01x23 - Itsuwari no Yujo

[bunniefuu]

Can you feel this ever-expanding universe?

Have you heard the story of this lonely star?

Tell me the truth, the future I believed in...

Is it really falling apart?

This sadness we feel, it's never-ending

Where can we flee,
when there is no place left to go?

Somewhere in the depths of all our hearts...

A voice yells out: "It's time to go!"

To fight and defend once more

The time to be strong has always been right now

There's no escape from this dilemma...
no matter how far we run

The end JustiFaiz the means!

Color me surprised.

I would have never guessed
you'd be an Orphnoch.

But something doesn't add up.

Why would an Orphnoch...
attack another Orphnoch?

It's because I refuse to attack people.

Because I want to protect humans.

Oh.

So that's it.

What are you supposed to be?

You looked like Faiz when you transformed.

Faiz?

Don't try to compare me to that guy.

I can tell you're different from Faiz.

Faiz is nothing but a pawn of Smart Brain.

Faiz is Smart Brain's pawn?

He's been targeting my friends
and I for quite some time now.

I think I'm going to have to settle
things with him sooner or later.

What are you laughing about?

Nothing, you wouldn't get it.

I'm glad I got to meet you.

I think we're going to get along great.

Because I'm also fighting to protect humanity.

Let's work together.

Mari.

Kusaka.

Please don't forget that promise you made.

I've never stopped looking at you.

And now, I want you to look at me too.

No man is good enough for you...

...except me.

No... no... no...!

What are you crying about?

It's nothing.

Please just leave me be!

It isn't easy being defeated by Faiz.

There there.

I don't need your compassion!

And I know that you failed to—

Silly boy.

A woman stands taller after falling down.

I'll just have to do better for next time.

And you should too.

I'm never gonna give up on you.

I'm begging you!
Please go on a date with Kaido!

Kaido really is a wonderful person.

He's genuine and down to earth.

Right, Kaido?

Also, he's very kind and passionate.

Right, Kaido?

Also, he's actually quite handsome
when you look at him up close.

And tall too.

Right, Kaido?

Thanks for the tea.

Well?

Well, what?

Watcha mean "well, what"?

Keep the compliments coming!
Come on!

You're really strong, and funny,
and sensitive, and honest... and cute!

Right, Kaido?

Right...

Ah, how exhausting.

Sonoda?

I didn't know that.
Sorry for trying to force him on you.

He's a good guy deep down, but I guess he
doesn't see the trouble he causes others.

No, he wasn't really causing any trouble.

It's okay, you don't have to be polite.

So, can I ask you something?

Sure.

Is there anyone you're interested in?

Yes, sort of...

Is it someone you dated in the past,
but haven't gotten over yet?

I'm sorry. I've said too much.

No, it's really alright.

But, it's really great, Kiba.

How your heart belongs to one person only.

It's kind of sweet.

It's really sweet.

A very awkward situation, I'd say.

You!

You're an Orphnoch.

I wonder what would happen if you
started falling for a human woman?

That's not what was happening.

I'm saying this for your sake.

It's best for you to stay away from that girl.

You wouldn't want her seeing
that horrid form of yours.

My... horrid form.

Nothing personal.

But k*lling you means I get
to join the Lucky Clover.

Please don't hurt me!

I'm sorry for attacking you.

Okay!

Now then.

What should I do with you?

Have mercy!
I'll do whatever you want! I promise!

That's a nice gesture,
but what use are you to me?

Now that you mention it,
this "Lucky Clover" you were talking about...

Why don't you tell me more about it?

Hurry up and talk.

The audacity of this Kusaka Masato!

Asking to meet with the
very people he considers enemies.

I can tell he's no ordinary person.

It's very likely,

that Kusaka Masato is the only man who
knows the secret of the Ryusei Academy.

A secret that still perplexes me.

This is quite the shock.

You want to join the Lucky Clover?

Yes.

I've grown tired of fighting against you.

And apparently, joining the Lucky Clover
comes with a high position at Smart Brain.

A life with such power on my side... entices me.

It's a very interesting proposal.

However, you'll have to prove yourself
if you wish to join the Lucky Clover.

For example...

Carrying out the execution
of a traitorous Orphnoch.

That's simple enough.

Leave it to me.

Unlike these two, I can bring in results.

Such an fascinating boy.

So young, and yet,
he has been through so much bloodshed.

I can see it all in your eyes.

How could any of you understand?

How could any of you
understand what I've been through?

Mom? Mom!

Mom—!

May I ask you one thing?

On the day of the Ryusei Academy reunion.

What exactly happened on that day?

I'll only say this once.

Never ask me about that day.

Never again.

Never ask me about it again!

I got it.

Okay, I'll be there soon.

What's up?

It was from Kusaka.

He said to come over so he could
tell me something important.

So, you're going?

You don't think I should?

I don't care.

Mari...

Kusaka.

Take care of the rest.
I'm going out for a bit.

What? Where are you going?

Be honest with me, Mari.

I want to hear how you really feel.

You don't want to say anything...

...because it'll hurt me.

Is that your answer?

I'm sorry.

If this is because of Kiba...

then give up.

You and him won't work out.

Never.

What?
That's none of your business!

No.

I'm saying this for your sake.

Because I want to protect you.

I don't need your protection.

Why won't you understand?!

You need me!

Just like I need you.

Stop, you're hurting me!

Let go of me!
I said let go!

Enough.

It isn't the time or place for this.

Learn to read the room.

How could you understand?

How could you understand?!

Huh, you b*stard?!

Don't you understand?

It won't work!

You and Mari.

I...

I will absolutely make Mari mine!

Mari is...

Mari's the only one—!

She's the only one who can
fill the void left by my mother.

I need her to save me!

Save you?

What is she saving you from?

You could never understand.

Hey!

Mari's the only one—!

I need her to save me!

C'mon, get out of the way!

Don't you understand?!
This is true love!

Now get outta the way!

You have to respect how she feels!

It's not true love if you force
your feelings onto her.

Shut up.

Kaido!

It looks like you're dealing with
your own issues as well.

However...

All your problems will disappear,
once you're dead.

Right?

What are you talking about?

It's really a shame.

I thought the two of us could
have become good friends.
