Situation 11
Deadly Battle! Guard Duty of the Ibaragi Prefecture Exhibition
Ibaraki Prefecture Governor Ichihashi Kuniko
We will open the exhibition as originally planned.
If any citizens sustain injuries, we will hold the Ministry of Justice and the Media Cleansing Committee responsible.
You're not going to hold the Library Force responsible?
The Library Force is providing protection at our request,
so the only thing we'd hold them responsible for is if they were unable to protect the exhibit.
Taking the safety of the citizens into consideration, would it not be better to delay or cancel the exhibit?
The root problem is that the central government is interfering with the prefecture's citizen's celebration of the arts.
Well said!
Both the art museum curator and the governor have guts.
This is encouraging.
But I'm disappointed that the press is siding with the Media Cleansing Committee.
Don't complain.
They're striking a balance that way.
But...
Look, Kasahara.
Dad's fighting with me.
Sorry.
I'll step out.
I saw the press conference.
Did LSTC Genda write the script?
That's none of your business.
Don't give me the cold shoulder.
I'm concerned about Mito.
Your superiors are quite sharp.
Yes, I admire them.
In paying him my respects, I'll tell you some information I have.
The censorship this time will only be attempted once. It'll be on the first day of the exhibit, before the opening.
Only once?
The Media Cleansing Committee is getting very emotional about this year's choice work.
As someone who wears a uniform, you should know.
Yeah.
But the Ministry of Justice isn't enthusiastic about it.
The local government is taking a hard-line stance, so we don't want to make any trouble.
This censorship is all about the pride of the Media Cleansing Committee.
Is it really only going to be once?
It's up to you to believe me or not.
Thanks for telling me.
I at least appreciate the information.
Hikaru,
am I being horrible to you?
No, you don't have to answer that.
As you guessed, the Non-Violence Club had close financial ties to groups siding with the Media Cleansing Committee.
Yes.
The Library Force at the Mito Station was most likely systematically made powerless by the Media Cleansing Committee.
I see.
Thank you for looking everything up.
Can you keep this information hidden from the members on site?
Yes.
I don't want to give them any information that would lower their morale.
Tezuka, it was right on.
The notice says that the censorship is limited to one time only, in front of the building, right before the opening of the exhibit on the first day.
The notice has the signature of the Minister of Justice, too.
There will be no ambush.
That's a relief.
Considering the skill level of the local force, a prolonged situation would be difficult for us.
Your brother's information was right.
But it wasn't useful.
Oh, come on!
The plan of action for a short battle scenario is ready.
Without the information from your brother, we couldn't have prepared it so quickly.
That's great to hear.
I'll explain the formation.
Put down what you're working on and listen.
The Cleansing Force's target is this year's prize work, Freiheit.
We will isolate it to avoid damage to other works.
We will put it in a bulletproof case and set it outside.
We will enclose the campus using cars.
We will fill the gaps with barricades, and we will use this spot to get in and out.
On the library side that's carrying the pamphlets,
we'll station the force that's made up by primarily local members.
Ogata, you take command here.
Yes, Sir.
The combat will end at 9 in the morning.
Don't let the Cleansing Force step in until then.
That's all!
Yes, Sir!
I should use one size bigger.
Dojo, I'll stand guard for a bit.
You should rest for a while.
Thank you.
You there! It'll topple over easily if you stack them like that!
Everyone seems tired.
Should I go buy something for everyone?
That'd be great.
Keep it up.
Put an XL here.
Yes, Sir.
Instructor Dojo...
There's a place I want to take you, if you don't mind.
Come in.
Okay.
What is it?
You said you wanted to see them blooming.
Are these chamomiles?
You...
They smell great.
I think whoever planted these here also knows the meanings flowers have.
Energy in adversity, huh...
I think there's someone who believes that the base will be better one day, even though he or she is treated unfairly today.
Right.
I'll do my best for these people, too.
I'm not a rookie anymore, so I will give my best as a member of—
Kasahara...
I didn't expect to see you here.
They're docking my pay for three months because of what happened.
A Library Force member and a Cleansing Force member shouldn't be talking needlessly, even in private.
We'll be shooting at each other when the night is over.
One of us might die, and we won't be able to talk ever again.
I like brilliant people like you.
The Cleansing Force is full of idiots.
Then why don't you switch sides to the Library Force?
One of my superior officers was in the Cleansing Force once.
I was hired through a personal connection, so I can't.
Unlike you, we have no ambition.
All we have are personal connections like me, people just looking to be promoted, or career soldiers.
But this time, we're getting excited.
Be careful.
Freiheit...
According to the information from Tezuka,
the Cleansing Force is getting emotional because they thought they were disgraced by it.
I'm sure their pride will be on the line in tomorrow's battle.
The Cleansing Force's pride...
You never know what people will do in that kind of situation.
The battle tomorrow...
The battle tomorrow will be far worse than the one at Odawara.
They have no ambition, but they have an intense sense of pride in their organization.
I guess they can't dismiss that artwork.
You guess?
I don't carry any such worthless pride.
Censorship itself is done in defense of some higher-ups.
I'm not willing to risk my life for such a reason.
If they break the agreement and start attacking blindly...
I may fail as a superior officer to say this,
but prioritize saving your life.
Sir...
I won't hear any excuses!
I'll ask you to do a follow-up on the situation once we're done here.
It's not my fault...
It's not...
They're here.
Fire at will!
Permission to fire!
Fire!
The next group's coming.
In the bush to the south!
Roger.
Let's go!
LOFC Shindo!
LOFC Shindo is hit!
What?!
It went through his upper arm.
He's unable to remain on duty!
Where was he shot from?
In the trees!
It's not as high as the roof, but they can shoot at the snipers leaning out.
Up on the tallest tree, they must be on the highest branches that you can climb!
All right.
I'm counting on you, Mr. Afraid-of-Heights Sniper.
I've overcome my fear for some time now.
In the tree, huh...
Tezuka, can you do it?
I can.
I'll be the decoy.
You go downstairs.
I'll take a few shots from them,
and find their locations from their bullet traces.
Can you shoot with your arm like that?
As long as I don't have to hit them.
But you must take each one down with a single shot.
No room for mistakes.
Roger.
One on that tree...
Another one.
I won't make LOFC Shindo shoot any more!
You've improved.
Not really.
I thought you'd need four or five more shots.
I'm not that bad either.
The enemy's snipers are down.
LOFC Shindo and CL Tezuka are heading to an aid station.
Send Komaki in place of Shindo.
Put Tezuka back, too.
This place is yours now.
O-Okay!
Shoot, idiots!
They'll focus their fire here if they find that this is our weak spot!
Always replenish your bullets after you use half of your clip.
They'll focus their aim there if you run out.
O-Okay!
Kasahara!
Ask the Captain to send a member of the Task Force here, whoever is available!
Yes, Sir!
The machine's down!
I'll make a run for it!
H-Hey!
You're asking for the impossible!
We're shorthanded everywhere!
Refill!
But!
No buts!
Refill! Refill! Refill!
You guys...
You brought these here?
Because all the guys were out.
Great work!
30 minutes until the end of the battle.
The Cleansing Force members from the library section are coming over to join the members here!
What?!
The enemy is focusing their force on the museum side.
Gather all the riot shields here!
If they're not enough, use steel plates, or whatever!
Strengthen the barricade!
Hey!
You all right?
They're out of control.
The Cleansing Force's attack is in its final stage.
They're using their downed members as a shield to push their way in!
Don't hesitate to shoot at close range!
Make disarming them and protecting your lives top priority!
Carry the injured inside the museum!
Kasahara! Get yourself inside!
I refuse!
Kasahara!
I'm your messenger.
I'm staying with you until the end!
You idiot!
Don't let them through!
Push them back!
I'll take over here!
Please!
Are you telling me there are things you must take away, even doing this?
Why?
Stay away!
Huh?
Why?
Go in!
Go in! Go in!
Thank you for saving me.
The Cleansing Force members that CL Kasahara shot are retreating.
Shooting men in bulletproof vests with weakened bullets won't kill them so easily.
Calm down!
Don't worry about it.
Everyone's like that the first time they shoot someone.
Tezuka was calm.
He didn't shoot as many.
Kasahara,
if this is frustrating, then become strong!
Train yourself so you'll always be calm under any circumstances, and not overcome by your emotions.
It might be a difficult task for you.
I can do it! I swear!
You really took me by surprise when you said you'd stay with me because you're my messenger.
I did?
Stay here.
Okay...
Thank you for protecting it.
No problem.
It looks like there were many injuries.
The Cleansing Force probably took more damage than we did.
Move out of there!
Everyone, hit the floor!
The work you're after is behind me.
Shoot if you dare.
What are you doing there?
The library gets ravaged because this is here.
As long as it's gone...
What you're doing is exactly what's ravaging the library!
Shut up!
Who do you think will be asked to take responsibility for this whole thing?!
Nobody will accuse you for fighting against the censorship!
If you give in to the censorship and burn the documents that we're supposed to protect,
that would be the worst mistake of your life!
Shut up!
We just need to stay nonresistant to the censorships.
Don't do it!
Is that all you've got?
Genda-san! Genda-san!
Instructor Dojo!
Kasahara! Capture the curator!
Instructor...
Instructor Dojo!
