×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
There you are…
エ02
×Tetsuya Ida
Ei Sekigahara:
Keeping an eye on me with your drone?
Tetsuya Ida:
Finding you was simply a coincidence.
Just like you, I'm now considered deceased.
Ever since the battle in Sector 2…
I've been in hiding.
エ03
×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
I wasn’t too worried about you.
Knowing you, I figured you’d keep yourself out of trouble.
Ei Sekigahara:
…
エ04
△DD-426→Tetsuya Ida
Ei Sekigahara:
So tell me…
Back on the battlefield in 2064, who used DD-426?
Tetsuya Ida:
…Someone did his research.
Your Sentinel was the source of the infection.
So the evidence suggests that you're the one who used it.
Ei Sekigahara:
Guess that’s how it looks…
Tetsuya Ida:
I'm not sure who the real culprit is.
However, Chihiro Morimura enacted Operation Aegis after we lost.
エ05
×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
Isn't that why you're here?
To see how things went in Sector 3?
Ei Sekigahara:
…
エ06
△Operation Aegis→Tetsuya Ida
Ei Sekigahara:
What is Operation Aegis?
Just look at this place… What the hell happened?
Tetsuya Ida:
Sector 3 was used as a trial run of sorts.
It was the only terminal tested on.
But it was enough to activate the self-defense system.
Sector 4 will be the real deal.
Ei Sekigahara:
The 1980s…
Tetsuya Ida:
Once all the terminals are sealed by the self-defense system…
…then Operation Aegis will be fulfilled.
If that succeeds, we’ll no longer be able to loop.
And we can't let that happen.
エ07
×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
Unfortunately, your city is doomed to forever be in ruins.
If we’re unable to loop anymore, that is.
エ08
△Loop→Tetsuya Ida
Ei Sekigahara:
By loop, you mean going back in time, right?
How is that different from shifting?
Tetsuya Ida:
Well…
This world was created only 15 years ago.
You come from a different world where the year is 2064.
Your world never existed prior to 2049.
Ei Sekigahara:
…Never existed?
But we’re in 2025 right now, aren't we?
Tetsuya Ida:
This is neither the past nor the future.
That’s how the five sectors were designed.
They were created when you arrived from another world.
エ09
×Tetsuya Ida
Ei Sekigahara:
This all sounds like nonsense.
Tetsuya Ida:
…
エ10
△Another World→Tetsuya Ida
Ei Sekigahara:
I've had enough of this crap.
If there's really some other world, then prove it.
Tetsuya Ida:
…I take it you're aware of Miura’s logs.
Ei Sekigahara:
Logs?
Tetsuya Ida:
Logs of the year 2188.
I made an interesting discovery after studying the data myself.
I learned that the real world is in 2188.
We were meant to return there eventually.
However…
This world is destroyed before that time can come.
A tragic incident, indeed.
Especially if it was the result of someone’s careless actions.
エ11
×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
Our enemies―the ones we call kaiju―have one goal:
To gain control over every mainframe in all sectors.
Once that’s accomplished, the five sectors will reset.
This causes the world to be recreated.
And that incudes you.
Morimura and I didn’t exactly go back in time.
We merely skipped the recreation.
Ei Sekigahara:
…
エ12
×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
You're looking rather pale.
Ei Sekigahara:
…
エ13
×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
Perhaps you should take your pills.
Ei Sekigahara:
…
エ14
△Oral NM
Tetsuya Ida:
…Didn’t you deliver those pills to Morimura?
For Izumi and Shinonome-kun?
Ei Sekigahara:
…
エ15
×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
You and the others have no hope of fully recovering.
However, there is a way for you to survive.
Ei Sekigahara:
How!?
Tetsuya Ida:
I’ll extract your data from before you lost your memories.
Then I’ll take it with me to the recreated world.
That should stop the effects of DD-426.
Ei Sekigahara:
…Can you really do that?
…
So then, what do you need me for?
Tetsuya Ida:
To make sure we can loop, of course.
I intend to stop Operation Aegis so we can start over again.
And if I'm going to do that, I’ll need your help.
エ16
×Tetsuya Ida
Ei Sekigahara:
…
Tetsuya Ida:
Still don’t believe me?
Ei Sekigahara:
Not really…
Tetsuya Ida:
Well, you will once you see the logs for yourself.
I need you to find Sentinel No. 17.
Ei Sekigahara:
!
Tetsuya Ida:
I know he made a copy of it.
The data will be useful in the next world.
So I’d like to get my hands on it.
エ17
×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
See that drone over there?
Ei Sekigahara:
Drone?
エ18
×Examine
Ei Sekigahara:
This thing?
Tetsuya Ida:
Yes, but don’t activate it just yet.
That’s not ordinary drone.
It’s him.
Ei Sekigahara:
Miura?
Tetsuya Ida:
It was before the Sentinels were randomly transmitted.
He transferred himself into that drone and escaped.
I managed to secure him in Sector 2.
He doesn’t entirely agree with my methods, though.
As such, he's chosen not to cooperate.
It would be best if you told him you saved him from me.
Ei Sekigahara:
Come again?
Tetsuya Ida:
You're going to convince him that you've saved him.
Then, you'll retrieve the data from him.
Ei Sekigahara:
You're asking me to lie to him?
エ19
×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
He received command over Sentinel No. 17 instead of me.
I'm not exactly sure why.
But he's the only one who can track and activate it.
Ei Sekigahara:
…
Tetsuya Ida:
For your sake, cooperate.
I’ll ensure that Miura comes with us.
Above all, this is for you and Shinonome-kun.
エ20
Tetsuya Ida:
Well, then…
エ21
×Tetsuya Ida
Tetsuya Ida:
You can't use the gate at school due to structural damage.
I've set new coordinates further ahead.
Feel free to use that one.
Ei Sekigahara:
Hang on, I never―
Tetsuya Ida:
To avoid suspicion, I’ll have my men continue following you.
They won't be aware of our plans, however.
So try not to get caught.
I'm heading back to Sector 4.
エ22
×Activate Miura
Ei Sekigahara:
…
BJ:
!
Sekigahara…
Ei Sekigahara:
Hey, Miura…
I'm glad you're okay…
