Rhodonite!

Found you.

I stand at a crossroads

Struggling in agony

Is the chosen path strewn with thorns the right path?

Or the wrong one?

Tell me, please

Jsura Cryin' 2

Every time someone is forced into a cruel choice

Their escape route is cut off

The only opposite for "weakness" I can think of is "attacking"

I must stand tall to get through this

Dive, I don't want to lose anything

Before I knew it, I had grown used to the sour stench of this

Field, this abandoned battlefield

I've been kissed by a dilemma of two choices

Sign, when the day comes

Give me a sign, I won't run away

Get it, Misao!

Okay!

All right, got it!

Natsume!

You knew that was gonna go right through you!

Hot! Spicy! It's in my eyes!

Geez, Tomo, you broke the plate again! How many does that make now?

Maybe working at a beachhouse just isn't right for him.

He's totally wasting this opportunity you got him, An.

Lodging, meals, and cute girls in swimsuits on the beach!

Plus you get paid to work in a beautiful vacation environment!

It's the perfect job.

You guys...

They sure are having fun!

If only Kurosaki were here, too.

Nothing we can do it about it, man.

Shuri and Nia said they had research to do.

Don't move.

Free but Inconvenient Choices

Stare...

Stare...

Stare...

So you guys are that serious already?

If you're going out, then just say so!

I've got my own stuff going on, you know!

Wh-what do you mean, your own stuff?!

I can't go into the details here.

U-um, it's almost shift change.

So, uh, I need an apron.

I'm gonna go get it!

Off she goes.

So they haven't gotten to the dating phase yet?

Is that so, Tomo?

Geez, please don't look at me like that!

Takatsuki and I aren't like that.

I don't want to go out with anyone right now.

Besides, I can't get into a relationship when my ghost friend would get in the way of things.

In the way of things?

Huh? Okay, wow!

Then, I guess the fact that you're a loser, virgin sixteen-year-old who's never had a girlfriend

is all my fault, huh?

No, it's not all your fault, but it is a little bit.

Hello?

Hi, Tomoharu!

Shuri?

Having fun on vacation?

I dunno about fun...

Misao?

What's up?

Did Sao catch you and Kanade being lovey-dovey and get really jealous?

Sh-Shuri, did you find what you were looking for?

Kinda.

Uh, what are you looking for, anyway?

Ruins.

Ruins?

Yeah, they might have something to do with releasing a Burial Doll.

Wait! Where is it?!

My, if I told you, would you come help me?

Well...

Shuri!

Sorry, Tomo, gotta go.

Hey, wait, Shuri-

What did she say?

Do you think Kurosaki would come join us once she finds what she's looking for?

Yeah, that might be hard.

Darn.

That's too bad.

Nia's with her too, right?

Releasing a Burial Doll...

Stop dallying!

Get your things together and move out!

Kyomu, sir, shouldn't we ask permission before taking the Castus Machina Betas?

Quiet!

Don't question my orders.

Just you wait, Kagakagari.

Yum!

Barbecue for lunch? What a treat!

This will really give us energy for the afternoon shift!

Takatsuki, could you put that meat on Tomo's plate?

Thanks, Takatsuki.

T-Takatsuki?!

Be careful, it's hot.

O-okay...

Hey, where's Misao?

What are you doing over here?

Nothing really.

It's fine.

I won't get in the way of you trying to get with Takatsuki.

Hey, look, I'm not trying to do that at all.

You sure about that?

Hey, if there's something you want to say, then say it, okay?

Well, I could say the exact same thing to you!

Tomo, you're hiding something from me, aren't you?

Huh? Wait, what?

Ever since the hijacking incident, you've been acting kinda weird.

What happened after I fell asleep?

Nothing really.

You know what happened.

The plane landed and nobody got hurt.

Nothing happened.

Does Takatsuki know about the thing you're hiding?

So it's something Takatsuki can know, but I can't.

Misa-

Tomo, you moron! You big loser!

You wishy-washy big-boob addict!

I brought over some meat that's finished.

Are you guys arguing about something?

It's not really an argument.

Misao just...

Oh, yeah?

Well, darn...

So what do you wanna do about it, Tomo?

Do about it?

About not wanting to go out with Takatsuki.

I mean, my situation kind of makes it hard to go out with anyone, doesn't it?

How am I supposed to have a normal relationship?

Are you sure you're not just feeling guilty about Misao?

You were both on that plane, but you were the one who survived.

Do you think you could be feeling bad about that?

If I were her, I would hate that.

I'd hate it if that were the reason you couldn't be happy.

I'd be mad, too.

Kyomu, sir, it's impossible!

There's nowhere for us to land, let alone drop the containers!

Useless fools.

Bismuth!

Kyomu, sir, not here!

Shut up! Be quiet and watch!

Now we can get down, right?

So, what is this, Higuchi?

It's summer! That means tests of courage!

We're gonna form pairs and go out to that island!

No, dude, look, that's not what I'm asking.

Was this path here earlier?

Nah...

It only opens up when the tide is low and reveals the reef.

Wow...

Why do you know that?

That island's pretty famous in the occult community.

It's got the ruins of a gun battery built in the early Meiji period,

and it hosts the Kuremizaki Observation Base!

So in that way, it's a cultural heritage spot,

but underneath it all, a terrifying monster is said to lurk in the depths.

Whoa!

I mean, it's just an urban legend.

Okay, let's start with Takatsuki and Tomoharu!

Each pair will head out ten minutes after the last one.

Takatsuki and I are a pair? Why?

'Cause we're going in alphabetical order.

Takatsuki and Natsume are closest to each other.

What about you, then?

I'm with Minakami.

What about An?

She went to bed early 'cause she was tired.

What, you don't wanna be paired up with Takatsuki?

N-no, that's not it, just...

Okay then, hurry on out there, c'mon!

Okey-dokey, my job here is done!

What are you plotting, Higuchi?

Kuremizaki Observation Base has another name: "Lover's Base."

If a boy and girl visit the island and express their love to one another,

they'll become a tight-knit couple!

Well, that's dumb.

Don't interfere.

I won't!

Were you going to say something?

Oh, uh...

So about the Asura Machina...

Asura Machina and their source of magic power...

Have you not told Minakami yet?

I don't want her to find out if I can help it.

At least, not until I find a way to get Misao out of Kurogane.

Still...

To be honest, I have no idea how to actually do that.

You don't have to worry about that.

I'll protect you, Natsume, in Minakami's stead.

I don't need you to stand in for Misao.

There's no reason for you to put yourself in danger for my sake, Takatsuki.

I don't want you to get hurt and pass out, like you did before.

I've already decided I will.

I've always hated myself,

both my demonic powers, and the name "Takatsuki".

But you saved me, Natsume.

You were the one who saved me from that, Natsume.

Takatsuki...

This is the choice I've made.

Tomoharu?

Shuri?! And Nia?!

What are you two doing out here?

I-1 could ask the same of you two!

"What"?

These are the ruins I was looking for.

So that means the key to releasing a Burial Doll is in here?

Shuri, this is it.

This is where the entrance is.

I see, a hidden door.

The key mechanism would be underwater at high tide.

That's why we haven't been able to find a way in despite our previous efforts.

Can you get it to open?

Of course I can.

Right, her probability-changing ability.

I don't even need to use my powers on this kind of lock.

Wow!

Seems you've completely forgotten that Nia is a kid genius.

Apparently, her reflexes are genius-tier, too.

You're not gonna go?

Misao?

Seems someone's beaten us here.

Whoa...

That's a Castus Machina that was protecting these ruins.

It's completely destroyed.

Who did this?

An Asura Cryin'.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Kyomu Satomi, the man who stands at the top of the GD.

Don't you forget it.

Here comes another super-annoying opponent.

Nia?!

You just said "Asura Cryin", didn't you?

Does that mean Kagakagari is here?

Don't you get in my way.

I'm going to be the one to kill him.

Then you saw him, huh?

Was my sister...

Was she with him?

Nia...

You're the younger sister of Christina Fortuna, the demon Kagakagari made a contract with?

You do look alike.

So you did see her!

Want to trade information?

Trade information?

Indeed.

You tell me what I want to know, and I'll tell you what you want to know.

What do you want to know?

What is this place? What are these ruins?

It's an Asura Machina research facility.

Wow, is that so?

I didn't know for sure until we came in here, but it is, without a doubt.

We should be able to find a device that releases Burial Dolls from their Asura Machina in here.

That's what Kagakagari is here for.

It's your turn now, Kyomu Satomi!

What do you mean?

You promised that you would tell me what you know about my sister!

Did I, now?

You bastard!

Bismuth!

Nia!

Nia!

Castus Machina!

It would be a real pain if you ended up knowing too much.

That's why you're all going to die, right here and now!

Just so you know, these aren't just any old Castus Machina.

They're special versions equipped with protective armor and anti-demon weapons.

Let me go!

I don't think so.

I'm going to use you as a hostage to get to Takaya Kagakagari.

That bastard!

Tomo, summon Kurogane!

Hurry!

Tomo?!

Stand back, Natsume!

Takatsuki, stop!

Takatsuki!

That piddling attack? Is that all you can do?

That's too bad.

How about this, then?

Blacker than darkness, sharper than despair...

What?!

The fangs that lament the sins of science!

Bismuth!

A lance that nullifies magic...

You're pretty incredible, Shuri Kurosaki.

I was a taken a bit off-guard.

However, I'm already quite satisfied.

Now, die!

Now, die!

Oh, no!

Tomo, summon Kurogane!

Tomo!

Shuri!

Why?!

Why won't you summon Kurogane?!

Say something, Tomo!

Tomoharu!

Take Kanade and get out of here!

Go, Tomoharu!

I told you to die!

Brother...

Make up your mind

Make or breaking

Yes, I've only just learned of despair

Will your soul be eroded and worn away, leaving you mumbling?

Will you abandon me in a corner of your memories?

You move towards a different garden of flowers

The displeased baby's breath smiles oppressively

Make up your mind

Make or breaking

The noise is a far-off delight

The words I accidentally swallowed

Light, dark, shadow, a fated labyrinth

Say my faith isn't based on facts, say I'm needed

A sorrow too abrupt

(Is this love? Only I am left)

An arrow pierces my heart
