信じてるものを 強く引き寄せる
Shinjiteru mono wo tsuyoku hikiyoseru
I hold what I believe in close to me
凍えた眼差しも 守ってあげるから
Kogoeta manazashi mo mamotte ageru kara
Even your cold stare is safe under my care
願いは緋の螺旋に 舞い降りてく
Negai wa hi no rasen ni maioriteku
My wish dances down in a scarlet spiral

ちっぽけなモノ 映さない空
Chippoke na mono utsusanai sora
The sky does not reflect the meek
独り走れば 怖くなかった
Hitori hashireba kowaku nakatta
But I was not afraid if I ran alone
ここで明日を裏切れば
Koko de ashita wo uragireba
If I betray my future here
もう何処にも行かれない
Mou doko ni mo ikarenai
I will have no place to go
現在 罪に 彷徨う街
Ima tsumi ni samayou machi
I wander the city, lost in my sins
ただ求めて 光を
Tada motomete hikari wo
The light is all I long for
信じてるものを 強く引き寄せる
Shinjiteru mono wo tsuyoku hikiyoseru
I hold what I believe in close to me
凍えた眼差しも 守ってあげるから
Kogoeta manazashi mo mamotte ageru kara
Even your cold stare is safe under my care
両手に握った 想いは“輝き”
Ryoute ni nigitta omoi wa kagayaki
The feelings I hold in my hands shine brilliantly
終わらない調べが 真実に届くまで
Owaranai shirabe ga hontou ni todoku made
Until this endless investigation leads to the truth
アタシという微熱で 撃ち抜いてく
Atashi to iu binetsu de uchinuiteku
I will keep firing my flames at you
Damn it...

Kin-chan!
How's your cold? Your fever?
Does your head hurt?
U-Uh...
I feel just fine.
That's good.
That's good...
You don't have to cry.
Okay!
Oh yeah.
Thanks for this.
I got better because you bought it for me.
This Extra Thick Pueraria Syrup.
Well...
Shirayuki?
What's wrong?
Nah...
It's nothing.
My room got fortified, I caught a cold,
and now the girls are walking around dressed like that...
I'm steadily losing safe zones.
Kinji.
Ow!
Sheesh, can't you perform a successful edge catch at least once?
They say Durandal has a sword that can cut through steel.
This training has an important purpose!
You came here just so I could practice this?
I'm actually pretty busy.
Kinji, I have a job for you.
Check all of the texts in Shirayuki's cell after school.
Huh? Why?
Durandal apparently sends threatening texts to his targets before kidnapping them.
Shirayuki might receive one.
You really think I can do that?
There's no way Shirayuki would let me.
Besides, she'll tell me if anything happens-
Wait, why aren't you guarding Shirayuki?
Reki's standing guard for me.
She's just part-timing though.
She's representing Japan as a sniper in Adseard, so she's quite busy.
Hey, are you listening?!
I am!
You know, you should be more concerned with your partner's condition!
Well...
Lemme rest once in a while.
I just recovered from being sick.
Because a certain someone dropped me into Tokyo Bay on a cold night.
I'm sorry. I did think I went too far.
Well, enough about my cold.
I got well thanks to the Extra Thick Pueraria Syrup Shirayuki bought.
Huh? Shirayuki did?
Yeah, thank goodness she's thoughtful about things like that.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
I'm glad you got better.
What? Say it if you have something to say.
This isn't like you.
What?! Who cares!
I'm not gonna say what I don't want to say!
Good for you! Shirayuki looked after you when you were sick!
Why don't you just marry her then?!
Why do I have to?
But what else?!
You're supposed to be her bodyguard, but you were s-s-stripping each other...
You're unbelievable!
I already said you got it all wrong!
I did? How?!
Show me some proof if that's the case!
Show proof of it if you insist on something.
That's what Butei do!
Come on, come on, come on!
You're supposed to be my slave, stupid Kinji!
Stupid Kinji, stupid Kinji, stupid Kinji!
How about you show me some of that proof you keep talking about?!
What do you mean?
Proof that Durandal exists!
We've been guarding Shirayuki these past few days, but nothing dangerous happened!
Our enemy, this Durandal, doesn't exist!
That's not true!
He exists!
That's just a delusion born from your desires!
You just want Durandal to exist at the mere mention of his name because you want to save your mother, Kanae-san, so much.
Eventually, you deluded yourself to think that he exists...
No!
Durandal exists!
My instinct tells me he's about to make his move!
Then show me proof that'll convince me!
You're always too forceful with your own prejudiced assumptions!
You're no different.
You say things just like everyone else.
I know that the enemy is approaching Shirayuki.
But I'm not able to explain it logically like my great-grandfather would have!
That's why everyone calls me a Holmes bloodline defect and won't believe me.
But it's what my instinct tells me!
I try so hard to convince you, but why?
Why won't you believe me?!
How can I believe an enemy is approaching if he doesn't even exist?!
I'll guard Shirayuki by myself until Adseard is over.
You should go somewhere and cool...
You... You... You...
You... You damn idiot!
Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot!
Kinji, you idiot!
Idiot Nobel prize winner!
Student Council
What?
You'll be my sole bodyguard from now on?
Really?
Aria started it against my will, but it's a promise after all.
Kin-chan'll protect me...
A promise...
I'm so happy.
Aren't you worried?
About having an E-rank Butei like me for a bodyguard...
Not at all.
I trust you.
Once again, Kin-chan, please protect me.
Okay?
Y-Yeah.
By the way, the other student council members aren't coming today?
Is that okay, with all the preparations for tomorrow's Adseard?
Yeah. It's pretty much all done, so they're taking a break.
I think they're all heading to the fireworks show about now.
Fireworks show?
Fireworks Festival
It's to be held in Tokyo Lucky Land.
They've been saying that they wanted to go.
What? So as council president, you're the only one who stayed behind?
They invited me as well...
But I can't go.
You can't? Why?
I can't leave the school or the shrine without permission.
Miko of the Hotogi are sheltered.
We must spend our entire lives in the shrine.
If we have to venture out, it must be kept to an absolute minimum.
But you're right here!
No, they strongly opposed my coming to Butei High.
That's why I can't anger the Hotogi any further.
Shirayuki...
I'll wrap this up right away, so wait just a bit.
But Shirayuki...
That means you're no different from before.
You're still a caged bird.
Shirayuki, we're taking a detour.
Let's go to the fireworks show.
But I can't leave the school...
You should enjoy yourself once in a while.
I'll go with you.
K-Kin-chan, you're coming too?
Yeah. I'm your bodyguard, after all.
Okay!
We aren't talking very much.
But I've been avoiding talking to girls alone up until now...
U-Um...
We can already hear the sound of the fireworks.
Oh...
I'm really looking forward to them.
Yeah.
Kin-chan, you aren't bored or anything, right?
No, not really.
I don't talk to guys very much, so I'm sorry I don't have anything interesting to say.
Don't worry about it.
I'm just the same.
Okay!
It's like I'm dreaming.
The fireworks ended already.
Sorry, I didn't double-check the time.
No, it's not your fault, Kin-chan.
Besides...
Whether there are fireworks or not, whether we're at the beach at night or at home...
Just being with you is enough.
Shirayuki, are you cold?
You are, right?
Wear this and wait for me.
You have a new message.

Shirayuki.
Shirayuki, what's wrong?
Kin-chan.
Did something happen?
N-No.
Your jacket has your smell, so it's like you were right with me.
It doesn't smell of gunpowder?
No, I like the smell.
You're weird.
Anyway, here.
Kin-chan.
Hmm? What?
Fireworks are so pretty.
Yeah.
Kin-chan, do you like fire?
I like them this way, but I'd probably be scared of large flames.
It's human instinct, after all.
I see.
It finished burning.
Yeah...
I predicted Kin-chan's future with Miko cards the other day.
Oh? What were the results?
It said you would disappear.
Disappear?
It said you would disappear from where you are now.
Does that mean I'm transferring schools?
I'm thinking that Aria is going to take you away somewhere.
That won't happen.
But Aria has changed you.
You've been happier since you met her...
Shirayuki...
Kin-chan, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
H-Hey, why are you apologizing?
I've always wanted to repay you for taking me with you to the outside world...
But...
Kin-chan, please, it doesn't matter if it's just this once.
Just this once, have eyes...
Have eyes only for me.
Kiss me.
Man, it's so pretty!
The Dragon! Let's do the Dragon next!
Yeah, leave it to me!
Uh...
Sorry.
Let's head back.
Adseard Tokyo Butei High Festival
Nothing out of the ordinary today either.
Looking back at it, this has been an easy mission.
Tohyama-kun.
Mutou-kun's been sulking.
About when you'll take over from him at the reception.
It's already time for that?
She should be fine with this many people around.
Shirayuki.
I'll be taking over from Mutou at the reception.
Okay, got it.
See you later.
Okay.

Kin-chan, I'm sorry.
Goodbye.
Shirayuki?
Tohyama!
T-Tsuzuri-sensei.
Where's Hotogi?
Shirayuki should be at the student council tent-
I wouldn't be looking for her if she was!
Did Hotogi receive any texts recently?
She should've if he's involved!
Think!
He?
Durandal apparently sends threatening texts to his targets before kidnapping them.
Durandal?!
Hey, Tohyama!
What do you mean, "goodbye"?!
Shirayuki, answer.
Please, answer your phone!
Damn it!
Aria.
Why isn't she answering either?!
Damn it!
What was I doing?!
Shirayuki asked me to protect her.
And this is what I do?!
Aria even tried so hard to convince me Shirayuki was in danger.
If only I had trusted Aria's instinct...
If only I hadn't distanced myself from her...
I could've protected Shirayuki.
Damn it!
Where is she?!
Aria?!
No.
This is Reki.
I've received intel that our client, Shirayuki-san, has vanished.
That's right!
Help me find her!
Please calm down.
One's ability decreases by half when one loses one's cool.
That's how you are right now.
Have you managed to calmed down?
Yeah.
Reki, any sightings of Shirayuki?
I saw her near the Logi-only hangar 12 minutes ago.
That's not a place Shirayuki would go.
Reki, anything out of the ordinary there?
Anything will do.
The door to the third Logi equipment warehouse is open.
It's a rarely used warehouse, so that's unusual.
So the third equipment warehouse.
I'll go check.
Doesn't look like anyone's here.
That elevator...
Where does it lead to?
Third Equipment Warehouse Floor Plan
You can't be serious.
Flammable
Firearms Prohibited
Are you there, Durandal?
I've fulfilled my end of the bargain.
Yeah.
I won't hurt the people at Butei High.
Especially Tohyama Kinji.
What do you want with me?
Shirayuki!
I don't possess any noteworthy abilities.
You're too modest.
You're a diamond in the rough.
It's only natural to reach out to such poorly-protected diamonds.
This is bad.
I might set the gunpowder off if I use my gun.
Do you remember...
...that phone call I made?
Kin-chan's... voice...
With just a single trigger, you and Tohyama acted just as I had predicted...
...and that problematic Holmes left you both.
Follow me, Shirayuki.
I'll take you to a place more suited for you.
The EU.
Shirayuki!
Kin-chan!
Step aside, Shirayuki!
No, run-
Damn it!
I can't m-
Kin-chan!
N-No, stop!
What are you doing?!
Shirayuki!
Are you really in a position to worry about others?
You're pathetic.
Well, you served your purpose, considering you're stupid Kinji.
Durandal, for the crime of attempting to kidnap a minor...
I arrest you!

Hey Kinji, doesn't "Durandal" sound like "beach sandal"?
You're pretty random as of late.
It's strange.
Beach sandals remind me of the summer, but he uses the power to freeze...
What a contradiction!
What's wrong? People eat shaved ice in the summer.

Ooh, I see!
I expected no less from my Slave No. 1!
Good reasoning indeed!
The biggest contradiction would probably be the fact that you're a descendant of Holmes.
