[00:04] ---
    Continuing to voice mail.
[00:08] ---
    It's Yukiya. Please call
    me back when you hear this.
[00:13] ---
    Haruka? Are you alright?
[00:17] ---
    History
    Haruka Tosabori
[00:28] ---
    Haruka!
[00:30] ---
    My apologies for calling so late.
[00:33] ---
    Is this Yukiya Araki-sama's phone?
[00:36] ---
    Huh?!
[00:37] ---
    Y-yes.
[00:38] ---
    S-sorry.
[00:40] ---
    I am calling on behalf of Midori Okuike,
    board member of the Okuike Group,
[00:47] ---
    in charge of the new energy
    development department.
[00:53] ---
    My name is Seba.
[00:55] ---
    Okuike...? You mean that Okuike Group?
[01:01] ---
    Yes. I have contacted you because we would
    very much like to meet with you, Yukiya-sama.
[01:10] ---
    If you could make time on an available day...
[01:17] ---
    U-um, you see, I'm still
    in middle school, so...
[01:24] ---
    This is a matter related to Hand Shakers,
    so your age is irrelevant.
[01:32] ---
    Hand Shakers...
[01:36] ---
    Connect together unfaltering feelings
[01:42] ---
    Then search again today REASON
[01:48] ---
    Someday we'll find never faded glory
[01:53] ---
    Now, we'll surely one day
    find a future yet unseen
[02:08] ---
    The shadows overlap the sleepless town
[02:13] ---
    Can you hear my calling? Even now...
[02:17] ---
    The sounds that resound at the end of despair
[02:21] ---
    The unwhithering, reasonless
    impulse of my soul
[02:25] ---
    It rings out even now
[02:30] ---
    Connect together unfaltering feelings
[02:34] ---
    And look, the SEASON comes around again
[02:39] ---
    Let's start it, my unending story
[02:43] ---
    Now, we'll surely go to
    where the light shines
[02:51] ---
    If it's with you
[02:55] ---
    I can hold hands forever
[03:19] ---
    Exploiting Ziggurat using my power...
[03:23] ---
    You probably could have gone
    without hearing that, huh?
[03:26] ---
    So the Composer was just
    an underling then, right?
[03:30] ---
    Sorry.
[03:32] ---
    I figured you two should be here,
    since the Composer was involved.
[03:36] ---
    You don't need to get more
    involved than just knowing.
[03:41] ---
    How selfish...
[03:43] ---
    What will you do, Yukiya-kun?
[03:48] ---
    You don't need to go, at least in my opinion.
[03:52] ---
    I'd like to believe they won't
    do anything drastic, either...
[03:55] ---
    But... they know my information, right?
[04:01] ---
    Yeah.
[04:06] ---
    I'm scared.
[04:07] ---
    But...
[04:09] ---
    I think I want to try talking to him.
[04:12] ---
    What is Okuike-san trying to do?
[04:15] ---
    Yukiya-kun...
[04:18] ---
    Koyori.
[04:20] ---
    Right.
[04:23] ---
    I'm going too.
[04:24] ---
    Huh? But...
[04:25] ---
    You're able to enter Ziggurat
    with anyone by your side.
[04:32] ---
    We can run away from anywhere.
[04:35] ---
    And Tazuna-kun is the ultimate Hand Shaker!
[04:39] ---
    I wouldn't go that far.
[04:41] ---
    But... You can count on me.
[04:45] ---
    Right! Thank you.
[04:58] ---
    I have brought Yukiya Araki-sama
    and Tazuna Takatsuki-sama.
[05:05] ---
    Welcome, Yukiya Araki-kun,
    Tazuna Takatsuki-san.
[05:10] ---
    I'm the Okuike Group board member and...
[05:14] ---
    No, I have too many titles,
    so let's keep it short.
[05:18] ---
    I'm Midori Okuike.
[05:20] ---
    I'm... Yukiya Araki.
[05:23] ---
    And I'm Tazuna Takatsuki.
[05:25] ---
    I'm honored.
[05:27] ---
    To think I would be visited by Tazuna Takatsuki-san,
    a Hand Shaker who met god.
[05:33] ---
    Now then... I'd like to
    get to the topic at hand.
[05:37] ---
    Rather than talking you to death,
    I think it would be quicker to show you first hand.
[05:44] ---
    What it is I'm after, that is.
[05:56] ---
    This place...
[05:59] ---
    It's a factory for refining metals.
[06:02] ---
    More specifically, what
    are called "rare metals."
[06:06] ---
    This facility is ultimately just experimental,
    so it can't be used as is, though.
[06:12] ---
    The Okuike Group is a leading expert
    in such technologies.
[06:17] ---
    However, all resources have their limits.
[06:21] ---
    No matter how much you
    may embellish the matter,
[06:23] ---
    we're eating away our resources for the future,
    which will affect our very lives.
[06:30] ---
    That was the work of mankind
    as we developed our culture.
[06:35] ---
    However...
[06:38] ---
    You're different.
[06:47] ---
    We're entering Ziggurat, alright?
[06:56] ---
    Tazuna-san...
[06:59] ---
    Right.
[07:11] ---
    Seba.
[07:19] ---
    Now then...
[07:23] ---
    Ziggurat is a different dimension.
[07:25] ---
    The concept of time is
    out of sync with reality.
[07:29] ---
    For example, vehicles stop in place.
[07:33] ---
    I'm sure you're aware of this.
[07:38] ---
    However...
[07:40] ---
    That doesn't mean that anything
    and everything stops.
[07:47] ---
    It's possible to make things
    move by your own hands.
[07:50] ---
    And it's the same for vehicles, too.
[07:52] ---
    You played music as W'z, didn't you?
[08:05] ---
    Well then, let's head back.
[08:12] ---
    Tazuna Takatsuki-san,
    could you please not treat us with such hostility?
[08:26] ---
    Do you understand now?
[08:32] ---
    Your power allows you to
    bring things into Ziggurat.
[08:37] ---
    And it also lets you bring things out.
[08:41] ---
    Ziggurat is a temporary copy of the world
    created using the power of Nimrods.
[08:48] ---
    Normally, it simply crumbles away once the Hand
    Shakers are done with their battle.
[08:52] ---
    However, that also means that
[08:54] ---
    Hand Shakers can copy the same
    world as many times as needed.
[09:00] ---
    What are you after?
[09:03] ---
    You don't get it, ultimate Hand Shaker?
[09:10] ---
    Yukiya Araki, you will provide us...
    Provide humanity, with unlimited possibility.
[09:15] ---
    For example, we can solve all problems
    related to resources such as energy and food.
[09:22] ---
    Not just that... We could
    create liquids or gasses, too.
[09:28] ---
    That's the work of a god.
[09:31] ---
    So you want to exploit Yukiya-kun?
[09:34] ---
    All I want is your assistance.
[09:37] ---
    Yukiya-kun, you're not like other people.
[09:42] ---
    No, you're different from
    other Hand Shakers, too.
[09:46] ---
    You're not challenging god.
[09:48] ---
    Instead, you'll become a god yourself.
[09:50] ---
    The individual who will illuminate
    a path for humanity to move onwards...
[09:54] ---
    That's you, Yukiya Araki.
[10:01] ---
    But doing that will destroy
    the world's balance.
[10:05] ---
    That's your thinking, as well as
    that of Koyori Akutagawa-san.
[10:10] ---
    But what do you think, Yukiya-kun?
[10:18] ---
    There's no proof that we can trust you.
[10:21] ---
    Yukiya-kun can enter Ziggurat from anywhere,
[10:24] ---
    so you could also use him to
    commit any crime you please.
[10:28] ---
    Trust is something we'll simply have
    to build from here on out.
[10:33] ---
    Between Yukiya Araki-kun and I.
[10:39] ---
    I don't know if you're right
    or not, Okuike-san. However...
[10:48] ---
    I don't think that's what
    Hand Shakers are, though.
[10:53] ---
    The battle between Hand
    Shakers isn't a good thing.
[11:01] ---
    I see...
[11:03] ---
    Our ways of thinking are still out of sync.
    There's no helping that.
[11:09] ---
    Let's meet and speak again another day,
    so we can clear up the misunderstandings between us.
[11:16] ---
    Seba.
[11:22] ---
    Well then, I shall escort
    the two of you back.
[11:26] ---
    Ah, right.
[11:29] ---
    Excuse us.
[11:35] ---
    Yukiya Araki-kun.
[11:43] ---
    Take care.
[11:51] ---
    It went just as we both thought, didn't it?
[12:06] ---
    I decided I didn't want to lie
    anymore, but that's all I did...
[12:15] ---
    History
    Yukiya Araki
[12:19] ---
    Number Withheld
[12:27] ---
    Is this Haruka Tosabori-sama's phone?
[12:30] ---
    I'm Seba, with the Okuike Group.
[12:34] ---
    Huh?! Okuike...
[12:47] ---
    It's only natural that you're
    surprised and on guard.
[12:50] ---
    But still, I'd like you to believe me.
[12:53] ---
    Just as I told you before,
    I'm a member of the Okuike Group's board.
[12:58] ---
    And above all else, I'm an
    ally to you and Yukiya-kun.
[13:03] ---
    I know about Hand Shakers.
[13:05] ---
    And about Yukiya-kun's power,
    which ties this world to Ziggurat.
[13:16] ---
    My goal is to make proper
    use of Yukiya-kun's power.
[13:22] ---
    It most certainly won't
    cause him any misfortune.
[13:26] ---
    Properly...?
[13:29] ---
    Yukiya-kun is different from
    the other Hand Shakers,
[13:32] ---
    who fight an ugly battle for
    the sake of their own desires.
[13:36] ---
    You must understand, as the one
    who has continued to stand by his side.
[13:41] ---
    His power doesn't solely allow him
    to take things into Ziggurat.
[13:46] ---
    He can also take anything
    he pleases back out.
[13:49] ---
    How do you know all that...?
[13:53] ---
    Because I've been concerned for Yukiya-kun and
    watched over him as well,
[13:57] ---
    in a different way than you.
[13:59] ---
    But Yukiya doesn't want his
    power to be used like that!
[14:05] ---
    I'm aware.
[14:07] ---
    Yukiya-kun's apparent timidness
    is grounded in his kindness.
[14:11] ---
    That's why he's hesitant to take advantage
    of his own power or circumstances.
[14:17] ---
    I don't want to force ideals
    Yukiya-kun doesn't believe in on him, either.
[14:25] ---
    But... what might others think?
[14:29] ---
    Others...?
[14:31] ---
    You've realized what I mean, haven't you?
[14:32] ---
    W'z. That has become widely known.
[14:41] ---
    You can't stop information
    once it's already been spread.
[14:46] ---
    It's true that Yukiya-kun shines,
    and a great many people will act as his allies.
[14:53] ---
    That includes Tazuna Takatsuki,
    the ultimate Hand Shaker who once met god.
[15:00] ---
    But... Can one person truly protect
    Yukiya-kun on their own?
[15:07] ---
    You kept on watching over
    Yukiya-kun's battles,
[15:10] ---
    lying and saying that you didn't
    remember anything of Ziggurat.
[15:16] ---
    I'm sure you understand.
[15:26] ---
    Yukiya-kun may be special, but as long as
    he's a Hand Shaker, he needs a partner.
[15:34] ---
    For example... I have Seba here.
[15:38] ---
    Pleased to make your acquaintance.
[15:40] ---
    You're a Hand Shaker too, Okuike-san...?
[15:44] ---
    Please, call me Midori.
[15:46] ---
    We share the same goal, after all.
[15:50] ---
    I... haven't exactly been
    thinking of the whole world.
[15:56] ---
    But you've been worrying about Yukiya-kun.
[16:01] ---
    Yes...
[16:02] ---
    There's something that
    you, and only you, can do.
[16:09] ---
    If you become Yukiya Araki-kun's partner,
    you can act in his place.
[16:16] ---
    I don't have any such power.
[16:19] ---
    You've only sealed it away.
    You remember, don't you?
[16:27] ---
    Your power is blooming inside.
[16:30] ---
    That makes you a perfect target
    to act in Yukiya-kun's stead.
[16:33] ---
    Me, acting in Yukiya's place...
[16:36] ---
    I could protect him.
[16:40] ---
    Yes. And then in turn, I could use the full might
    of the Okuike Group to protect you.
[16:46] ---
    Of course, that includes in Ziggurat.
[16:50] ---
    Even in that world?
[16:52] ---
    My power is that of the Okuike Group.
[16:56] ---
    My supporters and assistants far exceed
    those of Koyori Akutagawa.
[17:01] ---
    My ideals, and your thoughts towards
    that precious someone...
[17:05] ---
    We can walk this path together.
[17:11] ---
    For Yukiya...
[17:14] ---
    There's something you want
    to tell Yukiya-kun, isn't there?
[17:20] ---
    I wasn't able to do it.
[17:24] ---
    In the end, all I could do was lie.
[17:30] ---
    I couldn't become like Koyori-san.
[17:33] ---
    But Yukiya-kun is precious to you, isn't he?
[17:38] ---
    I can grant your wish, and help it to shine.
[17:44] ---
    The bond you two share.
[17:58] ---
    Fer realz?! Oh man, seriously?
[18:01] ---
    Seriously!
[18:02] ---
    I've got a source.
[18:06] ---
    Oh man!
[18:08] ---
    ...I see.
[18:16] ---
    Bunbun!
[18:22] ---
    Hey.
[18:29] ---
    Are you chilling out?
[18:31] ---
    Close! So close!
[18:34] ---
    Sadly, it ain't nothing so nice.
[18:38] ---
    I heard from a customer,
    about that cheesy Okuike.
[18:43] ---
    Okuike's made a move?
[18:46] ---
    It'd be nice if that boy just kept on doing
    like he had been, playing music.
[18:52] ---
    That... damn idiot.
[19:02] ---
    No helpin' it. I've gotta crush him.
[19:15] ---
    I'm gonna have you fulfill
    that offer, Tazuna Takatsuki.
[19:25] ---
    I haven't seen Haruka lately.
[19:28] ---
    Didn't she say something about transferring?
[19:30] ---
    Huh? She's doing that?
[19:34] ---
    Actually, it already happened.
[19:35] ---
    What?! For real?!
[19:38] ---
    Wh-what is it, Araki-kun?
[19:41] ---
    Was what you were talking about just now true?
    When did it happen?
[19:45] ---
    Um...
[19:48] ---
    Apparently it was right after
    the cultural festival...
[20:02] ---
    I see... So she didn't say
    anything to you, then?
[20:07] ---
    Then... she really did transfer?
[20:10] ---
    She's not here anymore?
[20:12] ---
    She's gone. She even took
    her things three days ago.
[20:17] ---
    Where did she go? And why?
[20:20] ---
    After the cultural festival.
[20:22] ---
    It was a school with dorms,
    associated with Okuike University.
[20:30] ---
    Okuike...
[20:31] ---
    It's a school for elite
    young ladies, isn't it?
[20:35] ---
    I could hardly believe it myself.
[20:38] ---
    Are you alright, Yukiya-kun?
[20:41] ---
    Do you want me to contact her for you?
[20:47] ---
    Yes please.
[21:05] ---
    I thought I understood Haruka,
    but I didn't know anything...!
[21:11] ---
    We didn't mesh at all...
[21:14] ---
    Haruka...
[21:16] ---
    I have to tell you how I feel.
[21:19] ---
    I won't let Okuike use you.
[21:26] ---
    Long time no see, Jirojiro!
[21:28] ---
    Yeah, me too, Reiji!
[21:32] ---
    Heeeey, and such...
[21:38] ---
    Yeah, we don't need any of that, right?
[21:41] ---
    It wasn't that I was hiding it, I
    just wanted to carefully protect it
[21:53] ---
    The gentle affection stowed away in my heart
[22:04] ---
    I want to hear your wish
[22:10] ---
    Even just in a dream is fine, but
    I want to nestle close to you
[22:19] ---
    Hey, god surely hasn't decided just yet
[22:31] ---
    Yes, whether this meeting was fate
    or just coincidence, it's fine
[22:43] ---
    Hey, between the two of us,
    you see, there's no sorrow
[22:55] ---
    Yes, whether we are lost, or at any time
[23:02] ---
    We'll stay positive and smiling
[23:11] ---
    Welcome, Yukiya-kun.
[23:12] ---
    This is the Okuike VIP room.
[23:15] ---
    Why did you call for me, Midori Okuike-san?
[23:18] ---
    You should feel honored, masked DJ W'z.
[23:22] ---
    I'd like to get right
    to the matter at hand...
[23:24] ---
    Could it be...?! You want me to write
    a theme song for the Okuike Group?!
[23:29] ---
    That's some serious pressure,
[23:31] ---
    but I'll give it my all to make something
    emotional with real groove to it!
[23:35] ---
    Next time on W'z, "DUDDY bUDDY riDe"!
[23:38] ---
    Please watch it.
