There's no way we'll make it in time.
This is the end of everything.
Let's pray to God.
If they won't come, let's go on our own.
You're both hung up, so Valkyria shouldn't be able to detect you.
But be careful!
Neko...
Things to Protect
Neko, it's okay now.
I'm sorry, Murakami...
But we're the only ones who need to risk our lives here.
Relax and get some rest.
We'll be back after we save Kotori.
Kotori is beneath that light?
Yeah. It seems like she's in the basement of that summer house.
Ain Soph Aur...
The mechanism created by extraterrestrials to reset life on this planet.
We might as well call those extraterrestrials this planet's gods.
Takachiho's aim is to reconstruct them
and create this planet's new race of rulers.
In other words, rejecting the God we've worshipped up to now: killing God.
Witches are nothing more than a means to that end.
But that's... that's so...
Actually, I have no interest in all of that.
And I have no use for a failure like you who couldn't bring back Rena.
But the grane is vital to understanding the awakening process, so I'll be taking it back.
To use in experiments on other witches, right?
Naturally.
I won't let you!
Are you going to eject yourself?
If I can protect everyone, my death won't have been in vain.
If I melt to death, both the light in the sky and the drasil should disappear.
What nonsense. Anyone who sacrifices themself is a fool.
Is it so strange to do something for someone else?
If the people I love can stay smiling tomorrow...
...then you can call me foolish or whatever you want.
Damn.
Ain Soph Aur is vanishing?
Something must have happened to #1107.
So then—?
Right. We can't let this chance go by.
Kotori...
Kotori!
Man, though, it's really a maze in here.
Hey, wait!
Where's Kotori?
#1107 is dead.
No...
Liar!
It's true. She ejected herself.
Kotori did that?
It seems she intended to hinder my research,
but in the end her death was meaningless.
Whadaya mean, her death was meaningless?!
You take care of the rest.
Lives are never of equal value. There is always a ranking order.
Spending time with Chisato, you grow to understand this very well.
Neko, come here.
Why are you so obsessed with Neko?
I'm not going with you.
Don't you understand? I want to save you.
Neko! Neko, c'mon!
Now's not the time to be concerned for others.
I have no intention of saving you.
Why am I obsessed with Neko?
It's only natural. She's my little sister.
Shit! I have no idea which way to go.
Nanami?
If Ichijiku is here, he'd be over there.
How do you know that?
It seems like the guy who was supervising me came here one time.
Now, hurry.
Right!
What is this place?
Kotori! Hang on, Kotori!
Mura...kami?
What in the world happened to you?
I ejected myself. Teeheehee.
You stupid— This is no time to "teehee"!
B-B-But, if I wanted to save everyone, this was my only option.
But if you're not here, it's meaningless for everyone to be saved...
That's not true at all.
I was so happy during the time I spent with you guys.
Of all the Earth's creatures, I was the happiest.
So I'm not sad at all.
Kotori...
Murakami.
I have one last favor to ask of you.
Please stop my big brother, Ichijiku Chisato.
He was doing all of this in order to bring me back to life.
What are you talking about, Kotori?
"Please, don't hurt anyone else."
Tell my big brother I said that.
Thank you... for everything.
Murakami, please take care...
...of every...body...
Kotori... Kotori!
I wonder when she became conscious as Ichijiku's little sister.
I know you're upset, but there's no time to cry.
Yeah, I know.
What was that light before?
It was quite a fascinating phenomenon.
It's done processing?
There might just be a miracle, Ryota!
Kazumi! Kazumi!
What? Murakami?
What kind of face is that? You look like hell.
How did this happen?
Valkyria got me. She and Ichijiku are dangerous.
Don't waste time here. Hurry up and save Neko!
B-But...
Don't worry about me. You know what to do.
Kazumi...
Idiot! Pull yourself together!
You're the only one left. If you don't save her, who will?
Now, go! Get outta here, Murakami!
I'll come back for you.
So in the end I couldn't tell him how I feel...
I wanted to have his kids so bad...
And I seriously can't believe I'm dying as a virgin...
But you know, I did manage to fall in love...
It wasn't such a bad life...
Kazumi!
At this rate, Neko won't make it either. Please, push the top button on my harnest!
From here just keep going straight. This is as far as I can guide you.
Got it. Thanks, Nanami.
There's no need to thank me.
Just don't die, Murakami.
Right!
I can't kill my own sister.
But, to me, an order from Chisato is absolute.
You see...
This is no good. At this rate, Valkyria will...
Chief, you can't!
One minute of the radiation dose in there now is fatal!
Ever since that day, Chisato's life has been more precious to me than my own.
Valkyria.
Chisato.
I thought I told you to finish them off.
That one's a failure, and has no right to live.
B-But...
That's enough. Put her down there. I'll eject her.
Neko, I'm sorry. I'm sorry...
Are you frickin' kidding me?! You're the one with no right to live!
You're the one with no right to live, playing with other people's lives!
For Kotori and Kazumi...
Kazumi and Kotori are...?
...I'll never forgive you!
I don't care if you forgive me.
I've killed countless people to get this far.
For your little sister's sake?
How do you know about my sister?
Your little sister's soul was alive in Kotori.
In her last moments, Kotori said, "Please..."
Please, don't hurt anyone else.
"Tell my big brother I said that."
Oh! So it was a success!
What are you smiling about?
Your little sister was brought back to life, only to die again!
Rena's skull is still preserved. I just have to do the same thing again.
You—!
I can't... move!
Murakami!
Kuroha!
I won't let you so much as lift another finger against Chisato.
Open your eyes, Valkyria.
All Ichijiku thinks about is reincarnating his little sister.
You're just being used!
Is that true, Chisato?
Yes.
That's what I like about you.
Jeez, these two deserve each other.
But how are you even still alive?
In any case, I won't allow you to spout such insolence.
Murakami!
You're getting punished, too!
Shut up and watch this boy suffer and die.
Stop it!
The way to break the seal...
I'll protect...
...Murakami!
No, Kuroha. Don't do it!
Idiot. You're just going to melt and die.
Murakami...
I-I'll protect Neko!
On that day, I swore...
...to defend Neko with my forecast magic.
In exchange for the ability to move, I lost the ability to forecast,
but I'll give my life to protect Neko!
Kana...
Don't do it, Kuroha!
Thanks... to both of you.
Neko!
Kuroha!
She's awakened...
No way. My magic...?
I guess I need some rehabilitation.
Ryota!
Are you okay, Ryota?
"Ryota"?
...Kuroneko?!
Yeah.
You mean, your memories... your memories have returned?
Yeah. I remember...
...how we played together as kids. All of it.
We meet again, Ryota.
There's... so much I want to say to you...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I grabbed your hand back then.
No, I'm the one who should be sorry.
If only I'd been able to hold on.
Dammit!
Don't worry. This time I'll protect you properly!
No worries, Chisato. I'm here for you.
I remember you, Sis. You and I are like night and day.
But... I won't be defeated!
I have so many more things I want to protect than you do!
Neko!
Kuroneko, are you okay?
I won't lose!
I won't forgive anyone who gets in Ichijiku's way, not even my little sister!
I can't use my magic! It can't be...
Ichijiku is shielding Valkyria?
I can't cancel out her magic... for very long...
Hurry! Hurry and kill Valkyria!
Chisato?
I'm at my limit...
We failed. We couldn't make it in time.
I can't believe Ichijiku would die for someone else.
Chisato! Chisato! Why did you save me? Why?
It's a foolish thing, the human heart.
Sometimes we fail to operate logically, and act on emotions.
That's why... I despise humans.
Chisato... Chisato?
Chisato! Chisato!
He's dead! Chisato's dead!
A world without Chisato? I'd rather destroy the whole thing!
This is bad. That's antimatter!
Antimatter? She can create antimatter?
Once she's made antimatter, it won't cease to exist without an annihilation explosion.
So then...
...this whole area is going to be obliterated!
Kuroneko?
Leave this to me.
What are you saying?
It's okay. I can destroy the antimatter.
How?
With a micro black hole.
A micro black hole?
I'd always planned to do that when we grew up.
I've always loved you.
And I always will, forever and ever.
Ryota, thanks... for never forgetting me.
Kuroneko!
Kuroneko...
I just wanted to see Chisato happy.
I was content just having him with me.
Sis...
Let's end this.
I'll go with you, so...
Neko, do you want to die?!
Sis, you and I are one.
My cute, dumb little sister...
Kuroneko!
Kuroneko?
Kuroneko!
Even if it kills me, I'll never let go of this hand!
Kuroneko! Hang in there, Kuroneko!
Phew, we made it.
Are you in any pain? Any injuries?
U-Umm... can I ask you something?
Sure. What is it?
Who... are you?
Hello? It's Kogoro.
Ryota, we've made dramatic progress reproducing the pills.
As soon as you get this message, bring everyone over.
Okay? I'm waiting for you.
What's the matter? Why are you crying?
The summer triangle!
