p3
Shit!
Where the hell is Adelina hiding?!

We're using the same type of Savage though!

There she is!

You won't get away from me this time!
I'm going to put into practice everything I've learned so far!

*Don't worry! I'll pay you a visit at the hospital!


p4
Chapter 06: I don't care if you end up in hell!


p5
What the hell?!

California, moutain area in the depth of Sierra Nevada.
Haa
Haa

How heavy is this damn equipment?!
This shouldn't be allowed to make us carry that!


p6
Haa
Haa

When will I reach the top of this hill?!

Can't stand it anymore... I wanna rest... even for a minute...

Or I'll die... for sure...
Haa !
Haa !

Don't even dream of it!


p7
Stay on your legs, Tatsuya!
Just one more mile!

*Who the hell appointed this girl as a trainer?!
Cough


p8
DOMS training center, California.
Hey, Yukari*, how are you doing? It's been a while I've been in America now.
*Note: The official italian volumes from which this translation comes from report a mistake in the first volume about the name of Tatsuya's sister, who is now called Yukari instead of Yurika.

As you know, DOMS CEO personnaly recommended me after seeing me piloting an AS.
I hope that my wage allows our family and company to catch their breathe a little.

For me, everything is fine, the weather is great and there are stunning landscapes here in Sierra Nevada.
I'm still doing my best. You'll get a gift when I'll come back. See you very soon, Tatsuya.


p9
*Bullshit!
I can't move anymore...

You fools!

Do you understand that these three minutes could have killed you?
Don't ever forget that! You could've been shot seven times! Heard me? Seven times!

I'm sorry, sir!
To hell your apologies! I don't give a shit if you end up in hell!
Show me that you've got some balls, dammit!


p10
Look at you... You seem like a sardine ready to get grilled.

The antiterrorism training of Sri Lanka's soldiers.
Does it interest you?
Next!
Absolutely not...

Got it.

First, you have to improve your physical strength.
Some recruits don't need it, but that's not your case.
Hey guys?
Hahahaha! [prolly already in English in the raws, but well]


p11
Tell me one thing...
Am I wrong or was I hired to pilot an AS?
Haa
Haa
Why do I need to run so much?

Listen well!
Physical strength is essential for a soldier...
and AS pilots are no exception!

Got it?
Keep moving or your muscles will be cold!
Yeah, yeah!

Lina! I see that you're not sensitive to cold...
Look at those legs!


p12
This is the official uniform of trainers, according the CEO!

She personally put me in charge of training this subject, and given my recent bad results...
I couldn't refuse!
I think that she made fun of you...

I won't accept any witticism about our boss!
At 7:30 sharp, piloting exercise. You'd better be on time!

Yes, ma'am...


p13
We're not training with the Shadow?
The CEO will answer your question tomorrow.

Oh? Mao is coming back tomorrow?


p14
Moreoever, all third generation AS are in maintenance today.
So we'll be using those.

I guess that even you know them!
They're Savage.
They even appeared in some movies.

Yes, I've seen them on TV! They're really huge!

Let me explain!
Those are customised models from the first Savage, RK-91M.
It's a unit deployed all over the world and used in many wars.

The RK-92 is basically a RK-91 with a gas turbine engine and is exported not only in communist countries but...
And there she goes again...


p15
In two words, Arm Slave act like an extension of the overtrain body of the pilot!
Is that clear enough, Tatsuya?!

Not really... Why is it so long?

Argh!

I won't accept insubordination!
Hurry up and get in this savage!
That damn bi...


p16
[nada]


p17
Phew...


p18
This movement was perfect!

It seems like you're in full harmony with your AS.
You've done well today.

Well...
it was nothing...

*Unlike the Shadow, this AS has a lot of commands and buttons...
*But somehow, it's closer to the Daidara.
*I like this Savage.


p19
If I'm not mistaking, it's time for our combat simulation.
I can't wait!

Oh...
You don't lack of confidence...

Up to now, you kept making fun of me...
But today, I feel like I can win!


p20
I'm ready.
Let us head to our start point for the simulation.

Come on, Savage, I feel like we'll get along, you and me!
And today, I'll make her pay for everything she did to me with interests!

I'm ready! Let's start whenever you want!


p21
You Taichi's Arm Slave Commentary:01
Savage
This is the unit that appears the most in Full Metal Panic! The RK-91M in this chapter is a customised imported model. For its design, I've taken inspiration of the RK-92. There are subtles differences, but I'd like you to take note of these little features, especially around the face. I apologise in advance for all the freedom I took to give a specific identity to my Savage. https://mangahelpers.com/t/hunk/releases/42533 [English] [Translation] Full Metal Panic!

p173
Chapter 05: It was awesome!
Fullmetal Panic! Another


p174
Thanks for the meal!

panel: Road security, when in danger, we are here for you!

Forgive me for holding you for so long.
It's nothing.


p175
... But try to understand that the army and the police have to close this case no matter what.
I don't care about your qualms. I'm just another victim here.

Since that day, the police and the army luge me around from a place to another.
And despite that, our company won't even get refunded.

We won't cause you any trouble, don't worry!
The most important is to keep calm and prevent any leak on this case.

Shit! If only this Shimomura wasn't so stingy!


p176
Thanks for the breakfast. See you!

I need to hurry. Everyone must be working on saving what can be saved...
in order for the company to keep running.

Adelina!


p177
How are your wounds? Are you cured?

Yes.
You got a minute? Follow me.
Our president wants to meet you.

Wait, what the hell do you want again?
Do I have to remind you that I was involved in this mess because of you?

Your president, huh?
It must probably some old hag. What does she want from me?
Move from the road.

Huh?


p178-179
Wah?!

B... But...


p180
Hey!
You must be Tatsuya Ichinose, right?

But...

But...

But...


p181
What a stunning...
beauty!

I'm Melissa Mao, the president of DOMS.
I would like to apologize for the trouble caused by our Lina.

B-But... no! No!
It's okay, don't worry about it!

In her thirties? No, definitely less... And yet, what a fantastic body!

I don't like talking in the middle of the road. Get in...
I'll drive you home.
little: Hehehe
I was hoping that you asked!


p182
Waouh!
That's definitely not like our old wreck...

Shall we go?
Y-Yes!

*Farewell, Kate-sensei...
*My fourth first love have just begun!


p183
I've skimmed through your personal files.
Seems like you have a natural ability for piloting...
To pilote an AS of this generation without experience, it's awesome.

*Not only that, but you also managed to defeat the enemy.
*I'd say you are unique.

*She said I was unique!
It's no use, mature women drive me crazy!

Ichinose, I won't beat about the bush...


p184
I want you to be part of my company.

Huh?!

But... that's... It was only luck...
And since my sister was in danger, I lost my nerves and went on...
I think that's more than enough for me!


p185
Could it be that you're scared?
Well, I...

At this moment, I didn't feel...
only fear...

No.


p186
It doesn't change the fact that I'm a mere son of worker.

Working for my father is enough for me.
I don't want to play the gunman...

Our company is sure military, I'll give you that. But its main purpose is training soldiers, not actual combat.
It's different, don't you think?
...

I got it.

What if I show you that?


p187
Don't tell me this is...
The money you'll get if you join us.

I know your father's company isn't doing very well.
And I also know that you don't know when nor how you'll be refunded for your equipment.
But with this money, your father would be able to breathe for a while, right?

So?
What about a nice travel to the USA?
We'll welcome you with honor, you'll see!


p188
If it was only for summer, then maybe...
I could accept... but it doesn't change the fact I've none experience.
Let alone the fact that they will try everything to make me join them...

Dad, stop drinking! We need to save money!
Come on, Yurika! Just one swallow!

The USA, huh?


p189
Last call for the flight at destination of San Francisco.
Please proceed to the departure gates.

This is about the time of the rendezvous.

Well, well! So you came in the end...


p190
What's with your face?

I should be the one asking that! What's with this outfit?!
Excuse me?

What a beauty!
And these legs!
Such a stewardess!
The boss told me to dress like this to welcome you.

But what's with this company...


p191
So, what's with your face?

Well, to be honest...
it wasn't easy to get here...
Moron! Enlistment? No way!
Don't go! This is too dangerous!

Well, nevermind. This is a pleasure to work with you,
Lina.

Same here...

But I can see that you're getting ahead of yourself. Lina is my nickname...
Ah, err...


p192
I think I've already told you that my name is Adelina Aleksandrovna. Am I enough clear,
Tatsuya?

Why are you calling me by my first name then?!
Come on, let's go.
Hurry up.

*Sounds like fun...


p193
Tatsuya, I'd like to ask you one question...

That was your first time in an AS, right?
Tell me, what did you feel exactly?

It was awesome!


p193
*Hello, this is You Taichi.
*For starters, I'd like to thank you for having read the first volume of Fullmetal Panic! Another.

*Who could have guessed that one day, I'll be involved in FMP universe...
*Congratulation, you've been chosen.
Wh...
Wh...
What?
*It would be an euphemism to say that I was excited...

*I had to meet the three key men of this work one after another, master Gatou, Okuro and Shikidouji...
gulp
*They all made sure I feel comfortable.
gulp

*The excitation got the best of me and I began to work like a daidara.
Oh!
For that, I'll use another pencil...


p194
*I don't know if you noticed...
*Hehe, a little Bonta...
*But I introduced quite a few cameos in the series.

*Of course, there's Bonta, the ultimate mascot of FMP...
Fumoffu! (Look at Nodora-sensei's pen!)

*Or, for example, the truck of family
*Ichinose...

*There's also a caricature of Gatou (what, they don't look similar?)

*And of course, Jose...
*behind whose Okuro's hiding.

*But I won't stop there! I will keep spreading more cameos in the next volumes!
Is that so?

*So stay focused!
Hurry up and draw!
See you soon ! https://mangahelpers.com/t/hunk/releases/41960 [English] [Translation] Full Metal Panic! Another 4 by Hunk 2015-10-28T19:53:45+00:00 Hunk admin@mangahelpers.com

Chapter 04: Show Me What You Can Do!


p2
What are you waiting for? Get down and help my son!

Don't you understand that Tatsuya is trapped in there?!

pant

p149
Incoming chopper at 7, identified as belonging to the army.
Backup is here!

Negative.
It's staying at 06E-32C coordinates...
motionless.

It's dad!
So he fetched backup to save Yurika!


p150
They're fighting near Yurika!
Please calm down, mister Ichinose!
This helicopter isn't armed, it would be crazy to come closer!
We have to wait for an opportunity to save your daughter...

Retreat, now!

?!

But what are they doing...


p151
?!

Yurika! Are you alright?!
Uuh...


p152-153
*If I don't stop him...
*Yurika and maybe even dad might...
*I need to come up with something...

Hey, Karamazov! Have you anything in stock...
to shoot this bastard down?
Unknown command.


p154
Shit!
Who has set up this piece of junk?

I've got an idea.

Karamazov...
Give me all available energy.
Unknown command.
Shall I interpret it as an increase of the military mode to its maximum level?


p155
Yes, I think it might do it!
As long as you hurry up and obey my command!
We have to stop him no matter what!

Let's go! Are you ready?!
Roger that.

Yaaaaaaaaah!


p156
Tatsuya!
The newbie's desperate charge...

Get closer! It can't be helped anymore!
We have to rescue those civilians!
You said that you were doing it for your sister's sake...

*You can't let the Shadow pilot on its own.
*Show me what you can do!

Yaaaaaaah!


p157
Antitank dagger detected.
Shit, I'm defenseless...

Big brother!

I'm not done yet!

Yaaaaaaaaaah!


p162
Yaaaaah!


p163
He's completely nuts...


p164
There we go! It should calm you down for a while!
Now you'll think twice before trying to hurt my sister...

And my coworkers!


p165
He has an impressive balance...
He can maintain the Shadow's balance with one less leg, on this Type 96 and in the river...
Tsk!
We can't even call this courage anymore, it's pure madness.

Maybe it's time to step in...
We're here to rescue you.
What an hottie!

I think I get it...


p166
He stopped... What does it mean?
I think I know why.


p167
What do you mean?
Well...

When he was a kid, he fall in the river...
while driving a daidara.

And so...
this experience allowed him to come up with this strategy...
He made it so water would enter the Type 96 armature.

So, how's that? How does it feel to be stucked in a flooded cockpit?
No difference between a daidara and an AS in water, huh?
You brute! You got what you deserved!


p168
Shit, he's heavy...
For now, let's try to understand how this mess happened.

We've already put sergeant-major Kashima under arrest, he was the pilot of the involved AS.

Doug...
Seems like the three opponent pilots have survived.
Well...


p169
It's a miracle...
that we're not facing a pile of dead bodies.
*Have you seen what big brother has done?
*Thank god, you're safe!
We were lucky.
This boy is born under a lucky star...

Uaaaarg!

Tch...
Phone...

Yes ?


p170
I've just talked business with their consultant.
It seems like they like surprises... It's high time that we ask for a compensation...
These days, it's still an important client for a company like ours...

Ah ah ah. I can't deny it.
By the way,

what do you think about the hero of the day?
Well...

Hum...
Well, alright.
.....
Understood. Goodbye.

Who was that, Doug?


p171
It was the boss.
Apparently, our president will come visit Japan tomorrow.

Japan... It's been a while.

I haven't seen time flying by. https://mangahelpers.com/t/hunk/releases/41714 [English] [Translation] Full Metal Panic! Another 3 by Hunk 2015-08-29T17:31:00+00:00 Hunk admin@mangahelpers.com

Alright, I'm gonna try.
I've got nothing to lose...

Wow...

Dad! Can you hear me?!
Loud and clear, Tatsuya!
Can you tell me what you're gonna do?

I'm borrowing this for a little time... I'm gonna save Yurika!

Wait for me, Yurika... I'm coming!

We'll see... I can't let that guy...
keep on his madness!

The hell with this whippersnapper!
What does he think he can do?

So irresponsible!

How are they doing?

Not really well...

Sakaguchi is still unconscious...
We have nothing to treat him and we can't reach the hospital.

We're here!

Congrats!
For the first volume of FMP! Another!
Dear Taichi, thank your for all your efforts in drawing those robots in such wonderful way! I'll do my best not to deform your style. Even if I'm not used to differentiate drawing for painting or for manga. My apologies in advance.
- Taichi's answer: Let me tell you that I love your daidara's mechanics and that I'm trying to reproduce it the best way possible! I look forward to challenge myself again in the reproduction of one of your mechanical creations!

p1
Chapter 02: Do as I say!


p2
Good!
I hadn't driven this daidara for a while, but it responded well.

Hey, Tatsuya!


p3
What the hell have you done?!
Because of your little trip from earlier, we're late!

What?!
But can't you see the truck is full of trunks!
It's already a miracle that we managed to drag along the trailer with the daidara!

And that's the same on Sakaguchi's side!
I'm saying that it's enough for today!

Whenever you look away, they're fighting again.
That's the same thing everytime!


p4
Aren't you the boss? You should anticipate those kinds of things.
*Grr
*Hopefully, I'm not like you, dad...

Stop it!

You weren't that rude with the girl from earlier!
*Let me help you, miss.
Is that so funny to provoke dad?

Whenever someone makes eyes at you, you become a totally different person!
But no one else could speak English...

Shut up!
Ok...
A good lecture, ah ah...

It also applies to you, dad!
*Dear president!
Ok...


p5
I'm going home to prepare dinner.
So stop fighting, alright?
Okay!

Everyday, she looks a little more like her mother...

Let's go, we still have work to do.

*Who knows why she came here...
*She looked like some sort of soldier...


p6
Army training grounds, Hokuriku.

Lina, keep me up to date...
about your Karamazov. Everything's fine?
No problem.


p7
I'm switching to operating mode.
Alright. Good luck!

Doug.

Their squad leader's actions are leaving me dubious.

Thanks to the capacity of their condenser, type 96 models should be able...
to operate in stealth mode...

But...
he's running his engine at full power.


p8
I don't know about you, lieutenant, but I feel like it's gonna be fun.
Staff sergeant Taira, "Yamane 2".

Paint bullets in burst mode...
and a cute little blondie as a target.

It's an exercice, godammit! I'm expecting much more seriousness!
Y-Yes, sir!

Don't you dare underestimating her!
Lieutenant Sano, "Yamane 1".


p9
We're almost at the objective.
Scatter.
Yamane 2, roger that.

Hmm...
Staff sergeant Kashima, Yamane 3.
I said scatter, what are you waiting for?

.........

Stay focused!
Or these mercenaries will beat the crap of you once more!


p10
Let's go!!
This time, I won't get surprised by this dear Lina!

"Dear Lina"?

Oshira-1, sound sensor is getting some noise coming from 1-3-5.
This point will now be referred as Sierra 1.

Reading from optical sensor on Sierra 1, new result will be referred as Mike 1.
Distance one, zero, zero, zero.

Karamazov, master mode 2.


p11
Weird...

He was detected too easily by the sensors.

Doug.
It seems like Lina understood the enemy strategy.

Perhaps.

Their squad leader is readily exposing himself...
while the two remaining units in ambush are waiting for Lina's actions.
A reliable tactics, but too obvious in this situation.


p12
Lina already experienced a similar case in Oural...
where she managed to destroy two Savages.
It's the same situation as today.

Come on, Lina, what are you waiting for?!
I'm sacrifying myself on purpose to give out your position to Yamane 2 and 3!

Arg!

Hm?
She hasn't hit me...

Yamane 3, hit confirmed.
Reported down.


p13
She anticipated our plan!

Karamazov, master mode 1.
Roger that.

It seems that she wants to fight them in close combat now.

Yamane 2, hurry up and come to me!
A single second generation model can't do anything against the Shadow!


p14
Arg!

Yamane 2, hit confirmed. Reported down.

You are in trouble, lieutenant...
I couldn't meet up with you, this Lina read all our moves.
Taira...

It's not over yet!
I'm going to face her!


p15
One left!

There she is!


p16
[nothing]


p17
Warning! Yamane 3 is using real bullets!
Real bullets?

What?!

Shit, I only have paint bullets!


p18
Aaaah!


p19
[nothing]


p20
What the hell are you doing?!

Kashima! Have you lost your mind?!


p21
No way...
Kashima... Don't do that...


p22
An accident you say?!
Colonel Shimomura!

This unit has broken rules...
And worst of all, with real bullets?
That's too many coincidences for just an accident!
That's impossible!

Don't fool with me!
Is that the way you treat allies?!

Who is responsible of ammunition here?!


p23
Stop it!
I'm assuring you that we're rigorously controling all our ammunitions!
Nothing indicates that those real bullets come from Nerima base!

And yet, they're really here...
Calm down!

According the most recent news...
there was a road works company working near the exercise point.
Civilians might get involved in this!

?!


p24
And what about cleaning everything? The day is almost over!

Yeah, alright;

Hm?!

What's this?


p25
Sorry, but we're currently working...


p26
Waaaah!


p27
[nothing]


p28
Damn you!


p29
Wait, Tatsuya! What are you gonna do?!

Wooooh!!


p30
Argh!


p31
*No way...
*An arm slave can do that?

Shit!


p32
Haa...
Haa...


p33
I'm calling for the deactivation of the limiter, Karamazov.
Warning.
This procedure is against article 9 paragraph 4 of COMS internal rules.

Red code. I'm granting myself the power of decision as pilot.
Very well. Last check... Are you confirming the deactivation of the limiter?

Do as I say!
Very well. Deactivation of the limiter.


p34
Let's go!


p35
Don't think that this injury will stop me!

You won't get away from me!
Definitely!


p36
[nothing]


p37
Haa...
Haa...
Haa...
Let's finish this.

!!

Headshot. The second sensor has been damaged.


p38
No...
Haa...
Wait...

*I'm... not...

*... done... yet...


p39
Inn where resides Ichinose company.

Waah!

This inn's onsen is a true heaven!

I should have the time to stay here for a while.

It's so hot on the construction site...
Hurry up and go home!


p40
Hey!
Can you hear me?!

Tatsuya! Are you alright?
D-Dad...

I must've passed out...

Err...

Dad... It's weird...
Tatsuya...


p41
My fingers...
won't let go...

Dad... This AS...

After what happened...
he ran to the south.
...
South, you say?


p42
That's where our inn is... And Yurika...

Sakaguchi, wake up...
If this madman is going there...

*Yurika...
*is in danger!


p43
Hey...
What are you doing?!

It should be here...


p44
I knew it would be her...

[from now on, they're speaking in english]
Hey!
Are you okay? Can you hear me?
Where... am I...

You're... the boy...
from earlier...
Hmph...


p45
Hey!
You're so pale! Are you injured?

I've been hit...
This guy...
Where is he?
He's on the road to the south.

Got it... I need...
to follow him!
Haa...
Haa...
Haa...
Come on... Get down.

Follow him? In your state?
This is madness...

Madness or not, I gotta do it!
For now...
Haa...
I'm the only one...
who can pilot an AS!

Very well...


p46
*In this case...

*I'll handle it!

I'm going to stop this military AS!


p47
No! It's impossible!
This AS piloting system is totally different from ordinary ones!

My sister...
is on the way this bastard went!
I can't stay here!

*His sister...

This crazy bastard is on his way to the inn where my sister is waiting for us!

Alright.


p48-49
*Karamazov...
*is moving according the AI instructions.
*In other words...

*I'm entrusting Shadow to you!!

- To the readers:
Full Metal Panic! Another
Thank you for your fidelity and your affection! I also remind you that the novels are as good as the mangas. I'd like to develop the story in thousands of different ways, but I get quickly aware that there isn't much room for that... Anyway, priority goes to cute girls! Take care!
- To Taichi:
Congratulations! The first volume of FMP! Another is out!
Taichi, excellent work, whether it be about mechas or female characters. I will try to add in each of them some hidden and strange details in accordance to the scenario. It will be up to you readers to discover them! Bye!
- Taichi's answer:
I promise to draw the best way I can all the own elements of FMP universe (laugh), especially the gorgeous girls who are the spice of this story! https://mangahelpers.com/t/hunk/releases/41191 [English] [Translation] Full Metal Panic!

p1
At the end of the 20th century, a group of mercenaries not tied with any faction was created in order to maintain world balance.
This non-governmental organisation, called Mithril, began to strike against terrorism accross the world.

Using the power of Arm Slaves, they took part in several battles, and even nowadays...
while most of the population is still ignorant of its existence.

Since then, ten years have passed...

Y-You haven't forgotten our promise...
right, Kate-sensei?

I remember perfectly, Ichinose...
Finally, here I am! Keep cool! Try to stay calm!
Gulp

Or maybe should I call you Tatsuya...


p5
I'm standing in front of a real mature woman... or should I say, a real stunner!
So? Shall we begin?

This is too much...
sfx: frrr
I can't hold any longer!

Kyaa
Kate-sensei!!


p6
*B-But...

Kate... sensei?

Ow ow ow...

What the hell are you doing, Ichinose?
Oh... Ono-D!


p7
What do you mean, "Ono-D"?
I waited for you for your interview, and here you are sleeping...
*Kotaro Onodera
*Geography teacher, in his 30's. Married with children, former student at Jindai.

When I see that you wrote that you wanted to work for the family business...
What a shame, given your grades.

Ichinose Tatsuya

Family business
}

You promised me that you would go out with me if I kept my engagement...
and I managed to score 900 points at TOEIC, a true feat!
My name is Tatsuya Ichinose,

I'm a simple third year student who just saw his first term at Jindai high school gone by.
Aaah.
Oh, are you listening?

Enough...
Now, that's enough!


p8
To say that I worked so much that my eyes bleeded!
You betrayed our promise! "I'll marry you and we'll go live in my country", you told me!
Gimme back my third first love, you witch!
*How can it be first love if it's the third one?

*I'm sick with foreign women!!
Summer during third year is an important moment in the lives of young students who have to decide about their future.

Some decide to pursue studies while others will face business world.
For my part, I chosed to help my old man in the family business.
I also have a sister, still young but she has her head screwed on right.


p9
My goal? Get enough money...
to ensure a quiet life for my family.

What's with this racket?
*There you go! That's all we needed!


p10
Seems like we're stuck.
Already...

What's going on, mister Gen?
*Oh!
Hello, Tatsuya.
The newbie, Sakaguchi, messed it up and now the daidara is out of order.
Sorry...


p11
The ground is loose because of yesterday's rain...
He didn't consider it and ended up completely entangled.
Oh my...
What a pain...

The other daidara is on another building site,
and without this one, we won't go anywhere.
Hum...
It won't be easy, mister Gen...

Ok, let's go!

Sakaguchi, lend me your gloves.
Hey, wait!!
We can handle this ourselves!

Mister Gen, if we dillydally too much, we still won't be out of the woods at the end of the day.
Leave it to me!


p12
But he hasn't his Power Slave license yet!
Isn't that too risky to let him drive?
Get away and shut up! It's your fault that he's trying to get it out in such a narrow place.

Controls are responding well.
But if I lose balance, I will end in the warehouse...


p13
At first sight, it sounds impossible!


p14
Good! The left leg has a point of reference!

Excellent!


p15
Look out! It's dangerous!

No, it's all good.


p16
[nothing]


p17
Amazing! Tatsuya has an incredible sense of balance!
Of course he has!
He was driving this scrap-heap when it was still new! He's not like a newbie like you!

New? This wreck?!
At the time, he was still in elementary school.

*He was spending his days looking at the daidara.
*I think that if it would ever fall in the river, he would jump to save it at the risk of drowning.

It's like his best friend.
Tatsuya, I won't ever disagree with you again!
Yeah!
The best daidara's pilot of the world!


p18
*Stop it, it's really embarrassing...
Well done, kid!

I don't see my father...
The boss...

A bank employee came...
and he followed him to discuss about the finances...
It must be hard.

*Dad...


p19
Military garrison of northern Kanto.

It seems like these mercenaries have their own sense of punctuality...

They are not mercernaries...


p20
They are members of a PMC*.
And I would advice you to use this term from now on, lieutenant Sano.
*Acronym for Private Military Company.

Very well, sir, but it won't prevent me from disapproving their manners.
These people don't care about conventions and traditions, and are only interested in bargaining.
I don't see why we should measure ourselves against them during an exercise rather than against virtual ennemies.

It doesn't change the fact that we were the ones who have contacted them, so we will negociate properly.


p21
This man, it's Douglas Baxter...
Captain of the third squadron of the AS traning division of the DOMS, Dana O'Shee Military Service, the Private Military Company.


p22
I am Douglas Baxter, nice to meet you, Colonel Shimomura.
I hope our business will be dealt with in the best conditions.

Welcome,
I am Shimamura, staff officer in the army.
I will admit that we don't often hear the word "business" out here.

*Ah ah ah
If it's okay with you, I would like to unload our equipment.
Right away, sir.


p23
*They have means...
*They don't look like disordred mercenaries.

?!


p24
*A uniform of AS pilot...
*This kid is driving those machines?

Please take a look at this.


p25
Ooh!
But it's...

... The ZY-99M model...
... The Shadow!


p26
Extension work of the main road Hokuriku.
Pff...
Why is it so hot in the middle of the North mountains?

Piiih...
What's going on, you idiot?


p27
I bet that you're already regretting ever wanting to work for the business of your daddy, right?
Don't tell me that you're giving up.
*Just kidding.
What?!

You should be the ones thanking me for helping you everyday,
you and your half-assed business!
What?!

Say that again if you're a man, you fool!
How dare you speaking to me like that?!
Calm down, boss! The radio hasn't done anything to you!

Let me go, I won't let this little...
It's almost lunch time, Tatsuya.
Take a break.
Roger.

My father can't control himself...


p28
Oni-chan!

I brought you your bento!
That's for you!

Thanks a bunch, Yurika...
*Ah ah ah!
*smile


p29
The miss from the inn is really nice,
she helped me to prepare everything!
I'm glad for you.

She lent me the ingredients...
and a bag to carry everything.
*cric
"Cric"?

?!

Pwah!!


p30
I told you, no grasshoper in onigiris!
Is that so?

But it's good though!
And I still have a full bag with them.
*A full bag...
*He he he

Yurika!
These onigiris are excellent!

Ignore him! You will become a real housewife!
You don't know what I would give to be in your husband's shoes!


p31
Well, I mean...

You have guts to talk like that to my daughter when I'm around...
Aaahiiaaahiaaa

*Get here, I'm gonna teach you a lesson!
*Boss, it hurts!
Here we go, we're all alone now...

Piiiiiih

Piiiiiih
Piiiiiih


p32-33
They're huge!

What are they doing here?
Trucks of this size, in this region...

Piiiiiih
Piiiiiih
Who knows.
Anyway, it would be a miracle if they managed to go through this road.

Crii

p34
As expected, I knew it would end this way!

Yurika, stay here and don't move!
Oni-chan...
*Hey, everything's allright?


p35
Hm?

Can I use that Power Slave?
*She's speaking in English.

What's going on, Tatsuya?
They are foreigners... Seems like they're arguing.

Tatsuya, you can speak English, right?
Err...
I can't...
What?
But I don't wanna...

Go or it's gonna take all night.
Pff...

Excuse-me, but there's no need to panic.
We're gonna help you getting out of here.


p36
I'm not panicking at all.


p37
B-But...
She's a real knockout!

No... Calm down!
She's a foreigner... Don't get tricked again!

Hm?


p38
Keys.
What?!

I need the keys of your PS.
I think I can lift it up.

No way!
It might be old, but it's our only source of income!

I'm gonna lift the trailer myself!
You, stay where you are!
Wait!

This trailer contains some extremely valuable equipment!
What will we do if you break everything?
*Come on, gimme those keys!


p39
You mean I don't know how to pilot?
Watch your words, Ama*!
What do you mean, "Ama"? I'm a pro.
*The word "ama" holds two meanings in Japanese: either "bitch" or "amateur". Tatsuya is using it as an insult, but the girl thinks he means "amateur".

A pro of what?!
But wait, she understands Japanese after all?!

So?
Are you doing it or not? Hurry up and take your decision!


p40
Go, oni-chan!

Pff, and here I am doing it... for this wench furthermore.
*I shouldn't have meddled.

The hell with them, they're in Japan, they could at least have learnt a few words!


p41
snip

Let's see...
We've already checked the ground over here, it should be stable.

grip


p42
Let's go!


p43
Oh...

So, what do you say?
I must admit...
you know how to handle it despite your ugly mug...

Hey...
are you picking a fight with me?
Consider it as a compliment.

Very well. Let's leave it there.
It's for the best.


p44-45
But it's...

an Arm Slave!


p46
That was...

Papa, it was a daidara?

Hey, whare are you doing with this war machine?
Hm?

You're asking what I'm doing?
Do you really want to know?


p47
Well, to sum it up...

The ZY-99M Shadow is a third generation AS that was produced back in the days by the Soviet Union...
Comparing to the American M9, the technical features are slightly below. It was intended for export...
... but for political reasons, the series suffered a downgrade comparing to the original 99.
Thanks to the ZEYA which developped a nuclear fusion battery able to produce 1,900KW power,
its burst of speed was 200km/h, while its autonomy after full charge reached 140h.
Its code name Shadow is coming from its western counterpart.


p48
Maybe it was too much detailed...
Way too much, even!

I just asked you...
what you intended to do with this thing!
I don't care about technical features!

Understood.

So let's start again:
Boiiing

I'm part of DOMS, a PMC founded in 2001...
Our job is to take part in military operations by playing the role of enemies.
Most of time, we collaborate with the US army and their allies...
But it happens that Eastern power and from third world would call on us.


p49
Enough! Stop! Stop it!
I'm good, I don't want to know more!

Understood...


p50
Hey, just a last thing...

What's your name?

Adelina...
Adelina Aleksandrovna Kerenskaya.


p51
Sorry for the disturbance.

What a strange girl...


p52
Base camp of the army's formations, near the main road Hokuriku.

Bertrand, any news from Oshira-3?
They've just left the road...
and are heading to the target zone.


p53
These soldiers seem quite agitated...
Are you ready?
Indeed.

During the last simulation, even if we were using paint bullets...
they were forced to surrender without opposing any resistance.

So today, their opponent will be Oshira-3.
We can say that their pride as Japanese males are at stake.
Oshira-3...
I see.

Pride, tsk! Our president would kick their ass...

after hearing that.


p54
Shortly, our type 96 will gather at the rendez-vous point and will get into action.
How are your preparations doing...
Captain Baxter?

We've just heard that our team is getting to the expected place.
Don't you worry, Colonel Shimamura, DOMS always keeps its engagements...
... especially when it has been paid in advance.

Bertrand!
Yes, sir.

This time, the simulation program consists in a confrontation in a mountain zone.
Our Shadow will fight a squadron of three Type 96.


p55
The ratio of power three versus one will be balanced by the fact that it will be a third generation AS against three second generation AS.

The purpose of the simulation will be to evaluate pilots ability in combat.

To all units, get to the objective!
Full power! Let's go!


p56-57
Sano squadron, let's go!

Now, all rests on your shoulders, Lieutenant Sano.
Show them what we're made of!

Oshira-3 to Oshira-1.
I'm at the objective. I'll stay in position.
Copy that, Cinderella. You sure took your time, eh?


p58-59
There was some unexpected hitch on the way.

An unexpected hitch...

Expected hitches doesn't exist, Adelina...
