Didn’t you say you’ll hunt what you had to hunt...
and protect what you had to protect?
That's what you said, right?
You think you can do that, naive as you are?
Damn!
-Takai! -What should we do?
Damn it!
That’s what you get for messing up my place.
I don't know if you realize.
That test subject you just let escape.
It’ll eat someone again.
And it'll be your fault.
If you can’t do it unless they look like monsters
you better quit the Extermination Team.
You’ll only cause trouble for your friends. Got it?
Takayama, was it?
That bug, the test subject from earlier, how did you find it?
You’re not tapping us again, are you?
Who knows.
You’re at it again?
I'm kidding.
I just kept an eye on police activity.
And how’d you figure out that the victim was killed by a test subject?
They usually never let their food rot like that.
-Sheer luck. -Sheer luck, huh?
I guess you're right.
I hear it’s the second time they found a murder victim there.
You didn't know?
It was three years ago.
So, it wasn't the work of a test subject, that's for sure.
Sheer luck.
What the heck?
A simple murder case?
Who knows?
Anyway, we’ll leave that to Nozomi and Mamoru. We go after the bug.
Just like Takayama said, he’ll go after another human any minute now.
I'm sorry. I let him escape...
Don’t worry about it. We can never get used to it, either.
So get used to not getting used to it.
Yes, sir.
Investigation Team here. Just for a second we caught an ID code signal.
Fuku.
Information about the Extermination Team?
That Jin...
Easy for him to say.
But I can’t do the same thing as last time.
Hey. You got business here?
I’m sorry.
I just want to see Haruka... I mean Haruka Mizusawa.
Um...
You're Haruka's friend?
You know him?
Somewhere in this forest? Isn’t that rather vague?
How about it, darling boy? Is he around here?
Yes, but I’m not sure where.
Stop relying on just Haruka. Let’s spread out and look for it.
But don’t attack when you find him. Gather everyone first.
Haruka.
You can attack if you think you can get him.
Yes?
That is, if you can.
Yes, sir.
Guess I'll go check on them.
You bastard!
Mamoru, he's a bug, right?
-He's human. -Human?
It's not there.
What are you people?
He's human, huh?
Take this.
No!
Takai!
-Takai! -Don't.
You can't...
Why?
He's human.
Mamoru, run!
Takai!
You better not move, monster.
You think it's here?
No, not here.
Darn.
How charming.
Excuse me. Hello there.
We’re going to do some dangerous work here,
so could you step away from the area? I'm very sorry.
-What's with him? -No idea. Cosplay?
Freaky.
-Let's go. -Yeah.
Please, watch your step. I'm really sorry.
Freaky?
This has to be one of the three toughest things about this job.
Fuku, Kazuya.
No...
Please don't!
You’re an Amazon, too?
I see. That one just now...
You...
Have you ever eaten a person before?
It was...
my first time...
I think I just went in out of curiosity.
But...
when I found it...
My body started moving by itself.
But...
I couldn't eat it.
It was already rotten.
Then,
who did it?
What did you do...
to Mamoru?
Nothing.
Just some light exercises.
Ever since I was little,
I used to hit and break things that moved.
And that made me feel alive.
It feels really great.
Like this.
Stop!
Mamoru, you can break free from those chains, can't you.
Do it!
But you'll be...
Right.
This happens.
Takai!
-Stop! -Forget me.
Run!
Stop!
Get off of her!
Hey.
I don't know why that monster is here.
But it's your fault my place was invaded, right?
I’ll get rid of all the bad bugs.
Takai! Stop!
You mean, the owner of the scrapyard?
I think.
But...
it doesn't matter to me.
Ever since that moment,
I've been so hungry and...
so hungry...
Then eat something else!
There are Amazons who don't eat people.
I can't.
It's in our instinct.
In all of us.
Amazon!
Are you okay, Haruka?
I see.
So you know that Haruka is an Amazon.
So what?
You want to bring him back home?
Haruka really isn't...
somebody who fights like that.
He's really kind.
He keeps tropical fish as pets.
He always tells me...
Welcome home, Mizuki.
Ever since Haruka came to our home,
being with him has been the best time ever for me.
Until then, the house seemed cold.
But he made it a comfortable place.
Haruka was peaceful while he stayed in that room.
This room is like my own aquarium.
But,
he turned into that.
And fighting so painfully.
It's horrible.
So, I have to save Haruka.
Listen here.
That's called "none of your business."
Sorry.
I'm the one that gave Haruka the Amazon belt.
Why?
So he can live.
So he can live?
Violent Punish.
That test subject you just let escape.
It'll eat someone again.
And it'll be your fault.
It evolved.
They're probably still alive.
Let's get them out.
He chose to leave the cage and live on his own.
It may be painful for him.
But putting him back in the cage might be even more painful.
He won't be put back in a cage.
This time, we'll go out together.
-He'll be free and... -Is that...
really freedom?
Why does everybody think of Haruka that way?
He's definitely not the kind of person to fight like that.
I see.
If he keeps getting away like this, it sure won’t be worth the pay.
Go get him, darling boy!
Haruka. Let's head back to Nozomi and Mamoru.
As expected, this monster is tough.
But it makes it more fun. I feel so alive now.
I'll never forgive him...
Never.
Mizusawa!
Takai!
-Nozomi! -Damn, he got you good!
-Are you okay? -Get this off me already.
Stop!
You son of a...
-Stop! -Why?
He's a human!
-Yeah, but... -Nozomi!
Man, you have a habit of getting out of control.
Get out of my way.
Idiot. Like I would.
That man is a murderer.
So what?
Move.
Get off of me!
Let me go.
Move!
Fine.
Wait a minute...
Stop...
Why?
I draw a simple but definitive line
between humans and Amazons.
So...
no matter what kind of guy he is, I’ll protect him as long as he’s human.
That's all there is to it.
But...
he is...
You...
said I kill Amazons for my own selfish reasons, didn't you.
But look who's talking, huh?
Protecting some but not others.
You choose them with your own selfish reasons.
You don’t know where to draw the line.
That's why you're always lost.
Let's pull out.
Haruka.
Let's go.
You all right?
Nozomi, are you okay?
You bastard!
Draw a line, huh?
Yeah.
But it isn't easy. You need determination, too.
That's why...
we draw the line at whether it pays or not.
If you cross that line, you’ll start getting the wrong idea.
We're not...
heroes of justice.
Still,
I...
I want to bring Haruka back. I still want him back.
Ouch.
You okay, Nozomi?
Here.
Damn you. What took you so long?
You're welcome.
Excuse me?
I had a feeling you were thanking me.
You’re getting the hang of it, eh, darling boy?
I won’t get used to being called darling boy, though.
Let’s get home and have a party.
-Yay! Let's go home. -All right!
Chairman.
Thank you for granting me this chance to talk to you.
Tachibana.
This isn’t the first time I’ve given you time to talk to me.
How long has it been since I let you start a research lab in
the International Sales Strategy Headquarters?
It’s almost alarming how little I hear about it.
Forgive me, sir.
I figured it might be bothersome to report too often,
so I had refrained from doing so.
In other words, you now have something substantial to report?
Yes.
An Amazon life-form even more evolved than the one we've currently created
is almost complete.
Almost?
I dislike such vague words.
Of course.
But the element needed to make it complete
cannot be obtained without your help, Chairman.
The Amazon belt.
If we can have its data, it will be complete.
It’s seriously a bug’s get-together.
Run. If you want to live freely.
-They're bugs. Move. -But they haven't awakened yet.
It can't be...
Are you the new one that was written in the message?
Amazon.
