After proceeding through the tunnel filled with Phantom Mist, we emerged into an open area. Unlike the passage where there were iron bars, there are very few lights illuminating these ruins. |

"We've come out into a lot of open space. I wonder if the tunnels are clustered here..." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"It's a big place, yet there are very few lights." |
![Story Amiens.png](/images/d/d1/Story_Amiens.png) Amiens |
"I'm turning on the lights now." |
![Story Amiens.png](/images/d/d1/Story_Amiens.png) Amiens |
"There are a lot of minecarts. The cart that hit us must have left from here." |
![Story Rouen.png](/images/5/52/Story_Rouen.png) Rouen |
"This is a steel terminal. If that's the case, the power source must be nearby." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"But it's eerily quiet. No Phantom Mist, no Mist Monsters." |
Conductor |
Perhaps the power supply range of this site is divided into compartments. The fact that several tunnels converge at this location suggests that not all of the minecarts in this terminal are powered. |
Conductor |
If our enemy were to activate all the minecarts and other resources that are parked here, it would use a lot of energy. |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Meaning, this is the last line of defence?" |
![Story Amiens.png](/images/d/d1/Story_Amiens.png) Amiens |
"It's now or never if we want to move on. If the master of the ruins controls this terminal, there will be a tremendous number of Mist Monsters attacking us." |
![Story Rouen.png](/images/5/52/Story_Rouen.png) Rouen |
"It's not just the monsters we need to be wary of. The traps that block intruders must also be more powerful." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"How can we continue onwards then? There seem to be a lot of tunnels up there, but that's probably the way to the surface. I feel like we're going back to the level where we started." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Everyone, there's another grate over here! Maybe we can get to the lower levels from here." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"I see a lift at the back. If we break in through yet another entrance somewhere else, maybe we can all get on the lift?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Just to add, it was Yoshino who found it this time too." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Good job Yoshino, next time I'll groom your ears." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Eheheh... will make you a little brat who can't live without Yoshino." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Come now Yoshino, stop fooling around, we'll both go again. There's a reasonably sized drainage outlet right here and..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"...Eh?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Oooh, reached for it and it reached back." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Ahaha, so you opened it from the outside..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Y-Yn-Ygh-You should have said that earlier if you can open it this easily!" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Yoshino, do you think you can activate this lift?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"It's a very simple mechanism. The wedge goes clack-clack while the lever is pulled down." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Right then, everybody, get on the lift." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Can we all get on this lift?" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"So there are nine of us in all. I think we'll just barely make it if we squeezy-peazy in, Vivienne, pack a bit more that way." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Gah!? Wait! Don't push me out of the way!" |
![Story Rouen.png](/images/5/52/Story_Rouen.png) Rouen |
"The holy angel shalt fall to purgatory!" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Aduh!" |
![Story Amiens.png](/images/d/d1/Story_Amiens.png) Amiens |
"Rouen, it's not safe to ride like that!" |
![Story Rouen.png](/images/5/52/Story_Rouen.png) Rouen |
"Proceeding on to the last final phase. The master of these ruins is approaching us..." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"No, it's just you approaching it..." |
![Story Amiens.png](/images/d/d1/Story_Amiens.png) Amiens |
"Désolé. Rouen does this when closing in on masters of other ruins. I don't know how she works, but she's rather accurate. Perhaps the thing causing the Phantom Mist is close by." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Heeh, so you're saying she has a good sense then." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Look, all that's left is Yoshino and Yakutsk. Get in. You two can fit in the gap there, can't you? It's kind of, you know, tiny." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"...Yakutsk, you can go on first." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"You go first. I don't want you to get your tail or ears stuck inside it." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"No, that's fine. Anyway, Yakutsk, you go on first." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"It doesn't matter which one of us rides first, we won't be overweight. Even if we are, the chain wouldn't break..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Wait a minute..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Yoshino, did you just told us how this lift works?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"The lever makes the wedge go clack-clack, and Yoshino has to do that. So Yakutsk, you get on the lift." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"No, no. You just said 'the wedge goes clack-clacks while the lever is being lowered'." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Meaning this lift can only be lowered to the bottom if someone is outside operating it, right?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Un, seems like it. So someone has to stay here." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"But that means it would be too dangerous for the people who stayed behind!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"So let's split the team in two. Miss Yakutsk and I will stay here with Miss Yoshino." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Miss Amiens, if you'll pardon me for a moment. I'm getting off the lift now..." |
Just as Queensway is about to push Amiens' body off the lift-- |
--A trap was triggered, splitting our unit in the worst possible way. |
??? |
"Power Room Trap Activated. Terminal Will Now Be Shut Down." |
??? |
"All Units, Rush To The Terminal. Repeat. Rush To The Terminal." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"The lift doors have closed! The alarm too!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Stop messing around, Miss Yoshino! Please open it!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"No, not Yoshino doing this, Yoshino didn't do anything." |
![Story Amiens.png](/images/d/d1/Story_Amiens.png) Amiens |
"The terminal minecarts are on the move!" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"What!? Then the Mist is also..." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"This is bad! We can't fight if we're trapped inside the lift!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"There's no choice but to lower the lift. While Yoshino operates the lever, Yakutsk will have to buy everyone else some time." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"I guess that's the only way. It's going to be trouble after we get everyone down..." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"You can't. You wouldn't have anywhere to run, Yakutsk. Yoshino, can't you somehow get these bars up?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"That would be difficult. There's no mechanism, and also, sensed a very powerful magic." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"This can't be..." |
![Story Rouen.png](/images/5/52/Story_Rouen.png) Rouen |
"In the graveyard of steel, the minecarts came back to life. It was a very evil force that brought them back to life. It is too dangerous to stay. Find a way out quickly." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Graveyard... Way out..." |
![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 Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"If this is the Minecart Graveyard, there is a way out..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yakutsk?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"See! Remember what Karl told us!? If you get trapped in the Minecart Graveyard, look for the steel floorboards!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Ooooh-! That's what he said! He said he'd show us the way out!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Conductor, Yoshino and I will be fine. We know the way down. So please go ahead! If you don't, we'll all die!" |
Conductor |
Can I trust your words? If you're lying, I'll never forgive you, got it? |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"If I wanna lie, I'll tell you a more decent lie. It's impossible for all of us here to get out, but I'm sure it's possible if it's just Yoshino and I!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Sou sou, because Yoshino and friends are tiny." |
Conductor |
Got it, we'll wait downstairs first. Keep your safety as top priority. Find a way out and meet up with us at the deepest part of the ruins. |
Conductor |
All members of the Special Steel Squad, we will destroy the thing that controls this fortress. |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Yoshino, let it down!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Everybody, hold on tight. It's probably coming down pretty fast!" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"You two! Make sure you meet up with us later! If you don't come back, I'm going to give you a bad time!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"What are you talking about? Legkiy, legkiy." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Oh, Vivienne, you can take this." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"This is, the whistle from earlier?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Me and Yoshino will probably never use it again. At least until we leave these ruins." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"What do you mean? You mean you won't call for help anymore?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Everyone, you're going to descend from here in one go! Hold tight, it's dangerous!" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Come on, Vivienne, grab on!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"It's going down really fast! I don't think we're descending, more like we're falling!?" |
Leaving Yoshino and Yakutsk in a terminal overflowing with powered minecarts and a large number of Mist Monsters, the steel lift with seven of us on board fell into the darkness at great speed. |
