    10/29/2095AD 12:15am Yokohoma
[00:02] ---
    Mr. Zhou.
[00:03] ---
    I've been notified that the home
    country will be sending us a warship.
[00:07] ---
    Thanks to you, we can
    launch our next operation.
[00:11] ---
    I'm honored to have been able to assist you.
[00:14] ---
    The thing is, Fortune deserted us
    and my second-in-command
[00:17] ---
    has fallen into the enemy's hands.
[00:20] ---
    Truly, that could only have
    been the worst of luck.
[00:24] ---
    Who knew that Master Lu...
[00:27] ---
    It's a colossal disgrace, but all
    the same, our country needs this soldier.
[00:38] ---
    I wonder if you could help us out?
[00:42] ---
    Ah, of course I can, my lord.
[00:45] ---
    As it turns out, Master Lu
    is scheduled to be transported
[00:49] ---
    to the foreigners' prison
    in Yokosuka tomorrow.
[00:53] ---
    Is that true?
[00:55] ---
    Yes, the timing couldn't be better.
[01:00] ---
    And in exchange, if I may put it that way...
[01:04] ---
    during tomorrow's operation,
[01:06] ---
    if you could stay away from this city...
[01:11] ---
    But of course.
[01:13] ---
    I'll see to it that Chinatown is
    spared from harm - as much as possible.
[01:18] ---
    That said, our No. 1 target, the
    Kanto Branch of the Magic Association,
[01:22] ---
    is located right near Chinatown.
[01:25] ---
    Not only that, but if we're
    going after the magicians heading to
[01:28] ---
    the Thesis Competition
    and their research data...
[01:32] ---
    Some skirmishing will be unavoidable.
[01:40] ---
    I am grateful for your consideration.
[03:13] ---
    10/29/2095AD 10:31am First High School
[03:18] ---
    Tatsuya, what time are you heading to
    the convention center tomorrow?
[03:22] ---
    I'm meeting the others there at eight.
    The competition starts at nine.
[03:27] ---
    And First High will be
    taking the stage at three.
[03:30] ---
    Hmm... You're meeting up there?
[03:32] ---
    What about the demo device?
[03:34] ---
    The Student Council hired a transport company.
[03:37] ---
    Why do you ask?
[03:39] ---
    Oh, uh, it's just...
[03:40] ---
    Listen, the guard detail for
    that demo device and stuff...
[03:43] ---
    Could you let us help out, too?
[03:46] ---
    That's fine with me.
[03:48] ---
    But why would you want
    to go to all that trouble?
[03:52] ---
    Uh, well, you see... Uh...
[03:55] ---
    After all that special training, letting
    it just go to waste would be a shame...
[04:01] ---
    I can't say that, can I?
[04:04] ---
    Oh, man!
[04:05] ---
    I even ditched school to
    train this guy's butt off!
[04:08] ---
    So wouldn't I look like an idiot
    if the incident got resolved without us?
[04:13] ---
    Oh!
[04:19] ---
    I don't know what it is you two are up to...
[04:24] ---
    but it's not like nothing's
    going to happen anymore.
[04:27] ---
    Huh? But I thought the
    incident did get resolved?
[04:30] ---
    It's not as if these incidents
    are a one-and-done thing.
[04:34] ---
    I hear that the Thesis
    Competition is targeted every year.
[04:38] ---
    I see...
[04:40] ---
    You're right.
[04:41] ---
    In that case, will you let
    me go on guard duty, too?
[04:44] ---
    Then if there's anything I
    can do, please let me know.
[04:49] ---
    All right.
[04:50] ---
    But you don't have to get
    all gung-ho about security.
[04:53] ---
    Cheering us on from the
    audience will be enough.
[04:55] ---
    Huh?
[04:55] ---
    You don't mean that, Tatsuya.
[04:57] ---
    Well, if there is some kind of incident,
[05:00] ---
    I guess no one will complain if
    the audience helps pick up the pieces.
[05:07] ---
    I see. Helps, huh?
[05:11] ---
    10/29/2095AD 11:26am National Magic University
    Affiliated Tachikawa Hospital
[05:13] ---
    Come in.
[05:15] ---
    Excuse us.
[05:16] ---
    Welcome, Ms. Ichihara.
[05:19] ---
    Ms. Asuka.
[05:21] ---
    I'd like to speak with her.
[05:23] ---
    Fine with me.
[05:26] ---
    Ms. Chiaki Hirakawa.
[05:28] ---
    Your methods will not garner Shiba's attention.
[05:34] ---
    Never mind goodwill...
[05:35] ---
    You will elicit neither enmity
    nor animosity from him, either.
[05:39] ---
    Shiba is an arrogant man.
[05:42] ---
    No matter how the multitude wails and sobs,
[05:46] ---
    most likely, Shiba will pay no mind.
[05:49] ---
    He won't take the time to sneer at you,
     never mind sympathize with you.
[05:59] ---
    Chiaki, did you know?
[06:02] ---
    In the written exam for
    the first semester finals,
[06:05] ---
    Shiba scored so high that he left
    everyone below second place in the dust.
[06:10] ---
    In particular, he achieved an astonishing
    perfect score in Magic Engineering.
[06:17] ---
    What does that have to do with anything?
[06:19] ---
    And the first year who came in second was you.
[06:22] ---
    You scored 92 out of 100.
[06:26] ---
    Normally, you could make a claim
    for top marks with such a score.
[06:30] ---
    So what if I did?
[06:32] ---
    As far as the field of Magic
    Engineering goes, Chiaki,
[06:36] ---
    I believe you have the
    potential to surpass Shiba.
[06:40] ---
    After having worked with
    him for three weeks or so,
[06:45] ---
    I noticed that Shiba doesn't
    seem very adept with hardware.
[06:51] ---
    If you can hold onto your feelings of bitterness,
[06:56] ---
    I'm sure that one day you'll find a way to accomplish it.
[07:02] ---
    Please come to the competition tomorrow.
[07:04] ---
    I'm sure you'll find it rewarding.
[07:12] ---
    Uh, Ms. Ichihara?
[07:17] ---
    If you're not feeling well...
[07:20] ---
    No, there's no need to worry.
[07:24] ---
    It's just a bit of self-loathing, that's all.
[07:28] ---
    We need to make sure that
    our school reaps the benefits
[07:32] ---
    of Chiaki's gifts as a magical engineer.
[07:38] ---
    Seriously... I'd make a fine
    con artist, wouldn't I?
[08:09] ---
    This smells divine.
[08:11] ---
    I'm glad that you like it.
[08:14] ---
    Thanks to you, it looks like
    we'll be closing this case soon.
[08:18] ---
    So this is my way of thanking you personally.
[08:22] ---
    Inspector...did you invite me here today just to thank me?
[08:27] ---
    Huh?
[08:29] ---
    If you're available, I'd like to request
    your company tomorrow as well.
[08:34] ---
    Huh? Um... S-Sure!
[08:36] ---
    If you're okay with me, then I'd be glad to!
[08:38] ---
    Thank you very much.
[08:40] ---
    Then how's eighty-thirty tomorrow
    morning, at Sakuragicho Station?
[08:44] ---
    What?
[08:45] ---
    Morning?
[08:47] ---
    Tomorrow they'll be holding the National
    High School Magic Thesis Competition
[08:50] ---
    at the International Convention
    Center...did you not know?
[08:56] ---
    No, I am aware of that, but...
[08:58] ---
    And a boy I'm acquainted with will be taking part,
[09:02] ---
    so I'd like to go cheer him on.
[09:06] ---
    Oh, right, if possible, please ask
    your subordinates to join us, too.
[09:12] ---
    If you could also come equipped
    with weapons and live ammo guns,
[09:15] ---
    that would be a huge help.
[09:17] ---
    Ms. Fujibayashi, what's the plan...?
[09:19] ---
    Of course,
[09:22] ---
    I hope that nothing happens.
[09:27] ---
    10/30/2095AD 8:30am Yokohoma International Convention Center
[09:49] ---
    I knew it...
SIGN    8:35am Yokohoma International Convention Center - First High School Meeting Room
[09:53] ---
    Miyuki, it's been a long time.
[09:55] ---
    Yes, I haven't seen you since that day in February.
[09:59] ---
    Ms. Fujibayashi, are you sure it's all right
    for you to be visiting the First High green room?
[10:03] ---
    Oh, it's fine.
[10:04] ---
    As a technical officer,
[10:06] ---
    there's nothing strange about me visiting you,
[10:09] ---
    the student who unveiled
    such dazzling skills at the NSC.
[10:13] ---
    All right, enough with the pleasantries...
[10:17] ---
    The Mobile Suit we discussed has been completed.
[10:20] ---
    Lt. Sanada told me to let you know
    that they'll be delivering it here by tonight.
[10:23] ---
    They finished it already? Impressive, as always.
[10:28] ---
    One more thing.
[10:29] ---
    That incident... It doesn't look like it's over just yet.
[10:33] ---
    Is there some kind of problem?
[10:35] ---
    Take a look at this for the details.
[10:37] ---
    I've taken some precautions myself, but...
[10:41] ---
    You never know, a battle may be brewing.
[10:45] ---
    Understood. We'll be sure to at least be prepared.
[10:49] ---
    Yes, Brother.
[10:52] ---
    If anything happens...
[10:54] ---
    I'm counting on you.
[11:00] ---
    8:45am Yokohoma International Convention Center Hall
[11:01] ---
    Very well.
[11:02] ---
    Very well.
[11:14] ---
    Huh? Erika, that guy over there...
[11:17] ---
    Do you know him, Erika?
[11:20] ---
    He's just some pick-up artist.
[11:22] ---
    8:50am Yokohoma International Convention Center Lobby
[11:28] ---
    Ms. Shiba!
[11:30] ---
    Mr. Ichijo.
[11:32] ---
    It's been a while, Ms. Shiba.
[11:35] ---
    I haven't seen you since that after-party dance.
[11:37] ---
    Yes. I'm sorry I haven't been in touch.
[11:40] ---
    Uh, no... I should be sorry...
[11:43] ---
    Are you patrolling the site?
[11:44] ---
    Y-Yes, that's right.
[11:46] ---
    I'm taking part in the Joint Security Detail.
[11:49] ---
    Knowing that you're out there keeping
    watch truly puts my mind at ease.
[11:55] ---
    I'm counting on you.
[11:56] ---
    Right! I promise I'll do my best
    to live up to your expectations!
[12:00] ---
    Good luck to you, too, Mr. Tomitsuka.
[12:03] ---
    Y-You know my name?
[12:07] ---
    Th-Thank you very much!
[12:08] ---
    Now, then, it's almost time, so we'll be going.
[12:18] ---
    I'll be looking forward to the next time.
[12:25] ---
    In a few minutes, from nine o' clock,
[12:26] ---
    we'll be holding the opening ceremony.
[12:28] ---
    8:58am Yokohoma International Convention Center Hall
[12:29] ---
    Staff members, contestants,
    please come to the main hall.
[12:34] ---
    Tatsuya!
[12:35] ---
    Is that you, Erika?
[12:37] ---
    Where's Leo?
[12:38] ---
    Would you mind not
    lumping me in with that guy?
[12:42] ---
    All I did was bestow some skills and weapons on him...
[12:45] ---
    There's nothing at all between us beyond that!
[12:49] ---
    I didn't mean for you to take it that way.
    By the way, where are the others?
[12:53] ---
    Mizuki and Miki are here.

    They're sitting up front.

    So cozy together.
SIGN    Yokohama Disturbance Part V
[13:08] ---
    10:15am Yokohoma International Convention Center Cafe
[13:11] ---
    Do you have a minute?
[13:13] ---
    Y-Yes. Have a seat.
[13:15] ---
    Thanks.
[13:20] ---
    Being stared at so intently is
    pretty embarrassing, you know.
[13:24] ---
    I'm sorry.
[13:26] ---
    No...
[13:28] ---
    Actually I'm honored that Ms. Phantom
    has such a keen interest in me.
[13:34] ---
    Who would've thought that the Electron
    Sorceress knew about the likes of me.
[13:38] ---
    I'm just as honored as you.
[13:43] ---
    So what did you want to discuss?
[13:47] ---
    I'm sure you already know
[13:49] ---
    without my going further into detail?
[13:53] ---
    I'm sorry, I'm not a prodigy like you.
[13:59] ---
    How modest you are.
[14:03] ---
    Master Kokonoe had the highest praise for you.
[14:08] ---
    May I be blunt with you?
[14:12] ---
    Don't worry, you're just
    being loyal to your mission.
[14:17] ---
    I'm just suggesting that we respect
    each other's boundaries - nothing more.
[14:23] ---
    I'm not really sure what you mean by that.
[14:26] ---
    There won't be any admonishment from above.
[14:29] ---
    Whoever's unduly curious about my cherished friends...
[14:33] ---
    That's who deserves to be admonished.
[14:49] ---
    For her to send me a warning now...
[14:52] ---
    Means that there's something about
    the relationship between Shiba
[14:55] ---
    and Kyoko Fujibayashi that has to be kept secret.
[15:00] ---
    The JDF? Or else...
[15:03] ---
    Lu Gonghu escaped?
[15:06] ---
    Sorry to be rude, but is that intel reliable?
[15:10] ---
    His transport vehicle was
    attacked on its way to Yokosuka.
[15:14] ---
    Why today, of all days?
[15:17] ---
    Fortunately, thanks to the weapons
    test scheduled for tomorrow in Hodogaya,
[15:21] ---
    we're ready to mobilize.
[15:23] ---
    I've decided to leave early
    and head over there now.
[15:27] ---
    We should be arriving at 1500 hours.
[15:30] ---
    Roger that. I'll be on the lookout myself.
[15:33] ---
    I'm counting on you, 2nd Lieutenant.
[15:36] ---
    12:00pm Yokohoma International Convention Center
    Security Headquarters
[15:36] ---
    Sekimoto and Hirakawa's sister were
    after the Thesis Competition materials.
[15:41] ---
    Today, after interrogating Sekimoto further,
[15:44] ---
    we learned that he'd been subjected to mind control.
[15:48] ---
    The organization that's using Sekimoto
    and the others to target the thesis
[15:51] ---
    might take drastic measures.
[15:55] ---
    I was told that they wanted Jumonji
    to keep a close watch on the site.
[15:59] ---
    That's the message I was given by Ms. Saegusa.
[16:03] ---
    Understood. Hattori and Kirihara,
[16:07] ---
    I want you to monitor the perimeter of the convention center.
[16:09] ---
    Understood!
[16:11] ---
    Hattori, Kirihara...
[16:12] ---
    Yes?
[16:13] ---
    Is there anything about the current
    situation that feels off to you?
[16:17] ---
    Feels off to us?
[16:20] ---
    Last week, I came here to case the joint.
[16:24] ---
    There seems to be too many
    foreigners around here now.
[16:29] ---
    You think so, too, Hattori?
[16:30] ---
    Yes.
[16:32] ---
    What about you, Kirihara?
[16:33] ---
    Yes, sir. Compared to the convention
    center, the atmosphere in the city
[16:36] ---
    seems more strangely menacing.
[16:39] ---
    Hmm... True.
[16:45] ---
    Hattori, Kirihara, I want you
    to wear bullet-proof vests.
[16:49] ---
    Understood.
[16:50] ---
    This is Jumonji of First High.
[16:52] ---
    I'm notifying the Joint Security Detail.
[16:55] ---
    Starting this afternoon, all members
    are to wear bullet-proof vests.
[16:58] ---
    Repeat...
[16:59] ---
    you are to patrol the site wearing bullet-proof vests.
[17:06] ---
    2:58pm Yokohoma International Convention Center Hall
[17:11] ---
    Mikihiko... How's it looking?
[17:16] ---
    For now, there's nothing amiss.
[17:18] ---
    What about you, Mizuki?
[17:20] ---
    I'm not seeing anything weird yet.
[17:25] ---
    First High School. Their theme is...
[17:27] ---
    Gravity Control-type Thermonuclear Reactor.
[17:30] ---
    Allotted time: 30 minutes.
[17:38] ---
    What is required to actualize nuclear power?
[17:43] ---
    The answer has already been made
    clear in the previous century.
[17:56] ---
    First, to convert the hydrogen
    serving as fuel into plasma,
[18:00] ---
    sufficient time to allow for a fusion
    reaction generating enough heat,
[18:04] ---
    and to sustain that reaction.
[18:06] ---
    As you can see, this issue
    has already been resolved
[18:10] ---
    through Release-type Magic.
[18:14] ---
    The other challenge is
[18:15] ---
    bringing these atomic nuclei into
    contact despite electrical repulsion.
[18:22] ---
    However, no effective method of
    addressing this issue has been found,
[18:26] ---
    and we have yet to actualize a
    stable nuclear fusion reaction.
[18:30] ---
    The reasons are many, but
    a case can be made that...
[18:33] ---
    all of these issues focus on the
    fact that the electric repulsive force
[18:38] ---
    within fusing range cannot be
    overcome by the energy being extracted.
[18:52] ---
    3:20pm Yokohoma Harbor
[18:58] ---
    We're in position.
[19:01] ---
    We'll be setting our plan in motion as scheduled.
[19:08] ---
    As the distance closes between them,
[19:11] ---
    the electric repulsive force increases geometrically.
[19:22] ---
    When objects possessing strong Coulomb
    forces of like charges draw closer,
[19:26] ---
    the repulsive interaction increases,
    making it impossible for them to collide.
[19:33] ---
    However...
[19:40] ---
    It is possible to reduce the electric
    repulsive force through magic.
[19:45] ---
    This year, we have succeeded in
    developing a magic sequence
[19:48] ---
    that will reduce the apparent
    Coulomb force within a restricted area
[19:52] ---
    to 1/100,000.
[19:59] ---
    Without an external impetus,
    a nuclear reaction will immediately
[20:04] ---
    come to a standstill.
[20:08] ---
    Our school's Gravity Control-type Thermonuclear Reactor
[20:11] ---
    takes advantage of this.
[20:14] ---
    Once the reaction stops, it cools the
    hydrogen gas through a Vibration-type spell
[20:19] ---
    to a level that the container can withstand.
[20:24] ---
    At this time, it allocates the heat
    it has collected to Gravity Control
[20:28] ---
    and Coulomb Control energy.
[20:31] ---
    Through Gravity Control-type
    Magic, the pistons continue to rise
[20:35] ---
    due to inertial energy...
[20:37] ---
    And the hydrogen gas,
    now cooled to optimum levels,
[20:40] ---
    is sent to a heat sink tank.
[20:44] ---
    At this time, a highly-ranked
    magician is required to
[20:47] ---
    keep this experimental device operating,
[20:50] ---
    but with improved efficiency in energy retrieval,
[20:53] ---
    and by using Release-type Magic as a substitution,
[20:55] ---
    we are confident that a
     Gravity Control-type Thermonuclear Reactor
[20:59] ---
    requiring a magician only for the
     initial activation can be actualized.
[21:15] ---
    We will now take a ten-minute break.
[21:18] ---
    Third High School's presentation will start at 15:40.
[21:19] ---
    You pulled it off, huh?
[21:22] ---
    Abandoning the challenge of
    a sustained nuclear reaction,
[21:26] ---
    and going for the actualization of an
    intermittent nuclear reaction through
[21:31] ---
    Loop Casting was an inspired idea.
[21:33] ---
    Thank you...I guess I should say?
[21:36] ---
    It's not like I was expecting you to thank me.
[21:42] ---
    Gravity Control-type Magic is
    used in Flying-type Magic as well.
[21:48] ---
    It's a conventional application of the spell.
[21:51] ---
