**[00:03] (Flashback) Yuuma**
Where's Mother?
**[00:05] (Flashback) Woman**
She is within the prison barrier.
**[00:08] (Flashback) Yuuma**
Prison barrier? What's that?
**[00:11] (Flashback) Woman**
A prison in a demon
district in the far east.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Woman**
A place of eternal exile sealed within
a realm separate from our own...
**[00:20] (Flashback) Woman**
Aya-sama created you as a
trump card to help her
**[00:25] (Flashback) ---**
escape from that prison.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Woman**
You are the Blue Witch,
protected by the Blue Knight.
**[00:36] Yuuma**
*But*
**[00:37] ---**
* what will happen to me once*
* I fulfill that purpose?*
**[00:43] Yuuma**
*Do I have a reason to live,*
**[00:46] Yuuma**
*other than the program assigned to me?*
**[02:24] YuuJou**
I cut my hair that day
**[02:26] YuuJou**
because I wanted to be like you...
**[02:29] YuuJou**
I never thought I would actually become you.
**[02:32] KoMa**
Yuuma! Give me back my body!
**[02:36] YuuJou**
I will, very soon.
**[02:38] YuuJou**
But could you wait just a bit longer?
**[02:41] YuuJou**
I think I'll find it soon...
**[02:44] KoMa**
Look, Yuuma...
**[02:45] Vatler**
Hey, Kojou.
**[02:47] Vatler**
You're looking rather adorable these days.
**[02:50] KoMa**
Vatler! Why are you here?!
**[02:54] Vatler**
I'm waiting for the prison
barrier to be opened.
**[02:59] KoMa**
Prison... barrier?
**[03:02] Yukina**
She borrowed your body because she
**[03:05] ---**
needed immense magical
power to break the barrier!
**[03:09] Vatler**
Isn't it exciting?
**[03:11] Vatler**
Vicious magic criminals who have
been sealed away in another realm
**[03:15] Vatler**
will all be set free at once.
**[03:16] KoMa**
What?!
**[03:18] Vatler**
But relax, Kojou.
**[03:21] Vatler**
I'll take responsibility and
eliminate them, of course.
**[03:26] KoMa**
Idiot! You expect me to relax?!
**[03:29] Yukina**
Senpai!
**[03:31] KoMa**
Himeragi!
**[03:35] Red**
Have a look, Onee-sama.
**[03:38] Red**
She would make such a lovely corpse.
**[03:41] Black**
You're right, Octavia.
**[03:44] Black**
Let's rip off her arms and legs.
**[03:53] KoMa**
La Folia!
**[03:54] Yukina**
Sayaka-san!
**[03:56] Sayaka**
We came to help you, Akatsuki Kojou.
**[03:59] Sayaka**
You really are a handful, you know.
**[04:01] Sayaka**
Without me around, you cause
nothing but trouble for Yukina...
**[04:06] Sayaka**
Um... who are you?
**[04:09] Yukina**
Uh... that girl is
Akatsuki-senpai right now.
**[04:13] Yukina**
Some things happened, and he's a girl now.
**[04:17] Sayaka**
Wh—
**[04:18] Sayaka**
What the hell?!
**[04:20] KoMa**
Yeah, that about covers it.
**[04:22] Folia**
This is quite a problem, Sayaka.
**[04:25] Folia**
I can't produce an heir with him like this.
**[04:27] Sayaka**
How can you say that so casually?!
**[04:37] Yaze**
They got us.
**[04:46] KoMa**
That's the prison barrier?
**[04:48] Kensei**
It hasn't fully materialized yet.
**[04:52] KoMa**
Kanase Kensei?!
**[04:53] Folia**
I requested his temporary release.
**[04:57] Folia**
Under the present circumstances,
he is essential.
**[05:00] Sayaka**
It was his magic that
allowed us to warp here.
**[05:05] KoMa**
So the seal on the barrier hasn't been broken?
**[05:07] Kensei**
No, at the moment,
**[05:10] Kensei**
this might be likened to viewing ruins
**[05:11] ---**
on the sea floor from above the surface.
**[05:14] Kensei**
A greater power is needed to
bring it above the waters.
**[05:18] Red**
Oh, no! Number 539 is...
**[05:21] YuuJou**
I have no further need for this.
**[05:24] YuuJou**
Sorry, but I'll be going in.
**[05:26] KoMa**
Yuuma...
**[05:27] KoMa**
Wait!
**[05:28] KoMa**
Damn!
**[05:30] Folia**
Kensei, can we follow her?
**[05:32] Kensei**
Unfortunately, no.
**[05:33] Kensei**
However, it is possible to open
a gate near the prison barrier.
**[05:38] Folia**
Do it, then. Kojou!
**[05:40] Folia**
You and Yukina should go.
**[05:43] Folia**
We'll take care of the witches.
**[05:45] Red**
Take care of us, you say?
**[05:51] Folia**
Against a witch who's obtained the
Fourth Progenitor's magical power,
**[05:54] Folia**
only Yukina's spear
**[05:56] Folia**
and you, Kojou, the real Fourth
Progenitor, stand a chance.
**[06:01] KoMa**
Got it. Thanks.
**[06:06] KoMa**
Let's go, Himeragi!
**[06:07] Yukina**
Yes!
**[06:10] Yukina**
We're going, Sayaka.
**[06:12] Sayaka**
Okay!
**[06:19] YuuJou**
Le Bleu...
**[06:23] KoMa**
Yuuma!
**[06:26] YuuJou**
Here already?
**[06:27] YuuJou**
You're fortunate to have
such good friends, Kojou.
**[06:30] KoMa**
Don't talk like you have
nothing to do with that!
**[06:33] KoMa**
You're one of my friends, aren't you?!
**[06:36] YuuJou**
I'm glad to hear that.
**[06:38] YuuJou**
You still think of me as a friend?
**[06:41] KoMa**
I'm used to seeing witches.
**[06:43] KoMa**
That makes no difference to me!
**[06:45] YuuJou**
Even if I'm a tool born for
the sole purpose of breaking
**[06:50] ---**
the prison barrier?
**[06:52] KoMa**
What?
**[06:54] YuuJou**
I was a test tube baby forced
to grow at an accelerated rate.
**[06:58] YuuJou**
Becoming a witch and breaking
the prison barrier
**[07:02] YuuJou**
were both programmed into me by my mother.
**[07:06] KoMa**
Was meeting me part of
your mother's plan, too?
**[07:11] YuuJou**
No, Kojou.
**[07:13] YuuJou**
That alone was my choice.
**[07:16] YuuJou**
There is nothing that I can call my own,
**[07:19] YuuJou**
except the fact that I met you.
**[07:22] YuuJou**
Didn't I tell you?
**[07:23] YuuJou**
You're all I have.
**[07:27] YuuJou**
In truth, the original plan was to sacrifice
**[07:30] YuuJou**
100,000 citizens of Itogami Island to
break the seal on the prison barrier.
**[07:35] YuuJou**
But when they found out you had acquired
the powers of the Fourth Progenitor,
**[07:40] YuuJou**
the Library changed the plan.
**[07:42] YuuJou**
Thanks to you, no one has to die.
**[07:46] YuuJou**
Thank you, Kojou.
**[07:56] KoMa**
That's...
**[07:59] KoMa**
Regulus Aurum!
**[08:00] Yukina**
It can't be!
**[08:02] YuuJou**
I haven't stolen your authority over it.
**[08:05] YuuJou**
I've only distorted
**[08:06] ---**
space-time to call forth a Familiar
that you used in the past.
**[08:10] YuuJou**
Only for this one moment.
**[08:20] KoMa**
Yuuma!
**[08:22] YuuJou**
Even Le Bleu couldn't control it?
**[08:25] YuuJou**
But it looks like the
sacrifice was worth it.
**[08:52] YuuJou**
So even if the barrier is lost,
**[08:55] YuuJou**
the prison won't be set free?
**[09:05] YuuJou**
Still...
**[09:07] YuuJou**
This is where you were, after all...
**[09:11] KoMa**
No way... Why are you...
**[09:16] YuuJou**
It's an honor to meet you,
**[09:18] YuuJou**
key to the prison barrier...
**[09:22] YuuJou**
Witch of the Void.
**[09:32] Sayaka**
Damn it! They won't go down!
**[09:42] Folia**
This will never end at this rate.
**[09:45] Folia**
With the defensive magic they're using,
we can't take them all out at once.
**[09:50] Red**
Have a look at this, Onee-sama!
**[09:52] Black**
It seems they were all talk.
**[09:56] Black**
Now, shall we make sacrifices out of them?
**[10:00] Red**
Yes, Onee-sama.
**[10:02] Red**
We'll drive the branches of our
guardian up from that exquisite hole,
**[10:06] Red**
tear them apart, mix their organs together,
**[10:09] Red**
and turn them into a lovely wad of meat!
**[10:16] YuuJou**
The witch of the void, Minamiya Natsuki,
**[10:19] YuuJou**
is the jailer, the door, and the key
**[10:23] ---**
to the prison barrier.
**[10:25] KoMa**
Natsuki-chan?
**[10:27] YuuJou**
"Prison barrier" itself is the name of
**[10:29] ---**
the magical technique used
to seal magic criminals.
**[10:34] YuuJou**
She is the only one who can use it.
**[10:37] YuuJou**
She has been here all this time,
**[10:40] YuuJou**
sleeping in here alone for ten years.
**[10:44] KoMa**
That can't be right!
**[10:46] KoMa**
Natsuki-chan has been working
as a teacher at our school!
**[10:49] YuuJou**
The Minamiya Natsuki you know is an
illusion produced by her own magic...
**[10:55] YuuJou**
A mere dream of a sad little girl.
**[11:01] YuuJou**
If she is killed, those held within
the prison barrier will be set free.
**[11:06] YuuJou**
Including the mother I've never met...
**[11:10] KoMa**
Once you free her, what then?
**[11:13] KoMa**
If that's the only reason you were born,
**[11:15] KoMa**
what happens when you complete your mission?
**[11:19] YuuJou**
Kojou...
**[11:22] Kojou**
Will your mother praise you?
You know she won't!
**[11:26] Kojou**
She'll discard you like that book you
were using, and that'll be it, Yuuma!
**[11:30] Yuuma**
I know that.
**[11:33] Yuuma**
I know better than anyone that there's
no meaning in what I'm doing.
**[11:37] Kojou**
Then...
**[11:38] Yuuma**
But I can't defy what's
been programmed into me!
**[11:42] Yuuma**
If I acknowledge that it's meaningless,
**[11:45] Yuuma**
then the fact that I was
born into this world...
**[11:48] Yuuma**
Everything about me will be meaningless!
**[11:50] Kojou**
You're wrong! You said it yourself!
**[11:52] Kojou**
You've got me!
**[11:55] Kojou**
I acknowledge the meaning in your existence!
**[11:58] Kojou**
So you don't have to follow
some stupid program!
**[12:05] Yuuma**
You've always been the kind of guy
**[12:07] ---**
who could say things like
that so easily, Kojou.
**[12:11] Yuuma**
Thank you.
**[12:13] Yuuma**
That's enough for me.
**[12:18] KoMa**
Yuuma!
**[12:39] Folia**
Branches of their guardian...
**[12:41] Folia**
That means it's not a mollusk,
**[12:44] Folia**
but a plant...
**[12:47] Folia**
Sayaka.
**[12:48] Folia**
The Meyer Sisters once caused an incident
**[12:51] Folia**
in which a huge forest was
destroyed overnight, correct?
**[12:55] Sayaka**
The Ashdown Tragedy?
**[12:58] Folia**
If we assume
**[13:00] Folia**
this guardian is a demon monster created
from all the trees in that forest,
**[13:08] Folia**
then its overwhelming mass makes sense.
**[13:11] Sayaka**
You're saying...
**[13:14] Sayaka**
No matter how many we
cut down, it's useless.
**[13:19] Red**
Looks like the little girls
have given up, Onee-sama.
**[13:23] Black**
How foolish.
**[13:27] Folia**
Laughing too much will
make your wrinkles show,
**[13:30] Folia**
old ladies.
**[13:31] ---**
Wha—
**[13:32] Folia**
That was a far less interesting
setup than I thought.
**[13:35] Sayaka**
Yes. Knowing their true nature
gives us innumerable options.
**[13:39] Black**
What?!
**[13:41] Folia**
Now then, I'll launch the first attack.
**[13:44] Sayaka**
And I'll finish them off.
**[13:48] Folia**
Daughter of the gods,
that is within me...
**[13:52] Folia**
Destroyer of the shield, hail and storm,
**[13:55] Folia**
bringer of victory and
deliverer of death!
**[14:01] Red**
The light of the spirit's divine protection?
**[14:04] Red**
It can't be... the false holy sword?!
**[14:10] Sayaka**
I, War Dancer of the High God, as a dancer
of the Lion, beseech thee...
**[14:14] Sayaka**
Enku of the Aurora,
Qilin of radiant light,
**[14:17] Sayaka**
thou who doth rule thunder
and the heavens,
**[14:19] Sayaka**
come clad in raging fire
**[14:22] Sayaka**
to pierce Hell's monstrous demons!
**[14:31] Black**
What is going on?!
**[14:33] Black**
They're placing a horrid
curse on our forest!
**[14:36] Red**
Our forest...
**[14:37] Red**
Our Ashdown guardian is...
**[14:49] Yukina**
I am the Fourth Progenitor's observer,
sent by the Lion King Organization.
**[14:53] Yukina**
I'll be taking back Akatsuki-senpai's body.
**[14:57] YuuJou**
Is that spear a Schneewalzer?
**[15:00] YuuJou**
If you attacked my real body with that,
**[15:03] YuuJou**
you could easily finish this, but you won't.
**[15:06] YuuJou**
Because you've been deceived by Kojou, too?
**[15:08] Yukina**
N-No!
**[15:10] Yukina**
I just determined that this is the best
course of action under the circumstances!
**[15:15] Yukina**
Plus...
**[15:23] Yukina**
There's not that great a
difference in difficulty.
**[15:27] YuuJou**
You're definitely a Sword Shaman
of the Lion King Organization.
**[15:30] YuuJou**
But...
**[15:34] YuuJou**
There's no need to put up a
naïvely honest fight with you.
**[15:54] Yukina**
Senpai!
**[15:57] KoMa**
Sorry, Yuuma.
**[15:59] KoMa**
I clearly remember the face you make
when you try for a three-point shot.
**[16:06] YuuJou**
Kojou...
**[16:08] KoMa**
Yuuma?
**[16:12] KoMa**
What's going on?
**[16:13] Yukina**
Yuuma-san's body is reaching its limit!
**[16:17] Yukina**
Yuuma-san! Stop this now!
**[16:20] YuuJou**
It doesn't matter.
**[16:21] YuuJou**
My mission is nearly complete.
**[16:25] YuuJou**
I'll finally be free!
**[16:29] Yukina**
Then... you leave me no choice.
**[16:33] Yukina**
I, Sword Shaman of the High God, as a
priestess of the Lion, beseech thee...
**[16:37] Yukina**
Dawn light of exorcism,
spirit wolf of snowy mist,
**[16:40] Yukina**
grant me the divine might of thy steel,
**[16:42] Yukina**
that I may smite a
hundred evil spirits!
**[16:55] KoMa**
Himeragi!
**[16:58] YuuJou**
You are a kind girl.
**[17:01] YuuJou**
That's a demon-slaying spear that
can kill even a Progenitor.
**[17:04] YuuJou**
You don't know if Kojou can
come back to life after that.
**[17:08] YuuJou**
That's why you couldn't pierce his body.
**[17:15] YuuJou**
It'll be the same, no matter
how many times you try.
**[17:17] YuuJou**
You realize that, don't you?
**[17:25] KoMa**
Yuuma, I'm going to defeat you
and return to my own body.
**[17:32] KoMa**
In this body, I can't drink
Himeragi's blood like I always do.
**[17:38] Kojou**
Let's go, Yuuma.
**[17:40] Kojou**
From this point on,
**[17:42] Kojou**
this is my fight!
**[17:49] KoMa**
Didn't I tell you that I know you?!
**[17:53] YuuJou**
Le Bleu!
**[17:57] KoMa**
It didn't work?!
**[17:57] Yukina**
No, Senpai.
**[18:01] Yukina**
We've won!
**[18:26] Kojou**
Ow...
**[18:31] Yukina**
Welcome back, Senpai.
**[18:35] Red**
How vexing...
**[18:37] Black**
The two of us, defeated by such fools...
**[18:43] Folia**
Yes. See you at the airport.
**[18:45] Folia**
I was able to contact the knights.
**[18:48] Folia**
I'll leave this country in about 15 minutes.
**[18:51] Sayaka**
What? So suddenly?
**[18:53] Folia**
Once I leave,
**[18:55] Folia**
as my guard, you'll be free.
**[18:58] Folia**
You can enjoy the festival,
or go help a certain someone.
**[19:05] Sayaka**
I appreciate it, Princess.
**[19:09] Kojou**
You missed my heart?
**[19:12] Yukin**
Yes. This won't be a fatal
wound for a vampire.
**[19:17] Kojou**
But it hurts so much, I wanna die...
**[19:20] Yukina**
I know, I know.
**[19:21] Yukina**
Just put up with it for now.
**[19:24] Kojou**
Um, listen, Himeragi-san...
**[19:27] Kojou**
Your blood...
**[19:28] Yukina**
I'm not giving you any!
**[19:31] Yukina**
And did you have to say something that
sounded like you drink it all the time?
**[19:34] Kojou**
I just meant, I can recover
if I have your blood,
**[19:39] Kojou**
so you could stab me to
your heart's content.
**[19:42] Yukina**
Regardless, please don't say things
**[19:44] ---**
like that around other people ever again!
**[19:47] Yukina**
Not to Yuuma-san or anyone else!
**[19:49] Kojou**
Oh, right! Where's Yuuma?
**[19:53] Kojou**
Yuuma!
**[19:55] Kojou**
Yuuma, are you okay?
**[19:58] Yuuma**
I... failed?
**[20:03] Kojou**
No. You've been released.
**[20:08] Yuuma**
Released?
**[20:10] Kojou**
Yeah.
**[20:13] Yuuma**
Oh...
**[20:17] Yuuma**
I'm... free...
**[20:21] Natsuki**
Case closed, I see.
**[20:23] Kojou**
Natsuki-chan! You're awake?
**[20:26] Natsuki**
I was preserving my strength,
**[20:29] Natsuki**
but I took a direct hit from your Familiar.
**[20:32] Natsuki**
Even I couldn't get through that unscathed.
**[20:34] Kojou**
But that wasn't m—
**[20:36] Kojou**
Ow! That hurt!
**[20:40] Natsuki**
What are you going to do,
daughter of Tokoyogi Aya?
**[20:43] Natsuki**
You wish to continue?
**[20:45] Yuuma**
No, I'll stop.
**[20:47] Yuuma**
I have
**[20:49] Yuuma**
no reason to do anything with
the prison barrier anymore.
**[22:31] Kojou**
Well, ready to go back?
**[22:33] Yuuma**
Yeah. You have to show
me around the festiva—
**[22:37] Kojou**
Yuuma!
**[22:39] Yuuma**
Mother...
**[22:41] Yuuma**
You would go this far?
**[22:44] Bleu**
I have waited for this moment...
**[22:47] Blue**
For you, such an alert girl,
**[22:49] Blue**
to let your guard down.
**[22:54] Natsuki**
Using your own daughter as a decoy...
**[22:58] Natsuki**
You... brute...
**[23:02] Kojou**
Natsuki-chan...
**[23:05] Natsuki**
Idiot...
**[23:07] Natsuki**
Don't address your teacher... with "chan"...
**[23:10] Kojou**
Natsuki-chan!
***SIGN*** Next Time
**[23:26] Yuuma**
Y-You're Senpai's mother?
**[23:28] Yukina**
Pleased to meet you.
**[23:29] Yukina**
What? A psychometrician whose powers are
activated by fondling breasts?!
**[23:32] Yukina**
Like mother, like son, indeed...
***SIGN*** Fiesta for the Observers I
**[23:36] Yukina**
"Fiesta for the Observers I."
