Serika

Shiroko, everyone's waiting. Hurry up!

Hoshino

Shiroko! We have to get going. We're late.

Shiroko

*tchhhk* I'm going as fast as I can. I'm almost there.

Nonomi

Don't go too fast, Shiroko! And don't talk while you're riding your bike. You still have to stay safe.

Shiroko

*tchhhk* Yes, understood. See you soon.

Ayane

Haha... After being rejected so many times, we're finally meeting with the General Student Council.

Hoshino

Seriously. It used to make me so angry that I've even considered wiping out the General Student Council. Look at us now.

Serika

The General Student Council?! Hoshino, wouldn't that be too much, even for you?

Hoshino

Of course it is. Heh. I'm old with back pains now. I was just reminiscing about when I was a feisty youth like you.

Ayane

Hahaha... That really wasn't too long ago.

Nonomi

It may have not been too long ago, but everything is different. We have Sensei now.

Hoshino

I don't know why I've been so nostalgic recently. Remember when you showed up out of nowhere, Nonomi? And meeting Shiroko for the first time.

Serika

You're acting like an old fart is what you're doing, Hoshino.

Ayane

I've actually never heard the story of you and Shiroko meeting for the first time.

Hoshino

Really? I've never talked about it?

Shiroko was a wild girl when we first met. It took me and Nonomi a lot of work to capture her...

Serika

What do you mean by "capture"...?

Nonomi

Hoshino, that story is...

Hoshino

We don't need to hide anything anymore, Nonomi.

Nonomi

I don't want to either, but...it's difficult. Shiroko doesn't remember much before coming to Abydos.

Ayane

She had amnesia?

Serika

What?! Are we in a soap opera or something?

Nonomi

Well...

Shiroko

*tchhhk* ...Something's off here.

Serika

What do you mean?

Ayane

Shiroko...?

Shiroko

I've never seen such a huge scale of PMC troops like this.

Trucks, tanks, soldiers... They're all heading toward the same place.

They're... They're going to Abydos Desert.

I need to check this out.

Ayane

Sh-Shiroko?!

Serika

What do you think you're doing?! It's way too dangerous.

Hoshino

C'mon now, Shiroko. Let's group up and we'll figure it out together.

Shiroko

I'll be careful. I'm only going to scout out the situation and report back.

Maybe...this has something to do with why Sensei called us.

Ayane

H-Hey...

Shiroko

Huh? The ground shook just now... Was that an earthquake?

I see a strange light... It's kind of dark... No, it's like a rainbow... What is this...?

Ayane

...?!

Sensei

"...!!!"

PMC Soldier A

Wh-What?!

PMC Soldier B

Are you an idiot? How can you miss from this close?

PMC Soldier A

I-I don't understand? Is the barrel bent or something?

O-Okay... Then I'll just aim like this?

...A percussion failure? What?!

PMC Soldier B

You fool! Let me do it!

PMC Soldier A

W-Wait! The general said not to kill...

...

PMC Soldier B

...

Sensei

"..."

PMC Soldier A

N-No way... How did even a single bullet...?! What is this?!

Arona

As long as I'm here, no one will hurt Sensei!

I, Super Arona, the OS of the Shittim Chest, am Sensei's guardian!

This is your chance, Sensei! Run!

...Huh?

This...?

Something...is coming...

PMC Soldier A

Wh-What was that?!

PMC Soldier B

An earthquake...?

Sensei

"(The power of the Shittim Chest is...)"

"(Arona...?!)"

"(M-My head...!)"

PMC Soldier A

Hmph... Sensei passed out. We just had to make sure they didn't run away, so this'll do.

Let's move Sensei to the destination.

Ayane

...!

Nonomi

I-I can feel it from here too!

Shiroko

This...the Chroma...

Hoshino

Shiroko! What's happening?! Come back! COME BACK NOW!

Nonomi

Shiroko, please answer! Pick up the phone... Shiroko!

Nonomi

She... She's not picking up.

Serika

What the heck is she doing?! Shiroko! Answer, you dummy!

Ayane

Oh... Ugh... Wh-What should we do?

Nonomi

Let's keep it together! Ayane, contact Sensei! They'll know what to do!

Ayane

Y-You're right! Okay... Sensei...

I...I can't get a hold of Sensei either?

Serika

S-Sensei either...? Wh-What's happening...

Nonomi

Wait! She picked up! Shiroko? Shiroko, are you there?

Ayane

Shiroko?!

Serika

Can you hear me?! Say something! What's happening over there? Are you okay?

Nonomi

Shiroko, please! Shiroko...?

Serika

We lost her again...

Nonomi

Shi...

SHIROKO!!
