Episodes 2
Because Gunvarrel is Waiting
Kaito Yashio and his friend Akiho Senomiya are the remaining members of their school's Robotics Club. After Akiho hands in a budget request to the staff room, both she and Kaito, who spends his time playing games on his PokeCon device, visit an old hangar containing a large robot the Robotics Club has been working on since its foundation, Gunvarrel, based on a popular robot anime whose final episode was never aired. The next day, the vice-principal agrees to give the Robotics Club their proposed budget on the condition that they win a robot tournament taking place in two week's time, with the club to be disbanded should they lose. As Kaito and Akiho contemplate if they can pull off such a feat, a mysterious girl is seen making a report.

Becoming curious about the girl she saw the other day, Kaito hears from Junna about various sightings of the girl. As Akiho and Subaru deal with an interview for the Robo-One tournament, Kaito and Junna go to the beach, where they encounter the cadaver of a beached whale. Hearing that Junna has retired from the karate club, Kaito suggests she pay a visit to the Robotics Club. Later that night, Kaito hears the strange voice again, leading him to an abandoned room in school, where he finally encounters the girl through his PokeCon. This AI, named Airi, reveals herself to be an Iru-O app that had attempted to contact Kaito over the past 8 years. She then shows Kaito a hidden file, containing a log by one Kou Kimijima, predicting gigantic solar flares would occur on certain years. As Kaito ponders how many of those predictions turned out to be accurate, Mizuka has a strange reaction where she hears Kaito mention Kimijima's name.
