1. Hoshino's cell phone?
Copy !req
2. Yes, I'd like you to
use it to track her down
Copy !req
3. Understood
Copy !req
4. Please wait
Copy !req
5. How did it go?
Copy !req
6. No luck
Copy !req
7. I accessed the General Student
Council's central network
Copy !req
8. But I couldn't determine her current location
Copy !req
9. Really?
Copy !req
10. But we need a lead
Copy !req
11. In that case…
Copy !req
12. Come in
Copy !req
13. Who is it?
Copy !req
14. Could it be Hoshino?
Copy !req
15. What's this?
Copy !req
16. The sky blue archive!
Copy !req
17. I pedal on my bike seeking new sights
Copy !req
18. We'll break the monotony,
no longer trapped in place
Copy !req
19. Daydreaming on the rooftop,
gazing at a sky so blue
Copy !req
20. Those clouds like whales are always changing
Copy !req
21. We'll embrace a past that can't be altered
Copy !req
22. Sharing juice in this world made of sand
is a taste so divine
Copy !req
23. If I were here alone, here without all of you
Copy !req
24. I couldn't laugh, I couldn't cry
Copy !req
25. A fateful coterie
Copy !req
26. Even if the world's memories blow away
like grains of sand one day
Copy !req
27. The sky, sea, wind, and you,
our youth will never end
Copy !req
28. It's easy to see why we protect what we do
Copy !req
29. Because this is the only place where we belong
Copy !req
30. Is this the place?
Copy !req
31. This is definitely the right floor…
Copy !req
32. I've been expecting you, Sensei
Copy !req
33. I wanted to speak face-to-face
Copy !req
34. at least once
Copy !req
35. The General Student Council
president's inscrutable advocate…
Copy !req
36. Sensei, from Schale's
Federal Investigation Club
Copy !req
37. Don't worry
Copy !req
38. We don't intend to fight you
Copy !req
39. We want to work with you
Copy !req
40. You see, a small school
Copy !req
41. like Abydos is no problem for us
Copy !req
42. But you, Sensei, you're different
Copy !req
43. We're very wary of you
Copy !req
44. Who are you?
Copy !req
45. Ah, yes, I haven't introduced myself
Copy !req
46. For now, you can call me
Copy !req
47. Black Suit
Copy !req
48. I prefer that name
Copy !req
49. We're very similar, you and I.
Copy !req
50. Similar?
Copy !req
51. Yes, we're similar in that
Copy !req
52. neither of us is from Kivotos
Copy !req
53. In fact, my people are from
a different realm altogether
Copy !req
54. Gematria
Copy !req
55. You may call us that
Copy !req
56. To put it in terms you'll understand,
Copy !req
57. you could say it's my organization
Copy !req
58. Gematria prefers to
Copy !req
59. observe, explore, and study
Copy !req
60. In that way, we remain
Copy !req
61. just as inscrutable as you
Copy !req
62. Now before we discuss
any more, I must ask…
Copy !req
63. Are you willing to work with us?
Copy !req
64. I refuse.
Copy !req
65. What do you seek in
Kivotos that makes you
Copy !req
66. so quick to reject
our knowledge?
Copy !req
67. I'm here to get Hoshino back
Copy !req
68. You have no right
Copy !req
69. to make such a demand.
Copy !req
70. She is no longer an Abydos student
Copy !req
71. You're wrong
Copy !req
72. Didn't you receive her withdrawal letter?
Copy !req
73. I saw it, yes
Copy !req
74. Then you already know
Copy !req
75. There's nothing you can do, Sensei
Copy !req
76. That's not true
Copy !req
77. You see…
Copy !req
78. I haven't signed it yet
Copy !req
79. I haven't signed it yet
Copy !req
80. Which means Hoshino's still part
of the Foreclosure Task Force
Copy !req
81. She's still the vice president
of Abydos High School
Copy !req
82. And she's still my student
Copy !req
83. I see, As their teacher, you must sign
Copy !req
84. all withdrawals to finalize them
Copy !req
85. How irritating
Copy !req
86. You…
Copy !req
87. You tricked Hoshino and the others
Copy !req
88. You crushed their spirits
and made them suffer
Copy !req
89. Yes, that's exactly right
Copy !req
90. If you must define us by our actions,
Copy !req
91. then we are undoubtedly evil
Copy !req
92. Nonetheless, we have
played by the rules
Copy !req
93. I hope that's clear
Copy !req
94. We are not to blame for
Copy !req
95. the disaster that struck Abydos
Copy !req
96. A sandstorm of that magnitude,
Copy !req
97. though rare, is not unheard of
Copy !req
98. It's completely natural
Copy !req
99. It only follows that, as people die of thirst,
Copy !req
100. someone should appear to sell them water
Copy !req
101. It's all part of the process
Copy !req
102. And is it natural for that water
to cost them everything they have?
Copy !req
103. Yes, It's common practice
Copy !req
104. That's the way of this world
Copy !req
105. The haves exploit the have-nots
Copy !req
106. The weak do not decide their fate
Copy !req
107. Sensei
Copy !req
108. If you relinquish Hoshino,
Copy !req
109. we'll protect Abydos for you
Copy !req
110. and restore its former glory,
Copy !req
111. so its students can be carefree
Copy !req
112. It's what Hoshino would want
Copy !req
113. Even if you could do that,
Copy !req
114. my students would never agree to it
Copy !req
115. Why are you determined to oppose us?
Copy !req
116. You're powerless
Copy !req
117. You have no means to fight us
Copy !req
118. That may be so
Copy !req
119. But if someone needs help, I'll fight,
Copy !req
120. no matter how great the opponent
Copy !req
121. If they keep calling out,
eventually someone will answer
Copy !req
122. I'm determined to prove that
Copy !req
123. That's absurd
Copy !req
124. You're here, and those
kids still ended up alone
Copy !req
125. At least
Copy !req
126. I heard them
Copy !req
127. I heard their voices
Copy !req
128. Can't you just ignore them?
Copy !req
129. This isn't really your problem
Copy !req
130. I refuse
Copy !req
131. Why?
Copy !req
132. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Copy !req
133. Why? Why? Why? Why?
Copy !req
134. I don't understand
Why do you refuse?
Copy !req
135. Those kids suffered so much
Copy !req
136. And no adult took responsibility
Copy !req
137. So you're going to do it for them?
Copy !req
138. You're not even their family
Copy !req
139. You're right, I'm not
family—or anything like it
Copy !req
140. Pure chance brought me to Abydos
Copy !req
141. And chance brought me to those kids
Copy !req
142. It's as simple as that
Copy !req
143. But so what?
Copy !req
144. You want a reason?
Copy !req
145. It's because they asked for my help
Copy !req
146. And that's enough
Copy !req
147. That makes you a responsible adult?
Copy !req
148. Yes
Copy !req
149. When kids laugh, you laugh with them
Copy !req
150. When they're sad, you stay by their side
Copy !req
151. When they're in trouble, you help
Copy !req
152. That's what adults do
Copy !req
153. You couldn't be more wrong
Copy !req
154. Adults mold society to their vision
Copy !req
155. They make the rules
Copy !req
156. They define common sense
Copy !req
157. They determine what's extraordinary
Copy !req
158. They use power
to rule the powerless
Copy !req
159. They use knowledge
to control the ignorant
Copy !req
160. They use strength
to dominate the weak
Copy !req
161. That's what adults do
Copy !req
162. I don't understand
Copy !req
163. You could have ruled Kivotos
Copy !req
164. The immense power and
authority this city affords,
Copy !req
165. the Mystics who reside within,
Copy !req
166. all of it was in your grasp,
Copy !req
167. even if only temporarily
Copy !req
168. Yet, you did not hesitate to discard it
Copy !req
169. Truth, secrets,
Copy !req
170. power, money, strength
Copy !req
171. You abandoned it all for nothing, Why?
Copy !req
172. Even if I told you,
you'd never understand
Copy !req
173. Then this negotiation is over, Sensei
Copy !req
174. It's too bad, I like you
Copy !req
175. But it can't be helped
Copy !req
176. You'll find Hoshino in a lab
Copy !req
177. at the Kaiser PMC base
in the Abydos Desert
Copy !req
178. "Mimesis" revealed the Mystics' other side:
Copy !req
179. Terror itself
Copy !req
180. We suspect a living
student could harness it
Copy !req
181. Hoshino was to be our test subject
Copy !req
182. You suspect?
Copy !req
183. Since negotiations have failed,
Copy !req
184. we will be unable to confirm it
Copy !req
185. I regret that we must retreat now
Copy !req
186. - What about Hoshino?
- Do as you wish
Copy !req
187. Take her
Copy !req
188. If you can get into the base, that is
Copy !req
189. And if the Director allows it
Copy !req
190. It was nice talking to you
Copy !req
191. Let's meet again someday
Copy !req
192. I wish you some small
measure of luck.
Copy !req
193. A lab at the Kaiser PMC base?
Copy !req
194. A lab at the Kaiser PMC base?
Copy !req
195. Yes, I'm sure
Copy !req
196. Hoshino's there
Copy !req
197. To think she's being
held in such a place…
Copy !req
198. - We can't waste any time
- Let's rescue her
Copy !req
199. Right
Copy !req
200. But wait a moment
Copy !req
201. What should we say
when we find Hoshino?
Copy !req
202. That's not as important as—
Copy !req
203. - We should scold her
- Huh?
Copy !req
204. She broke her promise
and should be punished
Copy !req
205. Thoroughly
Copy !req
206. We should scold her
Copy !req
207. We'll tell her, "Welcome back!"
Copy !req
208. And she'll say, "I'm home,"
Copy !req
209. How embarrassing!
It's like a cheesy youth drama!
Copy !req
210. Like we're living some
pure, innocent school story
Copy !req
211. That's not our style!
Copy !req
212. I'm going to say it
Copy !req
213. whether Serika does or not
Copy !req
214. Me too, even if it is embarrassing…
Copy !req
215. Do whatever you want
Copy !req
216. But I'll never say
something that corny
Copy !req
217. Okay, but before that, right now—
Copy !req
218. Right now,
Copy !req
219. we can't beat them on our own
Copy !req
220. Then we need to find help
Copy !req
221. Problem Solver 68?
Copy !req
222. Yes, they've helped us before but…
Copy !req
223. About that…
Copy !req
224. It's been a while, everyone
Copy !req
225. How have you been, Hifumi?
Copy !req
226. Good, thanks to you
Copy !req
227. I'm sorry, I wanted to visit you first—
Copy !req
228. Huh?
Copy !req
229. Where's Hoshino?
Copy !req
230. Well, you see…
Copy !req
231. So…
Copy !req
232. That's what happened
Copy !req
233. Yes, we should've caught it sooner
Copy !req
234. and stopped Hoshino
Copy !req
235. But we were just as helpless
Copy !req
236. So then your visit today has
Copy !req
237. something to do with Hoshino?
Copy !req
238. That's right
Copy !req
239. We need Trinity's help to rescue her
Copy !req
240. I'll talk to the Tea Party
Copy !req
241. What should I do?
Copy !req
242. What do you think, Nagisa?
Copy !req
243. Which one should I choose?
Copy !req
244. A strawberry cream shortcake
Copy !req
245. pairs perfectly with the tea
Copy !req
246. But I can't give up this Mont Blanc
Copy !req
247. Well, Nagisa…
Copy !req
248. The Abydos students saved me once
Copy !req
249. So…
Copy !req
250. That Kaiser PMC company is sure to be
Copy !req
251. a bad influence on our students
Copy !req
252. - Then will you help them—
- However,
Copy !req
253. with the treaty signing so near,
Copy !req
254. we can't afford to be reckless
Copy !req
255. Can you give us some time?
Copy !req
256. So they're on hold?
Copy !req
257. I'm sorry for suggesting this
Copy !req
258. I knew it wouldn't be easy
Copy !req
259. It's so hard to get
another school's help
Copy !req
260. We can't give up
Copy !req
261. True
Copy !req
262. But the next place
might not help either
Copy !req
263. Still, we can't give up
Copy !req
264. It'll be all right
Copy !req
265. I'm really sorry it's just me
Copy !req
266. It's okay
Copy !req
267. I wish Chinatsu could be here too
Copy !req
268. But our school has its own issues
Copy !req
269. Thanks for working so hard, Chinatsu
Copy !req
270. Sorry I'm late
Copy !req
271. - Would you like a drink?
- Huh?
Copy !req
272. Th-Thank you
Copy !req
273. But that's mine…
Copy !req
274. I apologize for making you wait
Copy !req
275. - But everything's finally sorted…
- Excuse me
Copy !req
276. I'm sorry to disturb your rest,
Copy !req
277. but there's a problem in the cafeteria
Copy !req
278. I see, Thank you so much
Copy !req
279. I'm sorry once again
Enjoy your stay
Copy !req
280. Is she always running around like that?
Copy !req
281. Actually, today's better than usual
Copy !req
282. Anyway,
Copy !req
283. Where were we?
Copy !req
284. The head prefect's busy
Copy !req
285. You can't see her
Copy !req
286. But…
Copy !req
287. Tell you what
Copy !req
288. Get down on your knees
and lick my feet like—
Copy !req
289. Wh-What are you doing?
Copy !req
290. Don't you have a shred
of dignity? Or propriety?
Copy !req
291. This is an emergency!
Copy !req
292. He's staring straight at me…
Copy !req
293. Stop it! Let go of me!
Copy !req
294. Looks like you're having fun
Copy !req
295. Head Prefect Hina!
Copy !req
296. If you're bowing that deeply,
Copy !req
297. there must be a serious problem
Copy !req
298. Well, that's—
Head Prefect, I—
Copy !req
299. Sensei was just—
He's not bowing, He's…
Copy !req
300. Huh?
Copy !req
301. …licking my feet…?
Copy !req
302. Oh, Hina!
Copy !req
303. So, the Prefect Team
is on hold too?
Copy !req
304. Rest assured, I did
everything I could
Copy !req
305. Our last hope is
Problem Solver 68
Copy !req
306. But will they accept our request?
Copy !req
307. Have no fear, This time…
Copy !req
308. Huh?
Copy !req
309. What's going on now?
Copy !req
310. This is strange
Copy !req
311. This is definitely the right address
Copy !req
312. Is this supposed to be
the Problem Solver office?
Copy !req
313. Could we have made a mistake?
Copy !req
314. If so, we have no idea
where they are now
Copy !req
315. Another dead end
Copy !req
316. Let's get out of here
Copy !req
317. Where are they anyway?
Copy !req
318. Where are they anyway?
(Problem Solver 68 / CEO: Rikuhachima Aru
Call us anytime!)
Copy !req
319. - Long time no see, Master
- Huh?
Copy !req
320. Ah, welcome
Copy !req
321. This food cart looks great
Copy !req
322. It feels so nostalgic
Copy !req
323. Really?
Copy !req
324. Shiba Seki Ramen did
start out as a food cart
Copy !req
325. How should I put it?
I feel young again
Copy !req
326. I'm glad to see you're well
Copy !req
327. Now we can eat your ramen again
Copy !req
328. If not for that windfall, who
knows what would've happened
Copy !req
329. You would have figured something out
Copy !req
330. Well, I couldn't quit, could I?
Copy !req
331. Plenty of people still want my ramen
Copy !req
332. I served the cutest customers earlier
Copy !req
333. They said they were exhausted,
but my ramen gave them strength
Copy !req
334. I'm really grateful
Copy !req
335. How about you all?
Copy !req
336. Well, we're a bit…
Copy !req
337. We've been asking around for help
Copy !req
338. There's one team left,
but we can't find them
Copy !req
339. We might have to give up
Copy !req
340. Master, the check, please
Copy !req
341. - There they are!
- There they are!
Copy !req
342. Huh?
Copy !req
343. You want us to fight
Kaiser PMC…for free?
Copy !req
344. There's nothing
in it for us at all?
Copy !req
345. I'm really sorry about that
Copy !req
346. Kayoko, take a closer look at Aru
Copy !req
347. Huh?
Copy !req
348. "Eating this ramen is payment enough,"
Copy !req
349. That's what her face says, right?
Copy !req
350. That's right!
As expected of Aru
Copy !req
351. Not a word
Copy !req
352. She just runs headlong
into hell for a bowl of ramen
Copy !req
353. That's what being
hardboiled is all about!
Copy !req
354. - I'm sorry
- Huh?
Copy !req
355. But I'll have to think about it
Copy !req
356. Aru?
Copy !req
357. Boss, are you serious?
Copy !req
358. Yeah, I get it
Copy !req
359. Let's go, everyone
Copy !req
360. Wait, Aru!
Copy !req
361. Sensei, sometimes this happens…
Copy !req
362. - It's all right
- Huh?
Copy !req
363. Those kids will show up
I have faith in them
Copy !req
364. - Yeah!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
365. Faith, huh…
Copy !req
366. Right, As long as the shop has
faith in its customers, it'll live on
Copy !req
367. That's the way it goes
Copy !req
368. If it doesn't work out,
you can always start over
Copy !req
369. As long as you believe,
the path will continue
Copy !req
370. Go, Foreclosure Task Force
Copy !req
371. Then…
Copy !req
372. Come back for delicious ramen!
Copy !req
373. Is everyone ready?
Copy !req
374. Yes
Copy !req
375. We can go anytime
Copy !req
376. We've got plenty of ammunition
Copy !req
377. And we had a good night's sleep
Copy !req
378. Kaiser PMC can't beat us!
Copy !req
379. According to Sensei's intel,
Copy !req
380. Hoshino's in District 51
of the Kaiser PMC base
Copy !req
381. Then let's move out
Copy !req
382. All right! Hoshino Rescue Mission…
Copy !req
383. Start!
Copy !req
384. I'll take a window seat on this journey
to find the place where my heart belongs
Copy !req
385. So I can see beyond this sorrow chasing me
Copy !req
386. We were losing track of time
without ever knowing why
Copy !req
387. With all those laughs we shared…
Copy !req
388. Even if those moments were just ordinary
Copy !req
389. Those days…
Copy !req
390. One more time, one time more
Copy !req
391. Knowing they won't come around again!
Copy !req
392. If only I could stay as resolute and beautiful
Copy !req
393. As the moon hanging in the bright noon sky
Copy !req
394. Would that let me finally forgive
Copy !req
395. All those regrets we made so willfully?
Copy !req
396. We only recognize the important things
Copy !req
397. Once they're gone and lost out of sight
Copy !req
398. We stretch up to the moon
in the bright noon sky
Copy !req
399. Even though it will always be
beyond our reach
Copy !req
400. Oh, those unforgettable, beautiful days…
Copy !req
