Vol. F Ch. 2 Ep. 19

Lastly is the sixth sanctum...and we're still unsure of this guardian's identity.

But based on the detected energy...I believe this guardian will be more dangerous than the sum of all others combined.

We don't know what could happen if we attack the sanctum hastily...so we should enhance the defenses and patrol around D.U.

Then we'll be able to find a way to stop the threat of the sixth sanctum.

A way to stop the threat? Is that possible, President?

Of course, Eimi. I've been collecting data all this time. Who do you think I am?

Um... The sewer...

How many times have I told you? That's Rio's name, not mine! I am purified spring water! You've been doing this so often lately, I'm beginning to suspect it is on purpose.

...

All right! Mission confirmed! We'll handle this one!

Yes. The Gourmet Research Society will assist with the defense of the D.U. Shiratori district.

It's mostly because our way to the aquarium is blocked right now. ★

Yup! So let's take care of this quickly!

Why don't you two from the Make-Up Work Club support us?

H-Huh?! Us too?!

Affirmative. Looking forward to it, Gourmet Research Society.

What a pleasure! It's been a while since we've been together like this.

Okie dokie! Let's kick some butt!

The Never-Ending Conveyor Belt leads straight to justice!

The Infinite Sushi Squad, the Kaitengers, have arrived!

Hahaha! Now that the world is in crisis, we can't just sit back and watch it fall!

Right! It's the perfect time for the righteous Kaitengers to show up!

By the way, it really seems like a crisis this time. Are we gonna be okay?

Red! We're getting paid extra for today's tasks! Just to remind you!

Hahaha! Then we'll just have to do it!

Let's go! Infinite Sushi Squad: Kaitengers!

H-Huh? Am I the only one who saw that...?!

No, you're right! I saw that too! Walking sushi!

Sushi?! Where?

I can't even remember the last time I had sushi! The last time I ordered delivery, I was told they couldn't deliver because interest rates were too high that quarter!

That doesn't make any sense! What do interest rates have to do with sushi?!

Heehee. How excellent. Things are really heating up here. Let's keep this energy going.

Eat or die!

Hahaha! Another successful mission!

Then we'll see you again someday!

The Never-Ending Conveyor Belt leads straight to justice!

Infinite Sushi Squad: Kaitengers! Exit!

...

Who... Who were they?

*tchhhk* I've accomplished my mission here, President Himari.

Toki...?

You're already finished...? I can send you the next target's coordinates now, then. Will that be okay?

Yes, ma'am.

...Toki, are you looking after yourself as well? You've been working nonstop.

I appreciate your consideration, Eimi, but there's still energy from the weapon left. I can continue fighting.

Toki. Even if part of the Nameless Gods' technology was reflected in the abilities of Abi-Eshuh... We were only able to utilize it because of the existence of the Fortress City of Eridu.

It's unconventional, or, I should say...in bad taste to use an entire city as a computing device for a reinforced exoskeleton... But that's why it was able to achieve the performance it did.

Rio's confidence in facing the princess of the Nameless Gods with Abi-Eshuh may not have been a pipe dream...

But now that Eridu has been dismantled and only a shell of it remains, it can no longer perform at the same level as it did previously.

Please tread carefully and treat it as an ordinary exoskeleton. Okay?

...Yes.

...Well, I suppose not entirely ordinary. I, the super-genius hacker, modified a few things... It's the incredible masterpiece of a genius, although it's not quite at same cheat level it was before.

Understood. Thank you, President Himari.

I'm sorry to ask again, but are you sure you're okay, Toki? I can provide support as well.

It's okay, Eimi. I'm used to fighting alone.

When I arrive at the target coordinates, I'll contact you.

She's...very somber. And serious.

Toki was originally from C&C. Maybe she hopes to fight alongside her fellow agents.

Then why doesn't she do that?

That is the conundrum. Perhaps... She didn't feel she deserved to stand by their side in battle.

Hm... I disagree. Toki was only following orders.

At the end of the day, Big Sister is the one to be blamed.

But still, it was she who carried out the actions. She isn't entirely innocent.

Hm. That's difficult.

Truly. Rio and Toki are similar in their clumsiness when it comes to other people.
