Hey, Brother?

Why do we have to wear underwear?

According to records,
humans used to cover up their crotch.

Shut up and keep it on, Eve.

Fine.

But why do we have to eat this plant?

We, machine lifeforms,
can function without eating this stuff.

Apparently, humans acquired knowledge
by eating that fruit.

Shut up and eat it.

Fine.

If you say so...

But when I'm done eating this,

will you play with me?

Okay.

Then, I'll do my best.

Stop grunting.

But YoRHa is supposed to be an elite unit.

We're not delivery men, you know?

Since when do we
run errands for Resistance?

In order to operate on Earth,

we need to establish a cooperative
relationship with Resistance.

So, stop complaining.

Okay...

I wouldn't be complaining if the mission
really was to just deliver stuff...

Also...

this is a lot safer than fighting.

Better to live than to die.

Right...

By the way,

people who are close to me
call me "Nines."

Don't you think it's about time?

For what?

For calling me "Nines" too.

Not yet.

Oh, I see...

Report. Approaching destination.

What is this building?

Answer. A commercial building
used by humans in the past.

It's called "Department Store."

A place where daily necessities and
various other kinds of products were sold.

Things that humans used, huh?

What's this?

A stick with something fluffy on top...

Humans used this?

For what?

And this box...

-Is this...
-9S.

We're in the middle of a mission.

Doesn't it interest you?

To know how humans lived?

Wait up! I'm coming!

It must be fun to be able to shop
many different things at once.

That's unnecessary for us.

Not really.

Once we destroy all machine lifeforms,
we, soldiers, won't have anything to do.

When that day comes...

I'm sure we can live in peace.

You know what, let's go shopping together
when the w*r is over.

I'll buy you a T-shirt that suits you.

A T-shirt...

I don't need anything else to wear.

Well, it's not really about clothes
but more about shopping together.

We are forbidden to have emotions.

For now, I'm happy to hear you just be 2B...

Warning.

Several machine lifeforms detected ahead.

MACHINE LIFEFORMS' VILLAGE

Wait, please put away your weapons.

We are not enemies.

We don't want to fight.

Stop... Don't k*ll us...

We surrender...

We are not enemies...

Okay.

Are you Pascal?

Yes, I am.

Lily asked us to deliver this.

Miss Lily?

Are you serious?

Yeah.

They may be machine lifeforms,
but they're not hostile towards us.

We built a relationship with them.

A relationship?

They're better than us when it
comes to work that requires precision.

So, in exchange for their work,
we deliver oil and minerals.

It's kind of a trade relationship.

A trade?

Isn't it dangerous?

At least they did not harm us so far.

They don't want to fight.

They want peace.

If you don't believe me,
go see for yourselves.

I'm sure they'll raise
the white flag and welcome you.

Please allow me to introduce
myself properly. My name is Pascal.

I'm the leader of this village.

A machine lifeform is the leader?

Thank you for the oil.

You arrived 4,782 seconds
earlier than I expected.

I heard you are
in a trade relationship with Resistance.

Yes, Miss Lily is very understanding.

She's very kind to us.

For a machine lifeform,
you speak very fluently.

I love reading,
so my language functions have evolved.

If you can speak that fluently,

it must've been easy
to gain Resistance's trust.

It is only natural that you doubt us.

After all, we've been fighting
for a long time.

However...

all the machine lifeforms
here have fled the w*r.

We have also cut ourselves off
from the machine lifeforms' network.

If you want, you can interact
with the other villagers too.

The only way to understand
each other is communicating.

That's what I think.

Communicate...

Is it serious?

Does it know what our role is?

We can't know for sure what
that machine lifeform's up to.

We could just go back if you want.

Our mission is to
investigate machine lifeforms.

If they're not hostile,

let's take advantage of it.

Come and see...

A dented plate of metal and a bent coil...

-And also stripped screws...
-I want this one...

How much longer are you going
to be in there...? Come out now...

What is this?

Several machine lifeforms
seem to have come together

in order to form a community.

A community like this
is called a "village."

A village of machine lifeforms...

There is no previous record...

What is this...? So cute...

-Hey...
-Hello, you are Androids, right...?

It's my first time seeing Androids...

Warning. Immediate release requested.

If you fail to follow this request,
an attack will be initiated...

Pod, no attack permitted.

Same.

Can you take off your eye patches...?

Sorry, we can't.

Why...?

Because it's a rule.

What is a "rule"...?

It's something like a promise.

Promise...

My sister told me...

You have to keep your promises...

There you are...

Oh, Sister...

I have been looking for you...

We were supposed to go to the woods today...

I'm sorry, I hope she didn't bother you...

Come on, let's go...

Thank you for chatting with me...

See you...

It's a promise...

It thanked us. What is going on?

It's throwing me off.

You can't go there... It's dangerous...

This way...

Do you think there's a village
underground too?

What is this place?

It looks like the head of something.

Why is it in a tree?

Report. Weak signal detected.

Does that mean it's still alive?

However, the signal differs
from a machine lifeform's.

It's not a machine lifeform?

I wonder what it is.

I'm curious.

Let me look into it.

Whether it's a machine or a creature,

I might be able to hack it
since it's emitting electric signals.

Thoughtless contact is dangerous.

Don't worry. I got this.

Researching on such occasions

is a Scanners duty, joy, and hobby.

Hacking!

What's going on in this data space?

I've never seen something like this.

Report.

Forced disconnection from the system.

That really scared me.

I told you so.

But, for a split second,
I managed to get some data.

This seems to be a weapon
created by humans in the past.

By humans?

Yes, thousands of years ago.

But why is it in a place like this?

That's the guardian deity of this village.

Pascal.

A guardian deity?

Yes.

The reason I stopped fighting
was because I met him.

It was when...

I was still on the b*ttlefield.

A blast blew me away and I landed here.

This place was peaceful and calm,

and had a completely different atmosphere.

Sur... vive...

Survive!

Still, I kept fighting.

In the heat of w*r,

I saw my friends fall one by one.

It was a familiar scene I'd seen
countless times for thousands of years.

Yet, at that moment,

for the first time in my life,

I imagined my own death.

I felt fear.

Even though I had lost many friends,

I hadn't known it was sad.

I just went on k*lling without emotions.

And that scared me.

I was scared of myself.

That's why, I...

That's just some kind of glitch or error.

You're right.

I must have broken.

My friends kept on fighting.

When I came to my senses, I was alone.

But now, I have this village.

After leaving the b*ttlefield,

I built this village with other machines
who had stopped fighting as well.

Now, I just look after the kids every day.

Oh, Uncle Pascal.

come and play with us.

Read books to me.

Sure.

When I'm done showing my guests around,
I'll come and play with you.

Yay!

I found this...

This thing is called a "music box."

Music box...

Wind it up like this.

Wow, that's beautiful. Amazing.

Let's show it to everyone.

Give it back...

We are cut off from the
network of machine lifeforms.

However, we have gained a lot.

It's so weird.

Machine lifeforms are
weapons created for w*r.

They're designed to k*ll us.

It said many of its friends died.

But the same goes for us.

Tens of thousands of Androids
have been k*lled by them.

And yet, they claim
to have stopped fighting.

That's too selfish of them.

Way too selfish.

And why do they build a community
although they obtained freedom

after cutting themselves off
from their network?

It doesn't make sense.

Survival rate for individuals is low.

For long-term and stable activity,

reliance on each other is required.

Even machine lifeforms
can't survive alone.

Can't survive alone...

What was that?

9S?

It's nothing.

So, in a nutshell...

does it mean you need me too, 2B?

That was just a joke. Sorry!

It would be nice if it were true, though...

We should probably go back.

Pod, mark the current location on the map.

And save it.

Understood.

Our mission is accomplished. Why now?

Because when the w*r is over...

we're coming back here to buy T-shirts.

Okay!

When the w*r is over.

I'm sure it won't be long.

Stop it!

Don't fight.

What are you doing?

What the hell?

It's mine...

Give it to us...

Share your toys.

Let's listen to it all together, okay?

No, I want it...

Everyone owns something.

Only I don't...

I speak strangely...

They exclude me...

Why would they exclude you?

That's not true.

Liar...

-That's enough, nerd.
-You are a jerk.

Let go...

Don't use violence. Let's not fight.

You pushed me.

I hate you all...

They chose not to fight,
but still quarrel.

A trouble that arises
with high probability in a community.

Disputes happen as a result of conflicting
aims or interests of individuals.

After all, when they were weapons,
their only aim was to fight.

You pushed me, b*stard.

The quarrel is escalating.

We have to stop it.

9...

Comm Officer 21O to 9S.

Periodic communication.

9S, please answer.

This is 9S.

Everything is... okay.

Hey, Brother.

Why are you reading?

Because knowledge enriches men.

You could just send the data.

You need to read it yourself

in order to let it affect you.

I see.

You should read more books too.

I'll pass.

I have you, Brother.

Eve.

You need to start calling me "Bro."

Why all of a sudden, Brother...

Okay, Bro.

Good boy.

INTRODUCING THE MULTIPLE ENDINGS OF
THE GAME NierR:AUTOMATA.

NieR:AUTOMATA PUPPET SHOW
"L3 + R3"

Hi, everyone.

I'm an Android that fights for mankind
called YoRHa No. 9 Type S, aka 9S.

And I'm YoRHa No. 2 Type B, aka 2B.

Actually, we YoRHa members
have a hidden function.

I'll tell you in secret.

You know what
I'm talking about, right, 2B?

I'll give you a hint. It's that function
that can cause great trouble if used.

Do you mean...?

Using this function
will make you feel a little fresher.

Making the heat-dissipating skirt
disappear...

Can I join you?

Okay, full power!
