**[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...*

*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*
