In order to discover the truth
The evening news doesn't tell you
How many things aren't broadcast
Who loses
Who is obtaining it, and for whose sake
Being pure is a beautiful and dangerous thing
The world that surrounds us won't show itself
All it does is force a different truth from yesterday's on us
At the very least, I will try to change the feeling of the reality that is right in front of me
Into something certain, surely
There will be an indefinite postponement
of all aspects of Ashurum's proposal to redevelop the abandoned city of Gald.
Until the time that talks between the government and all of the parties involved can be resolved,
Gald will be made into a directly controlled district,
and in regards to that said district, all of the twelve corporations, including Ashurum,
will be forbidden to intervene politically or militarily.
Any objections?
None.
This is bad! Our test unit...
It's all right. Leave it to me.
Episode Six Test Site City
Hey, this is fun, kind of like camp.
Just because it's like camping doesn't mean that it's fun.
Aren't you even a little sorry?
They said that it's going to take a week to finish rebuilding the kitchen.
That is... I'm sorry.
It's burning.
What should I do, what should I do?
Ow, hot!
That's enough, hurry up, sit down and eat!
Okay!
Yuuki, let's roast marshmallows afterwards.
We're not going to!
What?
Don't "what?" me!
Ever since he showed up, Asuka has been doing even more unnecessary things.
Since he...
What's wrong, Kai?
Well, I've been feeling kind of under the weather since last night...
Would it be all right for me to leave this?
Are you all right?
Yeah.
If you're going to say something like,
"I have low blood pressure, so I don't have much appetite in the mornings,"
then as long as you live in this house, I'm going to change your lifestyle.
Right.
Yuuki, don't be mean! He might have caught a cold.
I mean, I'm sure he was cold because he was wearing a skirt.
Right?
Sorry about that, Kai.
If that's the case, then you have my sympathy.
That's not it!
Hey, I've been meaning to ask,
but why were you two dressed like that yesterday?
That's...
Does Asuka know that you earn your money this way?
How do I put it...
It's a job.
Asuka asked us why, but...
You haven't told her anything, right? About what kind of work you do?
There's no need to talk about it. More importantly, we have work.
If we don't hurry, we'll be late for the meeting.
I want to ask one thing.
I don't have to dress in drag again, right?
Who knows?
The G-3 pathway... this is it.
"Who knows?"
No, they're burning!
Oh, Yuuki and Kai both left behind so much.
What'll I do with it?
That was scary!
I know!
So we just have to search for this guy?
That's right.
And what do we do if we spot him?
All you have to do is tell me where he is.
That's it?
That's it, but try to not get spotted by him.
I see...
It's an easy job this time.
Kai, you can at the very least find a lost cat, right?
I don't have to go in drag, right?
You're pretty persistent.
For a job like this, you search on foot.
Squint your eyes and take a hard look at the city.
There's more to it than just searching here and there.
After all, on a case like this, they can be unexpectedly close.
If you can get a hold of some information, then afterwards, you just have to head there.
I see.
And all it cost us was a box of candy. This is great.
Kai!
What are you doing, all of the sudden?
I've spotted him.
Please stop!
We didn't see anything!
We won't tell anyone!
Help us!
Hey, now, having a fight in the middle of the day?
Not good! We've been spotted.
What'll we do?
The client said to not get discovered.
We've been spotted, so there's nothing we can do.
Well, it's an emergency situation.
Besides, the client won't get mad if we just bring the guy in.
You think so?
It was an easy job. Let's add a little bit extra.
Hey, hello there. You see, there's a person that's looking for you.
So I was wondering if you'd come with me for a bit.
Wait, Yuuki.
What is it?
That's...
Wouldn't it be best to run?
It would.
No one ever said that it was a Branded!
Branded are programmed to complete their missions without letting anyone find out.
That's why, if there's a witness, that witness is perceived as a new target.
In other words, they'll follow them to the depths of hell.
Yeah.
But why is a Branded in the city of Gald?
He came to fight, right?
I'm kidding.
There are rumors that some corporation is holding secret experiments.
Using Branded?
Yeah.
The corporations make new weapons and send them into Gald,
where they can rage as much as they want.
If they come back safely, then the experiment was a success.
No way!
Well, anything goes in this city, after all.
In any case, it looks like we're all right for now,
but there's no way we can get away from him.
We have to think of some way to take him out.
Yuuki, Branded are...
I know. You want to say that he's a human too, right?
But he's been thoroughly programmed as a killing machine.
Who's calling at a time like this?
If it's the client, I'm going to complain.
Hello?
Yuuki? Where are you right now?
I made lunch for both of you.
I was thinking that maybe I could deliver it now.
We don't have the time to eat!
What? But...
After I went through all the trouble to make it...
Listen! We're really busy right now!
So don't come here, no matter what!
I came anyway.
"I came anyway," my ass!
Get back, Asuka.
It looks like you've been perceived as a target too.
What are we going to do?
We don't have any choice.
If we don't, then it's all of us instead.
Here he comes!
What?!
Let's run for it, Asuka!
Asuka?
I hate dark places.
You saw that thing earlier, right?
If we escape to the surface, then Gald would be smashed into pieces!
Who was that man?
He's a Branded!
He's not a human?
Most of his body is cybernetic,
but he's human too.
Jeez.
You look after Asuka.
If you use your powers and end up collapsing or something,
all you'll do is slow us down.
We'll need powerful weapons. The place closest to here is...
That one's the closest, is it?
There it is!
We're taking this up.
Hold tight, Asuka!
Wait, Yuuki!
Get Kai to go up first.
Why?
Well...
Hey, Kai! Hurry and climb up!
Right.
No, no, don't!
No!
It was my bad, okay?
I'm telling you, this is no time to be crying, right, Asuka?
Bingo! I have a good memory!
All right...
What are you going to do with that?
What, you ask? I'm going to shoot him.
Because you're probably not going to be of any help.
Asuka, don't go to sleep during an emergency!
I'm sorry...
When will I be able to meet your head?
Grandf... Mr. Erimiya and the leaders are hiding themselves in a safe place.
You're still new to our organization, so...
There's been an explosion at the warehouse district!
I've heard.
Should I go?
No. There's no need to send you.
We still haven't determined if it's Ashurum.
We've sent off several scouts to confirm it.
How about sitting down and waiting for the report?
Where did he go?
Even he was originally a human.
If we kill him, then we're also...
So how will you take care of the Branded?
Don't tell me you're going to get him to go home by talking to him.
The platform!
Earlier, you said that "Branded were humans too," right?
Even if it is as you say, and they're humans and not murder weapons...
Take a look.
Are you going to leave it like this?
Kai?
Hey!
Run, Asuka!
Move it!
Hurry!
Just hide, Asuka.
You're pretty good.
I just stopped him. I don't want to kill him.
Do whatever you want.
Damn it!
Kai!
Did you kill him?
If you take away its ability to attack, a Branded will go silent.
What's wrong?
Kai?! What's wrong?
Kai?!
Kai!
Hey!
Kai!
Was he programmed to disappear before his true nature was discovered?
The poor man.
Don't worry about him.
He probably had no idea about anything he did.
It's just as Yuuki says.
It's true that he was programmed to execute his mission, but...
But...
Ashurum is different.
We haven't been brainwashed or anything.
He's showing us quite a good time.
It didn't reach the reaction velocity that Yeager from Cytechs Corporation predicted.
Yeah, that's fine.
Sir?
I have no interest in the other companies' junk.
You can leave.
Yes, sir!
Thanks for the meal.
Does it taste bad?
That's not it. Just...
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
You used your power and saved us, so you're probably tired.
You're so troublesome.
I'm grateful that you saved us,
but you get worn out every time you use your powers,
and you make me feel like we're constantly in your debt.
Sorry...
It's nothing to worry about!
Come on, Yuuki!
He saved us, so you shouldn't say things like that!
This really is wearisome...
That's it!
Starting tomorrow, I'll cook for you!
What?!
Yuuki, you're hurt, so it would be best for you to not push yourself, right?
Hey, wait a second, Asuka! Why does it have to be like that?
It's all right, you don't have to hold back.
Kai, what do you want to eat?
What are you going to destroy this time?
That's mean!
The two of us had already started to get wet from the rapidly pouring rain
We snuck out in a hurry, throwing away everything
We wrapped our fingers together so that no one else could see it
That's our secret sign
So take me away from here, take me right away
Tonight midnight
So don't stop anymore, touch me right away
Tonight, it's true love
The night that can't return is going to begin
Who is this power for?
What is this power for?
For justice? Or for evil?
Burning and seething passion will not even allow that decision to occur.
Just pushing towards the goal single-mindedly,
no matter what kind of destiny awaits you.
