Combat ability...
In other words, he wants to sell them as weapons.
But that’s not the real potential of the Amazon cells.
Jin Takayama is one of those potentials.
And so is Haruka.
But you don’t know what you’re fighting for.
How can I trust a guy like that to watch my back?
Mizuki!
-Are you okay? -Haruka?
Haruka?
Haruka!
Amazon!
Omega.
Haruka?
-Nozomi, get that girl out of here. -Roger that.
Let’s go.
She can’t get up. Fuku!
Let’s go.
He wants his dinner first.
Fuku, hurry!
Stop...
Leave Mizuki...
Leave Mizuki alone!
That was close.
What the...
Are you okay?
What’s going on?
It’d usually disintegrate.
We can’t leave it out here in the open.
Fuku, call the cleanup crew, and let’s clear out.
Haruka.
Haruka...
What was that?
What just...
Kazuya. Take her home in the taxi.
-Oh, come on. -Huh?
Yes, sir.
And I came all this way...
Will you come and get in the taxi?
But...
Or else he’ll get mad at me. I’ll give you a discount.
Don’t take money from her.
There you go. Get in.
Here’s your bag.
Haruka...
Do you know her?
Mother’s... She’s Chief Mizusawa’s daughter.
She’s like a little sister to me.
Really?
But you were about to impale her.
I’m sorry. I...
I think I understand what Shido said, about you being dangerous.
I told you before.
I can’t trust someone who doesn’t know what he’s fighting for.
I can’t fight alongside someone I can’t trust.
Especially you.
Mizuki...
Leave Mizuki alone!
The question then, is what to do about it.
What you want to do.
What do I truly want to do?
I no longer know who I am.
How did Jin...
I need to talk with Jin again.
Give me more food.
I’m hungry.
Give me something to eat!
Hey. It's okay.
Meat, meat, meat...
Why don’t you take a break?
Now that we’ve got this important data, I don’t want to waste my time.
Anyway, is it true that Haruka hasn’t come back yet?
Seems like he was with the Extermination Team during the last battle.
What?
They told him once again to go back to the lab.
By the way, a strange test subject was picked up during that battle.
What?
We don’t know the situation,
so we put it in an explosion-safe lab
and have the Extermination Team standing by.
I’ll leave that one to you.
Things just keep happening, don’t they?
I’d been prepared for the second year.
But I didn’t expect this.
Chief, this is the security room.
A person who appears to be your son is here.
He’s finally come back.
Haruka. I’ll take you to Chief Mizusawa.
Come this way.
Mizusawa!
Mamoru.
So you came, too.
How are your injuries, Mamoru?
They’re fine now.
But they told me to stay here for one more day.
But I want to hurry up and go back to my team.
I don’t like the chief person because she’s scary.
But now that you’re here, it’s better.
Oh yeah.
Here you go.
-Thanks. -Sure.
Do you really work
on the Extermination Team just for the team and for hamburgers?
Yeah.
Have you ever had any other thoughts?
Like what you’re fighting for,
or who you are.
I don’t know. What do you mean?
Nothing, sorry.
The team and hamburgers are really clear-cut reasons. Easy to understand.
You don’t like them?
The team and hamburgers?
No, I don’t mean that. Hamburgers are delicious.
Yeah.
If you don’t hurry up and eat it,
the red Amazon will take it from you.
When I passed by his room just now,
he shouted, "Please give me half of that! I beg you!"
Where’s that room?
Meat?
You...
Is that...
for me?
Ow!
I’m saved!
The guys here are scared I’ll turn into an Amazon and only give me a tiny morsel.
Hey. I fed you all those eggs and soups. That’s how you repay me?
There’s something I want to ask you.
About Amazons.
No, about you.
Huh?
How did you take in the fact that you became an Amazon?
How did you decide to fight?
How do you control your Amazon powers?
In other words,
you can’t do any of that.
To be honest,
I don’t even know what I want to do.
When I’m an Amazon, I become more and more like someone I’m not.
Are you scared?
I enjoy fighting.
And that scares me.
I see.
First of all, give me that food.
And then I’ll tell you. Okay?
You have to tell me first.
You...
I’ll tell you then. I don’t think it’ll help you, though.
Why?
You and I are definitively different.
As for me...
I became an Amazon of my own free will.
I took some Amazon cells.
And transplanted them into myself.
Nozama Pharmacy had been putting
a lot of effort into the research and development of human life for years.
I was placed in that project as soon as I joined the company.
I took part in the development.
And...
one of those finished products...
The Amazon cell.
Mother.
We were able to freely design
the living beings created by the Amazon cells.
Plus,
they could mimic the appearance and intelligence of human beings perfectly.
We developed a depressant that prevented the problem of a desire for proteins.
Everything was going well, and we were so close to putting it to practical use.
I was against it, though.
Yes, because you’d begun to doubt the Amazon cells themselves.
But all was going well.
Until that time two years ago.
It evolved from a pupa to an adult?
Damn it.
Around 4,000 of the test subjects within the lab suddenly disappeared.
All that was left
was a two-year time limit before
they became protein-eating monsters.
Of course, we’ve taken measures such as the Extermination Team.
Who’d have thought you’d suddenly appear with that belt.
What’s your reason?
I felt responsible.
I’ll crush every Amazon.
Every Amazon?
You mean just the test subjects that escaped.
No. Every single Amazon.
I’ll kill them all.
That’s why...
you became an Amazon yourself.
Chief.
The test subject has revived and is now fighting with the Extermination Team.
"M" is headed there, too.
Hey.
Give me that burger. I’ll help you exterminate that Amazon.
Did you mean Mamoru, too,
when you said you’ll kill every Amazon?
I told you, all of them.
Give it to me.
One thing has become clear.
Just as you said, everyone is just eating to survive.
But you and Mother are different.
You created something of your own accord,
but now you’re trying to destroy it because it’s an inconvenience now.
I don’t like that.
I think I’m angry now.
At you all.
Run, now!
Guys!
Mamoru?
Sorry I’m not in uniform.
You dork.
Just come!
Haruka. This has nothing to do with you.
You’re not like the other Amazons.
Go on back home.
I’m never going back.
Haruka?
You’re not siding with the Amazons now, are you?
I’ll hunt down what needs to be hunted down.
And I’ll protect what I want to protect.
Be it human or Amazon.
That means Amazons aren’t the only things I’ll hunt.
Hey.
You said he’s not like other Amazons.
Are you saying he’s not like me,
or the test subjects?
Exactly.
Haruka is a third type of Amazon.
There are still many things you’ll have to unveil to us.
Including that belt.
Stay there and behave for a while longer.
I’m hungry!
You...
Shido, I’ve decided on my own.
I’ll protect what I want to protect, and hunt what I want to hunt.
That’s what I’m going to fight for.
And it seems like the me inside me likes to fight.
So if I ever start eating humans,
I want you guys to kill me instead of Jin.
That’s why I’m going to hunt down bugs
with the Extermination Team.
Is that reason enough for you?
I guess it’ll do for now.
I hate to bear that responsibility, though.
Amazon!
Omega.
Violent Punish.
You think we’ll be able to hunt him down?
No clue.
But we’ll need an extra special bonus for that.
Do what? What are we going to do?
We’re going to go home and eat.
Yeah. Mizusawa! Let’s go home and eat with the team.
Hey, Mizusawa!
That was amazing.
You really are amazing.
We’re going back home to eat together with the team.
Let’s go.
Come on, hurry. What do you want to eat?
I say hamburgers.
What about you?
No way.
It’s over?
Misaki!
The whole team’s here now.
That means I won’t get a bonus.
How am I going to pay this month?
Who cares.
Jin Takayama.
Huh?
We’ve never met, but I’ve heard quite a lot about you.
That you took part in developing that belt.
I’m too hungry to talk, you know.
Then I’ll be straight with you.
I’m Tachibana of the International Sales Strategy Department.
I want to make a deal with you.
I decline.
I haven’t even stated the conditions yet.
Oh, well.
If you stay like this, you’ll be scarcely kept alive until you die.
-Are you fine with that? -No.
Then...
Sorry to tell you this, but someone has come for me.
What took you so long, Nanaha?
I told you to save me if something happened, didn't I.
It’s not that easy, you know.
I barely made it in because you’d told me about the inside of this place.
Thank you.
Stop!
Thanks for having me.
That guy...
I joined the Extermination Team without telling you.
Why is my place all roughed up?
Didn’t you say you’ll protect what you want to protect?
You’re too naive for that.
