[00:12] ---
    S-Say, you two. I'm...
[00:15] ---
    You're going to find your brother, right?
[00:17] ---
    Then it'd be better if all three of us go.
[00:20] ---
    Let's hurry.
[00:21] ---
    How did you know?
[00:23] ---
    You have such a distressed look.
    It's only natural that we'd realize.
[00:28] ---
    I can't believe you'd even
    consider leaving us out of this.
[00:31] ---
    Of course we'd go with you!
[00:34] ---
    But an important exam is going on!
    I can't drag you into this!
[00:39] ---
    You're doing this for someone
    more important than an exam, right?
[00:44] ---
    The same is true for us.
[00:46] ---
    Because we're a team...?
[00:47] ---
    No.
[00:48] ---
    Because we're friends.
[00:52] ---
    Still, your brother sure is a lucky guy,
[00:56] ---
    having so many girls worrying about him...
[00:59] ---
    I'd say it's more like "we can't take our
[01:01] ---
    eyes off him" than "we
    can't leave him alone."
[01:03] ---
    But, yeah, I think I see why
    other girls are so into him.
[01:07] ---
    Huh? They are?
[01:08] ---
    Oh, you haven't noticed?
[01:11] ---
    He fought the student council on even terms
[01:13] ---
    and he stopped that
    Cockatrice that went berserk.
[01:16] ---
    Just as your brother is
    popular with the guys,
[01:19] ---
    there are also lots of girls
    who find him charming.
[01:22] ---
    Charming...? Him?
[01:24] ---
    He is a bit of a pervert,
    but he's also impossible to hate.
[01:29] ---
    I guess that's an innate virtue of his.
[01:31] ---
    Could it be that you're so worried
    about him because you love him too?
[01:36] ---
    L-Love? Me, love him...?
[01:41] ---
    O-Oh, you! It's not like that!
[01:44] ---
    That's not how I--
[01:46] ---
    Ousawa...?
[01:47] ---
    No...
[01:49] ---
    Wonderful. I've finally found you.
[01:53] ---
    Who are you?
[01:55] ---
    A Disdia Paladin?!
[01:57] ---
    I, Phil Burnett, as decided upon by
    the Tripartite Alliance of Alayzard,
[02:02] ---
    have come to retrieve the missing
    daughter of Dark Lord Garius.
[02:07] ---
    I've looked everywhere for you, Miu...
[02:16] ---
    I... will change the world
[02:17] ---
    "Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero"
    I... will change the world
[02:21] ---
    "Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero"
    Your tear change real my soul
[02:29] ---
    From out of the flowing
    air, it rocks the world

[02:35] ---
    The time limit is drawing near
[02:38] ---
    What to do?
[02:40] ---
    Shout! Deep, jet-black eyes
[02:45] ---
    Ah, bearing a lasting grudge
[02:50] ---
    A soaring hero of darkness
[02:55] ---
    Enkindled
[02:57] ---
    Change the world
[02:59] ---
    Strong my heart
[03:00] ---
    Whatever controls me, I'll pierce through it
[03:02] ---
    Praise will be my reward
[03:05] ---
    and set off my burning aesthetics
[03:08] ---
    Without showing my tears
[03:14] ---
    I still swear to protect you
[03:18] ---
    Now let loose and realize
[03:33] ---
    Now we are
[03:43] ---
    "On Such a Beautiful Moonlit Night"
[03:47] ---
    --No good! I can't access anything!
    --What the hell's going on?!
[03:51] ---
    Damn it!
[03:52] ---
    --Any luck?!
    --Professor Kubota!
[03:55] ---
    Status report.
[03:57] ---
    The barrier system went offline
    approximately thirty minutes ago.
[04:00] ---
    There was a failure in the main
    program for reasons unknown
[04:03] ---
    and we're unable to restore it!
[04:05] ---
    And the other networks and systems?
[04:06] ---
    --U-Unaffected.
    - -All right.
[04:09] ---
    Set up parallel-execution bypasses
    on each functioning system's network.
[04:15] ---
    We'll use those to reconstruct
    and restore the remaining systems.
[04:19] ---
    There are two battlefields now--
    out there and in here.
[04:22] ---
    Let's put our lives on the line too!
[04:24] ---
    Right!
[04:28] ---
    I can't believe this...
[04:30] ---
    Minami. Contact the operations base camp.
[04:33] ---
    Have them locate Ousawa's sister and
    her friends using their A.D.s' signals.
[04:37] ---
    Base camp. Respond.
[04:40] ---
    This is terrible...
[04:49] ---
    Found 'em.
[04:52] ---
    Izumi! Class Rep!
[04:53] ---
    Doumoto and Izumi...!
[04:56] ---
    You're alive?!
[04:58] ---
    Yes... Somehow...
[05:01] ---
    Izumi shielded me at the last second...
[05:05] ---
    Ousawa...
[05:08] ---
    I'm... sorry...
[05:10] ---
    Doumoto! What on earth happened?!
[05:13] ---
    Who was it?
[05:14] ---
    A man I've never seen before...
[05:18] ---
    We didn't stand a chance...
[05:21] ---
    We couldn't move...
[05:22] ---
    So your sister went off by herself...
    to lure him away from us...
[05:28] ---
    I think he was... from the
    same world you were in...
[05:33] ---
    Your sister called him a Disdia Paladin...
[05:49] ---
    And where do you think you're going?
[05:54] ---
    Sheesh. You keep putting
    up a pointless struggle.
[06:02] ---
    I need to put some distance between us...
[06:05] ---
    Please be all right! Class Rep! Chikage!
[06:17] ---
    What are you doing?
[06:20] ---
    First aid.
[06:21] ---
    I stabilized their internal energy flows.
[06:26] ---
    --Haruka!
    - -Y-Yes?!
[06:28] ---
    Wh-What's the big idea, Akatsuki Ousawa?!
[06:31] ---
    Suddenly shouting at me like that...!
[06:33] ---
    Take these two to the ICU.
    I think you're our fastest option.
[06:37] ---
    First you shout my name rudely,
    and then call me an "option"?!
[06:41] ---
    I agree, though. That is
    the best course of action.
[06:44] ---
    They were monitoring the
    A.D.s from the base camp
[06:47] ---
    to keep tabs on the ranking matches, right?
[06:49] ---
    Check the data just before
    the system went offline
[06:52] ---
    and try to figure out where all the other
    students still on the battlefield are.
[06:57] ---
    Aihara. You use earth magic, right?
[07:00] ---
    Can you make golems that follow orders?
[07:02] ---
    Yeah.
[07:03] ---
    What's the most you can make?
[07:06] ---
    About 300, I'd say.
[07:08] ---
    Good, that's plenty.
[07:10] ---
    Order the golems to help the
    other students on the battlefield
[07:14] ---
    and take them to the base camp.
[07:16] ---
    Uesaki. You'll help.
[07:19] ---
    Whenever someone injured is found,
[07:21] ---
    launch a fire spell into
    the air to let Haruka know.
[07:24] ---
    Wait, Ousawa.
[07:26] ---
    Don't tell me you're going it alone...
[07:28] ---
    You guys do your jobs as
    student council members
[07:31] ---
    and I'll do my job.
[07:32] ---
    You're a student of JPN BABEL.
[07:35] ---
    Even if you are a troublemaker,
[07:38] ---
    do you honestly think we'll just *let
    you walk headlong into danger?!
[07:43] ---
    Oh? You're concerned about me, V.P.?
[07:46] ---
    P-Please don't get the wrong idea!
[07:49] ---
    This is my duty as vice president
    and head of the Discipline Committee!
[07:52] ---
    I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm going.
[07:55] ---
    My sister's in trouble and all.
[07:57] ---
    Ousawa--!
[07:59] ---
    You can't stop me.
[08:01] ---
    You should know that by now.
[08:09] ---
    See you. Look after the class rep and Izumi.
[08:14] ---
    We'll go for now.
[08:16] ---
    But we'll catch up with you
    once we've evacuated everyone!
[08:20] ---
    We will come for you!
[08:24] ---
    Let's go, Minami! Uesaki!
[08:27] ---
    I'll carry you two to the base
    camp on my way to the ICU.
[08:32] ---
    If we're going to aid and
    evacuate everyone his way,
[08:35] ---
    then it would be easier to do so from there.
[08:45] ---
    Oh?
[08:47] ---
    I'm sorry, but could you please step aside?
[08:50] ---
    I've no business or trouble with you.
[08:53] ---
    Or even any interest.
[08:55] ---
    I simply wish to follow her.
[08:58] ---
    So could you please step aside?
[09:01] ---
    Nope! I don't give a damn about you, either!
[09:04] ---
    Unfortunately, though,
    I got business with you.
[09:08] ---
    You're not going anywhere!
[09:10] ---
    How troubling.
[09:13] ---
    Seeing as you so kindly
    and conveniently deactivated
[09:15] ---
    the field that prevents physical damage,
[09:17] ---
    you could end up more than
    just injured in a fight now.
[09:21] ---
    Personally, I'd prefer not to drag
    uninvolved people into this, but...
[09:31] ---
    How terrible.
[09:34] ---
    It seems you're well aware of
    the difference in our abilities.
[09:39] ---
    You're actually serious about this.
[09:41] ---
    Very well.
[09:42] ---
    If you insist on protecting her,
    then I'll show no mercy.
[09:48] ---
    A mirage, huh?
[10:02] ---
    This energy...!
[10:04] ---
    That idiot! He has no idea
    what he's gotten himself into!
[10:11] ---
    Adjusting the air density to make
    the heat of that flame spell
[10:17] ---
    create mirages of yourself...
[10:19] ---
    I never imagined you could
    use such delicate magic!
[10:25] ---
    Do you have some sort of special
    feelings for her or something?
[10:29] ---
    Hell, no! This is about my own feelings!
[10:34] ---
    I could never acknowledge my
    own weakness until just recently.
[10:38] ---
    I preyed on other people's
    weakness to distract from my own.
[10:42] ---
    I held grudges against
    people stronger than me
[10:45] ---
    and even thought up ways to make them pay.
[10:47] ---
    If people hear later on that my pathetic
    actions wound up helping a terrorist...
[10:53] ---
    ...would they really give me
    the benefit of the doubt?!
[10:57] ---
    Thanks to Ousawa,
    the damage has been minimized...
[11:01] ---
    Damage caused because a terrorist
    took advantage of my vengefulness!
[11:06] ---
    Well, the hell with that!
[11:07] ---
    I can't run anymore!
[11:10] ---
    I won't run from my own weakness anymore!
[11:14] ---
    No more!
[11:15] ---
    Yeesh.
[11:17] ---
    I had you pegged as a stray mutt,
    but you're actually just a lousy underdog.
[11:23] ---
    You should save your miserable howling
    for somewhere you can be alone.
[11:29] ---
    So, do you wish to continue?
[11:32] ---
    Our difference in skill is obvious.
[11:34] ---
    Or do you honestly think you can defeat an
    opponent you can't even effectively attack
[11:39] ---
    with cheap tricks and sneak attacks?
[11:41] ---
    Nope!
[11:42] ---
    But I do have pride, believe it or not!
[11:54] ---
    For all your huffing and puffing,
    that's the best you can do?
[12:11] ---
    I'm sure it's extremely painful,
    but I doubt you'll die.
[12:15] ---
    If your pitiful pride is all you
    want to protect and not the girl,
[12:21] ---
    then I've no reason to kill you.
[12:24] ---
    I only kill members of the Dark Clan
    and those who serve them.
[12:29] ---
    I am a hero, after all.
[12:41] ---
    D-Don't touch me...
[12:45] ---
    Your sister's that-a-way...
[12:47] ---
    Th-That bastard, too...!
[12:49] ---
    I know. Just stop talking.
[12:51] ---
    What... the hell... are you doing?
[12:56] ---
    Your sister or me...
    Don't even have to think about it...!
[13:00] ---
    Yeah.
[13:02] ---
    Come on out, Kaidou.
[13:04] ---
    Huh?
[13:06] ---
    I'd fully concealed my energy...
    yet you saw right through it?
[13:11] ---
    When did you first notice?
[13:12] ---
    From the very start, obviously.
[13:15] ---
    Even before and after I
    took on the student council...
[13:18] ---
    You've been tailing me this whole time.
[13:21] ---
    Hey, Akki.
[13:23] ---
    I gotta say, you really have a
    bad personality, you know that?
[13:28] ---
    Like you're one to talk.
[13:30] ---
    Anyways, take him to the ICU.
    As fast as you can.
[13:37] ---
    Man, that was quick.
[13:39] ---
    I was hoping to see more
    of what he can do, too.
[13:43] ---
    Guess I got no choice.
    I'll have to take you there.
[13:46] ---
    You... go on, too...
[13:49] ---
    This guy's a complete mystery...
[13:52] ---
    We don't know for sure
    that Ousawa can beat him...
[13:55] ---
    Yeah, yeah. Just quit talking.
[13:58] ---
    I'll be in a real pickle
    if you die on me here.
[14:02] ---
    Besides, it'd be a real disappointment
[14:04] ---
    if I can't even handle a simple
    situation like this by myself.
[14:09] ---
    Right, Akki?
[14:14] ---
    Attention, all JPN BABEL
    students and faculty members.
[14:19] ---
    This facility's main system
    has suffered serious damage.
[14:24] ---
    This incident has been declared
    a Level 5 state of emergency.
[14:28] ---
    Ahem!
[14:30] ---
    This is Ryohei Uesaki, secretary of
    the High School Student Council!
[14:34] ---
    Due to the current state of emergency,
[14:35] ---
    the high school ranking matches
    presently underway are hereby suspended!
[14:41] ---
    Do you understand?! The
    fighting is called off!
[14:44] ---
    Cease all combat activities immediately
[14:46] ---
    and return to Field #1,
    where the base of operations is!
[14:51] ---
    I can't provide details just yet,
[14:53] ---
    but this is a very serious
    and complex situation!
[14:57] ---
    Just hurry!
[14:58] ---
    Man, that secretary's fast at his job!
[15:01] ---
    Oh, and Ousawa!
[15:03] ---
    I'm sure you're hoping to
    pin this annoying work on us
[15:05] ---
    so you can take care of
    everything in the meantime,
[15:08] ---
    but don't rush too far on your own!
[15:10] ---
    Catch you later!
[15:12] ---
    That obvious, huh?
[15:14] ---
    Sorry, but no-can-do!
[15:22] ---
    This should be far enough
    away from everyone else...!
[15:26] ---
    Norn... Check?
[15:27] ---
    Yes.
[15:29] ---
    They use spirit magic
    when students enter BABEL
[15:32] ---
    to roughly tell their fortunes.
[15:37] ---
    You had your happiness taken away
[15:39] ---
    at the end of a spiral of sorrow
    in a world named Alayzard.
[15:44] ---
    You lost everything.
    Only struggles and misery remain.
[15:48] ---
    Isolation always follows you.
[15:53] ---
    You can make yourself isolated.
    Others can make you stand apart.
[15:58] ---
    That is all.
[16:00] ---
    Honestly, it doesn't sound
    like a pleasant prophecy.
[16:03] ---
    Just to be safe, you should be
    wary of putting yourself in danger.
[16:11] ---
    I've had plenty of attempts
    on my life before...
[16:16] ---
    So why am I so afraid now?!
[16:26] ---
    What am I feeling...?!
[16:30] ---
    It's because he was there
    for me... That's why I...!
[16:36] ---
    Have you accepted your fate?
[16:43] ---
    Allow me to introduce myself again.
[16:45] ---
    I am Phil Burnett.
[16:48] ---
    As decided upon by the
    Tripartite Alliance of Alayzard,
[16:51] ---
    I have come to retrieve the missing
    daughter of Dark Lord Garius.
[16:55] ---
    I am the new hero.
[17:02] ---
    That's the emblem of the
    Disdia Empire, isn't it?
[17:06] ---
    Yes.
[17:07] ---
    It became my new home after
    I was summoned to Alayzard.
[17:13] ---
    Yes, that's right. I'm from this world.
[17:18] ---
    You're "retrieving" me?
[17:19] ---
    That makes it sound like you're
    going to take me back to Alayzard!
[17:22] ---
    That's precisely what I mean. What of it?
[17:25] ---
    That's impossible!
[17:27] ---
    I've never once heard of someone
    who's returned to their world
[17:31] ---
    and then come back to Alayzard!
[17:33] ---
    The common perception among
    everyone in Alayzard--including you--
[17:38] ---
    was that no one from Alayzard can
    pass through the Otherworld Gate.
[17:42] ---
    But you're here.
[17:45] ---
    Perhaps it's because the
    "Rogue Hero" made it possible?
[17:48] ---
    In which case, it's hardly surprising
    for there to be a hero like me as well.
[17:53] ---
    A hero who can go back to Alayzard
    even after returning to his home world...
[17:59] ---
    That can't be...
[18:00] ---
    Did you honestly think you would
    be safe by escaping into this world?
[18:06] ---
    A dark lord's daughter,
    abandoning her own world
[18:09] ---
    and casually living in another one...
[18:12] ---
    Did you honestly think that would be allowed?
[18:16] ---
    I've never once thought that way!
[18:22] ---
    Once you're back in Alayzard,
    you will be given a public execution.
[18:32] ---
    Despite the dark lord's death,
    some in the Dark Clan continue to resist.
[18:37] ---
    But if the dark lord bloodline
    is completely eliminated,
[18:40] ---
    they will surely stop fighting
    and surrender peacefully.
[18:44] ---
    So, for the sake of peace in Alayzard,
    won't you please die?
[18:48] ---
    What an obvious lie!
[18:51] ---
    If you really want to pacify the Dark Clan,
[18:54] ---
    why would you need to
    hold a public execution?!
[18:57] ---
    It'd be much more effective
    to just kill me now,
[19:00] ---
    parade my corpse around,
    and crush their will to fight!
[19:03] ---
    You need to capture me alive
[19:05] ---
    because you want to use me as
    bait to lure the Dark Clan out!
[19:09] ---
    You're trying to stamp out
    the Dark Clan entirely!
[19:12] ---
    Looks like you're rather clever after all.
[19:15] ---
    So you know our goal.
    What difference does it make?
[19:20] ---
    You're helpless to do anything.
[19:23] ---
    All you can do now is die
    for the people of Alayzard.
[19:27] ---
    As bait for the rest of
    the Dark Clan, of course.
[19:30] ---
    I refuse to be used that way! I'd rather--!
[19:33] ---
    Oh, and please don't even
    think of biting your tongue.
[19:37] ---
    Try it and I'll go back and
    kill your friend right now.
[19:42] ---
    Coward! You claim to be a hero,
    yet you go and do this...!
[19:46] ---
    You curried favor with your
    father's killer--the Rogue Hero--
[19:51] ---
    simply to save your own neck.
[19:54] ---
    I'd say you're in no position
    to call me a coward.
[19:59] ---
    Take that back! That was an
    absolutely unforgivable thing to say!
[20:04] ---
    Take it back! Take it back!
[20:06] ---
    Oh, did I hit the mark?
    You're really embarrassing yourself.
[20:10] ---
    More importantly...
[20:12] ---
    What are you--?!
[20:13] ---
    I was hoping you could tell me
    how you cajoled the Rogue Hero...
[20:18] ---
    I know he loves girls,
[20:20] ---
    but it's hard to believe that he'd
    actually save the daughter of a dark lord.
[20:24] ---
    I'm intrigued to know what sort
    of lewd seduction you used on him...
[20:29] ---
    Oh, what's the matter?
[20:30] ---
    Who knows, maybe if you can coax me now,
[20:33] ---
    you'll get to live a little longer?
[20:36] ---
    N-No!
[20:38] ---
    You still think you can defeat me, do you?
[20:41] ---
    It seems you don't yet fully
    grasp the situation you're in.
[20:47] ---
    You're the daughter of a dark lord.
[20:49] ---
    As long as you're alive,
    more will be sent after you.
[20:52] ---
    Do you really want to
[20:54] ---
    drag this world and innocent friends
    into it each and every time?
[21:01] ---
    If you ever want to cry
    but can't cry on your own,
[21:05] ---
    I'll make it so you can.
[21:09] ---
    Because I'm the only one who can do that now.
[21:15] ---
    As long as you stay here,
    people will continue to die.
[21:19] ---
    Both here and in Alayzard.
[21:21] ---
    No... that's...
[21:28] ---
    She's crying?
[21:30] ---
    That's unforgivable.
[21:32] ---
    A guy other than me, making a girl cry
    on such a beautiful moonlit night...
[21:38] ---
    Her tears...
[21:40] ---
    ...are gonna cost you!
[21:59] ---
    I can't sleep 'cause of love
[22:04] ---
    I can't sleep 'cause it's too hard to ignore
[22:10] ---
    How do these things even start, I wonder?
[22:16] ---
    Why does my voice go hoarse?
[22:21] ---
    Those unending, worry-filled dreams
[22:27] ---
    And my fingers feel hot after biting at them
[22:32] ---
    I'm confused, I'm afraid,
    I can't handle this...

[22:37] ---
    I love you!
[22:41] ---
    My story, a certain story
[22:44] ---
    I'm not so little that a fairy tale
    can put me to sleep

[22:52] ---
    My story, a certain story
[22:55] ---
    The days I think only about you
    are probably going to be tough

[23:16] ---
    If Akatsuki and Phil Burnett
    were to run into each other,
[23:18] ---
    I somehow doubt it would end
    with just a simple conversation.
[23:22] ---
    Akatsuki never shows mercy
    to those who target him.
[23:25] ---
    If Phil Burnett were to drag those
    close to Akatsuki into the fight...
[23:29] ---
    In fact, Akatsuki never forgives
    anyone who makes a girl cry.
[23:36] ---
    His aesthetic sense won't allow it.
[23:38] ---
    Next episode: "Where I Belong."
[23:40] ---
    That's
the enemy.
