01x11 - A Light in the Midst of Hope

[bunniefuu]

Keep your "correct response."

You say you're not anything at all?

If you're not anything at all yet,

you should be free to become anything

you want from here forward.

If you don't know how to fly,

you can learn from someone

how to flap your wings.

If you don't know how to live life,

you can walk in line with someone else!

Have you arrived at your answer now?

Yeah. My answer was settled

from very start.

The arrangement is that Nagisa

Natsunagi can't die before I do.

Sorry, but that's what was promised.

Nagisa-san!

Sorry it took so long!

Right, Saikawa. That twinkle of blue

that shines even in the dark

is surely worth three billion yen.

Well played I'm finished

going easy on you.

Without fail, here and now,

I shall give you your death!

"Episode 11"

"A Light in the Midst of Hope"

"Episode 11"

"A Light in the Midst of Hope"

It was at some moment,

when I had said to Siesta,

It was at some moment,

when I had said to Siesta,

"You seem like you should be called

a secret agent more than a detective."

Kimi, although you say

I'm not really a detective,

I consider the definition

of "detective" as being

"one who protects the interests

of a client at all times."

I take pride in that sort of work.

That's why I have in the past,

and will always in the future,

continue to be a detective.

So saying, Siesta stood firm in

her own identity as a detective.

What Siesta meant by "client" was surely

every human being other than herself.

For that reason, she referred to herself

as "a legendary detective by nature"

and laughed. Her smile

was beyond radiant.

To be honest, from here on,

I'm just winging it.

It was close, but we managed

to save Natsunagi.

The fact that Saikawa raced over here

tells me that the evacuation of all the

other passengers should be complete.

In which case, everything's good.

If the only one who goes down with

the ship is me, that's just fine.

Ooh, there's a resolute look in your eye.

Intending to die alone, are you?

No. Sorry, but you're going to join me.

I regret to say I do not intend to

hand my life over to you, though.

And after I've finished k*lling you,

I will make a point of taking

the lives of those girls as well.

But rest assured, I won't

k*ll them too easily.

"Won't k*ll them too easily"?

Correct. Because, at any rate,

they possess that eye and that heart,

so from the tips of their toes to

every single hair on their heads,

it's worth examining them

meticulously, no?

Why, I'll torment them

until, by the time I'm done,

they'll cry and plead,

"Please, let me die!"

And at the very, very end I'll grant

them death through this t*rture.

Well, now, that's more than enough talk.

Have you made a reservation

for your trip to Hell?

No. Unfortunately, that destination

isn't on my itinerary.

Isn't it? Well, now

Die.

You overestimate yourself.

How could the likes of you,

an ordinary human, defeat us?

You can't protect anyone.

You talk too much!

You will die here,

and the girls you helped to escape, I will

k*ll, without fail, with this very hand.

Damn you Shut up!

Everything you've done was in vain.

You, and the human beings you're

trying to protect, will all die.

Just like that loathsome

legendary detective.

I'm going to die. That's fine.

But Natsunagi and Saikawa

I have to protect the two of them.

I must defend my clients' lives.

As Char said, I'm no more

than a sidekick. And yet

I intend to carry on the legacy of the

legendary detective's dying wish, too!

Char!

Kimizuka! Hit the deck!

Have a taste of this!

Fuubi-san!

Looks like you've had quite

a tough fight, Kimizuka!

That Char So she was intending

to do this from the start.

See, from the time I boarded this ship,

I felt a horrid presence

that was familiar to me.

I made all possible preparations.

Still, I'm grateful you came, Char.

So that means step aside, Kimizuka.

From here on, it's my turn!

Curses! The impudence

Go ahead, dodge around all you can!

I can't tell which one is the bad guy.

Kimizuka!

I don't like you; I hate you! But

But you were the one chosen by Mom.

Not me, but you, who I hate.

If that's how it is

If that's how it is, all I can do

is turn things over to you!

If Mom, who I loved,

chose you, who I hate

there's no choice but to rely on you!

Char

Kimizuka! This time around, the two of us

are going to make this mission succeed!

Yeah, I'm on board with that.

It's been my intention from the start!

Enough!

Char! Watch out!

We've been hit.

Oh, no.

In this state, no attack can strike me!

I'll be coming to k*ll you shortly. You can

gnaw on your fingertips while you wait.

Where are you?!

Char!

Kimizuka?

Oh. I get it.

I was also thinking it was about time

a certain someone quit smoking.

Hmph. No way around it, I guess.

It's hot!

I'll die

Chew on this!

Curses! Curse you!

I'll absolutely put an end to you here!

I won't let you k*ll

Natsunagi and Saikawa!

The fuselage won't hold up.

We're headed back!

Not yet!

We're changing locations.

Kimizuka!

Sies ta

Siesta

Hel

I never imagined you'd break through the

mind control to come in and land a punch.

You said she was the most important

thing in the world to you.

That's just--

I really appreciate you

professing your love,

but weren't you trying to damage

the face of that person you love?

I made you cry

Siesta Is it you?

No! I won't allow

such a ludicrous thing.

This willfully

taking over my body

Be quiet. I'm speaking with him now.

Siesta You

Sidekick There's no time,

so listen carefully.

The truth is, my heart is of

a slightly exceptional make.

I pondered over various schemes,

but couldn't come up with

another way besides this.

If it were only about

defeating her, I could have.

If it were only about k*lling her,

it would have been simple.

But she--Alicia--said that she wanted

to live, wanted to attend school.

Therefore, I've infiltrated this body

and suppressed Hel's consciousness.

That was the one and only method

that could save Alicia.

But that's That doesn't mean

Because protecting a client's

interests is a detective's job.

Siesta, so from the beginning you--

I've told you:

A real detective gets a handle on

a case before the incident occurs.

I knew some time ago

that it would come to this.

How? How could you?

You can't just decide something

like this all on your own.

If I had said anything,

you would've stopped me, Kimi.

I have a favor to ask you.

The answer's no.

Hear me out.

I refuse.

How stupid are you, Kimi?

This is no time to be obstinate.

If I suppress Hel's fiendish intentions,

Alicia's personality is sure

to awaken again in this body.

Alicia?

She may once again have lost her memory.

Even if she has, I want you

to seek her cooperation,

and, in time, bring down SPES.

But that means your consciousness

will be snuffed out along with Hel!

I won't allow such a thing! That's not

the kind of resolution I'd wish for!

I don't care in what form--

even as an enemy is fine--

as long as you as long as your

consciousness stays alive somewhere

I thought you'd say that. But it's fine.

Alicia has something I don't have.

With her, things will go great

for you, I'm sure of it.

Stop willfully driving the conversation

forward! I still haven't--

I wonder if this is also some

form of synchronicity.

Pollen So that's it That culture

festival, the Hanako-san incident

"Hanako-san is coming for you!"

Pollen So that's it That culture

festival, the Hanako-san incident

Pollen So that's it That culture

festival, the Hanako-san incident

That drug that so horribly

afflicted my middle school

So that was derived from a flower

that blooms on this thing's body

But as a side effect, cases of

memory impairment also occur.

No I don't want to forget.

It'll be all right. Well, it's possible

you may forget a few things.

But even so, you won't forget me, Kimi.

You'll never cast aside our mission.

You'll keep doing the work for me,

together with Alicia, sighing,

"This is absurd" all the while.

That's unacceptable I refuse.

I'm your sidekick. I won't go and

become a partner of anyone else.

At the very end, you say such

gratifying things for me.

I don't want to forget

about you ever

It'll be all right.

It's like we said:

We got through it all by trusting each

other more than we trusted ourselves.

So you're insisting

I trust what you're saying?

That's it. Until now, has there ever

been a time I was wrong?

No, there hasn't. Not a single time.

You've always been right.

You were too right.

That's why, for once

I wanted you to be wrong.

Next time you wake up, I'm sure

I'll already be gone, but

Do you hear me? I won't forget you!

Even if my consciousness is stripped

away by a fiendish enemy,

you're the one thing I won't forget, Kimi!

It may take time A week, a month,

a year! It may take a long time.

But nevertheless, this body will come to

meet you, without fail, one more time!

Absolutely.

Absolutely!

That's right

That's what Siesta said: "Together with

Alicia, take down SPES for me."

That was her final wish. And

A ribbon sounds nice

I'd also love to wear one

and try attending a real school.

Natsunagi is

k*ll I'll k*ll you I'll k*ll you!

However cruel reality may be

I won't run from it anymore.

Until I've fulfilled my

promise to Siesta, I'll

How stupid are you, Kimi?

Hand-to-hand combat against a monster?

You can't even call that "rash"--

more like "madness."

You'll now be unable

to attack me ever again.

It's been a long time.

Yeah. Have you had enough

of napping Siesta?
