Your fight is over. Once Nanami realizes who she is fighting, she immediately stops.
To your surprise, the small machines also flee without putting up a fight.
Nobody notices, however, that during your chase, the tiny tracking device in the pocket of the jacket Watanabe gave you had fallen on the ground, lost without a trace.
How comes I always run into you, Commandant?
And Karey deary! The little guy you brought...
So it is! I've been hoping for a new friend, and you will do just fine! That's right!
You might be a bit too cute and too loud, but... I'm sure we'll find something good about you!
Hey! Don't you notice that we've just saved you? You were alone and surrounded by all those... maybe-Corrupted.
If we weren't here, you could be in serious danger! Can't you act a bit more serious?!
...Danger?
And stop trying to befriend my CUB! It's an expensive asset from Babylonia!
Wait a minute—wait! I think you got confused!
Huh? You're the one who's confused and not appreciating our help!
Karenina's famous temper reaches a boiling point, and her CUB responds to her rage by hovering overhead and circling over her.
Should we leave this place for now for safety?
Then let's move.
We can't confirm if those small machines will fight back at this point. From what we've seen so far... their actions have been highly unusual.
Not so fast!

You mean how they retreated without a fight? Tsk, those tricky bastards really did annoy me...
We acted hastily because we were worried about Nanami, but... those maybe-Corrupted were acting quite odd indeed.
Compared to the enemies we fought before... it's rare to find mechanoids that still retain their consciousness. And they were behaving so much less hostile than how Corrupted would act...
If they can't be Corrupted... then, maybe they are... Awakened?
That's why I said you got it confused!
No biggy, but Nanami does know a thing or two about them—
If only you would listen! That includes you, Commandant!
I was going to hunt them down, but Nanami's meticulous plan was disrupted by you guys!
Hunt them down? Since when do you do that?
I am Nanami the All-Capable!
...Are you capable of sharing some of your intel on them, then?
If you want to know more about them—
We'll trade! You can ask again after you help Nanami fixes your mistakes!
Simple! Help me catch them all!
