She won't wake up...
A side-effect of Enigma's taking over her mind and memory.
Then, she won't wake up until Enigma is sealed?
As I've said before, I help at this research facility.
If I learn anything, I'll let you know at once.
Okay, please do.
Mom...
Enigma, still on the loose,
attacked three more people with special abilities yesterday.
Enigma Still At Large
So far, there have been at least thirty victims.
Haruhiko...
We should get going.
He's holding back.
Yeah.
He finally met his mom, and she was a Phantom...
On top of that, he lost his abilities.
He must be hurting so bad.
Haruhiko-kun, correct?
Yes.
I'm glad I could meet you here.
Uh...
Nice to meet you.
I'm, well,
your mother's current husband.
Eh?
Huh?
It was about two years ago that I met your mother.
I never asked her much about her past,
but she seemed to have some complicated circumstances.
And she seemed to have been through a hard time.
That reminds me...
Your mother would stare at this book every day.
Genie of Al-Kaun
I'd like you to look inside.
She'd been wanting to see you all this time.
But she thought she had no right to.
She was wrought with guilt.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Haruhiko...
I'm fine.
I learned some things.
I feel better now.
Okay.
There, there.
Now, to visit Ruru!
Stop it, Senpai!
Hey, let's buy her pudding.
Welcome home.
How was your mother?
Oh... She seemed normal.
I see.
Is she always like this?
Yeah.
I was so worried!
I hope she gets better soon!
You should have come, too.
Absolutely not!
I would be nothing but a nuisance...
I'll prepare barley tea.
Did you know barley tea is a healthy drink that even Hippocrates drank frequently?
According to his book, three liters or so...
Hang on, you're going off on a tangent.
I'm sorry.
I wonder what's wrong with Ruru-chan.
She was acting like Haruhiko-oniisan just now.
I don't know...
It's not like Enigma did anything to her.
I wonder if it has anything to do with your losing your special abilities.
Ruru-chan's close to you, so perhaps she's feeling the effects.
I don't know... Just because we're always together?
Sorry to keep you waiting!
I'll pour you some right now.
I'll help you, Ruru-chan.
No, it's fine.
Well, can you tell where Enigma is?
Do we have any intel?
We haven't been given any information, either.
Although the brass seems to have learned something.
You know, this version of Lulu...
...ain't half-bad!
Indeed!
I spilled some...
And she's a klutz?
Koito-san?
What's with the scary face?
Where is it?
Where's what?
Have you finished fixing this?
Not yet.
Fix it now!
Wait, Koito...
There's a cover-up.
This is a communication device for accessing the Alayashiki servers.
We'll use it to hack the servers.
Hack?
We need as much information as possible.
Otherwise, we won't be able to take down Enigma.
Fix it immediately!
Easier said than done...
U-Um,
in that case...
He fixed Dad's PC one time.
Wow, he's handy!
No way... That doesn't mean he can fix it—
Looks like it's fixed.
No way!
We're in.
Wow, he's a hacker, too!
What was all my effort for?
It would be bad if they found out about this...
Who cares?
We're running out of time.
Are you sure they're hiding information from us?
No doubt.
She isn't just any Phantom.
There.
Good work, Albrecht.
Enhanced Phantom [Enigma]
"Enhanced Phantom, Enigma."
Enhanced Phantom?
What's that?
Alayashiki has been pooling information about the special abilities
of the students at each school
and researching how to enhance Phantoms artificially.
Enhance them artificially?!
What's going on?
They've been grafting human DNA to captured Phantoms,
among other scientific procedures.
They aren't anything like the original Phantoms.
Wh-What the hell?
Why would they do that?
For low-cost labor, military deployment as man-made soldiers,
and pharmaceutical test subjects...
They sure came up with some twisted ideas.
No laws protect Phantoms, after all.
But Enigma ended up with power far beyond their expectations.
Now she looks down on humans and has begun to rebel.
Entry beyond this point is restricted.
Please present authorization.
This is my home.
So I don't need permission.
Please state your business.
We will direct your inquiry to the appropriate party...
Looks like Alayashiki intends to feign ignorance to the end.
That's not fair!
These guys are way worse than Phantoms!
Wait.
They have information on us, too.
Is it what Himeno-sensei sent them?
Yes.
"Students with Special Abilities at Hosea Academy:
On Ichijo Haruhiko and Fairy-Type Phantom Ruru."
About Haruhiko-san and me?
What does it say?
Hang on.
Yes?
Got it.
Enigma showed up.
Where?
At the Alayashiki research facility
where your mother is.
Stop right there!
I have no interest in you humans.
All I want is the information at this facility.
Stop!
Captain...
Take aim!
Fire!
Retreat! Retreat!
Please do not come any closer.
For your own safety, do not come any closer.
What's going on?
What do we do, Haruhiko?
I'll go it alone from here.
Haruhiko, you...
Like hell we'd walk away and leave your helpless ass behind, you dolt!
She's right.
Are you trying to look cool or something? What are you, stupid?
S-Stupid?
We're all worried about you...
We're going together!
Reina...
Exactly.
Albrecht will definitely help.
Do you ever even think about how others feel?!
Yes...
Don't "yes" me!
Guys, you were here?
Sensei?
We're headed to the rear gate.
What is Enigma after?
Phantom data stored in the research facility and hospital.
Enigma has Ichijo-kun's summoning ability.
All she needs now is data, and she can control Phantoms at will.
If that happens...
Yes.
Enigma's ultimate goal is to control Phantoms and dominate humanity.
Enigma has been attacking those with special abilities.
She's become even stronger.
Evacuating the patients is our first priority.
Please proceed calmly!
This is getting bad...
There's a risk that you'll have your abilities stolen as well.
Please avoid engaging Enigma, and focus on evacuating everyone.
She's here.
Enigma!
She's going for the hospital first.
No way! There are still people here!
Senpai...
I can't let you go in your current state!
But...
You have us.
Haruhiko-san...
Let's do this.
Yes.
Let's.
Wait!
Albrecht, please.
No, come back!
My, my.
I remember you lot from somewhere.
What, you think you'll become the queen of Phantoms or something?
"Queen"? That does have a nice ring to it.
Yes, I shall have all humans and Phantoms at my command...
It's something only I could do.
You were created by humans, weren't you?
And still?
Indeed.
I was created by humans.
As a test subject.
Every nook and cranny of my body was toyed with and modified.
I was turned into a creature unlike Phantoms, humans, or anything else.
You despise humans.
Of course not!
I'm thankful now.
I am a Phantom, and yet I can use human special abilities.
It's proof that I've transcended both humans and Phantoms...
I am the peak of evolution!
Might makes right.
That is nature's law.
I shall have your abilities!
Let's take her down.
Yeah.
Yes.
All right! They pinned her down!
Guys!
I think I'll take your abilities now.
No...
Senpai!
No, Haruhiko-san!
Haruhiko?
Why did you come here?
My, my.
Look who showed up...
Enigma!
I'll take you down in this form, Haruhiko.
Haruhiko...
I'll put you out of your misery quickly.
Haruhiko-san!
Look out!
Haruhiko!
Haruhiko-san!
Are you okay?
How heroic, Haruhiko.
You bring a tear to Mother's eye.
Sensei!
Ichijo-kun!
There might be a way to regain your ability!
Listen carefully.
Ruru-chan was born from you!
Eh?
Huh?!
After observing you all this time, I've come to that conclusion.
I believe Ruru-chan is a manifestation of the freewheeling personality
that you subconsciously repressed.
In which case, Ruru-chan would inherently have the same abilities.
It's possible that she's synchronized to your growth.
Oh?
I'll have that ability as well, then.
No, you won't.
And what do we do?
We transfer the ability stored within Ruru-chan to Ichijo-kun.
But how?
Do the same thing that Enigma did to steal your ability.
Ah. Got it—
Wait, what?!
Do it, Haruhiko...
Senpai!
She's right! You don't have time to think!
Hurry!
With Haruhiko-san? I can't...
Wh-Why are you being shy?
You can do it, Haruhiko-kun.
Not you too, Reina-chan!
Just do it already!
Senpai!
Damn it.
Ruru!
Okay, Haruhiko-san.
Y-You...
Hurry up!
Okay!
I won't let you.
Ruru.
Haruhiko-san...
That's far enough!
Haruhiko-san...
Ruru.
Is this our internal world?
Let's hurry up and find out where your ability is stored.
Haruhiko!
Ruru!
No.
Oh, dear. I overcooked them.
Haruhiko?
Haruhiko-kun!
It worked!
But it's all the same.
I'll merely take your ability again.
Or do you want to team up?
We lived together for a while, after all.
It might be nice.
Invoke!
Don't forget. I have that exact same ability.
These are the Phantoms you sealed.
With the research data, I'll be able to control even more Phantoms.
You've failed to understand one thing.
True, your ability is the same as the one you took from me.
But humans can grow!
Marchosias... Cthulhu, come!
Go, Marchosias, Cthulhu!
Wow.
Damned human...
Come on, guys. It's our turn to attack.
Damned human!
Marchosias!
Haruhiko!
Please...
Let's end this, Enigma.
Thrashing Phantom, reveal your secrets to the Book of Thoth!
There's more to humans than I thought.
I enjoyed the time...
we spent together.
So did I.
We need to show them humans aren't so bad,
so let's do our very best!
Yeah!
Haruhiko!
Yay!
Ruru! You're back to normal?
Yeah.
Everyone!
Kurumi-chan! Sensei!
You did it, everyone!
Thanks to me.
That's true.
Good work, Albrecht.
Mom...
It's me, Haruhiko.
Haruhiko...
Mom.
You've grown...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry... I'm sorry!
You held on to this book, huh?
I'd forgotten all about it.
Because it was the first book you loved.
Mom!
I missed you...
Good for you, Haruhiko.
And so, I was reunited for real with my mom.
Daily News Alayashiki Faces Criminal Investigation
Alayashiki underwent scrutiny for concealing the truth.
Everyone whose special abilities were stolen returned to normal.
That's kind of lame.
I'm part of Haruhiko?
Maybe you're more like his twin than a part of him.
That's right. At some point, you were one.
Twins, huh?
My boy, you may call me "Onee-san."
You're the older one?
We also exchanged stickers today.
You can have some, Koito-san.
Thanks.
I want some, too!
Okay, which do you want?
Come to think of it, there was a character like her in that picture book.
Well...
Let's see...
Hurry up, Haruhiko!
Coming!
You're all here.
The new job is a little hard, but I'm sure you'll have no problem.
Will you accept it?
Yes.
Phantoms: real hallucinations born of the human brain.
We live in this shaky world where the line between reality and fantasy has become blurred.
But you know what?
I happen to like this world.
