Go run through, just as your heart guides you
To the place of freedom which isn't shown on a map
In the town where a faint darkness settles
A crowd of people who hide their true faces
I struggled those days, but could not protect your smile
Soar above the sadness by piercing through
Shout out your passion
And take the pain along with you
To the future where you will meet your unknown self
Get out.
Well, it seems like he was just a simple bystander...
so I don't see any problem with releasing him.
I'm truly sorry.
Yes, we're very sorry for any inconvenience he caused.
Detective, this isn't much, but we hope you accept this.
Well, you shouldn't really do this.
Where's my Aibar machine?
Of course, it will be confiscated.
We cannot allow an individual to have such a dangerous machine without a permit.
Aibar machine?
It seems the old man from the machine shop built this machine.

Chapter 1
Episode 2
The Beginning of a Long Journey After School
Bocca.
What are you doing during such an important time?
You just came out of the police station this morning, didn't you?
Isn't that bra a bit too see-through?
What?
Stupid!
Four-eyes, you hear things too fast.
I hear a lot of stories at home.
Besides, why were you in a place like that?
What were you doing last night?
It's the melody.
The melody.
Listen! This melody.
Even now I can still hear it playing.
You?
I see. Showing an interest is part of having the ability.
What is this? That Kurofune person also had one.
You kept visiting here because you had an interest in warriors.
Maybe I built this machine for you.
Come.
This is what you were building?
Is this an Aibar machine, too?!
Grab the handles.
Grab them!
Authentication complete. Please enter a name.
While holding on to the handles, give the machine a name.
What kind of name?
Anything you want.
What did you call it when you were building it?
Its development codename was Elanvital.
Your name will be Elanvital.
Roger, my name is Elanvital.
This is great. They'll get what's coming to them.
Machine shop owner! We know you're in there!
Open up!
Bocca, I have to run! Good luck to you.
Old man Tsunagi.
Take good care of it. It's your partner.
But that machine still isn't complete yet, so it can't fly.
Fly?! But it's a bike, right?!
You've also seen the "Melody of Oblivion", right?
If you can see it, then find the place where this phantom girl really is.
If you can find her, humanity may still have a chance.
Soon you will have begin your journey.
To a far, far place.
You.
Come to the station with us.
Don't get involved in anything bad. Tomorrow is your re-test.
All right everyone, hurry up and get in your seats.
Tomorrow, after your test, come over to my place.
We can celebrate.
Did you hear?
Since last night there have been strange explosions all over town.
Strange explosions?
I wonder who won?
Missed.
Damn, he got away.
A puppet.
Master Horu, you seem a bit worn out...
I'm hungry. Prepare another one immediately.
What?!
What's the matter?
What do you mean?
Yes, but the rule was that...
the tax should only be paid once every four years, was it not?
This one will do.
Please, anything but that one.
She's my only daughter.
Second year student from class B, Miss Elle Sonoda.
There is a phone call from your home.
Please report to the administrator's office immediately.
I wonder what it's about.
Well, good luck tomorrow.
Hey, Bocca.
So if you pass the re-test, you get to go out with four-eyes?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Are you really going to be able to pass it?
Thank you, Bocca...
for showing everyone what the true emptiness of shooting an arrow is.
You look depressed.
You?!
I remembered your uniform...
so I figured that you belong to this school.
Here, you forgot something.
Yeah, right.
Oops.
Give it back.
Not just yet.
I'm kind of hungry again, little Bocca.
Administrator's Office
Teacher?
Now, it's time to start your extracurricular lessons.
Your father said to let you escape from here as soon as possible...
because you are his precious only daughter.
You're grades are noteworthy, too.
But, as a mayor of this town, his actions cannot be forgiven.
It would never be forgiven to go against the monsters.
He's here. The path which will elevate me to a higher position.
Nice shot.
Ah... Um...
The traitorous mayor said to let the girl escape.
He said to take the girl and run away immediately.
But, I did not follow his orders.
Sorry but...
could you leave us alone for a while?
The truth is, I am one who believes that...
because the monsters have taken control of the world...
the world has become better...
and people have been able to live in harmony.
And because of this...
I've been longing to join the renowned Monster Union.
What's your name?
Elle.
Your generosity really helps me out a lot.
It's been hard lately to earn much from fortune-telling.
Thanks, little Bocca.
And how is it that you know my name?
Your school ID in your wallet.
Sayoko Tsukinomori
I also saw, the missing person flyer.
I see.
I know you're not a fortune teller. You're just a thief!
Oh, don't be silly.
If I was a thief, why would I go out of my way to return this?
Didn't you come looking for me because you wanted to know...
more about the whereabouts of that guy named Kurofune?
I met him last night.
Really?!
Yes. How are you guys related to each other?
If you're a fortune teller...
why don't you use your phony chains to find out his location?
This doesn't work all the time.
I was a fool. Please save my daughter.
Forget it. Just tell me the location.
What's going on?
It's him!
Hey!
There you are, you bastard cow!
Damn, it's the Melos warrior.
What was that voice?
It's the same as yesterday.
Mr. Kurofune.
There's a monster! Don't look!
Yes.
Four-eyes!
What's the matter? Go ahead and shoot, Kurofune.
Come! Jaguar of the Sun!
Four-eyes!
Take good care of it. It's your partner.
Come! Elanvital!
Mr... Kurofune...
It really came.
Go, Elanvital!
He...
Wait!
Another new face has entered the scene.
Oh, boy. I can't keep up.
Is it over?
Why did you come?
Didn't you promise that you would stay at Tsukinomori's place?
I'm sorry. But...
Listen! Stop following me!
Wherever I go, I will be battling against monsters.
It really does fly. I'm jealous.
Bocca! Isn't that your name?
Listen up. It's not as if you were selected.
This is where you must decide.
And you must be truly ready when you make that decision.
Let's meet again, if we're still alive.
Oh, wait. There's something I needed to ask!
No!
Stop!
It hurts. Let me go.
Four-eyes!
Save me, Bocca. He's gone crazy!
Huh, hey...
What is the meaning of this?
Let go of four-eyes!
You knew all along that children were being sacrificed to the monsters.
Of course.
In this era, there is no choice but to listen and serve the monsters.
Where did the master go?
You were fast asleep up until now.
We humans can't survive unless we learn to serve the monsters.
That goes the same for the warriors of Melos.
Ring out! My Melos!
You're also a warrior of Melos.
Where are you going, Bocca?
"Where are you going, Bocca?" so she says.
Get on.
You're still going to chase after him anyway, right?
I believe that our goals are the same.
Besides, there's still something I need to ask him.
Well, if you insist.
Bocca!
Goodbye...
What do you mean, "Goodbye"? Who is that girl?
You sure it's OK?
Yeah.
Hey, the quiet voice is sounding so sad
Why are you hiding your loneliness
And just smiling silently in front of me?
Even the night I'm losing the courage that tomorrow will come again
So, let's go as far as I can to look for new pain
If you would be by my side on the night I can't sleep
I wish for a new future, just to hold it, so I can continue walking
Forever
Next Episode
There will be sad times, and there will be hard times.
But, there is no night where a morning will not follow.
What?! This place is forever in darkness?!
