The Holy Langran kingdom
North east mountain area, historic ruins

#Scene 1#

Masaki: Shuu. 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 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!!

    [Cybaster 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. What the hell 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!?

Precia: 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 Ruozorl.

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 to 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.

[Precia vs Volkruss]

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

Volkruss: ...This thread is...

Precia: !? My head... hurts...

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

Precia: 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.

[Precia vs Satils]

Precia: What... unpleasant machine.

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

Precia: 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. What the hell 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 Precia 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 Ruozorl 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 lie 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
 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 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 Cybaster?

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 Cybaster...

Wendy: Ah, Masaki. You plan to use Cybaster?

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

Wendy: Sorry. Now Cybaster 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)! Btw, 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: Btw, 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... Btw, 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. ...Btw 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 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 for 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 ter 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: Btw how old is Cherian-san?

Cherian: Me? 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 ceremony 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.

Pulesia: B-Brother, welcome back.

Ryune: Sorry for butting in.

Pulesia: Ah, you are with Ryune-san.

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

Pulesia: Ah, yes.

Masaki: We have visitors? This is rare.

Pulesia: 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?

Pulesia: Ah, yeah, this way.

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

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. Btw, 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 a 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 in 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 ahve ever survided 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 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 Ruozorl 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 enering 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#

If the device didn't receive damage*

Masaki: Thank you, Tian, Ahmed, Simone.

Xenia: Thanks to everyone, the barrier maintenance device is unhurt. The security bureau also sent us special bonus!

Charian: We were saved thanks to you. Thank you.

Tian: No, you controlled the ship magnificiently. You are a reliable crew.

Charian: Thank you.

Tian: Moreover there are lots of beautiful ladies. I'm really lucky.

If the device received damage*

Wendy: We got a scolding from the security bureau.

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

Wendy: But wasn't it damaged?

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

Wendy: I'm afraid so.

Ryune: Uwa, that is the height of stinginess.

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

Tian: It is useless to ask "what-if" at this point.

Charian: I wonder if "Someone-san" tried harder a bit then we could have probably protected it?

Tian: Simone, are you gonna let her say that?

Simone: ...Tian, she is talking about you.

Tian: Hey, that was a matter of a monk? Oh, damn! I didn't know that you appreciated me that much, Charian-dono. That's your name, if my memory is correct?

Charian: I'm not sure if you're jusr positive or you can't hear the inconvernient... A strange person.

Tian: Please call me Tian. Wow, before I knew it, another beauty has joined us.

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 at 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 tonegotiate 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 pricetag.

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?

???: That grapas doesn't have good sauce. I know of a 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 Cybaster and Valsione to our coordinate!

Cherian: Roger that. We also confirmed a mysterious Masouki from here. We'll send Cybaster 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... Soit’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: ...What the hell 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…

#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.

#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 36#

Wendy: Masaki... Er.

Masaki: Eh? What's wrong Wendy?

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 abilitiest!

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

#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.

Pulesia: T... That guy!?

Masaki: What's wrong, Pulesia?

Pulesia: That guy... I've met him before…

Masaki: What!?

Pulesia: 6 years ago, when I accompanied my father's work, we encountered an ambush…

Masaki: Ambush?

Pulesia: 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?

Pulesia: Y... Yeah.

Wulf: Oh... The girl from that time?

Pulesia: 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: What the hell 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 talking? You think you can beat me with your power?

[Pulesia vs Wulf]

Wulf: You are the daughter of Zenosakis, the old enemy of God...?

Pulesia: 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.

#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... What the hell 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 Volkruss society 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.

#Scene 41#

Wagener: Then, I'll confirm once more. You'll be put under the custody of 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.

#Scene 42#

Shu: Oh? You are…

Pulesia: !? Shu…

Shu: What a coincidence. You always hid yourself until now.

Pulesia: ...Because I didn’t want to meet you.

Shu: ...I see.

Pulesia: ...I'm different from Brother.

Shu: …

Pulesia: I will never forgive you…

Shu: ...I understand. I'll leave the ship soon. If you have business with me, be quick.

Pulesia: ...

#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...

#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, Pulesia. What's wrong?

Pulesia: Eh? E-er... Shu, where is he?

Xenia: He just left a short time ago. You have something to talk to him about?

Pulesia: N-no... Good then.

Wendy: ...Pulesia.

Pulesia: Eh? What?

Wendy: I won’t say you should forgive him. But, try to accept that he is different from before.

Pulesia: ...

#Scene 45#

Masaki: Hey, did you see Pulesia?

Ryune: Eh? Pulesia? 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 Pulesia here!?

Wendy: Kyah!? You made me surprised... Why are you panicking?

Masaki: Where is Pulesia!?

Wendy: Pulesia 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 Cybaster 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: Pulesia is more mature than you think. She won't repeat the nonsense like ranning 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 Cybaster.

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 Pulesia…

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

#Scene 46 (Map)#

Shu: ...Hey. How long do you intend to hide yourself?

Pulesia: …

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.

Pulesia: …

Shu: ...Good grief.

Pulesia: ...Fight me.

Shu: Oh, finally you speak. But... fight you?

Pulesia: ...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?

Pulesia: My father fought you in Zeolast even though he knew THAT!

Shu: ...Understood. Then, I'll accept your challenge.

Pulesia: Let's go!!

[Diablo attacks Granzon]

Pulesia: I'm not yet finished!!

[Attack again]

Pulesia: Stop mocking me! Attack!

Shu: No mockery intended. Even if you want to fight me, I don’t. That's all.

Pulesia: Now that is mocking!

Shu: Maybe you won't believe me... but I respected your father.

Pulesia: 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.

Pulesia: 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.

Pulesia: 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…

Pulesia: …

Shu: Confronting the daughter of such a man, I have no intention to look down on her.

Pulesia: 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.

Pulesia: Eh...?

Shu: You can't counter with it, but all moves will be negated... It is the secret of God eternity style.

Pulesia: 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.

Pulesia: The technique of God eternity style… ...Let's do it!

Shu: Yeah, come on.

Pulesia: !? That is…

Shu: Oh... Splendid. Just now you saw through my swordsmanship.

Pulesia: 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.

Pulesia: Passed down from my father…

Shu: Then, I believe that is done. Is there anything else you want?

Pulesia: ...That's enough.

Shu: Really...?

Pulesia: 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.

Pulesia: ...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?

Pulesia: 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.

Pulesia: 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.

Pulesia: (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.

Pulesia: 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: Pulesia! Are you alright!?

Pulesia: Brother!?

Shu: You came at last. That overprotective attitude isn't like you, Masaki.

Masaki: Shut up! So you haven't done anything to Pulesia?

Pulesia: 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.

[Pulesia 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.

Pulesia: You can do it!?

[Pulesia vs Volkruss]

Pulesia: 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: ...Pulesia, I want to ask you about Shu but…

Pulesia: I can't forgive him but I decided not to do it.

Masaki: Eh?

Pulesia: I was thinking of revenge but I stopped for now

Shu: Hmm… For now huh?

Pulesia: 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: ...Pulesia, 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…

Pulesia: Brother.

Masaki: What!? H-hey, don't hold me!

Pulesia: Thank you for caring. But don't worry because nothing happened.

Masaki: I-I see…

Ryune: ...That is good but, Pulesia.

Wendy: That hug is for reunion but... isn't it a bit too long?

Pulesia: It is alright since we are brother and sister.

Masaki: N-no it is not! You're already 13 years old.

Pulesia: 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 Pulesia was wearing a swimsuit.

Wendy: Eh!? Pulesia, you have bathed with him?

Pulesia: 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: ...Pulesia-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...

Pulesia: ...Shu, thanks.

Masaki: !? Hey, wait. What thanks? As I thought, something must have happened!?

Pulesia: 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. Btw, 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: Btw, 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! What the hell 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

#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!

#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.

#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 become 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...

#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.

#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: Demexor is there. Ask him how his training is going. That guy hasn't contacted any of us recently.

Tyutti: Roger.

#Scene 56#

Ibun: I see... Tian is…

Demexor: 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.

Demexor: Er, how about I lend you a hand?

Ibun: Demexor, you just completed your training. Have a rest.

Demexor: Yes.

Ibun: Then, let's go, Tyutti.

Tyutti: Yes.

Mio: …

Demexor: …

Mio: …

Demexor: Ah~... Well~... I feel sorry for Tian-san.

Mio: !

Demexor: Ah, no... Oh, right, I should make tea.

Mio: … … …

Demexor: Sorry for making you wait. I make good tea. It is almost the same taste and smell with high-quality green tea.

Mio: …

Demexor: Drink it while it's hot.

Mio: Hey.

Demexor: Yes?

Mio: Why... were you laughing?

Demexor: ...Me?

Mio: Tian-san is dead!!

Demexor: I see…

Mio: Demexor-san!!

Demexor: Because if the brother and sister won't laugh, they will cry.

Mio: Eh?

Demexor: It is a bit long story. You want to hear it?

Mio: Y-yeah…

Demexor: 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!

Demexor: It's nothing. The truth is because of that smiling face, I was rejected by my girlfriend. No, you really got me. Ahaha.

Mio: …

Demexor: 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.

Demexor: Er, I can't say it went well but, I think you should cry when you want to cry.

Mio: Demexor-san is... strong.

Demexor: 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…

Demexor: 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?

Demexor: 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…

Demexor: Thought...? That is also a heavy thing. Ah, I'm not joking.

Mio: Haha... I understand.

Demexor: Ah, you smile at last.

Mio: Ah, really?

Demexor: 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?

Demexor: Yeah, that's right. It is an earth elemental.

Mio: Elemental...? The will of elemental…

Demexor: 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?

Demexor: That's right.

Mio: I see... Even only a bit, I think I understand.

Demexor: 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
------------------------

#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 what the hell 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.

Demexor: Is it like an elemental?

Ibun: Oh... You are sharp, Demexor.

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 become used to it but…

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 stopl, 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? What the hell 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 change. 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 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.

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

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 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!

Demexor: 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 only drop 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 pretend 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?

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.

#Scene 70#

Demexor: 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...

#Scene 71#

Pulesia: Brother, Elsine-san already left?

Masaki: Eh? You haven't met her?

Pulesia: Yeah, I took time to finish the report.

Masaki: Report? Wait. That job is Xenia's right?

Pulesia: Since Xenia-san is busy with disposal the information, I have to give priority to that first. Masaki: What about Becky? Ah, no, she retired from it.

Pulesia: Yeah. Btw, the remaining were Tsrein-san and Mefil-san but…

Masaki: Eh? Tsrein was there when I met Elsine.

Pulesia: If we make that person completes the report, he will let out too much odd expressions, so…

Masaki: Yeah, you relief since he is useless right?

Pulesia: At that time I plan to receive writing but this time I probably have to open to the public. By that point, Mefil-san is an expert but, on contrary she is packed too much…

Masaki: I see. You mean if you don't check it carefully it is a disaster?

Pulesia: Yeah.

Masaki: You want to meet Elsine that much?

Pulesia: Because she is famous. Even Father is... ...Wait? I don't remember how Father will react?

Masaki: Dad Zeoroot knew Elsine-san?

Pulesia: Yeah... I remembered that but it is a bit vague.

Masaki: Really? Well, someday I'll meet her again but, I don't care.

Simone: Ah, there you are. You two, come to the briefing rom. Because I think we have duty.

Masaki: Why? Something happened?

Simone: The situation seems complicated. Come anyway.

Masaki: Understood.

#Scene 72#

Wagener: Two problems occured at the same time. One is about Shutedonias, while the other is about lady Elsine. First is Shutedonias. We found out that Shutedonias broke up.

Rodney: Shit!!

Eris: Yeah... What a news…

Wagener: The northern union and southern union separated from each other and declared their independent. Although they don't declare war on each other, I won't be surprised if they do. Masaki: And, how about Elsine?

Ahmed: That is my news. I don't understand the reason but, the plan to assassinate Elsine still has a second bullet.

Masaki: You mean the action of that bastard Eric was only the opening? Who is the boss?

Ahmed: I haven't reached that far.

Tyutti: We can't overlook both of them…

Rodney: Then I have a suggestion. I and Eris will go to the direction of northern Shutedonias… We will infiltrate and look at every direction. We've plenty of connections.

Masaki: Is it alright if there are only two of you?

Eris: There is no need for more. We're from Shutedonias.

Wagener: I see. That is a good method. Then we're counting on you two. The pilots of Masoukishin, do you have any objection?

Mio: Yes, it is fine if there is old man.

Masaki: Right... Since we will be busy with Elsine, I'll leave it to you guys.

Tyutti: Right.

Rodney: Ok! We'll do something about it.

Simone: Then, for Elsine's, specifically how will they do it?

Becky: There are many ways. Shooting, explosive, poisoning…

Wendy: As long as she is inside the church, I don't think we have to be worry that much about shooting. Maybe the opponent that can use a very high magic technique can do it but…

Demexor: Yeah. The barrier of the church can even prevent explosive.

Mio: Then, how about poison?

Wendy: I don't think it is easy for them to get close to the ones near Elsine.

Masaki: In short, you mean it is best to approach her by Masouki?

Charian: Then, we'll stay in this area and open a net for them?

Masaki: Since we can't read opponent's movement, it seems there is no other choice.

#Scene 73#

Simone: Certainly it is a panoramic view of the area of the church from here but... They really can't see this warship?

Toni: Yeah, the shield are working properly. As long as we don't move, even the elemental radar won't react. In exchange of that, the output of the defense barrier is below 1/3 of its power.

Masaki: Ahmed, what do you think they aim at by the plan of assassinating Elsine?

Ahmed: The highest possibility is to beckon the clashing between north and south. Because using Elsine's influence is best for preventing the war.

Masaki: There are guys who fancy the military clash? You mean those guys are wire puller?

Ahmed: Don't jump to a hasty conclusion, Masaki. As for the riot of Shutedonias there are foundations that against historical. Probably there are people planning to take advantage of that but, even if we exclude that, basically we can't solve anything.

Masaki: Against historical?

Ahmed: To say it simple, the south were control by the north, they are bitter by heavy taxes, the north were betrayed by the south, they are bitter by losing the war. That was a story almost 4000 years ago.

Masaki: Even 4000? That is too bitter.

Ahmed: The cause is just a old story. After that many things happened and everytime, a new grudge is borned. The problem is much more complicated than we thought. It is not a simple story that if we just beat the one behind the curtain, everything will end. If you knew the details, learn by yourself.

Masaki: Alright…

Ahmed: It is just right from when we dispatched Rodney. If it is them…

Holy: There are signals from the elemental radar! It is not a common one!

Masaki: So they came!

Wagener: Everyone, go back to your preparing position!

----------------------------
Stage 13: Pulesia and Elsine
----------------------------

#Scene 74 (Map)#

Omgared: ...An ambush? Somehow the information was leaked.

Masaki: You are... Omgared!? I can't believe you come to this place!

Omgared: I also want to say that. I couldn't think you are that intrusive to intervent even to Shutedonias.

Drep: What do we do now? The assassination is impossible since we're spotted.

Omgared: On the other hand, we can't withdraw if we don't fight them right? We also need to test the ability of the new type under custody. Since the observers are with us, we must do thing we just can do.

Mudeka: Good attitude. The Antilles Corp is my desirable opponent. It is a fate that we met! Prepare yourself, Masaki!

Masaki: ...Who are you?

Mudeka: I'm Mudeka Lavence!! The enemy of Rasetsu-sama, I'll take on you here!

Masaki: A guy related to Rasetsu again... Moreover, there are terrorists.

Mudeka: Your sins are heavy! You are just bunch of fool to think you can solve everything by power!! To beat you, chosing the path of war is the only option!

Simone: Very well! That man is at his worst luck! You're chosing the wrong opponent!

Mudeka: Simone... You dare talk even you are traitor!!

[Masaki vs Mudeka]

Mudeka: Masoukishin... If only you bastards don't exist this chaos will never happen!

Masaki: Don't pass the buck on people! Do something to your country by yourself!

[Masaki vs Omgared]

Masaki: You, WTH are you coming here for!?

Omgared: For fulfill my ideal. If you're also an Earthling, you should know the paradise of absolute democracy right?

Masaki: I don't understand politic at all!

Omgared: Hmph... Not having any knowledge is already a sin. Because Lagias has come to a revolutionary age.

Masaki: You make an excuse for war and assassination!?

[Simone vs Mudeka]

Mudeka: Simone!! Even if Rasetsu-sama like you, how dare you put him to shame!!

Simone: Exactly I own him but... Rasetsu... that man is wrong!!

*Omgared defeated*

Omgared: I see. The machine still has its flaw. But there are still results. I'll withdraw.

Mudeka: Damn, he only has mouth, that man.

*Mudeka defeated*

Mudeka: Shit... I'll save avenging Rasetsu-sama the other day!

(Omgared: Oh dear... That's how it turn to be if you act by personal grudge and can't understand justice)

#Scene 75#

Masaki: From before is Margaret, now is Mudeka, that guy Rasetsu has really loyal followers.

Simone: He is a good man as a superior. It is no surprise men pledge allegiance to him.

Masaki: But he had entrapped his subordinates.

Simone: He simply sacrifices the follower that he doesn't trust.

Pulesia: Brother, Brother.

Masaki: Oh, Pulesia. What's wrong?

Pulesia: Elsine has contacted us. She want to thank again so she asked us permission to come here.

Masaki: That person is also honest. Good then, guide her to the guest rom for me. Pulesia: Can I come too?

Masaki: Yeah, you said you want to meet her right? I don't mind.

Pulesia: Yahoo!

Elsine: I heard that you risked your life protecting me again this time. Thank you.

Masaki: That's nothing. That's our duty.

Elsine: Then, can I do anything to help you?

Masaki: I wonder…

Tyutti: Then, can you do us a speech to prevent the clashing of north and south?

Masaki: Speech? I see. That is probably good. What do ya think, Representative?

Wagener: That is probably one of the effective ways.

Masaki: Eh? You don't interest?

Wagener: No, not that I oppose it. Can you do it for us? Lady Elsine?

Elsine: I'll be happy to accept it if I'm helpful. But, you really entrust it to an amateur like me?

Tyutti: You underestimate yourself too much Elsine-sama. I'm sure everyone will listen to you.

Elsine: Understood. Then, I'll take it respectfully.

Masaki: Then, let's prepare. Eh? Pulesia, what's wrong with you?

Pulesia: ...Eh?

Masaki: No eh. Your face is red. Are you ill?

Pulesia: R, really? Now that you mention it, somewhat I feel…

Elsine: Let me see.

Pulesia: Eh? Ah, Elsine-san...?

Elsine: ...I see. You seem pile up fatigue a little. Hold on a short while.

Pulesia: Ah…

Elsine: How was it?

Pulesia: Thank you! I feel very comfortable.

Elsine: You are... Pulesia-sama?

Pulesia: Eh? Yeah, right. But, don't attach sama. Just call me by my name.

Elsine: Then, Pulesia. I realized I've met you before but... can you remember?

Pulesia: Eh? Um… Sorry, I can't think of it.

Elsine: Really? Then maybe I'm wrong. Then, Masaki-sama. If you finish preparing the speech please contact me. I'll be waiting at the church.

Masaki: Yeah, got it. Bye.

Elsine: Then please excuse me.

#Scene 76#

Masaki: W? What is that? Smell good.

Tsrein: Ah, Masaki-san. Now Tyutti-san is making sweet. Stay together with us if you like.

Masaki: Eh...Wait! You said it is Tyutti's handmade sweet!?

Mefil: Yes~. It is fun.

Masaki: C, cut it out! You two! Don't you know that Tyutti is…

Tyutti: Yes, sorry for waiting. I'm done. This is Kokemomo pie and deluxe doughnut.

Tsrein: Uwah, look tasty.

Tyutti: Oh, Masaki is here too? You want to eat together with us?

Masaki: Sorry! Your baking has too much sugar…

Tsrein: Ah!? S...sweet!?

Mefil: Eh~? Really? I think it is delicious…

Masaki: Mefil... You have no sense of taste?

Mio: Ah, you're eating sweet.

Charian: Oh, look good.

Wendy: Can we try?

Tyutti: Hey hey, we're flooding with customers. Feel free to eat, there're many.

Mio: Eh? It is your product Tyutti? E,er... I'll pass!

Charian: Huh? What does that mean?

Wendy: Wendy's handmade is a bit too sweet compare to the common one. But I don't mind it.

Masaki: A bit? That little? Wendy can deal with Tyutti's?

Wendy: Yeah, as long as I don't eat too much. I want sugar for the head.

Charian: I see... Then, I'll test one…Eh!? It is too sweet! I'm having a headache…

Mio: ...Wait. If you eat Tyutti's cake calmly, that means…

Tyutti: ...Yeah, I did well even if I say so myself.

Mefil: Delicious.

Wendy: As long as you don't eat alot, I would say it is just right…

Mio: You three. In contrast, the one who haven't eat... other than Masaki…

Charian: W, what? Why are you grazing at people's breast?

Mio: Could it be!? Sugar!? The sweet raises it!?

Charian: What? ...Certainly, now that you mention it.

Mio: The girls say sugar and spice can do marvelous things but... I haven't realized sugar is THAT important!! I'll also eat!!

Charian: Hmm... That is unavoidable. I also prepared... Here.

Masaki: H, hey, cut it out! Stop the nonsense, you two!

Mio: In the palace! Release the samurai's compassion for me! (WTH is this?)

Masaki: Don't talk stupid! Look at Charian!

It is too bad but, she wasn't good enough... Charian: Guh... Ugh... I only bite but... This is the limit... After all I'm in nowhere…

Mio: Charian-san... I'll not let you die in vain! I'll avenge you!

Masaki: Ah, hey!?

Mio: I can't stop!! There are time a woman must do even she knew it is reckless! Now! Now is the time!!

Masaki: Mio... Right. If you prepare that much don't stop. I'll collect your bones.

Mio: ...Thank you, Masaki. Home waterway! The preparation for the time of do or die is finish! Well, sortie! (very hard to translate this, sorry. The romaji is: Kikamio. Taorete ato yamu no...)

Goku: Master!! You are a man…

Hakkai: No, just a girl.

Mio: Uh... Not yet! One more bite…

Shit... This far only? I regret…

Masaki: ...Mio, you have a wonderful last moment.

Tyutti: ...But it is tasty.

Scene 77#

Masaki: ... Ryune: Ah, Masaki. You also going to eat from now?

Masaki: ...

Ryune: Eh? What's wrong?

Masaki: …

Ryune: Masaki! MASAKI!

Masaki: Uh oh? W, what? Oh it's you Ryune. Don't surprise me.

Ryune: What are you saying. You keep on dreaming right? You don't reply no matter how much I call you.

Masaki: Ah... Is that so?

Ryune: You're thinking?

Masaki: Well, somewhat. Because there are lots of thing…

Ryune: Hmph… If you feel sad I can give you some advices?

Masaki: No, now I'm fine. Other than that let's eat?

Ryune: Oh? It's fine but… Ah, right. Elsine's speech shall begin soon.

Masaki: What, it is time already?

Ryune: They live-broadcast it. Let's turn on the holotv.

Masaki: Yeah, let's do it.

Elsine: ...I also know well such historical background. But, please think again. The opponent that surrender by power, do they really surrender by the heart? That is no more than spreading the bitterness, bring new hatred and antipathy. If you have hatred, the same hatred will come back towards you. The one can only break off this endless chain is now us.

Ryune: ...It is not that I can't understand what she is saying but I think those are a bit too idealism.

Masaki: Really? It is not reasonable?

Ryune: But, hatred be borned not limited to war. If you lose that, I wonder if you aren't human anymore?

Masaki: No, that's why it is an ideal story. Ideal is necessary right?

Ryune: I understand that. But what do ya think will come if you aim for that? Because of that my father...

#Scene 78#

Masaki: Eh? What is that? A quick announcement appears?

Ryune: Er… Eh!? The south performed a surprise attack!? That means... the war has begun!?

Masaki: Shit! Organize a meeting at the briefing rom!

Xenia: So everyone knew the attack of the south?

Becky: Yeah, it was on the monitor. Good grief, it was right in the middle of Elsine's speech…

Masaki: They can't stay calm.

Tyutti: Yeah. That attack violates the Federation treaty.

Masaki: Then it is our turn.

Wagener: Right.

Xenia: Ah, before that time... The truth is one big problem occured.

Mio: Eh? I also have a hunch something similar happened also some time ago.

Xenia: The situation is serious than the previous. Rodney and Eris was charged with treason by the intelligence division of the north army for spying.

Mio: The old man!?

Masaki: Treason for spying? You don't mean, we're the one behind that?

Xenia: I heard such secret information existed.

Ahmed: Without any evidence, being arrested only by secret information is unreasonable.

Xenia: Yeah, of course custody is another matter. Something like public business performance disturbance is such a matter of minor offense. Legally speaking, they supposed to be released since there are no perfect evidence but, since the south attack this time, the martial law overtaked.Under martial law, the treason for spying is heavily investigated so even bail is hard.

Ahmed: If that is the case, two nationalities Antilles Corp and Shutedonias is the key.

Xenia: Of course. That's why… Eh? Ah, wait. There are information from the north army. Wagener: Is it related to the story now?

Xenia: Probably... Shall I connect to main?

Wagener: Yes. Masaki, you appear.

Masaki: What? Why are you waving at me?

Wagener: I afraid this information needs quick decision. Because I'm a representative, I can't do prompt judgement. Because of that, Masaki, you replace me as a representative here.

Masaki: ...That is somewhat running away…

Alright. Then show me the main.

Akraid: Ah~, nice to meet you. I'm first lieutenant Akraid Barom of the north army general staff HQ.

Masaki: Ah, yeah, I'm…

Akraid: I know you. You are the well-known Masaki Andou.

Masaki: ...Really? Then tell me your business.

Akraid: I'll make it short. It is about the citizen Rodney Gesha.

Masaki: As I thought… I'll tell you beforehand, he isn't a spy.

Akraid: Well, I thought so too.

Masaki: That's why I say you're wrong… Eh? What?

Akraid: Well, that's why I said that citizen Gesha isn't a spy right?

Masaki: Y, yeah, right but… No, wait! If you know that he isn't a spy, release him now!

Akraid: Ah, well, that is just my personal opinion, not the general will of the whole army. I'm sorry.

Masaki: You... know Rodney?

Akraid: We weren't at the same army but we have talked to each other alot.

Masaki: Then, you should understand. It is impossible for that old man to do handy trick like spying.

Akraid: I can't wholly agree with you but, generally speaking I thought so too. But that is just invidualism.

Masaki: ...You, want to say something?

Akraid: I want you to proof his innocence.

Xenia: You push us a very difficult problem. Because generally it is presumption of innocence, proving guilty is the work of your side, right?

Akraid: But, it needs time right?

Xenia: Uh... I understand that but…

Ahmed: You want us to do something for you?

Akraid: That's very perceptive of you. Now, you know that the one being attacked is us right?

Masaki: Yeah. Don't tell me you want us to attack the south?

Akraid: Your understanding saves me a lot of time. That's correct.

Masaki: No no no. That's your business.

Akraid: Well, I don't reglect that but, even that is also your work.

Tyutti: ...That is thoughtful. You plan to use the treaty of the Federation?

Akraid: Right. The attack to the south this time, is the broad interpretation of the right of belligerency that was decided by the treaty of the Federation.

Tyutti: Strictly speaking it is so but that is the problem that should be solved by the countries involved.

Akraid: But, currently, since Antilles Corp is established as a organization to deal with that, I'm sure you can do a forcible execution.

Tyutti: Talking about business, have to use that is difficult to accept. That is clearly an intervention to us.

Akraid: Well, that is that. Mutual benefit is good, I think.

Tyutti: Very irresponsible... Er no, it is rather a flexible thinking.

Akraid: To be frank, for me, there are times when I expect lots of thing from Mr. Gesha. Also the story this time is not a request from the army, but an idle talk of myself.

Masaki: You use the line of the army openly and chat with us?

Akraid: There is no need to worry of record or wiretapping. I can guarantee that.

Tyutti: Certainly we also plan to take some sort of measure against the south.

Akraid: Oh, I see.

Tyutti: But, if you use that as a business, we can't act.

Akraid: That's why, you know. Keep that private…

Tyutti: This is unnecessary wicked. I understand secret discussion is needed but, this is like backroom deal. Generally, if this discussion doesn't appear in public, Rodney's innocence can't be proven?

Akraid: Yeah, don't worry about that. The truth that you took measure against the attack of the south is enough. If you do so, the Antilles Corp will become the evidence of not accommodate the south.

Xenia: ...If that is so, why you came to contact us? Even if you leave us alone we will take proper measure against the south. That scene is in your prediction? Despite this, you're taking trouble create a discord and negotiate us. You must have an ulterior motive?

Akraid: Oh, you are great Xenia-sama. Wonderful discernment.

Xenia: I wasn't worked at the intelligence division just for fun.

Akraid: The truth is, I've a favor for you refers to Mr.Gesha.

Xenia: Is that the main subject?

Akraid: Yeah, but regard this, I still have to confirm the will of the real person so, I can't speak it to you officially.

Xenia: ...I don't know what is the favor but the arrangement seems very well.

Akraid: I'm a worrywart by nature. Carelessly think about the future is my character.

Xenia: You are a very good strategist.

Akraid: No, you're overestimate me. Anyway it is up to you to take this favour into account or not. As for me, fill the gasp with you guys is my primary purpose. I began to understand that point. Because I could grasp your thinking and personality.

Xenia: ...So the business ends here? I'll cut off the connection.

Akraid: Ah, yes. Sorry for a long conversation. Goodbye.

Masaki: What's that guy... He can read the bottom of bottom.

Xenia: Yeah, he might look like a fool but it turned out unexpected. I don't want him to turn into our enemy at all. That's why just now, I quickly turned off the communication since I don't want to give more information to that guy. Uncle didn't appear at the transmission also because of that?

Wagener: Yeah, there are more or less but, if I talk with him I have a hunch I'll bend into sidetrack many times.

Mio: Ah, certainly.

Tyutti: I understood it is not a backroom deal but, I have a feeling I'm obedience in his hand somewhere…

Masaki: Good anyway. If we know he uses us, we'll turn on him at that time.

Ryune: Then, we'll give an propose of ceasefire to the attacking force of the south?

Masaki: Yeah, I plan that from the start. Is that Ok, Representative?

Wagener: If there are no comment from the other Masoukishin pilots, I could only approve it. Tyutti, Mio, do you object it?

Tyutti: I don't.

Mio: Me too.

Wagener: Then, let's head for that advice.

--------------------------
Stage 14: Rodney in chains
--------------------------

#Scene 79#

Zamboss: General Dastrasch! It's Antilles Corp!

Leffen: Yeah, I know. So they came…

Masaki: Stop here! Your action clearly violate the treaty! Quietly dismiss your force!

Leffen: This is general Leffen Dastrasch, the leader of the army here. I'm sure there are room to discuss treaty violation. Eventually I want to have a meeting and discuss in details. Command me to dismiss my force mean you reject the discussion. If you insist, I will decide to declare war.

Wagener: Um, great refutation. If you claim majestically, we can only chose a forcible execution.

Masaki: It can't be helped. If that is their reaction we can only fight!

Zamboss: Hmm! Don't be cocky! We have lieutenant Rico Sandriv on our side.

Xenia: Eh? The lord of shooting twins?

Zamboss: Moreover, I've improved from before! Don't compare me to the one at the time of Shunjuu War!

Leffen: Send notice to all machines: don't overdo. If you realize the disadvantage, immediately retreat.

[Masaki vs Rico]

Masaki: !? A girl!?

Rico: My name is Rico Sandriv! Now, fight me!

Masaki: You are... the shooting queen!? No, you show no gasp... A strong opponent I guess.

[Masaki vs Zamboss]

Zamboss: It's been a long time, youngster!

Masaki: I remember you! You are the one who took Xenia hostage!?

Zamboss: Just so you know, that is an emergency method. I don't like to do it.

[Masaki vs Leffen]

Masaki: Why you keep raising war!?

Leffen: Now if we don't act, the south must depend on the north. Thus, we can only stand up.

Masaki: Discuss before that!

Leffen: Save that line for the north. The one pushed all the causes to Zoleuschard and provoked unreasonable demand is the north.

Masaki: You need ways beside using force right!

Leffen: You who try to surpress us with power have no right to say that.

Masaki: !?

[Xenia vs Zamboss]

Xenia: Thank you for the kindness you showed me sometime back, Commander Nasel!

Zamboss: Yeah, I somewhat made light of you, Xenia-sama.

*Zamboss defeated*

Zamboss: Shit... I'm done again! I'll pay back the other time!

*Rico defeated*

Rico: I'm done... I'll retreat for instant!

*Leffen defeated*

Leffen: I see... This is the power of Antilles Corp... It is more than I thought. I must revise the strategy.

South Soldier: Shit... This is the limit! Retreat like General said!

*3 enemies left*

Leffen: The war potential falls too much. We can't maintain the frontline. All machines, retreat.

#Scene 80#

Xenia: At this point the south army can't make any invasion anymore.

Masaki: You mean this is a temporary lull?

Wagener: Yeah, isn't it obvious?

Mio: I wonder if old man Rodney was released?

Tyutti: He probably unhurt…

Mefil: Ah, wait a minute~. A new report just appeared.

Xenia: Eh? What is this? Since when…

Masaki: What's wrong? Something happened?

Xenia: The north army captured the important base of the south. Even 2 of them.

Mefil: The information of the action of the north army didn't appear.

Xenia: ...We're deceived. It seems they caused us to attack the south, and they use that chance to let out a counterattack.

Ahmed: ...It is probably Akraid's plan.

Xenia: But, even a lieutenant of the General Staff HQ, he is just an underling … Ah, no, I'm wrong. It is probably opposite. Even if he is a first lieutenant, if we assume he was selected by the General Staff HQ…

Ahmed: Even it is only a conversation a while ago, we caught a glimpse the bottomless of that guy. We can not be too careful.

Xenia: Right…

Mefil: Ah, a report! From Rodney-san~.

Mio: The old man was released!

Masaki: Rotate the main please.

Mefil: Yes~.

Rodney: Yo, sorry for making you worry.

Masaki: You already released?

Rodney: Well, temporarily. Because they understand that you are not on one side with the south.

Masaki: We understand that from the very first place. Btw, when will you return?

Rodney: ...I'm not sure. We need discussion.

Masaki: Eh? What is that serious face? Does something happen?

Rodney: Yeah, I'm very sorry but, I and Eris want to withdraw from Antilles Corp.

Masaki: !? Wait! What do you mean by that!?

Rodney: Sorry, please!

Tyutti: Does something happen while you guys are captive?

Rodney: The truth is... I discovered Eris is pregnant.

Tyutti: Pregnant...?

Eh? Pregnant!?

Rodney: No, it is not that surprised but... we are just married, you know.

Tyutti: Ah... I understand. Yeah, congrats.

Mio: Wow!

Rodney: Thank you.

Masaki: Could it be... that's the reason?

Mio: Ah, I see. Since Eris-san is pregnant, she can't pilot right?

Rodney: That is just one of the excuses. What bother us the most was the spy commotion this time. Since the country was divided, we'll be suspicious among everyone's eyes. Even the whole country is burning, we can't do anything. More or less, it is my homeland. We can't overlook things turn this way.

Masaki: That's why, why won't you be together with us?

Rodney: It can't be changed from the outside. We must change it from the inside.

Masaki: You say from the inside... What are you planning to do?

Rodney: Recently there is a special election for the Upper House. I'm thinking of becoming a candidate of that.

Mio: A candidate? Old man, don't tell me you plan to become a politician!?

Rodney: Right. Because I have a few connections, even if I say so myself, I'm popular. I think I'll probably be selected.

Masaki: You have to achieve it, even if you abandon the duty of a Masouki pilot?

Rodney: Yeah, for me at least.

Ahmed: You have to prepare for one warning. If you become one member of the congress, there are possibilies you have to deal with agressive opinion against the Antilles Corp. Are you ready for that?

Rodney: Well, I plan to spend my effort for that not to happen but... when it comes to the benefit of the country, I've to be prepared.

Ahmed: I see. Good then.

Masaki: Not good! We're not fighting for one country, but the whole La Gias kingdom!

Rodney: That is the matter that Antilles Corp alone can't do right?

Masaki: Uh.. N, no…

Rodney: I don't think you have to be particularly offensive. The patriotic feeling, family love... If you sum all of those, you got a thoughtful result. The matter of Eris is so, the matter of the war this time is so. Those are my best thoughts for all of Lagias… Those are my thoughtful result. Luckily, in the jail I've more than enough time to think.

Wagener: Hmm, you seem very determined.

Rodney: Yeah, I already decided.

Mio: I've nothing to say if the old man is determined.

Masaki: …

Ryune: Masaki, you are against?

Masaki: ...Even if I resist, his will won't change. I gave up.

Rodney: ...Sorry.

Xenia: Just tell me one thing. Is your thought related to Akraid?

Rodney: Eh? Lieutenant Barom? It seems Lieutenant want to make me return back to the army.

Xenia: I see. It is not his suggestion. Fine then.

Rodney: Ah, which reminds me lieutenant Barom entrusted me a message. Did you guys know that?

Xenia: Rather than know, just a little.

Rodney: According to his word, he had to change the plan but the result seems fine. But I don't know what is that thing.

Xenia: ...Don't tell me, this is also among his plan?

Rodney: ? What?

Xenia: Ah, no, don't worry. It is nothing.

Wagener: So, the Masoukishin pilots, do you have any objection on the quitting of the two persons?

Tyutti: It can't be helped... Let it be.

Mio: It is sad, but it can't be helped.

Masaki: ...I have no objection.

Wagener: Then, I'll officially erase the name of Rodney and Eris from the Antilles Corp.

Rodney: ...I'm sorry.

Wagener: Let us do the procedure of formal retirement for you.

Rodney: Yeah, I rely on you. Well then, I'll contact you if we have good news.

Mio: Ok, I wish for your happiness.

Tyutti: Do your best.

Masaki: ...Don't do stupid thing.

Rodney: You too. Then, goodbye.

Masaki: Xenia, what is the meaning of Akraid's such and such words?

Xenia: It seems Akraid want to make Rodney return to the army.

Masaki: You say make old man return to the army? That is the request he said from sometime ago.

Xenia: Because he have said he suggests us to confirm the real person's will. It seems he has predicted that Rodney will join the politic world, since his message was result alright.

Masaki: Does he collect anything from the old man's return to Shutedonias?

Xenia: Rodney must be important to them, since it isn't personal level, but the thought of all Shutedonias. Wasn't the real person said so? He said he is famous and has connections. Whether he is in the north or not, it is an important matter to politic and strategy.

Masaki: Is that so...?

Xenia: Well, it is painful that those two have left the Antilles Corp but, in exchange we can connect to Shutedonias right?

Ahmed: Yeah, that point is more or less becomes the advantage of our diplomacy.
