What is that? He's all wrapped up.
That weapon is a flamethrower.
Flame?
As in, that flame?
But that project should've been terminated a long time ago.
And why was it terminated?
They realized...
...that it became a weapon that allowed humans to kill others in a way they shouldn't be.
He's coming for us.
It's cold...
So... I'm going to burn you guys...
It's cold...
So... I'm going to burn you guys...
All right!
Let's run by him like this!
Roger!
Burning people... warms up...
...my heart... a bit...
He scattered fuel over the water's surface?
It's like... a wall of flame, eh?
This guy's crazy...
Heck, doesn't he feel the heat?
Very well!
"You want to get through here, then defeat me."
That's what you're saying, right?
No, he didn't!
He didn't say anything!
Let go of me!
I won't have people say I ran away from a challenge!
There! There they are!!
Th-That's some crazy fire.
You stood guard here to stop them?
Man, the boss sure likes to tease us.
If he had a secret weapon like you, he should've told us first.
Huh?
What? This guy's an enemy?!
Fire away!
Kill everyone...
Don't let anyone escape...
My orders...
Run!!!
Come on, get a grip!
Stop already!
You've killed enough, no?
That lantern...
901...
I'm from 908...
You're... my...
Corporal!
You mustn't hesitate!
He's not someone you can let your guard down against!
We're... on the same side...
901...
I'm not 901...
I'm part of...
What are they saying to each other?
What?!
What's going on?
This wasn't here just a moment ago!
O-Oreld!
After fire, we have to deal with water now?!
LT, this way's no good anymore!
Everyone, get out from there!
Corporal!
I'm part of...
I'm still...
You've finally awakened.
2nd Lieutenant...
What about the others?
They're all safe.
Don't worry.
I see.
Hey, Corporal.
What were you saying to that man?
Nothing, really.
I see.
Anyway, focus on recuperating now.
Thank you, sir.
Good bye, then.
Rest up well.
Then, the people that wanted us dead were...
Without a doubt...
Our Himmel sales have decreased.
That's totally wrong!
They didn't have to do that to us!
Boss!
Leave everything to me.
You guys just think about selling the drugs.
Damn it!
That's bullshit!
I have no choice...
...but to use these boys a bit more.
What's this?
Not a corpse, yet, eh?
You're Kauplan's assistant...
Now, I'm Kauplan.
908?
Ah, something like that did exist.
I developed the "protective fluid", so I remember them.
Protective fluid?
There was a problem with the deployment of 908.
No matter what kind of protective suit they wore,
they will always end up burning themselves due to the intense heat and flame.
That's where we thought of the protective fluid.
With its powerful insulation feature,
they can protect themselves from the fire by filling the suit with that fluid.
So that's what's inside that suit?
It's a lie.
They were made to wear the suits by believing in that lie.
It's really just an anaesthetic used to dull your senses.
In other words, they can't really feel their own burns.
Right now, I'm sure the skin under that suit is...
He doesn't even know what's happening to his own body...
...by using the flamethrower?
"Alt Schmied JÃ¤ger."
The one-eyed cremator.
Alt Schmied was a one-eyed, one-legged deity of flame.
In Republic folklore, they called it a one-legged Datara.
Note: In Japanese folkore, "Ippon Datara" is a one-eyed, one-legged monster that lives in the mountains.
He destroyed people with droughts,
and was the god that had forgotten about water and moisture.
Will they really come?
I mean, given what happened just yesterday..
There's one.
You are under arrest for a flagrant offense of selling Himmel.
Released under bail.
After them!
Don't let them escape!
Secure the suspects and the evidence!
Secure them!
Would you guys just give up already?
Pumpkin or Pompkin or whatever...
What a stupid name, man!
I know about you guys.
You guys are a joke inside the army, too.
What do you think you can do?
Here you go.
Oh, I need three packs of sugar, okay?
Give him three.
Released under bail.
Well then, if you'll excuse me.
I feel bad now that you've made my coffee.
I'll have it next time then.
See ya.
Our section got this letter this morning.
I think it's some sort of a warning.
Did your secret investigation fail?
Ralf... Smythson...
But why did they send it to Section III?
It's not like civilians can tell the difference between Section I and Section III.
Thanks, I guess.
Aren't you hiding something from me?
You guys at Section I are the highest organization in this country that handles public safety.
You obviously know about the presence of Himmel there,
yet you're just sitting back and doing some nice secret investigation?
That's unlike you guys.
I have no clue.
Excuse me.
Major Connelly!
...we couldn't...
...find the documents...
"We couldn't find the documents", eh?
What are they talking about?
We're going to have the bail revoked?
There's just no end to this arresting and releasing.
I don't think this will work though.
The LT's working too hard on this.
Machs!
What is it?!
Marielle!
Don't scare me, man.
It is you!
Ah...
Do you remember me?
I saved you when those waterworks guys were trying to hit you
and humbly left right after I asked your name... me, Sergeant Major Oreld!
Yes, I do.
You tried to touch me with your perverted eyes.
Man, I'm really...
Umm, it's okay.
Oh, really?
You cut your hair, I see.
You're looking cuter than before.
I'm so happy...
A man praised my looks...
Does... does this hair really...
...not look strange?
It looks really nice.
Marielle... sorry...
Here's my down payment.
Take it.
The rest, I'll pay with a loan.
What's this about?
I'm buying your daughter.
You want the money to buy Himmel, right?!
Don't take me for an idiot!
What kind of parent would sell their children?!
It's too late for that, man.
The girl's already sold her hair.
She's sold part of her body already.
She did it for you, man!
Her body looks so delicious.
What's gotten into you, Oreld?
Please stop this!
Oreld, you...
Now, let's go with a live strip-and-sex show!
No! Stop!
Quiet, you!
I already paid for you!
Shut up and strip!
Stop!!
Please stop!
This chick's pretty sexy!
Let me have a part, too!
What kind of character are you?
Don't hold me responsible, man.
That was pushing it...
I give up.
Hey, hey, guys.
You guys think you can just watch this show for free?
I see, you guys don't have the money.
You want to see the show, but you don't have the money.
You want the money but you don't work.
Man, you people are such losers.
Time for me to eat you up.
Watch how your daughter makes some money!
No!!!
Please stop!!!
Don't touch my daughter!
Acting like a dad now?
Heck, by tomorrow, you'll be asking me for this deal.
Losers will always be losers.
Don't push yourselves too much.
Shut up!
What would you know?!
I lost everything...
I only have my daughter now!
Saying we're totally worthless...
We can work, too!
We can work,
whether it's tomorrow or right now!
We can work!
Right now!
I'll do anything for my daughter!
Even without Himmel!
You listening, kid?!
You! You!
I can work whenever I want!
Boss!
Boss.
Boss?
Why's this guy...
And what's this?
They had a fight apparently.
Machs beat me.
Oreld beat me.
Umm, there's someone that wants to testify for our case.
What?!
And, once every two weeks,
the boss gets everyone to leave the office.
The next morning, there will always be new goods distributed to everyone.
So, I think that's the day the transaction is done.
LT!
If we nab him at the scene, we can prosecute Mione.
When's the next transaction day?
Metz.
Probably... tonight...
I was just a street bum...
I had no job... no future...
I ate food I stole in the shadows of alleys...
My days were like that of a rat...
But when I met the boss that day...
The boss took care of everything for someone like me.
But I knew it...
We're just being used.
Bums will always be bums, right?
Even now, I'm selling and betraying my buddies...
...secretly informing you guys...
I'm just like a rat!
Rats can only be in the shadows...
...and just squeek all day, right?
You're wrong.
You're a pair of scissors.
Scissors?
Yes.
Using money, violence, and power,
Albert Mione is a war aggravator that protects himself within numerous layers of protection like a pumpkin.
We fight every day to cut open those layers of protection.
But, without a doubt, you were the one to cut open Mione's outer skin, Metz.
You cannot underestimate the fangs of a rat.
Prepare for sortie immediately!
Time for another rumble, I guess.
Yes.
Hey, you're not going to arrest me?
We don't have time for you.
Sorry, but go surrender yourself to the police or something.
Are you okay, now?
Yes, sir.
She's messed up...
The fact that I might run away hasn't crossed her mind at all...
Damn it... I can't run away now...
Alice.
This isn't really a good time,
but let me borrow Oreld for a bit.
I need to ask him to do something.
Me?
You have an acquaintance in Section I, right?
A very personal one, that is.
Yeah...
Ready, sir.
That's?
Tonight, we settle this once and for all.
2nd Lieutenant!
If that guy shows up...
Can you let me handle him?
I beg of you!
No.
You're hiding something from me.
B-But... Lieutenant!
No.
I'm fighting.
Pumpkin Scissors, roll out!
Roger that!
We've been waiting for you.
We are all servants of the Silver Wheel.
Mer-kun, there's a huge development in the waterworks case!
Alice vs. Claymore-One!
Behold, the slash of the double-edged sword, MÃ¤hne.
Next time, "The Slasher".
Come get us if you're not scared!!
