The Japanese get off on the weirdest things, such a downer.
Though I did expect it when MC started talking about how peaceful it was...
What I really want to know though is, how many are they and are they replenishing their numbers somehow?
How are they holding on like this. What is the enemy doing sending small groups to attack?
Also why does it seem like MC was talking to someone from the enemy side to modify the core thingy. Is this all just to put pressure on them to evolve the core or some shit? Is MC complicit in some grand scheme?
