Makie...
You were created as a puppet.
And yet, I came to care for you.
And now, you are attempting to form a bond with those who are not human, the enemies of humanity.
How ironic.
Although, I don't know why,
I have a feeling this bond that you are trying to form with them...
...will change the world more than the most powerful weapon.
Goodbye, Makie.
My precious daughter...
I look across the raging war and feel the steady beating of my heart

Friend
A friend...
We're surrounded.
I detect heat.
Are they after you and me?
No.
They had decided to discard her as casually as they might discard an outdated computer.
Their target...
is Makie.
It's me.
We have cut off all power to the Osakabe residence.
We are about to move in.
Understood.
We don't know what combat power mental models possess on their own.
Exercise due caution.
Roger.
This operation is solely focused on Osakabe Makie.
Keep that in mind.
We must prevent the Fog from obtaining intel on vibration warhead manufacture, at all costs.
I see.
So they're trying to do away with the girl before we get the intel.
It's very likely, given that they did not launch an assault from the outside and instead chose to infiltrate this building.
They intend to take out Makie without fail.
They're coming straight for us.
The location of this room seems to be known.
We don't have much time.
Kirishima, can I leave Makie in your care for a while?
Haruna, are you...
I'll be right back.
We have arrived on the second floor.
All right, surround the room.
Secure Osakabe Makie as fast as possible.
Stay calm.
You must be the mental model of the fast battleship, Haruna.
That's correct.
Surrender without resistance.
We will guarantee your safety.
"Surrender without resistance"?
That's right.
Our only goal is to dispose of Osakabe Makie.
Calm down!
It's not our intent to engage you in combat!
Intent?
Allow me to teach you what "intent" means.
This is my intent.
We have no choice!
Fire!
What the?!
I am unhappy tonight.
Very unhappy.
No, Haruharu!
Makie...
Osakabe Makie!
Sorry, Haruna.
I only took my eyes off her for a second and she...
Haruharu.
Hear me out, Makie.
I'm...
...a mental model of the Fog.
So it's true.
I'm sorry.
I didn't intend to deceive you.
Makie...
Hah, look at her.
When she learns Haruna is of the Fog, she reacts like this.
Well, I guess it's only natural.
Humans and the Fog can never become friends.
Kirishima.
Haruna?
I have a favour to ask.
Can you protect Makie?
Huh?!
I'll distract the enemy.
Use that chance to escape this mansion with Makie.
Are you...
We cannot put Makie in danger.
Well, I suppose.
We must learn how the new warhead is manufactured from her.
Yes.
All right, leave it to me.
Thank you.
I guess this is the best I can do with the nanomaterials at my disposal.
Osakabe Makie!
Shrike Two, we have visual on the target!
Initiating attack!
So the developer of the new warhead was not Osakabe Toujuurou,
but Osakabe Makie, the last Design Child.
Humanity fears the prospect of the warhead's manufacturing methods becoming known to us,
so they have decided to eliminate Osakabe Makie.
Man, that's so cruel.
It appears that the new warhead is quite the trump card for humanity.
In any case, what is Haruna thinking?
Why didn't she report directly to me?
The mental model has fled to the back courtyard with Osakabe Makie.
We're going after them.
Yes, sir!
Man, why am I tasked with babysitting?
They don't give up.
I'll crush you.
No, Haruharu!
We were born as weapons.
Those who have lost their lives to my cannon fire probably number in the hundreds.
Until now, their deaths meant nothing to me.
So, I can't become your friend after all, Makie.
Haruna.
Haruna!
Hey, can't you hear me?
Haruna!
What is it?
What's the matter?
Is something wrong with your comm link?
It's fine.
More importantly, how is Makie doing?
Is she all right?
Yeah.
But she hasn't said a single word.
It looks like finding out you were with the Fog was a huge shock.
I... see.
We're currently near the front entrance.
What should we do?
I'll use the decoy to concentrate the enemy in the back courtyard.
Use that opportunity to get Makie out of here via the front gates.
Hey, this is just a suggestion,
but why don't we ask Maya for backup since she's offshore Kamakura?
Her firepower would be more than enough to take out these guys.
No, we can't.
Why?
Maya's firepower would be enough to obliterate the entire unit in an instant.
Why is that a problem?
Makie does not wish it...
Hey, Haruna!
Hey!
She cut me off!
In any case, why hasn't this girl budged at all?
Yotarou.
Do you think... Haruharu got away okay?
Huh?
Those scary people are probably here to get rid of me.
So as long as she stays away from me, Haruharu should be safe.
This is all I can do for Haruharu...
This girl...
Yotarou, a long time ago... I made a bomb.
I didn't even know what it was.
But I knew that if I did it, Dad would be happy.
Dad would praise me.
So I worked really hard to design the vibration warhead.
But when it was finished, I was left all alone...
And... And you know, that bomb was made to kill the Fog...
to kill Haruharu and her friends.
That's why...
I never deserved to become friends with Haruharu in the first place.
All autonomous multi-ped combat vehicles,
the Rock Crabs, have been deployed.
Who knew we'd need to send these in to neutralise a single child.
Monster...
Target the mental model and Osakabe Makie!
Fire!
Not good.
My processing speed's decreased.
I can't maintain the decoy.
That's not Osakabe Makie!
All units, retreat!
Urgent directive to all units!
Locate the real Osakabe Makie!
Makie...
We have a message from Platoon 3.
Report.
The mental model in the back courtyard did not,
in fact, have Osakabe Makie with her.
What's going on?
It was a sophisticated decoy.
Crap...
They figured it out!
I-It's Osakabe Makie!
Damn!
What?!
Why's it so small?!
Damn it!
This body's not gonna cut it!
Y-Yotarou?!
Makie, get down!
Yotarou, you can talk?
I-I'll explain later!
First, we need to get out of here, now!
We can't.
Did you hear what they said?
Haruharu's fighting in the back courtyard right now, right?
Well, that's...
We have to go help her.
Don't be an idiot!
But!
Do you think Haruna wants to drag you into the fight?!
But...
Directive to all units.
We have a visual on target.
Neutralise both target and mental model as soon as possible.
Repeat: Neutralise as soon as possible.
I am the fast battleship Haruna of the Fog.
Combat is my sole reason for existing.
Indeed, the reason I am trying to protect Makie is to learn how vibration warheads are made.
That is all.
And yet, why cant I kill them?
What is this?
What is this turmoil inside of me?
Haruharu!
Makie?!
We've found Osakabe Makie!
Makie!
No...
No!
I...
I don't want to lose Makie!
Fire!
Haruharu?!
Makie, why are you here?
I-
No!
I still like you, Haruharu.
I am of the Fog.
That doesn't matter!
I don't think you'll ever forgive me for making that bomb, but...
Makie...
But, I don't want this.
You're my friend.
I don't want to lose my friends.
Makie.
Haruharu!
This is bad...
I can't discharge the absorbed energy fast enough.
I don't have much nanomaterial left, either.
They'll break through to us if I don't do something.
Damn it!
If I at least had my physical body,
I could smash these crabs into pieces!
Are we done for?
Am I unable to protect Makie, after all?
I don't care who.
Someone... someone, help us!
Help!
Anyone!
What?!
What's going on?
The Rock Crabs are being obliterated!
This is-
401!
Scan complete.
No life signatures.
All right.
Attack at will.
Attacking at will.
Haruna, what are you doing here?
I...
We're protecting Makie... protecting a friend.
I see.
Then I'll help.
Iona's coordinates, confirmed.
We have the data on her surroundings.
Going to monitor.
All right.
Attack while avoiding life signatures.
Sweep the area clean of all unmanned weapons.
Captain, incoming message from Assistant Secretary Kamikage.
Patch him through.
What are you doing, Chihaya Gunzou?
You must know.
Do you intend to turn the military against you?
We are not working for the military.
You only asked us to deliver the vibration warhead to America.
That is all.
So you'll do as you please otherwise?
Yes.
You are about to commit a grave mistake.
We're going on the offensive.
Kyouhei, give them a show.
Roger!
Awesome.
80 percent of the Rock Crabs are destroyed!
It's no use!
We can't maintain our position any longer!
Directive to all units!
All men, retreat!
A m-mental model!
R-Retreat!
Retreat!
The battle is over.
We made it.
Um, Haruharu.
You know, I...
Makie.
Haruharu?
Makie, I have a favour to ask.
Will you be my...
our friend?
I'm included?
Haruharu...
Okay!
401...
Why did you save me?
Because I heard you.
What?
I heard you call for help.
So I came.
I see.
I did.
Hmph!
401, you have my thanks,
but we could've handled them ourselves.
Who are you?
I'm Kirishima!
Chihaya Gunzou, correct?
Where do you intend to go from here?
To our stronghold.
- Iwoto -
Where am I?
Huh?
W-What's this?
Takao, what'd you come here for?
