Can you really track him down from academic papers?
It would be hard to do clinical trials for artificial hearts of that kind, yeah?
Well, putting it in only to have it fail would be a big deal.
So Alan Institute gave them an opportunity to illicitly experiment with it.
I see. Since Lycoris don't have family registries, they're perfect for the job.
There has to be something that sparked Alan to discover the researchers.
Kurumi.
What?
- Squeak... Squeak... - This, uh... perverted guy, and...
I guess I should put an end to it after all.
LycoReco will be closing down.
I feel bad taking so much time away from everyone for my sake.
And this place has to be a fun place until the very end!
Are you okay with that, though?
I was planning to do so to begin with.
This has been running longer than I had expected, too.
Right, Mizuki?
Now, everyone follow Takina's footsteps, and return to the paths you came from!
Hey, you! Mizuki, where will you go?
I guess I'll go meet that hunk in Vancouver that I met on a dating website.
Wow! Let me see.
Whoa, he's ripped.
And you, Kurumi?
In this country, my life is in danger without you.
DA is after you, too.
I'm going to leave this country.
Then you should go to Germany!
Germany?
More board-games?
Yeah! The best place for them! They have big competitions there too.
Then you should come with me. I can make a ticket for you and stuff.
Oh, that's an option.
But Teach will get lonely, so I can't!
Do invite Takina someday, though.
Yeah.
Starting with the weapons deal in April,
the Metro as*ault, Lycoris murders, the police station as*ault...
The mastermind behind all of these cases is this man named Majima.
He's a globetrotting warmonger.
He was confirmed to be in our country ten years ago as well,
in the Radio Tower incident that everyone knows about.
I had thought all of them had been ex*cuted.
She's been wearing a st uniform from when she was such a little kid.
Majima has received requests from several mafia groups domestically and internationally.
He's after Enkuboku.
We captured one of the clients, and identified the location where Majima is in hiding.
We will att*ck with full force.
Find him, and k*ll him.
Heart, huh?
I have a good idea about your relationship now.
What a sad little misunderstanding.
And you're quite the sinful one, too.
I'm sure she'd be so disappointed if the Mister Yoshi she idolizes so much is someone like this.
I really sympathize with her.
But, thanks to that, my life was spared at the Radio Tower.
That's why I warned you, Alan Institute!
I didn't betray you, okay?
Meddling with things because they aren't going as planned is against Alan's rules, yeah?
Are you gonna be okay?
It was my mistake that she strayed from her path.
I must take responsibility.
Then, are you gonna k*ll me too?
You're an excellent Children.
Were a thousand g*ns enough for you?
Don't patronize me.
I'm just like her, you know? I live how I want to live.
So I might do as I please and k*ll you. Is that gonna be all right?
If that means it’ll fulfill Alan's ideals, I am willing to sacrifice my life.
You really are disgusting.
You're just like DA.
Sneaking in the shadows and trying to manipulate the world with egocentric "Sense of Justice."
You're next after DA, Alan Institute.
Where's your HQ?
Well?
You can head to the airport this time without hiding inside a suitcase.
What's wrong? You're ruining your cute face.
Thanks for taking care of me.
What's this? This isn't like you.
You fare well too, Mizuki.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm trusting you'll take care of Chisato.
Yeah.
Don't be unreasonable, okay? Our old man is pretty ancient, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, let’s go.
Well, I guess we should start cleaning up, Teach.
We can't do anything about it. This is what Chisato wants.
I didn't say anything, did I?
We still have Takina.
Are you Majima's client?
I already told you guys everything. His target is Enkuboku.
Were you the one who provided the weapons?
That again?
Even if we had a thousand g*ns, if we don't have enough soldiers, then it’s meaningless.
Then was it Yoshimatsu?
Yoshimatsu? Who's that?
So this is a Lycoris.
To think brats like this have been k*lling my buddies.
Stop!
I was fired once for k*lling too many people.
I did like the life outside of here, so I don't mind getting fired again.
I don't know a Yoshimatsu! I really don't know!
Then, what about the g*ns?
Alan! He said it was from Alan!
You mean the Alan Institute?
No idea. That's all I know!
My shoulder!
So it was Yoshimatsu.
Hey, hold it, brat! I'll k*ll you!
Construction of Enkuboku is finally wrapping up.
NOTICE Thank you very much for your patronage! We have decided to close our doors for a while. We can’t thank our customers enough for taking the time and visiting us. LycoReco Management
With the completion ceremony scheduled for tomorrow,
preparations are underway in the area surrounding the venue.
Hey, I was watching that.
Sheesh, we’re supposed to be cleaning.
Hey, it's Riki! He was so cute.
Hey, Teach. What are you going to do now?
I guess I'm heading to the realtors tomorrow morning.
I don't mean that. You could hire part-time workers to keep this café going.
Is that what you want me to do?
How long are you going to be there?
Oh, okay.
I'm going to close up now.
I have to properly bid farewell to this café, too.
Don't overexert yourself.
You see through it all, Teach.
I really do feel lonely.
Should I brew some coffee?
Please do!
Bravo, green. Delta, green. Charlie, green.
Looks like he already got away.
Alpha one, all green.
Whoa! There sure are a lot of you. Is this like a school trip?
Lower your weapons!
Majima.
Huh? Oh, we have the chaperoning teacher here, too.
Who the hell are you?
The one commanding your death, Majima.
I guess I don't need to introduce myself.
So you're the Lycoris's kingpin?
What are you after? Money?
That too. I have to worry about how my buddies live after all.
But more than that, I took this job because it piqued my interest.
Interest? In abetting the mafia?
Interest in the kind of people who are villains, but pretend to be heroes for justice.
You guys are the villains.
The ruler for good or evil, in the present age, is the law.
Do you guys exist under the law?
We have existed from before those laws were created.
We surpass government structures
and have been nurturing the peace and morals of this nation.
Hurry and identify the origin of communication.
Roger.
The enemy is changing hosts every five seconds.
Surpass the structures? Who exactly do you think you are?
Radiata has started predicting the next host.
I have no intention on talking about that.
In the end, the interests of this country are being preserved.
Is that what you call Machiavellianism? So old-fashioned.
I wonder what the public would think if they found out stuff like that is going unpunished.
No need to worry.
True peace is a world where the presence of villains are not even felt.
You will also disappear without entering anyone's memory.
With information control that you're so good at?
But you know, won't people forget the meaning of peace if they don't know of the tragic reality?
And it's something that isn't given to them, but something they have to win and earn.
What an intelligent thing to say.
So a villain can't bear the recognition that he himself is evil?
I'm just worried about you, you know?
The scales of good and evil
should not be controlled by the likes of you, regardless of which way it swings.
The balance must be restored.
Is that the reason you're going after Enkuboku?
You see through that far?
It's unbalanced unless both of them are broken!
Even if you arm your men with the g*ns you obtained, the results will be the same as ten years ago.
You think so? Will she help you out again?
Commander, we still need more time to trace the host. Please keep stalling.
Stop it.
Peace out, kingpin of the Lycoris.
Hey!
Hold it!
Takina!
Oh, Miss Black Hair. It's been a while.
You went back over there?
Where’s Yoshimatsu?
What? It's about Mister Yoshi for you too? Man, he's really popular.
I have no interest in you. Tell me where Yoshimatsu is.
I don't have interest in you, either.
So, make yourself at home.
Damn it, we're at our limit. Sever the comms!
The coffee I left there should still be warm.
Wait!
Line has been disconnected.
We have obtained the final host.
The last access point used was Kamata in Ota Ward.
Hold on! What's with this? Why!?
Well, I have some personal—
Where am I supposed to draw my manga from now on!?
I can't find a café as quiet as this anywhere.
Anyways, you have to come back. That's a promise, okay?
Isn't this a bit too sudden, Master?
Let's not close down, okay?
S-Seriously?
I-I'm so tired.
But it kinda cheers us up. Right?
Indeed.
ENKUBOKU COMPLETION CEREMONY
- Amazing! - So awesome.
The security Lycoris have all taken their places.
And now, we would like to begin the Enkuboku Completion Ceremony.
ENKUBOKU COMPLETION CEREMONY
Governor Onuma, go ahead!
It’s that box.
How long haven't you touched this?
A r*fle?
It's yours. Open it.
Should we lock up? Another patron might drop by.
No, it's fine. It's not a w*apon.
A kimono?
Your Sunday clothes, so to say.
Though it's a bit early for your coming-of-age ceremony.
H-Hey!
So? How is it?
Yes, I got a good picture.
No, that's not what I'm talking about. What do you think, Teach?
Oh. You look wonderful, of course.
You're a grown woman now.
Well...
Thanks, Teach!
I haven't done anything to earn your appreciation, though.
Come on now.
You're the one who gave me my name. And the one who taught me how to sh**t g*ns.
And why this café exists. And how I was able to meet Takina.
And most of all, you're the one who found Mr. Yoshi for my sake, right?
Hey! Can you send Mr. Yoshi the photo you just took?
- I can ask for that— - That's not what I mean!
Wh-What is it, Teach? Why such a loud voice?
Chisato.
There's something about Shinji that I want to talk to you about.
We’ve located Majima’s car.
Begin.
Avoid the ceremony, and lure him to the north.
TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS DUE TO SECURITY
Block every other route heading to Enkuboku.
ENTRANCE CLOSED
NO ENTRY
If he's aiming to destroy, he'll target this location.
Bravo, complete. Charlie, complete. Delta, complete.
Alpha, complete.
Target has passed through the predicted point!
Impossible.
That means we have him cornered.
Surround him!
CONTROL ROOM
I'm leaving the rest up to you, my Hacker.
ENKUBOKU BROADCAST SIGNAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The backdoor was set up for this day!
I asked Shinji to perform the operation back then so I can profit as a commander.
At least, that's how I felt back then.
I'm okay with her staying alive for the time that she's an active Lycoris.
If that's the case, I will accept.
But you have to promise me one thing.
Promise?
I want you to raise her into being the strongest hitman.
Lies.
Lies. All lies! Because Mr. Yoshi said he was a savior who saves people.
Then, why?
I couldn't tell you.
Your admiration for Shinji that kept growing within you turned into power.
It supported your life that could end at any moment.
It was too bright, and fleeting.
Teach.
Was it better for me to tell you?
That how you lived your life was a mistake?
That if you kept k*lling, Shinji would save you again?
Was it better for me to tell you? Tell me, Chisato.
Thank you, Teach.
Thank you for letting me decide.
If you had told me, I'm sure I would have lost.
And I think I would have resigned myself to work as a Lycoris.
And I would have blamed all the bad things and hardships on you and on Mr. Yoshi.
I would hate for that to happen. Yeah. No way.
My job and starting this café. They're all things I decided for myself.
My gratitude for Teach and Mr. Yoshi that allowed that to happen
won't change at all, even after hearing that.
You two are my dads.
TEACH ME MR. SAVIOR
And that feels like the happiest thing ever.
I’m sorry. I'm so sorry...
Come on, Teach. Don't cry.
So what do you think?
Your opinion of me looking like this. Like it?
Yeah. A daughter that I am so proud of.
And now, for the finale of the Enkuboku Completion Ceremony,
ENKUBOKU COMPLETION CEREMONY
we will transmit a broadcasting signal!
At the end of the countdown,
the Enkuboku system will automatically begin the broadcast transmission.
Now everyone, together with me!
Five! Four! Three! Two! One!
Start!
Hey, fools. I came here to Enkuboku with a bit of truth to share.
This is from Enkuboku!
Shut it off.
- Radiata making an approach. Estimated... - What are you up to, Majima?
While other countries are duking it out with terrorism and warfare,
this country is peace itself.
So much that it feels disgusting.
Because the people have a high cultural standard? Japanese people are amazing?
Worthless people always want to take pride in categorizing.
Terrorism has happened multiple times. They've just been covered up.
A hard sell of peace filled with lies and exaggeration.
They put a lid on any impurities.
This country has a bunch of people adhering to such a filthy peace.
And I just don't like it. That's why...
I scattered ones just like this all over the prefecture.
So the thousands of g*ns were for this!
Don't handle civilians with g*ns. Do not fire under any condition!
They're trying to bring the existence of Lycoris out into the open. That's his true objective!
A toy?
You there! Drop the g*n!
Huh? What? No, I'm...
Now, sh**t as you please! And protect yourselves from them!
What you do is all up to you.
A world of truth, with no lies—
ONE MOMENT PLEASE
Broadcast from Enkuboku shutdown complete.
Commander, incoming comm from HQ.
Kusunoki.
What is the meaning of this?
Radiata can control information in any way necessary.
The existence of Lycoris will always be kept secret.
However, your existence has been suggested to everyone in Japan. This was a blunder, no?
Why aren't you deploying Chisato Nishikigi?
Didn't you have her on a leash just for times like this?
Please leave the operation planning to us.
Kusunoki, are you underestimating us?
I will say it one more time.
Deploy Chisato Nishikigi.
That is the only option you have.
A State of Emergency has just been declared.
I repeat.
All citizens should refrain from stepping outside unnecessarily, and be careful of malicious rumors.
Enkuboku has been taken over by t*rrorists,
What is this?
and it seems that the broadcast signal has been h*jacked.
The perpetrator is a male in his s. The police is looking into identifying the individual.
Mika.
Is that you, Kusunoki?
Please put Chisato on the line.
Chisato is quite tied up right now.
Teach, give me that.
Chisato here.
Come to HQ immediately. Meet up with us, and k*ll Majima at Enkuboku.
If you get close to Enkuboku, this guy will die.
The b*mb will go off in one hour.
This is a situation where we need a Lycoris like you.
Many lives are at stake here.
It's bad for us if a Lycoris like you showed up.
His life is on the line, got that?
Is someone there?
N-No.
Kusunoki, we'll call you back.
Good, good. Don't you do anything stupid, okay?
I'm constantly watching over you guys.
It's likely a trap.
But I can't just leave him to die!
I said this earlier, but Shinji is—
It's not that I'm doubting you, Teach.
But I want to see Mr. Yoshi in person, and hear it directly from him.
Looks like I can get rid of the a*mo in the armory.
Bring everything from there.
Teach!
Takina and Fuki will protect Enkuboku.
They're both my outstanding students, just like you.
Yeah!
