[bunniefuu]

Gosh...

It's safe to say
a D2 attack took place here.

And it happened recently too.

It's awful.

It's like we've gone back
to four years ago.

I doubt we'll be able to find sweets

or any other supplies.

Right.

But, more importantly...

We're having a serious conversation here.

Stop drumming your fingers, it's annoying!

Is something the matter?

Takt...

What's wrong with you recently?

You've been like this for a while now.

Is there something I should know?

Currently, we don't have
any deployable Musicarts.

Pass that on.

Poor thing, he looked like
he was going to cry just now.

The land there is barren
and the people are poor.

They hardly produce anything.

They're only surviving
because of support from the state.

Do you know what such a place is called?

A garbage dump.

You're so mean.

I'm one of the Conductors
who protect this world.

Not only that, the grand maestro
has made me head commander.

That's why I bear
such a huge responsibility.

I'm responsible for deciding
how our limited resources are used.

Come in.

GM Sagan wants to see you.

I'll come right away.

What do you mean?

Exactly what I said.

I want you to stay away from him.

You seem to think he's dangerous,

and that he ought to be detained.

Yes sir.

Takt Asahina is using his Conductor powers

for his own desires.

If we let him run loose, he'll...

I disagree with you on this.

He's a rare talent.

We'll definitely need
his power in the future.

We don't need the power of such a person.

As long as I'm here,
there'll be no problems...

You're not enough.

Stay out of this matter from now on.

He calls that rubbish a "rare talent"?

He needs him more than me?

That's ridiculous.

Completely ridiculous!

Takt Asahina...

Excuse me, did something happen?

Something happened alright.

It's the D2s.

Several towns have been attacked

these past few days.

Those god-forsaken things!

We hoped we'd never see them again.

But they're back after just a few years.

They're as nasty as a cold pork chop.

You think so too,

right?

Well...

Who are all these people?

They came here seeking refuge.

Poor people.

They've lost their hometowns.

But, this place isn't safe either.

Just yesterday,

someone saw a D2 in the mountains nearby.

I'd love to blow
their damn heads off with this thing.

Then allow me to blow
their heads off for you.

I'm Destiny, a Musicart.

-You're a Musicart?
-Yes.

I can protect this town from the D2.

Oh, Jesus.

Is that okay, Takt?

Hey, Takt.

Did you say something?

We're in the next room.

Call us if anything happens.

I've had enough of you.

Can you please stop drumming your fingers?

That tapping is driving me crazy.

Takt!

We're fully aware
you're a severe music idiot,

but you're obviously acting strange now.

What has happened to you? Please tell us.

Tell... you?

Yes.

I want to know what you're thinking.

Fine...

This is the reason.

Is there something wrong
with these music sheets?

I'm composing...

What? What did you say?

Please speak more clearly.

We can't hear that tiny voice.

I said...

I'm composing a music piece!

-You're composing music?
-Yeah.

That's amazing.

But what brought this on?

Music contains people's feelings.

It has a history of its own.

The Asahina sound

lives on in you.

Nothing.

It's not unusual for musicians
to work on their own stuff.

Hang on, do you think
this is my first time composing music?

You've composed before? I didn't know.

How many pieces have you composed?

None. This is my first time.

First I should choose a theme.

No, perhaps I shouldn't
follow typical methods.

It's been a while
since he's been like this.

It's like when we were at that house.

No, that's way too trite.

Darn it.

-May I come in?
-No.

Are you sure?

I thought it would be
difficult to compose empty-handed,

so I asked the motel staff

for something you can play.

Is there a piano here?

Well...

something similar to a piano.

Look, you can play this.

Pretty good, right?

It's better than nothing.

Maestro.

That's a superb frown you're wearing.

I gathered that
you're having trouble composing.

D2s appeared, right?

Why didn't you call me?

There'd be no point in calling you.

What?

Because you're distracted now.

I can't imagine
you'd be helpful in a battle.

Simply put, you'll get in the way.

Oh really?

Then I suppose you defeated
the D2s by yourself, huh?

I believe you're aware of my capabilities.

The D2s feared my power,
and fled into the mountains.

That means you failed to defeat them.

You're definitely not your usual self.

Whatever,
talking to you just wears me out.

Then I'll take my leave.

I have an important engagement after this.

Engagement?

Maybe I should take a walk.

Dad.

How do you make a song?

The important point is
who I want to listen?

What does that mean?

There she is...

What the heck am I doing?

Here you go.

I've brought them.

The products you requested.

I'm so sorry to trouble you.

No, I was the one who offered.

Do not worry.

That brat is helping people?

No way...

Good boy.

And this is a gift from me.

Candy?

I highly recommend it.

It has a superb sweetness.

He seems to like it.

Thank you.

Isn't she a kind young woman?

Not at all,
shopping is an incredibly easy task.

I have a lot of experience helping people.

You're so reliable.

Well? Surprised?

You... Why are you here?

I happened to spot a suspicious person

acting like a stalker.

Why is she doing that?

Is it surprising that she does
other things aside from defeating D2s?

She was the one
who said that was her sole mission.

That was before.

But she's different now.

She has encountered many things
on this journey.

Those encounters
changed her little by little.

Maybe it's called growing.

It happens slowly, but surely.

You've influenced her a lot too.

What do you mean?

She told me

that she likes your piano.

She said that?

Yes.

The one who got the melodica for you

wasn't actually me.

She got that for you herself.

Why?

Perhaps she's trying to support you.

There'd be no point in calling you.

-Bye-bye.
-She's such a kind girl.

It makes me so happy to watch her grow.

I feel that from the bottom of my heart.

However, I still can't help but think...

that she might

still be Cosette.

Is that right? I got it.

Thank you for informing me.

Are we going there next?

Yes.

But this place...

Aren't Takt and the others there?

Let's head there too.

Hey.

Swallow before you speak.

What can I do for you?

Well...

How should I put it...

It happened yesterday too.

It's rare that you two act separately.

You were always together previously.

Previously, that was the case.

But we act separately recently.

You're always daydreaming,
so I'm not surprised you haven't noticed.

Did something happen?

I don't know.

But there is one obvious difference

in her attitude from before.

She has stopped calling me Cosette.

Still, she doesn't call me Destiny either.

Who exactly... was Cosette?

I heard that her body
was used to create me.

Why do you ask me?

Because you don't call me Destiny either.

Did the three of you
know each other for a long time?

Who was Cosette to Sister Anna?

What was her relationship with you...

Stop it.

Understood.

Who exactly... was Cosette?

Who do I want to listen?

sh**t it!

sh*t! Are our b*ll*ts
as useless as a puppy peeing?

Damn you to Hell!

They've come.

Let's do this.

Yes, Maestro.

Let the show begin!

Finish it.

Jesus.

Are there any more?

Over there.

Several of them.

You're terribly pale.

It's more than just lack of sleep, right?

I'm fine.

Just concentrate on fighting them.

What is it?

A large number of D2s
have gathered at one place.

What did you say...

You must be somewhat surprised.

To see the head commander
of the Symphonica here...

To see me here!

Why...

I wanted to show you something.

It's awesome, isn't it?

This is the power of my Musicart.

The power of Hell.

Her power?

This sound attracts the D2.

Just like the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

One especially important point

is that it can wake the D2

from their deep sleep.

That's the reason why D2s
are waking up all over the place...

Have you lost your mind?

Purposely awake the D2?

Someone of your tiny intellect
could have never come up with this.

Just think, what if I were to wake the D2
near towns full of garbage people?

The current world is already worn out.

The Earth has lost the strength
to support every human.

What should we do then?

It's simple.

Remove unnecessary consumption.

Remove those who are vulgar.

And gather the chosen ones

in order to create an ideal world.

That's how a country is created.

Got it?

I'm the hero who supports
the world from the shadows!

Hero?

More like psycho.

By the way,

my first time using this power

was in one particular town.

I heard the sound of a piano there.

Later, I was shocked

to find out who it was
that performed such vulgar music.

And I chose to light up
the party in my own way.

Did you like it?

Maestro...

I see...

It was you.

I'll k*ll you.

That's my line.

You're an eyesore,

Takt Asahina.

This is the place,

where I will turn you to dust!
