*Pant* *pant*... Impressive!

The black raincoats are retreating! Run while you can!

Thanks!

Don't thank us. If you have the strength, you should fight alongside us!

Did you see him swing down from the fourth floor and graze my head like that? If I didn't freeze his weapon with the Originium FrostNova left in my backpack, I wouldn't be standing here!

Very impressive. They're just like the swordsmen in the gas masks back in Ursus. Even stronger, really!

You almost died, what are you so excited about? The masked swordsmen you're talking about were the Ursus Royal Guard! We only met five of them that time!

Did you count how many raincoats there are?

Does that mean we're even more awesome than before?

This is not a time for jokes. Their techniques and their equipment mean they must have a city... Even the craftsmen of multiple cities supplying them.

There's no way we can beat them back on our own. Don't even think about trying to kill them!

I just... I just think I did pretty well.

The point is this situation is way beyond what we can handle... We can't hold out for long!

Quiet!

Reporting in.

Sister, these are... Faust's people.

*Cough* *cough*... I recognize them.

FrostNova, we received your message, and...

The temperature is as low as it will go!

The uniformed ones are no match for us, but watch out for the raincoats!

Where's Nesti? We need more firepower. We need suppressing fire!

He says okay!

I don't think Sister's body can take much more. She can't keep the temperature down!

We can't break the pavement?

No way! If we do that, how will our people and the locals get to the exit?

We're sure this is the only way out?

Yes. The other ones have all been destroyed. All that's left is the one we dug.

How much time do we have? Or how much time does Sister have?

Why must it come down to tormenting her so?

They're almost done!

I'll go get Sister!

Sister, we've just about got this group evacuated!

And the fighting... how goes?

We've got the L. G. D. completely suppressed. The terrain favors us, and they can't make use of their superior numbers.

But...

You have nothing to hide.

Lungmen's raincoat brigade doesn't care about the terrain, or the people. They... they're going to level everything.

They're purging the slums

And those uninfected Lungmenites we saw...?

I'm afraid that was their doing.

......

Sister, stop your Arts! We can handle these ones ourselves. Just rest for a bit!

*Cough* *cough*...

Sister!

The temperature just cracked the lower limit!

She's doing it...! The superstructure is weakening!

Smash their footing and push them back! Fire!

......

They're falling back! Keep it up!

Faster! More! Faster!

R- right!

That's our big sister! She really did it!

......

Petrova, what's wrong? Why do you look so gloomy?

...Sister?

Young, come here.

No.

Come!

I can't!

You have to. Sister doesn't have much time left.
