SHOOT, MICHEL!
Oh my, magnificent!
Truly a nymph!
Can you give me a look this way, Miss Sheryl?
Documentary or whatever the hell it is, why does it have to cut into our practice time?
I appreciate you gentlemen donating your practice time.
What?!
Once I heard such a beautiful lady as you had a problem, I could not leave the matter alone,
Miss Grace.
You're quite skilled in flattery.
It's no mere flattery!
You are truly beautiful.
Um, Mister...?
Michel.
That is what all my close friends call me.
Michel Braun...
I see, so you're...
You know of me? I'm honored.
Um, it was unfortunate...
...about your older sister.
Hey Michael,
why did you friggin' let Sheryl into our team?
Let's not go there, Alto-senpai.
We are on a mission right now, officially.
I've had it up to here with this guy's careless way of doing things!
Answer me, Michael.
If you're doing this for a chance at Sheryl's manager or some half-assed crap like that, I'm gonna kill you!
Shut the hell up!
Who're you calling half-assed...
You, the princess who ran away from home to play war as a hobby...
Michael, you bastard!
Mayday! Mayday!
This is New Federation Military, Amber-3!
We've encountered Vajra!
Request support!
I'll hold'em down!
Who the hell'd play war as a hobby?!
Luca, send me your ghosts' data.
Roger.
While that idiot acts as a bait,
I'll clean up with sniping!
Alto, stop the Vajra from moving!
I can't get a steady shot.
I know! Geez!
You're mine!
Keep holding him just like that.
I'll clean him up right now!
I don't need you to back me up!
I'll take him alone!
Just leave it to me.
With women and bullets, I do one shot, one kill.
...it was unfortunate about your older sister.
Michel-senpai, the Vajra!
Michael, you bastard!!!
What're you trying to do by shooting a comrade?!
You brag about one shot, one kill...
Was it on purpose?!
Of course not!
A Vajra nest?
Yes.
In a nearby region of space, a small scale nest.
Or, we think, there may even exist a forward base.
But in these repeated battles, various resources, especially the supply of water, have become uncertain.
Our problems are not confined to the Vajra, you know.
However, it is the Vajra that have brought poverty.
They are a threat not only to Frontier, but all Humanity.
We must learn more about them.
Am I wrong, Mr. President?
It's been worrisome lately with so many deployments.
What are you talking about, Nene?
Going against the Vajra is easygoing in comparison.
Huh?
The previous generation fought our Zentraedi compatriots.
Not everyone chose the path of coexistence with Humanity.
Friendly fire is no joke, dammit.
You trying to kill me?!
How dare you ignore me.
Say something!!!
You musn't, Alto-senpai!
Everyone makes mistakes!
I'll be damned if I'm going to die from a mistake!
And this bastard doesn't make mistakes!
He boasted his sniping sense was inherited from his big sister, you know!
Are missed shots in your blood, too!?
BASTARD!
Say that one more time!
I'll say it as many times as you want!!!
That sniping sense you're so proud of is just cross-eyed dumb luck!
Big Sister!
What?!
Dammit, screw you!
Stop.
Please stop, Michel-senpai!
Dammit.
Dammit!
Dammit!!!
Michel...
Saotome-kun and the others got the day off, it seems.
Yeah...
They said their afterschool job is really busy.
I see...
That's too bad.
Yeah...
Ranka-san?
Huh?
W-What is it, Nana-chan?
Will you be able to work at Niang Niang today?
Sorry.
I have a strategy meeting soon.
Strategy... meeting?
The boss said he thought of an innovative promotion method.
Two weeks to heal completely.
It was Michel?
Looks like you two went at it pretty hard.
He's a screw-up!
In every damn thing.
He just sneaks around, shooting from the shadows.
And he can't even do that !
If he just wants to get paid and laid,
he should just get a class 2 license already and fly a passenger liner!
Why the hell is he in a place like this?!
Does there have to be a reason?
What?!
Essentially, everyone's got their demons.
You're the same, too, aren't you?
It's already bedtime, you know.
Can't sleep?
If you're just being nosy, give me a break, Klan.
I'm not in the mood to play.
I simply...
...thought you were thinking about Jessica...
Nothing to do with that.
I probably can't get to sleep 'cuz lying alone is too lonely.
Yet again, you say something like that...
Or what?
Klan, are you saying you'll join me tonight?
Heh, guess it's impossible.
If I lay a hand on you when you're micronized, I'd get arrested for statutory.
What the hell're you doing?!
Jerk!
"To not let them forget Galaxy"?
Yup.
The public is capricious and forgetful, after all.
"Galactic Nymph takes up arms for her homeland."
That's got impact, right?
'Cuz it's so lame, yeah.
Silence.
And I wanted to try going to school once.
Once?
I mean in Frontier.
Besides, what about you?
You're already in the army.
It's not the army!
It's SMS.
From my point of view, it's the same.
So why are you going to school?
Or rather, why did you join SMS in the first place?
Who're you calling half-assed...
You, the princess who ran away from home... ran away from daddy... to play war as a hobby...
I'm not running away...
I...
Alto.
Has Michel not come back yet?
Yeah.
I'd heard he said he was going out for training, but who knows...
Alto,
do you like Michel?

Um, excu-
Huh?
According to the scientists, there's a high possibility that something like their "nest" is in this space.
The mission this time is to find that, survey it, and if possible, take it home.
We'll split up and tackle the search.
Fastest to it wins.
Work hard!
Understood!
Michel...
Are you sure about leaving them alone together?
A sniveling sniper and an attacker, who can't trust his backup, are both useless!
Purple-1,
destroy alpha-1104 nest and prevent sample retrieval.
Yeah.
A shipwreck?
Bingo!
Please give me a chance.
My name is Ranka Lee.
Please give me a chance.
What?!
No one's going to bother us here.
Want to finish what we started yesterday?
Michael...
Klan!
I'm going in.
Cover my back!
Who are you?!
That machine...
No doubt about it!
Klan!!!
Too slow!
Don't understimate me!
There!
Got'im!
He's too fast...
Klan!
Damn monster...
How boring.
I'll be the bait!
I heard the story.
One shot, one kill, right?
Both you and your sister Jessica!
Klan?
That meddler!
Damn, he's good at bringing 'em into my field of fire!
Don't play games with me!!!
Eat this!!!
Michael!
Shoot!
Surpass your sister!
After losing his parents early, Michel was raised by his big sister Jessica.
They were really close.
How do you know this?
We were childhood friends, Michel and I.
Jessica was a top class sniper.
But on one operation, friendly fire...
...she shot a comrade...
...He was her commanding officer and the man she'd been having an affair with.
Had been?
Talk about bad timing...
He had broken off the affair just before that.
You don't mean...
Yeah, because of the suspicion that Jessica did it out of passion instead of accident,
she was court-martialed.
And she took her own life.
Michel may have always been searching...
...for the truth of that friendly fire.
Mi...chel...
Shoot, Michel!
You have to shoot!
SHOOT!
MICHEL!!!
Note: "Repose en paix" is French for "Rest in peace."
I... still don't know...
...what you were thinking at that moment as you pulled the trigger.
Michel-senpai!
Good morning.
I'm surprised you didn't run.
Heh.
I'm surprised you took the shot.
We'll be late for class.
Let's get going already, Michel.
Eh?
Yup.
Just now... I'm sure he said "Michel".
But... someday I may know.
Right, Sis?
The secret memory of Humanity's first meeting with the Protoculture...
...after half a century, comes to life again now.
Next time, Legend of Zero.
Song of Legend, echo throughout the Galaxy.
