**[00:11] ---**
That's...
**[00:22] ---**
How interesting.
**[00:24] ---**
Grandfather?
**[00:26] ---**
That last psychokinetic blast
came from the 3H, didn't it?
**[00:31] ---**
I've never heard of anyone developing
robots that could use psychic powers.
**[00:37] ---**
Neither have I... I don't believe
it's possible for current technology.
**[00:43] ---**
I shouldn't think so.
Which would mean...
**[00:46] ---**
a nonmachine element resides in that 3H.
**[00:52] ---**
So, the demon has inhabited
the robot, has it?
**[00:56] ---**
I've received reports about the parasites,
but I didn't hear anything about this.
**[01:02] ---**
We haven't received reports of it, either.
**[01:05] ---**
I've only heard about it
through personal conversations.
**[01:08] ---**
No, no.
**[01:10] ---**
I wasn't criticizing you, Kyouko.
I was just thinking about...
**[01:13] ---**
how fascinating it was.
**[01:18] ---**
To think that you could use
a humanoid robot this way...
**[03:01] ---**
This isn't good, though.
**[03:03] ---**
That psychic display
must've been seen.
**[03:07] ---**
The police will be upon us presently.
**[03:10] ---**
Brother, should we leave here
for the time being?
**[03:13] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:14] ---**
Tatsuya!
**[03:16] ---**
Sorry! We're late!
**[03:19] ---**
Good timing.
**[03:21] ---**
Leo, you came, too?
**[03:23] ---**
Yeah. I got them to let me tag along.
Partly for rehab.
**[03:28] ---**
Well, don't overdo it.
**[03:29] ---**
Right.
**[03:30] ---**
Erika...
**[03:32] ---**
What?
**[03:33] ---**
We need to leave this place
as quickly as possible.
**[03:36] ---**
Did you prepare a way
to carry the three of them?
**[03:40] ---**
Um... We can take them to the storehouse
at Miki's place. Is that okay?
**[03:43] ---**
Is that okay, Mikihiko?
**[03:46] ---**
Of course it is.
**[03:47] ---**
I mean, that was our job
as Ancient Magic users to begin with.
**[03:52] ---**
All right, then me, Miki,
and I guess Leo, will take over here.
**[03:55] ---**
You guess?
**[03:56] ---**
You three should go home.
**[03:59] ---**
Wait, why?
We'll wait for you to load up.
**[04:02] ---**
Tatsuya, well, that is...
**[04:13] ---**
We'll take a cabinet.
**[04:15] ---**
I think that would be best.
**[04:27] ---**
Brother, whatever might you
be worried about?
**[04:31] ---**
It's not that I'm worried, really, it's just...
**[04:34] ---**
Honoka, when Pixie released
that powerful psychokinetic blast earlier...
**[04:39] ---**
did you get a sense of what happened?
**[04:42] ---**
No, why? What do you mean?
**[04:45] ---**
I'd like you to listen calmly.
**[04:48] ---**
Just before Pixie fired the psychic blast,
**[04:50] ---**
she'd been supplied
with Psions from you, Honoka.
**[04:57] ---**
Do you mean to say
that Honoka provided Pixie with strength?
**[05:01] ---**
No, it didn't exactly seem like that.
**[05:04] ---**
It was similar to the process
**[05:06] ---**
of injecting Psions into a CAD
when you want to expand an activation sequence.
**[05:11] ---**
Something like priming.
**[05:15] ---**
Or maybe resonance.
**[05:18] ---**
Mizuki said something
like the parasite copied Honoka's thoughts.
**[05:22] ---**
There really seems to be
some sort of path between Honoka and Pixie.
**[05:27] ---**
And it seems like...
**[05:34] ---**
It seems like the medium for it
is your hair ornaments, Honoka.
**[05:41] ---**
Specifically, those crystals.
**[05:43] ---**
I don't have any idea
what sort of logic is at work here, but...
**[06:03] ---**
Tatsuya gave me
these precious hair ornaments!
**[06:07] ---**
I don't want to lose them!
**[06:10] ---**
Setting aside the operative
principles for now...
**[06:14] ---**
we'll have to find a way to control it.
**[06:24] ---**
Well, how are we going to carry these guys?
**[06:27] ---**
I'll call a car. That'll work, right?
**[06:30] ---**
You there, what are you doing?
**[06:39] ---**
You're all in high school, aren't you?
What are you doing here at this hour?
**[06:43] ---**
What is this?
**[06:45] ---**
What the hell were you doing?
**[06:47] ---**
No, well, you see--
**[06:50] ---**
I should be asking you. Who are you?
**[06:53] ---**
What was that?
**[06:54] ---**
Hey, Erika...
**[06:55] ---**
Didn't you hear me?
I asked your names and rank.
**[07:00] ---**
What, you don't know?
**[07:01] ---**
There aren't any policemen
in this area right now.
**[07:04] ---**
They were ordered to leave.
**[07:06] ---**
Even that stupid brother of mine
wouldn't cut corners at a time like this.
**[07:10] ---**
What are you jabbering about?
**[07:12] ---**
You should've pretended to be detectives
in civilian clothing to better disguise yourselves.
**[07:15] ---**
Then, I would've at least heard you out.
**[07:18] ---**
You know you can't get out of this
with that nonsense!
**[07:21] ---**
We've caught you committing
a violent crime! You're coming with us!
**[07:24] ---**
Really? You're still
going to play the fool, huh?
**[07:28] ---**
That's too bad for you.
**[07:30] ---**
We stopped these three
during an attempted sexual assault.
**[07:34] ---**
And we were just waiting
for actual police officers to get here.
**[07:38] ---**
This is no place for imitations.
Am I making myself clear here?
**[07:43] ---**
I'm impressed how she can spin a story
off the top of her head.
**[07:46] ---**
Mikihiko!
**[07:57] ---**
Leo, get back!
**[08:11] ---**
They make those?
**[08:38] ---**
Thunder Child!
**[08:42] ---**
Where are Leo and Erika?
**[09:09] ---**
We're being pulled away
from the parasites.
**[09:12] ---**
We have to finish this quickly
even if it means being somewhat forceful.
**[09:17] ---**
Get down!
**[09:46] ---**
I'll get 'em!
**[09:47] ---**
Don't, Erika!
**[09:50] ---**
If you shot them out of the sky here,
it would cause a massive tragedy.
**[09:56] ---**
Well, that throws a wrench into things.
**[09:59] ---**
A call is coming in from the stealth team.
**[10:03] ---**
Open the line.
**[10:05] ---**
Reporting in. The mission was a success.
Sample secured.
**[10:10] ---**
Despite the accident,
you seem to have accomplished your objective.
**[10:14] ---**
Bring them into the ice box as planned.
**[10:17] ---**
And go heavy on the drugs just in case.
**[10:20] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[10:23] ---**
"VISITOR ARC IX"
**[10:25] ---**
"FEBRUARY 17, 2096"
**[10:31] ---**
You had something to talk about?
**[10:36] ---**
Tatsuya, well, actually...
**[10:39] ---**
What, did you let the parasites
get away or something?
**[10:45] ---**
I'm not going to get mad
at something like that, so stop worrying.
**[10:48] ---**
We can't do anything about them
now that they got away.
**[10:50] ---**
No, that's not it, Tatsuya!
**[10:52] ---**
That's right! They didn't escape!
**[10:56] ---**
Well, I mean, I guess they did, but...
**[11:02] ---**
Someone swooped in and grabbed 'em.
**[11:04] ---**
They were that strong?
**[11:07] ---**
It may sound like we're being sore losers,
**[11:10] ---**
but I don't think they were really that strong
in terms of their abilities.
**[11:13] ---**
Right.
**[11:13] ---**
But they came fully armed.
**[11:16] ---**
I've never seen a suit that shocked you
whenever you punched it before.
**[11:19] ---**
Every time I hit it,
this powder sprayed everywhere!
**[11:22] ---**
I should've brought a weapon
with more reach!
**[11:27] ---**
I see.
**[11:29] ---**
And then the parasites got taken away
on a black airship.
**[11:32] ---**
It makes me so mad!
**[11:34] ---**
Well, I'm glad nothing worse happened.
**[11:38] ---**
Tatsuya, you know who they were?
**[11:41] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:42] ---**
If they used such interesting gear
and a stealth-equipped airship...
**[11:48] ---**
it has to be the Japan Ground Defense Force's
counterintelligence Section Three.
**[11:52] ---**
If we know who we're up against, don't we
know where they brought the parasites to?
**[11:57] ---**
We can't narrow it down
if we don't know what they're after.
**[12:01] ---**
Right.
**[12:03] ---**
They're a government agency, so they can
probably have as many bases as they need.
**[12:07] ---**
Well, they've got a budget.
**[12:10] ---**
They can't just have a hundred.
**[12:12] ---**
But they're probably hidden all over the place,
so well even a thorough search wouldn't work.
**[12:18] ---**
Well, we don't have to worry about it much.
**[12:21] ---**
We'll just have to make sure nobody
can barge in this time. We'll set a trap.
**[12:33] ---**
Good morning, Ms. Balance.
**[12:36] ---**
I apologize for calling so early, Colonel.
**[12:39] ---**
Oh, it's you. Did you have
something to tell me?
**[12:43] ---**
Yes.
**[12:44] ---**
Yesterday, the JGDF counterintelligence
department's Section Three captured parasites.
**[12:51] ---**
We discovered one of them is a magician
formerly belonging to the USNA military.
**[12:57] ---**
The parasites have begun moving again?
**[13:00] ---**
It's possible that after the parasites' vessels
were destroyed, they found new hosts.
**[13:06] ---**
Here are the ones
that have been captured.
**[13:10] ---**
Three parasites have now
been taken prisoner.
**[13:14] ---**
This is the only one we've identified
thus far, but if you wish...
**[13:18] ---**
we can tell you where they are being held.
**[13:23] ---**
Please do, Ms. Kuroba.
**[13:26] ---**
Very well.
**[13:40] ---**
That's about it.
**[13:42] ---**
I believe that airship belonged to the information
bureau's counterintelligence Section Three,
**[13:46] ---**
rumored to have ties to the Saegusa Family.
**[13:50] ---**
If you're considering using the parasites
for military purposes, that would be dangerous.
**[13:54] ---**
We don't know for sure
how to destroy them...
**[13:57] ---**
so I think we should be sealing them.
**[14:00] ---**
Counterintelligence Section Three?
**[14:02] ---**
Even I didn't know that,
despite being a member of the Saegusa family,
**[14:05] ---**
so I'm surprised you know about it.
**[14:07] ---**
I'd appreciate it if you didn't ask
what my information source is.
**[14:12] ---**
Well, you probably have a lot
of your own things going on, so I won't.
**[14:17] ---**
More importantly...
**[14:18] ---**
why didn't you tell me
you were going out to capture the parasites?
**[14:22] ---**
Because I figured bringing more people
along would make them cautious.
**[14:30] ---**
It does make sense, I guess.
**[14:33] ---**
Anyway, you want me to explain
this to my father, right?
**[14:39] ---**
And get the information bureau to give back the
parasites they snatched to Erika and the others?
**[14:44] ---**
I won't tell you to get them
to give them back...
**[14:47] ---**
but once you've verified the reason
they took the parasites away,
**[14:50] ---**
if they're trying to deal with them
in any other way than sealing them,
**[14:52] ---**
I'd like you to warn them off.
**[14:55] ---**
Tell them that if the public finds out
**[14:57] ---**
that the information bureau is
taking advantage of the parasites
**[14:59] ---**
and magicians face
disadvantages because of it,
**[15:02] ---**
they'll be the ones
paying for the damages.
**[15:07] ---**
That's a scary thought.
**[15:09] ---**
Considering what's happening in the USNA,
I believe the threat is necessary.
**[15:18] ---**
Will do.
**[15:20] ---**
I'll talk to my father.
**[15:21] ---**
But I can't promise any results,
so don't expect too much.
**[15:26] ---**
Unlike Jumonji, I don't have
free reign over the Saegusa.
**[15:32] ---**
Thank you.
**[15:34] ---**
"FEBRUARY 18, 2096"
**[15:43] ---**
Saegusa...
**[15:46] ---**
"FROM: MAYUMI SAEGUSA" "SUB: CONFIRMATION"
"A spy holding facility belonging to
counterintelligence Section Three has been
attacked, and the captured parasites were killed."
**[16:08] ---**
This?
**[16:24] ---**
Lina...
**[16:40] ---**
They make her do cruel things.
**[16:43] ---**
Brother, was that...
**[16:45] ---**
Lina?
**[16:47] ---**
Probably.
**[16:50] ---**
A homicidal act, clearly without any thought
given to the contents within.
**[16:54] ---**
The goal was only to burn
the containers to cinders.
**[16:58] ---**
It had been an execution.
**[17:02] ---**
Assassinations are lonely
and cheerless work.
**[17:06] ---**
Without a high degree of affinity
personality-wise,
**[17:09] ---**
it's too heavy for a teenage girl.
**[17:12] ---**
So heavy she won't be able to endure.
**[17:14] ---**
It will crush her heart, little by little.
**[17:17] ---**
And Lina doesn't have...
**[17:19] ---**
the affinity to be an assassin.
**[17:27] ---**
Hello! Can you hear me?
**[17:31] ---**
It's okay, Miyuki. This room is free
of any sort of microphones or cameras.
**[17:35] ---**
He's just talking at us.
We can't communicate.
**[17:37] ---**
I'm going to assume you can,
if that's all right.
**[17:41] ---**
I'll start with an introduction.
**[17:43] ---**
My name is Raymond Sage Clark.
**[17:47] ---**
One of the Seven Sages.
**[17:49] ---**
The Seven Sages...
**[17:53] ---**
I heard about you from Tia... or rather...
**[17:56] ---**
Shizuku.
**[17:58] ---**
Pleased to meet you, Tatsuya!
**[18:00] ---**
I see. He's Shizuku's information source.
**[18:04] ---**
I'll cut to the chase.
**[18:06] ---**
I'm the one who told Angie Sirius
about counterintelligence Section Three.
**[18:10] ---**
Although it seems like she somehow
learned of this before I informed her.
**[18:16] ---**
And I also wanted to give you the scoop.
**[18:20] ---**
I think you'll find it highly beneficial.
**[18:24] ---**
The magician boycott movements
raging fiercely in the States right now,
**[18:28] ---**
the ones starting to gain traction in Japan,
were set up by one of the Seven Sages.
**[18:31] ---**
Gide Sage Hague.
**[18:34] ---**
What?
**[18:35] ---**
Gide Hague... Also known as Gu Jie...
A stateless overseas Chinese person...
**[18:39] ---**
and supreme leader of the international
terrorist organization, Blanche...
**[18:43] ---**
He's the boss of Hajime Tsukasa, whom you caught,
the leader of Blanche's Japanese branch.
**[18:49] ---**
And also a senior member
of Richard Sun's group,
**[18:51] ---**
the previous leader of the international
crime syndicate, No-Head Dragon.
**[18:56] ---**
In No-Head Dragon, they called Gu Jie
"the Black Elder" or "the Great Hague."
**[19:01] ---**
Oh, and just so you know,
**[19:04] ---**
just because he's one of the Seven Sages
doesn't mean I'm in conspiracy with him.
**[19:08] ---**
"Seven Sages" isn't the name
of a single group.
**[19:12] ---**
It refers to the seven operators
with access privileges to Hlidskjalf.
**[19:17] ---**
Hlidskjalf...
**[19:19] ---**
I've heard a rumor about it once.
**[19:22] ---**
Does it actually exist?
**[19:24] ---**
Hlidskjalf is one of the additional
expansion systems for Echelon III,
**[19:28] ---**
the global monitoring system.
**[19:32] ---**
Since it uses a backdoor in Echelon III,
**[19:35] ---**
maybe calling it a hacking system
lurking within the system would be better.
**[19:40] ---**
Anyway, Hlidskjalf collects information
from throughout the world
**[19:44] ---**
and gives information
along with search matches to the operators.
**[19:48] ---**
The system itself decides
who the operators will be,
**[19:53] ---**
and we haven't found any logic
to how it chooses people.
**[19:56] ---**
Ostensibly, it's completely random.
**[19:59] ---**
This is insane.
**[20:00] ---**
And using Hlidskjalf
is a risk to the operators, too.
**[20:06] ---**
The operator's search history is saved.
**[20:09] ---**
Search history records
are how I learned about Gide Hague.
**[20:13] ---**
Then, wouldn't Gide Hague now know
Raymond Clark's identity, too?
**[20:19] ---**
When Blanche's Japanese branch went under...
**[20:21] ---**
and No-Head Dragon lost
its Japanese headquarters...
**[20:24] ---**
Hague lost all his ways
to influence Japan.
**[20:28] ---**
Hague was the one who set up
the parasites to come to Japan, too.
**[20:32] ---**
His goal is to rebuild his spy base in Japan
by taking advantage of the chaos.
**[20:38] ---**
I've deciphered that his goal
is to destroy magic through social means.
**[20:45] ---**
If he can get rid of it, the Great Asian Alliance,
which is behind the curve when it comes to magic,
**[20:50] ---**
will immediately see its military might
improve compared to Japan.
**[20:53] ---**
To reign over a world without magic.
**[20:56] ---**
I think that's what Hague
and the people behind him are after.
**[21:00] ---**
His logic has leaps in it,
but as a whole, it makes sense.
**[21:05] ---**
And that isn't what I want.
**[21:09] ---**
You can laugh at me,
because this is going to seem romantic,
**[21:11] ---**
but I think magic is a way
toward a reformation of humankind.
**[21:17] ---**
Anyway, I'd like to keep providing you
with necessary information in the future.
**[21:23] ---**
Tatsuya Shiba, the Strategic-Class magician,
Shiva the Destroyer.
**[21:28] ---**
That's a terrible nickname.
**[21:30] ---**
Sorry, this all got a little long-winded.
**[21:33] ---**
Basically, I'm proposing
to help you get rid of the parasites.
**[21:39] ---**
Tomorrow night,
February nineteenth by you,
**[21:43] ---**
lure all active parasites to the outdoor
training area behind First High.
**[21:49] ---**
Then, I want you to annihilate them.
**[21:54] ---**
And I've already given Angie Sirius
this information, too.
**[21:58] ---**
You can cooperate with her
or compete with her, whatever you prefer.
**[22:13] ---**
We'll be late unless we leave soon.
**[23:42] ---**
