Carmel-san.
I have a message from Johan-san.
"Wilhelmina, please care for this baby."
"Its name is Justus."
This is the new being the Guiding God spoke of.
The heir of the two worlds.
Johan-san knew his death was near, and so told Pheles-san this:
There is one way to overcome death.
Let's make a child with our power of existence.
Pheles.
Then this is...
...the one and only way the two of them could live together.
They changed their existence into a new life...
Justus...
Unconditional love.
What a wonderful boy he is ~de arimasuna.
Spiral...
Did you gather enough power of existence?
Plenty.
The insignia is operating without any issues.
I've achieved my goal.
Ah, right. That was the reward for your work, wasn't it?
So what did you do?
The restoration of something lost to this world.
Thank you.
While we are on the topic, let me give you a parting gift.
It will help your worn out body.
That ring has an insignia I etched onto it a long time ago.
I just made it so it activates under certain conditions.
Certain conditions?
Here is another parting gift.
Let me name your unrestricted spell for you.
Grammatica.
Give thought to its meaning.
Grammatica...
What a horrible portrait of mine.
We'll meet again at the crossroads of fate.
Wilhelmina, I think that boy needs to be raised in the new world.
You should get going.
I cannot do that ~de arimasu.
Disapproval.
Stop wasting time.
No one knows when the door to that new world will close.
However... you still have...
You need to protect Justus.
The Tomogara will recall what Shaher said about this boy once they get used to the new world.
You must raise and train this boy in preparation for that day.
That is true...
But still...
I've finished guiding every Tomogara.
Looks like we didn't all make it through.
Yo! Long time no see!
I brought them like we planned.
A total of 1,225 liberal minded Flame Haze that want to dive into the new world right away.
We need to thank Sophie, who interviewed individuals without being caught by HQ.
Yeah, I hope this is enough of an offering for that old man who lived and breathed the Flame Haze mission.
Keisaku's outside the Fuzetsu with an Outlaw observer.
He was actually pretty handy.
I see.
That is where I was raised.
It's called Tendoukyuu.
Where you were...
Twelve hundred.
That's enough to demonstrate to the new world there are Flame Haze.
The problem is they'll have to dive in to where all of those Tomogara are.
We'll lead the way.
I suppose we have to work for the amount of boasting we do.
We should be able to handle the task.
Leave this to us and go on ahead.
Do not worry.
The Interpreter of Condolence will be here with us.
Yeah, it's not like every last Tomogara's going to the new world.
I guess even the eggheaded monster can see the big fat red thread tying those two together.
See ya!
We'll meet again at the crossroads of fate.
You should have just gone with them.
What a flighty woman.
Love is all about being flighty.
Otherwise, Chiara wouldn't have-
Good luck!
I'm sure you won't lose.
Going to slap down her man and then come over, huh?
You'd better give us the full story later.
Yeah, our Chiara could learn a lesson or two from that.
What's with the tearful eyes?
It's a farewell between long-time drinking buddies.
Let's keep it simple.
I'm...
Thank you very much for everything, Carmel-san.
For many, many things.
My thanks to you, too ~de arimasu.
Much gratitude.
That boy you got.
Don't you get tired of getting one reason to live after another?
Burdens, extra work and pains in the ass, huh?
I do not feel obligated to thank or help them.
I wish to thank and help them ~de arimasu.
Remains unsettled.
I feel that's what I can do for them ~de arimasu.
Then get on with it.
These words are most fitting for you right now.
May the best of luck in the world be with you, Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter...
Shana.
The End in the Distance
Yuuji!
Sakai-kun.
One last job to see to!
I'm here to listen to what you desire, Sakai-kun!
Yes, and my desire is-
He's back to the Yuuji we all knew.
My desire is to use the power of existence the Tomogara left behind to fix Misaki City.
What?
It all makes sense.
Can such a thing be-
It can be done.
This is a spell insignia Rammie created that brings back what was once lost.
You can't do anything about death...
...but a loss of existence can be fixed...
... for both the things that were lost and the people who were eaten by Tomogara.
With that great amount of power of existence...
...this spell insignia I have...
...and...
...Yoshida-san, who participated in tuning the city!
You'll help me, won't you?
He's fast!
That's Yuuji's unrestricted spell!
It's doing something different from before?
Yuuji! Do you plan on fixing yourself, too?
No way.
But if possible, I want Hirai Yukari-san, who is with you, to return.
As long as you're taking her place, she can't be brought back.
So could you hand me her torch that you're holding on to?
If she returns, Mom, Ike, and Ogata-san will not remember you since you were her stand-in.
Regardless of that...
...I am still asking this.
What will you do then?
I will have no regrets after that.
I'll head to Xanadu.
Are you going to fix the copy Misaki City?
That's impossible.
Xanadu is identical to this world, but Misaki City is the one thing missing from it.
Do you remember the explanation I gave you?
"When the links part a certain distance, the links lose each other and they essentially disappear."
In other words, I cannot make a copy of something that doesn't exist.
Misaki City doesn't exist in the new world...
Then why are you going to the other side?!
Go, Sydonay!
Marcosius!
Let's not hold anything back!
You got it, my short blasting fuse, Margery Daw!
Restore the city!
Sakai-kun!
Please!
That's all I wish for!
The Fuzetsu's...
Hurry and catch that annoying guy of yours, midget!
After that, you're free to do whatever you want with him!
That's...
It must be the Arbiter of Reverse Reasoning's Hougu.
It appears to be protecting the entire city.
I'm going to Xanadu.
To Xanadu, where Misaki City does not exist.
There, I will tell the Tomogara they do not need to eat humans...
...and instead, can live with them.
Is the new law we added not enough for you?
My wish lies beyond that law!
It's the coexistence of humans and Tomogara!
It's not a dream or illusion.
The Tomogara themselves have shown the possibility of realising it.
In the thousands of years of their existence, they have begun to acknowledge humans and think of them as great beings!
That's why they sought an identical world!
At the moment of creation, that's what they wished for!
And I promise.
The possibility I see, the prophecy from the Guiding God and the heir of the two worlds...
I will make good use of all of them!
Even if it takes centuries... millennia!
In a world without Misaki City?!
That's right!
All by yourself?
Yes!
Please!
Watch this!
Remember this!
How I was here!
Even as a mirage!
Remember what you see tonight!
These are Sakai-kun's true feelings...
When everything's done...
...then I can be with you.
I will earn the right to walk with you for the first time.
So...
...let's leave Hirai-san behind here.
If you'd told me all of this...
You should have told me this from the very beginning!
Hirai-san's torch...
Shana.
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
soshite kono sora akaku somete
そして この空 赤く染めて
And so, dye this sky red.
mata kuru toki kono mi de susumu dake
また来る時 この一身で 進むだけ
The time has come again for my body to only go forward
I can be with you, even this very instant!
That's not allowed.
I've killed many Flame Haze.
surechigatteiku 'hito' mo magirenakushita 'mono' mo
すれ違っていく’人’も 紛れ失くした’モノ’も
Even the ‘people’ who pass by
and the ‘THINGS’ which become lost in confusion
And indirectly, many humans, too.
I did it deliberately.
itsuka wa kieyuku toki
いつかは 消えゆく記憶
Will one day be like vanished memories
So that I can walk with you.
So that I can change the fate of the Flame Haze.
So that I can protect the people of this city.
atsuku yurugasu 'tsuyosa' hakaku yureru 'yowasa'
熱く揺るがす’強さ’ 儚く揺れる’弱さ’
A passionate unwavering ‘strength’, a fleeting swaying ‘weakness’
So that I can protect the people of this world.
I killed those that got in my way!
shosen onaji mirai
所詮 同じ 結来
They meet the same end after all
So!
And you walking a lonely path will serve as punishment for that?!
sonna nichijou kouka wo tokashi
そんな日常 紅霞を溶かし
Such ordinary days melt the mundane world.
If I'm with you, I'll be happy.
That doesn't serve the purpose!
Because I'd lose everything, it'd serve as punishment!
arawareru hi kureru sekai
現れる陽 紅る世界
The sun appears above the crimson world
kaze ni nabikase sen wo hiite
風になびかせ 線を引いて
Flutter in the wind and draw back the lines.
nagareruyo na kamisaki teki wo sasu
流れるよな髪先 敵を刺す
Like the flowing tips of the hair, pierce the enemy
Sakai Yuuji! You're placing too heavy a burden upon yourself!
buri kitta omoi minagiru yume
振り斬った想い 漲る夢
The feelings which were slashed, the swelling dream
I don't want to hear that from the God of Destruction!
subete wa ima kono te de
すべては今 この手で
Now, I will only carry all of my duties
shimei hatashiteyuku dake
使命 果たしたゆくだけ
in my hands until the end
Yet another unrestricted spell?
A multi-purpose type, huh?
We don't have any counter for it.
We'll force our way through!
Why do you try to take everything upon yourself?
I told you!
It won't serve as punishment if I'm not alone!
I'm not your scoreboard!
naze takanaru kokoro ni mayoi tomadoi kanjiru no
なぜ 高鳴る心に 迷い戸惑い 感じるの
Why do I feel hesitation and confusion in my rapidly throbbing heart?
I won't reject you!
So say that you will go with me!
hayaku itazura ni abaredasu itami kowashite
早く いたずらに暴れだす 痛み 壊して
Hurry, destroy this pain which explodes in useless rage
I refuse!
Yuuji!
Take...
Take everything I've got!
sora ni nijimun da yaketa kumo wa
空に滲んだ 焼けた雲は
The stained and scorched clouds in the sky
uchi ni himeta negai ga ko ga shiteru
内に秘めた願いが 焦がしてる
burn the wishes concealed within
Now's our chance, Marcosius.
Ready for the best Improvised Verse of the century?
tameratta hitomi ukabu namida
躊躇った瞳 浮かぶ涙
Tears welled up in my hesitant eyes,
Yeah! It's the biggest stage we'll ever stand on!
Let's do it!
demo ashita no chikara ni kaete
でも明日の 力に変えて
but change them into strength tomorrow
Who killed Cock Robin?
Who caught his blood?
Who'll dig his grave?
subete sasagete maiorita chi
すべて捧げて 舞い降りた地
Offer up everything to the land where I have descended.
Who'll be the clerk?
saeru yaiba hitotsu de yami wo kiru
冴える刃一つで 闇を斬る
With my single bright blade, I shall decapitate the darkness
itsudatte mune no oku no hikari matatakasete
いつだって胸の 奥の光 瞬かせて
The light deep within my heart will always sparkle
Who'll carry the coffin?
kono mi de shimei hatashiteyuku made
この一身で 使命 果たしてゆくまで
I will only carry out my duties until the end
Still won't die? Give me a break!
You're telling me ten million Flame Hazes' worth of flame isn't enough?
The bell toll for poor Cock Robin!
I'm pooped.
I'm gonna die.
Yeah, so right.
How rare. Did you die, General?
Yeah.
Well, I have a feeling I wanted to.
But one day, the three of us will be together again.
With the Commander included, it'll be four of us.
Yeah.
The day will come.
You aren't taking love seriously, are you?
If love is why you're doing all of this...
...then I think you can act a little more selfishly.
I can't.
I can't do what I want...
...then selfishly ask for her to be with me.
You can.
I still love you.
I love you more than anyone!
No matter what selfish act you do, if I think you're wrong, I'll stop you.
If you're in pain, I'll save you.
If you're lost, I'll work with you.
But being apart is the last thing I allow.
Shana...
I understand your reasoning.
But I want to hear your feelings, setting reasoning aside.
I'll probably do more selfish things.
And probably bad things, too.
I'll probably ask you to save me when I'm in pain, and I'd like you to work with me when I'm lost.
But if you'll allow me, I do want to be with you.
Sure you can.
Shana.
Sukoshi waratte machi o nagameta haruka ki oku
少し笑って 街を眺めた 遥か記憶
Much of my memory was overlooking the town with a slight smile.
What's this?
This is... Right, Rammie said that he...
Itami wa tsuyosa jikan ga omoide ni kawaru toki
痛みは強さ 時間は思い出に変わる時
A time when the intense pain changed to memories.
I don't know what sort of spell insignia it is, but Shana...
He's not a Torch anymore.
He's an actual existence.
Tobira o akeba
扉を開けた
I opened the door.
I am?
Looks like I'm greedier than I thought I was.
Shine Asahi ga sasu boku ga mite iru no wa mirai
shine 朝日がさす 僕ら見ているのは未来
Shine, what we see is the shining sun, pointing towards the future.
I feel like I can do anything now!
Shall we head to the new world, Xanadu?
Fine Te o sashi dasu kimi wa boku o terasu hikari
fine 手を差し出す君は 僕を照らす光
Fine, your held out hand is a light for me.
Misaki City's restoration must have been completed.
It turned out as Sakai-kun wished.
Rise asahi noboru fuseta me o moichido agete
rise 朝日昇る 伏せた目をもう一度上げて
Raise your eyes once again to see the morning sun.
Eyes hitomi utsusu kimi no kakushin o mitsumetai
eyes 瞳映す 君の核心を見つめたい
Eyes, You want to look into the cores of your pupils in the mirror.
Shine asahi ga sasu boku ga mite iru no wa mirai
shine 朝日がさす 僕ら見ているのは未来
Shine, what we see is the shining sun, pointing towards the future.
Fine de o sashi ga su kimi wa boku o terasu hikari
fine 手を差し出す君は 僕を照らす光
Fine, your held out hand is a light for me.
