itsumo hitori de aruiteta

furikaeru to minna wa tooku

mou nani mo kowakunai

itsuka hito wa hitori ni natte

kono gu sae aishi waratterareru you ni

atashi wa tatakaunda

namida nante misenainda

いつも一人で歩いてた

振り返ると 皆は遠く

もう何も怖くない

そう呟いてみせる

いつか人は一人になって

思い出の中に生きてくだけ

この愚さえ 愛し笑ってられるように

あたしは戦うんだ

涙なんて見せないんだ

I've always walked alone

When I turn around, everyone's far behind

"I'm not afraid of anything anymore",

I try to whisper to myself

Everyone becomes alone someday

They live on only in memories

So I can laugh, loving this foolishness

I will fight

I will show no tears

The wall that I backed up to

My fingertip smells of iron

I keep holding on, in this city, anywhere.

Fly away from here!

Fly away from here!

From now on I'll find you!

From now on I'll find you!

Play those notes!

Play those notes!

Look over here!

Look over here!

Even if I can't find you in this town

Where... is this?

I don't remember anything...

You're awake?

You...

Welcome...

to the "Like-hell-I'm-dead Battlefront".

This may sound sudden, but will you enlist with us?

Enlist?

The fact that you're here means you died.

Huh?

Um... I don't really get what you—

This is the afterlife.

If you don't do anything you'll be erased.

Erased?

By who?

By God, of course.

So what's this about enlisting?

Into the Like-hell-I'm-dead Battlefront.

Well, the title changes a lot.

First it was the "Afterlife Battlefront".

But if we called it that, it would sound like we're admitting we're dead, right?

And so we got rid of that.

We've been changing it since.

Now it's the "Like-hell-I'm-dead Battlefront".

Before that, it was the "Don't-even-feel-alive Battlefront".

Though that name was a total joke, so we changed it the next day.

Um...

Is that a real gun?

Everyone who comes here reacts like that.

Try to be more flexible.

Just accept things as they are.

Accept them?

What should I do?

Fight.

With what?

That.

That's the Like-hell-I'm-dead Battlefront's enemy,

Angel.

I think I want to change the Like-hell-I'm-dead Battlefront name, after all.

Give it some thought.

Hey, hey...

No matter how you look at it, that's a normal girl...

What's she talking about?

Um...

Can I go over there?

What?!

Why?!

You make no sense!

Why would you do that?!

Are you an idiot?

Want to try dying!?

That's a joke you'll hear a lot in this world where you can't die.

Well? Was it funny?

M-My impressions of your joke aside...

At the very least, I'd probably have a more sensible conversation with her than someone who points guns at girls.

I'm your ally.

If you tell me not to aim the gun at her, I won't.

You can trust me.

Hey, Yurippe!

How's the newbie recruitment going?

We're short on hands, so do whatever it—

Huh?

I'm going over there.

Recruitment failed!

I don't know what's going on.

What's with them?

Um...

Good evening.

Um...

Someone's aiming a gun at you.

They said you were an angel or something...

I'm not an angel.

I thought so.

Then—

I'm the student council president.

I'm an idiot.

That girl was making fun of me.

Dammit!

I don't even know who I am...

I guess I'll go to a hospital.

There are no hospitals here.

Huh?

Why not?

People don't get sick here.

Don't get sick?

Because everyone's dead.

Huh?

I get it now!

You're in on this too!

You're trying to trick me!

So this amnesia is your doing too?

Memory loss is quite common when people come here.

If you die in an accident, your head gets damaged, after all.

Then prove it!

If I'm already dead, I can't die agai...

Hand Sonic.

This is...

I'm alive...

Even after that excruciating pain...

Damn!

Dammit!

I don't really get it, but I can't stay here!

What's with this guy?

It was you, huh?

The one who disgraced Yurippe and refused to enlist!

H-Hey, wait...

Calm down!

Wanna die?

Oh, I get it! That's...

That's one of those...

A joke for a world you can't die in, right?

Good sense!

A hundred times!

Die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die!!

If you ever disgrace Yurippe again, we'll have another dance.

Are you trying to kill me?!

Wait, I guess I was too late for that comeback...

What kind of joke is this world?

Not dying even after going through the pain of it...

This is the worst!

This is the afterlife.

If you don't do anything you'll be erased.

That's right!

I'll just get erased!

If that happens I can say goodbye to this world!

But what should I do?

I'm your ally.

You can trust me.

Is there anyone I can trust here?

Oh yeah!

I'll find an adult!

Though, where are the adults?

Where are the teachers?

I guess I can ask the principal.

Fine, then how about this?

The "You're-gonna-die! Battlefront"!

That makes it sound like I'm going to get killed.

No, I'm talking about that girl.

Okay, then look this way.

Where am I?

You're-gonna-die! Battlefront.

Oh crap!

It really does feel like I'm going to get killed...

Any others?

No good ideas?

How about this?

"Flashback Battlefront"!
