| Verforet, the Country of Deep Green and Magic. In this country where elves and humans have coexisted since time immemorial, the two races brought their wisdom and technology together and developed a diverse culture. | ||
| The best example of this are the ancient ruins scattered throughout Verforet. | ||
| This time, we, the Special Steel Squad, visited a forest area in the eastern parts of Verforet. We received a very interesting report from two Train Knights, experts in the ruins of this forest, that "we have discovered some ruins of steel", so we came here to investigate. | ||
 Vivienne |
"Gather around, everyone. I'm going to start briefing you all on the mission." | |
|---|---|---|
| Vivienne |
"Our mission this time is to investigate a newly discovered archaeological site. Fortunately, the first discoverers are Train Knights from the SSS. In coordination with the Gendarmerie, we were able to quickly secure the site. We have a garrison posted in this forest area, so we should be able to focus on the investigation." | |
 Putra |
"Vivienne seems more eager than usual today." | |
 Queensway |
"Miss Vivienne is leading the core of this operation, you know. The Verforet Gendarmerie seems to be paying a lot of attention to her, so I think she's facing a lot of pressure." | |
| Queensway |
"The discovery of the site is quite important for the Verforet Gendarmerie. I hear that the upper echelons are in an uproar. As soon as we of the SSS have finished our investigations, the Gendarmerie's survey team and archaeologists will also examine the site." | |
| Putra |
"Well, there's absolutely no chance that the Ruins of Steel is normal. I think they will be the ones doing the serious investigation of the ruins. Our role is less about investigatations, more so to just ensure safety inside the ruins..." | |
| Vivienne |
"Before I start explaining the precautions, I will read out the report by the first discoverer. All members of this survey team should know the situation at the time of discovery." | |
| Vivienne |
"Let's see..." | |
| Vivienne |
"Alas, reacting to my sacred powers, what that has emerged from beneath the grounds of Verforet is undoubtedly the... S-Sacred Holy Power? The Sacred Holy Power has thus enveloped the Ruins of Steel..." | |
| Vivienne |
"The moment I opened this door of rock forged with greyness, eternal darkness awaited to embrace me. The path of death leading to the abyss shall be paved upon the presence of arcane arts." | |
| Vivienne |
"But I am the one without such arcane arts. It is nigh impossible for me to set foot towards the path of death. The Holy Angel Saint-Sever also advised within me: 'Do not go'." | |
| Vivienne |
"......" | |
| Vivienne |
"Uh, what the heck is this report, it's like an adventure novel. What exactly is a door of rock forged with greyness?" | |
| Putra |
"......" | |
| Queensway |
"......" | |
| Queensway |
"Ver-Verforench dialect? I didn't quite understand what it meant..." | |
| Putra |
"Vivienne, can you translate all that for me?" | |
| Vivienne |
"You see that little fort made of stone over there? The report's saying that's the entrance to the ruins." | |
| Vivienne |
"When she went inside, she found the Ruins of Steel, but she didn't want to go too deep because it looked dangerous. I think that's what she meant. By the way, this is no Verforench dialect. It's just common language." | |
 Yoshino |
"A door of rock forged with greyness... This sentence is so wordy." | |
| Yoshino |
"To Yoshino, it looks like a tochka. What do you think, Yakky-tan?" | |
 Yakutsk |
"I think it looks like a tochka too. And don't casually call me 'Yakky-tan'." | |
| Yoshino |
"Oooooh- Thought it was sneaked in well, but you caught it." | |
| Yakutsk |
"That's no ruins or anything. It's a pillbox of a military fortress. Isn't this some kind of a weird underground fortress that the Verforet Gendarmerie was building in secret?" | |
| Vivienne |
"If these were found near the border with Eisengrad, I too would have the same doubts. They say there were a lot of unofficial units on the Northern Front..." | |
| Vivienne |
"But this is a safe zone where civilians are allowed to enter, you know? You can't build a military fortress in a place where children who have just learnt to shoot a bow are doing their hunting practice. It's not the kind of place where you can build a fortress without anyone noticing." | |
| Vivienne |
"...And if it's just a military fortress, it wouldn't suddenly appear out of the ground and spit Mist, would it?" | |
| Conductor |
Yes. The Ruins of Steel discovered this time suddenly appear in a previously cleared area, and Phantom Mist is generated from the entrance to the ruins. | |
| Conductor |
It is not unusual for Phantom Mist to appear on ruins and abandoned buildings, but it is not often that such a huge structure like ruins would pop out of nothing. | |
| Vivienne |
"My senses that it appeared with the Mist... is strong." | |
| Queensway |
"There must be a source of Phantom Mist in the ruins. It is similar in nature to the Koutetsu Ningyou we've encountered in Nishiki." | |
| Yakutsk |
"The worst thing would be if the entire ruins was the source of the Phantom Mist. Well, we only saw the entrance, but according to that weird report, the ruins extend underground, don't they?" | |
| Vivienne |
"Oui, we don't know what's going on inside the ruins, and if we go underground, our escape routes are limited. That's why we need helpers who are used to exploring the ruins." | |
| Vivienne |
"That's why I'm asking the two archaeological enthusiasts who were the first to discover the ruins to accompany us on this mission. They are a bit peculiar, but they are the best at getting into and out of ruins." | |
| Queensway |
"But I don't see them. The rendezvous point should be around here..." | |
| Vivienne |
"They're both supposed to be on their way here from their Gendarmerie stations, so maybe they've encountered some Phantom Mist and are running late." | |
| Vivienne |
"I can't believe that such thick Phantom Mist can occur in this forest. It used to be a nice playground for children..." | |
| Putra |
"What an out-of-character thing to say from you! Let's clean it up and put it back where it belongs, where it's safe! That's why we're here, isn't it?" | |
| Vivienne |
"Putra..." | |
| Vivienne |
"You're right. I shouldn't be the one making everyone feel insecure!" | |
 Paddington |
"Hawawa, I asked Vivienne to let me explain too, but she said everything already..." | |
| Paddington |
"Anyway, this time we're on a mission to investigate the mysterious ruins found in Verforet!" | |
