Looking at Miyuki and Tatsuya now, it might be hard to imagine them as anything other than loving siblings. But it wasn't always this way.. Three years ago, Miyuki was always uncomfortable around her older brother. The rest of their family treated him no better than a lowly servant, even though he was the perfect Guardian, watching over Miyuki while she lived a normal middle school life. But what really bothered her was that he never showed any emotions or thoughts of his own. However, when danger comes calling during a fateful trip to Okinawa, their relationship as brother and sister will change forever…

00:00:00Myuki, we leave for Okinawa tomorrow. Are you finished getting ready yet?
00:00:10Uh-uh. I'm still trying to figure out everything I have to pack for the trip.
00:00:14How about you? Are you ready, brother?
00:00:17Actually, no, not yet. But to be honest, I had too much stuff to take care of before the break started.
00:00:26All right, then. Let's start getting ready now.
00:00:29Right. I'll start packing as soon as I clear the table.
00:00:35Miss Miyuki, please allow me. I'll clean up as part of my job.
00:00:39Oh, that's okay, Minami. I'll get it, really. You've been so busy helping out brother.
00:00:44Not at all. I already finished packing last night. You have no need to worry about me.
00:00:49Okay. Now you go on and get ready for your trip, Miss Miyuki.
00:00:55Miss Miyuki?
00:00:56Oh, okay. Guess I'll take you up on that.
00:01:00Leave it to me.
00:01:11They see it. They look very alike.
00:01:13It's already been four years since that day.
00:01:21Attention, all passengers. We will be landing at Naha Airport in ten minutes.
00:01:44Please, please make sure your seatbelt is fastened and that your belongings are stowed securely.
00:01:48Hey.
00:01:51Hey.
00:01:57Oh, my God.
00:01:59Huh.
00:01:59Hey.
00:01:59Hey.
00:02:00Sometimes, my big brother makes me uncomfortable.
00:02:24Thank you for all your hard work.
00:02:30Miyuki, dear. Is anything bothering you?
00:02:37Oh no, mother. Don't worry. It's nothing. Excuse me.
00:02:40Please try not to let it get to you. Remember, for better or worse, Tatsuya is your guardian.
00:02:45True, he's your elder brother, but he's more or less a servant to you.
00:02:49And in kind, Miyuki, you are his mistress.
00:02:54You're right.
00:03:00What's the matter?
00:03:02It's nothing. Turn around.
00:03:04Then stop staring at me like that. It's so unpleasant.
00:03:07I do beg your pardon.
00:03:19I'm starting to really dislike this elder brother of mine.
00:03:24I do beg your pardon.
00:03:46Ah, good, you're here. Welcome, madam.
00:04:05And it's nice to see you, Miss Miyuki and Master Tatsuya.
00:04:09Nice to see you too, Honami. We're in your hands.
00:04:13Now then, please come inside and settle in.
00:04:16I have prepared some chilled barley tea, or would you prefer some hot tea instead?
00:04:21Thank you. Since you've already made it, I'll have barley tea.
00:04:25Fine. Whatever you wish, ma'am. And you two? Is barley tea your drink of choice as well?
00:04:31Yes, please. We really appreciate it.
00:04:34Thank you for going to all this trouble.
00:04:36Mother, I think that I'll go outside for a walk.
00:04:48Oh, then do please put on some sunscreen. The sun here in Okinawa is much stronger than on the mainland.
00:04:53I'd be happy to apply it for you if you'd like.
00:04:59Oh, that's okay. I can do it myself.
00:05:01Don't be shy. Let me help you.
00:05:03What are you doing, Honami?
00:05:08You can't be too careful.
00:05:10I understand, but I'll take care of the front myself.
00:05:13Then I'll get this part.
00:05:15No, no, please. I do my own legs, too.
00:05:18Please stop.
00:05:19No, no.
00:05:20I'm pretty sure I don't need sunscreen under my skirt.
00:05:24Better safe than sorry.
00:05:26All right then, Mother. Now I'm going for a short walk.
00:05:40Good. Why don't you take Tatsuya with you, Miyuki?
00:05:48Did you hear me?
00:05:51Very well, Mother. I will. Please excuse us.
00:05:56Doesn't the ocean breeze feel wonderful?
00:06:26Really? A guardian?
00:06:31It's just a little walk. I don't need an escort.
00:06:36In the first place, bruh...
00:06:38I mean, this person's far weaker than me.
00:06:43He can't be helpful anyway,
00:06:45so I have no idea why Mother would ask him to guard me.
00:06:49I mean...
00:06:50Even if I wanted it,
00:06:51I have no need for him to protect me.
00:06:59If I were to relieve him of his duties,
00:07:01then maybe he could finally be free.
00:07:05No.
00:07:07Even if he were no longer my guardian,
00:07:10his independence wouldn't necessarily be the outcome.
00:07:12But that reality alone
00:07:15isn't enough reason to have him go on being my guardian.
00:07:21Why do I feel this way towards him?
00:07:27Why would I?
00:07:29When I don't even feel comfortable around him.
00:07:31When I don't even like him.
00:07:33That hurt, you little turd.
00:07:42Where are you going in such a hurry anyway?
00:07:44Could he be...
00:07:45a second generation left plot?
00:07:48The guidebook said that the children left behind
00:07:50by the former U.S. occupying forces were scoundrels.
00:07:53And to be very careful around them.
00:07:55What?
00:08:01That's adorable.
00:08:02A squirrel guarding a bunny.
00:08:04What?
00:08:04Are you scared if you talk, you'll squeak?
00:08:06What a chicken shit.
00:08:07Acting cool for who?
00:08:09If I had my CAD with me,
00:08:11they'd never get away with something like this.
00:08:15I'm not looking for an apology from you.
00:08:18So you'd best get going.
00:08:20That'd serve both our interests.
00:08:22Huh?
00:08:22Huh?
00:08:25What did you say?
00:08:27Oh, you most definitely heard me.
00:08:30Kneel down and beg for mercy.
00:08:32Since you actually showed some balls,
00:08:34I'll even look away for a minute.
00:08:35Time's up!
00:08:42Did he just use magic?
00:08:44No.
00:08:45There wasn't any sign of that.
00:08:48Well, this just got way more interesting.
00:08:50I would have left you off easy,
00:08:51and I'm not giving you a do-over.
00:08:53That's too bad.
00:08:54Because real soon,
00:08:55you won't be laughing anymore.
00:09:00Why would you beat him like that?
00:09:01He's clearly insane.
00:09:03You have no chance to...
00:09:05It's funny.
00:09:06I'm hearing all these big boss words,
00:09:08but what I'm seeing is a whiny little pissant.
00:09:10You're okay, Joe?
00:09:27You gotta be kidding me.
00:09:32Let's head back.
00:09:33I never knew he was this powerful.
00:09:49What's the matter?
00:09:50You look freaked out.
00:09:52No, it's nothing.
00:09:53I'm all right.
00:09:54Welcome back.
00:10:13Miss Miyuki?
00:10:17Miss Miyuki?
00:10:18Did something happen?
00:10:20Actually,
00:10:21a stranger tried to pick a fight with me
00:10:23when we were out on our walk.
00:10:25But it turned out fine.
00:10:27That person...
00:10:28I mean...
00:10:29My big brother protected me.
00:10:32How wonderful to hear.
00:10:33Well done, Master Tatsuya,
00:10:35and thank you.
00:10:36It was nothing.
00:10:37I was only carrying out my mission.
00:10:39Master Tatsuya...
00:10:43It's commendable that you're aware of your place
00:10:45and you never overstep.
00:10:47On that note,
00:10:48please keep up the good work, Tatsuya.
00:10:55Um...
00:10:55I'm going to take a shower now.
00:11:09What did he mean by mission?
00:11:11And his place?
00:11:13Did he only protect me
00:11:15because it was an order?
00:11:20Why?
00:11:21Why am I crying?
00:11:25Why on earth should I be in tears?
00:11:32Why?
00:11:39Miss Miyuki?
00:11:42It's Honami.
00:11:43Yes, please.
00:11:44Come in.
00:11:48Well,
00:11:48it looks like you're in ready, set, go mode.
00:11:51Um, Honami?
00:11:52How's my mother?
00:11:54She's resting at the moment.
00:11:56It was just a slight fever,
00:11:57so I think she'll be fine by tomorrow.
00:11:59That's good to hear.
00:12:02I'd like to keep her company
00:12:03at her bedside tonight.
00:12:05But I suppose that won't be possible,
00:12:07will it?
00:12:09The host heads the Koroba clan.
00:12:11They're one of the major families
00:12:13who branch out from the Yotsuba clan.
00:12:15It's an important relationship.
00:12:17Even for you, Miss Miyuki, so...
00:12:20Yes, I understand.
00:12:22After all,
00:12:22someone needs to serve as a proxy for mother
00:12:24and I'm the only one who can do it.
00:12:26That's a very noble stance,
00:12:28but I'm afraid that look of aversion on your face
00:12:30gives your feelings away.
00:12:32Is it that obvious?
00:12:34Well, to me it is,
00:12:35but I look for it.
00:12:37Please,
00:12:39can you not tease me anymore?
00:12:41I'm sorry.
00:12:43I just want you to be aware
00:12:45that there are plenty of people in the world
00:12:46who are more perceptive than me.
00:12:48But I'd like you to consider the possibility
00:12:50that there still might be someone
00:12:52attending tonight's party
00:12:53who could tell at a glance
00:12:55what you are really thinking.
00:12:56This may sound harsh and I apologize,
00:13:00but you need to conquer any vulnerabilities
00:13:02that might give you away
00:13:04or even discredit you.
00:13:08So what do you suggest I do?
00:13:09What you need to master
00:13:16is the art of covering your own feelings
00:13:18no matter how strong they are.
00:13:20Do you understand?
00:13:21This is important to do
00:13:23and something you do to convince yourself first
00:13:25so others will believe.
00:13:29That would be difficult.
00:13:31I wish you could come with me
00:13:32for moral support, Honami.
00:13:34But remember,
00:13:37you'll have Master Tatsuya
00:13:38by your side the entire time.
00:13:40Even that might not be enough.
00:13:43I mean,
00:13:44isn't it his job as the eldest son
00:13:46to maintain a healthy,
00:13:47stable relationship with Uncle Kuruba?
00:13:52I'm so sorry.
00:13:53There's no need for you to apologize,
00:13:55Miss Miyuki.
00:13:57Now then,
00:13:58it looks like it's about time
00:13:59for you to get going.
00:14:00So let's smile
00:14:01and show them what you're made of.
00:14:04As blood siblings,
00:14:10they'd have a much closer relationship normally.
00:14:15Unlike me,
00:14:16Master Tatsuya's not an augmented magician.
00:14:19He's not a manufactured human.
00:14:22There's no reason
00:14:22that he should have to bear
00:14:23the burden of being a guardian.
00:14:29Madam,
00:14:30please forgive me,
00:14:32but I just don't see
00:14:33their relationship
00:14:34as altogether appropriate for them.
00:14:53Uncle,
00:14:54we're delighted to be here.
00:14:55Thank you for inviting us.
00:14:59Of course,
00:15:00welcome,
00:15:00and thank you for coming,
00:15:01Miyuki.
00:15:02How is your mother doing?
00:15:03Is she alright?
00:15:04I'm grateful for your concern.
00:15:06I believe she's just a little tired right now,
00:15:08nothing serious.
00:15:10But we still thought
00:15:10we should err on the side of caution tonight.
00:15:13Oh, good.
00:15:14Hearing that certainly does set my mind at ease.
00:15:16Well,
00:15:18this is no place
00:15:19for personal discussions.
00:15:21Now then,
00:15:22why don't the two of you
00:15:23head back that way?
00:15:24After all,
00:15:25both Ayako and Fumiya
00:15:26are anxious to see you.
00:15:28Come along.
00:15:28Ayako,
00:15:44Fumiya?
00:15:46Miyuki,
00:15:46is that you?
00:15:49It's been forever.
00:15:51You've both been well then?
00:15:52Yes.
00:15:53You're looking quite well yourself,
00:15:55Miyuki.
00:15:56Fumiya?
00:15:58Aren't you
00:15:59a bit uncomfortable
00:16:00in that suit?
00:16:01Definitely not.
00:16:02I'm a part of the Koroba family too,
00:16:05and as such
00:16:05is incumbent upon me
00:16:06to always dress impeccably.
00:16:08Truer words were never spoken.
00:16:10Ever since we heard
00:16:11that our lovely,
00:16:12seldom-seen cousin
00:16:13would be attending this party,
00:16:15of course I had to make sure
00:16:16that I was dressed
00:16:17to the nines myself.
00:16:20Wow,
00:16:21she is so competitive.
00:16:23Hey,
00:16:24wait,
00:16:24Miyuki.
00:16:24I thought Tatsuya
00:16:26would be coming
00:16:26with you tonight.
00:16:27He did.
00:16:28I have him standing by
00:16:29over there.
00:16:30Tatsuya,
00:16:31what's up?
00:16:32Really?
00:16:33Well,
00:16:33what do you know?
00:16:42Seriously?
00:16:44Leaving our esteemed guests
00:16:45alone,
00:16:46so disrespectful.
00:16:47Did I just see him smile?
00:16:56A real smile,
00:16:57not a smirk or grimace.
00:16:59Just natural.
00:17:01But why?
00:17:03All our lives,
00:17:04he's never smiled at me
00:17:05like that once,
00:17:06for any reason.
00:17:07Now,
00:17:08now you two,
00:17:09Fumiya,
00:17:10Ayako,
00:17:11Tatsuya's on duty now.
00:17:12Let's not bother him,
00:17:13shall we?
00:17:14But father,
00:17:16we were only...
00:17:17Thanks for your help.
00:17:18Looks like you're carrying
00:17:19out your duty
00:17:20as expected.
00:17:21I appreciate that.
00:17:24Father,
00:17:25please.
00:17:26Surely he can spare
00:17:27a few moments,
00:17:28can't he?
00:17:28I firmly believe
00:17:29it's our job as the host
00:17:30to look after all our guests,
00:17:32which means ensuring
00:17:33their comfort
00:17:34and keeping them
00:17:34out of danger.
00:17:36The Korobah's guards
00:17:37aren't so incompetent
00:17:38they can't guarantee
00:17:38the safety of a single guest.
00:17:40It's unthinkable.
00:17:41Wouldn't you agree,
00:17:42father?
00:17:43You do make a valid point.
00:17:46This is probably
00:17:47what Uncle really wants
00:17:49to say.
00:17:49To his own children.
00:17:52Especially to Fumiya.
00:17:54You don't show fondness
00:17:56or warmth
00:17:56towards that person.
00:17:59As the heir apparent
00:18:00to the Yotsuba family,
00:18:02for Fumiya to idolize
00:18:04the mere bodyguard
00:18:05of another heir apparent
00:18:06like myself,
00:18:08that's something
00:18:08to be ashamed of.
00:18:10He's only a servant,
00:18:12an expendable instrument.
00:18:14That's how it's always been
00:18:15in the Yotsuba clan.
00:18:17To become the Miyuki,
00:18:19Yotsuba they demand,
00:18:21I must view him
00:18:22through the exact same lens.
00:18:25Guardian first
00:18:25and sibling second.
00:18:28And as that instrument,
00:18:30it's no wonder
00:18:31he has zero love
00:18:32or affection for me.
00:18:34Nor should I harbor
00:18:35any love for him.
00:18:36My brother is my bodyguard.
00:18:39My brother is my bodyguard.
00:18:40The shield that protects me.
00:18:43Fumiya.
00:18:45Yes?
00:18:46Don't put your father
00:18:47in that position.
00:18:48It's actually quite rude.
00:18:50He smiled again.
00:18:51Uh-oh.
00:18:53If I seem irritated now,
00:18:55Uncle might notice
00:18:56and misinterpret that
00:18:58as me being unhappy
00:18:59with my brother.
00:19:01Would that be
00:19:02a misunderstanding, though?
00:19:05Stop it, Miyuki.
00:19:06Get that thought
00:19:07out of your head.
00:19:08This is important to do
00:19:09and something you do
00:19:10to convince yourself first
00:19:12so others will believe.
00:19:16Pardon, sir.
00:19:17Would it be alright
00:19:18if I left the interior to you?
00:19:20As I'd like to patrol
00:19:21the perimeter outside.
00:19:23Ah yes,
00:19:24some proactive measures.
00:19:25Well,
00:19:26that's very commendable of you.
00:19:27You can leave Miyuki
00:19:28with us, then.
00:19:30Oh, come on!
00:19:31I was looking forward
00:19:32to having a nice long
00:19:33chat with you.
00:19:34In that case,
00:19:35please be sure to get back
00:19:36as soon as possible.
00:19:37Understood.
00:19:38I'll return after
00:19:39I do a full suite.
00:19:40My brother is faithfully
00:19:41trying to fulfill
00:19:42the duty he was tasked with,
00:19:43as always.
00:19:46That's why I, too,
00:19:48must earnestly attempt
00:19:49to act out the role
00:19:50that I have been given
00:19:51to the utmost.
00:19:59I'll take the next picture.
00:20:07Honami,
00:20:08please take a seat
00:20:09next to Mother.
00:20:09I want you both in this.
00:20:11Oh, no.
00:20:12I couldn't.
00:20:12Please, I insist.
00:20:14Sit, Honami.
00:20:15There's no reason not to.
00:20:18Well, if you say so,
00:20:19Madam.
00:20:19Who am I to deny you?
00:20:24All right, Honami.
00:20:25Please just move
00:20:26a little bit closer to Mother.
00:20:29Okay, one, two, three.
00:20:37That was so great.
00:20:38You have such a pretty
00:20:39smile, Honami.
00:20:40Thanks, that's awfully
00:20:41kind of you.
00:20:42If you'd like,
00:20:43I can take one of you
00:20:44and Master Tatsuya next.
00:20:46Oh, no, that's all right.
00:20:48I don't need...
00:20:48There's no reason not to,
00:20:50right?
00:20:51How about you,
00:20:52Master Tatsuya?
00:20:57Well, Madam,
00:20:58what do you think
00:20:59I should do?
00:21:02Do whatever you wish to do.
00:21:04Well, now that Madam
00:21:05has kindly given her permission,
00:21:07Master Tatsuya,
00:21:08please take a seat there.
00:21:15All right.
00:21:16Let's see some big smiles now.
00:21:17Come on.
00:21:18One, two, three.
00:21:20Talk to me, what's going on?
00:21:37It's trouble.
00:21:38We spotted an ominous
00:21:39looking shadow
00:21:39approaching from the stern.
00:21:41I hate to say it,
00:21:42it looks like a submarine.
00:21:43Reaching territorial waters
00:21:45in a sub.
00:21:46Are they planning to start
00:21:47a war with us,
00:21:47or...
00:21:48Madam, I beg you,
00:21:49go back to your cabin now.
00:21:51Miss Miyuki,
00:21:52please escort Madam
00:21:53and stay with her.
00:21:54Okay, great.
00:21:55Mommy, stay.
00:22:07I can help you.
00:22:11What'll he do
00:22:12without a C.A.D.?
00:22:13I know magic
00:22:14isn't your thing,
00:22:15but you are a magician,
00:22:16aren't you?
00:22:20Could those possibly be
00:22:22torpedoes?
00:22:23What's he got up his sleeve?
00:22:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:23:02What just happened? Was that magic? Or something else? But without a CAT? What on earth? And how? He was able to use magic then? And advance magic to boot. So he's been pretending he doesn't have the ability. I really have no idea who you are. I don't know a single thing about this person. But I will.
00:23:32Let's go over this again.
00:23:50You claim that torpedoes were fired at you from the sub, yet you can't come up with any reason why they would attack your boat unprovoked.
00:23:59How many times must I repeat myself? We have no idea whatsoever!
00:24:07Hmm.
00:24:07Captain, don't you think that your query has gone on long enough? By this point, anything useful we have to tell you has already been said ad nauseum.
00:24:17Then so be it.
00:24:23Thank you all for your assistance.
00:24:25how about that so you're the boy who knocked joe who's twice your size flat on his back
00:24:38if you've mastered the counter-strike at such a young age you're more gifted than i thought
00:24:45lance corporal higaki
00:24:48my subordinate disrespected you yesterday and he'd like to apologize
00:24:59i'm lance corporal joseph higaki sir for my insolence i am truly sorry
00:25:06apology accepted thanks thank you very much
00:25:18name's tatsuya shiba is it well just so you know i'm also serving as the instructor for
00:25:28the airborne magicians unit at ona base if you can find the time i'd like for you to pay us a visit
00:25:35i'm sure you'll find it tremendously interesting until then goodbye
00:25:41let's go
00:25:48so
00:25:55so
00:26:00so
00:26:08Anything in particular you'd like to do today?
00:26:27Outdoor shopping is probably out of the question.
00:26:30We'll make another plan.
00:26:33Maybe this will help decide.
00:26:38What do you think about seeing a Ryukyu dance performance?
00:26:42I hear that you can also try it yourself in costume.
00:26:46I think I might enjoy that.
00:26:49How does that sound, Miyuki? Does it appeal to you?
00:26:52Yes, I believe I would enjoy that too. Let's do it.
00:26:57Very good. I'll arrange for a car service right away.
00:27:00Although, it seems to be available only to women.
00:27:05Ah.
00:27:07Tatsuya?
00:27:09Yes, madam?
00:27:12Did I hear correctly that Captain invited you to the base yesterday?
00:27:16You should accept the tour. It's a great opportunity.
00:27:20They might even allow you to take part in the drills, which could be advantageous for you.
00:27:25As you wish, madam.
00:27:27Please excuse me, but mother...
00:27:30I'd like to...
00:27:33Could I...
00:27:34Would it be alright if I went to the base with brother too?
00:27:37But why?
00:27:41I'm rather curious to see what kind of special training the magicians on base go through.
00:27:47Besides, as his mistress, I think it's important to know the extent of what my own guardian skill level is.
00:27:53My, I'm quite impressed.
00:27:57For now, at least as far as the public is concerned, you two are siblings, and that's firm.
00:28:05Tatsuya, it is just as you heard.
00:28:08Miyuki will accompany you on your tour of the base.
00:28:10Right.
00:28:11So during today's outing, you are to behave as though you're brother and sister.
00:28:16Rather than calling her miss, you are to address Miyuki as Miyuki.
00:28:20And avoid speaking deferentially.
00:28:23Yes, understood.
00:28:24Are we clear, Miyuki?
00:28:26Uh, yes.
00:28:27I'm Sonata of the Weapons Development Department.
00:28:51My name is Tatsuya Shiba. Thank you in advance for the tour.
00:28:57I'm his younger sister, Miyuki Shiba. Thank you for having us.
00:29:01Well, you both have impeccable manners.
00:29:03We welcome you to our base.
00:29:06Let's get you out of the rain.
00:29:07I'd like to welcome you to own a base.
00:29:30Since you're here so soon, I'm assuming you have an interest in pursuing a career with the military.
00:29:35I am interested.
00:29:37Although, I don't know yet if I'm going to become a soldier.
00:29:42Yes, big decision.
00:29:44Are you still in high school then?
00:29:46Actually, I just started middle school.
00:29:48Well, you're very mature and grounded for your age.
00:29:51Thank you, sir.
00:29:53So, um, everyone here is a magician, is that right?
00:29:56Yes, but in some cases they might not be able to use their CADs on the battlefield.
00:30:01So, they're training to use the bare minimum of magic needed for combat.
00:30:06Next up, they will be doing elimination-style matches.
00:30:14The only rule is bare hands, fair game.
00:30:18They engage in one-on-one combat.
00:30:21And keep fighting until one of them finally succumbs in exhaustion.
00:30:24Next!
00:30:31Hey, Shiba.
00:30:32I can't imagine just watching as much fun.
00:30:34Do you feel like joining in?
00:30:40Since you're offering, yes, I would like to take you up on that.
00:30:46Sergeant Toguchi!
00:30:48Sir!
00:30:49You're going to take on Shiba here in a match.
00:30:52Roger, sir!
00:30:53Now listen.
00:30:55You don't need to hold back.
00:30:57As a student, Sergeant Toguchi was a boxer at the national level, and he was good.
00:31:10Please, take me on.
00:31:12Right.
00:31:12Go easy on me, okay?
00:31:14Okay.
00:31:23We'll all be damned.
00:31:33Now, Corporal Haibaru.
00:31:36Sir!
00:31:36Don't pull any punches.
00:31:38Full throttle, you got it?
00:31:39Sir!
00:31:40He fights like he's actually in combat, doesn't he?
00:31:56Seeing that Corporal Haibaru is well-versed in both weapons and Okinawa Karate, it's interesting.
00:32:02He's giving him such a wide berth as he evades his blows.
00:32:05That must be out of the instinctive assumption that he's concealing a potentially deadly weapon.
00:32:10Most likely.
00:32:10Match over.
00:32:24impressive i had no idea you were at this level this kid is much more than we ever hoped
00:32:36still this leaves the airborne core on a path to complete uncontestable shame and disgrace
00:32:43would you mind indulging us in one more match how self-serving
00:32:48would you please allow me to take him on sir lance corporal higaki if it's revenge you're after i'm
00:32:57afraid i cannot allow it it isn't for revenge it's vindication all right you heard him shiba
00:33:05will you humor us and face off against him higaki may be on the younger side but i assure you he's
00:33:11as tough as haibaru i'll take him on but brother are you sure don't worry about me
00:33:41using magic to fight him that's outrageous back off miyuki you're a magician using magic in combat
00:33:57is a given did he just call me miyuki
00:34:01crim demolition
00:34:25fine i give nice job
00:34:32the other day that wasn't a matter of me letting my guard down you drove your point home all right
00:34:41so allow me to introduce myself again hi there i'm lance corporal joseph higaki and i'm with the
00:34:49national defense force airborne corps
00:34:50i'm tatsuya shiba

00:35:09knock it off joe
00:35:10i don't recall saying training stopped
00:35:13i'm sorry to put you in the hot seat although it does look like it dispelled my subordinate's grudge
00:35:20now then i'm going to have some tea if you'd like to join me i'd like to hear more about that
00:35:26distance strike you just showed us
00:35:28i've had some c.a.d's in development for a while too i'd love you to take a look at them
00:35:35uh
00:35:36uh stop
00:35:41he's been staring at that thing all morning isn't he tired of it yet
00:36:06miss miyuki it's lunch time you hungry yes
00:36:13why thank you yes madam
00:36:25this is an urgent alert from the national defense force
00:36:42earlier today while on a routine circuit roughly 10 kilometers due east of tanakijima a japanese
00:36:48patrol boat was attacked by an unidentified submarine and is now missing our forces have been deployed
00:36:54immediately and on mass but as of this time we have yet to apprehend the vessel
00:36:59the karama islands have been subjected to a missile attack from the sea and the port facilities have suffered noticeable damage
00:37:05we urge those of you watching this broadcast now to carefully follow the emergency manual and start the evacuation process
00:37:12and do it quickly and calmly let me repeat this is an urgent alert
00:37:17excuse me madam
00:37:19while traveling 10 kilometers
00:37:21i've just received the phone call
00:37:23it was captain kazuma of ona base suggesting we evacuate to the shelter there
00:37:26we have now officially declared missing
00:37:28our forces have been deployed immediately and en masse
00:37:33but as of this time we have to keep coming from the vessel
00:37:37yes understood absolutely right away
00:37:43here madam you have a call from miss maya
00:37:55hello maya how are you hello sister it's been a while it certainly seems chaotic down there i must say
00:38:04yes this is true
00:38:07have you received word from captain kazuma yet
00:38:10about the shelter on base you mean
00:38:13ah so it was you who knew which strings to pull and did
00:38:16thank you for that
00:38:17although as the enemy forces target wouldn't it actually be more dangerous for us on base
00:38:23this is an enemy that gleefully ignores some rules of engagement like
00:38:27don't attack civilian facilities the fact that they'd stoop to anything to win
00:38:34surely isn't lost on you sister
00:38:38again true
00:38:40very well then
00:38:42excellent we understand each other
00:38:44also do you mind hearing one more piece of advice
00:38:47no go right ahead
00:38:49current circumstances being what they are
00:38:52i believe the logical choice is to release tatsuya
00:38:56are you being serious right now
00:38:59what i mean is you should temporarily disable his limiter function
00:39:03you can manipulate him at will without lifting one dainty little finger
00:39:08if you feel that strongly about it
00:39:10then i have no objection
00:39:12yes since i'm the head of the yotsuba clan
00:39:15i think it would be best if you did so
00:39:18i've said my piece sister
00:39:20now please be careful
00:39:22right thanks for everything
00:39:25um madam what did miss maya say
00:39:32it seems the one who made arrangements for us to shelter safely on the base was in fact her
00:39:37then the phone call that master tatsuya received was
00:39:40yes that's what that was about
00:39:42tatsuya
00:39:44yes
00:39:45you can tell the captain that we'll be accepting his gracious offer
00:39:49also please ask them to send someone to pick us up
00:39:52right away madam
00:39:54i am lance corporal higaki
00:40:08we're going to the second floor break room
00:40:11that's going to be the safest place for now
00:40:14as soon as all preparations are complete i'll take you to the shelter
00:40:23please wait here for the time being
00:40:26madam don't you find this a little odd
00:40:42about the shelter you mean
00:40:44yes if you can't use it in case of emergency what's the point of having a shelter
00:40:49what preparations would they possibly still need to make
00:40:51yes that's true
00:40:52perhaps they need time to gloss over the fact that the higher ups scrambled to get in there first
00:40:58the higher ups scrambled to get in there first
00:41:01it'll be fine miyuki don't worry
00:41:05i've got your back you know
00:41:08miyuki
00:41:10oh my
00:41:11it happened again
00:41:12brother called me just miyuki
00:41:15he said it so casually
00:41:17what does he mean
00:41:18it'll be fine because he has my back
00:41:20how can he be so sure of that
00:41:23stop it
00:41:25that's against the rules
00:41:27master what was that
00:41:33it sounded like gunfire
00:41:36do you know what's going on
00:41:42no not from here
00:41:44just as i thought there's something in this room that's limiting magic
00:41:56but it doesn't seem like you can't use magic at all either
00:41:59tatsuya go check on what's happening outside
00:42:03yes but since the situation is vague we cannot ignore the clear risk of danger in this room
00:42:09if the enemy manages to infiltrate i can't protect miyuki
00:42:13miyuki
00:42:14miyuki
00:42:15tatsuya be wise remember your place
00:42:19my apologies madam
00:42:22go honomi can handle everything from here
00:42:37yes ma'am
00:42:39yes ma'am understood
00:42:40miss sakurai

00:42:54i'll be taking you to the underground shelter now please follow me
00:43:09excuse me
00:43:10excuse me someone from our group just stepped outside momentarily
00:43:26but some of the enemy forces have already breached the base with more on the way
00:43:31it's too dangerous to stay here
00:43:33all right please escort those people first their safety is absolutely essential
00:43:38yes but
00:43:39hey wait did you say your name was kinjo
00:43:42well don't deny the lady her request take us there first we're ready when you are
00:43:47uh madam if you're worried about tatsuya i think he could join us if he went through captain kazuma
00:43:56that would ensure it all went smoothly
00:43:58i'm not worried about tatsuya in fact he's the last thing i'm worried about
00:44:02that was a smokescreen
00:44:04then what
00:44:05i'm getting a strong sense we can't trust these men
00:44:09with someone
00:44:10yes
00:44:25please
00:44:27please
00:44:28me
00:44:31oh
00:44:32no
00:44:34ok
00:44:36yes
00:44:39You shits. You're all traitors, you know.
00:44:42Yeah, and? Why are you so hell-bent on kissing Japan's ass?
00:44:45Have you lost your mind?
00:44:47Japan is our homeland, for God's sake.
00:44:51And what has Japan given us for our loyalty?
00:44:54We join their army, work like dogs, and risk our lives for them.
00:44:57But in the end, nothing changes. We're still left-bloods.
00:45:00They never stop treating us like outsiders.
00:45:04That's all in your head? None of it's true!
00:45:06You! The army! The unit! They respect us! They treat us as their comrades!
00:45:11More importantly, they consider us friends!
00:45:15Joe! You're a magician! Of course you would say that!
00:45:19Your magical powers are useful to them! That's why they pretend to be your friends!
00:45:25Come on, Dick! Do you really mean that?
00:45:30Let me get this straight.
00:45:32You're pissed off because they treat you like crap for being a left-blood.
00:45:34But what you're saying to me is...
00:45:37Because I'm a magician, I'm not actually one of you?
00:45:40You're saying I'm not your friend either?
00:45:43Come on, man.
00:45:46Joe.
00:45:53Okay, now!
00:45:54Mental interference magic.
00:46:08C-Cutis.
00:46:11Hey! Mark!
00:46:16I knew I couldn't trust you!
00:46:18Mewuki!
00:46:46Miyuki
00:46:48Miyuki
00:46:59Come on, don't you dare die on me
00:47:02Wake up, Miyuki
00:47:07I'm freezing
00:47:12So this is what dying feels like
00:47:17Miyuki
00:47:22Miyuki, please stay with me
00:47:27I know that place, brother
00:47:32Are you sorry to see me go?
00:47:37But how could you be?
00:47:39I've been completely terrible to you
00:47:42Miyuki, Miyuki
00:47:44It's too late now
00:47:45Miyuki
00:47:46I wish I could have at least told him
00:47:48That I was sorry for everything
00:47:51But I can't
00:47:54I have no strength
00:47:57I've been giving her why
00:47:58I've been very grateful for her
00:48:15I've been living here
00:48:16I'm being replenished.
00:48:31Yes, I'm being completely reconstructed.
00:48:35Is this magic?
00:48:47Can magic really do this?
00:48:54Such wonderful, mysterious power.
00:49:01Now I understand how amazing he is.
00:49:14Thank you, brother.
00:49:17Homiyuki, you're okay.
00:49:31Oh no, brother.
00:49:50Her wounds are healing.
00:50:03Even the holes in her clothes.
00:50:05Mother!
00:50:07What happened? I got shot. I know I did.
00:50:26Yes, brother healed you.
00:50:31Master Tatsuya?
00:50:33But I was shot at close range. Could healing magic really have sealed my wounds?
00:50:37Not normally, but it's possible for brother.
00:50:41He is Tatsuya after all. And he's my brother.
00:50:45I'm sorry. We never predicted our unit spawning those insurgents. We take full responsibility for that.
00:50:58No apology could ever be deep enough to atone for it, but the National Defense Force will do everything in its power to accommodate you.
00:51:05First, please explain exactly what happened.
00:51:08So, their actual target. Was that other family in the room with us?
00:51:13Correct. That man is the CEO of one of the military's top patrons. And the insurgents were attempting to take him hostage for insurance.
00:51:21So, we're collateral damage.
00:51:24Yes, and for that I don't quite know how to apologize either.
00:51:27No. In fact, I'm relieved to know we weren't who they were after. Just bad timing.
00:51:32What about the infiltration and counterattack?
00:51:36The enemy is sending multiple amphibious craft towards the Ono village shore.
00:51:41They've successfully seized command of the waters surrounding the Karama Islands.
00:51:45Thanks to mercenary guerrillas colluding with these insurgents, crew members are being thwarted in transit.
00:51:51The situation is grim. About 80% of the guerrillas were already killed.
00:51:56The airborne unit on this base will be meeting enemy ground troops with a counter-strike.
00:52:01I understand the situation now.
00:52:03Alright, next. I implore you to take my mother, my sister, and Miss Sakurai to safety.
00:52:09We'll take them to the air defense command room.
00:52:12Thank you, Captain. And one last thing. I need to borrow a full armor suit instead of infantry gear.
00:52:18Why is that?
00:52:20Because the bastards killed Miyuki. So I'm going to make them suffer the same way she did.
00:52:28Are you planning to go alone?
00:52:31Yes, because what I'm after is pure personal revenge.
00:52:36Even if you fight with vengeance on your mind, you must stay in control if you want it to work out.
00:52:41But I can't allow you to massacre noncombatants or those who have already surrendered.
00:52:45That's irrelevant. I won't be giving them time to surrender.
00:52:49So be it then. Our main mission was either repel invading forces or AD-6 them.
00:52:54As for surrendering, well, there's no need to compel them to do that either.
00:52:58Therefore, Sheba, I'm adding you to our battle lines effective immediately.
00:53:02Sorry, but I'll be following my own protocol. Since what I'm trying to protect and what you're trying to protect are wildly different assets.
00:53:11That said, if our shared objective is annihilating the enemy, then we'll fight side by side.
00:53:17Sanada, set Sheba up with an armor suit and equipment for hand-to-hand combat. The airborne unit is mobile in ten minutes.
00:53:26Yes, sir. Sheba, come with me.
00:53:29Miss Sakurai, please look after my mother and sister.
00:53:48Brother, wait! Don't leave yet!
00:53:54Miyuki, what's wrong?
00:53:56I... I don't want you to go!
00:54:02Suddenly you're heading out to battle? No matter the reason, it's too dangerous.
00:54:06Surely there's no need for you to take a risk that big, is there?
00:54:11We'll be waiting outside.
00:54:18You're right. There's no need. It's about what I want.
00:54:22They hurt you and I will not let them get away with it.
00:54:26If anyone causes you harm, I'm gonna take them out.
00:54:29But brother, what if you...
00:54:32Unless I do that, nothing else matters.
00:54:36Because honestly, the only thing I consider truly dear to me is you.
00:54:41Only you, Miyuki.
00:54:43I'm all you consider dear to you.
00:54:47So now you know.
00:54:49It was probably time you found out anyway.
00:54:53Though if it were a viable option, I would have kept you in the dark forever.
00:54:58We don't have the time right now.
00:55:01And honestly, I don't think that I should be the one to tell you.
00:55:04So therefore, ask Mother to explain it all.
00:55:08You'll get the answers to every question you have all at once.
00:55:12From Mother, really?
00:55:13You don't have to worry.
00:55:15Again, Miyuki, the only thing truly dear to me is you.
00:55:19So from here on, my only goal is to keep protecting you and towards that end, I'm going to come back here unscathed.
00:55:27Don't worry.
00:55:30There is nobody in this whole world who can really hurt me.
00:55:33I won't let them.
00:55:49Miss Miyuki, Madam has regained consciousness.
00:55:52Oh, good.
00:55:57Update.
00:56:02The airborne unit will soon arrive at its target point.
00:56:06Five enemy amphibious craft are now approaching the coastline.
00:56:27Updates.
00:56:28Updates.
00:56:32The combat is now approaching the enemy cunt of us.
00:56:36This must be a nightmare for the enemy soldier.
00:56:42this must be a nightmare for the enemy soldiers i agree and they should expect no less
00:57:00uh mother there's been something on my mind i've been meaning to ask you
00:57:06brother just told me that the one and only thing he truly considers dear to him is me
00:57:13and he always has when i asked him about using the words consider dear to him instead of just
00:57:20saying i am dear to him he paused and said i should have you explain it to me so oh is that
00:57:27what tatsuya told you well i suppose this is as good a time as any to tell you but before i do
00:57:34from now on you will no longer refer to him as brother the boy is a defect
00:57:40how could you say that he brought me back to life and it's only because of the skill that he
00:57:46possesses that little parlor trick oh please that's the only thing he knows how to do
00:57:52the only thing oh tatsuya that boy was as a matter of fact born a magician albeit a defective one
00:58:00magic is the ability to manipulate material information physical space and phenomena
00:58:06but tatsuya cannot do any of that what he is capable of is disintegrating the elements of that
00:58:12material and then reassembling them nothing more being born with no talent for magic at its purest
00:58:20the ability to alter material information into something else entirely makes him unquestionably
00:58:27defective but i'll begrudgingly admit it's true it was that regrowth skill that saved us
00:58:34though to be accurate that skill isn't actually magic so that means that amazing skill of brothers
00:58:44if it's not magic maybe it's a miracle as magicians we yotsubas are members of the ten master clans
00:58:52and one can't remain a yotsuba unless they are a magician being incapable of using magic that boy
00:58:58cannot live as a yotsuba so that's why maya and myself decided to subject him to a particular surgery
00:59:07seven years ago the artificial magician plan a project in which a magician's abilities are bestowed
00:59:14upon a non-magician by implanting an artificial magic calculation area directly into the brain
00:59:23that mind-altering but necessary procedure resulted in the loss of all tatsuya's human emotions
00:59:30no perhaps a better term than emotions would be impulses
00:59:34intense anger inconsolable sorrow fierce jealousy grudges hatred ravenous hunger excessive sexual desire
00:59:45irrational love impulses that would make him entirely forget his former self save for one
00:59:51notable exception he was robbed of them all for the power to wield magic
00:59:56but no unfortunately in terms of raw performance the artificial magic calculation area is glaringly
01:00:06inferior to the innate magic calculation area
01:00:12and as a consequence he was only able to be utilized as a guardian this special surgery were you the one
01:00:20who performed it mother who else do you think could have done it
01:00:30i just had a realization that although brother lost some of his emotions thanks to that experiment
01:00:37it's now clear he wasn't the only one
01:00:42back to your question why he considers you dear rather than you just being dear to him
01:00:46since we've gone this far i'll answer that question for you so i hope you're prepared for it
01:00:52no i don't want to hear it the one exception the one thing tatsuya didn't fully lose there you have
01:00:59it please no more the impulse that stubbornly remained inside him was the impulse to love in other words
01:01:06to love his younger sister for him to love and protect you that's enough the one emotion that stayed with
01:01:14him also happens to be the most powerful since tatsuya knows all about himself that must be what he meant
01:01:23when he said consider to be dear as far as i'm concerned i will say he does recognize me as his mother
01:01:31but the instinctive bond parent and child share doesn't exist between us did you choose for that to
01:01:37happen mother or was it a coincidence i admit i did feel if he could retain one impulse then ultimately
01:01:45it would make the most sense if it turned out to be his love for you
01:01:51is it possible i could ever repay brother and if so how what can i give him in return that even comes close
01:02:00yes as it is even this life i live i only live because brother gave it back to me
01:02:09so are we finished now or do you have more questions
01:02:14we're done thank you very much mother
01:02:26the shadow of what looks like a detached force from the enemy fleet is incoming from northern
01:02:34naganajima shit come again the fleet includes two high-speed cruisers four destroyers in 20 minutes
01:02:41we'll fall within striking distance where's our backup four flight platoons have taken off from yutabaru
01:02:49eta about 20 minutes that's cutting it close what's the status of our counter-attack now our defense unit is
01:02:56engaging in the waters around the karamas what's the navy doing screwing around anyway order the
01:03:02airborne unit that's fighting the enemy ground troops to fall back immediately
01:03:15this battle doesn't seem to be going well does it
01:03:18no way you can reach them what on earth are you planning to do
01:03:34what is that
01:03:37madam may i make a request that all depends i'd like your permission to go meet tatsuya
01:03:44honami the last i remember you're my bodyguard please forgive me however
01:03:54well if you must since it looks like tatsuya is planning to do that thing then why don't you go
01:03:59ahead and assist him thank you madam pardon that thing what did you mean by that
01:04:06he only knows that it's theoretically possible and as a matter of fact still has yet to attempt it
01:04:12but that boy does seem to have a plan in place
01:04:18both of you please return to base i'll be perfectly fine here on my own
01:04:23don't be ridiculous you're coming back with us that's not gonna happen the base won't be safe until
01:04:29i obliterate the enemy fleet what about your family if you won't come with us then at least get away
01:04:38from here i can't i'm locked in there isn't any time to search for another firing point now
01:04:47then we're not going anywhere either you do know that if i fail you'll both be collateral damage
01:04:55there's no strategy that's 100 percent fail-safe the same as there are no battlefields that offer
01:05:00zero risk of death in war you either win or lose and soldiers either live or die
01:05:14sonata we're going to hold them off sir sheba you focus on magic for attacking the fleet
01:05:24so
01:05:38this isn't gonna end well for us is it damn it man don't wilt now that's easy for you to say
01:05:58captain but always had a little problem with a little thing called speed calculating the
01:06:06trajectory of the bullet that hit the center of the enemy fleet
01:06:08i've got your back
01:06:36look at this force it's similar to the jumanji clans but she's using her magic so recklessly
01:06:43how long can her body hold up calculations complete
01:06:49material burst activate
01:07:01neutralization of enemy craft complete
01:07:13master tatsuya that was brilliant
01:07:17miss honami a tsunami
01:07:22master tatsuya it's all right
01:07:48my time is done i've reached the end of my life
01:07:52no you're
01:07:53don't blame yourself it's not your fault
01:07:56we augmented magicians never know when or how we will exhaust our lifespans but who can
01:08:02i was tasked with the sworn duty of serving as a shield before i was even born
01:08:08and today i fulfilled that duty in full
01:08:11and i finished it all not because someone ordered me to but of my own volition and desire
01:08:19oh no please don't do that till now i was never at liberty to choose how i'd live my life and i
01:08:28accepted that today i chose how i was going to die and that means everything don't take that chance
01:08:35away from me now i can die with grace and dignity as a human rather than a mere synthetic instrument
01:08:43so please just let me die now
01:08:50you
01:08:57you
01:09:02you
01:09:04you
01:09:06you
01:09:08you
01:09:09you
01:09:12After that,
01:09:38Honomi didn't come back.
01:09:42In accordance with Honomi's wishes, her cremated remains were scattered into the ocean
01:09:58she always left.
01:10:01As I gazed at her ashes being carried away by the wind, something dawned on me.
01:10:08For a moment that day, I died.
01:10:12The life that my mother had given me was gone.
01:10:15And I was suddenly granted a new life by my brother.
01:10:19So now, I belong to brother entirely.
