[00:12] Kou
    The deterioration has progressed
    this far, and still...
[00:15] Kou
    Damn, that sage is such a slave driver.
[00:20] Kou
    Just a little more...
[00:22] Kou
    You will give me back the other half
    of my body as you promised, Wiseman!
[00:29] Nagisa
    Yukina-chan?
[00:31] Yukina
    I forgot something. Go on without me.
[00:37] Yukina
    This feeling... I hope I'm
    just over thinking it...
[02:14] Kojou
    So this is the act of someone who's
    as close to perfect as you can get?
[02:22] Kojou
    Bones?
[02:23] AsaNina
    They are the sister and children
    who were devoured by Amatsuka.
[02:27] AsaNina
    I don't know that man...
[02:29] AsaNina
    But he was most likely a
    decoy to host the dummy core.
[02:33] Kojou
    "Sister"?
[02:34] Kojou
    You mean the nun who was
    running the monastery
[02:36] ---
    when the incident happened five years ago?
[02:38] AsaNina
    When I first awakened,
    my memories were still in disarray...
[02:43] AsaNina
    But I finally remember now.
[02:45] AsaNina
    About five years ago, and about Amatsuka...
[02:52] Kojou
    H-Hey, Nina...
[02:56] AsaNina
    Fragments separated from the
    control of the Wiseman...
[03:00] AsaNina
    They might not be quite enough
    to reconstruct my body, but...
[03:07] Kojou
    Nina?
[03:12] Yukina
    What was that overwhelming presence I felt?
[03:18] Yukina
    Kanase-san? Did you feel it, too?
[03:21] Kanon
    Yes. I sensed something unpleasant
    surrounding the boat.
[03:27] Yukina
    I thought so...
[03:28] Kanon
    Um... This sensation is familiar to me.
[03:32] Kanon
    I think I've felt it at some point before...
[03:35] Kou
    Are you referring...
[03:38] Kou
    to me?
[03:40] Yukina
    Amatsuka Kou?!
[03:41] Kou
    I haven't seen you in
    five years, Kanase Kanon.
[03:45] Kanon
    Now I remember.
[03:47] Kanon
    That man attacked the
    monastery five years ago.
[03:50] Kanon
    He said he needed a powerful spirit
    medium to act as an offering...
[03:54] Yukina
    An offering?!
[03:55] Yukina
    Are you saying he pursued you so
    he could use you for his alchemy?
[04:00] Kanon
    So if I'm not close to them,
    everyone will be safe.
[04:05] Yukina
    Kanase-sa—
[04:06] Yukina
    Kanon-chan!
[04:08] Kou
    Whoa, there.
[04:18] Yukina
    What do I do?
[04:20] Yukina
    Senpai... Akatsuki-senpai...
[04:37] AsaNina
    Well, I suppose this will do.
[04:39] Kojou
    You're back, Nina?
[04:41] Kojou
    But why are you using Asagi's body... And...
[04:45] Kojou
    What's up with your chest?!
[04:47] AsaNina
    There was not enough blood
    to fully reconstruct my
[04:50] ---
    original ample-breasted figure,
[04:52] AsaNina
    so I tried regenerating only one part.
[04:56] AsaNina
    What do you think?
[04:59] Natsuki
    So, you're Nina Adelard, huh?
[05:04] Kojou
    Natsuki-cha— Ow!
[05:07] Natsuki
    I heard the gist of the story
[05:08] ---
    from Kanase Kensei,
    who regained consciousness.
[05:11] Natsuki
    But why does the great alchemist of old
[05:15] Natsuki
    look like Aiba with fake breasts?
[05:18] Natsuki
    Is this what you're into, Akatsuki Kojou?
[05:20] Kojou
    No!
[05:22] Kojou
    Anyway, this isn't the time for that!
[05:24] Kojou
    Please! You have to help
    me find Amatsuka, fast!
[05:27] Kojou
    This Wiseman he's trying to
    resurrect is seriously bad news!
[05:31] Natsuki
    I have a pretty definite idea where he is.
[05:34] Natsuki
    He headed toward the ocean,
[05:37] Natsuki
    looking for the spirit medium
[05:38] ---
    he wants to use as an offering
    in the resurrection.
[05:41] Kojou
    Spirit medium? You can't mean...
[05:44] Natsuki
    The ferry that departed the
    island at 7:00 AM for Tokyo,
[05:47] Natsuki
    carrying the students attending
    the Saikai Academy training camp.
[05:50] Kojou
    He's after Kanase?
[05:52] AsaNina
    No, not necessarily.
[05:54] AsaNina
    That girl called Yukina is also a
    powerful spirit medium, is she not?
[05:59] Kojou
    Please, Natsuki-chan!
    Fly to that ferry for me!
[06:02] Kojou
    Himeragi doesn't have
    Schneesturm Wolfin with her!
[06:04] Natsuki
    I can't. It's too far.
[06:08] Natsuki
    Relax. I figured you'd ask that
    of me, so I've secured a means.
[06:13] Kojou
    Then take me there!
[06:16] Natsuki
    I hope you don't regret this.
[06:23] Kojou
    What is this? An airship?
[06:26] Folia
    It's the armored airship Veswield,
    pride of the kingdom of Aldeigia.
[06:31] Folia
    Long time no see, Kojou.
[06:34] Kojou
    La Folia! You're gonna help me?
[06:37] Folia
    I'd love to catch up with you,
    but time is of the essence.
[06:42] Folia
    I've arranged the fastest means
    of transportation in Aldeigia.
[06:47] Justina
    Allow me to show you aboard.
[06:50] Justina
    This way.
[06:52] Cat
    Wait a moment,
    Fourth Progenitor boy.
[06:56] Kojou
    Cat-sensei!
[06:57] Kojou
    And your shikigami is fixed? That was fas—
[07:05] Sayaka
    H-How long are you gonna have
    your hands on me, you groper?!
[07:08] Sayaka
    Pervert! You Pervert Progenitor!
[07:10] Kojou
    Kirasaka... You're the real one?
[07:13] Sayaka
    Something wrong with being real?!
[07:14] Cat
    Stop whining, Sayaka. He didn't hurt you.
[07:18] Cat
    You've let him suck your
    blood before, haven't you?
[07:21] Sayaka
    I-I didn't let him suck my breasts!
[07:23] Cat
    Just hurry and give that to him.
[07:26] Sayaka
    Yes, ma'am.
[07:31] Kojou
    This is...
[07:33] Cat
    Pass it along to Yukina for me.
    I'm counting on you.
[07:39] Folia
    It looks like you're all ready.
[07:41] Folia
    Then, please look at this.
[07:44] Folia
    You should be able to withstand this, Kojou.
[07:48] Folia
    This is Hrotti, the prototype aircraft
    of the Order of the Sacred Ring.
[07:58] Kou
    This game of tag is over.
[08:01] Kou
    I need an offering in order to
    resurrect Wiseman completely.
[08:06] Kou
    And it needs to be a
    powerful spirit medium.
[08:09] Kou
    Don't hold this against me.
[08:12] Kanon
    You still don't remember?
[08:14] Kou
    What?
[08:16] Kanon
    I remembered you,
[08:19] Kanon
    and the time you killed
    everyone at the monastery.
[08:22] Kanon
    I feel sorry for you.
[08:24] Kanon
    You haven't noticed that
    you're being deceived.
[08:27] Kou
    What are you talking about?!
[08:29] Kanon
    What did you hope to accomplish
    by resurrecting Wiseman?
[08:33] Kou
    That's obvious! I want to be human again!
[08:36] Kou
    I'm going to have him restore the
    half of my body that was devoured!
[08:40] Kanon
    Then please tell me.
[08:42] Kanon
    Who were you, exactly?
[08:44] Kanon
    When, and where, were you born?
[08:47] Kanon
    What kind of life have you lived?
[08:50] Kou
    I wondered what you were
    going to ask. I am—
[08:56] Kou
    I... am...
[08:59] Kanon
    Wiseman will not grant your wish.
[09:03] Kanon
    Because...
[09:04] Kou
    Shut up...
[09:05] Kanon
    You have never been human.
[09:08] Kou
    Shut up!
[09:16] Kanon
    Yukina-chan...
[09:18] Kou
    How dare you keep interrupting
    me, Sword Shaman?!
[09:22] Kou
    That knife... Is is enchanted meteoric iron?
[09:26] Kou
    That will be a bit of a nuisance,
    but you still can't beat me!
[09:32] Kou
    And you have nowhere to run.
[09:36] Kou
    Now, give up! It's over for you!
[09:43] Kou
    No!
[09:44] Kou
    A cruise missile?!
[09:47] Kou
    That can't stop me!
[09:59] Kojou
    Looks like I got here in time.
[10:03] Yukina
    Senpai!
[10:04] Kojou
    Himeragi...
[10:06] Kojou
    Ouch!
[10:07] Yukina
    What on earth are you thinking,
[10:09] Yukina
    blasting in here on a missile?!
[10:11] Kojou
    Well, it is a prototype
    aircraft, technically...
[10:14] Yukina
    Don't tell lies that I can
    see through immediately!
[10:17] Kojou
    I'm not lying!
[10:18] AsaNina
    That's enough. Kanon is
    standing there dumbfounded.
[10:25] Yukina
    Senpai, who is that?
[10:27] Kojou
    The great alchemist,
    Nina Adelard, so she says.
[10:31] Yukina
    Why does she look like Aiba-senpai?
[10:34] Yukina
    And... her chest...
[10:36] Kojou
    A lot of stuff happened.
[10:38] Kojou
    Anyway, Himeragi... here he comes.
[10:42] Kou
    Fourth Progenitor...
[10:45] Kojou
    This is from Cat-sensei and Kirasaka.
[10:49] Kou
    Bastard!
[10:52] Yukina
    Schneesturm Wolfin!
[10:57] Kojou
    Come, third Familiar,
[10:59] Kojou
    Al-Maisan Mercury!
[11:07] AsaNina
    Stop this now, Amatsuka-kun.
[11:10] AsaNina
    You've lost.
[11:11] AsaNina
    Give the remains of Wiseman to me.
[11:14] Kou
    Nina... Adelard?
[11:17] AsaNina
    You've realized it, haven't you?
[11:19] AsaNina
    You are a homunculus made by Wiseman.
[11:23] AsaNina
    He instilled the desire to
    become a perfect human in you
[11:26] AsaNina
    just so he could use you.
[11:28] Kou
    Even you are telling me such things, Master?!
[11:33] AsaNina
    It is not your body that determines
    whether or not you are human.
[11:36] AsaNina
    It's the nature of your heart.
[11:38] AsaNina
    That vampire and myself
    have lost our human bodies,
[11:43] AsaNina
    but we still struggle to
    live as humans should.
[11:47] AsaNina
    You have no reason to obey Wiseman.
[11:50] Kou
    Reason?
[11:52] Kou
    My reason... to obey...
[12:01] Skull
    Imperfect beings, you are too late.
[12:05] Kojou
    That's Wiseman?
[12:06] AsaNina
    No...
[12:08] AsaNina
    That's not him, Kojou!
[12:09] AsaNina
    If that's Wiseman, then where
    is the Wiseman's Blood?
[12:14] Yukina
    A liquid metal life form is comprised
    of large amounts of precious metal.
[12:19] Yukina
    Wiseman didn't come after this ship
    in pursuit of me or Kanon-chan...
[12:25] AsaNina
    Seawater?
[12:37] AsaNina
    Seawater?
[12:39] AsaNina
    Seawater contains trace
    amounts of precious metals.
[12:44] AsaNina
    With his magic power,
[12:45] AsaNina
    he is capable of gathering
    enough of it together.
[12:50] Wiseman
    The world shall become
    one with my perfect form!
[13:07] Kojou
    I won't let you do that!
[13:27] Yukina
    Is this... Wiseman's Blood?
[13:31] Yukina
    Nina-san...
[13:32] Yukina
    She did this to protect us...
[13:42] Yukina
    Sen... pai?
[13:52] Yukina
    No...
[13:54] Yukina
    Senpai...
[13:58] AsaNina
    For just a moment,
[14:00] AsaNina
    Kojou turned the boat into mist
    to save it from the attack.
[14:04] AsaNina
    But as a result, he was unable to escape it.
[14:09] Yukina
    But he'll be okay, right?
[14:12] Yukina
    I mean, Senpai is... immortal...
[14:15] AsaNina
    Though he bears the curse of
    immortality as the Fourth Progenitor,
[14:19] AsaNina
    if he hasn't been killed,
    he can't come back to life.
[14:23] Yukina
    Senpai... you're terrible...
[14:27] Yukina
    After you did all those
    indecent things to me...
[14:30] Yukina
    You can't just...
[14:41] Yukina
    Freezing magic... on this scale?
[14:50] Nagisa
    What an unsightly form to take
    in the face of the scrap
[14:54] ---
    steel created by those alchemists.
[14:57] Nagisa
    But you have my praise for attempting
    to protect this girl to the end.
[15:02] Nagisa
    Out of consideration for that,
    I'll lend you just a little strength.
[15:07] Nagisa
    Awaken, Sadalmelik...
[15:24] Yukina
    The Familiar that she just awakened hasn't
    acknowledged him as its master yet!
[15:48] Yukina
    Senpai... please, hurry...
[16:01] Kojou
    Looks like I made trouble for you again.
[16:04] Kojou
    Sorry, Himeragi.
[16:06] Yukina
    You couldn't help it.
[16:08] Yukina
    You really are an indecent person.
[16:11] Kanon
    That was amazing...
[16:14] Kanon
    You looked so grown-up, Yukina-chan...
[16:18] Yukina
    Kanon-chan!
[16:19] AsaNina
    You can chat about the details later.
[16:21] AsaNina
    Wiseman's rebirth is nearly complete.
[16:25] Kojou
    Don't worry.
[16:27] Kojou
    I'll end that nightmare you've
    been having for 270 years
[16:30] Kojou
    by shattering that shiny gold body of his.
[16:34] Kojou
    From now on...
[16:36] Kojou
    This is my fight!
[16:37] Yukina
    No, Senpai.
[16:39] Yukina
    This is our fight!
[16:48] Wiseman
    Foolish! You imperfect beings dare resist me?
[16:51] Kojou
    Shut up, Shiny. Get a clue already!
[16:54] Kojou
    You're the one who's far from perfect!
[16:58] Kojou
    Come, Regulus Aurum!
[17:00] Kojou
    Al-Nasl Minium!
[17:01] Kojou
    Natra Cinereus!
[17:03] Kojou
    Al-Maisan Mercury!
[17:11] Yukina
    After learning that you're just being
    used, you still intend to fight?
[17:15] Kou
    Sorry. I don't know what else I should do.
[17:20] Yukina
    Amatsuka Kou, you are no longer...
[17:23] Kou
    I'm scared that I'll cease to be me.
[17:28] Kou
    Just who am I?
[17:30] Kou
    Why was I born, and what should I do?!
[17:34] Yukina
    I believe searching for that answer
[17:38] Yukina
    is what it means to live as a human!
[17:43] Yukina
    I, Sword Shaman of the High God,
    as a priestess of the Lion, beseech thee...
[17:47] Yukina
    Dawn light of exorcism,
    spirit wolf of snowy mist...
[17:49] Kou
    I see... all I had to do was wish for it...
[17:54] Kou
    I only needed to want to be human...
[18:00] Yukina
    Grant me the divine might of thy steel,
[18:01] Yukina
    that I may smite a
    hundred evil spirits!
[18:18] Wiseman
    Imperfect beings, why do you defy me?
[18:21] Wiseman
    Why do you refuse to become
    a part of my perfect world?
[18:27] Kojou
    Yeah, I might be imperfect.
[18:29] Kojou
    So if you can't defeat me,
    that makes you worse than imperfect!
[18:33] Wiseman
    Impossible! I am perfect!
[18:37] Wiseman
    Inferiority to an imperfect being
    is a contradiction that cannot be!
[18:41] Kojou
    You might be strong,
[18:43] Kojou
    but being strong isn't the
    same as being perfect.
[18:47] Kojou
    Even if you have an indestructible body
    and can shoot beams from your mouth,
[18:51] Kojou
    what have you done with that power?
[18:53] ---
    Who acknowledged you?
[18:55] Kojou
    Why didn't you use that
    power to benefit others?!
[18:59] Kojou
    Anyone who doesn't understand
    that can't be perfect!
[19:04] Wiseman
    Be silent! Obey my perfect
    command and be silent!
[19:12] Kojou
    I, Akatsuki Kojou, successor to
    the blood of Kaleid Blood,
[19:16] Kojou
    now release your constraints.
[19:18] Kojou
    Come, eleventh Familiar,
[19:21] Kojou
    Sadalmelik Albus!
[19:34] Wiseman
    It can't be!
[19:35] Wiseman
    I'm disappearing... my perfect body is—
[19:41] Yukina
    It's melting him? No, that's not it...
[19:43] Yukina
    It's as though it's turning back time.
[19:47] Yukina
    Is this rebirth?
[19:49] Yukina
    A healing Familiar that symbolizes
    the vampire's powers of recovery?
[19:52] Yukina
    But this is...
[19:54] Yukina
    It's taking it all back.
[19:57] Yukina
    Back to before it was born...
[20:00] Yukina
    To perfect nothingness.
[20:04] Wiseman
    I understand now... This power...
    is for fighting against...
[20:14] Yukina
    Senpai!
[20:15] Kojou
    Himeragi, are you hurt?
[20:17] Yukina
    Senpai! Are you all right?
[20:20] Kojou
    Sorry. I am a little tired.
[20:23] Yukina
    Then I guess there's no choice.
[20:26] Yukina
    Just for a little while, okay?
[22:08] Nina
    You fought magnificently, Kojou.
[22:11] Nina
    You, as well, Yukina.
[22:12] ---
    Thanks to you, I am finally freed
    from my burden of 270 years.
[22:17] Kojou
    Nina? You look...
[22:19] Nina
    Pay no mind to that.
[22:21] Nina
    I gathered together all the
    remaining Wiseman's Blood,
[22:24] Nina
    but this size was the most I could manage.
[22:26] Kanon
    But this is perfect.
[22:28] Kanon
    I'll ask Minamiya-sensei if I
    can keep her in my apartment.
[22:32] Asagi
    Hey! Don't talk as though I'm a pet!
[22:35] Nagisa
    Kojou-kun?!
[22:36] Nagisa
    What are you doing here?
[22:37] Nagisa
    And what happened to that boat?!
[22:39] Nagisa
    Did it run into an iceberg?!
[22:44] Nagisa
    What is that? An airship?
[22:46] Nagisa
    It's so big!
[22:51] Kojou
    Too bad your vacation had to end
    up like this, huh, Himeragi?
[22:56] Yukina
    Yes...
[22:57] Yukina
    But I truly understand now.
[23:00] Yukina
    If I take my eyes off you for even a moment,
[23:03] Yukina
    you really will jump into
    dangerous situations
[23:07] Yukina
    and get close to women I don't know...
[23:09] Kojou
    Hey, wait a minute!
[23:11] ---
    There's something wrong with that logic!
[23:13] Yukina
    I've learned my lesson.
[23:15] Yukina
    From now on, I'll have to
    intensify my observation.
[23:19] Kojou
    Gimme a break...
SIGN    Next Time
[23:26] Yukina
    Um, Senpai?
[23:28] Yukina
    May I ask you something?
[23:30] Yukina
    If... that's "if"...
[23:32] Yukina
    ...I were to leave your side,
    what would you do?
SIGN    Empire of the Dawn I
[23:37] Yukina
    "Empire of the Dawn I."
