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.

Uninstall.

11:00 PM, nothing to report.

What was that?!

Sound the alarm!

Yes, sir!

Affection

Councilor Komoda, how extensive was the damage to your house?

Only part of the porch and entryway were singed. Nothing too serious.

And your family?

Everyone is safe.

Do you have any idea who the arsonist might be?

Not in the slightest.

Do you think it has any relation to the fabrication of the Zearth Report?

The Zearth Report is no sham. I've never met the person who admitted such nonsense.

Will this attack have any effect on your future political intentions?

Absolutely not.

I have a responsibility to my constituents.

I will not bend to such cowardly actions!

Who would do something this cruel?

There are people in this world too full of hate towards those who actually tell the truth.

They shouldn't do something like this because of that, though!

Don't worry. Komoda-san won't cave to something like this.

Don't you give in either, dear!

Yeah.

Papa, is this that special program you're doing?

News Clever always gets amazing ratings when we deal with Zearth.

In this special show I'm hosting, if we report the truth as it really is...

I'm sure everyone will write off the idea of the Zearth Report being fake.

Yeah!

Do your best!

Well, I'll be off.

Have a good day, Papa!

Anything will do. Can you remember any details about the suspect?

It was just so sudden... and he was fairly far away.

I'm so sorry.

If I had only arrived sooner...

Don't worry about it.

I'm just glad to see you safe and unhurt.

Go back to your post.

Yes, sir.

If you'll excuse me...

He's been here a long time, so he really feels responsible for this sort of thing.

But y'know, Rep, please tell the cops not to push themselves too hard over this.

I intend to.

This may seem pretty rough at a glance...

but if you look at it another way, you can tell they didn't hesitate at all when doing it.

It probably means the perpetrators are used to this sort of thing.

If it was just that, I wouldn't be worried.

But they broke through the gate to the house, set the entranceway on fire, and left without any apprehension.

This is just their way of saying hello.

They'll be back.

And there's the man who came forward, saying he wrote the Zearth Report...

I didn't think people would react this way in response to my questioning of the Prime Minister.

I'd really like to believe the government isn't involved in this.

I've caused so many problems for you because I suggested going public, Komoda-san.

In the end, I made the decision.

It's not like I can back down now.

From now on, the two of us will also keep guard around here.

The military says they'll send bodyguards to protect the children.

Councilor, there's a middle school boy asking to come in...

Who is it?

Beats me.

Could you please bring him in?

Right away, ma'am.

What are you doing here?

Here.

Tamotsu-san asked me to pick this up.

Ah, that's right! I completely forgot about it.

I thought you might be hungry with all that's happened.

Here's a snack.

Oh, what's that?

Fish loaf on a board!

Fish loaf?

It tastes like heaven! And it's said to be lucky.

A charm for hoping that work settles down and returns to normal.

Well, doesn't that sound great? Thank you for being so considerate.

Why don't I go put up some tea then?

Everyone, please come in.

Before that, Rep... since we'll be your bodyguards from now on...

I'd like to take a look around your house and get an idea of the layout.

I'll show you around.

Then, I should also...

No, no. Please have the fish loaf with Ushiro-kun inside.

You know I can't, at a time like this!

It's because it's a time like this that you should!

I'm done with my errand, so I'm going home.

Really?

Then why don't you walk Ushiro-kun to the gate?

It's such a big house, he could get lost!

Go on, you two.

Okay?

The temperature's really dropped lately, huh?

Yeah.

Ushiro-kun, aren't you cold wearing just a T-shirt?

Not really.

Do you have anything to wear for the winter?

I do...

If you need anything, I could pick it up for you.

Why would you?

I see...

Kana asked me the same thing.

Whether I was cold or not.

She was dressed just as lightly!

She's such a brat.

I see...

Though in the end, you really are watching out for her, huh?

I-I'm just...!

I told you, she's a brat!

You just get embarrassed about it.

Then, I'll pay you back later.

You'll buy her something to wear, right?

Right now, I'm borrowing money from Kanji, so I'm broke.

And I've been worried about what Kana's been wearing, too.

I don't know women's styles.

Okay! Sure!

Let's go buy something for her later on.

A game?

Is that what you were told...

by this man, Kokopelli, who you met in a cave on Mitomo Island?

Ah! Umm...

Yes. He explained that it would be a game where we'd fight giant robots.

So you didn't think you'd actually be riding a real robot at the time, then.

Right. There were lots of computers in the cave, so I imagined it was some computer game.

What else did this Kokopelli tell you?

He suggested we enter into this contract that would let us play the game.

Did you get stage fright?

Of course!

So you can be cute sometimes, Kanji!

You little...!

Have you learned anything about the arson incident?

No...

Tokosumi-san.

Mind if we leave a little early?

Ah, sure. We're already done here.

Aiko, I have some work to take care of, so I'll see you later tonight.

Okay...

Thanks for today, kids.

I know that woman! She's a model!

I've seen her before in a magazine.

Oh...?

These brainless monkeys just don't seem to get it.

They persist with their stupid, useless resistance.

Huh? You've gotten emotional about this whole thing again?

Give me a break. We're already at the finale.

You say something?

Nope. Not a thing.

I didn't say anything.

Ah, is that so?

We're already at the finale? You've already decided?

Yeah.

It'll be Yoshikawa.

I have high hopes for him.

Then you've finalized the order?

After Tokosumi will be Komoda. Then Ushiro.

After him, we'll just go Seki and Tanaka, I guess, and then this Earth's battles will be over.

Then, I'll have Yoshikawa do the final job.

So you won't choose Kana-chan?

Well, she's still a kid.

Though it is kinda fun seeing children cry, bawl and scream as they die pitifully.

Stop talking like that...

Onii-chan.

How'd the interview go?

I was a little nervous, but I made it through somehow.

I see.

I hope everything works out.

Do you really think that?

I do.

Come to think of it, you were with Komoda-san's daughter, right?

Yeah.

Did she say anything about what happened yesterday?

Just a little. She said she hopes the criminal is caught soon, or something like that.

Though it's not like it'll do much good even if they are arrested.

What's that supposed to mean?

Just that the one really pulling the strings is probably hiding.

I guess Komoda-san should be more careful about what he says from now on.

Seems like you know a lot about what's going on.

I thought you only filled your head with your research.

It's not like this doesn't involve me.

I need to know these things so I can continue my research.

This'll be over soon.

I deeply apologize for the trouble I've caused to those involved due to my thoughtless actions.

The Zearth special's been cancelled?!

They got us again!

Yes?

No one is here right now.

Yes.

Yes? No one is here at the moment.

I'm sorry, I don't know.

Yes.

You don't have to pick up the phone anymore.

Just unplug it.

Yes, ma'am.

What kind of relationship did you have with Tokosumi-san?

I respect him for his work, of course, but it's nothing more than that.

This is pathetic...

Mama...

Getting seduced by that bitch...

In the end, all men want are younger bodies.

Ah! It's his daughter!

Hey! Can you talk with us for a minute?

Excuse me!

Please let me through!

Please let me through!

Get out of the way!

Like father, like daughter, huh?

Seki-san's car is nearby.

Mama's...

Mama's... not herself anymore!

I hate this!

Just forget about your parents.

I'm here for you.

Hey there.

You okay, babycakes?

Umm... here you go.

Thanks.

It must've been rough with all of that paparazzi.

They'd probably only ask stupid questions anyway.

Papa might've done something wrong, but...

it's not like he's the only person in the world who's cheated on his wife, right?

Thanks.

Why do we have to go through this?

Isn't it horrible for everyone to gang up on us like this?

I guess so...

Papa's done a great job until now!

He was always the hero of the weak, and he was even working to help us!

And now everyone's suddenly against him...

Well, that might be true...

But your dad's an amazing person who's always on TV, right?

Those who have that much power might have to shoulder the same amount of responsibility.

Responsibility?

That's just one of those ironclad rules for people who stand on top of others.

And your dad's firmly kept to the rule. He had to, to protect both you and your mom, right?

Seki-san, where's Papa right now?

Papa...

Aiko...

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Papa, don't you love Mama anymore?

I do!

I just fell to temptation...

Then hurry and go home, Papa.

Mama's not doing well right now.

Please, go to her side.

But the house is surrounded by the media...

lt'd be better if we wait till this all calms down...

Papa, you have to go now.

Because you have to be the one to protect Mama.

Fight on her behalf.

Because...

I'm going to fight on behalf of Earth.

This is gonna be a harsh fight.

Put some distance between us!

If it skewers our cockpit, we're done for!

And if we just wait, we'll run out of time!

You can't defeat it if you don't get closer.

But that's just what the enemy wants!

If we don't attack it while our injuries are light, we won't be able to land the finishing blow if we get the chance!

Everyone, I'm gonna try it. It's do or die.

Anko!

Will you be all right?

Kanji, I can fight on my own, so watch me.

Yeah!

I didn't want the responsibility of dying to protect the Earth.

I always thought deep in my heart that Papa and Mama would make things better, but...

I have no choice but to fight by myself.

I don't want to die by losing!

We hit it!

You can do this!

Anko-chan, you did great!

Anko!

Anko!

Anko!

Thanks...

I could fight because you were there for me.

Anko...

Anko!

Who are these people...?

Are they the Masterminds?

They're so far away...

And far too grand...

We can't possibly... defeat them.

Ah, how boring!

I thought Tokosumi would at least break down crying and screaming with her nose dripping!

Screw you...

Acting all high and mighty, letting your mouth run like that!

In the end, you're just a dog of the Masterminds, aren't you?!

There are some things you can say and some you can't, Yoshikawa.

I've been patient, but you just really pissed me off.

You can die next, you little bitch!

Me...?

Guess I missed!

Vermillion. We clung to life with all of our strength.

Vermillion. We never stopped to think how disgusting that was.

Because you were so straightforward...

when you said you couldn't see your chair,

I was worried because you looked about to snap, like a branch in winter.

You ran off that day,

throwing a crumpled ball of paper at me.

When my fingers traced the words "please remember me,'

I loudly cried out into the setting sun.

Vermillion. We clung to life with all of our strength.

Vermillion. We never stopped to think how disgusting that was.

We never stopped to think how disgusting that was.
