SI-VIS: The Sound of Heroes

Saegusa Hospital

She's not just injured?

Right now, her Idea is extremely low.

No way...

Then what about her comeback?

Don't worry!

She'll get better!

Believe in everyone at Harmonia!

So, until she returns,

Welcome to Labyrinth

I'm leaving SI-VIS in your care. Got that, Kyoya-kun?

It'll be fine.

Believe in everyone, in Siren!

Good mornin...g...

Morning!

Sorry it wasn't the silly early-riser you were expecting.

O-Oh no, I wasn't...

I was just surprised to see you here first since you're always barely on time.

Wow, thanks for the burn!

Tickle, tickle, tickle!

Take this, take this!

Wh-What are you doing?

You've never been tickled?

μ!

A calling arises from deep within in my burning heart

It's Show Time

The price of living in the time of freedom

"So, what do you want to do?"

Just standing there with my empty body

Like a calling to protect the world

I craved an unequaled gift

Lost in night's darkness

Until a voice called out to me

Like the light that declares the dawn

I'll take you with me at any cost (I pray and wish)

Beyond the Echo-verse (To the future)

Just being with you makes me strong

It's not an exaggeration

That encounter was a supernova

In an instant, everything that I am

Will be changed forever (Just to be)

A calling arises from deep within in my burning heart

Destiny is Calling us now

Just to be who we are

Destiny is Calling us now

Just to be by your side

Saegusa Hospital

What a beautiful morning!

The air feels so fresh!

Hey, Kyoya.

Hm?

Aren't you gonna be late for your lesson if you don't get going soon?

I never expected to hear that from you. You're always late and playing hooky.

I'll ask Rui to do this kind of stuff.

She's more attentive than you are.

Stop complaining. Rui-san is super busy.

And if anything, this is me being selfish.

I want to help you recover as much as I can.

Then I'll be able to feel some peace.

So it may be annoying for you, but let me do it.

I'm not the one you should be spending your time on.

I'll make sure to go to lessons.

I won't let this interfere with SI-VIS activities.

The only time I'll use is my spare time.

Do we have a deal?

Gosh, you're such a pain.

You're almost as bad as Yosuke.

Huh? What?

Am I like Yosuke-kun now?

The only thing you two share is how meddlesome you are.

Your singing and dancing have a long way to go.

Plus, girls never left him alone.

Meanwhile, you only hang out with boys.

That's only natural.

Everyone was a fan of Yosuke-kun.

True.

He loved every single person in the world.

And his performance showed it.

The shoes I need to fill are too huge.

Well, you don't have to become like Yosuke.

You have your own... appeal that no one else can copy.

Sh-Should we get back inside now?

It's getting chilly.

Man, I want to sing so bad.

After you get better.

All right, just you watch.

I'll be back onstage in a week.

Sure thing, I believe in you.

Who knows when she'll be ready to perform?

This is her scan from this morning.

Nothing's improved since sustaining the injury.

And her Idea?

Back and forth between forty and sixty.

No change there either.

The physical injuries will heal in six months or so.

But...

The curse given by XENOS will...

I've got no idea how long it'll take for her to be able to sing again.

And even then, who knows if it'll be of any use—

Siren will definitely make a comeback!

She's a genius born to sing!

Something like this... can't possibly keep her from...

Feel free to believe whatever you want,

but do be careful not to push Takagi to the edge.

More importantly, I need to ask you something.

I have a meeting with the president.

Then pass this along.

What do you guys know about that girl Nagi?

It seems that she's able to travel to the Mirage at will.

And Kamizato, you have compelling evidence to back it up.

That's why you approved the plan Minami suggested. Am I right?

Are you prepared to bear the burden with me?

How the hell will I know?

I'll tell you after I hear it.

Please gather all of the Harmonia staff in the server room.

In, let's say, thirty minutes.

Lord Archon.

How is Lady Eden?

Her cheeks seem to be a bit rosier today.

A positive sign.

A new fact has come to light about Orphe.

There's a possibility he might have kidnapped Lady Eden's kin.

Nagi-chan is... XENOS?

That doesn't surprise me.

She doesn't have the constitution or abilities of a normal human.

And even Yosuke-kun, too.

Did you all know this from the beginning?

Hayama-san, watch your tone—

Yes, we've known for the past ten years.

What?

So don't blame Rui anymore.

She only learned about it just the other day.

The one I'm truly pissed at is Metis.

I knew people would betray us.

But I thought she was showing everything to me.

Unless you open up your heart first, others won't do the same to you.

It's the same for people and AI.

You're in no place to tell me that!

Have you known?

That there was someone who had the same or similar powers to Lady Eden?

Is there truly someone like that?

So you weren't aware.

We never had an heir.

And that led us to the brink of extinction.

Words can't express how much I regret it.

There are only a few XENOS left?

Their Idea is filled

by the blessing of their queen called the "Diva of the Stars."

The blessing of the diva?

Is that like SI-VIS's live concerts?

Similar, but slightly different.

They don't amplify the blessing of the diva or return the Idea to the diva.

It's a one-sided relationship.

But one day, the supply of Idea from the Diva of the Stars stopped.

Was their planet depleted?

Or was it the end of the road for the Diva of the Stars?

Apparently, they don't know that either.

To save their planet and people from their demise,

they set their eyes on the Idea of other planets.

And among them...

Was Earth?

During the several hundred years of invasion preparation,

many lost their lives or fell into deep slumber,

and the number of XENOS decreased...

Now only a handful remain.

Are you saying...

Only a few enemies are destroying the Earth and its four billion people?

About that...

Ten years ago, before their invasion started,

the world population was seven billion.

It's one of the few secrets Metis told me.

What? Does that mean three billion people have already been...?

The invasion scale is massive, and the the enemy is small.

That's the truth of this distorted fight.

Anyhow, there's a new hope on the horizon.

Like I've been requesting, let us resume supplying Idea to you—

That's the precious Idea people have left behind in exchange for their lives.

It is absurd to use it to sustain the life of someone like me.

But if your aging continues—

Idea should only be used on you all, the future of this planet.

If you, her husband, aren't by her side when Lady Eden wakes...!

It doesn't matter if I'll be there or not.

The only thing that matters is whether she wakes up or not.

There's no time to lose.

Put in every ounce of Idea there is

to attack the Earth with maximum force, and then...

And are we going to tell the members of SI-VIS?

We'll have to tell them.

B-But if everyone learns about the true identity of Nagi-chan...

SI-VIS's bond can't be weakened by something like this.

That said, they may be a little confused.

We'll have to think about the best time to tell them.

Timing, huh?

I hope XENOS won't attack us for a while.

We can't control what they do.

Damn those boys.

They didn't waste their time leaving.

That's usually your move, μ.

Hey now, when did you learn to smart off like that?

Thank you, μ.
