To put the situation in perspective, let's look back at how we got here. |
The following is a flashback. |

"-In short, I want to ask Conductor's team to escort us no." |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"Be it of escort, or trash sweeping, or wrestling- whatever it is, I just need you to get rid of the monsters that appear no." |
Just before we drifted into the strange other world - we were welcomed by the bureaucrat Acapulco at the Flamarine's legislative building, the Underwater Temple, and being briefed on our mission. |

"Right now, we're conducting some special experiments underneath this Underwater Temple, which often cause monsters to often appear no." |

"Oh my my~ that's terrible, isn't it~?" |
![Story Penang Hill.png](/images/e/ec/Story_Penang_Hill.png) Penang Hill |
"So, you're saying that monsters often appear, what?" |
![Story Penang Hill.png](/images/e/ec/Story_Penang_Hill.png) Penang Hill |
"What kind of dangerous experiments are you doing? I don't care what it is but it definitely, stinks." |
![Story Phnom Penh.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Phnom_Penh.png) Phnom Penh |
"Oh, big sis here has an idea? Summon a bunch of monsters and we get eaten to death together~ something like that?" |
![Story Phnom Penh.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Phnom_Penh.png) Phnom Penh |
"Hey, it would be wonderful if that were the case♪" |
![Story Penang Hill.png](/images/e/ec/Story_Penang_Hill.png) Penang Hill |
"I'm not sure I agree with that." |
![Story Kuala Lum.png](/images/c/c4/Story_Kuala_Lum.png) Kuala Lum |
"Hmmhmm, Phnom Penh, you always say things that people don't know how to respond~♪" |
![Story Penang Hill.png](/images/e/ec/Story_Penang_Hill.png) Penang Hill |
"Well, that's what's funny about Pooh after all." |
![Story Phnom Penh.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Phnom_Penh.png) Phnom Penh |
"Why there, that's a compliment☆ Does that mean you'll die with me?" |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"Sir Conductor... I thought I have asked you to bring me the right people for this mission." |
Acapulco shook her head disappointingly as she watched the three women making adulterous noises. She's always pouting, but today she looks grumpier than ever. |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"What? Are you trying to start an entire circus no?" |
Conductor |
I've got some very experienced and talented people here. |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"Mmmh~... Fine, all of them are veterans who joined before me. Are they all OK no? Can these people be trusted with?" |
Conductor |
You're a Flamarinian too, can't you trust and rely on your fellow countrymen? |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"I can't trust them precisely because they are also Flamarinian no... Our country is famous for uncontrollable eccentrics and freaks, led by, and my own dear sis included no." |
![Story Kuala Lum.png](/images/c/c4/Story_Kuala_Lum.png) Kuala Lum |
"Oh my my~? You don't seem to have any trust in us~ do you?" |
![Story Phnom Penh.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Phnom_Penh.png) Phnom Penh |
"Hey, it's strange, isn't it? I wonder why?" |
![Story Penang Hill.png](/images/e/ec/Story_Penang_Hill.png) Penang Hill |
"I think most of it is Pooh's fault... You're Acapulco, right? So sorry, I'm not used to talking to the big shots..." |
![Story Penang Hill.png](/images/e/ec/Story_Penang_Hill.png) Penang Hill |
"At the very least, we take our missions seriously. You're my client, you're a friend of Lil' Al, and I don't want to offend you." |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"How is Alexandra doing...?" |
![Story Penang Hill.png](/images/e/ec/Story_Penang_Hill.png) Penang Hill |
"She's fine she's fine, too fine in fact. She's always running around in short sleeves and short trousers, that kid." |
![Story Penang Hill.png](/images/e/ec/Story_Penang_Hill.png) Penang Hill |
"However. I know you're busy too, but if you can, give Lil' Al some more attention. She's a bit of a loner than you think." |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"Mmh... Yeah, I'll do it no. I want to play silly games and chat with her too no." |
Acapulco softened her attitude and smiled, perhaps thinking that she could trust Penang, with whom she had previously solved a mission in the desert together. |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"Plublupublub~♪ Well, it's okay no. Still within my expectations no. Worse comes to worst, my sister and I can still fight too, and with this many of us, we can manage no." |
![Story Phnom Penh.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Phnom_Penh.png) Phnom Penh |
"Really? So you're okay with a few less people?" |
![Story Kuala Lum.png](/images/c/c4/Story_Kuala_Lum.png) Kuala Lum |
"You should keep quiet for a minute, lil' Phnom Penh♪" |
![Story Penang Hill.png](/images/e/ec/Story_Penang_Hill.png) Penang Hill |
"Ahaha. This' gonna be troublesome, cuz we have to deal not only with monsters but also with Pooh♪" |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"Why did you choose such a dangerous person, Conductor...?" |
Conductor |
Phnom Penh seems to be trying seriously to do her best these days, and alongside Kuala Lum, who is touted as 'Flamarine's Peacemaker', I'd think we can manage. |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"'Flamarine's Peacemaker' uh... I feel like the biggest problem Flamarine has is that she's not the most powerful person in the country, which is my dear sister no." |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"That's fine no. I'll take you all to the site and I want you to come with me no. We're going to swim through water a few times, so one of you please carry Conductor, he's not a good swimmer no." |
![Story Phnom Penh.png](/images/6/6e/Story_Phnom_Penh.png) Phnom Penh |
"Yes, yes, sure thing♪ And big sister will gently carry everyone straight to the afterlife, okay?" |
![Story Acapulco.png](/images/3/38/Story_Acapulco.png) Acapulco |
"Are you sure she's okay no..?" |
Conductor |
I'm starting to feel a lot of danger ahead, but it's okay - things like this is business as usual for the SSS. |
