[bunniefuu]

This Conductor and Musicart

haven't been registered in any database.

This has never happened before.

Conductor Leonard has
put in a request for tuning on a model.

Perhaps it has something to do with this.

What shall we do?

Maybe we should inform
Grand Maestro Sagan, just in case...

Did I give that order?

Do you play chess?

The pieces on a chessboard

do not move of their own accord.

What would you do

if they started moving on their own?

Excuse me, sir!

We needn't trouble
the grand maestro with this.

-I'll handle it.
-Yes sir.

An unregistered Musicart and Conductor.

If you interfere with my plan...

So where are we heading to next?

New...

Or...

leans...

New... Where?

New Orleans!

Never mind that.

Don't talk to me now.

It's your turn now.

Me?

Who else?

Apparently,
some species of cacti are edible.

But I doubt these thorns taste very sweet.

I'm not good at this kind of thing.

Perfect, think of it
as a chance to get better.

-My car!
-Maestro.

For any task besides music,

his abilities are inferior
to those of most people.

Shut up.

My musical talent is all I need.

What about you?
All you can do is fight D2s.

D2s are all you ever talk about.

It's a D2.

I will eliminate the D2.

Cosette!

I won't let you escape.

It's over.

Cosette, are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Symphonica...

You...

Who are you?

Your aura... Are you a Musicart?

Why did you stop the train?

Answer me.

Hold on.

It was just an accident.

Wait.

Commander Schindler.

Let's hear them out, shall we?

Whatever. Can we get on with it though?

We're in a rush.

Takt!

We're going to New Orleans, aren't we?

You're in luck.

This train is heading to Houston.

It'll surely pass by New Orleans.

We could give you a ride if you'd like.

-But...
-Great, it's decided.

Currently, we're on a mission
transporting cargo.

We're taking the Dark Night Meteorites
we've collected back to the Symphonica.

That's why we're a little on edge.

I hope you understand.

Of course, we should be thanking you...

-Commander!
-There's no need to keep it a secret.

We invited them.

It's only right that we be honest.

Besides, they're not complete outsiders.

After all, there's a Musicart with them.

I'm Destiny.

This is a truly wonderful
and interesting dessert.

Please try some, Cosette.

Thank you very much.

Without further ado.

This sensation on the tongue...

It's so smooth.

I can't believe such a dessert exists.

Don't chomp at it like that.

She is indeed... a unique Musicart.

Owing to my work,

I know about all the Musicarts
in this country,

but I've never seen her kind before.

Very interesting.

Let me introduce myself again.

I'm Head Commander
at the Symphonica, Felix Schindler.

Are you her owner?

Could you please tell me
how you came to obtain this Musicart?

This kind of weapon doesn't usually
fall into public hands.

"Weapon"?

Yes, a Musicart is a weapon.

A weapon we created to defeat the D2.

You called her Cosette, didn't you?

Did you know the human
used for this model?

Then, how exactly did that person...

We don't have to answer you.

They must be tired from their travels.

We should let them rest first.

It's a long way to Houston.

We have plenty more time to talk.

This is your room. Let me warn you.

You're forbidden
to leave here without permission.

We can't leave?

Are we prisoners or something?

I don't trust you.

We, the Symphonica,
are charged with protecting people.

It's a big responsibility.
Failure won't be forgiven.

If you interfere with our mission...

Gosh.

Can't you have a conversation
without threatening someone every second?

Barbarian.

What did you say?

What's wrong with
calling a barbaric person a barbarian?

Or would you prefer a violent imbecile?

You brat.

Brat is not my name.

Keep that in your barbarian brain.

D2s detected.

Entering battle mode.

All right, go!

Hold on!

Cosette...

Now.

I told you not to act on your accord.

I can't believe
someone like you is a Conductor.

They're coming back.

Where's the other Musicart?

Wasn't she beside you just before?

She's the commander's Musicart.

Her duty is to protect him.

Which means she won't take action

unless the commander is in danger.

Besides, we don't need her to.

As long as I'm here,

the D2 won't touch this train.

Behind you!

Elimination complete.

Hey, you could have blown me away.

Could you please control your firepower?

My judgment was correct.

The D2 has been eliminated.

We are out of danger.

If you're worried about getting hurt,

just do your best to get out of the way.

I won't waste my energy.

Does that mean
you were confident I could defeat it?

Shut it. Shut your mouth.

You shoddy Musicart.

Are you two done?

More importantly, we're stuck.

What have those two done this time?

Could I have a word?

We'll work as fast as we can,
but it will take half a day.

Half a day...

It's all your fault.

It was your fault.

It was both of you!

I told you,

I won't allow you
to get in the way of our mission.

Now don't interfere again!

You got a good scolding, huh?

Hey, want to know
how to get along with her?

Just make her yours, with brute force.

She still hasn't linked with a Conductor.

She may look tough, but she's still naive.

Cute, isn't she?

She doesn't have a Conductor?

There are some Musicarts like her.

That's why she's very... sought-after.

I'm not interested.

You're interesting.

And... she is too.

Your eyes are beautiful.

I'm looking for an accessory
in this exact color.

So, can you give them to me?

I refuse.

What a pity.

Good. I like you two.

I see. So that's what happened.

Yes, then we met Lenny.

Do you mean Leonard?

What you're doing is respectable.

You are indeed a daughter
of the great Schneider family.

The reason why you're with those two
is to supervise them, right?

To avoid harm coming to the public from
an untuned Musicart and her Conductor.

"Supervise"?

That's not what I'm doing!

But you are right to do so.

The world is in chaos now.

The world needs people like us.

Chosen ones to lead the commoners.

It's almost done.

Everyone, one last push!

Maestro.

They're here.

There's way too many.

No way.

The Black Night Meteorites
were properly sealed.

Why are so many D2s gathering here?

Let's do this.

Yes, Maestro.

Let the show begin!

I told you not to interfere!

There are still so many of them.

Is she okay?

A Musicart who has no contract
with a Conductor

will run out of energy quickly.

A long battle will leave her like that.

This isn't good.

What should I do?

Hey! Fire like hell where I instruct you!

Roger.

What on earth are you aiming at?

Keep on... firing...

You useless brat!

I've never seen a Conductor like you.

I'll never accept you!

Last shot.

Brat,

you were planning this from the beginning.

Don't be impressed just yet.

There are some left.

All done.

Can't you let me down more gently?

Jeez.

You're still running your mouth,
even after all this.

But, thanks to you,
we were able to protect the train.

Thank you, brat.

I'm not a brat.

I'm Takt.

I see.

Let me tell you my name.

I'm Valkyrie.

Valkyrie? It's Wagner.

I don't hate it.

Don't mind me.

I'm fine.

Maestro.

They're still coming?

I can't stand it anymore.

It's so unfair. I want to fight too.

May I?

I allow you.

Hell.

Come on, let's fall together.

I love this feeling!

After loading, we'll set straight off
to the research center in Boston.

It's not going to Boston.

The plan has changed.
We're taking it somewhere else.

Your job here is done.

We'll handle the rest.

But...

Didn't you hear me?

It's not your business now.

What about the rest of them?

Stray dogs must be collared.

To get to New Orleans, we've still got...

This time, I burnt a lot of calories.

Before you depart,
I have something to tell you.

The way you fought was outstanding.

You're certainly in the same league
as an official Conductor.

So, I have one suggestion.

How about working under me,
using your power to its fullest?

As the head commander,

I can prepare a position
to match your talent.

What do you say?

Please join me...

I refuse.

Didn't you hear me?

I said I don't want to.

Are we done?

We're in a rush.

There he goes.

Takt Asahina?

Your name...

I won't forget it.

I just thought

we should have rested a night
in that town before setting off again.

Well, I wasn't too keen
on staying there either, but...

Are you listening?

You only care about yourselves.

Fine! I'll drive like crazy
all the way to New Orleans!

I love staying up all night!
