Rindo!
What's the NPSO want with us?
We need to take a look inside. We have a warrant.
Yeah?!
And who the hell made you the boss of me?!
Any moment now.
You two stick to the plan.
Go!
It's begun!
I'll be right back.
We'll take care of things here, Mr. Azami!
We'll get Nadeshiko back no matter what!
Now, I think...
it's time we pitched in!
Huh? What the...?
Give her back.
Give back...
Nadeshiko,
my autumn!

Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring
Don't forget!
Our objective is to recapture the Agent of Autumn!
We know she's imprisoned somewhere in this building!
Find her, whatever it takes!
The NPSO and Mr. Azami will search the building.
Going by what Lady Kayo said, our enemy, Kasai,
is under Misuzu Henderson's absolute control.
Since she made a point to kidnap Nadeshiko and probably plans to use her,
we don't have to worry about them killing her.
In fact, losing Nadeshiko would be a serious problem for them.
So...
A signal from Lady Ruri!
That means...!
Mr. Azami!
We'll pin down the insurgents inside!
Go to them!
Piece of cake.
Let's get out of here already.
You didn't run away. Whatever's in there must be important.
This little guy says that suitcase smells like Nadeshiko.
Put it down slowly and show us what's inside.
Ruri!
It figures there would be more of them.
Your lady commands you!
Protect Lady Nadeshiko!
I'll be fine!
Protect Autumn!
I hear and obey!
Move it!
I know!
It's up to you now, Ayame.
Now, then...
Ugh...
I've really had it with insurgents.
Everybody,
take over for Ayame, okay?
Protect me.
Next!
Sway, sway, sway,
Next!
flowers swaying
Next! Next!
Next!
Next! Next! Next!
They just keep coming.
They'll wear these little guys out if any more show up!
In meadows bright,
In summer wild
Are you hurt?!
Sorry I'm late!
I'll take care of the rest!
Rindo!
Please, save Lady Nadeshiko!
Ayame!
Ruri!
Mr. Azami!
He's the one!
Follow that big guy!
Lady Nadeshiko's in that suitcase!
If we let him get away, it's over!
But then the insurgents here will—
We'll be fine!
Please go!
I'm sorry!
Ayame!
Now we just have to keep these guys tied down.
Ruri! Get back! It's not safe!
I'm gonna fight, too!
I'll be your Guard.
But then, you'll have to...
I don't mind, Ruri.
It's what I want to do.
Everybody, protect Ayame.
It'll be fine.
As long as me and Ayame work together,
we can win this.
Shit!
Nade... shiko...
Nadeshiko...
I'll kill him.
I don't care if it makes me a murderer.
I won't let that stop me.
My autumn.
My Nadeshiko!
Nadeshiko.
Nadeshiko!
Oh. I blew it.
I thought I could help you, Ayame,
but I guess not.
Sorry,
Ayame...
Ruri?
What do you think you're—
No... No way.
Ruri...
It's payback time.
Ruri!
Ayame.
Ow!
Ayame.
It hurts.
It hurts!
Ayame.
It hurts.
Ayame. Ayame. Ayame. Ayame.
It hurts.
Ayame. Ayame. Ayame. Ayame.
This isn't funny.
Stop it.
Ayame.
Come on.
Tell me it's not true.
Ayame.
Ruri...
The moment an Agent dies,
Ayame. Ayame. Ayame. Ayame.
Oh, gods...
from among the clans of the four seasons,
Gods!
the gods choose a replacement.
Nadeshiko...
Nadeshiko! Please!
Wake up!
Call my name again in that voice of yours!
Rindo...
Rindo.
Nadeshiko!
It's me! Do you recognize me?!
Yup.
You're my prince and my knight, Rindo Azami.
You're so very dashing.
Sway, sway, sway,
flowers swaying
In meadows bright,
in summer wild
God of Summer, what a fool you are.
Fall back!
Love, love, love,
Was it because we're twins?
love fell dead
Oh, it just makes me sick.
I've soaked up Ruri's song.
Like Tora's rain,
Because I've always been at her side.
like summer fireworks,
I've always been...
Like caged fireflies
Slice, slice, slice,
Slice them open, and yet
dragonflies hatch
Wait for autumn
Ruri,
your big sister's gone and become the Agent of Summer.
How can they be just as happy with either one of us?
If either one of us would do,
I should have been the one to die.
Ruri,
let's give the gods a piece of our mind together.
What...
What do you think you're doing?!
Mr. Azami...
Lady Ayame Hazakura.
Lady Iwaizuki...
Ruri... Ruri is...
I couldn't protect her from...
My sister is...
Rindo.
She's still warm.
Will you give it a try?
Yes.
There's a leyline here,
so if I take a little from the mountain, and from the people who aren't hurt...
I won't take time off their lives or anything.
Lady Ayame, you know that I have the power of Life Decomposition.
Don't worry, Lady Ayame.
Everything will be fine.
Please, Nadeshiko.
Save Lady Ruri.
Both life and death are my domain.
I won't let you down.
It will be fine.
Don't worry, Lady Ayame.
As long as I have Rindo with me,
I can do anything.
Shining stars, twinkling stars, shooting stars
Ayame.
Sorry. I'm always making trouble for you.
I wish I'd been a better sister.
But now,
Blaze away up high, in the autumn sky.
maybe your life will get easier.
Ayame,
Through the starry night soars Tatsutahime.
I'm sorry.
Sorry...
Now merrily, now leisurely, join in the song and dance.
...ri...
Whirl in the colorless wind
Ruri...
Ruri...!
Ayame?
and it may blow you to the autumn moon
Ruri...!
Ruri!
You're alive. You're alive!
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
No, I should thank you.
I'm so glad I made it.
I'm so glad you saved me.
Great job, Nadeshiko.
You really were amazing!
Thank you, too, Rindo.
N-No problem.
Are you crying?
Hang on. I'll pat you and make it better.
I... I'm fine.
Then,
I'll pat Lady Ayame.
Lady Ayame, have your pats.
L-Lady Iwaizuki...
N-Now she's crying more!
Yes. Yes.
Send air ambulances for Lady Ruri and Lady Ayame, too.
I appreciate it.
You know, Rindo,
I dreamed about you while they had me locked away.
About me?
Remember how you made me a bouquet of ginkgo leaves?
Yeah...
It made me so happy.
I was thinking about that time, and about you, and that's why
I could keep going, even though I was scared.
I'll do it every year. As many times as you want.
Okay.
Nadeshiko, I'm sorry I couldn't keep you safe.
You're hurt all over, and your dear little face...
I'm so sorry. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
I'll serve you till I die.
I swear I'll make it up to you, Nadeshiko.
H-Hey, Rindo,
is it me, or do you seem... different?
I love this Rindo, too.
This is the real Rindo, right?
Rindo, you're all bloody.
Are you hurt?
No.
Sorry. My hands are filthy.
They are not filthy.
I promise I'll like any version of you, no matter what.
To me, every version of you
is a charming prince.
I've always, always thought so.
I'll never stop
loving you, Rindo!
I'd do anything for you.
I'll give you all I have.
For my princess, I'll become a prince

Sakura.
Sakura, it's me.
Are you all right?
You're not hurt, are you?
Why?
I hated him... I hated him so much,
but just hearing his voice
makes me feel so...
Hang on a little longer. We're on our way.
Don't cry. I can't bear to hear you cry.
I'm not crying!
Yeah, right.
That's the first thing you've said to me in ages.
Shut up.
Sakura, are you still holding a grudge against me?
I'm sure there's a lot you want to say to me.
I'll listen to all of it. You can even hit me if you want.
That's one more reason why I want to see you alive.
You probably don't believe me,
but I'm on your side.
That's never changed.
Ms. Himedaka!
So, don't cry.
The enemy's coming! Watch out!
Wait for me.
Hurry up.
Itecho Kangetsu
Hurry up,
Itecho!
Let's move, Itecho.
They're waiting for us.
Lady Hinagiku,
are you all right?
Hinagiku is... fine.
She has... you with her.
I appreciate your help.
