Woking	"--Please stay behind me, Miss President."
In response to Paddington's warning, Woking retrieved a spear from the shadows and held it up. Not only can she move between shadows, she can also get her weapon out whenever too?
Woking	"Hmph... This is my ninpo, 'Kagewari'. I will be you protector, President."
Columbia	"Why do you sometimes sound like a ninja? What kind of roleplay is that?"
Woking	"It seems that the source of the Nishikese who became my 'raw ingredient' are of the Tsukiyo Banshuu - it seems they were the so-called ninja. My blood tingles sometimes, or my ninja genes were activated."
Conductor	Come to think of it, it's rare for a beastkin to be in St. Iris, Woking. Do you have parents who were Nisikese, or is your blood mixed with theirs?
Woking	"I can't really call them parents, merely raw ingredients. After all, recruits born from the Messiah Project are artificial beings cultured in a test tube."
Columbia	"Yes. We had to establish our own identity because our parents doesn't exist. Is that what your strange characterization is about - Woking?"
Columbia	"Because no one told you what you should be, you ended up envisioning and embodying your ideal self. You like vehicles and ninjas, which is why you became such a character."
Woking	"Yeah. And when you found out about my abilities, Miss President, you said, 'You look like a ninja', so I went with it... I thought maybe that's the kind of a character you want."
Columbia	"Hah, that's a cute thing to say. You wanted me to like you, didn't you, my sweet?"
Woking	"I mean, I was afraid if I upset you, you'd get rid of me. So I thought I'd give you what you wanted..."
Paddington	"E-Everyone! This is a very interesting story, but I'm afraid now is not the time for idle banter!"
Columbia	"Mhm. If, indeed, the fake Mist Train had emerged as a target to be eliminated, we should respond to it, even if it means putting everything on the back burner."
Columbia	"This time though, there's no problem and we can relax. In fact, you're too panicky... See?"
Dr. Gloria	'Nya-ha-ha! Nya-ha-ha-ha! Nyaaaa~ha-ha-ha!"
A train-like vehicle approached us, Dr. Gloria was laughing high above it. It's a sight we've seen many times before. Paddington, too, lets her guard down and smiled to herself.
Paddington	"Oh, thank goodness it was the Doctor... I mean Eddie. I was getting all worked up, thinking the rumoured fake Mist Train had turned up."
Dr. Gloria	"Ah, I'm sorry to startle ya? Doctor and the goons were actually asked by Columbia to participate in the Trans-MS Race too, or something like that!
Columbia	"Yes. We were wondering why you minions arrived late, you know?"
Dr. Gloria	"Ehehehe, sorry bout that! It was a short notice and we coudn't get the Doggan Gang Train to move!"
Whisper	"Yes, yes. But there were a lot of broken cars and parts lying around here, so we picked up the scraps and put them together- And for the time being we made a train that could run for a while."
Conductor	As ever, you have amazing technical skills. How did you managed to manufacture a mobile vehicle in such a short time?
Dr. Gloria	"Well, I've made the Doggan Train so many times that my hands have learnt how to assemble it! As long as I have the materials, it won't take long to complete!"
Bright	"It was a lot of work, though! It was a really rushed job ......! This Doggan Train is working, but it's not a complete unit, but one that's only been made to look almost exactly like it!"
Dr. Gloria	"Yes!! So, well, this might not stand a chance against the real Mist Train, right?"
Conductor	The Doggan Train is a copy of the Mist Train in the first place - So we've never lost to the Doggan Train or anything like that.
Paddington	"It's not a metter of winning or losing, the Doggan Train almost always explodes every time we encounter it. Although there was a time when we were given a ride, it did run for quite a long time."
Dr. Gloria	"Yeah. That's the longest surviving one so far... Why does it explode? Big brother, why didn't you ask mum about the cause of that when you met her?"
Conductor	I am sorry. When I met our mother - Ricardo, again, I didn't have the luxury of doing so.
Dr. Gloria	"Well, it's okay, I guess? Big brother has saved our mom's soul - That has been I, the Doctor's wish ever since I came to this world."
Dr. Gloria	"I can't have any complaints about my big brother who fulfilled her wish."
Dr. Gloria	"But that's not the same thing! Today is the day I will prove that the Doggan Train is a better vehicle than the Mist Train!"
Dr. Gloria	"The Mist Train is not unique. I will demonstrate that there are other equally or even better vehicles!"
Dr. Gloria	"And so we succeed in developing a train, a dream vehicle that can run around this misty world. Once we have established that technology and mass-produced it- That will reduce the workload for my brother and mommy!"
Dr. Gloria	"I want the family I have met in this world, which I, the Doctor love so much, to live a healthy and happy life! It is absolutely wrong for the burden to fall solely on my big brother!"
Dr. Gloria	"Doctor and her goons will also help in our own small way! What big brother carried, Doctor will do so too!"
Dr. Gloria	"That's what the Doggan Train is for! It's a vehicle for the new era, piercing through the Mist of illusion! Hmm～hmm♪"
Paddington	"...She's a really good girl, she is♪"
Conductor	Yes, she is. My sister's too good a sister for her own good.
Whisper	"Excuse me~ sorry to interrupt the excitement, but..."
Whisper	"There's been smoke coming out of the engine room of the Doggan Train since a few minutes ago."
Dr. Gloria	"What? What?"
Bright	"Hmm. I knew it was too much for you to do in a hurry. The Doggan Train has reached its limits much quicker than the usual."
Dr. Gloria	'What? No! Doctor will make a vehicle more superior than the Mist Train and reduce big brother's burden--"
Whisper	"Even if you say 'no', reality doesn't always work out the way you want it to, Glorin♪"
Bright	"Mhm! But everything is an experience! By repeating the same accident over and over again, we've learned to spot the signs of an explosion before it happens! This way we can escape unharmed, without being caught in the explosion!"
Whisper	"Yep yep♪ Look on the bright side~, tomorrow will be better than today!"
Dr. Gloria	"I don't wannaaaaaa! Why!? Why did it explode? It's inexcusable, what are we missing?"
*BOOM*
Whisper and Bright leapt high into the air, and carried away the teary Dr. Gloria who was tearily writhing left and right. The Doggan Train exploded with a loud bang at the same time.
Dr. Gloria	"Kyaaaaaah! Noooo! I worked so hard to assemble iiiit, I thought it worked this timeeee!"
Woking	"--Anyway, we'd better get going too."
Columbia	"Yes. I know I said we can win the race no matter how late we start, but there are no absolutes in this world. We can't afford to take too long."
Paddington	"Um, what's going on right now...?"
Paddington looked between Columbia and the others, who were out of their combat stance and returning to the Mist Train, and at the crying Doctor, and let out a a bewildered sigh.
