"Hiiii~! Can I have everyone's attention for a moment? The tree is almost finished, but first let me introduce you to some of big sis's friends?" |
Freiburg dragged Rennes and Bourse, who were standing guard at the entrance to the forest, and asked them to stand in front of the nearly finished Christmas tree and introduce themselves. |
The Special Steel Squad is a beacon of hope for the people living in Iris Cloud. It is common for them to meet children at relief sites, and it is part of their job to handle these events well. |
However, some Train Knights are not good at this kind of work. The best examples of these are Rennes and Bourse standing over there. |

"Now, Frau Rennes and Frau Bourse. Please say something to the kids♪" |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Awaawwwawa... I, I never thought t-this would h-happen..." |
![Story Bourse.png](/images/9/93/Story_Bourse.png) Bourse |
"Don't blame Freiburg. She didn't mean any harm at all." |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"I k-know that. I k-know t-that, bu-but it's a bit m-much to ask for." |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"I-I'm not good at p-public ss-peaking, i-it's worse t-than d-dealing with a f-f-ferocious animal. G-Gulp, I-I have to chew on a galette to calm myself d-down~" |
![Story Bourse.png](/images/9/93/Story_Bourse.png) Bourse |
"You have a habit of chomping on your galette whenever you're nervous. You haven't changed at all since you were a kid." |
![Story Bourse.png](/images/9/93/Story_Bourse.png) Bourse |
"Well, le Bourse doesn't mind this. It is an important part of being a Train Knight to interact with civilians. It's an unavoidable part of being around petite Vivi." |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"T-then, Bourse you should go first. Please e-ease out the crowds with your speciality, your Bourse Théâtre." |
![Story Bourse.png](/images/9/93/Story_Bourse.png) Bourse |
"What are you talking about? The strongest ones should proceed first. The Forestiers of Brocéliande are heroes, aren't they? The children will be very happy." |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"T-that's not fair! It's true that if we had a f-fight, I would win, b-but mentally, Bourse is stronger than me no matter what I think..." |
![Story Freiburg.png](/images/8/8a/Story_Freiburg.png) Freiburg |
"Now now, Frau Rennes! Quickly, quickly♪ Everyone is itching to meet 'The Forestiers of Brocéliande'♪" |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Nu-Nguh! H-Hey, F-F-Freiburg! Don't p-push m-me! I'm n-nnot pp-pretending, okay? D-don't m-m-make me!" |
Boys |
"Wow! Wow!" |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"U-UGH, H-How are you? I'm Rennes..." |
Boys |
"Wow! Wow!" |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"B-B-Before I joined the SSS, I was a F-FForestier on the w-west side of B-Brocéliande..." |
Boys |
"Wow! Wow!" |
Boys |
"Wow! Forestiers are amazing!" |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Ugh, t-thank you very much..." |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Thank goodness... Bourse is right, we're quite popular." |
![Story Boy3.png](/images/e/ee/Story_Boy3.png) Boy |
"Brocéliande's Forestiers are super strong!" |
![Story Boy3.png](/images/e/ee/Story_Boy3.png) Boy |
"I know! Even a hundred of the Gendarmerie can't beat them!" |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Oh, T-that's a bit of a stretch. Is there a fairy tale about that?" |
![Story Boy3.png](/images/e/ee/Story_Boy3.png) Boy |
"Show us something cool, the Forestier of Brocéliande!" |
![Story Boy3.png](/images/e/ee/Story_Boy3.png) Boy |
"I bet the Mist Monsters are a piece of cake for you!" |
Boys |
"Wow! Wow!" |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"W-What should I do? I-I can't just swing my spear around here..." |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Conductor, what shall I do? S-Shall I try to climb a tree? Or shall we play hide-and-seek where I will never be found?" |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Mgh, mgggh~" |
Rennes was pondering how to respond to the children's request, when... |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"......ngh?" |
- Immediately, her expressions darkened. |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"......This is bad news." |
![Story Freiburg.png](/images/8/8a/Story_Freiburg.png) Freiburg |
"Frau Rennes? What's wrong?" |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Conductor, please cancel this party now and order Vivienne to evacuate the children." |
![Story Freiburg.png](/images/8/8a/Story_Freiburg.png) Freiburg |
"Eh...? " |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Enemies. There are signs of several monsters from deep in the forest. Perhaps the lookouts haven't noticed them yet." |
![Story Freiburg.png](/images/8/8a/Story_Freiburg.png) Freiburg |
"If the lookouts haven't noticed, doesn't that mean they are very far away, don't you think? Frau Rennes, you can actually detect the presence of monsters from this far away?" |
![Story Bourse.png](/images/9/93/Story_Bourse.png) Bourse |
"Rennes can. She hears the forest's whispers, smells the wind and doesn't miss the slightest change. That is the power of Brocéliande's Forestiers." |
![Story Freiburg.png](/images/8/8a/Story_Freiburg.png) Freiburg |
"Amazing... I have noticed nothing." |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Conductor, we're going to the forest. As well as destroying the enemy, we must find out what is going on in the forest." |
Conductor |
Rennes is right. It is also true that recently there have been reports of Mist Monster sightings around this village. Maybe there is something that the local gendarmerie overlooked. |
Boys |
"........." |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"It's okay. We'll take them down in no time - There are much scarier monsters to the west of Brocéliande. This is nothing compared to that." |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Have some galettes if you like. Pass them out to your friends. They are handmade by me." |
![Story Boy3.png](/images/e/ee/Story_Boy3.png) Boy |
"Wow! The Forestiers are amazing!" |
![Story Boy3.png](/images/e/ee/Story_Boy3.png) Boy |
"You can't lose! You'll never lose!" |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"Dohyuhyuh, I guess they really think I'm a hero. But I don't feel bad about it..." |
![Story Rennes.png](/images/d/d7/Story_Rennes.png) Rennes |
"So, as you might expect, let's begin our game of hide-and-seek." |
![Story Freiburg.png](/images/8/8a/Story_Freiburg.png) Freiburg |
"Wait! I'm coming too!" |
![Story Bourse.png](/images/9/93/Story_Bourse.png) Bourse |
"Bonne grace, which one of us is more mentally fortified, at all? If you can feel my presence from that far away, it means you're a reasonably strong opponent..." |
![Story Bourse.png](/images/9/93/Story_Bourse.png) Bourse |
"Rennes, you've changed aplenty, le Bourse can't lose too." |
