[00:12] ---
    Including the higher-ups,
[00:14] ---
    most of them seemed to think
    we need to shoot people.
[00:18] ---
    Do you agree with that?
[00:20] ---
    What?
[00:21] ---
    No, not really.
[00:24] ---
    I can't shoot anybody either.
    It's scary.
[00:30] ---
    Yuma-kun, want to come to HQ with me?
[00:34] ---
    Reiji-san's driving us.
[00:37] ---
    Yeah, I'll go.
    How about you, Hyuse?
[00:40] ---
    I'm a "secret weapon."
[00:42] ---
    I shouldn't stand out at HQ.
[00:46] ---
    Did I make you wait?
[00:48] ---
    Well then, I'll play with you kids
    before the next match.
[00:53] ---
    That's my line, doofus.
[00:56] ---
    Yoo-hoo!
[00:58] ---
    Chika-chan! Izuho-chan!
[01:01] ---
    Hi there!
[01:15] ---
    The more I hope not to lose
    what's most precious to me
[01:19] ---
    They slip through my fingers
    by way of cruel fate
[01:24] ---
    More means of reclaiming
    our stolen time and hearts
[01:28] ---
    I know that's what
    we're painfully lacking
[01:32] ---
    Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
    The siren falls on deaf ears
[01:37] ---
    I stood there, watching you depart
[01:41] ---
    Should be weaker than glass
    A bullet should pierce through
[01:45] ---
    And I pulled the trigger
[01:49] ---
    There's something I need to protect
[01:53] ---
    The hopes of thousands
    are on my shoulders
[01:58] ---
    I will become the wind
[02:02] ---
    And promise to reach our goal
[02:07] ---
    The yearning that connects
    our past and present
[02:14] ---
    Illuminates the path to our future
[02:20] ---
    Embracing our overlapping histories,
    the light radiates brightly
[02:36] ---
    Choice
[02:42] ---
    At one o'clock.
    90 meters away, lower position.
[02:51] ---
    We have
    radar search training today.
[02:55] ---
    You shoot the targets
    on the radar.
[03:00] ---
    Non-designated targets
    don't give you points.
[03:05] ---
    The next target comes up
    when you hit one.
[03:10] ---
    Your score hinges on how many targets
    you hit within the given time.
[03:17] ---
    Hooray! My personal best!
[03:20] ---
    You're in good shape.
[03:22] ---
    It's all thanks to you and Yuzuru!
[03:25] ---
    Still, I'm far from
    reaching the top 15%.
[03:28] ---
    And the top 15% includes
    regular agents.
[03:32] ---
    But some of them
    don't join every training
[03:36] ---
    or don't work hard.
[03:38] ---
    Getting to the top five in C-Rank
    may be good enough.
[03:42] ---
    That goal's already tough for me.
[03:48] ---
    Oh, Kitty.
[03:50] ---
    Kitty and Amatori-chan.
    What's up?
[03:54] ---
    Hello.
[03:56] ---
    Hey, you're the Oki who missed
    the crucial shot in the last match.
[04:01] ---
    - Huh?
    - No, no.
[04:03] ---
    I had a reason, Toma-san.
[04:05] ---
    What kind of reason?
[04:07] ---
    Since I'm an only child,
[04:09] ---
    I've been wanting
    a little sister like Amatori-chan.
[04:14] ---
    No, you just flinched
    during the standoff.
[04:18] ---
    Nah, I mean it's not so easy
    to shoot a cute girl. Right?
[04:22] ---
    Oh, um...
[04:27] ---
    Stop it, Oki senpai.
[04:29] ---
    Look, she's feeling awkward.
[04:31] ---
    What's wrong?
[04:33] ---
    Oki senpai, what about me?
[04:35] ---
    Hmm...
[04:37] ---
    It'd be hard to shoot you too.
[04:39] ---
    Yay!
[04:41] ---
    Ah, found ya, Kitty.
[04:46] ---
    Oh, it's from Kage-san.
[04:49] ---
    We're invited to his place.
[04:50] ---
    Sounds nice.
    Izuho, Chikako, any plans after this?
[04:55] ---
    Reiji-san will
    come pick me up at six.
[04:58] ---
    Until then, we'll train
    with Hiura senpai.
[05:01] ---
    Kitty!
[05:03] ---
    I'm going back to train too.
[05:05] ---
    Alright then, see you guys.
[05:09] ---
    Yuzuru-kun.
[05:11] ---
    See you in the next match.
[05:15] ---
    Yeah, in the next match.
[05:18] ---
    Okonomiyaki Kageura
[05:22] ---
    Hup!
[05:25] ---
    Whoa, you're good at that.
[05:27] ---
    Nice job.
[05:30] ---
    Sauce.
[05:33] ---
    Mayo.
[05:35] ---
    And bonito flakes.
[05:37] ---
    Wow, it's like they're alive!
[05:51] ---
    Yummy!
[05:52] ---
    See? It's great, huh?
[05:55] ---
    Yum-yum.
[05:56] ---
    Don't get burned.
[05:57] ---
    Thanks.
[06:01] ---
    By the way, Kage,
    you seem to like Kuga a lot.
[06:05] ---
    Huh?
[06:06] ---
    True. You even invited him
    to this restaurant.
[06:09] ---
    Kage got a new friend,
    that makes me happy.
[06:13] ---
    Shut up.
[06:14] ---
    This guy's different from the others.
[06:18] ---
    In most cases, I feel a tingling here
[06:22] ---
    saying that they're going to attack.
[06:25] ---
    Thanks to my crappy Side Effect.
[06:29] ---
    But his case is different.
[06:31] ---
    I can't read him,
    he's like a machine or bug.
[06:34] ---
    Bug?
[06:35] ---
    The only other guy who fights me
[06:38] ---
    without giving me that feeling
    is Azuma.
[06:43] ---
    Fighting with them thrills me.
    It's fun.
[06:47] ---
    So I like him.
[06:48] ---
    I see, a sword without a mind.
[06:51] ---
    Hm, I don't get it.
[06:59] ---
    Aside from this, Kuga...
[07:02] ---
    He has a crush on
    that little sniper on your squad.
[07:06] ---
    Oh, you've got a good eye.
[07:09] ---
    She's a nice and strong-willed girl.
[07:14] ---
    Yuzuru has a girlfriend.
    That makes me happy.
[07:18] ---
    You're always crying, Zoe.
[07:20] ---
    Nothing happy here.
[07:22] ---
    He intends to throw
    the next match.
[07:26] ---
    Yuzuru, are you throwing the match
    for Amatori-chan?
[07:31] ---
    Our squad isn't
    aiming for the expedition.
[07:35] ---
    Shouldn't we give the chance
    to those who truly want it then?
[07:40] ---
    Even so,
    throwing a match sounds a bit...
[07:43] ---
    Well, you don't have to
    worry about that.
[07:47] ---
    She's already going.
[07:50] ---
    Huh?
[07:51] ---
    What do you mean?
[07:53] ---
    They said her massive amount of Trion
    allows for a bigger ship.
[08:00] ---
    Kido-san wants to gather
    a bunch of agents.
[08:03] ---
    So we were asked to lend her.
[08:06] ---
    Yeah, we got a notice lately
[08:08] ---
    that a few B-Ranks
    will also be chosen for the mission.
[08:13] ---
    The Away Ship's small, so they
    want to make it bigger with her Trion.
[08:19] ---
    When she's already on the squads,
[08:21] ---
    you have no reason to lose
    on purpose for her.
[08:26] ---
    It's only her
    who's assigned to the mission.
[08:30] ---
    Going with her mates would be
    more reassuring than going alone.
[08:34] ---
    Hmm?
[08:35] ---
    That makes sense.
[08:39] ---
    You've got an answer
    for everything, huh?
[08:43] ---
    Welcome!
[08:46] ---
    Oh? Look.
[08:48] ---
    What meeting is this?
[08:50] ---
    Hey, Arafune and Hokari.
[08:52] ---
    Hi, Arafune-san.
[08:56] ---
    I see.
[08:58] ---
    I think I understand.
[09:03] ---
    It doesn't seem complicated.
[09:06] ---
    To be with her, you can join
    the expedition as an individual, Ema.
[09:12] ---
    Me? On the Away Squads?
[09:14] ---
    Then you don't have to
    lose on purpose,
[09:16] ---
    and she doesn't
    have to be lonely there.
[09:20] ---
    That's simple.
[09:21] ---
    I see.
[09:23] ---
    Go protect her yourself
    if you're worried about her.
[09:28] ---
    Myself...
[09:30] ---
    Well...it doesn't matter
    whether you throw the match or not.
[09:36] ---
    In any case, we'll win.
[09:45] ---
    Oh, wait.
    Where are you going, Yuzuru?
[09:48] ---
    Back to the base.
[09:50] ---
    I'm going to review
    Tamakoma's logs.
[10:00] ---
    That idiot left money.
[10:03] ---
    I told him it's on me.
[10:05] ---
    But his mind seems clear now.
[10:07] ---
    Looks like he's not going to lose.
[10:10] ---
    Great. It's all thanks to you,
    Arafune-kun.
[10:13] ---
    Is that so?
[10:15] ---
    I'm not sure if anyone has
    ever intentionally lost,
[10:18] ---
    but he'd get lectured
    if he does it.
[10:21] ---
    That wouldn't be a problem.
[10:24] ---
    If it were, it'd also apply to Chikako,
    who doesn't want to shoot people.
[10:30] ---
    Hm.
[10:31] ---
    Is it really true
    that she can't shoot people?
[10:35] ---
    Well...I don't know.
[10:38] ---
    Come on, it's already obvious.
[10:41] ---
    She had chances to score
    with normal shots.
[10:47] ---
    It may be our trap
    to make you think that way.
[10:50] ---
    You'd set a trap
    by losing potential points?
[10:54] ---
    That's true.
[10:56] ---
    So that's why she uses the Lead Bullet.
[10:59] ---
    I like that tactic though.
[11:02] ---
    What's up with Tamakoma's little girl?
[11:04] ---
    Review the logs more diligently.
[11:08] ---
    But I'm glad Amatori-chan
    can't shoot people.
[11:12] ---
    Or she'd be invincible
    with all that Trion.
[11:15] ---
    I'm sure she can.
[11:30] ---
    Chikako can shoot people.
[11:33] ---
    If she wanted to.
[11:34] ---
    But you said so yourself, Toma-kun...
[11:37] ---
    I said she doesn't
    want to shoot people.
[11:41] ---
    I never said she can't.
[11:45] ---
    She just needs to switch a Lead Bullet
    off to a regular one halfway.
[11:52] ---
    It's simple.
[11:53] ---
    It's not easy for her
    because it's not in her nature.
[11:57] ---
    Listen.
[11:59] ---
    I know some people
    don't like attacking others.
[12:03] ---
    They aren't cut out for fighting.
[12:07] ---
    Those people in Border either become
    operators or engineers
[12:11] ---
    while they're still C-Ranks.
[12:13] ---
    The right person for the right job.
[12:16] ---
    But, is Chikako someone like that?
    The answer is no.
[12:21] ---
    She's not shy about shooting for backup
[12:25] ---
    and not scared of being shot.
[12:27] ---
    She even helped Four-Eyes
    slaughter Kashio yesterday.
[12:32] ---
    I see her as a person
    with a battle-oriented mentality.
[12:38] ---
    She just doesn't want to
    shoot people on her own.
[12:43] ---
    She doesn't want to,
    rather than can't?
[12:46] ---
    Those are the same, aren't they?
[12:49] ---
    Not at all.
    It's like zero differs from one.
[12:53] ---
    Those who can't shoot
    will never shoot, but
[12:56] ---
    those who don't want to
    will shoot when cornered.
[13:00] ---
    You'd eat anything
    when starving to death.
[13:04] ---
    I don't think I could eat bugs
    no matter how hungry I got.
[13:09] ---
    I can't imagine you starving to death.
[13:13] ---
    Since she'll be on the mission,
[13:16] ---
    push her to the edge
    and make her ready to shoot people.
[13:21] ---
    That could save her life after all.
[13:25] ---
    Hm.
[13:30] ---
    Hey, you lonely boys.
[13:33] ---
    I, Hikari, am here for you!
[13:36] ---
    Too late. We're already done.
[13:39] ---
    Make some for me now.
[13:41] ---
    Hi there!
    Arafune and Pokari!
[13:57] ---
    Toma senpai told you that?
[14:00] ---
    He looked certain
    Chika can shoot people.
[14:04] ---
    It's true
[14:06] ---
    that she doesn't shoot on her own
    but is eager to get points.
[14:11] ---
    Toma senpai said
    we should push her to her limit,
[14:15] ---
    then she'll do it.
[14:18] ---
    I don't really want to
    corner her though.
[14:21] ---
    Me too. And I don't know exactly
    how to do that.
[14:27] ---
    So what have you been up to?
[14:29] ---
    I was reviewing
    our next opponents' logs.
[14:32] ---
    Especially...
[14:34] ---
    Suzunari-1 was moving differently,
    much better than before.
[14:40] ---
    I'm sure they checked our logs too
[14:42] ---
    and are ready to counter
    the Wire Strategy.
[14:46] ---
    Maybe I should get some new Triggers.
[14:54] ---
    Um...
[14:55] ---
    I'm not sure about that.
[14:57] ---
    Is it no good?
[14:59] ---
    How should I put it?
    Hmm...
[15:03] ---
    Let's say
    this cookie dough is your Trion.
[15:07] ---
    Just equipping Triggers
    needs a certain amount of Trion.
[15:14] ---
    Asteroid, Raygust, Thruster...
[15:18] ---
    Bagworm, Spider, Shield...
[15:22] ---
    Trion body, regular equipment, and...
[15:27] ---
    The Bailout system.
[15:29] ---
    And then, the rest is used for energy
    for bullets and shields, and so on.
[15:35] ---
    Bailout looks huge.
[15:37] ---
    Adding new triggers here...
[15:40] ---
    will bring down
    your combat Trion even more.
[15:44] ---
    Your Trigger set is already
    at the limit of your Trion amount.
[15:49] ---
    SUB: Asteroid, Shield, Bagworm
    MAIN: Raygust, Thruster, Spider
[15:49] ---
    If you want a new one, you should
    take out one you already have,
[15:54] ---
    Asteroid, Thruster
[15:56] ---
    or ask Yuma-kun to use a new Trigger
    who has a surplus of Trion.
[16:01] ---
    I see.
[16:03] ---
    I'd rather not have new Triggers.
[16:07] ---
    SUB: Scorpion, Grasshopper, Shield, Bagworm
    MAIN: Scorpion, Grasshopper, Shield
[16:07] ---
    Since adding Grasshopper,
    I'm used to my set.
[16:11] ---
    I might mess up switching
    if I change now.
[16:14] ---
    I see.
[16:15] ---
    We have Hyuse-kun,
    our secret weapon,
[16:18] ---
    so I don't think you need
    anything new this time.
[16:23] ---
    Yes...you have a point.
[16:35] ---
    That does sound difficult, but...
[16:38] ---
    our team has changed now.
[16:40] ---
    If so, you won't be overwhelmed
    by any opponents.
[16:45] ---
    He looked certain
    Chika can shoot people.
[16:49] ---
    Our squad is growing well.
[16:53] ---
    And the next match isn't
    hopeless at all.
[16:56] ---
    But...
[17:01] ---
    Why am I still feeling uneasy
    deep in my heart?
[17:29] ---
    March 1,
    The Day of B-Rank Wars Round 7
[17:33] ---
    Hyuse-kun, today is
    your B-Rank debut match.
[17:37] ---
    Feeling nervous?
[17:38] ---
    Nervous?
[17:40] ---
    Who do you think I am?
[17:42] ---
    Let's finish it quickly.
[17:45] ---
    We're fully prepared.
[17:50] ---
    I'll be watching from here.
[17:54] ---
    Nobody in this team gets butterflies.
[17:57] ---
    Even Chika-chan moved well
    from the start.
[18:00] ---
    I don't think so.
[18:06] ---
    Hey, Four-Eyes.
    Any concerns?
[18:10] ---
    Jin-san.
[18:13] ---
    I don't really get it myself,
[18:15] ---
    but something bothers me.
[18:18] ---
    The map Suzunari-1 chooses
    can affect things in all respects.
[18:23] ---
    We'll do fine with any map.
[18:27] ---
    Hyuse and I polished our combo moves.
[18:30] ---
    But...that's not
    what I'm worried about.
[18:34] ---
    Something feels different than usual.
[18:38] ---
    It's like I'm going the wrong way
    without realizing it.
[18:42] ---
    That's how I feel.
[18:45] ---
    Hmm?
[18:45] ---
    Alright, time to go.
[18:48] ---
    Get in Reiji's car or mine.
[18:51] ---
    Our squad's so big
    we need two cars.
[19:02] ---
    Four-Eyes.
[19:04] ---
    A piece of advice from me.
[19:08] ---
    Do not waver.
[19:15] ---
    Yes, sir!
[19:19] ---
    Good day. I, Yuitsuka, am giving
    commentary on the B-Rank Wars Round 7.
[19:21] ---
    A-Rank #8, Katagiri Squad,
    Karin Yuitsuka (17)
[19:25] ---
    I have Ninomiya Squad's
    Inukai senpai
[19:28] ---
    and Arashiyama Squad's
    Captain Arashiyama.
[19:31] ---
    Hi guys.
[19:32] ---
    Glad to be here.
[19:35] ---
    How have you been?
[19:36] ---
    I've been good.
[19:38] ---
    Find any hot guys
    on your scouting mission?
[19:41] ---
    Most nominees were
    middle schoolers,
[19:44] ---
    so they weren't so hot...
[19:46] ---
    You were really looking for one?
[19:48] ---
    Huh?! You're so mean!
[19:50] ---
    Just kidding.
    Don't take it seriously.
[19:55] ---
    Well then...
[19:57] ---
    Let me ask you two
    about today's match.
[20:01] ---
    We must talk first
    about Tamakoma's new face.
[20:02] ---
    Tamakoma-2
    Hyuse Kronin, Attacker
[20:05] ---
    That's right.
[20:06] ---
    Few squads grow
    at this point in the season.
[20:10] ---
    Will their teamwork be okay?
[20:12] ---
    Also, he just made B-Rank?
[20:14] ---
    Actually, I don't think
    he's an ordinary rookie.
[20:19] ---
    Ah!
[20:21] ---
    Azuma Squad Strategy Room
[20:21] ---
    That's the super-strong rookie
    I told you about.
[20:26] ---
    So he joined Tamakoma?
[20:28] ---
    Wait. As I recall,
    he was wearing Tamakoma's emblem...
[20:33] ---
    Geez, they just got
    a major boost in strength.
[20:36] ---
    But it's within the rules.
[20:38] ---
    Our squad could do it too
    if we want.
[20:42] ---
    Don't feel down, let's strategize.
[20:46] ---
    Rank Wars are also where we can
    learn how to deal with the unexpected.

[20:53] ---
    A new dude in Tamakoma?
[20:55] ---
    Explain.
[20:56] ---
    That's just it.
    They got a newbie.
[21:00] ---
    Hyuse-kun?
    I don't remember him in B-Rank.
[21:03] ---
    He's such a hottie.
[21:05] ---
    A secret weapon, huh?
[21:07] ---
    So that's why Kuga was that cocky.
[21:10] ---
    The headcount doesn't matter.
[21:13] ---
    No matter how many enemies
    there are, we'll win.
[21:24] ---
    Chika, how was your sniping training?
[21:27] ---
    Fine, I enjoyed it.
[21:29] ---
    How about you?
[21:30] ---
    I'm totally prepared.
[21:32] ---
    But I'm feeling uneasy
    about this match.
[21:35] ---
    I saw you talking with Jin-san.
[21:38] ---
    Yeah, he advised me
    to not waver.
[21:42] ---
    Oh, were your legs shaking
    that badly?
[21:45] ---
    Are you sick?
[21:46] ---
    Um, what he meant is...
[21:48] ---
