[00:34] ---
Archbishop!
[00:36] ---
I told you...
[00:37] ---
...call me not by that name.
[00:41] ---
In a place like this, without an escort?
[00:44] ---
If you wish to speak, can we
not do it at St. George's Cathedral?
[00:48] ---
I shall not e'er be confined
within that old minster.
[00:53] ---
We shall speak as we walk.
[00:56] ---
Well, I suppose that will do.
[00:59] ---
Such a wee lad, are you, Stiyl?
[01:01] ---
Or perchance you cannot indulge
yourself to walk alongside me?
[01:07] ---
Laura Stuart, may I ask you a question?
[01:10] ---
How rigid of you. What is it?
[01:12] ---
Why is it that you speak in
such a ridiculous manner as you do?
[01:18] ---
Eh?
[01:20] ---
Uh, huh? Is it strange?
[01:23] ---
I even went and checked
with an actual Japanese person!
[01:26] ---
And who exactly would that be?
[01:29] ---
Someone named Tsuchimikado Motoharu.
[01:32] ---
Please, don't take him to
be a standard Japanese person.
[01:43] ---
A communications talisman?
[01:45] ---
You know of the name
"The Book of the Law" right?
[01:48] ---
The grimoire name?
Its author, as I recall,
[01:52] ---
is Edward Alexander.
The original text is said to be
[01:55] ---
in the Roman Orthodox
Church's Vatican Library.
[01:59] ---
However, it is said
that no one can decipher it.
[02:02] ---
Not even the List of Prohibited Books,
[02:05] ---
who has memorized the 103,000 volumes.
[02:08] ---
What if someone who can decipher
"The Book of the Law" came forward?
[02:12] ---
What?!
[02:16] ---
Shh!
[02:18] ---
This person is said to be a Roman
Orthodox nun, named Orsola Aquinas.
[02:24] ---
You mean, "The Book of the Law"
[02:26] ---
has become an instrument
in the power struggle?
[02:27] ---
It's all right. Not yet, at least.
[02:33] ---
"The Book of the Law" and Orsola Aquinas--
[02:36] ---
the two of them have reportedly
been made off with together.
[02:40] ---
Shall we discuss the matter
in greater detail inside?

"#02 The Book of the Law"
[04:19] ---
Second term is a busy one.
[04:22] ---
With the Daihasei Festival,
the Ichihanaran Festival,
[04:25] ---
the Arts Appreciation Festival,
and the Field Trip Festival,
[04:27] ---
it's a festival-apalooza, you know?
[04:31] ---
Ah! Sphinx, are you okay?
[04:34] ---
Still, I've got nothing to do!
I'm bored! It's no fun!
[04:37] ---
Toma doesn't ever play with me!
[04:40] ---
Kamijo Toma must have
Kamijo Toma's own reasons.
[04:44] ---
It's not as though he's tied up
with school because he wants to be.
[04:49] ---
Maika, how come *you're
*not tied up with school?
[04:54] ---
I'm the exception.
[04:56] ---
The fundamentals of a maid's
studies are practical, after all.
[05:00] ---
Well, I'll become a maid, too!
[05:03] ---
Then maybe I'll go visit Toma's class.
[05:07] ---
Hmm... a maid has a tough road to follow.
[05:10] ---
It's too hard for a girl who
has zero housekeeping skills.
[05:15] ---
Ah! Then, I'll make Toma a maid!
[05:20] ---
Then, maybe I'll have Toma come visit!
[05:23] ---
You'd be kind not to say
what you just said to Kamijo Toma.
[05:30] ---
Mm-hmm, you're right.
[05:36] ---
I'm sorry,
[05:39] ---
but there's no time
for you to become a maid,
[05:41] ---
nor for you to make him a maid.
[05:47] ---
"The Daihasei Festival is coming soon"
[05:49] ---
"The Daihasei Festival--
[05:51] ---
a giant field day that all of
Academy City's schools take part in.
[05:55] ---
Its purpose is to observe the
large-scale interaction of espers.
[06:00] ---
It is the one day that the
full-strength use of abilities is urged."
[06:12] ---
I, Kamijo Toma,
[06:14] ---
have lost my memories
due to certain circumstances...
[06:18] ---
...and I do not even remember
an event as big as this one.
[06:35] ---
Now then,
[06:36] ---
what should we have for dinner?
[06:38] ---
K-K-Kamijo Toma!
[06:46] ---
It's an emergency!
[06:48] ---
The silver-haired Sister
has been taken away by someone!
[06:52] ---
Huh?
[06:52] ---
I'm telling you, kidnapping! Abduction!
[06:56] ---
Just a second. What do you mean?
[06:58] ---
The kidnapper gave me
this for when you came home.
[07:05] ---
"Kamijo Toma...
[07:07] ---
...If you value her life,
[07:10] ---
come to the site of the abandoned
playhouse "Twilight Theater"
[07:12] ---
outside of Academy City
tonight at 7:00. Come alone."
[07:17] ---
So then, tell me what
this dumbass looked like.
[07:20] ---
Uh... first of all,
he was over 180cm tall.
[07:24] ---
His hair was a deep red, and he
had a barcode under his right eye.
[07:29] ---
He had a cigarette in his mouth,
and lots of piercings in his ears.
[07:32] ---
Uh, it's okay, Maika.
[07:34] ---
This criminal is someone
Index and I both know.
[07:36] ---
The criminal is someone you know?!
[07:38] ---
Is love gone wrong the motive?!
[07:41] ---
Uh, no... not the way you mean.
[07:46] ---
"Exit Pass"
[07:48] ---
An exit... pass?
[07:53] ---
I believe you understand
the situation now.
[07:57] ---
Mm-hmm. "The Book of the Law"
has been taken away by someone,
[08:01] ---
and the one who can decipher it,
Orsola Aquinas, has been taken, too.
[08:06] ---
The culprit appears
to be the Amakusa Church.
[08:12] ---
How did they get it out of
the drum-tight Vatican Library?
[08:17] ---
The Roman Orthodox Church
was moving the Book of the Law
[08:20] ---
to a museum in Japan.
[08:22] ---
This is absurd!
Something as dangerous as that?!
[08:26] ---
So, is the Roman Orthodox
Church sounding out
[08:29] ---
the English Puritan Church for assistance?
[08:32] ---
No. More importantly,
something unpleasant has come up.
[08:36] ---
What is it?
[08:39] ---
We cannot reach Kanzaki Kaori.
[08:43] ---
Kanzaki was once the
head of the Amakusa Church.
[08:47] ---
If she finds out that Amakusa
[08:48] ---
is at odds with the
Roman Orthodox Church...
[08:51] ---
I would like to have this resolved
before Kanzaki steps in it.
[08:57] ---
I do not care what methods you use.
[09:01] ---
Kanzaki is one of not even
twenty saints in the whole world.
[09:07] ---
You don't mean,
[09:08] ---
you want me to fight Kanzaki?
[09:10] ---
If the situation calls for it.
[09:13] ---
Go contact Academy City for me.
[09:18] ---
Stiyl, take this with you.
[09:26] ---
What is this?
[09:27] ---
I suppose you might call it
a modest little gift for Orsola.
[09:34] ---
The List of Prohibited Books...
[09:37] ---
We're going to need a specialist, right?
[09:44] ---
Why are you dragging Toma into this?
[09:47] ---
I don't know. Why should
I have to deal with that guy?
[09:51] ---
So then, are we going to
the Amakusa's main headquarters?
[09:54] ---
No, the situation has changed somewhat.
[10:08] ---
Damn...
[10:10] ---
Where is this "Twilight Theater"?
[10:15] ---
I don't know anywhere
outside of Academy City.
[10:24] ---
A Sister...?
[10:27] ---
She couldn't be someone
who knows Index, could she?
[10:32] ---
Pardon me...
[10:34] ---
Yes? What is it?
[10:36] ---
Is this the right bus to get
on if I'm headed to Academy City?
[10:42] ---
Academy City?
[10:43] ---
No, there are no buses
going to Academy City.
[10:47] ---
Huh?
[10:48] ---
And not just buses.
[10:50] ---
All modes of transportation
from outside have been discontinued.
[10:52] ---
There's a gate over there,
so if you'll walk over to it...
[10:59] ---
Thank you for taking
the trouble to help me out.
[11:02] ---
I said not to get on the bus!
[11:04] ---
Oh, right. So you did.
[11:08] ---
Like I said, walk over there
and go in through the gate. Got it?
[11:13] ---
I am sorry to have bothered you.
[11:16] ---
Y-Yeah... Huh?
[11:19] ---
Hey, you! You just smiled at
me and pretended to listen, huh?!
[11:29] ---
You look like there
is something upsetting you.
[11:33] ---
Oh, no, it's nothing.
[11:38] ---
Pardon me for saying so,
but you are sweating an awful lot.
[11:43] ---
Th-Thank you! B-By the way,
why do you want to go to Academy City?
[11:51] ---
Well, as it happens, I...
[11:55] ---
...am being pursued.
[11:57] ---
Huh? Pursued?
[12:01] ---
The situation is a mess.
[12:04] ---
Our information is
becoming snarled, too.
[12:06] ---
We don't even know whether or
not the Book of the Law is secure.
[12:10] ---
I should introduce myself first.
[12:12] ---
I am Agnese Sanctis,
of the Roman Orthodox Church.
[12:17] ---
Indeed. So, how is the
Amakusa group proceeding?
[12:23] ---
Actually, we haven't
precisely analyzed it ourselves.
[12:27] ---
One of Amakusa's distinctive
features is their secrecy.
[12:31] ---
Amakusa doesn't use overt
incantations or magical arrays.
[12:35] ---
All of their rituals and processes
[12:37] ---
are concealed within
normal mannerisms or behaviors,
[12:41] ---
so not even a professional
magician can tell who they are.
[12:47] ---
Hmph, troublesome bunch.
[12:49] ---
Ah, it's Toma!
[12:55] ---
Orsola Aquinas?!
[12:55] ---
"A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:00] ---
"A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:04] ---
What's the big idea?!
[13:05] ---
Why did you pretend to kidnap her?
[13:08] ---
Oh, the secret's out?
[13:11] ---
You see, we needed your help to
find someone who has gone missing.
[13:15] ---
Find someone?
[13:16] ---
Yeah, it's all right, it's all right.
[13:19] ---
If you'll just turn the Sister
standing next to you over to us...
[13:23] ---
Huh?
[13:24] ---
You see...
[13:26] ---
...that Sister there is our
missing person, Orsola Aquinas.
[13:31] ---
Right then, good work.
You're free to go now.
[13:36] ---
Um, what do I get for
walking around out in the sun?
[13:41] ---
I told you, you did good work, didn't I?
[13:43] ---
What, do you want me to buy
you a shaved ice, or something?
[13:47] ---
Look, up to now,
[13:49] ---
I've tried to get along with you,
even knowing we don't hit it off.
[13:54] ---
Yeah, right up until this moment!
[13:58] ---
By any chance, are you
asking for more attention?
[14:01] ---
Unfortunately, I can't soothe
your loneliness, nor do I want to.
[14:06] ---
Now turn over Orsola to Agnese at once.
[14:10] ---
Come to think of it, you said you
were being pursued by someone.
[14:14] ---
What's the matter, Orsola?
[14:16] ---
Oh, no, I can't have you
handing her over so easily.
[14:21] ---
Orsola Aquinas,
[14:23] ---
rather than returning to
the Roman Orthodox Church,
[14:26] ---
you will live a more meaningful
life with us among the Amakusa.
[14:31] ---
Amakusa?!
[14:35] ---
Orsola!
[14:37] ---
You can't, Toma!
[14:41] ---
In my hand, flame.
[14:44] ---
Its form, a sword. Its purpose...
[14:49] ---
Looks like I'm too late.
[14:57] ---
Hey, Stiyl, you're going to
explain all this from the top, right?
[15:01] ---
An explanation?
[15:03] ---
That's something I wish I had.
[15:10] ---
"Theater of the Arts"
"Twilight Theater"
[15:11] ---
The Book of the Law
[15:13] ---
is a grimoire written in a code
that no one in the world can break.
[15:17] ---
It's said that if it ever were deciphered,
[15:20] ---
one could obtain absolute power.
[15:23] ---
Tell me...
[15:25] ---
...is it really all that valuable?
[15:27] ---
They even say that if it is ever used,
[15:29] ---
it would mean the end of the world
[15:32] ---
ruled by the church of the cross as it is now.
[15:34] ---
Why not just burn the book?
[15:36] ---
Grimoires are books that cannot be burned.
[15:39] ---
It's all that can be done
just to keep them sealed.
[15:48] ---
Oh, um... I'd like to
explain what is going on,
[15:53] ---
so if you're ready--
[15:57] ---
Toma!
[16:13] ---
Hey! No! Stop! Get away!
[16:16] ---
Toma!
[16:17] ---
I think that goes beyond mere teasing!
[16:21] ---
Stop getting frisky while we're working!
[16:26] ---
At present, Orsola Aquinas
is definitely in Amakusa hands.
[16:33] ---
It is estimated that the number
of Amakusa involved in this incident
[16:36] ---
is less than fifty.
[16:38] ---
There is also the possibility
that they are now above ground.
[16:41] ---
In other words,
we don't know anything, do we?
[16:44] ---
Going from the traces of
magical power left,
[16:46] ---
we are tracking
Amakusa's tendencies...
[16:49] ---
Amakusa is a group that
specializes in hiding and fleeing.
[16:53] ---
It will not be easy to catch them.
[16:55] ---
Still, there is no way
they can break out of our net.
[16:59] ---
Their specialized transfer technique,
[17:01] ---
"Microcosmic Pilgrimage."
[17:04] ---
It's a process that is limited
to use within Japan, though.
[17:07] ---
Put simply, using map magic,
[17:09] ---
there are forty-seven specialized
vortices across Japan,
[17:12] ---
and they can freely
come and go between them.
[17:16] ---
If they send her through
a vortex, it's all over.
[17:19] ---
What are we just standing around for?!
[17:21] ---
Because there is no need to hurry.
[17:23] ---
Huh?
[17:24] ---
Microcosmic Pilgrimages are greatly
affected by the movement of stars.
[17:29] ---
They can only use their
specialized movement at certain times.
[17:33] ---
The restriction on their
use of the transport technique
[17:36] ---
won't be lifted until just after midnight,
[17:38] ---
so we still have about four
and a half hours to work with.
[17:41] ---
Also... Toma, can I borrow
your gizmo with the map?
[17:45] ---
Oh, sure...
[17:50] ---
There.
[17:52] ---
There is only one vortex
they can use within our network.
[17:57] ---
Right here.
[18:04] ---
Well then...
[18:06] ---
...is there anything I can do to help?
[18:09] ---
And after I deliberately told you
[18:12] ---
to check and double-check!
[18:14] ---
Right, I'm sorry.
[18:16] ---
Looks like Sisters
have their troubles, too.
[18:23] ---
This must be Index's tent.
[18:27] ---
Huh? She's not here.
[18:29] ---
Geez, where did she go--
[18:33] ---
Over there?!
[18:35] ---
Damn it!
[18:37] ---
Index!
[18:39] ---
The Amakusa!
[18:46] ---
H-Hang on...
[18:48] ---
Over there, over there...
[18:53] ---
Oh, it's just a slug, isn't it?
[18:57] ---
A-A slug...?
[18:59] ---
H-Hey!
[19:00] ---
Get hold of yourself!
[19:02] ---
Toma?
[19:12] ---
N-No, I... was sure that the
Amakusa were attacking... and...
[19:24] ---
Eh?
[19:25] ---
H-Hold on! Take it easy, Index!
[19:32] ---
This isn't like you!
[19:35] ---
Normally, this isn't
what you'd do, right?
[19:38] ---
You usually just go ahead and...
[19:46] ---
Hey, Stiyl...
[19:49] ---
What? I'm extremely irritated right now.
[19:53] ---
Got any girls that you like?
[19:56] ---
Well, Stiyl?
[19:59] ---
I have respect
for Queen Elizabeth I,
[20:02] ---
and my taste in women
is along the lines of St. Martha.
[20:07] ---
The Amakusa Church is that one, right?
[20:10] ---
The one Kanzaki Kaori was in before?
[20:12] ---
Who told you that? Tsuchimikado?
[20:15] ---
If that's so, then the
Amakusa are friends of Kanzaki's right?
[20:20] ---
Even so, you're gonna fight them?
[20:24] ---
Yes, I am.
[20:26] ---
You see, I've made up my mind
to do anything to protect that girl.
[20:31] ---
As such, I will kill
anyone. I'll burn them alive.
[20:35] ---
And I'll keep burning up their corpse.
[20:38] ---
I swore that a long time ago.
[20:41] ---
Even supposing she
has forgotten everything,
[20:44] ---
I haven't forgotten a single thing.
[20:46] ---
"I will live and die for you."
[20:52] ---
Go to sleep now.
[21:02] ---
Stiyl?
[21:04] ---
No, it isn't, which means...
[21:07] ---
H-Hey, hold on, Index...!
[21:11] ---
What, Toma?
[21:14] ---
Huh? Agnese?!
[21:17] ---
Papa...
[21:18] ---
Papa?
[21:25] ---
It's a dream...
[21:27] ---
This is a dream, so no matter
how much I bite Toma, it's okay...
[21:32] ---
I can work out all of the
day's displeasures, and it's okay...!
[21:37] ---
J-Just a minute, Index.
This is without any doubt real life!
[21:42] ---
Just my luck!
[21:59] ---
Your Holiness...
[22:02] ---
All preparations for the
Microcosmic Pilgrimage are complete.
[22:06] ---
Now then...
[22:10] ---
Kanzaki Kaori,
let me show you something--
[22:14] ---
the current shape of
the multilateral compound
[22:19] ---
integrated church of
the cross, the Amakusa Church!
[22:25] ---

[23:55] ---
We head to the vortex, together with the Roman Orthodox Church.
[23:58] ---
After a fierce fight,
Tatemiya Saiji reveals a bombshell truth.
[24:02] ---
And as for Orsola...
[24:04] ---
Next time, "The Amakusa Church."
[24:06] ---
When science and magic cross
paths, the story begins.
