I found myself lying in an unfamiliar place. |
Unfamiliar buildings. Roads paved with unknown materials. Rubbish and debris lying on the ground, each one having an inexplicable shape -- Where the heck am I? |

"BIG BROTHEEER!" |
Dr. Gloria unexpectedly leapt on to me, while I was being perplexed. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Thank goodness...♪" |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Oh gosh, oh gosh! Don't want you to worry too much! Doctor thought big brother will get separated from me again-" |
Conductor |
Come to think of it, I was supposed to have been at the site of an 'experiment' with you, who had once again become a member of the SSS, until a few minutes ago. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"That's right! It's a ground-breaking, super-fun experiment that's turning the world on its head!" |
Conductor |
Sounds like a bad idea. What kind of experiments were we doing? |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"You don't remember? Did you hit your head, Big Brother? Or did you suffer from brain damage when you travelled through time and space...?" |
Conductor |
I mean. It was all treated as state top secret, and even I, the Conductor, was not given a detailed explanation. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Is that so? Well, considering current circumstances, and there's no point in keeping it a secret in the first place, I'll tell you." |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Doctor and my goons were researching the so-called Gates. A technology for instantaneous travel that can only be utilized by a select few, such as the executives of the Resistance." |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"The ability to travel from one point to another in an instant, without regard to distance. Should such technology be established, even trains will be obsolete vehicles." |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"That's what Doctor's looking for, because Miss Columbia has asked us to 'get rid of the SSS', etc." |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"And that's why we are studying Gate tech. By making the train an obsolete vehicle, we will render the SSS useless." |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"That's what we, Doctor and the Doggan Gang, who have appeared as your enemies, are up to now." |
Conductor |
Quite a bit of a lion's share, Doc. But I believe that if we have the same goals, we can cooperate and fight together. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Umyuh... Doctor has said some rather nasty things, but you don't seem to get angry or surprised at all - Big Brother." |
Just as Doctor pouted in disappointment, I sensed a surge of murderous intent, and quickly held her down on the ground, both of us rolling. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"UYAAAAH!" |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Wh-wh-What's with you all of a sudden? Di-Did you get angry after all, Big Brother? Or did I mention something naughty like Iron Injection again...!?" |
![Story Guy1.png](/images/3/32/Story_Guy1.png) Soldier-Looking Man A |
"●☆■×◎▲!" |
Immediately after rolling over while holding the blushing and screaming Doctor, military-like people armed with guns jumped out from beside the rubble. They uttered strange words out of their mouths and opened fire at us. |
![Story Guy3.png](/images/6/6c/Story_Guy3.png) Soldier-Looking Man B |
"●☆■×◎▲!?" |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Is this... Ancient Nishikese?" |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"No, could this be... Japanese, language?" |
Japanese? While I was utterly perplexed by this mysterious yet familiar name, Dr. Gloria took out some kind of machine from inside her white coat. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"TA-DAH~! Doctor's latest invention - Intimate Talk Pal!" |
As usual, it's an invention that's not very descriptive, or rather, I can't even tell what it would do just from the name alone. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Simply put, it's a translator! Stuff this in your ear and you should be able to understand any language!" |
Believing her words, I put on the 'Intimate Talk Pal' while taking cover from the shadows of the rubble. Instantly, I was able to understand the words spoken by the military-like people. |
![Story Guy1.png](/images/3/32/Story_Guy1.png) Soldier-Looking Man A |
"They've taken cover! Let's go around and take them out!" |
![Story Guy3.png](/images/6/6c/Story_Guy3.png) Soldier-Looking Man B |
"You sure? But they looked like humans...?" |
![Story Man1.png](/images/b/b9/Story_Man1.png) Soldier-Looking Man C |
"They've appeared from another world! They're invaders too - JYAKUS!" |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Jyaku...? That sounded like an untranslatable proper noun, what does it mean?" |
![Story Monster.png](/images/3/30/Story_Monster.png) Monster |
"JYAAKU JYAAKU JYAKU JYAKU!" |
While frantically listening to the enemy's words, a new trouble arose. Monster after monster emerged from the void and began to attack the military-like people. |
![Story Man1.png](/images/b/b9/Story_Man1.png) Soldier-Looking Man C |
"......! NEW JYAKUS HAVE APPEARED...!" |
![Story Guy1.png](/images/3/32/Story_Guy1.png) Soldier-Looking Man A |
"Fend them off! We have to hold out somehow until 'that girl' comes...!" |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"That girl...? What do they mean?" |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"I mean, what's the situation here? It seems like there's monsters fighting with some military-looking people." |
Conductor |
Regardless, let's evacuate to a safe place while we still can. We are non-combatants, we can easily lose our lives if we get caught up in a battle. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Yes, that's right. Ah, it would have been nice if we could have joined up with one of the other Train Knights." |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"No. If only Doctor could fight like everyone else in the SSS-" |
Monster |
"GJYAAAH!?" |
Right when Dr. Gloria blurted out, one of the monster that had attacked the soldiers was blown away spectacularly. A familiar-looking axe is embedded deeply into its huge body. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Eh!? Was that...?" |
![Story Kuala LumSS2.png](/images/3/37/Story_Kuala_LumSS2.png) Kuala Lum |
"Oh my my - an appalling situation, isn't it?" |
Soldier-Looking Man B |
"It's the magical girl...!" |
Soldier-Looking Man A |
"Ah, our saviour! magical girl Kuala Lum, has come to our rescue!" |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Wha, what's going on? What magical girl? I mean, that's Kuala Lum from the SSS, right?" |
Conductor |
Quiet, Doctor. There is an unspoken agreement that scenes featuring heroines of justice - magical girl, must not be interrupted by anyone. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"Eeeehh...? Wh-why is my Big Brother's face looking more serious than ever!?" |
![Story Kuala LumSS2.png](/images/3/37/Story_Kuala_LumSS2.png) Kuala Lum |
"Hmmm. That's the deal~ I'll give you my name first, okay~?" |
![Story Kuala LumSS2.png](/images/3/37/Story_Kuala_LumSS2.png) Kuala Lum |
"Hailing from Flamarine~ the Magical Big Sis of Love and Peace-" |
![Story Kuala LumSS2.png](/images/3/37/Story_Kuala_LumSS2.png) Kuala Lum |
"MIRACLE☆MAGICAL☆KUALA LUM! IS HERE!" |
Mouthing each word one by one as hard as she could, Kuala Lum struck an adorable pose. The soldiers shouted charmingly and cheered her on. |
![Story Dr. Gloria.png](/images/b/bf/Story_Dr._Gloria.png) Dr. Gloria |
"WHA-WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT? WHAT'S GOING ON? DOCTOR THOUGHT I'M A GENIUS, BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ANYMOREE~!" |
