01x18 - Kyushi ni Issho

[bunniefuu]

I won't hesitate anymore.

When I hesitate...

...people die.

If fighting is a sin...

...then damn me to hell!

How far are we going?

Did you know, Kusaka?

About the third belt?

The third... belt?

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!

Who did that?

"I have some things to take care of."

"I'll be back soon."

Kusaka sent this?

Yes.

Do you think something may have happened?

Have you tried calling him?

Yes, but I couldn't reach him.

What are you doing, Takumi?

None of this garbage works!

You said this stuff would cure a tender tongue.

But it hasn't cured a thing!

Who cares about that right now?

Aren't you worried that Kusaka is missing?

Not really.

Maybe he just found somewhere else to stay.

No way!

Anyway, you still haven't told us...

about what happened between you and Kusaka.

It's nothing important.

I will tell you one thing about that guy, though.

He sure as hell isn't the type that'll die easy.

I know that...
At least I hope.

Regardless, didn't he say he'll be back soon?

You're worrying for nothing.

Maybe, but...

Excuse me! Is anyone here?

This stain is terrible.

I know!

Can I tell you something, Keitaro?

And just why is this mucked
up laundry our business?

But isn't this terrible?

And she said this kind of thing has been happening a lot lately.

That's a good thing, isn't it?

More business for us.

How could you say that?!

Sparkling clean laundry is
a sign of pure happiness.

Anyone who would dirty such a thing is horrible.

I've told you before, my dream is—

—to bring happiness to the
people of the world, I know.

A bit ambitious for a guy
with a job like this, though.

Whatever!

If you don't want to help,
then Mari and I will go.

What? Me?

You don't wanna help?

It's not that.
I just have to be at the salon this afternoon.

I'm still not full-time,
but they're finally giving me real work.

Oh, I see.

Hey, hold on.

What is that?

How old are you, kid?

What's with the portraits?

You some kind of runaway?

That's a private matter,
it's not of any concern to you both.

Anyway, do you want me to draw you?

Takkun and Mari can be so cold.

I'll show them.
I will find whoever's doing this!

Okay!

Finished!

What the fudge?

You trying to rip us off?
Give us our money back—!

Another day, another dollar.
Just a little more should do it.

Him again!

You've been tasked with
obtaining the Faiz and Kaixa belts.

However...

You've failed to retrieve either of them.

Mr. J.

It's not that I doubt your abilities.

But losing two of your three lives?

I believe you aren't yet fearing the worst.

I brought you here today because I
wanted to show you some encouragement.

And, of course,

I also wanted to see Chaco.

Oh, I know...

When your work is complete,
how would you like to take a vacation?

I'll arrange a resort that Chaco
can accompany you with.

Very good.

Caught you!

Let me go, idiot!
Let go! Let go!

Let me go, let me go!

Ouch! Ouch, stop!

This is who was messing with the laundry?

Yeah... I was surprised too.

She's just a cute little girl.

Well, you got the cute part right.

But, kinda weird that a dry cleaner
would complain about dirty laundry.

Haven't you been getting more
business because of me?

The little brat makes a good point.

Thanks, gramps.

Gramps?

Oh? Did the little brat hurt your feelings?

You're pretty clever with the insults.

Let me guess,
you're going to call me "grandma" next.

How predictable.

"Grandma"?
I would never... fat-face.

Fat-face?

Whoa, that's a little too far!

Even I haven't said that.

What did you say?

You've thought that this whole time?!

Would you two stop it?!

So then, what's your name?

Where are your mom and dad?

Oh, just leave her alone.

A girl like her is nothing but trouble.

Let's just hand her over to the police.

Agreed.

That might work.

My name is...

Nobuchi Keiko.

My mom and dad

died a long time ago.

But, please don't take me to the police!
I don't wanna go!

O-Okay.
Don't worry, we won't.

You guys are so mean!

This girl has obviously been through a lot.

I know how she's feeling.

I'm sure she's starving for affection.

It's okay.
Please don't cry.

I'd like for you to continue
collecting the data we discussed.

Very well.

In the same format as before?

Yes, the same format should do nicely.

It was very concise.

But sir, what do you need a database
of children living in Kyushu for?

I believe the previous president created
a special institution with children much like—

Know your place!

Following my orders is
all that's expected of you.

Anything else is above your head.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

You've been quite this entire time.
Do you wanna talk about anything?

Let me get to know you better.

And what good will that do?

Well, maybe I can cheer you up.

Oh, do you fancy me or something?

That's not what I...

Don't get me wrong, I like you, but—

Well then, get me a snow cone.

A snow cone might cheer me up right now.

But it isn't really the season for—

How about some ice cream instead?

I want a snow cone!

Snow cone...

Fine. I'll try to get you one.

Did something happen?

What do you mean?

The two of you don't seem very...
energetic today.

It's nothing.

I'm a crap human.

Crap at being Faiz and crap at falling in love.

I'm crap!

That's not true!

You're a wonderful person, Kaido.

Don't try make me feel good!
It'll just bum me out!

Faiz, huh?

I'm sure Faiz is still targeting
traitors to the Orphnochs.

Orphnochs like us.

Do you know anything about him, Kaido?

Silence! No talking.

Faiz...

Who could have that belt right now?

All...

Done!

Here. Dig in.

Thanks for the feast.

Eh? You're finished already?

As I thought, this just won't work.

This isn't going to cheer me up.

Well then, what should I do?

I want to become an idol!

Idol?!

That's amazing, Keiko.

You look like a real idol.

Now, a concert, please.

What? A concert?

Sonoda!

Over here, please.

Yes, ma'am.

Sonoda, could you change my scissors?

Yes, ma'am!

There you go.

You're Sonoda?

Huh? Ah, yes.

I'm Soeno Hikaru.

It's nice to meet you.

I've been working here for a while now.

This salon really knows how
to work their employees.

If you don't work well,
you'll never get ahead.

Don't worry, I'll teach you everything I know.

Please do, Miss Soeno.

W-What? Say that again!

What did you call me?

...Miss Soeno?

Ah, finally some respect around here!

Hey, you two!

Quiet!

Welcome.

...You!

So you really do work here.

I thought you might,
so I came here to check on you.

It looks like you're okay.

I'm glad.

You mean because of the monster from before?

Well, I managed to get away.

I can be fast to run away, apparently.

- You—
- You are—

What?

Nothing.

Don't worry too much
about what happened back there.

I think it'd be best for you to forget
about that monster and corpse you saw.

That's weird.

I was going to tell you the same thing.

Oh...

Thank you for worrying about me.

Yeah.

Same here.

Long flowing hair,
gently caressed by the breeze

A maiden descends the hill with ease

Long flowing hair,
gently caressed by the breeze

A maiden descends the hill with ease

And makes her way back to him

Makes her way back to him.

Thank you, everyone!
Thank you!

I love you all!

I'm sorry for bothering you!
Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Sorry for dragging you out here.

Thank you very much!

Well, Keiko?

Did that cheer you up a little bit?

Not at all.

Being an idol is surprisingly boring.

I think it's time I retire.

Oh yeah! I've still got portraits to draw.

Why don't you fetch me
some customers, Keitaro?

What's wrong?

You said you liked me, right?

You have to listen to whatever I say.

...Alright fine.

Oh? And then?

I'm home.

Come on in.

This is my friend.

Sorry to intrude.

That's alright.

Yes.

Wow. So your father is a detective, huh?

Yeah.

It's the poorest and hardest work in this world,

or so Dad keeps saying.

Ah! About the previous gas expl*si*n case...

Sorry.

Dad's voice is so loud.

The mother's in the hospital
but the daughter is missing.

Name? Uh...

Kurata Keiko.

It's Kurata Keiko.

He's so slow.

Would you like a portrait?

Can I interest you in a potrait?

Would you like a portrait?

It's no use, sorry.
I just can't get anyone interested.

These days a portrait is—

Keiko, what is this?!

Why would you do this?

This is horrible!
What were you thinking?

Hey, say something, Keiko!

Fine, whatever!
I don't care anymore!

I don't know what to do with you!

I don't know!

I don't know!

I don't know!

I don't know!

...Can't help it!

Come here, little girl!
Let's play together!

Keiko!

Takkun! There's an Orphnoch!

Ow! Let go of me!

Let go! Help me!

Keiko...

Let go! Let go!

STANDING BY

Transform!

COMPLETE

Faiz?!

I knew it.

It's him!

You again!

Open Your Eyes For The Next Faiz.

Your time has come.

Your mother is always with you in your heart.

Your time's running out, Mr. J.

At this rate, I'll be forced to
consider you a traitor as well.
