In order to discover the truth
The evening news doesn't tell you
How many things aren't broadcast
Who loses
Who is obtaining it, and for whose sake
Being pure is a beautiful and dangerous thing
The world that surrounds us won't show itself
All it does is force a different truth from yesterday's on us
At the very least, I will try to change the feeling of the reality that is right in front of me
Into something certain, surely
What's wrong?
If we don't go soon, Shin-Lu's going to finish by herself.
Just now, there was a person down there.
You were seeing things.
Eiji said that the citizenry had been allowed to evacuate, right?
Ruri...
I want to make sure.
I'm going to try and head down there.
Kai!
Episode Three The Arrow That Has Been Loosed
There's no response from the West district.
This is North One B dist...
It's no use. There's no response!
Both the North and the West districts may have been taken out.
Well, they're carrying pretty serious equipment, aren't they?
We're done here! All remaining personnel,
reinforce the underground warehouse at South One A!
The underground warehouse at South One A?
With this, even if the people who evacuated come back,
they won't be able to return to their previous lives.
Gald was an abandoned city to begin with.
You don't have to worry.
I'm sure that after this, it'll be rebuilt and easier to live in than right now.
There really isn't anyone around.
Let's go back already.
But...
In any case, we have to meet up with Shin-Lu, or else...
I heard something.
Kai!
Wait there! Kai!
Wait there!
Kai...
Mother?
Thank goodness you're okay.
Who are you, big brother?
I'm going to save you now.
Be sure to hold tight.
Kai and Ruri are late!
The mission start time passed ages ago!
I wonder what they're doing?
I wonder if they're lost?
I wonder what I should do?
For now, maybe I'll go to South One A.
Kai...
Who's that girl?
She was locked away in a cabinet underneath the floor.
Is there any water around?
Water?
Earlier, when we were looking down from above, I saw an open area with a fountain, but...
Thanks, Ruri.
I'm going to get some water, so please watch her for a bit.
I don't think anything good will come from saving a human, though.
Kai left his gun...
Kai...
There's no water coming out.
Give back my child!
Oh, no... I...
Damned psychic!
Fire!
Ruri...
Ruri!
So there's more of you?
What are you planning on doing to my child?
Why...
Why did you do this to Ruri?
Don't come any closer!
Why?
It's because you don't really know how the psychics outside of Ashurum
are being treated by other humans that you're able to be so wishy-washy!
They're psychics!
If we don't kill them, they'll kill us!
Please stop it...
Fire!
Stop it!
Just now... I... I...
Did I do this?
The god of death, that holds the light of rebirth.
Just as the reversed card shows,
right now this one is insecure, and is yet incomplete, but...
If I hadn't said that I wanted to come down here...
If I hadn't asked Ruri to watch that girl...
I killed Ruri.
And they came to feel just like they were in heaven.
It would be nice if there really was a gingerbread house!
You like this story, don't you, Hikaru?
Is it because you're fond of the gingerbread house?
No, but... Well, there is that, but...
Gretel has a big brother too, right?
That's why.
Would you like for me to make a gingerbread house for you next time?
Really?
I promise.
Wow! I'm so happy!
Will it be in time for the next time my big brother visits?
Unfortunately, that's impossible.
Is my big brother having a hard time with his work?
Kai has trouble with sweets, so much that he'd rather die, right?
If he went into a gingerbread house, he'd pass out.
Oh, yeah.
Yes... yes... I understand.
I'm sorry, they're calling me.
What? You're going already?
I have to think of the design for the gingerbread house, after all.
See you later.
Big brother Eiji...
Hansel and Gretel?
The captive siblings go into the gingerbread house cage...
The South One A warehouse means this underground plant, right?
It can't be helped, I guess I'll do this by myself.
Hey, Shen-Lon!
They told us to take psychics into custody, but everyone else is just a criminal.
All we have to do is call it legitimate self-defense and that's all there is to it.
I wonder...
That's not all there is to it!
More importantly, the mission's over, right?
Let's head back to the Ardrah already.
I don't want to stay in this place for long.
But it's so strange...
What is it, Tsubaki?
We can't make contact with Kai's group.
Maybe they've already finished and headed back ahead of us?
Ow!
Hey, hey, it's dangerous for you to play in a place like this.
I'm sorry.
Hey, that uniform's...
They're all misses! You're just wasting your bullets!
An easy victory!
What is this?
An incredible feeling of oppression...
They're all weak, including Kai.
After all, they've got the girl team.
It was easier there than it was over here, right?
Don't lump Shin-Lu in with that good-for-nothing!
So it's true.
The psychics from Ashurum are...
Shen-Lon?!
Hey, what's going on?
Shin-Lu is...
What should we do, Tsubaki?
Dummy! Contact Eiji!
Shin-Lu...
Is it all right to leave her alive?
They said to wait until Mr. Erimiya arrives.
This is...
Shin-Lu!
You bastards, don't think you won't pay for this!
Shin-Lu... What in the world...
Another one of Ashurum's...
Fire!
Damn it!
I hate you humans!
He's just a boy! Don't back off!
I said that I hate you!
Shin-Lu! Shin-Lu!
Big sister!
Shen-Lon...
Kai...
This is horrible!
What in the world are you doing, Shen-Lon?!
Kai, where's Ruri?
"What are you doing," you say?
What the heck were you two doing? Did you get separated?!
Didn't you hear me?!
I'm asking what you were doing, abandoning your mission, Kai!
So you can't answer?
You put Shin-Lu into a dangerous situation...
You're annoying me!
Please stop it!
Let go of me!
Hurting people any more than this...
What nonsense are you talking about?!
You too!
After I kill them, your turn is next!
Shen-Lon!
Stop it already, please! Doing something like this...
That's the thing about you that makes me mad.
Even though you're weak,
even though you don't have the power to protect yourself,
all you say is "I don't want to hurt people" and other idealistic nonsense!
He counterattacked?
Have you finally recognized what the true use of this power is?
That's not it! That's not...
Then what is it?
That's...
Kai, I'll make you realize how pitiful it is to be powerless.
Shen-Lon...
I'm sorry, Kai,
for treating you like a good-for-nothing up until now.
You have plenty of dangerous abilities.
You guys!
If you don't hurry up and leave, I'll... I'll kill your friend!
Stop it!
Get away from Shin-Lu!
Do you understand? This is what humans are!
Shen-Lon...
You're a psychic like us!
You're different from them.
Despite that, you want to live with them looking down on you?
At their mercy?
What are you planning on doing? Cut it out, Shen-Lon.
Living in secrecy while they treat us like monsters!
You've got to be kidding!
What are you guys muttering at each other?!
Hurry up and go away!
Don't touch Shin-Lu!
Kai, Shin-Lu will probably cry if I kill you, but...
Shen-Lon!
This is bye-bye...
Grandfather!
The Seventh District has completely collapsed.
Ruri Hisaishi is dead.
Kai Kudou, Shin-Lu Belvedere, and Shen-Lon Belvedere are all missing.
Oh, man, those two...
And I'd even split them into groups so they wouldn't cause trouble.
He is awakening.
How do you feel, Maxim?
No ill effects.
He said that he's going to make a green pea potage soup today.
So don't eat it all, okay?
Good morning! I'm glad you've gotten better.
You can rest easy now.
I don't feel the sadness and pain I felt when I found you.
What? What's wrong?
Who? There's someone here?
The two of us had already started to get wet from the rapidly pouring rain
We snuck out in a hurry, throwing away everything
We wrapped our fingers together so that no one else could see it
That's our secret sign
So take me away from here, take me right away
Tonight midnight
So don't stop anymore, touch me right away
Tonight, it's true love
The night that can't return is going to begin
Double One Eight.
That is a number that indicates the truth.
And it is a binding chain.
No matter where you try to go, no matter where you try to live,
you will never be able to escape me, Kai.
