurou: ...Hello?
Ginko: Shinkurou? It's me. Ginko: I wanted to tell you before, but I lost my chance in the confusion. Ginko: I'll tell you now.
02
Ginko: Juuzawa Benika... Ginko: is being targeted.
Ginko: She will likely enter into a battle... Ginko: in the very near future.
Shinkurou: Wh- Shinkurou: Who would do that?
Ginko: The top adviser of the Akuu Company... Ginko: known as... Ginko: the <Solitary Fortress>.

Title: Chapter 48 Solitary Fortress
04
Box: Do you remember... Box: the incident with <Red Cap>?
Box: It seems Juuzawa Benika had a skirmish with the <Solitary Fortress> then. Box: That seems to have left a grudge.
Shinkurou: Ridiculous!! Shinkurou: This is Benika-san we're talking about!! Shinkurou: That arrogant and defiant woman!!
05
Shinkurou: There's no way she could have been defeated!! SFX: Open
Tamaki: Ah! Tamaki: Welcome home, Shinkurou-kun!
Shinkurou: What are you doing in my room? Tamaki: Eh? Tamaki: What are you having for dinner tonight?
Shinkurou: I already ate.
06
Tamaki: Did you hear that, Yamie-san? Tamaki: That boy who is too kind to even kill a bug has eaten something delicious on his own. Yamie: No, I trust the boy. Tamaki(small): Ah. Tamaki: You're right. We have to trust him here. Tamaki: We're nothing more than poor little hungry bugs.
Shinkurou: Would an eggplant miso stir fry do?
SFX: Sizzle sizzle
Tamaki: Wow, that smells good! Tamaki: It has garlic and ginger! Oh, and pork! Tamaki: And red chili peppers too I think! Shinkurou: She's right on all counts...
SFX: Steam
07
Shinkurou: Benika-san...
Yamie: You always seem to be worrying about something, boy.
SFX: Heartbeat
Yamie: But... Yamie: Having plenty of worries is a good thing.
Shinkurou: It's a good thing?
Yamie: Boy. Yamie: Remember this.
08
Yamie: It is only... Yamie: when people have large, heavy, and painful worries... Yamie: that they truly face themselves. Yamie: That is when they first take an active position in their own lives.
Yamie: That is just how it is.
Yamie: Happiness teaches you nothing, boy. Yamie: Learn from your difficulties.
09
Shinkurou: My difficulties, hm?
Shinkurou: In the year after I left the Houzuki household... Shinkurou: I had plenty of experiences. Shinkurou: I met lots of people... Shinkurou: and had to say goodbye to a few.
Shinkurou: My life was constantly filled with worries... Shinkurou: but... Shinkurou: I get the feeling that led me to think about many things.
SFX: Click
Shinkurou: And this... Shinkurou: must be the same. Tamaki: Shinkurou-kun's eggplant. Tamaki: I want Shinkurou-kun's eggplant! Shinkurou: It's ready.

Lucy: Oh, Kurenai-san.
11
Lucy: I do not often get a call from you! Lucy: Have you finally decided to join the comp-
Lucy: I see. Lucy: The <Solitary Fortress>, you say?
Lucy: Yes, she is our top adviser, but... Lucy: No, no! Of course not.
Lucy: ...Understood. SFX: Glance Lucy: If you insist, I will at least discuss it...
12
Shinkurou: ...Thank you. Shinkurou: Goodbye.
SFX: Beep
Lucy: Don't look at me like that, Kirihiko-kun. Lucy: I was just answering his questions.
Kirihiko: What are you doing, Lucy?
Lucy: I still want him for the company if possible. Lucy: It will help if he feels indebted to me.
13
SFX: Stand
Lucy: Sit down, Kirihiko-kun!!
Lucy: Our business meeting is not over. Lucy: And...
Lucy: I am the one that... Lucy: got Hoshigami-san to overlook your actions in Kyoto.
Lucy: There would have been nothing you could do against her.
Lucy: She is invincible after all.
14
Shinkurou: This building... Shinkurou: is the head of the Akuu Company.
Shinkurou: What kind of person... Shinkurou: is the <Solitary Fortress>?
15
Zena: Hi there!! SFX: Grab Shinkurou: Wah!!?
Zena: I'm not letting you go tonight!! Shinkurou: Eh!? Shinkurou: Eh!?
Zena: Ahhh!! Hey, it's you!! Zena: So you're here to celebrate too!! Shinkurou: Hah?
Shinkurou: Celebrate?
Zena: Never mind. Zena: We can discuss it inside! Shinkurou: Eh!? Shinkurou: No, wait!
Zena: So... Zena: For now...
17
Zena: Cheers!!
SFX: Gulp gulp
Zena: Phahhh!!
Zena: C'mon, you drink too!! Shinkurou: N-no, I'm in high school... Shinkurou: I'm fine with oolong tea.
Shinkurou: Um... Shinkurou: So what happened?
Zena: I had... Zena: a major victory in a fight! Shinkurou: A fight?
18
Zena: Just when I had my escape cut off, I went in fists flying!! Zena: I got a good one in on that face that always looks so damn calm!!
Zena: And I made sure to get a good one in on that eyesore of a car, too! Zena: After that, I activated the things I had set up before hand and it all went boom!!
Shinkurou: Ha ha... Shinkurou: You're a strange person, Hoshigami-san...
Zena: This may just be me talking here... Zena: but I'm invincible!
Text: ...Wakuraba, Ajou, Hoshigami.
Shinkurou: Hoshigami... Shinkurou: By any chance, are you from the 13 Inner Families?
Zena: Allow me to introduce myself again, Zena: Kurenai Shinkurou-kun.
20
Zena: I am the <Solitary Fortress>, Zena: Hoshigami Zena.
21
Zena: I am the top advisor of the Akuu Company. Zena: I may only be 17, but I'm an employee rather than a student. Zena: Most of my work is deskwork, but I do get some manual labor, too. Zena: My favorite food is natto. Zena: I'm currently looking for a boyfriend.
Shinkurou: Y- Shinkurou: You're the one that...?
Zena: Yes. Zena: I killed her.
Zena: By the way...
22
Zena: I'd like for you to take a look at this. SFX: Jangle Zena: What do you think?
Shinkurou: Wh- Shinkurou: What do you mean?
Zena: Just sit there... Zena: and look. Zena: This was my victory prize.
Zena: I got it from Juuzawa Benika.
Zena: Just as I would expect of her, it shows ridiculous style and technology. Zena: It's special made. Zena: At first, I thought it was nothing more than a memento...
23
Zena: but one thing... Zena: stuck out to me. SFX: Jangle...
Zena: The back has the initials JJ.
Zena: I could ignore the men's design. Zena: But this inscription makes no sense. Zena: If it was Juuzawa Benika's personal watch, wouldn't it say JB? Zena: That means it belongs to someone else.
Zena: She intended to give it to someone else. Zena: Perhaps it was a Christmas present for someone.
Zena: And I have heard rumors... SFX: Jangle...
24
Zena: that Juuzawa Benika has a child.
Zena: I want to tie up all the loose ends.
Zena: Could you give me any information you have... Zena: on Juuzawa Benika's child?
25
Shinkurou: I knew very little about Benika-san's child. Shinkurou: The little I did know came from speaking with Benika-san herself and chats with Yamie-san. Shinkurou: But not even that little bit had made it to the underworld. Shinkurou: Juuzawa Benika had used all of her influence to protect that information.
Shinkurou: The child was male. Shinkurou: He was in the lower years of elementary school. Shinkurou: He lived in the city.
Shinkurou: Supposing... Zena: Hm? Shinkurou: Supposing Benika-san actually has a child... Shinkurou: what would you do?
Zena: Well...
Zena: There are several paths I could take. Zena: This is Juuzawa Benika's child after all. Zena: The company could carefully train the child and then sell him or her on the black market. Zena: After that, he or she might be tortured to death, stuffed and mounted on the wall, or made into a pet. Zena: The world is full of people who hate that woman. Zena: We could sell her child for a high price.
Zena: So, Shinkurou-kun. Zena: Could you give me... Zena: your answer?
26
SFX: Splash
Zena: What... Zena: is the meaning of this?
Shinkurou: I hate... Shinkurou: people who prey on children.
27
SFX: Stand Zena: And here I thought we could get along...
Shinkurou: I would never betray someone who saved me. SFX: Stand Shinkurou: It is not even worth discussing.
Zena: I see. Zena: Then I will just have to take it by force♪
Box: This is someone from the 13 Inner Families. Box: As well as someone at the top of the Akuu Company.
28
Box: She claims to have defeated Benika-san.
Box: I cannot hold back my power here. SFX: Sharp Box: I need to use my full power against this unknown enemy.
SFX: Hold up
29
SFX: Slide
Shinkurou: A fake arm!?
Zena: That's right. Zena: But don't mistake it for the second rate ones you see around.
Shinkurou: Mine is Hoshigami-made. SFX: Hold up

SFX: Click
Shinkurou: She loaded a cartridge into the fake arm. Shinkurou: It really is meant for combat.
Shinkurou: Don't let it get to you! Shinkurou: The Houzuki style you learned from Houzuki Housen is a killing technique. Shinkurou: I can win if I attack first. SFX: Press
Zena: Okay, Zena: Kurenai-kun.
Zena: Don't die too quickly.

Credit: Ryuumon Ryou x Megumi Kouji Title: File 25 Farewell, Old Friend Right text: Volume 2 is on sale now! Left text: The scene fills everyone's eyes... SFX: Bang Man: Gyah...
Terrorist: We pray that you... Terrorist: come to a quick decision.
News: The confinement of 12 heads of state and their families in Tokyo Neo Tower by terrorists naming themselves Bloody Monday... News: has reached the worst possible conclusion. Text: Live - Tokyo Neo Tower News: Shocking footage of 12 innocent hostages being murdered has been sent out!
02
News: The terrorists demand that the governments of the 12 nations sell all of their US dollars! News: The world exchange system is currently down, but they say the remaining hostages will be killed... News: if the sales are not carried out within 5 minutes of coming back up!
News: This is an interview with the American government. Man: The US government will not give in to terrorists! Man: President Curtis declared that a year ago and followed through with it. Man: We hope the other nations will remain resolute as well.
Hibiki: Mission complete.
03
Hibiki: How did it go, Fujimaru? Hibiki: Did those outside not realize they were just being knocked out with electric bullets?
Fujimaru: No. Fujimaru: Well done, Hibiki! Fujimaru: Well? Fujimaru: That went exactly as you planned.
J: Using samples of Kujou's voice to synthesize a fake order... J: really is one of your specialties.
04
Fujimaru: That was really pushing it. Fujimaru: If they noticed, Hibiki would have been in trouble. SFX: Sigh... J: She was trusting in you. J: You should praise her for that.
Hibiki: I wouldn't run away. Hibiki: If I had, 12 hostages would have been killed.
J: Have you gained the desire to risk your life for complete strangers... J: over the past year?
Hibiki: Yes. Hibiki: Thanks to Fujimaru.
J: That's amazing. J: You really are an ally of justice.
05
J: But the real problem is yet to come. J: We need to hurry to the next step. J: The financial crisis that comes with the exchange system recovering is just 40 minutes away.
J: How far have you gotten on sealing the firewalls? SFX: Click
Fujimaru: Not as far as I'd like. Fujimaru: I only just got to 88%.
J: What do your calculations say, Michael-kun? Michael: That's not enough.
Michael: That would definitely lead to a ton of deaths. Michael: Worst case, the tower itself would be destroyed. Michael: We need at least... Michael: 92...no, 95%.
J: There you have it. J: How long will it take you to reach 95%? SFX: Type type type Fujimaru: I won't know until I try!
06
J: I'd like for it to be... J: 10 minutes.
Fujimaru: That's impossible! I have to pay attention to where the terrorists are on the security cameras... Fujimaru: and seal them bit by bit so as not to stand out much!
J: We have no other option. J: Especially if you insist on not having... J: a single hostage die.
Michael: J. Michael: Falcon. Michael: Cain and Abel are nearby, so they can manually lower area B6.
Michael: That will take care of 2%. Michael: Okay, you two?
07
Cain & Abel: Don't act so self-important, four eyes. Cain & Abel: Understood.
J: Anyway, J: just hurry up. J: You can do anything, right?
Fujimaru: Damn you!!
SFX: Click SFX: Rinnng
Michael: With that dummy voice and the way he brought down the exchange system... Michael: it becomes more and more amazing how explosive his abilities are when he's cornered. J: When he stops thinking about pointless crap and actually focuses, he really shines.
08
J: No matter how high his specs are.. J: it is meaningless if he does not let those abilities thrive. J: Basically, it's a division of roles. J: We just have to make use of him.
J: He isn't good at thinking things through. J: He gets bogged down in his stubborn greed... J: and just makes the situation worse for himself.
Hibiki: That is because Fujimaru is kind. Hibiki: His kindness prevents him from taking the best option if it requires sacrifice.
Hibiki: I only recently grew to understand it. Hibiki: If you are kind... Hibiki: you gain more things you wish to protect which become more constraints.
Hibiki: I used to think that made you weaker.
09
Hibiki: But I was wrong. Hibiki: The weakness you take on is cancelled out... Hibiki: No, overpowered by... Hibiki: the strength you gain from the desire to protect. It has made me stronger than when I was just a soldier!
J: Hmm. SFX: Flick J: I don't really understand all this mental analysis... J: but it seems you are prepared.
Hibiki: You say that... Hibiki: but you knew this long ago. J: Do you have any evidence of that?
Hibiki: Woman's intuition.
SFX: Catch J: What a cheap answer, J: agent.
Fujimaru: I can't lower the barrier at point B23 because a terrorist is there! Fujimaru: Hibiki! Help me out!
10
Hibiki: Leave it to me. Hibiki: I'm going!! Fujimaru: Okay!! Fujimaru: Be careful, Hibiki!
Michael: So... Michael: What's your progress? SFX: Type type J: If the area left to you and the point Hibiki's headed to are closed... J: it'll be 95%!
Michael: Wha-? Michael: It's only been just over 5 minutes!
Fujimaru: I played gunfire and footsteps over the speakers in the passageways... Fujimaru: so the terrorists and Third-i would both frantically run away. Fujimaru: I managed to seal a lot of them in the opening that gave. Fujimaru: It worked even better than I had hoped!
11
Michael: I see. And you avoided any unnecessary battles. Michael: How efficient. Fujimaru: I had to send Hibiki where it failed, though.
J: See? You can do it when you try.
J: Now...
J: Let's finish this in the remaining half an hour!
Michael: Will they go along with it? J: Since the collapse of the American economy would begin worldwide panic... J: some countries probably won't.
12
J: But civilian financial institutions and investment funds will definitely get rid of their dollars. J: I do kind of want to see what would happen if... J: the standard world currency became worthless scraps of paper...
SFX: Turn off
J: But I refuse to let that man have his way... J: I suppose.
J: I will crush him. J: For sure.

SFX: Tap tap tap Kurata: Condor, please respond. Kurata: I know you said to contact you by cell phone if anything happened... Kurata: but that would be difficult in my situation.
Mamiya: Pigeon, hm? Mamiya: That transmission is being intercepted. Mamiya: Keep that in mind as we speak. Kurata: Tap tap (Understood)
Mamiya: We know the identity of the uncertain factor. Mamiya: It is the Wizard Hacker known as Falcon.
Mamiya: The Storyteller sees his abilities as incredibly dangerous!!
14
Mamiya: We can no longer afford to keep Kanou alive. Mamiya: Eliminate him ASAP and regroup with the main force.
Kurata: Understood. SFX: Hold up
Kanou: Kurata. Kanou: Have you contacted Mamiya?
Kurata: No...
Kanou: I see. Kanou: Well, he isn't an easy man to kill. Kurata: Yes...I hope you are right.
Kanou: But he did not like that he could only protect his country while under the jurisdiction of the American troops in Japan. Kanou: I felt it was still worth doing, so I did it... Kanou: but I wonder how he feels about it now?
Kurata: Good question.
15
Kurata: He might... Kurata: still be dissatisfied... Kurata: with this country... Kurata: essentially belonging to America.
SFX: Bang
16
SFX: Vvv SFX: Vvv
Mamiya: Since you are using the phone... Mamiya: I take it you've done it. Kurata: Yes.

Mamiya: Crying? You are mistaken. Mamiya: It just means it is time for your job. SFX: Step forward Maya: I see... Maya(small): Hee hee
Mamiya: Normally, I would never allow someone only after money like you on a mission like this. Mamiya: But the Storyteller felt your knowledge of Falcon's methods was enough.
Maya: Dissatisfied? Maya: You can't have everything your way.
Mamiya: I am quite dissatisfied. Mamiya: But the Storyteller already agreed to it. Mamiya: So go!
18
Maya: OK. Maya: Hee hee. I'm sure you're listening,

Woman: Stop! Woman: Don't take her away!
Kujou: Film the execution and send it out to the whole world. Boy: Papa!

02-03
Kujou: What is wrong, Condor? Kujou: Are you having doubts? Condor: ...No.
Condor: It's just...the JSDF is supposed to protect. Condor: If I said the thought of using our power for violence was not making me hesitate... Condor: I would be lying.
Kujou: The idea that violence cannot change things... Kujou: is a lie. Kujou: Every time the world has been changed it was by unilateral violence.
Condor: ...Yes. Condor: I understand that growing coldhearted is the only way to change the state of the country.
Condor: We cannot... Condor: remain like slaves with the right to change of our own will having been taken from us.
Kujou: Yes. Kujou: That is why we have decided to become the foundation. Text: A twisted conviction that will not change!!

Fujimaru: We don't have time. Fujimaru: Please hurry, J!
Fujimaru: I came this far, so just tell me what to do. Fujimaru: I will see this through to the end!!
04
J: Perfect! J: Show me your conviction is more than just talk... J: by pulling this off, Falcon.
J: You will need to accept the risk of death. J: First...
Fujimaru: Are you... Fujimaru: serious? J: Do you really think... J: I would be joking right now?
Fujimaru: But... Fujimaru: one wrong step... Fujimaru: and Hibiki would...!!
05
J: If you have another idea, I'm listening... J: but thanks to a certain someone, we're a bit short on time.
J: Or... J: is this too difficult for you? J: I thought the great Falcon would be up to the task...
J: but perhaps I overestimated you.
Fujimaru: Fine, I'll do it. Fujimaru: I will protect the hostages and Hibiki!! SFX: Dramatic
J: I'm sick of hearing that. J: How about you actually start doing it? J: Y'know, before it's too late? J: Okay?
J: Tokyo Neo Tower has... J: base stations from various cell phone providers inside it. J: Cell phones connect to the closest station where the signal will be the strongest...
J: so if you hack into the servers of the stations in the tower... J: you gain access to all the cell phones in the area.
Michael: Cell phones?
07
J: Our interception of the terrorists' radio communications... J: has stopped picking up on information on what they are doing.
J: That means the Storyteller is likely responding to Falcon's intervention... J: by having the terrorists communicate via cell phone.
J: But... J: if they have done that...
Fujimaru: Okay, got it! Fujimaru: There are 5279 cell phones transmitting faint signals in the tower!!
Michael: That was fast! Michael: You already hacked into all the companies' servers!?
Fujimaru: Okay, I'm removing the ones used by the Third-i guards. Fujimaru: If I then take just the ones that have made calls in the past 5 minutes...
08-09
Fujimaru: That's 35!!
J: The hostages had their cell phones and other means of communicating taken away. J: Those 35 should all belong to the terrorists. J: And... J: The phone used most frequently in the past 5 minutes should be...
Fujimaru: Found it!! Fujimaru: In all likelihood, this is the Storyteller's. Fujimaru: This is his phone!!
Fujimaru: Okay! Fujimaru: We have a chance now!!

Fujimaru: I've secured a route!
Fujimaru: I don't see any terrorists on the surveillance cameras. Fujimaru: Okay, just a bit further...

08
Kujou: I see.
Kujou: After contact was lost with the two in the control room, the system came back up. Kujou: Whoever took control can freely use the system. Kujou: There is no mistaking it.
Kujou: This uncertain factor is...
SFX: Click click
Kujou: Condor. Kujou: It's me. Condor: What is it? Condor: Why are you using the phone?
Kujou: I know who the uncertain factor is. Kujou: It is Takagi Fujimaru. Kujou: The wizard-class hacker known as Falcon.
09
Kujou: Falcon has complete control of the tower's main system. Kujou: He may also have a connection to the remnants of Third-i. Kujou: It is possible our operation could drag on.
Kujou: In case he is monitoring our communications, we should do it all by phone now. Kujou: We already shared all our numbers.
Condor: I have heard of this hacker known as Falcon... Condor: but he is just a boy of around 20. Condor: I do not see why you should fear him.
10
Kujou: Many people have underestimated him for that reason and been crushed by him. Kujou: As his presence was not made public, people in the JSDF like you may not know...
Kujou: but he was working in secret during the incident a year ago. Kujou: With nothing but a single computer, he ended the terrorist attack by destroying an enemy that annihilated an American intelligence team and a platoon of special units. Kujou: It was not because of Third-i's ability that we were forced to reshape our plan. Kujou: It was mostly due to his frightening hacking ability.
11
Condor: So his presence rivals that of an army... Condor: or... Condor: even more? Kujou: Yes.
Kujou: But if we are up against Falcon, we can use Takagi Haruka. Kujou: Bring her back immediately. Condor: About that...
Condor: I cannot contact Shrike and the other who took her. Condor: It seems they have...
Kujou: betrayed us... Kujou: or... Kujou: been switched out with someone else?
12
Kujou: I see. Kujou: I had heard he had disappeared. Kujou: So he has gotten himself here.
Condor: Storyteller? Kujou: Listen, Condor.
Kujou: Due to unknown trouble, the world's exchange system was brought down. Condor: Yes. Condor: I had heard it was overloaded due to the concentrated transactions.
13
Kujou: Most likely, it was Falcon.
Kujou: If that system had not gone down, one of our objectives would have already been completed.
Kujou: The demand we gave the Japanese government... Kujou: was to sell all of their stored foreign currency. Kujou: If investors had all gotten rid of their dollars in fear of that happening... Kujou: the dollar would now be a worthless scrap of paper.
Kujou: Even if the Japanese government did not comply... Kujou: the great financial country of America would be as good as dead.
Kujou: But what about now? Kujou: The exchange system will be back up in about an hour. Kujou: We have no choice but to delay our plan.
Condor: But... Condor: won't that be resolved as soon as the system is back up? SFX: Jangle Kujou: It will not be that simple.
14
Kujou: Their goal... Kujou: is to use that open time... Kujou: to free the hostages in some way or another.
Condor: But that's impossible!! Kujou: I doubt Falcon and Third-i's Exodus...
Kujou: are unrelated.
Kujou: And whether it is impossible or not does not matter... Kujou: when it comes to... Kujou: people like those two.
Condor: Those "two"? Condor: Falcon and...someone else?
15
Kujou: Kamishima Shimon died to change this country. Kujou: It is his child.
Kujou: He promised to return him to my daughter once this was all over. Kujou: The child was not the type to have great ideals for this country... Kujou: but when he did as he was told, he could-
Kujou: We will make the first move. Kujou: I will not let them have their way.
Kujou: Bring out one hostage from each of the G12 nations including Japan... Kujou: and execute them.
16
Kujou: Film the execution and send it out to the whole world. Kujou: After that, have all the world's governments sell their American dollars in addition to Japan.
Kujou: That way, the instant the world's exchange system goes back up... Kujou: America's financial control will completely crumble. Kujou: It will be over!!
17
SFX: Stare
Fujimaru: The terrorists have begun taking hostages somewhere! Fujimaru: J! What is going on? J: Most likely... J: they are going to kill them as an example.
Fujimaru: Wha-!?
J: I would say I expected this, but I didn't expect them to go this far. J: Once they realized you were here, they decided not to wait around and to make the first move. J: The instant the exchange system goes back up... J: is the instant the dollar collapses.
Fujimaru: They would kill the hostages... Fujimaru: for just that?
18
Fujimaru: How could they? Fujimaru: How am I supposed to deal with this?
J: Isn't it about time you gave up on this 0 sacrifices business? J: For now, we should focus on the heads of the 12 nations and their families. Fujimaru: No!
Fujimaru: This only happened because I came here. Fujimaru: I will not let there be any sacrifices! Fujimaru: Not even one!
J: Do you have a plan? Fujimaru: I... Fujimaru: I'll think of something!!
J: I had noticed this before... J: but even if your abilities are a sight to behold... J: your sense about what actions to take... J: is downright pathetic.
19
J: You leave me no choice. SFX: Grab
J: I'll give you a plan. Fujimaru: R- Fujimaru: Really, J?
J: However... J: it is possible it will lead to sacrifices in our pawns. J: This game plan is about as risky as it gets.
J: Are you prepared to take that risk... J: or are you nothing but talk?
Michael: I thought you said you'd grown out of childish things? Michael: That was quite an expression there. J: Quite an expression, hm?
J: It was pretty bad. J: I really wish... J: I could grow out of it.

Fujimaru: I... Fujimaru: I'll do it! SFX: Clench

01
Cruz: My... Text: Cruz awakens! What is his power!? Cruz: power!? Text: Volume 14 is on sale now!! Title: #101 City Arc (12) Credit: Imai Kami
Cruz: I-impossible!!
Disk: Your perception is always amazing... Disk: but you never see anything when it comes to yourself.
02
Disk: You didn't notice? Disk: There were plenty of signs. Cruz: Eh!?
Blade: Think back to the fight with Arclight... Blade: or the fights with Kafka and Uten.
Blade: You remained relatively unscathed even in those battles. SFX: Rumble rumble Blade: Did you never wonder why?
03
Disk: With St. Rose Academy, you fell from quite a height... Disk: yet you were not killed.
Setsuna: Before, that strike would have spun your head all the way around twice. Setsuna: It seems you've done some training.
Cruz: No way... Cruz: It can't be...
Cruz: So you all realized I was a Needless!? Cruz: Wh-when!?
Disk: That knowledge... SFX: Whoosh Disk: was a complete coincidence.
04
Disk: I was considering archiving the footage of you in Black Market in the Fake Arca-man Costume, so I was looking back through the footage frame by frame for purely sexual reasons. SFX: Rumble rumble Cruz: Eh? What was that?
Disk: Back then... SFX: Dramatic Disk: You subconsciously repelled the Rain Laser.
Cruz: No way!!!
Disk: My memories are stored in my brain as video footage, so I am sure of it. Disk: That Bionic Compressor girl was only barely able to shift those lasers by a few centimeters... SFX: Rumble rumble Disk: but you completely bent one.
05
Box: I have always had a sexual interest in you, so I have been observing you with my Scan. SFX: Rumble rumble rumble SFX(next to camera): Stare Box: As a result, I have successfully found the characteristic signs of someone awakening to their powers. Cruz(in bath): Hm hm hmm Cruz: Does this panel need to be so big?
Disk: Long before this, I had taken a pair of your used panties for sniffing purposes... Disk: When I analyzed them, I found Eden's Seed. SFX: Shock Cruz: Waaaaiiiittt!! Waaaaiiiittt!!
06
Blade: Apparently, it is found in the bodies of all Needlesses, and this would have been a fatal amount for a normal human. SFX: Rumble rumble Blade: The only way you could have survived with that much in your body is if you are a Needless.
Disk: In other words... SFX: Dramatic Disk: that is proof that you are a Needless.
Cruz: I can't believe it...
Disk: Then who was it that stopped Arca's fist when she tried to kill you in the Simeon branch building?
07
Cruz: D-didn't Arclight do that...?
Disk: Why would Arclight need to save you? Disk: I doubt he paid you any heed. Cruz: Ah...
Disk: According to my analysis, that was not Psychokinesis, gravity, or magnetism. Disk: It was an unknown power.
Cruz: You mean... Cruz: that was my power!?
Blade: Yes.
Cruz: Wh-what exactly... Cruz: is my power!? Blade: How should I know? Cruz: Eh!?
08
Blade: Your power and its name are not taught to you by anyone. You recall them as if from a memory you have had since before birth. Blade: If you can't do that, you must not be fully developed yet.
Cruz: Oh... Cruz: I see...
Cruz: Th-then try learning my power with your Byakugou!! Cruz: Surely you'll be able to fully use it, father.
Blade: I already did, but it didn't work. Cruz: Eh!?
Blade: A few days ago, when Disk and I were stripping you naked in your sleep to put kneesocks and elbow-length gloves on you, I accidentally touched my forehead to yours!! SFX: Rumble rumble Blade: If I could learn it, I would have absorbed it then!! Cruz: You too?
09
Cruz: Then that pill you had me take was...!?
Blade: Yes. Blade: It was concentrated Eden's Seed. Blade: You could call it a Needless acceleration drug.
Blade: We did not have the technology to purify it ourselves... Blade: but we cultivated the material taken from Ishiyama's syringe.
Cruz: So you... Cruz: turned me into a Needless!?
Disk: No. Disk: My drug did nothing more than increase the amount of Eden's Seed in your body.
Disk: Powers tend to blossom as a self-defense instinct in an extreme situation. Disk: Some people describe it as having themselves "wake up to their true self".
10
Disk: Until now, you were a resident of the Black Spot, but you felt inferior due to your complete lack of powers and strength. And so you denied yourself. Disk: But when you came alone to the City, the many dangers you faced activated your self-defense instincts. Disk: And you came to understand that you are a resident of the Black Spot, didn't you?
Disk: You realized who you really are.
Disk: We did not awaken that sense of your true self. Disk: In the end, it was you who opened your eyes.
Cruz: Ah...

Blade: How dare he steal my fun!! Eve: So he is alive. Eve: He just doesn't know when to give up.
Disk: We don't have time!! Disk: We'll leave it to them!! SFX: Gunfire Disk: A simultaneous attack on the Black Spot is already beginning!! Disk: We need to defeat Arclight and stop it!!
17
Disk: But... Disk: I'm glad you made it, Cruz-kun. Cruz: Eh?
Blade: Remember what you said? Blade: "I'm tired of just getting in your way." "If I could help you out somehow, I want to do it."

Man: If she stays too long, should we break down the door... Man: or... Man: how about killing her?
Kujou: Wait. Kujou: There is something more to this.
SFX: Step Man: Something...more? Man: Do you think that girl is planning something?
Man: Even if she is, what can one girl do with Shrike and Kingfisher there?
Kujou: Those two were not members of CraUns like you, were they? Man: No.
Kujou: What if they have betrayed us? Kujou: Or... Kujou: what if they have already been killed and replaced?
06
SFX: Step Man: Isn't that overthinking things? Kujou: No. Kujou: There is also the possibility of some other unknown factor.
Kujou: That girl is no ordinary child. Kujou: She is the daughter of a man who risked his life for this country... Kujou: and the girl my grandson chose. Kujou: She would not make foolish actions out of fear for her life.
Kujou: And most importantly...
Kujou: she is the sister... Kujou: of Takagi Fujimaru aka Falcon. Kujou: Most likely, this unknown factor... Kujou: is the wizard-class hacker Falcon!!
07
Kujou: Contact the control room immediately. Kujou: Have them shut down the power to the tower's central control system.
Man: But that will obstruct our control of the tower...

Fujimaru: There isn't much time left. Fujimaru: We need to hurry up with the mission. Fujimaru: I don't want to stop it too soon and be stuck desperately climbing up!
Men: Shut down the tower's control system right away!? Men: But that controls everything from... Men: the elevators to the emergency doors.

J: This is a problem to the mission as a whole... J: but they'll also realize something is wrong when the dead terrorist, Jacob, and Takagi Haruka do not return.

J: How are you even planning to get up there? Fujimaru: There are small freight elevators in the western area. Fujimaru: I'll use one of those.
J: Those ones meant for the restaurant area that can only take 50 kg? J: Those aren't made for people. J: You're both... J: too big and too heavy.
Fujimaru: From what I can find, they're made to hold up to 70 kg. Fujimaru: It's possible they won't move when the weight limit is exceeded... Fujimaru: but I can just hack the sensor to bypass that and I just need to break the top open to fit!
J: If it shakes too much, you could be killed. J: And if it doesn't stop until it reaches the restaurant floor at the top, you'll be crushed against the ceiling.
Fujimaru: If I grab on tight, it won't be as dangerous. Fujimaru: And as long as it's connected to the network, I can stop it before I get crushed!

J: But... J: if you get killed and the tower's server is brought down, this plan is done for. J: Don't forget that I will then have to switch over to a plan that will not necessarily rescue all 200 hostages.

Fujimaru: Damn. Text: Girl vs. Terrorist!! Fujimaru: I thought they would at least allow him to go alone when taking a girl to the bathroom... Fujimaru: but I guess not. J: Yes, but this is still only one terrorist with them. J: And no other hostages took this chance to use the bathroom. We were lucky.
02
J: Given the overall plan, we can't have Jacob use any forceful methods at the moment. J: As such... J: she is going to have to help us out some more.
J: If she can... J: that is.
SFX: Clench
Fujimaru: I know! Fujimaru: Damn... Fujimaru: you're annoying.
03
Fujimaru: Listen, Haruka. Fujimaru: That man has something he needs to set up. Fujimaru: Due to certain reasons, he can't do it himself.
Fujimaru: I need you to take the gun and spare he has and place it at the designated point.
Fujimaru: I know I am asking you the unreasonable. SFX: Chk
Fujimaru: But this is the only way to rescue everyone. Fujimaru: Please, Haruka.
Haruka: I'll do it, onii-chan. Haruka: No... Haruka: I must do it!!
04
Fujimaru: Haruka, can you hear me? Fujimaru: If you can, tap your back teeth twice.
SFX: Tap tap Fujimaru: Don't look around like that. Fujimaru: Calm down and listen.
Fujimaru: I will lead you to the... Fujimaru: designated point. SFX: Type
Fujimaru: Listen, Haruka. Fujimaru: I will give you a sign when you are there. SFX: Whoosh Fujimaru: Act exactly as I explained earlier. Fujimaru: I will tell you when to begin. Fujimaru: Got it?
SFX: Slam
05
SFX: Step step step
Man: Tch. Man: The barrier's down. Jacob: There was a firefight around here. Jacob: The emergency fire system must have activated due to the smoke.
Man: Damn. And the bathroom is beyond here. Man: I guess we have to circle around. Jacob: No, we can just go through that emergency door. Jacob: That will get us to the other side of the barrier.
Man: Oh, yeah. Text: Heh heh Man: That's lucky. If we went the long way, the girl'd probably wet herself. Man: C'mon, get going.

Haruka: I need to hurry! Haruka: Onii-chan!
Fujimaru: Calm down, Haruka! Fujimaru: Point 1...the place to set it is in the middle of that room. Fujimaru: A potted plant was placed there, so a circular mark is still there.
11
Fujimaru: Do you see it!? Haruka: Yes...here it is!
Man: Hey, open up!! SFX: Shock SFX: Wham
Fujimaru: Place the spare you were given there. Fujimaru: Make it so it doesn't stand out! Fujimaru: Gather things around there, making it look like they're to hide you!
Haruka: I'm scared... Haruka: But...! SFX: Drag
Haruka: Dad and onii-chan have been fighting like this all along! Haruka: So has Otoya-san... Haruka: And the people of Third-i! Haruka: They've been doing this...
12
Haruka: Kujou is a wonderful person... Haruka: and I don't know what he wants to do to this country... Haruka: but there is no way this violence will bring happiness to the country! Haruka: Isn't that right, dad!!
SFX: Wham
Man: Y-you brat!! SFX: Enter Man: Not a move!!
SFX: Place

Fujimaru: Sh-shit! The guy's in a rage! Fujimaru: Have Jacob save her, J!
J: Jacob. J: Don't move. J: I repeat.
J: Calm down. Jacob: If we take her back to the party floor, we can show the hostages that escape is futile. Man: Good idea. And a corpse would work even better!!
Jacob: That girl was with Kujou. Jacob: We do not know if we have the authority to kill her. Man: I don't give a fuck!!
Man: If she had gotten away... SFX: Pant pant Man: we might have been purged!!
Jacob: That is exactly why you need to calm down. Jacob: You're a professional, right? Jacob: Then do not do anything that might not be in the interests of the client.
14
Fujimaru: It's not working! Fujimaru: J!! Fujimaru: Have Jacob take him out!!
J: No. J: I told you we need to give the mission priority. J: You agreed. J: If we shoot him here, the mission will be in trouble.
Fujimaru: Are you just going to abandon Haruka!?
J: He is not some thug. J: If he calms down, he will not shoot her.
SFX: Breath

Fujimaru: Thank god... Fujimaru: Thanks, Hibiki. Fujimaru: I'm glad I sent you over just in case!
J: Ahh... J: Now you've done it. SFX: Gulp J: Now the mission's in trouble.
Fujimaru: Haruka was about to be killed!! Fujimaru: How dare you...!!
J: You knew it would be dangerous from the moment Takagi Haruka left the party area. J: That's why I asked if you were serious. J: And... Fujimaru: And so it's okay to treat her as expendable!?
18
J: Give it a rest already. J: I am not doing this for fun. J: Remember when you asked me what I was planning, Falcon? J: I am planning to stop Kujou for the sake of the future.
J: You said you would save everyone even if you had to take on the name of a terrorist. J: Was that determination a lie!? J: No matter what you say... J: if you are not wholly committed...
19
J: you will not bring any reward... J: to those who are fighting while trusting in you!!
Fujimaru: ...Sorry.
SFX: Twitch
J: We need to think about what to do now. SFX: Sit J: Both for this and the time we've lost having Mizusawa Hibiki... J: go all the way back there.

SFX: Bang bang
SFX: Ricochet ricochet
Kanou: Pant pant. Damn, I just can't hit them. Kanou: And yet you managed to hit them. Kanou: I'm losing confidence in myself here. Kurata: I hope Mamiya-san is okay...
Kurata: Maybe my radio is broken. Kurata: I can't seem to contact him.
SFX: Focus
02
Kanou: I can't... Kanou: contact Makimura either.
Kurata: Does that mean...?
Kanou: Don't be silly! Kanou: They wouldn't get taken out so easily!! SFX: Slap
SFX: Smile Kanou: ...Right?
Kurata: ...Right! Kurata: We just need to believe that they are on the way to secure their route... Kurata: while we make sure to secure the other route!
Kanou: Right. Kanou: Don't lose your focus, Kurata! Kurata: Okay!
Text: Volume 1 is on sale now!
03
Kurata: One other thing, Kanou-san. Kanou: What? Kurata: The escape routes are the cornerstone of Exodus... Kurata: so could you tell me what they are?
Kurata: If we get split up... Kurata: I want both of us to be able to carry out the mission.
Kanou: That's a good point. Kanou: The escape rou-
Voices: Were they over there? Voices: No... Kanou: Shit! Kanou: We can't let them find us! Let's go!
04
Kurata: Tch... SFX: Ksshh Mamiya: This is Condor. Mamiya: Report your situation in Morse code.
SFX: Ta-tap SFX: Tap tap Kurata: This is Pigeon. Kurata: I still haven't gotten the information from Kanou. Kurata: How about you? Mamiya: We can't count on him anymore.
Mamiya: By a fluke, he realized what was going on... Mamiya: and γ-team took him out before I could get any info out of him. Mamiya: Don't kill Kanou yet. Mamiya: Stay with him and keep him alive as long as possible so that we can keep tabs on Third-i's movements.
05
Kurata: Understood. SFX: Tap Text: A threat approaches to make their efforts futile!!
Men: Move all these plants over by the Party Floor windows. Men: We can use them to hide behind in case a helicopter attacks.
Fujimaru: N- Fujimaru: Not good! Fujimaru: If they move those at Point 1...!! Fujimaru: J!!
J: Honestly... J: Using the plants to hide themselves is such a pain and so plain. J: If they want cover from snipers, they could make a perfectly good human wall by having the foreign VIPs stand there. Fujimaru: What are we going to do!?
07
J: All we can do... J: is find some way to move those plants back... J: or put a spare there.
Fujimaru: We can't move them back... Fujimaru: so we'll have to use the spares!! Fujimaru: Who has one!
J: Jacob does. Fujimaru: Good! Thank goodness he's still on the party Floor! Fujimaru: Okay, have him-
J: I can't. J: Jacob can't leave that floor.
Fujimaru: What!?
Fujimaru: That's right. Fujimaru: The terrorists aren't allowed to take independent actions.
08
J: Right. J: That's one of the pieces of information your hacking gave us beforehand. J: Any independent actions will be seen as the actions of a disguised enemy or a traitor. J: They will either be restrained or shot on the spot. J: By having them all watching over each other, unity is guaranteed between these soldiers with no command and without knowing who the others are or what they look like. J: It's a pretty good idea.
J: Cain and Abel have a spare too... J: but it would completely ruin the schedule to have them return to Point 1.
J: We'd never make it in time.
J: Your boasting... J: about how you are going to rescue all 220 of them has suddenly... J: become impossible.
09
J: If we have Jacob do anything too forceful, the other blocks could become more alert. J: That would be a problem.
Fujimaru: We need an excuse. Fujimaru: Anything. SFX: Scratch scratch Fujimaru: But what...?
SFX: Realization
Fujimaru: That's it. Fujimaru: What if he was accompanied by a hostage? Fujimaru: Like taking the hostage to the bathroom or something?
J: Eh? J: Really?
J: That could indeed work as an excuse... J: but...
J: You understand, don't you? SFX: Tap J: We need a hostage that we can explain the situation to and have act.
10
J: That leaves... J: only one option.
Fujimaru: We have no choice.
Fujimaru: In order to quickly recover within the limited time... Fujimaru: we have to go with that.
Fujimaru: Haruka.
11
Girl: Why are they lining up those plants? Girl: What's happening? Boy: Papa and mama look so scared... Boy: Uuh...Are we...going to die?
Haruka: Don't cry, okay? Haruka: You're a boy, right?

Fujimaru: There is... Fujimaru: something I need you to do.
Fujimaru: To be honest... Fujimaru: I don't want to ask this of you.
Fujimaru: It's... Fujimaru: very dangerous.
13
Fujimaru: But... Fujimaru: You are the only one I can ask. Fujimaru: If we can't recover now, our rescue operation will fail.
Fujimaru: If you're willing, tap your back teeth twice. Fujimaru: If you have the slightest doubt, do it only once-
SFX: Tap tap
Haruka: I'll do it. Haruka: If... Haruka: there is something I can do...! Haruka: I will do it...
Otoya: Once the party is over... Otoya: I have something I want to talk with you about. Otoya: And something I want to give you.

Fujimaru: Haruka...
Fujimaru: Okay. Fujimaru: First, look over at the tallest of the masked terrorists. Fujimaru: He is currently holding his right hand to his ear. SFX: Focus
SFX: Look around
Fujimaru: Go over and speak to Kujou pretending you have to use the bathroom. Fujimaru: When that man approaches, tell him you need to go to the bathroom. Fujimaru: If you understand... Fujimaru: tap your back teeth twice.
SFX: Tap tap
Boy: What is it?
SFX: Squeeze Haruka: Nothing.
15
Haruka: That's right. Haruka: I must... Haruka: make sure everyone returns home safe!
Otoya: Mizusawa Hibiki. Hibiki: What?
Otoya: When you shot... Otoya: before I did it wasn't because Fujimaru told you, was it?
16
SFX: Step Hibiki: No, Fujimaru would never tell me to do that.
Hibiki: But... Hibiki: I can tell. SFX: Smile Hibiki: I'm just that in love.
Otoya: Next time... Otoya: I will shoot.
17
Otoya: If you really aren't a weapon... Otoya: and are a human who is prepared to dirty her hands for the man she loves...
Otoya: then just like you did not allow me to become a murderer for Fujimaru's sake... Otoya: I do not want you... Otoya: to dirty yourself any more for Fujimaru's sake.
SFX: Hee hee
Hibiki: Understood. SFX: Step Hibiki: Do... Hibiki: as you wish.
Hibiki: People are... Hibiki: kind. Hibiki: And not just Fujimaru. Hibiki: Tons of kind people are out there.
Hibiki: It's scary.
19
Hibiki: If I wonder if the person might be kind... Hibiki: or have those who are kind to him... Hibiki: I might not be able to pull the trigger. Hibiki: And then it would be me...
Hibiki: I don't want to die. Hibiki: I want to live... Hibiki: and have Fujimaru embrace me once more. Hibiki: One day, I want to have his child. Hibiki: And not a child like me that never knows her mother or father. SFX: Tear...
Hibiki: An irreplaceable-

Otoya: Mizusawa...

Makimura: And why are the shot terrorists getting back up?
Makimura: Were those blanks!? Makimura: Was the battle with the terrorists just an act!?
Makimura: No way... Makimura: That would mean Mamiya-san is...
Mamiya: I suppose this should be expected of the JSDF's record holder for moving target marksmanship. SFX: Step Mamiya: I have been a commander for some time... Mamiya: but I rarely see such excellent movement.
06
Mamiya: But aiming for the head is not a good idea. Mamiya: It makes the target smaller for the shooter... SFX: Step step Mamiya: and the target can instinctually avoid the bullet with the proper training.
SFX: Heartbeat heartbeat heartbeat
Mamiya: That is one of the most basic standards of combat shooting. Mamiya: Do the soldiers who should be protecting the country forget what it is to be a warrior... Mamiya: when they go to an intelligence organization like Third-i? SFX: Step
Makimura: What are you saying, Mamiya-san!? Makimura: Don't tell me you're a traitor! Makimura: A terrorist!!

Kirishima: How can we say we've saved Japan again and again!? Kirishima: We wouldn't have been able to pull any of it off without him.
Kirishima: And... Kirishima: once again...
Sawakita: Kirishima-san. Sawakita: Are you okay? SFX: Step
Kirishima: Sawakita... Kirishima: Thanks. Did something happen? I'll be right back. Sawakita: No. Sawakita: I was just wondering if you were okay.
Kirishima: It's just... Kirishima: this possibility of another spy in Third-i.
10
Sawakita: Yes, there is that. Sawakita: But there is also Falcon.
Kirishima: Yes. Kirishima: To be honest, I don't know what to believe. Kirishima: I'm conflicted.
Kirishima: Sawakita. Kirishima: Before, you told me to keep some distance between Tsukamoto and Makimura. Kirishima: Do you suspect her?
Sawakita: No, that was because... Sawakita: she and Makimura-kun... Sawakita: were engaged once.
11
Kirishima: They "were" engaged? Sawakita: They got engaged... Sawakita: but due to his family...
Sawakita: it fell through.
Kirishima: I see. Kirishima: Makimura does come from a rather distinguished family. Kirishima: Did he split up because his family told him to?
Sawakita: Given his family, he probably didn't have much of a choice. Sawakita: He said he isn't bothered by it anymore... Sawakita: but with how it was forced on him, I didn't want any unnecessary hindrances to their work. Sawakita: But it seems it wasn't necessary. Sawakita: She has been taking care of it herself.
Sawakita: Are you doubting... Sawakita: Third-i?
Kirishima: I trust all of us. Kirishima: But when I remember that woman... Kirishima: I start to doubt.
12
Sawakita: Houshou-san, you mean? Kirishima: Yes. Kirishima: I trusted her skills and her as a person.
Sawakita: Did you admire her?
Kirishima: I wouldn't go that far.
Kirishima: But when I remember that she was a traitor... Kirishima: it makes me doubt... Kirishima: what I can trust.
Kirishima: Including him.
Kirishima: Let's head back. Kirishima: We need to trust our comrades.. Kirishima: and do our utmost to protect this country!!
13
Makimura: I can't believe it... Makimura: Mamiya-san was a contender to be one of the highest members of the JSDF. SFX: Pant pant Makimura: Why would he be a terrorist!?
Makimura: Don't tell me all of CraUns is with the enemy! Makimura: Or the entire JSDF!!
Makimura: There could even be traitors in Third-i!! Makimura: I need to contact them. SFX: Throb throb Makimura: At this rate, Exodus will not just fail, everyone will be-...!!
Makimura: Dammit! How could I let him take my communications device.
Tsukamoto: You really are naive! Tsukamoto: Are you some kind of idiot?
Makimura: Shit... Makimura: This is no time to be remembering that...
14
Makimura: Just you watch, Mari! I'll show you... Makimura: that it was not my family that got me into Third-i! Makimura: It was my own ability!!

Men: Move all these plants over by the Party Floor windows. Men: We can use them to hide behind in case a helicopter attacks. Men: Understood.

Fujimaru: J. Fujimaru: Look at Point 1!!
J: I heard, I heard. SFX: Crack J: It looks like things aren't going to go exactly as planned. Fujimaru: This is no time for that! Fujimaru: What are we going to do!?
J: All we can do... J: is find some way to move those plants back... J: or put the spares there.

Shinkurou: Um, yes... Shinkurou: Oh, but that was...
Yuuno: I do not want to hear any excuses.
Yuuno: Why did you not tell me anything about this? Yuuno: Don't tell me you find Murakami-san to be more- Shinkurou: N-no, that's not it at all!!
Yuuno: Of course not. Yuuno: You would be much happier going on a trip with me.
Yuuno: We used to live together, so we could just stay in the same room. Yuuno: And then who knows what would happen between us. Yuuno: Oh, maybe even that...

14
Yuuno: Okay, listen up. On paper: Christmas Yuuno: From what has happened in the past... Yuuno: it is clear that there are a few barriers we must overcome to spend Christmas together.
Yuuno: First of all, there is Murasaki-chan. Shinkurou: Oh... Shinkurou: She has to go to some grand party with a punch of VIPs. Shinkurou: I need to give her her present afterwards.
Yuuno: What about Murakami-san?
Shinkurou: She has to help with the restaurant. Shinkurou: It's the same every year.
SFX: Stand
15
Yuuno: So...
Yuuno: You really will be spending Christmas... Yuuno: here?
Shinkurou: Y-yes. Shinkurou: I used to do that every year when I was staying here... Shinkurou: But I was thinking it might not be the best idea now... Shinkurou: since it would be like I was moving back in. Yuuno: Not at all!!
Yuuno: We'd love to have you! Shinkurou: Thanks...
SFX: Slide Mother: Yuuno, you have another call.

Mother: It's Aragaki-kun from the third year. Mother: Oh, am I interrupting?

SFX: Smile
Mother: Feel free to stay over at our place on Christmas. Mother: And of course, you can stay in her room! Shinkurou: Wait, what...?
Mother: It's perfectly okay. Mother: I won't interrupt, so feel free to go all out... Mother: and have lots of sex.
Chizuru: What's sex?
17
Shinkurou: Ch-Chi-chan... Shinkurou: Um... Shinkurou: That's something you'll learn about when you're older... Shinkurou: I guess... Chizuru: Ohh...
Chizuru: Then when Chizuru grows up... Chizuru: you can teach me, onii-chan!
Shinkurou: I wonder what it is... Shinkurou: she has to tell me in such a hurry.
Sign: Fuumitei Dad: Oh, Shin-chan, you're here!
Dad: Sorry, but she's still working on her "other" job. Shinkurou: Eh?
Dad: She's seemed really enthusiastic ever since she got her grandfather's notebook. Dad: She might get mad if you interrupted her.
Dad: Well, you can just go take a bath... Dad: and wait a bit!

Benika: I'm coming up there to kick your asses, so prepare yourselves!!!
Box: And... Box: the case was resolved.

Box: A few minutes after Benika-san entered the building... Box: the criminal group had been defeated.
Box: Her loyal subordinate, Inuzuka Yayoi, had gotten her the information she needed about what was going on inside... Box: and Juuzawa Benika had used that information to "mediate" the issue.
31
Box: Benika-san gave me a firsthand example... Box: of the ideal form of someone heading down the path... Box: I was about to start down.

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...

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

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

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.

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... Ginko: and yet I'm an information broker...
21
Ginko: I need to get it.
Ginko: I need to get what... Ginko: my grandfather left here.

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.
Murasaki: I will not run.
Murasaki: Why must we flee when we have done nothing wrong?

Shinkurou: The Four Western Gate families?
03
Tamaki: Now this is amazing. Tamaki: It's like she's standing in front of a mirror. Yamie: If you mixed them up, it would be impossible to tell them apart. Koto: Oh, c'mon now. Koto: I can tell them apart. Koto: After all, our young master is a bit cuter.

Shinkurou: Wh-what an amazing house...
Koto: Young master... Koto: Should we really be... Koto: inviting in these unknown people... Koto: during this time of such dispute?
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.
16
SFX: Mad
Tamaki: Oh? Yamie: Heh heh. It appears the girl is upset.
Murasaki: Of course I am!!
Murasaki: I can't believe... Murasaki: Shinkurou would mistake someone else for me...
17
Usui: Oh... Usui: I-I am very sorry about that. 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.
20
Tamaki: Which one is Murasaki-chan!? Shinkurou: Why are you just playing around, Tamaki-san!?
Tamaki: Oh? Tamaki: So you can't tell? Shinkurou: B-but...
Shinkurou: If they're wearing the same clothes... Shinkurou: they look exactly the same...
21
Shinkurou: This one. Tamaki: Wow, that's right!!
Murasaki: Shinkurou!! SFX: Hop
Murasaki: So you really are my Shinkurou!! Tamaki: That's amazing, Shinkurou-kun. This must be love! Tamaki: Seeing those two is enough to bring out my passion even during the day! Shinkurou: Ha ha... Shinkurou: I definitely can't tell them I just chose the one that looked like she was about to attack me.
SFX: Angry
22
Ginko: Lolicon. SFX: Stab

Shinkurou: Eh...!? Shinkurou: Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh!!?
23
Shinkurou: Y- Shinkurou: You're a boy!!?

Shinkurou: But you're so cute...
SFX: Blush
Tamaki: He really is a boy. Tamaki: I made sure to check back there. Shinkurou: Don't check that kind of thing!!

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. Shinkurou: What do you mean, our first time?

Shinkurou: Eh? Ginko: At any rate, don't let Murasaki-chan out of your sight while in Kyoto. Ginko: I have something I must do.
Box: Come to think of it... Box: Why did Ginko come here to Kyoto anyway?

Michael: It certainly us. Michael: J, now Block G-13. Michael: The sealing of the fireproof barriers is currently at 18%. Michael: That leaves only another 22% to reach our goal.
J: Understood. J: We're making good time. SFX: Write
J: Contact Jacob... J: and have them resume the mission. Michael: Will do.
05
J: Falcon, J: we're monitoring your progress on the areas we gave you to lock down. J: I'm glad to see it's going well.
J: We're about to head to the next stage too. J: You're making pretty good pace, but are you sure they won't notice? Fujimaru: Of course.
Fujimaru: I'm only doing the areas the terrorists have already inspected. Fujimaru: After all, this will all be for naught if they notice.
06
Fujimaru: I'm more worried about your end of things. Fujimaru: If your calculations are wrong, the tower itself will... SFX: Type type
J: We've made no mistakes in our preparations. J: As planned, everything was completed before the summit began.
J: Well... J: sneaking into the tower's observation floor in the middle of the night... J: apparently took some doing.
J: But the calculations won't be an issue. SFX: Lean J: He may not look it, but Michael-kun...
07
Fujimaru: studied the construction of high rise buildings in college. Fujimaru: Yes, you've told me that how many times now?
J: ...Right. J: Well, he's thoroughly checked and rechecked the calculations to ensure there are no mistakes. J: There's no problem there.
Michael: J, Michael: that was all based on the documents we got beforehand, so technically... Michael: it was all theoretical. SFX: Scratch Michael: We won't be able to deal with... Michael: any irregularities.
SFX: Grab
Fujimaru: I won't let any irregularities occur. Fujimaru: You can count on it!
08
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.
09
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!!

Kirishima: Another... Kirishima: spy in Third-i!?
15
Kirishima: No, wait!! Kirishima: If Falcon is with the enemy, he could be intercepting our information in ways we can't even imagine!!
Kirishima: Third-i has fought together through two huge terrorists plots. Kirishima: We worked together based on unwavering trust. Kirishima: There can't be a traitor in Third-i now!!
Kirishima: Understood, Kaidou. Kirishima: We will contact Sakaki's team and have them rendezvous with Kanou-san and the others through a different route! Kirishima: You treat your wounds and just stay where you are. Don't force yourself!
Kaidou: Kirishima-san... Kaidou: I have... Kaidou: one last...thing to say...
16
Kaidou: This is...no ordinary terrorist attack. SFX: Pant pant pant pant Kaidou: The enemy performed too well...given how strict the multi-national...security was. Kaidou: We had...no choice but to...leave our comrades behind...and flee...as they were being shot one after another... Kaidou: Some...large power is at work here... Kaidou: Some...large...

Kanou: Goddamn them!! Mamiya: What is it, Kanou?
Kanou: Kaidou... Kanou: another Third-i member was taken out. Kanou: And it seems the enemy knows our location.
Mamiya: ...What!?
Kurata: You mean... Kurata: there could be ANOTHER spy in Third-i!?
Kanou: So you've heard, Kanou: Mamiya.
18
Mamiya: I wouldn't know about any from other areas, but I do know about the ones that came from the JSDF. Mamiya: I heard about Houshou Sayuri and Shiota Makoto.
SFX: Realization Mamiya: Kanou, Mamiya: What if...
Kanou: Hm?
Mamiya: No... Kanou: What? 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...
Mamiya: Now, I don't know how human resources issues are handled for an organization under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice like Third-i... Mamiya: but what if... Mamiya: Kanou, what if...
SFX: Wind
19
Mamiya: There was a traitor... Mamiya: higher up in the Ministry of Justice?
SFX: Grab
Kanou: Don't be ridiculous!! Mamiya: Think about it, Kanou!! Mamiya: It explains this situation, too! Mamiya: How did so many terrorists infiltrate this tower despite the strict security!?
Makimura: Calm down! Makimura: Please just calm down! SFX: Struggle Kurata: Mamiya-san, you too! Getting into a fight here does no one any good! Kurata: We need to continue with the mission!
20
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! Kanou: Let's meet up with Sakaki's team on the new route... Kanou(thought): But...
Kanou(thought): Where did this... Kanou(thought): "large power"... Kanou: and rescue those hostages!! Makimura: Yes, sir! Kanou(thought): come from!?? Text: The battle is in a state of utter chaos!!

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... Kujou: said he was going to fight?
04
SFX: Step forward Man: Hey. Man: Who is that girl?
Otoya: Not good! Otoya: If I speak in front of grandfather... SFX: Heartbeat Otoya: he'll recognize my voice!!
Hibiki: She's the prime minister's grandson's date. Hibiki: The Storyteller ordered us to find her. Man: Oh. Man: She's the one from the report.
SFX: Push Haruka: Kyah!
05
Hibiki: For now, let's leave her with Kujou. Hibiki: Let's go. SFX: Step Hibiki: Our mission is to clean up all the remaining Third-i and CraUns members.
Kujou: Haruka-chan. Kujou: Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
SFX: Smile Kujou: Don't worry about Otoya either. Kujou: I'm sure... Kujou: he's fine too.
Haruka: Y- Haruka: Yes... Haruka: His grandfather is... Haruka: the same as ever. Haruka: He's so splendid and kind.
Haruka: Is he really... Haruka: the one behind all the terrorists?

Sawakita: And... Tsukamoto: Sakaki-san's team is fine!! Tsukamoto: I just received word from them!
Tsukamoto: Same with Kaidou-san! Tsukamoto: He is currently taking action alongside Investigators Yoshikawa and Akiyama!

SFX: Beep SFX: Type type Sawakita: Incoming transmission.
SFX: Ksshh 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?
