6 6 301 Guard Leader But is it really a good idea to take advantage of their tests to get Babylonia's new device to help clear out the Corrupted nearby? 2

8 8 201 1 1101001
9 9 301 1 Watanabe Who gives a damn? They wanted authentic, accurate data—nothing beats data from a real fight. 1
10 10 202 1 1
11 11 401 2 1508
12 12 301 A fallen Corrupted suddenly rises and sprints toward Watanabe at inhuman speed.
13 13 401 2 1506
14 14 301 But its head is immediately crushed a few steps out—the CUB goes in and stomps for two more strikes, completely shattering the Corrupted into pieces before swiftly returning to Watanabe's side.
15 15 201 1 1101001 1
16 16 301 1 Watanabe Hmm, good job... 1
17 17 301 He pats the head of the CUB, revealing an unusual smile.

19 19 201 2 500005 -400
20 20 301 1 Patrol Leader Hey, is it just me, or is Mr. Watanabe being much gentler to the metal critter than he is to us? 1
21 21 301 Guard Leader Damn... Stop it. You're gonna make me cry. 2
22 22 301 All of a sudden, the CUB raises its head and takes a quick scan of the surrounding before running off in a direction.
23 23 301 Patrol Leader Is that a joke? Don't tell me it's broken already, running off like that... 1
24 24 202 1 2 1
25 25 301 But Watanabe does not seem to be in a joking mood.
31 31 301 1 Watanabe Get in your vehicles! It detected hidden Corrupted outside of our patrol area, and it's heading there at full speed! The destination is— 1
32 32 202 1 1
33 33 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Hearing the location Watanabe says, all the Forsaken soldiers jump to their feet and hop on their vehicles, speeding behind the CUB without delay.
51 51 301 Ann In that case... let's continue our previous operation. But now that we have 【kuroname】 with us... 1
52 52 301 Xiuyong We're asking 【kuroname】 to join us now? But we're almost done... 2
53 53 301 Deckard But we'll kill two birds with one stone while also getting to keep an eye on the supplier! 3
54 54 301 Xiuyong Isn't keeping an eye on the supplier the other bird? 2
55 55 301 Ann ...Maybe? Not that we can do it any other way! 1
56 56 301 The three youthful faces turn serious again. They put their heads together, discussing secretly.
57 57 301 By the time they talk to you again, they seem to have come to a consensus among themselves, and they look at you with anticipation and barely hidden excitement.
58 58 301 Xiuyong Here—take this. 2
59 59 301 The boy reaches his hand out proudly, and in his palm is a poorly made lantern.
60 60 301 Its rough edges are even more noticeable being in a child's hand.
61 61 301 Xiuyong We've been preparing this. 2
62 62 301 Ann Exactly... For Uncle Watanabe and his troop! 1
63 63 302 It's cute. 64 But why? 65
64 64 66 301 Ann Hmph! It's my idea, after all! 1
65 65 301 Deckard For decoration, obviously! 3
66 66 301 Xiuyong Think about it—Uncle Watanabe just left with his men, right? 2
67 67 301 Xiuyong We hang this at the entrance of the campsite, and when the squad returns, they'll open the gate and find— 2
68 68 301 Ann Hey, don't say it out loud! You know we aren't allowed near the entrance outside the camp! 1
69 69 301 Deckard What are you so afraid of? We know they're not here. 3
70 70 301 Ann ...And you just have to spoil it! What good does it do if our mission objective knows we can't go near it?! 1
71 71 301 Ann You two bozos! 1
72 72 301 Xiuyong It's fine! We're just decorating! Nothing will go wrong with an extra pair of hands! 2
73 73 301 Xiuyong We can even manage our time better while keeping 【kuroname】 in our line of sight! 2
74 74 302 Are you making me an accomplice? 75
75 75 301 Xiuyong Accomplice? No! 2
76 76 301 Xiuyong You're the reason Uncle Watanabe and his squad are out at this time of the year— 2
77 77 301 Deckard And we got an extra mission because of you! 3
78 78 301 Xiuyong You aren't an accomplice—you're guilty! Helping us is the least you can do! 2
79 79 301 The two boys mean business, and they leave you no room for refusal.
80 80 301 And the girl behind them has already laid out all the things she packed earlier, tallying everything carefully.
81 81 301 Ann ...It's too late to split up now. We have to take the supplier with us. 1
82 82 301 Xiuyong Just... to do what, exactly? Decorations... lanterns? 2
83 83 301 Ann Our next step is to clear out the trash near the entrance, then put our preparations to good use. 1
84 84 301 As she finishes, she divides the decorations in front of her into three parts and hands one to each of you.
85 85 301 Ann ...So, "supplier," do you also make New Year decorations, like, at the place you're from?
86 86 302 Of course. 87 I'm not sure... 88
87 87 89 301 Ann I knew it! 1
88 88 301 Ann That's surprising... 1
89 89 301 Ann It'll be too sad to not even have something like this... 1
90 90 301 She lowers her head and thinks for a while.
91 91 301 Ann Um... We've made so many already, so what's one more? It'll be our payment to you once we're done decorating! 1
92 92 302 1 AniZhuanchangBegin I look forward to it.
