    "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?
