He's coming home.
Haimura-kun.
Yay!
They say they're going to spend a night over there.
He wants to take the Transportal tomorrow.
Really?
Yeah.
Damn Haimura, flirting with the Russian beauty!
A soldier needs his rest.
I wish I could have gone with them.
Maya.
I... I wanted to see Moroha-san as soon as I could.
Be patient, until tomorrow, okay?
Okay.
I've had it!
I'm going to kill you now!
How could you just go off with the forbidden curse?!
Russia's map changed because of you!
We might as well call it the Sea of Haimura.
Anything but that.
Angela, please forgive him now.
Yeah.
Don't go lecturing in a sauna, it's getting so stuffy.
Why are we even in a mixed bath?
It's Finland-style, of course we're mixed!
How could you not know that?
Right.
There, there, there, you two.
You shared a bed naked.
That's enough.
Nii-sama!
Angela-san, would you please explain?
W-We had some complicated circumstances.
Complicated.
I'm depressed.
I'm so depressed.
Why did my beloved brother sleep with an English woman?
Brother?!
You're still saying stuff like that?
My brother is my brother.
Who's your brother?!
They've been at it since we were in Japan.
He's my brother, so he's my brother.
What the heck are you talking about?!
Then I challenge you for the position of younger sister!
I accept that challenge.
Hot!
The first one to give up loses.
Agreed.
It's too hot.
Oh, my God.
I can't take it!
I'm leaving!
Me, too.
Oh no, I'm getting dizzy from the heat.
Huh?
Get it? Strength is love, love is strength.
I have just as much love for Moroha.
Then...
Can you do this in this heat?
Easily.
Not bad.
So what's the point of this?
You stay out of this, Moroha!
Okay.
Let's arm wrestle, then.
All right.
Ready, go!
Why arm wrestling?
We'll just have to watch over them with mild kindness.
I'm not handing Nii-sama to you!
I'm not giving up, either!
Khorosho!
Dosukoi!
I'm hot.
I think I'll die.
It's set, I'm the true younger sister!
Hey, guys!
Leave this to me.
Write.
White Breath!
My heart is freezing.
Here you are, warm Russian tea.
Thank you.
These two are idiots.
Hot!
Hey, where's Urushibara? She did this to us!
Gross!
Are you all right?
You aren't sick from the sauna heat, too, are you?
No, it's just been a while since it's been so lively.
I've been traveling with only one other person for a while.
I see.
And that's why you held each other naked.
Like I said, that's...
I knew from the beginning.
We kept in contact the whole time, after all.
Seriously...
You better not leave us behind anymore.
We're going to be together forever.
Past life, and present life.
Speaking of past lives, I had a strange dream during the trip.
What about?
I don't remember too clearly, but there was an unfamiliar monster.
It took away the things I cared about one after another.
It was an ominous dream.
That dream might not have been a memory
from the past, but a dream about the future.
No way.
White Knight Agency Japan Branch
I see, understood.
Please tell Haimura-kun I said hi.
Was that from Mari?
Yeah, the Russia group is coming home.
I wish I could have seen it myself, too.
Forbidden curses against forbidden curses.
I bet it would have been as awesome as the Battle of Kursk.
Stop with the nonsense.
It's thanks to that—
Ando!
It's a sign that a Metaphysical is approaching.
So this is a Transportal.
Haimura-han, I wish we could spend more time, but be well.
Say hi to Katya-san and Yuli-san.
Nii-sama, come on, come on.
Yeah, coming.
Voice communication Ando Suruga
I'm home.
Welcome home.
I'm glad you're safe.
Japan's still stuffy.
That was a short return home.
Huh?
Moroha-san.
I've never used it before.
It's a strange sensation.
Satsuki-oneesan?
What's Moroha-san doing?
Nii-sama is...
Sorry, Haimura-han.
It was me who defeated the Russian Rank-S.
I can't just leave them.
The Lightning Emperor is sorry, too.
She'll be back eventually, I'm sure.
It's coming.
Katya-san, cover me from behind.
Got it.
Yuli-san and I will stop it.
Roger.
Moroha-san.
Moroha-san!
Nii-sama told us to come home because everyone must be worried.
And he told me to say hi to you, Maya.
I've been sleeping alone in my room, ever since Moroha-san went to Russia.
I was so lonely.
My pillow was drenched in tears every night.
All right, let's sleep in my room together, then.
I might not replace Nii-sama, but...
What's going on?
I don't know, either.
Jack was successful in defeating the Metaphysical that turned up in Russia.
There's no mistake about that.
Yet Ando's pain is only getting worse.
He finally lost consciousness.
Just wait over there, please.
Why?
I want to be with you as soon as possible, sir.
I just have a really bad
feeling about this.
Cheer up.
Nii-sama will be back tomorrow.
Momo-senpai.
I thought Maya might be lonely.
Is it okay if I sleep with you?
Of course, you're always welcome.
A very middle-class room.
But it might be good social education for me
to sleep in a place like this for a change.
Well sorry I'm middle class.
Good evening.
You, too, Sophie-senpai?
Sorry.
I'm depressed.
Huh?
When you're lonely, I'll talk to you about adult things!
There're so many people here.
No problem, let's pajama party!
That's not the point!
Ranjou-san, are you not even going to serve your guests tea?
I heard potato chips are a given at gatherings like this in Japan, so I brought some.
I brought cola, too.
That's so American, such barbaric taste.
Dammit, do whatever you want!
Did you hear that?
I did.
No mistake about it.
Wh-What?
I've been told that pillow fights are a custom at sleepovers in Japan.
Huh?
Oh? My apologies, Ranjou-san.
Urushibara!
London Bridge!
Here I go, Maya!
How could you?
Pillow attack!
Payback!
I'm pissed now!
Y-You little...
Take this, pillow attack finisher!
I can't eat anymore.
Can't sleep?
No.
But I'm not lonely anymore.
Oh, yeah?
What?
What's wrong?
Ranjou-san.
Shame on you, wetting your bed at your age.
That's not it!
Wait, you were awake?
I'm good at feigning sleep.
Jeez.
Anyway, Maya, let's make a wish before we go to sleep.
So that Nii-sama gets home soon.
Okay.
I wish Moroha-san comes home soon.
I wish Nii-sama comes home soon.
I wish Moroha comes home soon.
Come quick!
It's coming.
What is, Ando?
It's not just an ordinary Metaphysical.
It's the Ancient Dragon.
Good morning, manager.
What is that?
Th-The sky...
All non-Striker students please evacuate to Stadium One.
This is not a drill.
I repeat.
All non-Striker students please evacuate to Stadium One.
The chills I got last night...
It's as if it was waiting for Moroha to be absent.
Don't dismay.
We just have to attack it without Haimura.
Let's do this!
The Metaphysical that emerged is a new type, unknown to us.
Branch coordinator Suruga is hospitalized
with acute illness. He won't be able to deploy.
Sir Edward of the UK branch is currently rushing this way.
Haimura-kun is still in Russia.
The principal is currently evacuating to prepare a Transportal.
Until the Transportal is available again,
we'll have to protect our school with the people we have.
We are fighting for the fate of this Akane Academy.
Everyone, I'm expecting more than your best.
We don't need Haimura, all he's doing is flirting with the Russian beauty, anyway!
This academy gave me peace.
I will protect it.
That's a good attitude.
Captain Isurugi,
I'd like to join as backup on behalf of the UK branch.
May I have permission?
Gladly.
Angela Johnson hereby reporting to the Strikers.
We are the swords of salvation.
We are the saviors.
We are the strike for our people, our peace, and our justice.
It's so big.
It's not a hydra, though, and it's
not as big as the one we fought during summer break.
We can do it, even without Haimura.
Of course we can. Otherwise Akane Academy will vanish.
Good luck, everyone.
It smiled.
What?
Everyone, fan out!
It knows our plan!
Our ambush...
It figured it out.
Where did it go?
Shh.
It's coming.
Burning!
Everyone, leave the forest!
Run, Satsuki!
Run!
Attack with your highest step!
Bright White Frost!
Incinerate!
Lightning!
No way.
It's cast a dispel by chanting in reverse at high speed.
It can cancel out any spell.
Impossible!
Wait, if it can cancel out any spell...
It can also use those spell.
Everyone, anti-fire magic!
Haimura-han.
I remember.
It shows up over and over, even when we're reborn.
The black shadow that takes away everything I hold dear.
That's what it is.
It was like the flames of hell, engulfing everything.
Our faint wish for Moroha-san to return.
Our desire to protect the academy.
Everything.
It burns through literally everything.
