Aidoneus Island
Kyle: Our project is cancelled!? Why!?
Lorenzo: The results of the test conducted the other day.
Kyle: …!
Lorenzo: The ODE System went out of control during the simulated battle, and 12 pilots were killed.
Lorenzo: All from friendly fire.
Kyle: Th-That’s because the vice-commander demanded that the brains of the pilots be connected to the system…!
Gigi: The pilots were not able to endure sharing the same mind, and so they rejected the system and went berserk.
Lorenzo: (Certainly, it seems the vice-commander’s personal ambitions are the direct cause…but the danger is the system itself.)
Lorenzo: (At least, at this stage.)
Jurgen: The current ODE system is not complete…there are problems to be cleared.
Jurgen: Therefore, even with such test results at this point…
Lorenzo: Professor Jurgen…are you doubting the vice-commander’s judgment?
Jurgen: Of course. My ODE System is not intended to treat the pilot as part of the mech.
Jurgen: Rather, it’s supposed to prevent the loss of human lives…
Lorenzo: …Commander Bian has decided that, from an overall standpoint, the ODE System is too dangerous to use.
Gigi: The Commander…!
Jurgen: P-Please wait! Give us one more chance!
Lorenzo: That’s enough. Your project is cancelled. New orders will soon be given to you.
*Lorenzo leaves*
Jurgen: …..
Kyle: Arrrrgh, this is some kinda sick joke! If the vice-commander hadn’t interfered, then the accident wouldn’t have happened in the first place!
Gigi: …The old man set things up perfectly.
Jurgen: Well…it’s too late…
Kyle: No way, Professor…are you just going to walk away like that!?
Jurgen: Our project is competing for funds with the vice-commander’s GEIM System. Even if we try to argue, we’ll just keep getting pushed aside.
Kyle: Then, we’ll bring the system to Isurugi–!!
Jurgen: …That’s enough, Kyle. This is a direct order from our commander.
Kyle: Tch…!
Kyle: (I can’t believe this is happening…! I just can’t believe it…!)
Elsewhere on Aidoneus
Adler: Thank you for coming, Major Tempest.
Tempest: Vice-commander, I heard that Wake Island had fallen to the Hagane…
Adler: Hm, that’s correct. Do you think Tenzan was the wrong choice?
Tempest: …No, sir.
Adler: …Commander Bian is waiting for you. You’re dismissed.
Tempest: …..
*Tempest leaves*
Adler: (From the look on his face, it seems that he doesn’t agree with the Commander’s orders…)
Adler: (I may be able to lure him over to my side…)
Egret: Adler…
Adler: Egret Feff. How’s the Earth Cradle’s progress coming?
Egret: We’re behind schedule. Bian and Maier have given priority to the moon.
Egret: Also, there’s…
Adler: Sophia Nate is opposed to using it for military purposes?
Egret: Yes. She doesn’t want the cold-sleep facility to become a DC stronghold.
Adler: Bah…she doesn’t understand how important it is to our goal of ruling the Earth…
Egret: You don’t think Bian and Maier are being aggressive enough?
Adler: No, I don’t. Attacking with minimal force is just dragging out this war.
Egret: …You say that, yet you sabotaged Jurgen’s plan for the ODE System.
Adler: Hmm…it certainly was brilliant, but it was also a hindrance to my GEIM System.
Egret: You’re certainly thorough.
Adler: That said, things must hurry.
Adler: If the Aerogaters wage an all-out invasion, we’ll surely be defeated…
Egret: That is what the Earth Cradle is for. To provide a place for the elite to survive an all-out attack…
Egret: Only then will mankind attain its full potential.
Adler: Indeed.
Egret: (Heh…too bad you won’t live to see it. You old fool…)
Aidoneus Island – Commander’s Quarters
Bian: Tempest…you’ll reorganize the units here on Aidoneus Island for the European Invasion.
Tempest: …As you wish.
Bian: …Is there something you want to say?
Tempest: Commander, please send me to the front lines.
Bian: No. You’re the right man for this job…
Bian: To lead my elite forces against the EFA and the Aerogaters.
Tempest: …Right now, the only thing that matters is my revenge against the EFA.
Tempest: …But…if you assign me to this new mission…
Bian: I know you lost your family in the Hope Incident…and you have an intense hatred for the EFA because of that.
Tempest: Then, please at least let me handle the Hagane.
Bian: …..
Tempest: That ship is advancing on Aidoneus Island. We may have the upper hand now…
Tempest: …But we shouldn’t underestimate them, unless you have a reason to let them advance on us.
Bian: Hmm…Elzam and I dismissed the Hagane…I’d like to see it with my own eyes.
Tempest: Sir…?
Bian: Let’s see how much they’ve grown as warriors…
Tempest: …..
Hagane – Bridge
Latune: …The DC use EFA mechs other than AMs, so be careful…
Kuro: Should we identify them by their ID codes?
Latune: Yes…
Shiro: Well then, what’s this AGX code for?
Latune: That’s the code for Aerogater mechs…
Rio: (…It’s unusual to see Lat talking to people other than Giado and Garnet for this long.)
Rio: (…Granted, they ARE cats.)
Tetsuya: What are you doing?
Latune: …..
Rio: Preparing enemy ID data for Kuro and Shiro.
Tetsuya: Enemy ID data?
Rio: Yes sir. The Cybuster doesn’t have DC or EFA mech data installed, so…
Tetsuya: (…Then, is it true that the Cybuster is not of this world…?)
Shiro: It’ll be much easier for us to fight with this data.
Tetsuya: ….The cats are inputting the data…s-smart cats.
Kuro: We’re not just cats, meow. We’re Familiars, guardians that protect and support Masaki.
Tetsuya: Familiars…?
Shiro: We’re Masou Kishin guardians, meow!
Tetsuya: M-Masou Kishin…?
Latune: …Essentially, animals that can communicate with humans and act as support to a chosen pilot…
Kuro: But we’re not demons or anything like that.
Latune: …I know…
Tetsuya: Guardians…Masou…K-Kishin….
Rio: *giggle* You seem uncomfortable with all this, Vice-Captain.
Tetsuya: N-No…I just never learned about this as a cadet…
Hagane – Briefing room
Ingram: So, you can’t tell me where you came from?
Masaki: Right. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you anyways.
Aya: But, how can you know that until you try…?
Masaki: …..
Aya: (Maybe he has a reason for not telling us…)
Ingram: Then, let’s try a different question. Why are you after Shu Shirakawa?
Masaki: If I don’t stop him, he’ll cause great damage to this world too.
Ingram: (…This world TOO, huh…)
Aya: You mean, like in Antarctica…?
Masaki: Right. That’s why I’m after him.
Ingram: …Shu Shirakawa is a brilliant young scientist…
Ingram: A master in EOT analysis, and the Granzon’s test pilot…
Masaki: …..
Ingram: But from what you say, it seems he has a dark side.
Masaki: (…Who’s this Ingram guy? He’s quite the enigma…)
Masaki: (I’d better be careful so that I don’t make another mistake like with Shu…)
Ingram: …..
Some time later
Ingram: How did the search go?
Aya: There was an ID match for Masaki Andoh in the federal database.
Aya: There’s no doubt that he’s Japanese…but it looks like he’s been missing for some time.
Ingram: Hmm…
Ingram: Then, he very easily could have gone to the world where the Cybuster was created…
Ingram: And then returned here with it.
Aya: A different…world?
Ingram: Yes. Since ancient times, people have believed that another world exists deep within the Earth.
Ingram: It’s been called Shangri-La, Avalon, Hades, Arcadia…to name a few examples.
Ingram: And a few years ago, Dr. Makoto Anzi of the Lost Technology Research Institute…
Ingram: Announced his theory about a void within the Earth.
Aya: Void…? So there’s a huge cavern in the center of the Earth?
Ingram: According to his theory, it’s not actually a cavern…
Ingram: But an entirely different world within the Earth, and where Masaki could possibly have come from.
Aya: (…Another world within the Earth…)
Hagane – Hangar
Shiro: Ah, Masaki. We’ve input the ID data from Lat and Rio into the Cybuster.
Kuro: We also uploaded a world map.
Masaki: Good thinking, Kuro.
Kuro: (Not that it’ll help any.)
Shiro: By the way, Masaki…you haven’t been looking well lately.
Masaki: Oh, don’t worry about me. I’m fine.
Kusuha: U-Um…
Masaki: Huh? Oh, you’re that nurse from before…
Kusuha: Yes. Kusuha Mizuha.
Masaki: So what’s up?
Kusuha: Well, Masaki, your exam results didn’t look so good…
Kusuha: So this is for you.
Masaki: What is it?
Kusuha: It’s an energy drink I made for you.
Masaki: (Energy drink…? But…that vivid color…)
Kusuha: It might look weird, but it’s really good…
Masaki: (Darn straight it looks weird…and what’s with all the pulp…?)
Shiro: Masaki, don’t be so rude, meow.
Kuro: Yeah. Kusuha made it especially for you…
Masaki: OK, OK! I’ll drink it!
Masaki: …..
Kusuha: …Well, how is it?
Masaki: …Ugh!? Uggghh…!!
Kuro: M-Masaki! You OK!?
*Perfect timing*
Kusuha: W-What’s happening!?
Hagane – Bridge
Eita: Three drop capsules are descending from space!!
Tetsuya: From space? Then, they must be…
Eita: AMs are releasing from the capsules! It’s…the United Colony Corps!
Tetsuya: Just as I thought!
Eita: Multiple AMs approaching!
Daitetsu: Battle station 1! Launch all PTs!
Chapter 13: Bian Zoldark
*UCC mechs appear*
Leona: Is this OK, chief? Our mission is to receive the new AM and provide protection for the drop squad.
Julia: …..
Leona: And we must return to space immediately after we’re done. We can’t waste time here…
Julia: I’m interested in the Hagane and the PTs Major Elzam mentioned in his report.
Julia: I want to see them with my own eyes.
Leona: But, we must rendezvous with the DC as soon as possible…
Julia: Heheh…Straight laced as always, Leona Garstein.
Julia: It must be in your blood.
Leona: …I just do what my commander orders me to.
Julia: Listen, Leona…
Julia: The Treue unit must protect Commander Maier from any threats.
Julia: So this is a great chance for us to get some experience.
Leona: …Yes, ma’am.
Rai: …That unit…it must be.
Ryusei: Rai, do you know them?
Rai: I think that’s the UCC’s elite guard…the Treue Unit.
Ryusei: Elite guard…? They must be pretty good then…
Latune: …According to our data, the Treue Unit…
Latune: Is an elite unit composed entirely of female pilots…who serve as the guard for the UCC Commander…
Giado: Yah, an all-female unit. Dat’s what I’m talkin’ about…
Garnet: Giado, what was that?
Giado: Um, uh, nothing…
Rai: (…The Treue Unit never leaves their commander. What are they doing here…?)
Tetsuya: All units, deploy!
*Prep Screen, Units deploy*
Julia: Here they come.
Leona: They’ve dispatched test models and prototypes…
Leona: Could it be they don’t have enough strength…?
Julia: Heh…I guess we’ll serve as their test subjects…for the experimental projects…
Leona: Test subjects? To help Projects SRX and ATX grow strong enough to fight the aliens…?
Julia: Yes. They’re just as much their enemies as ours.
Tetsuya: Where’s the Cybuster? What happened to Masaki!?
Rio: H-He’s…feeling sick, sir…
Tetsuya: Feeling sick? Was it something he ate!?
Rio: I’m not sure…? Kusuha is taking care of him now…
Tetsuya: We have no choice! All units, attack!
*Conditions shown, Battle starts*
*Turn 2 Enemy Phase*
Leona: That mech…
Leona: I’ve seen that maneuver before. Could it be…
{Leona VS Rai}
Leona: ! This is…!
Rai: Is that you…Leona?
Leona: Raidiese…!
Rai: So, you joined the army?
Leona: …Of course. I chose to honor my family history…
Leona: The Garsteins are a branch on your family, so we must devote ourselves to the Bransteins.
Leona: If you’ve chosen to fight against Commander Maier and Major Elzam…
Leona: Then you are now my enemy!
*Shoot down Leona*
Leona: Ugh…! I can’t adjust to the gravitational pull…
*Shoot down Leona with Rai*
Leona: Ugh…!
Rai: Leona, get out of here. This isn’t your fight.
Leona: Nor is it yours…leave the EFA and return to your family’s side!
Rai: Never.
Leona: Tch…!
Rai: …..
*Either way, Leona retreats*
{Julia VS Rai}
Rai: Major Julia Heinkel…!
Julia: That voice…Master Raidiese? What are you…
Rai: Didn’t Elzam tell you?
Julia: Are you really going to fight against Commander Maier, your father?
Rai: That man is no longer my father. He’s a threat to the Earth, just like Bian…he’s my enemy.
Julia: …..
Julia: Then I have no choice. The Commander’s enemy is my enemy…now, prepare to die!
*Shoot down Julia*
Julia: Heh…now I understand why the Commanders had their eyes on them.
Julia: That’s it. Let’s retreat.
*Julia retreats*
*Clear the map*
Rio: All enemies down!
Tetsuya: …Is the UCC beginning and all-out descent…?
*Alarm*
Tetsuya: What is it this time!?
Eita: Unknown object incoming! This one looks different than the other ones!
Tetsuya: What’s the ID!?
Eita: There’s no data on it!
Tetsuya: What’s gonna show up…!?
*Valsion erupts from the water*
Giado: Wha…What da!?
Ryusei: A giant robot…!?
Ingram: It’s not the Granzon, but it’s also not an Aerogater. Could it be a new DC mech…?
Bian: Nice to meet you, everyone. I’m the Commander of the DC, Bian Zoldark.
Tetsuya: Ngh…!
Ryusei: What did he say!?
Garnet: H-He said that he’s Bian… Is he for real!?
Giado: D-Dunno…could be a holographic image…
Latune: …That mech is real…! It really is Bian Zoldark…!
Aya: Wh-What’s the Commander of the DC doing here…!?
Daitetsu: …It’s been a long time, Bian Zoldark.
Bian: *chuckle* Indeed. Since the launch of the Hiryu…?
Daitetsu: What are you doing here?
Bian: I’ve come to offer you a chance.
Daitetsu: A chance?
Bian: Yes. A chance to choose your destiny.
Daitetsu: …..
Bian: Choose, between surrender…or death.
Ryusei: What are you talking about!? We’ll never surrender to you!
Irm: We won’t join in your campaign for world domination.
Bian: You all speak without knowledge…like children.
Ryusei: Shut up! You and your DC have dragged the entire world into this war!!
Ryusei: How many people have to die for your greed!?
Bian: This war is necessary to create a new era for mankind…
Ryusei: That’s garbage…! You just want to rule the world! Isn’t that right!?
Bian: So it may seem to your young eyes…hahaha…
Ryusei: Y-You…! What’s so funny!?
Bian: All your barking means nothing if you don’t have the bite to back it up. If there’s something you want to say…express it through your actions.
Ryusei: Wh-What…!
Bian: Of course, you’ll have to defeat my Valsion in order to do that.
Ryusei: That’s enough! I’m not afraid of your ultimate robot! I’m gonna take you down!!
Giado: Wait, Ryusei! We don’t know what he’s capable of!
Tetsuya: Captain!
Daitetsu: It’s fine! We can’t surrender! All units, attack the Valsion!!
*Conditions updated, Battle resumes*
*Any unit attacks the Valsion*
Bian: It’s no use. You can’t defeat my Valsion.
*After an attack hits the Valsion*
Bian: Hahaha…what’s wrong? Is that the best you can do?
Garnet: D-Did you…see that!?
Ryusei: Y-Yeah…!
Aya: The Valsion is protected by some kind of field…?
Garnet: Latune, what is that!?
Latune: The Valsion is equipped with a force canceller field…
Latune: It deflects any kinetic forces nearing its exterior…
Ryusei: C-Could you…say that in English!?
Rai: It’s an energy field that diminishes our attack power.
Ryusei: So he’s protecting himself with a barrier…!
Rai: Exactly. And, his barrier’s much stronger than the Hagane’s.
Ryusei: Then, what do we do!?
Ingram: Simple. We overwhelm it with a concentrated attack.
Ryusei: What’s that!?
Irm: Just attack with all your might, and break the barrier.
Ryusei: Gotcha. Let’s go!!
*Battle resumes*
{Hagane VS Valsion}
Bian: …I know what the federal government did after the Hiryu returned from Pluto’s orbit…
Bian: To cover up the incident, the had you demoted… nd they put you in charge of the Shirogane.
Bian: Now, you’re being treated as an expendable casualty for this assault on Aidoneus Island…
Bian: Why do you continue to fight for the EFA, when they disrespect you so?
Daitetsu: …I will not betray the sacrifices of those who died on the Hiryu and the Shirogane…
Daitetsu: Those who died to protect the Earth!
{Ingram VS Valsion}
Ingram: …You say you want us to surrrender…
Ingram: But you don’t really want us to join your forces, do you?
Bian: Heheheh…I see that you can analyze more than just EOT.
Bian: But, don’t think it’ll be so easy with my Valsion.
*Damage the Valsion enough*
Tetsuya: Rio, how are our PTs!?
Rio: It’s not looking good! If the battle continues this way…!
Tetsuya: Same goes for the Hagane…! The Valsion’s going to wipe us all out single-handedly…!
Daitetsu: …..
Daitetsu: …We have no choice.
Daitetsu: Vice-Captain, ready the Tronium Cannon to blast through the energy field.
Tetsuya: !! B-But…it’s still in the test phase…and it can only be shot once!
Daitetsu: I’m aware of that. But, it’s our best chance to defeat Bian Zoldark’s mech.
Tetsuya: B-But sir! The Tronium Cannon will take some time to charge!
Tetsuya: And if it fails to fire…!
Daitetsu: Don’t make me repeat my orders, Vice-Captain! Our greatest enemy is right in front of us!
Tetsuya: …R-Roger that. Ready the Tronium Cannon!
Tetsuya: Rio, tell everyone to buy us some time so we can charge the cannon!
Rio: I-It’s no good! We can’t hold him off!!
Masaki: I’ll buy you some time!!
*Cybuster appears*
Tetsuya: Masaki! You’re feeling better!?
Masaki: Yes, sir. I’m good to go.
Kuro: (Masaki does look better. Kusuha’s drink must’ve worked…)
Kusuha: Masaki…!
Masaki: Thanks, Kusuha. The taste was horrendous, but it really worked!
Kusuha: …H-Horrendous…?
Bian: That machine…
Masaki: So you’re Bian. I’ve been looking for you…!
Bian: Who are you?
Masaki: I’m Masaki! Masaki Andoh!
Masaki: So, old man! Nice of you to show up! Now tell me where Shu is!!
Bian: Shu? Shu Shirakawa?
Masaki: Yeah, that’s right! Where is he!?
Bian: If you’re an acquaintance of his…no, it doesn’t matter…
Bian: What matters…is how strong you are.
Masaki: Stop babbling! Just tell me where he is already!
Bian: I see no reason to. You’re my enemy. And I’m not wasting my time on a kid.
Masaki: H-Hey, wait a sec! Are you even listening to me!?
Bian: Hmph…youth. With your state of mind, you’ll never defeat me.
Masaki: What…!?
*More enemies appear*
Eita: E-Enemy reinforcements!!
Tetsuya: Blast…! Are we doomed…!?
Elzam: Commander Bian, I’m here to bring you back.
Bian: Elzam. Who sent you here?
Elzam: I beg of you to return. As Commander, you’re too important for us to lose.
Elzam: And, Julia Heinkel of the Treue Unit is waiting for you.
Bian: Hah…very well. I’ve seen enough. Let us withdraw.
Masaki: W-Wait!!
Bian: Hear me…there’s no way you can defeat me or the DC right now.
Masaki: Hold it…!
Bian: Then…I look forward to seeing you again, Daitetsu…you too, Hagane.
*Bian retreats*
Elzam: All units. I shall cover the commander’s retreat from this area.
Elzam: Waterbind the Hagane.
DC Pilot: Yes sir!
Elzam: Rai…remember Commander Bian’s words.
Rai: Elzam…!
Elzam: I’ll see you again, brother.
*Elzam and Stork retreat*
Tetsuya: …..
Daitetsu: Stop charging the cannon. All units intercept the enemy.
Tetsuya: R-Roger that, Captain!
Daitetsu: (Bian…why didn’t you finish us off…?)
*Conditions updated, Battle resumes*
*Defeat all enemies*
Eita: All enemy units have retreated!
Tetsuya: …And the Valsion?
Rio: It’s gone…
Tetsuya: I see…
Masaki: …So that was the DC Commander, Bian Zoldark…
Ryusei: Our archenemy…
Aidoneus Island – Commander’s Quarters
Julia: United Colony Corps Troye Unit…we’re here to protect the DC transfer units, and receive the new mech.
Bian: Very good, Major. The mech is ready, and I’ve prepared a shuttle.
Julia: Thank you sir.
Bian: When you see Maier, tell him our wish will soon be granted.
Julia: Yes, sir. I wish you and the DC luck on the European campaign.
Bian: Thank you. I wish you and the UCC luck as well…
Aidoneus Island – Briefing room
Elzam: It’s been a long time, Leona.
Leona: That is has, Elzam…
Elzam: By the way, how did my comrade Sanger Zonvolt fight?
Leona: He has…proven to be a valuable asset to the UCC.
Elzam: With his Type-0 Colossal Blade, he truly is a storm trooper…
Leona: Yes, but some people are displeased with him…
Elzam: That can’t be helped. We’re both out of our elements.
Leona: …You’re having a hard time adjusting to the DC, Sir?
Elzam: Not to worry. I love the Earth. The food is fantastic.
Leona: …..
Leona: Speaking of which…Lady Cattleya loved your cooking.
Elzam: My wife lives inside my heart. Now, and forever…
Leona: …Yes…
Elzam: Also…have you met Rai on the battlefield?
Leona: …Yes. He said that he’s not coming back…
Elzam: …..
Elzam: …When you get back to Elpis, give a message to my father. Tell him that I’ll take care of Rai…
Leona: …Yes, sir.
Hagane – Mess Hall
Irm: That was some trouble, that Valsion…
Garnet: So, what did Bian Zoldark want?
Giado: It looked like he just wanted to show off his robot.
Garnet: I doubt that. He’s not like Dr. Ohmiya or Ryusei…
Ryusei: What’s that supposed to mean!?
Giado: But…if dat old man wanted, he could’ve sunk da Hagane.
Aya: That’s true…it’s like he just wanted to test us…
Ryusei: …Don’t overanalyze it.
Aya: Ryu…
Ryusei: I don’t care what Bian wants personally, but if the DC want to take over the world…
Ryusei: We’ll go to Aidoneus Island, and take them down!
Masaki: Yeah. Because I was able to finally meet him, my own goals are clearer.
Masaki: It’s much better than when I was fighting without knowing who was the mastermind behind it all.
Irm: Well, it’s a nice change of pace to be around you simpletons.
Masaki: Simple is one way to put it. I try not to think too hard about things.
Aya: Hey, Masaki…how’d you get sick right before the battle?
Masaki: Huh? Um, I was…
Shiro: Masaki got sick after drinking Kusuha’s energy drink.
Aya: Energy drink…?
Ryusei: Ouch…I feel for ya, Masaki.
Masaki: You’ve had it before?
Ryusei: Yeah…she’s a bit of a health maniac…always making me try her energy drinks.
Garnet: Ohhhh.
Ryusei: They taste terrible, but they work.
Ryusei: You just have to get used to the taste…
Masaki: What…what does she put in them?
Ryusei: The last time, she put in ground gecko tails and viper juice.
Masaki: Wh-What!? Geckos and vipers!?
Giado: …Don’t sound healthy to me, mon.
Garnet: Next time, can she make some for Giado?
Giado: I’m not drinkin’ dat!
Aya: (What a mature conversation…)
Kusuha: Um…Masaki?
Masaki: !!
Kusuha: …I’ve added some orange juice to the energy drink…
Masaki: Orange juice!? That explains the color change! Sorry! I gotta tune up the Cybuster, see ya!
Kusuha: Masaki…?
Shiro: M-Masaki! Wait up, meow!
Kusuha: Then, Ryusei…
Ryusei: Uh, I gotta check on the Raubtier! Later!
Kusuha: How about you, Lt. Irm…?
Irm: Uh, I need to perform maintenance on the Grungust…
Aya: Yeah, I…I should finish writing that report for Major Ingram!
Giado: G-Garnet…how ‘bout we look at da stars!?
Garnet: O-Okay! Even though its noon!
*Everyone evacs the zone*
Kusuha: …..
Kusuha: Does it taste THAT bad…?
Ingram: Kusuha, what are you doing here?
Kusuha: Major Ingram…
Kusuha: …..
Kusuha: Um…could you try this?
Ingram: What is it?
Kusuha: It’s an energy drink I made…
Ingram: …Sure, I’ll try it.
Ingram: …..
Kusuha: H-How is it? The taste I mean…
Ingram: Ugh…?
Kusuha: (Uh-Uh-oh…?)
Ingram: …Not…bad.
Kusuha: It does taste good…! Thank goodness. Well, I’ll return to my post now.
*Kusuha leaves*
Ingram: …..
Solder: Major, what’s wrong? You look pale.
Ingram: …I’m fine…I just need some rest…
Soldier: T-Take care, sir…
Bian Zoldark End
