"Major: Inquesta; Student No.:

**[02:02] ---**
Free study class at Assault?
**[02:04] ---**
I'm teaming up with Aria.
**[02:06] ---**
And, it's just for one case. That's all.
**[02:10] ---**
Oh, really?
**[02:12] ---**
Oh, yeah! You go to the arcade, right, Kii?
**[02:16] ---**
Hm?
**[02:16] ---**
Someone gave me a ticket for
game tokens, so I'll give it to you.
**[02:21] ---**
Here you go.
**[02:21] ---**
"Video Game Token Ticket"
**[02:22] ---**
It's good through today,
but I'm not going, so...
**[02:25] ---**
O-Okay.
**[02:27] ---**
*Gold, huh? Underwear sure
does come in a lot of colors.*

"Episode 3: First Mission"
**[02:42] ---**
Kinji! You came back to Assault?!
**[02:45] ---**
No! I'm here for a free study class!
**[02:46] ---**
Kinji! So you're finally back!
I knew you'd be back!
**[02:50] ---**
All right! The entertainment is here!
**[02:52] ---**
I didn't come here to entertain you jerks!
**[02:55] ---**
Kinji! I thought that
you'd come back to Assault!
**[02:58] ---**
This is the one and only place for you!
**[03:00] ---**
Don't worry! We'll be friends
even with a moron like you.
**[03:04] ---**
Shut up! I refuse!
**[03:08] ---**
Why the heck did I come back?
**[03:11] ---**
Kinji...
**[03:14] ---**
Aria...
**[03:16] ---**
Well then, see you later, Kinji.
**[03:18] ---**
Huh?
**[03:24] ---**
You're popular, aren't you?
**[03:26] ---**
I don't wanna be popular
with guys like that.
**[03:29] ---**
At this school, no one comes near me.
**[03:33] ---**
My abilities are so far beyond theirs
that no one can keep up with me.
**[03:36] ---**
I see...
**[03:38] ---**
You're a solo act,
just like your name, Aria.
**[03:41] ---**
I'm surprised you know what it means.
**[03:45] ---**
That's right.
**[03:46] ---**
An aria is a solo piece in opera,
a part sung by just one person.
**[03:50] ---**
So, by making me your slave, are you
going to make it a "duet" or something?
**[03:57] ---**
You can say funny things, huh?
**[03:59] ---**
What's so funny?
I don't get your sense of humor.
**[04:02] ---**
Up until yesterday,
**[04:04] ---**
you looked distressed,
like you were lying to yourself.
**[04:07] ---**
But you're charming right now.
**[04:09] ---**
That's not true.
**[04:12] ---**
Kinji?
**[04:13] ---**
Go home without me.
I'm gonna stop by the arcade.
**[04:16] ---**
Arcade? What's that?
**[04:18] ---**
A video arcade. You didn't know that?
**[04:22] ---**
I grew up abroad. I can't help it.
**[04:25] ---**
Oh, yeah. I'll make an exception
today and play with you as a reward.
**[04:29] ---**
You mean "as punishment," right?
**[04:40] ---**
Beat it.
**[04:41] ---**
No!
**[04:42] ---**
Beat it!
**[04:43] ---**
No! No! No!
**[05:01] ---**
What's the matter? Haven't you
seen one of those before?
**[05:04] ---**
They're cute...
**[05:05] ---**
Huh?
**[05:08] ---**
*Hey, hey...*
**[05:09] ---**
Do you wanna try?
**[05:11] ---**
I don't know how to.
**[05:13] ---**
Anyone can play this.
**[05:16] ---**
Do you want me to teach you how?
**[05:45] ---**
All those tries up
until now were practice!
**[05:47] ---**
That was a lot of practice, wasn't it?
**[05:49] ---**
Shut up! This time I'm
seriously gonna get serious!
**[05:52] ---**
Serious! Serious! Serious! Se-ri-ous!
**[05:58] ---**
I guess it can't be helped.
Now, let me try.
**[06:13] ---**
Wow! They're cute!
**[06:20] ---**
*She can actually make
an expression like that?*
**[06:24] ---**
Hi there! I'm Leo-pon!
**[06:26] ---**
What a coincidence! I'm Leo-pon, too.
**[06:28] ---**
What the heck?
**[06:37] ---**
I'll give you one of them.
**[06:38] ---**
You were the one who won
them, so this is a reward.
**[06:41] ---**
O-Okay.
**[07:01] ---**
Hm?
**[07:11] ---**
This is why I don't like cheap stuff.
**[07:17] ---**
"Tokyo Butei High School Men's
Dormitory Building ♪3"
**[07:18] ---**
Things go smoothly in the
morning when Aria isn't around.
**[07:21] ---**
I can catch my usual bus in plenty of...
**[07:23] ---**
Ah!
**[07:26] ---**
Muto?! Which means, that's the 7:58 bus?!
**[07:40] ---**
"To: Butei High School"
**[07:44] ---**
I'm sorry. I thought
I put my cell on vibrate.
**[07:48] ---**
There is a bomb planted on this bus.
**[07:53] ---**
I'm out of luck.
**[07:57] ---**
Hello?
**[07:58] ---**
Kinji?! Where are you right now?!
**[08:00] ---**
I'm heading to school right now.
**[08:02] ---**
What is it? Is something wrong?
**[08:03] ---**
A bus has been hijacked!
**[08:07] ---**
"To: Butei High School"
**[08:08] ---**
If you reduce the speed, it will explode.
**[08:11] ---**
I-Is it really a bus-jacking?
**[08:13] ---**
It's almost certainly the case.
**[08:16] ---**
A similar thing happened to my friend...
**[08:19] ---**
Passengers, do not resist.
**[08:22] ---**
Shiranui! Did you find the bomb?
**[08:30] ---**
Heed my warning.
**[08:42] ---**
Everyone, duck!
**[08:50] ---**
A bus-jacking?!
**[08:51] ---**
Right. The bus hijacked was school bus ♪G3.
**[08:55] ---**
It's the one bound for Butei High
that left the men's dorm at 7:58.
**[08:59] ---**
7:58?! That's the one
Muto and the others are on!
**[09:06] ---**
Is that really true?!
**[09:11] ---**
At 8 this morning,
I intercepted a radio frequency
**[09:13] ---**
that the culprit always
uses when committing crimes.
**[09:16] ---**
There's no mistake
that the G3 is the target.
**[09:19] ---**
Kinji, the culprit is the *Butei* killer.
**[09:21] ---**
*Butei* killer? Hold on a sec.
The killer was already arrested, right?
**[09:26] ---**
The real culprit is still out there.
**[09:28] ---**
What?! What the heck do you mean?
**[09:30] ---**
Butei Charter Article 1!
"Trust in your comrades and help them!"
**[09:35] ---**
The victims are our comrades at Butei High.
**[09:37] ---**
No more explanation is needed.
**[09:40] ---**
You...
**[09:41] ---**
The bus could blow up at any time,
even at this very moment!
**[09:48] ---**
Okay, I got it. I'll do it.
**[09:51] ---**
Our mission is to save everyone in the bus.
**[09:53] ---**
Of course!
**[09:54] ---**
I won't let the *Butei
*killer have his way anymore.
**[09:58] ---**
I'll be sure to rescue the hostages
and catch the *Butei* killer, too.
**[10:21] ---**
A-Are you okay?
**[10:23] ---**
Ow! Bastard!
**[10:25] ---**
Our school uniforms may be bulletproof,
but it still hurts when we're hit!
**[10:28] ---**
Hey! Are you guys all okay?!
**[10:32] ---**
But now, we have to be extra careful.
**[10:35] ---**
Yeah, I guess.
**[10:37] ---**
Dammit!
**[10:38] ---**
He's making a fool of us!
**[10:39] ---**
Why is this happening?
**[10:42] ---**
Turn right at Hotel Gekkou.
**[10:47] ---**
Where are we headed, Aria?!
**[10:48] ---**
Odaiba. The bus is probably there.
**[10:52] ---**
How do you know?
**[10:53] ---**
A hunch.
**[10:54] ---**
Huh?!
**[10:58] ---**
Well, a culprit who's after *Butei* would
probably have the bus go to Odaiba,
**[11:02] ---**
where ordinary citizens are,
instead of Academy Island,
**[11:05] ---**
if he wants to disrupt the
*Butei*'s movements.
**[11:07] ---**
Th-That's right. That's it.
Just as I'd expect from my slave.
**[11:11] ---**
You can understand what I'm thinking.
**[11:16] ---**
Kinji, so this is the first incident
you were talking about, isn't it?
**[11:20] ---**
This is a big incident.
I've got no luck at all.
**[11:24] ---**
Keep your promise, okay?
**[11:26] ---**
I'm looking forward to seeing you
exhibit your real abilities.
**[11:29] ---**
Let me tell you something.
**[11:30] ---**
I don't have the kind of abilities
that you think I have.
**[11:34] ---**
I'm an E-ranked *Butei*.
**[11:36] ---**
Are you really sure that you wanna
take me to solve such a difficult case?
**[11:39] ---**
If, by some chance, you end up
in a pickle, I'll protect you.
**[11:43] ---**
So don't worry.
**[11:49] ---**
Shiranui! Give us a hand.
**[11:51] ---**
We'll stop that foreign car.
**[11:52] ---**
Hey! Don't be so reckless!
**[11:55] ---**
We're *Butei*!
**[11:56] ---**
We can't just back down!
**[11:59] ---**
The culprit is watching our movements.
**[12:02] ---**
I know. But we'll be in a tunnel soon.
**[12:04] ---**
The moment we go in there,
the surveillance camera will probably
**[12:07] ---**
have a time-lag while
correcting the exposure.
**[12:15] ---**
Several of us will attack
simultaneously when that happens.
**[12:17] ---**
The target is big. We can do it.
**[12:19] ---**
There're too many uncertain factors.
**[12:21] ---**
It's dangerous.
**[12:22] ---**
Forget it.
**[12:23] ---**
We'll do it ourselves.
**[12:33] ---**
Three...
**[12:35] ---**
Two...
**[12:37] ---**
One!
**[13:01] ---**
A heat sensor!
**[13:04] ---**
"To: Butei High School"
**[13:09] ---**
Dammit!
**[13:34] ---**
Hey! Are you okay?!
**[13:39] ---**
Be careful, Kinji!
**[13:40] ---**
There's a bomb planted on this bus
that explodes when the speed is reduced.
**[13:45] ---**
Kinji, I'm gonna get on the bus.
**[13:47] ---**
Huh?!
**[13:48] ---**
I'll get on the bus and defuse the bomb.
**[13:51] ---**
Hey, don't be reckless!
**[13:52] ---**
This is the quickest way to
save the injured ones.
**[14:02] ---**
You're coming with me too.
**[14:05] ---**
Okay.
**[14:23] ---**
"Curve Ahead"
**[14:39] ---**
We'll split up and look for the bomb.
**[14:42] ---**
I'll check under the bus.
You check inside the bus.
**[14:44] ---**
Don't go outside the bus,
even if you don't find it.
**[14:48] ---**
Got it.
**[14:49] ---**
Kinji, check under the driver's seat.
**[14:51] ---**
If it's inside the bus, this is the
only place we haven't checked.
**[14:54] ---**
Okay.
**[14:59] ---**
It doesn't look like it's here.
**[15:01] ---**
Are you okay, Muto?
**[15:03] ---**
I am, but the bus isn't doing so well.
**[15:06] ---**
To tell you the truth, it's leaking gas.
**[15:08] ---**
Wha...!
**[15:11] ---**
On top of that, this tunnel is
directly connected to Rainbow Bridge.
**[15:13] ---**
If things go bad, it'll explode
right in the middle of the city!
**[15:16] ---**
Dammit! We have to find the bomb quickly.
**[15:20] ---**
Kinji! I found it!
**[15:26] ---**
This is probably a
Kaczynski β-type plastic bomb.
**[15:30] ---**
Just from what's visible, the volume
of explosives is at least 3500 cm³!
**[15:35] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[15:36] ---**
That's enough to blow up a tank,
let alone a bus!
**[15:39] ---**
But don't worry. I can dismantle this.
**[15:43] ---**
Really? Good.
**[15:45] ---**
Tohyama, got a sec?
**[15:49] ---**
What's the matter?
**[15:50] ---**
We'll get you help soon, okay?
**[15:50] ---**
The culprit... is probably...
**[15:54] ---**
watching us even now.
**[15:58] ---**
Before he makes his next move,
we have to do something
**[16:01] ---**
about the sensor, or the device
that transmits its signal.
**[16:04] ---**
A transmission device...
**[16:10] ---**
I can't reach... it...
**[16:16] ---**
There it is!
**[16:17] ---**
As I thought, it was on the roof.
**[16:21] ---**
Kinji! Help me! I can't reach it!
**[16:24] ---**
Kinji?!
**[16:26] ---**
That idiot!
**[16:31] ---**
Kinji!
**[16:32] ---**
Aria! I found the communication device!
**[16:34] ---**
The culprit was using this
to monitor the inside of the...
**[16:37] ---**
You idiot! I told you not to go outside!
**[16:40] ---**
Are you not even familiar
with basics like that?!
**[16:43] ---**
Wh-Why do you have to talk like that?!
**[16:45] ---**
I wanted to take care of this
while you were dismantling the bomb!
**[16:50] ---**
You're too exposed!
Hurry up and go back insi...
**[17:01] ---**
Duck!
**[17:12] ---**
Kinji!
**[17:25] ---**
Aria!
**[17:26] ---**
Aria...!
**[17:28] ---**
Aria..!
**[17:29] ---**
Aria!
**[17:30] ---**
Aria!
**[17:42] ---**
That's...
**[17:53] ---**
Reki!
**[18:19] ---**
I am...
**[18:22] ---**
a single bullet...
**[19:18] ---**
So you came, too, Reki?
**[19:23] ---**
I didn't know you and Aria knew each other.
**[19:25] ---**
Aria is my client.
**[19:28] ---**
Client? Then that sniper work was...
**[19:33] ---**
She said her plan might require
my services, so she requested my help.
**[19:38] ---**
She said that she could resolve
any case by teaming up with you, Kinji.
**[19:47] ---**
The scar is permanent?
**[19:50] ---**
Aria...
**[19:51] ---**
H-Hold on a sec!
**[19:53] ---**
"Aria H. Kanzaki"
**[19:54] ---**
Doctors are making too big a deal out of it.
**[19:56] ---**
To think that I was hospitalized
over this little scratch...
**[19:59] ---**
This is nothing.s
**[20:00] ---**
So you don't have to
worry about it, either.
**[20:03] ---**
Butei Charter Article 1,
"Trust in your comrades and help them."
**[20:07] ---**
I just followed it, that's all.
**[20:10] ---**
It's not like I saved
you because it was you.
**[20:13] ---**
The Butei Charter is just
a bunch of nice words.
**[20:15] ---**
Don't follow it like a fool.
**[20:17] ---**
Are you calling me a fool?!
**[20:19] ---**
Who do you think you are?
**[20:21] ---**
But you might be right.
**[20:23] ---**
I might really be a fool to
have saved a fool like you.
**[20:29] ---**
This is the report for the case.
**[20:32] ---**
Those in Inquesta and Repier
pulled an all-nighter and investigated it.
**[20:36] ---**
To come straight to the point, they found
no traces that could lead to the culprit.
**[20:41] ---**
I figured as much.
The *Butei* killer is extremely sly.
**[20:45] ---**
"Accident"
**[20:45] ---**
There's no way he'd leave any evidence.
**[20:48] ---**
So... is that all?
**[20:51] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[20:52] ---**
Then leave. You're done here, right?
**[20:56] ---**
You...! That's our comrades' hard work!
**[20:57] ---**
Go home, already! Leave me alone.
**[21:01] ---**
Yeah, I'm going home!
**[21:06] ---**
What's your problem?
**[21:08] ---**
I had high hopes for you.
**[21:11] ---**
I thought you'd show your
real abilities like the other day!
**[21:15] ---**
You expected too much on your own!
**[21:17] ---**
I don't have the abilities you think I do!
**[21:19] ---**
That's a lie! You are capable!
**[21:22] ---**
Why don't you demonstrate your abilities?!
**[21:24] ---**
That's none of your business!
**[21:26] ---**
Besides, I've decided
to quit being a *Butei*!
**[21:29] ---**
Why are you so selfish?!
**[21:31] ---**
I can't help being selfish!
I don't have much time left!
**[21:34] ---**
What do you mean?! I don't get it!
**[21:37] ---**
If you are a *Butei*, check
into it by yourself!
**[21:39] ---**
Compared to me, I bet your reason for
quitting being a *Butei* isn't a big deal!
**[21:54] ---**
In any case...
**[21:56] ---**
I'm going to quit being a *Butei*.
**[22:00] ---**
Okay...
**[22:02] ---**
I get it...
**[22:04] ---**
The one I was looking for wasn't you.
**[22:41] ---**
*I always ran on my own,*
**[22:47] ---**
*Right up against my limit.*
**[22:54] ---**
*Am I a third wheel?
If that's how you feel*
**[22:59] ---**
*It's still not too late.
You can turn back here.*
**[23:06] ---**
*I was used to saying
goodbye until I met you that day.*
**[23:15] ---**
*"I want to protect you"...*
**[23:18] ---**
*No one had said that to me before.*
**[23:28] ---**
*I think I had been waiting a long time
to hear that...*
**[23:32] ---**
*I want to believe in you!*
**[23:39] ---**
*What will be the final?*
**[23:42] ---**
*Through camellia-colored eyes...*
**[23:53] ---**
*After all, Kinji wasn't my partner, either.*
**[23:56] ---**
*I'm always a lone pretty girl Butei.*
**[23:59] ---**
*Hey, who'd you say was a pretty girl Butei?*
**[24:01] ---**
*K-Kinji?! Didn't you go home?*
**[24:03] ---**
*I couldn't because I have to
do this preview! Now, here you go.*
**[24:06] ---**
*I don't feel like it!
More importantly, you said, "Here you go."*
**[24:09] ---**
*Are you throwing me crumbs?!*
**[24:11] ---**
*You want a partner
more than breadcrumbs, huh?*
**[24:13] ---**
*What's with that clever comeback?!
Go home already, stupid Kinji!*
