BlackWRock Shooter
How much longer do I have to shout?
How much longer do I have to cry?
Stop now, I can't run anymore
The world I dreamed of one day closes to me
On this dark and cracked road, without the faintest light
I felt like I saw the rays of hope
emanating from my past
Why?
Black Rock Shooter, what fond memories
I recall my times of happiness
Black Rock Shooter, but I can't act
I wish upon the stars soaring through the darkness
because I will run one more time
Episode 4
The world in my dreams will someday close upon me
Now then, please introduce yourself.
Izuriha Kagari.
Izuriha Kagari
Er, Izuriha...
Anything else you would like to add?
Um, excuse me.
Um... Kagari isn't a very talkative person.
She's beautiful!
I know, right?
She looks like a model!
She does!
She really does!
Shut it.
Izuriha Kagari
W-Wh—
Cute!
And foul-mouthed!
It's cool!
It is, it is!
Hey, Kagari.
Do you dye your hair?
Shut up, you gaggling nitwit.
"Gaggling nitwit"!
How surprising.
I didn't expect her to mingle with the rest of the class so well.
Yeah, it really caught me off guard.
She suggested coming to school herself, too.
She really came along in leaps and bounds, huh.
It's hard to believe.
What happened, all of a sudden?
Your feelings reached her.
Yeah...
Mato!
Yuu?
Kohacchi came to school.
Really?
Sorry, Yomi, gotta run.
Seems like those two
are always leaving me behind.
It looks a lot worse than it is.
You scared the hell out of me when you fell over all of a sudden.
It surprised me, too.
Only a wimp would pass out from a mere sprained ankle.
You make it sound as if it happened to someone else.
Thank goodness.
Thank goodness you're all right, Kohacchi.
Yep, thank goodness I'm all right.
Unfortunately, I probably won't make it to the prelims.
Mato here is going to pull some magic for us, though.
I sure hope you're right, Kohacchi.
Without you, the team's pretty much useless.
Okay! That means you need extra practice during lunch break!
Kohacchi!
Ah, my ankle's starting to act up.
Cooking club?
Yeah... They make sweets.
Eh? On your own?
Not on her own.
Right, Kagari?
Let's go have a look.
The seniors said they wanted to chat with you.
How do I put it?
I'm feeling somewhat depressed.
We've always been together as far as I can remember.
I thought I had to be there.
I couldn't leave her on her lonesome.
I promised never to run from her.
Turn that frown upside down.
Saya...
Want some coffee?
Yes, please.
It wouldn't be a problem if you weren't there.
All in all, nobody really needs you.
Nobody needs me?
Oh, sorry. My bad, I meant it in a good way.
I just meant you shouldn't worry too much about that kind of stuff.
Hey Saya.
Yo yo, Yuu.
I'll be going.
Oh, I see...
Yomi, I'm sorry.
Turns out we can't go home together.
You'll be with Yuu?
Yuu? Well, yeah.
We're in the same club. Why do you ask?
No reason.
Oh, that one. Baltic Avenue.
Sell it to me.
Nope.
Aw, c'mon! Sell it, sell it, sell—
"No" means no!
All of a sudden, everything's fine and dandy.
You've made friends...
But what about me?
Yomi?
Sorry, I'm a little tired.
Here, Baltic Avenue.
Why didn't you take care of this yesterday?
I was exhausted.
Oh, toast.
Can I eat this on the run?
No, that's bad manners.
Whatever, I'm trying it anyway!
Oi, Mato!
Me too!
Huh?
Kagari!
Good morning!
Eh? Where's Yomi?
Uh, wait a sec...
Take me to school.
Yomi's late...
Ah, good morning!
What happened to you?
Ah, Yomi.
You were already gone when I went to pick you up.
I was worried!
Sorry.
"Sorry"? You think that's gonna cut it?!
Huh? What's got your knickers in a knot?
It's not even a big deal.
Don't worry about her, Kagari.
Yomi... Kagari...
Oh, thanks...
What do you think a good gift would be?
A gift?
Should I offer to sell her Pennsylvania Avenue?
Pennsylvania Avenue?
I always thought I was unable to do anything without Yomi.
But I've started studying again and even made new friends.
It's been great.
But now, I'm completely lost.
When you and I argued the other day,
I realized that she always did everything for me.
I want to return the favor in some way,
but I have no idea how to go about doing things for other people.
Kagari...
What can I... What can I do to help Yomi?
What's this?
It's taken a sudden turn for the grim.
It was shaping up to be really nice, too.
Is that so?
Oh wow.
What the hell is that?
Looks awful.
It wouldn't be a problem if I just wasn't there.
No one needs me.
The world would stay the same if I disappeared.
If you're looking for Kagari, she's already gone home.
I thought you'd want to go back with her, but she left without you.
Probably because you called her out over nothing this morning.
You're just upset she doesn't rely on you anymore.
Yeah. You're just trying to keep her all to yourself.
Something hand-made?
Yeah.
You joined the cooking club, right? Didn't you learn how to bake something today?
Madeleines.
Yeah, go with that.
She'd definitely like that.
She'd like that...
I'm not!
I'm not keeping her to myself...
Taking care of Kagari wasn't exactly easy!
What are you on about?
That's why!
That's why I don't care if she makes friends!
If she does, good for her!
Yomi?
Wait, Yomi!
What's up with her?
Don't worry about her, Kagari.
Yomi, Kagari is here.
I don't want to see her.
Don't be like that. Please come out.
She started attending school again just for you.
I don't care!
In that case, please give this to her.
You came without Yomi again?
I went to pick her up but...
Cutting classes, huh?
Yeah.
Kagari!
Takanashi
Thanks for worrying about me, but there's no need for you to come over.
You look worried.
Well, lately Yomi seems to be under the weather.
Can't you tell me the address of your playful bird?
I'd like to be her friend, too.
Yuu!
You're great! You're such a great person!
Chillax, girl!
Show me your war faces, soldiers!
Do you have a moment?
Nice shot.
I'm really sorry.
Everyone was giving me flak, so I got embarrassed and ended up hurting you.
Truth is, I was really happy.
Because I feel the sa—
Um...
Sorry.
I don't really get what you're on about.
Sorry.
Well, I've got club activities.
Wait! I understand that you don't want to forgive me for what happened.
But I'll change!
I'll tell everyone. So...
Excuse me.
I said I really don't understand.
It's not that I'm unforgiving or angry, I just don't really remember you.
So...
It's Kagari again.
Tell her to go home.
But...
Tell her to go home!
She sent that message, but...
Mato is... If Mato...
It's Yuu.

Mato's friend...?
What?!
Yomi?
Kagari's still waiting.
Kagari...
Kagari needs me.
Kagari... Kagari would miss me if I disappeared!
Kagari!
Yomi.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
No, it's fine.
I'm so sorry.
It's fine.
I'm home!
Ah, I'm drenched!
Piece of junk umbrella broke.
I'm gonna catch a cold.
Café au lait, café au lait... A warm café au lait!
Sweets again?
Yup. Chocolate chip cookies this time.
Thanks, I'm glad.
Really?
Yeah, really glad.
That's good.
I thought I should do something for you...
You know, since you're always doing stuff for me and all.
I wanted to repay you.
If I hadn't, you'd never have moved on.
Huh?
You said you were happy that I was making new friends,
but I think it's a bluff.
Milk... on!
You're only pretending to be strong. How pitiful.
I used to believe that my world began and ended with you.
But now that I think about it, not once did I ever truly need to rely on you.
You've done a lot for me.
At least, I think you did.
I think I liked you.
You liked me?
I don't really know why, though. Sorry.
I'm really sorry, I just don't know.
So, enjoy your cookies
and let's forget about the past.
So that you can set me free.
Perfect.
You want to be somebody else,
but there's no way that could happen
If you feel sorry for yourself
a different side of you hidden deep inside
will tell you what to do
Some things are just the way they are
Everybody has troubles, everybody struggles
We complain
and grumble
and pass the days doing that
We're used to being hurt, but we know
you can't survive on feelings of kindness alone
But one day, we'll want to be who we truly are
and walk down that path as always
