Hey, he's back. You know, your stalker.
I seriously doubt you would, but are you dating Kakehashi?
What?
We're not dating.
Besides, me... and Kakehashi...
I can't fall for him.
Right? So you should go say something to him—
I-It's not like that. Um...
He chased off some boys from another school who were bothering me one time, so...
No way. That's a surprise.
So he's appointed himself as your bodyguard, huh?
Yeah, my bodyguard...
But that's even worse.
He's getting a kick out of protecting you when you never even asked him to.
Protecting me... makes him happy?
You mean Saki?
I've been wondering about it for a while.
What made Hanakago lose all hope to live?
I don't know. She wouldn't tell me when I asked.
Then, why'd you make her a candidate?
Because she tried to kill herself.
She walked out into the sea in March, when it was still bitterly cold.
What happened to your head, Uryu?
Oh, I slipped on some stairs.
But it's nothing serious. It's fine.
You look hot in those bandages, though.
Right?
No.
No, no, no.
Hold on a minute. Does this mean...
I'd wish for all ugly girls to disappear, too.
I killed three cute girls, but if I get out of here, then this time, I'd like to kill lots of girls who aren't cute Mimi Yamada
Culprit's Declaration of Criminal Intent
Rumor has it Joso Industries, the company Kanade's family owns, deals in weapons, too.
Getting a flying suit and bombing the Grand Tower would be easy for him.
Is Kanade Metropoliman?
What if he is?
We're not particularly close.
I'm like fish shit to him. Just a hanger-on he takes babe-watching sometimes.
All right!
I'll just act like nothing's changed.
Can you describe what Metropoliman's face looked like?
Well, uh, he looked older than me... by about two or three years, I guess.
He was pale and had striking features.
His face was handsome, and he smiled at me.
He smiled?
That's all I can remember.
I see. Think you could draw him?
What?
Um...
Sorry, but I think that's enough for today.
You're right.
Either way, we're going to have to search for Metropoliman the hard way.
I'll be counting on your help.
Right.
So it's possible he's a high school student, huh?
If we check out the high schools one by one, we might find out something—
You're the most energetic person here, Mr. Mukaido!
Maybe it's because we have a goal, but it feels like I have fewer cancer cells day by day.
Wow!
Kakehashi.
We need to talk.
Tonight...
I want you to sleep in my bed.
Huh?
What?! Wait! Saki, what are you...
What a good idea.
There's something I really want to tell you.
You don't need to sleep in the same bed to talk!
No...
But I don't think I'll be able to tell him unless we do.
Revel and Nasse, I'd like you to go somewhere else till morning.
What?
Okay!
Sharing a bed for the first time is a special occasion for a human male and female.
Come on, let's go.
What? Hey, wait!
You're making me angry.
What is Saki thinking?
Saki's the only one I don't understand either.
What? Seriously?
Not even when she's lying.
Nanato, did you eat yet?
Sorry.
What do you go and do every day?
We promised not to keep secrets from each other.
Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.
You won't know that until you tell me.
Do you love me?
I do.
I love you and our children, too.
I'm currently fighting the forces of evil who seek to destroy the world,
for the sake of the ones I love.
Am I supposed to believe that or is it a joke?
Ideally, I'd like you to believe me with a smile on your face.
Every day is a battle. Try to understand.
How was that? That was my first time doing that wall slap thing. I hope I looked cool.
Good night.
Kakehashi...
I...
want to die.
You can't—
I know.
But please, just listen.
Admitting I want to die is the last thing I should be saying to you.
That day...
Watching you has made me feel like I have to find happiness, too.
After you said that, I felt like we were allies working towards the same goal.
Allies?
Yeah.
You call us allies, but all I'm doing is being protected by you.
You're my Wings. I'm literal baggage.
You're wrong.
It's important for God candidates to work together.
After meeting Mr. Mukaido, I feel like I want to do everything I can as a God candidate,
even if I am a pretty pathetic fighter.
For the sake of Mr. Mukaido's kids... and the future.
I don't deserve friends or allies.
Remember how our families used to visit the beach and go camping together?
Yeah.
I found a four-leaf clover!
Wow!
Now you're bound to find happiness, Mirai.
Lucky! I'm gonna find one, too.
Let's look for one together.
Saki, we're leaving.
Aw, what? Just a little longer.
You can have this one.
What? Are you sure?
Yeah. You're my friend, so you can have it.
Thanks.
Look, a yellow ladybug.
He's actually the one who found it.
They say ladybugs bless people with happiness.
Yellow's the color of happiness. And on top of that, you've got a lucky four-leaf clover.
Nothing can stop you now.
You're right.
Hey, Mirai.
Huh?
We'll be friends forever, Mirai.
Of course.
This four-leaf clover symbolizes our friendship.
Yeah, gotcha.
That was all I needed to be happy back then.
I said we'd be friends forever, but I...
I bullied you.
You bullied me?
When you were all alone, not only did I not reach out to you, but I also bullied you.
I called you "Kakehashi Pigsty" along with the other kids.
When you walked by, I held my nose.
Jeez, you stink!
Hold your noses!
Pigsty! Pigsty! Pigsty!

And after I'd said we'd be friends forever.
It was awful of me.
Yeah, it was.
Every time, I went along with what everyone else was doing.
I bullied you. That makes it even worse.
And then, on that day...
What day?
The day we graduated from middle school. I wanted to go apologize to you.
I thought I'd at least return your four-leaf clover, so I chased after you.
I followed you, but...
I was so scared, I...
That's when I met Revel.
Kimidori Elementary Class 6-2 Saki Hanakago
When I learned you were still alive, I was so relieved.
But since then, the things you've said have stuck in my heart.
I'd rather be bullied than bully someone.
I could only imagine you were speaking directly to me, and...
It made me wonder why I'm even alive.
So...
I want you to kill me.
Once a new God is chosen
the other candidates' angel tools
can be confiscated.
Once a new God is chosen

Use your White Arrow. Or even your Red one.
Do what you want with me, then tell me to die.
Kill me.
I want you to kill me, Kakehashi.
Please.
H-Hey, look!
Where are they going?
Kakehashi?
Wh-What's he doing?
Kakehashi...
You're telling me to kill myself if I want to die, aren't you?
Saki!
Stay back!
If you spread your wings in the sky like that, the other candidates will see you.
Saki, if you wanna die, get on with it, will ya?
Nasse!
After all, you already stopped her once.
If she still wants to die, then it is what it is.
Looks like you chose badly.
Saki!
I was lying.
I don't want to die.
I want to live!
I want to open the door to tomorrow with you and Mr. Mukaido!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
You're incredible, Kakehashi.
You say you'd rather be bullied than bully, and that you can't hate people...
Things people normally brush off as lip service...
But you actually live by them.
In the presence of someone like that, I feel like I have to speak the truth.
The truth is, I...
That's enough now.
At least let me say this.
Please forgive me!
And please, let me stay with you!
There's nothing to forgive.
I'm not mad.
Let's do this together.
Like when we searched for that four-leaf clover.
Thank you.
So you knew Saki was lying about wanting to die.
Nope.
I think Saki only just realized how she really feels.
If anyone was lying, it was Mirai.
What?
He obviously would've saved her if she'd fallen.
They ended up sleeping in separate beds.
They sure did.
So what we've learned about Metropoliman so far
is he's between 15 and 20, about 175 cm tall, and he's pale and handsome.
From the pieces of mask he left behind at the tower, we know his blood type is B-negative.
The police don't have his DNA on file.
You looked for a DNA match already?
What about checking the hospitals?
That might turn something up.
I still have a private eye I shot with a Red Arrow. I'll get 'em on it.
Just to be sure, we should also investigate any surgeons who've died over the past two days.
If necessary, I can use my Red Arrow. Let me know if you need me to.
She sounds so dependable.
Kakehashi, draw what you saw under that mask as soon as you can.
What? Uh, sure.
Also, this room is starting to feel a little cramped.
I'd like to relocate to a larger space that'd be more suitable as a base of operations.
Huh?
This morning, I shot both of my parents with Red Arrows, so I can live on my own.
Anyway, about our new place... What do you think of this?
Enjoy the view from the top floor!

Huh.
It's beautiful.
The angels are more interested than we are.
It's cramped here with three people plus three angels.
Yeah, and I'll be finishing up our costumes soon.
I'm deciding on the colors and shapes now so that we can recognize each other at a glance.
Costumes?
If I can choose my own color, I'd like to be yellow.
Yellow? Why?
Because to me, it's the color of happiness.
Also, Baret, there's something I'd like to ask you.
Yes?
I'd like Wings as well.
He didn't attempt to use his Arrow even once.
No, more accurately, he couldn't.
Unlike the Red Arrow, the White Arrow never runs out of uses,
which means this guy has a first-rank angel.
It also means...
this idiot who charged me has a special-rank angel.
He could've killed me with a White Arrow, but he tried taking me alive with a Red.
What shall we do now?
Well, I've got all these Red Arrows.
I will find them.
You want your own pair of Wings?
The only way to get them is to take them from a dead God candidate.
There are several ways to acquire them.
First, you can kill a God candidate yourself.
Second, you can shoot a dying God candidate with a Red Arrow,
making you first in line to receive the dead candidate's Wings.
Third, you can be given them by a God candidate
who used methods one or two to acquire Wings and Arrows.
In other words, we should kill Metropoliman and give his Wings to Hanakago.
We'll be able to take all the Wings and Arrows he has in one fell swoop.
That's correct.
Finally, fourth.
If a God candidate dies from an illness, an accident, or suicide,
you can ask the angel transporting their body to Heaven to give you their Wings.
That's all the methods.
In other words, you need to be present when my cancer finally does me in.
Mr. Mukaido...
That's not what I want.
I want to defeat Metropoliman together, with both of you.
I want to be able to fly like you so I can help with that.
Yeah, sure, but...
Receiving your Wings after your death won't make me happy.
I don't want to just be protected, either.
I want us to work together to achieve our goal and be happy together.
Saki...
Hanakago, I'm delighted to hear you say that.
She's changed. Did something happen yesterday?
Uh, sort of...
Maybe this is the real Saki.
Everyone.
There's an easy way for Saki to acquire Wings.
What?
I simply need to become a first-rank angel.
Hey, you're right! You're so smart, Revel!
Is that possible?
Baret, I'll swallow my pride and ask you.
What do I have to do to become a first-rank angel?
The proud Revel is asking for help?
Revel...
There are no rules or test for promotion.
Angels who are exceptional in some way are promoted.
Then, what if I acquired more knowledge than you, Baret?
That would probably work.
What? Seriously?
But then, Baret wouldn't be the Angel of Knowledge anymore.
It's not a problem.
I've already been demoted from special-rank to first-rank.
Actually, it's more realistic that Revel could advance from second-rank
all the way to special-rank.
Special-rank?
I'll do it!
Then you'll be special-rank like me! You'll even get a White Arrow!
Saki will be... special-rank, too?
But it's not 100% guaranteed to work.
After all, there are no rules.
They say it's determined by God's whims.
Good luck, Revel.
All right!
Here.
You're taking your medicine, right?
You're so kind, Nanaka.
You're kinder, Daddy.
Oh, am I?
You're making clothes for my piano recital. Three whole outfits.
Yeah, they're almost done. You're gonna love them.
Yeah, thanks.
But I'm too young for a wedding dress.
Y-You saw that?
Sorry.
I went into your room.
We don't know how big I'll get yet.
You can wait until I'm in middle school.
I see.
You're right. How stupid of Daddy.
I'm just so eager to see you grow up and get married. I couldn't help myself.
You're hopeless.
I'll just have to grow up big so I can fit into the dress you made.
I'll become the perfect bride for your dress.
Daddy, I can't breathe.
