Are you Infected all idiots? Look how many bows we have aimed at you.

Wild Mane Knight, you should be dead several days by now. Good on you, though. You still have the chance to play hero today.

Now run. I don't want this hunt to end on a such a boring note. Let's kill some time together.

Hah, you seem to be mistaken.

Do I look like the kind of gal who hides in the shadows?

You look like the kind who's getting herself killed.

*Spit*. We Infected are sick of toiling our miserable lives away like that!

You're just a bunch of despicable bastards hiding behind the K.G.C.C., doing all kinds of shady business. Every one of us living out in the open is stronger than you!

Remember their faces!

Remember... These knights... These Kazimierzians... These cold-blooded murderers...

Don't let them get away with it!

Armorless scum...

Have you ever fought a gloompincer on the brink of death? Do you know how a dying, cornered animal fights?

You're too full of yourself.

I may die, but that doesn't mean I'll lose. And you. You'll pay your dues right here.

Then... My friends will...

Look at you. No fear of death on your face. You don't want to live, yet you still want to win. Ridiculous.

The blue Armorless Union operative takes out an arrow from behind.

Come.

You're going to use that arrow as a blade? What, you looking down on me?

Of course.

You little...

Urgh—!

So that's the speed you Kuranta are so proud of?

Don't underestimate me—

Hraaagh––!!

Don't be such a crybaby. I made sure not to kill you.

Now let me see how much blood you have to spill.

After I've painted the entire street with it, the Infected hiding in the dark will probably stop resisting?

Um, Lazurite, she is Infected though...

If you're worried about catching it, you should look for a new job.

Once death calms her down, it'll be much easier to deal with the resisting Infected.

It's been a while since I heard from Justyna...

Maybe she ran into some kind of trouble?

Either way, there's five minutes till our ambush.

Sona should be in position by now. We just have to trust each other.

It's almost time...

Everyone, be safe...

Four minutes.

You didn't even last a few minutes.

Go on... There should be seven or eight Infected hideouts around here, though I wouldn't be surprised if they're empty by now. Search all of them, one by one.

Get... back... here...

I'm not... done yet!

I'm leaving her to you. Not worth any more of my time.

Right.

All units, prepare to fire—

Didn't I just say... I'm not done?!

—She still has the strength to fight?!

I don't want to kill too many people here...

The old and the young can go, but I'll take the heads of ten Infected knights back to keep my bosses happy.

You... You murderer!

What did you do to Iwona?!

She should probably have passed out from the blood loss by now, though it sounds like she might still be putting up a fight.

You monster—!

You should know that even if you manage to get away now, it won't vindicate you.

I'll say it again. Ten Infected knights for the lives of everyone else.

How can we trust you?! You're just a bunch of murderers, a bunch of sick bastards!

I'll count Iwona... Just the lives of nine more knights.

You—

Are you sure you can win?

I...

Never mind, then... It'll be faster if I do it myself.

Now what's the rush?

If you want to keep your bosses happy, surely you'd want quality over quantity?

Wouldn't you agree?

Toland Cash.

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm sure I'm worth a hefty sum on the wanted posters?

If you are willing to give me your own head, then I won't need any more.

Don't taunt her, Toland! She's—

'Lazurite' Monique of the Armorless Union, am I correct?

I said it before... I don't like to be interrupted when I'm working.

If you don't plan on giving yourself up, that makes three times you've interrupted me, Toland Cash.

The injured Infected knight isn't able to see everything clearly.

By the time his eardrums react, there's a sharp clashing sound.

Phew~ You really are quick on the draw with that bowstring.

You saw it...? No, your stance... That's the swordhand of a knight.

Since when do bounty hunters have tricks like that?

Oh, don't say that. If all we knew was shooting arrows, setting up traps, pulling dirty tricks, and waiting for our prey...

Would we really be any different from the scum in the Armorless Union?

You won't dodge many more of my shots.

You sure?

Whew, that was close.

Might want to watch your step, though.

Nngh—

An explosive trap...? You're still a bounty hunter in the end...

Needless to say.

—A charge... You've received knight training?

That's it. You're helping the Nearls... so you must have something tied up with them.

This really piques my interest, but work is work. We can't waste too much time on you.

Two minutes.

Man, what a pain... There's just no catching a taxi during the Major, is there?

Excuse me, which way is the Holiday Knight Souvenir Shop?

Hey, look at the time. Let's find a restaurant and get a bite to eat first.

Will you look at that?! Our Columbian newbie is about to overwhelm Wisteria Knight once again!

Impressive speed! Now just one more—Hold on, hold on! What's going on?!

Unbelievable! A devastating accident at the very last moment! Did our newbie trip?! Come on, this is the Major! Get up!

One minute.

Do you always leave work this late, Młynar?

To what do I owe the pleasure...?

If I had known in advance, Lady Russell, I would've received you more properly.
