[00:29] ---
    Here...
[00:30] ---
    Get on my shoulders.
[00:32] ---
    Oof.
[00:48] ---
    That's how it always starts...
[00:51] ---
    under the azure sky
[00:54] ---
    After making a vow,
[00:57] ---
    I now set off
[01:14] ---
    Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue
[01:19] ---
    (The wind is scorching)
[01:20] ---
    I'm searching for a diamond flower
[01:25] ---
    (I keep on wandering)
[01:27] ---
    Now, for the first time in my life,
[01:33] ---
    I live for someone else
[01:39] ---
    There's something I wanna protect
[01:46] ---
    I'll never, ever lose it again
[01:52] ---
    Resound, my heartbeat!
[01:59] ---
    A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
    but tougher than anyone's.
[02:18] ---
    "The Wounded Cat"
[02:23] ---
    You bastard, I'll make
    you pay for this!!
[02:25] ---
    Train... you still don't get it?
[02:29] ---
    That woman was a witch
    who was leading you astray.
[02:32] ---
    You bastard...
[02:35] ---
    I swear I'll make you pay for this!!
[02:47] ---
    That look!
[02:49] ---
    That look in your eyes!
[03:14] ---
    So what do you think?
    Aren't they pretty?
[03:18] ---
    It looks as if flowers
    are blossoming in the sky.
[03:21] ---
    Tamaya!!
[03:23] ---
    What's that?
[03:24] ---
    That's what you say
    when fireworks are going off.
[03:31] ---
    Tagaya!!
[03:33] ---
    That's a Rakugo comedy!
[03:43] ---
    Tamaya!!
[03:45] ---
    No!
[03:47] ---
    Hey, it's not "no,"
    it's "Tamaya," right?
[03:52] ---
    What's the matter?
[03:53] ---
    The smell... of blood...
[03:56] ---
    Huh?
[03:57] ---
    I'm going...
[03:58] ---
    Where to?
[03:59] ---
    The sea...
[04:00] ---
    Th-The sea?!
[04:01] ---
    That way...
[04:02] ---
    That way? Umm...
[04:03] ---
    Hurry up!
[04:04] ---
    Uhh... Okay, okay!
[04:13] ---
    The fireworks are
    pretty, aren't they?!
[04:18] ---
    Oh? What's the matter?
[04:20] ---
    You're crying...
[04:25] ---
    You really are funny, Train-kun!
[04:29] ---
    Oh? Me, too...
[04:32] ---
    It can't be helped, right?
[04:33] ---
    'Cause fireworks are so pretty!
[04:37] ---
    See? Isn't this pretty?
[04:40] ---
    Don't worry...
[04:41] ---
    Your eyes are...
[04:43] ---
    as pretty as fireworks...
[05:04] ---
    You're... Torneo's...
[05:13] ---
    It's not "he came to life,"
    it's "he came to," right, Eve?
[05:19] ---
    Hey! How're you feeling?
[05:22] ---
    You're that sweeper...
[05:23] ---
    What are you doing here?
[05:25] ---
    This is my house...
    or rather, it's my hideout.
[05:27] ---
    Hideout?
[05:29] ---
    What a shock that was!
[05:30] ---
    When we went to the pier like Eve suggested,
[05:32] ---
    we saw a tanker in flames...
[05:40] ---
    Hey! Don't get close!
[05:42] ---
    Eve! It's dangerous!
[05:45] ---
    I smell blood...
[05:47] ---
    Ow, ow! Eve! If we go any
    further, we could really get hurt!
[05:51] ---
    That way...
[05:54] ---
    How far are you gonna go, Eve?!
[05:58] ---
    There he is!
[06:05] ---
    So, after this and that,
[06:07] ---
    we rescued you from the flames of the exploding tanker.
[06:11] ---
    Be thankful.
[06:13] ---
    Exploding...
[06:15] ---
    Where's Saya?!
[06:17] ---
    Saya?
[06:17] ---
    She was wearing a yukata!
[06:19] ---
    Yukata?
[06:20] ---
    We didn't see her.
[06:23] ---
    Was she with you?
[06:28] ---
    I'm sorry, but either way, I don't
    think she'd survive in that explosion.
[06:34] ---
    How long... was I asleep?
[06:37] ---
    A week.
[06:40] ---
    A week...
[06:44] ---
    But I changed my mind about you.
[06:46] ---
    After all, in the middle of all that,
    you protected those kids to the end.
[06:49] ---
    That's not something
    just anyone could do.
[06:52] ---
    Kids?
[06:53] ---
    Don't worry. I heard that
    all three of them are just fine.
[06:57] ---
    I don't remember.
[07:03] ---
    You're hungry, aren't you?
[07:06] ---
    Now, don't hold back!
    Eat to your heart's content!
[07:10] ---
    What's the matter? If you
    don't eat, you won't get better.
[07:14] ---
    Where's my gun?
[07:17] ---
    Eve, give it to him.
[07:21] ---
    He still smells of blood...
[07:30] ---
    Please give this to the man in
    black and say, "thanks for saving us!"
[07:35] ---
    So, I'll give this to you.
[07:38] ---
    But I won't give
    you the gun back.
[07:52] ---
    Well, we all ended up living under
    the same roof. This must be fate.
[07:56] ---
    In any case,
    why don't we be friends?
[08:09] ---
    Don't be so edgy.
[08:12] ---
    He's an injured man.
[08:13] ---
    Be nice to him, at
    least until he gets better.
[08:18] ---
    But he's...
[08:20] ---
    An assassin, you mean?
[08:24] ---
    But he didn't shoot you.
[08:30] ---
    So, his gun...
[08:32] ---
    give it back to him, will you?
[08:38] ---
    Anyway, these days you've
    always got your nose in a book...
[08:42] ---
    I want to know...
[08:44] ---
    You want to know...
    about what?
[08:47] ---
    A lot of things...
[08:48] ---
    A lot of things?
[08:50] ---
    Because I had been
    taught only one thing...
[08:54] ---
    I see...
[08:59] ---
    So, what have you learned?
[09:02] ---
    Let's see, "A Guide to Martial Arts"
    and "Three Minute Cooking"...
[09:06] ---
    "Cherry Blossom Viewing from
    A Row House" and "Camels' Humps"...
[09:10] ---
    "Tagaya"!
[09:12] ---
    And, what you're
    perusing right now is...
[09:15] ---
    Aesop...
[09:17] ---
    Aesop?
[09:18] ---
    It's a fable.
    Annette gave it to me.
[09:22] ---
    That's a mean-looking cat.
[09:24] ---
    It's a story about putting
    a bell on a bad cat's neck.
[09:28] ---
    A bell... on a cat's neck?
[09:31] ---
    Right. They put a bell
    on a bad cat's neck.
[09:51] ---
    Well, then, I'm going
    grocery shopping for dinner,
[09:53] ---
    so, stay home with him.
[09:56] ---
    Hey, don't give me that look.
[09:58] ---
    We can't go leaving
    an injured man alone, right?
[10:00] ---
    I'll get you something.
    What do you want?
[10:03] ---
    A book!
[10:24] ---
    It's from the guest over there.
[10:26] ---
    Oh?
[10:28] ---
    The name of this cocktail is "Fate."
[10:31] ---
    It's a suitable name
    for our meeting...
[10:33] ---
    Don't you think?
[10:35] ---
    Yeah...
[10:36] ---
    You have beautiful eyes...
[10:39] ---
    To your beautiful eyes!
[10:42] ---
    Jenos-sama...
[10:46] ---
    Belze is...?
[10:48] ---
    I'm sorry, but I have to go.
[10:51] ---
    My name?
[10:54] ---
    Ask the god of "Fate"
    who brought you and I together...
[11:00] ---
    Who's going to
    pay for this "Fate"?
[11:22] ---
    Welcome!
[11:24] ---
    Coffee... Make it hot and strong,
    like you'd get at a mountain cottage...
[11:28] ---
    Okay, and put it on
    your tab as usual, right?
[11:32] ---
    That's right...
[11:33] ---
    Wha...?! How?!
[11:40] ---
    So, what's Rins up to?
[11:42] ---
    She left town.
    She said that she got a job.
[11:45] ---
    She told me she'd make
    a lot of money this time.
[11:48] ---
    Good to hear that she's all right.
[11:50] ---
    Yeah...
[11:52] ---
    Anyway, about that
    explosion at the pier the other day...
[11:56] ---
    Oh, the one on the
    night of the festival...
[11:58] ---
    Have you heard
    anything about it?
[12:00] ---
    According to the
    official announcement,
[12:02] ---
    fireworks supposedly caused
    the tanker to catch fire, but...
[12:07] ---
    But the truth is?
[12:09] ---
    I don't know.
[12:10] ---
    I heard that three kids were caught
    in the explosion and got light burns,
[12:15] ---
    but they seem
    to remember nothing...
[12:18] ---
    Nothing?
[12:20] ---
    Listen, I don't want you to
    mention the man in black to anyone.
[12:25] ---
    Got it!
[12:25] ---
    I won't tell anyone!
[12:27] ---
    Me neither!
[12:28] ---
    I see... That's good...
[12:31] ---
    You look like
    you know something.
[12:33] ---
    Not really...
[12:36] ---
    Oh well...
[12:37] ---
    Anyway, where's Eve?
[12:39] ---
    Yeah, she's reading
    picture books at my hideout.
[12:42] ---
    Sounds like she's doing fine.
[12:44] ---
    Yeah, thanks.
[12:46] ---
    But don't let your guard down.
[12:48] ---
    I heard that Chronos guys
    are snooping around everywhere.
[12:52] ---
    Man, those guys
    sure are persistent...
[12:56] ---
    Ouch!
[12:57] ---
    Ow, ow, ouch!!
[13:00] ---
    Torneo's bio-weapon?
[13:03] ---
    It was No. XIII's mission,
    but I want you to take it over.
[13:08] ---
    Don't tell me Black Cat failed...
[13:11] ---
    He left Chronos and disappeared.
[13:15] ---
    There was a report that he
    died in that explosion at the pier,
[13:18] ---
    but I wouldn't count on it.
[13:19] ---
    I see...
[13:21] ---
    Will you take this job?
[13:26] ---
    Thanks.
[13:28] ---
    So, why did Black Cat
    leave Chronos?
[13:32] ---
    You don't have to know.
[13:34] ---
    If you find him, I'll leave
    the matter up to you.
[13:40] ---
    What a bad road!
[13:42] ---
    Please be patient.
[13:44] ---
    I've got information
[13:45] ---
    that the bio-weapon was definitely
    brought to somewhere around here.
[13:50] ---
    Why do you keep fighting?!
[13:54] ---
    I myself don't know why,
[13:55] ---
    but once we get in a robot,
    we have no choice but to fight, right?!
[13:58] ---
    Yeah, it's true that when
    we, children, get in a robot,
[14:00] ---
    we all become war
    victims for some reason!!
[14:04] ---
    Move.
[14:06] ---
    I can't see the TV!
[14:10] ---
    I'm going to...
[14:11] ---
    put a bell...
[14:12] ---
    Huh?
[14:14] ---
    I'm going to put a
    bell on a bad cat's neck
[14:18] ---
    so that he won't
    be dangerous anymore...
[14:21] ---
    This is why I say
    the federation military is...!
[14:24] ---
    I don't understand
    what you're saying at all!
[14:28] ---
    Why are things
    turning out like this?!
[14:30] ---
    This is what war is!!
[14:32] ---
    Giga-ton Punch!
[14:39] ---
    How can you say
    "put a bell on a bad cat"?
[14:42] ---
    You tried to kill me, too.
[14:49] ---
    You're an assassin, too.
[15:00] ---
    I don't wanna wage
    war in a robot any more!!
[15:13] ---
    I'm home!
[15:14] ---
    Eve, I bought a book for you.
    "Art of Calligraphy is the Stray"...
[15:19] ---
    Hey, where did Eve go?
[15:23] ---
    What?!
[15:24] ---
    Idiot!
[15:27] ---
    That's her...
[15:28] ---
    What?
[15:30] ---
    Are you saying that little lady is the
    bio-weapon that Torneo developed?
[15:34] ---
    Yes. It's no mistake.
[15:44] ---
    I don't know
    what happened to you.
[15:46] ---
    If you don't open up
    to us, that's okay, too.
[15:49] ---
    But, it was Eve who found
    you at that explosion site,
[15:53] ---
    and who looked after you all that
    time you were in bed for a week.
[15:58] ---
    Listen up. If you say
    something to hurt her again,
[16:01] ---
    I'll make you pay for it,
    even if you're injured.
[16:14] ---
    You're an assassin, too.
[16:22] ---
    Good evening...
[16:25] ---
    mademoiselle.
[16:27] ---
    Hey! Where are you?! Eve!!
[16:33] ---
    What's your name, mademoiselle?
[16:39] ---
    Now, now, what are
    you backing away for?
[16:43] ---
    Did you come to capture me?
[16:46] ---
    No. I came to escort you.
[16:53] ---
    Jenos-sama,
    please be careful.
[16:56] ---
    She's a monster.
[16:58] ---
    Watch what you say.
[17:01] ---
    It's rude to the lady.
[17:03] ---
    Now...
[17:05] ---
    Let's go...
[17:08] ---
    mademoiselle.
[17:09] ---
    I'm not... going...
[17:12] ---
    What a dilemma. I promised
    that I'd bring you with me...
[17:16] ---
    No...
[17:17] ---
    Please...
    Come with me...
[17:25] ---
    You're it.
[17:27] ---
    You're an assassin, too.
[17:29] ---
    No!!!
[17:30] ---
    Whoa!
[17:33] ---
    So, that's the power
    of nanomachines!
[17:40] ---
    You damn monster!
[17:42] ---
    Game over, mademoiselle!
[17:49] ---
    I'm sorry for
    getting rough with you.
[17:52] ---
    If you come with
    me without a fight,
[17:55] ---
    I'll make it so that
    the pain won't be any worse.
[17:59] ---
    No!!
[18:05] ---
    This thread is made of orichalcum.
[18:11] ---
    Now, please...
    Say you'll come with me...
[18:15] ---
    Or else...
[18:20] ---
    N-No!
[18:25] ---
    Ouch!!
[18:29] ---
    A bell?
[18:31] ---
    Ow, ow, ow...
[18:44] ---
    What a surprise!
[18:46] ---
    I never thought I'd be able to
    see Black Cat in a place like this.
[18:49] ---
    You must be one
    of the Numbers...
[18:52] ---
    That's right! I'm No. VII,
    Jenos Hazard.
[18:57] ---
    Never heard of you...
[18:59] ---
    Just as expected of No. XIII,
    the bringer of bad luck,
[19:02] ---
    You keep your cool!
[19:05] ---
    I'm no longer
    one of the Numbers!
[19:08] ---
    I'm a stray cat
    who does as he pleases!
[19:11] ---
    A stray cat, huh?
[19:12] ---
    Belze'll probably be happy
    if I bring you to Chronos,
[19:16] ---
    along with the
    bio-weapon mademoiselle.
[19:21] ---
    Let's get something straight.
    She isn't a weapon.
[19:24] ---
    She's a human!
[19:26] ---
    This is also part of my mission!
[19:38] ---
    Black Cat!!
[19:42] ---
    That's wishful thinking, Black Cat!
[19:44] ---
    Even if you fire three bullets,
    it's not gonna beat my Excellion.
[19:52] ---
    Damn!
[19:53] ---
    Sorry, but my Hades
    is also made of orichalcum.
[19:59] ---
    Eve, I'll leave the rest to you!
[20:05] ---
    What?! Chronos came?!
[20:08] ---
    But I beat them up.
[20:10] ---
    Dummy! He purposely
    pretended that he was knocked out.
[20:13] ---
    What?
[20:14] ---
    There's no way one of the
    Numbers would be knocked unconscious
[20:17] ---
    just by being hit with a hammer.
[20:18] ---
    So, why are you guys
    having dinner together,
[20:23] ---
    while I was out looking all over
    for Eve for three-and-a-half long hours?
[20:26] ---
    Because I was starving...
[20:27] ---
    Because I was hungry...
[20:29] ---
    Jenos-sama...
[20:30] ---
    Forget about
    what happened tonight.
[20:32] ---
    But...
    Forget it!
[20:34] ---
    U-Understood.
[20:36] ---
    How many miles do we
    have left to reach the town?
[20:39] ---
    20 miles...
[20:42] ---
    Thanks to Black Cat,
    our car was trashed!
[20:45] ---
    That was because you...
[20:47] ---
    Shut up!
[20:48] ---
    What shall we
    report to Belze-sama?
[20:51] ---
    This matter was left to me.
[20:54] ---
    So, I'll decide
    what we're gonna do.
[20:56] ---
    Yes...
[20:59] ---
    A stray cat who does
    as he pleases, huh?
[21:03] ---
    We're already leaving?
[21:04] ---
    If we stay here, Chronos
    could come back any time, right?!
[21:08] ---
    You don't need
    to worry about that...
[21:12] ---
    By the way, what's up
    with that bell on your neck?
[21:15] ---
    Oh, yeah, it's slick, isn't it?
[21:17] ---
    Hmm...
[21:19] ---
    But I feel like
    I've seen that bell somewhere...
[21:29] ---
    Then, you're saying that Creed
    used some uncanny power?
[21:34] ---
    Yes. According to Nizer...
[21:41] ---
    Could it be Tao?
[21:42] ---
    Very possibly.
[21:43] ---
    I also crossed swords with a
    man who called himself a Taoist.
[21:47] ---
    However, those with
    the power of the Tao
[21:50] ---
    were supposed to be
    eradicated in the war 20 years ago.
[21:54] ---
    Are the survivors of the "Itairiku War"
    trying to cause an uproar?
[21:59] ---
    But, why can Creed
    use the power of the Tao?
[22:02] ---
    It seems that an ill wind
    is blowing, doesn't it?
[22:07] ---
    The Council of Elders
    is also concerned.
[22:09] ---
    They ordered us to focus on investigating
    Creed and the Taoists for now.
[22:15] ---
    In the meantime, you should
    forget about other matters.

    The stars in the night sky are my tears
[22:31] ---
    Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!
[22:35] ---
    Please stop time tonight!
[22:49] ---
    Please show yourself
[22:52] ---
    even if just a little
[22:55] ---
    Around the time the first evening star appears,
[22:58] ---
    I hear footsteps approaching
[23:01] ---
    The only time I can see you*
[23:04] ---
    s when the moon is shining*
[23:07] ---
    Please let me dream a little
[23:10] ---
    'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning
[23:13] ---
    Even though I know it, I still feel lonely
[23:17] ---
    The stars in the night sky are my tears
[23:22] ---
    You held me in your arms
[23:26] ---
    and your passionate lips met mine
[23:29] ---
    Please don't let go of me
[23:32] ---
    I'm about to melt in your arms
[23:35] ---
    But morning is almost here
[23:38] ---
    Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!
[23:41] ---
    I pray to you,
[23:43] ---
    please stop time

    I'm Sven Vollfied.
[23:57] ---
    I'm a cool, lone-wolf sweeper.
[24:00] ---
    But, why am I, the cool, lone-wolf sweeper,
    traveling with two dependents?!
[24:05] ---
    Damn! A cold wind blows
    through my empty wallet...
[24:10] ---
    Oh well, I guess I'll work hard.
[24:13] ---
    Hey, Train! Quit napping
    all day and give me a hand!
[24:17] ---
    Oh, no need to get up, Eve.
