Thank you, Momo. You’re a big help.
Don’t mention it.
I just happened to see it. That’s all.
Jeez, I can’t help thinking my sister’s inventions are nothing but trouble, but...
Long time no see. I’m glad you look well, Eve.
Right now I’m Yami the Golden Darkness.
I’m no longer the way I used to be.
Oh, right!
I suppose you’re mad, right?
About me leaving you behind...
I came so close to being eliminated by the organization then,
so I thought about escaping with you.
But they saw it right through me...
Eve!
I had my hands full with protecting my own life...
I found out that the organization was destroyed
while I was moving from one planet to another,
so I looked for you, but I couldn't find you.
A few years later I learned about “Golden Darkness”,
who had been feared in the underground world.
I immediately knew it was you, but I refused to believe it...
I thought about the magnitude of despair,
which had driven someone like you who
was full of energy and gentle, to want to live like that...
I’m sorry...
I’m so sorry...
I don’t care about stuff like that...
Your apology doesn’t give me a second chance to live my life,
myself as Golden Darkness, either.
There’s only one thing I feel right now.
I’m glad that you’re alive.
That’s all, Tear.
Look, she’s walking away!
Yami is so defiant, isn’t she?
She should give her a hug or something.
She couldn’t help it.
They both have something that’s holding them back.
It’s not easy to regain the closeness that they shared once in their hearts.
It may take a long time, but I hope one day they could go back to how they used to be.
Mea, have you heard that a new teacher who looks just like Yami
has come to my sister’s class?
Do you want to go check her out later?
Sure, let’s do that.
Supposedly she has humongous boobs, too!
It’s worth checking it out, right?
Tearju Lunatik...
She’s someone who tried to make Golden Darkness foolishly live her life
as a human by denying her way of life as a weapon...
Oh my goodness!
How do you get boobs like that?!
Let’s go, Nana.
Hey, what’s wrong with you, Mea?
I wanted to chat with her a little!
So she is...
Hey, Mea!
Where did she go?
Hey, Yami. Have you seen Mea?
No.
Okay.
Is anything wrong with Mea Kurosaki?
Well, nothing’s wrong with her, but...
Nana...
Are you Mea’s friend?
Being with my friend...
Being with Mikan is uplifting.
You are...
Has a girl named Mea Kurosaki come here?
“Kurosaki?”
The one with red hair.
No, she hasn’t.
I see...
Mea.
Where have you been?
What? The bathroom.
I see.
Did something happen?
No...
What’s wrong, Nana? You’re being strange.
I see. That sounds worrisome.
I know. She seems different from the time she was depressed before, too.
I wonder if she’ dealing with something all by herself.
Should I leave it alone until Mea comes and talk to me about it?
It could be something that’s hard to talk about at school.
I’m sorry...
Don’t worry about it.
You’re Lala’s younger sister, aren’t you?
Yes, I am. How do you know that?
The girl you were looking for earlier...
Are you talking about Mea?
Are you friends with her?
Yes, we are.
I see.
Please take care of Mea.
I’m home!
Sairenji?
Hello there.
What are you doing here?
Well, you know...
What are you doing, Nana?
Shut up! Mind your own business!
Nana, Dad said it’s okay!
Really?
Hooray!
Yahoo!
Hello!
I’m sorry to surprise you.
No problem. I don’t know exactly what it is, but anything fun is welcome!
Look forward to it then!
Nana is such a good girl.
She’s always full of energy.
Yeah!
Wow! This is my room?!
Isn’t it nice? Haruna picked the furniture and I decorated.
The brighter the room is the better you feel, right?
Exactly!
But didn’t this cost you a lot of money?
Oh, that’s no big deal! I might not look it, but I’m still a princess, you know.
What are you talking about?
I’ve heard that you asked Rito a loan of your 6-month allowance.
Hey, Peke! Just shut up!
Nana, what about that?
Oh yeah.
It didn’t come out great, but...
Now Mea’s new room is complete!
Nana is clumsy so it looks bad, but it’s packed with her love!
Big Sister! Who are you calling clumsy?!
Nana...
Thank you!
I’m glad!
You’ve been a little strange.
It looked like something had been bothering you.
Yeah?
But you look better!
Mea...
Yes?
So even you don’t know anything about Mea and Master, Miss Tearju?
Right.
It’s not like I knew everything about the project
which was developing when I was in the organization.
But I’m pretty sure that Mea Kurosaki is the second generation,
which was created based on Yami’s developing data.
Mass production of trans weapons...
That also had to be the ultimate goal of the organization.
About Master... All I can offer you is speculations at this point.
Whether she’s a surviving researcher or...
I’m sorry that I couldn’t be much of help.
It’s okay. I know having you with us is very encouraging. That’s what I wanted to...
What are they?
Seeds of Dazule.
If you slam it onto the ground it’ll rapidly put forth buds.
Then it’ll tangle onto your opponent’s body and stop their movement.
On top of that it’s been designed to send out the signal as soon as it puts forth buds,
so if anything happens to you I could be right there for you.
There’s no guaranteed that Master won’t do anything to you. This is for precaution.
Thank you.
I’m so glad, Momo...
...that she has such a dependable friend like you.
Yami asked me to do this.
She did?
Take care of Tear for me.
She’s so defiant...
I see.
She’s a clone, but the personalities of Tearju and Yami are completely different.
I guess so.
Now that I think about it their boobs are also...
I’m sure Miss Tearju was around the same age as Yami and me back then...
I wonder the way you’re brought up and the environment
you grow up in make a difference in the size...
Even when they have the same DNA.
You shouldn’t bring up the subject to Yami though...
Oh well, that’s a different topic.
I’m sure it’s going to be so much fun if we add Miss Tearju
to our Project Harem along with Yami!
What?!
Yuuki, can I wash your body?
If Tear is going to do it, I’ll do it too.
Don’t tell your classmates about this.
Wh-Wh-What are you talking about?
I was just kidding.
Miss Tearju.
Hi, Kokegawa. I didn’t realize you were still here.
Yes. I was attending the Discipline Committee meeting.
And...
My name is “Kotegawa”.
What? I’m so sorry!
Miss Tearju...
Please report to me if you ever receive any indecent treatment from male students!
Especially Yuuki! You must watch out for him!
Okay.
Indecent... What is that?
At any rate being a teacher is much harder that I thought it would be.
Memorizing each student’s name alone is hard enough.
Finally...
It looks like we can have a nice long conversation.
Do you have a minute, Doctor?
Sure. I’ve wanted to talk to you as well, Mea.
Really? That’s unexpected.
What would you like to talk about?
What is this?
Do not get any close to Miss Tearju!
If you need to talk to her do it right there!
I’ve used psychic power on your clothes!
If you go against my advice and try to move you’ll regret big time later!
The darkness of Mea’s heart no one else but I have touched...
She’s much more dangerous than everyone else thinks!
I must protect Miss Tearju as Dr. Mikado’s assistance!
Wow, it’s really ripped!
Let me ask you something, Murasame.
Do you seriously think this is enough to control me?
If that’s the case I’ll stop you without hesitation!
It’s been a while since the last time someone was being hostile towards me! I love it!
Stop it, you two!
CRACK
Miss Tearju!
What’s the matter, Momo?
Miss Tearju!
What?!
Oh no...
I can’t take it...
What’s going on?!
The buds came out when I tripped...
She’s as clumsy as Rito!
Don’t suck on it!
Celine!
I’ll untangle the vine!
Check out this racket!
Mea, what are you doing here?
Don’t misunderstand this.
I just wanted to see what kind of person Tearju is.
Murasame was the one who started the fight with me first.
“Don’t hold back against the one who initiates the attack.”
That’s my Master Nemesis’ teaching.
“Master Nemesis”?
I’ve heard that name before.
Project Nemesis...
If I remember it correctly,
it’s a completely separate trans project carried out in parallel with Project Eve,
which produced you and Yami.
However, I heard that the development failed and the project was put on ice.
Don’t tell me your Master is...!
You guessed it right. Master Nemesis is a trans weapon Project Nemesis produced.
The first scenery that I can recall is the destroyed research facility.
Broken bio capsules...
I kept walking in the rubble, not knowing who I was and what I was born for.
That was when I met her.
Master taught me how to live my life as a trans weapon.
She taught me how to use my power and told me about Yami, too.
I’ve made it this far because of Master.
Master is the only one who truly understands and leads Yami and me.
After all we’re the weapons.
Tearju, you stuck your nose in between us and still believes that Yami should live as a human.
Yes, I do.
And I want the same thing for you, too.
What?
If you’re Yami’s younger sister, you’re my sister, too.
Wh-What are you talking about?
That’s ridiculous!
I told you that I was a weapon!
Master has ordered me!
All I need a second to destroy you...!
Right now you’re living as a human in this town.
Yami is, too, right?
It’s not like we want to...
I have no choice because that’s the order we received from Master.
This place isn’t the place for us to be anyway!
Mea...
I think Nana would be very sad if you leave this town.
Nana...
Yami would be, too.
You can still change no matter how strongly you believe that you’re a weapon.
You have a heart.
I want to be your friends from the bottom of my heart, too.
I’m shy and don’t have many friends, you know.
Mea...
What about you?
What?
I may reconsider it if you lick me all over my body.
What?!
Rito, please do it for her!
Yuuki, if that’s what it takes you must do it!
How could I do that?!
Why did you say stuff like that out of the blue anyway?
So you wouldn’t, right? I’ve begun to realize what kind of person you are anyway.
Basically your heart can’t be changed that easily.
That’s why Momo has been having a hard time with you, right?
Anyway I’m not going to disobey the teaching Master has taught me.
If you’re okay with that,
I want you to continue to be friends with me, Rito, Momo and Miss Tearju...
Your heart can’t be changed that easily...
But you know what, Mea?
Although you call yourself “a weapon”,
you do admit the existence of “heart”, don’t you?
Excuse me...
Please help me, too...
Oh...
