"Leave this city."
Shana and Yoshida Kazumi experience an unexplainable discomfort toward Yuji, who trained furiously after firming his resolve.
While Yuji puzzled over harsh words from the two, a Guze no Tomogara appeared before him.
My name is Collation Flux, Zarovee.
Guze no Tomogara?
My senses have become sharp.
Yet, why did I not notice them until they were this close?
I see. This guy's existence has to be extremely small.
With it like this, even Shana or Carmel-san wouldn't notice.
You don't need to glare at us like that.
We won't cause you any harm.
Yes. Not to you .
Not to me ?
What do you mean?
I mean, the previous statement does not apply to people other than you.
You don't mean-
Exactly how many people are on the premises...
Any clue?
You guys!
Hold on.
If you harm us, you will surely regret it.
Because... before I can defeat you all...
...the one hiding over there...
...will start attacking the people in the city?
Just as you guessed, if anything were to happen to us, the remaining one would eat the people around him.
Do you now see the danger in resisting?
They've come to me without being spotted by anyone, which means...
You must be a Jaeger from Bal MasquÃ©.
How do you know that?
Just as I thought.
They were mentioned many times in documents from Outlaw.
Specialized in covert operations and unsuitable for combat,
they never act alone, but instead, are always with Wanderers, Tomogara specialized in combat.
If so...
The Wanderer has to be somewhere.
But I can't sense its presence.
Is it using some sort of unrestricted spell?
I can't fully analyze what they are after.
Looks like I have to make more observations.
Have you come to an understanding of the situation?
If you know about us, it makes things easier for us, too.
Now, please come with us,
Mystes, Sakai Yuji-dono.
Was this the feeling I was getting this morning?
How is Wilhelmina's herbal medicine?
I can taste that it'll work.
Where is Carmel-san?
She's working on making a medicinal soup.
Kazumi also brought this.
Oh my. Thank her for me, please.
And of course, you, too, Shana-chan.
Why are you apologizing?
You're lying!
You're lying to yourself about going with me and not worrying about Chigusa.
It's all made up.
I don't want to go with you the way you are now.
Yuji...
Hey.
Where are you taking me?
Please follow me quietly.
What if I don't?
You know the answer.
What are they after?
If they simply wanted to kidnap me, they wouldn't go through this trouble.
Could they be trying to lure Shana and others out by using me as bait?
If so, I've got to let them know fast.
But how?
What... What in the world are you doing?
Damn you!
Be quiet. Have you lost your mind?
If I keep following you, I bet there's a big trap set to get everyone at once, right?!
I-I'm not sure about that.
Then I'll just-
If you do any more than that,
I'll seriously start eating people.
Fine! Damn you!
I don't believe him.
That was Sakai-kun, right?
Y-Yeah.
He was yelling.
That Sakai-kun is getting in a fight?
He definitely knew I was here.
But why...
He didn't want that old man to notice us?
Hey.
Let's go after him.
I don't want to find Sakai-kun trapped in some mess.
No, he didn't just not want him to notice us.
It's dangerous if he did notice us?
Then, could that old man be...
Could... Could he be...
A Guze no Tomogara?!
Hey, why are you spacing out?
If we don't hurry, we'll lose track of Sakai-kun.
Come on.
T-Tanaka?
Don't go.
Wh-What's wrong?
You're starting to go pale.
Is the man Sakai-kun was with someone that dangerous?
If so, we really should-
No. It's not something that simple.
It is them.
Sakai's about to be taken away by them.
He noticed me and was looking for help.
That was a message from him.
If I keep following you, I bet there's a big trap set to get everyone at once, right?!
How do you expect me to see Ane-san now?
I once said I'd follow her no matter where, and now...
Plus, if something like that happened again, but it turned out to be unfixable...
I've had enough of this!
I don't want to have anything to do with this anymore!
Are you all right?
Ready to run, Oga-chan?
What? Tanaka!
Where are you going?
What kind of idiot am I?
If Sakai is in danger, then I don't have time to waste thinking.
Oga-chan, stay here.
Don't look inside if you can help it.
O-Okay.
Yeah?
Tanaka?
I know very well that I shouldn't be here.
But Ane-san...
I... need to talk to Margery-san.
That's the extent of what I saw.
Must be a Bal MasquÃ© Jaeger.
I've got the situation; I'll pass word to the others right away.
Keisaku, Eita. It's the first time in a while to use the Haridan.
U-Um.
I'm sorry.
I... can't.
I'm ready to be patronized.
I've been such a stuck-up idiot looking back now...
Really, I don't know what exactly to say, but...
Take Matake somewhere far away.
Chigusa's sleeping well.
I see ~de arimasuka.
The herbal medicine must be working ~de arimashou.
Panacea application.
How's the food coming?
I'm cooking various nutritious ingredients together ~de arimasu.
Snapping turtle, pit viper, garlic, and...
Korean ginseng.
Yes, that one ~de arimasu.
Won't that worsen the condition?
Can't we save Sakai before the enemy actually makes a move?
It's strange how only you are standing by here.
Things have an order that needs to be followed.
My job is to stay here and let them sense the presence of a Flame Haze.
You sure you're not spreading the smell of boo-
I'm sorry about the long walk.
We're almost there.
Is that where the Wanderer is?
You sure know a lot.
Though I won't give you any answer to that.
From his smirk, I can tell that he has something atrocious planned.
Where is his partner hiding?
The vision above is too bad for even a Wanderer to fight.
Movement would be limited, too.
Isn't it suicidal to face Flame Haze in an area like this?
I still can't figure out what they're after, even having come this far.
I can't let it end like this.
At this rate, everyone will...
I guess it's about time I prepare the stage for battle.
Stage for battle?
You're going to cast the Fuzetsu? Not the Wanderer?
Yes. Is there a problem with that?
With the five of us combined, I'll show you that we can easily confine this area in a Fuzetsu.
That's strange.
There's no way someone as weak as him can possibly cover the entire area necessary for battle.
Is there any meaning behind him casting such a small Fuzetsu?
The fifth guy stopped?
Small Fuzetsu...
Stationary fifth guy...
Location unsuitable for battle...
How Flame Haze use Fuzetsu as their battlefield and how there's a Tomogara outside observing...
And this guy's special ability...
I get it.
Wh-What's the matter?
The small Fuzetsu is a cage to lure the Flame Haze in.
The stationary fifth guy is his escape route to take me away through his fusion.
The roof is a blindfold to keep external information out.
Which means...
...what the Wanderer is up to is...
...the annihilation of the Flame Haze from outside, far away!
Finally.
Still taking your time, Zarovee?
Where's the signal for the massacre?
Where's your orange-colored Fuzetsu?
Wh-Why did you stop moving?
We're only a little bit away from the final destination.
If you do not follow me, the people around will....
I have to protect them.
I...
I want to protect this city!
Wh-What are you...
I got it, Shana, Yoshida-san.
Why are you apologizing?
I don't want to go with you the way you are now.
I never wanted to leave this city.
I was only acting like I had come to a conclusion.
Yuji, let me say one thing.
Resolve isn't something to be made in your head but with your attitude.
Truth was, I never had anything resolved.
I just pretended that I had accepted it.
It's only natural that Shana and Yoshida-san got angry at me...
...so I need to apologize to them.
Just as I thought. The Wanderer isn't coming out to get me.
They were after a long-ranged attack like I'd figured!
Shana!
Yuji!
Yuji, are you all right?
I'm fine. More importantly-
Your analysis of the situation.
Yes.
There should be a Wanderer at a faraway place with a clear view of here, set up for a long-ranged attack.
Wilhelmina.
Roger ~de arimasu.
Make sure to keep the Fuzetsu up.
Yes-
There it is!
It's already prepared to fire!
Go ~de arimasu.
Ready for launch.
I'll be a split-second late!
That was close.
It was good judgment not to wait.
I see.
Judging from his ability, he certainly is fit to be a good partner ~de arimasuka.
Reluctance.
Ah man! Looks like I didn't get any stage time today.
How boring.
There are days like this.
But I'm glad that everything ended well.
What is this?
Both the Jaeger and the Wanderer are gone, yet...
Plus, I feel something strange about that place.
But more importantly...
Shana!
Will you listen to something I couldn't say earlier?
The Destructive Blade, Sabrac, appears from the explosion that engulfed me and everyone else.
The overwhelming roar of flames covers Misaki city.
Even with heavy injuries, Wilhelmina faces her nemesis.
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Second.
Rose Madder Colored War.
