Following the depreciation from the Southeast Asia Financial Crisis,
The stock prices won't stop falling, lowest price since the war.
Could this be the effect of Bashou Pharmaceuticals bankruptcy?
it looked as if things were improving on the stock market...
Update on the lowest stock prices since the war.
Due to the flood of anonymous deposits nationwide,
numbering in the tens of trillions of yen, and the shock of rising prices,
Nikkei Average
the value of the yen...
One dollar costs 3000 yen?!
I don't give a damn, just change it over already!
It has to be dollars, some stores won't accept anything else!
This movement of the yen is irrelevant to 「C」, correct?
Yes, it's some sort of conspiracy.
What about 「C」?
Take a look at this.
Sheesh...
...the world sure is simple.
I always figured it would come to this.
I did as well, Q.
This is fate.
No, it was inevitable. I get the feeling that I had no choice but to fight him.
We call that fate.
I suppose so.
Let's go.
Yep.
Only about an hour until the payment is processed.
The Future
ikinuku tame ni kikonda
生き抜くために着込んだ
In order to survive
kimi dake ga mieru yoroi wa
君だけが見える鎧は
I donned an armour only you could see
mie to gaibun ni obieta
見栄と外聞に怯えた
I stood in fear of appearance and reputation
oroka no hate no genjitsu
愚かの果ての現実
And the realisation of a hopeless end
karada kishimu hodo dakishimete yo
身体軋むほど抱きしめてよ
Hold me tighter until my bones begin to crack
isso kowashitekureyo
いっそ壊してくれよ
Please, just break me apart

Down to my next empty layer
nan no itami mo nai
何の痛みもない
It doesn't hurt at all
And my face gets smaller and smaller
sara ni chippoke na ore no kao da
さらにちっぽけな俺の顔だ

ね
Hey
nige mo kakure mo shinai kara
逃げも隠れもしないから
I won't run or hide

ここから出してくれマトリョーシカ
So get me out of this Matryoshka
[OPEN DEAL]
Hime!
[SLEEPING BEAUTY][MICRO-FLATION]
Mashyu, Micro-flation 50,000,000!
1,000,000,000!
[DIRECT]
Kimimaro!
Mashyu, return!
[SWAP]
Mezzo-flation.
[EBO]
[DIRECT]
What do you mean you can't make the exchange?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Japan Bank
We've stopped all trading in yen with other countries.
Vice President's Office
I never thought I'd see the day when the world's strongest currency would become invalid.
We'll have to decide on our final words...
The edge of the Far East Financial District
[DIRECT][DIRECT]
[DIRECT]
Too bad for you...
Q!
[MACRO...MEZZO...MICRO]
Georges!
[SWAP]
Ooh, so much danger! Chaos is abound out here, as well as back there!
Yes, quite chaotic.
It's really too bad. I was truly hoping that you'd stand behind me.
No matter what happens, I want to enshrine this moment in eternity.
I believed that we could share the same values.
I'll pass.
Our way of seeing things is simply different. Our goals are the same.
It's a bit too late for that though.
Kimimaro. Our only choice is a Macro.
I... don't want to let off a Macro.
I want... I want to go all out with this one.
[MICRO, MEZZO, MACRO-FLATION]
Q.
[ECONOMIC BLOCKADE]
Mashyu!
[OVERHEATED ECONOMY]
I... can't move!
Following the command by the Financial Services Agency to halt all currency exchange,
incidents on the verge of riot are breaking out in every area of the nation.
Perhaps, if you had had a sister, and she had met with the same circumstances,
you may have done the same as I did.
[DIRECT]
Is this really what your sister wished for?
You've been doing this all for yourself, haven't you?
You said you were doing it all for the present, or for the weak,
but in the end, it was only for yourself!
As if you know what it's like!
What?!
Are you seriously saying that we can't buy anything without dollars?
A certain place in the city
That has to be a rumour.
It's possible that it's only a rumour, but we've been ordered by our home branch.
We're not allowed to accept Japanese Yen.
Get moving!
Mashyu, charge, 1,000,000,000.
[MICRO...MEZZO-FLATION]
Okay!
Do you get it? We assets are our Entre's futures.
I've been fighting for Kimimaro this whole time,
but Kimimaro always says he's fighting for me!
You don't find that strange?
That doesn't mean a thing.
The hell it doesn't!
It somehow puts me at ease... I know it's the truth!
The last time I spoke with my sister, her final words to me were,
"I wish today could last forever."
That if only the days could go on like this, unchanging, forever!
The blood of my sister that knows not of tomorrow, the blurring sound of her voice...
Do you understand?
The reason I said that the present is what is truly important...
...is because the true form of humanity...
...is to value the people and things right before our eyes.
Not wandering confusedly toward a future we can't predict.
But what was right before my eyes changed...
It was taken away somewhere!
Even though I had every intention of valuing everything around me!
If I hadn't made my move, everything would have been destroyed!
There were people that I saved as well.
Am I wrong?
What's the point in saving someone when they have no future?
Are you sure that your sister didn't really want to tell you that you were wrong?
The same as I've been telling you!
Japan
Nikkei Average
Did you see the Prime Minister's interview?
The government is sure having a hard time of things.
There's not a person alive that believes what their country tells them anyway...
Will you leave Japan?
The smart people among us have likely left already...
Mikuni-san said he had a sister? And that she won't open her eyes again?
Take this... SCORCHED EARTH!
[CANNIBALISATION]
[MICRO...MEZZO...MACRO-FLATION]
SCORCHED EA...
[ECONOMIC BLOCKADE]
[CANNIBALISATION]
What was that?
I can see it. You have the same face as his sister.
Shut your mouth.
Aren't you his sister? What the hell is Mikuni-san trying to do?
Sucking your blood... then transfusing it back to you...
An asset is giving me a sermon?
I'm... so glad that I met him.
You're still saying that?!
I don't want to leave his side, but I'm here, fighting...
I'm fighting for him.
Why are you fighting? Are you really doing what's best for Mikuni-san?
And is Mikuni-san really fighting to benefit you?
Shut up... Shut up! Shut up!
Hey! There's a toy mixed in with my change!
What?
I'm asking you what's with this completely black bill!
No matter what I do... No matter what you do...
Someday mankind will fall to ruin!
That's why I'm already giving it my all, as if today is the last.
I don't care what happens tomorrow... that's all. That's all there is to it!
If that tomorrow is worse than the day before, what will you do?
[DIRECT]
It will just become a new today!
Q! Eat him! Devour this Entre!
Q...
Takako!
[DIRECT]
Time to awake from the dream...
Market Closure
「C」's chain reaction... is about to hit Japan!
What?!
Mikuni Souichirou!
Are you all right... Nii-san?
Yeah... I'm just a bit tired...
You can rest now. Nii-san has been fighting long enough.
Takako...
Lately, Nii-san is looking a lot like our father.
Father also had something he wanted to protect.
Certainly, the same way that Nii-san did.
I'm like our father... Really? I suppose so.
If that's how it is, just what have I been doing this whole time?
Takako! Takako!
Takako!
Takako...
The chain reaction passed through Japan.
How in the world can that be?
When the Japanese Yen lost its value, the Midas Money disappeared.
Therefore, 「C」's chain reaction passed over the Japanese Archipelago.
Before long, this very Far East Financial District will cease to exist.
Although you're in the midst of a deal, what do you say we do?
It's my loss.
I don't mind.
Mikuni-san...
It shall... be so.
The rotary press... begin spinning it in reverse.
Don't regret it...
But do as you please.
Understoo...
I'll buy back the future.
...d!
[YOU HAVE CONTROL]
It seems that this is goodbye... Q.
I realised that continuing to fight beyond this...
...wouldn't be to your benefit.
You should go now, to where you belong.
It would be nice if I could be by your side again.
That can never happen.
I'm sorry for that... Q.
No... Takako.
We won, didn't we?
Yeah... Thank you.
Could this be... goodbye?
Yeah.
You said thirty times... right?
I think, at this moment, I love you over forty times more than I usually do...
Mashyu...
I'm so glad I met you...
Mashyu... me too!
See ya.
Let's meet again in the future.
I'll pass on that. I'll remain with today for all of eternity.
It's so pretty!
Here I was thinking that trust came first in all things...
...I never thought the financial district would lose all of its trust so easily!
On the other hand, I'd better be careful. You never know what will happen and when!
Isn't it a bit late for that?
It seems my services will be necessary at the financial district sooner than I thought.
Guess that means there was nowhere to run after all.
We're just that trusted!
I just can't keep up with your whimsy!
Where am I?
Just what is right and what is wrong...?
You seem to be a bit lost on that.
There is no correct answer. Everyone is right.
Everyone fought to make the world better,
and in the end, it improved.
Then... just what is the financial district?
Because of it, all of you could meet... and fight.
There is nothing that exists without purpose.
No matter what kind of evil, no matter what kind of disaster,
everything exists with the purpose of guiding humanity to a better future.
Don't lose sight of that fact.
Who are you?
The world you will be returning to is almost complete.
But you... all of you,
have taken back something very precious.
Do not forget that.
mado kara sotto esukeepu shite
I silently escape from my window
yoru no machi ga
and the nighttime city,
RPG ni kawaru
becomes an RPG
yajirushi ni sotte izanawareta
Following an arrow marker, I'm being led
iromeku sekai
to a world brimming with colour
hajimari no aizu hibiiteiru
A sign that something is beginning can be heard
karadajuu koikogareru
and my whole body begins to yearn
kimi ni aitakute hashirinuketeku
I break into a run, wishing to see you
yami wo tobikoete
and break through the darkness
kuraimakkusu nante
It doesn't matter
konakutatte
If we reach a climax
ichi ka bachi ka no kiken na kake datte ii sa
I'd even take a high-stakes bet

Anything to get your attention
kimi ni ima hamacchaitainda
I want to think only of you
sekaijuu wo azamuitemo ii
I'd turn my back on the entire world
ima sugu te wo hiite
Take my hand now
A or B ja nai ya
It's not a choice of A or B
rikutsu ja nai ya
It's not something to reason about
sekaijuu no subete no nazo yori
More so than all the mysteries of the world
shiritai kimi no kokoro wo
I want to know your heart
The ball went thattaway!
Sign: Today Only. Everything $2
That will be seven dollars and thirty cents.
Out of exactly seven dollars and thirty cents.
Hurry, hurry! Hurry up!
Nori-chan!
It's dangerous to run around like that!
Okay!
Kenji-kun! You mustn't run about.
Is everyone following along with me?
Hana-!
Sensei, over there! A puppy!
A puppy? How cute!
A puppy!
Seeing a caregiver that looks so much like the girl you were once fond of must make you think,
"Ah, maybe she's also off somewhere, enjoying a blessed future!"
And I'm terribly sorry to bother you when you're off having such thoughts.
This must all be a joke...
No, it certainly isn't.
Why are you here?
This is the future that you returned.
If I were to try to explain it, the future is also "collateral".
Where there is future, so too am I.
The financial district is still intact.
That's...
It's all right!
Huh?
There is quite an abundance of futures that will serve as optimal collateral.
If the mood strikes you, you can knock on my door at any time.
With that...
Uh...
I should have smiled...
To the future!
