SSSS.GRIDMAN

23! 24! 25! 26!

Narisako, you've got this! 29! 30!

-31! 32! 33! 34! 35! -Keep it up!

Oh, you're awake.

Good morning...

You were out for 30 minutes and I couldn't wake you.

Are you feeling all right?

Yeah, there's nothing particularly hurting.

You suddenly collapsed and fell asleep, so you really startled me.

Want to wash your face?

The washroom is over there.

Who is that girl?

For that matter, who am I? Wait, what is this?

I can't remember anything. Oh, no, I've lost my memory...

Yuta!

Yuta...

Yuta!

Is that my name?

Yuta!

Yuta!

Yuta!

SSSS. GRIDMAN

The computer?

AWAKENING

I am a Hyper Agent, Gridman.

Okay. G-Gridman?

You have to remember what your calling is.

My calling?

What are you doing?

Oh, that guy was calling to me.

-Who? -Gridman.

There's nothing on the screen.

Huh? No, but there was...

Only I can see him...

Huh? Am I hallucinating?

Hibiki, you're acting weird.

Gridman told me to remember what my calling is.

Your calling? Like your full name?

-Probably not. -Huh? What are you talking about?

-Where is this place? -Home. This is the shop.

-Whose? -Mine!

Yeah, but my question is, who?

Okay, and I mean, who... do you mean by whom?

You.

Now, look, are you messing with me?

No, I'm serious. I really can't... Can't remember anything.

Stop kidding.

-I have no memories. -You have memory loss?

-Yeah, that's it. -Are you messing with me?

Hey.

You're being too noisy.

Mama.

Rikka, why don't you take him to the hospital?

Huh? Me?

Of course, you. You're in the same class, right?

If he has memory loss, he might have hit his head.

You really don't look so well.

-Yeah, I keep seeing and hearing things. -Remember your calling.

Isn't this mist a little thick?

Is it?

Yeah, this is thick, right?

What is it?

Up there! Up there! There's a giant monster! A giant monster!

-Where? -Beyond the mist!

There's nothing there.

No, no, no, I see it! It's there!

Let's get moving, before the hospital closes.

Hey, if you have no memories,

does that mean you don't remember anything that happened today?

Yeah.

I see.

But still, if you're just pretending to have memory loss, you really suck.

Did something happen?

How did it go?

I didn't quite get everything, but anyway,

they said I would probably be back to normal before long.

What's up with that? For that matter, do you even have your insurance card?

What's that?

You can go home now, right?

Yeah. Thanks for everything.

Yeah.

Well, see you.

See you.

What's the matter?

I don't know where I live.

Huh? You've forgotten that, too?

I don't know where, either.

Let me see your cell.

Oh, yeah.

Utsumi would probably know where you live...

5-33-7-402 TSUTSUJI, NERIMA, TOKYO

Okay, okay, got it.

But then, this is pretty far.

It is?

And it's already 7:00!

Oh boy...

I'm getting hungry.

SEVEN TWO ONE TOBACCO LIQUOR ATM

Why was I even sleeping at some girl's home?

Not "some girl." Rikka Takarada.

That's my name.

Hibiki, you were passed out in front of our place, and we couldn't wake you.

What do you mean? How are we involved?

Are we friends?

I hate to burst your bubble,

but this is the most we've ever spoken since we were put in the same class.

Oh, I see...

That hit the spot.

Wow, what's up with him?

I'll leave you here.

Oh, never mind.

HIBIKI

This is it.

Okay, I'll be off.

A guy named Utsumi said he'll come pick you up tomorrow morning.

Okay. Thanks for everything.

Bye.

I'm home.

It's dark.

After looking around the house,

I found that my parents were on a business trip.

They wouldn't be home for three months.

It all seemed so unreal, like it was someone else's life.

Gridman. Did I really just...

Was it a hallucination?

Are you Utsumi?

Looks like you really do have memory loss, huh?

You've even forgotten my face?

Sorry.

Well, whatever. We only really got to know each other in April.

We'll just pretend we've become friends again.

Thanks. So anyway...

What is it?

What kind of person am I?

What a messy question. What kind of person, you ask?

I'd have to say normal.

Yeah.

You aren't a bad guy.

You wouldn't happen to know what Gridman is, would you?

No, what's that? Some new trend?

No, I wouldn't say that.

As it happens...

Hey, I saw you yesterday!

You were walking with Hibiki yesterday, right?

He's a boy.

So what?

Oh, thanks again for yesterday.

-Hey! -Hey!

-Little fibber! -You're hurting me!

-You've got a guy! -I do not!

Yuta, your desk is over there.

You've got such slender features.

I wouldn't say that.

OUT OF ORDER

Hey.

My friends are giving me a hard time.

You mean I shouldn't talk to you so much?

I'm not saying that, but let me have my space.

Sorry, I don't understand.

Look, never mind.

Let's eat outside.

Oh, I don't have any lunch.

You forgot to pack lunch?

My brain’s at its limit just dealing with school itself...

You can have this.

Hibiki, are you the "stiff-upper-lip- even-when-hungry samurai" type?

Akane Shinjo.

Looks like your memory loss has turned you into a transfer student, huh?

Yeah, I really can't remember a thing.

This is a special dog. I have extra, so you can have it.

Oh, thanks.

-Not at all. -Watch out!

Paging Inui. You have a telephone call on line one.
