42-EP	Epilogue

――Poison is Steel. Steel is Poison.
――Poison is the product of the sisters who control the clouds. Light and darkness, each belong to each sister cannot create the same cloud.
――Yet the bond between the sisters is deep and strong. Even forces that are never compatible can be drawn together in one place.
Paddington	"Big sis, big sis! Please, stay strong!"
Islington	"This is bad... I'm almost fainting a bit now..."
Vivienne	"Her magic is draining more rapidly than before. She's drained of so much magic that it's visible."
Putra	"Versailles, Queensway, get rid of her, we need to get that weapon away from Islington!"
Versailles	"Affirmative! Queensway, let's go!"
Queensway	"Yes! Let's both work together!"
Alma	"One versus two... You goons are so funny!"
In an attempt to pull Alma away from Islington, Versailles and Queensway both jumped on Alma.
The two women were acting much better than before. Versailles is not only clawing away at her own top speed, but also adjusting well to make it easier for Queensway to match her movements.
Versailles	"HAH!"
Queensway	"YAAH!"
Alma	"Uhehehehe! You're moving a bit better!"
The battle between the three of them unfolds with blinding speed. Including myself, I decided to leave this battle to Versailles and Queensway for the time being.
Priority should be given to rescuing Islington rather than defeating Alma. Yoshino, Vivienne and Putra quickly moved away to ensure Islington and Paddington's safety.
Alma	"Well, this is better, but not so much that I can't see it."
Alma	"I see I see. So this is how it feels."
Alma	"Their overall levels seem high, but I and Lady Youko can fight them all on our own. That man over there doesn't seem that strong at the moment either..."
Alma gradually moves backwards, but with her face relaxed, and casually parried Versailles' and Queensway's attacks.
Versailles	(She's stopped moving!)
Queensway	(She has only this place to go!)
Alma, having retreated on the tracks, comes to the front of the Gate and stopped there. Versailles and Queensway did not miss the opportunity. They slashed at the stationary Alma together at the same time.
Both	"――!"
Their attack was blocked by the technique of another person who was not Alma.
It was a special sorcery art that splashed the two of them. That kind of technique is used... by a sorceress from another world.
Youko	"You are playing too much... Alma."
Alma	"Lady Youko♪"
Queensway	"Youko... you are alive after all."
Youko	"Happy to meet you, everyone of the SSS. Happy to meet Youko as always."
Youko	"Yuuzen-san and the rest of you really got me at Nishiki. It was an inadvertent mistake on my part."
Youko	"However, I don't see Yuuzen-san today. She must be suffering on the road to Shura with her friends."
Miyako	"Yuuzen-san is here. I don't think you should let your guard down too much."
Youko	"Ara, you are Yuuzen-san's... Have you improved your skills a little?"
Yoshino	"Not a little, Miyako is getting very strong."
Islington	"Oi, vixen bitch... Don't just ignore me and carry on..."
Paddington	"Big sis, don't push yourself!"
Youko	"You are the St. Iris's Divine Child, and you look sick. It's as if the Steel Tree is sucking your magic."
Islington	"......?"
Miyako	"It is Alma's weapon that is sucking her magic. It is not being absorbed by the Steel Tree."
Youko	"Yeah, it certainly is. But only if she is wounded by that weapon."
Miyako	"What do you mean?"
Alma	"Lady Youko, be careful with that Miyako twerp. She uses Clairvoyance."
Youko	"That twerp's clairvoyance is nothing. It doesn't affect me in any way."
Alma	"I-I'm sorry..."
Youko	"You have entered the Steel Tree. You didn't even know what kind of place this was."
Youko	"Fine. I've already bought you enough time, so I'll tell you one good thing."
Youko	"...... Those who set foot inside the Steel Tree will have their magic sucked up by the huge Mist Core. Those who are not resistant to Poison will eventually lose their lives."
Youko	"Be careful, okay? The more powerful you are, the better you be as its bait. You wouldn't want to be a source of evil light, would you? Ufufufufu..."
Islington	"What the...?"
Islington	"What did you just say? What do you mean, 'source of evil light'?"
Youko	"Ara, you didn't understand me now? If so, let me explain it a little more clearly."
Youko	"In short, all of you will be the energy of that Mist Core, which means that the powers of Divine Children and Train Knights will be used to destroy Iris Cloud."
Islington	"You vixen bitch..."
Conductor	The evil light is a ray of light emitted by the giant Mist Core. It is the dark force that obliterated the northern St. Iris villages.
Conductor	Is that ray about to absorb our power and be released again?
Youko	"It probably will when it is sufficiently filled with power. Even if we leave it alone, the power will eventually build up, but it will be much earlier than planned."
Yoshino	"There are many Train Knights in the Steel Tree now. Especially strong people are gathered there, so it should be able to build up its power quickly."
Youko	"Exactly. You are very clever little one. It would be very troublesome if a sorceress like you learns clairvoyance."
Yoshino	"If possible, would like to devise a way to stop the absorption of magic power, but so far haven't able to come up with anything yet."
Youko	"Ufufu, good luck with that, the Mistism cultists are working on this and that to make the Mist Core more active. If you don't hurry, something terrible will be launched soon."
Queensway	"The Mistism cult must think that the Mist Core in the Steel Tree is a weapon."
Versailles	"They even consider this their castle. Of course they consider that Mist Core to be their property."
Yoshino	"They had very specific plans, such as a kingdom, the throne, and that they wanted to marry Shashou."
Islington	"Youko, I'm going to ask you this. If the Mist Core from the Steel Tree becomes a weapon of mass destruction, what's in it for the Mistism bastards?"
Youko	"I wouldn't know about that, because the Mistism cultists have nothing to do with us."
Islington	"What's in it for you then? You don't just want to see us suffer, do you?"
Youko	"Some of my colleagues have such twisted proclivities, but not me. Our priority is our cause. To do that, we will eliminate anything that gets in our way, even if it's by force. That is all."
Islington	"It looks like you're not in perfect shape. Do you think you and this little guy Alma can beat us?"
Youko	"It is not our objective to beat you. If we thought there was a problem, we wouldn't have bothered to do this."
Youko	"However, I will tell you this. I am not afraid of death. The same goes for Alma here. Right, Alma?"
Alma	"Yes Lady Youko. I will do anything dangerous for the sake of world peace. Uhehehehe."
Islington	"Peace? For the sake of world peace?"
Youko	"Correct. Just like you. We are fighting for a cause. World peace is what we are defending. It is a mission worth risking our lives for."
Conductor	The "world" Youko and her partner are referring to is not Iris Cloud. Our homeworld. They probably mean the otherworld as we see it.
Conductor	If the safety of your world can be ensured, you are willing to allow Iris Cloud to be flooded with Poison.
Youko	"It's as you say. I was sure that one day, when I told you about this, you would give me an answer like that.
Youko	"How can you say such a thing without seeing our world?"
Youko	"...... Ah, that's right. We are in the Steel Tree. Let me take you to our world."
Miyako	"It's transference magic! Get away from Youko now!"
Youko	"Useless. You won't make it in time, I'll send the Mist Train and everything else flying."
Miyako notices something is wrong and tries to counter-sorcery, but Youko's art refuses to respond to any of them.
The gate on the severed track widens, and at the same time the space inside the Steel Tree is distorted. We and the Mist Train are sucked into the dimensional chasm...
