**[00:42] ---**
Hey.
**[00:49] ---**
Looks like you're all right.
**[01:12] ---**
*I... will change the world*
**[01:13] ---**
"Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero"
*I... will change the world*
**[01:17] ---**
"Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero"
*Your tear change real my soul*
**[01:25] ---**
*From out of the flowing
air, it rocks the world*
**[01:31] ---**
*The time limit is drawing near*
**[01:34] ---**
*What to do?*
**[01:35] ---**
*Shout! Deep, jet-black eyes*
**[01:41] ---**
*Ah, bearing a lasting grudge*
**[01:46] ---**
*A soaring hero of darkness*
**[01:51] ---**
*Enkindled*
**[01:53] ---**
*Change the world*
**[01:54] ---**
*Strong my heart*
**[01:56] ---**
*Whatever controls me, I'll pierce through it*
**[01:58] ---**
*Praise will be my reward*
**[02:01] ---**
*and set off my burning aesthetics*
**[02:04] ---**
*Without showing my tears*
**[02:10] ---**
*I still swear to protect you*
**[02:14] ---**
*Now let loose and realize*
**[02:29] ---**
*Now we are*
**[02:39] ---**
"The World Is Watching You"
**[02:44] ---**
N-No way...!
**[02:58] ---**
No, don't! This is too reckless!
**[03:01] ---**
You *can't* fight like this!
You don't even have a weapon!
**[03:05] ---**
I don't care.
**[03:07] ---**
I don't care if it's reckless or not,
impossible or not...
**[03:12] ---**
This is about doing it or not doing it...
**[03:15] ---**
Having faith or not having faith...
**[03:17] ---**
That's all.
**[03:19] ---**
But...!
**[03:20] ---**
*Now* is the time to believe in me.
**[03:23] ---**
It's exactly times like this that
you *really* need to have faith.
**[03:28] ---**
If you only have faith when you have
an advantage or a good chance,
**[03:31] ---**
you can't call that true belief.
**[03:36] ---**
Now.
**[03:38] ---**
*Now* is the time for you to believe in me.
**[03:41] ---**
Have faith that the guy you decided
you belong with won't lose here.
**[03:46] ---**
Or can you not believe in me?
**[04:03] ---**
I don't want you to do anything reckless
**[04:06] ---**
or push yourself too hard,
because I'm worried about you.
**[04:08] ---**
But I *do* believe in you!
**[04:11] ---**
Akatsuki Ousawa!
**[04:18] ---**
It's no use trying to stop me,
Miss Vice President.
**[04:23] ---**
No, I've no intention of stopping you either.
**[04:27] ---**
Take this. Consider it insurance.
**[04:30] ---**
Right.
**[04:32] ---**
Have you finished saying your goodbyes?
**[04:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:38] ---**
It's time to say goodbye to you.
**[04:41] ---**
Here I come.
**[04:47] ---**
This is the end!
**[04:59] ---**
So long, newbie!
**[05:01] ---**
Yes! Farewell, predecessor!
**[05:23] ---**
Oh, no!
**[05:31] ---**
You said you're where I belong!
**[05:34] ---**
You can't lose, Akatsuki!
**[05:44] ---**
Here's another one!
**[07:03] ---**
Are you crying?
**[07:34] ---**
So this is the great hero
everyone's talking about...
**[07:37] ---**
His little show certainly broke the
monotony of an otherwise boring meeting.
**[07:42] ---**
Yes. He singlehandedly
defeated a higher life form.
**[07:47] ---**
And his inability to use magic didn't
seem to bother him in the slightest.
**[07:51] ---**
I would say he is decently skilled.
**[07:53] ---**
Still, his opponent was nothing but a
charlatan bound by the laws of causality.
**[07:59] ---**
Higher life forms of that sort *should
*be left to little hero-wannabes.
**[08:06] ---**
What *we* seek is on a completely
different level altogether.
**[08:10] ---**
Our goal is to summon and control a
being that governs this world's rules.
**[08:15] ---**
Precisely.
**[08:17] ---**
Towers of Babel worldwide are working
to stabilize the underground veins.
**[08:22] ---**
Once the two under
construction are completed,
**[08:24] ---**
Project Y will at last enter its final stage.
**[08:27] ---**
Be prepared for when the
promised day comes, all of you.
**[08:31] ---**
What about the Crimson Twilight?
**[08:33] ---**
Can we finally take 'em out?
**[08:35] ---**
Suit yourself.
**[08:36] ---**
You are free to eliminate all who
would interfere with our plan.
**[08:41] ---**
Their founder, however, is mine.
**[08:46] ---**
No one touches him. He's *my* prey.
**[08:55] ---**
They hurt a higher life form that would
normally be impervious to magic...
**[09:00] ---**
A being with control over this world's rules,
**[09:02] ---**
who can make the impossible possible...
**[09:04] ---**
To think a chance would come so quickly...
**[09:10] ---**
Hikami.
**[09:13] ---**
Michael...
**[09:14] ---**
Why did you not handle this yourself?
**[09:19] ---**
That higher life form's breath
was more than a little destructive.
**[09:25] ---**
Not even your Tower of Babel could
have withstood a direct hit from it.
**[09:30] ---**
Had that happened, it would have
considerably affected our plan.
**[09:35] ---**
Indeed, the Light of Babel could have
solved the problem in an instant.
**[09:40] ---**
However, it would also have wiped out
everything within a three-kilometer radius.
**[09:45] ---**
Plus, there were still students
within the life form's vicinity,
**[09:50] ---**
including student council
members who assist me.
**[09:54] ---**
The realization of Project Y must
take precedence over all else.
**[10:00] ---**
All sacrifices that must
be made are justified.
**[10:03] ---**
And your little brother is to be
one of those "sacrifices" too?
**[10:15] ---**
Guess I don't get to square off
with Kyoya Hikami after all...
**[10:20] ---**
Oh. Thought I'd find you up here.
**[10:23] ---**
What did you do this time, Akki?
**[10:26] ---**
The V.P. was looking for you
with a scary look on her face.
**[10:29] ---**
Oh, right. I haven't given hers back yet...
**[10:38] ---**
Oh, yeah. They posted the
results of the ranking matches.
**[10:41] ---**
Did you see 'em?
**[10:42] ---**
The results? But everything was
canceled after the second day.
**[10:47] ---**
Sounds like it's based on people's grades
up until the system trouble happened.
**[10:50] ---**
That way everyone is on equal footing.
**[10:53] ---**
Incidentally, you and your
teammates won first place
**[10:55] ---**
and are goin' straight to Class A.
**[10:58] ---**
So, what about you?
**[11:01] ---**
Well, I managed, I guess.
**[11:04] ---**
You were sneaking around
the entire time and all.
**[11:08] ---**
What are you talking about, Akki?
**[11:10] ---**
You so kindly left that
Onizuka guy in my hands
**[11:13] ---**
and had me race him to the ICU, remember?
**[11:17] ---**
Liar.
**[11:18] ---**
Those chains that immobilized
it at the very end there...
**[11:23] ---**
They were *your* doing.
**[11:28] ---**
I thought for sure you'd never notice...
**[11:31] ---**
It seemed like your own personal problem,
so I hadn't meant to butt in.
**[11:36] ---**
Did I offend you?
**[11:38] ---**
Nah. It would've ended
the same way regardless.
**[11:41] ---**
Oh, pretty confident of yourself.
**[11:44] ---**
Tell me, Kaidou.
**[11:45] ---**
You said you didn't do anything 'cause you
**[11:48] ---**
thought it was my own personal problem.
**[11:51] ---**
Meaning you *would* have dealt with
that dragon had it not been my problem?
**[11:58] ---**
Yeah, right! Like anyone
would've fought that monster!
**[12:02] ---**
I'm just a guy who loves the
nice and peaceful school life!
**[12:06] ---**
Besides, I told you before
the ranking matches
**[12:09] ---**
that I don't fight battles
where the outcome is obvious.
**[12:13] ---**
Well, see ya!
**[12:19] ---**
This is a rare treat, Captain.
*You* hardly ever call *me*.
**[12:24] ---**
Yeah. He's honestly even
more skilled than I imagined.
**[12:28] ---**
He *did* singlehandedly slice a
monster-sized higher life form in two.
**[12:33] ---**
I bet he and Kyoya Hikami of COCOON
would have an amazing fight.
**[12:36] ---**
But I can't really see
him wanting to join us.
**[12:41] ---**
Huh?
**[12:43] ---**
Got it. I'll continue my surveillance.
**[12:47] ---**
Understood. Until another twilight elsewhere.
**[12:52] ---**
Well, then. The world's finally
startin' to get interesting.
**[13:02] ---**
You not only recognized a contractor
with the Dragon of Woe as a new hero,
**[13:06] ---**
but hid that fact and recommended
him for a vital mission?!
**[13:10] ---**
Please explain yourself, Lord Baram!
**[13:14] ---**
This is the dark lord's
daughter we're dealing with.
**[13:16] ---**
What issue is there in
fighting fire with fire?
**[13:20] ---**
Do you honestly think we will be
convinced by such absurdity?!
**[13:25] ---**
Just what about enlisting Zahhak's
help do you find so disagreeable?
**[13:30] ---**
Dragon of Woe or not, there is no
issue if its power is used justly.
**[13:36] ---**
Acting needlessly high-minded
will solve nothing.
**[13:41] ---**
Mm.
**[13:44] ---**
In that case, then, how exactly
will Phil Burnett's deeds--
**[13:47] ---**
both good and evil--be explained?
**[13:50] ---**
By their results, of course.
**[13:54] ---**
Just as has always been true in history,
only the results will tell the tale.
**[13:59] ---**
Should he return with the
dark lord's daughter,
**[14:02] ---**
no longer will anyone have
doubt about Phil being a hero.
**[14:06] ---**
That is wonderful thinking, Lord Baram.
**[14:09] ---**
Are you certain that's wise, though?
**[14:11] ---**
Should he *not* return with
the dark lord's daughter...
**[14:15] ---**
Then I will readily take
responsibility for my remarks
**[14:20] ---**
and apologize for my rude behavior
until Queen Listy is satisfied.
**[14:26] ---**
What's wrong? We're in the
middle of an important meeting.
**[14:30] ---**
I apologize. We've pressing news to report.
**[14:34] ---**
We just received information
regarding Black Mountain.
**[14:38] ---**
The dark beasts on the island
have suddenly begun fighting.
**[14:41] ---**
Experts believe that the mountain's
master, Zahhak, has perished,
**[14:46] ---**
thus freeing them from its control
and causing order there to collapse.
**[14:51] ---**
Impossible!
**[14:52] ---**
If you disagree with the
results of our investigation,
**[14:55] ---**
then you are free to return to Disdia
and conduct your own investigation.
**[14:59] ---**
Phil and Zahhak could not
possibly have been defeated!
**[15:03] ---**
Now, then. What shall you do now, Lord Baram?
**[15:09] ---**
It appears we have our "results."
**[15:12] ---**
That just leaves the insulting remarks
**[15:15] ---**
with which you demeaned Akatsuki,
the hero who vanquished the dark lord.
**[15:20] ---**
What say you?
**[15:26] ---**
Akatsuki...
**[15:30] ---**
There is one other thing to report.
**[15:33] ---**
The Shellfeed and Disdia joint
forces stationed along the border
**[15:37] ---**
have been wiped out.
**[15:41] ---**
Reports state they were suddenly attacked
by the Dark Clan while making camp.
**[15:45] ---**
Huh?!
**[15:54] ---**
Thanks for saving him and me!
**[15:58] ---**
Sheesh! You're gonna catch a cold!
**[16:06] ---**
Th-That's not fair! Pretending to sleep...
**[16:10] ---**
Yeesh...
**[16:13] ---**
The 36th Cavalry is now ready to depart!
**[16:18] ---**
Wizard Battalion is ready to depart!
**[16:21] ---**
Hurry! Those Dark Clan bastards
won't wait around for us!
**[16:26] ---**
Don't forget what I said that day.
**[16:29] ---**
If anything happens, call for me.
**[16:32] ---**
As long as you have faith in me,
I *will* rush to your aid!
**[16:39] ---**
Akatsuki...
**[16:45] ---**
Guess I better go...
**[16:49] ---**
Well, umm...
**[16:51] ---**
This might take a while to explain,
but please hear me out.
**[16:57] ---**
It's about why the ranking matches
turned out the way they did...
**[17:01] ---**
...and who I actually am...
**[17:06] ---**
Oh, they're soft.
**[17:09] ---**
You were starting to act so stiff
**[17:11] ---**
that I figured your boobs were sensitive
to the situation and got stiff too.
**[17:15] ---**
You're the one who needs to
be sensitive of the situation!
**[17:20] ---**
Boobs are soft in any situation!
**[17:23] ---**
Oh, you *can* talk straight after all.
**[17:26] ---**
Huh?
**[17:27] ---**
I can understand why it's not
easy for you to talk about it.
**[17:31] ---**
But Izumi and the class rep
*did* go out of their way
**[17:34] ---**
to come hear what you have to say.
**[17:37] ---**
Oh!
**[17:39] ---**
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
**[17:41] ---**
No need to apologize. Or get worked up.
**[17:46] ---**
We're here to hear what
*you* want to talk about.
**[17:51] ---**
Ousawa. We appreciate the sentiment,
but please don't rush her.
**[17:56] ---**
We'd rather wait until she's ready.
**[18:01] ---**
'Kay, then. My bad.
**[18:06] ---**
Well, you see...
**[18:12] ---**
Good for her.
**[18:14] ---**
Now, then...
**[18:17] ---**
Listen.
**[18:19] ---**
I have to go somewhere now
to take care of something.
**[18:22] ---**
Although I'll technically only
be gone for a moment, I guess.
**[18:26] ---**
A moment?
**[18:28] ---**
You don't mean... Alayzard?!
**[18:30] ---**
I have to nip this in the bud.
**[18:32] ---**
You were found way too fast.
**[18:35] ---**
It's almost like me bringing you to
this world was part of someone's plan.
**[18:40] ---**
What do you mean?
**[18:41] ---**
My guess is some trouble's
brewing over there.
**[18:45] ---**
I'm gonna check it out.
**[18:50] ---**
You're gonna come?
**[18:52] ---**
Mm!
**[18:55] ---**
Guys...!
**[18:59] ---**
All right.
**[19:05] ---**
Honestly! Why do I have to do this?
**[19:08] ---**
This makes me seem so utterly suspicious...
**[19:11] ---**
Oh? Is that you, V.P.?
**[19:15] ---**
M-Motoharu Kaidou!
**[19:17] ---**
What are *you* doing here?
**[19:19] ---**
Likewise, what are *you* doing
in front of Akki's house?
**[19:23] ---**
I'm only here because Professor Kubota
asked me to deliver something.
**[19:31] ---**
Don't tell me you saw...?
**[19:33] ---**
Huh? Saw what?
**[19:35] ---**
Oh, never mind! You did
just arrive and all, huh?
**[19:39] ---**
No, I've been watching
for the past half hour or so.
**[19:42] ---**
Th-Then why didn't you call out to me?!
**[19:46] ---**
I just got a real kick out of how
suspicious you were acting, y'know?
**[19:50] ---**
Do you not have the tact
to pretend you didn't see?!
**[19:59] ---**
Is that... a dimensional shift?!
**[20:02] ---**
Ugh. I shoulda figured!
**[20:04] ---**
W-Wait!
**[20:11] ---**
That's it...
**[20:13] ---**
Take slow, deep breaths and try hard
to picture Alayzard in your head.
**[20:21] ---**
Good.
**[20:23] ---**
Hold on! Just what do
you think you're doing?!
**[20:26] ---**
Huh? Vice President? And Kaidou?
**[20:30] ---**
Yo. Thanks for comin' to see us off.
**[20:33] ---**
We'll see you in a bit.
**[20:35] ---**
Whoops!
**[20:36] ---**
*I can't sleep 'cause of love*
**[20:41] ---**
*I can't sleep 'cause of love
*Hey, now...
**[20:42] ---**
*I can't sleep 'cause it's too hard to ignore
*Hey, now...
**[20:43] ---**
*I can't sleep 'cause it's too hard to ignore
*Sorry, Akki.
**[20:44] ---**
*I can't sleep 'cause it's too hard to ignore
*For the first time in my life, my hand slipped.
**[20:48] ---**
*How do these things even start, I wonder?
*For the first time in my life, my hand slipped.
**[20:48] ---**
*How do these things even start, I wonder?
*What nonsense are you pulling?!
**[20:51] ---**
*How do these things even start, I wonder?*
**[20:52] ---**
*How do these things even start, I wonder?
*Oh, man. The V.P. too...
**[20:53] ---**
*Why does my voice go hoarse?
*Oh, man. The V.P. too...
**[20:55] ---**
*Why does my voice go hoarse?
*It's a real quagmire.
**[20:56] ---**
*Why does my voice go hoarse?
*C'mon, you guys!
**[20:58] ---**
*Why does my voice go hoarse?
*We're not goin' on a picnic, you know!
**[20:59] ---**
*Those unending, worry-filled dreams
*We're not goin' on a picnic, you know!
**[21:00] ---**
*Those unending, worry-filled dreams
*Huh?
**[21:01] ---**
*Those unending, worry-filled dreams*
**[21:05] ---**
*And my fingers feel hot after biting at them
*Don't worry. Trust me.
**[21:07] ---**
*And my fingers feel hot after biting at them
*I'll get this all sorted out, no matter what happens.
**[21:10] ---**
*I'm confused, I'm afraid,
I can't handle this...*
**[21:14] ---**
*I'm confused, I'm afraid, I can't handle this...
*All right! Here goes!
**[21:15] ---**
*I love you!
*All right! Here goes!
**[21:17] ---**
*I love you!*
**[21:18] ---**
*My story, a certain story*
**[21:21] ---**
*I'm not so little that a fairy tale
can put me to sleep*
**[21:30] ---**
*My story, a certain story*
**[21:33] ---**
*The days I think only about you
are probably going to be tough*
**[21:48] ---**
*I want to be awakened
like the feelings of love*
**[21:53] ---**
*Fully, completely awakened*
**[21:59] ---**
*That I can't tenderly say so makes me blue*
**[22:04] ---**
*So I coldly shut the door*
**[22:10] ---**
*It's not like that, it pains me,
even if it isn't meant to be...*
**[22:15] ---**
*I love you!*
**[22:18] ---**
*My story, a certain story*
**[22:21] ---**
*I'm not so little that a fairy
tale can put me to sleep*
**[22:29] ---**
*My story, a certain story*
**[22:32] ---**
*I miss you and can't sleep on
the days I think only about you*
**[22:41] ---**
*I'm crazy, utterly crazy*
**[22:44] ---**
*Being fulfilled by dreams
is never gonna happen*
**[22:52] ---**
*I'm crazy, utterly crazy*
**[22:55] ---**
*I want you*
**[22:58] ---**
*Even if I try catching you,
you'll probably slip through my fingers*
**[23:07] ---**
*No!!*
