It has been about a week since the opening of the Metro Hole. The Special Steel Squad was given a new mission to investigate Iris Metro and to cooperate with its Allied Forces. |
The theory that the two universes are connected via the existence of the five Giant Trees is currently strong, and it is believed that if the anomalies occurring underground are not resolved, there will be major repercussions on the surface too. |

"We were not officially mobilised until cooperation was established between our two universes. We have received reports from the Headquarters of the Metro Allied Forces that both Miss Versailles and Miss Miyako, who had gone to investigate this castle in question, had not yet returned to their posts. In response, we were sent via the Mist Train to conduct a search and rescue operation." |

"Incidentally, the rear unit on standby at the outpost were stranded due to a Phantom Mist manifested along the way, but we of the SSS had eliminated the source of the Mist and are now back in position." |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"It was just as I thought. We were worried when we didn't get any help." |
![Story Victoria.png](/images/c/c8/Story_Victoria.png) Victoria |
"We of the SSS have travelled downwards to Metro and has taken all possible precautions. We will henceforth assist you to investigate this castle. Miss Versailles, we will like to request your help again to assist the SSS." |

"Of course. Miyako and I are still ready to fight." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"On the contrary, please meet up with the rear unit, Miyako." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Eh?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Miyako cannot fight with Yoshino and friends. You have to join another unit and do other jobs." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Why? I was looking forward to fighting with Yoshino-chan together..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yes, Yoshino was looking forward to it too." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Then I can stay with you together, right?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"No, we can't." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
Why not? |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Well, umm..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"......" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"...No, can't do it, can't do it!" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Oui oui~! Yoshino did her best~♪ Leave this to us big sisters here, okay~?" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"I-I think you did better than you did in practice, I gueeess~?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"While we talk with her, you should go and play with Yakutsk, alright~?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"...Munen. Preparation is not kanpen." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"There she goes." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Aiyoh, you're sloppy, beast ears." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Umm, uh..." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Ah, désolé~? Yoshino seems to get nervous in front of Miyako for some reason." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Well, she's not that good at talking to begin with..." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Yeah yeah. The whole time we were on the Train, she kept saying, 'Yoshino's going to have lots of talks with Miyako!', just so you know?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I see? She doesn't have to be so nervous..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"So why do I have to move to the rear?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"When she said to move to rear, she meant that the M. Nishiki Railway Army wants Miyako to hurry up at base in an emergency." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Don't tell me, there's a celestial anomaly in M. Nishiki too..." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"We haven't heard any details, but I did see some of the strongest people in M. Nishiki gathered at the Allied base." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Maybe it's time to repay the price for sending so many people to M. St. Iris's Metro Hole." |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"You get over there now, Miyako. Leave the rest to me." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Versailles..." |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"You are a member of my unit, Miyako. But you are also a soldier of M. Nishiki. As a citizen and soldier of M. Nishiki, you have to battle for your country." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I understand it's a difficult time for the Allied Forces, right? But the only ones left in the Versailles Corps is just me and you now, are you sure?" |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"Don't worry, I'm not alone. I'm together with the SSS and Conductor. Everything will be fine." |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"Besides, this is an order from the Allied High Command. Miyako has no authority to disobey." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Yes, that's true, but..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Please be really careful, listen to what Conductor-san says, okay?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Don't go running off on your own, don't try to force your way through with horrible acting, and don't be reckless." |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"I won't do that." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"You're strong, Versailles, but you have a short temper, so it's easy for you to get worked up, you know? I can handle you fine, but you mustn't cause trouble for the SSS, got it?" |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"I-I know that much! Stop saying embarrassing things of me in front of everyone." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I'm worried." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Hmm hmm... if anything, Miyako is the one who holds the reins, isn't she? Looks difficult for her in many ways?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Not necessarily? Some girls like to be up close and personal." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Really?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"That's just the way it is. Especially towards someone you like." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Hmmmmmmm..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Excuse me. I have been informed that I have other orders. I will join the rear unit and return to the base. Please help me take care of Versailles, SSS." |
![Story Victoria.png](/images/c/c8/Story_Victoria.png) Victoria |
"My pleasure, Miss. Please leave the rest to us." |
![Story Victoria.png](/images/c/c8/Story_Victoria.png) Victoria |
"Iris Cloud's finest Divine Child will clear the rain clouds over this castle." |
![Story Victoria.png](/images/c/c8/Story_Victoria.png) Victoria |
"And the name of that Child is..." |
Victoria |
"Paddington Elrond!" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"......" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"...Eh? Is that me!?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"......" |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"......" |
![Story Victoria.png](/images/c/c8/Story_Victoria.png) Victoria |
"So long as Lady Paddington and I are here, we will not allow evil to exist. We will clear away all the Phantom Mist that manifests upon this world, that threatens the iridescent clouds." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"......" |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"......" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Oh, and also! Because Sir Conductor and the rest of us will fight with everything we've got!" |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"Yes, of course! Let's all work together to clear this Mist!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Miss Miyako, that is why you shouldn't worry about us, and go on to your next mission." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Yes, thank you very much. Please be careful, everyone." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"......" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Goodbye, Yoshino-chan. Let's talk again next time we meet, shall we?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Umm, yes! Next time!" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Have a safe trip." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Mhm, Be careful, Yoshino-chan." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Why are you hiding behind me? You look more scared than nervous." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
'Ughhhhh... Yoshino couldn't do it." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"What a bother, you were so talkative on the train too." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yoshino was able to do it because I practiced with Yakky-tan. Yoshino couldn't do it with the real Miyako." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"It's just that Yoshino's stomach is churning." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Then write down what you want to say on a piece of paper so that next time you can speak properly." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Because there are things that you THINK you could say the next time you see them, but you weren't able to just say them directly." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"You're right..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yoshino will do the best. Next time we meet, will do my best not to cognac." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"You mean 'panic', not 'cognac'." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Ooooh- that's what it is. Yoshino got 'panic' jumbled up with 'konran'." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Thank you, Yakky-tan. Thanks to you, Yoshino is better. Will let you touch my tail again tonight." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"......" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"...Geez, you're quite cute in your own way." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"...It's love." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"HAAAAAAAAAAHH-!?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"L-L-LOVE!? Of course not, I'm not in love with her!" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"What? Not referring to you, Yakutsk." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Eh...?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"I'm talking about Yoshino, she loves Miyako♪" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"......" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Y-Yes I agree! Yoshino is crazy about Miyako. I-I've never been... in love before, so I don't know much about it." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"But let's not make fun of her. I'm sure you know why Yoshino is so interested in her, right?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Well, oui. I have an inkling." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Then we shouldn't make any more noise than we have to. She likes Miyako and wants to get to know her. Let's pretend that's all we know right now." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"She will. I'll reflect a little myself." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"But you know, sometimes things do get strange." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Where there are farewells, there are encounters. Travel long enough and these things can happen too." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Now, let's get to work as soon as possible!" |
