???**Waaaaah!**

🔇(JP text missing)

✦

✦

**Right then, we felt someone knock into us when we turned the corner.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Perhaps that person was in too much of a rush. When we came around and opened our eyes again—**

**Everyone sat on the ground, looking at each other.**

???**Aww! Ah, wait, don’t arrest me, I’m a certified patrol policewoman from the village. I have certification to prove that… I have a compelling reason to enter the experiment pod!**

**The girl hurriedly raised her certification.**

Delta**Twilight Paladin Theresa? Heh, looks like we unexpectedly found the right person.**

✦

Theresa**Huh?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Wait, you guys are not from the Security Sector?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Of course not. And, the people chasing after you are there.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Whaaaaa?!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Emergency Broadcast**Theresa and those four accomplices of hers, you've been surrounded! The lab shall arrest you for trespassing. Give up on futile resistance and cooperate with the Safety and Security Sector's investigation!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Hey, we're not accomplices.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Emergency Broadcast**Trespassers, put down your weapons, or else we will use violence.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Tch, do you think you can scare anyone? I'll show you what I'm capable of.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Delta was about to raise her huge blade, but Theresa stopped her quickly.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**What are you doing?! It's very dangerous to jump in front of a weapon like that!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Let's talk it out... We don't have to make a big fuss out of this, as long as we can leave this place safely...**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Leave safely... Tsk, does anyone know how we can get out without a fight?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Delta tilted her head and looked at all of us who were standing behind her, looking troubled. She stopped her eyes on Sirin.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**You... Why are you always staring at me?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**How's your magic recovery going?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Well, just so-so...**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Got any magic to let us escape without a fight? You see, Theresa doesn't like to resolve things my way.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**No, I haven't practiced it…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Oh my, what do we do? You heard her, as Miss Theresa's accomplices, we are going to be arrested now.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Waaa—! How scary, I don't wanna go to prison—!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**I heard that Sirin has been working hard on her magic recently, I'm sure she has so [*sic*] (expected: no) other way?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Fine, why is everyone harassing me... I got it.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**But, if I fail, you guys... are not allowed to laugh.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Sirin bit her lip, closed her eyes, and placed both hands in front of herself, as if trying to focus.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Soon, a blurry ball of light sat in her hands. It glowed and dimmed periodically, and it had the shape of a star.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**…!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**From the floor, a few bricks lifted. 0n the walls, the secure metal panels curled slightly at the edges.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(There's hope! Her magic has recovered!)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**(Oh, so this is the power of a magic girl...)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Ding—! A light and crisp sound rang.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**That was all the changes that the magic could make.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**You see... I…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Emergency Broadcast**Trespassers have not dropped their weapons and have damaged the resources in the sacred lab.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Emergency Broadcast**The Safety and Security Sector will now employ violent measures. Countdown begins—**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Looks like we only have one option left.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Sorry, Theresa, we can only burst you out together with us.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Wait, wait, we're absolutely gonna spend our lives in prison if we do this!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Don't worry, we'll rid you of all accusations, there won't be a problem.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Really?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**There's no time for hesitation, lead the way, Miss Theresa.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**A-Alright!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

< Defeat the enemies with Theresa. >
< 3 Vigiles spawn. >
< 4 Titans spawn. >
**Delta**Humph, they’re a piece of cake.
**Rita**Watch ahead, everyone. The guards are shutting down the exit.
**Theresa**Phew… who the hell are you guys?
< 1 Kunoichi and 1 Arc DEF: Riot spawns. >
< Follow Theresa after defeating the enemies.. >

< Interact with the waypoint. >
Ten minutes. Or longer. We finally left the lab.

✦

✦
✦
✦

**The fight had ended. Now, we were all resting in an obscure alley.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Aren't you all going home? You've caused such a huge trouble, don't linger outside anymore!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Relax, we're not kids.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**And, aren't you our accomplice?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Hey! I don't care if you believe this or not, but I must emphasize that I infiltrated the lab for the safety of the town!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Is there anything suspicious about that lab?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Of course. Just yesterday, that lab's sample collection department caught a few Honkai Beasts for animal testing.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Running experiments with Honkai Beasts? Sounds like a very normal thing to do.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**It's not normal at all! Those are Honkai Beasts, the town hasn't seen those dangerous things for years. If those Honkai Beasts were to escape from the lab and hurt the residents, that'll be terrible.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Since the lab managed to capture them...**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**That doesn't mean that the lab's security is flawless! Look, I managed to infiltrate, and even got out safely.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Is that something you should be proud of?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**If there's an oversight in the security, Miss Theresa, how did they discover you then?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Once confident, the smile on Theresa's face stiffened.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Ugh, when I was looking into the cultivation pond, I accidentally fell headfirst into it…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Well, that seems like the research center does have some oversights... But, are you alright?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Heheh, of course. But... But I made a huge hole in the cultivation pond, and even scared a Honkai Beast unconscious…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa played with her braid in embarrassment as she spoke. I could see two injuries on her neck. They didn't look like abrasions or cuts.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Those injuries on your neck, are those alright?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Oh, I didn't sustain these just now. Maybe I hurt myself in one of my previous missions... Don't worry, it doesn't hurt anymore.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa seemingly misread my suspicions as concern, and rolled up her sleeves to show us every injury she had on her arms.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Look, it's common to get hurt during missions. Sometimes, I'd forget to rub ointment on them, so they'll naturally recover slower.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**So, it was also your mission to ascertain if the Honkai Beasts were in the lab?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Ugh... About that…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa shrugged her shoulders awkwardly.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**It is my solemn responsibility to keep the town safe, of course it's a mission…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(This does sound like something Theresa would say...)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Hey, don't try to find excuses for trespassing.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**As expected of Theresa, you're getting better at creating problems for yourself...**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Fine, l was wrong. But…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**After someone had told me the news about the lab two days ago, I couldn't help but think of how the Honkai Beasts might escape. I could even hear the residents crying for help.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**You said that someone else told you about this info? May I ask who that person is?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa tilted her head, as if trying to remember something trivial from a decade ago.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Or, how the person looks like?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**I can't remember it clearly. I only recall that it was a girl who told me... At least, the voice sounded like a girl's.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**… That's all?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa nodded.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**That's alright. Other than her gender, did that person have any other special traits?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Gosh, why are you fussing over these details?! The Honkai Beasts are kept safely, I've checked. That's all for this matter! I have a more important mission to do now!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**What mission?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**It is... Uhh... It's to... Ugh... D-Don't rush me... What was I gonna say...?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Rita and I looked at each other.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Miss Theresa, I sincerely apologize for causing you trouble.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Eh, don't say that! If it weren't for all of you, I wouldn't have escaped so smoothly.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**You don't dislike us. In fact, you think that we cooperated very well, right?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Of course, we've faced a life-and-death situation together. From now on, all of you are my pals!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**In that case, do you mind if we accompany you for a little while more, and help you remember and complete that very important mission?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**And, who knows, we might even be of help to you.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Rita quietly glanced at the other two.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**… You guys can make the call, I have no opinions.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Although... Ugh, I don't have any opinions either.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Ah, that'll be great! How about we patrol the city first? We can help the residents while I try to recall about it!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Regardless what the mission may be, it is my duty to protect everyone's peace and safety!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)
