Sidekick!
You are the most burdensome sidekick ever.
Your "it's whatever" act towards me feels pretty forced at this point.
"Episode 6" "Crimson Devil, Ice Queen"
Siesta... How did you... procure such a thing?
Oh, it was just kind of... lying abandoned in the street?
Don't lie! No way something like this was lying by the roadside.
I'm telling you, it's true!
There's certainly no way that I got so disturbed at your being abducted
that I vigorously wrangled with the government
to borrow Sirius, a humanoid weapon that had been in covert development.
You've been busier than I thought.
Siesta, you were too, too desperate to save me.
I told you, that's not what happened.
This is too much.
The way you're going back and forth so heatedly with my future partner...
...I'm getting jealous.
Hel, why are you fomenting this sort of terrorism?
Why? It's because it's my destiny. I merely abide by the Sacred Writ.
No. What I'm asking about is your own intent.
My intent? That's what I mean--
it's to bring about the future that's inscribed in the Sacred Writ.
That alone is the meaning of my existence.
I was born only for that purpose.
Is that so? But still...
I won't let you go any further with your designs for this city.
Do you truly believe you can stop me?
Stop destiny?
Sidekick!
So cramped...
Well, it's made to seat one.
If you take advantage of this as a chance to touch somewhere unseemly,
you'll earn my full contempt.
Do you have zero faith in your sidekick?
Right, here we go. Sirius, charge!
I never dreamed you'd gone so far as to create a monster like this.
And as for you, you needlessly impede us.
That's because it's my mission.
Siesta!
It's fine, I won't let them get away. Hold on.
Rocket... hands!
Shouldn't that tone of voice be used to say "punch"?
Is there a problem here?
You're just too, too persistent.
You said something earlier... Impeding us was your mission, you said.
So why do you work as a detective? Why do you protect people?
It's because you were born for that particular existence, nothing more.
It's the same. I'm the same.
Just as you were born to defend the world, I was born to destroy the world.
I'm merely obeying the instincts I was born with.
So you're saying that we're, in essence, the same,
and what's more, that there's no difference between good and evil?
A difference between good and evil? It doesn't matter to me if there is one.
You're good, I'm evil-- that's fine with me.
I can live with that.
Siesta!
Sidekick...
Now we fly.
Eh?
Engines, full throttle!
Can't allow that!
Sidekick...
Whatever happens after this, clear out of this place immediately.
Siesta, what are you saying?
Siesta... why?
Siesta!
Siesta... Hey, where are you, Siesta?
Are you stupid or something?
You had no right to say anything before. You're way too desperate about me, Kimi.
I'm positive I told you before, whatever happens, to clear out immed--
You're the stupid one.
Why did you act so recklessly? Why did you send me away?
It was purely as a last resort. I had no intention of dying here either.
But if only one of us could survive, in that case, I--
Stop that nonsense!
Listen, three years ago, on that plane, you asked me to join you.
That being so, you need to look after me, till the bitter end!
Sorry, but in your absence, I have no confidence I can escape from SPES.
I can't survive without you! Do you understand? If you do...
...live up to your obligations to the very end and protect me!
In my entire life, this is the first time anyone's ever shouted at me this much.
So you do get worked up like this. What can I say...?
It makes me smile.
It makes you smile?
"I can't survive without you," huh?
Hey, stop cherry-picking peculiar phrases out of context.
Once again I've been hit with an ardent proposal.
I haven't proposed!
Well, once you turn 18, give it another try.
I told you I-- Whatever.
I vow to you...
Eh?
I won't go off and willfully die without saying a word to you. Absolutely not.
Sidekick!
Not yet...
I can't die yet.
Hel.
It's not my destiny... to die in a place like this.
I'm the one who wins in the end. If not...
The significance Father gave to me respective to this...
I see, you...
With this, I'll finish it. You won't be able to move a single step from there...
...and my blade will run you through.
Get out of the way, Siesta!
Hel's power... Siesta!
How...?
Checkmate.
Why... did I lose...?
This wasn't supposed to... I had a mission...
Was fighting for a mission... A mission...
Why was I born? Why was I...?
Find your answers in Hell.
Chameleon!
A partner?
I won't let her escape!
Her body vanished...
Probably a power of the partner she just called out to.
Chameleon...
Sidekick...
I'm sorry.
These apples aren't very juicy.
Don't complain when I'm handfeeding you.
There's no way around that, right? Since I injured myself.
Your leg, yes. Your hands are available, right?
In the desperate battle of a few days before, during a fall,
Siesta sustained a leg injury that will take a couple of weeks to fully heal.
Ordinarily, we'd have needed to pursue Hel in all haste,
but with Siesta like this, there's nothing to be done.
Are you all right, Kimi?
Taking diligent care of a self-indulgent partner like this doesn't faze me.
Oh? That's good.
Don't ignore the sarcasm I put so much effort into.
I'm fine, but hurry up and recover from that. I'm no good at domestic work.
We're living together, just as you've dreamed of.
Shouldn't you enjoy it just a little?
Don't call it "living together." It's a tactical bunking-up.
Also, it's good that you improve your practical life skills a little.
What will you do when I'm gone?
Hey, that's off-limits.
That's right; I'm going to get shouted at again.
Are you going out?
You'd prefer juicier ones, right?
What? Why are you laughing?
Kimi... you like me too, too much, don't you?
Huh? I don't know what you mean... Huh? No, just... Wha--?
I had no idea you'd get so flustered.
Shut up, you ignoramus!
Cripes. I'm not going to spoil her ever again.
Huh?
What to do...
It's been a while since I've gotten caught up in a mundane problem like this.
Oh...
Hm?
I'm going to be attacked.
Huh?
I'm going to be attacked.
I've got an intensely bad feeling about this, but I guess I'll ask.
Who are you going to be attacked by?
By you!
However, you might have your way with me physically,
but if you think you can also take control of my heart, you're very mistaken!
And I'm immediately hit with baseless suspicions. This is absurd.
Sorry, but I'm not interested in children.
Who are you calling a child?!
Now, now. Cool down a little.
In this type of situation, introductions would be a good start.
My name is Kimihiko Kimizuka. What's yours?
I'm...
...Alicia?
Why was that in question form? Did you come from Wonderland or something?
I'm hungry.
This conversation is really lacking in continuity.
Are they good?
Yeah, they're delicious--really sweet!
That's--! Did you eat all of those?
So, where are we?
"Where are we?" Didn't you choose this yourself as a place to sleep?
I don't know.
Amnesia...
Eh?
Is there anything you remember?
I only remember that I'm 17 years old as of this year.
Hurry up and forget that because you've definitely got that wrong.
Where are you looking when you say that?
I took her for an ordinary runaway,
but this seems more complicated than I thought.
For starters, we're going to the police.
Sidekick? Are you back?
Uh, yeah. And what are you doing?
I thought I'd make apple pie,
since you said you were going out just to buy more for me.
Ah. Um, so, Siesta... It's just...
Since you seem to care about me quite a bit,
call it a sense of obligation, as a crush-ee.
I thought I'd do this much for you.
So where are the apples?
Umm, the thing is...
Kimizuka!
Aren't there any smaller towels?
You lolicon.
Now I understand the situation.
Darjeeling, eh? It smells great.
Yeah. It goes wonderfully with apple pie.
You'd better believe you'll never see me in an apron again, Kimi.
My, oh my, you can't mean that.
That's the one and only thing I've looked forward to in life. I am so sad.
Yikes, sorry! I swear I'll make this up to you later!
This apple-free apple pie is tasty.
Come on!
More pertinently, you should've brought her to me from the start.
Isn't a missing girl suffering from amnesia
exactly the sort of thing for a detective to handle?
True enough.
You said Alicia, right? You really don't know your own full name or anything?
No, the fact that I'm 17 years old as of this year is about all.
Seven years old--I see.
Seventeen!
Well, in reality, you must be about 12 or 13.
That's the sense I get from the development of her calves.
This is not the place for showing off your peculiar fetishes.
Alicia, we'll take on the responsibility of verifying your true identity.
But I'm not saying we'll do it for free.
Hey, Siesta, we're going to take money from a child?
That's irrelevant; a child still counts as one human being, and what's more,
I believe nothing is as unreliable as uncompensated good intentions.
I guess that's true.
What can I do, then?
Alicia, I want you to do the work of a detective in my place.
The work of... a detective?
Siesta, whatever your intentions, isn't that too heavy a burden?
That could be, but...
I get it. The legendary detective is currently closed for business, right?
But in that case, having me take on the detective role
and Alicia work as sidekick would be--
No, that doesn't... How can I put it? You just have the face of a sidekick.
That's absurd.
If you've accepted this, we'll commit to covering your food, clothing, and shelter.
But I'm not sure I have the confidence to suddenly be a detective.
If you become a detective, you can order your sidekick around however you please.
Hurray! I'll do it! I want to play the role of legendary detective!
That was an appalling negotiation I just watched.
So, specifically, what type of work should I--?
Our Jack the Ripper seems to have been resurrected.
Fuubi-san? Why? I thought you went back to Japan.
Yeah, I recalled some minor business I had to take care of.
More to the point...
When did you two pop out a child?
--You need to get your eyes checked. --You should get your eyes checked.
To backtrack, when you say our Jack the Ripper's been resurrected...
Yup. Yesterday, another new victim of heart harvesting was discovered.
The M.O. also resembles the previous cases.
That's madness... That night, Cerberus was...
Hel.
Truth is, we have some information that may be useful in pursuing her.
It's still only a rumor, but we're hearing that an object
that could lead to bringing down SPES is here in the city.
We're hearing that people refer to it as... the "Eye of Sapphire."
