SIGN    Introduction to Modern Magic (29)
[01:34] Mag
    And thus,
[01:35] Mag
    just as necromancy's soul cloning and
    alchemy's homunculi are considered taboo,
[01:41] Mag
    spirit channeling is considered an even
    greater taboo by the ethics of modern magic.
[01:47] Mag
    "Then why do we need to learn about spirit
    channeling in modern magic school?"
[01:52] Mag
    ...is what many would ask.
[01:56] Mag
    But that would be a mistake.
[01:57] Mag
    In terms of its ability to observe the soul,
[02:01] Mag
    spirit channeling has greatly
    contributed to the development of—
[02:05] Veltol
    What's the matter, Professor Maguro?
[02:07] Veltol
    Please continue the lecture.
[02:10] Mag
    It's Mag.
[02:11] Mag
    Please take proper notes.
[02:14] Veltol
    Worry not.
[02:15] Veltol
    I have it all memorized.
[02:17] Mag
    In that case, the incident I spoke about at the
     start of class in year 722 of the Continental Era—
[02:22] Veltol
    The Railrod Incident.
[02:23] Veltol
    Railrod, a court mage of
    the Ruestand Kingdom,
[02:26] Veltol
    was experimenting with spirit channeling,
[02:28] Veltol
    and he lost control of his body to the
    soul of a hero that he channeled.
[02:33] Veltol
    That day was quite a disaster.
[02:35] Veltol
    I didn't expect Railrod to be so
    distracted by his wife's infidelity
[02:38] Veltol
    that it would disrupt his spell—
[02:40] Mag
    Okay, that's the right answer.
[02:42] Male
    Infidelity?
[02:43] Female
    Did the professor ever mention that?
[02:45] Female
    He talks like he saw it in person.
[02:47] Male
    No way, right?
[02:52] Takahashi
    Why are you looking so proud, Machina?
[03:04] Female
    Hey, look.
[03:05] Female
    Are those the exchange students?
[03:06] Female
    He's Veltol, right?
[03:07] Hizuki
    Weird bunch.
[03:08] Female
    The live-streamer?
[03:10] Male
    I watched him the other day.
[03:11] Male
    Is it really him?
[03:12] Female
    Hm...
[03:12] Albert
    Are you interested in the
    exchange students too,
[03:16] Albert
    head of the ruined Reynard Clan,
    Lady Hizuki Reynard-Yamada?
[03:21] Hizuki
    And what business does the heir of the
    noble Heygrams family have with me?
[03:25] Albert
    It's a noble's duty to show those
    who lack nobility the proper path.
[03:31] Albert
    At least, that is my belief.
[03:34] Albert
    Yet what are you doing?
[03:37] Albert
    You have no talent for magic,
[03:39] Albert
    yet you cling to this school
[03:41] Albert
    and hang your head in a
    corner of the classroom
[03:43] Albert
    purely because you're part
    of the Three Great Houses.
[03:46] Albert
    Calling yourself a noble is a stretch.
[03:52] Albert
    You're nothing but the daughter
    of an Electric Town man
[03:55] Albert
    and an elf with bad taste.
[03:57] Albert
    Just a half-elf halfwit.
[04:01] Albert
    What's that look for?
[04:04] Hizuki
    You can say what you will about me,
[04:07] Hizuki
    but I won't let you insult
    my mother and father!
[04:11] Albert
    I merely stated the truth.
[04:13] Albert
    Don't get angry because I tell the truth.
[04:14] Veltol
    Cease your screeching.
[04:17] Veltol
    Can you not see I am merrily
    enjoying a bowl of udon?
[04:20] Albert
    And who are you?
[04:22] Veltol
    Have you already forgotten the name of a
    man who introduced himself this morning?
[04:25] Veltol
    And you, little noble?
[04:29] Albert
    My apologies, Veltol.
[04:32] Albert
    I am Albert Heygrams.
[04:35] Albert
    The eldest son of the Heygrams family.
[04:37] Velto
    Heygrams?
[04:40] Velto
    No matter.
[04:42] Velto
    The thing about udon
[04:44] Velto
    is that it's meant to be
    eaten in silence with focus.
[04:47] Velto
    Yet what have we here?
[04:49] Velto
    My ears are ringing with hypocritical notions
     of nobility and disparaging remarks,
[04:54] Velto
    so now my udon is ruined.
[04:57] Albert
    You have no right to call me hypocritical
    with your fake job of live-streaming.
[05:04] Veltol
    Have you been watching my streams?
[05:06] Veltol
    Thank you for contributing
    to my ad revenue!
[05:09] Albert
    I merely heard my classmates mentioning it!
[05:13] Albert
    You stand before the eldest son
     of the Heygrams family,
[05:15] Albert
    and yet you dare—
[05:16] Veltol
    Hold on.
[05:17] Veltol
    Heygrams...
[05:18] Veltol
    Heygrams!
[05:19] Veltol
    Ah, so you're the descendant
    of Ganfall Heygrams?
[05:23] Albert
    H-How do you know the name of our founder?
[05:26] Veltol
    I knew it.
[05:28] Veltol
    So that coward didn't die after all.
[05:31] Albert
    What are you blathering about?
[05:33] Veltol
    That takes me back.
[05:35] Veltol
    When I stood before him at
    the Battle of Stanbolt,
[05:38] Veltol
    the pitiful Ganfall Heygrams grew
    terrified and fled in disgrace.
[05:42] Veltol
    Destiny is full of surprises,
[05:45] Veltol
    bringing me bringing me
    face-to-face with his descendant.
[05:47] Albert
    Such slander!
[05:49] Albert
    How dare you insult our founder—
[05:50] Veltol
    But, first and foremost...
[05:52] Veltol
    You're acting awfully arrogant.
[05:54] Veltol
    How can you adopt such an
    attitude when you have even less talent
[05:58] Veltol
    than the woman you so
    wholeheartedly ridicule?
[06:01] Albert
    You claim that I'm inferior to her?
[06:04] Albert
    Inferior to the defective Reynard?!
[06:09] Albert
    It seems I need to teach you how
    things are done here at this school.
[06:16] Albert
    I challenge you to a duel!
[06:22] Hizuki
    This is blowing things out of proportion.
[06:25] Takahashi
    Hello, hello!
[06:27] Takahashi
    You were having a hard time there, huh?
[06:29] Takahashi
    Everyone sure is keeping
    their distance from you.
[06:32] Takahashi
    What did you do?
[06:33] Machina
    Takahashi.
[06:36] Hizuki
    They don't like the fact that I'm
    attending this school when I'm a failure.
[06:41] Takahashi
    Huh.
[06:42] MAchina
    A failure?
[06:44] Hizuki
    My grades in theory are
    actually pretty good.
[06:48] Hizuki
    But I can't use magic.
[06:50] Takahashi
    Huh? For real?
[06:51] Takahashi
    Then why go to a school of magic?
[06:54] Takahashi
    Er, sorry.
[06:56] Hizuki
    It's fine.
[06:57] Hizuki
    I'm used to hearing it.
[06:59] Hizuki
    Well, I have my reasons.
[07:02] Takahashi
    Hm...
[07:03] Machina
    Setting that aside,
    I'm surprised they permit duels.
[07:07] Hizuki
    One of this school's goals is to
    train mages capable of combat.
[07:13] Hizuki
    You need to have a teacher
    officiating the duel,
[07:15] Hizuki
    but as long as you do,
    then duels are encouraged.
[07:19] Hizuki
    Professor Mag has it rough, though.
[07:22] Hizuki
    She's way too nice to people.
[07:25] Mag
    Let's get this over with quickly.
[07:27] Mag
    Our lunch break will be over soon.
[07:30] Veltol
    Well, hold on.
[07:32] Veltol
    You there, woman!
[07:34] Veltol
    Uh, um... Hijiki!
[07:37] Hizuki
    Huh?!
[07:38] Hizuki
    It's Hi-zu-ki! Hizuki!
[07:40] Hizuki
    I'm not named after seaweed!
[07:43] Veltol
    Keep your eyes open and watch closely!
[07:45] Veltol
    Witness the brilliant victory
    of Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[07:50] Albert
    You presume you've already won?
[07:52] Albert
    How naïve.
[07:54] Albert
    Let me explain the sad truth to
    our ignorant exchange student.
[07:58] Albert
    When in comes to mana release,
    mana manipulation, and mana reserves...
[08:04] Albert
    I'm the only student in this school who
    has received an A+ rating in everything.
[08:09] Albert
    In other words, no one at this school
    can match me in magical combat!
[08:15] Veltol
    I don't know about the others,
[08:17] Veltol
    but if you've received that
    ranking for mana reserves,
[08:21] Veltol
    then that woman you were
    ridiculing would rank far higher.
[08:25] Takahashi
    Hear that?
[08:26] Hizuki
    No, I received an F rating in
    mana reserves and practical tests.
[08:31] Machina
    Then the school's evaluation must be wrong.
[08:34] Machina
    Yes.
[08:36] Machina
    Lord Veltol's statements are never wrong.
[08:42] Hizuki
    Hey, you, is this woman okay?
[08:45] Hizuki
    She's calling her classmate "Lord"?
[08:47] Takahashi
    Well, that's normal for her.
[08:50] Albert
    If that's how you feel, then prove
    you can back up that confidence.
[08:55] Veltol
    A simple fight wouldn't be fair to you,
[08:59] Veltol
    so I'll add a handicap.
[09:00] Veltol
    I will win this duel without
    taking a step from this spot.
[09:07] Albert
    If you're making an excuse for when
    you lose, then it's a bad one.
[09:11] Veltol
    It would be a little too immature of me
    if I moved during this entertainment.
[09:16] Albert
    You are just dead set on
    insulting me, aren't you?
[09:19] Veltol
    All right, all right.
[09:20] Veltol
    Then let's swear an oath.
[09:22] ---
    Ah oath?
[09:24] Veltol
    That's right.
[09:25] Veltol
    If I lose or move even one step from
    here, then I'll do anything you ask.
[09:30] Veltol
    In return, if I win without taking a step,
[09:33] Veltol
    then you'll stop bothering
    this woman henceforth.
[09:35] Hizuki
    Huh?
[09:36] Veltol
    In the classroom and anywhere else.
[09:38] Hizuki
    Why?
[09:39] Veltol
    The way you went after that
    woman earlier was unsightly.
[09:44] Veltol
    Do you accept?
[09:45] Albert
    Very well.
[09:46] Albert
    I don't care about that half-wit anyway.
[09:50] Albert
    Though you're the one proposing this
    promise, so don't go breaking it.
[09:54] Veltol
    I said oath, not promise.
[09:56] Veltol
    Surely a noble such as yourself
    understands what that means.
[09:59] Albert
    Of course.
[10:01] Albert
    I shall swear this oath on
    my name as Albert Heygrams.
[10:06] Hizuki
    You two are his friends, right?
[10:09] Hizuki
    You should stop him.
[10:11] Hizuki
    Albert's strong.
[10:12] Hizuki
    He's didn't become the top student
    in the school by chance.
[10:15] Machina
    It's fine.
[10:17] Machina
    That man doesn't even stand
    a one-in-a-million chance.
[10:20] Takahashi
    Uh-huh. He'll give that guy a little
    something and win lickety-split.
[10:27] Mag
    Now then...
[10:28] Mag
    I, Professor Mag Rosanta,
    shall officiate this duel.
[10:33] Mag
    Both parties, please name yourselves.
[10:36] Albert
    I am the Heygrams Family's
    eldest son, Albert Heygrams.
[10:41] Veltol
    I am the Demon Lord plus live-streamer,
    Veltol Velvet Velsvalt.
[10:46] Mag
    Begin!
[10:51] Albert
    All creation gathers here—
[10:52] Veltol
    Albert, don't be so disappointing.
[10:57] Veltol
    Are you planning to shoot
    me with so little mana?
[11:00] Veltol
    Don't let your arrogance hold
    you back, half-baked mage.
[11:04] Veltol
    Fire at me with your full might,
    like you're trying to destroy me.
[11:08] Albert
    Then don't blame me for what happens!
[11:14] Mag
    Settle down!
[11:15] Mag
    What's the point in having a duel if you
    start trying to kill each other in earnest?!
[11:19] Veltol
    This is good.
[11:20] Veltol
    Don't interfere, Maguro.
[11:23] Veltol
    This will be a lesson for him.
[11:25] Takahashi
    Sounds like Velly's enjoying this.
[11:28] Machina
    That's because it's been a while since
    he had an old-fashioned magic duel.
[11:33] Hizuki
    You all are crazy.
[11:36] Albert
    All creation gathers here
    to fill the vast skies;
[11:39] Albert
    my body takes arrow's
    shape to defeat my foe!
[11:42] Veltol
    A spell's incantation!
[11:44] Veltol
    Yes, this is it!
[11:45] Veltol
    It's been far too long!
[11:47] Hizuki
    You idiot! Run!
[11:49] Hizuki
    You'll seriously die!
[11:51] Albert
    Aether Arrow!
[12:01] Veltol
    Hm... It seems you're not all talk.
[12:07] Takahashi
    Oh!
[12:10] Albert
    N-No way!
[12:12] Albert
    You caught my full-strength
    spell with your bare hand?
[12:15] Albert
    That's impossible!
[12:16] Veltol
    That wasn't bad.
[12:18] Veltol
    With another 200 years of training,
[12:20] Veltol
    you could become a mildly
    entertaining opponent.
[12:25] Veltol
    Do not grow so despondent.
[12:27] Veltol
    This was the natural outcome.
[12:29] Veltol
    Your mana release and mana manipulation
[12:33] Veltol
    are excellent for a mortal
    of the modern era.
[12:36] Veltol
    I'm sure that's the fruit
    of your daily training.
[12:39] Veltol
    Ganfall has produced good offspring.
[12:41] Albert
    Huh?
[12:43] Veltol
    I'll apologize for my earlier
    rudeness toward your ancestor.
[12:46] Veltol
    Also, I shall reward you for
    your diligent efforts toward magic.
[12:58] Veltol
    Here is a taste of the
     true essence of magic.
[13:00] Veltol
    Savor it with your body.
[13:15] Hizuki
    What was that?
[13:17] Machina
    He fired off a mass of compressed mana.
[13:21] Machina
    It's an honor to bask directly
    in Lord Veltol's mana.
[13:25] Machina
    It's wasted on a mortal.
[13:27] Hizuki
    You make it sound simple,
[13:29] Hizuki
    but that's not something a human
    can do, let along a high schooler.
[13:35] Hizuki
    Just who is he?
[13:38] Veltol
    What's the matter, Maguro?
[13:40] Veltol
    Announce the winner.
[13:42] Mag
    Oh! The winner is...
[13:45] Mag
    Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[13:49] Takahashi
    Velly's so cool!
[13:53] Veltol
    Were you watching, Hijiki?
[13:55] Hizuki
    It's Hi-zu-ki!
[13:58] Veltol
    I offer this victory to you.
[14:01] Hizuki
    Well, um...
[14:03] Hizuki
    Thanks.
[14:05] Veltol
    Good.
[14:06] Hizuki
    Though...
[14:07] Veltol
    Hm?
[14:08] Hizuki
    You should stay away from me.
[14:11] Hizuki
    Or I'm sure you'll face misfortune.
[14:21] Takahashi
    Still, man...
[14:23] Takahashi
    So there really are stuck-up,
    unbearable little rich boys like Albert.
[14:30] Takahashi
    He really acted like he lived up on high
    in a different world from the rest of us.
[14:37] Machina
    That's because the culture of Alnaeth
    remains especially strong in Akihabara.
[14:41] Takahashi
    I can't use my Familia,
    I can't choose my uniform...
[14:45] Takahashi
    All schools were like this around
    a hundred years ago, right?
[14:49] Takahashi
    Makes me realize how glad
    I am to be alive in this era.
[14:54] Machina
    You could go home by yourself if you want.
[14:57] Takahashi
    I'm kidding.
[14:58] Takahashi
    I can't go scampering back home
    without laying eyes on that treasure.
[15:02] Takahashi
    Though I'm surprised we need the
    three regalia to open up the treasury.
[15:09] Takahashi
    Prospects are looking grim.
[15:11] Takahashi
    We still don't even know if the Dark Peers
    Records that we're after are inside it.
[15:15] Takahashi
    Can't you two just pop it open
    with some oomph from your magic?
[15:21] Veltol
    That would be possible, but treasuries
    sealed with ancient magic
[15:26] Veltol
    are typically designed to destroy their
    contents if you try to force them open.
[15:31] Veltol
    I can't really recommend
    that course of action.
[15:33] Machina
    We'll just have to gather
    the regalia the hard way.
[15:36] Machina
    We've already reached an agreement
    with the principal regarding the Blade,
[15:39] Machina
    so that just leaves two.
[15:40] Takahashi
    The Crown is held by the
    representative of Electric Town,
[15:44] Takahashi
    the head of the Seburd Clan,
     Korneah Seburd.
[15:46] Takahashi
    I found that with a quick search.
[15:48] Veltol
    And the Orb has been lost,
    its whereabouts unknown.
[15:52] Takahashi
    Nothing we can do about that one, right?
[15:55] Takahashi
    We can't find a treasure with no clues.
[15:57] Veltol
    No, that's not the case.
[16:00] Takahashi
    What do you mean?
[16:01] Machina
    Hizuki Reynard-Yamada, right?
[16:03] Veltol
    Yes.
[16:04] Takahashi
    Reynard?
[16:06] Takahashi
    Oh!
[16:07] Veltol
    Yes.
[16:09] Veltol
    Judging from what Albert said to her,
    that girl is the head of the Reynard Clan.
[16:14] Veltol
    The loss of the Orb,
    the symbol of their authority,
[16:17] Veltol
    has to be related to why
    they've fallen into ruin.
[16:20] Veltol
    That's the lead for our search.
[16:23] Takahashi
    So that duel was a strategy to leave
    a good impression on that girl!
[16:29] Takahashi
    We were all just dancing in the
    palm of the villainous Demon Lord!
[16:33] Veltol
    No, that brat just pissed me off.
[16:36] Takahashi
    So you say, but you still
    helped her in the end.
[16:37] Machina
    Hey, Takahashi!
[16:40] Takahashi
    That's what makes you so cool!
[16:44] Machina
    We're almost there.
[16:46] Veltol
    What's up ahead?
[16:48] Takahashi
    Oh, right.
[16:49] Takahashi
    You haven't seen it yet, Velly.
[16:51] Machina
    I've only visited once before
    myself, but it was amazing.
[16:56] Veltol
    Th-This is...
[16:59] Takahashi
    Yes!
[17:00] Takahashi
    This is the other face of Akihabara!
[17:04] Takahashi
    The polar opposite of Magic Town!
[17:05] Takahashi
    A city brimming with pleasure and desire!
[17:09] Takahashi
    Electric Town!
[17:12] Veltol
    Even just seeing it from the outside gives
    you a sense of how densely packed it is.
[17:17] Veltol
    It's probably a labyrinth inside.
[17:20] Veltol
    Now I'm itching to find out how to
    conquer it and gather information!
[17:26] Takahashi
    Hold it, Velly.
[17:27] Takahashi
    There's pandemonium inside.
[17:29] Takahashi
    Rumors have it that it'll take you a
    whole day to get out if you get lost.
[17:34] Takahashi
    That means you'll need a
    guide familiar with it.
[17:38] Veltol
    I see.
[17:39] Takahashi
    And the woman before you now happens to be
[17:42] Takahashi
    a super genius pretty girl hacker
    who knows all about Electric Town.
[17:46] Takahashi
    I'm also an information
    gathering specialist.
[17:49] Machina
    Meaning?
[17:50] Takahashi
    I'm going to take you to the best place for
    gathering information in Electric Town.
[17:56] Maid
    Welcome home, Master!
[17:59] Takahashi
    Oh, three please.
[18:01] Maid
    This way, please!
[18:03] Mananan
    Thank you for requesting me all the time!
[18:06] Mananan
    Mananan's so touched!
[18:09] Ogre
    You're always so cute, Mananan-tan!
[18:12] Ogre
    Whoops, you're so moe-moe that
     I slipped back into my old language.
[18:18] Ogre
    It was inevitable.
[18:21] Ogre
    Mananan-shi's moe-kyun
    level is exceptional.
[18:24] Orc
    Right!
[18:25] Orc
    To be precise, she's three times more
    moe-moe than your average maid.
[18:28] Orc
    Ah, Mananan, do you get the reference?
[18:30] Orc
    Three times faster than your average model
    is a line from a super famous robot anime—
[18:36] Veltol
    May I ask you something, Takahashi?
[18:39] Takahashi
    Hm? What is it?
[18:41] Veltol
    Not that I'm doubting you,
[18:43] Veltol
    but can we really gather
    information in a place like this?
[18:46] Takahashi
    Tsk, tsk, tsk.
[18:48] Takahashi
    How naïve, Velly.
[18:49] Takahashi
    All kinds of people stop
    in to visit maid cafés.
[18:53] Takahashi
    And according to my research,
    the maids love gossip.
[18:57] Takahashi
    So if we want to gather information,
[18:59] Takahashi
    then visiting a maid café
    makes logical sense.
[19:03] Takahashi
    Taverns are the go-to place for gathering
    information in games, right?
[19:06] Takahashi
    These maid cafés are pretty
    much like taverns.
[19:09] Takahashi
    They even serve liquor here.
[19:11] Veltol
    I see.
[19:12] Veltol
    I had assumed we came
    here just to sightsee.
[19:17] Veltol
    Forgive me.
[19:18] Takahashi
    No way. It's not like that at all.
[19:22] Machina
    There's a unique atmosphere
    to this place, isn't there?
[19:25] Machina
    It's hard to put into words,
[19:29] Machina
    but there's definitely a unique atmosphere.
[19:33] Takahashi
    Machina, you say a lot of
     nothing sometimes.
[19:36] Machina
    Setting that aside, aren't
    these prices far too high?
[19:41] Takahashi
    Machina! You big idiot!
[19:43] Machina
    Wh-What's gotten into you?
[19:44] Takahashi
    These are the prices of dreams!
[19:48] Takahashi
    Fulfilling the dream of having a maid
[19:51] Takahashi
    adorned in a cute outfit
    serving you hand and foot!
[19:53] Takahashi
    That is what you pay extra for!
[19:56] Otaku
    Mhmm!
[19:57] Veltol
    We've had plenty of butlers and maidservants
[19:59] Veltol
    taking care of us without needing
    to buy the "dream," though.
[20:02] Machina
    Yes. Though it has been an
    awfully long time for me.
[20:06] Takahashi
    That's right.
[20:07] Takahashi
    You two were basically
    nobility and royalty.
[20:11] Takahashi
    I always forget you two
    are dreams in the flesh.
[20:14] Veltol
    Though the service here
[20:14] OrcMaid
    You know so much, Master!
[20:16] Veltol
    isn't like what I remember
    our servants providing.
[20:17] Customer
    You should watch it too, Akebi-chan.
[20:19] Takahashi
    Well, this is what real maids are like.
[20:22] Veltol
    Is that true?
[20:23] Machina
    Nuh-uh.
[20:26] Takahashi
    I'm sure you two will be fine,
    but one of my friends got banned
[20:32] Takahashi
    after harassing a maid until
    she told him to stay away,
[20:35] Takahashi
    so be careful.
[20:36] Machina
    Takahashi, you need to think
    about who you associate with.
[20:41] Veltol
    Stay away, huh...
[20:44] Machina
    Is something the matter?
[20:46] Veltol
    No, just recalling what
    that Reynard girl said.
[20:50] Veltol
    Something about that has been bugging me.
[20:53] Machina
    She told us to stay away from her.
[20:56] Machina
    I spoke with her a bit,
[20:58] Machina
    and it seemed like she was
     deliberately avoiding people.
[21:02] Veltol
    I see.
[21:03] Takahashi
    Given how she was,
[21:04] Takahashi
    I think forcing her to interact with us would have the opposite effect.
[21:08] Takahashi
    We still have plenty of time on our exchange
    program, so let's be patient with her.
[21:12] Machina
    We do want to avoid confrontation.
[21:15] Machina
    She doesn't seem like a bad girl,
    so even setting the regalia issue aside,
[21:19] Machina
    she's someone I'd personally
    like to get along with.
[21:23] Takahashi
    Yeah.
[21:25] Takahashi
    All right! So let's end that talk
    there and call our maid over!
[21:29] Machina
    Takahashi, we were having
    a serious discussion—
[21:32] Takahashi
    Oh, they even have a request system!
[21:35] Takahashi
    Then let's ask for the maid
    with the biggest boobs!
[21:38] Machina
    Takahashi, are you listening to me?
[21:41] Takahashi
    You're so serious, Machina.
[21:43] Takahashi
    We should enjoy ourselves since
    we've come all the way here.
[21:46] Machina
    That's not the issue—
[21:47] Hizuki
    Sorry for the wait!
[21:49] Hizuki
    Master! May I take your—
[21:54] Hizuki
    Aaugh!
[21:56] Veltol
    Hm?
    Oh, my.
    Huh?
