[00:12] ---
Do you mean you'll give us
information about Aftokrator?
[00:17] ---
That's still a no.
[00:18] ---
I won't share any info
against my master.
[00:21] ---
That will never change.
[00:25] ---
Captain
[00:26] ---
Then there's nothing we can do.
[00:30] ---
"Take me on the expedition,"
[00:32] ---
"but I won't offer information."
What kind of negotiation is that?
[00:37] ---
He will cooperate as long as
Aftokrator isn't involved.
[00:43] ---
In fact, he defeated one of the enemies
during the invasion yesterday.
[00:48] ---
Yes, we saw that footage, but...
[00:52] ---
And why was the captive wandering around
outside of Tamakoma Branch?
[00:58] ---
That's another question.
[01:02] ---
What happened yesterday isn't enough
to convince us he'll cooperate.
[01:08] ---
But it shows how Hyuse
can be useful in battle.
[01:12] ---
If he joins Tamakoma-2,
I'm sure he'll be a big boost.
[01:17] ---
But that only benefits you.
[01:20] ---
Not us.
[01:22] ---
How would his enlistment benefit Border?
[01:27] ---
That's what we're asking.
[01:29] ---
He's right.
[01:31] ---
We don't have any reason
to accept your proposal.
[01:40] ---
Director Rindo, what's your opinion?
[01:43] ---
Hm?
[01:44] ---
Well...
[01:46] ---
To be honest, if I were
the leader of an expedition,
[01:50] ---
I wouldn't want to take him along.
[01:54] ---
The next expedition isn't a direct trip.
[01:58] ---
We need to make several stops at
countries for Trion supplies on our way.
[02:03] ---
It'd be too much of a risk to take
an outsider on that long of a journey.
[02:10] ---
Right?
Mr. Leader of the next expedition?
[02:14] ---
That's...
[02:15] ---
That was an unusually logical opinion
from you, Director Rindo.
[02:20] ---
I'm always logical, Netsuki-san.
[02:24] ---
Just as Director Rindo said,
[02:28] ---
taking a Neighbor on board
for our expedition is absurd.
[02:34] ---
No, it's the opposite.
[02:37] ---
We must have a Neighbor on board
for the Neighborhood expedition.
[02:48] ---
(Take it)
[02:56] ---
We are dreamers
[02:58] ---
So it's the trigger
[03:00] ---
It's up to you
[03:01] ---
On the other end is
Dawn Dawn Dawn
[03:03] ---
Like a meteor
[03:05] ---
Like a meadow
[03:07] ---
It's an inevitable force
[03:09] ---
A once-in-a-lifetime meeting
[03:11] ---
The soft, precious gem
[03:14] ---
Shined strongly into our eyes
[03:17] ---
We have yet to see tomorrow's light
[03:21] ---
We'll feel discouraged at times
[03:23] ---
But let's break free from this labyrinth
[03:26] ---
We won't stop
[03:27] ---
My heart has arrived
and it's pumping hard
[03:31] ---
Wow wow oh
[03:34] ---
Let's protect the future together
[03:38] ---
Wow wow oh (Take it)
[03:41] ---
Fighter, let's head to the other side
[03:45] ---
Try, it's possible if we're together
[03:48] ---
Higher, let's fly forward
[03:51] ---
Before I lose sight of it one day
[03:55] ---
Before I end up losing you
[04:00] ---
We are dreamers
So it's the trigger
[04:03] ---
It's up to you
[04:05] ---
On the other end is
Dawn Dawn Dawn
[04:07] ---
We are believers
So it's the trigger
[04:10] ---
Come on, let's go
[04:12] ---
On the other end is
Dawn Dawn Dawn
[04:16] ---
The countries we'll stop at
are completely unknown to us.
[04:20] ---
Many difficulties are expected.
[04:23] ---
But if we take a guide with us,
the trip will be much safer.
[04:28] ---
Are you trying to
let a Neighbor guide us?
[04:31] ---
Enedora should be good enough
for that role.
[04:35] ---
We've started to examine our route
based on the info from him and Replica.
[04:41] ---
No, that's not enough.
[04:44] ---
He doesn't know the domestic
situation in each country.
[04:49] ---
Kinuta-san, you know that already.
[04:53] ---
I'm not well-versed enough to tell.
[04:56] ---
Fieldwork is for small fries,
not me.
[05:00] ---
To make sure, I've asked
Enedora himself earlier.
[05:04] ---
Nah, I can't.
[05:06] ---
Enedora himself?
[05:07] ---
But Hyuse says
he can guide us with detail.
[05:12] ---
I'll be capable unless
it's an extremely remote country.
[05:19] ---
Having a living guide in places
with unknown cultures and lifestyles
[05:24] ---
will increase our odds
of succeeding in the mission.
[05:28] ---
For this, Hyuse's cooperation
is guaranteed.
[05:33] ---
I see.
[05:34] ---
Hyuse's goal is to return to Aftokrator.
[05:38] ---
So he has no choice but to cooperate
during the trip.
[05:42] ---
Exactly.
[05:43] ---
Rather than promising to help
after reaching Aftokrator,
[05:48] ---
Hyuse will be of great help
until we reach Aftokrator.
[05:53] ---
Isn't that a good reason
to bring Hyuse along?
[06:05] ---
I think it's plausible.
The benefit is greater than the risk.
[06:11] ---
I say it's worth considering.
[06:15] ---
Then I'm in, too.
[06:18] ---
Director Kinuta!
[06:22] ---
I did everything I planned last night.
It seems to be working.
[06:27] ---
But...
[06:29] ---
If Commander Kido prioritizes his
hatred for Neighbors over the benefits,
[06:34] ---
it's all over.
[06:41] ---
What will he say?
[06:53] ---
Fine.
[06:56] ---
As a special exception,
I will allow Hyuse to join.
[07:00] ---
What?!
[07:09] ---
Thank you, sir!
[07:11] ---
He managed to get permission
under my terms.
[07:15] ---
This guy...
[07:19] ---
However, I have one condition.
[07:23] ---
Condition?
[07:25] ---
I, too, hope to form
a strong team for the expedition.
[07:30] ---
Just like you thought of taking Hyuse,
we also have a plan.
[07:38] ---
I'll cut to the point.
[07:41] ---
We want Agent Amatori
to join the expedition.
[07:45] ---
Chika? What do you mean?
[07:49] ---
The next expedition will be
unprecedentedly large-scaled.
[07:53] ---
We would need a vast amount of Trion.
[07:56] ---
Having someone with high Trion levels
would be convenient.
[08:01] ---
For example, when the Expedition Ship
runs out of stored Trion while flying,
[08:07] ---
we supply new Trion
from the crew members.
[08:11] ---
However, consumption
exceeds the supply.
[08:14] ---
That's why we need to stop
at countries to rest the ship.
[08:20] ---
But with Agent Amatori's Trion volume,
[08:23] ---
we can drastically reduce
the number of lay days.
[08:28] ---
Hmm.
[08:29] ---
Also, we can increase the size of
the ship and the number of crew members.
[08:36] ---
Our goal is to rescue the missing.
The bigger the ship, the better.
[08:42] ---
Do you mean,
even if our team isn't chosen,
[08:45] ---
you're still taking Chika along?
[08:48] ---
Correct.
[08:49] ---
We'd like to decide here and now.
[08:53] ---
The unit scale, expedition period,
[08:55] ---
the entire plan will change
depending on her attendance.
[09:00] ---
I'm personally against it.
[09:03] ---
Even though we can add more agents,
it's too dangerous.
[09:08] ---
Sending her to Aftokrator is like
[09:11] ---
sending a duckling into a wolfpack.
[09:16] ---
What benefits the trip
outweighs the risk after arrival.
[09:20] ---
Isn't that what you said?
[09:24] ---
Of course, she won't be a combatant
on this mission.
[09:29] ---
She'll be stationed in the ship,
more or less like an engineer.
[09:36] ---
An engineer...
[09:38] ---
So if Chika goes alone, she can't
look for Rinji-san and her friend.
[09:45] ---
I...
[09:49] ---
I'm okay with that.
[09:53] ---
Chika, do you know what that means?
[09:56] ---
Yeah.
[09:58] ---
If I don't say okay, they won't let
Hyuse...san join our team, right?
[10:03] ---
We wanted to join the expedition,
so it's not a bad offer.
[10:10] ---
Then, can I assume
you accept our condition?
[10:14] ---
Yes, but...
[10:17] ---
Our squad will definitely become A-Rank
and join the expedition as a team.
[10:27] ---
Good. Now we can
move on to the next topic.
[10:31] ---
The next topic?
[10:34] ---
There's something
I must tell you beforehand.
[10:38] ---
Before the next Away squad selection,
[10:42] ---
you have no chance of becoming A-Rank.
[10:55] ---
What do you mean?
[10:57] ---
Let me explain.
[10:59] ---
As we said, the next expedition
will be a long mission.
[11:05] ---
We want more time to train
the Away squad than before.
[11:11] ---
So we decided to start the Away squad
selection earlier than usual.
[11:17] ---
Hence, even if you become
qualified to try for A-Rank,
[11:22] ---
there wouldn't be time for
your promotion test.
[11:25] ---
What? That means...
[11:28] ---
You're taking Chika away
while we're stuck here?
[11:34] ---
Do calm down.
[11:36] ---
I said we're moving on
to the next topic.
[11:42] ---
Now that she has accepted to join, we
can increase the capacity of the crew.
[11:48] ---
We can fit the A-Rank agents
and still have room for more members.
[11:55] ---
You will select B-Ranks as well?
[11:58] ---
Exactly.
[12:00] ---
We will choose several B-Rank squads
and some individuals for the mission.
[12:06] ---
Saying this before
Agent Amatori's acceptance
[12:10] ---
wouldn't be fair,
so I left it for later.
[12:14] ---
I see. It'd sound like, "Give us Chika
if you want to join the mission."
[12:19] ---
Three B-Rank Wars matches
are left until the selection.
[12:25] ---
You must reach the top two of B-Rank
within the next three matches.
[12:32] ---
It might be challenging,
[12:34] ---
but I've set the bar high
due to the Neighbor joining you.
[12:39] ---
Also, Hyuse must be enlisted
under protocol
[12:43] ---
and join your squad
after reaching B-Rank.
[12:46] ---
Just like the regular agents.
[12:48] ---
The induction is in two days. I got the
documents from Director Rindo.
[12:54] ---
It's overdue,
but we can slide him in, right?
[12:58] ---
I will allow that.
[13:00] ---
That's all. You may leave
if you have no objections.
[13:07] ---
Thank you very much, sir!
[13:11] ---
Only three matches left.
We don't have much time.
[13:16] ---
But the top two was
our goal from the start.
[13:20] ---
You got Hyuse in.
It was a big success.
[13:23] ---
Don't worry.
[13:26] ---
You did everything I requested.
[13:29] ---
I will fulfill my end of the deal.
[13:33] ---
I swear to take this team
to the expedition.
[13:36] ---
For my sake as well.
[13:39] ---
Welcome aboard, Hyuse.
[13:41] ---
Remember to call him Captain.
[13:49] ---
Was shifting the conversation earlier
part of the plan?
[13:54] ---
Huh?
[13:55] ---
Oh...
[13:57] ---
I wouldn't want to take him along.
[14:01] ---
That was Osamu's idea.
[14:04] ---
As expected. I noticed it changed
the course of the argument.
[14:09] ---
So, he learned from
Netsuki-san's tactics.
[14:12] ---
Geez, that boy's getting crafty.
[14:17] ---
Mikumo-kun is an intriguing fellow.
[14:22] ---
What?!
[14:24] ---
You're lending Chika for the expedition?
Seriously?
[14:28] ---
It just turned out that way...
[14:32] ---
You're giving her away to let
this guy in? Isn't that a rip-off?
[14:39] ---
We can't join the mission otherwise.
Also, Kido-san wasn't lying.
[14:44] ---
Who knows? That old guy
won't hesitate to betray you.
[14:49] ---
"That old guy"?
[14:50] ---
And you guys!
[14:52] ---
How dare you use Chika
just so you can join the mission!
[14:56] ---
That's not what we...
[14:59] ---
You got it wrong, Konami.
[15:02] ---
Usami told me Chika was the one
who wanted to join the expedition.
[15:08] ---
I want to look for them.
[15:11] ---
I don't want to leave it to others.
I have to look for them myself.
[15:17] ---
Osamu formed a squad inviting Yuma
to make her wish come true.
[15:23] ---
Osamu and Yuma are doing their best
to take her on the expedition.
[15:28] ---
Knowing that, Chika chose to cooperate.
[15:31] ---
It's not against her will.
[15:34] ---
Don't forget we also want
to find Replica.
[15:38] ---
Oh, really?
Sorry I misunderstood you guys.
[15:43] ---
It's okay.
[15:44] ---
Still, Chika could end up
going alone, right?
[15:48] ---
Be sure to pass the selection
so that won't happen.
[15:53] ---
Of course.
[15:55] ---
You too. Put your heart into it, okay?
[15:58] ---
I don't need your pep talk.
[16:06] ---
You're so cocky.
[16:10] ---
February 22 (Sat)
B-Rank Wars Round 6
[16:11] ---
Also Hyuse's induction day
[16:13] ---
We have three matches
until the selection.
[16:15] ---
No. 1 Ninomiya Squad
No. 2 Kageura Squad
[16:17] ---
We need to close the eight-point
and five-point gaps with the top two
[16:19] ---
No. 3 Ikoma Squad
No. 4 Tamakoma-2
[16:21] ---
within three matches.
[16:24] ---
Hmm.
[16:25] ---
So if we score six points,
we can reach No. 2, right?
[16:29] ---
Yeah, but they could earn more points
in new matches.
[16:33] ---
We need to score
as much as we can.
[16:37] ---
Let's hope they
score as little as possible...
[16:41] ---
And pray.
[16:43] ---
Please, god...
[16:44] ---
Depending on the bracket, we may face
Ninomiya or Kageura Squad.
[16:50] ---
That's our chance to close the gap.
[16:52] ---
That's right.
[16:54] ---
Today's Hyuse's induction ceremony
so he can't come.
[16:59] ---
We have to make it through
today's match without him.
[17:03] ---
Let's review our opponents,
Ikoma Squad and Oji Squad.
[17:09] ---
B-Rank #3 Ikoma Squad, Captain,
No.6 Attacker: Tatsuhito Ikoma (19)
[17:13] ---
Ikoma Squad
Shooter: Satoshi Mizukami (18)
[17:16] ---
Ikoma Squad
Sniper: Koji Oki (17)
[17:18] ---
Ikoma Squad
Attacker: Kai Minamisawa (16)
[17:22] ---
B-Rank #5 Oji Squad, Captain
Attacker: Kazuaki Oji (18)
[17:26] ---
Oji Squad
Shooter: Kazuki Kurauchi (18)
[17:29] ---
Oji Squad
Attacker: Yutaka Kashio (15)
[17:29] ---
Both squads are strong opponents
who are stably in the B-Rank top group.
[17:35] ---
Their formation is similar.
[17:37] ---
One Shooter covers two Attackers.
[17:41] ---
Ikoma also has one Sniper for cover.
[17:44] ---
Right, but they fight differently.
[17:47] ---
Ikoma Squad's forte is their
four-person multi-angled attack.
[17:53] ---
Be careful of the Kogetsu user,
Captain Ikoma,
[17:57] ---
and the mobile Sniper, Oki senpai,
who uses the Grasshopper.
[18:01] ---
Jin-san said Ikoma-san is the best
Kogetsu: Whirlwind user in Border.
[18:08] ---
Right, the logs show him scoring
a bunch with his extending Kogetsu.
[18:24] ---
Why is he always facing the camera?
[18:29] ---
Ikoma Squad Strategy Room
[18:32] ---
Tamakoma-2 is...
[18:34] ---
damn strong.
[18:36] ---
Like, super strong.
Y'know?
[18:39] ---
The white-haired kid is legit.
[18:41] ---
- True that.
- Right?
[18:43] ---
Did you see him fight Ko in the water?
I was blown away.
[18:48] ---
- I saw it 20,000 times!
- Liar.
[18:50] ---
And now, even Four-Eyes
suddenly leveled up.
[18:54] ---
Yeah, we've got to do something
about those wires.
[18:57] ---
But it's not us
choosing the map this time.
[19:01] ---
Front liners, remember to stay cool,
or they'll get you.
[19:03] ---
Ikoma Squad
Operator: Maori Hosoi (17)
[19:05] ---
Got it, Kai?
[19:08] ---
Of course.
[19:09] ---
I'm also a Grasshopper user,
so I'll stop Kuga-chan!
[19:14] ---
No! I was saying not to charge in alone.
[19:17] ---
Oopsy.
[19:18] ---
And don't forget the girl in Tamakoma-2.
[19:23] ---
That girl...
[19:25] ---
is small and cute!
[19:27] ---
What?!
[19:29] ---
Iko-san says that about
every girl he sees.
[19:32] ---
No kidding.
[19:36] ---
He's never said that about me.
[19:38] ---
Mario has a "He's never said that
about me" look on her face.
[19:42] ---
Huh?!
[19:44] ---
What?! Don't you know you're cute?!
[19:46] ---
You have your cute side.
[19:47] ---
Mario senpai, you're cute!
[19:49] ---
You guys are sick!
You creep me out!
[19:53] ---
Cut it out! It's not funny!
[19:59] ---
Well, we know Amatori-chan's tricks now.
[20:03] ---
We can block her Lead Bullet sniping.
[20:06] ---
It's all thanks to Teruya-chan.
[20:09] ---
Right, and she's cute too.
[20:14] ---
Counter sniping is the quickest way
to take her out.
[20:19] ---
We're counting on you, Oki.
[20:21] ---
Got it. I'll harden my heart
and shoot her.
[20:26] ---
Oji Squad is good at fighting
in close quarters.
[20:31] ---
The three members move together
like Kakizaki Squad.
[20:36] ---
They all have Hounds.
Even the Attacker uses it a lot.
[20:41] ---
It'll be bad if we get surrounded.
[20:43] ---
Right.
[20:44] ---
We need to look out for
the Captain, Oji senpai.
[20:48] ---
He's a tricky Attacker who uses
Kogetsu, Scorpion, and Hound.
[20:53] ---
This time, Oji Squad
gets to choose the map.
[20:57] ---
Our tactics depend on
where they choose.
[21:03] ---
Oji Squad Strategy Room
[21:14] ---
Oji Squad
Operator: Haya Kittaka (19)
[21:21] ---
After contemplating...
[21:25] ---
I've decided to go with Cityscape A.
[21:35] ---
If I can save someone with
[21:41] ---
The purpose I harbor in my heart
[21:46] ---
I'm willing to be a sacrifice
[21:51] ---
A selfishness born from weakness
[21:58] ---
Without noticing my many scabs
[22:00] ---
My days pass by as I waver
[22:04] ---
With my worn-out sneakers
[22:07] ---
I'm so weak on my own
[22:13] ---
Powerless and paralyzed
[22:18] ---
But in the darkness
deprived of moonlight
[22:24] ---
You're there by my side
[22:30] ---
Laughing about silly things
[22:33] ---
Sharing reasons to feel pain
[22:36] ---
A light resonates between us
[22:38] ---
It's a time we'll never forget
[22:41] ---
I pray that I get stronger
[22:44] ---
To that finite starry sky
[22:47] ---
We're together hand in hand
[22:49] ---
One-third of ourselves
