i-no gets ky killed

7. [ Airship Infirmary - Temptation ]
Ky: Lord... what a man.

Officer: About Sol-sama... is that really okay?

Ky: Yes. If he keeps breaking the rules, he loses his rights.

Officer: But... that woman...

Ky: I know. She's not a normal person.

Officer: Then... why do that to Sol-sama?

Ky: If he wanted to check on I-No-san's true nature, he should've reported to me. That man doesn't even take the time to do that.

Officer: That's true... she said her name was I-No, correct? What do you think, Ky-sama?

Ky: She seemed a master of confrontation... she was confronting Sol for just a moment.

Officer: I see...

Ky: To hide one's power... she is perhaps a military runaway. To be honest, certainly desirable for our Holy Order. Post a guard by her room. If she leaves, contact me immediately.

Officer: Understood.

Alert: Emergency, emergency. All commanding officers please report to the bridge.

Ky: What is it?

Officer: From Rome, Italy, an emergency call!

Ky: What's happening?

Officer: Three Megadeath-class Gears, and about 200 large-class Gears.

Ky: The local army?

Officer: Taking care of the local citizens. I can't estimate their military strength.

Ky: What has headquarters said?

Officer: Reporting... they say to wait for reinforcements.

Ky: I see...

Officer: But then, the citizens will...!

Ky: With their strength now, they can't avoid the destruction of Rome. Thus we must prioritize increasing their strength and destroying the Gears. Is that a proper evaluation?

Officer: It's valid, but...

Ky: Yes?

Officer: Even if we offer rescue, there are consequences. Right now there is nobody looking after the refugees... if the city, crumbles, they will all...

Ky: That is truth. But...

Officer: But?

Ky: That is not hope. We are the hope of mankind. Am I mistaken?

Officer: Sir!

Ky: Enter battle preparations! We will secure the safety of the citizens.

Officer: How many shall we send in?

Ky: This is not our official duty. Please ask for volunteers.

Officer: Understood. But then...

Ky: Is something wrong?

Officer: No. I will ask... but...

Ky: I don't care. I'll go even alone. Now then...!

Officer: Ky-sama!

Ky: I-No-san, excuse me.

I-No: Oh, handsome Captain. What was that siren just now?

Ky: This ship is headed towards Rome in order to fight Gears.

I-No: I see... do your best.

Ky: Ah... it's hard for me to say, but we cannot guarantee your safety. I'm sorry, but I must ask you to get off the ship.

I-No: What?

Ky: We'll take you to a village closeby.

I-No: Very earnest...

Ky: Huh?

I-No: Work despite the circumstances... even if I hear that, I have no choice.

Ky: That's...

I-No: You realize it, right? My power.

Ky: Yes. But to me, you're still a civilian. If saving you is my duty, then I must...

I-No: You said Rome, right? There's over a million people there.

Ky: Yes, but...

I-No: Don't misunderstand. I'll do what I want. I don't like things decided for me.

Ky: Forgive me... after all, we were assembled because of duty. We don't have the right to choose people. If you would like to become hope...

I-No: Oh, don't get the wrong impression. I don't want to join your Order. I'll just take what I want.

Ky: You mean... recompensation? Then I'll try to arrange what I can.

I-No: That's okay. I don't want money. Instead... (whispers)

Ky: Ah... that's...!

I-No: A million... million!

Ky: But... that's too...

I-No: Come on.

Ky: Under-stood...

I-No: Then... later! Come back alive! I'll be waiting in my room...

Ky: I... will do my best.

I-No: How cute, turning bright red! Well... it doesn't look like this'll be boring...

8. [ Airship - The Order's Vow ]
Ky: Please come in.

Officer: Pardon me. Ky-sama, the unit has been formed.

Ky: How many...

Officer: Just about everybody. The minimum crew for the operation of the ship will remain behind.

Ky: I see. And what did headquarters actually say?

Officer: As I said. "Wait for reinforcements". Just... one thing more. "If you don't like that, do what you want."

Ky: Commander Kliff, I see... just like him.

Officer: I feel the same way. Then, please speak to the troops.

Ky: Sometimes I feel angry at myself... even though I'm telling them to commit suicide... they follow me anyway.

Officer: Then, why ask for volunteers? You could've just ordered everyone.

Ky: Yes... if we live, I'll remember that.

Officer: Please don't make that face. The soldiers will be frightened.

Ky: And it would be nice if they were frightened and quit... no. Let's go.

Officer: Salute the Captain!

Ky: Everyone... thank you for gathering. Please hear me. In the battle between humans and Gears, we do not have the advantage. No... we are in a dangerous situation. And now, we are headed towards an unfair battle. In terms of military and logistics, it's meaningless. But then why? With technology, humans created forbidden creations, and yet still did not gain the ability to stop war. They wanted... a rational world where humans did not fight. And then... Gears were born. War came to humans who responded with machines. But... a battle between machines cannot be called a victory. Therefore, we, as humanity, have to pick what looks like the foolish road. We will save the citizens of Rome. It's because we can't let lives pass in front of us! Do we care what happens afterwards?

Ky: God, by your grace, please save us! Holy Order, set forth!

9. [ Airship - The Order's Vow ]
I-No: Hmph, I'm amazed. If that group isn't totally composed of idiots, the monsters'll get mowed over.

Ky: Stun Edge!

Ky: There's no end to them. Is everybody safe yet?

Officer: It would be in another 15 minutes! But the soldiers are at their limit. Let us withdraw! We can't get wiped out here!

Ky: Please begin retreating yourselves!

Officer: Ky-sama!

Ky: I can't leave a single person behind! That is the oath we made as a Holy Knight. And I haven't made sure that I-No-san is safe yet!

Officer: Ky-sama! You must be at your limit too! You can't...

Ky: Fifteen minutes! I'll be here for fifteen minutes! Ride the Lightning!

Officer: Ky-sama, wait! That idiot... Physical Attack Division, follow me!

Sol: Leave him to me!

Officer: Sol...sama!

Sol: I'll bring the boy back.

Officer: Huh?

Sol: What are you doing? Hurry!

Officer: Sir! Physical Attack Division, Magic Division, begin retreat!

Officer: ... I leave Ky-sama to you!

10. [ I-No - Monologue ]
I-No: Huh! He really is naive. But how fun... this'll make for great sightseeing.

11. [ Battle of Rome - Deathmatch ]
Ky: Needle Spike!

Ky: I've made it this far... just five more minutes... Ride the Lightning!

Ky: A large-type Gear, here...! Is I-No-san... safe...

Ky: Still going!

Ky: Are you my death god...? God, by your grace, please save my future! Holy Order Ougi... Spike Voltage!

Sol: Trash... move aside.

Sol: Move aside! Tyrant Rave!

Sol: I came to pick you up.

Ky: Always coming late... you never could fix that...

Sol: You...

Ky: As to be expected... until the very end... I could never beat you...

Sol: Don't say anything!

Ky: I have... a request...

Sol: I said shut up!

Ky: After Commander Kliff... carry on... the Holy Order...

Sol: Stop it... that's your job!

Ky: Please... promise me...

Sol: Dammit...

Ky: If it's you... you can do...

Sol: Hey.... what's wrong. Hey! KYYYYYY!
