I'm Hatonami Ayame.
I'm not all that good at talking,
but my father is Japanese and my mother is Chinese.
My parents lived apart when I was a child
and, in order to raise me,
my mother worked as live-in staff at a relative's Chinese restaurant.
While I was there, I learned Chinese martial arts from the restaurant owner.
The weapons I'm best with are these tonfa.
The reason my parents got divorced was because my father was yakuza.
That's why I really wanted to become a cop.
But, in this world,
I have no idea what's right anymore.
"Dream Road to Death"
F-Food's r-ready!
It's always katsu curry when you're making it, huh?
Katsu curry again?
How do you always end up with katsu curry
when you use different ingredients each time, Sakuma?
I-It's nutritious!
You mean high in calories.
Hey, Guren!
How'd it go?
No good.
There wasn't a soul there.
Katsu curry again?
There are a lot fewer normal people around.
Though, we're starting to run out of food, too.
What should we do?
All right!
Let's go try for a rematch!
Against those guys?
There's only one main road around here.
We'll catch up with them in no time.
T-Time for our bombs, then!
If you use those you'll blast the food away, too,
so back off.
Yoshinaga, what's this?
Oh.
This machine works in conjunction with a map
to tell us where we are and how to get where we're going.
You have such conveniences now?
This is unusual.
You starting to gain an interest in western stuff now?
Yeah. I never imagined such a thing could exist.
Is that...?
What's the matter?
It would seem we're being followed.
What?!
We found you!
Your time has finally come!
Huh?!
Dad?!
Huh?
These guys?!
How were they able to follow us so precisely?
Guren! Stop their ride for us!
Leave it to me, Boss!
What is that?
Wh-What on earth is that?
What is that?
That's...!
Meteora?!
It was still alive?!
What is it doing all the way out here?!
Everyone, look!
The Meteora's form!
It's human-shaped?
What?!
Open up, Yoshinaga!
Yukinojyo!
Rescue them from the vehicle first!
Kenroku, let's go!
Yeah!
Don't let your guard down, either of you!
Sensui!
Bear with it, Kenroku!
We're luring it away!
Sensui, Kenroku!
Here it comes!
This Gibia, Meteora,
doesn't seem all that obsessed with getting its stinger into us.
Feels like it's different from the other Gibia.
Not to mention, it didn't die after we made it fall from so high up.
How are we supposed to defeat it?
Shall we try keeping up constant attacks between the two of us?
So, just fight it like normal?
This one's in a pretty sorry state.
Ayame-chan.
Was that your father?
It was.
I thought about arresting him,
but if he gets himself killed like that, that works, too.
Are you okay with that?
He's your father, you know.
Are you sure you're okay with that?
My father's already dead, you know!
I'm jealous of the fact yours is alive, and you can do something about it!
Arresting your father can't be your only purpose in life.
Such a sad thing could never be true.
Ayame-san.
You should be more honest with yourself.
Mom! Mom!
Ayame.
Mom! Hang in there!
Mom! You've been stung by a Gibia, haven't you?!
Ayame...
Do it before I become a Gibia,
please.
A... ya... me...
Mom!
Sensui!
Eat this!
Kenroku.
Don't worry about it. The next one's coming.
Heave ho!
This Gibia...
Is it trying to talk?
Ayame-kun! Be careful!
That monster isn't like the rest!
I have an idea.
Ayame-san! I'm coming, too!
I'll be fine. I can do this myself.
I'm going to do what I can.
Come on, over here!
That brat!
He's getting carried away again!
Eat this!
Did we get him?
You did it!
You did it, you did it!
We'll pull back for today.
Cut it out, already!
Aren't you ashamed of attacking survivors to steal their stuff
when the world's like this?!
Keep this up, and you're just an old scumbag!
If you're going to fight anything, fight Gibia, not people!
Ayame... Your mother...?
Mom died!
She was killed by Gibia!
Wha?!
So, why are you here attacking people?!
Your enemy is the Gibia, isn't it?!
Get your revenge!
Ayame...
Even if I arrested you all, there's no prison right now.
I'm not going to kill you, so just get lost!
And never show your face before me again!
Sensui!
Sensui?!
Ayame, are you okay with that?
Hmm? I guess.
Hey, Sensui-kun... Your injury... it's awful.
We need to stop the bus somewhere and rest for two or three days.
He's been under great strain, with all we've been through.
He's even developed a fever.
Sensui.
Oh, there's a food factory nearby.
We might be able to find a little food there.
Let's go there, then.
Lead the way.
Lizards!
Leave this to me.
I defeated them.
Let's all carry Sensui-kun inside.
Help me out.
We'll need to set up a place where he can rest.
Looks like her mother's starting to regain her sanity, too.
