01x08 - Open the Window, and...

[bunniefuu]

The wall is gone.

Emoto!

Damn it…

Why?

Why am I making the same mistake again?

If you can't focus on the music,
you can't build a "wall".

Am I wrong?

You can't resist fear.

You haven't improved at all
since the last Interclass Battle.

A person's nature is hard to change.

Surrender now and get out of the academy.

Don't ever call yourself
a spirit medium again.

You're absolutely disgusting!

I…

I surr…

Hasumi!

Don't make decisions for Emoto.

Who are you to judge him?

You don't even know what music
he usually listens to.

Fine.

Since you're so close-knit,
you can lose your limbs together.

Why…

Why do you have to go this far?

We're comrades.

I won't allow anyone to be absent.

Class 1-B is the most important home
Kukuru and I found together.

"Sever"!

What's going on?

The moment the slash fell,

Class 1-B suddenly disappeared…

No.

They fell.

Ren…

Where am I?

Wagari.

Don't you know?

A "window"

isn't just for looking outside.

Through that "window"…

He directly teleported
to the location in the photo.

An ultra-rare cyberkinesis.

And he avoided the slashes
and teleported so many people at once.

That's an incredible trump card, Azaki.

Didn't I tell you?

He's the last person
in Class 1-B to mess with.

Mr. Azaki, how could you keep this
from me, your assistant homeroom teacher?

Didn't I tell you?

For Class 1-B, is it a blessing or a curse

to be split up in such a big place?

If it comes down to a one-on-one duel,

Class 1-A naturally has the advantage
with their attack types.

Emoto.

Bye bye, Wagari.

Too bad you couldn't take anyone out.

Don't underestimate Class 1-B.

We're going to crush Class 1-A.
Be prepared.

Hasumi… What's going on with him?

Even we haven't heard of that ability.

Everyone in Class 1-B has been scattered.

We need to regroup first.

I'm…

Wagari is unbelievably strong.

We can't beat him one-on-one.

Let's regroup Class 1-B
and launch a surprise attack.

That's the only way to defeat Wagari.

I must be a flawless existence.

I come from a family of spiritual mediums.

I was raised with that belief.

Always right.

Always perfect.

That's why I can't stand

a scourge like "Autophobia K".

Enishiro, who has the same flame as him.

Or those without talent
calling themselves spirit mediums.

And Kasubata…

Do you know why I chose this "window"?

Because I hate you, Kasubata!

To say that to my face… How hurtful.

Don't you think it's rude?

I don't even hate you.

I'm surprised!

I thought you hated me too.

"Slice"!

Wagari!

Coming to me was your biggest mistake.

I'll make you regret it.

Wagari!

You…

will be defeated by me here!

Banhammer of Civility…

The Banhammer of Civility!

Kasubata.

What exactly is your justice?

He deliberately aimed for somewhere
other than his body…

This guy… He's toying with me.

Justice must be noble and flawless.

Your justice is merely
a temporary expedient.

It's crude and violent.

That's who you really are.

Shut up.

If you're a villain, act like one!

Look at Class 1-A's Surugi.

Being utterly evil, he actually
makes me feel refreshed.

I like it!

Cut the crap!

Whenever I see you, I'm reminded…

of those foolish masses who refuse
to admit their mistakes and weaknesses.

Always right, always perfect.

In other words…

I want to be useful to the world.

I want to be useful to the world.

Just because he's married,

everyone around us
opposes our relationship. It upsets me.

People who have affairs are trash.

Don't be a fly buzzing around trash.

My parents aren't well educated but still,
they make me study for good university.

How can I shut them up?

If you have time to read blogs
like this, go study.

I'm actively looking for a job.

Is there a job where I can take
four days off a week and earn a million?

What you need is to get out
of the house and face reality.

Kasubata, you're no different from them.

Slash down.

Your justice is disgusting.

Don't try to cover up dog sh*t
with pretty decorations.

Are you getting up again to fight?

It would be pathetic to surrender
just like this, wouldn't it?

But, enough with the bluff.

You must know very well
that you have no chance of winning.

You can run if you want.
It's just like you.

Just like always.

You piece of sh*t.

I found you!

I've missed you, Enishiro.

The pervert has appeared.

You know, I may not be
the brightest bulb in the box,

but ever since we met, I've been thinking.

How can I t*rture you better?

The answer is interrogation.

I'll burn you one by one,
starting from your fingertips.

Then I'll gag you
so you can't even beg for mercy.

I've been holding it in
for two weeks for this day.

Why is your reaction so cold?

Everyone in Class 1-B says you get happier
the angrier or more frightened we look.

So, I should just ignore you.

They are too nosy!

But once it really starts burning,
I'll hear a few screams, right?

Cyber Out!

Flames of Loathing!

Don't assume I've forgotten.

You insulted Akari and Class 1-B.

So, you're that type of person.

The type who cares more
about their friends than themselves.

Let me tell you something.

Minoru is fighting Kasubata right now.

He's fighting that guy with the sword…

You know, I can sense people's fear
and negative emotions.

Kasubata…

is absolutely terrified of Minoru.

His inferiority complex, his regret.

He's been avoiding Minoru at school.

How pathetic.

Utterly miserable.

He's probably already beaten
to the ground right now,

crying and apologizing as he runs.

Get angry!

Don't be ridiculous.

Kasubata…

You piece of trash!

Even in this virtual space, don't stain
the sacred spring with your blood.

Surrender at once!

And… take back your
twisted sense of justice!

It's hot.

I almost lost consciousness,
but I woke up in no time.

As expected of Kusatsu's hot springs.

They even heal sword wounds.

Take back?

Fine, as you wish.

Wagari.

I hate you too.

I am justice!

Kukuru.

Hasumi!

You're going to help Kasubata, aren't you?

Gatsby, thanks.

Good boy. You must be hungry.

Eat up.

Owada, let's pretend
we didn't see each other.

I'm in a hurry.

You're quite the actor.

Pretending to be a useless nobody.

To think you possess
spatial transfer ability.

I remember what Surugi said about you.

"A good-for-nothing peeping Tom.
A funny-looking guy."

But that's not true at all.

How could I possibly let you
get away with this, Hasumi?

You're too troublesome.

I'm going to get rid of you now

and make Kusaba praise me.

Cyber Out!

Cyber Beast Summon!

Teddy Kong!

Teddy Kong! So cute!

Hasumi's cyberkinesis is strong, but…

Good boy. You're so cute today too.

You want some petting too? Good boy.

I'm sorry I can't adopt you.

We have too many brothers at home,
so we can't.

I see.

So that's why you switched
to digital pets.

How did you know?

The report shows that a monster
from the monster-rearing app

"Chubby Monsters" has been
circling above your house.

That was your doing, wasn't it,
Ikko Owada?

Teddy Kong!

Oh, no!

Sorry, did I surprise you?

Such a violent Cyber Beast
calmed down with just a touch…

If I get into this academy
and become a spirit medium,

I'll get paid, right?

Yes, you'll be compensated
according to your ability.

Owada is also a holder
of ultra-rare cyberkinesis.

A rare talent.

Max level.

With this monstrous strength
that can smash even rocks,

even if you can move through space,
I can still crush you completely.

I have to get to Kukuru
as soon as possible.

We met when I was six years old.

Kukuru Manase.

Nice to meet you. I'm Renri Hasumi.

And this is my younger brother, Rota.

Nice to meet you.

You three need to awaken
your psychokinesis soon.

Yes, I'll do my best.

Looking back now,

it was just parents showing off their sons
to vie for power in the faction.

Hey, Kukuru, what's your channel?

Mine's a three-pronged vajra.

Don't call me Kukuru.

Why not?

It sounds lame.

Kukuru…

Stop it!

As a family of spirit mediums,

my family was no exception
to having typical toxic parents.

We were practically imprisoned at home.

They continued to abuse their children
under the guise of training.

The abuse continued for years…

Every time we met, we realized
we were in the same boat.

That family was the worst.

And the food was terrible.

Every time I saw him,
his words and actions grew more vulgar.

Our children still haven't awakened?

Two children, yet so useless.

The Manase and Wagari children
have already awakened.

I heard Yoimaru Azaki was born awakened.

Should we give them electronic devices…

Let's try using a channeling device?

Cyberkinesis is nothing but heresy.

It'll be fine.

You will undergo a three-day,
three-night fasting ritual.

Both of you must surpass your limits
and awaken your psychokinesis.

Renri, look.

The moon is so beautiful.

Yes, it is.

Renri.

Yes?

Let me get a good look at your face.

You take a good look at me too.

Rota.

Please don't forget me…

To die from such minor training…

How pathetic.

Just a defective product after all.

Renri, don't you turn out like that.

Just pretend you never had a brother.

Understood?

No one in the family ever spoke
of Rota again.

As if his existence was taboo.

They deliberately erased him
from their memories.

I'm the only one who can't forget.

I will never forget
a single thing about him.

Ren.

Let's run away from home.

Ku-Kukuru?

I heard about Rota.

This world really is a piece of sh*t.

I've had enough.

Come with me.

So this is the place you wanted to come?

This…

I've always wanted to try it.

It's delicious. You should try it too.

I can't believe we can buy something
so delicious in the middle of the night.

We really don't know anything
about the world.

Now it's your turn to come with me.

First running away,
then dyeing your hair blonde.

Kukuru, you've always been extreme.

Shut up.

But that's what makes you cute.

Don't call me cute!

So cute.

It's cold. Do you know what month it is?

Yes.

It suits you.

With that hair, you don't look
like a spirit medium anymore.

After we jumped out of that window,

we tried many things we'd never done.

The new sneakers were surprisingly light.

Girls were soft to the touch.

We made a lot of friends.

We also did a lot of bad things
to cover up our past memories.

With Kukuru and Renri, we're invincible!

We're super strong!

The strongest!

You're too loud.

But how are you guys so strong?

Kukuru, maybe, but Renri's face
doesn't look tough at all.

I wonder why.

But sometimes, my heart suddenly
feels so empty.

Renri, what's wrong?

Kukuru… What should I do?

I can't remember Rota's face.

It's only been half a year,

but I only remember a blurry outline.

I promised I wouldn't forget.

I tried so hard to remember every day…

Hey, Serina.

Yes?

You have two phones, right? Give it to me.

That's for work.

I have a chaperone tomorrow…

Reset to factory settings.

Here.

Wh-Why?

To take a picture.

Take a picture for me.

A picture?

I know you're forcing yourself
not to forget Rota.

But human memory is limited.

Whether it's a good memory
or a terrible day,

it fades with time.

But if you take a photo of me,

you won't forget me, right?

So stop agonizing over it, you idiot.

I can feel the tension in my heart
slowly loosening up.

I-I'll take many, many photos.

From now on… I'll keep taking them.

Take as many as you want.

My first photo was awful.

Hey, Kukuru.

Don't make Renri cry, you jerk.

Idiot, the mood was perfect!

I don't really get it,
but this feels like a true friend.

It's blurry, and my finger is in it.

But it's an irreplaceable photo.

Not a friend…

He's family.

When Kukuru decided to return
to the spirit medium's world,

I didn't hesitate to go with him.

Anywhere is home
as long as you have family.

As long as there are no bars
on the windows of our home…

Hey, let's all take a commemorative photo.

Commemorate what?

Just make up a reason.

Hurry up and take it!

Wait, I barely put on any makeup today.
I need to touch it up.

I can't even tell!

What did you say?

Hurry up and come here.

I'm taking it now. Kukuru, you smile too.

That's not fair! I want to be in it too!

I will never forget
what's important to me again.

Teddy Kong!

I'll start with you, Hasumi.

Te… Teddy Kong!

My family is in danger…

Get out of my way, you b*stard!

Ah.... no way...

Kukuru, please be safe.
