Found you.
I found the intruder.
Huh? There are two, but I guess that's okay.
This girl...
She's one of the ones who kidnapped Miyu.
Wh-What do I do?
And Ruby's not here...
ooku hibiku dareka no ashioto
The far off echo of someone's footsteps,
遠く響く誰かの足音

Melts away my sense of loneliness.
孤独の気配を溶かして

On a night where falling stars traverse my view,
星降る夜視界横切る

I entrust my wish unto their light.

We're looking up at that same sky,

So I'll keep crossing through time...

Until I can reach where you are!

Constellations call to one another, decorating the sky,

As I take Polaris as my guide;

Even if I get caught up in the waves of fate,

For now, I'm heading off to find you!

I'm here with you...

Episode 2
Encounters and Reunions
Why don't you come out of there?
I won't hurt you.
Tanaka-san, go out through the back and run!
Tanaka-san?
Tana—
I'm Tanaka! Where are we? Who am I?
Tanaka-san?!
Bloomers?!
Idiot! Pervert!
What's with this girl?
Did we have someone like her?
Well, whatever.
For now...
A Card!
Include!
Oh!
Huh?
Let's go a round!
Ah, there's the white one.
W-We have to run, Tanaka-san! Run!
You're running?
Good... I enjoy that, too.
That woman Included the Card into her arm?
Berserker? A second one?
Plus, does "white one" mean...
No, right now,
I have to run!
I'm good at cornering people who run...
And I love it!
Oh, come on. You have totally no fight in you.
I wanted to throw more things at you.
Tanaka-san?
What? If you're going to beg for your life,
I'd prefer if you were as pitiful as possible.
Um...
Who am I?
Like I know! You're an idiot!
You're a supreme idiot!
Tanaka-san! Please realize what's happening!
In that case...
Who are you?
Well, fine.
It seems dumb to give my name to an idiot, but...
I'm Beatrice Flowerchild!
Ainsworth's supremely beautiful doll!
Glad to know ya!
"Ainsworth"...
Tanaka-san just mentioned that.
Then these people really are...
Ainsworth...
That said, we'll only know each other for about one second longer!
What? I was just at the super good part!
Yeah, that's true, but...
Yes, yes. I know!
She's talking to someone?
Tsk, fine.
I'll see you two again.
Next time, I'll definitely crush you dead!
Ah!
She's gone?
That was a surprise. Now, shall we get going?
Huh?
Wh-Where?
Illya-san, you're searching for Miyu, right?
Yeah, that person just now captured Miyu, so I have to go save her!
Okay! Then I'll go with you, too.
Th-Thank you... But why?
Because my role is to eliminate the Ainsworth family.
Wow, really?
Huh?
Wh-What do you mean by that, Tanaka-san?
I'm not sure.
I still don't remember much, except just one thing...
I absolutely must destroy that family.
For whatever reason, that's all I can remember.
Frankly, there's still too much I don't understand,
but it seems to be true that Tanaka-san and I have the same destination.
Let's go, Tanaka-san.
Where's the Ainsworth family?
I don't know.
Right. You have amnesia.
It's not your fault.
Thinking for even one second that I could rely on you was my mistake.
Am I being blamed?
What do I do from here?
I don't even know where our destination is...
Hey, Tanaka-san, do you have any memories that might give us a clue?
Tanaka-san?!
What's wrong, Tanaka-san?
M-My tummy is sad.
Oh... That's right, you haven't had anything but water.
Please take me to the park.
Water? You plan to drink water?!
I'm sorry, Tanaka-san!
I didn't tell you, but you can't relieve real hunger with water!
Wh-What do I do?
Where do I go for food?
What's wrong? On the verge of collapse?
Huh?
Something smells good!
Oh, you're awake.
Huh? Where are we?
At a ramen shop.
The owner helped carry you here while you were unconscious.
It's almost done.
Sit quietly and wait.
Um, I'm sorry.
You helped me carry Tanaka-san, and now you're treating us to food.
I don't mind.
You were hungry, right?
As a ramen shop owner, I couldn't leave you there.
It smells real good! What is it?
You don't know what ramen is?
I don't!
It smells like you crushed wheat into powder,
kneaded it with water, and boiled the solid result!
What's with her?
She has a very slanted breadth of knowledge.
It's done.
Feel free to savor it.
Yay! Thank you very much! Now, to eat...
It's red.
Um, what's this?
Hmm?
It's mapo tofu.
Where's the ramen?
The noodles are just decoration.
There's only a paltry amount, sunk within a mapo sea.
Huh?! There isn't even any ramen broth!
It's all just mapo sauce!
And it's as spicy as it looks!
It's hellishly spicy!
You complain a lot.
Why don't you learn from your companion?
Thank you so much.
My mouth and stomach are so burned, they're throbbing,
and I can't stop sweating or shaking.
That's not an opinion on the food!
Well, it goes without saying,
but I won't let you leave any uneaten.
If you say it's impossible to eat,
I'll bury you up to your neck and pour the mapo down your throat.
I don't want to become a delicacy!
Thank you for the food...
Good.
Enjoy it, girl.
Now you've consumed a whole day's worth of calories.
Just how cruel is this meal?!
Um,
would you mind if I asked something?
What in the world happened to this city?
What do you mean?
That huge crater, for one.
That big hole was caused by a gas explosion.
A gas explosion?
It happened roughly five years ago.
A vast deposit of natural gas sleeping in the earth somehow caught fire
and blew away several kilometers.
They issued an evacuation order, as well.
So now, people live meagerly on the outskirts of the city.
Uh, in that case, why is it snowing?
Snowing? It always snows in summer.
You can say that with a straight face?
More importantly,
two mapo ramen come to 3,200 yen.
You're charging?
Of course.
B-But wouldn't you normally treat us after what we went through?
And isn't that expensive?
Surely you aren't penniless, are you?
T-Tanaka-san, do you have money?
What's money? Does it taste good?
That's what I thought!
You underestimate me if you think you can dine and dash.
However, I did just run out of pork bones.
That's way more hostility than a ramen shop owner should express!
Consider yourself fortunate that your final meal was my mapo
as you leave this life!
Afternoon. Still at it, old man?
Hmm?
Huh?
Oh?
Good grief...
What are you doing, after I just paid your bill?
W-Well, you're our enemy, aren't you?
You're the Heroic Spirit of the Card, so you're after Miyu?
That's uncouth...
Bringing that up again, after you won?
That bit ended in your victory, didn't it?
Besides, I was just respecting the will of my "black" self.
I, personally, have no reason to oppose you.
Why are you alive, anyway?
Because you only blasted away my "black" self.
So while I was wandering that mountain searching for something,
I was accidentally swept up in the dimension shift.
Before I knew it, I was here.
So,
let's get along from now on, Onee-chan.
W-Well, in that case, I guess I don't see any reason for hostility,
and you did pay our bill, so I suppose I wouldn't mind showing gratitude!
Do people ever tell you you're easy to handle?
By the way, who's that young lady?
Tanaka! Who are you? What do you do?
You're asking like someone translating a foreign language.
She claims to have amnesia.
Hmm, well... For now, you can call me "Gil."
I'm enjoying life in modern times right now.
Still, a girl with amnesia, huh?
I have knowledge of this era I've been summoned to and about the Ainsworth family,
but I don't know anything about you, Tanaka-san.
You know the Ainsworths?
Know them?
I was summoned by the Cards they created.
They're the ones causing the Holy Grail War in this world,
using Miyu as their Holy Grail.
Miyu!
Hey, why do you know that name—
I'll destroy them.
I'm here to destroy the Ainsworths.
I want to rescue Miyu!
Please, if you know where she is, tell me!
You two are really out there.
Destroying the Ainsworths and rescuing Miyu
are practically the same wish.
But how will you achieve that?
Where did your stick go?
Will you go there in your raw flesh?
That would be marching to your death.
But...
Yeah.
It's interesting!
Huh?
Let's go.
Well, it's not as if I don't have business with them, too.
You'll show us the way?
You should be grateful to this dull, boring city.
Otherwise, I'd never be struck by such a whim.
We each have our own objectives, but we're going to the same place.
I'll lead you there.
Ainsworth's atelier is in the center of the crater.
Coats are so warm...
I couldn't leave a cold girl in thin layers.
What financial power and tolerance.
You should have also bought proper clothes, Tanaka-san.
Me? I'm nice and toasty, so I'm fine.
Now, then...
Down with the Ainsworths! Let's do this!
She just looks like she's heading off to club practice.
We aim for the nationals!
You're not doing this on purpose, are you, Tanaka-san?
Seeing it up close is intense...
Make sure not to accidentally enter the crater.
They'll sense you in a heartbeat.
Th-Then what do we do?
It would be a cinch with Vimana, but...
Hmm, guess the other one has it.
What to do, then?
That won't work, or that.
Not this, either.
Hey, I've seen something like this before...
Not this. Or this...
Oh, yeah, this should do.
Huh? What's that?
I think this is a bit wrong.
What is?
The way we look.
But I'm having tons of fun!
You shouldn't be having fun when we're storming the enemy base.
But it's working perfectly.
Anything wrapped in this cloth is perfectly concealed, visually and magically.
As long as you remain in it, they won't ever sense us.
I understand that,
but where are we supposed we go?
You said it's in the center of the crater?
But...
There's nothing but wasteland as far as you can see.
We're almost at the center.
Don't make any loud noises past this point.
The cloth won't conceal sound, after all.
Huh? S-Sure, but...
Don't worry. Just step forward slowly.
Wind? Why is there such a warm wind?
Huh?! What's tha—
Yes, loud reactions are also forbidden.
What's going on?
Nothing was here a second ago!
They make it look like nothing is here.
A blue sky,
pretty flower gardens,
a beautiful castle...
It's like a paradise in another world.
That's what makes it scary.
The people capable of this are our enemies?
Why aren't we going inside?
I'm pretty sure it would be bad to walk through the front door.
Wait for me, Miyu. I promise I'll find—
That's the other one who kidnapped Miyu!
I-If she spots us...
Nothing here, huh?
Thought I smelled mapo.
Oh, right. It can't conceal scents, either.
We nearly died again because of mapo!
Either way, we're safe.
We narrowly avoided a game over.
Hey, Gil-kun...
Doesn't that door look suspicious?
It does.
It's hard to believe she'd go in and out without reason.
Let's try going in!
I guess we were wrong.
I can't imagine Miyu would be here—
Someone's there.
Huh? Wh-Where?
All the way back there.
There's someone inside.
This door looks like it's for a jail cell.
Miyu?!
Ah, hold on...
Miyu! Are you in there?
If you're there, answer me! Miyu!
Who's there?
A man's voice?
You're not with the Ainsworths, are you?
Do you all... know Miyu?
I'm Miyu's friend!
I came here to rescue Miyu!
Her friend...
I see. I get it...
She got her wish.
He's crying?
I'm Miyu's older brother.
M-Miyu's older brother?
But then, why are you locked up here?
Because I failed.
I fought Ainsworth to get Miyu back.
And I managed to free Miyu from this world.
But...
Miyu's come back here again.
Even after all that, she couldn't escape the chains of her fate!
This is my fate...
Her fate?
I know!
I'm the worst kind of evil.
But please... I'm begging you.
Save Miyu.
I don't know anything about fate.
Miyu never told me about her past,
and I didn't know Miyu was being held captive by something this big.
The Miyu I know
has trouble chatting, and her expressions are hard to read.
So, at first, I was a little scared of her.
But I understand now.
Miyu's just
really awkward, that's all.
Her feelings are hidden behind her clumsy expressions.
When I told her I wanted us to be friends, she risked her life living up to those words.
I still don't know much about fate or what's what in this world,
but that's reason enough for me.
I'll save her because she's my friend.
If anyone wants to make Miyu unhappy,
I definitely won't let them!
Thanks to you,
half of my wish has already been granted.
Please go to Miyu.
You can leave me behind.
What are you saying? You'll come with us!
I wouldn't.
That lock is magic.
Besides, we don't know what traps are—
Wh-What's that?
That was close...
Ambushes are for commoners, you know.
Tell me how you infiltrated us.
I have rather mixed feelings right now
about facing off against that visage.
If you won't answer...
Then I'll kill you one by one.
Sorry, Illya-san.
That is my objective.
