Yakutsk	"A blizzard's brewing. Looks like I won't be able to keep going..."
Bestyakh	"Keep moving! There's people who need our help! We must rescue our heroes!"
Yakutsk	"Is that... Bestyakh?"
Bestyakh	"Risk your lives for a 'meaningful battle'! The prestige of the Eisengrad Northern Army is at stake in this operation. Bestyakh Company will make sure that it succeeds!"
Yakutsk	"The atmosphere's different here. Are the Eisengradian troops on duty?"
Yakutsk	"You've only just returned to your original unit and you're already a company commander? I thought you're still a non-commissioned officer, Bestyakh."
Yakutsk	"But it looks like you're in the middle of some important mission. You said there's 'people who needed help', so I guess it's a rescue mission for people in distress. I'd like to help too, as an Eisengradian soldier."
Yakutsk	"Bestyakh."
Bestyakh	"Dearest sister..."
Bestyakh	'All troops! Salute to Captain Yakutsk!"
Yakutsk	"Not when there is an emergency. What are you doing here in the middle of a snowfield? Explain the situation."
Bestyakh	"A unit went missing while conducting field training on this snowfield. A large scale White Wind was observed in the area, so we dispatched immediately to rescue them."
Yakutsk	"A large scale White Wind!? Then abort the rescue mission. We're sending a large number of men to their deaths in the face of the White Wind!"
Yakutsk	"I don't think the modern Northern Army would come up with such a plan, let alone in the past... You cannot be serious, Bestyakh. Please tell me you did not carry out this rescue operation by your own initiative, did you?"
Bestyakh	"I only went on a reconnaissance mission with my own troops. As for any problems that may have arisen in doing so, that is left to the discretion of the commanding officer leading the squad."
Bestyakh	"Do you know the term 'improvisation and adaptability', sister?"
Yakutsk	"Yes, I know. But that's a term used when you have a good commander with good men who are capable of completing the mission."
Yakutsk	"I know you're good at what you do, I know you've worked hard and become strong,"
Yakutsk	"But your soldiers here are not exactly top-notch. To take on the White Wind, we need an elite force like the Spetsgruppa Alfa. You should be well aware of that, don't you?"
Bestyakh	"Yes, I do. All the soldiers here are aspiring to join the ranks of Spetsgruppa Alfa. They may be inexperienced, but they are ready to lay down their lives at any time."
Yakutsk	"Don't be stupid! When and where did Instructor Khabarovsk or Captain Volochayevka ever said 'prepare to lay down your lives'!? Are you going to let these young, greenhorn nuggets die like dogs!"
Bestyakh	"Instructor Khabarovsk and Captain Volochayevka are the best military sister soldiers Eisengrad has to offer. As identical twins, we too have aspired to be those two since we were children."
Yakutsk	"..."
Bestyakh	"Khabarovsk, the perfect superhuman, and Volochayevka, who cares for her subordinates. Which of those two do you think is the more talented, my dear sister?"
Bestyakh	"It cannot be argued that those two are the best military sisters in the Eisengrad. But who is more talented, the older sister or the younger sister?Have you ever thought about this before?"
Bestyakh	"If we consider just their achievements in the Northern Army. The older sister, Instructor Khabarovsk, is considered the better soldier. But there are those who hold the view that the younger sister, Captain Volochayevka, is superior in fights against monsters."
Yakutsk	"When it comes to combat skills, it's difficult to judge the superiority of the two, especially when their combat levels are out of this world. Unless they commit to a one-on-one death battle, we will never know."
Yakutsk	"But when it comes to the ability to command troops. I think Khabarovsk is better than her. Instructor Khabarovsk was looking for ways to fight efficiently and effectively in any situation, that's why she was able to accomplish many missions that were difficult to accomplish."
Bestyakh	"I knew it, you show favouritism towards older sisters."
Yakutsk	"That's not the case. I am not taking sides with either of the sisters. I'm just saying that in an objective point of view if I were to evaluate them as soldiers."
Yakutsk	"While we're at it, Bestyakh, this battle that you want to do, it's a reckless manoeuvre to anyone that knows about it."
Yakutsk	"Engaging the White Wind with a single company of foot soldiers? Not even a child playing soldier would dare utter that."
Yakutsk	"You said earlier that you were going to rescue a hero, correct? Who are you trying to save? How many lives are you trying to save, putting dozens of lives at risk in return?"
Bestyakh	"We are! Captain Volochayevka was assisting in the training of new recruits in the Northern Forest, and we are going to rescue her! She is the treasure of the Eisengrad North Army! We must not let her die!"
Yakutsk	"This is the... Northern Forest?"
Bestyakh	"We will now begin the search for Captain Volochayevka! Do not be cowed by the White Wind! Follow me!"
Yakutsk	"What is wrong with you..."
Yakutsk	"CAPTAIN VOLOCHAYEVKA IS ALREADY DEAD! She died to protect me! From the White Wind that broke out during training here in this North Forest!"
Yakutsk	"I did not tell Bestyakh about the details of that incident. I didn't want to Bestyakh to be hurt, I didn't want her... to be disappointed in me."
Yakutsk	"I wanted to confess to Bestyakh about this the first time I see her again, but I couldn't. If Bestyakh finds out, she might blame me. She might be disappointed in me. That's what I thought."
Yakutsk	"But this person standing in front of me, you're not Bestyakh. This forest is not the North Forest either."
Yakutsk	"Bestyakh has no authority of command. She is not so feeble that he cannot accept the death of Captain Volochayevka. She would not let valued comrades and subordinates accompany her on a reckless mission. If she had to do it, she would do it alone."
Yakutsk	"..."
Yakutsk	"Who are you? If you're a soldier, tell me your rank and your unit."
Bestyakh	"Bestyakh. Lieutenant of the Eisengrad Northern Army."
Yakutsk	"Lieutenant? You disappeared while you were still a junior officer, and you've promoted to a lieutenant already? That's a bit of a stretch, no?"
Yakutsk	"...Whatever."
Yakutsk	"Lieutenant Bestyakh. I order you to return to base. Return with your troops to the nearest garrison immediately."
Bestyakh	"And what if I say no?"
Yakutsk	"You have no authority to disobey. This is a Captain's order. You must obey."
Bestyakh	"...Sister, are you leaving Captain Volochayevka to die?"
Bestyakh	"This is terrible. You deprive me not only of my place, but also of my benefactor."
Yakutsk	"If you're going to roleplay Bestyakh, put on a better act. My real sister wouldn't say such stupid things on the battlefield."
Yakutsk	"Begone from this place now! You don't even know what 'a meaningful battle' or 'a worthy victory' is. You can't even follow your superiors' orders. You've smeared the name of the Eisengrad Army."
Samantha	"Like unyielding ice and steel, you combine calm thinking with strong will. You are welcomed into the station of Eternal Snow and Steel."
