At a summer beach far away from Academy City,
I, Kamijyo Touma, am having a reunion with my family.
A magic spell known as "Angel Fall" has befallen us though.
Misha Kreuzhev of the Russian Orthodox Church,
and Tsuchimikado Motoharu, who appeared with Kanzaki Kaori,
also a member of Necessarius.
...Wait, what?!?!
C'mon, Kami-yan.
I'm also a member of Necessarius.
Necessarius?!
Then, you're a...
Yeah, a magician.
But...
"There's no way a magician can be in Academy City", eh?
Think about it, Kami-yan.
"Science" and "magic" are enemies.
Then an agent or two sneaking into enemy territory... isn't that shocking, right?
Agent...
A spy, if you will.
I know of most things surrounding you, Kami-yan.
Of course, I know about Imagine Breaker, too.
But yeah, having gone through a lot of the esper curriculum, much of my magic is unusable now.
Either way, there is a high probability that the spellcaster of Angel Fall is hiding near you.
The same could apply to the ritual location.
We should move together for now and investigate the enemy's objective and their next move.
Do you have any objections, Misha Kreuzhev?
Answer no. 1 - That should be the most intelligent strategy.
W-Wait!
I'm with family members that I haven't seen in a while.
My parents and cousin are at the hotel-
Do your parents and cousin appear like they should to you?
Such misfortune.
Some charm you are.
Piece of shit!
Replicas have some power enchanted in them, too, y'know?
The basic principle in idol worship.
To think that you're a magician...
"Were", it's past tense now.
The best Onmyo professor of Necessarius who specialized in Feng Hsui is now just a plain old human.
You're not going to join the others?
I wish I could, but I can't.
When Angel Fall was activated, Kanzaki-neechin and I cast seals on ourselves right away,
but we couldn't get away from it completely.
From the eyes of everyone that "switched sides",
I'm Hitotsui Hajime apparently.
Hitotsui Hajime?
You mean, that shallow idol?
Then, who's Kanzaki...
My... Touma's friends are really unique.
Oniisan, you're so cool!
Red hair and a cigarette in your mouth...
And a bar code on your cheek!
How do you say this again...
You want to say he's dandy, right, Aunt Shiina?
My, my~
Oh that's right.
Here's a charm from Egypt for you all-
Forget the scarabs, Uncle Touya!
Hey, by the way.
What was your name again?
Kanzaki...
She's Stiyl?
That's a good one.
Wait, you just said you cast a seal, right?
Aren't espers unable to use magic?
Yeah, that's why I'm messed up all over.
If I use magic again,
my blood vessels will burst, and *bang*
I'll be dead for sure.
Oh, that's right, Kami-yan.
Your "such misfortune" favorite phrase,
try not to say it in front of Neechin.
Opposite to your misfortune,
Neechin is a person that can't tolerate her own fortune.
Can't tolerate her own fortune?
In Japan, there's an organization called Amakusa-shiki, founded by Christians hiding in Japan.
It was determined that Kanzaki-neechin was to be the top of that organization, the Priestess, at birth.
She's one of only a few "Saints" in this world capable of wielding a Stigma.
A Saint, in other words, a human that can harness the power of the son of God.
When she unleashes her Stigma, Neechin is able to temporarily wield power greater than that of humans.
She apparently can't forgive herself for being born with that much fortune and blessing.
Great, "God" again?
And why is that a worry for her?
That's something only she would know.
But, Kami-yan.
How do fortunate people feel?
To always be drawing the one and only winning lottery ticket...
...means you're always going to have others draw the losing tickets.
I can't take it anymore.
To tell the truth, I...
...because of the effects of Angel Fall...
So I heard, your appearance is Stiyl, right?
That is correct.
I'd like to take a bath to relieve my fatigue,
but if someone comes in while I'm in the ladies' bath, panic will ensue.
And you also have a problem if someone goes into the men's bath, too?
So, please stand watch for me here.
To make sure no one comes in.
Are we clear?
I've asked you this favor.
Such misfortune.
Oh, right. It's a taboo phrase in front of Kanzaki.
Touma, there you are.
Dad?
Perfect timing.
Let's go take a bath together, father and son, like old times.
W-Wait!
Not now!
Someone's inside!
What's wrong with that?
It's a hot spring; that's normal.
No, it's umm...
Don't be so bashful.
What's there to be embarrassed, we're grown men.
Ah- That is- Really... It's okay...
Umm...
Hey, red-haired, cigarette-chewing, bar-code cheeked Kanzaki-kun!
Gosh!
Forgetting your gratitude just because he saw your naked body?
Kami-yan is the one we are indebted to for saving Index's life.
Thank him, we should,
but chasing him out of the bath area, I wonder...
I understand it well.
I understand, but...
Man, your friend is really, really unique.
For him to be panicking so much even though we're all men.
There's a lot of reasons behind this.
Reasons?
Don't tell me he really swings "that" way,
that he can't marry anymore because I saw his naked body?
Stop fantasizing about things the wrong way already.
That's not it-
That's right...
That everyone's appearance has switched due to Angel Fall...
...means that the appearance of Dad is really the face of some stranger.
What's wrong?
You seem all depressed all of a sudden.
It's nothing.
That face of yours looks just like your mother's.
Before we got married, when we were having dates every now and then,
as the time came for us to part ways,
your mother would always have that look on her face.
And I couldn't bear seeing that...
...but I found it so darling, as well...
You take after your mother more after all.
Oh right, here's a souvenir from Mexico-
I don't want it!
Hm, that's...
Misha.
The gloominess on such an innocent child's face.
It's like she wants us to talk to her.
Touma, good luck!
Huh? Hey!
Geez...
What are you up to?
Are you a bit homesick since Russia, the land of Tsundere, is so far away?
Note: This is a pun on Tundra (tsundora) and Tsundere
She's not responding to the joke!
Does this woman understand the emptiness when a joke gets ignored?!
Want one?
Did you find out anything about Angel Fall?
You know, I don't understand much about this angel business,
but why did the suspect activate this kind of spell to begin with?
Hypothesis no. 1 - To acquire the vast amount of power an angel possesses?
Or to become part of the angel class?
Angel Fall is incomplete.
Huh? Really?
The power of an angel is strong enough to destroy the Vatican.
If Angel Fall were completed,
a calamity as great as those of lore would take place.
We must identify the spellcaster before that and prevent the completion of the spell.
R-Right.
This isn't the time to be chewing on gum, huh?
My bad.
World crisis?
My, my, Touya-san.
Hold on.
My, what are you getting all energetic about, Touya-san?
Seeing Touma's face brought back a lot of memories, you see.
And I thought he'd like a brother or sister.
My, my, is that so?
Sorry, Misha.
Before the world's crisis,
I have to take care of another, personal one right now!
Stop!
Stop! Stop!
Touma?!
What time are you barging in-
My, my, Touma-san, you want to sleep together with the whole family again, huh?
Okay, let us sleep like the "Kawa" kanji tonight.
Note: Kawa 川 - Where the child (shortest stroke) sleeps in between the two parents (longer strokes)
Touma! Touma!
Touma's not in his room!
He hasn't come back since last night!
Touma-
My, my, oh no!
What's wrong, Mom?
What's going on; it's still so early...
Everyone's in such a haste...
Touma...
Why are you in such a hurry?
I forgot to lock the front door.
I'll go back and lock up.
It'll take a whole day there-and-back by train.
I'll be back by evening.
Question no. 1 - May I accompany you?
Misha?
Repeating question no. 1 - May I accompany you?
My, my, Misha-chan. You want to give me some company along the way?
Okay, let's go together.
Why does Misha have to accompany Ind- Mom?
I see how it is, Touma.
You were her first, Touma.
That's why she has to become your bride now...
...and she's trying to score points with her future mother-in-
What are you talking about?!
You two were in a good mood last night, weren't you?
You were peeking, you perverted father!
Heck, if you were watching, couldn't you tell?
I'm just kidding, okay?
But she's a rather modest girl; a rarity these days.
She tried not to touch your hand at all.
Hand?
My... right hand...
Angel Fall is incomplete.
If Angel Fall were completed,
a calamity as great as those of lore would take place.
Misha said that?
Hey, so we don't really know the actual form of Angel Fall, right?
Correct.
There isn't even a record in the British Library,
a completely unknown phenomenon.
So, how does she know if such a thing is incomplete or not?
That a calamity would occur if it were completed...
...why is Misha able to say that?
Why did Misha not touch my right hand?
Just because she was a bit shy?
Or...
...she cast the spell herself...
...and didn't want the in-progress spell of Angel Fall to be erased...
Kami-yan! Take us to your home!
Okay!
Hmm? A map to our home?
We moved, right?!
Draw me a map to our new home!
Why all of a sudden?
You don't have to go after Mom or anything.
I see how it is, Touma!
Don't!
You don't want Mom stealing Misha-chan away from you-
Quit fantasizing in such an unreasonable fashion,
and hurry!!!
All right, all right.
Assuming Misha cast Angel Fall,
why is she after Index, I mean, Mom?
Beats me.
We'll need to ask Misha personally to find out.
This... is my home?
Mom! Misha!
Let's wait for their arrival here.
Hey, Kami-yan!
Geez.
Dad sure goes crazy in his souvenir mania.
Nothing here either.
It's... my name...
I don't remember anything after all...
What's the matter, Tsuchimikado?
I see.
So that's how it is.
What's wrong with this?
Don't touch it!
Hey, what's going on, Tsuchimikado?
I said, hey!
This... is my mother...
Huh?
Dad?
This was a photo from New Year last year.
Do you remember me now, Touma-oniichan?
This one, too.
And this one.
Dad's appearance didn't get switched?!
Tsuchimikado, this...
The only person that isn't affected by Angel Fall, besides exceptions like you, Kami-yan...
...is the spellcaster himself.
My, my.
Oh, no.
My, Hitotsui Hajime!!!
I don't know what you're doing here,
But I'm a big fan of yours!!!
Kami-yan, after her!
You forgot what Misha tried to do to you when she thought you were the culprit?!
Why, Dad?
How come you're able to do something like this?!
Why did you put your hands into the occult world?
Watch where you're going, damn it!!!
You wanna die or somethin'?!
Hi-Himegami?!
Get outta the way already!
Or I'm gonna flatten 'ya!
What the-
Give me a ride.
Please!
Say what?!
Does this look like a damn taxi cab to you, huh?!
Dad's... My father's life is in danger!
What?
I want to save my father!
I need to...
I beg you!
This brings me to tears, yo!
A child who pays tribute to his parents is so rare these days!
All right!
Buckle up right now!
I won't pick you up if you get thrown out of the window, eh?
Outta the way, damn it!
Move it, move it, move it, move it!!!
Where's Dad?
Where's Misha?
Hey, where's Dad?!
Where's Misha?!
Didn't you two go after her?
Mr. Touya is on the beach.
What exactly is the matter?
I see.
You must wait here.
This is my job now.
I will secure Mr. Touya's-
I don't think so.
I'll take matters into my own hands.
But-
No buts!
Kamijyo Touya is my father!
My one and only... father...
Dad.
The emergence of a terrible entity that surpasses the world of human knowledge,
a power that's set out to destroy the world,
and Kanzaki, who is standing against it.
And Tsuchimikado...
Next time, "The Power of God".
When science and magic cross paths,
this epic will begin!
