[00:14] Solitaire
    Well, now. A secret drawer.
[00:19] Solitaire
    It looks like my hunch was right.
[00:23] Solitaire
    Is this a call from someone?
[00:27] Solitaire
    The assassin who shot at me, perhaps?
[00:34] Takasu
    Your hunch?
[00:36] Takasu
    You have no proof, do you?
    You just hope I'll give myself away.
[00:44] Solitaire
    So what if I do?
[00:45] Takasu
    Your bravado won't fool me,
[00:49] Takasu
    but I'll make use of whatever I can, too.
[00:54] Takasu
    Answer it.
[00:56] Solitaire
    This had better not be a bomb.
[00:58] Takasu
    Use the red button to make a call.
[01:01] Solitaire
    Oh, to hell with it!
[01:04] Grocer
    Have I caught you at a bad time?
[01:08] Solitaire
    I know this voice.
[01:09] Takasu
    No, it's fine. Share the
    information with him, as well.
[01:15] Grocer
    Well, now. You seem to have a
    deep affinity for our shop.
[01:21] Grocer
    We appreciate your patronage, Solitaire-sama.
[01:25] Solitaire
    Grocer!
[01:27] Takasu
    So,
[01:28] Takasu
    I assume there's been activity?
[01:31] Grocer
    All the items you reserved are now in stock.
[01:34] Grocer
    A record of Metropolitan
    Police communications.
[01:37] Grocer
    It contains two items
    you'll wish to know about.
[01:42] Grocer
    The first is ongoing.
[01:45] Grocer
    Inspector Tsubaki Iwanome seems to be
    speaking with ex-IA Inspector Hosorogi.
[01:53] Solitaire
    Hosorogi! What a name to come up here!
[01:56] Takasu
    I see. Hosorogi's alive, then.
[02:00] Grocer
    I will transmit a record of
    the call to you presently.
[02:03] Grocer
    As for the other item,
[02:05] Grocer
    Senior Commissioner Habaki received many
    calls from the Shibuya intermediary.
[02:10] Takasu
    I expected that. I appreciate your work.
[02:14] Grocer
    We appreciate your business.
[02:18] Solitaire
    A direct line to the Grocer?
[02:21] Solitaire
    Would you consider selling it to me?
[02:24] Takasu
    No.
[02:26] Solitaire
    I heard you were broad-minded,
    Superintendent General...
[02:30] Solitaire
    But really. Ordering a criminal to spy for you?
[02:34] Takasu
    Of course.
[02:36] Takasu
    Why did you think I allow him so much freedom,
     albeit in a solitary cell?
[02:43] Takasu
    Now you have the name of your "mastermind."
[02:48] Takasu
    You can locate Senior Commissioner
    Habaki using our security cameras.
[02:52] Takasu
    How you use that knowledge is up to you.
[02:56] Solitaire
    I see!
[02:58] Solitaire
    So, you want me to do
    your dirty work for you!
[03:01] Takasu
    Aren't you after the man who had you
    shot at and whatever lies behind him?
[03:08] Solitaire
    And one more thing.
[03:10] Solitaire
    I'll pay for it, of course.
[03:14] Takasu
    What do you want?
[03:16] Solitaire
    Inspector Tsubaki Iwanome's
    cell phone number.
[03:25] Iwanome
    Solitaire?!
[03:34] Polka
    Takumi-kun?
[03:35] Takumi
    Oh! I got through!
[03:37] Takumi
    I'll fill you in later, but be on your guard!
[03:40] Takumi
    We want to head back pronto,
[03:43] Takumi
    but we'll be a little delayed.
[03:46] Xiaoyu
    What the...?!
SIGN    Fire
    Safety
[03:48] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    ...but my old country home!
[03:55] Iwanome
    Saying your contact's
    name was beyond careless,
[04:00] Iwanome
    Senior Commissioner Habaki!
[04:02] Habaki
    What are you talking about?
[04:04] Iwanome
    You just said "Higuro", didn't you?
[04:07] Arase
    Why were you talking with
    a Shibuya intermediary?
[04:11] Habaki
    You see—
[04:12] Iwanome
    And who or what is "Sabaramond"?
[04:17] Iwanome
    I really felt like I owed you.
[04:20] Habaki
    W-Wait! Sabaramond is—
[04:27] Fire-Breathing Bug A
    He said... "Sabaramond."
[04:32] Fire-Breathing Bug A
    I heard him say it.
[04:34] Iwanome
    Who're these guys?!
[04:36] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    He said it. He said it.
[04:39] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    He said it.
[04:40] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    We heard him say it.
[04:42] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    He said it. He said it.
[04:45] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    Said, said, said, said, said, said, said.
[04:48] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    My old friends, are you still there?
[04:56] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    Sabaramond. He said it—said it.
[05:01] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    No mistake-ake-ake-ake-ake-ake-ake-ake.
[05:10] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    He's a bastard child.
[06:47] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    Bastard child-ild-ild-ild.
[06:50] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    B-B-Bastard child of S-Sabaramond-ond-nd-d.
[06:54] Arase
    Boss.
[06:57] Iwanome
    Hang on.
[06:59] Iwanome
    Seriously?
[07:00] Arase
    The luck of the draw's really
    been on your side, Boss.
[07:03] Arase
    You've pulled Lemmings, Solitaire,
[07:06] Arase
    and now the Fire-Breathing Bug.
[07:08] Iwanome
    I'd say draws like these are
    what lose you the game.
[07:12] Iwanome
    Damn it.
[07:15] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    In the rain and the blustery air,
[07:24] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    I think—
[07:26] Majiri
    "I think of my old country home," correct?
[07:33] Majiri
    Kindly disperse and withdraw,
    my feeble little bugs.
[07:39] Majiri
    My brother is a fool, but not a bastard.
[07:42] Majiri
    Burning him won't singe the world one bit.
[07:46] Majiri
    I won't help, and I won't hinder.
[07:50] Majiri
    I'll merely pity you and pray
SIGN    Matriarch
[07:56] Majiri
    for your long-sought revenge,
[08:02] Majiri
    so leave this place for my sake.
[08:05] Majiri
    Out of respect for Majiri Agakura.
SIGN    Fire
    Safety
[08:19] Kana
    Who were they?
[08:21] Kana
    Do you know them, Ma-nee?
[08:23] Majiri
    Yes. We're something like friends.
[08:27] Majiri
    Don't go after those
    people in raincoats, now.
[08:32] Majiri
    You couldn't crush them all,
    no matter how hard you tried.
[08:40] Iwanome
    What's wrong with them?
[08:42] Arase
    They act like they can't see us.
[08:44] Arase
    They must really hate Habaki.
[08:47] Habaki
    No. I can't afford to go down yet.
[08:51] Arase
    Iwa-san.
[08:52] Arase
    They're acting strangely.
[08:55] Solitaire
    The secret to the
    Fire-Breathing Bug's tricks?
[08:58] Takasu
    Yes. If you won't turn yourself in,
    then pay me by explaining that.
[09:06] Solitaire
    Just a hint, then.
SIGN    Fire
    Safety
[09:09] Solitaire
    The Fire-Breathing Bug
    is and is not one person.
[09:13] Solitaire
    They're extremely close to
    being a psychic or a wizard,
[09:17] Solitaire
    but what they are is a
    crystallization of technology
[09:21] Solitaire
    that's left the realm of common sense.
[09:26] Iwanome
    What the—?!
[09:29] Iwanome
    Is this...? No way.
[09:31] Iwanome
    Arase!
[09:33] Iwanome
    Grab a fire extinguisher!
[09:38] Arase
    Okay.
[09:39] Iwanome
    Hey!
[09:40] Iwanome
    Why was the Fire-Breathing
    Bug out to get you?!
[09:43] Habaki
    Damn!
[09:44] Iwanome
    Jeez. Solitaire's bad enough on his own.
    I don't need more magic tricks.
[09:49] (Flashback) Saimyouji
    You guys are like a Gamma Knife.
     You know that?
[09:53] (Flashback) Iwanome
    What's that?
[09:55] (Flashback) Saimyouji
    A machine that burns out tumors with
    hundreds of gamma rays from all sides.
[10:01] (Flashback) Saimyouji
    You follow thin trails of evidence
    to the point where they meet
[10:08] (Flashback) Saimyouji
    and incinerate a criminal
    in the fires of judgment.
[10:12] (Flashback) Saimyouji
    Of course, they get off
    scot-free when you misfire.
[10:20] Iwanome
    Our coroner's snide comments
    come in handy now and then.
[10:24] Iwanome
    The Fire-Breathing Bugs are probably
    firing lasers or something, too.
[10:28] Iwanome
    And where the beams converge—
[10:30] Iwanome
    No, they're precise enough
    to write notes at a distance.
[10:34] Iwanome
    No one could pull that off.
[10:36] Iwanome
    Look at it another way.
    Forget what's "impossible".
[10:40] Iwanome
    Everyone we've faced so far
[10:44] Iwanome
    has redefined what's possible!
[10:49] Iwanome
    Jeez.
[10:51] Iwanome
    The way things are going, we'll run
    into a real monster one of these days!
[10:57] Takumi
    For starters, let's get out of here.
[11:00] Takumi
    That asshole Higuro might
    call in reinforcements.
[11:04] Misaki
    What should we do with this guy?
[11:07] Xiaoyu
    The singing people are... gone?
[11:11] Xiaoyu
    What could have—
[11:14] Xiaoyu
    Someone's coming.
[11:17] Xiaoyu
    Maybe an enemy.
[11:23] Kana
    Wow.
[11:24] Kana
    He noticed us.
[11:26] Dahlia
    And we were trying to be stealthy.
[11:29] Kana
    Mm-hmm. Of course,
[11:31] Kana
    he hasn't picked up on Ma-nee.
[11:36] Majiri
    It's been far too long,
[11:38] Majiri
    my lovely little
[11:40] Majiri
    boy assassin.
[11:50] Majiri
    I see your new prosthetic arms are well made.
[11:56] Majiri
    But didn't I tell you, dear little boy?
[12:01] Majiri
    Just become my little brother,
[12:04] Majiri
    and you can have your limbs
    back whenever you like.
[12:09] Xiaoyu
    So...
[12:12] Xiaoyu
    You really are back in Japan.
[12:19] Xiaoyu
    The job was supposed to be easy.
[12:22] Xiaoyu
    Just a small-time target,
    perfect for my first assignment.
[12:28] Xiaoyu
    But that small fry was also
[12:34] Xiaoyu
    on someone else's hit list.
[12:38] Xiaoyu
    "Kill anyone in the building."
[12:41] Xiaoyu
    Those were my orders.
[12:44] Xiaoyu
    I didn't hesitate.
[12:46] Xiaoyu
    My blade lopped off the woman's head.
[12:49] Xiaoyu
    Or I meant for it to.
[12:51] (Flashback) Majiri
    I like how you go for the kill.
     And you're cute.
[12:56] (Flashback) Majiri
    You must be the Leis' latest killing machine.
[13:01] (Flashback) Majiri
    That settles it. I've decided.
[13:03] (Flashback) Majiri
    How would you like to become
    an Agakura by adoption?
[13:06] Xiaoyu
    I had no idea what she was talking about.
[13:09] Xiaoyu
    But it was what came next
    that really baffled me.
[13:14] (Flashback) Majiri
    The Heilei are awful, you know?
[13:18] (Flashback) Majiri
    You must have experienced that firsthand.
[13:24] Xiaoyu
    The next thing I knew, my arms and legs were gone.
[13:28] Xiaoyu
    Strange as it sounds,
    I don't think I bled that much.
[13:32] (Flashback) Majiri
    Don't worry. I fixed you up so you won't die.
[13:37] (Flashback) Majiri
    Still, I wonder what the
    Heilei will do with you.
[13:41] (Flashback) Majiri
    If you want help, call me.
[13:45] (Flashback) Majiri
    I'll come running,
[13:48] (Flashback) Majiri
    and I'll give your limbs back when I do.
[13:51] (Flashback) Majiri
    I'll give you lots of love
    as a new member of my family.
[13:57] (Flashback) Momoya
    Nee-san sure is fickle.
[14:00] (Flashback) Kana
    Mm-hmm. But cutting off limbs is new.
[14:03] (Flashback) Kana
    Ma-nee must really like him.
[14:06] (Flashback) Majiri
    Till we meet again,
     my lovely little assassin.
[14:10] (Flashback) Majiri
    My name is...
[14:13] Xiaoyu
    Majiri Agakura!
[14:15] Majiri
    So, what will it be?
[14:19] Majiri
    You just called my name, didn't you?
[14:24] Majiri
    Do you want my help?
[14:27] Xiaoyu
    Your help?
[14:28] Majiri
    If you join my family,
[14:31] Majiri
    I'll slaughter all those
    bothersome Heilei for you.
[14:37] Xiaoyu
    You're right. I hate the Heilei Clan.
[14:42] Xiaoyu
    But
[14:43] Xiaoyu
    the blood—or the techniques—
    I inherited don't bother me so much.
[14:51] Xiaoyu
    More importantly, the place I belong
[14:55] Xiaoyu
    isn't with the Heilei or the Agakura.
[14:57] Xiaoyu
    This blood of mine
[15:01] Xiaoyu
    is lightning that protects the Shinoyamas!
[15:06] Majiri
    I miscalculated.
[15:08] Majiri
    I never dreamed the Shinoyamas would
    rescue you before I got the chance.
[15:18] Momoya
    Seriously, Majiri-neesan?
[15:20] Momoya
    You carried a torch for nearly a decade,
    and he turned you down?
[15:24] Majiri
    Oh, Momo-kun. You're alive.
[15:27] Majiri
    I'm so glad.
[15:30] Majiri
    But laughing at your big sister's
    broken heart isn't very nice.
[15:35] Majiri
    I'll scold you later.
[15:37] Momoya
    Right now, a punishment
    from you would kill me.
[15:41] Majiri
    He hurt you that badly?
[15:45] Majiri
    You've grown, my lovely little assassin.
[15:49] Momoya
    No, Neesan.
[15:51] Momoya
    I lost
[15:53] Momoya
    to the girl above you.
[16:06] Momoya
    Watch out, Nee-san.
[16:09] Momoya
    She must've learned from Solitaire.
    She has tricks up her sleeve.
[16:17] Kana
    Momoya is small-time.
    The seventh-weakest Agakura.
[16:21] Dahlia
    Doesn't that put him right in the middle?
[16:28] Misaki
    Thanks! That was nice of you!
[16:31] Majiri
    What's your name?
[16:34] Misaki
    Oh, I'm Misaki. Misaki Sakimiya!
[16:37] Misaki
    Nice meeting you!
[16:38] Majiri
    "Misaki Agakura." It has a nice ring to it.
[16:42] Misaki
    Huh?
[16:44] Majiri
    Would you consider bearing the Agakura name?
SIGN    Misaki A. (Agakura) Sakimiya
[16:48] Misaki
    As a middle name, sure.
[16:50] Majiri
    No, you should make "Sakimiya"
    your middle name.
SIGN    Misaki S. (Sakimiya) Agakura
[16:55] Takumi
    Could this conversation get any stupider?
[17:00] Momoya
    My sister really is fickle.
[17:08] Majiri
    I have no choice.
[17:10] Majiri
    My darling little brother
    will die without help.
[17:15] Majiri
    Kana.
[17:16] Kana
    Mm-hmm.
[17:18] Kana
    Dahlia.
[17:29] Kana
    Dahlia, you take his weapon.
[17:33] Majiri
    Today was a draw.
[17:36] Majiri
    Let's leave it at that and split up.
[17:40] Majiri
    I'm so sorry for breaking you prosthetic arm.
[17:43] Majiri
    If you come visit, I'll give you
    the original to make up for it.
[17:48] Majiri
    Till we meet again, Misaki-chan.
[17:58] Takumi
    H-Hey. Should we have just let them go?
[18:01] Xiaoyu
    I couldn't stop them.
     She took out one of my legs, too.
[18:06] Misaki
    Hmm... I don't think I was up to it, either.
[18:10] Misaki
    You know how Polka-kun
    stabbed me that one time?
[18:13] Takumi
    Huh? Oh, yeah.
[18:16] Misaki
    That lady's probably tougher
    than Polka-kun was then.
[18:26] Habaki
    I can't use my position anymore.
[18:30] Iwanome
    Stand up, Senior Commissioner.
[18:33] Habaki
    Damn you!
[18:35] Habaki
    The Bug knows what I look like now!
[18:42] Iwanome
    Powder?
[18:44] Iwanome
    Hey! Did you just swallow that?!
[18:47] Habaki
    So I suppose it won't
    matter... if I cut loose.
[18:52] Iwanome
    Huh?
[18:55] Arase
    Iwa-san!
[18:57] Arase
    Are you okay?
[18:58] Iwanome
    Sorry. I owe you one.
[19:00] Iwanome
    How did he get so strong?
[19:07] Habaki
    I can't afford... to die here.
[19:12] Arase
    Some kind of drug, maybe?
[19:14] Iwanome
    You've shown your true colors.
[19:17] Iwanome
    Looks like we've got you
    red-handed now, huh?!
[19:22] Habaki
    There's nothing red about me.
[19:24] Habaki
    This world has yet... to be colored.
[19:31] Habaki
    Yes. Soon, the great one shall bore a hole!
[19:37] Iwanome
    What's he talking about?
[19:39] Arase
    He must be high.
[19:41] Arase
    Now,
[19:47] Arase
    who should we deal with first?
[19:54] Polka
    I wonder if they'll be okay.
[19:58] Sayo
    It looks like lightning.
[20:00] Polka
    Lightning...
[20:03] Polka
    Oh. I thought elementals
    were sparse in this world,
[20:08] Polka
    but the density of lightning elementals
    is about the same as in mine.
[20:14] Sayo
    Lightning elementals?
[20:16] Sayo
    Can you contract with them to cast spells?
[20:19] Polka
    I'm not an elementalist.
[20:22] Polka
    It's suicidal for a non-specialist to
    draw on lightning elementals directly.
[20:30] Polka
    A handful of geniuses have
    pulled it off, though.
[20:43] Civil
    Oh, I've grown fond of this.
[20:46] Civil
    This land's elementals
    are quite the delicacy.
[20:50] Arahabaki
    Huh? I've got no clue what
    you're talking about, Boss!
[20:53] Arahabaki
    That thunder left my ears ringing!
[20:56] Arahabaki
    Ever think of that?!
[20:58] Civil
    Oh, sorry about that.
[21:02] Civil
    But I'm just so excited!
[21:04] Civil
    That annoying Bug may be in this city, too,
[21:09] Civil
    but everyone's done so much for us!
[21:13] Civil
    And then there are the
    hands on that building!
[21:16] Civil
    I never expected them to appear
    on this far-away island!
[21:20] Civil
    Did they wrench open the
    hole from the other side?
[21:23] Civil
    Or is this a whim of Ordom,
    the Destructive Wyvern?
[21:28] Lulu
    Umm... Are you sure about
    that symbol on your back?
[21:32] Civil
    Why hide it anymore?
[21:34] Civil
    A local stage magician already
    let that cat out of the bag.
[21:39] Civil
    Oh, I can hardly wait!
[21:43] Civil
    I've just got to track them down
    and roll out the red carpet...
[21:54] Civil
    ...to welcome our very first
    visitor from my homeland.
