That is the "transform" ability...
She's not some sort of weapon.
She's just a girl who grew up in a slightly different world.
I heard that the girl isn't actually complete as a weapon yet.
Which means that sooner is better if you want to attack her.
So, what're you gonna do?
So, what're you going to do now?
It's easy!
I'll make a lot of noise so that they'll notice.
Then, Torneo'll probably use Eve...
So, that's when you'll attack her!
That's when I'll rescue her.
That's how it always starts... under the azure sky
After making a vow, I now set off
Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue (The wind is scorching)
I'm searching for a diamond flower (I keep on wandering)
Now, for the first time in my life,
I live for someone else
There's something I wanna protect
I'll never, ever lose it again
Resound, my heartbeat!
A heartbeat smaller and fragile, but tougher than anyone's.
She's still incomplete in a number of areas.
We need to intensify her training a bit.
In addition, we must not damage the product!
Tighten security so that she can never escape again!
Yes, sir!
Really, a hit product always comes with troubles...
I am...
...a weapon.
"Smiling Cat"
Okay...
I see. Those're some airtight defenses...
What'd you find out?
It looks like the guards are all inside of the premises.
I saw more than 10 while scanning the premises.
They've spread out infrared rays above the fences.
As expected, it doesn't look like it'll be easy to get in...
Then, I guess we'll force open the front gate and make some noise.
What? How are we gonna open it!?
Well, just watch.
What're you doing?
Hey, it's not exploding.
You think I'd just suddenly throw a bomb?
Okay, so?
Wha-?
H- Hey! What the hell!?
Looks like it worked... the "here kitty kitty" bomb.
Huh?
It seems there's some noise out front...
Wh-what's with all these cats!?
Where did they come from?!
--Shoo, shoo! --Go away!
Okay, let's make some noise!
This is ridiculous! Oh, whatever!!
Him again!
Hey! Thanks to your "kitty kitty" whatever, now Black Cat is here too!
Don't be stupid!
Intruders! Shoot! Shoot!
If I don't find Eve before he does...
he'll definitely kill her!
Black Cat'll definitely kill her this time!
Hey! Hey! I'll leave Black Cat to you!
I'll go find the nanotechnology data!
Got it.
Be careful!
You too!!
What's going on?
Torneo-sama! We have intruders!
Intruders!?
Black Cat... S- so, this is what one of Chronos' erasers can do!
Calm down, Flit. It's just a stray cat who wandered in!
Torneo-sama...
Something's going on in the basement...
The basement lab! Check it right away!
Yes, sir!
It's so quiet it's giving me the creeps.
Man, I'm pathetic!
He's fighting all those enemies
while breaking all those security cameras!
On top of that, he's also looking for Eve's room.
Even still, I'm falling behind rather than catching up with him!
If I don't do something, Eve will...
Eve will be...
...killed by him!
I can't help it. I guess I'll use the right eye...
Vision Eye!
I wonder what this suspicious security lock is for...
Tada! I spent a lot of money on this special card key,
so it'd better open it...
There we go!
Eve, your prey's here.
Prey?
That's right, it's your prey.
He's an assassin called Black Cat, who snuck into my vacation home the other day.
He's after you.
But you're it.
It...
That's right. You're it!
I'm... it.
You're it...
It!
It...
Understand? You're it, so you hunt the prey!
Damn Eve!
She's just a bio-weapon, but she's started developing a sense of self!?
Torneo-sama! He'll be here any moment!
Got that, Eve!? You're it! You kill the prey!
This is...
Who did this?
"Tips on how to make rolled omelets without turning it into toxic waste"?
What the heck is this?
Tearju Lunatique...
If I remember correctly, she's an authority on nanotechnology...
H- he's approaching Eve's room at unbelievable speed!
It's only a matter of time...
Flit, have the "NS amplifying oscillator" ready!
But, that's still not ready yet...
Yes, sir! Understood!
All right, I'm ready for you!
I'll show you what my work on nanotechnology weapons has produced!
He's here!
What is this place!? It's just like a monster museum!
Let's see...
"Nanotechnology composition through the ingestion of G-cells".
And, this one says, "Fusion of cytoskeleton genes
ingested with OD weapons and nanotechnology"?
Looks like they've been doing all sorts of God-knows-what experiments...
Well...
Now, shall we go?
I promised you... that we'll go out for good food, remember?
It's a piece of candy. It's sweet, isn't it?
Do you like it?
O- okay, then! Let's go eat something that tastes better!
Let me see, hamburger steak...
You know, we'd better get out of here soon, otherwise...
Are you all right!? Are you all right!?
Don't scare me like that!
You have to keep the candy in your mouth until it becomes smaller, okay?
Wh- what is it? H- hey! Hey!
My handkerchief...
Ice cream...
She ate it, and...
...used this... handkerchief...
...to wipe her...
Oh, no! I don't want you to use that handkerchief!
He's here!
Go, Eve! It's time to play tag!
Don't, Eve!
I smell blood...
I'm it... I'm it... I'm it...
...the ultimate bio-weapon...
S- so, this is...
Now, Eve! Take down Black Cat immediately!
You're it!
I'm it...
Don't listen to him, Eve! You're not it!
What're you doing!? Kill Black Cat already!!
Shut up, Torneo! I won't let her kill anyone!
Ha! Looks like a rat wandered in along with the cat...
I'm not a rat! I'm a sweeper!
Sweeper...
C'mon, Eve! Let's go eat good food!
Good food...
I can't allow that. I'm sorry, but I have to kill her...
Hmph... So you just do whatever your owner tells you?
You saw it, right? She's dangerous.
You kill dangerous people, even if they're children, huh?
Man, Chronos is really... disgusting!!
Let's go!
Eve, what're you doing? Kill Black Cat now!!
Don't tell me you're running away with that rat?
I see...
Eve!
--Flit! --Yes, sir!
What're you doing!? Do it!
B- but...
Torneo! What're you doing to Eve!?
That card causes the nanomachines in Eve's body to go out of control.
What!?
Eve! Kill Black Cat!
Don't, Eve!
Don't let him get away, Eve!
Flit, take away his briefcase...
Y- yes, sir!
Since you don't need it any more...
What a brave sweeper you are, risking your life to come and see Eve...
What do you want with Eve?
What are you planning to do with Eve!?
Oh? That's a silly question...
Eve is a product of my research and my property.
What happens to Eve is no one's business but mine.
Eve isn't a human. She's a "weapon".
Are you saying that Eve will become a monster!?
What're you saying? She always has been a monster.
Now, enough chatter. I think it's about time for you to die...
What are you doing?
Where... am I?
What the heck's going on here!?
What!?
Now, Rins!!
What is this!?
What the heck is going on!?
No time to explain!
Eve will... Eve will become a monster!!
Th- this is... Eve!?
Stop it, Eve!
It's no use. No matter what you say to Eve now, she won't hear it.
No one can stop her until she kills Black Cat...
No one can...
Ha! Even in times like this, a gentleman... doesn't give up!!
What!?
Wait! What're you gonna do!?
Hold on, Eve!
Soon...
I'll soon bring you back to your old self!!
So, it was a failure...
Torneo-sama!
The basement lab is-!
The lab?
My life... turned to ashes...
It's dangerous, Torneo-sama!
Did you do that?
No way... When I arrived at the lab, it was already destroyed...
Destroyed? Black Cat?
Maybe...
But, you were planning to destroy it, too, right?
It wasn't for money this time, right?
I didn't really mean to hide it from you, but...
The place where that military facility holding nanotechnology collapsed...
Some time before that incident, I lived in that area for a little while.
It was a peaceful town with pretty flowers...
I see...
More importantly, what're you gonna do with her?
What!? Black Cat!
Y- you!
I don't shoot if I don't wanna shoot... Yes, that's the right answer!
He...
Train Heartnet...
Although the event he staged was a bit flashy,
apparently he's succeeded.
It looks like it took a little longer than usual, too...
When pursuing a mission, it has to be carried out efficiently and faithfully...
Time and effort should not be wasted.
Things worked out all right in the end.
Everything went well. That's good enough, isn't it?
Good evening!
What?
Did something good happen?
Not really...
I see...
Oh yeah, I haven't asked you your name, have I?
The stars in the night sky are my tears
Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!
Please stop time tonight!
Please show yourself, even if just a little
Around the time the first evening star appears, I hear footsteps approaching
The only time I can see you is when the moon is shining
Please let me dream a little
'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning
Even though I know it, I still feel lonely
The stars in the night sky are my tears
You held me in your arms and your passionate lips met mine
Please don't let go of me
I'm about to melt in your arms
But morning is almost here
Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!
I pray to you, please stop time
"Next Episode" Everything I see and hear is new to me.
But, there seem to be a lot of difficulties in the outside world, too.
The man who came to kill me before
said he was going to leave the organization.
I wonder if it has something to do with the fact
that he didn't shoot me that time...
Ah! Ramen!
"Cat Makes a Decision" Ah! Ramen!
