There is no doubt that Nakasugi Sayaka is the host of the Ryunka.
We were able to find traces of the Ryunka from analyzing the sample.
Inspector Megius, is there really no way to save the host?
Birdy, I know how you feel about this but we don’t have the luxury of time.
Council will deal with the Ryunka as soon as they arrive.
I have no doubt that they will take measures that may endanger Earth itself.
If you really care about the Earth…
Tsutomu?
Huh? We’re in a spaceship? Is everything alright?
Well Tsutomu…
Perfect timing. There is something I need to discuss with you Tsutomu.
Um…Yes?
Inspector!
Tsutomukun. We have completed the repairs on your body.
Really? That’s great!
Hm? Aren’t you glad Birdy?
Uh… Of course I’m glad. Good for you Tsutomu.
Good for you…
Awesome! Isn’t freedom sweet Birdy?
What’s wrong Birdy?
Well Tsutomu…
Why are you so down when we finally got our own bodies back?
Tsutomu…The truth is that…the Ryunka…
What?
Nakasugi-san is the Ryunka!
Wha…
Tsutomu.
That’s a lie!
I can’t possibly tell him…
Hm? What’s up Birdy? My benevolent heart can take anything in right now.
The school semester’s just beginning and you already have a smirk on your face.
Man, it’s Hayamiya.
So, how did that date go?
Don’t tell me you got crazed and attacked her!
Don’t be ridiculous.
It’s suspicious…
I’m gonna ask Nakasugi when she gets here.
Don’t do that!
Why are you panicking? It’s sooo suspicious.
Hey!
Is this...!?
Hayamiya!
Isn’t this Nakasugi-san’s grandfather?
Hey! The opening ceremony is going to start soon!
I’m going home early!
The traffic in front of the Nakasugi residence is currently being regulated causing a clamorous atmosphere.
Attention will be turned to the police’s next step, considering that the culprit is still on the loose.
Excuse me. Please let me through.
Hey, hey! You can’t enter this area!
Umm… Is Nakasugi Sayaka…
You over there! I said no entry!
Hello?
The number you dialed cannot be reached because it is in a non-reachable area or has the power turned off.
I just can’t believe it...
Her grandfather seemed like such a nice person…
Hey, take a look.
“The housemaid that has been missing since the incident is being considered as one of the key witnesses…”
Housemaid… Do they mean Suzuki Yoshie-san?
That person?
I wonder if Nakasugi-san is alright…
Something’s not right.
What?
Why do strange incidents keep happening around Nakasugi-san?
Maybe she’s been caught in the middle of something.
Tsutomu…
Actually, to tell you the truth…
Hey, that’s…!
Nakasugi-san.
Tsutomu.
Birdy, please…can we start coming here for a while, starting today?
I want to protect Nakasugi-san.
If she gets into a dangerous situation…
Birdy, I need you to lend me your strength.
Please Birdy, I’m begging you…
Will you stop that?!
Please Birdy!
Tsutomu…
How was it? Were you able to get in touch with Nakasugi-san?
It’s no good. Her home number isn’t picking up either.
She must be going through a lot…
That’s true.
The media is everywhere too.
Don’t you think Senkawa-kun is a bit odd today?
He’s been like that the whole time.
He’s just messed up from the summer break. We can just leave him be.
Hey Tsutomu…It’s already the 3rd day, you should be at your limit.
I’m alright…Just a bit more…
But I wonder about the Ryunka problem.
Oh, we’re still having difficulties in our investigations.
I see. Tell me if you find anything out, I’ll be sure to cooperate.
Okay.
I’m useless anyway but it’s dangerous to leave the Ryunka alone.
Tsutomu…
What is it? You’re acting depressed too Birdy.
Oh yeah. What are you going to do once you capture the Ryunka?
We’re going to dispose of it.
Dispose?
Oh, you mean you’re going to kill it?
But if you did that, what would happen to the host?
Wouldn’t they die too?
I don’t want that to happen either!
I’m not judging you or anything…I know, it can’t be helped right?
What an unpleasant job…
Without making any headway with the investigations of Nakasugi Katsutoshi-san’s murder…
Nakasugi Industrial Technologies is holding a funeral…
Hm?
Shyamalan.
It couldn’t be…
Senkawa-kun.
Tsutomu?
Tsutomu.
Aren’t you satisfied by now?
Let’s call it quits.
No…just a little bit more.
I just want to watch over her until we can get into contact again.
Hey Tsutomu…I have something I need to tell you.
Huh? What is it?
Don’t be surprised.
What is it?
To tell you the truth…we already know about the Ryunka.
Nakasugi-san is the host of the Ryunka.
So I have to…I’m sorry…
Tsutomu?
Whaaaaat!?
Hey!
How can you fall asleep at a moment like this!?
I guess it can’t be helped…
Huh? Crap! I have to get back to Nakasugi-san’s place ASAP!
…and then I’ll capture it.
Don’t you mean take custody?
Maybe we should just make a barricade in her house.
She’s the Ryunka.
Wha..?
Nakasugi-san is the host of the Ryunka.
The Ryunka has grown within her and she has started to become the Ryunka itself.
That’s why we will capture her.
Don’t tell me a ridiculous joke like that.
It’s not a joke!
Why the hell would I believe such a thing!?
You got any proof!?
We found traces of the Ryunka within her sweat.
When did you have a chance to get a sample of her sweat?
You…used me?
I’m sorry…but the Ryunka is a threat to Earth itself.
If we leave it, the human civilization may be annihilated.
You’re going to kill her…
You’re going to kill Nakasugi-san aren’t you!?
If we don’t dispose of the Ryunka, countless people could die.
You think I don’t know that already!?
But Nakasugi-san is…Nakasugi-san hasn’t done anything wrong.
Why? Why does she have to be killed?
Don’t cry…Please understand Tsutomu…It’s for the sake of countless lives.
I don’t want to!
It can’t be true! She can’t be the Ryunka!
It’s a lie!
Watch out!
Owe.
How did my body…
W—wait Tsutomu!
I’ll never let you get to Nakasugi!
Tsutomu!
Although it was a short time, Senkawa Tsutomu was able to suppress Birdy’s will and control her body.
The symptoms of long-term mind-fusion had begun to take effect, Birdy.
You were in a dire situation.
Inspector Megius.
You’ve finally awakened.
Nejula.
She will give complete cooperation to the Deity Chairman henceforth.
Is that fine?
Birdy, do as she says.
Hold on a second!
I have an obligation to protect Senkawa Tsutomu’s life!
That is no longer necessary, Birdy.
What?
Tsutomu?
Tsutomu, are you alright?
Birdy?
Birdy!
Huh? Huh? Huh!?
Tsutomu…
I believe we already informed you about transporting his body.
That doesn’t mean that you can just…!
We don’t have time to talk about nonsense.
We will immediately secure the Ryunka and dispose of it.
Nakasugi-san…
Tsutomu?
Ouch…
You should go back now.
What?
That hurt.
Nakasugi-san.
My clothes! I need clothes!
Owe!
Crap…my glasses! Glasses!
What is it, at a time like this?
Yes, hold on a moment please.
Huh?
I didn’t think she would leave this place.
Any clues to her whereabouts?
Isn’t it better to wait here than to search for her blindly?
It seems that you don’t want to secure the Ryunka.
You really don’t know how to remove the Ryunka without harming the host, chairman?
Unfortunately we don’t have data on such matters.
How useless…
The same to you.
Is it a federal investigator?
Sure is.
Although it seemed like there was someone else as well.
It might be wise to attain the Ryunka soon.
There’s nothing to worry about.
She’ll come here on her own.
My methods are flawless.
I’m sorry for coming so suddenly.
I couldn’t contact you with my cellphone sense I left it with one of my aunts.
Am I being a nuisance?
Of course not Nakasugi-san.
I was so lonely and uneasy.
I can’t believe my grandfather passed away…even Yoshie-san.
I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Nakasugi-san.
I…
Umm…Uh… Where was it?
There it is.
Nakasugi-san.
Thank you.
Please start by calming down.
You can stay here if you’d like.
I’m sorry. I just felt at ease once I saw your face.
All sorts of people have been going in and out of my house lately.
Is that so?
Do they seem unpleasant?
No.
They’re all kind.
Even though I’ve just met them they’re so kind to me.
So kind they’re disgusting.
Huh?
Hello?
Tsutomu? Nakasugi-san’s with you right?
No, she’s not here.
I don’t want to force her to go.
Please entrust her to me.
Tsutomu?
I though you were going to “dispose” of the Ryunka.
Nakasugi-san has already been assimilated by the Ryunka.
If the Ryunka full activates, this earth will suffer the tragic fate of Bilgiva.
You know that every human being will die!
She isn’t the Ryunka.
Tsutomu.
It seems that you failed with the negotiation.
Nejula.
I’ll let you know one thing…the chairman’s disposal of the Ryunka has been postponed for a while.
What?
A dispute regarding the handling of the Ryunka has begun within the federation’s government.
There seems to be those who want to use this Earth as a Ryunka experiment.
An experimental area for lost technology.
They don’t give a damn about casualties from a planet with an underdeveloped civilization.
We have to run away Nakasugi-san!
What?
Umm…well…
You don’t like the people that are starting to gather around you right?
Right.
You shouldn’t go to such people.
Go to somewhere faraway with me.
As far as we can from this place.
Senkawa-kun.
Nakasugi-san.
Come on, quickly.
We seem like escapees or something.
What?
Where do you want to run to?
Umm…
You want to go north?
Or do you want to go south?
Uh…What should we do?
How about to the end of the world.
I don’t have a passport in any case.
So you were serious Senkawa-kun.
I’m glad.
Uh…
Let’s run around the world, robbing banks.
Then we won’t have any money problems.
But that’s...
Then let’s start practicing for our escapes.
Hey, wait a sec…
Come on, run away.
Nakasugi-san.
We’re like Bonnie & Clyde aren’t we?
What's that?
It’s an old movie.
It’s about two lovers who travel while robbing banks.
Oh. What happens to the two in the end?
They both get shot by the police and die.
You wouldn’t mind dieing with me would you Senkawa-kun?
Sheesh, that’s no good.
What is?
I can’t rely on you if it’s not an immediate response.
But that’s okay. I’ll become a human shield and protect you, Senkawa-kun.
But that’s…
I am a guy you know.
I’ll die protecting you instead.
I’m glad.
Is that so?
The thing is, Senkawa-kun…
What?
I think I’m going to Satajitto Shyamalan’s place.
Shyamalan?
Why?
All my relatives want is a piece of my grandfather’s fortune.
Even his company wants the same thing.
But Shyamalan-san said he respected my father.
So he’s worried for both me and my father’s company.
It’s so childish to try to run somewhere with just the two of us.
I’ll protect you Nakasugi-san.
Thank you…but I already decided.
I’m going to Shyamalan-san’s place.
I know it was sudden but my councilor told me that I should take care of such matters in haste.
The cruise will be a good refresher, plus going overseas for while can be a great experience.
Senkawa-kun.
Yes?
You can relax; I will take complete responsibility for Sayaka-san’s happiness.
Well, shall we go, Sayaka?
Okay…
Senkawa-kun.
I’ll get in touch with you. We’ll surely meet again right?
Nakasugi-san.
No need to worry. I’ll let her develop as she should.
So, you aren’t with Birdy?
Then I will let you know as well.
You are…
There is an earthling that knows the location of the Ryunka and is trying to activate it.
I’m sure you recognize this voice.
She is about to make a transformation… She will go from the chosen to the chooser.
What?
No harm will come to her.
I’ll let her develop as she should.
That can’t be…
No harm will come to her.
I’ll let her develop as she should.
I’ll let her…
This is Arita Shion.
Uhaaa!
Things are turning out badly.
I wonder if Tsutomu-kun and Birdy-san will ever be friends again.
It makes me so sad to see the two like that.
To top it all off, Shyamalan-san is going to do this…and that… to Nakasugi-san.
Kyaaa!
Run Nakasugi-san!
