SIGN    Sprocket Calendar January 12th, 1016 19:24 Kyoto Central Hotel
[00:01] mar
    My name is Marie Bell Breguet.
[00:03] mar
    I am a member of the Meister Guild.
[00:06] mar
    We are terribly sorry for the
    trouble we have caused you.
[00:09] nao
    Is that a Chrono Compass?
[00:12] nao
    The mark of a world-class clocksmith,
    the thing that allows
[00:14] nao
    you to inspect and tinker with
    all the gears in the world?!
[00:20] mar
    May I continue?
[00:23] mar
    That YD-01, RyuZU, is the property
    of the Breguet family.
[00:28] mar
    We currently have need of it.
[00:31] mar
    Please return it immediately.
[00:33] nao
    No.
[00:36] mar
    Of course, you will be
    rewarded appropriately.
[00:38] nao
    I refuse.
[00:40] nao
    RyuZU is mine.
[00:44] mar
    Halter, let's bury this guy
    and forget we ever met him.
[00:47] mar
    That will resolve everything.
[00:51] mar
    We don't have time. We can't be picky.
[00:55] hal
    Stop it, Princess.
[00:56] mar
    Shut up! I don't have time
    to deal with this idiot.
[00:59] hal
    I told you to stop, Marie!
[01:15] ryu
    Do tell, who are you trying to kill?
SIGN    Episode 3: Conflict
[02:53] ryu
    If you honestly believe
    that a piece of junk like you,
[02:55] ryu
    who's far more inferior
    than the flea-class humans,
[02:57] ryu
    is allowed to point that toy at Master Naoto,
[03:02] ryu
    then I'll gladly turn you both
    into mincemeat.
[03:08] hal
    I wasn't serious.
[03:10] hal
    Of course, neither was the princess here.
[03:20] hal
    Princess, never say anything rash again.
[03:24] mar
    I was just almost killed!
[03:26] hal
    If she had been serious, I wouldn't
    have had time to draw.
[03:31] hal
    First, calm down.
[03:32] hal
    She is the one who is in control here.
[03:36] ryu
    I retract calling you "junk" since you
    seem to understand what is going on.
[03:41] hal
    I apologize for our rude behavior.
[03:44] hal
    I'd also like you to hear us out.
[03:51] nao
    The army wants to sacrifice
    20 million people and purge Kyoto?
[03:55] nao
    In seven hours? Tell me you're joking!
[03:58] mar
    YD-01, RyuZU.
[04:01] mar
    The Initial Y-Series are the best
    automata that the creator of the
[04:06] mar
    Clockwork Planet, Y, left behind.
[04:09] mar
    They are maintenance machines entrusted
    to the future generations.
[04:15] mar
    You awoke at this point in time because
    you are the guardian of this planet.
[04:21] mar
    Am I wrong?
[04:25] ryu
    I am sorry, but there is a severe
    problem... with your head.
[04:31] ryu
    You are so far off the mark
    that I can't tell if you're even trying.
[04:36] mar
    Hey, stop giving me that pitying look!
[04:40] mar
    Fine, then what are you?!
[04:43] ryu
    "One who follows."
[04:45] ryu
    My raison d'être is to be by Master Naoto's
    side and to do everything for him.
[04:58] ryu
    However, there is one person who
    could do what you are asking for.
[05:03] mar
    Who is that?!
[05:06] ryu
    That would be—
[05:07] nao
    RyuZU, over here!
[05:09] mar
    Hey, what?
[05:10] nao
    A big one is coming!
[05:14] mar
    A gravity anomaly?
[05:16] mar
    Did the military already begin the purge?
[05:18] hal
    No, it's way too early.
[05:38] hal
    This is quite something.
[05:41] mar
    Once the real purge begins,
    it won't be contained like this.
[05:45] nao
    RyuZU, are you okay?
[05:47] ryu
    Yes, I am fine.
[05:50] mar
    You! How could you tell?!
[05:52] nao
    How? I mean there was such
    a huge noise down below.
[05:56] mar
    Aren't those noise-canceling headphones?
[06:00] mar
    Nowadays, even the cheapest pair
    will have a 100% block rate.
[06:04] mar
    How can he even have a conversation?
[06:08] nao
    Dissonance?
[06:09] nao
    In the Core Tower, on Floor 24.
[06:13] mar
    Wait! I never even mentioned that
    the problem was on Floor 24!
[06:18] mar
    How did you...
[06:21] hal
    You mean to say you pin-pointed an anomaly
    7 km beneath us using those headphones?
[06:27] nao
    Yes, why?
[06:28] mar
    Impossible! There's no way
    a human could do that.
[06:32] ryu
    That's child's play for Master Naoto.
[06:35] ryu
    He was able to locate and fix the defect
    that kept me in a slumber for 206 years,
[06:43] ryu
    so I believe he can save this city, as well.
[06:47] mar
    So you did what generations of Breguet
    clocksmiths were unable to do?
[06:52] nao
    Well, I just have slightly better hearing.
[06:55] ryu
    Actually, you are mankind's best clocksmith.
[07:00] nao
    I'm happy that you're saying that, but...
[07:03] mra
    Naoto, was it?
[07:04] nao
    Uh, yes.
[07:06] mar
    Even now, we are not able to locate
    all the problems on Floor 24.
[07:11] mar
    But you're saying you can?
[07:13] nao
    No, from here I can't pick out the details.
[07:17] mar
    Then I'll take you there.
[07:19] mar
    Then we can stop the purge from happening.
[07:23] nao
    Why are you trying so hard?
[07:25] nao
    According to your story, you're surrounded
    by enemies and it's unclear
[07:29] nao
    what is going to happen in the future.
[07:31] nao
    So why are you not running?
[07:36] mar
    I hate to think that
    something is impossible.
[07:40] mar
    I know there are limits.
[07:42] mar
    But we are alive right now because
    there were people who didn't
[07:46] mar
    give up and kept trying.
[07:48] mar
    If I run away now, I will never be
    able to have faith in myself again.
[07:55] mar
    So please, Naoto, lend us your strength.
[08:03] nao
    I'm sorry, but—
[08:04] ryu
    Since I am nothing but
    a servant to Master Naoto,
[08:07] ryu
    I was torn if I should mention this,
[08:10] ryu
    but my younger sister is in the
    basement of the Core Tower.
[08:15] nao
    Young-er sis-ter?
[08:19] ryu
    Yes.
[08:19] ryu
    Initial Y-Series, Unit 4,
    "One who annihilates," AnchoR.
[08:25] nao
    Could you give me a little more detail?
[08:28] ryu
    She keeps her pretty black hair in
    a bob and she has bright red eyes.
[08:32] ryu
    She has a little trouble expressing her
    emotions, but she also likes to be spoiled.
[08:38] nao
    What are we doing?!
[08:39] ryu
    Let's get moving, everyone!
[08:42] ryu
    Hurry up, or I'll leave you behind!
[08:43] mar
    Did I trigger something I shouldn't have?
[08:50] mar
    If the army finds out what we're up
    to, they are sure to intervene.
[08:54] mar
    We need to make it to the
    Core Tower before that.
[08:56] nao
    Oh, they already know.
[08:59] mar
    What?
[09:01] guy
    They are approaching the
    underground parking lot.
[09:03] guy
    She is with a civilian and a bodyguard.
[09:05] ray
    Civilian? Oh, well.
[09:08] ray
    Capture Dr. Breguet alive at all costs.
[09:11] ray
    I don't care what happens to the rest.
[09:22] nao
    A dozen military automata are
    armed and ready for us.
[09:27] mar
    Hang on a second!
[09:29] mar
    If we just barge in there it will
    most definitely cause a rift
[09:32] mar
    between the guild and the military.
[09:34] mar
    If that happens...
[09:36] nao
    Um, so what exactly do you want to do?
[09:40] nao
    Play politics?
[09:41] mar
    What do you even know?!
[09:43] nao
    Nothing, that's why I am asking.
[09:45] nao
    You guys want to fix the Core Tower.
[09:48] nao
    I want to meet AnchoR.
[09:51] nao
    Isn't everything else totally irrelevant?
[10:00] mar
    Halter.
[10:01] hal
    Yup.
[10:03] mar
    It's seriously killing me that
    this doofus outargued me.
[10:08] hal
    I think it's fine.
[10:09] hal
    Children should act childlike.
[10:10] hal
    It's the job of old geezers like
    me to worry about the rest.
[10:15] mar
    You're right, I am nothing but a child.
[10:22] mar
    Time to work, Halter.
[10:23] hal
    Roger that.
[10:25] mar
    Naoto, since you're so full
    of yourself, you need to help.
[10:28] nao
    I'm super weak.
[10:32] mar
    I wasn't counting on your strength at all.
[10:34] mar
    But I was counting a little on your talent.
[10:38] nao
    Got it.
[10:49] hal
    You're so obvious!
[10:53] nao
    Mister, you're not just some cyborg!
[10:57] hal
    I'm an 8th generation Breguet unit.
[10:59] hal
    A prototype two generations
    ahead of what's current.
[11:01] nao
    Amazing! Hey, can I look inside you later?
[11:07] ryu
    Master Naoto, since you didn't unleash
    your torrent of carnal lust upon me,
[11:10] ryu
    I had wondered if you were impotent,
[11:12] ryu
    but now I see that you simply have
    that kind of sexual fetish.
[11:17] nao
    N-No, it's not like that, RyuZU!
[11:19] nao
    It's just the dream of any gear nerd!
[11:23] mar
    Jeez, what are you doing?!
[11:30] nao
    I'm sorry for being so uppity.
[11:33] mar
    I'm glad you understand.
    Just keep up with us.
[11:39] mar
    He's spot on about the location
    and type of all the enemies.
[11:42] mar
    He really can hear everything.
[11:44] mar
    This is more than just good hearing.
[11:49] nao
    By the way, Marie...
[11:51] mar
    What?
[11:52] nao
    There's a big one here.
[11:56] mar
    Optical camouflage?
[11:57] hal
    VS-08 Goliath?!
[12:00] hal
    You're really serious, aren't you?
[12:09] rim
    Marie Bell Breguet is dead?
[12:13] guy
    The battle was so close that we
    had no choice but to shoot her.
[12:17] rim
    Then let's report that Dr. Breguet
    was lost during the purge.
[12:22] guy
    Are you certain?
[12:24] rim
    If anybody finds out that someone
    from Vacheron was involved in the
[12:27] rim
    murder of Breguet's daughter,
    the army is going to collapse with us!
[12:31] rim
    Damn it! Everybody is getting in my way!
[12:40] hal
    Was that good?
[12:42] mar
    Yes, I got a perfect recording.
[12:45] mar
    With this evidence,
    I can prove the connection
[12:48] mar
    between the military,
    the guild, and Vacheron.
[12:52] hal
    Sure, but did you have
    to fake your own death?
[12:55] nao
    RyuZU, that was seriously awesome!
[13:02] ryu
    Master Naoto, truly,
    you are too easily impressed.
[13:09] mar
    Yes...
[13:11] mar
    Marie Bell Breguet is dead.
[13:14] mar
    There is nothing left that binds me.
[13:16] mar
    From here on out, I will
    do what I want, too.
[13:22] mar
    Halter.
[13:23] hal
    Right.
[13:28] nao
    Oh, no! What a waste!
[13:32] mar
    It doesn't matter.
[13:33] mar
    According to you, that thing
    was totally irrelevant.
[13:37] mar
    Right?
[13:39] mar
    Anyway, let's go and save Kyoto!
[13:47] nao
    This is...
[13:50] nao
    pretty serious.
[13:52] mar
    Halter, hurry.
[13:54] hal
    Roger.
[13:56] ryu
    Excuse me, Master Naoto.
[13:59] mar
    Huh, what are you doing—
[14:16] ryu
    Are you all right?
[14:18] nao
    Um, I'm fine, but...
[14:23] mar
    Hey! Were you trying to kill me?!
[14:27] ryu
    Oh? I thought I happened to save your
    fleeting life while saving Master Naoto.
[14:33] mar
    There are better ways!
[14:36] hal
    Sorry, but save the chat for later.
[14:46] mar
    The Core Tower's defense squad.
[14:48] hal
    Is this checkmate, then?
[14:54] nao
    RyuZU, what are you doing?
[14:56] ryu
    Eliminating them.
[14:58] ryu
    These unsightly piles of junk pointed
    their weapons at you, Master Naoto.
[15:04] ryu
    That means they are enemies
    for me to eliminate.
[15:08] mar
    What are you talking about?!
[15:09] mar
    Those are the latest military automata
    designed to protect the Core Tower!
[15:15] ryu
    Regardless of how many of
    these junk heaps there are,
[15:18] ryu
    they are no match for even me,
    the weakest among my sisters.
[15:23] ryu
    Announcing classification, Initial Y-Series,
    Unit 1, "One who follows," RyuZU.
[15:29] ryu
    Unique ability, Dual Time,
    initiating activation sequence.
[15:44] ryu
    Commencing shift.
[15:45] ryu
    From Clock 1, real time,
    to Clock 2, imaginary time.
[15:50] ryu
    Chrono Hook, jumping from
    normal mode to imaginary mode.
[15:55] nao
    RyuZU!
[15:56] ryu
    I am going to activate the
    Imaginary Gear that you fixed.
[16:02] ryu
    For you, it is going to be just one
    moment, but for me it is going
[16:06] ryu
    to be about three hours. Please allow me
    to leave your side during this time.
[16:12] nao
    RyuZU—
[16:15] ryu
    Relative activation, Mute Scream.
[16:38] nao
    RyuZU!
[16:41] nao
    RyuZU!
[16:44] nao
    RyuZU!
[16:45] nao
    RyuZU!
[16:47] nao
    Good, her gears are just out of energy.
[16:52] nao
    RyuZU did all this by herself?
[16:56] hal
    This isn't the time!
[16:57] hal
    This place is dangerous.
[17:00] hal
    We're going to infiltrate Core Tower now!
SIGN    Kyoto Core Tower, Floor 1
[17:07] nao
    I'll wind you up right away.
[17:10] mar
    Imaginary time?
[17:13] hal
    Could you explain that to us, Princess?
[17:17] mar
    Imaginary time, a hypothesis that only
    exists inside of physics calculations.
[17:24] mar
    It is time that is orthogonal
    to our regular time.
[17:30] mar
    The time is rotated by a
    Lorentz transformation and
[17:32] mar
    becomes symmetrical in Minkowski space-time.
[17:36] nao
    I see.
[17:37] nao
    I don't understand a thing.
[17:39] mar
    Basically,
[17:40] mar
    RyuZU was fighting this entire time
    in a timeline that we cannot perceive!
[17:48] nao
    I see, you were doing it all by yourself.
[17:53] mar
    It emits positive energy
    in a negative manner.
[17:56] mar
    I'm surprised you were able to fix that.
[18:00] nao
    If that's how it is, what else can you do?
[18:02] nao
    I mean the idea itself to power
    a planet with gears suggests
[18:06] nao
    more than a bucketful of loose
    screws, so isn't it natural
[18:11] nao
    that the automata he built are absurd?
[18:13] mar
    I cannot accept this!
[18:16] mar
    The Breguet family lost to
    this monumental moron?!
[18:24] ryu
    Good morning, Master Naoto.
[18:33] nao
    RyuZU?
[18:39] nao
    RyuZU!
[18:40] nao
    Please marry me!
[18:59] ryu
    I believe you ought to you
    consider your standing.
[19:06] mar
    So, what kind of strange thought patterns
    allow you to ask that question?
[19:11] nao
    It's not like that.
[19:12] nao
    It just came out like that.
[19:14] nao
    I mean, I mean...
[19:17] nao
    How can I not fall in love after
    seeing something like that?!
[19:24] ryu
    Master Naoto, I have determined that
    your brain lacks a few gears.
[19:33] nao
    Of course, our relationship is nothing
    more than master and servant.
[19:40] hal
    I thought automata obeyed their
    master in every regard.
[19:44] ryu
    Don't be ridiculous.
[19:46] ryu
    Please don't put me on the
    same level as the love dolls
[19:49] ryu
    who spread their legs, unconditionally,
    as soon the master registration is complete.
[19:53] ryu
    I like Master Naoto of my own free will.
[20:01] mar
    Free will? But you're an automaton.
[20:05] nao
    RyuZU.
[20:08] ryu
    Yes?
[20:14] nao
    Um, may I ask why I can't marry you?
[20:19] ryu
    Marrying means that we would
    be a married couple,
[20:23] ryu
    and that would mean that
    we are on equal footing.
[20:26] ryu
    A master and a servant being on equal
    footing is out of the question.
[20:34] nao
    Then, let's do this.
[20:37] nao
    Nod for yes, shake your head for no.
[20:44] nao
    Do you like me of your
    own will and not because
[20:47] nao
    you were configured by someone to do so?
[20:53] nao
    S-So that means you l-l-love me?
[21:12] nao
    A-All right, then can you nod as
    many times as you like me?
[21:40] nao
    I am so glad to be alive!
[21:46] nao
    Hooray!
[21:47] ryu
    Are you happy now?
[21:48] nao
    Hooray!
[21:50] ryu
    By subjecting me to this kind
    of shameful treatment,
[21:53] ryu
    you have broken mankind's scale
    of measuring perversion.
[22:01] mar
    You think this is the time
    for a romantic comedy?!
SIGN    5 Hours 28 Minutes Until the Kyoto Grid Purge
[23:41] ryu
    The Kyoto Grid is sinking deeper
    and deeper into the ground.
[23:44] ryu
    The two geniuses are determined
    to repair the Core Tower.
[23:49] ryu
    But the antiquated military and
    guild crush their last hope.
[23:55] ryu
    Next time: "Imaginary Gear."
[23:59] ryu
    Foolish Master Naoto.
[24:01] ryu
    You're not so foolish as to smile even
    after sacrificing someone, are you?
