Momoi

*huff puff* Did we make it?!

Sensei? Midori? Aris? Is everyone okay?

Aris

My HP is not critical.

Midori

I-I'm fine. So is Sensei.

Momoi

Thank goodness... So this is the contraband storage room? It's a mess.

Midori

Broken glass all over... Drawers upended...

There was probably an explosion from the battle that did this. Karin's doing, perhaps?

Momoi

Anyway, Yuuka probably thought Aris would take the Mirror and run to the Game Development Department. Heh heh. She probably has no idea we'd come here ourselves.

We just need the Mirror, and Veritas can handle the rest.

Midori

Here it is! Key item obtained!

Momoi

Heehee. This is so exciting. Let's go back...

Aris

...?

Everyone, please mute yourselves.

Momoi

Huh?

Aris

Someone is coming. Based on the footsteps, they are alone.

Momoi

If it's only one person, we can ignore them or break through quickly. What should we do if Yuuka and the Maid Club come back?

Aris

...

Midori

Pause.

I've got a message from Hare.

(RUN OR HIDE! JUST DON'T, *bzzzzt*)

Momoi

Huh? What's that supposed to mean?

Midori

It's weird for Hare to be freaking out. Maybe there's a rat in the Veritas club room or something?

Aris

Identifying approaching target. Searching Millennium student list. Target confirmed.

Height: 4'9"... Dual SMGs... Dragon-patterned bomber jacket over a maid uniform...

Midori

Wha...?

Momoi

N-No way!

Midori

Hide!

Aris

Sensei! Your head is hidden, but your butt is poking out!

Midori

H-Hurry! We've gotta move!

Neru

...

Hmm. This place is a pit.

Momoi

(N-N-Neru?!)

Midori

(B-But why?! What in the world is she doing here?!)

Neru

Heh?

That whispering I'm hearin'?

Momoi

*gasp*

Midori

(Eek!)

Aris

(...)

(This girl... She is different from the rest.)

(I am feeling a new emotion. Is this...fear?)

(Our probability of victory in a battle under current conditions is unequivocally...zero percent!)

Neru

Let's see...

Under the desk, maybe?

*clomp*

*clomp*

Momoi

(Th-The suspense is killing me!)

Midori

(We're so dead...)

Momoi

(S-Sensei! What should we do?!)

Aris

(All she has to do is look down, and...!)

???

U-Um, excuse me!

Neru

Heh?

Yuzu

N-Neru! It's an emergency!

Momoi

*gasp*

Midori

(Y-Yuzu?!)

Neru

And you are...?

Yuzu

M-My name's Yuzu, and I'm with Seminar.

The robots are out of c-control! It's a disaster!

Akane and Karin are trying, but it's just...

Neru

Huh? We've had those bots for a while, yeah? Shouldn't they be set up already?

Yuzu

I-I'm not sure... But they needed help, and I heard y-you were here and I...

Neru

*sigh* Guess I gotta do everything around here.

Yuzu

I-I'll stay and clean up. I don't have any ammo or experience, so I-I'm s-scared of fighting...

Neru

Not that it's really any of my business...

...but you should remember the most important thing in a fight isn't weapons or experience.

Yuzu

Pardon?

Neru

It's guts, kid.

And you already got that in spades, I reckon.

Not just anyone can waltz up and ask ME a favor in a situation like this.

Yuzu

H-H-Huh?! I, uh...thank you.

Neru

See ya around, kid.

Yuzu

*gulp*

*flop*

Yuzu

I-I thought I was dead for sure.

Momoi

Yuzuuu!

Midori

That was amazing, Yuzu! You saved us!

Yuzu

I'm glad I made it in time.

A-Anyway, that thing in Aris' hands must be...

Aris

Correct.

I present the object of our quest, which will abate mankind's destruction...

...the legendary Mirror.

Yuzu

...!

Momoi

We'll have to save the party for later. If Neru comes back, we're all dead meat!

Yuzu

There are a lot of robots ahead. Be careful!

Midori

R-Right! Our mission isn't over yet!

Yuzu

To reach our true goal, the G.BIBLE, we have to get the Mirror to the Veritas club room!

Aris

Time to pull out. I will guard the rear. Your orders, Sensei?

Sensei

"Let's make for the club room!"

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Midori

Right!

Momoi

We'll make it back, no matter what!

Aris

Equipment set and ready to go!
