Heard that, Akina?

Somewhere high up? Can't you be more specific?

Ao can't handle any more than that.

The city center... and somewhere high up.

They needed somewhere suitable for transmitting the field's waves over a wide area.

Got it!

The Tokyo Tower!

If we can pinpoint it, we can sort it out.

Shidou-san!

You can't! You physically can't leave town!

What do you mean? That's not possible—

I guess it is possible.

What are we supposed to do if we can't leave town?!

Stop the car!

I think I just figured it out.

Touka, give me a cough drop!

Huh? O-Okay.

Akina, hold out a little longer!

Shidou-san, drive right along the rails!

Okay.

You've got an idea?

I'll get out of this town all right. Just watch!

Okay! I'm trusting you on this!

Now then...

Good thing I installed this!

Even with this field up, you're quite strong.

Ogres are truly impressive.

Why are you attacking the town? What is your motive?

We are following our mayor's orders.

For secretaries, their mayor's orders are absolute.

Is that so?

But that mayor of yours, Morino...

He always whined a lot, but he was never this cruel!

That is not for me to judge.

Kyousuke!

Stay out of this, Akina!

You may be Dutybound, but you're still only human!

Don't get involved in a fight between dæmons!

How could I—

Akina! Listen to me!

If we both go down here, then who...

then who's gonna protect this city, Kohime, and milady?

"Milady?"

I heard that her predecessor was a great mayor. They still tell stories of her.

But what about the current one?

Is she really someone you would be willing to die for?

Of cour—

Kyousuke!

The good things! Think back on the good things!

Very good.

You've gotta resist the urge now, Hime-chan.

Not that it matters.

I will complete my mission.

Tuning!

Akina!

Let's retreat for now!

We just have to stall until the field's lifted!

That's way easier said than done!

She... Kotoha said she's got it covered!

What do we do?

For now let's just hide somewhere and—

Watch out!

Kyousuke?!

Hey, Kyousuke!

You caught up already?

Get in! Quick!

Man, you've really taken a beating.

Thanks a lot! You saved us!

Thank Ao-chan. She used her last drop of strength to find you.

I see.

Wait, Kotoha... Where's Kotoha?

Don't tell me they got her!

Kotoha's right behind us.

Behind us?

Wait, what?

There she comes!

A train cannon?!

Man, my throat's so sore!

Are they planning to shoot from here?

There's no way they'd hit it.

I am a Powerspeaker.

If I say it'll hit, then it's gonna hit!

Huh? What?

Yae-san?

All according to plan!

It's gone! The field's gone!

Wake up, Onii-chan!

What was with that wind?

You can borrow her for now.

\h\hGotta go Hime

Good luck.

Going nowhere

Thanks, Shidou-san.

I'll go with you.

No, you should stay here.

But—

Protect them. It's for the town's sake.

They risked their lives, after all.

Please.

Fine.

It's rude to keep the elderly waiting, you know.

It seems there's no one left capable of fighting.

I'll suffice.

I'll take you all on myself!

I'd rather hear that from someone who can actually fight.

Tunin—

Akina-san!

Tunin—

What?

To the west of the west of Sangen-Jaya station.

You've got some nerve...

wreaking havoc in our town.

I was planning to let you off the hook once you returned Kohime,

but I think I'll teach you two a lesson first!

Get lost!

Why you little...

Unfortunately for you,

you're not the only one who had their powers weakened.

Hime!

Hime-chan!

Akina.

Sorry.

This isn't such a walk in the park.

Onii-chan!

Onii-chan, get up!

Please!

Onii-chan, my legs hurt!

Suck it up and keep moving!

Hold it!

We're not going to eat you or anything!

Yeah!

Wherever we go, it's always the same.

I'm going to protect you!

Ow!

It hurts, Onii-chan!

Run!

You okay?

You're going to "protect" her?

It doesn't look that way at all.

People learn how to protect others by being protected themselves.

Until you become able to protect her, I'll protect you.

So come over to our town.

Well, that's what Grandma told me.

You don't need to add that.

I'm an ogre. Nobody's ever said something like that to me before.

Let's be friends!

Welcome to Sakura Newtown.

Get up already, Onii-chan.

Come on, Onii-chan!

So its powers were weakened, were they?

What a coincidence...

So were mine.

Battle preparations complete...

What's that?

Please use this.

O-Oh, thanks.

You too.

O-Okay.

I'm too hungry to fight that well.

Have a rice ball.

What else are you keeping in that pocket?!

Milady, please fix your collar.

As the mayor, you should always look presentable.

It seems that just one is far too few.

Akina, this is...

That's impossible.

Is he...

Is he striking them?

How? Aren't strikes a natural phenomena?

Being able to control those...

This old man... Could he be...

Kyousuke!

Yes!

How many can you take on?

Three, I believe.

Perfect.

I'll take four then!

Wait!

I can take one at lea—

Stay back.

But...

Juri-san told me about how tuning affects you.

You've used it too much today.

Leave the rest of the heavy lifting to us.

But right now...

Even though I'm running an office to help dæmons...

Dæmons and humans...

We should share the burdens we can't shoulder alone.

Remember what Juri-san said?

"Do what you can."

You do more for us dæmons than you realize.

That's right.

You're better suited to cooking in the kitchen with a smile on your face.

I mean, after all...

The food you make is delicious.

It's the best.

Wh-What?

Hime.

When this is over, I'll fix up your scarf, good as new.

So...

Finish this quick so you don't get hurt.

They're all yours.

Let's do this.

Okay!

Let's finish this up!

Shoot... What can I do right now?

Huh? What?!

I think I could've handled one more.

Likewise.

Well then, who's up next?

You can handle more?

Then I'd be happy to oblige!

There's no end to them!

Ready, and...

All right!

See that?!

That's the power of my custom-built crane!

Good work, dear!

Awesome!

Wha... Why haven't you evacuated?

Isn't that obvious?!

We can't depend on our mayor, so we have to defend ourselves!

Isn't that right?!

Honestly, even at a time like this?!

Insolent fools.

Hey, take out the whole shop.

Stop!

My dear masterpieces...

That's dangerous, dear!

Old man Jinroku!

What're you doing?

Crush it already!

You kids... protecting my shop...

Why are you doing all this?

"Why?"

What's wrong with a mayor protecting her town?

That scarf...

Isn't that important to you?!

Didn't you hear me?

I'll protect this town.

I'm the mayor, after all.

Compared to the town, this scarf...

This... scarf is...

I can't bear to watch anymore!

Give that to me!

Shut up!

What're you doing, old man?

Huh?

I feel power flowing through me.

Listen up!

Because you sealed our memories,

I forgot about something important I was holding on to! You fool!

The power of the earth flowing underground

is called the Earth Vein.

But some know it as the Dragon Vein!

Your grandmother entrusted it to me!

Take it already!

From Grandmother...

Grandmother's teachings... I've never once forgotten them.

Be loved by the people...

be loved by the town...

and be loved by the dragon!

This is the true Dragon Lance!

That makes no difference!

Get her!

Sixth stance:

Giraffe!

Seventy-first stance:

Thousand Birds!

Incredible...

Final stance:

Send them flying!

Great Fireworks!

Its authority is drawn from the depths of the earth's rage.

Roaring, as if spurred by imperial wrath.

It is called...

the Dragon Lance Sakanade.

Thank you, Grandmother.
