Synopsis

ZAIA Enterprise Japan has embarked on their acquisition of Hiden Intelligence! Furthermore, ZAIA's president, Gai Amatsu, introduces a surprising new condition to Aruto. Gai introduces the world to the "ZAIASpec" device, which gives humans the ability to think on par with Hiden Intelligence's own Humagears and ZAIA's own technology! The goal is to compete against each other in order to decide which technological implementation is better for society as a whole. And so, the "5th Workplace Competition" has now begun! If Hiden Intelligence wins, then they will be able to withdraw from ZAIA's acquisition! But just where is this game headed towards...?!
