[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.

[sleeplessknight]

What do we do?

[bluerosestyle]

. . . For now, let's see if being inside a building helps. The hotel's near, and we're just getting hurt out here like this.

[takes her hand and pulls, let's run!]

Your Life decreases by 5.

[sleeplessknight]

[runs! letting him take the lead]

[bluerosestyle]

[They run...]

Your Life decreases by 5.

[And run...]

Your Life decreases by 5.

[And finally make it!]



Haah... a-are you okay...?

[His stamina is usually better than this... The hotel looks the same as usual. At least at first glance.]

[sleeplessknight]

Yeah, and you?

[are we going in??]

[bluerosestyle]

[We are in. Like two steps in. Enough to stop losing Life points, thank you.]

Yeah... Ahhh, this is bad, this is bad... Where are we going to find good weapons here...?

[sleeplessknight]

What will happen if we go back?

[bluerosestyle]

If we don't find an alternative way back into the cave, we'll have to fight an Integrity Knight.

Or several.

And they all have Divine weapons.

[sleeplessknight]

So we'd need the Blue Rose sword first...

[bluerosestyle]

Ideally, yeah.





. . . . . . Not that you couldn't defeat them with a branch if you wanted, but...
