[00:05] ---
    Have I been making the wrong decisions?
[00:10] ---
    That time...?
[00:13] ---
    That other time?
[00:15] ---
    Will I make the wrong decision again?
[00:22] ---
    Okay, that should be everything
    for the first delivery.
[00:26] ---
    You can catch the next vehicle arriving
    around 4pm to get back to HQ.
[00:31] ---
    All right.
[00:42] ---
    Does shopping for supplies
    always go like this?
[00:45] ---
    Today was mainly just
    personal stuff for our members.
[00:49] ---
    No wonder we had
    such a long shopping list.
[00:52] ---
    Are you Gashin...?
[00:58] ---
    I knew it! It's been so long, Gashin!
[01:04] ---
    Big brother Yuu!
[01:19] ---
    "AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
[02:40] ---
    You're so big now.
[02:42] ---
    You've grown into a handsome guy.
[02:44] ---
    You, in a suit...
    I almost didn't recognize you.
[02:47] ---
    I look good, right?
[02:49] ---
    I'm so glad we bumped into each other.
[02:51] ---
    Is he Tezuka's big brother?
[02:54] ---
    He never said anything
    about having any siblings,
[02:58] ---
    but I've never seen him look like that.
[03:01] ---
    His name is Suenaga Yuusei.
[03:04] ---
    Kei?
[03:05] ---
    He used to live in Yatagarasu HQ
    with his parents.
[03:10] ---
    Both of his parents died in a battle
    against the Asian military.
[03:13] ---
    Gashin's father looked after him,
[03:16] ---
    so he and Gashin were
    raised like brothers.
[03:19] ---
    Three years ago,
    Yuusei left Yatagarasu without a word.
[03:24] ---
    At the time,
    Gashin was feeling really down.
[03:28] ---
    I didn't know...
[03:31] ---
    Oh, look at the time.
[03:35] ---
    Sorry, I have to be somewhere.
[03:37] ---
    Can I get your contact info?
[03:39] ---
    Yeah.
[03:42] ---
    I'll call you later.
    Let's grab a bite or something.
[03:45] ---
    Okay.
[03:51] ---
    Hey, good job!
[03:52] ---
    Thank you for your hard work.
    Did anything happen while you were out?
[03:56] ---
    I saw Yuu.
[03:57] ---
    You saw Yuusei?! Really?!
[04:00] ---
    How is he?
[04:01] ---
    He was wearing a suit.
[04:02] ---
    Him, wearing a suit?!
[04:04] ---
    I would've liked to have seen that.
[04:06] ---
    He looked pretty good.
[04:08] ---
    Tezuka should smile like that more often.
[04:11] ---
    I agree.
[04:12] ---
    Be nice...
[04:19] ---
    Hard copies? That's rare.
[04:21] ---
    The data's gone,
    and this print-out's all that's left.
[04:24] ---
    That was around the time you and Yuusei
    almost got lost in the mountains.
[04:29] ---
    You know about that?
[04:30] ---
    The data was transferred over to me.
[04:33] ---
    I'll never forget that day.
[04:38] ---
    Back then, Yuu and I explored
    the nearby mountains all the time.
[04:43] ---
    One day, we lost our way
    and couldn't get home.
[04:48] ---
    "No service"
    "5% remaining"
    Our cell phones didn't work because of
    electromagnetic interference.
[04:51] ---
    I was so scared, but Yuu, he just...
[04:55] ---
    It'll be okay. I'll protect you
    no matter what.
[04:59] ---
    I'm your big brother. You can trust me.
[05:03] ---
    Yuu...
[05:04] ---
    From that moment, Yuu became my brother
    even if we weren't related by blood.
[05:23] ---
    Hey, how are the new weapons?
[05:26] ---
    Not bad. There's little recoil
    and they're easy to handle.
[05:30] ---
    But the bullet loses
    its stability at mid-range.
[05:33] ---
    I wonder if it was designed
    for short-ranged combat.
[05:37] ---
    I'll adjust what I can.
[05:39] ---
    Thanks.
[05:40] ---
    You got it.
[05:41] ---
    Gashin, you got a
    text message from Yuusei.
[05:52] ---
    Sorry we just tagged along.
[05:55] ---
    No worries. I wanted
    Gashin's friends to see this, too.
[06:00] ---
    They're not my friends.
[06:02] ---
    Let it go.
[06:04] ---
    So, what did you want to show us?
[06:08] ---
    A city I've built for the Japanese people.
[06:19] ---
    It was delicious.
[06:21] ---
    Are all the residents
    who live here Japanese?
[06:24] ---
    Yes. Not one person is from the AFTE here.
[06:28] ---
    It's unofficial, but it's a small city
    with a population of 3,482.
[06:34] ---
    The Japanese people are allowed
    a degree of autonomy here.
[06:36] ---
    And I'm the mayor of this autonomous city.
[06:41] ---
    An autonomous city...
[06:42] ---
    That's amazing...
[06:43] ---
    Oh, Mayor.
[06:45] ---
    Hello!
[06:47] ---
    Thanks for your help the other day.
[06:49] ---
    "Kimono Shop"
    Thanks for your help the other day.
[06:50] ---
    "Kimono Shop" It was nothing.
[06:53] ---
    "Kimono Shop"
    Just don't push yourself too hard,
[06:55] ---
    "Kimono Shop"
    or you'll hurt your hip again.
[06:56] ---
    Yes, of course. I'll be careful.
[06:59] ---
    Looks like he's well-liked.
[07:00] ---
    Looks like it.
[07:01] ---
    Mommy!
[07:03] ---
    What's wrong? Did you get
    separated from your mom?
[07:08] ---
    Oh, it'll be okay. Don't worry.
[07:11] ---
    It'll be okay.
[07:13] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry! I just looked away
    for a few seconds and she...
[07:17] ---
    --Mommy!
    --Don't scare me like that!
[07:19] ---
    I'm glad you found your mom.
[07:21] ---
    Thank you so much, Mayor!
[07:25] ---
    Bye-bye!
[07:26] ---
    My wish is for all our residents
    to feel safe living here.
[07:32] ---
    I believe the Japanese people could be
    protected without sacrificing anyone.
[07:37] ---
    That's why I left Yatagarasu.
[07:40] ---
    What do you mean?
[07:42] ---
    I wanted to go in a different direction.
[07:44] ---
    Yatagarasu chose to fight,
    but I wanted to try another approach.
[07:49] ---
    That's why you created
    this autonomous city.
[07:52] ---
    I had to put in a lot of effort, you know?
[07:54] ---
    It was negotiation after negotiation
    with the Asian military.
[07:57] ---
    My goal is to have this city grow larger.
[08:00] ---
    I want to spread the word about
    the success of this area to everyone.
[08:04] ---
    That's my plan.
[08:07] ---
    Mayor, there you are.
[08:09] ---
    Oh, I didn't realize the time.
[08:12] ---
    Sorry, I'm needed elsewhere.
[08:15] ---
    I'll talk to you later.
    Feel free to walk around the city.
[08:22] ---
    He seems busy.
[08:24] ---
    Yeah.
[08:26] ---
    Are you friends with the mayor?
[08:28] ---
    You should stop by my shop.
[08:30] ---
    Here, take this.
    He takes such good care of us.
[08:33] ---
    U-Um, we're not really...
[08:38] ---
    They gave us so much.
[08:40] ---
    I kinda feel bad.
[08:43] ---
    He really did build this city.
[08:46] ---
    The Asian military allowing
    an autonomous city is unheard of.
[08:51] ---
    He kept his tone light, but he must've
    worked really hard for it.
[08:57] ---
    "Yuu"
[09:00] ---
    Thanks for coming over.
[09:05] ---
    Is this where you work?
[09:07] ---
    Don't stare so much.
[09:09] ---
    Even an illusion of authority
    is important in negotiation.
[09:13] ---
    "Autonomous City Bun"
    Even an illusion of authority
    is important in negotiation.
[09:13] ---
    "Autonomous City Bun"
    You didn't have to give me anything.
    The residents gave us plenty.
[09:15] ---
    You didn't have to give me anything.
    The residents gave us plenty.
[09:17] ---
    That's just an excuse.
    I wanted to talk to you alone.
[09:26] ---
    I'll be direct.
[09:28] ---
    What do you think about
    leaving Yatagarasu to live here, Gashin?
[09:34] ---
    The number of residents is restricted,
    so it isn't easy to bring people in.
[09:39] ---
    But I can negotiate with the military
    if it's just you, a member of my family.
[09:45] ---
    I should be able to get their approval.
[09:47] ---
    No, I will get it.
[09:50] ---
    What do you think?
[09:54] ---
    What are you saying? You think--
[09:56] ---
    I don't want you shooting guns.
[10:00] ---
    I want us to live in this city,
    together, in peace.
[10:04] ---
    Together?
[10:05] ---
    Yes, together.
[10:12] ---
    You don't have to give me
    an answer right away.
[10:14] ---
    I want you to think hard about it
    before answering.
[10:26] ---
    Oh? Is Gashin not with you?
[10:29] ---
    He said he's not hungry.
[10:32] ---
    He seemed off ever since he came back.
[10:35] ---
    Yeah...
[10:36] ---
    Probably some teenage angst.
[10:38] ---
    Just out of nowhere?
[10:39] ---
    Aren't all humans like that?
[10:49] ---
    You're our client's important pilot.
[10:53] ---
    I cannot idly stand by
    and make light of this situation.
[10:57] ---
    What's this about?
[10:59] ---
    Tread carefully.
[11:01] ---
    Suenaga Yuusei...
    He's an Asian military spy.
[11:10] ---
    What did you say?!
[11:11] ---
    Intel is part our business, too.
[11:14] ---
    And we guarantee its accuracy.
[11:17] ---
    If you want, intel on nearby
    Asian military locations is yours.
[11:23] ---
    With the right amount of money, that is.
[11:27] ---
    Suenaga Yuusei worked for the Asian
    military to build that autonomous city.
[11:34] ---
    He confiscated lands, leaked intel,
    exposed renegades,
[11:38] ---
    conducted bribery, sometimes even
    bordering on blackmail.
[11:42] ---
    He sold the Japanese people out
    to protect the Japanese people.
[11:46] ---
    If you stay in contact,
[11:49] ---
    he'll leak any info on Yatagarasu
    to the Asian military.
[11:54] ---
    That'll result in a loss of a brilliant
    pilot and an important client for us.
[12:00] ---
    We'd like to avoid that.
[12:02] ---
    You think I'd believe you?
[12:05] ---
    I can dig deeper, if you'd like?
[12:09] ---
    That's not necessary.
[12:11] ---
    We can keep this talk
    just between the two of us.
[12:15] ---
    As a gesture of goodwill.
[12:22] ---
    Gashin...
[12:23] ---
    You were listening, right?
    I don't want you to tell the others.
[12:28] ---
    I understand...
[12:31] ---
    I don't believe him.
[12:34] ---
    Is Gashin all right?
[12:36] ---
    He's been like that since his father died.
[12:38] ---
    He gets out of control whenever
    we try to drag him outside.
[12:41] ---
    He refuses to eat.
[12:43] ---
    If he keeps this up...
[12:55] ---
    How long are you gonna stay there?
[12:58] ---
    Go away, you're not wanted.
[13:00] ---
    I'm not leaving.
[13:01] ---
    Go away.
[13:02] ---
    I'm not leaving.
[13:03] ---
    Go away!
[13:08] ---
    Why are you crying?
[13:11] ---
    I'm your big brother,
[13:15] ---
    so I'll cry with you
    when you feel like crying.
[13:20] ---
    That's why I'm not leaving.
    We're in this together!
[13:32] ---
    Yuu would never do something so stupid...
[13:39] ---
    I'll find out the truth myself.
[13:50] ---
    I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
[14:02] ---
    I didn't notice the other day,
[14:05] ---
    but you can see signs of
    wear and tear all around.
[14:07] ---
    Everything's a little rundown
    outside of the central area.
[14:11] ---
    Is that road still not fixed?
[14:13] ---
    The bridge over there is still out, too.
[14:16] ---
    It's been three months already.
[14:18] ---
    "Enorei Drug Store"
    It's been three months already.
[14:18] ---
    "Enorei Drug Store"
    You still don't have my medicine?
[14:21] ---
    I'm sorry...
[14:22] ---
    We placed the order,
    but it's not getting delivered.
[14:25] ---
    Could you ask your doctor
    if another drug can be substituted?
[14:28] ---
    That's right, there's not enough
    baby formula and diapers for us.
[14:33] ---
    We're only getting by because
    a friend gave us some.
[14:36] ---
    Household goods are short in supply
    and they're also expensive.
[14:39] ---
    Lots of stores are staying closed, too.
[14:41] ---
    I wish they would do something about that.
[14:43] ---
    I know.
[14:45] ---
    Humans will always wish for more.
[14:48] ---
    The living standards of
    the people here are high.
[14:51] ---
    But once they're accustomed to it,
[14:53] ---
    they start complaining
    about something else.
[14:56] ---
    That vehicle belongs to
    the Asian military...
[15:00] ---
    Gashin, there are only autonomous
    government buildings over there.
[15:10] ---
    What?! That wasn't our agreement!
[15:13] ---
    Rumor has it you're
    experiencing shipment issues.
[15:17] ---
    If all goes well, I promise you this city
    will be prioritized for all shipments.
[15:23] ---
    Your food and medicine
    shortage will be over.
[15:26] ---
    We'll also expedite any
    bridge and road repair work.
[15:31] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[15:34] ---
    This autonomous city is unofficial.
[15:37] ---
    You need to understand that we're
    also going out on a limb here.
[15:42] ---
    I understand.
[15:45] ---
    Use the regular method
    to let us know of your findings.
[15:50] ---
    All right.
[16:04] ---
    Gashin?
[16:05] ---
    Yuu, about what we talked about, I don't--
[16:09] ---
    That's not what I want to
    talk to you about.
[16:11] ---
    We have an emergency.
    I can't talk on the phone.
[16:15] ---
    Can I meet you in person?
[16:17] ---
    Sure, I'm actually in the city now.
    I'll head over to your place.
[16:22] ---
    Let's meet outside the autonomous city
    instead. I'll send you the map data.
[16:26] ---
    Okay, see you then.
[16:35] ---
    Sorry about this. Hop in.
[16:38] ---
    You said you needed to speak to me
    immediately. You sounded desperate.
[16:43] ---
    Yes. As you know, I've negotiated
    with the Asian military
[16:48] ---
    to build an autonomous city
    for the Japanese people.
[16:51] ---
    Because of that connection, I sometimes
    come across certain information.
[16:57] ---
    And what did you learn?
[16:59] ---
    The Asian military is planning a search-
    and-destroy operation against Yatagarasu.
[17:06] ---
    Geographically, our autonomous city
[17:08] ---
    is likely to be occupied
    so they can build a rear base.
[17:14] ---
    I want you to leave this area
    before that happens.
[17:18] ---
    My proposal should benefit us both.
[17:24] ---
    Please consider it.
[17:28] ---
    Mr. Suenaga was here.
[17:30] ---
    Yeah, I wonder what brought him here?
[17:35] ---
    Do you two know something?
[17:38] ---
    N-Nothing! We don't know anything!
[17:40] ---
    Th-That's right!
    Kei didn't tell us anything!
[17:43] ---
    Kei didn't tell us about the Asian
    military or that Suenaga is an Asian--
[17:46] ---
    --Huh?!
    --Idiot!
[17:48] ---
    You two...
[17:51] ---
    --They hid!
    --Gai! Nayuta!
[17:53] ---
    Thank you for this valuable information,
    but you needn't worry.
[17:57] ---
    Meaning...?
[17:59] ---
    We'll be leaving for another
    location in two weeks' time.
[18:03] ---
    You're worried over nothing.
[18:05] ---
    I-I'm glad to hear that,
    but where will you be going?
[18:10] ---
    That's a question better left unanswered.
[18:12] ---
    Don't worry, I promise you
    it's nowhere near here.
[18:17] ---
    Thank you so much.
[18:21] ---
    You should hang out a little longer
    since it's been a while.
[18:24] ---
    I don't want to impose.
[18:29] ---
    Huh?
[18:34] ---
    Looks like a bad inverter and motor.
[18:37] ---
    Your car's quite the vintage.
[18:40] ---
    It's probably cheaper to buy
    a new one than to repair this.
[18:42] ---
    I don't have that kind of money.
[18:45] ---
    Can we fix it?
[18:46] ---
    Maybe by tomorrow morning,
    but even then, it may not be 100%.
[18:51] ---
    Why don't you stay the night,
    since it won't be fixed until the morning?
[18:55] ---
    Are you okay with that?
[18:57] ---
    Yes.
[18:58] ---
    I'll take you up on your offer, then.
[19:23] ---
    Stop.
[19:25] ---
    You weren't expecting a jamming signal
    covering this entire area, where you?
[19:32] ---
    You rigged your car
    so the motor would break down.
[19:36] ---
    You're good. You fooled
    our maintenance guy.
[19:38] ---
    You knew?
[19:40] ---
    I wanted to believe
    you would never do such a thing.
[19:45] ---
    I didn't have a choice.
[19:47] ---
    I know.
[19:48] ---
    Then let me go!
[19:51] ---
    I wasn't lying when I said
    we should live together.
[19:55] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[19:58] ---
    By the way, the additional
    resident you requested?
[20:02] ---
    I'll make an exception
    and grant that as well.
[20:06] ---
    At first, it started with just
    giving them small bits of intel.
[20:10] ---
    But they started demanding more,
    and then it was too late to turn back.
[20:16] ---
    I just wanted to protect someone.
[20:20] ---
    The data you stole has our relocation
    destination and blueprint.
[20:26] ---
    It's only a matter of
    who will be the victims
[20:28] ---
    if the Asian military gets that data.
[20:31] ---
    I have my hands full
    protecting my autonomous city!
[20:34] ---
    I know people are complaining!
[20:36] ---
    But that place is still my utopia!
[20:41] ---
    Put the gun down.
[20:43] ---
    Gashin!
[20:46] ---
    It's true, we're moving our HQ.
[20:49] ---
    But it's in a few days, not two weeks.
[20:53] ---
    Our destination's completely different
    from what's in that data.
[20:58] ---
    It'll take about half a day
    to get to a city with reception.
[21:01] ---
    The military will then have to
    analyze the data you send.
[21:05] ---
    It'll be another few days for them
    to arrange and deploy troops.
[21:09] ---
    By that time, we'd be long gone
    and back into hiding.
[21:12] ---
    So Mr. Udou and Mr. Kumai...
[21:16] ---
    They were in on it
    after I explained the situation.
[21:21] ---
    Looks like I've been played.
[21:23] ---
    You completed your mission
    when you stole our intel.
[21:27] ---
    You can explain to them that we
    moved quickly and were very careful.
[21:33] ---
    I never imagined I'd be at your mercy.
[21:36] ---
    I'll lose the Asian military's trust.
[21:39] ---
    Three years of hard work
    will go down the drain.
[21:43] ---
    Yuu...
[21:44] ---
    Never call me that again!
[21:48] ---
    Shoot me if you want.
    I'm not going to give up so easily.
[21:55] ---

[22:00] ---
    No matter how dirty my hands get.
[22:16] ---
    Is this another mistake?

    "Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
    Yeah. Mr. Suenaga was gone
    before anyone realized it.
[24:01] ---
    Yeah, well, it'll be fine.
[24:03] ---
    That's right. Anyway,
    we have a new mission.
[24:07] ---
    --A mission?
    --Yup, and it'll be quite the challenge.
