SIGN    Sprocket Calendar January 12th, 1016 06:30 Kyoto Core Tower
[00:06] guy
    Dr. Breguet, may I
    ask where you are going?
[00:08] mar
    To inspect the situation
    in the lower floors.
[00:11] mar
    Do you really expect me to report
    every tiny detail like this?
[00:14] guy
    The Core Tower is a valuable asset
    under the jurisdiction of the military,
[00:18] guy
    so I will accompany you.
[00:20] mar
    As you wish.
[00:26] guy
    Make no mistake.
[00:28] guy
    It's the military that has final say over
    everything that happens in the Core Tower.
[00:31] guy
    I don't care if you're a meister or whatever,
[00:33] guy
    just don't act all important
    when you're merely repairmen.
[00:40] mar
    It's true, we from the
    Meister Guild are repairmen.
[00:45] mar
    That's why we are going to save
    this city, no matter the cost.
[00:52] mar
    Don't underestimate me!
SIGN    Episode 2: Purge
[02:30] mar
    Answer me.
[02:32] mar
    When is the Kyoto Grid
    purge scheduled to happen?
[02:35] guy
    In 20 hours, so tomorrow at 02:42.
[02:40] mar
    Why so soon?!
[02:42] guy
    The official statement is that
[02:44] guy
    we're conducting an emergency purge
    because of an unpredictable anomaly.
[02:48] guy
    If word gets out that we left it without
    fixing it, the military will lose face.
[02:53] mar
    You're willing to kill the 20 million people
    living in Kyoto over something like that?!
[02:58] hal
    Where is the anomaly?
[03:01] guy
    F-Floor 24, in the pressure control block.
[03:05] mar
    We're going there right away.
[03:07] guy
    You want to fix it?
[03:10] guy
    It's only 20 hours. As if you could make it.
[03:15] hal
    Thanks for the concern.
[03:18] mar
    Right, if I don't make it,
    I'm just going to die with this city.
[03:28] mar
    What?
[03:36] nao
    So loud.
[03:38] ryu
    Good morning, Master Naoto.
[03:41] ryu
    It looks like you did not sleep very well.
[03:43] ryu
    Was there something
    displeasing about my lap?
[03:46] nao
    No, no, no!
[03:47] nao
    Of course not! It was amazing!
[03:50] nao
    It's just that lately, the ground beneath
    the Core Tower has been really noisy.
[03:54] ryu
    I assume it's due to minor errors
    in the city's mechanisms.
[03:59] nao
    It's about 70,620 meters below ground.
[04:03] ryu
    That would be Floor 24.
[04:06] nao
    You know?
[04:07] ryu
    Yes. After all, both this planet and
    myself were designed by Y.
[04:16] wom
    The Meister Guild has no borders—
[04:19] wom
    The Meister Guild, huh?
[04:21] ryu
    Are you interested in joining them?
[04:23] nao
    Yes, definitely!
[04:24] nao
    You get to ogle and play with Core Towers,
[04:27] nao
    as well as clock towers, all you want!
[04:31] nao
    What a life.
[04:32] ryu
    It's a pathetic joke that the people who
    could not repair me for 206 years are
[04:41] ryu
    mankind's most skilled clocksmiths.
[04:43] nao
    Well, that's—
[04:45] nao
    Wait, 206 years?!
[04:47] nao
    So that means you were
    built even before that?
[04:50] ryu
    About a thousand years ago.
[04:51] nao
    A thousand?!
[04:55] hal
    You think you can get it going?
[04:57] mar
    I need to secure a line first.
[05:00] mar
    We have to inform everybody about the purge.
[05:02] hal
    A special emergency frequency
    for the Meister Guild, eh?
[05:05] mar
    The military is no longer just a
    hindrance. They are the enemy.
[05:09] hal
    Yeah, indeed.
[05:12] mar
    All right, I've reached the communication
    officer outside the Core Tower.
SIGN    Kyoto Central Hotel
[05:18] rim
    Kyoto Grid Communication
    Officer Limons speaking.
[05:22] rim
    Dr. Breguet?
[05:23] rim
    What happened?
[05:25] rim
    Since you're calling on the special frequency,
    I assume it's very important.
[05:29] mar
    The military intends
[05:31] mar
    to purge the Kyoto grid in 20 hours.
[05:33] rim
    That can't be! Are you sure?
[05:36] mar
    I need to speak with Service Chief
    Konrad on Floor 3 immediately.
[05:42] rim
    I will have you patched through right away.
[05:50] kon
    Meister Marie, are you all right?
[05:53] mar
    Yes, but the situation is critical.
[05:57] mar
    The military intends to purge
    the Kyoto Grid in 20 hours.
[06:00] kon
    Really? That's much earlier
    than we expected.
[06:04] mar
    The anomaly is in the pressure
    control block on Floor 24.
[06:08] mar
    Please go there immediately.
[06:10] mar
    I will meet up with you there.
[06:13] kon
    Understood, but please wait a moment.
[06:16] kon
    Our location on Floor 3
    has had its power system
[06:20] kon
    severed from the
    power spring barrel on Floor 15.
[06:24] kon
    Repairing it, let alone moving to Floor 24,
    is impossible, as of this moment.
[06:29] hal
    I guess the military has
    begun to actively sabotage us,
[06:31] hal
    seeing as we received
    information about the purge.
[06:34] mar
    So that was that noise earlier.
[06:37] kon
    We're doing everything we can to repair it,
[06:40] kon
    but it will take about four hours.
[06:42] mar
    Then going to the barrel directly
    would be faster, right?
[06:48] kon
    You're right.
[06:51] hal
    Hey, now... I shouldn't ask,
[06:54] hal
    but are you really planning on descending
    30,000 meters and reconnecting the barrel?
[06:59] mar
    You got it. We don't have time!
SIGN    Kyoto Grid Outskirts
[07:12] voi
    Commencing purge from the
    outer edge of the Kyoto Grid.
[07:19] hal
    This is a special express
    to the depths of Hell.
[07:21] hal
    Hold on tight, Princess.
[07:24] mar
    A beautiful girl is hugging you.
    You should be happier.
[07:33] kon
    Meister Marie is on her way to the barrel.
[07:36] kon
    There are ways to assist
    her a bit from here.
[07:38] kon
    Continue working!
[07:40] all
    Yes, sir!
[07:46] nao
    I bet everybody is wondering why such
    a beautiful girl like you is with me.
[07:52] ryu
    This is your school?
[07:55] nao
    Basically.
[07:56] nao
    RyuZU, what will you do while I'm at school?
[08:00] ryu
    I will do what is necessary
    to fulfill my raison d'être.
[08:06] tea
    This is sudden, but I'd like to
    introduce a transfer student.
[08:09] ryu
    I'm going to be a student
    here starting today.
[08:12] ryu
    My name is RyuZU YourSlave.
[08:15] nao
    What the heck are you doing?
[08:17] ryu
    It's not a hobby of mine to spend
    time on mediocre lower-class people,
[08:22] ryu
    so there's no need to be
    particularly friendly towards me.
[08:26] ryu
    And there is one thing I'd
    like you to remember.
[08:30] ryu
    I am Master Naoto's property.
[08:35] nao
    What the heck are you saying?!
[08:42] mar
    It's going to get narrow up ahead.
[08:45] mar
    Can you get through with your big body?
[08:46] hal
    Might be rough.
[08:49] hal
    I'm sorry, but I'm not as
    flat as you, Princess.
[08:52] mar
    What?!
[08:53] mar
    I'm still developing!
[08:55] hal
    Something to look forward to.
[08:57] hal
    Come see me again in ten years.
[08:59] mar
    Die.
[09:00] hal
    Ow.
[09:04] mar
    After this, the barrel
    should be right there.
[09:08] mar
    Make sure to stay with me.
[09:09] hal
    As you command, Princess.
[09:19] hal
    Taking them on would be a bit troublesome.
[09:23] mar
    We're taking a shortcut.
[09:24] mar
    Halter, jump!
[09:25] hal
    Sure thing.
SIGN    Kyoto Core Tower Floor 15 Barrel
[09:42] mar
    So that's the barrel's
    connection to the main shaft.
[09:46] mar
    I knew it. They were waiting for us.
[09:49] mar
    We're going in.
[09:50] mar
    Jump!
[09:51] hal
    Yes, ma'am!
[09:56] hal
    How much time should I buy you?
[10:00] mar
    Forty-one seconds.
[10:02] hal
    Right, got it.
[10:39] hal
    A VS-071a Minotaur huh?
[10:43] hal
    The latest from Vacheron.
[10:46] hal
    You want to test your
    strength against me, eh?
[10:48] hal
    You little shrimp.
[10:54] mar
    Another 120 to go!
[11:14] hal
    You bastard!
[11:23] mar
    Damn, I only had three more to go!
[11:27] mar
    There's got to be something I can do.
[11:35] kon
    Meister Marie, I hope we were
    able to offer some assistance.
[11:39] mar
    Meister Konrad! Thank you! Just one more!
[11:54] mar
    Halter!
[11:55] hal
    Yeah!
[12:12] mar
    Eighteen hours to go.
    Let's hurry back to the others.
[12:20] ryu
    Master Naoto, are you tired?
[12:24] nao
    Well, the entire time I was at
    school, I was being bombarded
[12:29] nao
    with looks of unrestrained jealousy,
    envy, resentment, and hatred, so yes.
[12:33] ryu
    You were able to secure my smile for
    yourself, a smile that even angels envy.
[12:37] ryu
    I believe you needn't worry yourself about
    the looks from those of lower birth.
[12:45] nao
    I guess so.
[12:48] ryu
    But it really hasn't changed.
[12:51] nao
    Huh? You've been to Kyoto before?
[12:55] ryu
    I meant this planet.
[12:57] ryu
    For 206, no, 1,000 years,
    it has barely changed.
[13:05] ryu
    It's stagnated.
[13:10] nao
    A thousand years, huh?
[13:12] nao
    Then, no matter how accurate the clock is,
    it most likely needs an overhaul.
SIGN    Kyoto Core Tower Floor 24
[13:20] kon
    Pressure control unit JD-90021
    is fine, so that wasn't it.
[13:27] han
    This is impossible.
[13:29] han
    The pressure control block
    has trillions of parts.
[13:34] kar
    Even if we narrow it down, we'd have
    to check about 520 million parts.
[13:40] han
    Nothing short of a miracle
    will help us find it.
[13:44] mar
    Then let's make one happen.
[13:47] mar
    There are 20 million lives at stake here.
[13:50] mar
    We have to make this repair, no matter what!
[13:55] mar
    We still have 9 hours and 44 minutes.
[13:58] mar
    Let's try to narrow it down even further.
[13:59] han
    Meister Marie, shouldn't we give an
    evacuation notice to the public, then?
[14:05] kon
    If we do that, the military might begin
    the purge earlier to cover their tracks.
[14:12] kar
    That is very likely.
[14:14] han
    Then our hands are tied.
[14:19] har
    We got a message from
    the guild headquarters.
[14:21] har
    We are to withdraw.
[14:24] mar
    Withdraw?!
[14:34] mar
    What fun we're having!
[14:37] mar
    If only RyuZU was here.
[14:39] hal
    You're saying if that thing was here
    and moving, things would be different?
[14:44] mar
    That would be a miracle in and of itself.
[14:47] mar
    Right now, I feel like grasping for anything,
    no matter if it's a legend or a straw.
[14:56] mar
    Save the 20 million in this city?
[15:01] mar
    Even if we narrow it down,
    there are 500 million parts.
[15:04] mar
    Find the defect in there?
[15:07] mar
    That's impossible.
[15:10] mar
    God.
[15:14] hal
    But you're going to do it, right, Princess?
[15:18] mar
    Of course!
[15:20] mar
    I am Marie Bell Breguet.
[15:22] mar
    A woman who never thinks that
    something is impossible!
[15:26] hal
    Then first, you have to get
    some blood into your brain.
[15:33] mar
    How dare you, Halter?
[15:43] Ryu
    What's the matter?
[15:45] nao
    RyuZU, can you try that on?
[15:50] ryu
    Um, Master Naoto?
[15:54] ryu
    I don't think this is an appropriate
    outfit for a servant.
[16:00] nao
    That's not true. It looks
    really good on you!
[16:03] nao
    RyuZU, you look great!
[16:06] ryu
    But this isn't befitting a servant.
[16:10] nao
    It's more date-like and fun this way.
[16:13] ryu
    Master Naoto, you say things like
    "going on a date with a clock"?
[16:18] nao
    You're not a clock, though.
[16:21] ryu
    Then what am I to you?
[16:26] nao
    A super-cute automaton girl.
[16:29] ryu
    I am... cute?
[16:32] nao
    Yup!
[16:33] nao
    Oh, yeah! How about letting
    your hair be more playful?
[16:37] nao
    You have such nice hair.
[16:39] nao
    Like this, and hey, stop movi—
[16:40] nao
    Ah!
[16:47] ryu
    I see. So everything was just a highly
    calculated plot for sexual harassment.
[16:55] nao
    No, no, that wasn't it!
SIGN    18:40 Kyoto Central Hotel
[17:00] rim
    I've said it before.
    Please withdraw immediately.
[17:06] mar
    But why?
[17:07] rim
    The military maintains
    all the world's Core Towers.
[17:12] rim
    That means we can't completely
    ignore their position.
[17:16] rim
    It's give and take.
[17:17] mar
    Don't be ridiculous!
[17:20] mar
    You're saying that 20 million people
    are a fair price to pay for that?!
[17:26] rim
    A regretful sacrifice.
[17:29] mar
    You're in bed with the military.
[17:33] rim
    This world cannot exist without
    both the military and the guild.
[17:39] mar
    So my communication from this
    morning was also leaked to them.
[17:43] rim
    Dr. Breguet, where are you going now?
[17:47] mar
    Isn't it obvious? I'm going
    back to resume my work!
[17:50] rim
    Then I will revoke your license.
[17:53] rim
    You're now nothing more
    than a normal civilian.
[17:56] rim
    Of course, you won't be allowed
    to enter the Core Tower, either.
[18:01] rim
    I remember now. You have
    ties with Vacheron, don't you?
[18:06] rim
    Is this all some plot orchestrated by
    Vacheron to discredit the Breguet family?
[18:12] rim
    I haven't any idea what you're talking about.
[18:19] mar
    You people!
[18:26] hal
    Marie!
[18:29] hal
    Let's go. Being here is
    nothing but sickening.
[18:34] mar
    Yeah.
[18:55] hal
    Calm down, Marie!
[18:57] mar
    Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
[19:16] mar
    Don't you get it?
[19:18] mar
    Don't you understand anything?!
[19:20] mar
    This city, the 20 million people,
[19:24] mar
    they're all just collateral
    damage in screwing me over!
[19:28] hal
    No. The military would have conducted the
    purge with or without you in the picture.
[19:34] hal
    The shitheads from Vacheron
    just went along with it.
[19:37] mar
    How can you tell?
[19:39] mar
    If I hadn't been here, the purge
    could have maybe been avoided!
[19:43] hal
    Still, it's not your fault.
[19:47] mar
    Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
[19:51] mar
    Shut up! Shut up!
[20:11] mar
    Are you calm now?
[20:13] mar
    What are you talking about?
[20:14] mar
    I have been calm for ages.
[20:17] mar
    I may be too calm.
[20:19] hal
    Doesn't look like that to me.
[20:22] mar
    All right, fine.
[20:25] mar
    If everyone's only serving to hold me back,
[20:29] mar
    then I'll just beat them to a pulp
[20:31] mar
    and figure out a way to make it work!
[20:39] nao
    Um, RyuZU, that outfit is
    just a bit unsettling...
[20:46] ryu
    I cannot comprehend why you have a
    fetish for seedy-looking uniforms,
[20:53] ryu
    but there is a time and
    place for everything.
[21:01] mar
    You don't have to come with me.
[21:03] mar
    From here on, this is me being willful.
[21:06] hal
    Of course I'm coming with you.
[21:08] hal
    I'm your bodyguard, after all.
[21:11] hal
    Besides, you're always willful.
[21:16] hal
    Shut it.
[21:19] nao
    Hey, are we really staying here?
[21:22] ryu
    Master Naoto, even if you are as
    cowardly as a flea,
[21:26] ryu
    could I ask you to have a little bit more
    dignity and composure, as my master?
[21:46] hal
    What is it, Princess?
[21:50] ryu
    What is it, Master Naoto?
