第三十二关（前）

*cough* *cough*...

Meteorite! We've managed to push the Yeti Squadron back!

But...

I seem to have underestimated you, Rhodes Island.

Perhaps I held back a bit too much.

(I can't feel my fingers anymore... Damn it...)

...What's going on...?

The cold current... is still gathering around her?

This time...

You won't be so lucky.

Oh no...!

Is she trying to absorb all the ice surrounding us and release it at once? !

...She's going to drain all the heat from our bodies!

These Arts are on a complete different scale from what we saw before...!

Let it all come to an end.

May your anger be buried by purest frost.

...Nnngh...!

Something... is stopping the cold from gathering...

...Gah...

Is this your doing?

Didn't I already tell you...

I won't let you... come any closer...!

...Did you disrupt my cold current using your own Arts?

...What a good kid.

Frostleaf used her blade to sever the cold current...!

But, but... she can't hold out long in that condition!

Her blade... it's about to break!

...That's more than enough.

This is our last chance!

Amiya... now is the time!

Cover me!

Be careful!

Roger!

Starting firing - suppress Reunion's movements!

Meteorite, go!

On my way...!

What?! The enemy is... rushing towards us?

No, she's... she's going straight towards FrostNova?!

As if we'd let you!

Fire!

Agh...!

Meteorite!!

Don't worry, it wasn't a direct hit!

She, she's still able to run?!

Damn it!

I told you! You'll never reach the Yetis!

Keep firing! Don't give her an opening!

...Oh no!

Gaah...!

Nooo!! She... she was hit... It can't be...

...It's just a scratch! You'll have to do better than that if you want to stop me!!

More... I need to do more...

*cough* *cough*...

(The flow of the cold air... fluctuated for a moment?)

Wait... Where is that flow coming from...

I know this feeling...!

Could it be...?!

I'll just have to give this a try!

I have to hit it...!

Everyone, believe in me!

Rhodes Island's leader...

She shattered the Originium we planted with her Arts?

It's getting hazy...

I knew it! FrostNova created that cold current by planting Originium!

Meteorite!! Now's your chance!

Frostleaf...

I... I promise to save you!!

So, wait for me...

Please wait for me!

Wake up!

Nnh...?

I've got you!

Who...

Up here! Quick! Hold on to me!

Meteo...rite?

Who said you could play the hero?!

Do you think I could just sit there and watch you die?

Put me down... I'm not... some pet...

I won't let go of you!

Amiya! Jessica!!

...All right!

Everyone, let's get out of here!

Meteorite, go ahead with Frostleaf. I'll cover your retreat!

Understood!

...Gah...

Haah... Haah...

Frostleaf... hang in there...!

Don't die... don't you dare die on me!!

Don't worry... you can't get rid of me that easily...

Jeez, both you and Amiya too! Why do both of you have to be like this?!

No matter how strong you might be... you're both just kids after all!

You're still treating me like a kid...?

...If I could save all of you by giving up my life, I think that's a pretty good deal.

You... Mark my words! If you ever try to do something like this again...

If you ever... I'd...

*sigh*... Sorry.

Start running, Meteorite.

Don't... look back...!

Hurry! Just go!!
