**[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...
