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.

You wanted this...?

Nee-san gave this to me to give to you.

Hide it here.

Use it when you feel you absolutely need to.

I refuse to become the next Kokopelli.

If I tell Dung Beetle, I wonder what he'll do...

Knowing Onii-chan, he won't allow it.

I wouldn't put it past him to force Kana-chan into the contract to shake you up.

Machi...

I want to save Kana.

You're really serious about this, huh?

Yeah.

Snowscape

Please use only the designated vehicles for evacuation.

We've secured more than enough buses for everyohe.

There is no reason to panic.

We've learned that the enemies react and are attracted to the energy emitted by the Zearth Program.

Thus, we will copy the Cognitive Robotics Research Institute's program into the Tower...

lure out the enemy, and eliminate it with the firepower of the United Air Force.

In the event that we cannot break through its armor, we will ignite the surrounding area...

until the enemy boils from the inside out.

That's a summary of our current plan.

Hey! Who do you think you're fooling?

Sir?

We are going to bring Zearth down.

Our children are riding within it!

Haven't those children caused enough damage already?

Nothing good will come from letting them live!

If Zearth loses because of our onslaught, there's the danger of our world being destroyed...

Until we can clearly tell who will win or lose, I believe it would be better to remain on standby.

Katsuragi. Why do you think we've built the Tower here?

Well, that's...

Don't you understand?

The ulterior motive of this plan is to begin the restoration of older cities.

Need I remind you of that?

We will be destroying the behemoth, but we'll also be improving the infrastructure and public works!

Do you think we can really support the economy by believing in such nonsensical science fiction?

We will not wait on standby! We will use our power to destroy them!

Please excuse me.

We've just received a message from the Tower.

Preparations for the Zearth Program have been completed.

I see.

Go.

We'll begin the operation immediately.

Our evacuation plan is running a little behind.

If you would please wait until the surrounding regions are empty...

I'm sure they'd be satisfied if they knew they'd be the cornerstones for the rebirth of the cities.

Mommy, look over there! It's all sparkly and shiny!

These pea-brained monkeys just don't seem to get it.

They're trying to lure the enemy with the Zearth Program to destroy it with an airstrike of unmanned WMDs.

With no regard to the residents of these areas.

It's an insane plan.

Well, they can just do whatever they want until they're satisfied.

That aside, Ushiro...

You decide yet?

Yeah.

I thought so!

What are you talking about?

Nothing important, really.

In exchange for traveling to the next parallel Earth, I'll be saving his life. That's all.

Is that true, Ushiro-kun?!

Right?

Because your big brother Ushiro wants to survive so much, he'll be sacrificing you!

Who said anything about that?

I refuse to succeed and continue these battles.

I won't become the next Kokopelli!

Oh, geez...

This is no fun!

No fun at all!

After making it this far, your brotherly love suddenly kicks in?

Boooring.

Meatheaded monkey, need I remind you who's in control here?

You want to save your big brother, right?

Then you should join the contract and fight for him!

You don't have to!

Hey, I wouldn't get on my bad side right now.

Onii-chan!

I don't have all day, sister!

If you don't hurry and join the contract, your big brother might get hurt.

Ushiro-kun!

Stop it!

Then you'd better speed things up with your contract.

Don't! Don't enter the contract!

Hey now, what are you trying to pull?

Ushiro-kun, what do you have back there?

Don't be rash!

Good idea.

Didn't an idiot lose his arm a while ago trying something like that?

You're a smart one.

Now, get contracted already.

Your brother might talk big, but deep down, he should be really happy.

It's been a long journey...

making it this far.

It's just the same as always, ain't it?

Though I guess this time was pretty fun, with all the interesting pawns we gathered.

I'd say so.

All you need to do is pull my brother's attention away from me.

Can you really do it?

I can.

No... I have to.

In order to end all the battles on this Earth.

That fucking hurt, you bitch!

What the fuck's wrong with you?!

If you don't quit it...!

Do you really think I'll die from something measly like this?!

That one's for Yuu-chan.

It hurts... stop it...

Even though it's me, this is too much...

Hey! What happens now?!

Ushiro! Seki-san! Focus your thoughts on my chair!

Can we even...?

We can access the Program because we're contracted, although we won't have as much power as Onii-chan did.

No good?

We're not done yet.

You've certainly done it now. My goodness.

He really was careless.

I had such high hopes for him, but what a disappointment.

So, how do you plan to make up for this and finish it?

We'll fight two more times.

We'll fight through these battles until the end.

Would it be all right if you left Zearth to us?

Wasting all this precious time...

when we're so busy, honestly.

Well, use it as you see fit.

Since I don't expect there to be anyone to take his place, I assume.

However, this will be the end of all of your battles.

The next enemy is strong.

Best of luck in battle.

From now on, the people chosen as pilot will have total control over Zearth.

We will now begin boarding the bus to Saitama at Boarding Site #3.

Those passengers waiting to board...

There's an elderly woman waiting back here...

We have a prioritized vehicle for that sort of thing.

Where will she be headed?

Here's a map from the station.

Let's see...

Ushiro-san's...

The Konara Schoolhouse.

The Koala... what was it?

If you ask the people there where Ushiro-sensei's house is, I think they'll be able to show you the way.

Yes, I see. Ushiro-sensei's, right?

Will you really be all right?

Here you go. Take these in return.

Give some to your friends, okay?

Thanks, Granny!

What's the status of the evacuation around the Tower?

It's going slowly.

The roads in that area are rather narrow...

Honestly, what do the road crews use their budget on?

Harasaki-kun!

What is the United Air Force doing?!

Haven't you ever heard the proverb "strike while the iron's hot"?!

We're pretty far apart from each other.

There probably wasn't enough output from the Program.

Either way, it's convenient for us.

I feel bad since it just appeared, but it's coming with me anyway.

The target's begun to transfer elsewhere!

What?!

It's switching locations for us?

If it's trying to minimize the damage, does that mean Councilor Komoda was telling the truth?

You mean that whole thing about Zearth being an ally of mankind?

Then that means the Earth will be destroyed if it loses!

Are you kidding me?

Zearth reappeared near Chutenro Tower.

And the status of the evacuation?

It's 100% complete.

I don't believe even Hasegawa-san would want to turn that area into a blazing battlefield.

After all, his group has a large number of their headquarters there.

They accepted the invitation.

Machi-san.

What's up?

Thank you very much for saving me back there.

Oh, stop it!

I didn't do it to be thanked or anything.

And there are still some loose ends to take care of.

So this is the Tower of Babel's last day, huh?

Who's saying it's an ally of justice now?!

The Zearth Program is supposed to be a great menace to Earth.

We received such a report from Professor Yoshikawa.

I see.

It looks like the children were thinking on behalf of Earth far more than we were.

I wish I could have given them something in return for their feelings...

Burn them to the ground!

I don't care anymore! I'll sacrifice as many buildings as I have to!

"The black devil that opposed mankind."

Is that how history will record this?

What a horrible act...

But... it might be appropriate for me.

Not even these flames can burn away all of my unatonable sins.

That won't work on me!

It is getting warmer in here...

But it's probably thousands of degrees centigrade out there.

Most of the heat hasn't permeated through.

So it's the same for our opponent, too?

Probably.

We have no choice but to win this battle by force!

You broke through!

Just missed.

You almost had it there.

Burn!

We won...

Zearth won the battle.

The United Air Force had no effect.

When's the next attack scheduled for?

We used up all of our firepower.

So we're out of inventory, huh?

No matter. It's just the flow of money.

There's still the restoration work to make up for it.

Though, that all depends on whether Zearth wins or loses the last battle.

The last job was to pick the next round of pilots.

Let me do it.

No, I'll do it.

Onii-chan.

Ushiro-kun, you're not winning this one.

Please. Let me at least save you.

I won't give it up, either!

This battle started with the fifteen of us, and has to end the same way!

Seki-san...

Thank you so much for volunteering to be part of this with my mother.

Ushiro-kun...

Looks like it's decided.

Yeah. Please.

Ushiro. Win.

Win and end everything once and for all.

Yeah.

Everything seems to be catching up with me...

Bye bye, Kana-chan.

Where are we?

The Misseji Highlands!

So that's why...

Let's go with her.

Yeah!

The snow is really pretty, Onii-chan.

I know I have no right to wish for something like this, but...

I really wish I could've died on the Earth I grew up on.

I'm sorry, Onii-chan.

If only I could've been stronger, like Kana-chan...

That way... even you, Onii-chan...

Vermillion. We clung to life with all of our strength.

Vermillion. We never stopped to think how disgusting that was.

Because you were so straightforward...

when you said you couldn't see your chair,

I was worried because you looked about to snap, like a branch in winter.

You ran off that day,

throwing a crumpled ball of paper at me.

When my fingers traced the words "please remember me,'

I loudly cried out into the setting sun.

Vermillion. We clung to life with all of our strength.

Vermillion. We never stopped to think how disgusting that was.

We never stopped to think how disgusting that was.
