Tokyo Chiyoda Ward Secret Underground Road
A road like this should be used for everyone to evacuate!
So, the government foresaw things would come to this?
If so, why did turn its back on its own people?
Tokyo Chiyoda Ward
Yo, Hibiki.
Chiyoda Ward Diet Building
This is under the Diet Building?
Impossible!
This is the Byakko's summoner?
Sir!
Monday of Upheaval - I
Hey! Please open up.
You're okay doing this to minors?! Hey!
Why did they have to capture us?
Because we called forth that demon.
Nitta...
I'm sure our mothers are worried.
I bet this is some kind of mistake.
They'll clear things up soon.
Hibiki...
What's happened to us?
Why was only I brought here?
Because I want you alone to know the truth.
What is this? What are they doing?
We are a secret organization attached to the Japanese government,
the Japan Meteorological Agency: JP's.
I am Commander Makoto Sako.
JP's?
JP's has long overseen Japan's barriers, protected its distinguished citizens.
Barriers?
Defense systems composed of spiritual energy.
If they ceased to be maintained, it would allow various enemies to invade.
Enemies? From foreign countries?
No.
They're difficult for the layperson to perceive, but they definitely exist...
The anomalous races.
Like, ghosts and demons?
They're called different names, but for now, you may regard them as such.
Up till now, there's no way I could have believed this. But...
I summoned a demon and fought.
Yes.
You summoned Byakko, an Avatar and one of
the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations.
It's no small fry a commoner can call forth.
This is JP's bureau chief.
Yamato Hotsuin.
I'm the one who called you here.
Hibiki Kuze: No summoner at the
Tokyo bureau can call forth anything to match it.
It's not like that power...
Is something you wanted, eh?
The power to call forth demons...
It exists.
There have been various methods to summon demons since antiquity.
We've broken down "sorcery" into mathematical formulae
and successfully made use of the demons.
The Demon Summoning app!
Naturally, it's not something the general public should possess.
Why was something that dangerous put on our cell phones?
We don't know the source.
We're still looking into it.
We've been preparing for the calamity of today.
So, you knew that something like that would happen?
Then you could have warned people, had them evacuate, right?
That would have caused undue panic and interfered with our operations.
That's selfish, isn't it?
It's our only choice right now.
To think, you all have this facility but aren't helping anyone...
Just what are you up to?
The one you defeated today was nothing more than a small fry.
Six enemies remain.
We have six days.
Unless we defeat all enemies that manifest,
our world will be eaten away...
and disappear.
Disappear?
Just as he said. The world will be no more.
And who are these enemies?
The aggressors...
Septentrion.
The Septentrion are of a different world.
They can only be defeated through demonic power.
You have that power.
Won't you help us?
Obey me, Hibiki Kuze.
As the report said,
this is completely different from our Demon Summoning program.
What is this doing in the hands of the general public?
Beats me. I can't get hold of Prof. Kanno either,
so right now we're at a standstill.
It assesses the user's ability and converts that to a figure.
That's then used to bid at a "Demon Auction."
What a ghastly interface.
Don't use it carelessly!
That's much more intense than ours.
Unless you're a powerful summoner, any demon that appears will kill you!
Just who made this thing?
Dubhe has been defeated.
What do you think?
Was it luck?
Or was that also human potential?
An organization that has prepared for war...
The power to summon demons and use them as weapons...
Kuze?
Did I wake you? Sorry.
No.
Did you sleep a little?
Yes.
What...
will to happen to us?
Nothing will happen.
If we do nothing, that is.
What do you mean?
It means this is over with.
They just wanted to inspect our cell phones.
Oh, really? Thank goodness.
We will be released.
But...
This world will be eaten away...
and disappear.
If that's true...
There's nowhere to run, is there?
Hibiki, they're really gonna let us go home, right?
Yeah.
Thank goodness.
I'll take you two to Ariake.
That's the deal.
Huh? "Deal"?
Kuze, what's going on?
It's not like I made a deal.
I just said that unless they release you two unharmed,
I couldn't possibly imagine cooperating with them.
Wait a minute! "Cooperate"?
You plan to stay with them?
Hey, Hibiki!
I have the power to fight.
Hibiki...
You can study, but that doesn't mean you
have to be good at fighting, right?

Yamato Hotsuin
The heck is this?
It seems our road info is mixed up.
Let's look for another route.
I'll go on my own.
Nitta! What are you saying?
You can't walk there. We'll give you a ride.
It's fine.
Let's...
Let's at least go to the emergency shelter together.
If it's close to Ariake, we could get some information.
Kuze...
Y-Yeah, that's right.
We should stay together.
Miss Sako, will the car be all right?
Yes, it's fine.
Tokyo Chuo Ward
The trains aren't running and we're not getting any news.
I wonder how the other areas are.
If only we could use the Net...
This way, Mr. Devil!
Hey, quiet down! This way, Mr. Devil!
I'm gonna go walk and take a look.
I see. Take care.
Yeah.
I'll go check upstairs.
Understood.
We'll be there soon.
Um, you can help these people evacuate, right?
JP's is neither police nor firefighters.
We have a mission of our own.
Don't you think you're only helping yourselves?
Uh, never mind.
This is as far as I can take you.
I'm sorry you got dragged into this.
I'll give these back.
We've rigged them to connect to a special JP's line.
If something happens, contact us.
All right then. Be careful.
I'm telling you, demons did this!
What are you talking about?
I saw them. Demons eating humans!
The demons caused this whole disaster!
Actually, I also--
Stop it already!
You learn anything?
No.
This is going nowhere.
Um, do you know what's happened in Ariake?
No, I don't.
Right now, all you can see there is dirt clouds.
I'll get something to drink.
Okay.
I'm doing it, if it will help us.
Please.
Please!
Thank you!
I got some.
Good job. If you hang in there, God will provide.
Yeah!
God, huh?
Mom, I wanna go home!
Mother!
A demon!
No!
Brother!
I can't count on anyone else. Think.
What's the best thing I can do?
Byakko! Take that thing outside!
What's that?
Byakko!
Hibiki!
Byakko!
Dammit. Hibiki! I'll help you!
Huh?
What's this? "Under repair"?
Hibiki!
Daichi, get out of here with the others.
Idiot! How could I leave you here?!
I'll be fine. I have Byakko.
No matter how strong that thing is, why do you have to fight?
Everything was normal up till yesterday.
We're just high-school students, right?
Why did all this happen?!
Looking away now...
will lead to regret!
Hibiki!
There's more? There's no end to them!
You okay?
Miss Sako! What's that?
It's a Divine, a Power in my employ.
More importantly, I don't see any summoners.
A cell phone must be running amuck somewhere.
Then I'll handle things here.
Please do.
True enough, I didn't want this power.
But if I can help save others, then running away...
is something I can't do!
Situation contained.
Nitta!
Where's Kuze?
He stood up?!
Now he'll attack US, too?
"Big brother"!
Thank you!
Hibiki Kuze.
You are wise indeed.
The world could disappear?
I still don't really understand.
But if my power can be of use, if I can fight in to help others...
I'll do everything I can.
We're grateful for your help, too.
W-We heard the details.
The world's in trouble, huh?
So you finally understand?
I can't leave Hibiki on his own!
I...
When Kuze was fighting, there was nothing I could do.
I just cried.
There's no way that's right!
It's fine. Thank you, Nitta.
So, what do we all do now?
Makoto.
Sir.
Put it on the main monitor!
Prof. Fumi Kanno.
She's the scientist in charge of JP's security and summoning systems.
Huh? That girl is?
She was on standby at the Osaka main office,
but she disappeared at the same time the Septentrion showed up.
She had an accident?
That's not possible.
Losing Prof. Kanno hinders our upcoming plans.
You all will join our search party and find her.
Those are your first orders.
Hey.
What do you want now?
We have no more use for you.
That's true, isn't it?
Incidentally, are you all right not keeping him by your side?
There's no need, if they seem the type to not die easily.
Oh, really? So you have high hopes.
Then maybe I'll be hopeful as well...
For something new that sparkles.
Somewhere in Nagoya
Per the covenant of antiquity...
JP's has finally moved to action, eh?
Yamato Hotsuin.
I won't let things go as you want, bastard.
Our plan shall now be set in motion.
Welcome to Osaka!
Sitting around won't accomplish anything, will it? Welcome to Osaka!
Sitting around won't accomplish anything, will it? The attacks are from all over Japan!
Sitting around won't accomplish anything, will it?
There's nowhere to run, is there?
So the second one is targeting us here, eh? There's nowhere to run, is there?
So the second one is targeting us here, eh?
I'll go look!
Nitta!
Idiot!
Brainwashed by the enemy.
No matter what happens, I'll protect them both.
