Red Needle!
That's...
Roda, to the right!
Gauche...
One Unable to Become Spirit
Hunt!
No one's gonna come to see you anymore.
Get outta here, wherever you please.
Being thrown out with a body like this...
What should we do now?
Hunt, I can see a town!
Honey Waters?
What's that supposed to mean?
What is this?
It's the projection from the shindan Lag shot.
The memories of heart.
Heart?
This is the memory... of when we arrived at this town...
Sarah, it's a gaichuu!
They respond to people's hearts and attack!
Sarah!
You are interfering with my delivery.
Please leave this area immediately.
Roda, to the right!
A Bee? And his dingo is here, too.
Thank goodness.
He should be able to defeat the gaichuu.
Defeat it? How can someone defeat that monster?
Shindan loaded...
That shining stone, it's Spirit Amber!
This is the first time I've seen one.
Using the power of that stone, you can use your heart as a bullet.
Heart... as a bullet?
Black Needle!
The light! Did he get the gaichuu?
I can't see it very well, but I think so.
That's some power you have there, Gauche Suede.
Don't use too much and lose it...
Your heart, that is.
I hear you will be transferring to the capital.
Congratulations.
I'd expect nothing less from the Bee-Hive's Ace.
How do you know that?
We pay close attention to, and have high expectations for, superior Bees such as yourself.
We? Who are you?
One of the Team known as "Reverse."
Or perhaps you would call me, "One unable to become Spirit?"
Reverse... Spirit?
One unable to become Spirit?
Gauche really met him?
The anti-government activists?
We do nothing more than investigate the government of Amberground.
I have no interest in your ideology.
So this group, Reverse, has been observing me?
Correct, Gauche Suede.
I have been following you for many years now.
I know it all, Gauche.
You have a reason to fight the government of Amberground.
You are a man who should be working together with Reverse.
Trying to recruit me?
I do not know what it is you base that claim on.
But I have no intention of relinquishing my pride as a Letter Bee, entrusted with the hearts of the people.
The reason that your dear sister, Sylvette, cannot move her legs.
What if I told you I knew what it was?
I can't hear... The wind is too loud.
What in the world?
I won't give up, Gauche Suede.
One day, you will be mine.
Until we meet again, Gauche.
Who was that guy?
He wasn't your average fellow, that's for sure.
Amazing... This is a real gaichuu exoskeleton!
Think we can sell it?
You people defeated it?
It would be really bad if the thing got any closer.
Did you really defeat it?
Those clothes... Are you pilgrims?
How in the world did you...
My god, your arms!
Are you a monster too?
These are...
Don't move, monster!
Please, wait!
Lower those weapons, you fools!
How dare you show such insolence to the one who saved your town from this incoming gaichuu!
We are on a journey to save the people by informing them of government's evil plot!
The ones unable to become Spirit!
Spirit... The ones everyone's heard about?
Then please come to our town, Honey Waters!
Mistress Sarah!
Master Hunt!
Don't let Bees into the town?
Then what about the resident's letters?
It will be a grand protest against the government!
This is our chance to spread our message far and wide!
Let's do it!
We should!
So everything Mistress Sarah said was a lie?
It's...
The gaichuu buried itself!
Everyone, quickly! Carry the letters to the underground passages!
Dad!
Our lies have murdered people.
I am sorry.
I am so sorry...
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
Hunt!
S-Sarah...
Connor-san?
I made it...
Connor, you make a nice fat-cushion!
Fat?
S-Sarah-san...
Hunt-san had those beast arms attached and played along with your "spirit" con-game all for your sake.
I know.
I knew!
I knew that you gave your arms to the impresario.
If you replace my arms with those clawed hands...
Will you please not sell Sarah?!
I heard it from outside the carriage.
But I couldn't say it...
I couldn't tell you not to do it, Hunt!
Because I wanted to be together with you!
Because I wanted to be together with you... forever!
Impostors!
Frauds!
You tricked us from the very beginning!
You cheated us out of our money!
Why those little...
Little one...
Looks like the government dog's siding with the swindlers!
Little one...
All the money we collected is underneath the alter!
I haven't spent even a single rin!
Do whatever you want with it!
She said it was under the alter!
Wait up! Me, too!
Sarah...
Look at all the money!
Now that we've purged the fakes,
today we're going to start our activities anew!
We're going to really "reverse" the Amberground government!
Doesn't look like this town is going to change.
But you know, Ann.
At least you won't have to worry about your letters.
I'll come and do pickups here.
Your name was Zazie, wasn't it?
How old are you?
F-Fourteen.
The same age as me.
Well, better than Lag, anyway.
Ann!
Everyone!
The original residents?
Well, guess we'd better get out of here quick.
Before we start being pelted with rocks by those people.
Um... Excuse me...
I'm...
I'm okay now.
I must thank you.
For stopping me from being caught up in such foolishness again...
Thank you, little one!
Thank you, Bees!
N-Niche!
Lag!
Y-Yes!
I was worried about you, Niche...
It's okay. Everything's over now.
My job here is... finished.
Bee... You promised you'd come back here, right?
I got it already. I have to go on my next delivery, so...
Hunt-san and Sarah-san will ride in the carriage.
Sure. We'll be fine walking back ourselves.
Then...
Bye.
Are you sure about taking people like us to the Bee-Hive?
Dr. Thunderland said to make sure to capture any rare-looking creature I find, after all.
Capture?
And while you're there, he can look at your arms.
Hunt...
Do you think we can start over again?
We have that chance now. Let us grab it.
And one day we will save that town and that girl.
Just as these Letter Bees saved us and gave us this chance.
I'll dedicate my life to that.
Fluff...
Reverse, huh?
They must have something to do with Gauche's disappearance.
We didn't manage to meet the real "One unable to become Spirit."
So this delivery was a failure.
However, we did find a bit of a clue to where Gauche went.
Lag, there's a river in this direction!
In the other direction there's nothing!
Lag?
Are you not a dingo employed by your master to protect him?
You carelessly drank dangerous water, leaving you unable to help him at a critical moment.
You're a failure as a dingo.
I am the dingo of a certain individual.
My name is Roda.
Let us spend a brief time together.
The delivery is over now.
Lag... You and I relied on each other, and we made it through that perilous journey.
You are no longer a letter... You're a man now, Lag Seeing.
Gauche, farewell...
Um... I was thinking...
One day...
One day, I wanna be a Letter Bee just like you!
Gau...che...
Gauche!
I am not a failure as a dingo!
I became Lag's dingo, Niche!
Lag has only one dingo, me!
I do not understand you.
Roda...
Wait, Gauche!
It's me, Lag Seeing!
You carried me as a letter five years ago!
Lag Seeing!
Gauche...
I'm angry... I'll get you!
You are very quick, but you rely on brute strength.
Is that all the power that lies in the blood of Maka?
That isn't all!
Just you wait!
You'll leave your master undefened?
Protecting one's master is everything for a dingo.
It seems you have mistaken me for someone else, little Letter Bee.
I am what is known as a Marauder.
My name is Noir.
You really are a failure as a dingo.
Lag!
Gauche... Roda...
Farewell, Lag Seeing.
Don't take her... away!
Give her back!
Give her back...
No...
Don't... go!
No more...
...goodbyes...
