Blame!
Nobody knows...
when the world became this way.
One day,
the contagion suddenly started...
and humans lost the power
to connect with the city.
After that,
the city expanded on its own...
and humans were seen as
illegal residents... and exterminated.
It all happened...
long before I was born.
Wait.
This way.
Be careful.
Yeah. Sorry.
You're too jumpy.
We can hear you.
We might've just been lucky up until now.
- Don't let your guard down.
- But...
Zuru's right, you know.
I wonder if this is really the right path.
It is a bit different from the map.
It's an old map. The area must
have been rebuilt by the Builders.
Do you really think we'll be okay
on our own?
Let's go back.
Why the heck would we go back
when we've come this far?
It should be just beyond this passage.
I think.
Zuru, up there.
The exit.
Tae!
Are you okay? Tae?
Thanks, Fusata.
Are you okay, Tae?
I'm sorry, Zuru. The spare battery.
We'll be in trouble when we get back.
It's just one battery.
Everyone'll be thrilled if we come back
with some sludge. Come on.
Zuru.
Zuru, what are you doing? Hurry.
A Builder!
Don't worry.
These guys don't pay
any attention to humans.
Okay, let's go. We're almost there.
Let's go, Tae.
Whoa, this is...
I've never seen a place so big.
A watchtower!
That's why the grown-ups
told us not to come here.
Well, that's it. Let's go home.
Make sure the watchtower doesn't see us.
And how are we supposed to
get to the hunting grounds
while avoiding that huge thing?
Let's take another route.
We'll go through here.
It's a big detour.
There's tons of obstacles in the way.
Well, it can't be helped. Come on.
If the Safeguard appeared
in a place like this...
We've been trained as
Electro-Fishers, too, you know.
Sutezo said that Zuru's already as skilled
as a full-fledged Electro-Fisher.
But we took this gear without permission.
Pops is definitely gonna be mad.
Zuru, I'm sorry.
What? Tae?
You said it was for my sister's sake,
right?
For us to go out hunting alone like this.
It's not just for Ito.
After all, there's almost nothing
left to eat in the village.
Thanks, Zuru.
We did it.
Look, over there.
Look at all the bugs!
It's the sludge pipes!
Wait!
It's no good.
But it's such a thick pipe.
Zuru.
The watchtower?
The Safeguard!
Exterminators!
Yaichi! Above you!
Retreat!
Run!
Everyone, stay calm!
Remember our training, lure them in
then shoot!
Did you hear that, Shizu? Lure them to me!
I can't get them off me!
Shizu!
Damn it!
Shiro! Everyone!
Tae!
Tae!
Zuru!
More!
Zuru!
Are you okay?
Zuru!
Yeah, this is no...
Wait, Fusata.
It stopped.
Take off your headgear.
I want to see your eyes.
- Hey.
- Zuru.
Zuru!
We're still in the watchtower's view!
Why?
The watchtower didn't react
even when she took her helmettals off?
Hey! Tae!
Are there...
any humans here
with the Net Terminal Gene?
Net Termi...?
What?
You saved us... so I wish we could
do something to help you in return...
but we don't know what it is
you're talking about.
Wait. One of the grown-ups
might know something.
But before that, please, tell us...
what are you?
I'm Killy.
A human.
Our village is inside
the perimeter up ahead.
We'll be fine once we get back there.
Perimeter.
That's the one place
the Safeguard can't enter.
We don't know why, though.
See, that's the perimeter up ahead.
Stop! Zuru, get away from him!
Sutezo, wait!
Why are you all showing your faces?
You'll be spotted by the watchtower!
That's because
when we're with him, it's okay.
Who is this guy?
He's human!
Human?
He can't be.
Human, you say?
Isn't he a Safeguard?
I've heard there are Safeguards
that look just like humans.
Right, Pops.
Just three of you, huh?
I'm sorry. The Exterminators...
That's why we told you, Zuru,
you guys can't do it on your own!
But then you went and took that gear
without our permission anyway.
At any rate,
it's dangerous to stay out here.
Hurry and get inside the perimeter.
Pops!
So, he's not a Safeguard.
Yeah.
Are you a traveler?
Where did you come from?
Below...
6,000...
levels.
6,000?
There's no way.
We'll talk more inside.
Come on.
Pops!
That's our village.
At the most, there were about
But now there are only about 150.
If you're a traveler, we welcome you.
That's our custom.
Although you're a first
for our generation.
The first person we've welcomed
into our village from the outside.
We Electro-Fishers are descended
who apparently wandered
through the city like you.
It's said that they found this place
about 300 years ago.
So, we've lived inside the perimeter
ever since.
So, it's rare for us
to meet any strangers.
In the city,
there must be other humans
managing to survive.
But we have no idea how many there are
or where to find them.
We don't know anything.
from a traveler would be precious.
Pops, have you ever met a human?
No. I've only found the remains
Pops.
Pops and the others are back!
Hey! The kids are with him!
Hey! The kids are back!
What's that?
Pops and Sutezo brought the kids back!
How many kids? All of them?
I'm not exactly sure.
And there's someone strange with them.
What do you mean, someone strange?
Well...
Welcome back, Pops.
Pops.
Just you guys?
Where are the other three?
And their gear? Did you leave that, too?
What about the helmettals? Weren't you at
least able to bring the helmettals back?
Damn it.
You know we don't have the tech
to make that stuff anymore.
What about food?
It was all dried up.
It's enough that
three of them came back alive.
Oh, well, in another month,
we'll all starve anyway.
Hey, Pops.
Who's that?
He's a traveler.
He's a traveler?
other humans out there.
Can we trust him?
If he's a traveler, we'll welcome him.
But we don't have anything to feed him.
He's not a Safeguard, is he?
A Safeguard wouldn't be able
to get in here.
Stay back, honey.
No!
There's something drawn on it.
A bucket of water?
This is pretty good.
It must be really nutritious.
Give me some.
Hey, let me have some.
- This is great!
- This'll give you energy.
Pops, Sutezo.
Pops.
Tae.
Here.
This much?
There's some for your sister.
Thank you.
Zuru, Fusata.
I'm glad you're back.
But don't do anything
like that again, okay?
I'm sorry.
I'm sure you already know,
but people looked
for a new hunting ground before
and they were all killed by the Safeguard.
The group that went east
was taken out completely.
That's why these guys
thought they had
to do something for the village.
Zuru.
When you've put the gear back,
come to my room.
Okay.
- Sutezo, let's go.
- Right.
You come, too, please.
I'd like to speak with you.
Your name was Killy, right?
