SSSS.GRIDMAN

Twenty-three! Twenty-four!

Twenty-five! Twenty-six! You've got this, Narisako!

Twenty-nine! Thirty! Thirty-one!

Thirty-two! Thirty-three! Thirty-four! Come on ladies!

Thirty-five!

Oh. You're awake.

Good morning. If it is.

You were out for almost half an hour and I couldn't wake you up.

Do you feel alright?

Um. I'm not in pain or anything.

You had me nervous.

Collapsing and passing out like that.

Want to wash up?

Over there. Bathroom's that way.

Who is that girl?

And for that matter, who am I?

What's going on? I can't remember anything.

Does that mean... Did I lose my memory?

Yuta!

Yuta?

Yuta!

Is that my name?

Yuta!

Yuta!

Yuta!

A computer?

I am a Hyper Agent. Gridman.

Cool. I think. Nice to meet you, Gridman.

You have to remember your calling.

Wait, I have a calling?

What're you doing?

I'm just talking with this guy.

Who?

Gridman.

There's nothing on the screen.

Huh? He's right there.

Huh?

Only I can see him?

Wait. Does that mean I'm hallucinating?

'Kay, Hibiki. You're acting weird.

Gridman told me I had to remember what my calling is.

Your calling? Like what you're called?

No, something else I think.

Huh? Then what do you mean?

Where are we, anyway?

Home. But to you, it's the shop.

Whose?

Mine, of course!

Yeah, but that doesn't tell me who.

"Doesn't tell you?" Who do you mean by who?

Who, you.

Look. Don't screw with me.

What? I'm not kidding! I can't remember.

You, this place, anything.

You're serious?

A total blank.

Like memory loss?

Right! That's it!

Don't screw with me.

Rikka. Do me a favor and stop being so loud.

Mama.

Maybe it's a good idea for you to walk him

over to the hospital.

Huh? Why me?

Oh, I'm sorry. Aren't you two in the same class together?

Aw...

If he's suffering memory loss,

it could mean he hit his head on something.

You really don't look so good.

You're telling me. I keep seeing and hearing things.

The mist sure is thick.

Is it?

It doesn't feel normal.

What is it now?

Behind you! Up there!

There's a kaiju! It's humongous!

Huh? Where at?

Just beyond the mist!

I don't see anything.

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

Let's get moving before the hospital closes.

Hey, if you lost your memory,

does that mean you don't remember anything

that happened today?

Nope.

I see. Okay.

But, if you are just pretending to have amnesia,

then you really suck.

Uh. Did something happen?

So how did it go?

A lot of it went over my head, but they said I'd be back

to normal before long.

Least there's that.

Oh, hey, do you even have an insurance card?

Insurance?

You can go home, right?

Mm. Thanks for taking care of me.

Mm-hm.

Well, see you.

See you.

What's wrong?

I don't exactly know where to go.

You forgot your home address too?

Well, I don't have a clue where you live either.

Wait, hand me your cell phone.

Oh, right.

I'll text Utsumi.

He could probably be able to help out.

Ah, okay. Yeah. I know where this is. Got it.

But it's pretty far from here.

You don't say.

On top of that, it's already seven!

And I am starving.

Why was I sleeping at some girl's house anyway?

I'm not just some girl. The name's Rikka Takarada.

Hm?

And, Hibiki, we found you lying unconscious in front of our

place and nothing we did could wake you.

What do you mean? Uh, do we have a history?

Are we friends?

Got a newsflash.

Today is the most we've ever spoken to each other

since we were put into the same classroom.

Oh, I see.

That hit the spot.

Uh?

Whoa... What's up with him?

Should I leave you here?

Huh? No, I'm ready to go.

This is the address.

Awesome. I'll be off then.

Utsumi said he'd come by and pick you up tomorrow morning.

Great. Thanks for everything.

Bye.

I'm home.

It's dark...

After looking around the house,

I discovered my parents were on a business trip.

They wouldn't return home for three months.

It seemed unreal, like someone else's life.

Gridman. Does he exist?

Or was it a hallucination?

You wouldn't happen to be Utsumi, would you?

It looks like you weren't kidding

about having memory loss.

You don't even remember my face, do you?

I'm sorry, no.

Whatever.

We only started getting to know each other in April.

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

Thanks. So um...

What is it?

You know... What kind of person am I?

That's a heavy question to suddenly drop on me.

What kind of person are you? Let's see...

I'd describe you as... regular.

Not a bad guy at all.

By the way, you wouldn't happen to have heard of

something called Gridman?

Nope. Is it a new trend?

I wouldn't say that.

So get this, yesterday when I was...

Guess what? I saw you two yesterday.

You were walking side-by-side with Hibiki.

He's a boy.

Yeah? So what's the big deal?

Thanks again for everything.

Aw! You two are gonna get married!

I can't breathe!

Your desk is back there. By her.

You're so slender, I'm jealous.

I don't know if I would agree!

Hey.

Hm?

Look, my friends are giving me hard time

when you're around.

I get it. So I should probably avoid talking to you.

I never said that. Just give me some space.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean.

Ugh, never mind.

Let's eat lunch outside.

Uh. I didn't pack anything.

Because of your memory loss?

Yep. My brain's at its limit just dealing with school.

Here you go.

Uh...

I bet you're starving.

But you're not the type to let on, are you, Hibiki?

Like a samurai.

I'm sorry, you're...?

Akane Shinjo.

You know, it's almost like you're a new student.

Since you can't remember anything.

That's right. I can't remember anything at all.

This is a special dog. I've got two, so one is yours.

That's really nice of you.

-- Not at all. -- Whoa! Heads up!

Paging Inui,

you have a telephone call on line one.

Inui, you have a call on line one.
