To defend the eastern flank of Brocéliande, the SSS was engaged in defeating the Mist Monster away from the eastern defence line defended by the Verforet Gendarmerie. |
On the early morning of the second day, I was knocked awake by Vivienne and Putra, who were out on patrol. |
Vivienne |
"Conductor! We're in trouble!" |
Conductor |
The sun had only just come up, what on earth is going on? Don't tell me that the perimeter has been breached? |
Vivienne |
"No, the enemy numbers are still not that great. But it's Bourse... Bourse!" |
Putra |
"The rest of you too! Come on, wake up wake up!" |
Yakutsk |
"Mmh... Bourse what? I haven't slept that much since my last patrol round..." |
Yoshino |
"Fwha, Yakky-tan, tail. Let go of the tail for now." |
Yakutsk |
"S-sorry." |
Yakutsk |
"Anyway...? What happened?" |
Vivienne |
"I found this on the road to Val Sans Retour, Bourse left a message. It was clearly attached to a tree." |
Conductor |
Vivienne, it looks like you're holding a stationary with a pretty floral-print. It has many heart marks on it. Looks like a love letter... |
Vivienne |
"I wish it was a love letter..." |
Bourse |
"Chère petite Vivi. By the time petite Vivi is reading this letter, le Bourse will be a forest fairy." |
Bourse |
"Le Bourse is going to Val Sans Retour on behalf of petite Vivi. It's not a violation of orders. That's because le Bourse is still off working hours." |
Bourse |
"That's why, ma petite Vivi..." |
Bourse |
"Please come and pick me up when it's time to work, because le Bourse is an indoor person." |
Yakutsk |
"WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS!?" |
Vivienne |
"What am I going to do?! I can't believe that girl did this! I always thought Bourse was an indoor person. When I told her to play outside, she would build a huge dollhouse outside and go inside it..." |
Putra |
"Let's calm down, kay? You know? I don't think the main point is whether she's an indoor person or not right now." |
Yoshino |
"Isn't a giant dollhouse already a regular house?" |
Vivienne |
"But I'm sure Bourse has entered Val Sans Retour. She must have left this place yesterday and headed straight there." |
Putra |
"Wait. Isn't that really bad? Doesn't that mean that Bourse spent the night in Val Sans Retour?" |
Yoshino |
"Worried if something happened or not. Surely she's hungry and waiting for us." |
Conductor |
It can't be helped. Let's all go and pick up Bourse. But if we find Bourse in one piece, the first thing we do is give her a lecture. As I'm sure you all know, this is not the way to do it. Just because you're off duty doesn't mean you are allowed to do anything you like. |
Vivienne |
"Of course. I didn't want this kind of outcome either." |
Queensway |
"Everybody, I have seen signs of enemies on the way to Val Sans Retour. I don't see any source of Phantom Mist outbreak." |
Vivienne |
"They must have broken through the western defences, it is possible that Bourse is surrounded." |
Queensway |
"No sign of them coming towards us yet. They have remained stationary for a long time. Let's take the initiative here and get Miss Bourse as quickly as possible." |
Conductor |
Okay, let's head towards Val Sans Retour. We will prioritise the search for Bourse, while destroying any enemies we encounter. Vivienne, you're in charge of leading us the way. |
Vivienne |
"On it! I'll take the shortest route! Make sure everyone follows me properly!" |
