Synopsis
Then the world was saved. But my friend, your battle isn't over yet. A world that has escaped the "campaign" with the natural enemies of all living creatures = "extreme creatures" that have arisen in an extreme environment that is incompatible with humankind. Wakamatsu Gale, a former boy pilot who is a hero of humankind, retired easily after the war and was a chef with a cafeteria at the Human Reconstruction Headquarters. He has an insurmountable wound and still smiles, but the world doesn't leave him alone. A new species of "extreme organisms" that is coming back. Still ponky pilot candidates showing new talent. And above all, a lovable person who laughs at his retirement and keeps fighting at the forefront. All situations are waiting for his return. When the wounded hero still stands up, all the battle situation is overturned-- !? The continuation of the legend begins.
