"It's been running for a while, but Paddington is nowhere to be seen..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I think she's getting further and further away from us, because Paddington-san was moving pretty fast." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"That doesn't mean we can go any faster. We have to be just fast enough to stop at any time." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"We could accidentally hit Paddington-san and kill her." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Ah, yes... That's true..." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"You know, Miyako, you should at least sugarcoat your words sometimes when you say things like this..." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"BRAKE! EMERGENCY STOP!" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"WHOA!? WHAT!? DID WE HIT PADDINGTON!?" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"We didn't run over her, but we almost did!" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"We found Paddington! She's lying on the tracks! Nice one, Putra! That was really close!" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"M-My heart almost stopped before the train did..." |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"There is no Mist in the tunnel. Let's go rescue her now!" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Paddington! Are you alive!?" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"...Mmm." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"She's breathing." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Paddington! Hey, Paddington, wake up!" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Mmmh... No, Victoria. That's not seaweed..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"She's also conscious." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"She's back to her usual Paddington self." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Ehehe, stop that, Victoria... If you break that, King's Cross will be furious with you..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I'll wake her up." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yoroshiku douzo." |
Paddington |
"GYAAAAAAAH!" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Hawawa? Where am I? Where is that giant scary doll...?" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Ah, thank you all for your hard work." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Oh, that's right, that's right. I was at the Flamarine marine station on our mission today. I've probably been taken over by something weird." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"You sure remember it well for a deranged woman." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"And you know exactly what's going on." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Miyako, what did you do to Paddington?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I used sorcery on her." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"......Be more specific." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"She experienced what are generally known as 'nightmares', for about ten days while bound by a set of golden shackles." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Are ya a bloody demon!? Or do ya have a grudge against Paddington!?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Sei Yakky-tan, Miyako used that technique for a good reason." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Paddington had suffered severe damage to her psyche. That's why she chose to use a more violent method to return her back." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Right, Miyako?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Yes. That's right, Yoshino-chan." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"...That's why, I have a valid reason. I am not a demon and I have nothing against Paddington-san." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"I-I'm sorry. I apologise." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"But... If I ever find myself in a similar situation, please don't give me scary dreams." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I'll remember that." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"More importantly, what exactly is this place? I think I can see something vague over there?" |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"It's hard to see with just the lights of the train." |
Versailles |
"Everybody, take a look at this." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"It's a turntable. It's a bit different in shape to the one on land." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Which way will it go when it switches? Straight ahead? Or will it turn?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"As far as the turnouts are concerned, if you want to go straight, keep going. If you want to change direction, you can switch." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"......" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Before that everybody, can something important be addressed to you all?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"Please do." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Isn't this the exit of the tunnel? If the tunnel is still going on, shouldn't we be able to see something vague on the other side?" |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"I suppose you're right." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Wasn't Miss Paddington just lying at the exit of the tunnel earlier?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Sei sei. That's not what happened, Queensway-kun." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"How can you 'collapse' at the exit of a tunnel? We're in the middle of the ocean, remember?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Ah..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"I-I'll have you know that I'm not that heavy!?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"That's not the point." |
![Story Yakutsk.png](/images/b/b6/Story_Yakutsk.png) Yakutsk |
"The gravity here is the same as on earth. There is also air. So why is it surrounded by water...?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"This is a powerful barrier. We can't see it, but it creates a space in the water that is the same as on the ground." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Is it the same principle as the Underwater Temple? There shouldn't be more than a few like it..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"We don't know what principle the Underwater Temple is built on, but since the train stopped, magic power has been gathering in this place. This is not the magic of the objects in Paddington-san's body." |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"It's Phantom Mist." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Only in this space can Phantom Mist manifest. Naturally, Mist Monsters are also born." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Then, did the monsters from earlier come up from here?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"If Phantom Mist is generated in this space, then that is the most likely possibility." |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"I'm sure that the demons escaped from this space in some way and came up to the sea." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"If that's the case, then the monsters that sank may be here." |
![Story Versailles.png](/images/b/be/Story_Versailles.png) Versailles |
"I think so too. We should investigate this region as the source of the Phantom Mist outbreak." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"It made sense to come here." |
![Story Vivienne.png](/images/8/89/Story_Vivienne.png) Vivienne |
"Isn't that right, Putra?" |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Yes, it did." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Let's switch points. We're going for the 'something' that we can faintly see over there!" |
After passing through a long underwater tunnel, the Special Steel Squad went straight to the bottom of the sea. Over there, gravity was the same as on the surface and we could breathe. |
What on earth is this space? Did Paddington stop here to guide us to this junction...? |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"I'll switch then." |
Putra placed her hand on the manually operated rut, gave it a quick squeeze. |
- And switched the railway track running along the seabed. |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"This is..." |
At the same time as she operated the rut, the underwater region was lit up. |
What appeared in front of us... was a city. |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"Underwater city..." |
![Story Putra.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Putra.png) Putra |
"I've only heard of this kind of thing in fairy tales..." |
