So what are the demands of the terrorists who hijacked the bus?
To send the peace corp troops away from Artai.
Aries Government Office Hexagon
And to release Nagi Dài Artai, former Grand Duke, from our Desperate Jail to hold a trial.
Lieutenant General Bowman, report the situation please.
Yes, ma'am.
It's an occupied highway bus that runs between the eastern border and here, the capital.
Ten hostages including bus attendants.
The terrorists have planted a bomb in the bus and are threatening to detonate it if their conditions are not met.
Madam President, with the presidential election ahead a wrong decision could affect your votes.
Who's in charge right now?
As of twelve minutes ago, we, the National Security Department, have taken control.
Currently, the Otome Delta Force is at the site.
They can charge in when you give the order.
With hostages, we can't make any careless moves.
We must handle this with great caution.
Please leave it to me.
The code name of the plan is "Silent Sea."
A quiet ocean.
It's a nice name.
Thank you, Madam President.
It is "silent," so...
Please don't worry, I've already taken care of-
We're very sorry.
She got away from us.
I've told you, that size doesn't work on her anymore!
R1, standing by.
R2, standing by.
R3, standing by.
Target in sight. I can fire on command.
Stay Dorothy.
We must avoid unnecessary agitation.
Quietly and calmly.
Silent.

Copy that, Lieutenant General Bowman.
We'll quietly and secretly detain Brigadier General-
You cowards!
Release the hostages and fight me fair and square!
Brigadier General!
It's Brigadier General Armitage!
Send those terrorists home, Brigadier General!
Yeah!
You do something too, Lieutenant Hallard!
I will not!
Okay, calm down, calm down.
Looks like it was too late.
We're sorry.
Ah, Irina Woods.
Yeah, I can hear you clearly.
This is really convenient.
What? So Arika Yumemiya is here.
She's on what?
Come on, cowards. Answer me!
What is with that arrogant woman?
It's Meister Haruka Armitage.
Chrysant's Otome.
That "Destroyer Armitage?"
If we make the wrong move, we'll be in deep shit.
Mashiro-chan, those are my sweets...
We're in the middle of listening to candidate Ishigermin, but there seems to be a move in the bus hijack case.
We're changing the camera to there.
So what? If you're not going to come out, I'll come in, you villains!
Stay back! Come closer, and the bus will explode along with the passengers!
Go on and give it a try!
People with true Aries spirit won't be freaked out by a bo-
Is she serious?
Excuse us!
I came from Garderobe. Who's in charge here?
M-Me-
Chie Hallard, you've been promoted a lot to become the commander of the Delta Force.
I need to speak with you off the record.
Mt. Nekogami disappeared?
Princess Mashiro and Meister Mai as well?
See what I said?
Oh, you know about Meister Mai?
Of course I do. That girl running the ramen stand, right?
She said she wanted to run a ramen chain shop, so I told her, "open the Head Office in Aries."
And after that, Meister Arika disappeared leaving a note saying that she was going to search for Queen Mashiro.
And where is she now?
No rush. We know which highway bus she got on, as well.
...bus?
Yes, a bus.
You can't mean...
I mean exactly that.
Is this really going to get resolved?
Be strong. I'll help out.
We know who the criminals are.
He used to be a praetorian guard.
What's the situation at the site now?
After the Brigadier General caused a stir, it has since become frozen again.
Intelligence is still gathering information regarding the situation with Wind City.
The Strategic Otome Limitation Talks are coming up, too.
We cannot fail in this mission.
Onee-sama, would you like a muffin?
And why are you so calm about this?
But really, we have nothing we can do.
And it's our job to solve that!
Such as bulldozing our way through!
Please calm down.
The situation will move even if we leave it alone.
Besides, how are you going to bulldoze through without a Robe?
Sara Gallagher, whether or not you have a Robe means nothing to functioning as an Otome.
Right, right. It's about "guts," isn't it?
Dear terrorists who are occupying the bus,
I present the candidate for next president, Ishigermin.
Ishigermin!
Everyone's hope, the better future.
Watteral Ishigermin has come to hear your demands.
Ishigermin!
Who let that guy through?
You terrorists-
What are you doing?!
Wattarl Ishigermin, I wanted to meet you.
You're the one that's bashing Yukino and I on TV, aren't you?
You wouldn't understand why I do that, would you, Haruka Armitage?
Dear citizens, I am worried.
I'm worried that such a barbarous being is in the center of the government.
What do you say?
I think it's fine!
You're more annoying!
Chrysant and Armitage are the mind and soul of this country!
Butt out, ass hat!
Let's stop your stupid lecture and settle our score here.
Come on down.
I refuse! Who'd ever get down for you?
Do you understand why I can tolerate all of the profane comments?
Well?! Do you, Haruka Armitage?
W-What?
It's because I have a girlfriend now.
Huh?
Yes, because of love, I am capable of overcoming hardships,
and I learned how to unite the world with love!
I want all the citizens to understand this concept of love!
What is he?
Apparently he used to be a portrait drawer.
Okay, attention up here.
Now allow me to introduce to you for the first time...
my personal secretary, and soon-to-be First Lady of this country.
My sweet honey,
tada!
Oh, this way.
You're...
You're in the way, really.
I hate inconsiderate men.
Tomoe Marguerite?
Who was that again?
I know her!
That's the insane woman from the Valkyrie troop!
It's the woman that sold out her side for fun!
It's the traitor!
Shut up, pigs!
First Lady? Me?
Oh no.
Now that I've sent Ishigermin to hell, I am the new presidential candidate.
What?!
Tomoe-kun... Stop it already, it's painful watching you.
Now, give me your vote and accept the dictatorship.
Hey, guys! Stop having your own fun over there.
If you don't quit this soon, a vent's gonna be made in her head!
Huh? Eh?
Hey, I'm in Aries!
Hey! Brigadier General! Chie-senpai!
Hey, Ari-
No one saw that. No one heard that.
Meister Arika Yumemiya!
I'm so lucky!
It was worth it to quit helping with household chores and come all the way here.
Hey, bus hijackers. Take a good look at her face.
She's...
Me?
Are you- ?!
I've seen her. She's... you know!
"Arika the Meteor Breaker!"
No, it's not that big of a deal.
She doesn't understand the situation here.
Arika! Beat the crap out of them!
Why?
I can't.
With Mashiro-chan gone, I can't use the Otome powers right now.
Really?
Yup.
What are you two doing?!
Meister Arika!
We welcome you as our hostage.
W-What's this "hostage" about?
Really, kids these days!
Everyone's like that when they just wake up.
This is the worst.
Serves you right, Arika Yumemiya.
I'll watch the rest on TV from my home.
Eh?! Is that Tomoe-chan?
Don't move!
You people.
Yukino!
President of the Republic of Aries, Yukino Chrysant.
I will take up negotiations.
Then get on the bus. We'll listen to you after that.
In return, I'll have you release the hostages.
Is that clear?
Yukino!
I'm counting on you, Brigadier General.
Oh fine.
Release her as well.
Not her.
I heard that she's the greatest nemesis that got in the Grand Duke's way.
Aries will not give in to terrorism.
And you'll be making Windbloom your enemy as well, at this rate.
Shut up!
Stop it!
Granny said that men that hit women are the worst.
Sit down!
Are you all right, Yukino-san?
I'm fine, thank you. You're in a troubling situation too, Arika-san.
I'm sorry. But I wanted to find Mashiro-chan myself, no matter what.
I understand. If Haruka-chan disappeared, I would want to do that as well.
Only if I wasn't the president.
Do you ever get into fights with the Brigadier General?
I do, a lot.
But we have a rule between us.
A rule?
Right. We said to each other that we'll yell at each other when either one of us makes a mistake.
And after we talk and find a path that we both agree is right, then we move forward without hesitation.
This is first of the Five Columns, Galactic Aquamarine, Sara Gallagher.
I request certification from the Surrogate System.
Materialize!
So I'm sure Haruka-chan will do the right thing.
That's who my Otome, Brigadier General Haruka Armitage, is.
Here I come, Yukino.
Go!
Enemy incoming!
Major, what do we do?
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Damn it.
Mikoto!
Taking hostages and demanding Nagi to be released.
You guys didn't have a chance of winning from the moment you tried to rely on the power of another!
If you want to fight, do so with your own power.
Could that be a Child?
Yukino!
Target on hostile biological force!
Delta Force, fire!
Haruka-chan!
Brigadier General! Yukino-san!
Haruka Armitage, my Otome of the Jewel Isles.
In my name, unleash your powers.
Madam President!
Madam President! Brigadier General!
Look at what you've done to this place.
By the order of the President, I'll turn you into minced meat!
How's that?
Arika-san.
Please evacuate, President Chrysant.
Thank you very much, Meister Sara.
Did you see that, Onee-sama?
See what?
That... She is...
She can't be!
Our Founder?
Pure White Diamond...
Grand Meister, Fumi Himeno.
Delta Formation!
Why would the Founder attack us?
I'll strip her down to her true identity.
How long are you going to cling to me?
Huh?
Fine, please don't overdo it.
Good luck.
Yukino!
Haruka-chan!
How dare you shoot someone in their back!
Next time I see you-
Brigadier General...
Brigadier General. Brigadier General!
Aries Territory
Desperate Jail
Too bad your escape plan went down the drain.
Oh, them?
I don't care. Associating with guys that do bus hijacks would only make me get captured again.
And they did fail to prove my point.
What a disdainful man.
Call me smart.
This place comes with three meals a day and nap time, so I like it.
Unlike the Black Valley, I don't have to work.
Hey?
What's this, what's this?
Did something happen to the valley?
Yes! The Valley disappeared, and Mashiro-chan and Mai-san disappeared with it!
Tell me, Nagi-san. Where did they all go?
Oh, so he came.
Or no, maybe it's a her.
Came to Garderobe, right?
The Otome that loses gets her nano-machines solidified,
and even though there are life signs, the entire body becomes hard like a metal.
Am I right?
What do you know?
I only know a part of the story.
From a literature book I found in some ruins back in Artai.
Principality of Artai
Kokuyouguu
(alias) Stripe Kitchen
Are you sure you want to wear your Meister uniform in the Stripe Gang's hideout?
What now?
If the officials at the castle need something, they can come here.
They call it "peacemaker," but what we do is nothing more than what ambassadors do.
So, what about that thing, Yamada-chi?
Don't call me like that.
Come on.
Are you seriously going to go?
I've been bored out of my mind ever since I came back.
It's as cold as ever, and the food is all greasy.
I entered Garderobe because I didn't like being here.
Am I being demoted?
So you're doing this to get rid of stress.
Well, I wouldn't recommend doing too much.
I hear that you Five Columns are-
Don't worry about me, Yamada-chi.
Meister Juliet Nao Zhang.
I have brought your guest.
Welcome.
Ni-na.
Long time no see, Nao-senpai.

So, what do you need from me?
They're telling you to do the preview.
That's all you called me for?!
Hold on.
Sara Onee-sama...
You two do not understand what preview are for.
I'll show you an example.
Do it if you can.
Here goes. Next-
