Misaki High School regains its normal routine.
However, Shana and the rest of the party develop a sense
of crisis regarding Bal Masqu who creep towards them.
With Giralda, a Hougu received from
Pheles, Yoshida Kazumi deliberates alone.
Meanwhile, in Bal Masqu a formidable plot takes shape.
The Drell Party in flames...
This was too easy to be considered the end of a key Outlaw.
Take this as a greeting from us.
Today is a farewell.
Right,
Piper of Sorrow Dreams,
Drell Kubelik?
What did you want to talk about, Ogata-san?
Yeah...
It's nothing that important, but...
Don't you feel that everyone has been acting strange recently?
You felt that, too?
You're right. It's not that anyone is being a stranger.
How do I put it...
But, that's not the case with Tanaka, right?
Looks like things are going in a good direction,
especially after Seishuu Festival ended.
Well...
I've got to go now.
Sorry I made you listen to my nonsense.
Going to your club?
Next Friday, there's a scrimmage against Aomae's volleyball team.
I'm the only freshman that gets to play, so I've got to give it my best.
Why not ask him out?
Tanaka. To that match.
I should.
Thanks!
Satou...
W-What's wrong? You need something?
No.
O-Okay.
Sorry, I'm in a bit of hurry.
I'll see you tomorrow.
No new information regarding the Silver has come
No progress.
Not just the Silver. Other topics of research are strange
How exactly?
Outlaw.
No report concerning the research requested comes; instead,
reports that have absolutely no significance are sent.
Frequent inconsistencies.
Things should have gotten better in the past century.
Some sort of disarray is taking place internally
Well, what about you, Keisaku?
Stop eavesdropping there and report in.
I'm sorry. He's...
So nothing's changed.
That's fine. Leave him alone for a while.
Eita'll come to an answer himself, eventually.
Yes.
Um, Margery-san.
It's... regarding Outlaw.
N-Never mind.
Damn it.
You didn't have to glare at him like that,
my cold-hearted educator, Margery Daw.
Eita isn't the only one who's trying to find an answer.
And this time, the answer isn't something
that should be achieved with a haphazard mind.
That's what I'm getting at with them.
This is a Hougu that summons me.
The human who uses this Hougu will feed it
their power of existence and therefore die.
If my feelings for Sakai-kun are real...
If that's what it means for me to stand at
the same place as Sakai-kun is standing...
Sakai Yuji. Starting tonight, we are
advancing the level of your training further.
Within the twenty strikes I swing intending to just graze
you, I will include one full power swing, so dodge that one.
Do you understand, Yuji?
More.
You can increase the number of full power swings.
Yuji...
Don't think too much of yourself!
You can't use Blutsauger as you wish yet, so don't think you can-
Now that I have the seal placed upon me by Bal Masqu,
I can no longer run or hide.
Plus, if this city is the Maelstrom of Warfare as you said, then I...
I don't know how much I can do, but I have to do everything I can.
Right, Alastor?
I guess his mindset is right.
Okay. Are you ready?
Yuji?
What do you need, calling me out here?
Well, there's something I wanted to ask.
Then ask in the classroom.
Sakai is in the classroom.
I don't want to ask him or have him overhear.
Tell me about what Outlaw does.
Tanaka!
Oga-chan.
Are you going to the cafeteria today, too?
Y-Yeah.
I forgot to bring my bento again.
Do you want to come with me?
Oh, but you-
I forgot mine, too.
My bento.
I figured you wouldn't bring yours either, so...
Hey, Tanaka.
Are you forgetting to bring your bento on purpose, by any chance?
W-Why?
It feels like you're trying to keep your distance from everyone...
With Satou, too.
T-That's not true.
Do you have something else on your mind?
Even when... you're with me?
You know, next Friday...
Tanaka!
Hey, Tanaka!
Ah, Friday. Yeah, Friday.
Sure, I'll take you anywhere you like.
If it's for you...
Forget it.
Oga-chan?
I don't want to say this...
...but Tanaka, you're not acting like yourself at all right now.
Outlaw?
It's a support organization for Flame Haze.
You should at least remember hearing of it.
Its facitilies are located all over the world, and they exchange information.
Above all, Flame Haze aren't the only ones who work there.
Regular humans are there, too.
So what?
Don't you understand?
There's something we can do, too.
We can't fight the Tomogara head on, but we can support them from behind.
So...
That's great. I'm glad you found the path you want to take.
But I'm...
How much longer are you going to be a coward for?
Didn't we decide to follow Margery-san?
Fight!
I'm ready!
Square up when you receive it!
Ready?!
Tanaka, you're not acting like yourself at all right now.
Maybe I said a little too much.
Ogata!
Don't space out!
The match is tomorrow.
I-I'm sorry.
Unneeded.
This is related.
This and this are...
...unneeded.
The quality of reports sent from Outlaw
these days is beyond crude .
Heterogeneous.
You haven't found anything regarding the
spell insignia placed on Yuji's Reiji Maigo?
If it's somehow enough to change the nature of Keepers,
we should find something if we continue to research.
Are you that worried ~de arimasuka?
What we must truly keep watch for is not the insignia,
but Sabrac, who inserted the insignia ~de arimashou.
Sabrac...
If I remember right, he's a skilled assassin.
Since he's involved with the Reiji Maigo, the
chance of him coming to this Misaki City is high.
Yet, we have absolutely no reports of sightings.
This is proof he is hiding somewhere and plotting something
What kind of Tomogara is he?
Sabrac. His true name is Destructive Blade.
He is not affiliated with any group.
A fearsome King of Guze who simply goes out to kill targets upon request.
Nemesis.
I was once almost killed by him
You were?!
If Pheles and Johan hadn't arrived, I would have...
So that's why you cared for Pheles so much.
For several years preceding that, we traveled together
As Sabrac hounded us, I would occupy his attention,
and Pheles would blow him away, so we survived together.
But, right when Johan was about to complete the
creation of a spell insignia to counter Sabrac,
he was killed while I was away for a moment.
Destructive Blade, Sabrac.
A Tomogara even Carmel-san couldn't stand
up against will be coming for me one day.
This is...
What?
Did you find something?
Wilhelmina?
Margery-san.
I want to talk with you.
Please let me work at Outlaw.
Even if I can't fight against Tomogara...
Even if I'm no use on the frontlines...
I don't care in what form or shape.
I...
The Manipulator of Objects was here just a moment ago.
One of the key Outlaw headquarters was assaulted by Tomogara.
It was a place organized by a guy called Drell Kubelik.
Everyone that was there was killed. Goes without saying, him, too.
Flame Haze...
...and humans, too.
That wasn't the only place that was assaulted.
Damage reports and calls for help are flying
out from multiple Outlaws around the world.
Explains why the reports sent were a mess.
So, the first thing you find out was
something that sends a chill down your spine.
How about it now, Keisaku?
Oh, Ike.
You're not going?
The match. The volleyball game.
Didn't Ogata-san ask you to come?
Tanaka...
All right!
Got it!
Are you all talk?
I guess it was too early for us to up the level.
I did feel it.
Shana's killing intent.
I just have a little more to go.
Okay. Then here goes the next one.
Among all the strikes she delivers,
there's one with exceptionally large power of existence.
It gets concentrated to one point and comes as a sharp-edged weapon.
This is it!
Don't let your guard down like that.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
But, in regards to you truly and clearly seeing the killing
blow coming at you for the first time, you deserve a compliment.
We should end for the night.
Not yet.
I'm finally starting to get a grip on it.
I want to continue some more.
Please.
Yuji...
What happened, calling me out at this hour?
I'm sorry about the other day.
You didn't call me out just to say that, right?
Damn, it's cold.
Come to my house if there's something you want to talk about.
I won't go to your house.
I won't see Ane-san anymore.
Margery-san's worried about you.
Despite what she does, she cares about-
I can't face her!
How do you expect me to face her?
Today, Oga-chan had a volleyball match.
She would chase after the ball and run...
Looking at her made me think, I want to see a living Oga-chan.
I don't ever want to see her like that again.
I was intending to follow Ane-san all the way.
Follow her with you.
But... But that's...
I think that's fine.
I'm glad you found the path you want to take.
Satou.
Quit it. You're being shameless.
I was a bit naive about my thoughts, too.
Working at Outlaw apparently isn't as easy as I had imagined.
But, so what, right?
I made up my mind already, so I can't do anything about it.
Right?
Take this.
Give it back to Ane-san for me.
Tell Ane-san,
I'm a pussy.
I'm a coward, a half-assed brat.
No you're not, you idiot.
You just quit being a half-assed brat.
With the Seishuu Festival over, Yuji trains as if he's possessed
by something amidst the normal life that returned temporarily.
Shana feels slightly concerned about such a drastic change.
And a Tomogara named Zarovee comes to Misaki City.
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Second.
Baffled Yuji.
