Hey!

You're Kouichi Hayase-kun, right?

I'm Miu Kujou.

I've been asked to act as your guide.

Nice to meet you.

R-Right...

It's been a week since then.

Have things settled back down at school and stuff?

Well, more or less...

I'm sure handling both JUDA and school will be tough

until you get used to things,

but hang in there!

This is...

...the employee dormitory for those of us in JUDA's Special Service Division.

It's only for the Factors and people who are involved with the Machinas.

Then, Kizaki's here, too?

Do you want to know?

Welcome to the employee dormitory, Hayase-kun!

- Now, go right on in! - W-Wait!

Don't push me!

This is the key to your room.

The doors have the room numbers on them, but if you'd like...

I'll go find it on my own!

Sheesh! I'm not a child, damn it!

Pardon us for the commotion, building manager.

...right now, I just want to help you guys!

That much, I'm sure of!

Now, just...

...leave the rest to me!

If he's beginning to grow up, even a little,

I need to work hard, too!

203... 203...

This is it.

Huh?

- What?! - You...

- Wha?! ...really are...

- Boobs?! ...despicable!

What?!

Blood pressure and heart rate are going down!

Injecting D-soil activator!

Auto-repair functionality is currently at 58%!

Transfer him to the modulation tank immediately!

He just got here. What the heck's he been up to?

He's so idiotic.

Man, sorry about that, Hayase-kun.

I accidentally gave you the wrong card key, you see.

Kizaki-kun, I want to apologize to you, too.

- Oh, no... - Don't worry, Emi-chan.

I'll be sure to have a stern word with the CEO later.

What?

Uh, th-then...

These are the members of the Special Service Division,

our elite, and the pride and joy of JUDA...

And, yes... Let's have you introduce them, Kizaki-kun.

Oh, yes, sir.

Then, to start with...

Reiji Moritsugu-san, Special Service Division Chief.

He is the Factor of the Vardant,

a Machina made for close-quarter combat.

This is the first time for us to meet in person, Hayase.

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Likewise.

Next, we have the Factor of the Hind-Kind, a long-range combat Machina.

- Satoru Yamashita-kun. - Hey there.

Over here, we have the Factors of the Deceive, a Machina made for electro-neural combat.

Izuna Endou-kun and his elder twin sister, Shizuna-san.

Hayase-san, thank you very much for what you did the other day!

And the Factor of the Painkiller, a Machina made for base defense.

Miu Kujou-san.

And once again, it's nice to meet you.

That's everyone for the Machina Factors.

Thanks so much, building manager.

These two are Gorou Maki-san and Rachel Calvin-san

of the Technology Development Department.

Hey.

Welcome, Kouichi.

But don't wreck our Machinas anymore, okay?!

All right, then.

Now that the introductions are out of the way,

let's have a welcome party!

A welcome party...

We've got some new members, after all,

and it'll also help to deepen the team's rapport

in preparation for our battles to come with the Katou Organization.

And at the party,

you are all to put some kind of hidden talent on display.

- A hidden talent? - That's stupid.

What's this?

Ya don't sound too confident, Hayase.

What was that?!

We got showed up just a tad the other day,

but we sure aren't gonna lose this time!

We'll give ya an eyeful of our super classy hidden talent!

E-Excuse me, Sister...

Sheesh!

Why should I have to put a hidden talent on display?

I guess I can sing the school song or something just to get by.

This is it.

Room 212.

No...

Wait...

All right.

So this...

...is going to be my castle starting today.

Well, it's a pretty nice room.

Hi, Kouichi!

- Huh? - No time to waste!

The welcome party is tomorrow, you know!

- Come on, let's go! - What?!

M-My castle!

Wow...

So you guys even have a shopping arcade.

We are technically the leading medical equipments manufacturer, after all.

It's for the employees' welfare, as well as to protect company secrets.

All our restaurants and shopping needs are met here,

so you don't have to go outside.

Just flash your employee ID and all the stores will serve you for free.

Did you get your employee ID?

Y-Yeah. This, right?

Okay! Here we go!

Costumes! Make-up sets! Silver laminated shoes!

For decoration, ribbons, stencils, candles, and party poppers!

Hold on!

Why do you need all this for some measly hidden talents?

You can just sing some song and...

A song?

You're so naive, Hayase!

You won't survive in the Special Service Division with that attitude.

Wh-What?

Sorry, could you get these, too?

Th-Then, what are you going to do, Yamashita?

That's a secret.

I've got it all ready, though.

What?! For real?!

Of course.

It wouldn't be a hidden talent if you were practicing it at the last minute.

Damn it.

I don't want to look lame in front of her any more than I already have.

Man, that's what I call a shopping trip!

After that much shopping, we should have enough stuff.

Yeah, right?

Bastards...

You invited me along to make me carry your bags, didn't you?

What? We made sure to give you advice on hidden talents, too.

Throwing knives and leaping through flaming hoops don't help!

Aw, man...

I'm tired.

Uh-oh.

- You sat down in it? - Huh?

That's a state-of-the-art wheelchair

that was developed by applying Machina technology, you see.

I was about to do a startup test.

The selling point of this thing is that on top of a normal steering mode,

- Five. Four. Three. Two. - it's got an emergency ejection mechanism in case of disasters.

- One. Zero. - Having said that, it hasn't been equipped with a parachute yet... Oh.

Don't leave something like that sitting around!

Blood pressure and heart rate are going down!

Injecting D-soil activator!

Auto-repair functionality is currently at 42%!

Transfer him to the modulation tank immediately!

Talk about unlucky.

Getting caught in one of the CEO's new inventions...

It's just another one of those rookie initiation rites.

Koui...

Okay, everyone take your seats!

To start things off today, let me introduce a transfer student.

Ooh!

Awesome!

I am Emi Kizaki. It's nice to meet you.

The transfer student sure is pretty, isn't she?

- I wish she'd look this way. - What's Hayase doing with her?

- What? What? What are they talking about? - What's Hayase doing with her?

- What? What? What are they talking about? - Getting a head start on us, huh? Damn it!

What's this about?

I wasn't told you'd suddenly be transferring in.

It was something the CEO recommended.

That just like everyone else,

I have the right to have a normal school life.

But I made the decision of my own will.

- I believe that I should stay close to you. - What?

Since there is no knowing what you may do if I let you out of my sight.

What's with that? So I'm being monitored?

- Yes. - Aw, man...

Are you making progress getting ready for the welcome party?

No.

The Special Service Division is setting aside some of their precious time

in order to throw this party for us,

and to not respond in kind is despicable!

What?! Is it that big a deal?

This is why you are no good.

And what about you? Are you ready?

Of course!

Man!

With that kind of pressure, I'm even more at a loss as to what to do.

What in the world can I display as a hidden talent?

Please help me!

- Wha?! - Hayase-san!

Hayase-san, please... please help me!

Wh-What?

Hey, Izuna!

Quit runnin' away just 'cause yer wearin' an outfit like that!

We won't win against that bastard Hayase like this...

H-Hayase?!

What the hell're ya doin' here?!

What am I doing here?

Shoot!

Now that Hayase's seen us like this, we'll hafta change our plans!

Izuna! Take that off!

Sister, please stop!

I don't think so! Give it up!

Come on, stop that.

What? Ya gonna get in my way?

Doin' that isn't gonna change the fact that yer gonna lose!

That's not the issue here!

You may be siblings,

but I don't know that a girl should be trying to make a guy strip!

Shizuna, you're a girl, so act more like it!

Right, Shizuna?

H-Hayase, ya made that mistake on purpose, didn't ya?!

That should make it a little easier to tell, right?

You're a girl, so you should dress up a little more. Okay?

Th-That's none of yer business!

Ya listen to me!

What ya did here's got no bearin' on tonight's hidden talent contest!

Ya better be ready for it!

Just ya watch!

Sister, wait for me!

But man...

Are those the lengths that I have to go to for my hidden talent?

You seem to be troubled, Hayase-kun.

C-CEO?!

I am not the CEO.

Right now, I am Ku-tan, a mystical fairy

that hides in the forests of JUDA or something like that...

l-I see...

A gift from a fairy to a troubled young man.

A gift?

Use it as a reference for your hidden talent tonight.

What the heck is this?

K-Kizaki?!

Th-This is...

Hey there, Hayase-kun.

Th-The CEO?!

Kizaki-kun is a rookie like you,

so carefully watch what her hidden talent is and use that as a reference.

Oh?

Kouichi-kun, what are you doing out here?

No, th-this is...

Y-You've got it all wrong!

This is a g-gift that the forest fairy gave me!

Huh? That's your excuse for peeping in Emi's room?!

You really are despicable!

For two young people,

it's more delectable when you add this kind of spice to the mix.

Blood pressure and heart rate are going down!

Injecting D-soil activator!

Auto-repair functionality is currently at 27%!

Transfer him to the modulation tank immediately!

"Welcome Kouichi Hayase-kun, Emi Kizaki-san"

"Welcome Kouichi Hayase-kun, Emi Kizaki-san" Well, Moritsugu-kun seems to be running a little late,

Well, Moritsugu-kun seems to be running a little late,

but I would like to hold this welcome party

to celebrate Hayase-kun and Kizaki-kun joining our company!

To start with, here's to everyone's health

and the Special Service Division's good work! Cheers!

Cheers!

Next up, let's get right to the hidden talents!

Yeah!

Okay, I'll go first!

I'm going to recite all the stations on the Tokaido Main Line from memory!

Tokyo. Shimbashi.

- Tamachi. Shinagawa. Oimachi. - Okay, then! Ignorin' him as always, we're up next!

- Omori. Kamata. - Hayase! - Wh-What?

- Kawasaki. Tsurumi. Shin-Koyasu. - Just ya watch! There's no doubt it's gonna be a huge win for us today!

- Higashi-Kanagawa. Yokohama. - Ya better not start blubberin' just 'cause you lost!

- Totsuka. Ofuna. - Uh, I don't recall actually agreeing to compete...

- Fujisawa. Tsujido. - Here goes...

Chigasaki. Hiratsuka.

How do ya like that?! Ya see this talent here?!

- And? - Huh?

What are you going to do?

Shoot!

I only thought 'bout our costumes and I didn't come up with an act!

- Kannami. Mishima. - Stupid... - It's okay, it's okay!

- Numazu. Katahama. - Okay, let's go to the next act!

Here goes, Kouichi-kun!

Go, beast!

Nagaokakyo. Yamazaki.

- Thank you! Thank you! - Takatsuki. - Sheesh.

- Settsu-Tonda. Ibaraki. - And this is an organization that protects the world?

- Yes, it is. - Senrioka.

- Kishibe. Suita. - It is because we are an organization that protects the world, Hayase-kun.

- Higashi-Yodogawa. Shin-Osaka. - Mistakes are absolutely impermissible in our line of work.

We're expected to succeed.

Fail and the entire world rains criticism down on us.

The UN and the governments...

All the bigwigs will say whatever they please.

No matter how hard we work, no one will praise us.

The job is heavy on responsibility and light on reward.

Even so, we have no choice but to do it.

Once this little break is over,

we have to go right back to our job protecting the world.

Being the champions of justice is a tough job.

Hayase-kun.

I heard from Ogawa-san.

That what happened during the day was the CEO pulling a prank on us.

And yet, not knowing that, I...

Oh, no, it's not really...

So, just this once...

What?

Just this once, won't you please...

...help me with my hidden talent?

Sure.

Ah! So the two rookies will be working together

in the beautiful spirit of cooperation.

What the heck? That's no fair.

Sister, what are you drinking?

This juice is crazy sweet.

And now...

...I will saw Hayase-kun's body in half!

The magic trick of sawing a person in half, huh?

She's going all-out.

As you can see, there are no tricks or gimmicks involved!

This isn't magic!

That thing will saw me in half for real, Kizaki!

There will be no problem.

In one of your TV shows that I watched previously,

the severed body was restored when they put the box back together.

Th-There's a real trick to that!

S-Say Kizaki, are you still angry?!

Is that it?!

Then, here we go!

S-Stop!

"Why the heck"...

I still have a long way to go!

Kouichi...

I'm glad you came to visit him.

Because it seemed

like things had been awkward between you and Yajima...

- It was... - What?

It was my fault.

Because I was an idiot.

The things that Yajima said were always right,

but I never tried to meet him halfway...

And that's why...

In the end...

"To Yajima"

"To Yajima" I know it's too little too late.

I know it's too little too late.

But now, I desperately want to meet Yajima halfway.

If that's what you want to do,

then I think it's the right thing to do.

What?

I mean, the most important thing

is what you want to do right now, isn't it?

Besides, I'll bet if Yajima were here, he'd say,

"It's not too little too late. It's better late than never."

"To Yajima"

Thank you.

Man, my head still feels wobbly somehow.

But well, I finally have my own room now,

which is something I've always wanted.

I could have girls over and stuff.

And we could chat together in private and stuff!

You're despicable.
