All right. How do you think we should deal with this?

Right...

You could really use some exercise.

R-Really sorry about that.

She seems to be by herself,

so how about we attack her head-on?

You know that I won't be able to do much if she deploys Magical Field, right?

Now that you mentioned it, things did end poorly last time.

You just had to bring that up again...

Do you take joy in having your colleague get shot?

Don't worry about it. You're safe, and that's what matters.

You strike me as a serious type, yet you're surprisingly laid-back.

I did put up a barrier spell in case she used a Magical Beam.

I'd appreciate if you could give me a heads-up.

Must you be getting in my way again, Uncle?

I'm a police officer, after all.

It's my job to protect this town.

Ew, what was that corny line?

That's way too try-hard, even for you.

Could you please stop heckling me?

I mean, you're always on my case and nagging me like some brat.

Seeing you do this just gets in my nerve.

Are you friends with psychics?

That's right!

He and I are best buddies!

Hold on.

I don't need you to speak on my behalf.

Whoa, rude!

You were the one who told me you wanted to get along with me!

I'm just saying that we should mind the time and circumstances, that's all.

You two seem pretty close.

I personally would love to get to know you better, too.

Hopping to another girl so soon?

Well, aren't you a player.

Shizuka Futari. Please remain quiet for a moment.

Why are you befriending some phony psychic?

Isn't it more fun to just get along than to fight them?

It really isn't.

I'd rather kill that psychic over there.

What?!

Simply forward, still moving on

So much for my quiet life...

Simply forward, still moving on

So much for my quiet life...

In the unseen areas

Everyone hides the pain they carry

A faint SOS, too quiet to be heard

Behind the smiles, they well up

The scars we don't want to touch

Everyone pretends not to notice, and the world goes on today

What the heck, it's all messed up again

Caught in pain, still I won't complain

A trembling heartbeat, restrained actions

Even if you stand alone, no doubt, the choice is yours

The unreachable screaming

Pulls me back again

Stand up, now

It's always the things I hold dearest

That crumble away into a different future

Even so, carry on

Beyond the darkness, I reach out to grasp the light

I won't let this break me down

Even if tattered, I'm still moving on

Hold my ground, fly so many times

Even in darkness, I'm still moving on

(Episode 2: Death Game and the Demon)

(Episode 2: Death Game and the Demon) Is this you pulling another trick?

(Episode 2: Death Game and the Demon) I am not.

I am not.

Shizuka Futari, do you know anything about this kind of ability?

Hard to say.

Could it be a psychic ability...

...that targets and eliminates certain creatures within a range?

It seems even Magical Pink has no idea about this.

How I wish Peeps were here...

I think I saw a brief flash around us.

Huh?

Are you sure?

Not entirely.

When it comes to a thing that surrounds people,

the first thing that comes to mind is the barrier magic Peeps taught me.

Hey.

Something's flying.

What?

Sounds like quite a racket over there.

It certainly does.

Can I have a moment?

What is it?

I'm sure you have things to say and settle about and with us.

But why don't we work together to get out of this bizarre situation for now?

If that's too much, perhaps a temporary truce?

Hm...

I'm sure you'd prefer to succeed in your revenge against psychics.

Sure.

I'll cooperate with you, Magical Middle-Aged Man.

I made it through that one!

(Freshly Baked Bread - Angel)

Did you kill him?

As you can see.

Naomi!!

No way! In a single blow?!

That's ain't just some ordinary demon.

What happens to an apostle who loses their partner?

Well, they are pretty much done for.

By the way, your orders please.

Take out the people in front of us, too.

I think we can deal with the female apostle who escaped...

...and the angel-apostle pair chasing after her later.

Good call.

I'd give it about 60 points.

Where are the other 40?

Again, everything will be as it was once this isolated space is gone.

If I'm up against an ordinary angel,

my single blow could wipe out the entire area with the angel in it.

I'll be sure to come up with a more insane order next time.

H-Hey, was that demon the one who defeated Virtue?

Angels can afford to die, but if we die, we're just gone, man.

Maybe we should retreat for now?

Enough chatting.

Shall we get rid of these angels?

Please do, Abaddon.

Leave it to me!

You crook.

A police officer steals a bike? Not sure if that's a sight people want to see.

I can't compete against your fast feet that you're so proud of without this!

Still bitter from what happened on the way to the scene?

No, no! I would never!

That one was close.

W-What?! Why?!

Wasn't there only one?!

Um, excuse me...

Don't come any closer!

I'm sorry, but I'd like to ask you a few questions...

That floating thing...

That's a demon, right?

Huh?

Me?

And y-you're an apostle, right?

What do you mean by that?

D-Don't come here! Stay away!

Please, spare my life...

I'll make it up to you later if you do, I promise!

So, pretty please?

She's really laying it on thick...

I'm sorry, but I have nothing to do with this young lady.

Don't lie to me!

Why are you in this isolated space, then?!

Isolated space?

Is that the name of the psychic ability?

Please, just let me go! Okay?

Come on, please?!

My name is Akemi!

I'd do absolutely anything for a handsome man like you!

Uh...

Naomi, are you okay?

T-Takayoshi!

Takayoshi, they tried to kill me! They attacked me out of nowhere!

Leave it to me.

I'll protect you, no matter what!

And so Naomi, formerly Akemi, smoothly lied through her teeth with a fake name.

Impressive!

What's with this wench?

That's a complete change of attitude in a heart beat.

Anyone would do that when their life is in danger.

There's something more concerning than that.

Wasn't that the thing that flew between the buildings earlier?

We won't let some demons kill us!

Naomi and I are going to survive this together!

That's right!

Just watch, Naomi!

I'll take down that demon in no time!

Do your best, Takayoshi!

I love you!

Mister, are you a psychic?

What?

That's the kind of question where giving the wrong answer could spell disaster!

What?! The hell are you on about, you demon?!

I'd like to confirm one thing, if I may.

What the hell does a demon's apostle want at a time like this?

What is this "demon" that you are talking about?

That floating thing!

That demon is under you, right?!

That brat in kimono beside you looks fishy as hell, too.

Not that I care which is which.

As long as I take out this accompanying demon,

I can do whatever to its apostle later.

She's actually the Magical Pink.

I can barely sense any power from her, so she can't be that powerful a demon.

Arche, take care of her!

Are you certain?

Yeah!

I need to take down at least one demon,

or I won't be able to face the angel who helped Naomi!

Understood.

What on earth is happening?

What a nutritious meal!

It's been ages since I've absorbed this much.

Arche!!

All right, then.

Shall we go after the angel and apostle who escaped?

Indeed we shall.

They've concealed their presence,

so let's search for them from somewhere high up.

You can follow me from the ground.

Won't you grant me the ability to fly?

Angels and demons can only grant their apostles one power unconditionally.

I've already granted you the power to manipulate life.

That's just how the rules of this proxy war work.

If you want more, you'll have to negotiate for them as rewards in the game.

Though I wouldn't mind carrying you in my arms while in the sky.

Very well.

I'll follow you on foot, so please lead the way.

Sure! Leave it to me!

Even Uncle has never held me in his hands.

I'm not letting some cryptic demons do that to me.

If anything, I want to be the one that held Uncle in my arms.

I'd rather hold him close than be held by him!

I want to bury my face in the neckline of his shirt...

...and breathe him in deeply!

Ahhh...

Uncle...

Arche!!

Why did you step in?

I was the one they were targeting.

We are under a truce right now.

She likely moved first out of fear of being stabbed in the back by her own allies.

I have to admit, I kind of like how attentive she can be.

Hey, Takayoshi!

What's the point an angel then if its defeated already?!

B-But it hasn't disappeared yet!

Hmm, I wonder who should I pick next.

Individuals suspected of being psychics are to be rendered unconscious

and transported to the bureau.

Shizuka Futari should be aware of this already.

So, what are you going to do?

She's deliberately trying to scare them...

W-Wait! You can take me instead of Naomi!

Take him instead!

Naomi?

Please disregard everything that I said before this.

You can do whatever you want with this man!

Please! I'll do anything!

Damn, that's just tragic.

You're so shamelessly brazen, it's almost refreshing.

I'll kill the psychic!

Oh no, this is bad!

She's definitely about to fire Magical Beam.

Wait...

Found you!

W-Why the hell is he coming here?!

You can't be serious... Why are you after me?!

An apostle's orders are absolute, so I'll take you down.

Shizuka Futari!

You too, Magical Pink!

Please...

Help me...

I don't want to die...

Too bad.

I'm afraid that's not an option.

No...

By the way...

The isolated space has come undone?

Ugh... What is this?

We've returned to the original world.

Ah, where do I even begin?

Honestly, I'd rather just drop it all and flee to another world.

Angels and demons who've lost their apostle...

...are forcibly sent back, no matter what they try.

Which means they're neither an angel nor a demon, let alone an apostle?

Say, what are you all exactly?

Shizuka Futari.

Please contact the section chief.

Understood.

Magical Pink, could you please come down to the ground?

Okay.

I'll do as you say, Magical Middle-Aged Man.

Thank you.

Wait, when we met before, could you actually see me back then?

What are you talking about?

I'm sure this is the first time we met.

I have insufficient information.

No conclusions can be drawn at this point.

I'd better focus on covering up the psychic's involvement for now.

That aside, are you all right?

You're covered in blood.

Yeah, I can't tell her about this...

What are you talking about?

Oh, nothing! Just thinking out loud!

The police should be here soon,

so please contact your parents if you can.

Well then, I'll be taking my leave!

Ah, wait a moment...

Say.

What is it?

Something's been bugging me.

Haven't we been roaming around about a fair bit?

We have.

Somehow, time's gone backwards.

What?

That seems to be the case...

Feels like we've been hoodwinked or something.

Guess I can't put in for overtime now.

You're surprisingly fussy about these things.

I don't think I compare to you, honestly.

I'm going home for today.

Huh?

See you around, Magical Middle-Aged Man.

She didn't even bother to say one for me too, I see.

Let's look forward to the next opportunity.

After that, I learned from the other officers that I'd been promoted...

...from Assistant Inspector to Inspector.

I felt the new title was far beyond what I deserved,

but regardless of that, if I could show that I was making an effort,

it might become easier to get along at the bureau.

Then we report to Chief Akutsu.

We began by recounting our conversations with Takayoshi and Naomi,

as well as what happened to the angel whose energy Shizuka Futari had drained.

We were asked about how we confirmed that time had gone backward,

about our involvement with the psychic who had been attacked by Magical Pink.

All sorts of questions were asked thoroughly.

Seeing how he questioned us from every possible angle for the report,

he probably has insufficient information as well.

There's one last thing I'd like to confirm from you both.

Why were you two the only ones there affected by the ability that reversed time?

Try to guess.

If you've given it any thought so far, I'd like you to share your ideas with me.

We're having trouble understanding that ability as well.

Perhaps we got caught up in it when we went after Magical Pink?

Actually, I already have a theory at this point.

The three of us who were there...

...were surrounded by some kind of magical phenomenon.

Perhaps that could've interfered someone else's psychic ability.

But if that's the case, then our encounter with that world...

...where everyone had disappeared wasn't an attack aimed at us.

Rather, we were likely stumbled into someone else's psychic ability...

...without them expecting anyone to be there.

Putting it that way explains the shock of the mysterious boy.

That's exactly why I don't want to discuss this any further.

I see...

That's unfortunate.

Speaking of which, there's something I'd like to confirm as well.

What is it?

What is our task starting tomorrow?

I'd like you both to continue with the assignment I gave you earlier.

The Lizardman, wasn't it?

I'll issue further instructions regarding this case...

...as soon as we receive any new lead.

Understood.

After finishing our duties at the bureau,

it was time to rendezvous with Peeps!

We picked up the supplies needed for our trade...

...with the Kepler Trading Company at the base Shizuka Futari had secured,

then set off for the other world.

Shizuka Futari had recently started saying she wanted to come along, too, but...

Unfortunately for her, we had to decline.

Our short stays in the other world were our time to unwind.

I was not letting any more trouble to follow us there.

Lady Elsa is engaged?!

Yeah.

As the only daughter of the Müller family,

she was raised like a delicate flower, kept safe from the world's hardships.

This should be a momentous occasion for her, but...

And who is the prospective groom?

Well...

Prince Louis the First Prince has sought my daughter as his principal concubine.

I see.

So that's what's troubling you.

I believe you've met him before, when you visited the royal palace...

...to receive your baronial title, Lord Sasaki.

Prince Louis the First Prince?

That handsome guy?

My sincerest apologies for raising a personal matter.

However, as it appears likely to bear on my standing hereafter,

I took the liberty of speaking with you both at the earliest opportunity.

I did consult His Highness Adonis as well,

but this is ultimately a matter for the parties directly involved, so...

It would appear that Louis is in earnest about seizing the throne.

Is that really fine with you, Julius?

No. It is not for a nobody noble like me to oppose the will of the royal house.

Be that as it may, but this is the most important decision for your daughter.

I can't argue with that.

This is, in any case, a matter for your house.

It isn't for us to insist.

However...

If there's anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.

Starsage...

W-We have an emergency!

Lady Elsa is hanging by the neck in her room!

She's attempted to take her own life!

What?! - Wha...
