"This work of fiction surrounding the circquake in Tokyo is based on tremendous amounts of research and verification." "Striving for a sense of realism, many simulations were thought of to create this original story, however, circumstances may be different to the real thing." "S u m m e r E v e n i n g 04, we have contact." "02, 252 confirmed." "It's dangerous, so please stand back!" "We're currently deploying robots and other equipment to search for those who require help." "We have already confirmed that there is one survivor." "How long until help arrives?" "There's reinforced concrete that's over 20 cm thick and many have collapsed, but I believe they'll be here soon." "We're also requesting for another team at the moment." "All right!" "Let's do our best to go home together!" "Yeah!" "Are you okay now, Mari?" "Yeah, I'm all better now, thanks to you two." "See?" "Told you!" "We're going to pass through Roppongi and head into Shibuya now, okay?" "Okay." "I always took this way home, but it's like a different city now." "Yeah..." "Huh?" "What's that?" "Let's start after we pull that rebar on top off!" "A robot?" "All right!" "Don't slack on the safety checks!" "Go in from number 2!" "Survivor 252 found!" "They're conscious!" "Are you okay?" "Hang in there!" "Are you okay?" "Could you tell us your name?" "You're drawing a robot!" "You're really good at drawing them!" "You like robots?" "Yeah!" "I draw robots too!" "You like drawing too?" "No, the robots actually." "I take some notes on them and look into them later." "Hey, do you know about that one?" "This is the first time they've been deployed." "I saw that at the robot convention!" "You saw it there too?" "Do you know what that one is then?" "Nope." "Yuuki." "Look!" "Over there." "That's the control unit." "It copies your arm motions." "Both hands can hold one ton!" "You sure know a lot." "Yup." "I want to make robots like that one day too." "What's with that one?" "It's all over already, but it's trying to act cool." "You just don't understand." "It's double checking for survivors nearby." "It fell!" "It was made to be lightweight, so it has poor balance when it moves!" "That one's called the semi-automated robot." "It operates by itself after it's given orders." "Well, I have to go now." "Thanks!" "My name's Kento." "Nonomiya Kento." "I'm Onozawa Yuuki!" "Third year elementary school student." "I'm in first year middle school." "First year middle school?" "You're in the same grade as my sister!" "I hope we can meet again." "Yeah!" "See you!" "That's what you call a nerd." "A robot nerd." "This is the largest citywide earthquake observed in Japan's recorded history." "According to an announcement by the government's crisis management center, casualties have exceeded the Great Kanto Earthquake's 140,000 with 180,000 estimated deaths." "The fires at the outskirts and the epicenter have nearly reached their conclusion, but according to the Tokyo Fire and Disaster Management Agency, the safety of around 150,000 people is still unknown." "The number of those who are wounded is now over 200,000..." "No news on Sangenjaya?" "Mari..." "I'm okay." "Thank you." "What?" "What's wrong?" "Rats!" "Rats?" "The store..." "Cities have lots of rats." "Yuuki?" "What's wrong?" "I'm okay." "I just had a bit of a headache." "Your head's really hot!" "Maybe it's a heatstroke." "Find some shade and wait for me there." "I'll go ask if they have any medicine." "Okay." "Geez, tell us when you're feeling sick." "It's more troublesome when you actually collapse." "Sorry." "It's Kento!" "Hey!" "Stay here!" "I gave most of it away to the municipality, so this is all I have." "No, that'll be great." "Yuuki!" "Wait, Mirai!" "Where are you going?" "Sorry!" "I'll be right back!" "Kento!" "Yuuki?" "Yuuki!" "We promised we'd go together, didn't we?" "The robot nerd." "Mirai!" "We saw that frog robot in the Future Hall, right?" "Frog robot, huh?" "I guess it does look like one." "It's waterproofed for up to 20 atmospheric pressure, so it can operate underwater too." "20 atmospheric pressure?" "Right, it can stand up to the water pressure at a depth of 200m." "I question the need for it though." "He really is a nerd." "Nerd?" "Well, you know too much about robots." "Yep, because I like them." "My family might have died if it weren't for robots." "It happened when I was still in elementary school." "I see the survivor." "Okay." "Don't use a shovel and be careful." "Number 1!" "Number 2!" "Use the electric saw and spreader to make a hole!" "Roger!" "I'm sure they wouldn't have been able to save my entire family without robots." "That's why I want to become someone who can make those rescue robots in the future." "Sorry for calling you a nerd." "It's all right!" "I do like robots." "I thought my parents and sister were really annoying before they were saved by robots." "But that time, I really hoped that they wouldn't die." "Do you two live nearby?" "No, we live near Kinuta Park." "I see." "I hope you can go home soon." "Thanks." "Oh yeah." "You can have this." "Really?" "Yep." "I remembered it all already." "Thanks!" "What are we going to tell Mari?" "Really!" "You had me worried, you know!" "I'm sorry." "How are you feeling?" "He's fine." "He was just running around." "Yeah, I'm fine." "Yuuki, are you okay?" "Do you want to rest for a bit?" "A frog baseball team..." "What are you talking about?" "You're right!" "It's raining." "Yeah." "Thank you very much." "It's all right." "Bye." "He said he'd be back in 20-30 minutes." "Let's rest for a bit." "Found another one?" "Yeah." "This place is full of frogs." "Yeah." "The owner probably likes frogs." "Mirai." "Finished already?" "I don't want anymore." "Are you really okay?" "I'm fine." "You might have caught a cold because we were camping." "Mirai!" "Yuuki!" "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "I just ate too much." "Rest for a bit, okay?" "Yeah." "It'll be all right." "It'll be all right." "An earthquake?" "It's okay." "It was a small one." "Even Mari didn't notice it." "I just dreamed about the robot convention." "You really like robots, huh?" "Kento likes them even more though." "That's because he's a robot nerd." "He's Professor Robot!" "Kento's my age, yet he already knows what he wants to do." "He's admirable." "You know, I've always been complaining about mom and dad, but I'm sure they've done a lot of things for us." "I was wondering if I was being a bad kid." "Well..." "I really hoped that they weren't dead." "Let's be nicer to them when we get home." "Yeah." "I like it better when we all get along." "Yeah." "We'll redo mom's birthday party and surprise her." "We'll buy a round cake too." "Yeah." "You know, Mirai..." "I wanted to go to Odaiba because I wanted us to see the bridge." "You told me that in Shiba Park." "I did?" "Yep." "Well, we were fighting then." "Let's go to Odaiba with everyone next time." "Yeah." "The bridge is gone though." "I know they'll make a new one." "Yeah." "Yuuki?" "It's my frog robot unit-1!" "Hey, where are you going?" "I'm just going to take a look at it!" "I touched it." "You there!" "Don't interfere, okay?" "Yuuki!" "Let's go back to Mari." "Okay." "What?" "Nothing." "Did you really see Kento?" "Yeah." "See?" "No one's here." "This place is off limits." "Let's go back." "Okay." "Mirai!" "Look over there!" "What's he doing?" "Kento!" "What are you doing?" "It's dangerous!" "The robot got caught by rubble!" "Don't come here!" "What?" "You're the one who shouldn't be there!" "What's he doing?" "Yuuki, go call Mari!" "Okay!" "Kento!" "Don't come here!" "Go call an adult!" "I already did, you idiot!" "Kento!" "Give me your hand!" "Take this!" "Just drop that!" "Thanks!" "You're pretty strong!" "I'll pull you up next." "Come on!" "That was close." ""That was close"?" "Whose fault do you think...?" "You're hurt?" "You there!" "It's dangerous, so don't move!" "We'll be right there!" "All units take your probing equipment and check everywhere that has a response..." "We're using robots to prevent secondary casualties, so it's all pointless if you two get hurt too!" "You're old enough to make decisions, so don't do anything dangerous anymore." "Yes." "Anything wrong with the machines?" "None!" "All right!" "Let's move on!" "Mirai." "I'm sorry I made you go through all that danger." "And thank you for saving me." "It's okay." "That's because Mirai's brave!" "Don't give me that!" "What were you going to do if something did happen?" "I'm sorry." "Kento, tell me more about robots some time, okay?" "Sure." "We'll meet again when everything's better." "That's a promise." "Okay, let's go." "Okay." "What?" "I was just thinking that you're amazing." "The next time there's a robot convention, let's all go together!" "Dad, mom and you." "Oh, and Kento too!" "Okay." "Mirai!" "Yuuki!" "Let's go." "Yeah!" "Yuuki!" "Yuuki!" "Yuuki!" "What's wrong?" "Answer me!" "Yuuki!" "Yuuki!" "Yuuki!" "Casualties have exceeded that of the Great Kanto Earthquake and are still increasing."
