Location: Spring Zone - Sayaka's House

Sayaka: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!

Sayaka got out, being held hostage by a young blue haired man. The police officer had his hands and feet frozen.


???: Enough of this. I got the girl.

Sayaka: P-Please!! Help me!!

???: If any of you move, she's dead meat.

BGM: Tenmu Meteor ~ Royal Monster

However, the hostage soon saw herself being free. A black shadow jumped right into the field, attacking the young man who held her and pulling him away. When the form became visible, Sayaka knew who it was.


Sayaka: Xaizor!

Xaizor: Are you alright now?

Sayaka: Y-Yes...! T-Thanks to you and to everyone, I'm safe!

Xaizor: Good, but it's not over yet. Head back inside. We'll take care of them.

Sayaka: O-OK. Please be careful, the four of you.

Sayaka ran back inside her house. The newcomers in the battlefield faced each other.


???: Who the hell are you?

Xaizor: What does it matter to you?! What matters here is that I'm your enemy! Nothing else!

???: Sayaka called you as Xaizor... I suppose that's your name.

Xaizor: You're right. I don't need your name, so I'm going to call you as... practice doll.

???: Impertinent brat. Do you have any idea what you're up against?

Xaizor: Don't look down on me, you piece of shit.


Xaizor's scabbard reappeared as a dark aura rose around him. He drew his blade and pointed it at his foe. Scales began to cover the sword as it released a dark flame.


???: (What?! Since when they had such sort of reinforcements?!)

Xaizor: You know, I was really bored and my sister got to fight first than I could. I'm gonna enjoy every last second of dragging you to the ground.

Xaizor: Especially because you bastards are harming my friend for a second time! You're not getting away with this!!

???: Tch...!! It's just one thing after the other!

The young man raised an ice spike with a motion in order to attack Xaizor. He evades it with a backstep and rushes in to close the distance.

???: The hell?!

Xaizor: Eat dirt!!

He tries to hit Xaizor with a punch, but the attack is evaded. Taking the window of opportunity, Xaizor slashed him several times before sending him in the air. He charged his energy and sent the man away with a dark fire blast.


???: Urgh...!! How the hell can a teenager be this strong?!

Xaizor: I'm not called the Dragon Black Knight just for show. Anyway, you two should just give up. You're not gonna win this, that's for sure.

???: Shut the hell up, you cocky little weasel! I'll freeze you and break you in pieces afterwards!

Xaizor: Now that's more like it! I'm gonna have fun dismantling you!

Location: Spring Zone - Streets

Mia kept making her way back to the Winter District, still bothered that she let Azrel trick her. However, this soon went out of thought after seeing Kaori and Andorina walking by, one of them holding a gun.


Mia: Hey, hold it! What is the meaning of this?!

She went towards the two girls and immediately recognized them.


Mia: Wait, I know you... you two are my classmates, Andorina and Kaori!

Mia: Can one of you explain me why are you running openly in the rain with a gun?
BGM for all Scenes: Sudden Attack of Dire Foe

Location: Spring Zone - Lilina's House

The noises made it clear: whatever was happening outside wasn't good. This wasn't also a good time for them to stay here.


Lilina: W-What's going on?!

Masaru: We're being attacked! We need to run!

Lilina: B-But to where?! And what about Kail?!

Masaru: I don't know, but here's not a good place to stay, Lilina!
Drake: Hey, you two!!

When they looked at the window from behind them, Drake went in, already armed.


Lilina: Drake!

Drake: C'mon, let's get out of here! I'll take you all somewhere safe!

Masaru: Wait, we can't leave Sir Kail behind like this!

Lilina: It's all my fault... if it wasn't this curse living inside me...

Drake: Now's not the time for you to lament! We need to hide you and fast!

Lilina gave one last glance at the door, worried about Kail. She didn't want to leave him behind, but she had no choice other than running.


Lilina: ... It might trap us, but we have no choice other than the basement. It's the only place I can see for me to hide.

Drake: You're worried about that guy, right? I know he's going to be OK.

Lilina: I hope so... he has to be...!

Masaru: Let's go downstairs then! Hurry!

Lilina, Masaru and Drake went quickly downstairs as the fighting noises seemed to increase. They were surrounded, so the best option was to fake that Lilina could've escaped somewhere, since Drake left the window open.

Location: Spring Zone - Sayaka's House

Sayaka was terribly frightened. The memories from the day where she was almost kidnapped began to torture her again as she trembled in fear.


Sayaka: N-No... not this again... am I going to be captured, just like this?!

Sayaka: M-Miss Rosa... I'm so worried... and scared... I need to call help!

She picked her cellphone and ran immediately to her room. She locked the doors and the windows and quickly dialed Veronica's number.


Sayaka: (Please, Veronica, pick up! Please...! Please!!)

Location: Spring Zone - Intermezzo Mansion

As Veronica still watched over Bloo, her phone began to ring. It was Sayaka.


Veronica: Hi, Sayaka! How's it going-
Sayaka: V-Veronica, I'm being attacked! By the same guys from before!!

Veronica: No way! Sayaka, are you alright?!
Sayaka: I locked myself into my room, but I don't know for how long I'll stay safe!! Veronica, I need help!! I'm scared...!! I don't know what to do!!

Veronica: D-Don't worry, I'll call for help! Please, hang on tight!
Sayaka: *sob* Please, hurry!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE- *call turns off*

Veronica: Sayaka?! Sayaka!!

She tried to call her, but no response came from Sayaka. Veronica started to get desperate herself.


Veronica: (I need to call someone! Maybe Big Bro...! Wait, if he gets into this, he'll get caught! There has to be someone else...)

Veronica: (... I hate to do this, but they're my only hope...!!)

Location: Spring Zone - Alice's House

Loud thunders could be heard from the window, which seemed as if the rain would fall even stronger. Alice went to the local market, so only the brothers were at home. Soon, Marina's phone started ringing.


Marina: Marina speaking.
Veronica's Voice: Marina!! Marina!!

Marina: Veronica? Is something wrong?
Veronica's Voice: It's Sayaka!! She's being attacked!!

Marina: What?! Sayaka is being attacked?!

Upon hearing his sister, Xaizor hurried and took the phone from her hand.


Xaizor: Veronica?! What the hell happened?!
Veronica's Voice: The terrorists are attacking again!! They got Sayaka!! She just called to me right now and-

Xaizor: Then the thunder we heard earlier...!!
Veronica's Voice: I don't know what to do!! I don't want to call Big Bro or the others on this! Please, I need you to help Sayaka!!

Her desperate plea made Xaizor throw Marina's phone on the couch and he quickly went to the door.


Marina: Xaizor, where are you going?!

Xaizor: I'm going after Sayaka! I'm rescuing her before it's too late!

Marina: But Miss Rayla just said-

Xaizor: To hell with what Rayla said!! If she wants to pick a fight with me later, I don't give a damn!! I'm saving that girl and you're not stopping me!!

Not even taking an umbrella, Xaizor left to Sayaka's house. Marina looked to the window, only to see a trail of smoke rising from one of the buildings at a short distance.


Marina: Sayaka...
Location: Spring Zone - Streets

BGM: Press Garden Zone -NoteBlock Remix-

The pink-haired girl walked around a lone part of the streets, close to the Suburbs. She calmly walked along the other people in the rain. While holding her umbrella, she looked around, calm.


???: The rain may not be a lot helpful to people, but it has its wonders. At least the people don't suffer too much attacks from the thugs.

???: I guess my rounds are done. I should return to the Winter District and inform Sir Krantz about the situation.

The portal opened right next to her and Azrel soon landed at the sidewalk. His landing did quite a slightly loud splash, which made the girl notice.


Azrel: (So, this is Unitia then. I think I should begin by getting a little of information around. And a map as well.)

Azrel: (Hopefully, I wasn't found by anyone who'd deem me that suspicious.)

???: What? Hey, you!

Azrel: And I got found... wonderful.

???: You did got found! Who in the blazes are you?! How did you managed to appear like this?!

Azrel: Sorry, girlie, but I've no obligation to tell you.
???: You... don't you have a little more respect for authorities?!

Azrel: Authorities...? You don't look like one. By the by, who are you?
???: If I remember well, I asked you first!

Azrel: Sheesh, calm down, will you? Everybody's staring.

When she finally looked, people were indeed staring at her. They began to walk on their ways as her face got red.


???: O-Oh... t-they really are...

Azrel: See? Now, let's try this again. Ladies first.

???: Fine. I'm Mia Esperantio, knight of the Unitia Holy Order.


Crystalline and Pure Shield
Mia Esperantio



Mia: And you are?

Azrel: Azrel Ametrine.

Mia: Well, Ametrine, I suppose I'm taking you back with me. You're far too much of a stranger to be ignored.

Azrel: Sure, sure, I guess... lead the way then.

Mia: Good to know you obey orders. And just to make sure you're not getting away, I'm going to bind you.

Mia took her special handcuffs and went to bind Azrel. In the moment she touched him, her hand passed through him. In fact, herself went right through him.


Mia: What?

Azrel's Illusion: Oh, I forgot to mention... you fell on the oldest trick on a book. You were so convinced that I used this moment to escape.

Azrel's Illusion: Goodbye for now, officer Mia. Maybe our paths will cross again.
Mia: Hold it right there! I'm not done with you!

But in a second, the illusion finally disappeared, leaving Mia completely astonished at her failure.


Mia: Damn it, I can't believe I fell for a stupid illusion trick! How could I be so careless?!

Mia: *sigh* Best if I return to the Base. I've already done my round in here. I'll leave Sir Krantz and the others informed about the situation here.

Location: Winter District - Strange Manor

The Winter District was the shopping center and business domain of Unitia, possessing a variety of offices and shops for people to go. Of course, there are people who live there. Among the skyscrapers and the commerce, an unknown manor stood there.


???: Excuse me, young master Limil, may I come in?
Limil's Voice: Yes, come in.

BGM: Fallen Down -Reprise-

The butler went in the room. Sitting in the bed, playing with a teddy bear like a small kid, the boy looked at him.


Vestal of Fragmented Memories
Limil Diragaze



Limil: Is... something wrong?

???: No, no, young master. I just came to see if everything was fine.

Limil: Oh. Well, everything's fine. Nothing wrong happened.

???: I see. Your teacher will come soon. I have arranged the table for you both.

Limil: OK... hey, um, Mr. Zanto...?


Dutiful Guard of the Vestal
Zanto Sentrio



Zanto: Yes, young master?

Limil: Is everything OK with everyone? I mean... at the Group...

Zanto: Young master, there is no need for you to worry about them. Don't you remember the words from master?

Limil: I do, I do, but I can't help but worry. I wanted to help them all... even if it's just a bit.

Zanto: That is impossible. Remember, the master ordered you to never join them.

Limil: I know, but-

Zanto: No "but" or "however", young master. Now come along. It is time for your study.

Limil: OK... hey, when do you think I can go to school?

Zanto: A-Ah... s-soon enough, I suppose... but not too soon.

Limil: I can't wait! I heard school's so fun! I'm gonna ask the teacher about it!

Limil took off to the lounge in order to have his study. Zanto looked at the excitement, only to draw a sadness onto his face.


Zanto: (Poor child... master, for how long do you plan to shelter this boy?)

5T: Heh. You don't have to hide your enthusiasm.

5T: Well, I'll head back to my room. I've yet to access the network and see if I can reach their systems. I won't bother you anymore, so good luck with those machines. If you need any help, which I hardly think you will, just call for me.
Location: ???


Amalia: Hehehe... you needn't worry about something so frivolous as the corpses for those souls...

With a snap of her finger, Amalia made three corpses appear.


Amalia: For once, a streak of luck has hit me and I managed to find their original corpses. I will leave them under your command for now, but if anything goes haywire and someone questions who ordered them, instruct them as my agents.

Amalia: After all, since Amilia, Zeena and Isana are doing the groundwork at your name, we wouldn't wish for you to be entirely targeted, would we?

A dark hole opened once again under Amalia. She slowly descended as her image began to vanish inside it.


Amalia: Now, I'll return to my research. Finding Brongaa's reincarnation may not be sufficient, so I'll try to learn a way of recreate Ba'als. Goodbye for now, Lady Amandra.

With her goodbye, Amalia's figure vanished inside the dark hole, which closed right after that.

Location: ???

BGM: Planet Wisp Map

The space was filled with light as a single crystal orb stood upon a pedestal. A small kid looked incessantly at it, curious.


???: Would you look at that? Seems like Azura already did a move on those kids. Though I don't think that just Branding them will be enough.

???: You agree with me, right Mr. Soul Mercenary?

Another young man went in the light-filled room. He seemed rather nonchalant.


???: You're the one saying it. I don't have ways to tell you whether you're right or wrong.

???: Aww, you know me so well, don't you?

???: But to think that a god would want my services... and that he has the body of a kid.

???: Kiddy as I may look, you know my powers can actually do some little mix at destiny, right?

???: I know that, Fortuno. Your very name says it all...


Childish God of the Lucky Seven
Fortuno



???: In any case, it'd do us very well if you jumped to the point of the contract.

Fortuno: You're so mean! And here I thought you'd like to chat a little more so we could now each other!

???: I'd rather mind my words around a trickster god like you.

Fortuno: But I'm so friendly~! Why, I'd never pull some sort of black cat treachery on someone unless necessary, you know.

???: Fortuno, please...

Fortuno: Alright, alright, you win. I'll concede this time.

Fortuno turns the crystal ball off and leaps to the "ground". He walks playfully until he gets near the young man.


Fortuno: Those kids will need some... hmmm, challenging "aid", if I say so myself.

???: You want me to enter in their way, yet you wish me to help them?

Fortuno: Oh, you got it so fast! Usually people would say "Stop contradicting yourself", but you didn't! That's so neat!

???: That's because a service like this is no different from what I did under other contractors.

Fortuno: Boy, so I'm really lucky then! An expert at being a contradiction in the path of noble heroes! Way to go, me!

???: Well, other than the payment, what interests me is this Unitia world. I want to see how chaotic it is with my very eyes.

Fortuno: Wonderful! Then, let's celebrate! Close the contract and we'll be off.

Fortuno extended his hand for a handshake. This was the way they would seal the contract. The young man answered the handshake as a four-leaf clover sigil appeared for a brief second.


???: Azrel Ametrine is at your service. Consider your contract signed.


Bullet Eluding the Concept of Death
Azrel Ametrine



Fortuno: Yaaaay! We closed the contract~!

Azrel: If that's everything, I'll be heading down now. Gotta find a place to stay there.

Fortuno: Be careful! I'll be counting on you!

Azrel: You're talking with an afterlife professional. What do you expect?

Fortuno opened a portal and Azrel went into it, being teleported to Unitia City. The small god returned to the pedestal, where he began to watch over the ground world again.

5T: Thank you. Sorry if this took too much of your time.


5T took Conflict's Blade at his hand and gave it a short swing. Sparks came out of it for an instant but they soon stopped. The blade seemed greatly improved, in comparison to what it was before.


5T: Wow, this certainly feels different from before.

5T: I'll make sure to repay your efforts. Considering your interest in technology, the data I have from the machinery at my world would be any useful to you?
Location: Spring Zone - Kaori's House

Lucent and Kaito smiled as Kaori said her "see you tomorrow", meaning she already felt comfortable. Auror, however, opened the limo's door and called them.


Auror: Alright, hop on. We'll drop Ted first since his house is kinda closer from here and you guys from the Orphanage later.

Lucent: (Someone's in a hurry...)

Kaito: I'm going in first then.

Location: World Crossers Guild - Underground Laboratory

The door opened and 5T went in. He silently closed the door, though it still made an echoing noise. As he kept going downstairs, Touko reaches his sight. She seemed heavily concentrated, but he still needed to confirm if everything was fine with his weaponry.


5T: Sorry to interrupt you at such important task, but I came to see if my blade's adjustments are done, Miss Touko.

Esper of Destruction and Disaster
Amalia



Amalia: Well, outside of bad news, I also brought two good news to you, Lady Amandra. First of all...

Her lantern began to shine as three flames went out of it. Those were souls Amalia has taken, in order to use them into their plan.


Amalia: I've taken the liberty to take these three souls and show them here as reinforcements. One of the belongs to an assassin princess of a now fallen empire, one belongs to a demon that once served the Overlord of the Multiversal Netherworld and the other one belongs to an angel who fell to protect his dear family.

Amalia: They are powerful warriors and I suppose they shall serve our purpose well, considering this new interference from that meddlesome Lumino and his motley crew...

Amalia had joined Amandra since they hold the same vision: the Multiverse needs to return to its prior state, where chaos ran through before the rise of countless heroes. For many millenia, she had been crystallized by the Great Seraph of the Multiversal Heaven and locked away at the far ends of space and time. It was not long before she freed herself and aimed to reduce everything no nothingness, where hope could no longer exist.


Amalia: As for the other news, this might make you even happier. I've found a way for us to destroy worlds with ease. Heheheh...

Amalia: The reincarnation of Brongaa, the Dragon of Purgatory exists. The accursed beast, whose flames can reduce a world to mere dust, has its blood running inside a human once again.
Location: Spring Zone - Kaori's House


Auror: I shall tell her that, Kaori.

Kaito: Well, seems like we're done here. Should we head back then?

Auror: I'll give you guys a ride. The car's already outside.

Lucent: R-Really...?

Auror: Sure, I don't mind it. Besides, at least it'll help you guys evade the rain.

Kaito: If you don't mind, I'll take it then.

Lucent: ... I-I'll go too...

Lilina: Maybe I spelled it wrong. Not so much emotionless... but somewhat robotic.

Masaru: He seemed pretty human to me. That's just what I think, though.

Lilina: I might be wrong... but that is what I felt from Mr. Quill... it's the perspective he seemed to show up.

Masaru: Perspective...?

Location: Spring Zone - Streets to the Guild

BGM: Copied City still playing

The rain fell, but just as he said, he wasn't being bothered by it. Human as he looked, the speed he ran wasn't something normal. Soon, the guild was in his sight. He touched his ear and spoke.


Quill: Pod, open the window of my room. I'm almost there.
Voice: Affirmative.

A window opened. Quill went into its direction and did a double jump, being able to reach it. Soaking wet, a flying machine close the window as Quill went inside a capsule.

Capsule AI: All systems checked. No apparent damages caused to system or external hardware. YoRHa unit 5T is ready to be deployed.


Survivor of a Disastrous Lie
YoRHa nÂș 5 Type Tracer


Living under the alias of Quill Rune, 5T has joined the Guild not so long ago, being present around the time of the terrorist invasion. While some members were tasked to watch over the victims, he was directly instructed to find informations about the attack, since it happened without any sort of restraint from the government.


5T: You AIs could stop referring me as a YoRHa unit.
Pod: Query: why did unit 5T return after the established hour? It is unlikely for 5T to have forgotten such rule.

5T: One of the victims suddenly collapsed. I was in the vicinity, so I checked on her before coming back.
Pod: Proposal: Unit 5T should inform this directly to Nancy and report about the collapse-

5T: Kail will report about Lilina soon. Rosa and Jerry will report about Sayaka and Kaori soon as well. My report is nothing necessary.
Pod: Understood.

5T: Pod, prepare the system of my computer. I'll try to hack in the governmental systems once again.
Pod: Affirmative. Proposal: Unit 5T shoul speak with Touko and speak about the necessary adjustments on weaponry.

5T: I'll do just that, thank you. Might say today's hello to Nancy before she comes knocking at my room and saying that I'm being too much of a loner...

While the floating machine, called by 5T as Pod, prepared the system in the computer, he left the room to see Touko. It seems she was doing something involving weapons and he wanted to see if she finished something about his sword.

BGM: Aurora of Darkness

???: Someone does seem to be in high spirits today.

A black hole appeared and a girl rose from it. Holding a lantern, she seemed calm.


???: I suppose that while you're issuing orders, you should also warn those three down there about another thing.

???: Emissaries from Lacrima are on that town. It seems one of our old "friends" didn't let it up.
Location: Spring Zone - Kaori's House

As the silence went on, it suddenly got interrupted by a cellphone ringing. When Auror looked, it was Veronica. He picked it up and turned the speaker on. It was his intention to let everyone hear her. At the very least, it would turn the mood up a little.

BGM: Inside the Castle Walls -Qumu Remix-

Veronica: Big Bro, I've been trying to reach you for ages! Didn't you see my lost calls?!

Auror: Yeah, I saw the... uh, 5 lost calls?
Veronica: Sheesh, don't leave me hanging like that! I seriously got worried!

Auror: Alright, alright, calm down, I'm perfectly fine.
Veronica: Well, now that I'm sure you're fine, how are things out there? Is Miss Kaori OK?

Auror: Sure, she's doing well. In fact, she- we all can hear you.
Veronica: Really? Oh gosh, how embarassing. And here I was, talking out loud... you need to stop doing these things on purpose!

Auror: Aside from that fact, which is absolutely true, I'm certain she knows how you were concerned.
Veronica: This isn't the best way for her to know, though... Oh! And how's Miss Andorina doing too?

Auror: Also doing fine.
Veronica: That must mean it worked! Phew, that leaves me even more calmer.

Auror: And how you are? Doing well?
Veronica: Well... I did stumble in the corridor while I was carrying Bloo, but I'm fine now.

Auror: ...

Lucent: (That's... a concerned face... is Veronica's stumble that worrisome?)
Veronica: Talking about Bloo now, he's-

Before she could finish, a loud groan was heard through the phone. It had to be from Bloo, who was just waking up.


Kaito: Whoa, that's a loud groan right there.

Lucent: Yes... loud and... uncomfortable for my ears...

Auror: Vivi, is Bloo waking up?
Veronica: He is. Hang on a second.

A *BONG* sound went through with the groaning stopping at last.

Veronica: OK, he's down now. Had to make sure he isn't going to rise so soon, so I used a frying pan.

Kaito: A frying pan?! Isn't that gonna kill him?!
Veronica: He took two kicks on that spot and survived, so I'm sure it's not that dangerous. Besides, his hand was reaching my body.

Lucent: A perverted dream to a pervert... that itself not being a good thing...

Auror: Nothing short of deserved. I'm not even worried.
Veronica: Seriously... and he has the looks, but his personality is just... ugh, I find it so gross.
Auror: But I have to admit, that sort of reaction was something I'd believe coming from Rayla or Tiane... but from Marina herself...
Veronica: It's not very befitting of a person who's a pr-

Auror: Uh, Vivi?!
Veronica: Pr...eetty elegant like her, right?

Lucent: T-True... (That was so close...)

Kaito: The outburst was even less expected. She badmouthed him so enraged, it seemed like she lost control.

Auror: I wondered why Xaizor backed off at the time... now I know why. Goes to show we need to mind our words around her.
Veronica: You tell me about it. In any case, everyone, I'll be going now. Sorry to bother you all in such a moment. Oh, and I hope you get better soon, Miss Kaori!

Veronica turned the call off.


Kaito: Veronica's a really nice girl, right? She may be popular and high-standing, but she worries about everyone and wants to help whenever possible.

Auror: Yeah... whenever possible.

Lucent: (... There's definitely something about Veronica that's troubling Auror. It goes beyond from the simple worrying from the older sibling.)

Quill: If that's the case, I'll leave the asking to you. I'm not even supposed to be here, let alone proposing an analysis like this. I just came up with the thought for safety since I was near and heard about Lilina collapsing.

Quill: Since I'm done here, I'll head back to the Guild. Take care of her and of yourselves too.

Masaru: W-Wait, you came without an umbrella, right? Here, I'll lend you one-

Quill: Keep it. Rain's the last thing that will bother me.

Masaru: Huh? But-

Before Masaru could ask, Quill went out on the open rain. In the next moment, Lilina went in the room.


Lilina: (The rain... won't bother him...?)

Masaru: Oh, Lilina. You're awake! Are you feeling well?

Lilina: Y-Yes, I am. Anyway, that Quill person... who was he?

Masaru: Another member of the Guild. He was in the vicinity when he heard we talk about you collapsing.

Lilina: I see. And this analysis stuff?

Masaru: I... don't get it that much, either. He seemed a little too serious about it.

Lilina: He seemed very... direct and not that friendly... though I don't feel that he's evil. Something about him seems so... emotionless.
Location: Spring Zone - Kaori's House


Lucent: (This won't be some relaxing talk, that's for sure. Everyone's just too tense with what just happened...)

Auror: ...

Kaito: I, uh... I'm gonna get cake. Be right back.

Auror: He proposed the idea, yet I feel we should keep these two out of the talk.

Lucent: That's... not happening...

Auror: I know, I know...

Location: Spring Zone - Alegretto Residence


Lilina: Ah!

Woking up, Lilina looked around, utterly confused. When she finally came to, she was back in her house.


Lilina: This place... it's my room.

Before she could think of the dream she just had, voices could be heard from the living room. She went quietly and leaned next to the wall.


Lilina: (Someone else is here?)
Masaru: Look, in my opinion, I don't think that's a good idea.

BGM: Copied City -Instrumental-


???: Never said it was. But if she collapsed, it's not safe to dismiss it as irrelevant.

Masaru: Still, doing this analysis of yours seems extreme for me. What if it's just a cold?

???: Was she feverish the moment she collapsed?

Masaru: Well... no, but-

???: Who would've thought my investigation would end up going off-track... so much to not involve in a mission which isn't mine.

Masaru: Mr. Quill...

The young man sighed. His request of doing an analysis on Lilina went ignored. Quill looked at his fellow Guild member, Kail, once more.


Quill: Kail, it's your call. As the member responsible to watch over her, what should we do about this?

Lilina: (Who is this Quill person? And what does he wish of me?)

Auror: Hey, Kaito. How many time has passed since we fell down?

Kaito: Uh... I guess... 10 minutes?

Auror: I expected one hour, but 10 minutes sound ridiculously short...

Lucent: A-At least we're... back, I... guess.

Kaito: No kidding. I seriously got desperate...

Auror: I can imagine that. I do wonder about the others since we don't have an idea where they are...

Lucent: (Hmm...)

Lucent closed his eyes for a brief moment and focused on hearing Azura. Soon, a faint sound of her voice reached his ears.


Lucent: (I can still hear Lady Azura. Faintly, but with the enough focus I might be able to...)

Kaito: Something wrong, Lucent?

Lucent: N-No, I was just... thinking.

Auror: *sigh* Well, now that we're back, should we begin with that topic or not?

The royal brothers finally got up. A quick inspection led them to see that this wasn't the Hakurei Shrine.


Marina: W-Where are we? Were we kidnapped?!

Xaizor: How come the first thing you can say is if we were kidnapped or not?

Marina: Xaizor, we must call Miss Reimu immediately and ask her to rescue us!
Alice: There will be no need for that.

BGM: Elegant Summer

Alice got into the room and observed that both of them were awake. With a tray holding two cups, her appearance made them lower their guard a little.


Alice: Oh good, you two are awake.

Marina: Umm... excuse me, but who are you?

Alice: My name is Alice Margatroid. Friend of your father's.

Xaizor: Father's... friend?

Alice: Yes. I came from Reimu's world.

Xaizor: I see... so uh...

Alice: Here, I brewed hot chocolate for the both of you.

Alice hands out the cups to Marina and Xaizor. She also gives them blankets to wrap around themselves.


Alice: I've spoken with Reimu and she said that it's best that you two rest here for today. The rain doesn't seem to be ceasing for the day.

Marina: I appreciate it, Miss Alice, but I think we are prepared to head back to the shrine.

Alice: Reimu also told me that you shouldn't go back since you fainted. She also said that she's... busy right now.

Xaizor: Busy? With what?

Alice: That I don't know. She hasn't told me, either.

Marina: I suppose we have no choice but to accept it, Xaizor. Sorry for bothering you, Miss Alice.

Xaizor: I just hope Sayaka got safe home. She was accompained, but still...
Location: Spring Zone - Kaori's House

Lucent opened his eyes. He was laying down at the ground and when he looked, Kaito was staring directly at his face.


Lucent: Ah!!

Kaito: Whoa, you finally woke up! What the hell happened?

Lucent: H-Huh... where am I...?

Kaito: At Kaori's house? You and the others suddenly fell down without a response. Your eyes were wide open and it was kinda creeping me out...

Auror got up as fast as he could, taking breaths as if he had a nightmare and woke up in fear. He looked around to see that they were back at Kaori's house


Auror: (What the hell? We're back. Was that a dream?)

Once he looked at Lucent, he confirmed it wasn't a dream: his Brand was visible.


Auror: (Wait, I can see that mark at Lucent's hand... so it did happen...)
