This is how I'll become...
...Supreme Commander.
...a hero.
This is my story!
Encounter, Kyouka, Rampage
Welcome, ma'am!
Thanks.
Yuuki.
I'm going to take care of the paperwork.
Wait for me outside.
Sure.
So, the 5th Squad's gateway is connected
all the way to Yamagata, huh?
Yamagata
Passage
It only took us a 20 minute
drive on the other side.
DEMON DEFENSE FORCE
5TH SQUADRON DORM
Interdimensional travel is nuts!
INNER GATEWAY
Thanks for waiting.
What's the matter?
Oh! It's just nice to be back
in our home world, ya know!
We'd all burn out
without a break from work.
But time off is in short supply.
Enjoy the fresh air while you can.
Yes, ma'am!
She's awfully pretty,
now that I take a good look.
Look ahead when you walk.
S-sorry about that!
U-um... may I ask where we're going?
Yuuki?
Yuuki!
Have you seen Yuuki anywhere?
Yuuki went out with the Commander earlier.
He did?
Yep!
Himari took them to the Yamagata Passage
while out on her regular patrol.
Oh, right.
May 11th
Today is...
Mato Mishap
Memorial Monument
There was an incident
at Mount Gassan in Oisawa
where dozens of Shuuki
wandered into this world.
And one of them was especially powerful.
I remember it as clear as day.
It had a single horn
that really stuck out.
So I call it... the "Unihorn."
All of the Shuuki
that crossed over that day
were wiped out by the
Demon Defense Force who arrived to help.
Or so I thought.
But after looking through the records,
I discovered the Unihorn alone managed to
escape back through the gateway into Mato.
So the Unihorn is still alive...
I have a score to settle
with that damn Shuuki.
I swear I'm gonna
make mincemeat out of it!
And I want you to be prepared
for when that day comes, Yuuki.
That's what I brought you here
to talk about.
I will avenge everyone who died.
Time for us to go back to Mato.
Wait, Miss Kyouka!
Can we take a break first?
I did a little research, and it turns out
this cafe is famous for its parfaits!
But Mato is more important...
Check it out!
Doesn't this parfait just look amazing?!
Fine. But make it short.
You're more assertive than
I gave you credit for.
It's surprising.
Well, you enjoy sweet treats, don't you?
I'm just more concerned about Mato.
I lost my big sister
in a Mato Mishap, too.
So I know how you must feel.
But listen,
you'll miss your chance at vengeance
if you run yourself ragged first.
"We'd all burn out
without a break from work."
Remember?
Persuasion is
another forte of yours, I see.
Here is your order.
Let's see how good this parfait really is.
Yum! It's fantastic!
What's wrong?
Oh, nothing!
Just caught up in my own thoughts.
Delish.
Seeing a smile on Miss Kyouka's face
for the first time
actually brought back memories
of my sister.
Wow! It's delicious!
I took your suggestion from yesterday
and added a little bit of yuzu citrus.
You're such a smart cookie!
I give it one million thumbs up!
Don't squeeze so tight, Sis!
Keep up the hard work, Yuuki!
Boys are defined by their skills
in the kitchen!
Aren't you going to eat?
It's delicious!
The parfaits here
really are as good as they say!
Yeah.
A conch shell horn?
It's an emergency call from Mato.
A single blow of the conch shell
means it's not life threatening...
but something serious
is happening nonetheless!
Break time is over!
We need to hurry back!
We're gonna do that here?!
That wiped me out...
We made it back in no time flat.
Nice job.
I'm going to get changed.
Okay.
Come with me.
Huh?!
So, uh...
Help me take these off.
I-is this my reward from your ability?
What the hell else could it possibly be?!
Y-yeah, good point!
Hurry it up.
Yes, ma'am!
Holy crap.
We're deep in fetish territory.
Does that mean I'm wishing for
this kind of stuff subconsciously?!
It's exactly what you think.
You damn perv.
Welcome back, you two!
Give me the sitrep.
There was a discovery made
during today's patrols.
A crater-like formation appeared
about 21 kilometers to the south.
Along with a large number of Shuuki.
Hold up, are all of those red dots
supposed to be Shuuki?!
A crater?
We've never seen
anything like that before.
They're not making any moves
to leave that area.
It's almost like a nest of some kind.
I'm sorry for having
to ruin your precious day off.
That's okay. Good work.
This problem needs our attention.
Wiping them out will be a huge undertaking
for the 7th Squad.
Hell yeah!
Let's smash them all like bugs!
Whoa! Someone's fired up!
Get ready to move out.
We'll ride in three vehicles.
Yes, ma'am!
I count as the third vehicle?!
We're going on ahead!
Yuuki!
Talk about fast!
He's just a wild animal.
It would be horrific
if any people got stuck here.
Let's clear them out!
Don't rush it.
Wait for my signal.
We'll use the 7th Squad's perfect teamwork
to eliminate the entire swarm of them.
Here goes!
Himari!
I'm on it!
If they merge, it will be easier
than taking them down one by one.
That's our time to shine!
We'll crush the big one and call it a day!
The Shuuki are tough bastards,
but their fighting style is simplistic.
It's impossible for us to lose
with this strategy.
We'll destroy them
once they've reached peak size.
Be ready to jump into battle at any time!
Yes, ma'am!
Miss Kyouka!
Shushu!
One horn... that's really long...
It's him!
Dammit!
I'm here to join the party.
It talks?!
What are you? A monster?!
Now that's not very nice.
Be careful...
because I have more
than just a sharp tongue!
Himari!
That felt good!
Well, now. Aren't we a tough one?
I've finally found you...
Unihorn!
Oh? Sounds like they have
a nickname for you!
That's the bastard who destroyed
Miss Kyouka's hometown!
You, on the Shuuki! Who are you?!
I guess you could say...
I'm the Demon Defense Force's archenemy.
A Mato Peach?!
By the way, have you seen
my little brother anywhere?
He's easy to spot, seeing as how
he's the most handsome man ever.
Little brother?
There are more of these things?
My little brother was
obsessed with me, you see.
He was always following me
around when we were young!
In spite of that,
the instant he got a bit older,
he turned into such a rascal!
But those were fun days for me,
because I got to knock
some manners into him!
It can talk?! Is it a Shuuki?
Whatever, all that matters right now
is that this one's clearly different
from the rest!
My little brother's name is...
I'm talking to them about my brother,
so don't get in the damn way!
Have a snack.
I get it...
you must be their Supreme Commander!
You just don't know anything
about Mato, huh?
This is a world full of curses!
What?!
You've got a nice Shuuki of your own.
But say goodbye!
This isn't a Shuuki.
You're...
Friggin' cowards!
Don't run away from me!
Miss Kyouka!
Fine then!
I'll do exactly what you did
to all those fleeing villagers!
And tear you apart from behind!
YUUKI!
What are you doing, Yuuki?!
They're gettin-
You okay, Shushu?
Y-yeah.
Yuuki!
Himari and Shushu's safety
is our top priority.
We're pulling back now!
Yes, ma'am!
What was I thinking?!
I let my rage take over.
And it almost cost me my squadmates.
Fortunately, their wounds
are relatively light.
They'll be fully recovered by tomorrow.
That's great news...
Anyways,
I can't believe the kind of filthy rewards
that come out of your subconscious.
Seriously, this is just disgusting.
You perv.
I feel you.
The demands of my inner psyche
are starting to terrify even me!
In regards to that last battle,
I have a lot of questions and comments
to go over with you.
For starters-
I have something to report to you, too!
But does it have to be
while we're like this?!
I don't want to waste time.
And this "reward" of yours
isn't going to end soon.
I'm sorry that the Unihorn got away.
Shushu and Himari's lives
were more important.
I appreciate what you did.
Well, you have an interesting way
of showing it!
As if!
This is something that you
subconsciously ASKED for, dammit!
So, back to the Unihorn.
That humanoid riding on top of it
must be some new species of Shuuki.
It's crazy to think that a Shuuki
could speak our language.
This news is going to shock
the entire country.
Well, about that new species...
Remember how I told you my big sister
went missing in a Mato Mishap?
I think that thing
kind of resembled her...
You're saying it might be your sister?
Yeah. It's just a feeling I had.
But also, it had a strange reaction
when it saw my face.
Well, it did say something about
searching for a "little brother."
I'm betting that word just triggered
memories of your sister.
Besides, it told us that its brother
is supposed to be
"the most handsome man ever."
Yeah, true.
That doesn't describe me at all...
In any case, no ordinary human
could be that strong.
Plus, nobody has ever heard of
a human becoming a Shuuki.
We're bound to cross paths again.
Because we won't stop looking
until we find them.
Yes, ma'am!
It's weird how happy you seem
about getting stepped on.
I mean, the view IS nice from down here.
You goddamn perv!
Miss Kyouka? No, wait!
Miss Kyouka seemed convinced that
it was a humanoid species of Shuuki.
But if it really was my sister,
why would she be attacking
the Demon Defense Forces?
How has she stayed alive until now?
And why is she working
with that horned monstrosity?
If we see them again, what should I...?
...ki!
If we see them again, what should I...?
Mr. Yuuki!
If we see them again, what should I...?
Mr. Yuuki!
That pot is about to boil over!
Sorry! I was spacing out!
Kneel down here, please.
Nei needs to take care of some business
as your senpai.
What does that mean?
Anybody who exposes the squad to danger
must be punished!
Senpai Punch!
I'm sorry!
You had a big day,
going out there to fight tough enemies
and save Shushu from danger.
So I know that you're tired.
I'm not the best cook,
but I can make simple meals,
so would you like me to handle dinner?
Wow, thanks!
It's all part of being a good senpai!
But that's okay. I'm good to cook.
I almost don't deserve
such an amazing senpai!
Thank you.
Alright!
Would you mind helping
to plate all the food?
Just leave it to me!
I can figure out whether or not
she's my sister the next time we meet.
For now, gotta focus on work!
Crawling back here with injuries? Really?
I thought that you were above
such disgraces...
Aoba.
What can I say? I got taken by surprise.
There! All better!
Perfect!
Thank you, Coco!
That was Yuuki, I'm sure of it.
But I dunno how he ended up
looking like a Shuuki.
An experiment by the Demon Defense Force?
Or the ability of that woman
riding on top of him?
When did they start letting guys into
the Demon Defense Force, anyways?
But it was a nice reunion.
Right, Yuuki?
The Unihorn was crazy powerful.
If we fight again-
What's eating at you, my little slave?
Whoa! Shushu?!
You're already back in action?
Yep! I'm in tip-top shape!
Thanks for saving my butt
when I was in big trouble.
Of course, don't mention it.
Let me return the favor...
with a nice back scrub!
Hey! Enough with the jokes!
Oh! You sure you wanna turn around?
I'm totally naked back here, ya know.
So just shut up and let me wash your back.
Okay, bossman, here we go.
Is she actually naked?
Well, I can't risk turning around
if that's true.
Shushu's pulling this
little prank in the belief
that I'm NOT the type of guy
who'd turn around!
Or maybe that's just what
she WANTS me to think!
I hear that most people
are prone to playing it safe.
So confidently turning around
and saying "I knew you had a swimsuit on!
Now get out of here!"
would be the smart move
in order to teach her a lesson!
Here goes!
Too bad, Shushu,
but I wasn't born yesterda-
What the eff?! You were actually naked?!
Yuuki just got an eyeful of me...
And now my heart is racing!
Guess you're ready to
finally have it twisted off, huh?!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Hold up! Hold up!
I put up a sign that said
"bath occupied," didn't I?!
Then you should've made it more clear...
that it was A GUY IN THE BATH!
Hello there.
Never a dull moment
with the 7th Squad, huh?
Intruder alert!
These two are members
of the 6th Squad.
Huh?
I'm the commander of the 6th Squad.
Tenka Izumo.
TENKA IZUMO
And I'm her second-in-command.
Yachiho Azuma.
YACHIHO AZUMA
Azuma?
So you're the slave
I've heard so much about...
Anyways,
could you fetch Kyo for me?
Y-you mean Miss Kyouka?
Sure! Right away!
TEACH US! NEI-SENPAI!
"Teach Us! Nei-senpai!"
Okey-dokey!
SURE TO FIND: PROMISE
Today we're talking
about my Peach ability.
It's called "Sure To Find: Promise."
Otherwise known as clairvoyance,
this ability gives me the power
to see places far away,
which I use to determine the locations of
Shuuki and victims of Mato Mishaps.
I can also use it to share the POV of
a person who has touched me before,
so it's an ability highly valued
by scouting teams!
There are some places where my powers
can't observe, such as inside caves,
and it's pretty useless in combat.
But I believe that I have my own role
to play and always give it my very best!
Anyways, next time:
WHIRLWIND,
HIMARI,
ROAR
"Whirlwind, Himari, Roar"
Thanks for watching!
