**[00:01] Taiga**
Are we really the only ones
that are going to retreat?!
**[00:04] Taiga**
What about Fukami and Inohara's
frontline units?!
**[00:06] Soldier**
We can't get a hold of
them on the radio,
**[00:08] Soldier**
so we're withdrawing the frontline units
when they come back for supplies.
**[00:12] Taiga**
What on earth is happening?
**[00:14] Soldier**
No clue. The only option for
now is to obey the orders.
**[00:18] Taiga**
Fukami... Inohara...
**[00:23] Gumi**
Taiga-dono! Let's hurry!
**[00:25] Soldier**
Now, get in!
**[00:26] Soldier**
Hurry, or else we won't be able to save her!
**[00:30] Taiga**
Okay, let's hurry.
**[00:34] Taiga**
Hmm?
**[00:36] Soldier**
What's the matter?
**[00:38] Taiga**
Where did he go?
***SIGN*** The Fated Answer
**[02:23] Maki**
Man, how far did Sis go?
**[02:26] Maki**
Well, she'd be lost in hell by herself.
**[02:30] Maki**
Guess I'll tag along until the end!
**[02:41] Maki**
I see.
**[02:43] Maki**
You cleared the area so nobody would
interfere with your hunting, huh?
**[02:50] Maki**
It's time I repay you for
the wound in my stomach.
**[03:07] Rena**
This might be pretty serious...
I can't move my arm at all.
**[03:13] Kuroe**
Come out, Fukami!
**[03:15] Kuroe**
No need to worry. It's just the two of us.
**[03:18] Rena**
Like I can take your word for it?!
**[03:20] Kuroe**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[03:21] Kuroe**
What can you do when
you're severely wounded?
**[03:24] Kuroe**
You know that I could end you
any time I want, don't you?
**[03:28] Rena**
We'll see about that!
**[03:30] Kuroe**
What a surprise.
**[03:33] Kuroe**
You still want to do this?
**[04:20] Maki**
You're so annoyin'!
**[04:26] Maki**
You little... I'll show you what I got!
**[04:36] Maki**
Don't mess with me, you moron!
**[05:02] Maki**
That's...
**[05:04] Maki**
m-my gun.
**[05:08] Maki**
Give it back.
**[05:12] Kyla**
Die.
**[05:23] Maki**
My bad.
**[05:28] Maki**
My gun is a bit stubborn.
**[05:35] Maki**
Damn bastard.
**[05:43] Maki**
Oh, the watch...
**[05:47] Maki**
Where did it go?
**[05:50] Alexei**
Once nobody winds that watch,
**[05:54] Alexei**
my spirit too, will have served
its purpose and move on.
**[05:59] Alexei**
Find what you truly wish to do until then.
**[06:03] Alexei**
That is my last and final
order to you as your master.
**[06:12] Maki**
Oh, I see...
**[06:15] Maki**
That watch must've served its purpose.
**[06:36] 1st Assistant**
External periphery of lower
limb is completely missing.
**[06:38] 1st Assistant**
Her vitals are currently stable. However...
**[06:43] 2nd Assistant**
There's a change in her vitals.
**[06:45] 2nd Assistant**
Her blood pressure is dropping.
**[06:46] 1st Assistant**
What?!
**[06:48] Ichiru**
Is it an infectious disease?
**[06:49] 1st Assistant**
There's no time!
Please give us your orders!
**[06:51] Ichiru**
Switch to Plan B.
**[06:53] Ichiru**
We will now perform an amputation
on the patient's right leg.
**[07:01] Kuroe**
At Hallow, your master's order to "not
die" was to be obeyed at all costs.
**[07:05] Kuroe**
And you're still trying to follow that?
**[07:11] Kuroe**
Oh, you're still trying to run from me?
**[07:15] Kuroe**
What's wrong? No more energy for yapping?
**[07:19] Rena**
You too, Senpai. I bet
you're out of bullets.
**[07:24] Kuroe**
You fool.
**[07:25] Kuroe**
Unlike your class, I didn't receive
the kind of reckless education
**[07:29] Kuroe**
that leaves my master
to clean up the mess.
**[07:32] Kuroe**
You never know when to give up, do you?
**[07:38] Rena**
It doesn't hurt! It doesn't hurt!
It doesn't hurt even a bit!
**[07:44] Kuroe**
Damn you, let go!
**[07:59] Kuroe**
This is the end.
**[08:09] (Flashback) Haruto**
What are you good at?
**[08:12] (Flashback) Rena**
If you're thinking of buying me,
you should think again.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Haruto**
Why is that?
**[08:17] (Flashback) Rena**
Even my mom didn't want me.
**[08:19] (Flashback) Rena**
I'm a scaredy-cat and
a crybaby that nobody wants.
**[08:22] (Flashback) Haruto**
But aren't you an assassin?
**[08:26] (Flashback) Haruto**
Hmm...
**[08:28] (Flashback) Haruto**
Well, being a scaredy-cat and a crybaby
is something you can overcome.
**[08:32] (Flashback) Rena**
But...
**[08:33] (Flashback) Haruto**
You see, I'm not interested in an
assassin who's good at killing people.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Haruto**
It's harder to keep one person alive
than to kill five people.
**[08:44] (Flashback) Haruto**
I'm interested in someone who
can do that kind of job.
**[08:49] Rena**
Back then, Master saved me.
**[08:58] Rena**
Yet... I got in his way.
**[09:02] Rena**
That's why... That's why!
**[09:05] Kuroe**
Y-You!
**[09:07] Rena**
I'm gonna drag you to him,
even if that costs my life!
**[09:11] Rena**
I have a dream I want to achieve with him!
**[09:14] Rena**
That is why I fight, and that's
all the purpose I have!
**[09:21] Kuroe**
You aren't the only one
who thinks like that!
**[09:24] Kuroe**
Everyone who graduated from
Hallow thinks the same!
**[09:27] Kuroe**
I also have a reason...
A reason I have to fight!
**[09:39] Kuroe**
Don't tell me, you...!
**[09:41] Jonah**
I'm protecting my angel.
**[09:43] Jonah**
And that means protecting the
people she cares about, too.
**[09:46] Kuroe**
"Angel"? What are you talking about?
**[09:49] Kuroe**
I'm reporting this to Sensei!
**[09:51] Jonah**
Suit yourself.
**[09:52] Jonah**
That man is not God. He can kill,
but he can't save others.
**[09:58] Kuroe**
You don't know anything about him!
**[10:11] Tadokoro**
Help Fukami first!
**[10:13] Tadokoro**
After treating her wounds,
take her and Inohara to the base!
**[10:34] Soldier**
Two of your subordinates are
being transported here!
**[10:37] Soldier**
One of them is in stable condition,
but the other is critical!
**[10:40] Soldier**
They're arriving in five minutes!
Prepare for the operation!
**[10:46] Ayame**
Fukami is in critical condition.
**[10:48] Ayame**
She went against Kuroe Samejima, huh?
**[10:51] Haruto**
Rena isn't an idiot.
**[10:52] Haruto**
She would've fled the scene
before it was too late if she could have.
**[10:56] Ayame**
I heard Inohara had her arm broken as well.
**[10:58] Haruto**
Yeah. And Tohka, too...
**[11:00] Ayame**
We're winning here without a doubt,
**[11:04] Ayame**
but the injuries of the
SORD students are serious.
**[11:07] Haruto**
We have no choice but to withdraw now
that we've lost so much of our strength.
**[11:11] Ayame**
In that case, we're going to retreat too.
**[11:13] Ayame**
All SORD students are to withdraw,
including Kyosen and St. Yale.
**[11:19] Haruto**
Please look after everyone.
**[11:21] Ayame**
Sure.
**[11:22] Haruto**
It's as you heard.
**[11:24] Haruto**
Arisaka-sensei, I'm leaving
the rest in your hands.
**[11:27] Shiori**
Huh?
**[11:28] Haruto**
There's not much time, so I'm going
to go fetch Yuuki and Murasaki.
**[11:32] Shiori**
Right now?!
**[11:33] Haruto**
Our students will want to come with me if
they hear I'm off to pick them up.
**[11:38] Haruto**
So, please keep an eye on them to prevent
them from doing anything reckless.
**[11:42] Haruto**
That is my request.
**[11:44] Shiori**
But...
**[11:45] Haruto**
Those girls stopped you when you tried
to go to Kitaoka University on your own.
**[11:51] Haruto**
From now on, it is you who
is going to stop them.
**[11:56] Shiori**
That isn't fair.
**[11:59] Haruto**
I'm aware that I'm not being fair with you.
**[12:01] Haruto**
That is why I'm genuinely
asking for your help.
**[12:03] Haruto**
They'll listen to you now, Sensei.
**[12:07] Shiori**
Do you think so?
**[12:09] Haruto**
Arisaka-sensei, you've brought them this
far by putting yourself in their shoes.
**[12:17] Haruto**
You're a great teacher.
**[12:25] Shiori**
Okay.
**[12:26] Haruto**
Oh, please take care of this, too.
**[12:29] Haruto**
It's something Rena asked for.
**[12:32] Haruto**
It's nothing special, so go ahead and give
it to her once we've finished this mission.
**[12:37] Shiori**
Sure...
**[12:38] Izumi**
Haruto.
**[12:40] Izumi**
Here, I've made adjustments
to it for the final battle.
**[12:43] Haruto**
Thank you very much.
**[12:44] Shiori**
The "final battle"?
**[12:46] Ataru**
We made it duller than usual.
**[12:48] Shiori**
Huh?
**[12:49] Ataru**
In exchange, there won't be any nicks
in the blade, nor will it get rusty.
**[12:53] Ataru**
A weapon for massacre, if you will.
**[13:45] Ichiru**
What's up with the hair?
**[13:47] Haruto**
To pump myself up.
**[13:49] Haruto**
You're done with the operation, right?
**[13:51] Ichiru**
Yeah.
**[13:52] Ichiru**
We were able to keep her arm.
**[13:54] Ichiru**
But we'll have to see about her right eye.
**[13:56] Haruto**
I see.
**[13:58] Ichiru**
Will you resent me?
**[14:00] Haruto**
Sniper Tohka Shishigaya and
attacker Rena Fukami are dead.
**[14:06] Haruto**
But they're both physically alive.
Thanks to you, Ichiru-san.
**[14:10] Ichiru**
What if the Sengoku family send them off
**[14:13] Ichiru**
to battle by making them
androids with all we have?
**[14:17] Haruto**
Whether they go or not will
be up to them from now on.
**[14:24] Ichiru**
Yeah, I know.
**[14:27] Ichiru**
It was just a joke.
**[14:29] Ichiru**
And you're going after all?
**[14:32] Haruto**
I'll leave Enishi-san for you guys.
**[14:35] Ichiru**
You knew everything all along?
**[14:36] Haruto**
Mihama didn't have to participate in this
war if it was just gaining control of the land.
**[14:41] Haruto**
Yet, you sent Mihama.
**[14:44] Ichiru**
You get your sharpness from
your master, I'll give you that.
**[14:47] Haruto**
Kids have to settle their own fights.
**[14:52] Ichiru**
Adults have to settle things
amongst themselves, too.
**[14:56] Ichiru**
There's nothing for you to worry about.
**[14:59] Haruto**
Thank you, Ichiru-san.
**[15:17] Kuroe**
You were still here?
**[15:20] Enishi**
Yeah.
**[15:21] Enishi**
Because I'm the one the enemy is after.
**[15:24] Enishi**
A horse won't run straight if the carrot
in front is dangling all over the place, right?
**[15:29] Kuroe**
You've done enough, don't you think?
**[15:32] Enishi**
So she says. What should we do, Sasaki-kun?
**[15:35] Ja-Ja**
*I'll stay as long as I can.*
**[15:38] Ja-Ja**
* I gotta take care of the self-destruction of*
* the field artillery and collect its data.*
**[15:42] Kuroe**
You're still here?
**[15:43] Ja-Ja**
*Right back at you.*
**[15:46] Kuroe**
Sensei, please escape!
**[15:48] Kuroe**
I won't be able to secure a route
for you if you stay any longer.
**[15:51] Kuroe**
I beg you, Sensei!
**[15:54] Enishi**
Okay, okay.
**[15:56] Enishi**
I'll do as you say if you insist that much.
**[15:58] Ja-Ja**
*Hey!*
**[15:59] Enishi**
Be a good girl for me, Sasaki-kun.
**[16:02] Enishi**
We did enough.
**[16:04] Ja-Ja**
* Fine. And I'll say it as many times as I*
* need to. Stop calling me by my real name.*
**[16:11] Homura**
What's the matter?
**[16:12] Homura**
Is that all you've got with
the two of you combined?
**[16:15] Homura**
Stop wasting your time hiding from me.
**[16:17] Homura**
You can have this. So, come out,
come out, wherever you are!
**[16:22] Murasaki**
Big Sis!
**[16:23] Yuuki**
This is bad! It's nerve gas!
**[16:28] Homura**
Where are you shooting?
**[16:33] Murasaki**
Big Sis!
**[16:39] Yuuki**
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
**[16:41] Homura**
I bet your cranial nerves went bonkers.
**[16:44] Homura**
It must be painful!
**[16:45] Murasaki**
You're okay. Breathe slowly.
**[16:50] Homura**
I'll wait. Go ahead and take care of her.
**[16:54] Murasaki**
Why do you seem so nonchalant when this
is your chance to kill both of us?
**[16:58] Homura**
Nobody'll bother to clean up dead bodies.
**[17:01] Homura**
But it's another story if you're alive.
**[17:04] Homura**
I'm keeping you guys alive as
bait for the government.
**[17:08] Murasaki**
You'll regret not killing us
while you had the chance.
**[17:11] Homura**
Hmm? What is that supposed to mean?
**[17:15] Murasaki**
Our master will come for us, no matter
what, as long as we're alive.
**[17:18] Homura**
So what?
**[17:20] Homura**
Are you saying that your master
is monstrously strong or what?
**[17:23] Haruto**
I wouldn't say "monstrous."
**[17:26] Homura**
Thought so!
**[17:31] Haruto**
Who's she?
**[17:32] Murasaki**
Homura Yabatani. "Flame Blade Homura."
**[17:35] Murasaki**
She's a ninja who comes from
the same village as us.
**[17:37] Homura**
Who the heck are you?!
**[17:39] Haruto**
Whoa!
**[17:47] Homura**
Looks like the gas is finally working on ya.
**[17:49] Haruto**
So that's how it is?
**[17:53] Homura**
Wow?!
**[17:54] Homura**
How foolish of you to throw away
your weapon during a battle!
**[17:58] Haruto**
Wrong. This isn't a battle.
**[18:01] Haruto**
This is just a squabble.
**[18:04] Haruto**
There's no need for guns or blades.
**[18:06] Haruto**
All you need is the courage
to take the first step...
**[18:09] Haruto**
and the heart to not
give up, no matter what!
**[18:13] Homura**
Idiot!
**[18:16] Haruto**
Gotcha!
**[18:19] Haruto**
You're not going anywhere.
**[18:23] Homura**
Enough already!
**[18:30] Haruto**
You're quite sturdy for your
petite size, aren't you?
**[18:33] Homura**
Let go!
**[18:34] Haruto**
Huh?
**[18:34] Homura**
Let go! Let go! Let go!
**[18:38] Homura**
Don't touch me!
**[18:42] Murasaki**
She's beyond saving.
**[18:44] Murasaki**
One of our techniques, "Overboost,"
allows us to do extraordinary things.
**[18:51] Murasaki**
But it also shortens our lifespan, too.
**[18:53] Murasaki**
She always used it when we were
kids to show it off to us.
**[19:00] Haruto**
I see.
**[19:01] Murasaki**
That is how we ninjas die in the end.
**[19:20] Vanilla**
What's this music?
**[19:22] Choco**
Bad taste!
**[19:25] Choco**
Hey! Didn't we tell you to stay put?!
**[19:27] Operator A**
I must save.
**[19:30] Operator A**
I'm the one who saves the universe.
**[19:33] Operator A**
I'm the hero!
**[19:35] Chihiro**
Do it!
**[19:40] Choco**
Wasn't he just a maintenance operator?
**[19:45] Kuroe**
Are we there yet?!
**[19:46] Kuroe**
We're in danger if we don't
get to the backup elevator
**[19:49] Kuroe**
of the service entrance
before the basement floods!
**[19:52] Ja-Ja**
Quit yelling. I'm activating it right now.
**[19:56] Ja-Ja**
Oh...
**[20:00] Khalid**
Homura, you will not die in vain.
**[20:03] Khalid**
On me!
**[20:07] Chihiro**
It's not going to break immediately.
**[20:10] Vanilla**
Why did they bomb the edge, though?
**[20:14] Chihiro**
They have multiple bombs.
**[20:17] Chihiro**
There must be multiple switches
to activate them, too.
**[20:20] Chihiro**
They must be scattered all over the
place with different triggers.
**[20:22] Choco**
So, there are other staffers like
this dude in the facility?!
**[20:35] Vanilla**
You gotta be kidding me!
**[20:36] Choco**
Err, this doesn't look good!
**[20:39] Chihiro**
They knew Thanatos
could hit the network.
**[20:42] Chihiro**
So they decided to brainwash humans
to use them as physical switches
**[20:45] Chihiro**
and placed them throughout the building.
**[20:47] Choco**
So, they jammed the signal on purpose,
**[20:48] Choco**
knowing that it'd put
them at a disadvantage?
**[20:51] Vanilla**
Their goal is to waste our time.
**[20:54] Chihiro**
That too, but... He probably...
**[21:01] Kuroe**
Three minutes until we reach the
underground service entrance.
**[21:04] Kuroe**
From there, the emergency cargo
elevator in the next building
**[21:07] Kuroe**
should take us to the escape route.
**[21:09] Enishi**
Wow, this is so much fun.
**[21:12] Ja-Ja**
Huh?
**[21:13] Enishi**
You're lucky to be able to experience
something like this, Sasaki-kun.
**[21:17] Ja-Ja**
Like I said, don't call me by my real name.
**[21:21] Chihiro**
Even if we can't stop the dam from breaking,
**[21:23] Chihiro**
we should be able to buy enough time
**[21:25] Chihiro**
for civilians and our troops
to get out of this building
**[21:27] Chihiro**
if we take care of the physical switches.
**[21:30] Choco**
Let's do it, then!
**[21:32] Vanilla**
Any time.
**[21:33] Choco**
Are you ready, boss?
**[21:36] Chihiro**
Okay, let's begin Kyosen
Sakuragaoka's mission!
**[21:42] Murasaki**
What are you going to do now, Haruto?
**[21:44] Haruto**
I'm going to go in deeper.
**[21:46] Murasaki**
I'll come along, then.
**[21:47] Haruto**
No, take care of Yuuki for me.
**[21:50] Haruto**
SORD's mission is complete.
**[21:52] Haruto**
All that's left is a pullout operation
from here on out. Cleaning up the mess.
**[21:57] Murasaki**
Oh.
**[21:59] Murasaki**
Say, Master.
**[22:01] Haruto**
"Master"?
**[22:02] Murasaki**
That's what I proclaimed in
front of Homura earlier.
**[22:06] Murasaki**
So, please let me call you that from now on.
**[22:08] Haruto**
I see. Then this is an
order from your master.
**[22:14] Haruto**
Get out of here.
**[22:17] Murasaki**
Okay, understood.
**[22:21] Kuroe**
We're going to let Sensei go first.
**[22:23] Kuroe**
Look out for the enemy
soldiers just in case.
**[22:27] Soldiers**
Roger.
**[22:33] Ja-Ja**
It's almost here.
**[22:35] Enishi**
It's here, Samejima-kun.
**[22:37] Thanatos**
*Found you!*
**[22:38] Ja-Ja**
Gah!
**[22:39] Thanatos**
* Thanks for connecting to a cable.*
* I now know your location.*
**[22:43] Thanatos**
* I'm glad you're not perfect despite being*
* the great hacker that you are,*
**[22:47] Thanatos**
*Kwang Van Kael.*
**[22:49] Thanatos**
*Or should I call you Kozue Sasaki instead?*

**[23:05] Kuroe**
Ja-Ja! Go on ahead!
Take Sensei to the upper level!
**[23:08] Kuroe**
Hurry!
**[23:08] Ja-Ja**
I'm... doing it...
**[23:12] Enishi**
S-Sasaki-kun!
**[23:14] Ja-Ja**
Don't call me... by my real name!
**[23:18] Enishi**
We'll meet...
**[23:40] Chris**
I'm Chris, man.
**[23:41] Murasaki**
I'm Murasaki.
**[23:42] Chris**
Man, the story's reachin'
its climax, ain't it?
**[23:44] Murasaki**
The next will be the last one.
It's so intense.
**[23:48] Chris**
Totally. Can't wait for it.
**[23:50] Murasaki**
By the way, you're so excited that
you're speaking with an accent, Chris.
**[23:54] Chris**
You so funny. Ain't no way... I am.
**[23:58] Murasaki**
I'm glad you realized.
**[23:59] Chris**
Sorry, I got so excited that
I said some weird things.
**[24:03] Murasaki**
I'm changing the subject,
but I was gifted a small music box.
**[24:09] Murasaki**
When am I supposed to play it?
**[24:11] Chris**
Whenever you feel like it.
**[24:13] Murasaki**
But you know, even if I turn the handle,
it'll stop after a few minutes.
**[24:18] Chris**
If it's a small one, sure.
**[24:19] Murasaki**
It's not something you can enjoy
for very long, so I don't get it.
**[24:23] Chris**
That's what's good about it.
**[24:24] Murasaki**
Huh?
**[24:24] Chris**
It slows down and the melody becomes unstable.
**[24:28] Chris**
It even stops in the middle of the song,
**[24:31] Chris**
making it the most unstable music player.
**[24:34] Murasaki**
Sure.
**[24:35] Chris**
Enjoying the fleetingness of the music
is what makes music boxes so special.
**[24:40] Chris**
Just sayin'.
**[24:41] Murasaki**
I see.
**[24:43] Gumi**
Next week, TV animation
*Grisaia: Phantom Trigger* final episode.
**[24:47] Murasaki**
Phantom Children.
**[24:48] Murasaki**
I can't miss this one,
not even if a moose chases me!
**[24:50] Chris**
Huh? Did you turn into a Russian
from being too excited?
**[24:54] Murasaki**
You funny, like you eat jokes
with vodka for breakfast!
