Theresa**… Things have been tough lately. I just have this feeling something terrible is going to happen to this town. But...**

✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Because of what I've done over the past few days, no one seems to believe me...**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**True. Plus, we can't be so sure that after the main shaft is taken, any Honkai Beasts nearby will go berserk.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Right. If nothing happens…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Then you'll see a new addition to the fairy tale section of the book store called "The Honkai Beast is Coming."**

✦

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

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa's silence put Sirin at a loss for words.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**I shouldn't have said anything... I'm sorry.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**It's a harmless joke compared to everyone doubting me and the future of this town. I don't mind.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa crossed her arms in an uneasy stance. It was clear something was on her mind.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**So, are you afraid?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

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

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**To keep stringing people along or sit idly by. How am I suppose [*sic*] (expected: supposed) to choose?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**The expression on Sirin's face became grave. She must have recalled what had happened to TeRiRi.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**(So she was scared too...)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**(I'm afraid I'll lose the hope of finding Senpai, I'm afraid I'll forget all about it, and that I'll be alone...)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**(That I had even done something so cruel...)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Hey, I'm the one that should be worried. What's got you looking all pale?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa's concerned and inquisitive look got under Sirin's skin. She puffed out her cheeks defiantly.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**I... I'm a bit cold, don't worry about me.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Uh... What should I do…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**What's got you troubled? You've got a clear mind and there's no room for hesitation.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**What are you talking about? I'm really stuck here!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Hmph. Don't be stupid. You don't even know what it is you're thinking about.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Aren't you the one that's supposed to be looking for anything out of the ordinary in town and alerting everyone if there is anything?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**You've fought this battle every step of the way by yourself. It's strange you'd give up at the last step.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

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

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Well, maybe you're right. Deep down I've already made up my mind.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Hmph. Dummy.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Since it's my responsibility to keep this town safe, how can I just back down when I get scared?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Think about it, if worse comes to worse [*sic*] (expected: worst), what are you going to do...?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Sirin was flustered as she noticed Theresa's expression had become grave.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**l-l'm not trying to make things difficult. I just... I just want to know…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**(I want to know what TeRiRi was thinking at that time...)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**What's the problem? As long as I'm still Theresa, my mind is made up. There's no challenge I can't overcome!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

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

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**(Of course, I should have known... they really are dumb.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Wait.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**I'll help. With us there, you don't have to be alone.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Really? Thank you! Your friends are right, you really are a good person—!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Oooofff...! I can't breathe…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa gave Sirin a tight hug. Though her face turned red, she didn't break free.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**Ohhhh, how sweet~**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**I've got it all right here. We should give the recording a name. How about,"The Tales of Little Sirin."**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Hey! Bronie...!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Tucked away in a corner, Bronie was sticking her tongue out playfully.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**Now that we've made up our minds, let's put together a plan.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**I need to head over into town, Theresa. I'll need you to give me a description...**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**Can everyone remember their missions?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Who made her our general?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**You look pretty enthusiastic. Why don't you sum things up then?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Delta reluctantly pouted.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**I'll go first.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Rita, Delta, and I were tasked with laying traps where the town meets the forest to ward off Honkai Beasts, which are afraid of flares.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Then, we'll give the signal and try to get the herd's attention and lead them deeper into the forest. That way, they won't go berserk and break into town.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**And I'll drive out the beasts that do make it into town.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**… Right. The main goal is to re-install the mechanism you've prepared.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**Delta, you underestimate the mission. I'll check on you myself in a bit.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**It's my turn. I'll go door to door letting everyone know to stock up on water and food and get their weapons ready for any Honkai Beasts. And then, I'll join back with everyone.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**It seems Theresa's made up her mind. So now…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

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

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Sirin, are you okay?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**I'm good. I'll use all of my protective magic once I get the signal…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Sirin worriedly tightened her grip around the edge of her clothing.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**It's too much. There are other options.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**It's alright... It's my job, I can handle it.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**And after you finish your part, remember to stand at the points in front of the forest entrance!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

**Captain**Let me check the map. Uh, this part isn’t finished yet.
**Delta**Let’s get to it then!

< Interact with each waypoint and place a trap. >

< After placing a trap: >
**Delta**Ah, speaking of it, wouldn’t it be faster for the drones to do it?
**Captain**Maybe it’s better for herself to operate.
< After placing 5 traps: >
**Delta**Alright, one more check and we’re all good!
**Captain**I’m heading to the next area and leaving it to you here.

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**The traps are set. Next is…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Hey, you learn faster than I expected. You've gotten everything down pat.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Following the voice, I could see that Delta had already finished her tasks and was sitting in the tree next to me, watching me closely.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**When did you get here?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**A little while ago.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**That's something else. I didn't hear you at all.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**You're totally unprepared for me? I'm your enemy.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Delta landed on the ground lightly.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**l got it, I got it. But for the time being, we're working together, so I've got nothing to worry about.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Huh. You're a weird one.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Makes sense. When faced with something someone doesn't understand, they'll often describe it as being weird.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Speak now if you have any doubts. There's still some time before everything begins.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**What you want to do seems difficult or even impossible, and most of the time, bad for you.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**But you do it wishfully, and truly believe you can make it happen.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Is that a compliment?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**I truly don't understand.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

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

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Delta turned away awkwardly.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Maybe you think we're weird, or to put it more poetically, romantics.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**But what about you? It isn't a good idea for you to stick with us through this, right?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**I think differently than you, probably because I was originally a warrior.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Delta seemed caught in a distant memory.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**It's clear, you were certainly an excellent fighter.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Oh? Are you trying to kill me with kindness? Forget it, I'm not interested in giving in to my enemy.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**I mean it. You know how to fight, and make clear judgments in uncertain situations. It's clear to everyone.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**So that's what you consider excellence.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**And frankly, excellent fighters don't just fight hard, they have to know when to throw in the towel.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**I thought I had gotten used to giving up, but every time I had to... l just couldn't.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Perhaps I'm not a good fighter at all.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

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

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Do you feel guilty about it? Or... even sorry?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**I don't do those sorts of feelings.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Don't be so hard on yourself. Your past experiences have made you who you are today. This is who you are. You don't need to compare yourself to others, just be yourself.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Wouldn't that be... selfish?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Not at all.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**You asked me just now why we always try to do the impossible. Maybe it's because I've really done what you claim to be "impossible".**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**It might sound strange, but at the time, even after having failed, I never wondered if it was possible or what others would choose to do. The only thing I could think of was—**

< Screen fades to black. >

✦

✦
✦
✦

**"But, I can't stop here."**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

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

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**It's easy to change your mind, but hard to stay true to yourself. I prefer to be an idealist and work toward an ending where everyone wins.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

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

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**There I go, rambling on to myself.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**It's alright.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Don't worry. Even if the way we think might be different, you don't have to be so strict with yourself.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**I won't be.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Besides, we're fighting side by side for now. We can talk about being enemies later. You won't need to worry about us having any reservations toward you.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

Delta**I told you I won't!**

Delta**Who said you could act all mature! T-That's right, look at this trap! It's just out in the open!**
🔇(CN text missing)

✦
✦
✦

Captain**Hm, you're right.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Go and fix it before Bronie sees.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

Captain**Right away.**
