[00:00] ---
    Yokohama Yamashita Pier
[00:01] ---
    Illegal aliens are arriving ashore from
    a small cargo ship in Cargo Pier 5.
[00:06] ---
    Inspector Chiba,
    Assistant Inspector Inagaki,
[00:08] ---
    please hurry to Cargo Pier 5.
[00:11] ---
    Seriously...
[00:13] ---
    Not there again?
[00:14] ---
    This is no time to be
    complaining, Inspector!
[00:17] ---
    Yeah, but Inagaki...
[00:19] ---
    Shut your mouth and run!
[00:20] ---
    Excuse me, but I'm your boss.
[00:22] ---
    But I'm older than you.
[00:25] ---
    Oh, man...
[00:38] ---
    Freeze! We're the police.
[01:02] ---
    Inspector.
[01:03] ---
    Let's secure the ship.
[01:06] ---
    All right, gotcha.
[01:07] ---
    Okay, then, Inagaki.
    You stop the ship.
[01:10] ---
    If I do it, I might end up sinking it.
[01:13] ---
    No problem.
[01:14] ---
    The captain will take responsibility.
[01:24] ---
    Bravo.
[01:39] ---
    Yokohama Chinatown
[01:39] ---
    So we struck out, huh?
[01:52] ---
    First of all, everyone, please
    get changed and get some rest.
[01:55] ---
    I have breakfast prepared for you.
[01:58] ---
    Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your help.
[03:41] ---
    10-10-2095 / In Front of First High School Main Building
[03:52] ---
    Brother, can I talk
    to you for a second?
[03:55] ---
    Sure, no problem.
[03:57] ---
    Is it okay for you to be here?
    What about the student council?
[04:01] ---
    The new student council
    only just started up,
[04:04] ---
    so as vice chairwoman,
    you must be busy, right?
[04:07] ---
    Oh, no. Chairwoman Nakajo
    seems to have her hands full,
[04:11] ---
    but as I'm just her assistant,
[04:13] ---
    I'm actually not very busy at all.
[04:16] ---
    Our secretary, Honoka, and our treasurer,
    Mr. Isori are giving me a hand as well...
[04:22] ---
    By the way, Brother,
[04:24] ---
    what are you looking at now?
[04:27] ---
    A document on the Emerald Tablet.
[04:30] ---
    You've been perusing alchemy-related
    documents a lot lately...
[04:36] ---
    What I'm after isn't knowledge
    of the art of alchemy itself,
[04:39] ---
    but the properties and formula
    for making a Philosopher's Stone.
[04:42] ---
    You're not planning to attempt
    substance conversion, are you?
[04:47] ---
    No, I'm not.
[04:50] ---
    The Philosopher's Stone serves as a catalyst in spells
    that convert base metals into precious metals.
[04:56] ---
    Since it's a catalyst,
[04:58] ---
    rather than being
    an active ingredient itself,
[05:01] ---
    it must be a tool to activate the spell.
[05:04] ---
    It's said that the spell for converting
    base metals into precious metals
[05:07] ---
    calls for applying the effects of
    the Philosopher's Stone on the materials,
[05:11] ---
    and that will result in precious metals.
[05:13] ---
    If substance conversion
    magic can be accomplished
[05:16] ---
    without the use of any
    other magical processes,
[05:19] ---
    then it's possible that the Philosopher's
    Stone is capable of storing Magic Sequences.
[05:24] ---
    Store Magic Sequences, did you say?
[05:27] ---
    With Flying-type Magic now a reality,
[05:30] ---
    we've got sustainable nuclear fusion through
    Gravity-controlled Magic in our sights.
[05:34] ---
    But there's no point if the magician has to
    keep casting spells throughout it all.
[05:39] ---
    In that scenario, the magician is no more than
    a component of the nuclear fusion reactor.
[05:43] ---
    He would only be changing roles
    from weapon to component.
[05:48] ---
    To activate it,
    the magician is indispensable.
[05:51] ---
    But at the same time, the system
    can't be one that binds the magician.
[05:55] ---
    To achieve that, we'd need
    a way to store Magic Sequences.
[05:59] ---
    So that's why you're reading up
    on the Philosopher's Stone.
[06:04] ---
    Come to think of it, Miyuki, wasn't there
    something you wanted to talk to me about?
[06:07] ---
    Oh, that's right!
[06:08] ---
    Brother, Ms. Ichihara has
    been looking for you.
[06:11] ---
    I hear that she wants to talk to you
    about next month's Thesis Competition.
[06:17] ---
    Where?
[06:18] ---
    In the Magic Geometry prep room.
SIGN    Magic Geometry Prep Room
[06:22] ---
    You do know that the Magic Association-hosted Thesis
    Competition will be held at the end of this month?
[06:27] ---
    Well, I'm not familiar
    with the specifics...
[06:29] ---
    If the NSC can be considered
    a "warrior's" contest,
[06:33] ---
    then the Thesis Competition complements it
    as a nine-school "writers'" contest.
[06:38] ---
    I'm going to be frank with you.
[06:40] ---
    Mr. Shiba,
[06:41] ---
    will you do us the honor of participating in the Thesis
    Competition as a member of First High's team?
[06:47] ---
    You're asking... me?
[06:49] ---
    Yes, you.
[06:51] ---
    We were originally going to
    have Ms. Ichihara, Mr. Isori,
[06:54] ---
    as well as Ms. Hirakawa
    of Class 3-C compete...
[06:59] ---
    ...but Ms. Hirakawa has recently
    become indisposed, you see.
[07:03] ---
    Therefore, you have been chosen.
[07:07] ---
    Koharu Hirakawa of 3-C.
[07:10] ---
    She was the engineer for the player
    who fell during Mirage Bat.
[07:15] ---
    But why would you choose
    a first year like myself?
[07:18] ---
    Weren't the contestants chosen by
    the internal Thesis Selection Committee?
[07:25] ---
    Compiling the presentation
    materials is a team effort,
[07:27] ---
    so you're the best man for the job.
[07:30] ---
    Ms. Ichihara will go into further detail.
[07:33] ---
    Good day.
[07:41] ---
    I'm the one who
    recommended you, Shiba.
[07:44] ---
    I rejected all other
    would-be substitutes.
[07:46] ---
    But someone like myself, who never
    even submitted an application...
[07:50] ---
    To pick me out of the blue...
[07:53] ---
    surely that wouldn't sit well
    with the runners-up?
[07:57] ---
    Sekimoto wouldn't cut it!
[07:59] ---
    He's simply not suited
    for this kind of work.
[08:02] ---
    By Sekimoto, do you mean...
[08:05] ---
    Isao Sekimoto, a member of
    the Disciplinary Committee?
[08:10] ---
    Yes, well...
[08:12] ---
    He and I are too far apart
    on the direction we'd like to take this.
[08:15] ---
    In the Thesis Competition, there's one
    primary writer, and two sub-writers,
[08:20] ---
    who split the work between them
    to write up the thesis and build a presentation.
[08:23] ---
    And this time around, our
    primary writer will be Ms. Ichihara.
[08:28] ---
    In other words, the theme for
    Ms. Ichihara's report is right up my alley -
[08:32] ---
    is that what you're saying?
[08:34] ---
    The theme I have in mind is
[08:36] ---
    "the technical feasibility of a Gravity Control-type
    Magic thermonuclear fusion reactor."
[08:43] ---
    We only have three weeks left
    until the Thesis Competition.
[08:47] ---
    I have determined that the only one who can
    join the team at this point would be you, Shiba,
[08:51] ---
    as you're working on the same topic.
[08:55] ---
    And I like to think that
    I'm a good judge of character.
[09:00] ---
    Very well.
[09:02] ---
    I'll be happy to cooperate.
[09:04] ---
    All right, then, let me give you
    a rundown on the Thesis Competition.
[09:12] ---
    The Thesis Competition is a venue
    for high school students
[09:16] ---
    to showcase their research on
    Magic Theory and Magic Engineering.
[09:20] ---
    The presentations are
    entered into the Magic Index,
[09:23] ---
    where they're occasionally accessed
    by universities and corporations.
[09:27] ---
    The competition is held every year
    on the last Sunday of October.
[09:32] ---
    The venue alternates
    between Kyoto and Yokohoma.
[09:36] ---
    This year, the venue will be the Yokohama
    International Convention Center.
[09:39] ---
    We're generally free
    to go with any topic,
[09:42] ---
    but we're required to submit our final
    draft and an outline of the materials
[09:47] ---
    and sequences used in our presentation
    to the Magic Association in advance.
[09:51] ---
    The deadline is two Sundays from now.
[09:53] ---
    We'll be submitting everything to
    the Kanto Branch of the Magic Association,
[09:56] ---
    but it will be through the school.
[09:59] ---
    To allow for extra time to have
    Mr. Tsuzura go over our submission,
[10:04] ---
    we should get it all done
    by next Wednesday.
[10:10] ---
    Tatsuya...
[10:11] ---
    You've been picked for
    the Thesis Competition team?
[10:13] ---
    Yeah...
[10:14] ---
    "Yeah"?
[10:15] ---
    Tatsuya, could you be
    any more excited?
[10:18] ---
    In Tatsuya's eyes, it's just
    another day at the office, I guess.
[10:21] ---
    No, but it really is awesome!
[10:23] ---
    The winning thesis from that contest gets
    written up in Super Nature every year,
[10:28] ---
    and even if you finish below second place, it isn't rare for
    an eye-popping report to turn up in the academic journals.
[10:34] ---
    But...
[10:35] ---
    You don't have a lot of time left, do you?
[10:38] ---
    Give or take, nine days before
    we have to submit it to the school.
[10:41] ---
    No way!
[10:42] ---
    But seriously, that's so soon!
[10:45] ---
    Not really.
[10:46] ---
    If the topic Ms. Ichihara had chosen was
    something totally unfamiliar to me,
[10:50] ---
    you can bet that I'd have begged off.
[10:53] ---
    Oh, yeah? What are you
    guys gonna write about?
[10:55] ---
    The technical issues surrounding a Gravity Control-type
    Magic Sequence Thermonuclear Fusion Reactor,
[11:00] ---
    and their solutions.
[11:02] ---
    Isn't that one of the Three Great
    Puzzles of Weight-type Magic?
[11:07] ---
    Since they asked you to join, Tatsuya, I was sure
    it would be CAD programming-related thesis.
[11:13] ---
    Oh, that's what I thought.
[11:16] ---
    Well, Kei Isori is on the team, too.
[11:19] ---
    With a topic like that, I'm sure that you can come up
    with something that's a slam-dunk for victory.
[11:42] ---
    Welcome home.
[11:44] ---
    I see you're as cozy as ever.
[11:46] ---
    It's been a while since
    you've come back here...
[11:50] ---
    ...Ms. Sayuri.
[11:51] ---
    Well, yes... Uh...
[11:53] ---
    You can't beat the convenience
    of being close to the office.
[11:57] ---
    Oh, I understand.
[11:59] ---
    I'll get dinner started right away!
[12:02] ---
    What would you like tonight?
[12:05] ---
    Whatever you make
    will be fine by me.
[12:08] ---
    There's no rush, so
    go get yourself changed.
[12:10] ---
    Very well.
[12:12] ---
    If you have any requests
    as to my change of attire as well...
[12:16] ---
    Whatever your desire, Brother,
    I'll be happy to wear it!
[12:20] ---
    Hey. You're getting too carried away.
[12:29] ---
    All right, then, shall I hear
    what you have to say?
[12:33] ---
    I can see that you two still resent me.
[12:37] ---
    That's true in Miyuki's case.
[12:39] ---
    Considering our father remarried six months
    after our real mother passed away,
[12:43] ---
    who can blame her if there's still
    a sense of resentment in her heart?
[12:47] ---
    She may look mature, but she's
    just a fifteen-year-old girl, after all.
[12:51] ---
    How do you feel?
[12:53] ---
    I'm not capable of such feelings.
[12:56] ---
    So... to what do I owe this pleasure?
[13:00] ---
    All right, I'll cut to the chase.
[13:02] ---
    I want you to help out again at
    the head office, in the research lab.
[13:06] ---
    And drop out of high
    school, if possible.
[13:09] ---
    That's not possible. As long as
    Miyuki is attending First High School,
[13:13] ---
    I must attend as well, or I won't be
    able to fulfill my duties as her Guardian.
[13:18] ---
    If you hadn't gone on to high school,
[13:20] ---
    another Guardian would
    have been appointed.
[13:23] ---
    Magicians are in short
    supply in every industry.
[13:26] ---
    Even the Yotsubas wouldn't find it easy
    to find a replacement Guardian, I'm sure.
[13:31] ---
    Are you implying that there's
    no better bodyguard than you?
[13:35] ---
    If it's just Miyuki's protection we're
    talking about, then yes, indeed.
[13:41] ---
    Well, the company can't really afford to keep
    a talented staff member like you on the bench.
[13:46] ---
    I don't think I've been
    idling on the bench.
[13:49] ---
    Just the other day, you received a significant order
    for Flying Devices from the USNA navy, didn't you?
[13:56] ---
    That alone should equal 20 percent
    of your profits from last quarter.
[14:01] ---
    Then could you at least come to the head
    office and help analyze this sample?
[14:07] ---
    That's a Relic of
    the Nino Magatama, right?
[14:11] ---
    Where was this excavated?
[14:15] ---
    I see... So the SDF is involved?
[14:18] ---
    You said analyze,
[14:20] ---
    but don't tell me that you've taken on
    the task of replicating this Magatama, have you?
[14:28] ---
    Why would you be so reckless?
[14:31] ---
    Among OOParts, they're difficult
    to synthesize through modern technology...
[14:34] ---
    that's why they're called Relics.
[14:37] ---
    We received this job at
    the strong behest of the SDF.
[14:41] ---
    We can't possibly refuse.
[14:42] ---
    But even the SDF should know that
    it's virtually impossible to synthesize Relics.
[14:50] ---
    Why would they make
    such a ridiculous request?
[14:54] ---
    I'm told that the Nino Magatama has
    the ability to store Magic Sequences.
[14:59] ---
    Is that a proven fact?
[15:02] ---
    It's still just hypothetical, but we've
    produced sufficiently reliable data.
[15:07] ---
    If it's true, then the military
    can hardly ignore it.
[15:11] ---
    I can understand that.
[15:13] ---
    But considering FLT's
    current fiscal state,
[15:16] ---
    surely there's no need to risk
    taking a bullet for someone else.
[15:19] ---
    We've already rolled the dice!
[15:22] ---
    Without any hope of winning?
[15:24] ---
    We do have some hope.
[15:26] ---
    With your magic,
    we'll be able to analyze it.
[15:32] ---
    Even if we use my magic, there's
    no guarantee that it can be replicated...
[15:36] ---
    But if you insist,
[15:38] ---
    then please send the sample
    to R&D Division Three.
[15:42] ---
    Division Three, again?
[15:44] ---
    Or would you rather
    leave it with me?
[15:47] ---
    That won't be necessary!
[15:55] ---
    Miyuki?
[16:00] ---
    I'm heading out for a little while.
[16:02] ---
    I want you to lock up tight
    and wait for me here.
[16:05] ---
    Brother?
[16:09] ---
    I'm going to look out for a woman
    who lacks risk management skills.
SIGN    Yokohama Disturbance Part I
[17:00] ---
    Damn it! Cast-jamming
    doesn't work?
[17:02] ---
    I didn't expect this guy coming!
[17:54] ---
    I guess I should say
    that I lucked out.
[18:11] ---
    That's the situation, sir.
[18:13] ---
    Don't worry about the street cameras.
[18:15] ---
    We're already taking care of those.
[18:18] ---
    Thank you very much, Major.
[18:20] ---
    Still, he sure is a reckless one.
[18:24] ---
    It may not have been the heart of the city,
    but to fire a rifle within the city limits...
[18:29] ---
    I can't deny that I let my guard
    down, but his skills were terrifying.
[18:33] ---
    And he didn't use any
    magic, is that right?
[18:36] ---
    There's no question in my mind.
[18:39] ---
    At night, with just an optical scope,
[18:41] ---
    successfully sniping from
    a thousand meters away?
[18:45] ---
    Even globally, there's only
    a limited number of organizations
[18:48] ---
    that can get their hands
    on a sniper of that level.
[18:51] ---
    It might be easier than we think
    to pinpoint who the enemy is here.
[18:54] ---
    I'm counting on you, sir.
[18:59] ---
    Hang on for a second...
[19:01] ---
    A report just came in.
[19:03] ---
    The car's been found.
[19:06] ---
    We'll deal with this after we've
    investigated. Is that all right?
[19:10] ---
    Sorry to trouble you, sir.
[19:20] ---
    That apron...
[19:22] ---
    Oh, so you noticed!
[19:27] ---
    Mizuki said she was
    going to buy a new apron,
[19:29] ---
    so I bought one along with her...
[19:32] ---
    Um... Does it look funny?
[19:38] ---
    You look very lovely in it.
[19:40] ---
    So much that I want to secretly
    display you in a glass case just for me.
[19:45] ---
    Brother...
[19:46] ---
    I think that sounds a bit bizarre.
[19:53] ---
    By the way, what did that
    woman want with you?
[19:57] ---
    "Help out with my work"...
    that was par for the course.
[20:00] ---
    But this time,
    the job looks interesting.
[20:04] ---
    Are you going to take it on?
[20:07] ---
    It being what it is, I can't ignore it.
[20:10] ---
    And I do have
    the sample in my keeping.
[20:12] ---
    Is this the sample?
[20:14] ---
    The one that might have
    the ability to store Magic Sequences?
[20:18] ---
    Yes.
[20:19] ---
    It's a Relic of the Nino
    Magatama class.
[20:23] ---
    Why would that
    woman have such a...
[20:25] ---
    It was a request from the military.
[20:26] ---
    They've been asked to replicate it.
[20:29] ---
    But that's preposterous...
[20:30] ---
    I'm sure that even the military
    knows that it's preposterous.
[20:34] ---
    But if a Relic really does have
    the ability to store Magic Sequences,
[20:39] ---
    it's worth it to take up
    the challenge, preposterous as it is.
[20:42] ---
    Meaning...?
[20:44] ---
    With this system in place, we can deploy
    magic weapons to troops with no magicians.
[20:51] ---
    If we can replicate Relics, then
    a massive deployment of magic weapons
[20:54] ---
    that can activate powerful
    spells would also become possible...
[20:58] ---
    No way...
[21:00] ---
    I have no interest in
    using Relics as weapons.
[21:04] ---
    Just because they can store Magic Sequences
    doesn't mean that they can replace magicians.
[21:08] ---
    But the ability to store Magic Sequences is
    indispensable for activating spells mechanically.
[21:15] ---
    If it's true that it can
    store Magic Sequences,
[21:18] ---
    then I want to unravel
    the secrets of this system.
[21:22] ---
    I'm sure that you're
    up to the task, Brother...
[21:30] ---
    Tell me what's going on.
[21:32] ---
    We've successfully infiltrated
    the Yokohama Magicians' Association.
[21:36] ---
    We'll be carrying on with our task.
[21:39] ---
    We've succeeded in securing
    an on-site collaborator.
[21:41] ---
    We'll be taking action soon.
[21:44] ---
    As for the attempt to steal
    the Relic... Looks like it failed.

    Were you able to confirm the Relic's
    ability to store Magic Sequences?
[21:52] ---
    No, that's not something we can
    determine without the actual object.
[21:56] ---
    If it really is capable of
    storing Magic Sequences,
[22:00] ---
    and we find a way
    to get our hands on it,
[22:02] ---
    the Great Asian Alliance's magic
    combat power will skyrocket...
[22:09] ---
    Make sure you get that
    Relic, no matter what!
