Yoshino	"Ummm- Not there, Yakky-tan. That's my butt, not my tail."
Yoshino	"...Ooooh, oooooh. You're doing it on purpose."
???	"Yoshino-chan, Yoshino-chan."
Yoshino	"Sei sei sei. Please wait, Vivienne. Grabbing Yoshino there is pointless too. It's better to do that kind of thing to Shashou."
???	"Gee, Yoshino-chan, how long are you going to sleep talk?"
???	"Wake up. Hurry up, or your food will get cold."
Yoshino	"Ooooh, this smells so good. This is the smell of home-cooking from Nishiki..."
Nana	"Hmmhmm, good morning."
Yoshino	"...Oh?"
Yoshino	"......"
Yoshino	"Please give Yoshino some time to think. Just a few seconds."
Nana	"Eh? What's wrong?"
Yoshino	"......"
Yoshino	"...Think finished. It's okay now. Took a long time to understand the situation. Thank you very much for the warm meal."
Nana	"You're welcome. It's been a long time since you've been in Nishiki. I thought to make you plenty of home-cooked food in Nishiki."
Yoshino	"Yes, it's been a long time since Yoshino's been in Nishiki."
Yoshino	"It's also been a long time since Yoshino saw Nana's face."
Nana	"What are you talking about, Yoshino-chan? You just saw my face last night too."
Yoshino	"No, never saw you. The last time Yoshino saw Nana's face was in dreams. Sometimes dreams about Nana."
Nana	"I'm not talking about dreams, this is reality. Last night we talked under the futon together."
Yoshino	"No, you didn't. Yoshino and Nana didn't sleep together."
Yoshino	"Yoshino is at work with all the members of the SSS. Haven't been back to Nishiki for a while."
Nana	"Are you alright? What's wrong with Yoshino-chan today? You have been here for three days now."
Nana	"Yoshino-chan said father and mother might be coming back, so you said we should wait together. I thought you were going to introduce me to them as your friend."
Yoshino	"Yoshino's oka-san and otou-san are coming back?"
Nana	"Yes, they are. Thanks to you and your friends, the Mist has lifted and the people who have disappeared are coming home."
Yoshino	"Oooh, alright. If that's the case, Yoshino might be able to meet otou-san and oka-san--"
Yoshino	"...If only that were true."
Nana	"Don't worry. The cherry blossoms are blooming outside. I'm sure they are there waiting for Yoshino."
Yoshino	"......"
Yoshino	"That's not true, Nana."
Nana	"No? Did I say something wrong?"
Yoshino	"Otou-san and oka-san left Yoshino at the factory in the mountains. If they were to return, they would have come to the factory in the mountains."
Yoshino	"But the factory is gone. They were angry with us for making so many bad things, so they had to close it down. So, if Yoshino wants to wait for oka-san and otou-san to come back, will have wait for them at the big shidare-zakura in the village."
Yoshino	"That sakura tree is where Yoshino was forced to wake up..."
Nana	"You don't believe me, do you?"
Yoshino	"Yoshino believes in Nana."
Yoshino	"But Nana is no longer in this world. She is probably living happily with her mother and sister somewhere else. If this is where Nana is, she would not be alone."
Yoshino	"You are not Nana, are you? You have the same face as Nana, but you are not Nana. This inn is not a real inn either."
Nana	"You say that this world is a fake? My body, my voice, everything is fake?"
Yoshino	"Your body and voice are fake, but it's a bit different from real fakes. What Yoshino sees is just an illusion."
Yoshino	"Yoshino will now break this illusion. Watch carefully. If Yoshino claps with hands, the illusion will be broken."
Nana?	"You are an interesting person after all. You are even trying to cast further illusions on me."
Yoshino	"Oooh-- you knew. Yoshino was going to show you a nice view, but..."
Nana?	"Show me your power. Can you break my illusion and change this view?"
Nana?	"What is the landscape you wanted to show me?"
Yoshino	"Like this, for example."
Nana?	"Splendid sorcery. Beyond the realm of illusionism, it slightly alters the space I have created..."
Samantha	"You are loved by the Beast God of Nishiki. The only thing that keeps your hands clean when you touch the accursed steel machinery is that you are a superior sorceress."
Samantha	"A good sorcerer must be of pure and sturdy heart. That is the condition of one who is powerful enough to work miracles and move people's hearts."
Samantha	"You are welcomed into the station of Beast God and Sorcery."
Yoshino	"The words are too complicated, Yoshino doesn't really understand,"
Yoshino	"But thankfully that Samantha is not Nana. Nana wouldn't be able to accept this landscape that's avoided from showing, would she?"
Yoshino	"Don't worry. Yoshino is not lonely. Nana can talk together again in the dream world."
Yoshino	"Yoshino is very happy to hear Nana's voice, for the first time in a long time."
Yoshino	"Ooooh-?"
Yakutsk	"Yoshino!"
Queensway	"Thank goodness! Yoshino's back too!"
Yoshino	"Ooooh, all of you are here."
Yoshino	"'Yoshino's back too'... meaning everyone else come back from their stations, too?"
Queensway	"Yes. Vivienne and Yakutsk also returned at about the same time."
Vivienne	"We were worried because Yoshino was a little late. Yakutsk and I didn't stay there for too long, so we were really worried..."
Yoshino	"Well, this means Yoshino was in a lot of trouble."
Vivienne	"Trouble? Aren't they all just illusions?"
Yoshino	"A Yoshino who just woke up would've figured out it's all an illusion in three seconds."
Vivienne	"That's what I'd expect from Yoshino."
Yakutsk	"It kind of frustrates me, but, well, Yoshino is a sorceress after all."
Putra	"If you saw through the illusion so quickly, then why was it so hard?"
Vivienne	"Yeah. What kind of trial did you have to go through?"
Yoshino	"Ummm... it's very difficult to describe in a few words...'
Yoshino	"Had an intense sorcery battle with the Samantha."
Vivienne	"What!? A battle of sorcery? What do you mean!?
Yoshino	"As it says on the tin. Yoshino canceled Samantha's sorcery, and then used sorcery to make booms."
Putra	"Are you a superhuman..."
Yakutsk	"So? Of course you won, didn't you?"
Yoshino	"Probably. Because otherwise Yoshino wouldn't be here."
Mary	"Now we should be able to enter the Giant Tree. Once we pass through this gate, we will finally meet Ricardo."
Queensway	"Um, I haven't been through the trials like you girls..."
Mary	"There are four stations shown on the route map, and the number of trials Samantha mentioned is also four. In order to connect the railway lines in St. Iris, it could maybe mean people other than St. Iris are the keys to connecting the railways in St. Iris."
Queensway	"I hope that's what you mean..."
Mary	"..."
Mary	"Don't worry. You've been chosen by the Giant Tree. If the Giant Tree or Ricardo had refused you, they would have done so by now."
Queensway	"Mary..."
Mary	"Get it off your chest. You are here for a good reason. Just as it is no mere coincidence that you and I have met."
Queensway	"Yes, I do. I believe in myself. And also Sir Conductor and everyone of the SSS."
Queensway	"And of course, I believe you."
Paddington	"Hawawa... the time has finally come."
Paddington	"The Giant Tree of St. Iris. It's visible to the naked eye from the Sea of Fog, but nobody has ever been able to get close enough to it. "The St. Iris Giant Tree is visible to the naked eye from the Sea of Fog, but unapproachable. I never thought I'd see the day when I could enter such a place on a Mist Train..."
Paddington	"Conductor, I'm a bit scared."
Conductor	I think everyone here is. No one is not scared. Even Mary's expressions are completely different. The pressure of not being allowed to fail has amplified everyone's fears.
Conductor	The first Divine Child to reach the Giant Tree was my mother, Ricardo Trevithick. Even though it was not made public, it is a historic achievement. Perhaps there are other Divine Children besides Ricardo who have also reached the Giant Tree without being known to the public.
Conductor	However, as the very first Divine Child who has reached the Giant Tree on this Mist Train that she designed... That's you, Paddington.
Paddington	"Well, if you put it that way, Conductor was the first. I just followed behind Conductor..."
Conductor	Don't say that. There are so many scenarios that we wouldn't be able to break through without you, Paddington, there are also many people that you have helped too.
Conductor	You have contributed so much to the Special Steel Squad's cause as our second-in-command. I'd like to thank you again, Paddington Elrond. You are the Divine Child, the pride of St. Iris, and the first Divine Child to conquer the Steel Railway of the Giant Tree.
Paddington	"C-Conductor..."
Paddington	"Hawawa, no I can't accept this! That's the sort of thing you should say only after when you're alone with me in a world where everything is resolved and we're at peace, with a nice warm cup of tea, huddled together, talking about the future..."
Paddington	"Hawawa!? What kind of a lousy speech is this! I was just about to put up my courage and ask Conductor to give me an Iron Injection too..."
Paddington	"However! Today I am a very different Paddington! I will not be intimidated by whatever appears from the Giant Tree! I'm going to give whatever it is a good beating!"
Yoshino	"Ooooh- very tough Paddington."
Vivienne	"Alright then, I suppose we'll have to let her deal the first blow then."
Railway Seeker	"......"
Paddington	"HAWAAAAA--! I'm going to face thiiiiiis!?"
Paddington	"Mary, I'll entrust the honour to you!"
Mary	"Why is there a Railway Seeker here? There's no signs of Ricardo at all..."
Railway Seeker	"......"
Just when we've alighted the stations shown on the route map of the Giant Tree Railroad to the Giant Tree, we are they are confronted by an unexpectedly powerful enemy just before the Gate entrance.
Conductor	The Railway Seekers, who had tormented the SSS so many times before, stood in front of us...
