You think so?

Oh, Tajima-chan! Hello!

Good morning!

Thank you so much for coming.

President Kanie, you came personally?

Get that straight, you hear?
**[05:21] Okino**
Sorry.
**[05:23] Miyuki**
So you can drive trailers,
too, President Kanie?
**[05:26] Kanie**
If it's got tires, I can drive it.
**[05:30] Kanie**

**[05:32] Okino**
Just leave the running of this one to me!
**[05:35] Okino**
Oh, is this our first time meeting?
**[05:37] Miyuki**
Yes, though we've talked
on the phone a few times.
**[05:40] Okino**
Then, let's do this properly. I'm your new

**[06:31] Okino**
I handled its development myself.
**[06:34] Okino**
My very first robot!
**[06:40] Okino**
For safety, I made the cockpit out of an airtight,
pressure-resistant titanium alloy frame.
**[06:45] Okino**
and the main hatch uses
composite laminate armor.
**[06:48] Muto**
How do you see out of it?

info on the terrain,
**[07:03] Okino**
it can provide aiming assistance.
**[07:06] Okino**
Not to mention...
**[07:08] Muto**
Well, I don't need all the technical details.
**[07:11] Muto**
Heavy machinery can be
run on spirit and grit alone.

to change up the logo!

**[08:23] Tajima**
Oh. Okay, I see.

Can you tell me more about it?

The plan I'm thinking of involves—

The alarm!

Where is it?

Upper right.

**[08:52] Tajima**
Most likely.

It's moving west from the 1F area.

It's heading straight into the residential area!

**[09:08] Okino**
O-Oh, uh, yeah, um, sorry.

I should've knocked.
**[09:12] Tajima**
Can you handle it?
**[09:13] Okino**
Come again?
**[09:15] Tajima**
I want you out there in Bullbuster.

Contract, contract...
**[11:05] Muto**
That thing's approaching a residential area!
**[11:08] Tajima**
I'm sorry, Mr. Kataoka.
It was an emergency situation.
**[11:12] Kataoka**
It may be a residential area, but no one
lives there now. It's not urgent at all.
**[11:17] Tajima**
Kataoka-san, you've got it all wrong.
**[11:20] Tajima**
Our job is to preserve the island
so that its residents can return at any time.
**[11:26] Kataoka**
All the more *reason*...
**[11:27] Kataoka**
to get Okino-kun's contract of
employment properly signed and sealed.
**[11:32] Kanie**
That's right! It would be simply awful
if something went wrong on the job.
**[11:36] Okino**
I've got health insurance, though.

I mean with the robot. They're just leasing it.

That's strange.
**[11:45] Kanie**
Right, Kataoka-san?

Why is it always at times like this?
**[11:49] Kataoka**
Well, I suppose.
**[11:50] Muto**
Would you people just—
**[11:52] Tajima**
Muto-san.
**[11:53] Tajima**
Get the barge ready first.
**[11:55] Muto**
Tch. Fine.
**[11:57] Kataoka**
We'll take liability for repairs
in the event of any damages.
**[12:03] Tajima**
Kataoka-san, can't we just—
**[12:05] Kataoka**
I told you, we need to get
this squared away properly!
**[12:09] Kataoka**
If Okino-kun gets injured, who takes
responsibility? Us or Kanie-san?
**[12:17] Okino**
Seriously, I'll be fine.
**[12:19] Okino**
I basically never get hurt—
**[12:21] Kataoka**
That's not the point! This is a business!
And we need to act like it!
**[12:25] Miyuki**
I'm so sorry!
**[12:27] Miyuki**
I can't get it to print!
**[12:30] Kataoka**
Why don't you have spares ready to go?
**[12:33] Kanie**
Can't you just write it
by hand or something?
**[12:35] Kataoka**
That's true.

**[18:51] Okino**
Yes!
**[18:54] Okino**
It didn't do any damage?
**[18:57] Okino**
No, it did work.
**[18:59] Okino**
In that case...
**[19:12] Muto**
See that?
**[19:13] Muto**
Bipedal robots won't do the trick!
**[19:17] Muto**
Hey, Arumi! Don't be crazy!
**[19:20] Muto**
Damn it.
**[19:25] Arumi**
Please turn over.
**[19:36] Okino**
Damn it!
**[19:37] Okino**
In that case...
**[19:48] Okino**
It's gonna tear me apart.
**[19:51] Okino**
Not good, not good, not good.
**[19:53] Okino**
What do I do?
**[19:55] Okino**
What now?
**[20:05] Muto**
I wasn't sure that'd actually work.
**[20:07] Muto**
And I can't believe it did!
**[20:10] Arumi**
Get out of there, fast!
**[20:16] Arumi**
Out of ammo?
**[20:20] Muto**
Arumi!
**[20:25] Muto**
Arumi! Run!
**[20:28] Muto**
Over here! Look at me!
**[20:39] Okino**
*The bigger the enemy, the bigger the target.*
**[20:42] Okino**
*Which means I've got the upper hand.*
**[20:44] Okino**
The advantages of bipedal movement
**[20:46] Okino**
are mobility and effortless
navigation of uneven terrain!
**[20:54] Muto**
New Model! It's charging again!
**[20:58] Okino**
I can...
**[21:01] Okino**
...take it!
**[21:07] Okino**
Auto balance, activate.
**[21:21] Okino**
Finally!
**[21:23] Okino**
Take this!
**[21:40] Okino**
Yes!
**[21:43] Okino**
This is the power of the new model
I created. The power of Bullbuster!
**[21:52] Muto**
You saved our butts.
**[21:54] Arumi**
Were you hurt?
**[21:56] Muto**
I'm fine.
**[21:58] Muto**

Report
**[22:52] Okino**
This is...
**[22:54] Muto**
We call them Giant Beasts.
**[22:56] Miyuki**
Don't push yourself too hard.
**[22:58] Tajima**
That's it!
**[22:59] Okino**
I put everything I am into that robot!
**[23:01] Arumi**
Our work isn't all fun and
games like you think it is.
**[23:05] Arumi**
Don't treat it like a video game.
**[23:07] Kataoka**
That's what it means...
**[23:09] Kataoka**
to be a company!
