Uninstall.

Back then, the greatest shock to our reality...

was that our lives were so primitive and simplistic, it was laughing in our faces.

Even covering my ears, the truth slipped through my fingers and left me confused.

Where in my frail body am I supposed to hold the strength to stand?

Uninstall. Uninstall.

Right now, I can't even begin to understand...

how the countless lives on this planet are essentially one.

Uninstall. Uninstall.

It looks like I'll have no choice but to act as a soldier who knows no fear.

Uninstall.

Uninstall.

Well, I'll be off then.

Daichi, remember to hold onto Yamada-san's newspaper.

Ah, yes, sir!

Three years ago, my dad disappeared.

I was ten years old at the time.

Since then, I've lived alone with my siblings while working for my uncle, my father's younger brother, Kengo-san...

as a delivery boy for his newspaper.

Family

I'm home!

Welcome back!

Welcome home!

Breakfast's ready.

It's ready!

Great.

Stop that!

Go wake Yoshi up.

Yoshi, get up!

Due to the appearance of the giant robot, many fish at the Suzugamori Aquarium were lost, but...

it is believed that the dolphins escaped to the ocean, bringing a great deal of relief to everyone.

What's the matter?

It's nothing.

Ah! Nee-chan, Yoshi wet the bed!

Oh, my, my, my!

Bed-wetter, bed-wetter, bed-wetter!

You wet your bed too, Santa! Bed-wetter, bed-wetter, bed-wetter!

Do not!

Yes, you do!

Do not!

Want me to help out?

I've got it!

Ah, it's cold over here!

All right, enough! Get out of here and go wash up.

Hey, Yoshi, get up already! All right, enough! Get out of here and go wash up.

So my time's...

finally come, huh?

Are you all right?

I'm fine...

I'm fine.

But after I'm gone...

I only just started worrying about what'll happen to my siblings...

even after all that's happened already.

You better not tell us you're gonna quit now.

What?!

After you went on about justice and the right thing to do, in the end, you're scared to die?

I never said anything like that!

Hey! Don't do this now.

You were just using your family as an excuse, weren't you?

Ushiro-kun, that's enough.

Everyone's afraid.

Dung Beetle.

There's one thing I want to ask you.

What is it?

What happens to our bodies after we die?

I can do whatever I want with them.

What do you mean?

For the most part, returning them to your families is pretty basic, but...

I can also completely erase them from existence, or hide them.

After all, this big guy has a million holes in him.

Then, please do that with mine.

Whether in Zearth or somewhere else, please hide my corpse.

Got it.

And... one more thing.

I'll definitely be back, I won't run away.

So, please don't try to bring me back forcefully.

I don't want the time I have left to spend with my siblings to be interrupted.

Hey!

Could you hang this up somewhere?

What's that?

A map of places to evacuate to.

In case of an emergency.

Ah... you mean from that behemoth?

Honestly... who would've thought that something that feels like its right out of a comic book would really appear?

All finished!

Oh, Daichi, come in for a sec.

Yes, sir!

What's that?

Apparently, "evacuation locations."

You should probably check it out.

I see... thanks.

Take these.

These are for business use, aren't they?!

I couldn't accept something like this!

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

There's four there, so go have a fun time with Futaba-chan and the others.

But...!

This isn't for you. It's for your siblings.

Santa and Yoshi want to play with you every now and then too, you know.

Uncle Kengo...

Tomorrow's a Sunday, anyway.

We don't release an evening edition on Sunday, so you can take the morning off as well.

Got it?

Even if you come to work, there'll be nothing for you to do.

Thank you very much!

Like I said, you don't need to get so flustered.

Yes, sir.

You've done a good job.

You're different from my older brother.

Uncle Kengo!

About what you mentioned a little while back... about living together with you...

Y-Yeah?

I've been thinking... maybe we should let you take care of us.

Would it still be all right... even now?

I... I see! I see!

Of course!

I'm glad you've finally come to a decision on the matter!

Please take care of us.

You bet! It'll be fine.

After all, you're already pretty much my son as it is!

Yes, sir.

Well then, I'll be going home ahead of you.

Sure! Go have lots of fun, you hear?

Yes, sir.

Come get a bite to eat at my place on your way back tomorrow. Okay?

My wife will love having you over, too!

After my dad vanished, my uncle asked us to live with him.

He kept asking after that, but...

I couldn't.

And it wasn't just about not wanting to impose.

When my older brother left, did he say anything?

"I'll... be back in a little bit."

Even after all he did, I still wanted there to be a place my father could return to.

But...

All right! A theme park!

When?! When?!

Yeah, when?!

Tomorrow!

All right!

Tomorrow, tomorrow!

Nii-chan, is it really okay?

You don't have to rush it.

You can't ride that, Yoshi!

I will!

You can't because you're still a kid!

I'll ride it, I'll ride it!

Just what does it make us, putting all our hopes into children like them?

I have no intention of just sitting back and watching with my hands tied behind my back.

That's why we entered the contract, after all.

That jackass, Seki...

Trying to pull a cheap stunt like that.

Hey, now.

This one, huh?

Your chairs will appear sooner or later.

Until then, just wait obediently, would you?

God damn, he's really stupider than an ape!

And Daiichi also had that knowing look on his face!

This bunch really has got some loose screws.

Though, I guess I can use them as my cute little pawns.

Huh, Ushiro?

Now that you mention it, he did pick a fight for no reason.

Not that it really matters anymore.

Though, there may be some slight hope for him.

He's really got nerves of steel to put up with all of this.

Looks like it's about time...

Bokurano.

Bokurano.

You can't fall asleep?

I'm still wide awake.

You've been acting weird lately, Nii-chan.

Really?

Is something bothering you?

Nii-chan.

I talked to Uncle Kengo yesterday.

I finally decided that it would be best to live with him from now on.

I see...

Even if we keep waiting for Dad, there's no helping it, right?

Even now... I still believe in him.

I'm sure there was something he just couldn't do anything about...

Yeah.

That's why, Futaba, I want you to believe in me, too.

Yeah...

I'm going to get some air.

Why did it have to be today?

Santa, Yoshi, get up!

Is it time to go to the theme park already?

Yeah! We're all leaving now!

Let's get going!

The next evacuation route goes from Yokoshima to Sakuma.

Please follow the instructions of the military officials, and board the buses designated for evacuation.

Daichi!

I repeat.

Over here! Right here!

Uncle Kengo!

Up you go.

What's the matter? Hurry and get on!

Hey!

Uncle Kengo...

Please take care... of my siblings.

W-What?

Nii-chan, why are you saying that?

Where are you going?

I...

I have some urgent business elsewhere right now...

That's why...

I'll be back in a little bit.

Take care of those two, you hear me?

D-Daiichi!

Nii-chan!

Nii-chan!

I don't know what happened, but...

I believe in you.

This is for the best, right?

That was unexpectedly fast, huh?

Tanaka-san, how long will it take for everyone in the city to evacuate safely?

Let's see...

At the very least, twenty minutes.

Then for the next twenty minutes, I won't move an inch.

After that, I'll try to finish things as soon as possible, and prevent as much damage to the city as I can.

Understood.

The National Defense Force will use all of the strength at its command to secure the evacuation route.

So, do your best!

I-It moved!

Damn it!

How cruel can it be?!

I'll stop it!

Damn it!

Hurry!

I got it!

It's no good!

Hey now, the armor's being shaven off.

Daichi-kun!

In that case...!

Daichi-kun, there's a district confirmed to be completely evacuated to the southeast!

Understood!

Just a little further!

Right here!

A theme park...

This is...

no good!

It started spinning!

As if I'll let you!

You made the enemy's movements its weakness!

I could never believe it...

That the lives of all humankind...

of all living things on Earth would be left in my hands.

Being told something of epic proportions like that...

The realization never hit me.

But...

Your future... right now, in this instant...

If it's in my hands...

Dung Beetle, I'm counting on you to keep that promise we made.

Yep.

Ushiro.

What?

Treat Kana-chan dearly, at least.

Time to do this!

They're open...

I can't believe it.

You've just gotta stay open at times like these, right?

Because miraculously enough, this park made it through safely.

Please, come in.

Let's go in, Santa, Yoshi.

What's the matter?

Isn't Daichi-nii-chan coming, too?

Yoshi...

It's no fun if Daichi-nii-chan isn't here with us!

Hey, when's Daichi-nii-chan coming?

Hurry, hurry!

Hurry and call him over here!

Hurry, hurry!

Someone lay a branch beneath the baby bird's feet...

as a guidepost, so it won't get lost on the other side of the river.

Don't think that what you see here is everything there is to the world.

I watch your smiling profile as you gather the unripened blue berries.

I know they'll be bitter, yet your small wings shine brightly as you carry them.

Because you were born, you thought you were perfect.

You tried to fly off, but I held you back.
