Chapter Four
The Earth in Peril[15]

132)
1: Ehhh?!
2: The earth will end in three years?!

133)
1: That's right.
2: I will now show you proof.
3: ka-chik
4: snap

134)
1: Please look at the statistical graph that appears in this holograph.
2: This was compiled using the data you all brought me before the meeting.
3: Now watch.
4: ka-chik

135)
1: Those lines represent the data.
2: And at this point,
3: half of them are all overlapping at a certain point.

136)
1: This represents the happiest moment in time for the human race.
2: But then, mysteriously enough,
3: the graph suddenly goes up.
4: This aggregation substantiates the theory of birthing creatures.
5: It rises higher and higher.
6: We will have to enlarge the holograph until it reaches the ceiling.
7: ka-chik
8: Now we are arrive at present day. At this point, however,

137)
1: the graph suddenly drops.
2: And,
3: all the lines miraculously converge at one point!!!
4: This is what will happen three years later!!

138)
1: Then they all plummet down.
2: And nothing remains.

139)
1: Again, this was compiled using all the data all over the earth.
2: The data that you all worked yourselves to death over in order to collect!!

140)
1: ...we wondered if there was any other possible outcome, so we tried calculating for any other kind of possibility.
2: However, we could find no alternative...
3: By the earth ending, do you mean that the environment will be completely destroyed?!
4: Exactly!!

141)
1: I don't know the truth of things, but it looks like the environment will all be converted to something else not fit for humans to live on.
2: As a result, at this meeting I would like to propose an escape to outer space!!
3: Ehhh!?
4: To outer space?!
5: That's right.
6: But only for the children.

142)
1: O-only the children?!
2: Yes, only them...
3: You should understand why. Taking every human being would be impossible...
4: That is why we have to choose children.

143)
1: CHOOSING CHILDREN
2: In other words, we will only put on children who pass a certain requirement?
3: Yes.
4: Of course, Tarou will be able to ride regardless.
5: All of the children of world leaders will be able to escape. And Tarou, as you know, is one of the thirty smartest children in our country.
6: All the other world leaders' children should be similar...

144)
1: The problem is how to go about doing this without letting the world know!!
2: That's right, no matter how we try to explain it, there's no way everyone would understand.
3: And the parents of children who are not selected would not forgive it.
4: Didn't President Young have any response to that?

145)
1: He made a bitter expression from start to finish, but never objected to anything. It's understandable, having been cornered like this.
2: And so, as the worst conference in all of history continued, an unexpected thing happened.
3: And that would be...?
4: Repentance!!

146)
1: REPENTANCE
2: Repentance?!
3: Yes. Everyone began repenting all at once...
4: I am President Young from America. Could it be America's fault that things have turned out this way...?
