Discovered the stray Mototsumitama. Proceeding to capture.

If a world exists where your encounters with happiness and unhappiness are all controlled by luck,

will you resign yourself to luck?

Will you dash forth to gain better luck?

Or will you try to fight against it?

Yes?

Gosh, are you still sleeping?

Keita-kun, I made your favorite today. A fried chicken sandwich.

Plus, for a balanced and nutritious meal, I made a vegetable sandwich—

Yeah, yeah.

I'll eat 'em.

Try not to be late!

The express is now leaving.

Sorry!

The doors will be closing.

Wait!

Please move toward the center!

Ah, Onii-chan! Good morning!

Good morning. What happened?

Seems that the mother of Mayu's friend was hit by a car that was backing up.

Mama...

But thankfully, the car wasn't moving quickly—

Ah, I'm sorry.

No, it's all right.

If you'd like, why don't you have dinner at our place once in a while?

Thanks, but I have an appointment today.

Eh?

Bye-bye.

You have to come over next time!

Okay.

A person's good will is heavy.

The more you build up bonds with others,

the more likely you are to interfere with their own luck.

And in return, your own life will be dragged in as well.

That is why...

I...

"Doppeliner"

How lucky!

Ibuki-kun, you're late, right?

What's so lucky about that?

I'd stand out too much if I was the only one, right?

Welcome.

Shall I heat up your bento?

Yes, please.

Bingo.

Seems that I'm lucky lately.

Look, I won.

Could it be that you're inviting me to come with you?

Sorry, I'm going with Shizuka.

What a pity.

Ibuki-kun, I'll invite you next time.

It's okay. I was just joking.

Good morning. I'm sorry.

It's okay. Hurry and take your seat.

Okay.

Yamada, you're late too?

Yeah...

Oh? Kasai-kun isn't here.

Hey, did he switch schools? Did he die?

What are you talking about? He just has the flu.

Well, stuff like that has happened a lot lately.

Shizuka, hurry up!

Wait for me, Risa!

Hey, Ibuki, want to go sing karaoke together?

That's great!

I might have some coupons.

I was asked to babysit the kid next door today.

Seriously?

Sorry. I'll go next time.

Welcome.

You can't just read it and not buy it!

Mayu-chan?

Hey, was your appointment canceled?

I'm heading over now.

Aw. I see.

Earlier, small earthquakes occurred in the Okinawa region. The tremors...

Here's your ramen. I've given you an extra egg for free.

Thanks, as always.

The train is approaching line 1.

Please stand behind the yellow line.

We sincerely thank you for coming to the GSD live concert presented by K-ON MART.

Damn it!

Man, he's as tall as a mountain!

Hey, Risa.

Should we move?

Do you have a sister?

I have a brother who acts more like a sister.

Risa, that girl in red there looks exactly like you.

Looks like doppelgängers do exist.

What are you saying?

Hey, you there!

I'm a scout from a modeling agency.

Do you have a moment?

Ah, yeah...

Mother...

Why?

She's dead!

Don't tell me...

She's mother's

doppelgänger?!

Seems like a hit-and-run.

She died instantly.

She was still so young.

Ah, are you awake?

I've called you a few times.

I made your favorite potato and mayonnaise onigiri—

My button!

I want to forget about that day, but I can't.

The day after she saw her,

my mother died.

Sorry.

Self-study

How lucky for you, Ibuki-kun.

How was yesterday's performance?

It's true that, including yourself, there are three people in the world who look the same.

We saw a girl who looked exactly like Risa.

A doppelgänger!

Gosh, you sure are persistent.

Hey.

Try not to get into any accidents.

Could it be that you believe in doppelgängers?

Just kidding.

I really was a bit worried, though.

Oh, so you are worried about me?

Aren't you happy?

Here's your ramen with two eggs. The barbecued pork is on the house.

Thanks for that.

Keita-kun, since you're a regular here, it's fine.

Um...

Hi. Welcome...

Ramen, please.

What? Do you have any money?

Of course.

Look.

Is this a joke?

You couldn't even buy instant ramen with that.

I won't be able to eat ramen?

Is it really all right to treat me to something so luxurious?

Yeah.

Thanks!

My meat!

Well, Keita-kun, I'll give you a treat, then.

It's okay. My father will be sending me money soon.

Do you live alone?

Yeah.

What about your mother?

She died in a traffic accident a few years back.

Sorry for asking about something so unpleasant.

Hey, Mister, have you heard about doppelgängers?

Doppelgängers?

Including oneself, there are three people in the world who look the same.

You'll die if you see them.

That's how my mother died—

You are mistaken.

Doppelgängers are nothing more than figments of the imagination.

What actually exists in this world are Doppeliners.

Doppeliners?

Yup. It's a system used to maintain the balance of Tera.

There are three copies of the same person in the world, but their luck differs.

If the Subs were to encounter each other, based on the established rules,

they would be annihilated by sickness, accidents, or other reasons.

Annihilated...

After that, the remaining Root will absorb the luck of the other two, who were annihilated.

It's unfortunate, but your mother wasn't the Root, but rather a luckless Sub.

Welcome.

Miss!

Hey, what are you doing?!

Why are you attacking such a young girl?

Hey, are you listening—

Hey, Mister, are you okay?

Quite resilient.

As expected of a Mototsumitama.

Looks like I don't have to show mercy.

I'll land a direct hit this time.

Strike!

Stop!

Keita-kun!

Mister, Call the police!

O-Okay!

Don't interfere! You're a mere human.

W-What?

Ramen...

My ramen...

That was the precious first time someone treated me to it...

Unforgivable...

Unforgivable? You're nothing more than a stray Mototsumitama.

What?!

Don't look down on me!

This is so troublesome.

I do want to taste the Tera of a fresh Mototsumitama like you...

However, I was ordered to bring you back alive.

You little...

Were you frightened? It's okay now.

I'm sorry for getting innocent bystanders involved in this.

Were you injured?

What are you?

I'm Kuro, a Mototsumitama.

He's Punipuni.

Mototsumi—

The ramen is...!

There was still so much left!

Sorry about the precious ramen you treated me to, but I have to leave.

Punipuni?

Where are you going?

To kill my brother.

Wait a while more, Keita-kun.

Your favorite cabbage roll will be done soon.

Akane-san.

Yes?

Enough already.

Even though we're childhood friends, there's no need for you to take care of me.

What are you saying?

You won't even eat properly if I leave you alone.

I'll be fine.

This brings back memories!

Akane-san?

Keita-kun, you've avoided getting close to others because of the pain you've felt over her death, right?

Do you think that you bring misfortune to those you are involved with?

In other news,

A lot has happened.

an accident has occurred in the Tokyo industrial area leaving three people dead.

What happened to your mother, and your close friend too...

I'm sorry.

The victims are:

Yamada Risa-san, 17 years old.

Tamura Kazuo-san, 45 years old.

Yamazaki Akira-san, 27 years old.

Risa...

Hey, Ibuki!

Onii-chan!

Mayu-chan?

I'm sorry, did I surprise you?

A little.

I have something even more surprising to tell you.

I saw a girl who looks exactly like me this morning.

She's about my age. It's as if there's another Mayu.

Wait, Mayu-chan!

A girl was run over!

Someone call an ambulance!

M-Mayu-chan...

Poor thing.

She wasn't a Root.

I thought I had no choice but to accept the luck I was given.

That's why all we can do is keep ourselves out of harm's way.

But if that's irrational, I'll...

As it thaws my frozen body, before we realize it, dawn arrives.

Itsu Shika Asa wo Mukae Itetsuku Karada Tokete

I've returned from my untimely death with my awakened memories.

Sameta Kioku de Hayasugita Shi wo Kaeshite

The sounds of the bugs weeping, the sounds of the birds dancing in flight...

Mushitachi no Naku Koe mo Toritachi no Mau Haoto ni mo

This soundless, white wasteland will be overflowing with their vivid colors.

Oto wo Nakushita Shiroki Kare Chi ni Afureru Iro wo Sosoide Iku Azayaka ni

Congratulations, you have absorbed a large amount of luck.

Welcome to the world of the chosen.

"Contract"

Starting today, each of you are a Master Root.
