13 SENTINELS: Aegis RIM: ANOTHER STORY - [PART I] (BOOK I)

11.3. Juro's Perspective: SHS Hallway: "These Dreams Were Our Reality...?" (♫)

Iori: "It's real."
Iori: "It actually happened."

Juro:  "?"
Juro:  "..."
Juro: "What do you mean?"
Juro: "What was that dream about again?"

Iori: "You don't... remember?"
Iori:  "You just mentioned it again last week."
Iori:  "You know, the one about the shootout."

Juro:  "Shootout?"

Iori:  "Something about taking refuge in a harbor..."
Iori:  "But you ended up getting shot and captured."
Iori:  "Y/n-chan and I was the only one who managed to escape..."

Juro:  "Oh yeah..."
Juro:  "In order to prevent killer robots from being invented..."
Juro:  "A factory got blown up, right?"

Iori:  "You remember now?"

Juro:  "I didn't know you were into action movies."
Juro:  "That's the plot of Exterminator 2, right?"
Juro:  "Haha, I almost forgot."

Iori frowns a bit and sighs.
Iori:  "So you don't remember after all."

Juro:  "Of course I do!"
Juro:  "That movie is a masterpiece."

Iori:  "I'm not talking about a movie."
Iori:  "This is something that actually happened..."
Iori:  "And it wasn't just a dream, either."

Juro:  "..."

Juro:  "What about this movie?"
Juro:  "Mighty Kaiju Deimos."
Juro:  "Is it real too?"
Juro:  "If the Deimos showed up in real life..."
Juro:  "I dunno, I think it'd be pretty awesome."

Iori:  "Well, lucky you."
Iori:  "You'll be seeing plenty of them soon."

Juro:  "...Huh?"

Iori:  "Deimos is the general name for them..."
Iori:  "But there are many different types."
Iori:  "Some as big as a truck, some bigger than a whole building."

Juro:  "That series is really cool."
Juro:  "It featured all kinds of different kaiju."
Juro:  "If you love movies that much, you should check out this drama series."

Iori:  "What's it about?"

Juro:  "It's an episodic show where the story plays out in different ways each time."
Juro:  "In this one, an alien seeks refuge on Earth."
Juro;  "There's a famous scene where he teleports onto a bridge."
Juro:  "You've never seen it before?"

Iori:  "That was a real event."
Iori:  "It took place on Sumire Bridge in the year 2189."

Juro: "Now that you mention it..."
Juro: "That scene did look like it was shot at Sumire Bridge."

Iori: "Y/n-chan and I were the only ones there."
Iori: "You never made it, Kurabe-kun."

Juro: "No..."
Juro: "That's not true."
Juro: "I was there."
Juro: "You two and I were transmitted together."
Juro says, as if he became a different person.

Realizing what he said, he sets back a bit.
Juro: "Wait, what?"

...
...
...

Juro: "Does that mean UFO Wars is real, too?"

Iori: "There is a UFO."
Iori: "It's beneath us."

Juro: "..."
Juro: "No way."
Juro: "It's just like a movie, isn't it?"
Juro: "We're going to ride that UFO and fight off enemies..."

Iori: "No."
Iori: "That's what the Sentinels are for."

Juro: "Sentinels...?"

Iori: "Giant robots."
Iori: "They were created to defeat the kaiju."

Juro: "..."
Juro: "You're so interesting, Fuyusaka-san."

Iori: "Don't you already know all this?"
Iori: "You're the one who told me about it..."
Iori: "Remember when we were cleaning up the science room?"
Iori: "You said you saw a shootout from the future in your dreams..."

Juro: "Cleaning up the science room..."
Juro: 'Now that I think about it...'

Juro starts to recall what happened between them in the science room.
