Bonsoir, mademoiselle.

To you, that staff is nothing more

than a nice little stick that shoots off fireworks.

That crossed the line.

Give me the staff.

I refuse.

Y-Yumiko-chan...

Be at ease. This is my fight.

Huh?

We can both see each other's Codes.

There should be no way to run.

In that case, I shall stand steadfast.

Oh, really?

Let us settle our differences atop that building.

Sounds good. It'll put an end to this game of tag.

I'll be seeing you, then.

Yumiko-chan.

That makes sense. I guess I am the older one here.

Are you okay?

Let's go together.

If we work together, we'll figure out something.

Okay?

It's Misa-san.

I'll see you later.

But...

I'll be fine.

Do what you have to do. You're going back to the future, right?

But... But...

I will never give Guibarthez this staff.

I promise you.

Yumiko-chan...

Six years from now, let's meet again.

Look at me! Father! Mother!

Go on it with me next time, Father.

Adults can't ride it.

Really?

It'd be nice if there were other kids you could play with.

No! I don't want them to stare at my hair!

You're enough for me, Mother and Father.

Yumiko.

I wonder what Mother and Father said to me back then.

I see. An amusement park...

Quite a fitting place for a child to die.

I think that would apply to you instead.

At least you speak like a grown-up.

Then I guess I won't hold back.

Before that, may I ask you something?

What is it?

Which do you think is the strongest: the elephant, the hunter, or the American president?

Ta-dah!

If you stand on top of this and erase the Christmas Shopper's excess Code,

everything will be all over.

Okay...

You'll be able to return to six years in the future.

Come on, smile a bit more.

My sister made something weird, and you're going to stand on it.

Not to mention the way she talked about six years from now...

Everyone here is just...

Nuts?

Nuts... Yeah.

That's pretty apt.

So, what are you doing?

You'll stand on this, right?

I left Yumiko-chan behind.

That was a wise decision.

Um... Um... Please save Yumiko-chan!

At this rate...

You have nothing to do with this world.

I'll be fine.

Do what you have to do.

I'm sorry. I have to...

H-Hey!

What's with her?

If this were before I learned magic, I'd have been so scared, I would have run away! But...

A mage is the elephant, not the hunter or the president.

Magic is power, mademoiselle.

It's pure power, and power is destruction.

Even the elephant's playful actions can easily kill a human.

In a civilized society, if you want some water, you just turn a faucet.

It's something tens of millions of hands made possible.

But mages are different.

Through the power of magic, you could have it without the help of others.

You can obtain everything you desire.

It's the ultimate existence that stands above all.

That must have been my great-grandfather.

I feel kind of like I understand what he was trying to say.

What are you doing?!

Stop it!

That's the Sorceress's Library! Those who acquire it can do as they please with the world!

My name is Ichinose Yumiko Cristina.

The world is already mine!

I'm finally here.

Fool, did you think that would break Kerykeion?

The Sorceress's Library is within this.

Let go.

Brat!

Transform to swords, my Code!

I see.

The Code is much more precisely constructed since last I saw it.

But...

I told you that magic was power, did I not?

You can watch from there

and witness the moment I obtain the Sorceress's Library.

It looks like I won't be able to keep that promise.

I wonder if she was able to make it back safely...

Are you okay, Yumiko-chan?

I'm fine.

That's good! You're up again.

What are you doing?!

Well, you can't do this by yourself!

What if you can't get back?!

It'll be okay.

The Misa-san six years from now will do something.

I'll be able to go right back!

Let's do our best to recover the staff.

Okay?

You're... You're...

Th-That's...

Yumiko-chan.

Those are ghostscripts.

It's done!

What's that?

An amulet.

The silicon inside will construct 2048 different variable Codes for me.

It's a required item in Modern-Day Magic.

Okay, Santa's gotta give everyone a present.

See ya.

Jeez, she's completely nuts.

Transform to swords, my Code.

Yumiko-chan, you're bleeding!

The future Yumiko-chan told me that if you construct too many Codes,

your capillaries will rupture.

In other words, even magic has a limit.

There's no choice. I have to attack.

Okay!

Stay in here.

Here I go.

It's scary, isn't it? I'm really scared, too.

You can change any Code into a wash basin, right?

Yeah.

Even the Sorceress's Library?

I don't really get it, but I think I can.

Then I'll be the bait. You attack.

You'll end up being the one most at risk, but is that okay?

I'll be fine. I thought the two of us would end up like this.

Now that I have gained the library, I have no need for Kerykeion.

But I shall have the relatives of Cristbarth and Anehara die here.

Transform to swords, my Code!

No matter how many times you try, the result will be the same.

In that case...

I did it!

No way...

Koyomi...

I did it!

Koyomi... Why?

I understand her Code.

My body is shielded by a conglomeration of several hundred ghostscripts.

You have no way of touching the Sorceress's Library.

As long as we can't erase the ghostscripts,

we can't even get to the Sorceress's Library.

Even if we manage to get rid of the ghostscripts,

if we don't erase the Library, you'll just keep adding more ghostscripts.

You have no chance of winning. Die.

I can't lose here, but I can't keep...

Looks like you're having a hard time.

You're...

So, you came.

Who are you?

I told you, I'm a good Santa.

Are you okay?

Y-Yes.

Can you still construct Codes?

One more at most...

Come here for a second.

I'll buy some time. So, you two, work something out.

You're the only one who can transform the Sorceress's Library.

Koyomi, you can do it, right?

Do you think you can win?

I wonder about that.

Unlike those two, I'm perfectly fine with being underhanded.

That sounds fun. How about you show me?

I'm already doing it.

Once a Modern-Day Mage arrives on the scene,

the Codes have already been constructed.

I see.

The Christmas Shopper has already entered these ghostscripts.

You'd better hurry and take off your armor.

How about you die first?

You're good.

You too.

But there's a tremendously huge difference

in the rate at which I can construct Codes, Modern-Day Mage.

You two, hurry up!

We're doing this again.

How?

Once I hit him with a sword, a hole will open in his armor.

Pull the Code out from there.

Got it!

Transform to swords, my Code!

Yumiko-chan!

Not yet! Get the Code!

Damned animal!

Katamari!

So we're really finished...

Bring your friends and come here.

Bring your friends and come here...

No way!

Father... Mother...

Thank you.

Koyomi!

Right!

S-Stop!

"Kenjuro" is carved into the shaft.

One hundred years ago, he must have finished off Guibarthez with this.

He was a ghostscript, too.

That's why he was so fixated on the Sorceress's Library.

This is pretty bad.

I wonder if there's a vet open on Christmas Eve...

Let's do our best to recover the staff.

I don't even remember her name anymore...

But I'm sure I'll be able to see her soon.

I'll make sure to be good friends with her then!

Umm, I'm back...

That's weird. The Code wasn't even flowing through your body.

Um, about how long was I watching the ghostscript?

Twenty-three seconds.

Only a moment, I believe.

I see.

Huh?

All the effects from the Christmas Shopper's excess Code are gone.

Koyomi, did you use a Code?

Um... I kind of did, and I kind of didn't...

Oh, the password!

It's okay. I don't need it anymore.

But this is pretty weird...

That's why I should have done it!

I thought everyone would have been busy,

so I bought this for you.

You thought right!

Time to eat!

Thanks...

Koyomi, you have some, too.

Yumiko-chan, you're not using a knife and fork!

Morishita, I think you're teasing her a bit too much.

Y-You're right. Sorry.

As your punishment, take some to Soshiro too.

He's sure eating well!

Of course a cat's going to eat.

Katamari, you've sure gotten bigger.

Huh, how do you know his name?

Because he'll ball up and not move, right?

It's a cute name.

Did I tell you that?

Right, Katamari?

The differences between the girl mage and myself...

They're not just physical.

In order to get a magic item like Kerykeion,

the girl heads to the streets of Shibuya.
