**[00:05] F**
Now, then... Enough waiting.
**[00:08] F**
The farce is over.
**[00:10] F**
Bey, Malleus,
**[00:12] F**
Leonhart, Babylon,
**[00:14] F**
and Tubal Cain.
**[00:17] F**
Dawn will soon come.
**[00:19] F**
When it does, the war will begin.
**[00:22] F**
Let it drive you into the depths of madness.
**[00:27] F**
As it stands, two swastikas have opened.
**[00:31] F**
Both lack one worthy of being
sacrificed to Lord Heydrich.
**[00:36] F**
The first will be Lady Kircheisen.
**[00:39] F**
The second will be Spinne.
**[00:41] F**
None but these two
**[00:43] F**
are worthy of the Golden Blessing.
**[00:47] F**
But six remain,
**[00:50] F**
and there are six of us.
**[00:53] F**
Thus, if we do not get greedy,
everything will work out.
**[00:57] F**
Lord Heydrich wants blood.
**[01:00] F**
He has not changed a bit since the old days.
**[01:04] F**
Everyone, keep that in mind,
**[01:06] F**
when acting as his fangs and claws.
**[01:12] F**
First, I shall permit five,
**[01:14] F**
or three more than now,
**[01:16] F**
to be opened.
**[01:18] F**
However, as much as possible,
avoid choosing the same day.
**[01:24] F**
A war is preferable to a massacre.
**[01:27] All**
Give us victory.
**[01:36] R**
Fujii-kun...
**[01:40] F**
But will Lord Heydrich
**[01:43] F**
be willing to simply wait for us?
**[01:47] F**
I do not expect that he will...
**[01:58] Gu**
Samiel, you are to open the fifth.
**[02:01] Gu**
You must force it, so feel free to get rough.
**[02:05] Gu**
Then play with them for a bit.
**[02:07] Gu**
Pound them into shape.
**[02:09] Gi**
Jawohl, Mein Herr.
**[03:42] Gi**
*Look at this.*
**[03:43] Gi**
*The bridge is completely destroyed.*
***SIGN*** Promise
**[03:46] Gi**
*We still don't know the cause,*
**[03:48] Gi**
*but we have multiple reports of a giant.*
**[03:51] Gi**
*Some suspect the giant to be*
**[03:53] Gi**
*some kind of gas-induced hallucination.*
***SIGN*** Great Suwahara Bridge Destroyed
Giant Appears?!
**[03:57] Gi**
*Suwahara has already been*
**[03:59] Gi**
*plagued by a series of brutal murders.*
**[04:03] Gi**
What's going on?
**[04:05] Gi**
This isn't the time to go to school!
**[04:10] Gi**
Ren isn't here, either.
**[04:12] Gi**
This is suspicious!
**[04:14] Gi**
I've decided!
**[04:19] Gi**
Hi!
**[04:22] Gi**
Hi?
**[04:25] Gi**
Bang.
**[04:37] [Messenger] Gi**
I have your woman!!
Give me a call
**[04:39] Gi**
*Hi! Hello?*
**[04:41] Gu**
Honjou, what are you doing?
**[04:43] Gi**
*Ren-kun, you're safe! I'm glad.*
**[04:47] Gu**
Listen, what are you...
**[04:50] Gi**
Oh, Kasumi-chan's right here.
**[04:53] Gi**
Want to talk to her?
**[04:54] Gu**
You dummy!
**[04:55] Gu**
Dummy! Dummy! Dummy! Dummy!
**[04:56] Gu**
Do you know how worried I was?!
**[05:00] Gu**
Shut up, shut up.
**[05:02] Gu**
Calm down, korpokkur.
**[05:03] Gi**
Who are you calling a korpokkur?!
**[05:06] Background**
Shirou, don't tell me
**[05:06] Gi**
Hear that?
**[05:08] Background**
you've been spending all this time,
messing around here?!
**[05:08] Gi**
She's fine. Shirou, as well.
**[05:13] Gu**
I see.
**[05:14] Gu**
Fine, then.
**[05:15] Gu**
I was initially concerned,
but it saves me some trouble.
**[05:18] Gu**
I can't have her going to school right now.
**[05:21] Gi**
It appears she wasn't planning to go, anyway.
**[05:24] Gi**
Either way, I guess this isn't
a good time for her to go.
**[05:28] Gi**
Explain what's going on here!
**[05:29] Gi**
So, Ren-kun,
**[05:30] Gi**
*are you more interested in talking to us?*
**[05:34] Gu**
Yeah.
**[05:35] Gu**
You have information, right?
**[05:37] Gu**
I want it.
**[05:39] Gu**
But first...
**[05:40] Gi**
*I know.*
**[05:42] Gu**
*Yo, Ren. You safe?*
**[05:45] Gu**
Well, what's up?
**[05:46] Gu**
*You know what!*
**[05:47] Gu**
Don't tell Kasumi a thing!
**[05:49] Gu**
About our fight or anything else!
**[05:51] S**
Roger. I guess you'll owe me one.
**[05:54] K**
Hey, is that Ren?
**[05:56] K**
Let me talk to him.
**[05:58] S**
You're so annoying!
**[06:01] S**
Here, come this way.
**[06:03] S**
Let's hear what you have to say.
**[06:05] S**
Did you get any further with Ren?
**[06:07] K**
Further how?
**[06:08] S**
What, you'll stay a virgin forever.
**[06:11] S**
Hopeless...
**[06:12] K**
Shut up!
**[06:14] Gi**
Anyway, back to our discussion.
**[06:26] Gi**
*I see. That's rough...*
**[06:30] Gi**
*But this senpai? Was leaving her okay?*
**[06:33] F**
No.
**[06:35] F**
But the priest said...
**[06:38] F**
I doubt you trust me,
**[06:40] F**
but I would like to say this.
**[06:43] F**
I have no intention of hurting Theresia.
**[06:51] Gi**
*You trust him.*
**[06:52] F**
No way.
**[06:54] F**
But he didn't seem to be lying, outright.
**[06:59] Gi**
*It seems pretty clear they know each other.*
**[07:01] Gi**
If you'd tried to take her, you might
have ended up fighting all of them.
**[07:07] Gi**
Oh, well.
**[07:08] Gi**
You couldn't do that while protecting them.
**[07:12] Gi**
More than anything, you lack information.
**[07:15] F**
That's where you come in, Honjou.
**[07:17] F**
The eight places they say
they've set up in town...
**[07:21] F**
You know what they are, right?
**[07:23] Gu**
*I do.*
**[07:25] Gu**
Suwahara City's always had a
bunch of weird companies.
**[07:29] Gu**
If you include places under their influence,
**[07:32] Gu**
it's basically everywhere.
**[07:35] Gu**
Like you heard,
**[07:37] Gu**
this whole town may have been
made for their purposes.
**[07:42] Gu**
My grandpa said the same thing.
**[07:44] F**
Your grandpa?
**[07:45] Gi**
That's right.
**[07:46] Gi**
Have you forgotten the name of the
hospital you and Shirou stayed at?
**[07:50] Gi**
My parents run it.
***SIGN*** Honjou General Hospital
**[07:53] Gi**
The Honjou General Hospital.
**[07:56] F**
You're actually rich, and you act like that?
**[07:58] Gi**
Act like what?
**[08:00] Gi**
Anyway, because of my family, I know
**[08:02] Gi**
a lot about shady stuff in this city.
**[08:04] Gi**
And these things you called swastikas...
**[08:07] Gi**
There are eight, right?
**[08:09] F**
Yeah. They said two have already opened.
**[08:12] Gi**
*Any idea where?*
**[08:13] F**
Yes.
**[08:15] F**
Probably the park
**[08:16] F**
and the museum.
**[08:17] Gi**
Then, at least half of the
remaining six are simple.
**[08:22] Gi**
My hospital.
**[08:23] Gi**
The school.
**[08:24] Gi**
The church.
**[08:25] Gi**
You figured those out yourself, didn't you?
**[08:28] F**
For the hospital, it was only after
what you said, but yes.
**[08:33] F**
I don't know the other three, though.
**[08:35] F**
Tell me, Honjou.
**[08:42] Gi**
The amusement park.
**[08:44] Gi**
The Tower.
**[08:46] Gi**
Civic Hall.
**[08:47] Gi**
That makes eight.
**[08:49] Gi**
In these eight places,
their influence is especially strong.
**[08:54] Gi**
Excluding the church, all are places
where many people gather.
**[08:58] Gi**
There will be no shortage of sacrifices.
**[09:02] Gi**
*What will you do?*
**[09:03] Gi**
*You can't protect all six simultaneously.*
**[09:07] F**
I'll go to the school.
**[09:08] F**
It's selfish, but that's the most
important place to me.
**[09:12] F**
Also, Sakurai and Rusalka were there.
**[09:16] F**
I can't ignore them.
**[09:18] Gi**
Okay.
**[09:19] Gi**
I thought you'd say that.
**[09:21] Gi**
The bridge was destroyed, and videos
of that giant are on the Internet.
**[09:25] Gi**
After all that chaos,
**[09:27] Gi**
everyone staying indoors
for a while would be great.
**[09:31] Gi**
But Japan's been at peace for so long,
**[09:33] Gi**
you can't hope for that.
**[09:35] F**
You can't do something about
the people at the hospital?
**[09:40] Gi**
*Well, I'm going to do what I can.*
**[09:44] F**
I see.
**[09:45] F**
Anyway, thanks, Honjou.
**[09:47] F**
I promise to repay you, someday.
**[09:49] F**
So be careful.
**[09:51] F**
Don't do anything crazy.
**[09:53] F**
Bye.
**[09:54] M**
Are you done talking?
**[09:55] M**
Look at this.
**[09:57] M**
I borrowed Kasumi's uniform!
**[10:00] M**
We're going to the school, aren't we?
**[10:02] M**
Does it look good on me, Ren?
**[10:05] F**
Yeah, it sure does.
**[10:08] F**
It really does.
**[10:15] F**
Let's go, Marie.
**[10:42] Gi**
Everyone's acting weird.
**[10:44] F**
Yeah.
**[10:45] F**
And Sakurai and Rusalka aren't here.
**[10:49] F**
Senpai isn't, either.
**[10:51] F**
In other words, they're trying to
keep anyone from escaping?
**[10:54] F**
They've arranged it so everyone
goes to school, no matter what.
**[10:57] F**
With hypnosis or something...
**[11:01] F**
But if that's the case, why aren't they here?
**[11:03] F**
And when did they do this?
**[11:07] F**
Damn it. I didn't realize it at all.
**[11:10] M**
Ren! Let's sit over here!
**[11:15] M**
Your eyes are like this!
**[11:18] M**
You haven't rested at all, have you?
**[11:20] M**
So sit down.
**[11:22] M**
It's nice!
**[11:49] F**
Thanks.
**[11:52] F**
I'm hungry.
**[11:54] M**
You're hungry, Ren?
**[11:56] F**
Yeah. A little.
**[12:00] F**
Are you okay, Marie?
**[12:01] M**
I'm fine, but what should we do?
**[12:05] M**
Want me to find you something?
**[12:07] F**
No... It's okay.
**[12:09] F**
I'll find myself thinking about
things that I can't change...
**[12:15] F**
Like always.
**[12:18] M**
I want to hear about what
you usually did here.
**[12:25] M**
Lots of people your age are here, huh?
**[12:29] M**
And the building's pretty, like a castle.
**[12:32] M**
It looks like a lot of fun!
**[12:38] F**
It is fun.
**[12:40] M**
Really?
**[12:42] F**
Yeah.
**[12:43] F**
Kasumi and Shirou were in my class.
**[12:48] F**
They're dumb and noisy.
**[12:50] F**
So they were always magnets for trouble.
**[12:54] F**
But really, that was so much fun.
**[12:57] F**
I hoped it would continue forever.
**[13:02] F**
I'd always go to the roof
to get away from everyone.
**[13:06] F**
My first year here, I met
this weird, older girl.
**[13:10] F**
And Kasu-dummy came up after me.
**[13:13] F**
It ended up being somewhere we hung out.
**[13:18] F**
Shirou was always really arrogant,
**[13:21] F**
and Senpai would eat these weird sandwiches.
**[13:25] F**
Until just a little while ago,
**[13:29] F**
the four of us were always together.
**[13:33] F**
And now...
**[13:36] M**
Then, can I be the fifth person?
**[13:41] M**
Is that okay?
**[13:50] F**
Okay.
**[13:52] F**
I'm sure it'll be fun.
**[13:54] F**
It's a promise.
**[15:24] Gi**
Gute Nacht.
**[15:26] Gi**
Goodnight, boys!
**[15:31] S**
She's here.
**[15:33] Gi**
Yeah, it seems so.
**[15:39] K**
Wait—
**[15:39] K**
What's going on here?
**[15:43] K**
Is that...
**[15:48] S**
Hide her, somewhere.
**[15:50] Gi**
Yeah, I know.
**[15:52] Gi**
We lied to Ren-kun.
**[15:54] Gi**
If we let her die, he'll be scary later.
**[16:05] M**
Ren?
**[16:06] F**
What was that?
**[16:10] F**
It can't be. A swastika?
**[16:23] Gi**
*In der Nacht, wo alles schläft*
**[16:27] Gi**
*Wie schön, den Meeresboden zu verlasse.*
**[16:31] Gi**
*Ich hebe den Kopf über das Wasser,*
**[16:35] Gi**
*Welch Freude, das Spiel der Wasserwellen.*
**[16:38] Gi**
*Durch die nun zerbrochene Stille,*
**[16:41] Gi**
*Rufen wir unsere Namen*
**[16:43] Gi**
*Pechschwarzes Haar wirbelt im Wind*
**[16:46] Gi**
*Welch Freude, sie trocknen zu sehen.*
**[16:55] S**
Bravo!
**[16:58] S**
Pretty good stuff for an old lady.
**[17:02] S**
Welcome.
**[17:04] S**
I didn't think you would come.
**[17:07] Gi**
Oh, you're talking about Bey, right?
**[17:10] Gi**
He seemed into you.
**[17:14] Gi**
But I like taking other people's things.
**[17:18] Gi**
No, that's right...
**[17:20] Gi**
I like messing with what others are doing.
**[17:25] Gi**
Oh, it tickles!
**[17:27] Gi**
It feels so good!
**[17:29] Gi**
Your territory is the school.
**[17:32] Gi**
Was cosplaying as a schoolgirl
starting to hurt, you old loli?
**[17:35] Gi**
No, I'm taking that one, too!
**[17:38] Gi**
I'm mean, greedy, and hungry.
**[17:42] Gi**
So please,
**[17:44] Gi**
let me eat you.
**[17:46] Gi**
*Briah―*
**[17:48] Gi**
*Csejte Ungarn Nachatzehrer!*
**[18:17] Gi**
So cute!
**[18:19] Gi**
You know that won't work,
but it's all you can do!
**[18:29] Gi**
Now, you two,
**[18:31] Gi**
let me hear your last words!
**[18:34] S**
This is so boring.
**[18:36] S**
Déjà vu again.
**[18:37] Gi**
You're boring.
**[18:40] Gi**
I'll crush you, lesser beings!
**[18:44] Gi**
What were they talking about?
**[18:46] Gi**
Are they stupid? That's the
problem with monkeys.
**[18:56] Gu**
Hey, what are you thinking?
**[19:00] F**
I'm sorry.
**[19:01] F**
I didn't mean to get in your way.
**[19:07] Gu**
Why have you been on my ass?
**[19:11] Gu**
You've been tailing me all day.
**[19:14] Gu**
I thought you'd kill me at any instant.
**[19:16] Gu**
And this is the result.
**[19:18] Gu**
Explain.
**[19:20] F**
I had something to do at the
place you wanted to go.
**[19:24] F**
I wanted to do things as quietly as possible,
**[19:27] F**
so I tailed you.
**[19:29] F**
But I guess it made things worse.
**[19:32] F**
Even so, the one good thing, I suppose,
**[19:36] F**
is that this is still fixable.
**[19:43] Gu**
Think you can get away from me
**[19:45] Gu**
with those words, after interrupting me
for your own purposes?
**[19:50] Gu**
If you want to apologize, tell me one thing.
**[19:53] Gu**
What were you and Spinne secretly doing?
**[19:57] Gu**
It looks like you tried to shut him up.
**[22:09] F**
Oh, dear...
**[22:11] F**
Species that act based on intuition
are difficult to handle.
**[22:14] F**
Very well.
**[22:15] F**
He and I were looking into
the Sonnenkind bloodline.
**[22:20] Gu**
What?
**[22:21] F**
He once activated the Berlin swastika.
**[22:25] F**
You remember him, don't you?
**[22:27] F**
Isaak, who was absorbed by Lord Heydrich,
became the core of Valhalla.
**[22:32] F**
His mother was Riza Brenner.
**[22:35] F**
Bey, do you recall that Isaak had a brother?
**[22:39] F**
Yes. A twin, right?
**[22:42] F**
Johann, I think.
**[22:44] F**
I was told that he was dead.
**[22:48] F**
Don't tell me...
**[22:49] F**
Yes, Johann survived.
**[22:52] F**
Riza lied about his death.
**[22:55] F**
Most likely, she didn't want
to see him sacrificed.
**[22:59] F**
In other words, there was
a second Sonnenkind...
**[23:01] F**
But then,
**[23:03] F**
where is that bloodline now?
**[23:07] Gu**
I see...
**[23:09] Gu**
So that's it?
**[23:11] Gu**
Put another way...
**[23:12] F**
Yes, I shall use all the pieces
prepared for me.
**[23:16] F**
As our acting leader, that is
the justice I must see done.
