It looks like the data was sent via Headquarters, as we'd suspected.

Which means... someone from the Instigators fiddled with the data.

To be able to pull that off so boldly... it must be someone with some influence.

Who would have thought they would move so openly...

When is the next expected interception?

One in forty-two hours. However, it's outside of our intercept area.

Should we monitor the transfer just in case?

Yeah, do that.

Okay, Rei-chan, we'll study math today.

No matter how many times I see her, she just doesn't look like an eight-year-old.

I see the value in the research of indirect infection.

How many times do we have to tell you?! Don't smoke in here!

Did you know?

There is evidence the estimated impact-point data was modified during yesterday's intercept mission.

And? It has nothing to do with us.

Soon, you may not have the leisure of saying that.

Anyway, this place is an open facility to anyone in the Organization.

If so, you know what the outcome will be.

H-Hold on.

Oh man, scratching your butt is hard in this.

How are you guys doing? We came all this way to visit you.

What's with that; it's like you're trying to make us feel like we owe you.

Are you sure you want to say that?

I heard your stomachs were all right, so I cooked up a feast.

If you don't want it, I'll take it.

We want it! We want it!

We were just getting hungry.

Ow!

Hey now, you're injured, so stop moving around.

Shut up.

Here you go.

It looks great. Itadakimasu.

Hey, no fair! Give me some, too!

They're like kids.

Hey, I can't reach it!

It's great.

Y-You want some, too?

Yup.

Hey, Karin...

Her appetite for food never goes away.

Slow down a little.

Visitor Mikuriya Ran-sama, you have a phone call from Mikuriya Jun-sama.

Please come to the nearest nurse station.

Is it Ran-san's father?

Yeah. I think that's right.

I wonder what it is...

Take this with you.

I'm sorry, Grandma.

I'll be back as soon as possible.

Don't worry about us.

Go bother your workaholic parents as much as possible and throw them off.

These kids will take care of the shop.

We should have taken the pilot seats...

We're all set.

Yes.

Let's get going.

Yeah.

But who'd have thought Ran-san's parents were at that Tsukuba Research Center.

If we'd known that, we never would have had to do anything crazy.

It was fun, so that's that.

You were the only one who enjoyed it!

Find out if Miharu's all right! At least a picture of her!

We understand your feelings, but...

You can't leave your work behind, can you?

"Even Ran-chan's doing this to us?"

"So cramped~meow."

While the demon's gone, Kazuma will be...

Okay...

Wh-What does this mean?

We stayed behind despite what we actually wanted to do, so you'd better thank us.

I said stop trying to make us feel like we owe you.

Is it good?

Yup.

Senpai! News! News!

We overheard an unbelievable thing!

Hey, we have casualties here, so quiet down a bit!

Are you one to talk?

But it's big news!

We thought we had to let you know first.

What is it?

You see, ...-san and ...ko.

Eh?!

Touko-san and...

Yeah, yeah.

...That Inquirer?

Yeah, yeah.

See, see, isn't it big news?

Looks like we need to find out the truth behind it.

Yeah, but we can't move.

M-Me?

Good job.

Here, an entrance approval form.

Oh, you're the Mikuriyas' daughter.

I'm always in your parents' care.

Oh no, thank you.

So, it's okay if we go in?

Oh, please go right ahead. Enjoy your stay.

Thank you very much.

Well, let's go.

What's up with that? It's so different from when it was me.

Hey, haven't I seen you somewhe-

N-Nope, never.

I'm sure you're mistaking me for some model or another.

Excuse me.

Ran-chan.

Long time no see.

Dear, Ran's here.

Oh, yeah, I'm almost done.

W-Wow Ran, you've become much more beautiful since I last saw you.

How is Mother doing?

Grandma's doing just fine.

Here, from the Commander.

Ah, thanks.

But... I'm glad to see you doing well.

Although it is our job, I'm sorry we can't be with you.

Come now, you say that every time we see each other.

I'm fine; I'm having a good time with Grandma and everyone else at the base.

And these ladies are?

They gave me a ride from Shimojijima.

They both work at the base and live at our place.

I see.

Then you must be colleagues of Iwasaki-kun.

Oh, so you must be Karin-chan's...

Yes, we're all being cared for at Kouchin.

Is Karin-chan doing well?

Yes, although it worries us how much she eats...

But, we're a team of four.

I see; what a relief.

Um...

Do you two know about Karin, as well?

Yes. Before she met with you all, she was here, as well.

B-By the way, how's Mother doing?

She's tougher than men, so isn't she pushing you around?

N-Not exactly...

Rather than that, why did you need to call me?

She is...

...The daughter of former Comander Oozora.

Her name is Rei.

Which means she's Sako-san's daughter, right?

So, Miharu-san did give birth after all.

So you do know the story about the space creatures?

I see.

In that case, we'd better explain things.

Like Karin-chan was, she is being isolated as a sample of an infected body.

What?

I'm sure you know already, but the parasites come attached to the meteorites that fall to Earth.

Ever since my parents and Commander Reynold first found them,

the Cosmic Emergency Management Agency has been divided into two factions:

one that wishes to protect the Earth from meteorites,

and one that wishes to utilize the creatures for humanity's future.

"Utilize"?

After years of research, the data shows the brain becomes more active.

However, there is no proof any of this is beneficial to humanity.

In order to determine that, we are doing research away from our daughter.

Ran?

Ran! What are you doing?!

Ran-san?

Don't worry; I'm your older sister.

From now on, I'll always be with you.

Whatever happens, I will definitely protect you.

God, why do we have to do this?

Ah, hey, Karin!

A movie right off the bat?

I didn't expect to use money...

Ora! Ora! My scream is long!

Yeah! Evil aliens can all die!

Not so fast, you two.

There they are.

Over there.

We've been surrounded.

Wait.

Boss, what should we do?

We're in trouble...

If that's the case, I'll go!

Take that! How about it?!

God, what a noisy movie.

I can't tell what they're talking about at all with all this.

Right, Karin?

Did you say something?

So, all we found out was that they watched a movie together.

What's the point of investigating that?

Then why don't you do it yourself?!

What do you want me to do in this?

Think of what you can do!

Kikuhara, did you notice anything?

You want to be in my place, then?

No thank you. Where's your wallet? Is it here? Or here?

The main character was annoying.

Hey, what are you doing?

Wh-What do you mean by that?

Pay me back for the movie.

You can just feel that he was overloaded.

It was your request.

He failed in whatever he tried and was ultimately the weakest person.

So you can make that kind of harsh comment with your cute mask on.

What happened to him?

Who knows?

Man, I spent too much time!

Ayamo, wait up.

Excuse me.

Is something wrong, Sayaka-kun?

Ah, well...

Sorry I'm late.

Hi, Touko-kun. I'm sorry for the awkward request I asked of you.

No problem. I received the document you were asking for from Tsukino-san.

Right, I haven't told you yet, have I?

The thing is, Tsukino-kun said there's some data he wants to show us...

...regarding the recent data altering incident.

However it's him, so I had Touko-kun go instead of me.

Th-Then the secret rendezvous between Mukai-san and Tsukino-san from the intelligence department was...

Secret rendezvous? Oh please, Vice-Commander.

Was it a bad idea?

N-Not at all.

I see; I completely thought...

Thought what?

Um, since it's him, I thought I had to carefully take some actions.

He is a hard person to start talking to, but once you get to know him, he's an entertaining person.

Would you like to meet him, too, Vice-Commander?

One day...

Emergency call from Headquarters.

They've identified today's comet as a cluster-type.

After reestimating the trajectory, our base will be within the intercept area.

Who's on the standby shift now?

The pairs of Iwasaki-Fujitani and Nakamura-Kikuhara.

Then call them immediately.

Roger. We will enter interception status within one hour.

I'm done.

Wow, amazing.

You're such a good girl, being able to do everything.

Eh?! Are you sure we can take the lead craft?

It's a good opportunity.

Don't worry; even if you miss, we'll back you up.

We're fine. We'll fill in while Mikaze and Shizuha aren't here.

I'm so envious.

I wanted to go up with Instructor Iwasaki.

When will we be able to go on a mission?

Just you wait, meteor!

One day, we'll be there to shoot you down.

I see; you two came here before to save Karin-chan.

It surprised me how much more security there was the deeper down we went.

It made me excited that much more.

This facility contains biohazard material, so it's only natural.

There is the possibility of getting infected by other viruses, so don't get carried away.

See, what did I tell you?

Yes, sorry.

That's right, former Commander Oozara Miharu.

Before we got here, the people here forced her to become a research sample despite her pregnancy.

What?

Has Miharu-san ever met Rei-chan?

No... Ever since you all put her in the capsule, she's been sleeping like that.

When her long-separated daughter is right by her...

That is exactly why we're working hard.

But, maybe we, who left Ran alone, don't have the right to say that.

We'll help, too; if there's anything we can do, please let us know.

I see why Mother likes you all.

Then will you help me prepare dinner?

Yes. I'm not good at cooking, but I'll try.

She's really bad at it, so I'll do it.

Hey, Shizuha!

Okay, then I'll ask both of you to.

Leave it right to me.

The target has altered its path.

It's entering the intercept area of Sashiba-11 and Sashiba-22.

Sashiba-11, Sashiba-22, permission to fire missiles granted.

Sashiba-11, roger.

Sashiba-22, roger.

Target in sight.

Time to missile launch: 5 seconds.

4...

3...

Oh, Ayamo!

Leave it to me.

Fox one!

Don't worry; you're going on a trip with me for a while.

I'm sure it'll be fun.

We must continue the research, and if we disappear, the Instigators will find it suspicious.

I'm sorry for the dangerous mission, but please take those two to Shimojijima.

Please leave it to us!

We will protect Ran-san and Rei-chan.

I'm counting on you.

This is bad.

According to this observation data,

in the next week or two, groups of comets will pass by Earth after passing the Sun.

In this case, the distortion caused by the Sun will be great, making a clear observation difficult.

Having them approach with the Sun behind them is troublesome.

If all the comets arrive on the estimated course, the usual intercept system won't be able to cope with it.

That's if this data is not modified.

Looks like we need to confirm it with data from another source.

I can do that.

Oh no!

It's an email from Lud-san again.

He says he wants to invite me to his homeland.

Oh, so many love calls and presents...

And he sends them multiple times a day.

Any woman not as devoted as I would switch over right away!

Oh that right. I promised to eat dinner with Sako-san at Kouchin.

Ah, he ran away again!

We've got to teach him a lesson.

Hey, Sayaka-chan, why not throw those presents away and accept this instead?

Don't call me by my first name!

I won't give it to you.

Thank you.

What do you think they're doing?

They're probably relaxing over there.

Man, I wanted to show them today's interception.

Really.

No way.

It's been a while.

You guys...

Hey.

Wow, not only to Mikaze-chan and Shizuha-chan, but we can even be bodyguards to Ran-san.

Man, I can die any time now.

Don't jinx us!

We were wondering where you've been lately.

Where were you guys all this time?

Unfortunately, we can't tell you that.

If we must say, right now, we're the agents who protect Earth.

"Agents"?

Right...

Ran-san, please.

You can throw the luggage this way.

Well Ran-san, let's go.

Yes.

Crap, I forgot to take the picture!

It's a promise with Sako-san. I'll be right back, so hold on a second.

Mikaze!

Geez.

And I came without thinking, but maybe I should have had Shizuha come with me.

Oh, it's me.

I should just take the picture and go back.

It was here, right?

Honestly, it's kind of like a haunted house.

Geez, that Mikaze... What's taking her so long?
