Corporal!
The corporal said he'll fight.
Mione should be right next to his opponent.
You go secure him.
And you, LT?
I must teach these foolish people a lesson.
Corporal Randel Oland.
You have given me...
...a battlefield!
I am determined...
...to escape this place alive...
...and have my revenge against the army.
When the time comes, Hans,
I will require your assistance, okay?
Damn you, Hans!
Are you listening?!
Give me a response, at least!
Hans...
Hans!
Hans.
Today sure was tiring, Hans.
We can finally take these suits off.
I don't know if it's right to say this,
but thank God for the armistice.
What's the matter, Hans?
You still have that suit on?
Don't be so slow.
No, I can't get this helmet off.
Oh yeah, this guy is slow with that, too.
"That"? You mean, women?
Yeah, he's sixteen already and doesn't have a bit of experience.
Hurry up, Hans.
Don't be so slow.
Huh?
Y-You...
What's wrong with your jaw?
My...
My face!!
My arm's...
What's this pain?!
My... my back's burning up!
Blood's spilling all over, and I can't stop it!
Hans, get out of here...
Take off the suit and we'll...
...die...
What's the matter, Hans?
Death...
Everyone died...
You disgusting goon.
Let's go!
Don't be so slow.
Just now...
You sounded... like the guys in the 908...
It's cold...
Don't worry about the LT.
The LT believed that we could accomplish our mission.
That's why she's fighting all alone back there.
That's why we need to believe in the LT, too,
and finish our own mission.
Yes, sir.
Damn it!
That's not a woman's slash at all!
That sword is... Mähne.
Vice-Captain, that's...
It's a sword used back in the days when cavalry was the main force on the battlefield.
Cavalry are weak on the side of their unarmed hand...
...because they cannot freely swing their sword with their mount's head obstructing them.
That's where the double-bladed sword, Mähne, was born.
They didn't even have to swing it; the weapon was so terrifying...
...that they just had to drop it on their enemies and the weight was enough to kill them.
But, to able to use something like that...
It's not a woman's weapon, indeed.
To be expected of the Malvin family...
Vice-Captain!
Idiot!
We haven't received permission yet!
Oh, just when I thought it was rare for you to visit this place...
...you're telling me to order my unit to pull out?
Don't make me laugh.
Once you swing it, it cannot be stopped.
That's why it's called a claymore.
For the security of this nation,
we have waited for this moment for three months already-
This is what you wanted, right?
To be precise, the documents that were compiled based off of these books.
Documents that simulated the Imperial Sewers as a country...
...with experimental results of the Himmel market.
Just how many underground refugees do you think there are?
Beats me.
But, it's probably more than one or two hundred.
Not even close.
These sewers that lay below our feet...
...have pretty much grown into another Imperial Capital.
The refugees that Section III "saved" and guided out were just one piece of the pie.
We realize that.
I was shocked at first, too.
In these handbooks,
there is data on gender, age, body size, health status,
the amount sold, and number of transactions...
Everything you want to know about people who bought Himmel.
Do you understand the significance of this?
An evil document containing all of this information exists.
The value in those documents is astronomical!
In other words, the army intends to run a Himmel market of their own?
Due to the armistice, army funds have continuously decreased.
We absolutely need...
...a money-producing tree.
Is that an operation you proposed?
I'm just doing Section I's job.
And I'm... just doing Section III's job.
Just now,
I have submitted a request for permission to eliminate members of our army to accomplish this mission.
You're the one that has to back down, Hunks.
I hear there are people in the higher echelons of the army that have a great dislike of the 13 Appointed Families.
Major Connelly,
you're forgetting something very important.
There's an organization supporting Mione.
Just another organization that sells Himmel...
That's my point!
In this time of hardships,
they are a group that don't want Himmel,
nor the money they make from it,
but rather the information generated from all this.
They're not just any organization at all.
The way they give the newest weapons to amateurs without any hesitation...
...I do have some idea about that.
Some idea?
Rescind your elimination request.
With your signature, I'll give you my information.
Damn it!
We haven't received permission yet?!
Painful, isn't it?
I applaud you for being able to wield that for such a long time.
I praise you, woman of the Malvin family.
Looks like the weight of your sword came back to bite you.
This is the end for you!
Th-That's the purpose of those armored boots?
Impressive...
I have no pride left to defend,
but let me tell you something as a last struggle on my part.
Did you know...
...that the lions' job is to chase down the prey...
...but the real hunting is done by the lionesses that ambush the prey.
Blast!
A separate team?!
Corporal! Machs!
It's cold...
What is it?
Another attack?
God damn it!
Give me a break already!
Those soldiers will catch up to us if we don't hurry!
We're talking about soldiers...
As we sit here, they're coming after us at full speed.
Corporal.
Are you able to fire at them from there?
It's too hard to aim for their shoulders or feet.
We need to get closer to them.
Sergeant Major.
Grenades?!
I took out the shrapnel and lowered the yield.
I'll run in while they panic from this.
Hey!
Answer me already!
If I can force him into close combat,
then it'll be over...
3...
2...
1...
Hurry up already!
I'm really going to leave you behind!
I told you many times not to be a slowpoke!
I'm okay.
It stopped.
Why don't you at least take off that heavy suit of yours?
I'll die.
I'll die if I take it off.
Everyone in the 908...
After taking off this suit,
they all crumbled to pieces and died...
That's why I...
...won't take this suit off.
The three years since the armistice, I've worn this.
Eating...
Or excretion...
If I used special tools,
I could stay in this suit.
I'll be like this...
...for the rest of my life.
C-Corporal!
Please surrender...
908!
You're from the army?!
I know a lady from Kauplan.
I'm sure she'll be able to heal your body.
I'm sure... I'm sure...
So!
By wearing this suit...
From my body...
...heat has vanished...
...warmth has vanished...
And from my heart...
...heat has vanished...
...warmth has vanished...
Yet...
...only the cold remains...
If everyone was with me, I could still feel the warmth.
But... they're gone now...
I want to see them...
I want to see everyone...
I can see them inside the flames...
That's why I burn...
...burn people...
Burning... warms up... a bit...
Warms up my heart...
Corporal, get down!
He detonated it with his flame?
Corporal...
What is that light?
The light that guides people to the swamp of death...
Will o' the wisps...
"They will come forth along with the blue will o' the wisps..."
Hey...
It doesn't have any effect on him!
Corporal!
The flame...
...stops you from breathing...
...stops your brain...
...stops everything...
That flame...
Not even water...
...can stop it...
You lost...
He still has a grenade!
Useless...
I'll burn it before he uses it...
He doesn't have any more strength to throw it...
He blew himself up!
What an idiot!
No...
He's still alive...
Kill... Kill... Kill...
901...
Anti-Tank Trooper...
He blew away the flame...
...and the oil-soaked coat and his top layer of skin altogether...
Kill... Kill... Kill...
Ah... my... protective suit... yet...
Kill... Kill... Kill...
Why didn't you...
...finish me off...
When we first met,
you said this...
...that we're comrades...
They stopped moving.
Aim carefully.
Comrades?
Yeah.
Fire at will!
You... and I...
...are comrades...
Comrades...
Cease fire!
Hey, we hit Mione, too.
Yeah, who shot him?
"We are all servants of the Silver Wheel."
Machs!
LT, I'm so glad you're safe!
You're quite late.
Your job is over.
Corporal!
I see...
Tell everyone to rest well.
It's been three years since the armistice...
...yet why are gunshots being fired all over the place?
Chief, you were here?
I read this...
...your research report from six years ago.
This is amazing!
"...applying a temporary 'skin breathing' to relieve pain..."
If we can complete this research,
then we can revolutionize the treatment of patients with skin damage!
Throw that out.
Umm... but...
It has no use anymore.
Th-That's...
Welcome back, 908 boy...
...to Kauplan's garden.
Mer-kun,
and all Stekkin fans in the world! Thanks for waiting!
I'll dance to a song,
the Pumpkin Scissors onde.
Next time, "A Small Force."
Well then, everyone, clap your hands!
