Fontaine dodged the attacks from the moving dance hall, and is now in the thick of the action. |

"As a forest ranger, I will protect the peace of the Forests of Verforet!!" |
-BOOM- |
Fontaine's strike successfully destroyed the pillars and stopped the dance hall from moving again. At the same time, the dance hall owner departed to the skies to the afterlife. |

"Aaaah~ I wanted to make money from cosplays~" |
![Story YakutskS2.png](/images/8/85/Story_YakutskS2.png) Yakutsk |
"What the heck are those last words now..." |
![Story FontaineS.png](/images/a/a7/Story_FontaineS.png) Fontaine |
"Okay, now we're back in the real world. And the voice coming from the trees isn't that guy's either." |
![Story QueenswayS2.png](/images/d/d8/Story_QueenswayS2.png) Queensway |
"Thank goodness... Now there's no more damage to the city." |
![Story YoshinoS2.png](/images/3/31/Story_YoshinoS2.png) Yoshino |
"The dance hall is now just a stage and tables." |
![Story YakutskS2.png](/images/8/85/Story_YakutskS2.png) Yakutsk |
"We're better off without all this. Woi, Paddington, get up. It's all over." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Bhwawawa, gudh mornin'. Oh, what happened to the tent?" |
![Story YakutskS2.png](/images/8/85/Story_YakutskS2.png) Yakutsk |
"We figured out everything." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"We figured out everything? What do you mean...? AH, WE'VE RUN OUT OF FOOD!!" |
![Story YakutskS2.png](/images/8/85/Story_YakutskS2.png) Yakutsk |
"It's amazing that you have no idea what you've been through so far, you..." |
![Story QueenswayS2.png](/images/d/d8/Story_QueenswayS2.png) Queensway |
"Hmm, she must be that good to serve in the SSS." |
![Story YoshinoS2.png](/images/3/31/Story_YoshinoS2.png) Yoshino |
"Jya, all that's left to do is to celebrate." |
Conductor |
Celebration? Was it someone's birthday? |
![Story YoshinoS2.png](/images/3/31/Story_YoshinoS2.png) Yoshino |
"It's nothing, Shashou. Don't worry about it." |
Conductor |
I don't understand, but I can't ask any more when you say so. Huh, I heard footsteps of someone approaching us from far away. |
![Story VivienneS2.png](/images/8/88/Story_VivienneS2.png) Vivienne |
"Ah, there you are." |
![Story PutraS2.png](/images/0/04/Story_PutraS2.png) Putra |
"Wooooooi, everyoneeee!" |
![Story YakutskS2.png](/images/8/85/Story_YakutskS2.png) Yakutsk |
"What's up, you two? Did you maybe come to help us or something?" |
![Story VivienneS2.png](/images/8/88/Story_VivienneS2.png) Vivienne |
"To help? Are you girls in some kind of trouble?" |
![Story PutraS2.png](/images/0/04/Story_PutraS2.png) Putra |
"We were just looking for you because it's almost dinner time and we wanted to eat with you that's all?" |
![Story VivienneS2.png](/images/8/88/Story_VivienneS2.png) Vivienne |
"Look at all the treats being served all over town, we got so much just walking around." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"So many treats! It's amazing, what a lovely town!" |
![Story PutraS2.png](/images/0/04/Story_PutraS2.png) Putra |
"Oh, there's a table in the right place. Let's have dinner here." |
![Story VivienneS2.png](/images/8/88/Story_VivienneS2.png) Vivienne |
"Right, we don't want to bring all these food back, so let's all eat here." |
At the suggestion of Putra and Vivienne, it was hastily decided to have dinner at the former site of the dance hall. |
Hurriedly, everyone cleaned up the surrounding area, and then we hung lamps on the surrounding trees - and an impromptu dinner table was completed. |
![Story YoshinoS2.png](/images/3/31/Story_YoshinoS2.png) Yoshino |
"Oh right, Putra, Vivienne. Give me your ear for a minute." |
![Story VivienneS2.png](/images/8/88/Story_VivienneS2.png) Vivienne |
"What's that, that's lovely♪ Count me in-" |
![Story PutraS2.png](/images/0/04/Story_PutraS2.png) Putra |
"Yeah, yeah, that's a nice idea. We've just got a stage, that's good!" |
![Story YoshinoS2.png](/images/3/31/Story_YoshinoS2.png) Yoshino |
"Ah, it looks like Fontaine and Queensway are back, too." |
![Story QueenswayS2.png](/images/d/d8/Story_QueenswayS2.png) Queensway |
"Thank you for finding the whereabouts of the flowers so quickly in the dark like this, Miss Fontaine." |
![Story FontaineS.png](/images/a/a7/Story_FontaineS.png) Fontaine |
"Duh, I'm a forest ranger. Even if I am not in Brocéliande, I know how to walk in the forest. It's not a big deal." |
![Story FontaineS.png](/images/a/a7/Story_FontaineS.png) Fontaine |
"Well, I've made the bouquet and I'll leave the rest to Queensway and you all. I rather prefer to follow up offstage." |
![Story QueenswayS2.png](/images/d/d8/Story_QueenswayS2.png) Queensway |
"Understood. Then I'll do my best, and you can watch from there, Miss Fontaine." |
![Story FontaineS.png](/images/a/a7/Story_FontaineS.png) Fontaine |
"Yeah." |
As I was wondering what they were talking about, Yoshino forcibly pulled me onto the stage. |
Facing the five people lined up in front of me - Queensway, Yoshino, Yakutsk, Vivienne and Putra. What is going on...? |
![Story YoshinoS2.png](/images/3/31/Story_YoshinoS2.png) Yoshino |
"Shashou, thank you for always working so hard for Yoshino and the others." |
![Story YakutskS2.png](/images/8/85/Story_YakutskS2.png) Yakutsk |
"You, you always work behind the scenes, don't you? S-So I think you deserve a little bit of the spotlight too." |
![Story PutraS2.png](/images/0/04/Story_PutraS2.png) Putra |
"And thus, Yakky is deeply grateful. Of course, that means me too! I'm very grateful!" |
![Story VivienneS2.png](/images/8/88/Story_VivienneS2.png) Vivienne |
"So, apart from tomorrow's ceremony, we thought we'd hold our own ceremony to thank you too, Conductor♪ Now then, to you Queensway~" |
![Story QueenswayS2.png](/images/d/d8/Story_QueenswayS2.png) Queensway |
"Sir Conductor, once again, thank you so much for always working for us. We will continue to do our best to clear the Mist, so please guide us." |
Saying this, Queensway held out a bouquet of flowers to us. I see, you all were working for this. |
Conductor |
Thank you, everyone. I know there are still some things I haven't done yet, but please continue to help me to see a world clear of the Mist. |
When I said a few words in return, everyone congratulated me once again with applause. |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Then let me congratulate you too!" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Heheh, I do my best at times like this. To which Conductor, I present you with a shower of light!" |
Paddington confidently set something up in the sky at the edge of the stage. |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Fill it full of tape! Oh, how did you make this thing fly? Hmmm... Whatever, I'm sure if I fill it up with lots of gunpowder, it'll be fine♪" |
![Story PutraS2.png](/images/0/04/Story_PutraS2.png) Putra |
"Uh, is that okay? You said something about 'lots of gunpowder'..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"It's done! Okay, everyone, let's gooooo-!" |
Paddington lit some kind of device and a silver tape shot up into the night sky. |
![Story QueenswayS2.png](/images/d/d8/Story_QueenswayS2.png) Queensway |
"I see, it's the silver tape from that time!" |
The lights illuminated and the silver tape shimmered and sparkled as it comes down to congratulate everyone, and then... |
Right in the next moment. |
![Story PutraS2.png](/images/0/04/Story_PutraS2.png) Putra |
"Wait!? The tape's on fire, THE TAPE'S ON FIRE!" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"HAWAWA! I think I used too much gunpowder!" |
Everyone rushed to retreat from the countless silver tapes that are falling as they burn. |
![Story YakutskS2.png](/images/8/85/Story_YakutskS2.png) Yakutsk |
"This isn't a shower of light, but a shower of burning flames!" |
![Story YoshinoS2.png](/images/3/31/Story_YoshinoS2.png) Yoshino |
"Are, That's not something you can fire with gunpowder." |
![Story PutraS2.png](/images/0/04/Story_PutraS2.png) Putra |
"TELL HER THAT FIRST!?" |
![Story VivienneS2.png](/images/8/88/Story_VivienneS2.png) Vivienne |
"What are you all doing? Bah." |
-SPLASH- |
Vivienne sighed and extinguished the fires with water magic. |
![Story YakutskS2.png](/images/8/85/Story_YakutskS2.png) Yakutsk |
"I knew this would happen..." |
![Story QueenswayS2.png](/images/d/d8/Story_QueenswayS2.png) Queensway |
"W-Well, there wasn't much damage, so I guess it's fine..." |
![Story PutraS2.png](/images/0/04/Story_PutraS2.png) Putra |
"Wow, amazing! The sky, everyone!" |
Everyone looked up at the sky upon Putra's words. After the black smoke cleared, countless shooting stars appeared in the clear night sky. |
![Story QueenswayS2.png](/images/d/d8/Story_QueenswayS2.png) Queensway |
"These are the ones we saw in the dance hall earlier...!" |
![Story YoshinoS2.png](/images/3/31/Story_YoshinoS2.png) Yoshino |
"Ooooh- a great number of shooting stars." |
![Story YakutskS2.png](/images/8/85/Story_YakutskS2.png) Yakutsk |
"I didn't think I'd ever be able to see them in real life..." |
It was like a shower of light. |
Conductor |
Paddington didn't summon this meteor shower, but considering that it appeared after her words, it somehow makes me think that she really was gifted with a shower of light. |
Conductor |
Well, let's just call it that this time. |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"From me too, thank you for everything, Sir Conductor!" |
Conductor |
Yeah, thanks to you too Paddington. Thanks to you too, and keep up the good work. |
I called out to Fontaine, who was downstage at the time. She was reserved at first, but eventually relented and came up. |
![Story FontaineS.png](/images/a/a7/Story_FontaineS.png) Fontaine |
"I said it was fine..." |
Conductor |
Thank you so much for today, Fontaine. I'm sure we wouldn't have escaped the dream world if it hadn't been for you, and I wouldn't have been greeted with this sight. |
![Story FontaineS.png](/images/a/a7/Story_FontaineS.png) Fontaine |
"It's nothing, as a forest ranger, I did what I had to do for the peace of the forest." |
![Story FontaineS.png](/images/a/a7/Story_FontaineS.png) Fontaine |
"But well, if you relied on me, I couldn't be happier. If you ever need any help or want to ask me for anything in the future, just let me know." |
Conductor |
"Things to ask for, huh? I'm feeling very happy right now, so I'd like to carry Fontaine on my shoulders, how about that? |
![Story FontaineS.png](/images/a/a7/Story_FontaineS.png) Fontaine |
"Well, that's... Conductor, stop, it's so embarrassing!" |
Conductor |
No, I won't stop. Because I want to celebrate with Fontaine. |
![Story FontaineS.png](/images/a/a7/Story_FontaineS.png) Fontaine |
"All right, all right, so put me down!" |
![Story YoshinoS2.png](/images/3/31/Story_YoshinoS2.png) Yoshino |
"Later on, Conductor and Fontaine will be given Flamarine uniforms. Two lady uniforms, of course." |
![Story YakutskS2.png](/images/8/85/Story_YakutskS2.png) Yakutsk |
"Woah, Fontaine would look absolutely adorable in it. Although I definitely don't want to see the other one." |
![Story QueenswayS2.png](/images/d/d8/Story_QueenswayS2.png) Queensway |
"I-I'll be sure to scrupulously look at it if Conductor wears it." |
Conductor |
Queensway, your words aren't comforting me here. |
![Story FontaineS.png](/images/a/a7/Story_FontaineS.png) Fontaine |
"Yoshino, can I look forward to that outfit?" |
![Story YoshinoS2.png](/images/3/31/Story_YoshinoS2.png) Yoshino |
"Of course, Fontaine. When we get back, Yoshino the seamstress will make it for you right away." |
The two looked at each other and laugh. Everyone started laughing as if caught by it, and this evening turned out to be a very enjoyable dinner time. |
