Episode 36: The Way to Use Strength

Meru: Aria's running late. How can it take so long to hand over a criminal?

Charl: Didn't she say she needed to write a report? There are a lot of forms to fill in, so it might take a while.

Lingyin: But it seems to me that in order to deal with the police, you have to hand a criminal over to a school. It's a different world over here.

Houki: I understand that the inquiry is held in a department called the Dagger....I wonder what their lessons are usually like?

Shirayuki: For me, I find IS Academy more strange, with students flying around in IS.

Hibiki: Hahaha. I go to a normal music school, so I think they're both amazing!

Aria: Sorry to keep you waiting everyone.

Hibiki: How was it?

Aria: I think I can shorten my mother's sentence! I've still got a long way to go, but it's one step forward!

Siesta: That's great Aria! Let's have a feast this evening!

Rika: That's a relief! Aria's love for her mother is very strong.

Aria: Hey, hey! Don't pat me on the head!

Cecillia: It's a funny sight, isn't it? Even though she's a high school student she's the one being coddled.

Satoko: Usually it's the other way around.

Usada: In other words, even a small schoolgirl can reach her head.

Aria: You're so annoying! I'll shoot you....

Rena: Aww! She looks so happy!

Aria: Oh, no, no, no! Don't cling to me! Stop! Don't grin at me!

Houki: Well well, what do you expect Rena to do when you're crying like that. Good for you Aria

Aria: Th-thanks..!

Jeanne: Let me congratulate you too, Aria H Kanzaki.

Aria: Thank you for.......What!? Why are you here!?

Jeanne: Fufufu....!

Usada: You've escaped!?

Meru: We need to catch her again!

Shirayuki: Rika! Stay behind me!

Rika: You don't have to be nervous, it's all right.

Jeanne: It is as Rika Furude says. I have already admitted defeat. I'm not going to fight you anymore.

Aria: Even if you made a plea deal, You can't be released from prison immediately, can you?

Jeanne: Under normal circumstances, yes. But the information I have and its usefulness made negotiation a simple matter.

Shirayuki: Information? What kind of information?

Aria: Tell us what you know!

Jeanne: All right, wait a minute. Now I'll explain it to you in plain English.

Cecillia: You've started to draw something. Is it an illustration?

Jeanne: Good, It's done. You will soon understand what we mean by this picture.

Aria: Uh....what is this?

Lingyin: It looks like it was drawn by an elementary school student....

Satoko: No way! Elementary school students are better than that!

Charl: Maybe it's cubism.

Cecillia: Maybe she's not a descendant of Jeanne d'Arc, but Picasso?

Aria: So, what's the drawing of!?

Jeanne: Can't you tell?

Laura: Hmm. One of them looks like an IS. .....Isn't this the enemy called Kei?

Aria: You can see it clearly in this picture. So, the other one is........Mii?

Jeanne: Yes, I used these two pieces of information to make a deal. Lee Woo and these people had been working together, but they was becoming suspicious.

Aria: I don't know if the top management of Lee Woo will keep quiet if you sell information about them without permission.

Jeanne: As you know, they are trying to erase the world.

Jeanne: Lee Woo is divided on this issue, and their position isn't set.

Jeanne: I personally have always felt that I didn't fit in with their way of doing things.

Jeanne: Above all, I don't want to partner with someone who is not prepared to fight a duel.

Usada:Yeah, I don't like them either!

Jeanne: And since I was defeated by you, they will give up on me and try to get rid of me. I'll be like Chris Yukine, who is no longer needed.

Hibiki: !!

Jeanne: So I gave them a level of information that would allow me to get released immediately and work with you, that was the details of my deal.

Shirayuki: You're coming with us?

Aria: What is your intention?

Jeanne: I thought I could learn more from Shirayuki Hotogi and RIka Furude than I could from Mii and Kei.

Houki: Do you think that's acceptable!? It's unreasonable to expect me to trust someone who planned to kidnap Rika by impersonating me!

Rika: I welcome Jeanne.

Houki: What!?

Shirayuki: If Rika is fine with it, then I am too.

Lingyin: Are you sure you're ok with this?

Rika: Yeah. If Jeanne is really sorry, I'll forgive her.

Jeanne: Whatever the circumstances, we both remember that we were enemies. But I ask you to include me as one of those who will fight with you.

Usada: I'm fine with it. It's not like I don't know you, we've always been a bit similar.

Laura: I agree with you. As long as you don't touch my wife, it's all right.

J: (What could be wrong with more beautiful women? Isn't that right, Claude?)

Claude: Yes, yes.....

Charl: I think we can get a lot of information from her because she knows Mii and Kei.

Jeanne: I have nothing to hide. You can ask me anything you want.

Hibiki: Ah, um! I have a quick question!

Hibiki: Please tell us where Chris is! She's my friend!

Jeanne: I don't know where she is. As long as she has a bad relationship with Mii, maybe she's hiding somewhere?

Hibiki: I see.

Aria: Cheer up. We'll see her again soon.

Houki: She was a stubborn girl. I'm sure she'll turn up again, complaining loudly.

Hibiki: Yeah....you're right!

Jeanne: Is there anything else you would like to ask?

Meru: Who are those weird guys?

Jeanne: I don't know where Mii and Kei come from or what they are up to.

Lingyin: Didn't she say she was the king of the world or something?

Jeanne: In fact, they may have the power to do so.

Jeanne: They can give others the power to move freely between worlds, that alone should tell you something about their level of competence compared to mine and yours.

Satoko: Even though you can use magic, you don't understand it?

Jeanne: That's what I was sent by Lee Woo to find out.

Aria: Whenever we manage to get on their tails they just cut them off like lizards

Jeanne: One thing is certain, Mii doesn't think about efficiency or rationality at all.

Aria: You, the strategist, were being forced to do this. Was it at Mii's instruction?

Jeanne: That's right. Kei on the otherhand, is like a machine and tries to do things according to her calculations. That's why she interfered in the duel.

Siesta: So they care more about results than anything else.

Jeanne: However, Kei seems to follow Mii's lead. I think Mii is superior in terms of power.

Charl: Do they have any other friends?

Jeanne: I don't know. I've never been instructed by anyone other than those two.

Jeanne: Riko, Dr.Shinigami, and Yase Douji all seem to be working with Mii and Kei as individuals.

Hibiki: Like Chirs and Usada.

Jeanne: And then, although their intentions are unclear, Mii and Kei have a strong interest in mysterious powers, they want to get their hands on them.

Shirayuki: Is that why you wanted to take me and Rika?

Jeanne: In this respect, Mii's and Kei's objectives seem to be aligned.

Rika:........

Aria: Can you tell us where their hideout is?

Jeanne: No. They don't need that kind of thing. They don't seem to care where they are.

Jeanne: .....That's all I know. I didn't spend that much time with them either.

Aria: I understand. If you've told us all this, I guess we'll have to trust you.

Jeanne: ....Fufu, You've changed, Kanzaki H. Aria. It seems that your personality, which I have been studying for your disguise, must undergo some alterations.

Aria: What? I don't know what you're talking about!

Aria: (chuckle)

Hibiki: Huh?

Aria: A-anyway! We'll trust you, but if you do anything weird, I'll blow a hole in you!

Jeanne: Of course, I know that.

Shirayuki: Oh, the phone? Yes, this is Shirayuki...

Shirayuki: What!? Yes, I understand! I'll check it right away!

Houki: What's wrong?

Shirayuki: It's from the Information Department of Butei High! Five high-speed flying objects are approaching the school! We think they could be IS!

Lingyin: There are IS in this world!?

Laura: They must be the black ones we fought in Hinamizawa!

Cecillia: If they run wild it will be a disaster!

Houki: Let's go! We'll lead them away from any populated areas!

Charl: That's all well and good, but Houki will you be fine with the Akatsubaki? In a five-on-five battle, poor fuel economy is a big problem, isn't it?

Houki: It doesn't matter! Let's just win before we run out of energy!

Hibiki: What are those black people, Houki? If they were human, I wonder if we can talk to eachother....

Houki: What are you saying at a time like this? Someone that looks the exact same as you, has your face, and abilities can't be human!

Houki: They must be a fake made by the enemy or something! I wont shown any mercy!

Hibiki: But!

Houki: We'll talk about this later! Now we have to stop the approaching enemy! We're going to intercept!

Houki: Let's go! Akatsubaki!

[Houki leaves]

Lingyin: Oh, just a minute! Wait up! We're coming too!

[The rest of the IS operators leave]

Aria: That's what the IS are all about - speed. We're following them! Shirayuki, Send a tracking request to the Information Department!

Shirayuki: Right!

Hibiki:........

Hibiki: I'm sorry, everyone! I'm going to follow Houki and the others ahead of you!

Siesta: Huh, you're going after them?

[Hibiki dons her Symphogear]

Hibiki: I'm off!!

[Hibiki leaves]

Satoko: That was a great jump!

Rena: She's so fast. Aria, let's go too!

Aria: I'll go get a car from my department. Shirayuki, can you take over for me?

Shirayuki: Leave it to me!

[Battle map]

Episode 36 The way to use strength

Charl: All right, we can fight here!

Laura: We did a good job of luring them away from the city.

Lingyin: Even so, it's not a great feeling to fight someone that looks exactly like you.

Cecillia: They also have the same abilities as us, which makes things difficult.

Charl: We have to be careful.

Laura: It seems they're waiting to see what happens.

Houki:.......Anyway we've got to beat them! Let's do it!

Victory: Destroy 2 or more enemy IS Defeat: Any ally is defeated.

[Defeat an enemy IS]

Laura: They aren't breaking formation. Is that enough for them to be able to communicate.

Cecillia: Their movements are not mechanical. It seems to have its own intelligence.

Charl: I thought there would be a few more gaps, but this is not going to be easy.

Houki: They're only fakes, it doesn't matter! I'll cut them down!

Lingyin: Don't rush! When you're evenly matched, the slightest mistake can cost you your life!

Houki: (I know, I know, but the Akatsubaki can't handle drawn out fights. Not yet!)

Houki: Mm! So she's the same as me! If so!

Charl: No! It's a trap!

Louise: Leave the fighting to us, Akatsubaki get back!

Houki: No, now is the time! The Akatsubaki can do this!

[Houki rushes her doppleganger]

Dark Houki:........

Houki: Let's go!!

[Houki attacks her doppleganger, but is then surrounded by all the fake IS]

Houki: What!?

Darl Houki: Heh.

[All the fake IS attack Houki causing Akatsubaki to power down]

Houki: Oh no, my shield energy!

Charl: This is bad!

Cecillia: Houki!!

Lingyin: What the hell are you doing?!

[More enemy IS appear]

Lingyin: Oh no!? These guys!!

Laura: This is what they were aiming for!

Charl: Houki! Run!

Dark Houki: Disappear!

Houki: Ugh!?

???: Houki!

[Hibiki appears and takes the hit for Houki]

Hibiki: Guhh! I made it!

Houki: Hibiki!!

Dark Houki: Don't let them escape!

Hibiki: Watch out, Houki!!

[Hibiki takes hits from every IS doppleganger for Houki]

Houki: Huh!? Hibiki!!

Dark Houki: You're next!

Houki: !!

???: I won't let you!!

[Aria and Jeanne appear]

Aria: Moveeeeeee!!

Jeanne: Clear a path!

[Aria and Jeanne destroy the enemy Uchigane IS]

Aria: Rin! Go!

Lingyin: Yeah!

Laura: Charl!

Charl: Leave it to me! Ignition boost!!

Cecillia: I'll support you! Blue tears!!

Laura: Take this!!

[Rin and Charl grab Hibiki and Houki and leave]

Lingyin: I've got Hibiki! I'm retreating!

Charl: I've secured Akatsubaki! Please support us!

Dark Houki: Tch.

Aria: Where are you looking!? Fire! Fire! Fire!

Jeanne: The tables have turned!

[Deploy]

Dark Houki: You've arrived earlier than expected.

Aria: How dare you do that to Hibiki! We won't let you get away with it!!

Jeanne: Don't get too worked up.

Aria: Yeah, No way!

Laura: Everyone, don't fight alone! The IS are fast and will soon surround you!

Cecillia: The enemy is used to fighting! Even if you have a numerical advantage, don't underestimate them!!

Dark Houki: Hm. there we go.

[Enemies appear]

Aria: It's one after the other!!

Jeanne: Calm down, and let the enemy IS use up their energy. They don't want to be attacked too slowly.

Aria: You're right.......I guess that's why you're a strategist. You are very good at doing things that the enemy hates.

Jeanne: That's a harsh way to phrase it, but that is how it is.

Aria: Anyway, I'm going to beat them!

[Defeat another enemy IS]

Dark Houki: It's time to go.

[The enemy IS leave]

Aria: They escaped! The bastards!

Jeanne: They are not so stupid as to be wiped out. More importantly.....

Laura: We need to return to Butei High immediately. Hibiki need medical treatment.....Hurry!

Houki:........

[Stage end]

Laura: Siesta, how's Hibik?

Siesta: She still hasn't regained consciousness.....Shirayuki is staying with her to heal her. Plus, Claude is also helping with his healing.

Aria: Yeah, he's useful at times like this.

Meru: Is Hibiki all right?

Laura: With no barriers, she was subjected to a barrage of IS attacks. It's a wonder she's still alive.

Meru: Laura, how can you be so calm?

Laura: I'm worried, but I can't do anything about it.

Laura: And I believe in that. I believe in the strength of Hibiki Tachibana, more than anyone else.

Meru: That's right. As Hibiki's friend, I believe that she will get better!

Laura: I thought my heart was going to stop when she did it, though. (sigh), What a reckless wife......

Charl: It's like a serious case of recklessness.

Aria: We should leave it to them. If we go see her now, we'll only be causing them trouble.

[Meanwhile with Houki]

Houki:.........

Houki: (It was my fault, my fault that Hibiki...! Hibiki, she was worried about me)

Houki: (And yet I overestimated the power of the Akatsubaki.....I lost sight of myself because I wanted to avoid a prolonged battle since Akatsubaki isn't good at that.....)

Houki: (What do you mean, "control your power"! I was so obsessed with defeating the enemy that I was swayed by power! I haven't changed at all!)

Houki: (What was the point......I've been training all this time! For what!?)

Lingyin: Ah, ah, You're easy to understand.

Lingyin: It's my fault that Hibiki got hurt, and now I'm all upset right? Don't you dare!

Houki: I wont...use IS...anymore...

Lingyin: Stop acting like a spoilt brat! If we don't fight, who's going to fight that black IS!?

Laura: Rin is right.

Laura: If you have the time to sit around in a place like this, why don't you go help take care of Hibiki?

Laura: Well, I wouldn't let you anywhere near my wife as you are now.

Houki:........

Laura: I will not allow Hibiki to see such a bleak face.

Laura: My wife....Hibiki, likes you a lot. You are second closest person to her after me.

Laura: If you wish to see her, avenge yourself and go to her.

Laura: Let her see you at your best, having done the best you can do. That's the least you can do.

Houki:........

Houki:....I understand.

Houki: That's right. I can't let Hibiki see me in such a shameful state!

Houki: I will avenge her!! I won't make the same mistake again! Laura, Rin, help me! Please!

Lingyin: Of course. It would have been easier if you could just be honest.

Laura: Hm, leave it to me.

Cecillia: Just a moment! You weren't planning to leave me out of this were you?

Charl: If we all do our part, I'm sure we will win!

Houki: Cecillia, Charl! Thank you!

Houki: (Hibiki....Wait for me.)
