Concrete Revolutio (コンクリート・レボルティオ～超人幻想～)

Huh? Kikko, you read boys' comics?

No, I was just bored.

Here. Espresso con panna.

Oh, yes.

Here is your espresso con panna.

Please enjoy.

Um, excuse me.

Yes?

You are Kikko Hoshino, right?

Well, yes.

My name is Jiro Hitoyoshi. I need your help.

Senpai. Jiro Senpai!

Fuurouta, don't be so angry.

Watch your mouth, Hitoyoshi.

Miss Kikko!

Mr. Jiro! I am 20 years old now.

- No, Miss Kikko. - Let go!

What, superhumans?

Fight elsewhere!

It causes problems.

I will definitely catch him.

(April, the 46th of Shinka Era. Shinjuku)

I heard it A voice cursing fate

I found it A way to use my power

What you want are not words, are they?

That love inside I want to send it on

Justice is not on my side

The only thing absolute for me is myself

Come on Wakers. Ready, go!

Protecting the illusions that somebody dreamed of

will liberate the stagnant sky

We hurl our unanswerable cries at each other

And they become the reason we live

What can I do in this hopeless world we live in?

Only those that keep searching

can become the future

Start the revolution!

One of the 12 constellations of the Zodiac.

Along with the Summer Triangle, it's a famous summer constellation.

Scorpio. It's coming into view.

Around it, a celestial body "Elixir" that emits strong x-rays

has recently been discovered.

While scholars around the world pursue its accurate position,

it is said Japan's Prof. Onda finally succeeded in fixing the coordinates.

A certain group has been approaching this Prof. Onda these few days.

Hello, Prof. Onda.

Keep it down.

Here, the item we promised you.

You know industrial spies, right?

Rivaling companies try to steal each others' technology, right?

A transaction is about to be made here.

Japan's leading scientist is about to sell off certain information.

What happens if it's sold?

Japan, no, the world's scientific advances will be delayed 10 years.

Industrial spies are trying to steal our future.

You'll really do it, Hoshinoko?

Why help a stranger...?

But it's for this planet...

So this man is Japan's leading scientist.

And he's an industrial spy.

He's a bad guy.

Please, enjoy.

Well then.

Here is the item I promised you.

Great, thank you.

So this is the newest collimator?

I can finally locate Scorpio Elixir.

Huh? It's the opposite of what I heard.

I thought the professor was selling info.

What is going on?

Wasn't Prof. Onda selling the x-ray source coordinates?

What should I do?

You're a savior of Japan's astronomical studies.

I want to test it right now. Goodbye.

What?

Um...!

I will take the check, young lady.

- Kikko? - What is it?

What are you doing, Kikko?

Forgive me, sir.

Grab it, Kikko!

Darn!

Sleep!

A spy from another planet, huh?

No.

Kikko, are you...?

No I am not!

We have to, Hoshinoko. Set the witch power's channel.

Huh? Are you sure?

Better than standing out and getting caught by journalists.

Who knows what layer you'll be sent to next?

Meteorterre!

It's a witch girl. Right?

Hey. Where is it?

Oh... Here.

Is that...?

An "S" Planetarian.

Um.

I'd like to let people in now.

I am sorry. Just a bit longer.

The Super Population Research Laboratory?

What is that?

Of the Health and Welfare Ministry.

You can check with the government if you like.

Oh, here it comes. Just as planned.

It's Grosse Augen! It's on the humans' side.

It came to fight the evil alien?

- It disappeared. - What?

I'll go this way.

It disappeared. Like always.

But I am counting on you today.

I know.

I need your help a bit more.

Mr. Hitoyoshi, you knew the spy was an alien.

I did.

And you're the witch girl of rumors.

No, wait. I don't know what you're talking about.

Tell me, Kikko.

You called me that again.

What?

People don't call me by my name, so it's embarrassing.

And I didn't know what to do, so I used magic.

Sorry, I won't do it again.

- No, you can... - Look.

It's that alien and Grosse Augen.

You know Grosse Augen?

I saw it in a magazine. The heroic superhuman was real, huh?

Grosse Augen, our ally, huh?

Tell me its accurate position.

What? You can't see it?

I am a regular human.

When Grosse Augen becomes giant, it shifts the temporal phase nearby.

Temporal phase? What?

The Fred & Hoyle effect.

Like movie films.

Each frame is the time we can recognize.
