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?
