Chidori...
Chidori is...
...dead?
Sousuke.
I'm sorry, but we had no choice but to tail you.
Mao and the others are engaging Venom now.
And they don't have the ability to combat against it properly.
I've just updated the Danaan with our coordinates.
It seems the Arbalest will be dispatched here immediately.
Please go!
If this continues, we'll have no chance of winning!
You of all people should be aware of that!
She's dead.
It's his curse.
Letting Chidori die...
For letting me kill him with my own hands.
What's left for me now?
Kaname-san is?!
I had no future to begin with.
Killing indiscriminately... Dying indiscriminately...
Humans are nothing but lumps of flesh!
Do you really mean that?
Do you know those are the same words terrorists use?
Are you aware of that?
I see.
In that case, you are no longer our comrade.
Corporal!
A soldier who has lost his soul is no different from an assassin!
There's no way I can let him go like this!
You don't understand.
Yes, I do.
I wonder about that.
How hideous.
Sending that thing here is pointless.
I can't use that after all.
And no intention of using it either.
That's right!
Just stay there and rot.
Where do you think you're going?
I'm asking you, "Where do you think you're going?"
Eh?
Don't "'Eh" me!
Chido... ri.
Don't "ri" me either!
You're... still alive?
Wha- ?!
Don't you say "what?!" to me!
Well?! Do you know how much trouble I had to go through just to come here?!
And to think that up until just now, I was prepared to make a dramatic entrance and leap into your arms too!
But look at you!
"You're still alive?" That's it?!
I am so pissed off right now!
You totally ruined the atmosphere!
What are you going to do about this?!
How do you plan on taking responsibility for this?!
Huh?!
W-Wait a minute, Chidori!
I'm a bit lost here...
Shut up!
Is it painful?
It's painful, right?!
That's the pain in my heart!
Next, this is...
the pain in my body!
And...
this is...
the pain in my soul!
She's a monster.
What was that?!
What on earth... is going on?
It's obvious, isn't it?
I came to bring you back!
After that near death experience, I thought about a lot of things,
and decided to say them out loud properly for once!
In other words, I'm...
You...
Me?
That's why...
I...
I-I'm the class representative!
Huh?
Huh... looks like it really only takes a day to lose your determination.
Just what are you trying to say?
Forget it!
Mr. Hunter told me everything!
Mao-san and the others are fighting now, right?!
So what are you doing in a place like this?!
But I...
What?
I can't pilot that unit anymore.
Besides, I...
...abandoned you.
Is that why you can't fight anymore?
I don't know.
So you've given up on everything?
I don't know!
I know.
Eh?
You're tired of all this, aren't you?
And you can't bring yourself to say it.
Sousuke, you're always so serious and timid.
That's why you can't take anymore, right?
Me?
No, I'm...
You're a good-for-nothing...
a coward... incompetent... a weakling.
But you're powerful... and very kind.
Even though you're good for nothing, somehow, you take care of things.
I thought you were that sort of person.
The weak leech off the strong.
I'm...
Is it fun to mix around with the weak?
...a good-for-nothing?
You are, aren't you?
I'm sorry, Chidori!
I...
W-What are you?
Shut up!
Everyone's in danger, right?!
And your school credits are too!
Hurry up and go settle everything!
This is Perth-1 to Uruz1.
Move back three blocks to the south.
Do your best to lure it there!
Roger!
The enemy must be tired as well.
As long as we persevere, there's a chance of winning.
"As long as we persevere," huh?
Damn it!
Don't...
...waste my time.
This is Uruz-1 to Perth-1.
This is Perth-1.
What's wrong?
Venom...
Five Venoms have appeared.
We finally meet again, Yuifan-chan!
Rampaging as you please in an area outside of our plan...
Just what do you think you're doing?
Unless the outbreak of war happens according to plan, it's not good, you know.
That's why...
things like this trouble me!
I'm happy to hear that then.
Huh?
The civil war that destroyed our hometown was also engineered by Amalgam, right?
As long as we can take revenge on you, both my younger sister and I will be satisfied.
Your younger sister, huh?
Oh! That's right!
We have a special guest tonight!
Here we go! The touching meeting!
Here! It's your younger sister!
I brought her along especially for you.
But she doesn't seem too well!
Oh, Yuilan-chan, what's the matter with you?!
"Well, I'm really depressed because I've been captured by the almighty and sexy Gates-sama."
"But I'm very happy... because I'm finally able to see my sister."
I see. I see.
I'm really happy for you.
"Say sister, let's stop fighting already."
"'Fighting won't end anything!"
"Besides, I'm falling head-over-heels for Gates-sama..."
Huh? Oops, I'm so sorry. I think I broke her arm!
You bastard!
You're way too inexperienced!
Disintegrate!
Oh, that felt so good.
Well then, you over there!
You're a soldier from Mithril, right?
I have no business with you today actually, but...
Oh well, you must be down on your luck!
Bel, run away!
Don't come here!
It's already too late!
All right, Mr. Pitiful Sheep, have you finished saying your prayers?
Well then, adieu!
What?
Who fired that shot?
Was it you, Weber?
Nope, it wasn't me.
This can only mean one thing. He's finally made his appearance.
And with such good timing too.
Hey, aren't you being way too cool?!
It would seem so.
This is Uruz-7 to all units.
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
You may leave the rest to me.
Arbalest?
It's functioning now, right?
Affirmative. The Lambda Driver is functioning properly now.
Working at times and not working at other times. What an unreliable contraption.
I think so too.
You seem to be better at making jokes than me.
Affirmative.
And abusive language as well.
This is Perth-1 to Uruz-7.
Are you back in good shape?
That's an affirmative.
In that case, do as you please.
Roger.
There are a total of five Venoms.
I would run away usually, but...
No, we can take them on, Sergeant.
That's right! Let's go!
Roger.
Let's take down one first.
Spread out!
You assholes!
No way! How can he do such a thing?!
Two down!
Proximity alert.
You good-for-nothing piece of shit!
With this, three down.
Don't say it before me!
Damn it!
Four down!
Crap!
Stay away!
Stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away!
Or else, I'll kill the pilot!
Don't you dare move!
Bel!
What the hell is going on?!
Isn't Mithril's Lambda Driver supposed to be unstable?!
And yet, how can you be so powerful?!
You bastard!
Who the hell are you?!
Who am I?
If you want to know, then let me tell you.
This has nothing to do with Mithril.
I am a student from Class 24 of Jindai Municipal High School in Tokyo!
Hey! Hey!
I have a hostage...
Student Number 41.
I'm in charge of garbage and umbrella duty.
Hello?!
I am Sagara Sousuke!
It's a bit too short, huh?
Even though I told you to believe in your own strength,
you've gone way overboard this time, Sergeant!
Excuse me, Lieutenant.
All threats have been neutralized.
Sergeant, I have a question for you.
Go ahead.
Everyone seems to be taken aback by the battle just now.
If possible, would you please tell me the reason why?
I've solved a tiny problem.
That's all.
Was it your problem?
No, the problem was ours.
I do not understand the meaning of your answer.
You'll just have to think about it, partner.
This is Uruz-7 to all units.
All Venoms have been defeated.
Returning to the Tuatha de Danaan now...
Correction.
Uruz-7 will continue onto the next mission now.
I will leave the Arbalest here, so please retrieve it.
If you don't hurry, the local army will take it away.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean, "the next mission"?
She's waiting for me.
That will be all. End of transmission.
Wait, Sergeant!
You're defying orders again
l'm completely lost.
What on earth is going on?
Well, that's how it is.
That's good too, I guess.
Well, no one predicted that things would have turned out like this.
We can't ignore the potential of that unit.
Yes...
Her power has contributed to them both...
That soldier... and that object of art.
Oh my.
Thank God Hong Kong wasn't engulfed in a sea of fire.
Where are Sagara and Chidori?
They've returned to Tokyo.
That's against orders.
In that case, you're to blame too, for bringing her here.
Oh well, the rest will be decided by the Intelligence Department.
Merida Island
To think that you would rebel by threatening us like this.
I've never felt more anger in my life than today, Sergeant.
General Amitt, he's the only one who's capable of using the Arbalest.
Be quiet, Captain.
As the head of the Intelligence Division, approving his demands is out of the question.
General, sir.
I am merely suggesting that the contents of the contract be altered.
Should you be displeased with it,
I will pay my dues and take my leave of this fleet.
How dare you say such things, Sergeant!
Do you honestly think that you can live the life you want by making an enemy out of me?
Then please allow me to ask you this.
General, sir. Do you think I am not prepared for that?
What did you say?
Listen carefully, General.
I don't remember selling my soul to Mithril!
I will do the things I want in my own way!
That's all.
I will continue to pilot the Arbalest from now on.
But in exchange, you'll have to let me attend that school again.
Just like how it's been.
Also, you can cut my salary in half!
Are you still unhappy with that?
Watch your mouth, Sergeant!
Sergeant?
I'm nothing but a mercenary.
What are you lecturing a mercenary for?
Save such lines for your pet dog.
You bastard!
Minister Mallory?
You've lost, General.
An essential member of the SRT,
which carries out vital missions, is saying that he will work for half his salary.
We can't be upset at that.
Don't you think so too, gentlemen?
Well, I guess so.
Even though I wouldn't fully consent to it...
Are there any other opinions?
That settles it then.
Captain Testerossa, it must be hard on you to have so many subordinates who have such peculiar habits.
No, sir.
My subordinates are the best.
Also, Sergeant.
You're called Sousuke Sagara, am I correct?
Yes, sir.
I shall remember your name.
That will be all for today's meeting.
Well then, gentlemen, farewell.
You sure had me breaking out in cold sweat, Sergeant.
Please don't give me any more undue stress.
Yes, sir.
Please pardon me.
Seriously...
Are you satisfied now?
Yes, sir.
You have the face of a man now.
I'll treat you to something later on.
I have yet to say it, haven't I?
Huh?
I'm really sorry about what happened the other time.
No.
I am really sorry, too.
It's okay.
I forgot my position... and I must have depended on you too much.
But..
that's why...
We...
...we're still friends, right?
Friends?
Captain.
Yes?
If you acknowledge me as your friend, can you please allow me to make some casual remarks?
Please do.
Tessa, I'm really sorry for everything!
You're an incredible person.
You're more than a superior officer to me...
that is... you are much more important than that to me.
I-If anything should happen, I will definitely come to your aid.
Please remember that...
P-P-Pardon me!
A-A-As expected, that was way too impolite!
But those are my true feelings!
W-Well then...
"Tessa..."
Tessa?!
He called me Tessa!
Oh no! What should I do?
He said I'm important!
Oh my god! Oh my god!
Seriously!
If things like this continue to happen, I can't cover for you each and every time, you know!
Yes, ma'am. I'm ashamed!
Seriously.
Thank God you wrote the letter to me.
Even though there was also the incident with my car the other day, with the way things are now...
What?!
What are you trying to do?!
Please don't move!
What?
There's a laser sight aimed at you!
Excuse me.
What?!
There's a laser sight!
What are you doing, Sousuke?!
Get down, Chidori! There's a laser sight...
This feels really good.
I've had to keep an eye on her in this cold weather.
So it's only fair that you suffer a bit as well.
It's going to be winter soon.
Why do you have to create trouble the moment you come back?!
Have you given any thought to how Sensei and I will have to deal with it?!
No, I...
Don't make any excuses!
You really haven't improved at all!
You always, always... always, always...
...ALWAYS, ALWAYS...
...always, always... always, always...
always...
Things will be like usual from now on, right?
Chidori?
Deserting me like that and running away on your own...
Who do you think you are?
I will never forgive you.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
You idiot!
I was scared...
I was really scared, you know!
I don't want to go through something like that ever again.
You idiot!
I'll... never forgive you!
Hey. It's Kana-chan and Sagara-kun.
What are the two of you doing in a place like this?
O-Oh, it's you, Tokiwa.
We aren't doing anything...
Hey! Kana-chan, are you crying?
Sousuke, he...
What?!
Sagara-kun!
You must have done something violent to Kana-chan again, saying things like "It's a bomb", right?
What?
No, this is...
It's not manly to give excuses!
That's right!
You're the worst!
Chidori?
All I did was...
What?!
Oh well, I'm fine with that, I guess.
It's nothing.
No problem there.
What's that supposed to mean?
Speaking of which...
When we were in Hong Kong, weren't you trying to say something?
What were you trying to say?
Oh, that was...
The Continuing Days
It was nothing.
I see.
