Lycoris Recoil (2022) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Headquarters? Headquarters!?
- It disconnected.
- Why?
Like I'd know!
Come outta there! Or I’ll kill this one!
Takina!
Were you planning on killing Erika?
Takina, we're gonna open shop!
Okay, I’ll be right there!
Oh man. What a mess you've made.
What's up?
That photo from before. See?
I sent you a copy, too.
Oh, this one.
I had DA Intelligence Division
analyze this.
Even if we can't make out the face,
we can get good leads from his physique.
Wha
Wh-What the
That means this is
the best resolution DA can get?
Mizuki! This is a chance to outsmart them!
Wait, what's wrong, Mizuki?
Nothing's wrong!
Why is she pissed?
Oh hey, it's time.
Kurumi! It's time!
Challenge! I challenge you!
CLOSED
And so, let's start the after-hours
board game party!
Yeah!
Didn't you say
you had a deadline tomorrow?
That has nothing to do with me today.
Let's not talk about work here.
Actually, I'm on duty right now.
Detective, you're such a scoundrel.
Let's hurry up and start!
All right, let's determine who goes first.
Come on, Takina, you should play with us.
I'll help you close up the cash register.
I'm already done.
So fast!
Zero error in the register. No discrepancies.
That means you're bored now, right?
Takina, come on over here! Let’s play!
Why don’t you join us, Takina?
No thank you.
Too many old guys here, maybe?
She's just shy.
You know, that awkward age.
How we're playing inside the café
is more ridiculous.
You think so?
Why don't you go play with them?
Would that get me back into DA?
Hey, Takina.
What is it?
Let's play games together. Okay?
I'm going home.
Then what about tomorrow?
Tomorrow is our regular day off.
I'm going to change.
Right. That's why we're gathering
here tomorrow to have a game party.
Chisato.
Did you get your medical check-up
and physical fitness test done?
Huh? Not yet.
It's such a drag
to go so deep into the mountains.
Tomorrow is the last day.
You need to do it to renew your license.
If you want to keep working,
you need to go.
Can you smooth-talk them for me, Teach?
Won't Ms. Kusunoki
listen to a request from you?
You're going to meet with the commander?
You’re still changing!
- Please take me with you.
- So fast.
Please.
I beg you.
Oh all right, Takina.
What are you gonna say to Ms. Kusunoki?
I'm thinking about that right now.
- Takina, want some candy?
- No thank you.
You'll be getting a medical check-up.
It's just one.
Consuming sugar affects blood sugar,
neutral fat, liver function, et cetera.
Oh, okay.
We have been waiting for you,
Miss Nishikigi and Miss Inoue.
STATE LAND BEYOND THIS POIN
NO ENTRY ALLOWED
The gate will now open.
LYCORIS: CHISATO NISHIKIGI
LYCORIS: TAKINA INOUE
- Here.
- Thank you.
Miss Nishikigi has a physical fitness test,
so please head to the medical ward next door.
Attention all C-Class trainees.
The shooting exercise scheduled for
eleven thirty hours will start one hour early.
Miss Inoue
I would like to see Commander Kusunoki.
The commander is currently in a meeting.
She will not return for another two hours.
The shooting exercise
will begin at ten thirty hours.
Repeat. The C-Class shooting exercise
will begin at ten thirty hours.
- Takina
- Hey, that's the friend-killer.
She got kicked out of DA, didn't she?
Attention all dorm leaders.
She apparently sends anyone
she pairs up with to the hospital. How horrible.
The submission deadline for next month's
dorm activity schedule is tomorrow.
What's up with them?
No submissions will be accepted
after the deadline.
Would you like to wait?
Oh. Yes.
All dorm leaders who have not
submitted yet, please do so ASAP.
Apparently she ignored orders.
Huh? Why would you do such a thing?
Attention all E-Class trainees.
I'll be over at the training facility.
We will have information
processing exercise now,
Wait, hold on, Takina!
Wait, Takina!
so please report to the computer room.
Repeat. The E-Class
Takina.
LOCKER ROOM
LET’S KEEP QUIET IN THE LOCKER ROOM
Oh, hey.
Chisato?
Miss Fuki who has her head on straight
is renewing her license on the final day?
What’s going on?
I’ve been busy. Don't think
I'm the same as your lazy butt.
Is Sensei doing well?
He's fine.
You should drop by some time.
You know we
Yeah, yeah. You can't leave on your own
outside of your missions, right?
I have no complaints.
Even though you can't see people
you want to see?
Oh, shut up. I’m done with that.
Are you getting along with Takina?
Of course. I don't punch her
or anything, after all.
You’re so annoying.
Why did you bring her with you?
She wants to come back here, right?
She does.
What's so good about this place?
You're the weird one.
We orphans were saved by DA,
and we were all raised here.
Don’t you feel any gratitude
towards your parents?
Well, I do. But it's like
gaining independence, I guess?
You're not independent at all
because you took Sensei with you.
The main branch is special,
especially to the transfers.
More like, if you understand that much,
you should help us.
That's for the higher-ups to decide.
Oh, don't say that!
You're as tough as ever.
Well, thanks.
It's been a while, Chisato.
Hey there!
You don't fulfill your duties as a Lycoris,
but you still want
the license privileges, huh?
I do work for DA
every so often, though.
Chisato, you're in the presence
of the commander!
Takina
Why did you kick her out?
She disobeyed orders.
You heard about it.
But she saved an ally!
And as a result, we still don't know
where 1,000 guns went.
That dealer should not have been killed.
You saw this, right?
It's because Headquarters
had the wrong time for the deal.
You're partially responsible
for this, aren't you?
Hey, Chisato.
Before you worry about how I treat others,
I would like you to do a lot more work.
We don't give you a license
just for you to play around.
- Oh, you're dodging the question.
- Stop it!
In the first place,
doesn't some responsibility fall on the field leader
who couldn't assess the situation properly?
It couldn’t be helped.
- There was radio interference so I lost contact—
- Fuki.
Radio interference?
Radio interference in the middle of an operation
monitored by Radiata is abnormal.
Simply a small technical trouble.
Oh no wait, Ms. Kusunoki.
It's a huge deal if Radiata was cracked!
I have no idea what you're talking about.
- Ms. Kusunoki!
- Stop it, Chisato.
A Lycoris who can't follow orders and makes
her own decisions is useless. That's all.
Fuki.
Please let Takina back in to DA!
Her successor is already here.
Oh. Pretty wicked, yeah.
Hey there. I'm Sakura Otome, yeah.
So is it true that you ignored orders
and you fired at a friendly?
Man, that was for real, huh.
No, I
So you get hyped shooting friendlies
more than enemies or something?
Stop that.
Whoa. How scary!
Please don't shoot me, okay?
Oh. I heard you only smile
when you kill someone?
Who's spreading such lies?
Oh, but I love that, yeah!
It's like a homicidal maniac
in movies and sounds awesome!
But don’t you worry.
The hole you left behind will be
securely filled by me, as your successor.
Successor?
Oh, you haven't heard yet?
I'm gonna be Fuki's partner
from now on.
There's no seat left for you here, yeah.
Hey, you.
Shut up, runt.
And who are you?
That's Chisato.
Fuki-senpai!
Oh, and Commander too!
So this is the radio tower’s
Don't call me “this.”
No, she's just a moron.
Commander.
I have obtained a photograph that serves
as new evidence for the arms deal, and turned it in.
Is that not enough of a performance
to return to DA?
Return?
If I performed well, I can return—
I don't ever recall saying that.
Ms. Kusunoki!
This can't be
You still don't get it?
She's telling you to give up!
Hey!
How scary. I'd expect nothing less
from the hero of the radio tower!
You have quite the punch,
like the rumors say!
Sakura, it's time for training. Let's go.
A pity! I wanted to talk to them
a bit more!
What do you want?
I'm sorry.
You didn't understand back then
when you got punched?
Then I’ll put it into words.
You're no longer needed here at DA.
Stop it, Fuki!
You still don't get it?
Then I'll make you understand
by crushing you in a mock battle right now.
Oh yeah? Sounds good!
Takina! Let's do it! Come on!
Let me go!
Oh, sorry.
Huh? Are you chickening out?
All right! We'll take you on
in a two-v-two!
Hey, Takina!
She ran away!
Are you gonna run away, too?
I thought you'd be here.
Every Lycoris really likes this spot.
To live in this dorm is what we all aspire for
after being adopted by DA.
And when I first put this uniform on
You felt really happy.
Don't look so surprised like that.
I was like that, too.
Then you understand, don't you?
This was our goal.
And it was taken away from me!
How could this
Takina, there are tons of people
in the city who need you.
It doesn't have to be here.
You're fine because DA still needs you!
For me
The place where I belong
is no longer here.
I'm sorry.
Takina.
I understand. It's all my fault.
Back then, you wanted to save your allies.
That wasn't an order.
You decided that for yourself, right?
That’s the most important part. Besides
How they're treating you
has nothing to do with that.
Is it true that there was some
radio interference on that day?
Yes. Just for a few minutes.
They said it was technical trouble.
It was a hack.
On Radiata?
About that. It's the most powerful AI
carrying DA's secrets, right?
It has priority for every piece of infrastructure,
so radio interference is impossible.
A hack And that's why
the time of the deal
But they can't report something like that.
So they said a Lycoris acted recklessly,
and that's why
Wait, where are you going?
This is preposterous!
I will talk to the commander—
Wait, wait, wait!
She's just gonna feign ignorance!
Then what can I do!?
Takina. We just need to move on for now.
There are things you can gain
from losing something.
If you didn't do what you did back then,
we never would have met.
- What?
- Were they hugging?
Feeling adolescence?
This is so funny!
I'm glad I was able to meet you.
H-Hey!
I'm glad! I'm happy!
You're gonna become sad just so you can meet
someone else's expectations? That's boring.
You have your place.
Why don't you try spending time
with everyone at the café?
And if you think it's better here,
you can come back.
It won't be too late.
You're still in the middle.
A chance will surely come, and when it does,
you can choose what you want to do.
What I want to do
Yeah!
What I want to do
always gets top priority!
Well, that leads to many failures as well.
But for now, I want to beat up those girls
who said horrible things to you,
so I’ll be right back.
A situational exercise will begin
at fourteen hundred hours.
All Lycoris should report to the kill house booth
by the appointed time.
Repeat. A situational exercise will begin
at fourteen hundred hours.
All Lycoris should report to the kill house booth
by the appointed time.
Erika, Takina is here.
I know.
I see. Apparently she's gonna do
a mock battle against Fuki now.
Fuki will get revenge for you.
Let's go watch.
That's no revenge.
Huh? You almost died
because of her shooting.
I'm still alive, aren't I?
I was the one who was captured by the enemy.
It's not Takina's fault.
She shouldn't have killed
the dealer, though.
I know that. I know that, but
What? Miss Radio Tower
is doing a mock battle?
- Seriously? We can watch Chisato?
- Hurry, hurry!
Hibana, aren't you gonna go?
It's a match between previous partners!
Sounds like fun!
- Maybe this has that girl's return on the line!
- Come on, hurry up!
Huh? Is this everyone?
Looks like someone is missing.
This is our tactic! Strategy!
We're reserving our ace player’s stamina!
She's not someone who fights
outside of her missions.
You really don't have an eye for people.
I'm surprised you can be a 1st like that.
And is that uniform of yours
just for decoration?
You're a chicken
who can only shoot rubbers.
What was that?
What middle school you from, huh?
Huh? Did your brain turn into rubber as well?
Just keep brewing tea at the radio tower’s base
for the rest of your life!
You wanna go?
You guys get along really well, yeah.
- You gonna bring some tea?
- Huh? You want me to?!
Then we will begin. Is that all right?
Let’s start the show.
Both parties, engage each other
as if heading into actual combat.
Ready
Begin!
Not bad, Fuki.
Just like our plan, yeah.
There!
Here she comes.
You're pretty skilled.
Don't mess with me!
Oh no, you shouldn't extend
your arm at such close range.
You've already died twice.
What's the deal with her?
She's making fun of me.
She's waiting.
That's the kind of person she is.
Takina. We just need to move on for now.
There are things you can gain
from losing something.
You're gonna become sad just so you can meet
someone else's expectations? That's boring.
You have your place.
Why don't you try spending time
with everyone at the café?
And if you think it's better here,
you can come back.
It won't be too late.
You're still in the middle.
A chance will surely come.
You'll never hit her
if you shoot randomly.
I’m confident in my shooting, yeah!
That makes it worse!
You forgot this!
Damn it!
Stop it! Sakura!
Damn it.
Pretty good!
So this is Chisato.
I've never seen her move before.
What kind of magic is this?
She’s a genius at recognizing the trajectory
and shot timing using her excellent insight.
It's difficult to shoot Chisato
even from this range.
But, outside of that
She's just a cheeky little brat.
Takina, our ride home is here!
Be right there.
You know, that was a mock battle.
All you had to do
was take a shot from behind.
But you rushed in and punched.
That was stupid.
This makes it even between us.
You really are a useless Lycoris.
Disobeying orders
and acting on your own.
Never come back here again.
I'm gonna leave you behind!
Though I’d never leave you behind.
I'm sorry about that.
Because my shooting skills weren't up to par,
I embarrassed you as well.
It was easier for her to dodge because
your shooting is so precise.
Is she dodging bullets!?
Stuff like that happens only in manga, right?
That's what's so infuriating about her.
Next time, I'm definitely not gonna lose!
Oh, hold up, wait for me!
Takina went home.
Is that okay with you?
It was a lie that she'd come back if she won.
I don’t even know what to say to her.
Hey, Takina!
Just kidding.
You know, Takina
What is it?
You aimed for me
when you were shooting, didn't you?
I figured you would definitely dodge it.
You really are
an extraordinary person, Chisato.
But that really felt good.
It did.
Look at this.
BOARD-GAME PARTY IS IN EXTRA INNINGS!
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE IT, CONTACT ME PLZZZ!
What to do?
This one's mine!
Oh! Chisato's coming!
THE TWO OF US WILL BE THERE
