Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World? (なぜ僕の世界を誰も覚えていないのか？)

An angel?

Or a demon?

-Who are you? -Uh.

Please help me.

Please set me free from these chains.

This is wrong.

You know I'm a human and you're asking me for help?

It doesn't make sense.

The alternate races have waged a fierce war against humanity.

That's the way it's always been.

What's happening? Nothing's right.

This world's a lie!

Why doesn't anyone remember the truth?!

Kai! Can we go?

Relax, you know he's gonna monitor the graveyard

for the full three hundred seconds.

And once Kai gets started,

there's no stopping him.

Come on.

Can we get on with it already?

Not until the timer stops.

The demons, powerful sorcerers.

The celestial's,

demi-humans such as angels and elves.

The spirits, ethereal creatures such as ghosts.

And the mythical beasts,

ferocious colossal beasts such as dragons.

They all stood against humanity

in the Great War of the Five Races.

And we can't allow it to happen again.

It's our duty as the Urza Federation

to observe this graveyard

where the demons have been sealed away.

Three hundred seconds.

No anomalies detected.

The demons remain sealed within the graveyard.

Dude really needs to learn how to lighten up.

You're looking at it wrong.

It gives us the chance to slack off

and take it easy.

Tell me something, Kai.

The demons have been sealed away

a hundred years now.

Has a single one escaped in that time?

Never. And it's all thanks to the H.A.A.

It's our job to make sure it never happens.

-That is true. -Yeah, yeah.

I guess but,

there are four of these graveyards around the world.

So why does it rest on us?

Seems kinda pointless.

Trust me, they take the other sites

just as seriously as this one.

If a single demon were to ever escape,

it'd be disastrous.

Hmm. Yeah, but that's a pretty big "if".

Try to relax, Kai.

No demon's managed to get loose before

so everything's hunky-dory.

I know.

But I can't let my guard down.

Watching the graveyard. It's my duty.

- - Warning.

Kai Sakura Vento.

Training with a mythical beast machine doll

is dangerous for a soldier with a rank as low as yours.

Ugh!

Aah! Uh!

Not enough?

- -Watch out, Kai!

Stop signal confirmed.

Dragon type hologram has been deactivated.

You're too reckless, Kai,

did you hear all those warnings?

It's like you're trying to get yourself hurt.

Training should be risky, or there's no point.

It's too bad you weren't born

during the time of the Great War.

You would've gone down in history.

Me, mentioned in the same pages as Prophet Sid?

That would be an honor,

but there's no way I'm cut out for it.

And you think he thought he was?

It's kinda hard to wrap my head around a human

opposing the heroes of the four races.

The hero of the demons.

Dark Empress Vanessa.

The hero of the celestials.

Heavenly Lord Alfreya.

The hero of the spirits, Spirit Sovereign.

Rikugen Kyoko.

The hero of the mythical beasts.

Fang King Rath-IE.

It's terrifying to imagine them around today.

Good thing for us Prophet Sid defeated the four heroes.

But not without the shining sword

gifted by the Prophetic God, Arsla Solaka.

Not that we can be sure Prophet Sid

and the shining sword even existed.

I mean, there are no surviving videos

or photos of him, unlike the other four heroes.

Maybe not, but it doesn't hurt

to hope that someone like him was around.

Come on, Ashran.

Time to quit moaning and help us think.

We need a gift.

Something to celebrate Jeanne's promotion.

Huh?

Can't we just get her a bouquet of flowers?

Seriously.

Jeanne's getting transferred

to the Urzak royal capital headquarters.

She's only seventeen,

the youngest person in history to be chosen.

She's the elite of the elite!

She'll be swimming in dead petals

from all the bouquets given to her!

Do you really wanna give her

such a boring and lazy gift as flowers?

- -Uh.

-Oh, it's from Jeanne. -Hmm?

"10 a.m. tomorrow, ninth terminal,

meet me in front of the kitten statue".

"And don't let Saki and Ashran know

we're meeting up". Oh, really?

It's not what you think. Jeanne didn't even send this.

Kai. Don't hide it, dude.

You are totally hooking up with Jeanne, aren't you?

You are the worst liar ever.

We could clearly see the text was from her.

I'm going for a run.

-Huh. -Uh.

Ya can't avoid us, ya bastard!

Somebody stop Kai!

He's planning to do lewd things to poor Jeanne!

No, I'm not!

-Kai! -Hmm.

Sorry I'm late.

This is practically on time for you.

I figured I'd have to wait another hour.

I am not that bad!

I've only got one week left before I transfer to Urzak.

I wanna make the most of the day.

However.

Aren't you off-duty today?

Why are you all decked out in your uniform?

Hmm?

I came straight from my morning training.

No time to change.

I think you're the only person

who doesn't mind shopping with me.

I'm glad I texted you.

Wait, did you ask someone before me?

Of course not. I'm only messing with you.

-Hmm. -So serious...

but that's what I like about you, Kai.

You still haven't told me what we're shopping for.

I wanna get presents for Saki and Ashran.

Ah?

Well, the three of you are planning

on getting me a going-away present, aren't you?

Are you really asking me that?

I wanna give you guys something

to remember me by as well.

It'll probably be the last time I see those two.

"Last time," that's a little overdramatic.

Your transfer is for only two years.

It'll feel like no time before you're back here as a cadet.

But they'll be gone.

Their service will be complete

and they'll go back to the civilian life.

Uh.

In two years from now,

you and I will be the only career soldiers

sticking it out.

Yeah, you're probably right.

-Uh... -That's the path we chose.

You've gotta surpass your father,

the Headquarters Chief.

You've told me a dozen times

since we were kids that's your plan.

Your lifelong goal.

I think your numbers are off.

It's a hundred dozen. I kept count.

Thanks again for joining me.

You helped me pick out some good stuff.

Cool, I'm happy to hear it.

You were only ten years old, weren't you?

Y'know, when you accidentally fell into the demon graveyard?

Oh, yeah.

It happened that time your father invited me

along to inspect it with him.

I was so freaked out.

I still remember when you came back ranting

how you saw Sid's sword.

Me too.
