AST member A:
Aaaaah!

This is No.25. I need to---
22 does not to transmission---
Medic! I need your help!
---bzzz.

Kusakabe:
What's going on!
How is this happening!

--- OP ---

Narration:
Hot springs, were more than the wells from the central of the Earth...
They have enchanted humans for ages.
People flock from all over to soak their aching bodies in nature's golden hot baths.
Healing, relaxing, and vitalizing.
No one...can resist their charms.

---

Kotori:
Hot springs?

Shido:
Yeah, Tohka and the others decided they wanted to check it out sometime today.

Kotori:
Oh, like us, that's OK.
It sounds kind of fun actually.
And mean while we want Spirits to make discover, and think for themselves, so I'll make the arrangements.
Hmm...besides, we want them happy, right?
More like some anger Spirit.

Shido:
Right.

Kotori:
So, where are you going?

Shido:
I was thinking Tengu Paradise if it's cool with.

Kyouhei:
Yes! That's a great one!
Hey, listen. You should join them!
Give yourself a break.
I can take care of everything for you here?

Kotori:
Mmm...you must think I'm crazy?

Kyouhei:
I absolutely do not!
I think you're working too hard, we can't function if our commander were exhausted!
Do, do us all a favor?
Go to the hot springs...?

Kotori:
...What are you really after?

Kyouhei:
I have no idea what you mean.
I have no desire to install several surveillance cameras there!
Mm hmm...would someone like me actually follow hot springs with lenses and so I could stare every inter-sight, her tight young body, might be the question? Especially, with the back sight...
...er?
No! No, not eternal camp! Please, have mercy! Please, forgive me commander! Anywhere but there, Please!

Kotori:
Listen up, Kannaduki. When you get to the camp, you'd start digging a hole, and not stop the entire day.

Kyouhei:
?

Kotori:
And, after that. You'll fill the hole back up, and repeat...for a whole week.

Kyouhei:
Ahh...ah...Wahoo!

Kotori:
But, hot springs with my big brother...hmm.

---

Lieutenant Commander:
We've had words from head quarters, it's come to my attention that supplementary personnel who currently being deployed from DEM.
I don't like you and your platoon, aren't managed to figure out the way to use magic correctly.
Now, that I think for a moment, you would lose civilian transfers...far from it.
But, there's nothing wrong to observing the technique.
Right?

Kusakabe:
Roger that, sir!

---

Kusakabe:
UAAAARRGHHH!

AST member A:
Urm, excuse me, captain?

Kusakabe:
WHAT IS IT?!

AST member A:
I wonder to ask about the company trip this week end...?

Kusakabe:
Oh! You mean that 13 secret hot springs tour?
With all you can eat delicacies from different regions?

AST member A:
Yeah, about that...

Kusakabe:
Uh-huh! Uh-huh?!

AST member A:
So, you know how more Spirits have been turning up lately...?
Well, our alert levels...have increased a tiny bit...

Kusakabe:
What...Are...You...Saying...?

AST member A:
Er...well! I'm sorry!
But the trip has been canceled!

Kusakabe:
SCREW YOU SPIRITS!!!

AST member A:
No, hold on!
Please, let me finish.

Kusakabe:
Huh?!

AST member A:
I know it won't replace the trip, but, the troops and I were thinking.
Why don't we send you to Tengu Paradise hot springs?!
You deserve some kind of break!
I think a day every relaxation is exactly what you need right now.
It's all way out saying thanks for everything!
Plus, it's already handled, so you have to go!

Kusakabe:
Ahh...!
Thank you! Very nice work!
I think you just earned a double rank position!

AST member A:
'Kay, but...I'm not dead, hee hee...

Kusakabe:
(Ahh....I can't wait to go...! I love the hot springs...! Best day ever!)

---

AST member A:
Listen up!
The Captain has accepted our invitation!

AST members:
Yeah!
Hot springs and bath!

Origami:
...I do not approve.

AST members:
Huh?

Origami:
This is the time you could be using to training, add power to the team.

AST member B:
One day...?

Origami:
Eh...?
Ah...!
...Hello, Shido.

Shido:
Hey, what's up?
Er, can I return the book I borrowed from you some time tomorrow?

Origami:
Of course. That's fine.
But, why?

Shido:
Er, something...happen...?

Tohka:
Come on! Shido, let's go!
Hot Springs Paradise is waiting!

Shido:
Oh, hey! You have to stop pulling my shirt!
Sorry Origami, I'll back to you later.

AST members:
Whoa! She's mad!

---

Yoshino:
Ahh!

Tohka:
Ohhh~!
Oh, wow! This is so neat!

Shido:
Hey, that's right.
I forgot this is the first car ride for you two.
Heh, it's pretty cool, isn't it?
Just be careful not to get car sick.

Tohka:
Oh?
Aww...Pat me too!

Shido:
Er...
...I don't think I can reach that far!

Tohka:
It's not fair for you to touch her like that, and not me...!

Shido:
Come on. You are the one who said you want to sit in front seat.

Tohka:
Oh...yeah.

Yoshinon:
Look, Shido. I'm in front of you!
Pat me, too.

Tohka:
Ah?!

Shido:
Nn? Okay.
Who's a cute rabbit?

Tohka:
Mmm~!

Yoshino:
Shido, what's that spinning thing?

Shido:
Hm?
Oh, that? That's a barber pole.

Yoshinon:
Neat, what about that?

Shido:
I think it's one of the laundry place...

Tohka:
NOBODY HOLD ON THAT! AAAAAGGH!

---

AST member A:
Okay, if you say so, I never dreamed we would be using the deployment train to take a day trip...

Kusakabe:
Let's not lose track here!
Out goal is confirming operation of the vehicle.
We are making a periodic check of the route we don't normally use, it's not for fun.
So, stop messing around!
And come to order, troops!

AST members:
(She's having fun...)
(She's messing around...)
(She doesn't come to order...)

Origami:
Agreed. The Captain's right.
If we're going to the hot springs.
We need to be well prepared.
We must do acumen this rare outing.

AST members:
(Hot springs...?)
(Hot springs...?)
(Hot springs...?)
...Ah!

Kusakabe:
Ugh...What the hell was that?!

AST member A:
I'll check!
...What is going on out here?!
...Oh...really? ...Okay.
The tunnel caved in, so there's emergency shut down!
They don't know yet, when the service will be restored!

Kusakabe:
Urg...!
Nothing we can do about it now!
Troops!

AST members:
Ma'am!

Kusakabe:
They leave us no choice but march to our location!
Forward!

AST members:
Roger!

---

Tohka:
...Will you please forgive me?

Shido:
Um...

Yoshinon:
Ha ha ha ha!
That was so cool, Tohka!
Your rocky turned a car just by using mmmmm....!

Tohka:
Mmm...

Shido:
Cheer up.
It's gonna be okay.

Tohka:
Does that mean you aren't mad anymore...?

Shido:
Hmm. No, I'm not mad at all.

---

Mikimoto:
Several unknowns are turning up on the radar.

Kawagoe:
Confirmation needed.

Mikimoto:
They have been matched.
It's the AST.

Shinzaki:
The AST?
What are they doing here?

Nakatsugawa:
That's strange.
Maybe because of the Spirit?

Minowa:
I highly doubted.
They aren't even able to detect Spirit wave from Tohka and the others right now.

Kawagoe:
Don't worry abut why.
Any contact we make now could interfere our plan.
Sound emergency code.

Nakatsugawa:
We should wait.
The Commander's out of business.
And, out Second Commander is busy for his punishment.

Mikimoto:
Enough!
According article 22 clause 3, if there's emergency, we have the right to transfer command!
If at least five clue members agree, we concern the code.

Kawagoe:
Do hands on sounding a code!
...Confirm! I "Bad Marriage" Kawagoe, temporary accept the role of Deputy Commander!
(Yes! Deputy Commander...! I like the sound of that...)

Mikimoto:
Activate the code!
Form the absolute defense line!
And prepare to attack!
Brock the advance of the AST!

Everyone(other than Kawagoe):
Roger!

---

Kusakabe:
Yup, I was right.
This is much different from the map.

Origami:
That tree doesn't look familiar.

AST member B:
Captain! There's a dead end up ahead!

AST member C:
The right flank is also a dead end!

AST member D:
There is shopping arcade 500 meters straight ahead of us!

AST member A:
Behind us, the street has been destroyed!

Kusakabe:
We can't help that.
Hey, Origami.

Origami:
Ma'am.

Kusakabe:
Keep watch from up above.

Origami:
Roger that.
...Checking.
There is no shopping arcade over to the left.
But, I do see a side road short distance ahead.
Looks like it connected to the main road after about quarter of a mile.

Kusakabe:
That'll work.
Troops! Forward, march!

---

Shido:
...Huh?

Kotori:
Eww...

Shido:
Kotori?!
What are you doing here?!

Tohka:
Hi! It's so good to see you!

Yoshino:
Hello. Is there something wrong?

Kotori:
Er, no, not at all.
I was just...I wanted to make sure that Shido was doing his job.

Shido:
What? You can do all that from the ship.
In real, you just wanna come with us to hot springs, right?

Kotori:
Urk! Don't be ridiculous!

Shido:
Look, it's OK.
Why don't we go together?
It'll be lot of fun!

Kotori:
Well, I guess if you insist...Let's go!
Aww...urg!
...What in the world is going on?!
So, if you need me things, just let me know, okay?

Shido:
Thanks, I guess, but what about you?

Kotori:
I said I'm fine! Gah!
I'll catch up with you later!

Shido:
Okay...

Kotori:
Oh, man...why did something happen now?

---

Kusakabe:
This is starting to get ridiculous!

Origami:
There is definitely a puff plot here...

AST member B:
No reaction here! Vibration and infrared center failed.

AST member C:
No reaction for me acoustic sensor either.
And, no human's detected within five-hundred meters.

AST member D:
The walls around here are minimum a fifty centimeter spec.
And, have reinforced by rebar.

Kusakabe:
Ugggggh!
Like, that'll stop me?!
...Bring it here.

Origami:
Right.

Kusakabe:
Troops, attention please.

AST members:
Ma'am.

Kusakabe:
About face!

AST members:
Forward, march!

Kusakabe:
(Click, click)

AST members:
Aw, what just happened to you?

Kusakabe:
Uh-oh, what's that?
Did I do something just now?

Origami:
No, you did nothing.
The wall exploded all by itself.

Kusakabe:
Oh no, that's so scary.

---

Kotori:
Crap! It figures...looks like the dumb AST decided to meddle again.
...Switch to date town type 2 and combat mode!
And, use whatever firearms if you feel they're necessary!

Mikimoto:
Commander? What are you doing out there?

Kotori:
The sight inspection.
Don't worry about me. Confirm your orders.

Mikimoto:
R-right.
Transition to date town type 2, in combat mode...eliminating the AST.

---

AST member B:
Ugh...!
What is this?!

AST member C:
Ow! ow! ow!

AST member:
Gross!
What happened?!
It's so cold!

Origami:
Move carefully.
This doesn't feel right.

Kusakabe:
Look alive, ladies!
And, hurry!

AST member D:
Huh!...er? Aghaaa!

Mikimoto:
The commander is watching!
Do whatever it takes to stop them!

Ratatoskr clue:
Roger!

AST member C:
Uwahh!

Kusakabe:
What's this?

Origami:
A mobility inhibition system.
It spell a special liquid on the ground to lower friction coefficient to below 0.01, meant to prevent to progression of the target.

Kusakabe:
Huh, what about one over there?

Origami:
Probably some kind of hypnotic gas.
Helpful for when n enemy once to stop us without killing us.

Kusakabe:
Well played whoever you are...
Listen up! Use the pressure equipment!
Attack immediately!

AST member A:
Aaaaah!

Kusakabe:
Raaaah!

---

Kotori:
Ggggnnhh!

---

Shido:
Whooah!

Yoshinon:
Wow!

Yoshino:
Wha---where's Yoshinon...!
Nn...uww...Uwahhh!

Shido:
Hey! It's gonna be alright!

Reine:
You're not helping.
The only method it's going to calm her down right now is finding Yoshinon.

Shido:
Huh?!

Yoshino:
Waaah!

Shido:
Look, you and Yoshinon are going to be together again very soon.

Yoshino:
Egh...

Tohka:
Shido! Please be careful!

---

Minowa:
Target in city barrier...will break in through the labyrinth!
The target is rapidly approaching! Look out!

Mikimoto:
Type 2 combat mode won't work to stop them!
So, what's our next tactic?

Kotori:
Do we know for enemy's put up a territory yet?

Natatsugawa:
That has been confirmed, yes.

Kotori:
Alright. Well, Then this next move won't kill them.
You have permission to use destroy mode!

Mikimoto:
Roger that!
Permission to fire free on date town!
All weapons are authorized!
Do what ever! You must stop the AST!

---

AST members:
Ow! ow! ow!

AST member D:
Haaaarnnn?!

AST member E:
Uaaaaah?!

Kusakabe:
(I'm exausted...plus, I'm covered with sweat!
I'm supposed to be bathing in the hot springs by now...
How the hell is this happen?!
Huh, that's right...
The Lieutenant Commander stresses me out.
The troops are wishing to go to hot springs while they're still young!
It's all working no play!)
I'm gonna go there today, even if it kills things!
They picnicked, do whatever they want! We won't retaliate?!
Don't spook kid! A piece of junk! Pathetic!
The AST will not be defeated!
Ugh...Waaahh!
You should do yourself the favor in risk, kids!
....Hee, Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Alright, ladies. Give 'em hell!
Just because it's a work day doesn't mean we can't have a little fun!
So, go ahead!
Annihilate! Floor 'em! Eradicate! Eliminate! Kill 'em! Throw 'em into the piece of trash!
If any you have bullets left when this is over, then I'll use it to shoot down your throat! Give them all!
Fun, isn't it?!
I can't hear you!
Had me already! Come on...

Shido:
What is happening...?
Who fighting Spirits, and where?
I don't get it...

Kusakabe:
Always trying to pick fights with me, this is what you wanted, you swine!
You think it's easy to do all this against to the Spirits?
Well, why don't you try it?!
If you're lucky, you might even be left the bone into your pathetic body!
You're not gonna stay young forever!
My bust and my ass over here to keep my still young despite to stress and lack of sleeping cause!
Never underestimate a woman under peak!
I'm only twenty-seven, damn it!

Shido:
What is up to that voice...?
Freakin' creepy...

AST member B:
Look out, you guys!
I can't move!

AST member C:
Disarm the territory!
Or, you froze into them!

AST member B:
I got, thanks!
...hm?

AST member C:
Are you okay?

AST member D:
She's alright. Just the scratches...er?

Shido:
Yoshinon! Here you are...huh?!

Kotori:
Stop!
Do you hear me? Stop the attack!

Origami:
Shido! No!

Shinzaki:
Radio interference. Analyzing ground zero.
Here's the video.

Shido:
Er...?

Tohka:
You're safe now.
How are you feeling?

Shido:
I'm good. Thank you.

AST member B:
What is that?

AST member C:
Do you think it could be Princess?

AST member D:
Hey, Captain. Princess showed up.
Now what?
...She probably can't hear us.
Hmm?

Origami:
I've got this!

AST member C:
But...but, your attack power...

Origami:
I don't care!
I'll make it work!
...!

AST member C:
We're gonna live...
So, er...Where did Princess come from, anyway?

AST member D:
Do you think it means that everything that happen today was because of the Spirits?

AST member B:
I have no idea they could do all this.
We can never that our guard down...

---

Kusakabe:
Haaaah...Yes! I feel so much better!

AST members:
Freakish! She's so weird...

---

Shido:
Ahh! Yes, we finally made it, huh?

Yoshinon:
We do! Today's show will do---

Yoshino:
Ah!

Kusakabe:
It's been quite a journey, hasn't it?
We can finally let loose!
Alright, let's face!
And, forward, jump!

AST members:
Wheehoo!

Origami:
Huh...did Shido in? ...eh?

---

Kotori:
Gonna be tough to relax like that.

Kyouhei:
Commander, is now a good time?

Kotori:
Kannaduki? Where did you come from?

Kyouhei:
Here. I was mining my own business and digging a hole as ordered, then suddenly...!
I dug up a hot spring!

---

Tohka:
How is it? Does it good?
Do you feel less tired now?
It's supposed to relax on muscles, too.

Shido:
Er...

Yoshino:
We're sorry about today...

Yoshinon:
Yeah...It was all by my fault you have to deal with that crazy stuff.

Shido:
Hey, did you guys do this on purpose?

Kotori:
Maybe, I will say that I'm glad you recharging.
I've got a lot of work for you to do later.

Shido:
Gotya...
What a great night.
