[bunniefuu]

My brother
has always been pathetic,

just like his power.

There's somebody I can't forgive.

Was he m*rder*d
by Yoriyuki Marukami?

His dreams...
are scarier than anybody else's.

All of us...
We can't live away from the village.

I want to know the truth.

So work with me.

Why did you decide
to become a cleaner?

I feel like it relates to my ability.

Previously on Land of Tanabata

No way...

- I see something.
- What is that?

Your eyes... You might want to close them.

- Huh?
- What just happened?

Look.

- Terrorism?
- This is crazy.

An expl*si*n?

- Run.
- Run!

It's dangerous here.

It's dangerous here!

Hurry!

Hurry! Just hurry!

Where could it have...

- No! Oh, no!
- Come on!

Why go this far?

Just a little more...

I will end the nightmares.

Land of Tanabata

A mysterious large expl*si*n

caused the upper floors of
the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building

in Shinjuku to disappear
as if they had been sliced off.

Rescue operations are ongoing,
and over 200 people are reported missing.

The government has hinted that...

Did...

Yoriyuki do this?

Of course not!

He was a priest who protected
this village. How could he?

Who else could it be?

Furthermore, numerous witnesses
reported seeing a giant black sphere

floating in the sky over the Shinjuku area
just before the expl*si*n.

Investigations are ongoing to see
if this was connected to the expl*si*n.

At the time of the expl*si*n...

Mom...

Please...

Help Yoriyuki.

Please.

In a press conference held by
Chief Cabinet Secretary Mochida earlier,

it was announced
that preparations are underway

to declare a state of emergency
for the Tokyo metropolitan area.

In response to the current situation,
Prime Minister Osanai stated that

in addition to police investigations,
the implementation of security measures

at Self-Defense Force facilities
is also being considered.

Don't come any closer!

You're about to go Beyond the Window!

Okay, everyone, due to the state
of emergency being declared,

there's going to be
a large-scale lockdown in Tokyo.

The government has issued a notice
for businesses to suspend operations.

We're really sorry,
but we'll have to stop business activities

and ask everyone to stay at home.

Stay at home?

But everything's going to be all right!

There's nothing to worry about, okay?

What is this? A w*r or something?

How are we supposed
to feed ourselves?

If anyone
is considering leaving Tokyo...

"Sachiko Higashimaru
Are you all right?"

...we'll handle your case separately,
so just let us know. Okay?

Also...

we're planning prompt measures for work
starting tomorrow and beyond.

Please wait for further communication.

I can't believe it.

Why do such a thing?

The level of this power. It has to be...

No way.

Yoriyuki would never do such a thing.

There must be...

"I'm okay here."

...some kind of reason.

Yes.

She says she simply must talk to you.

Thank you for helping out
the Marukawa townspeople in Tokyo.

I appreciate them coming all this way.

As head of the Higashimaru family,

what do you think
about the recent incident in Tokyo?

Somebody has used their power
outside the village.

Are you...

talking about Takashi Higashimaru?

No, not Takashi.

He's not capable of that.

Then who is it?

Do you think they might be involved?

How could they not be involved?

Right now, we know about the ability

of those Within Reach in that village.

That means there must be
something we can do.

Something we can do...

Ms. Sayuri Emi

I'm going to Marukawa Town,
to search for clues.

You mustn't.
Why would you do something so dangerous?

Is it because you're a researcher?

Before that...

I'm a person living
in this society, aren't I?

You two go home.

I'll suspend this seminar for a while.

I'm coming too.

Me too.

I've come this far. I can't stop now.

I'll contact Nanmaru too.

What?

Yo. Welcome home.

Sir...

Money for the repairs.

I couldn't get in, you see. Sorry.

That's not the problem.

That incident...

Yoriyuki Marukami was behind it,
wasn't he?

Perhaps.

Perhaps?

You were with him, weren't you?

Don't you understand what he did?
People have...

So many people have died!

He says...

that he wants to put an end
to the gloom in his heart.

That he wants to end the nightmares.

Nightmares?

As for me...

I'm glad I'm not a Window Opener.

What do you mean?

How's Sachiko?

What?

I might not be able
to see her for a while.

I came here
to ask you for a favor.

Tell Sachiko...

Tell Sachiko...

when you next see her...

that I'm sorry.

Tell her I said that.

Sachiko too...

She said she wanted
to apologize to you too.

She said...

that you're not really a person
who can commit m*rder.

I see.

Oh, yeah. One more thing.

Why are you taking action by yourself?

Have you forgotten our deal?

Boring.

What was that?

I've had enough.

I'm going to do as I please.

Tell me, what was it you wanted to do?

I'm canceling our deal.

You crazy monster.

Aki has been kidnapped?

She was probably following me.

Serves her right.

Why are you telling me?

Because I felt gloom in my heart.

Here.

They're around here
Warehouse, connected

What's with this awful map?

Hey.

Wake up.

Did you do this?

Sorry about that.

k*lling you two would be easy,
but there'd be a lot to handle afterward.

With the weak yen,
we need to save money too.

Still though, the situation has changed.

We can't deal with the bodies here.

k*ll the girl for now,

and help carry her body.

N-No...

Here. Aim properly.

Hello?

That man contacted you?

Yes.

He pulled out of the deal last night.

Okay. I'll be right there.

Leave them here.

We'll deal with them when we get back.

Let's go.

What was that?

Aki!

Nanmaru...

Hey!

Who are you?

Let go! Darn you!

Let go!

Nanmaru!

Thank you.

One, two...

Are you all right?

Are you okay?

Hey!

Has something happened?

Can you stand?

One, two...

It hurts.

What's the matter?

I...

Could have k*lled somebody.

That was...

It's my fault.

Back then...

if you hadn't stopped me...

...I could have...

Masumoto told me.

That you pulled out of the deal.

These strange incidents
that have been occurring...

Are they your doing too?

The recent one
was interesting, wasn't it?

What are you thinking?

Tell me your goal!

I hardly ever get work
from you, and when I do, it's boring.

Surely not...

That's your reason?

I needed to experiment.

Size, speed...

How much directional accuracy
I could maintain...

I thought you were
more sensible than this.

I thought you might say that.

Anyway...

Thanks for everything.

However...

in a few minutes, you'll be thinking this...

"Once a person owns a pet,

they should bear responsibility
until the end."

Understood.

- Let's move fast.
- Yes, sir.

He's like a nuclear weapon now.

I must take action.

To the Prime Minister's office! Hurry!
