00:01.300 --> 00:08.300
<i>As Fushi investigates the relationship 
between the Guardians and the Nokkers...</i>

00:08.920 --> 00:11.200
It's been a long time, Fushi.

00:11.200 --> 00:12.600
It's me.

00:12.600 --> 00:15.130
The one who's been inside the 
Guardians for generations.

00:15.670 --> 00:17.340
The Nokker.

00:18.190 --> 00:19.970
<i>After some contemplation,</i>

00:20.640 --> 00:24.360
<i>Fushi comes to a decision.</i>

00:26.560 --> 00:29.070
No more playing human.

02:00.030 --> 02:04.030
Their Home

02:05.370 --> 02:07.020
Mizuha, get up.

02:12.450 --> 02:15.260
Get away, or I'll cut you down with her.

02:16.920 --> 02:19.300
Fushi... Why...

02:25.800 --> 02:26.820
That's right.

02:26.820 --> 02:27.790
You.

02:27.790 --> 02:30.630
I'm going to free that body from you.

02:30.630 --> 02:32.530
What are you talking about, Fushi?

02:32.530 --> 02:33.950
Move, Mizuha!

02:33.950 --> 02:36.100
I can't cut it down when you're in the way!

02:36.100 --> 02:37.830
Run, Mizuha! Now!

02:37.830 --> 02:39.940
No! I'm not leaving you behind!

02:41.740 --> 02:43.010
Nokker.

02:43.010 --> 02:45.950
If there's anything you've left 
unsaid with that stolen mouth,

02:45.950 --> 02:47.830
now's your time to say it.

02:52.320 --> 02:53.570
What's wrong?

02:54.190 --> 02:55.750
It's nothing.

02:56.040 --> 02:58.390
I put my roots in that body.

02:59.320 --> 03:03.510
Almost all of the roots in the ground 
are the ones I made a long time ago.

03:03.510 --> 03:04.960
I can control them at will.

03:05.620 --> 03:07.730
You have no escape.

03:08.200 --> 03:10.710
My roots are running all 
throughout your body.

03:11.630 --> 03:14.060
All I have to do is make molten metal,

03:14.060 --> 03:17.210
and your body will be 
burned up from the inside.

03:17.810 --> 03:19.510
Please don't do it.

03:19.510 --> 03:21.570
Please! Don't kill Mom!

03:25.070 --> 03:27.560
What's wrong with you, Fushi?

03:27.560 --> 03:29.040
She's my mom!

03:29.040 --> 03:30.400
You're wrong.

03:30.400 --> 03:34.510
Your mother is so worried for you that she's 
still lingering here, unable to pass on.

03:35.120 --> 03:36.300
Mizuha...

03:36.300 --> 03:37.710
It's okay.

03:37.710 --> 03:39.720
It doesn't hurt at all.

03:39.720 --> 03:41.780
It doesn't hurt. Don't worry.

03:41.780 --> 03:45.430
Now, go on home and have some stew.

03:45.430 --> 03:47.040
Dad's waiting.

03:47.040 --> 03:48.210
Mom...

03:48.210 --> 03:50.110
Why don't you retaliate?

03:50.110 --> 03:52.380
Either of you.

03:52.380 --> 03:55.480
A Nokker ought to at least 
be able to flail around.

03:56.100 --> 03:59.520
Do you want Mizuha to see 
someone being burned alive?

03:59.520 --> 04:00.440
No...

04:00.440 --> 04:04.240
I don't even know if it's the 
real Mizuha speaking right now.

04:04.240 --> 04:06.070
It isn't even worth thinking about.

04:06.480 --> 04:07.690
It's all false.

04:07.690 --> 04:10.280
Both your mother and you now.

04:10.280 --> 04:13.350
I need to vacate the vessels 
overtaken by frauds.

04:13.350 --> 04:15.540
That's the most justice I can offer.

04:15.540 --> 04:17.850
It'll be hot, but you'll 
just have to bear it.

04:17.850 --> 04:19.590
I'll give you the quickest death I can.

04:20.040 --> 04:21.330
Why...

04:21.330 --> 04:22.790
Stop! Please!

04:22.790 --> 04:23.850
Accept it!

04:23.850 --> 04:25.060
Please, Fushi!

04:25.060 --> 04:26.930
I need Mom!

04:26.930 --> 04:29.980
Mom's the only reason 
I could face my life again!

04:30.420 --> 04:32.970
You'd rather choose an impostor?

04:32.970 --> 04:37.590
My new mom doesn't make me into a trophy!

04:37.870 --> 04:40.450
She doesn't tell me to do things!

04:40.450 --> 04:42.980
She doesn't stare me down and corner me,

04:42.980 --> 04:46.000
and she doesn't use my time for her own sake!

04:46.480 --> 04:50.700
She had what it took to 
change my miserable life!

04:50.700 --> 04:54.660
I finally made friends! I was 
enjoying every day of my life!

04:54.660 --> 04:57.880
Can't you see who's more 
fit to be my mom?

04:58.200 --> 05:02.580
If you're actually worried for me, 
please don't hurt the people I care about!

05:03.030 --> 05:05.210
It's okay, Mizuha.

05:05.500 --> 05:08.040
Thank you. I love you.

05:14.260 --> 05:15.970
Mom? Mom?

05:15.970 --> 05:17.360
Mom!

05:19.230 --> 05:20.400
I'm all right.

05:20.400 --> 05:21.770
I seem to be back to normal.

05:21.770 --> 05:23.160
Mom, are you sure?

05:25.820 --> 05:27.190
Fushi...

05:27.710 --> 05:31.860
Thank you for understanding 
the ones who matter to me.

05:36.150 --> 05:37.210
Fushi...

05:38.590 --> 05:40.030
I couldn't kill it.

05:40.390 --> 05:42.620
Yeah... You did good.

05:49.230 --> 05:50.550
Watch it, asshole!

05:56.920 --> 06:00.470
It felt pain and shed tears.

06:02.120 --> 06:04.990
It protected its daughter and lied.

06:04.990 --> 06:06.690
It doesn't hurt at all.

06:06.690 --> 06:10.150
It really is no different from a human.

06:10.150 --> 06:12.780
She's a full-fledged human being, 
with love and everything.

06:12.780 --> 06:16.010
I don't even know what we should 
be fighting against anymore.

06:16.010 --> 06:18.280
But the Nokkers are better off gone.

06:18.280 --> 06:20.250
Right, Bon?

06:20.250 --> 06:21.870
It's only natural that you're hesitant.

06:22.170 --> 06:25.280
Don't blame yourself for not 
being able to finish it off.

06:25.280 --> 06:26.340
It isn't about being right.

06:26.660 --> 06:29.560
Emotions are what makes 
the world so interesting.

06:29.560 --> 06:33.300
Fushi's being watched by 
the Nokkers as we speak.

06:33.750 --> 06:36.720
If only there was a way to 
contact them from our end...

06:36.720 --> 06:41.130
How do they even share information 
among themselves, anyway?

06:41.480 --> 06:46.240
Black One, is there anyone infected 
by the Nokkers that you can see?

06:49.020 --> 06:50.180
That person?

06:50.180 --> 06:51.500
Is it half-merged?

06:51.500 --> 06:53.240
No, fully-merged.

06:53.240 --> 06:55.950
Half-merged? Fully-merged?

06:55.950 --> 06:57.960
They're terms that we coined.

06:58.420 --> 07:05.220
There are several patterns to the 
way the Nokkers act on the humans.

07:05.220 --> 07:09.860
Normally, they spend their time dormant, 
and the humans act of their own volition.

07:09.860 --> 07:12.920
In that state, they're no different from us.

07:12.920 --> 07:18.040
But occasionally, the Nokker 
awakens and controls the body.

07:18.040 --> 07:22.430
When a Nokker and a human coexist 
inside a body, it's half-merged.

07:22.430 --> 07:25.270
And then there's the state in which 
a human soul has fully left the body

07:25.270 --> 07:27.320
and a Nokker has taken over.

07:27.320 --> 07:29.580
It lives in place of that person.

07:29.580 --> 07:30.520
That's—

07:30.520 --> 07:31.940
Fully-merged.

07:32.210 --> 07:36.150
So that's what's happened 
to Mizuha-senpai's mother.

07:37.230 --> 07:38.620
Hold it, Fushi!

07:38.620 --> 07:40.790
There are too many people here.

07:40.790 --> 07:42.580
I think I can take it on.

07:42.580 --> 07:43.590
Take it easy.

07:43.590 --> 07:44.380
I <i>am</i>!

07:44.580 --> 07:47.960
Are you sure you can do better this 
time than you did with Izumi-san?

07:48.340 --> 07:50.520
There are too many Nokkers to count.

07:50.520 --> 07:52.180
You can't be sure things will

07:52.180 --> 07:54.300
work out nicely like they did 
with Mimori and Hirotoshi.

07:54.300 --> 07:58.160
We ought to give it some thought, 
even if we want to exterminate them.

07:59.280 --> 08:01.480
Hey, maybe they have a boss.

08:01.480 --> 08:03.670
Like, a final boss type that 
oversees all the Nokkers.

08:05.510 --> 08:08.700
Let's find that one and work something out!

08:08.700 --> 08:10.610
We make a peace agreement!

08:10.610 --> 08:13.850
I haven't given up yet 
on a heart-to-heart talk!

08:13.850 --> 08:16.560
Like Funa-senpai from the naginata club.

08:16.560 --> 08:18.720
Maybe she knows something...

08:19.170 --> 08:22.410
Shoo! Shoo! I'll tell you later!

08:22.410 --> 08:24.240
Silence!

08:24.240 --> 08:26.800
How dare you call me a middle-aged man?!

08:26.800 --> 08:28.390
What's wrong, Bon-san?

08:28.390 --> 08:29.950
Are there spirits here?

08:29.950 --> 08:30.970
Indeed.

08:30.970 --> 08:33.590
I want to have a serious conversation.

08:33.590 --> 08:34.950
Let's go elsewhere.

08:36.390 --> 08:40.270
Fen, Nixon, and Izumi-san are back.

08:40.270 --> 08:41.460
And?

08:41.460 --> 08:44.970
Did they find out anything about who 
the Mimori Nokker was referring to?

08:44.970 --> 08:48.960
That day, when we started 
following the Mimori Nokker,

08:48.960 --> 08:51.810
she left home after everyone 
had gone to sleep.

09:03.650 --> 09:06.730
Through the seemingly endless maze...

09:10.510 --> 09:12.600
It appeared to be an area underground,

09:13.700 --> 09:18.590
fortified with steel so that 
Fushi's roots couldn't reach.

09:42.210 --> 09:45.710
Izumi-san had apparently known for some time.

09:45.710 --> 09:49.950
Fen and Nixon were silenced and 
persuaded to side with Izumi-san.

09:50.380 --> 09:54.830
Her own daughter was the leader of the 
religious order ruling over the Nokkers.

09:56.020 --> 10:00.590
Should we learn of that truth, 
there would be bloodshed.

10:00.590 --> 10:03.210
As a mother, she wanted to avoid that.

10:03.210 --> 10:07.350
But now that Mizuha's Nokker 
has revealed itself to Fushi,

10:07.350 --> 10:09.640
there's no reason to hide.

10:11.920 --> 10:14.740
So by "that person," it meant Mizuha.

10:15.180 --> 10:18.060
The 18th generation of the Guardians.

10:18.060 --> 10:20.650
She's looking for my life 
and trying to take it.

10:20.650 --> 10:24.440
Wait, I thought the Guardians 
existed to protect you, Fushi.

10:24.440 --> 10:29.260
But it's the Nokker inside 
Mizuha's body that's in charge.

10:29.260 --> 10:31.880
Mizuha herself is unaware of it all.

10:31.880 --> 10:33.920
So she's half-merged.

10:34.210 --> 10:35.300
Yes.

10:35.300 --> 10:39.870
It can't be allowed to do what it wants 
with a fourteen-year-old girl's body.

10:39.870 --> 10:42.880
We must separate the Nokker 
from her and save her.

10:42.880 --> 10:43.780
No way!

10:43.780 --> 10:46.400
The final boss is inside Mizuha-senpai?!

10:46.400 --> 10:50.030
Just like how Mimori-chan had Hirotoshi,

10:50.030 --> 10:52.090
Mizuha-senpai needs her hero!

10:52.090 --> 10:52.970
Hero?

10:52.970 --> 10:54.910
That's you, of course, Fushi.

10:54.910 --> 10:58.140
I hate to admit it, but I 
don't have that kind of power.

10:58.140 --> 11:00.370
You don't need to save Mizuha anymore.

11:00.370 --> 11:01.610
It's too late for her.

11:03.570 --> 11:04.730
Bon?

11:04.730 --> 11:10.530
Back there, Mizuha chose 
to coexist with the Nokker.

11:10.530 --> 11:12.480
Don't save her?

11:12.480 --> 11:15.010
Don't you think that's a little 
cold? She's your daughter.

11:15.340 --> 11:16.890
Is that what she's saying?

11:16.890 --> 11:17.790
Yeah.

11:17.790 --> 11:22.550
She seems to have lost hope since 
she chose her fake mother over her.

11:22.870 --> 11:24.110
Don't give up!

11:24.110 --> 11:25.880
There must be some way!

11:25.880 --> 11:30.130
We got Mimori back, thanks to Hirotoshi, 
even after she was completely taken over!

11:30.130 --> 11:34.350
Maybe if we can give Senpai a reason 
to live, she'll want to be saved!

11:35.010 --> 11:37.620
Did Izumi-san want to die, too?

11:38.740 --> 11:42.980
The Nokkers have been taking over the 
bodies of people who were wishing to die.

11:42.980 --> 11:44.620
Mizuha wanted to die, too.

11:44.620 --> 11:46.150
Did you know that?

11:46.150 --> 11:47.570
I never knew.

11:48.320 --> 11:50.570
Not until I heard them talking.

11:51.160 --> 11:55.080
I'd raised Mizuha wrong.

11:55.080 --> 11:56.790
It was all my fault.

11:57.150 --> 11:59.100
I'm stubborn and obstinate.

11:59.550 --> 12:01.370
I have been since I was little.

12:06.870 --> 12:08.520
Well done!

12:08.520 --> 12:10.180
You always impress me, Izumi-san.

12:10.820 --> 12:13.880
Look at her, being teacher's pet again.

12:13.880 --> 12:16.270
It's not her fault. I mean, 
you know about her family?

12:19.390 --> 12:24.120
I grew up never learning 
how to open myself up.

12:24.850 --> 12:27.160
Welcome home, Izumi-sama.

12:27.160 --> 12:29.610
My, how you've grown!

12:29.610 --> 12:31.820
Well, we'll be off now.

12:32.170 --> 12:34.660
I hope to see you at the 
regular conference sometime.

12:35.260 --> 12:37.910
When are we done with this cult organization?

12:37.910 --> 12:40.700
Did they insult you at school again?

12:41.140 --> 12:42.670
When are we quitting?

12:42.670 --> 12:46.210
I hated my family for running the order.

12:47.460 --> 12:50.450
We have the protection of God.

12:50.450 --> 12:52.220
Remember the scriptures.

12:52.220 --> 12:57.170
Believe, and someday, you will be granted 
the power of Founder Hayase-sama.

12:57.170 --> 13:00.190
And with that power, you'll save the weak.

13:00.190 --> 13:02.630
What power? It's just a Nokker.

13:02.630 --> 13:05.040
Everyone says they're the enemy.

13:05.350 --> 13:06.630
That interpretation is wrong!

13:06.630 --> 13:08.230
How many times do I have to tell you?!

13:08.230 --> 13:11.350
The Nokker inside Hayase-sama is sacred!

13:11.350 --> 13:15.240
Together with Fushi, they protected 
Renril, and after peace came,

13:15.240 --> 13:18.950
she returned to paradise with 
the sixth generation, Kahaku.

13:18.950 --> 13:23.550
Should the world desire peace once more,

13:23.550 --> 13:27.910
Hayase-sama's Nokker will return to us 
to complete their duty as a Guardian!

13:28.240 --> 13:30.230
Spend more time reading the scriptures!

13:30.230 --> 13:32.530
It's going to be your duty 
to raise the next leader!

13:34.000 --> 13:35.570
Next leader?

13:36.830 --> 13:41.170
Thank you for gathering today.

13:41.170 --> 13:43.300
This regular conference is...

13:42.350 --> 13:45.190
I completed my duty, just as I was ordered.

13:45.190 --> 13:47.190
But it just wasn't for me.

13:47.460 --> 13:50.550
I knew that, but there 
was nothing I could do.

13:51.800 --> 13:53.880
Well done, Izumi.

13:54.230 --> 13:57.820
You have what it takes to guide the order.

13:57.820 --> 13:59.100
Mom...

14:05.310 --> 14:07.260
She was still young...

14:07.260 --> 14:09.290
It's unfortunate that she's had to pass.

14:10.880 --> 14:13.440
I'll be protecting you going forward.

14:13.440 --> 14:14.340
Don't worry.

14:14.340 --> 14:16.200
Who are you?

14:16.200 --> 14:17.740
This is Chamihiko-san.

14:17.740 --> 14:19.370
He's your fiancé.

14:19.930 --> 14:24.020
He's studious, athletic, and the 
most pious man in the order.

14:24.020 --> 14:26.150
I'm sure he'll give you a strong child.

14:26.870 --> 14:30.290
You're flattering me, Reverend.

14:30.690 --> 14:32.140
Dad...

14:32.140 --> 14:34.400
Mom just died, you know.

14:34.650 --> 14:37.200
We can't allow the lineage to be broken.

14:37.200 --> 14:39.800
Your child will become the 18th generation.

14:39.800 --> 14:42.020
You ought to have a child soon!

14:42.020 --> 14:43.890
Stop it! No way!

14:43.890 --> 14:45.080
Wait, Izumi!

14:54.160 --> 14:57.230
I felt that was my only chance to leave.

14:57.910 --> 15:00.410
And I never returned home.

15:01.990 --> 15:04.180
I've never regretted my decision.

15:04.690 --> 15:06.810
What should we name her?

15:06.170 --> 15:09.360
The 18th generation! The 18th generation!

15:09.360 --> 15:10.490
She's born!

15:10.490 --> 15:11.840
Why are you here?!

15:11.840 --> 15:13.490
Help! He's going to kidnap me!

15:13.490 --> 15:15.620
You! What do you want?!

15:15.620 --> 15:16.460
Let me go!

15:16.460 --> 15:18.420
I'd made up my mind.

15:18.420 --> 15:21.060
I'd raise her to be better than anyone,

15:21.060 --> 15:23.880
and I'd make my father 
and the order regret it.

15:24.640 --> 15:27.130
I made the right choice.

15:27.130 --> 15:29.340
And I was determined to prove it.

15:29.340 --> 15:31.780
And Mizuha's the best evidence.

15:32.290 --> 15:34.460
Mizuha did everything.

15:34.460 --> 15:36.460
She could absorb anything.

15:40.330 --> 15:42.310
I'm so proud of her.

15:42.630 --> 15:45.870
She has more than what it 
takes to be the 18th generation.

15:47.760 --> 15:49.140
You lied to me!

15:49.140 --> 15:50.980
You were with the Guardians!

15:50.980 --> 15:53.030
How much did my father pay you?!

15:53.030 --> 15:54.200
Do you enjoy doing this to me?!

15:54.200 --> 15:55.210
That's not it!

15:55.210 --> 15:58.110
I really did love you! 
It's just a coincidence!

15:58.110 --> 16:00.470
I had no intention of hurting you.

16:00.470 --> 16:02.200
Why didn't you tell me?

16:02.200 --> 16:03.970
I thought you'd hate me if I told you.

16:03.970 --> 16:06.620
So please, just don't divorce me.

16:06.930 --> 16:08.090
Mizuha.

16:08.090 --> 16:09.230
Mizuha!

16:09.230 --> 16:13.090
You don't want Mom and Dad 
to separate, do you?

16:13.090 --> 16:14.050
Separate?

16:14.050 --> 16:17.110
You wouldn't want me to be gone, would you?

16:18.150 --> 16:19.850
No...

16:21.910 --> 16:24.010
The child wasn't to blame for any of it.

16:24.270 --> 16:26.540
That was my first mistake 
after I'd left home.

16:26.540 --> 16:30.600
It caused me to shut down.

16:30.600 --> 16:32.200
I want to die.

16:34.570 --> 16:36.810
I want to die. I want to die.

16:36.810 --> 16:37.990
I want to die!

16:38.430 --> 16:39.640
Mom?

16:40.190 --> 16:43.650
What'll make you not want to die?

16:45.440 --> 16:47.690
Challenge yourself to everything.

16:47.690 --> 16:49.480
And become the best.

16:50.450 --> 16:54.710
All my lessons? I'll do it.

16:54.710 --> 16:58.040
Will that make you not want to die?

16:58.040 --> 17:02.200
Yes. That will make me happy.

17:03.590 --> 17:07.510
My daughter's life was my life.

17:08.140 --> 17:11.930
My child's going to be starring in a musical.

17:11.930 --> 17:13.780
It's so busy, I can't believe it.

17:13.780 --> 17:15.480
My, that's difficult.

17:15.480 --> 17:16.900
Wow.

17:21.440 --> 17:23.530
Hey, how about a musical?

17:23.800 --> 17:26.200
By having my daughter pick 
up all sorts of things,

17:26.200 --> 17:29.040
I'd convinced myself that 
I was growing alongside her.

17:29.490 --> 17:32.450
That growth came with pain.

17:32.800 --> 17:35.430
The better I raised her to become,

17:35.430 --> 17:38.260
the more she became suited 
to be the 18th generation.

17:38.890 --> 17:43.030
That story, which I didn't even 
believe, brought me grief.

17:44.060 --> 17:46.140
I had to erase it.

17:47.140 --> 17:49.820
So, Mizuha, what about that musical?

17:49.820 --> 17:51.930
Huh? I said I'd do it.

17:51.930 --> 17:54.120
We already filed the application.

17:54.120 --> 17:57.040
Huh? Did we?

17:57.040 --> 18:00.160
That's when my health began to suffer.

18:02.990 --> 18:04.790
Where did this trophy come from?

18:05.050 --> 18:07.440
I became unusually forgetful.

18:08.860 --> 18:11.200
You have stress-induced memory loss.

18:13.340 --> 18:14.500
Mom, look!

18:14.500 --> 18:16.680
I got the top prize!

18:17.120 --> 18:20.000
Looking back now, 
that was the Nokker's doing.

18:20.460 --> 18:23.740
I started keeping a record of 
everything that happened in my life.

18:25.130 --> 18:28.590
I don't want to go to practice today.

18:29.730 --> 18:34.060
My friends say they don't want to talk to me.

18:34.060 --> 18:36.930
They aren't your friends 
if they say things like that.

18:36.930 --> 18:37.780
Ignore them.

18:37.780 --> 18:38.790
Got it?

18:38.790 --> 18:39.820
Okay.

18:43.940 --> 18:46.650
Don't you think we're pushing 
her a little too hard?

18:47.720 --> 18:52.060
We ought to cut down on her lessons 
and give her time to make friends.

18:52.060 --> 18:53.430
Are you accusing me?

18:53.430 --> 18:55.470
No, that's not the point.

18:55.470 --> 18:58.370
Whose fault do you think it 
is that I'm so desperate?!

18:58.370 --> 19:01.050
I'm not raising the 18th generation!

19:01.050 --> 19:02.220
Stay out of it!

19:02.220 --> 19:03.800
She's my daughter, too.

19:03.800 --> 19:05.900
I'm the one looking after her!

19:05.900 --> 19:07.840
I'm raising her properly!

19:07.840 --> 19:09.880
Don't talk like I'm doing something wrong!

19:09.880 --> 19:10.910
It <i>is</i> wrong!

19:10.910 --> 19:14.970
Have you ever raised Mizuha for her own sake?

19:14.970 --> 19:16.080
No—

19:23.980 --> 19:26.900
Goodness! Has the time finally come?

19:26.900 --> 19:30.550
I have awakened, drawn here by Mizuha's soul.

19:30.550 --> 19:32.740
Fushi's awakening nears, too.

19:32.740 --> 19:34.490
<i>Mizuha's voice...</i>

19:32.740 --> 19:37.350
Rest assured, I will guide the 
Guardians into the future.

19:37.350 --> 19:41.800
The Nokkers that admire me have 
already descended to this land.

19:41.800 --> 19:45.250
Together, we will achieve a perfect world.

19:45.970 --> 19:47.460
<i>What a weird dream.</i>

19:52.080 --> 19:53.320
Why...

19:56.310 --> 19:59.110
I'm sorry, did I wake you up?

20:00.180 --> 20:01.480
Izumi.

20:01.480 --> 20:03.200
What?! Why are you here?

20:03.200 --> 20:05.490
What happened to me?

20:05.490 --> 20:07.110
What have you done, Dad?!

20:07.110 --> 20:09.010
What are you doing to us?!

20:07.820 --> 20:10.200
Itsuki-kun, what is Izumi talking about?

20:10.200 --> 20:11.440
I'm sorry, Father!

20:11.440 --> 20:12.520
She's ill!

20:12.520 --> 20:13.910
Why are <i>you</i> here?!

20:14.190 --> 20:18.100
You're the one who said we should come 
here for a break for Mizuha's sake!

20:19.510 --> 20:25.650
As Mizuha grew, my memory 
issues became more severe.

20:26.490 --> 20:28.080
I couldn't allow it to continue.

20:28.080 --> 20:29.750
I had to do something.

20:30.160 --> 20:32.420
One day, in my panic,

20:32.900 --> 20:36.840
I saw the legendary man that I'd 
seen so much of in the order.

20:37.590 --> 20:40.270
The soul of the Guardians, Fushi.

20:41.060 --> 20:43.990
I planned a move, but it was too late.

20:44.370 --> 20:47.040
Mizuha had already developed 
an interest in Fushi.

20:47.530 --> 20:51.220
I had to win back my daughter's 
heart, even if it meant lying.

20:52.260 --> 20:54.100
That ended in failure, too.

20:55.880 --> 20:59.120
I'm a toxic parent, no matter how hard I try.

20:59.120 --> 21:00.550
Do you really think I...

21:00.550 --> 21:04.070
"...could save my child?"

21:04.070 --> 21:07.750
She's fine with letting that Nokker 
walk around pretending to be her?

21:07.750 --> 21:09.070
Why not?

21:09.070 --> 21:11.730
She isn't much different from 
an ordinary human, right?

21:11.730 --> 21:14.450
I can't think of a reason to object.

21:14.450 --> 21:19.170
Son, how similar are 
fully-merged Nokkers to us?

21:19.170 --> 21:21.480
They are similar, but they're 
still just imitations.

21:21.980 --> 21:25.480
Those living out their lives 
as humans to avoid detection

21:25.480 --> 21:29.650
will ultimately die of old age just the same.

21:30.040 --> 21:35.360
A fully-merged is akin to child playing with 
a doll given to them by their parents.

21:35.830 --> 21:37.570
0-4-0-6.

21:37.570 --> 21:39.600
0-4-0-6?

21:39.600 --> 21:41.810
My PC password.

21:41.810 --> 21:45.920
Could you delete the contents of my 
images folder when you get a chance?

21:46.180 --> 21:48.880
That family doesn't need them anymore.

21:48.880 --> 21:54.120
Fushi, Izumi-san says she wants 
us to delete the images on her PC.

21:54.120 --> 21:56.410
PC? Images?

21:56.410 --> 21:58.390
I'm assuming they're records of Mizuha.

21:59.270 --> 22:01.820
I don't get it, but I'll try.

22:01.820 --> 22:04.380
Well, I'll be leaving now.

22:04.380 --> 22:05.430
Izumi-san!

22:05.430 --> 22:08.570
No! Are you leaving for paradise?

22:08.570 --> 22:09.990
No!

22:09.990 --> 22:13.060
Wait! I thought you were here 
because you had things to do.

22:13.060 --> 22:14.200
Are you sure?

22:14.200 --> 22:18.870
If you want to live, I'll kill that impostor.

22:18.870 --> 22:20.030
This time, I will!

22:20.030 --> 22:23.220
If you want it, I'll go underground 
to defeat the Nokkers.

22:23.220 --> 22:25.330
I'll get Mizuha back from the Guardians!

22:26.060 --> 22:29.010
You don't even have it in 
you, Fushi. Don't bother.

22:29.010 --> 22:31.080
I would have begged you if I really wanted it.

22:31.500 --> 22:34.540
"Thanks. I'll think about it."

22:46.000 --> 22:48.220
"Hello, Mizuha."

22:48.910 --> 22:49.940
Mom.

22:49.940 --> 22:52.230
That's fantastic, Mizuha.

22:52.230 --> 22:53.490
Dad!

22:55.650 --> 22:58.400
My Nokker!

24:30.000 --> 24:55.030
Preview

24:31.910 --> 24:37.920
<i>Is there any way to fight 
back against the Nokkers?</i>

24:38.630 --> 24:43.530
<i>Fushi is proposed an 
interesting idea by Yuki.</i>

24:44.890 --> 24:51.190
<i>Fushi makes a preemptive strike 
against the Nokkers' next plot.</i>

24:52.030 --> 24:55.030
Flying Bug
