This is my dream of that day.

Mom, I'm hungry!

Okay, Misa-chan.

What do you want, some cheesecake or a pear tart?

A tart!

Got it. I'll make it now, so wait just a second.

Hurry! Hurry!

Okay.

But,

I was about to do something that I could never take back.

The Daemon, summoned and sealed in a bottle by my mother, over a year's time,

had turned to Code...

That which hails from a distant Layer,

In an attempt to control it,

yield to my will.

I messed up.

That which hails from a distant Layer, yield to my will.

I did it!

Mom!

Stay there!

Mom!

It's okay.

It's not scary anymore.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

After that amount of exertion,

given her lack of initial physical strength,

she died while giving birth to Soshiro.

Mom!

Thank you for choosing us for your flight today.

We departed from Yamagata and will arrive in Haneda.

Numerous Windows Broken at Electronics Store, Suspect Still On the Loose

Small Fire at Games Company, Cause Unknown Will New Product's Release Be Delayed?

Lately, there have been a lot of unsolved incidents

with people using Codes for wrongdoing...

They're all little things that you'd miss

if you hadn't been paying close attention.

The Daemon-summoning incident that Yumiko stumbled upon...

Someone's definitely using computers to perform magic.

On top of that,

they're getting more advanced, like they're learning.

But who would do that and why?

An intruder?

Oh, Koyomi... I wonder what she's doing.

Clean the warehouse?

Yeah, we'd like to thank her for all the help she's given me.

Right?

Yeah.

I came here since you guys asked,

but why do I have to clean Misa's house?

I thought you were supposed to be Morishita's backup.

What does that even mean?

By the way, where is Misa?

I don't know.

She left to buy some meat and hasn't come back.

Well, I imagine she'll be back by dinner.

Hey! Get your act together!

If you're just going to make it messier, go back home!

Looks like dinner tonight will be fun.

Almost makes it worth my getting on this flight...

I didn't really want to, though.

I had a feeling something bad was going to happen.

A group of black cats crossed my path.

My brand-new high heels broke.

I decided to get some coffee,

and something else came out instead.

I hope nothing else happens.

Whoops.

The Daemon-summoning Code that Yumiko brought to me...

It's a modified version of the worm I made a long time ago.

That's the Christmas Shopper?

Yes.

On Christmas Eve, this virus makes all the idle computers around the world

start up on their own and play "Daisy Daisy" for several seconds.

New Virus Strikes on Christmas Eve! Largest Number of Infected Systems Ever!

The total number of infected PCs is said to be four or five million.

Wow. That many?

The Christmas Shopper was quite the large magical ceremony, creating a single magical item.

But, something of that scale was required to make a simple stone

into an amulet embedded with 2048 variable Codes.

I guess the police suspected me thanks to that...

You did it!

Using someone's computer without permission

is considered damage to electronic systems and obstruction of business!

Hey, I wouldn't do something like that.

Are you sure you're not hiding something?

If you bring me some katsudon,

I might remember something.

Well, I don't really mind,

but you're paying.

Didn't Detective Friday say he'd get me some-

Who's Detective Friday? You've been watching too many dramas!

I'm disappointed.

You're Anehara Misa, aren't you?

Who are you?

Nice to meet you. I'm Gary Huang.

Like yourself, I'm a person of interest in the Christmas Shopper case.

Sorry for having you get me something.

Not a problem.

In any event, we're both pretty unlucky.

Who would have thought they would go and interrogate people?

They're just going around,

grabbing any talented programmers they can find.

I bet they don't even have a clue who it is.

Huang was a student from Hong Kong, studying abroad, and a really talented programmer.

I thought he'd know who created the Daemon-summoning Code

since he's offered to help with a lot of cases, but...

This is probably Jinzai Tsukumo's work.

Jinzai Tsukumo...

An e-mail?

"Hello! Are you enjoying your smooth flight?"

"I know it's sudden, but I have something important to tell you."

"On the plane you're on there's actually...

a bomb"?

That's kind of an unnerving joke.

And they seem to know what I'm doing.

The source of the transmission is moving...

I guess I'll stop them first.

Who are you?

Oh, I was noticed?

One New E-mail

Boom

"Are you sure you have time to take me on?"

"If you don't hurry and find the bomb, it'll explode!"

A bomb, huh?

That's quite the pickle...

Good luck today.

My.

I guess I can't just let it go.

Looks like that bad feeling was right.

We're done!

It's all clean now.

Well, it wasn't that bad.

Yeah!

Done here, too.

Wow!

All the junk is out of sight.

Yeah, we went through a lot.

Tell Misa to stop buying so much stuff.

I tell her that all the time, but she doesn't listen.

You guys want some dinner, right?

I'm going shopping. What do you want?

Hm, how about a stew?

Peking duck.

I feel like having some black pudding.

At least agree on the type of food.

It's not here...

Well, I doubt they'd put it in such an easy place.

Is something the matter?

Oh, nothing.

Don't worry about it.

I couldn't really ask her to look for the bomb with me.

If I can't ask a person for help,

I guess I can ask the jini living in the electronics.

jini, do you see any signs that something suspicious was snuck in here?

No, ma'am!

No, ma'am!

No, ma'am!

All clear, then...

Nothing here.

Nothing wrong here, either.

Mama, there's someone outside!

That's nice.

Nothing to be found...

Was something strange really snuck in here?

Yes, ma'am!

I wanted the search to end with Jinzai Tsukumo.

Jinzai went missing a few months ago.

He's not really dead, is he?

This is...

Found it!

Having confirmed that Jinzai was the author of the summoning Code,

I snuck around in a government office's database,

and I found his parents' address.

You really were alive, Jinzai Tsukumo-san.

There's something I want to ask you regarding the Code you created.

A long time ago,

when I first saw the Christmas Shopper,

I thought to myself that I wanted to write a similar program.

I reverse assembled the executable I stumbled across, researching it for months.

I was really excited when I finally got somewhere.

Then why are you hiding in a place like this?

That's because...

It was completely different than what I'd imagined.

With digital calculations,

if you give a system a bad order,

the system will carry out those bad instructions to the letter.

But I couldn't control that program at all!

I didn't even have a clue as to how to control it.

It wasn't science at all.

I got scared, destroyed everything, and ran back here!

I see.

So you're not the one who summoned the Daemons.

What are you talking about?

The Code you said you destroyed is still alive.

I don't know! It wasn't me!

I have nothing to do with it anymore! Leave me alone!

Who's using Jinzai's Code?

This is...

Was it really necessary that we all go shopping?

But thanks to that, we got tons of eggs, vegetables,

and other things limited to one per customer.

Because someone here likes to eat a lot,

my wallet thanks you.

Who's that?

That's mean!

This is pretty suspicious.

How did they get it in here, considering everything that's been going on?

Here we go!

A jack-in-the-box?

Damn it!

So he just wanted to distract me?

What a lot of trouble for a simple theft...

What's going on?

I don't know! It seems like all electronic systems just went down.

The APU won't start, either!

A fake bomb and then a blackout...

He sure was cautious.

Mr. Bear!

It's okay.

It's not scary anymore.

I'm borrowing your bear for just a bit.

It'd suck to crash.

And I have some hungry kids waiting for me,

so I have to get home on time.

My cell!

I thought I turned it off.

We're going to crash!

Clear the runway! Do it now!

Have emergency vehicles standing by!

Prepare to put out any fires!

It's Mr. Bear!

Thank goodness!

Mr. Bear!

Home is where the heart is...

This meat is really good!

It is! Yonezawa beef is the best.

But how many hours did you spend buying that meat?

But, on the way, I saved a plane that was going to crash.

It was a lot of work!

All you do is say these ridiculous things.

But it's true.

I guess you really do need a mage if you're going to take on another mage.

An evil mage revives,

and a Modern-Day mage and a Classical Mage fight with both their lives on the line.

Gary Huang's plan now begins to move.
