SI-VIS: The Sound of Heroes

Shioriko-san! We got stuck in traffic!

The cars in front of us aren't moving at all!

Traffic begins here, 8km, 30 min 10km ahead, Traffic Accident, 4km, 45 min

Crap. We're going to be here a while.

Because I Am SI-VIS

What time is the Mirage's exudation?

According to the calculation by Metis, in 28 minutes.

Did you hear that, Soji?

We don't have time to be stuck in a place like this!

Can't we pass through from the side?

No way!

We can't openly commit a traffic violation. Think about the backlash!

Does that matter when Earth is in danger?!

Oh, but if we get backlash, our Idea will...

Damn it! What do we do?

Soji, Kyoya, can you hear me?

President?!

P-President?!

I'm so sorry for the inconvenience I've caused with my selfish behavior—

I'm not looking for an apology.

Right now, what I want is your power.

Yes! You can count on me!

If we can get there in time.

True. You might not make it to the opening.

But...

For real?!

Harmonia Entertainment will do everything we can

to get you on stage as fast as possible!

Hoist complete.

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

Hell yes, a guerrilla concert!

I knew it was that girl!

She had a duet with Siren!

I'm so excited!

She's officially a member now!

But without Siren? Will that work?

Does this mean the center of the group changed?

Wow, things are heating up.

The earthlings are so easy.

They praise and worship the songs of a nobody, not even a diva,

as if they are omnipotent.

But the Idea is higher than I expected.

This SI-VIS lot can't be underestimated.

It's absurd how wrong they are.

Hold on, Krios.

Don't touch me!

Don't try to delay my revenge!

Quite the opposite.

Let's give your revenge some teeth.

Isn't this...?

The Idea has reached 20,000.

So far so good.

A stage without Siren.

And Nagi-chan alone as the center.

This concert has a lot of firsts, but the fans are still behind us.

Just as we all knew, most of SI-VIS's fans are in it for my cuteness, right?

Well, anyway...

This is a big moment for Nagi.

And yet, the guy who matters the most is super late.

...in a tiny fish bowl.

I was uncertain of how to breathe.

And I lamented, wishing I could change.

Nagi.

Nagi.

Nagi!

Are you okay? Are you nervous?

I'm okay.

I'm n-not... nervous.

L-Listen, Nagi—

My gosh, look how much you've grown, Nagi!

What?

Being nervous or scared... you're learning to feel new emotions.

What is that, if not growth?

Exactly. I see so much potential!

Growth?

We'll be in Tokyo in about four minutes.

Aren't you... mad at me?

If anything, I'm grateful.

But I could never be mad at you.

But I ran away, leaving everyone behind.

I'm aware that we're making you carry unreasonable burdens.

If you get hurt and feel so broken that you have to leave SI-VIS,

then I can only blame my incompetence, nothing else.

Thank you for coming back, Minami-kun.

Thank you for your continued guidance and support!

One minute to the exudation of the Mirage!

Please stand by!

Let's get this over with before they join us!

I thought we were buying time until they got here.

Can't I be the finisher sometimes?!

'Kay! I'll go on ahead.

If you feel like you're being crushed by nerves, just smile.

Smile?

Here, just like this.

I'm sorry.

I don't know how to make that face.

If you don't know, then see it in your mind.

All the beautiful smiles you've seen.

The smiles of the person you love.

The beautiful... smiles of the person I love?

Well, the smile you just thought of might be a bit goofy.

What's this?

Did I make you nervous in a different way?

No.

Thank you, μ.

All right! Let's get this done!

Shio-pon, hit it!

Roger that!

Playing music!

Trust me, beauteous symphony

I'll protect you as much as you have protected me

Guided by you, my heart learned to beat faster

Trust me

Here it comes.

Please stand by

Please stand by

Please stand by

Aiming at our center right off the bat?!

There are only two wings.

Of course they would.

And Nagi-chan has no battle experience.

We can't start the music like this, Rui-san!

Protect Nagi at all costs, you two!

Excuse me, you're targeting a frail girl?

You might wanna reconsider, old man!

I don't mind if you run away.

This old man only has business with the diva over there!

Not so fast!

Aren't you a bit intense for your first appearance, old man?

You aren't so bad yourself, missy.

I will protect Nagi!

Even as a stand-in, I'll be the one to protect her right now!

I knew you'd come, Krios.

So you've chosen to get in our way, June.

I see you've inherited her wishes.

Right. Lukos's Pandora.

My grudge...

because you killed my precious person.

You hate me.

You hate all of us.

Yes. I am you.

I gave up everything for revenge.

Like you did back then!

Now, I'm not giving anything up.

No, not even my old self who was burning with revenge!

Is that it?

First, we'll land at the heliport at the office.

Then we'll go backstage—

We don't have time! I have an idea.

Rui-san!

Are you serious about this, Kyoya-kun?

They can't hold off for us to stop at Harmonia!

This is the only way!

Wait, hold on a sec!

We got lucky just that once, and we've no technical backing to say we can—

So you can?

What?!

We can!

Because we're...

SI-VIS!
