Seiji is now in his second year at high school. I wish I could celebrate.
It was love at first sight. And Seiji-sama smiled back to me when our eyes met.
Isn't it beautiful?
So Seiji-san, please come out.
Leave it all to your big sister.
Do you want Seiji to like you?
I love you, Celty.

On another call, huh?
If Heiwajima Shizuo really did get framed, the one to benefit would be
his arch-rival, Orihara Izaya.
It wouldn't be a stretch for that one to be linked to those Russians.
Oh, well... For now, I'll just leave him at large.
But give a little punk an inch, and who knows what stunts he'll pull.
If he starts making trouble, my only option will be to bury him fast, I guess.
Orihara Izaya... has it hit you?
You and I might have been underestimating Mikado-senpai all along.
It could be that Senpai is more than you and I think...
He might be something way more enigmatic.
Has it hit you, Orihara Izaya?
Oh, I forgot something. My name is Yodogiri Jinnai.
I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.
Come to think of it, does Yodogiri Jinnai have anything to do with the Awakusu-kai?
You mean that talent agency CEO who went missing the other day?
Now that you mention it, he might or he might not...
Why?
Well, because Shiki-san just asked me to let him know if I ever spotted him.
Oh, I wonder if it has to do with the Hijiribe Ruri-chan case?
This is bad...
First off... let me contact Namie-san...
Life is but a Dream
Here's our next story. Last night at around 9 pm
in a shopping arcade near Sendai Station,
a man was stabbed by an unknown assailant, sustaining grave injuries.
The injured man is Orihara Izaya-san of Tokyo.
There was quite a crowd at the scene of last night's crime,
Random Stabbing Victim, Orihara Izaya (24)
and several passersby witnessed Orihara-san suddenly collapse on the street of the arcade,
with blood gushing from his wounds.
Really? So he got himself stabbed.
The ambulance that arrived after a 119 call conveyed him to a local hospital.
This can't be good for him.
Orihara-san sustained a stab wound to his stomach area from what is believed to be a knife,
If everyone with a grudge against him sees this news,
they're all going to make a beeline for the Tohoku area...
and the police are investigating this as a random attack.
At this time, they're waiting for Orihara-san to recover so that they can question him about the incident.
Either way... it's safe to assume that he'll be out for a while.
And now here's our next story.
In Higashiyamamura, a city abuzz...
Seiji...
Good morning, Seiji!
Morning, Mika.
Where should we go today? I'll go anywhere you want to, Seiji.
Right, then want to go to a movie?
And the instant he put his hand on her shoulder,
Harima-senpai totally glommed onto Yagiri-senpai's shoulder!
"Hey, hey, I can't walk like this."
But from the look on his face, he didn't really seem to mind!
They were lovey-dovey.
Namie-san?
Don't mind me. Just keep talking.
So, after that they went into the Metropolitan movie theater,
and as we speak, they're watching Vampire Ninja Carmilla Saizo: Beginnings!
Oh, but I guess it's almost over now?
Ten more minutes.
I see. Well, I thank you for all the surveillance and reporting you've done till today.
Here's the fee I promised you.
Yagiri Namie
Destroy the card once you've emptied it.
As I promised, there's 300,000 yen on it.
Are you sure you want us to have this much?
Naturally. Do you have any questions or concerns?
Well, but all this money just for keeping tabs on your younger brother, and reporting to you...
Don't be silly. The act of gaining knowledge on Seiji is far too valuable to put a price on.
I came up with that amount by calculating the time you've spent reporting to me,
and converting that to the hourly rate I receive from Orihara Izaya, that's all.
You have nothing to be concerned about.
Iza-nii's sure paying her a high hourly rate!
We might not have known what the going rate was.
By the way, have you two heard anything?
Oh, you mean about Iza-nii getting stabbed by someone?
This morning the police called...
I think they called us because both our parents are working overseas right now.
When I told them, "Oh, put a little saliva on it and he'll be fine!"
they got mad at me... "You shouldn't say things like that about family!"
Their blood relative got stabbed, yet they show no sign of despair or anxiety...
Of course they did.
In their eyes, their brother must not be very important to them.
There's one thing I'd like to confirm.
What is it?
What does Seiji usually call that woman?
Um... He just goes, "Mika" without any honorifics.
I asked some other senpais, and they told me that since they've been dating for a year,
they decided to address each other like that...
N-Namie-san?
What's wrong?
Not even I...
What?
Not even I have ever heard Seiji call me by my name without honorifics...
How'd you like it?
I was so excited! Because I got to be next to you the whole time!
I wasn't asking you how you felt about that, actually.
What did you think about Saizo's time paradox?
Well, let's see.
Since it didn't seem like the future had changed all that much,
that probably wasn't the real past,
but a parallel universe where the timeline was a bit off...
What did you think, Seiji?
Yeah... I think that sounds about right, too.
Really? I'm so happy!
I always remember it whenever I see monsters or vampires.
You're talking about the head, right?
It's been over six months since my sister went missing...
I do think my sister would know where it is.
So you are worried about your sister?
How so?
Well, I'm sure all kinds of people are pursuing her...
She might even be in danger...
My sister isn't such a wimp. Not only is she tough, but she's evil, too.
Ryuugamine?
Is that you, Ryuugamine?
Oh, hey, Yagiri-kun, Harima-san.
Out on another date today?
Yeah... What happened to your face?
Oh, right, I just...
I took a tumble down the stairs.
Is that right? Better watch out.
Thanks.
Anyway, it's been a whole year since that day, huh?
Oh, right, I really am sorry about that.
I didn't do anything.
That's something the Dollars all did together.
Right.
Both you and Harima-san are members of the Dollars now, too,
so don't give it a second thought.
I can't forget about that night, either...
Well, see you. If either of you are ever in trouble, come to me anytime.
Yeah... We will.
Ryuugamine-kun?
You shouldn't make Anri-chan cry.
Okay, see you at school!
Uh, yeah. See you.
Didn't he seem kind of off to you?
That was a nasty cut on his face,
and I couldn't believe he brought up the Dollars himself.
What do you mean?
I don't know the details, but I think it means something special to him.
But still, there's no point in us worrying about it!
Hey, I'm hungry. Let's get going!
Seiji...
Oh... how can that boy be so adorable even from behind?
While on the other hand, that little thief...
Harima Mika...
Hello?
Is that Dr. Kishitani? It's been a long time.
Russia Sushi
Okay,
here's your crab sushi!
It's good raw, it's good boiled, it's good fried!
Good people, good town, and good taste, too!
They say crab makes the world go round!
Isn't the word you're looking for "money?"
Hey, you shouldn't be obsessed with money at such a young age.
But yeah, you're right, if you make crab go round, the money will go round, too!
Round and round, like a merry-go-round! Like a sushi-go-round! Now that's a sweet deal!
Hey, Simon-san, who's that?
Master Yagiri, is that girl your type?
Her name is Varona, okay?
You can get her to go, Master!
Girlfriend, lover - it'll be like double-dipping!
Refuted. I'm under no obligation to sell my body to improve your shop's bottom line.
I call for a boycott.
Oh, so this a Japanese sexual harassment suit, huh?
Sexual harassment is a no-no, sexual harassers should commit harakiri!
That's not cool, Seiji, eyeing other women!
Normally you wouldn't mind. You'd be like, "I'm hotter than her, so no big deal!"
Would I? That's not true!
But...
Mika, you have a call! Mika, you have a call!
Doesn't that ringtone creep you out?
Not really, no!
Blocked
Hello?
There's something I'd like to discuss with you privately.
I don't want Seiji to hear about it... do you mind?
Okay, sure. Hold on a second.
Sorry, Seiji.
A friend needs to talk to me about something, and I have to go see her now.
A friend? Is it Sonohara?
That's right,
she says she needs my advice.
Well, you should go to her.
All right, see you tomorrow!
Hello?
That was well-played. To think that you'd lie to Seiji...
What about you? You altered my face to deceive your own kid brother, remember?
It's not as if I lied to him. All I did was love him.
Huh?
That head... I'm willing to give it to you.
But first, I want to speak with you alone.
Do you really think I'd believe that?
Well, but I'm at a loss here, too.
Yagiri Pharmaceuticals - 3rd Warehouse
If I hand the head over to a company overseas,
they're offering to protect me from the police and from Yagiri Pharmaceuticals.
But I'd like that to be my last resort.
Still, if I give Seiji the head, I'll lose Seiji to it.
That's the one thing I want to avoid.
If you and I share any common interests, that would be it, wouldn't it?
And so I wanted to consult you today on what to do with the head.
Without letting Seiji know.
Jeez, I know it's a good thing that they don't always die, but...
Can't you like, threaten them by bending a coin in their face or something?
Or would that be too peaceful for you?
Sorry. If only I were a better worker...
No, no, you're doing great.
That dumbass just now... now that's a totally different story.
And hey, I feel bad for making you come with me on these dangerous jobs, you know.
Thank you very much.
It's a little early, but why don't we stop for lunch?
For once, let's splurge on a big meal at Russia Sushi!
Hello?
I've been waiting... No, I've kept you waiting...
Harima Mika-san.
I really do apologize, you know,
for making you dream that long, long, impossible dream...
Long time no see, Sis...
It's been a year since you vanished from Seiji's sight.
During that time, we were both dreaming.
A nightmare for me, and an ephemeral dream of life's vicissitudes for you.
I wonder if an uneducated person like yourself even understands a phrase like "life's vicissitudes?"
Forcing your delusions onto the unwilling Seiji,
picking the lock on his door and sneaking inside.
No one with even a modicum of education could do such a thing.
Not very convincing, coming from someone who used me and made me get plastic surgery.
But you know, I am grateful to you, Sis.
Because thanks to your giving me this face,
Seiji and I can now be together!
Who do you think you are?
Kindly refrain from calling me your sister...
Who do you think you are...
Don't speak of Seiji in that familiar way!
What is that?
What is it? Isn't it obvious?
Oh, yes, it's obvious.
What I'm asking is why you would carry such a thing around on your person.
Because if I really do get my hands on that head,
I'm going to need one, right? A spade.
Just going by size, I thought a watermelon might be close,
so I've been trying out lots of things!
Like stuffing one with meat of varying degrees of toughness.
I used all kinds of things to experiment!
What are you talking about?
If it's about this big, then I thought I would need a spade about this big.
Not that I have any idea what a Dullahan's head tastes like.
She's going to eat that head and become one with it...
If Seiji can only love that head, then merely eliminating the head won't be enough.
If she does that, the head will live on forever inside him!
In that case, the only option is to become the head herself.
I'm changing my perception on you.
I thought you were merely an unwanted interloper...
But as of this moment,
you can be my rival!
I'm an amateur when it comes to plastic surgery.
So I'm sure you're in for a considerable amount of pain!
Oh, yes, right! It has been a long time, hasn't it?
Who knew that you were still alive?
I'd like to arrange for an emergency operation today.
Would you be so kind as to come to Warehouse 3 at Yagiri?
Since Nebula hasn't started clearing that one yet, you'll have no trouble getting in.
Oh, my. Did you get shot by somebody?
I just want you to perform the same surgery as before.
I'd like you to recreate the face of one woman.
Since you operated on the same girl before, it would be a breeze, wouldn't it?
Oh... Well, about that, I'm not going to pry, but will tomorrow night work for you?
What? You can't do it today?
Today's my day off, and I'm not in Tokyo.
I see... How unlucky for her, then.
What a surprise!
And here I thought you'd be coming to kill me, no questions asked!
Please don't move.
You have a much better figure than I thought, Sis.
Not bad. I didn't think you had an athletic bone in your body.
So, tell me about it. The location of the head...
You will tell me, won't...
Huh? Why am I...
This isn't going to kill you, so don't worry.
By the way, how far have you gone with Seiji?
Don't make me say such embarrassing things.
Have you at least kissed, I wonder?
That face of yours...
I can't allow the sensation of kissing Seiji to remain on it!
Not enough to kill you, but it'll scorch your face hideously.
Perfect medicine for you, wouldn't you say?
Show me more terror.
I was looking forward to seeing that face contort in fear.
Is there anything you'd like to say before that face is gone?
"A dream about life's vicissitudes" means the rise and fall of one's fortunes.
Are you sure you want those to be your last words?
Kanra is Orihara Izaya.
Tanaka Taro is Ryuugamine-kun. Setton is Celty-san.
Saika is Anri-chan, Bakyura is Kida-kun, San and Kyo are Mairu and Kururi.
When Orihara Izaya and you, Sis...
When you deceive people, you use the chat name Nakura...
Wait...
Ryuugamine-kun is the founder of the Dollars.
Anri-chan is possessed by a demon sword named Saika.
Kida-kun is the leader of the Yellow Scarves.
But... I'm just guessing here...
None of the three know that about each other.
It was Varona and Sloan who tried to hurt Anri-chan...
At Orihara Izaya's request.
Sloan was more deeply involved with Orihara Izaya than Varona...
That's why, when Izaya found out about the nature of his work for the Awakusu-kai,
he tried to trap Heiwajima Shizuo.
And then last night, somebody stabbed him, and he's in the hospital.
How do you know all that?
Oh, please... the way I find out everything.
Listening devices are so cheap today, and they're really, really tiny.
I have all this other information, too...
The fact that you and Izaya-san have connections to the Asuki
as well as the Awakusu-kai, for instance...
Why would you... For what reason...?
Because if Seiji ever found out about Ryuugamine-kun and the other's secret activities,
he would try to get involved for sure, to pay Ryuugamine-kun back.
That's why he can never know. Because at heart, he's a very kind-hearted person...
That's why I've been digging, digging, digging everything I could on the people around Seiji.
So he won't get dragged into something dangerous.
Now I know what it is you're feeling.
That you're more competent than I imagined, and that you're more abnormal than I imagined!
That's enough, Sis.
Seiji!
Seiji?
Seiji... Oh, Seiji!
Hey, Sis... come on, that hurts!
Are you all right, Mika?
Yes...
I don't know what happened between you,
but you do realize that this is going too far, Sis?
How did you find this place?
On my way home, I ran into Sonohara.
And when I asked her about it,
she told me she never called Mika.
Mika's phone kept going straight to voicemail, and when I called every single person I knew...
Oh, if you're looking for her,
she's probably in Warehouse 3 at Yagiri!
Listen, I'm kind of busy right now, so I'm hanging up, okay?
That four-eyed pervert!
See? You don't like it if someone who's not your boyfriend does this to you, right?
Hey! Sis, wait! Where's that head..?
I missed my chance to ask her.
She probably doesn't know anymore.
You think? So I guess that Orihara Izaya you mentioned just now has it?
I've sneaked into all three of Orihara Izaya's apartments and searched them,
but there was no head anywhere.
I see. Then I guess it can't be helped.
Also, I don't think you should sneak into people's houses.
Can you stand?
What would you have done if you'd found the head before me?
Eaten it.
If I became one with the head, you'd fall in love with me, wouldn't you?
I don't think I would.
Why not?
Because I'd stop you for sure.
Even if you had to kill me?
Yeah.
Just as I thought!
Seiji...
You really have no clue about women, Seiji.
I know that you're in love with the real head,
but that's all the more reason why you shouldn't kiss your sister!
But I didn't.
I kept my finger between our lips, like this.
So we didn't kiss.
Well, that's pretty bad, too.
You think so?
There's no rhyme or reason to this kind of thing!
Next time on Durarara!!x2 (The Second Arc) Marriages are Made in Heaven
That man has a scar. That man has a past.
There's something that man must honor.
And... There's a red light deep inside that mans' right eye.
