The Tokyo Stock Exchange ended on an overall downward trend today...
He's on the move, Michael. How's it look on your end?
Okay. I've got him.
Can you confirm?
The ID system gives me a positive.
It's him, all right. He's right on schedule.
Miss Karasuma, move to Point B.
Roger.
Haruto? Haruto, do you copy?
Hey, Michael, I'm having trouble reading you. What's wrong?
It's probably your channel. Make sure you're on the right one.
I am, but...
Michael, do you read me?
Yeah, there's a bit of static...
Wait, he's here!
Commencing operation.
Wait! He's changed directions!
He's turning the corner by the drugstore in block three.
Haruto, did you catch that? He's acting suspicious.
Haruto?
Hey, Haruto!
Get clear! He's...
You can't go that way!
Disengage! We've been made!
What the...?!
What's wrong?
We don't have a surveillance system around there!
Do you read me?
Combat is too dangerous there!
Dammit...
Try to lead him onto a neighboring block!
Dammit...
The guy opened up on me... Was he a cop?
W-Who the hell are you?!
Bastard!
The powers have no effect on me.
W-Wait, are you people those "hunter" guys?
Quite possibly.
I feel like it'll disappear...
...the instant I look away.
I just kept counting...
...all the many traces of loneliness...
...that I'd vomited up.
In this time that seems so dry,
...my heart is thrashing around and drowning.
It takes those lies that make my head spin...
...and tears them to pieces.
And the place I lose my way in...
...is a dim, hazy world.
Ravens Flat...
Let's see, virgo...
Horoscope's pretty good. "A wonderful chance encounter may be close by."
Your lucky color is black.
For crying out loud, you fired five bullets in the middle of the city!
Do you have any idea how long it took to retrieve them all?
Every time you go out there, you waste precious Orbo bullets.
We're going to get another damages claim from the Factory!
Amon saves your hide every time you go out,
but if you don't get your act together soon...
Good morning, sir.
I will have Sakaki submit an apology for last night's incident.
I'll have him express his deepest apologies to the Factory.
That's all right.
Sir, about next year's budget estimates...
I believe you ought to handle the talks with the police department, Administrator.
Michael.
Yeah?
Is everything ready?
Yes, Boss.
In that case, let's get started.
It looks like the witch that Amon hunted last night had a partner.
The Factory's investigation turned this up.
A partner? You mean a witch?
Of course.
It would seem that this "partner" has problematic powers.
Hello?
A girl? By herself?
Well, Mr. Amon is...
Oh, he's in a meeting right now.
Right, that's a good idea. Have her wait.
I wonder what that was about...
Okay, here's that other witch's file.
Name, Yuji Higashi. Age, 25. Unemployed.
He met Kent Nishiyama, the witch we hunted last night, 10 months ago.
They met down at the waterfront.
And going back to what the Boss said a minute ago...
Nishiyama claims that he got his powers from Higashi.
Of course, we know that's impossible.
He probably just consciously realized that he himself had powers...
...after meeting someone else with similar abilities.
So you're saying that he has the same powers as Nishiyama?
So it would seem.
In any case, we'll track him down.
There's a good chance that he also has information on us to some extent.
We have to hunt him down before he goes to ground.
This witch hunt takes priority over everything else right now.
That is all.
Amon, come with me.
A wonderful chance encounter... Lucky color is black...
Mornin'.
"Morning"?
Miss Dojima, you just came in?!
Who's that?
Oh, she's here to see Mr. Amon.
When you go up, could you tell him she's...
So, that's the kind of girl that Amon goes for...
What are you talking about?
Come on, if you don't hurry up, the Chief will get mad at you again.
I know, I know. Stop rushing me!
Dojima still isn't here.
We can't do anything about it. She's special.
I wish I was special, too...
Our team members' morale seems to be low lately.
Do you suppose it's because we lost someone?
Most likely.
Well, no matter.
By the way, Solomon is sending us a replacement.
A replacement? Six months after the fact?
They're up to something, don't you think?
We need a little more data to make an appeal to them regarding Orbo's effectiveness.
Until then, I don't want headquarters to know.
Be on your guard.
Understood.
It's me.
Right.
I see.
The hunter they've dispatched is apparently a Craft User.
A Craft User?
Dojima, the Chief's in a lousy mood.
You never learn, do you?
Go do your best!
Dojima!
Do you have any idea what time it is?!
Hattori! The phone!
Oh, right! There's someone downstairs to see Mr. Amon, Chief.
Oh, that's Amon's girlfriend.
What?
I bet she's so obsessed with him that she followed him here.
Poor kid.
Huh?
Huh? We're in the middle of a crisis! This is hardly the time!
Amon has already left! Tell her so and get rid of her!
Dojima!
I hear we're getting a new hunter from headquarters.
I guess the Administrator isn't happy with me.
Who did you hear that from?
Who else?
Michael?
Is that true, Amon?
Mr. Amon, if someone amazing shows up, am I gonna be fired?
Perhaps.
Idiot, it's just a joke. Right?
A Craft User...
I'm really sorry about this. You'll be able to pass the time over there.
"Harry's," right?
Yeah.
I'll check it out.
Be careful.
Black, huh...
Dojima, how many times will I have to say this before it sinks in?
You saunter in and out whenever you feel like it.
All I'm asking is that you treat this as a normal job.
Keep this up, and you'll disappoint your father.
It's me.
Oh.
I see.
She's gotten past immigrations, then?
I see. Get on her trail.
Right.
Any word, sir?
Apparently, she wasn't on the flight that headquarters said she'd be on.
Well, it wouldn't be the first time they gave us incorrect information.
She might be making her way here on her own.
Does she know where to find us?
If she didn't, she wouldn't be on the move by herself.
Here you are. One espresso.
Thank you.
Isn't that bitter?
No, it's traditional to drink this after a meal.
So, you've been living overseas?
I was born in Japan, apparently, but I don't remember it.
Oh, I see.
I know it isn't much, but make yourself at home here.
Thank you.
What do you two think you're doing?!
The new hunter went missing at the airport!
At hectic times like this...
"Why do hunters cause nothing but trouble?"
Why do hunters cause nothing but trouble?
For crying out loud, only someone without a lick of sense...
...would wander off without waiting to be picked up!
The thought of getting another one of THOSE really makes me depressed.
Don't you think so, Hattori?
Yes, but I'm sure she felt she had a good reason.
She's only fifteen! What reason could she possibly have?!
Fifteen!
A girl...?
A girl who's barely out of her diapers is going to be hanging around here!
Yes, there was a girl here by herself.
But the Chief told me to get rid of her, so I...
Yes, sir.
She said she'd come by again this evening, so she left her luggage here with me.
I see. All right.
It would seem that the girl who was here to see Amon was our replacement hunter.
I'm terribly sorry about the mix-up, sir. I'll have Dojima go look for her at once.
Why me?!
This all started when...
No, we know where she is.
I'll go pick her up.
Not at all, sir. I wouldn't dream of wasting your time, Administrator.
I'll send Dojima.
In the first place, all she does is loaf around the office with nothing to do.
Yes, you have a point. I'll have Dojima come with me.
Yes, and?
The Boss and Dojima are tracking her down.
That's certainly an unusual combination.
It must be because Dojima's actually seen the hunter's face.
So, I hear she's fifteen? Why is she so...
Hang on.
Okay, I found it!
This warehouse is what you were talking about, right, Amon?
I'm sending you the blueprints via nonlinear filter.
All I have is the layout. I couldn't find out what's going on inside right this minute.
Well done.
I sent it to Miss Karasuma and Haruto, too.
So, what should I do now?
Thank you for the meal.
I see... You dine Italian-style.
Might I ask your name?
Robin. Robin Sena.
Miss Robin, huh?
How long will you be staying here?
Well, that's not up to me. I'll be here for a while, though.
I see...
Feel free to drop by again whenever you like.
Thank you. I'll do that.
Did that girl...
Gas pressure, maximum.
All right!
Haruto and Miss Karasuma are on the move.
Their timing is right on schedule. How is it on your end?
I'm on schedule, as well. Now commencing operation.
Amon is in. How about you?
Now gaining entry.
Be careful. Something's been bugging me for a while now.
We've been making a lot of noise, but there's been no response from the witch.
It's a little strange.
Strange? Hey, now...
Ready?
Yeah.
What's wrong?
I don't know! It looks like he's somewhere around the girders in back!
It's nothing. My feet got caught in some sand.
Don't scare me like that, Haruto.
Let's go.
Idiots...
O tree of Yr, which proclaims true power...
Haruto?!
T-The Orbo isn't working!
A Craft?!
Yr!
An Ogham Wheel... The runes of Hagal's Eight...
But it's not right...
What's she...
Why don't we let her show us?
Let's see how a Craft User works in her native element.
Yr!
What the...?
What?!
A Craft User?
The replacement...
Your Ogham Wheel's ward was rewritten with Sig.
This is my field.
You sons of...
Brain distortion value is below the red line.
Michael, you can let in the guys from the Factory.
So, you're the replacement?
What are you doing?
Unlike headquarters, we capture witches alive.
Pretty humane, huh?
Capture?
Still, it looks like we got somebody amazing for a replacement.
Right, Amon?
"Amon"?
Do you think you could use that power of yours a bit more effectively?
Putting out fires is a big hassle.
Wait a minute, Amon!
Sorry, he's not exactly sociable.
As expected, seeds of the Craft seem to have taken root in this country, as well.
What are you doing?
Let's get going.
S-Sure.
Welcome to the STN-J.
Just how far back do I need to go?
Tell me.
It's all so vivid that it hurts.
The truth is, nothing can be shared,
...so I never looked back.
...all those promises...
...inside me eventually...
...gave up on that light from some other time,
...like the light of a morning you can't return to.
