The Mist Train that departed from Verforet finally reached Eisengrad. That is to say-- |

"Did you have any information about Mr. Takahiro in Verforet...?" |
Conductor |
The Verforet Gendarmerie had no information on any unidentified people or clues to their whereabouts, only that the Joust Monsters were relatively more prevalent here than in other countries. |
Conductor |
That is concerning, but the search for Takahiro Mizuno takes priority. We leave the rest to the Gendarmerie and continue eastwards. |

"It's fine, Takahiro-kun is probably in Eisengrad. So let's go there and umm... pick him up just to make sure!" |
Conductor |
If he was stranded in severe snow there, then we're running on a clock. Let's get the train there as quickly as possible. |

"Hey, hey... speaking of which, is Takahiro a jousting contestant too?" |
![Story Mio Kisaki.png](/images/b/b2/Story_Mio_Kisaki.png) Mio |
"Oh... well, that's..." |
![Story Celia.png](/images/7/70/Story_Celia.png) Celia |
"Kisaki, it's not just your concern. Rather ours, if I may say so." |
![Story Akane Ryuuzouji.png](/images/2/2f/Story_Akane_Ryuuzouji.png) Akane |
"Mizuno is a student in the Begleiter Course, and he studies on contestant support roles." |
Akane looked over to Mio and Celia, who smiled back, presumably with their own personal stories and feelings about Takahiro Mizuno's background. |

"Is it the job of a begleiter to support contestants?" |
![Story Mio Kisaki.png](/images/b/b2/Story_Mio_Kisaki.png) Mio |
"That's right. Jousting matches are not something that the contestants do on their own." |
![Story Mio Kisaki.png](/images/b/b2/Story_Mio_Kisaki.png) Mio |
"The begleiter helps the riders and maintains the horses to be in good condition, and they also plans their rider's strategy during the games. He is a very reassuring presence." |
![Story Akane Ryuuzouji.png](/images/2/2f/Story_Akane_Ryuuzouji.png) Akane |
"It is no exaggeration to say that a begleiter decides the winners and the losers. That is why we have to be very careful in choosing partners for each other." |
![Story Celia.png](/images/7/70/Story_Celia.png) Celia |
"In this respect, Mizuno is a real expert. It is rare to find someone who takes the care of horses so seriously and with such love." |
![Story Mio Kisaki.png](/images/b/b2/Story_Mio_Kisaki.png) Mio |
"And he is kind and considerate... He even stayed with me when I had my first match." |
![Story Celia.png](/images/7/70/Story_Celia.png) Celia |
"Judging from the results of Kisaki's matches, I am sure that he will lead his partners to good results." |
Conductor |
Takahiro Mizuno seems to have everyone's trust as a begleiter. |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"He's like Sir Conductor to us of the SSS." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"That's true! We support everyone and trust each other..." |
![Story Celia.png](/images/7/70/Story_Celia.png) Celia |
"It's really reassuring to be able to work with Mizuno. I am no exception to that." |
![Story Mio Kisaki.png](/images/b/b2/Story_Mio_Kisaki.png) Mio |
"Ah, what did you mean by that!? It's not like a senior classman to be steal a march from somebody~!" |
![Story Akane Ryuuzouji.png](/images/2/2f/Story_Akane_Ryuuzouji.png) Akane |
"Th-that is right! No matter how much Celia-senpai wants to rise to a higher level, you cannot... just, monopolise Mizuno that way...!" |
![Story Mio Kisaki.png](/images/b/b2/Story_Mio_Kisaki.png) Mio |
"I'm the one who can respond to Takahiro-kun! We even won our first match together!" |
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the train became romantic. |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"That's how we all feel with Conductor in that way too. Wink wink~" |
I fidgeted uncomfortably, so I deliberately inspected the front of the train. |
Conductor |
--Here, we're almost at Eisengrad station. Let's get ready. |
![Story Mio Kisaki.png](/images/b/b2/Story_Mio_Kisaki.png) Mio |
"Woah... It's snowing like crazy...!" |
![Story Akane Ryuuzouji.png](/images/2/2f/Story_Akane_Ryuuzouji.png) Akane |
"It is a world of silver... Or would it be more correct to say that the world is covered in white?" |
![Story Celia.png](/images/7/70/Story_Celia.png) Celia |
"So this is what snow is. I thought it was just a symbol of a fantastic scene, but now it's gone this far, it's a menace." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Now then, our Eisengradian Army representative is..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Ah, that is!?" |
Yakutsk was standing right in front of Paddington's eyes. She had been dispatched to a different mission, but that mission must have been completed. |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Don't be so surprised when you see people's faces, bozhe." |
She addressed the three people in the back clearly, as if to indicate that she was not there by chance. |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"The group from, the Winford Academy? You were a little late." |
![Story Mio Kisaki.png](/images/b/b2/Story_Mio_Kisaki.png) Mio |
"And you are...? How did you know about us?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Warm welcome to Eisengrad... Surprise." |
