It has been a long time, Princess.
Thank you for the reception.
The fourth ruins were,
indeed, at the coordinates you predicted.
Yes.
How is Il doing, by the way?
Rescue
This feeling... of approaching climax!
I'm gonna nail you with everything I have pent up!
I'll go take out the enemies in back.
I barely feel a thing! Are those toy guns or what?
Let me show you what a real heavy hit feels like!
I will kill all.
And here's my take on a turkey slap!
It might just crush your jaw!
I hate vulgar men.
Only the first shot had any effect?
This is exactly why...
you're my favorite little bitch!
P7, the target is moving to the south! Be alert!
P5, get away from the storage units!
P1 and P2, get out into the central road so you can see—
She's too fast! I can't keep up!
Th-That's...
Seigi! Over there!
It's her!
I won't let you kill anyone else!
The slicing hand cloaked in nothingness?
Don't think I'm at a disadvantage because I'm bare-handed!
Come to think of it, you have a partner, don't you?
You're okay leaving him alone?
I am only acting alongside him for the sake of the mission.
Here!
You must be one lonely girl!
Lonely?
That self-righteous attitude, those pitying, condescending eyes...
Those are the things I hate most.
I have stolen, injured, and killed for the sake of staying alive.
I don't need partners now.
The only person I revere and wish to protect is the princess.
If you think you can withstand my loyalty, go ahead and try!
Touko-san, can you hear me?
Touko-san!
Tom-san?
Please give the receiver to Seigi-kun.
There's something I need to tell him.
G-Got it.
O-Ow...
Seigi! It's Tom-san!
Tom-san?
I'm going to tell you how to beat Schrödinger's Cat.
For real?!
For real!
What the hell is that ability?!
The source of Schrödinger's Cat's power is the uncertainty principle.
If there's no observer, she can't return her indistinct self to normal... I think!
You think?!
I get it.
I just have to close my eyes.
S-Safe...
He really didn't know for sure?!
Do you think that will improve your chances of winning?
That won't work!
Seigi, run!
You aren't the only observer around here.
A cat?
Izzy...
Damn, the anesthetic...
Ow!
Hey, I'm fine.
It hurts... My body is burning... I'm gonna die...
Seigi...
Seigi!
You...
I swear...
I won't let you get away with this!
I'm being pushed back?
Is the tattoo's boost power passing into her?
The power of will...
Her strong desire to protect Seigi-kun is letting her
draw power from the tattoo's owner!
Don't get cocky!
Why do you not simply erase everything with Void Maker?
Who are you?
Are you telling me to kill her?
You said you would negate that girl.
That would be proper.
Your power, after all, exists for the purpose of negating others,
the world, and all of creation.
Quit running your mouth!
Fine, have it your way! I'll negate you!
I will protect Touko!
You die first.
You used Void Maker to create empty space underground?
I don't want to hit a girl!
You'll die this time!
Y-You're holding me like a princess—
This is the difference between someone who's fighting to protect
and someone who's fighting to kill.
Kill me.
Seigi, you're not gonna—
You? Why are you here?
What the hell?
So you do have a partner.
There's no way I'd kill you.
What I want to negate isn't you,
it's your words.
You're a fool.
You don't know anything about me.
Maybe I don't...
Of course you don't.
The likes of you can't understand what's in Il's heart.
Princess!
Where'd she come from?
Wait, "Princess"... The Kingdom's ruler?
Crap... Lost too much blood...
Now, now, you mustn't overdo it.
If you do, you'll be eaten up.
Of course, you're just a child, so that didn't count.
I'll purify you, Princess!
Wait, what? Wh-What?!
I-I-Indirect kiss!
All right! I'll bleep you later, so behave!
B-Bleep?!
So, you are Akatsuka Justice, correct?
Don't use my real name...
I can't believe you made Il cry. You have my compliments.
However...
If you weren't able to use the Void Maker with precision,
both Il and that girl would have been dead.
No matter what happens, I won't let anyone die!
You are naïve... But you have surprising potential.
Perhaps I can count on you.
What are you talking about?
Il, time to go.
Meow, meow...
Wait!
They disappeared...
The only thing a tattoo that manipulates
the laws of physics can't mess with
is another Sealed's body!
Close combat is the most
surefire double-edged blade!
Give it up already...
Or do you think you can keep up that
cushion of compressed air that's protecting you?
What the hell was that?
It was my compressed air. That was a high-explosive air shell.
You seem to be capable of freely manipulating the weight of objects,
but I guess you can't defend against shock waves.
I was giving you a handicap
so Lisa wouldn't get hurt, small fry!
Checkmate!
Return checkmate.
It can't be...
You fell for the same trick again!
Could you be any more careless?!
Now, lose all hope!
Let me hear that cute cry of yours!
We'll start by widening that cute little—
Lisa!
That's my lethal attack, Return-Return Checkmate!
When did you...
Whoa, wai—
Get yourself off!
Mission complete.
What a nice breeze...
You've always had a problem with following through...
Ow, ow, ow.
I'm glad you're okay.
Couldn't you finish a mission
this simple without Cal?
Aryabhata... The princess...
Of the Kingdom? How did she get here?
Through the Link.
Link?
It looks like we've lost this time. Let's withdraw.
Don't joke around! Leave him here!
Do you know how many people he's killed?!
Well, if you insist,
then kill me and take him back...
But only if all of you are prepared to die where you stand.
What is that?
That's... No! Could it be...
Impossible!
The Sealed of the triggerless tattoo?
Seigi, what is that?
So the thing Izzy was hiding...
I'll keep one piece of the key in America.
Be sure you learn to use it so that you don't die.
Boy, learn more about tattoos,
and gain an understanding of them.
The Source wants you.
Source?
What are you talking about? Seriously, what?!
Colonel Sanders...
I'm not a colonel.
I just became a brigadier general.
Actually, no, Colonel is fine.
I like that name better, anyway.
Then, Colonel, please tell me what my punishment is.
Bear the responsibility until the end.
Huh?
You will look after that boy.
And of course, you'll make him participate in our tattoo research.
There's no point if he doesn't.
Is...
that all?
That's all.
It's so nice out.
No wonder the big vegetable sale is today.
Learn more about tattoos, and gain an understanding of them.
I still don't know anything about tattoos.
I can't keep going like this.
You're...
Oh? Well, well, who have we here?
We've just encountered a rare monster, Il.
The Kingdom's...
Perfect timing! You need to tell m—
Seigi, go buy the things on this list.
Huh? But I need to talk to her...
Go buy them.
O-Okay.
What do you want with me?
I want a showdown, Princess Aryawhatever!
What?
I'm saying this as Seigi's guardian.
Bam
If I win,
don't ever mess with Seigi again!
Very well. I accept.
But if I win,
those voluptuous breasts are mine.
Bwoing
Huh?!
I'll kill you!
Stop.
F-Fine. You can do what you want.
In two or three years, mine will...
No need to put yourself down, Il.
Big breasts are filled with dreams,
but small ones are filled with hope.
Now...
Let's go!
Damn.
Since I activated my tattoo earlier, she's also...
You're open!
What's with this crowd?
No! If this keeps up, I'll lose!
It's over! Finishing move:
Dragon Fall!
Touko...
Touko?
Touko!
What, you were just playing table tennis?!
Also, what the hell is going on?
They're so soft, yet resilient.
They have such a hyperbolic feel.
So, boy, what is it you want to know?
Everything. About tattoos, the Kingdom... Everything.
Tell me everything!
Then first, I'll ask you...
For what purpose are you fighting?
What... purpose?
To stop the war you guys are starting...
Yeah. I want to stop people from killing each other.
Isn't that the right thing to do?
For whom?
Huh?
All I can tell you now is...
If my wish is realized,
the world without fighting that you wish for will come to be.
A world without... fighting?
If you join my side, I'll tell you everything.
I'll welcome you anytime.
So that brat is the third, huh?
He just needs me to guide him.
It's been a long time, BB.
Does your presence in Japan mean
the plan is moving to its next stage?
How dare you speak so brazenly to—
It's fine.
Don't worry. Everything is just beginning.
So, you guys have told me what your goal is, but...
What is the US Army after, then?
What are they gathering tattoos for?
The US Army's goal is probably to use
the tattoos to take over the world.
Take over the world?
I'm only speaking theoretically as of now,
but tattoos could potentially be
safer than nuclear weapons.
There will be one major power in this world...
Only one major power in our future.
Then what is the Kingdom after?
I don't know that,
but beneath the surface, there have been
repeated clashes with them over the tattoos.
Will you still join our side?
No. I can't become a partner to the US Army.
But...
If you're asking me to be your partner in stopping the war, then...
Seigi...
Thank you.
By the way, something's been bothering me a lot...
Why are you in my house, again?
You destroyed my house, remember?
We'll be living in your house from now on, so, you know...
Thanks.
My mom comes home sometimes! What am I supposed to tell her?!
Your mother flies around the world for work and is rarely home.
Your cute childhood friend lives next door,
and she made you dinner just last night.
What eroge is this? What's with the clichéd setting?
This isn't a light novel!
Die, normie! Necrotize! Drown!
Thanks to you, his collection of otaku... figures?
Damn it, I couldn't be more jealous, you bastard!
They're all gone.
My favorite stuffed animals, too.
Er... u-uh...
I'm sorry.
Ah, yes...
What a lovely morning after.
Hey there, brat.
Want some gum?
No, thanks.
I see...
Why don't you come with me for a bit?
Are you from the Kingdom?!
Brahman.
I knew it!
BB... Blood... is in Japan?
Hey, brat,
what is the correct choice to make as a hero of justice?
Killing goes against my idea of justice, you see,
Reunion
so I'll tell you.
