[bluerosestyle]

Yeah. But I defied the Taboo Index a long time ago, so...

[sleeplessknight]

So...?

[bluerosestyle]

So it's not forbidden for me anymore.

[sleeplessknight]

And it won't cause trouble for you?

[bluerosestyle]

No, it's fine. In fact... if I'd made it out of that fight alive, that's where I would have needed to go.

[sleeplessknight]

Huh?

[bluerosestyle]

Mm. As a sinner, I couldn't possibly live in the human empire again-- that's what I thought, anyway.

[hello again dragon skeleton]

[sleeplessknight]

Hmm...

[just following]

[bluerosestyle]

[It's probably needless to say that the tunnel behind the dragon is also dark and long and cold but there, I said it anyway.]

[sleeplessknight]

[quiet, but on her guard the entire time]

[bluerosestyle]

[When they finally reach the light at the end of that tunnel, the world on the other side of the cave looks as if there were holes in the very fabric of its reality. Does this sound familiar? It should, because this cave tunnel leads to Shinjuku Station. They are now looking at Imeeji as was right before the trial.]

. . . ngh...

[sleeplessknight]

What...?

[bluerosestyle]

. . . .

That's what the Dark Territory looks like now...?

[sleeplessknight]

This is Tokyo-F, isn't it?

[bluerosestyle]

Yeah...

[sleeplessknight]

Do you think we'll find more goblins here?

[bluerosestyle]

. . .

I'll go take a look. I won't take long, okay?

[sleeplessknight]

Be careful...

[bluerosestyle]

Mm. You too.

[hand on her shoulder, clasps, then he crosses to the other side!

his body flickers when he crosses the border, but then it settles. He turns around to wave at her.]

[WHAT

NO!!!]

E-Eugeo?!

[runs after him]

[bluerosestyle]

[The moment she steps through the cave, her body flickers too! It stings, but the cold is the worst part of this, even if she's not feeling it as much as she should.]

Your Life decreases by 5.

[He runs towards her.]

No... W-Why did you come over to this side?! Now you'll--

[He stops, fixing his gaze back in the cave, eyes widening.]

[sleeplessknight]

You looked like you were glitching!

[looking back towards the cave, because that's a concerning reaction]

[bluerosestyle]

[Yes.

There's a purple board materializing in the air, back in the cave. It’s similar to a Stacia Window but much larger, and round. On the inside, something... someone?... appears to survey the place until he finds Yuuki and fixes his gaze on her.



Singular Unit Detected. Tracing ID. Coordinates Fixed. Report Complete.

[The window vanishes entirely.]

. . . They've found you. If we go back to the other side, they'll be waiting for us.

Your Life decreases by 5.

[sleeplessknight]

B-But this isn't the Dark Territory!

[bluerosestyle]

[He shakes his head.]

It is now...

Your Life decreases by 5.
