"ORA! First~!" |
![Story Akihabara.png](/images/8/8b/Story_Akihabara.png) Akihabara |
"Now, Shibuya-san has reached the finish line! ClapClapClap☆" |
The two strange-looking people descended the stairs and kicked down the door leading to the basement. Behind them, a strange landscape spreads out, and a dense Phantom Mist is drifting in the air. |
![Story Shibuya.png](/images/b/be/Story_Shibuya.png) Shibuya |
"Uuggh... The air is stagnant, don't want to breathe in this much." |
![Story Akihabara.png](/images/8/8b/Story_Akihabara.png) Akihabara |
"Shibuya-shi, you don't like the smell, do you?" |
![Story Shibuya.png](/images/b/be/Story_Shibuya.png) Shibuya |
"Aye, Akiba-chan really understands Shibuya-san now~☆ Think it's safe to say that we're friends now, isn't it!?" |
![Story Akihabara.png](/images/8/8b/Story_Akihabara.png) Akihabara |
"Course not! Anyone with a little bit of observation can see that, Shibuya-shi, your ecology is basically the same as a dog's!" |
![Story Shibuya.png](/images/b/be/Story_Shibuya.png) Shibuya |
"Wanwan♪ So happy to walk with Goshujin wan♪" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"--Cut the noise a bit, you girls." |
An Abashiri in dismay inspected the heads of Shibuya's team with her artifact. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"The Phantom Mist is too thick here... You inexperienced ones don't seem to know how to protect yourselves.
I've put up a spell barrier--" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"The Phantom Mist here is thick and it seems to have some strange properties... It won't last long, but this should alleviate problems for now..." |
![Story Akihabara.png](/images/8/8b/Story_Akihabara.png) Akihabara |
"Wawaah, thank you for that, Abashiri-paisen!" |
![Story Shibuya.png](/images/b/be/Story_Shibuya.png) Shibuya |
"Paisen's the best! Ye're a real son of a gun!" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"What's with your tone...? Paisen...?" |
Despite being dubious, Abashiri, who does not normally interact much with the rest of the team, looked amused. Being a prison warden is a position where favouritism isn't allowed, so her reactions were probably refreshing to everyone. |
![Story Susukino.png](/images/2/2b/Story_Susukino.png) Susukino |
"Hehehe~♪ I'm glad everyone likes Abashiri nee-tan a lot!" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"N-now's not the time to goof around..." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Look.... That is probably the thing that has changed the city that Susukino loved so much- the source of the Phantom Mist..." |
In the middle of the vast underground space, where Abashiri looked ahead with her artifact held up, there was a tower of poisonous colours. A large amount of Phantom Mist is constantly emanating from that tower. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Further underground in the subterranean world of Iris Metro... Hidden in the depths, the bottom of the pit, is the root of all evil..." |
![Story Shibuya.png](/images/b/be/Story_Shibuya.png) Shibuya |
"Uni~, what is that thing? Just looking at it makes eyes flicker and the back of throat go iiicky!" |
![Story Akihabara.png](/images/8/8b/Story_Akihabara.png) Akihabara |
"It's like it's emitting some kind of weird radio waves or something... The corner of my forehead hurts." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"The radio waves you're talking about are some kind of a sorcery...? It seems that from that mysterious tower, along with the Phantom Mist, is a flowing energy that makes others uncomfortable..." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"It irritates us, is that why you guys were being overly violent just now...?" |
![Story Shibuya.png](/images/b/be/Story_Shibuya.png) Shibuya |
"Osu! In addition, feel light-headed when watching it! Like it's all buzzy?" |
Conductor |
A radio tower that makes people's minds fuzzy, unstable and violent - is that it? |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"At the same time, that tower also generates an endless Phantom Mist, so just getting close to it seems to erode our sanity more and more..." |
Conductor |
Just by being in this town, we are becoming more and more tainted with vice-- I wonder if that's what it means. A rotten apple spoils the barrel. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Yeah... It's really nasty... If this keeps spreading, the whole world will be tainted with evil-" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"We're here to make sure that doesn't happen, let's get on with destroying that weird tower..." |
![Story Akihabara.png](/images/8/8b/Story_Akihabara.png) Akihabara |
"Understood chu! Let's do it with an epic baa~ng☆ |
![Story Shibuya.png](/images/b/be/Story_Shibuya.png) Shibuya |
"Mmm~... This place is underground, so if we start blasting, won't it collapse everywhere and we'll be buried alive?" |
![Story Akihabara.png](/images/8/8b/Story_Akihabara.png) Akihabara |
"Why do you sometimes give calm and sensible opinions, Shibuya-shi? It's hard to grasp what kind of character you are...!" |
![Story Shibuya.png](/images/b/be/Story_Shibuya.png) Shibuya |
"Eh~? There's no other baddie as easy to understand and as coquettish as Shibuya-san, is there?" |
![Story Akihabara.png](/images/8/8b/Story_Akihabara.png) Akihabara |
"That's why you're not even a baddie!? If you're a good girl, be a good girl; if you're a bad girl, be a bad girl!" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Hmm. It's not possible to make such clear distinctions between good and bad. Everyone has a good side and an evil side..." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"And only when evil has gone too far will we judge and give it the punishment it deserves. In doing so, we bring a little bit of good to this chaotic world." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"We can only do so much." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"But. That's exactly what we do. I believe." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"We are not good." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"But. We are not evil either." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"We are just ordinary people everywhere, fluctuating between good and evil... ordinary people who continue to strive for the greater good." |
![Story Susukino.png](/images/2/2b/Story_Susukino.png) Susukino |
"......" |
Just as Abashiri said those words decisively and enchanted her artifact, Susukino suddenly stood in front of her. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"? What's wrong, Susukino? I'm going to destroy that radio tower? It's dangerous to stand there, okay...?" |
![Story Susukino.png](/images/2/2b/Story_Susukino.png) Susukino |
"Un, but wait a bit before you destroy that thing, Abashiri nee-tan." |
![Story Susukino.png](/images/2/2b/Story_Susukino.png) Susukino |
"But first, there is someone ah want to talk to about." |
Susukino told her something strange and then walked up to the radio tower recklessly. Straight ahead, unafraid of the drifting Phantom Mist and the mysterious radio waves emitted from the tower. |
![Story Susukino.png](/images/2/2b/Story_Susukino.png) Susukino |
"...It's been a while." |
![Story Susukino.png](/images/2/2b/Story_Susukino.png) Susukino |
"Ah knew you'd be here♪ You said many times that if you were going to die, this would be the place to do it-" |
She walked up to the base of the tower and rubs her cheek against it. As it was, she often whispered like this to people. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"What are you doing? Who are you talking to, Susukino...?" |
The moment when Abashiri writhed in bewilderment and worried about her- |
Doku Doku Radio Tower |
"GGGGGGGGGG!" |
Strangely biological parts - countless eyeballs and limbs - sprouted everywhere around the tower, and attacked the defenceless Susukino! |
