"Do you want to know about the incident in Vladivostok? and then the rumored extrajudicial Japanese intelligence agency." "you probably know more about that than I do." "you must also know the reason why BK-201's star disappeared." "Perhaps." "It seems a cruel anti-contractor weapon was used." "Anti-contractor?" "it's a weapon designed to kill contractors." "I'm sure that you saw the prototype for it two years ago." "Why...?" "Have you heard of the Mitaka documents?" "The path to what you're looking for is written on a mysterious document held by a certain agency." "The keyword is "Izanami." "Wait!" "How do you know what I'm after?" "What are these Mitaka documents?" "Wish upon the stars." "tiny red star..." "A wish to see BK-201." "Red star... 2 cm." "it's like a bull's-eye." "Three shots left." "Does that mean you can only use that weapon three more times?" "there is one round in the chamber and five appear in my pocket." "so I need to maintain it." "little missy." "completely!" "There's some money for food." "Gonna not eat and save up again?" "I'm not going to eat strange things anymore." "I'm going to become stronger." "Yes." "I'm going to become stronger before I run away." "I have to overcome what I hate." "huh?" "What do contractors eat?" "Raw meat?" "Your son told you?" "About what?" "About me being a contractor." "I know without anyone telling me." "Michiru was a contractor too." "Michiru?" "He's a man..." "I used to have the right to board Noah's Ark. so I thought it'd be okay to learn a bit about the world." "She was a plain woman who was really good at making confections." "I guess Norio was three when it happened. she just up and left." "I wonder where she is and what she's doing now." "Here you go." "Is it good?" "Yeah." "okay?" "Liver builds up your blood reservoir." "since you... right!" "I should give you that!" "My star is crying!" "maximum limit!" "that is!" "W-Wait!" "Come on!" "Wait up a moment!" "did you know?" "My mommy's a contractor!" "Isn't that amazing?" "Our encounter must've been fated!" "Your love for me?" "Just what exactly do you know about me?" "That's why you're going to tell me!" "Like I said... the you in me shines more brilliantly than the fake starry sky!" "Come board Noah's Ark again!" "A mission for her?" "Compensation isn't the problem; she's going to get in my way." "She is better than me with a rifle though." "But that's all." "I can do it alon" "How did this happen?" "Lebanon lent me a portable stove and an earthenware pot." "Earthenware pot?" "She's really done it now." "She opened the pot and a cockroach came out of it." "Then "boom!" "Why?" "Because I hate bugs now." "right?" "I know." "Just do it already." "But hit me on my left side." "What?" "My right side still hurts from the last time you hit me." "I don't think I'll be able to move well." "Hurry up." "You're confusing me." "you'll freeze." "huh?" "it must have been caused by her friend." "but that scene was pretty shocking." "and she seemed to be worried about her friend." "there probably isn't anyone she likes." "I hate you." "So I'm the same as a cockroach." "I guess the cold is most bearable here." "What's with her?" "yet there's no consistency to her behavior." "either." "There were too many things that she didn't know of to begin with." "She must've been incomplete as a human." "And then she turned into a contractor." "A contractor learning to be human." "Exactly." "She's probably still looking for the necessities to become logical." "So she's still a kid." "Good night." "The Mitaka documents..." "Izanami..." "Why do I believe her?" "I have no other leads though." "Ichinose!" "Chief Kobayashi is calling for you." "You have new orders." "There's an important object that we'd like you to transport from an institute in Sapporo." "Its codename is "Izanami." "I came here to chase after BK-201." "Are you saying that there's more meaning behind this order?" "a reason why we can't be careless." "We received a call from an agent in Sapporo." "BK-201 was found with children." "BK-201 is in Sapporo?" "at least." "Someone's here." "Pursuers?" "How many?" "Three." "One is a contractor." "I'll draw their attention." "You three find the right moment to escape through the entrance." "We'll meet up at the usual spot." "What happened?" "So BK-201 was staying here?" "along with a girl." "A girl?" "Not a boy?" "Unless they're cross-dressing." "Shion Pavlichenko had a twin sister." "though." "She might have already been silenced by the FSB." "then..." "Jealous?" "It's time." "The people at the research lab are waiting for you." "What a good smell!" "it should be around here." "That's..." "Hey!" "Who is that?" "Wait!" "Shall I take care of him?" "That car there!" "Wait!" "No." "I don't believe there will be a problem if we leave him alone." "Mom!" "They're too careless." "We'll be practicing shooting." "The first thing you say and it's that?" "Try shooting that." "This time without lying." "so that's why I can't shoot." "right?" "so..." "There is one:" "To stamp out your irregularities as a contractor." "Why are you crying?" "I don't know." "I just don't know." "I saw her!" "I really saw her!" "It was really Mo- didn't you?" "Who cares about that!" "we're having an important parent-son meeting now." "Let me use your oven. but there's no doubt that they hid him in the city to target the goods." "we would transport by air;" "BK-201 infiltrates by blending into a crowd. so we'll be transporting by sea this time." "what a pain." "We should just duke it out." "And this is coming from someone who got pushed around by that little kid?" "That really hits home." "We will perform a check on Izanami now." "Security is quite rigorous here." "This way." "Wish upon the stars." "Found it." "The time is ripe for our wish and hers to come true." "This is..." "Izanami?" "What are you doing?" "Aren't those weeds?" "These are edible." "My dad told me so." "Here." "so..." "She's probably trying to apologize." "How is it?" "as long as it's nutritious." "So it tastes so bad that you can't eat it unless you think that the taste doesn't matter." "Seconds." "You have a mission." "I see." "It's not bad for a first mission." "If..." "If I get paid..." "Compensation?" "It's a bit much for spending money." "This is the advance payment." "you accept missions and receive money as compensation. so I know I'll be able to do it." "This is the worst night." "There will be a Section 3 ship entering the harbor." "then there won't be any problems." "And if I'm unable to..." "Aim for an opening in the truck transporting it and shoot the goods." "...in... right..." "Izanami is... in truck... but I didn't take a picture." "That's because I thought that I didn't need to." "But I wonder why?" "I think that it would've been nice to take one." "It's huge!" "do you think that it's a whale?" "No!" "Whales are even bigger!" "And they spurt out salt water!" "Salt water?" "Is it salty?" "Suou!" "N-No!" "I know that much!" "Come on." "Don't fight!" "Look at everyone." "Everyone's smiling... they are!" "That's right!" "No one gets angry when they're in an aquarium. it opens up their hearts." "let's eat some soft serve ice cream!" "I want one!" "The one with three scoops!" "I want one that's as big as a whale!" "A whale?" "The well-whipped meringue shines pearl-gray." "In the heat of the oven lies a gold-colored life." "warm fragrance contains no childhood memories." "The time to leave has come." "It would've been better if we had never met." "I didn't need any memories." "And..." "The journey continues."
