The ever-darkness enveloped the entire Metro Hole area. All lighting fixtures normally used as tools were rendered unusable. We continued on through a darkness so thick that even light sources used by those who are good at magic, such as Vivienne and Yoshino, were almost completely absorbed.
Versailles and Miyako, who were walking at the front of the group, seemed to have a rough idea of the location of the monsters that might be the source of the Phantom Mist.
The two Metro natives were not afraid of the Nacht. Seeing their dependable gait, the Train Knights of Iris Cloud were convinced that all the stories about the girls walking alone through the unknown tunnels of the Metro Hole were true.
Versailles	"This area is the darkest. The source of the outbreak is right under our noses. Everyone, prepare for a surprise attack."
Queensway	"I have no idea which direction we're going..."
Queensway	"Miss Versailles, Miss Miyako, do you two know where the Mist Train is?"
Miyako	"Don't worry. I remember. It's alright, I can guide everybody as long as we don't get separated."
Yakutsk	"You are a reliable ally. Paddington's memory is unfortunately not going to be able to do much good if she can't even see anything here."
Paddington	"Hawawa, I'm so sorry. You're right, I can't input in total darkness. It's an excellent tactic to exploit my weakness. It's quite a monster to be reckoned with."
Yakutsk	"No, I don't think it's exploiting your weaknesses."
Versailles	"...Quiet. Everyone stop where you are."
Miyako	"What's wrong? I don't feel anything.
Versailles	"I can see something up ahead... I sense a shadow."
Queensway	"How far away is it?"
Versailles	"Fifteen to twenty paces from where I am now. It is standing directly in front of us and staring at us. We're in engagement distance. Stay alert."
Vivienne	"Yoshino, what do you see?"
Yoshino	"Yoshino can't see anything, can't feel anything."
Vivienne	"Versailles, can we leave the lights on? If they can see us from the other side, we could turn them off."
Versailles	"Non! Never turn off the lights!"
Vivienne	"Ou, oui..."
Versailles	"If you turn off the lights, we are finished. Not only will you be deprived of light, but also of sound and smell. You won't be able to join your companions and you will wander alone in eternal darkness."
Miyako	"Versailles, calm down. They're not people from Metro. You're scaring them talking like that."
Versailles	"My apologies, Vivienne. I was too harsh."
Vivienne	"It's okay. I understand. Don't worry about it."
Miyako	"It's our fault for not explaining first."
Miyako	"Remember this. Never turn off the lights when you are in the ever-darkness. If there is no light, then do not turn it on from the beginning."
Vivienne	"It's not good to turn off a light once it's on?"
Miyako	'Yes. It is rare for anyone in the Metro Railway Army or the Railway Knights to be unaware of this rule, as there has never been a time when a light has been switched off in ever-darkness and no one has died."
Versailles	"If even one light remains, you can rest assured that you may be safe. But it is possible for all the lights to go out at any moment. The person who magically lit the lamps is responsible for keeping them alight."
Vivienne	"Affrimative. I will defend it to the death."
Queensway	"So, Miss Versailles, have you seen any movement in the shadows?"
Versailles	"Non, it is still standing in the same place. I can't see its face, but the direction of its body indicates that it is still looking at us."
Miyako	"What's wrong, Versailles? You've never said you can see something when I can't feel anything, have you?"
Versailles	"I don't know, but it's right there. I can see it."
Queensway	"How tall is the silhouette?"
Versailles	"About the same as Miss Queensway. I'd say of average female build."
Queensway	"......"
Queensway	"Miss Versailles, do you know of any of your missing companions who are of a similar build?"
Versailles	"There was one. She was a friend of mine from our Knighthood Academy, a very brave knight."
Versailles	"Come to think of it, you have the same haircut as her. Right down to the sword at her waist..."
Queensway	"...No more. Do not think about that person anymore."
Versailles	"What...?"
Queensway	"You are in the enemy's trap. If you walk up to her, you will be swallowed up by darkness."
Versailles	"Oh, non, I am perfectly normal. I can at least distinguish between the Mist and the illusion."
Queensway	"No, you are not normal. How can you distinguish only by sight in the darkness when you can't see anything? At first you didn't tell us anything about the details of the hair or the weapon its carrying."
Versailles	"......"
Queensway	"Snap out of it. It may be difficult to tell you not to think about it, but Miss Versailles, you are projecting your fellow friend into this darkness."
Queensway	"Now, say it into words. Who is the person next to you?"
Versailles	"Miyako. Sorceress of the M. Nishiki Railway Army..."
Queensway	"What is the reason you are here?"
Versailles	"To seek help from the Divine Children of Iris Cloud... To clear this abominable Nacht."
Queensway	"Now, look forward again. Do you see anything in this ever-darkness?"
Versailles	"Non, I don't see anything. Just total darkness."
Versailles	"Then what was I looking at?"
Queensway	"It's alright. This often happens inside the Phantom Mist. We too have been in danger many times in Iris Cloud."
Queensway	"It's hard to recognise yourself when you've been caught in the cracks of the heart. I understand that you feel responsible, but always listen to what your colleagues have to say."
Versailles	"Would you say we are your friends?"
Queensway	"No, we're already friends."
Queensway	"Well, provided we don't become enemies in the future."
Mary	"The atmosphere's changed. Something powerful is coming towards us."
Vivienne	"I don't like this feeling. It's surrounding us, slowly approaching."
Islington	"Mary, Mr. Conductor. Can I have a serious word with you?"
Conductor	Whenever you have serious words, Islington, is when something bad is happening. I have a bad feeling about this, but let's hear it out.
Islington	"This thing that's after us, it's out of our league. If we fight it head on, we'll all die."
Conductor	But we can't run away. We're already engaged. We're trapped like rats now. The only way to create an opening is to fight.
Islington	"He may be what caused the Phantom Mist, he's not breathing it out directly. If he was, it wouldn't be at this level."
Yoshino	"This monster is the cause of the disturbance, but it's not the source of the Phantom Mist."
Islington	"Exactly. Yoshino is right."
Putra	"I understanding absolutely nothing right now."
Vivienne	"At any rate, it doesn't change the fact that it's all his fault, does it?"
Yoshino	"That's a yes."
Islington	"This monster isn't causing the Mist. It's just that this thing's proximity to the Metro Hole is causing Celestial Sphere anomalies and dangerous black mist."
Islington	"It's an existential evil. The very magic it emits is having an adverse effect on this place. It's like the Poison of Iris Cloud."
Mary	"So you're saying something far more evil than people could have imagined has awakened in this world?"
???	"You are the Divine Child of the Iridescent Clouds. Why have you come to this world?"
Versailles	"The enemy!"
Miyako	"It's real this time. I can't see him clearly, but..."
King of Ever-Darkness	I am the King of Ever-Darkness. I am the one who lurks in the underground Nacht."
King of Ever-Darkness	"I will turn this whole world into ever-darkness. From the Mists and clouds I draw dark power to bring about eternal night."
King of Ever-Darkness	"Do not touch the Guardians of the Giant Trees. The Divine Child of the Iridescent Clouds obtaining the Power of Clear Lands is enough."
King of Ever-Darkness	"Stay away from the darkness of night and clouds, and then we will be able to coexist."
Yakutsk	"What is he talking about? How can we coexist with this...?"
Yoshino	"What does the Power of Clear Lands have to do with the Children of the Clear Lands?"
Yoshino	"Thinking that the Mistism cultists had said something like that."
Versailles	"So such a being exists here. No wonder the Nacht still continued on..."
Miyako	"We're powerless. This is not even a demon anymore."
Miyako	"How... What should we do? Versailles?"
Versailles	"Dammit..."
Versailles	"O' King of Ever-darkness! Please, I beg you to listen to me!"
Versailles	"Will you please leave this land? Will you please leave us alone?"
King of Ever-Darkness	"Do not tell me what to do, puny dwarf. I decide where to build up my strength."
Versailles	"I am not giving an order, but a suggestion. There is too much light here. Look at the number of celestial spheres here that are lit. If you spread ever-darkness here, the harmony of the world will be greatly disturbed. I don't know what it is you want, but this is not the place for Nacht."
Islington	"What a gambler. People don't even exaggerate that much too."
Mary	"But it's working. Perhaps it's not a bluff, but the truth."
King of Ever-Darkness	"Humans are foolish and short-lived creatures. They will never reach our realm."
King of Ever-Darkness	"Can thy escape this darkness? Thy want to talk light, but can thy see enough to tell me the light?"
King of Ever-Darkness	"Show me thy strength. If thy can take even one step forward through this darkness. I will gather strength again in another land."
Queensway	"The lights have gone out!"
Vivienne	"Non, I can't turn the lights on anymore. I can't use magic to replace the lights!"
Versailles	"We don't need the lights anymore. Even if we could, we shouldn't rely on them."
Versailles	"We must break through this ever-darkness on our own. Let's bring back the light. The Nacht is over!"
Putra	"Gosh, something's coming..."
Yoshino	"But it's not as scary as the one before."
Yakutsk	"So he wants us to fight him. Bring it on."
Versailles	"Sir Conductor, Lady Islington, please cover us. SSS, lend us your support too!"
