Aaah... Look at all that greenery...
Traveling sure is nice...
President Aruto...
Today's objective was not sightseeing-
it was to perform workplace inspection on our company's Bus Guide Humagear, Anna.
My name is Anna.
Following our motto of enriching your journey with local history, I will be guiding you for the day.
Coming soon into view are the remaining scars of that unfortunate event from twelve years ago;
Daybreak Town.
It was originally intended by the government and various tech companies such as Hiden...
...as a city housing experimental Humagear operations.
The city featured many projects intended to help manage Humagears such as a Communications Satellite...
12 Years Ago
...among many other developments.
Or so it did, until the explosion incident rocked the area.
The nuclear reactors powering the research facilities exploded in rapid succession-
-resulting in an unprecedented catastrophe that annihilated the experimental city.
The catastrophe came to be known as "Daybreak".
Despite 12 years passing, access to the area beyond this point remains heavily regulated.
Question here!
What was the cause of the factory explosion?
The cause was said to be a result of a maintenance misstep.
But, it wasn't just some explosion.
What really happened...
...was a mass slaughter at the hands of Humagears.
I know something～
The culprit of the incident is this guy's dad!
They say his dad was in charge of the factory that exploded!
Cut it out!
Yeah, yeah! The explosion was all this guy's dad's fault.

You okay?
Wait!
It flew off!?
If it isn't our Hiden President again.
Hello.
I've had enough...
Why'd this happen to me...?
According to our company's employee registry,
This is Sakurai Gou-san. His father, Sakurai Satoshi-san, passed away in the explosion 12 years ago.
All I keep hearing is that it was my dad's misstep that caused Daybreak.
I hear it from all kinds of people.
"Your dad did this.", they say.
"It's your dad's fault.", they say.
Wrong.
It isn't your dad's fault.
The culprits behind Daybreak are those damn killing machines...
...the Humagears.
The Humagears went berserk and blew up the factory.
No such records exis-
That's because you lot at Hiden are concealing the truth!
Searching Database.
I have determined that the explosion was the result of a maintenance error.
That is accurate to history.
It's "accurate" sure, but is it really the truth?
I...want to know what really happened.
You wanna know that badly?
...So do I.
When Daybreak occurred, why was it that one of our factories exploded?
Why would you ask such a thing?
I'm the one asking the questions here.
I cannot recall anything.
That's a lie. You're hiding something.
Vice-President Fukuzoe.
Why does no record of a Humagear insurrection 12 years ago exist at Hiden?
It is possible the matter was intentionally concealed.
I cannot recall anything.
That's a lie! You definitely know something!
Sir!
There are times when some truths are best hidden to protect the interests of the company.
That's what it means to run a company!
This is a presidential order.
What happened at that factory 12 years ago?
...I cannot recall anything.
Imparting accurate local history is a bus guide's job.
Confirmation and documentation of the truth is crucial.
Shall we go then?
Once more, to Daybreak Town.
Are you certain?
I am the president after all!
Can't go ignoring a troubled employee right?
Let's go.
Where do you plan on going?
You haven't been authorized to pass this point.
He's like me.
His life's all over the place for no good reason thanks to Daybreak...
Now he's looking for the truth.
No point trying to stop you huh.
What's this for?
Just letting you know, this Progrise Key has dangerous capabilities.
Definitely not something you could use.
Then why give it to me? Your mouth's not matching your actions.
Just don't forget what your job is.
Sorry, today's my day off.
Please determine the optimal countermeasure against flying capabilities.
Construction complete.
Will we really find anything by going there?
Who knows.
But, we won't know until we've gone ourselves.
I-i-intruders... Eliminate...
So they are trying to hide something.
Kill... humans.
You okay?
The President!?
Come here to keep something under wraps you don't want us seeing?
No, I'm also looking for the truth!
You mustn't! Your identity will be exposed!
You looking to die!? Get lost!
That belt...!
I swear as the President of Hiden;
I'm not here to cover up anything.
Humagears are the machines we've dreamed of...
...and I will prove it!

This is the Humagear Production Factory #1, Factory Manager: Sakurai Satoshi.
Dad...
All Humagears within the factory have gone berserk.
At this rate... the factory will explode!
All factory workers have evacuated.

Humanity... This is a divine crusade.
By the will of metsuboujinrai.net
Metsubou...Jinrai.
I will destroy this city, and slaughter all humans.
Not on my watch.
Locking down all gates.
I've trapped the Humagears.
As Factory Manager, I take full responsibility of the Humagears and will dispose of every single one!

Anna!
Anna...?
What... just happened?
Wow, that was harsh.
We can't have people learning of our Ark's existence.
According to an interview with Hiden Intelligence yesterday,
a new revelation has come to light regarding the origin of the Daybreak incident 12 years go.
According to the interview, the cause of the Humagear Factory's explosion was not due to a maintenance error.
Rather, it was due to the actions of metsuboujinrai.net
Video evidence has been obtained...
Sorry.
I've said a lot of crappy things.
Additionally, the video evidence featured factory manager Sakurai Satoshi-san.
In order to minimize further causalities caused by the cyber-terror attack, he fought off the berserk Humagears on his own.
Your dad was amazing.
Let's go.
Appreciate that swearing not to hide anything wasn't just lies.
Was only possible thanks to you not destroying Anna.
I...
...owe you one!
It's Aruto oooooor nothing!
That just then was a play between the phrase "I owe you one"...
恩に着る[on-ni-KIRU] & 服を着る[fuku-wo-KIRU]
"I owe you one"
"to put on clothes"
...and the action of "putting on clothes", resulting in "on ni kiru".
Look I'm begging you, stop explaining my gags!
