Kuromukuro (クロムクロ)

What the heck? What are you thinking?

Please take care of Yukina.

Huh? What are you talking about?

I don't think your feelings for her are false.

That's why I will leave her in your care.

In my care?

Please make Yukina happy.

You are being so selfish!

You think Yukina will accept this?

Stop being so selfish, you!

Please.

Good morning!

What's wrong, Sophie? You seem down.

I think I'll go back to France now.

Burnout, is it?

I think so.

I'm relieved I won't have to move, though.

You were going to move?

I told you just that!

Does nobody remember?

You said something like that?

I did!

In that movie of mine you saw,

my message was included at the end of the video.

We didn't see.

Good morning.

Hi! Huh?

You, too, really seem down, Yukina.

Me "too"?

Sophie is returning to France.

So Sophie is also leaving?

What's wrong? Your expression is as if the world were ending.

Besides, where is Ken-chan?

Did something happen?

Want to talk about it?

He said goodbye.

What? He can't do that!

What are you talking about?

Did you break up because of Muetta and Zeru?

I can't even get permission to meet Zeru lately.

Wasn't some important information obtained on the Efidolg mothership?

A message from Zeru-san's planet.

That the final battle against the Efidolg will be fought soon.

Ken wants to travel there and assist?

He intends to open the wormhole?

He wants to attack the enemy-controlled planet?

Can he even win?

Just how much of a Samurai is he?

Huh? He wants to keep fighting the war?

Won't that expose us to another attack?

I don't think we can withstand another attack.

Stop it!

He may be an idiot, but he's not just thinking about himself.

He wants to repay his debt to Zeru and others who saved him in the past.

But to keep fighting after this very close victory?

Why don't you stop him?

He won't stop no matter what I do!

That's just how he is.

He said it.

It's good to be in a world where you can do stupid things.

He will fight for our sake, too.

That's just how he is.

What will you do, Shirahane?

Are you okay with him leaving to fight by himself?

He needs you, doesn't he?

Yes.

I… I… will go with Kennosuke!

You will die if you aren't careful.

Kennosuke wouldn't hesitate to risk his life for me.

What if Ken-chan dies?

I must put my life on the line to protect his.

What is this reciprocity?

But isn't security very strict now?

I'm willing to risk my life to help you get past it!

Doing such a thing will forever bar you from enrolling in the National Defense Academy.

I will not defy my feelings.

Ugh. I guess we have no choice.

Let's help Yukina elope!

Elope?

Yay!

Finally, a chance to sneak onto the Efidolg ship?

Let's do this!

I, too, will go.

I don't think we'll see this world again.

Are you prepared for that?

You will no longer be able to live a peaceful life.

However, there is still hope.

I, too, will go.

You're departing?

Are you sure about this?

You really are a person from this planet.

My freedom will be taken away soon.

But what about Yukina?

I can't take her with me.

I'm sorry.

I entrust you with my life.

Why did they seize only my recording equipment?

Good thing they even let us in.

They really want to arrest you.

The problem is, they have nothing to justify your arrest.

Problem?

Anyway, your father works here too, right, Kayahara-kun?

That's right.

Hi!

Oh. Jun!

Are you well?

I'm well, I'm well.

I'm so glad to hear it.

Is mom doing well too?

She's enjoying life almost too much. She's hardly ever at home.

Right now, she's traveling with her fourth husband.

If she's happy, then it's good that I let her leave me for another man.

Here I live on in solitude, devoting myself to research…

Dad, I'm borrowing this.

Huh? What?

Hausen-sensei is your father, Kayahara-kun?

He is. But my family name changed after his divorce.

I don't have sufficient clearance to access the details,

but we should be able to deduce something just by checking what is hidden.

I didn't think we were open to the press today.

Right.

Why can't we interview the pilots?

Why are the heroes who saved the Earth held in confinement?

What's going on?

Looks like some information has leaked.

That's because we didn't do enough to secure it!

No matter what happens, don't shoot. They're humans.

This research facility is not completely safe yet.

Please wait for the official announcement.

Don't give us that!

Everything here should be made public!

Explain things properly.

How can UN personnel disregard fundamental human rights?

It's about time, isn't it?

Also, you're pretty good at this.

I tried to imagine what the adults think the story is.

Maybe I can make such a story.

In form of a film?

I don't know. But he also said "all we have is here and now".

Huh?

I want the world to know how Ouma fought.

Streaming alone may not get the message across.

Where is the Glongur?

My steed didn't come when I called.

It's in the deepest part of the facility, but I know how to reach it.

Still, it won't be easy.

Yukina

Yukina?

Are you well?

Yes.

This is the first time we're talking over the phone, isn't it?

Now that you mention it…

Not long ago, you would say "there's a person in the box".

In three days' time, someone who's more than a match for you will come, so be ready.

What is this statement?

You know so little about words.

What will you do now?

It has nothing to do with you.

Don't say such saddening things.

I'm leaving with Zeru-dono and Muetta-dono.

As I thought.

It's way too risky, so wait up.

No, I will not wait.

Then don't turn off your phone, got it?

Will she be alright?

Let's go.

You can remove these by yourself?

I only kept it for mutual trust.

The cameras in this area have been destroyed.

Shirahane, forget about me. Find happiness.

Thank you.

Don't put yourself at risk, Akagi-kun.

Alright.

What brings you here today, ojou-sama?

The fight for our future.

If that's what you wish to do, ojou-sama, then I will fight too.

This way.

Are you alright with this, Mozumi-san?

No problem.

I am ready to fight for our future.

As a JSDF soldier, I must be ready to give up my life for the cause.

There's no need for you to die, though.

Only the JSDF soldier Mozumi Toshiyuki dies here.

But as a butler, I will follow you to the depths of hell, ojou-sama.

Go right ahead.

Now, to set the security to the lowest level.

No-one will be able to see us except with their own eyes.

Is it really that easy?

I made some preparations while hiding from the Efidolg.

You really are skilled.

Am I?

The problem is the soldiers who arrived from other countries.

Use this key to start it up.

This is?

It's from one of the soldiers who fell in the last battle.

It's as if their ghost were still fighting.

Happens often in warfare.

Ghost?

From now on, one wrong move can get you shot.

Please go back.
