The gravity became unusual. Its inner mass is increasing exponentially.

Geez... Aren't you being late right from the start of the new school term?
If I take the train that leaves in twelve minutes, it'll be fine.
Geez... Really?
Thanks for the food.
It's tough for high schoolers to commute to school.
Cow Milk
Shut it, middle schooler.
Tsubasa, prepare at once.
Okay...
Then I'm off.
See you!

Take care!
It may be a close call, though.

I somehow made it.
Aoba!
I'm here.
Oh, it's been a while.
What were you up to during summer break?
I was in Hawaii.
For real?
Good morning.
Yeah, he really did that.
Good morning!
For reals?

Aoba, seems like you'll be sitting next to Yumihara.
Good morning, Yumihara.
G-Good morning, A-Aoba-kun.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.

It's your first day in the second term,
so be sure to check your schedule.
And your mid-term tests...
Yumihara Hina.
She returned to Japan in April, so she's a returnee, who entered this school.
I don't know the details, but I'd say she's a bit cold towards me, or distant, rather.
Did I do anything bad to her?
Here.
Catch.
Are you all right?
I-I-I'm all right.
Thanks.
N-No problem.
Anyway, why are you so distant—
Watase! Yumihara!
The hell yer doing?!
Uh, um... Not much.
Nothing, really.
Please excuse us.
Ah, dammit.
Aoba wins again?!
He shows no mercy.
All right, I'm next.
Yup.
Aoba, you up to something with that returnee chick?
You mean Yumihara?
Yup. Hina-chan, if I recall.
She's a cutie.
I'm jealous, Aoba.
I've no clue what you're saying.
I did nothing.
But you know what? She's been gazing at you ever since she entered school.
Hey, listen to me when I'm talking!
It's not in the rules to wait.
He's pretty good at basketball, isn't he?
We were in the Basketball Club in middle school,
but I got injured.
I chose this school,
because the rehab hospital was near.
And then Aoba said “me too,”
Look at that!
even though it wasn't even his fault that I got injured.
I was glad,
because after getting injured, I didn't want to go to a far-off school where I don't know anyone.
Don't you think he's a nice guy?
Wha—?
Hey, Yumihara!
What do you see in Aoba?
It's not that I like him.

What's going on?
Where am I?
What are the coordinates?
Did the clock mess up?
It's the year 2014?!
Does that mean...
I leapt through time?
In other words, this is the past?
In that case...
Heh, it really is the past.
What's with this wrecked security?

Yeah, right!
It's definitely you!
Watase Aoba!
I'd never thought I'd meet you here of all places...
Here I come.
What?
What's wrong?
It shows a warning.
Did you feel it shake?
Nah, it must be a false warning.
Maybe.
A-Aoba-kun.
Guys!
Wh-What is it?
Hey, look at that.
What the heck is that?
So he really came.
What's that?
It's huge!
How naïve of you, Watase Aoba!
You never even thought in your wildest dreams that I'd come here, huh?
But it's not a dream!
Run for it!
Damn it!
The hell's going on?!
This way!
Ryuutarou! Junichi!
It's aiming at me?!
Why isn't it hitting him?!
The recognition system is way too imprecise?
I need to target it manually?
I'm out of ammo?!
Why's it aiming at Aoba?
Junichi, I'm borrowing this!
What the hell?
This is the end for you!
What the—?!
If I'm your target then follow me!
Don't you mess with me!!
Hey, something's flying over here!
It's a robot, isn't it?
Everyone, escape!
What the heck's going on?!
So you're fleeing in the narrow places.
You think you can escape from me?
Where'd it disappear to?
Yumihara?
Follow me.
Why's that?!
Why is it you?!
There's no time to talk.
Just hurry up.
Hey!
Dammit!
Damn!
CVP01LA, start up.
Where did she go?
It's the end for you!
The hell?!
Another one?!
Start-up process: all green.
I'm in time!
What's that?!
Wait!
Jump in!
Yumihara?
Hurry up!
No fricking way!
No fricking way!!
Are you really... that Yumihara?
Keep quiet.
Why?
Why's that?!
Why?!
Hina, why you?!
Why you do this to me, Hina?!
I got it. It'll work on the first time.
Farewell.
Incredible!
Ammo left: 2.
The opponent's energy supplier has been extinguished.
Did you defeat it?
Yes.
Wh-Wh-What are you looking at?
Are you all right?
Of course I am!
May I ask something?
Ask what?
Everything.
Okay.
I bet you won't believe me, but I came to this world from the same future as the guy in that robot.
What do you mean?
We're time travelers.
Me...
and him as well.
Then what about this?
Is this robot too?
Yup.
It came from the same future.
But it's rattling all over.
Ever since I came to this time, I've been watching over you.
Over me?
Yep.
Over Watase Aoba.
Always.
The Aoba that I haven't met yet. That's you.

Today — when you were seated next to me — I was really surprised.
I've never even dreamed that a time might come where you'll be sitting next to me.
Good morning!
'Sup?
The seats are changed.
What were the odds?
But I made sure I never got separated from you.
After all, I knew that he'd come to kill you one day.
Why's that?
Well...
because I heard it from you.
Hey, hey, it's becoming a real fuss there.
Aoba, jump off from here.
Huh?
My work is done.
The enemy who was aiming for your life has been defeated.
You are to return to your life as it was up to today.
Just forget about the fact that some people came here from the future.
Hold on, Yumihara, what are you going to do now?
Escape.
I don't want to be caught, you see.
Are you going to return to the future?
I don't know how I could.
All I can do is escape.
You'll just escape? But where to?
Once someone finds this huge robot...
I know!
But I don't have a choice now!
I'm telling you, I know!
Hina, even if I receive a blow or I die, I can still do this!
No way! He's planning to self-destruct?!
What?
We're bailing out!
It won't open!
Hey! We're going to be the ones getting damage like this!
We can't hold on for much longer; it's going to fall apart!
I'd never thought that you'd come, Hina...
I knew that you would come.
Is that so?
Then you know what's in store for us, right?
You're going to die with Watase Aoba and me!
This is...
a spacetime singularity point.
I see.
That's how it is.
Hold on tight!
Hina, what are you up to?
What are you planning?!
I've finally realized it.
That's what fate has in store, huh?
Fate?
It was always so strange.
Why did you appear in front of me?
Why couldn't I ever forget about you?
Yumihara?
Call me Hina.
Hina?
Aoba, have faith in me.
Got it, Hina.
You're quick to put your faith in people...
Are they trying to jump into that?!
It's starting to close!
Here we go.
Aoba.
Looks like we're parting here.
We're parting?
You're going to go to the future now.
To the future?
What about you, Hina?
Dio's waiting for you.
Who's that?
Wait...
What's happening?
Hina, what's going on?!
What the heck's going on here?!
Dio's waiting for you, Aoba.
Hina.
Hina!
Dio!
Dio, can you hear me?
Dio here.
Two units caught me.
It was really tough.
Sorry, I've got my hands full here as well.
Sorry, same here, Dio.
I'll manage somehow!
Dio?
Dio?!
Concentrate your firepower!
Charge your ammo! Catch up with the units!
Our target's moving too fast!
Retreat! All units retreat!
Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion #1 unable to continue battle.
Holy crap!

Do we have to fight these guys without any backup?!

Luxon's Feeding Match System is rising!
What are you saying, Corporal Nasu?
Hey, Mayuka, nobody's inside that, right?
But it's reacting!
Besides, it's matching up with Dio amazingly!
Matching up with me?! Who?!
Where am I?!
