I’ll protect what I want to protect.
Be it human or Amazon.
That means Amazons aren’t the only things I’ll hunt.
You said he’s not like other Amazons.
Are you saying he’s not like me or the test subjects?
Haruka is a third type of Amazon.
THREE WEEKS LATER
Stop!
Don’t. We’re a team, we shouldn’t fight.
Mamoru...
I can't stand this.
Mamoru, this is just training.
Training.
We told you that when we started.
I guess he didn't understand.
Back to training.
Mamoru, we fight together.
Now that we can train just like the real thing,
our chances of survival are skyrocketing.
-It’s all thanks to darling boy, Haruka. -Stop calling me that.
Oh, come on. Even if you were adopted,
you’re the chief’s darling son.
We’ve got to keep the line clear between you and us lowly types.
Right? Lowly Number One.
Shut up.
Haruka, do it seriously. What’s the use of training if you don’t?
Sorry.
Don’t apologize. I’m not mad at you.
That’s her way of asking you a favor. Get used to it.
Yes, sir.
Got it.
You take my picture sometimes. What is it for?
Didn’t I tell you?
Regular reports for Miss Mizuki.
Huh?
Remember how I took her home in a taxi? We exchanged our contact details then.
Kazu, did you blabber everything to her?
Come on.
For a long time after we left the spot, she kept looking back worriedly
at daring boy over here.
Then she said she wanted to see him, so I tried to calm her down.
What did you tell Mizuki?
Oh, this is me, okay?
Well...
Haruka... Oh, this is Miss Mizuki, okay?
I want to see Haruka.
Well...
I want to see Haruka.
Haruka has resolved to risk his life
to protect the world, no, to protect you.
If you go see him now, you will weaken his resolve.
You will end up making him suffer even more.
What?
And in return, I will responsibly report how Haruka is doing.
So, please give me your number.
Something like that.
A former swindler to the core.
Mizusawa, you’re a great guy, protecting Mizuki like that.
It's not like that.
Whatever his resolve, there’s no need for a regular report.
You could benefit from keeping ties with the chief’s family.
I know that you’ve been probing into Nozama Pharmacy.
Something fishy? Something stirs up old memories?
Shut up. It's so I can feel at ease while earning money.
Haruka?
Amazon!
Mizuki...
I joined the Extermination Team without telling you.
I should’ve explained everything to you.
Why is Haruka...
Welcome home, Mizuki?
PRIVATE PROPERTY NO TRESPASSING
The body of a dead female was found in the middle of a quiet residential area.
A little past 5:00 a.m., here in the Murasawa area,
a passerby reported the discovery,
-and police investigated the site. -Good morning.
The deceased woman had chains wrapped all around her body.
-That’s awful news to start the day with. -This is the site of the scene.
Do you see those power lines over there?
It seems the body was hung on them.
Currently, we do not know further details or the identity of the body yet.
Police are investigating possibilities of both murder and accident.
Oh.
Yes, Extermination Team.
This is the Investigation Team. We got some curious information.
A body was found hanging this morning.
Yeah, we were just watching that.
The thing is, the situation is similar to how test subject S-443,
that we exterminated two weeks ago, captures his prey.
S-443?
Like the shrike, sticking his prey on stems.
Oh, the one Haruka messed up.
On his first hunt here.
Violent Spear.
Mizusawa?
What are you doing, Mizusawa?
You’re in my way, Mizusawa. Jeez, I’ll go.
Oh, dear.
Idiot.
What the heck is he doing?
Falling into a teammate’s trap.
Like some cheap comedy.
But I didn't know the signal.
You’ll just have to get used to it.
Lay off, Nozomi.
Anyway, that type does hang humans out to dry.
Stop that!
That type of test subject is still out there,
so the victim might’ve been caught by one.
But last time, all the victims were only in a temporary state of apparent death.
You’re right. They don’t eat rotten meat.
Dead human meat would rot quickly, so maybe it isn’t the same type.
There’s no reception of any ID codes either, right?
Right. But there are some that eat humans before they completely awaken.
We cannot discover them at that stage.
Could you have your Amazons check the area out?
What are you doing?
Shut up and eat.
I know.
Roger that.
There have recently been many cases
-of missing persons... -There's no need for you both to go.
Mamoru, go with Kazuya.
What? I haven't eaten any yet.
-Huh? -Huh?
Sorry.
We heard that the body was found around 5:00 a.m.
Yes, this scrapyard is mine so I come here almost every day.
It wasn’t there last night when I went home.
I’ve no idea how she was hung up there, but there are some cruel people out there.
Hold on.
The whole bodies of two...
Why does he talk like somebody did it?
The police are still investigating possibilities of both murder and accident.
You're right.
Those supporters.
I first thought chains were caught up there.
Could he be...
Hiding his armband?
They still don’t know who she is.
-Can I get back to work now? -One more question.
Chief.
It seems like the Extermination Team is being dispatched again,
but are you going to let Haruka keep on like this?
It’s impossible to drag him back now.
Rather than forcing something on him and making him run away,
I want him close where I can keep an eye on him.
And to be honest, I’m relying on Haruka’s powers a little.
We haven’t been able to recruit more members for the Extermination Team.
We must finish the delayed project while we have the time.
There’s a limit to using the Extermination Team to gain time.
You could consider utilizing Jin Takayama, too.
If he’ll stop wanting to kill Amazons
that aren’t test subjects, too.
Ouch!
What's with this oil?
There were images of that
hanging dead body on the Internet.
But they're being erased.
Probably Nozama Pharmacy regulating information again.
Ouch!
What, something with test subjects again?
Probably.
Thorough as always.
This wouldn’t be possible without some politician behind them.
This lame method to get information on the test subjects is all I have now.
My receptor isn’t as sharp as Haruka’s.
Oh, this is torture.
I'm so blue.
If only we could tap wires again.
Oh, the pain. I wish we could tap wires again.
I'm so blue.
Fine, I'll do it.
Here. Hurry up and eat.
Thanks for everything.
Nana.
Shut up.
That man said he owned this place, right?
Do you sense any bugs?
No.
What about you, Haruka?
No. But I didn’t see him directly, so I couldn’t say for sure.
I guess so.
Kazuya, check the place out.
Roger that.
What’s he doing? Jeez.
Go.
What is it?
Oh, hello there. I exterminate pests. I’m...
No good, huh?
Waste of time. Why don’t we just charge in there and take a look at his face?
Nozomi. You always try to do everything by force.
Yeah, but...
I think Shido is right. It’d get even worse if we cause a commotion.
Right...
That’s why we’re not charging in.
We’re sneaking in.
What?
If we can just confirm that it’s not a bug, end of story.
Let's go.
Get used to it.
Damn it. Why has my place been invaded?
Who did it?
Stuff like this stresses me out the most.
Those jerks...
Takehara.
Sorry to bother you while you're eating.
Can we have a minute?
You were at the site where the body was found,
weren’t you?
You deliver papers in that area, right?
Yes...
We’d like to hear more about how you found it.
Yes...
Are you okay?
Hey.
So is the person here the bug?
Could be.
Extermination Team, Shido.
We’ve detected the ID code of a test subject.
As suspected, it’s the same type as the one two weeks before.
I knew it.
We're at the site.
Actually, that's not the place.
What?
I'll send you the map.
So, the person isn't a bug?
Or they both are.
Nozomi, you stay here with Mamoru and hunt him if he’s a bug.
The rest, come with me.
I’m hungry!
Do you sense any bugs?
No.
We'll have to check directly.
If no one's going to answer, I'm coming in.
May I?
Go.
Amazon.
Alpha.
-Jin! -What's up?
Looks good on you.
Watch it.
Haruka, don't just stand there!
Amazon!
Violent Break.
What's wrong, Haruka?
Out of my way.
Investigation Team, can you track the bug?
Hold on.
Damn it.
It seems like the armband was broken in the fight.
Didn’t you say you’d hunt what you had to hunt,
and protect what you had to protect?
You think you can do that, naive as you are?
I'll go in.
Is that okay?
Takai.
Damn...
It's gasoline.
Damn it!
Takai!
What should we do?
It’s an instinct. For all of us.
It’ll eat someone again. And it’ll be your fault.
Haruka definitely wouldn't fight like that.
Get out of my way.
Come at me! He's a murderer!
