We've been riding for a while now. How much longer until we get there?
Moura says it's beyond the mountain pass ahead.
Can you not go any faster?
The engine isn't doing too well... This is the max.
That cannot be true!
For it is a bleeding-edge engine, the pinnacle of the Valov family technology.
Yeah, yeah.
Blame this hulking monstrosity you call the "R7"!
And why are you tagging along, anyway?!
If I were not protecting you, you would weigh heavy on my mind.
Did you just call me overweight?
That's right!
Y-You what?
Moura?
Moura!
Not this crap again!
We must be getting close to the Altar of Abyss.
#07 Place of Warmth
My back's killing me...
My throat is parched.
Otto!
Here.
Nice.
It is I, Roman.
Oh, Vee...
Thank goodness! I finally got through!
Where are you right now?
This pay phone is gobbling coins like there's no tomorrow.
Uh, well...
Eh? Put Sogo on?
Hello?
Hey, where'd my water go?!
Burp.
It disconnected?
It was you?!
Thanks, I really needed that.
How dare you?
That was delicious.
Give me back my water!
Say, Kaon...
In your dreams!
So nice and cold.
Ah, we are blessed to find a spring here!
Something wrong, Felia?
No, it's nothing.
He's wounded, so he has no choice but to hide and wait for rescue.
Don't let him escape.
Over here! I see bloodstains!
You didn't flee?
That's right...
With you by my side,
I might still get to see a lot of good things...
Good things?
Don't you mean "good for nothing"?
As long as I'm with you,
I don't care either way.
Message from Honeybee!
Decoding.
Can we trust this Honeybee?
Yeah.
If you say so.
Adjust route northwest.
Roger that!
Jeez, the sun's going to set...
Time to call it a day, I suppose.
All right!
I shall put my extraordinary culinary skills to use for all of you.
Yay!
Oh, what a mouth-watering aroma.
Très bien!
That looks amazing!
Hurry up and make some for us, too.
It's a poisonous mushroom!
I am Lieutenant Colonel Jude Pryce, of the Eighth Division Special Corps.
I would like the Council's opinion on a certain matter.
Very well.
Thank you for granting me permission to speak.
The matter I would like to discuss concerns Secretary Gulf Zoneboyle.
I was under the impression that the Eighth Division and the Administrative Bureau
were to be a united front against code name Lima.
However, Zoneboyle's actions of late have been out of control.
What do you, the conscience of the Bureau, make of this?
Can it be fixed?
Yeah. I'm almost done.
I'll have it back on the road in no time.
That's a relief.
Having trouble sleeping?
Yeah.
You know, I was pretty worried.
I'd had a bunch of harrowing experiences,
and nothing made any sense at all.
Things might get even worse from now on, too.
But I get it now.
I'm not alone.
No matter what happens, we're all in this together.
We'll protect you, Felia.
Okay!
My mushroom!
Otto, that mushroom is mine!
Well, uh...
Don't worry...
I'm sure things will work out.
Thanks, Sogo.
I'll believe in you all.
Okay, repairs complete...
We have another long day ahead, so we'd better get some sleep.
Okay.
I'm glad you're all better now, Air Rider.
Felia!
What's the matter?
I saw a glowing butterfly...
Visual on target.
Found you at last.
This way, Felia!
Not on my watch!
You messing with me?
I missed you, you bastard!
Roman!
Get up, Roman!
You have some nice dance moves!
Quit struggling.
Just stay there, and I'll put you out of your misery in no time.
Th-This bastard...
You okay?
Yeah.
How dare you?
Pack, you go after Lima.
Huh?
This guy's my prey!
Aren't you gonna let me kill him?
Get going.
Whoa, there...
You wanna go, too?
In that case,
you'll have to do it over my dead body.
I know you well.
Too well, even!
Looks like this will be a wonderful night!
Where'd you go?
Where'd you run off to?
Sogo...
It's all right.
I'll protect you, no matter what.
Lima...
Found you.
Felia...
This way!
Come on, run for your life!
Or else you'll get shot, you know?
I'll shoot you, you know?
That's as far as you go!
Run for it, Sogo! Felia!
Felia!
Okay.
Why, you little...
Bring it.
That's the way. Let me feel your fists!
Roman Dynamic Special Dynamite!
He dodged it?
You think this is a joke?
No way.
I knew you'd come.
I've been waiting for you, mademoiselle.
Do you hate me?
Or do you hate your powerless self?
Hey, you know it isn't safe over there, right?
So come on.
Leap into my arms,
my mischievous little kitten.
What?
What's their deal?
Al, can you get a reading?
My mademoiselle!
Damn it... Useless moron.
What now?
Apparently, the Council wishes to meet you at the Berberine resort.
It is likely due to Lieutenant Colonel Jude Pryce's complaints.
I have the greatest respect for the vast wisdom and knowledge of the elders.
However, that very wisdom might sometimes stand in the way of our ambitions.
It's so peaceful.
Yeah, especially compared to how lively it usually is.
I haven't enjoyed such calm in a long time.
Delicious!
I love times like these.
If I may ask, why do you run a café?
A long time ago, one of my friends praised the coffee I made.
As a soldier, I always thought
my hands were filthy and good for nothing but hurting people.
That isn't—
But that friend...
She said to me,
"Your hands have the magical ability to make delicious coffee."
What is she up to now?
I have a friend who's well-versed in internal affairs.
He told me that
she'd disappeared from this world, to cover up a top-secret case.
I'm so sorry! That was insensitive of me!
It's fine.
But you know,
I swore to protect Sogo, the legacy she left behind.
So let's drop the act, Agent Honeybee.
Could you tell me where Sogo and the others are?
Where am I?
Guys!
Kaon! Kaon!
Thank goodness.
What in the world happened?
I'm still alive...
Ow...
Where's Felia?
Moura isn't here, either.
Felia!
Moura!
Felia!
I can't believe a place like this exists...
Yeah.
Look over there.
Felia?
H-Hey!
Felia...
Sogo.
What are you...
What is this place?
I don't know.
I don't know, but it's full of warmth.
It's welcoming me.
That's the feeling I get.
Moura...
You did well.
You care for them.
You love them.
So you know.
And yet...
