Maryuin.
I must bring you down here and now!
I must do it once and for all!
As a Holy Knight who serves the Holy Dragon Astaroy!
No... As a fighter for a noble cause, who loved his home...
I will destroy you now!
Maryuin! Why did you betray us?
That's your answer?
In that case...
Take this!
Maten Hoga!
The secret sword "Nanashiki."
Not... possible...
Holy Knight Balzac...
I will not apologize.
But when I'm finished with everything,
my time will come to join you...
When I kill the Holy Dragon Astaroy...
Farewell until then... my fellow fighter...
When the winner leaves, the remains suddenly begin to burn.
As the victor departed, the corpse magically burst into flames.
Blue flames. Smokeless, they consumed the body.
The blue flame, without creating any smoke,
consumes the very flesh and blood.
Not a trace of it remained.
Not even a single drop of blood will remain.
And he swore upon those flames, as they removed the evidence.
The Oath of the Magical Flame.
It is a magical pledge
Swore a magically binding oath from the Ether as he set off to continue his mission.
that a departing Knight is obligated to follow in the Mirror World
so that the dead will leave no trace of themselves.
No one in modern Japan could have guessed
This is the reason why almost no one knows the fact
that just behind the curtain, a bloody war was raging.
that these relentless struggles are being played out
just behind the reality of modern Japanese society.
One not of this world.
Excerpt from The Legend of the Chosen One, vol. 9
Excerpt from Myth of Maryuin, Volume Nine.
My high school debut was a success.
I spent almost the entirety
of my not-so-short spring break preparing to enter high school,
and as a reward, I got what I wanted.
Morning.
What's up, Issan?
Yo. You barely made it.
Just the usual oversleeping.
What were you two talking about?
About which club to join.
Have you decided?
Oh...

MONTH DATE DAY
Good morning, Kawai-kun, Kobayashi-kun, and Sato-kun.
Oh. Good morning.
Ah, yeah...
Good m...
You three are always together.
We formed a trio.
Wow, is that right? Congratulations.
You formed a sextet, too.
Huh?
S-s-s-s...
Sex... tits?
No! It means a group of six people.

By the way, I wonder what this student is like.
This person, Sato.
Me?
No. I meant the other Sato who sits to your front left.
The female Sato.
Ah...
She hasn't showed up yet, not even once.
Maybe she won't come. It's already been a week since school started.
So what do you think?
Anything catch your eye?
I've never worn anything like these, so I don't know how to choose...
I think this one's cool.
Yeah.
Well, if you want something you can wear to school,
How about this one?

Huh?
~ K o g a M a r y u i n ' s L a s t W a r ~
Oh. Well, um...
What are you doing here?
Oh...
It came.
What's that?
The Researcher, confirmation is complete.
Cross-check found a 99.8% match.
Wh-who is there?!
Abnormality is detected due to the influences from the Phenomenal World,
however, it is recognized as an informational entity.
The physical interference level is three.
The holder of plenary powers requests the Researcher to take immediate action.
What action?
What is she gonna do?
Ferura...
Shamanic field driver... stand-by.
Are we gonna fight? Is this a battle?
It's a battle, huh?
Are you gonna shoot that? Stop it! Not here!
Step back, if you wanna save your life, Citizen of the Phenomenal World.
Citizen of the Phenomenal World?
Initiate attack.
Hey...
Mission failed.
Huh?!
Begin temporary evacuation.
Umm...
You, citizen of the Phenomenal World, you must come with me.
Come with you? I have something I need to do.
What? This way.
Hey, you're the one who removed the window?
Is that okay? If the school finds out, you could get in big trouble...
No need to worry.
In this Phenomenal World where no magical powers,
let alone Mana Converters exist,
no one can make visual confirmation of the Researcher.
I can. See you, I mean.
W-what?
Those eyes.
My eyes? What about them?
Are you saying I have supernatural eyes?
How come you know about the supernatural eyes?
Well, I just made it up.
I'm convinced.
I hear there used to be magic in the Phenomenal World as well.
The Researcher shall regard Citizen A of the Phenomenal World
as a possessor of supernatural eyes.
I don't care about that.
But look, I have a name, and that's Ichiro Sato.
And stop calling me a citizen of the Phenomenal World. It feels weird.
Understood.
Citizen A of the Phenomenal World will be referred to as Ichiro Sato.
Just call me Sato or Ichiro.
Ichiro.
R-right...
And you are...?
Hey! Who's there?
Crap!
Whoa! What's this?!
What?!
We'll lay low in here until the security guard withdraws.
Oh, okay.
By the way, what's your name?
The Researcher.
Is that a name?
Sounds more like a code name.
More precisely, an entity that belongs to a class called the Researcher.
The Researcher was sent to this world to collect Dragon Terminals.
Dragon Terminals... What are those?
Dragon as in the mythical beast? Or do you mean dinosaurs?
Unlike the commonly-known reptiles,
it refers to a general high-dimensional device with intelligence.
It moves from one dimension to another, and is able to adapt to any environment...
In other words, it's one heck of a device.
We should get moving now.
Ichiro. Deactivate your suspension mode.
A-are you alright? You can put your hands on me.
Proposal accepted.
This is where we part ways.
What?
The Researcher can no longer get a citizen from the Phenomenal World involved.
Rest assured, Ichiro. You can get back to your daily activities.
I see...
I'll help!
You saw that searching for Dragon Terminals comes with risks.
That decision is extremely ill-advised.
I know that.
But I'm not satisfied with what you call the "daily activities" of the Phenomenal World.
There's no evidence that you need satisfaction for vital activities.
...Or with the "reality."
Reality. The word that's paired with fiction.
Ichiro, do you crave fiction and fantasy?
It's not like that, but...
I think that reality should be open to interpretation.
That's why when I saw you, looking like that, I didn't get too flustered.
I could accept it.
You accepted. Ichiro, did you accept the Researcher?
That's right. I didn't reject you, did I?
I mean, you saved me, and...
Well, if there's anything out of the ordinary, I want to see it.
If something exciting and extraordinary exists...
I want to see it.
Not good enough?
Hmm?
Ah. I'm home.
Where have you been? It's very late.
I went to school. I forgot to bring something home.
Okay... How was school?
Not bad. I went out with some friends today,
and bought a cheap watch.
Good, good.
That's a good thing.
Y-yeah.
Sorry.
Don't worry. That's all right. Do you have enough money?
Mother!
I'm good. I don't need any more than the monthly allowance.
That's the rule.
If you find yourself in trouble, you come talk to me.
Hey,
is that from Kume-san's shop?
Hmm? Oh...
Y-yeah. I went there with Saito and the other guys.
Wow. Sato-kun, you bought a watch.
It's nice. It's really nice and casual.
Hey, Sato-kun. We were gonna go shopping near the station today.
Why don't you join us?
Oh... Is that all right with you?
Sure. No problem at all.
Alright then, let me know your cell number later.
Talk to you later!
Maybe I'll look for a watch, too.
Wow! Seriously?!
You got Takahashi to come and talk to you? That's cool, man.
I'm jealous. Maybe you'll wind up joining his group.
So like you saw, Sato-kun will be joining us after school.
They're so different. They have some kind of aura.
I don't like going in a big group. It's so hard to move.
But it'd be fun with Sato-kun. I like that idea.
Aura, huh?
I don't know, but whatever. I don't care as long as I get to shop for clothes.
I'll see you again, won't I?
Oh...
Huh?
Ichiro Sato. As my data indicated, you did belong to this squad.
Well... I'm... Sato, but...
But I'm a bit... confused right now...
What's she wearing?
Is she Sato's friend?
Cosplayer? Impossible!
Th-this is it, right?! What you're after?
Whoa! W-w-whoa!
Make miracle!
Dress up!
Hey, I know what that is.
I've seen that toy before. What? What is it?
That's from the TV show for little girls. The one that starts at 8:30 on Sunday.
I know! I used to watch it when I was little.
What?
It's not something boys should have. Impossible.
Gross. Is Sato an anime geek?
The entity named Ichiro Sato is configured as a slave
in the search mission for Dragon Terminals.
The intentions of the Network will reach all active bodies,
and every active body's...
C O U N S E L O R ' S O F F I C E
It's love, Sato.
Huh? What was that, Sensei?
You haven't heard?
I'm the one who took you to the nurse's office after you passed out.
Oh, yes, I heard.
Thank you very much.
No worries.
My actions are the results of love as an educator.
Well, the reason why you told me to come here is... Is it about this morning?
That has a little to do with it, too.
A little?
Okay. I'll tell you straight up, like a man.
There was an intruder at school last night.
That was you, Sato. Well!
Th-there's a misunderstanding. I went back to get my textbook, and...
I figured you had a reason like that.
Now. About the other intruder...
That female cosplayer.
Yes, that girl.
She's actually in our class, and her last name is also Sato, like you.
You knew there was a female student who's been absent since day one, right?
Oh, now that you mention it.
To tell you the truth,
I'm willing to overlook the illegal intrusion by both of you last night.
But in return, there's something I want you to do.
You want me to do something?
I want you become friends with that girl... Ryoko Sato.
Can't do that.
I personally...
hate that cosplaying stuff.
I have no intention of... making deals with you.
I'm not trying to make a deal. I'm asking you a favor.
Boy Sato and Girl Sato. What a great match.
I'll excuse myself now.
SURVEY
Ichirou Satou Addendum
Oops, it slipped out of my hands.
Man, this report should never be seen by students.
If they did, then one of my beloved students' past will be exposed.
You'll do me the favor, won't you?
Y-you!
Dragon wave detected. As I thought, one of the Terminals must be in this building.
Stop with that story. I know your secret now.
By the numerological prediction, the existence of Dragon Terminals are certainly observed.
Enough with that nonsense. Looking for things that don't even exist...
So silly.
Significant deterioration is confirmed in Ichiro's behavior.
It's your fault! Let me tell you something.
You're not a witch from another world. You're just a high school student.
A boring, average type of person who can be found anywhere.
That's who you are, Ryoko Sato!
Ichiro seems to have received a wavelength conversion.
There you go again with your special lingo.
If you think you can trick people into believing you
by lining up those technical terms, then you're totally wrong.
Wavelength conversion in your language would be brainwashing.
It interferes with the brainwaves of a carbon-type active entity-
All right. I've had enough of that already.
If the Researcher reconverts Ichiro's wavelength,
the problem will be solved.
Oh yeah? Well, if that doesn't solve the problem,
then you'll admit that you're delusional?
Receive the treatment. Sit on this chair and close your eyes.
No thanks. What's the point? I'm leaving anyway.
If you don't change your mind after the procedure, then I'll accept your story.
You said it. By accepting it, you must stop that stupid cosplaying.
I accept what you say.
Alright, then.
Do it. The reconversion you're talking about.
Don't move.
Uh...
!"@{|#$%#$O"#'?!
It seems you're suffering from a temporary disorder of language function due to the reconversion.
Consider it proof of a successful treatment.
This isn't fair.
What's that?
A cosplayer?
Is there some kind of a photo shoot?
Ask if you can take a picture with her!
What? No way!
Hey, come on. Let's not do this. Please. I beg you.
In the search for Dragon Terminals,
the Researcher is the master and Ichiro is the slave.
Since you've already taken the oath,
you, Ichiro, are obligated to follow the Researcher's orders.
But these people... At least pick a place where people won't see us.
Rest assured.
The Researcher's appearance is concealed optically,
so the general public won't be able to see it.
No, they're seeing you.
Their eyes are glued to your appearance.
It's just ridiculous... your story!
Quit it! Stand up!
You need to... stop it.
Uh. Hey!
Please don't!
It's not there!
You won't find anything there!
You two. What are you doing?
What?! N-no! W-well, this is just...
What are you wearing?
Oh, hey! You! Don't run away!
I heard that there was a shoot for some TV show in front of the station yesterday.
Huh?
Sato-kun!
K-Kobato-san?
Good morning! You're in a little late today.
Oh, yes.
Sorry about yesterday.
We waited for about five minutes after class was dismissed,
but you didn't come back, so we left the school without you.
Oh, I-I see...
So I guess next time then.
Yeah, sure.
Ichiro.
Whoa!
W-when did you get here?
At 7:42 am.
In other words, I've been here since before all the other students arrived.
Stop lying. Besides...
Are you taking classes in that outfit?
Good morning, everyone.
Oh?
You finally came to school, Miss Sato.
It's nice to meet you. I'm your homeroom teacher, Dorisen.
Of course, "Dorisen" is just a nickname.
Since my wife and I are oshidori, and they started calling me oshidori sensei...
...then it got shorter over time...
Miss Sato?
Ichiro. An adult male is calling you.
He's calling you.
The Researcher does not have such a name.
Well, I guess it's good enough that you came for now.
You didn't bring your... textbooks, did you?
Miss Sahara. I apologize for the inconvenience,
but could you switch seats with Miss Sato?
Oh. Okay.
Hmm?
Hey. Where are you going?
You can't go out there...
It's off-limits. For suicide prevention.
Highly-concentrated genius loci are detected on the other side of this.
Meaning that the place is suited for building a temple.
That's ridiculous.
You gotta come up with a different story.
Magical lockpick.
What's magical about it?!
You have no intention of using any magic at all, do you?
I don't care about your disappointed look. Let's go.
Huh? What's wrong?
Hey. Where are you going?
For a search.
No. Class is going to start soon.
Oh, hey!
Ouch!
Oh that's why...
Huh?
Y-you're burning me again... Anticross.
I got a word from Zeushelm.
Move out my way.
Sato.
As comrades who both languish in this world,
...And they said something really bad is happening!
let's take each other's hands, and...
I don't really get you guys.
Sato! Watch this!
How insolent!
Abandoning a lady who seeks help!
My Vampire's instinct!
How can you call yourself a samurai?!
I don't.
I see...
So you decided to call them "Dream Soldiers."
I think you have a very good talent for coming up with names.
Do you have any idea
just how many students in our class live in their own fantasy world?
I wonder how many...
Half of the class.
Out of the 36 students in the class, half of them are insane.
That's a harsh word.
But they approached you because they like you.
Probably because I'm with Ryoko.
But they got the wrong idea.
They think I'm open to those kinds of things.
So they like you. That's good for you.
This isn't funny!
They love the idea of a previous life or past incarnation as a warrior,
and strongly believe that this life is fake,
and that their previous life is the one that's real!
That's more than living deeply in their fantasy world!!
They're out of their minds!
Of course, you know more about that than anybody.
But you're right. We can't let it go on like this.
All right. I'll take some measures.
CHANGING SEATS
MONTH DATE DAY
Today, we're going to change your seating arrangement.
How about this?
Uh...
Huh?
Hmm?
Hello?
Hi Sato. It's me, Dorisen.
Sensei?! How did you get my cell phone number?
It's love, Sato.
Then how come you made that seating arrangement?
Could you meet me at the station tomorrow?
But tomorrow's Sunday.
I want to discuss how you can spend your school life in peace.
Right...
W-what are you doing here? Where's Dorisen?
That phone call was made by the Researcher.
Huh! That's a lie! It was the real Dorisen's voice.
It's boys love.
Oh...
Look, I may as well ask:
Why did you call me here?
Hey, how about some table manners?
The Researcher has continued with the search alone.
It's extremely inefficient.
Ichiro must immediately join the search,
and provide backup support for his master unit.
I have control. I have control.
Just what I thought.
Hey, can't we just search inside the school?
Dragon Terminals do exist in school,
but they're also found in the city.
So, no.
Hey, that "no" you just said? It sounded like human.
I found a little flaw in your acting. How about that, huh?
Oh?
Hey, stop pushing, you.
That's not good. Let's get out of here.
Yeah.
Huh?
Like I said, you gross me out!
Speak to me in a way I can understand.
Are you playing with us?
You think we're dumb?
Yamamoto-kun...
Sato-kun!
Kobato-san. What's going on?
Yo, did you hear what I said?!
Well, it all started when Yuumin mentioned to Sato-san how it's against the rules to not wear the uniform.
Oda! Take off your blinder.
And she ignored her.
I, myself...
What "myself"? You gross me out! Take it off!
And that got on Oshima's nerves.
Yes. And she started bringing up other things,
like how she hardly ever talks to people and that strange staff she has.
She got angrier, and it didn't stop with Sato-san. She started picking on everyone.
Yo! Don't ignore us! Take it off!
Hey you two? There's no need for anger.
Kobato, it's none of your business.
Stay out of it.
I still haven't gotten a good explanation.
But...!
I'm not bullying them or anything.
I just warned them because they're not properly dressed.
There's no need for you to worry.
Go stay with Aki.
For starters, everyone who's breaking the rules...
You should take off everything that's not the uniform.
It's not fair that only you guys can wear whatever you want!
She's right. I think so, too.
Now Oda. You go first.
Or maybe I'll throw it away for you.
No! Ah!
Stop it, Yamamoto-kun!
You can't use force on a lady. It's against men's-
There. One idiot down.
Ah!
Ouch!
You...
What do you think you're doing?
You don't think I won't kill you?
W-whoa!
You! Sato!
You playing with me?
You're just a stupid little idiot, and you wanna fight?!
Huh?
You're the stupid little idiot. Maybe you should really act like one.
Damn you!
Your breath stinks, Yamamoto.
Huh.
You...
Ow!
What's going on?!
Yama! Idiot!
Stop it!
What are you doing?!
Hey, are you okay?
This is bad...
Someone take him to the nurse's office!
Yes, I'll go with him!
Me, too!
What... just happened?
He isn't the one to be blamed anymore.
Who? Just give me the name of the person who did it.
And their address.
You're being scary.
Good morning, sir!
MONTH DATE
G-good morning. What's up?
Are you some kind of big shot who belongs to some special organization?
Huh? Why?
You're popular. And you act like it's nothing even after you got beaten up.
Popular? Me?
No way.
Really? I think you're something, too.
I think about half of the class is very fond of you, Sato-kun.
Th-they're soldiers before they're human.
So we can't count them.
MONTH DATE DAY
CLASS MONITORS
Besides, I think people naturally hate a guy like that.
You know, Yamamoto, who was in your group.
Oh, Yamamoto-kun.
I heard he's suspended for a while.
He discredited himself big time with this incident.
Oh, time for class, Sato-kun.
Oh, yeah.
Sato-san? Did you bring your lunch?
I-is that your lunch?
Eating is an act of supplying energy.
It's maintenance for a carbon active entity-
What happened to your story? People can see you now?
I made some fine optical adjustments,
which enhanced the scope of the subject's visibility to others.
Due to that change, some of the humans can now-
Okay, okay, okay, okay. Let's eat!
If you like, you can have some of mine.
Feel free to pick whatever you like.
Ah!
Is it good?
The upgrade of the Researcher's biological body removed some unnecessary sense of taste.
Therefore, she is not able to taste any savory flavor.
You just came up with that story, didn't you?
You really are something, aren't you, Sato-san?
But it's hard to distinguish Sato-kun and Sato-san,
so can I call you Ryoko-chan?
Well. I guess it's all right.
Then should I call you by your first name, too, Sato-kun?
Huh? My name is not important.
Your name isn't "Not Important"!
Ouch!
Ryoko. Could you share the textbook with me?
Hey. You're going on a search again, right?
Let's hurry up and get it over with.
What's wrong?
Where are your shoes?
Unknown.
But you had them on this morning?
I had them on.
So they were stolen...
Three incidents in a row, then there's no doubt.
Don't worry too much. You're not alone.
You're all right.
The Researcher has received special training and adjustment to execute the mission alone.
All right, I got you.
Just don't push yourself.
If there's anything you need, you come talk to me, okay?
Yes.
There is something I want to talk to you about.
Oh yeah? What is it?
The Researcher is in need of a medium for a magic ritual.
Would Ichiro be willing to provide it?
Even in this situation, you wanna stick with your story...
Fine. Whatever I can do to help.
What do you need?
Hair from your lower body.
I will try my hardest to find a way to kill you without using violence.
That murder announcement was recorded by the holder of plenary powers.
It can be used as physical evidence.
Huh. Whatever.
But what do we do about your shoes?
Wait here. I'll go buy them for you.
How much do you have?
My fund.
Don't bring so much money! Someone will steal it!
I'll go with you.
Why's that?
To search inside the store.
No, no. You'll never find them there. Besides, your feet will get dirty.
I really don't want to see that.
Whoa!
This way they won't get dirty.
You expect me to walk like this?!
In a situation like this, the best practice is to wear cheap shoes to school.
It doesn't hurt to have some pairs ready, just in case.
Are you listening?
Ichiro...
You're too unguarded...

I'm not protecting your lives.

This is a problem. We should bring it up as a topic in the class discussion.
Well, I don't know about that.
You're not being very sincere. These scribbles are so heartless.
We shouldn't let it go.
Maybe you two don't know what it's like,
but when you become the topic of a class discussion,
It's really tough.
E-either way, we should erase it.
You'll need paint thinner to erase it.
Paint thinner? Then I'll go and borrow it from the art room.
Unbelievable.
I know!
Hm...
Hey! Sato!
Ryoko...
Why are you... suffering like a normal person?
What are you doing?
W-w-why? Aren't you at work?
At the hair salon?
I'm on break.
A-are you going to take a shower?!
Hmm?
Oh boy...
GOLDFISH FOOD
At first I was gonna take her to the nurse's office,
but Ryoko didn't want to go there.
I wanted to take her home, but I didn't know where she lived.
And the only place that I could go to clean the mess was here...
You, little brat there. What are you to my brother?
What are you, trying to pick a fight?
P-please forgive her.
I don't wanna say this to you,
but just don't do anything to embarrass your family.
Yes, I know.
You. I'll forgive you just this once...
But you gotta break up with Ichiro. Now get out.
Huh? Well, ahm...
What?
Hey, wait.
Let her go!
You get involved with someone like that, then you'll end up repeating...
Yes... I know.
But I have to follow her.
I've been ordered to take care of her.
Hey!
STOP
BUSY STREET
I was bullied in junior high school.
My sister and parents act that way with me because of that.
They're worried that the past will be repeated...
I think they're really worried.
Let's go.
Go where?
To the other side.
Right, like I'm able to go to the other side of the world?
If you're the same as me, then I can take you.
This world no longer has any value.
Let's go.
Hey. If you collect all the nails...
I mean, the Dragon Terminals...
...and let's say you decide to go back,
then if I... still...
It seems that you're not in perfect condition, so I'm going to go home.
Okay.
Bye then.
I get that you can't fight it.
But you should at least shake it off.
Ichiro.
Hmm?
I appreciate it.
Hey Sato. Do you know what you did to me?
You know you started it.
Shut up! It's none of your business!
But it is.
Dorisen told me to look after Ryoko.
So I can't just let it pass, can I?
I mean, I can report what you did to her, you know?
You wanna get suspended? Do you enjoy staying home?
Brat.
You get on my nerves.
I get on yours. If you're gonna ignore us, do it all the way.
If you try something funny again, you'll pay for it.
Jeez.
What's wrong? Did something happen to Ryoko-chan?
No, nothing.
Is it lunch time?
Can you wait for a bit? I'm gonna wash my hands.
Hmm?
Hyurei. Thy ordeal is not only for thyself.
Never ever forget that fact-
Wait, Sato. I can't allow you to fight alone.
Now that things have come to this, we must join-
Don't say things you can't even do.
Speak not with rudeness! I, myself, can fight.
Definitely this time-
Move out of my way...
I'm not on that side.
Well, see you later then!
Sato.
Come with me for a sec.
Listen, Sato. You know why you were brought here?
How could I know?
Well, today,
we have something we want you to see.
You saw it? So you know now?
That... how did you...?
I asked my friend to find someone from your junior high school.
And I heard all the details.
We even found someone who had pictures.
This is something, isn't it?
Do you think some of your friends might even leave you if they see this?
Like Kobato...
Just don't interfere with our business.
Got that?
If it's about anything other than Ryoko,
I don't care what happens to me.
Are you stupid or something?
I'm telling you not to help her with anything.
From now on, there'll be no double Sato talking to each other.
Don't try to rescue her.
Do you hate Ryoko... that much?
Ryoko Sato is just getting what she deserves. You're wrong for standing up for her.
That cosplaying... Who gave her permission?
That's simply against the school rules.
You think if we smoke, we won't get in trouble?
Hell no. It's ridiculous.
Huh.
So, just butt out.
Got that?
Koga-kun?
That thing Sato had on... That's unbelievable, isn't it?
Ichiro. I want to go for a search today.
I can't go. I have something else to do.
Significant breach of contract is observed.
I can't do it.
But if we don't find and secure the Dragon Terminals,
the world could be exposed to an unprecedented crisis.
Sorry.
I'm sorry, but I can't spend time with you...
Even if you come to me to talk,
I can't give you a decent response at school.
You promised to search.
I promised I'd help. But by myself.
I will do my own search, and you'll do yours.
Ichiro is being mean.
I am.
If it really becomes tough to the point where you can't take it anymore...
then you must ditch that costume and put on your school uniform.
That will decrease my defense power.
Besides, the Researcher is under concealment
and the people in the Phenomenal World cannot visually recognize me,
so I believe that there's no need to put on the uniform.
Why are you like that?
Why can't you work hard to protect yourself?
Is it so important to scream out that you're different from regular people?!
Enough with that already!
Because I've realized that it's embarrassing...
Because I became aware of it...
So I can never go back to that place!!
You... and those Dream Soldiers...
are just a bunch of childish show-offs.
The truth is that you want everyone's attention,
but you can't get it,
so you're trying to make an easy change to make yourself seem special...
You hate being normal so much?
Are you so dissatisfied being an average citizen?
If you want the spotlight,
then why don't you work hard to be presentable to people?
Take more time!
Don't skip all that, and ask for a good result.
I hate that...
No wonder you guys get picked on...
You're being oppressive...
Why don't you just let me help you without any second thoughts?
Why don't you?
Here.
Thanks.

Oh?
The Deadly Dwelling
Legend of the Dragon Nail
It appears to have a golden power that will make any wish come true.
This is an urban myth.
Ichiro! Dinner's ready!
If the Dragon Nail gets damaged or breaks, take it to
the shrine pictured below. Place it there, and it will be returned to the heavens
It really was here...
Hey you.
You're still wearing that watch.
That makes me happy.
Oh, yes...
I'm sorry for your girlfriend, but I must collect this one.
Collect?
I'm in charge of maintenance of this charm.
If they're dirty or rusted, then they won't be so mysterious, don't you think?
Maintenance for the charm... That's something I don't hear often.
A few years ago, I came across the rumor of this nail on the internet by accident.
I started doing it since then.
No one asked me to do it. It's sort of like a hobby.
So who started it?
I don't know. But that's how it goes with urban myths, right?
True.
So I take it you're interested in this type of thing?
No. I'm not interested. Or more like...
I don't like it. I hate it.
Oh yeah?
You hate it, huh?
Why is that?
A long time ago, I had a friend,
a stupid friend.
He believed that he was a chosen warrior from another world,
and had made up this big story about
how his real parents were killed by the Holy Dragon Astaroy.
That's pretty cool.
He usually poses as a modern citizen, but that's just a temporary identity.
His so-called parents in this world are fake ones.
The bond between him and them is only superficial.
One day, he decided to tell that story to his beloved Princess Erina,
whom he left behind in another world.
So he wrote a letter to her.
And I... he... he put that letter in the mailbox.
You mean the one in this real world?
It was addressed to a place in another world which doesn't exist.
So of course the letter came back.
Then my parents read it...
Both my father and mother "disciplined" me.
It's all my fault... I destroyed everything.
The bond with my family, my school life...
So l-
Wanted to be normal?
Thank you very much!
I see. I can't give you this, but I'll tell you something in return.

What am I doing?
How are you? You didn't have an injury or anything did you?
I was worried about you.
Why didn't you come to school? Were you sick?
Oh!
You...
Ichiro. Upon careful examination of that article you led me to,
the generating method for the Dragon Terminals was identified.
The holder of plenary powers anticipates that this discovery will bring
the Central Integration Agency a great deal of profit.
Therefore, the Researcher is considering temporarily freezing all missions
in order to return home immediately.
I see...
The temple was already being built in secret.
The structure is already finished.
I can't help you.
I won't help you anymore.
Not with your research or building the temple.
What was needed to build the temple was
a properly placed, unique vibration sound.
I-Ichiro-kun?
To calculate the placement in this world,
a kind of numerology called Gematria is used.
No residential quarter will be required,
so the construction doesn't need to follow safety protocols.
It can even be a falsified quake-resistant building.
Ichiro. I understand.
W-what?
I should have been more sensitive. Apologies.
A little too late for that, but I don't need your apology.
The Researcher does grasp the value system of the people in the Phenomenal World a little.
Huh? What?
This is all yours, Ichiro. So... maybe you can help again.
Are you... serious?
Procuring the currency is no problem. Although it's not unlimited-
Wait. That's your parents' money, isn't it?
The Researcher does not have parents.
Stop. Don't say that, even as a joke.
It's a fact. No family exists in this world.
There are provisional parents, but they're just mimics.
Besides, the whole concept of family for the citizens in the Phenomenal World is-
Are you stupid?
Get out...
And never talk to me again.
What that means is...
W-why? What happened?
Hmm?

Hey, what's that?
Wow. That's huge!
What's... that...?!
It's off-limits! Stand back!
Hmm? Ichiro-kun!
Kobato-san. What's this?
This is serious! Ryoko-chan barricaded herself on the rooftop!
What?
Sato. You're back.
Sensei. Is it true? Ryoko is on the rooftop?
Yes. It should've been locked but...
Somehow she got through.
Did you call the police?
If the police get involved,
she won't be able to come to school ever again.
Seriously? Oh!
Ryoko!
The temple is complete.
People down there... they're making a big deal about this...
Nothing to do with me. It's not my concern.
Wait there. I'm coming over!
This... Is this your ideal world?!
Why... did you do this?
Stay back!
If you won't join me in the return...
Stay back.
What? Why are you running away?
Ichiro, you have become a person on that side.
That's right.
I'm on this side.
You knew that from the beginning, didn't you?
No... You were different.
You were hiding another Ichiro.
And I could see that...
That's why...
I wanted to go home with you. And show you.
Show me... what?
My world...
There's no such place! You know that yourself!
To perform a ritual to return home... That's what you built this temple for?
This is really impressive. I admit that.
But... But...
If you can't make it home...
What if even after the ritual, this mundane reality continues?
Can you... live with that?
There will be no reality after the ritual.
What are you saying?
You... You... want to die?
Not die.
In order to return home,
the differences between here and there must be convened.
To initiate the ritual,
free fall is the best method.
Do you believe that? That nonsense?
For real?
Forget going home! What's wrong with staying on this side?!
Same goes for you, Ichiro. You really think this world is fun?
That's...
That's right.
I am the kind of person that can't fit in with the ordinary high school life.
But as you can see, I'm really trying hard here!
I can't try hard!
Why not?
Because they're small-minded.
Who is?
The world is.
You never showed me once...
I thought you had the same thing I have.
There's no warrior inside Ichiro anymore.
If that's the case, then I... I...
I realized that I had no choice but to go home alone.
Ateh, Malkuth, Ve-Geburah...
Initiate return preparation...
Going home... To the world that is ideal.
I'm not wrong... Absolutely not wrong.
Ichiro absolutely belongs on this side.
Why...
I'm going home... Going home... Going home...
Ryoko, wait here for just a little while!
I'll be right back!
Five minutes! Okay? Wait here for five minutes!
Ryoko... You're right.
The world is small-minded.
We're all competing against each other to be small-minded.
Because if we're not, it's too scary.
By placing ourselves inside a box, we're trying to find peace of mind.
Because if you stick out, people will call you gross.
But what I... No, what we... really want is...
to have gods, magic, monsters, mysteries, miracles,
myths, and the apocalypse to enhance our lives.
We don't wanna go to karaoke if we don't like it,
or suck up to people we don't get along with!
But there's nothing we can do if we wanna lead a regular life.
As long as I think that way, whatever I tell Ryoko now
isn't going change her mind.
But there's just one way to deliver my words to Ryoko's mind.
So just one more time,
One last time... I can try fighting.
Oh!
What?
Oh... The true power...
Hyurei shows his true power!
What a surprise... So this is his final form!
You look cool! Go for it!
I'll take full responsibility.
Sato, give it all you've got!
Understood!
Special Move!
The secret sword "Nanashiki"!
Ryooookoooo!
You're lonely, aren't you?!
Whoa! Aaah!
Listen, Ryoko!
I'm the most powerful warrior from another world, the Mirror World.
The name is Koga Maryuin!
Even though I have the evil attribute,
I'm putting myself on the side of the Holy Dragon, who is the absolute goodness.
I'm the coolest dark hero!
After I lost my fellow soldiers and family, I continued my solitary journey.
One day, I met Princess Erina of the lost country, and we were drawn to each other...
But my former master Astaroy attacked me, and I lost my life.
But Princess Erina sacrificed her own life for mine,
and sent my soul to this life... to this world, so I'd be reincarnated!
But there was a misjudgment.
Astaroy's army which happened to be around me,
also got reincarnated into this world!
In order to protect this world,
I fought with them.
They were reincarnated as bullies.
I kept fighting for three years, and I survived!
Th-the fight ended...
And now I'm living as an average high schooler.
Oh, Ryoko...
Those Dragon Terminals you are collecting?
They're fragments of Astaroy.
You're not supposed to take them to another world no matter what.
So if you insist on taking them with you,
I must stop you even if it costs me my life!
What's that?
Ryoko. The place you've been wanting to go to?
I tried... to go there, too. A long time ago.
You did?
Yeah. I was a Dream Soldier for three years,
and the entire time, I was bullied.
And that was really hard so I kept fantasizing even more.
In the end, I got in a fight with my family,
and I tried to run away to my own world...
So I know. It's a dead end.
Where are you trying to go?
You can't go anywhere.
But I hate this world.
I get it. It's so silly.
School and stuff... It's really silly.
But...
Think about it.
In this world no magic or monsters exist,
but there are plenty of enemies.
You can fight all you want.
Well, they're all invisible, but still.
No way. I can't fight something like that.
Sure you can.
Because you've been fighting your own invisible enemies up till now.
Heroes and witches can still exist in this world.
So don't go to the dead end.
But then...
What am I supposed to do?
I don't know.
I had to take it one step at a time and start all over.
But you... Maybe you can do something.
I can't. I'll be crushed before that.
If we do it together, no one can crush us.
There. I caught you. Now your Gildiem is broken.
You're awakened from the dream, and you can't go back anymore.
You have no choice but to live and suffer in this world.
Just like me.
It's terrible... the bullying.
I may be a dark hero,
but I can at least provide aftercare.
And I'll take on adventures in this world.
I can't find adventures in this world.
You can. As a starter, I'll take you to a discount shop that's open till 5 in the morning.
That place is really a maze.
I mean, a 50-inch TV and
embarrassing underwear that you wouldn't dare to wear are sold on the same floor.
It wouldn't be strange to find a legendary sacred sword there.
But there's one thing.
Expensive items are stored in glass cases,
so you have to call a clerk to get those items.
It'd be tough for a light magic user.
What's that? That's silly...
You're an idiot.
The ritual... I couldn't finish it.
It's your fault, Ichiro.
Hatano Bread
Instead of saying he committed a crime,
why can't you think of him as someone who succeeded in pulling himself together?!
Aren't you his real parents?
Ichiro?
I thought you hated this kind of thing.
No. I used to like it.
I just can't look at them without feeling self-conscious.
Then why didn't you throw them away?
Well... I'm not sure, but...
Maybe I wanted to be a stronger person.
Hmm...

Tales of the Demon Dragons
That's how I want to be. A better me, no matter how little.
So in order to do that...?
I must fight with the reality, I guess.
Like wearing that swordsman outfit every day.
I'd be dead, if I did that.
"Koga Maryuin: New Enemy."
That's not it.
I'd call it, "The Last War of Koga Maryuin."
"The Last War" isn't a subtitle. It's part of the main title.
I would make it a one-off novel.
Boring.
Oh, hey. You're giving me that attitude again...
Turn around. Look, listen to the rest of the story...
That swordsman. That was cool.
Liar.
sono mama no kimi ga sukidato
“I love you for you”
afureta kotoba no saki de
The words just came spilling out
yukue to hi nagareta sekai
And the sun sinking low in the sky
kokoro no mabuta aketa yokou
Was the first thing I saw when I opened up my heart
itsukaraka kikoeteita
Despair had rang in my ears
zetsubou no oto wo komete
Until then, for what seemed like years
futashika de mabushii itoshiki hohoemi
And in me a love was born for the bright, crooked smile above,
mamoritai sora da
The day I witnessed that sky
mou naitate iinda yo
Go ahead, it's okay to cry
koboredashite shimau
Just let them flow till you're dry
ari no mama kono yowasa wo
Stare weakness in the eye
moushoutte
Till bravery comes again
fumidasu asu he to
Tomorrow's waiting for us
isshou ni yukou
To take the first step
hajimari no saki he to
Start a new life and leave behind this mess
te to tsunagetamama
Hand in hand
Sorry. Ryoko had kept them.
I'm flattered. I am the one who created this charm.
sono mama no kao wo nazotte
I trace your face in the air,
Huh?
You know what I think? There aren't so many wonders in this world.
kokokara mirai wo sagashiteta
As I search for a new beginning
But it's cool that we have people believing in them.
I know what you mean. Because I'm a swordsman myself.
donna koto mo sabishisa ni naru
Sadness is all around us
I, Dorisen, am deeply moved!
asu he to kotae wo motenaimama
And so I continue on, not knowing a thing
The soul that I had sealed away, because I felt that it needed to be, has returned.
I have a confession to make.
To tell you the truth, I, Dorisen, am the Knight of Luminance!
tada soko ni aru yasashisa
It all started with a bit of kindness
You mean, you are a Dream Soldier?
itoshikutte tojita negai
A wish that bound us together
Ichiro-kun! Do you think I have a previous life?
I think there could be one.
yuki nagara futari mo
So we move on,
To tell you the truth, I have a sixth sense.
Well, I have psychometric abilities.
tsuyoku naru futari de
toward days with better weather
I can see how long people's life spans are.
itsuka wa tadoritsukou
One day, we'll see the sun
Wh-what's going on...
sou, bokura no sekai
This world is ours,
koko kara mezameyou
Ours for the taking
nukumori wo shinjitetaiyo
Tell me I'm worth trusting
massugu ni
With a smile bright as dawn
tsuyoku nareru no
I'll be your ace
tayoritai hito ni
Give rise to catharsis
kowareru you ni sotto
The one who gives you that soft embrace
dakishimetetai
Before you fall to pieces
doushiyoumonai kimochi
These feelings, we cannot disown
tada namida afureru hi mo
Sometimes they win and the tears don't stop
furimukanai de yukou
But that shouldn't make your bubble pop
hitori ja nai
You're not alone
mitsumetieiru, iru kara
I'm here, watching
mou naitate iinda yo
Go ahead, it's okay to cry
koboredashite shimau
Just let them flow till you're dry
ari no mama kono yowasa wo
Stare weakness in the eye
moushoutte
Till bravery comes again
fumidasu asu he to
Tomorrow's waiting for us
bokura no sekai
To take the first step into our world
dokomademo, isshouni ne
It could be anywhere, as long as we're together
te wo tsunaide yukou
Hand in hand
Ichiro!
Huh?
Ryoko, is that you?
What do I do, what do I do? Ichiro?
It's okay.
There's nothing strange about you.
I guarantee it.
No, I mean, in this outfit, my defense power goes down to nothing.
I don't think anything has changed...
Ichiro?
Teach me... the normal way.
