01x06 - Crimson Devil, Ice Queen

[bunniefuu]

Sidekick!

You are the most burdensome sidekick ever.

Your "it's whatever" act towards me

feels pretty forced at this point.

"Episode 6"

"Crimson Devil, Ice Queen"

Siesta How did you

procure such a thing?

Oh, it was just kind of

lying abandoned in the street?

Don't lie! No way something like

this was lying by the roadside.

I'm telling you, it's true!

There's certainly no way that I got

so disturbed at your being abducted

that I vigorously wrangled

with the government

to borrow Sirius, a humanoid weapon

that had been in covert development.

You've been busier than I thought.

Siesta, you were too,

too desperate to save me.

I told you, that's not what happened.

This is too much.

The way you're going back and forth

so heatedly with my future partner

I'm getting jealous.

Hel, why are you fomenting

this sort of terrorism?

Why? It's because it's my destiny.

I merely abide by the Sacred Writ.

No. What I'm asking about

is your own intent.

My intent? That's what I mean--

it's to bring about the future

that's inscribed in the Sacred Writ.

That alone is the meaning of my existence.

I was born only for that purpose.

Is that so? But still

I won't let you go any further

with your designs for this city.

Do you truly believe you can stop me?

Stop destiny?

Sidekick!

So cramped

Well, it's made to seat one.

If you take advantage of this as a chance

to touch somewhere unseemly,

you'll earn my full contempt.

Do you have zero faith in your sidekick?

Right, here we go. Sirius, charge!

I never dreamed you'd gone so far

as to create a monster like this.

And as for you, you needlessly impede us.

That's because it's my mission.

Siesta!

It's fine, I won't let them

get away. Hold on.

Rocket hands!

Shouldn't that tone of voice

be used to say "punch"?

Is there a problem here?

You're just too, too persistent.

You said something earlier

Impeding us was your mission, you said.

So why do you work as a detective?

Why do you protect people?

It's because you were born for that

particular existence, nothing more.

It's the same. I'm the same.

Just as you were born to defend the world,

I was born to destroy the world.

I'm merely obeying the instincts

I was born with.

So you're saying that we're,

in essence, the same,

and what's more, that there's no

difference between good and evil?

A difference between good and evil?

It doesn't matter to me if there is one.

You're good, I'm evil--

that's fine with me.

I can live with that.

Siesta!

Sidekick

Now we fly.

Eh?

Engines, full throttle!

Can't allow that!

Sidekick

Whatever happens after this,

clear out of this place immediately.

Siesta, what are you saying?

Siesta why?

Siesta!

Siesta Hey, where are you, Siesta?

Are you stupid or something?

You had no right to say anything before.

You're way too desperate about me, Kimi.

I'm positive I told you before,

whatever happens, to clear out immed--

You're the stupid one.

Why did you act so recklessly?

Why did you send me away?

It was purely as a last resort.

I had no intention of dying here either.

But if only one of us could

survive, in that case, I--

Stop that nonsense!

Listen, three years ago, on that plane,

you asked me to join you.

That being so, you need to look

after me, till the bitter end!

Sorry, but in your absence, I have no

confidence I can escape from SPES.

I can't survive without you!

Do you understand? If you do

live up to your obligations

to the very end and protect me!

In my entire life, this is the first time

anyone's ever shouted at me this much.

So you do get worked up like this.

What can I say?

It makes me smile.

It makes you smile?

"I can't survive without you," huh?

Hey, stop cherry-picking peculiar

phrases out of context.

Once again I've been hit

with an ardent proposal.

I haven't proposed!

Well, once you turn 18,

give it another try.

I told you I-- Whatever.

I vow to you

Eh?

I won't go off and willfully die without

saying a word to you. Absolutely not.

Sidekick!

Not yet

I can't die yet.

Hel.

It's not my destiny

to die in a place like this.

I'm the one who wins in the end. If not

The significance Father gave

to me respective to this

I see, you

With this, I'll finish it. You won't be

able to move a single step from there

and my blade will run you through.

Get out of the way, Siesta!

Hel's power Siesta!

How?

Checkmate.

Why did I lose?

This wasn't supposed to

I had a mission

Was fighting for a mission A mission

Why was I born? Why was I?

Find your answers in Hell.

Chameleon!

A partner?

I won't let her escape!

Her body vanished

Probably a power of the partner

she just called out to.

Chameleon

Sidekick

I'm sorry.

These apples aren't very juicy.

Don't complain when I'm handfeeding you.

There's no way around that, right?

Since I injured myself.

Your leg, yes. Your hands

are available, right?

In the desperate battle of a few

days before, during a fall,

Siesta sustained a leg injury that will

take a couple of weeks to fully heal.

Ordinarily, we'd have needed

to pursue Hel in all haste,

but with Siesta like this,

there's nothing to be done.

Are you all right, Kimi?

Taking diligent care of a self-indulgent

partner like this doesn't faze me.

Oh? That's good.

Don't ignore the sarcasm

I put so much effort into.

I'm fine, but hurry up and recover from

that. I'm no good at domestic work.

We're living together,

just as you've dreamed of.

Shouldn't you enjoy it just a little?

Don't call it "living together."

It's a tactical bunking-up.

Also, it's good that you improve

your practical life skills a little.

What will you do when I'm gone?

Hey, that's off-limits.

That's right; I'm going to

get shouted at again.

Are you going out?

You'd prefer juicier ones, right?

What? Why are you laughing?

Kimi you like me too,

too much, don't you?

Huh? I don't know what you mean

Huh? No, just Wha--?

I had no idea you'd get so flustered.

Shut up, you ignoramus!

Cripes. I'm not going

to spoil her ever again.

Huh?

What to do

It's been a while since I've gotten

caught up in a mundane problem like this.

Oh

Hm?

I'm going to be attacked.

Huh?

I'm going to be attacked.

I've got an intensely bad feeling

about this, but I guess I'll ask.

Who are you going to be attacked by?

By you!

However, you might have

your way with me physically,

but if you think you can also take control

of my heart, you're very mistaken!

And I'm immediately hit with

baseless suspicions. This is absurd.

Sorry, but I'm not interested in children.

Who are you calling a child?!

Now, now. Cool down a little.

In this type of situation,

introductions would be a good start.

My name is Kimihiko Kimizuka.

What's yours?

I'm

Alicia?

Why was that in question form? Did you

come from Wonderland or something?

I'm hungry.

This conversation is really

lacking in continuity.

Are they good?

Yeah, they're delicious--really sweet!

That's--! Did you eat all of those?

So, where are we?

"Where are we?" Didn't you choose

this yourself as a place to sleep?

I don't know.

Amnesia

Eh?

Is there anything you remember?

I only remember that I'm

17 years old as of this year.

Hurry up and forget that because

you've definitely got that wrong.

Where are you looking

when you say that?

I took her for an ordinary runaway,

but this seems more

complicated than I thought.

For starters, we're going to the police.

Sidekick? Are you back?

Uh, yeah. And what are you doing?

I thought I'd make apple pie,

since you said you were going out

just to buy more for me.

Ah. Um, so, Siesta It's just

Since you seem to care

about me quite a bit,

call it a sense of obligation,

as a crush-ee.

I thought I'd do this much for you.

So where are the apples?

Umm, the thing is

Kimizuka!

Aren't there any smaller towels?

You lolicon.

Now I understand the situation.

Darjeeling, eh? It smells great.

Yeah. It goes wonderfully with apple pie.

You'd better believe you'll never

see me in an apron again, Kimi.

My, oh my, you can't mean that.

That's the one and only thing I've looked

forward to in life. I am so sad.

Yikes, sorry! I swear I'll

make this up to you later!

This apple-free apple pie is tasty.

Come on!

More pertinently, you should've

brought her to me from the start.

Isn't a missing girl

suffering from amnesia

exactly the sort of thing

for a detective to handle?

True enough.

You said Alicia, right? You really don't

know your own full name or anything?

No, the fact that I'm 17 years old

as of this year is about all.

Seven years old--I see.

Seventeen!

Well, in reality, you must be

about 12 or 13.

That's the sense I get from

the development of her calves.

This is not the place for

showing off your peculiar fetishes.

Alicia, we'll take on the responsibility

of verifying your true identity.

But I'm not saying we'll do it for free.

Hey, Siesta, we're going to

take money from a child?

That's irrelevant; a child still counts

as one human being, and what's more,

I believe nothing is as unreliable

as uncompensated good intentions.

I guess that's true.

What can I do, then?

Alicia, I want you to do the work

of a detective in my place.

The work of a detective?

Siesta, whatever your intentions,

isn't that too heavy a burden?

That could be, but

I get it. The legendary detective is

currently closed for business, right?

But in that case, having me

take on the detective role

and Alicia work as sidekick would be--

No, that doesn't How can I put it?

You just have the face of a sidekick.

That's absurd.

If you've accepted this, we'll commit to

covering your food, clothing, and shelter.

But I'm not sure I have the confidence

to suddenly be a detective.

If you become a detective, you can order

your sidekick around however you please.

Hurray! I'll do it! I want to play

the role of legendary detective!

That was an appalling

negotiation I just watched.

So, specifically, what type

of work should I--?

Our Jack the Ripper seems

to have been resurrected.

Fuubi-san? Why? I thought

you went back to Japan.

Yeah, I recalled some minor business

I had to take care of.

More to the point

When did you two pop out a child?

--You need to get your eyes checked.

--You should get your eyes checked.

To backtrack, when you say our Jack

the Ripper's been resurrected

Yup. Yesterday, another new victim

of heart harvesting was discovered.

The M.O. also resembles

the previous cases.

That's madness

That night, Cerberus was

Hel.

Truth is, we have some information

that may be useful in pursuing her.

It's still only a rumor,

but we're hearing that an object

that could lead to bringing down

SPES is here in the city.

We're hearing that people refer

to it as the "Eye of Sapphire."
