We've encountered mysterious individuals during a mission on the outskirts of Nishiki. It was thought that perhaps a Gate-like phenomenon had occurred and they had suddenly transferred here from another world. |
But first, we embarked on a search operation to find their companions as soon as possible... |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Conductor, would it be correct to say that we will continue our search?" |
Conductor |
Yes. We don't know what the situation is like and I think it's safer to try and meet up with them as soon as possible. |

"Apologies. Then again, three of the remaining four won't be intimidated by most enemies." |
![Story Yukie.png](/images/6/6a/Story_Yukie.png) Yukie |
"Yes. Aside for Yamato-san, they are all very skilled." |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"And they're all cute girls with my seal of approval! Of course, the two girls here, too." |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"Oh wow! Momo-chan the strongest Goddess of War though~?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Come to think of it, Momoyo and the rest of you were amazing too. Is that normal in your world?" |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"We are students who know each other inside Kawakami Academy, which is located in Kawakami City, where strong people gather. It's a special location even in our world." |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"There's always a lot of dueling going on." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Dueling!?" |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"When they throw their badges at each other, it's a sign that a duel is about to start. How it starts and what it is varies." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Hawawa... I don't think I'd last three days in that academy...!" |
Conductor |
Huh? But you said three of the four... So the last one is not from the Kawakami Academy? |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"No, they're all students of Kawakami Academy. However not all of them are suited for combat." |
![Story Yukie.png](/images/6/6a/Story_Yukie.png) Yukie |
"I think that Yamato-san is the type of person who is good at strategy." |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"Also, he has an unusually wide network of contacts." |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"Direct confrontation is not the only way to fight. You have to plan your strategy and make the most of your allies. That's Yamato's way of fighting." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"That sounds somewhat like Conductor." |
Conductor |
It's true that I can't fight Mist Monsters head-on either. It's my job to make sure that every Train Knight make use of their full abilities. |
Conductor |
But if that's the case, then this current situation is... |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"Yeah, he's a good at dodging, but it's far better to join up with them as soon as possible. Let's hurry ahead." |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"Oh, over there! There's a pile of rubble!" |
![Story Yukie.png](/images/6/6a/Story_Yukie.png) Yukie |
"Someone must be buried alive!?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Let's hurry up and dig them out!" |
Conductor |
I knew there was someone there. You're okay, stay with us! |
![Story Benkei.png](/images/3/37/Story_Benkei.png) Benkei |
"Hmm...? Ah, finally. Someone found me." |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"Benkei!? If you didn't come up by yourself... you were lazy, weren't you?" |
![Story Benkei.png](/images/3/37/Story_Benkei.png) Benkei |
"I thought that, if I simply stay here like this, someone would dig me out eventually." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"How passive can this person be...?" |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"Benkei-chan, you alone?" |
![Story Benkei.png](/images/3/37/Story_Benkei.png) Benkei |
"Hmm, I am, but..., huh, are you sure I'm not the only one who got separated?" |
![Story Yukie.png](/images/6/6a/Story_Yukie.png) Yukie |
"We haven't been able to meet up with Margit-san, Mogami-san and Yamato-san yet." |
![Story Benkei.png](/images/3/37/Story_Benkei.png) Benkei |
"I didn't realise that everyone was so split up... And I didn't even know Yamato was missing." |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"We're still searching hard, I'm glad we've found you, Benkei." |
![Story Benkei.png](/images/3/37/Story_Benkei.png) Benkei |
"I see... Come to think of it, my Lord wasn't there, was she?" |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"Yoshitsune? Yeah, she wasn't together with us." |
![Story Benkei.png](/images/3/37/Story_Benkei.png) Benkei |
"If my Lord had also come along with us, I would have been genuinely distressed..." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Lord?" |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"This Benkei here is a retainer of Yoshitsune Minamoto." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"She's a student, but also a retainer? Is she from a family of knights or something?" |
![Story Yukie.png](/images/6/6a/Story_Yukie.png) Yukie |
"Oh, no no, this is a special case. Yoshitsune-san and Benkei-san just have that kind of relationship with each other because they inherited their original relationship." |
![Story Benkei.png](/images/3/37/Story_Benkei.png) Benkei |
"There's this project called the 'Bushido Plan', which is about cloning famous warlords from the past, and our originals have a master-servant relationship with me and my Lord..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Clone......?" |
![Story Benkei.png](/images/3/37/Story_Benkei.png) Benkei |
"There is an overwhelming lack of Kawakami Water to explain this, a moment... Glug glug. Simply put, um, my ancestors were famous warlords." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"So you're saying that your ancestors have served for generations? I sort of get it. It might be like me and Victoria." |
Conductor |
Maybe that's the way we should understand this. I can certainly imagine what happens to Victoria when Paddington goes missing... |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"However... I'm sure we've searched the whole area around the first place we were at, and I can't believe we can't find Yamato either, let alone Margit and the others." |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"I don't think Yamato would be wandering around alone in a strange world for no reason." |
![Story Benkei.png](/images/3/37/Story_Benkei.png) Benkei |
"So meaning, that because he's not alone... he already took action with someone else?" |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"Yamato, you are a bad little brother, you don't run from your big sister. I understand your judgment that you won't die if you leave us alone, but I think it would be best if you joined with us all." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"If he decide to leave you all alone because you're strong, it means that... he had other important matters." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Alternatively, he didn't move by his own volition in the first place..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"In any case, the sun is setting. It's not safe to conduct searches at night." |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"Alright, I'll take care of the rest. I'll look for them." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Denied, it's not safe!" |
![Story Yukie.png](/images/6/6a/Story_Yukie.png) Yukie |
"Momo-senpai, this is a different world. We don't know what will happen if you do this. Shouldn't we listen to these people for once?" |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"Ugh... nail on the head." |
Conductor |
My apologies. This was an error in judgement on my part. I thought that if I had time to call for backup, I would have found them as soon as possible, but if this is how it turns out, I should have increased the number of people to search. |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"...No, Conductor. It's not your responsibility. You already did so much for us in the first place, who had no idea what we were getting into. Instead of blaming you, you're in a position for us to thank you." |
![Story Tsubame.png](/images/9/98/Story_Tsubame.png) Tsubame |
"Momo-chan, I know you're trying not to cause trouble for Conductor's group, but please refrain from acting alone! Right?" |
![Story Momoyo.png](/images/7/7c/Story_Momoyo.png) Momoyo |
"......Momo, understands!" |
