[00:05] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan?
[00:10] Suishou
    Toying with people's hearts is so much fun.
[00:14] Kuon
    Wake my sister up!
[00:17] Kuon
    Lift her curse!
[00:20] Kuon
    Please...
[00:25] Kuon
    If you'll remove her curse...
[00:27] Kuon
    I'm willing to lose to you!
[00:31] Suishou
    Really?
[00:39] Suishou
    Magical power comes and goes
    in time with the user's heart.
[00:44] Suishou
    It changes so easily from
    one color to the next.
[00:48] Suishou
    Red, blue, yellow, ultramarine...
[00:51] Suishou
    What color is your magic?
[00:54] Kuon
    What? Is this...
[01:05] Mangetsu
    Kuon-chan!
[01:07] Suishou
    Welcome...
SIGN    GRANBELM
SIGN    The Two Princeps
[03:05] Mangetsu
    Where am I?
[03:15] Mangetsu
    Huh?
[03:15] Kuon
    Onee-chan...
[03:18] Mangetsu
    Kuon-chan?
[03:20] Mangetsu
    Wait! Wait, wait!
[03:22] Mangetsu
    Kuon-chan! Kuon-chan!
[03:26] Kuon
    You're...
[03:30] Kuon
    What did you do?
[03:32] Mangetsu
    Nothing!
[03:33] Mangetsu
    Whoa! Wait! Give me half! Give me half!
[03:36] Kuon
    No!
[03:39] Mangetsu
    Why did we come back to
    your place, Shingetsu-chan?
[03:43] Shingetsu
    You didn't "come back" here.
[03:46] Shingetsu
    If you're not envisioning where you
    want to return to when the battle ends,
[03:50] Shingetsu
    you're sent back to the
    place you entered it from.
[03:53] Mangetsu
    Oh...
[03:55] Shingetsu
    And you're returned naked.
[03:59] Shingetsu
    When you want to go back,
    you need to envision
[04:01] Shingetsu
    where you're going back to
    and what you were wearing.
[04:05] Kuon
    Tell us that sooner!
[04:07] Shingetsu
    What is it?
[04:09] Mangetsu
    How did the battle end?
    What happened to Anna-san?
[04:13] Shingetsu
    I told you that I wouldn't lose to her.
[04:16] Shingetsu
    The core of her ARMANOX
    was completely destroyed,
[04:19] Shingetsu
    which means she's been
    removed from GRANBELM.
[04:24] Mangetsu
    I'm sure she'll understand someday.
[04:32] Mangestu
    Oh, it's Nene-chan.
[04:34] Kuon
    What'd she say?
SIGN    The pig
[04:36] Mangetsu
    "The pig"?
SIGN    Bring it to me
[04:48] Nene
    And... there.
[04:50] Mangetsu
    Oh, wow!
[04:51] Nene
    DROSELA NOCTURNE.
[04:53] Nene
    Judging from its calm movements here,
[04:55] Nene
    it's clearly not fighting at full strength.
[04:58] Nene
    What family is its mage from?
[05:00] Shingetsu
    I think her name was... Suishou?
[05:03] Nene
    Suishou? Never heard of her.
[05:06] Nene
    And there's no record of this mech
    being used in past GRANBELM battles.
[05:10] Mangetsu
    She lived at Anna-san's house, right?
[05:12] Shingetsu
    Apparently.
[05:13] Shingetsu
    Based on their relationship,
[05:15] Shingetsu
    she doesn't seem to be from
    a very large mage family.
[05:17] Nene
    I see.
[05:18] Nene
    What about this "Anna" girl, then?
[05:23] Nene
    What mage family is she from?
[05:25] Mangetsu
    Her family? You know who she is.
[05:28] Mangetsu
    The one who piloted ACONITE GRIS.
[05:31] Nene
    What ARMANOX is that?
[05:34] Shingetsu
    It's red, and it was handed
    down in the Fugo family.
[05:38] Shingetsu
    You fought it, remember?
[05:40] Nene
    The Fugo family?
[05:43] Nene
    That bloodline was defeated
    before I was, wasn't it?
[05:53] Mangetsu
    She lost her memories?
[05:55] Kuon
    It definitely seems that way.
[05:57] Kuon
    She's lost all her memories
    of Anna's existence.
[06:01] Mangetsu
    Why?
[06:02] Kuon
    Some kind of magic that was too powerful
    for a mage's life force to endure
[06:06] Kuon
    wiped them out.
[06:08] Mangetsu
    You mean...
[06:10] Kuon
    Any idea how it happened?
[06:14] Kuon
    You know, don't you?
[06:16] Shingetsu
    I haven't made certain of it, but...
[06:20] Shingetsu
    In the end, I saw light
    spreading within my mind,
[06:23] Shingetsu
    then it vanished.
[06:25] Shingetsu
    It was Anna's light.
[06:27] Mangetsu
    But how could people
    forget her just like that?
[06:31] Kuon
    Magic...
[06:34] Kuon
    All memories and records involving
    Anna have been erased.
[06:38] Kuon
    After we all fought,
[06:40] Kuon
    powerful magic intervened in this world
[06:44] Kuon
    to make it as though her
    death never happened.
[06:49] Mangetsu
    Magic?
[06:51] Clare
    Onee-sama!
[06:53] Clare
    Onee-sama, hurry up!
[06:57] Clare
    C'mon, what are you doing? Let's go!
[07:01] Rosa
    Calm down.
[07:04] Rosa
    I'll be right there.
[07:12] Clare
    Come on! We're going to be late!
[07:14] Rosa
    You're not forgetting anything, are you?
[07:15] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan...
[07:16] Clare
    I'm all set! Hurry up or
    we'll leave you behind!
[07:18] Shingetsu
    Anna...
[07:21] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan!
[07:23] Kuon
    Nothing you say will change the truth.
[07:39] Mangetsu
    White...
[07:44] Mangetsu
    No... No! No!
[07:51] Kuon
    Is something wrong?
[07:54] Mangetesu
    No.
[08:02] Mimi
    Magical signatures? But there aren't any.
[08:06] Nene
    There must be something,
[08:07] Nene
    if what those girls said is true.
[08:10] Nana
    Is there any chance that they saw
    some kind of illusion in that space?
[08:15] Nene
    It's possible, of course. But...
[08:18] Mimi
    What?
[08:19] Nene
    You can go to bed.
[08:21] Nene
    Half the reason I'm doing
    this is because I enjoy it.
[08:26] Nene
    Knock it off.
[08:27] Mimi
    You should get some sleep.
[08:29] Mimi
    You're still too little.
[08:32] Mimi
    So... who do you think is going to win?
[08:37] Mimi
    In GRANBELM.
[08:42] Kuon
    Onee-chan...
[08:48] Kuon
    Onee-chan's smell...
[08:50] Kuon
    Onee-chan's sound...
[09:05] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan...
[09:08] Suishou
    Nice to meet you.
[09:16] Suishou
    I'm Hakamada Suishou.
[09:18] Suishou
    Hiya!
[09:20] Shingetsu
    Suishou's there?
[09:23] Shingetsu
    Well, just try to keep your distance.
[09:26] Shingetsu
    Getting mixed up with her
    would be dangerous.
[09:28] Mangetsu
    Okay. But why is she...
[09:31] Shingetsu
    I don't know.
[09:32] Shingetsu
    But it's clear she's after something.
[09:36] Shingetsu
    How did her battle with Kuon end?
[09:39] Mangetsu
    The battle...
[09:42] Mangetsu
    Uh, well...
[09:45] Mangetsu
    Anyway, are you doing okay?
[09:47] Mangetsu
    I know I shouldn't say this lightly, but...
[09:53] Mangetsu
    Don't blame yourself, okay?
[09:57] Shingetsu
    Thanks.
[10:17] Suishou
    You're not allowed to use
    smartphones at school.
[10:24] Suishou
    Stuck the landing!
[10:25] Mangetsu
    Wh-What do you want?
[10:28] Suishou
    Were you that scared when you
    talked to that "Kuon" girl, too?
[10:33] Suishou
    You three fought together, didn't you?
[10:36] Suishou
    Which means I'll be all by
    myself in the next battle.
[10:40] Suishou
    That's so unfair.
[10:42] Suishou
    Why don't you team up with me next time?
[10:45] Suishou
    If you'll make me a mage, I'll use
    magic to grant any wish you want.
[10:50] Mangetsu
    I don't have any wishes,
[10:53] Mangetsu
    and I don't even want to be a mage.
[10:56] Suishou
    Then why are you fighting?
[10:59] Mangetsu
    For Shingetsu-chan!
[11:00] Suishou
    Why?
[11:02] Mangetsu
    Because I like her!
[11:03] Mangetsu
    And I want to help make her wish come true!
[11:06] Mangetsu
    I don't care if it's unfair. You can
    call it underhanded if you want.
[11:10] Mangetsu
    Because that's...
[11:12] Mangetsu
    my only wish!
[11:15] Suishou
    Is that really true?
[11:18] Mangetsu
    What do you mean?
[11:19] Suishou
    Who knows?
[11:21] Suishou
    Well, that's fine... for now, anyway.
[11:24] Mangetsu
    Why did you do what you did?
[11:27] Mangetsu
    You cursed Kuon-chan's
    sister, too, didn't you?
[11:31] Mangetsu
    But... when you were fighting her,
    you... teased her like that...
[11:40] Suishou
    Want to try it, too?
[11:45] Suishou
    Don't make such a scary face.
[11:48] Suishou
    It's because I like both of them.
[11:50] Mangetsu
    You like them?
[11:52] Suishou
    Yep.
[11:53] Suishou
    Both Shisui and Kuon.
[11:56] Suishou
    Let me give you just one piece
    of advice, Kohinata Mangetsu.
[12:01] Mangetsu
    What?
[12:02] Suishou
    You shouldn't involve yourself
    in GRANBELM anymore.
[12:07] Suishou
    You're not cut out for it.
[12:10] Suishou
    You have nothing, after all.
[12:16] Suishou
    Nothing.
[12:35] Suishou
    I'm impressed you stopped.
[12:37] Suishou
    But it makes sense that you
    did. I know you love me.
[12:43] Kuon
    What did you do?
[12:44] Kuon
    What did you do to me?!
[12:47] Suishou
    Not a thing.
[12:49] Suishou
    I just ate a little bit...
[12:52] Suishou
    of your sister Shisui's soul.
[13:06] Suishou
    That's why you sense so much
[13:09] Suishou
    of your sister's scent, her voice,
    and her magic in this body.
[13:16] Suishou
    See? You want me to hug you, don't you?
[13:19] Suishou
    You want me to hold you close, don't you?
[13:21] Suishou
    You want me to look at you, don't you?
[13:24] Suishou
    Come, Kuon...
[13:32] Kuon
    Give it back!
[13:37] Kuon
    Give my sister's soul back!
[13:43] Nana
    I'm ba—Oh.
[13:45] Nana
    You'll get even smaller if you
    keep pulling all-nighters.
[13:49] Nene
    There has to be something! There has to be!
[13:51] Nana
    Magic interference? But the
    numbers are super low.
[13:55] Nene
    If either we or the other girls were
    having our memories altered by magic,
[14:00] Nene
    these numbers wouldn't be possible.
[14:03] Nana
    Doesn't that just confirm none of you
     are being manipulated, then?
[14:06] Nene
    There are still records of inconsistencies
    in the memories of participants.
[14:11] Nene
    Apparently the cause was never found...
[14:15] Nana
    And you want to find it.
[14:17] Nene
    Obviously!
[14:22] Nana
    You actually like those
    girls quite a bit, huh?
[14:27] Nene
    Yeah, I do.
[14:29] Nene
    They all have their own reasons
    for taking part in this battle.
[14:34] Nana
    Well, then...
[14:36] Nana
    I need to put this stuff in the fridge.
[14:50] Nene
    Noise canceling...
[14:52] Nana
    Huh?
[14:53] Nene
    To counter powerful magic,
[14:55] Nene
    you'd generate the inverse of
    that magic to cancel it out.
[14:58] Nana
    You can do that?
[15:00] Nene
    It's normally impossible, of course.
[15:03] Nene
    But for someone capable of
    using really powerful magic...
[15:07] Nene
    For example, a being that's
    like a mass of magical power,
[15:11] Nene
    made of all the sealed magic in the world...
[15:21] Nana
    What is this?
[15:23] Nene
    Magic factors...
[15:24] Nene
    These numbers wouldn't have been possible
    even a thousand years before mages lived!
[15:29] Nana
    But all the magic in the
    world is sealed, right?
[15:32] Nana
    In Magiaconatus?
[15:34] Nene
    That's the accepted theory.
[15:35] Nene
    But something that could cause
    this many magic interferences
[15:40] Nene
    could create whatever kind
    of "history" it wanted.
[15:43] Nana
    This signal's stronger than all the others!
[15:59] (Flashback) Suishou
    You have nothing.
[16:03] Mangetsu
    Don't think about it! Don't think about it!
[16:05] Mangetsu
    That's exactly what she wants.

[16:48] Shingetsu
    I said you didn't have to do this...
[16:51] Mangetsu
    It's okay. I wanted to go
    out for a walk, anyway.
[16:58] Shingetsu
    Did everything go all right with Suishou?
[17:00] Mangetsu
    Yeah.
[17:01] Mangetsu
    She said a lot of things, but I'm fine.
[17:04] Shingetsu
    What things?
[17:05] Mangetsu
    Oh... Well, nothing that important.
[17:11] Shingetsu
    You're lying.
[17:14] Shingetsu
    I can tell by looking at you.
[17:19] Mangetsu
    Well, if you get to say
    that... you're lying, too.
[17:22] Shingetsu
    Me?
[17:24] Mangetsu
    Yeah.
[17:28] Mangetsu
    Tear tracks.
[17:32] Mangetsu
    You loved Anna-san, didn't you?
[17:37] Shingetsu
    I don't have the right to cry.
[17:39] Shingetsu
    I'm sure she still hates me.
[17:44] Mangetsu
    Even so...
[17:46] Mangetsu
    I'll still keep supporting you.
[17:49] Mangetsu
    No matter how much you blame yourself,
[17:52] Mangetsu
    I don't think it was your fault.
[17:59] Shingetsu
    Mangetsu...
[18:00] Mangetsu
    Yes?
[18:01] Shingestu
    Please drop out of GRANBELM.
[18:05] Mangetsu
    Huh?
[18:06] Shingetsu
    I don't want to involve you any further.
[18:08] Shingetsu
    There's no reason, nor any
    need, for you to fight.
[18:13] Mangestu
    Because I have nothing, right?
[18:15] Shingetsu
    Mangetsu...
[18:17] Mangetsu
    Suishou told me that, too.
[18:21] Mangetsu
    She told me to drop out
     because I have nothing.
[18:25] Mangetsu
    That I'm not cut out for it.
[18:27] Shingetsu
    No! What I'm saying is...
[18:29] Mangetsu
    I know.
[18:31] Mangetau
    I know that wasn't what
    you were trying to say.
[18:48] Shingetsu
    It hurts... watching you fight.
[18:53] Shingetsu
    The rest of us have been
    hurt, lost something,
[18:57] Shingetsu
    grown obsessed, or carried some
    burden that kept us fighting.
[19:02] Shingetsu
    We had no choice but to fight.
[19:04] Shingetsu
    Fighting and becoming mages was all we had.
[19:08] Shingetsu
    But you...
[19:11] Mangetsu
    You're wrong. Having nothing is my burden.
[19:17] Mangetsu
    It's white and invisible.
    It's literally nothing, but it's so heavy.
[19:21] Mangetsu
    That's the burden I carry.
[19:24] Mangetsu
    Just like the rest of you,
[19:26] Mangetsu
    I want to do something with it.
[19:29] Mangetsu
    That's why I've kept fighting.
[19:36] Shingetsu
    Tear tracks.
[19:44] Shingetsu
    That may be how you feel,
[19:47] Shingetsu
    but I don't think that's true,
    no matter what happens.
[19:55] Mangetsu
    So we're the same.
[19:57] Shingetsu
    I guess we are.
[19:59] Mangetsu
    Then... I still want to fight with you!
[20:05] Mangetsu
    I can, right?
[20:10] Shingetsu
    I let you spoil me too much.
[20:13] Mangetsu
    Well, the same goes for me.
[20:28] Kuon
    Onee-chan...
[20:33] (Flashback) Shisui
    You and I are the strongest.
[20:36] (Flashback) Kuon
    The strongest?
[20:38] (Flashback) Shisui
    Yes. Your lightness and my heaviness...
[20:43] (Flashback) Shisui
    By putting them together,
    we can control everything.
[20:48] Kuon
    Onee-chan...
[20:54] Kuon
    Onee-chan?
[20:56] Shisui
    Wait... please...
[21:00] Shisui
    Suishou...
[21:02] Kuon
    Suishou?
[21:07] Shisui
    Please...
[21:20] Suishou
    Morning!
[21:21] Mangetsu
    Morning.
[21:22] Shingetsu
    Always nice to see you.
[21:23] Suishou
    Are you two planning to gang up on me?
[21:26] Suishou
    That's not fair.
[21:27] Shingetsu
    I would settle for one-on-one.
[21:29] Shingetsu
    But I don't see anything wrong
    with ganging up on someone
[21:32] Shingetsu
    who toys with people's hearts for fun.
[21:36] Suishou
    My, you've grown so defiant.
[21:38] Mangetsu
    Is that a problem?
[21:39] Suishou
    Nope.
[21:41] Suishou
    That just makes things more interesting.
[21:43] Suishou
    It'll be more fun to break you.
[21:56] Nene
    That girl...
[21:58] Nene
    Even for someone who enters
    Magiaconatus and fights,
[22:02] Nene
    the numbers on these magic
    interferences are too extreme.
[22:05] Nene
    Plus...
[22:09] Nene
    Here, too...
[22:13] Kibou
    Oh, Nene-chan!
