Amiya?

Dr. Kal'tsit...

Mister Wei, I would like to add one more clause to the agreement...

'Any interpretation of the clauses must be agreed upon by both parties.' Is this acceptable?

Oh... Of course. I can see your respect to Lungmen, Miss Amiya.

Madam Ch'en, do you have any objections?

... I accept this operation.

Hah.

It seems like Madam Ch'en also has her own goal now.

In any case, congratulations. You've earned Lungmen's trust. Madam Ch'en will be responsible for your arrangements.

However, be aware that the Infected are not allowed to freely move around within the city, as that may cause panic.

I hope that you will defer to the L.G.D.'s orders while carrying out your duties.

Especially, Madam Ch'en's orders.

Lungmen will be open to Rhodes Island, as long as your actions are in line with us.

Phew... Ugh...! That man was so difficult...

He was so methodical when he spoke, and it felt like he couldn't be swayed by anything...

Amiya, you'll eventually have to learn how to deal with these people yourself.

But in the end, you did a great job.

Ehehe...

By the way...

You...

Do I know you, Kal'tsit?;...Hello, Dr. Kal'tsit.;Please to meet you, Dr. Kal'tsit.

Dr. Kal'tsit, please don't give Dr. {@nickname} a hard time...

*inhales sharply*...

Haah...

I hope our sacrifices... weren't in vain.

Hello, Dr. {@nickname}.

Welcome back.

第十五关（前）

Hurry, hide!

I... I need to go.

Take this... this is for you.

This is a protective charm. My mother taught me how to make these...

And this is one that I made.

When you make these dolls by hand, you can keep the ones you care about safe.

Okay, sister Misha, we'll take good care of it!

Good, good.

Now, go hide! And don't make a sound.

Okay!

Where'd they go? ! After them! Let's see how far those Infected can run!

Hmm? Now... what do we have here?

According to Exusiai's data, our mission target should have been staying somewhere around here...

Argh, the terrain around here is really complicated. If we were doing this alone, this assignment might have been quite troublesome...

Luckily, I got in touch with Penguin Logistics beforehand...

...Who's there?

Those people are...!

Baddies! You bunch of baddies! Let go of me! Let... Go...!

Tell me! Where'd she run off to?

Stop playing dumb!

Sister! Sister! Where are you...! Help...

Sister Misha! Sister Misha, save me!!

Who is it?

Get back here!

...You should leave right now if you know what's good for you.

Who the hell...?!

You don't like you're from around here!

You're not afraid of us...

Otherwise...

Huh?

Gaaah!!

Wh-what was that?

Arts! Sh-she's using Arts?!

Aaaargh! Stay away from me!

...Don't bully the defenseless ever again.

Aaaagh! Monster!

Heh... Monster, huh?

Everything will be okay. You can come out now.

It's dangerous here. You should hurry and find some place safe.

Thank you, ma'am!

Take care!

Amiya, what's going on?

Hm, I saw an Infected just now, probably unregistered...

From Ursus?

Yes. She was heading deeper into the slums.

Franka, gather the nearby operators.

Okay.

The deeper we head into the slums, the more volatile things are going to be...

There are ordinary civilians, criminals, and refugees - all mixed together.

We'll have to make thorough preparations.

Amiya, we have incoming comms.

Please wait a second.

That's right.

Amiya, it's the L.G.D.

Was that Madam Ch'en?

Indeed.

... That's right. We've already found a number of unregistered Infected.

... Yes.

... What?

... We're after an Ursus girl, short white hair, height of about 145 cm, called Misha?

That's...?

...Understood.

Amiya, Madam Ch'en wants us to immediately search for the Infected just described.

Once we find her, we are to turn her in to the L.G.D. immediately.

Can I speak to her please?

Hello, hello...

Madam Ch'en, can you hear me?

I hear you.

Can I confirm the validity of that order?

100% valid, effective immediately.

I see.
