You shouldn't be living in such an environment! You should leave your master!
"The Truth About Wolves"
Oh, it's already undone.
This part must be the Lost Precious.
Master, what are you going to do with him?
I suppose I'll keep him in the basement for a while.
He's a level 10 breaker.
There's a good chance he has an A Class Lost Precious.
When he wakes up, I'll ask him about it.
Don't worry. Have I ever hurt anyone for no reason?
No.
Master, I'm sorry for being captured.
Do you have that woman's Lost Precious?
Yes. It's right here.
You accomplished your mission.
It was my fault for sending you in such a hurry.
In any case, I'm glad you're all right.
Master.
Put the Lost Precious in this box.
I'll rest a little before examining it.
Okay.
It's beautiful.
You must be tired.
Drink this.
Okay.
Master, what kind of power do those earrings have?
I don't know the details.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
The Nanao Family has been searching for it.
It must be valuable.
The earrings hear the voice of truth.
They allow one to read a person's thoughts.
What is it?
It's nothing. My arm hurts from being bound.
Even you don't know the power of the earrings?
That's what I said.
They allow one to hear what a person is really thinking.
What's wrong, Ai? Does it hurt that much?
Something's wrong with her. Am I not being affectionate enough?
Sorry for putting you in danger.
Are you hungry? Let's have something to eat soon.
I'll feed you, so cheer up.
I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well.
I'm going to rest in my room.
I see.
I'll take this to the laboratory.
Wait.
Leave the box.
Surely you didn't...
Master, you took me in, didn't you?
You raised me to be your partner to do good, didn't you?
That's right.
I kidnapped you 15 years ago.
You're a dog I've been using for my experiments.
I told you not to touch Lost Preciouses.
Ai!
Their irises match. Saeki and Furumori are the same person.
That bastard!
Ryuji.
I'll send the keepers.
Furumori's existence is a secret, so it may take some time.
Don't do anything dangerous.
But you're not listening to me, are you?
Of course not!
I'll save Ryuji.
Understood.
One more thing. The hair collected from Odd Eye at the party...
Where am I?
The rope came off.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Good.
"Good"?
I'm the one who kidnapped you and trapped you here!
And all you have to say is "good"?
Well, I...
Your hands and arms are swollen.
Shut up!
It's okay. I won't hurt you.
Sorry.
I was just worried about your injuries.
Sorry for trying to touch you without permission.
Why won't they ring?
What's wrong?
My master has been lying to me.
He's always been lying to me.
Lying?
About everything.
You were right.
I have nothing left. Nowhere to call home. No one to rely on.
Then why don't you stay with me?
If you don't have anywhere to go, stay with me.
Eriko-san and Rose will be there. They're a little noisy, but they're good people.
If you want to, that is.
What are you talking about? I'm your enemy.
I don't really have a reason...
What do you want? Why are you telling me this?
What do I want?
She's really cute, and she's a nice girl. I want to protect her.
I want to take care of her.
You think I'm cute?
Those earrings! Are they...
Let's leave before my master comes!
Okay.
I'll take you somewhere you'll be able to find a ride. After that, you're on your own.
Come with me. If he finds out you let me escape, you'll...
I'll have to punish you.
You disobeyed your master. What a bad dog.
Such dogs must be dealt with.
Are you talking about her?
Who else would I be referring to?
I understand completely.
I can't leave her here. I'm taking her with me.
Don't touch my dog!
A breaker.
But where's your Lost Precious?
He's just like me.
That's right. They're the same as your marks.
Both my powers and yours come from here.
There's no point in lying any more, Ai.
There's no wolf's blood in you. You're an ordinary human.
A human?
Yes. Her powers are acquired.
Take a look at this.
This pattern is just like Ai's.
Just as I thought, Furumori embedded a Lost Precious inside his own body.
These marks appeared as a result.
Then there must be one inside Ai as well.
It's most likely a Lost Precious he stole when he escaped...
the Wolf's Fang.
I was human?
No...
You should be able to tell if I'm lying.
Why would you do such a terrible thing?
It was an order from your society.
Reducing casting time, increasing portability...
and above all else, increasing maximum potential.
The best way to do these was to make the breaker and Lost Precious one.
I arrived at this conclusion trying to fulfill their demands.
Ai and I are the only successful subjects.
Without at least an A Class Lost Precious and a level 8 breaker, it was pointless.
Pointless? What do you think a human life is worth?
I have become one with five Lost Preciouses. Here's the question.
What sort of creature will be born if I become one with Ai?
Get up!
He's crazy. Why is he doing this?
For revenge.
Early in his research, a woman he was working with died after being possessed by a Cursed Precious.
A certain collector refused to lend him the Lost Precious he needed to release her.
There are records of the repeated requests Furumori made to the higher ups of the society.
After her death, Furumori began criticizing the higher ups.
He also began acting strangely.
Hang in there!
We've got to run!
Do you have your answer, Ryuji-kun?
What will I become if I absorb Ai? What is your answer?
I don't know!
That's right!
Nobody knows. Not even me.
That's why I want to know.
It's truly fascinating!
You're welcome to destroy yourself, but you have no right to ruin the lives of others!
Ryuji-kun, there's nothing I cannot do.
The collector and the members of the society who let my friend die are living comfortably.
They keep the gifts of the Lost Preciouses to themselves. They are no different from me.
What can a member of that society like you do to convince me?
Ai, you have to run!
Hurry!
Ryuji!
It's okay. I'm here for you.
I'm scared, but I need to protect her.
You're finished, Ryuji-kun. What will you do?
I will defeat you.
I use my powers to protect the ones I love.
I use them to save those who need help.
I won't run from the small mistakes before me because of the huge mistakes in the past.
If I see anyone suffering, I will save them.
That is the kind of breaker I will be.
The breaker I want to be!
Ryuji!
A dragon!
Ryuji!
Erika wanted you to have this.
A dragon? What is going on?
Rose, stand back.
Ryuji!
You bitch.
Ai!
Are you...
It's stone.
Rose!
Ryuji!
Engage.
I see. That dragon girl increases your power.
Then how's this?
What's this?
Ryuji!
Rot! Rot into nothing! Return to the darkness!
Ryuji!
Damn it!
Ai, return to me.
You belong to me.
Hold on! I'll save you!
How dare you!
Ryuji!
Master!
Master, hang in there!
What is this?
Rose?
I don't know.
I just wanted to destroy that power.
It's not good.
Rose, you can do that?
I just wanted to protect you.
I'm glad you're okay.
Thanks, Rose.
Master.
It's gone.
Master!
Why are you crying? I deceived you.
You should kill me.
People from the society will be here soon.
Please atone for your sins for Ai's sake.
You'll pay if you don't.
I refuse.
I don't think what I did was wrong.
I owe the society nothing.
Why you...
Ryuji-kun.
Lost Preciouses are full of human will.
Have you ever considered the emotions behind that will?
Unable to go to heaven or hell, how would you feel...
if you were used by humans and confined to a dark space?
I don't want that. I refuse.
That's what all the Lost Preciouses I gathered told me, too.
I'll use my fifth Lost Precious.
I will become mist and disappear into the atmosphere.
I'm sure the idiots of the society will be disappointed.
Why don't you see how far your nice words will get you?
Master!
Master, tell me.
How did you feel about me?
I never loved you.
You were only a pet.
I understand.
Well?
It's no use. He destroyed all his data.
What do you want to do about that? Rose can erase it with her fire.
I'll leave this the way it is.
I see.
What are you going to do now?
I don't have anything. Not even a family.
Excuse me.
Do you have a minute?
None of this is related to his research, but there's an entry here from 15 years ago about Makihara...
Makihara...
Makihara-san! His child was stolen along with his Lost Preciouses 15 years ago!
It's possible.
Furumori... No, Saeki called you Ai, didn't he?
Yes.
It seems Makihara-san's daughter was named Aika.
I have a family.
Makihara-san said he'd like to see you as soon as possible.
We'll give you a ride if you need one.
Thank you.
It was nothing.
I'll visit you.
I promise I'll visit.
Sure. You're welcome any time.
See you later.
Okay.
Eriko-san, I'm going to register with the society as a level 10 breaker.
Are you sure? I thought you didn't want to draw attention to yourself.
Yes, but if I can use my powers for good...
Besides, I want to know more about Lost Preciouses and this world.
All right. I'll help you apply.
Let's go home, Ryuji.
Yeah. Let's go home.
Next episode "The Dangerous Test"
Tokura here. The other day, I told my finacee's parents I'm a dragon researcher...
they told me to find a real job. The life of a researcher is a hard one!
