After successfully fighting off the monsters, Yakutsk and I decided to assess the situation.
While resting in the camp she had set up for us, my memories came back to us as we talked together - and we were able to recall the situation.
Yakutsk	"Wa-Wait a minute! Do ya think any of these make sense?"
Fussen	"Yes, I do. Who do you think I am?"
Fussen	"I am Fussen, the everlasting ruler possessing the 'Ancient Great Blood', a descendant of a royal Eisengrad bloodline, which has no equal in the world."
Yakutsk	"Sure, your ancestors may have been rulers a long time ago, but ya have no real power now! You are just another Eisengradian soldier, the same as me!"
Yakutsk	"And if you're a soldier, you should obey military rules!"
Fussen	"Hmmm. You're so lovely to look at, sadly you're so boring to talk to."
Yakutsk	"Whaaat? Who are you to say soldiers are boring, we are one!"
Conductor	...What's the fuss, Yakutsk? I can't concentrate on driving, can you keep it as quiet as possible?
Queensway	"Sir Conductor is right. What's the matter, Miss Yakutsk? It's not like you."
Vivienne	"Oui, oui, No fighting, s'il vous plaît♪"
Vivienne	"We've been stuck in the car for so long, you're probably under a lot of stress... Do you want to smell some relaxing perfume?"
Putra	"HAH~! ATAH~! LET'S GOOOOO~!"
Paddington	"Hawawa, what are you doing, Miss Putra? Don't open the train window randomly, it's a blizzard out there, okay?"
Putra	"She said we're stressed out, so I thought this would cool down everyone's tension a little...!"
Putra	"Wow, it's really snowing outside! It never snows in Flamarine, this is so fresh, and it cools down bickering heads, killing two birds with one stone♪"
Conductor	Yakutsk... As Queensway just said earlier, this really isn't like you. Why were you fighting?
Yoshino	"Oooooh. Maybe she's happy to be back home for the first time in a long time, Yoshino was also happy to return to Nishiki the other day."
Yoshino	"...Even though there were a few sad things..."
Yakutsk	"Yoshino... I'm sorry, I caused such a commotion after what happened."
Yoshino	"No, Yoshino is fine. Can get over the sad things together with my friends."
Yoshino	"That's why. Please... get along with each other and don't fight."
Yakutsk	"Hm. I understand. But just so you know, I'm didn't start the fight."
Yakutsk	"It's because Fussen suddenly started to complain, said 'I'm going to order Conductor to change our destination' or something."
Yakutsk	"It's not right to 'order' Conductor, our superior officer, to change the destination, so that's why I'm pissed off."
Fussen	"Hmph. Call me 'Lady Fussen', you're disrespectful."
Yakutsk	"That's why I said you're such a pompous ass...!"
Conductor	Chill chill... Fussen is genuinely a venerable Eisengrad royalty and aristocrat. You'll have to forgive her selfishness.
Conductor	The Eisengradian government has also sent us orders to treat her with the utmost respect.
Fussen	"See, there you go, that's an endorsement from the government, which is higher than the military. What do you still have to say about that, my klein obedient Eisengradian soldier?♪"
Yakutsk	"Gh, grrr! That's impossible, how could both the government and Conductor coddle ya like that...!"
Vivienne	"Now now... You really need to calm down, Yakutsk, you'll get wrinkles fast if you get too angry♪"
Putra	"Hey, hey! By the way, who is this uh, Fussen? Is she a queen? Usually it's just us, but we have a guest this time!"
Conductor	Ah... I haven't introduced you to her yet, as this time it was an urgent mission, so we had to leave in a hurry.
Paddington	"Hmm. This operation - 'Triumphal Return', will take place in Eisengrad's capital, in collaboration with the local government and military, so..."
Paddington	"We asked Miss Fussen, who has contacts within her home country of Eisengrad, to accompany us, correct, Conductor?"
Conductor	Yes, Fussen is also a member of the SSS, so please be nice to her... Thanks for the explanation, Paddington.
Paddington	"Hawaawa...♪ No, no, it's my duty to save you the trouble, Conductor!"
Yakutsk	"Hmph, I'm enough of a liaison with the military. Besides, Fussen... Lady Fussen is certainly respected by the government, but she is also disliked because she is so arrogant."
Yakutsk	"If this kind of problem gets in our way, even a successful mission will fail."
Fussen	"Hmph. That's a terrible thing to say, hating me this much... I don't mind. Taming a wild horse like you is a side hobby of mine♪"
Yakutsk	(Ugh... What the? I just got chills right now!)
Fussen	"Anyway. The capital of Eisengrad, where the Triumphal Return ceremony is to be held, is located quite far from our base, the academy."
Fussen	"Therefore, it will be noon tomorrow at the earliest before we reach our destination. Eisengrad has a very high incidence of Phantom Mist, so originally the plan was to let you peasants stay overnight in my territory tonight to be on the safe side, right?"
Conductor	Yes, that's right. I would not want to move the train in the middle of the night in a place I don't know very well and where visibility is poor.
Fussen	"I understand that. But dare I say... I don't mind if I accompany you, but I can't let you peasants stay within my territory."
Fussen	"You will pass through my lands and ride all night to our destination, the Eisengrad capital."
Fussen	"That's what I've come to tell you. This is an order, and I will not allow you to disobey it."
Yakutsk	"That's why! I don't like it when you say that all of a sudden, we have our own schedule!"
Conductor	Now, now... Fussen isn't saying this just because she wants to mess with us, I'm sure? Is there any reason why you would want us to do that?
Fussen	"I have my reasons, but I don't want to say it. It's fine, you will obey my orders. It's the duty of you fools to follow the ruler's wishes, isn't it?"
Yakutsk	"Mgh, MGAAAAAAAHHH~! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, WHO THE HELL DO YA THINK YOU ARE!?"
Putra	"Aiyah, the always calm Yakutsk is really pissed off...!?"
Yoshino	"Calm down, Yakutsk, hii hii fuu~ breathe, hii hii fuu~"
Paddington	"Um, everyone. I have a suggestion. There's no point in arguing at this point, and if I remember the route map correctly--"
Paddington	"If we choose the shortest route and proceed, perhaps we can reach our destination today. That way, we won't have to spend the night in Miss Fussen's territory."
Fussen	"Oh? Good, good, I've been waiting for such a proposal. It's a clever way to solve the situation while fulfilling everyone's wishes, you're a brilliant St. Iris Divine Child..."
Paddington	"Hah... I'm humbled. But the Eisengrad region is heavily regulated by the military and we don't have much access to route maps."
Queensway	"I collect route maps as a hobby. So if we combine that with Paddington's knowledge and the rest of you from Eisengrad--"
Conductor	We might be able to work out the shortest route. Let's adopt that idea. Paddington will take the lead in calculating the shortest route.
Paddington	"Affirmative, Conductor...♪ Heheheh ♪ I hope I can be useful in this way, since I can't help you in battle!"
Yoshino	"Oooooh~ Paddington's worruler hard♪ Yoshino will help too, love maruler maps and stuff!"
Putra	Then I'll be cheering for you! Fla, Fla, Flamarine♪! Ah, by the way, this is the national anthem of Flamarine! It's true, it's true!"
Vivienne	"Ahaha♪ I'll brew some nice herbal tea for you all!"
Queensway	"Hmmhmm. That's good. The awkward atmosphere is back to normal--"
Yakutsk	"......"
Queensway	"...Miss Yakutsk. You may not be happy. However, it's no use fighting with each other. Sometimes you need to swallow your bitterness."
Yakutsk	"...I know. I'm not complaining, Eisengrad soldiers shut up and follow orders."
Queensway	"Hmhmm. You've got a nice puffy face for saying that. Makes me want to pinch your cheeks, pinch pinch♪"
Yakutsk	"Unyah? Stop it, gosh! Ya changed so much, Queensway, you've succumbed into the SSS's peculiar light-heartedness!"
And so on.... Naturally, everyone returned to a harmonious atmosphere, and they got along well with the route map and calculated the shortest route.
The train ran at full speed along the shortest route we have derived...
Yes, I remember. The tracks were covered with snow - because that was a route that no one usually stopped at.
No one noticed that the line was broken. Brakes did not work on the snow-covered ground and the train derailed and lost control...
It slid down into a huge crevice that appeared in front of our eyes.
