**[00:03] Sana**
What are you saying?
**[00:05] Sana**
I'm not human, you know.
**[00:08] Sana**
I'll cause a lot of trouble for you.
**[00:11] Sana**
For Sanae, too.
**[00:12] Zoroku**
So what?
**[00:14] Zoroku**
No matter what you are,
**[00:16] Zoroku**
in tough times, you should
be with others.
**[00:20] Zoroku**
You left because you wanted to
see what was outside, right?
**[00:24] Zoroku**
Then do that.
**[00:26] Zoroku**
Don't go back on your word.
**[00:28] Zoroku**
I hate crooked stuff, you know.
**[00:39] Sana**
Y-You must be an idiot!
**[00:42] Zoroku**
I see.
**[00:56] Ichijo**
Sorry I'm late.
**[00:59] Ichijo**
I'm here to save you.
**[01:01] Ichijo**
I'm Cabinet Information Research Office
Secret Service agent Ichijo Shizuku.
**[01:07] Ichijo**
We'll be taking you two with us!

**[02:52] Waitress**
Um, I will now read back your order.
**[02:56] Waitress**
Three stewed Hamburg steak B meals,
**[02:58] Waitress**
four mozzarella pizzas,
two mushroom risottos,
**[03:02] Waitress**
three herb and chicken salads,
and three orders of focaccia.
**[03:05] Waitress**
Is that correct?
**[03:06] Kito**
Yes, and the drink bar for four, please.
**[03:10] Waitress**
Drink bar for four.
**[03:11] Waitress**
Thank you very much.
**[03:14] Kito**
Yes?
**[03:16] Kito**
What?
**[03:18] Guy**
Yes, the container holding the
Red Queen has been stolen.
**[03:23] Guy**
I believe the thief possessed
a Dream of Alice.
**[03:26] Kito**
Surely not from before.
**[03:31] Ichijo**
I strongly suggest that you retreat,
**[03:34] Ichijo**
former Second Lieutenant
Minnie C. Tachibana.
**[03:44] Minnie**
I won't let you have her.
**[03:46] Minnie**
The Red Queen is my last...
**[03:49] Ichijo**
Operation 3-1.
**[03:56] Ichijo**
#590, operation 1-8.
**[04:01] Minnie**
Different types of cards?!
**[04:07] Ichijo**
#51!
**[04:10] Ichijo**
#15!
**[04:26] Ichijo**
For now, that should stop them.
**[04:29] Ichijo**
Is either one of you hurt?
**[04:39] Noriko**
You are just the best, Ichijo-senpai!
**[04:41] Noriko**
God, you're so awesome...
**[04:44] Noriko**
I wish I could've seen you kicking
ass from down below!
***SIGN*** Voice
**[04:49] Ichijo**
*Quiet, Yamada.*
**[04:50] Ichijo**
What's happening around us?
**[04:51] Noriko**
*Oh, right.*
**[04:53] Noriko**
* No sign of the enemy within one*
* kilometer of the target ship.*
**[04:56] Noriko**
* The Mirror Gate is still responding.*
* Please be careful.*
**[05:00] Noriko**
*Just count on Yamada Noriko's special*
***SIGN*** Voice
**[05:02] Noriko**
* new and improved, pan-global,*
* Ichijo-detection system!*
**[05:06] Ichijo**
*Not necessary.*
**[05:07] Naito**
The annoying girl is Yamada,
**[05:09] Naito**
the team director of technology.
**[05:11] Naito**
I don't understand it all, but...
**[05:13] Naito**
She takes base station data
from geostationary satellites
**[05:17] Naito**
and cell phones to form a system
that locates Dreams of Alice,
**[05:21] Naito**
or more specifically, Ichijo-kun...
**[05:22] Ichijo**
*Really, she's just my stalker.*
**[05:25] Sanae**
Sta...
**[05:26] Ichijo**
* She always shows up at my*
* destinations before I do.*
**[05:29] Ichijo**
* At first, I wondered whose*
* agent she was.*
**[05:31] Noriko**
*How rude!*
**[05:31] Noriko**
*Call me your unwelcome little sister.*
**[05:34] Noriko**
*Or at least your fan!*
**[05:35] Naito**
She's the best hacker around,
**[05:38] Naito**
but she's also like this.
**[05:41] Noriko**
It did take a while to enable it to
detect anyone other than senpai,
**[05:46] Noriko**
*so locating the escort was delayed.*
**[05:48] Ichijo**
Sana-chan, I'm sorry you went
through something so scary.
**[05:53] Ichijo**
Now, let's go home.
**[05:56] Noriko**
*Senpai! Incoming!*
**[05:59] Ichijo**
#12!
**[06:03] Ichijo**
Operation 3-6.
**[06:05] Ichijo**
#21.
**[06:09] Ichijo**
They can turn invisible,
just as our intel said.
**[06:12] Ichijo**
Both of you, stay behind me.
**[06:24] Ichijo**
#576 through #580.
**[06:27] Ichijo**
Operation 2-4. Add paralysis attribute.
**[06:31] Minnie**
I remember now.
**[06:33] Minnie**
The day of the typhoon, you were
the one who got in my way.
**[06:41] Minnie**
Just what are you?
**[06:43] Minnie**
How are you able to use
so many types of cards?
**[06:46] Minnie**
Everyone should be restricted to one.
**[06:50] Ichijo**
Perhaps it's just talent?
**[06:55] Minnie**
But... But this is all I have!
**[07:04] Ichijo**
#12!
**[07:11] Minnie**
Darling,
**[07:12] Minnie**
please lend me just a bit more strength.
**[07:30] Ichijo**
*Yamada!*
**[07:30] Noriko**
Y-Yes, Senpai!
**[07:32] Ichijo**
*Don't bring the helicopter any closer.*
**[07:34] Ichijo**
*Stand by overhead!*
**[07:37] Ichijo**
Get too close, and you'll
be knocked down.
***SIGN*** Voice
**[07:58] Ichijo**
*Sana-chan...*
**[08:00] Ichijo**
*Can you hear me? This is Ichijo.*
**[08:02] Sana**
Oh...
**[08:04] Ichijo**
Take this. #66.
**[08:07] Ichijo**
*Use that to replenish your energy.*
***SIGN*** Voice
**[08:10] Sana**
What is this?
**[08:12] Ichijo**
*It's candy.*
**[08:13] Ichijo**
*It's very sweet, so eat it slowly.*
**[08:15] Ichijo**
*There's water, too.*
**[08:17] Ichijo**
I'm going to find a way
to stop that woman.
**[08:20] Ichijo**
When you get your powers back,
**[08:22] Ichijo**
take Kashimura-san and escape.
**[08:26] Ichijo**
Do you remember the helicopter
that was above?
***SIGN*** Voice
**[08:29] Ichijo**
* If you can reach it, the scary people*
* won't follow anymore.*
**[08:32] Ichijo**
*You'll win, Sana-chan!*
**[08:36] Sana**
Okay, got it.
**[08:37] Zoroku**
Hey...
**[08:38] Sana**
It'll be okay.
**[08:40] Sana**
You said it'll be okay, so it'll be okay.
**[08:45] Zoroku**
I see.
**[08:46] Sana**
Someday, I'll be the one to save you!
**[08:53] Sana**
H-Hey, I can't open this.
**[08:56] Sana**
You open it.
**[09:07] Noriko**
At eight o'clock!
**[09:08] Noriko**
No... ten o'clock...
**[09:10] Noriko**
The second row of containers!
**[09:11] Noriko**
No, wait...
**[09:12] Noriko**
Um, um...
***SIGN*** Voice
**[09:15] Ichijo**
*Calm down, Yamada.*
**[09:16] Noriko**
* I'm sorry, but there's still*
* a large margin of error.*
**[09:19] Noriko**
*I know!*
**[09:20] Noriko**
*If I tell myself you're the target,*
**[09:22] Noriko**
* my motivation and accuracy*
* will exponentially increase!*
**[09:24] Ichijo**
That's enough of that!
**[09:25] Ichijo**
#381!
**[09:30] Ichijo**
* She stays hidden, while the invisible*
* arms strike with precision.*
**[09:34] Ichijo**
*Where is she?*
**[09:39] Noriko**
Senpai!
**[09:44] Ichijo**
Yamada... Where is she?
**[09:46] Noriko**
*Oh, right!*
**[09:49] Noriko**
Stay calm...
**[09:50] Noriko**
*Stay calm...*
**[09:54] Noriko**
*I found her!*
**[09:56] Noriko**
At three o'clock, the seventh
row of containers!
**[09:58] Noriko**
*I'm such a genius!*
**[10:07] Minnie**
This is the end.
**[10:11] Ichijo**
I really don't like it
**[10:14] Ichijo**
when I have to get serious.
**[10:32] Ichijo**
#1!
**[10:35] Noriko**
There it is!
**[10:37] Noriko**
#1!
**[10:41] Noriko**
#2.
**[10:43] Noriko**
#3.
**[10:48] Ichijo**
I hate using the single digits.
**[10:52] Ichijo**
I can't pull punches with them.
**[10:54] Minnie**
Just what are you?!
**[10:58] Witch**
*All right!*
**[10:59] Witch**
*Let's do it!*
**[11:05] Witch**
*#12.*
**[11:06] Witch**
*Operation 1-8.*
**[11:47] Minnie**
Stay out of
**[11:49] Minnie**
our way!
**[11:58] Ichijo**
Didn't I tell you...
**[12:05] Ichijo**
I can't pull punches.
**[12:21] Ichijo**
Former Second Lieutenant
Minnie C. Tachibana,
**[12:24] Ichijo**
you are under immediate arrest
**[12:26] Ichijo**
for abduction of a minor,
assault, and bodily harm.
**[12:33] Ichijo**
This is a magic storeroom that
some maid in an anime used.
**[12:39] Ichijo**
It showed up one night, after I'd
fallen asleep with the TV on.
**[12:44] Ichijo**
666 weapons and 13 grimoires
are stored inside.
**[12:49] Ichijo**
I'm basically a human weapon.
**[12:51] Ichijo**
Ridiculous, isn't it?
**[12:54] Ichijo**
I don't believe
**[12:56] Ichijo**
these are things that appear for the
purpose of granting our wishes.
**[13:04] Minnie**
*Out of energy...*
**[13:19] Minnie**
*How long have I been alone?*
**[13:25] Minnie**
* Long ago, I realized that the*
* gears had slipped off-track.*
**[13:29] Minnie**
*But still, I am unable to stop.*
**[13:33] Minnie**
*What am I to do?*
**[13:35] Minnie**
*To think that I must... go on living.*
**[13:40] Minnie**
*Tomorrow, the next day, and beyond.*
**[13:45] Minnie**
*I am sorry, darling...*
**[13:48] Minnie**
*I'm sorry that I am still alive.*
**[13:54] Minnie**
*I'm sorry!*
**[14:14] Sana**
Hey, Zoroku.
**[14:17] Zoroku**
What?
**[14:19] Sana**
I think I'm going to cause
more trouble for people,
**[14:24] Sana**
just by existing in the outside world.
**[14:26] Sana**
Even if I don't, I'll probably
still make lots of mistakes.
**[14:31] Sana**
I don't know why I was made this way,
**[14:36] Sana**
in this form,
**[14:39] Sana**
but someone made me.
**[14:41] Sana**
Within this world,
**[14:43] Sana**
someone wanted me to do
something in human form.
**[14:50] Sana**
You know, Zoroku...
**[14:53] Sana**
I want to be human!
**[14:59] Sana**
Or if not human, I want to
be something more real.
**[15:03] Sana**
I don't know how to say it, but...
**[15:05] Sana**
I want to know lots more!
**[15:07] Sana**
About humans, about you and Sanae,
**[15:11] Sana**
and about how much there
is to this world.
**[15:14] Sana**
I want to eat lots of delicious things!
**[15:17] Sana**
By doing that, I want to become
something more real.
**[15:21] Sana**
And one day, I want to find
out why I was made,
**[15:24] Sana**
and why I'm not human—
**[15:28] Sana**
I'm hungry.
**[15:31] Zoroku**
Someday, you'll understand it all.
**[15:34] Sana**
Yeah.
**[15:49] Sana**
And my hair...
**[15:51] Sana**
I can do it myself, but I want
Sanae to do it for me.
**[15:54] Zoroku**
Ask her when we get back.
**[15:57] Sana**
Yeah!
**[16:16] Zoroku**
That's a nice view...
**[16:18] Zoroku**
Pretty amazing.
**[16:20] Sana**
Isn't it?
**[16:21] Sana**
I can do anything!
**[16:46] Waitress**
Thank you very much.
**[16:47] Kito**
Yes, that's right.
**[16:49] Kito**
The situation's changed.
**[16:50] Kito**
Dispose of all the Dreams of Alice data.
**[16:53] Kito**
And until you hear from me again...
**[16:55] Guy**
Kito Koichi-san, correct?
**[16:58] Kito**
That's right.
**[16:59] Guy**
Oh, pardon me...
**[17:01] Guy**
I'm with the Yotsuya police.
**[17:08] Naito**
I'm really sorry about this, old man.
**[17:11] Naito**
Given the commotion this
ended up involving,
**[17:14] Naito**
life will probably be noisy for a while.
**[17:17] Naito**
You might as well give up.
**[17:19] Zoroku**
*Hmph!*
**[17:21] Naito**
Well, on that note.
**[17:23] Naito**
Where are you now?
**[17:26] Zoroku**
I don't know.
**[17:28] Zoroku**
I'm in the sky.
***SIGN*** Voice
**[17:31] Naito**
*Well, that's fine.*
**[17:33] Naito**
* Just try not to let people see*
* you or take pictures.*
**[17:35] Naito**
*It'd make my life hell.*
**[17:37] Zoroku**
Hear that, Sana?
**[17:39] Sana**
B-But it wasn't me...
**[17:41] Sana**
This wasn't on purpose!
**[17:43] Zoroku**
Every now and then, I guess it's fine.
**[17:45] Zoroku**
Not every day you get to
fly around in the sky.
**[17:49] Naito**
*What the hell?*
**[17:50] Naito**
* It grosses me out when*
* you're in a good mood.*
**[17:53] Zoroku**
Does it?
**[17:54] Zoroku**
Well, it happens sometimes.
***SIGN*** Voice
**[17:56] Zoroku**
After all, I got another
granddaughter today.
**[17:59] Zoroku**
Sanae will be happy, too.
**[18:03] Sanae**
You idiot!
**[18:07] Sana**
H-Hey, Zoroku.
**[18:11] Sana**
Um...
**[18:13] Sana**
I'm sorry I knocked over those vases today.
**[18:17] Zoroku**
You should say those things sooner.
**[18:20] Sana**
Okay.
**[18:23] Zoroku**
Let's go home.
**[18:28] Sana**
Yeah.
**[18:38] Sanae**
* And that was how our family*
* gained a new member today.*
***SIGN*** Authorized Personnel Only Past This Point
**[18:47] Sanae**
*Ichijo-san and the others said*
**[18:49] Sanae**
* the scary organization that had*
* held Sana-chan prisoner*
**[18:53] Sanae**
*was dismantled shortly after that.*
**[18:57] Sanae**
*And after the incident,*
**[18:59] Sanae**
* the people opposing Naito-san*
* and his team quieted down.*
**[19:03] Sanae**
*Grandpa complained*
**[19:05] Sanae**
* that the way Naito-san had*
* used him disgusted him.*
**[19:10] Sanae**
*The military lady who took Sana-chan*
**[19:13] Sanae**
*returned to her own country due to a...*
**[19:16] Sanae**
*protection agreement or something?*
**[20:12] Sana**
Oh, welcome back, Sanae.
**[20:14] Sanae**
Thanks, Sana-chan.
**[20:20] Sanae**
Going to water the flowers?
**[20:22] Sane**
Yep, that's my job.
**[20:25] Sana**
When the soil's dry, give them water.
**[20:31] Sana**
Looks like you don't need
water too badly today.
**[20:34] Sana**
That's because it rained a
little bit yesterday.
**[20:40] Sana**
I see!
**[20:42] Sanae**
*She's so cute!*
**[20:46] Sana**
Prune the wilted blossoms...
**[20:53] Sana**
There.
**[20:59] Sana**
This looks great!
**[21:00] Sanae**
Okay, let's eat.
**[21:02] Sana**
Yeah.
**[21:03] Sanae**
By the way... Lately, you seem
to have more stamina, huh?
**[21:07] Sanae**
Let's all go somewhere to play soon.
**[21:11] Sana**
Okay!
**[21:12] Sana**
What's "play"?
**[21:13] Sana**
Where are we going?
**[21:14] Sanae**
Maybe a theme park or a zoo!
**[21:17] Sanae**
I bet you've never been to a zoo, right?
**[21:21] Sanae**
Or an aquarium...
**[21:24] Sana**
Aqua... What is that?
**[21:27] Sanae**
Or a hot spring.
**[21:29] Sana**
Hot spring?
**[21:29] Sana**
What's a hot spring?
**[21:30] Sanae**
Oh, hot springs are great.
**[21:33] Sanae**
They're paradise!
**[21:35] Sana**
Paradise?
**[21:36] Sana**
Is that amazing?
**[21:37] Zoroku**
For now, let's just eat.
**[21:43] All**
Time to eat.
**[21:44] Sana**
Time to eat!
**[21:47] Naito**
Sounds like they're having a great time.
**[21:49] Ichijo**
It sure does.
**[21:52] Naito**
So peaceful.
**[21:54] Naito**
Little to do...
**[21:56] Naito**
I wish we'd have another incident.
**[22:01] Ichijo**
That's so rash.
