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 truth different 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
Shin-lu!
No, don't come any closer! Someone is ordering me to fight you, Kai!
Someone is saying to!
Don't bother us anymore!
You bastard, why are you here?
This has nothing to do with you!
Shin-lu! Shin-lu! Are you all right?
I...
Let's go back, Shin-lu. You shouldn't be in a place like Gald.
Wait!
Hold off on taking her back to Ashurum.
What?
Until you know the reason why Shin-lu is acting so strangely.
Are you trying to say that the reason
might be at Ashurum or something?
That is...
What are you saying we can learn by staying here?
Shen-long!
Kai Kudou!
A fairly big nuisance has gotten in the way,
but how about we start getting back to the game?
Episode Nineteen As You Are Guided
Come on, now! It's no fun if you just run!
What, we're playing hide-and-go-seek now?
In that case, I'll take that building out along with you!
Okay, that's enough!
Sherry?
If you play around too much, Maxim will get mad at you again.
What are you say...
We've got a new mission. The mission's been changed.
The attacks... have stopped.
Where are Shen-long and Shin-lu?!
Shin-lu...
Where am I?
That's right...
Damn it...
I remember.
That irritating guy and that irritating girl came here,
to take Asuka...
Asuka!
If you're looking for her, she went upstairs just now.
She stayed by your side this whole time, up until just now.
Why are you here?
Didn't get away fast enough?
Yuuki!
Thank goodness, you're awake now.
Asuka.
Here you go, a change of clothes.
Hey, Yuuki...
What's the matter?
Would it be all right for me to go to Maria's place for a bit?
I promised her I would go.
What?!
What are you saying?!
You're not thinking that's just like going to
some neighbor's house to hang out, are you?!
Yuuki...
I don't know what kind of promise you made, but cancel it!
Cancel it!
But... but she saved us!
Yuuki, you haven't even thanked her yet!
Why are you getting so angry? I want to help Maria.
After all, it was Maria that tended to your wounds, Yuuki...
Hmm. Are you feeling guilty, or is this just an act?
Thanks for that.
Yuuki!
What? You said that I hadn't thanked her, so I did.
Yuuki...
What the hell... I guess I've got no choice...
Hey, can you get old man Erimiya to meet up with me one more time?
It's not like there's a problem with her having an escort, right?
We would welcome it.
You'd better. And if anyone tries anything funny,
I won't waste any time in taking Asuka home.
Well, that's how it is, so go and get some things packed.
Wait!
There's something else?
Won't it be bad if we're not here when Kai comes back?
Kai?
I completely forgot about him.
Well, it'll probably be all right if we write him a letter or something.
Asuka, write something like,
"We're going to go hang out at the guerillas' base for a little while!"
What is it? What?
Hurry up!
Kai!
I've been waiting this whole time for you to come and visit, Kai.
I even kept my promise!
I see.
But I wasn't lonely. And I was able to make a lot of friends.
Thank goodness.
Listen, Kai...
Hmm?
There's something I want to say to you, Kai...
Raphael!
Whoa! Wait a second!
Yay!
Wait up!
Let's meet again!
Kai!
Thank you!
Raphael...
Telepaths, huh?
Telepaths?
Why are you bringing that up?
I read about them in a book.
It's said that our powers are similar, yet different,
from the supernatural powers described in old documents.
Or they might be the exact same thing.
In that case, are there also psychics who can use telepathy?
It's said that there are.
Telepathy... it is both an exceptional power,
and at the same time,
one that outrivals the most destructive of powers.
The power to control the minds of men.
Control...
Well, it isn't like I've actually met one,
and while it may sound unreal, I don't believe that they DON'T exist.
The shape of your evolution...
might be the power that you all acquire from here on.
Psychics aren't the end of human evolution.
After all, they themselves will evolve in turn.
Evolution...
Wait up!
No way!
Don't get me wrong. It's not like I trust you.
Are you listening? Just because Asuka's taken kindly to you...
Yuuki!
This way.
She's not even listening.
Wow!
Asuka, don't go just mindlessly touching all the stuff over there!
So, where are we?
Are we supposed to be taking a break in a place like this?
Damn... What is this, the silent treatment?
I'm sorry.
I got you hurt. So... I'm sorry.
Wha?!
Don't tell me we took a detour to a place like this
just so you could say that!
Would it have been so hard to say something like that while we walked?!
I want you to join us
after you've been convinced of our organization's way of thinking.
Oh? That's fine. Go ahead and convince me.
Right here, right now.
She is...
Asuka is...
a psychic.
I can't believe it, just like that.
Listen!
I'm not going to.
You said that you would show me to where the old man is,
but you brought us here.
As a play for Asuka's sympathy, you trot out some fishy story
of wanting her to save someone important...
What are you saying I should trust?
If you're going to apologize, then start by not telling any more lies.
Not to Asuka, either.
Or else I'll take her back, straight away.
Here you are.
Thank you!
If I hadn't been ordered to,
I would never come to a place like this.
Don't be so testy.
Are you still worried about Double One Eight?
That's not it.
Sure, sure.
Let's make sure to search for her, just as were ordered to, okay?
You say that, but where is she?
Even if they tell us to tail her,
we can't do anything unless we find the target.
We'll find her soon.
It's times like this when you can rely on a woman's intuition.
Where's Eiji?
Why won't he come here?
The Chief was hurt in an accident, and is in the ICU right now.
No visitors are allowed, either.
Eiji's been hurt?! It can't be...
Just wait, Shin-lu.
You're hungry, aren't you?
I'm sorry, it's because I took us on a detour.
No, it's not your fault, Maria.
I haven't eaten anything since this morning, and...
Neither have I.
And so, do you mind if I treat you?
Do what you want.
Asuka, what do you want?
Hey, hey, Yuuki, you should...
I'm okay having just coffee.
What? Aren't you going to eat?
I'm saying that I can't eat if she's treating.
Yuuki!
It's not like I'm hungry,
so it's all right if I don't force myself to eat, right?
That's not it! That's not what I mean.
Meals should be pleasant and friendly!
I think that things taste better when it's like that.
Yuuki, why won't you be friends with Maria?
You're so kind, Asuka.
What? Me? I'm... I think that you and Yuuki are the kind ones...
That's why I want you to be friends.
Listen, Asuka. I know that I'm kind, but what part of this woman is...
I know she is!
That's the feeling I get...
I can feel it...
You say you feel it... in what way?
Like a breeze is caressing my hair...
When you're near, a gentle wind blows...
Also, there are also times when I can hear things riding the wind...
How long have you had that power?
What?
I will take your order.
Would you mind cutting the confusing and unsettling talk out?
If you don't, right this minute I'll...
That's right. I'm sorry...
To keep you waiting.
I'll have the crab and mushrooms in cream sauce.
What about you, Asuka?
Why you... you weren't apologizing to me?!
I wonder which one I should choose...
It looks like Yuuki isn't going to eat,
so let's order a lot of desserts to make up for that!
Okay!
When you think on and on and you still can't find an answer,
there's one thing to do.
Move ahead without thinking.
Consider what happens when it happens.
Man, all that thinking has made me hungry.
I guess I'll let you treat me!
Sheesh!
Umm, I'll take the pork sauté and...
What happened to your woman's intuition?
We haven't found her!
Found her.
Asuka! Yuuki!
What in the world happened?
Dear Kai,
Yuuki and I are going to a place called the "guerillas' base."
The room is a bit of a mess, but please don't worry.
The guerillas'... base?
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
Little by little, she's falling apart.
Shin-lu, Shin-lu!
I can't tell what she's feeling!
Her past, her memory, her personality, our mother.
To prevent anything else from being lost,
and so I can protect Shin-lu, I'm going to make myself stronger!
