**[00:00] Makoto/N**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*A deep darkness has settled in the city.*<br>**[00:03] Makoto/N**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I tried conducting an investigation*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;under the cover of darkness, but...*<br>**[00:09] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[00:10] Aqua**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I was supposed to meet Lime-san at dawn,<br>**[00:13] Aqua**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but I can't even reach him telepathically.<br>**[00:15] Aqua**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The last time I heard from him, he was near<br>**[00:17] Aqua**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the part of the academy<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that's being redeveloped.<br>**[00:20] Eris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He wouldn't fight when he hasn't<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;been ordered to kill enemies on sight.<br>**[00:24] Eris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Normally, he'd flee.

And he's too<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;skilled to be easily taken down.<br>**[00:32] Shiki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps we've been deceived by Rona.<br>**[00:36] Shiki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She'd betray us in this way<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;while shaking our hands.<br>**[00:41] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In any case, we can't<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;make any decisions yet.<br>**[00:46] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Let's head to where he disappeared.<br>**[00:48] [SONG] Eptitle**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Night Nine    The Perverted Dragon<br>**[00:48] [SONG] Eptitle**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Night Nine    The Perverted Dragon<br>**[00:51] Lime**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Damn it!<br>**[00:53] Lime**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They even took my precious sword.<br>**[00:55] Lime**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So... are you okay, miss?<br>**[00:58] Eva**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, though you've got<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;some nerve asking that.<br>**[01:01] Lime**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry you got dragged into this.<br>**[01:08] (Flashback) Lime**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't move.

Definitively.<br>**[03:09] Lime**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't worry. He's not here.<br>**[03:12] Lime**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And it's not like I didn't do anything, either.<br>**[03:14] Eva**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What does that mean?<br>**[03:15] Lime**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I left a mark on him when I struck him<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so I'd know his current location.<br>**[03:21] Eva**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Even if I believe you, that doesn't<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;change the fact that I'm in danger.<br>**[03:26] Eva**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you're going to rescue me,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd like you to do something about<br>**[03:29] Eva**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the people who have taken<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;root in the academy, too.<br>**[03:32] Lime**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's in it for me?<br>**[03:33] Eva**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can provide your master, Kuzunoha-san,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with useful information.<br>**[03:39] Eva**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And if you're able to destroy<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the organization itself,<br>**[03:43] Eva**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I promise you a handsome reward.<br>**[03:47] Lime**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fine.
