Глава 14

I... I'm okay.

What... what happened to you just now?

What? I was just saving your skin.

(Low growling)

Little monster, you remember these people, don't you?

Ghosts that should have died a long time ago...

(Angry roar)

...Should have died a long time ago?;Do you know these... ghosts?

You don't know them?

Should... should I?;You look so calm that you're starting to scare me.

Ha. You better be telling the truth.

I don't know if this is one of the revenant's tricks...

And I don't think it's a coincidence that he appears on this ship which carries Her Highness—

But he's dead.

I doubt it's that simple...;I feel like there's going to be more...

The more the merrier.

This mission is getting more and more interesting.

Let's go. This way?

Yes, this way.;No, that way.

You go first.

No need to worry. This little monster goes with you.

I have to keep you in my field of view in order to react in time.

...;...Alright.

It's not that hard, is it, working with me?

The corridor smells of death. The silence is revolting.

She does not need anyone to tell her that they are getting closer to the revenant's core.

Why would Her Highness be in a place like this?

Will Her Highness be there?

Will Her Highness remember me?

She has many questions, but thinking about it serves only to stifle her excitement.

She cannot let Theresa see her down and depressed...

Theresa always told her she looks best when she is smiling. She remembers—

Hey, bastards. I was just thinking of you.

You shall not pass.

You shall not pass...

Go no further.

Don't stop, {@nickname}.

What we're looking for must be waiting at the end of the corridor.

Just grab on to little monster and don't think about anything else.

I guarantee you they'll all turn to ash before they can touch you.

There's only so much you can do on your own.

(Angry roar)

I'm fine, Mon3tr!

Buy me some time, W! I have an idea!

I'm not the bunny! I don't need you to tell me what to do!

You need to do something, do it. Skip the talk.

...I trust you.;Alright, I'll keep going.

Deal with the Doctor.

Did you really think I was just going to leave the dumbass alone?

Have you spent so much time with the revenant that you've gone crazy too?

I left him a bunch of nice things.

Close your eyes, {@nickname}—

Bam!

Ouch... I knew it!;You left a 'Plan B' on me...

Don't praise me. I was going to give the old hag a surprise when we met up. Now it's all wasted.

Look out.

Here's some more good stuff!

I've lit up every corner for you. Time to go to hell—

Still no use? Guess we'll have to do this the hard way.

(Answers excitedly)

Just keep the Doctor alive.

(Complaining growl)

Ghosts continue to emerge from the darkness at the end of the corridor. There seems to be no end to it.

One after another, no fear of death.

Just like back then—

Who helped you?

She gets no answer.

This endless corridor is filled with the bodies of the perpetrators, but why could she not find out how this betrayal happened?

She is sure that the answer is here.

Here in Babel, amidst the seemingly unremarkable mission logs of PRTS.

Perhaps... it's just at the end of the corridor.

Here...

Here... beneath these bodies...

Did you come back to help...? Go save Her Highness...

What are you doing here...?

I tried to protect Her Highness, but someone knocked me out.

Did we save her?

You saw the assassins?

The defense systems went offline all of a sudden. Then enemies rushed in...

My team and I tried to protect Her Highness—

Are these your teammates? They're dead.

But you're alive.

Her Highness is dead.

Protect Her Highness. Hah.

You can 'protect Her Highness' with this grenade.

She holds back the urge. If only she had stayed here.

Would it have changed anything?

She steps over a body and continues down the corridor.

She hears no explosion from behind her.

Trash. Coward.

She arrives at the Speaker's Office to find the bodies of assassins piled outside the door. She does not want to go any further.

Who is she to mourn Theresa when she has not killed the traitors?

In her heart, she already has the answer to who was behind all this.

The one who led the assassins, stood here, and led death to Theresa.

She would confront that one, once she has killed everyone who participated in the deed.

It would be her last target...

It's time to go, W!;The door's open! We're going in!

...You—

She looks at you.

You stand in the darkness at the end of the corridor.
