The Red Night―― it appears without warning.
Real, yet unreal. A dark world which exists in an alternate dimension.
Strange black knights are attacking the boys and girls who have been dragged inside, calling them "Fragments".
Why them? Just what will happen?
Will an answer await them at the end of this nightmare?
歪んだ覚醒の中で 赤き夜が目を醒ませば
yuganda kakusei no naka de akaki yoru ga me wo samaseba
In the midst of a distorted awakening, the red night sky awakens.
黒き闇永遠の眠り 月影に怯えてる
kuraki yami toa no nemuri tsukikage ni obieteru
Darkness and eternal sleep are frightened by the moonlight.
炎が包み込んでく 世界を焼き尽くしても
honou ga tsutsumikondeku subete wo yakidukushitemo
Even if everything is engulfed by flames, burning this world to a crisp,
祈りだけは絶やさずに 友と交わした明日のため
inori dake wa tayasazu ni tomo to kawashita asu no tame
I will never let my prayers be extinguished, for the sake of the promised future with my friends.
溢れる涙 連声に響け 忘却の剣へと
afureru namida renjou ni hibike boukyaku no tsurugi he to
Let this flood of tears and the echoes of our cries reach the blade of oblivion.
刹那さに溺れてゆく魂 浮遊して往く光
setsunasa ni oboreyuku tamashii fuyuu shiteyuku hikari
The spirit indulges in the sadness, the wandering light.
空を切り裂いて
sora wo hirisaite
Split the sky.
此の世界 希望を抱いて逝こう
kono sekai kibou wo daite ikou
Let us embrace the hope of this world and move forward.
How persistent!
Ew, it's a student from our school!
Did he get into a fight? I can't believe this.
Like I thought, time hasn't passed in this world.
How nice... you guys can be so carefree.
Welcome, everyone, to the Study of Modern Society Club...
Abandon all hope
You who enter here
...in which I, Hirohara Yukiko, am the president!
The Study of Modern Society Club uses all of modern society...
...as a target for research and investigation.
In other words, it's the modern version of archaeology.
I've already heard that many times.
Yay! My club finally has new members!
On top of that, two girls and one boy!
Huh?
Impossible.
Nee-san died 7 years ago.
What I saw in Red Night was obviously an illusion.
But... at that time...
Kakeru-kun, is something wrong?
It's better if you don't worry about too much.
Everyone's together now, after all.
You're right.
I'm so happy... I was able to meet so many companions.
You're amazing, Yukiko-chan. You managed to survive Red Night all by yourself, right?
Yeah.
In other words, you also have special powers?
I'm just a normal girl.
But I'm really scary when I'm angry!
You're always so cheerful, Yukiko-chan.
That's my only good point, after all.
Geez, who on earth did you fight to get such injuries, and where?
You're just barely at the minimum attendance.
You've been skipping a lot lately. Do you want to advance to the next grade or not?
Quiet, you man-less spinster who couldn't even get married.
Takahisa, I'm very happy about your policy of not hitting girls.
Wait! Stop right there, Takahisa!
"Fragments".
The Black Knights called us "Fragments".
There is no need to answer Fragments who are about to disappear.
What do they mean by Fragments?
And how many Fragments are there?
Yes!
I know another person.
When Red Night first appeared,
I was saved by an ally of justice-like person.
Yukiko-kun, do you know her?
It was a boy, not a girl.
How could I talk about that world... and about this power?
Takahisa!
I won't let you get away!
How persistent!
Alright, I've decided. Today's club activity will be to search for that person.
And since that's been decided, let's get going. Hurry up!
I'll intrude for a bit.
Stop running, Takahisa! Where are you?
That was a close call.
Ow...
What are you doing so suddenly? How rude.
You're Mr. Ally of Justice!
Huh? Glasses girl, it's you again.
Everyone, the search is over.
Huh?
It's this person.
Eh!?
What a surprise.
I had no idea that this many people could see the Black Moon.
You're called Satsuki, right?
What is it?
You really don't have any abilities?
I can't believe you were able to survive like that until now. Quite impressive.
What!?
Don't get angry, it's a compliment.
Want some chips?
No.
I'm fine.
No thanks.
Then I'll take up your offer.
But it's like this, eh? No one knows any detailed information about Red Night?
Then I'll be going.
Wait, Tajima Takahisa.
You're not joining the Study of Modern Society Club?
The weak dogs always gather together.
Tajima Takahisa has no interest in groups.
You're calling us dogs!?
What if Red Night comes again?
I'll think of something on my own.
Kakeru-kun...
What a rude person.
No, although it seems that way, he's pretty kind.
Yes, kind.
It isn't disgusting at all. Rather, it would make everyone jealous.
Kakeru-senpai, you won't be able to win by swinging randomly.
The more anxious you are, the wilder your swings will get!
What are you fighting for?
It's...
...to protect Yuka.
Your words sound very hollow.
You're all talk. Your body can't keep up.
Your feelings didn't become your strength.
Does the sword you're holding contain your resolution?
Resolution...
Resolution means to reach enlightenment.
But your feelings haven't reached enlightenment.
You must train your heart before your body.
For your feelings to become strength, that's all you need to think about.
Yes!
Let my feelings become my strength.
I want the power to protect Yuka.
Yuka!
Kakeru-senpai?
Kakeru-kun, what's wrong?
Ah, no. What was I doing?
I don't know how to say this, but if that was an actual battle,
never mind protecting Yuka-san, you would have died instantly.
Is that so? As I thought.
Ah, I'm sorry.
I just...
No, it's the truth.
Kakeru-kun...
In order to test Kakeru's resolution, I originally planned to attack her with my sword.
That move just now...
You're the one who
awakened the devil.
Say, Yuka.
Right now, I'm still embarrassingly weak.
But I'll protect you for sure.
Don't push yourself. I don't have any power, either.
I just want you to be by my side.
I think this is also for myself.
I want to protect you. And I want these feelings to become my strength.
Kakeru-kun...
Hi, good morning, Shiori.
I'm very happy to see you. What are you doing, Shiori?
How much does it cost?
Please do not use such revolting Italian.
But I wanted to be in an affectionate bilingual relationship with that hot-blooded Latina who returned to school!
Please burn. Burn till you become dust.
Oh! I understand.
Hey Shiori-chan, it's "ladies first" in Europe, right?
I'll listen to whatever you say.
Please go straight down this road, turn right at that intersection, and die.
Yes! It would be my pleasure!
Go straight!
Turn right-
Carbonara!
Arrivederci. Farewell.
Ahh, he's a huge idiot, right?
If he gets any stupider, I won't know when to call him an idiot anymore.
Kusakabe-senpai!
Hey.
Yuka already went on ahead.
Kakeru-kun, about yesterday's training.
Yes?
No, it's nothing.
Yuka...
Good work! Right now, I'm doing research on behalf of modern society.
Research on behalf of modern society?
Abandon all hope
You who enter here
Yes! I'm investigating why Yuka-san's breasts are so big, despite having a childish body.
Stop! Yukiko-chan!
They aren't saggy or pointy at all! Without using a push-up bra, this is a modern miracle!
What a shameful act in this dignified school...
Hey, Yukiko-chan. Stop, stop already...
It's coming!
Red Night...
What's that?
Takahisa-senpai is fighting.
What?
Burn to a crisp!
Takahisa-senpai is a pyrokinetic psychic.
A pyrokineticist.
A Black Knight!
Fragments, I won't fail tonight.
Just what are you guys?
I have nothing to say to sinners who will soon be corpses.
It's useless, huh?
Yukiko-kun, I'll leave these two to you.
Okay.
Kannagiri Nagamitsu.
Take this!
This one's a martial artist?
He's fast! Kusakabe-senpai is being pushed back.
It has begun.
Yes, Avaritia-sama.
To think these Fragments actually defeated Gula.
Do not fear. This time, Invidia and Ira will go.
And I, Superbia, will accompany them.
Watch out!
Kakeru-kun!
I'm fine. More importantly, how is Senpai?
Misuzu-senpai is in a pinch.
If only I had power.
I don't think power is something that people can obtain by just wishing for it.
When I was forced to obtain power, that was the situation for me.
I'm going.
Y-Yukiko-chan?
This speed...
What amazing combat ability.
You bastard!
Yukiko-kun!
You're just a little girl. Don't underestimate me!
What!?
Yukiko-chan!?
It's like she's another person.
Noo!
Yukiko!
Ira.
Invidia, eh?
Originally, I thought leaving the Fragments to Ira would have been more than enough.
It is time for all of you to die.
Wait a second!
The ally of justice has arrived.
My face... How dare you!
I'll kill you!
Red Night is about to end.
You'll pay for this.
The next time we meet, for sure...
We're saved.
What's wrong, Yuka?
K-Kakeru-kun.
No way, that wound...
Looks like I messed up.
Yukiko!
Yukiko-chan!
When I take off my glasses, I become like that.
A split personality?
Yeah...
Those superhuman combat abilities and that immense killing intent...
Where did you learn those things?
Oh, that? I don't really want to talk about it...
Leaving that aside, Yukiko-chan, is your injury okay?
It healed!
Actually, I'm capable of self-regeneration.
I've had this undying body since birth.
You can't die?
Yeah. I'm really disgusting, right?
It's fine.
I'm already used to it.
Since long ago, everyone's thought of me like that.
I was born in the country of Drasvenia.
A place rife with war and massacre...
That's enough.
It's fine, Yukiko.
There are now four people who accepted me.
Everyone here, and...
It isn't disgusting at all. Rather, it would make everyone jealous.
Because even if you're injured, you can recover instantly.
And go back to your beautiful self.
Yukiko-chan.
Thank you very much, Yuka-san.
Kakeru-senpai, Misuzu-senpai.
And...
Takahisa-senpai!
I'm looking forward to you joining the club!
世界を崩すピースは とても軽く
sekai wo kuzusu piisu ha totemo karuku
The fragments of this destroyed world are very light.
日々を過ごす片隅 ずっと潜んでる
hibi wo sugosu katasumi zutto hisonderu
They pass each day in hidden corners, forever unseen.
差し出された諸刃に映るのは
sashi dasareta moro ha ni utsuru no wa
I now see the happiness in your eyes...
今は楽しげな君の目
ima wa tanoshige na kimi no me
...reflecting from that drawn double-edged sword.
守る者はただーつだけ そう 君さ
mamoru mono wa tada hitotsu dake sou kimi sa
You are the only one I wish to protect.
溢れ出す思いを あなた
afuredasu omoi wo anata
I will convey my overflowing thoughts to you.
贖罪の夜を 愛しくなる
shokuzai no yoru wo itoshikunaru
Even on this night of atonement, you've become beautiful.
どんな深い闇も 僕らをひとつに結ぶ
donna fukai yami mo bokura wo hitotsu ni musubu
No matter how dark it is, we will be united as one.
震えた手 二度と振り向かず
furueta te nidoto furimukazu
Never turn back, and say goodbye to those shaky hands.
僕らその明日のため
bokura sono asu no tame
For our tomorrow.
I believe ぎゅっと抱きしめた
I believe gyutto dakishimeta
While embracing you tightly, I will believe...
まだ見えぬその真実
madamienu sono shinjitsu
...this yet unseen truth.
Next Episode:
For the sake of friends and tomorrow.
Will an answer await us at the end of this nightmare?
