VEHICLE MODE

Faiz!

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!

Such a refreshing feeling!

So true!

I feel so much better!

And the weather's beautiful!

Oh yeah!

Ah! Mari, that's cold!

- Oh, sorry, sorry!

By the way, where's Takumi?

How long are you going to sleep, Takumi?

Come on, I'll air out your futon for you!

- Leave me alone! Idiot!

I don't feel too good.

Really?

You didn't catch our cold, did you?

That's gotta be it!
You guys did this to me!

Yeah right!
You don't even have a fever.

Now rise and shine!

It's almost time for lunch!

What's on the menu?

Curry!

Again?

That guy...

Next time I see him, he's done for!

Are you feeling unwell?

Not really.

It's not that bad.

You didn't get hurt by that
monster yesterday, did you?

Ah... a little.

How about you?

I managed to get away, somehow.

But...

I'm tired of ending up in these situations.

Tell me about it.

But...

What?

No, it's nothing.

What is it?

Nothing.

You get attacked by Orphnochs a lot.

Why is that?

I was going to ask the same thing.
Why do you keep getting attacked?

I guess...

...it's just coincidence.

Me too.
Just a coincidence.

Takkun!

Takkun!

Are you okay?
What happened?

He's back! Kusaka's back!

I'm really sorry for what happened.

I thought about calling you...

But I didn't want you worrying about me.

I don't care about that right now!
Tell us what happened.

Right now, I can't say.

I don't want to cause any trouble for you.

Don't be like that!

We promised we were going to fight together!

I know that—!

But right now, you just have to trust me.

I'm here now, so please... trust me.

Well, how is everyone?

What are the others from Ryusei doing?

They're fighting.

To protect humanity.

But, you don't have to worry about them.

They have the strength to fight.

Just like me...

and Inui.

What do you mean?

The strength to fight?

I'll fight too!

If everyone else is fighting,
I will fight with them.

Mari...

I understand how you feel, but...

You're fine as you are.

And I'd like you to stay that way.

Just as you are... a normal girl.

Hey.

I wonder who's to thank for you
being alive right now?

Well, I know at least.

It just works out better for
me if you have the belt.

I'd like to hear you formally thank me.

With real gratitude this time.

Well then?

Hurry up.

I'll die before I bow my head to you.

But I'll be sure to pay you back, soon enough.

That should be plenty for now.

Well?

Aren't they pretty?

Kitazaki stopped by
earlier and gifted them to me.

Kitazaki?

Flowers don't suit him.

Anything and everything that man touches...

...turns to ash.

The lives of flowers are short, aren't they?

Now then.

Murakami.

What brings you here today?

Another mission for us?

Yes, however...

I'd like to speak with you
about the Lucky Clover members.

You four together make a four-leaf clover.

I would like to find a replacement for J.

I don't object to the idea.

That is, of course, if there is someone
suited to match our strength.

Of course.

I'll settle for no less than
the best of the best, like you.

Is everything okay?

It's nothing.

I'll make some tea.

Were you... crying?

I wasn't crying.
I'm actually happy

Kaido likes that girl Mari, from the cleaners.

She's a great person.

Which is why... I'm happy.

I'm rooting for them from the bottom of my heart!

I want Kaido and Mari to be happy together.

You should support them too, Kiba.

Are you sure you're happy?

Yes!

If it makes Kaido happy, then yes.

Are you angry with me?

Of course I am.

You won't tell me anything.

The reason I won't tell you anything...
is to protect you.

I told you before.

When we went to Ryusei,
you were the one who protected me.

Now, I want to do the same for you.

Please don't turn away.

Look at me.

Kusaka...

I've never stopped looking at you.

I want you to look at me too.

Kusaka...

I'm sorry, that was sudden.

I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.

But, I wanted you to know how I feel.

I pretended to be your boyfriend before
to get you out of trouble, but...

Can that ever be true?

You don't have to answer right away.

Right now, I'm just happy
that you're looking at me.

Hey!

Pay attention to your surroundings, will you.

Hi!

What an excellent little Orphnoch you are!

That's why, maybe, just maybe,
you can join the Lucky Clover!

Wow, amazing!

I bet your mother would be so proud!

How about we put your power to the test?

A pinch too much of salt.

You've got to take care of your health.

And then maybe you can join the Lucky Clover.

Yes?

I'm sorry for calling you out
here all of a sudden, but—

I'm begging you!

Please go on a date with Kaido!

Kaido's a wonderful person.

He's genuine and down to earth.

Um—

What do you think about Kaido?

Well, he's...

Kind of an idiot.

But, to be honest,
this is all really sudden.

I don't really know him that well.

Also...

I don't really want to date anyone right now.

I'm more focused on my dream.

- Is that so?
- No, please!

What about Kaido and he's feelings toward you?

He's trying as hard as he can.

So that's the story then?

Two guys have asked you out,
and you don't know what to do about it.

Something like that.

I guess these guys have the same type.

Who are they, anyway?

Whatever, they're probably a buncha creeps.

That's not true.

So, did you just tell me to brag, then?

I'm not bragging.

Kiba asked me to go out with one of them.

But I guess, I was a bit disappointed.

Disappointed?

Why's that?

Maybe because Kiba was the one asking me.

I don't know, maybe I kinda... like Kiba.

Well, that guy's kinda... good, I guess.

Give up?

What do you mean?

It's not that she doesn't like you.

It's just that Sonada isn't looking
to fall in love right now.

That's what she—

- I don't give a crap!

Who told you to do this for me anyway?!

Sticking your noses in
other people's love affairs.

I don't like it!

Kaido!

Kaido!

- Actually...
- What?

I don't know...

Maybe I shouldn't say it.

- Then don't say it.

Well...

One of the guys who likes me...

Is actually... Kusaka.

What did you want to talk about?

I feel like we've met before.

You don't remember me?

It doesn't matter.

The real issue is how we proceed from here.

I don't understand.

Did you want to tell me something?

Kiba Yuji...

I have some interest in you.

However...

I haven't even decided
what I want to do with you.

Should I make a friend out of you?

Or...

Should I rip you to shreds?

Orphnochs!

What?

What do you think, Kusaka or Kiba?

If it were you, who would you choose?

What kind of question is that?
I'm a guy.

This guy again!

This fight ended the moment we locked eyes.

It's best not to resist.

Please hand over the belt to me.

I wonder about that.

I think a little payback would be nice.

Here!

Open Your Eyes For The Next Faiz.

You want to join the Lucky Clover?

Is there anyone you're interested in?

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

A secret that still perplexes me.
