Uninstall.

Back then, the greatest shock to our reality...

was that our lives were so primitive and simplistic, it was laughing in our faces.

Even covering my ears, the truth slipped through my fingers and left me confused.

Where in my frail body am I supposed to hold the strength to stand?

Uninstall. Uninstall.

Right now, I can't even begin to understand...

how the countless lives on this planet are essentially one.

Uninstall. Uninstall.

It looks like I'll have no choice but to act as a soldier who knows no fear.

Uninstall.

Weakness

- Are you seriously saying that...? - Do you really think I'm joking?

So that's what happened to Waku?

It wasn't because he fell, but...

I don't believe it...

I mean, come on, right?

But... they're dead.

Both Waku-kun and Kodama-kun.

Am I going to die, too?

You'll be fine! P-Perfectly fine!

We'll work it out somehow.

Hey... you said this thing moves by using our life forces, right?

Then we'll be fine as long as we don't fight, right?

As long as we don't move Zearth a single step.

We might as well just not ride it at all!

This is all probably set up so that's not allowed.

Bingo.

You can run if you want...

but if the battle remains unfinished after 48 hours, the Earth will go boom either way.

You mean the Earth will be destroyed?

You seem to get it.

It probably goes unsaid, but if anyone loses, that will also make it blow up.

You can win, save the Earth and die, or lose, take the Earth with you and die.

It's one on the other. That's it.

Some of your enemies might go on the warpath, too.

So, don't you think beating them as fast as possible would be best?

Screw you! You little...!

Hey, now. Don't get carried away with your little tantrum.

In exchange for your lives, you've gained tremendous power you can control freely to save your friends.

What could make anyone happier, right?

So that's what it means to protect the Earth...

What?! Don't agree with this bullshit!

Kako, quit it!

How can you say that?!

What the hell is wrong with you, pig?!

Are you insane?

I-I'm scared of dying, too...

Shut the hell up about dying!

There's nothing we can do about it.

"One for all" is how the saying goes...

and we've been told that we have to do this, so it's our duty to see it finished.

I can sorta see it if I think of it like...

if we don't fight, a lot of people are going to die.

Our families included.

So in that case, we have to prepare our minds and just do it.

Then step up and show us you'll die for them first.

Ushiro! Don't you care about your family and Kana-chan at all?!

Stop it.

Ushiro's circumstances are a little different.

He lost his mother at an early age.

Kanji!

You think it's Kana-chan's fault that your mother died, right?

It has nothing to do with you! Shut the hell up!

Why do I have to go through this for a household like that?

Honestly, it's not the first thing on my mind, either.

Protecting my family, and all that.

And beyond that, protecting the Earth.

Well, enjoy your remaining time to the fullest, boys and girls.

Those with questions, please raise your hands.

Yes.

There have been witnesses claiming that the behemoth has already appeared twice prior to this horrible disaster?

Was the government aware of this?

We received such information, but there wasn't enough detail to pass judgment on the state of affairs.

Are you saying that up until its third appearance, the government could not prepare a countermeasure?

We find these losses terribly regrettable.

The government is prepared to offer the greatest support possible to the victims of this disaster.

What do you want?

I-I'm sorry...

Umm... has something happened...?

If something's bothering you, you can always talk to me about it, and...

Do you really think you can do something about it?!

Fuck off!

But you never know unless you talk it over...

I'm going to die soon.

Do you get it?

I bet you don't.

What kind of silly things are you saying?

Mom, just give it up.

Just leave a brat like him alone.

Why don't the two of you fall off a cliff and die, too?!

Get the fuck out of here! Get out!

Hey! Stop it!

- Isao! - You're annoying as all hell!

- Isao! - Just go!

God damn it...

Yo.

You sure are making a mess of the place.

There's nothing to be that scared about.

Why are you here?

You really are pathetic.

Pull yourself together.

Why don't you try showing some of your good points and making Honda yours?

Chizu?

Otherwise, that Kirie guy is gonna beat you to her.

Those two have been getting along pretty well lately.

As if that'll ever happen.

There's no way she'd ever get with someone like Kirie.

Especially since Chizu's someone who'd take a liking to her teacher.

You're no fun at all.

So, what about you?

Will you be okay with it if she gets with her teacher?

You wanna fuck her brains out, don't you?

I know! Why don't I go over to Honda's now?

I wonder how she's doing...

It'd be nice if she were changing her clothes right about now.

What the hell are you saying?!

She does have a nice slender body.

You're still a virgin, right?

Is it really okay to die like this?

You'll regret it if you don't do it.

Shut up!

You're gonna die soon.

Quit spoiling the kid.

He's always doing whatever he wants and can't do anything on his own.

But...

Just leave him alone. Whatever or wherever he does something has nothing to do with us.

God damn it!

Huh? I overdid it?

What are you talking about?

All I did was give him a little push.

Though I must admit, I do enjoy seeing them with runny noses and throwing tantrums.

He is pretty interesting, still being a little kid and all.

He may even lose.

But even if his time were postponed, it's not like anything good would come of it.

Sorry, but I'm headed out.

Where are you going?

Do you have some stuff to take care of?

What does it have to do with you?

Ah... I was just wondering when you'd be back.

I don't mind waiting or anything.

I don't know.

I may be staying the night.

S-Staying the night?!

Where...?

Hey, are you going over to his place?

To Hatagai's?

So you also knew about us, Kako-kun.

Well, it's become a rumor...

Don't tell me you're still going out with him!

Are you an idiot or something? Quit going out with that old guy!

It's insane!

In the first place, it's just weird for someone to go out with one of his students.

That's between me and Sensei.

You're not home, Sensei...?

What's up? He wasn't there?

You sure it's not that?

You sure he's not avoiding you?

Hey, Chizu, if you're free, wanna go to the Suzugamori Aquarium?

They have dolphins there. Dolphins!

You liked them, didn't you?

This Suzugamori place is supposed to be something else.

Apparently it's different from all the others.

Come on, let's go!

We'll still be able to get there in time if we leave now.

Kako-kun, you just want to have sex with me, don't you?

Wh...

Hey, how much is in those rumors?

Does everyone know?

Everything I've done with Sensei?

Everything you've done?

When Sensei and I are one, it's not just my physical body...

He fills my heart to the brim, too.

What the hell?

Q-Quit it!

I'm sick of being messed around with!

My name is Morimoto. I'm from the National Defense Force Military Headquarters.

The National Defense Force?

We'd like to talk with you...

about the black behemoth.

Bokurano.

Where are we headed?

I'm not sure, but it looks like Komo talked to her dad about us.

So that's why we're all...?

I dunno.

This sure is small.

You idiot! This is a Myoko-class heavy cruiser!

It's so awesome!

Hey, where's Kako-kun?

Huh? He's not here.

We are currently searching for Kako-kun.

Once we find him, we will also bring him here.

Now, please come inside.

Sorry for bringing you all out this far.

I'm sure we must've surprised you, but we couldn't explain everything on the spot individually.

We still haven't informed any of your parents or guardians of the situation.

Do you know about us?

And what we've done?

We haven't been sitting around twiddling our thumbs.

We just couldn't afford to take action without first acquiring certain information.

But now you will be placed under the protection and command of...

the Cabinet Secretariat's Investigation Squad as first-class VIPs.

Protection?

From here on out, you will be escorted by a bodyguard around the clock.

You're going to protect us?

But if we're summoned to Zearth...

Zearth?

Zearth is what we've named it, but...

once we're summoned, we have no choice but to fight.

Ten thousand people have died.

At this rate, the body count will only continue to rise.

And not just here in Japan, but across the entire world.

We don't intend to make you children bear that responsibility.

Will we be... saved?

Right now, the nation is dealing with this as its top priority.

And now we've also joined the investigation.

You will all cooperate with us, won't you?

Now then, let me introduce you to my staff.

From the MSDF, Lieutenant Senior Grade Seki Masamitsu.

And from the ASDF, Captain Tanaka Misumi.

We would like to investigate this.

This unknown entity that suddenly appeared in Japan.

Right now, where is the being that you call Zearth?

We don't know...

Are you sure it's not underwater again?

We don't actually have full control over it.

We're just its pawns.

Probably.

Then what do we have to do to get to it?

How do you get there?

Through Dung Beetle, right?

And that is...?

How can I describe him...

I think it would be quicker just to meet him yourself.

I can meet this person?

Probably, if we call him.

Dung Beetle!

D-Dung Beetle...

Hey! You called?

If some cute little girls are calling for me, I guess I gotta show up and strut my stuff, y'know?

Are you Dung Beetle-kun?

Don't add "-kun."

Then... Dung Beetle.

That's Lord Dung Beetle to you!

You may be an adult, but you sure have no manners!

So, how about it?

We would like to investigate this Zearth...

Are you all a bunch of retards?

That's not something you guys can even begin to comprehend.

It's like a monkey trying to figure out how a tool of God works.

I agree.

However, this country is being victimized.

Therefore, I hope you can try to put yourself in our shoes...

and understand why it's natural that we'd want to investigate the reason.

That's grand.

But you know, these guys aren't fighting for anything as small as this country.

The whole planet's on the line.

Like I'd bother myself with a group of guys like you.

Take us there, now.

You really are beyond help.

Provoking an enemy without grasping his strength?

Have a nice trip.

Hurry, take him to the sickbay!

Yes, ma'am!

Take his arm, too!

Dung Beetle! That's going too far!

Why would you do that?!

You punks plan on speaking your mind to me?

Now, now, there's no reason to get so poignant, Mr. Dung Beetle.

Mister, huh? That doesn't sound too bad.

If our children will be riding in it as our planet's representatives...

then wouldn't it be all right if we investigated it as our planet's representatives?

Were you guys also chosen? No, right?

I understand.

Then, Mr. Dung Beetle, we will abandon investigating it.

Hey...

We can only make requests in our position.

Unlike the rest of these morons, you seem to get it.

But in exchange, at least let us observe it.

I like your style.

I'll let you investigate it.

And then you can learn just how powerless you truly are.

What do you mean?

Yeah... yeah...

They failed at collecting a sample from it.

They couldn't scrape a piece off?

They could not.

So we're stuck working from the optical data...

Well... after hitting it with multiple wavelengths, they all bounced back in an unstable form.

That's a bit troublesome.

Yes.

There's also a strong possibility that it cannot be detected by radar, either.

Just from what we can see, we only know that its been constructed with an exoskeleton...

and that its outer shell is covered in what we believe to be multiple layers of armor.

Just watching it sit there feels kind of strange.

Is it just my imagination, or does this seem futile since it's reflecting everything and rejecting us?

No. The other group members have been saying the same thing.

Sasami-san. Sasami-san.

It's no good. I can't connect from in here.

This place certainly is mysterious.

What sort of power is at work here?

What's all this? Your chairs?

Ah... yes.

We all sit in them when we fight.

These chairs are connected to the same ones where we live.

We can also travel here by using them as a medium.

Does that only work for you children?

Probably.

They're all in a circle, huh?

We can always see outside from all around us.

W-What are we gonna do?

They're spinning again...

No... no!

What's the matter? Calm down!

Did anyone hear a voice?

Nope...

Whose is it?

Tell us! Whose chair is that?!

Kako-kun...?

Oh, shoot! I forgot to summon Kako.

So... it's Kako-kun.

I feel so sorry for him...

A-Are you kidding me...?

Why?

Me...?

This has to be a joke!

Someone lay a branch beneath the baby bird's feet...

as a guidepost, so it won't get lost on the other side of the river.

Don't think that what you see here is everything there is to the world.

I watch your smiling profile as you gather the unripened blue berries.

I know they'll be bitter, yet your small wings shine brightly as you carry them.

Because you were born, you thought you were perfect.

You tried to fly off, but I held you back.
