[00:04] Civil
    Don't let it bother you, Lulu.
[00:06] Civil
    I doubt anyone died.
[00:08] Civil
    Your pleading with the elemental paid off.
[00:12] Lulu
    But...
[00:14] Civil
    No innocents got involved and the
     security cameras were destroyed.
[00:19] Civil
    The elders don't take chances
    with that sort of thing.
[00:22] Arahabaki
    I knew our group wasn't all one happy family,
[00:25] Arahabaki
    but where do they get off,
     trying to shut us down so openly?
SIGN    Fire

[00:31] Civil
    They're afraid of the Bug.
[00:33] Civil
    They fled this country and built
    a remote base in Eastern Europe,
[00:38] Civil
    so they don't want me leaking information
    that could get them burned, too.
[00:43] Civil
    I do have a stake in this, though,
    so I think I'll burn before I get burned.
[00:47] Arahabaki
    Huh?
[00:48] Civil
    There's a Japanese saying:
    "summer bugs fly to flame."
[00:53] Civil
    And I'd say I'm the best
    bait to draw out this bug.
[00:57] Civil
    I'll advertise my presence and
    gather them all in this city.
[01:01] Civil
    Doesn't crushing them in one fell
    swoop sound like a plan to you?
[02:39] Higuro
    Can I ask you something?
[02:41] Solitaire
    Yes?
[02:43] Higuro
    Why did you visit that
    fortune teller's building?
[02:47] Higuro
    Was that giant swarm of hands
    one of your magic tricks?
[02:51] Solitaire
    Why do you want to know?
[02:53] Higuro
    Because you may have
    already reached your goal.
[02:58] Higuro
    The thing my employers spent
    a century searching for.
[03:02] Solitaire
    You have my attention.
[03:04] Higuro
    You're already involved.
    In fact, this all revolves around you.
[03:10] Higuro
    You may lose your own head
    instead of a dummy's next time.
[03:19] Momoya
    N-No! I can't take it!
[03:22] Kana
    Shut up.
[03:23] Momoya
    Sorry, sorry.
[03:24] Momoya
    It's just too, too much!
[03:28] Momoya
    I feel so sorry for the guy,
     I might let him ditching me slide.
[03:32] Momoya
    Still, I envy Higuro-san.
[03:34] Momoya
    This means he made friends
    with Solitaire, right?
[03:37] Momoya
    Do you think he could get me an autograph?
[03:40] Momoya
    If only Majiri-neesan could get
    along with those kids this well.
[03:46] Majiri
    That must be the building.
[03:49] Majiri
    I wonder if the little assassin is in.
[03:53] Majiri
    Do you know?
[03:58] Majiri
    Heilei, I presume?
[04:01] Majiri
    Wonderful. I've been hoping
    to pay my respects.
[04:05] Majiri
    You see, that boy, Xiaoyu-kun,
    is going to be my little brother.
[04:10] Majiri
    So we'll be relatives from now on.

    She even tried to kill me when I
    announced I'd make Xiaoyu a ting-hu.
[05:00] Bao
    Don't insult Xiaoyu—my brother.
[05:06] Majiri
    So, you want revenge for
    the dear little assassin?
[05:11] Bao
    Not quite.
[05:12] Majiri
    No?
[05:14] Bao
    You're right that Xiaoyu is a dear.
[05:17] Majiri
    Yes! Isn't he just?!
[05:21] Bao
    I hate you for hurting my brother,
    but I'm also grateful.
[05:26] Majiri
    Grateful? Really?
[05:28] Bao
    Losing his limbs is what let
    him escape our cursed family.
[05:34] Majiri
    I'm surprised.
[05:39] Majiri
    I thought the Heilei obsessed
    over their lineage.
[05:45] Bao
    I'm not interested in old-fashioned values,
[05:48] Bao
    but if you intend to take
    my brother from me, then die.
[05:55] Xiaoyu
    Can you really make magic from this?
[05:58] Polka
    Yes. It should let us recharge your arm, too.
[06:02] Xiaoyu
    Jewels as fuel?
[06:04] Xiaoyu
    No wonder Miss Sayo wanted
    all those junk stones.
[06:08] Xiaoyu
    If raw stones work, you can
    buy them cheaper and in bulk.
[06:11] Polka
    Clearer and larger stones contain more mana.
[06:17] Polka
    Then there's the problem of money.
[06:20] Polka
    I'd like to gather resources to
    recover the real Polka-kun,
[06:25] Polka
    but I can't exactly ask Rozan-san for help.
[06:30] (Flashback) Xiaoyu
    It's my fault.
[06:33] (Flashback) Xiaoyu
    I'm the only guard who knew
    that plushie is the real Polka.
[06:38] (Flashback) Polka
    That's not true.
[06:40] (Flashback) Polka
    But anyway, we'd better
    report this to Rozan-san.
[06:44] (Flashback) Xiaoyu
    His Lordship?
[06:46] (Flashback) Sayo
    No can do.
[06:48] (Flashback) Polka
    What?
[06:48] (Flashback) Sayo
    Grandfather should be in the hospital today.
[06:52] (Flashback) Xiaoyu
    Oh, right. Today is...
[06:53] (Flashback) Sayo
    His regular check-up.
[06:55] (Flashback) Sayo
    He's probably fully anesthetized
    and in no shape to talk.
[06:59] Xiaoyu
    I felt a moment of relief just then.
[07:04] Xiaoyu
    I almost thought that I could rescue Polka
[07:06] Xiaoyu
    and fix my mistake before
    His Lordship found out.
[07:11] Xiaoyu
    I'm the worst.
[07:13] Polka
    Because you were halfhearted about
    protecting the real Polka-kun?
[07:18] Xiaoyu
    That's none of—
[07:19] Polka
    —my business? Are you sure,
    with the way things are going?
[07:24] Polka
    You don't have to rush, but you can talk to me.
[07:30] Xiaoyu
    Something about him...
    always got on my nerves.
[07:34] Xiaoyu
    But I didn't really hate
    him until just recently.
[07:40] Xiaoyu
    He acts without any regard for
    His Lordship's feelings.
[07:43] Xiaoyu
    I take pride in these limbs
    that Rozan-sama gave me.
[07:48] Xiaoyu
    But he's Rozan-sama's own son.
[07:51] Xiaoyu
    Doesn't his body, his blood
    ties, mean anything to him?
[07:57] Xiaoyu
    I can never have those ties,
    no matter how hard I try.
[08:01] Xiaoyu
    I can't become Rozan-sama's real son.
[08:04] Xiaoyu
    But... he acts like it's nothing to him.
[08:09] Xiaoyu
    No. I'm making excuses.
[08:12] Xiaoyu
    I just envied him. Forget it.
[08:20] Xiaoyu
    How pathetic.
[08:24] Polka
    My father... sold me for money.
[08:29] Polka
    He ended up stabbing me to
    death to satisfy his own greed.
[08:36] Polka
    So I envy bonds with blood family, too,
[08:40] Polka
    but I can tell you feel just as
    strong a bond with Rozan-san.
[08:49] Polka
    I'm sure that's not one-sided.
[08:53] Polka
    You may not share blood
    but your souls are linked,
[08:58] Polka
    so you should treasure that tie, too.
[09:05] Polka
    Losing either kind of connection
     will hurt just as much.
[09:11] Polka
    So this time,
[09:14] Polka
    I will make a world where
    we can all live in peace.

[10:23] Tozawa
    But the inspector is currently attached
    to HQ's Solitaire task force.
[10:29] Tozawa
    Surely we need to at least look
    like we're prioritizing that case.
[10:34] Yatsu
    Ugh.
[10:36] Iwanome
    No.
[10:37] Iwanome
    That jackass Solitaire didn't do this.
[10:40] Arase
    A copycat?
[10:41] Iwanome
    I'm only going on a hunch,
[10:43] Iwanome
    but just lifting something and dropping
    it is nothing new for stage magic.
[10:48] Iwanome
    Solitaire usually makes his
    tricks significant in some way.
[10:53] Iwanome
    Which begs the question of who's behind this.
[10:57] Iwanome
    Another troublemaker, like Deus Ex Kinema?
[11:01] Iwanome
    Or...
[11:02] Iwanome
    Never mind.
[11:04] Iwanome
    Either way, we can't stand
    around twiddling our thumbs.
[11:08] Iwanome
    Damn it. We've got all
    these cases in Shinjuku.
[11:12] Iwanome
    What connects them all, and how deeply?
[11:16] Solitaire
    Good grief. A copycat of me?
[11:20] Solitaire
    I know just who would pull a stunt like this.
[11:22] Solitaire
    To me, hunting this organization
    is an adventure.
[11:25] Solitaire
    But to you, I see, it's fodder
    for a documentary film!
[11:30] Solitaire
    Isn't it, troublemaker emperor of Ikebukuro,
    Deus Ex Kinema-kun?!
[11:35] Lulu
    U-Um...
[11:37] Lulu
    I'm so, so sorry.
[11:39] Lulu
    You have the wrong person.
[11:40] Solitaire
    Who's she?!
[11:42] Civil
    Pleased to meet you. I'm a fan.
[11:44] Solitaire
    I see. I suppose I should be relieved
    that this wasn't a police trap?
[11:49] Civil
    That depends on your attitude.
[11:52] Solitaire
    Meaning you're scarier than the police?
[11:55] Civil
    Unfortunately, my homeland
    doesn't use business cards.
[12:00] Civil
    Will this serve to identify us instead?
[12:04] Civil
    The Byadian Imperial Crest.
[12:06] Civil
    That's the proper name of the
    emblem you've been broadcasting.
[12:13] Polka
    It's hopeless. This will take too long.
[12:16] Polka
    But... considering the risks,
    I can't settle for less.
[12:19] Misaki
    Hey, is it true you you called
    up one of your friends' ghosts?
[12:24] Polka
    I didn't call him so much
    as he showed up uninvited.
[12:27] Misaki
    So you did have friends in your world!
[12:32] Polka
    I treasure you and Takumi-kun
    as friends, too.
[12:35] Misaki
    Hmm... You've said that before,
[12:38] Misaki
    but we only just met, you know?
[12:40] Polka
    My teacher told me that,
     to long-lived necromancers like us,
[12:46] Polka
    bonds with people can't be
    measured in time spent together.
[12:49] Misaki
    Did you make friends with your
    buddy from back home this quickly?
[12:53] Polka
    Let me think.
[12:54] Polka
    He came on so strong that I didn't
    know what to do a lot of the time,
[12:58] Polka
    but he's my dear friend... and my accomplice.
[13:01] Misaki
    Why accomplice?
[13:03] Polka
    Sorry. Maybe I worded that wrong.
[13:06] Polka
    We got up to a lot of mischief together.
[13:08] Misaki
    Hmm?
[13:10] Polka
    Those three who abducted the real Polka-kun
[13:13] Polka
    have some kind of powerful ties to
    the other world, too. I'm sure of it.
[13:19] Polka
    I don't know if we're
    caught in their business,
[13:22] Polka
    or if I dragged them into ours, but—
[13:26] Misaki
    I got you and the other Polka-kun
    involved in the first place.
[13:29] Misaki
    I slit Polka-kun's throat,
[13:33] Misaki
    then I tried to kill you again when you
    came back, dragging you into my world.
[13:38] Polka
    That'sh naht weally—
[13:40] Misaki
    Everyone, good or bad,
     drags others into their lives sometimes.
[13:46] Misaki
    So when it comes down to it, just drag
    everyone into what you think is best.
[13:53] Misaki
    I want to get mixed up
    in your business, anyway.
[13:57] Misaki
    Let's go save the real Polka-kun together.
[14:02] Polka
    Thank you.
[14:04] Solitaire
    I see.
[14:06] Solitaire
    You want to advertise your
    relation to this "Sabaramond."
[14:11] Civil
    Yes, I suppose so.
[14:13] Civil
    I don't care how.
    We could even be guests on your show.
[14:16] Higuro
    Yay!
[14:17] Civil
    The three of us could dance, if you like.
[14:19] Lulu; Arahabaki
    Huh?!
[14:20] Solitaire
    Suspected space aliens dancing?
    You have my attention.
[14:24] Civil
    Aliens?
[14:26] Civil
    That aside, I thought you were
    seeking supernatural phenomena.
[14:31] Civil
    Doesn't this situation excite you?
[14:34] Solitaire
    Not really? Secretly, my heart
    is swelling with anticipation,
[14:38] Solitaire
    but I can't make up my mind.
[14:40] Civil
    About what?
[14:42] Solitaire
    A feat like yours
[14:45] Solitaire
    is easy enough to replicate with tricks.
[14:49] Civil
    Oh?
[14:50] Arahabaki
    Wait. Seriously?
[14:51] Lulu
    Does he have a great spirit, too?!
[14:55] Iwanome
    So this
[14:56] Iwanome
    is where that fire broke out 100 years ago.
[15:00] Iwanome
    Now, does anything here connect
    to the Fire-Breathing Bug?
[15:04] Iwanome
    They've prettied up the exterior,
[15:07] Iwanome
    but something's off.
[15:09] Iwanome
    A wealthy Shinjuku dynasty owns this place,
[15:13] Iwanome
    and apparently they paid a
    fortune for it after the fire.
[15:17] Iwanome
    Their descendants live elsewhere,
    but they've never tried to sell the place.
[15:22] Arase
    But are you sure we should be here?
    It has nothing to do with Solitaire.
[15:27] Iwanome
    No, they've been too
    close lately to say that.
[15:33] Iwanome
    At heart, every troublemaker
    only follows their own goals.
[15:38] Iwanome
    Except for the Grocer, none of them
    would ever seek each other out.
[15:43] Iwanome
    But between this "Sabaramond"
    group and that symbol,
[15:47] Iwanome
    this pair's interests overlap too much.
[15:50] Arase
    You mean Solitaire and the Fire-Breathing
    Bug have already joined forces?
[15:54] Iwanome
    Yeah, probably. And in earnest.
[15:59] Solitaire
    As for your request, I'd be delighted.
[16:03] Solitaire
    But on one condition.
[16:05] Civil
    That sounds like fun. What condition?
[16:08] Solitaire
    Well, I insist
[16:12] Solitaire
    that you somehow manage to survive.
[16:17] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    Never shall we forget the days we've shared,

[16:56] Solitaire
    I hope that's not a mix of
    naphthetic and palmitic acids,
[16:59] Solitaire
    i.e., the fuel for napalm
    bombs and flamethrowers.

    heat will roast me, too.
[17:06] Solitaire
    It's not, right? Please say it's not.

    I believe you have at least some morals,

[17:12] Solitaire
    Oh, I have a bad feeling about this!
[17:16] Civil
    Perfect timing.
[17:17] Civil
    I've been hoping to test this out.
[17:20] Civil
    Maybe something like... this?
[17:24] Arahabaki
    Whoa. You've gotta be kidding me.

[19:50] Solitaire
    Well, don't be hasty.
[19:51] Solitaire
    Allow me to tell you a choice secret instead.
[19:55] Arahabaki
    Like what?
[19:56] Solitaire
    The saying "summer bugs fly to flame"
[19:57] Solitaire
    originates in the Chinese Book
    of Liang's "Life of Dao Gai."
[19:59] Solitaire
    And it's not about tactics or traps.
[20:01] Solitaire
    You see, an old man jealous of
    his more talented grandson—
[20:01] Arahabaki
    Who cares?!
[20:03] Civil
    As interesting as that sounds,
    I have a different question for you.
[20:09] Civil
    After you obtained the emblem,
[20:11] Civil
    why did you visit that building in Shinjuku?
[20:14] Civil
    Does it have anything to do with the
    young fortune teller who lives there?
[20:18] Solitaire
    Are you certain you don't
    have your answer already?
[20:23] Solitaire
    A bug flying to a flame may be foolish,
[20:26] Solitaire
    but what if that bug
    could withstand the heat?
[20:30] Arahabaki
    You—
SIGN    Better luck
     next time
[20:32] Arahabaki
    Huh?
[20:33] Solitaire
    And...
[20:34] Solitaire
    leaping into fire is the only way to
    see some worlds. Wouldn't you agree?
[20:39] Solitaire
    While your powers do interest me,
[20:41] Solitaire
    I have a busy night ahead.
[20:44] Solitaire
    Bewitch me with a world free of
    tricks and illusions someday!
[20:48] Solitaire
    For that,
[20:50] Solitaire
    I'll enter the fire as
    many times as it takes.
[20:56] Civil
    I knew visiting this country was a good idea.
[21:00] Civil
    It's done a little to quench the
    thirst I've felt since I was born.
[21:04] Arahabaki
    I don't get any of this!
[21:07] Arahabaki
    Hey, Boss! What was that big-ass
    wind-cannon thing, anyway?!
[21:11] Lulu
    It wasn't like the great
    spirit's power, was it?
[21:15] Civil
    Oh, that. I tried it, and it worked.
[21:17] Arahabaki
    You can just do that?
[21:20] Civil
    Until now, I've only been able to use
    magic to enhance my flesh and nerves.
[21:25] Civil
    I am a failure, after all.
[21:28] Civil
    Didn't I tell you before we came here?
     About my absurd origins.
[21:33] Civil
    My body was meant for the copied mind
    and memory of a sorcerer from the other side.
[21:39] Civil
    His name was Arius Sabaramond.
[21:43] Civil
    But in the end, that "great sorcerer"
    never appeared in this world.
[21:48] Civil
    And yet the organization
    continues to cling to his name.
[21:52] Civil
    "The Bastard Children of
    Sabaramond." Oh, the irony.
[21:57] Civil
    I was a failure, unable to so
    much as cast a spell, until—
[22:02] Civil
    Yes, that was the trigger.
[22:05] Civil
    I'd never felt my mana tampered
    with from the outside before.
[22:09] Civil
    I wondered if I could do it in
    reverse, and lucky for us, it worked.
[22:14] Arahabaki
    There he goes, bragging about his talent.
[22:16] Lulu
    Amazing, Civil-sama!
[22:18] Civil
    Well, I'm just starting out.
[22:21] Civil
    Once I get the hang of it, I can—
[22:24] Civil
    Oh, I like you, Soara, Lulu.
[22:27] Civil
    You help me feel the other world.
[22:29] Arahabaki
    Warn me before you say crap like that.
[22:33] Civil
    But this world isn't lawless
    enough for me to act freely.
[22:39] Civil
    I've always felt that this
    world isn't where I belong.
[22:44] Civil
    I was made on the other side,
     so I want to go back.
[22:48] Civil
    Back to the precious
    homeland I've never seen.
[22:53] Civil
    If I can't return, then I hope
[22:56] Civil
    this world can at least offer
    something to cure my boredom.
[23:04] Civil
    Hello. I'm impressed you found this number.
[23:07] Civil
    We've never spoken directly before.
    Are introductions in order?
[23:11] Grocer
    Oh, no. Not at all, Sabaramond-sama.
[23:16] Grocer
    You've been patronizing our
    store since before we relocated.
[23:20] Civil
    Since you called, I assume
    you've stocked my order?
[23:25] Civil
    Information about Polka Shinoyama's family,
[23:27] Civil
    and especially his mother, Kanon Shinoyama?
