An emergency meeting--
Gathered hurriedly in a small conference room in the garrison were officers of the Order of St. Iris.
Story Mary.png
Mary
"You've got a very secluded room."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"We can't have other people hearing us. Especially not the nobles of St. Iris."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Aye. This is the sort of thing that would alert the Allied higher-ups and take notice. I couldn't believe my ears either."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"So the knight's sword that was seen did indeed had a blue rose design on it?"
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Yes. Information from the Out-Siders, no doubt."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"The Bluerose Sword - I believe only one person has ever been granted the honour to carry this sword in St Iris."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Former Knight Commander Bluerose...? Never thought I'd hear that name now."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"Mary, your previous Knight Commander, Bluerose is officially reported as PKIA, what do you think about this?"
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Whatever do you mean, Blackfriar?"
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"About her generation and her age? Senior?"
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Ah. Not many of your generation know much about her."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"Neither I nor Finchley were knighted in Bluerose's time. We only know of her presence through records and anecdotes."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"But you know a lot about her. She's a legendary knight, the youngest knight-errant ever to be appointed Knight Commander."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"..."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"I know more than that. Knight Commander Bluerose is a very special person to you. Apologies, but I had to do a little research into your past."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"It's fine. I know you looked into the official records, but most of what's in there is true."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"...That individual had always been free-spirited. It was quite common for her to wander off on her own to clear the Mist, and then return as usual."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"And the day she disappeared, was one of her usual antics just like that."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"So no one saw her die."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Yes. But after that, we didn't hear of any sightings in different parts of the country."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"And it was kind of expected that she were gone."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"Did you notice anything suspicious about her before she disappeared?"
Story Mary.png
Mary
"She left a will. She left a will appointing me as the next commander of the Order. She also politely left a formal letter of recommendation with it. It was as if she was leaving the Order to me."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"I suppose there's good reason to treat her as deceased."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Is it not possible that she really needed to leave the Order? Like you, Sir Mary?"
Conductor
Mary was active in the Resistance before she joined the Special Steel Squad. They were not an enemy organisation trying to destroy the SSS, but our objectives were not compatible with each other.
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Anyways, I am not sure."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"One thing I can tell you is that the Bluerose is no longer among us. That's a fact. Regardless of her safety."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"But as for the Bluerose Knight who was sighted, I don't think it was Bluerose."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"If she were alive and had disappeared of her own accord, I don't think she would be wandering around St. Iris now, and dressed in a way that we, the Knights, would be able to identify."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"That's what I meant."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"So you're saying that we should instead go for the train of thought that it's an illusion of the Bluerose Commander this time, manifested by the Phantom Mist to fool us."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"The location where the Out-Siders caught sight of the target is also a restricted area that has been abandoned due to large quantities of Phantom Mist. I have no doubt that it is an illusion, or an impersonator trying to imitate the legacy."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"But even if the Bluerose is a fake, we can't let our guard down. If we have to fight, a fight to the death is inevitable."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"That is why I have called you in, Mary. This case needs to be conducted in secret with a small number of skilled train knights."
Conductor
Bluerose was said to have been an immensely supportive Commander. But she was considered too impulsive, so she's not popular with most of the upper echelons.
Conductor
Hence if this information leaks out now, the Order of St. Iris could be thrown into chaos. Considering the impact on the Allied Forces, this should be handled privately.
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Very well. In that case, I would be the right person for the job."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"Then, Mary, if two teams are to take charge of the situation, please choose one more person to accompany you."
Conductor
Even with a small team, the Phantom Mist area to be searched is too large. Three of us can't even split up in pairs.
Conductor
And if we're going to go after the Bluerose, we need to team up with someone we can trust with our lives.
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"I'll work with Finchley."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"I have been working with her all the way from my Zeroth Generation days, through the Out-Siders and on to the SSS. In the Order of St. Iris, there is no one else I would trust my life to but Finchley."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Sir..."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"I only choose the right people. Finchley, you can trust me with your life, can't you?"
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Of course. I would trust Sir with my life anytime!"
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"Good. I'm counting on you, Finchley."
Story Blackfriar.png
Blackfriar
"Then Mary, please choose your most trusted companion."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"The one I trust the most, yes."
Mary crossed her arms and smiled. Apparently, she already knew who to ask from the start in her mind.
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Then of course I would choose--"
