***SIGN*** Boogiepop and Others
***SIGN*** Dengeki Bunko
**[01:39] Kei**
Wh-What is this?
**[01:42] Kei**
What's going on?
**[01:43] Boogiepop**
I do not know.
**[01:45] Kei**
But you reappeared because you sensed
another threat to this world, right?
**[01:49] Boogiepop**
Yes, that is correct, but I don't
know exactly what this threat is.
**[01:56] Boogiepop**
I appear automatically, after all.
**[01:59] Kei**
Even in this situation?
**[02:02] Kei**
Just find this King of Distortion
and take him out already!
**[02:06] Boogiepop**
If it were actually that simple,
I wouldn't need to appear.
**[02:11] Boogiepop**
Besides, I'm not entirely
sure if he's my enemy yet.
**[02:16] Kei**
What's that mean?
**[02:17] Boogiepop**
It seems the being that calls
itself the King of Distortion
**[02:21] Boogiepop**
is trying to draw some kind
of reaction out of people.
**[02:26] Boogiepop**
What I mean is, that
alone isn't destructive.
**[02:31] Boogiepop**
It's not like last time.
**[02:33] Kei**
Last time? You mean with Manticore?
**[02:37] Boogiepop**
It appears the real threat
hasn't appeared yet this time.
**[02:51] Boogiepop**
Hunger affects your nerves.
**[02:54] Boogiepop**
You should eat something.
**[02:56] Kei**
Could this be...
**[03:01] Boogiepop**
Yes, I believe Miyashita Touka made it
to eat it together with Takeda Keiji.
**[03:08] Kei**
I-I don't want this!
**[03:11] Boogiepop**
It's still food, regardless.
**[03:13] Kei**
I feel bad for Miyashita-san, though.
**[03:16] Boogiepop**
It's fine. I'm sure she'll deal with it.
**[03:20] Kei**
Really?
**(Flashback) [03:23] Suema**
Split personalities?
**(Flashback) [03:25] Kei**
Yeah... Like someone's
personality suddenly changing.
**(Flashback) [03:30] Suema**
Niitoki-san, first off, most cases of
dissociative identity disorder are fake.
**(Flashback) [03:38] Kei**
Huh?
**(Flashback) [03:38] Suema**
They're just acting. At least,
I think most of them are, anyway.
**(Flashback) [03:43] Kei**
But... Th-There are all kinds of cases...
**(Flashback) [03:48] Suema**
Yes, there are, but there's no way to
prove that they're completely true.
**(Flashback) [03:53] Suema**
Dissociative identity disorder
is nothing more than a theory.
**(Flashback) [03:59] Suema**
Niitoki-san, even you have some
kind of secret, don't you?
**(Flashback) [04:03] Suema**
And when you're trying to hide it,
aren't you just acting?
**(Flashback) [04:06] Suema**
You probably seem rather different
from yourself at times, too.
**(Flashback) [04:11] Suema**
But if someone said that was
actually another identity,
**(Flashback) [04:14] Suema**
isn't that a bit too much?
**(Flashback) [04:16] Kei**
W-Well, yeah...
**(Flashback) [04:19] Suema**
The human heart has many more sides
than people are willing to admit.
**(Flashback) [04:25] Kei**
B-But isn't it possible that someone
might not even realize
**(Flashback) [04:28] Kei**
that they have another identity?
**(Flashback) [04:31] Suema**
True, but...
**(Flashback) [04:33] Suema**
How are you supposed to prove that?
**(Flashback) [04:37] Kei**
Huh? Um...
**(Flashback) [04:39] Suema**
There's a part of dissociative identity
disorder that's *probatio diabolica*.
**(Flashback) [04:44] Suema**
They might be lying, but to prove that...
**(Flashback) [04:49] Kei**
It might be difficult?
**(Flashback) [04:51] Suema**
I believe that multiple personalities
come from someone's desires.
**(Flashback) [04:56] Suema**
At times, it's a way for someone
to deny that they've done something
**(Flashback) [05:00] Suema**
and blame someone else who's
supposedly inside of them.
**(Flashback) [05:04] Kei**
I see...
**(Flashback) [05:06] Suema**
Those feelings, which everyone
has, are what affirm
**(Flashback) [05:11] Suema**
the existence of dissociative
identity disorder.
**(Flashback) [05:13] Suema**
That's what I believe.
**[05:17] Kei**
Feelings that everyone has, huh?
**[05:24] Kei**
This is good.
**[05:32] Kei**
You're good at that.
**[05:35] Boogiepop**
You're the second person to tell me that.
**[05:38] Kei**
Who was the first?
**[05:40] Boogiepop**
Takeda-kun.
**[05:42] Kei**
Senpai knows about you, too?
**[05:45] Boogiepop**
Yes.
**[05:46] Kei**
I wonder what he thinks about all this...
**[05:48] Kei**
Your existence is quite a burden, you know?
**[05:51] Boogiepop**
Well, he's a good person.
**[05:55] Kei**
Why does Miyashita-san like Senpai?
**[05:59] Boogiepop**
Who knows? I'm not certain myself, but
I'd suspect it's for the same reason you do.
**[06:07] Boogiepop**
Why did *you* end up liking Takeda-kun?
**[06:14] Kei**
Probably because he's nice.
**[06:17] Kei**
I wonder if it's the same for Miyashita-san.
**[06:20] Boogiepop**
Again, I'm not sure.
**[06:23] Kei**
What about you, then? What do
you think about Takeda-senpai?
**[06:28] Boogiepop**
I don't have my own sense of self.
What I'm thinking matters to no one.
**[06:37] Kei**
That's not fair.
**[06:40] Boogiepop**
I'm grateful for Takeda-kun.
**[06:43] Boogiepop**
He's the only one who ever
called me their friend.
**[06:48] Boogiepop**
Yes...
**[06:50] Boogiepop**
In that sense, you could even
say that I'm a bit jealous.
**[06:56] Kei**
Jealous?
**[06:58] Boogiepop**
Jealous of Miyashita Touka, just like you.
**[07:04] Kei**
Wh-What? What's going on?
**[07:08] Kei**
Hey, wait!
**[07:29] Kei**
Wh—
**[07:30] Kei**
Why are you here again?
**[07:32] Saotome**
Looks like they're gone.
**[07:35] Saotome**
Now, let's continue our conversation.
**[07:42] Guy**
What do you mean, there's no
blueprint data remaining?
**[07:45] Guy B**
What can we do? The president deleted them.
**[07:49] Keiji**
Is Miyashita in there?
**[07:52] Guy**
Could this be a time-delayed device?
**[07:55] Guy B**
A time-delayed device?
What are you talking about?
**[07:58] Guy**
Like, maybe the president planned
for this to happen before he died.
**[08:02] Keiji**
If she is in there, could
it actually be Boogiepop?
**[08:12] Sakiko**
Say, Hinako...
**[08:15] Sakiko**
Will you forgive me?
**[08:17] Hinako**
I'm not the one who decides that.
**[08:20] Sakiko**
Yeah... This is an illusion, after all.
**[08:23] Sakiko**
The truth is that you're already dead,
and you probably hate me, but...
**[08:28] King**
But what?
**[08:30] Sakiko**
You're the guy from earlier...
**[08:33] King**
I appeared this way because
he was in your memories.
**[08:36] King**
That's probably what he'd say, anyway.
**[08:39] Sakiko**
Then are you the King of Distortion?
**[08:41] King**
Who knows? That doesn't really matter.
**[08:44] King**
What matters is, even if you ask
Hinako-kun for forgiveness,
**[08:48] King**
you'll never get an answer.
**[08:52] Hinako**
Hey, did you ever think about me
from time to time before this?
**[08:58] Sakiko**
Huh?
**[08:59] Hinako**
You probably completely
forgot about me until today.
**[09:03] Sakiko**
I'm sorry.
**[09:05] Hinako**
No... The fact that you had forgotten
shows how great your guilt was.
**[09:10] Hinako**
It was what was tying you down.
**[09:13] Hinako**
But at this rate, Hinako's existence
will only continue to harm you.
**[09:19] Hinako**
Even though it should be fun,
just like we're having now.
**[09:27] Sakiko**
Is that what you mean by gold?
**[09:29] Hinako**
No... It's everything that you think glitters.
**[09:37] Sakiko**
What's that noise?
**[09:38] Hinako**
You don't need to worry about Zooragi.
**[09:42] Sakiko**
Zooragi?
**[09:43] Hinako**
Yes.
**[09:45] Sakiko**
You don't need to worry about it.
**[09:48] Shirou**
An illusion?
**[09:50] Habara**
Yeah. They probably filled
the place with psychotropic gas.
**[09:57] Habara**
I mean, the guy made a completely
closed-off building.
**[10:01] Habara**
There's a good chance that Teratsuki
Kyouichirou is behind all of this.
**[10:05] Shirou**
But even if that's true,
what was he trying to do?
**[10:09] Habara**
Right. Also, why did he make this
place like one giant staircase?
**[10:13] Habara**
There are tons of questions.
**[10:17] Habara**
I can't get through...
**[10:19] Shirou**
This does seem like some demon
lord's tower from a video game.
**[10:23] Habara**
That's not even funny...
**[10:25] Shirou**
Oh, Habara-san! There's a hatch over here.
**[10:32] Habara**
Looks like someone went through before us.
**[10:35] Habara**
It might lead to the control room.
**[10:37] Habara**
Let's go.
**[10:41] Shirou**
What is this? Talk about horrible taste...
**[10:48] Habara**
There's nothing here. Looks like
it's just some storage space.
**[10:51] Habara**
I guess that means the control
room might be on the top floor.
**[10:54] Habara**
This fells more and more
like a game, huh, Shirou?
**[10:58] Habara**
What are you looking for?
Think we can get outside?
**[11:01] Shirou**
No...
**[11:02] Shirou**
I just thought there might be
signs that they might be here.
**[11:06] Habara**
They?
**[11:08] Shirou**
It's nothing.
**[11:11] Shirou**
I guess we're out of options. We'll just
have to go back the way we came
**[11:14] Shirou**
and try to find another exit.
**[11:24] Shirou**
Huh?
**[11:25] Habara**
Hey, what's wrong?
**[11:28] Shirou**
There's no one... here.
**[11:36] Habara**
What the hell's going on?
**[11:42] Habara**
That roar... I'm pretty sure
I've heard it somewhere before...
**[11:44] Guy**
H-Help me...
**[11:50] Habara**
Wh-What the hell is all this?!
**[11:53] Habara**
What are these things?
**[11:55] Habara**
Hey, Shirou!
***SIGN*** Kirima Nagi
**[12:03] Habara**
Is that you, Nagi?
**[12:05] Masaki**
* As I figured, you tried*
* asking my sister for help.*
**[12:10] Habara**
Masaki?
**[12:12] Habara**
Where's Nagi? Is Nagi there?
**[12:16] Masaki**
*You're acting pretty lame, Kentarou-san.*
**[12:20] Habara**
Who the hell are you?
**[12:22] Masaki**
*I'm sure you already know the answer.*
**[12:25] Masaki**
*I can't have you asking for help right now.*
**[12:30] Masaki**
*My experiment isn't over yet.*
**[12:37] Mob**
There's an earthquake happening
just around the Moon Temple!
**[12:38] Mob**
Hello? Hello?!
**[12:40] Mob**
I can't get a signal!
**[12:40] Keiji**
An earthquake? But that means it's really...
**[12:42] Mob**
Maybe there's some interference...
**[12:52] Mob**
We're sinking!
**[12:53] Mob**
The ground below us is caving in!
**[12:56] Mob**
Over here, too!
**[12:59] Keiji**
* Is this the trap that Teratsuki*
* Kyouichirou left behind?*
**[13:04] Keiji**
*Or... could it be...*
**[13:08] Mob**
Hey, don't tell me...
**[13:09] Mob**
Is the building actually going to collapse?!
**[13:12] Keiji**
*Is this it?*
**[13:13] Keiji**
*Is this the threat to the world, Boogiepop?*
**[13:17] Keiji**
*Miyashita!*
**(Flashback) [13:25] Teacher**
What's that, Makoto-kun?
**(Flashback) [13:28] Makoto**
My dad.
**(Flashback) [13:29] Teacher**
Your dad? But that's...
**(Flashback) [13:32] Makoto**
This is the dad that appears in my dreams.
**(Flashback) [13:37] Teacher**
I-I see... Does he have a name?
**(Flashback) [13:41] Makoto**
Zooragi.
**(Flashback) [13:41] Teacher**
Zo...
**(Flashback) [13:44] Teacher**
Wh-What an interesting name!
***SIGN*** Our Dads
***SIGN*** Hashizaka Makoto
**[13:53] Makoto**
Hey, is this gonna
take much longer, mister?!
**[13:56] Makoto**
Where'd you go?!
**[14:15] Makoto**
H-Help me... Someone help me!
**[14:19] Boogiepop**
Hey, there. Is something the matter?
**[14:23] Makoto**
Z-Zooragi is...
**[14:25] Boogiepop**
Zooragi? What's that?
**[14:28] Makoto**
It's a monster! It's right in front of us!
**[14:32] Boogiepop**
I'm afraid I can't see it, sadly.
**[14:35] Makoto**
Wh-What are you talking about?! It's gonna
eat us if we don't get out of here!
**[14:42] Boogiepop**
A monster, eh?
**[14:44] Boogiepop**
So that must be your King of Distortion.
**[14:47] Boogiepop**
And it's quite destructive at that.
**[14:52] Boogiepop**
Looks like I'll have my hands full again.
**[14:57] Makoto**
Huh?
**[14:58] Boogiepop**
Can I ask you something?
**[15:00] Boogiepop**
Could it be that this monster was
the one who squished everyone here?
**[15:07] Makoto**
Y-Yeah...
**[15:10] Boogiepop**
I see. So that's why everyone
just keeps asking for help.
**[15:16] Boogiepop**
Good grief. This is going
to be a huge ordeal.
**[15:20] Boogiepop**
I can safely say that even I've never
fought a monster before.
**[15:27] Kei**
I'm finally starting to understand.
**[15:29] Saotome**
Understand what, Niitoki-san?
**[15:32] Kei**
Who you really are, King of Distortion.
**[15:35] Saotome**
Oh? And what's that supposed to mean?
**[15:38] Kei**
At first, I thought I was dragged
into this illusion that you created.
**[15:43] Kei**
But if that were the case, it'd be
impossible for Boogiepop to come save me.
**[15:49] Kei**
Which means this isn't some kind of
illusion you created, but it's within me.
**[15:54] Saotome**
Within you, eh?
**[15:56] Kei**
To be more specific, you're
my alternate personality.
**[16:01] Saotome**
Oh?
**[16:02] Kei**
Suema-san told me that humans have
more sides to them than they know.
**[16:09] Kei**
And that's what you are.
**[16:11] Kei**
You're usually within me.
Someone trapped within a box.
**[16:16] Kei**
And you're an invader that's
borrowed their form.
**[16:19] Kei**
That's the true identity
of the King of Distortion.
**[16:23] Kei**
The continuous shaking
that's been going on...
**[16:26] Kei**
That's been going on since
before I returned here.
**[16:30] Kei**
Which means you're not creating it.
**[16:33] Kei**
It's being created by someone
else who's been possessed.
**[16:36] Kei**
It's the result of their
latent powers going berserk.
**[16:43] Kei**
And now, that's also scaring you.
**[16:47] Kei**
Am I wrong?
**[16:50] Saotome**
Apparently, that thing's called Zooragi.
**[16:53] Saotome**
It's gotten too big and is almost
completely independent from its creator.
**[16:58] Kei**
Zooragi...
**[16:59] Saotome**
It's not attacking anything
really intentionally...
**[17:03] Saotome**
But if it got serious, it could
flatten this building in an instant.
**[17:08] Kei**
Then hurry up and stop all of this!
**[17:10] Kei**
If you stop, all of this will disappear!
**[17:14] Saotome**
But will that make the Saotome Masami-kun
that's in your heart disappear, President?
**[17:21] Kei**
Th-That doesn't matter!
**[17:23] Saotome**
It's true I'm within you.
**[17:26] Saotome**
That's why I know everything you know.
**[17:30] Saotome**
Didn't Suema Kazuko say this, as well?
**[17:33] Saotome**
Split personalities are
a product of one's desires.
**[17:37] Saotome**
If I am truly a split personality, then
you have to find what desire created me.
**[17:44] Saotome**
No matter how bitter that may be,
**[17:47] Saotome**
and how much you'd like to avoid it.
**[17:50] Saotome**
Until that pain turns into your gold.
**[18:05] Boogiepop**
I see. It looks like our wavelengths
are finally matching.
**[18:10] Boogiepop**
I'm almost able to see it now.
**[18:13] Makoto**
What are you going to do?
**[18:14] Boogiepop**
Well, it definitely looks like it wants to play,
**[18:17] Boogiepop**
so I'm just going to have to accept.
**[18:20] Makoto**
Y-You're going to fight that thing?!
**[18:22] Boogiepop**
Well, there isn't any other way.
**[18:31] Boogiepop**
Looks like I missed.
It's much faster than I expected.
**[18:35] Makoto**
What did you do?
**[18:36] Boogiepop**
I messed up.
**[18:47] Boogiepop**
Perhaps I shouldn't have wounded it.
**[18:51] Boogiepop**
Then again, it's not like I can
cut through its giant body.
**[18:55] Makoto**
Where are we going, mister?
**[18:57] Boogiepop**
The name's Boogiepop.
**[18:59] Makoto**
Boogiepop?
**[19:02] Boogiepop**
We're going up. There really
isn't any other way we can go.
**[19:06] Makoto**
Up?! But then—
**[19:08] Boogiepop**
It might just corner us.
**[19:32] Makoto**
Wh-What's that?!
**[19:34] Boogiepop**
I think it's finished with
being troublesome,
**[19:36] Boogiepop**
and is now just trying to
destroy the whole building.
**[19:39] Boogiepop**
It's rather intelligent.
**[19:41] Makoto**
R-Really?!
**[19:57] Boogiepop**
Do you have any experience?
**[19:59] Makoto**
Huh?
**[20:00] Boogiepop**
Do you have any experience?
**[20:02] Makoto**
I-In what?
**[20:05] Boogiepop**
Bungee jumping!
**[20:32] Makoto**
Y-You actually won...
**[20:36] Boogiepop**
There's nothing you can't do in this world
**[20:38] Boogiepop**
when you have a bit of
intelligence and courage.
**[20:48] Boogiepop**
You finally believed in me.
**[20:50] Boogiepop**
For a moment, I didn't know what I'd do.
**[20:54] Boogiepop**
There you have it, Zooragi-kun.
**[20:57] Boogiepop**
Looks like your exit has
been blocked this time.
**[21:02] Boogiepop**
Even if you were to crush this thing,
you wouldn't be able to leave.
**[21:19] Boogiepop**
Someday, there'll be someone else
to acknowledge your existence.
**[21:25] Boogiepop**
Until then...
**[21:34] Boogiepop**
Good grief.
**[21:37] Makoto**
You're so awesome, Boogiepop...
**[21:40] Boogiepop**
Why, thank you.
**[21:46] Boogiepop**
Is this from when we jumped off?
**[21:48] Boogiepop**
I wonder if Takeda-kun will be angry that
I accidentally wounded this body.
**[21:59] Boogiepop**
Apparently a small portion of Zooragi's
power crossed the boundary.
**[22:06] Boogiepop**
This building's not going
to last much longer.
