Synduality Noir (2023) s01e13 Episode Script

[gasps]
Noir! Did you just
Yes. I was able to use my Magus Skill.
Let's do this, Kanata!
Right! Together, we have nothing to fear!
[both shout]
We finally defeated the Silver Storm!
Noir, it's all thanks to you!
Kanata
At least you understand
your own incompetence, human.
[stammers] Noir?
But you can still make some progress
in your own incompetent way, hack.
What?
Oh, no!
[grunts, strains]
That hurt.
[sighs]
Just a bad dream.
- [footsteps approaching]
- Noir would never say that
How long are you gonna lay about
doing nothing?
You're a total dimwit, human.
Help Mystere out a little, hack.
Guess I'm not waking up
from this crummy dream.
Where are you taking Mystere, you hack?
To my master's lab.
Noir was taken there
after the Silver Storm War.
Noir?
Oh, yeah. The name of that dud.
How ridiculous to give a safe mode a name.
Anyway, I asked her to analyze the body.
I want to hear the results.
With the state of human technology
after the collapse of Amasia,
what can you hope to learn?
Make fun of me all you want,
but don't underestimate Maria.
She's incredible!
Is that so?
[Maria] The results of the analysis
I didn't find anything
out of the ordinary.
I mean, I don't know any more
than the maintenance up to now.
I can't help you.
- [chuckles]
- [grumbles]
You really are the polar opposite of Noir.
How dare you?
Don't compare Mystere to that dud.
She's saying that?
If you've got something to say,
speak up, hack.
[grunts] Okay then. Don't call me a hack!
What else do you call a fool
who signs a contract for something
without knowing it's in safe mode?
Geez!
Safe mode, is it?
If anything,
that feature itself is unusual.
- What?
- Hmm?
Safe mode is essentially
the bare minimum needed
to enable simple operation.
What do you think happens
when you add that feature
to a complex scientific crystal
like a Magus?
Actually, it wouldn't
be able to do anything?
Right.
So, it's a bit unconvincing
to say that Noir is a safe mode.
Are you calling Mystere a liar?
The very opposite.
There's a chance you've been led
to believe what you're saying.
Was it a he or a she?
If I remember correctly
Pascale, right?
- Master?
- What?
So it's confirmed. Your master is Pascale?
No, I [huffs]
So let's hear all about Pascale.
[huffs]
If you can't wake up the dud,
there's no point in me being here.
[both stammer]
[door opens, closes]
- Why'd you go and piss her off?
- Oh, don't start.
I get a total kick out of
Noir's rebellious side. It's so funny!
That's all?
All joking aside,
it's the same for humans, right?
Intense emotions can stir up memories.
That's what I was hoping for.
I just told one little lie earlier.
Actually, the analysis
did bring something up this time.
[Kanata] That's
[Maria] A black box.
It seems to be closely connected
to the quantum brain.
I wonder if there's some way
we can pry it open.
So that's why you annoyed her?
Exactly. But I give up.
I knew we'd need
the same level of technology
as the equipment that was used
to create Type Zeros in the first place.
So something from Amasia.
[sighs]
The list of what we don't know
is just getting longer and longer.
Wait, I forgot.
Here.
Don't forget this.
Oh. Noir's camera.
Must have dropped it
last time you brought her in.
Thanks.
[sighs]
[Flamme] What's the matter, lady?
That grumpy face doesn't look good on you.
Master, bring this lady some oil.
From Bordeaux, 20,000 years old please.
Hey, is that your Magus?
- What the hell is she on about?
- [laughing] Please excuse her.
Flamme just wants to play
with the new Noir.
You're just as repulsive as she is.
And don't call Mystere by that name!
Okeydokey! Got it, Mysty!
[grunts]
[giggles]
[scoffs] You're that Type Zero
who's irrelevant to the Project.
Project?
Better that you don't know.
Anyway, it's only been 20 years,
but Drifters and Magus
have all become wimps.
Ouch, that's harsh.
But if the world has changed
from one where all you can do is live,
to one where you can be a bit of a wimp
and still go on living,
then the last 20 years
haven't been a total waste of time.
Maybe you should take a little look
at the world today.
[huffs]
[Kanata gasps]
Thanks for waiting, Mystere.
Huh? Claudia and Flamme?
Cooee!
I wanted to get back to work,
so I came over to say hello.
We had a little chat
with the girl everyone's talking about.
- [clears throat]
- [huffs]
I'll let you know
if I find anything useful.
Of course, there will be a fee.
Of course. Thank you.
[Claudia] Okay, we're off!
[Flamme] Bye-bye!
What were you talking about?
Nothing to do with you, hack.
[sighs]
[sighs]
How about a little side trip?
Huh?
This huge settlement
only took 20 years to build?
What are you trying to achieve, hack?
You've been shut up in that garage
since you woke up.
I wanted to show you
what the world is like now.
Noir was so curious about everything.
So I was thinking,
if we retrace Noir's memories,
maybe we can stimulate the storage
that's been put to sleep and wake her up.
What a stupid idea.
Do you really think that
something wishy-washy like a memory
is going to work on a Magus
full of intelligence crystals?
It's better than doing nothing.
[sighs]
Maybe you should take a little look
at the world today.
Okay, hack. I'll go with you.
[stammers] What's this?
You gonna buy it or what?
I'd like to, but
All this stuff is just laid out
for anyone to snatch.
Aren't they afraid of thieves?
Noir came shopping here a lot too.
It's almost primitive.
Then again, I never expected
healthy economic activity to be possible.
Humans. Tenacious, right?
After 20 years,
even hell can be a nice place to live.
[Ataro] Yes! Fresh vegetables.
Treats from your parents' house.
Thank you, Michael!
Nothing better than juicy veggies!
Lucky you. Share some with me, Michael.
- [straining]
- What's with Michael?
Why [gasps]
Why can't we just get a machine
to pull up the weeds? [yelps]
At Michael's parents' Diamond Farm Nest,
our motto is to grow all crops by hand,
just like in the old days.
Is this a bar?
Noir used to drink here a lot.
She liked disorganic milk.
[chuckles]
Magus and humans drink together in bars?
[scoffs]
That dud will let anything slide.
This is impossible.
Right. Better go there next then.
- [people chatting]
- What on earth is this?
Water uncontaminated by Blueschist.
This place is overflowing with it!
[shouting]
But the only purpose is leisure?
I agree with you.
Humans waste all their time and money
when it comes to having fun.
That's rich coming from you.
You're having more fun than them.
Since you came all the way here,
why don't you take a swim?
- What?
- By the way, Noir also
- [chuckles]
- enjoyed the pool to her heart's content.
Don't bunch me in with that dud.
Mystere has absolutely no interest!
[cheering]
Uh-oh, time to go.
Mystere, come with me!
What? What the hell!
Touching as if I were tracing ♪
I'm touching your heart ♪
Searching for where the key hides ♪
Hey, hack,
is that Magus really
- Yep. That's Ciel. Princess Ciel.
- [singing continues]
Right now, she's very popular
in all the Nests.
You & (A)I ♪
Naturally, Noir was a fan too!
Humans listening to a Magus sing
Although I haven't revealed
My deepest feelings to you yet ♪
and loving it this much.
Master's Project
wasn't in vain.
Did you get today's ticket from Tokio?
Nope, I asked Ciel.
I haven't seen Tokio lately.
Didn't he return home?
Even though he told me
he had something important to say to you.
He just ran off. What a wuss! [grumbles]
I'm not sure what he wants to discuss,
but I'm waiting patiently.
I've had it already.
Where's he been wandering off to anyway?
- Stupid oaf.
- [Ciel] I'm so happy. It's like a dream.
Thank you, everyone.
[person grunts]
You bastard!
[shouts, grunts]
Excuse me for stepping in.
Dear me
You're looking
a little worse for wear, Master.
Maybe lay off the sauce.
Shut it.
Shit!
There are two of them.
Let's kick their asses!
Let's go!
Mouton, right back at ya!
Your knees are looking a little wobbly.
[grunts]
You! [grunts]
Isn't it about time
you got some shiny new ones?
Okay, I'll use
some of your drinking budget
to buy some new parts.
To hell with that.
I'll tear off
that fancy mustache of yours.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't.
Depends on whether you pull off this job.
Well, that was a little bothersome.
Now we can finally speak.
[groans, grunts]
Come on. It's just a little favor.
It's a piece of cake for you shady types.
I'm simply trying to find someone.
[water running]
[Mystere] Mystere is not a child.
I know how to take a shower by myself.
[Ciel] It's more economical
to take a shower together, okay?
[Mystere] I've had it.
This bogus life
is nothing compared to Amasia.
Although, the developments
in certain areas are astounding.
Even if that does include
a dirty, pleasure-seeking lifestyle.
Speaking of,
I saw you came to watch my show.
I could see you from the stage.
Did you have fun?
[huffs]
Were you able to get Noir back?
If I'd been able to,
that dud would be here now.
I see.
I wasted all my time listening to
nonsense sweet talk from that hack.
[Ciel] Don't say that.
I'm sure Kanata wasn't
just thinking about Noir,
but was also considering you
when he invited you to the show.
[scoffs]
The only thing he cares about
is the dud inside Mystere.
He hasn't given up on you.
I think he wanted to show you the world
and help you get used to it a bit.
He views humans and Magus equally,
because he's a nice person.
- [sighs]
- Hmm?
I'm not exactly happy about it,
but I guess I see your point.
I'm sure there was a spare bolt here.
- [Mystere] Hey! Hack!
- Huh?
Uh-oh!
Mystere!
[stammers] You're naked!
Listen up, hack.
Mystere admits it.
- Mystere may be the reason
- Mystere!
that dud won't wake up.
- Mystere thought that
- Here, lift up your arms.
Mystere had no attachment to this world.
But that was wrong.
Mystere wants to meet Master again.
And if it's not possible to meet,
I want to find out.
Mystere
Those regrets are probably the reason why
the dud is unable to resurface.
Of course, there is no proof.
None, but
I understand. Then let's work together.
[strains] Even if
there's only a little hope.
Kanata
[Kanata] I'm as anxious as you are.
Don't worry, we'll recover your memory!
I made that promise,
yet I've achieved nothing.
Noir
This is where I met Noir.
Noir was sleeping here.
Next, the basement.
There's a Coffin there that appears
to have belonged to your master.
What? [gasps]
[stammers] No way!
I'm certain there was
a broken Coffin here.
Why's it gone?
- What's the Coffin's number?
- Uh
I'm sure it was VV9
07MC.
What?
Was anything else left behind?
That's it!
This was all that was found
inside the Coffin.
Noir was using it.
She treasured it.
Uh Maybe your master is still alive!
Maybe your master came
to recover the Coffin!
[Mystere] Don't tell lies
that don't make a shred of sense, hack.
I knew it from the beginning.
Master would not abandon Mystere
for any reason.
So
Master must be dead.
Mystere doesn't know
what those last moments were like,
or where Master is resting now.
Even though Mystere was Master's Magus.
Mystere
I wish I could have done a better job.
It's no problem.
Perhaps someone grieved for Master
20 years ago.
I should be grateful.
Why did Mystere wake up now?
If only that dud could have stayed here.
- I'm sorry.
- Hmm?
I don't regret waking up Noir,
but I'm sorry
for the pain I've caused you.
Idiot.
What's the point of apologizing?
[Kanata] I get it!
I get it, but
- Kanata.
- What?
That's why you're a hack.
[both gasp]
[groans, gasps]
Where am I?
Noir!
Kanata.
Mystere
There is another me?
She arrived like a storm,
and disappeared like one too.
In the end, it's not clear
how she's connected to you.
She was a real nuisance.
You don't remember anything
of when you were Mystere?
I remember feeling sad
that I couldn't help Kanata in the battle,
but nothing after that.
I see.
So
Well, I guess I got a little mad,
but I'll miss her a little
now that she's gone.
She didn't even laugh at Histoire.
Perhaps she was nice after all.
Histoire.
- What's happening?
- Huh?
Histoire
That's right.
Histoire!
- What?
- What?
- Get ready, hack!
- Oh, no!
We're going to Histoire!
[Kanata shrieks]
