"Yes, Emil, it's too dangerous to continue on our way. There's nowhere to run if the enemies spot us." |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"That's because you're slow, Karl. I'd wish you could've run a bit faster." |

"Yoshino, what do you think?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Suspiciousness max. They're talking about defensive lines and enemies." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"They're too young to join the army or gendarmerie. Perhaps they're spies sent by some organisation." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Organisation, like the Resistance?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"I don't know. But we can't just let them lurk around." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Hold it right there, you two. What are you doing here?" |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"WHOA!? Enemy soldiers!" |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"Karl, calm down! It's true that they're wearing military uniforms, but they're not the enemy." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"I'm Yakutsk from the Eisengrad Army, she's Yoshino from the Nishiki Army, and we're patrolling the area in cooperation with the Verforet Gendarmerie." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Oh, ooooh-?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Is that how it is this time?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Don't tell them we're members of the SSS yet. Just go with my flow." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Ryoukai." |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"Hello Yakutsk, I'm Karl, slow but steady, Emil's elder brother." |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"Hello Yoshino, I'm Emil, stubborn but speedy, Karl's younger brother." |
Karl & Emil |
"And together, we are Karl and Emil!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Is Verforet full of silly people like this?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Why are you two hanging around here? Didn't you just say something about defensive lines and enemies?" |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"Yeah, that's cause..." |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"What should I do, Emil? How should I explain in this case?" |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"That's where the brawny ones like you are lousy at. Leave it to me, I'll explain to them." |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"Yeah, I'll leave it to you." |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"So let me explain why we are lost in this strange place." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"The way you talk sure doesn't sound like you're a child. As if you're used to negotiating." |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"Yakutsk, and Yoshino, I assure you we are not suspicious. It's true. We have no intention of misbehaving in this forest." |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"Actually, we were playing a game here. We were divided into two teams and we were playing capture the flag. This is the enemy team's defensive line. Karl and I wanted to sneak in and take the other team's flag." |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"But when we got into the forest, everything changed. There were trenches, pillboxes and Mist Monsters. We were walking around trying to get to safety, and we got more and more lost." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Regarding that, Yoshino and friends are still investigating. Don't know anything in detail." |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"If we can get to the west of the forest, we'll be able to find our papa and mama. But how can we head west while avoiding these trenches and pillboxes?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Wouldn't west be where the gendarmerie's station is located? From here, the safest route is to go around from the northern side of the forest." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"If your otou-san and oka-san are waiting for you, you must go back quickly. Wait, will show you the map now." |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"That would be great. There are iron fortresses all the way to the south and to the west. We were wondering how to get around them." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Wait a minute? You said there are more fortresses further west from here?" |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"Yes, there are. All the pillboxes in Ouvrage Fermont are intimidat..." |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"Oh..." |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"KARL!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Ya boys know a bit too much about these ruins. How do you know that these ruins are iron fortresses if you're simply lost? I'm quite sure no one else has been in here to investigate yet, you know?" |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"Ugh, that's, I read about it in an old book at..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Where did you read that book? We have a girl in our group who's been reading every single book about Verforench ruins. Even that kid didn't know anything about these Iron Fortresses." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"And, this Ouvrage Fermont you mentioned, its something that's never heard of before. Isn't this place called Schoenenbourg?" |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"I see, so we're already at the Ouvrage Schoenenbourg..." |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"Emil, snatch the map! We're going to turn around from the north and head west, just like these girls said!" |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"Yeah, now we can break through the defensive line!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Ah, Yoshino's map!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"I'm not letting you get away! We're taking you both into custody!" |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"No way. You won't be able to catch us." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Don't ya dare underestimate me! Don't ya dare bunch me together with those ordinary soldiers..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Impossible!? I'm very sure I grabbed..." |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"Farewell then, Yakutsk and Yoshino, I'm happy that you two are the only ones we've met. Thanks to you, we didn't have to waste time fighting." |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"Thanks for the map. You girls are very kind. As a small thank you, I'll tell you a way out of here." |
![Story Karl.png](/images/b/b8/Story_Karl.png) Karl |
"The most terrifying part of Ouvrage Schoenenbourg is the Minecart Graveyard, if you get trapped there, look for the steel floorboards. You should be able to get out through the vents to the fortress ammunition store." |
![Story Emil.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Emil.png) Emil |
"Hmhmm... Be careful of the minecarts inside the fortress." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Tch, those twerps weren't human..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Nee Yakutsk, aren't you and Yoshino in trouble by any chance?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Seems like it. Gonna be tough for the two of us alone to break through." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Yoshino, two whistles!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Ryoukai! Phantom Mist hassai, requesting reinforcements!" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Two whistles!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Reinforcements requested. We all need to go now!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"There's Phantom Mist inside the ruins too! Are these ruins the source of the Phantom Mist after all?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"But there's a very thick Mist in the forest, Yakutsk and Yoshino can't hold it alone." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"We can't eliminate them even if we go. Let's cover their retreat to the tochka!" |
Yakutsk and Yoshino followed the boys out of the tochka. Although they should have been within visual range, the sound of their whistle sounded a long way away. |
