"The spring should be around here but... gosh this Mist is remarkable." |
Yakutsk |
"Theres seems to be a thick Mist concentrated just in this area. The Mist Monsters that attacked us were pretty tough too." |
Yoshino |
"Where is Queenrose anyway?" |
Queensway |
"...There she is. Over there." |
Queenrose |
"......" |
Queensway |
"Queenrose!" |
Queenrose |
"Ah, you're here. You all were so late, that I thought you had decided to turn back." |
Yakutsk |
"So? Where is this awful Mist Monster you were going on about?" |
Queenrose |
"Still hasn't shown itself yet. Probably hid itself considering there's so many visitors now." |
Yakutsk |
"Heh, a bit too shy for a Mist Monster, isn't it? You wouldn't happen to be lying to us now, would you?" |
Vivienne |
"I don't sense any threats. At least for the moment." |
Yoshino |
"Yup, no magical energies detected." |
Queensway |
"I don't care if she's lying. Let it be." |
Yakutsk |
"Queensway..." |
Queenrose |
"Heh... you sure look different." |
|
Queensway |
"Queenrose, please answer me. What is it that you are trying to do? If your goals are to eliminate Mist Monsters, why don't you cooperate with the us of the Allied Forces?" |
Queenrose |
"I cannot answer the first question. As for the second one... Let's say that 'cooperation' was never possible. You and I have different goals." |
Queensway |
"You said that the Mist Monster in the spring was a mass of poison spewed out by the Steel Seeker. If that's true, weren't you the one that made it spit that stuff out?" |
Queenrose |
"Yes, that's correct. All part of the plan. Weren't you watching that whole time?" |
Yakutsk |
"I don't like her at all. She doesn't even care about what's going on." |
Putra |
"That's because she's so confident about how strong she is." |
Yoshino |
"Not only is she confident that she can overpower us, she's also confident that what she's doing is right, maybe?" |
Queensway |
"If you are summoning Mist Monsters willingly, I cannot ignore this. It means that the Phantom Mist that is spreading over this forest is because of your actions. I want to hear what you have to say about that." |
Queenrose |
"Very well, I won't deny it. It is just as you said." |
Queensway |
"It is then?" |
Queensway |
"Conductor, let's detain her and press her for more information. About the Steel Seekers, and about the Phantom Mist. Highly likely that she has information we don't know." |
Queensway |
"Besides, if we just let her go, I'm sure that something unpleasant like this is bound to happen again." |
Queensway |
"Queenrose. I ask that you come with us." |
Queenrose |
"Terrible choice of words. You make me sound like I'm the villainess." |
Queenrose |
"But, you know, you can't just decide that I'm the enemy right here and now. No way for you to prove it. If you're still making that statement knowing that, there's no way I'd come quietly even it's from Allied riff raff." |
Yakutsk |
"Queensway, watch out! She's about to draw her sword!" |
Queensway |
"Yes, I know." |
Queensway |
"If you're ready, so am I." |
Yakutsk |
"Queensway..." |
Queensway drew her sword and pointed the tip of her blade towards Queenrose. Yakutsk and the other Train Knights followed suit and assumed combat positions. |
Queensway |
"I have no intention of fighting you. If you wish to show how strong you are, fight the Steel Seeker's mass of poison." |
Queenrose |
"...But on second thought, I think I want to test you just a little bit. Queensway, allow me to ask you again. Why do you wield that sword?" |
Queensway |
"I am just doing what I am meant to do. As a knight, as a Train Knight. And... As Queensway." |
Queensway |
"To see different worlds, to meet the people living there, to save everyone in this world from darkness. That is why I chose the path of steel. And my destination isn't a place that I can walk to from a big, fancy mansion." |
Queensway |
"I'm not wielding this sword just to stick with tradition. No one can determine the truth from being stuck inside a castle. If that were the case, the Mist would've lifted long ago." |
Queenrose |
"......" |
Queensway |
"I want to express my gratitude to the benefactor who taught me that. And should she need help now, somewhere, I would not hesitate to be the first person to offer her my assistance." |
Queensway |
"If I can't even save a friend of mine, no way I'm saving the world. I wield by sword for my convictions and for the people I love." |
Queenrose |
"...I'll take those words to mean that you're ready to fight." |
Vivienne |
"What incredible magical energy..." |
Putra |
"Could that be Queenrose's magic!? Serious!?" |
Yoshino |
"Likely, but she doesn't have just one person's magical energy. Feels like she has a mixture of two branches of magic in her." |
Queensway |
"Queenrose, please surrender. I want to avoid any pointless confrontations." |
Queenrose |
"I am just doing what I am meant to do." |
Queensway |
"Are you now? Well then..." |
Queensway |
"HYAAHHH!" |
Yakutsk |
"S-so fast...!" |
Putra |
"That was Queensway? I never seen her move like that before..." |
Queenrose |
"You're pretty quick. You made me draw my sword quickly too. Not that it matters, that was already my original intention..." |
Conductor |
Queensway's attack was so fast that no one was able to track her movements, except Queenrose. She had drawn her sword to deflect her attack. |
Finchley |
"That sword...!" |
Putra |
"Sword? What about that sword?" |
Finchley |
"That sword is from the Order of St. Iris. It's no mere standard issue. This is only bestowed to those who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor. There's only a handful of knights who have this." |
Queensway |
"No wonder, it looked really familiar to me. Queenrose, are you actually a Knight of St. Iris!?" |
Queenrose |
"Ah, this sword...?" |
Queenrose |
"I picked it up from within the Phantom Mist. Quite a sharp blade, so I'm quite a fan of it." |
Finchley |
"You picked it up?" |
Putra |
"So you stole it then!?" |
Queensway |
"You are not worthy to wield that blade. That is the badge of honor for the knight who sacrificed in battle inside the Phantom Mist." |
Queenrose |
"Honor... Honor?" |
Queenrose |
"Hmph, nonsense." |
Queensway |
"NO!" |
Finchley |
"She parried Queensway's sword with just one hand... That woman, is no mere swordswoman." |
Queenrose |
"Your swordplay isn't bad. Queensway, you might even become a great swordswoman." |
Queenrose |
"But you're still quite lacking in experience. I commend you for not flinching even after I parried your sword, but retrieving your blade immediately after is a better tactic." |
Queenrose |
"I'll leave this mook for you all to fight. Do you best and try not to die, okay?" |
Queensway |
"AH, WAIT!" |
Putra |
"She disappeared again..." |
Vivienne |
"What did she mean by this mook then?" |
Yakutsk |
"Must be the Mist Monster she was talking about. The poison the Steel Seeker spewed?" |
Queensway |
"So then the two magic energies you were talking about, must be from the Mist Monster then?" |
Yoshino |
"The magical energy's strengthened. It might even be really close." |
Putra |
"Really close to where?" |
Yoshino |
"Close to Yoshino and friends right now?" |
Putra |
"No no no..." |
Putra |
"NOOOOOO! A GIANT SNAKE APPEAREED!" |
Yoshino |
"Oooooh- hebi rotation!" |
Queensway |
"So this is the strong enemy Queenrose was talking about! Everyone, get ready to engage!" |
Queensway |
"No way we will lose. Sir Conductor, please lend us your powers!" |
