After what happened at the hospital in Russia, the sisters deduce that the hourglass pendant is the Galileo Tesoro that Adnimoon is after. They also figure out that Anna has known about the Galileo Tesoro and has connections to Adnimoon. However she disagrees with Roberto over the way the Galileo Tesoro should be used as the Adnimoon plans to monopolize the Galileo Tesoro and use it as a new energy source. Now that the sisters knew what the Adnimoon wants with them, they were burdened to carry the faith of the world in their hands but that doesn’t stop the sisters because they never want the Galileo Tesoro to fall in the wrong hands and be use in the wrong way. After that Hozuki and Anna had a conversation. Hozuki told Anna that even though she knew about the importance of the Galileo Tesoro in saving the world, she still holds finding the sketches as a priority, and feels bad about herself. Anna told her that it’s just normal for everyone to have different priorities and that hers is about love. Anna told Hozuki about her one-sided love on a man who never noticed her but still wanted to help the man. After Hozuki read the writings in the previous sketch, the next clue sends them to the Caspian Sea with Adnimoon hot on their trail. While Hozuki talks about her love of Japanese culture to a Kansai accent Grande Rosso, they got attacked by Roberto and the Adnimoon. Unable to engage in underwater combat, the Galileo is forced to surface. With the Adnimoon surrounding them, Anna and the sisters are immobilized when the Galileo is badly damaged by Roberto. Outside the Galileo, Anna and the sisters confront Roberto hoping to take him as a hostage and escape as they dare him to take the pendant. However, Roberto knew about their plan and got Hazuki beaten up. In order to save their lives, Kazuki surrenders the pendant to Roberto. Upon taking the pendant, Roberto and the Adnimoon left. Despite having lost the Gailieo Tesoro, the sisters never lose hope and continue their search for the sketches which will eventually help them lead to the Galileo Tesoro. Upon finding the next sketch hidden inside a nearby stone monument, the next clue leads them to Japan. | |||
8 | "Giappone" Transcription: "Jappōne" (Japanese: ジャッポーネ) | November 28, 2013 | |
Before looking for the sketch, the sisters visit their grandfather in Kyoto. During their visit, their grandfather is surprised to see her granddaughters. This is the first time Hozuki and Kazuki meeting their grandfather while Hazuki met him once when she was little during her trip to Japan with Geshio and Sylvia. Their grandfather wonders how Geshio and Sylvia doing. The sisters didn’t want to know the situation they were in right now so they told him that they are fine. After their grandfather heard about their journey from Anna, he is thankful for the help Anna has done for the sisters and asked them to stay for the night. After that the sister’s went to their father’s room with Hazuki hoping to find something suspicious in his room. In there, the sisters found a photo album under Geshio’s bed where they learn about his past and how he met their mom. They also found a sketch of an energy converter that Geshio drew to build for their grandfather. Near the house, the sister saw Geshio’s broken down energy converter and Hozuki goes off to fix up the energy converter. Meanwhile, Anna gets a call from Roberto and is displeased to learn that Roberto plans to kill the sisters once the remaining sketches have been found. During their free time, Anna and the sisters go on a sightseeing trip around Kyoto. Hazuki splits up from the group and runs into Cicinho who is worried for her after he heard what happened with her and her sisters during their encounter with Messier at the Caspian Sea. Wanted to protect Hazuki, Cicinho asked her to come with him in the Black Ganymede. Hazuki accepted his request immediately, to Cicinho’s surprise. Hazuki admits to Cicinho that her ideal of justice is flawed, but Cicinho tells her that she needs power to uphold her justice and that a power shouldn’t be given to those who don’t uphold any ideals. Furthermore, he told Hazuki that she didn’t have to change and she has to stay true to herself. Realizing that Cicinho is a better man than she thought, Hazuki laughs at how serious Cicinho is and thanks him for cheering her up. Hozuki, Kazuki, and Anna went up to meet Hazuki, Cicinho changing his mind and leaves, telling Hazuki that he will be taking her and the sketches next time. After they return to their grandfather’s house for dinner, Hozuki activates the energy converter which prompts their grandfather to use the heater in the house because the energy converter converts the energy he is using in the house in order to conserve energy. While she worries about what Roberto said to her, Anna saw how the sisters are growing more attached to her as they even join her during her bath time and thanking her for the help she did for them. Because of that, Anna continues to question her loyalty to Roberto. On the next day, Anna and the sisters resume their search for the sketch.

Hazuki asked Hozuki when did she planned to move the Galileo Tesoro to Picco Rosso. Hozuki told her that it was during their stay at Germany when Grande Rosso informed her of Anna’s suspicious actions at that time and that Hozuki only took action after the Galileo Tesoro activates at the hospital in Russia. At the trial, Adnimoon presents their case for convicting the sisters for their crimes of hiding the Galileo Tesoro, building weapons of mass destruction, and causing large-scale damage. Hazuki counters with evidence that Adnimoon was secretly building weapons themselves, but the evidence is dismissed after Adnimoon argues that it has no relevance to the case. Adnimoon brings in their final witness, Sylvia, who condemns the sisters and blames herself for being a poor mother. However, Geshio shows up and Sylvia presents damning evidence against Adnimoon to the judge, telling everybody that she faked her amnesia to learn Adnimoon's secrets. Adnimoon is convicted, and Francesco is shot by Roberto. After finding the answer using a hint, Hozuki examines the sketches using the telescope they found with the last sketch and learns how to produce the Galileo Tesoro from them. Anna shows up telling everyone that she found the sketches and the pendant, and the lawyer reveals himself as Cicinho, who takes the pendant and flees. The sisters search for the seventh sketch despite not knowing whether or not it exists, and they find it inside the globe at the ruins of their home. The sketch contains Galileo's drawing of Hozuki. Hozuki realized that everything she made so far is based on Galileo’s sketches in the attic. Aboard the Galileo, the Ferrari family heads to Japan to meet up with the sisters' grandfather to complete the Galileo Tesoro that Galilei has left Hozuki to complete. |
