    Father, what kind of store is that?
[00:11] nao
    Um, I think you might be
    a bit too young for that.
[00:16] mar
    I'm pretty sure this is the place we're
    supposed to meet up with Meister Konrad.
[00:21] kon
    Meister Marie!
[00:23] mar
    Meister Kon...rad?
[00:25] kon
    You were safe!
[00:27] kon
    We were worried, because we suddenly
    couldn't get in touch with Akihabara.
[00:32] kon
    What in the world happened?
[00:35] mar
    That's what I want to ask you.

    Whoa!
[02:27] anc
    What's the matter, Father?
[02:29] nao
    K-Kids shouldn't look!
[02:31] anc
    Okay.
[02:32] mar
    You shouldn't be looking, either!
    And, honestly, neither should I!
[02:37] kon
    Isn't this place great?
[02:39] kon
    Around here, the automata that I
    have adjusted are quite popular.
[02:45] mar
    This is corrupt, depraved, immoral...
[02:49] kon
    This way, please.
[02:52] kon
    I can't say this too loudly,
    but this is a black market for automata,
[02:57] kon
    and we even deal with the
    authorities under the table.
[03:01] mar
    Wow, if we have this kind of workshop...
[03:04] mar
    Put RyuZU onto that hanger there.
[03:06] mar
    We're going to cool her down slowly.
[03:08] nao
    R-Roger.
[03:16] mar
    Meister Konrad, please keep him alive.
[03:20] mar
    He's magnetized, but if
    his brain is still intact...
[03:23] kon
    So we need a spare body, right?
[03:26] mar
    If possible, within the next 12 hours.
[03:29] kon
    That's a tall order.
    I will ask around, however.
[03:34] mar
    That's enough. Thank you.
[03:41] anc
    Father, my sister is going to be okay, right?
[03:44] nao
    RyuZU did everything she needed to do.
[03:48] nao
    Therefore, there's no need to worry!
[03:52] anc
    Does that hurt, Father?
[03:55] nao
    Not at all! I'm fine. This is nothing!
[03:59] mar
    Stop acting tough and get that
    treated, before it gets infected.
[04:02] nao
    Yeah, thanks.

    Now, let me take a look at that.

    Okay.

    Hey, Marie, is there really any
    point in waking this dude up now?

[04:22] ver
    Hey, how dare you talk about
    Vermouth Handsome Face like that?
[04:34] ver
    What the hell is this?!
[04:36] mar
    Quiet down.
[04:38] mar
    All I did was connect your
    brain to an automaton.
[04:41] ver
    And you had to pick this
    pleasure automaton?
[04:45] ver
    Does male dignity mean nothing to you?!
[04:48] mar
    Why would I care about that?
[04:50] ver
    She hooked up a cyborg to an automaton
    of a completely different make.
[04:55] ver
    That's far beyond genius level.
[04:58] ver
    Is this bitch the devil?
[05:02] nao
    You'd better not resist her.
[05:04] nao
    She's all riled up because
    Halter's not waking up.
[05:08] mar
    He doesn't need to know that.
[05:10] mar
    Tell us every little detail you found out.

    What is that big thing planning on doing?

    Are you seriously asking?

    Huh?

    And you still don't get it?

    Huh?

    The Tall Wand is a weapon of mass destruction

    Okay! Then I'll destroy it,
    so don't cry, Mother.

    Sorry, could you not yell so much?
[14:38] mar
    Where are your headphones?!

    Then that should be the first thing—
[14:47] nao
    Once I find what I'm looking for,
    I'll run and get some.
[14:51] mar
    What? What are you looking for?
[14:54] nao
    Isn't it obvious? A chance.
[14:57] mar
    A chance to beat up the people
    who dared to do that to RyuZU.
[15:08] mar
    So he was thinking about nothing
    but that from the beginning.
[15:14] nao
    So multiple grids affect each other, right?
[15:19] mar
    Yes.
[15:20] mar
    The State Central Territory Control Tower
    and the Pillar of Heaven are the center.
[15:25] nao
    I found a way into Akihabara.
    The next thing is...
[15:30] nao
    Well, finding out what AnchoR
    wants to do is important, too!
[15:40] anc
    I want to destroy that thing.

    Then I can help Mother.

    What did you say to her?!
[15:48] mar
    Well, if she can destroy it...
[15:50] nao
    Veto! Veto!
[15:52] mar
    You're a walking landmine!
    What did you think AnchoR is?!
[15:56] mar
    What do you mean?
[15:58] mar
    She's the strongest weapon
    of the Initial-Y series!
[16:02] nao
    Don't you even dare! She's my daughter!
[16:04] nao
    Besides, she's charging right now.
[16:07] nao
    She couldn't even fight at

    Besides,

    Don't you have any pride?!

    I'm... sorry.
[16:31] mar
    What the heck? I was getting all worked
    up alone and getting nowhere. I just...

    I'm sorry, but I'm going to head back.
[16:45] mar
    AnchoR, please take care of Naoto.

    That's more important than an order.

    She's actually really amazing.
    She's a genius, after all.
[17:01] anc
    Genius?
[17:02] nao
    She does always worry about
    pointless things, though.

    But when it's time to get things
    done, she gets them done.

    Unlike someone like me.

    coming home in the morning.
[17:37] ver
    This is some kind of sick joke.

    She did that in just four hours.
[17:42] ver
    Is she really a human,
    made of flesh and bone?
[17:47] anc
    Father, is this that "genius" you mentioned?
[17:50] nao
    Yes.
[17:52] nao
    Why?
[17:55] nao
    Why...

    isn't that me?

    Can you help me, then?

    I need three resonance movement connectors.
[18:38] nao
    I'm sorry. I can't make those.
[18:41] mar
    Then, just the circuits.
[18:43] nao
    No can do.
[18:45] mar
    What? That's middle school level stuff.
[18:49] mar
    How did you repair RyuZU?!
[18:51] nao
    By feeling.
[18:52] mar
    What?
[18:53] nao
    I was trying all sorts of things, not this,
    not that, until I heard a good sound.
[19:00] nao
    Then she woke up.
[19:03] mar
    No way. No one could repair
    something as ridiculous as RyuZU
[19:07] mar
    without having acquired
    any theoretical knowledge.
[19:11] nao
    Whatever. I was able to fix her.
[19:14] mar
    What is this idiot talking about?
[19:17] mar
    Wait. Maybe we, who think that we know
    things, are missing something fundamental.

    of all the grids in Japan, right?

    responsibility for that crime?
[19:55] nao
    We did.
[19:57] nao
    Who are the ones considered to be
    the perpetrators of this event?
[20:00] nao
    We are.

    There was nothing of that sort.

    everything was the work of us evil villains?

    This is how we throw those
    people into the fire pit.

    The fire pit is Akihabara.
    The Pillar of Heaven is the fuel.

    Wait, we're talking about
