[00:11] ---
    Look, it's Tsuji-chan.
[00:12] ---
    Will
[00:13] ---
    Yeah. Hey, Tsuji-kun.
[00:15] ---
    Um, g...good to see...
[00:19] ---
    - Tsuji-chan.
    - Tsuji-kun.
[00:22] ---
    No messing with him, okay?
[00:27] ---
    Tsuji senpai has trouble
    talking with women?
[00:30] ---
    Unexpected, yeah?
[00:31] ---
    Yes.
[00:32] ---
    I'm here too, Konami-chan.
[00:35] ---
    Huh? You don't look innocent enough.
[00:39] ---
    You see Tsuji-kun at school too, right?
[00:42] ---
    Yeah, but he's always got
    his guard up there, so...
[00:50] ---
    What'll you order,
    Chika-chan, Osamu-kun?
[00:53] ---
    The bottom flap's tasty.
[00:55] ---
    Isn't that expensive?
[00:58] ---
    What was Azuma-san's favorite?
[01:00] ---
    Abomasum.
[01:01] ---
    Two oolong teas,
    an orange juice, and a ginger ale.
[01:16] ---
    The more I hope not to lose
    what's most precious to me
[01:20] ---
    They slip through my fingers
    by way of cruel fate
[01:25] ---
    More means of reclaiming
    our stolen time and hearts
[01:29] ---
    I know that's what
    we're painfully lacking
[01:33] ---
    Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
    The siren falls on deaf ears
[01:38] ---
    I stood there, watching you depart
[01:42] ---
    Should be weaker than glass
    A bullet should pierce through
[01:46] ---
    And I pulled the trigger
[01:50] ---
    There's something I need to protect
[01:54] ---
    The hopes of thousands
    are on my shoulders
[01:59] ---
    I will become the wind
[02:03] ---
    And promise to reach our goal
[02:08] ---
    The yearning that connects
    our past and present
[02:15] ---
    Illuminates the path to our future
[02:21] ---
    Embracing our overlapping histories,
    the light radiates brightly
[02:38] ---
    Here, salted tongue.
[02:40] ---
    This piece is mine, okay?
    I'll make it well-done.
[02:44] ---
    Isn't well-done a word for steak?
[02:47] ---
    Impressive, Mikumo-kun.
[02:49] ---
    Dining with three girls, huh?
[02:51] ---
    Oh, you're right.
[02:53] ---
    Being around girls
    doesn't bother you, huh?
[02:57] ---
    Because he has a beautiful mom.
[02:59] ---
    Oh, really?
[03:01] ---
    I don't think my mother
    is a part of this.
[03:05] ---
    But now that you mention it,
[03:07] ---
    I've never met a woman
    more intense than her.
[03:12] ---
    See? It depends on
    how you're raised.
[03:15] ---
    Hey!
[03:18] ---
    You're just eating rice again.
[03:21] ---
    Rice is yummy.
[03:24] ---
    Get some more meat. Here.
[03:29] ---
    How's the abomasum? Tasty?
[03:31] ---
    It's tough to chew.
[03:32] ---
    You seem fine
    talking to Hiyami senpai.
[03:36] ---
    Because I've known Hyami-san forever.
[03:39] ---
    The only girls Tsuji-chan can talk to
[03:42] ---
    are Hyami-chan
    and Hatohara-chan so far.
[03:47] ---
    Hatohara senpai*...*
[03:49] ---
    Hatohara senpai was nice
    from the start.
[03:52] ---
    You're implying that I wasn't.
[03:56] ---
    You had a wall up at first.
[03:59] ---
    And now?
[04:00] ---
    You're nice.
[04:02] ---
    Good.
[04:05] ---
    Have you heard about Hatohara-chan?
[04:08] ---
    Our sniper
    who ran off there already.
[04:10] ---
    Um...yes.
[04:12] ---
    You went to consult Tamakoma
    about it, too?
[04:15] ---
    Yeah, but I haven't
    told Usami and Konami.
[04:18] ---
    Oh, what a revelation.
[04:20] ---
    Wait, what? Tell us too.
[04:23] ---
    Oops.
[04:24] ---
    Hey, tell us now.
[04:26] ---
    Things like this
    sure catch your interest.
[04:30] ---
    Oh, yeah. We also had barbeque
    just before Hatohara senpai left.
[04:35] ---
    For Inukai senpai's birthday.
[04:38] ---
    How could she go there
    with civilians after that.
[04:42] ---
    Maybe because she couldn't
    as a Border agent.
[04:46] ---
    It seems they can talk about
    Hatohara
senpai frankly.
[04:53] ---
    I thought it was more serious than that.
[04:57] ---
    Um... Why did she want to
    go over there so badly?
[05:02] ---
    Same reason as Amatori-chan.
[05:04] ---
    Her little brother was kidnapped.
[05:09] ---
    Her brother?
[05:11] ---
    She wanted to join the expedition
    to look for him
[05:15] ---
    but wasn't selected.
[05:17] ---
    Because she couldn't shoot people?
[05:19] ---
    Yup. Just like Amatori-chan again.
[05:23] ---
    But as for Amatori-chan,
[05:25] ---
    that problem might've been
    overcome yesterday.
[05:30] ---
    Right. She'll bomb all of you
    in the next round.
[05:34] ---
    Prepare yourself.
[05:36] ---
    What's scary is that you could be right,
[05:39] ---
    but people can rarely change so quickly.
[05:43] ---
    We'll be wary of her too.
[05:46] ---
    But at this point, Kuga-kun and
    Hyuse-kun, those two stars
[05:50] ---
    are the real threats for us.
[05:53] ---
    Watch out for Osamu a bit too.
[05:56] ---
    It's mean to exclude him.
[05:58] ---
    He might be the next star
    with his new Trigger.
[06:02] ---
    Nah, he's barely got enough Trion
    to scrape by.
[06:06] ---
    Can you replace the Wire Strategy?
[06:08] ---
    They've got me figured out.
[06:11] ---
    Speaking of the two stars,
    I heard a weird rumor yesterday
[06:15] ---
    that Hyuse-kun is from the other side.
[06:19] ---
    Those C-Ranks are delusional.
[06:21] ---
    His big attitude and Trion level
    are showy.
[06:24] ---
    True, his Trion volume is crazy.
[06:27] ---
    The rumor's reasonable there.
[06:30] ---
    But in terms of Trion levels...
[06:33] ---
    it seems more likely
    Amatori-chan's from over there.
[06:37] ---
    What?!
[06:38] ---
    That's insane!
    Chika's not like that!
[06:41] ---
    Okay, so Amatori-chan's not like that.
[06:48] ---
    You're an open book.
[06:50] ---
    We already know about Hyuse's past.
[06:52] ---
    The PR Department informed us.
[06:55] ---
    Huh?!
[06:56] ---
    Then just say so!
[06:58] ---
    Sorry.
[07:00] ---
    Anyway, his identity
    explains his strength enough.
[07:06] ---
    He's so skilled with Border's Triggers,
    using dynamic strategies like a veteran.
[07:12] ---
    And I guess he has surplus Trion.
[07:14] ---
    So he's probably got
    more tricks besides Escudo.
[07:18] ---
    And considering his Trion volume,
    I felt that
[07:22] ---
    his Asteroid's power looked low.
[07:26] ---
    Is there a secret in his bullets?
[07:30] ---
    Has he figured out our strategy?
[07:36] ---
    We're off.
[07:37] ---
    Aw, I'm still trying to
    pull out information.
[07:44] ---
    Ninomiya-san!
[07:47] ---
    If we're chosen for the Away squads,
[07:49] ---
    you promised you'd tell us
    more about Hatohara senpai.
[07:54] ---
    Do you remember that?
[07:57] ---
    My answer now is the same as then.
[08:05] ---
    Ask me once you're chosen.
[08:15] ---
    Hm.
[08:16] ---
    They found out our Viper strategy?
[08:18] ---
    Probably.
[08:20] ---
    Maybe because Inukai senpai is
    always watching how Ninomiya-san fights.
[08:25] ---
    Even though Hyuse
    saved that plan for next time.
[08:29] ---
    It's no problem.
[08:31] ---
    He's right.
[08:34] ---
    We can score if we use Viper
    against the other teams.
[08:38] ---
    And I feel Inukai senpai implied
    he wants us to use the trick
[08:43] ---
    on any squad not his own.
[08:45] ---
    We just need a new plan
    against Ninomiya Squad.
[08:50] ---
    I see.
[08:51] ---
    He was also probably hoping
    to make you upset, Osamu-kun.
[08:57] ---
    Yeah, I can imagine him
    using psychological warfare.
[09:02] ---
    Don't fall into his trap easily.
[09:05] ---
    Okay.
[09:06] ---
    But it looked like he affected you most.
[09:09] ---
    Don't worry, Osamu.
[09:11] ---
    Our Hyuse is gonna beat Ninomiya.
[09:14] ---
    Who made you the boss?
[09:16] ---
    Hmm...there's logic to Yotaro's words.
[09:20] ---
    Logic?
[09:21] ---
    You mean...
[09:22] ---
    Only Hyuse-kun and Chika-chan
    exceed Ninomiya-san in Trion,
[09:27] ---
    so they can face him head-on if needed.
[09:30] ---
    Chika shouldn't do that.
[09:33] ---
    She wouldn't be joining the attack.
[09:36] ---
    She'd shield Hyuse-kun,
    while he fights with his bullets.
[09:41] ---
    They'd be unbeatable in a firefight.
[09:44] ---
    True. In a war of attrition,
    they can't lose.
[09:48] ---
    If the others join the fray,
    it'll get busier.
[09:51] ---
    But it's great our firepower
    exceeds Ninomiya Squad's.
[09:55] ---
    And it's hard to reach Ninomiya-san
    with blades.
[09:59] ---
    That'll work in a firefight,
[10:01] ---
    but not when we need quick moves.
[10:04] ---
    Always exposing Chika is risky too.
[10:07] ---
    And she and I can't always regroup.
[10:10] ---
    It's not bad as a strategy,
[10:13] ---
    but I need more options.
[10:17] ---
    Alright. Here's the plan.
[10:19] ---
    Hyuse and Chika,
    watch Ninomiya Squad's logs
[10:21] ---
    to make plans for firefights.
[10:23] ---
    Usami senpai and Yotaro,
    help them out.
[10:26] ---
    Okay.
[10:28] ---
    Kuga and I will plan for other scenarios
[10:31] ---
    and gather the other teams' intel.
[10:33] ---
    Got it.
[10:34] ---
    I'd like Konami senpai's advice too.
[10:38] ---
    If you insist.
[10:39] ---
    Let's go to the strategy room!
[10:41] ---
    Alright.
[10:47] ---
    Hmm... Not many people want a shoot-out
    against Ninomiya-san,
[10:52] ---
    so we don't have
    many examples in the logs.
[10:56] ---
    I want to ask something
    before we formulate strategies.
[11:02] ---
    Chika.
[11:04] ---
    You can actually...
[11:07] ---
    shoot people, right?
[11:11] ---
    What?
[11:13] ---
    Huh? Hyuse-kun, what do you mean?
[11:16] ---
    You know for a fact that she can't.
[11:19] ---
    I know Chika said that.
[11:22] ---
    But the truth may be different.
[11:24] ---
    She may have just
    convinced herself she can't.
[11:29] ---
    I think...
[11:31] ---
    you can shoot people, Chika.
[11:44] ---
    Hm? Is there any difference
    when she can?
[11:47] ---
    It'd change the basis of our strategies.
[11:51] ---
    Instead of me shooting
    behind Chika's guard,
[11:54] ---
    she could shoot behind the rest of us.
[11:57] ---
    If that plan is available,
[11:59] ---
    we can get five or six points
    just with Chika's Meteor and Hound.
[12:05] ---
    Without detailed strategies,
    our power could overwhelm them.
[12:09] ---
    So let's clear this up here and now.
[12:12] ---
    Can you shoot people?
[12:15] ---
    Or can't you?
[12:18] ---
    I think she's made it
    plenty clear already.
[12:22] ---
    She'd already be doing it
    if she could.
[12:27] ---
    On what grounds are you saying
    she can shoot?
[12:31] ---
    - Reiji!
    - Oh, Reiji-san.
[12:34] ---
    I have no proof,
[12:36] ---
    but I've seen those who can shoot others
    and those who can't in the battles.
[12:41] ---
    Chika looks to me
[12:43] ---
    like someone who can.
[12:50] ---
    Let me ask you too.
[12:52] ---
    On what grounds are you saying
    she can't?
[12:55] ---
    She hits people with Lead Bullets.
[12:58] ---
    Then she technically can do it
    with normal shots.
[13:02] ---
    Yet, you think
    she can't shoot people. Why?
[13:13] ---
    If you can shoot during training,
[13:16] ---
    maybe it's because you know
    you won't hurt anyone.

[13:22] ---
    I think, probably...
[13:26] ---
    it's because I'm scared to see
    someone get hurt because of me.
[13:31] ---
    Yes. In battles,
    even with the Trion bodies,
[13:34] ---
    some people picture damage
    on real bodies.
[13:37] ---
    Hatohara was one of them.
[13:39] ---
    They imagine that they hit real people.
[13:43] ---
    If so, it makes sense
    they get scared of shooting.
[13:47] ---
    She can't shoot when she
    pictures a real battlefield?
[13:51] ---
    That sounds strange.
[13:52] ---
    In a real battle,
    if you fail to shoot the enemy,
[13:57] ---
    Yuma and Osamu could die.
[14:07] ---
    I haven't been here long, but
[14:09] ---
    you seem willing to be used as a pawn
    for the sake of your mates.
[14:17] ---
    If either Yuma or Osamu
    were in real peril,
[14:20] ---
    I'm sure you would shoot, Chika.
[14:35] ---
    Chika, are you okay?
[14:40] ---
    It seems I won't get an answer for now.
[14:43] ---
    I'll continue reviewing the data
    with Yotaro.
[14:46] ---
    In either case, it's fine.
[14:48] ---
    But give me an answer soon.
[15:05] ---
    Well? Feeling a little better?
[15:09] ---
    Yes.
[15:10] ---
    Gee, Hyuse-kun was so blunt,
    you must've felt a lot of pressure.
[15:15] ---
    His logic was really biased.
[15:18] ---
    Don't push yourself too hard.
[15:20] ---
    We have a good chance
    at winning already.
[15:27] ---
    Um... I...
[15:30] ---
    Talk to us.
[15:31] ---
    What, Chika-chan?
[15:35] ---
    It's kind of hard to explain, but I...
[15:39] ---
    Okay, don't worry.
    We're listening.
[15:51] ---
    When I was...
[15:53] ---
    an elementary student,
    I was chased by a Trion soldier.
[16:10] ---
    But in those days,
[16:13] ---
    we didn't have Border yet.
[16:16] ---
    Nobody knew about them.
[16:19] ---
    My mom, my dad,
[16:23] ---
    and my classmates,
    none of them believed me.
[16:31] ---
    I believe what you're saying,
    Chika-chan.

[16:36] ---
    But only one friend believed me.
[16:40] ---
    Her name was Aoba-chan.
[16:52] ---
    But then...
[16:54] ---
    she went...missing.
[16:58] ---
    I guess Neighbors took her away.
[17:04] ---
    And...when that happened,
[17:08] ---
    rather than her disappearing
    or the fact no one believed me,
[17:17] ---
    the fact they started believing me...
[17:24] ---
    was what really scared me.
[17:27] ---
    They said I might
    be right about everything.
[17:33] ---
    It wasn't just that she was gone.
[17:36] ---
    I was scared they'd think
    I put her in danger.
[17:41] ---
    After Border was formed
    and they learned about Neighbors,
[17:45] ---
    I thought people would blame me
[17:49] ---
    for Aoba-chan disappearing.
[17:53] ---
    So I didn't talk
    about any of it anymore.
[17:58] ---
    That's what I decided.
[18:00] ---
    And...so...
[18:05] ---
    What I'm trying to say is...
[18:11] ---
    I think...
[18:15] ---
    the truth is...
[18:19] ---
    What I'm scared of
    is not hurting people
[18:23] ---
    but being blamed by someone else
    for doing it.
[18:32] ---
    I may be able to shoot people
    if I really need to.
[18:43] ---
    But if I do it with my Trion volume,
[18:47] ---
    what will they think of me?
[18:48] ---
    Will they be scared of me
    or feel it's unfair?
[18:52] ---
    Will they hold a grudge
    or hate me?
[18:59] ---
    That's...what scares me.
[19:03] ---
    But I don't want Osamu-kun and
    Yuma-kun to think I'm useless.
[19:10] ---
    So I try my best at everything,
[19:13] ---
    but I tell myself that I can't shoot
    people because I'm weaker.
[19:19] ---
    In hopes that they won't blame me.
[19:24] ---
    But Hyuse-kun said
[19:27] ---
    that if I don't shoot,
    Osamu-kun or Yuma-kun might die.
[19:34] ---
    In that case,
[19:37] ---
    I'd even shoot people.
[19:39] ---
    I certainly think so.
[19:43] ---
    It's to save my mates.
[19:45] ---
    But more than that...
[19:48] ---
    I'm scared of anyone thinking
[19:51] ---
    that it's because I failed to shoot.
[19:54] ---
    I...I just...
[20:02] ---
    In the end, I'm always
    only taking care of myself.
[20:08] ---
    Chika-chan!
[20:09] ---
    That's totally normal.
[20:12] ---
    Everyone's scared
    of being blamed for things.
[20:16] ---
    Including me.
[20:18] ---
    Don't think of yourself as a bad person.
[20:21] ---
    If you're in the wrong,
    then so is most of the world.
[20:29] ---
    Even if your failure to shoot
    makes a given situation worse,
[20:35] ---
    I don't think
    Osamu and Yuma will fault you.
[20:41] ---
    And neither will I.
[20:42] ---
    Me neither.
[20:45] ---
    Just do what you can, Chika-chan.
[20:48] ---
    You have many other things
    you can do already.
[21:04] ---
    I didn't expect her
    to talk about herself that way.
[21:07] ---
    Her desire to join the Away squads
[21:11] ---
    might've come from
    that feeling of remorse?
[21:14] ---
    I can't just sit still
[21:16] ---
    if there's even a chance.
[21:20] ---
    That might've been
    the only reason at first,
[21:23] ---
    but I don't think it still is.
[21:26] ---
    She's the type to act
    for the sake of others.
[21:33] ---
    Even if your failure to shoot
    makes a given situation worse,

[21:39] ---
    I don't think
    Osamu and Yuma will fault you.

[21:44] ---
    I think so too.
[21:46] ---
    Both Osamu-kun and Yuma-kun
[21:49] ---
    won't fault me if I can't shoot.
[21:53] ---
    But that's why...
[21:58] ---
    I reach out my hand
    And yours is waiting from above

[22:03] ---
    I'm sure I knew before that touch
[22:04] ---
    I want to...
[22:06] ---
    Now I've felt your big, strong grasp
[22:07] ---
    fight full force!
[22:09] ---
    
[22:10] ---
    My dream where I grab the stars at night
    Is getting oddly realistic

[22:11] ---
    
[22:15] ---
    Before I remember what I failed to say,
[22:19] ---
    You're already swimming in the next sky
[22:21] ---
    Melting in an enviously brilliant
    And clear yet lonely color,

[22:27] ---
    Everything is reflected
[22:31] ---
    Onto your little but big eyes
    That are secretly burning

[22:39] ---
    Do you still think
    That scenery is beautiful?

[22:45] ---
    It's okay if your reasons
    Motivate you to live on

[22:52] ---
    Even if you've forgotten
    Whose words they are

[22:57] ---
    Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"
[23:04] ---
    This place is for us
    For us
