Did Dad send me something again?

Incoming Call

Kotobuki Bukiko

Swipe for Home Screen

Bukiko?

'Morning and stuff!

'Morning.

So, my dad all of a sudden is, like, "I want to go for a family drive"

and he's making a big scene and stuff...

I've gotta bail on today's plans. You forgive me?

Sure. No problem.

Phew, thanks a lot!

I am in your debt, Madam!

Oh, and I'll totally help you with English on Monday, so get your study on, okay?

Really? Thanks! Well, see you.

Suddenly, now I've got nothing to do.

I'm sure not in the mood for English, though.

I mean...

this Sunday is just getting started!

Oh, yeah! I forgot.

"Gou... Rai"?

I'm sure it's a present from my dad congratulating me on getting into my school.

A toy?

What is this? What do you do with it?

Huh?

I am Gourai. I have now been activated.

Wait, what?! Toys these days are awesome!

This thing totally just spoke!

M-Master!

Wow... And this material is a lot softer than I'd expected.

Please stop that, Master.

"Master"? What's that about? That's just weird.

Then how should I address you?

I'm Ao. Just call me "Ao."

Understood, Ao.

It sounds so real!

This doll sure is great.

I wonder where my dad bought it...

Still, I'm in high school now.

Daddy always treats me like a kid!

Well, I should still send him a thank-you text.

Um, Ao?

Yeah? What?

Please assemble my armor components.

Armor.?

I would like you to remove these, assemble them, and attach them to my body.

Geh, that sounds like too much work.

I'm no good at that kind of stuff.

But without these parts, I—

You're fine the way you are. You're cute!

Cute?

Yup, that's right!

"Cute..."

Anyway, first things first: We should charge you.

Ah, yes.

This is your charger, huh?

So, where do I plug this in?

My lower back.

Here, huh?

F.A. Girl.

Um...

Yeah?

I would like you to attach those parts to me after all.

Huh?

Assembling and equipping them is what finally makes us Frame Arms Girls.

"Frame Arms Girls"?

Wait, Gourai, you're not a doll?

No. I am an AS-equipped robot.

"AS"?

It stands for Artificial Self.

I am installed with the intelligence of a 10-year-old human,

but in interacting with you, Master, I am able to learn new information.

What do you mean, "information"?

I've heard it's called "emotion."

Emotion?

Yes.

Huh...

So, like, you have to put this stuff on?

Yes.

And that's that?

That is that.

Well, fine. I guess we can try.

Thank you very much, Ao.

I can just pop these out, right?

Stop.

Huh?

Please use nippers.

"Nippers"?

It is a tool.

Like this.

Oh, those!

I think the building manager has some.

So, you really have to attach those parts?

He had some!

These, right?

Th-Those are Kotobuki Nippers!

Huh? What's that?

They are legendary, said to be nippers of the highest quality.

Their edge is as keen as the finest Japanese steel,

and the slightest pressure is enough to slice through model parts.

Edges are cut smooth and flat,

such that parts almost never turn white, as with normal nippers.

They were made by a master craftsman from an area known for its blades,

and their single-edged construction is the perfect balance of cutting edge and required tensile strength.

By having only a single sharp blade, the other end acts as a cutting board,

meaning parts that are cut free are...

Stop!

Again?

Please remove parts in the order listed in the instruction manual before assembling.

Oh, really?

Ao, that is No. 6.

Huh? It's 9, right?

The underline indicates the correct reading.

This is 9.

Whoa, that was close!

Ao, stop.

Now what?

Please insert Part C9 before snapping those two together.

If you forget that, you'll have to reassemble it...

but if you try to take it apart, you run the danger of breaking it.

That makes sense.

Ah!

I can't find it.

Well, that's fine.

No, it is not.

Huh? Where's the harm? It was just a small part, anyway.

Let's look a little longer.

Whaaaaat?

Ao.

There's something behind here.

It's the photo album my grandma sent me!

Who are these people?

My mom and dad, and me when I was young.

You live here with your parents?

No, no way.

My dad's working overseas, and my mom went with him.

I'm in high school now, so I'm living on my own.

I see. Um...

What's happening here?

This is...

Oh. I'm crying because I got stung by a bee.

Crying...

And here?

Well... I think I'm cranky because I dropped my ice cream.

Cranky...

What about this?

This is...

What is this? I'm smiling, though.

Smiling...

Why are you smiling?

Well, I don't know. I don't remember.

Then what sort of emotion does your expression indicate?

Okay, that's enough.

But why?

You ask too many questions. It's a pain.

I swear, Gourai, you're just like...

Like...

Huh? This feels like déjà vu.

Wait, what?!

It's night already? So that's why I've been feeling hungry!

I'll be back soon.

It seems it got stuck in your clothing.

Inageya

Cheep, cheep.

Sweets

Tachikawa Iseya

Welcome!

Crying...

Cranky...

Smiling...

I'm back!

I remember now, Gourai.

That déjà vu thing was from when I was a kid.

When I was young, I looked at a photo album with my mom and was like, "What's this?" "What's that?"

That's just like you, huh?

BAM!

This place's inarizushi is great!

And I got this too!

Ta-daa! A birthday cake!

You got activated today, so that makes it your birthday, right?

Today... April 18th is my birthday.

The birthday you chose for me.

Happy birthday!

Uh, do Frame Arm Girls not eat?

Correct.

Ah. Well, that's a shame.

No... I think there is no shame in this feeling.

Oh, really?

Yes. However, I don't know what to call this emotion.

Don't worry about that.

You'll figure it out, right? With that AS of yours.

True enough.

Stylet and Baselard

Stylet and Baselard

Have a good day, Ao.

Okay, see you later.

I knew it... But two of them?

I get the feeling it'd be a hassle to open them now so I'll do it when I'm back from school.

I'll be counting on you in case anything happens, Gourai.

Understood, Ao.

See you.

I've found you, Gourai!

Not bad.

Who's this? A friend?

I wouldn't call her a friend...

I'm Stylet.

Stylet? Another gift from my dad?

Ao Gennai: Are you an idiot?

An idiot? Idiot? You're dissing me?!

Gourai, hurry and get ready.

It's battle time.

"Battle"?

It means we're going to fight. Probably.

But why would you fight? I don't get it.

You two! There's no how or why about it!

Battling was the very reason we were sent here, you giant idiots!

"Giant" idiots?!

You said "we" just now, didn't you?

So then, a Frame Arms Girl is in here as well?

Well, of course!

What? There's another one?

Why hasn't she come out?

I don't know. She's probably asleep.

F.A. Girl!

Whoa. She really is asleep!

Indeed.

Wake up, Baselard!

Don't fall back asleep!

Ouch...

Cut that out, Stylet! I'm still sleep y!

Nice to meet you, Baselard.

Ah, Gourai!

So you got activated, huh?

Awesome! Awesome!

So, so, how'd the battle go? Who won?

We haven't done it yet.

Huh?

Why're you wasting time, Stylet?!

You're not one to talk, sleepyhead!

Um...

Why are you two here?

And what do you mean about fighting me?

Did none of you read the e-mail from Factory Advance?

Oh, there it is.

It was in my Spam folder!

Uh...

"Miss Ao Gennai,

From: Factory Advance

To: Me

Re: Receipt of F.A. Girls

this is in regards to Gourai, the Frame Arms Girl currently under development at our company.

Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience, but..."

Ao? What is it?

This e-mail's too long. I can't be bothered to read it.

So, what's going on?

Well, they sent Gourai test models out to a bunch of different people,

but yours is the only one that's been activated.

Oh, really?

I just kinda pushed stuff at random...

That randomness led to a miracle!

This is the only active Gourai in the world, so Factory Advance is paying close attention.

Now I see. That's why I have to be battle tested?

But, what's the point of fighting?

The battle data will be collected and analyzed

so Frame Arms Girls can be installed with a more advanced AS.

If they want to mass produce a good product, they've gotta collect a lot of data!

So you guys are like free samples!

Yup, that's right!

This is making my head hurt...

Baselard.

Hm?

Sorry, but I'd like to battle her first.

I want to win this and go home.

Gotcha!

You think you can beat me?

Of course.

Okay, so, let's battle.

Wait, hold on!

You're doing this battle thing here?!

Not so much "here" as...

In this Session Base!

Hey, Gourai? If Stylet wins, battle me next, okay?

Ao. Would you please attach my armor?

Huh? But how?

An app should have been attached to that prior e-mail.

Oh, yeah. This, right?

Place Shoulder Armor on my left shoulder and the smoothbore on my right.

Then, put Knee Armor over my Thigh Armor and treads behind my Leg Armor.

And please place the Tactical Knife alongside my left Leg Armor.

Gourai? You ready to lose?

Gourai...

Stylet...

Frame Arms Girls Session...

Go!

Just you watch!

This moment, right now...

is a party!

Well then... here I go!

Where is Stylet?

Oh, wow! Stylet sure is fast!

What are you aiming at?

I can't reach her.

This is...

Oh, dear. It looks like Gourai's smoothbore has a straggler.

"Straggler"?

A piece left behind when the parts are removed from the runner.

Her parts aren't on tight, so she can't aim properly.

Tee-hee!

What are you doing? You're hopeless!

You mean, I might not have cut it out properly?

That's right!

I'm sorry, Gourai!

This will be a piece of cake.

I get it.

The smoothbore was loose so you forced it on, huh?

Still, why can't she hit her?

Gourai's smoothbore never had a chance against Stylet.

I mean, Stylet's fast, and she's flying!

So she's had a disadvantage right from the start!

Yup! But I want the data on how Gourai plans to fight her.

Fine...

Gourai!

Yes.

This one here said your shots will land if you get closer.

But...

Why don't you fly too?

Understood, Ao!

You're just gonna ram me?

Talk about desperate.

Are you ready to lose?

The winner: Gourai!

Whoa! You won, Gourai!

Thanks to you, Ao.

Me?

Yes.

It can't be... I lost?

Stylet!

You were super cool yourself!

I-I was "cool"?

Yup!

Oh, my. Are you blushing? You blushing there, Stylet?

Of course I'm not!

Next time, I'll beat you for sure, Gourai!

Huh? You're going to do that again?

Well, of course!

I can't let this end with a loss!

You do hate losing, don't you?

Rather, she has an inflated sense of pride.

It was interesting watching you two battle...

Still, watching this go on and on could get old quick.

Ao!

If you help us gather battle data, Factory Advance will pay you for it.

Huh? Really?! How much?

It should be more than you could get working part-time.

For real?!

Yes! I was thinking I'd probably have to get a job!

I'll do it! I'll totally do it!

Speaking of, do you not have to go to school today?

Oh, no! I'm gonna be late for sure!

This is bad! BAD!

See you later!
