We believe King is targeting the girl for some reason.
We know it'll be difficult to fight Knight or King while protecting her.
We will be dispatching Makai Alchemists as well.
Please meet up with them in San Dell Diós.
I should have listened better.
I should have talked more.
Why do you continue to fight, Sword?
It's a path I chose.
Let's go.
Yeah!
Mom!
Luke.
True strength isn't something you obtain for yourself.
It's something you obtain for others.
He's a serial kidnapper and killer.
On top of that, he always targets children.
So, what about him?
He escaped the city five days ago on bike.
Two days ago, he was sighted by highway patrol
at the 1500 km marker west of the city on route 69.
We chased him, but...
He got away.
The shoot-out ended with one officer dead
and another in critical condition.
The culprit headed further west on route 69.
In other words, he's coming our way.
Yeah. There's a good chance he'll pass through town.
On top of that, he currently has a kidnapped girl with him.
What?!
We'll save the girl if it comes down to it.
Right.
This town never forgives criminals.
The monochromatic empty eyes of sapiens floating within the unreality
Completely peerless flowing blood, controlled and digitized
Just dark world (BOOM)
Glitter world (NO DOUBT)
Can you see?
(BOOING BOOING) Hellacious
Just dark world (BOOM)
Glitter world (NO DOUBT)
I can see!
The timing of the programming
Yea, gotcha!
I want to be eroded away (brain wash)
Up the blast!
Ah, this dying world
Run like you're piercing through it
The rising flames burn everything away
Your resolve and your love
From darkness to the light
San Dell Diós. So this is the place?
I've seen towns like this in movies before.
He's here, Natalia. Where is Alfil?
He should be patrolling the outskirts of town.
No word from him.
What should we do?
It's all right. Please go ahead with the plan.
I'm sorry. If I was a little younger, I'd run over to help.
It's fine. I'm depending on you if the time comes.
Well, we'll have to wait until our escort makes contact with us.
Let's look around town until then.
Huh? Is it okay for us to do that?
You have to keep things in balance, no matter what the task.
And enjoying everything I do is...
Your motto!
Exactly right!
You two.
Are you in the middle of traveling?
Oh, my. What a cute one you are.
Yes, he'll be here soon.
Shit. At a time like this, I'm stranded with a flat tire.
Got it. We'll handle things here.
You can't, Natalia.
It'll be fine. Just get over here as quick as possible.
Don't do anything reckless.
Welcome!
Hello.
We were just recommended by an old lady to come here.
That this was the place to be!
Aw, that makes me so happy.
What items do you suggest?
Well, let's see...
How is it?
No sign of any Horrors here.
I see.
My respects.
Huh?
H-Huh?
It's a disease he has.
What are you talking about?
I'm thanking the blessings from heaven.
Stop it. That's embarrassing.
Just give up being a human.
No way.
Ma'am.
Can you make something for us to eat using local ingredients?
Y-Yes.
That's fine, but no complaints on what's served to you.
Looks like things are going smoothly for now.
Shouldn't we eliminate the Golden Knight here?
That's not for you to decide.
I just want to finish things up and hurry home.
What does King of El Dorado want that girl for?
Also none of your business.
Listen, the objective takes top priority.
We need to avoid contact with him as much as possible.
Use the humans that he can't lay a hand on until the very end.
As you wish.
Hey! Give this table the special!
Okay!
Our treat.
Huh? You sure?
Yeah. We don't get the chance to talk to outsiders too much.
There aren't many that come through here.
Then, we'll take you up on that.
Thank you.
Is the lack of visitors because of the lack of safety?
Yes, until recently.
The government and the police abandoned the area west of here.
The people from there would come here to steal, destroy, and murder.
It was really terrible.
Why did you stay here, after all that?
Yes. After all, this is the town we were born in.
Here you go! Thanks for waiting!
Stop that!
Don't hold back and eat up!
Enjoy!
You mentioned that was only until recently.
Are things different now?
Yes. We decided to protect ourselves and this town, ourselves.
With everything that happened, we reached our limit.
But we couldn't depend on the police.
So we made our own vigilante group.
Vigilante group?
We made our own police system together.
This town will not forgive criminals ever again.
Someone has to punish them.
Wow, Miss Natalia and the others are amazing!
Huh? Y-Yeah.
We also have a sheriff named Alfil now.
Alfil?
Was it two years ago now?
He was so young, but he worked hard to protect this town.
He taught us everything from how to shoot a gun to the art of self-defense.
He even gave us advice when we were created our vigilante group.
Since then, the crime clearance rate here has shot up!
So cool! They're like heroes!
Yeah. That's impressive!
Well, in other words.
People don't come by this town even though it's safe.
Simply because there really isn't anything to do around here!
Hey, now!
Should we go soon?
Yeah. I'm going to the restroom.
I'll show you where it is.
Thanks!
Huh?
This way.
Huh? Where are we going?
There's no need to worry anymore.
Take care of the rest.
Leave it to me.
Now, get in.
Huh? Why?
Don't worry. Hurry.
Sword!
Hey. Hey. What's the big—
Don't move! We won't let you do what you want any longer!
He's gone.
No! Let me go!
Please calm down!
Natalia. Hurry!
Sophie!
Sword!
There he is!
Sophie!
It can't be helped. Get in with her.
Sophie!
Let me out! Let me out of here!
Listen to me.
We're not like that man!
I don't get what you're saying! Just let me out!
Sophie!
We're trying to take you back home!
Huh?
He's gone.
Shit!
You looking properly?!
Jeez...
Where did he go?!
Th-The hell is this?!
There he is! Don't let the kidnapper leave town!
Kidnapper? What in the world is going on?
Miss Natalia, you've got it wrong!
Sword isn't that kind of person and I wasn't kidnapped.
Sophie...
Stockholm syndrome.
Huh? What's that?
In some kidnappings or hostage situations
the victim feels like the criminal is an ally after spending time with them.
Huh?
So that's why you seemed so close with him!
I'm telling you that you're wrong!
Stop! That's dangerous!
Let me go! Stop this car!
I don't have whatever-syndrome!
Calm down!
Natalia, sedate her.
But...
She won't listen until we calm her down once.
Hand it over.
Wait, Miss Natalia!
Hey, stop.
No! Stop! Noo! Stop it!
Hey, Sophie!
That's dangerous. Let go!
Hey! I haven't done anything!
Huh?
Are you just planning to run the whole time?!
They're humans. It can't be helped!
Old lady! It's dangerous so get back inside the house!
Are you freaking kidding me?!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dammit. Hang in there, Sophie!
Do you really have time to worry about others?
Shut up!
They're really not Horrors, right?
Definitely humans.
This barrier.
No way?! Huh?!
You look good.
Sword.
Gina!
Why are you here?
What do you mean?
I was told to escort you two and what do I find when I get here?
You're in a mess like this.
Just what did you do?
No idea.
We won't hurt you! Please believe me!
You're wrong, Miss Natalia.
That man is lying to you.
I told you! This person helped our town!
Then, let me confirm.
What do you plan to do?
I'm not going to do anything.
I'm just going to wait for Sword.
Sophie, that man is already...
He'll come!
Sword will definitely come!
Alfil, something is wrong.
Sophie doesn't look like she's lost her mind.
Alfil?
Looks like this is as far as we can go.
We can't deceive them any further.
I'm sorry.
Wh-What? What's going on?
What shall I do?
The situation has changed. I don't care if you're a little rough.
I knew he was a Horror!
Alfil!
Miss Natalia!
Don't come any closer!
I won't hurt you as long as you don't resist.
My master, the King of El Dorado, summons you.
Step back! I'll kill myself if you do anything!
So that's how you want to play it.
What a fierce little thing she is.
Sophie! Sophie!
Are you okay?!
Get a hold of yourself, Sophie!
Sophie!
Sorry about that.
You had such a scary experience.
It's okay now.
Sword!
Golden Knight.
Take care of Miss Natalia.
Yeah.
As I thought.
I should have eliminated you from the beginning.
No good. You're definitely dead.
Miss Natalia!
Sophie.
Wh-What is that?!
It's okay. Just leave everything to Sword!
Zaruba!
As expected of the Golden Knight.
Nice to meet you. I am Bishop.
Will you come with me to my master, King of El Dorado, princess?
Gina!
That town was a pretty good feeding ground.
Feeding ground?
I see. That sheriff was already a Horror when he came to town.
It seems he's different from the regular small fry we deal with.
Sorry. I don't plan on fighting with you directly.
Hurry up and die, Golden Knight.
The town is gone...
That bastard even used the town itself.
Yes. I did as you asked.
As long as the people are safe, they'll be able to rebuild.
Safe?
What do you mean?
I locked them all up because he said it'd be trouble if they chased us.
I wonder if they'll all believe Natalia.
They're such a cohesive group. You shouldn't be worried.
You're right.
Even so, another troublesome one popped up this time.
He called himself Bishop.
Bishop, huh?
It's okay. Gina is here, too.
I guess I'll need to live up to those expectations.
Let's go.
Well, you did well this time.
Yeah!
When I close my eyes I feel gentle arms around me
Warmth and memory
SIGHT I can feel it now
Without even saying goodbye
We've chosen different paths without realizing it
Forced forward at the mercy of fate
When I'm sad
I keep thinking of your sweet smile as I look up at the sky
I want to protect you
I will become strong and keep walking
That's how I will live for another
