Victoria heard a mysterious voice in the dungeons. The person, who called herself "Anna", was a bandit who had broken into the castle to steal.
After being imprisoned, Anna took a liking to the daughter of the castle's owner and was hired as her daughter's maid of honour. However, she broke her ban and was sent back to prison.
Versailles	"So she asked for help from Miss Victoria."
Victoria	"Yes. But Anna was not trying to save herself. Everything she did was to save the life of her mistress -- the young lady of the castle."
Versailles	"......"
Yakutsk	"Hey, we shouldn't stay here for too long. We'll never know when this place will be filled with monsters. Let's get rid of the nasty things quickly, before we look for this Anna maid."
Victoria	"Anna went to the castle's other tower. Maybe she could go up to the rooftop to get to the room."
Conductor	I'd like you to wait a minute. I agree that we should proceed with the investigation, but let's all calm down a bit. Especially you, Victoria. You're sweating badly.
Victoria	"Me...?"
Versailles	"Yes, it's true. You're in terrible cold sweat. I still think the bleeding in your head is affecting you."
Victoria	"No, it can't be. Vivienne has treated my injuries and I feel fine. I feel no pain or fatigue."
Yoshino	"There may have been bad things in this dungeon. You should get some rest before you go."
Victoria	"I'm fine, really. There is no need to rest."
Yoshino	"Then Yoshino and Vivienne will check you. Invisible curses are really scary."
Victoria	"You are exaggerating. All I did was just speaking to Anna and opened the prison."
Vivienne	"That's enough. We are not exaggerating or anything."
Vivienne	"You exchanged words with an unknown person. You did as you were told and unlocked the prison. Immediately afterwards there was Phantom Mist."
Victoria	"......"
Vivienne	"We might have been caught in a trap. Yoshino is worried about that. I don't mean to assume that this Anna person is a monster, but you should heed the advice of your friends."
Vivienne	"I apologize. I didn't think it through."
Yoshino	"Yoshino isn't that good at words."
Victoria	"But I can hardly believe that Anna was trying to harm me."
Conductor	If Victoria says so, then it must be true. Victoria is the only one here who has heard Anna directly.
Vivienne	"Sir Conductor..."
Conductor	But it is too early to take Anna's word for everything. There is still too little information to determine what is right.
Conductor	It is fine to discuss. But I ask both Vivienne and Victoria to be a little more calm. I respect the opinion of all Train Knights. At least none of us are lying. Isn't that right?
Vivienne	"Oui, I agree. No one is lying."
Vivienne	"Je suis désolé, Victoria. I didn't mean to sound like I was blaming you. I was just worried about your body..."
Victoria	"I know. I was the one who was preoccupied with Anna. She reminds me too much of myself."
Paddington	"I can see that Victoria and Anna have become very close in the short time you've been together."
Paddington	"I'm sure Anna felt the same way about you too, Victoria. That's why she approached you first."
Victoria	"Lady Paddington..."
Conductor	I would like to confirm one thing about this Anna, the maid... Has anyone seen her in person?
Paddington & Victoria & Vivienne	"..."
Paddington	"None of us!"
Victoria	"By the time the lights came on, she was already gone."
Vivienne	"We didn't pass anyone either. We didn't feel any signs of people or footsteps."
Yoshino	"So this pattern is something that Yakky-tan is scared of."
Victoria	"But it is true that Anna was locked up in this prison. And what she said is probably also true..."
Victoria	"Anna said, 'My mistress is being hunted by demons'. For some reason Anna's mistress perhaps put a curse on this castle to make it rain."
Vivienne	"Even though she faints as soon as it rains?"
Queensway	"Resistance to the parents who separated them, perhaps?"
Vivienne	"Oh, I see. I hadn't thought of that. You're a great lady of a famous family after all."
Yoshino	"So there was a time when Queensway-kun was like that."
Victoria	"Please tell me one thing, Miss Yoshino. Is it impossible to lift a curse if something happens to the caster?"
Yoshino	"Not so many are like that, but those do exist. Curses that still linger after the caster dies are very difficult to break."
Yoshino	"Did Anna say anything about curses?"
Victoria	"She said 'That this country will sink if we don't rescue her before she is kidnapped by demons'."
Versailles	"This is a valley, yes. If the rain doesn't stop, this place will become a huge lake."
Putra	"That sounds really bad, it won't be long before this dungeon sinks to the bottom of the water, you know?"
Versailles	"What's wrong, Putra?"
Putra	"Because the water in the drains is rising at an alarming rate."
Vivienne	"-Oh gosh, it's already above the floor!"
One crisis after another. The drains around the dungeons have started to overflow. It seems that the heavy rain has finally started to flood the dungeons.
Putra	"The way the water level is rising is not normal. This is not just a rain."
Vivienne	"Then what's the cause?"
Putra	"I don't know, but we should get away from here. Look. Water is pouring in from all over the room."
Versailles	"Let's hurry up and get up there. If the lights go out again in this situation, we'll be in trouble."
🔔*RING RING RING*
Putra	"This sound is, no way...?'
Yoshino	"Yoshino has a feeling it's a child who only bothers us when we're busy."
Samantha	"The lights are on in this dark prison. Be careful not to get wet."
Yakutsk	"There you are, Samantha. I am so relieved to see you even in Iris Metro."
Versailles	"Samantha, the Ghosts of the Mist. I see they are also present in Iris Cloud."
Yakutsk	"Yes, some are useful, others kill people. There's not much good that comes out of meeting them. I hope that's not the case on your side of the world, but what are they really like?"
Versailles	"Regrettably the Samanthas here are just as aware as Samanthas over there."
Samantha	"The prison maid and the princess of the tower. The secret key is unobtainable."
Samantha	"Yet the chambermaid is oblivious. She is so upset that she forgets the promise she made to the princess."
Samantha	"'It's a secret between them. It's one secret for both of them.'"
Samantha	"And yet they are not rewarded. There are too many enemies in the castle. They cannot escape alone."
Versailles	"What are you talking about?"
Victoria	"......"
Samantha	"Which key do you want? The key to the tower, the one the princess dropped? The key to the dungeon, which the chambermaid dropped? I'll lend you whichever you want."
Versailles	"That's obvious. We are going to the tower, so we want the tower k...".
Queensway	"Wait a minute. This is a Samantha's riddle. You can't just tell it what you want."
Samantha	"I am asking the half-elf. The human, the elf and the shana, keep your mouths shut and wait."
Queensway	(I can't use my voice!)
Versailles	(Samantha did this.)
Victoria	"Miss Queensway, Miss Versailles?"
Victoria	"You don't mean to tell me that everyone but me has been deprived of a voice...!"
Apparently so. We all signal with our hands that we can't speak, with our mouths flapping. We have all been silenced by Samantha's magic.
Samantha	"You give the answer and their voices return. Now choose which one you want. You alone decide."
Samantha	"Which do you want? The key to the tower, which the princess dropped? The key to the dungeon, which the chambermaid dropped?"
Victoria	"......"
Victoria	"I want... the dungeon key."
Samantha	"Kekekekeke... What will happen, what will happen?"
The moment Victoria chose the dungeon key, something fell with a clunk under Victoria's feet.
Victoria	"It's a bunch of keys. It's numbered. It's the key to this dungeon."
Victoria	"Has your voice returned, ladies and gentlemen?"
Queensway	"It's back. There's nothing unusual."
Versailles	"Victoria, why did you choose the dungeon key? The lock to the cell is open. You can't do anything with the key now."
Victoria	"No, that's not true. The lock of the prison is not open. Anna's prison was only broken by me."
Versailles	"That is true, but..."
Putra	"Girls! Talk later! The water level is rising again. We have to go now, it's really dangerous."
Yoshino	"Ditto. Yoshino's kept quiet until now, but... Yoshino's tail is already soaking wet."
Queensway	"Let's get out of this dungeon. We need to get up the stairs and get to safety!"
Victoria	"Please wait. Let me use this key to open all the prison doors before we escape."
Queensway	"Why? There's no one in the dungeon, remember?"
Victoria	"There was no one in the prison where Anna was. But Anna called for help from inside that prison. There may be others locked in other prisons who are not seen..."
Victoria	"Please, Sir Conductor. I beg you. All we have to do is to open all the locks. If we split and start opening it from the back, we should be able to escape in time. Please allow it."
Paddington	"I beg you too."
Victoria	"My Lady..."
Paddington	"Victoria doesn't say what she wants very often. But when she has a strong hunch, she can suddenly be very selfish. That intuition has saved my life on many occasions."
Paddington	"When my mother's men were ambushing her; when my father's men were ambushing her, and even my sister Islington's men were ambushing her. Victoria has used her natural instincts to evade all enemy's attacks."
Yoshino	"The fact that all of Paddington's enemies are family."
Paddington	"I'm sure the Samantha dropped those keys for a reason. Otherwise we'd all be Samantha by now!"
Victoria	"That's not true, Milady."
Paddington	"Anyway, let's all split up and unlock the prison. The shorter ones, please start from the prison near the doorway. Yoshino, Yakutsk, Versailles!"
Yakutsk	"You too, I presume!"
Paddington	"Hawawa! That's right! So, Sir Conductor, you take care of that one!"
Since Paddington said yes, I'll trust Victoria's instincts here. If something goes wrong because of these locks, then so be it.
Victoria	"Thank you. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility for it."
Conductor	No, no. If anything goes wrong, we all will. If you protect me there, I'll allow you to unlock the dungeon.
Victoria	"Yes!"
