It's my fault,
my choice,
and…
All the situations that have arisen as a result.
Ultimately,
they led to this.
That's when I realized you were right.
I remember you once told me
what it means to be a person with responsibility.
I couldn't understand it then,
but now I do.
It's not about the experience,
but choices.
Choices that only you can make.
The responsibility and obligation of being an adult.
I trust you as an adult.
You can certainly bring us a different result
than the twisted end ahead.
The options to that future
must be found.
So, teacher.
Please…
(Episode 1: Abydos High School, Abydos Foreclosure Task Force)
SNOOZE
TODAY'S NEWS
Although Student Council President's missing has put General Student Council into chaos,
fortunately, the Sanctum Tower has regained its light
and administration is also gradually being restored.
Thus, the chaos in the academy city Kivotos
will gradually subside.
And…
Meow.
ABYDOS HIGH SCHOOL
The next stop is Abydos High School.
I'm getting off at the next stop.
ABYDOS FORECLOSURE TASK FORCE Shiroko, really?
You biked to the Abydos industrial district and then back again.
That must be hundreds of kilometers.
Anyway, I've never been there before.
It's a nice distance to ride.
Shiroko is something.
Serika, what did you do at the weekend?
Well…
I was reading at the library.
Serika, were you at the library too?
I was at the library yesterday too.
Really?
I didn't see you.
By the way, Ayane, what book were you reading?
I wanted to find more information about the DOHC problem I encountered
when repairing the school houses.
Right, the so-called DOHC
refers to an engine named Double Over Head Cam.
It might be useful later.
What about you, Hoshino?
As usual, did what an old uncle would do.
I think so.
Looks like everyone had a great weekend.
What about you, Nonomi?
Me?
I went shopping.
I bought some new snacks,
daily necessities,
and forty dumbbells.
Ah.
FORECLOSURE TASK FORCE REGULAR MEETING So, let's start the regular meeting now.
The first is about the recent events.
In Kivotos, a academy city of various schools,
it is the General Student Council, headed by Student Council President,
that maintains the balance among the schools in the city.
However,
Student Council President seems to be missing not long ago.
Many autonomous school districts seem to be into chaos as a result.
Speaking of the General Student Council,
well, what's that again?
The peace treaty between Trinity General School
and Gehenna Academy.
The Eden Treaty?
Yes, that's it.
Hasn't that treaty been completed yet?
Because the initiator of the treaty, the Student Council President, is missing,
so no one knows what to do.
I see.
Right, Ayane.
SHIBA SEKI RAMEN I heard from the owner of Shiba Seki Ramen
that the Kata-Kata Helmet Gang is causing trouble again.
The ramen there is delicious, right?
Shiroko, do you eat there often?
Once in a while.
What's wrong?
N-Nothing.
Well,
security in Abydos is getting worse.
What a headache.
Although we've repeatedly made our predicament to the General Student Council…
Student Council President is not present,
they might be too busy to deal with it.
But so are we.
Thank you very much for using Kaiser Loans.
If this continues,
it will take 309 years and 2 months to pay off the debt.
Then I'll come again next month.
It will still
take 309 years and 2 months to pay off the debt.
There's still a long way to go.
Then, see you tomorrow.
Goodbye.
Serika, what would you like? I'll pass, I'm so tired today.
It really took a while.
Hey.
I guess I heard you right.
Bad girls,
are you saying my hairstyle is outdated?
Is my hairstyle out of fashion?
Boss, you are so cool.
Boss, you are so charming.
Ha!
-Exactly. -Indeed.
We just said what we meant. Are we wrong?
H-How dare you!
Take them down!
Alright!
Haha!
Can you still talk like that now?
Your useless bullets
could never hurt us.
You are still alive.
Are you basking in the sun?
Or do you get heatstroke?
Water.
Here you are.
Energy drink.
Want it?
Oh my. I'm good now.
Thank you.
Shiroko, do you kidnap this man?
I never expected Shiroko to finally commit a crime.
Calm down.
We need to figure it out before it gets out.
No, he said he wants to come to our school.
What?
So is he a guest?
Correct, a guest.
I see.
I know Abydos is a desert district,
but I still got a heatstroke due to the heat while walking here
and passed out.
Well, if possible,
could you introduce yourself?
You're right.
I am a teacher of General Investigation Division, Schale.
Nice to meet you.
What?
So you are from the General Student Council?
Hmm.
Our request for backup has finally been processed.
Great, Ayane.
Yes, we finally get what we request.
Now we can get our supplies.
By the way, everyone,
may I disturb you?
CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER This is?
I would like to give this to you.
Thank you.
Now we can get ammunition and supplies.
We must tell Hoshino about this.
I guess she is sleeping in the usual place.
I'll go call her.
-By the way, teacher. -Hmm?
We haven't introduced ourselves yet.
She is Serika Kuromi, a first-year student.
I am Izayoi Nonomi, a second-year student.
TASK FORCE Hello.
I am Okusora Ayane, a first-year student.
I am Sunaookami Shiroko, a second-year student.
Well, we met earliest, so you should already know me.
By the way, I'm not trying to highlight myself by saying this.
There's one more person.
The President of Foreclosure Task Force,
Takanashi Hoshino.
There are five of us
in the Abydos Foreclosure Task Force.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Oh my, Serika.
Be gentle.
What are you talking about?
As the president, you need to behave one.
Oh my. I am Takanashi Hoshino.
Nice to meet you.
I am a teacher of Schale.
Nice to meet you.
By the way, teacher.
I will now show you around.
The desertification around Abydos is quite serious indeed.
Hmm.
CLUB RECRUITMENT This school was already like this
when I first entered.
I don't think I saw any other students.
Are there only five of you here?
OFFICE Yes.
Actually, this school
is burdened with a huge debt.
We're the only ones to stay.
As the Foreclosure Task Force, we take on all kinds of commissions
and pay the debt with the money we earn.
It sounds tough.
We went to clean the gym together a while ago.
Right, Ayane was ill and took leave at that time.
There's more trash than we thought.
Although it's difficult,
we still managed to solve it.
But then we were scolded by Ayane.
Why?
What is this place?
It's just an empty room.
From now on, this is your room, teacher.
Really?
Hmm.
There's too much sand in the office.
Do you find it too narrow here?
It's big enough. Thank you.
Hmm.
MAP
Shiroko, why do you want to protect this school?
Gunshots?
To everyone at Abydos High School,
we are going to take over your school today.
They are the Kata-Kata Helmet Gang.
PLEASE USE CAREFULLY! What a bad timing.
Oh my.
I can't even have a peaceful nap.
Watch how I drive them away as always.
Everyone, let's go outside.
Teacher, you just stay here.
Shiroko.
Danger!
Thank you, Arona.
You're welcome, teacher.
Here you go, Shiroko.
Thanks.
They are really annoying.
But we're running low on ammo.
What a trouble.
We will soon get supplies.
No problem.
Wait, Shiroko.
Give up.
I already know you're running low on ammo.
Why do they know that?
Don't worry, Ayane.
They are no match for us.
-Let's go cover Shiroko. -Yes.
Come on.
We won't hand over Abydos High School to you.
Shiroko?
Shiroko, Nonomi.
Hoshino.
Everyone, let's take a break.
Their coordination is a mess.
Looks like they're really running out of ammo.
It's finally time to fight to the death.
Good, let's take them down in one go.
Teacher, if this continues, the students of Abydos High School will…
Go!
Are you all right?
We're fine, we can still hold on.
Everyone, separate and fight.
Hey, do you want to continue?
You don't stand a chance.
Then come on.
Oh no. If this continues, we will be taken down by them.
Damn. I can't believe we got cornered by those guys.
Everyone!
Who is that guy?
Why do you want to protect this school?
Teacher.
Why?
Because
this
is where we stay.
Is that what everyone thinks?
Of course.
What's wrong with you? Who are you?
I am the teacher.
Teacher?
I'm here to help them.
Sorry, may I ask you to leave?
No way.
I'll shoot you.
Let's go, everyone.
Nonomi, fire them.
I get this.
Serika, aim.
Damn, I can't see them.
Stay calm.
I know it well.
Nonomi, Serika, well done.
What is going on?
Don't even think about it.
As a senior, I won't lose to the juniors.
Coordinates confirmed.
Shiroko, catch it.
Ayane, nice.
Don't underestimate me.
Hey, cheer up.
This is really embarrassing.
Hey.
D-Don't come any closer.
The final blow, Shiroko!
Don't come any closer!
W-Wait, I-I surrender.
It's all over.
It hurts.
-It hurts! Wait, no. -So,
leave now.
Got it. I'm leaving.
I'll revenge.
We won, Shiroko.
Well done.
I can't believe we could turn the tide in that situation.
Thanks to the teacher.
Not at all, I didn't do much.
I just did my duty as a teacher,
and didn't abandon my students in trouble.
We can defeat them with our own power.
Serika, you're still so stubborn.
Annoying!
You're so cute, Serika.
Stop trying to act tough.
Enough.
That's the teacher.
I'm here, Arona.
I've been waiting for you, teacher.
