**[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?*

**[01:51] Chris**
Those who survived must live thinking
about why they survived.
**[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.

* That is the reason why I decided to*

**[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?!
**[12:14] Reporter**
*At 3:50pm, there was a second explosion.*

Looks like they've had enough waiting.

Excuse me...
**[12:25] Natsuki**
Hello? Yes, give me a moment...
**[12:28] Nogami**
Principal, we must take care of
Chris too. What shall we do?
***SIGN*** TWO EXPLOSIONS AT KITAOKA UNIVERSITY
**[12:40] Ichiru**
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!
**[13:06] Shiori**
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.*

Who cares? We just gotta kill 'em.
**[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?
**[19:50] Taiga**
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
**[20:40] Chris**
through that hole that
leads to the boiler room!
**[20:41] Hostages**
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!
**[23:40] Taiga**
I'm Taiga Sengoku!

Question, do ninjas wear underwear?
**[23:45] Murasaki**
"We don't wear underwear
when wearing a yukata.
**[23:47] Murasaki**
Does something like that happen with ninjas?"
**[23:50] Murasaki**
...is what you're asking, correct?
**[23:51] Taiga**
Mmhmm, exactly.
**[23:52] Murasaki**
Since you're curious, I present to you the
"Encyclopedia of Ninjas and Ninja Techniques."
**[23:56] Taiga**
So, the answer is in here...?
**[23:58] Murasaki**
You have to find out for yourself.
**[24:01] Murasaki**
Wh-What incredible speed...!
**[24:03] Murasaki**
Taiga-sama even mastered speed reading...?!
**[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!
**[24:23] Taiga**
I saw it! You're wearing a
caltrop-patterned underwear!
**[24:25] Murasaki**
Camouflage Technique!
**[24:27] Taiga**
Are you embarrassed?
**[24:28] Murasaki**
I am. I should've worn my
lucky underwear instead.
**[24:32] Taiga**
What pattern are those?
**[24:34] Murasaki**
