Tsk, honestly...

He's still sending me this stuff.

My mother was a sniper.

She died when I was a kid.

She got abandoned on the front lines and was left to die.

It's a sniper's typical end.

She was a pretty strange mother, the kind who would

give her daughter a handgun for her birthday.

But she loved me as much as any mom.

That's why...

I always hated him for leaving me alone.

Good morning, Tohka.

Mornin'.

Strange to see you training.

If I don't once in a while, I'll get rusty.

Yeah. You couldn't even cut through it.

Nice.

We could probably earn some ad revenue by putting videos of stuff like that online.

Cutting some rifle bullets in half or something.

Well, I did cut a .45 ACP round in half once...

but anything going over 300m/s might be hard.

Err, you know, you...

You're pretty dangerous.

Ladies and gentlemen of SORD, rejoice!

This year's long awaited summer camp destination is...

the Pearl of the Orient!

You mean... the Philippines?

What, an overseas trip?

These stinkin' rich academies are on a whole other level...

Hmm... You're not picturin' some swanky hotel resort or somethin', are you?

It's not gonna be like that?

You'll be staying in an old hut with no electricity, gas, water, or even walls.

Basically, this is an overseas field training exercise.

This year, you'll be competin' against St. Aile's International, from Nagano.

They do special alpine trainin' up there, so you can bet your ass they're tough.

St. Aile's? The one with Ayame-san as their handler, right?

Man, I can't stand that guy.

I have a question!

How many chickens will we be allocated this year?

I'll let ya take two. That's yer lot.

Thank you very much.

No restrictions on the use of electronic devices?

Night vision, sonar, and the likes.

Fine by me.

Roger.

How about restrictions on the type and amount of ammo?

.260 Remingtons are okay, right?

I'll allow anythin' up to .308 Winchesters.

Got it.

This is bad!

What's wrong?

Miss Arisaka's face is white as a sheet!

You'll be fine!

You'll just be the "general" that the opponent's try to capture

M-Me, a general?!

Will they be after my head?!

Don't worry, you'll have Aoi as your personal bodyguard.

He may not look it, but he's pretty strong. So relax.

Leave it to us!

Master and I will protect you!

Oh, almost forgot. Fukami Rena an' Inohara Maki are on medical leave.

You're staying at the academy.

Huh?!

What?! But I was really looking forward to it!

You were too, right, Maki?!

I don't really care.

I'm not gonna be with Master...

Something awful's happened, Detective! The Mackerel Golfer's been murdered!

M-Murdered, you say?!

It sucks that you can't go on the summer trip.

It's okay. I swear I'll keep Haruto safe. You don't need to worry.

Yeah... Thanks.

Number 1, Ikoma Murasaki! On rappel!

Right, well, my turn.

I saw a kitten eating chicken in the kitchen. Just kidding.

Okay, it's our turn.

We go on three. Ready...

Wait! Are we going down on three? Or after three?

On three.

O-Okay...

One... Here we go!

I'm gonna die!

The road ahead has naught but darkness. I'm a goner.

The world ain't comin' to an end just 'cause you couldn't go on the trip.

But I'm not gonna see Master 'til next week...

What should I live for 'til then? Who should I kill for 'til then?

Somethin' good's bound to pop up if you stay alive.

You mean something like the simple things in life?

What?!

I've got it! Let's go have some fun!

Huh?

I'll teach you how to release those endorphins!

We're supposed ta be restin', y'know? We can't be goin' out.

Aww, c'mon, it's fine! It'll help us heal up!

Wait, Sis?!

A deserter?

That's what we're saying on paper.

Jeez...

Can I tell you a little bit more, Sis?

Nah, I don't wanna hear that shit. Tell Aoi, he's our guy on the ground.

Naturally. I'll explain it to Haruto as well.

My troops are heading over to join him as we speak.

So what d'you want me to do?

Try to take her in.

But if that's too much, just get rid of her.

You're askin' for a huge favor, y'know?

I'll pay you back.

Tsk, my stupid brother.

Ayame-sama?

Seems there's a deserter from St. Aile's.

So in other words, they're hunting down one of their own students?

I see. Such a coincidence.

What is?

It came to my attention that Fukami and Inohara are absent from their dorm rooms.

Get nice and plump for me.

Since it's already noon, I'll start making lunch to try out new some field recipes.

Um, is there anything I can help with?

Hmm, can I ask you to look after the chickens for me?

The chickens?

Minding chickens is an important job for new soldiers.

You have to search around collectin' eggs every morning and stuff.

O-Okay! Leave the chickens to me!

Go for it, I guess?

Oh, but I'd suggest not giving them names.

Oh, sure. Huh?

Oh no, wait for me!

Still, it's rare seeing you use a bolt-action rifle, Tohka.

It's a memento from your mother, right?

Yeah, but that doesn't make it special.

I'm not gonna carry a high precision rifle around the forest for days or anything.

So you're prioritizing portability since we're out in the mountains.

Good judgment.

Goes without saying. How long do you think I've been doing this?

Don't you want to at least put a bipod on that thing?

Don't need one. I can use my shoes or some rocks. Anything, really.

Um, err...

We appear to have visitors...

Oh, you two are from St. Aile's, aren't you?

Yo, it's been a while.

I'm glad to see you're doing quite well.

Hey, Haruto. Been a while.

What've you been up to? Still slicin' and dicin' as usual?

C'mon, Ayame-san...

You know I'm off the front lines now that I'm a handler like you.

You so much more level-headed than you used to be.

Back then, you'd chop down anything that moved.

That was just cowardice on my part.

Anyway, I heard you've got yourself a deserter.

Sure have. Kumashiro Megumi, first-year.

A mountain trooper with plenty of battle experience.

Real teacher's pet type, too. Never misses a day of class.

Why would a girl like that run away?

It's more like she won't come back.

Where from?

Where you are now.

You know about Operation RS in the Philippines?

The objective was to take down an illicit weapons manufacturer.

We dispatched Kumashiro Megumi and her partner.

But the mission failed.

During the retreat, they were deemed irretrievable and were left behind.

Even though they were backup, the commander despised their presence.

CIRF Commander Barkstone wanted to knock CIRS down a peg.

In other words, it was no accident.

Kumashiro Megumi buried her partner in the jungle,

and is refusing to leave the Philippines.

And since we happen to be here, you want us to do you a favor?

Big Sis isn't happy either.

Why don't you just search for her yourself?

Oh, you'd like me to go there?

On second thought, no.

Wise decision.

Well, hurry up and bring her back. I expect the best from you.

So you'll be assisting us in the search for our dear Gumi?

Gumi?

Oh, pardon me. That's our nickname for Kumashiro Megumi.

How many days has she been in the mountains?

It's been two weeks now.

That's a long time. She must be at her limit.

You underestimate us.

St. Aile's students learn to survive in the mountains for up to two months.

Did you find her partner's body?

We found her in the mountains about 20km away from here.

Pretty impressive that you found her.

See, she was wearing a watch.

We found it when we were searching the site of her last transmission.

Gumi probably set the alarm before buryin' her to help us find the grave.

We found a message from her a few days later, communicatin' her gratitude.

Wait a sec. So she knows that you're looking for her?

Why wouldn't she join up with you?

I imagine it's because she's afraid of getting put on trial.

Those bastards at CIRF abandoned her, and now

they want to put her up in front of a kangaroo court for "disobeying orders."

The school can't stop them, either.

They want us to bring her in so she can clear things up in court.

We radioed her that message,

but we've had no clue of her whereabouts since then.

Gumi may be intending to annihilate the arms manufacturer solo.

Is that all, though?

What d'you mean?

This is just a hunch, but

if we don't catch her soon,

she'll go after the CIRF commander who sold her out, too.

Is the principal okay with this?

She just told me to "clean up Ayame-san's mess."

Yep, knew that. Like a ninja.

Plus, we have the little problem of Rena and Maki going missing.

That's news to this ninja.

They just never stop being idiots.

That's the sisters in a nutshell.

Well, we'll leave that to Min-chan.

Anyway, what's this Gumi girl like?

She's a very diligent girl, with a strong sense of duty.

She's pretty stubborn, too. Says she wants to "die by her rifle."

She's a proper, old school soldier, huh?

The type to spiral down the wrong path without the right guidance.

She had been paired with a specific sniper to balance that out.

She was like a sister to her.

What was her name?

Ariizumi Shiho.

Shiho's... dead?

Three Years Earlier

I was at St. Aile's when I first joined SORD.

Shiho was my spotter while I trained for my sniper permit.

Hey, Shiho... What d'you think about coming to Mihama with me?

Hmm... Sorry, but I can't.

I promised to teach this one sniper girl in middle school.

They say she's a natural. The "Mystic Eye."

Man, that nickname's cheesy as hell.

She didn't exactly choose it herself.

Her name's Kumashiro Megumi, or Gumi for short.

She's pretty spacey and has really pale skin and hair, kinda like you.

Really? Sounds like a pretty cute kid.

Oh, you!

Then treat her the way you treated me, and spoil her rotten, okay?

And Shiho,

let's meet up again someday, if we're still alive.

Yeah. I feel really privileged having worked with you.

Thanks, Tohka.

The pleasure's mine.

I see.

So she's dead.

Are you two the only ones St. Aile's sent over?

Nah, our whole SORD unit of 21 students is on standby here in the Philippines.

If you told her about the trial, that means she still has a radio?

Probably.

We haven't heard a peep outta her since our first transmission.

Well, keep radioing her.

Murasaki.

I've finished checking the antenna for the Thanatos System.

Thanks. Sorry for making you climb up high places all the time.

How is it, Chris?

We've got exclusive use of the ultra- high-speed line for the Thanatos System.

And that's the green light. Thanatos-san?

Yeeees?

Haha, Thanatos-san seems in great condition too!

It sounds like she couldn't care less.

It's that time again, isn't it?

You're here to ask your annoying little questions, right?

Well, I'll cut right to the chase.

Can you provide us with some details on that illegal arms manufacturer?

You've heard about the theft of a Filoviridae pathogen from a Russian biochemical laboratory three months ago, right?

That was carried out by mercenaries in the employ of their leader, Gueran.

He wanted to use it as a biochemical weapon,

which caught CIRF's attention.

Is that information reliable?

Gueran's definitely up to something suspicious.

He's receiving surprisingly little money for dealing with biochemical weapons.

So this outfit's about as shady as you can get, basically?

Pretty much. Gueran is currently hiding out in his personal villa.

I can make out eleven guards at the villa.

Based on the number of guards left at the factory,

there should be eighteen guards protecting him.

Murasaki, Tohka.

What?

In three hours' time, we'll leak Gueran's location to Kumashiro Megumi.

Head to the villa before she has time to act on the new intel.

I want you to find out what position she's likely to snipe from, and then follow her.

Roger.

So you want us to keep ourselves totally outta sight, yeah?

Right.

As for you two, keep an eye on Gueren.

Depending on the situation, we may need to storm the premises.

I want you armed and ready.

Understood.

So, should we have some lunch before the mission?

I imagine that curry works best for a group of this size.

Can you gather the ingredients, Murasaki?

Aye aye. The usual?

Yes, please.

Ah, I'll lend a hand too. I know a good spot for 'em.

Hey, what weapons does Kumashiro Megumi have on hand?

Hmm. Well, she always has her sniper rifle around.

Is something wrong?

Why does every kid we meet carry such awful, complex problems?

If that's how you think of them, it shows how you've had it pretty easy.

If the thought of those girls convinces you to keep going in times of trouble,

it means their suffering hasn't been in vain.

Yeah, you're right.

They're still capable of having a good laugh.

Instead of worrying about their past, I should focus on our time together.

Yes. If you can laugh along with them after learning what they've been through,

it means Mihama made the right decision to hire you.

Thanks! Right, I'm going to help prepare the curry!

Kujirase-san, let me help too.

Thanks. Could you peel the carrots for me?

Okay!

I'm back.

Ah, bring those over here.

Are those the potatoes?

Huh?

Eep!

What's wrong? Miss? Miss?!

Man, I'm so full.

So that's what they mean about Japanese ramen being better.

That was amazin'!

I always knew you'd end up on the same level as me, Sis...

Getting that Meat n' Veg Ultra Max Belly-Burster Special down!

The hell did that guy call you "Clean Sweep Rena" for, though?

Ah, this is heaven.

It's all thanks to Master that I can enjoy this...

You're always talking about that Haruto guy.

Well, he's the reason you're here, isn't it?

You're happy to serve him, right? Aren't you?

Not a chance...

Nah, that'd be a lie.

He bought you a new bike, and he's allowing us to be together again.

I guess.

I wouldn't mind, y'know?

Hmm? Mind what?

If you fell in love with him too.

What the hell are you talkin' about?

I've told you a million times, I hate the guy!

You're the one he likes, anyway.

Sis?

Jeez... I just don't know.

But the most important person to me, well...

Do you really think she'll come?

Probably, yeah.

Hey, Tohka.

Let's say there was someone you shared everything with, both the good and bad.

What would you do if that person, your one and only partner, got killed?

If it were me, I'd show up in court.

That's what I'd like to say, but, well...

Who knows?

If it were to happen for real, I might go after my commanding officer...

just like my father did when my mother got sent to her death.

Hey, Gumi. You can hear me, right? Let's head back to Japan together.

Sorry, Senpai. There's still something I need to do.

One task I have to complete.

Shiho-senpai, her mission incomplete, allowed me to escape with her sacrifice.

Her soul must be consumed with regret.

To shamefully return to Japan alone without completing our task

would only bring shame to St. Aile's.

Hey, you listenin'? I swear, another moment or two and...

I'm really gonna snap.

Eep! I-I'm not afraid of you!

It's hardly rare for you to lose your temper, Vel-senpai!

Bet you're just chowin' down on frogs out there, right?

Come back to Japan with us, and I'll treat you to all the beef bowls you can eat!

Beef bowls?

Shiho-senpai! A beef bowl after a mission really is wonderful, isn't it?

Yes, it's fast, cheap, and something anyone can enjoy.

A society where anyone can eat them is truly peaceful.

However...

We are the ones who must protect that privilege.

Beef bowls are the taste of peace.

Agreed, Senpai!

Vel-senpai passing me Gueran's coordinates means what I think it does, right?

She's telling me to avenge Shiho-senpai, isn't she?

The target is a terrorist organization.

There's little I can hope to achieve on my own.

Even so...

I wish to follow in Shiho-senpai's footsteps and die a glorious death.

Hear that, you two? Kumashiro Megumi just set off one of our sensors.

I've sent the coordinates to your device.

Compare it with your hand-drawn map.

Point A. Just as you predicted, Tohka.

She came in along the ridge...

All right, let's get movin' ourselves.

Overlaying satellite images with her most recent location.

Sending to every device. Please confirm.

St. Aile's, standby near Gueran's villa. Be ready to storm in.

This is Assault Team A.

We're on the west side of the parkin' lot.

When's the sniper team arriving?

We've just reached Point K. Now headin' to Point W.

You'd better hurry.

If Kumashiro Megumi takes out the target first...

the assault teams will be in trouble.

I know.

Distance, 410 meters. We've got wind coming in from the left at 4 m/s.

Okay, I've got him.

Enemy down.

One more approaching. Don't shoot, though.

Team A won't be able to retrieve the body.

Roger.

3... 2... 1...

Fire!

Recoverin' the body...

You haven't lost your touch since transferrin' out to Mihama, I see.

Well... Thanks, I guess.

Assault Team, Sniper Team. Standby until further orders.

Roger. Velvet of Assault Team A, over an' out.

Roger that. Sniper team, over and out.

Do you think Kumashiro Megumi will go back home if we just let her kill Gueran?

Who knows?

She'd at least've accomplished her original objective.

What if she went after that CIRF commander instead?

Our orders are to stop that, even if it means killing her.

Doesn't sound like a fun job.

Who took out the guard over by the east passage?!

None of us moved a muscle down here.

Then that means...

She's here. It's Kumashiro Megumi!

Point A, probably!

Probably?! What the hell do you mean?!

How d'you expect me to confirm?! She erased all signs of her position.

This is bad, Tohka. The searchlight...

It's gonna pass over the corpse!

Distance, 482 meters.

Wind from the right at 5 m/s. Quick!

Tsk, does this girl even have a plan?!

Shit. The searchlight stopped movin'.

Want us to crash the place now?

Assault Team B, do you copy? What's your position?

The building's coming into view now.

If you want to get started, we'll storm the place from our side.

Understood.

You heard her, Tohka.

Take out as many as you can so that Assault Team A can enter from the front.

Okay. I'll mop up the rest, then.

She nabbed him first?!

Kumashiro Megumi!

Let's move on. There's the one on the front balcony.

Okay, next up...

Again?!

Hmm, she's got skills. It'd be almost a waste to kill her.

Now's not the time!

Shit! Two people left the building!

The body's been discovered!

Can you take them out before they set off the alarm?

Hey!

Which one first?

The one on the right's closer to the alarm—

No, wait! Kumashiro Megumi should've noticed too!

I'll go for the other one!

Distance, 412 meters. Right wind blowing at 6 m/s.

Ah...

Dammit!

We had the same idea, and went for the same guy!

Sorry! I let one of them get away!

It's all right.

This is Assault Team B. Target silenced.

You did well, Margaret.

Shit, a chopper! Hide!

Is it Gueran's?

Chris, can you ID that helicopter?

Thanatos-san, hack into the villa's security system, would you?

Who's that guy?

Zooming in on the picture.

ID him.

Confirmed.

89 percent match with William Barkstone, CIRF Center of Operations personnel.

What the hell does this mean? What's Barkstone doin' at Gueran's villa?!

Were the both of them accomplices from the beginning?

Ayame-san, don't tell me you knew this all along?

We had our suspicions, but we couldn't make a move.

A phantom, on the other hand... Phantoms don't exist.

They don't leave a trace, nor seek glory for themselves...

All a phantom trigger leaves behind are results.

We may have a fancy acronym now with SORD,

but we're still just as despicable!

Back then, we didn't take responsibility for our actions.

No one ever questioned what we did.

We used to be stray dogs, but now we're the owners.

We're taking responsibility.

How?

I'll get us permission to engage.

We have to storm the building right now!

We'll fail the mission if we wait any longer.

Wait! I'll be done in a moment.

What's the meaning of this?!

Sengoku Ayame, heir of the Sengoku clan, reporting in!

Sorry for the wait, Haruto.

Eliminate all the terrorists posthaste. Do it however way you wish.

Even Barkstone?

That guy's a terrorist too. Kill him.

Roger.

Well, you heard the man. We're going in.

Velvet of Assault Team A, at the ready.

Shishigaya of Sniper Team, at the ready.

Assault Team B, you're heading in first.

Status check.

We're ready to go anytime.

Thanatos-san, can you cut the power to Gueran's villa?

I can, but that'd leave zero visibility for ourselves, you know?

That will not be a problem for us.

You see...

We can see in the dark.

Go on my signal.

Tohka!

Yeah?

Let off that huge firework.

Roger.

Mission's a go.

It's total havoc for them!

Team A, time to get movin'!

Listen up, you choir girls! Let's move!

Comin' through!

Hey there, terrorist scum!

Makin' sure to "love thy neighbor"?

Hostiles! They've breached the wall.

Hey now...

I was in the middle of sayin' hello.

It's common Christian courtesy to greet thy neighbor, y'know?

So...

Good evenin', SORD here.

Nice meetin' ya.

And also goodbye...

They're here! This way!

I'm done greetin' these guys.

You girls deal with 'em however you see fit.

Yah! Feel God's wrath rain down upon you!

Don't worry. God is merciful.

He'll forgive even pieces of shit like you, I'm sure.

Go rest in peace.

Although, I won't be forgiving ya sorry lot.

What's going on?! What's the meaning of this?!

Did you set me up?!

I should be askin' you that!

Bet you were just itchin' to sell me out!

They've taken the ground floor!

We're holding the stairs, but not for long!

All right, I'm gettin' the fuck outta here!

Hang on!

You got rid of the list of goods I sold you, right?!

All the files are in that case!

You'll have to get rid of 'em yourself!

Shit! We've got to get out of here!

There they are, Tohka.

Tohka?

Be quiet a sec.

What're you doing, Kumashiro Megumi?

You're gonna let your target get away.

Shiho-senpai!

Haruto-san, William Barkstone has been terminated,

and his documents have been retrieved.

Thanks.

Now there's just Gueran left.

It seems like he fled into the mountains in the confusion.

Suits us perfectly.

We have St. Aile's elite mountain troops.

No one gets away from them.

Shit, what the hell was that?

How did this happen?

Why's it so quiet around here?

Hey, where are you guys?!

Wh-What?!

Who the hell are you people—

This is Assault Team B.

Gueran has been neutralized, Haruto-san.

The moon is beautiful tonight.

Good work.

Right, next up.

We've got a problem!

What happened?!

Sophia and Laurie are missing!

How could that be—

Uh... Who?

The chickens!

The chickens in my care are missing!

Ahh... They might've been spooked by all the gunfire.

And seriously? You gave the chickens names?

I'll go and look for them!

Ahh...

Will she be safe?

Well, I guess all of our targets are dead.

We've just got one thing left:

Kumashiro Megumi.

Shiho-senpai...

I did it. I've avenged your death.

But what am I to do now?

What should I do?

After the mission comes the beef bowl.

She's on the move.

The mountain air has shifted.

Oh, good job, Ninja.

When something non-native, like a person, moves in the forest,

the vegetation starts to respond, and it creates tiny ripples.

At the center of those ripples is your target.

That's what my dad taught me.

Your father? Not your mother?

Yeah. My father used to be a sniper, too.

I didn't know that.

Well, you wanna know somethin' else?

After he shot dead the commanding officer who left my mother for dead,

he fled into the mountains.

I was just a kid, but I tracked him down.

I found him, and I shot him.

Seven Years Earlier

You shot him?

Your own father?

Yeah.

He still walks around the prison with a limp.

What a stupid man.

You really think so?

What are you gettin' at?

You don't understand why he ran off alone and left you behind?

He didn't want his daughter to bear the consequences of his revenge.

However, the organization ended up using you to track him down.

I think he must have known all along...

that his beloved daughter was the one tracking him down.

He tried to buy your way out of dodge,

but now you're calling him stupid.

I'd feel sorry for him,

but who knows.

I'm sure you understand how your father and past self felt back then.

Oh, shut up.

Acting on your feelings can end up hauntin' you the rest of your life, y'know?

Haunts me, and my father.

Nothin' good comes from revenge.

Tell that to Kumashiro Megumi.

That's why we're capturing her alive.

Shiho-senpai... I really did my best.

Can I have a large bowl today? No, extra-large...

Are you done yet?

I'm really not fond of this... It's pretty humiliating...

Lift your butt a little higher!

Like this?

Stop shufflin' around so much! It's tickling me.

I told you to bring a bipod.

Oh shut it.

I can't use my bag, since it won't give me the right height and angle.

We're adapting Creedman's techniques to a two-person structure.

My mom and dad used to do this a lot.

Just get it over with.

Okay, here we go.

I'm Ikoma Murasaki, from Mihama Academy.

I'm usually a ninja, but today, I came to serve as a human bipod.

And the short girl playing it cool with the moonlight shining down her back?

That's Shishigaya Tohka.

She's the one responsible for getting you into this predicament.

Shishigaya...

Tohka-san?

Gumi.

If you carry on in this line of work, you might meet Tohka, too.

You may even lose to her.

When that time comes, don't resent her.

Just do as she says. Let her teach you.

I'm sure you will cherish your time with her in the years to follow.

Shiho... senpai...

Ah, she's crying.

You made her cry, Tohka.

Hey! Don't blame it on me!

And don't blubber over a teeny wound like that! It's pathetic!

Tohka-san...

What?

Tohka-san!

What?!

I'm so frustrated with myself!

I want to become stronger...

Much, much stronger!

Ah, man...

You're just like Shiho said you'd be...

Huh?

St. Aile's International School, Mountain Troops Faculty,

Kumashiro Megumi of Class 1-D, reporting in!

I have returned, shameful as it may be.

Welcome back.

You don't look too shabby for someone who has been out in the wild for two weeks.

Yes! In the unlikely event of my capture,

I did not want my shabby appearance to tarnish St. Aile's reputation,

so I took painstaking care of both sets of my school uniform!

Ah, that's old-fashioned of you...

I'm back!

I managed to bring Sophia and Laurie back safe and sound!

Hrmm... Kumashiro-kun.

Yes, sir!

You're hungry, right?

Fancy having some chicken curry?

Yes, sir!

I'll gladly take whatever I'm given, without question!

In that case...

Chris. Would you mind?

Of course, leave it to me!

Huh? Um, wait a moment!

What's wrong?

Um, don't tell me...

Sophia and Laurie are going to be?

I'm sure they'll taste wonderful.

Delicious chicken...

N-N-N...

Noooo!

\h\hI'm the idiot who \hsnuck out for ramen.

I'm the other idiot who snuck out for ramen.

We're back!

What the...

No, wait, you don't even have to tell me.

Damn Nogami, she's a real piece of work.

Is Master not with you guys?

I don't *sniff* smell him *sniff* at all!

He's at CIRF HQ in Akasaka with Tohka-san right now.

So, you manage to reach some agreement with 'em this time?

I won't be losing any sleep over the Barkstone-Gueran incident.

The problem is Kumashiro's refusal to appear in court.

At worst, the kid'll be put down.

Do you see it happening?

They want to punish my scandalous behavior during the case,

so they're looking to get back at me.

You just dragged our name through the mud all over again, dummy.

I'd rather get it muddier than let a kid die.

So whatcha gonna do?

I'll have Kumashiro Megumi expelled from St. Aile's.

Let's see.

Put her to use at your place, Sis.

Is that why you got us involved to begin with?

I do feel bad about that.

You'll owe me for this, dummy.

I'm grateful.

Oh? You're here, Ayame-san.

What the hell are you sayin'?!

Well, I don't need Kumashiro anymore.

Feel free to take her with you.

Whaddaya mean, you don't "need" her?!

A dog that won't do as it's told is worthless.

Same goes for a mongrel that bites, Shishigaya Tohka.

You try sayin' that again!

I'll take my leave now.

This shut-in needs to get back to the comfort of his own room!

What the hell's with you?!

It just means another new friend for you. What're you getting so worked up for?

She fought for the upperclassman that she admired so much,

and for the honor of St. Aile's until the bitter end.

And yet she was betrayed by HQ, left to die on enemy ground.

Now she's been tossed unceremoniously aside by her trusted handler, to boot!

How d'you expect her to trust anyone ever again?

You're such a kind soul, Tohka.

Ow...

Owww! Owwiee! Oww—

You're hungry, right?

Not really... I'm not hungry at all...

Right.

Well, I'll cook you something anyway.

Huh? But...

I can only make simple dishes, so no complaints, okay—

Having some brat suddenly dropped in your lap is tough, sure...

But I assume it's hard on you, too, getting thrust here to live with some strange grown-up.

We should make it simple.

Let's get to know each other a bit, first.

What do you like?

I hate guys who won't shut up.

Do you like sweet things?

Do you prefer strawberry ice cream, or chocolate?

Just so you know, I'm partial to mint chocolate.

I hate mint chocolate.

How about rum raisin?

I don't hate that.

Wait a sec, and I'll make you something.

I can only make simple dishes, so no complaints, okay?

Oh, I see.

Instead of trying to catch up to others,

I'm setting an example for someone else, bringing them along in my wake.

That's what it means to grow as a person.

C'mere.

Though looking at it that way,

Haruto's more of a grown-up than I'll ever be.

Man, that's infuriating...

I'm sure letting go of stuff like that is what adulthood's all about.

Want seconds?

Yes, please!

Your laughter is now far away.

tsu

My lonesome sleep is so cold, like a sea in the night.

tsu

Our love comes undone, but so innocently,

chi

tte

on my way home, I wave at your shadow.

chi

tte

shi

I've left that unending story.

shi

The stars shine on my fingers,

shi

and my feelings, my love for you, blooms from them.

My tears flow through the petals and the rain.

tsu

I wonder if I'll reach you?

tsu

I'll see you again, if in a dream.

chi

I rode the ferris wheel at the old amusement park.

chi

I stared forever at the gray city streets

chi

shi

tsu

as they sank into the sunset.

shi

tsu

chi

tta

I lick at the scar on my lip.

chi

tta

I play my role and keep on living.

I sit holding my knees through these days with no answer.

tsu

shi

But the seasons will surely continue to change.

tsu

shi

tte

I'll become an adult first.

tte

I'll remember your innocent smile.

Even today, the cherry blossoms we watched

fall and scatter across the world,

filling it with my feelings, my love, for you.

I'll hold my pain and tears close to me,

tsu

because someday I'll reach you.

tsu

I'll see you again, if in a dream.

If only in a dream.
