[00:04] ---
    Today, I overslept and didn't have
    time, so it's omelet rice again.
[00:09] ---
    You know, I don't need lunches anymore.
[00:12] ---
    Oh? Why is that?
[00:14] ---
    Most of the guys don't
    bring their own lunches.
[00:17] ---
    Everyone buys food at the school cafeteria.
[00:19] ---
    So, to get along with new friends,
    I don't need them anymore.
[00:22] ---
    That is such a pity!
[00:25] ---
    But, since I made it today, I
    want you to take it with you!
[00:29] ---
    S-Sure...
[00:35] ---
    Something nice will happen <3
[00:36] ---
    There's no way I'd be able to eat
    an omelet rice with a message
[00:39] ---
    written on it in the classroom...
[02:14] ---
    Episode 3 - Love and Flame
[02:17] ---
    Good morning.
[02:18] ---
    Yeah, morning.
[02:19] ---
    You seem to be pretty spiritless today.
[02:21] ---
    No, this is about how low my spirit is to
    begin with. Especially in the mornings.
[02:26] ---
    Then, for lunch today.
[02:29] ---
    I'll splurge and go for the limited edition
    beef tongue curry to lift your spirits up.
[02:33] ---
    Limited edition? Will you make it in time?
[02:35] ---
    If I use my ability, a piece of cake.
[02:38] ---
    Right...
[02:58] ---
    I have been waiting for you. Here you go.
[03:01] ---
    For now, I think you're better off
    if you went to the hospital....
[03:04] ---
    Oh, this? I'm pretty much used to this...
    I'm sorry to make you worry about me.
[03:09] ---
    This is an ability that is
    way too incomplete after all!
[03:17] ---
    An outpouring of spices!
    This is how curry should be!
[03:21] ---
    Delicious!
[03:22] ---
    I'm glad I could meet your expectations.
[03:25] ---
    Curry was something that
    should be spicy after all...
[03:29] ---
    It's medium spicy, but was this the
    right spice level for you then?
[03:32] ---
    The beef tongue also melts
    in your mouth! It's the best!
[03:35] ---
    You must really love curry.
[03:36] ---
    Yup, yup...
[03:37] ---
    Oh, I remember now...
[03:39] ---
    
[03:42] ---
    Yes, I understand.
[03:45] ---
    Our helper is going to
    make another appearance.
[03:47] ---
    Let's head over to the student council room.
[03:58] ---
    Why is that guy always soaking wet?
[04:01] ---
    He can't use his ability unless he
    gets soaking wet while fully clothed.
[04:05] ---
    What a cumbersome ability!
[04:13] ---
    The ability is... channeling.
[04:17] ---
    Channeling?
[04:18] ---
    Spiritualism. Allowing dead individuals
    to possess them, like ITAKO shamans.
[04:23] ---
    Not just a fraud, but someone who can
    really use it as a special ability...
[04:27] ---
    that's pretty amazing.
[04:29] ---
    One more... pyrokinesis.
[04:34] ---
    To think that someone has two abilities!
[04:37] ---
    I'd like to get moving to grab this person...
[04:41] ---
    But this is an ordinary road.
[04:43] ---
    What does that mean?
[04:45] ---
    It means, the person is on the move.
[04:47] ---
    In the middle of a weekday?
    Is the person ditching school?
[04:50] ---
    But you know, this road... this should be
    a narrow alley that is not that popular.
[04:56] ---
    What are you asserting?
[04:57] ---
    Anyhow, let's try heading
    out to this location.
[05:06] ---
    This place is it?
[05:07] ---
    Yes.
[05:17] ---
    What?
[05:18] ---
    That person was pretty desperate
    in passing through here.
[05:22] ---
    Why?
[05:23] ---
    This side is the only one
    that has no dust on it.
[05:26] ---
    In other words, whoever
    it was ran through here,
[05:28] ---
    and bumped into this box or something.
[05:29] ---
    In other words, that means
    this person was being chased?
[05:33] ---
    Sounds like an incident...
[05:35] ---
    Another troublesome one...
[05:36] ---
    For now, let's move forward.
[05:41] ---
    Two new footprints. One has a
    short stride, and one is longer.
[05:47] ---
    This totally indicates a girl
    being chased by some adult.
[05:50] ---
    We're going to hurry.
[06:03] ---
    Oh, that thing earlier?
[06:04] ---
    What was it?
[06:05] ---
    That filming session where an idol
    was being chased by a big guy, right?
[06:09] ---
    An idol?
[06:10] ---
    Let's see... that's right,
    it was Yusa Nishimori.
[06:13] ---
    I've heard of that name.
[06:15] ---
    Me, too...
[06:17] ---
    Yusarin?!
[06:18] ---
    Just as I thought! It's
    the idol that Ayumi likes!
[06:22] ---
    You know her?
[06:23] ---
    She's the vocalist for the band How
    Low Hello (nicknamed Haro-haro) –
[06:26] ---
    an upcoming idol that can sing and dance.
[06:30] ---
    You were that big an idol
    otaku? That's such a turn-off!
[06:33] ---
    When she was in 6th grade,
[06:34] ---
    her career started from the achievement
    of winning the grand prize...
[06:35] ---
    ...in the 14th reader-model audition for the
    low-teen fashion magazine "Petit Banana."
[06:40] ---
    She debuted on that magazine
    as their exclusive model!
[06:41] ---
    The year after that, she landed a job as a
[06:43] ---
    regular member of the
    "Movement Morning!" show.
[06:45] ---
    But, she quit two years later to concentrate
    on high school entrance exams.
[06:48] ---
    She re-started her career in showbiz
    after advancing to high school...
[06:50] ---
    Hold it, hold on, let's go back
    a bit to the issue at point!
[06:52] ---
    So that girl caused some issue with her
    special ability, and became a fugitive.
[06:56] ---
    Am I wrong?
[06:57] ---
    You don't have to say
    that for us to know that.
[07:00] ---
    Her agency is Sea Rex Productions.
[07:02] ---
    Wouldn't it be quicker
    if we just called them?
[07:04] ---
    We're talking about someone in showbiz.
    They won't tell us anything..
[07:08] ---
    What should we do?
[07:10] ---
    Let's see...
[07:13] ---
    Found a suspicious target.
    Going to chase him!
[07:21] ---
    Tomori!
[07:22] ---
    Otosaka, please do it!
[07:36] ---
    The one that actually gets in pain is me,
    so I rather you not use this tactic...
[07:41] ---
    This is exactly why we have you on board.
[07:46] ---
    Dammit!
[07:48] ---
    What would you do if the camcorder broke?
[07:50] ---
    Is that your issue?
[07:52] ---
    Wake up, bastard.
[07:55] ---
    Who the hell are you?
[07:57] ---
    No, who are YOU?
[08:00] ---
    if you spill it, we'll call
    an ambulance for you.
[08:03] ---
    Right now, you're headed
    straight to death, you hear?
[08:06] ---
    I was just offered a job...
[08:08] ---
    What kind?
[08:10] ---
    I can't say that...
[08:13] ---
    Is that something you'd risk your
    life to protect the secrecy of?
[08:19] ---
    I'm looking for Yusa Nishimori!
[08:22] ---
    Asked by who?
[08:24] ---
    Taiyo TV.
[08:25] ---
    Who from there?
[08:28] ---
    I don't know that far... that's the truth.
[08:33] ---
    Understood! I had already
    called for an ambulance.
[08:43] ---
    What the hell are you guys?
[08:49] ---
    We are just looking for a
    woman named Yusa Nishimori.
[08:52] ---
    Her nickname is Yusarin.
[08:53] ---
    For what?
[08:55] ---
    I don't know the reason why, but it's a fact
    that she's being chased,
[08:58] ---
    so we thought we'd help.
[09:00] ---
    You guys know Yusa?
[09:01] ---
    I'm a huge fan!
[09:03] ---
    Don't break the flow of the
    conversation every single time!
[09:05] ---
    I was watching you the whole time.
[09:06] ---
    
    How did you defeat that guy?
[09:08] ---
    With special abilities.
[09:09] ---
    That is most likely something like
    the ability that Nishimori has.
[09:15] ---
    How do you know that?
[09:16] ---
    If you trust us, I believe
    that we can save her.
[09:21] ---
    I see... then, prove to me that
    you have the same power as her.
[09:27] ---
    It's not the same power, but here.
[09:30] ---
    She disappeared?
[09:32] ---
    Here.
[09:35] ---
    Now do you believe us?
[09:37] ---
    Yeah... now, come with me. But
    I'm sure you'll be confused.
[09:42] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[09:44] ---
    Things got slightly complicated. I
    want you guys to see for yourselves.
[09:52] ---
    Impressive. it's a club.
[09:59] ---
    You don't have to go so far to film this...
[10:02] ---
    This way. Don't be slowpokes.
[10:04] ---
    I'm back.
[10:06] ---
    How was it outside?
[10:11] ---
    It actually is the real Yusarin!
[10:14] ---
    I have all the Haro-haro CDs!
[10:16] ---
    Such a turn-off!
[10:18] ---
    Thank you very much!
[10:19] ---
    It really is the girl I
    saw on TV back then...
[10:22] ---
    Hey, what's with those guys?
[10:24] ---
    They're just like Misa, and
    can use special abilities.
[10:27] ---
    Misa? So her real name wasn't Yusa but Misa?
[10:31] ---
    That's the complicated part.
[10:34] ---
    Is it all right to trust them?
[10:36] ---
    They used their powers to
    defeat those other guys.
[10:40] ---
    Now, can we ask her directly
    what's going on here?
[10:43] ---
    If you ask something stupid, don't think
    you can get out of here unscathed.
[10:46] ---
    Come on, you're being scary...
[10:49] ---
    Tomori, be careful here...
[10:51] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[10:52] ---
    Nice to meet you. I'm Tomori.
[10:55] ---
    Nice to meet you! I'm Yusa
    Nishimori, nicknamed Yusarin!
[10:59] ---
    She calls herself Yusarin?
[11:01] ---
    This is the first time I
    meet an idol in real life.
[11:04] ---
    You really are so cute that it
    feels like someone created you...
[11:07] ---
    I want to get that close, too...
[11:09] ---
    Hey, you.
[11:10] ---
    Now, now...
[11:11] ---
    So, first off, please tell me your real name.
[11:14] ---
    "My name is Yusa Kurobane!"
[11:16] ---
    I wasn't asking you.
[11:17] ---
    Your real name sounds more
    fitting as a stage name...
[11:20] ---
    Yes, I hear that often... But,
    black feathers (kurobane)
[11:24] ---
    doesn't sound too suitable for an
    idol, so they renamed me to Nishimori!
[11:28] ---
    Indeed. So, Kurobane... there are
    times that you are not Kurobane.
[11:33] ---
    Are you aware of that fact?
[11:34] ---
    She is not aware of it.
     How do you know that?
[11:37] ---
    I wasn't asking you, bastard.
[11:39] ---
    What was that?
[11:39] ---
    So, Kurobane, how is it?
[11:41] ---
    That's exactly it!
[11:43] ---
    I guess you can call it sleepwalking.
[11:45] ---
    Lately, I don't realize I fell asleep,
    and when I wake up I'm somewhere else...
[11:51] ---
    The doctors tell me that there
    is a chance that I have a
[11:54] ---
    multiple personality disorder...
[11:56] ---
    Is that so?
[11:57] ---
    It's not schizophrenia,
    so please rest assured.
[12:08] ---
    She has a special ability just like us.
[12:11] ---
    Her power is to allow a dead
    person to possess her body.
[12:15] ---
    Seriously?
[12:16] ---
    I believe that this power calls forth
    this Misa girl that you guys talk of?
[12:21] ---
    Misa?
[12:22] ---
    Is something the matter?
[12:23] ---
    Don't ask anything.
[12:25] ---
    Is it someone she knows?
[12:27] ---
    That's Yusa's sister who
    was older by a year.
[12:30] ---
    She passed away six months
    ago from an accident.
[12:33] ---
    You bastard...
[12:35] ---
    don't go blabbing this and that
    to someone stranger you just met!
[12:41] ---
    Oh, can it be that you're Misa?
[12:43] ---
    Such a cramped place... all you
    gathered here? So annoying!
[12:47] ---
    What a change in personality...
[12:55] ---
    Whoa! What an impressive ability!
[12:58] ---
    Calm down, Misa! Are you going
    to burn us all to death?
[13:05] ---
    That guy has no sense at all...
[13:10] ---
    I'm surprised.
[13:11] ---
    So she can't call the spirit forth on her
    own will, and Misa actually controls it all.
[13:16] ---
    You got a problem with that?
[13:18] ---
    Another ability that is somehow imperfect!
[13:20] ---
    That means, she has an unparalleled
    ability to be possessed.
[13:24] ---
    And Misa, who possesses Yusa,
    has the pyrokinetic ability.
[13:28] ---
    Yeah.
[13:30] ---
    What is your relationship with these two?
[13:32] ---
    They're my buddies from back when
    I was alive and mischievous.
[13:36] ---
    Do you know the reason why your
    little sister is being chased?
[13:40] ---
    It's this.
[13:42] ---
    Yusa accidentally brought this
    home on accident from some shoot.
[13:45] ---
    It belongs to one of the bigger-named
    producers at the TV station.
[13:48] ---
    Yusa accidentally read a
    text that was sent to this.
[13:51] ---
    Using up company money, connections
    to a dangerous crowd -
[13:55] ---
    stuff that will get the guy under
    arrest if this was taken to the cops.
[13:58] ---
    Did you turn the power off?
[14:00] ---
    Yeah. But it wasn't turned
    off until yesterday.
[14:03] ---
    Then they probably know already that you're
[14:05] ---
    hiding somewhere in this area from the GPS.
[14:08] ---
    Even if you returned the smartphone
    now, you won't stay safe.
[14:11] ---
    And even if you handed it to the police,
[14:13] ---
    that would mean Kurobane sold
    off that producer off...
[14:16] ---
    ...and make it impossible
    to keep working in showbiz.
[14:18] ---
    Then, I'll burn it all
    down, TV station and all.
[14:21] ---
    Are you stupid? You do that, and
    your little sister will be arrested.
[14:24] ---
    Who the hell do you think you are, huh?
[14:27] ---
    And you really want to send your little
    sister off to juvenile hall or something?
[14:32] ---
    That would be in bad sense...
[14:34] ---
    Please calm down. You want to
    save your little sister, right?
[14:38] ---
    Of course...
[14:39] ---
    Then, we should help each other, and
    instead threaten this guy instead.
[14:45] ---
    What's the chances of winning?
[14:47] ---
    I'm really good at creating plans for
    threatening others! Please trust me!
[14:52] ---
    You've got good character. All
    right, I'll do as you say.
[14:57] ---
    I'd like both of you to help as well.
[14:59] ---
    Of course.
[15:00] ---
    If Misa says so.
[15:03] ---
    Huh? Right now... was I asleep again?
[15:06] ---
    You must be tired. It's all right. Have
    some roasted marshmallows and calm down.
[15:12] ---
    Oh, the marshmallows turned into
    freshly-roasted marshmallows!
[15:18] ---
    I have absolutely no clue how I should
    approach Yusarin from now on...
[15:25] ---
    You're a scary guy.
[15:26] ---
    Then, we should first head to
    a shop that sells work clothes.
[15:29] ---
    Why?
[15:31] ---
    The two of you will need fireproof clothing.
[15:43] ---
    It's me...
[15:56] ---
    So you finally show up.
[15:59] ---
    You realized that you can't escape?
[16:00] ---
    Um, I really don't know the reason
    why I'm being chased so much.
[16:04] ---
    Did Yusarin do something wrong?
[16:07] ---
    Give me back my smartphone!
[16:09] ---
    Is this it?
[16:10] ---
    That's it!
[16:11] ---
    Even if I return it, like,
    is Yusarin still in a crisis?
[16:14] ---
    Whatever happens, there is no
    future for you in this industry.
[16:19] ---
    I don't have a future?
[16:22] ---
    You bastard! Such a person is more like you!
[16:30] ---
    I guess I'll take out one more of them...
[16:37] ---
    What... what the hell is going on?
[16:39] ---
    You probably thought that you cornered me,
[16:42] ---
    but you really didn't realize that it was
    me cornering you. You really are senseless.
[16:49] ---
    What the hell are you... are
    you really Yusa Nishimori?
[16:53] ---
    Of course, I'm Yusa Nishimori,
    the real Yusarin.
[16:58] ---
    In order for me to succeed, I can
    kill anyone, just like those guys!
[17:04] ---
    It does hurt after all!
[17:06] ---
    This is cumbersome. I'll
    get rid of them at once.
[17:13] ---
    W-W-Wait! Hold on!
[17:15] ---
    Like I'm gonna wait!
[17:25] ---
    What the hell is going on?
[17:27] ---
    We can bury you into the
    shadows at any point we want.
[17:31] ---
    I get it! I give up! Help me!
[17:34] ---
    I'll give this back to you.
[17:36] ---
    But, there is no next time.
[17:40] ---
    I'll eradicate you, no ifs, ands, or buts.
[17:50] ---
    Thank you for your assistance.
[17:52] ---
    No, you helped us.
[17:55] ---
    He believed that everything that happened
    just now was done by Yusa alone.
[17:59] ---
    That producer will no longer
    be able to go against Yusa.
[18:02] ---
    No.
[18:04] ---
    It's not settled in stone quite yet.
[18:09] ---
    And so, I'd like you to transfer into
    Hoshinoumi Academy,
[18:13] ---
    and do everything alongside us.
[18:15] ---
    Why's that?!
[18:17] ---
    Just like how I explained earlier,
[18:19] ---
    she'd get caught by the scientists and
    her days as a guinea pig will begin.
[18:22] ---
    She will never be able to return to
    normal life ever again, you know?
[18:26] ---
    The condo next to our academy will be the
[18:29] ---
    
    safest place in all of Japan for Kurobane.
[18:34] ---
    That's a life-saving story for Yusa.
[18:37] ---
    Please go ahead and do that.
[18:38] ---
    Hold on.... then, well...
[18:41] ---
    If Yusa's powers disappear...
    we can never meet Misa again?
[18:46] ---
    That's what I wanted to ask.
[18:48] ---
    Well, I guess that will happen.
[18:50] ---
    But she's already dead first
    and foremost, isn't she?
[18:52] ---
    Isn't it more abnormal that you were
    able to see her for all this time?
[18:55] ---
    But!
[18:56] ---
    Sho, everything is like what she says.
[18:59] ---
    In reality, she no longer exists.
[19:00] ---
    Maybe this is time for us
    to say goodbye to Misa...
[19:02] ---
    why don't we decide on that?
[19:07] ---
    Then, let me tell her how I truly feel...
[19:17] ---
    Well, how to put it...
[19:22] ---
    This has to be when I can't
    think of anything to say...
[19:25] ---
    Sho, did you have the hots for me?
[19:32] ---
    That's right. Misa, I loved you. It's
    embarrassing to say, but I was in love.
[19:40] ---
    But you passed away before
    I could tell you that...
[19:43] ---
    And it was an accident while we were
    riding one motorcycle together.
[19:46] ---
    I was okay with just small wounds...
[19:48] ---
    So I was the one that killed you...
[19:52] ---
    I see. Right, right.
[19:55] ---
    I made you harbor such immense feelings.
[19:59] ---
    But I was the one that sought
    such dangerous thrills.
[20:02] ---
    I reaped what I had sewn.
[20:07] ---
    Don't cry. That's not like you.
[20:10] ---
    Sho, forget about me, and starting
    tomorrow, live your own life.
[20:16] ---
    Don't keep dragging the dead into your life.
[20:19] ---
    Otherwise, your life would get screwed up
[20:22] ---
    and you won't be happy in the future, okay?
[20:25] ---
    Geez, you really are a troublesome boy.
[20:30] ---
    Sho...
[20:31] ---
    All right, Misa...
[20:34] ---
    I will walk down my own path
    that you are not a part of.
[20:38] ---
    I'll sever off my feelings for you...
    and that is how I will live on.
[20:42] ---
    All right! Both of you,
    lead a very happy life!
[20:47] ---
    Yeah.
[20:48] ---
    Sure thing!
[20:50] ---
    See ya! Thank you for everything until now!
[20:53] ---
    It was absolutely the most fun!
[21:00] ---
    For some reason, it was a really long day...
[21:04] ---
    You're really late! If you're going to
    be this late, I wanted you to call me!
[21:09] ---
    As for you... you were up this late?
[21:13] ---
    Eating dinner together is a rule passed
    down the Otosaka house for generations!
[21:19] ---
    I was busy again today doing
    work for the student council.
[21:23] ---
    If you say that, I can't say anything back...
[21:26] ---
    And what is the home-made food tonight?
[21:29] ---
    I am most satisfied with the
    meat-sauce spaghetti tonight!
[21:32] ---
    Otosaka house Secret! Pizza sauce.
[21:38] ---
    Oh, it's Haro-haro again.
[21:49] ---
    It really is the same person.
[21:53] ---
    Who and who are you talking of?
[21:54] ---
    Well, I mean "Yusa Nishimori,"
    and the actual person.
[21:57] ---
    The actual person? Can it be that
    you have gotten to know her?
[22:01] ---
    Oh crap... but they didn't tell
    me to stay quiet about this...
[22:05] ---
    so I guess I can tell her...
[22:07] ---
    Tomorrow, she's transferring into my academy.
[22:10] ---
    That makes me way too jealous!
[22:12] ---
    Would Ayu be able to meet her or something?
[22:15] ---
    Well, the possibility is there.
[22:20] ---
    Anyway, start by wiping your nosebleed clean.
[22:22] ---
    That is something amazing!
[22:25] ---
    Come on... you're getting
    too excited about this...
