[00:01] Hijiri
    Let us meet again.
[00:05] Arata
    Hey, wait!
[00:07] Arata
    If you're not Hijiri, then who...
[00:16] Arata
    Who was that?
[00:17] Sora
    She is the "Iliad Fragment."
[00:20] Sora
    She copied Hijiri's memories and appearance
    to act as Hijiri's replacement.
[00:25] Sora
    She's a grimoire like me.
[00:27] Arata
    Hijiri's replacement?
[00:29] Sora
    She was the one who cooked
    and cleaned for you
[00:31] ---
    while the real Hijiri was gone.
[00:35] Sora
    Technically, you were seeing her
    for the first time in a while.
[00:40] Mira
    Hijiri Kasuga's contracted grimoire is here,
[00:42] Mira
    at a school that should have been destroyed.
[00:47] Arata
    H-Hey, wait.
[00:50] Mira
    I can do the investigation here myself.
[00:52] Mira
    Why don't you go search for your girlfriend?
[00:56] Arata
    Is it me, or does she seem angry?
[00:58] Sora
    Well, I imagine she's jealous because
    your old girlfriend came back.
[01:01] Mira
    That's not it!
SIGN    Bible Battle and Sweet Memory
[02:41] Arata
    Wasn't everyone saying that
    this school was destroyed?
[02:45] Mira
    Yes, that was the report.
[02:48] Arata
    But it's still here.
[02:50] Arata
    Does that mean this world
    was constructed, as well?
[02:54] Sora
    Only a demon lord or a
    candidate is capable of that.
[02:59] Sora
    So that means this school
    wasn't actually destroyed.
[03:08] Arata
    A barrier?
[03:09] Sora
    That's right.
[03:10] Sora
    The entire school was isolated
    to another dimension.
[03:14] Sora
    We're currently surrounded by a large barrier,
[03:17] Sora
    and floating in a rift in the
    sea of parallel dimensions.
[03:21] Sora
    That means we were warped to a world
[03:25] Sora
    where nothing exists but this
    school, and trapped here.
[03:28] Mira
    I thought we might be able to meet up
    with Lilith-sensei and Akio, but...
[03:34] Arata
    No one's around, and there's nothing here.
[03:36] Sora
    Not exactly, Master.
[03:42] Mira
    This impure aura...
[03:44] Mira
    I'll eliminate them!
[03:47] Mira
    Connect to Superbia Archive!
[03:49] Mira
    Execute Thema!
[03:56] Mira
    Huh?
[04:05] Arata
    I-I guess this isn't a good
    time to thank you for that.
[04:09] Arata
    What's going on, Sora?
[04:11] Sora
    It feels like Magus Mode has
    been sealed within the school.
[04:16] Arata
    So we can't fight, then?
[04:18] Sora
    I'm a purely magical entity,
[04:21] Sora
    so I can do anything, but...
[04:23] Sora
    Oh, well. Just leave this to me.
[04:26] Sora
    You take the naked girl and get out of here.
[04:29] Arata
    You sure?
[04:31] Sora
    Just get me something good to eat later.
[04:33] Arata
    All right.
[04:34] Arata
    Let's go, Mira.
[04:38] Arata
    You can punch me all you want later.
[04:41] Arata
    We're getting out of here now.
[04:42] Arata
    I'll try not to look while I run,
[04:44] Arata
    so hold on tight.
[04:46] Mira
    A-All right.
[04:48] Arata
    Yeah.
[04:51] Arata
    Crap, this is pretty hot.
[04:53] Mira
    Stop joking around!
[04:55] Sora
    Sheesh...
[04:57] Sora
    Now then...
[05:09] Sora
    Hm?
[05:14] Hijiri
    Your magic is as strong as ever, Astil Codex.
[05:19] Sora
    And I see you're using the same
    tricks as always, Iliad Fragment.
[05:25] Hijiri
    No matter how strong you are,
[05:27] Hijiri
    you're in my domain now.
[05:29] Sora
    I'm not so sure.
[05:30] ---
    We won't know until we get started.
[05:40] Arata
    It won't open now.
[05:42] Mira
    It might mean we're trapped in here.
[05:47] Arata
    Here.
[05:48] Mira
    Huh?
[05:50] Arata
    Seeing you act all shy and modest throws me off.
[05:53] Mira
    R-Right.
[06:04] Arata
    That's pretty sexy.
[06:06] Mira
    Don't tease me!
[06:10] Arata
    So we need to figure out what caused
    this, and get ourselves out of it.
[06:15] Arata
    I seem to recall that there's a
    way to get out of these things
[06:18] Arata
    without defeating the person
    generating the barrier.
[06:21] Arata
    We just need to destroy whatever's
    the core of the barrier, right?
[06:25] Mira
    That is one possibility.
[06:28] Arata
    So where in the school would that be?
[06:31] Mira
    Well...
[06:33] Mira
    There would be either one in the center,
[06:35] Mira
    or several, like when it forms a magic circle.
[06:40] Arata
    I see.
[06:41] Arata
    Then I'm going to check the center of the school.
[06:45] Arata
    You rest here, Mira.
[06:47] Mira
    Huh?
[06:48] Arata
    Your magic might come back if you do.
[06:51] Arata
    Your clothes should return, too.
[06:54] Mira
    You're going on your own?
[06:56] Arata
    Yeah.
[06:57] Arata
    If I get attacked by monsters, I'll just run.
[07:01] Mira
    It's dangerous.
[07:02] Arata
    I imagine it is,
[07:04] Arata
    but doing nothing isn't going to help us.
[07:12] Mira
    You don't know much about
    the interior of this school.
[07:16] Mira
    I'll go with you.
[07:17] Mira
    I don't want to be indebted
    to you any further.
[07:23] Arata
    All right.
[07:25] Arata
    Let's go together, Mira.
[07:27] Mira
    R-Right.
[07:30] Arata
    Okay.
[07:31] Arata
    Let's go!
[07:42] Sora
    I didn't think you'd use the
    monsters as disposable shields.
[07:46] Sora
    It's almost as if you're a bad mage.
[07:49] Sora
    They were once the students
    of this school, right?
[07:53] Hijiri
    Now that they've turned into these,
    they have no will of their own.
[07:58] Sora
    True.
[08:00] Sora
    I guess that means I don't
    need to hold back anymore.
[08:05] Hijiri
    Oh? Your magic has increased again.
[08:08] Sora
    My current master is quite the reckless boy.
[08:11] Sora
    We keep getting stronger.
[08:13] Hijiri
    I wouldn't expect less from the demon
    lord candidate that Hijiri and I chose.
[08:31] Sora
    Did I get her?
[08:37] Sora
    Oh, crap!
[08:48] Hijiri
    Oh, dear.
[08:50] Hijiri
    Hijiri always told you
    that you end up vulnerable
[08:53] ---
    after you use a powerful technique.
[08:59] Hijiri
    Wait for me, Arata-san.
[09:03] Hijiri
    You can't escape now.
[09:12] Arata
    So this is the center of the school?
[09:14] Mira
    Yes.
[09:15] Mira
    This clock tower would easily function
    as a pillar or core for a barrier.
[09:22] Arata
    So are taller places better, or something?
[09:24] Mira
    Yes, I believe they allow a barrier
    to encompass a greater area.
[09:30] Arata
    In that case,
[09:32] Arata
    I guess we'll just have to go up there.
[09:34] Mira
    I suppose so.
[09:37] Mira
    Okay...
[09:45] Arata
    Is something wrong?
[09:48] Arata
    Hm?
[09:49] ---
    Um...
[09:51] Mira
    The wind blew, and...
[09:53] Mira
    Well...
[09:54] Arata
    Oh...
[09:56] Arata
    But you don't really like pervy stuff, right?
[10:00] Mira
    R-Right.
[10:01] Arata
    Then I'll just be careful not to look.
[10:04] Mira
    Y-You will?
[10:06] Arata
    I mean, I'd love a peek,
    and I definitely want to look.
[10:11] Mira
    Honestly, you're such an impure man!
[10:14] Arata
    Or do you want me to go up first?
[10:17] Mira
    If there were a trap, could you spot it?
[10:20] Arata
    No, I guess not.
[10:22] Arata
    I guess I'll have to carry you on my back, then.
[10:25] Mira
    What?
[10:26] Arata
    I won't be able to see anything,
[10:28] Arata
    so that's fine, right?
[10:30] Arata
    Come on.
[10:41] Arata
    Hey, Mira.
[10:43] Mira
    Yes?
[10:44] Arata
    You're the top of the inspection division
    because your magic is strong, right?
[10:49] Mira
    Huh?
[10:51] Mira
    Yeah, I guess so.
[10:54] Mira
    That's one of the reasons.
[10:56] Arata
    There are other reasons?
[10:58] Mira
    My Thema is Iustitia... Justice.
[11:02] Mira
    I choose the path that is just.
[11:05] Arata
    Weren't Themas supposed to be
    the opposite of one's self?
[11:09] Arata
    So were you a delinquent at one point?
[11:12] Mira
    No!
[11:13] Arata
    What were you like before, then?
[11:19] Mira
    I...
[11:21] (Flashback) Person A
    Hey, Mira-san.
[11:23] (Flashback) Person A
    You've got really powerful magic, right?
[11:26] (Flashback) Person B
    It's hard to believe, when you're so cute.
[11:28] (Flashback) Person B
    You're so lucky.
[11:29] (Flashback) Person C
    Were you born with it?
[11:30] (Flashback) Person C
    Or did you train or something?
[11:35] Mira
    I tried my best not to get close to anyone.
[11:39] Mira
    Because my magic was so great,
[11:41] Mira
    there was a chance it could go out of control.
[11:44] (Flashback) Mira
    I'm sorry.
[11:49] Mira
    Obviously, I couldn't make any friends like that.
[11:53] Mira
    That's when...
[11:55] (Flashback) Akio
    Hey, first-year.
[11:57] (Flashback) Akio
    If you have free time,
[11:58] (Flashback) Akio
    you think you could help me with my research?
[12:01] (Flashback) Mira
    Huh? But...
[12:04] (Flashback) Akio
    I'm part of the Trinity Seven.
[12:07] (Flashback) Akio
    Strong magic is exactly what I want.
[12:13] Mira
    Akio took my hand.
[12:17] Mira
    She took me to all kinds of places on
    the pretense of her magic research,
[12:22] Mira
    and helped me get used to the school.
[12:25] Mira
    And then...
[12:52] (Flashback) Akio
    Mira!
[12:59] (Flashback) Mira
    S-Senpai!
[13:00] (Flashback) Akio
    You awake, Mira?
[13:02] (Flashback) Akio
    I was worried.
[13:03] (Flashback) Mira
    I-I'm sorry, Senpai!
[13:05] (Flashback) Mira
    My experiment failed...
[13:08] (Flashback) Akio
    You were doing it in secret so you
    wouldn't trouble anyone else, huh?
[13:15] (Flashback) Akio
    Hey, Mira.
[13:17] (Flashback) Akio
    If you have such immense magic,
[13:20] (Flashback) Akio
    then why not just use it boldly?
[13:24] Mira
    Akio's words rooted themselves
    deeply within me.
[13:30] Mira
    I thought it'd be great if I could
    be more frank, and look cooler.
[13:36] Mira
    That's why I wanted to become
[13:39] Mira
    someone who could take responsibility
    for the powers they had,
[13:44] Mira
    and be an agent of justice.
[13:46] Arata
    I see.
[13:48] Mira
    Wait, why did I tell you all of that?!
[13:52] Arata
    What's the problem?
[13:53] Arata
    It was a good story.
[13:56] Mira
    Th-This is why I hate impure men like you.
[14:01] Mira
    What's so funny?!
[14:03] Arata
    I was just thinking you're
    finally acting like yourself.
[14:07] Arata
    Part of it is that I was just
    interested in you, plain and simple,
[14:11] Arata
    but I thought if we talked about something,
    it might take your mind off things.
[14:17] Mira
    You're awfully audacious for someone so impure!
[14:20] Arata
    I can't breathe...
[14:21] Arata
    I can't breathe!
[14:22] Mira
    Seriously, instead of worrying about me,
[14:25] Mira
    you should be thinking about
    how to escape from this school.
[14:28] Mira
    You know, you're the temporary
    2nd in the inspection division.
[14:33] Arata
    Sure. Leave it to me, Leader.
[14:44] Arata
    How's it look?
[14:45] Arata
    Any traps?
[14:46] Mira
    It looks fine as far as I can see, but...
[14:53] Mira
    That's...
[14:54] Arata
    Sora?
[14:56] Arata
    Hey, Sora!
[14:58] Arata
    Hey!
[15:05] Hijiri
    I've been waiting for you, Arata-san.
[15:08] Arata
    Hijiri!
[15:09] Mira
    No, that's the Iliad Fragment.
[15:12] Hijiri
    Well, Arata-san.
[15:13] Hijiri
    I've sealed away your grimoire's magic.
[15:17] Hijiri
    Now if I get rid of that girl there,
[15:20] Hijiri
    it'll just be you and me.
[15:23] Hijiri
    Time and space, all of it has stopped here,
[15:26] Hijiri
    and until Hijiri destroys all of this world,
[15:30] Hijiri
    you and I will be here, together.
[15:37] Mira
    This impure aura...
[15:39] Mira
    It's pretty strong.
[15:41] Arata
    So this is one of those "really tight
    jams" that I've heard about.
[15:45] Hijiri
    No, not at all.
[15:47] Hijiri
    You're very important to Hijiri and me.
[15:52] Hijiri
    The only one in a really tight
    jam is that female mage.
[15:57] Sora
    Hey, Master.
[16:00] Sora
    Oh, don't react.
[16:02] Sora
    I'm talking to you in a way no one will notice.
[16:05] Sora
    I'm being held in the core of the barrier,
[16:09] Sora
    which also seems to comprise the school,
    as well as this whole space.
[16:14] Arata
    So that means...
[16:15] Sora
    If you destroy it, the school will collapse.
[16:20] Arata
    I see.
[16:22] Sora
    I'll try doing something from in here.
[16:25] Sora
    Buy me time.
[16:26] Arata
    Okay, I'll give it a try.
[16:32] Arata
    Hey, Iliad Fragment.
[16:34] Hijiri
    Just call me Ilia.
[16:36] Hijiri
    Hijiri called me that, too.
[16:38] Arata
    Okay, Ilia.
[16:40] Arata
    I'll stay here,
[16:42] Arata
    but can you let this girl out?
[16:44] Mira
    Wh-What are you saying?
[16:47] Hijiri
    Hmm...
[16:48] Hijiri
    That's your move, huh?
[16:49] Arata
    It's me you need, right?
[16:52] Arata
    So Mira doesn't need to be here.
[16:55] Hijiri
    That's true.
[16:57] Hijiri
    We don't really need that girl
[16:59] Hijiri
    in a world for just the two of us.
[17:02] Hijiri
    Understood.
[17:03] Hijiri
    In that case, Arata-san, can you
    come over here, close to me?
[17:07] Arata
    Sure.
[17:08] Mira
    Don't!
[17:09] Mira
    You don't need to sacrifice yourself like that!
[17:12] Arata
    Yeah, but I'm the 2nd.
[17:15] Arata
    I need to make sure the boss gets out safe.
[17:18] Mira
    That's my decision to make.
[17:21] Mira
    You're just a temp!
[17:23] Arata
    Sorry.
[17:24] Arata
    Once you're out,
[17:25] Arata
    see if you can get me out from there.
[17:36] Arata
    Hey.
[17:37] Arata
    If we leave her there, will she die?
[17:40] Hijiri
    Grimoires don't die.
[17:42] Hijiri
    The only way they could "die" is
    if they were forgotten forever.
[17:46] Hijiri
    That's it.
[17:47] Arata
    That's awfully sad.
[17:50] Arata
    Though I think it'd be even harder
[17:52] Arata
    to forget someone as energetic as she is.
[17:55] Hijiri
    You're pretty kind, Arata-san.
[17:58] Hijiri
    To think you'd feel that way
    for mere tools like us.
[18:03] Arata
    Was it true when you said Hijiri
    was going to destroy the world?
[18:08] Hijiri
    Yes, the current Hijiri
    isn't the Hijiri you know.
[18:15] Arata
    What do you mean?
[18:17] Hijiri
    I mean
[18:18] ---
    she'll end the world,
[18:20] Hijiri
    destroy all falsehood in the world,
[18:24] Hijiri
    and then, when everything's over...
[18:28] Hijiri
    It'd be best for you to ask
    her yourself, Arata-san.
[18:35] Hijiri
    Now for that mage.
[18:42] Arata
    Hey!
[18:43] Hijiri
    I'm sorry, Arata-san.
[18:45] Hijiri
    There's no way to let her,
    and her alone, out of the barrier,
[18:49] Hijiri
    so I'll kill her as quickly as possible.
[18:53] Arata
    You...
[18:58] Arata
    What's this about, Ilia?!
[19:00] Hijiri
    Just a precaution.
[19:02] Hijiri
    I guessed that you might try to telepathically
    communicate with the Astil Codex.
[19:10] Hijiri
    You underestimated a girl in love.
[19:14] Hijiri
    She would want to know everything
    about the boy she loves.
[19:17] Hijiri
    She would want to tie him up.
[19:19] Hijiri
    She wouldn't allow another
    girl to get close to him.
[19:23] Hijiri
    That's what it means for
    a girl to be truly in love.
[19:28] Sora
    So this was a device to suck
    out my magic, as well?!
[19:32] Hijiri
    That's right, Astil Codex.
[19:36] Hijiri
    You will be here forever,
    as my energy source.
[19:42] Sora
    So when you summoned my master
    and me here without sealing my magic,
[19:46] Sora
    it was all a trap?!
[19:48] Mira
    Vile grimoire!
[19:54] Hijiri
    I don't care what you have to say.
[19:56] Hijiri
    You're about to die.
[20:01] Arata
    Mira!
[20:11] Hijiri
    You shouldn't get so worked up
    for other girls, Arata-san.
[20:17] Hijiri
    I'm sure Hijiri would be jealous.
[20:20] Hijiri
    Just watch from there.
[20:23] Hijiri
    You'll see what Hijiri wants to do
    to girls who get friendly with you.
[20:28] Hijiri
    And you'll watch as your grimoire loses her purpose,
[20:32] Hijiri
    and becomes nothing more than a mere thing.
[20:35] Arata
    S-Stop it!
[20:44] Arata
    Ilia!
[20:47] Hijiri
    Arata-san?
[20:55] Hijiri
    Why are you looking at me like that?
[20:59] Arata
    I...
[21:02] ---
    like it most when the girls I like are smiling.
[21:07] Arata
    I want my friends to spend every day smiling.
[21:10] Arata
    That's all I want.
[21:13] Hijiri
    Wh-What are you saying?
[21:15] Arata
    Is this going to happen again?
[21:18] Arata
    Am I going to stay trapped by this
    irrational power you call "magic,"
[21:21] Arata
    never able to do what I want?
[21:24] Arata
    Then I'm not "controlling" anything.
[21:30] Hijiri
    Arata-san...
