    I'm okay with being a monster.\n
[00:41] ---
    It's because I'm a monster that I didn't die,\n
[00:44] ---
    even after all the pounding\nthat stone creature gave me.\n
[00:47] ---
    It's because I'm a monster that\nI can stand up to that stone creature.\n
[00:53] ---
    I will protect those who\nare dear to me with my power.\n
[00:57] ---
    That's why I'm... glad to be a monster.\n
[01:02] ---
    Damn! I'm not about to let it end!\n
[01:05] ---
    Kazaki--\n
[01:06] ---
    Kazakiri!!\n
[01:09] ---
    I'm not going to let it end\nin such a senseless outcome!\n

    If you're looking for Ellis, I sent him on ahead.\n
[03:07] ---
    I'll bet he's arriving\nat his target right about now.\n
[03:12] ---
    Or maybe, he's turned into flesh and blood by now.\n
[03:17] ---
    Why, you...!\n
[03:19] ---
    That's good. You stay here and face me.\n
[03:23] ---
    I let that girl go by.\n
[03:25] ---
    Do you mean Kazakiri?!\n
[03:27] ---
    You seem to be able to bring down Ellis, and all.\n
[03:30] ---
    To start a war.\n
[03:32] ---
    What the hell are you thinking?\n
[03:36] ---
    Right now, science and magic\nare both evenly balanced, right?\n
[03:39] ---
    So why are you doing this?!\n
[03:41] ---
    When espers use magic,\nit destroys their bodies.\n
[03:46] ---
    I wonder if you've ever heard that.\n
[03:48] ---
    What?\n
[03:49] ---
    Didn't you think it was strange,\nhow anyone would know about that?\n
[03:55] ---
    They attempted it. About twenty years ago,\n
[03:59] ---
    a movement was born among one of our posts\n
[04:02] ---
    to have science and magic join hands.\n
[04:05] ---
    It tried to give rise to a new crafter,\n
[04:07] ---
    one who combine their abilities with magic.\n
[04:11] ---
    The result...\n
[04:14] ---
    Ellis was my friend.\n
[04:17] ---
    Ellis was an esper who\nhad been brought to Academy City\n
[04:20] ---
    by one of the factions at the time.\n
[04:25] ---
    Thanks to the spells that I taught\nhim, Ellis became a bloody mess.\n
[04:30] ---
    While trying to allow me\nto escape from the knights\n
[04:33] ---
    who came to bring down the facility,\n
[04:35] ---
    Ellis was struck by a mace, and died.\n
[04:39] ---
    We should remain segregated!\n
[04:42] ---
    Magicians with magicians,\nand scientists with scientists.\n
[04:46] ---
    If we each don't establish our own domains,\n
[04:48] ---
    the same thing will happen, again and again!\n
[04:51] ---
    Damn it, it sounds like we're\nnot talking about the same thing.\n
[04:54] ---
    If the point is to protect one other,\nwhat good is starting a war?!\n
[04:58] ---
    No, you don't actually want to, do you?\n
[05:03] ---
    For you to accomplish your objective,\n
[05:05] ---
    just causing a situation where war almost breaks out is good enough.
[05:09] ---
    Don't give yourself too much credit, you little punk!\n
[05:12] ---
    How dare you give me that "poor you" look!\n
[05:17] ---
    The ground is my ally.\n
[05:19] ---
    As such, down here in the darkness,\nenclosed under the ground,\n
[05:22] ---
    is my territory!\n
[05:24] ---
    It can't be!\n
[05:25] ---
    Is she planning to bring the whole tunnel down?!\n
[05:26] ---
    Let it all crumble!\nJust like a man made of mud!\n
[05:29] ---
    Damn, what do I do?!\n
[05:31] ---
    Then do you know something, Toma?\n
[05:33] ---
    When performing a spell,\nif the direction and position of the caster\n
[05:37] ---
    are off by even a little bit, it doesn't take effect.\n
[05:40] ---
    Do you know what the golden ratio is?
[05:43] ---
    --That's it!\n
[05:44] ---
    --Swallow up the fool! Mix him in under the mud!\n--That's it!\n
[05:47] ---
    The magic circles on the walls\nand ceiling are there to bury me alive.\n
[05:51] ---
    And I will flesh out your body!\n
[05:55] ---
    If so, there's no need to\ndraw magic circles on the ground!\n
[05:59] ---
    If that's true, then this magic circle\n
[06:01] ---
    is there to protect her!\n
[06:04] ---
    What?!\n
[06:08] ---
    It's stopped?\n
[06:24] ---
    Damn.\n
[06:26] ---
    Damn it all.\n
[06:30] ---
    I have to... create a flashpoint... for a war...\n
[06:35] ---
    Academy City's guard has grown lax.\n
[06:39] ---
    Even the English Puritan Church\nhas been presumptuous enough \n
[06:42] ---
    to allow their grimoire index be kept elsewhere.\n
[06:45] ---
    The situation is the\nsame as it was with Ellis.\n
[06:49] ---
    Such tragedy came out of that incident.\n
[06:53] ---
    If this happens on a scale\ninvolving all of Academy City\n
[06:55] ---
    and the English Puritan Church...\n
[06:57] ---
    What rubbish.\n
[07:00] ---
    It's okay to be angry. Even sorrowful.\n
[07:03] ---
    But even so,\n
[07:04] ---
    what has Kazakiri done?!\nDid Index do anything to you?!\n
[07:09] ---
    Once you turn the\nbrunt of this onto someone else,\n
[07:11] ---
    that's when the real conflict erupts!\n
[07:14] ---
    You don't get it.\n
[07:16] ---
    Damn it, I'd like to kill all of\nthe sorcerers and the scientists.\n
[07:21] ---
    But it's more than just that!\nI also don't really want to make\n
[07:24] ---
    the sorcerers and the\nespers fight with each other!\n
[07:29] ---
    My head has been screwed up\nabout this from the start.\n
[07:34] ---
    I don't just have one conviction here;\n
[07:36] ---
    They're as numerous as the stars.\n
[07:40] ---
    Why haven't you figured it out?\n
[07:42] ---
    That conviction you have inside you\n
[07:44] ---
    has always been a single one,\nright from the start?\n
[07:47] ---
    Ultimately, you just wanted\nnot to lose your dear friend, right?\n
[07:54] ---
    Did it look to you\n
[07:56] ---
    like I was reluctantly\nforced into being stuck with Index?\n
[07:59] ---
    Did it look like we would break out in fighting\n
[08:02] ---
    if we weren't segregated into our own territories?\n
[08:04] ---
    We could go on being together forever\n
[08:06] ---
    without doing anything like that!\n
[08:09] ---
    So don't take my dear friend away from me!\n
[08:13] ---
    Intimus 115!\n
[08:15] ---
    What?!\n
[08:20] ---
    Oh, so that's it.\n
[08:22] ---
    Saying you having convictions\nthat number as the stars...\n
[08:25] ---
    Die, you esper!\n
[08:27] ---
    ...means that you're aware...\n
[08:31] ---
    ...that somewhere inside you, you feel...\n
[08:38] ---
    That you want to be stopped!\n
[08:49] ---
    This isn't good. He switched\nfrom remote control to self-control!\n
[08:53] ---
    I can't intercept anymore!\n
[08:55] ---
    Nothing... can reach... Ellis... anymore...\n
[09:03] ---
    Ellis...\n
[09:07] ---
    Kazakiri... Index...!\n
[09:15] ---
    Toma...\n
[09:35] ---
    Hyoka?!\n
[09:43] ---
    Hyoka...\n
[09:45] ---
    Run.\n
[09:47] ---
    Hurry and run away.\nIt's still too dangerous here.\n
[10:12] ---
    The golem is out of control. \n
[10:14] ---
    He may not be able to\ncontrol his regenerative functions.\n
[10:22] ---
    Hyoka, let's hurry and get out of here!\n
[10:24] ---
    You hurry up and go.\n
[10:26] ---
    "You hurry up"? What are you doing, Hyoka?
[10:29] ---
    I... have to stop that monster.\n
[10:32] ---
    You can't! You can't think\nthat you can fight that monster!\n
[10:37] ---
    If you do that, Hyoka,\nthere's no way you'll survive!\n
[10:41] ---
    It's all right. I'm not human, either.\n
[10:47] ---
    I'm sorry to have kept it from you up to now.\n
[10:52] ---
    Hyoka!\n
[11:13] ---
    To fight a monster, you need another monster.\n
[11:17] ---
    I can't ever go back there anymore.\n
[11:20] ---
    That time will never return.\n
[11:27] ---
    Which is why...\n
[11:28] ---
    Which is why there's no way I can cast it aside!\n
[11:32] ---
    Hyoka!\n
[11:35] ---
    After all, you're my friend!\n
[11:37] ---
    Kazakiri!!\n
[11:43] ---
    Toma!\n
[11:45] ---
    I told you,\n
[11:47] ---
    I was going to show you\nthat there is still redemption\n
[11:51] ---
    in this world in which you live!\n
[12:04] ---
    It's over.\n
[12:06] ---
    And now, my fond illusion comes to an end.\n
[12:28] ---
    Whew, what a mess.\n
[12:31] ---
    What is all this?\n
[12:35] ---
    Don't tell me this is your doing, too.\n
[12:38] ---
    I know this happens every time,\n
[12:41] ---
    but just how much trouble are you caught up in?\n
[12:57] ---
    What's wrong?\n
[12:59] ---
    Oh, Sissy, here's where you are-- eh?!\n
[13:04] ---
    Don't tell me you did this, Sissy!
[13:08] ---
    Eh? N-No, I didn't!\n
[13:11] ---
    Before too long,\nAntiskill or Judgment will show up here.\n
[13:15] ---
    Let's get out of here before there's any trouble.\n
[13:18] ---
    I told you, it's not like that--\n
[13:43] ---
    I knew what would happen from the beginning.\n
[13:46] ---
    Anyone would have known, wouldn't they?\n
[13:49] ---
    What would happen once it\nwas found out that I was a monster?\n
[13:56] ---
    I didn't want this, either, you know.\n
[13:59] ---
    But I didn't have any choice, did I?\n
[14:02] ---
    She's my friend-- the first person\nin my life who called me her friend,\n
[14:07] ---
    and I wanted to save her.\n
[14:13] ---
    Why do I have to lose her now?\n
[14:18] ---
    Why does she have to be afraid of me?\n
[14:23] ---
    I-I... I... just couldn't bear\nto have my dear friend get hurt!\n
[14:33] ---
    So all I did was stand up to that thing!\n
[14:36] ---
    I wanted us to be together always!\n
[14:39] ---
    I was sure that we would get along! But...\n
[14:44] ---
    obviously, that's impossible now, isn't it?\n
[14:47] ---
    Even if she would be\nafraid of me, and dislike me,\n
[14:50] ---
    there's no way I could have\nstood by and let her die, right?\n
[14:58] ---
    Does it hurt?\n
[15:01] ---
    Are you sad?\n
[15:06] ---
    If that's how you feel, then you are no monster.\n
[15:15] ---
    It may be a hackneyed, clichéd thing to say,\n
[15:18] ---
    but you are human. I guarantee it.\n
[15:22] ---
    And another thing,\n
[15:24] ---
    your illusion is not over yet.\n
[15:33] ---
    Huh?\n
[15:40] ---
    But why? This isn’t normal, is it?\n
[15:48] ---
    I-I'm not human. \n
[15:52] ---
    So why is she looking at me,\n
[15:55] ---
    and making the kind of\nface a friend would make?\n
[16:01] ---
    Sure, your body may be \n
[16:03] ---
    put together a little\ndifferently from other people, \n
[16:06] ---
    and you can do things that\nother people can't, but even so...\n
[16:11] ---
    Hyoka!\n
[16:17] ---
    ...it doesn't change the fact\nthat you are Index's friend, does it?\n
[16:26] ---
    Are you happy now?\n
[16:29] ---
    You are now even closer to\nthe completion of a key to controlling\n
[16:32] ---
    the Imaginary Number School\nDistrict's Five-Element Agency.\n
[16:37] ---
    Honestly, you look like a monster to me.\n
[16:40] ---
    Who would dream that the\nImaginary Number School District\n
[16:43] ---
    is actually an AIM diffusion field?\nNo one would ever think that.\n
[16:48] ---
    And to plant a sense of self\ninto it and help it to materialize\n
[16:52] ---
    is not what I'd consider a sane act.\n
[16:55] ---
    What are you thinking, Aleister?!\n
[16:59] ---
    Hold on.\nThe Imaginary Number School District\n
[17:01] ---
    is an aggregation of a kind of power\n
[17:04] ---
    that exists in a different phase from humanity.\n
[17:06] ---
    A life form that is formed as a result of it...\n
[17:10] ---
    I know what such a being is...\n
[17:15] ---
    An angel.\n
[17:17] ---
    If residents of the Imaginary Number School District,\n
[17:19] ---
    like Kazakiri, are described as angels,\n
[17:22] ---
    then the city where they reside would then be...\n
[17:27] ---
    Don't tell me you're trying\nto create an artificial heaven!\n
[17:32] ---
    I don't know what to say\nabout angels and heaven and such.\n
[17:36] ---
    Don't give me that. \n
[17:37] ---
    There isn't anyone who\nknows more about it than you do,\n
[17:41] ---
    Aleister Crowley, the Sorcerer.\n
[17:46] ---
    This incident has gradually started\nto send the world off the rails.\n
[17:50] ---
    You've intentionally lured a member\n
[17:52] ---
    of the English Puritan Church to\nthe city, then got rid of her.\n
[17:59] ---
    I don't get whatever it\nis you're thinking. However,\n
[18:03] ---
    if you're going to keep using\nthe Imagine Breaker, be prepared.\n
[18:08] ---
    If you go up against him\nwith half-hearted conviction,\n
[18:10] ---
    that right hand of\nhis will devour your world.\n
[18:16] ---
    The world that I believed\nin fell apart a very long time ago.\n
[18:25] ---
    Here, look at me!\n
[18:27] ---
    This time, I didn't even\nhave to be admitted, did I?\n
[18:29] ---
    Wow, am I awesome! That's a\nmark of a little bit of progress, huh?\n
[18:34] ---
    Isn't that right?\n
[18:36] ---
    Kamijo, you know something,\nyou really, really, really...!\n
[18:40] ---
    Don't you have any idea of\nthe trouble you cause for others?!\n
[18:44] ---
    For heaven's sake, for you to\nhave to have Antiskill look after you...\n
[18:49] ---
    Like I said, watch out for Kazakiri Hyoka.\n
[18:52] ---
    After all the warning I gave you, too...\n
[18:55] ---
    You should really have that personality,\nwhich makes you reckless\n
[18:58] ---
    when you get to know girls,\nthoroughly remedied sometime.\n
[19:02] ---
    Um, I'm sort of terrified\nby the two people behind me.\n
[19:05] ---
    Are you sure I can't check myself in?\n
[19:07] ---
    Perhaps with doctor's orders for\npeace and quiet, with no visitors?\n
[19:12] ---
    U-Um, your skirt...\n
[19:16] ---
    Aren't you going to fix it?\n
[19:18] ---
    Is it that weird?\n
[19:20] ---
    I-It is weird. It's very weird.\n
[19:25] ---
    It was strange enough as it was,\nbut now, it's even more strange.\n
[19:30] ---
    As it was?
[19:35] ---
    Hyoka, are you...?\n
[19:38] ---
    M-Mm-hmm. My body is\nlike a big mass of psychic energy.\n
[19:45] ---
    No matter what I do,\n
[19:47] ---
    it won't change the fact\nthat I'm an unstable being.\n
[19:51] ---
    Does that, by any chance,\nhave to do with Toma's right hand?\n
[19:54] ---
    Mm-mm.\n
[19:56] ---
    If I had received some of his power,\n
[19:58] ---
    I'd have already vanished without a trace.\n
[20:04] ---
    Oh, yeah...\n
[20:05] ---
    About his power-- I don't\nunderstand it too well myself,\n
[20:12] ---
    but it can't be explained as just esper ability.\n
[20:18] ---
    Now then...\n
[20:21] ---
    Hyoka...?\n
[20:26] ---
    I have to go back now.\n
[20:30] ---
    Hyoka!\n
[20:39] ---
    It's okay, don't worry. My body is\nmade up of the powers of many people.\n
[20:47] ---
    Even if I do disappear for a time,\n
[20:49] ---
    it's not as though I am dying. \n
[20:52] ---
    It just means you won't be able to see me.\n
[20:55] ---
    And even though you might not\nknow it, I will always be by your side.\n
[21:04] ---
    Hyoka...\n
[21:09] ---
    We'll play together again, right?\n
[21:13] ---
    Of course.\n
[21:22] ---
    "Good luck getting ready for the Daihasei Festival!"\n
[21:23] ---
    "Good luck getting ready for the Daihasei Festival!"\nWell you see, I'm really busy during the second term.\n
[21:24] ---
    \nWell you see, I'm really busy during the second term.\n
[21:25] ---
    *In the casual present *Well you see, I'm really busy during the second term.

    *I press through the voices, *Is this moe, too?
[21:44] ---

    *I press through the voices, *let's get homeroom started right away.
