...
I entrusted Eridu's relocation permissions to Toki so she could contain C&C.
Now that C&C, the most powerful opposition, is neutralized, all that's left is Sensei...
Even Sensei will have to accept the situation by the end...
...and acknowledge what is right and what is wrong.
And what a just, rational decision looks like.
It's checkmate.
Hmm, I see... Rio.
Your plan is well thought-out, and you've taken drastic measures to achieve your goal.
Maybe it's rational in some ways.
Himari...
But I still don't agree with your self-righteousness.
...I see.
Rio, let me give you one piece of advice.
You're exceptional... there's no question about it.
It's quite impressive how you embezzled Millennium's funds to create this city.
And your shamelessness is equally impressive.
...What's that supposed to mean?
If there is something you believe to be right, you never hesitate to push towards it without looking back.
That's your strongest advantage...
And your biggest weakness.
Weakness? I don't have such a...
Rio, have you ever discussed your troubles with your underclassmen? With anyone?
...
Your weakness is nothing special.
Because you're so outstanding, you never want to compromise or wait for others.
That's your biggest weakness.
An explosion?! No way...
This is only the beginning.
Himari, wait...!
...An attack from the outside at a time like this?
That can't be.
We've identified all forces that could pose a threat to us.
Who could it be...?
This way, President Himari.
Haha, Eimi... I didn't expect you to come to save me...
You'll be betraying Rio if you do this. Are you sure?
Hm. Maybe.
You said, "If I don't come back within twenty-four hours after I go to see Rio, you can eat the pudding in the fridge."
But after consideration, I decided pudding is better shared.
So, that's the situation.
You're so unpredictable. Hahaha...
Well, it was entertaining to see Rio's reaction earlier. I'm satisfied.
...Who's distasteful now?
Pfft, who would call a delicate genius hacker's graceful actions distasteful?
But President... The situation is still not good.
At this rate, everyone will be defeated. I don't know if we'll be able to help...
Oh, don't worry about that.
Why not? Do you have a solution for this situation?
...?
Whoa! What should we do?! Communications are down!
What should we do...? We have to think... We have to...
At this rate, both C&C and Sensei are gonna be defeated.
...Tsk, we underestimated their countermeasures.
No matter the situation, we should always be prepared for every countermeasure or hack.
Is this...the end for us?
I can't accept that! Aris is still in there!
There has to be a way...
...
Wait, Maki, Kotama.
What is it, Hare?
The string of characters...on the monitor...
...
...
This...
...<Optimus Mirror System>
<Mirror> activated.
...Huh?
Its firepower is absolutely ruthless!
...We might actually get wiped out at this rate.
Yes. This may be it.
"You all are a little too calm right now!"
Waaah! W-We're being targeted!
"Everyone! Watch out...!"
The Avant Guard's movements...
It just...stopped?
"...Chihiro!"
