\text
After that earthquake, Risbell returned to the labyrinth
first and shut herself in the office.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
............
\endtext

\text
She quietly closed the old document she had in her hands.
\endtext

\text
It was an old document she had obtained at the Rudol Museum.
\endtext

\text
At the time, she had only skimmed through it, but it seemed
interesting so she brought it back.
\endtext

\text
What caught her eye back then was a passage about the Great
Destruction.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I need to hear what Verlnya and the others have to say...

\endtext

\text("Citizen 1")
But with this many around, it actually seems bad for your
eyes.
\endtext

\text
A dazzling swarm of Kiramushi drifted through the air.

\endtext

\text
They shone with a brilliance that rivaled the setting sun,
illuminating Bram in a radiant light.
\endtext

\text("Citizen 2")
I heard there are swarms of Kiramushi in Shuka and Kiros
too.
\endtext

\text("Citizen 1")
Huh. Feels like something really good is about to happen.

\endtext

\text
It wasn't just Bram.
\endtext

\text
If you looked down on the Nilt region from the sky, you'd
immediately notice how strange things were here.
\endtext

\text
It wasn't just Hados.
\endtext

\text
Lusario, Shuka, Kiros... All across Nilt, swarms of
Kiramushi appeared, lighting up cities... and the whole
country.
\endtext

\text
There were hardly any people in Nilt who disliked Kiramushi.

\endtext

\text
So, no one paid it any mind.
\endtext

\text
On the surface, at least, Nilt was still at peace.

\endtext

\text
―But that was only on the surface.
\endtext

\text
After that, Beatrice fell silent.
\endtext

\text


\endtext

\text
This is the phenomenon known as the Great Destruction or the
Great Calamity.
\endtext

\text
The fortune teller of Shuka saw it. The Great Calamity will
destroy Nilt, she said.
\endtext

\text
Because of the Great Destruction, everything on the surface
vanished into light...

\endtext

\text
Even the document Rudol had only mentioned things to that
extent.
\endtext

\text
But if it's those two―
\endtext

\text("Caym")
First you suddenly say you're going back to the labyrinth,
and now you're calling us here... So, did you figure
something out?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Yes. But I think the two from Structa know more about
this than I do.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
You did your own research too, didn't you?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...The Great Destruction. Swallowed by a flood of light,
everything returns to nothingness...

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I'm sure we could find more documents if we searched, but we
don't have time.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Could you tell us everything you know?

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
I don't know everything myself... but if that's alright with
you.
\endtext

\text
When Risbell nodded, Verlnya slowly began to speak.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
According to the legends of Brightleaf, the civilization
that once flourished here was swallowed by a flood of light
and returned to nothingness.
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Yes... and the surviving Brightleaf revived the Forest of
Arda... or so it goes.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...That was 2,000 years ago. The Testa civilization, which
was at its peak then, was destroyed in a single night.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Can a civilization really be wiped out in just one night?

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
To be precise, it wasn't destroyed... it was annihilated.

\endtext

\text("El")
Annihilated...?
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
The 'offspring'... what you call Kiramushi, transformed into
'Yumekui'...

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
They devoured the minds and memories of all living things in
this land.
\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
Ahh... so you're saying the Kiramushi turned into those
Yumekui things and wiped everything out?

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Wait... you said 'offspring,' right? That means there's a
parent that gave birth to them, doesn't it?

\endtext

\text("Noro")
The parent... of the Kiramushi?
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
Exactly. It's called 'Elasque.' We call it the 'King of
Slumber.'

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Elasque. That's the god worshipped among the poor in some
regions, isn't it?

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
The King of Slumber feeds on people's emotions, memories,
and minds.
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
To do that, it pours its vast magical power into the land it
chooses as its bed, turning it into fertile ground and
gathering people there...
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
Then, once prosperity reaches its peak, it begins its
'feast.'
\endtext

\text("Agri")
So that's when it's 'ripe for the picking,' huh?
\endtext

\text("Glace")
So this 'feast' is what they call the Great Destruction.

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
Yes. The Kiramushi are its feeding organs as well.

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
Normally, they only feed on the dead. That's why they're
harmless for now.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Is that why they often appear on battlefields?

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
That's right. They respond to human emotions. That's why you
see so many at battlefields or festivals.

\endtext

\text("Magahime")
...So what happens if the Kiramushi turn into Yumekui?

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
...If that happens, it's over. They'll devour everything
without discrimination.
\endtext

\text
Almost everyone present instantly turned pale.

\endtext

\text
Right now, the Nilt region is swarming with Kiramushi.

\endtext

\text
So many that they're filling every city.
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
The moment the spawn in the cities turn into Yumekui, that's
when this country ends, Caym.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
...I see. Yeah, that would be pretty bad.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
How can you be so calm about this?! We have to do something
about the Kiramushi, and fast...
\endtext

\text
―Can we really do anything about it?
\endtext

\text
Get rid of the Kiramushi? All of them, in those numbers?

\endtext

\text
And we don't even know when they'll turn into Yumekui.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
It's like trying to exterminate every single flying insect
in the city.
\endtext

\text("Magahime")
This isn't the time to act all composed! Isn't there
anything we can do?
\endtext

\text("Agri")
Yeah, seriously, do something! Aren't you guys Structors?!

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
If we defeat the King of Slumber, maybe... But I can't
guarantee the Kiramushi will stay as they are until then.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Then we just have to crush it right now.

\endtext

\text
Caym said this calmly, unfazed.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
If time is short, then we go now. Where is it?

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Caym-sama...
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
Deep underground in Nilt... even deeper than this labyrinth.

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
If you're going, I can guide you to the entrance.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Alright. Let's go, then.

\endtext

\text
Without a hint of hesitation, Caym replied.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
No.
\endtext

\text
But a voice objected to Caym's decision.

\endtext

\text
Beatrice. Of all people, she was the one to defy Caym.


\endtext

\text("Caym")
Why not? It's just pest control.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
It's not about whether you can defeat it or not.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
What do you think will happen if the Kiramushi turn into
Yumekui while you're gone? How many will die?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's why, before that happens...
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
And when is 'before that'? Do you really think you can
defeat it in time?

\endtext

\text("Caym")
...What's this? You're being awfully defiant.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
For all we know, the feeding could start tomorrow... no, it
could even begin this very moment.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Then, do you have any ideas?
\endtext

\text
Caym glares at Beatrice.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...The spawn can't move or show themselves without magic
power.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
What...?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Ris, can you set up anti-magic barriers in each city and
make shelters?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Wouldn't anti-magic crystals be better for that?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
It would take too long to gather them. Besides, the spawn
themselves aren't that strong.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
............
\endtext

\text
Suddenly, Risbell remembers when Beatrice was playing with
the Kiramushi.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
You know a lot about the Great Destruction... and about the
Kiramushi too, don't you?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
............
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Beatrice-san, since we're here, I'd like you to answer
honestly.
\endtext

\text
Up until now, Beatrice has helped them many times.

\endtext

\text
As a fellow Diabolica... and as a woman who admires Caym,
Risbell has started to feel close to her.

\endtext

\text
But it's also clear that she's hiding something.

\endtext

\text
Yes, in this situation... her secrets can't be overlooked.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I can't just pretend not to see what you're hiding anymore.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
You knew about the King of Slumber, about all of this―didn't
you?

\endtext

\text
Risbell looks straight into Beatrice's eyes and presses her
for answers.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Risbell.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I'm asking because Caym-sama can't. And... it's not that I
don't trust you.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
We just need as much information as possible. ...To defeat
the King of Slumber, our greatest enemy yet.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
............
\endtext

\text
Everyone present turns their gaze to Beatrice.

\endtext

\text
Some look at her with trust. Others, with suspicion, reach
for their weapons.
\endtext

\text
Taking it all in, Beatrice lets out a small sigh.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...Ris is right. I knew everything.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Why didn't you say something sooner?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
I always thought I'd have to tell you someday. But I kept
thinking... maybe not yet.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
How could you possibly think that...
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...The King of Slumber wasn't supposed to awaken for
hundreds of years.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Wasn't supposed to?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Minerva just said it, didn't she? The predation happens when
a civilization is at its peak.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...That's right. Normally, it takes many years for a
civilization to develop...

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
If the Demon Lord's army hadn't existed, the King of
Slumber's predation would have been far in the future.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...If the Demon Lord's army hadn't existed?
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
...The Nilt region is more prosperous now than ever before.

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
The three nations have been unified by a small country,
becoming one great nation.
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
There's no more war within Nilt, and the country is being
governed properly.
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
People can safely have children, and as a result, the nation
prospers even more...
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
This is the current Nilt... the state of the restored Hados.

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
Of course, this country will continue to develop even
further.
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
However... Nilt's current development is so remarkable that
the King of Slumber's awakening has come much sooner than it
should have.
\endtext

\text
To the point that the King of Slumber has judged that now is
the 'prime time.'
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...That's why we tried to reduce the population, or even
destroy the country.
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
We weren't acting solely to wipe out the Diabolica.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Then, what you said before...

\endtext

\text
Risbell forces out her words, her voice trembling with
agitation.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Was it true that you were going to destroy Nilt...?

\endtext

\text
It wasn't just a bluff or an accusation.
\endtext

\text
They fought to create a place for the Diabolica... for the
weak.
\endtext

\text
But all of that only hastened destruction.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
The King of Slumber has awakened. Now, destruction is
unavoidable.
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
............
\endtext

\text
――If that's the case.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Then we'll defeat the King of Slumber ourselves.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...?
\endtext

\text("Agri")
If it's our fault, then all the more reason.

\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
Besides, the Demon Lord says she's going to fight. So
there's no other way, is there?

\endtext

\text("Noro")
............
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Verlnya. No one here is just going to quietly accept
destruction.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...Is that so?
\endtext

\text
It was none other than Caym and the others who started this
fight.
\endtext

\text
So, it won't be the King of Slumber who ends it all.

\endtext

\text
It will be the Demon Lord's army―and Caym.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Nee-san... you all don't have to come with me.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Huh...?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Of course. We're the ones who started this, after all.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
I refuse. Don't say such cold things. It gives me chills.

\endtext

\text("El")
...Are you trying to act cool or something? That doesn't
suit you at all, Caym-sama!

\endtext

\text("Caym")
............
\endtext

\text("Tiela")
Hehe... As always, please order us to follow you. We belong
to you, after all.

\endtext

\text("Magahime")
Yeah, exactly. It's a little late for you to start worrying
about us, Caym.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Even if you don't order us, we'll follow you anyway. Is that
all right, Caym?
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
...I swore to wield my sword for you. Please allow me to
accompany you.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...You heard them, right?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Do as you like, seriously.
\endtext

\text
Even if he tried to persuade them, these girls would never
change their minds.
\endtext

\text
Though he spoke bluntly as if giving up, Caym looked
somewhat happy.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
What about you, nee-san?
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...Of course I'm coming with you. Like I'd ever say no.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Yeah. I figured you'd say that, nee-san.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Then come with me. We'll defeat the King of Slumber and
change this fate of destruction with our own hands...!

\endtext

\text
....................
\endtext

\text
............
\endtext

\text
......
\endtext

\text
――A corner of Bram.
\endtext

\text
There, among the gathered passersby, are Risbell and
Minerva.
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
We're finished with preparations on our end.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Thank you very much. That was a big help.

\endtext

\text
There are mechanisms set up around here to activate the
anti-magic barrier.
\endtext

\text
In the end, we had no choice but to rely on Beatrice's
suggestion to deal with the Kiramushi.
\endtext

\text
Right now, Lusario, Shuka, and in Kiros, Tiela, Magahime,
and Glace are probably constructing the same barrier.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
But... will this really get rid of the Kiramushi?

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
Beatrice's information is accurate. However, this won't
completely eliminate them... it will just keep them from
getting close.
\endtext

\text
Even so, I couldn't help but worry.
\endtext

\text
For that matter, how does Beatrice even know about things
like this?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Activating the barrier.
\endtext

\text
It bothered me, but for now, I had to focus on the task at
hand.
\endtext

\text
Risbell channels magic into the magic circle drawn on the
ground.
\endtext

\text
The anti-magic barrier.
\endtext

\text
It blocks all magic. But will it really work on the
Kiramushi―
\endtext

\text
The moment the barrier activates, my vision goes completely
white.
\endtext

\text
And by the time my sight returns to normal―

\endtext

\text
The Kiramushi inside the barrier had vanished.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I think... we can call that a success. Though it still needs
some fine-tuning.
\endtext

\text
Risbell lets out a sigh of relief.

\endtext

\text
There are still Kiramushi outside the barrier, but not a
single one can be seen inside.
\endtext

\text("Citizen")
Risbell-sama, what exactly is this...?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
If something strange happens to the Kiramushi and they start
attacking people, please run here, okay?

\endtext

\text
At Risbell's words, the citizens tilt their heads in
confusion but nod anyway.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Minerva-san, did you know about the Kiramushi's weakness?

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
No, that information wasn't disclosed to me. My role was to
defeat the Demon Lord. I think the higher-ups know,
though...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...But then, how does Beatrice-san know such things...?

\endtext

\text
Risbell ponders deeply.
\endtext

\text
I missed my chance to ask earlier, but I should have
questioned how she even knew in the first place.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
(...It's not impossible that Beatrice-san is in league with
the King of Slumber...)
\endtext

\text
But since it was Beatrice herself who told us how to escape
from the Kiramushi, that possibility seems unlikely.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
(Beatrice-san, just what do you know... and what are you
really thinking...?)

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
If you wanted to ask me something, wouldn't it have been
better to do so earlier?
\endtext

\text
Once again thrown into the prison, Verlnya directs her
question to Beatrice, who stands outside the cell.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
I couldn't ask before, so that's why I arranged for us to be
alone here like this.
\endtext

\text
Even the guard has been asked to leave, so now it's just
Beatrice and Verlnya here.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
Is it something you don't want others... no, that Demon Lord
to hear?

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...For a Structor, you've got good instincts.

\endtext

\text
Even now, Beatrice couldn't bring herself to fully trust
Verlnya.
\endtext

\text
The one who set in motion the fall of Hados. The one who
killed her parents... and her own enemy, Verlnya.
\endtext

\text
To be honest, compared to her, Minerva was far easier to
deal with.
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
That's perfect. There's also something about you that I'm
curious about.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...Do you really think I'll answer?
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
I think it's related to what you want to know as well.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...What is it?
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...That body of yours isn't an ordinary one, is it?

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
And what of it?
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
It's similar to us Structors, but... there's something
different about it.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
............
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
Just what are you?
\endtext

\text
As expected, you can't fool a Structor's eyes.

\endtext

\text
Especially since Incarnation was originally their technique.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
If you want to know, I'll tell you. But in exchange, will
you grant me a favor... my wish?

\endtext

\text
That's exactly why Beatrice came here to talk to Verlnya―

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I'm sorry, but I'll need everyone to stay here for a while.


\endtext

\text("Child")
Aww... I want to go home.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Sorry. This is important. It'll be over soon.

\endtext

\text
The citizens, gathered to test the barrier's effects, watch
Risbell's work with anxious curiosity.

\endtext

\text
All that's left is to explain what's happening to them, and
the mission in Bram will be complete.
\endtext

\text("Child")
No way!
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
H-hey, wait!
\endtext

\text
With a dash, the boy slips past Risbell and runs outside the
barrier.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Eh...?
\endtext

\text
――There was no warning. It felt like the ground beneath my
feet shook violently.
\endtext

\text
But it wasn't an earthquake. It was a different kind of
tremor, one that made my skin tingle... the stirring of
magical power...
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
No! Don't go outside the barrier―!
\endtext

\text
At Minerva's shout, Risbell reflexively dashed after the
boy, reaching out to grab him.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
No...!
\endtext

\text("Child")
Wah!?
\endtext

\text
But even though she caught the boy, it was already too late.
The two of them had ended up outside the barrier.
\endtext

\text
At the same moment as the second surge, the Kiramushi all
began to move at once.
\endtext

\text
The swarm of Kiramushi zipped around at such speed that
trails of light were left in their wake.
\endtext

\text("Child")
Whoa...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...!
\endtext

\text
But then, something changed in the Kiramushi.

\endtext

\text
Their tiny wings tore off, and the Kiramushi fell to the
ground.
\endtext

\text
Soon, their bodies turned a deep crimson... and in an
instant, they transformed into grotesque, leech-like
creatures.
\endtext

\text
The metamorphosis of the spawn―from Kiramushi to Yumekui.
\endtext

\text
Sensing Risbell outside the barrier, the swarm of Yumekui
leapt toward her.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Kya―!
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
Don't let go of the child...!
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Eh... kya!?
\endtext

\text
Minerva scooped Risbell up, and together with the boy,
brought her back inside the barrier.

\endtext

\text("Minerva")
Are you alright?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Y-yeah...
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
It looks like the feeding has begun.
\endtext

\text
With her sword at the ready, Minerva glared at the swarm of
Kiramushi outside the barrier.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Those things that looked like leeches just now...
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
Those must be the Yumekui.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
No way... I still have to put up barriers in the other
towns...!
\endtext

\text("Minerva")
...I'll wipe out at least the Yumekui here. Don't let any
humans leave the barrier.
\endtext

\text
With just those words, Minerva leapt alone into the midst of
the Kiramushi swarm.

\endtext

\text("Citizen 1")
Aaaaaaahhh!?
\endtext

\text("Citizen 2")
Stay away, stay... aaaaaaah!
\endtext

\text
Screams could be heard from outside the barrier.
\endtext

\text
Even if everyone inside was safe, those outside couldn't
escape being preyed upon by the King of Slumber.
\endtext

\text
I have to protect them, too.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
(If I can just expand the range of the barrier...!)
\endtext

\text("Citizen")
L-Lisbell-sama...!
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Everyone, please do not leave the barrier under any
circumstances!
\endtext

\text
Thud... The prison shook slightly from the aftershocks of
the battle.
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...It seems the feeding has begun.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Yeah, it looks like it.
\endtext

\text
There's no doubt the Yumekui will show up in this labyrinth,
too.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...Just give me the conclusion. I need to get back to Caym
quickly.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...You probably won't be satisfied with that. I'll keep it
brief.
\endtext

\text
Beatrice nodded in response.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
Your wish will not be granted.
\endtext

\text
Verlnya declared it firmly.
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
To incarnate, you need the magic power that fills this
world, and your own magic power...

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...But if you can't use your own magic power, then it's
hopeless.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
I see... So it's impossible after all. --Well, it can't be
helped.
\endtext

\text
Then, as if something had been lifted from her, Beatrice
smiled.
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
There you go again.
\endtext

\text
Seeing her like that, Verlnya tilted her head slightly.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Hm?
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
You and that man... Why are you able to make faces like
that?
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...I just don't understand.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
...If there's nothing you can do, then there's no point in
worrying about it.
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
So I just accept it. Besides, I always want to smile in
front of Caym.

\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
............
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Maybe you'll understand too, once you learn how to smile.

\endtext

\text
Beatrice walked away.
\endtext

\text("Verlnya")
...Hmm.
\endtext

\text
Left alone, Verlnya tried lifting the corners of her mouth
with her fingers.
\endtext

\text
But just mimicking the gesture didn't mean she could
understand it.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Intercept the invading Yumekui!
\endtext

\text("Goblin")
Yes, sir!
\endtext

\text
Caym clicked his tongue in irritation at the predator's
move, which came sooner than expected.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Are Risbell and the others not here yet...? Tch... For the
feeding to start at a time like this...!

\endtext

\text
Beatrice's warning had been right.
\endtext

\text
If he hadn't listened, there would have been major damage on
the surface for sure.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Sorry we're late!
\endtext

\text
―At that moment, Risbell came rushing in.
\endtext

\text
Just that was enough to calm Caym's irritation.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Alright, how's the surface?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
The Yumekui in Bram was temporarily eliminated thanks to the
barrier and Minerva-san.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Minerva-san is also going to the other cities to put up
barriers.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Then all that's left is here.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Right. As soon as Tiela-san and the others return, we'll
sweep out the Yumekui in the labyrinth!

\endtext
