The UN Security Council demanded that
the Japanese government turn over the Wam, a source of infinite energy.
Hand over the Wam now!
Inuzuka should resign!
Yaha-kui zaShunina and Shindo Kojiro decided
to solve this problem by requesting the help of Shinawa Kanata.
After his conversation with Yaha-kui zaShunina,
Prime Minister Inuzuka Kozo decided to
share the method to create Wam that Dr. Shinawa invented with the entire world.
It was the decision of a politician who knew it could cause pain for humanity.
Tetrok
There.
Mifune Lab
Only two people besides you have been able to make them.
They were only successful once, and haven't been able to reproduce it.
No, no, Doctor, anyone can do it.
I mean, maybe it takes a little practice...
Your idea of "a little" doesn't apply to anyone else.
Well, because it's so hard to make, the world's avoided falling into chaos.
What the Anisotropic Wants
New Energy Source, Wam Less Than 0.1% Successful Creation Rate Unknown Factor Involved?
But, but...
It seemed like he understood perfectly, even better than me.
You understand well the essential nature of the Wam.
Hey, zaShunina,
why am I able to make these?
A sense of the anisotropic is required to create the Wam.
So not just anyone can make it?
Anyone can.
However, some are better than others.
The more one's brain is optimized for this universe,
the less it is able to adapt to the anisotropic.
It's difficult for the elderly to understand the anisotropic structure of the Wam.
It's easier for children to accept it.
Shinawa Kanata is an adult,
but her mental structure is that of a child's.
That's why she was able to learn how to make the Wam so easily.
That's quite a mean thing to say.
Does that mean I have the brain of a child, too?
Your ability is due to special circumstances.
You underwent Kado's processing.
Then the passengers who were released
were forcibly given a sense of the anisotropic when they left?
No.
It's just you, Shindo.
You were the first human to undergo the processing.
At that point, the available information was still inadequate.
So the processing failed?
I would like you to think of it as excessively successful.
You are a premium human
who took in far more of a sense of the anisotropic.
To me, this was a joyous event.
You are the factor that's functioning extremely well as a bridge between
humanity and the anisotropic.
I would like you to continue to do this.
If you're too selfish, you won't make any friends.
"Friends."
A vague concept, isn't it?
Anisotropic being, Yaha-kui zaShunina,
if you want to improve relations between humanity and the anisotropic,
there are many problems that must be solved.
Presently Released: 72/251 People
The release of the passengers is going well.
So, next is...
This.
Moving Kado From Its Present Position
What about above the sea?
Unsuitable.
Kado does not possess the concept of "floating,"
but it's better to have a certain amount of contact surface with minimal amplitude.
It can't get smaller?
That is less than ideal.
This location is optimal.
By location, do you mean three-dimensional coordinates?
21%.
My understanding of dimensions is different from yours.
A shared understanding of the concept of "location" is difficult.
But it does have to stay two kilometers to a side?
Then you'll have to get pretty far out of Tokyo...
That is less than ideal, as well.
The reason is your mental states.
Let us hypothesize that Kado moved here.
The introduction of factors besides the Japanese nation
will cause a severe drop in the speed of information exchange.
I see.
What zaShunina is referring to isn't physical location.
He doesn't want to be located too far from the Japanese government.
But finding two square kilometers of level ground in eastern Japan...
It does not need to be level.
So long as the ground is stable, with amplitude below a certain level,
Kado can alter its shape to make contact with it.
Sayama Lake
How about here?
Sayama Lake?
The Japanese government just announced that the anisotropic has agreed to move

the massive object at Haneda airport,

Potential New Kado Location Decided
for a new location is the area around Sayama Lake.
Saitama: Sayama Lake
Of course I'm following them!
They have already begun negotiations with the local governments.
Here we go, huh?
Yup. It's moving somewhere close to the capital, too.
The area selected includes the cities of Tokorozawa, Iruma, Musashimurayama, and...
There's gonna be tons of complaints and protests.
Gonno-san, there's a press conference!
The appearance of the anisotropic is
the most important event in our country's history.
I ask all citizens for their understanding and cooperation
in overcoming this emergency.
Ubuka-san's planning to use the emergency laws to force his way through this.
Which means...
The move isn't far off.
The most likely day is...
August 26th.
All passengers trapped inside Kado
will be released by the 25th.
The move will be performed the next day.
We've picked a location that minimizes effects on the populace and surrounding facilities...
Iruma
Zuiho
Hamura
Here.
The next question is how, exactly, it moves.
Can you do the same thing you did when it appeared?
In other words, disappear,
then reappear at the location?
When manifesting in this universe from the anisotropic,
I did precise tuning across multiple dimensions.
I would like to avoid leaving and returning.
Also, if it's going to move directly,
it would be best if contact was kept with a fixed surface along the ground.
In other words...
This.
You're going to roll it?
What happens to whatever's below it?
If I devote my full energy to controlling Kado, I can avoid absorbing whatever is below it,
as well as destroying it.
And if that is something living?
It will not be destroyed,
but there may be a minor effect on its mind.
So a temporary evacuation is unavoidable.
Is there any way to minimize the contact surface?
zaShunina, is this possible?
It is.
Asano.
Got it.
We'll use that idea to come up with a plan for the move.

You're not going to rest?
Thanks.
It's good.
I don't think I'm pushing myself too hard,
but it's strange how much I've been capable of working lately.
A negotiator has a duty to take regular breaks.
I know that, but...
How long has it been since you had a break?
Um...
Shindo-san!
Take tomorrow off, please!
I don't know...
I wouldn't really have anything to do...
What are you supposed to be? Some kind of movie star?
I'm famous lately, you see.
I'm back.
Welcome back, Kojiro.
Who eats grilled squid tentacles for lunch?
It's all I've got.
You're off today, right?
I am.
Then it's okay, right?
Oh, they say that big thing's coming through here.
Notice of Temporary Evacuation
Please Comply as Kado Moves
Will everything be okay?
It will.
But just to be safe, I want you to evacuate temporarily.
Oh, did you come because you were worried?
I'd feel bad if I never got to see you again.
Don't even say that.
So what's the deal with that alien?
The "anisotropic being."
I don't know...
He's still full of mysteries.
He's not human, right?
That's right.
His fundamental concepts are different from ours,
so even if we speak the same language, a lot of stuff doesn't completely get through.
Sounds tough.
Does this "anisotropic being" have parents?
Can it have children, I wonder?
I don't know.
The breeding method of the anisotropic beings...
No, its current form is likely a temporary one.
We don't even know what it really looks like.
Why?
Well, it would be lonely if it was all by itself, right?
It's fun to drink with your children, you know.
That's how it is, huh?
That's right.

Please obey police instructions and move to the temporary evacuation shelters.

Is that for real?

I suppose you could call it a Kado jam.

Shindo.
I want to express my gratitude for your negotiations in this matter.
You're welcome.
A new local HQ will be set up below here tomorrow.
The one at Haneda was more of a temporary affair,
but this one will be enough to last for the medium to long term.
There aren't many who can make Wam yet,
but more will appear.
A real revolution will come.
Before that happens, I want to exchange
as much information as possible with the anisotropic.
Shindo.
Next.
Next?
Energy is the basis of the phenomenon of life.
Providing enough was the first problem.
Humanity, thanks to the Wam, now has more energy that it needs.
There's no need to worry about it further.
Now humanity can take the next step.
Shindo.
How long has it been since you slept?
Humanity will no longer
need to sleep.
July 25th, 2017.
That's when it came.
Yaha-kui zaShunina, why did you come to this universe?
Tell me your honest opinion about the anisotropic being.
Shindo, I am moving on to the next.
