Islington	"Dear Sister Farringdon. I understand your age and your haste to get married, but why are you thinking of getting married at this time? You must have a very good reason to get engaged before the decisive battle, otherwise the people will not understand you."
Farringdon	"I am making this offer precisely because it is before the decisive battle. We are currently outnumbered and the Mistism cult is ahead of us. To overcome this situation, we must think ahead."
Farringdon	"Everything is to protect Iris Cloud. And with good reason."
Islington	"Iron Injection...?"
Farringdon	"Yes, exactly. I haven't even said anything, but you understood it very well. That's Islington for you; you're smart like Kingston."
Mary	"But I think it is a good idea to win the battle, Farringdon is currently the most powerful Divine Child in this world, and with your new powers, you may be able to suppress the Poison."
Mary	"Farringdon is the closest thing to a Giant Tree Guardian. If we are to deal with the Poison of the otherworlds, we will need Farringdon's power as well. It's not a bad idea to get stronger early on."
Yoshino	"It sounds like a battle for Shashou. Shashou's power is not for war."
Islington	(My my, why does she always say the truth? She shouldn't say things like that even if she knows what we're talking about.)
Islington	(Good though... say more.)
Farringdon	"I understand your concern. Lord Conductor's power is now wanted by the enemy. There are ways to abuse the injection of magic."
Farringdon	"That's why I want to use my strong power for the right thing. We ask for your cooperation in order for you, the Train Knights, to overcome the evil forces, and for us, the Divine Children, to lead the people to a world without Mist."
Farringdon	"I am not asking you to share your power unilaterally. I will give you all the power I have. And of course, my love as a wife."
Yoshino	"Ooooh, what an adult saying. Keeping a man on track."
Islington	"I think she's better at keeping a group of monsters on track."
Farringdon	"Islington, please stop finding fault at every single thing."
Farringdon	"You need to grow up. You're not going to be a good mother otherwise."
Islington	"I'm fine as I am～ Islington is always a good Divine Child and a good woman～"
Islington	"Hmm.....?"
Islington	"Huh? You said 'good mother' earlier, didn't you? A good mother... Huh? What do you mean?"
Mary	"Islington, you don't mean...?"
Vivienne	"Sh-should I say 'Congratulations'?"
Islington	"Eh?"
Islington	"I haven't done it I haven't done it yet! That's not true! No way! There shouldn't be! It can't be, right?!"
Mary	"......"
Islington	“No, I’m not! Don’t look at me like that. I’m a single aristocrat!”
Islington	"Hold it, dear sister. Don't talk to me like that in front of everyone. Since when did I become a mother?"
Farringdon	"I'm sorry. I must have spoken in the wrong order."
Islington	"No, even in the correct order I don't have either a husband or children..."
Islington	"Wait a minute... I don't think that's what you meant, but perhaps you're saying I'm with Mr. Conductor too?"
Farringdon	"That's what I meant."
Islington	"Dear Sister, seriously, what is wrong with you? I don't know what you mean."
Farringdon	"House Elrond dedicates itself to St. Iris. It is part of our duty to intermarry to protect the peace and the country of the Iridescent God. I will fulfill that duty."
Farringdon	"But it is better to leave many successors. I do not know what will happen to me. We have decided that it is necessary for Elrond House's Divine Children to all inherit Lord Conductor's power in case of emergency."
Islington	"I don't like the way you say 'we'. Does that 'we' include the bigwigs of the country?"
Farringdon	"Of course. It includes our relatives. We also have the consent of your father and mother."
Mary	(She digressed. Is she not going to tell us who on the "Royal Castle side" is included...?)
Farringdon	"I will speak to Kingston and Kensington when I return, but to you first, Islington."
Islington	"So you're just going to ignore my feelings...?"
Farringdon	"I am telling you this because of your feelings. You are just as fond of Lord Conductor as I am of Paddington."
Farringdon	"If you find another gentleman you like, you can still marry him. You and Conductor's child will ostensibly be my child..."
Islington	"Are you stupid!? You don't understand at all, sister!"
Farringdon	"Islington......"
Islington	"I am also a Divine Child. I will do whatever is necessary for the good of this country. That's how I was raised as a child and that's how I think of myself. Of course I have it in my head for political marriages."
Islington	"But don't you come out of nowhere and talk about those other bastards, do you? If we were to fight for Mr. Conductor, we'd be fighting for him, but sharing Mr. Conductor with the other Elronds? Do you really think you can save the world by doing that?"
Islington	"Why are you starting with me? Do you really want me to leave the front lines so badly...?"
Mary	"Islington, that's not like you. You need to calm down. We're all here."
Islington	"......"
Farringdon	"Why is this coming from you, Islington? I don't need to explain why, you know why yourself. Of course, it's not to take away your freedom or because I don't like you."
Farringdon	"Why do Train Knights get their powers from Lord Conductor? It is to fight Phantom Mist. It is to protect the peace of this world."
Farringdon	"You and I, as Divine Children, will only do what they do."
Farringdon	"Please listen carefully, Lord Conductor. I am not going to ask for your consent right now. But at the same time, I don't expect you to turn me down right away."
Queensway	"Sir Conductor, is that true?"
Conductor	To be honest... I understand that my marriage with Farringdon is not something I can turn down at my discretion.
Conductor	It is necessary for Iris Cloud and Iris Metro. Looking ahead, the more power we have against Phantom Mist, the Poison of the otherworlds, and other problems, the better.
Conductor	We are always fighting on the edge. If one Divine Child dies, the impact is quite significant. We also need a successor... who can run the Mist Train and who will carry on with their own blood.
Queensway	"But... It doesn't have to be now, right?"
Mary	"Queensway, this is not a matter for us to meddle in. I'll listen to what you want to say after."
Queensway	"But Mary..."
Mary	"That's enough. Would you behave the same way if this were the Royal Castle?"
Queensway	"No..."
Mary	"Then stay quiet behind my back."
Queensway	"......"
Mary	"Farringdon, I'm sorry, but please break up once and for all. I'm not denying what you're thinking, but I don't think we need to get everyone together right here and now to talk about it."
Mary	The people here are those who have been fighting 'in the field' all along. These are the knights who have always been by Conductor's side, protecting him. If you can't think of their feelings, you can't speak highly of yourself as a Divine Child."
Mary	"This is advice, as a close associate of Ricardo Trevithick."
Farringdon	"......"
Farringdon	"Yes, that's true. You are right. I've been demoralizing everyone because I haven't thought this through."
Farringdon	"Lord Conductor, let's talk about this in the future. And Islington, you can cool down a bit. I'm sure you expected this to some extent."
Islington	"......"
