3. To stop the otherworldly "Kaijuu" from invading Earth, individuals wielding special powers known as "Aegis" are tasked with the protection of the world. Aratsugu Yorino, is one of the aspiring "Bastioners" - soldiers who fight the invaders within the wall between the two worlds.
4. Yorino has been steadily getting used to her life as a Bastioner. Her partner, Youko, seems to have many things that she can't stop thinking about, but there's also something about Yorino has been weighing on her mind.
5. After making some friends upon Youko's recommendation, Yorino, who only had revenge in her heart, is now slowly finding comfort in friendship.
10. As long as you are here, I will fight.
17. A girl with a prodigious aptitude for battle. She shows very few emotions. She had a very close friend who she was always together with, but she lost her life after saving Yorino. From then on, she became a Bastioner with strong determination.
18. A woman with an easygoing attitude. She achieved high marks in her studies and she also had a high aptitude for battle since her cadet days. She dances to the beat of her own drum even when in combat situations. It seems that she senses something special from Yorino's powers...
19. Generated from the heart, this energy governs the consciousness of living things. Aegis energy is also a part of the Astral Body.

1. "Whenever we kill a kaijuu... A person dies...?"
2. "....."
3. "W-what does that mean...?"
4. "They will explain everything there."
5. "Come with me to headquarters after school today."
Loading…Loading…
1. "I have some plans today... Sorry."
2. "Aratsugu-san! Want to go shopping with me on the way home?"
3. "Shall we go?"
1. The lonely pair.
1. "Here."
2. "Welcome!"
3. "I brought her along, keiko-san."
4. "I'm ara-tsugu yorino."
5. "I'm matsushiba keiko. I'm one of the analysts here."
6. "Nice to meet you."
7. "So you've noticed what's inside the kaijuu, huh?"
1. "And the world we live in now, were originally one and the same."
2. "The other world where the enemy resides in,"
3. "However, at some point in ancient times, the world split into two potential branches, creating a parallel world..."
4. "But you already learned this during your training, right?"
5. "Have you already been told about astral bodies?"
6. "Due to this divergence, some bizarre biomechanical phenomena have occurred in the other world..."
7. "Yes."
1. "These amalgamations of living tissue and machine house humans within them,"
2. "Using the energy of their astral bodies to move. They're bio-mechanoids, so to speak."
3. "That's what kaijuu are."
4. "Yes."
5. "So the man that has been powering that kaijuu"
6. "Was the same person as the one in the news yesterday?"
7. "They're using humans as batteries..."
1. ""Also exist...?""
2. "But it was still originally one and the same as our own, only with a different history,"
3. "After the divergence, the other world has gone through its own separate timeline,"
4. "So many of the humans born here also exist there."
5. "The other world generates a connection between the two humans."
6. "We call this "Shared existence.""
1. "They still share the same astral body. That's what shared existence means."
2. "Even if the two people have different personalities or minor differences in appearance,"
3. "Do astral bodies differ from person to person?"
4. "Like radio channels?"
5. "Astral bodies have electromagnetic energy-like properties,"
6. "So they each have a frequency, so to speak."
7. "Yes, exactly like channels."
8. "Having the same astral body"
9. "Means having the same frequency."
1. "But if they are from different worlds, they'll have a shared existence."
2. "Two people with the same astral body frequency can't be born in one world,"
3. "The two astral bodies stop being isolated."
4. "But if there's only one layer of the wall left to separate them,"
5. "So shared existence should not have any effect,"
6. "Normally, the two-layered wall separates the two worlds,"
7. "They would both "Connect" to the same "Channel.""
8. "Since they have the same frequency,"
1. "And if one of the "Ends""
2. "Of the astral body link goes out,"
3. "The other end would go out with it as well."
4. "In other words, whenever you kill a kaijuu inside the wall, you inevitably kill"
5. "Both the person inside the wall and the person they share existence with in this world."
1. "......"
2. "The causes of death that manifest in our world are heart failure, stroke, or other similar causes."
3. "When a person dies because of an extinguished astral body, most of the time,"
4. "Then, for the past three weeks..."
5. "I've killed... Seven people...?"
1. "Yeah..."
2. "Did you know about all of this, captain...?"
3. "The higher-ups decided that soldiers who don't find out about it are to be kept in the dark."
4. "Why... Didn't you tell me about it...?"
5. "If more soldiers knew about this, it would reduce our numbers greatly..."
6. "Most of those who find out end up requesting to be discharged."
1. "That's why we have no choice but to hide it."
2. "And the enemy will succeed in their invasion."
3. "If that happens, we'll lose the fight,"
4. "......"
5. "I am willing to do anything to protect this world."
6. "That's why I avoided telling you about this."
7. "You're a capable soldier. I don't want you to quit."
1. "Now that you already know this, decide for yourself what you want to do, yorino-chan."
1. "Captain, why do you keep on fighting?"
1. "That's because I've already gone insane..."
1. "Oh, yorino-chan..."
2. "......"
3. "Do you need some- thing?"
4. "Do you have the data"
5. "On the people that I've killed?"

2. "I'm the same as you, captain..."
3. "Are you sure you want to keep doing this?"
1. "I'm scared of that happening..."
2. "If I stop now, haruka's death will be meaningless..."
3. "And end the fighting once and for all."

5. "If there has to be someone to take the burden..."

2. "Do you want to fall into hell with me?"
3. "...yes."

5. "Before the fighting is over..."
