02x05 - Three Companies Conflict

[bunniefuu]

Flowers that bloom within the darkness can

only be at peace within the darkness.

Falling flower petals are so beautiful.

Need to let.. Blossoms fall before they bloom.

Sorry to keep you waiting. I made curry rice today.

It looks so delicious. You're the best, bro.

Oh, that's right. Thanks. I gotta go get the sauce.

Oh, I forgot to ask you. You did buy that..

German cake we saw yesterday at that

place near the harbor, right? Oh,

you forgot, didn't you? Jeez, What did I tell you?

I really wanted to have it ready for today.

Oh, sorry. So that cake.. Did you mean.. This one?

Oh, you little rascal. You're gonna get it now.

Hey, watch it. Oh, tickles. Hey. Oh.

Hey, do you really have to work while we eat?

I'm looking over these records from the city police involving Kyoka.

Is it true that she was an orphan

before the port mafia took her in?

Yeah, and there's more to it than that.

It says her parents were k*lled. And the one responsible was

sorry for the wait. I have your case ready.

I also got you the stun g*n, just in case.

With the port Mafia still after you.

You can't be too careful, though. This time,

at least I don't think you have to worry.

What's the job? All you have to do is deliver

this envelope of evidence to a judge in court.

Oh, this is what he looks like.

Understood. I've memorized his face. You're really into this.

Is it cause it's your first job?

The first job I ever had was infiltrating

a building and assassinating two people.

That's right. She's always had to work.

Demon snow is the ability to k*ll.

Only by upholding this responsibility does Kiyoka have any purpose.

I'll do my best. I promise.

Why can't I go in? You need.. A permit.

But they're expecting me right now. If you like,

you can sign in on that form and wait until you're called.

But they're expecting me now. I can't change the rules.

No luck. The judge isn't picking up.

Guess there was some miscommunication. It looks

like we'll have to do something about that guard.

Callan. First, I'll use my charms to

lure him into an isolated area.

And then. Yeah, well, that's not exactly

how we do things at the agency.

In that case, I only know of one other approach.

Hey, where are you going?

I'm just. What happened?

Just where do you.

You want to tell me what all this racket is about?

I have a delivery, sir.

Uh.

Here.

The president settled everything. Apparently he's friends with the judge.

It was all going well until that last part.

Really? Just the last part.

I see you're still holding on to that phone.

I had the service provider make some

changes. It's still important to me.

Kyoka. There's something that I wanted to bring up.

If we knew more about your ability,

how you could control demon snow without the voice from the phone,

you could use it for the agency instead of I won't.

Never. I'm never using it again.

Demon Snow. Punish those who would dare teach kiyoka

.. A world of lies.

Even the blood of vermin is beautiful to behold when it's.

So there's nothing else quite like it.

Wouldn't you agree, my dear? Do you have

any idea how sick with worry I was

when I found out you were gone?

The immense pain of knowing my sweet

child was out there amongst animals like this.

But there's nothing to worry about anymore.

Now that I'm here to protect you.

Everything. Is going to be all right.

She's not going back to the Port Mafia with you.

She's decided that she wants to use

her strengths to work with us at the agency.

I never should have waited for Ojai's permission.

Why didn't I come and get you sooner?

I cannot allow you to remain here

in this festering lair of hypocrisy.

You have been led astray by their

beguiling words and the false promise of a world full of light.

But make no mistake. One day they will

ask you to use demon snow.

I think it's time that we return home, my dear. Wait.

Where are you taking her? A place where she belongs.

Not fast enough.

A second demon.

Perhaps I'll finish my job first.

After all, this is where you die. Stop.

It is the wish of Ojai that all agency operatives be eradicated.

However, I ask that you be made an exception.

And he agreed to spare your life.

Come back with me now. You are

a flower born of darkness and will

only find peace there. You're wrong.

I am not a flower of darkness.

You poor child. She has been blinded by the light.

Blinded by the light that you showed her.

But luckily, all is not lost. I doubt you'd wish to stay if

he is no longer with the agency.

Especially if the boy was k*lled because of you.

All right. I'll come back with you. Just stop this.

Everything I've done is for you, Kiyoka.

One day you'll understand that.

How precious.

Well done, my dear. I never saw it coming for a moment.

I've seen the world of light and I refuse

to go back to a time where it doesn't exist.

I would advise against using that. You know

what will happen if you do?

Demons? No. I ask that you defeat my.

My darling Rosinante. The roads in this country are too narrow.

Well, then we'll just have to walk.

I'd really like to finish this job so we can go back.

It's been four years since I've been outside.

All right, then. Let's go. Our luggage is about to arrive.

Finally you reveal.. Your true nature.

You k*ll anyone who dares stand in your way.

Just like a demon. You're wrong.

I understand your denial. But a flower

that has bloomed within the darkness can

only be at peace within the darkness.

Do you know why I know this?

There was a woman who also sought the light.

But it b*rned her and she fell into darkness.

You are coming home. But I don't want to go back.

Even if you're right, I can't. You cannot change your true nature.

And you will always justify k*lling when it serves your goals.

That is why you've been able to wield your abilities so deftly.

You have always made good use of your demons.

You used it to k*ll your parents.

Why? Why Kiyoka?

He will never understand.

No one who lives in this world of light could.

You no longer have to wield that blade

in search of a place where you belong.

I will protect you from now on.

Watch your heads, please.

Man. It flew so.. Far.

Are you okay, Mr. Kunikida? Why are you here?

I made some adjustments to Kyoko's phone.

It notifies me when someone tries to call it.

Now get up. Why are you acting

like some kind of damsel in distress?

You're a where tiger grow. Some wear balls.

Agency vermin do not shine more of your toxic light on Kyoka.

Well, isn't this just great timing? It's like the split..

Second before a.. Collision. If

we had come a little bit later,

we would have had it easy. You still want in?

I don't care either way. But all

the stairs are making me uncomfortable.

Fine. I guess I'll get out there

and earn my keep on behalf of the Guild.

I'm so tired. I'm really itchy, so tired and itchy.

Are those guys from the Guild? Oh,

keep the middle clear, would you?

Our luggage will be arriving shortly.

What's that?

Really fire.

Oh, that's right. Where are Master Po and Lady Louisa?

Those two have an acute fear of heights.

So they decided to stay behind. They should just die.

That was a really easy job. Wouldn't you agree, Reverend?

Lord in heaven have mercy on the wicked.

Where am I? I remember we were att*cked. Well, well.

That's quite a fatal injury you've got there, Atsushi.

Are you ready for your treatment?

I'll use this one today.

Seriously, What am I.. Going to do with you guys?

If you didn't have me around, you'd

all be six feet under right about now.

How are you all feeling. President? I apologize.

I was too careless. It's fine. I'm heading out.

Wait. Isn't it too dangerous right now?

Mhm. Well, someone's pretty riled up, it seems.

Now, now, my dear, you really shouldn't be eating all these sweets.

But why not? Sweetness is justice. Even

so. I'll think about..

Trying on that dress you bought me earlier if you let me.

Do you want seconds? Boss, we received

word that the agency got to the scene

ahead of us and took Koya with them.

Now that one of our top five

executives is a hostage, we have to be careful.

Yes, you're correct. All right, Let's k*ll the president of the agency.

A hit job should do the trick.

If we hire outside contractors, we won't have to allocate our forces.

And instead, we can focus on confronting the guild.

Uh. Hey, sister.

Been a while, hasn't it?

Yes, it certainly has been, you vile little traitor.

You, boy, is Keokea safe?

She's missing.

And it's your fault.

What's so funny? I ask that you leave.. This matter to me.

But. Don't worry. I've got this. Now then.

Sorry to get right to the point,

but I'd like to know the Port

mafia's current strategy regarding this conflict. Huh.

Don't tell me you've forgotten our code boy.

Those with loose tongues are the first to die.

Don't tell me you've forgotten how I used

to fill in for your subordinates who were classified as t*rture specialists.

Can you recall a single instance where

a hostage didn't talk after I asked the questions?

I'm sorry to say this won't be very pretty.

All operatives are to leave the company

offices and gather at the former facility.

Do you mean your previous headquarters before you founded the agency?

Only a select few know of that

location, so we should be safe.

We risk being overwhelmed by superior numbers otherwise.

Sounds like the president is prepared to go to w*r.

Hold on. I have visitors. Sir. What's going on?

Sir.

What's wrong? Something happened with the president. Ambushed.

Maybe we should go and help them.

I'm sure he's fine. More importantly, how can..

You be so calm at a time like this?

Try and grab hold of my hand. You'll see why.

That was the first technique he passed down to me.

I've never won a single match against him.

He's not going to lose against a handful of mediocre hit men.

Go back to your master and tell him it was a nice try

and that he would be wise to target me and me alone.

Nice sh*t. I hear the agency is abandoned

their headquarters and have hidden somewhere else.

It's going to be tricky finding their new location.

The port Mafia is on the move as well.

When I was just a boy, I worked

for two years in order to afford a g*n like this.

When I couldn't, I k*lled four people.

And now I own the company that manufactures these same g*ns.

Money is the root of all evil.

Every time you obtain something you desire, you lose something in return.

In time, the world becomes as tiresome

as blue smoke rising from burning leaves.

And that's the reason, John. That I can

honestly say my world has never been brighter.

I'll see to it that this city is mine.

Listen up. The Port Mafia seeks to eradicate the agency.

The guild seeks to usurp the agency.

We must do all we can to protect

ourselves from both of these foes. Darci, please continue.

You got it. The Guild has substantial financial assets,

and the Port Mafia has the benefit of numbers.

So we'll split into defensive and offensive

teams and engage them in guerrilla warfare.

The primary goal for the defensive team

is to make sure Dr. Yoshino is protected

as long as we don't die outright.

Her healing ability can cure our injuries.

The offensive team will split into two

sections and surprise the enemy using Junichiro's

mirage ability and my nullification ability.

The crux of this strategy is to

keep our base of operations hidden.

If our enemies hit us here with

everything they've got, our defenses will never hold.

Boss, our ambush ended in failure. We put

a tail on him, but I don't expect much.

Very good. All according to plan. So then the tracking solution,

the one we put on the assassins clothes.

Signal's coming through loud and clear. Then

I believe we'll find their hideout.

Of the three organizations, only one of us can survive.

Our only option left is to fight. Naturally,
