Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Masou Kishin II - Revelation of Evil God - Yanglong Route

Script Translation by Joekage, Compiled/Edited slightly for better readability by Angelwingzero Original translation: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/647928-super-robot-taisen-og-saga-masou-kishin-ii-revelation-of/faqs/75024 Editor Note: Joekage's original translation was great, though some of it wasn't exactly natural when read in English. This page has a bit of massaging to make the dialogue sound more natural, though not changing any of the main story content. It’s not perfect but I gave it my best shot. Enjoy! 

The Holy Langran kingdom
North east mountain area, historic ruins

#Scene 1#

Masaki: Shu. What are you intending to do? Get out of there!

Shuu: Sorry, but I can't accept that request.

Tyutti: Don't you understand? Inside this underground is the temple of Volkruss!

Saphine: Shuu-sama already acknowledged that thing.

Masaki: Isn't the Church of Volkruss your enemy!?

Shuu: Well, it is correct to say they are a troublesome group rather than an enemy.

Yanglong: Then, I suppose you don't have to give us a hand. But don't interfere with us.

Shuu: I'm different from you. I have a lot of work to do.

Masaki: What... As I thought we are talking on different wavelengths.

Shuu: You have my sympathy at that point.

Masaki: Then... I'll use force!! 

    [Cybuster attacks Granzon]

Shuu: ...Masaki. You’ve lost your touch a bit.

Masaki: Shut up! I’ve just missed live combat recently!

Shuu: That's why I call you dull. 

    [Rumble]

Masaki: !? What is that!?

Shuu: Yeah. Somehow they succeeded.

Xenia: You said they succeeded... Could it be!? Volkruss came back to life!?

Shuu: Well, how about you witness that for yourself? Pardon me for not being around since I'm finished with my work.

Saphine: Then, we leave the rest to you. Do your best.

Masaki: Wait you bastard! ...Damn. wth is he planning!?

Mio: That exchange was somewhat of a familiar feeling right?

Yanglong: We must hurry to the underground temple. We need to verify what happened... 

==== Stage 1: Evil Omen ====

#Scene 2 (Map)#

Volkruss: ...Die, weaklings.

Masaki: Volkruss!? He’s really resurrected!?

Prescia: Uuh... I feel bad...

Tyutti:W-wait a minute. Certainly that is Volkruss but... that is just a shadow.

Yanglong: Yeah, I also feel a weak pressure. If this is the case we can handle it.

???: Well well, you are very confident. As expected of the one controlling the Masoukishin.

Ryune: Who are you!?

Satils: Nice to meet you. I'm Satils. I'm an archbishop of the Church of Volkruss.

Tyutti: That machine is... Nagzert!?

Satils: Yeah, that is the machine that I ride, the machine that I inherited from my sworn friend Luzorl.

Masaki: An unexpectedly important person like the archbishop appears.

Satils: I appreciate your evaluation but I can't permit your irritation any longer. I'll make you disappear from here.

Masaki: Interesting... Bring it on!!

Xenia: Wait, Masaki! It will be too much if you receive more damage! Let Tyutti and I repair your machine at once!

Masaki: ...Aw, I'm firing myself up and you pour water on me. 

[Prescia vs Volkruss]

Prescia: Uh... Why... This bad feeling is...

Volkruss: ...This thread is...

Prescia: !? My head... hurts...

Volkruss: ...I see, interesting...

Prescia: Go away!! 

[Masaki vs Satils]

Satils: I see... You are Masaki-dono?

Masaki: You don't need to remember my name! I'll kill you here! 

[Masaki vs Volkruss]

Volkruss: ...You are... I remember you...

Masaki: Good grief, Volkruss is persistent! 

[Tyutti vs Satils]

Tyutti: You said you are Satils? What are you up to!?

Satils: There is no need to hurry. You will understand it sooner or later, Tyutti-dono.

Tyutti: ...As I thought, it is useless to ask. 

[Yanglong vs Satils]

Yanglong: You’re repeating the same incorrigible things?

Satils: I agree with that opinion. Be obedient not to obstruct us. 

[Mio vs Satils]

Mio: Again another new enemy... But it is better than the same old faces.

Satils: You seem very confident, Mio-dono. But if you aren't prepared you will be tripped up. 

[Ryune vs Satils]

Ryune: I'm annoyed by your quick appearance but I'll immediately make you leave!

Satils: Well, I wonder about that. If you make light of me you will get a painful experience. 

[Xenia vs Satils]

Xenia: An improved version of Nagzert huh...? In short it is Nagzert Zero?

Satils: No, the name of my machine is Nagzert Kai. Don't be mistaken.

Xenia: That is that. Even if it is remodelled the taste is bad as usual. 

[Prescia vs Satils]

Prescia: What... unpleasant machine.

Satils: You are the daughter of the Sword Emperor. Fufu, this is interesting.

Prescia: W-what!? 

    *Volkruss defeated*

Volkruss: Guuh... This time I admit my defeat... But... you can't erase me. As long as there is a voice calling me... I'll revive again and again!

Satils: … I’m sorry Volkruss-sama. Because I don't have enough power, I let you feel disgrace.

Masaki: Well, the one left is only you, Satils!!

Satils: Too bad, the way I am now I can't compete with you guys. I'm out of here.

Masaki: You're running!?

Satils: Escape is disgraceful. Now that my plan has advanced one step, I’m only temporarily withdrawing.

Masaki: Damn, he said his plan advanced one step? What's he up to...? 

#Scene 3#

Ryune: We blew it up. At this point they can't use the temple anymore.

Masaki: Yeah... I thought so.

Ryune: You are not happy?

Masaki: Well... Because that bastard Satils escaped.

Yanglong: I'm worried about his words before retreating.

Wendy: Yeah. Those guys are after something.

Mio: It is better not to worry about it much. We do everything we can.

Ryune: Even though it was only a shadow, we defeated Volkruss.

Masaki: Well, that’s true. Xenia, can you obtain anything about those guys' movement?

Xenia: Yes. This should be within my capabilities but because those guys of the Church of Volkruss are enigmatic, gathering information on them isn’t easy.

Mio: Isn't that the same with Shu?

Xenia: Yeah.

Masaki: That bastard Shu. wth is he thinking? Even though the Church of Volkruss is his enemy...

Ryune: The truth is he may be his same old self again. Or he will explain later. That’s the type of guy he is.

Masaki: If his explanation doesn't make sense I'll beat the crap out of him.

Tyutti: Well well, let's end it here. We can't sit on our butts here forever. Let's return to the royal capital.

Mio: Me, Yanglong-san, Tyutti-san and Prescia have another task to do.

Masaki: Right... Let's go home. 

#Scene 4#

???: You returned at last. I watched your work carefully.

Satils: I'm sorry about the result.

???: Hm... Kristoff helped us. That man is up to something.

Satils: I'm surprised that the hateful former apostate who killed my comrade Luzorl is assisting us...

???: Ignore him. He can't cause us trouble at the moment.

Satils: But thanks to his action earning us time, we succeed in reviving Volkruss. Even if only a shadow.

???: That is good. But after that what happened?

Satils: Because of my imperfect power...

???: You fool. Not only that. You talked a bit too much...

Satils: ...I'm sorry.

???: We still need time for Volkruss-sama to revive but, we must not let them realize that. Intentionally revealing our true intention is the peak of foolishness.

Satils: Yes... I'm deeply ashamed.

???: Do everything serene and calm. Be quiet and use lies for disturbance if possible.

Satils: I'll bear that in mind.

???: Luckily, the mob begins to move for some reason . We have to take advantage of that. Fufufu... Indeed it is fun. The chaos that exhausts the world, that time is... 

War never leaves where it found a nation - Edmund Burke

 ===== The world that exists in different phase space inside the Earth - La Gias.
 That is the different world that has both different civilizations compared to the surface and the technology that is superior to science on Earth. In that La Gias, at the holy kingdom Langran that is biggest and         famous for its long history, a prediction was made:

 "A giant demon god will destroy Langran. And then, the calamity will spread to all living beings on La Gias"

 To oppose that prediction, Langran developed a humanoid general-purpose weapon called Masouki.
 The power of Masouki is provided by perpetual motion, and depend on the
 the prana of the pilot draws out endless power.
 Among those Masoukis, there are 4 Masouki machines that hold tremendous power
 and succeed in a contract with the souls of great heralds. They are called
 Masoukishin.

 But, the Masoukishin had one sole weak point. Since it channels such high power, a large amount of prana is consumed.
 Among the people of La Gias, the ones able to bear such consumption can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
 The government of Langran decided a crucial decision: summon the controlling candidates from the surface.
 Among them is a youngster named Masaki Ando.

 At first he opposed bringing him along but as he learned about the affair of the world, he discovered the meaning of protecting La Gias.
 Masaki starts to grow up over many encounters and partings.
 Due to the appearance of Masoukishins, La Gias broke into an era of wars.
 The great war dragged everything to the dirt.

 Many disturbances are caused by the Church of Volkruss that worships the Evil God.
 Due to the action of Masaki and his friends, the temporary peace was established.
 But the remnant of the flame of wars hasn't gone out.
 And now, the new threat appears before Masaki and his friends. =====



#Scene 5#

Masaki: Antilles?

Ryune: Right, Antilles Corps. That is our official name.

Kuro: That is the name of the goddess that gives birth to all things that appear in the myth of Langran.

Masaki: I think it's okay to stay the same as before.

Ryune: The name will be cooler than Masoukishin Corps to me.

Masaki: Really? I liked it.

Ryune: It's already been decided. Moreover, aircraft carriers are being deployed and new team members are joining, isn't it good to refresh our spirits?

Masaki: Well, sure. Because the number of people will increase considerably.

Ryune: Because of that, we are tied by the rules of the federation.

Masaki: The federation, as in Earth's confederation?

Ryune: No, it is a bit different. It is hard to explain.

Kuro: Well, let me explain. The federation is an organization created for safety, maintenance and international peace.

Masaki: So it is like the old UN?

Kuro: They have the same goal but, as an organization they're completely different. The history and the basic quality of cross-nation relations is different, moreover the resolution of the federation has legal force behind it.

Masaki: Legal force? They have troops?

Kuro: Until recently the 4 kingdoms Langran, Bagonia, Shutedonias, Ariel supplied the number of troops together… Because of the previous war, they're forces are almost exhausted so the Antilles Corps replace them. That is also the intention of the Langran government.

Masaki: ...Wait. If that is the case we have to follow the commands of the federation?

Kuro: Not command but resolution. It is like permission. When we intervene, other kingdoms' permission is necessary. Well, there is an exception for Ryune and the pilots of Masoukishin. They don't need to follow any order. But for other members, except in emergencies, they have to act according to the command of the federation.

Masaki: You said emergency... Something like the danger of the entire world?

Kuro: That is it roughly. Originally Masoukishin was created with that in mind. In those cases the authority of Antilles Corps is entrusted to the pilots of Masoukishin.

Masaki: There's got to be a limitation.

Ryune: The Antilles Corps is that strong an organization.

Masaki: ...Well, it can't be helped. Yeah, which reminds me, today is the day the newcomers arrive?

Ryune: Yeah, I heard he made a courtesy call together with notification he will come here soon?

Shiro: Ah, speaking of the devil. He's here?

Masaki: Well. Good, you may come in.

Tsrein: Excuse me! Ensign Tsrein Xan Lecanivan assigned to the Antilles Corps from today! Nice to meet you!!

Masaki: You don't need to make that big voice, we can hear you. Come in.

Tsrein: Yes! Pardon my rudeness!

Tsrein: Is Masaki Ando-dono and Ryune Zoldark-dono here?

Masaki: I don't know if they are here or not but I'm Masaki.

Ryune: It is intrusive to give out my name when asked who I am, but Ryune Zoldark is me.

Masaki: What is that? Kabuki?

Ryune: Right, Aotozoshi Hana no Nishikie. That is the line of five popular name white wave men.

Masaki: You don't have to be that detailed.

Ryune: Isn't it popular that even Masaki knows it?

Masaki: Well, that's it. Nice to meet you Tsrein.

Tsrein: Yes, sir! From now on I'm happy to receive any pointers and guidance!

Masaki: ...Don't feel solid like that. Relax yourself a bit more.

Tsrein: Yes! Understood! I'll keep up with my best effort!

Masaki: ...You don't seem to understand me at all.

Ryune: Then, first show us your skill.

Tsrein: Skill... You mean?

Ryune: Isn't it obvious the skill of Masouki?

Tsrein: Y-yes... But how...?

Ryune: Go to the hangar and show us.

Tsrein: I have permission to do that?

Ryune: Of course. Because you are already a member of Antilles Corps. Moreover you want to ride your Masouki right?

Tsrein: Of course!

Ryune: Then, it is decided. Let's go to the hangar.

Masaki: That is fine but...

Ryune: Eh? What's wrong?

Masaki: You said you're Tsrein? Do something serious with that rigid way of talking. That is an order.

Tsrein: Yes sir!

Masaki: ...You reply well. 

#Scene 6#

Xenia: Ah, Masaki, Ryune.

Masaki: ...You're usually with the Masouki.

Xenia: Of course. I'm busy with fixing them.

Ryune: Even when there is no work you are here.

Xenia: Leaving that aside, is that boy a newcomer?

Masaki: Oh, right. Well, Tsrein...huh?

Tsrein: I'm ensign Tsrein Xan Lecanivan (de arimasu)!

Masaki: Hey. Arimasu is forbidden. (You are too polite)

Tsrein: Understood! Then, I'll say it again... I'm ensign Tsrein Xan Lecanivan!

Xenia: I'm Xenia Grania Bilseia. Nice to meet you.

Tsrein: Yes! Nice to meet you... (Yoroshiku onegai de arima...) or rather onegai shimasu.

Xenia: Fufu, strange kid. As I thought, you're only attached to our place.

Masaki: Eh? What does that mean?

Xenia: That? You don't know? The pilots attached to Antilles Corps are basically only odd fellows.

Tsrein: ...

Xenia: Oh, sorry, Tsrein. I didn't mean to insult you.

Tsrein: No, I don't mind that. It's the truth. I was prepared for it.

Masaki: What do you mean by... odd fellow?

Xenia: In short, they have a lot of issues with groups, but in exchange they have superior ability.

Masaki: Er... They have personality problems. But, that is not so bad right?

Kuro: If we talk about character, Masaki is also in the same boat.

Masaki: Shut up.

Xenia: Have you come to the hangar to study, or for a test drive?

Masaki: The test drive. Are we good to go?

Xenia: It's fine. You can launch any time. Tsrein, how many pilot hours do you have?

Tsrein: By simulator 200 hours, and 50 hours in Blowell.

Xenia: So you are fresh from military academy? Well, I wonder if you can move it? Your spirit affinity is... fire right? Let's test you in the Leogeira.

Masaki: Leo...what?

Xenia: Leogeira. It is Wendy's new type of Masouki exclusively for Antilles Corps.

Masaki: Wendy? When...?

Xenia: Of course, but I also helped.

Masaki: Eh? Wait... I heard certainly there are basically 16 Masoukis right? The 17 Masouki is Ismail?

Xenia: It's a new philosophy. Ismail is a Masouki created for the purpose surpass the Masoukishins. Leogeira is a successor of Jaifar.

Masaki: Successor? Then, what happened to Jaifar?

Xenia: I found many problems in it, it is in the middle of readjustment. Because such problems exist, a reserve of Masouki is always necessary.

Masaki: ...That means, could you also prepare a back-up of Cybuster?

Xenia: No. The Masoukishin can't be replaced that easily. It is not that simple to make a contract with a high ranking soul. ...But someday I want to take on the challenge.

Masaki: Don't say scary things so smoothly.

Xenia: Why is it scary?

Masaki: If not for the criminal history called Duraxyl is... Oh!! S-sorry... I shouldn't say something like criminal history... Ah, jeez, that...

Xenia: You don't have to worry about that. I haven't forgot the events surrounding Duraxyl. But, just because I failed, if I withdraw I can't advance ahead. I'm also a petty creator of the Masouki. It is natural for me to think that someday I want to complete the Masoukishin. Of course, the real Masoukishin that respects the will of the spirit.

Tsrein: W-wonderful! You are great Xenia-sama!

Masaki: Yeah, well, it is certainly important. Xenia is great.

Xenia: Wait, what's with you two? Flattery will get you nowhere. M-more importantly. Tsrein, you wanted to test drive right?

Tsrein: Yes, right! Then, let me board the Leogeira!

Xenia: Then, have a glance at this and do the retina registration. Then please say anything. You'll register a voice print.

Tsrein: Understood!

Masaki: Eh? What are you doing?

Xenia: I'm strengthening the security. The Antilles Corps will turn into an independent force, it's natural right?

Ryune: Ah, I see.

Xenia: Well, because the Masoukishin and Valsione were pre existing it is alright but... Ok, I finished the registration. Then, let's move to real combat.

Tsrein: Understood! ...Real combat, that is the combat with live ammunition!?

Xenia: Yeah. A while ago I received a request to clear out some Demon Golems, this is just the right time.

Masaki: Ah, I see. That's good.

Ryune: Yeah yeah. Simulation training doesn't prepare you for winning real combat.

Tsrein: Eh? Eeh!?

Ryune: It is alright. Because we'll back you up properly.

Masaki: Well, let's go.

Tsrein: Eeeeh!?

Masaki: Let's move before they complain.

Tsrein: Y...yes, understood!

Masaki: Then, I'll get in the Cybuster...

Wendy: Ah, Masaki. Do you plan to use Cybuster?

Masaki: Yo, Wendy. Is there a problem with it?

Wendy: Sorry. Now Cybuster is in the middle of it's maintenance period. I'm doing an overhaul, I'm afraid you can't use it today.

Masaki: Is that so... Then, it can't be helped. It's been a while since I rode Jaohm. Is that Ok?

Wendy: Yeah, it is fine. Since Gennadii hasn't returned yet.

Masaki: Then, I'll borrow it for a short time.

Wendy: Beat the Demon Golems right? I hear you. Do your best.

Masaki: Yeah! 

==== Stage 2: The Beginning of Antilles Corps ====

#Scene 7 (Map)#

Tsrein: The Demon Golem is...

Masaki: What, only one?

Xenia: That? According to the report, there should be 5 but...

Ryune: Then, we'll keep an eye on the surroundings.

Masaki: So, Tsrein. I'll leave this one to you.

Tsrein: B-but, so suddenly, that's...

Xenia: Don't worry. Because the basic property is different, you won't lose if you do things normally.

Ryune: Right right. As long as you don't show your back you'll be alright.

Tsrein: U-understood! Ensign Tsrein Xan Lecanivan ready for battle!!

Xenia: Watch your damage. If things get dangerous let me repair you by my Norse Rey.

Tsrein: Roger! 

*Turn 2*

Kuro: Masaki! There is a response on the spirit radar!

Masaki: Hey, it's the remaining Golems.

Ryune: The number is... 4. They will come here in about 5 more minutes.

Tsrein: Eeh!?

Masaki: Don't worry. We'll take them on.

Xenia: That's it. Well, get rid of them quickly.

Tsrein: Please don't ask so much of a beginner.

Masaki: Everyone is a beginner for the first time! The opponent is only a weak thing, you are blessed!

Tsrein: Uu... The pilots of the Masouki are beasts.

Xenia: Yes yes. Don't complain and clear things quickly.

Tsrein: Roger!

  • Turn 3*

Ryune: Here they come.

Masaki: Well, we will act from now on.

Ryune: Right. 

[Tsrein vs Enemy]

Tsrein: Here I go!! Uoooooh!! 

[Tsrein vs Enemy (counter)]

Tsrein: Uwah!? It's coming!?

Masaki: Stay calm! You won't be done in one attack! 

[Masaki defeated]

Masaki: Ouch...

Tsrein: Are you alright, Masaki-dono?

Masaki: Yeah... I'm setting a bad example.

Tsrein: I see, you risked your life teaching me! Thank you!

Masaki: Y-yeah... Well. 

[Ryune defeated]

Masaki: Hey, Ryune! What are you doing!?

Ryune: I only lost on purpose.

Xenia: On purpose!? Because I can repair you! Don't increase unnecessary work. 

[Xenia defeated]

Xenia: Eh? This isn't what I expected...

Masaki: What's wrong, Xenia? You lose your touch?

Xenia: Wrong! It was only a miscalculation! 

[Tsrein defeated]

Tsrein: Uwah! H, help me!

Masaki: Don't panic! The escape pod will generate on its own!

Tsrein: Eh? Uwah! I'm safe...

Xenia: Now, what are you doing!? I'm deducting the repair cost from your salary!

Tsrein: I, it can't be...

  • Battle ends*

Masaki: It's over.

Ryune: Yeah, there is no contact on the radar.

Xenia: Then, let's return.

Tsrein: Roger! 

#Scene 8#

Masaki: Well, the Demon Golems are gone.

Xenia: Up until now there are people that summoned them to make war, it can't be helped. Moreover, since the Church of Volkruss has been active recently...

Masaki: The guy called Satils...? Are those guys related?

Xenia: It doesn't seem related this time. Don't you think they were summoned for public works by a practitioner somewhere?

Masaki: If you summon it, you should clean it up.

Xenia: You don't need to tell me. Other than that if we don't quickly write the report...

Ryune: Which reminds me, who requested to have the Golems cleared?

Xenia: Security Bureau. They will give out special rewards. Though, it is 10000 credits.

Ryune: It seems like a part-time job.

Xenia: Once the Antilles Corps officially begins I think those jobs will increase.

Masaki: In other words the Langran government doesn't financially support us anymore?

Xenia: It doesn't mean they completely ignore us. But make no mistake that we'll become an organization that earns funding independently.

Tsrein: ...The rumor was true.

Xenia: Dear. That story even spread to the military academy?

Tsrein: Yes, in its own way.

Xenia: Ah, then the number of candidates will decrease.

Tsrein: I myself volunteered.

Xenia: As I thought. You're a bit strange. You volunteered even though you knew it would be tough.

Tsrein: When I heard the stories of the Masoukishin Corps from the previous battles, I admired you guys.

Ryune: Admire? Us?

Tsrein: Yes!

Ryune: No matter how you cut it, even you know we're having problems with the Langran troops?

Tsrein: No, this is for the justice of all La Gias. That is a very important thing. Of course, I love Langran but I must correct injustice regardless of border.

Masaki: No wonder you're so stiff.

Xenia: Well, I'm happy that you volunteered. Moreover, it is time to return to Langran. If we don't write a report we won't receive the reward.

Masaki: Oh, right. Let's go.

[ obtain 10000 credits] 

#Scene 9#

Becky: Ah, welcome back. Well done beating the Demon Golems.

Masaki: Becky! When did you return?

Becky: Just a while ago. But, I feel sorry. I could have helped you clear the Golems.

Xenia: That uncharacteristic. The truth is you beat us here on purpose, right?

Becky: N-no way. Hahaha... Don't say such a thing!

Mio: Hi, everyone, you look tired!

Ryune: Mio, you also came back?

Mio: Yeah, I was with Becky-san. When I heard you went to clear the Goblems, I hid together with Becky.

Becky: Ah, hey, Mio! You shouldn't spoil our secret!!

Xenia: Hm, as I thought!

Mio: Well well, aren't chores good for character?

Masaki: What are you saying? Beating the Golem was barely troublesome.

Mio: Yeah.

Masaki: It's not always a good idea to speak so honestly!

Tsrein: You are Mio Sasuga-dono and Rebecca Turner-dono right? I'm...

Becky: Yeah, we heard about you. You are ensign Lecanivan? You can just call me Becky.

Tsrein: Yes! Then, Becky-dono, you can call me Tsrein!

Becky: ...You are stiff.

Mio: You also can just call me Mio. What's your age?

Tsrein: I'm 15.

Mio: I see, then you are one year younger than me. You are the youngest if we don't count Presia.

Tsrein: Please take care of me, Senpai (Senior)! Mio: Senpai... Feels good... Hey, say it once more!

Tsrein: Y, yes... Please take care of me, Senpai.

Mio: Yeah! Leave it to me, Kohai (Junior)! By the way, your hairstyle, did you do that on purpose?

Tsrein: Eh? This? No, it is natural spiky hair.

Mio: Hm... Could you try to sit with one knee up, and cross your arms?

Tsrein: Yes? Er... L-like this?

Mio: Right right. Make a powerful facial expression.

Tsrein: Y-yes... Phew!!

Mio: Oh! At this angle the hair waves are perfect!

Ryune: It could even be better if Lang Xiao is beside you.

Mio: You understood, Ryune-san.

Tsrein: Er... What does that mean?

Mio: It'll cause some problems if I explain. Yeah, I'm satisfied so that is it.

Tsrein: Y-yes...

Mio: Next time, I'll need your hair to be wavier. That is my homework.

Tsrein: Eh? That is too much for me.

Gennadii: Don't ask the unreasonable again.

Masaki: Uoh!? Gennadii is here?

Gennadii: Yeah, I returned together with Mio.

Mio: Great stealth technique, Gen-chan! Nice re-appearance too!

Tsrein: S-sorry to bother you! Gennadii-dono!

Gennadii: Don't worry. I'm used to it.

Mio: By the way, is Tsrein the only newcomer?

Ryune: Certainly not, the schedule says tomorrow some new people will be flying in. You didn't read the notice?

Mio: No. It is rather early to hear.

Ryune: But it is not the time to put on airs.

Mio: What is the aircraft like? Kaga? Taifuu? Essex? Enterprise?

Ryune: ...Those are all old-fashioned aircraft right? It is different.

Xenia: Because it will be the place we live from now on, I understand your anxiety.

Masaki: The launching ceremony is tomorrow right? I understand why you can't wait until then. 

#Scene 10#

Masaki: This...? It's bigger than I thought.

Ryune: It has to be to store no less than 16 Masouki machines.

???: No no lady. This ship can store 30 machines at most.

Ryune: What, that is amazing... By the way, who are you, old man?

???: Yeah, sorry for my rudeness. I'm...

???: Father! You waste time at such a place again! Come quickly because everyone is waiting!

???: Ah, hey, Charrie. Don't pull me. The people over here are...

???: Don't call me Charrie! Leave that for later and come quickly!

???: Ouch, ouch! Don't pull my ear!

Mio: Sorry for the wait! I bought octopus dumplings. ...By the way who are those two people?

Ryune: They're wearing military uniforms, I think they are staff but...

Xenia: *pant*, hey, the launching ceremony has started. If we don't line up...

Masaki: Yeah, how troublesome.

Xenia: Hey, look sharp! The high government officials have also come in full. Don't make a bad impression for us.

Kuro: From now we have to be obsessive about the corps management.

Xenia: Right. Hey, go.

Masaki: Yes, yes.

Quintinus: Before the Gods, with all due respect, let me speak well...

Masaki: Hey, Xenia.

Xenia: What?

Masaki: The one who gives the ritual overthere is perhaps the second cousin king that you talked about before?

Xenia: Yeah, he is the grandchild of grandfather's brother, the 289th king of Langran, his Majesty Quintinus.

Masaki: He is young.

Xenia: Sure... He is only 21. His growing beard did not suit him.

Masaki: Pooh!

???: Hey you over there! Silence! 

#Scene 11#

Masaki: We're finally done... It lasted for 30 minutes.

Xenia: It is not because of you. I didn't know that the new Prime Minister likes to speechify that much. I have to update our data...

Ryune: What, that old man is the Prime Minister? He seemed somewhat unkempt.

Xenia: He was chosen by the recent presidential election. He is dovish, he isn't really a good partner to us.

Mio: Then, they treat us as a burden?

Xenia: Well, right. The ship was just finished and the budget is empty now. That was a warm welcome.

Mio: Not a good start.

Tsrein: Please don't think all the Langran people are like that!

Mio: Understood, understood. Cool down.

Tsrein: ...I'm sorry for my carelessness.

Tyutti: Ah, here you are! I found you guys.

Masaki: Oh, Tyutti. That is finished?

Tyutti: Yeah. I still have to report but I'll get away as much as possible.

Ryune: Hahah, you are great Tyutti. That kind of job is merciless.

Tyutti: Yeah yeah, I have to introduce to you the captain and vice captain of the new ship.

Bradroy: I'm the colonel-captain in charge as the ship's captain, Bradroy Zan Verified. Nice to meet you.

Cherian: I'm major Cherian Zania Verified. Nice to meet you.

Ryune: Ah, you are the one from before...

Cherian: Oh, you guys...

Bradroy: I didn't explain properly at that time but, this is a good ship.

Becky: Right. Smooth ride so far. Bigger is always better. I'm satisfied!

Bradroy: I'm happy to hear that. Right, have you guys given a name to this ship?

Masaki: What? It hasn't been decided?

Xenia: The usual custom is that the crew decides. What's a good name?

Tyutti: Right... How about something like Tougou?

Masaki: Tougou? What is that?

Tyutti: Eh? Masaki, aren't you Japanese? You don't know? Admiral Tougou.

Masaki: Who is that guy?

Mio: He is Tougou Heihachirou. He is Commander-in-Chief of the union fleet of the Japan-Russia war.

Masaki: ...I don't know. History was a weak subject for me.

Mio: Tyutti-san, I don't know about Langran but in Japan we don't attach people's names to aircraft or warships.

Tyutti: Eh, really?

Mio: The ship that Admiral Tougou rode is Mikasa.

Masaki: ...You know such things as well.

Xenia: Even in Langran there is no custom to attach people's names to the ship. We often use names from myth.

Tyutti: Then let's decide as Hringhorni.

Masaki: F...Fling?

Tyutti: Hringhorni. It is the name of the giant ship that appears in the myths of Northern Europe.

Masaki: Hringhorni... right? Well, do you guys agree with Tyutti's name?

Ryune: Yeah, it's good isn't it?

Mio: I concur.

Tyutti: What do you think, Captain?

Bradroy: Eh, it's ok.

Cherian: !

Bradroy: Ah!

Tyutti: ? What’s the matter with you?

Bradroy: A-aa, no, that is a good name. Let's make it Hringhorni.

Masaki: Oh! What is that!?

Tyutti: An enemy's attack!

Masaki: Enemy? But the war is over right?

Kuro: The Masouki response... It is probably terrorists.

Ryune: Seems about right.

Masaki: Damn, every last one of them, let's knock them down no matter who they are! 

Stage 3: Launching Ceremony

#Scene 12 (Map)#

Tyutti: The enemies are aiming for the mothership right?

Bradroy: I'm sorry but this ship still isn't equipped enough. It can't move or attack. I'm relying on your help.

Masaki: Understood!

Becky: What, that big thing is just a paper-tiger?

Xenia: Right now it is close to that. Because almost all the parts aren't working and the armor is thin. Even normal attacks can cause big damage. No matter what, don't let them approach the mothership!

Kuro: They're coming!!

Omgared: Hm... The Masoukishin are here.

Drep: Contrary to our prediction.

Omgared: There is no need to worry. The power of this Svend can easily pierce through the encirclement and get near the mothership.

Drep: I see. As expected of comrade Omgared.

Omgared: Of course. The other comrades are creating chaos. Only you and I left to sink the ship. Ready?

Drep: Roger.

Xenia: That Masouki is a new type! I must record it!

Masaki: What kingdom does it belong to?

Xenia: I don't know well just by looking but... It does not seem to be from Shutedoniass or Bagonia. Ah, of course not Langran either.

Masaki: You understand that much just by looking?

Xenia: Wendy, what do you think?

Wendy: Probably...

Xenia: You know it?

Wendy: Yes. But I'm not very confident.

Xenia: There isn't enough information. Then, anyhow record, record! Everyone also records all details carefully!

Tyutti: Xenia-sama, don't forget our purpose. Now the priority is protecting the mothership.

Xenia: Oh, right!

Omgared: Then, before we fight let me introduce myself. My name is Omgared Kireshina. I'm the chairman of Kakueki no Saibou, aiming to restore absolute democracy.

Masaki: That guy is making a statement on an open circuit?

Omgared: You guys also have your own objective, right? I aim to release the people suppressed by societal rank and am for absolute equality. Therefore, I have to destroy the new mothership of the Antilles Corps.

Masaki: No matter what sophism you argue, it is nothing against our might!

Omgared: Then, you agree that we'll solve this by fighting.

Masaki: The side that started the fight force shouldn't preach! 


[Masaki vs Omgared]

Masaki: This guy... is very agile!

Omgared: This is Masoukishin... It is not like the rumors.

[Xenia vs Omgared or Drep] Xenia: This feeling... is a bit the same with Langran's Masouki? Maybe... 

[Tsrein vs Enemy]

Tsrein: Kuh... What hostile pressure... It is different from training...

Tyutti: Tsrein, your pulse is rising! Stay calm!

Tsrein: Y-yes! I'll try to! 

[Ally vs Drep]

Drep: The one aiming at our idealism... I won't show mercy on you! 

*Turn 2 enemy's phrase*

Omgared: Well, the troop deployment is complete. It is time for us to act. Don't you think so?

Drep: Roger! 

*Turn 3*

Bradroy: I worry about the movement of that new type.

Cherian: What are you saying now? Isn't it obvious they are aiming at us?

Bradroy: No, it doesn't seem so. The movement... it's too skilled don't you think?

Cherian: ...Now that you mention it.

Bradroy: Isn't it true? Looking at their tactics, we should rethink our strategy.

Cherian: Yes, yes. 

*Turn 4*

Cherian: That's it! The purpose of the enemy is... using close combat to force their way through!

Bradroy: As I thought... Send notice to all members! Form a defense line to protect the ship!

Ryune: Defense line? In other words we use ZOC?

Masaki: Right. That new type has extremely high mobility and close combat ability. If we focus on them and they break through the frontline, the ship will sink in no time!

Tsrein: Er, does ZOC mean zone of control?

Xenia: Right. You already trained for it at the military academy, right?

Tsrein: Uh, yes. I think so in the simulator.

Mio: The tactics are reversed. The simulator system is a thing made for dealing direct combat. You understand through the battle so far that if the enemy is near you can't let it pass right?

Tsrein: Sure... I'm learning! 

*Omgared defeated*

Omagared: Damn... They got me. I was careless... I'll leave the rest to you, Drep.

Drep: Roger. 

*Drep defeated*

Drep: I failed. Retreat. 

#Scene 13#

Bradroy: Good grief, what a terrible launching ceremony.

Cherian: Thank you, everyone.

Masaki: No problem. We're only protecting our home.

Cherian: Eh? Home?

Mio: Because, we will live here from now on right?

Cherian: Yeah, I see. Home... right? This ship is our home...

Bradroy: Damn, even though it is my ship... Ah!!

Mio: Er... I only just noticed but why are you always pinching the captain?

Cherian: Eh? A, that, this is... You saw that?

Mio: Of course.

Masaki: Really? I hadn't noticed that at all...

Mio: Ignore the blockhead. So are the captain and vice captain a married couple?

Cherian: What!? Me? With that middle-aged man?

Bradroy: Middle-aged man is hurtful. Father is more suitable.

Mio: Ah, so you guys are parent and child.

Cherian: ...It's my shame to admit it.

Bradroy: I feel proud.

Masaki: So a father and daughter are captain and vice captain then?

Xenia: It isn't rare. For the soldier class the hereditary connections are numerous.

Mio: By the way how old is Cherian-san?

Cherian: Me? i am 22 year old.

Mio: Uwah! That young? I thought that you were about the same age with Wendy-san.

Cherian: Wendy-san is... the one with the gold mining bachelor? Wait, you thought I was 30 year old!?

Wendy: Er... it's a bit early to call me 30...

Cherian: Eh!? Whee!? Wendy-san!? N-no, that is just an error of miscalculation. I just carelessly spat it out...

Masaki: Wendy, don't worry about it. In general Wendy looks younger than her age.

Ryune: Yeah yeah. You are young. There are various looks.

Wendy: Really? Thank you.

Cherian: Ah, it is time I make an announcement inside the ship. Follow me. 

#Scene 14#

Cherian: This is Hringhorni's bridge.

Xenia: It seems very automated.

Cherian: At the worst case, it can control itself. Normally there is room for 6 crew members. 

#Scene 15#

Cherian: This is the briefing room. There are 2 similar rooms but this is the main one.

Mio: It is wide. Looks like it can pack 50 people.

Cherian: If you stand, the whole crew can gather here.

Becky: How many crew are there?

Cherian: Now, if we also count the family members, it is 60.

Becky: Family?

Cherian: The Antilles Corps is almost like an independent nation. Then, it is natural that some would ride this ship with family.

Becky: Hm, I see. 

#Scene 16#

Cherian: This is the common area. The resting room. There are 3 rooms like this inside the ship.

Mio:It seems pretty comfortable. Very spacious. It looks like a manga coffee shop.

Cherian: Soldiers’ rest is very important.

Masaki: Hey, this chair is soft.

Ryune: That is a holo-TV right? It is big.

Becky: Oh, there’s also booze in the refrigerator. There is even bourbon. I'm happy.

Cherian: I’m glad you’re pleased.

Mio: Are there also private rooms?

Cherian: Of course. I don't have time to show them all but there are about 2000 private quarters.

Becky: You said 2000... Isn't there a 60-person crew?

Cherian: That is the number of preparations for emergency accommodation of refugees. Is there any other equipment that you want to see somewhere?

Xenia: Ah, the computer room. Did you bring in Dukakis?

Cherian: Dukakis? Aa, that is the name of the computer right? If I'm not mistaken it is Xenia-sama's custom terminal.

Xenia: Yeah. Since I want to verify on my own something like a connection, so I want to check it out.

Cherian: Then, follow me. This way. 

#Scene 17#

Cherian: This is the computer room.

Xenia: It is there! MY Dukakis, are you okay!?

Cherian: Wendy-san, Xenia-sama can speak with the computer?

Wendy: Fufu, it is merely an expression of love.

Cherian: I had heard strange rumors but they are true.

Xenia: Wendy! Come here. I want to check the data of the Masouki from before.

Wendy: Ah, yes.

Xenia: It's this... Oh, as I thought it is from Ariel Kingdom?

Wendy: Yeah, it can't be mistaken.


Masaki: What? Is it the Masouki used by the terrorists?

Xenia: Yeah. Right. With that designing type, it’s unmistakably from Ariel Kingdom.

Masaki: Where is Ariel Kingdom?

Wendy: It is an island country between Shutedonias and Bagonia.

Masaki: Uh, my memory is fuzzy.

Xenia: Do you remember the Jinou and Daion that were used by Shutedonias? It is developed by Ariel Kingdom and a license product of Shutedoniass.

Masaki: Wow... Those 2 machines were very strong.

Wendy: Ariel Kingdom earns profit by exporting weapons.

Masaki: ...What is that? Their merchants of death?

Xenia: Well, put bluntly. But the products they make are extraordinary.

Wendy: Because they are full of functional beauty. I also sometimes use them as reference.

Xenia: The accuracy of the machines is also high. I can feel the height of the skilled craftspeople.

Wendy: It isn't an exaggeration that it earns a nickname the Skilled Kingdom

Masaki: ...Don't get so excited with such a strange topic, you two. 


#Scene 18#

Xenia: Then, together with the start of Antilles Corps I'll introduce our new members. First, his Highness the representative of Antilles Corps, the president of council, Wagener Gran Cherendoll.

Wagener: Don't call me his Highness, Xenia. I've abandoned the inheritance of the throne.

Masaki: Oh, so you belong to the royal family?

Wagener: Yeah, speaking of the Cherendoll family, it is the bottom of Langran 18 royal family. Nice to meet you. Nevertheless, since the Antilles Corps is officially started, avoid calling me with a royal name from now on.

Masaki: Then, it is good if we call you President?

Wagener: Excuse me if I decline. Just call me Representative.

Xenia: Uncle from the olden days, if we do so you will immediately escape being the leader.

Wagener: Well well, that is natural. No matter what the cause and effect, I ended up being one representative of Antilles Corps.

Becky: Speaking of “representative’, what type of title is that?

Wagener: Ah, that? He sums up everyone's idea, arbitrates, signs as a representative during time of diplomacy. Well, in short he is the face of Antilles Corps.

Xenia: Uncle is the person the king untrusted this job from a long time ago.

Wagener: Anyone has at least one area they excel in.

Mio: ...You chose that title all on your own, huh.

Xenia: Then, I'll introduce the next person. Er... 

#Scene 19#

Xenia: Well, the next person is the last one. A new pilot, first lieutenant Mefil Xania Borlang.

Mefil: I'm Mefil. Nice to meet you~.

Xenia: Because we don't have a spare Masouki, you will be assigned to a reserve Gadifall.

Cherian: Borlang? Could it be ‘that’ Borlang family?

Tsrein: Mefil isn’t related to it!! Please stop that story!

Cherian: A... So, sorry.

Masaki: ?

Mio: Eh? You two know each other?

Mefil: Yes~. I'm Tsre-chan's childhood friend~.

Tsrein: Don't call me Tsre-chan!

Masaki: That is all for the introductions.

Mio: Tsrein, have you memorized them all?

Tsrein: I received the document of everyone beforehand, so somewhat.

Bradroy: The only thing left is seeing the king at the banquet tomorrow.

Masaki: Banquet?

Tyutti: Masaki... Your mind was wandering again. Tomorrow evening we have a party with the king.

Masaki: What? Weren't we not related to the government of Langran anymore?

Tyutti: What are you saying? The official establishment of Antilles Corps is the day after tomorrow. After the naval review of Hringhorni finished.

Masaki: Naval review? Until what time? We can't skip it?

Tyutti: The pilots of the Masoukishin are put close to the rulers of countries. Get used to a bit of ceremony.

Masaki: Ugh, annoying. I can't be familiar with formal ceremonies no matter how much I experience it.

Ryune: Masaki, did you bring formal wear?

Masaki: Formal wear? I am wearing it.

Tyutti: Which reminds me, that is the outfit you wore during the Holy Masouki ceremony.

Masaki: This is my uniform.

Ryune: No! Not at the banquet, anytime but not this time!

Masaki: Why are you that freaking out?

Ryune: Today I'll go to Masaki's house. I'll select the proper clothes.

Masaki: What a selfish decision.

Ryune: Then let's go quickly!

Masaki: Uwah!? H-hey, don't yank me!

Mio: ...They are gone. Well, Masaki can't compare to Ryune in terms of power.

Wendy: …

Mio: Hihihi. You are worrying, Wendy-san?

Wendy: Eh? What?

Mio: Ah, there is a thing Masaki forgot at this place (reading in a monotone).

Wendy: Eh?

Mio: Here, he forgot the mobile computer.

Wendy: Ah, true.

Mio: At this time Masaki is in trouble. He has to have someone meet him at his house.

Wendy: R-right.

Mio: Yeah, pass. You, go~.

Wendy: Y-yeah, right. Bye then.

Mio: Fuu... how troublesome.

Xenia: I mean, isn't it rare for Mio to interfere that directly?

Mio: Because, the subtle way isn't interesting. I'm looking for tomorrow's banquet~. 

#Scene 20#

Masaki: I'm home.

Prescia: B-Brother, welcome back.

Ryune: Sorry for butting in.

Prescia: Ah, you are with Ryune-san.

Ryune: Yeah, because there is a banquet tomorrow. If I don't dress hime carefully…

Prescia: Ah, yes.

Masaki: We have visitors? This is rare.

Prescia: Ah! Wendy-san! Come in, come in.

Ryune: Eh? Wendy-san?

Wendy: Er... Sorry for to butt in.

Masaki: What's wrong Wendy. Something happened?

Wendy: Masaki, here. You forgot it.

Masaki: A!? My mobile computer! I forgot it on the ship. Thank you for going to all the trouble.

Wendy: No, not really. Beside that... because of the banquet tomorrow…

Ryune: Right. Let's choose together Wendy-san.

Wendy: Eh?

Ryune: You took all the trouble to bring the mobile computer right?

Wendy: Er, that, well, even I have that excuse or not…

Ryune: Fine, fine. Persia, where is the closet?

Prescia: Ah, yeah, this way.

Masaki: ...They’re making themselves at home.

  1. Scene 21#

Masaki: Ugh... Pain in the neck…

Ryune: Hey, pull yourself together.

Masaki: Right but I haven't dressed up like this since my parent's funeral.

Ryune: Don't compare this with a funeral!

Wendy: …

Ryune: ? Wendy-san, what's wrong?

Wendy: Eh? Y-yeah. I think that uniform suits Masaki.

Ryune: Ah, yeah, sure. It was worth our frantic efforts yesterday.

Masaki: They do say, clothes make the man.

Ryune: No, not really. We fell in love again. Right, Wendy-san?

Wendy: Yeah... Right… Eh? Aa, no, that, it is so but, now a bit…

Ryune: Don't be shy. Ah, no, wait. I wonder if Masaki likes that type?

Masaki: Don't look at me!

???: Such beautiful ladies, you seem to be enjoying the party.

Ryune: Eh? Um, thank you. Nice to meet you, I'm…

???: I know you. You are lady Ryune Zoldark. And, This is lady Wendy Lasm Ikunart.

Wendy: Y-yes. And you are?

Guido: Sorry for the late introduction. I'm Guido Seehofer.

Ryune: Perhaps... are you an Earthling?

Guido: Correct. I'm tentatively doing service in the first reserve of Masouki pilots.

Wendy: I see. Then, you are with Antilles Corps?

Guido: Unfortunately I failed my first test to become a pilot. There is no need for the Antilles Corps to call upon me.

Wendy: You are so modest about that.

Guido: No no. But you two are beautiful. It makes me want to join the Antilles Corps so bad.

Masaki: ...Hey. Can I get in on the story?

Guido: Oh, I forgot. You are Masaki Ando right? Nice to meet you.

Masaki: Your tone changed. Well, fine, nice to meet you. Are you serious with your hope to join the Antilles Corps?

Guido: Yeah, I'm planning to. I’m not cooling off in the reserve forever.

Wendy: Ah, Masaki! The king is here.

Masaki: What? Y-yeah. Xenia is with him.

Guido: Then, excuse me. Miss, we'll meet again if the fates allow.

Quintinus: Welcome to the banquet. Masaki Ando, Ryune Zoldark, Wendy Lasm Ikunart.

Wendy: I thank you for your gracious invitation this day.

Xenia: You're stiff. Quintinus needs to be loosen up more don’t you think?

Quintinus: Please think about your position Xenia. There are rulers of each country here.

Xenia: Well, it is true but…

Quintinus: In general king Feillord would have… Hey, the grand chamberlain is glaring at us.

Xenia: That person is still the grand chamberlain. Brother was also often being scolded.

Quintinus: That is how king Feillord was. I also keep getting scolded.

Xenia: That is also the duty of the royal family. You tentatively studied at the royal school right?

Quintinus: Really tentatively. We are in trouble because much of our traditions have been forgotten.

Xenia: Thank you for your hard work.

Quintinus: Ah, it is time I have to meet the rest of the visitors.

Xenia: I see. Then I'll leave. I have something to discuss with Masaki and his friends.

Quintinus: Understood. If we have leisure time we'll speak again, Xenia.

Xenia: Right. By the way, are you growing a beard?

Quintinus: Aa, this? I think it is a bit dignifield... Does it look strange?

Xenia: ...Well, wait and see. It doesn’t fit you right now. Maybe you’ll grow into it .

Quintinus: Thank you for the brutal honesty. Then, see ya.

Wendy: Fuu... Xenia-sama the way you spoke to the king is…

Xenia: No, he understands. I can't keep hold back with gim. We've been like that since we were kids.

Masaki: Then, what do you want to talk to us about?

Xenia: Eh? Ah that is a lie. It was just an excuse. I was sick of the meet and greets and curtseys.

Masaki: Hm, just like you… 

[Alarm Sound]

Masaki: !? Emergency!?

Xenia: That is... Some invade the royal capital. What are the guards doing!?

Wendy: Half go to the security station, the rest of you sortie! 

Stage 4: Banquet

#Scene 22 (Map)#

???: Yoyo, you're having a fun party! Let us join too!

Masaki: Uwah!? W-what? Those are Bendeid and Grafdrone right?

Xenia: That unpleasant paint job... it’s unmistakable! Those guys are the Shinmei brigade!

Masaki: Shinmei...what?

Xenia: The terrorist Shinmei brigade. They are a bunch of idiots.

Eric: Thank you for those words, young lady! Only 200 people have ever survived calling Eric Gregroy an idiot!

Mio: Lots!

???: Boss, it didn't reach 200. Until now there are exactly 194.

Eric: Oh, right. As expected the wise man Znero. You remember well. But if we round off it is 200 right?

Znero: ...If we rounded to the nearest number it is 190.

Eric: It’s almost okay!

Masaki: Uwa... That guy is really an idiot.

Mio: That guy seems like he would ride motorbikes in the post-century apocalypse as a raider…

Eric: Hey, because a case is the end of the century now! Do you understand, young lady?

Mio: Eh? According to the calendar of La Gias now is year 4959 right? It isn’t near the end of the century.

Eric: Hey, the end of the century sounds good right? Don't feel that? It is exactly our time!

Mio: But, I don't think you guys are the type that would make it anyway.

Eric: We will see about that. Attack, you punks!

Soldier: Yes!!

Znero: Alright alright. 

[Masaki vs Eric]

Masaki: What is your purpose here!?

Eric: Purpose? Isn't it obvious? You're a winner in life if you live to enjoy it! That's all! Masaki: Attacking the royal capital just for fun!?

Eric: Not just for ‘fun’! It is absolute fun!

Masaki: ...You are really a fool. 

[Mio vs Eric]

Eric: Let the fun begin, young lady!

Mio: Well, you guys seem to be enjoying things.

Eric: Yeah, it is fun!

Mio: But, please think of other people too!

Eric: Nonsense. It is Ok if only we enjoy it! 

[Xenia vs Eric]

Xenia: That is the Bazodan from Ariel? It is a very old machine.

Eric: It is not only Bazodan! It is extreme Bazodan, the supreme gem that we personally tune up! You are a child if you don't understand its coolness!

Xenia: It is surely Masouki where only a horsepower is used enough regularly… No matter how one puts it the paint job is tasteless. 

*Znero defeated*

Znero: Ouch... I'm done. I'm outta here. 

*Eric defeated*

Eric: Damn, I'm done? It’s fine, I enjoyed the game. Goodbye! 


#Scene 23#

Masaki: Those guys were riding international Masoukis.

Xenia: Bendiddo is the product of Bagonia, Bazodun is the production of Ariel. But the Grafdrone is used everywhere.

Mio: I don't know much about Ariel, but if there are products of Bagonia, I wonder if it has anything to do with Bagonia?

Xenia: Isn't there information about the nations backing the Shinmei brigade (Shinmei was a period)? In the war at that time, because the Masoukis were deployed everywhere, it is possible that the terrorists could have obtained some of them.

Wendy: That's worrisome.

Xenia: Because the academy is near here, stay calm.

Wendy: It’s where I graduated as an alchemist, it’s natural.

Masaki: But terrorists are everywhere.

Xenia: Well, in any organization there is always a displeasing member. Moreover, the population of the surface dwellers is increasing quickly lately.

Masaki: ...I have heard that story before.

Xenia: If the problem is that simple let the enemy invade the royal capital. The members of the security unit and the bodyguards are good so just relax.

Wendy: But those guys used the invisibility technique…

Xenia: That is also a problem. Not just anyone can use it. Even the Mantra elemental device can't produce large numbers of users. If that treasure fell into the hands of terrorists then it is a disaster.

Wendy: The security unit and the bodyguards finished their protests but... we haven't made a good impression with them.

Xenia: ...Well, we observed that they are doing things their way. A lot of questions right...? Our budget was also cut to form the Antilles.

Masaki: Are you pointing the finger at me?

Quintinus: I think you risked your life heroically.

Wendy: Eh? Ah... Your highness? Just when did you…

Xenia: Wait, where are the bodyguards?

Quintinus: They are standing by outside. This visit is an informal one.

Xenia: ...You act too rashly.

Quintinus: There is no need to put on airs. We were saved by your actions.

Masaki: Ah, it is nothing.

Quintinus: I can't pressure the government to promote you but something like recommending an award can be done. If you gain some authorities, you can act more easily right?

Wendy: We're grateful for your sympathy, my lord.

Xenia: You are also the one who supported uncle to become a representative right?

Quintinus: Yeah, you heard it from Teacher right? He’s a good person. He is polite and smart.

Xenia: Teacher? Oh, I remember. Uncle is the teacher to your family right?

Quintinus: Yeah, that's why I know a lot about him. Surely he will serve you well.

Xenia: I see. Uncle, normally you are not reliable but at crucial times you also come through surprisingly well. Surely you've become a member of Antilles.

Quintinus: Unlike Feilord, I don't have much experience so that is the best I can do. But, I will inherit his will. I know you won't fail us. Well, that's all. We'll meet again.

Masaki: ...A thoughtful king isn't he?

Xenia: But he is having problems with popularity.

Ryune: There is a more popular ex-royal bloodline here.

Xenia: That's rude. Not ex, now I'm still in the royal family! I just have no claim to inherit the throne.

Ryune: Because you refused to be popular.

Wendy: Let's end the chit-chat. The ceremony will begin tomorrow early morning. 

#Scene 24#

Masaki: Hey, Mefil. You on a break?

Mefil: Ah, yes~. You also, Masaki?

Masaki: Yeah. I was bored with the banquet.

Mefil: But I was in the waiting room~. Even so I was nervous.

Masaki: ...I have a question for you. Got a minute?

Mefil: Yes~? What is it?

Masaki: ...If you don't like the question you don't need to answer. Earlier Cherian said something about the Borlang family? What is that?

Mefil: Ah~, that? The truth is my parents are believers in Volkruss.

Masaki: What!? Y-you... serious?

Mefil: Yes~. Oh, just so you know, I'm different. My parents were Shinto priests, but for some reason they joined Volkruss religion. They seemed to be working under Luzorl but 2 years ago in the battle with the Masoukishin Corps they died.

Masaki: You... You tell that sad story like nothing happened…

Mefil: Because 5 years ago I forfeited my parents after I learned about their actions~. Moreover, because many people are talking harshly about me until now, I already got used to it. Buuuut, even now the bad rumors haven't disappeared. Ahaha~.

Masaki: I see... I'm sorry for asking about it.

Mefil: I don't mind. But I think Tsrein-chan will immediately get angry when he hears this.

Masaki: Yeah, because you two are childhood friends right? He protected you until now?

Mefil: Yes~. He is younger than me but he is kind~.

Masaki: I see. You have a good friend. Well then, it's time for me to leave.

Mefil: Yes~. Good night~. 

#Scene 25#

Bradroy: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... …

Cherian: Captain, please calm down a little.

Bradroy: How can I stay calm? At last my ship bears the audience of his Majesty.

Mio: The captain hasn't imported such a strong emotion in this ship before?

Cherian: ...He said that's a man's romance.

Mio: Oh~, now I get it.

Cherian: You understand? Mio.

Mio: No but, you should protect it with a lukewarm eye.

Cherian: I see.

Bradroy: ...I'm very sensitive to nervousness. I'll leave the latter to you, vice captain.

Cherian: Yes, captain!

Mio: Are you nervous or you won't do it?

Cherian: How troublesome. Navigation officer, all sections check out?

Holy: Nothing abnormal. The engine is OK. Output also as planned.

Cherian: How is the weather?

Holy: The wind speed of south-southwest wind is 2, the sky is clear without snow.

Cherian: This is the best weather. Connect the broadcast inside the ship.

Holy: Microphone, inserted.

Cherian: Alright, as scheduled, this ship will take off in 5 more minutes. In 15 more minutes we'll begin the ceremony in the royal palace. We are short on practice but I'm looking forward to the result of all crew members. That is all.

Masaki: Eh, that was professional.

Cherian: Always, of course.

Bradroy: Hey, vice captain, are we finished checking?

Cherian: Yes, there is no problem.

Bradroy: Then, let's begin the departure.

Cherian: Wait a bit. 1 more minute.

Bradroy: I see…

Ryune: The captain is somewhat childish.

Tyutti: True.

Bradroy: Alright, it's time.

Cherian: Please see the clock. There are still 30 seconds.

Bradroy: I can't wait.

Cherian: I won't permit it. Countdown. 10, 9, 8, 7…

Bradroy: This is captain's order! Take off!

Holy: Eh!? Y, yes! Take off!

Cherian: Captain! That's 5 seconds early!

Bradroy: I don't care. It isn't necessary to proceed punctually in the battlefield.

Cherian: Even so…

Bradroy: Route 5-2-8. Port!

Toni: Route 5-2-8. Port!

Bradroy: Until altitude 200! Go.

Toni: Altitude 200. Go.

Bradroy: Yeah, good feeling.

Cherian: Good grief.

Tyutti: Hm, a flat-out ship captain beyond the rumor.

Mio: What rumor?

Tyutti: A story called laziness.

Bradroy: I don't neglect that.

Tyutti: Ah, captain... You've heard it?

Bradroy: I have very good hearing. Well, being called a lazy person is praise to me.

Mio: Really?

Bradroy: If everyone thinks that way, even if they are silent they can do many things for me, I can be at ease.

Mio: Uwa, you are really a lazy person.

Xenia: That is just right for a person steps above another person.

Wagener: Hm, I see. I must learn.

Xenia: Uncle, you don't need to learn that.

Masaki: Hey, I can see the royal palace. 

#Scene 26#

Cherian: Phew, we finished everything without any trouble.

Coret: There is a call from the royal palace.

Bradroy: From the king?

Coret: Yes.

Bradroy: Read it out loud.

Coret: To the heroic Hringhorni, take your power to seek peace for the whole world. I hereby make you the representative of the holy Langran kingdom, and bless from my heart the launch of Hringhorni. The 289th king of Langran kingdom, Quintinus Gran Billseia.

Bradroy: Your Majesty... Those are wasteful words.

Wagener: Hm, those are quotation from Nephros's anthology? He chose nice words.

Cherian: Representative Wagener, what should we do to reply?

Wagener: Well, then we also reply in the same way. To the venerable emperor, we appreciate and delight eternally in your words. We will risk our lives to conquer that road.

Cherian: Roger.

Coret: There is a call from the security unit!

Bradroy: A congratulatory telegram?

Coret: No! A duty request!

Cherian: Immediately after the ceremony? That case is naturally the action of the security unit.

Bradroy: What is the subject?

Coret: A request to be the bodyguard of the barrier maintenance device of Barrel mountain. Moreover from other information the security force plans to leave the scene.

Bradroy: Everywhere is lacking assistance. Did they announce the reward?

Cherian: We are confirming the amount.

Ryune: Is it the maintenance device of harmony barrier? Well, it's natural we should protect it.

Masaki: Right.

Wagener: Hm, there are no objections right? I'm afraid we need to be fast Captain. Please take the route to the barrier maintenance device.

Bradroy: Roger. 

Stage 5: Naval Review

#Scene 27 (Map)#

Masaki: The defense force already left.

Cherian: It happened just a while ago.

Bradroy: Don't drop your guard. There are lots of elementals around here. Even the elemental radar can't sense all of them.

Holy: There are reactions from the radar! There are no identification signals! Distance... 20!

Bradroy: As I thought they penetrated the blind spot... All members prepare to intercept!

Masaki: I prepared for that a long time ago!

Tyutti: Everyone, give priority to protecting the barrier maintenance device! Please don't forget that!

Mio: Roger!

Cherian: Enemy entering visible range!

Masaki: Those guys are... the terrorists from before.

Xenia: No mistake, the Svend.

Drep: There is no need to fight the Masoukis. Our target is only the barrier maintenance device!

Terrorist: Roger! 

[Mio vs Drep]

Drep: You are... Earthling?

Mio: Yeah, you have a similar character to Gen-chan right?

Drep: ? What does that mean?

Mio: It means there is no need for two muscle taciturn characters! 

[Drep vs Barrier Maintenance Device]

Drep: Target confirmed. Destroying. 

*Turn 2 enemy phrase*

Omgared: Everything goes well…

Masaki: Above the cliff is!?

Xenia: That Masouki is another new type!?

Wendy: That is... Svend Gehad!

Xenia: I-is that so!? Uwa, this is the first time I’m seeing a real one!

Masaki: This isn't time to be happy! Looking at it, that is a type that attacks at long distances!

Tyutti: Yeah, and if it is from there, the barrier is its target…

Masaki: That is bad! We need to hurry!

Omgared: It's useless, the dogs of the class system society. You're too late.

???: Fufufu…

Omgared: Eh!? Who are you!?

???: By the mercy of Buddha I won't let you spread evil to the whole world!

Tian: The ordinary self-conceit throughout heaven and earth! The incarnation of Buddha, Sanan Tian Prasat, arrives!!

Masaki: Old man Tian!? When did you…

Tian: This is the guidance of Buddha. Amen…

Omgared: A Dinforce? Our plan will be changed a bit but it'll be the same after all. Keep him over there.

Terrorist: Yes!

Masaki: If it is only Tian, I don't know how far he can go. Let's split into 2 groups!

Tyutti: Understood! 

*Next player's turn*

Ahmed: It seems we're still on time.

Simone: Long time no see! We came to help!

Masaki: Ahmed! Simone!

Ahmed: Hey, Tian also here.

Tian: Of course! I also came to help.

Ahmed: You don't need to tell us, we know you came here for that.

Simone: Leave them to us. 

[Tyutti vs Omgared]

Tyutti: You tempt to throw this world into chaos by destroying this device!?

Omgared: Of course. That is our favorite motive.

Tyutti: I'll never permit it! 

[Xenia vs Omgared]

Omgared: Xenia... The target, royalty of the class system!

Xenia: Even if the class system isn't perfect, why do you negate it now!?

Omgared: Because it is a worn-out, traditional evil custom! Democracy is the absolute right thought!

Xenia: That is a hard thought! You should study history!

Omgared: Do not confuse the issue with relics! My theory is perfect! My theory revolutionizes the world!

Xenia: Don't conceit that the world can be changed by one's own theory! 

[Omgared vs Barrier Maintenance Device]

Omgared: Ha... My idealism will come close to this. 

*Drep defeated*

Drep: I... I'm done! 

*Omgared defeated*

Omgared: We failed the mission... But we surely will learn from this. Withdraw! 

#Scene 28#

Wendy: There is scolding from the security unit.

Masaki: Scolding? We protected the barrier maintenance device right?

Wendy: But wasn't it received damage?

Ryune: It is true but... Could it be they're shorting the reward?

Wendy: I am afraid so.

Ryune: Uwa, that is the limit of stingy.

Ahmed: Sorry... If we came a bit earlier, we could have protected it.

Tian: It is useless to talk about what-ifs.

Cherian: I wonder if Mr.whoever tried harder a bit then we could succeed?

Tian: Simone, I've said such thing before. Are you gonna let me say it again?

Simone: ...Tian, that is your business.

Tian: Hey, that was a matter of the priest right? Oh, damn! Even to such a degree you don't understand to appreciate me, right Cherian-dono?

Cherian: I'm not sure if he is positive or he can't hear the inconvenient… A strange guy.

Tian: Please call me Tian. 

[Receive 10000 credits]

OR

Masaki: We were saved by Tian, Ahmed, and Simone.

Xenia: Everyone’s efforts kept the barrier device intact! We got a special bonus from the security division! 

[Receive 20000 credits]

Cherian: It worked. Thank you.

Tian: Well, there were also good tactics. You have a reliable crew.

Cherian: Thanks.

Tian: There are many beautiful women here. No, many holy goddesses.


Mio: As always, he’s a priest full of worldly desires.

Tyutti: By the way, Tian-san, you finished contacting the cabinet legislation bureau?

Tian: No problems at all. I came here after resolving everything.

Tyutti: Eh, really? That was fast.

Tian: It’s a waste of time to expound on the law. I just gagged them with preaching.

Tyutti: ...You confused them?

Tian: Maybe fibbed a little.

Mio: You shouldn't do that priest-san.

Tian: What are you saying? Even in Lotus Sutra there are lies every one or two chapters.

Mio: Tian-san is unbeatable in such terms.

Tian: If you said that you have a glib tongue (a word play).

Cherian: Good grief... A flowery speaker.

Tian: Priests not only have mouths. Smooth talking follows real ability. You said that before right Cherian-san?

Cherian: Y-yeah but…

Tian: How about it? Wanna experience the deepest level of our tantra with your own body?

Cherian: Tantra?

Mio: ...Dirty, dirty joke.

Bradroy: Priest! If you want to date my daughter, you have to ask me first.

Tian: ...Daughter?

Cherian: ...A foolish dad.

Tian: Oh, so that's it, captain. No, should I call you father?

Bradroy: ...Father? Unforgivable! I'll never give my daughter to that old man!

Tian: I'm 25!

Masaki: Ah, it’s noisy! Let's end the nonsense here and return to the capital.

Wendy: Right. We also have to turn in our job.

Cherian: Roger. Ok everyone, return to your stations.

Bradroy: I’m not done!

Cherian: ...I hate you so much. 

#Scene 29#

Ryune: Oh... Delicious! These are delicacies!

Masaki: My curry is also here... I didn't think I could eat such a thing here.

Ryune: Really? You ate it in one mouthful.

Masaki: Yeah, tastes good… What's that?

Ryune: Open your mouth. I'll feed you.

Masaki: Nope! I'll take the spoon over there and eat by myself!

Ryune: ...Meanie.

???: How is that? Do the tastes suit you, customers?

Masaki: Ah, er... You're Sato-san?

Sato: I'm Sato Zania Koozuker. I am as old as I look so just call me madam.

Masaki: Madam, you are the chef?

Sato: Yes, but there will be some other people on duty.

Ryune: ...Does Tyutti join that duty? (Tyutti is a terrible cook)

Sato: Ah, that sweet looking lady? Don't worry, she doesn't join in.

Masaki: That is for the best.

Tyutti: Hey, so you two are here. I heard my name…

Masaki: Oh it is nothing. Right, Ryune?

Ryune: Yeah yeah, it was just your imagination.

Tyutti: I hope you are right… Ah, right, you two take this.

Masaki: Eh? What is this?

Ryune: Ah, medal?

Tyutti: Right, it is a mark to the Antilles Corps.

Masaki: You wear it around the neck? Uh? It is hard to wear.

Ryune: I'll put it on for you.

Masaki: No, I'll do it myself.

Ryune: No. It wraps around. You have to wear it properly.

Tyutti: Haha, so charming. Good, youngsters.

Masaki: Don't smirk! Moreover, why is that thing needed?

Tyutti: What are you saying? That is an ID. If you don't wear that, you won't receive protection.

Ryune: It is an ID of Antilles Corps. There were similar things in the DC.

Masaki: When I was doing many things on the surface, we didn’t really use these things…

Ryune: Because at that time there were many special cases. An organization of civilian fighters usually doesn't get approval. Only guerrilla tactics allowed.

Masaki: I see.

Ryune: Yes, I'm done. It suits you, Masaki.

Masaki: Oh yeah, thank you.

Ryune: …

Masaki: ...? What, Ryune. It’s on. Get away from me.

Ryune: …

Masaki: That's why! Why are you getting in so close…

Tyutti: Ryune, it is good to be assertive but have you forgotten me and Sato-san also watching?

Ryune: ...No, I was just careless.

Masaki: Ah, ah, now that you mention it, I haven't seen Mio. She made a fuss a while ago.

Tyutti: Mio together with Gennadii went to negotiate with the Langran Department of Defense.

Masaki: Negotiation? By those two? About what?

Tyutti: If we take the role of supporting foreign countries, we can earn extra money.

Masaki: ...I hope nothing happens to them.

Tyutti: They are more reliable than you Masaki.

Masaki: Damn.

Tyutti: Well, because I have to report to the security unit, I'm gonna leave the ship for a while.

Masaki: What, you too Tyutti? Even though we took the trouble gathering everyone.

Tyutti: It can't be helped. Since the Antilles Corps has begun moving, many adjustments are necessary.

Masaki: That is tiresome... 

#Scene 30#

Xenia: Ah, as I thought it won't work.

Wendy: Even Xenia-sama can't do it?

Xenia: Well, he’s in the capital Ariel kingdom. We don't have any more time…

Wendy: Even though we tried contacting him from here there is no reply.

Xenia: They haven’t signed a treaty. We have no authority with them. We’re useless if we’re stuck here.

Wendy: Why don't we try working together with the Langran government?

Xenia: Right... Because we need more information, let's contact them.

Wendy: Understood. But I think it needs more time.

Xenia: Ariel kingdom... We must carefully investigate them at once. 

#Scene 31#

Masaki: Go shopping?

Ryune: Right. As Sato-san's guard.

Masaki: What do you mean by guard? We’re only buying things right?

Sato: It means you carry the luggage and guard. For your large meal, it is just the right price tag.

Masaki: O-old lady.

Ryune: Hey, don’t be rude.

Masaki: Ah... Ok... But, old ladies don't need to take the trouble to going shopping themselves right?

Sato: What are you saying? I can't make delicious food if I can't verify the ingredients with my own eye.

Masaki: Ok, Ok. If you talk about food the story won't end.

Sato: Then, I'm going to prepare the cart. Please come to the hangar.

Masaki: Ok. 

#Scene 32#

Masaki: Phew. This is all, right?

Sato: Yeah, thank you for your hard work. I'll transport this to the warship, you two can take a rest here.

Ryune: Eh? Really?

Sato: That is the reward for helping me. Once in a while, you two can go around and shop or something.

Ryune: Thank you, Sato-san! Let's go! Masaki!

Masaki: H-hey! Don't pull me!

Sato: Haha, it is good to be young.

Ryune: Ah, Hey! Let's buy this! It looks tasty!

Masaki: Understood, understood. Let go of my hand! It hurts.

Ryune: Ah... Sorry.

Masaki: Good grief... You left an imprint in my hand.

Ryune: Eh!? Ah… Sorry, Masaki... I'm too excited…

Masaki: Good grief, you have enormous strength. Think about that a bit.

Ryune: Yeah... Sorry.

Masaki: Uh... Ah, no, well, that… Ah, hey, you wanted that right? I'll give you a treat.

Ryune: Y-yeah…

Masaki: J-just... don't be so stiff!

Ryune: ...Yeah.

Masaki: Ah, I'm buying one for me too. Wait for me a bit…

???: Customer, you should stop there.

Masaki: Eh? Who are you?

???: I can see that grapas (wth is that???) doesn't have good sauce. I know of more tasty grapas.

Masaki: What, are you a barker?

???: I speak with kindness. I'm sure Miss overthere will smile with that.

Masaki: ...Hm, if you say so let's test it at once.

???: You're smart. The price is also cheaper. Follow me, this way.

Masaki: Well. Let's go, Ryune.

Ryune: ...Yeah. 

#Scene 33#

Masaki: ...It is in this backstreet?

???: Yeah, because here the rent price is cheaper. In exchange for that, the taste is guaranteed.

Masaki: Hm, a well-kept-secret thing. But, isn’t time we stop? ...It seems no one else is here.

???: ...Eh? You noticed?

Masaki: Of course, from the beginning. You are too suspicious. Don't underestimate us.

???: I don't underestimate you. Even in the slightest. I'm dealing with Masoukishin's pilots. I've prepared for all cases…

Ryune: We will attack first!

???: Phew phew, at least let me introduce my name?

Masaki: We'll listen to you as much as you like. That is, after we’ve grabbed you!

???: Oh, you have martial arts from the surface? But your kick has a wide gap. Your posture collapses…

Ryune: Don't forget me!

???: I see. That's a good combination.

Ryune: Of course! Me and Masaki are on the same wavelength.

???: Great. But it is only confidence that comes along from falling into a trap I made.

Masaki: Damn... He is fast. Ryune!

Ryune: Gotcha!

???: You think two of you can win? ...Naive.

Masaki: Feel free to talk big! My speed and Ryune's power will…

Ryune: Ouch!? W-what is that!? My feet are…

???: Haven't I said I came prepared?

Masaki: Hey, hey, Ryune!?

???: Too late!

Ryune: Shit!?

Kuro: Nyauh!!

???: Uh!?

Shiro: Shadow locking... If he’s using a technique of such skill...!

Ryune: Ah... I'm free again! Thanks, Shiro!

Shiro: Oh it's nothing.

???: ...They untied it? I can't believe familiars have the power to destroy such technique.

Kuro: That is because Masaki can't do anything about that.

Shiro: We have to be tough.

Masaki: You two talk too much!

???: Well then, I have to crush you with force!

Masaki: Ah, stop! Don't run!!

???: Who’s escaping? Come! Reisouki Jiwen!

Masaki: What!? That bastard, called a Masouki in this town…

Ryune: Hringhorni, can you hear me!? Send out Cybuster and Valsione to our coordinate!

Cherian: Roger that. We also confirmed a mysterious Masouki from here. We'll send Cybuster and Valsione at once!

Xenia: Masaki, Ryune! Hang on! After we finish preparing, we will sortie too!

Masaki: Got that!

Ryune: !! Here comes Valsione!

Masaki: That was quick. Let's go!

Ryune: Ok! 

Stage 6: Volkruss's Quickening

#Scene 34 (Map)#

???: That was quick... Even though they just launched, Antilles Corps's highly skilled…

Ryune: ...That Masouki is somewhat unpleasant.

Masaki: Yeah, that feeling... it’s familiar.

Gaen: It is late but let me introduce myself. I'm Gaen. I currently belong to the executive force of the Church of Volkruss.

Masaki: Church of Volkruss... I thought so before.

Ryune: Good grief, just how many times do I have to remember Volkruss!

Gaen: As many times as you oppose us... Why do you oppose us?

Masaki: It’s because we can't overlook you summoning that monster!?

Gaen: Monster? You are foolish for not accepting a God.

Masaki: You are more foolish with that rhetoric! Who is a God!? That thing is just a mass of malice!

Gaen: How dare you insult Volkruss-sama!

Masaki: You have clearly confronted that monster right!? That is God!? You make me laugh!!

Gaen: Mu…

Masaki: In short, because you can't do anything, you completely worship and say that monster is a God!!

Gaen: How dare you... I'm gonna shut your mouth! A rude person who doesn't fear God!

Masaki: I’d never fear that thing!

Gaen: Then, I shall spread fear to the people of this town.

Masaki: What!?

Ryune: Uwa... Demon Golems again?

Masaki: How annoying.

Kuro: This isn't the time to say that!

Shiro: Those guys are aiming at the city!

Masaki: Say what!? That is bad. Let's protect the town!

Ryune: Roger! 

[Demon Golems attacks the city]

Masaki: Damn, they came from that area!

Kuro: Masaki! Please command properly!

Masaki: Understood! 

*Turn 3 player phrase*

Xenia: What is that... It isn't a normal Masouki... It is even different from Jureiki... What on earth is it?

Kuro: Gaen said it is Reisouki Jiwen.

Xenia: Reisouki Jiwen... So It's a Masouki created by the Volkruss Church? What is its armor made of? Its source of power?

Tian: Xenia-dono, this isn't the case to talk about such things. We have to protect the city.

Xenia: Oh yeah. 

[Masaki vs Gaen]

Masaki: I'll end the settlement from before!

Gaen: Oh, you want revenge by Masouki to settle our match from before?

Masaki: Say what!? Just so you know the one from before was a break! It doesn't count!

Gaen: Hm, even though you were saved by familiars you still talk big. 

[Ryune vs Gaen]

Ryune: Good grief! Even though it was my long awaited chance you destroyed it splendidly!

Gaen: You say it was a good atmosphere?

Ryune: Right! It is a date with only two people!

Gaen: Oh, on the surface they call this contest a date?

Ryune: S-shut up! 

[Xenia vs Gaen]

Xenia: Reisouki Jiwen! Wait! Please give it to me!

Gaen: ...wth are you saying?

Xenia: Even I've to use all my force I'll obtain it!

Gaen: ...Who are you? 

*Gaen defeated*

Gaen: Damn... As expected Jiwen can't fight this many enemies…

  1. Scene 35#
  • If at least one building was destroyed*

Wagener: Uh, the town was damaged a little.

Charian: The public order complained. We received the reward more or less, but some was deducted for repair costs.

Ryune: Oops…

[Receive 10000 credits]

  • If no building destroyed*

Wagener: You guys did well. Damages of the city here and there but they're almost near zero.

Sato: There’s a bonus from the security bureau. We're considered an investment.

Xenia: Yes!

[Receive 30000 credits]

Becky: But, another new enemy appeared again.

Wendy: The Reisouki Jiwen... It is real.

Masaki: Eh? You know it, Wendy?

Wendy: Only its name. This is my first time seeing the real thing.

Xenia: Uh... I want to see it closer! I want to touch it! Analyze it! Masaki! Please capture it intact!

Masaki: Don’t be unreasonable! That guy is very strong.

Wagener: Hmm, so the enemy called himself Gaen?

Masaki: Eh? Could it be, you know him?

Wagener: No. Gaen is the name of a judgement God appears in Langran's mythology.

Xenia: It is unmistakably an alias. Usually we don't use that name.

Masaki: Xenia, how large is the Church of Volkruss?

Xenia: Ah... Sorry. I also don't know that. Those guys are very mysterious.

Wendy: But from the rumor, they seem to be a very large organization...

Xenia: They are also involved with lots of conspiracies so it is very difficult to catch them.

Masaki: I see... But, we confirmed that the guy called Gaen is really one of them.

Xenia: ...Yeah, right. I’ve made up my mind!

Masaki: Eh? What's wrong Xenia? You decided what? Xenia: Haha. It is now a secret. Well, you're gonna love it.

Masaki: ? What? Well, I don't care.

  1. Scene 36#

Wendy: Masaki... Er.

Masaki: Eh? What's wrong Wendy?

Wendy: Well, it isn't a problem but... Can I ask you something?

Masaki: What? You don't have to be like that since we know each other well. What do you want to ask?

Wendy: Er... You went off with Ryune to shop today right?

Masaki: Yeah, we took advantage of carrying Sato’s luggage. Well, we planned to shop but Gaen attacked so you see, we ended up not buying anything.

Wendy: R-really?

Masaki: Yeah.

Wendy: W-well, THEN, after that...

Masaki: Eh?

Wendy: I-it is not important to me but... Well, but I...

Becky: Ah, I am in a muck of sweat! What a wonderful sauna!

Masaki: Eh!? B-Becky!? Wear your clothes!

Becky: Eh? What are you talking about? I'm wearing my clothes.

Masaki: Below you, below!

Becky: ? I'm covered?

Masaki: You’re only wearing underwear!

Becky: I don't care, don't care. The screen can't see me.

Masaki: You should care anyway!

Becky: On top of that, what are you two mumbling about? Maybe, a date?

Wendy: No not that. That is…

Masaki: A shopping story... Today, Ryune took advantage of carrying luggage to turn it into a date.

Wendy: R-R!-Really?

Becky: ...Oops, that's bad to hear.

Wendy: N-no, I don't mind it.

Becky: Sorry, Wendy-san. To make up for it I'll give you a proper treatment.

Wendy: Eh?

Becky: Don't worry, don't worry. Trust me. I’ll give you the perfect set up.

Wendy: O-Ok, I don't mind it particularly.

Masaki: Setting? What is that?

Becky: Fuhfuhfuh.... Well, I wonder?

Masaki: ...What are you planning?

Becky: Well well, it isn't bad at all. You will understand sooner or later.

Masaki: Good grief... What a day. Xenia as well as Becky... 

#Scene 37#

Sato: No matter how many times the princess suggests it, nothing comes from nothing.

Xenia: Stop calling me princess.

Sato: It is too late for me to change, you'll always be “princess” to me.

Xenia: Then, because I accept that, in exchange for the budget…

Sato: That is a different story.

Masaki: What is that? What's wrong?

Sato: Nothing wrong. The princess is being unreasonable…

Xenia: I know it is unreasonable. Can we do something about it?

Sato: It just isn’t in the cards.

Xenia: By no means?

Sato: Right.

Xenia: Uu…

Masaki: What are you two talking about?

Sato: The princess wants more money.

Masaki: Money? Ah, which reminds me, old lady also works as our accountant, right? What do you want the budget for?

Xenia: ...Secret information expense.

Masaki: Secret information expense? You say we should hire a spy?

Xenia: That is also possible but money is crucial for me to gather more information.

Masaki: Isn't it enough for you to use Dukakis and investigate via the net?

Xenia: Naive! You are naive about Dukakis's abilities!

Masaki: W-what!?

Xenia: Collecting information doesn't mean just gathering it. If you only care about quantity, it is no problem collecting no matter how much there is… If we don't classify them, analyze them properly they're useless.

Masaki: Classify, analyze huh? Dukakis can't do that?

Xenia: I didn't say it can't but it can do no better than you, Masaki.

Masaki: ...You mean that as an indirect way of calling me an idiot?

Tyutti: I understand the impulse but I think you’ve grown quite a bit Masaki.

Masaki: Wow, you've returned Tyutti.

Tyutti: I somehow handled it. On top of that, I heard the pitch of secret information expense, or am I wrong?

Xenia: Yeah, you are right but the budget is…

Tyutti: If you talk about temporary cost, somehow we can do it, Xenia-sama.

Xenia: Eh? Really?

Tyutti: Right. The truth is I received a request from the department of defense... Please listen to this lady for the details.

Folch: Nice to meet you. I'm a contractor from the government, chief of inspection, Folch Seolla Megistus. Best regards.

Masaki: Chief of inspection?

Tyutti: She is an officer doing reports, the result of investigation and the progress at the time there are requests from the government.

Masaki: In short she is a watchdog?

Folch: Since we offer money, it is natural.

Masaki: Well, are we good? Because we're doing nothing shady here. By the way, did you mention an investigation request?

Folch: We haven't confirmed it yet but we discovered a historic ruin that looks like Volkruss temple. We trust the investigation to the Antilles Corp.

Masaki: Volkruss again... Can we destroy Volkruss completely?

Xenia: No we can't. According to the legend of Randole the Sword God, the best we can do is seal it.

Masaki: Randole...? He did it by himself?

Xenia: In mythology.

Masaki: But even if he sealed it, it will resurrect again?

Xenia: But the existence of Volkruss hasn't been verified for more than 4000 years. Even 1000 years ago we couldn't tell if it is true or not. Isn't it enough that for that long period there are no signs of him?

Masaki: Hmm... I have no blood ties but more or less I'm taking the role of my named ancestor... I'm a bit embarrassed.

Xenia: It is better than the name Masaki.

Masaki: Uh... Well, I approve that.

Xenia: The temple of Volkruss... It seems the Volkruss church also made their moves.

Masaki: We still don't know them well.

Xenia: Don't you think it feels like the work of someone else? Like we are being aimed.

Masaki: Eh? Really?

Xenia: Have you already forgotten we were specifically targeted the other day?

Masaki: Eh? Ah... That?

Xenia: You didn’t put it together. That's why you’re not tense.

Masaki: I'm sorry. The next time I'll make sure I don't repeat it.

Xenia: By the way, chief of inspection Folch, how much cash do we get for this investigation?

Folch: We will send the exact estimation later on but, if you want to know the rough estimation then I'll tell you. Since it is privacy, come closer…

Xenia: Yeah yeah… Eh! That much? I see~... The government is also acting drastically.

Masaki: Hey, how much will we receive?

Xenia: Se-cr-et.

Masaki: Hey hey, that's not fair.

Xenia: Well well, have faith and trust me. I shall do everything for the best.

Masaki: Hmm... Well, I understand Xenia but what about Tyutti?

Tyutti: I also agree with Xenia-sama. Espionage is necessary. I think Mio and Yanglong also thought the same.

Masaki: I see. Then I will not object. How about the Representative?

Xenia: Uncle didn't reject. He said he trusts me.

Masaki: ...You are too good at making deals.

Folch: Secret information expense... right? Are you going to establish a facility?

Xenia: Se-cr-et.

Folch: I see. No, I don't plan to pry. Just my own curiosity.

Xenia: Then, let's hurry and investigate. Let's eat the fallen apple immediately. I'm counting on you, Captain.

Bradroy: …

Charian: Wake up, Captain!

Bradroy: Eh!? O, oh! I'm awake, I'm awake.

Charian: ...Then, give the orders, Captain.

Bradroy: Ah... Leave it to me, Vice-captain.

Charian: You are always like that... Navigation officer, verify the route.

Holy: Verifying route. Input complete.

Charian: Roger. Then…

Bradroy: Hringhorni, take off!

Toni: Hringhorni, take off!

Charian: ...After all, you only wanted to say that? 

#Scene 38#
  • Kapphisu basin, temple*

Coret: Elemental radar responses! Some people are fighting in the temple!

Bradroy: And the identification signal?

Coret: Analyzing…

Ah! One side is the Reisouki Jiwen!

Masaki: Gaen!?

Coret: Another machine is... Granzon!?

Masaki: Shu!?

Bradroy: Prepare to engage everyone! Send out the Masoukis on my order!

Masaki: Got that! Let's go!

Stage 7: Betrayal

  1. Scene 39 (Map)#

Gaen: Silence! Traitor!

Shu: I only follow my heart. Why don't you do that?

Gaen: What a joke! What will you obtain after throwing away the position of archbishop that serves God?

Shu: Isn't it obvious? Freedom.

Gaen: Freedom... is nothing more than illusion!

Shu: Oh... an illusion? Kuhkuhkuh…

Gaen: What so funny?

Shu: No no, it is fine if you don't mind. Somehow you're a bit like me.

Gaen: Impossible! You compare me to an apostate!?

Shu: You really believe in God?

Gaen: ...Stupid! I don't plan to debate with you.

Shu: I see. That is just right. We have visitors.

Gaen: What!?

Gaen: Antilles Corp...? You found this place?

Shu: Then, I'll leave the scene to them. I'm outta here.

Gaen: Wait!! I'll never forgive you!!

Shu: Am I truly the one who can’t be forgiven?

Gaen: What...? What do you mean!?

Shu: That is, try to listen to your heart. Who are you? What are you after...?

Gaen: You... understand something I don’t?

Shu: Yeah. Why have you hidden yourself until now?

Masaki: Shu!! You intend to get in our way again!?

Shu: No, I have different business this time. Gaen, I'll grant your wish. You want to see God right?

Gaen: ... You can do that?

Shu: If you meet me in person later, I'll let you see. Then, excuse me.

Gaen: Shu!!

Masaki: Damn, Shu you bastard, you ran away again... Good riddance, disappear!

Gaen: ...Antilles Corp? I won't let you interfere.

Ryune: Ghost soldiers... Those guys are a bit tough.

Tyutti: Yeah, we have to be careful. Let's go!

  • Turn 3*

Gaen: You are late, Wulf.

Wulf: You failed to catch Shu?

Gaen: Because they were getting in my way.

Wulf: I see... Well fine anyway. If we take down Antilles Corp all will be forgiven.

Gaen: Forgiven? What does that mean?

Wulf: Your failure. If that is the case, of course you'll receive punishment.

Gaen: I haven’t failed! There is still time...

Wulf: Let's talk after we took them down. Is that Ok?

Gaen: ...Understood.

Masaki: We’ve got a newcomer!

Wulf: You are Masaki Ando? My name is Wulf. If I give out my name in purgatory, even Volkruss-sama will take notice.

Xenia: You said Wulf... Another one who uses the name of a God!?

Wulf: Wulf is not God. It is nothing more than a dark believer.

Prescia: T... That guy!?

Masaki: What's wrong, Prescia?

Prescia: That guy... I've met him before…

Masaki: What!?

Prescia: 6 years ago, when I accompanied my father's work, we encountered an ambush…

Masaki: Ambush?

Prescia: Yeah, I think it was a guard job. That time, that guy fought my dad... Eh? Eh? After that... What happened?

Masaki: You can't remember?

Prescia: Y... Yeah.

Wulf: Oh... The girl from that time?

Prescia: A-anyhow! He is an assassin of The Church of Volkruss!

Wulf: ...I haven't forgotten the humiliation of that time. Together with the injury in my left eye. 

[Masaki vs Gaen]

Masaki: What did Shu and you talk about!?

Gaen: ...That is none of your business. 

[Masaki vs Wulf]

Masaki: You also belong to the executive force of the Volkruss church!?

Wulf: Right. I won't let the enemy of Volkruss-sama return alive!

Masaki: Shut up! 

[Ryune vs Gaen]

Ryune: I'll make you taste the bitterness of our date's failure this time!

Gaen: ...What a vengeful girl. 

[Xenia vs Gaen]

Xenia: Now, be obedient and hand me over the Jiwen!

Gaen: wth are you talking about?

Xenia: It is a waste for you to use! I'll disintegrate and check it completely for you! That's why, give it to me!

Gaen: ...Fool. Why I've to listen to you? 

[Xenia vs Wulf]

Xenia: Another Jiwen! If there are two of them, I'll just get one!

Wulf: What selfish thing are you saying? You think you can beat me with your power? 

[Prescia vs Wulf]

Wulf: You are the daughter of Zenosakis, the old enemy of God...?

Prescia: S-so what!?

Wulf: Die! 

*Gaen defeated*

Gaen: ...So I can only make it this far. Fine, I'll withdraw for now. ....Just you wait, Shu. 

*Wulf defeated*

Wulf: What... I can't believe this is as far I can go. I made light of them. I'll be back.

  1. Scene 40#

Masaki: Volkruss temple huh...? As far as, it is only an abandoned castle.

Tyutti: If it is a Volkruss temple, it would be connected with the market and underground. This abandoned castle is a different ruin. It is only a camouflage.

Xenia: How is the response of the underground?

Tian: Please wait a bit longer. I'm investigating now.

Becky: Well, if I’m not mistaken there must be something here since Shu and the Church of Volkruss came here right?

Masaki: Which reminds me, this time that bastard Shu didn't oppose us... wth is he planning...?

Tian: Hey! There is a response! This is... another big cave.

Tyutti: What about the entrance?

Tian: Leave it to me, Tyutti-dono! It is a piece of cake for me!

Shu: Hmm, the left-upper is the correct one.

Tian: Yeah! This is it! I found it… Uoh!? You are!?

Masaki: Shu!? When did you…

Shu: You shouldn't be so careless, everyone. There are a lot of men in the Church of the Church of Volkruss who can use the same technique as me. You could be killed any time.

Tyutti: The technique of invisibility…

Shu: Right.

Masaki: You came to get in our way again!?

Shu: ...I've said I don't mind that a while ago right? I had some slight difficulty since last time so I've had to act thusly, but now the situation is different.

Xenia: Then what are you here for, Christoph!

Shu: Because there is a person who wants to meet you guys. You can come out now.

Gaen: …

Masaki: Gaen!? You!!

Shu: Calm down, Masaki. He came to surrender.

Masaki: Surrender... You say?

Gaen: Right. Can’t you see I didn't bring any weapon? I also didn’t bring the Jiwen..

Xenia: Jiwen is here!?

Gaen: Y-yeah.

Xenia: Let me see! Let me touch! Let me analyze it!

Masaki: Calm down, Xenia.

Xenia: ... I can’t believe I was told that by Masaki.

Masaki: If I see you excited, I will come to my senses. By the way, are you serious about surrender?

Gaen: Isn't it in bad taste if I'm joking?

Masaki: If you’re bluffing, you are a very good actor.

Shu: I can guarantee his feelings are true.

Masaki: I'm not convinced with your just your guarantee. I haven't forgotten the betrayal from before.

Shu: How couldI forget? Incidentally, I want you to remember I never actually lied to you.

Masaki: ...Your expression is hard to understand.

Tyutti: But we can't take him into custody in the Antilles Corp. We would deliver you to the Langran government that put you under their wanted list... Is that okay?

Gaen: I've been prepared for that from the beginning. I won't regret it even if they decide to give me death penalty.

Masaki: If you prepared that much, why did you quit the Church of Volkruss? I really don't understand.

Gaen: ...There is no God. That reason is plenty.

Masaki: What?

Shu: He discovered the truth. That's all.

Masaki: Did you do something?

Shu: I just pushed his back a bit. Originally, he was a skeptical guy.

Masaki: So at last you realized you were tricked by a bad God?

Gaen: I can't explain it to you with your limited knowledge.

Masaki: ...Even when you surrender, you still act big.

Shu: How long will we continue to discuss this? Is there a guest room in Hringhorni?

Masaki: What now? You wanted to ride Hringhorni? Then why didn’t you speak up earlier?

Shu: ...Please stop carelessly thinking of lowering your opponents to your own level.

Masaki: Yeah yeah, your level is high alright.

Tyutti: What Shu said is best. I invite you both to the Hringhorni.

  1. Scene 41#

Wagener: Then, I'll confirm once more. You'll be put under the custody of the Langran government. Is that acceptable?

Gaen: Yeah.

Xenia: I'll take the Jiwen! I won't return it even if you complain!

Gaen: Do as you like.

Xenia: Yes!

Wagener: Then, sign in the arbitration agreement.

Gaen: ...That's all?

Wagener: Yeah, that's enough. If you wish, provide you a lawyer but…

Gaen: There is no need for that. I won’t ask to be put under public trial in the first place.

Wagener: I see. I have nothing to say if you have prepared that much. I'll pray for plea bargaining.

Gaen: ...Pray huh? That is useless.

Wagener: Since we will investigate the ruins soon, we can't leave this place yet. At that time, I'll have to put you in a cell, is that acceptable?

Gaen: I don't mind.

  1. Scene 42#

Shu: Oh? You are…

Prescia: !? Shu…

Shu: What a coincidence. You always hid yourself until now.

Prescia: ...Because I didn’t want to meet you.

Shu: ...I see.

Prescia: ...I'm different from Brother.

Shu: …

Prescia: I will never forgive you…

Shu: ...I understand. I'll leave the ship soon. If you have business with me, be quick.

Prescia: ...

  1. Scene 43#

Xenia: Wow... They even created such a thing.

Wendy: I heard the design is 50 years old…

Xenia: This is seriously the work of a genius.

Wendy: Yeah... I didn't think of this idea.

Xenia: How many patents could we make with this past alone… It is such a waste, shall we do it?

Wendy: I'm alright with it but... But even if we took on the patent, don't forget that it doesn't mean we can limit the production of Reisouki.

Xenia: Ahaha, I understand. Law is meaningless to those guys. By the way, just between us, if we sell this to the Langran government, how much do you think we can get?

Wendy: I think no less than a dozen billion.

Xenia: Indeed. With that much, we can strengthen the information facility and increase security personnel.

Wendy: It would certainly be profitable... But I’d feel a bit guilty. Moreover, because some touch the taboo subjects at the academy, if we don't exclude them...

  1. Scene 44#

Shu: What a romantic conversation.

Xenia: Christoph, what are you here for?

Shu: I'm going to leave the ship. My business is done here.

Xenia: I see. Then, bye.

Shu: …

Xenia: What are you doing... Quickly, jump in your Granzon and leave.

Shu: Why can't you let go?

Xenia: What are you saying?

Shu: No, don't mind me. I was rejected by a female.

Xenia: Quit joking. It does not make sense.

Shu: Take care then. Bye.

Xenia: Good grief... Monica, what do you see in that man?

Wendy: Hey, Prescia. What's wrong?

Prescia: Eh? E-er... Shu, where is he?

Xenia: He just left a short time ago. You have something to talk to him about?

Prescia: N-no... Good then.

Wendy: ...Prescia.

Prescia: Eh? What?

Wendy: I won’t say you should forgive him. But, try to accept that he is different from before.

Prescia: ... 

#Scene 45#

Masaki: Hey, did you see Prescia?

Ryune: Eh? Prescia? If I remember correctly, she headed to the hangar a while ago…

Masaki: Hangar?

Ryune: You have something to talk to her about?

Masaki: Ah, no, nothing important… No, wait. The hangar?

Ryune: ? What's wrong with the hangar?

Masaki: Could it be... she went to meet Shu? This is bad!

Ryune: Ah, wait, Masaki!? Why is he panicking...? I wonder…

Masaki: Is Prescia here!?

Wendy: Kyah!? You made me surprised... Why are you panicking?

Masaki: Where is Prescia!?

Wendy: Prescia was adjusting the Diablo a while ago, she went out but…

Masaki: And Shu!?

Wendy: Shu left just a little before that.

Masaki: Don't tell me… Wendy, is Cybuster ready?

Wendy: Yeah, no problem but... Are you thinking she was chasing Shu?

Masaki: Yeah! I do! ...? Why did you know that?

Wendy: That is, well… Uh, I don't think you should worry.

Masaki: Why?

Wendy: Prescia is more mature than you think. She won't repeat the nonsense like running away from home like before.

Masaki: But she left just right after Shu left right!?

Wendy: Yes and no... It seems she cannot make up her mind.

Masaki: But…

Wendy: If you are that worried, let's follow her.

Masaki: I'm thinking of that but... What are you doing Wendy?

Wendy: I must prepare a sub seat for Cybuster.

Masaki: You thinking of coming with me!?

Wendy: Of course. Right, Ryune?

Masaki: Eh? Ryune?

Ryune: Tee-hee, you found me...

Masaki: Ryune!? Don't tell me even you…

Ryune: Right. Let's go together.

Masaki: Wait! Why are you two together...?

Ryune: Because you are alone right Masaki? You will be lost with your sense of direction.

Wendy: Since Masaki can't see anything else when it comes to Prescia…

Ryune: Why don't you give that passion to us a bit more?

Masaki: ...I got it! Have it your way, good grief!


Stage 8: The Unforgiven One

  1. Scene 46 (Map)#

Shu: ...Hey. How long do you intend to hide yourself?

Prescia: …

Shu: If you separate from Hringhorni longer than this, it will be too late for you to return. If you have business with me, let's do it quickly.

Prescia: …

Shu: ...Good grief.

Prescia: ...Fight me.

Shu: Oh, finally you speak. But... fight you?

Prescia: ...I will challenge you as a daughter of Zeoroot Xan Zenosakis!

Shu: I see. But, there is a vast difference in terms of power between Diablo and Granzon. Don't you feel it is unequal?

Prescia: My father fought you in Zeolast even though he knew THAT!

Shu: ...Understood. Then, I'll accept your challenge.

Prescia: Let's go!!

[Diablo attacks Granzon]

Prescia: I'm not yet finished!!

[Attack again]

Prescia: Stop mocking me! Attack!

Shu: No mockery intended. Even if you want to fight me, I don’t. That's all.

Prescia: Now that is mocking!

Shu: Maybe you won't believe me... but I respected your father.

Prescia: Eh!?

Shu: At that time, he challenged me and broke my invincible distortion field… His strong will and ability are engraved in my mind even now.

Prescia: That's why... I'll NEVER forgive you!

Shu: I know. Whether to forgive or not depends on you. I don't expect you to. Even if you don't forgive me, I don't mind. I just simply accept it.

Prescia: That way of speaking is... you’re looking down on me…

Shu: ...I repeat. I respected your father. Even now my skill is way below him. Maybe someday I can reach his level but…

Prescia: …

Shu: Confronting the daughter of such a man, I have no intention to look down on her.

Prescia: Then fight me! Counter me!

Shu: Didn't you notice? The skill I used a while ago… That is the skill Zeoroot used to fight me in the past.

Prescia: Eh...?

Shu: You can't counter it, but all moves will be negated... It is the secret of God eternity style.

Prescia: That is... my father's technique…

Shu: If you want to master it, try to learn while I use it. I will try to move like your father.

Prescia: The technique of God eternity style… ...Let's do it!

Shu: Yeah, come on.

Prescia: !? That is…

Shu: Oh... Splendid. Just now you saw through my swordsmanship.

Prescia: So that is father's technique: God eternity style…

Shu: Do you understand now? That is the technique I received from your father. And now, I pass it to you.

Prescia: Passed down from my father…

Shu: Then, I believe that is done. Is there anything else you want?

Prescia: ...That's enough.

Shu: Really...?

Prescia: I haven't forgiven you. But, I think my revenge should end here.

Shu: Thank you. I'm happy to get rid of menaces, even if it is only one, since I seem to be a favorite target.

Prescia: ...Just so you now, I have no intentions to make friends with you.

Shu: I'm okay with that. Then, we're settled but… What will we do with that person over there?

Prescia: Eh? That way you say...?

Wulf: Hmph... I was detected at last.

Shu: Of course. Even if you use the skill of invisibility, that distance close enough for me.

Prescia: Wulf!?

Wulf: ...Good grief, I was so close to kill you but it turned out to be an awful farce.

Shu: Attempt to beat a person who is fighting and wounded... That thinking is distasteful.

Wulf: As for an assassin, fighting directly is inelegant.

Shu: Then, you will use that inelegance on us?

Wulf: Fu... Fighting directly is no fun. I prepared this thing!

Shu: That is...a shadow of Volkruss…

Wulf: I have a deep bond with Volkruss-sama... I have no problem manifesting his image.

Prescia: (Ugh...Again, that feeling...)

Shu: Hmm... But it obviously lacks power. An imperfect image.

Wulf: Even so, it is enough to deal with you two.

Shu: It can't be helped... We must protect yourself against any possible danger.

Prescia: I haven't agreed to be your friend... but it can't be helped, we have to cooperate with each other here.

Shu: You are intelligent.

  • Turn 3*

Masaki: Prescia! Are you alright!?

Prescia: Brother!?

Shu: You came at last. That overprotective attitude isn't like you, Masaki.

Masaki: Shut up! So you haven't done anything to Prescia?

Prescia: Yeah, I'm fine. Putting that aside…

Wulf: Damn... We have more visitors. But that's okay. I'm prepared for anything.

[Ghost Soldiers appear]

Masaki: Damn, a mass of depressing enemies! 

[Masaki vs Wulf]

Wulf: The successor of Randole... Our enemy!

Masaki: Damn, as I thought that is a heavy name. 

[Prescia vs Wulf]

Wulf: Even if you are a small girl, you belong to the arch-enemy-family of Volkruss-sama... I won't make light of you. This time I'll give you my final word.

Prescia: You can do it!? 

[Prescia vs Volkruss]

Prescia: Eh!? What is this feeling... I feel bad... My head hurts... 

[Shu vs Wulf]

Wulf: Death to the apostate!

Shu: Somehow you serve Volkruss to the bone. You're different from Mr. someone.

Wulf: You could only trick a novice like Gaen with such words. 

*Wulf defeated*

Wulf: Shit... But good anyway, I planted the seed. The next thing is how it will appear... 

#Scene 47#

Masaki: ...Prescia, I want to ask you about Shu but…

Prescia: I can't forgive him but I decided not to do it.

Masaki: Eh?

Prescia: I was thinking of revenge but I stopped for now

Shu: Hmm… For now huh?

Prescia: Yeah, when I become stronger than my dad, I'll KILL you!

Shu: I'm looking forward to that.

Masaki: ...I don't understand but, things seem to have ended... well?

Wendy: Nothing can compare to Masaki when he is serious.

Ryune: Yeah, I thought so too.

Masaki: ...Prescia, Shu. When I was not around did something happen?

Shu: I think if you say something happened, it happened, if you say nothing happened, then nothing happened.

Masaki: W-what’s with that flowery way of speaking!? Could it be you…

Prescia: Brother.

Masaki: What!? H-hey, don't hold me!

Prescia: Thank you for caring. But don't worry because nothing happened.

Masaki: I-I see…

Ryune: ...That is good but, Prescia.

Wendy: That hug is for reunion but... isn't it a bit too long?

Prescia: It is alright since we are brother and sister.

Masaki: N-no it is not! You're already 13 years old.

Prescia: I'm not yet 13. We should bath together when we get home.

Ryune: Wait!? Could it be... you two haven't bathed together right!?

Masaki: It's not what it looks like! We took a bath together 3 years ago but, just so you know, at that time Prescia was wearing a swimsuit.

Wendy: Eh!? Prescia, have you bathed with him?

Prescia: Yeah, just a bit after Brother came to our home, I and Dad washed his back.

Masaki: Even though I said there is no need but old man Zeoroot didn't listen at all.

Ryune: ...Prescia-chan. Later could you teach me? Particularly the story of that way.

Wendy: E-er, me too, er…

Masaki: You two! Stop talking nonsense!!

Shu: Nothing is better than having good friends. Well, please excuse me.

Masaki: Eh? A-ah... Somewhat I owe you a favor.

Shu: No, that was not a big matter. Then...

Prescia: ...Shu, thanks.

Masaki: !? Hey, wait. What thanks? As I thought, something must have happened!?

Prescia: I'll tell you about it later. It is time to go home now.

Masaki: Y-yeah... right. 

#Scene 48#

Tyutti: So Shu's information was correct. There are exactly 3 passages.

Masaki: He is honest with that, at least.

Tyutti: Since we don't understand what is inside, if possible, I want to investigate the 3 doors at the same time but, the problem is the number of people.

Ryune: Er, we have 11 Masouki pilots, haven't we?

Tyutti: But I want to put 5 machines at each door.

Mio: I already heard all the story! ...Haha, because I wanted to say that line once.

Masaki: Mio! You returned.

Mio: Uh huh, just a while ago. I was together with Gen-chan.

Gennadii: Yeah.

Tyutti: So the negotiation went well?

Mio: Trust me! It went perfectly as requested!

Gennadii: Mio is very good at making connections.

Mio: I'm a bit different when money is involved!

Masaki: I didn't mean to put it on airs but... Even so you have helped us. Thank you.

Mio: No biggie. By the way, you guys are talking about investigating the Volkruss temple right?

Masaki: Yeah. We have 13 people in hands so we'll put 4, 4, 5 persons respectively in 3 doors right?

Tyutti: Let's divide and decide the Masou Kishin as main units. Let's see... 

#Scene 49#

Mio: Somehow got the plain members.

Tian: Who’s plain!? Aside Gennadii-dono, I'm not plain.

Mio: Well, certainly your head is conspicuous.

Tian: Hey, the halo shines.

Mio: I confirm it is shining but…

Becky: Eh? The road splits. But it is about the size only a person can pass.

Gennadii: Shall we descend and investigate? Let's divide into 2 groups.

Mio: Right. Let's do it.

Mio: By the way, of all things Tian-san…

Tian: Are you dissatisfied with me?

Mio: What shall I say... Look, you're skillful that you reached Gen-chan but, don't you feel like we’re supporting characters here...?

Tian: What are you saying? The leading actor of our tale is us. To me, Masaki is no more than a supporting actor. As such, we should spin our tale ourselves. Presence of mind is a thing of that import.

Mio: ...Uwah, I’m moved a bit. Tian-san really is a monk.

Tian: What are you saying this time?

Goku: ...That is, you look like a master more than our master.

Hakkai: Yeah, I want to head to India with you.

Mio: Hey, traitors!

Tian: Hey, at last the light can be seen.

Mio: Ah, right. It turns into an open space.

Tian: Let's investigate.

Mio: Yeah, let's be on guard. 

#Scene 50#

Mio: The wall is shining... It looks like a luminous moss.

Tian: Shit! Someone is here!

Mio: Eh?

???: Who? Who is here?

Tian: Hey, that voice is... Tyutti-dono!?

Tyutti: Eh? Tian?

Mio: Tyutti-san? Why are you here...?

Tyutti: I wanna ask that too. When I investigated the narrow road, I ended up here.

Mio: What, same as us?

Tyutti: I investigated briefly but, there is nothing here in particular.

Tian: I see your point but Tyutti-dono, is it really so?

Tyutti: Eh?

Tian: Tyutti-dono, who has experience in magic training much more than me, must feel this sign, right?

Tyutti: Really? I wonder if I'm poor at identifying locations. Tian, so there is probably something here huh?

Tian: Hmm, I see. How about you come here and try to investigate?

Tyutti: Yeah, I'm sorry. Let's see...

Tian: (Yeah! This is... a great perk)

Tyutti: ...True. There must be something around here…

Mio: Wait Tian-san! That is too close! You are spooning on a girl!

Tian: Eh?

Tyutti: Ah, sorry. Wait a bit…

Tian: Hmph!!

Tyutti: Kyah!?

Mio: Eh!? W-wait! wth are you…

Tian: I don't know who you are but... Too bad.

Tyutti: ...What does that mean, Tian? Why do you hit me?

Tian: Yeah, it is useless. If you want to metamorphose, do it properly.

Mio: Eh? Metamorphose... What do you mean?

Tyutti: Hmm... How did you know?

Tian: The perfume. Tyutti changes her perfume for each day of the week. Today is the day of citrus perfume. Even so you are using a green note!

Mio: Why do you even remember such a thing!

???: Fufu... Magnificient. You are an unimaginable PERVERT if you remember even that.

Tian: Shut up!

Mio: Eh!? He transformed?

Katekis: Out of respect for that transformation, let me tell you my name. I'm Katekis. Silver sorcerer, Katekis.

Mio: Eh? Unbelievable... I heard that name before. Surely they said he’s an unthinkable sorcerer…

Katekis: Well, because I'm famous.

Tian: Don't tell lies, idiot!

Katekis: W-what did you say! What a lie!?

Tian: I heard that Katekis is over 60. You are such too much of a greenhorn for that.

Katekis: Hmph, that? I used the technique of eternal youth.

Tian: Even if your words are true, a bastard like you who uses illegal magic is too good for the name silver sorcerer!

Katekis: Um, illegal magic you say!? Me!?

Tian: Transforming into a beautiful lady to assassinate someone unguarded... if that isn't illegal magic then what else can it be!?

Katekis: You... got it!

Mio: Eh!? Boo!

Katekis: Shit!? Y-you... use a mysterious technique.

Mio: Ah, surprise? What mysterious technique? It is Aikido, Aikido!

Tian: Kya!

Katekis: Oops!? ...Damn, you two possess more skill than I thought.

Tian: The champion of Thai boxing isn't just for show! Time to finish this…

Tian: Ugh!?

Wulf: You are in trouble, Katekis.

Tian: T... This is... Shadow locking…

Tian: Guah!?

Katekis: Wulf, you are late!

Wulf: Don't sulk. Thanks to you I found a gap. This is to your credit.

Tian: Guah…

Mio: Tian-san!

Tian: Don't come here! You can't match this guy. Guah!?

Wulf: This is all you can do? Disappointing.

Tian: W... What... Not yet…

Wulf: I'll put an end to you. Die a painful death.

Tian: Guah!?

Mio: Tian-san!?

???: Hey!? Mio!?

Mio: Ah! That is Gen-chan's voice! This way, hurry!

Wulf: Hmm, you are too late. At last we got enough blood. Let's go, Katekis.

Katekis: Yeah.

Mio: Ah!? Wait!!

Gennadii: What happened, Mio!? Uh!? Tian!?

Mio: Gen-chan! You can use healing technique right? I'm weak. I can't do anything. Please!

Gennadii: Understood!

Tian: W-wait…

Mio: Tian-san! Don't talk! You are too weak…

Tian: Idiot... Didn't you hear that guy's word before?

Mio: Eh? What word…

Tian: Sufficient blood... In other words, a living sacrifice... Something... Something creepy…

Gennadii: Mu... The magic-square-like pattern in the surroundings is…

Tian: If we don't hurry... get in the Masouki... it will be too late...

Gennadii: Understood! I'll take care of him here, Mio, go!

Mio: O-Okay.

Stage 9. The assassins

  1. Scene 51 (Map)#

Wulf: ...It is time.

Katekis: ...It came?

Wulf: Yeah... Just a bit more.

Mio: You bastards! How dare you do that to Tian-san!

Wulf: Oh, he died?

Mio: He didn’t! Because Gen-chan's healing saved him!

Katekis: Then, you'll go before him.

Becky: Those guys…

Katekis: You don't say, you can win us with just 2 Masoukis?

Becky: Too bad for you. Our friends will come soon.

Wulf: Soon eh? Then, Will they be on time or not…

Mio: !? Again…

Wulf: It's time.

Katekis: Hey, shouldn't we evacuate?

Wulf: Yeah, it is a good time.

Katekis: Heheh, then, goodbye. You bastards will be completely consumed.

Wulf: Stop saying unnecessary words!

Katekis: Uh... U-understood. Bye!

Mio: Ah!? Those guys!

Becky: Did they mean... the reincarnation of Volkruss?

Mio: Yeah, I thought so. If we don't check here…

Mio: I-it came!?

Becky: How can we match Volkruss?

???: Don't interfere! This guy is…

Mio: Tian-san!?

Becky: What are you doing, Tian! You must not move!

Tian: You two... feel it don't you? That feeling... Guh…

Mio: That feeling is Volkruss right? We'll do something about it. Tian-san, you rest!

Tian: Wrong... You are wrong... This is not Volkruss… Wh? What? You are…

Mio: Eh? Wait, Tian-san? Why are you suddenly...?

Tian: Right... You are... Hmm, for sure... Buddha lives in all beings…

Becky: Wait! What did you just say!? You’re hallucinating because of losing too much blood…

Tian: ...Don't worry. You two will understand sooner or later. This is, Dinforce's will…

Becky: Dinforce's... will?

Tian: Watch this carefully. This is... Possession!

Mio: Possession... Unbelievable!?

Becky: That is what Masaki experienced just once!? But I thought only Masou Kishin…

Tian: Elemental exists in even Masouki... Right, Dinhaim... Your thought... I understand.

Becky: Din... haim? The lightning elemental lives in Dinforce...?

Mio: W... wait!? Tian-san, what are you planning!?

Tian: This guy is an evil God that shouldn't be awakened. He WILL awake sooner or later but... now is... now is not the time!

Becky: Stop it Tian! If you do that your body will…

Tian: I have been prepared from the beginning! Even though Dinforce possesses the power of Dinhaim and I-I don't know how long it can hold…But, I must do this!

Mio: Stop!! You will die!

Tian: Someday humans all die... To me at this time, no place is more appropriate than this!

Becky: How... selfish!

Tian: Sorry... Me and Dinhaim... These two lives and wills... I offer them to you!

Mio: S-stop! Move! Move!

Becky: Shit... This pressure... Even La Wenter can't move!

Tian: You two can't reach this level yet! Hahaha! ...Ugh! Uuh... No, the wound is spreading farther…

Becky: What are you doing, Tian! You can't do it alone.

Mio: Right! You forgot us!? We are your friends!

Tian: It’s because we are friends. I’ve, more or less, lived longer than you, Mio. Then, the one who deserves to die in this place is the duty of the senior…

Mio: No!

Becky: What are you saying! I'm older than you!

Tian: I have many good memories with you... Becky-dono... Thank you. Ugh!?

Becky: Tian!?

Tian: Somehow... It is the promised time. Let's go! Dinhaim!

Mio: Tian-san!!

Tian: Don't worry... The thought of Dinhaim and I will always be with you guys.

Becky: Tian!!

Tian: Oh, I forgot one thing. This guy is not Volkruss, but the harmony God Ras… Ugh!? I try to comprehend it but dying is surprisingly terrifying...

[Flash]

Mio: Ah...ah...aah…

Becky: ...Tian...It can't be...

[Enemies appear]

Katekis: Hey! What is the meaning of this!? Why did Rasphitot... by that pathetic Masouki?

Wulf: Shut up! We were told not to speak his name!

Katekis: Shit... Have it your way! But can we just untie the seal one more time?

Wulf: I'm afraid not. We can't untie such a strong seal for the next one hundred years. Let's look for another chance.

Katekis: You serious!? Shit! This is a terrible failure! To make up for that, we have to wipe out these guys!

Wulf: Yeah... I agree.

Becky: You guys... are out of luck. Now I'm in a bad mood... Don't think I'll go easy on you.

Mio: You... You bastards!! Can't be forgiven!! 

[Mio and Becky increase morale]

[Mio vs Wulf]

Mio: I'll never forgive you! Never!!

Wulf: ...You have such strong emotion even if you are Earthling. 

[Mio vs Katekis]

Mio: The foe of Tian-san!!

Katekis: Oh, you said an interesting thing. If I'm not mistaken, the Masoukishin pilots don't move by personal feeling right?

Mio: Eh? Uh…

Katekis: Hahah! You are a novice!

Mio: ...Right, maybe I'm a novice. That's why! Now for Tian-san! I'll beat you! 

[Becky vs Wulf]

Becky: I'll offer your head to Tian's grave!

Wulf: Hmm, don't declare impossible things. 

[Becky vs Katekis]

Becky: You guys... Can't be forgiven!!

Katekis: Hmm, so what can you do? 

*Turn 2*

Gennadii: Tian... Shit, if only I came earlier... 

[Gennadii's morale up]

*Turn 3*

Ryune: Eh!? ...Because the image was sent, I think I understand what's going on but, is it true Tian-san…

Simone: No way... Tian is…

Tyutti: Moreover, he used Possession even though his mech isn't a Masoukishin…

Ahmed: Don't be childish, everyone. Tian gave his life to protect us. Don't waste that will.

Ryune: He literally just DIED…

Ahmed: Then, we must settle the remaining problem quickly. Everything begins from now.

Tyutti: ...Right, let's do it!

Simone: Understood!

Ryune: ...Roger!

Ahmed: Tian... I clearly received your spirit. I also do things that need to be done! 

*Wulf defeated*

Wulf: We will change the plan a bit but... Well, so much for today. 

*Katekis defeated*

Katekis: Damn, the battle plan failed! I'll get revenge next time!

  1. Scene 52#

Bradroy: How goes the investigation?

Coret: ...I'm sorry.

Wendy: We could only retrieve Dinforce's leg... The other parts are…

Masaki: …

Wagener: So sad…

Mio: Wait! We can't be sure!! Please investigate more!!

Becky: Mio... I understand your feeling but... you saw it right...?

Mio: T-that was just some glitter effect! He must be there somewhere! Waiting for us!!

Goku: Master! Calm down!

Hakkai: Don't go crazy~.

Gojo: Master…

Mio: But... but…

Masaki: We tried all possible means. But... there wasn't even a trace.

Wendy: More specifically, there are traces of an elemental in the magic square but…

Xenia: Trace of elemental, you say…

Wendy: ...Lightning elemental, Dinhaim... It’s unmistakable.

Ahmed: ...Rest in peace, my sworn friend Tian Prasat.

Tyutti: ...Anyway, we have to decide on a course of action.

Gennadii: Right... Tian risked his life... If we can't understand the correct meaning of it…

Wagener: Mio, you need a rest. After doing a medical check, please go to the Solatis Temple.

Mio: Old lady Ibun’s place?

Wagener: Yeah, I'm sure she will be helpful.

Mio: ...Understood. I'll do that.

  1. Scene 53#

Xenia: By the way, Becky. Is it true that Katekis said Rasphitot?

Becky: You can investigate the battle record. I don't want to relive it.

Xenia: ...Sorry. I need to know because that is very important.

Masaki: What do you mean by Rasphitot?

Wendy: It is the name of the God in ancient mythology. Similar to Volkruss.

Masaki: Volkruss!? That thing is similar to that monster?

Wendy: The difference is, while Volkruss's existence is confirmed, Rasphitot's existence is unprecedented.

Xenia: It is thought of as only a legend.

Wendy: Moreover, while Volkruss is a destruction God, Rasphitot is a harmony God…

Xenia: Right. Particularly, it’s said it doesn't mean that he is a being that causes harm to humans.

Ahmed: But due to Tian putting his life on the line, the revival was prevented.

Wendy: Yeah... Moreover he ascended to even Possession…

Gennadii: ...But I don't understand. How can he do that despite his mech not being Masoukishin?

Wendy: Theoretically, only Masoukishin can fuse as one with its elemental but... the possibility isn't zero.

Ahmed: That was thought of as critical moment right?

Wendy: I wonder if the elemental's sense of danger was very strong?

Masaki: The will of the elemental? Certainly I went into Possession once but I haven't heard the voice of my elemental since that time.

Wendy: From the events of this time, we can guess that human emotion becomes the key but…

Becky: ...A miserable story. I, like Tian, couldn't hear the voice of the elemental…

Ahmed: Don't say that. The one hurt the most due to it is Mio.

Becky: I understand…

Xenia: I will continue investigating Rasphitot but don't expect much from us. There are many things we don't know.

Wendy: I'll try to look again into Possession. I'm not the one who created Dinforce but… I'll analyze its data carefully one more time.

Becky: I'll pray for Tian's happiness in another world.

Ahmed: That is everyone's feeling. Let's give a silent prayer.

Masaki: Yeah... Right...

  1. Scene 54#

Becky: …

Ahmed: What's wrong, Becky? Are you thinking of Tian?

Becky: ...Yeah, right. Before he died, he seemed to have something to say to us.

Ahmed: Tian said he could understand elemental Dinhaim's will. Except for Masaki before, no other person has experienced that. No matter how much you try, it is difficult to gather his true feelings.

Becky: You gave a simple solution.

Ahmed: Don't you think it is ridiculous to try to know all that’s within a person’s mind?

Becky: I don't think trying to know all is outrageous. But I can't guarantee that someday the same thing will happen to Tian can't happen to us.

Ahmed: Are you afraid?

Becky: Of course not. I’ve already prepared for that time. But, after I became a Masouki pilot, I can't keep thinking about it. I wonder what is an elemental?

Ahmed: The elementals of this world are very different from my general knowledge of elemental.

Becky: Me too. But to me, it is very similar to the elemental that I heard of in old stories.

Ahmed: Tian is a Buddhist. That guy had the same thinking about elementals?

Becky: I can't explain it clearly. But Tian always said, Buddha exists in all beings… I somehow can understand that.

Ahmed: I see. You are probably compatible with your elemental.

Becky: How about you Ahmed?

Ahmed: ...It doesn't suit me.

Becky: Eh, really?

Ahmed: Sorry to disappoint you but... I often thought I was not suitable to be a Masouki pilot.

Becky: What... I can't believe you think that way.

Ahmed: I don't fear death in the battlefield but, I have no interest in seeking the truth about elementals. I'll probably be disqualified if it is essential for a Masouki pilot to understand their elemental.

Becky: You are against religious faith?

Ahmed: No, it is the problem of a person's inner feeling. It is rather correct to say his will.

Becky: Will, huh...? Well, certainly I think your way of thinking has many problems. But, perhaps you agree about the present state and the motto of Antilles Corp?

Ahmed: Yeah, sure.

Becky: Then, you accept the way I am because we are friends?

Ahmed: Yeah... Right.

  1. Scene 55#

Mio: Then, see you later.

Masaki: Wait, you plan to go alone?

Mio: It's fine.

Masaki: But... Your emotions right now are unstable…

Mio: I saidI'm FINE! ...Fine.

Masaki: …

Mio: W-what?

Tyutti: Mio, don't be stubborn. Let me go with you.

Mio: ...As I thought, you think I can't do anything alone…

Masaki: I don't mind you going alone.

Mio: Eh?

Masaki: Though, if you go alone, you will be killed midway when you encounter Katekis and Wulf.

Mio: I.. I will never let it happen!

Masaki: Tian entrusted you to us. We can not take it THAT lightly.

Mio: Ah…

Masaki: If you want to be alone, don't do anything and stay indoors. If so I won't criticize you. ...I've experienced that before.

Mio: I, I…

Tyutti: Mio, I only want to protect you. Is that alright? Let's go together.

Mio: ...Ok.

Masaki: Demeksa is there. Ask him how his training is going. That guy hasn't contacted any of us recently.

Tyutti: Roger.

  1. Scene 56#

Ibun: I see... Tian is…

Demeksa: I'm sorry to hear that…

Ibun: Good grief, they all left me, an old senior and went first... Ricardo, Zeoroot, Madock, his Majesty... and now Tian. Well, aside Madock, they were young... too young.

Tyutti: Yeah... But we will inherit what they left for us.

Ibun: Oh…

Tyutti: ? Ibun-sama, what's wrong?

Ibun: No, don't mind me. Putting that aside, what's the reason you came here? I can make a rough guess but…

Mio: Training... I want MORE power!

Ibun: I thought so... But, now is not the time.

Mio: Eh? W-why?

Ibun: Even if I tell you no you won't agree... It can't be helped, you want me to prepare? Tyutti, lend me a hand.

Tyutti: Understood.

Demeksa: Er, how about I lend you a hand?

Ibun: Demeksa, you just completed your training. Have a rest.

Demeksa: Yes.

Ibun: Then, let's go, Tyutti.

Tyutti: Yes.

Mio: …

Demeksa: …

Mio: …

Demeksa: Ah~... Well~... I feel sorry for Tian-san.

Mio: !

Demeksa: Ah, no... Oh, right, I should make tea.

Mio: … … …

Demeksa: Sorry for making you wait. I make good tea. It is almost the same taste and smell with high-quality green tea.

Mio: …

Demeksa: Drink it while it's hot.

Mio: Hey.

Demeksa: Yes?

Mio: Why... were you laughing?

Demeksa: ...Me?

Mio: Tian-san is dead!!

Demeksa: I see…

Mio: Demeksa-san!!

Demeksa: Because if the brother and sister won't laugh, they will cry.

Mio: Eh?

Demeksa: It is a bit of a long story. You want to hear it?

Mio: Y-yeah…

Demeksa: My father is a high officer of the Ethiopian government. My mother passed away when I was young. He had a second marriage, and that's why me, brother and sister are very different in age. My mother also worked for the Ethiopian government. Because father and mother are so busy, they left the whole job of caring for my brother and sister to me. In Ethiopia the government was unstable. Near us, guerrilla wars often broke out. My brothers would always cry when they heard a gunshot. At that time, if I laughed they would stop crying. Even for a bit they could be relieved. The truth is I'm strong at long distance running so they choose me as a solid athlete for the Olympics. For that training camp, they bulldozed houses. One day... a coup happened. My parents were killed, while still working for the government. And my brother and sister also... When I hurriedly returned to my house, I witnessed my brother and sister dying on the floor. I cried. I prayed. But... even so my brother and sister wouldn’t cry. I didn’t want to make them cry. I wanted to give them relief in their last moments. From that day, I can only laugh. Even in the worst situations…

Mio: Ah... Er... Sorry!

Demeksa: It's nothing. The truth is because of that smiling face, I was rejected by my girlfriend. No, you really got me. Ahaha.

Mio: …

Demeksa: Ah... That, in short it doesn't mean I'm not sad. Simply, I don't express my feelings outwardly.

Mio: Yeah... I understand. If I laugh... Tian-san would be happy.

Demeksa: Er, I can't say it went well but, I think you should cry when you want to cry.

Mio: Demeksa-san is... strong.

Demeksa: You're wrong. I only pretend to be cool in front of people. I also cry when I'm alone.

Mio: I... I... can't pretend to be cool... I!! Uwaaaaaah!! Tian-san…

Demeksa: I won’t say I understand your feelings. Because sadness varies depending on people. But, don't forget only that. Tian-san didn't leave anything for you?

Mio: ...Tian-san... For me?

Demeksa: Yeah. The time when people risk their life, that is the time when they try to protect something. Do you have any idea?

Mio: That is... the thought of Tian-san and Dinhaim…

Demeksa: Thought...? That is also a heavy thing. Ah, I'm not joking.

Mio: Haha... I understand.

Demeksa: Ah, you smile at last.

Mio: Ah, really?

Demeksa: People shouldn't cry from sadness, there are people who say that you feel sad from crying but… For health, laughing is necessary too.

Mio: ...Hey, Zamzeed's elemental, if I'm not mistaken, is Zamju right?

Demeksa: Yeah, that's right. It is an earth elemental.

Mio: Elemental...? The will of elemental…

Demeksa: An elemental is always together with the person. Your best friend spins the eternal history... That poem exists in Langran.

Mio: Always together with the person? In the afterlife also, right?

Demeksa: That's right.

Mio: I see... Even only a bit, I think I understand.

Demeksa: That is better than anything else.

Ibun: Well, the preparation is finished but… Eh? Mio, you…

Mio: Eh? What?

Ibun: Hohoo... You learned something in this short time?

Mio: Learned or perhaps... felt…

Ibun: Hmph... very well. I thought it might be too early for you but, it seems you are ready now.

Mio: Ah, you mean the training?

Ibun: Yeah, have a try.

Mio: Understood! Please!

Stage 10: Mio's decision

  1. Scene 57 (Map)#

Mio: The elemental world is as usual, can't be understood.

Ibun: Go, Mio. Are you prepared?

Mio: Yeah, anytime!

Ibun: Then... appear!

Mio: She came. I'm fighting with myself again…

???: Yo. Nice to meet you, the second generation pilot of Zamzeed, Mio Sasuga.

Mio: Eh!? Who...are you?

Ricardo: I'm Ricardo Silveira, the previous generation pilot of Zamzeed.

Mio: Eh? Eeeeeh!?

Ricardo: Uoh? Don't suddenly yell like that.

Mio: Grandma Ibun! What does this mean!? A ghost!?

Ibun: Calm down, Mio. He is not a ghost.

Ricardo: Right. I have proper legs. Japanese ghosts don't have legs right?

Mio: Y-yeah. Its origin is from the ghost picture of Maruyama Oukyo but… No! Ricardo-san is dead isn't he!?

Ricardo: Yeah, I'm dead. Even now I remember sleeping on Tyutti's lap... That was a paradise.

Ibun: Hey hey... Don't act weird, Ricardo. Well, that is normal for you but…

Mio: That's why, please explain wth is going on!

Ibun: This Ricardo can be called a memory.

Mio: Memory?

Ibun: That's right. The people now that remember Ricardo, the people from the past that remember Ricardo, and the memory of Ricardo himself… That is the thing that all such thoughts created. Now that is Ricardo's essence standing before you.

Mio: Our thoughts…

Ibun: The more repeatedly the materialization is done, the more it is abstracted.

Mio: If that is true then... I can also meet Tian-san!?

Ibun: Yeah, you can. But, don't misunderstand. Because this is memory, it is not the REAL person. If he lives he will grow and change but these guys can't do that. I can't revive a dead person.

Mio: I see... Right.

Ricardo: Then, you understood, Mio?

Mio: Yeah... The wall inside me... I think that is surely Ricardo-san.

Ricardo: Well, if that is what you think, so be it.

Mio: That's why I... I'll surpass Ricardo-san! 


[Mio's morale up]

Ricardo: Good spirit, Mio. That is the pilot that Zamzeed chose. There is no need to hold back, bring it on! 

[Ricardo's morale up]

[Mio vs Ricardo]

Mio: Ricardo-san!!

Ricardo: You have good spirit but you're still naive. If you're accepted as my successor, I have to train you a bit more.

Mio: I'm counting on you!

Ricardo: Yeah, leave it to me. 

[Zamzeed was injured]

Mio: Kuh... T, terrible... This is Zamzeed's true power…

Ricardo: Not yet. Just so you know, I'm not yet serious.

Mio: Eh!?

Ricardo: If you want to make me serious, first you have to prepare for anything. Haven't I said there is no need to hold back?

Mio: B-but... How can I...

Ricardo: Don't limit yourself. A human is a being that can draw power by unthinkable fighting spirit. Leave aside unnecessary thinking and focus on beating me.

Mio: Y-yes! 

[Ricardo receives major damage]

Ricardo: Phew... See what I said? Mio: Ricardo-san…

Ricardo: Oops, don't lose focus. Because the match hasn't been decided.

Mio: Yes! 

*Ricardo defeated*

Ricardo: Haha... I KNEW you could do it.

Mio: Y-yeah…

Ricardo: Eh? What's wrong? You won me. Be happy a bit.

Mio: But... I won't see Ricardo-san anymore.

Ricardo: Hey hey, don't talk nonsense to a dead corpse. You know that I'm not the real person, right?

Mio: That is true but…

Ricardo: I already showed you my power and skill. What’s next depends on how you use it. You understood the original power of Zamzeed right?

Mio: Yeah... It is incredibly strong. How would I say, I feel a sense of stability and reliability.

Ricardo: Zamju is an earth elemental. Earth is the thing that raises life. You should know that character.

Mio: ...Yeah, I think I understand, a little.

Ricardo: Yeah. Good then. You have talent. You'll surely surpass me. I can guarantee that. Then, it's time for me to leave. Give my regard to Tyutti.

Mio: Yeah... Thank you, Ricardo-san.

Ricardo: We'll meet again.

Mio: The earth that raises life...? T-that? What's that light...? It's so tender… Ah... I understand... Zamzeed... No, Zamju gives me its power…

Ibun: What's wrong Mio? Have you understood something?

Mio: Yeah... Thanks to Ricardo-san's teaching, I'm not lost anymore. 

#Scene 58#

Ibun: You did well, Mio. That was splendid.

Mio: Yeah, even if I say so myself I had a good performance.

Tyutti: What kind of training was it? Fighting yourself like before?

Mio: Ah... Tyutti-san didn't see it.

Tyutti: Eh? Yeah. Because the one that communicated with the elemental world is only Ibun-sama.

Mio: Well... The truth is I fought Ricardo-san.

Tyutti: ...Eh?

Mio: Really, Ricardo-san. Ricardo Silveira, the first generation pilot of Zamzeed.

Tyutti: Really?

Mio: Yeah, right. Ah, but, not the real him, just a thing of memories.

Tyutti: Ibun-sama! If I go to the elemental world, can I meet him?

Ibun: Calm down, Tyutti. Mio already said didn’t she? That is just memory, not the real person.

Tyutti: Even if it is only a memory... I can meet him right?

Mio: Well, I can't say skillfully but, you know, it’s like in manga. The scene with the blue and starry sky as the background, which floats while smiling. It shines. That guy isn't dead. He lives inside our heart... That feeling?

Tyutti: ...I don't understand at all that metaphor.

Demeksa: Is it like an elemental?

Ibun: Oh... You are sharp, Demeksa.

Tyutti: Elemental... The thought of each person?

Ibun: Indeed. Not only the people in here. The thoughts of all people in the past... They're purified and turn into elemental.

Mio: The feeling called eight million Gods?

Ibun: Well, it doesn't mean there are only good elementals. We can say Volkruss is also an elemental that was extremely concentrated. That is because of bad feelings.

Tyutti: ...I see. By the way, Mio, is Ricardo healthy?

Mio: Yeah... In other words, he is somewhat strange but he gives me a good and reliable feeling.

Tyutti: I... I see. Because he’s made of our thoughts... 

#Scene 59#

Ryune: ...I wonder if Mio is Ok.

Masaki: Well, Tyutti is with her and, on the other side there is also grandma Ibun. No need to worry.

Ryune: Well, that's true but…

Masaki: …

Ryune: …

Masaki: …

Ryune: ...We lost Tian-san.

Masaki: ...Yeah, I can't get used to it. Well, even I think I have to get used to it…

Ryune: If I die, will you cry Masaki?

Masaki: What nonsense are you saying? You will live longer than me. ...I’ll never let that happen.

Ryune: Eh?

Masaki: …

Ryune: Hey, say it one more time.

Masaki: …

Ryune: HEY!

Masaki: Fool. I can't say it over and over!

Ryune: Stingy. Well, good anyway. Ufu, ufufufufu…

Masaki: Stop that creepy laugh!

Ryune: It’s because... Hey... I'm happy. Ufufu.

Masaki: Damn... I said unnecessary things.

Xenia: Hey! Why are you two acting so carefree!?

Masaki: Uoh!? What's wrong!?

Xenia: Don't linger! Prepare to launch!

Masaki: Hey hey, despite being told suddenly I don't understand what's going on.

Xenia: Ah, hmm, that's why! I always said you must check the news right?

Masaki: Understood, understood. Then first explain, Ok?

Xenia: There is a disturbance happening in Shutedonias.

Masaki: ...You serious?

Xenia: It is a very large-scale armed uprising. We have to go in for suppression.

Masaki: Is that so? Gather everyone at the bridge! First let's analyze the information!

Xenia: That is already done. The next thing is the course of action.

Masaki: Good job, Xenia. Well then, let's go to the bridge!

Ryune: Roger! 

#Scene 60#

Wagener: ...That is the present situation.

Ryune: Hmm... In short there is internal strife in Shutedonias, and one of those radical parties caused disturbance right?

Xenia: We concluded it as violence but well, that's how it is.

Wagener: Because the country itself is about to break up, if the Shutedonians government poorly gets involved, they will provoke dispute in one go.

Simone: Thereupon, you say it is our turn.

Masaki: I see.

Becky: Good grief, even though we are in the middle of reminiscing about Tian…

Ahmed: It can't be helped. The event this time has nothing related to it. By the way, do you have proper information?

Xenia: Yeah, we met an agreement with Shutedonias government.

Ahmed: Then good.

Masaki: A fishy story…

Xenia: I say realistic.

Masaki: Well, I understand but…

Folch: Please be careful with your interactions. Try not to give unnecessary provocation.

Masaki: Understood. We have to discuss first, right?

Folch: Masaki-san, can you do something with your voice? It is too rude.

Masaki: What? Me?

Folch: Right. Although I'm not sure, do you plan to negotiate with such a voice?

Masaki: Controlling my voice is my weakness.

Folch: That's not an excuse.

Masaki: ...You are harsh. But, in the battle field there is no time for you to be modest. Because even the opponent prepares to die. If you want the opponent to listen to you, first, you have to fire yourself up in one go.

Folch: ...I see. You even have such a way of thinking. But, it is true that you are rough with your tone. Try to choose more suitable words in the field.

Masaki: Yes yes, understood.

Folch: One “yes” is enough!

Masaki: Yes, I understood. Ok now?

Folch: Well, you barely pass. Try not to be careless.

Masaki: ...Phew.

Charian: Time is precious. At this time the disturbance is spreading farther. Let's hurry.

Wagener: Right. I'm counting on you, Captain.

Bradroy: Yeah, I'm ready anytime.

Masaki: Very well! To Shutedonias! 

----------------------------
Stage 11: Shutedonias mayhem
----------------------------

#Scene 61 (Map)#

Bradroy: Hmph... Somehow the battle ceased temporarily.

Masaki: That's just fine. Both of you, dismiss your forces! This is the Antilles Corp!

Zamboss: Damn, the annoying Masoukishin squad! This is none of your business!

Riciel: Right. That is an intervention!

Masaki: Eh? I remember those guys.

Kuro: Have you forgotten? Those are the opponents in the Shunjuu War.

Masaki: Shunjuu... Yeah, the fight with his Majesty and Kirkus right? So it is them.

Zamboss: Hmm, you might have forgotten but we haven’t! Anyhow, thanks to you, we ended up like this.

Masaki: Say what?

Zamboss: This chaos would never have happened if either colonel Rasetsu or ex-president Zoleuschard were alive!

Masaki: Don't blame us! The original cause of the Shunjuu war was your set up!

Riciel: What the heck are you saying!? The original cause is you hiding the criminal!

Wagener: Please stop, both sides, don't get angry. Let's discuss things, calmly.

Xenia: ...It seems those guys don't want to listen.

Zamboss: Oh, lieutenant Grenor. It is rare that we agree.

Riciel: Well, about only this huh?

Zamboss: Then first we take care of these guys and leave our business later?

Riciel: ...Of course. I'm thinking of that too.

Masaki: What... What kind of logic is that!?

Riciel: It's the matter of poking your nose into our affair! Let's do it!

Zamboss: Ok!

Masaki: Damn... it turned into bullshit, let alone negotiation failure!

Ahmed: Such things often happen in diplomacy. To silence those guys is the duty of our Antilles Corp right?

Masaki: Good grief, they’re so selfish!

Wagener: Yeah, it can't be helped. Let's perform Antilles Corp's forcible intervention. 

[Masaki vs Riciel]

Riciel: You guys are too noisy! Please kindly leave!

Masaki: ...Well, there is one thing I want you to answer.

Riciel: W-what? Speak plainly…

Masaki: You are a man right?

Riciel: Of course!

Masaki: …

Riciel: What! You wanna complain!?

Masaki: No, well... I only think that is one's freedom.

Riciel: NOW you irritate me! Prepare yourself! 

[Masaki vs Zamboss]

Zamboss: You are always on us! You guys are God of disease!

Masaki: Eh... We come to mediate! What is that manner of speaking!? 

[Simone vs Zamboss]

Zamboss: Simone! I can't believe you repay colonel Rasetsu's kindness with evil! After all you are Earthling!

Simone: Even if he is a benefactor, if he went the wrong way I should correct him! 

*Turn 3*

Rodney: It seems we're on time.

Eris: We'll also help!

Masaki: Old man Rodney!? And the Masouki over there is... Eris?

Eris: Yeah, this is Masouki Delgiran, an upgrade from the Fenter.

Shiro: Is that a new creation from Wendy-san?

Masaki: You know it, Shiro?

Shiro: Because I looked over the reports carefully.

Kuro: It must be troublesome to follow.

Xenia: By the way, you two. Aren't you on your honeymoon?

Rodney: That's too much for us to sit by if things like this are happening.

Eris: Our first priority is stop this riot!

Zamboss: General Gesha... No, now you are only a member of the rebellion. A traitor.

Rodney: What did you say? wth is a fucking asshole who raised civil war saying!?

Riciel: You’re the one abandoning his country, don't interfere!

Eris: We haven't abandoned our country! 

[Eris vs Riciel]

Eris: Be perspective and surrender!

Riciel: Ex-first lieutenant Radius, since you're a woman please be more polite? Like me.

Eris: Hmm... Who will imitate you!

Riciel: Well well... You haven't changed. You are always like that when riding a Masouki.

Eris: Moreover, now I'm not Radius. I'm Eris Gesha.

Riciel: Oh, Gesha... You married general Gesha? Oh, my, congraturation. I wanted to participate in the wedding ceremony.

Eris: ...If I called you, the wedding would be spoiled.

Riciel: Haha, well, you might be right. 

*Zamboss defeated*

Zamboss: How dare you, again... I’ll remember this! 

*Riciel defeated*

Riciel: Shit... I can't believe even this machine won't match the Masoukishin... 

#Scene 62#

Folch: Good grief... I can't believe you fought both parties from the northern region and southern region...

Masaki: That situation couldn’t be helped. They started it.

Folch: Certainly that is true but, please try to use dialogue more. Those are tit for tat right?

Masaki: ...But I always plan to be careful, MORE OR LESS.

Folch: That is you being careful?

Wagener: Well well, investigation chief. Those guys won't even listen to our arbitration so it can't be helped.

Folch: Well... I see. Let's deduct a few points this time.

Masaki: ...You deduct points even for that.

Simone: Everyone, the confirmation of the prisoners is finished. Investigation chief Folch, please also come to hear.

Folch: Understood. I'll go together with you guys. 

#Scene 63#

Zamboss: How dare you... This humiliation…

Riciel: Kill us quickly!

Rodney: Well... You guys don't listen to others at all. We didn't come here to fight.

Riciel: Even if you say after we fought, it isn't convincing.

Masaki: But you guys started it first!

Riciel: That's why, that is…

Simone: Yes yes, that's enough. What will we do if we repeat the same thing?

Wagener: We only want to know the cause of this riot. Can you explain the situation?

Zamboss: Isn't it obvious!? The guys of the northern part attacked us…

Riciel: Lie! The one set the fire is you…

Ryune: Don’t be noisy!! Stay calm!

Zamboss: Uh!?

Riciel: W-what?

Ryune: If you speak even one more word…

Riciel: W-wait! What is that stone!? Don't tell me you're going to hit me with it? You barbarian!

Ryune: Hit? No way. This is… This!

Riciel: Hiih!?

Zamboss: You... monster!?

Ryune: Well, head or stomach, which is it?

Zamboss: Head?

Riciel: Stomach?

Ryune: Right. Which do you want me to crush?

Zamboss: I... I'm sorry!

Riciel: I-I'll tell you!

Ryune: Good. By this, they'll spit out the story.

Wagener: ...No, they're frightened.

Masaki: Ryune... How many kilos can you grip?

Ryune: Well, I've broken the measuring device.

Masaki: ...Hmm.

Ryune: W-what? Ah... Could it be, er... I'm not feminine?

Masaki: No, I'm just impressed. Intimidation can be effective too.

Ryune: Really? You don't dislike me?

Masaki: That's why, I said so right? I already knew your super-human strength at the time I saw you arm wrestling.

Ryune: Phew.

Folch: ...You threatened the prisoner. That is a point deduction.

Ryune: Uh... As I thought, it is not allowed?

Folch: It is better than to put into action but, that is enough of a reason for point deduction.

Ryune: A, ahaha. I didn't mean to do it.

Simone: For now, let's separate the two prisoners and question them. 

#Scene 64#

Wagener: Um... their stories don't completely match.

Ryune: After all, both of them only insist that it's the opponent's fault.

Xenia: From the video analysis, it can't be wrong but both excuses are correct.

Masaki: Also the time?

Xenia: Yeah. The attacking time is completely the same. There is also no trace of video alteration. The chances of that are astronomical.

Wendy: I can only think that it is clearly a third party attacking both sides at the same time.

Rodney: I see... In short, someone pulls the string on their backs.

Eris: B-but... if a riot breaks in Shutedonias, the one gaining profit is…

Rodney: Well, by common sense it is Langran.

Tsrein: That is impossible!

Rodney: Uoh? W, what's that, suddenly... Tsrein, you?

Tsrein: There is no person in Langran using that dirty method! Right, Xenia-sama, Wagener-sama?

Xenia: No... I'm not so sure about that.

Wagener: I'm afraid to say, I can't guarantee that.

Tsrein: Eeh!? That can't be, you two…

Xenia: Well, because as a person in the old intelligence division, I completely understand either its back or front. There aren’t only nice things in any society.

Tsrein: B-but!

Xenia: Well well. I didn't mean that Langran did it. I just can't exclude them since there are numerous candidates.

Wendy: Even if we analyze the information we can't jump to conclusion, Tsrein.

Tsrein: ...Understood.

Wagener: Do you happen to have some knowledge, Rodney? Because you stayed at Shutedonias for a long time.

Rodney: Ah... Well, it is true but... right?

Eris: Y...yes.

Wendy: You guys really don't hear anything, even rumors?

Rodney: No, well, er... Because we almost don't go outside. Er, we stayed inside our room all the way…

Wendy: Eh? You mean...? Ah!?

Becky: ...All 3 days? You guys are vigorous.

Eris: W-wrong! Not all!

Becky: You express the truth with your red face.

Eris: No, er, er…

Simone: Yes yes, let's end it here! Good grief, I don't want to hear a story of a love affair. There are also children here.

Becky: Oops, sorry.

Rodney: Well, I don't understand the matters here in the past few days but, I can explain the condition of the northern region part and southern region separately.

Masaki: Ah, which reminds me they had said something like how is the northern part?

Rodney: To say it simple, the southern part is strong on Zoleuschard's influence, while the northern part is against Zoleuschard. The economic root of the southern part is military production.

Xenia: The spreading economic disparity between the northern part and the southern part are related to the war at that time and the disturbance lately right?

Rodney: The government now is from the northern part. I heard from the rumor that the southern part is aiming for independence. ...But I don't think it is serious.

Xenia: Sorry. If I talk honestly as a third party, that possibility is highly considered.

Eris: It can't be…

Rodney: I can't believe there is such an asshole… No, Xenia's assessment is probably rather correct.

Eris: Rodney? Even you…

Rodney: Shutedonias is a federal system. The autonomy awareness of each province is also strong... If they maximize the priority of themselves and that profit then…

Eris: That is true but…

Rodney: Zoleuschard has more influence than he seems. If that guy lives, it won't be like this. Well, just so you know Masaki, don't blame yourself. Because we also fought together with you.

Masaki: Ah... Understood.

Rodney: Well, everything has various sides. Reality is complex.

Simone: By the way, where should we discuss the prisoners?

Rodney: I see... While I think it is alright with the north... Who is the top of the south?

Eris: In terms of popularity, how about general Dastrasch?

Rodney: Ah, the old man Leffen? If it is him I'm sure he can do something for us.

Becky: Then, prepare to negotiate. We will send the prisoners.

Xenia: Then I'll participate with the side that sends the prisoners of the north. The negotiation is also necessary.

Rodney: Should we accompany you?

Xenia: No, I'm glad but I think you shouldn't. If you guys are with us the story will probably get complicated.

Becky: So that's it. You guys together with Masaki stay here for home keeping.

Rodney: It can't be helped... So be it.

Eris: I also want to observe the present condition…

Wagener: Then let me be in charge of communicating with the south. I entrust the north to Captain.

Bradroy: Understood, Representative. 

#Scene 65#

Wendy: According to the Bespina treaty, battle in urban areas is prohibited but... the goverment can't easily defend against civil war or terrorism…

Rodney: Bullshit... Ain't there any proper politicians?

Masaki: It wouldn't be this way if you were still a politician, right, old man?

Rodney: I'm already a member of Antilles Corp. I no longer have Shutedonias nationality.

Wendy: Ah, no, there is nationality.

Rodney: Eh? How?

Wendy: In the Federation, referring to the contract with Antilles Corp, the opinions in detail are separated. So, even if it is temporary, right now we are treated as people who have double Nationality.

Rodney: What is that? Irresponsible dudes... That also violates the international law.

Wendy: The truth is by next week or sometime, there is an arrangement to resolve that. But, because Shutedonias is like this…

Rodney: Ah, so that's it.

Wendy: Even I said so, you can't run for election as long as you are attached to the Antilles Corp.

Rodney: Well, that's common sense.

Eris: Rodney, what is that queue for?

Rodney: Eh? Oh, I wonder if they are doing bargain sales?

Wendy: No, that is... meal service for disaster victims.

Ryune: What, shall we volunteer?

Wendy: Let's help.

Masaki: Right. 

#Scene 66#

Masaki: Ah, could you give me just a moment?

???: Ah, sorry. Could you line up?

Masaki: Ah, no. We didn't come looking for food. Sorry…

Rodney: Eh? You are Elsine?

Elsine: Yes, I'm Elsine Theresia but... What?

Rodney: Ah, this is the famous cultivation party Aquabina right?

Masaki: A famous person?

Eris: Yeah, she is the godmother of Curius party. Everyone in Shutedonias knows her.

Elsine: Godmother is too much for me. I'm merely a nun. What do you want from me?

Masaki: Ah, no, we don't want anything from you. We just came to help.

Elsine: I see. Thank you very much. But, I have enough help. I will accept your kindness anyway.

Masaki: Is that so? Then, how about a donation?

Elsine: Thank you. May God bless you guys.

Masaki: Um…

Rodney: Oh…

Ryune: Fuwaa…

Masaki: Ah...Ah, er... We've got cash on hand right?

Ryune: This is all I have at the moment.

Rodney: Damn, I almost dropped them.

Eris: But that is just a few…

Wendy: Well... Ah, yes. I've brought the bill.

Masaki: Er, well, then we offer them all to you.

Elsine: Eh, this much? Is that alright?

Rodney: Never mind, never mind! We could offer as much as you like for such a beautiful lady. Moreover, even if it is our fault… Ah!

Eris: …

Rodney: N-no, Eris! I'm wrong! Now I'm wrong!

Eris: …

Rodney: No, I said I'm sorry! I really regret it!

Elsine: You are his wife?

Eris: More or less, on paper.

Elsine: You don't need to be angry. Gentlemen say compliments like that. Because it is diplomacy etiquette.

Eris: Y-yes... I understand that but…

Elsine: You both are a lovely couple. May God bless you.

Eris: T-thank you.

Masaki: Ah, we seem to trouble you so much. Then, take care.

Elsine: Yes. Thank you very much.

  1. Scene 67#

Ryune: ...Hmm. She was magnificent.

Masaki: Yeah, that's what the halo shines on.

Ryune: I wonder if that is also prana?

Masaki: Maybe. Because she also seems to be using medical treatment.

Simone: There was also an orphanage. It is the place to keep the children that have no relatives.

Ryune: Being able to directly help troubled people like that, so nice...

Masaki: Eh?

Wendy: What's wrong, Masaki?

Masaki: No, just now, I had a familiar feeling but... why?

Ryune: Really? In Shutedonias?

Masaki: ...I feel uneasy.

Rodney: How?

Masaki: What you may call it, I feel a murderous ki from that guy. Moreover he headed over there.

Ryune: The church of Elsine-san…

Rodney: Certainly I feel so too... Let's go back.

Masaki: Yeah, let's do it.

Rodney: How? He is here?

Masaki: How can I know since there are so many people?

Elsine: Oh, you all. You forgot something?

Masaki: Ah, no, not that... Er, have you seen a strange person around here?

Elsine: You said a strange person?

Masaki: Well, he looks ugly and stupid… Ah! I remember! He is Eric!

Eric: Uoh!? W-who!? You have business with me!?

Ryune: Ah, I see you!

Znero: ...Boss. Why did you yell?

Eric: Why did you say that... I have to answer when such a big voice calls me.

Znero: ...Ha~. It doesn't mean disguise.

Eric: Good anyway! I don't like sneaking! All a man needs is to stand out in the crowd!

Znero: ...It can't be helped. We'll fight them in mecha?

Eric: Right!

Stage 12: The Godmother of the battlefield

  1. Scene 68 (Map)#

Eric: Yahoo! I'll pay back everything you gave me from before!

Masaki: Shit! What is with those numbers!? Where did they appear from!?

Wendy: Maybe... They used the invisibility technique?

Eris: Eh? Even the terrorist can use that?

Wendy: No, normally they can't but... probably, there is a large organization behind them.

Eric: Hoho! You realize it! Indeed, behind us is…

Znero: Boss! We were told not to speak!

Eric: Eh!? I, I remember now. You, those ain't very splendid leading questions! I was almost caught in them!

Ryune: ...He is an idiot as usual.

Eric: Say what! You know the proverb The one who says idiot is an idiot!?

Znero: But there is no such proverb.

Eric: Whatever! Go, you rascals!!

Subordinate: Yes!

Margaret: At last I found you... Masaki, prepare yourself!?

Masaki: Say what!? Who are you…

Simone: You're... Margaret!?

Margaret: How dare you live so carefree in disgrace, Simone!

Simone: ...That tone, you seem to come to avenge Rasetsu.

Masaki: Rasetsu? That Rasetsu?

Margaret: Right!

Simone: You became a terrorist for that?

Margaret: I'm only a mercenary soldier. I’m not related to them. But the job this time has nothing to do with trading. Originally I became a mercenary soldier to beat you guys! Moreover, you don't have the qualification to complain about terrorists since you just wipe away enemies by brute force!

Masaki: W...what did you say!!?

  • Turn 2 enemy phrase*
[If Znero haven't die]

Znero: ...Boss.

Eric: What?

Znero: You forgot the mission?

Eric: What mission?

Znero: ...As I thought. We have to kill Elsine.

Eric: Eh? Ah, now I remember, of course!

Znero: ...So you forgot.

Eric: Fool! I just pretended! To fool an enemy first you've to deceive your ally.

Znero: What will you do if you fool yourself? You must give the order to our troops.

Eric: Yeah, right. Rascals! Take down the church!

Masaki: Hey, you hear that?

Ryune: I heard everything. They talked through the open-circuit wasn't it?

Rodney: But, thanks to that we understand their purpose. Let's protect the church!

Eris: Yes, Rodney!

Masaki: Ah, but, we'll have a hard time with this many enemies…

Ryune: But we've to do it anyway! Because Wendy-san is also in there! 

[If Znero die]

Eric: Eh? Wait... I realize I forgot something but... what?

Masaki: I would say it's hard to tell a poor thinker from a sleeping one. You don't have to feel sad becoming an adult.

Ryune: If you say that it is a poor thinking right?

Masaki, you can't speak for others.

Masaki: Hmph…

Eric: Hyahahaha! You make me laugh!

Masaki: Shut up! Even Though you aim for Elsine and sneakily hide yourself!

Eric: Yeah!! I remember! That is right, I do aim for Elsine! You rascals! Aim for the church!

Ryune: Oops... We're boomeranged. If we leave him alone he probably can't remember.

Masaki: I'm beaten... I said an unnecessary thing. It can't be helped. Let's protect the church at all costs! 

*Turn 3*

Tyutti: It seems we're on time!

Mio: Sorry for letting you wait!

Demeksa: I understand the situation. We must protect the church right?

Masaki: Yeah! That saves us lots of time! 

[Masaki vs Margaret]

Margaret: The enemy of colonel Rasetsu!

Masaki: You... You say you're also saved by Rasetsu, like Simone?

Margaret: Right! If that person lives, the world will surely change! But you!!

Masaki: His way of doing things only drops the world into chaos!

Margaret: To change chaos is necessary! 

[Mio vs Eric]

Eric: Hyaha! Now now, out of our way!

Mio: Hmm, you fly as usual.

Eric: Yeah my friend! I fly wherever I go! 

[Simone vs Margaret]

Margaret: Colonel Rasetsu was a benefactor to both you and I! But you!

Simone: Because he was my patron, I had to correct his mistake!

Margaret: Whether it is correct or wrong, you have no right to decide it!! 

[Rodney vs Eric]

Eric: Hyahahaha!! Don't you feel the fun, old man!?

Rodney: What's with those guys? They're weird. 

[Eric vs church]

Eric: Hyahahaha! This is fun! 

[Znero vs church]

Znero: Well, receive this. 

[Subordinate vs church]

Subordinate: I can fulfill if the opponent can't move or counter.

Subordinate: Target lockon!

Subordinate: Well, die. Prepare yourself!

Subordinate: I don't like Elsine from before! She pretends to be nice... Die! 

*Znero defeated*

Znero: Ouch... I failed this time too. 

*Eric defeated*

Eric: Damn you! I’ll remember this! 

*Eric defeated (version 2)*

Eric: F, fuck! I must leave!! ...Eh? Wait, I've something to do… Ah!! I remember! I've to kill Elsine!! Shit, I completely forgot. How should I explain...?

Masaki: That guy... said he aims for Elsine?

  1. Scene 69#

Elsine: I'm truly thank you, everyone.

Masaki: It is nothing. That's our job.

Ryune: Even so, why did those guys aim for Elsine-san?

Elsine: I feel embarrassed but it is beyond my knowledge…

Rodney: Well, maybe the utility value of mother Elsine is too high I guess?

Elsine: I don't think I have that much influence on the world.

Rodney: You said so yourself, I think you are too famous. I assume wherever you are, riots are likely to be settled.

Elsine: I would be happy to help if that is the truth but… I don't really understand politics.

Rodney: Ah, but that's good. Because of such existence, the ones whose use you never stopped. For us who don't understand the matter, let's help the other people as it is now.

Elsine: Yes, that's what I think. ? What is that sound? Ah! ...Since when did it get this close?

Rodney: Ah, the navigation sound is soft. We even noticed it from this far.

Masaki: It seems to be the stealth machine.

Elsine: The Antilles Corp are here?

Masaki: Yeah, perhaps everyone gathered.

Elsine: Can I express my attitude to them?

Masaki: Is that necessary?

Elsine: Yes. For the activity of the Antilles Corp until now.

Rodney: What a nice person…

Masaki: ...Well, that’s fine. I'll introduce Hringhorny to you.

  1. Scene 70#

Demeksa: Here, some tea.

Elsine: Thank you. Then excuse me.

Tsrein: …

Mio: What, Tsrein? You're daydreaming.

Tsrein: Eh? Ah, no. It's nothing!

Mio: ...Are you attracted to Elsine-san?

Tsrein: Er, what...?!

Mio: It’s understandable, it is useless to pretend.

Wagener: And what do you want to say for your trouble getting here?

Elsine: Yes, thanks to your actions, people were saved. I'll take that with my heart.

Wagener: No, that's natural for us.

Elsine: But, I want you to think a bit.

Masaki: Think about what?

Elsine: A method to finish the opponent without fighting.

Masaki: ...I think that is troublesome.

Elsine: Really? I think that is too much of a request for me who doesn’t have anything to support you but… You have power. Could you use that power to control, not only demonstrate in battle?

Masaki: No, thus we are trying to prevent combat in many ways?

Elsine: But, after all you resolved combat with your power.

Masaki: But that... is because they won't listen to us.

Elsine: But if you keep fighting like that, it will only cause their malice to grow, and moreover there will be no room to discuss. Don't you think so?

Masaki: ...It is not that easy.

Elsine: I have plenty of knowledge on that. But I want you to remember maintaining the ideal.

Masaki: ...We'll keep that in mind.

Elsine: Then sorry for the long conversation. I've to go…

Ryune: ...Hmm. If everything could be resolved by discussion, my father wouldn't have died.

Masaki: …

Ryune: Masaki, you shouldn't care about that.

Masaki: Ah, yeah...

  1. Scene 238# (Continue from scene 70)

Tyutti: ...There is some unfortunate news. Shutedonias has broken up.

Rodney: Shit!! Eris: ...That is truely regretful.

Tyutti: The north is now north Shutedonias union, the south is now south Shutedonias union. Each of them declares independence and proclaims war simultaneously. Even the Federation confirmed the establishment of two countries. At this moment we don't see their movement but it won't be strange if war breaks out at any time.

Masaki: How about Ahmed and Xenia, moreover Mefil?

Tyutti: Xenia-sama is in the middle of analyzing information and Mefil is helping her. Ahmed is acting separated from them because he is gathering information.

Masaki: Ahmed is collecting information? With the way he sticks out? Isn't it conspicuous?

Tyutti: He disguised carefully. No matter how he looks Ahmed is a professional when it comes to his duties.

Wendy: Because Ahmed did a lot of independent actions, he has many connections here and there. Don't you know it?

Masaki: You serious? But well, now that you mention it, he always hung around, sometimes at Kirkus's place, sometimes with Shu.

Tyutti: Thanks to him, we were apprised of many things. If we combine his data with Rodney's, we shall understand something…

Masaki: Our side doesn't have a way of moving in?

Tyutti: If we do such a thing, it will turn into a real excuse of starting a war. We are passivity to the utmost. We deal after the opponent moves.

Masaki: Well... I understand. Thank you…

Wendy: Haha…

Masaki: What, Wendy?

Wendy: No, I think that way is more Masaki-like.

Masaki: Damn, I felt bad because of my short temper.

Wendy: I don't say it is a short temper but you're obedient to your own feelings.

Masaki: I understand that it is bad to act only by feeling. That's why I'm thinking about many things.

Wendy: I'm not saying it is bad. Since particularly Masaki's emotion fits with elemental Cyphis…

Masaki: Elemental Cyphis... It is the wind elemental contracted with Cybuster? From the time I went to Possession, I couldn't hear its voice…

Wendy: ...Masaki, don't take it seriously. Because Masaki is Masaki himself.

Ryune: Agree.

Masaki: Although you say so... I also have many problems.

Xenia: They moved!

Rodney: The army?

Xenia: Right!

Rodney: The north or the south?

Xenia: Both!

Rodney: Both sides? WTF?

Xenia: That's why! The north and the south, both sides moved their force at the same time and began the invasion tactic!

Tyutti: Don't tell me it is arranged beforehand?

Xenia: I don't understand to that extent. Anyway, both sides acted at the same time. That is the truth. Since it is so we can only move. To observe military affairs and discuss ceasefire is the job of Antilles Corp.

Wagener: What is the scale of their force?

Xenia: Either is regiment scale. There is lots of war potential.

Wagener: Regiment scale? Then it is too much to divide into two groups.

Xenia: Right. We can only strike one side.

Wagener: ...Masaki, what will we do?

Masaki: ...The south. First we'll knock them down.

Wagener: What’s that based on?

Masaki: Because there are many friends of Rodney and Eris in the south right? We’ll have to strike them sooner or later, we have to be mentally prepared.

Rodney: You don't have to worry that much.

Eris: Right.

Masaki: It is just a problem of priority.

Wagener: Good then. There is no objection right?

Tyutti: Got it.

Mio: Um, I'm Ok with it.

Wagener: Xenia, where is the place the south invades?

Xenia: The Nebia province of the north. If we head there from now... I think we will probably meet them at Necrosim mountainous district.

Wagener: Then, let's move to the presumed battlefield. 

------------------------------
Stage 13: Shutedonias break up
------------------------------

#Scene 369 (Map)#

Charian: A terrain that is harsh on balance... We'll be in trouble if they take advantage of the height.

Zamboss: Hmm, you came nonchalantly. Too late. We already finished the battle preparations.

Leo: Carelessness is prohibited, commander Nasel.

Zamboss: I know. We also have a trump card. I rely on you, lieutenant Sandriv.

Rico: Yes.

Xenia: Eh... That is the Kyoumei of Ariel kingdom right? They already exported it?

Masaki: Good grief... Troublesome opponent.

Rodney: Not only that.

Masaki: What? There is something?

Eris: The paint of that Kyoumei... is the Sandriv twins!

Xenia: Eh!? Ah, true!

Masaki: Are they famous?

Rodney: Yeah, it is one of the shooting queen twins. To say clearly, they're tough.

Eris: Yes.

Masaki: Well, we'll keep notice of that thing called Kyoumei. Let's go!

Rico: I see... That is the Masoukishin. Certainly it is a tough opponent.

Leo: Lieutenant Sandriv, don't force yourself. If something happens to you, our army's morale will collapse.

Rico: Don't overestimate me, lieutenant Gibon. But, to survive is my strong point. I won't... die. 

[Masaki vs Rico]

Rico: Masoukishin Cybuster... This is our first meeting. I'm Rico Sandriv!

Masaki: That kid is... an ace?

Rico: But I heard that you were younger than me when you first fought.

Masaki: ...Now you mention it, yeah. Prescia fought when she was 10 year old. Carelessness is prohibited!

Rico: That's what I mean! 

[Masaki vs Zamboss]

Zamboss: What is your motive for supporting the north!

Masaki: We don't ally with any side! We only want to stop the war!

Zamboss: Then, follow us!

Masaki: I'll think again if you stop your invasion! 

[Masaki vs Leo]

Leo: This is the first time we fight like this, Masaki-dono!

Masaki: Eh? Who are you?

Leo: I'm Leo Gibon. We've met before at the time of the Shunjuu war when I and commanding officer Zamboss were chasing Granzon.

Masaki: Ah... Er…

Kuro: Ah, the time when Shu lost his memory. If I remember correctly, the person who was chasing Shu said he is Leo Gibon.

Masaki: Ah, that time?

Leo: Prepare yourself! 

[Masaki vs Mudeka]

Mudeka: Masaki Ando!! You poke your nose into La Gias's affair even though you're a surfacer!

Masaki: Shut up! This is my second homeland by now! 

[Ryune vs Rico]

Rico: I see... This is the Valsione-R that they talked about.

Ryune: So you are one of the shooting queen twins?

Rico: Yeah, even though that's how I look, I'm a bit confident with my skill.

Ryune: Then, I won't hold back! 

[Simone vs Mudeka]

Mudeka: Simone!! You shameless woman!!

Simone: You too, how long will you cling to a ghost of the past! 

[Rodney vs Rico]

Rico: General Gesha... It is a pity to have to fight you.

Rodney: I see... But, I've to stop the chaos of Shutedonias!

Rico: I agree with that. But I can't accept your method! 

[Rodney vs Zamboss]

Zamboss: Former-general Gesha! Why have you become the underling of such guys!

Rodney: Idiot! Antilles Corp is necessary for this world!

Zamboss: Then, will you return to us if we say you are necessary for our Shutedonias?

Rodney: ...You give me a hard question. 

[Eris vs Rico]

Eris: Lieutenant Sandriv! Dismiss your force!

Rico: Former first lieutenant Radius! Because you broke off our relationship, our conversation is already useless! 

*Turn 4*

Mudeka: I found you at last, Masaki Ando!

Masaki: Damn, enemy reinforcement!?

Mudeka: I can meet you at last... I'll return the bitterness of Rasetsu-sama who you killed here!

Masaki: Rasetsu? So you are similar to Margaret from before?

Mudeka: That is your heavy sin! You bastards are the source of bitterness for trying to fix everything through brute force!!

Simone: Stop that way of speaking!

Mudeka: You are the ingratitude Simone!?

Simone: I don't care a shit about what you say. But, don't forget only this: Rasetsu was on the wrong track!

Mudeka: The winner can say anything they want!

Simone: ...So you are the same with Margaret? You are an opponent that won't listen to any explanation.

Mudeka: I'm not in the least of planning to argue with you! I can't forgive you!! 

*Rico defeated*

Rico: Shit, I wouldn’t lose if Nico was here... Retreat! 

*Leo defeated*

Leo: Splendid... I must retreat for an instant. 

*Mudeka defeated*

Mudeka: How dare you... I'll retreat for an instant but, I'll surely repay this debt!! 

*Zamboss defeated*

Zamboss: Damn... Why do these guys always stand on our way... Retreat!

  1. Scene 370#

Masaki: Rasetsu really has loyal followers like Margaret from before, and then Mudeka.

Simone: ...Yeah. But, the ones swear loyalty to him is limited.

Masaki: Ah, I see. He once sacrificed his subordinate.

Simone: Yeah, Eris also was betrayed by him… Eh? Where is Eris?

Becky: She needs a health examination. Rodney also.

Simone: I see, so those two haven't received it?

Becky: Mio and Tyutti, moreover Demeksa too.

Mio: Uu…

Becky: Oh, speaking of the devil. How does it go, Mio? Well, your health must be superior.

Mio: Even Though I powered-up…

Becky: ? What's wrong?

Mio: Even though I powered-up, my body doesn't power-up at all! Especially the Breast!

Becky: ...Ah, well, that is…

Ryune: What? Even though you always said something like tiny breasts was rare. Mio: That is just an excuse to the utmost!

Tyutti: Phew... Strange. Even though my growth period already ended…

Mio: ! I won't overlook that!

Tyutti: Eh? What? What's wrong?

Mio: Let me see your data!

Tyutti: Ah, Mio!? Why you suddenly…

Mio: Up by even 2 centimeters!? Reached the level of 90!?

Tyutti: H-hey! Why are you yelling!

Mio: Sweets right? Inside those two swellings must be packed with sweets!

Tyutti: A, hey!? S, stop! Ah…

Mio: Hand it over, damn you!

Simone: Hey, Mio! Stop! Look, the men are watching!

Mio: Eh? A…

Simone: Good grief…Hey! Masaki! Tsrein! Even Gennadii! Don't stare!

Masaki: U, wa, sorry.

Tsrein: S, sorry!

Gennadii: Hmm, you noticed?

Tyutti: ...Mio~. wth are you thinking?

Mio: But~... although I don't grow at all…

Tyutti: Ah, the breast? Even though such a thing is only ill at ease…

Mio: Good grief... How can one understand the one who doesn't!

Becky: Whoa, whoa. Calm down.

Mio: Prescia~, you must understand right? You are one of the big four Antilles Corp tiny breasts.

Prescia: E, er... I don't understand well but, I also grew a bit, maybe…

Mio: W, what!? Traitor! Then, the tiny breast demon king, Charian-san…

Charian: ...Who is the tiny breast demon king!?

Mio: Wah!? Just when did you?

Charian: Just when what! What is that disreputable nickname! I'm as much as anyone else…

Mio: Yes yes, I know. That is your looks, your looks.

Charian: Wwww... what is that?

Mio: You don't have to hide. We're good friends since we're the same.

Charian: No, that's why I…

Demeksa: Er~, if you cover the entrance I can't get in…

Mio: A, Demeksa-san.

Charian: Ah, s, sorry. I'll step aside now.

Demeksa: Yeah, thanks. Rodney-san, Eris-san, there are rooms here.

Rodney: Oh, I see. What's with those noises?

Tyutti: Don't mind it.

Oh, Eris, what's wrong?

Eris: Eh? A... no, nothing.

Tyutti: Really? Then good but…

Masaki: Old man Rodney, I wanna ask you a bit.

Rodney: Eh? What?

Masaki: The ace before... Sandriv right? You said they're twins?

Rodney: Yeah, right. Originally fighting by two persons is their natural tactic.

Masaki: ...There is one more person? That is certainly tough.

Rodney: No, the other one is in the north.

Masaki: What? Why? They are twins right?

Rodney: To say it simple, each of their parents is an important officer of the south and north respectively.

Eris: So, those two are separated.

Mio: ...even though they are our enemy, they are in poor position.

Rodney: Yeah, right. This civil war is only a tragedy. Even though we understood that, why can't we avoid it!

Eris: ...How about let's make a suggestion to Elsine-sama?

Mio: What suggestion?

Eris: A speech about the peace of the whole Shutedonias nation.

Rodney: Right... That is probably good. Elsine has great influence.

Mio: ...I wonder if public opinion will be moved by only speech?

Rodney: Let's try whatever we can do.

Masaki: ...Elsine?

Ryune: ? Masaki, what's wrong with you?

Masaki: Ah, no, nothing. Xenia, how long will it take if we carry out the plan just now?

Xenia: I see... First we must contact the news agency, then prepare the audience's seat… Well, it takes roughly 3 hours for it to be done.

Masaki: I see. We've to work through Representative. I'll go to the church and persuade Elsine. 

#Scene 371#

Masaki: Phew…(This is troublesome... Why does everyone hold a grudge against me... Shit! I feel bad...)

Ryune: Masaki, are you there?

Masaki: ...Ryune? Sorry, could you leave me alone now?

Ryune: ...I must apologize first. Sorry.

Masaki: Eh?

Ryune: Oh no, I broke it.

Masaki: H, hey!? You didn’t break it! What are you doing!!

Ryune: ...Because I thought that I can't leave you alone like this now.

Masaki: What…

Ryune: Masaki, you worry right? Mudeka, moreover Margaret.

Masaki: ...Not really.

Ryune: Take it easy. I understand. Because, in the past I also did the same thing to you…

Masaki: A... I see. Right…

Ryune: Because they ain't simple like me, they acted in that way but… Even I, probably I'll do the same thing if I took one wrong step.

Masaki: N, no... You are…

Ryune: It doesn't mean that I understand them but... At least, I'm always your friend Masaki.

Masaki: Y, yeah…

Ryune: You feel better now?

Masaki: Yeah, thank you. This time I'll give you a feast.

Ryune: Um, I'm glad about it. Bye.

Masaki: ...Fuu. Eh? Aah!? The door is broken!? 

#Scene 372#

Elsine: I see... But do you really think my word has that much influence?

Rodney: No one but you can do it.

Eris: I want the public opinion to be touched by your word. Also to end this stupid war…

Elsine: ...Understood. I'll do everything I can to help you.

Xenia: I already linked to the news agency so I'm sure the intermediation camera will arrive soon.

Eris: Then, Elsine-sama, this way.

Xenia: Intermediation preparation Ok. I'm ready anytime.

Mio: Then, Elsine, we rely on you.

Elsine: Got it.

Mio: 5 seconds until the speech! 3, 2, 1... queue!

Elsine: The citizens of Shutedonias. I'm Elsine Theresia of Aquabina cultivation party. Today I came here because I want you to listen to one thing. Now, Shutedonias is confronting an unprecedented national crisis. The north and the south divided, family, brothers, friends hate each other. ...It is sad. What can we say if it is not tragic.

Rodney: Indeed an expert.

Demeksa: The prana is different.

Elsine: All is nothing but the misunderstanding borns from trivial discrepancy. What can be solved just by fighting? Now we should think again one more time: people were given words for what? New hatred will be borned from war. To stop that endless cycle of evil, let me stand on this place.

Ryune: Hmph... Elsine is a person that thinks that way? ? Masaki, what's wrong?

Masaki: Eh? A, no… (What can be solved from fighting? Then, what are us?)

Ryune: ...Masaki.

Masaki: …

Prescia: (I feel I met that person Elsine before... But where?) 

#Scene 373#

Wagener: How is the movement of the north and the south?

Xenia: At the present, the response seems very good. Because a lot of people watched that speech, and it was up on the internet.

Rodney: Please go well... I beg you.

Xenia: Ah…

Masaki: What's wrong?

Xenia: The army of the north moved!

Rodney: Damn, just after we fought the south, this time it is the north?

Eris: It looks like even Elsine-sama's speech is helpless…

Wagener: It can't be helped. Let's stop them.

Xenia: Ah, wait!

Masaki: What's wrong!?

Xenia: The south also began to move! Even though we beat them a while ago…

Masaki: Let's leave the south later! Anyhow, first we've to beat the north! Are you alright with that, Representative?

Wagener: Yeah, that is the very best.

Stage 14: Two justices 

#Scene 374 (Map)#

Akraid: Ah, so you headed for us, Antilles Corp…

Riciel: What should we do, staff officer Barom?

Akraid: Well, since they came, there is no choice but to fight them.

Masaki: Kyoumei again... Moreover, that paint is...

Rodney: Unmistakably another of the twins, Nico.

Mio: Whoa, a troublesome opponent again.

Masaki: The one who doesn't have confidence doesn't need to get involved clumsily! Let's go!

Nico: Masoukishin... Rico fought that thing?

Riciel: What's wrong, lieutenant Sandriv?

Nico: ...No, don't mind me.

Akraid: Well, I'm expecting you to fight in fitness. It is good if you win, but I don't mind your withdrawal if you lose either.

Riciel: Akraid the inscrutable stratagem? I wonder what is the limit of your prediction.

Akraid: Ah, right. Everyone, please don't forget the strategy that I told. 

[Masaki vs Nico]

Nico: Masoukishin Cybuster... Let me witness how much power you have!

Masaki: I see, as expected of the twins. The look is completely the same. 

[Masaki vs Akraid]

Akraid: Oh dear, it is too much for me to be an opponent of the Masoukishin.

Masaki: What's with this guy? Is he really serious? 

[Ryune vs Nico]

Nico: This is the Masouki of the ground? It got good movement. Moreover, the design is nice.

Ryune: What, you've good sense to understand the quality of Valsione. 

[Rodney vs Nico]

Rodney: The Sandriv sisters... If I injured you awkwardly, I'll be hated by everyone.

Nico: You have room to think unnecessary things! 

[Rodney vs Akraid]

Rodney: It is you, Barom.

Akraid: Long time no see, former-general Rodney.

Rodney: Your side must be understaffed for letting you join the battlefield.

Akraid: Thanks to someone who quit the army.

Rodney: Well said. But it is better that you do many things at the homefront. 

[Rodney vs Riciel]

Riciel: Good grief, you're in our way in everything!

Rodney: It is you who is a fool to do such an unnecessary thing! 

[Eris vs Nico]

Eris: The Sandriv sisters? You are worthy of my opponent!

Nico: Former First lieutenant Radius, somewhat you've similar character as us.

Eris: What did you say?

Nico: Nothing! 

[Eris vs Riciel]

Eris: ...It is you again, ensign Grenor.

Riciel: You don't have to hate me that much, former first lieutenant Radius. 

*Riciel defeated*

Riciel: Shit, so it is true that the plan only setup until this point... 

*Nico defeated*

Nico: Shit... Indeed great. Let me retreat for an instant. 

*Akraid defeated*

Akraid: Well, that's enough for today. Retreat.

  1. Scene 375#

Masaki: Even though it wasn't a big fight, those guys are very tough.

Xenia: Because of the exactness of their tactical judgement. The commanding officer is superior.

Rodney: Not only the commanding officer, the staff officer is excellent. I mean the guy called Akraid Barom. That is again, an unpleasant tactic establishment.

Xenia: Akraid Barom... I wonder if he needs special care.

Wagener: By this, we stopped the invasion strategy of the north. The only next thing is the progress of the south but…

Coret: Just now an information entered. The tactic of the south failed.

Bradroy: Failure? That is out of our prediction... Why is that difference in war potential…

Coret: Because the information itself is complicated, I don't understand the details but... they were divided and were completely beaten.

Becky: Anyhow, at this point it is a draw due to damage to both sides.

Tyutti: Right. At this rate the state of abeyance will continue for a while.

Demeksa: But, it basically doesn't solve anything. If things are like this, sooner or later the two factions will fight again.

Wagener: Nonetheless, now let's wait and see. If we intervene awkwardly, the story will become more complicated.

Ryune: Elsine-san's speech also seems ineffective…

Masaki: Yeah... Are there some other ways...

  1. Scene 376#

Riciel: ...Splendid, staff officer Barom.

Akraid: Not that much. We lost more men than I thought... It is my responsibility.

Riciel: You say we failed by that much?

Akraid: At least, we could have minimized the number of casualties…

Riciel: The top brass don't think so right? I'm afraid they'll promote you in a few days.

Akraid: I see... I'm happy if that's true.

Riciel: Oh, as I thought you're a child staff officer. I can't believe you're happy with promotion.

Akraid: Because that is no more than I've to command more squads. If I do so, I can lower even the casualty.

Riciel: A tender matter.

Akraid: Of me? No no. Even if I said lower the death, I haven't said I would lose them. In short, how to kill people effectively, I'm a human that always thinks about only such things from beginning to end.

Riciel: A villain.

Akraid: Yeah, it is probably better than being called hypocrisy.

Riciel: By the way, how will you forestall the state of war from now on, as a staff officer?

Akraid: The damage of the south was big. I don't think they'll react soon.

Riciel: When is soon?

Akraid: The longest period is about one month. We can't make light of their productivity.

Riciel: Then, it is necessary for us to finalize a counterplan during that time.

Akraid: Yeah... It seems we'll be very busy. I hate it... 

#Scene 377#

Ahmed: You call me as soon as I return?

Masaki: Yo, Ahmed. You finished collecting information?

Ahmed: It is settled for the time being. I have made a few connections with the south.

Masaki: What, well done for making that connection that simple.

Ahmed: It is not that simple. I explained our position properly, and if they don't understand, I can't make a connection.

Masaki: Explain properly... You told them it is Antilles Corp foolishly honest right?

Ahmed: Depending on occasion, honesty becomes the greatest weapon. That is the basic of secret information. Remember that.

Masaki: You serious? I've thought the intelligence division is like out-foxing each other…

Rodney: Oh, everyone gathered.

Masaki: Oh, Rodney? Why did you suddenly call everyone?

Rodney: Sorry. I've an important announcement: I want to talk to everyone.

Mio: Important announcement?

Rodney: Yeah, er... I've good news from Eris.

Simone: Good news is... pregnancy!?

Eris: Y, yes... I understand that from the medical examination before. They said it is already two months along.

Becky: Congrats.

Mio: 2 months ago is... the time when the battle with Rasetsu and Tuddy ended, right? You're fast, old man.

Tyutti: Congrats. Certainly it is an important announcement.

Rodney: Yeah, but don't cut my line. I haven't finished.

Masaki: What? Don't put on air and tell us quickly.

Rodney: I and Eris want to withdraw from Antilles Corp.

Masaki: W... What!?

Rodney: I know it is selfish! But... I have no choice.

Masaki: You abandon the duty of a Masouki pilot!?

Wagener: Calm down Masaki. You've heard about Eris right?

Masaki: A... So that's the reason?

Rodney: Right, that's the first reason. Anyway, Eris can't pilot for a while.

Masaki: I understand that but... Why did that old man quit piloting in one jump?

Rodney: I already thought... We want to do something about the civil war of Shutedonias.

Masaki: But that is also the same with us.

Rodney: But Antilles Corp could only do it from the outside. If it is us, we can change it from the inside.

Eris: We still have Shutedonias nationality. Moreover, Rodney has connections with the government…

Masaki: You plan to become a politician?

Rodney: That's what I think. A soldier only follows orders. But a politician can stand in the position of giving orders.

Masaki: The progress is that simple?

Rodney: Not simple at all. I knew that. But it doesn't mean it is impossible.

Masaki: That means you can't stay together with us?

Rodney: Right. We stayed with you for about 3 months but we see there is a big gap in Antilles Corp.

Masaki: Gap?

Xenia: Network?

Rodney: Xenia seems to get it.

Masaki: What do you mean?

Xenia: To put it simple, we're too close to Langran. Especially compared to Shutedonias and Bagonia.

Masaki: It can't be helped. Our base is at Langran.

Xenia: From now, can't be helped, don't cut it. I've said that Antilles Corp is like an independent nation right? Nonetheless, we're in the state we almost don't have diplomatic relation with Shutedonias and Bagonia.

Masaki: Treaty connection? But that is the Federation's?

Xenia: That's how it is in the public but, do you think Shutedonias and Bagonia really trust us?

Masaki: ...If it is so things won't become like this.

Xenia: That's why. If Rodney can touch the public opinion in Shutedonias, their point of view towards us might change. If it went well, supporting cash isn't even a dream.

Masaki: For money? Such a thing is…

Xenia: Well, that's the appendix. It is easy for us to act if Rodney became our negotiator with Shutedonias. Moreover, I want to receive a lot of information.

Rodney: Yeah, just so you know, I won't leak state secrets.

Xenia: I know. I didn't expect that much of a luxury.

Wagener: Um, so the situation was understood. The next thing is the decision of the Masoukishin pilots.

Masaki: ...You seem very determined, Rodney.

Rodney: Sorry... After all I, Eris and that child... I only was thinking of protecting my family first.

Masaki: Family...?

Rodney: I think you'll understand if you've one.

Masaki: Tyutti, Mio. What do ya think?

Tyutti: I won't interrupt the matter the real person decided.

Mio: I'm sad but... But, I understand the old man's words. That's why I concur.

Masaki: ...Got it. Do what you like.

Wagener: Look like the verdict was made. As an Antilles Corp representative, I officially allow Rodney and Eris' withdrawal.

Rodney: Sorry. Even though we're together only a short time, it was a good experience for me.

Eris: We can't thank you enough.

Wagener: Then, please take the procedure. You will return to your original nationality at the north of Shutedonias, good?

Rodney: Yeah, I don't mind. The north might have disadvantage in war potential but that's where we can demonstrate our skill.

Eris: Yeah.

Mio: Hey, you guys leaving the ship right away?

Rodney: Yeah. We don't carry that much luggages. If the procedure is finished, we plan to leave right away.

Mio: Even so there is a bit of time left right? Let's have a farewell party.

Becky: Yeah, that's good. Let's use the cafeteria and go all out. 

#Scene 81#

Masaki: …

Ryune: Ah, Masaki. You are dreaming again.

Masaki: ...Because I have something to think about.

Ryune: About Rodney?

Masaki: Yeah. The old man stayed at Shutedonias to protect his country and family.

Ryune: Not only that. He mentioned the whole La Gias kingdom.

Masaki: Yeah, right.

Ryune: Since he already had a family that he must protect, he only changed his priority right?

Masaki: A family that you must protect? I don't have any. I lost everything on the surface.

Ryune: It is not like that! Don't say something so sad!

Masaki: Eh?

Ryune: Because... You have us. Don't you consider us a family?

Masaki: Family...?

Ryune: I thought so. The Antilles Corp are family.

Masaki: Oh... Really. Like a family... True. 

#Scene 82#

Wendy: How is your seat on Delgiran, Mefil?

Mefil: Just right~.

Wendy: Because your height and Eris are almost the same, I don't think I need to modify it.

Mefil: But~, is it really okay? Me piloting the Delgiran~.

Wendy: There are no problems in the elemental fitness test. It is fine. You can manage the Delgiran.

Mefil: I hope so.

Wendy: If you’re worried, how about training while on patrol? Together with Tsrein.

Mefil: Ah, that is good. Ufufu~, going out with Tsrein-san~.

Wendy: You two are close friends.

Mefil: Yes~. Ah, By the way what will we do with Gadifall~?

Wendy: I'll return it to the original armory. Because the progress of Masouki recently is terrible, bringing it out on the front is really painful.

Mefil: The mass products are different from custom made, there are limits to their improvement right?

Wendy: ...From now on, I should prepare the reserve Masoukis earlier than usual but…

Mefil: ? Is there something difficult~?

Wendy: Consider what happened to Tian, it seems necessary to revise the construction of all Masoukis. But I don't mean right away.

Mefil: Ah... So that's how it was…

Wendy: Ah, you don't need to worry much. Since it is the problem of construction to the utmost, for now no particular problem is detected.

Mefil: Yes~. Understood~. Nice to meet you, Delgiran~. 

#Scene 83#

Masaki: You are serious about that?

Xenia: VERY SERIOUS. Since they foresaw us being short-handed, they used us.

Masaki: Used or whatever, that that guy is a criminal right!?

Xenia: They said by the time he was attached to the Antilles Corp, the crime was erased. It is plea bargaining.

Masaki: Enough talk!

Simone: Wait, what is the noise? I even hear your voice from outside.

Demeksa: Please calm down.

Masaki: Whoa... You've come just the right time. Gather everyone for me. I want to hear their opinion.

Xenia: I've already made the arrangement. We need to bring this to the team anyway.

Masaki: You are good at wrangling as usual.

Simone: What is the matter?

Xenia: To say just now, since it turns into a strife like Masaki, everyone gathered here.

Demeksa: It looks like a dangerous story~.

Wagener: So all the main members are here.

Mio: But I didn't see Tsrein and Mefil.

Wagener: Yeah, since those two are in the middle of patrolling, they are absent this time.

Becky: Then, what? You must have something very important to say?

Wagener: The discussion this time was called by Xenia. Thus, I'll let Xenia explain.

Xenia: Yeah, a new pilot has joined the Antilles Corp.

Tyutti: Eh? Isn't that good?

Masaki: The problem is, the name of our newcomer.

Tyutti: Name you mean? You know him?

Masaki: Yeah, almost all of you here know him.

Mio: Who? Who?

Xenia: ...Gaen.

Becky: Gaen?! You say? Ah!? That guy!?

Xenia: Right. He is originally the assassin of Volkruss' believers and surrendered to us... That Gaen.

Simone: Hold it right there! He is a criminal right!?

Masaki: Haha, you said the same thing as me.

Simone: It is not FUNNY!

Masaki: ...Sorry.

Wagener: Er, please stay cool. Because Xenia will explain the details next. Simone: Ah... I'm sorry.

Xenia: Well. To say it simply, we have business with the Langran government. They asked us to be in charge of Gaen in exchange for Masouki and money.

Ahmed: Hmph... So you mean the Langran government gave up the problem child?

Becky: Or, they've suggested a nonsensical request, right?

Xenia: But, as far as I collected from the data, Gaen's potential is high, even if he is a pilot or a mechanic.

Simone: The problem is his personality?

Xenia: He even showed no abnormality in the psychiatric examination. There are some issues in his cooperative sense but he has no intracerebral hormone.

Mio: I don't know well but he is that much of a problem child?

Becky: Don't you remember, Mio? He was once at the same side with Wulf and Katekis.

Mio: Ah!? The ones who kill Tian-san… It can't be!? How can such a person become our ally!!

Becky: That's what I think too.

Demeksa: Er, can I talk?

Xenia: No problem.

Demeksa: First, can you teach me the pros and cons of that person?

Xenia: Ah, I forgot... Then, leaving aside personal feelings, let me report. First is the merit: he is a supplement to our war power. That would be: the pilot, together with Masouki and of course, money.

Simone: Fishing for money is necessary.

Xenia: The demerit is: a member that can't be trusted comes aboard. For the time being, the result can be easily guessed.

Demeksa: That is true but~.

Becky: Demeksa-san hasn’t met him?

Demeksa: Yeah. I don't mean to object everyone's opinion but, I want to make sure of it by my own eyes one time, that person named Gaen.

Ahmed: Hmm... It is probably good to try to test him.

Simone: You guys... serious!?

Wagener: Well well, it seems we have many opinions. Then shall we vote until we reach an agreement? The side of resistance, hold up your hand.

Simone: Isn't it obvious?

Mio: I also have a bad feeling about this.

Becky: Same for me.

Masaki: I'm against it.

Prescia: Er, me too…

Wagener: 5 people? Then the ones who agree, hold up your hand.

Demeksa: We need a test.

Ahmed: I'll decide by my own eyes.

Tyutti: I can't decide instantly but I don't object. I'll wait and see. So a passive agreement from here.

Ryune: …

Masaki: Ryune!? You, too?

Ryune: If I don't comment on the previous side, you should know right? I only didn't think of an offensive agreement.

Xenia: Then, do you agree or reject?

Ryune: Um... Sorry. Let me withdraw from here.

Xenia: So, 5 were against, 4 were agreed, 1 abstention.

Gennadii: I agree.

Xenia: Ah! Sorry! I forgot Gennadii. That makes 5?

Masaki: Eh? 1, 2, 3... Xenia, you agree too?

Xenia: Isn't it obvious?

Masaki: What?

Xenia: Because there are many ways for me to use him. When needed I even have a method to keep him for life.

Masaki: ...You are very dirty.

Wagener: 5:5:1. That is a nice division.

Masaki: Are you thinking of a majority rule?

Wagener: I don't decide such important matters by a brutish method like majority rule.

Masaki: Then, what will you do?

Wagener: Masaki, Mio, Tyutti. You three decide.

Masaki: You mean you leave the matter to the Masoukishin pilots?

Wagener: Yes. The ones who have the most authority of the Antilles Corp are you guys.

Masaki: What about your opinion? Moreover, what about Yanglong?

Wagener: I only decided at the time I completely separated. I only have the right to act based on the agreement like forcible execution. Since the standards of the Antilles Corp haven't been decided in detail, it is the best this time it is decided by you guys. And if Yanglong is absent, we could only exclude him.

Masaki: We can't contact him?

Wagener: Yeah, for the time being, it is useless.

Masaki: Damn... It can't be helped.

Tyutti: But, if Yanglong were here, I think he would agree.

Masaki: ...Well, it is true. He is dry on this matter.

Mio: ...Masaki, it is up to you.

Masaki: ...I personally object.

Wagener: Then…

Masaki: But, since I hear everyone's opinion, I totally can't decide. That's why, I’ll wait and see before confirming. For the present, I'll give him a chance.

Tyutti: Is it really Ok?

Masaki: Yeah, it is also necessary to confirm carefully what type of guy he is. Mio, is that Ok?

Mio: Yeah. If Masaki gives out that decision, I have no comment.

Masaki: If something happens, we're betting our life on the frontline.

Wagener: Then, let me announce Gaen will officially enter the Antilles Corp.

Masaki: Temporarily, Representative.

Mio: You're harsh.

Xenia: Then, I'll make contact with the public order and the law office.

Masaki: I wonder if Tsrein and Mefil will get angry when they get back.

(Note: On line 2 of this scene, they who foresaw and harass is the government, in case you're confused) 

#Scene 84#

Tsrein: Achoo!!

Mefil: You catch a cold~?

Tsrein: No. There’s something strange in the air…

Mefil: Ufufu~.

Tsrein: ...What? You shouldn't laugh when I feel bad.

Mefil: But. We’ve missed a lot of time. It’s been so long since I’ve gotten to go out with Tsure-chan by just the two of us~.

Tsrein: Quit that! Moreover this is not a date! Patrol, it is a patrol!

Mefil: But even so, there are no signs of enemy right~?

Tsrein: There are terrorists out there! Quick Cell, Dawn Brigade, Church of Volkruss.

Mefil: Oh really? But we don't know when they’ll pop out, so shall we just ignore them?

Tsrein: Fool! We're in the middle of fulfilling our mission. We mustn't be careless!

Mefil: Hmph~, Tsre-chan isn't charming when he keeps worrying~.

Tsrein: That's why, Tsre-chan is…

Tsrein: !? A rescue signal!?

Mefil: Eh? Ah, true~. From Pizen Biochemistry Lab?

Tsrein: The riot of Kaiju... They are heading for the urban area… Not good! We've to be quick!

Mefil: Yes! 

-------------------------
Stage 15: Each prediction
-------------------------

#Scene 85 (Map)#

Tsrein: Ah! Big... Why can they move normally despite that size?

Mefil: The reduced mass and inertia control is marvelous~.

Tsrein: You mean the vivid look of the technical founding of nation Ariel kingdom...?

Mefil: What? You know it Tsre-chan?

Tsrein: Of course! And I’ll only repeat it one more time! No Tsre-chan!

Mefil: Eh~?

Tsrein: It is your first time riding Delgiran right? Don't overdo things.

Mefil: Don't worry~. Eris-san prepared it carefully for me. Everything is perfect~.

Tsrein: !! That’s bad, they’re headed for the town!

Mefil: We can only act as a shield~.

Tsrein: Yeah, let's take the roundabout path!!

Mefil: Ufufu~.

Tsrein: What is that sudden expression?

Mefil: I just remember when we were the officers of school~.

Tsrein: Eh? Ah, yeah. The time of Demon Nereid's riot.

Mefil: There were only two of us fighting at that time~. And now...~

Tsrein: It is similar. But, the enemies this time are Kaiju. Don't drop your caution!

Mefil: Ye~s. 

*Turn 3*

Gaen: ...Looks like everything is okay.

Tsrein: !? You are... Gaen!? Why...

Mefil: Your mech is... Duraxyll?

Gaen: Let me speak. I'm your ally.

Tsrein: What ally!? Don't try to fool us!

Gaen: Please confirm the identification signal. And, also this badge.

Mefil: The identification signal is... indeed Antilles Corp…

Tsrein: The badge also... real!? How did you...?

Gaen: You don't need to know the reason. Please accept the truth. I'm your ally.

Tsrein: Don't mock us! You’re not my ally!

Mefil: Tsre-chan, now is not the time to talk about it~. We have to stop the Kaiju.

Gaen: Hmph. You are more calm, Mefil. Leave things to me. I'll do it properly.

Mefil: You can? Then, we rely on you.

Tsrein: Mefil! What selfish thing are you saying...? Damn, certainly now is not the time for that… Understood! Don't turn your back on us, Gaen!

Gaen: I didn't think of it from the beginning. 

*Turn 5*

Masaki: Yoohoo, I'm still on time! Let me join the party! 

#Scene 86#

Masaki: You mean after all, our will wasn't related to the decision?

Gaen: No. If you guys resist to the bitter end, I just return to the jail like before.

Masaki: Jail eh? By the way, how long did they put you inside there?

Gaen: By total 348 years and 3 months.

Xenia: That is life imprisonment.

Masaki: So, you agree to join?

Gaen: Let me ask in reverse. If you were in my position, would you agree?

Masaki: Never! ...I’m not sure.

Mio: No, I don't think Masaki absolutely rejects the deal.

Ryune: Right.

Masaki: Shut up! That's his problem, not mine! I couldn't care less about his thinking!

Gaen: What will happen if I say I won't agree?

Masaki: ...That is your true feeling?

Gaen: I don't have any skill to know that. My only action is to appear where needed.

Masaki: Well, right but…

Gaen: Then, you should have just ignored my opinion from the beginning.

Masaki: That way of speaking is hard to stomach! You rub every person's nerves the wrong way!

Gaen: Sorry. I don't have the experience to be aware of such things.

Masaki: ...What a troublesome dude.

Wendy: By the way, how did he get Duraxyll?

Xenia: Ah... The truth is that is my original idea. I add a blackbox to Duraxyll's part and control it.

Wendy: ...You did a backroom deal, Xenia-sama.

Xenia: But... Duraxyll is my invention! How can I let any other people do what they like with it!

Wendy: Well, I understand your feeling but... your true motive of accepting Gaen is also because of that, right?

Xenia: ...Yeah. And one more thing…

Wendy: You still have another reason for it?

Xenia: The truth is, I've found an interesting idea while I let the Gaen who is still in prison do the preparation test.

Wendy: Interesting idea?

Xenia: There is a park circuit of a prana converter right? If we cause vapourization fullerene of nano-carbon that…

Wendy: Eh? But if we do such a thing, won’t it overload and the efficiency will become unnecessarily bad?

Xenia: But it will push efficiency to an unbelievable point. Even, 1.2 times!

Wendy: That is... an invention worthy of the Tesla prize.

Xenia: Yeah. That's why I took the patent secretly. In the name of Antilles Corp.

Wendy: Xenia-sama, that is corporate embezzlement…

Xenia: The one being noticed is only me, so don't worry.

Wagener: ...I was also listening.

Xenia: Uncle also understands?

Wagener: Um... It can't be helped.

Masaki: I don't understand what you are discussing?

Xenia: Well, in short it is that Gaen is superior even if he is a mechanic or designer.

Masaki: Xenia, is that why you are attracted to Gaen since you knew that from the beginning?

Xenia: That is not my personal opinion. I only share mutual interest with the Langran government who wanted to drive him away.

Masaki: Good grief. Smooth words make smooth ways. Understood. I accept that he is superior. But I decided to test him a bit longer. Do you agree, Tyutti, Mio?

Tyutti: Yeah... If we care not to touch the secrecy.

Mio: I have one requirement. Stick a GPS to that machine. We just can't simply leave it. If you can do that, okay.

Wagener: Gaen, do you mind it?

Gaen: It is unnecessary to confirm me. I only follow you.

Xenia: Roger. Then, later please go to the doctor's office.

Gaen: Understood.

Wendy: By the way, Xenia-sama. What will we do with Duraxyll?

Xenia: Temporarily, let's trust it to Gaen. But, because it still has many problems, I don't think we should create a new model from it.

Wendy: Got it.

Tyutti: Even so, you did well. Tsrein, Mefil.

Tsrein: Thank you!

Masaki: Right, great effort.

Xenia: Thanks to you, we received cash from the government. Let me use it for remodelling. 

[Get 50000 credit]

Tyutti: By the way, what was the cause of the riot?

Mefil: There was a trace that was erased by someone~.

Xenia: Erased? On the computer made from Ariel kingdom? I can't believe there is a guy who can do that beside us… Ah! Chaos!?

Mefil: Er... I don't really care to ask you but... Who is Chaos?

Xenia: A hacker with remarkable ability. His real name is unclear. He challenged the cyberterrorism intelligence division many times.

Wendy: If I'm not mistaken... I remember he is a rival of Xenia-sama.

Xenia: He is NOT my rival! ...Sure, I was taken in many times but…

Simone: He forestalled Xenia-sama by computer? That is again, a tough opponent.

Xenia: Mefil, can I look up the data from here?

Mefil: Ah, yes. I'm fine with it but~. Isn't it faster for you to use Dukakis?

Xenia: Ah, right... Let's go to the computer room. 

#Scene 87#

Xenia: ...I see, this?

Mefil: Yes~, that trace.

Xenia: It is correct but, this program is the program that controls the basic action of Kaiju, right? I wonder how they can insert a virus in such a basic program…

Mefil: Then, you say it was inserted during the time they set up this program~?

Xenia: Yeah, Ariel kingdom planned that from the start... We can't put aside that possibility.

Mefil: But, you have said this falsification is Chaos's work.

Xenia: Right. In other words, Chaos probably has some connection with Ariel kingdom. That's my opinion.

Mefil: You mean the merchants of death and the remarkable hacker joined hands? That's a big deal~.

Xenia: I understand that we must investigate for more details but... The separation of Shutedonias is also another big matter.

Mefil: Anyway, I'll try to report while checking the parts of Ariel kingdom production in the government.

Xenia: Well, I wonder if it is probably useless. They are too many. Moreover, if you suggest that, even Hringhorni we are using is a copy of Ariel kingdom's.

Mefil: I see…

Xenia: Moreover it isn't clear for us with this erased-trace as the only evidence. We must catch the tail of Ariel kingdom in some way. 

#Scene 88#

Folch: Then, pardon me to leave the ship since my mission is complete.

Wagener: We appreciate your efforts. By the way, what is your valuation about us?

Folch: I can't tell you clearly but, I could only say not bad.

Wagener: That's better than I hoped for.

Folch: But, you have to do something about the mischievous children in your party.

Wagener: Um, but isn't it rather good for them to be enthusiastic?

Folch: I'm sorry leader, but I think they are too erratic.

Wagener: Please stop calling me leader. I'm representative.

Folch: Then, Representative, be sure to hold them together tightly.

Wagener: I'll try my best to do it positively.

Folch: Hmm... I don't think that is very promising. Then…

Wagener: Yes, goodbye. 

#Scene 89#

Masaki: …Hm

Gaen: …

Masaki: …

Gaen: …

Masaki: ...Hey

Gaen: …

Masaki: At least answer me, Gaen!

Gaen: ...What?

Masaki: That is your normal dress?

Gaen: Right.

Masaki: And your other clothes?

Gaen: I brought 1 dozen of the same outfit.

Masaki: That much of the same type!?

Gaen: Isn't that the same with you?

Masaki: Because it is the thing that I promised… No!! You, make a more proper fashion!

Gaen: Why do I have to do as you say?

Masaki: Shut up! That black outfit is suspicious!

Gaen: There is no necessity for me to do things that fit your personal imagination.

Masaki: Noisy! That's an order! Buy proper clothes!

Gaen: Order? Then I'll do as you wish.

Masaki: ...What? Why when I say order you obey it like a kitten?

Gaen: Of course. I follow orders absolutely. That's my rule.

Masaki: ...Good grief.

Ryune: Hey, I even hear your voices from outside. Are you having a quarrel?

Wendy: Don't do that.

Prescia: Brother, you're always like that.

Masaki: No, you got it wrong... I'm talking about his clothes.

Ryune: Clothes? Which reminds me you are always in that style.

Gaen: You say that too.

Masaki: That's why, stop that give and take! Most of all, let's go and buy another pair of clothes! I mean it!

Wendy: You mean, for Gaen?

Masaki: Yeah, right.

Ryune: By the two?

Masaki: Isn't that good? If he chose by himself, he'll surely buy the same one.

Wendy: Masaki will choose clothes?

Ryune: No, stop that.

Prescia: I don't think that is Ok.

Masaki: W-why?

Ryune: Because Masaki has a bad sense of fashion.

Wendy: Yeah, right.

Prescia: That's also my thinking.

Masaki: What... You people have no qualification to tell me that!

Wendy: The viewpoint of man and woman are different.

Ryune: Right right. We must move easily, work easily. Because of that, we're in this dressing.

Wendy: Ordinary clothes have many meanings.

Prescia: Brother, don't tell me you don't agree with my clothes?

Masaki: N, no, not that…

Ryune: First of all, I doubt you know the location of a fashion store.

Masaki: Ah, hmm, understood. We'll bring you girls along. And, I'll leave the choice on you.

Gaen: ...You ignore my opinion from the beginning? 

#Scene 90#

Ryune: Ah, they are selling something delicious. I wonder what's that?

Prescia: Pudding, or, what...? Ah, I remember. It is like crepe on the ground.

Wendy: It is the smell of cashmint. Look yummy.

Masaki: You guys. We don't come here to play.

Ryune: Yeah, right. We come to buy clothes.

Masaki: By the way, they are around here?

Wendy: Yeah, we're almost there.

????: I see you Masaki. Moreover Prescia is also here.

Masaki: Eh? Who are you?

Gaen: Masaki... Move back.

Masaki: Eh? Why?

Gaen: ...You don't know? That guy... He isn't an ordinary person.

????: What? You don't have to be that cautious. I'm sure you are the former member of the Church of Volkruss's assassin, Gaen.

Gaen: ...Who are you?

Elan: I'm Elan Zenosakis.

Prescia: Eh? Zenosakis...?

Elan: You can say I'm your relative, Prescia. But the bloodline is 2000 years ago.

Prescia: Is that so? Then, nice to meet you.

Elan: ...Hmph.

Prescia: Eh? What is the matter with you?

Elan: No, don't mind me. It is not a big problem. More than that, Masaki, there is one thing I want to ask you.

Masaki: ...What?

Elan: Which is your favorite?

Masaki: ...What favorite?

Elan: The alchemist lady or the upper ground lady?

Wendy: Alchemist? You mean me?

Ryune: The other seems to be me.

Masaki: That's why, what are you talking about?

Elan: Good grief, you don't have a taste at all. I'm asking you WHO IS YOUR LOVER?

Masaki: What!?

Wendy: Eh...?

Ryune: Ah…

Masaki: W, what!? Why are you two staring at me!? You asked a clever question, Elan! What are you planning!?

Elan: Because I'm thinking who shall be my hostage.

Masaki: Hostage!? For what reason!?

Elan: I wanna die with you. Because if I say it normally, I don't think you'll accept.

Masaki: Of course! What is the meaning of that action!?

Elan: It is meaningful to me. To master the God Eternity Style.

Gaen: ...As I thought that carriage is God Eternity Style.

Elan: Ah, just so you know, Gaen. I don't plan to play with you. Your level is like a dime a dozen.

Gaen: …

Masaki: God Eternity Style... The blade school that old man Zeoroot had used, huh?

Elan: Even you can use it?

Masaki: I don't learn it officially.

Elan: ...I see.

Masaki: I don't have any reason to tell you lies.

Elan: What... Interesting. Thereupon, you mean you're using it and absorb it without consciousness? No doubt, a well said school of nature.

Masaki: I don't know what nonsense you are talking about! Quickly go home if you're done with your business!

Elan: It is too late for me to go. Since I already listened to your story, if I don't test you I won't be satisfied.

Moreover, I want to show you one thing…

Masaki: ...What does that mean!?

Elan: It is good for you, so quickly call out Cybuster. Because the thing I'll show you is really interesting.

Masaki: You will show us a Masouki inside this town!?

Elan: How troublesome. I don't care a fuck about that thing. Come! Zelvoid!

Masaki: Eh... That is…

Wendy: Ah…

Ryune: Black... Cybuster?

Elan: It is Zelvoid. And, this is the original one.

Masaki: You... What are you planning to do!?

Elan: Haven't I already said? I wanna die with you. But I prefer Masouki over human form. So that's it, quickly call out Cybuster. I don't mind if you call for an ally. If you don't do it quickly, I'll destroy this town.

Masaki: W...What did you say!?

Elan: Oh, your expression changed. No doubt, this method is effective.

Masaki: I don't want to know what you are thinking, but I'll never permit you to destroy the town!!

Elan: Oh, so you finally understand. Then, I'll wait for you.

Masaki: Kuh! Can you hear me, Hringhorni!? I'm Masaki! Send me Cybuster to the suburb of the town! Later, do the same for Ryune, Prescia and Gaen!!

Wendy: I will return to Hringhorni right away!

Masaki: Wait, Wendy! That Masouki... isn't an ordinary thing. It is safer for you to stay inside Cybuster.

Wendy: Yeah... Understood. 

------------------------
Stage 16: Elan Zenosakis
------------------------

#Scene 91 (Map)#

Elan: So finally you came. Then, let me explain the rule. 30 minutes from now, if you can bear my attack, you win Masaki. And if you lose, the town will be destroyed.

Masaki: Rule!? We aren't playing games!!

Elan: If I won't do that, I won't be able to draw out your full potential. It is a necessary step.

Masaki: You...!! You think you can defeat 4 of us alone!?

Elan: Of course. Watch carefully. My power... , and Zelvoid's true power!

Masaki: What... T, that is…

Wendy: Don't tell me... Possession!?

Elan: Right, this is the potential of the original. You've experienced it once but... After all that's all a copy can do.

Masaki: You keep saying original, copy... You treat Cybuster as a fake!?

Elan: Because the truth is so, it can't be helped right?

Masaki: You!!

  • Turn 2*

Elan: You're weak... Too weak. If you can't settle an even match with me, you better surrender.

????: Oh dear, what a strange situation.

????: Hey, Deming! We're here for assassination, right!?

Deming: It can't be helped since they're in our way. Not only that, they're in Masouki. Or, Dihigo, you think you can do it alone?

Dihigo: Uh…

Masaki: Who are those guys...?

Elan: Ah, they are mercenary soldiers aiming at you.

Masaki: What?

Elan: What? You didn't notice? They're following you from downtown all the way.

Masaki: Eh...?

Elan: Well, they are worthless to be my opponent, so I'll leave them alone. 

*Turn 3*

Xenia: Unbelievable!? It looks really like Cybuster!

Mio: Moreover... That is Possession!?

Simone: Probably a very strong enemy…

Masaki: Yeah, don't push yourself! 

*Turn 3 (Enemy phrase)*

Elan: Disappointing. You think you can survive from now on with that degree of power? 

*Turn 4*

Guido: I'm on time somehow.

Masaki: A new Masouki. Who is riding it!?

Guido: Long time no see, Masaki. We haven't met since the banquet.

Masaki: Eh? Ah... It's Guido. Guido...what?

Guido: Seehofer. Guido Seehofer. From today, I and Dinflair will join Antilles Corp.

Masaki: You really volunteer for Antilles Corp…

Xenia: Dinflair! I see, because Dinforce was like that, it received an upgrade.

Guido: Well, me too. I'm being selected as its pilot due to Tian's death.

Xenia: Hmm, you're too humble.

Guido: I after all, just a good-for-nothing.

Masaki: What about your skill?

Guido: I did repeated-practice diligently. I'll show you a good result here.

Masaki: Good will. Then, show us that skill. 

*Turn 4 (Enemy phrase)*

Elan: I think that you could have done better. Well, well, I wonder if I overestimate you too much? 

*Zelvoid received damage*

Elan: Hmph... Nice try. Hahaha, keep it up. 

*And the next turn...*

Elan: Hmph... It is Ok I guess. The rule seems to give you advantage. Since you can really hold me, I'm happily accepting my defeat.

Masaki: But you haven't accepted it obediently at all!

Elan: Well, since I earned the result, promise is promise. Pardon me for not being here long.

Masaki: Damn, he is gone. 

*Zelvoid's HP pass half or defeated*

Elan: I see... Truly interesting swordsmanship. If you train more, surely…

Masaki: Don't grumble! We prepared for the worst!

Elan: That's all for today. The time still hasn't come…

Masaki: What selfish thing are you talking about!?

Elan: Hahaha, well, the fun is still ahead. Bye.

Masaki: Ah!? Wait!! 

[Masaki vs Elan]

Elan: Well, show me your power.

Masaki: Don't make light of me! What are you after!

Elan: Oh dear... Even if you're supposed to be the successor of Randole, you're vulgar.

Masaki: ...That way of talking makes me remember him! I'm mad! 

[Tyutti vs Elan]

Tyutti: How did you do Possession...?

Elan: Tyutti Norrback? If you want to understand me, first you've to fix your poor swimming skill.

Tyutti: !? Why you... That's none of your business! 

[Mio vs Elan]

Mio: So this is Possession... What pressure!

Elan: You are Mio Sasuga right?

Mio: Eh? You know me? Maybe, I'm famous?

Elan: It is meaningful. You're also a very interesting sample. Anyhow, you're unique…

Mio: Eh? Unique?

Elan: ...Let's stop this conversation. We're on different wave-lengths.

Mio: Hey, what's that half-concealed line? Recover carefully from the hint! 

[Ryune vs Elan]

Ryune: You will be in trouble if you dig a bit more deeply into that!

Elan: ? What is that?

Ryune: That's why! The story of which is your favorite!

Elan: ...! That? I think it is useless. He is the type that can't decide who. 

[Xenia vs Elan]

Xenia: The details are different but the silhouette is really the same... Record, record.

[Xenia vs Dihigo] Dihigo: You are... the princess of Langran?

Xenia: So what?

Dihigo: This is just right. I can't digest you from before!

Xenia: ...Me too. I now really hate you! 

[Prescia vs Elan]

Prescia: I won't let you destroy the town!

Elan: I see. You have mastered the basics.

Prescia: Eh? What?

Elan: I admire your ability. You're truly the daughter of Zeoroot.

Prescia: Eh? Ah, thank you very much.

Elan: ...If Zeoroot live, I won't have to go through this hardship. 

[Gaen vs Elan]

Gaen: Let me see your skill of God Eternity Style.

Elan: Sorry. You will never reach that level.

Gaen:...What?

Elan: Because you lack internal quality.

Gaen: Lack? wth did you mean!?

Elan: You won't be able to understand even if I explain it to you. Well, I think someday you'll realize it. 

#Scene 92#

Wagener: Let me introduce another new member. The pilot of the new Masouki Dinflair, Guido Seehofer.

Guido: Nice to meet you. I hear all the ladies in Hringhorni are beautiful. It is not wrong from the rumor, a paradise.

Masaki: Hey hey, you completely ignore the men.

Simone: Even though you are a stiff German, you're also a rare seducer.

Guido: You are a famous French woman since there are many beautiful ladies right? Nice to meet you, Miss.

Simone: I'm Simone Curian. Just so you know, I'm not welcoming you.

Guido: Oh, you feel something annoying?

Simone: Because I hate Germans.

Guido: May I hear your reason?

Simone: It is not a big thing. It is my personal experience.

Guido: Then, will you give me a chance to overturn that personal prejudice?

Simone: ...If I feel like.

Xenia: Guido, are you a former member of MAD?

Masaki: What is MAD?

Mio: Earth Federation Northern Europe Army... In other words, it is the military security department of ex-German national defense troop. It is less famous compared to the BND that derived from Galen facility but it is a superior organization.

Guido: ...You know very well.

Mio: Kind of.

Xenia: By the way, which section did you belong to?

Guido: I have experience in both section: the 2nd division of terrorism counterplan and the 3rd division of counterintelligence.

Xenia: Yes! An experienced person! Hey, hey, will you help me with my intelligence division?

Guido: I'm glad about that.

Xenia: Well! Maintain a talented person!

Masaki: Xenia's heart is set on the intelligence division.

Xenia: Of course! Because information is the life force of independent troops like us!

Masaki: Understood. You don't have to be that serious.

Ahmed: Hmm, then I'm relieved while not being together with you guys anymore.

Masaki: Eh? What did you just say, Ahmed?

Ahmed: I'll withdraw from Antilles Corp.

Masaki: Wait! Why do you suddenly...!

Ahmed: Not suddenly. The story advanced from a long time ago.

Masaki: I heard of it the first time!

Ahmed: I see. Because I haven't talked to you.

Masaki: Why!?

Ahmed: Well, because I couldn't. Not to say I suppress your emotion forcibly but, this time, your emotion wins too much. Calm down a bit.

Masaki: Damn... Does the Representative know this?

Wagener: I and him have discussed. But in the end I've to give most priority to the personal decision of a Masouki pilot.

Masaki: ...Then tell me your excuse, Ahmed.

Ahmed: It is simple. The Antilles Corp as an independent troop until now have a lethal gap. You cooperate with Shutedonias and Bagonia but I can't say it is good at all. You can say it can't be helped because the force is created by Langran but it doesn't mean we can just leave the situation alone. Because of that, I will leave the Corp, collect independent information, look up at the network. Luckily, I have a lot of experience on how to do it. Depending on how it goes, I bet it is faster to deepen the bond of each country and to get correct information. That's my duty.

Masaki: ...You devote yourself to becoming the one behind the scene?

Ahmed: Yeah. I'm congenial with that. I haven't abandoned the duty of a Masouki pilot. But I'll give you back the Solguddy. I think it is necessary for Antilles Corp, since it is a good machine.

Masaki: ...Well, I have nothing to say if you prepared that much. But, don't you need Solguddy to accomplish your mission?

Ahmed: No, I already trust it to Gaen. I think it fits him. I'll get a reserve Gadifall.

Masaki: ...So that's how the story goes without me?

Ahmed: It will only be longer if I discuss it with you first. By the way, you agree?

Masaki: I understand but I don't agree. To be frank, I'm worried about losing the senior pilots one by one.

Ahmed: Hmph... You want to say you feel sad? You are emotional.

Masaki: Shut up! I don't object! But, if you want to go I have one requirement: let me open a farewell party for you.

Ahmed: Hmph... I don't really like unnecessary parties but…

Masaki: Let's do a sukiyaki party like the old days. Ok?

Ahmed: ...Yeah. That is certainly fun.

Masaki: Then, it is decided. Let's put it together with Guido's welcome party. 

[Return Solguddy's upgraded cost]

#Scene 93#

Masaki: ...So he's gone.

Wendy: You mean Ahmed?

Masaki: Yeah... That unsociability dude is gone…

Wendy: Haha... As I thought, you're emotional Masaki.

Masaki: That is bad?

Wendy: No. I think it fits you Masaki.

Masaki: Damn… Yeah, which reminds me of the affair of daytime…

Wendy: Eh? Ah... Zelvoid?

Masaki: Yeah. That bastard Elan said Cybuster is a fake thing… Wendy: …

Masaki: Eh? What's wrong? You don't feel angry, Wendy?

Wendy: The truth is... I know something that you don't like.

Masaki: What is that?

Wendy: Wasn't Cybuster constructed based on an idea that is wholly different from other Masoukishin?

Masaki: Yeah, I thought so. It can transform, and has a tail. Well, the tail isn't related?

Wendy: The truth is my memory when I created Cybuster is a bit vague.

Masaki: Vague?

Wendy: Yeah... Perhaps... It is related to Sister…

Masaki: Tuddy? But wasn't she appeared to the public after the destruction of the royal capital? The construction of Cybuster was long before that. How could Tuddy be related?

Wendy: You can't say that... I and Sister share memories but it isn't perfect. Inside my memory, there are many memories that are completely missing before that event.

Masaki: Then, you mean Tuddy also involved in the construction of Cybuster?

Wendy: ...Probably. Maybe Sister knew how to create it by looking at Zelvoid somewhere… And I was affected by that and created Cybuster... That's why they look the same…

Masaki: You must be imagining, since there is no evidence. Cybuster is a masterpiece. Wendy, be confident of yourself.

Wendy: Y, yeah... Thank you, Masaki. 

#Scene 94#

Gaen: Solguddy? I see a good machine.

Xenia: The compatibility looks good. Well, if it even Ahmed, Solguddy has a really open-mind.

Gaen: That way of speaking grows suspicious of me.

Xenia: I can't trust a former member of the Church of Volkruss that simple. But, I admire your fighting style until now. You can be relieved since it doesn't mean I don't trust you completely.

Gaen: What will we do with Duraxyll?

Xenia: That thing is still imperfect. I have to upgrade it more. Moreover, I've unpleasant memory of it…

Gaen: Imperfect? Certainly there was a part that I can't control.

Xenia: As an alchemist, I want to avoid sending imperfect things to the world.

Gaen: The secretiveness of the alchemist organization? I wonder how much technology you are hiding?

Xenia: Don't talk like it is bad. Because the uncontrollable technology is the threat itself. Don't tell me you don't know how much the nation collapsed because of the riot of uncontrollable technologies?

Gaen: You include Langran too?

Xenia: Of course. It is necessary to look back at history by macro point of view.

Gaen: I don't care about consulting but, you can't advance if you are tied too much to that.

Xenia: I hate to say this but, that is also the thought of the Church of Volkruss? Improvement is justice? That's a joke.

Gaen: I don't think of debating with you but... Don't you think Antilles Corp is an improvement more than enough?

Xenia: That is... well, because there are many Earthlings, somewhat.

Gaen: Judging from creating Masoukishin, the Academy has also become an improvement right?

Xenia: That can't be helped. Since there was a prediction of a calamity God.

Gaen: Then, when you're done with that, since they're uncontrollable, you toss them?

Xenia: The Masoukishin is a rare existence that can maintain balance. As long as we have the Masoukishins, the Antilles Corp is acceptable.

Gaen: The contract with high-ranking elemental is that magnificent?

Xenia: The Masoukishin chooses its owner. In other words, if the owner acts against the will of the elemental, that owner will be rejected by the Masoukishin. Until now, there is no precedent.

Gaen: I have a hunch that I'm overestimating the elemental but…

Xenia: Elemental is a collection of human's will that takes a long time to be formed. That even includes human's wisdom. I'm not exaggerating. At least, it can be much more truthful than the person only thinking about this matter now.

Gaen: The typical way of thinking in Langran.

Xenia: It is bad?

Gaen: Well... I refrain from subjective decisions that are called bad or good. Anyway, I acknowledged that I'll be transfered to Solguddy.

Xenia: I'm not interested in suppressing our value judgement on you but, please understand that's how elemental is like.

Gaen: Yeah, I'll keep it in mind. 

#Scene 95#

Xenia: Yes, yes! Listen!

Masaki: What's wrong with you?

Ryune: You collected some money?

Xenia: No. I got results from the intelligence division.

Masaki: Result...? The lunch was yesterday right? They got results today?

Xenia: You are naive. The launch officially is from yesterday but I've done many things steadily so far.

Ryune: Which reminds me, you said something about budget.

Masaki: Then, you discovered something?

Xenia: It is the secret base of the terrorist group Quick Cell.

Masaki: Quick Cell... Who are they?

Xenia: It is Omgared, Omgared!

Masaki: Oh, that sarcastic old man!

Ryune: You found their base?

Xenia: That's what I said so right? The foot of Ginas Mountain, Cytset River.

Masaki: Could it be... The mountain in the north. It was hidden in such a place?

Xenia: It was really tiring for me to find out.

Masaki: That is troublesome. Thank you.

Xenia: Tee hee. Praise me more.

Ryune: You are amazing, Xenia. You’re unbelievable.

Masaki: Right. No one can match Xenia in terms of computers and mechs. Ah, no, Wendy is amazing too.

Ryune: You're always effective at stealing budget right?

Xenia: ...I somehow don't care for being praised at the moment… Well, good anyway. Because of that, I suggest the operation of annihilating the base.

Ryune: I'm okay with that but... are there rewards?

Xenia: More or less, if we capture Omgared the Langran government will give us reward but don't expect much.

Masaki: It is not a matter of money. We must exterminate the root of the terrorist!

Prescia: Brother, you are harsh on terrorists as usual.

Ryune: I understand your feeling but reward is also important.

Xenia: Right. If there is no money, maintenance and remodelling will be hard.

Masaki: Yeah, yeah, understood. Then, I'll do it alone!

Ryune: Hmm, no one has said they object to you right?

Xenia: Let's limit the attacking members. Since it is efficient and it is harder for the enemy to detect.

Masaki: Then, we will go by that. How many members shall we take?

Xenia: Judging from the scale of the base, 7 people will do it.

Masaki: We don't use Hringhorni?

Xenia: Yeah. Because it will cost us a lot to move it.

Ryune: A flying money loser huh?

Masaki: Then, let's decide the members and go to the terrorist's base!

Ryune: But we haven't discussed it with the Representative.

Masaki: Yeah, I forgot. But I don't think he'll reject the plan.

Wagener: Yeah, certainly so but I'm sad to be forgotten.

Masaki: Uoh!? You are here too, Representative?

Wagener: Yeah, I hid myself.

Masaki: Hiding... That's a bad habit.

Wagener: Anyway, I don't object. As long as there is no tactic that is performed by the whole Antilles Corp, I won't interrupt in the conversation.

Masaki: You mean asking for permission?

Wagener: I don't object but, I don't ask for permission either. Go and do it by your own will.

Xenia: If Uncle asks for permission, Uncle must take responsibility right?

Wagener: It is unreasonable to say I will take responsibility for everyone's action.

Masaki: In other words, is it tolerable?

Wagener: Yeah, right.

Masaki: Then, we'll be fast. If something happens, please contact us.

Wagener: Yeah, don't overdo things. 

#Scene 96#

Mio: By the way, all the members gathered?

Masaki: Sort of…

Ryune: You can't omit me right?

Simone: Don't misjudge Zain's stealth ability.

Xenia: If you ignore me you will be in much trouble.

Prescia: Since I'm worried about Brother…

Mio: Such wonderful girls. You happy, Masaki?

Masaki: What are you saying?

Gennadii: ...You forgot me.

Ryune: Eh!? You surprised me! ...Well, I expected that to happen because of before.

Mio: Gen-chan has stealth functions by nature.

Masaki: So that's 7 of us? Everyone, did you prepare the invisible elemental device?

Ryune: I'm all for it.

Masaki: Good. Then let's go. 

#Scene 97#

Mio: This action makes me think about the time we invaded Shutedonias to rescue old man Rodney.

Ryune: That? I can't remember if I'm with you.

Mio: Eh? Really?

Ryune: Masaki, did you remember?

Masaki: Eh? Ah... My memories are also somewhat mixed up. I've a feeling I was with Mio, but I also have a feeling I was with Ryune. Well, either is fine.

Ryune: Good grief, you're so irresponsible.

Mio: That is the condition of Schrodinger's cat. The condition of both sides pile up.

Ryune: You mean the result changes depend on the observer?

Mio: Right right. That is the convenient interpretation by the observer of both sides.

Masaki: How long will you chat tediously? We’re soon to be at electromagnetic control. Ready?

Mio: Roger. 

-------------------------------
Stage 17: Terrorist suppression
-------------------------------

#Scene 98#

Masaki: Xenia, is this the place?

Xenia: It can't be wrong. Even the dowser reacts.

Drep: Omgared! It is the Masoukishins!

Omgared: How the hell did they find out about this place?

Drep: What will we do, my friend?

Omgared: Let's leave thinking for later. We can only counter.

Drep: Roger!

Mio: Uwa! They appeared!

Xenia: Ha.

Omgared: Is this all we can call out?

Drep: Yes, we are in the middle of preparation.

Omgared: ...Then, shall we use that?

Drep: You mean that?

Omgared: Isn't that the only thing remaining?

Drep: But... If we operate that, we’ve used up this place.

Omgared: Since we found it, there is no use of this place anymore. I'll happily move to another destination.

Drep: I see... Roger. Activate the electromagnetic gun!

Masaki: What are those?

Xenia: Electromagnetic guns... Moreover they seem to have very strong fire-power.

Simone: If we're aimed from behind, we can't last for long.

Ryune: Let's clear them quickly.

Omgared: Tell all the members inside the base to evacuate! We'll buy them time! 

*Turn 3*

Wulf: As I thought, the Antilles Corp are here.

Masaki: Wulf!?

Katekis: Hey hey, if you forgot me you're in trouble.

Mio: ...Katekis!!

Masaki: They appear anywhere we go, Church of Volkruss! 

*Drep defeated*

Drep: Hmph... I'm done. I'm outta here. 

*Omgared defeated*

Omgared: Kuh... I fail again. But I don't care. We've accomplished our mission. The next thing is only following the plan. 

[Masaki vs Omgared]

Omgared: Good grief... The annoying Masoukishin.

Masaki: That is my line, terrorist!

Omgared: Not a terrorist. We're revolutionists.

Masaki: You're called a terrorist because you drag the unrelated people! 

[Mio vs Katekis]

Mio: …

Katekis: Eh? What's wrong? I thought you'd scream that you'll avenge that baldy.

Mio: Hmph... There is no need for me to do that to a crook. Tian-san's dying wish is to prevent the reincarnation of Rasphitot and to protect the peacefulness of La Gias.

Katekis: Crook? Why you!! 

[Xenia vs Omgared]

Xenia: How did you get those Svend Type?

Omgared: There are plenty of guys who approve our idealism.

Xenia: That is, Ariel kingdom!?

Omgared: Well, I wonder? 

[Gennadii vs Drep]

Gennadii: Hmm…

Drep: Hmm…

Gennadii: …

Drep: …

Mio: Wait, the two of you! You represent the same kind of character, aren't you? 

*Battle ends*

Masaki: We've exterminated all of them.

Ryune: Seems so.

Gennadii: Hmm, it seems all the terrorist members had escaped.

Xenia: Everyone, let's go inside.

Mio: Eh? Wait! Isn't it dangerous?

Xenia: Why?

Mio: Because, this kind of base is usually the one that will self-destruct.

Xenia: Don't worry. The energy reaction is almost gone. They used up all of it with those electromagnetic guns.

Mio: Yeah, then I'm all with it.

Xenia: Let's get in anyway.

Masaki: It is foolish if we all go inside. Let's see. Me, Xenia, and…

Mio: M, me too!

Simone: Can I go?

Masaki: Ok. Then 4 of us will do it. The others, please wait outside.

Ryune: Roger. Be careful. 

#Scene 99#

Masaki: This is... the mine's trace?

Xenia: Right. But, it is very old. The Ginas Mountain is famous for its mine but that was the story 1500 years ago.

Mio: 1500 years... That's terribly old!

Xenia: Have you forgotten? The history of Langran is 50000 year old.

Mio: I heard that but…

Masaki: The temple of Volkruss is also that old?

Xenia: Yes and no. Volkruss is so old it traces back until the prehistory civilization age. Some of the new followers are known from about 5000 years ago.

Mio: The newest is even 5000 years ago. Since the scale is too different I can't fully realize it.

Masaki: Hey, I can see the light.

Xenia: Yeah, the entrance of the base. Let's go.

Mio: Ugh, too dirty! It is full of garbage.

Simone: They are a bunch of slovenly guys.

Mio: There seem only men. They don't even care to sweep.

Xenia: Hey, the computer is still functioning. The data is… Oops, as I thought it is automatically dying out.

Masaki: You can't fix it?

Xenia: Fuhfuhfuh, don't talk stupid. Who do you think I'm? It is a piece of cake to me.

Mio: Piece of cake you say? That is the phrase I don't hear often.

Xenia: Well, that should do. Hey, it came out.

Masaki: Everything went well?

Xenia: Of course. As long as I don't damage the storage physically, it can hardly escape from my hand. The final thing to do is to analyze this data by Dukakis.

Masaki: Well, let's return. Eh? What are you doing Simone?

Simone: Eh? No, I thought there was something like a treasure hidden.

Masaki: Bandit? Such a thing…

Simone: Ah! What's this? Treasure chest?

Mio: Wah! It’s true, there is a treasure!

Masaki: ...RPG?

Mio: Something like mimic.

Xenia: Can I have a look? What? This is an antique-style-treasury that can be found anywhere.

Simone: What, really?

Xenia: The best option to open it is a key but there are other simple ways. Let me see… Yes, it is unlocked.

Mio: You are like a thief when it comes to business Xenia-san.

Masaki: You're a gambler and you say that.

Simone: Is it okay to open?

Xenia: There are no traps. Ok.

Simone: Then… What's this?

Xenia: Uwah. This is an ingot of orihalconium. There were many.

Simone: There is really treasure.

Masaki: Orihalconium is expensive right?

Xenia: Yeah. One ingot is worth about one million… Eh? There is something below.

Simone: What's this? I only see ingot at the top? Below it are books? Upside down?

Mio: Ah! This book is... 18+!!

Simone: ...That is again, a grandiose way of hiding.

Masaki: Set that aside. Men are like that.

Simone: What, Masaki? You also hide such erotic book?

Masaki: Don't nag!

Simone: Eh? Do you hear something?

Masaki: Ah, yeah. It isn't your imagination.

Mio: It is clicking, clicking.

Xenia: Be quiet!

Masaki: Eh? Ah…

Xenia: ...!? Oh no!? This sound is... the self-destructing device!?

Masaki: Self-destruct... You mean this place will explode?

Xenia: We must escape quickly!!

Mio: Uh oh! Self-destruct together with the erotic books, that's the ultimate hidding way!

Masaki: There is no room for strange admiration! Let's hurry!! 

#Scene 100#

Masaki: Phew... We made it somehow.

Mio: It disappeared together with the erotic books... Amen.

Simone: Even if they are terrorists, after all they're boys.

Xenia: Dear, men. I presume I value them more than data.

Simone: Indeed. They did things sneakily. They probably don't want those books to be seen.

Mio: They are not terrorists but terrorists.

Gojo: Master, I think that pun has a problem.

Mio: Isn't it good? Suberi art is also among the arts.

Masaki: I was wrong to take you guys along. I! Now! From the day I was born! Feel for the terrorist from the bottom of my heart!

  1. Scene 101#

Ryune: 997... 998... 999... 1000!

Masaki: You are amazing as usual, Ryune. Is that the most you can bear?

Ryune: Yeah. If I bear more, I'll have to lower the count.

Masaki: I think you're underestimating yourself. You even broke the instrument.

Yanglong: Oh, you're training? I admire you.

Masaki: Yanglong! You've returned.

Yanglong: Yeah, Rodney had done many things for me. I unexpectedly made some connections with Shutedonias. Thanks to them, I could return faster than I expected.

Ryune: I see. Those two are working really hard.

Masaki: Rodney...?

Ryune: Masaki, you still worry about them?

Masaki: Ah, no... Nothing in particular.

Ryune: Liar. I feel you’re somewhat remaining in the dark.

Yanglong: ...Masaki, it is long since we've played a game together.

Masaki: A game? You mean a game of physical body?

Yanglong: Yeah. Unarmed or fencing, either is okay.

Masaki: ...Right. Then, don't go easy on me.

Yanglong: Yeah. Then we must find a broader place…

Ryune: Ah, I know a dojo in the ship.

Yanglong: Really? This ship is big for a reason. Show me then. 

#Scene 102#

Masaki: This is troublesome... Have I become dull?

Ryune: You're close, Masaki.

Yanglong: Stop the consolation. You won’t solve anything with it.

Masaki: What?

Yanglong: The cause of your defeat is your anxiety.

Masaki: …

Yanglong: It will cost you your life in the battlefield if you act like that.

Masaki: I know!

Yanglong: Yelling at me isn’t useful. Got that? In the beginning you are…

Ryune: Stop! Stop the lecturing! That's mean!

Yanglong: Mean? What?

Ryune: Because your lecturing is similar to torture.

Yanglong: That is because the heart of the listener is distorted. Listen, the wise saying that goes against the ear, opposes the heart…

Ryune: Uwa, it begins again…

Guido: Ah, so you're here. Oh, you are…

Yanglong: Eh? You're a new pilot? I'm the pilot of Granvale, Whan Yanglong.

Guido: Yeah, I know you well. I'm the pilot of Dinflair, Guido Seehofer. Nice to meet you.

Yanglong: Is there something you want to say?

Guido: Yeah, right. When I tried to analyze the data recently, I found some very interesting information.

Masaki: The data that we obtained from the terrorist's base?

Guido: Well, right. Xenia-sama will explain it, please come to the briefing room.

Masaki: I'm saved…

Yanglong: ...Well, good. Then, let's head to the briefing room. 

#Scene 103#

Wagener: Everyone is here. Then, Xenia will explain the data she got from the terrorists some time ago.

Simone: You gleaned something from it?

Xenia: The supporter of Quick Cell based on my limited knowledge is Ariel kingdom.

Mio: Well, Xenia-san has said they're suspicious from before.

Xenia: Since there is clear evidence this time, there is no excuse that they're our opponent.

Tyutti: By the way, what evidence are you talking about?

Xenia: The deposit record from a hidden account. They mix in many dummies but the origin is unmistakably a secret fund from the Ariel kingdom.

Masaki: Hmm, if Xenia concluded as much it can't be wrong.

Mefil: But there is one little thing I noticed.

Xenia: I'm still talking, Mefil? You concern yourself too much.

Mefil: I’ll let it be.

Xenia: Anyway, because of that we can demand an investigation on Ariel kingdom.

Masaki: Now we'll head to Ariel kingdom?

Wagener: Yeah, as for that matter now we're still in the condition of waiting for the decision of the Federation.

Masaki: That again...?

Tyutti: It can't be helped. We still aren't completely accepted.

Masaki: I felt more comfortable before we became the Antilles Corp.

Tyutti: The matter here is different compared to Shutedonias and Bagonia. There was a war on at the time. Moreover, if there was a war even now we can do forcible execution of arbitration.

Wendy: Don't be impatient, Masaki. Because the preparations are finished, if it is fast, the decision will be granted tomorrow.

Masaki: Ah, no, I'm not impatient.

Mio: You're only short-tempered right?

Masaki: Shut up.

Wagener: Also I received a message. There is an observer from the Langran government who will travel with us.

Masaki: Folch?

Wagener: I'm afraid so.

Masaki: Hmph... It is difficult to deal with her.

Mio: She is strict.

Ryune: Right. And our strict Yanglong has returned to make the matter worse.

Wagener: Then, we'll depart at 10 am tomorrow. Every member, please get ready. 

#Scene 104#

Folch: I'm happy to travel with you again. I'm Folch Seolla Megistus. Nice to meet you.

Bradroy: Hey hey, we are friends who have lived under the same roof. You don't have to be that formal.

Folch: No, I won't permit it. My duty is an observer. Cozy relationships are strictly prohibited.

Bradroy: Cozy relationship, huh…

Guido: This is the first time we’ve met, Miss.

Folch: Guido Seehofer. I read your file. Nice to meet you.

Guido: Data? One's nature can't be understood if we don't touch each other in reality.

Folch: I can't approve that necessity.

Guido: Oh, you are harsh. Will you investigate me?

Folch: Minus 1.

Guido: Oh my god, you gave me a score already?

Folch: If you're too persistent, I'll deduct more.

Guido: Roger. But I want you to give me at least a chance to recover, Miss.

Folch: You can just call me Folch, Guido.

Guido: Then, Folch. Will you give me another chance to regain my honor?

Folch: Hmph... Alright. In due time, if there is a chance.

Guido: Then, I'll make that chance soon.

Simone: A diligent seducer. I wonder if you really are a stiff German.

Guido: I’m a weak ethnic stereotype. I'm me.

Wagener: It's time to go. Let's depart.

Charian: Certainly. Then, Captain.

Bradroy: Yeah. Go, Hringhorni. 

#Scene 105#

Masaki: What, this is Ariel kingdom?

Mio: It isn't much different from Langran, like a townscape.

Tyutti: It seems La Gias's civilization doesn't vary much.

Wendy: Again and again, from the time Langran ruled the whole land, they did cultural colonization.

Xenia: But, even now there are countries that were made to restore their original culture. Like Medyna and Stroheim.

Holy: !? There are responses from the radar!! It's the Masoukis from Ariel!

Charian: What does that mean? We have permission from the government!

Coret: There’s a message! The sender is lieutenant Raikou Sephenber of Adversary Corp. The recipient is everyone of Antilles Corp. Our side doesn't approve the decision of the Federation. Evacuate from our territorial airspace.

Folch: They plan to ignore the decision of the Federation!?

Wagener: Arguing is useless?

Masaki: Anyway prepare to intercept! We can't bear sudden attacks!

Wagener: Right. All members immediately prepare to counter. 

----------------------------
Stage 18: Merchants of death
----------------------------

#Scene 106 (Map)#

Raikou: Antilles Corp!?

Masaki: Yeah, and who are you!?

Raikou: We're the Adversary Corp of Ariel kingdom! You'll not pass one step from here!

Masaki: Damn, you're serious? We have the backing of the Federation!

Raikou: Don't make me say the same thing over and over again. My country doesn't approve of the decision of the Federation!

Masaki: This discussion is a failure.

Wendy: At least, please listen to our story.

Raikou: Eh? You're... Wendy Lasm Ikunart!?

Wendy: Eh? Yeah…

Raikou: Oh, it is really her! You are more beautiful than in hologram!

Wendy: Er... You know me?

Raikou: Of course! You're an idol in this country!

Masaki: What does he mean by idol?

Xenia: Well, because this country is the country of crafts. Artisan's spirit, and moreover otaku.

Raikou: E, er, Wendy-san. Could I have your autograph?

Yuno: ...Raikou, we've work to do.

Raikou: Eh? N, no, I didn’t forget. But, er, well, if Wendy-san is here then…

Masaki: Hmm, they seem to catch us. Wendy, will you talk to them a bit?

????: Good grief, wth are you doing?

Masaki: !? Who!?

????: Don't tell me that you've forgotten me.

Kuro: That is... the black Cybuster from before!? It can't be! Why can’t the elemental radar detect him!?

Masaki: You are... Elan!!

Elan: We meet again.

Masaki: What are you here for!?

Elan: Isn't it obvious? To help you.

Masaki: Help? wth are you saying?

Elan: It is too late to hold back.

Aoi: Eh!? Just when...?

Elan: Too slow. The Adversary Corp supposed to be everyone's role model right? Is that all you can do?

Aoi: Uah!?

Raikou: Aoi!?

Sumera: How dare you…

Elan: Good grief, there is no taste at all.

Masaki: Elan! What are you planning?

Elan: I'll leave the rest to you, since they're only small fry. They aren't troublesome enemies to the extent that I have to be here.

Masaki: Wait!

Elan: Goodbye, Masaki!

Raikou: ...I must have been a fool to believe in you! Prepare!

Masaki: Eh, wait! He is not our ally!

Raikou: Liar! That black Cybuster is the evidence!

Masaki: Wrong! He’s not connected to us at all!

Raikou: Don't play dumb!

Bradroy: This is bad... They cut off the retreat path.

Wagener: It can't be helped. All machines, sortie.

Folch: We must not! We came to negotiate…

Masaki: We have to put defense above that! If Hringhorni is surrounded it is over!

Tyutti: Right. Let's sortie. 

[Masaki vs Raikou]

Masaki: Wait wait wait! Listen to our story a bit…

Raikou: Don't waste your breath! 

[Mio vs Goshin]

Mio: Wah, here I come!

Goshin: What? You're only a child.

Mio: ...I admit that it is unpleasant judging from my outlook. But my thinking is an adult!

Goku: The joke just now brushes a dangerous place, Master. 

[Xenia vs Raikou]

Xenia: A new type of Svend! Record, record! 

[Bradroy vs Raikou]

Raikou: Wendy-san, please escape from that ship!

Wendy: That's why stop attacking it.

Raikou: Uh... N, no... There is no place for kindness in the battlefield! 

[Player vs Yuno]

Yuno: ...Target lockon. 

[Player vs Sumera]

Sumera: My team can't be beaten by Antilles Corp! 

[Player vs Goshin]

Goshin: Well well, I have a hunch this is a pointless battle but... It can't be helped. 

[Player vs Enemy]

Raikou: You started attacking? As I thought, that is your true character! 

*Turn 3, no enemies defeated*

Raikou: ...What are you thinking? Why don't you fight us fair and square?

Masaki: I've said many times! That black Cybuster isn't our ally!

Raikou: ...I can't trust your word but, I have to believe the actions that you demonstrated in reality. Understood. We won't fight you.

  1. Scene 261#

Raikou: …

Wagener: Welcome, lieutenant Raikou Sephenber.

Raikou: I'm greatly obliged with your invitation.

Masaki: So, you understand that we're not your enemy?

Raikou: ...I wonder if the story before is true?

Masaki: Yeah, that black Cybuster... Zelvoid isn't our comrade.

Raikou: I see... Sorry. It is our misunderstanding. I regret attacking you!

Tyutti: Nothing, don't mind it.

Masaki: It is enough for us if you understand.

Raikou: Really... Thank you.

Masaki: But, give me a break with your blindly selling Masouki as a merchant of death.

Raikou: Wait! I can't overlook that statement!

Masaki: Eh?

Xenia: Good grief, idiot! You shouldn't say that in person!

Masaki: Ah... Sorry.

Raikou: You guys seem to basically misunderstood our country.

Xenia: But I'm sure it isn't wrong to realize your country is making a profit by exporting weapons?

Raikou: That has a different meaning with the merchant of death. Moreover, it isn't the case that we rely only on exporting weapons.

Xenia: I want you to explain what is the difference?

Raikou: T-that is er... Ku, I can't make an easy explanation. Can I call my friends?

Xenia: Yeah... Since we also don't know that much about this country…

Masaki: Then, please explain it in the briefing room. Please call a person that can make an explanation that is easy to understand.

Raikou: Understood.

  1. Scene 262#

Yuno: My Ariel kingdom is a technical country that earns profit by exporting industrial goods. You knew thus far right?

Masaki: Then, the main exporting goods are weapons, right?

Yuno: Right, it is so. But that is for security guarantee.

Masaki: Security guarantee? Why?

Yuno: In other words, because the countries that use the weapon that Ariel kingdom made won't attack our country.

Masaki: But I don't understand that…

Yuno: The weapon that our country creates is mainly concerned with Masouki. Or, ultra precise industrial goods. Since those are indispensable for maintenance, we must supply parts. To say where do you obtain it…

Masaki: ...Yeah, you must buy it from Ariel kingdom.

Yuno: Correct. If the countries that use Masouki from our country don't rely on the supply from us, they can't make use of the army. If we stop supplying, that army can't act.

Masaki: I see... Good thought.

Wendy: Not only that. Because the main part is converted into blackboxes, if there is some kind of device in there, that Masouki can't move. At the worst case, there is also the possibility that they could capture, steal the controlling system.

Yuno: ...But the extreme device to that extent only applies to one part of the Masouki.

Masaki: You did it!?

Yuno: Our territory is narrow, and we're a maritime nation. Because of that we are easily being invaded by other countries.

Guido: I see, it is modern geopolitics that the ability of crossing the sea became high.

Yuno: So did you understand that exporting weapons is a necessary measure for our national self-defense?

Masaki: Well... Somewhat.

Yuno: That is also the main reason our nation doesn't have much diplomatic relation with Langran. Because Langran have the same level of technology with our country and develop unique Masouki. If we do poor technical exchange, there is a fairly high chance that our technology will be leaked.

Goshin: Your side also has the ivory tower of secretiveness called the alchemist society.

Wendy: But in this country there is also a branch of alchemist society.

Goshin: It is small compared to Langran's. Because in our country we don't do secretiveness.

Wendy: You can say we follow secretiveness but, basically an alchemist has the duty to bear her own research result. Careless research speech will give birth to the rampage of technology. ...Like that Zetz.

Goshin: Well, certainly that guy went too far but... But, isn't it good to trust technicians more?

Wendy: I accept that the technicians of this country are wonderful workers but, my opinion as an alchemist doesn't change.

Yuno: The difference in opinion. Anyway, I think I’ve explained enough about the condition of our country.

Masaki: Yeah, understood. I'm sorry that I called you merchant of death.

Folch: By the way, can I request an investigation on you?

Yuno: After we suggest the record of war this time to the government, your investigation demand is granted. Please go with me to the ministry of defense's HQ.

Wagener: Then, Inspector and Xenia, please head to the ministry of defense's HQ.

Folch: Roger.

Wagener: What should we do while awaiting the investigation?

Yuno: Because you've special permission from the ministry of defense, please accept supply at Oopa base. Xenia: Eh? You’ll supply us?

Yuno: Because of the misunderstanding this time, because we gave damage to you we've to compensate you.

Masaki: I see, we appreciate your help.

Raikou: I'll travel with you until Oopa base. I already told the place to the navigation officer.

Wagener: Then, please take the route to Oopa base.

Raikou: Yeah, before that... Er, Wendy-san.

Wendy: Eh? Me?

Raikou: Ah, yes. Er... Please sign.

Wendy: Eeh?

Xenia: Isn't it good? How about you serve at least that?

Wendy: But to me the sign is...

Raikou: It is alright if you only sign as usual.

Wendy: U~... Understood. It can't be helped.

Raikou: Yes!!

Yuno: ...A hipster. 

#Scene 263#

Bradroy: Route establishment is finished?

Holy: Yes.

Bradroy: Then, head to Oopa base!

Charian: Lieutenant Sephenber, there are still 2 hours to go until we reach the destination. How about taking a tour inside the ship?

Raikou: I see... Ok. I'll take you up on it.

Mio: Then, I'll guide you.

Raikou: I'm happy to accept it, Sasuga-san.

Mio: You can just call me Mio, Raikou-san. There is no need to be humble.

Raikou: Understood. Then please, Mio.

Mio: Yeah yeah, that's Ok. First is the resting room.

  1. Scene 264#

Mio: This is the resting room. There are more beside this but, it seems we use this the most.

Demeksa: Oh, good afternoon. You are Raikou-san right?

Raikou: Good afternoon. Er…

Demeksa: I'm Demeksa Cie, the pilot of Masouki Falck.

Raikou: Nice to meet you, Cie-san.

Demeksa: Ah, call me Demeksa. Cie is the name of my father.

Raikou: Ah, the same culture as Medina. Acknowledged, Demeksa-san.

Demeksa: By the way do you want tea? I obtained good tea.

Mio: Japanese tea again? Demeksa-san likes Japanese tea huh?

Demeksa: Not only tea, I like washoku in general. Wait a bit.

Raikou: Japanese tea? The tea of the surface?

Mio: Yeah, the tea of the motherland of Masaki and me. Washoku is also called Japanese food.

Raikou: Japan... I've heard of it. If I remember correctly it was once a modern of Langran.

Mio: You know a lot of things about the surface even though on the surface nobody even knew nothing about La Gias.

Raikou: But at our side the surface became taboo.

Demeksa: Sorry for letting you wait. It is low-grade tea but here. Raikou: Thank you. Then excuse me. Fuu, fuu...Uh! This is... delicious!

Demeksa: It is better than anything else to me.

Raikou: It is hotter than I thought but, the sweet and the bitter harmonize, furthermore the aftertaste and the fragrance is fresh. This is the first time I drink such delicious tea.

Mio: Let me see, I also…Ah, true. It is more tasty than before.

Demeksa: I'm happy receiving that compliment from Mio-san.

Raikou: Thank you for treating me.

Demeksa: No no. By the way, Raikou-san is taking a tour inside the ship?

Raikou: Yeah, because we still got time until we arrived at Oopa base.

Mio: I thought that everyone was here when we came here but today there is only Demeksa-san.

Demeksa: Right. Probably everyone is at the first dojo. I kinda heard that Tsrein-san and Gaen-san compete.

Mio: Eh? Those two?

Raikou: Oh, there is also dojo? I have deep interest in it. Can you guide me?

Mio: Ok but... Ah, how should I say it. I wonder now if the timing is bad.

Raikou: Really?

Mio: Well, good anyway. Since I'm also curious what they're doing... Let's go. 

#Scene 265#

Gaen: ...What's wrong? That's all you have?

Tsrein: Shit... Not yet!

Gaen: You still don't get it? I admire your spirit but you can't win with only it.

Tsrein: Shut up! I... can't lose to you!!

Mio: Ah, it begins. I am afraid of a bad atmosphere but it turns out isn't bad as I imagine.

Raikou: Mu... That guy's posture is... God eternity style?

Mio: God... eternity style? You mean Gaen?

Raikou: What? You don't know? Masaki is the son-in-law of that bladelord Zeoroot right?

Mio: Zeoroot-san... Ah, I heard it. You mean the sword style that person used?

Raikou: Yeah. In La Gias there are two great schools of fencing exist: God eternity style and constancy eternity style.

Mio: Ah, I knew constancy eternity style. Shumel-san used it.

Raikou: Sword-master Shumel? He is a wonderful user but he did disappointing things.

Mio: Yeah... But, now Jino-san and Roselie-san are trying hard.

Raikou: I knew Mr. Jino Valencia. I haven't met him but I heard he is a very good user.

Mio: Seems so. But he is a bit odd.

Raikou: Eh? What did you say?

Mio: Ah, don't mind me. On top of that, God eternity style is that great?

Raikou: Strong. But, because it is a style that chooses a person. The ones that can master it ain't many.

Mio: I see, so that's it. Then, Gaen is great too?

Raikou: Yeah, very interesting swordsmanship. Similarly I am also in the middle of God eternity style training.

Mio: ...You're a bit bragging?

Raikou: Even so I have confidence in my ability. But, I'm curious about that Gaen's swordsmanship.

Tsrein: Uah!?

Gaen: ...It is time for you to give up. You can't win me with your skill.

Tsrein: Shit…

Raikou: Then, I'll be your opponent.

Mio: Eh? Wait, Raikou-san!

Gaen: ...Interesting. From the prana that I feel from you before, you're also a user of God eternity style?

Raikou: Right. I wanna play with you a bit.

Gaen: ...Good. You seem fit more or less.

Raikou: No, I'm casual.

Tsrein: Wait! I still…

Raikou: Don't overdo things. To look at the swordsmanship of the companions of God eternity style is also your training.

Tsrein: Eh? Then, you also…

Raikou: Lend me the spatha.

Tsrein: Ah... yes.

Gaen: ...Here I come!

Raikou: Shit... Fast! But!

Gaen: Muh!?

Mio: Uwa... That is? I can see the afterimage... Even though I'm confident with my kinetic vision.

Tsrein: That is the fight of companions of God eternity style…

Gaen: ...What kind of person are you?

Raikou: I'm sure I already finished my introduction?

Gaen: You are... Raikou?

Raikou: Right. Gaen, where did you train with that long sword?

Gaen: Well... I can't remember.

Raikou: I see. I noticed you're similar to my teacher, Hugo Bacsky.

Gaen: Hugo...?

Raikou: You know him?

Gaen: No, I don't.

Raikou: I see…

Gaen: So, shall we continue?

Raikou: No, let's stop here. I don't want to show my cards.

Gaen: I see... Good then.

Tsrein: Raikou-san! You're great!

Raikou: No, I'm still learning.

Tsrein: The sword skill of God eternity style... I also want to learn it.

Raikou: Then, why don't you ask Masaki?

Tsrein: Eh? Masaki?

Mio: That is too much, Raikou-san. I don't think I've seen Masaki hold a sword before.

Raikou: What? Really?

Mio: At least me. And you Tsrein?

Tsrein: I also haven't seen him like that.

Raikou: Odd... Even so he is an expert on that swordsmanship.

Mio: What do you mean?

Raikou: Masaki has innate ability.

Mio: Fencing? Why did you know that?

Raikou: By looking at the way he controls Masouki. Anyhow, I'm sweaty. Can I use the shower?

Mio: Eh? Ah, if so there is a shower from over there. You can use it.

Raikou: I see, sorry. Then excuse me.

Mio: Masaki has fencing talent huh?

????: Kyaaaaaah!!

Raikou: Uwah!? S, sorry!!

Mio: What!? What's wrong!?

Raikou: There is already another visitor when I enter the shower room.

Mefil: Good grief~, don't open the door suddenly.

Mio: Hey, Raikou-san! You mustn't enter the room for women!

Raikou: N-no, I'm sure I entered the room for men.

Mefil: ...Ah.

Mio: What Ah?

Mefil: ...Sorry~. I entered the wrong room.

Mio: ...That is your fault. On top of that, Mefil. When are you going to look where you’re going?

Mefil: Eh? A~, Yaaa~!

Mio: Mefil is the service character.

Mefil: I don't want that to stand out for that~. 

#Scene 266#

Mio: ...So, what is your impression, Gaen-san and Tsrein?

Tsrein: Eh? Eh? Aa, no, I grew up with her.

Gaen: …

Mio: Oh, Gaen-san is a lecher.

Gaen: Just so you know, that is not the thing I want to see.

Mio: Yes yes. 

#Scene 267#

Raikou: We will reach the destination soon.

Coret: !! There is contact from the Oopa base!

Bradroy: Something wrong!?

Coret: The Kaiju rampage and is attacking the laboratory facility of the base!

Raikou: What!?

Tsrein: Rampage again... Those Kaiju are defective products?

Wagener: Because we received a rescue request, I officially announce the action of Antilles Corp.

Bradroy: All members, go back to your war position! All Masouki, prepare to launch! 

--------------------------------------
Stage 44: The shadow behinds the scene
--------------------------------------

#Scene 268 (Map)#

Masaki: Kaiju...? What shall I say, look like things of special effect appear.

Mio: Yeah yeah, that is a somewhat charming design. Or shall I say the taste of the Showa era.

Hakkai: They are like anime costumes but they have a strong presence.

Mio: Even so, how can they move in that way with such a big size?

Mefil: That is because they're using mass reduction and inertia control~.

Mio: Then, despite that look they're a group of robots?

Raikou: Those things... they are aiming for the lab!? 

*The lab was hit*

Raikou: Bad! The lab is! 

*One lab destroyed*

Raikou: No! How can this be...

Masaki: Shit... Mission failure? 

*Turn 4*

Deming: Oh dear, we arrived at an interesting time.

Masaki: Deming!? You... Is this your work!?

Deming: Well, what shall I say? I only came to meddle since I saw an interesting thing occur.

Dihigo: That's it. Well, we'll make it fun for you! 

*Turn 5*

Xenia: Sorry for letting you wait!

Masaki: Xenia, you returned already?

Xenia: Sort of. Folch will come together with Yuno-san soon after.

Masaki: Don't force yourself.

Xenia: Understood. 

[Xenia vs Dihigo]

Dihigo: It is you again, Xenia!

Xenia: Me too, I don't want to meet you again! 

#Scene 277 (Continue from scene 268, the lab wasn't destroyed)#

Raikou: As expected of Antilles Corp. I'd say you have my gratitude, you saved us.

Masaki: Well, we're used to that.

Raikou: But... a rampage incident again.

Tsrein: There is even the same incident in Langran.

Raikou: Strange... Kaiju were developed 5 years ago but this kind of incident never happened.

Xenia: It isn't some kind of drama to take the trouble making them attack your lab.

Raikou: Drama? What do you mean?

Xenia: There is a problem in the basic emotion control program of Kaiju.

Raikou: Basic emotion control program... I'm sure we updated everything once 3 years ago.

Xenia: You know the person in charge of the program?

Raikou: I'm sure we'll know if we investigate the document but... why do you want to know such a thing?

Xenia: I have some knowledge of the person who might do such a thing. I think it will become more clear if I access the computer of the lab but…

Raikou: I can't judge by myself about that. Let me enquiry the superior.

Xenia: Yeah, I rely on you. 

#Scene 278#

Xenia: ...Because of that, the deposit record to the hidden account is a fake.

Folch: A terrible all-for-nothing.

Mefil: As I thought~.

Masaki: What? That is an omission?

Xenia: You outsmarted me... Chaos, I’ll remember this!

Raikou: Then, the doubt on my country was erased?

Xenia: ...Yeah, sorry.

Wagener: I, Representative of the group, own you an apology.

Raikou: No, I don't mind if you understand. Moreover, we received lots of favour from you.

Xenia: By the way, it is the matter of linking with the lab's computer...

Raikou: Ah, you're given permission to do that. But, under the monitor of the observer.

Xenia: Yes! If it can go well, I can probably outsmart Chaos!

Yuno: I'm in charge of the observer. To construct the link system, please come to the lab.

Xenia: Roger.

  1. Scene 279#

Xenia: I see, so this is the main computer of this place.

Yuno: The main computer is standalone. It is useless to try to insert viruses.

Xenia: I don't do that. That's distrustful.

Yuno: I heard that Xenia-san is a superior hacker.

Xenia: Eh? I'm famous even among Ariel kingdom? I feel embarrassed.

Yuno: I was taught that after access, Xenia-san will steal all the datas.

Masaki: ...You're famous, but by bad reputation.

Xenia: Shut up. By the way, even though it is standalone, the reason you modified the data of Kaiju is?

Yuno: We thought it is reasonable to think that there is a time-limit-style virus mixed in the original data itself.

Xenia: As I thought it is that.

Mefil: If we investigate the original data, from the trace of modification, we probably can track the whereabouts of Chaos…

Xenia: Not probably can. Because I'll do that. I'll link with Dukakis and start working at the computer room of Hringhorni. 

#Scene 280#

Xenia: Well, the preparation is finished.

Yuno: Just to make sure, don't do unnecessary things.

Xenia: Don't worry. Since you're watching like this, I won't do it.

Yuno: Then, I'll tell you the password: (blah blah blah)

Masaki: Uoh? Not only long but fast-talking.

Mio: I'm surprised. I thought you did mojibake.

Xenia: Quiet!

Yuno: ...(blah blah blah) Finished.

Xenia: Ok! Input finished! By this I can login as administrator authority!

Masaki: Hey, you're delightful. Don't do unnecessary things.

Xenia: Good grief, even Masaki. Believe in me.

Masaki: Even I'm being told so…

Xenia: Ah! There it is! I thought it disappeared but the fragment was caught!

Mefil: I'll activate the restoration tool.

Xenia: Ok. I'll entrust that to you. I'll confirm the coordination of the server by scattering tool and tracking tool.

Mefil: It is about 3 minutes until the restoration is finished.

Xenia: The guarantee of diversion here takes slightly 4 minutes. Let's wait a bit.

Mefil: Yes~.

Masaki: Eh? What? Even though you did many things with great speed until some time ago... Is it good doing things that slow?

Xenia: Hacking is a tool game. It is important how much kind of tool you prepare. Of course, there are times you might change the program urgently by that occasion but, basically it is a game of tools in hand.

Masaki: Hmm, is that so?

Xenia: Well, if you do programming to suit the occasion, no matter how long it takes it is not enough.

Mio: You enter cyberspace and personificate character. Like that sort of thing?

Xenia: Yeah, I heard long ago that sort of thing was popular. Because it only consumes useful memory it was obsoleted.

Mio: No imagination.

Mefil: The restoration is finished~.

Xenia: Good. Activate the analysis tool. Hmm, even though encryption is obvious,I doubt this.

Mefil: Yes. This habit can't be mistaken…

Xenia: Chaos. I'll pay back the debt the other day!

Masaki: You hold a grudge against him…

Xenia: Of course! I was outsmarted by him!

Masaki: ...Well, but good.

Xenia: Good, the analysis is finished. Disconnect the main computer, connect with the external, finished guarantee diversion. From here it is a game. Perform a search, collect traces of information. If we enter the opponent's core...Well, we'll be busy. Are you prepared, Mefil?

Mefil: Anytime~.

Xenia: Then, like the plan, activate all tools. Trap detection Ok?

Mefil: Mix dummy, 745 kinds, ready.

Xenia: Shelter barrier is 28 layers? This sum will be perfect.

Mefil: Discover the trace.

Xenia: Affirmative. Check nodes from 18 to 241.

Mefil: No virus~.

Xenia: Just to be sure, let's apply my deluxe cleaning tool.

Mefil: Ah... Detect delayed virus!

Xenia: As I thought. I wonder if I was tricked by the same method many times. Can you clean it?

Mefil: Well... What tool should we use?

Xenia: If it is the same with before then 88-2 but... Make double sure, use 88-3.

Mefil: Roger.

Xenia: You can't use the same method twice. If I don't take precautions to that extent…

Mefil: Aah!?

Xenia: What's wrong!?

Mefil: A camouflaged virus! An opposite infection!

Xenia: Impossible!? I read his method!?

Mefil: I'll eliminate the nodes!

Xenia: Don't! Then, the key is…

Mefil: But…

Xenia: Only 1 minute! 88-3 is strong to infection so wait that much! Beside the tools that are usable are…

Mefil: Aa.

Xenia: Is there something?

Mefil: E, er...A, right right. Because I thought that such a thing also happens, I prepared.

Xenia: Prepared vaccine?

Mefil: Yes. Let's give medication.

Xenia: I see. Do it.

Mefil: Yes~.

Xenia: ...How? It works?

Mefil: Well…We did it! We succeed!

Xenia: Thank God. If it is this way, it's already our thing.

Mefil: Yes~. Data searching completed.

Xenia: Virus appeared. From elementary to a while ago. There is a possibility we interact all?

Mefil: Er... Extermination completed.

Xenia: You saved us a while ago. When did you make such a vaccine?

Mefil: The truth is er... Because I pretended to study when I was helping Xenia-sama. Xenia: Ah, so that's it. I see, you made a further correspondence version to 88-3.

Mefil: But by chance~.

Xenia: Even though you said you think this kind of thing will happen a while ago, it is really by chance?

Mefil: Ufufu~. Because I want to say once.

Xenia: Well, anyway we're saved. Well done, Chaos.

Mefil: Perhaps Xenia-sama is too famous~. Because you make various announcements, your peculiarity in the skill of hacking also easily gets stolen.

Xenia: Um... Well, certainly. It is a quandary to be famous as a hacker.

Mefil: I think from now on, you shouldn't act too showy.

Xenia: Uh... I couldn't believe being said so by even you.

Mefil: Ufufu~.

Xenia: Anyway, by this the problem is solved.

Wait, Masaki! Wake up!

Masaki: Ah?

Xenia: Hey, wake up too everyone else! Yuno-san, even you slept?

Yuno: No, I'm awake.

Xenia: ...Because you don't react, I thought you slept with eyes open.

Mio: What? It ends?

Xenia: Good grief, you people! You look at the emergency spectacle that I and Mefil stirring and sleep?

Masaki: Even so, watching from near is constant to playing video games?

Mio: Right right. We don't understand at all even if you talk lots.

Xenia: Because of this the ordinary person is…

Mio: In my attribute there is no computer otaku.

Masaki: What do you mean by attribute?

Mefil: Well~well~. Respect, Xenia-sama.

Xenia: Thank you, Mefil. Good girl. From now on you must also help me with many things.

Mefil: Of course.

Xenia: For things like a while ago won't happen, let's predict the future and do a countermeasure.

Masaki: You guys somewhat got along well before I realized.

Xenia: That's why I already said right? Mefil is my companion who overcame an emergency spectacle before.

Masaki: Well, whatever. On top of that you understood something?

Xenia: Of course! Because there are also lots of dummies, it takes about 1 hour to analyze but I obtained the data.

Masaki: Good. Then, we'll make a meeting in the briefing room in one more hour. 

#Scene 281#

Xenia: ...Because of that, Chaos's whereabouts is among 10 sech gots radius near here.

Raikou: But that place is desolated.

Xenia: There is a relay point right? That became the center.

Masaki: Isn't the range too wide?

Xenia: Worry is useless. If we go near we can follow the electromagnetic wave.

Becky: That is if, even now the targets are active, right?

Xenia: That is also alright. Because I've prepared for various tricks, for the present still, they don't move from there. Oh well... at least during today.

Wagener: Lieutenant Sephenber, can you tell us the intention of examining Ariel?

Raikou: In the case that the criminal who modified the data was confirmed, there was a notification to entrust security of a person to Antilles Corp. ...Honestly it is too much for the police or prosecutor to be the cracker opponent of Chaos right?

Wagener: There is no problem for us to act for duty huh?

Raikou: Because the opponent is the international wanted criminal.

Wagener: Then, we'll quickly head there. 

#Scene 282#

Holy: Visual confirmation of target structure!

Masaki: That? I only can see a favela…

Xenia: It can't be wrong. I confirmed the emission source.

Wagener: We gathered the evidence right? I permit Antilles Corp's forcible execution.

Masaki: Good, deploy the squad! 

---------------------------
Stage 20: Hacker vs Cracker
---------------------------

 #Scene 283 (Map)#

Mio: That is a house right?

Raikou: Looks like a guard house of forest administrators but…

Tyutti: It is suspicious wherever it looks.

Dihigo: Shit, how did they find out about this place!?

Deming: Chaos also fell on the ground.

Dihigo: You! Don't speak that name! You said if we make clear of his identification, Chaos is dead right!

Deming: Oh yeah, right.

Xenia: Eh? Don't tell me Chaos is you, Dihigo!?

Dihigo: Damn, it is too late to gloss over now…Yeah, right. I'm Chaos.

Xenia: How dare you outsmarted me!

Dihigo: That's mutual. I don't remember how many times you stand in my way.

Deming: Oh dear, you two are mortal enemies.

Dihigo: I will clear away the grudges accumulate in you this time! 

*Turn 4*

Masaki: !? Elan!!

Elan: You gave me a lot of fun back then, Masaki.

Masaki: Shut up! All you can do is raise trouble!

Elan: I've to receive more hardships from you. Easy going isn't interesting.

Masaki: WTF is your purpose!?

Elan: I want you to grow up more. To the extent you fit as my opponent.

Masaki: Say what?

Elan: You now aren't qualified to be my stepping stone.

Masaki: Stepping stone... Well said! I'll make you regret saying that!

Elan: Good grief. Only your mouth is adult as usual. Don't you remember? I've this.

Masaki: Damn... Possession!

Elan: You can watch and learn a bit. You still can't master Possession right?

Masaki: You…

Elan: Then, let's begin. 

*Dihigo defeated*

Dihigo: Damn, as I thought controlling Masouki is different from hacking! I will remember this! 

*Elan defeated*

Elan: ...I'm surprised. I can't believe you've become that strong. But, you haven't drawn out the true power of Cybuster. No mistaking it. Right, right. I'll tell you a good thing. Try investigating the underground here. I think you will find something interesting.

Masaki: Underground?

Elan: Right. Well, enjoy investigating it. Then, I'll temporarily withdraw. 

*Turn 5*

Elan: Impossible. Is this all you got, Masaki?

Masaki: …

Elan: As I thought, you need more training. I'll tell you a good thing. Try investigating the underground here. I think you will find something interesting.

Masaki: What?

Elan: Hahaha, do your best. Bye.

Masaki: Wait! ...Damn, he's gone. 

[Masaki vs Deming]

Deming: This is a good chance for me to kill you.

Masaki: What?

Deming: I'll get an enormous reward for your head. Become my source of income.

Masaki: Nonsense!! 

[Masaki vs Elan]

Masaki: What kind of person are you!?

Elan: What, a deep question. Let me ask you in reverse: can you explain what kind of person you are?

Masaki: What... I…

Elan: That's it. You can't define who you are that simple.

Masaki: Shit... 

[Ryune vs Elan]

Ryune: I won't let you touch your hand on Masaki!!

Elan: Yeah, I remember he is your lover.

Ryune: Right!

Elan: Good grief. What's good about that simple-minded fool?

Ryune: He is a lot better than a sarcasm bastard!

Elan: Hahah, a simple-minded couple. If so, you two are probably suitable.

Ryune: Eh? Suitable? Really?

Elan: ...What's delightful about it? 

[Xenia vs Dihigo]

Xenia: Perhaps, the intelligence division hacking event 2 years ago is your work!?

Dihigo: What... You know well. At that time I wasn't known as Chaos yet.

Xenia: As I thought!

Dihigo: At that time, the one standing in my way is also you?

Xenia: Of course!

Dihigo: Hahah, that's clever of you. You are my rival from that time!

  1. Scene 284#

Raikou: The government of Ariel kingdom expressed their gratitude to you for solving the problem this time.

Xenia: But after all we failed to catch Chaos - Dihigo…

Raikou: Even so, they confirmed your effort to repel terrorists and solve the problem of Kaiju's program.

Ryune: And the reward?

Raikou: Sorry but the best we can provide is to supply materials.

Ryune: ...Very stingy, Ariel kingdom also.

Raikou: Because our country also has lots of problems. To the extent we have to cut off the cost for national defense.

Ryune: That much of an economic depression?

Raikou: No, it isn't so but the ministry now is heavy on social welfare.

Xenia: You know the word: national defense is the utmost welfare?

Raikou: Even I have trouble with that word.

Wagener: I heard that the government of Ariel kingdom took the action of Antilles Corp into account this time and signed the resolution of the Federation.

Tyutti: From now on we're free to act within Ariel kingdom?

Wagener: It isn't to the extent that we can act freely but if the government granted permission then yes.

Yanglong: Even so... I'm curious about Elan's word, investigating the underground.

Wendy: I tried to investigate roughly but I didn't find anything strange. But if we investigate more in detail, I think we can understand something…

Wagener: It is late already. Let's turn back the investigation tomorrow. Dismissed. 

#Scene 285#

Masaki: …

Ryune: What's wrong, Masaki? Are you still thinking about the thing before?

Masaki: Eh? A, ah... Ryune? You've got something to tell me?

Ryune: That's why, I say you still think about the thing before.

Masaki: ...I don't.

Ryune: I see... Still impossible?

Masaki: Eh? What?

Ryune: No, nothing. Well, I wonder if we shall return to our room now?

Masaki: Yeah, it is late already. Good night.

Ryune: Yeah, good night. Ah, but probably, I won't sleep today. I wonder if I stay awake all day long?

Masaki: Huh? What are you saying...?

Ryune: Don't mind it. I only speak to myself.

Since I'm thinking about many things... Oh, even though I won't get bored if I've someone to speak to…

Masaki: ...Ok, just go to sleep.

Ryune: ...How about you, Masaki?

Masaki: I'm fine. Go to sleep properly, that's the pilot's duty.

Ryune: Yes.

  1. Scene 286#

Masaki: ...Phew. ...Even that bastard Elan can do Possession, but I…

Ryune: I knew it . Masaki: !? What!? Why are you in my room!?

Wendy: Because... We're worried about Masaki's odd condition…

Masaki: Wendy is also here!?

Ryune: I invited her. Because Masaki doesn't look well.

Masaki: Nevertheless, why did you ambush in my room?

Ryune: Stop keeping anxiety to yourself and discuss it with us.

Wendy: Right.

Masaki: ...I see.

Wendy: You're thinking of Elan's word? He said you can't do Possession?

Masaki: ...Sort of.

Ryune: I'm not a Masoukishin pilot so I don't understand well but... That matter? Is it that terrible?

Masaki: Well... I only experienced it once but it is a strong experience. The sense of unification with elemental, the Cybuster with overflow power... I thought of that time. That is the true meaning of to be chosen as Masoukishin pilot. But that guy Elan mastered that extremely easily. even though I still can't hear the voice of the elemental directly…

Ryune: Masaki…

Masaki: I... as a Masoukishin pilot, was clearly being displayed unmatched to that guy.

Wendy: Not that! Masaki accomplished the duty of a Masoukishin pilot wonderfully!

Ryune: That's right, Masaki!

Masaki: That'd be fine if that were true but…

Ryune: Don't think too much.

Wendy: You can't do Possession is my responsibility. Because my construction is insufficient…

Ryune: Wait, Wendy-san! You shouldn't feel down!

Masaki: R-right, Wendy. It is not your fault.

Wendy: Ah... Yeah, sorry. I came to cheer you up but ended up being cheered up.

Masaki: ...Sorry. It is no use grousing alone.I can't believe that Wendy is worrying... I was thinking too much of myself.

Ryune: Right right. It'll surely be alright. It won't be long before Masaki haasa mastered Possession.

Masaki: A mere consolation but, I feel much better being said so. Thank you, Ryune.

Ryune: It is not a mere consolation. But, I'm glad that you feel uplifted. The truth is I was thinking of calling Mio also and doing a comedy show.

Masaki: Hey hey, spare me for that. Her jokes are very hit or miss. It is the cold being outside beyond belief.

Ryune: Haha, now you mention it, right.

Wendy: Fufu... Even though from now it is getting cold, that is a bit severe.

Ryune: Well, let's return to our room, Wendy-san.

Wendy: Yeah, right. Then, good night, Masaki.

Ryune: Good night~.

Masaki: Yeah, good night.

...Thank you, you two. 

#Scene 120#

Yanglong: Is that correct?

Becky: Yeah, no doubt. As you see, the data is appearing.

Simone: A mystery cave... It wasn't there yesterday, right?

Wendy: To say correctly, it wasn't found yet. It is surrounded with a very special barrier.

Raikou: ...We tried to investigate many times but, until now no one knew there was a cave here.

Masaki: So that is what that bastard Elan meant?

Mio: An underground cave... I have a very bad feeling about this. Hey, can we stop investigating?

Masaki: What? What did you just say? Ah…

Mio: ...I'm scared.

Masaki: ...Sorry. I know, you are thinking of Tian…

Gaen: Stupid. That sentimentality is useless.

Masaki: You shut up!

Gaen: No, let me speak. As far as we can see, there is a high possibility that the cave is the temple of Volkruss or Rasphitot. To investigate that is directly connected to the purpose of creating Antilles Corp: to confront crises that threaten La Gias.

Masaki: Kuh.. You…

Gaen: Object if you can.

Masaki: …

Wagener: Gaen's words are reasonable. But, considering the squad's mental condition, I judge that the mission this time is inappropriate for Mio. Because of that, I decided that other members except Mio will investigate the underground.

Gaen: ...I see. If that is the case I won't complain.

Mio: E, er... I…

Wagener: I don't want to force you.

Mio: Y-yes…

Tyutti: Even if you say investigate, there is no guarantee that there is no trap ahead. I suppose we should do a threat assessment before we enter that cave.

Wendy: Leave that to us. It won't be long. 

#Scene 121#

Wendy: Er... There is a result from the investigation but er... how should I say…

Masaki: Even Wendy is evasive. Does something happen?

Wendy: No, the opposite. It is full of unknown things.

Masaki: Even for Xenia AND you?

Xenia: There is a very powerful barrier. We can't identify what is inside it even if we weaken one part of it several times.

Wendy: We tried to use an unmanned probe but it was bounced back by the barrier.

Xenia: It is a barrier that things with no prana can pierce.

Wendy: Just so you know, I tried to put a pseudo prana generator on the unmanned machine but it didn't work.

Masaki: ...So you mean in the end we've no choice but to break through?

Wendy: I'm sorry…

Becky: Can the size of the hole of the barrier be enough for a Masouki to pass through?

Wendy: Yeah, if you don't count in Hringhorni, of course.

Becky: Then, isn't it best to get everyone in by Masouki?

Yanglong: Right... Distribution is dangerous.

Tyutti: Yeah... We have to avoid the mistake that we made before with Tian.

Wagener: So we got a clear answer. Except Mio, everyone please directly investigate the underground.

Mio: Everyone... I'm sorry.

Masaki: You don't have to apologize. First of all now your prana is unstable. You couldn’t help us if you went.

Mio: Yeah... Right. That helps me feel at ease.

Wendy: Ah, Masaki. Let me ride Cybuster together with you.

Masaki: Eh? Yeah, that's easier for investigating right? But doesn’t it take time to prepare?

Wendy: No. Just attach a sub-seat at the back and link it with a computer terminal.

Masaki: I see. Then, it won't take much time.

Wagener: Then, I'll wait for your report. 

#Scene 122#

Becky: ...It makes me remember the old cave at that time.

Tyutti: Yeah, I feel that too.

Masaki: Really?

Tyutti: Eh, you don't feel the same, Masaki?

Yanglong: He is dull on sentimentality.

Masaki: N-noisy. I can't concentrate since Wendy is here with me.

Wendy: Eh? Ah... Sorry.

Masaki: N-no! It is not your fault Wendy! This is unpleasant... I'm saying unnecessary things again.

Wendy: Eh? What did you say?

Masaki: D-don't care about it! Focus on investigating please!

Wendy: Understood.

Tyutti: There it is. An open seam in the barrier. It seems to be the way to get in.

Gaen: No, wait.

Yanglong: What's wrong, Gaen?

Gaen: Don't touch the barrier yet. I have memories of this path.

Simone: Does it refer to the Church of Volkruss?

Gaen: Yeah. Undoubtedly. If you touch it the trap will trigger.

Xenia: And the method to disarm it?

Gaen: I know the word to unleash the curse. Please wait. It'll be fast. ...It's done.

Masaki: Good, let's go.

Tyutti: Wait! There is something…

Masaki: ? You see something on the sensor? There is no reaction.

Yanglong: No, I feel it too. It is something that can't be detected by the sensor. There is something ahead.

Tyutti: Let's investigate, Yanglong.

Yanglong: Yeah, right.

Gaen: Let me participate. There might be the possibility of a trap.

Masaki: Then, the remaining members continue advancing toward the barrier. Stay cautious. 

#Scene 123#

Masaki: Eh? That is... the gate?

Wendy: Masaki! That!! Those ruins…

Masaki: !? Zelvoid...? Elan is here!?

Wendy: No, wrong... It is too old to be it. It is probably 100 year old, give or take 10 years.

Demeksa: Let's investigate by spiritual reading.

Xenia: I'll do carbon isotopic measurement.

Masaki: What does that mean?

Wendy: I don't understand but... it seems true that the Zelvoid existed from a very long time ago…

Demeksa: Yeah, there is the thought of regret because of battle and being defeated... The faded condition has already passed 7, 800 years.

Xenia: I've confirmed that it is 1000 years by carbon isotopic measurement. There might be an extra or subtract 50 years.

Masaki: 1000 years ago...?

Wendy: As I thought, Sister saw this thing... don't you think?

Masaki: I don't care a bit about that! The problem is, what lies ahead.

Ryune: Yeah. Elan knew this. Moreover, probably what he wanted to show us is the scene ahead of this gate…

Xenia: There are still a lot of unknown things but we should advance ahead right?

Masaki: Yeah. The gate seems opened.

Demeksa: Yeah, there are no signs of the barrier anymore. If we push it will open.

Masaki: ...Well, let's go in. 

---------------------
Stage 21: Elan's goal
---------------------

#Scene 124 (Map)#

Masaki: This temple looks like the Rasphitot's one.

Wendy: Yeah... It is a bit different from Volkruss’…

Xenia: There are even ancient characters... However I can't read it.

Masaki: Good grief... Volkruss, Rasphitot, there are no good Gods.

????: No one would have to go through hardships if he can find a simple solution like that.

Masaki: !? That voice is…

Elan: You're naive Masaki, if you think all can be solved by good and evil dualism.

Masaki: Elan!! What do you mean by that!?

Elan: As I thought. You always fight by yourself without knowing about the opponent. Rasphitot is the harmony God. To say it simply, he is a God of peace.

Masaki: Peace? Even Though he killed Tian!?

Elan: He chose to prevent the reincarnation of Rasphitot and died for it. It is not Rasphitot's fault. Are there some misunderstandings?

Masaki: You…

Becky: Don't make fun of him!

Masaki: !? Becky…

Becky: Tian knew what he was doing, as a Masouki pilot!

Elan: Ah, so you are...Becky? You also don't understand. Just so you know, I have no intention of protecting Rasphitot or even making fun of Tian.

Becky: ...Then, what is that way of talking from before?

Elan: I'll inform you idiots carefully. Are you planning to fight Rasphitot without being aware what type of being he was?

Masaki: So you know?

Elan: At least more than you guys. Because I... No, my family is the natural enemy of Rasphitot.

Xenia: Natural enemy... So you've fought Rasphitot?

Elan: Of course. Although my opponent is only an image. Something like a seal isn't very difficult for me now. But, by reaching the level of sword God Randol to do a long period seal, even I can’t…

????: Let me take the lead, Elan.

Elan: Yeah, you came at last.

Katekis: Damn, you seem to know what's up.

Elan: Of course. By the way, you finished preparing?

Katekis: Well, I have no intention to tell you.

Elan: I see, so you finished. Then, my service ends here. Masaki, this is your one warning, you've to prepare in the end. You can only believe in yourself at the end. I hope you don't forget that.

Masaki: Ah!? Hey, wait! ...That guy, wth is he saying…

Katekis: Hohoo, he is admirable for running away. Well then, I'll be your opponent! 

[Masaki vs Katekis]

Masaki: What!? No effect at all!? 

[Ryune vs Katekis]

Ryune: It won't work! 

[Xenia vs Katekis]

Xenia: I can't believe it! There isn't even a scratch...! 

[Prescia vs Katekis]

Prescia: W, what!? Why is it this hard!? 

[Gennadii vs Katekis]

Gennadii: You... I'll bring you down with this hand! 

[Gennadii vs Katekis (after battle)]

Gennadii: Ugh!? No damage!? 

[Becky vs Katekis]

Becky: There are grudges and hard feelings in you but... Even without that, you are the opponent that we must beat!

Katekis: Hahah! Only your mouth is an adult! You seriously think you can do it!? 

[Becky vs Katekis (after battle)]

Becky: W, why!? This hardness is an exception!? 

[Simone vs Katekis]

Simone: What's this!? It's defense is too high! 

[Demeksa vs Katekis]

Demeksa: Arara... I give up. The reason is this magical square? 

[Tsrein vs Katekis]

Tsrein: Impossible!? No damage!? 

[Mefil vs Katekis]

Mefil: That~? I thought I could do something but... 

[Guido vs Katekis]

Guido: It was rejected... The attack wasn't effective. 

[Kakekis after first hit]

Katekis: Fuhahah! Useless! The I now is invincible. You can't win.

Masaki: Fuck! We can't do something!?

Wendy: That magic square... If we can drag him out from that…

Masaki: Let me try again. There must be some clues! 

*Cybuster restores HP*

Masaki: You coward! Come out and fight me!!

Katekis: Hah, don't talk stupid! Rasphitot now lends me its power. You bastards are no more than garbage! Prepare yourself!! 

*Cybuster attacks Jiwen*

Masaki: Damn... Don't get cocky!

Wulf: Indeed. This is awkward.

Katekis: What? Hey, Wulf! You are here to deal with them!?

Wulf: You better concern yourself rather than worrying about others.

Katekis: Hey, wait. What do you mean by that?

Wulf: Your magic capacity is indeed big but... I think it finally met its limit.

Katekis: W... What...? Guh!? Guaaah!? Ah... Hot... My body is burning!?

Wulf: I knew that sooner or later you'd become like this when you received Rasphitot's power continuously.

Katekis: Guh... W, what did you say... I haven't heard such a thing before...Guuuh!!

Wulf: This is what I expected. Your spirit has become a sacrifice for Rasphitot's revival.

Katekis: You tricked me...!?

Wulf: Be happy. Your spirit is compatible with Rasphitot. I'm sure the revival will go well.

Katekis: Don't think you can get away for doing this to the silver sorcerer Katekis…

Wulf: Don't say I tricked you, Katekis. No, Null Seahawk.

Katekis: ...You... How did you know that name…

Wulf: You thought I didn't know? Crook. You're not good enough to be called a sorcerer.

Katekis: Why you... U, u... uoooooh!!

Wulf: Phew, success.

Masaki: Say what...?

????: ...Can you hear me? Short-lived people…

Masaki: What is that!? Directly inside my head...!?

Wendy: This is... the voice of Rasphitot?

Rasphitot: Indeed. I'm the harmony God, Rasphitot.

Xenia: It can't be... He revived!?

Rasphitot: No... My power hasn't returned yet. This is no more than one fraction of my power.

Masaki: One fraction? ... This pressure is because of that?

Rasphitot: I don't like war. Throw away your weapons.

Masaki: Stupid talk!

Rasphitot: My real intention doesn't transmit? War only leads to war... You people also are obsessed with that.

Masaki: ...!?

Rasphitot: I'm the harmony God. If my power covers La Gias, the war in this world will disappear.

Masaki: That is impossible!

Rasphitot: That is odd. That is your goal, right?

Masaki: Uh... T, that is… 

[Flashback]

Margaret: You don't have the qualification to complain about terrorists since you just wipe away enemies by brute force!

Mudeka: That is your heavy sin! You only live in bitterness to solve everything through power!!

Elsine: But, I want everyone to think.

Masaki: What?

Elsine: A method to solve conflict without fighting.

Masaki: ...If that is possible, we wouldn’t have conflicts.

Elsine: Really? I know it is too much for me that doesn't have any shield to support you but… You have power. Could you use that power to control, not to show off? 

[End flashback]

Masaki: B, but... I... We…

Rasphitot: You're long for peace right? You can't bear facing bitterness anymore right?

Masaki: ...N, no... But.

Tyutti: Masaki, don't let him deceive you!

Yanglong: You feel it right, Masaki!? That evil prana!

Kuro: Yanglong-san, Tyutti-san!

Tyutti: Masaki! Don't listen to those words!

Masaki: B... but... Each time we fight we give birth to bitterness… Margaret, Mudeka, even Elsine said so... What on earth is correct…

Yanglong: Don't think for only reason! Feel!

Tyutti: Yanglong, there is no time!

Yanglong: I suppose so. We must stop his reincarnation progressing!

Tyutti: Yeah... We have to risk our life to pull out our best!

Yanglong: Muh... This is…

Tyutti: I can hear it... Gad's voice…

Yanglong: Yeah... Right. Right, Granba…

Wendy: That is... Possession!

Masaki: What... By those two?

Tyutti: Right, the power for this moment... Let's do it, Yanglong!

Yanglong: Ok!!

Masaki: Stop! You two!! Because of that Tian…

Wendy: We shouldn't stop them!

Masaki: Eh!? Wendy, why...?

Wendy: You don't understand? You don't hear the voice of the elementals, Masaki...?

Masaki: Voice of elemental? N-no... I don't hear anything…

Wendy: It can't be... Then Masaki is... No, Cybuster is…

Masaki: !? What!? I can't move! A malfunction!?

Wendy: Ah... As I thought…

Masaki: What do you mean, Wendy!?

Wendy: T... That is…

Masaki: So it isn't malfunctioning!? Shit! Move! MOVE!!

Tyutti: Damn... Even with the Possession of two people…

Yanglong: We are... at our limit?

Rasphitot: You did quite well but... you think you can suppress me like this?

Tyutti: Not yet! Gaddess, full power!!

Yanglong: Use all your power!! Don't disappoint me, Granvale!!

Rasphitot: Ugh!? Still... This power is…I can't believe they hold this much power... My miscalculation. I give up reviving this time… But... As long as wars in this world exist... My... power is…

Masaki: Yanglong!! Tyutti!!

Yanglong: …

Tyutti: …

Wendy: Those two are fainted because they've used too much prana. We must bring them back to Hringhorni and cure them as soon as possible.

Wulf: This is impossible... 2 Masoukishin machines could perform Possession…

Elan: You want to say it was surprising? But it is within my expectation.

Wulf: Elan... You…

Elan: However, I was surprised a little that Masaki was rejected by Cybuster. Well, since it is too soon and there is no trouble because of it, I'll give it a pass.

Masaki: You say... Cybuster rejects me?

Elan: You haven't realized it? You now can't pilot a Masoukishin.

Masaki: What... I…

Elan: I'm sorry but, you and those two can't fight anymore. Well, don't worry. I'll carry you all to Hringhorni.

Ryune: Elan! Don't move!

Elan: Wow wow. You better worry about Wulf other than me. So, I'll transfer them.

Masaki: Elan! wth do you think you're doing…

Elan: Well, since you passed through this test once, it is easier to grow up right? The next time that I fight you will be fun.

Masaki: H-hey! Stop!!

Ryune: Elan!!

Elan: I say worry about Wulf rather than me. Do you understand that you have to fight in a situation where there is no Masoukishin?

Ryune: Ugh…

Elan: Just so you know, I won't help you. I can't deliver anything if I fight Wulf. And, Masaki. You seem to have forgotten what is important to a Masoukishin pilot.

Masaki: T-that is…

Elan: As I thought. Well, it is natural since you can't hear the elemental's voice. You need some practice.

Elan: Then I'm finished. See ya.

Wulf: Elan you... You interfered too much. Well anyway, my prey is still here.

Ryune: You think we'll let you!? 

[Gennadii vs Wulf]

Gennadii: ...This is not for revenge. We'll carry on Tian's will and beat you!

Wulf: Hoo, you speak skillfully. 

[Becky vs Wulf]

Becky: You're too dirty, sacrificing Tian or even your comrade!

Wulf: I don't care a shit about that sense of value. 

*Wulf defeated*

Wulf: ...There are too many unexpected events this time. We'll meet again. 

#Scene 125#

Wagener: I can't believe that the harmony God Rasphitot existed…

Gaen: Hmph... So that thing is God.

Tsrein: I don't understand why the Church of Volkruss is trying to revive Rasphitot.

Simone: That monster said something like stop the war.

Guido: I'm thinking that it has utility value to the Church of Volkruss. Actually, Katekis, no Null who borrowed Rasphitot's power, was nearly invincible.

Demeksa: For some reason... I felt the same power in Volkruss from Rasphitot.

Wendy: Maybe because they are the same type of mystic Gods?

Becky: Ah, you've returned, Wendy. By the way, what is the condition of Yanglong and Tyutti?

Wendy: ...They are weak. Even if we supplied prana, they're still unconscious.

Mio: Sorry... A big thing happened, I wasn't able to help…

Masaki: ...Not just you, Mio.That includes me too.

Ryune: Masaki…

Masaki: I'm disqualified as a Masoukishin pilot?

Wendy: That's not true! ...I'm sure.

Gaen: What's the good of trying to cheer him up?

Ryune: Gaen!!

Gaen: No matter what you say, it is the truth that he was rejected by Cybuster.

Masaki: I know…

Gaen: Then, think of the original cause. Remember Elan's words.

Masaki: That guy can't be trusted!

Gaen: But, he showed you the mastery of Possession that you can't do.

Masaki: …

Ryune: But you can't stay like this. How about going to grandma Ibun's place?

Wendy: Right.... I'm sure you can learn something from Ibun-sama there.

Wagener: We also have to cure Yanglong and Tyutti. Let's head to Solatis temple.

Xenia: Wait! We got some information just a moment ago! The terrorist plot is progressing at two places at the same time!

Guido: Why at the time like this…

Ryune: So we have to separate the group into two parts?

Xenia: Yeah. One for Langran, the other for Ariel. It is inevitable since the distance is too far off. For the time being I’ll update the two governments but the terrorists’ whereabouts are ambiguous. I hope they'll think seriously for us but…

Wagener: You mean Ariel kingdom will cooperate but Langran is uncertain, right?

Ryune: Eh? Reverse?

Xenia: Well... Langran recently has been cold on us.

Bradroy: Hmph... The course to Langran is in the stratosphere. We need Hringhorni there.

Ryune: This route will lead us near Solatis temple right?

Wagener: Yeah. You, Wendy, Masaki, Yanglong, Tyutti will head to Solatis temple from there.

Ryune: Roger. Leave it to us.

Wagener: Xenia, Mio, Gennadii, Demeksa, Gaen stay here and prepare for terrorists at Ariel kingdom.

Raikou: I will guide them.

Wagener: The remaining members will head to Langran stratosphere area by Hringhorni. On the way, drop the investigating chief near the capital. Investigating chief, is it alright for you to be alone?

Folch: Yes. There is no need to worry about that.

Guido: Then, let's begin the preparation. 

#Scene 126#

Ryune: Then, I'll go to Solatis temple together with Masaki and the others.

Becky: Yeah, be careful.

Ryune: You too. Don't overdo it since there is no Masoukishin with you.

Becky: Understood.

Ryune: Then, let's meet later.

Charian: Route Ok. The height now is 10 sech gots.

Holy: The pressure inside the ship is normal. No change in ether propulsion.

Bradroy: Of course, it is my ship. It is cool and performs without rehearsal even if it needs to appear in the stratosphere.

Charian: ...Stop saying my ship.

Bradroy: Let me have that at least, Chary.

Charian: I understand, so from now on don't ever call me by that name!

Bradroy: Yeah yeah.

Simone: I noticed from before but what is Chary?

Bradroy: Ah, that is…

Charian: Captain! We're in the middle of accomplishing the mission. Please refrain from speaking of secret information..

Bradroy: Damn.

Guido: What an interesting scene this is.

Tsrein: Eh? Guido-san haven't you been in the stratosphere before?

Guido: Nope, because I skipped training.

Tsrein: That is not good. You've got to take training seriously.

Guido: Right. It was my defeat for missing this scenery.

Tsrein: Huh?

Guido: On the surface, the place of the horizon and the viewed scenery from the stratosphere is different... I see, this is the view of the spherical interior.

Tsrein: The surface is different?

Guido: Yeah, the horizon is round.

Tsrein: What? In that case, I want to see it.

Guido: By the way, what will happen if we go higher from here?

Tsrein: We can't.

Guido: Really? This is not space right?

Tsrein: It is something like space but... at the height of 5000 sech gots, there is a powerful barrier.

Guido: That's way above the stratosphere.

Tsrein: Yeah.

Guido: Who created that barrier?

Tsrein: Well... since the dawn of history it was there, I’ve heard.

Guido: Well, certainly the term barrier isn't rare in this world but... was it made by nature?

Tsrein: Well... I don't know the details much…

Wagener: There are various rumors about it. Let's leave it for another time since the explanation takes time. On top of that, please explain the synopsis of operation, Guido.

Guido: Ah, yeah. The purpose of operation is to protect the high-altitude flying airship.

Becky: Wait. What is that? I think I've heard of it before but…

Guido: I also only knew it through documents but it is like the man-made satellite in this world. The height is even shorter than man-made satellites and it always flies through the stratosphere, transmitting GPS signals and every kind of measurement data. The stratosphere, according to the treaty, is treated as a high sea that doesn't belong to any country. The flying airship also similarly supplies data to all countries.

Becky: There is no man-made satellite?

Guido: Please think about the condition of this world. There is no object that can fly on a parabolic orbit.

Becky: Ah... The back side of the ball? I see, that is impossible.

Guido: If we let the terrorist destroy this airship, chaos will break immediately after. Our job is to prevent that from happening.

Becky: Yeah, thanks for the easy explanation.

Charian: We'll reach the destination soon. Everyone…

Bradroy: Wait, that's my line. Return to your battle position everyone! 

----------------------------------------
Stage 22: The definition of the universe
----------------------------------------

#Scene 127 (Map)#

Guido: That is the high-altitude flying airship.

Becky: We'll protect it right?

Charian: Yeah. But, be careful. Because this area has strong convection, the flying airship is floated. Because now it blows from north to south, please take it into consideration.

Simone: Then what should we do?

Charian: If we don't want it to move, we'll cover its direction. If we do that it can't move.

Simone: Then, if we want it to move, we'll make a way for it?

Charian: That isn't wrong but don't forget that the enemies are also on the way. If we don't exterminate the enemies in that case, the ship can't move. If the ship escaped from this place then our mission is accomplished.

Becky: You mean if it is destroyed our mission is over? That is very harsh.

Wagener: The enemies are near. You can do a forcible execution.

Bradroy: All members switch over to intercept position!

Eric: How cold it is! The heater is broken?

Znero: Moreover Boss! We're late!

Eric: What? Hey! The long time no see Antilles Corp! How are you?

Tsrein: It is them again.

Eric: Eh? I noticed your number has decreased. Am I wrong?

Becky: What. So you've learned how to count. I'm really moved.

Eric: Of course! I can even say the multiplication table!

Znero: Boss, you better stop. You'll self-destruct.

Eric: Eh? What? Do you even think I'm an idiot?

Znero: No. I'm sure that anyhow those guys will start saying something like: say the level of seven (7x1, 7x2, etc...). That's why before that, let's break the defense line.

Eric: Level of seven? That's common sense. Listen carefully! 7x2 = 12…

Znero: ...Wrong, Boss.

Eric: What!? Isn't 7x2 = 12!?

Simone: ...What can I say. Am I the only one put at ease by looking at them?

Becky: No, you have my sympathies. Could you talk more before we come down to business?

Eric: What? Just now you called me an idiot?

Becky: Oh, you are sharp.

Eric: You can't be forgiven! I'll smash you!! 

*Ship reaches safe location*

Wagener: The flying air-ship is safe.

Bradroy: Yeah. Let's retreat at once.

Eric: Shit! We let it escape! It is time for us to go home even though we've to bear this extreme cold?

(Znero: Arara, there it goes. It can't be helped, retreat.) 

[Simone vs Eric]

Eric: You! You think that I'm an idiot too!?

Simone: No. Rather than feel for an idiot, I feel relaxed.

Eric: I can't taste that kind of business! 

[Simone vs Znero]

Simone: You're the adjutant of that guy called Eric? You must have hardships.

Znero: Well, I'm used to it. Moreover, he takes good care of his people.

Simone: If you have such common sense, stop this job.

Znero: You have justice and common sense. I can't do that. Moreover, this job suits me surprisingly.

Simone: Oh dear... 

[Becky vs Eric]

Eric: I'll never forgive the one who called me an idiot!

Becky: Then, study harder!

Eric: If I can study, I don't have to do this job!

Becky: Ah, indeed. 

[Mefil vs Eric]

Mefil: Well... Let me teach you the way to remember the multiplication table.

Eric: What!? There is such a convenient thing!?

Mefil: Yes~. You just have to remember the opposite way. For example, if 7x2, then 2x7 is~?

Eric: 2x7 = 14... Yeah! Right!! You are great, my lady!

(Znero: ...Boss, we're in the middle of battle.

Eric: Oh! Right right.)

Mefil: No no, not that much~.

Eric: Thank you for teaching me that. But, you can't go easy on the enemy on the battlefield! 

[Eric vs Ship-captain]

Eric: Hyahahahaha! How can I miss a target this big! 

*Znero defeated*

Znero: I failed! I'll leave the rest to you Boss! 

*Eric defeated*

Eric: How dare you! I'll never forget this! 

#Scene 128#

Charian: We accomplished our mission.

Bradroy: The airship suffered damage here and there but it is not a big problem. 

[Get 50000 credits]

Becky: Well, anyway we finished our task right?

Wagener: Yeah. I'm worried about the members left at Ariel. Let's head there. 

#Scene 129#

Becky: ...By the way, until 15 year old they caused her to call herself Chary.

Simone: And, what is that story called the youth of Chary Mafin?

Becky: Based on my limit of the summary, it is like the story of Anne of Green Gables. The main character Chary is very much of a daydreamer.

Simone: Ah... That is, a path every girl goes through right?

Becky: I didn't fall into it. Do you have a memory of doing such a thing yourself, Simone?

Simone: I have a memory of it when I was 12. But, indeed they didn't call me Anne.

Becky: Ahaha, certainly if you reach that far, it hurts a bit.

Simone: I see, because of that she became that angry…

Charian: ...Ahem.

Becky: O-oh... Charian.

Simone: Ah, er, how long were you there?

Charian: ...From until 15 year old....

Becky: Ahaha, almost from the beginning.

Charian: I feel bad because of my mischievous childhood.

Becky: There is no need to feel bad. Anyone makes mistakes in their youth.

Charian: That, my father has said that many times.

Becky: Well, then let's do this!

Charian: What do you mean?

Becky: Yes, this.

Simone: Alcohol again?

Becky: It is the diversion of an adult. The alcohol is the broom for sorrow.

Charian: Eh? Wait, for me alcohol is...

Becky: You can't drink?

Charian: No, I just think it isn't good for the body.

Becky: You're stuffy~. You store up stress right?

Charian: T-that is... Because my father is my superior, I'm like that.

Becky: Then, it is decided. Alcohol is the best medicine. If you drink it moderately it is a good medicine.

Charian: I-I see... Then, I just get one drink.

Simone: Oh dear... One more person became the victim of Becky.

Becky: What are you saying? That is slanderous. I only want to increase my number of drinking friends.

Simone: Well, good then. Let me join you.

Becky: All right. Nothing better than drinking with people. Let's do it!

Prescia: Everyone. We'll soon reach the ground surface… Uwah!? The smell of alcohol! 

#Scene 130#

Becky: Oh, it is Prescia. You also drink?

Prescia: I'm still minor. Even so... This is terrible.

Simone: Um~... Drink more, Charian... Um~.

Charian: Ku~... Ku~...

Prescia: How can you drink this much?!

Becky: No, Charian was just piled up with stress.

Prescia: Even so, why is Charian-san wearing that strange costume?

Becky: Ah, this? I don't know what it is but when she was drunk she took it from somewhere. I think she made it herself.

Prescia: What... Charian-san is good at sewing.

Becky: You still have a lot of clothes left right Charian. Try it on us.

Prescia: ...Because Becky-san doesn't wear any?

Becky: Ahaha, well, that's one of the reasons.

Prescia: Good grief. Since we're about to land, the meeting will begin soon. Until then, please refrain from drinking.

Becky: Yes~. 

#Scene 131#

Holy: Decrease the rushing speed. The aerodynamic heating is reducing.

Bradroy: Alright, turn off the cone barrier.

Holy: Turn off the cone barrier.

Guido: The reentry of the atmosphere ended quickly... What a great ship.

Bradroy: Hahahahaha... Right.

Tsrein: The aerodynamic heating was also low.

Bradroy: Because we're using the mass reduction and cone barrier. Well, because we actually re enter from the stratosphere, because the distance and time are short, that is not much of a problem.

Guido: Even so, you are awesome to make it smoothly without any practice, Captain. Bradroy: The truth is, my mother had experience invading the atmosphere many times. I received her advice.

Guido: Ah, mother Posha of the midnight shift? I see. I heard she is the hero of military service.

Bradroy: She is active even now. Even my greatness can't match her.

Tsrein: We still haven't reached Ariel kingdom?

Holy: Yeah, we are still in the territory of Langran.

Tsrein: How are Xenia-sama and Mio?

Coret: By the real-time information, we haven't received any strange notices.

Holy: I don't think we should worry since there is Demeksa-san, and moreover the Adversary Corp also there to help.

Tsrein: ...I hope so.

Bradroy: Tsrein. Are you still distrusting Gaen?

Tsrein: Y-yeah... I don't trust him that much.

Bradroy: There is no need to worry. He is friendlier than you think.

Tsrein: I understand that but…

Wagener: Yeah, Tsrein. They said suspicion begets monsters. I don't say we should trust him completely but, let's believe in his words.

Tsrein: Y-yes. Understood.

Wagener: I'm worried more about Xenia. That girl is possessing too much curiosity. I hope she doesn't act foolishly. 

#Scene 287 (Continue from scene 131)#

Raikou: ...Then, the explanation of the terrain of this war research area ends here.

Xenia: And the sensors of every kind?

Raikou: They are deployed. But they are useless if the opponent uses the technique of invisibility.

Xenia: Well, it can't be helped since even us don't have the technology to detect it. And then?

Raikou: What is and then?

Xenia: Don't pretend innocence. We still don't know the details of the Orgain plan.

Raikou: ...I'm very sorry but I can't tell you that.

Xenia: Well, I don't say you have to tell me every secret information. Can you at least explain the summary?

Raikou: I don't have that authority.

Xenia: Then, bring the person who can explain here.

Raikou: It is useless. From now he won't make it by the time enemies attack.

Xenia: Hey! So you say we must fight without knowing what to protect?

Raikou: No matter how much we talk, I can't reveal the country's secret.

Demeksa: Country secret? Then it can't be helped.

Xenia: U... W, well, right.

Mio: Er, I don't want to talk in this way but... we don't have a duty to help you, you know?

Raikou: I acknowledged that.

Goshin: Young lady, is that Ok?

Mio: Eh? Er... Orda-san?

Goshin: You can call me Goshin.

Mio: Goshin-san, what do you mean by that line?

Goshin: Whatsoever, it has literal meaning. The duty of Antilles Corp is to fight against the threat of all La Gias, right? Is it Ok to abandon that duty?

Mio: The terror this time, to judge if it is a threat or not is up to us right?

Goshin: Then, you decide this time it is not a threat.

Mio: That's why, we're saying that we don't receive the information to judge that. If we don't know the thing to protect, whether it is tofu or a lump of iron, we can't establish a counterplan right?

Goshin: That is tofu? That white and soft thing, the food of the nation called Japan on the upper ground?

Mio: What, even the people of Ariel know tofu?

Goshin: Sort of. I've eaten it and like it.

Tofu and iron. You did an interesting metaphor, young lady. Understood, I'll tell you a little.

Raikou: Goshin!?

Goshin: Don't speak stiffly, Raikou. Can you see that those people do by goodwill?

Raikou: But, to leak the military's secret is a felony.

Goshin: Then, how about information that wasn't assigned as secret?

Raikou: That is... true but…

Goshin: You can't say the extent of information that an underling like me knows is a secret right?

Raikou: To judge that isn't in our category.

Yuno: ...The Orgain plan, secret assignment number 10093. The confidentiality of the below information is only cancelled for specific reasons. 1, the name of the Orgain plan. 2, the purpose of the Orgain plan, as well as the origin of its name.

Goshin: Great, Yuno. You memorized such things.

Raikou: ...Understood. I'll tell you the purpose of the Orgain plan. The purpose of the Orgain plan is to deal with Antilles Corp.

Mio: We?

Raikou: Antilles Corp, especially the power of the Masoukishins, is too big. The heavy concentration of power breaks the balance and is dangerous.

Xenia: That is reverse isn't it? If big power becomes one, it will bring stability. Because balance is hard if that becomes two.

Raikou: If that power is righteous.

Xenia: You are picking a fight with us?

Raikou: Now, it isn't the story at this time. That is the story that we'd think in the next 10, 20 years. Human organization changes together with time. There is no guarantee that Antilles Corp won't become a tyrant.

Xenia: There is.

Raikou: You can't persuade us with only words.

Xenia: The existence of elemental. Not misusing elemental power. Thus, the Masoukishin.

Raikou: ...That's not always the case. We can't confirm if the element is 100% correct.

Xenia: How many things can be 100% correct? It is the story of relatives to the utmost.

Raikou: You say you believe that one-sided?

Xenia: You can ignore my word. But, please believe in our actions in the past.

Raikou: Hmph…

Goshin: You got us. Certainly, the action of Masoukishin until now is perfect.

Yuno: Of course, from the action of the past, I agree with Antilles Corps's action and doctrine.

Raikou: ...But, there is also information that opposes that.

Xenia: Yeah, perhaps the public documents from south Shutedonias?

Raikou: Yeah, right.

Xenia: Those are typical falsification reports. You believe such nonsense?

Goshin: Young lady, those are favoritism things. Are you aware of the person that doesn't directly involve?

Xenia: ...Uncle, you strike sharply.

Goshin: I'm not old just for fun. Because the south publishes in large-scale. Hundreds of lies will turn out to be the truth.

Mio: The publicizing of the south sent to this country?

Goshin: Yeah, there are many on holotv or net. They blame you guys.

Xenia: ...Thoughtless. Because the counter-intelligence somehow just started, the counterplan of mass-communication fell behind.

Goshin: It is severe to hope for ordinary people to understand, even if you can easily understand which side is correct by a little investigation.

Xenia: Right... We must deal with it in some way.

Raikou: Anyway, the purpose of the Orgain plan is like what I told a while ago. By this can we borrow your power to defend ourselves?

Xenia: Well... We don't agree with opposing us but that is an intervention.

Mio: You developed a giant robot?

Raikou: !?

Mio: I hit the bull's-eye?

Raikou: ...Who can tell.

Goshin: Oh dear…

Mio: Well, I don't mind. As long as it doesn't invoke senseless fights.

Raikou: My country doesn't hold that intention.

Goshin: ...Well, at the present.

Demeksa: Er, I think it is time we should prepare. If what is told is true, it is almost time we are attacked.

Mio: Oops, right. Then, let's go.

Raikou: Acknowledged. 

-------------------------
Stage 23: The Orgain plan
-------------------------
  1. Scene 288 (Map)#

Mio: ...If we look this way, the war technical research institute is somewhat a secret base.

Goshin: Good guess. Well, it is like that.

Mio: It can transform and take the defense posture?

Goshin: ...I'm surprised. How did you know that?

Mio: Because, that is often the case.

Goshin: What... The upper ground has advanced to such matter?

Raikou: Stop the chatting. They come.

Omgared: Antilles Corp again? They're the hindrance of us all.

Xenia: Omgared!? This time you are doing terror at Ariel kingdom!?

Omgared: Terrorist? We're a commando unit.

Xenia: It is the same right?

Omgared: There is a big difference. I'm now a member of the South Shutedonias army. Therefore, our actions represent the south government's will.

Raikou: Will the south government!? You plan to declare war on our country!?

Omgared: Depending on the situation, it is probably so. Anyhow, because Ariel kingdom is trying to create a weapon that is prohibited by the Federation.

Raikou: Muh... What nonsense did you say? What evidence?

Omgared: I think there is enough evidence judging from your attitude just now. We already comprehend the full picture of the Orgain plan.

Raikou: wth?

Omgared: The Orgain plan is in short the Masoukishin plan in Ariel kingdom. Am I wrong?

Raikou: …

Omgared: Hmm, I'll take that silence as affirmative. Certainly the Masoukishin of Langran is a threat to neighboring countries. It is not that I don't understand the feeling of your country to deal with that. But, I can't overlook the Orgain plan. In addition, Masoukishin brings heavy damage to the neighboring countries. The Orgain plan, similar to Masoukishin, is the plan to develop a strategic humanoid generic weapon. That kind of power, if it falls into your hand, our south Shutedonias only exterminate by force!

Mio: You are somewhat big but, you only feel uneasy that other nations are trying to build up strength?

Demeksa: Concur~.

Omgared: Get your mind out of the gutter. It is natural to feel anxious when other nations hold power. Even more, we can't overlook Ariel kingdom, the merchant of death that holds that. ...However, if you cooperate with our south, it is not that we don't think of the disposal of this time.

Mio: Yes, you reveal your true intention~. After all, it is such a threat?

Omgared: So, what will you do?

Raikou: Legally speaking, I should report this event properly to the superior but... Now let me answer at this place. We refuse, with all our body and soul!

Omgared: I see. The negotiation breakdown. Then, I'll use force.

Deming: Oh dear, it is utterly impossible to negotiate with such an arrogant attitude.

Dihigo: Well, I like this way more since it's enjoyable.

Mio: Uwah!? You hide this much of war potential!?

Raikou: Don't be hesitant! We'll fight with you!

Mio: Ok! Then we'll rely on you! 

[Xenia vs Omgared]

Xenia: So you brought out the missed Eulid again.

Omgared: We Shutedonias succeed in mass production Eulid.

Xenia: Good grief... General Kirkus left a dangerous thing... 

[Xenia vs Drep]

Xenia: Eulid has a fate that opposes us all the way…

Drep: ... 

[Demeksa vs Omgared]

Demeksa: A~, I might be talking too much but, you shouldn't overbearing much when it comes to negotiation~.

Omgared: Nonsense! Best method of negotiation is to seize the initiative.

Demeksa: But, because of that it is meaningless if you are tripping up.

Omgared: Nuh... 

*Dihigo defeated*

Dihigo: Shit! I lose again! It doesn't mean I didn't collect anything from defeat but being so continuously makes me feel bad! I'll win next time! Remember that! 

*Drep defeated*

Drep: Even Eulid can't match them? Retreat. 

*Deming defeated*

Deming: Aitata... I want Omgared to think a bit more about his way of speaking. Well, it is time for me to leave this place. Pardon me. 

*Omgared defeated*

Omgared: Shit... You have very good tactics for aiming at the leader. I'll temporarily retreat. 

 *3 enemies left*

Omgared: Somehow the situation is decided. It is meaningless to continue this battle. All machines retreat. 

#Scene 289#

Mio: Unexpectedly, those guys explained a lot for us.

Raikou: Our military secret was terribly leaked out…

Goshin: Well, it can't be helped? We also have many problems.

Sumera: You mean there is a traitor inside our army?

Raikou: The crime of conspiring with foreign is death penalty.

Goshin: The real person doesn't think like that. He only wants to cut off the cost of the Orgain plan.

Sumera: The one of the ground party?

Goshin: The period of the opposition party was superior.

Xenia: There are even many problems inside Ariel kingdom.

Mio: Well, any missile that CEP is superior to, the irregular ammo appears.

Goshin: ...Young lady is a former soldier?

Mio: No, I'm an ordinary person.

Goshin: Why do you do such a soldier-like metaphor?

Mio: I thought it would be easy to understand.

Goku: Master recently obtained the attribute of military otaku.

Mio: Sort of~. I had that interest from before but it is a bit typical of me.

Goshin: ...That is the thing called familiar?

Mio: Right. Interesting?

Goshin: It is odd rather than interesting.

Mio: No, even to that degree…

????: A unique young lady.

Mio: Thank you... But who are you, Uncle?

Raikou: Doctor Feil Donau!? When did you get here?

Manji: Before you realized. If the Orgain plan is aimed, of course the person in charge like me has to go to the destination right?

Mio: The person in charge of the Orgain plan?

Manji: Yeah, right. If I remember correctly, you are Mio Sasuga of Antilles Corp.

Mio: Eh? Ah, yes.

Manji: And over there is Xenia, Demeksa, Gaen and... er…

Gennadii: I'm Gennadii I Kozyrev.

Manji: Ah, right right. By the way, where are the others? Especially Wendy?

Xenia: Wendy is having her own difficulty. She went to Solatis temple. Why? You know her?

Manji: Yeah, sort of. I see... Even though I expected lots of fun with the reunion... Haa…

Xenia: What is that sigh? Moreover, I've something to ask you who is the one in charge of the plan.

Manji: Ah, yes. I'll answer anything if I can.

Xenia: What kind of design is the Masoukishin developed by Orgain plan?

Manji: Eh?

Mio: Wait, Xenia-san. Don't engross suddenly. That's not the way, that.

Xenia: Eh~? But we're anxious right?

Mio: Whether the Orgain plan is a threat or not is more important than such a matter, right?

Xenia: I think the design is also important.

Manji: Ah, well, whatever the design was, it is my duty to make sure the Orgain plan is not a threat. Don't worry about that point. If you trust me…

Mio: That is the line an imposter would use.

Manji: That is severe. It is certainly suspicious if I am being answered like that. Then, I'll tell you only one secret information. If you know that, I think you might trust us.

Raikou: Wait, doctor! If you do such a thing selfishly…

Manji: Don't talk stiff like that, Raikou bro. Because I am responsible for supervising and saying I'll bear the responsibility.

Raikou: ...Even you always say like that, after all you run away from responsibility right?

Manji: That is that. I'll be careful this time.

Raikou: ...Good grief.

Mio: So, what secret information?

Manji: Ah, right. To say it simple, the Masouki of Orgain plan makes contracts with high-ranking elemental.

Xenia: Eh!? So it is the same with Masoukishin?

Manji: Correct. Well, even it is said so if a condition wasn't arranged, that contract can't be done...It is regrettable but I can't say more than that.

Mio: The same with Masoukishin is... it has its own will?

Manji: Right. That's why you can't do evil that is against the will of the elementals. Maybe it is possible for low rank, but high rank elemental choses the pilot.

Xenia: Well... It is not 100% but, generally that's correct. But it could be partially different depending on the elemental that makes the contract. Even so, I didn't think that there is contract technology in this country. Even though that is the uniqueness of the academy…

Manji: Because of that reason, we don't need to be hostile to you. By this can we ask for your faith?

Mio: Well, since you tell us that far, should we?

Xenia: Well, for the present.

Manji: Then, let's open a welcome party as evidence of friendship. You still have time right?

Mio: Y-yeah. But good? Somewhat I can tell the feeling: here it goes again from everyone's look.

Raikou: Ah... Because the Doctor likes to start a banquet in everything…

Goshin: But I like banquets.

Sumera: ...But that is without the Doctor's clumsy singing.

Xenia: Well, but it is good since I think that today is probably empty.

Mio: Now you mention it, I wonder how's everyone else doing? Especially about Masaki's group.

Xenia: Yeah... I hope it went well for them.

  1. Scene 135#

Ibun: So after Mio is Masaki... Moreover Yanglong and Tyutti are unconscious… Calamity continues to befall the Masoukishin pilots.

Wendy: By the way, how is Yanglong and Tyutti' condition?

Ibun: Their prana is returning to normal levels. Their lives are not in danger but they need rest. What I'm worrying about is Masaki's problem.

Masaki: …

Ibun: You were rejected by Cybuster? That is seriously troublesome.

Ryune: You can't do anything, grandma Ibun?

Ibun: I can only do one thing. Make him go to the elemental world.

Wendy: But... There is no Cybuster…

Ibun: Elemental world is an unconscious territory. If you can't ride Cybuster, imagine you are riding Jaohm. Jaohm will probably accept you, right?

Ryune: Eh? But Jaohm is now being used by Gennadii.

Ibun: Have you forgotten? The elemental world isn't real. You also fought yourself right?

Ryune: Yeah, I remember. But, if it is so, Masaki also can ride Cybuste, rightr?

Ibun: As long as you experienced rejection, that is impossible even inside your mind.

Masaki: But...why did Cybuster reject me?

Ibun: It is a problem of your heart. No one can help you with that.

Masaki: My... heart…

Ibun: It can't be understood through words. You must feel it.

Ryune: Well... I hesitate to bring this up but now Masaki is argumentative.

Masaki: No, but to say so myself, I have many things to think about…

Wendy: I understand that you were shocked many times but, I notice that your thoughts are rather uneasy.

Masaki: I knew nothing before. Now it is different. I understand the weight of my responsibility so much that I hate it. That's why, I have to think carefully…

Ibun: This and that. You can't solve anything now by saying such things. First go to the elemental world. All begins from then.

Masaki: ...I understand.

Ibun: Ryune, Wendy. You also have to prepare.

Ryune: Eh? Prepare?

Ibun: That is my six sense. I think you two are indispensable for Masaki.

Wendy: Eh? But the elemental world will only accept Masaki's mind. If we intercept his mind, it is not good, right?

Ibun: What are you saying? Even if unintentionally, the interception is only the outer layer. He rarely shows up to the layer that you don't want to be seen.

Ryune: Even if you said so... Are you good, Masaki?

Masaki: ...The way I am now, I have a feeling that I want to rely on to hang in there.

Ibun: So it is settled?

Masaki: Yeah, I don't mind.

Ibun: Very well. You two prepare.

Ryune: But... what should we do?

Wendy: Put your hand on the crystal ball. In that way you can link to him.

Ryune: That simple?

Ibun: Because you trained in the elemental world before. Part of your thoughts still lives there.

Ryune: Ah, I see. 

-----------------------------------------------------
Stage 24: Return to the original condition from ruins
-----------------------------------------------------

#Scene 136 (Map)#

Masaki: So Jaohm doesn't reject me after all…

Ibun: Can you hear me, Masaki?

Masaki: Yeah, I can hear you.

Wendy: Thank God. You can ride Jaohm.

Masaki: Wendy? Yeah, somewhat.

Ryune: It hasn't changed since our training.

Ibun: The opponent this time is different. Masaki, are you ready?

Masaki: Y-yeah. But what do ya mean by that?

Masaki: Diablo!? So my opponent is Prescia!?

Madock: What are you saying? You forgot me, Masaki?

Masaki: Eh? Old man Madock!?

Ryune: Eh? Who?

Wendy: The former pilot of Diablo. He died in the Shunjuu War…

Ibun: Long time no see, Madock.

Madock: Yeah, grandma Ibun. It is good that you are healthy.

Ibun: You too... Because your way of speaking is strange. Well, it is best that you don't change.

Madock: That is not a greeting for a dead person. Hohoho.

Masaki: What does this mean!? Why is Madock-san...?

Ibun: Dear, Mio also reacted the same. Did you hear Mio's story?

Masaki: N-no... I heard this the first time.

Ibun: This Madock is the same with element. It is like a living memory.

Masaki: Memory... The dead materializes?

Ibun: It is not that they reincarnate. They are reconstructed through our memory or the remembrance while they're alive.

Masaki: So they're different from the real person?

Ibun: Yeah. They can't grow like us who are living.

Madock: Let's end the long story here. Will you fight me, Masaki?

Masaki: Fight?

Madock: Of course. I'm here for that.

Masaki: B-but what is the reason for that?

Madock: I thought you knew. For you to take back what you've forgotten. Is that enough?

Masaki: The things that I forgot?

Madock: Then, come! 

[Madock vs Masaki]

Madock: Which reminds me. I haven't told you my past yet.

Masaki: Past? I don't have any interest in that!

Madock: Well, listen. I'm a former member of a terrorist organization.

Masaki: What...!? You're a terrorist, old man!?

Madock: I was young and thoughtless when I did it. At that time I was under the impression that it was correct.

Masaki: I'll never forgive terrorists!

Madock: That feeling is important. In the past I realized that.

Masaki: ...I don't ask for your reasons. So you quit becoming a terrorist, old man?

Madock: Yeah. On the contrary to that I ended up on the side that controls evil. Well, you know it. It is a job piloting a Masouki. Whatever you may say, you now are somewhat similar to me at that time.

Masaki: You said I'm like a terrorist!? Stupid! I am only thinking of various methods to solve conflict without fighting!

Madock: Well well... As I thought. We can't exchange feelings with words. Come, Masaki!

Masaki: Kuh... U, understood.

Madock: Hou... Your skill has improved Masaki.

Masaki: You too old man. You did more than I thought.

Madock: But, you still ain't your old self yet. This is the limit of what I can help you with.

Masaki: H-hey, old man!?

Madock: There is no need for you to worry. I’ll only return to where I belong.

Masaki: Old man…

Madock: Remember the first time you entered La Gias. What makes you angry, why do you protect...

Masaki: My anger for the first time…

Madock: ...This is it. We will meet again. Stay healthy.

Masaki: Old man! I... I only... couldn't forgive terrorists... Because of that... Because of that I fought…

Ibun: Hmph… Well done, Madock. Somehow I feel Cybuster has begun to sympathize with Masaki.

Masaki: Eh!?

Ibun: Shout Cybuster, Masaki.

Masaki: ...Cybuster. Can you hear my voice?

Wendy: …

Ryune: …

Masaki: Cybuster... Come! Cybuster!!

Masaki: Ah…

Ryune: You did it!!

Wendy: Cybuster... has returned!

Masaki: Cybuster...

Ibun: It is too early to be happy. You’re now just a temporarily chosen greenhorn. The power just now can't still be expressed on command. Understood?

Masaki: Y-yeah... I feel it, it is still unstable…

Ibun: Right. Then, to the next challenge.

Masaki: More?

Ibun: You have to keep practicing until you sympathize with Cybuster's elemental, Cyphis.

Masaki: ...Understood. Give me the next training.

Ibun: Very well, here ya go.

Masaki: Dinforce!? Now is monk Tian!?

Tian: Dear. I thought I could enter Nirvana at ease but I've yet to pay for my sins.

Masaki: Why do I have to fight with my friends!?

Tian: Eh? You.. are being possessed by something bad?

Masaki: S-say what?

Tian: Hmm, you have fallen onto the wrong path. I’ll guide you back to the proper path.

Masaki: H-hey.

Tian: Then, let's go! There is no need to talk all night when we have fists!

Masaki: Your absurdity hasn't changed… Good then, I accept your challenge!! 

[Masaki vs Tian]

Tian: Hey hey, what's wrong! You are hesitant! Don't hold back!

Masaki: Shit... You are full of spirit even though you're dead, monk!

Tian: Hey, for some kind of karma I returned to the wheel of the six posthumous worlds! No wait. If Buddha existed in all beings, I'm also a part of Buddha.

Masaki: What are you mumbling about?

Tian: Eh? Hey, don't interfere with my musing!

Masaki: What? What are you saying? We're in the middle of battle. Don't you understand that?

Tian: Nuh... No, no, there is Tongo and Zengo in understanding…

Masaki: You haven't changed you fishy monk.

Tian: Shut up! You are also a believer of Buddha, right!

Masaki: You’re a broken record! Yeah, my parent's home was originally a Buddhist one!

Tian: Hmm, marvelous. Did you receive something then?

Masaki: Even if you said so... Well.

Tian: But, from my perspective, I noticed some signs of change from you, even if it is a little.

Masaki: Really!?

Tian: Yeah. But only slightly.

Masaki: ...Unreliable.

Tian: Anyhow, that's the limit of what I can do. The next part depends on your heart.

Masaki: That's passing the task to someone else!

Tian: Then we'll meet again, lost lamb.

Masaki: Or perhaps I should say, that was already not Buddhism.

Ibun: Hmph…

Masaki: Grandma Ibun. Is that effective?

Ibun: Yes and no.

Masaki: Hey hey, even Grandma is being inspired.

Masaki: Geolast!? Could it be... The dead pilot of Geolast is…

Zeoroot: Yeah, you guess it right.

Masaki: Old man Zeoroot!? Why even you…

Zeoroot: You still don't understand? This is troublesome…

Masaki: What don’t I understand!?

Zeoroot: Please remember, my last words.

Masaki: T... That is... Shu is…

Zeoroot: Do you understand why I chose to fight, even though I knew it was useless?

Masaki: …

Zeoroot: It seems you still have a problem. I still have something to pass to you. Seize it while fighting with me.

Masaki: ...Understood. Let's go! 

[Masaki vs Zeoroot]

Zeoroot: Your skill has improved.

Masaki: R-really?

Zeoroot: Yeah. But your swordsmanship is confusing.

Masaki: !?

Zeoroot: You are sick to fight but fighting is chasing you.

Masaki: I... understand that.

Zeoroot: Then, face it. You have the power to do it.

Masaki: B-but... Shit!!

Zeoroot: Oh no. I'm ashamed. I've lost.

Masaki: No... That is the power of Cybuster, not me…

Zeoroot: Then, let me ask you in reverse. Was it your will to show off this kind of power? Or was it Cybuster's will?

Masaki: T... That is... Both.

Zeoroot: Excellent instinct.

Masaki: B-but... No matter how much it is the will of elemental… Fight, and fight... That only brings back bitterness over and over... It can't be peaceful…

Zeoroot: ...I see. Then that's beyond my power.

Masaki: Eh? O-old man!?

Zeoroot: Anyway, I already guided you. I'll leave the last part to the next person.

Masaki: Old man... You're going?

Zeoroot: Yeah, because my role has ended. Give my love to Prescia.

Masaki: Yeah... Understood.

Masaki: Duraxyll... I see. So this time is king Feil.

Feil: Right, it is me.

Masaki: You will order me once more!

Feil: If I can help you take back what you've lost, I'd be happy to be your opponent.

Masaki: Your majesty…

Feil: That is also to atone my sins.

Masaki: Please don't talk about atonement! You were a wonderful person until your last moment!

Feil: Thank you, Masaki. Then, to respond to that, let me clear away your doubts. Is that alright?

Masaki: ...Understood. Let's go!! 

[Masaki vs Feil]

Masaki: Your majesty... You fought for peace, right?

Feil: Yeah, right... No, that was just my selfish thinking. You confirmed my error, Masaki.

Masaki: Ah…

Feil: Peace is a priceless thing. But, no one can give that. Everyone has to protect it through one's LIFE.

Masaki: Your majesty…

Feil: Your determination brought back I who was, back to my senses. That is, you can't gain anything without fighting.

Masaki: You can't gain anything... without fighting?

Feil: Peace and war is the same. Peace is the peace of slavery, war is the war of release, the war of defense. You lose track by putting it all together. The loss because of fighting is immeasurable. But, it is also true if you don't fight you can't gain anything, and you can't protect anything.

Masaki: I think... I can understand that but…

Feil: Then SEIZE IT! REMEMBER! The benefit, the loss by fighting with me!

Masaki: Ok!!

Feil: ...So you understand, Masaki?

Masaki: I lose you one more time?

Feil: No, the part of me that remained is due to your marvelous inheritage. You don't lose me.

Masaki: I... inherited?

Feil: It is the heart of elemental. The will of the elemental that built up in the Masoukishin. That is the thing that I entrusted to you. It is an independent will and can't be shrunk by anyone. It is a power that can fight against any threat. All of it is in the Masoukishin.

Masaki: Ah... I see. Masoukishin were originally born to fight, to protect… You taught that to me, your majesty…

Feil: Peace can't come if you just do as you're told. That is only slavery in another form, temporary peace.

Masaki: But... once bitterness is born, it will NEVER disappear…

Feil: Then let me ask you. You fight me because you hate me?

Masaki: Of course not! I have to do that because I have to fight…

Feil: Right. There are times you have to fight even if you want it or not. Similarly, there are times you have to fight no matter how much you are hated.

Masaki: Ah…

Feil: No one wants to be hated. But…

Masaki: I see... You mustn't take that as an excuse. You do the things you must do. That is more important.

Feil: Yeah, right... That is the old Masaki who stopped me.

Masaki: I must say we'll meet again instead of goodbye.

Feil: Oh well... I'll be there if you get lost again.

Masaki: Ah, then it is better if we don’t meet each other again.

Feil: There is always a time when you lost yourself in your life. Particularly like when you lost your sense of direction.

Masaki: Haha, smooth as always.

Feil: Fu...Hahaha. Then, sooner or later.

Masaki: Yeah... Your majesty.

Masaki: I can't believe I laughed when I was separated from him.

Masaki: !? What? There are still more...?

????: ...Masaki.

Masaki: ? Who are you?

????: Ah... At last you can hear my voice, Masaki.

Masaki: That's why, wth are you?

Cyphis: I'm Cyphis. I'm the elemental that protects Cybuster.

Masaki: What!? Cyphis... You can talk? Ah, no, wait. I remember I heard the same voice when I experienced Possession. No, but, that time I couldn't hear clearly like this. Moreover…

Cyphis: What's wrong with you?

Masaki: Cyphis is a woman?

Cyphis: Elementals have no sex but... its outward appearance is revived from the original shape of the worship figure.

Masaki: Ah, shit! I couldn't care less about that matter. On top of that, er…

Cyphis: Yes.

Masaki: Ah, no, er... I caused lots of trouble.

Cyphis: Right. Because you couldn't hear my voice.

Masaki: ...Sorry.

Cyphis: But, now we are synchronized to the extent I can speak with you like this.

Masaki: Ah, really... So this is synchronization.

Cyphis: Yeah. Perhaps also now you can go into Possession at will.

Masaki: ...You serious?

Cyphis: But, Possession is too much for you now to bear right now. You can't use it many times.

Masaki: ...I noticed from before that it is like using Cyflash.

Cyphis: Beside, because of the manifestation of my power, from the astral world, there is a possibility of an intervention to Cybuster.

Masaki: What do you mean by intervention?

Cyphis: To be concrete, because of the astral armor, the performance increases, one part of the shape changes.

Masaki: In short, Cybuster is powered up?

Cyphis: In colloquial language, that's right.

Masaki: ...Sorry for the colloquialism.

Cyphis: No, I like that side of you very much. There is no need to be humble.

Masaki: If you say that, you are unworldly. You're like a daughter of nobility. Well, besides the girls near me are also persons that don't look like girls at all, like Ryune.

Ryune: Masaki! I heard you! You are talking with Cyphis right?

Masaki: Oh? Eh? Ryune, you also can hear what Cyphis say?

Ryune: No. I can only hear your voice. Your muttering is something strange.

Masaki: Uh…

Cyphis: Let's save this kind of rare chance of sympathy later. I already explained all you need to know, so…

Masaki: I, I see…

Cyphis: But, I'm always together with Cybuster. And, I inherit the thoughts of everyone. The ones that die, the ones that live now, and the ones that exist in the future... Please never forget that.

Masaki: Yeah... Understood.

Cyphis: Then... If we have the chance to meet again…

Masaki: Yeah, surely.

Masaki: This is... Cybuster's new form?

Ryune: What... Cybuster changed its form?

Wendy: Eh... Why…

Ibun: That is the power of Cyphis.

Masaki: Yeah, so Cyphis lent me her power. I just want to make sure that I can bear Possession.

Wendy: Bear Possession... I can't believe that came true…

Masaki: Even if it is only a short time, now I can call Possession at will.

Wendy: Really!? I created it and can't even imagine that…

Ibun: I can see that Cyphis and Cybuster have very good compatibility.

Ryune: Eh? You returned to normal.

Ibun: It is because of the supporting system at the time Possession invokes. It can't always keep the remaining condition.

Wendy: ...Possession uses up lots of prana, it is better that you don't spam the thing… I can't be sure what will happen in future no matter how much we strengthen the machine.

Masaki: Right... I'm somewhat... tired…

Ibun: So that is your limit. Masaki, return to the true world.

Masaki: Sorry... I’m relying on you... 

#Scene 137#

Ibun: Um, at last you opened your eyes.

Masaki: Yeah... Thank you, grandma Ibun.

Ibun: The ones you have to thank are Madock, Tian, Zeoroot and king Feil, not me.

Masaki: Ah, right... Everyone, I've bothered you. Thank you.

Ibun: And also the two persons that worry about you.

Masaki: Y-yeah... Ryune, Wendy... Thank you.

Ryune: Ah, you make me embarrassed by saying that.

Wendy: Y-yeah.

Masaki: No, I have to say once more. If you two weren't there, I wouldn't have the second chance to ride Cybuster. Truly thank you.

Wendy: Masaki…

Ryune: Let's leave that aside! How do you feel? Are you tired?

Masaki: Ah... Sorry. The truth is I feel very tired... It is harsh for me to do such a thing…

Ryune: M, Masaki!?

Wendy: This is terrible!!

Ibun: Don't panic. He just temporarily lost consciousness since he used up too much prana.

Wendy: B-but, at this rate…

Ibun: Then... If you worry, you can supply him prana.

Wendy: Eh? By supplying prana... You mean that?

Ryune: What that?

Ibun: It is mouth-to-mouth feeding.

Ryune: What, by mouth-to-mouth feeding… Mouth-to-mouth feeding!?

Wendy: E, er, because it was an emergency treatment and there are no other choices, er…

Ibun: Why are you acting embarrassed now? You had experience with that from before right?

Ryune: Eh? Impossible!? She had... experience?

Wendy: T-that's why I said it was an emergency treatment! It is like artificial respiration!

Ryune: You cheated, Wendy-san!

Wendy: But, that... is an emergency event... and it is a story nearly 3 years ago…

Ryune: Then, since this time it is the same, please teach me how to do it.

Wendy: Eh? You mean how to supply prana?

Ryune: Yeah.

Wendy: T-that is... er, how should I say…

Ibun: You accumulate prana into the belly. If I'm not mistaken, on the surface they called that abdomen breath control.

Ryune: Ah, then I understand.

Ibun: Then, you pump the accumulated prana slowly like breathing. Different from artificial respiration, pump slowly through one breath.

Ryune: S-slowly…

Ibun: You have a lot of prana so I think it is easy to supply.

Ryune: W-well... Accumulate in the abdomen right? Let's see…

Ibun: Hmm, you did well even though it is your first time. Next is mouth-to-mouth feeding...

Ryune: … W-wait! As I thought, that suddenly is a bit…

Ibun: Hmm, well, it can't be helped. Then, Wendy. You will show her as a model.

Wendy: M!? Mmmmmodel asn in I, I'll do it actually?

Ibun: They call that model, right?

Wendy: B, but that…

Ibun: Now is the crucial time. There is no room for nitpicking. If you both don't like it, I'll do it for you.

Wendy: …

Ibun: Eh? Wendy, you…

Ryune: Eh!? W, Wendy-san!? Why is your hair...!?

Wendy: Eh? What? What's wrong?

Ryune: E, eh? Did I imagine that?

Ibun: ...Hmph. Somehow some influences are still left.

Wendy: Er... What do you mean by that?

Ibun: Wendy. If your emotions rise high, the emotion of Tuddy will come out a bit.

Wendy: Eh!? B, but, Sister already…

Ibun: Yeah, she died. But, because the memory that she shared with you hasn't vanished. But there is no need to worry. It doesn't mean Tuddy can come out. It is just the emotion close to Tuddy inside you show up by chance. The personality is probably a bit near Tuddy but, particularly no harm. Hohoho.

Masaki: U..U~m…

Ryune: Ah, Masaki! You recovered consciousness! Thank God…

Masaki: Eh? Oh? I slept?

Ibun: Careless as ever. Then By the way, Wendy. Just now you transformed into Tuddy but…

Masaki: Eh? Into Tuddy...? What do you mean by that?

Ibun: I see. So Masaki hasn't seen it yet. Then, a picture is worth a thousand words. Ryune, come here.

Ryune: Eh? What?

Ibun: I'll make the love of you two deeper. Here!

Ryune: Eh!?

Masaki: Uoh!? H, hey!? Grandma Ibun, why are you suddenly...?

Ryune: Eh!? Ah!? How... close we are together!?

Masaki: Uh!? W, what!? Let me go… Ouch!! Ryune! Don't do absurd things!

Ryune: S, sorry!

Ibun: Such and such, there is no need for you to rage pointlessly. It is just a small trick. If I do it for an instant it will go away.

Masaki: What trick!?

Ibun: On top of that, look at Wendy.

Wendy: …

Masaki: What!?

Ryune: The same as before…

Ryune: Ah, it went away.

Ibun: Hmph. Have you seen Masaki?

Wendy: E, eh? Why I, just now…

Masaki: Wendy, you haven't noticed your change?

Wendy: Eh? Ah... Was it the affection of Sister that grandma Ibun said a while ago?

Masaki: Grandma! What does that mean!?

Ibun: To put it simply, if Wendy's emotions run high, Tuddy's memory will affect her. But it is not a big thing so don't worry.

Masaki: ...It is really harmless?

Ibun: I can guarantee that. But she may show a bit of a sadistic character. Well, since Wendy is ordinary and obedient, I think that is somewhat rather good. Hohoho.

Masaki: It is not funny!

Ryune: ...Jeez. I think we've to be a bit careful from now on.

Masaki: Is that Ok for you, Wendy?

Wendy: Eh? Me? I don't care if it is particularly harmless.

Masaki: ...Well, I have nothing to say if Wendy said Ok.

Wendy: (I see... Even if Sister isn't fully herself, she lives inside me. I can't tell if it is joy or a burden...)

  1. Scene 138#

Mio: Yahoo! Long time no see!

Masaki: Yeah, sorry worry you.

Mio: Well well, that's mutual. Nevertheless, Masaki, you look strong more than ever.

Masaki: Really?

Mio: Yeah. Somewhat your skin looks glossy… Hah!? Could it be!? Wendy-san, Ryune-san!

Wendy: Eh?

Ryune: W-what?

Mio: ...Somewhat your skin is glossy. Ah, I see, so that's it. Nihihi.

Becky: Oh, I see.

Masaki: ...I don't know what you guys understand but you are just imagining.

Becky: There is no need to hide it. Understood, understood. Masaki finally became an adult.

Masaki: Have I said something wrong? Hey, Wendy, Ryune, don't keep silent…

Wendy: …

Ryune: …

Masaki: W-what's with those red faces! Explain to Becky…

Simone: That's enough. But it is probably a bit of a step up.

Becky: Well, let me ask that slowly later. By the way, how are Yanglong and Tyutti?

Masaki: Their lives are not in danger but they need time to rest.

Becky: I see. By the way, we received a report from Fang and Zash that they will return soon.

Masaki: So those two come here?

Becky: Yeah, the southern part reached a peace treaty at last. But only one part of them.

Xenia: If that is true, I want them to make a bit more connection to the south…

Guido: No, they did it nicely. For the time being that is best.

Xenia: Right... It is easy for Zash since he is Kirkus's son but it is probably too much to bear for Fang. Well, we have to rely on Ahmed for the rest.

Masaki: What do you guys aim to do by connecting with the south?

Xenia: Isn't it obvious, a link to Xenia division.

Masaki: Xenia division? What is that?

Xenia: Eh? I thought I told you?

Masaki:First time hearing this. What are you planning?

Xenia: Nothing disreputable. I always tell you the story of the intelligence division, right?

Masaki: That is, well, because you are always talking.

Xenia: It is the name of that intelligence division.

Masaki: Xenia division... No taste.

Xenia: I don't want to hear that from you.

Guido: I think it is a good name.

Masaki: I understand the intelligence division but what do you mean by connecting to the south?

Xenia: It is necessary for us to have a person who provides information from the south. It is good that we have Rodney and Eris from the north but…

Masaki: In short we need a spy?

Guido: No necessarily. We only collect and send news that flows in mass communication.

Masaki: I can't see why the net wouldn't help. There is also Ahmed right?

Guido: Naive. If there is no person in the actual place, you can't perceive the atmosphere. As for information gathering there are indispensable factors. One person normally can't deal with all problems.

Xenia: True. Masaki himself can't understand how important information is. Just how many times do you think you were saved by my information gathering? For The Antilles Corp information is the lifeline more than anything else.

Masaki: Understood, understood. Certainly because of your information we gained many allies.

Xenia: Then from now on, at the time of budget compilation stand by my side.

Masaki: Yeah, I promise.

Xenia: Ryune, you too. Especially if you are one of the accountants.

Ryune: I understand the importance of information. I saw the value of it from my Father. But, I know that the organization can't run with only that. Well, I'll take it into consideration.

Xenia: ...You're strict as ever when money is involved.

Wendy: Hmm hmm, Xenia-sama. Cybuster has powered-up.

Xenia: Eh!? Really!?

Wendy: Yeah. Thanks to Cyphis's new contract.

Xenia: Why didn’t you tell me earlier! Let's go to the hangar!

Wendy: Yes.

Masaki: H-hey, the briefing… They are gone. What's wrong with them?

Mio: Let's leave them, since we're finished discussing the important things.

Wagener: Yeah... It isn't necessary for me to appear. Well, since there is nothing left to say for today, you can rest comfortably.

Masaki: ...Well, Ok. 

#Scene 139#

Xenia: The appearance hasn’t changed but... I see, it has powered-up considerably.

Wendy: You are great Xenia-sama. You noticed it with only one glance. The specs have changed in many ways. Overall the energy efficiency has also risen. Most of all, the big point is it can go into Possession according to Masaki's will.

Xenia: Eh? Possession... can be possible by Masaki's command!?

Wendy: Indeed it is impossible to invoke permanently but there is no problem for a short time.

Xenia: Well, of course. No living human can bear Possession for a long time.

Wendy: If we can use it correctly, it is a heartening ally. I am afraid the strengthening this time is also to hold up to Possession.

Xenia: Tian couldn't bear this…

Wendy: Even Tyutti and Yanglong only made it temporarily.

Xenia: Is it the same as the one Masaki that invoked Possession naturally when he fought Christoph from before?

Wendy: Yeah, even I who created the contract system with high ranking elementals would say it is strange but… Originally, there was no frame construction that could bear Possession.

Xenia: Making a contract with a high ranking elemental, there turn out to be many problems that we didn’t expect.

Wendy: The strengthening this time is Cyphis' performance right? There are many points that I don't know.

Xenia: Let's investigate many things?

Wendy: Yeah, sure.

Xenia: Wonderful, Wendy! You understand me!

Wendy: Ah, now, Xenia-sama. Don't run, Cybuster won't run away. (Cybuster's true power... Possession is just nothing more than an example. There is room left for improvement but... Cybuster changes in ways that even I can't understand… No, it grows... I wonder if this is a good thing...?) 

#Scene 140#

Wagener: There are contacts from Fang and Zashford. They said they're being attacked by the mercenaries of the southern part.

Masaki: By mercenaries?

Guido: I guess their action is an inconvenience for the south. Since they can't officially use the army, they used the mercenaries, is what I concluded.

Masaki: Then there is no spare time! Let's go and save them!

Wagener: Yeah, right. Let's quickly head there. 

--------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 25: If the light is strong, the darkness can also deepen
--------------------------------------------------------------

#Scene 141#

Zash: There is a response from the elemental radar! It is the mercenaries of the south!

Fang: Yeah, I saw that. Somehow this is the debut battle of my Geolast.

Zash: Is it alright?

Fang: Don't worry about small things. This is the former machine that my master Zeoroot rode. It’s nothing that I can't handle.

Zash: Sorry for my rudeness.

Fang: So they came.

Zash: That is... Eulid!?

Fang: The bastards from Shutedonias... So they mass produced the Eulid…

Zash: Shit... I have to fix my father's mistake!

Margaret: What? The Masoukishin ain't here? I’ve lost interest.

Fang: How long will it take for Hringhorni to arrive?

Zash: About 20 minutes.

Fang: That's plenty.

Zash: Yeah. We can tidy things up before everyone comes.

????: Hmm, you are quite confident.

Fang: Eh!? Who are you!?

Elan: It is the first time I’ve met you. You are... Fang and Zash?

Fang: Black Cybuster!?

Zash: Then you are... Elan Zenosakis!?

Elan: Yeah, you seem to know me well. Thank you. Then, will you show me your skill, Fang?

Fang: In the name of my master, I'll not forgive the disgrace of Zenosakis's family!

Elan: Oh my! The pupils of Zeoroot are all short-tempered. Good then. Come.

Fang: As you wish!

Zash: Er... You forgot me? 

*Turn 4*

Masaki: We're on time!

Zash: Hringhorni! So you've come everyone!

Elan: Finally you came. Come out Masaki, I'm sick of weak opponents.

Masaki: Elan...! Good, let's duel!

Elan: Eh...? Could this posture be…

Masaki: Right... I'll show you! My mastery of... Possession!!

Elan: Hmph... So you mastered it at last.

Masaki: Elan, I won't let you do as you please!

Elan: Fufufu... Just as I thought. My effort was effective after all.

Masaki: Don't say stupid things!

Xenia: Eh...!? That is... Duraxyll!?

Wendy: It can't be... Why do they have such a thing in Shutedonias? Ah! Don't tell me Rasetsu is…

Mudeka: Right! This Duraxyll II is a product of Rasetsu-sama! It is an appropriate machine to bury you!

Xenia: ...Good grief, everybody is making fun of my Duraxyll!! I can't forgive you... I’ll never forgive you!!

Masaki: Mudeka... You. You degraded to a mercenary?

Mudeka: Antilles Corp... I'll beat you this time!

Fang: Masaki, you know him?

Masaki: Yeah, I've fought him several times.

Mudeka: You're... Fang!?

Fang: Eh? You know me?

Mudeka: You... Don't tell me you forgot! The semifinal of the Viento sword tournament!

Fang: The semifinal? I remember that I participated in that tournament but I can't remember my opponents. You were one of them?

Mudeka: Y-you disgrace me! I'll never forget it!

Masaki: ...Don't lose your guard Fang. That guy is stubborn. 

[Masaki vs Elan]

Elan: I can see a feeling of growth from you. Good, good.

Masaki: Don't play with me!!

Elan: I don't play with you. This is all serious. 

[Xenia vs Mudeka]

Xenia: Duraxyll II!? Don't make fun of me! This is a degradation product that can't draw out the original power of Duraxyll!

Mudeka: wth are you saying about a thing that Rasetsu-sama created! 

[Zash vs Elan]

Zash: Fuck you!

Elan: Hmm, as I see, your style is God Eternity. That style doesn't help much.

Zash: What... Who is helpless!?

Elan: Dear. Did I incur your wrath? 

[Zash vs Margaret]

Margaret: I'll sacrifice your blood before Masaki!

Zash: W... What... This dark prana... 

[Fang vs Elan]

Fang: You!! Why did you stand before us!

Elan: You can't grow up with lukewarm training right? Be tougher for me.

Fang: What does that mean!?

Elan: Think by yourself that thing. 

[Fang vs Margaret]

Margaret: I heard you're hurt by Masaki. Why are you his ally!?

Fang: That is my error. Masaki inherited his Highness's thought completely!

Margaret: Hmph... You are flatly a coward that can't take revenge! 

[Fang vs Mudeka]

Mudeka: This time, I'll make you remember my name!

Fang: You can relax. I already remembered you. Mukade, right?

Mudeka: It is Mudeka!! 

*Elan defeated*

Elan: I see... You grow quite a bit from before, Masaki.

That's it for today. See ya again. 

#Scene 142#

Wagener: You two. Your safety is paramount.

Fang: Long time no see, your Excellency.

Wagener: Dear, your expression is much more gentle than before.

Fang: Really? I haven't noticed it…

Wagener: That's good, Fang. You were a bit rash. As the way you are now, if you have spare time to train, you'll become an amazing pilot.

Fang: Thank you, your Excellency. I'll do my best to meet your expectations.

Wagener: You’ve also grown, Zashford.

Zash: Eh? E, er, you know me your Excellency?

Wagener: Yeah, because your father and I were old friends. I visited your house when you're 5 years old.

Zash: I see. Then from now on I am also looking forward to working with you.

Wagener: Me too.

Xenia: On top of that, Shutedonias has no honor for copying even Duraxyll…

Fang: But, that was used by a mercenary. It is not the official machine of the army.

Xenia: A peculiar custom machine? If it is not the south, a company that can provide Masouki to the mercenaries is... I have some ideas. Let's investigate. 

#Scene 143#

Masaki: How is it?

Xenia: No double, a correspondence.

Wendy: Yeah, it is the specification of the Maltena company.

Masaki: Maltena company?

Wendy: It is a temporary employee placement company that has the head office in Langran. That is the outward appearance.

Masaki: Outward appearance means they have an ulterior motive?

Wendy: Yeah. Maltena company is a company who takes war contracts.

Masaki: War contract...? There is such a company?

Mio: What are you saying? There are examples on the ground right?

Masaki: Really?

Guido: Well, there are lots of ordinary people who don't know that.

Masaki: They can make a company that runs on war contracts?

Wendy: Lending machine parts, training or defense, dispatch mercenary. It’s an entire industry.

Masaki: So they take advantage of war to make money? They aren't good guys.

Xenia: It isn’t that simple. In contrast, the country can save armament costs by importing them from outside.

Masaki: But, those guys attacked us. We can't leave such a company alone, right?

Xenia: The one who caused the attack is the south who hired them, not the company. The company isn't related to this at all.

Masaki: U... W, well, I know that but...

Xenia: Well, even so, the war potential of Maltena company is considerably unique, so it isn't too excessive to have an eye on them.

Masaki: So what will we do to keep an eye on them?

Xenia: We can't take mercenaries lightly. Because there are lots of soldiers that have plenty of experience in actual combat,they may be trusted to test new machines.

Masaki: Ah, I see.

Wagener: I have good information, everyone.

Masaki: Eh? Has something happened?

Wagener: Yanglong and Tyutti have regained their consciousness.

Masaki: I see... Thank God.

Wagener: From here we'll head to Solatis temple.

Masaki: Yeah, got it. 

#Scene 144#

Tyutti: Thank you for taking your time to come here.

Yanglong: Sorry for being a burden.

Masaki: Yanglong, Tyutti!

Mio: I'm truly glad... You guys are in good shape.

Yanglong: Sorry for making you worry but we're fine.

Tyutti: We feel better than ever, to the point that we can take on real combat right away.

Masaki: Hey hey, you guys really alright? Just a short time ago you were out cold.

Yanglong: It is the side effect of Possession. But, thanks to that there are many things that we realized.

Tyutti: Yeah, I think I can understand Gad's heart.

Yanglong: Which reminds me Masaki seems to have mastered Possession?

Masaki: Yeah, somewhat. But as I thought it takes a lot of prana. I should only use it at critical moments.

Tyutti: We haven't reached that state yet, but we could level up our prana.

Yanglong: Possession... Certainly that was an intense personal experience.

Tyutti: Yeah, it’s like you unite with the world…

Yanglong: Yeah, being able to catch a glimpse of the will of elemental is a rare experience. I want to master it if I can, but…

Ibun: There is no need to hurry, you two. You already are able to speak to your elementals. Sooner or later, you'll be able to handle Possession freely.

Tyutti: Ibun-sama, thank you for taking care of us all this time.

Ibun: I don't mind it. I only acted as an agent of the will of the elemental.

Yanglong: We’re glad for your words. By the way, Masaki.

Masaki: Eh?

Yanglong: What’s happened since we went out?

Masaki: I see... Zash and Fang had returned.

Tyutti: They're doing things in Shutedonias, right?

Xenia: At the present it is open to the public. But, it is true that Omgared is doing many things.

Tyutti: Omgared is at Shutedonias?

Xenia: Yeah, right. So you don't know that matter?

Guido: I'll explain it clearly to you two. Let's go to the Hringhorni's conference room.

Tyutti: Right. Let's do it.

Yanglong: Understood. Please teach us.

Masaki: We’ll also go with you. Thank you for taking all your time for us, grandma Ibun.

Ibun: Yeah, stay healthy. 

#Scene 145# (My guys were higher on average than the girls. If you want the translation for the girls level search for scene 290 in Jokage’s original guide)

Masaki: Shit! Who has the 6 of hearts! Pass! Pass 2!

Prescia: I did it! I'm first!

Zash: Er... Then, yes.

Masaki: What!? Zash, it was you!?

Zash: S-sorry.

Ryune: You don't need to apologize, Zash. Because this is a game like that. Even Masaki, despite him being terrible in the beginning…

Masaki: Shit! It is too early for you to write me off.

Ryune: I can't let Masaki always be a sole winner. Yes, Q of diamond.

Masaki: So you show it out at last. Then, K of diamond. The 5 of hearts are still out there.

Zash: My turn right. Then K of heart.

Ryune: Then, pass. By this it is pass 1.

Masaki: What!? You, Ryune!?

Ryune: Masaki is too easy to read.

Masaki: Damn... I lost, I lost!

Zash: Pass 1.

Ryune: Then, I'm second. 5 of heart.

Zash: I'm last on the list?

Prescia: Brother, you were strong at the beginning…

Ryune: Until we memorize your style.

Mio: Hey, what? You guys are playing a card game?

Prescia: Yeah, Brother taught the rules.

Mio: I'm good~. To the extent that I lose friends.

Masaki: ...I don't want to play with you.

Mio: Ah, yeah. Have you heard the story of Antilles shop?

Masaki: What is that?

Ryune: Ah, a commercial shop that we’re funding?

Mio: Right, that. It sells really well.

Masaki: Wait. wth on earth is that story?

Prescia: Brother, you slept during the budget meeting…

Masaki: Ah... I admit that but tell me what it is.

Mio: They made a shop that sells Antilles Corp's goodies. Of course, we're the direct managers. Masaki: Goodies?

Mio: Holomaid, T-shirt, mug cup, figure, various other things. With our holo or logo-print.

Masaki: W... What? They sell such things?

Xenia: It is very famous.

Masaki: Uoh!? Xenia, when did you…

Xenia: I heard Mio's suggestion but, no no, why why.

Masaki: ...Mio. Your suggestion?

Mio: Yeah. Because Xenia-san says it is necessary to advertise Antilles Corp, I think of something opposite of what we do.

Xenia: Online shopping is also favorable. To the extent that the production doesn't catch up.

Masaki: We’re turning a profit?

Xenia: It is more than expected.

Masaki: ...What will become of the world?

Mio: By the way, let's go and see how the shop actually runs.

Prescia: Yeah, seems interesting. I want to see!

Ryune: Right... I'm also curious.

Mio: See. See. Then, let's go everyone!

Xenia: Good then. We have spare time now.

Mio: Let's also invite Tyutti-san, Wendy-san and Mefil.

Ryune: Masaki, come with us.

Masaki: Well... I'm also free so Ok. 

#Scene 146#

Masaki: ... Simone: What is wrong with you, Masaki?

Becky: You seem to be in a bad mood?

Masaki: I mean, why am I the only man here? I feel like a sore thumb.

Xenia: Well well, you'll meet Fang when we get there.

Prescia: Hey, could that line-up be…

Becky: ...It seems so. Since the customers who want our goods are many.

Mio: This is prospering beyond my imagination.

Xenia: This is bad. It will turn into a riot if they know we're here.

Mio: Ta-dah! I've prepared for just such a case! The invisibility spell device!

Tyutti: ...Mio, you prepared well.

Xenia: It saved us. Let's use it and enter the shop by the backdoor.

Masaki: ...wth is going on?

Xenia: Phew... We made it smoothly without any issues.

Fang: Xenia-sama? When are you here...?

Xenia: Fang, how do you do?

Fang: That is, well…

Masaki: ...Fang, what are you doing?

Fang: Can’t you tell by looking?

Masaki: I don't.

Fang: ...I'm carrying luggage.

Masaki: What is that? Why you are…

Fang: I act according to Xenia's wishes. I heard that there aren't enough workers.

Masaki: ...You are a gofer.

Mio: But the shop looks prosperous.

Fang: This shop has a good reputation on the internet. If I show my face I'll receive autograph requests.

Xenia: Signatures? We can charge for those too, right?

Masaki: That is a greedy thought.

Tyutti: The lining up somehow calmed down.

Fang: Because the most popular holo-poster is out of stock.

Xenia: Did you order them?

Fang: Yes. I expect it will come in a short time. But, I noticed that it was a bit too much.

Xenia: What are you saying? We can still sell more that way, right?

Fang: No, but, I thought 100 cases is too much...

Xenia: 100!? Wait, I'm sure that I only said 10 cases…

Fang: ...Xenia-sama, please look carefully at this ordering document.

Xenia: Ah... There is one extra zero.

Fang: You submitted it, Xenia-sama.

Xenia: A, ahaha... So it is my fault.

Masaki: Hey hey, are you alright?

Xenia: No... Indeed we can't sell out 100 cases.

Fang: There is a spare room in the storehouse but it is for the other goods.

Xenia: It can't be helped... Then, let's store some in the Hringhorni…

Mio: Wait. Isn't it better if we can sell 100 cases? I have a good idea.

Xenia: What is it?

Mio: Listen. Well…

Xenia: Um um... Eh? That is good but... can we prepare?

Mio: Hahhahha... Wait a bit.

Mio: Ah, yes. Yeah, Mio. Please let me talk to Charian-san. Ah, Charian-san. Please send that thing. Enough for the number of people here. Right, the goods shop. Ah, that's why, I will keep silent on that matter. That's why, hurry. You understand the coordinate of the package gate right?

Masaki: What? You're communicating with Hringhorni?

Mio: Well, I’ll count on you. Yeah I understand. Bye.

Xenia: You're serious, Mio.

Mio: Of course. I prepared the part of all members here.

Xenia: All members? Don't tell me you included Fang and Masaki!?

Mio: Ah, I didn’t get that far. I'll prepare if you like, don't you think?

Xenia: No, good then. No more discussion. Like want to see or don't want to see…

Masaki: What are you two talking about?

Mio: You'll understand soon. Well, everyone. Change your uniform and prepare.

Wendy: Eh? Change uniforms?

Mio: Masaki and Fang, you two wait outside.

Masaki: H-hey?

Xenia: Now, out.

Fang: X-Xenia-sama?

Masaki: Good grief... wth is going on? 

#Scene 147#

Masaki: ...Maid uniform, at this late hour?

Xenia: Really? This is a fresh take for us.

Mio: You know, the situation took a turn.

Masaki: Whatever, there is no such style in Langran. Why aren’t you dressed up, Mio?

Mio: Fascination! Flirtation! Flattery! Such is my motto. If I wore that our fans would miss my style, right?

Masaki: You want to say it is unnecessary? But, you, when we saw Jino off you wore a pink furifuri, right?

Mio: That is a formal dress.

Masaki: That is not an excuse.

Wendy: Thank you.

Prescia: Thanks.

Masaki: ...Why are Wendy and Prescia so excited?

Wendy: Because this fashion is fresh.

Prescia: Yeah, it is somewhat interesting.

Masaki: Well... If you say so but…

Tyutti: I... feel a bit ashamed. I feel like we’re being stared at…

Mio: Yes yes, please don't touch the shop assistant! The travelling sales of posters is this way.

Masaki: Hey, they're using a vast number of camera's flash.

Mio: Well, I guess we can allow some photography.

Mio: Ah, hey, you! It is extremely insolent to take peeping photos from below!! Sit properly!!

Masaki: Say what!? Hey, you!! Wait!!

Fang: Hah!

Mio: Wow! Wonderful, Fang-san! You are terrific for breaking the camera!

Fang: ...Fool.

Masaki: Good grief. You must constantly be on guard.

Mio: There are always things like that in any world.

Masaki: Eh? What? Ah, it is me but… What!? Where!? Yeah, that is near where we are! Understood! We'll come there right away!

Mio: Is there something happening?

Masaki: Terrorists causing a riot. It is that idiot again. Near here.

Xenia: That idiot... Ah yeah, the Dawn Brigade right?

Masaki: Yeah, it is them. Call everyone back and head to the scene.

Xenia: Wait. We don't have to use full force to deal with him, right?

Masaki: What? No, well, he isn't a big problem but…

Xenia: Dealing with the store is more important now. We will continue selling so you men go to fight them.

Masaki: Hey hey, no matter how you put it, giving priority to this is strange.

Ryune: Masaki! Earning money is very important! The one who laughs at 1 yen will be laughed at by 1 yen!

Masaki: ...No, that is, cry at 1 yen, right?

Ryune: Good! In short we would need time to change our clothes.

Masaki: Good grief... Understood. We will get rid of them. Hey, Fang! Let's go!

Fang: Hmm... Understood. 

----------------------------------------------
Stage 26: Thump * The battle scene full of men
----------------------------------------------
(You can play this stage if the average level of your men are higher than your
women)

#Scene 148 (Map)#

Eric: Hiha!! So you came, Antilles Corp! You made me wait!!

Masaki: Good grief. I'm tired of being the opponent of an idiot.

Subordinate: Eh? Boss... Xenia-sama isn't here.

Subordinate: Prescia-chan also.

Subordinate: Even Ryune-chan, hey!

Eric: Eh? Isn't it good? The fewer enemies the better for us right?

Subordinate: It can't be! That's not what you promised! I longed for a meeting with Tyutti-sama…

Subordinate: Why are there only MEN!? Boss! Please explain the situation clearly!

Subordinate: Right! You don't understand why I joined the Dawn Brigade! I expected the fun of being hit by Ryune-chan…

Eric: Shaddup! Stop complaining! Look at “subordinate 3! He looks happy right?

Znero: (...Even if you can't memorize his name that way of calling subordinate 3 is somewhat...)

Subordinate: I.. like the thickness of Gennadii-sama's chest…

Subordinate: Uwah!? Disgusting!! Get the ladies out here!

Subordinate: O, o , o, I want to make Zash wear female clothing.

Subordinate: Uh... T, that is certainly interesting but…

Zash: W... What’s with those guys?

Masaki: Ah... In one word: idiot.

Eric: Don't say idiot when you look at people's faces! Rascals! Finish them! 

[Masaki vs Eric]

Eric: Hey you! Why are there no women!? Thanks to that, I can't raise my fighting spirit!

Masaki: Shut up! We have our own difficulties! 

[Gennadii vs Subordinate]

Subordinate: Ohoh! Gennadii-sama! You have wonderful muscle's beauty!

Gennadii: ...Hmph. 

[Zash vs Subordinate]

Zash: You! I can't forgive you wanting to dress me up!

Subordinate: O, you are cuter when you are angry.

Zash: Y-you... That is even worse!! 

[Fang vs Znero]

Znero: What happened to the woman's squad? Could you tell me why they're not here?

Fang: Well, that is none of your business.

Znero: Then, please teach me the key to acquiring female members. We are only squalid rascals that never had any luck. Sometimes I thought a female would enter our gang but they quit right away. Why?

Fang: ...Think for yourself.

Znero: As I thought, we need more cool guys.

Fang: (...Compared to them I’m blessed aren’t I?) 

#Scene 149#

Mio: Hi, thank you for your hard work.

Masaki: You only said that the ones took on all the trouble?

Mio: Then, will Masaki also wear maid clothes to attract customers?

Masaki: ...You gotta be kidding.

Ryune: Whoa, that was a terrific amount of sales. Good reputation building.

Xenia: In a blink of time the photos were up on the net.

Wendy: I can't believe we sold ALL 100 cases.

Masaki: What!? You did!?

Prescia: Yeah, we sold them all just a while ago.

Masaki: ...I have to admit it is terrific.

Ryune: We can gain large profits if we do this everyday.

Masaki: That is putting the cart before the horse.

Ryune: Well, I understand but...But, I feel good when I'm fawned over by everyone.

Tyutti: Right. Since it will improve the image of Antilles Corp, I won't mind if we do it once in a while.

Masaki: ...So you’ll throw the task of fighting to men at that time?

Mio: If you like, there is also a reverse version.

Masaki: What is the reverse version?

Mio: Masaki and his men will become butlers and sell.

Masaki: ...I would like to but no thanks.

Mio: But we got requests.

Wendy: ...It is too bad.

Ryune: Yeah.

Masaki: What are you expecting of me? Also why did strange costumes like maid clothing immediately appear?

Mio: That is, you know, there is a person in Hringhorni that is strong on cosplay..., no sewing.

Masaki: These were sewn?l! Who made that?

Mio: I can't say since it is confidential.

Xenia: On top of that Mio, I wonder if there are goods that might become more popular?

Mio: Yeah... The goods that might become more popular…Ah! Right, that is good! The hug pillow!

Xenia: Hug pillows are... popular?

Mio: Right right.

Xenia: They sell that in the bedding shop right?

Mio: It's not the hug pillow itself, but its cover. We'll print on the cover.

Xenia: Print what?

Mio: Our life-sized figures.

Wendy: The life-size figure... on the hug pillow? I think that is the line we shouldn't go over...

Masaki: Mio!! Don't bring anymore strange culture to Langran!!

Mio: Eh? But I think it will be a big seller.

Masaki: Good grief. Let's stop this stupid talk and go home. Everyone, change your clothes.

Mio: Yes~. 

#Scene 150#

Zash: Ah!? Sorry!

Ryune: Ah, Zash? Sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going.

Zash: Eh? Ah…Ryune-san!?

Ryune: This is luggage? It is better to carry such things by cart.

Zash: Ah, er! Because it is very important to me, I have to carry it myself carefully.

Ryune: I see. Then, I'll help you.

Zash: Ah!? Sorry but I can do it myself!

Ryune: You don't have to be shy. Just trust me with work that requires strength.

Zash: N-no, er... B-but…

Ryune: Trust me. Here we go.

Zash: Ah!?

Ryune: Oh, the bottom fell out. If we don't fix it properly…Eh? This is…

Zash: Wa, waaaaaah!! Don't look!!

Ryune: ...My merch that sells in Antilles shop...?

Zash: Er…

Ryune: What, this much? Uwah!? This is a figure? If you look it is well-made.

Zash: Yeah... E, er, sorry.

Ryune: What? Why are you apologizing? Even though you're contributing to the sales.

Zash: Eh?

Ryune: But if you want them, it is a waste of money to buy by retail, since you can buy them with the company discount price.

Zash: E-er... You’re not angry with me?

Ryune: Angry? Why?

Zash: Er... Something like an unpleasant feeling.

Ryune: Of course not. If you say that in the service industry you'll be disqualified as a salesman right?

Zash: I-I see... Right.

Ryune: Look, they are still dropping out.

Zash: Ah, yes.

Ryune: Then, let me carry it.

Zash: Ah, er, Ryune-san.

Ryune: Eh? What?

Zash: Er... Do you have any idea on planning to release something like a photograph collection? Er... Something like a swimsuit collection.

Ryune: ? I didn't hear well at the end but I don't think I'll do that. As expected there are no requests for such a thing.

Zash: That is not so! I... er... even 100 pictures or 1000 pictures…

Ryune: You're muttering again. Well, Xenia or Wendy should produce the photograph collection. If it is them business will be easy.

Zash: Ah, no, but I er... prefer Ryune-san’s merchandise…

Ryune: Ah, even Prescia is good! Jino-san will buy all of her's. I wonder if I'm a bit greedy. But, it seems to be a good business! Next time let's propose the idea!

Zash: (I'll surely buy it if I see Ryune-san's) 

#Scene 386 (Continue from stage 26 or stage 48 (intermission) - At this rate 
we're locked on to Yanglong's exclusive route)

Masaki: Did something happen? You called all the members suddenly.

Wagener: A small problem occurred.

Masaki: Well, I'm not surprised... what happened?

Wagener: The anti-war resolution was submitted in the Langran congress.

Mio: Anti-war resolution? Regarding Shutedonias?

Wagener: Yeah. They plan to declare that Langran will not intervene at all in the war of north and south Shutedonias.

Masaki: Anti-war resolution... Langran thought it was somebody else's problem in the end.

Wagener: The problem is what happens after that. What do you think Shutedonias will do if they know that?

Masaki: Ah, I see. Because Langran declared that they don't plan to support any side…

Wagener: If that resolution is approved, the changing of Shutedonias's balance also occurs.

Yanglong: But, on the bad side.

Tyutti: Good grief... The congress of Langran, as usual, saves their own skin…

Folch: Because they're counting on you guys.

Masaki: Gross, Folch! You came?

Folch: Of course.

Tyutti: In other words, they want us to stop interrupting the war of north and south Shutedonias?

Folch: The government doesn't interfere to that extent. But because the chance it will turn bad is high, I was dispatched.

Masaki: The Langran government plans to do nothing?

Folch: Because it leaves bad after-taste to support either side.

Guido: But doing nothing leaves bad after-taste too.

Folch: But you do have leeway.

Yanglong: Leeway?

Folch: The Antilles shop event. You are earning lots of cash.

Ryune: Tee hee, thank you.

Folch: ...Do you understand that is not a time for sarcasm?

Xenia: Actually, it is our major source of funds. The government stopped supporting us right?

Folch: If you're to be treated as an independent nation, it is easy to understand.

Xenia: I won’t ask you to send us cash at this late hour. However, at least do something with the congress members that are negative against Antilles Corp.

Folch: Everyone has the right to speak.

Xenia: At least confirm and publicize our achievements properly.

Folch: We're handling it positively.

Mio: That's why we ain't politicians from the country of somewhere.

Folch: I'm merely an inspector. I don't have the authority to answer definitively.

Masaki: ...Well good. We mustn't quarrel. 

#Scene 387#

Masaki: Phew... I think I should stop.

Prescia: Well done Brother. Here, the towel.

Masaki: Oh, thanks, Prescia.

Gaen: ...The thing you did just now was sword training?

Masaki: What, Gaen? You wanna critique?

Gaen: I heard you learned the sword from Zeoroot.

Masaki: Rather than learn, I was made to be his punching bag.

Gaen: I see, you haven’t learned God eternity style officially.

Masaki: God... Ah, the name of the school that old man used?

Gaen: Then I understand. Your sword is very self-taught style.

Masaki: I said so right?

Gaen: Then, practice properly under a good teacher. Your training just now is a blasphemy to God eternity style.

Masaki: A good teacher... Like Fang?

Gaen: That guy might look good as a practitioner but his level isn't fit for teaching people.

Masaki: Don't talk whatever you like when he isn't here. It can't be helped.

Gaen: ...How about you try a match with me?

Masaki: What? You want a match with me?

Gaen: Right. You have released an interesting prana since you returned from Solatis temple.

Masaki: Let's end this talk. You're always welcome if you think you can do it.

Gaen: Fu... Good preparation. Then…

Xenia: Ah, there you are! What are you doing? Quickly come to the briefing room!

Masaki: What, so suddenly?

Xenia: We got news from Ahmed. There was movement in Shutedonias.

Masaki: They already began to move? Understood, I'll come right away.

Gaen: ...So the match was postponed.

Masaki: Yeah, let's wait for another time. 

#Scene 388#

Wagener: ...That's the circumstance.

Guido: Fortress? Certainly it is too dangerous to leave it alone.

Xenia: The north plans to attack the south by using the fortress as a starting point.

Becky: Isn't a fortress a thing used for defense?

Guido: On the occasion it was built at the front line, they can let out an attack on the base through it. You can't say it is always exclusively for defense.

Yanglong: Anyway, it is a situation we can't overlook. The construction of the fortress violates the treaty.

Masaki: Yeah, we can't allow that.

Mio: Um, I think so too.

Tyutti: Right…

Wagener: Then, let's head to the fortress of the north. 

------------------------------
Stage 27: Capture the fortress
------------------------------

#Scene 389 (Map)#

Masaki: That's the fortress?

Xenia: Good grief, it isn't even finished. We were too quick.

Akraid: A~a, they noticed it?

Wagener: We're Antilles Corp. In the name of Federation's treaty, please cancel the construction of the fortress.

Akraid: Even you say so... My duty is to defend here. I can't obey that request.

Wagener: Then, you'll receive a forcible execution. Is that understood?

Akraid: Well, let it be. It is mutual work.

Riciel: How dare you join hands with the south!

Akraid: It isn't that obvious right?

Riciel: Even if you said so, Major. It is true that those guys are in our way of constructing the fortress.

Akraid: Major? Ah, right. I forgot that I became a major.

Riciel: Don't lose your focus! You're the commander!

Akraid: Sorry sorry. Then, I'll stand in the front line like a commander. Oh, I can't forget this. Deploy the automatic guns.

Xenia: Ah, as I thought, the electromagnetic guns were deployed.

Masaki: How troublesome... Let's crush it.

Akraid: Well, first let me see your skill. 

*Turn 2*

Jino: Sorry for letting you wait, gentlemen.

Prescia: Jino-san!

Jino: Ah, Prescia. You're always lively. The petite lily bears the snowstorm.

Roselie: ...I always wonder: where does that lily come from?

Masaki: Jino and Roselie? We're saved.

Roselie: Fuhfuu, trust us! 

[Roselie vs Nico]

Nico: A... Roselie-chan?

Roselie: Oh, er... You are Nico-chan or Rico-chan?

Nico: I'm Nico! Please remember properly!

Roselie: Then, I wish I worked harder to distinguish you. Well, anyhow I won't hold back!

Nico: Me too, Roselie-chan! 

[Jino vs Nico]

Jino: Hmm, as I thought it was you, Rico Sandriv.

Nico: Don't get it wrong! I'm Nico, uncle Jino!

Jino: S, sorry. Anyway, I won't go easy on you.

Nico: I know! 

[Guido vs Akraid]

Guido: What plan did you use this time? Akraid!

Akraid: It doesn't worth your concern, Seehofer-san.

Guido: Oh... It is my honor that you know my name.

  1. Scene 390#

Coret: There is contact from major Barom of the north army.

Wagener: Contact? He surrendered?

Coret: Shall we connect?

Wagener: Yeah, please put on the main.

Akraid: Hi. I'm the commanding officer of this fortress, major Akraid Barom.

Wagener: If I remember correctly, according to our data, a few days ago you were first lieutenant... You were promoted fast.

Akraid: No, because our army doesn't have enough staff.

Masaki: That's enough introductions. What is your business with us?

Akraid: I request a capitulation, Ok?

Wagener: How can we reject it. You're welcome.

Masaki: Capitulation? You decided extremely quickly.

Akraid: Because we're painfully aware of Antilles Corp's real ability. It is meaningless to resist more than this.

Masaki: Then you should have surrendered from the beginning.

Akraid: I want to do that very much but... Aa, it hurts! What are you doing, lieutenant Grenor? Ah, sorry. Well, because I have to follow orders, I have to resist a bit.

Masaki: Well, if you surrender, we're happy to accept it. We don't want to break into the interior and fight.

Akraid: Good grief. I have to value the lives of my underlings.

Wagener: By the way, how many men does your side have? Our ship could only carry a limited number of prisoners. If they're too many, it is impossible to carry them all.

Akraid: Ah, if that's the case don't worry. There are only 18 people including me.

Xenia: Really!? You mean there are only 18 persons protecting the entire base?

Guido: No matter how much automation you have, that's too little.

Akraid: I'm elitist.

Simone: You don't hide huh?

Akraid: Of course. If you like you can investigate the inside as much as you want.

Wagener: No, it isn't necessary. Then, we'll accept all the prisoners. But indeed independent action is impossible.

Akraid: Of course. If we can receive the guarantee of prisoner's treatment.

Wagener: Yeah, I can guarantee we'll treat them based on the treaty.

Akraid: Then, can I request a ride on the ship since we're disarmed?

Tyutti: Xenia-sama, please do a sensor check.

Xenia: Roger. Hey, Fang. Help me.

Fang: Yes.

  1. Scene 391#

Akraid: Wow... This is the bridge of Hringhorni? No, it's really something!

Guido: Is it alright showing the bridge, Xenia-sama?

Xenia: No one can understand the true value of this ship just by looking. There is no secret.

Akraid: Well, even if there is, because I have no sense for mechanics, I completely don't understand at all.

Masaki: ...You have a strange outlook.

Akraid: No, I am often being said that I lack tension.

Nico: Is the discussion of returning the prisoners finished?

Tyutti: Now we're working it out.

Akraid: Well, I'll tell you anyhow, lieutenant Sandriv is the idol of our army. It is fine to overcharge her.

Tyutti: It is not a problem of cash in particular... 

#Scene 392#

Masaki: Yo, Jino, Roselie. You returned at last.

Roselie: Indeed, because I've had a tough day.

Jino: No, Roselie didn't work that hard.

Roselie: Because the big shots are many I was worried.

Masaki: Hahah, as ever. So, you're done with Bagonia?

Jino: Yeah, don't worry. The power that be accepts our action.

Roselie: Somehow the minister of the present post showed understanding for us.

Masaki: What, that is an important thing. Jino was well-known.

Jino: Because I relied on the help of fellow students of God eternity style.

Roselie: It is the gratitude to our teacher.

Jino: Yeah... Right. 

#Scene 393#

Guido: Yo, Wendy. Could you give me some time?

Wendy: Oh, Guido-san. What?

Guido: Actually, there is a thing I want you to fix for me.

Wendy: ? What is it?

Guido: This…

Wendy: This is... a surface wristwatch?

Guido: Yeah, it is a thing I received when I was in the army. I thought it only ran out of battery but…

Wendy: I see... It is attached with a solar cell but the panel and the liquid crystal is aging and... since the battery's standard is different with the one here...Sorry, I have a lot of things to repair.

Guido: Yaha... Oh dear, I see. Because it is a memento to me, I want you to fix it if you can but… Then, do you know any place that might be able to fix this thing?

Wendy: Ah, if that's the case I know. There is a junk shop nearby that handles surface things like this.

Guido: Oh, thanks God! Can you guide me to it?

Wendy: Eh? Me?

Guido: Yeah,you don’t have to to force yourself if you're busy. But, it helps me a lot if you go with me. Somehow I'm weak going as the navigator told me. I won’t say I'm the same as Masaki, but I've no sense of direction.

Wendy: Fufu... Because that of Masaki is strong. I see... Alright. Because I'm free and there is spare time.

Guido: Really? Thank you. Then let's prepare the freuler right away.

Wendy: Yes.

Xenia: ... 

#Scene 394#

Xenia: Go out, Masaki! Hurry!!

Masaki: ...What are you saying, suddenly enter other people's rooms without even knocking?

Xenia: I'll explain the matter along the way, hurry now!!

Masaki: H-hey you! Don't pull me!

Xenia: ...Well, that's it.

Masaki: ...I understand the situation. But, I've two questions. The first one is: why do you know this place?

Xenia: Because, Guido asked me the same thing before he asked Wendy.

Masaki: Eh? You mean Guido already knew this place and invited Wendy anyway?

Xenia: Right. Very good tactic. The junk shop is a perfect point to take out Wendy.

Masaki: ...But I think normally an expensive restaurant is good. Good anyway. Then, the second question: why are you and I here?

Xenia: Because it is rather interesting.

Masaki: You!

Xenia: Quiet! You want us to be found?

Masaki: Ugh… B-but, hiding like a stalker in this way is…

Xenia: Eh? You don't worry about Wendy?

Masaki: ...Isn't it good for her to go shopping with Guido?

Xenia: What are you saying? The opponent is Guido.

Masaki: Opponent?

Xenia: There is rumor that he is seducing the all single women of Hringhorni.

Masaki: What? That guy has that much thoroughness? Eh? Wait. Then, you and Ryune also were seduced?

Xenia: Yeah. But I refused right away. Ryune also.

Masaki: R-really?

Xenia: You’re relieved?

Masaki: ...That's good. Eh? Hey, talking about single women, don't tell me even Prescia was counted?

Xenia: Not to that extent. Jino is looking after her.

Masaki: ...I don't know if I feel relieved or not.

Xenia: Jino is a gentleman, why aren’t you relieved? You know, on top of that those two are a bit too close to each other, don't you think?

Masaki: What!?

Xenia: Hey! You mustn't lean forward. Because now I’m gathering vocals via directional mike.

Masaki: ...We look like good old stalkers.

Guido: Oh... This is the same type of lithium battery as on the surface.

Wendy: Yeah, the size and the voltage are the same with the standard of the surface. However, its content is a semi-permanent battery.

Guido: Semi-Permanence? The technology here is really great.

Wendy: Yeah, the workers of this shop have the nature of fanatical attention. They reproduce perfectly even the things from the surface.

Guido: Ah, no, not that but, I just want to say that the technology of La Gias is very advanced.

Wendy: I see... Certainly in the aspect of technology we advanced. But, since we sealed the technology that goes beyond control, I heard that our standard of living doesn't change that much.

Guido: The standard of living... Certainly by that point, what shall I say, this world feels comfortable. I don't feel to run at all, stand still and watch the scenery, I have that feeling.

Wendy: Yeah, good metaphor. But, because recently there are lots of various events, we became busy.

Guido: Um, I want to quickly put an end to this riot. By the way, I wonder what this is?

Wendy: Eh? A... This is…Amazing, there is even this!

Guido: Oh... This must be a very rare thing to attract you this much.

Wendy: Yeah! This is the crystal memory that went out of production 100 years ago.

Guido: Crystal memory?

Wendy: It is a thing that records voice and image by laser in the heart of crystal. Cute right?

Guido: I see. It looked like an accessory.

Wendy: Yes, even if it is an accessory it is a priceless treasure.

Guido: But, why did it go out of production?

Wendy: Because it is originally crystal, it breaks easily and the capacity is not that much…

Guido: Then, I'll buy you one as a present.

Wendy: Eh? Present? For me?

Guido: Yeah, will you accept it?

Wendy: B-but, it is very expensive…

Guido: It is a cheap thing if I can see your smiling face because of it.

Wendy: Eh…

Xenia: It is standard but effective. Ah, I also want one!

Masaki: …

Xenia: Oh? Masaki, jealous?

Masaki: Nonsense!

Xenia: Ah, she accepted.

Masaki: What?

Wendy: I see... Then, I won't protest.

Guido: I'm happy with that.

Wendy: I'm the one who must express the gratitude here. Thank you.

Guido: No, just think that it is a gift for your trouble to accompany me.

Wendy: Ah, yes.

Guido: Well, you must be hungry. How about taking a meal?

Wendy: A... Er, sorry. I've got work to do after this.

Guido: Hmph... As I thought I can't expect that much of a step up.

Wendy: Hmm? Did you say something just now?

Guido: No no, just speaking to myself. Don't mind it. ...But there are probably people listening secretly.

Xenia: !? I've made light of you, Guido.

Masaki: What's wrong?

Xenia: Probably Guido noticed us.

Masaki: Say what!?

Xenia: It is easy to understand if you try to think. Guido is a former intelligence member. A, he is active even now.

Masaki: …

Guido: Then, let's return to Hringhorni.

Wendy: Yes.

Guido: There is no need to worry. It is just an escort.

Wendy: ? Er, who did you talk to there?

Guido: My muttering, muttering.

Wendy: Ha, haa…

Guido: But well, if I have to give you a warning, I’ll just say: it doesn't mean I gave up.

Wendy: Er, what does that mean?

Guido: In short, should I invite you again? I'm just asking that.

Wendy: Y-yeah... Er, but if there is time.

Guido: Thank you. Then, let's return.

Xenia: ...Ah, as I thought, I wonder if that's the declaration of war. Masaki, you can't be careless.

Masaki: Shut up. It is also time for us to return.

Xenia: ...Indeed, because you aren’t honest.

Masaki: You said something?

Xenia: Nothing~. 

#Scene 395#

Wagener: Finally there was a reply from the north.

Becky: So, what do they say?

Wagener: They'll do a peace negotiation with the south, they want us to prepare the location.

Yanglong: How about the prisoners?

Wagener: The restoration of prisoners will also be carried out at that place.

Masaki: Peace negotiation... The north is serious?

Guido: Yeah, if I'm the head of the south, I won't respond to peace negotiation. It will destroy my military gains at once.

Masaki: That's what I thought. Even if the losing side is doing peace negotiation, they are only being taken advantage.

Xenia: A, wait a bit. There is a report from Ahmed...Eh? Uwa, I see…

Masaki: You got something?

Xenia: Um, the invasion troops of the south were annihilated.

Masaki: Annihilated? When?

Xenia: When we were capturing the fortress.

Guido: That is a big failure.

Xenia: Yeah. This is the reason why the north proposed peace negotiation. Probably, it refers to Akraid.

Guido: See. I can only think of him among the strategists that can produce that much of military gains.

Masaki: Wait. That guy was protecting the fortress and fought us right?

Xenia: It is obvious he was taking command at the fortress at the behest of his superiors, right?

Guido: Yeah, probably he already predicted we would come to the base.

Xenia: That probability is high since they deployed few troops.

Masaki: Anyway, both sides split the differences. With this it is simple to establish peace…

Xenia: Given the situation now, a temporary ceasefire is the best we can do.

Masaki: Well, even so it is better than war.

Wagener: Then, let's head to the location of the peace negotiation. 

#Scene 396#

Masaki: They'll do the peace negotiation at this place?

Ryune: Well, certainly this is a neutral zone, anti-war region but…

Elsine: Long time no see, everyone.

Masaki: Elsine... As I thought, you’re also present at the peace negotiation?

Elsine: Yes. I’ll participate as the witness of a neutral position.

Masaki: Neutral... I guess that’s you.

Elsine: Er, what?

Masaki: No, never mind. Nothing.

Yanglong: ...You are Elsine?

Elsine: Yes, right... And you are?

Yanglong: Pardon me. I'm Whan Yanglong. I'm the pilot of Masoukishin Granvale.

Elsine: Ah, I see. Nice to meet you. I'm Elsine Theresia.

Yanglong: I don't want to say such a thing to the person I just met but, I don’t want you to cut in our business.

Elsine: Eh? Er... I've done something rude?

Yanglong: I don't ask for details but, because of your words Masaki fell to the wrong path.

Elsine: Well... I'm very sorry about that.

Masaki: Hey hey, wait, Yanglong! That is just my selfish anxiety…

Yanglong: The truth is her words became the clue. Moreover I also heard her speech. There is a thing I want to say no matter what.

Elsine: Yes, what is it?

Yanglong: You want to negate all fighting?

Elsine: Yes, that's right.

Yanglong: Including battles for self-defense?

Elsine: Well... If possible I also want to prevent that. However, rebellion against unreasonable domination is natural.

Yanglong: Hmph... Nonviolence, nonobedience? It is a good idea as idealistic theory but to swap that with action in reality is very difficult. Once on the surface there were figures who put that thought into practice. It was accepted as idealistic theory but in reality it is a non-mainstream faction. Even in La Gias now is the same right?

Elsine: Yes, I'm afraid to say that's right.

Yanglong: That is because your assertion forces self-sacrifice too much. It is unreasonable to request that much of humans in general.

Elsine: But, if people don't have ideals, they are nothing but animals.

Yanglong: That is some extreme logic. I don't deny that an ideal is necessary. But, I only say don't force that on other people.

Elsine: I don't force ideals. I only explain the importance of holding ideals.

Yanglong: Even the Mozi chanted for anti-war, universal love didn't deny defensive battle. The idealistic theory that no one can deny sometimes causes evil. I want you to remember that.

Masaki: Yanglong, stop here. Why are you suddenly picking a fight?

Yanglong: Hmm... Certainly I was a bit impolite. Sorry for my rudeness, Elsine.

Elsine: No, I'm also happy to hear a hearty story.

Ryune: ...I can't believe there is a person in this world who can debate fair and square with Yanglong.

Yanglong: That's rude. Even I have a certain amount of tolerance for properly defended opinions.

Ryune: Yes yes.

Akraid: Hey hey, what's wrong, everyone?

Masaki: Akraid? You returned a short time ago because of the prisoner return right?

Akraid: Yeah, I was appointed to guard this place.

Masaki: You're also being used.

Akraid: Well, because it is too much for only me to defend, I also brought lieutenant Sandriv.

Nico: ...Hi.

Elsine: Even though everyone is young... you've lots of hardship.

Akraid: No, I'm not young anymore.

????: Sister!!

Nico: A... Rico!?

Rico: I found you at last!!

Nico: H-hey! Don't hold me! The people are watching!

Rico: A... Sorry, Sister.

Akraid: Oh my! It is a coincidence that the Sandriv sisters are together.

????: Major Barom.

Akraid: A, you're, general Dastrasch! I can't believe you appeared in person.

Leffen: I have to protect Rico. Even so, you're an amazing Major.

Akraid: Er? At what?

Leffen: It is useless to assume innocence. The skill of that tactic... Who could design it but you?

Akraid: You overestimate me, General. A mere major surely can't move the army right?

Leffen: I see... Then, let's leave it as that.

Akraid: Yes, please do so.

Xenia: …

Masaki: Eh? What's wrong, Xenia?

Xenia: A, no. Nothing… (Major Akraid... A character that needs special care... If I don't do something like marking...)

Yanglong: Eh? Elsine, what's wrong?

Elsine: Ah, no. Because this person seems to be wounded, I'll heal him…

South Soldier: Fuhfuhfuh.

Elsine: Kyah!?

Masaki: !? What's wrong!?

Wulf: Hey, don't move.

Masaki: You... Wulf!? When did you…

Akraid: What are you planning by taking Elsine-sama hostage?

Wulf: Open the way.

Masaki: Wait! What do you want to do!?

Wulf: I’ll only say one more time. Open the way.

Masaki: Damn... You don't bother to tell us?

Wulf: Yeah, that will do. Stand still as you are…Muh!? Muuh!? You…

Yanglong: Elsine, now, this way!

Wulf: You think I'll let you!

Yanglong: Naive!

Wulf: Guh... Y-you... use strange martial art... You said you're Yanglong?

Yanglong: Eat a little Shaolin kungfu. Don't move. I’m not the only one who knows some strange martial arts.

Wulf: ...Indeed. It seems I've underestimated you bastards a little.

Yanglong: Prepare yourself, Wulf.

Wulf: Well, I wonder about that?

Yanglong: Muh!? Lay down!!

Masaki: Uoh!?

Akraid: Reisouki Jiwen... Since when.

Yanglong: Muh!? Wulf... escaped?

Masaki: We'll meet then with our Masouki! 

------------------------
Stage 28: The fake peace
------------------------

#Scene 397 (Map)#

Masaki: the Church of Volkruss... to them peace negotiation is only a hindrance.

Gaen: Wulf... Let's settle our business here.

Nico: Rico, it has been long since I fought together with you.

Rico: Yeah, Sister. You haven’t lost your touch huh?

Nico: Don't misjudge me. I haven't missed any training. How about you Rico? Are you alright with it?

Rico: Trust me! 

[Prescia vs Wulf]

Wulf: The girl of Zenosakis again? 

[Gaen vs Wulf]

Gaen: Hmph... Repeating mistakes many times like this means you’ve lost your touch, Wulf.

Wulf: You who are corrupt don't have the right to say that to me. 

#Scene 398#

Akraid: ...This is troublesome, General.

Leffen: Yeah, even though we reached thus far, at this rate the outcome of the ceasefire treaty is uncertain.

Masaki: Why did it turn into the story that it is our fault?

Akraid: Sorry, Masaki-kun. Our ambassador said a rude thing.

Leffen: No, our south also is equally to blame. Even though it is decoration just to prevent the assassin of the Church of Volkruss…

Masaki: Those guys surpass a phantom. Even we're having a hard time handling them.

Akraid: the Church of Volkruss... Troublesome opponents. We can't read them very well.

Leffen: Oh, such a thing happens to you, Major?

Akraid: Of course. Also, if I don't increase the choices…

Leffen: Mu, somehow the sequel begins. We also must join in.

Akraid: Right... But I can't say my opinion. 

#Scene 399#

Tyutti: So, how was it?

Masaki: ...Don't you understand just by looking at my face?

Tyutti: It was unsettled?

Masaki: Yeah, it ended in complete failure. At the last moment, the two ambassadors put the responsibility on us.

Xenia: Ah, both north and south made mistakes when choosing their ambassadors. Both of them are self-protecting fools. They passed the buck on to us because they poorly showed the opponent their weakness.

Wagener: If Elsine-sama didn't intervene, it looks like they planned to drag condemning resolutions against us.

Guido: If that's the case, we have to worry about the outcome of the war from now on.

Masaki: Yeah, it seems one of the two sides will act soon.

Xenia: It is Xenia division's turn! Trust us in collecting information!

Masaki: Yeah, we're relying on you. 

#Scene 400#

Masaki: Oh, Roselie, Jino. What are you doing? Eh? Those two…

Rico: …

Nico: …

Roselie: Ah, don't be shy. It is Ok.

Jino: Um, like Roselie said. Hey, salute properly.

Nico: G... Good afternoon.

Rico: ...Good afternoon.

Masaki: Y-yeah. If I remember correctly you girls are the Sandriv sisters right? Why are you here?

Roselie: They wanna have a field trip around the ship since they have spare time.

Masaki: Field trip? Is that Ok?

Roselie: Of course, since right now there is no batte. They also got permission from Wagener-san.

Jino: We know those two since we are students from the same God eternity school. We're requested to do the role of tour guides. Well, as you see, those two's shyness is strong.

Nico: Uncle Jino, that person is Cybuster's pilot?

Jino: Yeah, right. He is Masaki.

Masaki: Nice to meet you. Er... Nico?

Nico: Eh? Ah, yeah.

Roselie: Eh? Masaki, can you tell them apart?

Masaki: Well, because I've fought them. Somehow I can tell who’s who.

Roselie: Impossible!? Even we can't recognize them. You REALLY can?

Masaki: What is that suspicion?

Roselie: Wait a bit. Nico-chan, Rico-chan, let’s test him.

Nico: Um.

Rico: Understood.

????: …

Roselie: Well, who’s this?

Masaki: Rico.

Rico: ...Correct.

Roselie: Uwah! You replied at once! You really know.

Masaki: That's why, I said so right?

Nico: ...You're amazing, Brother.

Rico: Yeah. Even uncle Leffen often makes mistakes.

Jino: Masaki, how did you distinguish them?

Masaki: Ah, how should I say, the feeling of their prana is different, but just a little.

Jino: Oh... You can see through the prana of those two?

Masaki: No, it doesn't mean I can see clearly. Just feel, somehow.

Jino: Even that is amazing. To perceive prana is a master skill. Before I knew it your skill increased considerably.

Nico: I see... You know us.

Rico: Amazing.

Masaki: Hey hey, what, you two?

Roselie: Oh my god, you were attached very much.

Nico: It has been a long time since Teacher. We met another person who can tell us apart.

Rico: Ehehe…

Masaki: H-hey! Don't coil around! You two are acting like puppies!

Wendy: Ah, Masaki. Well…Eh? Sandriv sisters? Masaki: Ah, oh. Wendy. You need something from me? Hey, stay away from me, you two!

Rico: Ehehe~, Brother, who am I?

Masaki: Rico. That's enough. Stay away from me.

Wendy: Brother... What does that mean?

Masaki: Doesn’t mean a thing, just because I could distinguish the twins, I particularly…

Wendy: ...Good grief, it can't be helped. Hey you two, Masaki is in trouble. Such a matter…

Nico: Just a bit more! Hey, who am I?

Masaki: That's why, Nico. Stop here. Since Wendy has worked for me.

Rico: ...Urgent business? Old lady.

Wendy: O... Old lady?

Nico: Old lady, can you give us a little more time?

Wendy: ...Ugh.

Masaki: H-hey! Don't call Wendy an old lady.

Jino: To them, a person who is more than 20 year old is categorized as an old man or old lady. Even I was called uncle.

Wendy: …

Masaki: Ah!? T, that is…

Wendy: ...Oh, old lady? Good. The two childs. I'll give you a good thing.

Masaki: T-that tone is Tuddy, hey!?

Nico: What good thing?

Rico: ...Give me.

Wendy: Fufufu... The cookies I just baked. Well, eat as much as you want.

Nico: Wow, thank you.

Rico: ...Thank you.

Prescia: Wait!! You mustn't!!

Masaki: Uwah!? W-what!? What's wrong, Prescia, suddenly!?

Prescia: I ate that cookie... Ah…

Nico: *Squeak*

Rico: *Nibble*

Prescia: Ah... Too late…

Masaki: W-what? Something wrong with the cookie?

Prescia: Good grief, Wendy-san! I said you mustn't hand over without sampling them right!

Wendy: E? O, oh... Now, I... Could it be?

Prescia: You two alright?

Nico: ? Delicious.

Rico: Yeah, very yummy.

Prescia: Eh? T-that?

Jino: Eh? What? Something wrong with the cookie?

Prescia: A, er, the truth is there is a bit of problem with Wendy-san's handmade cookie.

Guido: I won't pass them up when I hear it is Wendy's handmade cookie.

Masaki: Ouh!? From where did you appear!?

Guido: Wendy, the Sandriv sisters are eating your handmade cookies?

Wendy: Y-yeah... But…

Guido: Sorry but you two, could you share just a little of that cookie?

Nico: ...Who?

Rico: …

Guido: Ah, sorry. It is late but let me introduce myself. I'm Guido Seehofer, the pilot of Dinflair.

Nico: …

Guido: You don't have to be that wary, young ladies. Less than 17 year old is out of my range.

Roselie: Well, you are the opposite of Jino-san.

Jino: I take offense.

Rico: ...If you're Ok with Wendy, I'll give you.

Jino: You're standing behind these cookies?

Wendy: Yeah. I don't mind since there is still more left.

Nico: ...Then, I give you this.

Guido: Oo, thank you. Then I'll receive it. Fumu... Mu...T... This is…

Wendy: Er, it doesn't suit your taste?

Guido: N, no, er... The sweetness is slightly er…

Rico: ...Yes, this also.

Guido: Muuh!! In for a penny, in for a pound. Munh...Gu...Ka... Ka...Spicy!!

Prescia: ...As I thought it is a failed recipe.

Rico: ...Although it is spicy and delicious.

Nico: Mine is sweet and delicious.

Roselie: You two, what do you eat usually?

Masaki: ...Prescia. Wendy isn't good at cooking?

Prescia: ...Rather than unskillful, at the very end, she said something about originality and put in things that mustn't be put in. She seems to be affected by Xenia-sama.

Masaki: Xenia's? I should be careful with that. 

#Scene 401#

Xenia: Yes, because I'll arrange the information that we gathered so far, listen carefully. Especially Masaki.

Masaki: Listen carefully?

Xenia: What, you aren’t your normal self. You eat something strange?

Masaki: Shut up.

Wagener: Xenia, don't stray off the subject. Please explain.

Xenia: Ah, right right. Well, the movement of the north is strange.

Wagener: What is strange?

Xenia: Um, the mobilization record is biased.

Wagener: Could you project on the holo?

Xenia: Fang, please.

Fang: Roger.

Guido: I see. Certainly only one side doesn't have sufficient troops.

Xenia: See. But well, judging from the arrangement of the gate of the north, being like this isn't unnatural.

Guido: But, I'm sure there is a possibility they'll revise.

Xenia: I know. Especially I heard lieutenant colonel Akraid related to the mobilization plan this time…

Masaki: Lieutenant colonel? Since when was that guy promoted?

Xenia: Just the day before yesterday. Immediately after the breakdown of peace negotiations.

Masaki: Even though it is not the case that they praise his achievements?

Xenia: Not really. Because he related to various tactical schemes. Have you forgotten? The battle which the army of the south was annihilated the other day?

Masaki: Yeah, because of that the peace negotiation began. You said the one set up that tactic is Akraid.

Xenia: Yeah, right. I heard he wrote down the very detailed gist and the situation advanced just like that.

Guido: ...As expected the main person that requires watching.

Xenia: Yeah, we can say his ability as a strategist is genius.

Guido: Oh dear, the feeling of when Clausewitz turned against Napoleon.

Mio: You must have great confidence to compare yourself with Clausewitz?

Guido: Well, I'm bragging about my own ability.

Xenia: Let's target back on track. I can only think the mobilization plan of the north created a gap on purpose.

Tyutti: In other words, you view their tactic as a leading trap against the south?

Xenia: I guess that's it. However, I'm not sure if the General Staff HQ of the south noticed this...

Guido: Even if they noticed, as a strategy staff officer he is carried away by the impulse to want to bet on catching someone off guard.

Xenia: A double-edged sword. It seems like picking a fight by comparing wisdom.

Masaki: After all, you mean there is a high chance the south will move?

Xenia: Correct. Moreover if they move, they will head to this point, as I pointed out before.

Masaki: Then, if we head there first, we can check the movement of the south?

Guido: By the occasion now it is so but, still that doesn't mean the correct answer.

Masaki: Why?

Guido: This is no more than our intuition. The south has a strategist in its own way. If we suppose that they move... they'll split their force into two groups and thrust through that point.

Xenia: Eh? But because they're gathering their war potential, it can’t be that simple.

Guido: Of course, it isn't simple. But, if they can omit this place, they can penetrate the encirclement some time ago.

Xenia: That's true but... I wonder if things will go according to theory?

Guido: Please think of the war potential of the south as 1.2 times the present. Moreover, if they split the main force here…

Xenia: I didn't think the south has that much war potential…Ah, the Maltena company!?

Guido: Right. They use the Maltena company.

Xenia: Certainly if they do that they can win but…

Guido: Well, I fear even if they win their finances are tight. They can't count on anything besides the revenue of the north.

Xenia: Isn't that tactic too absurd?

Guido: Well, but it is the problem of likelihood. I won't do that but…

Fang: There is urgent transmission from Rodney, Xenia-sama.

Xenia: Urgent transmission? Connect.

Rodney: Hi, it has been a long time.

Masaki: Yeah, it is best that you're healthy. So, by urgent, did something happen?

Rodney: The south moved.

Yanglong: They attacked you? The place?

Rodney: Ramsphere. The scale is one battalion of Masouki.

Xenia: Ramsphere…

Guido: Oh dear, there was an unthinkable gambler in the south.

Masaki: The place we talked before?

Rodney: What, you guys knew it?

Wagener: No, we only took that possibility into consideration.

Rodney: Possibility... Barom has said the same thing.

Guido: Barom... Akraid Barom? Then, that guy took this matter into consideration?

Rodney: No, rather than consider, he said it is a serious affair if they attack that place and laugh.

Guido: ...Which one? Prepare or not prepare?

Rodney: Thus far is a military secret. I don't understand. And, even if I do I won't tell you.

Guido: That's bad... If your side doesn't prepare... the front line of the north will completely collapse.

Simone: Then how about forming an ally with the south, and help them unify by the means of the south?

Masaki: Even if the north might set up a trap, the one that started the fight is the south. It is not our style forming ally with the attacking side.

Yanglong: Hmph... Rodney, the north only counterattack right?

Rodney: Yeah, right. We won't let our army invade the south's territory.

Masaki: Then, it is decided. We must wipe the invasion troop of the south.

Tyutti: Like Masaki said. We aren't related to the matter of both sides. It is simple: defeat the side that started the fight.

Yanglong: Yeah, right.

Wagener: What do you think, Mio?

Mio: I also concur.

Wagener: Then, to stop the invasion tactic of the south, let's head to Ramsphere. 

---------------------------------
Stage 29: The battle at Ramsphere
---------------------------------

#Scene 402 (Map)#

Riciel: How dare you... I can't believe you really attacked this place…

Leffen: The situation is decided. If we can break here, the north is hopeless.

Riciel: Exactly as that man stated... It can't be helped, retreat!

Zamboss: The army of the north retreated!

Leffen: By this we sealed the plan of lieutenant colonel Barom. Complete the encirclement. It is our army's victory.

Rico: Is that Ok?

Leffen: Even the schemer Barom isn't almighty. If we gather the war potential and penetrate one point we'll see our chance of winning.

Rico: ...Yes.

Zamboss: Don't worry, first lieutenant Sandriv. Your sister doesn't participate in this front line.

Rico: Really, lieutenant colonel Nasel?

Zamboss: I can easily collect the information to such extent. But, the problem is…

Leffen: They came.

Rico: Antilles Corp…

Masaki: Stop here! Antilles Corp will stop this invasion here!

Leffen: That is a path I can't follow, Masaki-dono!

Masaki: General Dastrasch... You're the commander?

Leffen: This tactic carries the rise and fall of the south. We can't throw it away immediately.

Masaki: I'm sure you know our real ability! Stop the useless fight!

Leffen: Unfortunately, I'm not a politician. I only follow orders.

Masaki: Good grief, every last one of them...

Ryune: Uncle, you are a general right! You can't do something with your discretion?

Leffen: It's too bad. But, I don't plan to tackle a reckless fight. We've a chance of victory.

Masaki: Damn... It’s unavoidable.

Wagener: I permit Antilles Corp's forcible execution. 

*Leffen defeated*

Leffen: Well, let's see who is the one who falls into the trap... I'll retreat for the present. 

*Zamboss defeated*

Zamboss: Damn, why those guys stand in our way 24/7... Escape! 

*Rico defeated*

Rico: This far? Escape! 

*Leo defeated*

Leo: We're defeated even by this much war potential? Escape! 

[Masaki vs Rico]

Rico: Brother Masaki... even though we took the trouble to become good friends…

Masaki: Yeah, right. We must end this war quickly! 

[Roselie vs Rico]

Roselie: Rico-chan, I can't go easy on you!

Rico: I know! You also don't hurt yourself, Roselie-chan! 

[Jino vs Leffen]

Leffen: Major Valencia, I can't believe I actually fight you.

Jino: Yeah, too bad. But, let's fight so that both of us won't pollute the name of constancy eternity style!

Leffen: Um, that's what I think from the beginning. 

[Jino vs Rico]

Jino: I can't believe I have to fight you, after Nico…

Rico: Uncle Jino…

But, since we met on the battlefield, we can't avoid fighting!

Jino: Yeah, right... 

*Turn 7 player phrase or battle ends*

Bradroy: Muh!? What's wrong!?

Charian: Coret, report.

Coret: There is an enemy command of retreat!

Masaki: What? What does it mean, this suddenly?

Akraid: Ah, let me explain it.

Bradroy: Lieutenant colonel Barom!

Akraid: Anyway, there are no more enemies. Can I enter inside your ship? It isn't worth drinking tea here.

Bradroy: ...Representative, you don't mind?

Wagener: Yeah, let's hear his story.

  1. Scene 403#

Wagener: Welcome to Hringhorni, lieutenant colonel Akraid Barom.

Akraid: Ah, thank you. This is the guest room? It is very big.

Demeksa: Here, some tea.

Akraid: Ah, thank you. Oh, uncommon tea.

Demeksa: It is from Japan.

Akraid: Ah, I've heard about it. What, this is…Oh, this is delicious.

Masaki: So, what kind of trick did you use?

Akraid: Trick is exaggerated. I just cut off the enemy's retreat road. It is a normal strategy.

Guido: ...You say it's simple but, to operate the army and do that is very difficult.

Akraid: Luckily, I have superior underlings. They saved me, really.

Xenia: ...How far did you read?

Akraid: Well... I was hoping for your movement.

Fang: Xenia-sama! See this!

Xenia: Eh? What? Hey... This is a devastating blow to the army of the south?

Guido: I've examined before the battle. That spot... The south army that invaded the territory which the defense of the north is thin was surrounded and annihilated.

Xenia: General Dastrasch must have known the encirclement... Even so, why was he outsmarted?

Akraid: The back of the back is the surface. If you think too much you'll be in the dead-end.

Xenia: Even so... It is generally impossible to cut off the retreat road of the opponent who is aware of the trap.

Akraid: You mustn't cut all the retreat paths. The army that lost the retreat road is unexpectedly stubborn.

Yanglong: Be sure to open a gap in the encirclement, must not force the cornered enemy.

Akraid: That proverb of the surface? You hit a sharp point.

Masaki: ? What does that mean?

Yanglong: The word of Sun Tzu. When you surround the enemy, you must make an escape road. You mustn't attack the enemy that was driven to the wall.

Masaki: Ah, a cornered rat will bite a cat.

Akraid: Right. When a person thinks that there is a way to survive, no matter who he is completely relieved.

Guido: But, I could only think it is like the battle of Cannae if you splendidly surrounded and destroyed the enemy to that extent.

Akraid: By chance. It went well thanks to your intervention. We were saved, thank you. Masaki: There is no reason to thank us. We did what we thought was best.

Akraid: Um, I know that. But, it is natural to thank you since this outcome was influenced by your help.

Masaki: ...Then, inform us. What does the north plan to do after this?

Akraid: Well, I'm not in the position that can propose policy and I don't have the right to decide. I can't say exact things.

Masaki: Then, your best forecast?

Akraid: Well, this is my personal forecast only. Will you listen?

Masaki: Yeah.

Akraid: I think the north won't make its movement for a while. Because the government now doesn't have the decisiveness.

Masaki: How long is for a while?

Akraid: Well... I think about one month.

Masaki: I see... That much?

Akraid: On top of that, I think you should worry about the south.

Masaki: The south? They can still do something despite receiving that much damage?

Akraid: But, the Maltena company is attached there right? What do you think that company will do if they offer them profit?

Masaki: Really, Xenia?

Xenia: Certainly... Now that you mention it, the Maltena company suffers big losses at this rate. They'll use that line if they do something…

Akraid: More or less, from the experience of our north army that did business with them in the past, I would say they're dirty.

Xenia: Maltena company... I don't have much information about them since their guard is very solid.

Akraid: Anyway, because of such things, I don't think we'll fight each other for a while.

Guido: That is best.

Akraid: Indeed. Then, allow me to return to my army. Work has piled up on me. 

#Scene 404#

Mio: That person called Akraid, even though he plays dumb he is skillful.

Guido: No one wants to become his opponent.

Becky: After all it seems we're dancing on his palm.

Yanglong: There is no need to be that disappointed. At least, we prevented the morass of the war between north and south.

Tyutti: We only do what we can do.

Masaki: Yeah, right. 

#Scene 405#

Masaki: Whew, this set is finished. I gotta drink some fruit milk.

Ryune: Ah, wait, Masaki. I'm almost finished too.

Masaki: Ah, Ok.

Wendy: Oh, you two. The training already ended?

Masaki: Oh, Wendy. This is rare. You came to train?

Wendy: Y-yeah... I want to exercise my body a bit…

Ryune: Which reminds me... Wendy-san... Recently you secluded yourself…

Wendy: Since there is a lot of adjustment and construction for the new Masouki, my job is packed.

Masaki: Don't push yourself too much.

Ryune: Right right... That is only destroying the body and you get nothing out of it…

Wendy: Yeah. By the way, Ryune, is that a good exercise?

Ryune: That is... Well, I'm finished with this!

Wendy: I also want to have a try…

Masaki: Ah, if you want to do we've to adjust the load. If it is you, Wendy, probably you can't move them at all.

Wendy: It is that heavy?

Masaki: Some time ago Fang overdid it and dislocated his arm.

Ryune: It isn't necessary for you to force yourself Wendy-san. Because I'll adjust it so that it is light.

Wendy: Er... Specifically I want to burn about 600 kilocalorie…

Ryune: Ah... that is reasonable momentum. But why such a specific value?

Wendy: I accidentally ate the snack Tyutti made…

Masaki: Uwah... That is again, absurd.

Wendy: Because, Tsrein recommended it. I didn't know it was Tyutti's handmade…

Ryune: By the way, what kind of snack was it?

Wendy: One cookie.

Masaki: 600 kilocalorie by one cookie!? That is a big meal...No, a senseless meal.

Wendy: Because it is sweeter than I thought, such a number appeared when I measured by the calorie calculator.

Ryune: Well, well, are you Ok always use your head like that, Wendy-san?

Wendy: I hope so…

Ryune: Yes, the adjustment is finished. Have a try.

Wendy: Er... Like this? Hmm!

Masaki: ...It’s not budging.

Ryune: Even though I lowered the load a lot... Then, how about this much?

Wendy: Hmm!!...Buhaah! I can't, it doesn't move…

Ryune: It is hard for me to say but... This is the lightest load.

Masaki: ...Wendy, don't overdo it and try the treadmill.

Wendy: ...I'll do that. 

#Scene 406#

Wagener: Because I heard there is a threatening movement in Langran, I think the Antilles Corp should return to Langran once.

Jino: The information from Xenia?

Wagener: Yes, it seems the Dawn Brigade is moving.

Mio: That idiot and his companions are still acting.

Guido: It is still vague what they are after but, we can't let them do what they like. It is necessary to investigate the situation. And…

Mio: There is still something beside that?

Guido: It seems Xenia-sama plans to open the 2nd Antilles shop. We have to prepare for that reason.

Ryune: To earn profit, huh?

Masaki: ...We are nothing but the ones who feed that shop?

Ryune: What are you saying? By the means of business there is no difference between high and low. We've to value the source of funds.

Masaki: Well, that's true but…

Guido: Moreover, that shop is useful to collect information.

Tyutti: Oh, really?

Guido: Yeah, the shop assistants are collecting various gossips in the town. That is very helpful.

Mio: The greatness called word of mouth huh?

Guido: However, recently some vicious business disturbances have been reported. That is also one of the investigation objectives.

Ryune: How terrible of them standing in the way of our business affair!

Masaki: Ryune, you support that shop desperately?

Mio: Ryune-san seems to be pleased with the maid uniform at that time.

Ryune: That is because Masaki's reaction was very good.

Mio: Masaki is maid-moe?

Masaki: Don't talk stupid and prepare. Soon we'll depart for Langran.

Mio: Yes. 

#Scene 407#

Holy: The elemental radar responses! Several Masouki!

Bradroy: And the place?

Holy: The direction of 12 o'clock, distance 10 sech gots!

Tyutti: That is near our shop right?

Xenia: That's bad! Hurry! 

------------------------------------
Stage 30: The wriggling of the night
------------------------------------

#Scene 408 (Map)#

Znero: Boss! Something is coming.

Eric: Something?

Mio: Defeat evil by the anger of fist until the end of the wide galaxy! Build the rainbow between me and the enemy, yes, clean the mud of this world, when I heard the call, I instantly appeared!

Masaki: ...You set up that line terribly!

Eric: Damn, it is them again!

Mio: Idiot detected.

Eric: Hmm, say whatever you want. I realized something.

Mio: Hohoo, what? Say it.

Eric: In this world full of smart persons, daring to become an idiot is also one of the chosen paths! (lol!)

Mio: Oh! The Age of the True Idiot!

Eric: Stop it, I'm embarrassed.

Mio: The Sparking Real Idiot!

Eric: No no, not really.

Subordinate: Hey! The real Mio-chan! I can't believe I met the real person...I'm glad that I joined this group...

Subordinate: What, you're Mio's fan? You're a maniac.

Subordinate: Shut up! Then you're a fan of whom?

Subordinate: It is obviously Tyutti-sama's right?

Subordinate: Reckless…

Subordinate: You two don't understand. Xenia-sama is the best. Yeah, being ordered by Xenia-sama…

Subordinate: Pervert. Prescia-chan is supreme!

Subordinate: ...It is you who is a pervert.

Subordinate: Right right. It is Ryune-chan first when it comes to order. Yeah, being struck and…

Subordinate: Perverts.

Subordinate: I can't forgive all of you to forget Wendy-sama.

Subordinate: Go to hell with mature women.

Subordinate: All of you are idiots. The newcomer Mefil-chan is justice! That nature is elegance!

Subordinate: That girl represents too many characters right? In that aspect, the goddess Becky-sama who holds alcohol gives us pleasant experience!

Subordinate: Mine is Roselie-chan after all. I can't bear that countryside-ish! She makes me remember my student days.

Subordinate: Hey hey, you forgot one person. The vice captain Charian-chan! The gap-moe!

Masaki: ...What's with those guys?

Tyutti: They speak without reservation.

Simone: ...How dare you omit me!! I won't forgive you!

(If you passed through stage 48 rather than stage 26, these lines MIGHT be different. But sorry, I can't replay all the way to the beginning to check that out) 

[Masaki vs Eric]

Masaki: You guys aim for Antilles shop!?

Eric: Eh? Oh, was it? Well, whatever is Ok.

Masaki: What... Have you forgotten?

Eric: It is enough for me to fight you!! 

[Tyutti vs Subordinate]

Subordinate: Yeah, Tyutti-sama... By this I don't have anything to regret at all…

Tyutti: Hey, what does that mean? 

[Mio vs Subordinate]

Subordinate: MMMM, Mio-chan! Please sign!

Mio: ...You're really my fan? You're considerably manic. Too bad, I'm not an entertainer. Well, transmit to your descendants that you're beaten by me.

Subordinate: Ah... That is too much. My house will probably end by me. 

[Ryune vs Subordinate]

Subordinate: Ryune-sama! Please feel free to order me around!

Ryune: Then, quickly go home.

Subordinate: If I do such a thing, I'll be hit by Leader.

Ryune: Then, you say you want to get hit by me?

Subordinate: That is my reward!

Ryune: Uwah, it is difficult to do! 

[Xenia vs Subordinate]

Subordinate: Xe, XeXeXe, Xenia-sama!

Xenia: Uwa, hey!? It is extremely hard to do! 

[Prescia vs Subordinate]

Subordinate: It is Prescia-chan! Prescia-chan!

Prescia: E, er... If you overdo, the scary people will come? 

[Simone vs Subordinate]

Simone: You guys... already prepared right!

Subordinate: Oh...If I watch closely, Simone is also very…

Simone: E? R, really?

Subordinate: Can I call you S-Simone-sama?

Simone: As I thought it is no good! These guys are disgusting! 

[Becky vs Subordinate]

Subordinate: Becky-sama! Because I'll give you alcohol, please have a drink!

Becky: Alcohol? Serious? ...Oh! It was a close shot. I won't be taken in! 

[Roselie vs Subordinate]

Subordinate: Roselie-chan! Please speak dialect! The dialect of my countryside!

Roselie: Dialect, dialect, you make fun of me?

Subordinate: Ah... Right... I miss it. 

[Mefil vs Subordinate]

Subordinate: Mefil-chan, moe!

Mefil: Haa... Er, is it Ok showing a gap?

Subordinate: Please come wherever it is from!

Mefil: Yes, then I won't hold back.

  1. Scene 409#

Masaki: ...Perhaps, that shop has had strange effects in strange directions?

Xenia: W-what are you saying! S-such things are the exception within exceptions!

Fang: According to the report of the shop assistants, the one doing the harassment seems to be the guys from the Dawn Brigade.

Xenia: Those people... what are they thinking?

Guido: They must have some kind of ulterior motive. They don't gain anything for crushing our source of funds on purpose.

Masaki: Because they're just a bunch of idiots, it is only harassment right?

Mio: I'm not really happy but there seems to be lots of fans among them. I hardly believe such guys willingly harass us.

Masaki: Someone hired them?

Guido: The Masoukis they used are from Ariel kingdom. If that's the case, the suspicion is…

Masaki: Ariel kingdom? No, they can't do it.

Guido: Right, it can't be Ariel kingdom. I fear the Maltena company is taking part in it.

Masaki: Maltena company? Why do they want to interrupt our business?

Guido: I still don't understand the correct answer but, look like the management of the present Maltena company is promoting armed intervention assertively. If that's the case, we who prevent disputes are the natural enemy to them.

Masaki: Because of that, they intend to smash the shop? How small-minded.

Guido: But it is effective. Now, the sales of the shop falls rapidly.

Masaki: ...We rely that much on that shop?

Xenia: It makes up 20 percent of our income. We can't make light of it.

Masaki: ...Serious?

Guido: Cut off the income first is the private company-like idea. I’ll use the connection from Ahmed and investigate the Maltena company. We'll understand a bit more details a short time later. 

#Scene 410#

Ryune: Aah... This much?

Sato: Right. Lately, harassment has been effective.

Ryune: To make the matter worse, if there is uproar like today's, the ruin of our image will come much sooner.

Roselie: Hey, hey, what are you two talking about?

Ryune: The Antilles shop. You know right?

Roselie: A, ah! Amazing~, I can't believe even I have merch there. By the way, how is the sale of my goods?

Ryune: Um, so so... On top of that, the problem is, the sale as a whole decreases.

Roselie: Eh? We didn't yield profit?

Ryune: It was wonderful until a little while ago but, because of the harassment…

Roselie: Ah, you mean the ruin of our image because of the disturbance today?

Sato: To make matters worse, there are complaints coming from nearby. People said the shop that becomes the target of terrorist is a neighborhood nuisance.

Roselie: Ah... That's severe.

Sato: Even though until recently, they're happy to play a role in the invigoration of the shopping district.

Roselie: Then, as I thought we'll visit and apologize politely to our neighbors.

Ryune: Apologize... Like bringing a box of cakes?

Roselie: Yeah, right. Association is important.

Sato: Right. We'll find a group who has spare time and make them go around the neighborhood. 

#Scene 411#

Roselie: ...Well, because of that, Masaki and I were selected.

Masaki: ...You people think I'm that leisurely of a guy?

Roselie: What. Then, you're really busy?

Masaki: Uh... N-no... It doesn't mean I'm busy but…

Roselie: Moreover, because Masaki is very famous, the neighborhoods won't stay cautious.

Masaki: That's Ok but... They demanded my autograph some time ago.

Roselie: You should have done as they wished.

Masaki: Nonsense. I'm not an entertainer.

Roselie: But I think at the time the goods are selling, you're half-involved.

Masaki: Good grief... How many cases were left?

Roselie: Well, 5.

Masaki: Still that much left?

Roselie: You are the one holding gifts right? You don't understand by looking?

Masaki: Yeah, true. There are five. By the way, what is inside this?

Roselie: Assortment of towels.

Masaki: What cheap gifts.

Roselie: Not cheap. Because it is a quality product of Antilles shop.

Masaki: What!? Don't tell me the goods are... Er, the one you attached portraits of me, Xenia, etc...!?

Roselie: That's right. Because it is service time, not only all members of Masouki pilots, even Wendy is in there.

Masaki: All pilots... Well... Hey, that even includes Gennadii and Demeksa?

Roselie: Of course. Myself, Ryune-san, Gaen-san also included.

Masaki: ...I took all the trouble to deliver such a shameful thing?

Roselie: What are you saying? Although it is a portrait, it is the degree of a single point right?

Masaki: I can't do this. Within me, I have to appear because of the wedding ceremony, as much as the illustrated plate of newly married couples is a shame…

Roselie: ...That is certainly troublesome to serve…However, because this is a practical towel, there is no family to ignore it.

Masaki: Well, it is probably so but…

Roselie: Yes, stop complaining and let's quickly deliver them!

Masaki: Alright. ... Masaki: ...We finished at last.

Roselie: Thank you for your hard work.

Masaki: I shouldn't ask what's inside. Nothing is more shameful than knowing what I just handed to them.

Roselie: Quit complaining. By the way, can I ask you one thing?

Masaki: Eh? What?

Roselie: Wagener-san is single, right?

Masaki: What? Why do you ask me such a thing?

Roselie: Because, it is hard to ask the real person directly…

Masaki: What is hard? Just so you know, I don't know the details. But, if he is married, he should be together with his family in the Antilles Corp right?

Roselie: Ah, I see... Such mechanism? So, he is single. Hey, hey, do you know anything else about him?

Masaki: I said before right? I don't know much details.

Roselie: Good grief, you're together with him for a very long time right? You don't even know a bit?

Masaki: Even if you said so... In short, why do you care about such things?

Roselie: Isn't it obvious? Because I care.

Masaki: You care about the Representative? Despite his look, I heard he is already 39 year old.

Roselie: What, you know his age. 39 year old is the prime of manhood so it doesn't matter right?

Masaki: ...You like older men? Ah, now you mention it, old man Shumel was also approximately that old.

Roselie: I didn’t say he could replace my teacher. Incidentally, it isn't even father complex.

Masaki: No one said that. I don't understand those sorts of tastes well.

Roselie: Moreover to say that a beard is sexy and beautiful…

Masaki: ...You have a beard fetish? 

#Scene 412#

Guido: How was it?

Xenia: Well, they have definitely moved.

Guido: As I thought…

Xenia: But, this code... If it changes frequently like this, the deciphering can't catch up.

Masaki: Yo, thank you for your hard work, you two. Have a cup of tea.

Xenia: T-thank you, Masaki. You're so thoughtful.

Masaki: So, how did it go?

Xenia: We caught the movement of the south.

Masaki: It links to the Maltena company?

Xenia: I don't have positive proof but, probably.

Masaki: The north isn’t involved right? If we're deceived by Akraid black and blue thus far...

Guido: If normally.

Masaki: Could it be, they moved?

Guido: No, we only take one of the possibilities into consideration. The possibility of strategy in all cases can be broadened. To assume is dangerous. To be surprised attacked is a strategist's disgrace.

Masaki: Hmm, so that's it? Then, let me hear your opinion as a strategist, Guido. If you're the south's strategist, how will you move your army?

Guido: The consistency and profit of Maltena company is the invasion of Ariel kingdom.

Masaki: What? Wait, why did the story become the invasion of Ariel kingdom?

Guido: Um, the surprise attack there would be surprising.

Masaki: ...What, you're joking?

Guido: I'm weak at jokes. I'm serious.

Masaki: Is it true the south will invade Ariel kingdom?

Guido: You can't exclude it as a possibility. Ariel kingdom is only next to Langran in rank in developing Masouki. If they steal that infrastructure, the war potential of the south will strengthen in one move.

Masaki: But, the south buys Masouki from Ariel kingdom right? Yuno has said: the country that uses the Masouki from Ariel kingdom won't attack them.

Guido: They cover that with a blitzkrieg. If they capture the industrial area at once, no matter how much they lack supporters, they will be able to get that through. However, the one incharge of strategy of the south is general Dastrasch. Judging from his character, he won't do such an excessive thing. Moreover, the prediction of profit is hard. The technique level of that country is charming but, I'm sure it can't make enemies with the international community.

Masaki: I'm thinking of the worst case. Shall we warn Ariel kingdom?

Guido: It is good to warn them but, 8 or 9 cases out of ten, they will ignore. That is the current status of that country now.

Xenia: You understood by the call some time ago right? Now the top priority of that place is disarmament desperately.

Masaki: Damn... Only we can do something.

Guido: We still don't have enough information to guarantee the prediction. I'm sorry but we need more time. Wait for our news.

Masaki: Roger. 

#Scene 413#

Xenia: Phew~...

Becky: Oh, Xenia. You're going to eat at this time?

Xenia: I have some free time. Ah, I'm hungry. I should eat something.

Fang: Xenia-sama! We're in trouble!

Xenia: Hey, I've said that the member of the intelligence division can't let himself panic right? In any situation, if you can't always keep calm and cool, you won't be fit as a spy.

Fang: Hah... R, right. Xenia-sama, a slight problem has occurred.

Xenia: Um um, that’s better. So, what problem?

Fang: The south union began to move.

Xenia: Eeh!? That is important! This is not the time to be calm! Sound the emergency alert! Gather all the members at the briefing room at once!!

Fang: Y-yes! 

#Scene 414#

Wagener: ...Like above, no doubt that the south gathers their war potential at the coastline.

Masaki: So it is the Ariel kingdom's invasion tactic that Guido said?

Guido: Yeah, I fear so.

Xenia: Even general Dastrasch chose a dangerous method.

Masaki: Leave the investigation for later. If the south's movement is true, we must stop them.

Yanglong: Right. But how will the south invade Ariel kingdom? Sea? Air?

Guido: Probably... In the sea.

Mio: Eh? They can walk inside the sea?

Guido: That is hardest to detect.

Jino: I see... Certainly that is the blind spot. I haven't heard of Masouki walking through the bottom of the ocean by Masouki and invading.

Guido: Do things unexpectedly is the origin of tactics. Hannibal's crossing of the Alps, the quickly and easily Narimasa Sassa's crossing.

Mio: Both Sassa Narimasa or Hannibal failed, right?

Guido: It is certain that they use complicated tactics. We actually caught that information.

Xenia: This is my prediction of the route they'll take analyzing from the terrain of the marking ocean. We'll ambush enemies at this location.

Bradroy: We'll enter the sea by Hringhorni?

Xenia: The terrain is just right for hiding. Let's use that.

Bradroy: Ah... My ship turns will smell the seashore.

Wagener: Then, everyone will stand by until the time the tactic starts.

Hringhorni will move through the high sea at cruise speed until it reaches the predicted encounter location. 

#Scene 415#

Demeksa: Hmm hmm h~mm.

Mio: ...Demeksa-san is tone deaf.

Demeksa: Ah, sorry. It is offensive to you?

Mio: No, it's no big deal but... That is a fishing rod?

Demeksa: Yeah, right. I have to repair it properly. It is a big regret if I can't go fishing at the time we go to the long-awaited ocean.

Mio: Is it a good rod?

Demeksa: Well, in its own way. Since it is handmade. But, I want to buy a new rod soon.

Mio: Ah, the hologram fell.

Demeksa: Ah, sorry.

Mio: Eh? This is... The hologram of Holy-san.

Demeksa: Y-yeah.

Mio: Oh dear~? Demeksa-san is not to be underestimated. When did you buy it?

Demeksa: Ah, no, I received it directly from her.

Mio: Oh, you’re already that close?

Demeksa: Ah... The truth is there is a secret I'd like you to keep for me. I'm thinking of a proposal after this mission is done.

Mio: What! That is a death flag!

Demeksa: Eh? What do you mean?

Gojo: Master, that reference isn't popular with Ethiopia people.

Mio: ...Let it pass. Don't push it too far, sincerely.

Demeksa: Yeah, I know.

Mio: By the way, is there a chance of success?

Demeksa: This mission?

Mio: Wrong, wrong! The proposal!

Demeksa: Well... Probably.

Mio: I see. I hope it goes well.

Demeksa: Thank you.

Charian: We'll reach the operation's location soon. All members, prepare to sortie. 

-------------------------------------------
Stage 31: The naval battle at Iknar channel
-------------------------------------------

#Scene 416 (Map)#

Masaki: They really came, Xenia?

Xenia: What, you doubt my intelligence network?

Masaki: But, it is time right? I worry since the elemental radar doesn't detect anything at all.

Xenia: What are you saying? Submerged in water the elemental radar is almost useless.

Masaki: Really?

Mio: !! They came!!

Leffen: Antilles Corp!? It can't be... How on did they…

Zamboss: General! We must quickly reorganize the battle formation!

Leffen: ...No, we don't have that much time. Crush the enemy by the one on one!

Rico: Roger.

Wagener: I allow Antilles Corp's forcible execution. 

*Rico defeated*

Rico: ...As expected of Antilles Corp. Retreat! 

*Leo defeated*

Leo: As I thought Antilles Corp is strong... Retreat! 

*Zamboss defeated*

Zamboss: Shit! even though we've reached this far! Retreat! 

*Leffen defeated or 4 enemies left*

Leffen: Shit, so this is how far we can make. All members, retreat! 

[Masaki vs Zamboss]

Zamboss: I'm tired of seeing your face, Masaki Andoh!

Masaki: You've my sympathy! 

[Masaki vs Leffen]

Leffen: I can't believe you see through our tactic.

Masaki: If you know that, dismiss your force!

Leffen: I need instruction for even that! 

[Masaki vs Rico]

Rico: ...We ended up fighting each other again, brother Masaki.

Masaki: Yeah... I'm very sorry. 

[Guido vs Leffen]

Guido: You choose a drastic tactic by rushing inside the sea.

Leffen: I see... It is you, Seehofer-kun.

Guido: But I don't have confidence like Akraid.

Leffen: I didn't expect there to be a superior staff officer in Antilles Corp. I misread you. 

*Battle ends*

Masaki: Damn, there is still reinforcement!

Omgared: Wait, I didn't come to fight. The tactic this time isn't the consensus of the south. First lay down your armament.

Masaki: You are... Omgared!? What is a terrorist doing here?

Omgared: ...Who are you talking about?

Masaki: Of course, you!

Omgared: I'm the presidential aid of the south, Omgared Kireshina. Be careful what you say.

Masaki: The south's presidential aid... you say?

Omgared: I even have identification papers. You can confirm by monitor right?

Wendy: ...We can't tell it is real solely by image.

Omgared: What distrustful people. If you disbelieve me that much, I want a direct embark on your ship. I also have the handwritten letter from Mr.president.

Ryune: What does this mean...? Why is Omgared the south…

Masaki: ...Good then. Come to our ship. But, a body check is required.

Omgared: Do what you like. 

#Scene 417#

Omgared: I've fought you many times but, I never thought I’d be invited to your ship like this.

Masaki: Let me see the document.

Omgared: Don't rush, I'll pass it properly to you. Here.

Masaki: Wendy, what do you think?

Wendy: ...It is real. There is even a signature from the president.

Masaki: And the ID?

Wendy: That is also the real thing.

Omgared: Like I said right? It isn't nice to doubt people.

Masaki: Xenia, what does it mean?

Xenia: Not sure... The information of the south is complicated, there are still many points that are ambiguous to us.

Omgared: You people have seen it. The scene before your eyes is reality. Please accept it.

Masaki: I'm tired of that sarcasm. Anyway, I acknowledged that you're the president's aid. But, what is this letter? You want to cooperate with us?

Omgared: Just as it says. We don't wish for war. We want peace.

Masaki: That's the line all terrorists say!

Omgared: ...You forgot my social position? The statement just now became an international problem.

Wagener: Masaki, trust this problem to me.

Masaki: ...Understood, Representative.

Wagener: Then, presidential aid Kireshina.

Omgared: You can call me Omgared. We have an established relationship, you and I, right?

Wagener: Ok, I sympathize, given the relationship we fought many times until now, Aid.

Omgared: Thank you. We have no ulterior motive. Representative Wagener, will you accept our proposal?

Wagener: A very self-centered proposal. You went on invading and it turned out to be dangerous, so you want to cooperate.

Omgared: I've said it before. The invasion tactic some time ago isn't the official tactic of our government. It was utilized selfishly by one part of the rebellion. We already get rid of those rebellions. It isn't the fault of the president.

Wagener: A lizard's casting off of its tail to escape?

Omgared: It is a necessary measure. I presented the order of the president. It is easy to understand right? As for me, from now on I want to build up a favorable relationship with you guys.

Wagener: I am afraid to say Aid, there is a big gap in our outlooks.

Omgared: We can fill up the gap, Representative.

Wagener: If that is the case I've one condition.

Omgared: I see, that is your answer?

Wagener: Yeah, well... If you can accept this offer we can compromise.

Omgared: Oh, what is that offer?

Wagener: Your dismissal.

Omgared: ...I'm afraid I can't accept that. Somehow we became mortal enemies.

Wagener: Please don't forget that a person is valued by his previous actions.

Omgared: Being seized by the past is the thinking of a fool. I've misjudged you.

Wagener: Aid, we already showed our open-mindedness to the utmost by not arresting you here.

Omgared: Roger. Then, allow me to escape before being seized.

Wagener: Yes, definitely.

Masaki: ...How did he become president's aid?

Xenia: He is silver-tongued. Moreover, because of that he obtained many sponsors.

Masaki: Sponsors of a terrorist? It is the end of the world. 

#Scene 418#

Mio: Eh? Demeksa-san, what are you doing?

Demeksa: Haa, well I’m... Well, it is correct to say I'm doing nothing.

Mio: I mean: how was the proposal?

Demeksa: Mio-san, your voice is loud.

Becky: Eh? What? Proposal?

Simone: I thought I heard something interesting.

Demeksa: ...Look, curious onlookers have gathered.

Mio: Ah, sorry. But seriously how will you do it?

Demeksa: Well... Let me think a bit.

Becky: Don't tell me the target of the proposal is Holy?

Simone: Eh? So that's the story between those two? I didn't notice at all…

Becky: I was suspicious from before. But, I didn't expect it to go as far as to propose.

Simone: What, that's not frank. You should have informed us.

Demeksa: ...It is too unnatural for me to have thought of that.

Mio: Ahaha, sorry sorry. However, because your determination is already firm, all that remains is only to realize it, right?

Demeksa: Ah~, right but…

Becky: What, you ain't sure?

Simone: You mustn't hesitate.

Demeksa: Ah, good grief, I know. That's why, don't speak so loudly.

Mio: Oh, you decided?

Demeksa: I could only go through with it because of your urgung. It is just right that she is off duty, I'll contact her now and talk to her.

Mio: Oh, try your best!

Becky: We'll assist you.

Simone: Call her now.

Demeksa: Can you stop pushing me~?

Becky: Ahaha.

Demeksa: Good grief... Ah, hello, it’s Demeksa. Ah, yes, the truth is, I've a thing I want to ask between just the two of us…

Becky: …

Simone: …

Mio: …

Demeksa: ...Really? Yes. Then, I'll wait for you. Phew...So, why does everyone listen attentively like that?

Becky: Oh, well, because we worry.

Simone: Same to the right.

Mio: Same to the left.

Demeksa: Because the next part is my problem alone, don't get in my way. Bye.

Becky: ...You heard it?

Mio: Yeah yeah.

Simone: I'm thinking of the third resting room. Almost no one uses it.

Mio: So, what should we do?

Becky: Isn't that obvious?

Simone: Of course.

Mio: As I thought? 

#Scene 419#

Holy: E... er... the thing you wanted to ask is…

Demeksa: A~, er, fine weather right?

Holy: Ah, yes. But I don't know from here.

Demeksa: If the weather is nice, it makes you feel like napping at noon right?

Holy: Yeah. If you're basking in the sun, you'll totally doze off.

Demeksa: You like basking in the sun?

Holy: Yeah, I do.

Demeksa: I'm glad. Then, please marry me.

Holy: Yes, marry…Eeh!? Marry!?

????: Eeeeeeh!?

Demeksa: ...The outside is noisy.

Becky: Hey, what, what happened just now!?

Simone: There is no spirit at all?

Mio: Well, that's just like Demeksa-san'…

Demeksa: Even though I said don't get in my way, you followed me and eavesdropped.

Becky: You know, lights are usually followed by shadows.

Demeksa: That isn't an appropriate excuse.

Simone: Even so, you propose just because she likes basking in the sun?

Demeksa: But, if you can't understand mutual taste, you will have lots of trouble right?

Mio: Muh, you have a point.

Simone: Then, if she said I hate it, what would you do?

Demeksa: At that time, I'd find a different common ground.

Becky: Oh? You are tougher than I thought.

Holy: E, er…

Becky: Oops, which reminds me, you haven't replied, Holy.

Holy: Eh? Eh?

Simone: Your reply is?

Mio: I'm nervous.

Holy: E, er... troublesome!

Simone: Whoa…

Mio: That is an unexpected answer.

Becky: Torpedoed? Well, don't feel down, Demeksa.

Holy: W-wrong! The ones that are bothering me are you guys. My reply to Demeksa-san is Ok!

Demeksa: Ah, thank you.

Becky: Ooh!?

Simone: Well then…

Mio: Congrats!

Xenia: I've heard your entire story!!

Mio: Ooh!? I never thought I had a chance to hear that line in raw!

Demeksa: ...This time is Xenia-san?

Becky: All the story... Don't tell me you…

Xenia: Shh! That is private business.

Simone: ...Someday you'll be caught, Xenia-sama.

Xenia: Anyway, this is the birth of Antilles Corp's first official couple! Let's do a gaudy marriage ceremony at once!

Mio: Gaudy... You carry marriage tools by truck with transparent platforms and scatter candies to neighborhoods?

Goku: Master, that is the custom of only one region.

Holy: ...There is no privacy in Antilles Corp right?

Xenia: Just this once! We'll do all Antilles Corp can do and create a gaudy wedding ceremony!

Demeksa: Er, sorry to disappoint you but, I plan to do the ceremony in the future.

Xenia: Eh? Why?

Demeksa: ...Because it is the custom of my hometown, moreover we have things we must do now right?

Xenia: Ah... Oh well, that's true but…

Mio: Then, let's discuss the ceremony again after this war is finished.

Simone: Yeah, if you say so.

Becky: Hahhaa, I'm looking forward to it.

Holy: ...It seems you ignored us two from the beginning.

Demeksa: Never mind. That's part of being in Antilles Corp.

Holy: Fufu... Right. 

#Scene 420#

Masaki: What on earth will the south become? Omgared is the president aid. It is a nasty joke.

Xenia: There is almost no human intelligence in the south at all. For gauging political conditions, HUMINT is the most important.

Masaki: Although you could sense the movement of the army?

Xenia: That is thanks to breaking their encryption. There’s no encryption on the political situation, right?

Wendy: Analysis is necessary to find out why it became like that but, the more important thing is we must think of what to do from now on.

Tyutti: Right... I want to know the reason why they suddenly halted the tactic of invading Ariel kingdom.

Ryune: Zash, you have been to the south right? You don't have some kind of contact there?

Zash: I was forced to be taken along by Father. I don't know to that extent.

Xenia: Fang, bring Mefil to me. We'll try to use the mass communication news and analyze the political condition of the south.

Fang: Yes!

Xenia: Tyutti, help me.

Guido: You don't need the help of Yanglong and me?

Xenia: Guido, Yanglong and Wendy are backup. Rest up.

Guido: Roger. 

#Scene 421#

Mio: Hey hey, Omgared had Shutedonian nationality?

Guido: I don't know. He has an identification paper, so I think he earned citizenship.

Mio: I wonder if he seduced the opponent by smooth talking. He just pays lip service.

Guido: He knows well of himself. Call it paying lip service but namely, that becomes the biggest advantage.

Yanlong: A type of Soshin, Chougi?

Mio: Alliance? I learned through history. The person that asked: my tongue is still there?

Yanglong: That is Chougi. It is noted in Chougi's biographies of historical records.

Guido: He rose to even the president's aid by a glib tongue. Indeed we have to acknowledge the real ability of that tongue.

Masaki: If I talk with that guy, I feel irritated. He deceives me into believing that black is white.

Yanglong: The white horse isn't a horse, the speech of sophistry.

Guido: Whatever the details, the truth is Omgared has become the aid of the south. It can't be wrong that he becomes the key that dominates the movement of the south from now on.

Masaki: ...I’d prefer it if we march directly into the south.

Ryune: It is a typical idea of Masaki. Not bad but, I think it is still a bit early.

Masaki: ...We've to wait for Xenia's information analysis? 

#Scene 422#

Xenia: Phew…

Masaki: You're tired, Xenia? Don't overdo it and rest a little.

Xenia: After this report is finished, I'll do that.

Wagener: I'm sorry for your tiredness but, I trust the report to you, Xenia.

Xenia: It can't be wrong Omgared has some kind of backing.

Ryune: That backing is?

Xenia: I can't tell yet. The south controls mass communication fairly well.

Simone: Control mass communication? Because it is the state of emergency?

Xenia: That is possible but, they intentionally don't let information flow freely.

Simone: ...That is the worst. Controlling information is the old trick of dictatorship.

Xenia: Anyway, it is clear that Omgared not only has lip service but also obtained plenty of funds.

Guido: There are lots of politicians who fall down because of money. That includes the present president of the south, Boloises.

Masaki: A puppet government?

Xenia: Well, if there is only one material that makes us relief, it is the matter that Omgared is becoming friendly with Elsine.

Masaki: With Elsine? That’s just posturing right?

Xenia: Think realistically. By the national power of the south now they can't fight flat-out with the north. It makes sense that they’d offer a peace contract.

Masaki: That Omgared can be trusted?

Xenia: Of course not. But because at the present they don't move, we could only wait and see.

Masaki: I know that Antilles Corp basically is passive but... I feel sick.

Xenia: More or less, I entrusted Fang making contact to the south, as Antilles Corp's ambassador plenipotentiary.

Guido: The preparation to establish an embassy in each nation ahead of time is also necessary.

Wagener: Um... Looks like they won't take any action for 2 or 3 days. Xenia, thank you for your hard work. Please rest now.

Xenia: Ok... I will.

Wagener: Then, the Hringhorni will continuously guard at the high sea. The ones that can rest, please do so. 

#Scene 423#

Bradroy: The further we go the more sea we see... Boring.

Charian: …

Bradroy: Shall we land on the water and do some fishing?

Charian: Who signed at the ship smelling of the seashore?

Bradroy: No no, the smell of the sea is sailor's romance.

Charian: ...You change what you said frequently.

Masaki: Captain. Fang hasn't said anything yet?

Bradroy: Yeah. According to schedule he should have come back but…

Coret: There is information from Fang-san!

Masaki: Oh, good timing.

Bradroy: Connect to the main circuit.

Coret: That is... He is using not the holo-projector but the code line.

Masaki: You mean text only? Something must have happened...Well, gather everyone at the briefing room for me.

Charian: Roger! 

#Scene 424#

Xenia: I'll make a summary of the information from Fang. The south sent a military assistance advisory group to Ariel kingdom. I want you to pay attention to that.

Tyutti: Military assistance advisory group? Ariel kingdom is a major power in technology to the extent of exporting Masouki to the south. Doing such a thing, at this late hour…

Guido: The existence and non-existence of combat experience. Although Ariel kingdom has the Adversary squad, their combat experience is almost zero.

Masaki: What I care about is the part called I want you to pay attention to. What shall we pay attention to?

Xenia: Looks like the news source isn't clear. However, there is a high chance that the military assistance advisory group will raise some kind of problem.

Yanglong: What is the military assistance advisory group of the south doing now?

Xenia: They're in the middle of observing the defense state of Ariel kingdom's Tanvil Gate.

Masaki: It is worthwhile having guard at the high sea. That place isn't far from here.

Tyutti: Right, whatever happens, we can move immediately…

Mefil: Urgent information! The Adversary squad of Ariel kingdom is fighting the military assistance advisory group of the south at Tanvil Gate!

Wendy: Fighting near the gate!? That’s excessive…

Masaki: Whatever the reason, our duty is to stop the fighting! When it comes to the dispute of cross-national, we can mediate between without argument!

Wagener: I allow Antilles Corp's forcible execution. Let's head to Tanvil Gate. 

-------------------------
Stage 64: Defend the gate
-------------------------

#Scene 425 (Map)#

Zamboss: I see. As a plan of defense, it is a passing mark.

Raikou: ...Thank you.

Goshin: Raikou, I know you feel unwell but don't make a sour face. In the field of diplomacy there is a thing called official policy right?

Raikou: I know.

Zamboss: By the way, I wonder how you handled the technique of invisibility?

Raikou: We're in the middle of researching. I can't tell the concrete result.

Zamboss: Yeah, indeed. That technique is also too much for our army to bear.

Sumera: Because it is a technique that can't be used by large forces, as for the plan of defense here, we concluded it isn't an important matter.

Zamboss: If it is the normal force, certainly it is so. However, if the opponent is the Masoukishin?

Sumera: Of course, we can't fight against the Masoukishin that uses the technique of invisibility. But, those guys won't do such a thing.

Zamboss: I wonder if it is so? Ah, no, that is a warning. Something like a military preparation for the worst case...Muh!?

Raikou: Missiles!? It can't be, from where…

Zamboss: ...What does that mean?

Raikou: The one attacked isn't our army!

Zamboss: But, the one being aimed at was me. This place is the interior of Ariel kingdom... Someone else is here huh?

Raikou: We'll do urgent investigation!

Zamboss: ...Too bad. Even though we trust you and sent the military assistance advisory group…

Raikou: Wait! I can guarantee that it wasn't an attack from our army!

Zamboss: The one received the attack is me. Therefore, I'll put the right of self defense into operation.

Raikou: The right of self defense... You will fight us!?

Zamboss: A natural right. To guarantee our safety, I'll destroy the Tanvil Gate.

Raikou: It can't be!? Such a reason is!

Zamboss: This place is already the battlefield. And you and I are mutual enemies. I could only possess power and show it to you!

Raikou: Shit…

Sumera: Raikou! Defend the gate anyway! Don't get distracted by those guys!

Raikou: U-understood!

Masaki: We are still in time!?

Tyutti: Both sides, dismiss your forces!

Zamboss: We’re only acting in self defense! Don't stand in our way!

Goshin: It is ridiculous by the insistence of aiming at the gate as the right of self defense.

Charian: From the battle record, the action of the army of the south is deviating the treaty.

Masaki: Good, let's repel the army of the south!

Zamboss: I see. I'll be able to enjoy this tactic if my opponent is you guys. Because you bastards always stand in my way. Prepare yourself! 

*Turn 3 enemies phase*

Deming: Oh, you are making a big show.

Dihigo: Let's join too!

Masaki: What? Those guys are mercenaries from before!? They made allies with the south?

Deming: It is rather correct to say we're your enemy.

Dihigo: That's it. Our objective is only you guys!

Masaki: ...Don't tell me, you bastards, from the beginning hang out with... 

[Tyutti vs Zamboss]

Tyutti: It is a cowardice method to aim at the gate!

Zamboss: Muh... Coward? I won't let you insult me like that! 

[Raikou vs Deming]

Raikou: You bastards! You are friends of lieutenant colonel Nasel!?

Deming: Well, what are you talking about? We only want to retaliate Antilles Corp.

Raikou: ... 

[Yuno vs Deming]

Yuno: ...The missile from before matches the same form with your missile.

Deming: Oh? Really? It is a very ordinary missile that can be found anywhere. 

[Goshin vs Deming]

Goshin: Hmm, you guys set up a very elaborate plot.

Deming: Plot? I completely don't understand what you're saying.

  1. Scene 426#

Raikou: Thanks to you we're safe. Thank you.

Masaki: No biggie. On top of that, what is the origin of the matter?

Raikou: Lieutenant colonel Nasel was unexpectedly attacked by a missile.

Masaki: And the criminal?

Raikou: I don't have positive proof but I think it is Deming.

Xenia: A reasonable assumption. It is very suspicious that he appeared midway.

Guido: Their objective is the Tanvil Gate?

Goshin: It is obvious right? If that gate is destroyed, our country has no way to negotiate. Anyhow, that place is the heart of our negotiation.

Tyutti: Doing everything by themselves... The south has become unconcerned about the ugliness of their actions.

Raikou: This action of the south is equivalent to a declaration of war. I'm sure my country will oppose the north and take countermeasures.

Goshin: It is not that simple. You must know the condition of our government now, Raikou.

Raikou: I know that but... No matter how you look at it, there is no fool who would let this situation pass right?

Goshin: Have you forgotten that we have hardships like this because of such fools?

Raikou: Ugh…

Yuno: ...Treating it as an accidental discharge and expressing our regrettable feeling is the best we can do.

Sumera: I don't like it but... right... Since the south is our regular customer.

Masaki: You have lots of trouble with lots of idiots being your big shots.

Raikou: There are also people who appreciate us. Moreover, even if there are fools, protecting our homeland is our job.

Mio: Why not join Antilles Corp?

Goshin: That is a charming suggestion.

Raikou: Impossible. We need to protect our country by ourselves.

Masaki: Ah, indeed. Please forget Mio's nonsense.

Raikou: We can't do much for you but if it is the matter of supplying materials our army will happily act as a role of your supporter. Will you come to receive it?

Xenia: Eh? Really?

Raikou: We can grant discretion to that extent. But, at the range permissible by law.

Xenia: That's enough! Because the parts made by Ariel kingdom are of the best quality.

Wagener: Thank you for your kindness.

Raikou: Then, please come to our base. 

#Scene 427#

????: Will it really be alright like this?

Omgared: Don't worry, your Excellency Boloises. He wasn't prosecutable but I assigned him to an isolated area. First of all, he can't interfere right?

Geran: My anxiety is, is there a strategist that can replace general Dastrasch in our army? There is that genius Barom in the north. A half-hearted strategist only is there to be manipulated.

Omgared: If that's the case you can relax. Despite my look, I have confidence in being a strategist in my own way.

Geran: I approve your speech and economic clout but, when it comes to strategy especially, achievements talk. Can I trust you?

Omgared: Your Excellency, strategy and politics are indivisible. You acknowledged my political ability right?

Geran: ...Understood. If you insist, I'll bet on you. The same as before.

Omgared: As expected of your Excellency.

Geran: And, about the matter of Elsine. Let the public opinion be satisfied with the way it is now. I want to give a bit of damage to the north.

Omgared: ...A hard request.

Geran: I'm expecting your skill.

Omgared: ...Yes.

Geran: Don't disappoint me, Aid.

Omgared: A light portable shrine is rather easy to carry? It's me. Mail? The sender is? ...I see, check and pass it to me. The decoding key is... I see....Oh. Perfect timing. But, if it becomes too dangerous...Hmm, instigate that recovered lost territory? We've to receive hard work from them. 

#Scene 430#

Fang: I've returned, Xenia-sama.

Xenia: Thank you for your hard work, Fang.

Fang: To tell you the truth, I tried to return in time for the battle but…

Xenia: It is rather important that you gave me valuable information.

Fang: Y-yes…

Masaki: Fang, you're completely fit as Xenia's errand boy.

Fang: ...Not errand boy. I'm a loyal subject.

Masaki: No self-awareness…

Wendy: Xenia-sama, the supporting materials from Ariel kingdom already arrived at the hangar.

Xenia: They came!? Let's go at once!!

Wendy: Yes.

Masaki: ...They are gone. I wish I could thank them for their hard work.

Fang: They don't want your sympathy. It leaves bad after-taste.

Masaki: Since there is spare time, let's go to the hangar.

Fang: ...Yeah. Because I've things to do. 

#Scene 431#

Xenia: Look at this! The beauty of this finish!

Wendy: Xenia-sama, please look at this. The cut of the handiwork.

Xenia: The craftsmanship is truly amazing. There is even no measurement error to micron level.

Masaki: ...What is that? You two are like other women going nuts over brand-name clothes.

Fang: Certainly…

Masaki: How should I say, they ain't attractive or…

Becky: I didn't think that Masaki complaints about desire.

Masaki: Becky, you're here.

Becky: I was preparing La Wenter until a while ago. Even so, those two really are making merry.

Masaki: Indeed.

Becky: It is the most effective to give those two mechanical systems as presents.

Fang: ...I see.

Becky: Eh? What do you mean by I see, Fang?

Fang: Hmm... N-nothing.

Becky: Haha, it is useless to dodge the question. I'm the sharp ear of Hringhorni.

Masaki: ? What do you mean?

Becky: Because Fang is…

Fang: Wait, Becky!

Becky: What? Gotta pay the toll to shut me up…

Fang: How about this?

Becky: T-that is! Shutedonias's famous brand of sake, The Spirit of Han!

Fang: I’ll give you this. Therefore stop saying unnecessary things.

Becky: Hahhaa, I know, Fang. You are a wonderful man you know.

Fang: ...Good grief. To let go of such a trump card for dealing with Becky is... a blunder.

Charian: All pilots, gather at the briefing room at once. I repeat, all pilots, gather at the briefing room at once.

Masaki: Urgent call? Let's go. 

#Scene 432#

Wagener: So all members are gathered?

Tyutti: Yes. So, what's wrong?

Wagener: First take a look at this.

Rico: To everyone of Antilles Corp. The south is carrying out an invasion tactic on the north. I request a quick support response.

Mio: From Rico-chan? How did it reach us?

Wagener: She used the absolute secrecy circuit that was established before when we communicated with general Dastrasch.

Yanglong: So, this information is correct?

Mefil: We understand that the south is practising a mobilization plan. The information in details is in the middle of analysis.

Tyutti: And the likelihood of fake information?

Guido: It is possible but, since she used the absolute secrecy circuit, that possibility is very low.

Xenia: Wait. I confirmed some different information. General Dastrasch was tried at a military tribunal...?

Guido: Military tribunal? I heard that the first time.

Xenia: The charge is leaking official secrets. But the truth is there is no evidence. He is innocent... After that, General was appointed to No.18 military supply base.

Guido: An actual demotion.

Xenia: The leaking official secrets... huh?

Fang: Ah!

Xenia: ? What's wrong with you, Fang?

Fang: I... obtained the clue of the information some time ago from general Dastrasch.

Xenia: Clue?

Fang: The General suggested investigating the inspection of the military assistance advisory group, I was worried and investigated. The result is that I obtained the information a few days ago but…

Xenia: I see... They decided that was leaking official secrets and made a false charge.

Guido: The one constructed in the shadows is Omgared.

Xenia: If that's the case, we can trust the information this time from Rico…

Yanglong: Omgared is a very good schemer.

Masaki: Xenia, the movement of the south?

Xenia: Wait a little. Because the code became new, I need a bit of time.

Mefil: The deciphering is finished. We confirmed the movement of an army battalion. Their destination is the temporary border with the north. My forecast is Dec Valley.

Masaki: Good, understood. The discussion ends here! We'll act first!

Ryune: Concur. It is a waste of time to confirm whether the information is fake or not. Let's depart for Dec Valley!

Yanglong: I hear strategy is hasty. I also concur.

Tyutti: Right... I agree.

Wagener: Then let's contact the captain and take the route to Dec Valley. 

--------------------------------------------
Stage 33: The southern union's counterattack
--------------------------------------------

#Scene 433 (Map)#

Masaki: Eh? That paint is…

Rico: As I thought, you came.

Xenia: Rico!? You're the commander of this squad!?

Rico: Right, it is ironic. As long as things were like this...

Ryune: Wait, wait! You can't withdraw!?

Rico: Order is do-or-die resistance. The withdrawal by spare energy left can't be confirmed.

Guido: Absurd orders. That is nothing but inefficiency of the Naval General Staff.

Rico: But, orders are absolute.

Guido: Even if it is tactically meaningless?

Rico: To think of that is above my authority. Fucked up chain of command is unforgivable.

Mio: I don't say you should follow Zamboss's example but, can you do something with the explanation of the scene?

Rico: That has the same meaning as suggesting a rebellion. Question and answer beyond this is needless.

Masaki: It can't be helped... Survive properly!

Rico: I wasn't thinking of killing myself from the beginning.

Wagener: Um, it can't be helped. I allow Antilles Corp's forcible execution. 

*Turn 6*

Margaret: Antilles Corp... This time I'll beat you!

Mudeka: Yeah, let's do it! 

*Margaret defeated*

Margaret: Not yet! I won't die by such a thing! Till next time! 

*Mudeka defeated*

Mudeka: Shit... I won't forget this bitterness! 

*Rico defeated*

Rico: This is it... Retreat! 

[Masaki vs Rico]

Rico: Why do we have to fight again…

Masaki: Yeah, troublesome. By the way, you are very arrogant in front of people.

Rico: Because I'm the commanding officer. I have to pretend to be important.

Masaki: Ah, indeed. 

[Masaki vs Mudeka]

Masaki: Get a life!

Mudeka: It is my pride that I'm vengeful!

Masaki: That is nothing to be proud about! 

[Masaki vs Margaret]

Margaret: The foe of colonel Rasetsu!

Masaki: Good grief, you're stubborn. 

[Mio vs Rico]

Mio: Hey hey, I've a suggestion.

Rico: Eh? What?

Mio: Pretend to lose on purpose and withdraw. How is that?

Rico: I'm weak on drama.

Mio: I see... Then, although we'll fight flat-out, don't lose your focus!

Rico: You too, Mio-chan! 

[Ryune vs Rico]

Rico: Valsione...? I don't want to damage it.

Ryune: If you are reluctant like that, you'll lose your life! Pull yourself together!

Rico: Ah, yeah. 

[Xenia vs Rico]

Xenia: Eh? That machine was remodelling?

Rico: E? Y, yeah. Aunt Siena did a little…

Xenia: Aunt Siena? You mean Siena Ludolantis!? Wow! Rare thing! 

[Simone vs Margaret]

Margaret: Die, Simone!!

Simone: How long will you tie to that man!

Margaret: Don't call colonel Rasetsu that man! 

[Fang vs Mudeka]

Mudeka: Fang Xan Vicias! From the time I was defeated by you, I’ve made painstaking efforts!

Fang: Effort isn't the thing you are proud of in front of people.

Mudeka: Don't think I'm the same as before! 

[Roselie vs Mudeka]

Roselie: Stop, you guys! Even stubbornness has its limit!

Mudeka: Eh!? Aah!!

Roselie: What? What's wrong with you?

Mudeka: The Roselie of Antilles Corp is you, Roselie Gymnas!

Roselie: Er... Who are you? How did you know my real name?

Mudeka: You forgot!? It's me! Mudeka Lavence! We played together when we're small, didn't it?

Roselie: Ah... Er... When? I change residence a lot so I can't remember.

Mudeka: 8 years ago! It is exactly 8 years 3 months 12 days!

Roselie: ...I remembered. The habit of remembering excessively until detailed matter. You are that Mudeka?

Mudeka: Right! Thank you for remembering me!

Roselie: Hmph... Now that you mention it, you always flare up at me!

Mudeka: Eeh!? N, no, that is er, you know, the late contrariness of children or perhaps er... the inside out of love…

Roselie: Ah! Now that I remembered you, I get angry! Good grief, I won't forgive you!

Mudeka: Eeh!? E, er, I…

Roselie: Arguing is no use!! 

[Guido vs Rico]

Rico: Uncle, you hated the cookies?

Guido: Muh... I don't want you to make me remember that. 

[Roselie shot down Mudeka]

Mudeka: ...Today is memorial day. I could meet you again.

Roselie: Eh? What are you saying!

Mudeka: We'll meet again, Roselie.

Roselie: Don't call me in such a friendly tone!

  1. Scene 434#

Xenia: …

Masaki: What, Xenia? You said you've something to say so I gathered everyone.

Xenia: Something is strange.

Masaki: What?

Wendy: The scale of the south army. It is very little compared to what I predicted.

Masaki: And what’s the story with Mudeka and Margaret?

Wendy: Yeah, if the intervention of the Maltena company is true…

Masaki: You mean there are extra forces?

Mefil: I can't confirm the force heading this way but...Ah, we received news! Eh... It can't be…

Wagener: What's wrong?

Mefil: The south... surrendered Kismen province.

Xenia: Kismen province... It is the strategy's gist of the north! What's wrong with Akraid? I couldn't think he’d make such an error.

Mefil: I don't know the detailed information. It seems the north's chain of command is in chaos.

Guido: We were deceived.

Xenia: ...Right. I can't believe they used Rico as a decoy.

Masaki: They deceived us completely?

Wendy: No, at least we succeed in protecting Dec Valley.

Guido: Yeah... It is impossible for Antilles Corp to face two-front operations. It wasn't wrong that we headed here.

Xenia: My reading was naive? I didn’t think that the south has that much military force left.

Masaki: The origin is Maltena company, right?

Xenia: ...Yeah. I can't believe they intervened that far.

Masaki: Mudeka and Margaret... How long will they keep aiming at us? 

#Scene 435#

Akraid: Sorry for bothering you. Senator Gesha, this is brigadier general Akraid Barom.

Rodney: What? Since when did you become brigadier general? Your promotion is remarkably fast.

Akraid: Fast promotion is ironic since I lost.

Rodney: You're being counted on that much, right? Ah, but this is lunch time. Now’s the only time I could get to meet you.

Akraid: Oh, don't be sorry. Is that a handmade lunch box of your wife?

Rodney: Yeah, right. This is a masterpiece.

Akraid: It looks delicious.

Rodney: ...It can't be helped. Put out your hand.

Akraid: You're going to share it with me?

Rodney: Only this spring roll. Here.

Akraid: Thank you. I see this taste good.

Rodney: Indeed. But no more for you.

Akraid: So, what is the story for calling me here?

Rodney: Your defeat is something extraordinary.

Akraid: No, well, not really.

Rodney: I'll suggest a special budget at the extraordinary session of the Diet tomorrow. To the intelligence division.

Akraid: I'm grateful for that.

Rodney: Because the necessary agreement is finished, the plan might pass smoothly. I entrust the budget to you.

Akraid: ...Is it alright to be that frank?

Rodney: Just so you know, it is not the case that I completely trust you. However, this time I need your ability.

Akraid: I'm happy to receive those words.

Rodney: Omgared of the south... Anyhow we must figure him out.

Akraid: Indeed. Because there are lots of things I don't know about him, thanks to that I was outsmarted.

Rodney: The budget and intelligence division is for that purpose. Talk to me if that ain't enough. I'll find a way somehow.

Akraid: No no, that's plenty.

Rodney: ...I'm counting on you. I can't let Shutedonias divide for good.

Akraid: You've my sympathy. Having said that, entrusting everything to Omgared is very dangerous.

Rodney: The most troublesome matter is the citizens. Oops, I've to go. I sincerely trust in you.

Akraid: Take care. ...A busy person. Well, that's how a politician is. I think it also might fit me... 

#Scene 436#

Wagener: At last we could understand to some degree the details of the battle of Kismen province.

Masaki: So, how was that Akraid outsmarted?

Wagener: This is my conjecture... Probably, there was cyberterrorism inside the north army.

Masaki: Cyberterrorism? You mean that is Dihigo's work?

Xenia: But we don't have any evidence. However, no evidence is the best evidence.

Masaki: In other words, the one who can enforce and cover up that far is only Dihigo?

Xenia: Of course, but I could do it too.

Masaki: You boast.

Wagener: Because of that cyberterrorism, the north's chain of command was in disorder and their army fled.

Mefil: Their movement is too unnatural.

Masaki: ...Cyberterrorism is troublesome.

Xenia: The security of the north is insufficient. But thanks to that we can obtain a lot of information. Right right, I remembered because of information: I heard that Rodney is doing many things.

Mio: The old man? What do you mean by many things?

Xenia: He established the law of budget to strengthen the intelligence division, the anti-cyberterrorism revision measure, the political funds law revision...Well, he is doing legislation by House members in rapid succession.

Mio: Ah, he became a senator, right?

Xenia: But originally legislation by House members is the lower house's job. He made necessary agreements smoothly for such matters.

Mio: I see. You are an energetic, old man.

Masaki: ...I've a small suggestion. Will you listen?

Tyutti: Oh, that's rare. What is it?

Masaki: We're always being forestalled right? I don't know what to say, but is there a method so that we can seize the initiative?

Wagener: Um, a hard suggestion. If we do things poorly, it will become an intervention.

Masaki: I know that but... I'm irritated.

Wendy: Right... We can't intervene directly in a foreign country but, if it’s counter-intelligence…

Xenia: Information manoeuvering? Ryune, can we draw out the budget?

Ryune: At the present it is impossible. We're running out of it due to military preparation expenses.

Mio: We are that poor?

Ryune: I'm afraid to say, yes.

Mio: How was THAT? You know, the Antilles shop.

Ryune: For the time being the sales are going well. Since there are no more complaints from the neighborhood.

Mio: Then, let's establish the 2nd shop! If we do that the profit will be multiplied by 2!

Ryune: We need money for that. We have to prepare ahead of the half year: tenant expense, raw material expense, energy bill, personnel expense.

Mio: So you mean, that is also impossible since we don't have money?

Ryune: Correct.

Mio: Waa! Everything is because of poverty! Having no money is the same with having no head!

Prescia: Money is necessary?

Ryune: That's true.

Prescia: Then, I'll send it to you.

Ryune: Ahaha, thank you. But, you better not overdo.

Prescia: Brother, I'll break the savings for you. Okay?

Masaki: Eh? My cash? It is that much?

Prescia: I've saved a lot of cash you're awarded for winning the contest.

Masaki: Ah, that? Which reminds me I did entrust it all to Prescia.

Ryune: ...You're sloppy, Masaki.

Masaki: Because I'm weak with such things. Well, good. It will help us a bit right? Do as you like, Prescia.

Prescia: Um, understood. Ryune-san, here is the bank-account.

Ryune: Yes yes. Then, I'll check it a little…E? Eeh!?

Masaki: What? You are astonished because it isn't much?

Ryune: The opposite! This is too much!

Xenia: Too much is…

Uwah!? 1, 10, 100, 1000... 7 hundred million!?

Prescia: Eh!? That much? Because I've made a separate account, I didn’t know…

Ryune: W... Wonderful... Rich person... Masaki, marry me!!

Masaki: ...You’re a golddigger?

Ryune: A, ahaha…E-even so, why have you got that much?

Prescia: I don't understand it well but... I received a favor for making a fortune application program from Xenia-san right?

Xenia: Eh? Ah, indeed there was such a thing.

Prescia: After I entrusted it to her and operated as it is, it became like that.

Xenia: ...Damn, that program could be used surprisingly. I should have used it.

Masaki: ...Hey, Xenia. You let Prescia use a program you don't trust?

Xenia: Now, now. Look, since we earned money as a result, it is good alright!

Ryune: That program is no more?

Xenia: Because I think it can't be used, I erased the source code... Moreover that program used a random number generator.

Mefil: Er~... In other words, to earn profit or not depends on the random numbers?

Xenia: Well, to say roughly that's right. In Masaki's case, he has a reasonable amount of cash, moreover he leaves it alone for more than 2 years. It looks profitable to me.

Masaki: If there is bad luck, all of my money will disappear.

Wendy: ...Even Xenia-sama made a sloppy program.

Xenia: Ahaha... Well, because that's what you called youthful passion.

Ryune: Prescia, what will you do with this stock dividend? We've received a terrific amount of cash…

Prescia: ...Stock? A, which reminds me Father once said that he'll buy stock... But what...I think it was something like a security company…

Ryune: Because I don't understand the company name, let's investigate later by account record. On top of that, Masaki, before we have to pay the taxes can we donate it to Antilles Corp?

Masaki: Yeah, Ok. Because it is the cash that I didn't know until now, just donate it all.

Becky: Big-hearted.

Mio: Then, with that amount of cash we can establish the 2nd Antilles Corp huh?

Ryune: We can open 100 shops, let alone 2.

Xenia: Look like we can guarantee a stable source of income. Let's work up a blueprint.

Guido: It seems we can also invest budget for Xenia division.

Xenia: Yeah, we'll build and show everyone an information facility that won't lose to any country! 

#Scene 437#

Kuro: Unya~.

Gaen: …

Kuro: What are you reading, Gaen-san?

Gaen: …

Kuro: Don't ignore me!

Gaen: ...Fussy cat. The book of chess problems.

Kuro: Chess... Ah, Langran chess huh?

Gaen: Judging from your tone, there is also chess on the surface?

Kuro: Yes. Chess, tai shogi, Japanese chess... Originally they ended up in an Indian game called chaturanga.

Gaen: You... are more intelligent than your master Masaki.

Kuro: I am often being told that.

Gaen: Play with me?

Kuro: Ah, I can't play Langran chess. Since I don't know the rules.

Gaen: ...I see.

Kuro: You can't find a partner?

Gaen: Not particularly... On top of that, is it alright for you not to be together with Masaki?

Kuro: Masaki is in the middle of preparing Cybuster. Once in a while I have to let Masaki do things by himself. I can't keep spoiling him.

Gaen: ...I don't understand who is the master.

Kuro: Hey, teach me the rule of Langran chess. I'll play with you.

Gaen: Thanks but no... Hey, you. Don't climb on my knee.

Kuro: Because we don't need to be polite to each other. Let me see that book.

Gaen: What do you think you’re seeing, even though you don't understand the rules?

Kuro: Never mind that. What, you are comfortable to sit on.

Gaen: ...Good grief.

Mefil: Ah, there you are. Gaen-san~. Eh~? A rare combination.

Kuro: Ah, Mefil-san.

Mefil: What, Gaen-san likes cats. I'm surprised~.

Gaen: She took it selfishly.

Mefil: Ufufu, a gentle moment.

Gaen: ...What are you here for?

Mefil: Ah, right~. Please gather at the briefing room.

Gaen: I see. Understood. I'll be there right away. 

#Scene 438#

Wagener: I thought there were lots of people hearing the news but I'll report anyway. A terrible situation occurred.

Tsrein: The coup in the south?

Wagener: Yeah. The congress is banned, the government also formed a cabinet by national unity system with a focus on the present president Boloises.

Becky: In short, the authority of president Boloises is strengthened absolutely? Just like a dictatorship.

Masaki: ...No matter what I think of, I can only think that Omgared is acting at the back.

Wendy: Yeah, I think it isn't wrong, because of the connection with the military.

Yanglong: We can't let Omgared do as he please but... we can't act.

Tyutti: This is a domestic problem. It will be different if we've the resolution of the Federation.

Xenia: The Federation still waits and sees. If Boloises is headed by an outward appearance, I think we shouldn't do reckless things.

Masaki: After all, it is somewhat a situation where we can't act and can't interfere.

Xenia: It can't be helped right? Because Xenia division still isn't at the level it can act normally.

Tsrein: !? New news! A peace demonstration of Curius school occurred near the temporary border of the north! It seems, the north army suppressed that demonstration, the south opposed that and executed an armed intervention!

Masaki: Curius school... The one that contains Elsine?

Tyutti: We can't overlook the appearance of victims among the civilians.

Wagener: Right. Let's quickly head there. 

-------------------------------------------
Stage 34: The offense and defense of border

#Scene 439 (Map)#

Riciel: Is the evacuation of civilians finished?

Nico: Yes.

Riciel: Good grief... An unthinkable false accusation.

Zamboss: False accusation is inexcusable.

Riciel: Colonel Nasel... Oops, sorry for being rude. Now you're lieutenant colonel.

Zamboss: Fussy! The lawless people suppress my fellowmen!

Riciel: That's enough. We’re not suppressing your fellow countrymen.

Zamboss: I'll not listen to excuses!

Riciel: Good grief, you're a simple-minded person from the olden days. Because of that you fit well for a commander.

Masaki: Wait wait wait wait!

Zamboss: Damn, you came again, the meddlesome force.

Riciel: Oh, a coincidence. I also just thought so.

Wagener: In the name of Antilles Corp, we'll take care of this place.

Riciel: ...You act big.

Zamboss: Indeed.

Ryune: What? Those guys hit it off.

Masaki: Then, it is just the right time. Hey you, for the now, withdraw!

Riciel: I can't accept that attitude.

Zamboss: You've my sympathy.

Mio: Aah... It seems the wind changed its direction.

Riciel: Then, we'll temporarily come to an agreement.

Zamboss: We will settle with those guys first.

Masaki: Hey hey! What does that mean!

Zamboss: We owe you the countless debts of defeat!

Masaki: Damn... So that's it after all. Sortie!

Wagener: I allow Antilles Corp's forcible execution. 

*Zamboss defeated*

Zamboss: Shit! I'm done again... 

*Leo defeated*

Leo: This far huh? Retreat. 

*Riciel defeated*

Riciel: Phew... I'm done again. Well, good anyway. I feel refreshed. 

*Nico defeated*

Nico: I can only make it this far. Retreat. 

[Masaki vs Zamboss]

Zamboss: The Eulid this time was remodelling and power-up! It is not like before!

Masaki: I already saw your defeat the moment you relied on your machine. 

[Masaki vs Nico]

Masaki: Hey hey, why did it become like this?

Nico: Even you said so... I can only say the atmosphere…

Masaki: This is troublesome. 

[Masaki vs Riciel]

Masaki: Ah, I haven't seen you for a long time. Recently, I fought with the south the whole time.

Riciel: Oh, come to think of it, you're right. Shall we hug and celebrate the reunion?

Masaki: Ugh... Stop it. 

[Mio vs Zamboss]

Mio: Hey hey, this time did you think carefully?

Zamboss: ? What do you mean?

Mio: The new line when you suffered damage.

Zamboss: Unnecessary consideration! 

[Mio vs Nico]

Mio: Nico-chan, it's tough on both of us.

Nico: Yeah, true... 

[Mio vs Riciel]

Mio: You have something like a grudge against us?

Riciel: Oh, I wondered if you thought You don't. 

[Ryune vs Nico]

Ryune: I feel that we're fighting a pointless battle.

Nico: Yeah, I thought so too. 

[Ryune vs Zamboss]

Ryune: Cut it out, good grief!

Zamboss: A vigorous young lady as usual. 

[Ryune vs Riciel]

Ryune: Why do you go against us bit by bit!

Riciel: ...You're, a girl right? You should be aware of your way of speaking.

Ryune: Ugh... There is no time to think about that when you're in the midst of battle…

Riciel: ...I take back my word. We don't suit each other. 

[Xenia vs Nico]

Xenia: Ah, I guess that machine was remodeled?

Nico: E? Yeah, that's right.

Xenia: It is a bit rare-ish! I must record! 

[Prescia vs Nico]

Prescia: Nico-san! You can't stop fighting?

Nico: Sorry, Prescia-chan. There is no other way. 

[Guido vs Nico]

Guido: Thank you for that time before, young lady.

Nico: Uncle, you hated the cookie?

Guido: Ah... That was a bit of a trauma... 

#Scene 440#

Tsrein: Troublesome... After all that, both the north and south hate us…

Tyutti: I won’t say let's get used to being hated but, don't worry about it too much.

Masaki: Someone will be unhappy if people fight. We fight to lower the number of those persons even only a little. Cyphis taught me that.

Gaen: Cyphis... The wind elemental... Hmm.

Masaki: You have a complaint?

Gaen: No, I think you're deeply religious even if you're earthling.

Masaki: Even though you ride Masouki, you haven't felt an elemental?

Gaen: No.

Masaki: You declared flatly... I don't understand how this guy became a pilot.

Xenia: Ah, it seems the elemental of Solguddy doesn’t assert itself much. Ahmed also has that nature so he was selected.

Masaki: ...I don't know if it is handy or unhandy.

Guido: Nevertheless, the event this time is a bit hard to swallow.

Xenia: Yeah, right. I don't think the north is certainly pleased with Curius school. However, I'm sure they weren't being cornered to the extent of doing military suppression.

Fang: Rampage of the scene?

Guido: We won't understand if we don't investigate but... I think it is the strategy setup of a third person.

Roselie: That person did that to gain profit? Cause the north and the south fight each other and the one to gain benefit is... Langran?

Tsrein: I'm sure Langran wouldn’t do such a thing!

Roselie: Wawa, you don't have to yell…

Xenia: In the present Langran there is no politician who can go that far. On top of that, there is a high chance the culprit is Maltena company.

Ryune: Ah! I remembered the Maltena company! Prescia!

Prescia: Eh? W-what?

Ryune: Maltena company is the stock that Prescia owned.

Prescia: Eh? But the name is different.

Ryune: At the Shunjuu war, the Maltena company instantly became big so it changed its name. The original name is Katena comprehensive security management office.

Xenia: Ah, now you mention it, that's right. Eh? Wait a bit. You don't mean that stock earned free capital?

Ryune: Correct! Believe me or not, it expanded equivalent to 18% of all stocks!

Xenia: 18%... Well, the stock Possession rate of the Maltena company is… Wow, if that much, we'll be in a very superior position in the general meeting of stockholders.

Ryune: Right.

Guido: I see... The executive officers of Maltena company now are doing conflict intervention assertively but… By the general meeting of stockholders, if we can propose problems regarding the executive officers, we can pin down the action of Maltena company.

Xenia: Yes! By this, we solved one of the problems.

Masaki: I nearly can't understand but... Looks like we can stop various actions of the Maltena company?

Ryune: If the stock owner himself said such a thing... Well, I'll inform you in detail later.

Xenia: If that is the case, Omgared also can't do such an absurd tactic.

Tsrein: There is news!

Xenia: Eh? What?

Tsrein: The south occupied Cardinal province!

Wendy: Eh? This time is Cardinal province? Such strategy gist of the north is again…

Guido: ...Look like we were deceived by a diversionary tactic again.

Xenia: ...Good grief, don't sigh. We already did our best effort.

Guido: Indeed.

Masaki: Akraid was forestalled again. That guy cut corners?

Xenia: But he is a man that can't do such a thing…

Mefil: I'll try to gather more information.

Mio: How about asking old man Rodney?

Tyutti: Right... Secrecy is impossible but the general information from that side is reliable.

Xenia: Then, I'll try to contact him afterwards. 

#Scene 441#

Gaen: …

Kuro: Gaen-san, the chess problem again?

Gaen: ...You again?

Kuro: Hey, hey, let's play.

Gaen: Even though you said you don't know the rules?

Kuro: I saw the book some time ago and remembered. If you understand how the pieces move, it is the same with chess and shogi. Because I could remember even the standard move in shogi.

Gaen: Oh, you seem very confident.

Kuro: Sort of.

Gaen: Hmph... Ok then. I am already fed up with chess problems. I'll give you a light lesson.

Kuro: Don't take me lightly~. ... Kuro: Checkmate... No. Grand Padou.

Gaen: Muh…

Kuro: What will you do? I can go one more time.

Gaen: ...No, indeed there is no greater shame than asking for a 4th game.

Kuro: (But I think even 3 times is already very shameful)

Gaen: Like this... No, this is being checkmated. If so, I'll...

Kuro: There is no other way. How about surrender?

Gaen: Shit... I'm beaten.

Kuro: Hey, I'm strong right?

Gaen: ...I lack training.

Kuro: The next time we play maybe you should play with a handicap.

Gaen: ...No, that isn't necessary. I'll show you. I'll become strong.

Kuro: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. 

#Scene 442#

Rodney: So, how was it?

Akraid: We're in trouble. Indeed losing Cardinal province was a failure.

Rodney: I'm not talking about that. Ah, no, the link to Omgared’s backer.

Akraid: I can confirm the link with Maltena company. However, the terrorism this time is indeed still unknown.

Rodney: I see... Well, it can't be helped. If we can understand right away, we don't have to work so hard.

Akraid: But, even by coincidence the timing is too good.

Rodney: How is the likelihood? Don't you think Omgared joined hands with the Church of Volkruss?

Akraid: A possibility that can't be ignored. If we don't think like that at all, indeed that tactic is thoughtless.

Because Omgared is a good schemer in that way.

Rodney: ...Should we tell that matter to Antilles Corp?

Akraid: If you think that is an advantage to our country.

Rodney: At least, at the present, that is rather good right? But I can't tell how it will become a short time later…

Akraid: Ah... Perhaps we can request peace from the south?

Rodney: ...You are too smart. I'm alright with that but, before other senators, don't do such foreseeing.

Akraid: Ahaha, understood. I too, see an opponent and make a statement.

Rodney: Peace itself is good but... Making peace to the opponent Omgared now is like feeding a hungry tiger.

Akraid: Agreed. We're showing a gentle side while both Kismen and Cardinal are being stolen.

Rodney: Right... Well, I’ll also try to do my best a bit more. But I can't tell how far I can influence the public opinion. 

#Scene 443#

Yanglong: ...I see. Akraid's defeat was because the terrorism of the Church of Volkruss and the reaction of the army was late?

Masaki: Those guys... We haven't seen them for a long time because they joined hands with Omgared!

Ryune: Gaen, when you belong to them, is Omgared linked to the Church of Volkruss?

Gaen: I don't know. I'm only one person in the execution group. I only know originally the boss has direct control of the society's internals.

Ryune: The secretiveness of the internals...?

Xenia: Just the information of the Church of Volkruss... is difficult no matter how hard I investigate. There is also Dihigo on the other side.

Guido: We can't receive Ahmed's help?

Xenia: Right... More or less, since he has a connection with even Christoph, there are chances that we can obtain something...

Fang: Then, I'll request an investigation on the Church of Volkruss from Ahmed.

Xenia: Yeah, please.

Masaki: By the way, what is the other news?

Wagener: The south said they want a peace treaty with the north.

Masaki: Now, with this timing?

Wagener: Omgared is a skilled person. Right now, I think the north will accept it even if it contains very favorable conditions for the South.

Tsrein: Isn't it good if there is peace?

Masaki: ...Things ain't that simple. Use your head a bit. Do you think the north who has linked with the Church of Volkruss will always be quiet?

Tsrein: Uh... It is so but, but, it is better than non-stop war right?

Wendy: ...Even if that became the main cause inviting a more severe war?

Tsrein: You can't declare how such a thing will become.

Masaki: We also were invited to the adjustment conference of the peace treaty.

Ryune: Yeah. We have to confirm Omgared's real intention. 

#Scene 444#

Masaki: This place has become the standard location to discuss peace.

Elsine: Welcome, everyone of Antilles Corp.

Masaki: Hi, you participate as a witness again?

Elsine: No... This time I participate in the position to push forward the peace treaty.

Masaki: Push forward... You are on the same side as the south!?

Elsine: I don't plan to ally with either the north or the south. I only wish for peace for the people in poverty.

Yanglong: Idealism as usual.

Elsine: Because that's my belief.

Yanglong: Fu... Our stubborness is the same.

Elsine: Yeah.

Gaen: Sh! Be quiet. We're being targeted.

Masaki: What!?

Gaen: Don't react. Pretend not to realize.

Masaki: ...Sniping?

Gaen: Yeah. But not Deming this time. This feeling is... Wolf.

Masaki: What shall we do?

Gaen: The one being aimed is Elsine. But we can leave her alone.

Masaki: Nonsense! How could we do that!?

Gaen: ...After all you can only deal with the things before your eyes.

Masaki: That is an ordinary human right! You…!? Gaen!? You…

Gaen: ...I missed.

Masaki: wth were you doing suddenly...? You shot Wulf?

Gaen: At this distance, hitting the target without scope is a most difficult task.

Masaki: This sound is... Masouki!

Gaen: It is Wulf's Reisouki. Look like he got other companies along too.

Masaki: Damn, we'll also sortie! 

---------------------------------
Stage 35: The north and the south
---------------------------------

#Scene 445 (Map)#

Masaki: Damn, that idiot again!

Wendy: That Reisouki is…

Xenia: A new model... I feel a bit unpleasant.

Eric: Wulf-san. Can you also give me a Borwin?

Wulf: I don't mind but... You want to die?

Eric: Eh? What do you mean?

Wulf: Borwin eats human's spirit. An ordinary person can't deal with it.

Eric: What are you saying? The person over there is riding it right?

Volkruss follower: U... uu...Uaaaaaah!!

Evil soul: Uooo... uu...

Eric: ...He is dead?

Wulf: Yeah, he became a mere evil soul. 10 minutes... Well, good endurance.

Eric: Screw it, I don't need that.

Wulf: Smart.

Eric: ...Ah, what do you mean by that?

Wulf: I said you're smart.

Eric: H-hey! You heard it, Znero!

Znero: Yes, boss! I heard plenty!

Eric: You are the first person to say I'm smart!! Wulf-san!

Wulf: Really? I'm glad.

Eric: I decided! Wulf-san... No, Wulf bro! I'll follow you for the rest of my life!

Wulf: ...Do as you like.

Eric: I'm grateful, Wulf bro! Well, you rascals! Kill all bastards stand in Wulf bro's way!!

Xenia: ...They have created a terrible Masouki.

Wendy: ...Unforgivable.

Masaki: Sortie! 

*Znero defeated*

Znero: ...Boss is also somewhat soft-hearted. 

*Eric defeated*

Eric: Damn, this time I made light of you but this won't happen next time! 

*Wulf defeated*

Wulf: Hmph... It seems I can't draw out the best ability of Borwin yet. This was the result. 

[Masaki vs Eric]

Eric: I'll kill the one that opposes Wulf bro!!

Masaki: This guy is truly simple-minded…

Shiro: Masaki's word is worthy in this case. 

[Masaki vs Wulf]

Masaki: You sneakily kill people at the back! You only use cowardly methods!

Wulf: Hmm, that is effective evidence since you rage that much. 

[Mio vs Eric]

Mio: Even though you're a villain, you're a type completely being deceived by an imposter? In the olden days such a thing happened right?

Eric: What!? How did you know... N, no, that is no trick! I still believe!

Mio: Ah, now I know. Everyone who was deceived by the imposter talked so. 

[Mio vs Wulf]

Mio: You make light of people's life!

Wulf: I'm not interested in the life of others. That's all. 

[Ryune vs Eric]

Ryune: You completely gave in just because you're being praised as smart.

Eric: What! I respect Wulf bro who approved me!

Ryune: ...Well, I can't speak for others since the same thing happened to me. 

[Ryune vs Wulf]

Ryune: You people' way of doing things is mean!

Wulf: Deal with things in a polished way and fail is meaningless right? 

[Xenia vs Wulf]

Xenia: Reisouki Borwin seems more compatible than Jiwen. 

[Guido vs Wulf]

Guido: Your way of doing lacks intelligence.

Wulf: Intelligence? You are a man that says strange things. 

#Scene 446#

Elsine: There is no word to describe my gratitude for being saved by you so many times.

Masaki: ...Then, please stop helping Omgared.

Elsine: I don't preach peace for one politician. I only want to rescue all the people suffering from wars.

Ryune: Although you say so, if you negotiate peace by that condition just now, soon it will become war again.

Elsine: Even if it is so, peace is precious. And, peace can touch people's hearts.

Wagener: Hmm, you think Omgared will change his mind and become pacifist?

Elsine: Is there a person who wishes for war from the bottom of his heart?

Masaki: There aren't only good people in the world.

Elsine: I acknowledged that. However, if we do our best to make a speech, we can touch their heart.

Yanglong: You don't plan to cancel the harmony speech?

Elsine: My determination doesn't change.

Ryune: Even if there are people in front of you that don't change their thinking after listening to your words?

Elsine: Because you are soldiers, that's fine.

Yanglong: You don't think that you're just being used by Omgared?

Elsine: Even Mr.Omgared can't overlook public opinion. I’m only inspiring the people.

Masaki: ...Understood. But we can't let you continue by yourself. We must provide you a bodyguard.

Yanglong: Then, I'll do it.

Masaki: Eh? Yanglong? You quarrelled with Elsine before right?

Yanglong: I accept that our opinion is different but it doesn't mean we cannot coexist.

Masaki: Really?

Elsine: Yes, I also have faith in Yanglong on that matter.

Masaki: Well, if you say so then it's fine.

Ryune: ...Those two get along in a strange way, don’t they?

Masaki: Eh? How?

Ryune: No, I don't know... I just somehow noticed it.

Masaki: It can't be. There is no such thing. It is that straight-laced Yanglong. 

#Scene 447#

Elsine: Thank you for escorting me, Yanglong-sama.

Yanglong: That is our duty.

Elsine: Then, from here I'll…

Yanglong: ...Wait. Hide behind me.

Elsine: Eh?

Yanglong: A murderous ki. I fear the one being targeted is you.

Elsine: The door of the church is right there. If we run and get inside…

Yanglong: ...I see. The distance is around 10 meters... Can we make it?

Elsine: We have to try.

Yanglong: Then, you go first. I'll follow after.

Elsine: But, in that situation Yanglong-sama himself will…

Yanglong: Don't worry. That's how a bodyguard should act. There is no room for hesitation. Because I don't plan to commit suicide together with you.

Elsine: ...Understood.

Yanglong: Um... You prepared?...Now!

Elsine: Yes!

Yanglong: Well!

Elsine: Yanglong-sama, hurry!

Yanglong: I know! 

#Scene 448#

Elsine: Haa... Phew... Are you alright, Yanglong-sama?

Yanglong: Yeah, I'm fine.

Elsine: Because there is a barrier inside the church, those guys can't follow.

Yanglong: Really? Then I'm relieved.

Elsine: !? Yanglong-sama! The wound on your cheek…

Yanglong: Ah, well, it is not serious. Somehow the bullet touched slightly.

Elsine: Wait a little. I'll examine the wound.

Yanglong: It’s not a big deal. It is just a scratch...Ugh?

Elsine: Ah, as I thought. It was a magic bullet.

Yanglong: Magic bullet?

Elsine: Yes, it is a bullet that contains magic that can cause death by stealing prana and stamina, just by causing a scratch. It is dangerous if we leave it like that. For now I'll resolve the spell. Stay still.

Yanglong: ...Got it.

Elsine: Then, sorry for being rude...

Yanglong: !? Wait. What are you planning to do?

Elsine: I'll resolve the spell.

Yanglong: Why do you move your face so close to mine?

Elsine: Sorry. To deal with this type of magic, it is necessary to send prana.

Yanglong: ...By mouth?

Elsine: Yes. If you don't like it, I'll call another nun…

Yanglong: No, I don't mind. It is a necessary treatment right? Please continue.

Elsine: Understood.

Yanglong: …

Elsine: … ...You should be fine by this point. The wound is healed.

Yanglong: Yeah, the pain also disappeared. Thank you, I took your time.

Elsine: No, that is a natural thing for protecting me and was injured.

Yanglong: But I reconsidered. I've thought you were all talking but, you also have guts.

Elsine: Yanglong-sama also, you risked your life to protect me who has different opinions.

Yanglong: I already said before. That's my duty.

Elsine: Then, helping Yanglong-sama is also my task.

Yanglong: Fu... We put our heart into mutual work.

Elsine: Fufu... Yeah, that's right.

Church bodyguard: Yanglong-sama, Elsine-sama, are you alright?

Elsine: You are the guard?

Church bodyguard: Yes. The assassin who aims for you two currently is on the loose but, nearby is already safe. We increased the number of troops.

Elsine: Thank you for your hard work.

Church bodyguard: No, we endangered you since we've committed an oversight on the defense.

Yanglong: Don't mind much. It is fine so long as you don't repeat the same failure.

Church bodyguard: Yes, we'll be careful hereafter!

Elsine: …

Yanglong: ? What's wrong?

Elsine: Ah, no... I was surprised since I thought Yanglong-sama was a rather stricter person.

Yanglong: The assassin some time ago is very skillful. I didn't even notice the murderous ki until the last moment. Expecting more from those guys is severe right?

Elsine: ...Yeah. Then because I've to prepare for the speech, please excuse me.

Yanglong: ...No, wait. I can't guarantee the same thing won't happen again. Until the speech is finished just to be sure, let me protect you.

Elsine: Eh? But, are you sure that is not a bother?

Yanglong: I said I put my heart into work right? Or are you uneasy with my protection?

Elsine: No, it was heaven-sent. I'm happy to accept it, Yanglong-sama.

Yanglong: Yeah, I'll serve you with my best effort. 

#Scene 449#

Becky: Oh dear, in the end a peace was established?

Simone: Because the speech. Elsine certainly has persuasive power. Well, it can't be wrong that it was established.

Jino: It can't be helped. The feeling of war-weariness spreads among people because of this continuation of war.

Roselie: I don't understand well their feelings but... But, the people of the south have a fair amount of belief in Omgared.

Jino: Because Omgared doesn't appear to the public much. So to speak, he is the shadow president.

Ryune: It is the most treacherous method. I hate that sort of guy very much!

Jino: Don't take responsibility and abuse authority? Typical treacherous subject.

Roselie: Do you think Elsine is made to reform Omgared?

Becky: I bet on excessive methods.

Simone: Me too.

Ryune: Concur.

Becky: Ryune betting means the odds of winning are nearly 1.

Mio: Hey, hey! You heard it?

Becky: What, suddenly? Something happened?

Mio: On the net. They're streaming strange news.

Roselie: Strange?

Mio: Some time ago, Elsine-san was almost being killed right?

Simone: She is often being aimed.

Mio: I heard there is a person that requested the assassination.

Roselie: Assassination request? That urban legend?

Mio: I also thought like that. Like requesting a type G13 tractor.

Hakkai: Master, that example is only understood by otaku.

Mio: Is that so? But I think it is very famous…Well, leaving that aside, the client is an unexpected person.

Roselie: Stop putting dancing around and quickly tell us.

Mio: Brigadier general Akraid Barom of north Shutedonias.

Jino: That is fake. I'm sure he isn't the type of person who did such a thing. Foremost, I can't think he is linked to the Church of Volkruss.

Mio: Well, that's true but…But, as such rumors get played, Akraid is being driven to the wall don't you think?

Jino: Hmm, I see... There is such misinformation…

Roselie: It seems the north has to deal with various serious problems. 

#Scene 450#

Masaki: You said there was a written invitation from Elsine?

Wagener: Yeah, before the signing ceremony of the peace treaty, she wants to clear up the feeling of antagonism with us.

Masaki: The feeling of antagonism... I mean, it is a mere parallel line with another?

Tsrein: Good right? Because we can meet Elsine-sama.

Masaki: You're carefree.

Ryune: Masaki, you’re worried?

Masaki: Well, I don't know if I'm worried or not... When I meet Elsine, I feel an itch on the back of my neck.

Tyutti: Masaki, that also happened to you?

Masaki: You too, Tyutti?

Tyutti: Yeah, maybe my affinity with the elemental is bad. Yanglong didn't feel anything?

Yanglong: I felt some unease more or less but, it is not to the extent I should care about.

Ryune: ...Yanglong turned soft on Elsine-san?

Yanglong: It’s your imagination.

Masaki: It wasn't like that in the beginning. Recently when I met that woman immediately I can't draw out my best form.

Shiro: Because the Nestorian sect Curius school is a sect that treats elemental as God's reincarnation, they deny elemental.

Masaki: What, so that's it.

Charian: ...What does it mean that the familiar is rather more intelligent?

Masaki: Shut up.

Yanglong: Anyhow, since we received the invitation, there is no reason to reject it.

Masaki: Right... Let's prepare to greet her. 

#Scene 451#

Elsine: Everyone, thank you for accepting my invitation. I can't do big service but, please make yourself at home.

Wagener: Thank you for inviting us.

Masaki: Is the guard alright?

Elsine: Yeah, indeed if such a thing happened even 3 times, I had the guards pay attention to the surroundings.

Saphine: Despite that, I smoothly passed through.

Masaki: What... You... Saphine!?

Yanglong: From where did you get in!?

Saphine: With this kind of magic barrier, a practitioner can get in easily.

Masaki: You... What did you come here for!?

Saphine: I need a reason to come to visit my big sister?

Masaki: Sister...?

Saphine: Long time no see, Sister.

Elsine: Yeah, true. You don't have the influence of Volkruss anymore huh?

Saphine: Yes, thanks to you I’m completely better.

Masaki: You two... are sisters seriously?

Saphine: I said so right?

Masaki: Don't tell me... Elsine is also a Volkruss believer!?

Saphine: Of course not. I joined the Church of Volkruss because of Shu-sama. My sister wasn’t related.

Yanglong: That's true?

Saphine: You are stubborn, Yanglong.

Elsine: Thank you for worrying about me. But, like Saphine said, I'm not a Volkruss believer.

Yanglong: I see…

Saphine: But, Sister. You’ve become thin? And your face also isn't good…

Yanglong: Ah, I also noticed it. Are you tired?

Elsine: No, I'm fine. Certainly teh fatigue has been piling up due to my new duties. It is embarrassing but, the neglect of health of a doctor or...However, because a travelling medical magician did a wonderful treatment for me, now I feel fine.

Saphine: Travelling medical magician?

Elsine: Yeah. If I remember correctly his name is... Yeah right, he is Satils-sama.

Masaki: Satils!?

Elsine: You know him?

Yanglong: Satils is an archbishop of the Church of Volkruss. It is strange that you said he acted as a healer. Perhaps he did something strange to you. We should investigate once.

Elsine: Well... A person of the Church of Volkruss?

Saphine: Sister, after you received that technique have there been any strange symptoms?

Elsine: Now you mention it... Sometimes my head feels dazed, I have had a little lost time.

Saphine: That symptom is... Don't tell me... The controlling thaumaturgy?

Yanglong: Controlling thaumaturgy? What is that?

Saphine: It is powerful hypnotism! This is bad! We must quickly remove the spell!

Yanglong: You can?

Saphine: ...I can't. But Shu-sama can do something about it.

Masaki: Damn, we end up relying on him again. But, necessity knows no law. That's the only choice we have.

????: Too bad, I can't let you do that.

Masaki: !? Who!?

Satils: You forgot me?

Masaki: !? Satils!!

Yanglong: How dare you nonchalantly appear. You plan to fight all of us?

Satils: Even without that I can achieve my goal. Well, wake up, Elsine-sama!

Elsine: !? Ugh... Aah…

Yanglong: Elsine!?

Elsine: ...Don't come near.

Yanglong: !?

Elsine: I, now... My body and soul belong to Volkruss-sama…

Yanglong: Satils!! You bastard... It is your handiwork!?

Satils: Correct. Well, Elsine-sama, come here.

Elsine: Yes…

Yanglong: Wait! Elsine!!

Elsine: Don't touch me. If you make a move, I'll end my own life with this knife.

Yanglong: What...!?

Saphine: Sister!

Masaki: Elsine!! Don’t be controlled!! Return to your true self!!

Saphine: ...Useless. No matter how hard you yell your words won't reach her. To remove the spell even a skillful caster needs time.

Elsine: Everyone, stay where you are. If you move, I’ll do it…

Masaki: Shit... U-understood.

Elsine: Then, everyone, farewell.

Satils: Fufu... Welcome, Elsine-sama.

Masaki: Satils!! What are you going to do to Elsine!?

Satils: This person has plenty of use to me. But, I'm taking the trouble to inform you. Then, let's go, Elsine-sama.

Elsine: Yes.

Masaki: Shit! They escaped!!

Ryune: Hringhorni! Can you hear me!? Quickly come to the church!

Masaki: !! Nagzert!?

Yanglong: There are also Reisoukis…

Ryune: Hringhorni came! Let's sortie!!

Saphine: Let me help you. I've to save Sister.

Yanglong: Sorry, I’m relying on you.

Saphine: ? That isn't the way Yanglong speaks normally. You'd always say Do as you like. Well, it's no big deal. 

----------------
Stage 36: Elsine 
----------------

#Scene 452 (Map)#

Satils: Well, then Elsine-sama. Please show me your skill.

Elsine: ...Yes.

Masaki: What... The one riding that Reisouki is Elsine!?

Yanglong: How dare you... Coward...

Ryune: What shall we do? This matter requires delicacy!

Wagener: We mustn't inflict harm to Elsine-sama. All members, please refrain from attacking Elsine-sama.

Mio: Even if you say so, what will we do with the MAP weapons?

Wagener: Just this time, you mustn't use MAP weapons that can't discriminate between friend and foe.

Saphine: I'm sure there is a way to rescue her if we can get to Satils who is using the technique!

Yanglong: Um. Concentrate on targeting Satils! 

*Yanglong persuades Elsine*

Yanglong: Elsine! Wake up! The strength of your will is stronger than this!

Elsine: Yanglong-sama... It is useless. In my current state, your words won't reach me.

Yanglong: Shit... No progress!

Lang Xiao: Master!? Why are you…

Yanglong: Can you hear me, Elsine!! I wanna talk face-to-face with you!!

Elsine: ...Yanglong-sama. You do absurd things.

Yanglong: Elsine! Listen directly to my voice! And, touch me! If you do that, I'm sure you'll get back your memory!

Elsine: I can't do that.

Yanglong: Why not!?

Elsine: ...Goodbye, Yanglong-sama.

Yanglong: Shit... It doesn't work!?

Elsine: ...Satils-sama, I feel a bit unwell. Could you allow me to retreat?

Satils: Hmm, alright. Because there is hope that we can use you.

Elsine: Then, excuse me. 

[Masaki vs Elsine]

Elsine: Fufufu…

Masaki: Shit! Wake up, Elsine! 

[Yanglong vs Satils]

Yanglong: Satils! Cure Elsine!

Satils: What makes you think I'll do that?

Yanglong: Indeed... Then, I could only beat you! 

[Yanglong vs Elsine]

Elsine: Yanglong-sama, prepare.

Yanglong: Stop! Elsine! 

[Yanglong vs enemy]

Yanglong: Don't stand in my way, disappear from this place!! I don't have spare time to deal with you! 

[Saphine vs Elsine]

Elsine: Swear your loyalty to Volkruss-sama one more time.

Saphine: Sister... There are times that I can't listen to you, even if it is Sister's word! 

[Saphine vs Satils]

Saphine: Return Sister to her normal self, you garbage!

Satils: Even for an instant, you are rude for using such a way of speaking to an archbishop.

Saphine: You are no more than a garbage! OOOOofXXXX bastard!

Satils: ...How vulgar. 

[Saphine vs enemy]

Saphine: You're in my way! How depressing! 

*Satils defeated*

Satils: I'm done... However, because Elsine-sama is usable, I accomplished my mission. Then excuse me. 

#Scene 453#

Masaki: Shit!! After all that Elsine was kidnapped!

Yanglong: We can't track them?

Xenia: No... I'm very sorry.

Yanglong: ...I see.

Saphine: It is important to search for Sister but, have you forgotten one vital thing? The way to remove the controlling thaumaturgy.

Masaki: ...Owing Shu is what I want to avoid.

Saphine: Small-minded! Then I'll do it. Is that alright?

Masaki: Ah, no, wait. It is true that I don't like him but I haven't said I don't rely on anyone. To owe you is more dangerous than to owe Shu.

Saphine: I’m not worried about lending and borrowing! I only want to save Sister!

Masaki: ...Really? You care for your sister an unexpected amount.

Saphine: What do you mean by unexpected?

Wagener: Now now, stop quarrelling. On top of that, do you know where Christoph... No, Shu is?

Saphine: Of course.

Wagener: Then, can you guide us?

Saphine: I can't guide you to our secret base, so I'll contact Shu-sama and decide the meeting place.

Wagener: Thank you. 

#Scene 454#

Masaki: Are you serious that the signing ceremony was cancelled!?

Wagener: Yeah, I'm afraid so.

Xenia: The kidnapping of Elsine was effective. Because she was nominated, she is the one who was supposed to do the signing.

Guido: But, both sides, the north and the south won't move for a while right? We have to wait and see.

Masaki: Leaving the north aside, the south linked with the Church of Volkruss right?

Guido: We only have circumstantial evidence, nothing concrete. Moreover, the one who suggested peace is the south. With the kidnapping of Elsine time is the primary factor preventing peace, now that things have come to this, I can't guarantee that conjecture is correct or not…

Masaki: ...C-certainly it is so but…

Xenia: We must get information on how to break the curse on Elsine-san at once.

Wagener: Right. Let's wait for contact from Saphine. 

#Scene 455#

Rodney: I can't believe that lady was kidnapped just before signing…

Akraid: But well, I could say we're lucky it wasn't worse. That treaty contains very unfavorable conditions for us.

Rodney: That's correct but... It became war again? It is pretty tedious.

Akraid: I understand how you feel.

Rodney: Well, because we've worked for peace, I think neither we and the south won't move the army for a while. Ah, but because it is your issue, you already have plan for the worst case, right, brigadier general Akraid Barom?

Akraid: Ah... I forgot to mention. The truth is I plan to retire from the army.

Rodney: Why!?

Akraid: Well, I’ve received various harsh treatments, I wasn’t suited for this job from the beginning.

Rodney: What are you saying! Everyone knows your ability as a strategist! What will become of the north if you quit your position!

Akraid: There is no need to worry. My subordinates... Ah, former subordinates are plenty capable.

Rodney: ...What brought this around?

Akraid: I want to try my strength at a bigger battlefield.

Rodney: You’re advancing to the political world?

Akraid: There are a lot of limitations for being within the army's. Fortunately, soon there will be a special election of the upper house.

Rodney: It is not that I don't understand how you feel but... What is your vision? Have you joined a political party?

Akraid: For the time being I'll appear as an independent. I'll let you know my vision little by little.

Rodney: I don't doubt your patriotism but... looks like you will become my formidable rival.

Akraid: That's terrible. Of course I won't go against senator Gesha.

Rodney: For now. I'm fine since I can match your opinion. However…

Akraid: Let's leave that matter when its time has come. First we have to reunite Shutedonias as soon as possible. Moreover, with as little damage as possible.

Rodney: ...Right.

Akraid: Most of all, that's the story that I’m pursuing. Ahaha.

Rodney: By the way, there is another thing I want to discuss…

Akraid: What?

Rodney: Did you hear the story Elsine was targeted by an assassin?

Akraid: Yeah, sure.

Rodney: There is rumor that it was at your request.

Akraid: Well, I'm used to that kind of slander.

Rodney: ...Really? Well, do your best for the election.

Akraid: Yeah, I'll try my best. 

#Scene 456#

Toni: Finished coordinate input.

Bradroy: Um. Then takeoff.

Masaki: I won't forgive you if this is a trap, Saphine.

Saphine: What, you distrust me that much?

Masaki: It is wrong that I ever trusted you.

Saphine: ...It seems that you perpetually need to be spoken to as a child, boy.

Wagener: Good grief, the bridge's atmosphere turns stormy. Stop this. 

#Scene 457#

Bradroy: I'm sure this is the place but…

Holy: There is no response from the elemental radar.

Masaki: Hey, Saphine! What does this mean!

Saphine: Good grief, you are impatient. Don't be so hasty.

Coret: ! There is contact from Shu!

Saphine: See, I told you.

Masaki: ...Connect the main.

Shu: Long time no see.

Masaki: I would have been happy if we never saw each other again.

Shu: I've heard everything from Saphine. Can I have permission to ride the ship?

Masaki: You ignored me!

Wagener: Alright, I grant your request.

Holy: Elemental radar responses!! It is right near the ship!

Charian: ...He used the invisibility technique?

Saphine: Obviously, right?

Charian: Good grief... It is troublesome to deal with that technique.

Coret: Guide the Granzon to the hangar. 

#Scene 458#

Shu: Well, is the spell to end the controlling thaumaturgy even necessary?

Masaki: Eh!? Even though we came this far, what are you saying!?

Shu: I'm sorry for betraying your expectations. Maybe it is better for her if we leave things as it is for now?

Masaki: Nonsense! You didn’t even think of informing us correctly!

Shu: Well... I wonder.

Yanglong: Please. Tell us.

Masaki: H-hey, Yanglong...?

Shu: ...Oh? You bow to me, that means… I see, understood. I'll tell you. To end the controlling thaumaturgy, it is necessary to have a prana's connection with the opponent. Among the ones who can do this are Saphine and…

Saphine: Yes.

Shu: ...Yanglong, it is you.

Yanglong: Me?

Shu: Yeah, I can feel Elsine's prana from you, even if only a little. You had some contact with her?

Yanglong: Mu... The truth is she ended a curse on me.

Shu: Ah, I see. So that's it.

Masaki: Shu... How did you understand the connection of prana?

Shu: Because I studied a lot. But, curse breaker...?

Yanglong: What's wrong?

Shu: Ah, no, don't mind me. It is not a serious problem. By the way, about the method of the curse breaker. Legally speaking, the basics are to directly touch the opponent but…

Yanglong: That is hard. I fear Elsine is riding a Reisouki.

Shu: Indeed. If that's the case, we can only use the true-word-spell but… Just as I thought, to say clearly it is still unknown how far it can affect.

Yanglong: I don't mind that. I'll bet on whatever it is as long as it gives us a chance.

Shu: I'll tell you beforehand. There is absolutely no guarantee that it will go well. You're alright with that?

Yanglong: Yeah.

Shu: ...Then, I'll teach you. The necessary spells to break the curse are as follows: Abis Bisham Datanka. Repeat it two times.

Yanglong: Abis Bisham Datanka. Abis Bisham Datanka. Is that Ok?

Shu: Yeah. However, it is crucial to charge your prana and yell.

Yanglong: Charge prana in the word?

Shu: Yeah, it is called the soul of language. Words also hold the power to move substance.

Yanglong: Even if you say so, I don't know how to do it.

Shu: It is not that difficult. A Masoukishin pilot has prana filled in their words naturally. Specifically it is enough if you put emotion into it.

Yanglong: Emotion...? What kind of emotion?

Shu: Well, that depends on the relationship with the target. If a hateful opponent, use hatred. If a respected opponent, use respect. If a beloved target, use love. Simple as that.

Yanglong: ...To identify that is difficult. Between me and her such emotion is…

Shu: Not between the two. It is the feeling you have towards your opponent.

Yanglong: Mu…

Shu: Well, it is fine if you think about that after a while. More or less, just to be sure, I'll tell you the method to break the curse at the time you touch her. This one is more certain.

Yanglong: I’m relying on you.

Shu: No need for gratitude. However, I'll be in trouble being targeted by hatred if it doesn’t go well. I only give you what I know.

Yanglong: Understood.

Shu: To break the curse at the time you touch, use this magic device. If you make this touch the opponent's skin directly, it will automatically operate. Well, technically speaking, to make the opponent understand is the most effective way.

Yanglong: ...Such a small thing has that effectiveness...? A great thing.

Shu: Yeah, don't lose it. It took me one week to create that thing. Recently I just happened to have in stock but this is the last one…

Yanglong: I see... Understood. I'll be careful.

Saphine: Er, Shu-sama? My role is…

Shu: ...Saphine, you plan to travel with him?

Saphine: Yes, of course. For Sister.

Shu: I see... Then, let me ask you only one question.

Saphine: Yes, anything.

Shu: If, Elsine and I are on opposite sides in battle... Who would you follow?

Saphine: Isn't it obvious Shu-sama?

Shu: Instant reply? I see... You seem to have a stable axis. Then good. Do as you like.

Saphine: Thank you, Shu-sama.

Shu: And, like I said a while ago. The elemental device I gave Yanglong is the last one that I have. I can't pass it to you, you don't mind?

Saphine: Yes. That's a small matter.

Shu: Because I've other business to deal with, I can't travel with you guys. Is that okay?

Masaki: I don't think we’ll need your help for something like this.

Shu: Then, my job ends here. Ah, right, Yanglong.

Yanglong: Eh? What?

Shu: I hand over this to you just to be sure.

Yanglong: ? What is this? Talisman? Or a secret plan in a bag?

Shu: Well, that's about it. If possible you should keep it close to you.

Yanglong: Hmm... Understood. I'll take it.

Masaki: Hey hey, are you serious, Yanglong?

Yanglong: At this late hour Shu won't use underhanded methods. He can be trusted.

Masaki: ...Well, I won't complain if you vouch for him.

Xenia: Bad news!

Masaki: Oh! What, suddenly!?

Xenia: Turn on the holo-tv! It is big news!

Masaki: Understood. Because I understood, calm down. Now I'll turn on the switch.

Elsine: ...Saving fellow countrymen under suppression is our duty and right. We can't surrender to unreasonable violence.

Yanglong: Elsine... What does this mean?

Masaki: The speech of Elsine who is surely being controlled by Satils… That woman is being made to speak by Satils!?

Xenia: But she said the content of the speech is to stop the persecution of Curius school that occurred in the north… This is a big objection against the north.

Yanglong: In other words, she is making a speech to give the south advantage?

Xenia: Yeah. As I thought, it looks like there is a connection between the south and the Church of Volkruss.

Yanglong: You know the source of the news?

Xenia: No, I can't specify the point. However, because it seems like a live broadcast, if we do a 3D scan of the scenery and compare with the image from the airship, maybe we can refine it to a certain degree…

Shu: No need, I know the place.

Yanglong: Truly!? Shu!

Shu: Yeah, I remember that scenery. It is near the Volkruss temple that I investigated before.

Yanglong: Where is that place!?

Shu: I don't mind telling you, but with only one condition.

Yanglong: I'm listening. We'll accept your offer if it is something we can manage.

Shu: I want you to look after Saphine carefully.

Saphine: Eh?

Masaki: What do you mean? Certainly she is a troublesome woman but she isn't one we have to look after.

Shu: I didn't mean that. I'm asking you to not abandon her.

Yanglong: That weariness is needless. We won't abandon our ally.

Masaki: As long as she doesn't betray us suddenly.

Saphine: I won't do such a thing. Until I saved Sister.

Shu: Then, we have a deal. Wait a bit. I'll transfer the coordinates of the place to storage. ...It is finished. Here.

Yanglong: Thank you.

Shu: No need for gratitude. As long as you keep your promise, I don't mind.

Yanglong: Yeah, we promise.

Shu: Well, I’ve visited this place for too long. Then…

Saphine: Shu-sama, please be careful with Monica while I’m not with you.

Shu: Fu... I hope you don't push yourself too. Bye.

Yanglong: Xenia-sama, please pass that storage to Holy and establish the coordinate. I'll do a last check of Granvale.

Xenia: Eh? I'm alright with that but... How about the briefing?

Yanglong: Now, we've to give priority to action. Even while we're transfering we can do a briefing.

Xenia: Well, that's true but... Are you in a rush, Yanglong?

Yanglong: ...There is no rush. Excuse me.

Masaki: ...No matter how I look at it he is rushing. That guy has been acting strange recently.

Xenia: Right…

Saphine: *singing*

Masaki: Ah, hey, Saphine! Don't wander as you like!

Saphine: What, it doesn't matter, does it?

Masaki: Nonsense! There are secret private places. Don't move around selfishly.

Saphine: I can't enter such a place?

Xenia: You can enter the security areas more or less but, because it isn't what I created it is still a bit easy-going. It seems you are also very strong on hacking, your movement needs to be restricted.

Saphine: Jailers! Give me freedom!

Masaki: Shut up! If you did an awkward thing, we won't know what will happen right?

Saphine: Whipping torture? 100 whipping? Come with all your strength.

Masaki: ...I'll let Yanglong preach you.

Saphine: Ugh... Please spare me from that. 

#Scene 459#

Bradroy: The coordinate position isn't wrong?

Toni: Yes, it is perfectly matched.

Charian: The response on the elemental radar?

Holy: No.

Charian: If the opponent is the Church of Volkruss, they seem to use the technique of invisibility.

Holy: Ah! There is a response on the elemental radar! It is just nearby!

Wagener: They were here as we thought. All members, go to your battle position. 

-----------------------------------
Stage 37: The cold ashes burn again
-----------------------------------

#Scene 460 (Map)#

Satils: You came earlier than I thought.

Yanglong: Elsine! Are you here!?

Elsine: Yeah, Yanglong-sama. I'm here.

Mio: As I thought, we can't fight Elsine-san as usual?

Wagener: Yeah, correct. If she dies, chaos will ensue.

Saphine: Yanglong! We two must find a way to return Sister to her true self!

Yanglong: Yeah, I know. First we'll start with you, Saphine.

Saphine: Leave it to me! 

*Saphine persuades Elsine*

Saphine: Sister! I'll wake you up!

Elsine: Saphine... That isn't necessary.

Saphine: You only were tricked! Abis Bisham Datanka! Abis Bisham Datanka!

Elsine: That true word is... the curse breaker… Damn…

Saphine: Sister!!

Elsine: U... useless, Saphine. Even if you do that…

Saphine: Shit... As I thought I can't do it alone… Yanglong, I leave the rest to you!!

Yanglong: Understood! 

*Yanglong persuades Elsine*

Yanglong: Elsine, do you recognize me!?

Elsine: Yes, of course, Yanglong-sama.

Yanglong: Then, return to your true self for me! Abis Bisham Datanka! Abis Bisham Datanka!

Elsine: Hmm... The words charged by the prana of his soul…

Yanglong: Elsine!!

Elsine: Ugh... I…

Yanglong: If I fail once, I'll repeat as many times as needed until it works! Elsine!!

Elsine: ...Yanglong-sama, I…

????: I'll take the next part of the story.

Yanglong: Don't interfere!!

Greps: That's my line. Ah, my name is Greps Bobard. I'm a bishop of the Church of Volkruss.

Yanglong: I don't care about your name! I'm saying don't interfere!

Greps: I understand your angry mind for being interrupted during such enthusiastic talk but, I have my own reason. I can't let you do what you like. Because of that reason, Elsine-sama. I suggest you temporarily retreat.

Elsine: ...I…

Greps: Elsine-sama!!

Elsine: ...Got it. I'll withdraw.

Yanglong: Elsine!!

Greps: I said I won't let you do what you like right? Your opponent is me.

Yanglong: Damn you... 

*Greps defeated*

Greps: Damn... I can't defeat Antilles Corp if I fight them directly...? I've to think of some kind of plan. 

[Yanglong vs Greps]

Yanglong: You bastard! Just a bit more and I'll...!!

Greps: That's why, you stand in our way.

Yanglong: Damn you! 

[Saphine vs Greps]

Greps: The crimson Saphine also fades.

Saphine: How arrogant! You are a petty person, even though you're a bishop.

Greps: ...You'll be in trouble if you think I'm the same as before! 

[Saphine vs enemy]

Saphine: I don't have time to fight you! Step back from there! 

#Scene 461#

Wagener: ...It is a pity that we couldn't rescue Elsine-sama.

Yanglong: ...That time, if we weren’t interrupted…

Masaki: That spell is really effective?

Saphine: Since Sister seemed to wince, it can't be mistaken that there is an effect.

Yanglong: But, we lacked the decisive blow. As I thought it is best to use the elemental device directly…

Saphine: But, it is very hard to meet her directly now. Different from before, it looks like Satils will always be beside her.

Xenia: Also the guy called Greps.

Gaen: You forgot Wulf. That guy is tough.

Saphine: Right... I've competed with Wulf in the past but I don't want a second time.

Gaen: Oh... You lost?

Saphine: I didn't! Just that before it was settled, I retreated.

Gaen: So you lost.

Saphine: Shut up! You're just an underling. Don't be impertinent!

Gaen: You and I already quit the Church of Volkruss. What is the point of rank here?

Saphine: I thought that you're reticent but you are a glib talker. If you like, let's clearly discriminate the pecking order here now.

Wagener: Yes yes, stop here. Good grief, Saphine-san creates too much trouble.

Saphine: A quiet life is boring right?

Wagener: I like calmness.

Saphine: A boring man. Wagener only has a good outward appearance.

Wagener: I'm fine being labelled a boring man. So stop causing trouble. Or else…

Saphine: Oh? You think of punishing me? Ufufu…

Wagener: I'll have Yanglong preach to you.

Saphine: Even you said the same thing!!

Wagener: Um, you heard it from Masaki. Certainly the result seems excellent.

Yanglong: ...I want you to not use me selfishly.

Saphine: ...Understood. I'll be obedient as much as I can since you guys also want to save Sister like me.

Wagener: Um, it helps us a lot that you do so.

Yanglong: Let's return to the main question. We have to find some way to meet directly with Elsine?

Masaki: Even we knew that…

Tyutti: Thinking from the situation now, it can only be described as hard.

Wendy: All doors closed…

Ryune: I think we should take some time to think of an idea for that moment.

Wagener: Yeah, right. Ryune's suggestion is logical. We'll be temporarily dismissed and briefed again later.

Yanglong: ...But it isn't a situation saying such carefree things.

Tyutti: Yanglong... I understand how you feel but you're too impatient.

Yanglong: ...Understood.

Wagener: Then, the meeting today ends here. Thank you for your hard work. 

#Scene 462#

Saphine: H~mph... Oh, what is this?

Zash: Aah! Don't touch it selfishly!

Saphine: You are sensitive.

Zash: You have too much freedom.

Saphine: If I remember correctly, you're Kirkus' son right?

Zash: Yeah, right but... why are you asking?

Saphine: Hmm, you two don't look alike very much.

Zash: I'm often being told I look like my mother… Hey, w-w-w-w-why do you approach me like that!?

Saphine: Because I can see your face properly right?

Zash: My face isn't particularly interesting to watch!

Saphine: No, I don't think so. Very cute look.

Zash: S, ssssstop! I already have Ryune-san in my heart!

Saphine: ? Ryune is, that Ryune?

Zash: What do you mean by that?

Saphine: You are a maniac. Bluntly, that girl is madly in love with Masaki right?

Zash: That doesn't relate to me!

Saphine: What, you stated definitively. I see, you have a little backbone.

Zash: Don't misjudge me.

Saphine: By the way, how far do you plan to follow me?

Zash: Because I've the duty to watch over you, I'll follow you anywhere.

Saphine: Oh really? I have to go to the toilet now. You'll even follow me inside?

Zash: Eeh!? N- no, that far is... I-I will wait outside.

Saphine: Oh, I don't mind. Let's enter together.

Zash: Don't tease me…

Charian: A notice to all members. An urgent event occurred. Gather at the briefing room at once.

Zash: A call? I wonder what happened… Let's hurry, Saphine-san!

Saphine: Wait, before that let me go to the toilet first!

Zash: Aah! R-right. G-go ahead. 

#Scene 463#

Wagener: So all members have gathered?

Tyutti: But I didn't see Zash and Saphine…

Zash: Sorry! We're late!

Saphine: Good grief, let me go to the toilet at ease.

Wagener: Um, take a seat you two. Then, I'll explain the situation. A coup occurred at south Shutedonias.

Masaki: Coup!? At this time!?

Simone: You know the mastermind?

Guido: Yeah. It is Omgared.

Masaki: Omgared!? What is that bastard planning!?

Demeksa: Strange... I'm sure Omgared was the president's aid?

Guido: Yeah, right.

Demeksa: I think he grasped plenty of authority in the back-end with that position… He wasn't satisfied with that much? He did a very daring thing.

Guido: There is a reason. The truth is Elsine declared to officially support Omgared.

Yanglong: Elsine!?

Guido: If he uses Elsine's popularity, even if the coup happened, he can win the human heart right away… Such calculation is effective.

Xenia: So it is clear. The south has joined hands with the Church of Volkruss.

Guido: Yeah, just this time, I completely agree with that opinion. Well, to say exactly, not the south, but Omgared.

Masaki: Either case we can't leave them alone! Let's quickly head to the capital of the south!

Wagener: Um, but. This time we also can't move.

Masaki: Eh? Why!? We could do that at the time the north and the south fight right?

Wagener: Since at that time there was a decision of the Federation. Specifically the Federation approved the independence of both the north and the south. Because we're originally an international arbitration organization, if the fellows from the same country fight, we can act right away. However, the problem this time is the domestic affair of the south to the utmost. If we do an intervention, it is merely an attack.

Masaki: So you say we have to leave them alone!?

Wagener: Now now, don't get flustered. If we combine the materials until now, we can prove that Omgared linked with the Church of Volkruss. If we do that we can present a case to the Federation, receive the decision and antagonize.

Yanglong: ...How long does it take to do that?

Wagener: Um, I see. It takes exactly 1 day.

Masaki: That is too slow!

Yanglong: ...Concurred. We should move right now.

Wagener: Too bad but I can't accept your opinions as a representative. Antilles Corp is an organization following international law. It is different from Masoukishin pilots like you.

Masaki: Eh? Wait a bit, that way of speaking…

Wagener: Please don't let me repeat again. Because I'm not in the right position to answer your question.

Tyutti: ...Let's think a bit. This is the last method to the most.

Yanglong: ... 

#Scene 464#

Satils: Congrats for being installed as president.

Omgared: Thank you. Thanks to your cooperation. But, you came here wearing that?

Satils: Of course not. Nothing more boorish than walking through the street in this uniform. I used the transfer technique.

Omgared: Then good but... Don't forget. Our cooperation must not be leaked outside.

Satils: For that, we must put an end to Antilles Corp.

Omgared: Yeah, sooner or later, we must settle with them. Is it true that you found a way to deal with them?

Satils: The opponent that they fought extremely hard until now. Who do you think we are?

Omgared: ...I see, so there is achievement. But, I've no intention of joining the Church of Volkruss. Is that even Ok?

Satils: Before the power of Volkruss-sama, the existence or non-existence of belief isn't a big problem. Volkruss-sama gives his power to all things with no distinction.

Omgared: I don't doubt your word but I want guarantees. Because there is a precedent called Kirkus.

Satils: Kirkus after all, died without borrowing Volkruss-sama's power. You can't say that is a precedent. Moreover I haven't taken the remaining contract money. Because I don't plan to destroy our cooperation until that ends.

Omgared: ...Understood, good then. Can you teach me that method?

Satils: Then, please go to the temple.

Omgared: ...We can't do it here?

Satils: It is a sacred ritual.

Omgared: Alright, it will take me a bit of time. 

#Scene 465#

Masaki: Yanglong is late.

Tyutti: It is rare that he is late.

Mio: Until some time ago, he was together with me in the resting room.

Xenia: Eh? A, wait a bit. It is the news from the bridge. Rotate the main.

Coret: Urgent situation! Granvale departed without permission!

Masaki: Yanglong!? He did well!

Coret: What should we do?

Wagener: ...We can't stop him. Yanglong is a Masoukishin pilot.

Masaki: I'll also go!

Tyutti: What are you saying, Masaki. What are you planning to do?

Masaki: Isn't it clear... I'll help him...

Tyutti: Aside from Saphine, none of us would be able to help him if we go right?

Masaki: Ugh…

Tyutti: Saphine, you won't go?

Saphine: ...I'm game but, I'll leave it to Yanglong. Since he holds the only elemental device. Moreover…

Tyutti: Moreover?

Saphine: ...Nothing. On top of that, what will we do?

Wagener: I presented the case to the Federation but it will take time until the decision is given.

Masaki: So, we stand still?

Wagener: Um, I'm afraid so…

Guido: The decision will be given today?

Xenia: Now I'm watching the broadcast in real time but... It looks unlikely.

Masaki: Something happened?

Xenia: The ambassador of Langran seems to go into opposition.

Fang: Langran!? What does it mean?

Xenia: He claimed that the evidence material is not to be trusted.

Fang: If they do such a thing, it is just as Omgared expected right!?

Wagener: Um, because there are a lot of problems in the government's internals now. There are lots of people who aren't pleased with our relation to the event this time.

Fang: It is inexcusable to tell the importance of the country by such a thing!

Masaki: ...Representative, we can't act without the decision of the Federation whatever the case?

Wagener: The one can't act is the Antilles Corp. But, well…

Masaki: Well?

Wagener: It doesn't mean that there is no other method.

Masaki: Seriously!?

Wagener: Before that, I want affirmation from the three persons: Masaki, Tyutti, Mio. You guys aren't against to overturn the coup of the south and rescue Elsine-sama?

Masaki: Yeah, of course!

Tyutti: I'm not against.

Mio: I can't leave it alone.

Wagener: Roger. From now, Antilles Corp will act as a support facility for the Masoukishin pilots.

Tyutti: A... The 3rd article 2nd paragraph of Antilles Corp's principle, the rules of the Federation…

Wagener: Right. In contrast to the fact that the Masoukishin pilots are judged to have found a threat of the whole world, the Antilles Corp will assist by all power. At that time, all the authorities of Antilles Corp were entrusted to Masoukishin pilots and it became a support facility. The head council by that time is dismissed and immediately to be out of duty.

Tyutti: But, the applying of that clause is…

Wagener: Isn't it cheap being able to rescue the world with my unemployment?

Masaki: Unemployment... Representative, you become a man without a position!?

Wagener: Yeah, if I am being told like that, somewhat I feel sad.

Tyutti: Is that Ok, Representative?

Wagener: I'm not a representative anymore. From now on you three utilize Antilles Corp by your own power.

Guido: One kind of declaration of emergency case?

Masaki: ...Understood. From now on Antilles Corp will be put under our Masoukishin pilots' control. Quickly move to the capital of the south Shutedonias Nemibea, defeat Omgared and rescue Elsine!

Charian: Roger. I will transmit that to Captain.

Mio: Wagener-san gets things done when it's necessary.

Wagener: Thank you.

Mio: Don't worry about your salary. Since I also have savings, I'll recruit you to a fundraising campaign.

Wagener: I'm glad for the offer but, I'm alright with it. I'm not that poor. 

#Scene 466#

Holy: There is a response on the elemental radar! I think it is the Masouki from southern Shutedonias!

Bradroy: Even if we evade by this distance we'll be discovered.

Masaki: Damn... Anyway if they spotted us we have no choice but to launch.

Tyutti: Yeah... The general army has no sin but we can't avoid it in such a case.

Bradroy: Then, all members, prepare to engage!

Coret: There is contact from the enemy! Eh? Impossible…

Charian: What's wrong? Who contacted us?

Coret: It is Omgared.

Masaki: What!? Why that guy, at this time…

Coret: Shall I rotate the main?

Tyutti: Please.

Omgared: Fufufu... I have to say, to be able to meet you guys at this place is the providence of heaven.

Masaki: That is our line! From now we're about to beat you. It saves us a lot of time.

Omgared: Our objective is the same. However, I'll choose the place.

Masaki: Say what? You plan to escape at this late hour?

Omgared: No, I only want the locational advantage, even if it is only a little. From now, there is a Volkruss temple at the underground of the location I'm speaking about.

Masaki: Volkruss temple!? You... finally you're reduced to those guys' underling!!

Omgared: Underling is rude. We are partners that use each other.

Masaki: You think such reason applies to those guys?

Omgared: Such weariness is absurd fear when mutual benefits matched. Then, I'll wait for you here.

Coret: We received the coordinate data!

Wagener: It is a place not that far but... It is a particular empty location.

Bradroy: But if it is underground, even if there is Volkruss temple it's obviously a trap.

Masaki: We've no choice but to go.

Wagener: Indeed. Captain, please give your command.

Bradroy: Establish the course to the specification coordinate. Starboard full! Hringhorni, max battle speed!

Holy: Roger! Starboard full! Hringhorni, max battle speed! 

#Scene 467#

Bradroy: ...It can't be mistaken. How is the response?

Holy: No, there is nothing. A, no! There is a response of a cave in the destination's underground!

Saphine: They opened the barrier.

Tyutti: But it seems no doubt they pull a trap…

Masaki: We can't stop now!

Mio: Go, Antilles Corp! 

-------------------------------
Stage 38: Omgared the tactician
-------------------------------

#Scene 468 (Map)#

Saphine: ...I can't believe that there was a temple in this place.

Masaki: That bastard Shu also didn't know this place?

Saphine: It can't be helped. He doesn't know all of the Volkruss temples.

Omgared: Welcome, Antilles Corp.

Masaki: So you appeared. You ingratiated yourself to Volkruss. How pitiful. Ah, no, you were originally a terrorist. It is correct to say you ended up right back where you started.

Omgared: Well said. You will know my true power.

Mio: That line is the mid-boss loss flag.

Saphine: But, if Shu-sama said that?

Mio: ...Mystery! It becomes the line of the final boss!

Saphine: As I thought, that sort of line isn't suitable.

Masaki: By the way, he could borrow Volkruss's power? It is meaningless to lend only that Reisouki.

Omgared: Fu... Even if you don't rush sooner or later you'll know, even if you hate it. With your own body!

Satils: Eh? I didn't see Yanglong-dono…

Saphine: Me too. What happened to Sister?

Satils: Fufu... It seems both of us have some kind of affair. Good, good. 

[Masaki vs Omgared]

Masaki: Don't say that you don't know the fate of the guys linked to Volkruss until now!

Omgared: I'm different from them.

Masaki: Hmm, it is only confidence without a roof! 

[Saphine vs Volkruss]

Volkruss: Saphine Volkruss... A young girl threw away my granted reputation and ran away…

Saphine: Shut up! I already completely cut off my relationship with you! Like a stubborn man from olden days! 

*Satils defeated*

Satils: Oh, you begin to aim for me? Well, never mind. Let me look on with folded arms for a while. 

*Drep defeated*

Drep: Nuuh!? A direct hit on the cockpit... Escape is impossible...

Omgared: What is wrong, Drep? Escape.

Drep: My friend Omgared... I could only make it this far... The rest… Uoooh!?

Omgared: Drep! ...I lost the person who understood me the most... 

*Omgared defeated*

Omgared: Fu... Fufufu... As expected of Antilles Corp. Terrific power…

Masaki: Give up, Omgared!

Omgared: Give up? The one giving up is you people.

Masaki: Stop making excuses!

Omgared: Making excuses or not... Feast yours eyes! Om. Shiva. Volkruss. Resumu. Hanan. Zahato!

Saphine: Eh!? That spell is…

Omgared: O... Oooh! The light... The power to my body…

Saphine: ...It is already too late.

Masaki: What did he do!?

Omgared: Fufufu... I'll inform you. I obtained power! The mighty power of Volkruss!

Saphine: You're stupid…

Omgared: Fu... Fuhahahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful power! Power overflows from the inside of my body! This power... If I have this, scum like you… Guuh!?

Saphine: It has begun.

Masaki: Hey, what's going on?

Omgared: Guaaaaaaah!? P... painful... W, why... Why on earth…

Satils: You should be happy. The ceremony succeeded.

Omgared: Succeeded...? Guuh... W-what do you mean…

Satils: How do you feel when the person you trusted betrays you, Omgared-dono?

Omgared: Be... tray...? It can't be... The power of immortality…

Satils: You'll be immortal when you fuse with Volkruss-sama.

Omgared: Then... Guuh!! The talk is… Guoooooooh!?

Saphine: ...Look like he was eaten down to the soul. Well, you paid for your mistake.

Volkruss: Uoooo…

Satils: Volkruss-sama... Congratulations on the reincarnation, even if it is only an image.

Volkruss: Well done... Satils... I'll lend my power to you…

Satils: I'm unworthy of those words. Then, to bring fear to the world, let me borrow your power for a while.

Masaki: Good grief... Volkruss again! I want to put an end to this! 

*Satils defeated (second time)*

Satils: ...That's all for today. Then, we'll meet again. 

*Volkruss defeated*

Volkruss: Masoukishin... The ones stand in my way many times… But, it is useless no matter how you struggle. As long as there is a voice calling me, I'll come back from hell any number of times... 

#Scene 469#

Ryune: Good grief, all of Volkruss believers use such methods? They're the worst people!

Saphine: It can't be helped. Because it is such a dogma.

Guido: But well, isn't it good to say Omgared got what he deserved?

Tyutti: Right... But he is pathetic.

Masaki: By this the coup of Omgared is no more right?

Guido: Yeah. Omgared unified the southern authorities, he could suppress any rebellion. However, because of that the south is in chaos.

Demeksa: Indeed we can't interfere thus far.

Tyutti: Our dispatch for maintaining security becomes indispensable. If that's the case we won't violate the rules.

Mio: Speaking of violating the rules, what will Wagener-san do?

Wagener: Eh? Me? I see, what will I do?

Tyutti: There is one proposal.

Wagener: What?

Tyutti: I want Wagener-san to return to the position of chairman of the council.

Mio: Reappointment! There is such a thing!

Wagener: Reappointment... Certainly in the rules there is no regulation related to reappointment but…

Tyutti: Legally speaking, it is reasonable to create internal rules inside Antilles Corp and follow that but, since now we still haven't decided that far…

Wagener: Somewhat feels like a loophole in the law. Moreover, is that Ok? An unreliable man like me, being your representative.

Mio: Not really, Wagener-san. You enhanced your reputation with this event.

Masaki: Yeah, a Representative is necessary in this squad with lots of guys behaving recklessly.

Tyutti: How is that, Wagener-san?

Wagener: Thank you. Then, I'll respectfully listen to your suggestion, return as chairman of the council.

Mio: Right right, talking about recklessness, Yanglong-san! We must reunite with him quickly!

Wagener: Right. Let's treat the action this time as maintaining security while heading to the capital of the south. 

#Scene 470#

Masaki: Ah, Tyutti. Can you give me a few minutes?

Tyutti: Oh, Masaki. What's wrong?

Masaki: A sudden thought appeared in my mind... The action of Yanglong this time is denied by the elementals right?

Tyutti: ...You, who acts so selfish and goes to the surface on a whim, say that?

Masaki: Ugh!? W-well, certainly…

Tyutti: I can't say it clearly but, the reason Cyphis rejected you was you lost the will to fight.

Masaki: The will to fight... I see. So that's it.

Tyutti: If you think originally why the Masoukishin were produced, it is natural.

Masaki: Yeah, for opposing the evil Gods that destroy the world. If you lost the will to fight, it is reasonable you're disqualified as a pilot.

Tyutti: In short, until now except you no pilot has the experience of being rejected by an elemental.

Masaki: Ah... W-well, I could only think it was a useful experience by itself.

Tyutti: Even if Yanglong's action is his own selfishness, he thinks of the world in his own way. Since he believed that saving Elsine-sama is saving the world. ...However, there seem to be personal feelings involved as well.

Masaki: Personal feeling?

Tyutti: Oh, Masaki didn't notice it?

Masaki: What?

Tyutti: ...I understand why Wendy-san and Ryune have difficulty.

Masaki: Why did you call out those two!?

Tyutti: Think for yourself. 

#Scene 471#

Greps: Splendid, Archbishop.

Satils: It is not a big thing at all. It is the problem of the nature of Omgared himself. He believed that all humans work for their own benefit like himself. He didn't know that to us benefit means nothing.

Greps: Because we only work for justice. By this it is no doubt that the disorder of the south will continue a little longer.

Satils: Yeah, the only problem left is Elsine-sama.

Greps: I worry about Yanglong's independent action…

Satils: It is useless to worry. Because I myself who used the technique understand the most about the event of Elsine-sama.

  1. Scene 472#

Rodney: Congrats for qualifying, senator Barom.

Akraid: No. Just call me Akraid.

Rodney: Well then, sorry to get straight to the point, but let's get down to business, senator Akraid.

Akraid: The law to assist the south?

Rodney: Indeed. The south now is very dangerous. We can't ignore it.

Akraid: If we gather the senators at the multiparty, we can establish it even at once.

Rodney: Currently it takes form of loan but, if we reunite we will forgive them. No one is complaining right?

Akraid: When will the time of reunification take place?

Rodney: That's the problem.

Akraid: In other words?

Rodney: That time, the earlier the better.

Akraid: I concur.

Rodney: I see, can you guarantee?

Akraid: Yes?

Rodney: The reunification, the sooner the better?

Akraid: Yeah, sure.

Rodney: Well then, I have to receive your action.

Akraid: Er... I'm working for that. Since that's what a senator is for.

Rodney: Then, I'll receive a favor of a speech from you.

Akraid: ...There is nothing frightened as that in the battlefield. Speech? By me?

Rodney: Right.

Akraid: It is excessive. Please think of how much I'm being hated by the south.

Rodney: You can even say that you're being feared.

Akraid: In short, I'm weak when it comes to appearing before people.

Rodney: What are you saying, even though you became a senator.

Akraid: I don't have the look that attracts an audience.

Rodney: Then, maybe wear this mask?

Akraid: You don't have a good ear?

Rodney: Since it is a rare experience that can outsmart you. But, I'm not joking. I'm serious.

Akraid: ...Could you give me time to think about it?

Rodney: Well, three days.

Akraid: Haa... It can't be helped. I'll think carefully.

Rodney: Ok. I'm waiting for good news. 

#Scene 473#

Yanglong: Huh... Beyond this point is it also blockaded? This is martial law.

South Soldier: You over there! What are you doing!

Yanglong: Ah, sorry. I came for sightseeing by chance but, because of this disturbance I can't return home. I want to take lodging. Is there a hotel in this place?

South Soldier: Ah, that? Then, go to the south that way. I'm sure there are some operating hotels.

Yanglong: Thank you. You're helpful.

South Soldier: Don't hang around here. Because now there is a state of emergency.

Yanglong: Thank you for the warning. ... Yanglong: Well, what will I do now…

????: Foreigner, you shouldn't go out in the open street.

Yanglong: !? That voice is…

????: Sh! If you're finding lodging, come this way.

Yanglong: ...Understood. ... Yanglong: ...Let's stop here. No one is around here. Take off your hood, Elsine.

Elsine: As I thought, you recognized me, Yanglong-sama.

Yanglong: Of course. But, why you…

Elsine: I had the same thought. Why are you here?

Yanglong: I came to help you.

Elsine: ...That is impossible.

Yanglong: You're only being controlled. By suspicious technique called something like controlling thaumaturgy.

Elsine: Controlling thaumaturgy? Even if it is so... As I am now…

Yanglong: If you don't understand my words, I'll just put them into action. Um…

Elsine: Eh? A... Yanglong-sama?

Yanglong: …

Elsine: !?

Yanglong: …

Elsine: (! This is... the elemental device? But, this prana is... As I thought...)

Yanglong: (Wake up, Elsine. I... love you...)

Elsine: (Ah...) Um... The thing just now is... the elemental device curse breaker...?

Yanglong: Yeah, right. By this soon, you'll… Huh!?

Elsine: Don't worry, Yanglong-sama. Please relax.

Yanglong: Shit... T-this is…

Elsine: Sorry, Yanglong-sama. When you sent your prana, I also used a technique.

Yanglong: Technique...?

Elsine: Yes... The controlling thaumaturgy.

Yanglong: !?

Elsine: Normally, I can't use controlling thaumaturgy right away on the person having that much prana. But, from before, my curing of Yanglong-sama bore fruit.

Yanglong: Curing...? The time when I was protecting you? Don't tell me… From that time…

Elsine: No, at that time I was only absorbed in saving Yanglong-sama. The connection to the technique this time is a fluke. Due to that by following the trace of prana I was able to meet Yanglong-sama again.

Yanglong: Shit... Stop, Elsine. I'm sure the technique used on you can be removed.

Elsine: ...I've to apologize to Yanglong-sama. I told you a lie. Namely that I'm not a Volkruss believer…

Yanglong: !? D... don't tell me…

Elsine: Yes, I'm a Volkruss believer... I even hold a position of an archbishop.

Yanglong: Then... Being controlled was...

Elsine: I never said a single word about being controlled.

Yanglong: ...All was... theater …

Elsine: Yeah. However, that is also already ended. Because I'll invite Yanglong-sama in and treat you as our comrade.

Yanglong: ...It can't be... I... such a thing…

Elsine: As expected of a Masoukishin pilot. But, you'll soon be controlled right? Well… Can you take my hand? Yanglong-sama…

Yanglong: …

Elsine: Because of the soul of the word from before, and the prana this time, the thought of Yanglong-sama soaked into my heart… Er... It is arrogant, but if I can be with Yanglong-sama…

Yanglong: …

Elsine: ...? Yanglong-sama?

Yanglong: ...I'm sorry.

Elsine: Eh?

Yanglong: I can't take your hand.

Elsine: Perhaps... The technique is…

Yanglong: ...I wasn't being caught in it. I'm me, as ever.

Elsine: That can't be true.

Yanglong: ...I don't know why. But, I think I understood your thoughts.

Elsine: Ah... Then…

Yanglong: Then, let me ask you in reverse. If I give my hand, will you take it?

Elsine: ...That is…

Yanglong: That's it. As I thought, we're both stubborn people.

Elsine: ...Yeah.

Yanglong: I can't walk on the same road with you.

Elsine: ...Me too. And, since we completely understood each other, we can't keep it like that. ...Since we put our heart into mutual work.

Yanglong: Yeah, that's right.

Elsine: ...Then, let's finish…

Yanglong: Mutual business. 

-------------------------------
Stage 39: Disorder of the south
-------------------------------

#Scene 474 (Map)#

Elsine: Luckily, as you see, almost no one except the guards is living around here. You can relax since even if we fight with Masouki there is no fear we'll cause harm to the townspeople.

Yanglong: Oh... You plan to fight my Granvale head-on?

Elsine: Fufu... Yanglong-sama, I think you shouldn't make light of this Boranzorn.

Yanglong: ...Certainly. I feel an uncommon prana. Right, ...that has the same quality with that Volkruss. However, I haven't passed through the valley of death many times just for show. I won't hold back!

Elsine: ...As expected of Yanglong-sama. Terrific will. But, my Boranzorn won't fall behind when it comes to fighting one on one, even if the opponent is a Masoukishin.

Yanglong: Then, have a try!

Volkruss believer: ...Wait, Elsine-sama. You don't need to personally fight this lowborn fellow. Leave this to me.

Elsine: ...Step back. It is impolite of you to step in the fight between me and Yanglong-sama.

Volkruss believer: I can't let the worst come to Elsine-sama here. Come! ... Volkruss believer: W... what power…

Yanglong: Hmph... At last I can handle it. My new technique... Hougu Kafuu Seiun Ken.

Elsine: My apology for the inelegance of my subordinate to you, Yanglong-sama. Then, let's resume…

Yanglong: The battle of two souls. Go!

Wulf: You're in trouble, Elsine-sama. You went out by yourself and moreover, inviting such a troublemaker.

Elsine: Withdraw, Wulf. This is my battle alone.

Wulf: My boss is the archbishop Satils. I'm afraid I can't obey that order. Moreover Antilles Corp will arrive soon.

Masaki: Yanglong!! Are you alright! ...Hey, Yanglong you... You are in Possession!?

Yanglong: No, indeed to me right now Possession is impossible. But I'm overflowing with ki. Masaki, leave this scene to me. I'll settle with Elsine!

Masaki: Elsine... The one riding that enormous Masouki is Elsine!?

Tyutti: The curse breaker failed!?

Yanglong: Failure no... It was all a ruse. Elsine is one of the archbishops of the Church of Volkruss.

Ryune: Eh!?

Masaki: Damn... I've thought that she is somehow suspicious looking but... She is such a bigwig?

Saphine: That is a lie right!? I can't believe Sister joined the Church of Volkruss…

Elsine: ...Sorry for hiding the truth until now, Saphine. But, even in the slightest degree, you who made a contract with Volkruss-sama, please understand my feelings.

Saphine: ...No, Sister. I don't understand. I, now, am Shu-sama's servant. If you are against my dear Shu-sama, even if you are my sister…

Elsine: I see... I regret this, Saphine. You’re also…

Yanglong: …

Tyutti: Yanglong... I understand how you feel but, the opponents have increased. It is too much for just you.

Yanglong: ...Understood. Then, I'll leave the reinforcement to you. 

[Masaki vs Elsine]

Masaki: I see... The true identity of uncomfortable feeling was this! Elsine!!

Elsine: Uncomfortable feeling?

Masaki: Cyphis taught me. That I've to be careful about you!

Elsine: The wind elemental Cyphis... I see, you received divine protection.

Masaki: Yeah, I won't let you do as you please!! 

[Yanglong vs Elsine]

Elsine: This vigor... Indeed Yanglong-sama is harsh to even himself or even other people.

Yanglong: ...I could say that about you too. You have an eye without hesitation.

Elsine: Since both of us have things that we can't hand over…

Yanglong: This was inevitable...? 

[Saphine vs Elsine]

Elsine: Saphine... I know I've to prepare to cross swords with you sooner or later but... When the moment arrives, I can't help feeling sad.

Saphine: Yeah, certainly... But, I already abandoned Volkruss. I can't become your ally.

Elsine: ...I won't go easy on anyone who opposes Volkruss, even if she is my small sister.

Saphine: I know that, Sister! 

[Tsrein vs Elsine]

Tsrein: It’s a lie!? Please tell me that it’s a lie, Elsine-sama!

Elsine: ...I'm sorry for deceiving you until now. But, this is my true character.

Tsrein: It can't be... Why!! Why surrounding me is only things like this... 

[Mefil vs Elsine]

Mefil: ...Good grief, I won't let you injure Tsre-chan's feeling anymore!

Elsine: Well... You're gentle. You care for Tsrein-sama more than yourself…

Mefil: I'm... fine with any case. Because I've abandoned many things.

Elsine: No matter how many times you run away, you can't run away from your fate.

Mefil: I'm not an advocate of fate. 

[Gaen vs Elsine]

Gaen: At last you showed your true identity, you evil woman!

Elsine: That isn't the line a traitor speaks, Gaen-sama.

Gaen: I don't betray my own heart! Even if I betray God!

Elsine: ...Human's hearts are a weak thing. If you rely on such things, you'll lose everything.

Gaen: You think I don't know that! 

*Elsine defeated*

Elsine: ...Splendid, everyone. I don't plan to make light of you but, my estimation seems naive. However, I also haven't drawn out my best form. Then everyone, we'll meet again in the future.

  • Elsine defeated by Yanglong*

Elsine: Damn... As expected of Yanglong-sama.

Yanglong: Be obedient, surrender and atone your sin.

Elsine: To us, going against God's will is the greatest sin... Allow me to retreat from this place. We'll meet again, Yanglong-sama.

Yanglong: ...Elsine.

Saphine: Sister... 

*Battle ends*

Masaki: So, Yanglong. What is that ki?

Yanglong: ...I don't know. While I fought with Elsine, I got excited…

Masaki: You got very close to Possession right?

Yanglong: Well... I hope so. 

#Scene 475#

Wagener: ...It is too bad, Yanglong.

Yanglong: Yeah, I failed to catch Elsine.

Wagener: Um, no, I'm not talking about that matter…

Tsrein: ...I can't believe that Elsine-sama is an archbishop of the Church of Volkruss…

Mio: ...Tsrein seems in a shock more than Yanglong.

Yanglong: On top of that matter, now maintaining security of the south is rather more important. Did you fully understand the situation?

Xenia: Ah, yeah. Some small scale rebellion occurred. If we overlook them there is a chance they will become big.

Guido: Hmph... From what I've seen in the images, if the Masoukis are dispatched, it will be settled with just that.

Wagener: Right. One part of the south army also is moving but, because their chain of command is in chaos, look like they can't manage it all. We'll apply the 5th article of Antilles Corp law and act as security maintenance.

Tyutti: Yeah... Now we should devote ourselves to settling urgent business.

Yanglong: ...If you worry about me then it is unnecessary.

Tyutti: ...You’re not the only one in shock, Yanglong.

Yanglong: Mu... Sorry. That's true.

Xenia: Near here, there are three rebellious regions that the southern army can’t get to.

Wagener: Then, please divide our force into 3 groups and maintain security of each region. Because there is no confirmation of Masouki's existence, likely there will be no counter but, don't drop your guard. 

#Scene 476#

Bradroy: Ah, hm, hmm! ...The microphone is connected?

Charian: The switch is already on.

Bradroy: Oh, no good, no good. Ah, then again… This is Antilles Corp. According to article 5 of Antilles Corp law, we'll expose the illegal activity in this region.

Bradroy: ...Um, how was that, Chary? Very dignified huh?

Charian: ...I still haven't turned on the microphone's switch. Moreover, how many times do I have to tell you don't call me Chary.

Bradroy: Oops.

Coret: But, I think that everyone already ran away, no one is listening.

Holy: The Rujanol Custom which had just invaded the bank ran away at full speed when they saw this ship.

Bradroy: ...It is boring if it is too easy like this.

Charian: What are you saying? If nothing happened that is best right? 

#Scene 477#

Wagener: Look like, we suppressed almost all rebellions.

Ryune: Well, there are only cowards who start to run away when they see us.

Mio: No, if Masouki appears, it is natural to understand anyone would run away right?

Xenia: At this point, I wonder if the south will calm down a bit?

Tyutti: Ah, there is a nationwide broadcast of the congress of the north. It looks like Akraid is doing a speech.

Masaki: Akraid? That guy can do a speech?

Tyutti: Sh! It began. Let's hear what he says.

Akraid: Er, regarding the bill suggestion this time, this is a notification that I, Akraid Barom will explain its goal… I'm not very strong on speaking at this sort of formal scene but, let me express what I thought.

Becky: An unreliable lad as usual. Will he be alright with it?

Akraid: The cause of the war this time is regarded as injustice, heavy taxes to one part of the region. Well, but there are many other things too. Like the too excessive expansion of armaments of the former president, the pressure on defense contractors conversely, the tendency of some mass communications. However, even though Shutedonias lost its territory, since its 4000 years of independence, it was one country consistently. During that time, there are lots of things that happened. We learned a lot from the regrettable wars with Langran and Bagonia. Nevertheless, is it good to loss our motherland that existed for 4000 years by such a thing? Whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, the neighbouring country Langran kept their nonintervention. However, we mustn't always rely on that. The country must solve its problem by itself. There is no north or south. We must think of our homeland that our ancestors built up once more.

Yanglong: A message of unification to the south...?

Guido: Perfect timing. But the problem is whether the south can make the decision or not...

Akraid: Above all else, please feel the sadness, emptiness being divided by two and fight. Come to think of it, the idols of our army, the Sandriv sisters, not by their own will, were torn into two. The figure of those two girls is the figure of all citizens of our nation now. But our bond isn't that slender that can be cut off easily!

Tyutti: Well done... I can't believe he includes the story of the Sandriv sisters here.

Xenia: Yeah, because those two are popular people. The public opinion will probably move.

Akraid: There may be a lot of anxiety. However, we'll look again on the tax system that became the basis that halves the country. We'll correct the unfairness. Most of all, all citizens are equal.

Wendy: ...Hey?

Masaki: What's wrong, Wendy?

Wendy: Ah, well. Akraid was a reform advocate more than I thought.

Masaki: Really?

Wendy: Well, since it is probably lip-service, it is nothing to be worried about.

Akraid: Now, here, before the people of the south, without any reprimand, I demand an equal reunification with the north!

Guido: Excellent speech.

Xenia: Beyond imagination. You think the south will accept it?

Guido: Probably.

Xenia: Well, it is good if it can go well but... That speech seems to have some kind of trouble. 

#Scene 478#

Rodney: Thank you for your hard work, Akraid.

Akraid: I want you to never arrange that farce again. You should let a person with better appearance do this job.

Rodney: What are you saying? You're an expert.

Akraid: I wonder how the south will answer.

Rodney: There may be an opposition faction but... Now that Omgared is dead, their influence is small.

Akraid: True, I'm sick of the war already.

Rodney: That's the same with anyone. No one will choose war by their own will.

Akraid: But, war won't disappear.

Rodney: Even if you make war it is because you have to protect something.

Akraid: The right of a person?

Rodney: That is not all... Regarding such matters, my opinion is slightly differ from yours.

Akraid: There is no one having exactly the same opinion in this world. At least we're comrades.

Rodney: Right... 

#Scene 479#

Wagener: The south moved. I heard they’ll hold a referendum on reunification with the north.

Jino: Oh... They revealed the last method?

Roselie: If that's the case, the reunification is almost settled.

Jino: Probably. However, we can't ignore the existence of the ones against it.

Fang: Everything is alright. I gathered the information on that matter.

Gaen: ...Then, the urgent problem is the Church of Volkruss.

Saphine: Shu-sama is investigating that matter. You can trust him.

Jino: Shu...? Well, how far can we trust that guy?

Saphine: Oh, well said. There is no one more trustworthy than Shu-sama in this world.

Jino: Your insistence lacks persuasive power. In short, what are you wearing? It isn't the garments of an unmarried woman.

Saphine: I'm happy to be treated as an unmarried woman but, such a thing is the freedom of the individual right?

Tyutti: Ah, so everyone was here. That's just right. There was contact from Shu. He said he wants us to gather since he obtained information about the Church of Volkruss.

Saphine: Oh, sorry.

Tyutti: Because of that, everyone please gather at the briefing room. 

#Scene 480#

Shu: Let me explain this time. This matter refers to Volkruss.

Masaki: I'm Ok with that but... Your explanations are roundabout and wordy. Talk simply.

Shu: Even if you don't say that, this time I'll speak in a way that matches the listener.

Masaki: Cut the sarcasm!

Shu: Good grief... Well, I have to admit that you grew up by understanding the sarcasm just now. Well, it is about the Church of Volkruss. The society is run by the archbishops. There are about 10 people in total.

Simone: You were also one of them right? You don't know the exact number?

Shu: Since the fixed number hasn't been determined, all members haven't gathered at the archbishop conference.

Yanglong: Am I correct to think that now, the one developing action is only Elsine and Satils?

Shu: Yeah, that is not wrong. There are other archbishops that hold power but, it seems they're doing the check together.

Guido: That is consolation in sadness. If they come in great numbers, we can't control them.

Shu: But since their goal is to revive Volkruss, it doesn't change the fact that sooner or later we have to confront them. Because the reincarnation of the images so far was carried out behind closed doors, they couldn't show their true identity to everybody. For reviving the true Volkruss, it is necessary to display its figure to people in the world. Because the terror of those people is Volkruss's food.

Masaki: Something like a negative elemental?

Shu: Absolutely correct. The more the terror increases, the stronger Volkruss becomes.

Ryune: Troublesome opponent. Is there a basic solution?

Shu: I already said it to Masaki. I'm in the middle of investigating at the present.

Mio: Do Volkruss and Rasphitot relate to each other?

Shu: ...A hard question. I don't have evidence but I think they do.

Xenia: Because they say something like there are three ancient evil Gods. I think their relationship might be possible.

Shu: Volkruss and Rasphitot, and... I haven't confirmed yet but it is the creation God Guragios… There is legend that those three Gods originally are three aspects of a single entity.

Xenia: ...First time hearing that. Where is such a legend from?

Shu: In the ancient document held by the Church of Volkruss. But I don't know how authentic it is.

Xenia: Because they're the Church of Volkruss they are dubious.

Shu: They said that to truly revive each God, it is effective to weaken the seal by not reviving a single God, but revive them mutually.

Xenia: Because of that, the Church of Volkruss untied the seal of Rasphitot over and over?

Shu: Yeah, I think so.

Masaki: ...They are the worst.

Shu: Well, I'll move on to the main subject. Not long ago when we're talking about Rasphitot. I discovered a historic ruin that looks like the trace of his temple.

Wagener: Hmm, that's true?

Shu: Probably. The source of information is from the internal of the Church of Volkruss.

Xenia: It isn't fake?

Shu: Because it matches with the place that I figured out from before, I think it is real.

Yanglong: Rasphitot... If it is the real thing, can we control him...?

Xenia: We still don't know well. Rasphitot is the harmony God right? A being incompatible to the destruction God Volkruss right?

Shu: By the legend of Langran, such interpretation is also reasonable.

Xenia: You say let's trust the ancient document of the Church of Volkruss?

Shu: Especially, since their research regarding Volkruss is by far the best.

Masaki: ...Rasphitot is an annoying being, the same with Volkruss or even more. We can't let it revive.

Shu: Masaki, that is your will or elemental's will?

Masaki: Both. Now it mixed together inside me.

Shu: ...Somehow, finally you barely passed the test of a Masoukishin pilot, Masaki.

Masaki: I'm not happy to be praised by you! With your superiority complex!

Shu: Hmph... Anyway, I finished the input of the destination on the navigation system. The next thing is only your decision.

Masaki: Understood! Everyone, let's go! 

-----------------------------------------------------
Stage 40: The harmony God returns from the underworld
-----------------------------------------------------

#Scene 481 (Map)#

Yanglong: ...Looks like Elsine isn't here.

Saphine: Right.

Shu: Archbishop Satils... I noticed it. The relationship between Volkruss and Rasphitot.

Satils: It is easy to understand as a servant of Volkruss-sama. Rasphitot is important to revive the true Volkruss-sama.

Masaki: Hmph... What harmony God! You betray your origin for the sake of convenience.

Kuro: Even considering all that, you were deceived fully.

Masaki: Shut up! It is different from that time!

Shu: But what we don't understand is the method to revive Rasphitot. Even the ancient documents of the Church of Volkruss didn't cover such a thing.

Satils: It is simple. If Rasphitot fuses with Volkruss-sama... So it is with the reviving method.

Shu: I see... It is simple but, certainly it is the truth. However, I'm sure for perfect reincarnation a lot of procedures are needed.

Satils: For that purpose we repeat trial and error. Once it suddenly went well but, because those two people interfered…

Yanglong: …

Tyutti: …

Shu: Then, you say you found a perfect method?

Satils: Please confirm that with your own eyes, Christoph-dono. 

*Dihigo defeated*

Dihigo: Shit! Sponsor ends here... I've to find another employer. 

*Deming defeated*

Deming: Damn! Looks like even if I try more I won't earn profit... This is it for today. 

*Satils defeated*

Satils: A... as expected of Antilles Corp... As I thought I can't compete with you... But that strength is also fatal…

Masaki: Say what?

Satils: Rasphitot... Now I'll dedicate my life to you!

Shu: He sacrifices himself?

Satils: Good-bye... Volkruss-sama will use the thought that the believer betrayed as nourishment. And, Rasphitot will use the thought of regret as nourishment.

Shu: The difference of emotion became the key... That's what you mean...?

Satils: Watch carefully. The figure of Rasphitot… Now! The time of reincarnation! Uoooooh!!

Rasphitot: ...It is you people again... Standing in my way before me means…

Shu: ...Look like it is only an image, not the real one.

Rasphitot: Given you opposed me even two times, the I who is gentle even a little angry…

Masaki: Bring it on! I understand clearly now! I've got to get rid of you!

Yanglong: Tyutti, don't hesitate.

Tyutti: You too, Yanglong.

Mio: I will inherit Tian-san's will! 

*Rasphitot defeated*

Rasphitot: I can't believe there are beings that possess this much power... Regrettable. But, don't forget. I don't die... As long as the hearts that avoid war exist inside humans... 

[Masaki vs Satils]

Masaki: I don't know what you're planning but I'll surely stop it!

Satils: Hohou, my goodness... Then, show me your skill. 

[Yanglong vs Satils]

Yanglong: Satils! Where is Elsine!?

Satils: You don't need to be impatient. Surely Elsine-sama will appear before you. 

[Xenia vs Dihigo]

Dihigo: When it comes to the battle of Masouki, I'm better!

Xenia: Eh? What are you saying! I'm also something! 

[Shu vs Satils]

Shu: You found a suitable scapegoat for reviving Rasphitot?

Satils: As expected of Christoph-dono. You saw through my mind that far?

Shu: But, it doesn't seem that you discover that circumstance often.

Satils: Probably.

  1. Scene 482#

Shu: At this point, the relationship between Volkruss and Rasphitot is clear.

Wagener: You mean... the day Volkruss truly revives is coming soon?

Shu: I'm afraid so.

Masaki: There is no method to stop it!?

Shu: For now we only have one method: search for Elsine.

Yanglong: …

Saphine: …

Xenia: Christoph, do you have any idea of the place that Elsine might use among the Volkruss temples that you already knew?

Shu: I know too many of them, so it is hard to narrow down the options.

Xenia: Wait a bit! Volkruss temples are that prevalent?

Shu: There are many historic ruins buried under the ground. The number to be known to the public is the tip of the iceberg.

Guido: ...Then, how about conversely? If I remember correctly, to revive Volkruss, the feeling of betrayal was necessary?

Shu: Right but… Ah, I see. We'll find the place such feelings were gathered. That's what you mean?

Guido: Yeah, correct.

Shu: The point you made is interesting but... Among the friends of the Church of Volkruss that I know, I've no idea what method they would use.

Guido: I see…

Wendy: Because Elsine went completely into hiding, it is troublesome to find her...

Mio: It is impossible even by Xenia division?

Xenia: We're still in development as an organization.

Shu: Now we could only wait but... It looks like it won't take that much time. Let's just prepare. 

#Scene 483#

Yanglong: Saphine, don't hang around like that.

Saphine: Don't be mean. I'm only looking. The Wizol Custom also is being worked on.

Yanglong: If we let down our guard on you, there is no telling what you will do if left alone.

Saphine: What, you venting your anger on me just because you were dumped by my sister?

Yanglong: ...That wasn’t what happened.

Saphine: Eh? Really?

Yanglong: It is only the difference in doctrine.

Saphine: You mean Sister chose work rather than a man? Well, that's how she likes it. But, Yanglong. In the Church they call that being dumped.

Yanglong: “The long tongue of the wife becomes the guide to calamity”.

Saphine: W-what is that?

Yanglong: I'm saying a talkative woman is the origin of world's chaos.

Saphine: Good grief... Why did Sister fall for such an unusual man? Ah, then again look at me. Maybe we’re more similar than I thought.

Yanglong: Hey, don't take advantage of the confusion to touch Cybuster.

Saphine: I know. I’m only watching. ...Hmm, the Astral armor was supplemented? That takes some time.

Yanglong: Saphine, focus on the Wizol Kai.

Saphine: Ah, Ok Ok. You really are a nagging man. Eh? Yanglong, something came out from your chest.

Yanglong: Eh? This is…

Saphine: Oh, that is the talisman of yorishiro you received from Shu-sama right?

Yanglong: You say talisman of yorishiro?

Saphine: Right. It is an extraordinary item that becomes a substitute of the real person and defends against magic. But looks like it already accomplished its duty and died.

Yanglong: ...I see. Thanks to that I was able to avoid Elsine's controlling thaumaturgy that time.

Saphine: Sister used controlling thaumaturgy on you? ...I see, Sister was serious.

Yanglong: ...Serious? It is necessary for me to express my gratitude to Shu later.

Saphine: You shouldn't. You and Shu-sama are incompatible to the bitter end. Well, I will pass your gratitude to Shu-sama for you. 

#Scene 484#

Jino: Oh... Somehow the general trend was decided.

Roselie: Yeah, because it is the initial voting result, I can't say it is 100% but…

Mio: I always keep thinking about this election's result. Why does the decision come out at the same time with the ballot counting?

Ryune: Because they did exit polling, right?

Mio: No no, because we haven't done that here. What period is that?

Ryune: I just made a bit of a mistake! The survey before voting!

Mio: Well, since it is an electronic vote, I understand its reliability but…

Roselie: Hmm, but occasionally there is cancellation of a vote.

Mio: Ah, as I thought? There are short-tempered people anywhere.

Jino: But... There are more dissentient votes than I thought.

Roselie: Because the heading was subdivided. They should have found a clear solution.

Demeksa: If it was that simple to find a clear solution the country wouldn't have split.

Roselie: Well, that's true but…

Demeksa: Anyhow, it is a joyous thing that both sides reunited peacefully.

Mio: Yeah, that's right but... Somewhat I've a feeling of unpleasantness.

Demeksa: That is the intuition as a Masoukishin pilot?

Mio: Hmph... I’m not sure but, I think so.

Demeksa: I see... Then, it looks like we should prepare our mentality. 

#Scene 485#

Wagener: I know that lots of people saw this news but I'll announce anyway. A major event occurred.

Yanglong: The occupation of the south's stronghold?

Wagener: Yes. A rebellious force of the army occupied the south stronghold Grimal and called for resistance to the bitter end.

Mio: Oh no... So the premonition was correct.

Wagener: The authorities continue to negotiate but the opinion is that both sides are at a complete impasse. Because the base itself stored the food supply of multiple years the The opposition faction is prepared for a prolonged war.

Masaki: How mean, it will be difficult for us to interfere…

Shu: …

Masaki: Eh? What's wrong, Shu?

Shu: Grimal stronghold is the place the rebel army secluded?

Wagener: Yes, that's right. You have some kind of idea on your mind?

Shu: Inside the underground of that base lies a Volkruss temple.

Masaki: ...Wait. Don't tell me, Elsine is behind the rebellious force?

Wendy: We haven't received information about their leader.

Shu: Assume the worst conceivable case. It is the word of Langran's famous general, Del Cavalli. Let's head to the scene.

Masaki: You say Elsine is there?

Shu: I'm afraid so. Even if it is a dead end, it's worth going. You don't mind, Yanglong, Saphine?

Saphine: Yeah, of course.

Yanglong: There is no need to ask me specifically. Elsine is an opponent we must beat.

Wagener: Hmph... Then let's head to Grimal stronghold. 

#Scene 486#

Elsine: Everyone, don't push yourself too hard…

Rebellious Soldier: Oh! It is Elsine-sama! Elsine-sama arrived!

Rebellious Soldier: Elsine-sama blesses us!

Elsine: Everyone, may God bless you.

Rebellious Soldier: Yes! If Elsine-sama is with us, we're unmatched!

Rebellious Soldier: Right! Justice belongs to us! We ain't deceived by the wicked plan of the north!

Rebellious Soldier: There is no justice in the present government that relies on the dirty tricks of the north!

Rebellious Soldier: Elsine-sama, please give us your words. Your word gives us tremendous strength.

Elsine: I... won't accept war.

Rebellious Soldier: E... Elsine-sama?

Elsine: But... God will never abandon you.

Rebellious Soldier: Yes! Elsine-sama!!

Elsine: All will be one with God. Then everyone won't doubt God anymore. I'll give a prayer for everyone according to God's heart.

Rebellious Soldier: Long live Elsine-sama!

Rebellious Soldier: Elsine-sama! Elsine-sama!!

Elsine: Well... Everyone, let's pray. The door to the kingdom of God seems to be opened... 

#Scene 487#

Bradroy: We can finally see Grimal stronghold.

Charian: Yeah... Even so, there’s some unpleasant weather... ... Charian: !? What? A thunderbolt!?

Bradroy: W-what is that just now…

Shu: ...We're too late.

Masaki: Hey! Something happened!? Explain!!

Shu: A picture is worth a thousand words... Let's go and confirm with our eyes.

Masaki: That magic square... Don't tell me…

Shu: ...Do you remember the word of Del Cavalli from before?

Masaki: Assume the worst conceivable case, huh?

Shu: There is a sequel in that phrase. Reality is more cruel.

Masaki: ...What is that?

Shu: “Be prepared for the worst.” 

#Scene 488#

Masaki: Ugh…

Mio: W... What is this!?

Tyutti: ...No, everyone... died.

Ryune: Everyone... There were more than 1200 people here!? Everyone is... gone!?

Shu: ...She used a disgraceful technique.

Elsine: I never thought that I would be called disgraceful by you, Christoph.

Yanglong: Elsine!! This is your work!?

Elsine: Yes, correct. To revive Volkruss-sama, I borrowed the power of these people.

Ryune: Borrow... power? By making this disastrous scene… How can you spit out such crap!?

Elsine: Why are you so angry? Did I do something wrong?

Ryune: Y- you!?

Shu: ...Useless. Demanding a human's heart from a Volkruss believer is like climbing a tree to catch a fish.

Elsine: The heart of a human is a thing that can be changed easily... My heart is always together with God.

Yanglong: ...As I thought, you and I are incompatible beings.

Gaen: ...As I thought, humans have no need for God.

Elsine: For humans who don't believe in God like you, I manifest Volkruss-sama. Reform.

Yanglong: I won't let you do it! Muh...!?

Shu: This is... perhaps the span wall? I heard it is a forgotten magic but…

Elsine: I can't believe that is the words of the person that wished for the second advent of Volkruss-sama, Christoph.

Shu: ...Sure. It was easy to understand why you're equipped with that kind of magic.

Yanglong: Elsine! I won't overlook your wrongdoing anymore!

Elsine: Wrongdoing? I see, I understand that perception by the look of you. However, that is the road that we Volkruss believers walk. We can't skirt it. I'll also give a prayer for you to Volkruss-sama. To the kingdom of God together…

Demeksa: No, exclude me from that.

Elsine: !? The span wall is?

Demeksa: If I remember correctly, to oppose magic you can only use magic, right?

Yanglong: Mu... Demeksa! What did you do?

Demeksa: Let's leave the explanation later. Before that, beat Elsine.

Yanglong: Yeah, right.

Elsine: A splendid magic. Demeksa-sama... That's your name if I remember correctly?

Demeksa: It is my honor being remembered by you, Elsine-san.

Elsine: I want to ask you about many things but, somehow the time has come.

Shu: ...It began?

Elsine: Then, everyone, please slowly enjoy the banquet of Volkruss-sama. Farewell.

Yanglong: !? She disappeared!?

Shu: She mastered even shunchi…

Ryune: Wait, this place is dangerous right!?

Demeksa: Indeed. Let's return to Hringhorni. 

-------------------------
Stage 41: Nightmare again 
-------------------------

#Scene 489 (Map)#

S Volkruss: Ah... At last I came close to my true power...Long... It has been a long time… Even though time is meaningless to me, indeed that feeling was more than I could manage.

Masaki: Volkruss...? That thing has an aura different from those until now!?

Shu: He has a power different from the shadows until now. He isn't the real thing but is a being near the unbridled Shiva Volkruss.

Masaki: Shiva Volkruss...?

Shu: It is the name of the true Volkruss. If you think he is the same as the opponents until now you'll be beaten while trying to avenge a loss.

Gaen: ...I see. He is a worthy opponent for me.

Masaki: That thing is... an image!?

Shu: I think so too. To entertain them fair and square is a waste of labour right? The target is the real form.

Ryune: But those things have excessive attacking power... We must keep an eye on them.

Coret: There is response from the elemental radar! It is the news gathering machines from the Federation news agency!

Bradroy: Mass communication? Carefree bastards. They don't know that they'll be hit by its maliciousness.

Saphine: We mustn't let them collect data by mass communication!!

Charian: Why?

Shu: You forgot? Volkruss eats human's terror… And, Volkruss's power and figure plant terror on human.

Charian: Broadcasting Volkruss's image unintentionally helps increase his power…

Shu: Correct.

Xenia: The figure of Volkruss is never supposed to be projected by image…

Shu: I said that the opponent this time is a being extremely near to Shiva Volkruss right? The situation is different with its image. Please confirm the battle record. I'm sure the picture remained.

Xenia: Impossible... It is really projected…

Bradroy: Not good! Send a warning to the Federation news agency!

Coret: I did but... they ignored it!

Charian: It can't be! Even if we explain the situation?

Coret: Yes!

Bradroy: A bunch of fools! Shall we shoot them down!?

Shu: It is already too late. The picture is already being transmitted simultaneously throughout the world. Since things were like this, we only have one choice.

Masaki: We knock down Volkruss and weaken the feeling of terror?

Shu: Yeah, right.

Masaki: It is just right that we'll show them the real ability of Masoukishin. Everyone, are you ready? Let's go!! 

*S Volkruss defeated*

S Volkruss: Fufufu... The manifestation ends here, this time. The seeds have already been planted. It is only a matter of time before I regain all of my power... 

[Masaki vs S Volkruss]

Masaki: I see, this thing has big pressure... 

[Tyutti vs S Volkruss]

Tyutti: Revival by sacrificing that many humans... I won't forgive that ever! 

[Yanglong vs S Volkruss]

Yanglong: ...You're the main cause of this strife. I'll throw you to the dirt! 

[Mio vs S Volkruss]

Mio: I'm getting tired of fighting this same thing! 

[Ryune vs S Volkruss]

Ryune: If I beat this thing...! 

[Xenia vs S Volkruss]

Xenia: I won't let this thing do what he pleases with La Gias... No, the world. 

[Prescia vs S Volkruss]

Prescia: Uuh... I feel bad... What is this feeling... 

[Demeksa vs S Volkruss]

Demeksa: The destruction God Volkruss... As I thought, we can't allow this thing to revive. 

[Saphine vs S Volkruss]

Saphine: Ugh... T-this is a very harsh feeling... 

[Terius vs S Volkruss]

Terius: This is troublesome... Looks like this thing will give me a hard time. 

[Shu vs S Volkruss]

Shu: Damn... I feel that you are indeed in a completely different class of the images... But, no one will control me ever again! 

[Gaen vs S Volkruss]

Gaen: ...Interesting. This is the pressure of the real thing? However, after everything you're just an assembly of malice! You aren’t fit to be called God! 

#Scene 490#

Masaki: Somehow we managed to beat it but…

Shu: It is only a temporary measure. Among the whole land of La Gias, the seals of Volkruss are weakening.

Masaki: You can't do anything!?

Shu: ...Who do you think I am? I'm not the almighty.

Masaki: ...Sorry. So, how was the mass communication guys?

Charian: They requested an interview.

Tyutti: ...How shameless.

Wagener: Of course, I politely declined.

Masaki: I wonder if they broadcasted the moment when we beat that thing properly?

Wendy: It was projected all over but…

Xenia: We're editing it. At the worst case, it will arouse terror.

Guido: I'm glad that we didn't receive the material. If that's the case, our statement will also be cut and paste.

Mio: The audience first policy? Some things never change.

Yanglong: This isn't the time to talk carefree. At this point, it can't be denied that Volkruss's power increases.

Xenia: Things like this were only in myth and urban legend but, now, throughout the world…

Charian: Another earthquake?

Shu: It is the first sign that the seal is weakened.

Masaki: Don't tell me... All the seals were released at once?

Shu: Well... Things like this didn't happen until now. It is an unprecedented situation.

Demeksa: Isn't there a way we can manage by magic? I can do it if it is a simple seal but…

Shu: It is an interesting attempt but, since the number of enemies are too great it is impossible to deal with them.

Demeksa: I see…

Xenia: I wonder how the mass communication guys think of what they've done? Eh? Mefil, what are you doing?

Mefil: Ah, nothing, since the mass communication images from before are too much to be edited, I'm thinking of signal boosting our battle record.

Mio: Ah, then please edit our activity in a stylish way. I expect it will become everyone's hope.

Masaki: That's just like those mass communication scumbags.

Mio: But, if terror becomes Volkruss's power, our figure of victory has an effect on it right?

Masaki: Now that you mention it... Is that so?

Shu: ...I see. There was that method.

Masaki: Hey hey, you said that a cheap method like editing an image is a good method?

Shu: No, I don't mean that. Human's mentality... Their unconscious links with the elemental world. We can't terminate Volkruss in the real world but, if there is a nexus with the elemental world... we can do it.

Masaki: Nexus with the elemental world…

Mio: The thing of that world, the world that we use for training?

Shu: Yeah, if we make a request to the great priest Ibun, perhaps…

Masaki: Shu, this way of speaking is ambiguous for you.

Shu: Because it is the only idea. I become careful when I choose my words.

Masaki: Anyhow, there is no time. If there is a chance we'll bet on it. Head to Solatis temple!

  1. Scene 491#

Masaki: Even so, Demeksa. When were you able to use magic?

Demeksa: Well. I told you the story I trained at Solatis temple right?

Masaki: Ah, I see.

Mio: It was a long foreshadowing huh?

Masaki: Can I learn to use that magic?

Demeksa: If it is a Masouki pilot, you have the quality more or less. I think you can master it to some degree.

Mio: Even Tyutti-san is using all sorts of things.

Kuro: Even we can use a little magic.

Masaki: ...Now that you mention it, that?

Shiro: In short because Masaki immediately pushed troublesome matters on us, we had no choice but to learn.

Kuro: Yeah yeah. We have our limit of being able to do things in this form. It can't be helped to learn magic.

Masaki: Understood, understood. It's my fault.

Demeksa: When this war has ended, how about you receive lessons from great priest Ibun?

Masaki: ...That old woman is hard for me to deal with. Since she immediately treats other people like children.

Demeksa: My, my. I'll assist you as much as I can, then.

Masaki: Right... That sounds good. For that reason, we can't lose this war.

Demeksa: Yeah, let's finish the curse of Volkruss. 

#Scene 492#

Ibun: Oh dear... You ask for extravagant things.

Masaki: I know it is excessive. So can you do it or not?

Ibun: ...It might be possible. Based on a theory.

Wagener: There is a problem?

Ibun: First of all, something like sending all members of Antilles Corp to the elemental world is beyond my capacity. Secondly, if you lose, you can't return.

Masaki: If we lose we can't turn back? That's the same as now. There is no other way.

Shu: To defeat the terror that Volkruss gives, a hope that exceeds that is necessary. Can you tell us the specific problem?

Ibun: ...Like I said a while ago, it is impossible for me to do it alone. Even borrowing the power of REB.

Demeksa: How about I help you?

Ibun: Demeksa... Are you Ok with that? Certainly your will is high but…

Demeksa: I am prepared.

Ibun: But... I heard that you are just getting married…

Demeksa: Er, thank you. Fortunately we're lovey dovey.

Ibun: No, not that but… Nevermind, let's do it.

Demeksa: Because in my way I soil the lowest seat of a Masouki pilot.

Ibun: Good grief... You make old people do absurd things.

Wagener: Then, Ibun-sama?

Ibun: Yeah, I'll try to do something about it. It will take a bit of time for preparation. Demeksa, accompany me.

Demeksa: Got it. ... Masaki: Damn, earthquakes again…

Wendy: Look like it is happening around the whole of La Gias. Seems we don't have much time.

Ibun: I finished preparing.

Masaki: We're in time!

Shu: By the way, what will we do?

Ibun: All members get into Hringhorni. I'll throw you together with Hringhorni into the gap of the elemental world. And, I'll drag Elsine and Volkruss in the exact same way.

Shu: Heavy work... How do we return?

Ibun: I also stored the charm for the part of returning beforehand. It is Ok if all members get into Hringhorni again. The rest of you will return automatically.

Shu: Automatically?

Ibun: Well, I'm thinking of the worst case. Because I don't know what will happen.

Shu: Is there a thing we must pay attention to in the gap?

Ibun: Well, probably a lot of strange things will occur. Please ask Masaki and his friends' experience about that matter.

Shu: I see... Understood.

Ibun: And, because Demeksa is helping me, he can't join the battle. Don't forget that. Then, you can go.

Masaki: Ok! Wait for us, old lady. We'll exterminate Elsine and Volkruss! 

--------------------------------
Stage 74: The closing revelation
--------------------------------

#Scene 493 (Map)#

Elsine: ...This is?

Shu: Look like this is also your first experience. This is the gap between reality and the elemental world.

Elsine: This is... the gap of the elemental world…

Masaki: It is our invitation. How do you like it?

Elsine: Yes, interesting plan. If it is this place, we can demonstrate our power as much as we want.

Shu: But to Volkruss, being defeated here implies his annihilation, sealing.

Elsine: That is the reason you invited us here?

Shu: Of course. Aside from that there is no other way to destroy Volkruss.

Elsine: I still have the job sending all humanity to the side of God. But it can not be done too slowly…

Masaki: Don't worry. We will get rid of your time anxiety!

Yanglong: We don't need to exchange words anymore. Let's finish all of our business here, Elsine.

Elsine: ...Right. That's the only road we can choose.

Saphine: Sister, let me treat this as the final farewell.

Elsine: Saphine... Poor child. You must be on the wrong path through my carelessness…

Saphine: I decide the road I walk.

Shu: Well, I regret this parting but... it is time we say goodbye to you.

Elsine: Right... It is too bad.

Masaki: Let's settle things by this battle!! 

[Saphine vs Elsine]

Saphine: I won't forgive whoever opposes Shu-sama, even if it is Sister!

Elsine: Saphine... Even if I'm envious of that obedient, I think it is unpleasant. 

[Yanglong vs Elsine]

Elsine: ...Yanglong-sama.

Yanglong: The only thing I can do now is to end your suffering.

Elsine: Fufu... That is an unreasonable discussion. I... as long as you live... 

*Elsine persuades Yanglong (this will happen if you put Yanglong next to Elsine)*

Elsine: Yanglong-sama... This is my last request. Please join us.

Yanglong: Shut up. My determination won't shake.

Elsine: As I thought... This is why you are Yanglong-sama.

Yanglong: ...Why do you chase after me so?

Elsine: It is an embarrassing story but I'm different from my younger sister. I've had no love affairs or romantic relationships at my age. That's why while I know that it’s immature, it is difficult for me to deal with these thoughts.

Yanglong: That is… Well, I reject you. “The blossom flower went through wind and rain”, separation in a human's life is an inevitable thing. Let's make this the parting word.

Elsine: ...Yes. 

*Elsine defeated*

Masaki: We did it!?

Shu: No... Looks like there is something else.

Elsine: I see... At last I can understand the special characteristic of the elemental world's gap.

Masaki: Why won't she die!?

Elsine: Have you forgotten that I've one more incarnation of God?

Shu: ...I was suspicious that I didn't see him but, as I thought he was here… The harmony God, Ruzamuno Rasphitot!

Elsine: As expected of Christoph. You noticed it. Then I'll show you... The incarnation of Volkruss-sama... Ruzamuno Rasphitot-sama!

Masaki: You... How!

Elsine: The one who invited us is great priest Ibun right? I also can do what she can do.

Yanglong: You summoned Rasphitot!

Shu: It is a being very close to the real thing, like Volkruss... This is a bit troublesome.

Elsine: Well, by this point all preparations are in order. I'll give God's gospel to all living things. I'll give equal death to all living things.

Wendy: !? That serial of light... Tremendous amount of prana!?

Masaki: What's that!?

Wendy: An unthinkable amount of prana from the two evil Gods flow into Elsine!

Shu: Unlimited prana... In other words, she is immortal?

Masaki: Then, the solution is simple! First we must beat the two evil Gods!

Shu: Hmph... Simple but correct. You're great, Masaki.

Ryune: First we must kill off Rasphitot and Volkruss, right!?

Masaki: Yeah! She is the last one... Let's put an end to this!! 

*S Volkruss defeated*

S Volkruss: Nuu... At the gap between the elemental world and the real world, my power is still imperfect... I fell behind again... 

*R Rasphitot defeated*

R Rasphitot: Why...do you fight to this extent? If you entrust everything to me, there will be a world without war... 

*Elsine defeated by anyone other than Yanglong*

Elsine: You are splendid, everyone.

Masaki: It ends here... You and Volkruss, and Rasphitot.

Elsine: Yeah, I'm regretting it but... That's correct... Sorry, Volkruss-sama. Because my power is imperfect…

Masaki: What are you saying at this late hour...? You still split out Volkruss!

Elsine: I regret that I couldn't save humans but... I've accomplished my mission…

Shu: You insist that you didn't make a mistake.

Elsine: You too Christoph. You who once walked on the same road with me still don't understand...?

Shu: ...I understand the pain. It seems like you were too late.

Elsine: Shiva Volkruss-sama... Now I'll come under you...

  • Elsine defeated by Yanglong*

Elsine: Ah... Yanglong-sama…

Yanglong: “Even if you love, you'll know evil, even if you hate you'll know good”… That is the last words I send to you.

Elsine: Love... You uttered it for the first time...?

Yanglong: Yeah... I understand that isn't the right word to say at such a time but… I love you.

Elsine: I find happiness by just hearing that word. I also... love you... Yanglong-sama...

Yanglong: ...Elsine.

Ryune: At the end... Elsine is Elsine herself…

Shu: Her heart was assimilated completely with Volkruss. I can say it was eaten by Volkruss.

Saphine: Sister…

Masaki: ...Shit! Even if we won... What is this miserable feeling!

Mio: ...Tian-san would probably say this: All worldly things are transitory, matter is void, emptiness is form.

Yanglong: ...

Tyutti: Yanglong... You wanted to save Elsine right?

Yanglong: If I brush away the stretching hand and then conversely present it, I'll be at my wit's end right? I have no regrets.

Wendy: The world was saved, at least. We accomplished our mission as a Masoukishin pilot splendidly.

Shu: Certainly the hopelessness and terror filling the world will disappear by this. By the light of hope called Antilles Corp. If the light becomes strong, the darkness also deepens. If the light illuminates everywhere, everyplace will be covered by darkness…

Masaki: Eh? Shu, what did you say?

Shu: Nothing, I'm speaking to myself. Don't mind me. It is time. Let's return to Hringhorni. 

#Scene 494#

Ibun: Well done, everyone.

Masaki: Yeah... Somewhat.

Yanglong: …

Ibun: There was no method to save Elsine. I feel sorry for you but…

Yanglong: No, I know. I prepared myself for this.

Saphine: Yanglong…

Mio: Ibun-sama, is Demeksa-san alright?

Ibun: Mu... Demeksa...? We're a bit late.

Mio: Eh...? Hey... Don't tell me…

Ibun: That's also my thought. I didn't think it would turn into such a thing…

Masaki: H-hey... What does that mean?

Holy: I... Ibun-sama... Demeksa-san is...?

Ibun: ...He is in the next room.

Mio: Demeksa-san!! Eh? Ehh? Demeksa...san?

Holy: Demeksa-san, nothing happened to you! ...Thanks God.

Demeksa: …

Mio: Good grief, don't make us worry about you. Because Ibun-sama used a strange manner of speaking we misunderstood.

Demeksa: …

Mio: ? Hey. Stop playing games and at least reply to me, Demeksa-san.

Holy: Demeksa-san?

Demeksa: Ah... Wait a bit more. I almost obtained a new item~.

Mio: Uh... This inanimate half-hearted reply... The figure that is not taking his eyes off the monitor... This is, don't tell me… A net game shut-in!?

Ibun: After we sent you guys to the elemental word, we had a bit of spare time. When we began to kill time, he was being completely crazy about it.

Holy: Demeksa-san! It is me, Holy!

Demeksa: Ah, yes. Let's leave things later since my level will increase if I beat this animal~.

Mio: Uwa, even Holy can't drag him out of it? This is a serious illness.

Masaki: ...If you ain't immune to games you'll turn like this?

Mio: He sympathizes deeply.

Wendy: Well, now we shouldn't ruin his fun. If he does it a bit more, because I think there will be timing when he quits. At that time there is a chance.

Mio: ? Wendy-san, you gave excellent details. Maybe you had experience in net games?

Wendy: Eh? Well... Only a bit.

Mio: What, even Wendy-san plays games? What kind of game did you play?

Wendy: Eh? Fu, general game! Very general! Like for all ages, everyone!

Mio: ...But I'm not asking thus far particularly. It is easier to draw than to force?

Ibun: Well, I and Holy will look after Demeksa for a while. You’ve been invited to the royal palace. Go.

Masaki: Royal palace?

Ibun: I heard there are medals and thank-you letters for you.

Masaki: Ah, that formal ceremony again? It can't be helped. 

#Scene 495#

Quintinus: ...Therefore, I'll express my gratitude to Antilles Corp in place of all La Gias citizens. The 289th king of the holy kingdom Langran, Quintinus Gran Billseia.

Tyutti: We humbly receive it.

Xenia: ...Quintinus, you shaved your beard.

Quintinus: ...Because you said it didn’t fit me.

Xenia: ...Yeah, this is better.

Quintinus: ...Oops, the grand chamberlain is staring. Well, see you later, Xenia.

Xenia: ...Ok. 

#Scene 496#

Saphine: …

Monica: Ah, as I thought you were here.

Terius: You made a graveyard at an awfully desolate place.

Saphine: Because both my parents' graves were here. After all, it is better that Sister was together with them.

Terius: Saphine doesn't seem the type to visit a grave.

Saphine: I think so too. But, because she was the only remaining member of my family…

Monica: Saphine... I know how you feel.

Saphine: I don't want you to sympathize with me… But, I’ll accept something like a garnish flower.

Monica: Yes, let me do that.

Terius: Ah, I’ll also bring flowers. Is that alright?

Saphine: I don't mind that. Even you can be sensitive, Terius.

Terius: Chris... Shu said take it. He said because we're like a family.

Saphine: Family… Hey, Terius! Do you think that is Shu-sama's proposal?

Monica: If that theory is true, I think it also applies to me…

Saphine: You are like his younger sister!

Terius: Then, I'll be his younger brother? I don't want an older sister like Saphine.

Saphine: Silence!

Yeah, Shu-sama, at last we…

Monica: Therefore, I also have that qualification.

Saphine: I have to quickly make a reservation at the ceremony hall! I wonder if the Langran style is good?

Monica: Er, Saphine?

Saphine: The dress is a white kimono... No, I'll show the elegance based on black…

Monica: You’re completely ignoring me?

Terius: Because she switched into bride-mode. Well, let's leave her alone for a bit.

Monica: What is bride-mode?

Terius: ...Do you have no self-awareness? Elder sister Monica, it is a habit you always do right? You transmitted it to Saphine right?

Monica: ...That was it? If you see with your own eyes in this way, you feel bad. From now on I have to be careful.

Saphine: Eh? ...You bad-mouthing me just now?

Terius: Ah, she became normal again.

Shu: The three of you, what are you doing?

Saphine: Ah, Shu-sama!!

Shu: It is time we depart. Have you well-prepared?

Terius: Ah, sorry. The preparation is more or less finished. On top of that, Chr... Shu, you didn’t visit the graveyard?

Shu: ...Elsine wouldn't be happy even if I offer flowers to her soul.

Saphine: ...Right.

Shu: It is a natural thing to think about the dead but it depends on time and occasion. I and Elsine weren't able to share understanding to the end.

Terius: I don't get it but... there is a feeling of mourning for the dead in you, yes?

Shu: Yeah.

Terius: Then it is not so bad right? The dead won't complain.

Shu: That's why you have to respect the will of the late person but… Nonetheless, there is truth in Terius' words. I won’t say you are a dear person but... Elsine, I wish peace comes to you…

Saphine: ...Shu-sama. ... Yanglong: ...I can't speak to you now but... at least please accept my mourning for you, Elsine… Now, it is the real farewell, Elsine. I love you even now. 

#Scene 497#

Rodney: Yes yes, I know! That's why I'm in the middle of preparation… Ah, because I got a catch, see you later, yeah, sure. Yes, this is Gesha. Ah, I already finished preparing that. The sign was completed. I say it is finished, it is already being accepted. Please don't talk absurdly. Yes, bye… Phew~... At last I could have lunch. Lunch box, lunch box… What!? What!? My lunch box is… Who!? Now I'm busy! Leave it later!

Akraid: Er~, it is Barom…

Rodney: Ah, it is you? I'm sorry but now I'm in the middle of work. Leave it later.

Akraid: ...You heard that, Madam?

Eris: I see... If he is busy it can't be helped.

Rodney: Eh!? Wait! Eris!?

Eris: Yeah, right.

Rodney: You should've told me earlier, fuck-wit! Come in, come in!

Akraid: Sorry then.

Eris: We are disturbing you, right?

Rodney: What are you saying! Nothing is more important than to meet you, Eris!

Eris: Good grief, you. Right right, you forgot your lunch box?

Rodney: Oh, right. Sorry, even though you went through trouble making it…

Eris: Fufu, that's why I brought along this.

Rodney: Pot and gas burner?

Eris: Because I also brought the ingredients, can I make a light cook here?

Rodney: Ok! Such a thing! Alright! Because the ventilation is doing properly you can also use the fire.

Eris: Then, I'll cook from now.

Rodney: Is that Ok? Will it harm our child?

Eris: Don't worry. If I exercise moderation, on the contrary it is useful.

Rodney: Really? Well then, I'm counting on you.

Eris: Yeah, wait a bit longer.

Rodney: I'll wait, no matter how long it takes!

Akraid: Er, ahem.

Rodney: ...What, Akraid? You're still here?

Akraid: What are you saying? I was always here.

Rodney: Sorry. I couldn't catch sight of anyone except Eris.

Akraid: Yes yes, you lovey-dovey.

Rodney: I already told you before. I won't share my food.

Akraid: I know. On top of that the story is…

Rodney: ...Don't you think it is unpleasant since Eris is here?

Akraid: Well, no, I don't mind it particularly. About the next congress…

Rodney: The revision of election law? I'm sorry. I won't change my opinion.

Akraid: I see... It can't be helped. I also work at the multiparty?

Rodney: This time the opinion is separated. Well, I'm expecting your skill.

Akraid: Understood. By the way, I'm hungry.

Rodney: But I'm sure I refused before?

Akraid: No, I just wanted to see what you'd say.

Rodney: You should also quickly get a wife.

Akraid: Even to men that's a minor sexual harassment.

Rodney: ...I’m a bit worried for you about that matter.

Akraid: Because I don’t have a family?

Rodney: Sort of. At least if you have a wife, you will understand a bit.

Akraid: Even if I am being told so, my fate is mine.

Eris: It is done, Rodney.

Rodney: Oh yeah!

Eris: Yes, then because it is hot... Phew, phew... Yes, say 'aah'.

Rodney: Aah.

Akraid: ...I shouldn't stay here longer. Bye! 

#Scene 498#

Rico: We’re home!

Nico: Uncle Leffen! There was a special sale of Tiki-bird's breast meat!

Leffen: Ah, welcome back. Did you enjoy the town that you haven't seen in a long time?

Nico: I was being photographed by odd guys... To make matters worse they wanted to shake hands with me.

Leffen: Mu... That's not good. We're being chased even in this countryside.

Nico: I didn’t have a problem but Rico bursted into tears, it was very troublesome.

Rico: The chasers were... scary.

Leffen: Good grief... I've to think of some kind of solution…

Nico: Well, I did a severe enquiry.

Leffen: ...You used constancy eternity style?

Nico: Eh? A... Well, er, minor, it is minor. I think I didn't break their bones. Probably.

Leffen: You mustn't do that. No matter how insolent the opponent is, that's too much.

Nico: But... I must protect Rico as her elder sister…

Leffen: Protecting a person is good. However, you mustn't go too far. Looks like you haven't got enough training.

Rico: ...Training again?

Leffen: At least to the level you can go easy on an amateur opponent properly.

Rico: Uh~...

Nico: Rico hates training?

Rico: I don’t hate it but... I rather like riding Masouki.

Nico: Ahaha, me too.

Leffen: The constancy eternity style can also apply to Masouki. You forgot? The attack that you two use at the same time is the thing that applied the form of constancy eternity style.

Nico: Ah... Now that you mention it.

Rico: Really...?

Leffen: If you train properly, you can use more wonderful techniques.

Nico: Really!?

Rico: I wanna use wonderful techniques!

Leffen: Then, I hope you train properly and diligently. Good?

Nico: Yes!

Rico: Got it! 

#Scene 499#

Masaki: Eh? This is rare. Becky drinking alcohol alone.

Becky: Even I sometimes feel downcast alone. Especially today I plan to make an offering to Tian.

Masaki: ...I see.

Becky: I also have a thing that isn't alcohol. Drink with me, Masaki.

Masaki: Yeah... That sounds good too.

Becky: Which reminds me, this is your first time?

Masaki: Yeah, sort of. I haven't done this till now.

Becky: There, there, well then, entrust everything to this elder sister.

Masaki: Uh, yeah.

Ryune: Stop RIGHT THERE!!

Wendy: No, Masaki! Why!?

Masaki: Uoh!? Ryune, Wendy?

Ryune: While we're here, what do you think you're doing...? Eh? What?

Wendy: Well... Er…

Masaki: What? Your faces changed.

Ryune: A, no, er... Nothing... right?

Wendy: Y-yeah... Nothing…

Becky: ...Uh-huh. You were eavesdropping?

Ryune: W-what are you saying!?

Wendy: Right right. It can't be eavesdropping. Accidentally when we're walking along the hallway, the door cracked open a bit…

Ryune: Y-yeah! We heard you guys accidentally, accidentally!

Becky: Interesting statement but... Well, won’t interfere. In short, you're misunderstanding. What did you hear?

Ryune: Ah... Drink with me, that time?

Becky: I see... That is also a misunderstanding. Look, there. I confirmed by the background, just now.

Masaki: What are you talking about?

Becky: Phew... That's why. You two had unnecessary anxiety.

Ryune: ...Certainly.

Wendy: Right…

Masaki: W-why you two look at me with such pitiful eyes!?

Becky: ......Well, I got something to discuss with you guys. Now that we've come this far, it is human nature to grow to want to do something right?

Ryune: Something?

Becky: It is an obvious something right? I'll leave this room in a little while. And then, I'll guard outside. So... About 2 hours for two persons?

Ryune: Er... 2 hours?

Wendy: I don't know if it is long or short…

Ryune: ...Ah.

Becky: Oh, look like this person also understood. Well, because I think it is a feat of strength, I'll finish it quick and easy so don't worry.

Ryune: E, er, forcibly?

Becky: Forcibly.

Wendy: It's hardly necessary to say, but... I think you've to consider the importance of the will of the persons concerned.

Becky: Will? By him? Hah!

Masaki: W, what!? Why do you laugh scornfully!?

Ryune: ...Where is Shiro and Kuro?

Masaki: Eh? Now, they're helping Xenia. They have some kind of relationship with this?

Becky: I see... In that case. It is a once in a lifetime chance isn't it?

Ryune: B, but…

Wendy: As I thought er…

Becky: So, are you OK with things staying as they are now?

Ryune: Even if I was told such a thing...

Wendy: Since it is a sudden, er…

Ryune: But well, if Wendy-san says that's Ok then I don't particularly…

Wendy: It doesn't mean I re, reject but... If Ryune is together with me then…

Masaki: ...!? W, what... Just now... Terrible chill... This is the will of elemental?

Becky: Oh? Look like you noticed something?

Masaki: ...Cybuster is calling me! I've to go!!

Ryune: Ah, wait, Masaki!?

Wendy: The will of elemental... Such an excuse is possible?

Becky: Ahaha... Look like the rival of you two is Cyphis.

Ryune: ...That thing becomes a rival?

Wendy: Well... I also don't understand.

Becky: For the present, it looks like this situation will continue. Well, because it is interesting I'm alright with it.

Ryune: To us…

Wendy: It is no laughing matter~. 

#Scene 500#

Xenia: Yes, this. Please send it to the Langran government.

Fang: Yes, ma’am!

Guido: Even though electronization improved so much, I can't believe the personnel letters have to be handwritten.

Xenia: Because it is hardest to forge. Mefil, you gathered the data?

Mefil: There is no problem~.

Mio: I'm finished filling documents~.

Fang: Already sent!

Xenia: Thank you for your hard work. Ah, I'm thirsty.

Fang: I'll bring the tea!

Xenia: T-thanks. Bring me Maraka tea. Two sugars.

Fang: Yes, ma’am!

Mio: ...Fang is completely Xenia-san's gopher.

Xenia: Because he says he wants to help me even though he can't use the computer.

Tyutti: Xenia, is there something we can help you with?

Yanglong: Well, but we can't do important technical things.

Xenia: Ah, you two. Is that side Ok?

Tyutti: Yeah, we already finished the discussion with the Shutedonias unification government.

Yanglong: Given the situation so far. Almost all of our demands were accepted.

Xenia: I see. Then, let's take a short rest.

Guido: Right.

Mio: Concurred!

Mefil: Yes~.

Yanglong: By the way, about Volkruss and Rasphitot…

Xenia: Ah, there is no progress about that. The story we heard from Christoph is our only solid lead.

Tyutti: The trinity theory of the three ancient evil Gods?

Xenia: Yeah. The last God... The creation God Gizos Guragios.

Tyutti: A God we’re completely unfamiliar with... Because he is being called evil God, maybe he is similar to the Gods so far.

Xenia: Probably.

Yanglong: Judging from our experience until now, maybe it is so. We sealed Volkruss and Rasphitot but, it is a being that can be the key to untie the seal. It is necessary to investigate before that can happen.

Guido: Good grief, even though the war finally ended and we took a short rest. Well, however, it is correct that it is peace time we've to prepare for war. Si.vis.pacem.para.beram?

Tyutti: “If you want peace, prepare for war?” The word of Vegetius?

Yanglong: “Stop the spear build up martial art.” (The kanji martial art is made of the kanji spear and the kanji stop) We are the military force that stops war.

Fang: I made Maraka tea! ...What, you people also have returned?

Mio: What are you trying to show off at this late hour?

Mefil: Fufu... Even if we're busy, peace is best.

Mio: Sort of…
