Nanoha A's Episode 06: It Was A Small Wish (Part 2)
Continuing with the explanation of the Book of Darkness and Volkenritter, the "programs" that are only there to serve the master of the Book of Darkness. Fate seems to think she's like Volkenritter... Lindy replies with an emphatic no, she's an actual living human being. Signum and the others aren't supposed to have any emotions, but Nanoha saw Vita get mad and such, so something's going on... Chrono wants to gather some more data on the Book of Darkness, so he's got a favor to ask of Yuno... As Nanoha walks home she wonders what the master of the Book of Darkness is like. Yuno says (telepathically) that the Book of Darkness goes around randomly, so.. Nanoha wonders what if he/she were a kid around the same age as her. Bingo~ ;) And coincidentally, Suzuka sends Nanoha a pic of her and Hayate, saying that she'll introduce Hayate to her next time.
Hayate says goodbye to Suzuka the next morning and heads back home. Back at her house, Signum, Shamal, and Zafira wait. Vita seems to be out and about again... Shamal's a bit worried about Signum since she senses that her magical powers have gone down, but Signum will be okay. Shamal mentions that Signum's changed a lot -- not just her, but everybody has changed after Hayate became their master. One of Suzuka's maids gives Hayate a ride home -- Hayate explains that she's living with relatives, and every day is really fun for her. It's already been half a year since they came...
..moving back to the day when the Book of Darkness activated. Signum, Zafira, Vita, and Shamal appeared, wearing just black clothes, awaiting the command of their new master.. who is kinda out of it as Vita points out. They end up taking Hayate to the hospital... and of course they look rather suspicious. Hayate covers for them, saying they're relatives who came for her birthday, and the dressed up in costumes and such.. but don't Zafira's ears kinda give him away? (^^;;) Hayate was very different from their previous masters according to Signum. The Book of Darkness was there with Hayate as far as she can remember, but she didn't hear its voice or anything like that as Shamal asks. But she does know one thing she should do as the book's master -- take care of Signum and the rest. Unlike their previous masters, Hayate didn't treat them just as objects to be used or anything, she treated them like her family.
And it's bath time now for Vita and Hayate. After the bath, they all have dinner together. Vita doesn't seem to know how to use chopsticks properly.
Hayate's with Shamal and Signum in the library. Apparently Hayate needs to make suitable clothes for them to use while fighting. Hayate doesn't want them to fight or anything, but she's got an idea, so they all go to a toy store. There, Vita spots that rabbit we've always seen her with. And Hayate does get it for her of course.
And after Vita takes it out of the bag she shows us a big smile. Too cute :) So time went by pretty leisurely for all... Signum carries Hayate out (ohime-sama dakko~) one night and asks her if she wants to gain the power of the Book of Darkness. If she does, she should be able to cure her paralysis in her legs. but Hayate doesn't want to trouble other people, she's plenty happy with things as they are. Though her parents are dead, a friend of her dad's is helping with expenses, and more than anything else she's together with Signum and the rest.
Awwww... so sweet :) Vita comes running up, asking if she can have some popsicles in the freezer. She's still hungry after already eating so much? Well, Hayate's cooking is gigauma (giga-yummy), she says. Not terauma? ;) Hayate does have one command for Signum -- she has no interest in the power of the Book of Darkness and wants everybody to forget about it so long as she's master. She only wants everybody to get along well, that's all.
However, those carefree days were not to last. Hayate's doctor says that the paralysis in Hayate's legs is slowly spreading up her body, and will soon place her life in danger. Signum blames herself for not realizing what was going on earlier... it's the curse of the Book of Darkness. The book has been intimately connected with Hayate ever since she was born, and since Hayate's linker core is still immature the book's strong magical power ate away at her, causing her paralysis. And ever since Signum and the rest appeared the spread of the paralysis has gained speed... Vita wants to save Hayate no matter what, so there's got to be a way. They all start gathering pages to the Book of Darkness, thinking that if it's completed that Hayate can be saved by its power.
Back to the present, Vita is on another world fighting and gathering pages as usual, and she's rather beat up. But that doesn't matter to her. She's not hurting at all. She's doing it all for Hayate...
Chrono, Yuno, and Aimee head to HQ to see some people that can help them out in learning more about the Book of Darkness. They happen to be two catgirls (Graham's familiars) who were Chrono's teachers. One of them jumps Chrono behind a couch and "eats" him (^^;;;) Said girl is also interested in eating Yuno (but he ain't a rat, you know). Chrono wants them to help Yuno in finding out more about the Book of Darkness.
