Leaving me unable to understand a single thing, the situation escalated at a furious pace. |

"Conductor, stand back! Another one - eh, damn it, it's a pincer movement!?" |
Fussen, who had been leading me, stopped suddenly and stood with her whip ready to protect me. In fact, we are now sandwiched between a dangerous-looking, assassin-like woman in the rear and an unidentified steel giant in the front - a suspicious-looking pair. |

"Ah Bright, where have you been!? Don't leave me alone in a strange place, I'm lonely you know!?" |
![Story Bright.png](/images/c/cd/Story_Bright.png) Bright |
"You're wasting our time, Whisper! You're a fool playing around aimlessly and forgetting what we're here for, it's obvious! I am a supreme golem, always faithful to my Master, and I will fulfil my purpose!" |
![Story Bright.png](/images/c/cd/Story_Bright.png) Bright |
"Behold! For I have rescued our master, Dr. Gloria, the boss of the Doggan Gang! No matter where she's taken, they can't fool my magic detection radar!" |

"........." |
The steel giant named Bright proudly held up his arms, and indeed he has Dr. Gloria safely secured. She seems to be still unconscious, eyes closed and not reacting. |
![Story Whisper.png](/images/6/6c/Story_Whisper.png) Whisper |
"Oh, you're doing what you're supposed to do, hunking clanker! This is out of the norm, it's going to rain tomorrow! What to do? I still have so much unwashed laundry you know?" |
![Story Whisper.png](/images/6/6c/Story_Whisper.png) Whisper |
"Naheheh, that's alright. We've done what we came for - let's retreat the Hell out of here♪" |
While we were distracted by the steel giant, the creepy woman named Whisper acted. She suddenly countless daggers - and threw all of them 'simultaneously' at everyone else except Dr. Gloria and Bright, holding her. |
![Story Whisper.png](/images/6/6c/Story_Whisper.png) Whisper |
"I'd still like to play with you all, though! It's no fun if you died while we're playing, so take care!" |
![Story Leipzig.png](/images/e/e6/Story_Leipzig.png) Leipzig |
".........!" |
Her throw is tremendously fast. Only Leipzig, a supremely well-trained soldier, was able to react. Even she had to use her own body as a shield to forcefully stop some daggers from hitting us. |

"Ugh, uGhg...!" |
![Story Karlsruhe.png](/images/8/87/Story_Karlsruhe.png) Karlsruhe |
"--Leipzig!? Are you okay!? You're always this reckless, stop doing this!" |
Karlsruhe turned unusually pale and rushed over to Leipzig, who's bleeding from a dagger that thrusted through her body. As she does so, Whisper 'slithered' away like liquid. |
![Story Whisper.png](/images/6/6c/Story_Whisper.png) Whisper |
"Well, that's enough for today!" |
She passed right next to Leipzig, crouching in pain and bleeding, and Karlsruhe, leaning against her - Whisper easily leapt over our heads in a three-pronged maneuver, using the walls and ceiling as scaffolds. |
Joining Bright, Whisper waved her hands innocently, not even wiping the blood from her face. |
![Story Whisper.png](/images/6/6c/Story_Whisper.png) Whisper |
"Buh-bye~! See you again yeah, all of you SSS♪" |
![Story Fussen.png](/images/6/65/Story_Fussen.png) Fussen |
"--HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! Know that no louts who has gone rogue in my territory of Eisengrad can ever return home without a scratch on their bodies!" |
Fussen, perhaps displeased at having someone crossing over her head, swung her whip angrily. But - for some reason, the trajectory of her strike was unnaturally distorted and the whip did not reach the enemy. |
![Story Bright.png](/images/c/cd/Story_Bright.png) Bright |
"Wahahahah, that kind of strike won't break my barrier! Whisper, stop wasting time with your farewell liners and let's run, for our Master's life is our top priority right now!" |
![Story Fussen.png](/images/6/65/Story_Fussen.png) Fussen |
"What is this...? How did you prevent my attack -- it didn't look like a magical barrier at all?" |
Not responding to Fussen's questioning, Bright suddenly sprouted steel wings from his back. The machine roared to life - he embraced Whisper who joined him and he kicked the floor. |
![Story Bright.png](/images/c/cd/Story_Bright.png) Bright |
"Farewell! The SSS is my Master's enemy, which means you are also my sworn enemy! The next time we meet, not a single piece of your life will be left on earth!" |
![Story Whisper.png](/images/6/6c/Story_Whisper.png) Whisper |
"Awww~~ no fair! You cheat, you cheat, Bright's cheating! You warned me not to dish out one, and then you're just saying farewell to them in your own silly way~♪" |
![Story Bright.png](/images/c/cd/Story_Bright.png) Bright |
"That's why I've said you're annoyingly exuberant! Can't you live without keeping your trap shut for a few seconds!?" |
Bright floated unnaturally in the air while they exchanged some friendly banter. They flew away - the strange ones punched boldly through the ceiling of the base and disappear into the night sky of Eisengrad. |
