[00:08] Aya     All of it. [00:09] Aya     I want everything you have. [00:12] Dealer B     Huh? [00:13] Dealer A     Can you afford that? [00:14] Aya     No. [00:15] Dealer A     What?! [00:16] Aya     I don't have any money... [00:18] Aya     But I'm telling you to give me     all of the drugs that you have. [00:23] Dealer A     Who the hell do you think you are?! [00:28] Dealer C     Hey! [00:30] Dealer A     Why, you— [00:31] Dealer A     You think you can get away?! [00:39] Masaki     Uh... [00:41] Masaki     I would suggest you reconsider. [00:43] Dealer B     Who the hell are you?! [00:45] Masaki     My name is Boogiepop...     That's just how it is. [00:58] Aya     Great job, Masaki. [01:03] Masaki     This outfit is so stuffy. [01:06] Aya     But that's how they're dressed,     according to the rumors. [01:09] Masaki     It's rough trying to fight     in this outfit, honestly. [01:15] Aya     You're a hero, Masaki. [01:23] Aya     Thanks to you, [01:25] Aya     we saved at least a hundred people from     ever coming in contact with these drugs. [01:29] Aya     It's quite noble. [01:30] Masaki     Noble, huh? [01:33] Aya     Oh... Your hand. [01:36] Masaki     Huh? My hand? [01:38] Masaki     It's not a big deal. [01:41] Aya     I'm sorry. [01:44] Aya     It's all my fault. SIGN    Boogiepop and Others [03:17] Masaki     Before I knew it, about two weeks     had passed since we started SIGN    Dengeki Bunko [03:21] Masaki     this charade of me acting as Boogiepop. [03:28] Masaki     School's going to start soon.     What should we do? [03:35] Masaki     I mean, we can't keep doing this forever... [03:37] Masaki     Right? (Flashback) [03:40] Masaki     Y-You're asking me to wear that? (Flashback) [03:42] Aya     You'll wear it when you appear. (Flashback) [03:49] Masaki     Does this work? (Flashback) [03:51] Masaki     You think I went too hard on this groper? (Flashback) [03:53] Aya     You really are amazing, Masaki. (Flashback) [03:56] Masaki     I don't really like using you as bait, though. [03:59] Masaki     I still have no idea why     she wants me to do this. [04:03] Masaki     I'm actually relieved that today was a dud. [04:05] Masaki     It'd be scary if we got attacked all the time. [04:10] Masaki     What should we do? Should we keep doing this? [04:15] Aya     Masaki. [04:16] Masaki     What's up? [04:18] Aya     Isn't there anything you     want me to do for you? [04:22] Masaki     I'll do anything you say. I'll do     anything you want, Masaki. [04:29] Aya     I know that's not enough... But... [04:33] Aya     I'll do everything you desire. [04:39] Masaki     In that case... Why don't we continue     this Boogiepop thing a little longer? [04:45] Aya     Are you sure? [04:46] Masaki     Yeah. I'm actually starting     to have some fun with it, too. [04:55] Aya     You're such an idiot, Masaki. [04:57] Masaki     Yeah... [05:05] Masaki     Well, see you later. [05:06] Aya     Hey, Masaki. Do you— [05:15] Masaki     Did you say something? [05:17] Aya     No, it's nothing. [05:19] Masaki     Well, goodnight. [05:22] Aya     Goodnight. [05:30] Aya     Hello, this is Orihata. [05:32] Spooky     Camille? [05:34] Aya     Yes. [05:35] Spooky     The bastard hasn't fallen for the trap yet? [05:38] Aya     Not as of yet. [05:40] Spooky     Guess they're not gonna fall for something     as dumb as having a fake waltzing around. [05:45] Spooky     Whatever. [05:46] Spooky     We're going to have Taniguchi     Masaki do something else for us. [05:50] Spooky     Cut ties with him for now. [05:52] Spooky     If it comes down to it, I'm thinking     about sterilizing this whole area. [05:57] Spooky     I'll send you further instructions later. [05:59] Spooky     That's all. [06:11] Sasahara     Hello, this is Sasahara. [06:13] Spooky     I put the drugs in a coin locker. [06:16] Spooky     Add them to the drinks you serve     at the fast food place you work at. [06:20] Sasahara     Understood. Carrying out command. [06:28] Spooky     What? [06:29] Terminal B     Periodic report. [06:30] Spooky     Yeah? [06:31] Terminal B     70% of the spiked cream has been sold. [06:35] Terminal B     However, there are no visible changes     to the customers who have purchased it. [06:38] Spooky     All right. Begin stage two on the customers     who purchased the spiked cream, [06:42] Spooky     regardless of the results. [06:44] Terminal B     Understood. [06:47] Terminal C     Urgent report. [06:49] Spooky     Did you find something out?! [06:50] Terminal C     Apparently, they appear near the     expressway overpass sometimes. [06:53] Spooky     That's the fake that I have walking around! [06:56] Spooky     Anything else? [06:57] Terminal C     There's a rumor that a shadowy figure like     them was spotted on the roof of Twin City. [07:01] Spooky     I know that already! Look into this     stuff before calling me, damn it! [07:07] Spooky     Curse you, Boogiepop... [07:10] Spooky     If it comes down to it, I'll level this     whole place just to get rid of you! [07:14] Spooky     I can't seem to stop thinking     about what they said, though. (Flashback) [07:19] Boogiepop     I'm currently trying to find the     Imaginator that's reemerged... [07:24] Spooky     If I can figure out who the hell this     Imaginator is, I might be able to... SIGN    No Trespassing [07:41] Kotoe     When I get really depressed, I always     come here, to my secret place. (Flashback) [07:47] Kazuko     Listen. (Flashback) [07:48] Kazuko     Try not to go near him until     I figure out what's going on. [08:00] Kotoe     I first met Jin-niisan when I was five. (Flashback) [08:05] Father     You finally have the nerve to show     your face, and this is what you do? (Flashback) [08:09] Father     Stop it, Nii-san. (Flashback) [08:11] Father     It was your decision to leave the     family. I have no money to lend you. (Flashback) [08:15] Jin     Uncle's right, Father. (Flashback) [08:17] Jin     There's no way he'd let you     borrow money so carelessly. (Flashback) [08:20] Jin     Let's go home. (Flashback) [08:22] Jin's Father     Yeah, you're right... [08:24] Kotoe     He was my first love, but I had     no idea what to say to him. [08:30] Kotoe     I thought I'd never see him again. [08:35] Kotoe     But then, when I was nine, [08:37] Kotoe     we would end up meeting again in     a way I couldn't have imagined. (Flashback) [08:40] Father     You don't need any money? (Flashback) [08:42] Jin's Father     Yeah, I'm sorry about back then. (Flashback) [08:44] Jin's Father     I don't need money anymore, though. (Flashback) [08:47] Father     Then what do you want? (Flashback) [08:49] Jin's Father     Koji, do you have any interest in paintings? (Flashback) [08:53] Father     Paintings? (Flashback) [08:53] Jin's Father     Absolute masterpieces. (Flashback) [08:55] Jin's Father     My current line of work deals with them. (Flashback) [08:59] Father     You're selling paintings?     But that line of work (Flashback) [09:02] Father     requires you to have a really careful      eye or you'll mess up someday. (Flashback) [09:05] Jin's Father     I have nothing to worry about.      I'm letting him handle all of that. (Flashback) [09:10] Father     You're leaving it to Jin? (Flashback) [09:11] Jin's Father     He's a genius. He's already gotten     countless awards for his art. (Flashback) [09:15] Father     I see... Are you planning on becoming     an artist in the future, Jin? (Flashback) [09:20] Jin     It's my dream. [09:27] Kotoe     Then, that night... (Flashback) [09:49] Kotoe     What were you doing? (Flashback) [09:51] Jin     Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. (Flashback) [09:55] Jin     I was just hoping it would snow. (Flashback) [09:58] Kotoe     Snow? (Flashback) [09:59] Jin     Yeah... I could've sworn     it looked like it might. (Flashback) [10:03] Kotoe     Do you like snow? (Flashback) [10:05] Jin     Yeah. I know it seems a bit childish, but... [10:10] Kotoe     Shortly afterward, my uncle passed away, [10:13] Kotoe     and Jin-niisan was all alone. [10:19] Kotoe     The cause of his death is still unclear. [10:21] Kotoe     There were no signs of poisoning, so the     cause of death was left undetermined. (Flashback) [10:26] Lady     He's such a good boy.     They should just adopt him. (Flashback) [10:29] Lady B     But he declined the offer, didn't he? [10:33] Kotoe     But I was somewhat relieved that     we could continue as cousins, [10:37] Kotoe     rather than as brother and sister. [10:43] Kotoe     And yet... [10:48] Kotoe     Jin-niisan... [10:50] Spooky     Ah, so that's the name of your man? SIGN    Identification Card No. °°°°     This card proves that this individual is a student at this school.          Grade: Year 2     Name: Kinukawa Kotoe     Date of Birth: °°°°/°°/°°     Shinyou Academy High School [10:56] Spooky     Her name's Kinukawa Kotoe, and     she's seventeen years old... [11:01] Spooky     Kinukawa? SIGN    The Ladder Ferris Wheel Bathrooms & Rest Areas SIGN    Kinukawa Enterprises [11:06] Spooky     So that's why she has the master key. [11:13] Spooky     Perfect. I'll use this to find out     more about this Imaginator. [11:28] Kotoe     There's something I want to ask you. [11:30] Bartender     Huh? [11:31] Kotoe     Have you ever heard of the Imaginator? [11:39] Big guy     Hey, where did you hear that name? [11:41] Big guy     Where the hell is that bastard? [11:43] Kotoe     Ah, so it's one person? [11:45] Big guy     I'm asking the questions here! [11:47] Big guy     Listen up. I know guys who got all screwed up [11:50] Big guy     thanks to that Imaginator bastard! [11:53] Kotoe     Screwed up? Could you elaborate     a bit more on that? [11:58] Kotoe     I'll definitely pay you for the intel. [12:01] Big guy     Who the hell are you? [12:03] Kotoe     Well, I'm definitely not     a friend of the Imaginator. [12:11] Big guy     I haven't seen 'em personally. [12:14] Big guy     I just know a guy who happened to     coincidentally see this freak in action. [12:18] Kotoe     You're making it sound like they saw      some supernatural phenomenon. [12:22] Big guy     Well, he did. [12:23] Big guy     He doesn't know how, but he said this freak     managed to send a bunch of guys flying. [12:31] Kotoe     Flying? [12:32] Big guy     Yeah. But he didn't punch or kick 'em. [12:36] Big guy     And the ones who got sent flying... [12:41] Big guy     turned on the others. [12:44] Kotoe     You make it sound like     they're some kind of monster. [12:46] Big guy     Yeah... I don't know what's going on, either. [12:50] Kotoe     What happened to the guys     who got sent flying? [12:53] Big guy     What happened to 'em? [12:55] Kotoe     You mentioned they were all messed up. [12:57] Big guy     Right. [12:58] Big guy     I happened to run into a guy named     Tsuyoshi just once after that. [13:01] Big guy     We were never close,     but when I called out to him... [13:08] Big guy     The bastard looked over at me and smiled. [13:12] Kotoe     And what's so weird about that? [13:14] Big guy     He's just not the type to do that. [13:16] Big guy     I didn't know about the Imaginator back then. [13:20] Big guy     It was just like he was     a totally different person. [13:24] Kotoe     I see... [13:25] Kotoe     So what I've gathered is that the     Imaginator does something to these people [13:30] Kotoe     and draws them to their side. [13:33] Big guy     Something like that. [13:35] Kotoe     So what did their voice sound like? [13:37] Big guy     Voice? [13:38] Kotoe     Your friend heard them announce themselves. [13:40] Kotoe     That's how you found out their name, right? [13:42] Big guy     Yeah, he said it sounded really clear. [13:45] Big guy     They apparently sounded all high and mighty. [13:47] Kotoe     He didn't see their face, though? [13:49] Big guy     Nope. [13:50] Big guy     Come to think of it... [13:51] Kotoe     What? [13:52] Big guy     He did mention something about the color     white... like, he saw a figure in white. [14:00] Big guy     What's your problem? Did that ring a bell? [14:02] Kotoe     Damn it! I can't access it! [14:05] Big guy     Hey... [14:06] Kotoe     Never mind. It's nothing. [14:09] Big guy     Hey, who the hell are you? [14:12] Big guy     What are you gonna do with all this info? [14:14] Kotoe     You don't want to get     revenge for your friends? [14:18] Big guy     And how am I supposed to do that? [14:24] Kotoe     Use this cash to gather up some people. [14:26] Kotoe     Then we're going to hunt the Imaginator down. [14:30] Big guy     H-How the hell'd you get all this money? [14:33] Kotoe     This is nothing... At least, to me. [14:40] Nagi     Hey, Masaki. [14:43] Masaki     What's up? [14:44] Nagi     You've been going out a lot lately. [14:47] Masaki     You think so? [14:48] Nagi     And you've been coming home     late. What've you been up to? [14:51] Masaki     It's not a big deal. [14:57] Nagi     What are these calluses? [14:59] Masaki     I've just been practicing karate. [15:01] Masaki     I'd been out of practice     since I got to Japan. [15:03] Nagi     Didn't Sakakibara-sensei tell you that     you'd get clobbered if you got too cocky? [15:09] Masaki     I know. I promise I'm not being cocky. [15:12] Masaki     There's just some stuff I'm thinking about. [15:17] Nagi     I hope you actually understand... SIGN    Café Tristan [15:23] Kotoe     Oh? So that's your boyfriend? [15:25] Kotoe     He's pretty hot. [15:35] Aya     Masaki, I... [15:37] Masaki     Is she a friend of yours? [15:39] Aya     She's... my senpai at school. [15:42] Kotoe     The name's Kinukawa Kotoe. Nice to meet you. [15:48] Masaki     Likewise. [15:49] Kotoe     Wow, you must be used to     girls if you didn't even [15:52] Kotoe     hesitate to take another girl's hand. [15:54] Masaki     Seriously, who are you? [15:56] Kotoe     I'm Orihata-san's friend, just like you... [16:01] Kotoe     Right, Boogiepop-san? [16:05] Aya     Kinukawa-san knows about us... [16:08] Kotoe     Yes, and I'd love to help out. [16:12] Masaki     And why do you want to help? [16:13] Kotoe     Do I really need a reason     to do the right thing? [16:16] Kotoe     You should totally keep     at it, Taniguchi-kun. [16:19] Kotoe     She came to talk to me about it. [16:21] Kotoe     You actually don't want to     do it anymore, do you? [16:34] Masaki     Orihata, come with me for a sec. [16:36] Kotoe     Oh, don't mind me. I won't get in your way. [16:40] Masaki     I'll pay your tab. Please take your time. [16:48] Aya     Masaki, I... [16:51] Masaki     What did she do to you? [16:53] Aya     Nothing... [16:55] Masaki     Who the hell does she think she is? [16:57] Masaki     Does she have something on you? [16:59] Aya     It's nothing like that. Really. [17:02] Masaki     Then what the hell is going on? [17:04] Masaki     She definitely didn't seem like a friend. [17:08] Masaki     If you're in some kind of trouble, I can— [17:09] Aya     She saw the outfit. [17:11] Masaki     Outfit? [17:12] Aya     Yes. She's the daughter of the landlord     in my apartment building, so... [17:19] Masaki     Kinukawa? Like Kinukawa Enterprises? [17:22] Aya     Yes. [17:23] Masaki     But why would she... [17:25] Aya     Well... (Flashback) [17:31] Kotoe     It's convenient that you just happened to     be living in Kinukawa Kotoe's territory. (Flashback) [17:35] Kotoe     I'm going to make this my base     for hunting down this Imaginator. (Flashback) [17:40] Aya     Imaginator? (Flashback) [17:42] Kotoe     I've got plenty of people     ready to hunt them down. (Flashback) [17:45] Kotoe     You're going to take care of those men. (Flashback) [17:47] Aya     B-But then, Masaki will... (Flashback) [17:50] Kotoe     I told you. We're done with that brat. (Flashback) [17:56] Kotoe     What? (Flashback) [17:58] Kotoe     Don't tell me you still don't     want that brat to hate you. (Flashback) [18:03] Aya     But the Towa Organization told me that     I shouldn't let anyone hate me... (Flashback) [18:07] Aya     So... (Flashback) [18:08] Kotoe     What?! (Flashback) [18:09] Kotoe     You think you've got any right     to get picky about men now? (Flashback) [18:14] Kotoe     Just so you know, I'm not some terminal. (Flashback) [18:17] Kotoe     I'm a copy. (Flashback) [18:19] Kotoe     How many guys have you taken     since you left the facility? (Flashback) [18:24] Aya     I... (Flashback) [18:25] Kotoe     All because they wanted     to see if synthetic humans (Flashback) [18:28] Kotoe     could crossbreed with normal ones... (Flashback) [18:30] Kotoe     But you didn't get knocked up even once. (Flashback) [18:32] Aya     Right... (Flashback) [18:33] Kotoe     I've actually succeeded, and I don't     even have anything down there! (Flashback) [18:37] Kotoe     So why the hell does a failure     like you get to have all the fun?! (Flashback) [18:41] Kotoe     God damn it! (Flashback) [18:43] Kotoe     Listen carefully, Camille. (Flashback) [18:45] Kotoe     Before we cut that brat loose,     see if you can crossbreed with him. (Flashback) [18:48] Aya     Then Masaki will be freed     from all of this, right? (Flashback) [18:52] Kotoe     Huh? Yeah, sure. [18:55] Aya     Thank goodness. [18:57] Aya     Masaki won't have to be Boogiepop anymore. [19:03] Aya     Masaki... I must save Masaki.

[19:18] Aya     Yes. [19:19] Masaki     This doesn't concern you anymore.     I'll keep doing it on my own. [19:22] Aya     Huh? [19:23] Aya     What do you mean, Masaki? [19:25] Masaki     As I said... I'm going to     keep going on my own. [19:30] Aya     But why? You didn't want     to do it in the first place. [19:33] Masaki     In that case... You didn't want     to do it either, did you? [19:40] Masaki     You should've just been honest about it! [19:43] Aya     I... [19:45] Masaki     I didn't want to keep putting you     in danger as the bait, either. [19:48] Masaki     But I thought this was     what you wanted, so I... [19:53] Aya     Why... Why are you... [20:01] Masaki     I'm going. Bye. [20:14] Aya     Masaki! [20:14] Spooky     Wait. [20:16] Aya     Please, let me go! [20:17] Spooky     Excellent work, Camille. [20:20] Spooky     Change of orders. [20:22] Spooky     Apparently, he's going to continue     being Boogiepop on his own. [20:26] Spooky     You said you wanted it to stop, [20:28] Spooky     so I came to convince you to reconsider... [20:29] Spooky     I dunno what's going on,     but apparently he's a moron. [20:32] Aya     What do you mean? [20:33] Spooky     Sooner or later, they're going to find     Boogiepop's corpse in some alley. [20:40] Aya     So by "cutting him loose"... [20:41] Spooky     Yeah. Then everyone will find out     that the true identity behind [20:45] Spooky     the legendary Boogiepop is just     some pathetic, heartbroken idiot! [20:49] Aya     No! You can't! [20:55] Aya     I'll report back to the Towa     Organization regarding Boogiepop... [20:59] Spooky     Do you actually think you still     work for the Towa Organization? [21:05] Spooky     The Towa Organization... Axis has     already abandoned you! [21:12] Spooky     Listen up. You're nothing     but a tool for me, Spooky E! [21:19] Aya     M-Masaki... [21:23] Masaki     I'm such an idiot! (Flashback) [21:26] Jin     Contrary to her demeanor, I'm pretty     sure she's not as calm as she seems. [21:31] Masaki     I never thought too deeply about why     Orihata would want to do any of this. (Flashback) [21:37] Masaki     Are your parents strict, or what? (Flashback) [21:39] Aya     I don't have any. [21:41] Masaki     There had to be more to this... [21:43] Masaki     But I was having so much fun,     I didn't even think about it. SIGN    Walk your bicycle through [21:51] Masaki     So until I figure that out,     I'm going to continue this. [22:00] Masaki     Sorry, Nagi-neesan. I won't be     able to come home for a while.
