Twenty-five years ago,

massive creatures emerged into the world without warning.

Simply by moving, they caused enormous damage.

The Dragons are nothing if not huge.

Defying all common sense, these monsters vanished as quickly as they appeared.

Since then, people with the same powers as the Dragons have come to be born.

And three years ago...

This place is like a dream.

Those who possess the same powers as the Dragons...

are called Type Dragons, or D.

Why is there a man here?

Well, I...

Kerykeion!

I can fight too, you know.

I can handle one intruder.

Wait! Calm down!

From afar I summon thee, Seigin.

Hey, now!

She's pretty.

H-Hang on!

Let go, molester! Pervert!

I'm neither a molester nor a pervert!

You're not fooling me.

There aren't supposed to be any men on Midgar.

I was brought here.

I got stuffed into a NIFL container.

NIFL?

A soldier?

Yeah, my name's Mononobe Yuu.

Mononobe Yuu...

I'm sixteen years old.

That's the same as me!

So... why is there a soldier here?

Put that on first.

R-Right...

What's your name?

Iris.

Iris Freya.

Sorry about that.

It was to stop you from attacking me, but...

Seriously.

I-I thought you were going to do something perverted.

I wouldn't!

Why were you naked, anyway?!

Hm?

A-Anyway, put your own clothes on and give me back my shirt.

What? But I already put it on!

No way.

You're going to sniff it and lick it.

I'm not!

Mononobe, molester!

Mononobe, pervert!

Molester! Pervert!

Iris-san,

could you please not use a person's last name to call them a molester or pervert?

Oh, right, your last name's also Mononobe, Mitsuki-chan.

It's been three years...

Brother.

Join the school?

Yes.

I thought Midgar was only for girls.

Here. It's your uniform.

I'll fill you in on the details later.

We can't have you dressed so indecently forever.

So it's you.

The first male student since the academy was founded.

Mononobe Yuu.

Yeah... Yes.

My name is Shinomiya Haruka.

I'm in charge of the Brynhildr class, and I teach.

My rank is colonel. I'm in command here at Midgar.

Forgive my rudeness, Colonel.

Please don't call me Colonel at school.

I heard you were exemplary at NIFL.

Let's confirm how knowledgeable you are.

Do you know why this Midgar exists?

I'm told that it was initially a quarantine zone for Ds captured by NIFL.

However, because Ds are now recognized internationally as having human rights,

it broke away from NIFL

and joined Asgard to become an autonomous educational facility.

And what are its current activities?

To promote the use of the Ds' powers for the good of society.

It educates its students on the conversion of dark matter into rare resources,

as well as on becoming the ultimate weapons in the fight against the Dragons.

I'd grade that at about forty percent.

Midgar's most important role is something else...

although it's not known to the public.

There's no doubt they'll target this place someday.

There's no doubt.

I didn't think I'd be transferred to the academy.

I thought I'd be on coast guard service or something.

The Midgardsormr are adequate for guard service.

Besides, Brother, you meet the requirements for attending this academy.

Because I'm a D?

Yes.

A school-wide assembly is about to begin.

I'm going to introduce you to everyone there.

Introduce me?

You are?

Twenty-five years ago,
massive creatures emerged into the world without warning.
Simply by moving, they caused enormous damage.
The Dragons are nothing if not huge.
Defying all common sense, these monsters vanished as quickly as they appeared.
Since then, people with the same powers as the Dragons have come to be born.
And three years ago...
This place is like a dream.

Yes.
A school-wide assembly is about to begin.
I'm going to introduce you to everyone there.
Introduce me?
You are?
Yes. I'm the student body president.
Wow.
A male D?
Really?
He's a D first and a man second.
He's one of our few comrades.
To accept him as one of our own without discriminating against him for his sex
is proof that we are highly socially-aware members of humanity and proud Ds.
He is my brother,
therefore I will punish him all the more severely for any problem he may cause.
So please, do not worry. Carry on with your school activities as usual.
To say nothing of my own worries, huh?
Please give my brother a warm welcome.
My name is Mononobe Yuu.
I'm inexperienced, but I look forward to working with you.
You can't be inexperienced.
I told you, what happened this morning was a mistake.
But I'll be careful.
You'll be in the same class as me.
There's a special curriculum for fighting the Dragons.
Work hard.
Yeah.
It's difficult, in a lot of ways.
Here's his formal introduction.
His name is Mononobe Yuu.
Nice to meet you.
Sensei.
Lisa Highwalker.
I don't approve.
We can't have a man in Midgar.
Isn't this an abuse of authority?
No, it was decided through formal procedures and evaluations.
That's correct.
The Dragon Crest on his left hand is unassailable evidence that he's a D.
Then can we have you show us your actual D powers?
I agree.
It's a good opportunity.
I'd like to see, too.
All right.
Dark matter is a versatile factor that can be converted into any material or phenomenon in the world.
Being able to create it is evidence that I'm a D.
AT Nergal.
Mononobe, is that a gun?
Yeah.
It can fire live bullets.
I get that you can produce dark matter.
But why did you waste it on that?
Waste?
This isn't NIFL.
Your enemies aren't human.
Lisa, list all of the Dragons confirmed to date.
Yes.
The first one that appeared 25 years ago was the Black Vritra.
The White Leviathan, the Red Basilisk, the Blue Hecatoncheir,
the Yellow Hraesvelgr, the Green Yggdrasil, and the Purple Kraken, which was defeated two years ago. Seven in all.
Then what is the Dragon we are currently planning to defeat?
Iris Freya.
Y-Yes, ma'am!
The Red Basilisk.
The Basilisk wears diamond scales.
What do you hope to accomplish with that gun?
I'm sorry.
Mitsuki-san, your brother really isn't much, is he?
But I think my brother has shown that he's a D.
Th-That's right. I'm surprised a man can be a D too.
Right, Mononobe?
Iris-san.
Do you know him?
I had no idea.
Mononobe was one of us...
It doesn't bother me.
Me either.
I'm not bothered by what happened this morning.
What happened this morning?
Well...
I was seen naked, pushed down, and nearly had my clothes taken away.
No, that's...
Brother...
He's scum.
That was... That was...
That was a lifetime's worth of exhaustion.
Mononobe, what's wrong?
Whose fault do you think...
Hm?
No, nothing.
Anyway, why did they make an exercise room underground?
To avoid material contamination.
We could make poison gas if we tried, after all.
We'd do something that dangerous?
It's just a precaution.
We might mess up a matter conversion and make some by accident.
Mess up a matter conversion, huh?
Wh-What?
Nah, just thinking you'd probably be the most at risk,
having seen the explosion this morning.
Th-That's not true.
I'm going to get it right today.
You mean you've never succeeded before?
All right, here we go.
O-Okay...
Ow, ow.
You're so stiff.
No, you're just pushing too hard.
I'll go slower this time, then.
I-I can't go any further.
That's enough.
We're beginning the drill.
Huh?
This is your first time, Brother, so watch from the other room.
Sure.
For the sake of the newcomer,
we're going to mix in some review.
What's the most versatile matter exchange?
Lisa Highwalker?
Air.
She's flying.
Exchanging to air generates wind.
If you can control it, you can fly.
Basics.
Now then, commence the Basilisk combat drill.
So much matter conversion.
It's diamond.
Watch carefully, Mononobe Yuu.
I'll show you the difference between us.
Gungnir.
What's the spear for?
It's difficult to get a clear image when you go straight to a dark matter conversion,
and that can lead to unexpected conversions.
You converted dark matter directly into a gun,
but that's normally considered improper.
That spear isn't materialized yet?
Its form has been changed, so its surface is slightly materialized.
But 99% of it is still dark matter.
Pierce!
Flare!
The diamond...
Swords slash, spears pierce, bows are shot.
Matter converted while picturing a weapon in use
automatically becomes the force of the attack.
Next, Firill Crest.
Come, Necronomicon.
Aero Blast Quartet!
It's a cannonball made of air that's been compressed to the extreme.
Have you noticed something, Mononobe Yuu?
The girls aren't picturing actual bullets in any of their matter conversions.
All they picture is magic.
Magic?
Women have impressive imaginations.
Next, Ren Miyazawa.
Mjölnir.
Wind!
Ariella Lu.
Aegis.
Deploy barrier!
Mononobe Mitsuki.
Brionac.
First Arrow: Folk Wind!
This is how the girls prepare for battle with the Dragons...
and for their own self-defense.
Hm?
Do you know why the Dragons appeared all over the world at once?
No.
They're pairs.
Pairs?
Each Dragon is searching for its matching D.
The Ds have Dragon Crests, yes?
Yes.
Those who have attracted a Dragon change color.
And if the D comes in contact with that Dragon,
they will be transformed into the same kind of Dragon.
That's impossible.
A D becomes a Dragon?
This is a fact that was confirmed during a battle with the Purple Kraken.
We took down two Krakens two years ago.
Does she mean they killed a comrade who had become a Dragon?
Since then, Midgar's role has undergone a fundamental change.
It became a fortress for protecting attracting Ds,
and for intercepting Dragons deprived of their mates.
I'm going to get it right today.
Kerykeion!
Come, come, distant fragment.
Come, come, distant fragment.
Seigin! Emerge!
Wind!
Thanks, Lisa-chan.
Sheesh.
You're helpless.
She failed again.
One more time, please.
At least she tries.
Yeah.
One more time, please.
Hey.
I'm going to get it right tomorrow for sure.
You're going to fail again.
You don't have to be so blunt.
You're supposed to cheer me up at a time like this.
I could give you baseless hope through empty encouragement,
but you'd just make the same mistake again.
You won't live long if you don't own up to your failures.
O-Own up to my failures...
You probably thought you could do it through sheer effort, right?
How could you tell?
Anyone could tell.
I guess.
Just trying hard isn't enough.
Why are you working so hard?
Because I...
I used to live on the outside, like normal, until a year ago.
But while I was on a boat with my parents, a White Leviathan passed by, and the boat sank.
A Dragon disaster.
Yeah.
They all died in that Dragon disaster.
That's when my powers first awoke, and I survived.
So you're here to get revenge on the Dragons?
No.
I don't have any complicated feelings, like hatred, in me.
But I just feel like I need to fight.
I think that's why I survived.
I see.
S-Sorry... You don't like that sort of thing, right?
Y-Yeah.
By the way, why were you naked earlier?
M-My swimsuit got swept away by the waves.
You really are clumsy, Iris.
You're so mean.
Why do you care about me, Mononobe?
Hm?
The people in class are nice to me too,
but you're the first one who's been this nice,
so I want to know how you feel.
That's probably because you're like Mitsuki when she was younger.
I'm nothing like Mitsuki-chan.
She used to resemble you in some ways.
She still is, but she used to be a striver, like you.
I think that's why I can't just leave you.
I see.
That's a bit disappointing.
Hm?
But it doesn't matter.
I just have to try hard going forward.
Mononobe.
What?
I want to get to know you better.
S-So if it's okay with you...
Emergency alert. Emergency alert.
Alert Level C.
Type White.
Repeat.
Alert Level C.
Type White.
Is Level C bad?
Iris?
It's nothing.
Level C happens sometimes.
My Dragon Crest feels hot.
Am I attracting the Leviathan?
If they get past the final line of defense, I'm going to end up a Dragon.
Then everyone's going to...
No way.
I really don't want that.
I'm not going to become a Dragon?
Really?
Can I believe you?
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
White Leviathan.
Mononobe, will you stay with me?

I want to get to know you better.
S-So if it's okay with you...
Emergency alert. Emergency alert.
Alert Level C.
Type White.
Repeat.
Alert Level C.
Type White.
Twenty-five years ago,
massive creatures emerged into the world without warning.
Simply by moving, the Dragons caused enormous damage.
Defying all common sense, these monsters vanished as quickly as they appeared.
Since then, people with the same powers as the Dragons have come to be born.
They are called Type Dragons, or Ds.
A Type White is heading toward Midgar!
Estimated time of arrival?
Displaying now.
Hey, there. It's been a while, Second Lieutenant Mononobe.
Major Loki?
I intended to contact you a bit sooner.
But as it turns out, Midgar's firewall is as secure as its physical defenses.
I wasn't really waiting for you to contact me.
I apologize for the rough method we used to send you to the island.
NIFL was in a hurry.
Is this about the White Leviathan?
You're quick on the uptake. That's great.
Have you heard that a D can transform into a Dragon?
Yes.
A terrifying story indeed.
It makes me shudder to think that the number of those monsters might increase.
We must prevent that from happening at all costs.
I know.
Now, it should be obvious how we can deal with this more efficiently than by killing the Dragons.
We get rid of the D whose Dragon Crest has changed color.
The world is afraid of hurting Ds, and Ds won't abandon their brethren.
Therefore, I need someone to work behind the scenes.
And you're telling me to do that?
I'm not telling you to do it.
I'm asking you to.
If worst comes to worst, you can just kill that D.
Please don't make it sound like it's easy to do.
It is easy.
D or not, as long as the enemy is a human being, you won't lose.
You're NIFL's strongest Fafnir, after all.
If you don't cooperate, we'll be forced to use more inefficient methods.
Think about it carefully.
Last night, at 7:41 PM, an Alert Level C event occurred.
The White Leviathan that's heading toward Midgar
is a Dragon that supposedly circles the Pacific Ocean in a fixed route.
But this time, it has gone off course and entered the danger zone.
These deviations are not new. There was even a case of a cruise ship sinking.
The Dragon disaster that involved Iris?
However, this time it's heading straight to Midgar.
It's expected to arrive in approximately 33 hours.
We've confirmed that its behavior is the same as the Purple Kraken of two years ago.
So the student whose Dragon Crest is changing should report it immediately.
Iris?
Even if the Leviathan is after you and manages to break in, we'll fight without hesitation.
We will never abandon you!
She couldn't have...
Where's Iris?
She's not here yet.
She wasn't looking so good this morning.
Maybe she's in the infirmary.
You.
You seem to really care about Iris-san.
I'm just worried.
That's so like you.
I-I'm not really...
Mitsuki, I can't find Iris.
Do you know something?
No.
I'll look for her.
Please explain to the teacher.
Brother...
Iris?
Iris!
Mononobe.
Why?
I should be asking you that.
I needed some time to relax.
Can you show me your Dragon Crest?
Mononobe, you pervert.
Iris...
I know.
I'm sorry.
It's getting stronger.
I thought about jumping from here, but I was scared.
I'm not a strong girl.
They will never abandon you.
They'll fight at risk to their lives.
I'm scared.
Don't you believe in them?
But when the final defense line is breached, and there's nothing else we can do...
I won't be able to kill myself.
I'm sure I'll turn into a Dragon.
Then I'll hurt everyone, and I don't want that!
I definitely don't want that to happen.
Iris...
It's okay.
You won't turn into a Dragon. I'm sure of it.
If worst comes to worst, I'll kill you.
You will?
Yeah.
So you can rest easy and let Mitsuki and the others protect you.
I won't give up till the very end.
Can I really trust you?
Just leave it to me.
To tell you the truth, I'm the world's strongest assassin,
or at least I was supposed to become that.
What do you mean?
Emergency alert. Emergency alert.
Confirmed that a person's Dragon Crest has changed color. Raising the alert...
How is Iris?
Earlier, she was undergoing medical scans and questioning.
Even though being chosen by a Dragon must be terrifying,
she's remaining calm and cooperative.
What should I do?
You won't be part of the interception forces this time.
Perfect.
Would you let me handle something?
I'll protect Iris from something else besides the Dragon.
Can you please explain?
NIFL?
They might try to pull a fast one.
So if I guard Iris, I'm sure NIFL won't make a move.
Hold on, please.
If it comes down to it, you'll kill Iris-san?
Yeah, but I'll decide when exactly that is.
If that time comes—
Please stop!
I don't want to hear you talking like that.
Mitsuki?
You have my permission to guard her.
However, in the event that her transformation becomes inevitable,
I'll kill her myself.
No, you can't!
Brother...
Just let me handle everything!
It's okay.
My hands are no longer...
Mitsuki?
I see.
So you'll accept the job. That's great.
I'm really lucky to have such an excellent subordinate.
Oh, you're not my subordinate anymore.
That's the story, so please don't interfere.
I understand.
I won't get in your way.
I trust you, Second Lieutenant Mononobe.
You're the last person who should use the word "trust."
So it's true that you'll be monitoring Iris-san.
Not monitoring; guarding.
Are you here because you're worried about Iris?
Of course. She's my classmate, after all.
I knew it. You actually do care about your friends.
Wh-When did I ever say that I didn't?
We've been separated from our parents, so we treat our classmates as family.
As family, huh?
Let's just get this straight. I haven't accepted you.
I don't think of you as family yet.
Well anyway, you should rest and prepare for battle.
I can't do that.
This will be the first actual combat in two years.
Actual combat?
You know about the battle against the Kraken two years ago?
Of course.
I was fighting in the front lines.
Shinomiya-sensei talked about the two Krakens that were destroyed back then.
Was it...
It was Mitsuki-san who did it.
I knew there was no other choice,
but my feelings are a different matter.
I can't forgive Mitsuki-san for killing my family.
Family?
Her name was Shinomiya Miyako, Brynhildr class, seat number four.
Shinomiya-sensei's younger sister.
Hey.
Mononobe!
This is the bath,
and over here, you can see what's happening on the island.
Before that, please change your clothes.
It's a little embarrassing, but I'm fine if it's you.
I don't mind.
Well, I do!
Come on, Mononobe. Sit down.
Sit there?
One... two...
H-Hey!
Please.
There will be another Dragon Crest examination soon.
You're not scared of touching me?
No.
When you touched me while we were on the roof, it felt warm, and I was able to relax.
So please...
Iris...
Mitsuki...
Did you see that just now?
It wasn't on purpose!
Do guys really like to see panties?
Huh?
Of course not—
So they do like it.
Say, um, would you like to see my panties?
If that would make you happy, I don't mind.
I feel like I should thank you.
H-Hey...
Wait a second.
You don't need to do that!
You don't want to see mine?
It's not about who the panties belong to.
You shouldn't do that willy-nilly.
It's not willy-nilly.
Then all the more so.
You should value yourself more highly.
I just want to thank you.
Mononobe...
you won't guard me?
I'll just stay here.
Then you should get in first.
Why should I go first?
If I let you in after me, you'll lick the bathtub or drink the bathwater.
I won't!
I'm bushed.
She wouldn't...
I want to thank you after all, so I'll wash your back...
Don't come in if you're just going to scream!
Y-You won't guard me?
I'll be sleeping in the next room.
I don't want to be alone.
This could be my last day.
Why me?
If you don't want to be alone, you can ask Lisa or Mitsuki.
Because you were nice to me.
Because you treated me the kindest.
Isn't that sufficient?
I'm not exactly kind or anything.
No, you're very kind!
Thank you, Mononobe.
Just think about living instead of dying.
But you said you'd kill me.
Yeah.
In the ten-thousand-to-one worst case, I'll kill you before you turn into a Dragon.
But you should also think about the more likely outcomes.
The more likely outcomes?
If it's a ten-thousand-to-one chance, there are still 9999 possible futures ahead.
Futures where I won't have to kill you.
That's just wordplay.
You think so?
I really think worst won't come to worst.
Besides, your classmates are all doing their best.
Let's have faith in them.
It's mysterious, somehow.
If you say something, I can't help but agree with you.
Then go to sleep already,
so you'll be ready for tomorrow and the days to come.
Okay.
Good night, Mononobe.
Good night.
Yuu-kun!
Yuu-kun!
Wait for me!
You're slow, Mitsuki!
Amazing!
I know, right?
The buildings look so small.
Where's my house?
Around there.
There it is!
Where's your house?
Over there. Where the shopping district is.
I don't see it.
You're hopeless, Mitsuki.
I'm not!
I was able to keep up with you today!
I guess.
Good girl.
I finally caught up with you.
We'll be together from now on!
It's hot.
Besides, we can't be together forever.
We can.
If we get married, we'll be together until we get old!
My mom said kids can't get married.
I know. So until we become adults, we'll just be engaged.
Engaged?
Here's your engagement kiss, Yuu-kun.
The price is your memory.
It's here, Mononobe.
The first defense line has been breached!
It's heading straight here!
You amorous Dragon...
You sure have guts to challenge us.
White Leviathan...
The first defense line has been breached.
Can we escape from the White Leviathan and its anti-gravity ability?
If we can't, please hand over Iris-san.
We can't let what happened two years ago happen again.
Hand her over before she turns into a Dragon.
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Roaring Fafnir.
Please don't stop me, Brother.

Hold on, please.
If it comes down to it, you'll kill Iris-san?
However, in the event that her transformation becomes inevitable,
I'll kill her myself.
No, you can't!
It's okay.
My hands are no longer...
Leviathan is approaching weapons' range.
Not yet. Let it come closer.
Fire!
Anti-gravity...
It generated a repulsive force field and bent space itself.
It possesses the power of repulsion, the ability to deflect practically anything.
I'm counting on you, ladies.
Understood, Shinomiya-sensei.
An easy matter.
We won't give it a chance to deflect.
Simultaneous attacks from all directions.
All hands, fire!
Pierce... Flare!
Aero Blast Quartet!
Mjölnir!
First Arrow: Folk Wind!
No.
It's furious.
Everyone, get away!
Deploy barrier!
Restore the monitor! Hurry!
Retreat! Pull back the defensive line!
Assessing the situation.
At a time like this?
Mitsuki...
I only called for you.
I thought it would be dangerous to leave Iris alone.
Iris, cover your ears until we're done talking.
It would be best if you didn't listen.
NIFL has infiltrated here, right?
It's only a matter of time before they makes their way through Midgar Zolom.
So you'll just leave Iris to die?
I know that this is not the best decision.
But I can't let what happened two years ago happen again.
You mean your younger sister?
I see you found out.
And so you let NIFL step in.
It's better than letting those girls shoulder the burden.
Could you please tell me their infiltration route?
Just leave the rest to me.
Iris entrusted her life to me.
I won't yield it to anyone.
That's absurd. What can you do on your own?
If my opponents are human beings, I can do anything.
Let's go, Iris.
Where to?
Mononobe Yuu. You are...
Requesting contract.
Is NIFL coming to kill me?
I used to be in the special forces directly controlled by the minister. They're probably on their way here.
I'll drive them all away.
Can I stay with you?
That would be the safest option.
As long as you're with me, you won't die.
There are six of them.
Iris, you stay here.
Okay.
AT Nergal.
Are you going to kill them?
I'll just knock them out.
But your opponents are carrying real guns, aren't they?
It's okay. Just let me take care of this.
Mononobe...
It's all right now, Iris.
Mononobe!
I heard gunshots, and I was so scared!
I was afraid you might get shot!
I told you I'd take care of it.
Yeah.
When you say something, things turn out fine, right?
You monster!
No!
Iris! That was...
I'm not sure. I wasn't really thinking...
When I thought you were going to die, I...
I...
Look here.
You should be worrying about yourself right now.
Leviathan is after you.
I know.
Let's go back to the shelter quickly.
No. Going there is pointless.
No matter how much we try to hide underground, if it gets close, it can break through easily.
We'll only be buying time.
There's a better way.
If it gets through the last line of defense, we'll attack it.
Just the two of us?
That's impossible!
It's not.
From what I've observed so far, the most effective move against Leviathan is...
There's no effective move against it!
Mitsuki-chan!
The enemy is approaching the third line of defense.
There's no hope now.
Brother, please hand over Iris-san.
Mitsuki...
This is something I have to do!
My hands are no longer...
Is it about Shinomiya Miyako?
She was your classmate.
I can't even begin to imagine how you felt when you had to kill a friend who'd turned into a dragon.
But still, you can't just kill Iris—
I won't let you kill Iris-san!
My hands became tainted two years ago!
I won't let you kill her either.
Mononobe... Mitsuki-chan...
Don't fight! This isn't the time for—
No. This is the time.
Words won't stop this stubborn sister of mine.
This is the only way to make my bullheaded brother listen.
I can see your panties.
The one who touches the other's head first wins.
That's our rule when we have a fight.
If you violate it, it's over between us.
You remember, right?
Yes.
Mitsuki-chan...
Arguing about who's going to kill Iris is pointless.
How about we give it all we have until our last breath instead?
Until our last breath?
What are you guys doing here?
I-I'm sorry, Lisa-chan.
You don't have to apologize.
Your life's at stake in this battle. You have the right to choose what you think is best.
But still, Mononobe Yuu...
The most effective move against Leviathan is Iris's attack.
My attack?
No matter what Iris tries to materialize, it only explodes.
That's why.
From what I've seen, Iris's spatial perception is by no means poor.
She should be able to cause damage by materializing explosive material very close to the enemy's body.
But I... don't know if I can actually do that.
You did it earlier, didn't you?
But still...
It's here!
Leviathan is approaching the third line of defense!
It's calling me.
It's crying that it wants me!
It's not too late.
Hurry up and take Iris-san to the underground shelter!
What do you want to do?
Will you just let it wreak havoc?
I...
I...
Kerykeion!
Can you aim at it from here?
It's far, but I'll try!
I'll hit it with as many as I can!
Come, come, distant fragment.
Stay away!
I despise you!
Seigin... Burst!
Iris-san just did that?
Mitsuki!
Resume the attack!
All hands, get into position!
Seigin... Burst!
Burst!
Burst!
Now!
Aim at the opening in the force field!
Pierce... Flare!
It's working.
Aero Blast Quartet!
Mjölnir!
First Arrow: Folk Wind!
Seigin! Burst!
The third line of defense has been breached!
Is it going to happen again?
Seigin... Burst!
I won't give up.
I won't yield to a monster that took everyone precious to me!
I won't just stand here and let myself get taken away too!
Stay away!
You're not giving up, Mitsuki?
Our house is over there.
That town is a place where we can be a family!
I wanted power.
Confirming request.
Releasing portion of the Akashic records.
Analyzing. Interests match.
Who's there?
Proposition.
I am Gaia's oldest dragon, Tohue.
Acht calls me by the name Kiskanu...
or Yggdrasil.
Yggdrasil?
Could it be... the green dragon?
Are you the real one?
There's no way a dragon can talk to a human!
Confirming once more.
Requesting examination of the contract.
What will you offer?
What do I need to give for payment?!
I will offer you power.
What I seek is annihilation.
The price is your memory.
Stay away!
Please don't stop me.
No matter what happens, I will always be your brother.
Can you lend me your power?
You're not going to kill me yet?
Just leave the rest to me.
I want power!
I accept that contract!
Union acknowledged.
Let's continue the contract, Yggdrasil!
Reunion acknowledged.
What I seek is annihilation of all the other dragons.
I need more power than last time!
I will offer you power.
The price is your memory.
Severing the union.
Marduk gun: Babel!
Fire!
Final Arrow:
Last Quark!
We won.
Did we do it?
Everything's back to normal, Mononobe!
Mononobe!
A job well done, Second Lieutenant Mononobe.
I was right to trust you.
I didn't expect you to perform this well.
See you. I appreciate your continued cooperation,
my Fafnir.
It's curfew time soon.
Besides, are you all right?
I'll be back right away.
As you can see, I'm just fine.
Sorry for making you worry.
I'm a bad brother.
Iris.
Mononobe. Are you okay now?
I just fainted. That's all.
So what did you want from me?
I wasn't able to finish what I wanted to say to you last time.
I thought I'd tell you now.
Last time?
Can I be your friend?
We're already friends.
No way!
When exactly did we become friends?
I don't really know.
I'd say we've been friends for a while now.
You always give me what I want, Mononobe.
So I...
So... let me show my gratitude.
Thank you, Mononobe.
Hurray! We defeated Leviathan!
And I got to be friends with Mononobe.
I'm really happy.
That's why I gave Mononobe my first...
A new friend?
Mononobe's wife?
Take a bath together?
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Tear the Dragon Girl.
It's always Tear-chan! No fair, Mononobe!

You are...
What...
am I?
You are a dragon.
Mitsuki!
B-Brother...
A-Are you okay?
Please get out!
You've been acting strange lately, Brother.
Me?
You come into my room without knocking first.
You approach me even though I'm naked.
You're being inconsiderate.
I was worried about you.
It's not really a big deal, is it?
We're siblings, after all.
You're right, but still...
I'm acting strange?
Good morning, Mononobe Yuu.
This is the first time you've greeted me, Lisa.
I-I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I might as well.
You're lying. You went there deliberately.
While I'm at it, let me tell you something.
I appreciate your efforts in the Leviathan case very much.
Therefore, I'm promoting you to apprentice classmate.
Apprentice?
If you thought you could become part of the family easily, you're greatly mistaken.
But do keep trying.
Iris!
What are you doing?
Class is about to start.
M-Mononobe, did you see?
Did you?
Did you see anything?
I-I'm not an exhibitionist.
I'm wearing some, okay?
Wearing what?
Did you...
D-Don't get the wrong idea.
I don't do this every day.
I just happened to forget today!
You're always such a—
I'm not a klutz!
Fine! I'll go back to the dorm and put some on!
And so, the first and second period lessons have been changed,
and we'll have a special physical examination.
Um, what about me?
You will be examined separately, of course.
Headmaster?
Come in.
You're the headmaster.
You have good eyes.
I'm Charlotte B. Lord, in charge of Midgar.
This is Mica Stuart.
She's my personal secretary.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
I'm Mononobe Yuu.
You're going to perform the physical examination personally?
We don't want to show a man's body to those innocent girls and risk making them excited.
Especially not when your feat in the last battle has already made you an overnight sensation.
Listen up!
The girls in Midgar, including the staff, are all part of my harem.
Therefore, I don't have much choice other than to examine you myself.
I hear what you're saying, but you're a woman too.
Don't lump me in with those inexperienced girls.
In the first place, I have no interest in men.
So this is a man's Dragon Crest.
It's the first time I've seen one.
Headmaster?
Silence.
The examination is over.
Today's physical examination is just an excuse to check the students' Dragon Crests.
Check the Dragon Crests?
A dragon that we've been trying to subdue for years,
the Red Basilisk, has begun to move out of its den in the Sahara.
That means one of the students is—
The physical examination allowed us to check them.
The results should be in shortly.
That aside...
Do you want to embark on an adventure?
They're in the middle of the examination right now.
Those innocent girls will be in their underwear.
It won't hurt to take a peek.
You are the headmaster, right?
Don't you have any interest in women?
I do, just like anyone else.
I like you!
I've long been looking for a companion.
Let's make haste! To watch innocent girls in their underwear...
That's enough, Charlotte-sama.
Let me go, Mica.
My companion and I must go—
You're free to go.
You'll regret doing this to me!
O-Okay.
I messed up.
As everyone here knows, the examination conducted the other day
showed no changes in anyone's Dragon Crest.
Accordingly, NIFL searched the towns that are in the Basilisk's path and found two Ds.
They are now under the protection of the academy.
This is Tachikawa Honokawa-san.
Please show her the ropes.
Nice to meet you.
Next is Tear Lightning-san.
She's the one that the Basilisk is after.
That little girl?
I wonder if it has something to do with those horns.
She looks familiar.
The change in her Dragon Crest and her horns are not related in any way.
The results of the test confirmed that they're extra features created by dark matter.
Tear-san is just like the rest of us, a human being.
You're wrong.
I'm not a human being.
That's not true.
Tear-san is a human being.
No!
I'm a dragon!
No, you're not.
You're a—
Dragon!
I'm a dragon!
Get down!
Are you okay, Mitsuki?
Brother.
I get to meet you again!
You're the one from that time.
Know what?
I was born to be a dragon bride.
So you're my husband!
Who would've thought you knew each other?
The Mafia took that girl's family hostage and forced her to make gems.
And in a military operation, I...
Why didn't you place her under protection?
When I rescued her, she was quite scared, and she really wanted to see her parents.
So on my own personal judgment, I...
I understand the situation.
She will be admitted to the Brynhildr class.
Hold on, please.
Tear-san's age suggests that she should be receiving primary education.
I don't think she can keep up with our lessons.
The other students are afraid of her now,
and above all, she strongly refuses to be separated from him.
He will be entrusted with teaching her the basic lessons and Midgar's rules.
But my brother is still new here.
Your job is to help him.
Think of this as part of the mission to defeat the Basilisk.
If that girl causes a huge problem here, NIFL won't sit still.
Just like in Iris's case.
Yuu!
Are you done with your meeting?
Yeah.
Starting today, you're our classmate.
We'll always be together!
I'm so happy!
Please lower your voice in public places.
Are you being mean again?
I'm saying that it's normal behavior.
Please don't cause too much trouble for my brother.
Brother?
I'm Mononobe Mitsuki, his sister.
Then we should be nice to each other.
My husband's sister is also my sister!
It looks like we're in for a rough time.
Tear-chan, it's all right.
We're here for you.
Hey, where's your seat?
That one right there.
Then I'll sit here too!
Why? Why?
Tear-san.
Your seat is over here.
No. I want to sit here.
Oh, that's right. Could you introduce yourself to everyone?
I don't wanna!
My husband is all I need!
My husband!
We're not really married,
nor are we old enough to get married.
I'm a dragon, so it's okay!
Hey!
Am I cute?
Yeah.
I'm a dragon female, though, and not a human girl.
But you have human parents, right?
I don't.
Forget that. Let's go back home!
It's always Tear-chan. No fair.
I'm also Mononobe's friend.
I-I also want to help Tear-chan with her studies,
and um...
I want to help you too!
We're classmates, after all.
Very well.
Just for today.
Okay! I'll do my best!
Are you sure?
The two of us alone might not be able to handle her.
Besides...
we need her to become familiar with the idea of classmates as soon as possible.
Th-This is Mononobe's room.
This is Yuu and Tear's new home!
Get out.
You shouldn't disturb the newlyweds' first night.
F-First night?
I won't allow that!
No monopolizing him!
You're here to study, right?
S-Sorry, Mitsuki-chan.
You're a bad girl.
Brother, you idiot.
Why me?!
If you don't know something, just ask.
I'm done!
Already?
She got all of it right.
Hurray!
I'm great, right?
Yeah, you are.
Then as a reward, let's take a bath together!
A bath?
Could you go in alone?
I'll be waiting here.
No! I'm going in with you!
I want to be with my husband all the time!
It's not like I'm going anywhere.
No.
If you're not by my side, you'll disappear.
We have no other choice, then.
You'll allow it?
Then me too!
On one condition.
Don't remove your swimsuits.
Can someone get out?
No. I'm sticking with you.
It's always Tear-chan.
So unfair.
I'm not moving either.
I'm here to watch you, after all.
It's cramped in here!
Good job today, Brother.
But why does she keep on insisting that she's a dragon?
They said Tear-san was found in an armed vehicle belonging to a dragon-worshipping organization.
They treated her like a goddess.
They made her think that she was a dragon, and now she believes she is one.
Those people enter countries that have suffered a dragon disaster to recruit new members.
I was ordered to kill the leader on the spot if I found him.
Let's go to bed.
Okay.
Where should I sleep?
You're sleeping on the floor.
Get along with everyone?
That's right.
How about talking with everyone and not just us?
Don't wanna.
There might be bad people among them.
Was Iris a bad person?
Then you should try to trust your classmates, at least.
We're all family.
Although I'm still an apprentice.
Yuu's family?
G-Good morning.
Good morning, Tear-san.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I'm glad you greeted me!
Good morning.
Here.
It's interesting. I want you to read it too.
Thanks.
I've read that too. It is interesting!
Especially the part where the protagonist—
Stop.
Ariella-san, spoilers are not allowed.
Yeah.
I was about to spill the beans!
I won't let you borrow from me anymore.
Naturally.
Yeah.
Oh, come on, Firill!
She's finally taken one step forward.
Yeah.
M-Mononobe.
Can I sit on your lap in Tear-chan's place?
No.
I can't leave an unreliable man like you in charge of Tear-san.
I will teach her personally.
Thanks.
You're calling me unreliable?
But anyway, I leave her in your hands.
First, I'll give you tips on how to create a fictional weapon.
A fictional weapon?
We shape our dark matter in the form of a weapon to facilitate precise and efficient substance conversion.
Please try imagining a great power in your hands.
If you do that, the dark matter will automatically change its form.
Okay, I'll try.
My power... great power...
My... my...
Tear.
You are a dragon.
Dragon.
Dragon.
Dragon.
Dragon.
Dragon.
Dragon.
Dragon.
Dragon.
Dragon.
Dragon.
I'm...
Tear-san.
Oh? A girl who calls herself a dragon?
Interesting.
Don't belittle me. I'm not picky when it comes to girls.
Come closer. Don't be so reserved.
What? Swimsuits?
Excellent!
Having fun in the blue sea and on the white sand...
It's simply irresistible!
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Blazing Muspelheimr.
My friend, let's enjoy a fantastic night together.

A fictional weapon?
We shape our dark matter in the form of a weapon to facilitate precise and efficient substance conversion.
Okay, I'll try.
My power... great power...
My... my...
Tear.
You're a dragon.
Dragon...
Dragon...
Dragon...
Dragon...
Dragon...
Dragon...
Dragon...
I'm a...
Tear-san?
There is no need to grieve.
They are not real.
Who are you?
Now, throw away all that is false
Become the real you.
You're a dragon.
I'm a dragon.
Lisa!
Wh-Where are you touching me?
Sorry!
That dragon is Tear-san, right?
Yeah. Her fictional weapon took the form of a dragon, most likely.
Right now, Tear is completely convinced that she is one.
Then we must bring her back to her senses!
Gungnir!
Pierce! Flare!
I won't let you.
Open your eyes, Tear-san!
Pierce! Flash!
Tear!
Tear?
Tear!
Yuu?
If Tear causes any more damage, she will...
I'll need to talk with her once she wakes up.
I-I'm sorry!
I-It's okay.
I believe you are...
I'm Tachikawa Honoka.
Nice to meet you, Mononobe Yuu-san.
You know about me?
Yes.
You're the only boy here, after all.
I see. Did you get injured or something?
Yes.
I made a mistake in substance conversion during practice and got scratched.
I see. Sorry to bother you.
Um, if it's all right with you, could you help me?
I can't quite reach it.
M-Me?
Thank you.
Please do it gently.
Okay.
B-By the way, you were taken in from a town in the Basilisk's path, right?
What were you doing there?
My mother travels around the world.
I went with her to different places.
Don't you feel lonely after being separated so suddenly?
Not really. We were never very close to begin with.
I don't have a father or other relatives, so I had to stay with her even though I didn't like it much.
I'm actually glad that I get to be independent now.
You're a strong girl.
Thank you so much.
It's no big deal.
But anyway, no one tried to come with you?
I haven't really settled into the school yet, so I don't have any friends.
Oh.
If you have any problems, just ask me.
O-Okay!
I hope I'll see you again, Tachikawa.
Honoka is fine.
Can I call you by your name too?
S-Sure, Honoka.
All right. I'll see you around, Yuu-san.
Hello.
Hello, Second Lieutenant Mononobe.
There's something bothering me.
I thought I'd let you in on it too.
The dragon-worshipping organization has begun their move to retrieve Tear Lightning.
Midgar's defenses are strong.
Infiltration won't be easy.
So there's no doubt that she will make a move.
Who? You mean her?
Yes. The D who opposes NIFL, Kili Surt Muspelheim.
Kili?
I'm sure she'll try something.
When she does, there will be enormous damage.
I'll send you the most recent data later...
just in case.
I'm counting on you, Second Lieutenant Mononobe.
I'll keep that in mind, Major Loki.
Kili?
Yuu!
Yuu!
Tear.
Yuu!
Why was I asleep?
What happened to Lisa and the other girls?
Tear...
I need to have a serious talk with you.
Tear, do you like everyone more than you did yesterday?
I do! Lisa and everyone else turned out to be good people.
That's great.
Yuu?
But earlier, you almost hurt Lisa.
You turned into a dragon, went on a rampage, and destroyed the practice chamber.
No, I didn't...
I know. You didn't do it on purpose.
So you should apologize to everyone and promise me something.
Promise?
You won't think of yourself as a dragon ever again.
But I'm...
You're a cute human girl.
I'm not!
You're wrong. I'm a dragon.
I have this kind of power.
We all have the same power.
But we live as humans.
Humans?
If you choose to live as a dragon, I can't be with you.
I want you to live as a human.
Where are your parents?
They were fakes.
Fakes?
They were nice people, but they burned away.
I met Kili then.
It was terrible!
Everything was in flames!
My home, my parents, everything!
But they were all fakes.
They weren't real, so it's okay.
Okay. I understand.
Thanks for telling me, Tear.
Welcome back, Brother, Tear-san.
We were all worried.
Lisa.
I-I'm sorry!
I caused you a lot of trouble,
so...
I'm sorry!
About what happened earlier?
We don't really mind.
Yeah.
Me either.
I understand.
Now for your punishment.
Ow, ow...
Punishment is necessary for those who want to atone.
There must be a quick resolution before they are crushed by their feelings of guilt.
That hurt.
Now you have atoned for your sins.
Well... you don't need to worry about it anymore.
Lisa...
I didn't mean to hit you hard. Does it still hurt?
Lisa, thank you.
You're like a mother.
Hey, how about we all go out tomorrow and have some fun?
All of us?
Mononobe! Tear-chan!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Iris.
How do I look? I bought a new one!
Oh, that's right. The other one got swept away.
Please don't remind me.
It's embarrassing.
You really look beautiful, Iris.
Wh-What...
If you say that, I...
Sorry.
Yuu, what about me? What about me?
You look cute, Tear.
Just "cute" won't do.
All right! You're my rival, Iris!
We're rivals?
That's right!
I won't lose to you!
The one who knocks down the stick first, loses.
Okay.
I accept this challenge.
I won't lose.
I'll show you my techniques!
I win!
Tear-chan, let's play one more round!
I accept.
I'll definitely show you my techniques this time!
It's useless no matter how many times you try!
I'm disinclined to let you see me in my swimsuit, but here I am.
What's up?
It looks like you put a lot of thought into choosing your swimwear, though.
I-I don't come to the beach too often because I hate putting on sunscreen.
I'm not used to it, so I just wasn't sure about what to wear.
Uh, I think it looks good.
O-Of course.
I know that. You don't have to tell me.
Brother. You're scraping the boundaries of sexual harassment.
I was just giving my thoughts.
You can't comment thoughtlessly on how girls look in their swimsuits.
That does count as sexual harrassment.
So you don't want me to say anything about yours, then?
I don't really feel embarrassed by things you say.
Please go ahead.
I'm just gonna say it, then.
You look really good in that.
Your back is a bit sexy.
You said I should just go ahead!
I win again!
One more round, okay? One more!
You read books here too?
It's fun.
But we're at the beach. Let's have some fun.
Then how about we play beach volleyball?
There will be a penalty if you drop the ball even once, Brother.
Just me?
You're the only man here, so it's a reasonable handicap.
Sounds like fun.
Now then, let's begin!
Not even a bite.
It's the first star of the evening.
It's quite a masterpiece. What do you think?
It's heavy.
That's it. You were great.
Really?
Was I able to swim?
Yes.
I want you to teach me more, Lisa!
Let's not overdo it.
You look like you're really having fun.
Let me join in.
You want to get buried in the sand too?
No!
I want to frolic about with innocent maidens in their swimsuits too!
I could feel a generation gap from the way you said that.
Shut up. I'll stamp on you.
You already are!
Headmaster?
Of course I'm not going to join in without offering something.
I brought a few items.
You're not gonna eat anymore?
I'm already full.
Let's drink to the innocent maidens!
This is the best!
You didn't actually come here just to watch them in swimsuits, did you?
I also wanted to see how that girl is doing.
I think she's fine.
I'm sure she'll choose to live as a human being.
She'll choose to, huh?
Even a real dragon will be a human being if it chooses to live as one.
I believe that one's way of life means a great deal more than the physical reality.
Headmaster?
All right! The party has yet to take off!
I'm gonna have some real fun with the girls!
Sing!
Dance!
Ladies!
We should be leaving.
We still have time!
L-Let me go, Mica!
Help me, my friend!
Well then, please excuse us.
We didn't even get to the "f" in "frolicking"!
Are you even listening?
So this is the latest data on Kili.
Kili Surt Muspelheim. Female.
Height: Approximately 160 cm.
Age: Unidentified.
Nationality: Unknown.
About three years ago, she became the leader of a dragon-worshipping organization.
Believed to be involved in over 300 past terrorist attacks.
Can burn people or things without touching them.
A D that specializes in materializing fire.
This one chose to live as a dragon.
I won't let Tear turn into someone like her!
The Blue Hecatoncheir.
I can't believe you appeared without permission.
What are you trying to pull?
I guess asking a dragon is pointless.
But I'm not handing Tear-san over.
She's a precious member of the family.
What is that?
Who are you, standing in blazing red flames?
Next on Unlimited Fafnir:
Crimson Wing Tiamat.
Mononobe Yuu. It's time to show us what a man can do!

Kili Surt Muspelheim.
Can burn people or things without touching them.
A D that specializes in materializing fire.
This one chose to live as a dragon.
Emergency alert. Emergency alert.
Alert level A. Type Blue.
I repeat.
Alert Level A. Type Blue.
It's the Blue Hecatoncheir!
Brother...
What's it doing here?
That's... a dragon.
No abnormalities in the defense system!
Then how did it get in?
Are you telling me no one noticed?
Well, there's no point in crying over it now.
But it had to be that pesky one, of all things.
Noncombatants are advised to remain calm and take refuge in the dormitory shelter.
No matter what happens, please stay away from the academy.
At the moment, there's only one person with a change in their Dragon Crest.
Which means it's likely that the Hecatoncheir is after Tear Lightning.
Understood, Shinomiya-sensei.
What's going on here?
How did it slip past Midgar's defense system without being noticed and get all the way here?
That doesn't matter.
What matters is that it's right in front of us.
Yuu...
You'll only make Tear-san feel uneasy if you look so worried.
Lisa...
This is your first time seeing a real dragon, isn't it?
But it's all right.
We're here for you.
Okay.
I'm sorry, Tear.
It's okay.
Lisa-san, I'd like you to take charge of Tear-san's safety.
Not Mononobe Yuu?
Brother has a different task,
so I'm asking you.
Tear-san trusts you.
At the end of the day, you're the one who can deal with the situation appopriately.
I understand.
Yuu, are you going?
It's all right. I won't disappear.
I'll come back for sure.
But...
He'll be fine.
He looks anything but a weakling.
Okay.
Firill-san, Ren-san, please stand by on the school rooftop.
Understood.
Mitsuki-chan, what about me?
Join up with us, Iris-san.
Ariella-san, report from the sky on any changes in the situation.
Got it.
Okay. It's on!
Don't just look at it! Get to the shelter, quick!
Okay!
It's not moving at all.
What's wrong with it?
Trying to figure out a dragon's behavior is pointless.
We don't even know why they roam around the world in the first place.
Listen. Don't waste your time trying to take it down.
The Hecatoncheir is immortal.
Even if you manage to damage it, the injured parts just regenerate.
Attacking all at once doesn't work?
In the past, NIFL used fuel-air explosive bombs and was able to destroy its whole body,
but it regenerated completely.
The only thing we can do right now is focus on defense to minimize damage.
There are exceptions though.
I want power!
I accept that contract!
Union acknowledged.
Fire!
You brought me here so I could fight it off like I did three years ago, didn't you?
You're right.
If there's anyone who can drive it off even temporarily, it's you, Brother.
However...
However, that's a last resort.
If you do something like that again, Midgar will suffer enormous damage.
Also...
Is it all right for you to use that power?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
Besides, what's the point if I don't use it now?
We need to protect Tear and the academy.
We should just focus on that.
I understand.
Are you scared?
Don't worry. I'm here with you.
I won't let the dragon have you.
I won't leave you alone.
Can Yuu and the others win?
Trusting her man and waiting for him is a woman's strength.
A woman's strength?
It's part of being a good wife.
Okay.
Who are you?!
I've come for you, Tear.
Kili...
Kili?
Would you hand her over to me?
Why would I do that?
Now, come here.
Gungnir!
Run, Tear-san!
Lisa!
Hurry!
What's this nonsense?
I won't let you have her!
Oh, dear. Whatever will I do?
I'm not bluffing.
What was that just now?
I'm not done yet.
Lisa, this way!
In here.
Lisa.
I'm fine. It's just a scratch.
But...
You're one naughty little girl.
I will graciously give you my gratitude if you hand her over.
Gungnir!
I graciously decline.
No, Lisa!
Run!
Tear-san. Taking care of things when her husband is absent is also a woman's strength.
I don't have all night.
Pierce! Flare!
Tear-san!
Brother?
Did you hear something just now?
I didn't.
Me neither.
The dragon-worshipping organization has initiated its plan to retrieve Tear Lightning.
Huh?
Midgar's defenses are strong.
Infiltration won't be easy.
So there's no doubt that she will make a move.
It can't be!
Brother?
Mononobe?
Lisa! Lisa!
Oh, my. What's wrong?
What happened to that woman's strength of yours?
Lisa!
Lisa!
Lisa!
Lisa!
I guess it's a bit too soon.
Come on. Let's go.
I won't let you...
Lisa!
I promised...
I wouldn't leave you alone.
You're really getting on my nerves.
Mitsuki-chan.
Yes.
Brother!
Don't move!
Let go of Tear, Kili Surt Muspelheim.
It seems there is no need for introductions.
I know you very well too, Mononobe Yuu.
The only male D in the whole world.
The leader of the dragon-worshipping organization.
The calamity-class D.
Please don't look so angry.
I just want to get along with you.
Shooting at me without any warning is just mean.
Flames?
No, that was a high-temperature substance conversion.
When did she do that?
I just want to take her to the Basilisk.
Why must you two get in the way?
You and that other girl.
What have you done to Lisa?!
No way.
It's your fault.
She got hurt because you wouldn't come with me quietly.
It's my fault.
He will be the next victim,
but there's no need to grieve.
They aren't real, after all.
Stop!
Don't do any more than this, Kili!
If live ammunition doesn't work, I'll use a fictional weapon!
Are you going to kill me?
You can stop me if you do.
Kili!
Nitro Bullet!
If she's performing substance conversion, dark matter should be visible.
Stop.
I will become a dragon bride.
There. Very well said.
Now, throw away all that is false.
Become the real you.
What are you?
I'm a dragon.
Stop.
Too bad.
Tear already made her choice.
Right?
I promised you, didn't I?
I promised you that I wouldn't disappear.
We are not fakes.
We're right here, Tear!
Women don't like persistent men, you know.
Come on. Let's go.
Becoming the Basilisk's wife is the happiest choice for everyone, including you.
Happy?
Tear!
Don't worry. I'm here with you.
I won't let the dragon have you.
I won't leave you alone.
No.
I don't wanna go.
I'm happy here.
I'm not going with you!
I'm staying here!
I'm going to be Yuu's bride!
I...
I'm a human girl!
Nonsense.
Then I'll see to it that you can't live as a human anymore.
Stop!
No!
Tear!
That was Leviathan's...
Hand her over.
You can't win against the Basilisk.
I refuse.
We're going to protect Tear, no matter what.
Do you think you can?
Everything will return to dust.
No one will survive.
And you will regret that you didn't hand Tear over to us.
"Us"?
I made the Hecatoncheir wait,
but it looks like it's grown tired of waiting.
Prepare yourself.
The Hecatoncheir isn't as nice as I am.
Mitsuki-chan...
Now, what will you do?
I finally understand.
I'm not a dragon. I'm a human girl.
I want to live like Yuu, Lisa, Mitsuki, Iris, and everyone else!
So I'll fight alongside them!
If we can't defeat the Blue Hecatoncheir, we'll just blow it away!
Go!
Next on Unlimited Fafnir:
Scarlet Innocent.
Yuu.
Once we defeat that dragon, let's get married!

Twenty-five years ago,
massive creatures called dragons emerged into the world without warning.
Why is there a man here?
The first male student since the Academy was founded.
Mononobe Yuu.
It's been three years...
Brother.
Reunion acknowledged.
What I seek is annihilation of all the other dragons.
I'm a dragon!
You're a cute human girl.
Now, throw away all that is false.
Become the real you.
Lisa!
Lisa!
Let go of Tear.
Kili Surt Muspelheim.
I'm not going with you!
I'm staying here!
Besides, I'm going to be Yuu's bride!
I'm a human girl!
Mitsuki-chan...
Now, what will you do?
Kili!
What on earth are you?
I'm a dragon.
So you don't intend to answer?
I'm not avoiding your question or anything.
But if you don't mind,
maybe you can decide for me.
Let's meet again.
Do your best.
Please respond, Shinomiya-sensei!
Headmaster!
Please respond!
Shinomiya-sensei.
Mononobe.
Tear-chan.
Lisa's not responding, either.
Mitsuki.
Can you hear me, Mitsuki?!
Brother.
Mononobe!
Good thing it's slow-moving.
Mitsuki, give us instuctions!
Lend us your anti-Dragon equipment.
We're going to force the Hecatoncheir out of the academy.
How?
Neither heat nor lasers work.
Wind.
Wind?
We'll generate as much wind as we can
and smash it against the Hecatoncheir.
Once we push it out into the water,
we should be able to execute a large-scale attack.
Sounds like it's worth a try.
All right.
Let's do it.
I'll meet up with you once I take Tear to safety.
Tear?
I'm...
I'm going to fight too!
Y-You can't, Tear-chan!
It might be after you.
You have to hide.
No.
I'm not running away again.
I'm going to fight with all of you.
Tear.
What if you go berserk, like you did during training?
It'll be fine.
I'm not a dragon anymore.
All right.
Let's fight together.
Thanks.
Is that all right,
Mitsuki?
I understand.
Mitsuki-chan.
The desire to protect is often a great power.
Isn't that right, Brother?
Yeah.
It appears the Hecatoncheir has found Tear-san.
Let's match our timing and maximize our air conversions.
Aim for the abdomen, where its center of gravity is.
Countdown.
Five, four, three...
Fire!
First Arrow, Folk Wind!
Aero Blast Quartet!
Generate Windstorm!
Take this!
Gale, burst!
It fell over!
It's too heavy.
Move to Formation B!
My power.
My greatest power.
My greatest...
Go!
It's no good.
We have to push it further away.
Noin. Confirming request.
Yggdrasil.
All powers transferred at the time of Fear and Leviathan's defeat.
Activation request: Code Fear.
Activation request: Anti-gravity.
Anti-gravity!
That's a repulsion field!
Now! Once more!
Everyone, prepare to attack!
Fire in fifteen counts.
Fifteen, fourteen...
Lend me your strength.
We're going to blow it away.
Okay.
I'm your wife.
I'm going to work hard with my husband.
Seeking annihilation.
The information you possess on the Marduk is incomplete.
Recommending additional download.
The price is your memory.
I don't need it.
Three years ago,
I fought off the Hecatoncheir
when the Marduk was even more incomplete.
Besides...
I don't want to lose any more...
of my precious memories and feelings!
...two, one!
Fire!
Gale!
Special artillery Megiddo!
Fire!
No signs of regeneration.
We've defeated it!
We did it.
Tear-chan, we won!
Yeah.
Yeah!
We did it, Tear-chan!
We did it!
We did it!
Brother.
Yeah.
I'm fine.
I haven't changed.
Damn, that was seriously rough.
My... My room!
My precious collections!
You won't get away with this, you blue bastard!
You're really getting it if you regenerate again!
I'll grab you like this, then do this, and...
That's why I was against you building your room so high up.
You know what they say about fools and smoke loving high places.
You could learn a little from Shinomiya.
It's safe now, everyone.
Okay.
Lisa.
Tear-san.
Lisa!
Thank goodness!
Lisa...
Thank you.
Sorry.
I want to pat your head...
but I can't.
No. No.
You protected me.
Thank you, Lisa.
Really, though, you made a huge mess.
We fought with the Hecatoncheir and Kili.
We should be glad that it wasn't worse.
And there's still the Basilisk.
We'll have to think about our future plans.
Mononobe Mitsuki, you must be troubled by the loss of your room.
You can stay in the lodging house for the time being.
Yes, Shinomiya-sensei.
The roof and bed are both burned up.
What are you going to do, Mononobe?
I wonder.
If it's okay with you...
H-How about my room?
We can get married if you need a room.
Wait a second.
'Cause you can live in my room once we're married.
Again, why are we getting married all of a sudden?
It's not sudden.
I've always said I'm going to be your wife.
Don't you want to?
It's not about whether I want to or not.
I told you before.
According to human rules, we aren't old enough to get married.
Th-That's right, Tear-chan.
Then let's get engaged for now.
Now we're engaged!
That's not fair, Tear-chan!
I can do that too.
Nope.
We already kissed, so we're engaged.
Just on the cheek, because it's an engagement.
And then when we get married,
I'll kiss him on the lips.
I-I've kissed him already!
You're lying.
Mitsuki.
You'll be in the room next to mine in the common lodging house.
R-Right.
Why are you making so much noise in the classroom?
Keeping your volume down is a basic rule in any school.
Sorry, Mitsuki-chan.
Sorry.
Brother is most at fault.
Why are you so angry?
I'm in the middle of writing a report on what happened.
Please don't talk to me.
So you are angry.
I need to talk to you.
S-Sure.
First, about the Hecatoncheir.
Why did it show up all of a sudden?
It appeared in Midgar moments after vanishing from Siberia,
where we have been containing it.
Does that mean it warped here?
I don't know.
There haven't been any reports of an ability like that until now.
More importantly,
what was that Leviathan-like power
that canceled out gravity for a moment?
Well, I just kinda thought I'd give it a try,
and it worked.
We can't have you "just trying" something like that.
Don't you think you're keeping too many secrets?
Our house is over there.
That town is a place where we can be a family!
I won't give up.
I won't yield to a monster that took everyone precious to me!
I won't let myself get taken away too!
I wanted power.
Seeking annihilation.
The price is your memory.
You insist on keeping your secrets, then.
No, like I said—
Then...
Please answer my next question.
Brother...
is it true that you kissed Iris-san?
Th-That was thanks for when we fought against the Leviathan.
So you really did.
Yes.
I see.
Please be sincere about your action.
Otherwise, I'll deem it an act of indecency.
Right.
Got it.
But...
I have to apologize too.
To you and Iris-san.
Why?
Why?
Because...
I'm sure it was the first time for Iris-san.
B-But your first was...
with me.
I don't remember.
I-It's the same as with Tear-san.
It was something we did as kids.
The kiss, the promise...
Pretend none of it ever happened.
I would appreciate it.
Mitsuki...
Don't say the memories we shared never happened.
Not even as a joke.
You're always kind, aren't you, Brother?
But I can't be so nice to myself.
I'm going to continue fighting the dragons...
to atone for my sins.
I don't need my childhood wishes...
to come true.
Brother...
If you can only forgive yourself by fighting,
then I'll end that battle.
Listen, Mitsuki.
I'll never give up on your happiness.
Seriously.
You're so...
stubborn, Brother.
We did it!
We defeated the Hecatoncheir,
but now the Basilisk is attacking?
We have no choice, then.
Let's go defeat it.
I'm excited about going by boat.
What? Mitsuki and Lisa are fighting?
I don't think I can do anything about that.
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Invasion of the Basilisk.
Mononobe-kun, if it's really bothering you, you should ask Firill.

Mitsuki.
Mitsuki.
Hm?
What are you doing?
You'll get in trouble with my sister for spacing out like that.
Let's be strong, Mitsuki.
To protect Midgar... To protect our home.
It's calling me.
Wait, Miyako!
No!
Don't go!
Bye-bye.
Miyako!
Lisa, how many sugar cubes do you want?
I suppose I'll have one.
Okay.
How about you, Yuu?
No, I'm good.
You drink it black, don't you?
Morning, Iris.
No!
I read in a book that you should have
something sweet before you study.
Really? Here, then.
Hey! I was going to do it!
Now he can study really well today.
Here, my fiancé.
You know you can overburden a person by pampering them too much.
Okay.
Sorry.
You were a great help to me, though.
Thank you, Tear-san.
Sure!
You're a good woman, Lisa.
What's that supposed to mean?
You're not getting away with sexual harassment.
No, I just mean I can respect you.
Of course, you're pretty as well.
Nice.
Mononobe, what about me?
What about me, Yuu?
Calm down, you two.
We have a report from NIFL.
The Basilisk that was moving out from the Saharan Desert
began crossing the ocean last night.
The ocean's frozen?
It's salt.
Salt?
The Basilisk shoots red rays from its eyes.
It's been determined that any target it hits...
is turned into stone, ash, or salt.
And it's headed straight for...
It's after Tear.
One glare, and Midgar is toast.
It'll be much worse than the Hecatoncheir attack.
We'll take a boat to an uninhabited island near here and attract the Basilisk there.
We've determined that the most effective strategy is to destroy the island and the Basilisk along with it.
We're leaving tomorrow, huh?
Are you okay with being on a boat?
I mean, after that Dragon disaster...
Yeah, but I'll be okay.
A lot of fun things happened on our last family vacation too.
It's a very precious memory to me.
I could never hate traveling by boat.
You always exceed my expectations.
I'm not a girl you can measure with common sense.
I want to... know more about you someday, though.
I mean, if you don't want that...
It's okay.
I think I want you to know me, Mononobe.
My pure maidens.
You're leaving me behind?
Nothing could be more lonely.
What a tragedy—
Excuse me! That goes over here!
NIFL is participating in the operation?
They've also come up with a plan to beat the Basilisk.
They're preparing now.
The higher our chances of success, the better.
But is it true, Shinomiya-sensei?
That we have a member from outside the Brynhildr class?
To supplement our forces.
We don't want to push the injured too much.
She scored highest in a selection test.
I'm sure she'll be of help to you.
Honoka...
I'm Tachikawa Honoka.
You just got here, and you scored highest? That's amazing.
No, I still have a lot to learn compared to the rest of you.
I'll work my hardest. I'm honored to join you.
Yeah, glad to have you, Honoka-chan.
You can ask us anything.
Okay.
Wow! I saw a dolphin over there!
Really?
Let's go, Mononobe, Honoka-chan.
What's up with you two?
I feel sick.
So do I.
My head's spinning.
My stomach's churning.
That's what happens when you read or do computer work inside a boat.
Iris and the others are having fun outside.
But I want to read.
I'm almost at the part where they find the culprit.
Give it back.
I'll give it back as soon as you're feeling less seasick.
At this rate, you won't be able to eat,
and then you'll really get sick.
I mean, if you're going to rest, I'll leave you alone.
See you.
So that's the kind of person he is.
That's why I can never forgive you!
Mitsuki... Lisa?
Shh!
I don't need you to forgive me.
What I did doesn't warrant forgiving.
And that's why you're going to take responsibility and shoulder my role in this fight too?
You should mind your own business.
I apologize if I've offended you.
Mitsuki-san, do you still insist
that the guilt for killing Miyako-san, and the need to atone for it, is yours alone?
I won't push the blame for something I've done onto someone else.
I really want to stop them, but...
Your words, if nothing else, are admirable.
It's not something we can interfere with.
But why don't you confront things a little more?
I'm confronting—
You don't even expect me to forgive you.
Don't say things like that so lightly!
We're off to a pretty bad start.
Knowing them,
I'm sure they'll do what they have to do, but...
Two years ago,
Mitsuki killed her best friend, Shinomiya Miyako, who had turned into a Dragon.
And Lisa still...
Hm?
Firill?
Give me back my book.
Your book?
Oh.
Sorry.
I forgot.
Are you feeling better now?
I am.
I ate a lot for dinner too.
See? My belly's full.
Hey!
Wow, so this is enough to make a guy nervous, huh?
A-Are you teasing me?
Now give it back.
I want to know who committed the crime.
I'll tell you, then.
It was—
No!
Don't tell me!
Don't you dare!
I haven't actually read it!
I don't know who did it.
You tricked me.
Mean.
I apologize,
but could you move?
That tickles!
No, stay still.
Why?
I want to write a book myself someday.
For that, I need to know a lot of things.
I'm doing this for research.
Your heart's racing more than before.
W-Well, yeah...
Anyone's heart would race if a cute girl touched them.
Now you're hitting on me.
I'm not hitting on you.
You shouldn't fall for me.
Not unless you're prepared to become a prince.
Huh?
Guys' heart rates go up when cute girls touch them.
But they don't necessarily want to hit on them.
Interesting.
Can we stop now?
I want you to hit on Lisa more.
What?
When have I hit on Lisa?
He's unaware.
Are you done yet?
Yeah. It was pretty interesting.
Could I do some research too, then?
I want to ask about Lisa.
Are you gathering information so you can hit on her?
No, not that.
You've known Lisa for a long time, haven't you?
Yeah.
We're in the same grade.
What do you want to know?
Her measurements?
I'm being serious.
I saw her...
fighting with Mitsuki.
What do you think it'd take for Lisa to forgive Mitsuki?
You want to get them to make up?
I'd like to, if I can.
Maybe I shouldn't be meddling, but...
No, I feel the same way.
What they're doing is unproductive.
Unproductive?
Yeah.
They're making each other suffer for no real reason.
They have a reason, don't they?
It's over Shinomiya Miyako.
No, that's where you're already wrong.
Lisa doesn't resent Mitsuki at all.
She doesn't?
What did you want to talk about?
Oh, I want you to tell me about the three years since you came to Midgar.
But so much has happened, I can't...
Then tell me about the girl who was your best friend.
To be honest, I don't really want to talk about it.
I see.
But...
If you'll do a favor for me, maybe I can try.
Can I hug you?
Brother.
This is really relaxing.
I think I can do it now.
Miyako came to Midgar...
on the day of a strong typhoon.
Are you all right?
Don't mind me. Take care of the others.
They're all exhausted from severe seasickness.
But you'll catch a cold.
Thanks. I'm Shinomiya Miyako.
I was overwhelmed.
She was pretty on the outside too,
but more than that,
she gave off a beautiful aura from within.
She was dazzling.
Haruka-san's sister?
My sister's that famous?
The whole school admires her!
She's perfect in every way.
I aspire to be like her.
She'd be happy to hear that.
Miyako and I hit it off right away.
We became roommates.
Kusanagi.
She excelled at both academics and control over dark matter.
I felt envious of her.
But she would wash away those feelings by just...
I guess you could say... well...
She was really kind to me.
Miyako was always attached to me,
and I loved her too.
But in a way, perhaps that was her one flaw.
She gave me such high priority that she made errors in her judgment.
Like that time.
Emergency alert! Emergency alert!
Alert level A.
Type Purple.
Repeat.
Alert level A.
Type Purple.
Purple Kraken.
It's here.
The Kraken uses antimatter.
No defense would have any effect.
Then what do we do?
It's calling me.
Miyako-san, what are you talking about?
Your Dragon Crest...
Why?
Miyako!
Where are we?
Run.
I'm the one it's after,
but don't worry.
I'll protect you, Mitsuki.
What are you talking about?
Miyako!
No!
Don't go!
Bye-bye.
Miyako!
Two of them?
Miyako...
That's her?
Miyako...
Miyako.
It'll be all right, Mitsuki.
I'm with you.
Draw your bow,
and aim.
You can do it, Mitsuki.
Was that...
...antimatter?
I did that?
Fire, Mononobe Mitsuki!
You should be able to destroy the other one with that attack.
But that's Miyako!
You're the only one who can do it.
This is an order.
It's not by your will.
It's my will.
I'll take full responsibility.
Now, fire.
Fire!
Mitsuki!
If you don't, I'll...
I love you, Mitsuki.
Miyako!
Thank you.
Hey,
have you ever asked Lisa to forgive you?
I never have.
What I did was...
Why don't you consider how Lisa feels too?
It's tiring being angry...
or bitter over something for so long.
Why don't you give Lisa an opportunity to forgive you?
Lisa-san cared about Miyako too.
She has the right to be angry at me.
Don't you want her to forgive you?
That's not it!
Then go ask her tomorrow what it will take for her to forgive you.
This is an order, as your brother.
What the heck?
You really don't want to?
I will.
I don't want you to think I'm running away.
That's my poor loser of a sister.
Jeez.
Say what you will.
Mononobe Yuu!
You said something to Mitsuki-san, didn't you?
Um...
I knew it!
Otherwise, there's no way she would've asked what it would take for me to forgive her.
I just told her to consider how you feel too.
You don't really resent Mitsuki, do you?
It was Firill-san, wasn't it?
She's meddling too?
If it will lessen Mitsuki-san's guilt,
I'll continue to be her punishment.
You really are a good woman.
Still, it's been two years.
I think that's long enough.
But—
Mitsuki's already decided how to confront her guilt.
So I want you to think about how you'll forgive her.
She'll meet any condition you ask.
You're very partial toward your sister, aren't you?
Fine, then. I'll think of an impossibly difficult condition.
It'll be your fault if she can't handle it.
Maybe I went too far.
That's the volcanic island.
That felt awful,
but we made it to the volcanic island.
There's a lot we need to do here.
Is this the island map?
Huh, there's a hot spring.
Oh, first, I have to do that.
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Front Line in Distant Waters.
Mononobe-kun, this moment is yours.
Look forward to it.

Major General Dylan.
Major Loki.
I hear that the Mistilteinn is complete.
It was a great sacrifice.
The number of lives that were lost...
in order to retrieve data on how to defeat it...
But now,
we can mark their names in history.
This Mistilteinn...
will defeat the Basilisk.
There's so much smoke.
It's higher than I thought.
Tear?
So we're finally fighting the Basilisk,
aren't we?
Don't be so nervous.
We're still quite far from the Basilisk.
The battle will probably begin in three days.
Three days...
Tachikawa Honoka.
Yes?
Honoka?
It's so cute.
Did you make these, Honoka?
Yes, I received data about this volcanic island from Shinomiya-sensei.
Elevation: 1,560 meters.
Still a very active volcano, I see.
I want to go to this caramel lake.
Caldera lake.
There are hot springs too.
I've never been to a hot spring before.
Okay, let's all go, then.
The eggs they make at hot springs are delicious.
Okay.
Hot spring eggs...
I see. Hot springs, huh?
You're all back to your usual selves.
Right now, I want you to get plenty of rest and prepare for the battle.
Right!
Honoka.
Hm?
Thanks.
It's nothing.
I like making this sort of thing.
You know, Tear...
She has a lot of painful memories,
yet she's smiling happily.
Thanks.
It's nothing.
All right, let's go!
I want to go to the hot springs, but...
Mononobe-kun.
What did you need?
I wanted to thank you.
Thank me?
About Lisa and Mitsuki.
You said something to them, right?
Oh, yeah, but nothing's resolved yet.
But they're making progress now.
So...
To thank you.
A one-day hot spring ticket?
Effective today only?
Yeah.
You want to go, don't you, Mononobe-kun?
Sure I do.
But I'm the only guy.
It might cause trouble if I ran into anyone.
That's why it's a one-day ticket.
Is the whole place reserved for me?
Yeah.
The hot spring is all yours today.
Have fun.
Thanks.
I really have to thank Firill.
I'm first!
Come on, everyone!
We're coming.
Are you okay, Lisa?
Yes, it's almost healed.
I'll be all better by the time we start the mission.
It's said that hot springs are good for healing wounds too, so...
You don't have to tell me that. I know.
I said I'm fine alone.
Are you sure?
I'm not okay!
If they catch me, a repentance essay won't cover it!
Listen, a slow decision will lead to death.
I can believe you now!
I'm second!
Ariela-san, that's bad manners.
Come on, don't be such a stiff.
There's no one else here.
Yes, there is! Right here!
It's so big here! Let's swim!
Third.
I'm a grown-up,
so I'm going to get in properly.
I'm going to insist I'm still a child and jump in.
It's a little hot.
It has to be, or it wouldn't set the mood.
E-Excuse me.
No, no, you have to take that off.
B-But...
I didn't want to at first, either,
but it's fun once you get used to it.
What do they call it? A completely open relationship?
Yes.
W-Well, then...
See? It's fine.
Yes.
Actually, my glasses are so foggy that I really can't see anything,
so I don't feel too embarrassed.
I wanted Yuu to come as well.
If Mononobe-kun were here, we'd all be together, huh?
We are all here!
And damn it, Firill!
Wow, you have big ones, Lisa-chan!
They're floating in the water.
S-Stop touching them!
They're kind of different from mine.
They're more soft and marshmallowy than bouncy.
I-If you don't stop that...
I'll retaliate!
Take this!
What is it, Tear-chan?
I'll let this go for today,
but I'm never going to lose to you!
It's a competition?
Let's see who can hold her breath longer, then!
I won't lose!
Iris-san, I'm not done retaliating yet!
Mitsuki-chan, help!
Are you having fun, Mononobe-kun?
Yeah, it looks like you guys are.
Wait, Firill?!
Nice delayed reaction.
Wasn't it supposed to be reserved for me today?
Yeah.
It's the time I prepared for you.
Do Iris and the others know I'm here?
No.
They don't know.
I hid your clothes in the changing room under mine, so don't worry.
Now you can look at naked girls in total secrecy.
Are you happy?
Wh-Why would I be?
Then I need to do something to make you happy.
What should I do?
W-Wait!
Did you hear Mononobe's voice?
Brother's?
Shoot!
A summons?
Was it...
Was it really that unwelcome?
No, well...
I mean, it spooked me, but...
If I had to say one way or the other, it was fun.
I'm glad.
Yes.
I see.
Understood.
Everyone,
the operation that NIFL has been planning independently...
is being carried out tomorrow.
NIFL's?
Long time no see, Colonel Shinomiya.
Yes, Major General Dylan.
Your work defeating the Kraken and Leviathan,
and warding off the Hechatoncheir, was impressive indeed.
Thank you.
But we want you to let us handle this one.
We have a weapon that can defeat the Basilisk.
A weapon that can defeat the Basilisk?
As you know, the Basilisk uses the red beam from its eyes...
to turn its targets into rock, mist, and salt.
NIFL has conducted further research...
and has determined that the red beam phenomenon is, in fact, weathering.
What's weathering?
You know how even steel and concrete will rust or break down...
if they're exposed to rain, wind, or sunlight for a long time?
Weathering is a passage of time.
In other words, the Basilisk's attack blows away time.
Blows away time?
Having analyzed petrified material,
we've observed the passage of several tens of thousands of years.
Tens of thousands?!
Just one second of exposure amounts to roughly two thousand years of lost time.
You wouldn't even have time to become a grandma if you got hit!
For living organisms,
it's the most dreadful weapon imaginable.
We've decided to call this a "Catastrophe."
Catastrophe.
Major General Dylan,
what is this weapon that you say can oppose it?
Time affects everything without exception.
But there are some materials that are resistant to aging.
Resistant materials?
The strongest alloy on earth: mithril.
Mithril...
We've constructed a bomb with a protective shell of mithril hardened to critical mass.
With it, we can defeat the Basilisk.
No, we must defeat the Basilisk.
Especially for our comrades who were lost for the sake of collecting this data.
Ren, what's wrong?
Ren's afraid of adult men.
Oh, but she's fine with you, Mononobe-kun.
She even said you're like an older brother.
Your subordinates are rather easygoing, aren't they?
I apologize.
We have so many problem children.
Then, behold the power of the large-scale anti-Basilisk weapon developed here at NIFL...
The Mistilteinn!
The operation begins in twelve hours.
Tear, are you scared?
Yeah.
I started shaking when I heard about the Basilisk.
Well, it was pretty crazy.
Blowing away time...
What if it gets you?
Does it turn you into bone?
I only hope it would leave the bones.
No.
I don't want you and the others to die.
Don't worry.
We don't want to die, either.
We'll fight so we don't turn into bone.
That's why we're all thinking of strategies.
I wish there was something I could do.
You're filling your role perfectly just by being here.
But...
Oh, yeah.
It'd help if you'd cheer for us, then.
I think that alone will bring our chances of success up really high.
Really?
Yeah.
Cheer for us, and we'll be motivated.
When we're motivated, we can do better than usual.
That's how it works.
Okay.
I'll cheer for everyone.
The operation will begin shortly.
It's finally time.
I've been informed that you'll be shooting it straight down.
The Basilisk's attack range is roughly 5,000 meters.
We'll be dropping it from an altitude of 8,000 meters.
By our calculations, that's far enough away to withstand the red beam.
All we need to do is to drop it straight onto the Basilisk.
What are the chances that it'll evade?
According to our observations so far, whenever the Basilisk detects an object heading towards it,
it stops moving to retaliate.
And according to our calculations,
it won't be fast enough to run from the Mistilteinn.
Mister!
You're the one with the color-changed Dragon Crest, aren't you?
Thank you for protecting me, Mister.
I'm cheering for you.
Good luck!
We've arrived above the target.
Drop the Mistilteinn!
Dropping.
Altitude: 6,000.
Entering Catastrophe range momentarily.
Altitude: 2,000.
Mistilteinn in good condition.
On course for impact with target.
Impact in five seconds.
Mistilteinn's signal lost.
What happened?
Mister!
Major General Dylan, what was that?
Major General Dylan! Major General Dylan!
Mistilteinn annihilated.
A new exit wound has been confirmed.
It's possible that a third eye, not in our prior data, has emerged.
What?
Transport vessel, respond.
This is mission command. This is mission command.
Major General Dylan...
Respond immediately.
Tear-san?
Her Dragon Crest...
It's hot.
It's calling me.
Tear-san!
Mononobe...
I haven't had hot spring eggs yet.
But I guess it's not the time for that.
Hm?
I'm Ren Miyazawa.
I can talk normally.
It's our turn next.
We're up against the Basilisk.
We'll attack in pairs.
Dark matter is the fragments of souls.
I hope I can manipulate them well.
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Red Catastrophe.

We've constructed a bomb with a protective shell hardened with mithril to critical mass.
With it, we can defeat the Basilisk.
Mistilteinn signal lost.
Mistilteinn annihilated.
Tear-san!
A new exit wound has been confirmed!
Tear?
Tear!
Tear-san!
Tear-chan!
It's hot.
It's calling me.
Tear!
Tear-chan.
Shinomiya-sensei.
To the medical office, quickly.
Right.
A third eye?
Yes. I'll send an image, along with other data.
After all the sacrifices made, this is how it ends.
No, that's not true.
The Basilisk must have opened its third eye...
because it was desperate.
That means nothing if it can't be defeated.
How is the girl with the color-changed Dragon Crest?
She's resting...
in the medical office.
You're not going to tell me to give her to NIFL, are you?
Brother.
Tell her I'm sorry we couldn't live up to her words of encouragement.
Major General Dylan.
I wish you all luck.
Are you sure about this?
Shouldn't we dispose of the girl with the color-changed Dragon Crest?
We at NIFL were the ones who captured her to begin with.
According to NIFL's latest data,
the third eye has a firing range of approximately ten kilometers, twice that of its other eyes.
They've determined that within seconds of exposure, several hundred million years are lost.
Several hundred million?
A normal Catastrophe takes 2,000 years in a second.
That wouldn't leave any bones,
let alone time to grow old.
That's not a problem.
2,000 years and several hundred million years...
are not much different to us.
Exactly.
It doesn't change our strategy.
We'll attack its diamond scales from a blind spot out of its attack range,
so quickly that it has no time to respond.
The Basilisk is currently 150 kilometers away from the island.
We'll begin attacking it when it's six kilometers away.
Six kilometers?
Won't it spot us if we don't start sooner?
We'll be on the other side of the mountain,
so it won't see us.
And as you know, the Earth is round.
After a certain distance,
anything on the surface is hidden below the horizon.
It becomes invisible, Iris Freya.
A person standing on the coast could be spotted at five kilometers, at best.
A person standing on the coast could be spotted at five kilometers, at best.
Given the Basilisk's size, they would be visible at around ten kilometers.
Given the Basilisk's size, they would be visible at around ten kilometers.
Given the Basilisk's size, they would be visible at around ten kilometers.
I thought it'd be more.
We'll be using two obstacles for this operation:
the volcanic island and the horizon.
You guys will be on standby on the other side of the island.
The commanding vessel will take Tear Lightning northward,
along the horizon line.
And the Basilisk will react to this ship carrying Tear-san, of course.
Yes.
As soon as its attention is diverted from the island,
you will all attack from the other side.
You'll fire at it through the island.
Through the island?
This operation will require a massive amount of dark matter.
Therefore, you will attack in pairs.
The pairs will be as follows:
Mononobe Mitsuki, Ariela Lu.
Yes.
I just send you my dark matter, right?
Got it.
Thank you, Ariela-san.
Lisa Highwalker, Ren Miyazawa.
Yes.
Okay.
But, Lisa, what about your injury?
I promised Tear-san that I'd be better by the time we start the operation.
I'm so glad, Lisa-chan.
That's impressive.
It doesn't make me happy to have you complimenting me.
This is a promise I made to Tear-san.
Right.
Next.
Firill Crest, Tachikawa Honoka.
I'll do my best.
Yes.
You've never been in actual combat, have you?
Stay calm and carry out the operation.
Okay.
Mononobe Yuu, you'll attack with anti-Dragon armaments.
Iris Freya, you'll assist with dark matter.
Right.
I do what I did in the fight against the Leviathan, right?
I'll do my best.
Yeah.
I'm counting on you.
Don't let your guard down until the Basilisk draws its last breath.
We can't discount the possibility,
as NIFL did, that it has abilities we don't fully understand.
NIFL failed, but we have the incalculable power of the D.
We'll end this before the Basilisk uses its red beam: the Catastrophe.
Are we clear?
Yes.
Anti-gravity.
Leviathan's power...
Anti-gravity.
You aren't the first to recreate a Dragon's ability.
There was another who defeated a Kraken and gained antimatter abilities.
Indeed, it was your sister, Mononobe Mitsuki.
Mitsuki...
So your ability to make anti-gravity particles
was likely triggered by the battle with the Leviathan.
Do you have a way to know that for sure?
For sure, huh?
It's an educated guess.
Don't make that face.
You can take comfort knowing it's happened before.
There's no need to fear that you're different.
Right.
Besides, I might be able to use this ability to help my friends.
That's the spirit.
Then go work hard.
Right.
In fact, couldn't it be said that all Ds have stolen the Dragons' abilities?
From the Dragons' perspective,
humans are terrifying pillagers who have stolen their privileges,
one after another.
Perhaps.
Pillagers...
No need to hesitate.
Take from the Basilisk too.
You aren't prey. You are predators.
I hope it's that easy.
Seigin, burst!
Burst! Burst!
Yay! I hit them!
Iris?
Mononobe, did you see that?
You hit them accurately from so far.
That's impressive.
I'm assisting you this time,
but it might be useful in some way, right?
I decided I'm going to do everything I can, the best I can.
Remember what I told you before?
That you always surpass my expectations.
You mean back then?
You know, when you said you wanted to...
I want to... know more about you someday, though.
I think I want you to know me, Mononobe.
I guess.
Just in case worst comes to worst,
can I ask you something?
Ask me what?
Iris,
are you sure it was okay to thank me the way you did?
Thank you?
You know, when the Leviathan came.
After that, on the beach...
Oh... y-yeah.
I used to kiss my family to greet them,
but that was on the cheek.
You're the first one I kissed on the...
lips.
Are you sure you wanted to give your first to me?
With you,
even my second...
Iris...
I—
N-No!
Don't say it now!
Wh-What was that for?
If you say something that'll make me sad,
I'll get really depressed.
I won't be able to do my job when I need to.
No, but...
Not even if it's something happy. Not now.
We both have to focus, for Tear-chan's sake.
All right, Iris.
Tear-san.
Tear.
Yuu...
Lisa...
We won't let the Dragon have you.
I know it's painful, but hang in there a little longer.
I'm going to wait for my husband.
That's a woman's strength.
Please do that, Tear.
I promise we'll defeat the Basilisk and be back.
It's time.
We're counting on you all.
Right.
Yuu.
Good luck.
Yeah.
Basilisk at fifteen kilometers.
Begin the operation!
Basilisk changing course towards east-northeast.
It's coming after us.
Brionac.
Come, Necronomicon.
Gungnir.
Let's go, Iris.
Okay.
Offering: Strength.
Requesting: Destruction.
Anti-Dragon armament, Marduke!
Primary cannon, Babel!
Basilisk approaching six kilometers.
Ariela-san, please.
Leave it to me.
Please.
Right!
Wow.
There's so much coming in.
Let's pierce it.
Now, Iris.
Okay.
Basilisk at six kilometers.
Begin countdown.
Nine, eight, seven, six, five...
Tear-san, I'll end your suffering now.
...four, three, two, one.
Fire!
Fire!
The Basilisk is intercepting with its third eye!
What?!
What?
No!
It can't be!
I remember the day I first stood in front of all of you.
I didn't fit in with the rest of the class.
It was you, Yuu-san, who called out gently to me.
Everyone, it was only for a short while, but thank you.
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Mistilteinn Falls.
Yuu-san, we'll meet again somewhere, won't we?

I want to... know more about you someday, though.
It's okay.
I think I want you to know me, Mononobe.
Mitsuki-san, do you insist that the guilt of having killed Miyako-san,
and the need to atone for it, is yours alone?
I'm confronting—
You don't even expect me to forgive you.
Don't say things like that so lightly.
I wish there was something I could do.
It'd help if you'd cheer for us, then.
I think that alone will bring our chances of success up really high.
Okay.
I'll cheer for everyone.
We won't let the Dragon have you.
Four, three, two, one.
Fire!
What?!
No!
Yuu-san!
All units, retreat immediately!
Keep your altitude as low as possible!
The operation team has returned!
Increase speed.
Leave the combat area!
Tear-chan...
I'm sorry.
I couldn't help you.
We couldn't do anything but run.
We lost.
Mitsuki?
Mononobe Yuu.
Good work out there.
It's thanks to you that everyone got back safely.
No, it's thanks to Honoka. She used her powers to make the ground collapse.
Otherwise, we'd all be...
But there's no time to celebrate making it back alive.
Now that our operation has failed,
NIFL won't stay quiet.
I knew you'd be here.
Brother.
Don't let it get to you.
The Basilisk had better perception capabilities than we expected.
If you and Honoka-san hadn't been there, we would have all died.
I couldn't protect anything, again.
Blaming yourself for everything like that,
is one of your bad habits.
Keep that up,
and you won't even last long enough to fight the Basilisk.
You're still...
I'm not giving up.
You made a promise with Lisa, too, didn't you?
Mitsuki's already decided how to confront her guilt.
So I want you to think about how you'll forgive her.
You're very partial toward your sister, aren't you?
Fine, then. I'll think of an impossibly difficult condition.
Has Lisa said anything?
No, nothing yet.
I see.
Listen, Mitsuki.
I don't want you taking all the responsibility upon yourself...
or breaking your promise with Lisa.
So don't give up.
Brother...
We have to do what we can to the best of our abilities.
Yes.
Altitude: 2,000.
Mistilteinn in good condition.
On course for impact with target.
Impact in five seconds.
I hate to admit it, but NIFL did better than we did.
We used the horizon and the island as walls,
and we took the Basilisk's line of sight into consideration.
Our plan should've been perfect.
How did it detect us?
Stop.
It didn't use its third eye when it pursued us.
It could've reached us if it had used its third eye.
Shinomiya-sensei.
What is it?
I'd like to talk to Loki Jotunheim of NIFL.
Of NIFL?
Hey, Lieutenant Mononobe.
I was just about to contact you.
Regarding the girl with the color-changed Dragon Crest.
I don't intend to kill Tear.
I heard that your operation failed.
Are you suggesting that you have another plan?
Yes.
Could you possibly convince them to hand over a Mistilteinn, Major Loki?
A Mistilteinn?
I doubt it's been mass-produced,
but there must still be a prototype.
It didn't work against the Basilisk, did it?
Why would you want such a thing?
I don't believe the Mistilteinn's design is conceptually flawed.
If we use it, there's a chance we can defeat the Basilisk.
You seem pretty confident.
I'll do what I can.
But there won't be a next time.
Keep that in mind, Lieutenant Mononobe.
There's something you want to protect that desperately, huh?
That Fafnir...
It's me.
Connect me to Major General Dylan.
I believe NIFL's strategic direction...
was the most effective choice against the Basilisk.
What the Mistilteinn didn't have
was an adequate amount of mithril armor.
That means,
if we Ds can make up for that with matter conversions...
We could use it to defeat the Basilisk, right?
Yes.
That may be true in theory,
but the third eye disintegrates even mithril in an instant.
NIFL gave up, in fact, because they determined
that no amount of mithril would suffice, right?
That's true if it keeps firing the Catastrophe.
What do you mean?
The Basilisk, until now,
has fired the Catastrophe from its third eye twice.
It had a discharge time of roughly five seconds both times.
Additionally, it could have fired in quick succession
when it was fighting us, but it didn't.
It's natural to assume that it's because there's a risk.
There's a limit to how much dark matter we can produce at any moment.
The same might be true of the Basilisk as well.
I wonder if it discharges everything it has.
It was definitely overkill for the Mistilteinn.
Maybe it gets emptied in five seconds.
So it's defenseless right after it attacks?
Maybe we can defeat it really easily at that moment.
That would make things simple.
We should assume that it will continue attacking as usual with its other two eyes.
Then what can we do?
That's where we use the Mistilteinn.
It's designed to be able to withstand the main Catastrophe attack.
I get it!
So with enough added mithril to defend it for five seconds from an attack by the third eye...
In theory, it would reach the Basilisk.
Yeah.
I believe it's worth considering.
I agree.
Let's come up with a new strategy based on this idea.
All right, let's do it.
Yeah.
We're just getting started.
Yuu-san.
Can I talk to you?
Sure.
Do you...
really believe this strategy will work?
Can we really defeat the Basilisk?
If we fail this time, Tear-san won't...
We have to do what we can.
The Basilisk might detect our attack again.
The Mistilteinn's descent can be controlled.
We'll have to work out the details of the plan,
but if we can complement it with the Ds' help...
Are you against it?
I think the Basilisk can react so fast...
because it has another, different ability.
Different?
The Catastrophe blows away time.
The Basilisk may be able to see what's at the end of that time.
The end of that time?
Mononobe!
Iris.
Come quick, Mononobe.
It's Mitsuki-chan and Lisa-chan!
Yuu...
I'll ask again.
Do you really mean what you're saying?
Of course.
I'll descend along with the Mistilteinn.
Mitsuki...
The warhead will be too large in our next operation.
The descent controls won't work.
So someone has to descend with the Mistilteinn in order to adjust its trajectory.
And I'm asking
why you must take on that role yourself!
As with the previous operation,
the Basilisk's abilities may exceed our expectations.
I can't hand over such a dangerous task to anyone else.
Mitsuki-san!
Please take care of Tear-san if worst comes to worst.
If worst comes to worst?
Do you really think that's acceptable?
Why do you always—
I don't need your approval.
This is my decision as Captain.
Mitsuki-chan...
Wait.
Firill-san.
If someone has to do it,
I will.
No. This is something I have to do.
No, if we're to consider the worst case scenario,
then I'm best suited to do it.
You're the captain, so you have to remain, Mitsuki.
Then it could be me too, right?
Yeah.
Me too.
You can't even fly, Iris-san.
That's true, but...
I can't let anyone go by themselves.
I also volunteer.
Brother!
I know, Mitsuki-san.
I've decided.
I've chosen the condition it will take for me to forgive you.
I demand that you include all volunteers, including me,
in a perfect strategy of your devising that can respond to any unforeseen circumstance.
And bring everyone back safely.
Everyone?
If you can do that,
I'll forgive you.
It's not going so well.
I can't believe you'd also oppose me.
What did you expect?
I'm going with you, even if I have to claw my way there.
I'm not leaving you alone.
You've always been so...
Stubborn.
You made that promise to me...
when we were kids too.
That you'd never leave me alone.
Y-Yeah.
When did that happen?
You have to work hard as well.
You want Lisa to forgive you, don't you?
Okay.
I'll come up with a new strategy.
Hey!
Hang in there!
Mononobe-san...
What happened?
Where's Tear?
It couldn't be.
Honoka!
What are you doing?
So long as this girl is here,
you and the others are the Basilisk's targets.
We must minimize the loss of Ds.
I could have taken her anytime I wanted to.
But it seems we've reached our limit.
Your plan is a dead end too.
Honoka!
I think Tear would be happier becoming a Dragon...
than becoming a corpse.
Bring her back to the sick bay.
You...
I figured the easiest way to find Tear,
after she was taken by NIFL, would be to disguise myself as someone else
and be sent to Midgar.
With biological conversion,
I can change my form as much as I like.
Honoka?
Honoka.
I liked that name quite a bit.
But I think I'd like you to call me by my real name.
Kili!
I'm glad to see you again...
Yuu.
Honoka... No, Kili.
You've been deceiving us all along.
I won't let you have Tear.
I won't let her become the Basilisk's mate.
What about you, Kili?
Do you want to live as a Dragon, or...
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Unlimited Fafnir.
Iris, Mitsuki, Tear, Lisa, Firill, Ariela, Ren...
We'll decide our future with our own hands!

I'm glad to see you again, Yuu.
A heartwarming reunion.
Or maybe not?
You've been deceiving us this whole time...
It really wasn't so bad.
It was always lively.
I'm a little disappointed that I have to go back to being alone.
I won't let you have Tear.
I won't let her become the Basilisk's mate!
Nitro Bullet!
You people seem to think that the only two options are...
either to defeat the Basilisk or to let Tear die.
But maybe she has a future living as a Dragon.
To hell with that.
Would she be better off dead than being a Dragon?
Really?
Is there anything worse than being dead?
There might not be.
But it's up to us to decide what's important.
And Tear has chosen to be a human.
I won't give her to the likes of you.
Fine.
I'll stop if you can kill me.
Anti-explosive armor Urk 73E!
Laevateinn!
D or not,
if they're human, you won't lose.
My Fafnir.
What's the matter?
Kill me.
Tear chose to live as a human.
What do you want to do?
Like I said, I'm a Dragon.
But you also told me to choose for you.
I think of you as a human.
Why?
Because I thought I could kill you.
I see.
You've decided that I'm a human.
Kili.
I'll let you have Tear back.
But the Basilisk is formidable.
I think it sees the future.
The future?
Show me that you're a lot better than the Basilisk.
Tear-san!
She's fine.
Get her to the sick bay, quickly.
Honoka-chan was...
The Basilisk sees the future?
Honoka-san... I mean, Kili really said that?
Yeah.
Then the incredible precognitive ability it used against NIFL
and at the island makes sense.
Yeah.
Why, Honoka-chan?
We were together all this time.
Even at the hot springs.
Was it all a lie?
Iris...
I'll be going over the plan one more time.
The Mistilteinn drop height will be 15,000 meters.
We'll move to the drop site on a large carrier provided by NIFL.
Firill-san and I will be in charge of controlling the Mistilteinn's drop.
It will be difficult to control its trajectory
once it's taken the Catastrophe attack.
We'll have to maintain position
I could get hooked on this!
above the Basilisk at all times using sensor data.
Yeah, I can do it.
I'm good with elaborate controls.
In anticipation of the Basilisk taking evasive action,
we will control its drop until just before impact.
We will retreat five seconds before impact.
But this will make it difficult to escape the explosion.
Therefore, we will ask Ariela-san to deploy multiple physical barriers.
Leave it to me.
Lisa-san and Ren-san, along with Firill-san and I,
will do what we can to deploy an air barrier.
This is sure to hold back the explosion.
And the two of you will be in charge of dealing with irregular circumstances.
Irregular?
In the event that the third eye attack exceeds five seconds.
If the attack exceeds five consecutive seconds,
respond with Plan A.
If it discharges a second time, Plan B.
If it takes evasive action,
please respond with Plan C.
Okay.
That will decide whether we all live or die.
We have the most crucial role.
I understand.
Watch as I complete it perfectly.
Mitsuki-san, I hope your plan will meet my expectations.
Finally, Brother and Iris-san.
What you do will depend largely on the circumstances.
Do you remember all the patterns?
Yeah, I'm all set. Probably.
"Probably" means you're not set at all.
Uh...
It's all right. I'll take the lead.
Okay, Brother,
please take care of your partner, Iris-san.
Just wait.
We'll take out the Basilisk for you, Tear.
The Basilisk has stopped.
Three minutes until drop.
It must have noticed.
All units have completed their descents.
The Basilisk stopped moving.
It seems to have noticed the Mistilteinn.
In three minutes, we'll arrive above the Basilisk and drop.
Understood.
Drop!
Drop initiated.
Igniting altitude control thrusters.
Altitude: 14,000 meters.
No signs of evasive maneuvers from the Basilisk.
Readjusting trajectory.
Passed the 12,000 meter mark.
The Basilisk is changing its posture.
It appears to be preparing to intercept the Mistilteinn.
Approaching altitude 10,000 meters.
It's coming!
An attack from the third eye!
We're separating from the Mistilteinn!
Count five!
Four, three...
Iris!
Two, one, zero.
Just as predicted.
Our calculations were right.
But...
ideally, we would have hoped for the attack to come after 5,000 meters.
Be ready for a second discharge from the third eye.
It might have used it early to buy time to charge up for a second shot.
That could be.
Altitude now below 5,000 meters.
It should be attacking with the standard Catastrophe now.
Altitude: 2,000 meters.
No sign of evasive maneuvers from the Basilisk.
We won't hold out if the third eye attacks again.
Second discharge approaching!
If the Basilisk is acting in response to the future it saw,
that's evidence that actions can change the future.
Then we must change our own futures, as well.
Initiating Plan B!
We will be the second spear.
Let's go, Ren-san!
Too late!
You're not getting away!
There's no future for you!
Anti-gravity!
Aero Blast Quartet!
Mjolnir!
Seigin, burst!
Anti-Dragon armament, Marduke!
Offering: power.
Seeking: destruction.
This time...
This time, I'm going to protect everything!
Megiddo, fire!
Final arrow: Last Quark!
It's gone. There isn't a trace of it left.
I'm told that Tear-san's Dragon Crest has faded,
and she's recovered.
We did it.
And everyone survived.
You've cleared all my conditions.
I'm talking about our promise.
Mononobe Mitsuki-san,
I forgive you.
You do?
But...
Jeez, you're such a pain.
Mitsuki-san,
you've worked hard enough already.
I admire you from the bottom of my heart.
I'm proud to be your friend,
and I love you as my family.
Thank you, Lisa-san.
Mononobe, us too.
Huh?
One, two...
Mononobe Yuu, what are you doing?
Victory should be celebrated with everyone.
Brother.
Yeah.
I was forced into it!
Congratulations on defeating the Basilisk!
All right! We won!
Congrats!
We did it!
I'm told that the Basilisk has been defeated.
Yeah.
You did it, huh?
That's my Fafnir.
You really did it, Yuu.
We'll meet again.
My chaste maidens are coming back!
It's a banquet tonight.
A huge banquet of fun and flirting!
You need to calm down.
Are you going out?
Yeah. What's up?
Brother,
thank you for everything you did...
about Lisa-san.
Nah.
You were the one who acted on it.
Still, I'm grateful.
I know now that it's wrong to give up on something...
just for your own sake.
So...
So...
I've decided not to give up on you, either.
Me?
Our promise as kids.
My feelings back then, when I promised...
that I'd love you more than anyone else, forever.
"Back then"?
The day...
we became siblings.
My feelings will never change.
I just wanted you to know that.
Sorry, I'm late.
Mononobe!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Nah, I wasn't waiting that long.
Your memories?
Yeah.
About when we met too?
I remember.
However...
every time I make a trade with the Yggdrasil,
I lose memories.
If I ever need more strength than I have now,
I'll make another trade.
If that happens,
I might forget about you too.
So...
It's okay.
Tell me about all your precious memories,
the ones you don't want to forget.
I'll remember them, so it'll be all right if you do forget.
You will?
I won't ever forget you as you are now.
I'll always be with you.
Brother, hurry up.
We'll be late.
It's fine.
We'll make it by the opening chime.
That's not good enough.
I'd be setting a bad example as the student council president
if I barely arrived at school in time.
Hey...
Yuu!
Good morning.
Morning, Tear.
Good morning, Tear-san.
Good morning.
Morning.
It's a nice morning.
Good morning.
Good morning, Mononobe Yuu.
You didn't arrive just in the nick of time, for once.
I-I'm sorry!
Good morning, everyone.
You're all here.
Morning, Iris.
Morning, Mononobe.

UNBIASED
Twenty-five years ago,
massive creatures emerged into the world without warning.
Simply by moving, they caused enormous damage.
The Dragons are nothing if not huge.
Defying all common sense, these monsters vanished as quickly as they appeared.
Since then, people with the same powers as the Dragons have come to be born.
And three years ago...
This place is like a dream.
Those who possess the same powers as the Dragons...
are called Type Dragons, or D.
Why is there a man here?
Well, I...
Kerykeion!
I can fight too, you know.
I can handle one intruder.
Wait! Calm down!
From afar I summon thee, Seigin.
Hey, now!
She's pretty.
H-Hang on!
Let go, molester! Pervert!
I'm neither a molester nor a pervert!
You're not fooling me.
There aren't supposed to be any men on Midgar.
I was brought here.
I got stuffed into a NIFL container.
NIFL?
A soldier?
Yeah, my name's Mononobe Yuu.
Mononobe Yuu...
I'm sixteen years old.
That's the same as me!
So... why is there a soldier here?
Put that on first.
R-Right...
What's your name?
Iris.
Iris Freya.
Sorry about that.
It was to stop you from attacking me, but...
Seriously.
I-I thought you were going to do something perverted.
I wouldn't!
Why were you naked, anyway?!
Hm?
A-Anyway, put your own clothes on and give me back my shirt.
What? But I already put it on!
No way.
You're going to sniff it and lick it.
I'm not!
Mononobe, molester!
Mononobe, pervert!
Molester! Pervert!
Iris-san,
could you please not use a person's last name to call them a molester or pervert?
Oh, right, your last name's also Mononobe, Mitsuki-chan.
It's been three years...
Brother.
Join the school?
Yes.
I thought Midgar was only for girls.
Here. It's your uniform.
I'll fill you in on the details later.
We can't have you dressed so indecently forever.
So it's you.
The first male student since the academy was founded.
Mononobe Yuu.
Yeah... Yes.
My name is Shinomiya Haruka.
I'm in charge of the Brynhildr class, and I teach.
My rank is colonel. I'm in command here at Midgar.
Forgive my rudeness, Colonel.
Please don't call me Colonel at school.
I heard you were exemplary at NIFL.
Let's confirm how knowledgeable you are.
Do you know why this Midgar exists?
I'm told that it was initially a quarantine zone for Ds captured by NIFL.
However, because Ds are now recognized internationally as having human rights,
it broke away from NIFL
and joined Asgard to become an autonomous educational facility.
And what are its current activities?
To promote the use of the Ds' powers for the good of society.
It educates its students on the conversion of dark matter into rare resources,
as well as on becoming the ultimate weapons in the fight against the Dragons.
I'd grade that at about forty percent.
Midgar's most important role is something else...
although it's not known to the public.
There's no doubt they'll target this place someday.
There's no doubt.
I didn't think I'd be transferred to the academy.
I thought I'd be on coast guard service or something.
The Midgardsormr are adequate for guard service.
Besides, Brother, you meet the requirements for attending this academy.
Because I'm a D?
Yes.
A school-wide assembly is about to begin.
I'm going to introduce you to everyone there.
Introduce me?
You are?
Yes. I'm the student body president.
Wow.
A male D?
Really?
He's a D first and a man second.
He's one of our few comrades.
To accept him as one of our own without discriminating against him for his sex
is proof that we are highly socially-aware members of humanity and proud Ds.
He is my brother,
therefore I will punish him all the more severely for any problem he may cause.
So please, do not worry. Carry on with your school activities as usual.
To say nothing of my own worries, huh?
Please give my brother a warm welcome.
My name is Mononobe Yuu.
I'm inexperienced, but I look forward to working with you.
You can't be inexperienced.
I told you, what happened this morning was a mistake.
But I'll be careful.
You'll be in the same class as me.
There's a special curriculum for fighting the Dragons.
Work hard.
Yeah.
It's difficult, in a lot of ways.
Here's his formal introduction.
His name is Mononobe Yuu.
Nice to meet you.
Sensei.
Lisa Highwalker.
I don't approve.
We can't have a man in Midgar.
Isn't this an abuse of authority?
No, it was decided through formal procedures and evaluations.
That's correct.
The Dragon Crest on his left hand is unassailable evidence that he's a D.
Then can we have you show us your actual D powers?
I agree.
It's a good opportunity.
I'd like to see, too.
All right.
Dark matter is a versatile factor that can be converted into any material or phenomenon in the world.
Being able to create it is evidence that I'm a D.
AT Nergal.
Mononobe, is that a gun?
Yeah.
It can fire live bullets.
I get that you can produce dark matter.
But why did you waste it on that?
Waste?
This isn't NIFL.
Your enemies aren't human.
Lisa, list all of the Dragons confirmed to date.
Yes.
The first one that appeared 25 years ago was the Black Vritra.
The White Leviathan, the Red Basilisk, the Blue Hecatoncheir,
the Yellow Hraesvelgr, the Green Yggdrasil, and the Purple Kraken, which was defeated two years ago. Seven in all.
Then what is the Dragon we are currently planning to defeat?
Iris Freya.
Y-Yes, ma'am!
The Red Basilisk.
The Basilisk wears diamond scales.
What do you hope to accomplish with that gun?
I'm sorry.
Mitsuki-san, your brother really isn't much, is he?
But I think my brother has shown that he's a D.
Th-That's right. I'm surprised a man can be a D too.
Right, Mononobe?
Iris-san.
Do you know him?
I had no idea.
Mononobe was one of us...
It doesn't bother me.
Me either.
I'm not bothered by what happened this morning.
What happened this morning?
Well...
I was seen naked, pushed down, and nearly had my clothes taken away.
No, that's...
Brother...
He's scum.
That was... That was...
That was a lifetime's worth of exhaustion.
Mononobe, what's wrong?
Whose fault do you think...
Hm?
No, nothing.
Anyway, why did they make an exercise room underground?
To avoid material contamination.
We could make poison gas if we tried, after all.
We'd do something that dangerous?
It's just a precaution.
We might mess up a matter conversion and make some by accident.
Mess up a matter conversion, huh?
Wh-What?
Nah, just thinking you'd probably be the most at risk,
having seen the explosion this morning.
Th-That's not true.
I'm going to get it right today.
You mean you've never succeeded before?
All right, here we go.
O-Okay...
Ow, ow.
You're so stiff.
No, you're just pushing too hard.
I'll go slower this time, then.
I-I can't go any further.
That's enough.
We're beginning the drill.
Huh?
This is your first time, Brother, so watch from the other room.
Sure.
For the sake of the newcomer,
we're going to mix in some review.
What's the most versatile matter exchange?
Lisa Highwalker?
Air.
She's flying.
Exchanging to air generates wind.
If you can control it, you can fly.
Basics.
Now then, commence the Basilisk combat drill.
So much matter conversion.
It's diamond.
Watch carefully, Mononobe Yuu.
I'll show you the difference between us.
Gungnir.
What's the spear for?
It's difficult to get a clear image when you go straight to a dark matter conversion,
and that can lead to unexpected conversions.
You converted dark matter directly into a gun,
but that's normally considered improper.
That spear isn't materialized yet?
Its form has been changed, so its surface is slightly materialized.
But 99% of it is still dark matter.
Pierce!
Flare!
The diamond...
Swords slash, spears pierce, bows are shot.
Matter converted while picturing a weapon in use
automatically becomes the force of the attack.
Next, Firill Crest.
Come, Necronomicon.
Aero Blast Quartet!
It's a cannonball made of air that's been compressed to the extreme.
Have you noticed something, Mononobe Yuu?
The girls aren't picturing actual bullets in any of their matter conversions.
All they picture is magic.
Magic?
Women have impressive imaginations.
Next, Ren Miyazawa.
Mjölnir.
Wind!
Ariella Lu.
Aegis.
Deploy barrier!
Mononobe Mitsuki.
Brionac.
First Arrow: Folk Wind!
This is how the girls prepare for battle with the Dragons...
and for their own self-defense.
Hm?
Do you know why the Dragons appeared all over the world at once?
No.
They're pairs.
Pairs?
Each Dragon is searching for its matching D.
The Ds have Dragon Crests, yes?
Yes.
Those who have attracted a Dragon change color.
And if the D comes in contact with that Dragon,
they will be transformed into the same kind of Dragon.
That's impossible.
A D becomes a Dragon?
This is a fact that was confirmed during a battle with the Purple Kraken.
We took down two Krakens two years ago.
Does she mean they killed a comrade who had become a Dragon?
Since then, Midgar's role has undergone a fundamental change.
It became a fortress for protecting attracting Ds,
and for intercepting Dragons deprived of their mates.
I'm going to get it right today.
Kerykeion!
Come, come, distant fragment.
Come, come, distant fragment.
Seigin! Emerge!
Wind!
Thanks, Lisa-chan.
Sheesh.
You're helpless.
She failed again.
One more time, please.
At least she tries.
Yeah.
One more time, please.
Hey.
I'm going to get it right tomorrow for sure.
You're going to fail again.
You don't have to be so blunt.
You're supposed to cheer me up at a time like this.
I could give you baseless hope through empty encouragement,
but you'd just make the same mistake again.
You won't live long if you don't own up to your failures.
O-Own up to my failures...
You probably thought you could do it through sheer effort, right?
How could you tell?
Anyone could tell.
I guess.
Just trying hard isn't enough.
Why are you working so hard?
Because I...
I used to live on the outside, like normal, until a year ago.
But while I was on a boat with my parents, a White Leviathan passed by, and the boat sank.
A Dragon disaster.
Yeah.
They all died in that Dragon disaster.
That's when my powers first awoke, and I survived.
So you're here to get revenge on the Dragons?
No.
I don't have any complicated feelings, like hatred, in me.
But I just feel like I need to fight.
I think that's why I survived.
I see.
S-Sorry... You don't like that sort of thing, right?
Y-Yeah.
By the way, why were you naked earlier?
M-My swimsuit got swept away by the waves.
You really are clumsy, Iris.
You're so mean.
Why do you care about me, Mononobe?
Hm?
The people in class are nice to me too,
but you're the first one who's been this nice,
so I want to know how you feel.
That's probably because you're like Mitsuki when she was younger.
I'm nothing like Mitsuki-chan.
She used to resemble you in some ways.
She still is, but she used to be a striver, like you.
I think that's why I can't just leave you.
I see.
That's a bit disappointing.
Hm?
But it doesn't matter.
I just have to try hard going forward.
Mononobe.
What?
I want to get to know you better.
S-So if it's okay with you...
Emergency alert. Emergency alert.
Alert Level C.
Type White.
Repeat.
Alert Level C.
Type White.
Is Level C bad?
Iris?
It's nothing.
Level C happens sometimes.
My Dragon Crest feels hot.
Am I attracting the Leviathan?
If they get past the final line of defense, I'm going to end up a Dragon.
Then everyone's going to...
No way.
I really don't want that.
I'm not going to become a Dragon?
Really?
Can I believe you?
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
White Leviathan.
Mononobe, will you stay with me?

I want to get to know you better.
S-So if it's okay with you...
Emergency alert. Emergency alert.
Alert Level C.
Type White.
Repeat.
Alert Level C.
Type White.
Twenty-five years ago,
massive creatures emerged into the world without warning.
Simply by moving, the Dragons caused enormous damage.
Defying all common sense, these monsters vanished as quickly as they appeared.
Since then, people with the same powers as the Dragons have come to be born.
They are called Type Dragons, or Ds.
A Type White is heading towards Midgar!
Estimated time of arrival?
Displaying now.
Hey, there. It's been a while, Second Lieutenant Mononobe.
Major Loki?
I intended to contact you a bit sooner.
But as it turns out, Midgar's firewall is as secure as its physical defenses.
I wasn't really waiting for you to contact me.
I apologize for the rough method we used to send you to the island.
NIFL was in a hurry.
Is this about the White Leviathan?
You're quick on the uptake. That's great.
Have you heard that a D can transform into a Dragon?
Yes.
A terrifying story indeed.
It makes me shudder to think that the number of those monsters might increase.
We must prevent that from happening at all costs.
I know.
Now, it should be obvious how we can deal with this more efficiently than by killing the Dragons.
We get rid of the D whose Dragon Crest has changed color.
The world is afraid of hurting Ds, and Ds won't abandon their brethren.
Therefore, I need someone to work behind the scenes.
And you're telling me to do that?
I'm not telling you to do it.
I'm asking you to.
If worst comes to worst, you can just kill that D.
Please don't make it sound like it's easy to do.
It is easy.
D or not, as long as the enemy is a human being, you won't lose.
You're NIFL's strongest Fafnir, after all.
If you don't cooperate, we'll be forced to use more inefficient methods.
Think about it carefully.
Last night, at 7:41 PM, an Alert Level C event occurred.
The White Leviathan that's heading toward Midgar
is a Dragon that supposedly circles the Pacific Ocean in a fixed route.
But this time, it has gone off course and entered the danger zone.
These deviations are not new. There was even a case of a cruise ship sinking.
The Dragon disaster that involved Iris?
However, this time it's heading straight to Midgar.
It's expected to arrive in approximately 33 hours.
We've confirmed that its behavior is the same as the Purple Kraken of two years ago.
So the student whose Dragon Crest is changing should report it immediately.
Iris?
Even if the Leviathan is after you and manages to break in, we'll fight without hesitation.
We will never abandon you!
She couldn't have...
Where's Iris?
She's not here yet.
She wasn't looking so good this morning.
Maybe she's in the infirmary.
You.
You seem to really care about Iris-san.
I'm just worried.
That's so like you.
I-I'm not really...
Mitsuki, I can't find Iris.
Do you know something?
No.
I'll look for her.
Please explain to the teacher.
Brother...
Iris?
Iris!
Mononobe.
Why?
I should be asking you that.
I needed some time to relax.
Can you show me your Dragon Crest?
Mononobe, you pervert.
Iris...
I know.
I'm sorry.
It's getting stronger.
I thought about jumping from here, but I was scared.
I'm not a strong girl.
They will never abandon you.
They'll fight at risk to their lives.
I'm scared.
Don't you believe in them?
But when the final defense line is breached, and there's nothing else we can do...
I won't be able to kill myself.
I'm sure I'll turn into a Dragon.
Then I'll hurt everyone, and I don't want that!
I definitely don't want that to happen.
Iris...
It's okay.
You won't turn into a Dragon. I'm sure of it.
If worst comes to worst, I'll kill you.
You will?
Yeah.
So you can rest easy and let Mitsuki and the others protect you.
I won't give up till the very end.
Can I really trust you?
Just leave it to me.
To tell you the truth, I'm the world's strongest assassin,
or at least I was supposed to become that.
What do you mean?
Emergency alert. Emergency alert.
Confirmed that a person's Dragon Crest has changed color. Raising the alert...
How is Iris?
Earlier, she was undergoing medical scans and questioning.
Even though being chosen by a Dragon must be terrifying,
she's remaining calm and cooperative.
What should I do?
You won't be part of the interception forces this time.
Perfect.
Would you let me handle something?
I'll protect Iris from something else besides the Dragon.
Can you please explain?
NIFL?
They might try to pull a fast one.
So if I guard Iris, I'm sure NIFL won't make a move.
Hold on, please.
If it comes down to it, you'll kill Iris-san?
Yeah, but I'll decide when exactly that is.
If that time comes—
Please stop!
I don't want to hear you talking like that.
Mitsuki?
You have my permission to guard her.
However, in the event that her transformation becomes inevitable,
I'll kill her myself.
No, you can't!
Brother...
Just let me handle everything!
It's okay.
My hands are no longer...
Mitsuki?
I see.
So you'll accept the job. That's great.
I'm really lucky to have such an excellent subordinate.
Oh, you're not my subordinate anymore.
That's the story, so please don't interfere.
I understand.
I won't get in your way.
I trust you, Second Lieutenant Mononobe.
You're the last person who should use the word "trust."
So it's true that you'll be monitoring Iris-san.
Not monitoring; guarding.
Are you here because you're worried about Iris?
Of course. She's my classmate, after all.
I knew it. You actually do care about your friends.
Wh-When did I ever say that I didn't?
We've been separated from our parents, so we treat our classmates as family.
As family, huh?
Let's just get this straight. I haven't accepted you.
I don't think of you as family yet.
Well anyway, you should rest and prepare for battle.
I can't do that.
This will be the first actual combat in two years.
Actual combat?
You know about the battle against the Kraken two years ago?
Of course.
I was fighting in the front lines.
Shinomiya-sensei talked about the two Krakens that were destroyed back then.
Was it...
It was Mitsuki-san who did it.
I knew there was no other choice,
but my feelings are a different matter.
I can't forgive Mitsuki-san for killing my family.
Family?
Her name was Shinomiya Miyako, Brynhildr class, seat number four.
Shinomiya-sensei's younger sister.
Hey.
Mononobe!
This is the bath,
and over here, you can see what's happening on the island.
Before that, please change your clothes.
It's a little embarrassing, but I'm fine if it's you.
I don't mind.
Well, I do!
Come on, Mononobe. Sit down.
Sit there?
One... two...
H-Hey!
Please.
There will be another Dragon Crest examination soon.
You're not scared of touching me?
No.
When you touched me while we were on the roof, it felt warm, and I was able to relax.
So please...
Iris...
Mitsuki...
Did you see that just now?
It wasn't on purpose!
Do guys really like to see panties?
Huh?
Of course not—
So they do like it.
Say, um, would you like to see my panties?
If that would make you happy, I don't mind.
I feel like I should thank you.
H-Hey...
Wait a second.
You don't need to do that!
You don't want to see mine?
It's not about who the panties belong to.
You shouldn't do that willy-nilly.
It's not willy-nilly.
Then all the more so.
You should value yourself more highly.
I just want to thank you.
Mononobe...
you won't guard me?
I'll just stay here.
Then you should get in first.
Why should I go first?
If I let you in after me, you'll lick the bathtub or drink the bathwater.
I won't!
I'm bushed.
She wouldn't...
I want to thank you after all, so I'll wash your back...
Don't come in if you're just going to scream!
Y-You won't guard me?
I'll be sleeping in the next room.
I don't want to be alone.
This could be my last day.
Why me?
If you don't want to be alone, you can ask Lisa or Mitsuki.
Because you were nice to me.
Because you treated me the kindest.
Isn't that sufficient?
I'm not exactly kind or anything.
No, you're very kind!
Thank you, Mononobe.
Just think about living instead of dying.
But you said you'd kill me.
Yeah.
In the ten-thousand-to-one worst case, I'll kill you before you turn into a Dragon.
But you should also think about the more likely outcomes.
The more likely outcomes?
If it's a ten-thousand-to-one chance, there are still 9999 possible futures ahead.
Futures where I won't have to kill you.
That's just wordplay.
You think so?
I really think worst won't come to worst.
Besides, your classmates are all doing their best.
Let's have faith in them.
It's mysterious, somehow.
If you say something, I can't help but agree with you.
Then go to sleep already,
so you'll be ready for tomorrow and the days to come.
Okay.
Good night, Mononobe.
Good night.
Yuu-kun!
Yuu-kun!
Wait for me!
You're slow, Mitsuki!
Amazing!
I know, right?
The buildings look so small.
Where's my house?
Around there.
There it is!
Where's your house?
Over there. Where the shopping district is.
I don't see it.
You're hopeless, Mitsuki.
I'm not!
I was able to keep up with you today!
I guess.
Good girl.
I finally caught up with you.
We'll be together from now on!
It's hot.
Besides, we can't be together forever.
We can.
If we get married, we'll be together until we get old!
My mom said kids can't get married.
I know. So until we become adults, we'll just be engaged.
Engaged?
Here's your engagement kiss, Yuu-kun.
The price is your memory.
It's here, Mononobe.
The first defense line has been breached!
It's heading straight here!
You amorous Dragon...
You sure have guts to challenge us.
White Leviathan...
The first defense line has been breached.
Can we escape from the White Leviathan and its anti-gravity ability?
If we can't, please hand over Iris-san.
We can't let what happened two years ago happen again.
Hand her over before she turns into a Dragon.
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Roaring Fafnir.
Please don't stop me, Brother.

Hold on, please.
If it comes down to it, you'll kill Iris-san?
However, in the event that her transformation becomes inevitable,
I'll kill her myself.
No, you can't!
It's okay.
My hands are no longer...
Leviathan is approaching weapons' range.
Not yet. Let it come closer.
Fire!
Anti-gravity...
It generated a repulsive force field and bent space itself.
It possesses the power of repulsion, the ability to deflect practically anything.
I'm counting on you, ladies.
Understood, Shinomiya-sensei.
An easy matter.
We won't give it a chance to deflect.
Simultaneous attacks from all directions.
All hands, fire!
Pierce... Flare!
Aero Blast Quartet!
Mjölnir!
First Arrow: Folk Wind!
No.
It's furious.
Everyone,
get away!
Deploy barrier!
Restore the monitor! Hurry!
Retreat! Pull back the defensive line!
Assessing the situation.
At a time like this?
Mitsuki...
I only called for you.
I thought it would be dangerous to leave Iris alone.
Iris, cover your ears until we're done talking.
It would be best if you didn't listen.
NIFL has infiltrated here, right?
It's only a matter of time before they make their way through Midgar Zolom.
So you'll just leave Iris to die?
I know that this is not the best decision.
But I can't let what happened two years ago happen again.
You mean your younger sister?
I see you found out.
And so you let NIFL step in.
It's better than letting those girls shoulder the burden.
Could you please tell me their infiltration route?
Just leave the rest to me.
Iris entrusted her life to me.
I won't yield it to anyone.
That's absurd. What can you do on your own?
If my opponents are human beings, I can do anything.
Let's go, Iris.
Where to?
Mononobe Yuu. You are...
Requesting contract.
Is NIFL coming to kill me?
I used to be in the special forces directly controlled by the minister. They're probably on their way here.
I'll drive them all away.
Can I stay with you?
That would be the safest option.
As long as you're with me, you won't die.
There are six of them.
Iris, you stay here.
Okay.
AT Nergal.
Are you going to kill them?
I'll just knock them out.
But your opponents are carrying real guns, aren't they?
It's okay. Just let me take care of this.
Mononobe...
It's all right now, Iris.
Mononobe!
I heard gunshots, and I was so scared!
I was afraid you might get shot!
I told you I'd take care of it.
Yeah.
When you say something, things turn out fine, right?
You monster!
No!
Iris! That was...
I'm not sure. I wasn't really thinking...
When I thought you were going to die, I...
I...
Look here.
You should be worrying about yourself right now.
Leviathan is after you.
I know.
Let's go back to the shelter quickly.
No. Going there is pointless.
No matter how much we try to hide underground, if it gets close, it can break through easily.
We'll only be buying time.
There's a better way.
If it gets through the last line of defense, we'll attack it.
Just the two of us?
That's impossible!
It's not.
From what I've observed so far, the most effective move against Leviathan is...
There's no effective move against it!
Mitsuki-chan!
The enemy is approaching the third line of defense.
There's no hope now.
Brother, please hand over Iris-san.
Mitsuki...
This is something I have to do!
My hands are no longer...
Is it about Shinomiya Miyako?
She was your classmate.
I can't even begin to imagine how you felt when you had to kill a friend who'd turned into a dragon.
But still, you can't just kill Iris—
I won't let you kill Iris-san!
My hands became tainted two years ago!
I won't let you kill her either.
Mononobe... Mitsuki-chan...
Don't fight! This isn't the time for—
No. This is the time.
Words won't stop this stubborn sister of mine.
This is the only way to make my bullheaded brother listen.
I can see your panties.
The one who touches the other's head first wins.
That's our rule when we have a fight.
If you violate it, it's over between us.
You remember, right?
Yes.
Mitsuki-chan...
Arguing about who's going to kill Iris is pointless.
How about we give it all we have until our last breath instead?
Until our last breath?
What are you guys doing here?
I-I'm sorry, Lisa-chan.
You don't have to apologize.
Your life's at stake in this battle. You have the right to choose what you think is best.
But still, Mononobe Yuu...
The most effective move against Leviathan is Iris's attack.
My attack?
No matter what Iris tries to materialize, it only explodes.
That's why.
From what I've seen, Iris's spatial perception is by no means poor.
She should be able to cause damage by materializing explosive material very close to the enemy's body.
But I... don't know if I can actually do that.
You did it earlier, didn't you?
But still...
It's here!
Leviathan is approaching the third line of defense!
It's calling me.
It's crying that it wants me!
It's not too late.
Hurry up and take Iris-san to the underground shelter!
What do you want to do?
Will you just let it wreak havoc?
I...
I...
Kerykeion!
Can you aim at it from here?
It's far, but I'll try!
I'll hit it with as many as I can!
Come, come, distant fragment.
Stay away!
I despise you!
Seigin... Burst!
Iris-san just did that?
Mitsuki!
Resume the attack!
All hands, get into position!
Seigin... Burst!
Burst!
Burst!
Now!
Aim at the opening in the force field!
Pierce... Flare!
It's working.
Aero Blast Quartet!
Mjölnir!
First Arrow: Folk Wind!
Seigin! Burst!
The third line of defense has been breached!
Is it going to happen again?
Seigin... Burst!
I won't give up.
I won't yield to a monster that took everyone precious to me!
I won't just stand here and let myself get taken away too!
Stay away!
You're not giving up, Mitsuki?
Our house is over there.
That town is a place where we can be a family!
I wanted power.
Confirming request.
Releasing portion of the Akashic records.
Analyzing. Interests match.
Who's there?
Proposition.
I am Gaia's oldest dragon, Tohue.
Acht calls me by the name Kiskanu...
or Yggdrasil.
Yggdrasil?
Could it be... the green dragon?
Are you the real one?
There's no way a dragon can talk to a human!
Confirming once more.
Requesting examination of the contract.
What will you offer?
What do I need to give for payment?!
I will offer you power.
What I seek is annihilation.
The price is your memory.
Stay away!
Please don't stop me.
No matter what happens, I will always be your brother.
Can you lend me your power?
You're not going to kill me yet?
Just leave the rest to me.
I want power!
I accept that contract!
Union acknowledged.
Let's continue the contract, Yggdrasil!
Reunion acknowledged.
What I seek is annihilation of all the other dragons.
I need more power than last time!
I will offer you power.
The price is your memory.
Severing the union.
Marduk gun: Babel!
Fire!
Final Arrow:
Last Quark!
We won.
Did we do it?
Everything's back to normal, Mononobe!
Mononobe!
A job well done, Second Lieutenant Mononobe.
I was right to trust you.
I didn't expect you to perform this well.
See you. I appreciate your continued cooperation,
my Fafnir.
It's curfew time soon.
Besides, are you all right?
I'll be back right away.
As you can see, I'm just fine.
Sorry for making you worry.
I'm a bad brother.
Iris.
Mononobe. Are you okay now?
I just fainted. That's all.
So what did you want from me?
I wasn't able to finish what I wanted to say to you last time.
I thought I'd tell you now.
Last time?
Can I be your friend?
We're already friends.
No way!
When exactly did we become friends?
I don't really know.
I'd say we've been friends for a while now.
You always give me what I want, Mononobe.
So I...
So... let me show my gratitude.
Thank you, Mononobe.
Hurray! We defeated Leviathan!
And I got to be friends with Mononobe.
I'm really happy.
That's why I gave Mononobe my first...
A new friend?
Mononobe's wife?
Take a bath together?
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Tear the Dragon Girl.
It's always Tear-chan! No fair, Mononobe!

Kili Surt Muspelheim.
Can burn people or things without touching them.
A D that specializes in materializing fire.
This one chose to live as a dragon.
Emergency alert. Emergency alert.
Alert level A. Type Blue.
I repeat.
Alert Level A. Type Blue.
It's the Blue Hecatoncheir!
Brother...
What's it doing here?
That's... a dragon.
No abnormalities in the defense system!
Then how did it get in?
Are you telling me no one noticed?
Well, there's no point in crying over it now.
But it had to be that pesky one, of all things.
Noncombatants are advised to remain calm and take refuge in the dormitory shelter.
No matter what happens, please stay away from the academy.
At the moment, there's only one person with a change in their Dragon Crest.
Which means it's likely that the Hecatoncheir is after Tear Lightning.
Understood, Shinomiya-sensei.
What's going on here?
How did it slip past Midgar's defense system without being noticed and get all the way here?
That doesn't matter.
What matters is that it's right in front of us.
Yuu...
You'll only make Tear-san feel uneasy if you look so worried.
Lisa...
This is your first time seeing a real dragon, isn't it?
But it's all right.
We're here for you.
Okay.
I'm sorry, Tear.
It's okay.
Lisa-san, I'd like you to take charge of Tear-san's safety.
Not Mononobe Yuu?
Brother has a different task,
so I'm asking you.
Tear-san trusts you.
At the end of the day, you're the one who can deal with the situation appopriately.
I understand.
Yuu, are you going?
It's all right. I won't disappear.
I'll come back for sure.
But...
He'll be fine.
He looks anything but a weakling.
Okay.
Firill-san, Ren-san, please stand by on the school rooftop.
Understood.
Mitsuki-chan, what about me?
Join up with us, Iris-san.
Ariella-san, report from the sky on any changes in the situation.
Got it.
Okay. It's on!
Don't just look at it! Get to the shelter, quick!
Okay!
It's not moving at all.
What's wrong with it?
Trying to figure out a dragon's behavior is pointless.
We don't even know why they roam around the world in the first place.
Listen. Don't waste your time trying to take it down.
The Hecatoncheir is immortal.
Even if you manage to damage it, the injured parts just regenerate.
Attacking all at once doesn't work?
In the past, NIFL used fuel-air explosive bombs and was able to destroy its whole body,
but it regenerated completely.
The only thing we can do right now is focus on defense to minimize damage.
There are exceptions though.
I want power!
I accept that contract!
Union acknowledged.
Fire!
You brought me here so I could fight it off like I did three years ago, didn't you?
You're right.
If there's anyone who can drive it off even temporarily, it's you, Brother.
However...
However, that's a last resort.
If you do something like that again, Midgar will suffer enormous damage.
Also...
Is it all right for you to use that power?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
Besides, what's the point if I don't use it now?
We need to protect Tear and the academy.
We should just focus on that.
I understand.
Are you scared?
Don't worry. I'm here with you.
I won't let the dragon have you.
I won't leave you alone.
Can Yuu and the others win?
Trusting her man and waiting for him is a woman's strength.
A woman's strength?
It's part of being a good wife.
Okay.
Who are you?!
I've come for you, Tear.
Kili...
Kili?
Would you hand her over to me?
Why would I do that?
Now, come here.
Gungnir!
Run, Tear-san!
Lisa!
Hurry!
What's this nonsense?
I won't let you have her!
Oh, dear. Whatever will I do?
I'm not bluffing.
What was that just now?
I'm not done yet.
Lisa, this way!
In here.
Lisa.
I'm fine. It's just a scratch.
But...
You're one naughty little girl.
I will graciously give you my gratitude if you hand her over.
Gungnir!
I graciously decline.
No, Lisa!
Run!
Tear-san. Taking care of things when her husband is absent is also a woman's strength.
I don't have all night.
Pierce! Flare!
Tear-san!
Brother?
Did you hear something just now?
I didn't.
Me neither.
The dragon-worshipping organization has initiated its plan to retrieve Tear Lightning.
Huh?
Midgar's defenses are strong.
Infiltration won't be easy.
So there's no doubt that she will make a move.
It can't be!
Brother?
Mononobe?
Lisa! Lisa!
Oh, my. What's wrong?
What happened to that woman's strength of yours?
Lisa!
Lisa!
Lisa!
Lisa!
I guess it's a bit too soon.
Come on. Let's go.
I won't let you...
Lisa!
I promised...
I wouldn't leave you alone.
You're really getting on my nerves.
Mitsuki-chan.
Yes.
Brother!
Don't move!
Let go of Tear, Kili Surt Muspelheim.
It seems there is no need for introductions.
I know you very well too,
Mononobe Yuu.
The only male D in the whole world.
The leader of the dragon-worshipping organization.
The calamity-class D.
Please don't look so angry.
I just want to get along with you.
Shooting at me without any warning is just mean.
Flames?
No, that was a high-temperature substance conversion.
When did she do that?
I just want to take her to the Basilisk.
Why must you two get in the way?
You and that other girl.
What have you done to Lisa?!
No way.
It's your fault.
She got hurt because you wouldn't come with me quietly.
It's my fault.
He will be the next victim,
but there's no need to grieve.
They aren't real, after all.
Stop!
Don't do any more than this, Kili!
If live ammunition doesn't work, I'll use a fictional weapon!
Are you going to kill me?
You can stop me if you do.
Kili!
Nitro Bullet!
If she's performing substance conversion, dark matter should be visible.
Stop.
I will become a dragon bride.
There. Very well said.
Now, throw away all that is false.
Become the real you.
What are you?
I'm a dragon.
Stop.
Too bad.
Tear already made her choice.
Right?
I promised you, didn't I?
I promised you that I wouldn't disappear.
We are not fakes.
We're right here, Tear!
Women don't like persistent men, you know.
Come on. Let's go.
Becoming the Basilisk's wife is the happiest choice for everyone, including you.
Happy?
Tear!
Don't worry. I'm here with you.
I won't let the dragon have you.
I won't leave you alone.
No.
I don't wanna go.
I'm happy here.
I'm not going with you!
I'm staying here!
I'm going to be Yuu's bride!
I...
I'm a human girl!
Nonsense.
Then I'll see to it that you can't live as a human anymore.
Stop!
No!
Tear!
That was Leviathan's...
Hand her over.
You can't win against the Basilisk.
I refuse.
We're going to protect Tear, no matter what.
Do you think you can?
Everything will return to dust.
No one will survive.
And you will regret that you didn't hand Tear over to us.
"Us"?
I made the Hecatoncheir wait,
but it looks like it's grown tired of waiting.
Prepare yourself.
The Hecatoncheir isn't as nice as I am.
Mitsuki-chan...
Now, what will you do?
I finally understand.
I'm not a dragon. I'm a human girl.
I want to live like Yuu, Lisa, Mitsuki, Iris, and everyone else!
So I'll fight alongside them!
If we can't defeat the Blue Hecatoncheir, we'll just blow it away!
Go!
Next on Unlimited Fafnir:
Scarlet Innocent.
Yuu.
Once we defeat that dragon, let's get married!

Twenty-five years ago,
massive creatures called dragons emerged into the world without warning.
Why is there a man here?
The first male student since the Academy was founded.
Mononobe Yuu.
It's been three years...
Brother.
Reunion acknowledged.
What I seek is annihilation of all the other dragons.
I'm a dragon!
You're a cute human girl.
Now, throw away all that is false.
Become the real you.
Lisa!
Lisa!
Let go of Tear.
Kili Surt Muspelheim.
I'm not going with you!
I'm staying here!
Besides, I'm going to be Yuu's bride!
I'm a human girl!
Mitsuki-chan...
Now, what will you do?
Kili!
What on earth are you?
I'm a dragon.
So you don't intend to answer?
I'm not avoiding your question or anything.
But if you don't mind,
maybe you can decide for me.
Let's meet again.
Do your best.
Please respond, Shinomiya-sensei!
Headmaster!
Please respond!
Shinomiya-sensei.
Mononobe.
Tear-chan.
Lisa's not responding, either.
Mitsuki.
Can you hear me, Mitsuki?!
Brother.
Mononobe!
Good thing it's slow-moving.
Mitsuki, give us instructions!
Lend us your anti-Dragon equipment.
We're going to force the Hecatoncheir out of the academy.
How?
Neither heat nor lasers work.
Wind.
Wind?
We'll generate as much wind as we can
and smash it against the Hecatoncheir.
Once we push it out into the water,
we should be able to execute a large-scale attack.
Sounds like it's worth a try.
All right.
Let's do it.
I'll meet up with you once I take Tear to safety.
Tear?
I'm...
I'm going to fight too!
Y-You can't, Tear-chan!
It might be after you.
You have to hide.
No.
I'm not running away again.
I'm going to fight with all of you.
Tear.
What if you go berserk, like you did during training?
It'll be fine.
I'm not a dragon anymore.
All right.
Let's fight together.
Thanks.
Is that all right,
Mitsuki?
I understand.
Mitsuki-chan.
The desire to protect is often a great power.
Isn't that right, Brother?
Yeah.
It appears the Hecatoncheir has found Tear-san.
Let's match our timing and maximize our air conversions.
Aim for the abdomen, where its center of gravity is.
Countdown.
Five, four, three...
Fire!
First Arrow, Folk Wind!
Aero Blast Quartet!
Generate Windstorm!
Take this!
Gale, burst!
It fell over!
It's too heavy.
Move to Formation B!
My power.
My greatest power.
My greatest...
Go!
It's no good.
We have to push it further away.
Noin. Confirming request.
Yggdrasil.
All powers transferred at the time of Fear and Leviathan's defeat.
Activation request: Code Fear.
Activation request: Anti-gravity.
Anti-gravity!
That's a repulsion field!
Now! Once more!
Everyone, prepare to attack!
Fire in fifteen counts.
Fifteen, fourteen...
Lend me your strength.
We're going to blow it away.
Okay.
I'm your wife.
I'm going to work hard with my husband.
Seeking annihilation.
The information you possess on the Marduk is incomplete.
Recommending additional download.
The price is your memory.
I don't need it.
Three years ago,
I fought off the Hecatoncheir
when the Marduk was even more incomplete.
Besides...
I don't want to lose any more...
of my precious memories and feelings!
...two, one!
Fire!
Gale!
Special artillery Megiddo!
Fire!
No signs of regeneration.
We've defeated it!
We did it.
Tear-chan, we won!
Yeah.
Yeah!
We did it, Tear-chan!
We did it!
We did it!
Brother.
Yeah.
I'm fine.
I haven't changed.
Damn, that was seriously rough.
My... My room!
My precious collections!
You won't get away with this, you blue bastard!
You're really getting it if you regenerate again!
I'll grab you like this, then do this, and...
That's why I was against you building your room so high up.
You know what they say about fools and smoke loving high places.
You could learn a little from Shinomiya.
It's safe now, everyone.
Okay.
Lisa.
Tear-san.
Lisa!
Thank goodness!
Lisa...
Thank you.
Sorry.
I want to pat your head...
but I can't.
No. No.
You protected me.
Thank you, Lisa.
Really, though, you made a huge mess.
We fought with the Hecatoncheir and Kili.
We should be glad that it wasn't worse.
And there's still the Basilisk.
We'll have to think about our future plans.
Mononobe Mitsuki, you must be troubled by the loss of your room.
You can stay in the lodging house for the time being.
Yes, Shinomiya-sensei.
The roof and bed are both burned up.
What are you going to do, Mononobe?
I wonder.
If it's okay with you...
H-How about my room?
We can get married if you need a room.
Wait a second.
'Cause you can live in my room once we're married.
Again, why are we getting married all of a sudden?
It's not sudden.
I've always said I'm going to be your wife.
Don't you want to?
It's not about whether I want to or not.
I told you before.
According to human rules, we aren't old enough to get married.
Th-That's right, Tear-chan.
Then let's get engaged for now.
Now we're engaged!
That's not fair, Tear-chan!
I can do that too.
Nope.
We already kissed, so we're engaged.
Just on the cheek, because it's an engagement.
And then when we get married,
I'll kiss him on the lips.
I-I've kissed him already!
You're lying.
Mitsuki.
You'll be in the room next to mine in the common lodging house.
R-Right.
Why are you making so much noise in the classroom?
Keeping your volume down is a basic rule in any school.
Sorry, Mitsuki-chan.
Sorry.
Brother is most at fault.
Why are you so angry?
I'm in the middle of writing a report on what happened.
Please don't talk to me.
So you are angry.
I need to talk to you.
S-Sure.
First, about the Hecatoncheir.
Why did it show up all of a sudden?
It appeared in Midgar moments after vanishing from Siberia,
where we have been containing it.
Does that mean it warped here?
I don't know.
There haven't been any reports of an ability like that until now.
More importantly,
what was that Leviathan-like power
that canceled out gravity for a moment?
Well, I just kinda thought I'd give it a try,
and it worked.
We can't have you "just trying" something like that.
Don't you think you're keeping too many secrets?
Our house is over there.
That town is a place where we can be a family!
I won't give up.
I won't yield to a monster that took everyone precious to me!
I won't let myself get taken away too!
I wanted power.
Seeking annihilation.
The price is your memory.
You insist on keeping your secrets, then.
No, like I said—
Then...
Please answer my next question.
Brother...
is it true that you kissed Iris-san?
Th-That was thanks for when we fought against the Leviathan.
So you really did.
Yes.
I see.
Please be sincere about your action.
Otherwise, I'll deem it an act of indecency.
Right.
Got it.
But...
I have to apologize too.
To you and Iris-san.
Why?
Why?
Because...
I'm sure it was the first time for Iris-san.
B-But your first was...
with me.
I don't remember.
I-It's the same as with Tear-san.
It was something we did as kids.
The kiss, the promise...
Pretend none of it ever happened.
I would appreciate it.
Mitsuki...
Don't say the memories we shared never happened.
Not even as a joke.
You're always kind, aren't you, Brother?
But I can't be so nice to myself.
I'm going to continue fighting the dragons...
to atone for my sins.
I don't need my childhood wishes...
to come true.
Brother...
If you can only forgive yourself by fighting,
then I'll end that battle.
Listen, Mitsuki.
I'll never give up on your happiness.
Seriously.
You're so...
stubborn, Brother.
We did it!
We defeated the Hecatoncheir,
but now the Basilisk is attacking?
We have no choice, then.
Let's go defeat it.
I'm excited about going by boat.
What? Mitsuki and Lisa are fighting?
I don't think I can do anything about that.
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Invasion of the Basilisk.
Mononobe-kun, if it's really bothering you, you should ask Firill.

Mitsuki.
Mitsuki.
Hm?
What are you doing?
You'll get in trouble with my sister for spacing out like that.
Let's be strong, Mitsuki.
To protect Midgar... To protect our home.
It's calling me.
Wait, Miyako!
No!
Don't go!
Bye-bye.
Miyako!
Lisa, how many sugar cubes do you want?
I suppose I'll have one.
Okay.
How about you, Yuu?
No, I'm good.
You drink it black, don't you?
Morning, Iris.
No!
I read in a book that you should have
something sweet before you study.
Really? Here, then.
Hey! I was going to do it!
Now he can study really well today.
Here, my fiancé.
You know you can overburden a person by pampering them too much.
Okay.
Sorry.
You were a great help to me, though.
Thank you, Tear-san.
Sure!
You're a good woman, Lisa.
What's that supposed to mean?
You're not getting away with sexual harassment.
No, I just mean I can respect you.
Of course, you're pretty as well.
Nice.
Mononobe, what about me?
What about me, Yuu?
Calm down, you two.
We have a report from NIFL.
The Basilisk that was moving out from the Sahara Desert
began crossing the ocean last night.
The ocean's frozen?
It's salt.
Salt?
The Basilisk shoots red rays from its eyes.
It's been determined that any target it hits...
is turned into stone, ash, or salt.
And it's headed straight for...
It's after Tear.
One glare, and Midgar is toast.
It'll be much worse than the Hecatoncheir attack.
We'll take a boat to an uninhabited island near here and attract the Basilisk there.
We've determined that the most effective strategy is to destroy the island and the Basilisk along with it.
We're leaving tomorrow, huh?
Are you okay with being on a boat?
I mean, after that Dragon disaster...
Yeah, but I'll be okay.
A lot of fun things happened on our last family vacation too.
It's a very precious memory to me.
I could never hate traveling by boat.
You always exceed my expectations.
I'm not a girl you can measure with common sense.
I want to... know more about you someday, though.
I mean, if you don't want that...
It's okay.
I think I want you to know me, Mononobe.
My pure maidens.
You're leaving me behind?
Nothing could be more lonely.
What a tragedy—
Excuse me! That goes over here!
NIFL is participating in the operation?
They've also come up with a plan to beat the Basilisk.
They're preparing now.
The higher our chances of success, the better.
But is it true, Shinomiya-sensei?
That we have a member from outside the Brynhildr class?
To supplement our forces.
We don't want to push the injured too much.
She scored highest in a selection test.
I'm sure she'll be of help to you.
Honoka...
I'm Tachikawa Honoka.
You just got here, and you scored highest? That's amazing.
No, I still have a lot to learn compared to the rest of you.
I'll work my hardest. I'm honored to join you.
Yeah, glad to have you, Honoka-chan.
You can ask us anything.
Okay.
Wow! I saw a dolphin over there!
Really?
Let's go, Mononobe, Honoka-chan.
What's up with you two?
I feel sick.
So do I.
My head's spinning.
My stomach's churning.
That's what happens when you read or do computer work inside a boat.
Iris and the others are having fun outside.
But I want to read.
I'm almost at the part where they find the culprit.
Give it back.
I'll give it back as soon as you're feeling less seasick.
At this rate, you won't be able to eat,
and then you'll really get sick.
I mean, if you're going to rest, I'll leave you alone.
See you.
So that's the kind of person he is.
That's why I can never forgive you!
Mitsuki... Lisa?
Shh!
I don't need you to forgive me.
What I did doesn't warrant forgiving.
And that's why you're going to take responsibility and shoulder my role in this fight too?
You should mind your own business.
I apologize if I've offended you.
Mitsuki-san, do you still insist
that the guilt for killing Miyako-san, and the need to atone for it, is yours alone?
I won't push the blame for something I've done onto someone else.
I really want to stop them, but...
Your words, if nothing else, are admirable.
It's not something we can interfere with.
But why don't you confront things a little more?
I'm confronting—
You don't even expect me to forgive you.
Don't say things like that so lightly!
We're off to a pretty bad start.
Knowing them,
I'm sure they'll do what they have to do, but...
Two years ago,
Mitsuki killed her best friend, Shinomiya Miyako, who had turned into a Dragon.
And Lisa still...
Hm?
Firill?
Give me back my book.
Your book?
Oh.
Sorry.
I forgot.
Are you feeling better now?
I am.
I ate a lot for dinner too.
See? My belly's full.
Hey!
Wow, so this is enough to make a guy nervous, huh?
A-Are you teasing me?
Now give it back.
I want to know who committed the crime.
I'll tell you, then.
It was—
No!
Don't tell me!
Don't you dare!
I haven't actually read it!
I don't know who did it.
You tricked me.
Mean.
I apologize,
but could you move?
That tickles!
No, stay still.
Why?
I want to write a book myself someday.
For that, I need to know a lot of things.
I'm doing this for research.
Your heart's racing more than before.
W-Well, yeah...
Anyone's heart would race if a cute girl touched them.
Now you're hitting on me.
I'm not hitting on you.
You shouldn't fall for me.
Not unless you're prepared to become a prince.
Huh?
Guys' heart rates go up when cute girls touch them.
But they don't necessarily want to hit on them.
Interesting.
Can we stop now?
I want you to hit on Lisa more.
What?
When have I hit on Lisa?
He's unaware.
Are you done yet?
Yeah. It was pretty interesting.
Could I do some research too, then?
I want to ask about Lisa.
Are you gathering information so you can hit on her?
No, not that.
You've known Lisa for a long time, haven't you?
Yeah.
We're in the same grade.
What do you want to know?
Her measurements?
I'm being serious.
I saw her...
fighting with Mitsuki.
What do you think it'd take for Lisa to forgive Mitsuki?
You want to get them to make up?
I'd like to, if I can.
Maybe I shouldn't be meddling, but...
No, I feel the same way.
What they're doing is unproductive.
Unproductive?
Yeah.
They're making each other suffer for no real reason.
They have a reason, don't they?
It's over Shinomiya Miyako.
No, that's where you're already wrong.
Lisa doesn't resent Mitsuki at all.
She doesn't?
What did you want to talk about?
Oh, I want you to tell me about the three years since you came to Midgar.
But so much has happened, I can't...
Then tell me about the girl who was your best friend.
To be honest, I don't really want to talk about it.
I see.
But...
If you'll do a favor for me, maybe I can try.
Can I hug you?
Brother.
This is really relaxing.
I think I can do it now.
Miyako came to Midgar...
on the day of a strong typhoon.
Are you all right?
Don't mind me. Take care of the others.
They're all exhausted from severe seasickness.
But you'll catch a cold.
Thanks. I'm Shinomiya Miyako.
I was overwhelmed.
She was pretty on the outside too,
but more than that,
she gave off a beautiful aura from within.
She was dazzling.
Haruka-san's sister?
My sister's that famous?
The whole school admires her!
She's perfect in every way.
I aspire to be like her.
She'd be happy to hear that.
Miyako and I hit it off right away.
We became roommates.
Kusanagi.
She excelled at both academics and control over dark matter.
I felt envious of her.
But she would wash away those feelings by just...
I guess you could say... well...
She was really kind to me.
Miyako was always attached to me,
and I loved her too.
But in a way, perhaps that was her one flaw.
She gave me such high priority that she made errors in her judgment.
Like that time.
Emergency alert! Emergency alert!
Alert level A.
Type Purple.
Repeat.
Alert level A.
Type Purple.
Purple Kraken.
It's here.
The Kraken uses antimatter.
No defense would have any effect.
Then what do we do?
It's calling me.
Miyako-san, what are you talking about?
Your Dragon Crest...
Why?
Miyako!
Where are we?
Run.
I'm the one it's after,
but don't worry.
I'll protect you, Mitsuki.
What are you talking about?
Miyako!
No!
Don't go!
Bye-bye.
Miyako!
Two of them?
Miyako...
That's her?
Miyako...
Miyako.
It'll be all right, Mitsuki.
I'm with you.
Draw your bow,
and aim.
You can do it, Mitsuki.
Was that...
...antimatter?
I did that?
Fire, Mononobe Mitsuki!
You should be able to destroy the other one with that attack.
But that's Miyako!
You're the only one who can do it.
This is an order.
It's not by your will.
It's my will.
I'll take full responsibility.
Now, fire.
Fire!
Mitsuki!
If you don't, I'll...
I love you, Mitsuki.
Miyako!
Thank you.
Hey,
have you ever asked Lisa to forgive you?
I never have.
What I did was...
Why don't you consider how Lisa feels too?
It's tiring being angry...
or bitter over something for so long.
Why don't you give Lisa an opportunity to forgive you?
Lisa-san cared about Miyako too.
She has the right to be angry at me.
Don't you want her to forgive you?
That's not it!
Then go ask her tomorrow what it will take for her to forgive you.
This is an order, as your brother.
What the heck?
You really don't want to?
I will.
I don't want you to think I'm running away.
That's my poor loser of a sister.
Jeez.
Say what you will.
Mononobe Yuu!
You said something to Mitsuki-san, didn't you?
Um...
I knew it!
Otherwise, there's no way she would've asked what it would take for me to forgive her.
I just told her to consider how you feel too.
You don't really resent Mitsuki, do you?
It was Firill-san, wasn't it?
She's meddling too?
If it will lessen Mitsuki-san's guilt,
I'll continue to be her punishment.
You really are a good woman.
Still, it's been two years.
I think that's long enough.
But—
Mitsuki's already decided how to confront her guilt.
So I want you to think about how you'll forgive her.
She'll meet any condition you ask.
You're very partial toward your sister, aren't you?
Fine, then. I'll think of an impossibly difficult condition.
It'll be your fault if she can't handle it.
Maybe I went too far.
That's the volcanic island.
That felt awful,
but we made it to the volcanic island.
There's a lot we need to do here.
Is this the island map?
Huh, there's a hot spring.
Oh, first, I have to do that.
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Front Line in Distant Waters.
Mononobe-kun, this moment is yours.
Look forward to it.

Major General Dylan.
Major Loki.
I hear that the Mistilteinn is complete.
It was a great sacrifice.
The number of lives that were lost...
in order to retrieve data on how to defeat it...
But now,
we can mark their names in history.
This Mistilteinn...
will defeat the Basilisk.
There's so much smoke.
It's higher than I thought.
Tear?
So we're finally fighting the Basilisk,
aren't we?
Don't be so nervous.
We're still quite far from the Basilisk.
The battle will probably begin in three days.
Three days...
Tachikawa Honoka.
Yes?
Honoka?
It's so cute.
Did you make these, Honoka?
Yes, I received data about this volcanic island from Shinomiya-sensei.
Elevation: 1,560 meters.
Still a very active volcano, I see.
I want to go to this caramel lake.
Caldera lake.
There are hot springs too.
I've never been to a hot spring before.
Okay, let's all go, then.
The eggs they make at hot springs are delicious.
Okay.
Hot spring eggs...
I see. Hot springs, huh?
You're all back to your usual selves.
Right now, I want you to get plenty of rest and prepare for the battle.
Right!
Honoka.
Hm?
Thanks.
It's nothing.
I like making this sort of thing.
You know, Tear...
She has a lot of painful memories,
yet she's smiling happily.
Thanks.
It's nothing.
All right, let's go!
I want to go to the hot springs, but...
Mononobe-kun.
What did you need?
I wanted to thank you.
Thank me?
About Lisa and Mitsuki.
You said something to them, right?
Oh, yeah, but nothing's resolved yet.
But they're making progress now.
So...
To thank you.
A one-day hot spring ticket?
Effective today only?
Yeah.
You want to go, don't you, Mononobe-kun?
Sure I do.
But I'm the only guy.
It might cause trouble if I ran into anyone.
That's why it's a one-day ticket.
Is the whole place reserved for me?
Yeah.
The hot spring is all yours today.
Have fun.
Thanks.
I really have to thank Firill.
I'm first!
Come on, everyone!
We're coming.
Are you okay, Lisa?
Yes, it's almost healed.
I'll be all better by the time we start the mission.
It's said that hot springs are good for healing wounds too, so...
You don't have to tell me that. I know.
I said I'm fine alone.
Are you sure?
I'm not okay!
If they catch me, a repentance essay won't cover it!
Listen, a slow decision will lead to death.
I can believe you now!
I'm second!
Ariella-san, that's bad manners.
Come on, don't be such a stiff.
There's no one else here.
Yes, there is! Right here!
It's so big here! Let's swim!
Third.
I'm a grown-up,
so I'm going to get in properly.
I'm going to insist I'm still a child and jump in.
It's a little hot.
It has to be, or it wouldn't set the mood.
E-Excuse me.
No, no, you have to take that off.
B-But...
I didn't want to at first, either,
but it's fun once you get used to it.
What do they call it? A completely open relationship?
Yes.
W-Well, then...
See? It's fine.
Yes.
Actually, my glasses are so foggy that I really can't see anything,
so I don't feel too embarrassed.
I wanted Yuu to come as well.
If Mononobe-kun were here, we'd all be together, huh?
We are all here!
And damn it, Firill!
Wow, you have big ones, Lisa-chan!
They're floating in the water.
S-Stop touching them!
They're kind of different from mine.
They're more soft and marshmallowy than bouncy.
I-If you don't stop that...
I'll retaliate!
Take this!
What is it, Tear-chan?
I'll let this go for today,
but I'm never going to lose to you!
It's a competition?
Let's see who can hold her breath longer, then!
I won't lose!
Iris-san, I'm not done retaliating yet!
Mitsuki-chan, help!
Are you having fun, Mononobe-kun?
Yeah, it looks like you guys are.
Wait, Firill?!
Nice delayed reaction.
Wasn't it supposed to be reserved for me today?
Yeah.
It's the time I prepared for you.
Do Iris and the others know I'm here?
No.
They don't know.
I hid your clothes in the changing room under mine, so don't worry.
Now you can look at naked girls in total secrecy.
Are you happy?
Wh-Why would I be?
Then I need to do something to make you happy.
What should I do?
W-Wait!
Did you hear Mononobe's voice?
Brother's?
Shoot!
A summons?
Was it...
Was it really that unwelcome?
No, well...
I mean, it spooked me, but...
If I had to say one way or the other, it was fun.
I'm glad.
Yes.
I see.
Understood.
Everyone,
the operation that NIFL has been planning independently...
is being carried out tomorrow.
NIFL's?
Long time no see, Colonel Shinomiya.
Yes, Major General Dylan.
Your work defeating the Kraken and Leviathan,
and warding off the Hechatoncheir, was impressive indeed.
Thank you.
But we want you to let us handle this one.
We have a weapon that can defeat the Basilisk.
A weapon that can defeat the Basilisk?
As you know, the Basilisk uses the red beam from its eyes...
to turn its targets into rock, mist, and salt.
NIFL has conducted further research...
and has determined that the red beam phenomenon is, in fact, weathering.
What's weathering?
You know how even steel and concrete will rust or break down...
if they're exposed to rain, wind, or sunlight for a long time?
Weathering is a passage of time.
In other words, the Basilisk's attack blows away time.
Blows away time?
Having analyzed petrified material,
we've observed the passage of several tens of thousands of years.
Tens of thousands?!
Just one second of exposure amounts to roughly two thousand years of lost time.
You wouldn't even have time to become a grandma if you got hit!
For living organisms,
it's the most dreadful weapon imaginable.
We've decided to call this a "Catastrophe."
Catastrophe.
Major General Dylan,
what is this weapon that you say can oppose it?
Time affects everything without exception.
But there are some materials that are resistant to aging.
Resistant materials?
The strongest alloy on earth: Mithril.
Mithril...
We've constructed a bomb with a protective shell of mithril hardened to critical mass.
With it, we can defeat the Basilisk.
No, we must defeat the Basilisk.
Especially for our comrades who were lost for the sake of collecting this data.
Ren, what's wrong?
Ren's afraid of adult men.
Oh, but she's fine with you, Mononobe-kun.
She even said you're like an older brother.
Your subordinates are rather easygoing, aren't they?
I apologize.
We have so many problem children.
Then, behold the power of the large-scale anti-Basilisk weapon developed here at NIFL...
The Mistilteinn!
The operation begins in twelve hours.
Tear, are you scared?
Yeah.
I started shaking when I heard about the Basilisk.
Well, it was pretty crazy.
Blowing away time...
What if it gets you?
Does it turn you into bone?
I only hope it would leave the bones.
No.
I don't want you and the others to die.
Don't worry.
We don't want to die, either.
We'll fight so we don't turn into bone.
That's why we're all thinking of strategies.
I wish there was something I could do.
You're filling your role perfectly just by being here.
But...
Oh, yeah.
It'd help if you'd cheer for us, then.
I think that alone will bring our chances of success up really high.
Really?
Yeah.
Cheer for us, and we'll be motivated.
When we're motivated, we can do better than usual.
That's how it works.
Okay.
I'll cheer for everyone.
The operation will begin shortly.
It's finally time.
I've been informed that you'll be shooting it straight down.
The Basilisk's attack range is roughly 5,000 meters.
We'll be dropping it from an altitude of 8,000 meters.
By our calculations, that's far enough away to withstand the red beam.
All we need to do is to drop it straight onto the Basilisk.
What are the chances that it'll evade?
According to our observations so far, whenever the Basilisk detects an object heading towards it,
it stops moving to retaliate.
And according to our calculations,
it won't be fast enough to run from the Mistilteinn.
Mister!
You're the one with the color-changed Dragon Crest, aren't you?
Thank you for protecting me, Mister.
I'm cheering for you.
Good luck!
We've arrived above the target.
Drop the Mistilteinn!
Dropping.
Altitude: 6,000.
Entering Catastrophe range momentarily.
Altitude: 2,000.
Mistilteinn in good condition.
On course for impact with target.
Impact in five seconds.
Mistilteinn's signal lost.
What happened?
Mister!
Major General Dylan, what was that?
Major General Dylan! Major General Dylan!
Mistilteinn annihilated.
A new exit wound has been confirmed.
It's possible that a third eye, not in our prior data, has emerged.
What?
Transport vessel, respond.
This is mission command. This is mission command.
Major General Dylan...
Respond immediately.
Tear-san?
Her Dragon Crest...
It's hot.
It's calling me.
Tear-san!
Mononobe...
I haven't had hot spring eggs yet.
But I guess it's not the time for that.
Hm?
I'm Ren Miyazawa.
I can talk normally.
It's our turn next.
We're up against the Basilisk.
We'll attack in pairs.
Dark matter is the fragments of souls.
I hope I can manipulate them well.
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Red Catastrophe.

We've constructed a bomb with a protective shell hardened with Mithril to critical mass.
With it, we can defeat the Basilisk.
Mistilteinn's signal lost.
Mistilteinn annihilated.
Tear-san!
A new exit wound has been confirmed!
Tear?
Tear!
Tear-san!
Tear-chan!
It's hot.
It's calling me.
Tear!
Tear-chan.
Shinomiya-sensei.
To the medical office, quickly.
Right.
A third eye?
Yes. I'll send an image, along with other data.
After all the sacrifices made, this is how it ends.
No, that's not true.
The Basilisk must have opened its third eye...
because it was desperate.
That means nothing if it can't be defeated.
How is the girl with the color-changed Dragon Crest?
She's resting...
in the medical office.
You're not going to tell me to give her to NIFL, are you?
Brother.
Tell her I'm sorry we couldn't live up to her words of encouragement.
Major General Dylan.
I wish you all luck.
Are you sure about this?
Shouldn't we dispose of the girl with the color-changed Dragon Crest?
We at NIFL were the ones who captured her to begin with.
According to NIFL's latest data,
the third eye has a firing range of approximately ten kilometers, twice that of its other eyes.
They've determined that within seconds of exposure, several hundred million years are lost.
Several hundred million?
A normal Catastrophe takes 2,000 years in a second.
That wouldn't leave any bones,
let alone time to grow old.
That's not a problem.
2,000 years and several hundred million years...
are not much different to us.
Exactly.
It doesn't change our strategy.
We'll attack its diamond scales from a blind spot out of its attack range,
so quickly that it has no time to respond.
The Basilisk is currently 150 kilometers away from the island.
We'll begin attacking it when it's six kilometers away.
Six kilometers?
Won't it spot us if we don't start sooner?
We'll be on the other side of the mountain,
so it won't see us.
And as you know, the Earth is round.
After a certain distance,
anything on the surface is hidden below the horizon.
It becomes invisible, Iris Freya.
A person standing on the coast could be spotted at five kilometers, at best.
A person standing on the coast could be spotted at five kilometers, at best.
Given the Basilisk's size, they would be visible at around ten kilometers.
Given the Basilisk's size, they would be visible at around ten kilometers.
Given the Basilisk's size, they would be visible at around ten kilometers.
I thought it'd be more.
We'll be using two obstacles for this operation:
the volcanic island and the horizon.
You guys will be on standby on the other side of the island.
The commanding vessel will take Tear Lightning northward,
along the horizon line.
And the Basilisk will react to this ship carrying Tear-san, of course.
Yes.
As soon as its attention is diverted from the island,
you will all attack from the other side.
You'll fire at it through the island.
Through the island?
This operation will require a massive amount of dark matter.
Therefore, you will attack in pairs.
The pairs will be as follows:
Mononobe Mitsuki, Ariella Lu.
Yes.
I just send you my dark matter, right?
Got it.
Thank you, Ariella-san.
Lisa Highwalker, Ren Miyazawa.
Yes.
Okay.
But, Lisa, what about your injury?
I promised Tear-san that I'd be better by the time we start the operation.
I'm so glad, Lisa-chan.
That's impressive.
It doesn't make me happy to have you complimenting me.
This is a promise I made to Tear-san.
Right.
Next.
Firill Crest, Tachikawa Honoka.
I'll do my best.
Yes.
You've never been in actual combat, have you?
Stay calm and carry out the operation.
Okay.
Mononobe Yuu, you'll attack with anti-Dragon armaments.
Iris Freya, you'll assist with dark matter.
Right.
I do what I did in the fight against the Leviathan, right?
I'll do my best.
Yeah.
I'm counting on you.
Don't let your guard down until the Basilisk draws its last breath.
We can't discount the possibility,
as NIFL did, that it has abilities we don't fully understand.
NIFL failed, but we have the incalculable power of the D.
We'll end this before the Basilisk uses its red beam: the Catastrophe.
Are we clear?
Yes.
Anti-gravity.
Leviathan's power...
Anti-gravity.
You aren't the first to recreate a Dragon's ability.
There was another who defeated a Kraken and gained antimatter abilities.
Indeed, it was your sister, Mononobe Mitsuki.
Mitsuki...
So your ability to make anti-gravity particles
was likely triggered by the battle with the Leviathan.
Do you have a way to know that for sure?
For sure, huh?
It's an educated guess.
Don't make that face.
You can take comfort knowing it's happened before.
There's no need to fear that you're different.
Right.
Besides, I might be able to use this ability to help my friends.
That's the spirit.
Then go work hard.
Right.
In fact, couldn't it be said that all Ds have stolen the Dragons' abilities?
From the Dragons' perspective,
humans are terrifying pillagers who have stolen their privileges,
one after another.
Perhaps.
Pillagers...
No need to hesitate.
Take from the Basilisk too.
You aren't prey. You are predators.
I hope it's that easy.
Seigin, burst!
Burst! Burst!
Yay! I hit them!
Iris?
Mononobe, did you see that?
You hit them accurately from so far.
That's impressive.
I'm assisting you this time,
but it might be useful in some way, right?
I decided I'm going to do everything I can, the best I can.
Remember what I told you before?
That you always surpass my expectations.
You mean back then?
You know, when you said you wanted to...
I want to... know more about you someday, though.
I think I want you to know me, Mononobe.
I guess.
Just in case worst comes to worst,
can I ask you something?
Ask me what?
Iris,
are you sure it was okay to thank me the way you did?
Thank you?
You know, when the Leviathan came.
After that, on the beach...
Oh... y-yeah.
I used to kiss my family to greet them,
but that was on the cheek.
You're the first one I kissed on the...
lips.
Are you sure you wanted to give your first to me?
With you,
even my second...
Iris...
I—
N-No!
Don't say it now!
Wh-What was that for?
If you say something that'll make me sad,
I'll get really depressed.
I won't be able to do my job when I need to.
No, but...
Not even if it's something happy. Not now.
We both have to focus, for Tear-chan's sake.
All right, Iris.
Tear-san.
Tear.
Yuu...
Lisa...
We won't let the Dragon have you.
I know it's painful, but hang in there a little longer.
I'm going to wait for my husband.
That's a woman's strength.
Please do that, Tear.
I promise we'll defeat the Basilisk and be back.
It's time.
We're counting on you all.
Right.
Yuu.
Good luck.
Yeah.
Basilisk at fifteen kilometers.
Begin the operation!
Basilisk changing course towards east-northeast.
It's coming after us.
Brionac.
Come, Necronomicon.
Gungnir.
Let's go, Iris.
Okay.
Offering: Strength.
Requesting: Destruction.
Anti-Dragon armament, Marduke!
Primary cannon, Babel!
Basilisk approaching six kilometers.
Ariella-san, please.
Leave it to me.
Please.
Right!
Wow.
There's so much coming in.
Let's pierce it.
Now, Iris.
Okay.
Basilisk at six kilometers.
Begin countdown.
Nine, eight, seven, six, five...
Tear-san, I'll end your suffering now.
...four, three, two, one.
Fire!
Fire!
The Basilisk is intercepting with its third eye!
What?!
What?
No!
It can't be!
I remember the day I first stood in front of all of you.
I didn't fit in with the rest of the class.
It was you, Yuu-san, who called out gently to me.
Everyone, it was only for a short while, but thank you.
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Mistilteinn Falls.
Yuu-san, we'll meet again somewhere, won't we?

I want to... know more about you someday, though.
It's okay.
I think I want you to know me, Mononobe.
Mitsuki-san, do you insist that the guilt of having killed Miyako-san,
and the need to atone for it, is yours alone?
I'm confronting—
You don't even expect me to forgive you.
Don't say things like that so lightly.
I wish there was something I could do.
It'd help if you'd cheer for us, then.
I think that alone will bring our chances of success up really high.
Okay.
I'll cheer for everyone.
We won't let the Dragon have you.
Four,
three,
two,
one.
Fire!
What?!
No!
Yuu-san!
All units, retreat immediately!
Keep your altitude as low as possible!
The operation team has returned!
Increase speed.
Leave the combat area!
Tear-chan...
I'm sorry.
I couldn't help you.
We couldn't do anything but run.
We lost.
Mitsuki?
Mononobe Yuu.
Good work out there.
It's thanks to you that everyone got back safely.
No, it's thanks to Honoka. She used her powers to make the ground collapse.
Otherwise, we'd all be...
But there's no time to celebrate making it back alive.
Now that our operation has failed,
NIFL won't stay quiet.
I knew you'd be here.
Brother.
Don't let it get to you.
The Basilisk had better perception capabilities than we expected.
If you and Honoka-san hadn't been there, we would have all died.
I couldn't protect anything, again.
Blaming yourself for everything like that,
is one of your bad habits.
Keep that up,
and you won't even last long enough to fight the Basilisk.
You're still...
I'm not giving up.
You made a promise with Lisa, too, didn't you?
Mitsuki's already decided how to confront her guilt.
So I want you to think about how you'll forgive her.
You're very partial toward your sister, aren't you?
Fine, then. I'll think of an impossibly difficult condition.
Has Lisa said anything?
No, nothing yet.
I see.
Listen, Mitsuki.
I don't want you taking all the responsibility upon yourself...
or breaking your promise with Lisa.
So don't give up.
Brother...
We have to do what we can to the best of our abilities.
Yes.
Altitude: 2,000.
Mistilteinn in good condition.
On course for impact with target.
Impact in five seconds.
I hate to admit it, but NIFL did better than we did.
We used the horizon and the island as walls,
and we took the Basilisk's line of sight into consideration.
Our plan should've been perfect.
How did it detect us?
Stop.
It didn't use its third eye when it pursued us.
It could've reached us if it had used its third eye.
Shinomiya-sensei.
What is it?
I'd like to talk to Loki Jotunheim of NIFL.
Of NIFL?
Hey, Lieutenant Mononobe.
I was just about to contact you.
Regarding the girl with the color-changed Dragon Crest.
I don't intend to kill Tear.
I heard that your operation failed.
Are you suggesting that you have another plan?
Yes.
Could you possibly convince them to hand over a Mistilteinn, Major Loki?
A Mistilteinn?
I doubt it's been mass-produced,
but there must still be a prototype.
It didn't work against the Basilisk, did it?
Why would you want such a thing?
I don't believe the Mistilteinn's design is conceptually flawed.
If we use it, there's a chance we can defeat the Basilisk.
You seem pretty confident.
I'll do what I can.
But there won't be a next time.
Keep that in mind, Lieutenant Mononobe.
There's something you want to protect that desperately, huh?
That Fafnir...
It's me.
Connect me to Major General Dylan.
I believe NIFL's strategic direction...
was the most effective choice against the Basilisk.
What the Mistilteinn didn't have
was an adequate amount of mithril armor.
That means,
if we Ds can make up for that with matter conversions...
We could use it to defeat the Basilisk, right?
Yes.
That may be true in theory,
but the third eye disintegrates even mithril in an instant.
NIFL gave up, in fact, because they determined
that no amount of mithril would suffice, right?
That's true if it keeps firing the Catastrophe.
What do you mean?
The Basilisk, until now,
has fired the Catastrophe from its third eye twice.
It had a discharge time of roughly five seconds both times.
Additionally, it could have fired in quick succession
when it was fighting us, but it didn't.
It's natural to assume that it's because there's a risk.
There's a limit to how much dark matter we can produce at any moment.
The same might be true of the Basilisk as well.
I wonder if it discharges everything it has.
It was definitely overkill for the Mistilteinn.
Maybe it gets emptied in five seconds.
So it's defenseless right after it attacks?
Maybe we can defeat it really easily at that moment.
That would make things simple.
We should assume that it will continue attacking as usual with its other two eyes.
Then what can we do?
That's where we use the Mistilteinn.
It's designed to be able to withstand the main Catastrophe attack.
I get it!
So with enough added mithril to defend it for five seconds from an attack by the third eye...
In theory, it would reach the Basilisk.
Yeah.
I believe it's worth considering.
I agree.
Let's come up with a new strategy based on this idea.
All right, let's do it.
Yeah.
We're just getting started.
Yuu-san.
Can I talk to you?
Sure.
Do you...
really believe this strategy will work?
Can we really defeat the Basilisk?
If we fail this time, Tear-san won't...
We have to do what we can.
The Basilisk might detect our attack again.
The Mistilteinn's descent can be controlled.
We'll have to work out the details of the plan,
but if we can complement it with the Ds' help...
Are you against it?
I think the Basilisk can react so fast...
because it has another, different ability.
Different?
The Catastrophe blows away time.
The Basilisk may be able to see what's at the end of that time.
The end of that time?
Mononobe!
Iris.
Come quick, Mononobe.
It's Mitsuki-chan and Lisa-chan!
Yuu...
I'll ask again.
Do you really mean what you're saying?
Of course.
I'll descend along with the Mistilteinn.
Mitsuki...
The warhead will be too large in our next operation.
The descent controls won't work.
So someone has to descend with the Mistilteinn in order to adjust its trajectory.
And I'm asking
why you must take on that role yourself!
As with the previous operation,
the Basilisk's abilities may exceed our expectations.
I can't hand over such a dangerous task to anyone else.
Mitsuki-san!
Please take care of Tear-san if worst comes to worst.
If worst comes to worst?
Do you really think that's acceptable?
Why do you always—
I don't need your approval.
This is my decision as Captain.
Mitsuki-chan...
Wait.
Firill-san.
If someone has to do it,
I will.
No. This is something I have to do.
No, if we're to consider the worst case scenario,
then I'm best suited to do it.
You're the captain, so you have to remain, Mitsuki.
Then it could be me too, right?
Yeah.
Me too.
You can't even fly, Iris-san.
That's true, but...
I can't let anyone go by themselves.
I also volunteer.
Brother!
I know, Mitsuki-san.
I've decided.
I've chosen the condition it will take for me to forgive you.
I demand that you include all volunteers, including me,
in a perfect strategy of your devising that can respond to any unforeseen circumstance.
And bring everyone back safely.
Everyone?
If you can do that,
I'll forgive you.
It's not going so well.
I can't believe you'd also oppose me.
What did you expect?
I'm going with you, even if I have to claw my way there.
I'm not leaving you alone.
You've always been so...
Stubborn.
You made that promise to me...
when we were kids too.
That you'd never leave me alone.
Y-Yeah.
When did that happen?
You have to work hard as well.
You want Lisa to forgive you, don't you?
Okay.
I'll come up with a new strategy.
Hey!
Hang in there!
Mononobe-san...
What happened?
Where's Tear?
It couldn't be.
Honoka!
What are you doing?
So long as this girl is here,
you and the others are the Basilisk's targets.
We must minimize the loss of Ds.
I could have taken her anytime I wanted to.
But it seems we've reached our limit.
Your plan is a dead end too.
Honoka!
I think Tear would be happier becoming a Dragon...
than becoming a corpse.
Bring her back to the sick bay.
You...
I figured the easiest way to find Tear,
after she was taken by NIFL, would be to disguise myself as someone else
and be sent to Midgar.
With biological conversion,
I can change my form as much as I like.
Honoka?
Honoka.
I liked that name quite a bit.
But I think I'd like you to call me by my real name.
Kili!
I'm glad to see you again...
Yuu.
Honoka... No, Kili.
You've been deceiving us all along.
I won't let you have Tear.
I won't let her become the Basilisk's mate.
What about you, Kili?
Do you want to live as a Dragon, or...
Next time on Unlimited Fafnir:
Unlimited Fafnir.
Iris, Mitsuki, Tear, Lisa, Firill, Ariella, Ren...
We'll decide our future with our own hands!

I'm glad to see you again, Yuu.
A heartwarming reunion.
Or maybe not?
You've been deceiving us this whole time...
It really wasn't so bad.
It was always lively.
I'm a little disappointed that I have to go back to being alone.
I won't let you have Tear.
I won't let her become the Basilisk's mate!
Nitro Bullet!
You people seem to think that the only two options are...
either to defeat the Basilisk or to let Tear die.
But maybe she has a future living as a Dragon.
To hell with that.
Would she be better off dead than being a Dragon?
Really?
Is there anything worse than being dead?
There might not be.
But it's up to us to decide what's important.
And Tear has chosen to be a human.
I won't give her to the likes of you.
Fine.
I'll stop if you can kill me.
Anti-explosive armor Urk 73E!
Laevateinn!
D or not,
if they're human, you won't lose.
My Fafnir.
What's the matter?
Kill me.
Tear chose to live as a human.
What do you want to do?
Like I said, I'm a Dragon.
But you also told me to choose for you.
I think of you as a human.
Why?
Because I thought I could kill you.
I see.
You've decided that I'm a human.
Kili.
I'll let you have Tear back.
But the Basilisk is formidable.
I think it sees the future.
The future?
Show me that you're a lot better than the Basilisk.
Tear-san!
She's fine.
Get her to the sick bay, quickly.
Honoka-chan was...
The Basilisk sees the future?
Honoka-san... I mean, Kili really said that?
Yeah.
Then the incredible precognitive ability it used against NIFL
and at the island makes sense.
Yeah.
Why, Honoka-chan?
We were together all this time.
Even at the hot springs.
Was it all a lie?
Iris...
I'll be going over the plan one more time.
The Mistilteinn drop height will be 15,000 meters.
We'll move to the drop site on a large carrier provided by NIFL.
Firill-san and I will be in charge of controlling the Mistilteinn's drop.
It will be difficult to control its trajectory
once it's taken the Catastrophe attack.
We'll have to maintain position
I could get hooked on this!
above the Basilisk at all times using sensor data.
Yeah, I can do it.
I'm good with elaborate controls.
In anticipation of the Basilisk taking evasive action,
we will control its drop until just before impact.
We will retreat five seconds before impact.
But this will make it difficult to escape the explosion.
Therefore, we will ask Ariella-san to deploy multiple physical barriers.
Leave it to me.
Lisa-san and Ren-san, along with Firill-san and I,
will do what we can to deploy an air barrier.
This is sure to hold back the explosion.
And the two of you will be in charge of dealing with irregular circumstances.
Irregular?
In the event that the third eye attack exceeds five seconds.
If the attack exceeds five consecutive seconds,
respond with Plan A.
If it discharges a second time, Plan B.
If it takes evasive action,
please respond with Plan C.
Okay.
That will decide whether we all live or die.
We have the most crucial role.
I understand.
Watch as I complete it perfectly.
Mitsuki-san, I hope your plan will meet my expectations.
Finally, Brother and Iris-san.
What you do will depend largely on the circumstances.
Do you remember all the patterns?
Yeah, I'm all set. Probably.
"Probably" means you're not set at all.
Uh...
It's all right. I'll take the lead.
Okay, Brother,
please take care of your partner, Iris-san.
Just wait.
We'll take out the Basilisk for you, Tear.
The Basilisk has stopped.
Three minutes until drop.
It must have noticed.
All units have completed their descents.
The Basilisk stopped moving.
It seems to have noticed the Mistilteinn.
In three minutes, we'll arrive above the Basilisk and drop.
Understood.
Drop!
Drop initiated.
Igniting altitude control thrusters.
Altitude: 14,000 meters.
No signs of evasive maneuvers from the Basilisk.
Readjusting trajectory.
Passed the 12,000 meter mark.
The Basilisk is changing its posture.
It appears to be preparing to intercept the Mistilteinn.
Approaching altitude 10,000 meters.
It's coming!
An attack from the third eye!
We're separating from the Mistilteinn!
Count five!
Four, three...
Iris!
Two, one, zero.
Just as predicted.
Our calculations were right.
But...
ideally, we would have hoped for the attack to come after 5,000 meters.
Be ready for a second discharge from the third eye.
It might have used it early to buy time to charge up for a second shot.
That could be.
Altitude now below 5,000 meters.
It should be attacking with the standard Catastrophe now.
Altitude: 2,000 meters.
No sign of evasive maneuvers from the Basilisk.
We won't hold out if the third eye attacks again.
Second discharge approaching!
If the Basilisk is acting in response to the future it saw,
that's evidence that actions can change the future.
Then we must change our own futures, as well.
Initiating Plan B!
We will be the second spear.
Let's go, Ren-san!
Too late!
You're not getting away!
There's no future for you!
Anti-gravity!
Aero Blast Quartet!
Mjolnir!
Seigin, burst!
Anti-Dragon armament, Marduke!
Offering: power.
Seeking: destruction.
This time...
This time, I'm going to protect everything!
Megiddo, fire!
Final arrow: Last Quark!
It's gone. There isn't a trace of it left.
I'm told that Tear-san's Dragon Crest has faded,
and she's recovered.
We did it.
And everyone survived.
You've cleared all my conditions.
I'm talking about our promise.
Mononobe Mitsuki-san,
I forgive you.
You do?
But...
Jeez, you're such a pain.
Mitsuki-san,
you've worked hard enough already.
I admire you from the bottom of my heart.
I'm proud to be your friend,
and I love you as my family.
Thank you, Lisa-san.
Mononobe, us too.
Huh?
One, two...
Mononobe Yuu, what are you doing?
Victory should be celebrated with everyone.
Brother.
Yeah.
I was forced into it!
Congratulations on defeating the Basilisk!
All right! We won!
Congrats!
We did it!
I'm told that the Basilisk has been defeated.
Yeah.
You did it, huh?
That's my Fafnir.
You really did it, Yuu.
We'll meet again.
My chaste maidens are coming back!
It's a banquet tonight.
A huge banquet of fun and flirting!
You need to calm down.
Are you going out?
Yeah. What's up?
Brother,
thank you for everything you did...
about Lisa-san.
Nah.
You were the one who acted on it.
Still, I'm grateful.
I know now that it's wrong to give up on something...
just for your own sake.
So...
So...
I've decided not to give up on you, either.
Me?
Our promise as kids.
My feelings back then, when I promised...
that I'd love you more than anyone else, forever.
"Back then"?
The day...
we became siblings.
My feelings will never change.
I just wanted you to know that.
Sorry, I'm late.
Mononobe!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Nah, I wasn't waiting that long.
Your memories?
Yeah.
About when we met too?
I remember.
However...
every time I make a trade with the Yggdrasil,
I lose memories.
If I ever need more strength than I have now,
I'll make another trade.
If that happens,
I might forget about you too.
So...
It's okay.
Tell me about all your precious memories,
the ones you don't want to forget.
I'll remember them, so it'll be all right if you do forget.
You will?
I won't ever forget you as you are now.
I'll always be with you.
Brother, hurry up.
We'll be late.
It's fine.
We'll make it by the opening chime.
That's not good enough.
I'd be setting a bad example as the student council president
if I barely arrived at school in time.
Hey...
Yuu!
Good morning.
Morning, Tear.
Good morning, Tear-san.
Good morning.
Morning.
It's a nice morning.
Good morning.
Good morning, Mononobe Yuu.
You didn't arrive just in the nick of time, for once.
I-I'm sorry!
Good morning, everyone.
You're all here.
Morning, Iris.
Morning, Mononobe.
