we wanna be there even if we had to twist the world all around to get there
without you, i guess i couldn't even find the future here today
i was always trying to take nothing for granted
for the day i might lose them
but you just came in to my black and white monochrome destiny
and colored it all over
we won't be satisfied with the routine future
we were born to make a new history come true
there's absolutely no absolute thing in this world
this road goes on forever
as long as we won't give up
Pumpkin lanterns complete!
They look just like all three of us, huh?
I'm not at all like this pumpkin!
Gagantous!
I'm home!
Welcome back.
I just bought my Halloween costume.
What did you buy?
Hm-hm, it's a secret.
A-ha! Leave it to you, Tsugumi! Very skillfully done.
Geez, I wish you could be my bride!
Meme, the lantern you made is pretty cute, too.
Right, Miss Anya?
Miss Anya, your lantern doesn't have any playfulness, huh?
It's scary and disgusting.
Miss Tsugumi, you said to make a spook head out of the pumpkin!
What part of that is supposed to be a spook?!
Want to put a ribbon on it?
Hmph!
I knew it.
All right.
You will?
Yes?
Do you have a red one?
Huh?
A letter for you, Tsugumi.
Ah, thank you very much.
It's from my mom!
Miss Kana, you're still a child;
you're going to go around getting Halloween candy, right?
That's a real...
...monster!
Hey!
Evil spirits be banished!
Geez, I'm not giving you any candy!
You mean it?
This is the real Halloween. Isn't it, Miss Tsugumi?
Miss Tsugumi?
It can't be...
It can't be. It can't be.
I'm going back home!
Huh? Hold on. Miss Tsugumi...?
Come on...
Miss Tsugumi, what's the matter?
Please, calm down.
Pochi was in an accident...
They operated on him, but...
...not going to make it.
Geez, why won't it open?!
Why?
The Beginning of the Nightmare!
Miss Tsugumi, I made you some rice balls. Would you like to try them?
Don't want any right now.
You might settle down if you have something in your stomach.
I'll leave them right here.
I'm home!
I just bought my Halloween costume.
Huh?
A-ha! Leave it to you, Tsugumi! Very skillfully done.
Geez, I wish you could be my bride!
Miss Meme!
Huh?
Tsugumi...
What's the matter? Did you get hurt somewhere?
How can you forget?
Huh?
How can you forget things so easily?!
It's so awful! The sad times, and the happy times...
And when it comes to me, you forget everything right away!
Meme, you dummy!
I'm sorry.
I've forgotten something else that's important.
And I hurt you, Tsugumi.
I'm sorry.
Miss Meme...
I can make something as simple as stew now by myself, too.
It's good.
Ah, Miss Meme!
Hurry and eat, or it will get cold.
I'm sorry. I'll eat back in the room.
Miss Tsugumi...
I've never seen her act this restlessly in her sleep.
"Restless" doesn't cover it.
Sheesh...
Shouldn't we wake her up and take her back home?
No, I'll watch over Miss Meme, and then report to her what she did.
Miss Tsugumi, you can stay back in our room.
I don't think I'm going to get much sleep tonight anyway.
I'm just wondering, how far is she going?
That's the same room as before.
Could she be dreaming about coming here that one time?
Oh! Why does Miss Meme have a key?
She shouldn't go in there without permission.
Miss Meme, what are you doing?!
Please wake up! You're not supposed to be in here!
Come on, Miss Meme!
Miss Meme!
- What's going on? - It's so late.
Akane! And Clay!
What are you two doing here?
Sid-sensei called us in.
We're helping him with some late-night overtime.
At this hour?
Miss Meme!
Are you all right?!
Ow-w...
Huh?
Where are we? What's going on?
Tatane, are you okay?
Yes.
The research room is a real mess, huh?
Is this... something I did?
I hate to do this,
but would you come with me so I can report it to Sid-sensei?
- Miss Meme was just walking in her sleep... - All right.
Okay, Clay, you see the other two home.
Yeah.
Let's go, Tatane.
Thank you very much.
Sure.
Hey...
I hate to ask, but could you bring Tatane a change of clothes?
- Huh? - What do you mean?
She may not be able to come home right away.
Huh? I know she shouldn't have gone in the room without asking,
- but that's a far cry from... - I can't explain everything.
You'll have to ask Sid-sensei.
Get in touch with Dr. Stein,
and request that he examine Tatane immediately.
Right.
Have you found out how she got access to the research room key?
No, I'll hurry on that.
When we follow this invaluable thread back,
I'm sure it will bring us to Shaula.
I am a persistent man.
Sid-sensei...
Meme Tatane's two roommates are asking to see you.
All right.
Are you saying that Miss Meme is friends with a witch?!
Take it easy. It's true, there can be little doubt that Tatane
was caught stealing information. Solid proof should turn up soon.
That's not true!
It can't be...
This is still just supposition,
but there's a chance that Tatane is being controlled by a witch.
Huh? What do you mean?
It's probably the same culprit as the one behind the multiple cases
of the highly abnormal Traitors, and the Eternal Feather incident.
Shaula Gorgon.
Her mind control works by toxins and some kind of suggestion.
Then, Miss Meme is one of her victims, too, isn't she?
In Tatane's case, there's a unique aspect not found in the others.
Tatane doesn't show any symptoms of insomnia or loss of emotions
that we've seen in cases up to now.
Considering her behavior last night,
as well as the normal side effect of her memory blockage,
I believe she is under the influence
of an even more powerful mind control.
Huh?
So, until she has undergone an extensive examination...
You mean...
...the reason Meme is so forgetful... is because of witch hypnosis?
I can't say for sure, but...
Where is Miss Meme now?
Best that you not know. It's too dangerous for NOT students like you.
All the more reason! Miss Meme is in NOT, too!
Tatane is in the custody of DWMA.
We're done here. If I find out anything, I'll be in touch.
Sid-sensei!
I'm sorry, Meme.
Are you stupid?
That is not Miss Meme.
No, but...
Miss Tsugumi, if you were hypnotized by a witch
and made to do bad things... and had your freedom taken from you,
would you want your partner to apologize to a pumpkin?
I wouldn't want a partner who would do that.
Then what should we...
I don't know what we should do, either.
Miss Anya...
It really is a shame what happened to Pochi.
Yes.
I'm going to go get a little exercise.
Huh? A bat?!
Please, do something about it, Miss Tsugumi!
I can't!
There! Now, Miss Tsugumi! Hurry!
Hurry?! Huh? Miss Anya, look there!
A messenger bat?
Tsugumi, Anya, I'm scared. I want to see you both. Meme
This is...
...a letter from Meme!
How is Tatane behaving?
She is calm right now.
I am reluctant to do this... to use Tatane as bait to draw Shaula in.
According to Stein's report,
he detected a mysterious component within Tatane's blood.
Until this case has been settled,
Tatane is still in danger. For now, stay focused on the mission.
Right.
We should worry more about Tatane's safety
than capturing Shaula, right?
Of course.
Someone's coming in the back way.
Two of them. Girls, one wearing a DWMA uniform.
There's no one here, huh?
Mm-mm.
Miss Tsugumi, over there!
Meme?
Tsugumi?!
Meme!
Miss Meme!
You came here!
Tsugumi... Miss Anya...
Are you getting enough to eat?
Yes.
They're not doing anything awful to you, right?
Right.
Meme...
I'm sorry, Meme.
I had no idea. I said such terrible things.
Mm-mm... so did I. Thank goodness you came, Tsugumi.
Mm-hmm.
Miss Tsugumi!
Mm-hmm!
Meme, stand back!
Miss Meme!
You saved me the trouble of opening it myself.
Meme...?
Thank you, Tsugumi.
Stop this!
I won't be playing around this time.
You're too slow!
Unless you want to die, change into a weapon!
Eh?!
Surround and apprehend her!
Here's your dear student. Be sure to catch her!
Sniper team, what is the target's location?!
Sniper team, what's wrong?! Respond!
Target located! She's heading north out of B Area.
Now, open your eyes...
Ee-yow!
Miss Tsugumi! Are you all right?!
Mm-hmm. What about you, Miss Anya?
I can handle this just fine. Let's go after Miss Meme!
Right!
Shaula Gorgon, right?
Sid-sensei,
you want me to return this body, right?
Clay, Akane, take over here!
- Right! - Right!
We're taking Tatane back.
Akane, help me...
What's the matter? Show me some of your killer moves!
All right, surround her and keep her from moving!
Kill each other.
I'd expect no less, Sid Barret.
How about releasing your Soul Protect and using your magic?
There's no need for that.
Oh, no! Tatane!
You are blessed with some outstanding students, Sid-sensei.
You are at risk.
What I need are not outstanding subordinates.
Just obedient soldiers.
What was that?!
Meme?
No way...
This can't be!
Sid-sensei!
How is Sid-sensei?
Why? What's going on here?
Princess Anastasia Yngling...
I will arrange for someone to come get you. Please return home at once.
Anastasia Yngling? Princess?
Why?
There is an agreement in place with your country, Princess,
such that if any danger were to befall you,
we would return you to your land at once.
Sid said that if anything happened to him,
we should send you home at our discretion.
Why you two?!
We are EAT class students, and work for Central Intelligence.
The reason we were in NOT
was to secretly serve as your bodyguards, Princess.
You mean...
Tell me, what's going on?
Come...
Please wait! At a time like this, I cannot just go home alone,
leaving my partner behind!
You two are not yet formally partners.
No, but still...
Sid-sensei is dead!
We can't afford to occupy ourselves with your goofing around anymore!
We'll walk you back to DWMA.
It will be dangerous, so until your escort arrives,
please refrain from going outside.
Miss Anya!
Tell me, what's going on?!
With a big wave and a "See you,"
let's meet in the new day
Our shadows stretch along the pavement
coming together, then apart, then together
What do I say when the road home ends?
You are not alone. Nope, right nearby,
there are eyes looking back at you
And just like a miracle,
they can turn even failures into laughter
Thank you for a fun day
Let's do it again tomorrow
We'll open a brand-new door
chasing after dreams and love
and those nameless feelings, too
As we fall to pieces, we are beset by different trials.
However, we won't stand around doing nothing!
No matter what I have to do, I will come back to you, Miss Tsugumi!
Tsugumi... Miss Anya... help me...
Next time; Their Various Resolves!
- Sit tight, Meme! - Sit tight, Miss Meme!
