Thin Red Line
It's delicious, as expected of real wasabi!
Real wasabi?
Hey, Char, are you okay?
I'm okay... i-it has a rich flavor.
How much of an honor student are you?
Are you okay?
If you can't sit in seiza-style, how about we move to a table?
I'm fine.
Compared to how much it took to get this seat, enduring this is nothing.
Seat?
It's nothing.
Ichika...
Women are different from guys.
Is that so?
Yes it is.
Ah. Houki.
Why does she look so annoyed?
Cecilia, if it's that difficult for you, why don't I feed you?
I've fed Char earlier—
Ichika!
Sorry.
Is that true?
Will you really feed me?
Eh? That reaction?
After all, it would be a waste not to eat this food that has already been prepared.
Well then, I'll start with the sashimi okay?
Yes!
With a bit of wasabi please.
Cecilia, that's unfair!
She's being fed by Orimura-kun!
Cecilia, you cheater!
That's so unfair!
That Ichika, he completely forgot about tomorrow, the 7th of July.
Are you all unable to eat quietly?
Orimura-sensei.
Orimura, don't cause so much of a ruckus.
It's a pain to stop it.
Alright, I understand.
That said, I'm sorry, but Cecilia, can you eat the rest by yourself?
Although it's not much of a compensation, come to my room later.
Come to your room later?
Ichika-san, could it possibly be?

ano sora de aeru kara
あの空で逢えるから
Because we are sure to meet in that sky
I thought that we were going to be able to play with Orimura-kun, so i prepared all of these.
But he is in Orimura-sensei's room.
It just might be, it just might. I'm glad I brought this with me.
Cecilia is wearing sexy panties!
What? Take them off! Take them off!
Strip her! Take it all off!
Wow!
She really is wearing sexy panties!
Is that lingerie?
It looks so mature.
Cecilia is so perverted!
I'm not perverted at all!
This is just...
it's simply for my appearance.
Yes! It's simply for my appearance!
That was horrible.
But now I can finally see Ichika-san!
Is there a problem?
Orimura Chifuyu
Orimura Ichika
Chifuyu-nee, are you nervous? It has been quite a while.
There's no way I would be, idiot.
Have a little self-restraint.
Yeah, yeah.
Then, what about here?
Not... there... don't...
It'll feel better soon!
Looks like you've been holding it in, too.
W-What is the meaning of this?
Here?
There is... stop...
Sorry, sorry.
Seriously, what were you idiots doing?
So it was a massage.
I'm glad, though.
What did you think we were doing?
That would of course be—
N-Nothing.
It wasn't anything in particular.
He doesn't look like it, but he's really good at massaging.
Why don't you all line up and get one too?
Alright then, Cecilia's up first.
I-I'm first?
I invited you over for this.
Lay down here.
It hurt... it hurts...
Sorry, I'll do it gently.
How do you feel?
If I do it like this, there's no pain, right?
It feels extremely good.
It feels so good that I'm getting sleepy.
I...
Oh? She's wearing lingerie!
Panties which are unfit for your age, eh?
Furthermore, they're black, too.
S-Sensei, please let go.
Don't expect anything sexual in front of your teacher, 15-year-old.
I was joking.
Hey Ichika, go buy me something to drink.
Eh?
Okay.
So, what happened to the usual ruckus?
Well..
It's my first time talking to you like this.
It doesn't matter.
It's time to talk about the main topic.
So what is it that you all like about him?
Well, it is true that he can be useful.
He's not bad with housework and he's decent at cooking. He's also great at giving massages.
Any girl would want to go out with him.
How about it? Do you want him?
You're going to give him to us?
Like I would, idiots.
If you're a woman, then you should try to steal him.
Improve yourselves, brats.
Houki.
Please pull this.
Hey, could this be...?
I don't know. Don't ask me.
Hey! Is it okay to just leave it there?
What are you doing over here?
Well, wait a bit.
You fell for it, Ikkun!
It's been a while, Tabane-san.
Yeah, it has.
It really has been a while.
By the way, Ikkun, where is Houki-chan?
Well...
With this invention of mine, the Houki-chan Searcher, we can find her quickly.
Bye Ikkun! I'll see you again later.
I-Ichika-san, who was that person just now?
Shinonono Tabane-san, Houki's older sister.
Alright, everyone with personal IS suits has been gathered.
Wait a minute, Houki doesn't have a personal suit.
Well..
I'll explain. The truth is—
Chi-chan!
Hey! I wanted to see you, Chi-chan!
Come on, let's hug!
Shut up, Tabane.
As usual, the merciless Iron Claw.
Hey!
Hello.
It sure has been a while!
I wonder how many years it's been since we have met like this?
You've gotten bigger, Houki-chan.
Especially your breasts!
I'll hit you.
Hits hurt! Houki-chan, you meanie!
Hey, Ikkun, isn't that mean?
Uh, yeah.
Hey, Tabane, do a self introduction.
That's such a bother.
I'm the genius, Tabane-san! Hello!
I'm done.
Wait, Tabane?
The inventor of IS and the genius scientist?
Shinonono Tabane.
Now, look at the sky!
This is Houki-chan's personal IS, Aka Tsubaki!
It has top-notch specs that outperform any of the current IS.
That's because Aka Tsubaki is a fourth generation IS that I, the genius Tabane-san, made myself!
It's a fourth generation model?
Other countries have just begun testing third generation models.
But, there's a fourth generation already?
That's because I'm the genius, Tabane-san.
Let's start the personalization now.
Go ahead, Shinono.
Houki-chan's data is already inputted in here to some degree.
All we have to do is add new data.
Amazing! She is typing at an unbelievable speed.
Alright, the fitting is done.
Super fast, as expected of me!
So, to test it, try flying it.
It should move exactly as you imagine.
Alright. I will try it out, then.
What's with this? It's really fast!
This acceleration, is that the power of the fourth generation IS?
So how is it? Doesn't it move better than you'd expect, Houki-chan?
Yeah, it does.
Well then, try using the katanas.
The sword on your right is Amazuki and the one of your left is Kawara. I'll send you the data for the weapons.
Amazuki, let's go!
That's good, very good.
Next, try shooting these down.
Here you go!
She's good.
Amazing!
Yep, that's great!
I can do it. With Aka Tsubaki, I can do it!
There's a problem!
Orimura-sensei!
Look at this.
Special Mission Level A
Start counter measures now.
Stop the test run immediately!
I have something I want all of you to do.
Oh? Who is that person over there?
Shinonono Tabane.
An unknown IS has been identified within the field.
Two hours ago, off of the Hawaiian coast, an America-Israeli joint developed 3rd generation IS,
known as Silverio Gospel, left its restriction area and went out of control.
It escaped from their airspace while under surveillance.
It's an unmanned IS.
Unmanned?
According to satellite tracking, the Gospel will pass through airspace two miles from here.
Fifty minutes after that report,
the high-ranking officials of the school have informed us that we are to deal with this situation.
The teaching staff are going to use the training IS to enclose the airspace.
The core of this plan are those with a personal IS.
Wait, what?
In other words, we have to stop the rogue IS.
Seriously?
Stop being so startled all the time.
We will now begin our strategic meeting.
Those who have questions, raise your hand.
I want detailed specs of the target IS.
Never reveal this information to anyone outside of this room.
If this information is leaked,
all of you will be put on trial by the Summon Committee and be under surveillance for at least two years.
I understand.
It's a special shooting type IS that specializes in long-ranged combat.
Just like my IS, it can do all-ranged attacks.
That IS has high attack power and maneuverability.
It's going to be a pain.
It looks like its special weaponry is going to be annoying.
I have a feeling that its continuous attacks will be difficult to defend against.
Even with this data, we have no idea what its close-ranged capabilities are.
Can't we scout out its capabilities?
That's impossible.
It's still traveling at supersonic speeds.
We only have one chance to approach it.
Just one chance? So this means that we must defeat it with an IS that can defeat in one blow.
Eh?
We are going to destroy it with your Reiryaku Byakura.
We have no other choice but that.
But, the problem is..
...how do we get Ichika close enough to attack it?
He needs all of his energy to attack it, so how can we get him close enough?
It has to be an IS that is fast enough to catch up to its target.
We need an IS with a super high sensitivity hyper sensor.
Wait a minute, I'm going?
Of course!
Don't say it in unison!
Orimura, this is not training, it's a real battle.
If you don't have the resolve, I won't force you.
I'll do it.
I will show you I can do it!
Alright, then among all the personal IS, which suit can reach the highest speed?
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute before going ahead with that plan!
You again?
Chi-chan, Chi-chan, a better plan is now playing inside my head!
Get out of here.
Listen, listen!
This is the perfect chance for Aka Tsubaki to make its debut.
What?
Aka Tsubaki, let's go!
Orimura-sensei, do the higher-ups know that Professor Shinonono is here?
I have contacted them. But stopping the rogue IS is top priority.
Well then, Houki-chan, unfold your armor.
Folding armor is fourth generation IS equipment.
Or simply put, Aka Tsubaki is Yukihira Type 2's evolved form.
Evolved?
I made all of the armor into folding armor!
But yeah, going all rogue in the sea reminds me of that White Knight incident 10 years ago.
The White Knight incident...
10 years ago, one month after Tabane-san announced the IS,
various countries' missiles were hacked,
and a total of 2341 missiles were launched at Japan.
In the midst of the world's confusion, one woman in a white IS appeared.
This IS, which was later named the White Knight, destroyed every missile and disappeared as the sun set.
Almost as if it was an illusion.
I wonder who the one in that IS was?
Right, Chi-chan?
I don't know.
According to my observations, it was someone with a bust of 88 cm.
That's mean, Chi-chan. You'll split my brain in two.
That's great! Now you can think separately with the two halves of your brain.
Ah! That's right!
As expected of Chi-chan! You're so smart!
Returning to the subject,
so Tabane, how long will it take to adjust the Aka Tsubaki?
Orimura-sensei.
What is it?
I'll show you that me and Blue Tears will definitely succeed.
A high mobility package, known as Strike Gunner, has been sent to us.
Has that package been quantum converted?
Well, not yet.
By the way, Aka Tsubaki's adjusting will be completed in just seven minutes.
Alright.
This operation will consist of Orimura and Shinonono pursuing the target to destroy it.
We will begin this operation in thirty minutes.
All members, prepare for battle.
You two make a good pair.
That's not true.
Don't make such an upset face.
Laugh, laugh.
I was born with this face.
Is that so?
Well then, let's quickly finish the adjusting of Aka Tsubaki.
I have to make this succeed no matter what.
I'm the only one who can kill it in one hit.
So this is Aka Tsubaki...
My personal IS...

Something terrible has happened!
Who would have ever thought that a rogue IS would appear?
I wonder if Orimura-kun and the rest are alright?
If only we had personal IS, too.
Yeah. We could chase after them immediately, then.
We can't do that, though.
All we can do is pray.
Next time, "Get Ready". Let's hope that Orimura-kun and the rest can come back safely!
Get Ready
