>I have a new job for you--leading a fleet.
>As you know, our long war with the Abyssals was put to an end a few years ago, with our final victory and their total extermination.  However, the organic weapons we had been preparing for that final battle are still alive in the world.
>Your job will be to carefully take care of them.
>There is nobody as suited ot this job as you.
>So it's like that, huh...
>I'd have never thought I'd end up like this, an old skeleton playing a babysitter.
>Whatever, I don't have much to do anyway.
>I'll set my mind on the task ahead and I'll do it as well as anyone.

>Are you the new admiral?  I am Shiranui, operating in the capacity of secretary.  I'll be in your care.
>...
>Shiranui-kun, although this might be a little sudden
>Yes, ask anything of me
>Please resign from the position of secretary.
>....?
>Did Shiranui make a mistake?
>How is a girl supposed to operate as a secretary?  (TL note: isn't that normally waht they do?)  Please summon someone else as a replacement.

>Well... >Even if you tell me that...
>Kanmusu only come in the flavors of female and female.
>How can this be...pardon, this is a little jarring given the disparity between the reality and my expectations.
>Is that jarring feeling a result of the disparity between XX models and XY models?
>[Ahahahahha]
>[yada yada]
>[No way--]
>[Uwaaaahoooo]
>[Waahaa--]
>[Good morning--]
>[Haha] (Etc.)

>Morning.
>Yo, you're the new Admiral?
>Yes...and you are?
>I'm Kitakami, nice to meet you~
>Please be mindful of your tone/honorifics, Kitakami-kun.
>Huh?
>I am saying I am not the type who enjoys hitting girls.
>[Pomf--]

>Oh--
>What...
>Ahahahahahhaha!
>See?  Wasn't I right?
>It's true, huh~

>These things called humans
>are so tiny and weak.
>This is a no bully zone, Kitakami-san, you shouldn't do that.
>Eh--?  I'm the one in the wrong here?
>Sheee-it, it was that guy's fault.
>You're not wrong--I wonder how long it'll take for that Admiral to adjust.
>Hmm--

>I feel like it'd be better if no more male admirals were sent to us...
>Eh, why?
>Men have a strong sense of pride.
>If this keeps happening, it's only a matter of time before he resigns.
>Ahh, so Abukuma-chan feels like a female admiral would be better then?
>I'm not a great fan of female admirals either...
>Why?
>At least a good-looking guy could serve as eye candy. Show (TL note: I don't play texas holdem.  They end up comparing hands at any rate)
>Full House.
>You kidding?!
>Kanmusu are fundamentally different from humans.
>Firstly, their power output is far removed from that of a normal human.  Secondly, they need neither food nor sleep.  However, they require fuel, bauxite and the like to remain operational.
>Thirdly, they posess thick armor that can shrug off artillery shells without lasting damage.  Fourth, they can walk on water.  Fifth...

>That's enough.
>Please don't be so downcast. This is merely the first day.
>Hehe...
>Ah--Hahaha!
>It's fine, you don't need to season your words with sympathy for me. I won't lie and say that I'm not discouraged.
>It's just...
>...just?
>It's been a while since I heard a laugh so full of life.

>My pride's a little dented, but I feel a little more alive now.
>The place I lived before was like a hell on earth...everyone was driven mad just trying to stay alive.
>People became paranoid, and all relationships of trust broke vanished. And with them went those lively laughs...
>........
>.....Speaking of which,
>I'm hungry.
>Behind this room is a kitchen with food stores.
>However, I'm afraid preparation is up to you.
>A home-cooked meal by a young lady would do me a deal of good.
>Sorry, I'm no good at cooking.
>Want to make a bet?
>Will taht admiral still be here in a month?

>A thousand yen on him leaving.
>Yukikaze bets the same
>Then who the fuck am I supposed to gamble with?
>Why don't you bet he'll stay?
>I don't enjoy making bets I know I'll lose, you know...
>Hmhm...I really am not fit to be some kind of by-the-book drill sergeant...
>I guess I'll just go with my instincts.

>[*Drawn by TTK]
>Wahah
>Ahahahah!
>I'll take your bet, for a thousand yen.

>Ossss--u, we're we're off on patrol then.
>The enemy's gone, what the hell are you patrolling for?
>They say they're gone, but nobody knows whether they'll pop up again, you know--
>Hmm...You're right.
>This is just a daily activity.
>Every day, huh....they're pretty serious about it.
>Shiranui-kun, are you fine with not patrolling?
>I'm not a great fan of volleyball
>So they're just going off to play, huh...

>But that's all fine...
>This old man still needs some preparation time.
>?
>Ahh, you're the one who's called, uh...
>Hey.
>With all the rush earlier I didn't get much chance to say hi. I'm RJ, I'll be in your care.
>[We're hat buddies]
>[let's look out for each other]
>.....it seems more like I'll be in your care.

>You sure are brazen, though, admiral
>How so?
>Perhaps you haven't heard of the reason the last Admiral resigned?
>This base...
>Things far scarier and dangerous than demons or ghosts abound...
>Like, for example, kanmusu who might cause trouble for their admiral...
>Please be careful!
>How do you plan on equally splitting a thousand yen among three people?

>That fucker's smart.
>Smarter than me.
>knock knock
>Come in.
>I hope i"m not interrupting....
>You're, uh, Ooi-kun, right?
>Yes.  About yesterday's events, I'm sorry
>I'll make sure Kitakami apologi--
>now, now, this kind of business

>I won't keep it to heart, and you don't have to either.
>Shiranui has explained to me that Kitakami-kun and Maya-kun have those kinds of rebellious personalities.
>They really don't feel shame...
>Speaking of which, Ooi-kun, how is your cooking ability?
>I asked Shiranui-kun, but it seems cooking's not her strong point.
>It's not like that.
>?
>We are fundamentally different from people.
>Although we need fuel, we don't need food.
>So it doesn't matter whether it's me or Shiranui, it's less that we don't know how to make food than that we have never done it.

>It's like that, huh...
>I heard about this before.
>Speaking of which, what were you making before?
>Hm?
>Secret :3

>Here.
>Oh, what's this crap?
>They're called talismans/prayer beads.
>As you said, there's a possibility that the neemy will return.  I made these in order to ensure your safe return.
>mmmm....
>They're bracelets!
>There are beads on them~~
>Did the Admiral make them personally?
>Let's go with that.
>I've carved your names on them, please take them.
>Pretty...
>Maya, you don't want one?

>I don't need it--
>what's wrong with it?  How you going to say no to free shit?  Just take it.
>I.  Don't.  Want.  It--
>Oh, you don't want?
>In that case
>Oi, oi, wait wait--!  What are you doing?!
>Didn't you not want it?
>Well don't waste it!
>Here.
>Make sure you come back safely.

>Oh, and also, make sure you leave a written report of your patrol on my desk.
>Eh?  Yukikaze
>What are you wearing on your chest?

>This is what the admiral gave me after I handed in my patrol report!
>It's an achievement book!
>Today the admiral gave me a teddy bear stamp!
>It seems like this kind of thing exists in the human world, and children go and get theirs stamped every day!
>Sweet stuff is always best for when you're tired.
>knock knock
>Who is it at this time at night?

>Sorry, showing up at this time at night...
>Ahh, it's Abukuma-kun.
>What's up?
>Sorry, nothing really...
>Really...I guess I'm going to have to make a few more achievement cards.

>Shiranui, you alright?
>Nothing much, the lighting in the living quarters is kind of bad so it's a little hard to read.
>Is it alright if I read here?
>Yeah, I don't see why not.

>It's getting colder and colder now...
>Don't you guys feel cold?
>We can just turn up the boilers, so it's never cold.
>That's pretty convenient.
>Humans are just inconvenient, aren't they?
>Isn't this so cruel?  Going out to patrol on such a cold day?
>And yet our human overlord gets to stay in the cozy office to work.
>Volleyball sure is fun, isn't it Maya?
>........................

>Today's Patrol Report: Today I played Volleyball with everybody!  It was really fun!  -Yukikaze
>Are you saying we can't play volleyball now?
>Don't be silly, go for it.  >You'd just be bored at home.
>Yeaaaahhh
>You guys must live the sport, though...playing every day without getting bored?
>We're going to be bored no matter what, but we don't know anything else to play.
>Next time come over with the ball.
>[sound of ball bouncing?]

>[More sounds of ballin']
>This is called divegrass.
>To put it simply, it's volleyball except you don't use your hands.
>Shit son, that's baller!
>That's nothin, I can do that with my eyes closed.
>Congratulations
>You've set a new record for time in service as admiral.  You are now the longest lasting of the admirals thus far.
>Really now...So it's been a month since i arrived...

>Thanks to you, I am now three thousand yen richer.
>Why don't you buy some new decorations or something?
>Nobody would see it anyway.
>Well at least there are the readers...
>If those decorations aren't pictures of cute girls nobody will give a shit anyway...
>(asterisk says this is a voice form heaven) Cut, what the hell are you talking about?
>itakadimakasu--

>What's up with you?
>can I eat here with you all?
>Doesn't petrol smell bad?  If it ruins your appetite...
>Eating alone sucks.
>Whatever--There's no problems, right?

>I'm done for today.
>You don't want to eat?
>Mm...
>?
>Sometimes that idiot will throw a tantrum like that.  >It makes you feel bad in your heart too.
>Isn't she trying to make you feel that way in the first place?
>Hmmm...
>[gurgle]
>......
>[Sound of balling]

>I learned it!  Admiral!
>Ara?
>Sheeeit...
>How is it?  Did you see me?
>That's amazing.
>But I'll teach you how to play basketball next time.

>...............
>What is it this time?
>A hoop?
>The Admiral looks like he's putting up a basket hoop!
>[Bam]
>Can you learn it?
>Bullshit!

>[whoosh]
>OHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>Ah, I'm stuck.
>You're supposed to put one ball through the hoop, not three at once.

>mm
>Abukuma-kun
>What...?
>Isn't it that thing?  What do they call it...?
>Love or whatever?
>To an old skeleton?
>Love transcends age, you know.
>Abukuma seemed like the type with an Electra complex anyway
>Well I mean it's not like I don't understand, I also like the Admiral
>You like this old fart?
>You've given me a lot of stuff, after all...
>the bracelet, and that LV-brand handbag...
>I don't quite recall giving you the that last one...
>I'm looking forwards to it.
>I'm pretty sure you're using the wrong tense...(tl note: language joke, may have botched it)

>Where's Abukuma?
>[Gurgle]
>She looked kinda tipsy when she came back, and I haven't seen her since.
>Is that alright?
>Depends.  Two or three days without resupply should be fine, but a whole week without fuel?  Then we'd have a problem.
>Where would a young lady go alone at this time of night?
>Don't worry about it.  Once she's hungry she'll be back.
>It should be fine, since we're different from humans.
>Mmhm...

>You're not going back?
>Low consumption or not, you're still going to need to resupply.
>Today, the Admiral also....?
>Because he was worried about you.
>It's like that, huh....
>Recently...
>Whenever I see the Admiral, my heart starts to feel this crushing feeling...

>...and then...
>But this is a worrying situation.  I need to find a way to reject her without hurting her feelings...
>I'm done drawing!

>I just drew someone I've met.
>Wow...it's pretty nice.
>You're pretty good at drawing--
>It doesn't quite suit you.

>It's because you're like this that Abukuma throws tantrums, you know.
>Ugh...
>I'll need to find a way...

>The Next Day
>Abukuma Died.

>The dead Kanmusu are given an undersea burial.
>We're not like humans...our bones and flesh will not float again.

>Are the Kanmusu's inability to cry something that differentiates them from humans?
>The biggest problem is that this human isn't crying either.
>Whenever I touch your hands...
>I just don't feel that...feeling.
>It's because we don't have any blood vessels.
>Yeah...those hands are cold, far too cold...
>as if...
>You were already dead from the start.

>Abukuma...
>Did she really like me...?
>Who knows...

>She simply reached her limit, nothing more.
>I'm surprised, though...
>I thought you'd be devastated.
>Well, although the loss of a friend is painful
>Really, it does us no harm.
>That's harsh...
>Don't be rude.
>Even with we look the same, we are fundamentally different from humans.  It's only naturally we do not feel the same way you do.

>I thought that you would be more human than anyone else.
>How so?
>Our sudden deaths are hardly a recent phenomenon.  Deaths, seemingly without reason.... strange rumors about this kind of thing crop up too.
>Rumors?
>You know about the abyssals, correct?
>Oh...the ones that were rampaging in the sea of japan a few years ago, right?

>That's right...we, the Kanmusu, were manufactured to deal with them.  And, as planned, we exterminated them.
>But from then on, we as a species lost a reason to exist.
>And around then rumors arose that said that, after death...
>That the Kanmusu, in their desperation to justify their continuing existence, would die and be reborn as the Abyssals.
>Pretty funny, huh?
>Hilarious.
>Straight.
>Jokers aren't used in Texas Holdem.

>House Rules. We added it because Abukuma liked it.
>Of course, the "correct" way of playing doesn't involve a joker.
>But it's because the Joker is added that your options expand....
>Doesn't this change make you happier?  Of course, Abukuma herself...

>You have no opinions as well?
>What?
>About Abukuma.

>Nope. I never really got along with her at any rate.
>......
>Then aren't you scared? Not knowing the time and place where you might suddenly die?
>That kind of life...to be that short...no matter how you look at it, it's just too....
>Don't be so patronizing, human.
>I don't enjoy your sympathy.
>Although as Kanmusu are lives are short and imperfect,

>But we feel neither emptiness, nor sadness.
>Moreover, we can do things humans cannot.
>We have strength that far exceeds the limits set upon humanity, and fatigue is unknown to us.
>Even if our lifespan were transient as the mayfly, we would happily live that one week with no regrets.
>We're not like you humans, worrying and scheming and scrabbling for every extra minute of life.
>So....

>Please, stop looking at me with those eyes.
>What bullshit...(the Chinese translator mentions that this is in Kansai dialect)

>A month after that
>the heaviness that had come after Abukuma's death
>was gradually lifting, and the base began to recover its old liveliness.
>Nothing lasts forever.
>Good morning, Kitakami.

>Oh-- Admiral--
>Speaking of mornings, I think it was this morning...
>Ah, yes, it's like that--
>Yukikaze suddenly collapsed!
>Report immediately to me when this kind of thing happens, idiot!
>Yukikaze!

>My bad...
>?

>Yukikaze's fuel storage appeared to be insufficient, so I gave her a transfusion of my own stores.
>Ahh, I'm glad it wasn't anything major. But...
>Sorry, Admiral....
>There, there, as long as Yukikaze is unharmed.
>But Shiranui-kun, are you alright?
>My fuel consumption is lower than most kanmusu, so it's fine.
>?
>Each of you have different fuel efficiencies?
>Among other things..

>Has the basketball hoop somehow gone higher and higher?
>It looks like it was attached by brute force.  If somebody jumped hard and punched it in, it's more than possible...
>I'm once more aware of
>how fucking strong Kanmusu are.

>Young Girls of this age normally have a sense of shame.
>I guess that's another thing where they differ from humans.
>Then again, I'm glad nothing came of it.
>I was afraid I'd make them angry.
>Later strange rumors began to circulate....
>[klack]
>Kanmusu are given an undersea burial...
>[open]
>I drew somebody I've met...

>..........
>Ho....
>It can't be, right...?

>[sound of ruffling sheets]
>A dream...

>Good morning, Admiral.
>Did you have a bad dream?
>Yes...a nightmare.
>Breakfast is prepared.  Please get dressed and enjoy.
>Breakfast...prepared...?  What...?
>Am I still dreaming?
>Today is the Admiral's Birthday, after all.

>...
>It's my first time cooking, so I'm not sure if it fits your tastes
>Haha, it's HAMBAHGAH STEKI huh
>......
>Speaking of, how did yo know today was this old man's birhtday?
>I saw the admiral's idenitification card once, so I've known it since.

>Aww shit, this tastes baller.
>That's good.
>By the way, when is Shiranui-kun's birthday?
>Who knows.
>You don't nkow?
>I've been working here from when I first remember, so I don't know.
>Then I'll make one up for you then.
>Is that really a birthday then?
>Keep it a secret from the other kanmusu.
>...

>Then...
>[scrub scrub]
>[scrub scrub]
>What are those on your arms?
>These are band-aids.
>Apparently humans put it on when they're hurt.
>Your armor isn't so thin as to be cut by a vegetable knife.
>I stuck these on so that the Admiral would forgive me if the meal tasted bad.

>The Admiral is an idiot then.  After Kitakami smashed him into a wall, how did he forget about our armor?
>Humans are humans, they forget things.
>It's become even colder now.
>Is it now?
>Can you get the ball in?  That high?
>I can toss that high, but I can't get it through the hoop.
>The wind today is strong, too strong for that.

>This sport wasn't initially one that'd be affected by the wind.
>Once it came into your hands ballin' has become a completely different sport.
>Oh
>[splash--]
>[splash (different kind)]

>What the hell are you doing?!
>Wahahaha!  It's fucking feezing!
>Hmhm...this old man was so deluded...he thought he could walk on water!
>Huuahahahha!
>This old man really is just a useless human!  Ahaha!

>...Cold...
>What's going to happen if you die...!

>You.  Better.  Fucking.  Live.  Do you hear me?

>mmm...
>How unexpected...for you to visit....
>I just wanted to see how sick humans look.
>But really, humans really are something.  Jumping into the icy water in the middle of a winter day >and then spending the whole day after in bed.
>What surprised me was that this old man was right....

>Huhu...that's right.
>I forgot to tell you.
>Maya's dead.

>Even if our lifespan were transient as the mayfly, we would happily live that one week with no regrets.
>We're not like you humans, worrying and scheming and scrabbling for every extra minute of life.
>Was it that much of a struggle to stay alive...?
>Maya...

>But really, we don't fear death. And the death of one of us is not so great a shock.
>You are the same as Maya...as a fellow Kanmusu, why are you even less affected than I am?  >Well, it's like our combat utilities, long since removed....
>[Shaa--]
>Our unecessary feelings have been removed as well.
>[Shaa--]
>Maa, after all, this kind of creature called a kanmusu >Would die if she fell in love with humanity.
>[sound of glass breaking]
>Oy, oy....
>Don't worry about it...it's not like they're used anymore.  Useless things are better off disposed of.

>Isn't that what Humans do?
>.........
>Whether it's you or that lighthouse, you're not humans.
>But of the two, you still live on.

>We determine the value of a living thing not by whether they have a use >but by whether they are still needed by humanity.
>Hmhm...
>Living thing, huh...
>You know, we really don't qualify as living things either.
>What did you eat yesterday?
>Meat?  Vegetables?  No matter what you eat...
>You consumed something that once lived, right?

>It's like that.  It's only because you eat the living that you, too, are living.
>How many living things does a human need to kill to keep on living?
>Weren't you part of a war?

>How many did your side kill?
>That's enough.
>And how many were killed in return?
>Silence!
>Is your family gone?

>They're dead.
>My wife and my daughter both turned to ash long ago.
>If my daughter were still alive, she'd be about your age.
>Are you happy now?
>Want to have a spar?
>Like hell.

>Some time later
>the cherry blossoms bloomed, and then wilted.
>As the footsteps of summer closed in...

>It's very pretty...
>Kitakami, you....
>do you like the Admiral?
>There's a half that really likes him.
>And the other half is hate?
>Mm.
>I as well...

>...
>Wherever she is right now, is Abukuma Alright?
>Kitakami-san, should we?
>Yeah, let's.
>Kitakami-san
>shall we then?
>Sure.
(TL note: according to teh Chinese translator the "shall we" in the first term is construed as a question, and the "shall we" in the second form is construed as an answer.  The Chinese translator could not find an adequate equivalent in Chinese for this either.)/

>Kitakami and Ooi died.

>You all...
>What do you know?

>I know that Abukuma and Ooi never got along. Also
>Maya, in the end, got a ball through the tallest hoop
>Wait...
>I also know that humans
>are weak.

>And we are even weaker.
>I'm sorry.
>I'm so sorry....

>Want to make a bet?
>On the next one to die?
>Sure.

>The wind blew it off again.
>Mmm...I was so close too...
>......
>Yukikaze, you....
>?
>This hand's shit.
>I fold.
>............
>RJ, do you like the admiral?

>I love him.
>But only in the same way of a daughter following her father.
>He's very kind.
>......
>You can't fake that kind of kindness....
>Royal Flush.  (TL note: As you can tell, Shiranui has exchanged the Ace for their house rules Joker).

>Since we've started playing, this is the first time I've seen a hand like that...
>It's the first time for me as well.
>Next time I want to play a deck without a joker.
>......
>Then I'm going to leave with Yukikaze.
>Sorry.  After this...is up to you.
>This hand is shit.
>I fold.

>Goodbye
>Liar.

>And now it's just you.
>That's how it is.
>Why did they die?
>Their lifespans came to an end.
>I'm asking you why they killed themselves.

>Well
>I guessed that it was about time you noticed.
>Very well.
>I'll tell you the truth.

>......
>Is this really alright?
>Mmm...
>How should I say it...
>I'm sorry, for a lot of things?

>If I knew things would end up like this, I really ought to have made up with you.
>Why is Ooi-san crying?
>Why is Abukuma-Chan leaving first?

>Take care.
>Yep.
>Until next time.
>Mmhm.
>I'll deal with the Admiral, then.  After all, I'm going soon too.

>may we meet again.
>In all her life, Abukuma's greatest dream was to find out what Chocolate tasted like.

>....?
>But...aren't you...
>Yes.  We are fundamentally different from humans
>We don't need food, nor have we the proper faculties for dealing with food.
>So, when we eat human food, our systems clog up
>and we die.
>The fuel we normally consume...
>is neither what you would call food, nor what tastes like food.
>But no matter what, every day
>Every day

>Every Day,
>We must drink that, and nothing else.

>To taste it once, to try different foods
>to try delicious food
>every Kanmusu has that dream.
>We could forget it when we were fighting for our lives.
>We can at least fulfill another dream, another reason to exist, on the front lines.
>But once hte war is over, and all that's left is the drudgery of daily life
>That kind of wish begins to surface.

>Rather than live on endlessly, why don't we just end our lives, fulfilling our dreams?
>The closer we got to you, the more those feelings intensify.
>I completely, utterly detest you, as a human.

>It's really good...
>My tongue feels as if it's been burnt...

>But even so, even with all that hatred and spite and revulsion...
>I love you even more.
>...!

>But we feel neither emptiness, nor do we feel grief.
>It's only because you eat the living that you, too, are living.
>Of course, the "correct" way of playing doesn't involve a joker.
>But it's because the Joker is added that your options expand....
>Doesn't this change make you happier?  Of course, Abukuma herself...

>Admiral...
>Do you remember what day is in a week?
>It's your birthday, right?
>There's a gift that I would like.
>What is it?

>Hamboigah steak

>(Tl note: singing) As long as you have faith, we will again meet
>until that day, please your own health keep.
>You sing pretty well.
>Many thanks.
>Who wrote this song.
>hm--?
>(The guy who drew the comic) wrote it himself.
>[Ehhh--]
>(TL note: voice from heaven) What?!  Is that not okay?!
>Ugh...nevermind
>The time for separation is here, but please, stem your tears
>Please stop singing, this isn't the dramatic scene yet.
>Without you I can still live on~
>Shut up already!

>[Whoosh]
>Mm
>It's a good day!

>A Black Summer Day (TL note: A Summer day Painted Black, I don't know what that means, I recommend you fill in what you think is right)

>WHat is it?
>Ah...
>It's already the middle of the night, but the cicadas are still chirping
>Tricked by the lights of men into thinking it's the middle of the day
>It's clearly not light out, and yet they still cry out
>This kind of scene...isn't it something?

>Cicadas and humans are different, you know.
>Hm?
>Only male cicadas know how to cry out.
>But in humans, it's the females who cry all the time.
>It's not that Women cry too much
>Its that men don't know how to cry.

>You...are you saying...
>It's like they say in the books
>An empty heart is the best seasoning.

>The second day, Shiranui was almost immobile.
>Partly because her fuel was insufficient, but also because she was running on low power to conserve what fuel remained.
>Admiral, please.
>Even when you sleep >Please, let me stay by your side.

>There's nobody left.

>If I did anything to you, my family in heaven would be angry.
>Well, it's not like I have reproductive organs anyway.

>Shiranui, you...
>mmmhm?
>You've always normally told me that you are fundamentally different from humans.  Did you say it so that when the heavens saw something like this, they wouldn't be able to say anything?

>How cruel the heavens be.
>During the war, there were many soldiers who could not be saved who were simply carted out
>And listening to their last words was the job of this old man.
>Once we injected them with (TL note: the term is "poisonous drugs", but this can also indicate illegal drug/painkillers like Opiates in addition to simply drugs meant ot kill) , those soldiers passed away without a care in the world, smiling as if they had been blessed with a happiness nobody else could see.
>And from then on, this old man swore he would never do something like that ever again.

>But what I'm doing now is even crueler than what I did then.
>That...Shiranui, that is your...
>First birthday present.

>Crying sounds.

>[machine sounds]
> :V

>[Gurgle]
>I want to live...!
>[machine sounds]
 >At least...until this baby....grows up....
>I want to live until that day...!

>Hearing those words makes me happy...!

>This old man won't give up.
>I will definitely find a way so that you will eat your fill...!
