Islington |
"So? What's the point of being Youko's right-hand man? Now that Youko has been taken out by Canaria and the Resistance is out of men?" |
Alma |
"What are you talking about? There's no way Lady Youko would be defeated by some nobody like Canaria." |
Islington |
"...... Oho, this is not a good thing to hear eh?" |
Islington |
"Miyako darling, didn't Youko get trapped in a different realm or died in Nishiki?" |
Miyako |
"We don't know if she's alive or dead, but Yuuzen said there were no signs of her escaping from that realm." |
Vivienne |
"I wonder how she got out of that hellish place." |
Yakutsk |
"Like Canaria and Youko before them, the people from the otherworlds are very stubborn." |
Yoshino |
"Canaria survived being engulfed by the celestial sphere. In fact, she came back stronger." |
Islington |
"But maybe that's not the case this time. If she was powered up, she would have shown herself by now." |
Islington |
"...... That Youko bitch was secretly hiding and healing her wounds, wasn't she? I mean, she's still not at her best. That's why they sent someone like you." |
Islington |
"Hey Alma, where is Youko? Is she in the Steel Tree?" |
Alma |
"Who cares about that?" |
Islington |
"It doesn't matter? You've become our enemy then." |
Alma |
"I don't care about that either. It doesn't bother me that you think I'm an enemy of yours." |
Islington |
"That's good. I wish you were just stupid, but Miyako's reaction suggests that you are capable." |
Yoshino |
"If she's Youko's subordinate, she must know what we're capable of. And yet, the fact that she's so yoyuu without fear means there's a reason for it." |
Yoshino |
"As far as it goes, there are two reasons." |
Yoshino |
"One, this Alma person is stronger than Youko." |
Yoshino |
"Two, she wants to confirm something." |
Conductor |
ーーThe latter. |
Conductor |
Alma has been concerned about magic reactions for a while now. She seems to be particularly interested in this and Islington. Perhaps she is interested in a Divine Child's power. |
Conductor |
Alma, answer me. Why do you stay here to get in our way? |
Conductor |
The SSS is now fighting Mistism extremists. We're not dealing with Youko or Canaria. Of course, there's no reason for you to be our enemy. I don't want you to create that reason, if you can. |
Alma |
"Don't want you to create that reason, if you can..." |
Alma |
"What is that? Is that a threat? Are you threatening me with that vulnerable stance of yours?" |
Conductor |
This is not a threat. We are negotiating. So we are not going to launch an attack from our side. |
Conductor |
...... Also, what you're concerned about is our magic. We are not stupid enough to use our Divine Child's power if we know that's what you are after. |
Alma |
"Aah, I see. Then I should have assaulted from the start and force y'all to use your powers instead of talking to y'all!" |
Alma |
"That's so true. I can't tell how resistant y'all are to Poison if you're just standing still. It's best to force y'all to use your magic and see how y'all react." |
Islington |
"Woah, what's with this girl? She's super stupid." |
Vivienne |
"I can't speak for others either, but I'm not this stupid." |
Alma |
"You goons have such foul mouths. You've been calling me stupid and short for a while now." |
Putra |
"We didn't call you short, did we?" |
Vivienne |
"I didn't." |
Miyako |
"I didn't." |
Yakutsk |
"From the looks of your face, you don't even know why you were called an idiot." |
Alma |
"Ah, that definitely bothered me. Why is that?" |
Yoshino |
"Because Alma just told everyone the plan herself." |
Alma |
"Ah, I see what you mean." |
Alma |
"......" |
Alma |
"But it doesn't matter. You goons can't interfere with us anyway." |
Alma |
"Uhehehehe, we didn't need to talk from the beginning. I'm better suited to just brute force." |
Versailles |
"Please be careful. She's coming." |
Queensway |
"Her presence feels so different than before. This person... is very strong." |
Alma readied her weapon and took a combat stance. |
She releases a burst of magic that was not felt earlier. The Train Knights also sensed that magic and began to realise that she was a powerful enemy alongside Youko. |
Even though she is still at the age of a child, her stance is flawless. Do the warriors of the otherworld all possess high combat power like Youko and Canaria? |
Alma |
"The core of the Giant Tree consumes on bait. Who exactly is the good bait for the Giant Tree in this world?" |
Alma |
"The one that reacts strongly to Poison is the winner, according to Lady Youko, I believe..." |
Miyako |
"Defend! Please strengthen Conductor's protection!" |
Alma |
"It's no use protecting yourself. You goons can't even see my movements!" |
Versailles |
"She's gone!" |
Miyako |
"Her magic reaction hasn't disappeared. She's just moving at high speeds." |
Queensway |
"It's too fast for me to catch even by eye, no wonder Miss Versailles has trouble." |
Alma |
"UHEHEHEHE! YOU'RE MY FIRST SUBJECT FOR THE EXPERIMENT!" |
Paddington |
"!" |
Islington |
"PADDINGTON!" |
Islington |
"......" |
Paddington |
"BIG SIS!" |
In the darkness, Alma repeatedly moved at high speed to confuse our eyes, she targeted Paddington first, who was hiding in the rear. |
However, Islington, who was nearby, reacted faster than anyone else and risked herself to protect Paddington from Alma's attack. |
Alma |
"Wha wha? I didn't expect this. The Divine old hag that's good at magic noticed what I wanted." |
Islington |
"Too bad. Don't underestimate a Divine Child." |
Alma |
"I see... You must have been working that kind of magic or sorcery on your sister from the start. The Poison in this weapon reacted to the Divine Child's magic." |
Miyako |
"Poison...?" |
Miyako |
"The weapon uses Poison of the otherworlds?" |
Alma |
"Correct. It is a weapon made from the Poison you fear. There are good stones and good machines in this world that amplify it! Thanks to that, such an amazing weapon can be created♪" |
Yoshino |
"Nishiki's special ore and ancient mechanical parts..." |
Yoshino |
"Islington, suppress your magic now. If you don't, all your power will be sucked up by that weapon." |
Islington |
"I know what you mean. I've been trying to do it for a while now..." |
Islington |
"But it's not working..." |
Paddington |
"BIG SIS! HOLD ON!" |
Yakutsk |
"Her wound is not serious, but her symptoms are severe. She will lose consciousness if she continues like this." |
Miyako |
"The Poison Alma refers to is Phantom Mist that attracts otherworldly weapons and demons. If that power is being generated by the weapon, it's quite dangerous." |
Yoshino |
"Alma's weapon is sucking Islington's magic. And there's a very nasty Mist." |
Yoshino |
"It's small, but you can think of that weapon as the Poison of the Otherworlds itself." |
After slashing Islington, Alma's weapon activated a mysterious effect and sucked out Islington's magic. |
Although her wound is shallow, Islington seems to be in a lot of pain. |
The Poison of the otherworlds, and the special ores. The terrifying weapon, which combines ancient mechanical parts, continues to glow eerily in Alma's hand... |
