***SIGN*** Boogiepop and Others
**[01:31] Shirou**
Habara-san. Habara-san!
***SIGN*** Dengeki Bunko
**[01:35] Shirou**
Are you all right, Habara-san?
**[01:38] Ken**
Y-Yeah, I'm fine...
**[01:42] Shirou**
Seems like the earthquake's stopped.
**[01:44] Ken**
What happened to me?
**[01:47] Shirou**
You started shouting out of
nowhere, and then collapsed.
**[01:52] Ken**
I see...
**[01:57] Shirou**
Is something wrong?
**[01:59] Ken**
No...
**[02:01] Shirou**
Well, anyway, Habara-san...
**[02:03] Shirou**
I found another entrance.
**[02:09] Shirou**
It's right below here.
**[02:15] Ken**
Hey, wake up!
**[02:18] Shirou**
Isn't she the girl from earlier?
The one you laughed at.
**[02:29] Ken**
Hey, you awake?
**[02:31] Sakiko**
Who are you guys?
**[02:35] Ken**
I'm Habara Kentarou. This is Tanaka Shirou.
**[02:39] Sakiko**
Michimoto Sakiko...
**[02:42] Ken**
Did you meet the King of
Distortion too, Michimoto-san?
**[02:45] Sakiko**
The King of Distortion...
**[02:48] Sakiko**
Were you the ones who woke me up?
**[02:51] Ken**
Hey, what did he seem like?
**[02:53] Ken**
Did you happen to see his
true identity or get any hints?
**[02:57] Sakiko**
Why are you asking me that?
**[03:00] Ken**
We're gonna defeat him! And to
do that, we need some clues.
**[03:05] Sakiko**
Defeat him?
**[03:06] Sakiko**
What did the King of Distortion say to you?
**[03:10] Ken**
Probably something similar
to what he said to you.
**[03:20] Sakiko**
And yet...
**[03:22] Shirou**
Habara-san, this hatch opens. It's not locked.
**[03:26] Ken**
Great.
**[03:28] Ken**
Well, you don't have to believe us,
but just wait here for a bit.
**[03:39] Ken**
How's it look inside?
**[03:41] Shirou**
It doesn't look like anything
is here, just like earlier.
**[03:45] Ken**
Let's head back.
**[03:47] Shirou**
Yes.
**[03:50] Sakiko**
I won't let you interfere.
**[03:52] Sakiko**
No matter your reason,
**[03:54] Sakiko**
I won't let you stop the King of Distortion!
**[03:56] Ken**
Hold on!
**[03:58] Sakiko**
I'm... I'm going back over there!
**[04:05] Ken**
Damn it. It's not opening.
**[04:08] Ken**
What the hell is her deal?
**[04:28] Guy**
Hey, you.
**[04:29] Guy**
You should step back.
It's dangerous over there.
**[04:32] Guy**
Hey, what is that?
**[04:43] Keiji**
Wh-What the...
**[04:45] Teratsuki**
* Ladies and gentlemen... Were you*
* able to figure everything out?*
**[04:49] Teratsuki**
*No... If you're hearing this music,*
**[04:53] Teratsuki**
*it means you still haven't reached me yet.*
**[04:58] Teratsuki**
* I don't know how many are currently*
* inside the Moon Temple,*
**[05:04] Teratsuki**
*but to those who are outside...*
**[05:07] Teratsuki**
*There is no way inside the Moon Temple.*
**[05:10] Teratsuki**
*Don't try anything futile.*
**[05:16] Ken**
That's Teratsuki Kyouichirou's voice.
**[05:18] Ken**
I knew it. He must be the King of Distortion.
**[05:22] Teratsuki**
*Next, to those who are inside...*
**[05:24] Teratsuki**
* I imagine that you might be concerned*
* about the noise before the music.*
**[05:30] Teratsuki**
* That was the noise of the air*
* ducts in this building locking.*
**[05:35] Teratsuki**
* Yes, this means that your oxygen*
* supply has been cut off.*
**[05:41] Teratsuki**
*I don't know how much time you have,*
**[05:44] Teratsuki**
* but if you don't do something soon,*
* you're going to die of asphyxiation.*
**[05:48] Ken**
What?!
**[05:49] Teratsuki**
*Now, then... I wish you all luck.*
**[05:53] Teratsuki**
*Do your best.*
**[05:55] Ken**
Shit! You can't be serious!
**[05:57] Ken**
Is he trying to kill us all?
**[06:00] Shirou**
Please calm down, Habara-san.
**[06:02] Shirou**
It's not as simple as he made it sound.
**[06:05] Ken**
But—
**[06:06] Shirou**
Just because he shut off the air ducts
**[06:08] Shirou**
doesn't mean he can completely
shut off the air supply in here.
**[06:12] Shirou**
This is just a bluff.
**[06:13] Ken**
And what's he doing that for?
**[06:17] Shirou**
Think about what someone who panicked
in this situation would do.
**[06:23] Ken**
They'd run.
**[06:25] Ken**
But the exits are...
**[06:27] Shirou**
Yes, they're blocked off.
**[06:30] Ken**
Which means... up above!
**[06:33] Shirou**
Yes.
**[06:34] Shirou**
Those who want to survive
will naturally head up.
**[06:38] Shirou**
He's probably doing this
to lead people to him.
**[06:43] Ken**
This is seriously like some game.
**[06:46] Ken**
I guess the first thing we
gotta do is get out of here.
**[06:50] Shirou**
Yes. Let's go.
**[06:54] Ken**
I guess she had pretty good taste, though.
**[06:57] Shirou**
What do you mean?
**[06:58] Ken**
That girl who was in love with you.
**[07:01] Ken**
She had good taste.
**[07:05] Shirou**
Oh... You think so?
**[07:11] Kei**
What's going on?
**[07:13] Kei**
Is your end goal to kill everyone
in this building? Is that all?
**[07:20] Saotome**
Who knows? What do you think?
**[07:23] Kei**
I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!
**[07:26] Saotome**
It's not like you to worry,
**[07:30] ---**
Miss President.
**[07:34] Saotome**
This is how it should be.
You were brave back then, too.
**[07:39] Saotome**
You were there, Saotome Masami was there...
**[07:44] Saotome**
Now, if only Tanaka Shirou were
here, it'd be just like back then.
**[07:50] Kei**
What are you getting at?
**[07:52] Saotome**
Kirima Nagi might come save you again.
**[07:57] Kei**
I'm not counting on it.
**[08:05] Saotome**
Is something the matter, President?
**[08:08] Kei**
I get it now, Saotome-kun.
**[08:12] Saotome**
What do you mean?
**[08:14] Kei**
What I left with you.
**[08:18] Kei**
The reason why the King of Distortion
appeared as Saotome Masami before me.
**[08:25] Kei**
I know why now.
**[08:33] Keiji**
Miyashita...
**[08:37] Touka**
You called?
**[08:40] Keiji**
M-Miyashita?
**[08:43] Keiji**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[08:46] Touka**
Senpai, how much time are
you going to waste out here?
**[08:50] Touka**
Aren't you going to go inside?
**[08:53] Keiji**
Y-You're... the King of Distortion?
**[08:58] Touka**
If you want to go in, follow me.
**[09:01] Keiji**
H-Hey!
**[09:05] Keiji**
What the hell is going on?
**[09:17] Touka**
This is a dream world,
with just the two of us.
**[09:22] Touka**
Everyone else's realities are
being shifted just a bit.
**[09:28] Keiji**
Shifted?
**[09:34] Keiji**
Hey, what are you doing?
**[09:40] Keiji**
What the hell?
**[09:41] Touka**
It's just a staff entrance.
**[09:45] Touka**
Say, Senpai.
**[09:47] Touka**
Come and get me.
**[09:50] Keiji**
W-Wait!
**[09:59] Shirou**
Habara-san.
**[10:00] Ken**
Here?
**[10:01] Shirou**
Yes. The sound is different
just in this one spot.
**[10:05] Ken**
Which must mean there's a hatch
somewhere used for inspections...
**[10:10] Shirou**
Let's hurry.
**[10:11] Ken**
Yeah.
**[10:21] Sakiko**
I can't go back...
**[10:23] Sakiko**
Can't I go back there anymore, Hinako?
**[10:31] Sakiko**
Everything should just fall apart.
**[10:51] Sakiko**
Boogiepop...
**[10:59] Sakiko**
You... saved me?
**[11:02] Boogiepop**
I'm not sure.
**[11:04] Sakiko**
U-Um... You're, uh...
**[11:10] Boogiepop**
Precisely. My name is Boogiepop.
**[11:14] Boogiepop**
You seem to already know that.
**[11:17] Sakiko**
Are you the real Boogiepop?
**[11:19] Boogiepop**
Who knows? Is there anything
that's really real in this world?
**[11:26] Sakiko**
That's not what I'm saying...
**[11:29] Sakiko**
What I'm saying is...
Do you actually... um...
**[11:33] Boogiepop**
Do I actually kill people?
**[11:35] Boogiepop**
Yes, I do. Isn't that why all
of you call me a reaper?
**[11:44] Sakiko**
Why do you kill people?
**[11:46] Boogiepop**
Because that's my job.
**[11:49] Boogiepop**
The ones I kill tend to be
enemies of this world.
**[11:54] Sakiko**
How do you choose those people?
**[11:57] Boogiepop**
I don't actually get to choose.
**[12:01] Boogiepop**
Much of the time,
**[12:02] Boogiepop**
the ones who are to be killed
automatically appear in front of me.
**[12:07] Sakiko**
Does that mean they appear in front
of you, asking you to kill them?
**[12:13] Sakiko**
I think I get that.
**[12:16] Boogiepop**
I'm not so sure.
**[12:18] Boogiepop**
No human actually *wants* to be killed.
**[12:23] Sakiko**
That's not true!
**[12:24] Sakiko**
There have to be people who are sick
of living and truly want to be killed!
**[12:30] Boogiepop**
That just means they have a choice.
**[12:34] Boogiepop**
If they live any longer, then what
they've lived for all along will die.
**[12:40] Sakiko**
What do you mean?
**[12:42] Boogiepop**
In order to have the right
to ask to be killed,
**[12:46] Boogiepop**
you have to actually live first.
**[12:52] Boogiepop**
Do you really...
**[12:54] Boogiepop**
have that right?
**[12:57] Sakiko**
But I'm really awful! I'm a really
terrible, horrible human being!
**[13:03] Boogiepop**
Does being bad make it okay to kill you?
**[13:05] Sakiko**
Of course it does!
**[13:07] Sakiko**
The world would be a little better
off with fewer bad people!
**[13:11] Boogiepop**
So a world where only good people live?
**[13:16] Sakiko**
Yes... Not someone like me...
**[13:20] Sakiko**
But where someone like Hina-chan
is living peacefully...
**[13:23] Sakiko**
She was...
**[13:26] Sakiko**
She was a much, much better
person than I was...
**[13:29] Sakiko**
And yet, I'm still here...
**[13:34] Boogiepop**
Was your King of Distortion nice to you?
**[13:39] Sakiko**
Yes... She said I had to change
all this pain into gold...
**[13:47] Boogiepop**
What does that mean?
**[13:50] Sakiko**
I-I don't really understand, either...
**[13:54] Sakiko**
But I thought I had to do it.
**[13:57] Sakiko**
I'd do anything to live
with Hina-chan there...
**[14:04] Boogiepop**
She is a part of you.
**[14:10] Boogiepop**
If she was kind, that's
actually your own kindness.
**[14:18] Boogiepop**
Apparently the King of Distortion
is like me and doesn't have a body.
**[14:24] Boogiepop**
The distortion within your heart
took form and came outside.
**[14:30] Boogiepop**
Which means that you've been distorting
your own kindness this whole time.
**[14:39] Boogiepop**
That's in no way an easy thing.
**[14:42] Boogiepop**
I'm sure that distortion has been
causing you pain for a very long time.
**[14:48] Boogiepop**
But at the same time,
the amount of pain you felt
**[14:52] Boogiepop**
just shows how kind you actually are.
**[15:01] Boogiepop**
She appeared to show you that.
**[15:10] Boogiepop**
I believe that you've already achieved it.
**[15:17] Boogiepop**
If your feelings aren't already gold,
**[15:22] Boogiepop**
then I'm pretty sure nothing
in this world actually glitters.
**[15:30] Boogiepop**
Good grief...
**[15:38] Boogiepop**
It appears that this isn't
going to end easily.
**[15:46] Shirou**
Was he controlling the
Moon Temple from here?
**[15:50] Ken**
Nah. If that were the case, there'd be no
reason to make this huge-ass building.
**[15:56] Shirou**
Which means...
**[16:24] Ken**
Anyway, I'm gonna see if I can
undo the locks on this building.
**[16:36] Teratsuki**
*Hello. Great job making it this far.*
**[16:40] Teratsuki**
* You... Or a few of you... I don't know*
* if there's only one of you or many,*
**[16:46] Teratsuki**
* but I wanted to congratulate*
* you on making it to this point.*
**[16:50] Ken**
Teratsuki Kyouichirou...
**[16:53] Teratsuki**
As you may have figured out,
this Moon Temple was built
**[16:56] Teratsuki**
simply just to lure you here right now.
**[17:04] Teratsuki**
Ah, yes. I should probably
explain a few things.
**[17:08] Teratsuki**
Have you ever thought that there was
something like a flow to this world?
**[17:17] Teratsuki**
Such as fate or a trend.
**[17:21] Teratsuki**
Have you ever thought about
what that might actually be?
**[17:25] Teratsuki**
That's a question that humans have
considered since their creation.
**[17:33] Teratsuki**
And that continues, even now.
**[17:37] Teratsuki**
Evolution is an idea born from that.
**[17:43] Teratsuki**
With evolution, there's somewhat
of a directionality or a flow.
**[17:52] Teratsuki**
So it's only natural to think...
**[17:56] Teratsuki**
Is that flow still flowing even now?
**[18:01] Teratsuki**
If that's the case, is there any
way to know what lies ahead,
**[18:05] Teratsuki**
or at least know the way to get there?
**[18:09] Teratsuki**
But that's God's territory.
**[18:13] Teratsuki**
At the same time, there's no point
in time that some person with power
**[18:18] Teratsuki**
didn't try to enter that territory
in the history of humanity.
**[18:21] Teratsuki**
*But currently, there are no obvious
people with authority or rulers.*
**[18:24] Ken**
What the hell is he talking about?
**[18:29] Teratsuki**
*All that exists is a system.*
**[18:33] Teratsuki**
This system happens to be
called the Towa Organization,
**[18:37] Teratsuki**
and is where I'm employed. They are
also responsible for my creation.
**[18:42] Teratsuki**
Yes, I am a synthetic human
created by the Towa Organization
**[18:47] Teratsuki**
to manipulate the economy however
the Towa Organization wanted it to move.
**[18:52] Teratsuki**
*But my role is about to come to an end.*
**[18:56] Teratsuki**
I became a little too powerful, so
they will probably dispose of me soon.
**[19:04] Teratsuki**
That's why I thought I'd play with
the Towa Organization a little bit.
**[19:09] Teratsuki**
That's why I built this Moon Temple.
**[19:14] Teratsuki**
I am sure that after my death, the Moon
Temple will become some kind of spectacle.
**[19:20] Teratsuki**
Perhaps you are one of the
people who came to see it.
**[19:24] Teratsuki**
Or maybe you're one of the event staff.
**[19:27] Teratsuki**
Regardless, I'm sure you
never dreamed that you'd
**[19:31] Teratsuki**
get caught up in something like this.
**[19:33] Teratsuki**
But you are here, and you
were meant to come here.
**[19:39] Teratsuki**
You were trapped within this building
and put to sleep with sleeping gas.
**[19:45] Teratsuki**
But what's important is
the fact that you awakened
**[19:49] Teratsuki**
and came all the way here.
**[19:54] Teratsuki**
There are those in this world who can
understand things that should not be understood,
**[19:58] Teratsuki**
those who go to places they
should not be able to go.
**[20:02] Teratsuki**
Those are the ones the Towa
Organization is wary of.
**[20:08] Teratsuki**
You understand now, don't you?
**[20:10] Teratsuki**
* You are someone who can become an*
* enemy to the Towa Organization.*
**[20:15] Teratsuki**
That's what I wanted to tell you.
**[20:18] Teratsuki**
That's the sole reason that
I built this Moon Temple,
**[20:22] Teratsuki**
using every last bit of Teratsuki
Kyouichirou's remaining fortune.
**[20:27] Teratsuki**
Just to tell you to be careful.
**[20:33] Teratsuki**
To undo the current lockdown
upon the Moon Temple...
**[20:41] Teratsuki**
Stairway to Heaven.
**[20:45] Teratsuki**
*I'll just leave it at that.*
**[20:47] Teratsuki**
*If you type that in, everything will unlock.*
**[20:52] Teratsuki**
* At the same time, all these*
* records will be erased.*
**[20:57] Teratsuki**
*Listen carefully. You are a possibility.*
**[21:01] Teratsuki**
* I cannot even begin to fathom*
* to what extent that may be,*
**[21:03] Teratsuki**
* and I'm sure you don't*
* know yourself at this time.*
**[21:11] Teratsuki**
So, what's important is what
you do with that possibility
**[21:17] Teratsuki**
and how much you grow.
**[21:21] Teratsuki**
I wish you the best.
**[21:27] Teratsuki**
Ah, it's you, Eugene.
**[21:30] Teratsuki**
I'm sure you'll have no
problem making me disappear.
**[21:39] Ken**
What... the hell is this?
**[21:42] Shirou**
I see.
**[21:44] Shirou**
That's what's going on.
**[21:46] Ken**
Uh, what are you talking about, Shirou?
**[21:49] Ken**
This is so messed up.
**[21:51] Shirou**
What do you mean?
**[21:52] Ken**
What? That didn't explain anything!
**[21:56] Ken**
The only things that made sense are that
we're trapped in here and were put to sleep.
**[22:02] Ken**
Why... Why didn't he mention anything
about the King of Distortion?
