1: Surprised?
2(2b): Looks like you have experience riding that thing from your time in , Sagara Sousuke.
3: ...so you know...
4: grip

121)
1: ...I've got it!!
2: is behind these guys!!
3: Of course, considering you put on such a flashy show without even using a fake name.
4: We could have taken you out in the city, but we thought we might as well have you fight with an M9 instead.
sfx: rumble
5: There's absolutely no hope for you to win, though.
6: in the city...?
7: That means the chief didn't know about my identity when he had me behind bars...in that case...

122)
1: Within , this chief is a
2: small fry.
3: But after he released me, he must have got in touch with someone close to the organization.
4: There is a possibility that they may still be close to the chief...
5: ...I bet your guests tonight must be happy...
6: Oh yes. They want you to give it your all.
7: However...if you'd like to tell us about your background connections here, then I wouldn't mind telling the M9 pilot to use some discretion?

123)
1: Unfortunately for you, I'm here alone.
2: Then die.
3: bzzz...
4: boom
5: blamblamblam

124)
sfx: blamblamblam
1: Left evasion!!
sfx: gyun
2-4: blam
5: gh...
6: Late M9 mechanics theory talks about perserving the best possible position for firing...

125)
sfx: ssh
1: You think I'll let you do that...?!
2: gssh
3: blamblamblam

126)
1-3: blam
4: A gunfight will be too hard...
5: ga-chak
6: But if I keep putting pressure on him like this...
7: blamblamblam
8: pow
9: blamblam

127)
1-3: beeeeep
4(2b): Hydraulics dropping in left arm. No inflammation. Restraining hydraulics...was I wounded anywhere else?
5-8: beep
sfx: zsh
9: How much more can I move...?
10(2b): 120 seconds before movement becomes impossible...that's a horrible number.
11: At the longest, 15 minutes...and at the shortest, 8, but that will probably be impossible.
12: I'll have to search out that M9's weak point during that timeframe...

128)
1: 2km south from the site
sfx: boom
2: It's begun.
3: Dammit! We can't tell anything about what's going on!
4: Not unless we get closer.
5: I don't wanna get hit by a stray bullet and die, though!
6(2b): ...I have a bad feeling about this. This mood is kinda...dangerous.

129)
1(2b): Sousuke will be fine. You know how skilled he is, right?
2: No, I'm talking about...
3: Yes, chief.
4: The woman?
5(2b): Understood. We'll take care of it.
6: ...this is...
7: Right? This feeling...
8: We're moving. The woman will follow.
sfx: chak!
9: All others will head over there.

130)
1: Hurry it up!!
2: Ehh?! Hey, hold on a...
3: Nami...!!
4(2b): Don't worry, everyone!! I'll contact you later--...
5: Move on already!!
6: chak
sffx: slam

131)
sfx: vrooooom
1(2b): Northweast from the ruins, 2km into the mountains: The "Grandstand"
2(2b): That's right, take out the men ASAP. Then bring the woman to the usual place.
3: I don't intend to tell you how to do your job...but I don't like this.
sfx: pop...
4: flick
5: I find it rather amusing myself.
6: Well, whatever. More importantly, about Sagara...
7: Do you know him personally?
8: Not exactly. I've only met him for a few minutes.
9: He just looked like a normal boy soldier to me...

132)
1: Mr. Kurama.
2: Kids like him usually work for elite teams at ,
3: and moreover, have apparently dealt with many times.
4: ...Gaurun?
5: Who is that?
6: You don't know him?
7: No, sir.

133)
1: I see...
2: The country sure is peaceful...
3: He really is good.
4: Riding in that white thing with his ability really does make him rather unmanageable.
5: Hahaha! He may be white, but a is still a .
6(2b): It's not about the white paint...bah, nevermind. More importantly, does the pilot of that M9 know about Sagara?
7: No, I haven't told him anything special...

134)
1: Then that M9 might get sacked.
2: ...impossible.
3: But he's up against an old model !
4: And it's not like telling him would change anything.
5: ...I wonder.
6: I don't blame the chief for his confidence. No matter how well it fights, a could never beat out an M9.
7(2b): How unfortunate for you, Sagara Sousuke. You came rather far...but you should still feel accomplished.

135)
1: A farm in the Munamera area
2: Get out.
3: screech
sfx: vrooom...
4: Eh...already?
5: Aren't we going back to Namsac?
6: Uwahh! Is this a pig sty?!
7: Shut up and get inside!!
8: Line up in front of that machine.
9: Isn't that a meat grinder to make the pigs' feed?
10: splurt
sfx: rattle rattle
11: Yeah...
12: It can't be...

136)
1: Shut up and turn into pig food, nice and easy.
2: Hiiee...
3: No way...
4: Please, sto...
5: Line up!
6: rattle
7: Don't waste anymore of our time.
8: P-please, save us!!
9: I feel bad for you, but you just happened to have bad luck.
10: Now give up and line up.

137)
1: Wait a moment.
2: There's no need for that.

138)
1: Master Lemon...?
2: Weren't you in prison...?
3: I don't know what you think you're up to, but don't try anything funny!!
4: chak
5: You wanna turn into pig food too?!
6: No thanks.

sfx: craaash

140)
1: Wha...
2(2b): What are these...guy
sfx: bambambambam
3: Hiiee...
sfx: splat

141)
1: H...heelp...
2(2b): It's alright, everyone, it's alright.
3: That was a close one, Monsieur.
4: Yeah...
5: What is all this, Master Lemon?
6: Well, I'll put it simply.
7: I lied about being a journalist.

142)
1(2b): These are my teammates. I can't tell you the details, though.
2: More importantly--...
3(2b): It looks like Sousuke's drawing closer to his goal. Probably the same goal as mine.
sfx: boom

143)
sfx: boom
sfx: blamblamblam
1: klik
2: ECS...
3: Tch...
4: He's going to turn it off?!

1: bam
sfx: gashun
2: ga-chak

145)
1: This is the last magazine. All I have left are the two HEAT Hammers now.
2: The hydraulics in my left arm will probably last another minute...
3: ...should I risk it?
4: chak
sfx: blamblamblam

146)
sfx: rumble
1: One bullet left...
2: The effectiveness of ECS should be lowered in this desert.
3: ...bring it on!!

sfx: boom
sfx: bang
1: Shutting off his ECS was a good decision.
sfx: boom
2: But...
3: ga-chink

148)
sfx: gah!
sfx: bnnn...
1: This plan should be beyond his expectations!!

149)
sfx: booooong
sfx: rumble

150)
sfx: rumble
1: Wh-what's happening?!
2: Hmph...

151)
1(2b): ...not bad, Sagara. He invited in the M9 and then destroyed the temple.
2: But that's suicidal...
3: No...Sagara knows well about the special characteristics of the .
4: It will be difficult for an M9 to support several tons of rubble with its electrical drive.
sfx: clutter...
5: However...

152)
sfx: rumble
1: The 's simple hydraulics drive gives it the greatest advantage in these kind of situations.
2: ...no problem.

153)
sfx: gashun
sfx: boom!

154)
1: ...damn. He beat us.
sfx: slump
2(2b): ...well? Now what are you going to do?
3: He knows about us now.
4: And he's fully ready to come up and put the screws on you.

157)
1:
Sorry to keep you waiting! Vol. 7 of FMPS is finally here. We're starting on a new series no with a bit of a special construction. The normal Mithril members such as Tessa, Mao, and Kurtz are not here, and instead the stage is set in the town of Namsac in Southeast Asia, which makes for a miniature garden-like image. Will the character popularity contest be OK without Tessa?! I was a bit worried, but it looks like Nami, our heroine this time around, is going to work hard for us (LOL).

1: In the marketplace
2: Do they sell what Nami wants here?
3: Wow...are these all AS parts?
4: Yeah.
5: How surprising...
6: When I was a mercenary 2~3 years ago, there was no place with such a selection of AS parts, and certainly not at such low prices.

83)
1: This world is a strange place.
2: True, compared to the history of other weaponry, the speed of AS evolution is abnormal.
3: Why do they need to hurry so much?
4: It's like...some exists.
5: click
6: ...I won't ask you to stop, but don't you think you're being a bit too rude?
7: Sorry, that expression on your face just now summoned up the artist within me.

84)
1: The truth is...
2: I'm interested in your as well.
3: As a photographer, your fighting seems more to me like than it does .
4: You're different from the other challengers in the .
5: It's like...you're always fighting for some far-off goal you have your eyes focused on. That's why your fighting looks so masterful.
6: ...I see.

85)
1: I thought he was just some laid-back writer, but it looks like that's not the whole of it.
2: ...you may be right.
3: This is the only form of self-expression that I'm good at.
4: That's right. I'm a human who can only express himself in battle.
5: That's why she...
6: At that moment...

86)
1: Ah...sorry, I didn't mean anything that deep by it...
sfx: screeech
2: ...did something happen nearby?
3: Freeze, you two!!
sfx: slam slam

87)
sfx: klikklikklik
1: Slowly raise both hands and put them behind your heads!!
2: H...hold on a minute!! This has to be some mistake...
3: It doesn't seem so.
4: We should do what they tell us, Lemon.
5-6: stomp
7: We received a report that two foreigners have been committing thefts around her.
8: stomp

88)
1: According to a certain source...
2: Sagara Sousuke.
3: The next day, at the Namsac Police Dept.
4(2b): This is horrible...I think something's going to happen to my head...
5(2b): Being shut up in this dirty, damp cell. And this smell...I can't stand it any longer...
6: Hey, foreigners!
7: Haaah! Finally...
8: screech
9: Get out.

89)
1: Only Sagara Sousuke.
2: S-Sousuke...
3: Don't worry, Lemon. I'll get you out of here.
4: Interrogation Room
5: Sit!!
sfx: gashan

90)
1: Tooths and nails from the previous guests, huh?
2(2b): The wall is painted with blood...looks like this is how the locals "interrogate" their criminals around here.
3: But that's OK.
4: That's the kind of place this is. I shouldn't even be here in the first place.
5: My life in Tokyo, as well as my life here with Nami has dulled me.
6: What's wrong?
7: Cat got your tongue?
8: For the sake of my goal, I must revert to a weapon.

91)
sfx: flinch
1: Sharper, colder...
2: I must hone my nerves.
3: ka-chak
4: Chief!
5: So this man is the chief...
6: You are currently wanted for--...
7(2b): Robbery, assault, attempted murder, extortion, perjury, and illegal immigration, which should end you up with a sentence of about 50 years. Any requests?

92)
1: How about "violence toward a police officer?"
2: I can take care of that right now if you'd like.
3: Hmph!
sfx: nod
sfx: wham!!
4: Seems like you don't understand.
5: gh...
6(2b): This is no mere interrogation room. It is both a courtroom, and an execution chamber.
7: I am the inspector, the judge, and the executor.

93)
1: So, what do you want?
2: Sharp boy.
3: It's about the .
4: Your little team is winning too much.
5: And to , that is a problem.
6: The star teams in the must win a balanced manner, so that the realm of the champion can be properly managed.
7: With that, the spectators will not grow tired of their sport, and will continue to receive our great profits.
8: ?
9: A group of faces flocking to money comes to mind.
10: That makes things quicker.

94)
1(2b): Just like with Dao's team, it is necessary to strike up a mutual understanding and things.
2: ...he means fix the matches.
3: And if I refuse, I get 50 years?
4(2b): Yes, and that French man, too. Oh, and that woman who owns the AS, as well.
5: Killing these guys with my handcuffs on, rescuing Lemon, and letting Nami get away is possible.
6: jingle...
7: It'll be absolutely no problem.

95)
1: If it's you want, then I'll assist you.
2: But there will be no point in running.
3: However, I have a request.
4: Hoh...?
5: A .
6: smirk
7: ...you're an interesting man, Sagara Sousuke.

96)
1: Lemon's hotel
2: ...--so they want you to fix the match?
3(2b): Yeah. They only let me go, and kept Lemon as a hostage. The chief isn't concerned just with Lemon, but you as well...
4: That's alright.
5: ...aren't you angry?
6: Nah. I never thought the gambling in this town was clean.
7: That's all? Is there anything else?
8: ...no, there is one more thing.

97)
1: I'm going to enter in a .
2: ...huh?
3: Do...you know what that really means?
4(2b): Yeah. I've heard enough from the rumors.
5(2b): Those are secret battles for VIPs who want to see real deathmatches. No pilots ever want to enter something like that. It doesn't matter how many lives you think you have!
6: I mean...
7: You're allowed to use real bullets and fight seriously.

98)
1: The firepower control system in that machine has been dead since the moment I picked it up! Entering a dark battle with that is like walking right into death!!
2: But the reward money is unbelievable.
3: But half of the entrants due in a few months.
4: If you want to die, fine, but I don't want my AS crushed to pieces!
5: Should I tell her the truth...?
6: That I was the one who asked to enter the ...
7: No, I have no choice but to make it seem like this is in order to save Lemon, just like the match fixing..that'll be more convincing...

99)
1: I don't want to die...
2: without knowing anything!!
3(2b): Pathetic...I was so close to becoming a desensitized weapon only half a day ago. Is this going to help me complete my mission?
4: Is this simply about money?
5: Are we of the kind of relationship where we have to choose our words?

100)
1: I at least thought we were friends by now.
2: Th...
3: Ridiculous. A "weapon?" "Mission complete?" It's all bullshit.
4: That's...
5: I was proven to be a human full of contradictions in that town, wasn't I?

101)
1(2b): I'll have to tell her everything, and then try to get her to agree. And if she doesn't, then I'll have to deal with it somehow.
2: ...alright.
3: Please listen.
4: I volunteered to enter the .
5(2b): Entering your team is a way for me to get closer to the shadowy figures controlling the .
6: You're...using us...?

102)
1: Yeah...
2: But for what purpose?
3: A certain organization is involved with that .
4: grip...
5: They've been orchestrating disputes all over the world and selling weapons to military-industrial complexes and terrorist organizations.
6: I'm pursuing that organization: .
7: I was a member of a secret mercenary squad known as , which was intent on putting out the coals that planned to use to incite war.
8: That's where you piloted an AS?
9: Yes, I rode in a 3rd-generation, state-of-the-art AS.

103)
1: Then...you came here on a mission from ?
2: No...
3: was obliterated by .
4: This is a personal mission of mine.
5: S...seriously?

104)
1: I understand that it's dangerous, but I need your hel...
sfx: splash
2: Get out.
3(2b): I'm not kidding!! You think I'm gonna let you destroy my precious AS?!
4: If you want to war, then go and do it by yourself!!
5-8: haa
9: ...thank you for everything.
10: ka-chak

105)
1: slam
2: ...I shouldn't have told her.
3(2b): Getting an AS together without any help...will be impossible. With Rick dead, I have no other acquaintances in this town.
4: If I miss this chance, then I'll be left without any other leads to ...
sfx: ga-chak
5: ...you really need my help, no matter what?

106)
1: Affirmative.
2(2b): Fine. I'll help you a little then.
3: Really?
4(2b): I can't leave Master Lemon alone like that. But unless my entire team agrees, then the answer is still no.
5: Thank you.

107)
1: the next day
2: Phew, looks like I managed to talk them into it.
sfx: gohhn
3: Of course, I couldn't tell them about that stuff.
4: Thinking of their safety, it's better that they don't know.
sfx: knock knock
5: Is the team owner here?
6: That would be me.
7: You have a telegram from the chief of police.
8: Bring the AS to the church ruins in North Munamera at 9 PM on Saturday.
9: Munamera?
10: It's a small farm town in the mountains 20km north of Namsac.

108)
1: So we have until Saturday night...
2: I wonder if that firepower control system will make it in time...
3: Oh, I rewrote that with some homemade software this morning.
4: ...what?
5(2b): It only took you the morning? Work like that takes even the most skilled of technicians days to complete.
6(2b): Eh, it was nothing. As long as I fiddle around with it, I pretty much get it.
7: Speaking of which, who did you learn AS mechanics from?
8(2b): Eh? No one.
9: ...there is no way a girl like this without any engineering experience could possibly understand the system this much.
10: Could it be...

109)
1: She's...also one?
2(2b): No, a coincidence like that could never happen. We're talking one in a million here. There's no way I would just randomly meet up with one in a place like this...
3: What are you standing around for?!
4: U-uhh...
5: I need to worry about fixing up the AS now.
6: Hurry up and take off that plug.
7: I'll have a long talk with her after all this is over.

110)
1: 9 PM, Saturday -- Munamera Church Ruins
2: Sagara Sousuke. You will get in your machine here and then move 2km northwest to the site.
3: That will be the this time around.
4: All others will wait here.
5: Huh?!
6(2b): If we're this far away, then we won't even be able to hear the wireless!! Just what...
7: Er, I mean, wonderful orders, sir...
8: chak
9: That's more like it, girl.
10: Will you be watching from somewhere?
11: Yes, there is a place set up, but it's not for you to know about.
12: Oh. Well, be careful of stray bullets, then.

111)
1: I'm off now.
2: Be careful!!
3: Yeah, don't worry.
4: I'm actually worried about the machine, though.
5: Oh.
6: But...
7: don't overdo it, okay?
8: Come back sound in wind and limb!!

112)
1: Would it be bad to get out right now and go embrace her?
2: Maybe I should just throw it all away and live happily with Nami in Namsac?
3: ...ridiculous...
4: I will bring Chidori back.
sfx: gashun
5: That's all I need to think about.

113)
sfx: gashun
1: Sousuke...
2: Temple Ruins
3: Welcome to the true , .
4: Those items sitting there will be your weapons.

114)
1: A BK-540 with two magazines, and two HEAT Hammers.
2: So where's my opponent tonight?
3: gsh
4: What are you talking about? Right in front of you.
5: jjjj...

115)
sfx: kweeeen
1: boom
2: Impossible...I thought I'd be facing a tough enemy, but

116)
1: to think it'd be an M9...they really have no mercy.

1(2b): Let's drink up, everyone!! Tonight everything's on us!!
2: The people who bet on Dao are pissed, though!!
3: There are even some people saying they're gonna kill him. What a nice sound!!

47)
1: Having fun?
2: Affirmative.
3: That's some weird English.
4: Where'd you learn to be a pilot?
5(2b): Afghan. It was 6-7 years ago when I first stepped into one of these first generation ASes, the Savage.
6: Then came the middle-generation Savage, Mistral, Cyclone, Bushnel, Gernsback...
7: Gernsback? Are you talking about the M9?
8: ...that was a lie. Forget it.

48)
1(2b): How did you get that AS? Doesn't seem like it'd be easy to find something like that in a town like this...
2: I found it. Two years ago.
3: Outside my hometown.
4: The people who burned down half of my village left that behind.
5: A single machine was left over an irrigation channel.
6: A war?
7(2b): Yes. Government and anti-government troops kept coming in and out of the village, trampling everything.

49)
1: I want to rebuild that village.
2: But for that, I need money, and lots of it.
3: You probably understood in today's fight, but one can make a lot of money in the .
4: The survivors of the village were against it, but isn't this the only way?
5: I see.
6: If we restore the ruined fields and roads with the money, people are sure to return.
7: My goal now is to rebuild the only school in the entire village, the one I went to.
8: The nice people who taught there are all dead now...but it was a good school.

50)
1: A good school, huh...?
2: Nami-saaan! How come you have that robot?!
3: Oh, by the way, this is an interview! For my job!
4(2b): Oh, well I just told Sagara the whole story now. Ask him.
5: Okie-dokieee!
6(2b): Ah! Before that, I gotta ask about your three sizes!
7: smirk!
8(2b): Alright, monsieur!! Go ahead and ask!! Or even better, measure them yourself!!
9: Hey, watch it! Where are you putting your hands!!
10: Uhyaaah!!

51)
1: OK, I'll see monsieur back to his hotel.
2(2b): Thanks, Ashe. How about you, Sousuke?
3: My place is over there.
4(2b): I'm going in the same direction. Wanna go back together?
5: No problem.
6(2b): We have no more matches this week, but we'll be busy with maintenance and buying parts tomorrow, so be prepared.
7: Understood.
8: bsh
9: Alright, goodnight then.
10: Sagara Sousuke...
11: What a weirdo.

4: Where are you hiding it?
5(2b): Here? Mmm...or maybe here...

2: Let me say something.
3(2b): Every time you use a dirty word like "sore loser" or "bastard," I'm gonna hit you. And even if you decide to use different vocabulary, I'll still slap you whenever I feel like it.
4: These are the rules. Got it?
5: Hie...
6: I'm gonna make you my woman. Use drugs or whatever you want.
7: The hell you will!! I'd rather die...
sfx: slap

55)
1: Didn't I just tell you the rules?
2(2b): Our ride's here. Get in.
3: Oh, by the way, I sent another guy after that kid on your team who piloted the AS.
4: I didn't tell him anything, but...
5: These days, it's no surprised to find stupid men dead in the toilets of the cheap inns around here.
6: Bastard!! All he did was enter the competition...
7(2b): And that's just it. You see what he did to me? He should be kissing the bathroom floor about now.
8: Are you talking about me?

56)
1: Your name is Dao, isn't it?
2: Your friend is sleeping on the bathroom floor giving it a kiss right now.

57)
1: Sousuke...!!
2: You came here to negotiate? You should have run away.
3: I'm afraid I can't do that, since Nami is my boss.
4: Let's get him.
5: Geez...my first day, and I'm already extremely busy.
sfx: dash
6: Go to Hell!!

58)
1: slash
2: gsh
sfx: thwomp

59)
1(2b): I wouldn't move if I were you. I avoided your respiratory tract, nerves, and cartoid arteries when I stabbed you.
2: Move even a little, and...
3: Hie...
4(2b): Forget about her. And never lay another hand on my team.
5: Fine...we won't do anything else...
6: You win.
7: Just let Dao go.

60)
1: ssh...
2: Go.
3: Kuh...
4: Wh...who the hell are you...
5: What a creepy guy...
sfx: vroooom
6: Why did you...
7: I guess I should have killed him after all.
8: It doesn't seem like they're going to withdraw with just that.

61)
1(2b): Who knows. They're stupid, but they well understood your strength, right?
2: Still, I'm only one person.
3: And a solitary soldier can't do much.
4: Are you being humble...? Don't you think you're acting a little too weak?
5: You think so?
6: Either way, you saved me.
7: Thank you.
8: You're my boss.
9: I protect my master.

62)
1: And, you're a good woman.
2: Uh...what do you mean...
3: You're a good person. I felt that when we talked at the bar.
4: Oh...
5(2b): I really don't get you. You're kinda...weird.
6: Weird...I was told that before, too.
7(2b): Yeah, I bet...hahahaha!!

63)
1: My apartment's here.
2: Well then, see you tomorrow.
3: Yeah, okay.
4: He's going right home after coming all the way here? Well that's no fun...
5: He really is a weirdo.
6: slam
7: sssssh
8: squee

64)
sfx: shaaaaa
1: beeep
2: Hm...?
3: beeep

65)
1: ...no way...
2: Dao wouldn't come all the way here, would he...?
sfx: slip...
3: ka-chak
4: I was kicked out of my hotel.
5: Please let me stay.

66)
1: W-what happened?
2: They found out that I left one of Dao's men half-dead in the bathroom.
3: But I'm a girl who's living alone...
4: I thought about that.
5: And came up with a good solution.
6: The next morning
sfx: pound pound
7: Uuuu...my head hurts...
8: Uuuuuuuuunnn...

4: Gyaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!
5: gleam
6: A few days later
7: You look more exhausted with each day, Mr. Lemon.
sfx: teeter totter
8: I heard Nami and Sousuke have been barging into his room.
9: Uwahh...that sounds bad.
10: Alright, that looks good for now...

69)
1: Heheheh...no one's going to call this thing a hunk of junk anymore!
2: Now for the coloring.
3: A strong-looking one would be good.
4: Huh? Sousuke, did you buy something?
5: Paint.
6: Eh?
7: Three hours later
8: Mmm...not bad.

70)
1: This is the color of the one I used to ride.
2: Doesn't it look kinda weak?
3: It doesn't look weak, and it augurs well.

71)
1: Sorry if this seems selfish, but I'm going to call this machine [Al II].
2: Okaay...well, um, just do whatever you like, alright, Sousuke?
3: One month later...
4: Tonight, will the new stunner be able to lengthen its winning streak?!
sfx: boom boom boom

sfx: boooom
1: clang
sfx: bam
sfx: buohhh

73)
sfx: smash
1: The winner is!! !!
sfx: waaaaah
2: In a mere month, the has gotten dangerously close to a rank-up to A-Class!!
3: We did iiiiit!!!

74)
1: Great work!!
2: You're the real thing!!
3: No problem.
4: ...what am I doing?
5(2b): Now isn't the time to be fighting like this. I need to hurry up and find Chidori as quickly as possible.
6: But without a clue as to where to find the enemy, I have no choice but to sit here and spread out bait.
7: ...is that really the only reason why I'm here?
8: Here, I won't have to do any dangerous missions like when I was at .

75)
1: I won't have to work hard like I did when I was pretending to be a high school student in Tokyo.
2: Sousuke, great work out there.
3: You were, well...cool.
4: It's hardly been even two months since then...
5: But to be honest, I've come to think that living like this wouldn't be such a bad thing...
6: The next day--...
7: Look how lovestruck Nami is! How can you mistake it?

76)
1(2b): I guess. I do have a high level of piloting skill for this town.
2: I suppose it's natural for she, as the owner, to value me.
3: That's not what I mean...
4: Then what?
5: She's starting to like you, as a woman.
6: I don't think so. She talks for longer amounts of times with Lemon.
7: That just means she can talk relaxedly with Mr. Lemon.
8: What do you think of Nami?
9: I...

77)
1: Nami...is a lot like Chidori.
2(2b): It's been two months since I lost Chidori--where could she be now--...
3: I can't remember the color of those shoes she always wore.
4: Or which wrist she wore her watch on...
5: Not even the color of the ribbon she always tied her hair with.
6: I've forgotten it all...

78)
1: And not only that--...
2: splash
3: It's becoming hard for me to even remember her smile.

2: All I can do now is approach the enemy with my single body.
3: The enemy--...

4: I was watching you gawk around with your scrawny pale little body from some time ago.
5: Now hand over all the money you've got, foreign or otherwise, as well as that camera.
6: Damn...to think I drew the attention of some local thug...I must have overdone it.

12)
1: That's enough, Dao.
2: Get back, Nami...!
3: Don't ruin this town's reputation anymore by mugging people whenever you feel like it!

13)
1: Woah, woah, woah! You're going to shoot me over some random person?
2: I, a member of the Ogre family?!
3: The Ogre family...
4(2b): I didn't say that. I said that if it's money you want, I'll pay.

3: What are you doing?!
4: Now then...Monsieur.
5(2b): ba-dump ba-dump
6: Wh-what are you doing...?

15)
1: Negotiating.
2(2b): In exchange for my services and the money I gave to Dao, how does $4000 sound?
3: That's way too expensive!
4: And besides, this is all I have right now!
5(2b): $300, huh...well that's not even close to being enough.
6: It's enough to live a month of luxury in this town!!
7: That camera...
8: Not the camera!! It's a tool I need to work!!
9(2b): You're one of those reporters, aren't you? If you give that to your paper, you'll get a hefty reward, right?
10: Well, yes, if it's a good story.
11: Story...?

16)
1: In that case, I'll give you special permission to cover my team.
2(2b): Well? What do you think of our first-rate AS?!

17)
1: ...it looks horrible.
2(2b): I'm not too learned on ASes, but, look...it looks like it's really in trouble in numerous places.
3(2b): It is broken in a few places, but if it's fixed a little, it'll work fine!!
4: Well? Ashe.
5: All that's left now is Pipe #51 and the buffer solution!! Without that, we'll in trouble!!
6: It's alright, I found a sponsor!
7: ...eh?
8: We need money for parts. That's what the $4000 was about.

18)
1: And I told you, I don't have it on me!!
2: But if you write about our team, you might get a ton, right?
3: Gimme a break! Even if it does get published, $4000 is...
4(2b): Fine...so you'll pay the $4000 after you spend a night with me?
5: I know I should be asking for $10,000, but I'll let you slide.
6(2b): One night for $4000?! Just what kind of a high-class prostitute do you think you are?! And besides, I refuse to do such a thing with a minor!!
7: Tch! You're so unreasonable.
8: To be honest, though, if our team ends up winning, we could easily give back the $4000.
9: With odds that high, I bet you have no hope of winning.

19)
1: Oh, we can!! Our AS may look how it does, but we've got a super-skilled pilot with us!!
2: Hmm...
3(2b): His name is Rick, an ex-American Naval AS Pilot. He's blown through 10 enemy ASes so far, and he's known as the "Wild Eagle of the Jungle."
4: If he's piloting, then we can beat any AS, no problem!!
5: I wonder about that...
6: Seriously!! I mean, he's
7: We've got trouble, Nami!!
8: Rick was...

20)
1: This is Mr. Rick?
2(2b): To be honest, he wasn't a very nice guy. He did nothing but brag about his skill, and always looked down on us...he was also a womanizer, and an all-around slimeball.
3: But...
4: He didn't deserve to die.

21)
1: Yo, Nami.
2: Looks like Rick was stabbed to death.
3: What a dangerous town this is. Scary, scary...
4: Nami...could he have done it?
5(2b): I told you I wouldn't forget, remember? I've hated you all AND that American dog since the beginning.
6: ...you bastard!

22)
1: Going to resign? Or will you ride out on that thing?
2: Either way, I'm excited.
3: Hey, Nami...could your next opponent possibly be...
4: That's right, we're going up against Dao's team.
5: ...I'll pilot the AS.
6: Do you have experience in battle?
7: No, but I at least know how to move it.
8(2b): You're crazy!! That guy isn't just some normal pilot!! He'll kill you too!!

23)
1: But...I have to go out and win...
2: If I don't...
3: Forget about the $4000, Monsieur.
4: We'll take care of this ourselves.
5: W...wait! Aren't you getting a little too desperate?
6: Maybe.
7: Hmm...so Rick's gone, huh...
8(2b): ka-chak
9: Nami...
10: Is Rick here?
11: klak

24)
1: He's an old friend of mine...

25)
1: Where's Rick?
2(2b): Dead. We just found him stabbed through the back in a toilet.
3: ...oh. I always told him to watch his back...that's unfortunate.
4: Who are you?
5: A friend of his. Three years ago, we were both fighting on the same mercenary squad during a civil war.
6(2b): I see. Well, I'm sorry, but that's what happened.
7(2b): Mmm...I thought of becoming a fighter in the through him...I know that saying this looks like a good time may be a bit imprudent of me, but would you mind taking me on?

26)
1: You? You know how to move an AS?
2: A little.
3: A little...?
4(2b): These aren't super robots you see in manga, you know. They're special military machines. Practically alien technology to people who don't know their stuff.
5: Understand? So little boys who don't understand should just go home and keep watching TV.
6: Hmph...

27)
1-2: ka-chak
2: H-hey!! What are you looking at?!
3(2b): If it was only for a short period of time, I suppose fighting in this thing would be possible...but very tough. I imagine Rick must have had a hard time.
4-5: ka-chak
6(2b): ...you sound like you really know what you're talking about. But do you actually know anything about machines like these?
7: About this machine?
8(4b): This machine is a first generation RK-91, and its gravitational power and output power is inferior to a Rk-92's, because it does not have a gas turbine engine. Since it has a strong frame, however, it's better than the 91 in that regard. If we're only talking about fighting here, then it's not totally useless.
9(2b): The problem with this machine is cooling. If you have money for parts, I'd recommend buying a brand new muscle package.
10: For short term battles, quick power output is the most important.

28)
1: D...don't talk like you know everything!!
2(2b): It seems like you've worked hard to keep it well-equipped, though. I'm surprised just to see a first-generation 91 still together like this.
3(2b): Y-you're probably just some data-only weapon otaku, right? Amateurs should just...
4: I am not an amateur.
5: I'm a specialist.
6: Hey, Nami, we don't have any more time left!!
7: ...alright.

29)
1(2b): If you want to pilot it, then I'll let you. But this AS is in a horrible condition.
2: Dammit...if only we had some money...
3: About that...
4: I think I can pull out about $3000 from my card cache.
5: ...really?
6: I just thought it'd be interesting...to bet on such dire odds.
7: But we have high odds.
8: Hahaha...well, I'm counting on you. Otherwise I'll be penniless in a foreign country.
9: Thank you, master!!
10: Wawah...!!

30)
1(2b): Oh yeah. I'm Michel Lemon, a journalist.
2(2b): This girl is the AS owner, Nami. You are?
3: I...
4(2b): am Sagara. Sagara Sousuke.
5: I came here in search for something.
6: Two hours later---...

31)
1: I'll be off now.
2: Will he really be alright...?
3: Who knows, he may be able to pull it off.
4(2b): His explanation of the machine wasn't necessarily off the mark. And looking at his body...
5: He's gained muscle in a special pattern that only ASes have.
6: That Sosuke might really be a skilled--...

32)
1: Uh...did he just fall over?
2: I take back what I just said. We're screwed.
3(2b): Excuse me. I figured out its tendencies now. We're fine.
4: Oh really?

33)
1: So you actually had the gall to come out here, eh?
2-3: ga-shun
4: I dunno who's riding that think, but it's too late to beg for your life now.
5(2b): Up next we have a match where the odds are as clear as day! It looks as if the is going to feast violently on the !!
6: That's what that hunk of junk is called?

FULL METAL PANIC! SIGMA #27

tl by molokidan

128)
1: The day before the plan was first put into action--
2: Mr. Mardukas.
3: Yes, ma'am.
4: You always wear that hat, correct?
5: Hailing from the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, I do feel a bit uncomfortable in it, but...
6: Carl...just how many years has it been since I first received this hat from you?

129)
1: Don't worry. I think it fits you very well.
2: To think that I would one day wear this hat while riding on your daughter's ship...
3(middle text):
11 Years Earlier - America - New Hampshire
Portsmouth Suburbs
Carl Testarossa's Estate
4(2b): Back then, Carl and I were captains of nuclear submarines. Originally, I served the Royal Navy, and he the American Navy, but...
5: ding-dong
6: scrinch
7: Nice to meet you, Mr. Testarossa...

130)
1: W-welcome...Mr. Mardu...
2: --uuu...
3: Welcome. Mr. Mardukas! Please come inside.
4(2b): This is my daughter Teresa. It looks as if your height has frightened her. Don't worry about it.
5: A-alright...

131)
1: It's our first time meeting on land.
2: The entire crew of the "Dallas" is very thankful for what you did for us out there.
3: We of the "Turbulent" feel exactly the same.
4: I was very excited for our meeting today.
5: As was I.
6: This is my wife, Maria.
7: It is an honor to welcome you.
8: Please make yourself at home here tonight.
9(2b): Teresa has a twin brother, but he's extremely shy, so we've decided to let him stay at my superior, Mr. Borda's house.

132)
1: Dinner should be ready soon.
2: My wife is quite the cook, if I may say so myself.
3: Well then, I'm very excited.
sfx: teeter teeter
4: bump
sfx: splash

133)
sfx: quiver
1: plip plop
2(2b): As ironic as it may sound, it seems that our jovial dinner tonight is all thanks to that state-of-the-art soviet vessel.

134)
1(2b): The Soviets were moments away from sending nukes into British territory. If your ship hadn't sunk down at that moment...
2(2b): No, by all means, you were the ones who saved us. Since we took a surprise attack, our sub had completely lost its evasion abilities.
3: Since you were kind enough to become a decoy for their second shot, we were able to accurately sink down.
4: If it weren't for you, I would have never been able to see the smiles of my family ever again.
5: I'm jealous that you have a family to feel that way about...
6: Yes...about my family...

135)
1: Would you mind looking at these?
2: What...?
3: Upon first glance, I'm sure it seems to be nothing more than a child's scribbles, but..
4: These...as presumed with my meager knowledge, are memos that deal with the reflectance properties and attenuation rates of electromagnetic waves...
5(2b): Combining them with the theories written on the last two pages...oh my god...
6: This comes out to a theory of technology far more advanced that the cutting-edge technologies that are currently being utilized...?
7: This crayon graffiti...is it a secret message?
8: ...it is not some kind of complicated joke...

136)
1: It's a collaboration by Teresa and Leonard.
2: But this is...
3(2b): They say they both thought it up themselves -- despite the fact that this contains ideas and notions unknown to even my expert friends at MIT...
4: Precedents of phenomenons like these have happened with other people.
5: Precedents?
6: A very young child was once introduced on local Alaskan TV station.

137)
1(2b): He had written numerous chemical formulas and complicated physics equations down with his crayons. Just like with what my two children did, this boy's pages contained completely undiscovered theories of technology.
2(2b): Naturally, others found out about this occurrence. And then directly after the broadcast, that child and his family disappeared...
3(2b): Mr. Mardukas, can I entrust you with the confidentiality of my twins' abilities? It concerns their safety...
4: Of course. I promise.
5: But why, then, would you tell me such a thing in the first place--...?

138)
1: It's just a hunch, but...
2(2b): We will soon be forced to take part in a battle that is far removed from the scope of human understanding, one that lies in the realm of the inhuman. That's just the feeling I have.
3: It's because I think that it will someday come in handy that I gave you this information.
4(2b): You make too much of me, Mr. Testarossa.

139)
1: The next morning
2: I would have loved to stay longer, if I didn't have to go in to work.
3: Yes, it's regrettable that we were only able to spend one night together.
4(2b): Oh, that's right. This is a little something from me. Open it on your way home.
5: slip
6(2b): Oh, thank you. How exciting.
7: Let us meet again, Commander Mardukas.
8: Of course.
9: If my wish comes true, then our next time will be on the deep blue sea.
sfx: vrooom

140)
sfx: vroom
1(2b): scrinch scrunch
2: It's embroidered with the name of my ship...
3(2b): Sir...the captain knows about your habit of turning your hat around.
4: Sorry if it seems presumptuous, but I've also heard myself.
5: That when the "Duke" turns his hat around during manoeuvres, it's time to watch out.

141)
1: I see...so this cap will be easier to turn, eh?
2: I will gratefully accept this.
3: Thank you, sir. Allow me to also thank you.
4: All of us crew members of the "Dallas" owe our lives to you.
5: Don't worry about it. I merely chose the most efficient solution.
6: Speaking of which, I don't think I got your name.
7: Yes, sir. I am First Lieutenant Sailor, sir.
8: Mr. Mardukas...?
9: ...yes, ma'am.
10: Carl...that dread that faintly overcame you is now in the process of materializing...
11(2b): Tomorrow is finally the first day she's placed into actual combat. Daydreaming is forbidden.
12: Please excuse me, Captain.

142)
1(2b): The graffiti I saw that night was clearly a basic ECS theory. And the graffiti that Alaskan child drew contained basic AS technology.
2: If it wasn't for that graffiti, then the day when I first saluted to your daughter would have never come...
3: 8 Years Earlier -- London
A Dinner with the Admiral of the Royal Navy
4(2b): Commander Mardukas, you -- no, everyone in the world must remember that single nuke that was used in Kuwait.

143)
1: It's safe to say that single strike changed the tides of our world.
2(2b): After that attack, the 5th Middle East War became bogged down, Gorby was assassinated, and the powers of the East and West reached a chilling deadlock.
3: This may be a good thing, however.
4: It can also be said that this tension is keeping civil and religious wars from happening in third world countries.
5: With that in mind, don't you think that this cold war structure is the most peaceful system to have been developed in all of human history?
6: clink
7: ...I do not understand, Sir Edmond Mallory.

144)
1: I am merely a man who utilizes a weapon system in order to achieve the greatest possible result.
2: I do not believe I am of the position to give my opinion on political philosophy.
3(2b): How exemplary of you, Commander. You do not indiscreetly agree with my opinion.
4: And you think of yourself as nothing more than "a single sharpened blade."
5: Yes, sir.
6: I'm sorry. That just now was a trick question.
7: Sir?
8: I just wanted to confirm something. Please forget about it.

145)
1: Two years later--
Dartmouth
Britannia Royal Naval College: War History Compilation Room
2(2b): At this time I was relieved of my post of vessel Commander and demoted, due to nothing more than testifying about the truth of a fault in a ship that was the same type as my that had met with an accident -- an act that was deemed as unfavourable to the upper echelons of the Royal Navy.
3: I had come to accept the fact that I would never lay eyes on the sea again.
4: A letter for you, sir.
5: Sailor? What is a crew member from Carl's ship doing h...
6: ...is something wrong?

146)
1: Two days later--
Portmouth Suburbs
Carl Testarossa's Estate
2: According to the local police, the criminal was a transient who burned down the house after sniping the Testarossas in their own home.
3: Ohhh...Carl...Maria...

147)
1: Leonard and Teresa went missing, and the possibility of finding them was apparently low.
2-3: klak
4: What...what a horrible...
5: skree
6: ...what the?
7: ...A rifle bullet?
8(2b): This wasn't the work of some transient...this was a planned attack by a professional.
9: Did you switch jobs from a seaman to a detective?

148)
1: So we finally meet, Duke.
2(2b): I heard that you were coming by. There's some things you want to know, I assume?
3: Is that why the great Admiral Borda has come to a place like this all alone?
4: No, I am in charge of protecting a few people. Sorry if I've rubbed you the wrong way.
5: No...
6(2b): Just what happened here? Did the Testarossas really pass away? And what about their children...?
7(2b): Carl and Maria have left the earth. They were attacked here.

149)
1(3b): A secret intelligence agency from somewhere was planning on kidnapping Leonard and Maria. Carl perceived what was going to happen before the event, and asked me for help. By the time I got here, however, Carl and Maria had already been killed, and the house was burnt down.
2: All I was able to do was save the children who were about to be taken away.
3: So then they are safe?
4: Yes, they are currently in the hands of trustworthy people.
5: Who attacked them?
6: We don't know. They could have come from inside our country, or from overseas...there's the possibility that this is the work of some enterprise.
7: They are both geniuses far removed from the beaten track.
8(2b): Carl intended to hide this. But if he only would have told me about it, something could have been done...

150)
1: The reason I came here, however, aside from telling you all this, was because I have a proposition for you.
2: A proposition?
3: Are you interested in returning to the sea again?
4: Returning...?
5: To that beautiful, dangerous sea...?

151)
1: Half a year later -- A deserted island on the West Pacific
2: So we meet again. I'm overjoyed, Commander.
3: Welcome to Merida Island, the headquarters of 's West Pacific Fleet.
4: is a machine designed in order to avoid World War III, which we believe will happen in the near future.
5: We would like you to come work with us, Mr. Mardukas, on a team planning on how to counteract numerous dangerous threatening the world.
6(2b): But I'm a seaman. I'm not sure I'll be useful on a special squad like this...

152)
1: This is...
2(2b): . An extra-large scale shipping submarine that the Soviets were about to scrap due to insufficient funds. Well, Commander? I'd like to hear what you think after laying eyes on this incomplete vessel.

153)
1: ...unfortunately, if things go wrong its first battle may be its last.
2: With the noise that the propulsion system and nuclear reactor capable of moving such a huge craft makes, its level of espionage is too low. And with a structure like this, escaping on the sea floor would be...
3: Well, Dr. Painrose?
4: 100/100. I'm sure he'll be able to use this sub well.
5: What do you mean?
6: All of the technological problems that you just pointed out, Commander, will be solved by her.

154)
1(2b): Read this and try telling me it'll still be impossible, Mr. Mardukas.
2: ruffle
3: ...Teresa!!

155)
1(2B): I want to complete this girl as quickly as possible. If you refuse, then please leave the island at once. You'll just get in the way.
2: ruffle
3: Y-yes, ma'am...
4-6: ruffle
7: To think...that she was capable of this much...
8: She is prepared to risk her life in a battle of atonement.
9: ...atonement?
10: The missile that was fired into Kuwait was done so using her ECS technology.

156)
1: You'll stay here until she's completed, right, Uncle Jerry?
2: Yes, I'll prepare all that is necessary.
3: Well then, I'm counting on you.
4: Ah...
5: Please
6: return my documents.
7(2b): Now, let's begin. If you waste time daydreaming, I'll be an old woman before she's finished.
8: rustle
9: Yes ma'am.
10: That was my first salute.

157)
1: The present-- Merida Island
2: It's been four years already...
3: That hunk of rust known as was soon completed and became the world's strongest submarine, the .
4: Carl...I wasn't able to make my dream of sailing on the sea with you a reality,
5: but I am thankful to your daughter Teresa for once again inviting me to the deep sea.
6: Mr. Mardukas, let us go up to the command room.
7: klak

158)
1: Yes ma'am!

Chidori:Sousuke!!

もう……いいの……
Chidori:That's.....enough.
千鳥……行くな……
Sagara:Chidori....don't go....
Page 92
あたしは大丈夫だからあなたも・・・・・
Chidori:I'm alright, so you too ….
絶対に・・・・・/連れ戻す
Sagara:Definitely....get back …..
さぁ行くよ千鳥かなめさん/僕たちの場所へ
Leonard:Now let's go Kaname Chidori/To our place.

I'M NOT STUDENT. I'M KILLER
常盤の捕らわれている場所はこの時間帯生徒や職員が寄り付かない場所……
Sagara: The place where Tokiwa is captured is somewhere students and teachers don't approach during this time...

この屋上の給水区画だけだ！！
And that place can only be this roof's water supply area!!

Page 34
よし！！　後は爆弾を処理すれば……
Sagara:Good!! So now we just have to dismantle this bomb and....

んむっ……
Tokiwa:nmm...

……間に合うか……！？
Sagara:Can I make it...?

動くな常盤
Sagara:Don't move, Tokiwa.
俺が必ず助ける
Sagara:I will save you for sure.

Page 36
ぷはっ
Tokiwa:Phew
知らない男の人たちがカナちゃんの知り合いだとか言って……
Tokiwa:The strangers said they are acquainted with Kana-chan and ...
嘘だ
Sagara:That's a lie.
爆弾の形式次第ではもう……
Sagara:If the bomb is a type c.....
……助かった　敵に爆弾専門家はいなかったようだな
Sagara:....Good, seems they don't have a bomb specialist.
この程度なら俺でも処理は不可能ではない……
Sagara:This shouldn't be too difficult....
わからないの何がなんだか／……カナちゃんは無事なの？
Tokiwa:I have no idea what's going on./Is Kana-chan all right?
ああ無事だ安全な場所に……
Sagara:Indeed, She's all right and in a safe place....

Page 37
きゃっ！！
Tokiwa:Kyaa!!
ここは大丈夫だ／常盤　目をつむっていろ
Sagara:This place is safe./Tokiwa,just keep your eyes closed.
この音はＲＰＧ……いや　今は作業に集中しなければ……
Sagara:That sounds like an RPG....No, I should concentrate on this....

Page 38

現在攻撃を受けています／ＥＣＭは作動中　あと20秒
Al:I just got attacked./ECM activated, 20 seconds left.
相良くん　今の声は……？
Tokiwa:Sagara-kun, What's that voice....?
気にしなくていい／それより動くな　今から爆弾を解体する
Tokiwa:Nevermind/Just don't move a bit while I dismantle the bomb.
あと25秒……
Sagara:25 seconds left....

Page 39

危険なやり方だが時間がない
Sagara:This could be dangerous, but I don't have time.
最短の手順でいくしか……
Sagara:I will have to use the quickest method......
ふーーーっ
Sagara:whew......
あと15秒
Sagara:15 seconds left
この回路は見覚えのあるタイプだ／大丈夫俺ならやれる
Sagara:This circuit looks familiar./It's all right, I can do it.
よしここまでくれば……／くそっ　あと10秒
Sagara:All right, we got this so far./Shit, only 10 seconds left.
後はリード線を切ればいいだけだ／本物の1本を
Sagara:Then all I have to do is cut the correct cord.../The real one.
リード線は16本
Sagara:There are 16 cords.
15本はダミー切ればアウトだ
Sagara:If I cut one of the 15 dummy cords, it's over.
分が悪すぎるが迷っている時間はない
Sagara:The odds are against me, but there's no time to think it over.

Page 40

製作者の癖を読むんだ／「解体用」に残した１本がどれか！！
Sagara:Just need to find the maker's habits./To find out which one to cut!!
もうアルのＥＣＭがもたない！！
Sagara:Al can't keep up the ECM anymore!!
あと３秒／どれだ……自分なら……
Sagara:3 seconds left./Where is it....if I.....
自分ならここにする
If I made it I would do it like this.

Page 41

ＥＣＭ停止
Al:ECM deactivated.

Page 42

本機はこれより退避行動に移ります
Al:Now This machine is in evacuation mode.
正解だ　間に合った／アルも持ちこたえたようだな
Sagara:I chose correctly./Seems like Al held out as well.
相良……くん……？
Tokiwa:Sagara...kun....?
まだ動くな　これから本体の解体に入る
Sagara:Don't move yet. I'm now dismantling the main body.
わかんないよ……どうなってるの……？
Tokiwa:I can't understand you.....What's going on....?

Page 43
それは……
Sagara:That's …...
……すまない
Sagara:.....I'm sorry.
やっぱりカナちゃんが誰かに狙われてるんでしょ？
Tokiwa:Because Kana-chan was targeted by someone?
だからみんなも巻き込まれて危ない目にあって……
Tokiwa:That's why everyone was in danger....
千鳥は悪くない
Sagara:It's not Chidori's fault.
じゃあなんでカナちゃんあたしに一言も相談してくれなかったの！？／一番の親友だと思ってたのに
Tokiwa:Then why didn't Kana-chan talk to me about this./I thought we were best friend.

Page 44

あなたはそれを知ってるんだね
Tokiwa:And you knew what it was.
あの子とあなただけは知ってるんだ？
Tokiwa:Only you and her knew the situation.
あたしたち友達じゃなかったの？
Tokiwa:I thought we were friends... Aren't we?
あなたたちにとってあたしはただの部外者？／それで何も知らずに死ぬなんてそんなの嫌だよ
Tokiwa:Or am I just an outsider?/I don't wanna die without hearing the reasons.
常盤……
Sagara:Tokiwa....
なんで黙ってたの？何がおきているの？
Tokiwa:Why did you hide this? What's going on?
あなたがこの学校に来てからだよ／何かおかしくなっちゃったのは
Tokiwa:It's been going on since you came to this school./YOU make thing goes wrong.
あなたは誰なの……？
Tokiwa:Who are you...?
それは……
Sagara:That's....

Page 45
あなたは……
Tokiwa:You.....
いったい何者なの？
Tokiwa:Who are you really?
俺は……／……
Sagara:I'm..../...
俺は……
Sagara:I'm a
殺し屋だ
Kurama:Killer.

Page 46
たった一人でよくここまでやったものだ
Kurama:It's impressive that you've come this far by yourself.
こいつが追跡を指揮していたのか……なるほどな
Sagara:So this guy is leading the pursuit....I see.
そうでもない　間抜けどもが雁首を揃えていたからからな
Sagara:That's not true, it's just that those idiots were lined up together.

Page 47
憎まれ口もなかなかのものだな　相良宗助／いやカシムくん
Kurama:That insult was pretty good, Sousuke Sagara./Or should I say Mr. Kasim.
……ガウルンと組んでいたのか／クラマ
Sagara:....I didn't know you and Gaulun were teamed up./Kurama.
光栄だな　ご存知だったとは
Kurama:I'm honoured that you know about me.
レバノン時代にＳＡＳを5人殺した傭兵のあんたが何も知らない高校生を人質にするのか？
Sagara:You're the mercenary who killed 5 SAS in Lebanon, and now you take innocent high school students hostages.
まさか「卑怯だ」とでも言うんじゃないだろうな？
Kurama:Don't tell me you wanna deal with …cowardice.
お嬢さん　その男は我々と同類現役の殺し屋だ／ある傭兵部隊所属のな
Kurama:Young lady, him and us are the same sort of killers./Belonging to different mercenary teams.
その気になれば息をするように人を殺せる
Kurama:Killing people is just like breathing for us.
ついさっきも部下3人を殺してくれた
Kurama:He killed three subordinates just while ago.

Page 48

相良……くん？
Tokiwa:Sagara....kun?
まぁその傭兵部隊〈ミスリル〉も今頃壊滅状態だがな
Kurama:Well, that mercenary team Mithril will be wiped out any time.
あの白いＡＳもこちらのＡＳにじき片付けられる
Kurama:That white Arm Slave will also be eliminated in a moment.
援軍はもう来ない
Kurama:No reinforcements anymore.
お前はよくやったがもうあきらめろ
Kurama:You did well, but just give up now.
千鳥かなめを引き渡すならその娘の安全は保証しよう
Kurama:If you hand over Chidori Kaname, I will secure her safety.

Page 49

……えっ？
Tokiwa:.....what?
引き渡す？　カナちゃんを？／どういうこと！？
Tokiwa:Hand over? Kana-chan?/What do you mean?
回路から手を離せる状態にはなったが
Sagara:I can take my hands off the circuit now,
だが動けば奴らの銃弾は即座に俺の頭を吹き飛ばすだろう
Sagara:but if I move a bit, they'll blow off my head.
もう反撃のチャンスはない……
Sagara:I have no chance of fighting back.....
常盤さーーん！！
Wraith:Tokiwa-sa-----n
どこにいるのーーー！！
Wraith:Where are you----?
みんな非難しちゃいましたよ！！　いるなら反応して！！
Wraith:Everyone's evacuating now!! Tell me if you are!!
拘束しろ
Kurama:Tie her up.
はい
Subordinate:Yes sir.
神楽坂先生！！
Tokiwa:Miss Kagurazaka.
くっ……
Sagara:jeez
と　常盤さんに相良くん……？
Wraith:To-Tokiwa-san and Sagara-kun....?
この人たちはいったい……／きゃあ
Wraith:Who are these people..../Kyaa!

Page 50
無理に千鳥かなめの居場所を言う必要はない
Kurama:You don't have to give up Chidori Kaname's position.
この先生は気の毒だがこちらも本気を見せねばな
Kurama:Too bad for this teacher, but I have to show how serious I am.
だ　大丈夫ですよ二人ともこわがらないで……
Wraith:Do-Don't worry you two, it's all right....
担任の私が必ずこの人たちを説得しますから
Wraith:I, the homeroom teacher will convince these men for sure.
……だれ？
Tokiwa:....who?
もしや……
Sagara:Could be.....

Page 51
なっ……
Kurama:What....
その女殺せ……
Kurama:Kill that woman....

Page 52

ちっ……
Sagara:Crap....
サガラァ……
Kurama:Sagaraa--
こっちは片付いた軍曹！！

Page 53
Wraith:I'm done here, sergeant.
くそっ……
Kurama:Jesus....
待て軍曹！！爆弾処理が先だろ！！
Wraith:Wait, sergeant!!/We should take bomb first, right!!

Page 54
違うか？
Wraith:Aren't we?
それが素顔……？
Sagara:Is that your true face?
……女だったのか＜レイス＞
Sagara:....I didn't know you were a woman, Wraith.
顔を変える時間がなかったからな
Wraith:Because I don't have time to change my face.
それで今頃何をしていた？
Sagara:What were you doing until now?
いつもの＜エンジェル＞監視ポイントでまたやられた
Wraith:My usual 、angel observation point was attacked again.
あの銀髪とロボットだ／目覚めたのは夜中の2時　それからずっと足取りを追っていた
Wraith:That silver hair and robot./I woke up at 2 in the night and I've been following your trail since then.

Page 55
終わった　後はたのむ
Sagara:It's done, so I'll leave the rest to you.
それで脱出のめどはあるのか？／あの男は一時引いたが　包囲はまだ解かれていない
Wraith:So any ideas for an escape route?/That man has retreated for the moment, but the siege hasn't stopped.
脱出は困難だぞ
Wraith:Evacuation could be tough though.
いや問題ない
Sagara:No problem.
アル損害報告を
Sagara:Al, report your damages.
右大腿部および右下腕部にクラスＢの損傷　左肩部　左腰部にクラスＣの損傷
Al:Right crural and right forearm have class B damage. Left shoulder and left waist have class C damage.
位置は？
Sagara:Your position?
学校の北　800メートル敵ＡＳ接近中　
Al:800 meters north from the high school, enemy AS approaching.
振り切って来れるか？
Sagara:Can you pull out?
やってみます
Al:I'll try.

Page 56
あくまでも戦うつもりか　軍曹？
Wraith:So you'll keep on fighting, sergeant?
そうだ　まずは敵を倒し　脱出後千鳥をつれて逃げる／何処までもな
Sagara:Yeah, I will defeat the enemy, escape with chidori and run./Until the end.
彼女が「いやだ」と言ったらどうする？
Wraith:What if she says no?
言うわけがない
Sagara:She won't say.
それはおまえの勝手な思い込みじゃないのか？
Wraith:That's just your selfish imagination, aren't it?
知ったことか　彼女を守ること以外何も思いつかないだけだ
Sagara:It doesn't matter. I have to protect her, but I don't have any other ideas.
おまえ……
Wraith:You.....
絶対に守る／……守るんだ
Sagara:Definitely protect and/....save her.

Page 57
相良くん……
Tokiwa:Sagara-kun....
怖い思いをさせてすまなかった常盤
Sagara:I'm sorry I scared you.
俺はあの男の言ったとおりの人間だ
Sagara:But I'm a man just like that guy told you.
もう学校にはいられない
Sagara:I can't stay here any longer.
ここでお別れだ
Sagara:So long now.
え　だってそんな……
Tokiwa:Eh but why....
落ち着いたら彼女の部屋に行ってくれ
Sagara:When things calm down, please visit her room.
ハムスターの世話を頼む
Sagara:And take care of her hamsters.
千鳥が心配していた
Sagara:Chidori was worrying about that.

Page 58 and 59
敵が近づいています　急いでください
Al:The enemy is approaching, hurry up.
常盤！！
Sagara:Tokiwa!!
えっ……？
Tokiwa:eh....?
楽しい毎日だった
Sagara:These days have been really fun.
ありがとう
Sagara:Thank you.

きゃっ
Tokiwa:Kya!!

Page 61
＜レイス＞常盤をたのむ……
Sagara:Wraith, please take care the Tokiwa....
まさか……
Sagara:It can't be.....

こちら調布市陣代寺周辺は朝から異様な緊張に包まれています
Reporter: This is Choufu City. The area around Jindai Temle has been surrounded by a strange tension since this morning.

市街地および陣代寺公園内で数件の発砲事件があったようで大破した車両が数台見うけられます
Reporter: There have been several shoot-outs around the urban district and in the Jindai Temple Park, so we are able to see many destroyed cars from here.
死傷者は不明
Reporter: There is no information about any casualties so far.

あ！！大きなヘリ！！
Children: Oh, that's a big helicopter!

封鎖されました公園内からは
大きな炎と黒煙がここからも確認できます
Reporter: We can see the huge flames and smoke that are rising from inside the sealed park.

Page 4
あ　ただ今上空を
自衛隊のＡＳ（アームスレイブ）
空輸ヘリが通過していきます
Reporter: There, the cargo helicopter that's carrying the arms slave
of the Japanese Defense Forces just passed by.

ほんの先程まで平和だったこの街は一体どうなってしまうのでしょう？
Reporter: Just a while ago this was a calm, nice city. What will happen now?

Page 5

封鎖区域から数キロ東
Narration: A few miles east of the sealed area

監視の網は想像以上だな
Sagara: The surveillance net was a lot stronger than we thought, huh...

はい　軍曹殿
AI: Yes, Sergeant.
人員の配置以外に
光学センサ
赤外線センサ
超広域レーダーを確認
AI: Deployment of optical sensor, infrared sensor, and long-range
radar confirmed.

ＥＣＳを使用したとしても敵に感知される確率は高いです
AI: Even with the ECS, the possibility of enemy detection is high.

……アル
完全自立モードで移動した場合
Sagara: AI, if you move in Total Auto Mode
陣代高校まで最短で何秒かかる？
Sagara: How long will it take you to reach Jindai High School?

約４０秒です
AI: About 40 seconds.

移動後に対空用ＥＣＭを何秒駆使できる？
Sagara: And when you get there, how long can you hold an Anti-Air ECM?
約１５０秒です
AI: About 150 seconds.

Page6

……………よし
Sagara: …fine.
Sagara: Keep your ECS activated
ＥＣＳは現状維持
Sagara: and stay alert in Mode 4.
モード４で警戒待機だ
Sagara: Return when I call you.
呼んだらすぐ来い

了解　軍曹殿
AI: Affirmative, sergeant.

Page 8

軍曹殿
AI: Sergeant,
ミズ・チドリはあの場に置き去りに？
AI: You left Miss Chidori in that place, but

ビルへの着地時
少なからず痕跡を残しています
AI: When we reach the building, we've left traces
安全の確保が不十分かと
And the security level wasn’t good enough for her.

問題ない
Sagara :No problem.
千鳥のケータイを最後に使ったビルから廃工場へのルートとは大きく外れている
It wasn't on the route between old factory and building we use chidori's cell phone
もちろんここへのルートからもだ
and definitely not on the route towards this place.

衛星を使ってもすぐには敵は発見できない
Sagara: Even with the satellite, the enemy won’t discover her right away.

Page 9

こちらが指定した泉川町廃工場での（アーバレスト）放棄が１１００時
Sagara :We deal the dispose of the arbalest in the Sengawa Old Factory at 1100

それまでの時間に発見されなければいい
Sagara: So you hide here until then.

軍曹殿
AI: Sergeant.

まだ何かあるのか？
Sagara: What? You still have something--

このまま私を置き去りにしないでください
AI: Don’t leave me behind like this.

…………
Sagara: …
後で呼ぶと言っただろ
Sagara: I said I’ll call you.
なぜそんなことを言う？
Sagara: And why do you say that?

予感がするからです
AI: Because I have a feeling.

予感………？
Sagara: A feeling…?

Page 10

あなたとお別れする予感です
AI: A feeling that we’ll separate.

Page11

陣代高校
Narration :Jindai High School

やはり今は授業中外に人影はない
Sagara: As expected, it’s class time so no one’s outside.

このまま校舎に接近すれば確実に姿を見られる
Sagara: If I approach in a normal way, they’ll undoubtedly see what I’m doing.

その時点でアウト　敵はためらわず起爆スイッチを押すのは確実
Sagara: And that would be the end of the story. The enemy definitely won’t hesitate on using the bomb.

もし運良く進入できたとしても、
校舎中にある爆弾をすべて発見・無効化することは
物理的に不可能
Sagara: Even if I was lucky enough to get inside, it’s physically impossible to find all the bombs in the school and deactivate them.

ならばーーー・・・・・・・
Sagara: So then…

おかけになった電話番号は現在電源が入ってないためかかりません
Auto Voice: The phone you are trying to reach has been turned off.
後ほどおかけ直しください
Please call again later.

だろうな
Sagara: Sure enough
今は授業中だ
He's in class right now.

Page12
電源を切られる可能性もある
Sagara: The possibility isn’t high

おかけになった電話番号は現在ーーー
Auto Voice: The phone you are trying to reach----

きっとあの人なら気付いてくれる……
Sagara: But that person will notice this…

おかけになった電話番号は
Auto Voice: The phone-------

先輩　頼みがあります
Sagara: Senpai, I have to ask you

………トラブルかね？
Hayashimizu: Will this be trouble?

………ええ
Sagara: …Yes.

Page13

わかったどうすればいい？
Hayasimizu: So then, What can I do for you?

ではまずーーーーーーーーー
Sagara: Well, in the beginning…

………………

まいったな　停学ものだ
Hayashimizu: Oh, my. That’s worth a suspension.

必要なんです
Sagara: But I need it.

いや　冗談だよ喜んでやろう
Hayashimizu: Sure, I’m just kidding. I’d be glad to help.

ただーーー……
Hayashimizu: But

これでお別れということかな？
Hayashimizu: This is our goodbye, isn’t it?

………おそらくは
Sagara: I guess…

Page14

そうか　達者でな
Hayashimizu: That's enough. Good luck.
君との１０ヶ月は楽しかったよ
Those ten months that we’ve spent together

本当に楽しかった
Really fun.

俺もです　楽しかった……
Sagara: I enjoyed them, too.

彼女にも力になるとよろしく言っておいてくれ
Hayashimizu: Tell her we’ll always help you, Okay?

Page 15

幸運を
Hayashimizu: Good luck.

ミスタ　アイアン……
Enemy Leader: MR. IRON Fe,

ガウルンの言っていたとおり面白い男だよ
or shall I say Gaulun, was right. You’re such an
interesting person,

サガラソウスケ
Enemy Leader: Sousuke Sagara.
ただ私の部下をけっこうな人数殺してくれた
Enemy Leader: But you’ve killed plenty of my men
それは実に面白くない
Enemy Leader: And that's not interesting at all.

廃工場に白いＡＳは現れたか？
Enemy Leader: Did you see the white arm slave?

いえ　まだです
Subordinate: No, not yet, sir.

取引に問題が生じたときは
Enemy Leader: When there is any problem on our deals
ここの生徒　全員を殺す
Enemy Leader: I will kill all the students.

Page16

こちらには報復する権利がある
Enemy Leader: I have the right to seek revenge on you.

この起爆スイッチを押せば終わりだ
Enemy Leader: I just have to hit the ignition switch.
後のことは俺の知ったことではない
Enemy Leader: I won’t care about the rest.

SFX: pse pse
校内に動きあり
Subordinate: I see the movement inside.
火災報知器が鳴っています
Subordinate: The fire alarm has gone off.

サガラの仕業だろう
Enemy Leader: That must be Sagara.
無駄なあがきだ
Enemy Leader: Useless move.

年に一度の避難訓練しかしていない
Enemy Leader: All those high school students
高校生１０００人以上が校舎からの完全撤退に何十分かかると思う？
Are just doing their yearly emergency drill. How long will this one take?

マイクで音をよこせ
Enemy Leader: Give me audio.

了解
Subordinate: Roger.

Page 17

アーーー……
Hayashimizu: Ah…
テストテスト
Hayashimizu: Testing, testing.
こちらは生徒会です
Hayashimizu: This is the student council.

つい先ほど　北校舎で重大な災害が発生しました
Hayashimizu: A serious disaster has just happened, a few seconds ago in the North Building.

当生徒会の補佐官
Hayashimizu: Our deputy student council member
ーーエーーー……
Hayashimizu: Er…
ご想像のとおり彼です
Hayashimizu: As you expected, it’s him.

彼が持ち込んだ化学兵器が不幸な事故により漏洩しました
Hayashimizu: The chemical weapon he brought has leaked by accident

これから１００秒以内に校庭まで避難してください
Hayashimizu: So I want you all to evacuate the grounds in 100 seconds.

Page 18

少しでも遅れると死にます
Hayashimizu: Every second makes a difference,
お急ぎを
Hayashimizu: So hurry up.

科学…兵器？
Enemy Leader: Chemical… weapon.
ただの高校に
Enemy Leader: In a typical high school?
化学兵器……
Enemy Leader: A chemical weapon?
誰が信じるというんだ？
Enemy Leader: How many of them will actually believe that?

実にプロらしくない
Enemy Leader: That’s not very professional, Sagara.
………失望したぞサガラ
Enemy Leader: I’m disappointed in you Sagara.

Page 19

交渉決裂だ
Enemy Leader: The deal’s over.

………？
Enemy Leader: …?

なぜ爆発しない！？
Enemy Leader: Why haven’t the bombs gone off?
無線信号が届いてないのか！？
Enemy Leader: The radio signal hasn’t reached them yet?

Page 20

サガラだーーーーーっ！！
Student: Sagara----
サガラのやつまたやらかしやがったーーー！！
Student: Sagara’s done it again!
マジで逃げろーーーっ！！
Student: Run like hell!
助けてーーーー！！
Student: Help me!
イヤーーーッ！！
Student: No-----
死にたくねーーーーっ！！
Student: I don’t wanna die!

Page 21

馬鹿な………
Enemy Leader: Impossible…
何故信じる！？
Enemy Leader: Why would they believe that?!
化学兵器だぞ………！？
Enemy Leader: He said it was a chemical weapon.

しかもこの移動速度………
Enemy Leader: And this speed…
予想外に速すぎる！！
Enemy Leader: They’re much faster than expected.

相良君のこの１０ヶ月の行動を考えれば当然の結果だな
Hayashimizu: This is all because of Sagara’s actions the past ten months. It’s very predictable.

こんな非常識な避難放送を本気にする生徒がいるのは日本で唯一我が校だけだろう
Hayashimizu: But this school is the only one in all of Japan whose students would believe such a ridiculous emergency announcement.

どうなっている！！？
Enemy Leader: What the hell?!
Ｄ地点から非常に強力な電波妨害です
Subordinate: There’s strong radio jamming from D point.

Page 22

まさか………
Enemy Leader: It can’t be…
白いＡＳ！？
Enemy Leader: The white arm slave?!

あのビルはＡＳの接近を監視する監視ポイント！！
Enemy Leader: There was a surveillance point looking out for the arm slave!
……部下は制圧されたのか！？
Enemy Leader: Have my men been oppressed?

いや考えるのは後回しだ……
Enemy Leader: No, this isn’t the time to think about it.

Page 23
あの白いＡＳはＥＣＳを停止して全てのパワーを電磁妨害に注ぎ込んでいる
Enemy Leader: The white arm slave has put all power into radio jamming, so its ECS is down.

すぐに攻撃しろ
Enemy Leader: Fire at will.
了解
Subordinate: Roger.
せいぜい保って２分程度だろう
Enemy Leader: It won’t last more than two minutes.

今　あの機体はまったく動けないはずだ
Enemy Leader: That one won’t move a bit.

同時刻
Narration: At the same time

Narration: At Melida Island

Uruz1: Five minutes max.
………わかった
Headquarters: …okay.
限界が見えたら
Headquarters: Once you reach the limit,
帰投しろ
Headquarters: Get back to hideout.
穴倉に潜って白兵戦に持ち込む
Headquarters: We will assault them.

奴らはＢＣ兵器を使うかもしれません
Uruz1: They might use the BC Weapons.

It's over there
わかっている
Kalinin: Yes, I know.
Ｃ３区画の空調施設を奪われたら終わりだ
Kalinin: When they take the C3 Section, the air conditioning control will be over there.

戦力は集めている
Kalinin: We’ll gather the units.
今は相手に集中してくれ
Kalinin: You focus on the ones in front of you.

了解

Narration :West side of Melida Island

Page 25

大佐殿
Kalinin: Colonel.

西岸に敵の降下部隊が到達しました
Kalinin: The enemy parachute is now approaching the west seaside.
想定時刻より１０分の遅れですね
Tessa: It’s been delayed ten minutes.

これもベヘモスＢを撃破したおかげ
Tessa: It’s all thanks to the destruction of Behemoth B.

この１０分は脱出時間の貴重な貯金になる
Tessa: These ten minutes will buy precious time for retreat.

陸戦ユニットが降下部隊の侵入を足止めできるのはせいぜいが３０分
Tessa: The landing force can only detain the parachuters for about thirty minutes.

Page26
その１分をかせぐのにどれだけの損害が出るんだろう
Tessa: And how many soldier’s lives will pay for each minute?
艦長
Maducas: Captain.

地下ドック
Narration: Underground Dock

ダナンが出航可能になるまであと１５０分必要です
Maducas: Danan will be ready for voyage in 150 minutes.
パラジウムリアクターの燃料ペレット充填をあきらめれば短縮は可能ですが

Maducas: But if we abandon the palladium reactor and fuel pellet refilling the time will be reduced.
それだと数週間で航行不能になります
Maducas: But at that time, it’ll only be a few weeks left then we’ll have
no more moves.

１５０分………それじゃとても足りない……
Tessa: 150 minutes… That costs too much…
しかし今は脱出後の心配をしている余裕はない
Tessa: But there’s no time to worry about what will happen after.

まずは脱出しないと！！
Tessa: We have to retreat now.

リアクターの充填およびその他全て作業中止
Tessa: Abandon all reactor refilling and anything related.
余った人員は全て水密点検に回してください
Tessa: Get the extra crew to check the waterproofing.

やはりそれしかありませんな
Maducas: I guess you’re right.
了解です
Maducas: Roger that.

Page 27

大佐殿？
Kalinin: Colonel?

保たないでしょ？１５０分なんて
Tessa: You can’t hold it for 150 minutes, can you?

少佐？
Tessa: Major?

………
Kalinin: …

………少佐？何か？
Tessa: Major? What is it?

あ……いえ
何も………
Kalinin: Er… no. No, ma’am.

…………
Tessa: …

失礼しました
大佐殿
Kalinin: My apologies, ma’am.

どうしたのかしら……
Tessa: What’s wrong with him?
いつもの少佐らしくない………
Tessa: The major’s not acting like himself.

どこか集中力を欠いているような……
Tessa: It seems he’s lost his tension?

Page 28

やれるだけのことはやってみますがーーー……
Kalinin: We’ll try our best, but

ウルズ６より本部へ
Klutz: This is Uruz6 to headquarters.

はい　こちら本部
Tessa: Yes, this is headquarters.

現在もベヘモスＡと交戦中
Klutz: We are still engaged in battle with Behemoth A.

ベヘモスＡの主兵装はほぼ無力化した
Klutz: We’ve destroyed all the main weaponry,
ただ…………
but…

ウルズ３は撃破された
Klutz: Uruz3 was broken down

キャステロのオヤジは戦死だ
Klutz: And Old Castello has been killed.

……本部了解
Kalinin :Headquarters. Roger that.
ご苦労だった帰投しろ
Good work. Retreat for now.

いや　敵の降下部隊が見える
Klutz: No, I see parachute troops
残弾で足止めしてから帰投するわ
Klutz: So I’ll waste some bullets here and then I’ll pull back.

Page 29

心配ないわすぐ戻って……
Tessa: Don’t worry about that and pull back immediately.
ありがとよ　テッサでもまぁ
Klutz: Thank you, Tessa, but, er…
もう少し粘ってみるわ
Klutz: I’ll keep my position for a while
そうでもしないと……
Klutz: Otherwise…

そうでもしねぇとあいつらに顔向けできねぇからな
Klutz: Otherwise… I can’t be proud of myself for them.

んじゃよろしく
Klutz: Then that’s that.

ウェーバーさん……！？
Tessa: Mr. Waver…?!

急げー！！
Student: Hurry up!
みんな全力で逃げろーー！！

化学兵器って何よ！？
Student: What’s the chemical weapon anyway?
サリンとか！？
Student: Are you saying it might be…?!
わからんが
Student: No idea,
サガラならどんな危険物でも持ってるだろーよ！！
Student: But Sagara has all sorts of dangerous stuff.
お、おい押すなよ
Student: Hey, don’t push me!
うわーーっ
Student: No way----

……そこまでオレのやらかすことが恐ろしいのか……？
Sagara: …are you that scared of me, doing…
林水先輩の校内放送とアルの電磁妨害
Sagara: Hayashimizu’s emergency announcement and AI’s radio jamming…
とりあえず現時点では敵を出し抜けた
Sagara: Up until now, we’ve overcome the enemy.

これで校舎を爆破されたとしても
Sagara: What if the school was bombed,
人的被害はゼロだ
Sagara: No one would die now.

ただ１名を除いて……
Sagara: Except for one person…

Sagara: I will rescue you!

S(2b): The possibility that we'll be sacrificng 99 people to save "one" is 99%. And the possibility that we'll be able to save 99 and "one" is 1%.
S: Which is the wiser decision? It's not even a question.
S: But to me, that "one" is priceless.
C(2b): We don't have any more time...let's go...
S: Those 99 people are important to, but...this "one"...is even more important.

S: We're heading to Jindai High now, Al.
S: We're going to search out the bombs in there and deactivate them.
A: I'm may not know about the details of this situation,
A(2b): but that is clearly an irrational decision. So irrational that I must ask you to reconsider.
S: Irrational...yeah, it is.
S: ...but I don't know what else to do.
sfx: beep
S(2b): With this text message, I can take back the initiative. The enemies are pros too...this proposal isn't a bad one.
S: I'm sure they'll go for it...

158)
S: Alright!!
?: What is your request?
S: Confirmation of my safety and escape. I want to designate the time and place.
?: ...fine. All we care about is securing Chidori Kaname.
S: My AS will be waiting at the second block of Sengawa Town by the old factory at 22:00, with an open hatch. I'll send Chidori Kaname about 2km away, walking alone toward Sengawa Station.
S: After the trade is complete, I will disappear.
?: Fine. But if even the smallest diversion appears in the process, we will set all the bombs at the school off.
S: Just like I wrote in the message, that doesn't threaten me.
?: Oh really? Well, we've lost around 10 from our side too, you know. We can't help but want to make you suffer a little.

159)
S: That's of no interest to me. I'm hanging up.
sfx: beep
S: Al. After moving Chidori, head to Jindai High.
A: Understood.
S(2b): Chidori...you probably won't forgive me for making this decision.

160)
S: I can't think of doing things any other way, though.
S: I'm keeping my promise.
S: I will protect the world you belong to.
S: I don't have a single ally...but this is what I must do.

S: "Bombs have been tied to your friend and also hidden around the school.
S: If you want to save anyone, leave the AS and come to the school immediately.
S: If you do not, the bombs will be detonated."

104)
sfx: click...
S: Chidori.
S(2b): I know you must be in shock right now. But...
C: I knew about the truth of things.
C: That this life wouldn't continue forever...
C(2b): That whenever the enemy came, things would become all messed up. That they'd probably take me away...

105)
C: It's all my fault.
C: If I would have gone with him yesterday, Kyouko, and everyone else wouldn't have gotten tangled up in this.
S: That's not true. The enemy is at fault here.
S(2b): And everyone is still fine for the time being. If we save them, everything will be alright.
C: ...save them?
C: What are you talking about?!
C: There's no way we could possibly save them at this point!!

106)
C: Aside from the bomb on Kyouko, they probably had some pros rig up other disguised bombs around the school, right? We'll never be able to find them all...
S: If we use the electromagnetic pulses on board the ...
C: It's impossible.
C: Judging by the level of this enemy, it wouldn't be surprising to find they had long-range molecular spectrum sensors, high-sensitivity magnetic sensors, and reverse interference mics set up, right?
C(2b): Besides, even if we found the locations of all the bombs with the AS, rendering them useless with the electromagnetic pulse would be impossible if the bombs were programmed to respond to NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), right?
S: Chidori...I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm saying...
C: You don't know?

107)
C: So you really are no different from the rest of them, after all.
S: Chidori...
C(2b): Don't look at me with such a stupid face like that. It's like you're making fun of me, I can't stand it...geez, it really pisses me off how idiotic everyone around me is.
S: Chidori...!!
sfx: yank!

108)
S: That's just a delusion produced by the high level of intelligence the were gifted with. Don't look down on others! Acknowledge your own sickness.
C(2b): ...you think just making a worried face gives you the right to put yourself in the higher psychological position? It's so simple, it makes me want to laugh.
S(2b): Didn't you say this just a few minutes ago? You're scared of me...and you like me, but you're scared of me.

109)
S: I like you too.

110)
S: But I'm scared.
S: I don't understand it.
S: But I'm attracted to you.
S(2b): From the moment I first met you, I've just felt it over and over again.
S: A feeling I've never felt until now...
S: You're the one that changed my entire world.

111)
S: I will protect you.
S: And I will protect the world you belong to.

112)
S: That is my "mission."
S: Lend me your strength so we can save Tokiwa.
S: I'll make sure everything works out, just like it has until now.
C: You really think you can save her, no matter what?
S: Affirmative. As long as you and I are together.

113)
C: Sorry, but I just think it's impossible.
C: It's probably best for us just to surrender.

Box: Merida Island
F: This is the HQ. We have lost the upper regions of the base to explosive attacks, but the dock is still safe.

U(2b): This is Gebo-3. To all soldiers: the s have begun spreading out.
U: We will now transmit you data pertaining to s A, B, and C.

C: This is Uruz-1, thank you. You've done enough, Gebo-3, feel free to evacuate.
G: Gebo-3 here. Understood. The just shot--

C(2b): Uruz-1 to Kano-13. Head directly to the point where Gebo-3 fell.
K: Kano-13 here. Understood.
C(2b): Everyone else, prepare to hunt down B. Uruz-1 and 2 will play around with A and C.
U: Uruz-2 here, understood. Pretty lame for a dance partner, though.
L: You alright, sis? You should know how dangerous those things are more than anyone...
U: Have you forgotten that Uruz-1 and 2 are both eqiupped with a multi-lateral communications system?
l: Ahh...so you're saying they can control those M6 puppets, huh?

M: Dammit...it's totally unscathed...
M(2b): Uruz-2 to all soldiers. My attack was...
M: There really is no way for our units to make even the tiniest scratch on a ...
M: ...no, wait a minute...
M: It...did work?
M: I knew it! Half a year ago, Kurz managed to deal damage to one of them with a rifle.
M: As long as I can take it by surprise...I'll be able to take advantage of its openings!!

121)
M: It's still too early to despair!!
M(2b): Uruz-2 to all soldiers: while light, I still managed to deal damage to the giant AS!! We can do this!!
S: Understood!!
P(2b): This is Perth-1. The enemy's descending force is coming in from the southeast. I expect hand-to-hand combat will start within 15 minutes.
P: If we don't clean up the s as much as we can until then,
P: we will be defeated.
M: ...all three of those things? In only 10 minutes?

122)
M: Easier said that done...
M: This is going to be a tough fifteen minutes...
sfx: boom boom boom
L: They're having a field day out there...dammit!
L(2b): B has entered Area HO. It'll be about 60 seconds until he reaches the C Line...
L: Clouseau and sis will be keeping the other 2 busy...

123)
L: That means we'll have to use the remaining M9s to destroy the last one.
L: But...
L: Knowing that it's all up to my marksmanship is a hell of a lot of pressure...
Box: During Briefing
L: Lambda Drivers aren't perfect.
L(2b): The strength of the "protective wall" that surrounds them varies depending on the concentration of the pilot. If you can take them by surprise, dealing damage is possible.
L: We got lucky last time, but still weren't able to deal enough damage to completely immobilize it.
L(2b): We'll probably only have one chance. In other words, the only way to do it is to target the cockpit with a single shot.
L(2b): The head area of the unit that contains the cockpit is surrounded by multi-layered reinforced armor. We don't possess the firepower capable of piercing it with a single shot.

124)
L: No...that single shot isn't quite impossible, you know.
L: This is Uruz-6. Let me know your situation, Team Red.
U: Uruz-5 here, I can move anytime.
U: Uruz-10 here, gimme 20 more seconds.
L: Uruz-8? Can you move?
S(2b): Got no choice, do I? I'm OK to go.
L: Alright then, let's take out that hunk of junk with one hit!!
S: You need to give you shots a little more impact, Leader-san...

125)
L: "Fairy Eye" activated.
sfx: kyuuuuun
A: Yes, Sergeant.
A: Kurtz's unit possesses a Lambda Driver display sensor known as the "Fairy Eye."
K: Heheheh...you're totally naked, Mr. Giant...
K(2b): I can get a light idea of the status of the "protective wall" around the entire unit. This is going to be a piece of cake!
K: The distance is 2500m...wind speed 12m...atmospheric temperature 22 degrees...humidity 83%.
sfx: grip...
K(2b): My field of vision is less than desirable, and the speed of wind on land compared to the air above the ocean is completely different. The enemy's movements are also unstable...fuck, fuck, fuck...!!
K: There isn't a single pilot on earth capable of pulling off a shot like this!!

126)
S: What's wrong, Kurtz? Don't tell me you're getting cold feet?
K: Hah! You wish.
S: If you can do this, I'll make sure you earn a fortune afterwards.
S(2b): The week after this, I'm positive the price of potatos is going to go up. If you give $5,000 to me, I'll make it into 20 times that amount.
K: What the hell are you talking about at a time like this?
S: What does that giant scrapheap have to do with potatoes?
K(2b): If I go into that, we'll be here forever. Let's just hurry up and fuck this sucker.
K: Whaddya say?
S(2b): I'm counting on you for my new fortune, alright? Then I'll share some of the bikini babes at my new mansion in Florida with you!
K: Sorry, that isn't really my scene...
S: Oh really? How about a new ferrari, then?
K: That's more like it!

W: Concentrate, everyone!!

M: So you're just asking us to die, then?
C: If the s manage to land on the island, our last way of escaping--
C: the , will be destroyed.
C: If that happens, then every human in this squad will be forced into the center of this secluded island.
C: Destroying the s is the minimum requirement in order to survive.

84)
L: Pfft...
M: How about this, then?
W: What is it, Corporal Speck?
S(2b): Let's forget about this futile battle, and take our rifles to the command center.
W: ...enough, Speck.

85)
S: We might as well just hand Tessa and the over to them! I'm sure the enemy would love that!
W(2b): Go ahead, just keep it up! Especially if you want to be charged with desertion and treason.
W(2b): What do you intend to say to our hired soldiers? I'm sure they'll be fully willing to discuss things in a business-like manner with you.
C: You son of a bitch...
C: You think I'll just die happily for the sake of my allies, huh?!
C(2b): This isn't some Hollywood war movie, you know!! I refuse to die like a dog!!
L: Die like a dog...?
M: ...he may have a point...
sfx: klik
T(2b): Sell me out, huh? That's a pretty good idea.

86)
sfx: klak
S(2b): Hey, don't think badly of me. I'm just acting professional here, you know?
F: You're right.
F: Let me borrow your gun.
Y: Y-yes, ma'am...
F: I'm sure there are others present who agree with Speck-san's thoughts.
F(2b): But I won't allow it. Anyone planning betrayal or treason will be shot down where they stand -- by yours truly.

87)
S: Hey now, don't overdo it there...I always thought you were supposed to be a good girl...?
sfx: bam
S: ggh...
sfx: shooo...
F(2b): Watch your attitude, Corporal.

88)
F: What, did you expect me to simply start crying and play the sympathy card in order to plead with everyone to stay loyal?
F: The fact that you are standing here right now means you too are a human who walks down the "Soldier's Corridor," correct?
F(2b): You came to this base out of your own will. Is that incorrect?
S: No...
F: Did you think I was a Princess only in name?

89)
F: Go ahead, let's hear you say it.

90)
F: Who am I? What is my rank?

91)
S: You're...
S: Captain Teresa Testarossa,
S: Commander of the Force.
F(2b): Looks like I took this joke a little too far. My apologies.
F: Here you go.
F: The enemy intends to wipe from the face of the earth.
F: The time for negotiation is over.
F: Corporal Speck...
F(2b): The force requires your abilities right now. If you all manage to survive, I'll write off your crime of inciting treason.

92)
S: ...survive? Where are you getting this hope from...?
sfx: klak...
F: If there is none, then simply create some.
F: Read my report once more and use your head.
F: It seems like you're all misunderstanding, but....
F: I never once ordered anyone to "die."
F(2b): I have never done so before, nor...
F: will I ever in the future.

93)
F: This is an order. You must all survive.

94)
S: Yes ma'am!!!
F: Good luck.
sfx: klik klak
L: Hooo...
S(2b):Ahh, sorry, I was just irritated. But you were all thinking the same thing, right?
F: ...yeah.

95)
C: ...we got scolded again, as usual.
C: It's just as she said. Drowning in self-pity won't help us at all, we need to approach this situation with intelligence.
M: Yes sir!!
Box: Tokyo
A: The enemy cannot be tracked.

96)
A: Alright, Al, be on the lookout in Mode 4.
A: Yes, Sergeant.
S: Have you calmed down a bit?
C(2b): Yeah, I'm fine...but more importantly...
C: Santos-san died because she came to save me, didn't she?
S(2b): That's not true. It was her mission.
C(2b): But that's what happened, isn't it? I got another person caught up in this...
sfx: squeeze...

97)
C: I'm scared...
S: Chidori...
C(2b): of myself...and of them...
C(2b): And...I'm really sorry, but...

98)
C: I'm scared of you too.

99)
C(2b): I like you, but I'm scared! I like you so much I can't take it, but I'm scared!
C: I'm just so panicked right now I don't know what to do...
S(2b): ...that's right. There's no way she could be able to handle all this. Not in front of such a gruesome battlefield...

100)
S: Chidori's just a normal 17-year old girl.
C: A text message...it's from Kyouko.
C: ...no...
C: no...this can't be...
C: Nooo...Sousuke!!
S: What's wrong?!

101)
C: Kyouko's...everyone at school has been...!!
S: went to Jindai High...?!

[Volume 5]

Translators Notes: (Avatar @ Illuminati Manga)

#1 This is not a 100% word for word J-E translation as I find that it works poorly with conversion.
That being said, it is actually extremely close to the original Japanese dialogue.
(more so than lot of scanlations that I've seen)

#2 I have also tried to simulate the appropriate language tone to match the characters where possible.
(Proofreaders/Editors, please keep this in mind if you make any changes because I disagree
with changes that sound out of character)
Please also DON'T add dialogue that doesn't even exist in the original text.
(I prefer a J/E bilingual to check over my translations........)

#3 I really don't like translating sound effects so I will avoid these from now on. (any complaints to GGPX please)

Sagara: Leonard Testarossa.....

( Leonard is the member of , and Tessa's older brother.....)
( Why is he here!? )

Sagara: Slowly raise your hands and stand up... if you dont......

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P012

Leonard: You'll shoot?
Lets stop the usual protocol... I don't want to say the same thing.

Sagara: What do you mean?

Leonard: This.

( .... Thats !! )

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P013

( Miniturised lifesize AS !!)

Leonard: but you still think that you can shoot before my "guard" can move right?

Sagara: ........

Leonard: Its no use, Sagara Sousuke-kun.
You seem to be a capable assasin but...

P015

( That black coat..... is "active" bulletproof vest....? )
( What about with a higher firepower than Grock.....
Can a rifle get through? but hand grenade should.... )

Chidori: SOUSUKE!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
P016

Chidori: Stop!! He is Tessa's older brother!!

(..... Why?)

Chidori: I don't know why you are here but please leave my room!!
( He is the enemy. Why can't I shoot? )
Leonard: I just came to talk. Could that "guard dog" of yours keep calm for a while?

Sousuke: I'll show you if I'm just a guard dog or not.
Chidori: Stop it Sousuke!!
Leonard: I won't tell you to lower the gun. Just listen to what I have to say.

Chidori: Sousuke....
( Why....)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P017

(Why does she stop me!?)
Sagara: .... speak.

Leonard: My business is simple.
Chidori Kaname-san, can you abandon this lifestyle and come with me?

Chidori: .... What did you say?

Leonard: I'll promise you a wealthy and troublefree lifestyle.
There is a facility to satisfy your knowledge, and most importantly its complete freedom.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P018

Chidori: What are you talking about.... Do you think I'm a fool?

Leonard: Ok. I'll get to the point.

Leonard: My organisation has decided to get serious.

Leonard: worked too hard. Especially Tessa's West Pacific division.

Leonard: 7 , 1 , 13 , 12 stolen .... its all been one sided.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P019

Leonard: Thats the problem.
Until now, the organisation didn't consider as a threat but
it has now become necessary to remove its edge.

Sagara: Edge?
Leonard: Surely you know?

Leonard: Your submarine , and that white AS.....
I think its called ?

Sagara: I don't need to answer.

Leonard: .... What a pity. I don't think we can become friends.

Sagara: If you intend to continue with this nonsense, this discussion is finished.
Leonard: Ok. Anyway thats the situation. I was hoping for them to "retire" in a more pleasant manner.....

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P020

Leonard: But its now past the point of saying "retire" or "control".
We will simply crush the enemy and steal the "YOBU".

Sagara: "Yobu"......?
Leonard: Thats her code name. Don't worry about it.

Chidori: You mean you'll destroy , and take me away?

Leonard: The organisation already intends to take you by any means necessary.
But I didn't want the bloodshed so I came here to pick you up.

Chidori: To negotiate beforehand.....?

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P21

Leonard: Yes, because I love you.

Leonard: Come.....

Sagara: You've got a lot of nerve....

( You..... )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P022

Chidori: Wait Sousuke!!
Sagara: Why.
Chidori: Just wait!!

Chidori: ..... I understand. Thank you for your offer.
but I have school to go to and I like this lifestyle.

Chidori: Besides that, I have no intention of going with you!!

Chidori: I already said it a number of times that I hate you!! Leave now!!

( Chidori....? )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P023

Leonard: So harsh... are you still angry about that?
You said that you'd forgive me.

Chidori: Didn't you hear? go away!!

( What? about that? forgive? What about? )

Leonard: Why don't you just accept it?

Leonard: You have been chosen, and you are beyond a genious.
Yet people only think to take advantage of us....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P024

Chidori: ..... Stop.

Leonard: You should have noticed already....
How mundane and stupid the people around you are.
Leonard: Aren't you actually irritated at their intelligence?

Chidori: LEAVE!

Leonard: Then I will. I gave you the warning.

Leonard: Oh yes, I saw it on the news recently that a mass-murderer was arrested in Britain.
Apparently he killed 35 people, Sagara-kun.

Sagara: What about it?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P025

Leonard: I only did a quick check but you've killed atleast 3 times that, over 100 people.

Chidori: .......!!
Leonard: Yet you are liked by many people. I wonder why that is.

Leonard: By her too...

Sagara: Its ok now Chidori.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P026

Sagara: Chidori ....?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P027

Chidori: S... sorry. I'm ok.
Lets not worry about what he said.

Sagara: Sure...

[ Melida Island ]

Sagara: ... so for her safety, we need to move her there immediately.
Kalinin: Ok. Hold off till tomorrow morning.
I'll send over a helicopter.
Sagara: Tomorrow morning?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P028

Sagara: Please arrange this sooner using a designated route.
If you consider that the enemy could break through our defences here at any time....

Kalinin: Thats the point Sergeant. You should assume that our evacuation plans
have been anticipated already.

Sagara: I see.....
Kalinin: You are the SRT, surely you've made some preparations?
Use that. Over.
Sagara: Understood. I'll try.

Tessa: I thought that something like this would happen one day....
Kalinin: Yes Captain,
But this was arranged based on Chidori kaname's own requests.

( My brother is serious about getting Kaname-san. Not just her body but her heart as well.
This sounds much deeper than a simple love game. )

(.... I doubt that he will easily let the two escape.... )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P029

Tessa: Lets send out the as well.
Kalinin: Isn't the helicopter sufficient for a covert retrieval?

Tessa: Its possible that the enemy has .
There is no point in holding back at this point.
Kalinin: ... Understood.

Tessa: Sagara-san said "The enemy has become serious". Could this also be interpreted as anxious?
Kalinin: I do not know. However, we have caused them damage to bring about such reaction.

Tessa: Yes... but
I doubt that they will be satisfied with just this....

[ Sydney HQ Argyross ]

Man: Good morning Sir.
General: Good morning Captain. Its quite hot this morning.

General: I've worked out about 80% of the current situation.
Something is also wrong with Armit.
Consider any information from the intelligence division in a similar manner.

Man: You mean General Armit...?
General: I don't know. Sir Malory is as usual. It might be time for us to pull out of here.

General: It will get hectic from now on Captain.
The enemy chain of command is completely different to the norm.
Standard communication and weapon systems are useless against them.

General: Just like what Tessa said.....

Chidori: Hmmmm.....

Chidori: Hwaa.....
What time is it now.....?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P034

Sagara: Just before 8AM.
Did you get any sleep?
Chidori: Yeah.... I want to have a bath.

Sagara: Forget it. You'd better eat this. Its breakfast.

Chidori: Hey....
Sagara: There is some milk & vegetable juice in the bag by your feet.
Drink it. It might help with your stamina.

Chidori: .... but helicopter is picking us up right?
Sagara: Thats the plan, but this is just incase.

( The helicopter should land on this parking lot but.. )
Chidori: I'm changing so don't look back.
( Another 10 minutes..... I hope nothing happens in the meantime... )

Sagara: Ok.

Chidori: .... but this is bad...
I didn't get to bring much and I'm worried about feeding the hamster.... )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P035

Chidori: So, when can we get back?

Sagara: Thats.... well....

( Return? To the lifestyle like before? )

( Thats impossible now, Chidori. )

Chidori: ..... What?

( is serious. There is no where to return here. )

Sagara: Chidori....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P036

( Drop everything and...... )

Chidori: Eh... what?
I couldn't hear.

( run away with me. )

---------------------------------------------------------------

Leonard: You've killed atleast 100 people.

( Thats right.... my hands are stained with blood )
( I tried to act like a normal high school student for the past 9 months but )

---------------------------------------------------------------

( Nothing has changed. I'm just a mass murderer to Chidori.)

Sousuke: No... its nothing.

Chidori: ... ok.

Chidori: ..... Its quiet.

Chidori: Hey, can I turn on the radio?
Sagara: Sure, keep the volume low.

{ This building is the HQ of security company ... }

Chidori: Whats this....
{ We are unsure at this stage if this is an accident or a terrorist attack. }
( Mithril's Operational HQ was attacked? )

( What about Melida Island..... )

Someone: This is command center.
Sousuke: What is the current situation?
Someone: Unknown. Unable to contact Operational HQ, Mediterranean division or the South Atlantic division.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Someone: 5 minutes ago, there was a warning that number of cruise missles were heading towards the base in India.
Uruz 7, I am switching with Lieutenant Cruizo.
Sousuke: Understood.

Cruizo: Its me Sergeant.
Its unthinkable, but this is an all out attack. Melida Island is on full alert.
You will meet with Gebo 9, and wait for further instructions at Romeo 13.

(Romeo 13.... Ozakiwara Island.)
( so I won't make it even if I head to Melida Island now.)

Cruizo: Listen Sergeant. Protect and at all costs.
Sousuke: Understood. Please be careful.

Chidori: What happened?
Sousuke: We will not be going to Melida-Island anymore. Its dangerous there.

Chidori: What do you mean its dangerous?
Sousuke: This is Uruz 7. Gebo 9, LZ is secure.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P040

Santos: Gebo 9 has just passed over Atsugi area.

Santos: ETA 5 minutes. Please continue to secure LZ.

Sousuke: Uruz 7. Understood. LZ is currently....

Richard: Its not a situation to consider war under normal circumstances, but....

Cruizo: I believe these were designed as anti-AS gunboats.
Its main objective is to eradicate our last strength, the AS.

Kurz: Hey hey, wait a sec.
There is no way that we can take on 3 of those huge things.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P083

Mao: We don't have any choice!!

Speck: Are you telling us to "die"?

Cruiz: If reaches land, it will destroy , our only escape route.

Cruizo: If that happens, everyone on this isolated island have to suicide.

Mao: Defeating is our min condition for survival.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P084

Speck: Hmmm...

Speck: Then what about this?
Mao: What? Corporal Speck?

Speck: Lets forget about this losing battle and just head over to the command center with our rifles.

Mao: .....Stop it, Speck.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P085

Speck: I'm sure the enemy will consider if we offered to hand over Tessa and unharmed.

Cruizo: If you say another word.... thats fleeing the enemy and treason.
Speck: What are you saying to mercenaries? Lets just talk business.

Speck: You saying we should just die for our comrades?
This isn't some stupid Hollywood war movie!!
I don't intend to die in vain!!

Kurz: Die in vain huh...

Man: .... thats probably right.....

Tessa: You'll sell me to the enemy... what a bold suggestion.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P086

Speck: Don't think badly... its just business for us.
Tessa: Thats true.

Tessa: Hand me your gun.
Man: S... sure.

Speck: ..........

Tessa: I'm sure there are others that feel the same way as Speck-san.
However that is unforgivable. I will shoot anyone that intends to defect.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P087

Speck: Hey hey, don't force yourself. I think you're a nice girl but....

Someone: !!

Speck: ........

Tessa: Change your attitude. CORPORAL.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P088

Tessa: Did you think that I would plead with tears for your sympathy and loyalty?

Tessa: The fact that you are here means you all walk the "Path of carnage".
You came here with your own free will. Am I wrong?

Speck: No.....
Tessa: Did you think that I'm just a little princess with a title?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P089

Tessa: SAY IT.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P090

Tessa: WHO I AM. MY POSITION AND RANK.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P091

Speck: You're...

Speck: Captain Teletha Testarossa. Commander of .

Speck: My sincere apologies.... that was a poor joke.
Tessa: Apology accepted.

Tessa: The enemy intends to eradicate itself.
I doubt that there are any plans for negotiations.

Tessa: Corporal Speck, your team needs your skills.
I will clear your record for treason if everyone returns alive.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P092

Speck: .... alive? Where is there a hope for that?

Tessa: Make one if it doesn't exist.
Read the report that I gave, and think about what needs to be done.

Tessa: I think you have misunderstood, but
I have never ordered anyone to [Die].

Tessa: Not before.... or from now on.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P093

Tessa: I order you. SURVIVE.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P094

Everyone: YES MA'AM!

Tessa: Best of luck.

Kurz: Whew....
Speck: Ok, I'm sorry. I was just frustrated thats all.
surely everyone considered it a little?

Everyone: ....yeah.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P095

Cruizo: .... its been pretty much one sided so far.

Cruizo: Just as she said, lets use our heads a bit more before giving up and desperate measures.
Everyone: Understood!!

[ Tokyo ]

AL: Unable to detect any traces of the enemy.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P096

Sousuke: Ok AL. Remain on guard, Mode 4.
AL: Understood Sergeant.

Sousuke: Have you calmed down?

Chidori: Yeah. I'm ok.... but....

Chidori: Santos-san died trying to rescue me didn't he.

Sousuke: Thats wrong. It was duty.

Chidori: But thats the real truth isn't it?
Lot of people got dragged into this......

---------------------------------------------------------------
P097

Chidori: I'm scared....

Sousuke: Chidori....

Chidori: of myself.... of them.... and I'm sorry but...

---------------------------------------------------------------
P098

Chidori: of you as well.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P099

Chidori: I love you but I'm afraid.
I really love you, but I still feel afraid.
I'm in such a panic right now that I don't know what to do....

( .... yeah, there is no way that she could handle this... facing such a grim situation. )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P100

( She is just a normal 17 year old girl. )

Chidori: Mail from Kyoko.

Chidori ...... no...

Chidori: No..... no way....

# Next chapter #

---------------------------------------------------------------
P103

[ "Bombs similar to the one wrapped around your friend has been planted all over school" ]

[ "If you want to save them, come to the school without the AS" ]

[ " If you don't comply, we will detonate the bombs." ]

---------------------------------------------------------------
P104

Sousuke: Chidori.....

Sousuke .....

Sousuke: I know its shocking... but
Chidori: Actually, I knew already.....

Chidori: that this lifestyle wouldn't last forever.
That one day the enemy would mess everything up and take me away.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P105

Chidori: Its all my fault.

Chidori: If I went along with him yesterday, none of this would have happened.

Sousuke: You're wrong. Its not your fault.
Besides, everyone are still safe. Its not a problem if we just save them.

Chidori: .... save them?

Chidori: What are you talking about?
There is no way that we can do that!!

---------------------------------------------------------------
P106

Chidori: There are multiple bombs all over school besides Kyoko, and they were planted by
professionals.
There is no way that we can find it....

Sousuke: If we use the electronic camoflauge of .....
Chidori: Its no use.

Chidori: With the kind of gear that the enemy has, it wouldn't be strange if they had a
wide area molecular spectral sensor, magnetic sensors and interference detection microphones....

Chidori: and even if the AS could identify the locations, it would be impossible
to disarm them if they are nuclear maginetic sensitive detonators.

Sousuke: I'm sorry Chidori.... I don't understand what you are talking about.....

Chidori: You don't understand?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P107

Chidori: So you're just "like them"...

Sousuke: Chidori.....

Chidori: Don't look at me like that. Its like you're making fun of me.
.... Honestly, everyone is so dumb that its really irritating....

Sousuke: CHIDORI!!

---------------------------------------------------------------
P108

Sousuke: That is because of your ability that causes your
intelligence to exceed well above that of normal people.
Don't look down on others. Accept your own illness.

Chidori: .... You think that you gained the upper hand by looking concerned to demonstrate your superior mental state?
Its so simplistic that you make me laugh.

Sousuke: You said before.... that you are afraid of me. You love me, but still afraid.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P109

Sousuke: I love you too.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P110

Sousuke: But I'm afraid.
yet I still feel attracted to you.
I don't get it.
Its been like this from the moment we first met.
Something like this has never happened before.

Sousuke: You are the reason why my life has changed.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P111

Sousuke: I will protect you.
As well as the world that you associate with.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P112

Sousuke: Thats my "Duty".

Sousuke: Please help me rescue Tokiwa.
I'll make it happen just like in the past.

Chidori: Do you really think that you can save everyone?

Sousuke: Ofcourse, if we're together.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P113

Chidori: I don't think its possible.

Chidori: Its best to just surrender.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P114

Someone: This is HQ. The attack has crippled most of the upper sections of the base.
However, the dock for is still functional.

Transferring the locations of A,B,C.

Cruizo: Uruz 1 to Cane 13, head to Gebo 3's crash site.
Someone: Cane 13, affirmative.
Cruizo: Remaining units, prepare to target B.
Uruz 2 and 1 will keep A and C occupied.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P116

Mao: Uruz 2. Affirmative.
They're pretty ugly for dance partners.
Weber: Are you ok, nee-san. You know they're dangerous right?

Mao: Did you forget that Uruz 1 and 2 are equipped with tactical remote control systems?
Weber: Ahh, you mean you'll use those training purpose M6 as bait..

---------------------------------------------------------------
P117

Mao: Ok lets go Friday!!
AI: Yes lieutenant!!

Mao: Set Control systems to XA-1.

( Lamda Driver cut in.... )
Mao: Damn.... its still unharmed...

Mao: Uruz 2 to all teams, attack was ......
( We don't have any means to damage ... )

Mao: ..... no wait....

Mao: It worked...?
( Like I thought. 6 months ago, Kurz managed to damage that unit with a rifle. )
( If we can strike by surprise..... we have a means to fight back... )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P122

( Its still too early to lose hope!! )

Mao: Uruz 2 to all units. Damage was minimal, but that huge AS was damanged!!
We can do this!!
All: Affirmative!!

Kalinin: This is Path 1. Enemy reinforcements are heading this way from the SE.
It will become close range battle within 15 minutes.

Kalinin: If we can't take care of the by then, we will all perish.

Mao: Those 3 units in just 10 minutes?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P123

( What a ridiculous request.... )

Mao: Its going to be rough 15 minutes.....

Weber: They're blasting everything unhinded.... damn.
Someone: B has entered area HO. It will reach line C in 60 sec....

( Nee-san and Cruizo are keeping 2 of the 3 units preoccupied )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P124

( Remaining M9 units will focus on just 1 unit. )

Weber: But.....

Weber: What a pressure, knowing that everything rests on my shots....

[ Briefing before the mission ]

Woman: Lamda Driver is not perfect.

Woman: The strength of its protective field will depend on the concentration of the pilot.
It should be possible to cause damage if you can shoot unexpectedly.
Kurz: Well it worked last time but it still wasn't enough to disable it.

Kurz: There is only 1 chance.... so I'd have to penetrate the cockpit with just 1 shot.
Woman: The head area containing the cockpit is heavily fortified.
We do not have enough firepower to kill the pilot with a single shot.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P125

Kurz: Actually thats not impossible you know?

Kurz: This is Uruz 6. All members of team red, report your status.
Someone: This is Uruz 5. I'm ready anytime.
Someone: Uruz 10, ready in 20 sec.
Kurz: What about you Uruz 8?

Someone: We've got no other choice. I'm ready.

Kurz: OK. lets get a shot at that bastard!!

---------------------------------------------------------------
P126

Kurz: Activating .
AI: Yes Sergeant. is active.

Woman: I will equipt Kurz's AS with . It wil display the lamda driver levels.

( Distance 2500m. W-SW wind 12m. Temperature: 22degrees. Humidity: 83% )

( Visibility is poor. Wind is also different from the ground and sea level.
Enemy movement is uneven.... damn damn damn.....!! )

( I doubt that there is anyone on this planet that could successuly shoot with this level of difficulty. )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P127

Speck: Whats wrong Kurz... don't tell me you've got the vibes?

Kurz: As if.
Speck: If it all goes well, I'll make you rich.

Speck: After this incident, the price for potatoes will rise from next week.
Give me 50,000, I'll increase it by 20x.
Kurz: What are you saying at a time like this, idiot.

Kurz: And what does that bastard and potatoes have in common?
Speck: It'll take too long to explain. Just fuck that thing.
Kurz: Alright.

Speck: Don't screw up ok?
After this, it'll be a high class resort in Florida with Lotus and bikini girls.
Kurz: I don't like Lotus.

Someone: Then a Ferrari.
Kurz: Nice....

Richard: Uruz 8 is KIA.

Richard: It was unfortunate about Corporal Speck, but...

Tessa: Yes... we must reorganize our forces at once.

Richard: My apologies....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P147

( It seems that I was the one that was soft, general ).

Mao: This is Uruz 2. Damage to the right leg. It won't for much longer.

Tessa: Affirmative Uruz 2. I'll send over the remaining forces of team red.

[ Northern coast of Melida Island ]

AI: Leiutenant, I recommend retreating to outside of the combat area.

P152

Kurz: I destroyed the main weapon but 30mm is still active.

Mao: I can't.... besides.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P153

Costello: Thats an order, Lieutenant!!

Mao: MAJOR!!

[ Tokyo ]

( Chidori's recommendation is correct )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P154

( The probability of saving 99 people by sacrificing 1 person is 99% )
( The probability of saving both 1 person and 99 people is just 1 % )

( Which is right? There is nothing to think about )

( However to me, that one person is irreplacable )

Chidori: There is no time left.... lets go...

( 99 people are important but she is more important than that )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P155

( If I have to hand over that 1 person... )

Sousuke: Chidori.
Chidori: What?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P156

( I don't care if the world gets destroyed )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P157

Sousuke: ARY, we will be going to Jindai High school.
Locate and disable the bombs around the school

ARU: I have not fully grasped the current situation.... however this is clearly
not a wise decision. I recommend a reconsideration.

Sousuke: Unwise... thats true.
However I don't know what else to do.

( If they can accept this email, I can gain the initiative )
( The enemy is a professional. Surely this proposal is acceptable )
( They should be willing.. )

Sousuke ..........

---------------------------------------------------------------
P158

( OK!! )

Sousuke: What are your requests?

Sousuke: My safety and securing an escape route.
I will designate the time and location.

Someone: Ok.... we are fine as long as we can secure Chidori Kaname.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P159

Sousuke: At 11:00, I will station the AS on standby by Sengawa City, 2nd districts abandoned factory with a open hatch.
I will make Chidori Kaname head alone towards Sengawa station 2km away.
Sousuke: Once the transaction is complete, I will disappear.

Someone: Ok. However if there is any irregularities, I will activate all the bombs at the school.
Sousuke: As I said in the email, thats not going to affect me.

Someone: Oh really?
I've lost 10 subordinates.... I'd like to make you suffer as well....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P160

Sousuke: Im not interested. I'm cutting the call.

Sousuke: ARU, once we move Chidori, we'll head towards Jindai High.
ARU Affirmative.

( Chidori, you'll probably not forgive me for this decision )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P161

( but I couldn't think of any other alternative )

( I'll keep the promise )

( I'll protect those that are associated with you )

( I don't have a single ally but I'll do it )

Sousuke: Lets go ARU.
ARU: Affirmative Sergeant.

===================================================================
P172

This is Full Metal Sigma Vol 5.
I think that this section is the most significant section for the flow of the storyline from now to the next volume.
It is no longer possible to return to the short stories so it may be unfortunate for the fans that like the comedy and slap stick.
That being said, I'll probably include some short stories within the long storylines so don't worry.

Next volume will finally conclude the "Continue on my own" storyline.
That "AS" will show up near the end.
It was quite difficult drawing it (laugh).
Please look forward to the climatic Vol 6.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P173

Man: You did quite well on your own.

ARU: I have a feeling that you and I will have to say goodbye.

(Sousuke's 10 months has began to crumble with certaintly )

Man: I guess that means goodbye?

11)
M: Leonard Testarossa...
M(2b): A member of , Tessa's older brother, Leonard...what is he doing in Chidori's room?!
M(2b): Slowly lower both hands and stand. If you fail to comply with my orders...

12)
L: You'll shoot me, right?
L: What do you say we skip the diplomacy we're both so used to? I don't want to have to say the same thing to you.
M: What do you mean?
L: Exactly what I said.
sfx: *sway*...
M: ...that's!!

13)
S: the super-compact life-sized AS, !!
sfx: whirr
L: You think you can shoot me between the eyes before I move, don't you?
L: I'm afraid that's impossible, Sagara Sousuke-kun.
L: No matter how great an assassin you may appear...

14)
sfx: bababam
sfx: bssht! bssht!

15)
sfx: whizz x2
sfx: krak krak krak
S: That black coat...it's like an "active" bulletproof suit...?
S: Maybe if I had something stronger than a Glock...would a rifle work? No, maybe a hand grenade...
?: Sousuke!!

16)
C: Stop this!! That's Tessa's big brother!!
S: ...why?
C: I don't know what you want, but would you mind please getting out of my room?!
S: This man is our enemy. What's wrong with shooting him?
L(2b): Tonight I merely came to talk. Now if you don't mind, would you care to quiet down that little guard dog of yours?
S: You can decide for yourself if I'm really a little guard dog or not after this next shot.
C: Stop it, Sousuke!!
L(2b): I won't tell you to drop your weapon. I just want you to listen to me.
C: Sousuke...
S: Why...?

17)
S: Why am I being scolded?!
S: ...let me go.
L: My request is simple.
L: Chidori Kaname-san, will you please throw away your life here and come with me?
C: ...what'd you say?
L(3b): In return, I will promise you a life of affluence and relative freedom. I have already prepared an establishment capable of fulfilling your intellectual interests. It's the most free you will ever be.

18)
C(2b): I don't get what you're saying. Are you trying to make fun of me?
L: Fine, I will explain it all in a bit more detail.
L: My organization has just recently gotten serious.
L(2b): Mithril's really been working too hard lately -- especially Tessa's Western Pacific Battle Group.
L: 7 s, 1 ,
L(2b): 13 s, and 12 stolen s...all of them ours, of course.

19)
L: Such effort was ill devised.
L: Until now, our organization hadn't put serious consideration into the existence of , but there has now appeared a moderate necessity to nip off its branches.
S: Branches...?
L: You understand, don't you?
L: Your submarine, the , and that white AS.
L: It would be the..., correct?
S: I'm not required to answer you.
L(2b): ...how unfortunate. It doesn't look like we'll be able to become friends.
S: If you only intend on wasting our time with trivial jokes, I'm going to have to cut this discussion off.
L(2b): Fine. That's that, I suppose. Ideally, I wanted her exit to happen in a different fashion...

20)
L: But the time to be talking about things like "exit" and "defense" has passed.
L(2b): I will now crush my enemy, and snatch away Job.
S: Job...?
L: Her codename. You needn't worry yourself about it.
C: You mean you're going to defeat and kidnap me?
L: Our organization intends to seize you, even if it means taking violent measures to do so.
L: I dislike bloodshed, however, so I came here to invite you myself.
C: You came to try and convince me before something serious happens...?

21)
L: Yes, because I've taken a liking to you.
L: Come...
S: You're sure full of yourself...
S: Son of a...!

22)
sfx: chack
C: Wait, Sousuke!
S: Why?
C: Just wait a minute!!
C: ...I get it, I get it, thanks for being so nice and cordial.
C: But I have school, you know, and I also happen to like my life here.
C: More importantly, however, I've have to be out of my mind to go along with someone like you!!
C(2b): I've said this over and over again, but I'll just have to say it once more: I despise you!! Now get out of here at once!!
S: Chidori...?

23)
L(2b): How cold...are you stil mad over THAT? I thought you said you'd forgive me.
C(2b): Didn't you hear me?! Disappear!!
S(2b): What's he talking about? THAT? Forgive? What's going on here?!
L: Why don't you just accept things already?
sfx: bssh
L: You are one of the chosen ones, already a human possessing a level intelligence greater than any genius.
L: And yet, all people ever think about is using flattery to take advantage of us.

24)
C: ...stop this.
L(2b): You must have realized it by now...how vacuous and foolish all the people around you are.
L: Everything right down to the evil of the way their blood circulates irritates you, doesn't it?
C: Get out!!
L: In that case, I will. I've already warned you, after all.
sfx: bzzt
L(2b): Oh, that's right. I just saw news on TV about the arrest of the criminal who committed that mass murder in England...he apparently killed 35, Sagara-kun.
S: So what?

25)
L: After some simple investigating, I found out that you've killed at least 100, easily three times that amount.
C: Tss...!!
L: And yet you're still liked by so many people. Why, I wonder...?
L: Even by her...
sfx: click
sfx: clack
S: It's alright now, Chidori.

26)
S: Chidori...?
sfx: *quiver*

27)
C(2b): S...sorry, it's fine. There's no reason to worry about anything that comes out of the mouth of a guy like that.
S: Yeah...
B: Merida Island
?: ...and so, I think it would be safest to send Chidori Kaname over to you immediately.
O(2b): Understood, but wait until tomorrow morning. We'll send a transport helicopter out by then.
?: Tomorrow morning?!

28)
S: Please use the designated route and send one out sooner.
S: Considering that the enemy could break through our guard at any time now...
?: That is exactly why we're doing this, Sergeant. We should assume that our escape plan has been completely seen through.
S: Ah...
?(2b): You're part of the SRT too, aren't you? You should be properly equipped for these types of situations. Use whatever you can. That is all.
S: Understood, I will do my best.
F: I had a feeling something like this would happen...
?: I understand, Captain.
?: These measures, however, have been taken under respect to Chidori Kaname's wishes.
F(2b): Brother is really trying to possess Kaname-san...and not just her body, but her heart as well. This isn't fleeting passion...I can feel something deeper, darker lurking here...
F: ...I doubt he'll allow them to run away so easily like that...

29)
F: Let's send out as well.
?: If all we need to do is secretly pick the two of them up, shouldn't a helicopter be enough?
F(2b): There's a possibility the enemy might have their ready. It won't hurt to be extra-prepared.
?: ...understood.
F(2b): ...Sagara-san said "the enemy's gotten serious," didn't he? Does that mean it's safe for us to assume they're getting a bit hasty?
?: I'm not sure. But we've done more than enough by now to warrant their irritation.
F: Indeed. However...
F: I do not believe this incident is all our enemy has planned.

30)
Box: Sidney - HQ - Argyros
E: Good morning, sir.
S: Morning, Captain. Today's a hot one too, I see.
S: We have about 80% confirmation so far.
S(2b): Amit's been acting strange lately. Add that into your report to the intelligence department.
E: Could General Amit be...?
S: I'm not sure. Lord Mallory is up to his usual as well, so it may soon be time for us to move out here.
S(2b): Things are going to get busy, Captain. The enemy's chain of command is entirely different from what we're used to, you know.
S: Normal information networks and arms systems are useless against .
S: Things may end up going exactly the way Tessa said they would...

32)
Box: Choufu City,Tokyo - Plant Garden parking Lot - 7:46 AM
S(2b): The possibility of thorough tracking is out of the question, so we should be safe for now.
S: I didn't have any intention of counting on for this...but I assume that at the time of Leonard's invasion, she was rendered powerless.
C: Mmm...
sfx: stir...
C: fuaahh...
C: What time is it...?

33)
S: Just a little until eight. Did you get some sleep?
C: Yeah...I want to take a bath...
S(2b): Forget about it. More importantly, have some breakfast.
C: Wha...
S(2b): There is milk and vegetable juice in the bag at your feet. Drink up, this may become a battle of stamina.
C: ...but they're going to send a helicopter for us, right?
S: They should, but you never know...
S: The helicopter should come down right in this parking lot.
C: Hey, I'm going to change real quick, so don't look back here, alright?
S: Only ten minutes left...as long as there are no movements, everything should be fine...
S: Understood.
sfx: greeh
C: ...hmmm, this is a problem.
C: I didn't really bring that many extra clothes, and I'm worried about my hamster's food...

34)
C: When will we be back?
S(2b): That's....well...
S: Come back? To everything...?
S: I think that's become impossible now, Chidori.
C: ...what?
S: has gotten serious.
S: There is no longer any place for you to return to in this town.
S: Chidori...

35)
S: Throw away everything, and...
C: Eh...what?
C: I didn't hear you.
S: run away with me.

36)
L: You've at least killed over 100.
S: That's right. My hands are too dirtied with blood.
S(2b): For the past nine months, I've tried my hardest to lead a normal life as a high schooler, in a peaceful town, but...

37)
S(2b): Nothing's changed. To Chidori, I'm a murderous monster.
S(2b): No...nothing.
C: ...oh.
sfx: chirp chirp chirp
C: ...it's quiet.

38)
C: Hey, can I turn on the radio?
S: Sure, but keep it quiet.
sfx: bzzz
R(2b): We have just received a special report. According to AP Communications, at 7:00 AM Japan time this morning, an explosion along with flames erupted from around the 25th floor of a building in Sydney.
R: The building in question is , the headquarters of a defense company--
C: What is this...
sfx: bzzzzz
sfx: bzz
R: Whether this was an accident or a terrorist attack remains unclear.
S: Aerial bombing?! On the HQ...
S: Merida Island...
?: Yes, this is the command center.
sfx: bzzz
S: What's the situation?
?(2b): We're not sure. Communications are down with the HQ, along with the center and southern fleets...
sfx: bzzzz
sfx: bzz bzzzz

39)
sfx: bzz
sfx: bzz bzzzz
?(2b): Five minutes ago, we received a report of a number of cruiser missiles heading for the Indian Ocean Fleet base. Now transferring Uruz-7 over to Lieutenant Clouzot.
sfx: bzzbzz
S: Understood.
C(2b): It's me, Sergeant. It may be hard to believe, but it appears this is a widespread attack. Merida Island has also gone into warning mode.
C: You need to unite with Gebo 9 at point Romeo 13 and wait for further instructions.
S(2b): Romeo 13...the private land on Ogasawara Archipelago...
sfx: bzzbzz
C(2b): Got it, Sergeant? Protect and with your life. Over and out.
sfx: bzzzzz
S: Understood, you be careful over there too.
C: What's going on?
S(2b): We will no longer be going to Merida Island. It's in danger now.
sfx: beep
C: Danger...what do you mean?
S: This is Uruz-7. Requesting Gebo 9's LZ.

40)
sfx: bzzz
C: Gebo-9 is currently in flight over Atsugi.
sfx: bzzbzz
sfx: whizzzz
?: ETA: 5 minutes. Now requesting your LZ.
S: Understood. Uruz-7's LZ is...
S(2b): ...to Gebo 9: Uruz-7 is currently surrounded. There are at least 5 and...at least 8 soldiers armed with assault rifles.
sfx: bzbzbzzzz
?: Shit, what?! So not just Merida Island, but over there as well...
sfx: bzbzz

41)
S: Please hurry, we're counting on you.
?: ...can we really take them? It'll be at least 1 vs 13 -- no, more than that!
sfx: kachik
sfx: bzzbzzbzzzz
sfx: bzzzz
?: Gebo-9, understood. Try to hold out over there, Sousuke!!
?(2b): It's pretty much impossible -- but there's no other choice.
C: Sousuke...?
S: I'm sorry, Chidori.
S: This is going to be a long 5 minutes...!

[Volume 3]

Translators Notes:
#1 This is not 100% word for word J-E translation as I find that it works poorly with conversion
I have also tried to simulate the appropriate language tone where possible.

#2 I really don't like translating sound effects so I will just do the literal equivalent with the alphabet
then let the editors decide what to do with the "sounds".
I will also generally ignore the background sounds.
(In my opinion, it just looks stupid in English like those Marvin comics)

You'll have to trust your subordinates.

( This is different from a normal mission.... )

Are you trying to lecture me now?

Hehehehehehehehe.

Sousuke: .... What do you want?

Gaolun: I just wanted to speak with you.
{ Gotsu~ }
Sousuke: Get real!!

Gaolun: Its the truth.
I knew that you'd be called out if I borrowed from the organisation and cause a riot here.

Sousuke: !!

P030

Assasin: Good bye Sensei.

Sousuke: That voice.... from the phone.
Gaolun: Thats right. Long time ago, I looked after
2 sisters who were in a similar situation like you. Rena is the younger sister.

Gaolun: Either case, she'll die either fighting or
by the assault squad from .

Sousuke: Amalgam?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P031

Gaolun: Thats the name of the organisation I was working for.
Its objective is R&D of the latest weapon and its practical trials.
For that, they'll resort to terrorist activity and regional disputes.

Sousuke: Including the incident here in Hong Kong?
{ Gwoooon~} x2
Gaolun: This was just instigated by myself with the 2 sisters.
I'm sure is in a bit of panic right now.

Sousuke: ..............
Gaolun: No more questions?
I'm offering a real bargain right now~

Sousuke: Does that organisation have an individual classified as a ?

Gaolun: Yeah, a kid is one of the top members.

Gaolun: Thats all I'm saying on this topic.
Its boring and thats not the main issue here.

Sousuke: WHERE is based??
WHAT are the names of its members?
Gaolun: You're really dedicated with your job....
Maybe you're just getting annoyed working for a peace keeping organisation called ~~~??

Gaolun: You came alone...... was there some "trouble" between your friends?

How unnatural it is to be with .

Sousuke: Kashim.

Gaolun: As you cleaned up the burnt bodies, your eyes looked really great.
It was like the eye of a Saint.... no sign of doubt or pain.

Gaolun: You killed others just like taking a breath.

Taking down just 1 unit isn't enough so we're going
to take you guys down as well.

Postscript Mission 3:

Thank you, this is Full Metal Sigma Vol 3.
[ Ending day by day ] series has ended peacefully at last.
Sousuke, who seemed unstable upto the final moment has
finally started to act like the hero. I suppose
this is the characteristic for the leading character?

That being said, the real hero might actually
be Kaname instead (LOL!)

Tessa's appearance was minimal for this series so I've
decided to use her for the postscript image.
The A.S in the background is designed specifically for Tessa
( Its made to withstand damage from falling over )

From Vol 4 onwards, there will be a few small series before
returning to the long series once again.
Please look foward to it!

[English] [Translation] Full Metal Panic! Sigma Volume 2 by avatar

*** Full Metal Panic: Sigma ***

[Volume 2]

Translators Notes:
#1 This is not 100% word for word J-E translation as I find that it works poorly with conversion
I have also tried to simulate the appropriate language tone where possible.

#2 I really don't like translating sound effects so I will just do the literal equivalent with the alphabet
then let the editors decide what to do with the "sounds".
I will also generally ignore the background sounds.
(In my opinion, it just looks stupid in English like those Marvin comics)

Cruizo: So you're just a useless dog afterall...

[ Oct 20th, 19:05 (West Pacific Standard time ) ]
[ Melida Island Base - Command Center ]

Richard: Looks like its over.

Richard: Leutenant Cruizo provoking Sergeant Sagara into
such a babaric combat.......

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P007

Richard: I do not agree with this approach.
Tessa: ...............

[ Few hours ago, Captain's office ]

Cruizo: We should put pressure on Sergeant Sagara.
If he was indignified and provoked into combat....
Tessa: You think that Lamda Driver on the Arvarest will activate?

Cruizo: I have no intention to hold back.
In the worst case, he may not live through it.

Tessa: But thats!!
Cruizo: If he dies by my hands then thats all there was to it
for that man and the defective machine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P008

Cruizo: I'm sure that Operational HQ will no longer decide to rely on that machine.
Tessa: I didn't want them to do this either. However....

Tessa: this is the only way to activate the Lamda Driver.

Richard: Still, nothing happened. This kind of farce was useless.....
Tessa: I'm not sure about that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P009

Tessa: Ms Lemming, what is the analysis on the combat data?
Lemming: Please wait a moment

( Sagara-san, if you knew that you were being treated like a guinea pig.... )
( and that I was the one that was responsible.... )
( You would resent me...... )
(..... probably.... )

( Why does it have to be you...?)
( I wouldn't have to suffer like this if you were not the first to pilot the Arvarest )
Richard: Is it that necessary to rely on the Lamda Driver?

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P010

Richard: A device that cannot activate with 100% certainty when the
trigger is pulled is not what I call a weapon.

Tessa: Are you implying that is defective?

Richard: Yes. I do not like that machine.

Tessa: That is probably how Sergeant Sagara feels.
..... THAT is the problem.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P011

Lemming: Colonel, I have a rough analysis of the data.

Lemming: TAROS is detecting the gamma ray of that brain pattern however,
it is only at very low levels.
Compared to the combat on Perildou Island earlier,
there is still a possibility but it is likely to be insufficient to trigger any activity.....
# I'm not sure of the correct name for the Island .... #

( We didn't get the result we were hoping for.... )
( even after making Sagara-san go through something like that.... )

Tessa: We cannot be 100% certain yet since this data
was collected with improvised materials.
Lets analyse the details carefully over time.

( Its hard for me to face him but.... )
Tessa: I will be having a short break at the medical center.
Please contact me there if you need to.

Richard: Is this to visit the Sergeant?
Tessa: W, what!??? O, ofcourse not!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P012

Lemming: Colonel, please wait a moment.

Lemming: Sydney Operational HQ has reported that Situation B12a
has erupted around area J5-CS

( Terrorist activity involving the A.S in Hong Kong? )

Sousuke: Huh......

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P013

Weber: Hey wake up
Mr useless Sergeant

[ Medical center ]
Weber: You got done as well? What kind of outcome is that!
Sousuke: ... So... I lost.....

Weber: He is totally fine you know.

Weber: That fight was apparently an experiment.
It was a setup between him, Technology and the Operation division.

Weber: I was totally fooled..... damn...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P014

( So me and that A.S are just a guinea pig for now )

( its quite a change for my new duty )

( all they had to do was to order me to "fight" instead of all this setup. )

( That Leutenant didn't even have a strategy during that fight )
( I simply lost by the difference in power. )
( ...... I would have died in a real combat. )

( I couldn't even defend the dignity of Captain McKannen.... what a outcome. )
Cruizo: So you're finally awake Sergeant.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
P015

Cruizo: Submit a report for that earlier "exercise" by 25:00 #I don't know if this is just mistype but it says 25:00#
Starting tomorrow morning at 06:00, you will be doing drills training.
You too Weber
Cruizo: I'm going to retrain all the current A.S. pilots.

Cruizo: I don't want to be accused of being useless by my successor when I endup dying like McAllen.

Sousuke: That attack you used....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P016

Sousuke: Does that black unit have a Lamda Driver?

Cruizo: Heh.

Cruizo: That is a move that combines what the Orientals call "Tooshi" and "Sunkei".
# These are both techniques used in oriental martial arts #

Cruizo: I didn't need a Lamda Driver to defeat you or the .
( So its the same principle for the move he used on Kurz at the bar)....

Cruizo: Your way of fighting has "Skill" but not "art".
Thats because you don't trust the and only handle it
like a car or helicopter.
Sousuke: Why is that a problem?

Cruizo: I'll get to the point.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P017

Cruizo: You despise the .

Cruizo: There is doubt in the movement of your arms and legs.
It lacks focus.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P018

Cruizo: This problem has nothing to do with Lamda Driver.

( Its true. I hate that machine )
( When I fought Gaolun at Perio Republic, Lamda Driver didn't activate )

( Mao nearly died as a result.... )

( I despise having to put my life on the line to fight with that machine )
( That feeling is holding me back.....?? )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P019

Cruizo: The A.S. is an extention of the soldier's body

Cruizo: Remember, a man who does not believe in his own body and ability
cannot defeat his enemies!!
{ Ton....}

Cruizo: Thats all....

Weber: What a guy we've been put with as replacement.
Sousuke: But..... he does have a point.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P020

Sousuke: He's definitely good.
Weber: Well he is a former SAS.
* SAS = British Special Airbourne Division *

Weber: Talk about which, wasn't McAllen also from the SAS?

{Shun}

Mao: This..... was Captain McAllen's room

---------------------------------------------------------------
P021

Cruizo: So I've heard....

Mao: So, it was you after all.

Mao: Is it 1.5 years now?
Cruizo: To be precise, 6 days ago.

Mao: True....

{Shubo}
Cruizo: Did McAllen "Senpai" suffer? #Senpai = Someone who was their superior by rank/age#

Mao: I'm not sure, since no one was by his side when he died.
Cruizo: I see....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P022

{ Dotsu }

Mao: That Black M9...

Mao: Is that the type-D prototype?

Cruizo: Yeah, GEOTRON only built 2 prototype units called .
Basically the same specifications as the standard Type-E and....

Cruizo: its not equipped with a Lamda Driver.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P023

Cruizo: Thats what you wanted to know right?
Mao: Y... yeah....

Cruizo: There was a plan to have it installed but the inventor commited suicide beforehand.
Mao: Then only has the unit?

Cruizo: Yes. Thats why I'm going to thoroughly train that Sergeant and you guys.

Mao: I can understand, but its not like you to do the Spartan method.
Cruizo: I agree.

Cruizo: That guy, Sagara is just like me in the old days.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P024

Cruizo: Arrogant, narrow minded and limits himself in order to fit in with the others.
: He could expand his horizons if he wanted to.

Mao: Could he become like that?
Cruizo: I don't know, but at this rate, he'll die or
endup becoming a real loser.

Mao: Loser?

Mao: As if.... that Sousuke?
Cruizo: I'm tired and going to get some rest. You should go.

Mao: Sure...

---------------------------------------------------------------
P025

Cruizo: Melissa.

Cruizo: Don't mention to the others that McAllen used to be my Superior.
I don't want them to hold back on me.

Mao: As you wish.

ARU: Status check at 17:30 today shows everything is normal.
Would you like to view the past records?
Sousuke: No, I just activated you on a whim.

ARU: Does "whim" have a similar concept to "fun"?
Sousuke:" Huh?

( The AI understand the meaning for "FUN"? )
Sousuke: Who told you about the word "Fun"?

( Strange reaction.... )
Sousuke: According to what I've heard from Second Leutenant Lemming.
Does that bother you?

ARU: Affirmative.
Completion of the ARX system will be difficult without Bani Morauta.
Sousuke: So you admit that you are incomplete?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P050

ARU: Affirmative. However you are also part of the problem.

Sousuke: ..... What do you mean?
ARU: The pilot is also part of the ARX System.
Please tell me your problem.

( This is strange. I cannot believe that a machine AI would normally make such comment )
Sousuke: I don't believe that I have any.

ARU: My "Instinct" tells me that is not the case.

---------------------------------------------------------------

( What kind of prank is this to make a machine say "Instinct". )
Sousuke: Please stop stuffing around.

Sousuke: This is stupid.

ARU: Replaying Bani's message

---------------------------------------------------------------
P052

Bani: To the unknown pilot.
This is the worst scenario for me as
this would mean that I am either dead or incapacitated.
Bani: ARU is a being that co-exists with the Lamda Driver.
It has the ability to understand both happiness and sadness.
Please trust it like your partner.

Bani: If you can express your true feelings, will become the ultimate machine.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P053

Bani: It is my hope that you have someone that you really want to protect.

ARU: End of message.
Sousuke: Wha......

( ARU is not a normal AI?)
This defective unit is "ultimate"?)

has appeared in Hong Kong.

Kalinin: It is acting on its own and is repeatedly causing havoc in the vicinity.
We believe that it is currently hiding somewhere in the city area.
Kalinin: There has been reported damages to both the South China army in Kowloon
as well as the North China army on Hong Kong island.
It is an extremely tense situation.

* In the Full Metal Universe, China is divided into 2 sides due to the continuation of
of the cold war between US and Russia. *

Mao: I see, we need to strike before the area becomes a warzone.

Kalinin: The problem is the model.

Kalinin: Its the Venom type no less....

( .... So I have to fight that thing again.... )

Mao: What is the terrorist objective?

Kalinin: Unknown. It may be the outbreak of civil war in China,
destruction of Hong Kong economy, or.....

Kalinin: a direct challenge against us.

{Kotsu~}
Kalinin: The Venom type is believed to be equipped with ECS and
appears every 8~12 hours around the Hong Kong/ Kowloon areas
causing random destruction.

Man: But if Venom is our enemy, how are we supposed to....
Kalinin: No, there is still a way.

Kalinin: Even the Venom unit requires restocking of ammunition
as well as rest for the pilot.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P063

Kalinin: We first need you to determine its hiding location.
Then, a squad of M9 will enclose it for an ambush.

Kalinin: We will take out a helicopter at night.
First, get yourselves to Hong Kong.

Minaturaization of the autonomous control system was quite difficult.

Kaname: B.... but you didn't have to kill her....
Leonard: She was trying to kill both of us you know?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P103

Leonard: Besides.....
I have not killed as many as your BF.

Kaname: Well he....

Kaname: He didn't have a choice.... he was brought up in a warzone and....
its not like he went around shooting children like this.

( Huh? )

Kaname: Don't kill him!!
I have business with him in the first place.

Leonard: But he said some rude things to you that deserves nothing less than death.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P108

Kaname: I'll decide on that.
I'll forgive you for what you did so don't kill him.

Leonard: Thats a surprise... for a guy like that?
I didn't think you were that kind of easy woman.

( I'm always like this..... only realise when everything is too late )

( Is it the same again this time.....? )
( Is this how its going to end? )

WRAITH: ..... its stopped.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P116

[ Oct 22nd, 11:38 ( East China local time ) ]
[ Hong Kong Island, Special zone: Midlevel ]

Sousuke: Venom in this city.....

Sousuke: Finding it would be quite difficult.
The city layout is quite disorganised.

Mao: You think?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P119

Mao: It hasn't changed much since the last time.
Sousuke: Have you been here before?

Mao: It was before the restoration but I was staying with my mother's relatives.
Dad didn't want to go back to New York after he was dismissed from the Marine Corps.

Mao: ..... That airforce idiot.
Sousuke: He was a soldier?

Mao: He's retired now and runs a business.
A terrible guy that planned to have me married to some fresh
Harvard graduate when I finished high school.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P120

Mao: In spite, I fled the church on the wedding day
and joined the navy.

Mao: The corporal at the army recruitment office was reluctant

Mao: and the entire staff tried to talk me out of it saying "Your parents would be sad"

Mao: So I told them.
My father is in the Air force.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P121

Mao: After that, everyone changed their minds and simply said
" Then its easy, you just need to sign this" )

Mao: What do you think? A girl like that?
Yan: Really great....

Mao: Great... huh

Mao: That moment was really great...
it felt like my world had infinitely expanded from the moment I made that decision.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P122

Mao: I can do anything
I can go anywhere

Sousuke: Anywhere...?

Mao: There were frustrations and setbacks after that.... but
I'm really glad of what I did back then.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P123

Mao: Because I became to like myself more as a result.

( .... Why? A story of her circumstance just isn't like the Mao I know... )

( and why just before the start of the operation..... ? )

Hunter: Sorry to keep you all waiting

---------------------------------------------------------------
P124

Hunter: I'm Kevin Hunter from the Intelligence Division.

Mao: So thanks to that Venom, its now only the matter of time before the
two armies declare war on each other.

Hunter: Yes..... Though that would cause both sides of Victoria bay
to be covered in a sea of fire like a picture from hell.

Mao: Is the Venom hiding within the city area?
Hunter: It is difficult to say with certainty but....

Hunter: the analysis by the Hong Kong office and the AI believes so.
Thats my instinct also.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P125

Hunter: However, it is the city areas that makes life difficult.

Mao: ECS cannot conceal infra-red so birds can detect it.
Ignore areas that has a lot of pigeons and crows.
Man: Oh, apparently dogs nose are sensitive to the ozone smell from the ECS.

Hunter: I see... Thank you for this information.

Mao: Is there anything else Sousuke?
Sousuke: Oh....... no nothing.

Hunter: This is good. That really narrows it down.
We should be able to cover everything in half a day with the help of intelligence division.

Hunter: Once we locate it, lets take it down in a single strike.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P126

[ Underground car park ]

Mao: Sousuke and I will cross over Victoria bay and check Kowloon side.
Yan and Wu, you guys cover the Hong Kong Island area.

Mao: Martial Law is in effect so be careful.
Yan: What if we get caught at the checkpoint?
Hunter doesn't have influence on most of the divisions right?

Mao: Flee if you can but don't return fire.
You'll get a severe interrogation if caught but don't say anything.

Mao: Besides, I won't forgive you if you die before any contact or permission from me.
{ Batan~}

Yan: Thats tough.......

Yan: We'll find Venom before you guys!!

Mao: Well, good luck.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P127

[ Central Main area ]

Mao: This is a surprise.
Its the first time I've seen Central this quiet. Besides...

Mao: Armored cars and A.S.

Mao: Its almost like a warzone.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P128

Mao: I wonder if they'll let us through easily.

Sousuke: If Hunter's connections are true.

Sousuke: Your turn Mao.

Mao: We can go.
{ Gaaaaa ~}

---------------------------------------------------------------
P129

Mao: This is amazing.... its usually always congested around here.
Sousuke: You seem to be surprised a lot here.

Mao: Ofcourse.... what do you think if Tokyo was like this?
( !! )

( Thats true... I had completely forgotten about it.... )

( That city is peaceful )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P130

( Peaceful Tokyo, school, classroom and..... )
Mao: Whats wrong Sousuke?

Sousuke: huh... its nothing.
Mao: Well be careful. Its the Southern Army checkpoint.

Mao: We managed to get through quite easily.
Sousuke: Looks like Hunter is the real deal.

Sousuke: We're close.
Mao: What would we do if its spot on?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P131

Sousuke: No big deal... we should always anticipate thats how its going to be.

( That truck.... )

( Its the same model as the one we used to escape in Sun'an.
Kaname: Wait!!

Kaname: Calm down Sagara-kun!!
You're delirious and imagining things!!

( At that time, she didn't even try to believe what I said.... )

Mao: ECS.... I guess its impossible to follow....

Sousuke: Are we ok to go?
{Batan~}

Mao: They'll let this one pass since they'd have died
with the M6 if it wasn't for our accident.

Mao: But.... completely ignoring the traffic lights.
I can't even let you drive.

( What am I doing.... )
Sousuke: I'm sorry.
( What is this helpless feeling? )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P149

Mao: Were you thinking about her??

Mao: FORGET ABOUT HER FOR NOW!!

Mao: If you can't do that, get out of the car!!

Sousuke: Thats true....

Wu: Its a miss again.
Lets go to the next location.

Yan: Again....

Yan: Wait.

Wu: Uuuuuuhhhhhh..... I wonder if he's the worker here.
Yan: Died around 2 days ago..... He isn't wearing a top.

Wu: .....That guy's chest.....?
Yan: Yeah... its unnatural for a stain.

Yan: Lets hope that this isn't some trap.....

( According to the spy satellite, both armies are ready to strike ).
( The North army specified a time limit of 22:00 today. )
( If it passes, civil war will start once again )

( There is only 5.5 hours left!!
If we atleast had 8 hours, we should have been able to take down that Venom..... )

Someone: Captain. URUZ 2 is on channel G1.
Tessa: Please connect.
Someone: Yes Ma'am.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P156

Tessa: Ok... yes thank you.
Please keep the line connected for the moment.

( Strange message on the corpse..... the same has been found on 2 separate locations,
3 messages were found on the local newspaper.... )

Tessa: To the son of Badakshan's Tiger.....?
Richard: The message is illogical.

Tessa: "Badakshan" is the location of NE Afghanistan.
"Tsim Sha Tsui" is central Kowloon.
"Hamidra" is a common Arabic name.

Tessa: We should try to locate the name "Hamidra" living around Hong Kong.

( Badakshan..... if I remember correctly.... )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P157

Kalinin: I just arrived.

Tessa: Second Leutenant, good timing.

Tessa: "To the son of Badakshan's Tiger, Meet Hamidra at Tsim Sha Tsui "
Do you understand the meaning of this message?

Kalinin: .... Part of it.

Kalinin: Badakshan's Tiger is the alternate name of the legendary general of
Afghanistan's guerilla.

Kalinin: The Soviets tried to assassinate him by sending in a number of
assassins.....
but all attempts failed.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P158

Kalinin: Among them was a child that was less than 8 years old.
Merciful man that he was, he welcomed that child as his own after his capture.

Kalinin: He was also given a new name....

Kalinin: Captain, can you please contact Sergeant Sagara?

*** Full Metal Panic: Sigma ***

[Volume 1]

Translators Notes:
#1 This is not 100% word for word J-E translation as I find that it works poorly with conversion
I have also tried to simulate the appropriate language tone where possible.

#2 I really don't like translating sound effects so I will just do the literal equivalent with the alphabet
then let the editors decide what to do with the "sounds".
I will also generally ignore the background sounds.
(In my opinion, it just looks stupid in English like those Marvin comics)

Brueno: One day, the enemy organisation came to me with a very attractive offer

Brueno: I was tampering with information for a while but I was getting close to
being traced so I quickly pulled out.

Brueno: I hated this organisation since it was like a charity group so it was perfect for me.
Apparently a number of soldiers died because of my efforts.
Its quite funny don't you think?

Kyoko: That sounds suspicious~~
[ When I meet him later, I better tell him to say that "he did it himself" ]

---------------------------------------------------------------
P112

[ At Jindai High ]

Kaname: That idiot!

[ He's late AGAIN!! ]
[ Its the sup-exam soon for crying out loud! ]
[ I wonder what he is upto now.... ]

---------------------------------------------------------------
P113

Kaname: I wonder if its another mission again.....

{Ki--n Ko--n Ka--n Ko--n} # School chime #
Announcement: Its after-school.... those students who are staying behind should..... }

Kaname: Oh yeah, the mobile!!

[ Thats right.... I shouldn't worry, it'll probably be just like the last time.... ]

{truuuu } # dialing sound#

{Kachi}
Kaname: Ah, hello? Is that Sousuke?!

---------------------------------------------------------------
P114
Message: The number you have dialled is currently not in use.
Please check the number before trying again

Kaname: Ooops? I must have dialled the wrong number....

P116

[ OCt 20th, 17:19 (West Pacific local time), Melida Island base

[ Captain's Office ]

( It feels terrible )

Tessa: Yes... please let him through

( Its true that I don't like the two being together...
all the more reason why would prefer to put this behind me )
( How am I supposed to face him? )

{Shun}
Sagara: Excuse me

---------------------------------------------------------------
P117

[ Sagara-san.... ]

Tessa: Welcome back. Please be at ease
Sagara: Yes Ma'am

Tessa: Did you say your farewell to Kaname-san?

[ What a terrible question ]

[ I'm the one that separated them.... ]

Sagara: ... yes

---------------------------------------------------------------
P118

Sagara: Can I get an explanation for this?

Tessa: This was a decision between the top level and myself.
It was decided that Intelligence Division is sufficient enough for her guard duty
Sagara: I do not see it that way
Tessa: You have a more important task
Sagara: That is?

Tessa: Arvarest

---------------------------------------------------------------
P119

Tessa: I would like your full attention on the use of that machine
Arvarest does not allow any other pilots other than yourself

Tessa: During that hostage incident, your brain pattern was recorded or
should I say "absorbed" into the Lamda Driver
Tessa: This isn't something you can overwrite later on
Sousuke: ..... I don't understand what you mean

Tessa: Arvarest unit has become an extention of yourself from the moment you piloted it for the 1st time.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P120

Tessa: At the present time, we do not have the ability to construct a new A.S. with a Lamda Driver system.

Tessa: Our only way to counter enemy units such as the and is just
Tessa: You and the Arvarest

Tessa: The Intelligence Division will take over the guard duty of Kaname-san
so please just focus on the Arvarest unit

---------------------------------------------------------------
P121

Sagara: ..... Is this an Order?

[ He is saying that on purpose as a sign of resentment ]

( and he is upset because its about HER )

Tessa: If that is what it takes to convince you then I will give the order or whatever it takes
: If its necessary, I will do it even if I have to take you away from Kaname-san

Sagara: Captain....?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P122

Tessa: YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------
P123

Tessa: I CANNOT OBJECT THE ORDER GIVEN AT THE TOP LEVEL ON MY OWN!!

Tessa: WITHOUT THE ARVAREST, WE HAVE NO MEANS TO STAND AGAINST ENEMIES USING THE "LAMDA DRIVER"
AS THE CAPTAIN OF TDD-1, I HAVE TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF MY CREW AS WELL AS HER SAFETY!!

Tessa: DON'T YOU EVER NOTICE ANYTHING???
IS SHE THE ONLY THING ON YOUR MIND???

Tessa: HAVE YOU EVER EVEN TRIED TO CONSIDER MY FEELINGS!?

Sagara: My sincere apologies Captain.... I....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P124

Tessa: WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY IT OUT LOUD???
Tessa: "I WANT TO BE WITH HER. DON'T GET IN MY WAY!!"

Tessa: It would be so much easier if you did that....

( .... This is terrible )

( A Captain that cries like a little girl with envy is simply unheard of )

( She completely hates me!! )
Sagara: I'm really sorry Captain. I seriously regret my action earlier.
I simply lacked any degree of understanding......

Tessa: Please leave
Sagara: ...... Eh?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P125

Tessa: I hate you Sagara-san.....

{ Piiii} {Kacha}

Secretary: Lieutenant is here
Tessa: I see, please let him through

Cruizo: My name is Belfanigan Cruizo

Tessa: Welcome Lieutenant

Tessa: Oh, I should have introducted you to Sergeant Sagara
Cruizo: That won't be necessary

---------------------------------------------------------------
P126

Cruizo: I've met them already

[ Inside Melida Island Base, Darsa Bar ]

Webber: I see.... well don't think too much about it
I'm sure Tessa will forgive you over time

Sagara: I'm no match for the Captain

Sagara: I apprently lacked any understanding of her position
Sagara: She must have been quite upset with my attitude for her to get like that....

Webber: .............

---------------------------------------------------------------
P127

Webber: Do you honestly think that was the only reason?
Sagara: Is there something else???

Webber: If you really have no idea....... well no its wonder why Tessa got upset
Sagara: I see

Sagara: I'm the fool obviously
In terms of the right person for the right place, its true
that there is no reason for me to guard Kaname

Webber: Well, looks like I can't deny the fact that you really are an idiot

Webber: Regardless, its unrealistic even for an SRT member to take part in
both the Prototype A.S. trials and guarding a girl at the same time.

---------------------------------------------------------------
P128

Webber: Why don't you just let the Intelligence Division handle Kaname?

[ Intelligence Division...... ]

Sagara: Hence my guard duty for Chidori has been lifted indefinitely.....

{Gara}

---------------------------------------------------------------
P129

Sagara: Come out !! We need to talk!!!

Sagara: I know you are near by!!
How about a response!!

Someone: Ah..

---------------------------------------------------------------
P130

Sagara: I'm Sergeant Sagara Sousuke!!
Member of the TDD for Mithril West Pacific Division!!
I was sent here to Tokyo on the 20th of April to protect a certain individual!!

Sagara: I believe she is being targeted by someone for the following reasons:
Sagara: 1: She is an unique individual that has a certain gift

Someone1: Who is that guy?
Someone2: Definitely an idiot
Someone3: What is he saying
Someone4: I think there is something wrong with his head
Someone5: Shouldn't someone call the cops?

Sagara: 2: Wispered are said to have unique knowledge related to military applications
{Truuuuu}

{ Kasha }

WRAITH: Are you out of your mind??
( Heavily encrypted voice.... so this is )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P131

WRAITH: What kind of an agent shouts out secret information at the neighbourhood?
Sagara: Its because you ignored me

Sagara: Answer me. Is your duty to guard Chidori Kaname or just to observe?

WRAITH: To guard ofcourse

Sagara: There were several dangerous situations in the past but you never showed up.
There is no way that I can let you to guard her

WRAITH: Are you planning to ignore the order?

---------------------------------------------------------------
P132

Sagara: Well thats....

WRAITH: You better not forget that it is MITHRIL that arranged this lifestyle.
You're an assasin... not a high school student

WRAITH: You have been unable to adjust to the Japanese lifestyle in the past 6 months.
If anything, you have exposed her to the dangers yourself

WRAITH: Unfortunately you are less than 3rd rate as an escourt

WRAITH: Enough of this chatter URUZ7. Follow your order and return at once
{Gacha}

---------------------------------------------------------------
P133

{ Tuuuu, Tuuuu, Tuuuu }

[ Orders and duty.....]
[ I know these are of the highest priority and its also strategically the right thing to do ]

---------------------------------------------------------------
P134

[ However.... ]

[ Why do I feel so irritated?? ]

Webber: So? What did you say to Kaname before you left?

[ I didn't say anything..... ]
[ I didn't even have the courage to meet her ]
Webber: ... I see... well its understandable if you don't want to tell me

---------------------------------------------------------------
P135

[ Chidori.... ]

[ What should I do from now on..... ]

{Gasha}

Cruizo: Master, water please

Webber: Um......
I'm not sure what leutenant you are but

Webber: I don't want some complete stranger to sit there

---------------------------------------------------------------
P137

Cruizo: Is this some kind of official regulation?

Bartender: No, these guys just decided on their own that 3 seats
from the back are reserved for the SRT members

Bartender: Except.... that one is a special seat

Webber: Thats where Captain Gail McKannen of URUZ 1 used to sit

Cruizo: Gail McKannen.....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P138

Cruizo: That coward huh....

Webber: Hey did you hear that Sousuke?
He thinks Captain was a "coward"

Sagara: Yeah
{Gu~}

Cruizo: He was just a useless nobody

---------------------------------------------------------------
P139

Webber: TAKE BACK WHAT YOU JUST SAID!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------
P140

#Fighting sounds only#

---------------------------------------------------------------
P141

Cruizo: Pretty lousy stamina for a sniper
Webber: You bastard.....

Webber: I've only just got started.....
: ............!!

Sagara: Kurz!!

Cruizo: Don't bother, its just minor concussion

Cruizo: It appears that SRT is just a bunch of fools like that dead Captain and guys like him

---------------------------------------------------------------
P142

Sagara: I don't know who you are. I apologise for this rudeness

Sagara: However I would like you to retract your comments about Captain McKannen

Cruizo: Thats a pretty funny joke Sergeant
Are you going to punch me like that guy if I refuse?

Cruizo: Heh... I doubt you will. You look like an respectable man... though

Cruizo: maybe you're just a coward.....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P143

Cruizo: Can't you do anything without an order?
Then I'll invite you to a casual game

Sagara: Game?

Cruizo: You want to protect the dignity of Captain McKannen don't you?

[ Underground hanger ]

Cruizo: I'll take back what I said if you win

---------------------------------------------------------------
P144

[ Why couldn't I act like Kulz before? ]
[ Because it is against the order to punch a superior? ]

Mao: Duty, orders... thats all you ever talk about isn't it?
Isn't that just running away?

[ Alright... I'll do it ]
{Goun} {Goun}

---------------------------------------------------------------

[ The hell with the orders ]

Cruizo: I forgot about the introduction earlier
I'm Leutenant Belfannigan Cruizo that recently transferred from the Mediterranean Division
Cruizo: As of today, I'm a SRT member of TDD.

Cruizo: By the way, my callsign is URUZ 1

[ So he is the replacement for Captain McKannen ]

Cruizo: Sergeant Sagara Sousuke, I heard that there is noone that can
stand against you in a battle with the A.S.
Cruizo: Lets see what you can do

( Is this how the A.S. move?? )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P150

Sagara: Shit!!

Cruizo: As I thought.... Sergeant Sagara, you're just 2nd rate as a pilot

Cruizo: Your way of fighting is "skill" not "art"

Cruizo: Do you know the difference?

Sagara: Ku.....

---------------------------------------------------------------
P151

Cruizo: You don't know? Thats why you're 2nd rate!!
Cruizo: 2nd rate predecessor and subordinates..... what a team I've been put under.

Sagara: Damn it!!

Cruizo: Throw out that toy

( What does he intend to do without the practice knife??? )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P152

( Crimson edge cutter )

Cruizo: What? You're not using yours? You should have the GRAW-2
[ Is he for real?? That could even penetrate the cockpit block if it makes contact ]

[ To request the use of the real combat knife only means....
This is no longer a simple exercise.... however
{Kasha}

---------------------------------------------------------------
P153

( This guy is for real!! If I hold back, he'll get me for good )

Cruizo: Don't hold back!! That coward McKannen is still waiting !!

Cruizo: Get up Sergeant

Cruizo: Get out the full potential of that machine

Cruizo: You hear? EVERYTHING!!

Cruizo: If you don't, you'll die with the next attack
( Do I have no other choice but to use that.... )

---------------------------------------------------------------
P156

( Can I use it? Isn't this machine just going to let me down again? )
( What is this crazy battle? Isn't it better to just flee instead )

( Imagine the focus of power on the right fist )
