9S:

How long will I continue to fight on this endless bloody battlefield?
How long will I continue to pray for the high glory and the hateful?

How long will I continue to pursue that sublime back that I yearn for?

It's almost time to start the operation, huh.

If I follow the simulation, there should be no problem. If I fail, it'll be all over.
I have to make sure it succeeds.

Here it is, the after-school chime.

2B & 9S (narration)

Time to Rela[X] Yankii Acadmy YoRHa

9S:

This is it. I've already researched that she'll be going home after school at exactly 16:35 through this back of the school building.
She's not in any clubs or committees, so her schedule shouldn't change.

T-T-Today is the day I'll give her this letter to convey my feelings.
But if she were to turn me down...
I mean, she's the idol of the whole acadmy and has the best grades.
Compared to her, I'm...

H-Here she comes. I've got to steel myself.

2B...senpai...!

2B:

You're 9S. What are you doing here?

9S:

Th-There is something I must give you.
Please accept this.

2B:

This letter is...?

9S:

I wrote my honest feelings.
These are my true feelingstowards you, 2B-senpai.

2B:

Alright, I have certainly received your feelings.

9S:

Huh?

2B:

That's why, I, too, will answer your feelings with seriousness.

9S:

Then...

2B:

I'll start now.

9S:

Right, 2B-senpai, today I will surpass you, the Bancho (delinquent leader) of this academy!

2B:

YoRHa Acadmy Restrictions Article 1: Fights are limited to one-on-one.

9S:

Restrictions Article 2: Weapons are forbidden. Only fight with fists.

2B:

-Glory to...

9S:

-These fists!

9S:

I'll take the top spot at YoRHa Academy as the blade that flows through the night!

21O:

The sight of him sprawled out on the ground is truly pitiful.

6O:

I feel super bad for him. it's like, so pathetic how he took the hit, right?

9S:

I...I....

21O:

How do you feel after waking up from your defeat?

9S:

De...feat... That's right, I challenged 2B-senpai to fight one-on one.

6O:

We were watching you and it was like a knockout with one punch.
It really felt like a one-sided game.

9S:

With just one punch? I knew all along, but 2B-senpai is really strong.

She's strong and dignified, and on top of that, always cool.

You truly are the best, 2B-senpai.

6O:

This boy is happy about being beaten up?

It's like he's a total pervert.

21O:

Lewdness is forbidden, as per restrictions.

9S:

You're mistaken. My thoughts are more pure.

O-Or rather, who are you two?

21O:

You are extremely ignorant for not recognizing us.

9S:

Uh-huh, sorry.

21O:

I am the student council president of YoRHa Academy, 21O.

6O:

I'm the vice president, 6O. Peace.

9S:

The student council...? Or rather, Vice-president-san

I'm not sure if you're just cheerful, or if you're simply a gyaru.

6O:

If you look down on gyarus, you'll get the bat, okay?

9S:

Hey, where did you take out that nail bat from?!

6O:

I'll operate you all the way to hell.

9S:

She's an unreasonable, violent gyaru!

21O:

In this YoRHa Academy, strength is justice.

Those who succeed, get to stand at the top, and get the title of Bancho.

The current Bancho, 2B have the ability to surpass the former Bancho

Tsundere Berserker, A2, which was hailed as the strongest.

6O:

Apparently other challengers are aiming for her title as the strongest.

21O:

The naked mad dog brothers, Adam and Eve, from the Machine Life Form Industrial High School.

The hard-working Lily at the top of Resistance Commercial High School.

And many others.

9S:

That many people are after 2B-senpai?

21O:

Do you now understand? A child like you, no, a wimp yankii like you can't hope to win.

9S:

Please stop treating me like a child. I've been training hard for today too.

21O:

However, please don't worry, we're here to support you.

9S:

Huh?

21O:

To the student council president, students are like family and family members support each other.

9S:

S-Student council president!

21O:

This is for you.

9S:

What is this flimsy thing?

6O:

It's a CQC physical attack up +8 transdermal patch (shippu).

9S:

-Chip (chippu)?

21O:

-No, transdermal patch (shippu).

It's a transdermal patch. By applying it to your body, your physical abilities will be greatly enhanced.

There are also Shock Wave +8 patch, Offensive Heal +8 patch and Reset patch.

9S:

No, wait, that's doping! isn't it cheating?!

21O:

Normally, the set costs 50,000 gold.

But you can now purchase it for just 45,000 gold.

9S:

And you charge money for them? They're so expensive I don't need such things.

6O:

In this school, the weak have no right to refuse.

9S:

This is just full-on extortion!

21O:

It's up to you whether you actually use them or not.

You can also strengthen your will by not using them!

Understood?

9S:

Yeah, yeah, I get it. I just need to buy it, right?

21O:

-You have to affirm three times.

9S:

-Wait, shouldn't it be once?

21O:

Three affirmations are enough to compensate for your weakness. Understood?

9S:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

21O:

Then, thank you for your purchase. We look forward to serving you again!

6O:

See ya.

9S:

I...I was extorted.

9S:

I lost the duel and got extorted by a strange duo. What a rough day.

At this rate, I'll never reach 2B-senpai's level...

White:

Are you still on campus, 9S?

9S:

You're Commander... No, I mean, White-sensei.

White:

I was just looking for you to tell you something as your homeroom teacher.

9S:

Huh, w-what is it?

White:

It's about your grades. You were at the top of your class when you enrolled.

You must have been preoccupied with something recently. What happened?

9S:

Well, um, it's something more important than studying.

White:

Let me make this clear now.

9S, you are not suitable for this school. Transfer immediately.

9S:

Transfer? That can't be...

White:

YoRHa Academy is not a proper school.

A highly-skilled individual like you should go to the famous new school, Square Enix school.

They have the world-famous Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy departments there.

9S:

I'm not interested in such things.

It has to be here, it has to be YoRHa where she is. That's why...

White:

Ah, here we go, this again.

9S:

Um, Sensei...?

White:

Every last one of you just won't listen to me at all.

White:

Seriously, I really can't take this.

Gulping noises, followed by a metal can hitting the ground

9S:

Huh, no way. Are you drunk?

White:

Yeah, that's right, I'm drunk.

And what of it, is a teacher drinking alcohol bad now?

A can opens, followed by more gulping noises

9S:

Of course you can't! This is a school, you know.

Ugh, you reek of alcohol.

White:

How can I go through all this and not drink?

The students don't listen to what I say. And the PTA and Mon-Par are always complaining.

9S:

Are you talking about Monster Parents?

White:

Yeah, the one especially noisy is the PTA's Council of Humanity.

A phone ringing, followed by a click

The Council of Humanity:

What's going on, the masu?

My children's grades have not improved at all, the masu.

Is it possible that your teaching is bad?

White:

No, your 22B-san, 64B-san, and 8B-san keep leaving class.

No, slacking kids is causing me trouble too.

The Council of Humanity:

Well, you're not saying that my kids are at fault, are you, the masu?

This must be the habit of imperial teachers in these imperial schools.

9S:

Wha...?

White:

Are you fucking kidding me?

Always, always, always just talking one-sidedly.

You always just talk nonsense and never do anything yourself.

I'm the one who's having a harder time than anyone else here.

Ah, jeez, I can't do this without a drink.

Yet another can clinks open, followed by gulping noises

9S:

It's tough being a teacher, huh?

White:

Dammit...

9S:

If it's that difficult, why don't you just move to another school, Sensei?

White:

I'm not going, I'm staying here.

9S:

Huh?

White:

You're the only one going.

Although I reek, I'm still a teacher of this YoRHa Academy.

Let me at least fulfill my duty as a teacher to the end.

9S:

Sensei.

White:

Go, 9S!

White starts vomitting

9S:

The moment is ruined!

She's sleeping?

White:

Screw the Council of Humanity.

9S:

Ahh, jeez, don't sleep at the gate.

At least lie down on this bench.

A loud noise can be heard from the distance, coming closer

This loud noise...?

Adam:

Eyesore YoRHa, we're here today to collect the tribute.

Eve:

Nii-chan, what's the tribute?

Adam:

It's white rice.

Eve:

Nii-chan, you sure know everything. Oi, time to deliver the white rice!

9S:

You guys are from the Machine Life Form Industrial High School...

The naked mad dog brothers, Adam and Eve!

Adam:

That's old information, you know?!

9S:

You left the old group?

Adam:

Hahaha, now we are the long and short uniforms mad dogs.

We become stronger through self-evolution every day.

Eve:

Nii-chan, why do I have to wear such a short gakuran uniform?

Can I take it off?

Adam:

Delinquents either shorten or lengthen their gakuran uniforms to an extreme,

Don't talk too much and keep quiet.

Eve:

Okay. If you say I should, then I will. But will you play with me later?

Adam:

Yeah.

Eve:

That's a promise, Nii-chan.

9S:

Why don't you go home and play now instead of later?

Adam:

That I can not do. We're here today to beat 2B.

We brothers will receive the title of strongest Bancho.

Adam:

I knew it, so you're after 2B-senpai.

Adam:

Bring her here.

9S:

No.

Adam:

What was that?

9S:

I told you no,

I won't let you lay a finger on 2B-senpai.

Adam:

That's fine. I'll start by grilling you.

Eve:

Nii-chan, what does grilling mean?

Adam:

I'm going to beat him up.

Eve:

Nii-chan, you sure know everything. Oi, I'll beat you up!

9S:

2B-senpai, give me power!

Adam:

That's a good mentality. Will it come true though?

Adam yells as you can hear the sound of an engine revving up, followed by 9S's scream

9S:

U-Using a motorbike in a fight is cowardly...

Adam:

What's wrong with industrial high school students using machines?

Eve:

That's right, that's right!

Adam:

Now, it's your sleep time!

2B:

No, it's too early for bed.

Adam:

That voice...

2B:

YoRHa Acadmy Restrictions Article 1: Fights are limited to one-on-one.

9S:

No way.

2B:

Restrictions Article 2: Weapons are forbidden. Only fight with fists.

Adam:

So you've come.

2B:

Restrictions Article 3: Those who violate the rules are to be shut down by the Bancho.

9S:

2B-senpai, why are you here? You should've been home.

2B:

I forgot my bag behind after our duel.

9S:

Huh, ah, so you only came back to pick it up?

2B:

But thanks to that, I was able to make it in time. It's all okay now, 9S.

9S:

2B-senpai!

Adam:

2B!

I've been waiting for this moment for so long.

Eve:

For so long.

2B:

Unforgivable, you guys...

Adam:

YES! That's it! That's the feeling! PURE HATE!

That is exactly what I have been seeking.

Adam:

Eve, let's do it.

Eve:

Yeah, Nii-chan!

9S:

The two motorbikes surrounding 2B-senpai have burst into flame!

Adam:

No one has ever escaped our 750cc.

Eve:

This is our special move, the Double 750cc Death Star!

9S:

The name is so lame!

They're kicking using the bikes? Wow!

Adam:

Yes, students' true nature is to run, fight, steal, and kill each other.

-THIS is students in their purest form!

Eve:

-Students in their purest form.

Adam:

However, there's no sense of living in an endless life.

That's why I severed my connection to the boring classes.

9S:

You'll end up repeating the year.

Adam:

This is our eighth year!

Eve:

Our superiors are at a loss as to what to do with us!

Adam:

They were simple. Infantile. Almost like plants. So, we destroyed them!

9S:

How could you?

Adam:

2B, I'll make you suffer the same fate!

2B:

Too slow.

Eve:

Your back is wide open!

9S:

At this rate, 2B-senpai will... What should I do?

Ah, that's right. Use this, 2B-senpai!

2B:

9S? Alright.

Adam:

Whatever you're doing, it's pointless. All will be go..ne....

9S:

2B-senpai.

No problem.

Adam:

Impossible. Our 750cc was torn apart in one hit. What is this power?!

9S:

This is the power of the CQC physical attack up +8 tail!

There are also Shock Wave +8 tails, Offensive Heal +8 tails, and Reset tails.

All for the price of just 45,000 gold!

Adam:

Are you fucking kidding me?

Eve:

Nii... chan.

Adam:

Eve, hang in there.

Eve:

When we get back home, let's play again, okay?

Adam:

Yeah, I'll always play with you. That's why...

Eve:

I love seeing your happy face, Nii-chan

Come on... smile. Nii...chan...

Adam:

Eve!

9S:

Wait, you're making a huge fuss a little knee injury...

Adam:

You bastards, how dare you...?

Pascal:

That's far enough.

9S:

You're...

Pascal:

I am Pascal, the head of Machine Lifeform Industrial High School.

9S:

You're their school head? Compared to them, you have a very gentle demeanor.

Pascal:

My daily routine is to take care of my children.

and before I knew it, I was in this position.

Please forgive these children for my sake.

9S:

Forgive them? They came here and attacked us.

Pascal:

These kids just wanted to interact with the Octopus students.

So I taught them that the only way to understand things is through dialogue.

9S:

No, dialogue is good and all, but it is communicated through body language.

Pascal:

Yes, the most important thing is to instill FEAR in the other person.

and then they will do what you say.

9S:

This guy is the culprit, he's the worst of them all!

Pascal:

We will back off for now, but if you continue to lay hands on my children, then...

We have decided to use "DIALOGUE" to achieve "MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING."

9S:

Another one who can't be taken literally.

Pascal:

Well then, if you'll excuse us. Come on, kids, let's head home.

Adam:

Let's go, Eve.

Eve:

Okay, Nii-chan.

9S:

Looks like it's finally over.

2B:

Let's head home, 9S.

9S:

Yeah, and also, um, thank you for saving me.

2B:

I'm the Bancho, so it's only natural.

9S:

I want to get stronger and one day surpass you, 2B-senpai.

No, I want to at least stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

2B:

-I see.

9S:

-Right, 2B-senpai!

2B:

Also, you don't need to use senpai.

9S:

Huh?

2B:

My name doesn't need an honorific. You and I are in the same grade.

9S:

Okay, 2B!

2B:

Alternatively, I will call you Nines.

9S:

Huh? S-Sure, that's what my close friends call me so I'd be happy if you call me that, 2B.

2B:

Then, can I call you Nines-chan?

9S:

Nines...chan?

Um, well, that's a bit.

2B:

Can I call you Nine-chan?

9S:

N-Nine-chan, hey, 2B, aren't you acting a little strange?

2B:

Did you say something, Na-chan?

9S:

It's getting really weird. What's going on?

Pod-153:

Analysis: Projection of deep consciousness involves fatal contradictions and errors of self-identification

9S:

That voice...Pod!

Pod-153:

Negative: I'm not a pod, but the first Bancho of YoRHa Academy, 153, aight?

Pod-042:

And, I'm the legendary Sukeban (delinquent girl,) 042, ya hear?

Pod-153:

If ya look down on us, you'll get it.

I openly decided to have an impure opposite sex interaction in school.

Are ya ready to dance with misfortune and hard luck?

Pod-042:

We'll never forgive ya.

Close-range fire power output maximum, aight?

9S:

It's strange, it's absolutely strange, this is impossible!

Yes, this can't be possible.

Then, could this perhaps be...

2B:

Have you woken up, 9S?

9S:

2B...senpai...

2B:

Senpai? What do you mean?

9S:

Ah no, it's nothing. Thank goodness, you're back to the usual 2B.

2B:

Are you still half asleep?

9S:

Ah, no, how can I say this, um, I had a strange dream.

2B:

We do not dream.

9S:

Hmm, maybe I had an error in my visual processing system while sleeping.

2B:

Regardless, what's is this place?

Pod-153:

Analysis: It's the roof of a building. This building was once used as a school building.

9S:

A school?

2B:

Is there a problem?

9S:

That must be what caused the error... Ah, no, it's nothing. Sorry, I fell asleep during the journey. How long have I been sleeping?

2B:

Pod, how much did I wait?

Pod-042:

Analysis: 116 minutes 56 seconds.

9S:

Nearly two hours? Why didn't you wake me up then?

2B:

Because you looked like you were sleeping comfortably.

9S:

Huh?

Rest is necessary once in a while.

2B:

2B. Ah,..but, wait a second.

9S:

Does that mean you were watching my sleeping face this whole time?

2B:

-I decline to answer.

9S:

-Doesn't that mean you were watching?! How embarrassing.

2B:

It wasn't weird, you were smiling the whole time, like you're having fun.

9S:

Fun? It was certainly an incredibly strange scene but I think that's exactly why it was such a noisy and fun dream.
Ah, no, not a dream.

2B:

We do not dream.

But we can still envision a dream.

9S:

Envision a dream?

2B:

Our mission is to restore peace.

Maybe you envisioned the scene of peace you were hoping for.

9S:

I think the chances of that scene coming true are close to zero, though.

But no matter what kind of world it is...

As long as I can be with you, 2B, that's enough for me.

2B:

9S.

9S:

Even when the world becomes peaceful someday, please let me be by your side, 2B.

2B:

Time to get back to our mission, 9S.

9S:

Alright, let's go, 2B-senpai!

2B:

Senpai?

9S:

Sorry, that was a mistake!
