The hell was this?
What a letdown.
Fucking boring.
Kind of surprised this was all the music it took to send them to hell.
You're such a cultured man, master.
Yeah. And a cultured man uses music metaphors.
They ran all the fucking way from Italy so far out into the boonies it could as well be Mars.
Where are we again, Chinatsu?
The Middle East.
Specifically, an outpost in Oman.
Y'know, I've been thinking.
You're goddamn idiots, but you sure have cojones.
This could be how a legend starts.
I had you down for more.
Carp fishing is more dangerous than you were.
O-Orchestra...
Hey, Chinatsu,
question him!
About what?
You need to ask?
A bigshot in the mafia like him knows full well
that assassins will be on your ass if you take from the hoard.
I guess.
He did it although he knew what was in store for him.
Why? Tell us.
She's got the crazy eyes...
Who knows?
I forgot.
I got a question myself.
Where's your underwear?
You filthy freak.
You assassins are crazy nutjobs.
Just die somewhere.
Don't feel like answering? Too bad.
You're the one who's going to die somewhere.
Can't say it will be pretty.
We're told to put you through as much pain as possible.
My job is to crush your dream of going behind your boss' back and hoping to get away with it.
You motherfucking cunts!
You know what that is?
It's like a music box. Chinatsu's real good with stuff like that.
You'll feel all the bullets!
Assholes!
You're eating it!
Stop this shit!
Bye-bye!
Fuck off!
Orchestra! Wait, Orchestra!
You're not getting away with this!
He's a good singer, isn't he?
What now, master?
Let's get another job done while we're out here.
Is there one?
The end of spring makes assassins rich.
No one wants to get a headache with the fucking summer heat drawing near.
Say, Chinatsu.
Where is your underwear?
Not telling.
Are you that interested?
Don't be ridiculous. Not even your birthday suit would be enough to get me going.
A MILF would be a different story.
Anyway, let's head to the city.
Right.
We have always treaded the borderland
I will adventure with you from here
Anyway, I don't know anymore what to say
We have always treaded the borderland

We are a killing team
Jonah, we've lived longer than you have.
We've got a lot to teach you.
First up are all the greetings from "good morning" to "good night".
Then linguistics, maths, science, social studies,
and general knowledge!
English can be quite tough though.
No yawning in class!
You're not a child soldier anymore.
You've got to level up your humanity as part of my team.
The other eight of my men all have a screw or two loose,
but they're all brilliant people.
Okay, solve the next one.
More or less 300.
"More or less" doesn't work in arithmetics.
You took us off guard at the airport.
It's got a lot of wheels.
22, to be exact.
So how many wheels do three planes have?
Huh? He's taking his sweet time.
A lot.
What's that, Koko?
This? A list of hitmen.
HQ is alerting us to dangerous people around these parts.
It's just the tip of the iceberg, really.
This city has great law enforcement,
so telling us to watch out for assassins is kinda pointless.
You guys would protect me anyway.
Two people calling themselves the Orchestra?
Yeah.
There used to be eight, but seven died.
Another joined a while ago, which makes them a duo now.
They were really tough in their golden days!
In France, they fired over 20,000 bullets at the police during a shootout!
Assassins are after you?
Day in, day out.
You get free hatred for everything you sell.
I've amassed a real supply of it, so I'd like to sell...
But no one wants to buy it from me!
What's up?
I thought you were teaching Jonah, but it sounds like you're having fun.
Fun, you say?
Why are good people spending their day off lazing around in a hotel room?
'Cause it's so cozy...
Let's go out, Koko!
Okay!
I wanted to show Jonah around the city anyway...
But I guess math comes first! Work hard!
Sorry, Tojo! I owe you a case of beer.
And Jonah, don't forget to thank him when classes are over!
Now then.
Restroom.
Jonah?
He's good at ditching class.
The others won't have it easy.
We're taking turns teaching...
Hey, Chinatsu!
Why Italian all of a sudden?
Assassins are supposed to walk with their heads held high.
I see!
Human field of vision is 180 degrees with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
We're cutting it by half ourselves right now.
We're not looking for land mines.
And why are you wearing that lame hat anyway?
It's in your field of vision. Throw it away.
You gave me this hat. I'm not throwing it away.
Besides, you're already looking out. I'll just watch the ground.
Cute!
That boy with the silver hair is cute, isn't he?
Look, master!
He's gone.
Don't get distracted!
The target is near.
Now isn't that wonderful!
The wonders of a country without taxes.
Girls Koko's age would be all over the clothes and make-up,
but I guess this watch matches a nerd girl like her best...
I'm buying it!
I'll buy it for you as a gift!
Valmet, you really don't have to.
Consider it my way of thanking you for going out with me.
A sign of my affection!
Really?
Of course!
Just seeing her face makes me overjoyed! Hell yeah!
You are a woman making a living off selling guns.
You know one day they'll do you in.
Why sell them anyway? Tell me.
I've got nothing to say to some dirty assassin!
Show me you can kill me and I might tell you, Orchestra!
The hell's wrong with her?!
Let go!
Koko!
Something just dropped out of the sky, Chinatsu!
Step back, Chinatsu!
Kill the one-eyed bitch!
Roger!
Fuck you! Fuck you, eyepatch!
Koko!
I didn't realize it at first, but I think that cute kid from earlier jumped into the fray.
Is he protecting the arms dealer?
That Koko woman is pissing me off!
I hate her sort!
I know what you're thinking, Chinatsu.
Show yourself, Miss Arms Dealer!
My apologies that we're just assassins,
but I hope you enjoy our concert anyway!
What are you doing, Koko?!
That's my Jonah! Perfect timing!
You also did this earlier. You laugh in the face of danger.
Don't shoot!
Exactly. It'd be more trouble than it's worth.
What's wrong with you?
Keep your head down.
Nothing's wrong with me.
It's just that attacks like these give me deja vu.
Praying won't make assassin's miss you.
And if they do, they would've missed no matter how often they tried.
I'm an arms dealer anyway.
No use fearing what I sell.
It's really the same kid.
Well, bad girls will stay bad girls.
I feel like blowing her to pieces...
with my Chinatsu Canon Special!
Keep your head down!
Chinatsu, I like how this song is going!
Master, look!
It's standing!
Awesome, Chinatsu!
Time for the next instrument!
Koko, are you hurt?
Valmet!
That fucking hurt!
Valmet!
You're annoying, eyepatch!
Ouch!
It went through!
The shield isn't bulletproof.
Valmet!
Are you okay?
What's with the messup, Valmet?
I had a bad feeling about this.
Can you hear me? They're under fire at the Al Silop mall.
They're fighting Orchestra.
Handguns won't do.
Bring me the usual.
Yeah, that.
Lutz! Climb up the belfry. Take Wiley with you.
Now let's get this over with!
I'm sorry, Koko... It seems I won't be much use this time.
Don't worry. Lehm and the others...
Jonah! Don't, Jonah!
Great! Come, kiddo!
Master!
Why are you getting in the way, Chinatsu?
We don't want to waste a cute kid.
Caught a Jonah.
What are you doing, Lehm?!
I could've gotten them!
Chill, boy.
You always kept a clear head. Look at you now.
You could've gotten them — at the cost of your own life.
Don't rise to their taunts.
You're pissed I stopped you?
I'm more pissed than you.
Little boy soldiers and their way of fighting set me off.
Listening?
We don't die in firefights.
If anything, we let others die.
Get rid of your death wish and replace it with training and more training.
And forget about that boy soldier idea.
I have to say, I do like how you claim to hate arms dealers.
Just go learn the skills we have to teach, but don't get too close to Koko or us.
I guess you could live out your time like that.
Master!
Police snipers? I see they found a new spot.
But that distance...
is easily within our range!
If you wanna take us out, bring a sniper with a kilometer range!
Jonah! Lehm!
I'll go first and cover you.
Protect Koko and run. Can you do that?
Koko, don't let go of my hand.
Roger.
Let's go!
Damn, the bitch blocked it.
There's a lot of stopping power in the .45.
This was such a great chance for an ambush.
You've got some real instincts.
Don't praise the enemy, Lehm!
Heard that, Chinatsu?
The bastard put on a silencer!
Stop playing the wrong notes!
You want to ruin my music, asshole?!
Listen to me, you old idiot!
Go and die, fucker!
Music? You're a comedian.
No, you listen to me.
Did you forget in the heat of battle?
Did you never know to begin with?
Gunfire is just a symphony of farts.
You should be ashamed instead of calling it music!
Blush and apologize to the world for your indiscretion!
This is fun. We've got a professor on our hands.
Whoops. I'm out of bullets.
Ignore this for a minute! The Koko girl has gotten away!
The moment you run out of ideas and bullets, you die.
Shut it! Die in a fire!
Just ignore him and run, master!
You should've used those boom blasters!
Both the 40mm and the AK were out of bullets!
We bought the machine gun emplacement instead!
Oh, right! Oh, right!
We bought some flashy gear to deal with her lackeys!
You're really good, Chinatsu! Cheered me right up!
You're too kind.
By the way, that flying brat wasn't on the list, was he?
So much for accurate intel!
We gotta chop up the source when we're done here.
Agreed!
The hatter girl has the boar under her thumb.
You got that impression too?
She's like a guidance system.
On top of that, she pays attention to everything. She's his aegis.
The hatter is...
dangerously good.
We have to think of a way to separate them.
Okay! Tojo, switch places with Valmet.
Map! Gun! Radio!
The recoil is powerful, so be careful!
Channel 817!
Position of the princess and Jonah!
Position of Wiley and Lutz!
Head to the beach! The beach!
I'm in command.
Everyone! Go! Go!
That kid just now... He had a gun.
Must be a toy.
These Orchestra people really shoot as indiscriminately as the rumors say!
This is pretty hard.
If it's their job to kill people,
then of course they'd happily fire the guns they buy.
Even peaceful people can go crazy when they get their hands on a gun.
Afterwards they can't even understand what led them to do it.
Weapons have that sort of demonic power.
That's what the things you sell are like.
I'm happy that you told me what you're thinking!
It feels like the first time I heard you talk!
I have a bunch of things to say about this,
but right now we should think of a way to turn this situation around.
Assassins possessed by their demonic weapons are on our heels.
Time for the music, Chinatsu!
Orchestra's gonna let their targets enjoy the music of death!
Musica Ex Machina
We're artists!
hikari yo kotaeru mata tsumi
Light shines on my newest sin
sougon no ma ni yurameku ayamachi
and I tremble in the solemn shine
fujou shite iki wo tsuki
I resurface and draw a breath
tokasare majiru dake no tsugunai wo te ni shita
But my salvation faded all too soon
mujun haramu kono sekai no tou
This world, filled with contradictions
omoi tsukashiteru zakuro no me ni
reminds me of a bead of garnet
wataru kumo ne fushi wa mou nai
There is no rhythm in the passing of the clouds
suiheiki no tsuranuku kodou
just a chaotic ripple on the water
