"JANUARY 24, 2096 - USNA EMBASSY"
[00:09] ---
Is that true, Silvie?
[00:12] ---
Yes. I've received orders
from the General Staff Office to return home.
[00:17] ---
But why?
[00:20] ---
Because I was not good enough to fulfill
my rear support role on this mission.
[00:25] ---
I'm terribly sorry, Commander!
[00:28] ---
Silvie, don't call me that! It's too stiff!
[00:32] ---
Please, call me Lina
like you have until now.
[00:35] ---
All right, Lina.
[00:37] ---
It hurts me to go back home and leave you
to your own oversleeping habits, but...
[00:43] ---
Now you're too informal!
[00:45] ---
Besides, the day before yesterday
was the only day I slept in, wasn't it?
[00:50] ---
Are you done?
[00:54] ---
Colonel!
SIGN "COLONEL VIRGINIA BALANCE" "FIRST DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF THE USNA JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF INTERNAL INSPECTION OFFICE WITHIN THE INFORMATION BUREAU"
[00:56] ---
Major Sirius, the mission assigned to you
[00:59] ---
was not suitable given your duty and your skills.
[01:03] ---
And it is my belief that failing in your mission
does not deserve laying the onus upon you.
[01:09] ---
Regardless, however,
of where the responsibility for this lies,
[01:11] ---
the fact that someone
in the position of Stars
[01:14] ---
was defeated in magical combat
is something we need to be concerned about.
[01:19] ---
After all, you are the
strongest magician in the military.
[01:23] ---
Of course, you will no doubt
want a chance to vindicate yourself.
[01:28] ---
Isn't that right, Major?
[01:30] ---
Of course, Colonel!
[01:34] ---
Resume your current mission, Major Sirius.
[01:37] ---
I will also raise our on-site support
to the highest level.
[01:42] ---
Show me the true power of Sirius.
[01:46] ---
Yes, ma'am!
[03:18] ---
"KYUCHOJI TEMPLE"
[03:18] ---
"JANUARY 29, 2096"
[03:20] ---
"JANUARY 29, 2096"
[03:26] ---
A means of directly attacking a parasite
drifting through the sea of information...
[03:52] ---
It figures that even you'd have
trouble with this.
[03:56] ---
It doesn't seem to me you have
absolutely no compatibility with it, though...
[04:01] ---
since you learned how to fire a farstrike
in the true world in three days.
[04:05] ---
In your case, you know
where you're supposed to aim,
[04:09] ---
so putting together a different attack method
instead of the farstrike would be an idea.
[04:14] ---
You think too highly of me.
[04:15] ---
I can't develop new spells
willy-nilly like that.
[04:20] ---
Is that so?
[04:22] ---
You're certainly incapable
in certain fields,
[04:24] ---
but you have extraordinary talent
in spell improvement and development.
[04:28] ---
That's right, Brother!
[04:31] ---
You can make wonderful ideas reality!
[04:33] ---
Ideas that other people
would never even think of!
[04:38] ---
Couldn't you continue your first plan
of using Program Demolition...
[04:42] ---
to directly attack while you move forward
with new spell development at the same time?
[04:48] ---
All right.
[04:50] ---
I'll try doing just that.
[04:52] ---
The magicians then went to the Dallas
National Particle Accelerator Institute
[04:55] ---
and forced the scientists there
to perform an experiment
[04:57] ---
to generate a micro black hole,
ignoring the scientists' warnings.
[04:57] ---
Brother...
[04:59] ---
"USNA ARMY SUMMONS DEMON FROM
ANOTHER DIMENSION WITH MAGIC EXPERIMENT?"
[05:00] ---
This is...
During the experiment,
[05:01] ---
a hole opened in the dimensional wall,
SIGN "USNA ARMY FAILED EXPERIMENT" "IGNORED SCIENTISTS' WARNINGS, FORCING THEM TO PERFORM AN EXPERIMENT AT THE NATIONAL PARTICLE ACCELERATOR INSTITUTE"
[05:02] ---
and it called forth
a demon from another dimension.
[05:06] ---
The magicians tried to counter
Japan's secret weapon by using the demon.
[05:09] ---
But they failed to control it,
and it possessed their bodies instead.
[05:10] ---
That's just what Shizuku told us, isn't it?
[05:13] ---
Blame for the victims falls
squarely on the military.
[05:14] ---
Yeah, though it seems
like it's been dramatized quite a bit.
[05:16] ---
"HOLDING THE MILITARY
AND MAGICIANS ACCOUNTABLE..."
[05:17] ---
The underlying cause of this scandal...
[05:19] ---
is the military's failure to
completely regulate magicians.
[05:23] ---
Magic is powerful, but nobody knows when
the supernatural ability will go out of control.
[05:28] ---
Is using it truly within national interests?
[05:31] ---
Shouldn't we be carefully rethinking
our stance on the matter?
[05:35] ---
It's skillfully sugarcoated, but...
[05:38] ---
Then...
[05:41] ---
Yes, the expulsion of magicians
is probably their true intention.
[05:51] ---
Did you see the news this morning?
[05:53] ---
Yeah. Not that I wanted to, though.
[05:56] ---
How much of it is true?
[05:58] ---
All the important bits are downright lies!
[06:00] ---
They don't tell you anything
except surface-level facts!
[06:03] ---
So, as I thought,
they're manipulating public opinion.
[06:05] ---
But those things should've all
been naturally treated as confidential.
[06:09] ---
I wouldn't think someone on the outside
could find out about them so easily.
[06:14] ---
It's the Seven Sages probably.
[06:16] ---
Seven Sages?
[06:18] ---
There's this group that calls themselves that.
Nobody knows who they are, though.
[06:23] ---
You don't know who they are?
[06:25] ---
Aren't they a USNA-based organization?
[06:28] ---
Is that possible?
[06:29] ---
It is possible!
Frustrating though it may be!
[06:32] ---
All we have is their name
which they gave us.
[06:36] ---
No matter how much we investigate,
we can't come up with anything!
[06:39] ---
The only thing we know is that they call their
officers "Sages," and there are seven of them.
[06:46] ---
Sages... That's rather on the nose, isn't it?
[06:49] ---
I'm telling you, we don't know who they are!
[06:52] ---
Hold on, Lina.
Don't get mad at my brother for it.
[06:54] ---
Wha...
[06:56] ---
These Seven Sages...
[06:58] ---
Is it possible they're linked
to the humanist movement?
[07:01] ---
I can't deny it outright, but probably not.
[07:06] ---
According to our profilers,
[07:08] ---
their mentality is transient
and delights in committing crime.
[07:12] ---
I see.
[07:13] ---
One last thing if it's all right...
[07:16] ---
What?
[07:17] ---
Did they draw the parasite
into this world on purpose?
[07:21] ---
No.
[07:23] ---
If you were serious about that,
I'd be angry, Tatsuya.
[07:26] ---
I've already passed judgment
on four of the infected.
[07:29] ---
If you're suggesting
someone did this as part of a scheme...
[07:32] ---
I could never forgive them!
[07:35] ---
"FEBRUARY 12, 2096"
[07:37] ---
We tried investigating the Seven Sages
by various means, as well,
[07:42] ---
but unfortunately,
didn't come up with any notable clues.
[07:45] ---
There hasn't been any particular manipulating
of public opinion since then, either.
[07:50] ---
We'll continue investigating
on our side, too.
[07:53] ---
If you come across any clues, contact me.
[07:56] ---
Roger that.
[07:58] ---
Thank you for coming all the way here today.
[08:01] ---
Oh, right...
[08:02] ---
Here you are! It's two days early,
but some friendly chocolate.
[08:05] ---
The obligatory kind, ma'am?
[08:06] ---
Are you unhappy with it?
[08:07] ---
Not in the slightest.
[08:11] ---
Goodnight.
[08:13] ---
"FEBRUARY 13, 2096"
[08:15] ---
Come to think of it,
I haven't seen Honoka.
[08:19] ---
She went home early.
[08:22] ---
Right.
[08:23] ---
To get ready for tomorrow, huh?
[08:25] ---
Yes, no doubt.
[08:30] ---
She's definitely the type
to put a lot of effort into things like that.
[08:34] ---
Are you happy, Brother?
[08:36] ---
It's not that. I just feel bad.
[08:40] ---
I can repay any gifts,
but I can't return what really matters.
[08:47] ---
Please, you don't need to worry
about things like that.
[08:52] ---
Honoka and I want only for you to be happy
from the bottom of our hearts.
[08:58] ---
Really?
[08:59] ---
Yes.
[09:00] ---
All you need to do
is accept that without comment.
[09:08] ---
Um...
[09:09] ---
I don't want to be a third wheel here, but...
[09:12] ---
Essentially, Honoka wasn't looking well
[09:15] ---
because she was worried
about giving you chocolate tomorrow?
[09:18] ---
You did well to notice, Lina.
[09:21] ---
I'd thought chocolate-giving
was a custom unique to Japan.
[09:25] ---
That's right.
[09:27] ---
Valentine's Day chocolate
is a famous bit of Japanese culture.
[09:32] ---
To whom will you give
your chocolate, Lina?
[09:34] ---
Even you're asking me that, Miyuki?
[09:36] ---
I didn't plan on giving chocolate to anyone.
[09:39] ---
Oh, but not even obligatory chocolate?
[09:40] ---
If I gave individual gifts,
it would cause all sorts of problems.
[09:46] ---
Really? It must be difficult being so popular.
[09:50] ---
You're amazingly popular yourself, Miyuki.
[09:53] ---
Who will you give chocolate to?
[09:55] ---
Will Tatsuya get the real thing?
[09:57] ---
What are you saying, Lina?
[09:59] ---
My brother and I are siblings.
[10:02] ---
It would be strange for me
to give him homemade chocolates.
[10:14] ---
Hey, Izumi,
what do you think she's doing?
[10:19] ---
I think she's making
chocolates, but... Kasumi...
[10:25] ---
about the chocolate our sister is using...
[10:29] ---
Yeah.
[10:30] ---
It's the 95% cocoa, 0% sugar kind...
[10:34] ---
And that bag...
[10:36] ---
It's espresso powder, isn't it?
[10:43] ---
I wonder if something bad happened to her.
[10:59] ---
Good morning, Tatsuya!
[11:02] ---
Good morning, Honoka.
[11:03] ---
Good morning.
[11:04] ---
Good morning, Miyuki!
[11:22] ---
Um, Tatsuya...
[11:25] ---
Could I maybe take up
a bit of your time?
[11:30] ---
Sure.
[11:32] ---
Then, I'll go on ahead to class, Brother.
[11:39] ---
Good luck, Honoka.
[11:47] ---
U-Um, Tatchu...
[11:54] ---
Thank you, Honoka.
[12:02] ---
Um, Tatsuya, what's...
[12:05] ---
A little something in return.
[12:07] ---
It's separate from next month,
so you can expect something then, too.
[12:11] ---
I, um... Is this... I can't...
[12:15] ---
Um, Tatsuya, may I open it?
[12:19] ---
Of course.
[12:27] ---
Tatsuya, thank you!
[12:30] ---
I'll treasure them forever!
[12:50] ---
"VISITOR ARC VI"
[12:56] ---
Yo, Tatsuya!
[13:03] ---
You look kind of exhausted,
and the day just started.
[13:05] ---
And you seem good as new
even though you just got discharged.
[13:08] ---
What can I say?
[13:10] ---
Good morning.
Leo, you're back to normal, huh?
[13:13] ---
So, this is your first day back?
[13:15] ---
I'm glad you recovered
faster than we thought.
[13:18] ---
Yep. Thanks for coming to visit
so many times.
[13:24] ---
Valentine's Day chocolate.
[13:26] ---
They're for all you guys.
[13:27] ---
Thank you.
[13:28] ---
I appreciate it.
[13:31] ---
Thank you.
[13:32] ---
I thought you were out of the hospital early.
You were after the chocolate?
[13:36] ---
Of course not!
[13:38] ---
Oh, was I right?
[13:40] ---
Good morning, Erika.
[13:42] ---
You're late today.
[13:43] ---
Morning, Tatsuya.
[13:45] ---
February 14 is awful every year.
[13:48] ---
It's because we got
so many men around in our dojo.
[13:51] ---
That really does seem like a lot of work.
[13:53] ---
It is! It's so annoying!
[13:56] ---
Valentine's Day can go
jump off a cliff for all I care!
[14:00] ---
Miki, you must have it nice.
[14:03] ---
You've got a lot of girls
among your pupils, don't you?
[14:06] ---
You get your pick of the litter
every year, don't you?
[14:08] ---
Yoshida, is that true?
[14:10] ---
That's not true!
[14:12] ---
Anyway, if I were that frivolous,
I could never do any real training!
[14:16] ---
Oh no, you don't, Miki.
[14:19] ---
What about our dojo
are you trying to say is frivolous?
[14:23] ---
Uh, wait...
[14:24] ---
I didn't mean that...
[14:27] ---
Then, what in the world did you mean?
[14:39] ---
Oh, there he is!
[14:41] ---
Subaru, over here!
[14:43] ---
Shiba!
[14:44] ---
Hey, Eimi, don't run!
[14:48] ---
Would you be so kind
as to accept this?
[14:50] ---
Satomi... You're acting more theatrical
than usual. What's this?
[14:55] ---
This is a gesture of thanks from the
Nine School Competition freshman girls' team.
[14:59] ---
How should I say? Our gratitude...
[15:01] ---
Oh, it's the whole team
but not Miyuki or Honoka.
[15:05] ---
They most likely wish to give you
something personally.
[15:08] ---
If we did anything out of place,
they'd probably get mad.
[15:11] ---
Thank you.
[15:12] ---
Not that it fully replaces them,
but this includes Shizuku's part, as well.
[15:15] ---
Make sure you call her
or text her later to say you received it.
[15:17] ---
Bye!
[15:36] ---
Oh, Tatsuya...
Is it your turn on patrol today?
[15:39] ---
Yes.
[15:40] ---
By the way, Tatsuya,
[15:42] ---
I'd like a moment of your time.
[15:44] ---
I don't mind, but first...
[15:48] ---
Shiba... Water...
[15:56] ---
Shiba, you have my thanks.
[15:59] ---
Pres... Or rather, Saegusa...
[16:02] ---
I'll be taking my leave now.
[16:06] ---
Saegusa...
[16:08] ---
What in the world happened to Hattori?
[16:11] ---
Never mind him. Here!
[16:15] ---
Is it... coffee?
[16:17] ---
No, chocolate!
[16:21] ---
Well, thank you very much.
[16:23] ---
Go ahead, try a piece.
[16:26] ---
Right now?
[16:27] ---
Yep. I want to hear what you think of it.
[16:32] ---
In that case, I have something
I'd like to talk to you about...
[16:36] ---
so could we go somewhere else?
[16:37] ---
You don't want others to hear?
[16:38] ---
Yes.
[16:43] ---
Come with me.
[16:46] ---
Did you want to discuss the parasite?
[16:49] ---
Yes.
[16:50] ---
It hasn't been appearing
in the media lately.
[16:53] ---
Has the damage subsided?
[16:56] ---
On the surface, yeah.
[16:58] ---
But the number of missing persons this year
is high compared to other years,
[17:03] ---
so we should probably interpret that
as them getting more careful with their actions.
[17:06] ---
Maybe taking one down
put them on their guard.
[17:10] ---
I would imagine.
[17:12] ---
It could be that they possess
coperception between them.
[17:16] ---
Coperception?
[17:18] ---
It's a shortened form
of common sensual perception.
[17:22] ---
It's a form of ESP observed
frequently between identical twins.
[17:25] ---
In other words,
if one sees or hears something,
[17:28] ---
the entire group
shares the experience?
[17:31] ---
Yes, but it's nothing
more than speculation.
[17:34] ---
I hate not understanding anything.
[17:37] ---
When it comes to situations
with a lot of unknowns,
[17:39] ---
all we can do is hope we stumble
onto ways to deal with them.
[17:43] ---
What's the matter?
[17:44] ---
The fact that I had no clue what the term
"common sensual perception" meant...
[17:50] ---
That won't be
on the entrance exams, will it?
[17:55] ---
ESP is treated as a separate academic field
from the magic sciences, so I don't think it will.
[18:04] ---
That about does it.
[18:06] ---
Well, I'll be on my way.
[18:50] ---
Are you all right, Brother?
[18:53] ---
It's nothing major.
[18:55] ---
I'll carry your bag for you.
[18:56] ---
That's okay.
[18:57] ---
I insist. Come on.
[19:01] ---
Fine.
[19:16] ---
What's wrong?
[19:18] ---
Never mind! It's nothing.
[19:20] ---
I see.
[19:33] ---
Brother? Do you see something?
[19:35] ---
No.
[19:42] ---
What's wrong?
[19:43] ---
Well...
[19:44] ---
I believe our surveillance
may have been noticed, ma'am.
[19:47] ---
What? That's absurd.
[19:49] ---
Sure, it's low-orbit,
but it's an observation satellite monitor.
[19:52] ---
But, ma'am, I know I saw Tatsuya Shiba's eyes
look directly to here from inside the monitor.
[19:58] ---
Fine, then. Replay the video,
starting three minutes ago.
[20:08] ---
Here.
[20:14] ---
You're overthinking it.
[20:16] ---
It's better than letting your mind wander,
[20:17] ---
but being too cautious
is another source of mistaken judgment.
[20:21] ---
Yes, ma'am!
[20:30] ---
Brother, dinner is ready.
[20:34] ---
Chocolate sauce...
[20:37] ---
and chocolate fondue...
[20:39] ---
This is how she did it?
[20:41] ---
Brother...
[20:43] ---
Please feel free to eat up.
[20:46] ---
This is the Valentine's chocolate
that I prepared...
[20:50] ---
for you and you alone.
[21:07] ---
Your face is flushed.
[21:08] ---
Oh? Why, I wonder...
[21:22] ---
You probably didn't cook off
enough of the brandy in the fondue.
[21:25] ---
Go rest for a bit on the sofa.
[21:28] ---
I'll clean up here.
[21:31] ---
Okay.
[21:38] ---
I bungled it up at the very end.
[21:46] ---
Why...
[21:48] ---
must I be his sister?
[23:00] ---
I didn't have to lie about it.
[23:03] ---
It's just obligatory chocolate.
[23:06] ---
And yet, I couldn't give it to him.
[23:11] ---
It was as though I...
[23:15] ---
This has to be some sick joke!
[23:17] ---
Me, in love with that sarcastic, sister-obsessed
philanderer? I'll never allow that!
[23:28] ---
Welcome home, Major Sirius.
[23:36] ---
Colonel!
[23:42] ---
