Episode 53: Eve's Research

Noel: Now, to teachers lab!

[The group arrive at St. Mont Blanc's]

Aria: So this door leads to Eve's laboratory!

Lingyin: It's a more ordinary door than I expected. I thought it would be more fancy, more fantastical.

Charl: Was she serious at school?

Jeanne: People who pretend to not be serious are often very serious behind the scenes.

Rena: Meru, wait for us!

Noel: We're going in!

[The group enter Eve's lab]

Dejiko: Nya?

Siesta: This is .... As a maid, I must say, this is a room worthy of my skills.

Louise: What's that look on your face?

Siesta: Just imagine! Imagine this room neat, tidy and spotless!

Aria: We're here for research, not for cleaning.

Siesta: Yes, but! Yes, but! Ahh, I want to clean up!

Puchiko: It's an occupational hazard nyu.

Noel: You can tidy up this room.

Siesta: Oh? Are you sure?

Noel: Because the most important research is in a hidden room in the basement.

Aria: That's where we need to go. Lead the way.

Noel: Right.

[The group enter the basement]

Jeanne: This is it.

Louise: It's pitch black in here. Do you want to turn on the light?

Noel: Wait, I'm sure there were some things in here that will be ruined by the lights.

Dejiko: So how do you find what you're looking for nya?

Noel: By using dark vision magic. Leave it to me.

[The group leaves the basement while Noel looks for the research]

Rem: Well, we should have waited and let her do it from the start.

Aria: It's important to know where your things are.

Siesta: Plus, I got to clean up!

Louise: That's not why we're here.....

Charl: Oh, she's coming out!

Noel: I've brought out the journal, which my teacher told me was a summary of her previous research on the Goddess of Destruction.

Rem: Let's have a look. Let's start with the description of the "Discovery of the Goddess of Destruction".

Eve: For a moment, I regretted that I had spent so many years as a researcher.

Eve: If I had not been too much of a researcher, the Goddess of Destruction might not have been discovered and time might have passed more quietly.

Eve: And one day, unbeknown to anyone, the Goddess of Destruction will awaken and the world will return to nothingness. Such a future might have been possible.

Eve: But I've discovered something. In my student, who is like a daughter to me, lies a terrible factor of destruction.

Eve: The Polyal........While studying the mysterious stone, it spoke to me. It said that the one who will bring the world back to nothingness lives in her.

Rem: The Polyal told her? That the stone we use to move between worlds knew about the Goddess of Destruction?

Aria: We've never heard the Polyal speak, even once! What's going on!?

Tsubasa: Rem, keep reading!

Rem: Right.

Eve: The Polyal told me. The world has become a mixed pond, and is heading for destruction. This will ultimately depend on the awakening of the Goddess of Destruction.

Eve: We must stop the awakening by any means necessary.

Eve: At first I thought I didn't have to believe it. But, as Polyal had told me, the world was breaking, in turmoil, losing its order and becoming a mixed pond.

Eve: The Polyal didn't tell me who they were. They are connected to the truth of the world, because the Goddess of Destruction awakens when she knows it.

Eve: What is the truth about the world? How can I stop the end of the world and the tragedy of her becoming the Goddess of Destruction?

Eve: It is my mission as a researcher to seek out and uncover the answers.

Noel: So that's why she suddenly went on a journey.

Kurumi: So, did she find a way to stop the Goddess of Destruction from awakening?

Rem: That's the problem.

Rem: Erm, the next one says 'failure'......

Eve: Even with all my knowledge of magical archaeology, I can't find a way to remove the Goddess of Destruction from her.

Eve: The art of mind transference. It is an application of the magical magic of instantaneous transference, by which the mind and body can be swapped.

Eve: Could I switch Meru and Noel, separate their minds and bodies and erase the Goddess of Destruction? I tried pretending to do it by accident.

Eve: However, although the swap was successful, it did not achieve its goal.

Eve: According to Noel, when she was inside Meru she felt the weight of a terrible darkness which she couldn't bear for very long.

Eve: Without her original mind and body, she wasn't stable. Instability risks hastening the awakening of the Goddess of Destruction.

Eve: Reluctantly, I pushed them down the stairs again and swapped them back.

Eve: If she lives long enough, Noel will be a good performer.

Louise: That's when Meru and Noel swapped places.

Dejiko: Eve did it nya....

Noel: If she could, Teacher even wished she could die inside Meru.

Rem: So, if you can erase the Goddess of Destruction.... Well. But it's impossible, isn't it?

Noel: Yeah....

Rem: There's still more.

Eve: If I could use mind transference to take her place, that would be fine. That's what I thought, but I was naive.

Eve: The monster just eats its way out, only hastening the time of destruction. The mind transference technique was not a decisive factor in stopping it.

Eve: In the worst case, I'll have to kill her and the Goddess of Destruction before she wakes up. It won't be easy.

Eve: I can't just kill her. It is not enough to break the vessel. I have to find a way to kill her completely.

Eve: In order to do this, we need to keep her out of the eyes of Mii and Kei. This will also be a difficult task.

Jeanne: So she couldn't kill her, but she also couldn't let her live, so the plan was to just let them retire naturally from Mii and Kei's sight, while she thought of a way to kill them?

Aria: I imagine even Eve would have been troubled.

Charl: I don't think Mii and Kay will let her off easy.

Tsubasa: Eve seemed to want to tell us something about her fight with Meru.

Louise: I felt it, too. What was it?

Noel: It's....

Charl: Ah!, There are multiple IS-like signals approaching us!

LingyinL This speed, it's Kei! She's already reparied!?

Rem: Let's move to the forest. It should be easier to fight than in a largespace!

Tsubasa: Good idea.

Satoko: We'll beat her again!

[Battle map]

Episode 53 Eve's Research

[Kei and some enemies appear]

Rem: There's a lot of them.... I wonder if she lost her temper after her earlier defeat?

Kei: Danger! Danger! I'm in danger, you're in danger!

Noel: We're not the ones who are in danger!

Jeanne: It's just a waste of time to fight against this number! Let's shake them off!

Aria: Good idea.

Rem: For everyone who isn't confident in their ability, running is your first priority!

Victory: 1. All allies reach the retreat area. 2. Defeat all enemies. Defeat: All allies defeated.

White Angel: Check the target area, follow the IS and Tsubasa for mobility!

Charl: Leave it to me! I won't let anyone miss out!

Lingyin: If it's Kei, we have to do it!

Tsubasa: If Kei is serious, can we intercept her?

Rem: Don't get too heated.

Tsubasa: I know!

[Deploy]

[Charl vs Kei]

Charl: You've come again? You never learn!

Kei: Disruptive old-fashioned model! Destroy!

Charl: Yes. Then why are we running? Because that's a form of victory.

Kei: I'm faster than you! I won't let you get away with!

Charl: If all your going to do is shout about specifications, then find someone else to talk to!

[Tsubasa vs Kei]

Kei: Symphogear! Total elimination!

Tsubasa: What's wrong? What have you been doing?

Kei: It is not necessary to correct the calculation twice! If you think it's dangerous!

Tsubasa: I'm sorry, but I'm not going to go all out. I've got problems to deal with before you do.

Kei: You've disrupted my calculations!

[Lingyin vs Kei]

Lingyin: You seem desperate? What's wrong?

Kei: Calculations are not adding up. Please surrender.

Lingyin: That's not a solution, is it?

Kei: What?

Lingyin: Because you can't calculate 1+1 by removing 1. After all, you don't know how to calculate!

[Defeat Kei]

Kei: Miscalculation! Cannot accurately analyze strength! Restart required! Recalculate!

Satoko: She's acting stranger and stranger.

White Angel: she's a machine. If she keeps doing irregular calculations like this, she's bound to go crazy.

[Kei vanishes]

Tsubasa: This will make our withdrawl easier.

Rem: Yeah, let's hurry!

[Achieve either victory condiditon]

Rem: All right! We're all together! Let's go!

[Stage end]

Aria: It looks like we've escaped unscathed. Where's the Goddess of Destruction surveillance team?

Charl: They aren't here. We'll need to go and call them back. I'll go!

Siesta: I'll prepare a meal.

Lingyin: I'll help too!

Jeanne: One thing I've been wondering, have Mii and Kei ever appeared in Dokoka Town?

Rem: They've never been here before.

Dejiko: If you don't have a Dokoka card, you can't get in nya.

Jeanne: Even with Mii and Kei appearing everywhere?

Aria: Don't you know more about their method of moving around than us?

Jeanne: The "boxes" that we used to move around did not allow us to go anywhere freely.

Jeanne: I think the freedom of movement that Mii and Kei have is an inherent ability.

Kurumi: I think it might have something to do with Polyal, because they've been following us exactly where we are.

Aria: I suppose to only way for us to find out is to ask them directly.

Claude:.....They can never come here. To this town.....

Aria: Huh? Did you say something?

Claude: .......No, it's nothing.

Rem: Right, we're still in the middle of reading Eve's memoirs. Let's see what happens next.

Tsubasa: I thought she said that there was no way to kill the Goddess of Destruction at the moment?

Louise: That and the fact that Eve was trying to teach her something while she was fighting.

Noel: Teacher was looking for any way to avoid killing Meru.

Rena: Did she find a way? I wonder?

Noel: I'm afraid that's.....

Rem: But there's an account in her journal.

Eve: There is no possibility, but could there be a third way?

Eve: It's the path that will lead her to defeat the Goddess of Destruction. I can't tell you how many times I've imagined this path, but it's impossible.....

Eve: Do not attempt to touch the awakened goddess of destruction. Merely approaching her would reduce you to dust.

Eve: Even if it is immaterial. Because that is what it means to bring the world back to nothing.

Aria: How do you fight something that can turn you into a dust just by getting close to you?

Louise: I'm worried about the surveilance team....

Rem: Wait, there's still a little more left.

Eve: But if the awakening has started, I can't abandon her.

Eve: In order to do this, before Meru and Noel's minds and bodies were restored, a trick had to be done.

Eve: A by-product of my research into mind transference. It is a way of synchronising two minds.

Eve: I have made it so Meru and Noel can temporarily share their senses.

Eve: If worse comes to pass, it's the only way to keep her from being isolated.

Eve:........I'm not asking you to forgive me for doing this.

Eve: No matter what happens, we never despair. That's what I've taught them.

Eve: I'm not going to give up either. I will find it, I will fight it, I will survive it.

Rem: That's the end of Eve's notes.

Kurumi: Is this really all there is? After all, it's not just that Eve had nothing to do!

Jeanne: Calm down. There are more than a few clues. There are many options to consider.

Aria:.......So Eve wanted to do something to helpMeru, even if it meant working with Mi.

Rena: But it made the Mii suspicious.

Charl: I wonder what would have happened if Kei's attack had hit Meru?

Rem: If Eve's research is correct, the Goddess of Destruction would have awakened....

Rena: That's strange isn't it? I wonder?

Louise: Meru is safe, but her awakening is different from Eve's description.

Noel: I can't think of any reason at the moment why this might have made a difference.

Aria: Hopefully the surveillance team that were actually observing her will have some clues.

Tsubasa: We have no choice but to wait for their report.
