Chapter 1/Intermission II

Intermission II
幕間 - II

Welcome to the world of dreams. To the epilogue of this story… just kidding.
So, your story has finally begun. I was watching it as well.
The horse carriage suddenly exploding and being attacked by all those strange people, really, it’s such a mess.
Since you got caught in all that I thought you didn't really understand what was going on, so as promised I will fill you in.
So, this time the important character is Muimi, also called Novem.
It’s your first time meeting her in this world, isn’t it?
The other girls… Suzume, Shizuru and Makoto all a little bit different right?
Though, to you, she seems to be caught in events that holds no meaning to you, she is a very important being in this world.
She is the key that can unravel the mystery of this world.
That’s why they were all looking for that girl.
You guys just happened to be there, caught up in the competition revolving around that girl.
What a pain, right?
Well, to be involved in events in this way is just what a hero does. Being a hero is not that easy after all.
Anyway, there is a mystery in this world.
Well, I guess rather than a mystery you can also called it a lie.
A huge lie… full of deception, wrongness and discrepancy.
To make everyone believe in this lie, there is a force that aims to eliminate any doubts about it.
They are the people lead by Octo this time.
On the other hand, there are other people looking to break this lie and solve the mystery of this world. That, is the secret society called「Labyrinth」.
「Labyrinth」, wanting to unravel this mystery, attacked you guys in order to obtain the key that is Muimi. That is why they clashed with Octo and his band.
That was why the incident happened.
This time, it was「Labyrinth」that won.
Muimi was taken and now we're not sure where she is.
Since「Labyrinth」doesn’t use extreme methods, I think Muimi will not receive any harsh treatment.
You even met and made friends with Shizuru and Rino from「Labyrinth」.
They are all nice girls, so I don’t think they will do anything inhumane.
It seemed that they had no choice but to resort to surprising and kidnapping Muimi.
Also, something about Muimi being important. It is obvious that the forces that opposes「Labyrinth」will not give up so easily after this time’s failure.
Next time, they will send out more forces and employ different maneuvers. Octo seems to be quite confident still, maybe he is planning something, so please be careful.
You guys are now caught in a giant whirlpool of fate.
If you lower your guard, you could easily lose what is important to you, please think carefully about your decisions.
Well~ Even though I said that, you'd still probably get caught in another mess later anyway.
Try your best to overcome the obstacles, survive, and get closer to the truth of the world.
Firstly, you can try to seek out the Vigilante Squad guild that Makoto belongs to, the one that protected you when you were in a pinch, 「Caon」.
Since you have already been helped by them, and there are friends that you know in「Caon」, I think you can trust them with your safety.
In the end, you are the one who decides what to do.
Although I can give you some advice when you are facing difficulties, I do not have the right to interfere with the world you are living in.
Therefore, it will be troublesome if you rely on me too much.
But trust me, I will always be your ally.
