△League of Darkness

So that guy Izumi…

He’s a Juro Kurabe from another world…?

If that’s really true…

That League of Darkness lady’s gotta be a Fuyusaka from another world.

When I was a kid, she did somethin’ to my key…

I remember now. She said something about the Sentinels…

Probably talkin’ about that robot I saw in the future ruins…

△Key

So the one who has the key…

They're the one callin’ these monsters out. Even if they don’t want to.

Never thought Minami would have it…

ア01 自動発生

I guess when you put it like that…

Maybe you've got a point.

I should slow down and think a little…

…What’s wrong?

The hell do I do now?

I finally found this damn key…

What’s gonna happen to Minami if I snitch on her?

ア02

Guess Okino’s not here…

Okay, the first train’s gonna be Fuyusaka and…

Kurabe.

ア03

△Natsuno Minami

Minami’s got the key…

But if I let Okino know, I’d be throwin’ her under the bus.

…

That Izumi guy…

He said he’d handle it.

Can I even trust him?

ア04

×Juro Kurabe

Hey.

Huh!? Oh, Ogata-kun…

Huh. That’s weird.

Seems like plain old Kurabe again…

ア05

×Juro Kurabe

Actually, this is pretty good timing.

Someone was just looking for you.

They asked me to give you this.

Here you go.

Who’s this from?

Izumi, I think he said…?

ア06

Well, that’s my train. I’d better go.

ア07

△Izumi’s Message

“Tsutsuji-Bound Semi-Express departing at 5:12, first car…”

Who is this guy…? What’s his angle?

Lessee, the 5:12…

That’s the third train. The one Kisaragi gets on.

And the first car…

That one stops over at the end of the platform.

ア08

Okay, Ryoko Shinonome gets on the 2nd train…

ア09

Hey, Shinonome-Senpai.

Are you okay…?

I have to go…

ア10

You're from 1-C…

ア11

×Megumi Yakushiji

Hey.

…

You even listenin’?

…

Geez…

If I get on the train now, is it even gonna change anything…?[

イ01

I'm back here!

Oh… something popped up.

Now you're messin’ with me too?

You're from Minami’s class…

You another of Okino’s goons?

Okino? I don’t know who that is.

Then why are you here?

I was told to come here so I could save Nenji Ogata.

You're here to save me…?

But Nenji Ogata’s right here.

So… why are you appearing on this screen?

That’s like… a version of me inside my own head.

So…

I just need to pull this thing off your head?

Hey, hey, don’t do that!

They said if it gets forced off, I might never wake up again.

Geez…

Call the police, I guess?

My contact wants to keep this discreet.

Okay, then call your contact! Get them to do something!

Well, he's a cat, so… His options are limited.

He’s a what?

He’s a talking cat who’s here to save the world.

What the shit are you talking about?

Look, you see any kinda… I dunno, a power button?

None here.

A button that says “reinitialize.”

Okay, don’t touch that. Probably dumps me back at the station.

Something here about a restriction?

Maybe that’s it.

You think you can turn that restriction off?

I can try.

How’s it lookin’?

Hold on, still checking…

…

Hey, you talked about saving the world…

You mean from the kaiju, right?

Right.

So… all that stuff I saw on the train… It really could happen.

Is you could fight back…

Would you?

Hell yeah I would.

Then…

I’ll cast a spell on you.

What the…?

Some kinda robot?

Ah…

I think I just lifted the restriction.

Really?

Okay… now we’re gettin’ somewhere…

Now try pressin’ that reinitialize thing.
