Come home, everybody!

We're so glad to have you back.

I simply can't tell you how thrilled I am you've returned to us safely.

It's important to get off the front lines so you can finally rest.

Oh, hey, come on, I got presents for all of you.

Man, the year really flew by, didn't it?

This is your second Holy Birth Festival.

What a relief that this time I got to give you your gifts.

I'm home again.

I'm home again.

I'm home again.

I'm home again.

I'm home again.

I'm happy for you.

Indeed. We have to have a party now.

Have you finished your arithmetic homework yet?

Your punishments always teach me a whole lot.

My fear out in the.

Independent mobile force.

In short, what it means is we kick Legion ass like we've always done

Yes. This is a proposal from me as an individual with skin in the game to

your request to fight on the front lines. The issue is the foreign officer

will serve as your commander, which may or may not be a problem.

I'm okay with it. Yep, it's fine by me. Yeah, sounds good. Same.

Shen, what do you think?

Western Theater forces bore a 60 % loss.

We're speeding up the curriculum at all of our officer schools, specialist

training schools, and boot camps to replace the lost manpower.

But they won't have adequate training.

Not to mention, despite the Legion losing their combat forces, their

manufacturing facilities remain unharmed.

We have to consider the war situation will only deteriorate from here.

So you're saying unless something changes, humanity will be slowly ground

until we have to accept our loss?

Is that right? Yes.

We'll maintain our defense lines as we have been doing, while putting together

new independent mobile unit that can reign pure firepower on critical Legion

area. I didn't expect you to come up with the same plan we had, though. In

words, a mobile strike force comprised entirely of 86.

Forgive me, sir, but this seems very out of character for you.

You're right about that, but they're the ones who wanted it.

They have their own values and adhere to them with great conviction.

I don't have the right to refuse them out of misplaced pity.

If they still choose the battlefield after all that's happened, I'd like them

be able to stay together.

But as concerns this foreign officer, would the 86 actually be willing to

him as their lead?

We've discussed it.

Believe me, I was worried about the same thing.

But it turns out I never needed to be.

See, after all...

This is for me, if you don't mind.

Thank you.

It's been a long time, Eugene.

Sorry that I couldn't come sooner.

Eugene, the Western Front is just as it was when you were there.

It's still standing somehow.

A long time ago, you asked why I was fighting.

To be perfectly honest, I still don't know.

I mean, I don't have any real reason to fight, not the way you did.

But I do know this.

I made a promise I would take them all the way to the end.

And when they finally get there, they shouldn't have to see another

The ocean.

What you always hoped your sister would be able to see someday.

I don't really care if I see it.

But still, I want them to see it.

I believe if I can show them something wonderful they've never seen before, at

least for now, that will be enough of a reason to keep fighting.

I'll come back, and next time, I'll tell you about something you've never seen

before.

Marcel. Nina puts those things there.

Remember his little sister?

She keeps writing letters to her dead big brother.

That's my fault. I get it.

Wait a second.

Why did you just accept it?

No, it was me.

All these letters.

I was the one.

Truth is, I made her write all these letters to you.

I was just so angry and frustrated, but I didn't have the guts to place the

blame on myself.

So that's why I pretended it was your fault.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

No, I am.

I owe you an apology.

And her.

I, uh...

It's

Miles. It helped, right?

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Hey, Shin.

Are you gonna change your personal mark or what?

Huh?

You don't like it?

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind painting it, but it's a bit of a bad

This might sound a little weird, but do you really need to carry it anymore?

Good point. You may be right.

Still, how could it be bad if I've had it for six years?

And I don't consider it a burden.

Whatever you say.

Well, it looks like you're over some things.

Or at least, that's just how it's looking to me.

Well, I couldn't say.

With that said, now I think I can handle seeing them off.

It's hard to envision a future without him. At all.

There's nothing left I wish for.

Nor anything I'm seeking.

I still don't have any idea what I'm even living for.

But... I'm starting to paint, okay?

You guys, I...

I have people.

Who would never once dream of leaving me behind.

Who swore that I'm who they want by their side.

So, I think I'm gonna be okay.

I'll get there alone.

Thank you.

Yes, I'm aware.

And I want you to know I never forgot about you.

Because I... I'm the Reaper.

I'll keep fighting.

Because with the Legion keeping this world so closed off to others, I can't

it happen.

It's for their sake.

It's all for their sake.

For her.

It's thanks to you that I was able to come back.

Father, I've returned at last.

A huge Legion offensive began the same night of the Revolution Festival.

Many of my comrades joined this battle, as did I, of course.

Countless people of the 86th District answered my call and bravely fought

alongside us.

I'll never forget.

The Republic has been completely wiped out.

It happened in the space of a week.

Despite that, we still managed to keep a basic line of defense active.

And after two months passed, we finally saw our rescuers arrive.

From far to the east, past Legion -held territory, as well as our own borders.

They, the Giad Federacy...

already had knowledge about the wanton, scorched -earth oppression and slaughter

of the Noble 86.

The survivors of the 86th District were saved, and any of them who want can

leave their current lives behind to become an official citizen of the

The parade of horrors is finally over.

The rescue forces remain here for the time being, providing us a modicum of

support and security, but...

That little brat got more than I did. Do your jobs, why don't you? Can't you

colors give us the equal treatment we deserve?

How did it ever come to this?

There can be no punishment for a citizenry that is unaware of its crimes.

Father, is it possible Uncle was right about that the whole time?

Milite? Is that a... Don't worry about it.

Very well, then.

You already know, it was the brave soldiers of the Geod Federacy, equipped

the latest and most effective weaponry, who valiantly pushed back the battle

lines against the enemy, after which they duly reclaimed the First District,

where we find ourselves today, and quite frankly, right here where we belong.

Would you say that's correct?

Yes. The Federacy has requested we send an officer to help them break the

stalemate north of District 1 and retake the land stolen by the Legion. This is

not an insignificant development.

I'm told you've volunteered to lead the unit assigned to this task.

Can we count on you?

I will not let you down.

As your superior officer, I couldn't be more pleased about this.

This is the best decision.

Best of luck to you out there, Colonel.

So you're going to the Federation for sure, then?

Yep.

You don't sound surprised.

After all that's happened?

If something like that could shock me at all, I would have ditched you a long

time ago.

But ever since then, I have to say, you've just been full of surprises.

I've had a whole lifetime's worth.

Huh? The hell?

How is that even possible, though?

Look, it's the raid device the Federation created.

Weirdly, it has the same design as the Republic.

Is it just by chance?

No, no way in hell it's possible. What do you mean?

I mean the Federation made it, but it's got our tech in it.

Nobody could get this thing accomplished without the assistance of a living 86.

But I can't imagine any 86 making deliberate contact with the Federacy

the Legion offensive.

Huh? Huh?

Oh, come on.

Sorry. Well, I guess the answers we need will be waiting for us there.

Annette, why do you have a Federacy raid device in your possession anyway?

Because I volunteered.

Huh? I am being sent as a technology officer.

The Federacy needs me, too.

When you said you were going to do all you could until the end, and I know you

really meant that, I stopped feeling as though my skills were worthless and I

knew I had something to contribute.

It's not just me, either.

Many of the others are jumping on, too.

Therefore, if you're using a pair rate, I'll just have to go with you.

That's it.

We're together again.

Great, right?

I'm sorry.

We're still trying to make all the arrangements.

Oh.

But this doesn't make sense.

It's not that we don't respect your talents, Colonel Milise.

You and the 86 all survived the brutal Legion offensive.

We're glad to have a strong, capable officer like you.

Thank you very much.

I'll do my best until the bitter end.

Then the Federacy awaits you.

I can buy you time if nothing else.

Sorry, Lena. It's time for you to be crushed.

Maybe it'll sink in as you watch your naive dreams shatter against the cold,

hard walls of reality.

Uncle, please.

All I need is just a little more time.

Until my dream inevitably shatters.

Ah, welcome, welcome, the famous bloody Regina. We've been waiting for you.

Now, let's not waste any more time.

There's an important place I want to show you.

I won't forget I won't forget

I won't forget.

I'll fight until I get to

the place they reached.

The place that can only be found by those who are willing to push through to

end.

To keep fighting.

To live life to the fullest.

Keep those kids safe, you hear?

I saw her too, in fact.

Yeah, back then.

I don't remember it well, though.

Just think about the look on his face.

They say she has a black cat with her.

If only it were Kitty.

Right?

Right?

See this?

Oh, wow.

No, cut it off! That won't happen with Shin!

It's not like that with those two!

And besides, I've known him way longer than she has, so she's my little sister!

I win!

The perfect boy meets girl fairy tale!

Beep, beep, beep.

Beep, beep.

Beep.

Hey, I'm going to go surprise him, too!

What was it?

Bloody Regina?

Yeah, that's gross.

Is that how the scene looks to you?

I hope so.

But even if she doesn't, I wouldn't worry.

That might be super fun, too.

I'm sorry I'm late, Mr. President.

Let's get started.

It's fine.

Time spent remembering a lost loved one is time well spent.

Now, without further ado, let me introduce you to your new team.

Oh, you mean right this minute?

Yes.

So, is that really her?

I'm sure a lot's happened.

You got that right.

My name is Colonel Vladeleina Milibe of San Magnolio Republic.

I'm honored to meet you.

This isn't the first time we've met.

However, it is the first time we've seen each other in person.

It's been a while, Panther One.

I am a Geod Federacy captain, an ex -commander of Spearhead Squadron.

Shinae knows hence my name.

You really are a complete fool, huh?

Raiden! Hey, so is the... Theo!

Thank you.

We all love the cat.

Aren't you?

I'm really happy you're alive.

Karina! Listen up!

It's photo time!

You know,

I've followed you for so long.

I do know.

I finally caught up.

You have.

From now on, I'll fight with you till the very end.
