When the era name was changed to Seika
In order to arrest the spread of negative influences which would harm the society
Media Enhancement Act was enacted
In order to protect the freedom of expression from the brutal inspection of the Media Enhancement Force
Libraries have adopted the military approach
Conflicts between both parties intensified
In Year 31 Seika
A young girl joined the war

What's the meaning of this?
Please tell me the reasons!
Protecting important person is also the job of the Task Force
Of course we will have to send someone
Why me alone?
For you to gain experience
Then, why isn't Tezuka in this too?
Is it okay if he does not gain experience?
Don't deceive me please!
I get it
To avoid deceiving you, I'll be frank
Based on my judgment, you won't be able to provide enough military power
Satisfied?
It's seems that Lt Doujou
Doesn't have any trust in me
Why do I even bother coming here in the first place
Have you ever showed me anything that could earn my trust?
Situation 04 Rescuing Library Corps's Commander
Troops at the front line, retreat into the Museum!
Go!
Cover for me please!
Kantou Library Corps to Media Enhancement troops
From 1140 Hour, the Library Corps will surrender all the documents left in the Museum
All Media Enhancement troops in the Museum have already retreated
Thanks
To all members
suspicious persons have sneaked into Mr. Nobeyama's memorial service
Commander Inamine is being targeted now
All troop members retreat
immediately!
Kasahara!
We are Bakushuukai, a supporting group of the Media Enhancement Committee.
We'd like the Commander of the Kantou Library Corps, Inamine Kazuichi to come with us.
Don't move
or we'll detonate the bomb in the hall.
If you try to resist,
our spies will take actions immediately.
I'll go with you.
Commander!
I'll follow too.
I'm responsible for taking care of Commander Inamine.
A hostage deserves to be taken care of.
Okay then.
If you follow, we'll detonate the bomb,
and we won't guarantee that these 2 will live.
The bomb threatened by the group is fake after all.
Of course.
Sorry for intruding,
I'm Hiraga from the Criminal Investigation Department.
We look forward to your help today.
I'll give my best.
Genda-kun
I'll be writing
Isn't that the reason you brought me along?
I'll give my full support for the coverage of this incident.
If you are to write, please give it your best.
Don't you have cushions or something?
Just bear with it.
I'm sorry, Commander.
Don't be. It's okay.
When we return, please tell Lt. Doujou that...
Kasahara did her job well. Testify for me, okay?
I promise you.
If I don't pull this off,
I won't be able to face him.
Have you ever showed me anything that could earn my trust?
If these people contact the Library Base,
the Library Corps will definitely take some actions.
Before that, I...
I must do my job well.
Trace the call.
Done.
Hello.
We're Bakushuukai, currently taking Inamine Kazuichi hostage.
I'm Genda Ryuusuke, person-in-charge of the Kantou Library Base security affairs.
I want to confirm the safety of Commander Inamine and our female task force member.
Can you put them on the phone?
We'll put the girl on, not Inamine.
Hello
Kasahara, are you okay?
Yeah, somewhat.
Ah. Please tell Shibasaki to cancel the reservation at Transall.
I promised to go for a drink tonight...
What are you doing? Does it hurt to let me say this much?
It's a really expensive restaurant,
are you going to pay for the cancellation penalty?
What exactly is her heart made of... that woman.
Oi, Kasaraha. Hello?
We express our deepest regret to the Library which rebels against the Media Enhancement Act,
and neglects the maintenance of public order and the protection of human rights.
In exchange for the lives of the hostages,
you will surrender the documents obtained from the Museum.
Our terms of exchange are as follows.
All the information obtained from the Museum shall be released to Bakushuukai.
They are to be destroyed after tallying with the confiscation list as released today by the Media Enhancement Committee.
You have 2 hours to do that.
I'll contact you soon.
We've got something out of the trace.
Looks like a mobile phone was used, but
it was cut off before we could determine their exact location.
Perhaps we were interfered...
Hey, could someone get Shibasaki here?
She seems fine, doesn't she?
Looks like she used her brain this time,
that uni-cell being.
What did you understand?
It's a restaurant we visited a few times together,
definitely not some fancy restaurant that requires reservation.
And we didn't promise to go there today.
Where's the shop?
It's at Tachikawa.
Police officer, it's Tachikawa!
Commander Inamine is in Tachikawa city center.
Right. Focus on the surrounding area of Tachikawa.
We'll determine the exact location.
How about the duplication of the documents?
Right now, our back-up team is doing their best to duplicate the documents...
but we don't know if we'll make it in time.
Worse comes to worst, I guess we'll have to give in to their demands.
That's fine if they release the hostages as promised...
I'll go take a look at the situation of our back-up team.
I'll go instead.
Let him go.
I don't understand
Based on my judgment, you won't be able to provide enough military power.
Damn it!
Will they understand the meaning of my message?
Captain and the rest them will definitely understand,
if they had asked Shibasaki...
What are you doing?
I want to remove my prosthesis
It seems to be dislocated at the joint, it's painful.
Let the girl help you.
Would you please help?
I've never done this before, please instruct me.
This is... the leg that fought through the Nightmare of Hino.
We're now standing on the path opened up by this very leg.
Commander Inamine's prosthesis was removed!
What?
The coordinate is showing.
Compare it with the latest residential area map.
Why? What happened?
If the commander's prosthesis is removed in a specific sequence,
a signaling mechanism will be triggered.
Signaling mechanism?
Found it! In a new town not yet sold in lots,
It's a newly constructed building!
Good. Prepare the task force for dispatch.
We shall seize them before they contact us.
Wait
Now that the location is known, you should leave the rest to us.
As for what to do next, it's up to us to decide.
Don't even dream of having it your way,
leave it to the police!
Sorry then.
If you are really that trustworthy,
our history will not be so unfortunate.
Am I wrong?
However, if you don't fulfill the correct procedures,
your rights to fire is confined within the library grounds.
I said that we'll follow our own way.
Put the building in question under the library properties purchase list.
Let them decide the selling price.
Accounts auditors, think of a way to shut them up!
This is ridiculous!
This is how we get things done.
But, how many billions do you intend to splurge in each conflict?
The new town is quite big too,
it's more than enough to build a new library there in the future.
Well, we'll take it as an investment in advance.
Worst case, we'll need to compensate the landowners for their contract-breaching penalty.
Doujou
I'll leave that to you,
Do as you see fit.
Understood
Why do you resemble me so much?
Naive and idiotic, just like my old-self.
Doing things without thinking of the consequences,
and your vulnerability for being so emotional.
Those are...
things that I should've left behind,
Why do you pick them up and treasure them?
Whenever you fool around like that, I just can't turn my back on you.
In order to protect my wavering self,
I hurt you.
It was my fault.
I've finally realised it.
That is why...
I hope that nothing bad happens to you.
Is your leg still hurting?
Do you want a massage?
The prosthesis was already removed, so it's okay now.
It was only that hint after all...
Did it take too long to search for us?
Realise it's me, Kasahara.
Lt. Doujou
Sorry if I'm rude
One
Two
Three
Damn it!
Get down
Are you okay?
Yes!
I'm really thankful for everything today.
I've already told Doujou about it, as promised.
Thank you
Lieutenant Doujou...
You did well.
Huh?
"Unable to contribute enough military power"... I take those words back. Forgive me.
How regrettable...
It- It's not the question of forgiving you or not...
Is that so? Well then.
What if... I...
I- I guess it's nothing after all.
I won't be bothered if you want to quit.
But... it will be a pity though.
Damn it.
Why am I so happy when I'm acknowledged by him?
I will not quit.
I'll surpass you,
that's why I will never quit!
Aren't you quitting when you reach retirement age?
What are you talking about?
That was very rude, you know?
You are the rude one! Have a little self-awareness, will you?
Shut up
I mean it when I said I'll surpass you!
It's impossible when it comes to you
Not again...
Impossible? How can you say that without letting me try?
They really resemble each other, the both of them.
Enough with that already.
I guess I can't go out with you after all.
Seeing that you're still able to keep your cool, I guess that you don't like me at all.
I don't like you too.
How can you be so blunt...
By the way, why did you ask me out?
Doujou told me that...
I could probably learn a thing or two from you.
That piqued my interests
"What was that?"
What was that? You made me look like a fool...
The way I see it...
It isn't me but Lt. Doujou that you like.
I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with your brain to ask me out based on that.
I thought it was for real and worried my ass off. I feel like an idiot!
I'm really mad!
I get all worked up for nothing, argh!!
It's really interesting to have you as a friend though.
"What's with this fella..."
Argh! Shut up! Stop laughing will ya?
I'm home.
I bought some cakes.
What are you doing?
"Dear mom and dad"
I'm writing my parents a letter...
You've finally decided to tell them?
Yeah...
I don't know how to start though...
What a shame...
Looks like this arrived a little late.
"We plan to pay you a visit. Looking forward to seeing you at your work place. -- From your parents"
What?! No way! No way no way no way no way!
What should I do?!
