[00:11] Nene
    The magical signature in this
    spot is massively abnormal.
[00:14] Nene
    This goes beyond just normal strength.
[00:22] Nene
    It's as if a powerful barrier has
    been placed around this entire house.
[00:28] Nene
    And at its center is...
[00:31] Nene
    Kohinata Mangetsu.
[00:34] Nene
    It can't be...
[00:37] Nene
    It can't be...
[00:39] Nene
    It can't be!

    Onee-chan...
[02:22] (Flashback) Shisui
    Don't look so sad.
[02:25] (Flashback) Kuon
    Are you really okay?
[02:30] (Flashback) Shisui
    The only way to protect you
    from them is to become a mage.
[02:36] (Flashback) Shisui
    It's the only way to get
    them to leave us alone.
[02:42] (Flashback) Kuon
    Onee-chan... You don't have to...
[02:45] (Flashback) Shisui
    It's all right. I can win.
[02:48] (Flashback) shisui
    Someday...
[02:51] (Flashback) Shisui
    I promise.
[02:58] (Flashback) Shisui
    If I don't come back,
[03:00] (Flashback) Shisui
    hide in this location.
[03:01] (Flashback) Kuon
    Just forget about GRANBELM!
[03:03] (Flashback) Kuon
    I can deal with it!
[03:05] (Flashback) Kuon
    Even if they take me, I...
[03:12] (Flashback) Kuon
    Onee-chan...
[03:16] (Flashback) Shisui
    I'm sorry.
[03:26] (Flashback) Shisui
    Wait... please...

    Where are you?

SIGN    Morning!
SIGN    Can we meet up?
[03:49] Mangetsu
    It says she's read it,
    but there's no reply...
[03:52] Shingetsu
    I see.
[03:54] Shingetsu
    Maybe it's best not to rely on her.
[03:57] Mangetsu
    Do you think she intends to fight by herself?
[04:00] Shingetsu
    Those fighting in GRANBELM
    normally do so alone, anyway.
[04:07] Shingetsu
    All right, let's begin.
[04:10] Shingetsu
    Relax.
[04:15] Mangetsu
    I know I said this before,
[04:17] Mangetsu
    but it really does look real.
[04:20] Mangetsu
    It feels just the same, too.
[04:22] Shingetsu
    The technique is projecting a part of
    your memory into your optic nerves.
[04:27] Shingetsu
    Like if you could dream
     while you were awake.
[04:34] Mangetsu
    Okay, here goes.
[04:38] Shingetsu
    Spirits have their own consciousness,
     though it can be faint.
[04:46] Shingetsu
    That means they can be cautious,
[04:48] Shingetsu
    but it's also possible to
    get them to befriend you.
[04:51] Mangetsu
    So they're kinda like pets?
[04:53] Shingetsu
    Just projecting your own mental image
    like you've done before won't be enough.
[05:00] Shingetsu
    You need to establish an accord with
    the spirit to allow you to approach it.
[05:04] Mangetsu
    Okay.
[05:06] Shingetsu
    Pull the strings in,
[05:07] Shingetsu
    drawing the magical power
    at the other end toward you.
[05:15] Shingetsu
    What happened?
[05:16] Mangetsu
    Nothing... I'm okay.
[05:18] Mangetsu
    I'll try one more time.
[05:40] Shingetsu
    Let's take a break.
[05:45] Mangetsu
    I know I can do it...
[05:46] Shingetsu
    We have time. No need to rush.
[05:50] Mangetsu
    But you can't fight in
    the next battle, can you?
[05:55] Shingetsu
    Considering the damage I took
    last time, probably not.
[06:07] Suishou
    You showed up.
[06:09] Suishou
    I didn't think you would.
[06:13] Suishou
    You heard, didn't you?
[06:15] Kuon
    Heard what?
[06:18] Suishou
    The truth.
[06:23] Suishou
    "Please..."
[06:26] Shisui
    "Please... eat me."
[06:30] Kuon
    You're making her say that, aren't you?!
[06:32] Kuon
    You're using that curse!
[06:33] Suishou
    If you really believed that,
[06:36] Suishou
    you wouldn't have come here.
[06:40] Suishou
    It's the truth.
[06:42] Suishou
    Your sister Shisui wanted me to eat her.
[06:48] Kuon
    You're lying...
[06:49] Suishou
    You heard it out of her mouth—
[06:51] Kuon
    You're lying!
[06:52] Suishou
    Why don't you ask her, then?
[06:54] Suishou
    Ask the part of her soul that's inside me.
[07:01] Kuon
    Onee-chan...
[07:05] Shisui
    Kuon.
[07:15] Suishou
    You were just a burden.
[07:20] Suishou
    I got tired of looking after you.
[07:32] Suishou
    How nice...
[07:34] Suishou
    It's just like turbulence on an airplane,
[07:36] Suishou
    the way your emotions
    abruptly rise and fall...
[07:43] Suishou
    I love those eyes.
[07:50] Suishou
    Hear me, mage,
[07:53] Suishou
    girl who has been chosen by
    Magiaconatus to be the Princeps...
[07:59] Suishou
    It is only by embracing your wounds—
    including ones you have yet to experience—
[08:05] Suishou
    that a mage can be born.
[08:10] Mangetsu
    No... No!
[08:14] Shingetsu
    Are you all right?
[08:16] Mangetsu
    Sorry I couldn't get it to come out.
[08:19] Mangetsu
    I guess I'm still just a klutz.
[08:22] Shingetsu
    No, it's not your fault.
[08:25] Shingetsu
    If I had explained it more clearly...
[08:28] Mangetsu
    That's not it at all. It's my fault.
[08:32] Mangetsu
    I just... can't help remembering...
[08:35] Mangetsu
    that white place of nothingness...
[08:39] Shingetsu
    As I told you before,
[08:41] Shingetsu
    there's no way you have nothing.
[08:45] Shingetsu
    Someone who had nothing wouldn't
    be of such help to me.
[08:50] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan...
[08:57] Mangetsu
    Please... Shingetsu-chan...
[09:01] Mangetsu
    I'm doing this for Shingetsu-chan.
[09:03] Mangetsu
    I want to protect Shingetsu-chan!
[09:06] Mangetsu
    Tell me your name.
[09:20] Mangetsu
    Is this...
[09:22] Shingetsu
    It's a spirit.
[09:24] Shingetsu
    A summoned spirit that you called here...
[09:28] Shingetsu
    Orca.
[09:31] Mangetsu
    So this is...
[09:36] Shingetsu
    What's important is that you don't
    forget what you're feeling right now.
[09:41] Mangetsu
    Okay! I'll practice!
[09:45] Mangetsu
    Here. To thank you.
[09:47] Shingetsu
    What did I tell you before?
[09:49] Shingetsu
    I don't eat in the evenings.
[09:50] Mangetsu
    Aw, it's fine. I want to eat
    with you, Shingetsu-chan.
[10:03] Shingetsu
    It's good!
[10:04] Mangetsu
    Right?
[10:07] Shingetsu
    I can't get into the habit of
    buying food to immediately eat.
[10:11] Nene
    Got a minute?
[10:15] Shingetsu
    You're...
[10:36] Mangetsu
    I can't see anything.
[10:39] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan?
[10:41] Shingetsu
    Yes?
[10:42] Mangetsu
    How does it feel? Think you can move?
[10:48] Shingetsu
    I'm all right.
[10:50] Mangetsu
    Are you okay?
[10:51] Shingetsu
    Yes.
[10:55] Mangetsu
    Stay here, Shingetsu-chan!
[10:57] Shingetsu
    Wait!
[10:58] Shingetsu
    I'll go.
[11:00] Mangetsu
    Huh?
[11:01] Shingetsu
    Get as far away as possible.
[11:04] (Flashback) Nene
    There's no doubt about it.
[11:06] (Flashback) Nene
    That girl, Kohinata Mangetsu, is...
[11:11] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan?!
[11:18] Mangetsu
    What?!
[11:24] Shingetsu
    It vanished?
[11:25] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan, where are you?
[11:27] Shingetsu
    Stay back, Mangetsu!
[11:29] Mangetsu
    But why—
[11:30] Shingetsu
    The magic is unstable... A barrier?
[11:41] Shingetsu
    Suishou...
[11:43] Kuon
    Be careful.
[11:44] Shingetsu
    Kuon?
[11:46] Kuon
    She's using that staff to
    control powerful magic.
[11:49] Kuon
    And...
[11:55] Kuon
    Her spirit is powerful, too.
[12:03] Shingetsu
    Where's it coming from?
[12:06] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan! Shingetsu-chan!
[12:15] Mangetsu
    What is that?!
[12:18] Kuon
    Suishou's spirit...
[12:20] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan! Shingetsu-chan!
[12:23] Kuon
    Mangetsu?
[12:30] Kuon
    She's fast!
[12:32] Kuon
    Mangetsu?
[12:35] Kuon
    Mangetsu... Mangetsu!
[12:49] Kuon
    Power of the earth, which
    exists within all things...
[13:08] Mangetsu
    What...
[13:08] Shingetsu
    This is...
[13:10] Kuon
    A trap.
[13:10] Kuon
    It was intended to make the
    three of us fight each other.
[13:17] Suishou
    I mean, it's three against one.
[13:19] Suishou
    You've got to give me this much, at least.
[13:22] Suishou
    Ah...
[13:23] Suishou
    I suppose it's actually two against one...
[13:32] Suishou
    How very savage.
[13:34] Suishou
    I just love how the color of
    your heart fluctuates.
[13:39] Kuon
    Shut up!
[13:41] Kuon
    Child of the earth!
[13:46] Mangetsu
    Kuon-chan!
[13:48] Shingetsu
    Don't!
[13:49] Mangetsu
    Why—
[13:50] Suishou
    Because then you would...
[13:52] Mangetsu
    Kuon-chan!
[13:53] Suishou
    ...find out the truth.
[13:56] Suishou
    The truth about what you really are.
[14:00] Mangetsu
    The truth?
[14:02] Suishou
    The fact that you are nothing.
[14:05] Suishou
    Right, Shingetsu?
[14:12] Mangetsu
    You keep saying these things
    to make us feel terrible,
[14:16] Mangetsu
    and to rile us up!
[14:17] Suishou
    Very well. Come to me.
[14:19] Suishou
    I will be your mirror.
[14:23] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan, why...
[14:29] Mangetsu
    What is it that you know?
[14:32] Suishou
    Shingetsu Ernesta...
[14:34] Suishou
    You'd better restrain yourself,
[14:36] Suishou
    or I'll tell them everything!
[14:57] Shingetsu
    This is...
[14:58] Shingetsu
    a spirit?
[15:01] Suishou
    It's the one who crawls, Medusa.
[15:05] Suishou
    Do your best. Before I defeat you...
[15:11] Suishou
    I'll bring this all to an end.
[15:15] Kuon
    Footsteps in the Silence!
[15:30] Suishou
    Now, that's no good. Your heart
    is already such a mess.
[15:35] Suishou
    If you're wavering that much...
[15:39] Suishou
    You're unworthy.
[15:43] Kuon
    Onee-chan...
[15:48] Suishou
    I'll eat you, too.
[15:52] Suishou
    Let's be together, Kuon.
[15:58] Mangetsu
    The truth? The truth about what I really am?
[16:07] Shingetsu
    Mangetsu...
[16:09] Mangetsu
    I can't think about it!
[16:11] Mangetsu
    That's what she wants.
[16:16] Mangetsu
    Orca!
[16:37] Suishou
    Well? How do you feel?
[16:42] Kuon
    Stop... using that voice...
[16:45] Shisui
    I just can't help thinking...
[16:49] Shisui
    If only she weren't around...
[16:52] Shisui
    Eat me.
[16:54] Kuon
    Stop! Stay out of my head!
[16:57] Suishou
    Don't you recognize me? I'm your sister.
[17:00] Kuon
    Stop! Stop!
[17:02] Kuon
    Stop!
[17:04] Suishou
    It's your big sister, who just loves Suishou.
[17:10] Kuon
    Stop...
[17:11] Suishou
    Go on, say it. Say, "Eat me."
[17:16] Suishou
    "Please eat me."
[17:19] Suishou
    See?
[17:25] Kuon
    Please...
[17:30] Kuon
    Me, too...
[17:54] Kuon
    This sound...
[17:56] Kuon
    Onee-chan...
[18:34] Suishou
    You little—
[18:46] Kuon
    Onee-chan...
[18:48] Kuon
    Onee-chan, you were with me this whole time...
[18:53] (Flashback) Shisui
    I'm sorry.
[19:06] Suishou
    What's this?
[19:07] Suishou
    Further abusing your victim, now?
[19:09] Kuon
    You're not the victim here.
[19:12] Kuon
    You don't get it?
[19:15] Kuon
    You don't know why my sister was eaten?
[19:17] Kuon
    Why she asked to be eaten?
[19:19] Kuon
    You were fooled.
[19:22] Kuon
    My sister fooled you!
[19:25] Kuon
    My sister got you to eat her on purpose!
[19:27] Kuon
    All to defeat you!
[19:29] Suishou
    Wha—
[19:30] Kuon
    I finally understand.
[19:32] (Flashback) Kuon
    You can't!
[19:33] (Flashback) Kuon
    There are dozens of them, aren't there?
[19:35] (Flashback) Kuon
    And you have to be the last
    one left at the end, right?
[19:40] (Flashback) Shisui
    That's why I have to.
[19:43] (Flashback) Shisui
    To protect you.
[19:47] Kuon
    What my sister said... meant the same thing!
[19:55] Suishou
    As if that's—
[19:57] Suishou
    She's fast!
[20:06] Kuon
    Child of the earth!
[20:32] Mangetsu
    Wow...
[20:36] Shingetsu
    This is...
[20:38] Shingetsu
    the power of SETSGETS BAIKA...
[20:44] Kuon
    Onee-chan...
[21:11] Kuon
    What?
[21:15] Suishou
    Well?
[21:17] Suishou
    It's a lovely doll, isn't it?
[21:20] Mangetsu
    That's...
[21:30] Mangetsu
    Kuon-chan!
[21:33] Mangetsu
    Don't!
[21:34] Shingetsu
    Mangetsu!
[21:36] (Flashback) Shingetsu
    Then... Mangetsu...
[21:39] (Flashback) Shingetsu
    Mangetsu is...
[21:41] (Flashback) Shingetsu
    She's...
[21:42] Suishou
    So you came after all,
