[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...

[sleeplessknight]

But I'd lose!

[bluerosestyle]

[nods]

If anyone can do it, that's you, but I don't know if there's enough good luck in the universe to achieve something like that. And they're all much better at Sacred Arts than me... The only advantage we have over them is our abilities.

[sleeplessknight]

I'll fight if it comes down to that, but I guess it'd be better if we tried a different strategy, right?

[bluerosestyle]

[nods]

I'll fight too if we have to. Unless...


[silence



then he shakes his head]

No... I'll fight too. As for a different strategy... if we can, we should try to find better weapons, goblins to fight, and a different way into the cave.

[sleeplessknight]

Unless what?

[bluerosestyle]

Unless it's Alice. But this isn't really her, so it doesn't matter.

[sleeplessknight]

Let's try to avoid that anyway...

[bluerosestyle]

Yeah.

And since we're at the hotel now, what if we drop by your dorms so you can get warmer clothes for yourself?

[sleeplessknight]

We can do that?!

[bluerosestyle]

Sure... I mean, why not?

[sleeplessknight]

I dunno... I thought this wasn't really Tokyo-F, so...

[well... time to call an elevator and find out???]

[bluerosestyle]

[The elevator is the same as always! If not for the tiny detail that it only has five buttons: Lobby, 3, 4, 8 and 9.]
