Looks like the party's getting started.
Madame Ch'en, this is Amiya.
We've found Misha.
Understood.
I'll send you the rendezvous location. Escort the target there immediately.
I understand—
The L.G.D. will make sure the
rendezvous point is safe. Over.
U-Um
She's just treating us as her servants.
Looks like this partnership is in name only.
Let's hurry to the rendezvous point.
She said the L.G.D. will
make sure it's safe there.
Misha?
So you were planning to hand me over
to the L.G.D. from the very beginning?
Oh, no, it's just that the L.G.D. asked us to
take you into protective custody. It's not
I'm such an idiot.
I almost believed you.
I really want to help you!
And I'm going to negotiate with
the L.G.D. to let Rhodes Island
protect you and the other Infected!
There's no way they'll agree to that.
If you were here to take me in,
you could've just said so
instead of lying to me.
That's not it! We aren't trying
to capture you! Though
Sorry. I guess that doesn't
really make a difference to you.
But you can't outrun them
for too much longer, can you?
Given the circumstances,
I think you'd be better off accepting
the L.G.D.'s protection for now.
Put your faith in Amiya.
Hello!
I missed you guys so much!
Exusiai!
Hey there, Amiya!
I gotcha, didn't I?
Yes, you really did!
Yeah!
What are you doing here? Don't you
have work to do at Penguin Logistics?
Hey.
Well, yeah, but I thinks things
are about to get pretty hectic.
Not sure why, but lots of menacing-looking
men are zoning in on this location.
Huh?!
Every route out of the slums
is swarming with hostiles.
Hostiles?
Probably the Reunion fighters
and Infected hiding in the slums.
It wouldn't be all that strange
for the slum dwellers
to take Reunion's side when
they've been oppressed for so long.
Whatever the case, we have to get
out of here and get Misha to safety.
Watch out!
Those are Arts!
They brought Casters with them, huh?
Take care of the Doctor and Misha!
Okay!
Getting in on the action, huh?
So that's Reunion?
Out of my way.
This way!
After her!
Reunion's after Misha, too?
Misha!
I won't let you.
Okay. Got 'em all.
Oh, man! Beautifully done! Good work.
You should be helping out, too.
Are you hurt?
Are you okay, Misha?
I'm fine.
What was that about?
It's like they were waiting for us.
Hey, looks like we've got more company.
That was fast.
What do we do, little bunny?
I want to avoid fighting if possible.
But how do we find a safe route out?
All righty! At times like this,
you can count on me!
I know a secret way out that
the enemies will never suspect.
Really?!
Yup. Though I'll have
to check if it's safe first.
For now, head on over there.
Okay!
All right, see you in a bit.
Be careful!
Let's go, everyone.
Misha?
Take my hand.
Thanks.
We're almost at the place
Exusiai told us about.
Misha, can you walk that far?
Yeah.
Let's go.
Stand back.
Huh?!
You took your time.
Texas!
Want some?
Thanks, but no.
All right, then.
What happened here?
We had guests.
But why are you here?
Exusiai called me.
Wow, guess she can be pretty
thoughtful, every now and then.
It seems these Reunion guys have
a lot of reinforcements at their disposal.
They were still underground not long ago,
but they're out in the open in large groups now.
I knew it. Reunion is using the slums
to build their influence inside Lungmen.
Also
They might be after Misha.
Me? Why?
We don't know why either.
It's probably something that only
Lungmen and Reunion know about.
Well, we just have to go give our captain's
cheek a little poke later to find out.
Exusiai's made sure the route is secure.
Let's go.
Everyone, find cover!
Doctor!
Over here!
They've got us pinned down.
I don't like it when they get the jump on us.
Where is everyone?
There you are.
Misha.
That voice
Fall back!
This way.
Wait!
You're just gonna let them go?
Of course not.
This day has finally come.
Hey, is there a way out up there?
We can't let them catch up to us.
"Do whatever you need to do
to get to your destination."
That's one of Penguin Logistics' mottos.
Like anything?
Hey!
This way! This way!
Hey!
Guys, we're gonna jump from here!
Jump?
U-Um Surely you don't mean
jumping over there?
Yeah! Bingo!
There's no way anybody
would expect this, right?
It's downright perfect, isn't it?
They're here!
Come on now. How is any of this perfect?
Well, I wasn't expecting this.
Texas, how come you
didn't take them all out?
You didn't ask me to go that far.
All right, in that case,
guess we've got no other choice!
She jumped it
Hurry, all of you!
For real?
I'll hold the enemies here! Go on ahead!
Jeez!
Roger!
Doctor, go on ahead, please!
Misha!
Doctor, hold on tight, 'kay?
You aren't going anywhere!
Damn you.
Sorry, but this route is just for us!
Misha
We're almost at the rendezvous point
where Officer Ch'en is waiting for us.
What a journey this has been.
Misha?!
She looks pale.
I'm just feeling a little dizzy.
It's okay.
Let's take a break.
Huh? You're kidding me!
We're almost at our destination!
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
What is Reunion?
They're a group of Infected.
Two groups of Infected
are fighting each other?
Why?
Because the paths we chose are different.
How?
Reunion claims they're creating
a place the Infected can call home.
But that also means they'll kill all non-Infected,
and any who oppose their ideals.
But Rhodes Island is seeking a way for
the Infected and non-Infected to coexist.
That's what you're doing?
Yes.
As we have both chosen different paths
for ourselves, conflict is unavoidable.
As pathetic as that sounds.
I I don't know what happened.
All of a sudden, it went crazy on the streets
of Chernobog, like a war had broken out.
I was so scared.
I didn't know what was going on.
All I could do was run.
It was Reunion who attacked Chernobog.
I see
Misha, how long have you been here?
About a week, maybe.
A week?
After I got to Lungmen, I found out
this was growing. And then
Misha! Hang in there!
Oripathy symptoms
So soon?
There's both acute and chronic Oripathy.
This is only an emergency treatment.
If we don't get you thorough
treatment as soon as possible
Amiya
Misha, we'll ask Lungmen to let us take you
back to Rhodes Island for treatment.
Anyway, let's hurry.
So cramped
What am I supposed to do?
This is the shortest route!
Hey, look, everyone! Once we're
through here, we're at our destination!
Get bent!
This is our turf!
Leave now!
Stop this! We're all Infected here!
We don't want to fight!
You should come with us!
They destroyed our homes!
Wake up already!
Come with us and stand up for the Infected!
What are you talking about?
Give us back our homes!
What should we do, Amiya?
Let's take this chance to slip
past them and out of the slums!
Get out of the way!
Piss off!
Go, Amiya.
I'm okay.
I'll be quick.
Yeah.
Doctor, please take care of Misha.
Sure.
I knew I made the right
choice coming with you.
All right! Let's teach
these bastards a lesson!
Aw, dang. So it's come to this, huh?
You knew it would, didn't you?
Guess so.
It's time you settled down!
All right, there we go!
It's dangerous here.
Hurry up and leave this place.
Leave?
Where are we supposed to go?
This This is our home.
Even if they tear down the whole place,
we have nowhere else to go.
I'm sorry.
Those Reunion punks. They dare call
themselves the "saviors" of the Infected?
Bunch of liars.
Even so, there are those who buy their story.
Really makes me wonder why.
And they don't buy Rhodes Island's at all.
Reunion makes it feel like all the
Infected's dreams could actually come true.
If they can look away from the harsh reality
for even a moment and be saved from it,
it doesn't matter if it's all a fantasy.
The harsher the reality, the more
they want something to hold onto.
But Rhodes Island will never lie about
being able to do something they can't.
The Infected are trapped in their fantasies.
There's no way they'd believe a little bunny
girl who can't flatter them, or tell them lies.
I believe her.
I believe Amiya.
Misha
Thank you.
