[00:35] ---
    We located the main Amakusa
    force in Parallel Sweets Park.
[00:40] ---
    However, we were unable to find
    the Book of the Law, or Orsola.
[00:44] ---
    You don't think that Orsola has been...
[00:48] ---
    The Amakusa's first objective
[00:50] ---
    is to have Orsola tell them how
    to decipher the Book of the Law.
[00:53] ---
    As long as they are fixated
    on the Book of the Law,
[00:56] ---
    Orsola will conversely be safe.
[00:58] ---
    Okay.
[01:00] ---
    We will act as a decoy,
    and charge the Amakusa head-on.
[01:04] ---
    Meanwhile, you will
    search inside the park,
[01:07] ---
    and if you're able to identify
    the Book of the Law or Orsola,
[01:10] ---
    please take them into custody.
[01:12] ---
    Unless we destroy the vortex
    for their special transport method,
[01:15] ---
    they may be able
    to get away with Orsola.
[01:17] ---
    We cannot destroy the vortex
    itself until it opens at 00:00 hours.
[01:22] ---
    The vortex's effective time,
    which is to say, our time limit,
[01:25] ---
    is only five minutes, right?
[01:27] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[01:28] ---
    If 00:05 hours passes,
    and you haven't found them,
[01:31] ---
    please get out of there.
[01:33] ---
    After we have neutralized the Amakusa,
[01:36] ---
    we will personally search the park ourselves.
[01:39] ---
    Searching for the Book of the Law,
    Orsola, and destroying the vortex...
[01:44] ---
    Sounds like we'll be
    on quite a tight schedule.
[02:01] ---
    This is unforgivable.
[02:03] ---
    The church of the
    cross's original purpose
[02:06] ---
    was to help others,
    and that is how it spread.
[02:09] ---
    But to turn that around, and use
    force to do something like this...
[02:34] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[02:38] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[02:43] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[02:47] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[02:53] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[02:58] ---
    But the angel continued to smile in discernment
[03:09] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand

[03:14] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe

[03:19] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[03:25] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)

[03:32] ---
    No buts!
[03:52] ---
    Hey, Stiyl...
[03:54] ---
    What?
[03:55] ---
    Do you think we can really finish
    our whole job in the time we have?
[04:00] ---
    Honestly, it will be tight.
[04:04] ---
    The truth is, there's one piece
    of information that I did not give
[04:06] ---
    to the Roman Orthodox Church.
[04:08] ---
    Huh?
[04:10] ---
    Kanzaki Kaori is supposed to
    be in England, but she vanished.
[04:13] ---
    Kanzaki?
[04:15] ---
    She's probably acting out of concern
[04:17] ---
    for her one-time subordinates--
    I mean, colleagues.
[04:20] ---
    If Amakusa is trying
    to inflict critical damage,
[04:24] ---
    that saint of theirs
    may come attacking.
[04:27] ---
    So don't go believing we will
    successfully finish our whole job.
[04:30] ---
    Then...
[04:33] ---
    Then, Orsola is our top priority?
[04:37] ---
    It doesn't make any difference.
    Without someone to decode it,
[04:41] ---
    the Book of the Law
    is of no worldly use.
[04:44] ---
    I think that works, too.
[04:46] ---
    I've decided to barge in, too,
    even if you say I can't come, Toma.
[04:50] ---
    There's already so few of us as it is,
[04:52] ---
    so we're going to
    have to stick together, huh?
[04:55] ---
    All right.
[04:57] ---
    Thanks, man.
[04:59] ---
    Don't say anything
    so disgustingly dispiriting
[05:01] ---
    just before we charge in there!
[05:05] ---
    The diversion has begun.
[05:06] ---
    Let's go.
[05:19] ---
    Get down!
[05:27] ---
    Kamijo Toma!
[05:29] ---
    Take this!
[05:31] ---
    What is it?
[05:32] ---
    If you want to stay alive,
    carry that on your person!
[05:34] ---
    Huh? Whoa!
[05:36] ---
    Toma!
[05:44] ---
    Stiyl! Index!
[05:46] ---
    Wait, if we're running away,
[05:48] ---
    don't we usually need
    to decide on a signal first?
[05:51] ---
    What, have I ended
    up as the decoy again?!
[06:12] ---
    Why would Stiyl give me this?
[06:49] ---
    Are Index and Stiyl all right?
[06:52] ---
    Where on earth is Orsola?
[07:07] ---
    Orsola?
[07:14] ---
    Ah! You are the one
    I met at the bus stop.
[07:18] ---
    Why are you someplace
    as dangerous as this?
[07:21] ---
    Because I came
    to rescue you, of course.
[07:23] ---
    Huh? Um, are you really here to
    rescue a complete stranger like me?
[07:29] ---
    Yeah.
[07:31] ---
    Without any regard
    for the Book of the Law?
[07:33] ---
    I don't care what happens
    to that information.
[07:36] ---
    That is, do I look like
    the sort of curiosity seeker
[07:39] ---
    who would come to a place
    like this for some old book?
[07:42] ---
    Oh... then thank you for your kindness.
[07:47] ---
    Be that as it may,
    what are you doing here?
[07:50] ---
    Oh, yes...
[07:52] ---
    I took advantage of the confusion
    and managed to slip out somehow.
[07:57] ---
    Hmm...
[08:05] ---
    Th-Thank you very much.
    But how did you do that?
[08:11] ---
    Hmm, that's just
    the sort of ability I have...
[08:16] ---
    It will just complicate things,
    so I'll skip the awkward explanation.
[08:23] ---
    She couldn't have gotten far. Find her.
[08:31] ---
    It sounds like they're looking for you.
[08:33] ---
    Uh-huh.
[08:35] ---
    Word is that they can't use
    their special transport method
[08:38] ---
    before 12:05, so I guess we
    can hang out here until time is up.
[08:42] ---
    Oh my...
[08:47] ---
    You could catch
    yourself a summer cold.
[08:51] ---
    Oh, yeah...
[08:54] ---
    Incidentally, are you involved
    with the Roman Orthodox Church?
[08:58] ---
    Well, I do have a
    friend who's English Puritan.
[09:02] ---
    Then you are saying that
    you are not Roman Orthodox,
[09:05] ---
    but are tied to the
    English Puritans instead?
[09:08] ---
    N-No, I wouldn't say that.
[09:14] ---
    Yes, indeed. A gentleman such
    as yourself is obviously better off
[09:21] ---
    not being involved in
    the church world, like we are.
[09:25] ---
    Hmm... I guess I couldn't help
    but carry something like this, though.
[09:31] ---
    My! Did you get that
    from your English Puritan friend?
[09:35] ---
    Mm-hmm. You can
    hold onto it, if you'd like.
[09:38] ---
    I don't know what it's worth, myself.
[09:41] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[09:43] ---
    Yeah.
[09:46] ---
    I have just one favor to ask of you!
[09:48] ---
    W-What?
[09:50] ---
    Would you mind personally
    placing this around my neck?
[09:55] ---
    N-No, I don't mind.
[10:10] ---
    Whatever is the matter?
[10:12] ---
    N-Nothing at all.
[10:33] ---
    Come to think of it, I hear you know
    how to read the Book of the Law.
[10:38] ---
    Not so much how to read it as
    how to decipher its cryptography--
[10:43] ---
    Huh? Oh, no, no!
[10:45] ---
    I was just wondering why you
    were investigating the Book of the Law.
[10:49] ---
    It's a pretty dangerous book, right?
[10:53] ---
    It is because I wanted power.
    That much is without a doubt.
[10:58] ---
    But the power of a grimoire
    brings happiness to no one.
[11:03] ---
    The only thing it gives rise
    to is the conflict concerning it.
[11:10] ---
    As such, I wanted to investigate
    the grimoire's workings,
[11:13] ---
    so that I would know how to destroy it.
[11:23] ---
    Stiyl!
[11:25] ---
    What are you... doing...?
[11:27] ---
    Hurry... and get out of here...!
[11:33] ---
    What are you doing,
    English Puritan priest?
[11:38] ---
    Well? Where has your
    British gentleman's pride gone?
[11:42] ---
    Let me, Tatemiya Saiji, see it.
[11:44] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:50] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:53] ---
    That won't do. The way you fight,
[11:56] ---
    you can't even defend a single girl.
[12:06] ---
    You were protecting Index?
[12:08] ---
    Don't make too much out of it.
[12:11] ---
    Orsola Aquinas is
    in custody. And, like always,
[12:15] ---
    it's hard to judge whether
    your luck is a blessing or not.
[12:19] ---
    Like I've explained
    to you again and again,
[12:22] ---
    Orsola Aquinas, we have no
    intention of bringing harm to you.
[12:27] ---
    Indeed, I am aware that
    your words were filled with hope.
[12:33] ---
    I do not believe in
    a peace that is professed
[12:37] ---
    while weapons are being brandished.
[12:39] ---
    What a shame.
[12:41] ---
    You have little choice but to return
    to the Roman Orthodox Church.
[12:47] ---
    Hmph, unarmed, are you?
[12:50] ---
    Did you take that sword from Uragami?
[12:54] ---
    If you mean your subordinate,
    she's lying over there.
[12:57] ---
    The back of her head was
    protected, so she's not dead.
[13:00] ---
    Merely not being dead isn't enough.
    Are you mocking me?!
[13:06] ---
    If you're the sort of person who
    is still there fighting for someone,
[13:10] ---
    then would you put your sword away?
[13:12] ---
    If possible, I don't want to
    have to fight someone like you.
[13:16] ---
    I wish like crazy that I could do that.
[13:19] ---
    Our enemy is the Roman Orthodox
    Church, but if you have ties to them,
[13:25] ---
    then I cannot turn a blind
    eye to the English Puritans!
[13:28] ---
    Don't think it will be that easy.
[13:30] ---
    You're gonna make me unhappy,
    looking down at me like that, you know.
[13:34] ---
    But if we must fight,
    there's no other choice.
[13:38] ---
    Today is your last day to live!
[13:52] ---
    He vanished?!
[13:58] ---
    Magic, huh? In that case...
[13:59] ---
    No! You're wrong,
    Toma! It's not magic--
[14:03] ---
    Stay back, Index!
[14:05] ---
    Primordial flame, whose meaning
    is light, give me your sword,
[14:08] ---
    whose gentle warmth protects,
    and who bestows fierce judgment!
[14:15] ---
    He moved?! Then it is magic!
[14:20] ---
    Toma!
[14:25] ---
    Do it!
[14:27] ---
    Do it with me here, Stiyl!
[14:37] ---
    My basic antishock
    methods are already in place.
[14:40] ---
    All I need to be
    wary of is the flame sword.
[14:43] ---
    Now to compose my technique...
[15:26] ---
    Toma, Toma, are you all right?
[15:28] ---
    You're not hurt anywhere?
    Do you feel pain anywhere?
[15:31] ---
    No, not really.
[15:34] ---
    Really? Is it really nothing serious?
[15:36] ---
    I'm fine. I'm fine, I say!
[15:41] ---
    Okay, good.
[15:43] ---
    That means...
[15:44] ---
    Eh?
[15:45] ---
    Now I can bite your
    head as much as I like.
[15:52] ---
    --Just who do you think you are, Toma?!
    --Wait! Wait! All right!
[15:54] ---
    --Going after a genuine magician with a huge sword...
    --This time, I admit that I, Kamijo Toma,
[15:57] ---
    --Going after a genuine magician with a huge sword...
    --was wrong on all counts! Ee-yow!
[16:04] ---
    Toma, you idiot. You daredevil.
[16:06] ---
    U-Um, Miss Index...?
[16:10] ---
    It's quiet, huh?
[16:13] ---
    It's hard to believe that so many
    people are running wild, isn't it?
[16:17] ---
    You're right.
[16:18] ---
    Hey...
[16:19] ---
    I hate to ask, but could you take these off?
[16:23] ---
    I can't just leave her by herself like this.
[16:27] ---
    Huh? What are you saying?
[16:29] ---
    Tell me, do you know what kind of treatment
[16:32] ---
    she is going to get
    from them after this is over?
[16:35] ---
    Huh?
[16:36] ---
    No, Toma, don't listen to him.
    This man uses words as weapons.
[16:41] ---
    She's gonna be killed!
[16:45] ---
    Listen, do not turn her over
    to the Roman Orthodox Church.
[16:49] ---
    The Roman Orthodox Church's
    true purpose is to kill her, you know.
[16:53] ---
    You're the ones
    who carried Orsola off, right?
[16:56] ---
    Not to mention stole the Book of the Law!
[16:58] ---
    We did not steal the Book of the Law.
[17:01] ---
    Huh?
[17:03] ---
    If the power of the
    Book of the Law is used,
[17:05] ---
    the age of the church of the
    cross's rule will end that very day.
[17:10] ---
    As such, do you think
    we of the Amakusa church,
[17:14] ---
    who are specialists in remaining hidden,
[17:15] ---
    would want to obtain
    such a conspicuous power?
[17:19] ---
    The Roman Orthodox Church would.
[17:21] ---
    You wouldn't think that they,
[17:22] ---
    the largest sect of
    the church of the cross,
[17:24] ---
    would want the church of the
    cross to come to an end, would you?
[17:28] ---
    They have secretly decided
    to eliminate Orsola Aquinas.
[17:32] ---
    She also became aware of that,
    and came to the Amakusa for help.
[17:37] ---
    In other words,
    the Book of the Law being stolen
[17:40] ---
    is all just an act being put
    on by the Roman Orthodox Church.
[17:44] ---
    No. I still don't believe you.
[17:47] ---
    Why not?
[17:49] ---
    Supposing that everything
    you told me is true,
[17:52] ---
    then why did Orsola
    run away from you?
[18:01] ---
    You're the same.
[18:02] ---
    The same?
[18:04] ---
    Right up to the very end,
    she wasn't able to believe us, either.
[18:10] ---
    She said that we would seek the method
[18:12] ---
    of decoding the Book
    of the Law as a quid pro quo.
[18:15] ---
    Then, for what reason
    would you help Orsola?
[18:18] ---
    There is no reason.
[18:20] ---
    There was never one to begin with.
[18:23] ---
    There was no reason?
[18:26] ---
    We've gazed at the Priestess--
    at her for a long time now.
[18:32] ---
    Which is precisely why
    we haven't strayed from the path,
[18:35] ---
    haven't been mistaken in
    the use of our force,
[18:38] ---
    and have been led in the right direction.
[18:42] ---
    Priestess? You mean Kanzaki?
[18:44] ---
    Yeah. However,
[18:47] ---
    we have destroyed all of her ways.
[19:05] ---
    Our deaths--our immaturity
    grieved the Priestess.
[19:11] ---
    We must offer her a return to her place.
[19:17] ---
    That is why we extended our hand
    to Orsola Aquinas as she sought help.
[19:25] ---
    Or... sola...
[19:28] ---
    Did you say that
    you were entrusting her
[19:30] ---
    to the Roman Orthodox Church?
[19:32] ---
    Not being Roman Orthodox,
    she put her trust in you, didn't she?
[19:38] ---
    Damn!
[19:39] ---
    Don't be hasty!
[19:42] ---
    The Roman Orthodox Church
    cannot kill Orsola here and now.
[19:47] ---
    What?
[19:48] ---
    Given our situation,
    I will no longer ask
[19:52] ---
    whether or not you believe us.
[19:54] ---
    Promise me that you
    will take Orsola Aquinas
[19:57] ---
    back from the Roman Orthodox Church,
[19:59] ---
    and lead her someplace where
    neither they nor we can reach her.
[20:12] ---
    We are here to take charge of
    the heretic mastermind.
[20:16] ---
    Are you the enemy of God?
[20:19] ---
    Hey, just a second.
[20:22] ---
    What is it?
[20:23] ---
    I want to see Orsola's face one more time.
[20:27] ---
    Unfortunately, I must decline.
[20:30] ---
    That scream a moment ago--that
    was Orsola's voice, wasn't it?
[20:33] ---
    Where's Agnese? She's over there, right?
[20:38] ---
    Toma!
[20:46] ---
    S-Sister Lucia!
[20:48] ---
    We were told not to have
    any casual contact with the guests!
[20:51] ---
    Keep quiet, Sister Angelene!
[20:53] ---
    Damn you heathen, placing your
    festering hand on my shoulder...
[20:56] ---
    my shoulder... my shoulder...
    my shoulder!
[20:59] ---
    Nothing feels worse!
    Shall I say the Amakusa there resisted,
[21:03] ---
    and have him
    end up killing the rest of you?
[21:05] ---
    In the meantime, once
    we silence the other Amakusa...
[21:11] ---
    Toma!
[21:14] ---
    Sister Angelene...
[21:16] ---
    R-Right!
[21:18] ---
    Come forth, one
    of the twelve Apostles,
[21:20] ---
    publican, smiter of magicians,
    and humble servant!
[21:28] ---
    Index!
[21:30] ---
    Damn!
[21:31] ---
    You should worry more about yourself!
[21:34] ---
    Worry that you will be
    called home without any pain!
[21:39] ---
    Sister Angelene! Are you...
[21:42] ---
    N-No! It wasn't me!
[21:45] ---
    CTRTTOP, AO!
[21:55] ---
    Pretty sloppy! You don't
    pay any mind to external matters,
[21:59] ---
    which makes it easy to take control!
[22:01] ---
    Spell Intercept?!
[22:04] ---
    The order to retreat?
[22:06] ---
    Sister Angelene!
[22:09] ---
    R-Right!
[22:14] ---
    Now you see, right?
[22:16] ---
    This is how the greatest sect
    in the church of the cross,
[22:19] ---
    the Roman Orthodox Church,
    acts behind the scenes!
[22:25] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me

[22:32] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:49] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone

[22:55] ---
    I can always destroy that illusion
[23:01] ---
    The laid out system
    backup install is okay

[23:07] ---
    Fields unknown even
    to God become opened

[23:13] ---
    It's a "living form" that not even data
[23:18] ---
    from 100,000 memories
    in a moment's miracle can infer

[23:25] ---
    In a Magic∞world exciting
    time or space there's no limit

[23:31] ---
    I want the power it
    takes to protect somebody

[23:36] ---
    I can change even
    the destiny that entwines me
