How about repairing her,
Lady Karyuusai?
And a good day to you too, Professor Kimberly.
That lad's a real handful.
I wonder what he snuck out of school for.
Well, I suppose his automaton reaped what he sowed.
You seem to know who did this.
Let's save the parent-teacher meeting for later.
We can't lose her yet, now can we?
Gee, thanks.
But that kid's not so weak.
The automaton isn't, sure.
What about Second Last, though?
My boy won't die so easily, either.
Good day.
Give Father Time my best regards.
What an enigmatic woman.
Well,
I'm one to talk.
What do you want, boy?
A talking doggy!
My mind and muscle are on par with humans, you see.
For good or for bad.
You can see us like this?
I can indeed.
Though I'm sure a passive sensor wouldn't be able to.
Active?!
Looks like you understand, young lady.
Do you mean to waltz into someone's home without offering so much as a greeting?
My bad.
I'm Akabane Raishin from Japan.
Hey, Raishin!
So the intruder reveals his own identity?
Are the dog automatons outside your offspring?
Some of them are, yes.
I'm the prototype of the Garm series, which my son Ravi also belongs to.
The Sonic circuit!
Oh? You seem rather well-informed.
We are indeed equipped with Sonic.
By emitting sound waves and detecting the wavelength shift of the echoes,
we perceive the world through sound.
You're a Ban Doll, aren't you?
What makes you think so?
There's no sign of any puppeteer nearby,
and yet you're using magic.
Oh?
You're not as stupid as you look.
Why are you being held captive?
I was ordered to be dismantled.
For good or for bad.
Dismantled? Why?
I've outlived my usefulness, you see.
And it's far too expensive to keep me aliv—
You've gotta be kidding me!
Sorry.
I just hate it when people try to place a price on life.
Hey, do you want to come with us?
What?
It wouldn't be very exciting to spend the rest of your life cooped up in here, would it?
You're an amusing kid.
Why'd you sneak in here?
A girl named Frey wants my head.
What's the meaning of this?
Why would she have to do that?
That's what I'd like to find out.
So it'd help if I had someone to show me around.
Then follow me.
You'd best be prepared, though.
You're going to see Hell with your own two eyes.
Oh, right.
I forgot to ask you for your name.
Yomi.
Yaya...
Yaya!
Pull yourself together!
Sig... mund?
Are you okay?
The damage is still within operational limits.
I'm impressed you took one of those to the stomach and lived to tell the tale.
I'm the best automaton in the world.
This is nothing.
Don't push yourself.
Hold on. I'll fetch an engineer.
No, don't.
I can't be repaired the normal way.
Wh-What do you want me to do, then?
Raishin...
I want to see Raishin.
His mana's our last hope, huh?
The hell?
What happened here?
Char! Good timing.
Lend us a hand.
Th-This calls for a doctor!
What the hell do they do in Japan?!
She has more flesh parts than Sigmund!
I guess only her designer can repair her now.
The only thing I can do is offer her my mana.
What?
What's going on?!
Are you all right?
Please don't... push yourself.
Don't look down on me!
This is nothing!
But I'm your enemy—
The Queen granted me the crest of a noble unicorn!
I'm Charlotte of the Count Belew family, and don't you forget it!
Fighting you fair and square can wait for the Evening Party.
But I don't want a vixen's help—
You and your big mouth!
I see you haven't changed, Doctor.
That was just part of my treatment.
I had to use my stethoscope, you see.
I don't intend to pry.
What do you want, then? I don't appreciate you barging in on my fun.
Is it a stomach ache?
Menstrual pains?
If you're showing menopausal sympt—
I wanted your opinion...
on Raishin Akabane.
Thought as much.
Something on your mind?
His recovery rate is extremely slow,
as is his haematopoiesis and cell division.
His body's not very efficient at absorbing nutrition, either.
It's likely his life force is being drained away.
Is it being diverted towards repairing his automaton?
Yeah,
provided he's in possession of a Ban Doll.
I want you to mark him.
Of course, this means you'll be signing an exclusive contract with us.
From this moment on,
this academy and the British government will be your enemies.
All this money,
or a sniper's bullet.
Which would you prefer?
This is Frey's room.
Is Frey her real name?
It's her identification code.
Her parents?
I hear they were part of an American troupe who performed mechanical puppet shows,
but apparently they were killed when an automaton went berserk.
I don't know why she's trying to kill you,
but she's actually a sweet, kind girl.
We were all attached to her.
That's the reason she was chosen.
To be Ravi's master, you mean?
Her kind nature has consigned her to walk a thorny path.
Thorny path or bed of roses aside,
I don't think it's a bad thing to have family that loves you, like you do her.
They're all siblings?
No, of course not.
Promised Children.
Humans that have a particularly high affinity for mana.
They say only one child in a million is born with this trait.
And they just happen to all be orphans?
What if I said they weren't real orphans?
Let me show you something far more repulsive.
What the hell is this?!
They're coming this way!
How many of your kind can spot us?
As long as a puppeteer pulls their strings,
every one of the Garms can.
In that case, we'll have to make a break for it.
Hasty thinking could cost you your life, you know.
Do you have any ideas?
Open this.
Is it an escape hatch?
No, just a garbage disposal chute.
There they are!
The intruders are escaping through the sewer!
Raishin!
It's just a flesh wound.
Where does this lead to?
The town's sewer.
We'll be able to get out soon enough.
That is, if our foes are complete idiots.
So they could cut us off?
I'm dripping wet!
I'm beginning to understand why Frey tried to eliminate you.
If she were to lose in the Evening Party,
the Garm mass-production project would be suspended.
And if that happened, you guys would be...
...dismantled.
And a different model would be nominated in our place.
Cherubim?
Yes, the Angel series that includes Cherubim.
Its short-term combat ability far exceeds that of the Garm.
However, it comes at a high price,
and it is difficult to control as well.
On the other hand, even a complete novice at puppetry would be able to control the Garms.
We are but dogs, for good or for bad.
Raishin!
Thank you.
I'm fine now.
What kind of cannon could shoot a shell like that?
Where did it come from?
It doesn't have any ballistic markings,
so it must've been fired without a barrel.
Wait, that means it could be fired from anywhere!
This is bad.
If the enemy's trying to make Raishin withdraw...
...he'll be targeted as well.
Raishin!
Yomi! Hang in there!
Why'd you protect me?
If I died, Frey would've won by default!
Raishin!
We can exit from here.
Raishin!
Reinforcements?
You're so indecisive.
Just leave me behind and go.
Like hell I can!
Please go.
I wish to rest here...
Together with my children...
I managed to have some fun at the very end.
You have my thanks.
Yomi!
God dammit!
What are you doing here?
Waiting for Raishin.
He won't be coming back.
What did you do to him?
Were you the one who attacked his automaton earlier?
And what if I said I was?
Second Last was sniffing around for our secret,
so Father got rid of him.
Don't go killing me off just yet.
What an unsociable guy.
I think it smells one of its own.
I need to apologise to you.
Yomi's dead.
I got her caught in my mess.
Forgive me.
Thank you.
You let her out of her cage, didn't you?
But—
She'd been kept captive for years.
So I'm sure she must've had a little fun.
Come on, get mad at me!
Raishin, welcome home!
Did you get hurt?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
But what about you? You look terrible!
I screwed up a little.
Where's Komurasaki?
I left her in a military safe house.
That's not what I meant!
She was with you, and yet—
Don't tell me you let your guard down because you two were getting it on!
Don't be stupid.
She may not look it, but Komurasaki's dangerous!
I need to make sure.
Take off your clothes!
Raishin, you meanie!
Welcome back, my boy.
Did you find what you were looking for?
Yeah.
Then you know why I sent you there, correct?
You used me as a decoy to further your investigation on Divine Works.
My, how sharp.
Did the army figure anything out?
I got into big trouble.
And it cost someone their life.
It's not like I'm complaining.
I don't have the right to.
You're blaming yourself?
How conceited of you, my boy.
But—
Even if you were a capable man,
and even if you had Yaya by your side,
you'd be thinking quite highly of yourself to believe you could save things that were meant to die.
Frey's automaton is a Ban Doll.
It is extremely difficult to fit human parts into a machine and keep it alive for an extended time.
But if you don't mind a more disposable approach, there's an interesting alternative on the table.
Using living beings as the vessel?
Indeed.
Have an actual body provide the parts with sustenance.
The vessel wouldn't live for very long,
but it would keep the parts alive.
Sonic is an excellent circuit,
but the mana cost is far too heavy for normal use.
If you can reduce the amount of mana it takes to operate,
that lessens the burden on the puppeteer.
So that's why you use live parts.
If the British army approved such a method,
Japan would have to take action.
Why's that?
Aren't we allies?
For now, yes.
Wait, does the army plan on waging war with the global superpowers?
You're a government mule.
All you need to do is follow your master's orders.
Here's your next mission:
steal Ravi's magic circuit.
But do it without anyone noticing—
by taking advantage of the Evening Party.
Hang on!
Those magic circuits are linked to the heart!
If I pull it out by force, Ravi won't survive!
You're so foolish.
Do you really think you need to tell me that?
Are you telling me to kill Ravi?
Don't make me repeat myself.
It's time.
I have high hopes for all of you.
Hear me, fellow magicians gathered under the name of Walpurgis.
Tonight we shall fight amongst our own kind to keep the flames of magic alive.
We shall rule, or we shall die.
Thus, we swear to uphold the ideals of battle.
I hereby declare the commencement of the 49th Walpurgis Night!
Number 100, Second Last...
Come forth!
Number 99, Sacred Blaze...
Come forth!
I believe I told you to withdraw.
And I believe I told you I'd rather not.
Let me pay you back.
Yaya!
24 Whistling Thrusts!
48 Pinnacle Thrusts!
24 Fiery Thrusts!
Such irksome armour.
Blades can't cut me!
Oh, they can.
There is nothing Cherubim can't cut.
Cherubim, switch!
Dodge it!
You've got good instincts.
What's wrong, Raishin?!
Give me your mana!
Don't worry.
I can handle these attacks no problem!
Dodge it.
24 Thrusts!
Raishin, we can't keep this up any longer.
96 Pinnacle Thrusts!
Raishin!
