There is no doubt that Nakasugi Sayaka is the host of the Ryunka.
We were able to find traces of the Ryunka by analyzing the sample you obtained.
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.
The 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…
Yawn~
Tsutomu?
Huh? We’re in a spaceship? What's wrong?
Well Tsutomu…
Perfect timing. There is something I need to discuss with you Tsutomu-kun.
Um… Yes?
Inspector!
Tsutomu-kun. We have completed the repairs on your body.
Eh? That’s great!
Hmm? Aren’t you glad Birdy?
Uh… Of course I’m glad. Good for you Tsutomu.
Good for you…
Hurray! As I thought it's a good thing to be free, right Birdy?
What’s wrong Birdy?
Well Tsutomu…
Why are you so gloomy when we finally got our own bodies back?
Tsutomu… The truth is that… The Ryunka…
Eh?
Nakasugi-san is the Ryunka!
Wha…
Tsutomu...
That’s a lie!
That's a lie~
I can't say it...
Hmm? What’s up Birdy? My benevolent heart can take anything in right now.
The new semester is just beginning and you already have a smirk on your face.
What, it's just you Hayamiya.
So, how did that date go?
You didn't lose control and pounced her did you!?
Don’t say such things.
It’s suspicious…
I’m gonna ask Nakasugi when she gets here.
Don’t do that!
Why are you so uneasy? It’s so suspicious~
Hey!
This is...!?
Hayamiya!
Isn’t this Nakasugi-san’s grandfather?
The president of Nakasugi IT company has been murdered.
Hey! The opening ceremony is going to start soon!
I’m going home early!
NO ENTRY
The traffic in front of the Nakasugi residence is currently being regulated, resulting in 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-san…
Hey you there! No entry!
Hello?
The number that you dialed cannot be reached because it is in a non-reachable area or has its power turned off.
I just can’t believe it...
Her grandfather was a nice person...
Hey, look at that.
"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 suspicious is going on...
Eh?
Why do strange incidents keep happening around Nakasugi-san?
Maybe she’s caught in the middle of something strange.
Tsutomu…
Um hey, actually...
Hey, that’s…!
Nakasugi-san...
Tsutomu...
Birdy, please… can we start coming here for a while, starting today?
I want to protect Nakasugi-san.
So, if she gets into a dangerous situation…
Birdy, I need you to lend me your strength.
Please Birdy, I’m begging you…
Hey, stop that!
Please Birdy!
Tsutomu…
How was it? Were you able to get in touch with Nakasugi-san?
It’s no good. I can't reach her house phone either.
She must be going through a lot again…
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 third day right? Aren't you at your limit?
I’m alright… Just a bit more…
But, how about the Ryunka?
Oh, we’re still having difficulties with our investigations.
I see. Tell me if you find anything out, I’ll be sure to cooperate.
Okay.
Although I can't do anything, but it'll be dangerous if we don't find it soon right?
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?
Won’t they die along as well?
I don't want that to happen too!
I’m not blaming you or anything, because it can’t be helped, right?
What an unpleasant job…
Without making any headway on the investigations about the murder of Nakasugi Katsutoshi-san...
Nakasugi Industrial Technologies is holding a funeral…
Hmm?
Shyamalan.
It couldn’t be…
Senkawa-kun...
Tsutomu?
Tsutomu!
Aren’t you satisfied by now?
Let's call it quits.
No… just a little longer.
I just want to watch over her until we can get in touch again.
Hey Tsutomu… I have something I must tell you.
Eh? What is it?
Don’t be surprised alright?
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 quickly!
…and then I’ll capture it.
Don’t you mean take custody? Custody.
Maybe we should just make a barricade in her house.
She’s the Ryunka.
Huh?
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 annihilate-
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 would die.
I know that!
But, Nakasugi-san is… Nakasugi-san hasn’t done anything wrong, right?
Why? Why is it that she must be killed?
Don’t cry, please understand Tsutomu. It’s for the sake of countless lives.
I don’t want to!
It's definitely wrong! She's the Ryunka? That's a LIE!
IT'S A LIEEE!
Eh!?
Watch out!
Ouch!
Why did my body…
W-Wait Tsutomu!
I’ll never let you get to Nakasugi-san!
Tsutomu!
Although it was a short time, Senkawa Tsutomu was able to suppress Birdy’s consciousness and control her body.
The symptoms of long-term mind-fusion had begun to take effect, Birdy.
You were in a dangerous situation.
Inspector Megius.
You’ve finally awakened.
Nayjla.
She will give complete cooperation to the Echelon henceforth.
Understood?
Birdy, do as she says.
Please wait a moment!
I have the responsibility of protecting the life of Senkawa Tsutomu!
That is no longer necessary, Birdy.
Huh?
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 trivial matters.
We will immediately secure the Ryunka and dispose of it.
Nakasugi-san!
Tsutomu!
Ouch…
You should return now.
What?
That hurt.
Nakasugi-san!
Clothes! Clothes!
Ouch!
Crap… Glasses! Glasses!
What is it, at a time like this?
Yes, hold on a moment please.
Huh?
I didn’t think she would disappear...
Any clues to her whereabouts?
Isn’t it better to wait here than to search for her blindly?
It seemed like you don’t want to secure the Ryunka.
Does the Echelon really not know a method to remove the Ryunka without harming its host?
Unfortunately we don’t have data on such matters.
How useless…
That's my line.
Is it a Federal Investigator?
Guess so.
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 since 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… moreover Yoshie-san...
I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Nakasugi-san.
I…
Eh… Uh… Where was it?
There it is!
Nakasugi-san.
Thank you.
Please start by calming down.
You can stay here if you like.
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.
I see...
Are they making you feel uneasy?
No.
They’re all kind.
Even though I’ve just met them they’re so kind to me.
So kind that they are disgusting.
UNIDENTIFIED NUMBER
Huh?
Hello?
Tsutomu? Nakasugi-san is with you right?
No, she’s not here.
I don’t want to force her to go.
Please entrust her to me.
Tsutomu?
You're going to "dispose" of the Ryunka right?
Nakasugi-san has already assimilated with the Ryunka.
If the Ryunka fully activates, this earth will suffer the tragic fate of Veilgema.
Every human being will die!
She isn’t the Ryunka.
Tsutomu...
It seems like you failed to negotiate.
Nayjla.
I’ll tell you something… the disposal of the Ryunka by the Echelon has been postponed for a while.
Huh!?
A dispute regarding the handling of the Ryunka has begun within the federation government.
There seems to be those who want to use this 'Earth' as a Ryunka experiment.
An experimental area for lost technology.
The number of deaths of a backwater civilization is of no concern to them.
Let's 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.
Let's go somewhere far away together.
As far as we can from this place!
Senkawa-kun.
Nakasugi-san.
Come, hurry up.
It feels as if we're escapees or something.
What?
Where do you want to run to?
Umm…
Do you want to go north?
Or south?
Uh… What should we do?
How about to the ends of the world?
But I don't have a passport...
So you were serious Senkawa-kun.
I’m happy.
Uh…
Let's run around the world robbing banks.
Then we won’t have any financial problems.
But that’s...
Then let's start practice escaping.
Hey, wait a sec…
Come on, run.
Nakasugi-san.
We’re like Bonnie and Clyde aren’t we?
What's that?
It’s an old movie.
It’s about two lovers who travel while robbing banks.
Eh... What happened to them in the end?
They were shot by the police and died together.
Senkawa-kun, if it's with me, would you mind if we died together?
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 your 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?
You know, Senkawa-kun…
What?
I'm thinking of going to Satyajit Shyamalan-san's place.
Shyamalan?
Why?
All my relatives just want a piece of my grandfather's fortune.
Even his company wants the same thing.
But Shyamalan-san said he respected my grandfather.
So he’s worried for both me and the company.
It’s so childish to try to run somewhere with just the two of us, right?
I’ll protect you Nakasugi-san.
Thank you… but I've already decided.
I’m going to Shyamalan-san’s place.
I know it was sudden, but my councelor told me that I should take care of such matters with haste.
The cruise will be a good refresher, plus going overseas for awhile might be a great experience.
Senkawa-kun.
Y-Yes?
Rest assured, I will take complete responsibility for Sayaka-san’s happiness.
Well, shall we go, Sayaka?
Okay…
Senkawa-kun.
I’ll contact you so... We'll surely see each other again, right?
Nakasugi-san.
There is no need for worries. I'm just gonna raise her, thats all.
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 going through changes yet again. She will change from being Chosen to being the Choice-Maker.
What?
Don’t worry, no harm will come to her.
I'm just going to raise her, that's all.
That can’t be…
Don’t worry, no harm will come to her.
I'm just going to raise her, that's all.
...her...
This is Arita Shion de arimasu~
Uhaaa!
Things have turned out bad de arimasu~
Will Tsutomu-kun and Birdy-san ever be able to get along together again?
It makes me so sad to see them like that.
To top it all off, Shyamalan-san is going to do this… and that… to Nakasugi-san!
Kyaaaaaaaa!~
Nakasugi-san run~!!
