Jeez!
Let me see it. Jeez!
Let me see it.
Excuse me...
You have to pull both sides or you can't put it on, since the heel gets stuck.
That's it.
Here.
Was I bothering you?
No...
I did it as I would for my little sister.
Sorry.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
A little star shining far in the night sky
Probably nobody has found it yet
But it's shining so brightly, never giving up
It's just like me somehow
At the corner of a street full with different people
I'm about to become unsure what is real
Looking for myself, stretching the antenna of my heart
I know the excitement, I wanna get it
The dream is here
It's always right here near me
No matter how small it is
Yes, it becomes the beginning
Someday I will meet
The one and only me
I should believe more, there is a future
Be my only Angel
"System Down! Decisive Fight on a Ship in a Storm!"
Hokkaido?
It sounds good.
Isn't it cool around this time of year?
No. Sapporo also gets hot in the Summer.
You wouldn't believe how hot it gets in Setouchi.
It's so hot, you can grill mackerel on the road.
What's that?
I came to Tokyo to accompany my little sister and also to escape.
The end.
But I admire that you brought your younger sister here.
But she's like a bullet.
Since she left to look for Misaki Suzuhara, she hasn't returned.
Misaki Suzuhara?
Don't you know?
The Miracle Rookie that won the Kanto games championship.
She's tiny and cute.
Yes...
She remembered that I once said I'd like to talk to her.
And she said I could meet her.
Big Brother!
Here comes Misaki Suzuhara.
Hurry, hurry up!
Really?
Yes, really. Really?
Yes, really.
See you later.
You're tall.
You're the opposite of Misaki Suzuhara.
Big Brother.
See you later.
Not again...
I didn't grow so tall by choice though...
Hikaru is just like Athena.
Athena? Really?
Yes. She's small, but really tries her best.
I really hope that Hikaru can become like Athena.
Isn't it nice to be small?
Even if you make it an excuse when you lose, nobody blames you.
If you keep saying you're small, people praise you when you win.
They sympathize when you lose.
Either way, you won't get hurt.
Why are you saying such things?
It's awful.
Are you trying to use psychological tactics?
No!
She's our opponent for the first game.
Is that right?
Since you're so big, you don't know how hard it is for her to be small.
That's right!
I don't understand how small people feel!
I heard it's going well.
The prosthetic leg.
Yes...
They say it'll be perfect this time.
The new type neuro-chip seems terrific.
I'll judge if it's perfect or not.
You're too tough on checking.
I'm thinking about people who are going to use them.
Sorry.
Look, mom!
After we finish this project, together...
Live together...
You're going to live together with Misaki-chan, aren't you?
Yes.
I thought so!
Thunder?
We should go back soon.
What do you mean "you escaped"?
I can't relax if I stay downstairs, since the fans bother me.
Finally, the first game for Misaki-chan.
You're lying about wanting shelter.
It was Icchan.
He told you to watch me.
The game will start soon.
Now, the Miracle Rookie at the center of attention at these games,
Misaki Suzuhara is in this next battle!
And the opponent is Chitose Tanaka. She won at Hokkaido.
Will Angel Elain's long reach also work at the national games?
She's here again.
Chitose Tanaka.
"The Northern Aurora, Elain," huh...
These contestants are the champions and runner-ups from each area, right?
Why are you asking now?
Suzuhara will have tough battles like those against Shirahime and Blanche.
Don't worry. She'll be okay.
She survived those battles.
That's true. You're right.
You're only thinking about Misakichi, Kotaro-chan.
What are you saying?
The computer selects Layer settings randomly each battle.
What is it this time?
Are we going to fight on the sailing ship?
Amazing, Mr. Inada!
Any way you look at it, it looks like a real ship.
Yeah...
Wonderful detail.
Mr. Inada made it with his heart and soul.
"Ship in a bottle..."
I'm surprised his hobby could be useful.
There aren't any effects yet from the thunder's electromagnetic waves.
Okay.
Keep your eyes on it.
I have a bad feeling about this.
We've just got a message from the organizer of the games.
Only the sailing ship is considered the battlefield of this stage.
If one falls into the ocean, it's considered a Layer-out.
If I fall into the ocean, I'll lose.
Calm down, Misaki.
Hikaru's use of the sailing ship can be broader.
Broader?
She can fight mid-air if she uses the masts.
It means the battlefield becomes broader.
I see!
Now, Entry Angel!
Wear the victorious aurora and shine, Elain!
Wings of an Angel! Please guide me and Hikaru!
Angel, fall in!
Go, Elain!
She's big!
Be careful! Elain's arms are long.
Even if you keep your distance, she can still reach you.
You look like you're having fun.
Because I believe that she won't lose.
As her mother?
No.
As her rival.
From here!
Do you think so?
I'll show you the Northern Aurora!
Reversal Hexagon!
That's...
What's this?
Hikaru!
It's the end of the first round!
Elain has been pressing Hikaru with her amazing technique.
What's that?
She made the space resonate with the field sensor's reversed signals.
The trapped foe gets attacked by the shockwave's diffused reflection.
But I'm surprised that she got that idea.
What do I do?
I can't get close to Elain at all.
There's a way.
It's difficult though...
Tell me, Hatoko-chan.
Leave it to me!
Elain is leading at the second round!
Hikaru can't steal the points!
What's wrong?
Are you thinking about the excuses for when you lose?
Now! Jump!
What?!
What's wrong?
Hikaru!
What's wrong?
Hikaru!
What? What happened?
Is there trouble?
What's happening?
It's suddenly getting stormy!
The weather control has an error!
How about the emergency power?
It's currently at 78%.
It's barely operational, but...
It's going to be close. It'll be low soon.
The matrix maintenance module is affected.
It's also possible that the Layer could disappear.
Let's stop the game!
Idiot!
If an incident interrupts the games,
it will ruin the fun of Angelic Layer.
We should never let the Deuses and the audiences see the trouble.
That's why Deuses and Angels,
and all those that love Angelic Layer,
make it our responsibility!
Chief...
What are we going to do if we make the dream and don't keep it?
Yes!
Matrix cascade has stopped.
All right! Let's get going!
The harsh weather puts the Angels and Deuses through an ordeal!
What a terrific presentation!
You can see this only at the national games!
Misakichi!
Defeat the ordeal!
Misakichi, fight, fight, fight!
Is it really a presentation? Misakichi, fight, fight, fight!
Something's odd.
Icchan...
Bypass this and this, and connect them to the main conduit.
We need to turn off the switch to the thought transfer system.
We have one minute before the next round.
Can you do that?
We have no other choice.
I'm counting on you.
That's my sailing ship.
I won't let it disappear.
Ogata and Fujimori, switch the array processor.
Damn you!
The second round is finished!
We can't guess who'll win!
Torque wrench.
Misaki.
Please be careful with the change in the Layer.
It may be trouble.
I don't know 3D well since this is it's first use,
but it may affect control.
Do you think so?
It doesn't bother me though...
She's been able to fight properly and it's also the same for Elain.
You're right.
We just fight at full strength, right?
Now.
Now, it's finally the last round!
I don't want to lose to you, Miss Suzuhara!
Once you've grown taller, you can't go back to being small.
It's too late then for regret.
But I think it's good to be tall, since you can do so much.
All the boys think girls should be small and cute.
Do you understand how I feel, being laughed at because I'm tall?
I didn't become this tall by choice!
I thought being small was a disadvantage.
But now I know some people that hate being tall...
Hey! Don't push me!
Sorry.
But your bottom is soft and...
That's obviously sexual harassment!
Ogata's a naughty, dirty, pervert!
No! Sorry!
Idiot!
What's the "idiot" for?
We have no choice in this closed space.
Boo! Jeez...
Oh, my God! Matrix cascade again!
Stop doing that technique!
The Layer will be broken!
Chief!
Do something yourself!
My hands are full right now.
Oh, no.
Miss Fujimori, you're more knowledgeable than I am.
Please!
How pitiful you are!
We'll give a penalty game to such a coward AND wuss like you!
Chief! What do we do?
I'll take time to think about it later.
I was worried about being small for a long time, too.
But Hatoko-chan taught me that height and age don't matter.
So...
Being big or small doesn't matter!
If we do our best, I'm sure we'll be able to do anything.
Anything!
Misaki...
There's no way you...
There's no way you could understand how I feel!
Reversal Hexa-
Elain!
Why?
If you hadn't saved me, you would've won.
Everybody would admire you for being amazing.
Because I don't like that way of winning.
I want to fight the best I can.
I don't care if I win or not, as long as I fight with my full strength.
I did it!
Chief, so I won't have a penalty game after all?
Idiot! It's only natural that you can do that!
Too bad...
Thank you.
We haven't finished fighting yet.
Right!
Yes.
All right!
You guys did great!
Hikaru wins!
She cleared the first fight after overcoming the harsh weather!
Misaki!
Misaki-chan did a good job!
And my big brother Ichiro too.
Yes...
I hope we can fight each other again.
Yes.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry that you lost.
But you were strong.
You looked terrific.
Thank you.
Ah, in a raining city
An unexpected chance encounter
Ah, that familiar shirt.
I didn't know that it was you
Yes, I was very timid
I could only see myself
At some point I leaned on you
And depended on your kindness
Through the countless nights
I found out what was important
I'm sure I won't hesitate anymore
Now that my eyes only see you
You'll be surprised to hear this!
The next opponent is the guy that made the Angel Eggs.
On top of that, I heard this Angel is the latest model.
Excuse me, Mr. Icchan.
Why do you know so much about it?
You still think I'm just an old guy in a lab coat
that has a love for toys, don't you?
Yes!
