Kariaena Island. The city of San-Teresa.
This is Earth's front door to a strange other world.
A mixture of different races and diverse cultures, haves and have-nots...
But in the shadows of all this chaos lurked countless crimes.
The San-Teresa Metropolitan Police maintained
a special unit to deal with these crimes.
"Special Episode: Beautiful Knight! Pursue the Captured Fairy!"
A lot's happened in the several months I've been here in this world.
The first case that I took with Kei Matoba, my current partner,
was to find the kidnapped fairy, Leahyah.
She was a noble fairy, a member of a powerful clan in western Farbani.
She was kidnapped by a nasty group of kidnappers and brought to this world.
There they are.
It's some important noble, right?
I'll let you deal with them.
In accordance with our treaty with the country called "The United Nations,"
I was sent to the world of the doreany to carry out justice.
I only wanted to work with a "bolice" warrior who was wise,
strong, and experienced, and learned in the ancient traditions.
But I ended up working with this man,
the first person I met when I arrived here.
Where's the VIP?
Hey.
I am Exedilica, of the Knights of Mirvor.
Do Earth sailors not even have the ritual of welcoming?
Do you not know how to talk?
Um... no.
Then answer me. Well?
I didn't notice you.
I see.
My name is
Tilarna Barsh Mirvor Lyata Imsedalya Iyeh Tebreina Devol
Nelano Seiya Nel Exedilica!
In your Earth language, that means
"Tilarna, eldest daughter of Seiya, of the House of Exedilica,
heir to the bloodline of Duke Devol, of the glorious Knights of Mirvor."
Now. What is your name?
Kei Matoba.
What?
It's Kei Matoba.
It's short.
No, people of low birth often have short names.
I won't let it bother me.
I usually go by Tilarna Exedilica.
Now, carry my things, Kae Imatoeba.
Kei Matoba.
I don't care. Start carrying.
Don't touch anything.
No, it's the smell.
The smell?
The smell of latena.
Someone controlled by an evil wizard was just here...
What are you talking about?
The enemy's close!
Shield of law, protection of the war god.
Follow me!
Hey, wait!
Don't move! This is the police!
Get down!
Crap!
--Goddamned corpse! --Stay down, damn it!
Why are you getting in my way?
--We're going after him! --You stay here!
No, I'll take him down!
Just stay put!
You idiot! Hide!
Curses of Rubahna upon you.
I can't believe you just sliced him open alone, Miss Don Quixote.
It didn't occur to you to arrest him so we could question him?
Say something!
He was being controlled via mildey.
Even if we did capture him, we wouldn't have been able to learn anything.
Mildey?
Magic. Magic to control the dead, in this case.
He was devoured by evil latena, and turned into a living corpse.
So you're trying to talk your way out of this by blaming some weird spell?
What?
You're interfering with the investigation.
Let me guess. Somebody doesn't want us finding out the deal with this fairy,
and they sent you to get in the way.
What are you implying?
What I just said.
I don't know how much they're paying you to do it, though.
This is your first and last warning, Kae Imatoeba.
Never insult me in that manner again.
Next time, I'll kill you. I'm not joking.
Oh, yeah?
Did the words of a lowly Earthling like me tick you off that bad?
Silence!
Right.
Hey, I have a question.
What?
You're serious about arresting whoever's behind this
and getting back that fairy, right?
Of course.
Me too, actually.
So why are we yelling and pointing weapons at each other?
Kei and I didn't get along,
but we both wanted to solve the case.
He and I learned that fairies were being used as weapons in this world,
and we were able to find out that a man named Zelada was involved in the case.
--But the "bolicemen" of Earth seemed more interested in arresting --Did I keep you waiting, Mr. Kareem?
--Zelada and his fellow criminals than saving Leahyah. --Let's not waste time, Mr. Elbaji.
--Zelada and his fellow criminals than saving Leahyah. --Let's do the deal.
Under doreany law,
--fairies were considered citizens. --Okay, Mr. Terrorist. Cash payment is great, huh?
--But because of the way they looked and acted, --Okay, Mr. Terrorist. Cash payment is great, huh?
--But because of the way they looked and acted, --Pay us the rest when you get the goods.
--the people here treated them more like cats or dogs. --You seem to be doing well.
--the people here treated them more like cats or dogs. --Yeah, I guess.
Thanks to those poor fairies, we can all live the good life.
--I wanted to save Leahyah no matter what. --That car, for instance. It's 300,000 dollars.
--Even if I had to abandon the sword that I value as highly as my life, --These sneakers are 3,000 dollars.
--and embark on a battle with no hope of return. --But I can have a good time with a girl for three dollars.
You know why that is?
No.
Because I'm hot!
--To me, Leahyah was more important than anyone thought. --Earth girls are all about looks. They're easy.
I'm only interested in the product.
Oh, sorry. Sorry.
Hey, Zelada!
You called, my lord?
Mr. Kareem, allow me to introduce you to Zelada the Sage.
He's this wizard you were telling me about?
That's right. The greatest in the world when it comes to controlling the dead.
Your words honor me, sir.
I simply do what I can for the sake of my master.
He said "the dead." Does he mean users of fairy dust?
Indeed.
My magics have not the slightest effect on those who are pure of soul.
And that's where this comes in!
That's the fairy bomb?
A prototype, but yeah.
I'm about to test it right now.
What do you mean?
I called them here. Using 911.
I said something about suspicious people making a ruckus.
This place is off limits.
--Hands above your heads, all of you! --Don't look at the light.
And it takes effect instantly!
What's the verdict, Zelada?
It worked, my lord. The two of them are already dead.
Make 'em salute, then.
As you wish.
Have one shoot the other.
Yes, sir.
Poor bastard! He's dead!
Now... hmm...
Make him dance on the hood!
Zelada, looks like you don't know how to dance, huh?
I'm sorry, sir.
Hilarious, huh? Huh?
How many can be controlled by this?
Five thousand? Ten thousand? However many you like.
The most I've ever controlled at once is 100.
What?
That was a prototype. The finished product will be even more amazing.
We're using the entire body of a powerful fairy.
The blast radius should be... five kilometers, or so?
That's the size of a nuke.
We could use this to overthrow the government of a superpower!
Use it however you like.
You'll have to rent Zelada too, though.
We'll pay.
Sounds good.
I'll get it ready for you, so make sure you've got the cash.
My lord, what should we do with him?
Oh, take care of him.
Forest Tower is one of the tallest buildings in the city.
He's going to use the psychic bomb there?
It may be more effective there than on the ground.
I see. Just like a nuke, huh?
What's this place like?
Loaded with rich folks. Common folk never go there.
Maybe it's not even worth stopping him.
I know. It was a joke.
Good, then.
Kei.
What?
That wizard... Zelada... You know him?
Who knows? To me, he's just another perp.
It's that wizard Zelada's doing.
Above!
Is he dangerous?
A wizard's power is something to be feared.
They can blind a warrior or create poisonous flames.
Your weapons are no match...
Even this thing? It's a good gun, and I've been using it for a long time.
Your doreany weapons have no soul.
No... I feel a faint latena from this gun.
Feelings put into an object, no matter what it is, will create latena.
Stay close to me, Kei. I'm the only one who can spot the enemy's ambush.
But...
If you're my partner, trust me.
Got it.
Get back!
Ahead! Run!
That fire will burn your lungs. You won't be able to breathe...
So you'll choke to death, huh? Damn.
That's her!
Leahyah!
Wait! It's a trap!
But I have to go!
You're right but... Damn it!
--I don't know what the hell to do with this thing. --Then smash it!
It may blow up if I mess with it.
How do I disarm this?
Is it even a bomb?
What a reckless effort!
I can assure you, for your own safety, it's best to run.
Damn you!
When I see a guy with a grin like yours,
nothing makes my day more than messing up his plans.
Oh, my... You know you're helpless.
Shut up!
See? You're helpless.
It's an illusion!
Above!
Kei!
Too bad, Sir Matoba!
You've lost once more.
Now, on to the next one...
This is so much fun!
Where is he? Damn it.
I can't see him.
No, don't rely on your eyes.
Sound. Focus on the sound.
The sound...
Over there?
What?
Oh! The pain...!
Well done.
It's been 103 years since I've been wounded like this.
Stop talking and prepare to die, monster!
No, I'm afraid it would bring shame upon the Marzaney Sect
if I were to die at the hands of a mere barshe.
And thus...
Farewell!
Kei!
I defeated Zelada. But I don't have any elixirs to heal you.
I'm sorry.
R-Run...
There's no time.
I'm going to spend the last moments of my life with her.
You should be grateful.
I've decided to die next to an uncouth, boorish, and sarcastic man like you.
I'd rather... you didn't...
My dear Leahyah...
Like I promised, I've come to save you.
When I was a child, lost in the forest, you saved me and showed me the way home.
Remember what we promised then?
That we'd always be friends.
That's why I came.
I came, like I said I would.
I didn't let you die alone.
So Leahyah, don't be scared. Let's stay together.
Leahyah? No! Don't do it!
Stop! Leahyah!
Leahyah!
Peaceful color...
Powerless color.
I beg you to give them more time.
Rarest of colors.
I'm alive?
What is this?
I used a healing spell.
I needed an elixir to heal the damage the poison did.
An elixir with powerful latena.
An elixir?
I used her body to make it.
That fairy died?
Yes.
The catalyst for the psychic bomb was a living fairy.
She knew that, it seems.
And she sacrificed her life to save me.
When I was still young, Leayah would do the most wonderful dances for me.
When I was hungry, she would bring me nuts.
We promised that when we were in trouble, when we were alone,
we would always be there for each other.
Because we were always friends, no matter where we were.
Kei Matoba, thank you for everything.
Um, well... You too.
I may be returning home in shame instead of dying with honor,
but I learned that there are some good warriors on Earth.
Oh, you forgot something.
That's...
I got it back from O'Neill.
It's expensive, right?
Too expensive to give to a tour guide.
--But... --Just take it.
Bye.
Farewell, gallant doreany soldier!
I could've just gone home here,
but I was curious about this city of San-Teresa,
and I'd taken a liking to Kae.
By Kae, I mean the cat, of course.
Kuroi, I'm home.
Amazing! Two three pointers in a row!
What is this?
A sports show.
No idea what the rules are.
No, you! You!
What are you doing here?
Oh, that?
I changed my mind.
Huh?!
We're not sure that Zelada's really dead.
And this city is filled with villains.
I figured there's more I can do.
What?
You're being treated as a detective?
And working in my department?
Yup.
So I'll be staying here for a while.
Any questions, partner?
Part... ner?
Tomorrow's gonna be an early morning. Time for bed.
Got it.
Goodnight, Kei.
Night, Tilarna.
"Next time" Next time on COP CRAFT.
