The first 200 lines.
I never thought we'd fall into Nero's hands again.
Why doesn't she ask for our help?
Perhaps Seria is investigating the connection between Nero and MiucS.
There shouldn't be much of a connection.
Then we must release Seria by force if necessary.
He is strong. We should avoid battle.
He's that powerful?
Yes.
Better to look for an opportunity to flee.
We'll watch over her and appear the moment anything happens.
You're right.
Your clothes are filthy.
Put this dress on.
Wouldn't you rather look beautiful?
Too enchanted to speak?
Did she call for help?
That dress...
What's happening?
Could it be? Are we...?
We've been sealed inside.
Seria...
Why does "music" exist in this world?
I think I've figured it out
This melody will go on living much, much longer than us
For thousands and tens of thousands of years
Carrying the flames of wishes past
Traveling across time
What color is your elegy?
Well? Tell me
My 1,000% pure curiosity
Can't be stopped
Let my heart sing, sing, sing, sing and turn my life into music
I despise the word "destiny"
Ghosts still believe in pure dreams
Just as everyone's souls scream
The racing ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump running through the present
Waltzes through the new world with enough force
to break through the afterlife's border
Now smile and shine
Caro mio ben, credimi almen
Senza di te languisce il cor
Caro mio ben
Senza di te languisce il cor
Il tuo fedel sospira ognor
Cessa crudel, tanto rigor
Cessa crudel, tanto rigor
tanto rigor
Caro mio ben, credimi almen
Senza di te languisce il cor
Caro mio ben, credimi almen
Senza di te languisce il cor
As I thought, she is worthy of being my opening act.
Do you like her?
But that's not enough.
Is there no way to make her voice mine?
We will have no other opportunity to acquire such a pleasant voice.
But there's no point in merely possessing her vocal cords.
Then the only option is to make her entire being mine.
But she has a body of flesh and blood.
That suits me just fine.
I'll make her guide me through the human realm when I acquire a physical form.
Won't she decay before then?
I've developed a technology to maintain a physical body in the Phantom Realm.
Thanks to Seria, I was able to verify that it works.
Then we have no choice.
But we must gather much spirit power to venture to the human realm.
That's what we're preparing for.
A festival is sure to draw a crowd.
What? I thought you just meant to entertain yourself.
That's my primary goal.
I like you, Sana. You do not fear me.
I screwed up again.
I don't wish to become your wife.
You're my first choice to be my bride.
Nero, you plan to acquire a physical body, don't you?
Wouldn't that singer be perfect?
Perhaps. She is a good singer.
But would she be sincerely unafraid of me, like you?
I'm more two-faced than you think, and I do fear you.
What?
Kaede, please wake up.
Kaede.
I've been saved?
Yoichi.
I'm glad you're all right.
As am I, but it's time for us to part ways.
What?
My vessel is nearing its limit.
Then come inside me.
I'm sure I could endure it temporarily.
I can't. If something happened, it would be too late.
But...
Father's Raikaku...
Where are the others? Where is Seri-chan?
They pulled their wristbands.
Like you, they'll be brought back eventually.
I'm going to rescue them.
But...
Kaede.
You're not strong enough.
What would you do if you faced another Great Ghost?
But we can't afford to...
What is it?
Nothing. Letting Father's Raikaku handle it is the wise choice.
Kaede?
Akari.
Rui.
And Riku-san.
They're all stronger than me.
Especially Seri-chan.
I'll quietly wait for their return.
Are you...?
No matter.
Now that TERA has fallen, the Saionjis will control this nation's mediums.
TERA has fallen?
The telegeist anti-Japanese government resistance attacked HQ.
That's why the system broke?
I wanted to call you back before this happened,
but the spirit line was severed, and my spells couldn't reach you.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
Ultimately, MiucS's destruction was stopped.
Is there a causal relationship between the
anti-TERA rebellion and our goal of destroying MiucS?
It wouldn't be odd if there were a large organization
that wants to protect MiucS.
It's possible that organization incited TERA's children, the telegeists.
I mistakenly believed you were doing that, Father.
I thought you wanted to control the mediums.
He would never.
That's absurd.
Though I'll do that if necessary.
Forgive me.
Something's not right.
I agree.
With MiucS?
I heard singing.
It was a very peaceful and comforting song.
But I feel as though something was taken from me.
Taken from you?
MiucS is an app developed to eliminate malice from music.
Perhaps part of your negative emotions was taken from you.
I sense no fear in you.
I have fear.
But the anxiety I'd been feeling... It's gone.
Anxiety?
I even tried to tell Seri-chan the truth about myself.
What?
That I was glad when Seri-chan chose death.
I felt as though it would be okay to tell her.
I see. But are you okay with that?
What?
Don't you want to remain with Aiba Seria?
Yes.
Even if that would hurt her?
No.
Are you not worried about her now?
No.
What is this?
Father?
Saionji-san!
Get out!
What are you doing to my daughter?
Father...
Saionji-san?
This is insane! Please stop! Saionji-san!
Silence, monk!
Get out!
What's wrong? What's going on?
Darkness is pouring out of Kaede-sama.
The room is becoming pitch black.
Not here!
Not here!
Not anywhere!
There is no place for you!
Get out!
A butterfly?
Kaede!
Saionji-san, Kaede-san...
Father...
You're safe now.
I'm sorry for being so rough with you.
You always have been, Father.
You needn't apologize now.
Just listen to you.
Kaede.
Yes?
Are you worried about her?
Yes. Very worried.
I see. Kaede.
You must live with your anxiety.
Even if it hurts, that is where your strength lies.
Yes, Father.
Yotetsu, bring that to us.
Bring what?
But it's still just a prototype.
It's the Saionji family's strongest spirit-powered weapon.
But...
Please grant me strength.
If you detect any malfunction, discard it immediately.
