**[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.
**[21:48] ---**
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!
