Please wait!
Rihito's going through a surgery that might kill him? It's too sudden...
I've already explained this.
This is for your protection.
We can't accept that!
Yeah! Why only Rihito?!
We, Class A , are one!
If we have to fight, we'll fight together!
--Yeah!
--We will! --Yeah!
--We will! --It's not possible.
You all have only received six months or so of training.
There's no way you can beat a professional soldier.
How can you say that without--?
You need a wizard.
Or do you just want to die meaninglessly on the battlefield?
Second Lieutenant Firenda is right.
If there's a chance that everyone can survive, I want to take it.
Hey, Pudding...
Pudding?
Err, I mean, Rihito.
Are you maybe trying to fight on your own... to protect your classmates?
That type of cool move wouldn't be in character for me.
I'm also weak, like you can see.
Without your help, I can't do anything.
But what if you did become just that powerful, Rihito?
Still, we'll fight together.
The army that doesn't kill is a thing we must become together.
I hate you...
So you want to just let Licht get the operation?!
"Tray return" "Order here" So you want to just let Licht get the operation?!
"Kitchen" "Tray return" So you want to just let Licht get the operation?!
"Kitchen" "Tray return" I told you, there is nothing more we can do here.
--Yes, but...
--She's right, sir, if Pudding becomes an Ace... --Yes, but...
--She's right, sir, if Pudding becomes an Ace...
What would we do if we return to the future and find Alcia totally missing?
Are you saying you can sacrifice every person living in Alcia, just to save him?
If you are, then I will stop you, with all of my might.
Fortunately, we know Licht's operation will succeed.
We should just sit and wait.
I understand.
Okay, I'm off then.
See ya...
Good luck...
This is our last chance...
...to change Pudding's past... If we don't do it now, there's no more saving him...
Now is the only...
Rihito!
Lynn...?
I'll be fine.
Yes. Good luck...
"Operation in progress"
Beginning operation.
He's going to be fine, right?
Of course.
Yeah...
It'll be fine...
Of course it'll be fine.
I can fight, too...
I can fight alongside Rihito- senpai ...
Stop being stupid!
What can you do?! Huh?
That hurts! Please stop, Taketora...
You're just a weak little cockroach.
No surgery or whatever can ever change that!
It's all worthless!
That's not right...
I can be alongside Rihito- senpai and...
My star...!
Give it back! Taketora!
No. This is mine--
You again.
You are being an idiot as usual.
None of your business!
Please, I need your stars again!
What?
Without the stars, I... Please!
Why do you think they gave her a gun and nobody else?
Answer: because she's weak. Weaklings go to war to die.
I tried to save her life by getting her expelled from here.
A charitable act, you know.
Perhaps.
Please, I need your stars.
I'll do anything...
No.
If your stars are so precious, why do you not protect them with your life?
I've been bullied all my life...
Only Rihito- senpai protected me.
That's why I have to become a soldier...
If I don't stay near Rihito- senpai , I'll get bullied again...
That is just a dependence.
But still--
Know this. Have conviction.
Conviction...?
If you desire strength, have conviction.
I don't understand... I don't...
Come on...
We couldn't stop it...
What choice did we have? We can't eliminate the people of Alcia.
It's not just that.
Do you remember? How Pudding saved me in Homhough?
It made me so happy.
To think that, if we changed the past, that event might never happen...
I didn't want to lose that memory...
To think that the Pudding that I like would go away, I couldn't...
I'm an awful person. I was supposed to save Pudding, but I...
I'm a terrible person... But I...
Sergeant Major...
Eat!
Idiots with too much on their minds should eat to get rid of that!
Who cares?
The war, the Aces, all that complicated stuff--who cares?
You're too stupid for that stuff.
You like Mr. Pudding, just the way you met him in Homhough, right?
Is it that wrong to like someone and hope they won't change?
But... But...
Stop making me horny, idiot...
--Huh?
--Listen! --Huh?
--Listen!
You like him and didn't want him to change.
That's enough of a reason to not be able to stop things!
Stop trying to blame yourself, you're too stupid for that!
Pele?
Is that so?
Lynn, you like Licht!
I'm sorry, Hina... You're his girlfriend.
I'm not his girlfriend.
--Huh?
--I'm not his girlfriend! --Huh?
--I'm not his girlfriend!
But you like him, too, don't you?
No? Or rather, I don't know.
After all, Licht is my first male acquaintance ever, so...
I don't know if this is that exact emotion...
But anyway, we still have a way of saving Licht.
I've been thinking this whole time.
To stop Licht from becoming an Ace...
We have to stop Licht from becoming "that" Ace.
Licht promised everyone that he'll become the army that doesn't kill.
If we can win the war without making him kill anyone from here on out...
Alcia would be created the same?!
Yes. Licht treasures us classmates so deeply--enough to sacrifice himself.
As long as we're at his side...
I see. It may be worth a try.
First Lieutenant?!
If the Class A classmates are by his side,
he would not get into the 300-year habit of wearing peculiar masks.
We should be able to save that woman, Nana, as well.
Wait a second.
The reason our side wins the war is
because Mr. Pudding becomes an Ace and goes on a killing spree.
You saw it, too. That terrifying strength as an Ace. Without it--
No!
Regular Licht is much stronger than "that" Licht!
Huh?
I agree.
You, too?!
I do not know how to say this accurately,
but when I fought him in Homhough, he felt much stronger.
I hate to admit that, but...
We can try.
The thing we need to change in the past is to make sure Licht doesn't kill anyone!
Hey, you all.
Good news from Firenda.
That operation. It's working out fine!
Hey, everyone!
Licht's surgery is going well!
--Yes!
--Yeah! --Yes!
--I'm so glad.
--I'm impressed. --I'm so glad.
--Huh? --I'm so glad.
--Huh? --When do you want to throw him a party?
--This whole time, Hina was thinking about how to save Pudding. --When do you want to throw him a party?
--This whole time, Hina was thinking about how to save Pudding. --It's too early for that!
--Meanwhile, I... --It's too early for that!
I just gave up and cried...
I need to change.
I don't know, I think you're okay as you are.
Huh...?
Your Count is based on helping people. You're soft.
No matter what you do, you'll always have trouble.
Being in trouble, but not being able to do anything is just who you are.
Maybe there's someone out there who likes you the way you are.
Huh?
Just like how you thought you didn't want Mr. Pudding to change,
there might be someone who wishes you stayed the same, too.
Oh, come on. Who could possibly--
--There is.
--Huh? Where? --There is.
--Huh? Where?
Well...
Pele--
What's this?
Something's here.
What is that? That's a Joint Force chopper...
Could it be...? No, I'm overthinking it.
Althing hasn't allowed any war until March of next year...
They've tricked us...
Am I missing something...?
Something...?
Everyone! Evacuate into the buildings!
This is Jericho 3, entering the eastern wing now.
The "Main Body" should be somewhere in this school.
Find it!
What... What is this?
Sergeant, what do we do with them?
Kill them.
No! Help!
But they're just kids...
Who cares? Our orders are to kill everyone.
This war is no-holds-barred.
What a waste. But orders are orders.
Do you want to die?! Shoot, Sonohara!
--Help me, Rihito- senpai ... Help me...
--Come on! Sonohara! --Help me, Rihito- senpai ... Help me...
Dammit!
Help me, Rihito- senpai ...
Dammit all!
Stop it!
What is this smoke? A smokescreen?!
Enemy sighted!
Ichinose!
Thanks...
Hurry! The smoke won't last long.
You! Over here!
What's going on?
Althing said no war until next March...
How did this...?
Are you there, Captain?
Yes. What's going on?
They re-did the vote.
What?!
There are seven Ballots that can cast a vote in Althing.
Other countries of the world own a total of four, more than half.
In other words, the rest of the world tricked us.
We had our guard down, and they changed the ban to September without telling us!
Are you enjoying this?
What? Impossible, that would be inappropriate.
Anyway, we have a problem.
They have cut our power. This will kill Rihito.
Licht?!
How?
The operation was going smoothly.
However, the genetic injections cannot be stopped manually.
He is way over capacity already.
Soon, his body will begin rejecting the procedure and enter cardiac arrest.
No...
Someone needs to start the backup power as soon as possible.
That is the only way we can save Rihito.
But they've taken control of the whole school!
We'd have to march through the entire enemy force.
But we have to save Licht!
We have no choice but to go.
Yes.
It's life-threatening. Volunteers only.
I'll go. For our commander.
Class A is a single "army that won't kill"!
I'm going ahead.
Hurry, everyone!
Dammit!
Are you all right, Ichinose?!
Genji!
No!
I'll apply first aid.
Genji?!
Are you all right?!
Go ahead!
What?!
I've got this!
Licht... Please save Licht!
I understand.
Come.
Where are the others?
They are coming soon.
I see...
The backup power?
It's about 50 meters away, on the right-hand side of the gym warehouse.
Let's go now!
Stop!
Rushing in will cost lives.
Watch.
It would take you less than six seconds to get there,
but it would take you less than one second to die.
We're surrounded.
Any other way?
No.
But how...?
We have to hurry, or else Licht...
I'll draw attention.
Let the adults do those things.
When I signal, run straight. Never stop!
Go!
Yes!
Captain?!
You have your orders! Don't stop! Go now!
Y-Yes!
I guess this is better than watching kids die...
I'm counting on you, four-eyes...
Don't give me that look. Just tell us where it's hidden.
Not feeling like talking?
Hina! Run!
Impressive guts. But I'm not just playing around.
Please help us, Licht...
Licht...
Licht!
"Episode 16 - 'The War of Waste Disposal'"
I'm in love.
T-Tokikaze?! Did you bump your head? Was there something in your food?!
Marriage is on the table.
Someone! Call an ambulance!
Why would you do that?!
