Railway Seeker |
"......" |
Queensway |
"It's strong... There's no weaknesses at all..." |
Versailles |
"It dodges when it gets close... Vivienne's and Yoshino's attacks don't even work either?" |
The Demon General, the name given to this Railway Seeker by the Mistism cultist, was stronger than anything else we had fought so far. |
Neither magic or sorcery attacks, nor direct attacks by Versailles or Queensway had much effect. Sometimes it nullified damage, other times it physically evaded attacks. Its tactics are very versatile. |
Railway Seeker |
"Did you think even this is just everything our army can do?" |
Versailles |
"What the?" |
Machine Soldier A |
"......" |
Machine Soldier B |
"......" |
Queensway |
"Machine soldiers! At this time..." |
Euston |
"They're very large. Not just one, but several too." |
Versailles |
"These are the ones that Queensway and I had trouble with. We have to take them out before they call forth reinforcements..." |
Railway Seeker |
"O' Divine Child of Iridescence. I will grant thou mercy one more time." |
Railway Seeker |
"Come with me. Be my servant and knight to defend the Steel Throne." |
Railway Seeker |
"Our family will rule the foggy world. I shall bear your children and they shall be heirs. A new power will create a perfect world!" |
Yakutsk |
"SCREW YA! You don't actually want Conductor at all!" |
Vivienne |
"Yeah! You gave two choices before, servant or wife, and now you want both!" |
Putra |
"Wife... well, not wrong to be honest." |
Yoshino |
"You will Inject a lot of dark Iron into Shashou. Understood." |
Yoshino |
"And then Shashou goes crazy. Wondered if that Railway Seeker was like that too, huh..." |
Railway Seeker |
"Come, join this side. Mistism welcomes you. Live as my husband and I will spare the lives of these women." |
Queensway |
"No, Sir Conductor! They will use you to their advantage and that will be the end of it! We won't be safe either!" |
Versailles |
"That's right! Let's retreat! I'll create an opening while you get the Mist Train to..." |
Euston |
"Versailles." |
Versailles |
"Sir Knight Euston, please don't lecture me at a time like this. I never said anything wrong, if we surrender Conductor to the Mistism, that's the end of the world!" |
Euston |
"Did I ever said you were wrong? I agree with you." |
Versailles |
"Ah..." |
Euston |
"I'll join you. Let's buy ourselves some time. I'm sure we can make it work between the two of us." |
Versailles |
"Sir Knight Euston..." |
Queensway |
"Then I will stay too." |
Euston |
"No, Miss Queensway, you will escort Conductor. I hate to be frank, but it is easier with just the two of us. We have trained together for countless times. Just like you and Mary." |
Queensway |
"No..." |
Versailles and Euston stood forth against the Railway Seeker, each holding their weapons. While they both appear to have a flawless stance, they cannot win this fight alone. This opponent could not be handled even with all of us at combined. This is not a good strategy. |
Even if the two of them bought ourselves enough time, they would not be able to escape. One Railway Seeker would be enough. If we include the several large mechanical soldiers on top of that... our conclusion is hopeless. |
Should I go to Mistism once myself here and bet on the slim hope that our allies will come to my rescue...? |
Just as I was making this rare consideration, I sensed faint magic somewhere from afar. |
And in the space of a blink of an eye, that "faint magic from afar" turned into "powerful magical raining down from directly above the enemy". |
|
??? |
St. Iris's Lightning! Incinerate all sinners!" |
ーーIridescent Light of Absolution. One of the world's strongest magic that mankind can use. |
The lightning of justice, which strikes out only the wicked, scattered everywhere and instantly eliminated anything within. |
??? |
"Milord Conductor! Are you safe!?" |
Queensway |
"She is... No way..." |
Paddington |
"Eldest sister Farringdon!?" |
Farringdon |
"Paddington, I'm glad you're safe too. Ah, I'm glad I made it in time." |
The individual who struck the miraculous blow out of the most desperate situation. The most famous Divine Child of St. Iris. |
ーーFarringdon Elrond.
She is said to be the successor to Ricardo Trevithick, the world's most powerful Divine Child. |
Farringdon |
"I apologize for the delay in my arrival. Are you hurt?" |
Conductor |
"No problem. The Train Knights protected me. Paddington did a great job. |
Conductor |
That said, what about the infantry unit? If you're here, Farringdon, does that mean the Thorn Railway is now passable? |
Farringdon |
"Yes, I have arrived here with the Allied Forces elites. The Mist seems to have lifted almost as soon as I arrived." |
Conductor |
Good to hear. Now we can continue with the operation. Now if only we could get power back to the Station... |
Farringdon |
"That is not our concern. Take a look over there." |
Putra |
"The lights are lit..." |
Vivienne |
"And aren't the tracks glowing slightly too? It looks like it has magic in it." |
Farringdon |
"The Station power has returned. Now we can see what's ahead. I am sure that the Iridescent God will guide us ahead." |
Yoshino |
"Is it because the Railway Seeker was defeated? Or did it respond to Farringdon's magic?" |
Farringdon |
"Probably the former, I think. The Railway Seeker may have suppressed Conductor's magic." |
Yoshino |
"Oooooh, that's why. That's why Yoshino and friends weren't doing so well in the fight earlier." |
Yoshino |
"Farringdon, is amazing. Not only are you strong, but also smart." |
Farringdon |
"Hmmhmm, I'm flattered." |
Yoshino |
"Yoshino, thinks Farringdon is nice. Do you want some ohagi?" |
Yakutsk |
"HO-HO-HO-HOLD IT! YA DARNED FOX! What are ya presenting with that squished ohagi? You should look at the person you're talking to first before you say things like that!" |
Yoshino |
"Why? Paddington would happily eat it though?" |
Yakutsk |
"Paddington is the exception and not the norm!" |
Yoshino |
"Is that so? Even siblings have different tastes then." |
Yoshino |
"By the way Yakky-tan, there's a scary story to really tell you. Yoshino has one ohagi missing. Maybe someone stole it..." |
Yakutsk |
"I don't care! That's enough, ya just come over here for a minute!" |
Farringdon |
"To all Train Knights, you have fought well. As the Divine Child, and as a St. Irish citizen, I thank you from the bottom of my heart." |
Farringdon |
"Miss Queensway. I have heard of a lot of your accomplishments. As a fellow St. Irish citizen, I am very proud of you." |
Queensway |
"Th-thank you for your kind words! I will continue to fight with all my might as a knight!" |
Farringdon |
"Paddington has grown up so well. As your sister, I am happy for you." |
Paddington |
"It's been a long time, sis Farringdon. I hear you hardly come home anymore..." |
Farringdon |
"My place is at the royal castle. I have official duties, so I don't have much time to spend with you." |
Farringdon |
"By the way, Paddington." |
Paddington |
"Yes? What is it?" |
Farringdon |
"Have you, since you have been here, spoken or acted in any unnatural way while unconscious? I've been informed that it hasn't been for some time now..." |
Paddington |
"About that, it seems like something similar has happened again for the first time in awhile. When I was preparing to accelerate the train into the Thorn Railway, I said something strange without realizing it..." |
Farringdon |
"Do you remember what those words were?" |
Paddington |
"Yes. Putra and the others wrote it down and I remember it verbatim." |
Farringdon |
"Say it." |
Paddington |
"Power has returned to the land of ruin. The railroad wakes up from its slumber and clears the Mist." |
Paddington |
"The old railway is not dead. It runs between graves and corpses, and will look up at the dead Giant Tree." |
Paddington |
"That's it. I have no idea what I'm even talking about." |
Farringdon |
"......" |
Paddington |
"Sis Farringdon?" |
Farringdon |
"Yeah... indeed. What is that all about, I wonder?" |
Farringdon |
"Just to be safe, don't be alone for a while. And if you say more incomprehensible words, let me be aware of it. I will do anything to protect you." |
Paddington |
"Heh heh, sis Farringdon, I'm kind of embarrassed to hear you say that!" |
Versailles |
"This is the Steel Tree Station... How far do the tracks go?" |
Euston |
"There might be a Metro Hole somewhere." |
Versailles |
"I don't think we can go back to Metro for a while yet..." |
Euston |
"......" |
Euston |
"Versailles, I apologize. I know I was cruel to you, for bringing up the Versailles unit..." |
Versailles |
"It's fine. You needed to talk about it at the time, and it was only when you, Knight Commander Euston, seriously scolded me that I was able to face my mistake immediately." |
Euston |
"You have grown a lot in this battle. You are now a full-fledged knight." |
Versailles |
"Come on. That's not something you should be saying now. While it's true that I'm still a long way from you, Knight Commander Euston, I'm already a troop leader, you know?" |
Euston |
"Yeah, I know that. I also properly recognize your competence." |
Euston |
"I shouldn't have. I haven't been able to let you hands-off yet. I know I'm a busybody, you know? However I can't help but talk to you and help you." |
Versailles |
"And what's wrong with that? A knight does not fight alone. Together with their friends, they help each other to accomplish their mission." |
Euston |
"......" |
Versailles |
"But Sir Knight Euston, you tried to fight alone earlier. You said, 'Let's both stay'... But you were going to let me escape." |
Versailles |
"I intended to stay alone in the end. If you suggested that, I would never comply, so you tried to trick me into helping you." |
Versailles |
"Am I wrong?" |
Euston |
"No... You are right." |
Versailles |
"Let's not be like that. I'm already a full-fledged knight." |
Euston |
"......" |
Versailles |
"But I don't care even if I'm only half-baked." |
Versailles |
"If you stay by my side forever..." |
Versailles |
"If Sir Knight Euston is gone, I don't mind being half-baked." |
Versailles |
"That's a childish idea, isn't it? That's why I won't say such a thing in public. I can hold my own." |
Versailles |
"So please be patient, too, Sir Knight Euston. Don't put yourself in danger to let me hands-off. That is naive. As a fellow knight, face me to the very end." |
Euston |
"I'm sorry..." |
Euston |
"I am so sorry. I have done such a terrible thing to you..." |
Versailles |
"Please believe in me. Trust me, as I trust you with all my heart." |
Euston |
"What are you talking about? I have always believed in you." |
Euston |
"I will always be with you, Versailles." |
