[00:05] (Flashback) Chris
    Mom, why is your cooking so good?
[00:08] (Flashback) Chris’s mom
    Well, that's because I make each dish with
    love, thinking about the person I'm cooking for.
[00:17] (Flashback) Chris’s mom
    You'll also become a great cook yourself
    when someone special comes into your life.
[00:23] Chris
    My mother had an affair with my father,
    who was her boss at the time, and conceived me.
[00:30] Chris
    She then quit her job and moved to Japan.
[00:33] Chris
    My father flew all over the world for his
    work but came to Japan once a month to see me.
[00:38] Chris
    He was kind and an ideal father, but I
    couldn't open up to him for whatever reason.
[00:44] Chris
    That day was just another day where
    I pretended to be a good girl for my mother.
[00:50] Chris
    I was wondering how much longer
    I had to keep doing this...
[01:40] Chris
    Why did my mother let go
    of my hand back then?

[01:58] Chris
    What’s the matter?
     Did you have a bad dream?
[02:02] Taiga
    I'm not a child anymore.
[02:04] Chris
    Don't worry. You have me with you.
[02:07] Chris
    There's nothing to be afraid of.
[02:10] Chris
    I'm coming there right now.
[02:13] Chris
    That is the reason why I decided to

SIGN    AN EXPLOSION AT THE KITAOKA UNIVERSITY CAMPUS?
[03:52] Reporter
    Today at 12:30pm, there was an explosion
    at the Kitaoka University lab!
[03:58] Haruto
    Why does the news know about
    the explosion before us?
[03:58] Reporter
    Twenty-two people were killed,
    and 49 were injured.
[04:01] Ichiru
    CIRS upper management most likely
    put a lid on the information.
[04:02] Reporter
    Traffic restrictions have been imposed,
    and aerial photography is not allowed.
[04:05] Ichiru
    Probably because Taiga is at the scene.
[04:08] Haruto
    I knew it.
[04:09] Nogami
    The terrorist group behind
    the explosion at Kitaoka University is
[04:09] Reporter
    There are no new updates we
    can provide at the moment.
[04:12] Nogami
    a new religious group called "The Fatal Answer."
[04:15] Nogami
    Also known as TFA.
[04:18] Haruto
    What are they after?
[04:19] Nogami
    A virus.
[04:20] Haruto
    A virus?
[04:23] Nogami
    Several days ago, it was announced
    at an academic conference
[04:27] Nogami
    that a novel virus was discovered
    underneath a layer of this painting.
[04:30] Nogami
    The painter used a unique technique where
    he mixed his own blood into the paint.
[04:35] Nogami
    And his disciples used the same technique
    for decades to restore the painting.
[04:39] Nogami
    Which allowed multiple mutations
    of the virus to survive.

[04:44] Nogami
    Today, that virus was secretly brought to
    Kitaoka's research lab for further analysis.
[04:50] Haruto
    And a crazy cult group that’s
    after it attacked the facility.
[04:55] Chris
    Do we know if Taiga-sama is safe?!
[04:57] Nogami
    Taiga Sengoku's name isn't
    on the list of victims for now.
[05:01] Nogami
    But if they find out who she is, they'll
    take her hostage for sure.
[05:04] Chris
    We should head out to rescue her at
    once, then! Let's form a party.
[05:08] Ichiru
    It's not that simple.
[05:09] Chris
    Why not?!
[05:10] Ichiru
    Get yourself together! First we need
    to figure out what's going on.
[05:15] Nogami
    TFA attacked the research area,
[05:18] Nogami
    but the area's physical lockdown system
    was activated, and their plan fell through.
[05:23] Nogami
    But then they took over the entire east tower
    where the research area is located,
[05:27] Nogami
    and placed several nerve gas cylinders
    at multiple locations on campus.
[05:31] Nogami
    They took some students hostage and demanded
    the research area lockdown be lifted.
[05:35] Haruto
    If we're not careful this will be a disaster.
    And endanger Taiga-sama's safety, too.
[05:40] Ichiru
    The fact that Taiga is there is what's
    making everything complicated.
[05:45] Ichiru
    Who is it?
[05:48] Ichiru
    Ugh, just who we need to
    make things even worse.
[05:51] Natsuki
    I see that we're all here.
[05:53] Shiori
    Uh, who is this gentleman?
[05:56] Ichiru
    Natsuki Sengoku. Taiga's father.
[05:59] Shiori
    Huh?!
[06:00] Nogami
    Sorry, but you'll all have
    to step out of the room.
[06:04] Ichiru
    I was expecting someone from the head
    family to come and give me a warning.
[06:08] Ichiru
    But I didn't think they'd actually
    send her father to pay me a visit.
[06:11] Natsuki
    You already know, don't you?
    Stay out of this one.
[06:16] Ichiru
    Even when your own daughter is held hostage?
[06:18] Natsuki
    I don't want you involved because
    it's about my daughter.
[06:21] Natsuki
    The head Sengoku family is
    already holding a conference.
[06:24] Natsuki
    You should refrain from making any
    careless on-the-spot decisions.
[06:28] Ichiru
    I thought SORD was established to
    prevent things from getting worse?
[06:31] Natsuki
    This isn't a typical incident where the criminals
    barricade themselves in with a hostage.
[06:34] Natsuki
    If the terrorists grow impatient,
     not only will they release the gas,
[06:38] Natsuki
    but they'll also sacrifice their own lives
    to bomb the underground research lab,
[06:40] Natsuki
    and spread the virus out into the air.
[06:42] Natsuki
    Should that happen, it becomes
    the whole world's problem.
[06:46] Natsuki
    The task force committee are debating the
    use of a bunker buster and incendiary bomb,
SIGN    Top Secret Information on Kitaoka University
    Top Secret
[06:50] Natsuki
    which will not only get
    rid of the research lab,
[06:52] Natsuki
    but the entire east tower of the
    campus along with the terrorists.
[06:55] Ichiru
    What? An air strike?!
[06:57] Ichiru
    So you're planning on
    wiping out the hostages too?
[07:00] Ichiru
    What about evacuating the neighborhood?
[07:01] Natsuki
    This is what the Sengoku family came up with in
    the name of CIRS, along with the United Nations.
[07:08] Haruto
    What?! Are they serious?
[07:11] Nogami
    They must've concluded
    that pinpoint bombing
[07:15] Nogami
    around the research lab
    with a bunker buster
[07:18] Nogami
    and wiping out a wide range of the area using
    an incendiary bomb is their best bet.
[07:21] Shiori
    But that'll also kill the hostages too.
[07:23] Nogami
    It's still being debated,
    but it is highly possible
[07:25] Nogami
    that they will give that a green light.
[07:27] Haruto
    Either way, there's nothing we can do
    until the higher-ups give us permission.
[07:30] Maki
    One of us has been taken hostage,
    and we're just gonna sit around?
[07:34] Gumi
    Of course we're worried about her.
[07:37] Gumi
    However, it only takes one careless
    decision to ruin the plan,
[07:41] Gumi
    and that will endanger not only
    our comrade, but the entire country.
[07:45] Gumi
    Unlike someone who wastes ammunition
    without giving it any thought,
[07:47] Gumi
    the weight of deliberation that is required
    here is on a completely different level.
[07:52] Haruto
    Take your fight elsewhere if
    you two are going to argue.
[07:53] Maki
    You want a piece of me?!
[07:55] Maki
    You've got some nerve,
    Gumi-zo. Bring it on.
[07:58] Gumi
    Oh, I will indeed!
[07:59] Maki
    You little!
[08:00] Haruto
    I said cut it out!
[08:04] Shiori
    Are we really not going to do
    anything and just wait here?
[08:07] Tohka
    What would you do if you went?
[08:09] Shiori
    Rescue Taiga-san, of course!
[08:12] Tohka
    I think you've mistaken our
    organization for some kind
[08:14] Tohka
    of heroic group fighting for justice.
[08:15] Shiori
    Huh?
[08:16] Tohka
    It's already a complicated
    virus-related terrorist attack.
[08:19] Tohka
    And now, Taiga's involved in it.
[08:21] Tohka
    There's nothing SORD can
    do. Weren't you listening?
[08:24] Shiori
    But that doesn't sit right with me!
[08:26] Tohka
    Not just you. We all feel the same.
[08:29] Shiori
    I refuse to sit around if
    there's something I can do!
[08:32] Tohka
    What can a teacher with no training do?
[08:37] Tohka
    Listen, sensei.
[08:39] Tohka
    Those who endanger themselves while causing
    disorder are called "idiots."
[08:42] Murasaki
    Apologies, sensei. This one
    is a unique case.
[08:47] Nogami
    We don't expect you to fully understand,
    since you're not one of us.
[08:51] Nogami
    But do remember that an childish sense of
    justice only increases the number of victims.
[08:57] Haruto
    Don't worry about that part.
    Nobody's that foolish in our group.
[09:01] Nogami
    Fine.
[09:03] Nogami
    No, wait. Where did Kujirase go?
[09:06] Haruto
    Huh? That’s weird.
[09:08] Haruto
    She was with us when we left the
    principal's office, wasn't she?
[09:10] Rena
    Chris said she had to use the restroom.
[09:13] Haruto
    What?! The restroom?! She's
    taking awfully long, isn't she?
[09:17] Nogami
    How dare you! You let
    her go, didn't you?!
[09:20] Nogami
    That idiot! She's going
    to ruin everything!
[09:23] Shiori
    Could it be that Chris-san
    left to rescue Taiga-san?
[09:27] Haruto
    I bet.
[09:28] Haruto
    This is serious disobedience.
[09:31] Haruto
    If we receive an order to get rid of her,
    one of us must carry out that job.
[09:36] Shiori
    No!
[09:37] Haruto
    SORD must clean up its own mess.
    That is the custom here.
[09:40] Haruto
    That’s also what awaits you when
    causing disorder among your comrades.
[09:54] Taiga
    Right here. Keep applying firm pressure.
[09:57] Taiga
    We have to stop the bleeding...
[09:59] Taiga
    You, let me borrow that pen of yours.
[10:01] Hostage A
    H-Here...
[10:03] Taiga
    This is the best we can do for now.
[10:05] Hostage A
    Why is this happening?
[10:07] Taiga
    It's been three hours since
    we were taken captive.
[10:09] Taiga
    Out of the 28 hostages, 15 have been shot dead.
[10:13] Taiga
    Two are slightly wounded,
    and one is severely injured.
[10:16] Hostage B
    A-Are the police on their way?
[10:20] Taiga
    Police aren't superheroes.
[10:22] Taiga
    Besides, the government will not
    make concessions to terrorists.
[10:25] Taiga
    That is an international rule.
[10:26] Hostage A
    So, we're just going
    to be left here to die?
[10:28] Taiga
    You're a doctor, aren't you?
    Get it together!
[10:31] Hostage A
    Just because I'm a doctor doesn't
    mean I can't be scared!
[10:35] Terrorist A
    Hey! What are you guys mumbling over there?!
[10:38] Terrorist A
    Don'chu look at us! Face down!
[10:41] Terrorist C
    Ooh, how scawy!
[10:42] Terrorist B
    Don't think about doin'
    anything stupid, or you'll die!
[10:45] Hostage B
    They're completely out of their minds.
[10:52] Thanatos
    What you're doing is against orders.
[10:55] Thanatos
    There's no reason for me to assist you.
[10:57] Chris
    Shut it, mushroom!
[11:00] Thanatos
    M-Mush...
[11:01] Chris
    You know that I don't have time
    for this nonsense right now!
[11:05] Chris
    Are you going to help me or not?
[11:07] Thanatos
    Well, you do take good care of me.
[11:10] Thanatos
    Fine, I'll help.
[11:12] Thanatos
    Actually, I've already
    broken into the network here.
[11:15] Chris
    Then tell me if Taiga-sama
    is okay and where she is.
[11:19] Thanatos
    I've detected a signal from Taiga Sengoku's
    device that’s located in B2 of the east tower.
[11:23] Thanatos
    Several other signals detected as well.
[11:25] Thanatos
    There aren't any surveillance cameras,
    but the PC seems to be working.
[11:29] Thanatos
    It is risky, but it looks like
    I can turn on the webcam.
[11:32] Chris
    I want to see Taiga-sama,
    even if just for a moment.
[11:35] Thanatos
    Okay.
[11:42] Chris
    I saw her. Turn off the camera.
[11:44] Thanatos
    Affirmative.
[11:45] Thanatos
    I'll turn off the monitor and
    leave the mic on, just in case.
[11:49] Chris
    Roger that. Let's keep moving.
[11:59] Thanatos
    You shouldn't take too much time,
    or else Haruto might come to terminate us.
[12:04] Chris
    You're so mean.
[12:08] Chris
    An explosion?!
[12:09] Thanatos
    It's far. It must be
    near the campus entrance.
[12:12] Chris
    Did they go after the civilians outside?!

    We can't back out now, that's for sure.
[12:47] Natsuki
    I just received a message
    from headquarters
[12:50] Natsuki
    that they're going to
    do the air strike.
[12:55] Shiori
    I've had enough! I can't take it anymore!
[12:58] Shiori
    Please let go of me!
[12:59] Shiori
    We're just wasting time.
    It's not about what can I do.
[13:03] Shiori
    Chances can only be made through actions!

    Even if the bamboo spear shall break,
    my spirit remains indomitable!
[13:10] Tohka
    Listen well. A true professional stays
    put when there's nothing they can do.
[13:12] Nogami
    There you are, Haruto.
[13:14] Nogami
    You girls too, listen up.
[13:15] Nogami
    The task force committee has decided
    to do the air strike.
[13:18] Rena
    Oh, lucky us!
[13:20] Nogami
    A B-2 bomber carrying
    explosives has already departed Guam.
[13:23] Haruto
    The plan was approved?
[13:24] Nogami
    An evacuation advisory is being issued
    for the neighboring residents.
[13:28] Shiori
    No! What will happen to
    Taiga-san and Chris-san?!
[13:31] Nogami
    It's already been decided. Whatever
    you're... planning... to do...
[13:36] Nogami
    Don't tell me you're...
[13:38] Tohka
    That means if we screw up,
[13:41] Tohka
    the higher-ups are going to take
    care of it by punishing us, right?
[13:44] Rena
    We have a little over four hours until
    the B-2 reaches its target.
[13:47] Shiori
    Huh? What do you mean?
[13:49] Haruto
    If they're going to wipe everything
    out with an air strike,
[13:52] Haruto
    then it won't be a problem if we go ahead
    and proceed with our rescue mission.
[13:57] Nogami
    Don't make it sound so easy.
    What if you fail?
[14:01] Haruto
    It'll just mean a few more nameless corpses
    will be lying around, that's all.
[14:04] Nogami
    It'll leave the principal accountable.
[14:06] Nogami
    Your lives won't be enough
    to make it up to her!
[14:09] Haruto
    Oh, but I bet she'll give us the go.
[14:13] Natsuki
    That's ridiculous.
[14:14] Natsuki
    If that plan fails, Ichiru Sengoku,
    you'll be held responsible for Taiga's death!
[14:21] Ichiru
    Is that a threat?
[14:23] Ichiru
    Even if you didn't want her, you don't
    want to kill your own daughter. Do you?
[14:28] Ichiru
    I know not just the branch family,
    but even members of the head family
[14:32] Ichiru
    are opposed to Taiga, the eldest daughter,
[14:34] Ichiru
    taking over as the head of the
    Sengoku family in the future.
[14:37] Ichiru
    And if I, a member of the
    head family, rescue Taiga,
[14:40] Ichiru
    they'll have no choice but to clench a
    fist while praising my actions, saying:
[14:43] Ichiru
    "You did well," with
    a smile on their faces.
[14:47] Natsuki
    And who shall benefit from that,
    do you suppose?
[14:50] Ichiru
    I don't give a damn about who
    loses or benefits from anything.
[14:54] Ichiru
    I hate doing "good deeds."
[14:57] Ichiru
    However...
[14:58] Ichiru
    A good deed that goes too far
    is just being nosy.
[15:01] Ichiru
    And if you go even further,
    it just makes you an asshole.
[15:04] Ichiru
    And there's nothing I love more
    than being an absolute asshole!
[15:08] Ichiru
    You heard, Aoi. I want you to go out
    there and spread your good deeds.
[15:11] Haruto
    Are you sure?
[15:12] Ichiru
    I'm not forcing it on the whole team. Just take
    the ones that are willing to participate.
[15:17] Haruto
    Okay, then.
[15:18] Natsuki
    You can't be serious!
[15:19] Ichiru
    It's too late to stop those kids
    by saying, "It was only a joke."
[15:23] Ichiru
    Once they're unleashed, they will not return
    until they've mauled their enemies to death.
[15:28] Ichiru
    Those are the dogs I look after.
[15:30] Natsuki
    It looks like you don't have
    your kids under control.
[15:33] Natsuki
    When you want to stop a child who's
    serious about something,
[15:35] Natsuki
    you have to be serious too, or they
    won't listen to a word you say.
[15:38] Ichiru
    If you want to stop them,
    then you need to be serious.
[15:41] Natsuka
    I'm not stopping them.
[15:43] Natsuka
    After all, I'm a member of the head
    family, and I'm still Taiga's father.
[15:47] Rena
    Ignis and... even Omen?!
[15:50] Rena
    It's been a while since I've
    carried two guns at the same time!
[15:50] Maki
    Yamamoto-san, where are my guns?
[15:52] Izumi
    What? You're going too, Maki?
[15:54] Maki
    You bet I am! One of us
    is being held hostage!
[15:58] Gumi
    "One of us," you say?
[15:59] Maki
    Shut up.
[16:01] Izumi
    Take it. There are 200 rounds of ammunition.
[16:03] Maki
    Thanks. I appreciate your help.
[16:05] Izumi
    Don't say things like that!
    Come back here alive, you hear?!
[16:09] Maki
    Fine, okay.
[16:12] Maki
    Oh, Gumi-zo. You go ahead and stay here.
[16:16] Gumi
    Why is that?
[16:18] Maki
    'cuz this isn't an official request.
[16:20] Maki
    You care about following the rules,
    so you'll just be in the way.
[16:24] Maki
    We might end up gettin'
    fried with the terrorists.
[16:27] Maki
    I won't tease you if you stay behind.
[16:30] Gumi
    Stop trying to show off!
[16:33] Tohka
    Maki's right. You won't gain anything from coming.
    And if we fail, we're dead for sure.
[16:39] Gumi
    But you're going, aren't you, Tohka-senpai?
[16:42] Tohka
    Yes. It also surprises me how much
    I'm pissed off about this incident.
[16:48] Tohka
    Give me 417-D and all the
    ammunition you've got.
[16:50] Izumi
    And a handgun?
[16:51] Tohka
    I'll take it.
[16:52] Tohka
    Can I also have Chris's gun, too?
    I'll give it to her when we meet up.
[16:56] Izumi
    Huh? But Chris checked hers out already.
[17:00] Izumi
    Nogami-han came a little past noon and
    left the carrying permit for all of you.
[17:06] Izumi
    Chris was the first one here,
    so it did feel a bit off.
[17:10] Tohka
    After all that she said to us,
    she has a soft spot for Haruto.
[17:15] Izumi
    I would've given her more ammunition
    if I knew what was going on!
[17:18] Rena
    Let's go, Tohka.
[17:19] Rena
    Hurry up if you're riding with me!
[17:20] Tohka
    Okay.
[17:21] Gumi
    Oh, I'll take the blazer!
[17:24] Izumi
    So you decided on going with them after all?
[17:26] Gumi
    I've lost enough comrades, so I'm
    not going to sit around anymore!
[17:31] Maki
    Good grief. I guess I can let you
    sit behind me just this once.
[17:37] Izumi
    Okay, then! You girls go do your business
    and come back here when you're done!
[17:43] Rena
    I hope Chris hasn't
    pushed herself too much.
[17:45] Tohka
    There's no way she hasn't.
[17:46] Tohka
    Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone
    by herself in the first place.
[17:49] Rena
    You're right.
[17:50] Rena
    She never gives up, no matter how hard or
    reckless it may seem. That's who she is!
[17:53] Tohka
    Go faster, but not so
    fast that it could kill us.
[17:55] Rena
    Okay! Here we go, Tohka!
[17:58] Tohka
    I said not that fast, didn't I?!
[18:02] Terrorist H
    Did we receive the next order?
[18:04] Terrorist G
    Nah, I think we're waiting to see how
    they're gonna respond to the explosion from earlier.
[18:05] Chris
    Let's get right into it.
[18:06] Chris
    Thanatos-san, I was hoping you'd
    give me some advice on tactics.
[18:08] Terrorist H
    Sounds good.
[18:09] Thanatos
    So you came this far without a plan?
[18:11] Chris
    Time is the most important
    factor in this mission,
[18:14] Chris
    since that air strike is probably
    a sure thing.
[18:17] Chris
    Although I did bring a handgun and
    two magazines with me just in case.
[18:21] Thanatos
    That's all?
[18:22] Chris
    And the Semtex that I always carry around.
[18:26] Thanatos
    You carry it around with you?
[18:29] Chris
    Hup!
[18:31] Chris
    I'm just a wimp who can't do
    anything without my little partner.
[18:35] Thanatos
    Why are you talking like
    a hard-boiled protagonist?
[18:37] Chris
    I don't have enough powder
    to take care of all of them,
[18:41] Chris
    so I'll use my handgun to...
[18:43] Thanatos
    There are more than 50 armed terrorists.
[18:46] Thanatos
    You'll get hurt no matter how well
    you manage to carry out this fight.
[18:49] Chris
    If we can rescue Taiga-sama,
[18:51] Chris
    we will get rid of the factor that is
    interfering with SORD's mission.
[18:54] Chris
    I'll think about the rest later.
[18:56] Thanatos
    Okay, then. Here's my advice.
[18:59] Thanatos
    The hall that leads to the entrance of
    the room where the hostages are kept
[19:02] Thanatos
    is close to the B3 gate
    that has been sealed off.
[19:04] Thanatos
    And there are too many terrorists
    there for you to handle on your own.
[19:07] Thanatos
    So let's aim for this room instead.
[19:08] Thanatos
    It's next to the boiler room that
    leads to the ground level, and....
[19:12] Chris
    The room where the hostages are kept
    is on the other side of the wall.
[19:14] Thanatos
    Can you make it there?
[19:16] Chris
    I know where the hostages are in the room,
[19:18] Chris
    so all I have to worry about is the power
    and direction of the Semtex.
[19:21] Chris
    This is my area of expertise.
[19:24] Thanatos
    Okay, then. Give me a signal
    when you're ready.

[19:44] Terrorist A
    Hey, kid. I'm talking to you.
[19:47] Terrorist A
    Get up.
[19:48] Terrorist A
    What’s your name?

    Taiga Sengoku.
[19:51] Terrorist B
    What? "Tiger Sengoku"?
    Is that some kind of a joke?
[19:55] Terrorist C
    Let's just assume it's her.
[19:56] Terrorist A
    Yeah, that'll make it nice and easy.
[20:05] Chris
    Thanatos-san, I'm sorry. It's
    a bit early, but I'm going in!
[20:09] Thanatos
    What? But Haruto is...
[20:26] Taiga
    Kujirase! Kujirase, is that you?!
[20:29] Chris
    Thank goodness. Are you hurt?
[20:32] Taiga
    Are you okay?!
[20:33] Taiga
    You've been shot!
[20:35] Chris
    I'm fine. Never mind that...
[20:37] Chris
    Everyone, you can get out to the ground level

    We're saved!
[20:42] Hostages
    Hurry!
[20:44] Hostage A
    Can we really escape from there?
[20:47] Chris
    Trust me.
[20:48] Chris
    This device will show you
    the route to follow.
[20:51] Hostage A
    Okay. Take this and catch up to the group!
[20:54] Hostage C
    O-Okay!
[20:55] Hostage A
    Everyone else, help me make a stretcher!
[20:57] Taiga
    You have to go on the stretcher, Kujirase.
[20:59] Chris
    I'll stay behind to
    buy everyone some time.
[21:01] Taiga
    Don't be stupid! I'm
    not leaving you behind!
[21:04] Chris
    Don't worry about...
[21:05] Taiga
    Hey, Kujirase!
[21:06] Chris
    I'm sorry. I'm starting
    to lose consciousness.
[21:09] Taiga
    Hold on, I'll stop the bleeding.
[21:10] Chris
    I'll do it myself. Please get out of here.
[21:12] Hostage A
    The stretcher's ready! Get on!
[21:16] Terrorist D
    That explosion came from
    the room underneath!
[21:18] Terrorist D
    The hostages are getting away!
[21:19] Terrorist D
    Hurry! The enemy must be
    close. Be careful!
[21:23] Terrorist F
    Copy that! I'm calling for backup!
[21:25] Taiga
    Forget about the stretcher.
    Just get out of here right now!
[21:27] Hostage A
    But what about her?
[21:28] Taiga
    Don't worry, just go!
    We'll be right behind you!
[21:31] Hostage A
    O-Okay. I'll see you two over there!
[21:35] Chris
    Taiga-sama, why did you...
[21:37] Taiga
    We can't let anyone die!
[21:40] Taiga
    If you're staying here, then we
    just have to get through this as a team!
[21:43] Chris
    But...
[21:44] Taiga
    Are you able to walk over there?
[21:50] Taiga
    Let's buy ourselves some
    time to come up with a plan.
[21:59] Taiga
    You said that you'll carry
    me on your back while you can.
[22:05] Taiga
    But I won't learn anything from
    always being carried on your back.
[22:09] Taiga
    So it's my turn to carry
    you on my back now!
[22:13] Chris
    You're so scared that you're tearing up.
[22:15] Chris
    It's a little early for
    you to try and act cool.
[22:18] Taiga
    I'm not crying!
[22:23] Terrorist D
    There. I can hear the kid talking.
[22:27] Terrorist E
    So, the kid did all this?
[22:28] Terrorist E
    She may be the target that
    we're looking for.
[22:31] Terrorist D
    Don't let your guard down!
    Go around that side.
[22:41] Taiga
    I'm scared.
[22:43] Taiga
    I just learned that there's
    something scarier than dying.
[22:46] Taiga
    I didn't think shooting someone
    required so much courage.
[22:50] Taiga
    But... this is nothing for the
    women of the Sengoku family!
[22:56] Terrorist E
    Hey, I found the kid. She's holding a gun.
[22:58] Terrorist D
    Stay focused!
[22:59] Terrorist E
    She's shaking! I know
    you can't shoot me, kid!
[23:05] Terrorist E
    Damn it! She shot me!
[23:08] Terrorist D
    Stay calm, and keep your distance!
[23:10] Terrorist E
    I'll make you pay for this, stupid brat!
[23:13] Terrorist D
    Calm down! Backup is on the way, so stay put!

[23:50] Murasaki

    Mmhmm, exactly.

    Since you're curious, I present to you the

[24:07] Taiga
    It's not written anywhere!
[24:08] Murasaki
    That's too bad.
[24:10] Taiga
    Whatever. I can check it with you!
[24:13] Murasaki
    Uh, this is just my school uniform and not a
    traditional outfit, so there's nothing to...
[24:19] Murasaki
    Wow! She's flipping my skirt so
    fast to see how it is underneath,
[24:21] Murasaki
    just like how fast she read that book!
