[00:12] ---
Why am I still feeling uneasy
deep in my heart?
[00:19] ---
This is the time to retreat.
[00:21] ---
Roger that!
[00:24] ---
Now the match is over.
SIGN (From the Left)
Point, Survival, Total
[00:26] ---
The final score is 6-2-2-1.
SIGN (From the Top) Tamakoma-2, Azuma Squad,
Kageura Squad, Suzunari-1
[00:30] ---
Tamakoma-2 is the winner.
[00:33] ---
Kageura Squad and Tamakoma
ended up with a tied score.
[00:38] ---
Your squad now has a big role,
right, Ninomiya-san?
[00:42] ---
No matter who comes,
we'll bring them down as always.
[00:49] ---
Well then...
[00:51] ---
We're done, but should we
watch the night session?
[00:52] ---
Premonition
[00:55] ---
It's in four and a half hours.
[00:57] ---
We can watch the logs
at the Tamakoma base.
[01:00] ---
We're gonna hit
the Solo Rank Wars.
[01:03] ---
I'm meeting up with Izuho-chan.
[01:06] ---
Okay, gotcha.
[01:08] ---
Hyuse-kun, your horns!
[01:11] ---
Be careful.
[01:12] ---
I know.
[01:17] ---
Tell me when you're leaving.
[01:20] ---
Okay, you're all dismissed for now!
[01:33] ---
The more I hope not to lose
what's most precious to me
[01:37] ---
They slip through my fingers
by way of cruel fate
[01:42] ---
More means of reclaiming
our stolen time and hearts
[01:46] ---
I know that's what
we're painfully lacking
[01:50] ---
Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
The siren falls on deaf ears
[01:55] ---
I stood there, watching you depart
[01:59] ---
Should be weaker than glass
A bullet should pierce through
[02:03] ---
And I pulled the trigger
[02:07] ---
There's something I need to protect
[02:11] ---
The hopes of thousands
are on my shoulders
[02:16] ---
I will become the wind
[02:20] ---
And promise to reach our goal
[02:25] ---
The yearning that connects
our past and present
[02:32] ---
Illuminates the path to our future
[02:38] ---
Embracing our overlapping histories,
the light radiates brightly
[02:53] ---
Well, I've got to say...
[02:56] ---
The match today was great.
We got six points from top-rankers!
[03:01] ---
Yes.
[03:01] ---
Your effort in enlisting Hyuse
in our team really paid off.
[03:06] ---
Right. He surpassed my expectations.
[03:10] ---
Oh, yeah. Did that bad feeling
you had before the match go away?
[03:24] ---
Well, actually...not yet.
[03:28] ---
Huh? Really?
[03:30] ---
I wonder what it is.
A bad feeling, huh...
[03:34] ---
Chika-chan seemed to be fine.
[03:37] ---
When you and Hyuse
had that disagreement
[03:40] ---
I thought it might
spark a fight later on.
[03:44] ---
But in the end, Hyuse seemed
pretty satisfied with the results.
[03:49] ---
That's true...
[03:54] ---
- Kikuchihara senpaitexted me.
- Can I see?
[03:58] ---
Congrats on your win.
[04:00] ---
You were useless today, though.
[04:04] ---
Useless...
[04:05] ---
There goes Kikuchi
being obnoxious again...
[04:11] ---
I should ask his opinion, too.
[04:14] ---
Thank you.
[04:16] ---
We won the match,
but something's still bugging me.
[04:20] ---
What could it be?
[04:29] ---
Maybe you're sad you won't be needed
since the rookie is so strong?
[04:34] ---
Really? I don't think that's it.
[04:38] ---
Hmm, can't say...
[04:41] ---
If our next opponent picks an exterior
map, wary of Hyuse's Escudo,
[04:47] ---
we can use our wire tactic
and Lead Bullet again.
[04:50] ---
I think I can make myself useful.
[04:54] ---
He gets that, huh.
[04:57] ---
- What is it?
- Uh, well...
[05:06] ---
Did you hear about Tamakoma-2?
[05:08] ---
You're right.
[05:09] ---
How can they be so strong otherwise?
[05:16] ---
It's for me.
[05:17] ---
Yeah? Hello?
[05:19] ---
Usami senpai, good match today.
[05:22] ---
Thanks, Uttei. What's up?
[05:24] ---
I just wanted to check something.
[05:28] ---
Check what?
[05:30] ---
Your rookie's history
hasn't been made public yet, right?
[05:35] ---
Huh?
[05:37] ---
Kikuchihara said that the C-Rankers
here in the lounge...
[05:41] ---
Probably the ones who
saw your match earlier...
[05:46] ---
They're gossiping that...
[05:48] ---
"Tamakoma's rookie
might be a Neighbor."
[05:51] ---
What?
[05:52] ---
Right...got it. Thanks.
[05:59] ---
The C-Rankers are gossiping
that Hyuse is a Neighbor?!
[06:09] ---
Our squad is growing well.
[06:12] ---
And the next match isn't
hopeless at all.
[06:16] ---
Kuga and Hyuse are overwhelming
our opponents...
[06:20] ---
But...
[06:23] ---
That's it.
[06:25] ---
That's why I had that bad feeling!
[06:28] ---
Hyuse standing out too much
was the problem!
[06:31] ---
That's why I felt uneasy no matter
how well the match went.
[06:36] ---
Oh! That makes sense!
[06:38] ---
He slayed his debut match
against the top-rankers.
[06:44] ---
His looks and foreign-sounding name
may also be why the rumor started.
[06:49] ---
And maybe because
we're a pro-Neighbor branch?
[06:53] ---
What should we do?
[06:55] ---
I don't think the kids gossiping
have any proof.
[07:00] ---
But things could go wrong
if the rumor spreads.
[07:04] ---
You're right.
[07:05] ---
Could it affect
the Away squad selection?
[07:09] ---
I hope they won't
start to doubt Yuma-kun as well.
[07:14] ---
Maybe I shouldn't have let Hyuse
stand out in the battle...
[07:19] ---
No, then we couldn't have
earned those six points.
[07:23] ---
The match itself was a success.
[07:26] ---
Four-Eyes.
[07:29] ---
A piece of advice from me.
[07:33] ---
Do not waver.
[07:37] ---
Yes, sir!
[07:39] ---
Anyways, I've got to run!
[07:42] ---
Please call Hyuse and the others.
[07:44] ---
Okay, got it.
[07:50] ---
Hello, Branch Director Rindo?
I have an urgent request.
[07:54] ---
Border HQ
PR Department
[08:05] ---
Pardon me.
[08:10] ---
So you're here, Mikumo-kun.
[08:13] ---
Director Rindo made your appointment.
[08:18] ---
Good match today.
[08:20] ---
Azuma-san?
[08:21] ---
Thank you.
[08:25] ---
Sorry to bother you.
[08:27] ---
But we need to talk about Hyuse.
[08:31] ---
Is it about the rumor?
[08:34] ---
Yes.
[08:36] ---
Captain Kazama already informed me.
[08:40] ---
Good grief...
[08:42] ---
This is why I was against
enlisting him into Border.
[08:46] ---
Well? What is it you want from me?
[08:50] ---
I'd like for Border HQ
to formally deny the rumor.
[08:54] ---
Don't be ridiculous!
[08:57] ---
Panicking and making a formal response
to a mere rumor
[09:01] ---
is just like admitting we're shady.
[09:04] ---
It's especially tricky in this case...
[09:08] ---
Because the rumor is actually true.
[09:13] ---
As an organization,
publicly lying as a temporary measure
[09:17] ---
is an extremely high risk.
[09:22] ---
But, at the same time,
[09:24] ---
we can't just sit back
and let the rumor spread.
[09:29] ---
Sorry, you're right.
[09:32] ---
I didn't think this through.
[09:34] ---
No need to apologize.
[09:37] ---
This isn't just for your sake.
[09:39] ---
Protecting Border's reputation
is our job.
[09:43] ---
We'll handle this problem
by overwriting the rumor.
[09:48] ---
"Overwriting the rumor"?
[09:51] ---
We'll spread a new rumor that's
more credible than the current one.
[09:57] ---
That's what I mean.
[09:59] ---
"Tamakoma-2's agent, Hyuse,"
[10:02] ---
"is a relative of Tamakoma's
Chief Engineer Kronin."
[10:06] ---
"He was recruited for his
tremendously high Trion value."
[10:10] ---
"He's been training at the Tamakoma
Branch for a few years."
[10:15] ---
"He was going to join Tamakoma-1
to fill Agent Jin's spot."
[10:16] ---
S-Rank
[10:19] ---
"But Jin returned to A-Rank,"
[10:23] ---
"so Hyuse was transferred
to Tamakoma-2."
[10:27] ---
We'll spread that rumor,
and Captain Azuma will be the source.
[10:33] ---
Azuma-san? But, why?
[10:35] ---
It wouldn't work if you were the source,
would it?
[10:39] ---
Tamakoma's rookie...
[10:39] ---
Right now, the original rumor
is catchier.
[10:42] ---
Tamakoma's rookie
is a Neighbor?!
[10:44] ---
To overwrite it, the new rumor has to
be absolutely credible.
[10:46] ---
He's Tamakoma's rising star!
(According to Azuma)
[10:49] ---
But doesn't that mean
Azuma-san has to lie for us?
[10:53] ---
Well, it's just a rumor, after all.
[10:56] ---
We'll start spreading it
at tomorrow's joint Sniper training.
[11:02] ---
Our allies will keep the story vague.
[11:05] ---
Someone told me
that Azuma-san said...
[11:08] ---
Satoken heard from Azuma-san that...
[11:12] ---
And it'll all be reported secondhand.
[11:15] ---
If someone comes to me to confirm...
[11:19] ---
Did I say that?
[11:21] ---
Well, it sounds plausible to me.
[11:24] ---
I won't admit to being the source, but
I'll agree with the rumor's narrative.
[11:30] ---
If there comes a time when
we need to reveal Hyuse's true identity,
[11:36] ---
Netsuki-san will explain that he
ordered me to spread the false rumor.
[11:42] ---
Naturally, I bear full responsibility.
[11:46] ---
And, of course,
we need Tamakoma to play along.
[11:50] ---
Be sure Hyuse's backstory
is consistent.
[11:54] ---
Before I even came by...
[11:57] ---
they had this plan ready to go.
[12:01] ---
We need to get the story straight with
the ones who already know about Hyuse.
[12:06] ---
And those who know
Chief Kronin's identity, too.
[12:10] ---
Geez...
[12:12] ---
Usually, this kind of plan...
[12:15] ---
works better when
fewer people are involved.
[12:19] ---
But if that rumor leaks outside,
things will get much worse.
[12:24] ---
We need to squash it here and now.
[12:28] ---
I'm sorry for all the trouble.
[12:32] ---
Well, you came to me
before things got worse.
[12:36] ---
That shows you've grown to some extent.
[12:41] ---
I'll get the details organized.
[12:43] ---
Sit and wait for a while.
[12:46] ---
Uh... Yes, sir!
[12:53] ---
Thank you for helping us.
[12:56] ---
Don't worry about it.
[12:59] ---
I wasn't aware you knew about Hyuse.
[13:03] ---
Ex-Away team members
would notice by his name
[13:06] ---
since we already know
about Chief Kronin.
[13:10] ---
It was Director Rindo's message
for people in the know.
[13:14] ---
I see...
[13:19] ---
Oh yeah, Mikumo...
[13:20] ---
Yes?
[13:22] ---
Is Amatori alright?
[13:25] ---
Huh?
[13:36] ---
What do you mean by "alright"?
[13:39] ---
Well, maybe it's not my place
to say anything...
[13:43] ---
But I know someone like her,
who can't shoot people.
[13:49] ---
Are you talking about Hatohara-san?
[13:53] ---
Oh, you knew about her?
[13:55] ---
Umm...
[14:00] ---
I heard it from...Reiji-san.
[14:03] ---
Is that so.
[14:04] ---
I've been a bit worried.
[14:06] ---
When Hatohara shot someone
in Rank Wars,
[14:09] ---
it had a big impact on her.
[14:12] ---
What kind of impact?
[14:16] ---
She vomited and stayed in bed.
[14:19] ---
So I was worried about Amatori.
Good to know she's okay.
[14:26] ---
She was distressed to that level?
[14:30] ---
Maybe she's different from Chika?
[14:33] ---
I heard Hatohara-san was a Sniper
who only targeted people's weapons.
[14:39] ---
Did she suffer every time
she shot someone?
[14:42] ---
Hm? No.
[14:44] ---
Hatohara only hit a person
that one time.
[14:48] ---
She has never missed, otherwise.
[14:50] ---
She trained vigorously
to be sure not to hit anyone.
[14:56] ---
Well, sniping and blasting the area
is a different case.
[15:00] ---
Maybe we can't compare the situation.
[15:03] ---
But given the precedent,
keep an eye on Amatori, okay?
[15:08] ---
Yes.
[15:11] ---
So, only four days left, huh?
[15:15] ---
Pardon?
[15:16] ---
It was only a month ago you declared
you'd join the expedition to the press.
[15:23] ---
I'm surprised you've actually
come so close to being qualified.
[15:28] ---
The higher-ups announced
the Rank Wars will end with Round 8.
[15:33] ---
And B-Rank squads No. 2 or above will
be treated as A-Ranks for the selection.
[15:40] ---
When I read that, I didn't think
you stood a chance, pointwise.
[15:45] ---
But you already had Hyuse's
enlistment arranged by then?
[15:49] ---
Uh... Yes.
[15:51] ---
You're pretty competent.
[15:57] ---
People in your position shouldn't
support a specific team,
[16:01] ---
Captain Azuma.
[16:03] ---
That's not my intention, sir.
[16:05] ---
I just think it's amusing how Tamakoma-2
advanced in a unique way.
[16:11] ---
Nothing is amusing about it.
[16:16] ---
Here's the plan's outline.
[16:19] ---
Share it with the branch,
then destroy the papers.
[16:24] ---
Don't leave any digital data.
[16:27] ---
Yes, sir.
[16:29] ---
Thank you for everything.
[16:31] ---
I promise to return the favor.
[16:35] ---
I don't need your thanks.
This is my job, after all.
[16:40] ---
But...
[16:41] ---
I put an agent of mine
into avoidable trouble.
[16:45] ---
As the Captain, that was my mistake.
[16:58] ---
Pardon me.
[17:03] ---
So, Border aside, he's taking
responsibility for Hyuse's reputation.
[17:09] ---
Humph, I doubt that.
[17:11] ---
If word gets out that he recruited a
powerful Neighbor, he'll be criticized.
[17:17] ---
Maybe he's just trying to
save his own skin.
[17:21] ---
He doesn't seem the type.
[17:24] ---
From what Kazama told me,
[17:25] ---
Mikumo was trying to
get Jin to join before Hyuse.
[17:30] ---
What?!
[17:31] ---
Unbelievable! That goes beyond devious!
[17:36] ---
Pretty bold, isn't he?
[17:40] ---
He overlooks himself but cares so much
about everyone's problems.
[17:46] ---
His principles are uneven.
[17:51] ---
I see!
[17:52] ---
So Netsuki-san and Azuma-san
are helping us.
[17:55] ---
- What a relief!
- Right.
[17:58] ---
I investigated a bit
where the rumor started.
[18:02] ---
At first, it was just speculation.
"What if he's a Neighbor?"
[18:07] ---
Then a rando suddenly said,
[18:08] ---
"I saw him during the invasion!
He's a Neighbor for sure!"
[18:13] ---
And that story spread like crazy.
[18:16] ---
Is it even true he saw Hyuse?
[18:19] ---
He could be lying to get attention.
[18:21] ---
I think that's the case.
[18:23] ---
I have super good eyesight
[18:26] ---
but couldn't see his face
since he was so far away.
[18:29] ---
I only noticed Shrimp senpai
by his hair.
[18:33] ---
Even now, I can't tell
if he's the same Neighbor.
[18:37] ---
Well, I'd like to know how
[18:39] ---
they got the crazy idea that a Neighbor
from the invasion would join Border?
[18:45] ---
That's how rumors are.
Catchy but baseless.
[18:49] ---
But this rumor is true, remember?
[18:52] ---
Truth can be stranger than rumors.
[18:54] ---
Anyways, they provided us a plan.
[18:57] ---
Memorize Hyuse's cover story by heart,
and act normal.
[19:01] ---
Okay, got it.
[19:03] ---
Roger that.
[19:05] ---
- Oh!
- Hm?
[19:06] ---
We got our opponents
for the Final Round.
[19:13] ---
We're up against...
[19:15] ---
No. 1 Ninomiya Squad,
No. 4 Ikoma Squad,
[19:18] ---
and the new No. 7, Yuba Squad.
[19:21] ---
Ikoma Squad and Ninomiya Squad...
[19:24] ---
We've never faced Yuba Squad before.
[19:27] ---
Ikoma...
[19:29] ---
Sorry.
[19:29] ---
Sorry.
[19:31] ---
The rumor is worrisome,
but we still have to prep for the match!
[19:37] ---
Right!
[19:39] ---
The Next Day
[19:41] ---
Joint Sniper Training
[20:01] ---
We "overwrote" the C-Rank Snipers.
[20:05] ---
It's up to how well
the new rumor spreads
[20:09] ---
and how persistent the kid who
claims to have seen Hyuse will be.
[20:14] ---
I'm not so worried about that.
[20:18] ---
But worst case scenario, we may have to
consider doing some memory erasing.
[20:23] ---
If there are any problems,
report to me at once.
[20:28] ---
Understood.
[20:30] ---
Hmm, so it went pretty well, huh?
[20:35] ---
Probably. But we don't know
how it'll turn out yet.
[20:39] ---
There's no point in brooding anymore.
[20:43] ---
You should move on
and focus on your Final Round.
[20:47] ---
Yes. That's the plan.
[20:50] ---
Who's eating tonight?
[20:52] ---
Just the four of us, I think.
[20:55] ---
Yuma-kun's with Zoe-san's group.
[20:58] ---
Reiji-san's drinking with Suwa-san.
[21:01] ---
Torimaru-kun's on Defense Mission
with Suzunari.
[21:04] ---
Jin-san and Hyuse-kun
are with the bosses.
[21:08] ---
Then let's eat out today.
It's my treat.
[21:12] ---
I don't want to cook.
[21:14] ---
You're so generous!
[21:16] ---
Let's eat some meat.
[21:18] ---
Thanks for taking us out.
[21:20] ---
Charcoal Grill Jujuen
[21:23] ---
Welcome to Jujuen!
[21:27] ---
Don't order the pricey ones.
[21:30] ---
Okay...
[21:35] ---
Good to see you.
[21:36] ---
What a surprise.
[22:01] ---
I reach out my hand
And yours is waiting from above
[22:06] ---
I'm sure I knew before that touch
[22:09] ---
Now I've felt your big, strong grasp
[22:13] ---
My dream where I grab the stars at night
Is getting oddly realistic
[22:18] ---
Before I remember what I failed to say,
[22:22] ---
You're already swimming in the next sky
[22:25] ---
Melting in an enviously brilliant
And clear yet lonely color,
[22:31] ---
Everything is reflected
[22:34] ---
Onto your little but big eyes
That are secretly burning
[22:42] ---
Do you still think
That scenery is beautiful?
[22:48] ---
It's okay if your reasons
Motivate you to live on
[22:56] ---
Even if you've forgotten
Whose words they are
[23:00] ---
Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"
[23:07] ---
This place is for us
For us
[23:13] ---
[23:15] ---
