Please excuse me.
Director Yorgo, where are you going?
I was summoned by the Wodon Congress.
To explain the damages from the Jinx in various areas.
"The Jinx can't be an Anti-Thanatos weapon.
Regardless of there being people or buildings...
it has a defect of attacking automatically."
You should've known that, Erenfried.
Don't mobilize the Jinx till I return.
I'll show Director Yorgo...
that I'm far superior to Professor Rayne!
Thanatos emerging in 5 seconds.
Initiating attack mode.
Why?
My Jinx should've been perfect!
Dark Clouds
This is about the Jinx causing considerable damage to Navarre village...
The Jinx were mobilized to suppress the Thanatos.
There was no other way but to inflict minor damage.
Didn't the Jinx's attacks have almost no effect on the Thanatos?
We're told the village burned down!
There are also rumors that the Jinx were destroyed by the Thanatos.
We have yet to confirm that information.
However, it's true we're successfully suppressing the Thanatos everywhere.
Right now the Jinx's mobilization is temporarily on hold.
And we will proceed to do even more improvements.
In just a few more days, you will all be able to see a powered-up Jinx.
How can you prove the Jinx will be more useful in times to come?
An available means of defeating Thanatos like the Jinx is on hand...
now that we can't solely depend on the Silver Wood Knights.
Erenfried.
It's impossible to continue this fight any longer.
Requesting orders to withdraw.
The mobilized Jinx are being destroyed in succession?
What's the meaning of this!?
Isn't the Jinx project supposed to be suspended?
Aren't there a lot of damages being done?
Mr. Yorgo, we'd like you to explain the situation.
Erenfried!
Damn! Damn!
Jinx's damage rate: 99.8%.
The plan has completely failed.
What should I do?
I have no face to show to Director Yorgo.
Oh yeah...
I have to research some more.
And I need research materials...
Hey, am I right?
Such nice weather!
Rayne hasn't returned since yesterday...
I wonder what's wrong?
Since when were you there?
Do you like it there?
Good grief... Cats are so fickle.
It smells good!
Hey, were you led here by the smell?
I baked scones.
I'm sure Rayne will be tired when he comes back; so let's eat it with everyone later!
"The Jinx faces a crushing defeat?"
Oh, Ervin-kun!
He appears to dislike me.
Yo, Ervin!
Did you come to welcome me?
It sure is peaceful here...
But we may never be able to return to these peaceful days anymore.
As expected, the Thanatos are becoming more atrocious because of the Jinx.
Because of the Jinx? Why is that...?
Pathogens can resist strong medicine when it's used.
Because the Jinx was used, the Thanatos conversely became strong enough to resist it.
It means the Wonder Drug called "The Jinx" finally couldn't take effect.
I also heard the Silver Wood Knights are having trouble fighting.
I'm sure everyone's suffering...
Let's go too!
Damn! Damn! It won't move!
The Aube Hunters!
They keep on coming no matter how many we defeat!
Ange!
Oh Purifying Light...
Here, Ange.
Ah, thank you very much!
The Thanatos earlier were quite tough, huh?
Yes...
Mr. J.D.?
The Jinx is an artifact; so if no one fixes it, it'll remain destroyed forever.
Mr. J.D...
Artifacts are like my brothers, so...
It's hard for me to see them like this.
I wonder if he's all right?
Ah, sorry... I remembered the guy I looked so much alike.
He's probably an Artifact built after research on me.
To me, he's like a twin brother.
I wonder if he's fighting Thanatos somewhere in this world?
Mr. J.D... you sure are kind!
If he's your twin brother, then surely he must also have a kind heart!
Ange...
I wonder if there's someone he wants to protect too...?
It'd be nice if he does...
Someone who would make his heart warm just by being by that person's side...
Our village was attacked by Thanatos!
We wish to have an audience with the Religious Leader!
Mathias, right now the world is haunted by a cloud of anxiety like never before.
We must fulfill the responsibility of what we must do for the world.
You've done well for these long years.
You may leave.
You must accomplish your mission.
Hey, that's a pretty box!
What's that for?
I was ordered by the Great Elder to give this to Lord Mathias.
But I can't find Lord Mathias, so I can't give it to him...
Then I'll deliver it for you.
You're busy with work, aren't you?
I-Is that so?
Then I'll leave it to you.
Leave it to me!
I knew a day like this would come.
I knew it... There's nothing for me-
What's wrong, Mathias?
René!
Nothing really.
Same with you: is something the matter?
They said this was a delivery from the Great Elder to you!
From the Great Elder?
Here, Mathias!
Hey, what's inside?
Wow! That sure is pretty!
Will you use that in ceremonies?
No.
This is like a letter.
Like a letter?
You sure have a weird way of saying things!
It really is a pretty dagger!
I think it suits you a lot!
To think...
I would be handed this from your hands, René...
Welcome back, Angelique.
Are you all right, Ange?
Yes.
You must be tired.
I'll make some tea right now.
Thank you very much, Mr. Nyx.
I'll make some sweet things.
Ah, no need! You must also be tired, so please take a rest.
But I'm...
That's right, J.D.
I can prepare tea by myself.
Please sit down and wait too.
But you must also be tired, Mr. Nyx-
I'm all right. I came back here before you guys, after all.
Where's Rayne and Hyuuga?
They went to Fleur.
To Fleur!?
Yes. I received a notice after you guys left this morning...
Rayne-kun?
Ange, are you worried about Fleur?
It's your birthplace, if I remember correctly...
Yes... But I'm sure it's all right!
As long as both Rayne and Sir Hyuuga are there...
Let's leave right away, you two!
Don't tell me something happened at Fleur...?
No, Fleur is all right.
But...
It seems a lot of Thanatos have appeared in the neighboring Melrose Girl's Academy.
A lot of students are still left inside.
It appears the Foundation has also dispatched their Jinx...
The Jinx?
The Jinx can't hold on for too long, right?
It seems like Rayne-kun and Hyuuga are also headed there.
Everyone... please be safe!
All right!
Hurry and run!
Rayne!
It's no good!
There's just too many of them!
So they've also come this way...
Sir Hyuuga! Rayne!
Lady Angelique!
Leave this place to us and deal with the rest!
Yes, understood!
Let's go, Ange!
Y-Yes!
Headmistress!
Angelique!
You don't know how reassuring it is that you've all come...
It's already all right that we've come.
Please relax.
Thank you, Mr. Nyx.
But what shall I do?
Angelique, we can't find Hannah and Sally!
Hannah and Sally?
They should be with that newspaper reporter, but...
Headmistress!
I'm all right.
I'll bring these two to a safe place!
Then we'll look for Miss Hannah and Miss Sally.
Hannah... Sally...!
Be safe!
Hannah! Sally!
Thanatos!
Angelique, please look for them.
B-But...!
I'll fight a hot battle right now.
I'll follow you right after.
I-I got it!
Angelique, you mustn't overdo yourself!
If there's a Thanatos, please be sure to call for me.
Okay!
You mustn't look away!
It seems like you've been attacked by the Jinx, but...
I won't let you go now that you've appeared in front of me.
My own weakness ticks me off...
Hurry, you two!
Hurry and run!
B-But...!
You...!
Thanatos...!
Mr. Bernard!
Hannah! Sally!
Ange!
Wait! I'll call for Mr. Nyx right now-
I don't have time to call for Mr. Nyx!
I have no choice but to do it...
I knew it... purifying an unharmed Thanatos is...
Angelique...!
Oh Purifying Light...
Please save my precious friends!
Ange!
Thank you!
We were so scared!
Hannah... Sally!
What a great relief...!
Angelique...
To think you'd come so far to save us...
Mr. Bernard... So you were the newspaper reporter the headmistress told me about.
How's the headmistress?
She's fine!
Mr. J.D. took her to a safe place!
I see...
Thank goodness...
How about you, Mr. Bernard? Are you injured?
This is nothing!
And I'm sorry...
I've put your friends in danger...
Please don't mind it, Mr. Bernard.
It's seems the Thanatos have settled down.
Let's go to a safe place while we can.
Yes!
Ange!
Angelique!
Mr. Bernard!
Stay put.
Lady Angelique!
Angelique!
Angelique's been kidnapped!
Next
We have to bring Angelique back!
Ervin, help us too!
We're extremely busy, after all!
Amazing!
You said a great thing!
Captive Angelique
Next, Captive Angelique.
Please take away all his cushions!
How's That Again? Bernard says "neko no te mo karitai (tokoro dakara ne)" which means "to be extremely busy". However, if you take it literally, Bernard says "We're in the position to even ask a cat to lend a hand." Upon saying the pun, Rayne is amused, while Angelique isn't, thus making her say "Please take away all his cushions (zabuton)!" In Japanese comedy, if a joke isn't funny, they ask to take away some cushions the comedian is sitting on.
