﻿"Mr. Kitten, Mr. Kitten, ﻿why are your whiskers so long? Meow, meow."
Hmm, maybe "mya-meow" would be better...
﻿Oh, no!
No way!
﻿Wait!
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
Oh, Student Council President...
﻿Upperclassman Kisaragi...
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
Would this happen to be yours?
Y-Yes. Th-Thank you.
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
﻿I am first year, Noel Vermillion.
Noel?
﻿I see, so you're the one with the ﻿highest ever ars magus aptitude.
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
Thank you very much.
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
S-Sure.
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
"Mr. Kitten, Mr. Kitten, ﻿why are your whiskers so long? Meow, meow."
﻿He didn't see it, right?
﻿He didn't read it, right?
No!
Why can't you hear
the heartbeat of this world?
Can, and audible...
Can it believe the future
We nurture an inexperienced smile
as we are thrown around
Does not give up
I'd like to know the truth
The night god toys with our suffering
like a branding iron
I won't hold back, won't doubt
If you are innocent after purification,
then let your soul strike out at the demons
Salvation won't lie in fighting
What power is this
You can see it
With eyes of steel we keep our emotions in check
Until our life ends,
commence your awakening
Your hands so clean, your blue shiny lights
May they reach the sky
Rebel 4: Probabilistic Events
Good grief, you sure gave me a lot ﻿of trouble there, Hakumen.
I believe I told you not to get in my way.
﻿I'm going to leave you like that for a while.
And I believe I told you ﻿that I would not obey you.
﻿Oh-ho, still able to move even with all that...
﻿I suppose the credit goes ﻿to your Power of Order.
﻿But it's no use.
This barrier is self-repairing.
﻿This is a grandiose device ﻿just to hold me, bakeneko.
I'd love to hurtle you to the ﻿bottom of the Boundary once again, ﻿but that body of yours...
﻿is the Susano'o Unit I need.
﻿Your manner of speech strongly ﻿resembles that of your mother.
﻿Blood will always tell.
Shut up.
﻿It is good of you to come.
﻿It has been a long time... has it?
﻿Yes. In terms of time as perceived by you, ﻿it has been 19,792 hours, ﻿41 minutes, and 52 seconds.
﻿For us, it's been 283,875 hours, ﻿18 minutes, and 24 seconds.
Why did you unleash the Tsukuyomi Unit?
If you hadn't stopped it, all would've been reduced to ashes
and the irregularity would've been dealt with at the same time.
We request your reason for unleashing it.
﻿I am not obligated to give you an answer.
Your events are your own.
We acknowledge your refusal to answer.
﻿You're the ones who released Yuuki Terumi ﻿from his cage in the Boundary, aren't you?
﻿Yes.
The process leading to the Day of Ruin has already been set in motion.
Don't tell me you all intend to make naught of the world?
﻿No.
﻿We, the Takama-ga-hara, ﻿only care that the world be correct.
﻿With the appearance of the Azure Successor,
the world has gone down the path of ﻿the probabilistic Continuum Shift event.
We will control the event distortions that are likely to occur in the future...
﻿...and target irregularities for elimination.
﻿Do you think you've ﻿become gods?
﻿No.
﻿The Takama-ga-hara was created by man.
﻿We are creations and cannot become gods.
﻿And the Master Unit is no exception.
With the way the Master Unit introduces distortions to the world, its existence is unnecessary.
You plan to use Terumi to that end?
﻿Is he someone you are ﻿capable of handling, I wonder?
He is under our control.
﻿There is no measurable risk to him.
Should the occasion call for it, we will merely reinitialize him.
Rachel Alucard, you are close to our side.
Do you have any interest in coming back?
﻿A stupid question to ask.
Observed.
We determine that answer to mean that you have no intention of returning to us.
That choice is illogical.
﻿Your are the ones who see everything ﻿and you are the most blind.
Sh-Shit!
﻿Wanna play, meow.
﻿But we'll get scolded again, meow.
﻿Good Guy, time to eat, meow!
﻿H-Hey, this had better be edible...
﻿Kaka cooking is very tasty and ﻿full of nutritious goodness, meow!
﻿Eat lots, so you can get well quickly, meow!
﻿Hot, hot, ho—
﻿Oh! Surprisingly it's pretty good.
Second Lieutenant Noel Vermillion.
Y-Yes!
My apologies!
﻿I was just thinking about something.
Please forgive me.
﻿You're the same as ever, Noelly.
﻿You seriously didn't realize who it was?
﻿It's me, Noelly.
M-Makoto?!
Makoto! Makoto!
This fluffy tail!
No doubt about it, it's Makoto!
﻿And without my tail you couldn't ﻿tell?!
﻿It sounds like you've run ﻿into all kinds of trouble.
Yeah.
﻿I didn't know what I should do on my own...
﻿I'm really glad I ran into you, Makoto.
By the way, Noel, were you okay when that thing happened?
﻿Thing?
﻿You know, when the sky turned ﻿all bright and it shook a lot.
﻿Th-That shaking? Turned bright?
You didn't see it?
﻿Oh, no, because I was on a lower level.
All of Kagutsuchi was in an uproar.
﻿Things are still chaotic at the top, too, ﻿and there's no reliable information,
﻿but the rumors are that it ﻿might've been the Takemikazuchi.
The Takemikazuchi?
﻿An Archenemy that played ﻿a part in the Dark War.
﻿It was too powerful, so it's said ﻿that it was sealed away somewhe—
﻿Wait, weren't you the one who told me that?
﻿It was probably Tsubaki and not me.
﻿I think it was when we were studying ﻿for our first test since school started.
Let's see...
In order for mankind to be able to fight the Black Beast,
﻿they fused magic with science and ﻿that's what we call "ars magus"...
Ugh, I don't know any of this...
﻿Was the paper you wrote on ars magus, Tsubaki?
﻿Yes, bit by bit when I had time.
﻿Hey, Noel, what's this ﻿Takemikazuchi that shows up here?
Uh, um...
﻿It's the most famous Archenemy.
﻿It was put to use against the ﻿Black Beast during the Dark War, too.
﻿But it was too powerful and it's said ﻿that it was sealed away somewhere.
﻿Archenemies are those things, right?
﻿Made for fighting the Black Beast?
﻿Yes, they were created by the Great ﻿Mage Nine, one of the Six Heroes.
﻿Powerful event weapons.
The Six Heroes used them to emerge ﻿victorious against the Black Beast.
﻿That's common knowledge that ﻿even kids in elementary school know.
﻿That may be true for you, Tsubaki, ﻿but I was specially admitted ﻿for my athletic abilities.
﻿That's why I'm giving you ﻿special tutelage here, right?
﻿Yeah, yeah.
﻿We used to study at the Military ﻿Academy's library a lot, didn't we?
﻿Yeah.
Oh, that's right!
﻿﻿That time, the Major— ﻿Upperclassman Kisaragi came by...
﻿That reminds me, Noel, you chose ﻿clerical work as your preferred post?
﻿You did?
Y-Yeah.
﻿Even though you have such ﻿a high aptitude for ars magus?
But I am...
﻿S-Student Council President!
﻿Brother Jin!
﻿Hey, Tsubaki. Studying with everyone?
﻿Y-Yes!
With my roommates.
﻿Brother? Brother Jin?
O-Oh, sorry.
Is something the matter?
﻿No.
I'll be excusing myself now.
Okay.
I wonder what's bothering him.
﻿You're just as hot for Upperclassman ﻿Kisaragi as ever, aren't you?
Wha—
﻿It's too late for that. Right, Noel?
﻿What?! She is?!
I-I keep telling you it's not true!
﻿That brings back memories...
﻿I wonder if Tsubaki's doing well, too.
Makoto?
﻿Tsubaki will be coming here ﻿to Kagutsuchi soon, too.
Really?!
Yeah...
﻿But it's not a happy thing.
﻿This is top secret information even ﻿within our Intelligence Department,
﻿but I'm going to tell you about it, Noel.
﻿Upperclassman Kisaragi...
﻿The Major snuck out of the ﻿hospital and he's missing.
﻿Wh-Why?
﻿Besides, with those wounds...
﻿No one knows the reason.
﻿But the brass think it's ﻿possible that he's defected.
No way!
Because of him...
﻿But there's something worse...
﻿Say, Noel, do you know what ﻿unit Tsubaki's attached to now?
﻿The Zeroth Division.
﻿The Wings of Judgment.
﻿That enforcement unit...?
﻿The orders that have been given to ﻿Tsubaki are to find Major Kisaragi ﻿and you, Noel...
...and assassinate you two.
﻿...﻿you are asked to seek out ﻿Major Jin Kisaragi and Second ﻿Lieutenant Noel Vermillion...
﻿...and assassinate both, please.
Our information says they are both currently on the run in Kagutsuchi.
Uh, um...
﻿What did those two do? Assassinate them?
This is an Imperial Command.
﻿Surely, you do not doubt ﻿the will of the Imperator?
N-No, sir.
However, it would not seem wise to allow your doubts to manifest in your sword, so in brief...
The rebel, Ragna the Bloodedge.
The Grim Reaper?
It appears that Major Kisaragi and Second Lieutenant Vermillion
﻿both had contact with that man and defected.
﻿The branch office has suffered ﻿catastrophic losses as well.
It seems the two of them share some kind of special relationship with that man.
That can't be...
That is all.
You are free to go, First Lieutenant Tsubaki Yayoi.
The sealed Armagus Izayoi.
I never thought I'd use this against those two...
﻿Brother Jin...
Wait for me, Brother. I'm...
﻿Mere wounds such as these...
Oh, dear, he's a ragged mess.
Perhaps too great a handicap, even for the great Hero?
You gonna help him?
It appears that this is not meant to be my scene.
Long time no see, Jin.
Do not address me so familiarly, damn cat. I do not know you.
﻿Well, that's fine.
I go by the name of Jubei.
Jubei?
Are you making fun of me, claiming to be one of the Six Heroes?
﻿Others are free to call me whatever they like.
﻿This is a message to you from a certain person.
﻿The world is constantly striving for parity.
﻿Should things tilt one way, a power ﻿to correct that tilt will also appear.
﻿And that is the Power of Order.
What are you saying?
The farther things tilt, the greater that power.
Enough to put the world itself in jeopardy.
The Power of Order itself is neither good nor evil.
﻿Meaning, it depends entirely ﻿upon the one who wields it.
﻿This is stupid.
Well, right now, I'm sure it is.
Jin, if at some point in the future,
﻿you find the resolve to fight against ﻿what is within you, come see me!
How you've grown...
I'm going to look for Major Kisaragi.
﻿You have some idea where he might be?
Ragna the Bloodedge...
﻿What?! The one with the ﻿SS-class bounty on his head?
Yeah.
﻿Thinking back now, the moment ﻿he started acting like this was...
﻿I see, so that guy really was...!
﻿Oh, I'm such an idiot! ﻿
Why did I part ways with him?!
If I'd waited, Major Kisaragi might have...
﻿In that case, try the village of ﻿the Kaka Clan on the lowest level.
You just might be able to find the person you're looking for.
The Kaka Clan?
Listen to me, Noel.
If you run into Tsubaki, call me.
Whatever you do, don't do anything rash.
Makoto?
﻿I'm sure if we can meet and talk, the three ﻿of us can go back to the way we always were.
Okay.
That uniform...
Which way?
Ars magus!
It's this way.
Hold it right there.
What? Wh-Who are you?
Litchi Faye-Ling. ﻿I practice medicine in this town.
Wh-What's a doctor doing with a weapon?
What business does a member of the NOL's Praetorian Guard have beyond this point?
Uh, um, I'm looking for someone.
He wears red clothes and has white hair...
I see. I thought as much.
You know him?
Yes. As well as the reason why the NOL wants to take his life.
﻿No matter who he is, it's a ﻿doctor's duty to protect patients!
P-Please wait a minute.
I-It's true that I'm a member of the Praetorian Guard,
﻿the reason I'm looking for him ﻿has nothing to do with my duties!
Then, what is your reason?
He saved me and I owe him my life, but we parted ways earlier.
You two are enemies, aren't you?
﻿No! I-In terms of what side ﻿we are on, we are, but he...
Um, he feels familiar somehow...
﻿But I have to see him!
Or else, bad things will happen to the people I care about!
﻿Please believe me! Be so kind!
Enough, I'm full!
﻿You have to eat more or ﻿you won't get better, meow!
﻿I ate! I ate plenty already!
There are limits to these things!
What's happened?
It's so loud in here.
﻿Oh? Boobie Lady?
Didn't ﻿go home already, meow?
﻿I'd intended to, but...
﻿You...
Uh, um...
﻿A reason came up, so I absolutely had to see you.
﻿A reason?
Hey! Your bandages have been undone!
Oh...
﻿Tao, I told you to make sure ﻿you watched him, didn't I?!
﻿Tao was watching him, meow!
﻿Tao warned him, but Good Guy ﻿took them off himself, meow!
﻿It's going to take a while for ﻿these wounds to completely...
You're kidding.
What was that about wounds?
﻿What? Quit staring at me.
I-I wasn't looking!
﻿You were totally looking!
Oh?
﻿I had thought to come save you, but...
﻿Perhaps there was no need.
Wh-Who are you?
﻿You smell good, meow!
You damn Rabbit!
﻿You're... Miss... Rachel?
Sustaining injuries upon injuries...
It's pathetic.
Whose fault do you think that is?!
﻿It's all because you left me ﻿in a place like that, right?!
﻿Tao's house has become so lively, meow!
﻿Sis Tao, no fair!
We wanna play, too!
Wanna play!
Wanna!
What?
O-Ow! Ow! Owowow!
It still hurts!
﻿Tao wants to play! Tao wants to play!
You seem to know a lot about him, little miss.
You will refer to her as "lady"!
You're being way too familiar!
﻿With the object of your search these ﻿many years right before your eyes...
How does it feel?
Litchi Faye-Ling.
H-How did you know that?
Who in the world are you?
Well, I am an old acquaintance of Kokonoe's.
Perhaps I will just leave it at that.
Of the Professor's?
I swear! They all just had to come barging in here!
﻿I told you, quit looking!
﻿If...
﻿If I don't look, I can't ﻿properly apply the bandage!
﻿So you're justifying it now?!
Ow!
﻿So, what's this reason that ﻿you absolutely had to see me?
What is your relationship with Major Jin Kisaragi?
You're asking about Jin?
He's enemy.
Isn't it obvious?
I know that!
But that's not all...
There's something...
What do you think it is?
I-I don't know...!
That's why I'm here asking you.
﻿You're a weird one.
I'm an enemy to you, too.
I-I...
You saw it, too, didn't you?
The Cauldron.
﻿I'm going smash that Cauldron, ﻿the NOL that's trying to stop me,
and above all, that bastard Terumi.
Um, by Terumi, you mean Mr. Hazama, right?
﻿Why...?
﻿"Why"? "Why", you ask?
﻿I told you that it's none of your business!
What's this?
You're not going to leave this time?
N-No, I'm not leaving.
﻿Because there's the matter ﻿c-concerning Major Kisaragi, too.
﻿If I don't ask you now, I think ﻿I'll regret it later for sure, so...
You must be tired from your long trip, Cap—
Special Advisor Hazama. Engineer Relius.
﻿Yes, thank you.
The 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi.
That is right.
All the players are in the process of gathering here.
﻿Hey, what all do you think you're bandaging?!
Wait for me, Brother.
I'll be there soon to kill you.
Despair, disappointment, hatred, sorrow, heartbreak...
I'll get to see the faces of all kinds of people writhing in the depths of their suffering.
Just show me blaze your mind
Only you destroy our world
Just show me blaze your brave
Make alter our memories
Go for it!
I believed
that even if the world were an empty illusion
I would look for a faint warmth
waiting for me somewhere
Don't look away now
It's time to come now
Look hard at me
I will free you from your grief
Don't be afraid of sorrow
I'll promise you
Endless reincarnation
I'm powerless
My memories course through my head like fog
Why do I fight?
I fight to protect you until the very end
You must obey the destiny
We're fated to be
We resign the destiny
guided by the voices
