"What?" "R-Retraining?" "Tokyo Central Railway Security 4th Guard Team" "Yep." "We'll be sending you guys to the training center in Karuizawa." "I wonder if the food there is any good." "I don't know..." "The training you'll take part in this time is what we call "Advanced Railway Security Force Training." "right?" "Y-You know... too." "What?" "Really?" "!" "What does "Karuizawa" bring to mind?" "You don't mean... the Usui Pass?" "!" "The EF63 electric locomotive!" "I'll go!" "I hope the food is good..." "The kamameshi in the station bento at Yokokawa Station is very good." "I'll eat it!" "Koumi-san?" "as long as I'll be with Takayama-kun—" "With everyone... that's enough." "under Takayama will participate in Advanced Railway Security Force Training starting tomorrow!" "then." "900)}Episode 7 "I Thought It Suited You" "Awesome!" "It's the Usui Pass!" "This is the steepest slope in the JNR network!" "This is one good station bento!" "Sakurai!" "Look how much the drink's surface is tilting!" "That's how steep it is!" "that was good!" "And we're riding up it right now!" "right?" "I can feel myself being pulled downward!" "Let's eat that!" "gravity!" "Here you go." "Thanks!" "it's Megane Bridge!" "Shut up!" "I'm glad it's close to the station." "I'm starving!" "you... have just arrived." "rookies." "and I'll be in charge of your training." "I've heard about you from Gono." "She said you have more energy than you know what to do with." "This is rough..." "Training at JNR Central Academy was easier than this... you're pathetic." "Takayama—" "Takayama-kun?" "Have some tea." "You just need food!" "Fill your belly and you'll feel better in no time!" "Can we order?" "right away." "Takayama-kun!" "Are you here for training?" "Yeah." "You too?" "Yeah." "I never thought I'd see you guys here." "What a coincidence." "It sure is." "Takayama?" "Sakurai?" "what are you doing?" "!" "Sorry." "My hand slipped." "You did that on purpose!" "do you have curry?" "today's lunch is curry with cutlets." "All right!" "I'll take three extra-large servings!" "And I'll have the same." "Takayama-kun?" "I'll have what everyone else is having." "add two more of the curry with cutlets." "Right away." "This looks great!" "Sorry to keep you waiting." "Enjoy your meal." "I will!" "Takayama?" "Huh?" "Oh... so..." "She knows everything about you..." "Jeez..." "She's going too easy on you!" "Hey!" "That's mine!" "0000" "All instant kills." "I can shoot down twice as many criminals as I could with a revolver!" "You're just fit to kill..." "Huh?" "All very nice warning shots." "Sakurai." "Help this kid out." "All right." "Sakurai." "I wouldn't want you slowing me down." "We're going to be working in railway security together from now on." "Taking the advanced training course means our future in railway security is basically guaranteed." "Huh?" "!" "Bu—" "We might even be assigned to the same place." "Here." "So I'll put up with you for now." "There's only one bath so they said we should decide ourselves who'll use it when." "So shall we say the guys have it until 8:00 PM and the girls can use it after that?" "Dinner should come before baths!" "I can't take it anymore!" "I'm going on ahead." "he still has room?" "Iwaizumi-kun moves around a lot so he must use a lot of energy." "but he makes no wasted movements." "Takayama." "You have to conserve strength when you fight or you'll lag behind when it counts." "But I don't—" "I'll help you out during free training!" "anyway." "not a security officer." "I mean... uh..." "Oops..." "You're not going to join the security force with us?" "Isn't that why you came here for training?" "That was because I heard I'd get to drive an EF63." "What are you saying?" "Sorry..." "Then why didn't you say something earlier?" "!" "Because..." "You seemed so happy then..." "Wh-Why are you bringing me into it?" "!" "This is your future we're talking about!" "Hey..." "Wait a second!" "wait!" "Aoi... anyway?" "Is it that bad to want to be an engineer?" "I will become one." "Like him... awesome!" "My stomach... kid!" "It's dangerous ther— kid?" "You okay?" "!" "Takayama-kun?" "!" "Takayama-kun!" "Aoi!" "Come here!" "Aoi!" "Aoi!" "Aoi?" "What's going on?" "Why is Takayama here?" "!" "It looks like the heat got to him." "come on..." "What is he doing?" "I'll go get help." "Sakurai... he thinks I'm you... hear me out." "I want to become an engineer so that I can be like a certain someone." "I collapsed from stomach pain and he saved me." "kid?" "it won't be long." "Hang in there!" "If that engineer hadn't noticed me 500)}Yunokami Station" "I don't know what would've happened to me." "I want to be the kind of engineer who values people's lives above all else" "like him..." "Don't worry." "I'm sure Aoi understands." "Aoi?" "Sorry about last night." "That had to be an embarrassing thing to see." "I didn't see anything!" "I wasn't looking at anything... did I?" "located between Yokokawa and Karuizawa Stations is the most perilous point in the JNR network." "it used something called the Abt system toothed rail lay between the two running rails." "A gear on the engine fit into that rail to carry it up the slope." "though." "the slope reaches a pitch of 66.7 per mille." "What's that mean?" "It means the elevation increases by about 66 meters in one kilometer of travel." "That's it?" "Iwaizumi." "It's no small matter." "That's an incredibly steep pitch for a railroad." "you will drive a helper engine here." "Really?" "!" "Let's finish this quick and go get something to eat!" "Don't take the fun out of this..." "It's an ED42!" "I was expecting an EF63..." "This old thing not enough for you?" "Not at all!" "I'm honored!" "The "Hakusan" express train is headed by three ED42 engines 430)}Safety First and a helper engine linked at the end." "Keep your wits about you." "sir!" "decide who'll take the engine at the end." "Then..." "I'll do it." "Hey!" "The one at the end is the hardest!" "Wait!" "We need to work out our timing and whistle signals beforehand!" "No need for that." "Just try not to slow me down." "What's with her?" "The driver's seat really is the best!" "If I can show that I'm suited to driving here..." "Okay..." "The downhill slope starts here." "Why are they all out of sync?" "Is Sakurai okay back there?" "That means to turn the master controller down to 0..." "Huh?" "We're gaining speed..." "We need to use the dynamic brake!" "What's that?" "!" "Hello?" "I don't know which one the brake is!" "Look at the manual!" "What?" "!" "T-Takayama-kun?" "Koumi-san..." "What is it?" "I think Aoi is trying to push us from the back." "Sakurai is?" "I'll send her a signal." "what is Sakurai doing?" "Is she playing around?" "Just put the brake on!" "What?" "You're the one dragging your feet!" "She's..." "It's no good!" "We're just gaining more speed!" "But if I put on the brake any further we'll squeeze the cars between the engines and derail." "Yes?" "we're gaining a large amount of speed!" "I know." "I'll do something." "our speed's increasing." "okay?" "!" "there'll be a major accident." "What do I do?" "It's do or die now!" "Stop!" "Derailment" "isn't it?" "This virtual simulator is JNR's pride and joy." "That was pathetic." "Go cool off and think about what just happened." "as JNR employees you guys forgot the most important thing of all and that caused this accident." "Maybe this means" "I'm just not suited to railway security." "Much less the deputy director..." "Takayama-kun..." "I'll be off work soon." "Yoink!" "All right!" "Old Maid again..." "Takayama-kun." "What did you want to talk about?" "Well..." "I thought it suited you." "I mean." "But I don't think the Takayama-kun in front of me now looks quite as cool." "I think you can believe in yourself more." "And the K4 members are all good people." "Sassho..." "Sorry I worried you like that." "Sassho." "You understand people really well." "Takayama-kun!" "Koumi-san..." "Narita-san was just here." "He said we're taking the day off tomorrow." "He said we can't produce good results as we are now." "True... then?" "We'll check out the town for a little break." "after all." "That sounds nice!" "too... the one to invite Sakurai-san should be..." "I think." "To:" "Sakurai Sub:" "None We're going to visit Karuizawa tomorrow." "Want to come with us?" "Takayama Naoto" "I can't do it!" "I'm pathetic..." "What's this?" "Sorry" "She..." "To:" "Sakurai Sub:" "None We're going to visit Karuizawa tomorrow." "Want to come with us?" "Sending Message..." "Would you like to cancel?" "Message Sent" "What do you think?" "so I didn't bring any outfits..." "I bought this in a hurry." "Does it look weird?" "it looks great on you." "Iwaizumi?" "I don't see any tasty-looking food!" "Is that seriously all you think about?" "there's a nice place near here." "All right!" "That's it!" "You're not saying anything to me." "I already know you look cute in anything you wear." "What does that mean?" "That's not much of a compliment!" "where's Sakurai-san?" "I did invite her..." "I hope you guys can make up soon." "It's K4?" "Hello?" "Enjoying your break?" "Iida-san?" "but I wanted to ask a favor." "Takayama-kun." "Someone who really wants to see you specifically." "So I need to go to a place called the Memorial Chapel?" "got it." "Did something happen?" "she just asked me to run a little errand." "I'll go with you." "That's okay." "It's really not much." "so go on ahead." "But..." "Sakurai should show up soon." "I'll send her your way." "Bye!" "Takayama-kun..." "I'll be right back!" "See you later!" "Okay!" "Sakurai?" "From:" "Sakurai Sub:" "None I just got to Karuizawa Station." "she came!" "I didn't ask them where they were going... well." "This is it?" "Huh?" "No one's here..." "What's going on?" "Takayama." "I'm here." "S-Sakurai..." "You're not with Haruka and the others?" "uh... too..." "What's the problem?" "I don't dislike dressing like this." "of all places?" "What did you want to..." "I..." "Koumi-san?" "!" "Why are you here?" "What's going on?" "I came to see if I could help you with anything..." "And I find you meeting with Aoi in an empty church?" "K-Koumi-san?" "And you even lied!" "I didn't know you were like that!" "No..." "You've got it wrong!" "he lied?" "Yes..." "It looks like an explanation is needed." "N-Noa?" "!" "I said I wanted to meet Takayama-kun alone." "Why are you here with Sakurai-san and Koumi-san?" "Helper engines are linked to trains when extra pulling and braking force is needed to carry them up steep slopes." "once used to traverse the Usui Pass are considered a representative of these." "Many debates about engineers such as the need for manual cooperative driving between the main engines were put to the test..." "There's no time!" "We have to hurry!"
