[00:05] Ikaruga
    You wanted to see me?
[00:10] Sougetsu
    Look at this and tell me what you think.
SIGN    Lost Matrix Investigation Report
[00:13] Ikaruga
    What is this?
[00:15] Sougetsu
    A picture taken by our undercover spy
     at Alchemist Corporation.
[00:20] Sougetsu
    In the picture, you'll see a dark elf cell,
[00:23] Sougetsu
    a.k.a the Lost Matrix.
[00:26] Sougetsu
    Alchemist wants to use this to make weapons.
[00:31] Ikaruga
    Ridiculous.
[00:34] Ikaruga
    Be it dark elves, dragons, or whatever,
[00:37] Ikaruga
    no one has ever succeeded at
     cloning a legendary creature.
[00:41] Ikaruga
    And there aren't any cells left to research.
[00:45] Sougetsu
    Exactly.
[00:46] Sougetsu
    Even the Lost Matrix, which was preserved
    in the best condition known to man,
[00:50] Sougetsu
    is said to have gone missing four years ago.
[00:53] Sougetsu
    Judging from your surname, Suginami,
[00:56] Sougetsu
    I assume that before enrolling here,
[00:57] Sougetsu
    you were working at Alchemist as
     a genius researcher they created.
[01:03] Sougetsu
    You were what they call a designer child.
[01:08] Sougetsu
    Is there anything you'd like to tell me?
[01:11] Ikaruga
    I've already told you everything
     I know about Alchemist.
[01:15] Ikaruga
    Excuse me.
[01:19] Kurogane
    She clearly knows.
[01:20] Kurogane
    We should lock her up and make her
     tell us where the Lost Matrix is.
[01:24] Sougetsu
    Not only is that a barbaric idea,
    it's also utterly boring.
[01:28] Sougetsu
    I think we should wait and see what she does.
[01:31] Sougetsu
    The more cards we have to play
     against Alchemist, the better.
[01:36] Kurogane
    What are you thinking?
[01:37] Kurogane
    A trade? Blackmail?
[01:40] Kurogane
    All-out war?
[01:45] Sougetsu
    Who knows?
[01:46] Sougetsu
    But when the time comes, you may find that
    all three of those options are one and the same.
[01:53] Ikaruga
    Four years, huh? Time sure does fly.
[01:57] Ikaruga
    It's me.
[01:58] Ikaruga
    It's been a while. How've you been?
SIGN    Episode 7: "Traitor"
[03:32] Boy A
    Our platoon is in trouble!
[03:34] Boy A
    We don't have enough
     points to pass the year.
[03:36] Boy B
    We're almost there. We'll make it somehow.
[03:39] Boy C
    What's with that short bar?
[03:42] Boy B
    Oh, that's the Small Fry Platoon.
[03:46] Takeru
    There are fewer platoons than before.
[03:51] Mari
    And yet we're still dead last?
[03:53] Usagi
    What? Here to ridicule us?
[03:56] Mari
    Yep. I came to make fun of you, Usagi-chan.
[03:59] Usagi
    But you're in this platoon, too!
[04:01] Usagi
    You lack both responsibility and breasts!
[04:04] Mari
    What are you saying?
    I've got plenty of responsibility!
[04:07] Mari
    Wait, no! I meant I also have responsibility!
[04:08] (Flashback) Ouka
    So we really aren't doing too well, huh?
[04:11] Takeru
    I have no excuse.
[04:12] Ikaruga
    Kusanagi.
[04:14] Takeru
    Hey. Took you long enough.
    What were you doing?
[04:17] Ikaruga
    What was I doing?
[04:19] Ikaruga
    I could tell you,
[04:21] Ikaruga
    but are you sure you can handle the truth?
[04:25] Takeru
    Why are you spouting lines
     straight out of some dramatic scene?
[04:28] Ikaruga
    Your noble "I'll carry half your burden" line
[04:30] Ikaruga
    may have worked on them,
     but I won't go gaga over you so easily!
[04:35] Ouka
    Wh-Who's going gaga for whom?!
[04:38] Mari
    I mean, as if!
[04:39] Usagi
    That is the rudest thing you could say!
[04:41] Ikaruga
    Oh, how I envy you, lady killer.
[04:44] Takeru
    What the hell is with you right now?!
[04:46] Takeru
    We ought to be focusing on
     how we need more points!
[04:48] Ikaruga
    Shall I hack into the academy's database
[04:52] Ikaruga
    and find a shady mission for us?
[04:54] (Flashback) Takeru
    What are you...
[04:54] Usagi
    Please don't!
[04:57] Usagi
    The other test platoons are
     probably already aware of
[05:00] Usagi
    any cases in town that'd help us score points.
[05:03] Usagi
    I think the only place we can find
    anything worthwhile is at the border.
[05:07] Mari
    You guys underestimate the slums.
[05:10] Mari
    If you guys passed our security checkpoint,
    you'd be killed five times in under a minute.
[05:13] Ouka
    Every year, there's at least one
     freshman platoon which gets cocky,
[05:16] Ouka
    goes to the border,
     and gets completely wiped out.
[05:20] Usagi
    So our only option is to go after Mossie,
     the giant serpent in the ancient sewers!
[05:24] Ouka
    That's not real.
[05:26] Mari
    You really are a child.
[05:29] Mari
    Damn it!
[05:30] Takeru
    Not joining in?
[05:32] Ikaruga
    I'm not in the mood today.
[05:34] Mari
    You guys are no fun at all!
[05:38] Takeru
    This is terrifyingly bad.
[05:41] Ikaruga
    We show zero signs of progress.
[05:43] Ikaruga
    Nothing's changed at all.
[05:45] Ikaruga
    We're still the Small Fry Platoon.
[05:47] Takeru
    Been that way since it was just you and me.
[05:50] Ikaruga
    What do you mean,
    "since it was just you and me"?
[05:54] Ikaruga
    You make us sound like a married couple.
[05:59] Takeru
    Is teasing me really that much fun?
[06:02] Ikaruga
    Well, then.
[06:04] Ikaruga
    I'm taking a leave of absence
    from school for a while.
[06:07] Ikaruga
    Have fun.
[06:07] Usagi
    Huh?
[06:08] Mari
    Leave of absence?
[06:09] Ouka
    Why?
[06:10] Ikaruga
    I could tell you,
[06:13] Ikaruga
    but are you sure you can handle the tru—
[06:15] Takeru
    Enough of that already!
[06:19] Ikaruga
    Well, you kids,
[06:21] Ikaruga
    do your best even when I'm gone.
[06:25] Takeru
    Hey, wait!
[06:26] Ikaruga
    Bye-bye.
[06:38] (Flashback) Ikaruga
    Why didn't you draw your sword?
[06:42] (Flashback) Takeru
    On an unarmed opponent?
[06:45] (Flashback) Takeru
    My pride wouldn't allow that.
[06:48] (Flashback) Ikaruga
    You've got one strange sense of pride.
[06:52] (Flashback) Ikaruga
    You're amusing. I like you.
[06:56] (Flashback) Ikaruga
    I like people who stick out.
[07:00] Usagi
    What's wrong, Kusanagi?
[07:03] Takeru
    She just said bye-bye.
[07:06] Takeru
    That's the first time
    she's ever said good-bye.
[07:09] Mari
    What do you mean?
[07:10] Usagi
    Now that you mention it,
     Suginami has been acting strange today.
[07:21] Haunted
    Grief looks so stylish on a scientist's face.
[07:25] Haunted
    Right, Suginami Isuka-san?
[07:27] Isuka
    Grief? What is that?
[07:29] Haunted
    A marvelous emotion that
    brings out a woman's beauty.
[07:33] Haunted
    It truly is a sight to behold!
[07:36] Isuka
    Is that so? Not that I understand.
[07:39] Haunted
    It's like beholding a girl
    who was defiled and then ignored.
[07:43] Haunted
    Makes you want to take her in your arms.
[07:45] Isuka
    Do you want to take me?
[07:49] Isuka
    Feel free.
[07:51] Isuka
    Oh, and I say this, fully aware of the
     sexual connotations involved.
[07:54] Haunted
    No, thanks.
[07:55] Haunted
    I'm afraid I've gone limp.
[07:57] Haunted
    Are all of the Suginamis like you?
[08:01] Haunted
    Why don't you try enjoying a life
     more befitting of humans?
[08:04] Isuka
    Research is the only thing that interests us.
[08:07] Haunted
    So, did you manage to resurrect the elves?
[08:11] Isuka
    No. It ended in failure.
[08:12] Isuka
    I'm nowhere close to resurrecting dark elves.
[08:15] Haunted
    Why are you so obsessed with dark elves?
[08:19] Haunted
    I can't help but feel it stems
     from a deep-rooted hatred.
[08:23] Isuka
    Sorry to disappoint you,
[08:26] Isuka
    but I possess nothing of the sort.
[08:34] Haunted
    Then why did you betray Alchemist
[08:37] Haunted
    to join us in Valhalla?
[08:41] Isuka
    At the end of the day,
    Alchemist is a corporation.
[08:43] Isuka
    If I work here, I'm only allowed
    to create what they request of me.
[08:48] Haunted
    So when you ordered me to
     kill all the scientists here,
[08:53] Haunted
    it was not because of a grudge,
     but for a practical reason?
[08:57] Isuka
    Of course.
[08:58] Haunted
    Don't you have any regard for human lives?!
[09:02] Haunted
    I love people! I love killing people!
[09:05] Haunted
    That is why I kill!
[09:06] Isuka
    Wait. Why are you angry?
[09:09] Haunted
    I demand that you feel some
     kind of emotion when killing!
[09:12] Haunted
    Hatred, love, anger, anything.
[09:15] Haunted
    Otherwise, the people getting killed
     would be dying for nothing!
[09:20] Isuka
    I don't understand your rationale,
     but I didn't kill them.
[09:24] Isnua
    You did.
[09:27] Haunted
    What a fool I've been.
[09:29] Haunted
    I guess scientists and wizards
     really do mix like oil and water.
[09:33] Isuka
    Yes, but just as I need your organization,
[09:36] Isuka
    your organization also needs me.
[09:40] Isuka
    I will keep my promise.
[09:42] Isuka
    I will resurrect elves.
[09:47] Haunted
    Isuka-san, do you have a headache?
[09:50] Isuka
    It's nothing.
[09:51] Isuka
    Someone just leaked me information
     about the stolen Lost Matrix.
[09:55] Haunted
    Can you trust that information?
[09:58] Isuka
    Of course I can trust it.
[10:00] Isuka
    It was leaked by the thief herself.
[10:02] Isuka
    I know her well.
[10:04] Isuka
    She is my sister.
[10:13] Takeru
    Where did she go?
[10:14] Ouka
    Based on Suginami's lack
     of athletic ability,
[10:16] Ouka
    she shouldn't be able to evade us so easily.
[10:21] Mari
    She probably went underground.
[10:23] Usagi
    But I heard it's like a labyrinth in this area,
[10:26] Usagi
    thanks to the sewer and subway tunnels.
[10:29] Ouka
    What's the plan, Kusanagi?
[10:31] Takeru
    Follow her, obviously.
[10:33] Takeru
    If she's headed for the border,
    we can't let her go alone.
[10:37] Mari
    I've memorized the
     underground labyrinth's map.
[10:39] Usagi
    But how does that help us
     if we don't know Suginami's location?
[10:49] Lapis
    Are you in need of assistance, my host?
[11:04] Ikaruga
    I brought the Lost Matrix with me.
[11:07] Ikaruga
    So you'd better hold up your end of the deal.
[11:09] Isuka
    You want me to let you
     observe the experiments, right?
[11:13] Ikaruga
    Yeah. That.
[11:14] Isuka
    Coming back now doesn't mean
     you'll still have a place here, you know.
[11:18] Ikaruga
    I don't care.
[11:20] Ikaruga
    I'm only interested in resurrecting the elves.
[11:23] Isuka
    Then why did you steal it four years ago?
[11:25] Ikaruga
    If I had stayed at Alchemist,
[11:28] Ikaruga
    I would have just been executed.
[11:31] Ikaruga
    That's why I decided to leave and
     continue experimenting on the outside.
[11:36] Isuka
    You're lying.
[11:37] Isuka
    What's your real scheme?
[11:39] Ikaruga
    Say, don't you think this back-and-forth
    is a little pointless?
[11:42] Ikaruga
    You want the Lost Matrix.
[11:44] Ikaruga
    I want to go back.
[11:46] Ikaruga
    What's the problem?
[11:48] Isuka
    If you try to get in my way again,
[11:51] Isuka
    I will show you no mercy this time.
[12:01] Ikaruga
    An escort? How sweet of you.
[12:05] Takeru
    Why is this happening!
[12:08] Lapis
    My host, the location I gave you was correct.
[12:11] Usagi
    Why'd we end up
     walking in on a mafia trade?!
[12:13] Ouka
    Who was it that said that exit was safe?!
[12:16] Mari
    Come on! Give me a break!
    The last time I was here was six months ago!
[12:20] Usagi
    You useless oaf!
[12:21] Takeru
    Lapis! Do you have Suginami's signal?
[12:23] Lapis
    South-southeast. To the left.
[12:28] Takeru
    Mari!
[12:41] Ouka
    Kusanagi! Get Suginami!
[12:49] Takeru
    Are you okay?
[12:50] Ikaruga
    You followed me?
[12:51] Takeru
    You can complain all you want later.
[12:54] Takeru
    For now, we need to back them up!
[12:55] Ikaruga
    You guys can't deal with them.
[12:57] Takeru
    What are you saying?!
[12:58] Takeru
    Ohtori can handle it.
[13:00] Ouka
    Take Suginami and get...
[13:10] Takeru
    We're getting out of here. Can you stand?
[13:13] Takeru
    Are there any hiding places nearby?
[13:16] Takeru
    You wait right there.
[13:19] Ikaruga
    What about you?
[13:21] Takeru
    I need to go find the others.
[13:24] Takeru
    I lost communication...
[13:30] Ikaruga
    I'll take you to my safe house.
[13:33] Takeru
    That won't do.
[13:35] Ikaruga
    Shut up. Don't piss me off
    any more than you already have.
[13:39] Takeru
    Let me go. The others...
[13:41] Ikaruga
    You reap what you sow.
[13:44] Takeru
    You...
[13:56] Ikaruga
    Isuka? Sorry, plans went haywire.
[14:00] Isuka
    Is this a trap?
[14:02] Isuka
    You did a very foolish thing.
[14:04] Ikaruga
    Don't misunderstand. I just messed up.
[14:06] Ikaruga
    They're an Academy test platoon.
[14:09] Ikaruga
    They're my...
[14:11] Ikaruga
    ...acquaintances.
[14:12] Isuka
    You expect me to believe that?
[14:13] Ikaruga
    Then let me give you some advice.
[14:16] Ikaruga
    Hire better mercenaries next time!
[14:19] Ikaruga
    If any platoon members are killed,
[14:23] Ikaruga
    you can kiss the Lost Matrix goodbye.
[14:31] Sougetsu
    So you're saying these incidents
     weren't caused by Alchemist itself,
[14:36] Sougetsu
    but by its rogue fifth research facility?
[14:41] Suzaku
    Yes. Alchemist has never authorized elf research.
[14:45] Sougetsu
    As senior management,
     you can't just pass the buck.
[14:49] Suzaku
    I am quite aware of this.
[14:51] Suzaku
    As a token of our apology,
[14:53] Suzaku
    we'll provide you with 150
     of our latest dragoons for free.
[14:58] Suzaku
    It is my hope that they may aid you
     in crushing the fifth research facility.
[15:03] [Messenger] Phone
    Outside Line:
    
    Ohtori Sougetsu
[15:04] Sougetsu
    As far as crushing goes, we don't
    need your company's assistance.
[15:07] Suzaku
    Of course.
[15:09] Suzaku
    Please, destroy it thoroughly.
[15:12] Suzaku
    Alchemist looks forward to
     doing further business with you.
[15:19] Sougetsu
    Cheeky little vixen...
[15:23] Sougetsu
    This is an emergency.
[15:25] Sougetsu
    Gather all available witch hunters
     and knights at the front gate.
[15:29] Kurogane
    What's happening, Mr. Chairman?
[15:31] Sougetsu
    Oh, nothing.
[15:33] Sougetsu
    Just going to war.
[15:36] Usagi
    Wh-What's to become of me?
[15:39] Usagi
    Machines inspected every nook and cranny
     of my body, treating me like an object...
[15:42] Usagi
    Now I'll never be able to get married!
[15:44] Mari
    Jeez, how much of a prude are you?
[15:47] Ouka
    Never mind that.
[15:48] Ouka
    You were an information broker
     at the border, right?
[15:51] Ouka
    What is Alchemist scheming?
[15:54] Mari
    Just a hunch, but...
[15:56] Mari
    There was this rumor that Alchemist
     was trying to resurrect elves.
[16:01] Ouka
    Elves? Ridiculous.
[16:02] Ouka
    Utterly unrealistic.
[16:04] Mari
    I said it was a rumor, didn't I?
[16:06] Mari
    If that were possible, Alchemist would've
     taken control of the world by now.
[16:11] Mari
    It's just a pipe dream...
[16:12] Isuka
    No. It's not merely a pipe dream.
[16:14] Ouka
    Suginami?
[16:15] Ouka
    No... Who are you?
[16:17] Isuka
    I am Suginami Isuka.
[16:20] Isuka
    Ikaruga's sister.
[16:22] Ouka
    What?!
[16:23] Isuka
    I find it hard to believe that someone with her
     personality could fit in with normal people like you.
[16:29] Isuka
    Is it true?
[16:32] Isuka
    Are you really her friends?
[16:33] Isuka
    Or are you her pawns?
[16:36] Usagi
    We are her friends!
[16:37] Usagi
    I know her much better than you do, at least!
[16:42] Isuka
    Better than me?
[16:45] Isuka
    What can you possibly know about her?
[16:48] Isuka
    Like me, she is a weapon who is only
    nourished by her impulse for inquiry.
[16:54] Isuka
    She is only interested in things that stick out.
[16:57] Isuka
    She sees no value in anything that doesn't.
[16:59] Isuka
    That's the kind of girl she is.
[17:01] Usagi
    Don't lump her with you!
[17:04] Isuka
    Fine. Let me tell you just
    what kind of person she is.
[17:10] (Flashback) Scientist 1
    I heard she was disposed of last week.
[17:13] (Flashback) Scientist 2
    She wasn't very well-made for a Suginami.
[17:17] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    We transplanted a human brain into a griffin.
[17:20] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Aren't we amazing?
[17:21] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    We also invented a mind-controlling gas
     that makes people kill each other.
[17:25] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    Praise us! Praise us!
[17:26] (Flashback) ---
    Praise us!
SIGN    Canary's
    House
[17:32] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Hey, Isuka. What's a mother?
[17:35] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    The egg provider, right?
[17:38] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Oh...
[17:39] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    Why would you ask me that?
[17:42] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    What's that book?
SIGN    Kanaria the Canary's
    House
[17:44] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    The sample that was brought
    here the other day had it.
[17:48] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    Is it a genetic engineering textbook?
[17:50] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    Is it about transplanting
     a bird's brain into a human?
[17:53] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    No, it's about a bird, left alone
     after the death of her mother,
[17:57] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    becoming a human and starting a family.
[18:00] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    It's a fairy tale. In other words,
     a story that teaches a moral lesson.
[18:04] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    Throw it out.
[18:06] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    If you're caught with it,
    you'll get more than a spanking!
[18:09] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Hey, Isuka...
[18:11] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    What's family? What's friends?
[18:15] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    What's comrades?
[18:17] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    I don't know. That's outside my expertise.
[18:20] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Isuka, this place is too cramped for me.
[18:30] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    A wood elf with no mana, eh?
[18:33] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    The resurrection has failed.
[18:35] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Now I'll finally be thrown out.
[18:39] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    Ikaruga!
[18:42] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    You created this on purpose, didn't you?
[18:44] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    Were you hoping to be thrown out?!
[18:49] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    Do you realize what you've done?!
[18:58] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    So that's how this place works.
[19:05] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Hey, what does sadness feel like?
[19:08] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    How do you feel about being
    killed as a test subject?
[19:18] (Flashback) Elf
    Mama!
[19:27] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Kanaria.
[19:28] (Flashback) Wood elf
    Kanaria...
[19:30] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    That's right. Kanaria.
     That's your name.
[19:48] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    You are my other half.
[19:51] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    I need you, and you need me.
[19:55] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    Am I wrong?
[19:56] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Isuka, let's run away together!
[20:00] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    All I want is to continue
    doing research with you here!
[20:03] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    Why doesn't that satisfy you?
[20:06] (Flashback) Announcer
    The Lost Matrix has just been
    stolen from within the facility.
[20:09] (Flashback) Announcer
    All units on red alert!
[20:11] (Flashback) Kid-Isuka
    What have you done?
[20:13] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    I'm sorry.
[20:14] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Bye-bye, Isuka.
[20:26] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    Kanaria! We're leav—
[20:29] (Flashback) Kid-Ikaruga
    No way...
[20:41] Ikaruga
    There you have it. Everything I've done.
[20:45] Ikaruga
    I came to Anti-Magic Academy
[20:47] Ikaruga
    to keep the Lost Matrix away from Alchemist.
[20:50] Ikaruga
    I figured they couldn't attack
     an Inquisition institution.
[20:57] Takeru
    That's the first time you've
     ever talked about yourself.
[21:00] Ikaruga
    It's not like you ever asked me to.
[21:02] Ikaruga
    Even if you had,
    I wouldn't have told you anything.
[21:05] Takeru
    Figures.
[21:07] Ikaruga
    So now you know.
[21:09] Ikaruga
    That I'm a Suginami through and through.
[21:13] Ikaruga
    I'm honestly not sure if I have
     any sense of right or wrong.
[21:18] Takeru
    Then why did you leave the academy
     and come to the border by yourself?
[21:25] Takeru
    When you found out they were planning
    on resurrecting the dark elves,
[21:28] Takeru
    why did you attempt to cut a deal
    with them using the Lost Matrix?
[21:33] Takeru
    What do you really want?
[21:36] Ikaruga
    What would you do if I told you?
[21:39] Takeru
    I'd help.
[21:40] Ikaruga
    What if it's something bad?
[21:42] Takeru
    Then I'd stop you.
[21:47] Ikaruga
    You resembled me before.
[21:50] Ikaruga
    Being with you put me at ease.
[21:54] Ikaruga
    Do you understand
     where I'm going with this?
[21:57] Takeru
    Huh?
[21:59] Takeru
    Wh-What are you doing?
[22:01] Ikaruga
    This might be good-bye,
[22:03] Ikaruga
    so I want to experience it while I still can.
[22:06] Takeru
    Experience what?!
[22:08] Ikaruga
    Sex.
[22:09] (Flashback) Takeru
    Se—
