"Phew, we managed to break through it..." | |
|---|---|---|
 Queensway |
"They aren't very strong enemies, but it's harder than I thought, fighting Mist Monsters in a place like this. It's different from fighting them in a cave or on a mountain path." | |
| Queensway |
"Getting the alarm sounded, blocked, and chased by them makes me feel like I'm the villain." | |
 Putra |
"Well, we're villains to the people who protect these ruins, right? They called us intruders and everything." | |
 Amiens |
"Désolé, it's because we got the code wrong..." | |
| Putra |
"Don't worry about it. We've made progress because of that." | |
| Conductor |
Putra is right. Amiens and Rouen deciphered the code, which opened a new door. Although we had to fight the enemy, it was thanks to them that we were able to move on. | |
| Conductor |
The problem is that there are so many paths to choose that it is difficult to know which way to go. | |
| Conductor |
Such divergences are a part of exploring ruins, but when the underground passageway is so narrow and foggy, it's impossible to just keep going where we want as usual. | |
 Paddington |
"This is exactly the kind of situation where I'll be useful!" | |
| Paddington |
"Conductor, don't worry! No matter how intricate these ruins are, I can memorise them perfectly! Let's make a map and go over all the routes!" | |
 Rouen |
"I'm afraid I'll have to reject your approach." | |
| Paddington |
"W-Why not? I can remember everything I see with my own eyes perfectly well, you know?" | |
| Rouen |
"There is no guarantee that these ruins will remain unchanged, Paddington, even if you remember the paths, they could be gone by the time we return. That's the way it is with sites having booby-traps." | |
| Rouen |
"And what happens if Paddington becomes incapacitated? What if the map you made suddenly burned up, or the lights stop working?" | |
| Queensway |
"If that happens, there's nothing we can do. That's if it does happen." | |
| Amiens |
"It can happen. Be it inside ancient ruins, or inside Phantom Mist." | |
| Queensway |
"Oh, I see..." | |
| Amiens |
"Objects with unknown powers can cause phenomena beyond our imagination. I think the Phantom Mist is a typical example of this, but in fact ancient ruins also have such properties." | |
| Rouen |
"If our lifeline disappears at the end of the maze, the whole troop will be destroyed, right? You have to understand the structure and properties of a ruins first." | |
| Amiens |
"Walking around is not a good strategy when it comes to exploring ruins. I used to explore in a very literal way back then and made a lot of mistakes." | |
| Paddington |
"Hawawa, now that you mention it, you're right. I was hoping I could be of some help too..." | |
| Rouen |
"Don't worry, Paddington's rote memorization ability will come in handy in the future. The ability to remember is essential to conquering the ruins." | |
| Paddington |
"T-that's very kind of you to say! If there is anything I can do, please let me know!" | |
| Vivienne |
"These two have become a lot more reliable in the little time I've seen them..." | |
| Putra |
"Oho, the gendarmerie's veteran looks a bit impressed." | |
| Vivienne |
"I thought she hadn't changed when she jumped out of the tree, but of course it's impossible they haven't changed at all. Even those two were chosen for the SSS for very good reasons." | |
| Vivienne |
"The battle earlier was brilliant, and they've properly considered the entire unit's movements. I can't be outdone either." | |
 Yakutsk |
"Hey, can you take a look at this? There's something strange over here." | |
| Vivienne |
"Something strange?" | |
| Vivienne |
"This is!" | |
| Yakutsk |
"It's a steel minecart. From its structure, I think it's designed to have one person ride on and operate." | |
 Yoshino |
"It's Yoshino who found it you know? Yoshino found it, it's Yoshino who found it!" | |
| Putra |
"It's nothing like the minecarts you see in Flamarinian mines. Is the groove underneath the rail? It's nothing like the rails on the Mist Train." | |
| Vivienne |
"How do you move this thing?" | |
| Yakutsk |
"I had Yoshino take a look at it, but she has no idea either. But these mysterious rails seem to extend all the way to the end of the tunnel. I think they are installed in the main tunnels." | |
| Vivienne |
"So we should explore the tunnels that these rails go through. If there is a path for the minecart, there might be some important facilities behind it." | |
| Yoshino |
"There's more there's more! Yoshino has made another important discovery!" | |
| Vivienne |
"Yes, yes, we're listening." | |
| Yoshino |
"Everyone, please take a look at this." | |
| Vivienne |
"Are these bars? There's what looks like an opening/closing device on the inside, but we can't reach it from our side. I wonder if we have to go inside to open it." | |
| Putra |
"It looks like it goes all the way to the back..." | |
| Putra |
"Hey, there's light leaking from the other side!" | |
| Yakutsk |
"Yes. Behind these bars there's a connection to the outside. There's probably a tochka or an exit to the ground." | |
| Yoshino |
"By the way, Yoshino found this too." | |
| Vivienne |
"Wow, Yoshino, you did a great job." | |
| Yoshino |
"Mufufu, you can give even more praises if you like. You can even pat the tail and give sweets, can't you?" | |
| Vivienne |
"Alright, I'll stroke your tail then♪" | |
| Yoshino |
"Oooooh, Vivienne, you are quite the technician~" | |
| Rouen |
"Places where we require keys are the places to go." | |
| Amiens |
"The priority of this investigation is quite high, yes." | |
| Amiens |
"I saw that there are some important facilities beyond these bars. It seems to be a minecart depot, and I think it is essential to conquer it in order to proceed." | |
| Putra |
"I agree with that opinion, but how do we unlock it even? Do we go back to the starting point and try to enter again from the outside? Well, only if we can get in from above ground." | |
| Vivienne |
"Amiens and Rouen, what do you think?" | |
| Amiens |
"I think there is a way to unlock these bars." | |
| Rouen |
"I think I agree with Amiens. Every trap that prevents intruders has a way to be dismantled. The people who created the trap has to be able to proceed themselves." | |
| Putra |
"Do we have to solve another riddle like before?" | |
| Vivienne |
"But there's no code on these bars that could give us a clue. Is there any way to get inside?" | |
| Rouen |
"In theory, there should be alternate pathways in the floor or ceiling behind these things. Let's look carefully for any suspicious doors or switches." | |
| Vivienne |
"The floor along the wall looks like it could be a drain. Speaking of suspicious places, here's one..." | |
| Paddington |
"Everyone, one of these drains has a different quantity of meshes than the others!" | |
| Putra |
"Quantity of meshes!? What...? The quantity of meshes!?" | |
| Yoshino |
"Traps like these are too detailed to be understood." | |
| Vivienne |
"How did you even find out all those details in the dark?" | |
| Paddington |
"The pattern looked different from the others, so I did a bit of counting to try it out. When I looked closer, I saw that the quanity and pattern of the meshes were slightly different!" | |
| Paddington |
"Miss Vivienne, please give me a pat, too!" | |
| Vivienne |
"Oh, sure, if... Paddington is happy with that..." | |
| Paddington |
"Thank you very much!" | |
| Amiens |
"This drainage outlet leads underground. It's really narrow, but a small person could just barely get through if they crouched down. If we can open the bars from the other side, we can all proceed to the end of the passage." | |
| Yoshino |
"Then, firstly a small person has to go through the drain like a rat." | |
| Vivienne |
"Oui, that's right Yoshino." | |
| Putra |
"Mhm, that's right Yoshino." | |
| Yoshino |
"The question is who should be going. Shashou, how many people would you like to dispatch?" | |
| Conductor |
Let me think. It's better to have as small a group as possible, so maybe one or two people. Preferably two, in case something goes wrong. | |
| Yoshino |
"You heard that, Yakutsk? Good luck, do it for everyone." | |
| Yakutsk |
"I don't have a choice. I'll go with you because I'm worried about you alone." | |
| Yoshino |
"Eh......?" | |
| Yoshino |
"Does that mean, Yoshino has to go too?" | |
| Vivienne |
"Mhmhm, bien sûr?" | |
| Yoshino |
"B-But, Yoshino's tail and ears might get stuck." | |
| Vivienne |
"Don't worry. If you get dirty, I'll groom you again then♪ Don't worry, just shove yourself in there." | |
| Yoshino |
"Ooooh-, Vivienne is more Spankin than usual today..." | |
| Yakutsk |
"I think you meant Spartan." | |
| Yoshino |
"Ooooh-, that's right." | |
| Yakutsk |
"Come on, be prepared to go in, Yoshino will take the lead." | |
| Yoshino |
"Why? Yakutsk not taking the lead? Are you afraid that it might be haunted?" | |
| Yakutsk |
"Idiot, of course not! Yer in the lead because your big ears and tail might get stuck! I'm not going to argue with ya! Now get your ass in the hole! Move on!" | |
| Yoshino |
"Ooooh-, Yakky-tan is also Spartan..." | |
