Gibiate (ジビエート)

So this projects an image of me?

That's right.

Give us an introduction, Kenroku!

What? You already started?

Ahem.

I'm Sanada Kenroku, a lower member of the Sanada family.

Don't know why, but I've come here to Japan in the future.

Originally I served my clan,

but the moment I thought about leaving the clan

to live a quiet life with the woman I fell in love with,

a rotten magistrate forced himself on her.

I stormed his place to make him suffer a bit,

but I went overboard and killed him.

So then I was exiled, spirited away,

and now I'm here.

You really loved her, didn't you?

Hah, don't ask such a stupid question.

Oddly enough...

Kenroku!

You kind of resemble Okuni.

Sanada Kenroku

"The Third Man"

Kenroku, are you okay?

Yeah. We've found our way into one hell of a place, though.

Still, it's no different than the battlefield.

Maybe slightly better, since we're not facing people.

The camp's in ruins.

Looks like the remaining Gibia withdrew when morning came.

We're the only ones left now,

so we'll have to relocate somewhere else.

Tokyo has a high population density,

so why don't we head into the countryside?

The area around Nagano is surrounded by mountains,

so there might be people who haven't turned into Gibia there,

and up in the Niigata area we could board boats to mainland Asia.

That's it!

If I recall, there should be a Gibiate research facility there in Niigata, too.

Tokyo

All right, let's head for Niigata.

It's not densely populated and there are mountains along the way,

Niigata

so there might be fewer Gibia.

It's settled, then.

Maeda-san...

Kathleen.

Sensui!

Sensui-kun.

In order to develop a vaccine for Gibia,

we'll need more of the venom contained in their stingers.

Would you help us collect it?

We'd be asking you to cut down as many Gibia as possible.

All right.

I want to retrieve our Gibia Virus samples before we depart.

If all goes well, we might be able to obtain a helicopter, too.

Please come with me.

This is where we had a sturdy preservation room

to store the Gibia Virus samples.

We managed to make it this far thanks to you, Sensui-kun.

There's a helicopter on the roof.

I just hope it hasn't been destroyed by Gibia.

Is everyone ready?

From here on, the rooms are dark.

There's guaranteed to be Gibia hiding inside.

Sensui-kun.

We'll be relying on you two,

so please keep us safe until we reach the preservation room.

It's all right, everyone.

There are no more signs of Gibia nearby.

Looks like things are still safe here.

The electricity's still working inside.

You all gather up the food and things we'll need.

I'll go to the preservation room.

You don't need to worry.

Let's set a time to meet up on the roof.

Christ!

Yoshinaga's a cold bastard.

The Doctor is trying to develop a vaccine to save the entire world by himself.

That pressure is huge.

Well, a lot of scholars are like that anyway.

Don't say that, Adam.

It's so close to completion.

Excuse me.

Brian?

What's the matter?

Nothing. We just finished most of what we came here for.

I see.

I'll head up shortly myself.

Yes.

What is it?

I'll head up later. You should return to everyone first.

Um!

Doctor! Will you be able to complete the vaccine?!

Did something happen?

I've lost a lot of my men.

I don't want to lose any more people.

Once your vaccine is complete, we can save many others.

That's when my men's sacrifice will finally be worth it.

I see.

It's almost complete.

Fortunately, we have powerful allies in Sensui-kun and Kenroku-kun now.

We should be able to collect many samples with their help.

Really?!

Yes. We will complete it.

We will develop the vaccine to make Gibia human again.

We've gathered just about everything we need.

Why are you the only one empty-handed, Sensui?!

Because we need him to be able to fight when and if something happens.

That's right! Sensui's our bodyguard!

Are you saying you can't rely on me?

Oh? Did I keep you all waiting long?

No, we just got here.

Well, let's hop into the helicopter and fly to Niigata!

What's wrong, Sensui?

I thought I felt something watching us.

What?! More Gibia?!

No, I'm not sure what it is.

Huh? What's that?

That's... a person?!

No mistake! That's a person!

Yoshinaga!

There's a collapsed person out there!

We have to go help them!

But what if they turn into a Gibia?

We'll just have to cut him down if it comes to that.

However, with so few humans left alive, I'd like to save the ones we can.

Right!

Doctor, I'll pilot it!

That's all right.

I've piloted a helicopter a few times before.

Leave it to me.

Further right!

I'll land in that space near the man!

Wh-What?!

What is that?!

Hmm...

That's a strange bird of paradise flying around.

Is it being chased by a monster?!

I thought you said Gibia didn't come out in bright places?!

That's...!

Hey! Yoshinaga!

That's an abnormality!

We're pulling out for now!
