Chapter 88

23

Kusunoki: A-Team, B-Team!
Kusunoki: Please respond!!
Kusunoki: What happened!? Respond...

Fujimaru: The images...!!
Title: File 88 Retreat or Advance?

24

Sakaki: Damn it!!
Sakaki: Another empty room...!!
Kusunoki: Commander Sakaki!!
Kusunoki: Minami-san!
Minami: Kusunoki!
Minami: You were supposed to stand guard in the helicopter...
Kusunoki: You're all right! Thank god...!!
Kusunoki: What's the situation!?

25

Minami: B-Team went in first, so they're all injured to various degrees...
Minami: A-Team tried to go in through the window.

Minami: One of them...
Minami: was hit by the blast...

Minami: and fell...

Kusunoki: A bomb...
Kusunoki: So it was a trap?
Kusunoki: So our source of information was lying...?

Minami: Possibly.
Sakaki: Or...
Sakaki: Our information is still being leaked from somewhere and they ran...!!

26

SFX (between Minami and Sakaki in 2nd panel): *crash*
SFX: *slide*

Sakaki: Hey!!
Sakaki: Don't touch anything!!
Sakaki: We don't know what's in here!!
Minami: Fujimaru...!!

Minami: What are you doing!?
Minami: That can't be functional after what happened...

Fujimaru: The hard drive...If the hard drive is relatively undamaged...
Fujimaru: we may be able to restore the data that was on it!

27

Fujimaru: If we can't...
Fujimaru: All of this...
Fujimaru: All of this will be...!!

Sakaki: Everyone who isn't helping the injured!
Sakaki: No matter how small it is, find anything related to the enemy!!
Sakaki: We have to find something!!
Men: Roger!!

Kirishima: They used what we got Munakata to tell us against us...!!
Kirishima: Damn it!
Yajima: If our information is being leaked...
Yajima: We should assume that they know we know about the neutron bomb as well.

28

Yajima: Our only advantage is gone...
Sawakita: So it seems.
Sawakita: There are 3 with serious injuries, 4 with light injuries, and 1 dead...

Sawakita: We should have done some more reconnaissance.
Sawakita: We...
Sawakita: need to move a little more carefully.

Sawakita: What should we do, Kirishima-san?
Sawakita: We can always declare a state of emergency in the city and advise that the people evacuate...
Kirishima: Chief Sonoma and Minister Kujou think that, if we give out too much information, there's a chance the enemy will attack indiscriminately.

Sawakita: Yes. If the enemy ends up hitting the nuclear button, it'll all be over in an instant...
SFX: Vvvv
SFX: Vvvv
Sawakita: Yes, this is the "Third-i" control room.

Sawakita: Kirishima-san!
Sawakita: Haruka-chan and the others were...

29

SFX: Rinnng
SFX: Rinnng
Fujimaru: Haruka?
Fujimaru: Sorry, but I'm a bit...

Maya: Don't say anything unnecessary.
Maya: Don't make anyone around you suspect anything.

Fujimaru: Orihara...Maya!??

Fujimaru: Why...?
Fujimaru: This is from Haruka's phone...
Fujimaru: I-I guess I have no choice...
Fujimaru: What is it, Haruka?

Maya: Heh heh.
Maya: Good boy.
Maya: It feels like it's been a while since we last talked.

30

Maya: By the way...
Maya: I'm with Haruka-chan right now.

Maya: I was told to do something to her.

Maya: I was told...
Maya: to...
Maya: kill her.

Maya: But...it looks like you already know...
Maya: about the neutron bomb.

Fujimaru: Th-then Haruka doesn't matter, right!?
Fujimaru: What do you want!?
Fujimaru: Do you want me to do something again!?

31

Maya: Actually...
Maya: We want you to "do nothing".

Maya: Leave Tokyo and don't contact anyone for a while.

Fujimaru: Are you telling me to run away by myself!?
Maya: Oh...
Maya: You can take your beloved father and precious friends with you.

Fujimaru: D...
Fujimaru: Don't screw with me...
Maya: I'm quite serious about this.

Maya: You've been our greatest hindrance so far...
Maya: But, out of respect for what you've done so far, we will save your life as a youth who will bear the burden of this country's "Future Revival" after it is temporarily destroyed.
Maya: That's what our new leader "K" thinks we should do.

32

Maya: So just accept it.
Small text in the right of Maya's bubble: Hee hee
Fujimaru: And if I don't?

Maya: You'll have to say goodbye to your cute little sister.
Maya: And you'll never see her again.
Maya: Ever...

Fujimaru: Kh...
Maya: We'll wait until 9 tomorrow morning.
Maya: Don't tell "Third-i" anything and leave with as little luggage as possible.

Maya: We can see everything you do.
Maya: So you can't fool us.

33

SFX: Doo
SFX: Doo
SFX: Doo

Minami: Was that from Kirishima-san?
Fujimaru: ...Uh...

Minami: I just received word from HQ.
Minami: Your sister was kidnapped again?

Fujimaru: Yes.

Fujimaru: By Orihara...Maya.

Fujimaru: She told me to go into hiding without telling "Third-i" anything.

34

Minami: Can I assume from the fact that you're telling me that...
Minami: that you don't intend to do as she says?
Fujimaru: The time limit is 9 tomorrow morning.

Fujimaru: I have until then to rescue Haruka...!!
Fujimaru: Otherwise...
Fujimaru: I have to obey...!!

Minami: Do you really think you can rescue her on your own?

Fujimaru: But if "Third-i" moves...
Fujimaru: and the information is leaked to the enemy again...
Minami: What if...
Minami: it's just me and Kanou-san?

Minami: Can you...
Minami: trust us?

Fujimaru: Is it...
Fujimaru: okay for you to help me!?

Minami: Without you, we'll be at a serious disadvantage.
Minami: We'll...
Minami: pull this off...!!

35

Minami: But...what should we do?
Minami: If only we had some sort of clue...

Fujimaru: This is...!!

Kanou: Understood.

Kanou: I have something I need to do.
Kanou: I'll have to take a break from keeping watch over you.
Sasha: I see.
Sasha: Where are you...?

Sasha: No comment, huh?
Sasha: I guess that makes two of us.

36

Sasha (The Japanese under the Russian): Good luck.

37

Kanou: You, too.

Fujimaru: we might be able to turn this horrible situation into the ultimate opportunity!!
