[Otonashi, Hinata, and Yui are looking for Shiina in the gym storage room to recruit for their baseball team.]
Shiina! Where are you? Come on out! Shiina! [Notices her hiding behind a wall.] Huh?
ShiinaWhat is it?
I was looking for you. You've got great reflexes, right?
Shiina
I wouldn't know about all that.
I know you'd be great for the team! It's baseball! Let's play baseball!
Shiina
Ever since that day, I keep running it over and over in my head how I could've lost to that newbie.
Are you talking about the operation "Parachute" to the Guild? Otonashi's become a legend because he was the only survivor.
Oh, come on. I was just lucky.
Shiina
I just don't get it. I should be stronger than you in every possible way.
Shiina
But if I was inferior to you in any way, it would be in concentration.
Nah, I think you have way better concentration than me.
Shiina
Ever since that day, [Appears fully from behind the wall, balancing a broom with one finger.] I've been balancing this stupid broom on the tip of my finger!
[Whispering, to Hinata] She's a moron.
[Whispering] Yeah, but she's a powerful moron.
Shiina
[To Otonashi] It's perfect timing; let's fight, kid.
How can we fight when you're holding a broom?
Through baseball, of course! Just see who gets voted "Most Valuable Player" or something. But you guys can't fight one on one!
Shiina
Hm. Very well then.
[To Shiina] I don't have to balance a broom, do I?
Shiina
Of course not. This will make the gap in our concentration levels obvious.
It seems we're recruiting nothing but morons!
[Otonashi and the SSS are walking down a corridor and find the third Kanade waiting for them.]
Look out! There's another one.
[Yuri pulls out a pistol and aims it at the Kanade clone, only to have Matsushita stop her.]
It's a waste of your bullets. [Mastushita walks in front of Yuri and charges at the Kanade clone.]
H-Hey! What're you doing?! [The Kanade clone activates Handsonic and stabs Matsushita through the chest while he is blocking her.]
SMSSS Members
Matsushita the Fifth!
G-Go. Get outta here while I'm still conscious!
Wait, you make it sound like you're about to die or something, man!
Hurry up! Take this opportunity to run for it! [Yuri runs ahead of the Kanade clone and the dying Matsushita with the other SSS members following.]
Hang in there Matsushita the Fifth!
[Shouting] The rest is up to you guys!
[Yuri and the other SSS members walk down another corridor after leaving behind Matsushita.]
We won't let Matsushita's sacrifice be in vain. Thanks to him, we learned the best method is to keep moving. Angel is small, so pinning her down is the best strategy. No matter how strong Angel is, Judo lock should work on her. Looks like the day the Judo Matsushita taught us has finally come.
Then we shall sacrifice just one person per clone. Is that not correct?
Looks like we'll be able to save everyone if we can just save the original Angel. Let's hurry.
[Yuri and the SSS members come to another corridor and find the fourth Kanade clone.] They also find a banana in the corner
It's the fourth one...[TK walks in front of the group.]
TTK
It's my turn, dudes. Good-bye and good luck. [TK runs toward the Kanade clone, leaps above it, and is stabbed through the chest.]
Hey! What gives?! It's like we're at the climax of a boy's comic book!
Oh, knock it off! We need to keep moving! [The group encounters the fifth clone.]
The time to show off my prowess has come. [He takes off his shirt and charges at the clone and gets killed.]
SMSSS Members
Takamatsu! [The group encounters the sixth clone.]
Heh heh...I can't chicken out now. [Fujimaki charges at the clone and gets killed.]
SMSSS Members
Fujimaki! [The group encounters the seventh clone.]
Shiina
This is so stupid...[She charges at the clone.] This is just so stupid! [She gets stabbed by the clone.]
SMSSS Members
Shiina! [They encounter the eighth clone. Naoi hypnotizes Ōyama.]
It's time you realized...You're a clown...Lookie, there in the darkness is a lonely little girl...
Oh, no! You're right. [Ōyama gleefully walks toward the Kanade clone.] I've gotta make her laugh!!! [Ōyama is killed by the clone.]
[At Naoi] You're horrible, you know that?
[Nervous] Otonashi, you've got it wrong! Please hear me out! It was a figure of speech! I'll go next! [He gets killed by the ninth clone, but no one says anything.]
Hey, someone say something...?
Nah, I don't even know his name.
[The members of the SSS are in the meeting room discussing what happened after the last operation "Parachute"]
[To Yuri] This is completely unprecedented. I've never seen someone like this before. There's a distinct possibility that she (Kanade) may never wake up.
But that in itself would be irregular! She'll wake up! She'll wake up eventually and act as if she's merely overslept.
Shiina
But who will she be? When she awakens? [Everyone is surprised that Shiina actually spoke up during the meeting.]
That only proves how grave this situation is!
[To Shiina] You're absolutely right. That's the real problem.
So which Angel will it be?
The first one! I say the one we went fishing with!
Yeah, yeah. But the ones that attacked us before were cruel fighting fanatics.
It's one-hundred to one mathematically speaking.
So you're saying that's why she's unconscious? All those minds are gushed together in her tiny head? Wreaking all sorts of havoc like a horde of jellyfish attacking her mind or is it a gaggle?
So, assuming she wakes up, she might wake up as one-hundred different people?
Statistically speaking, there's a one percent chance she'll be the same old her when she wakes up.
I have a plan. I sent Takeyama into Angel's domain. He's with some people who can translate the manual.
Where's T.K. and Matsushita?
The infirmary. They're guarding it.
Surprisingly, T.K. stinks at English.
Let's get this straight: so they're going to delete all the data, change the login password, and steal away all her abilities? But that's merely buying us time. Do you realize that?
Yuri Of course I do. She'll break through our defenses and recreate the data.
[Wielding his halberd] Then why don't we just destroy the computer?
There are plenty of replacement computers available in the computer room. Same for the software.
Huh. Everyone seems really smart today. Did you eat something rotten?
All we can do now is wait. I wonder who will God side with?
