I'm so glad that Teslovik is fine... My whole life would've been ruined if all my drafts were burnt into ashes.

Guys!
Impossible... what just happened... an enemy attack?
I'm gonna go in there and save them!
Snezhana, don't do anything rash! It's still too early to tell if the enemy attack is over!
Even the number of casualties is...
How can this be!
I thought... I finally found a place to stay...
(One by one, the past events came to my mind.)
Darn! It must be Rasparta's doing... Darn!
Calm down, Awakener. Don't let hatred go to your head.
I'm now reporting to Lieutenant General Mori.
Wait. Look over there...
We looked to where Eriri's finger pointed at...
A figure ran out from the smoke. Judging from her running posture, she did not seem to be injured.
She seemed to see us and waved at us while running toward us.
T-That's Lieutenant Fenriru! You're still alive!
(We were so excited to see Lieutenant Fenriru now...)
What are you waiting for? Come and help put out the fire!
Huh?
Darn, the experiment stats were wrong again... Looks like we need to recalculate them again.
Huh? Isn't that an enemy attack?
Worse than that! My stats are wrong!
Uh...
More and more people came out from the smoke. They were so impatient that they kept complaining as they walked.
Shelly was even wearing only her pajamas, and looked sleepy-eyed. She seemed to get woken up from her dream by the alarm.
Okay, everyone, before the staff put out the fire, let's stay outside for a while!
2. Stage 126-10, after the battle
19 linesAfter the hustle and bustle, the fire was finally extinguished.
All right, everyone! Let's celebrate the safe return of the Nova Squad to Teslovik!
Sparse applause.
Meanwhile, let's celebrate your safe return!
A chorus of boos from the audience.
Ahem! Guys! You can't do that! The Nova Squad has brought back a new Relic component this time! How can you boo these people who have worked so hard?
No, no, they are booing you...
What's going on here, Lieutenant Fenriru?
What is it?
You didn't get the stats wrong before, did you? You once said that explosives science was developed on the blown corpses of researchers.
It's true... I am a little bit absent-minded lately and made a little slip-up...
But why?
What... That is...
Yeah! But why for what?
!!!
You greedy bastard! Don't come any closer! I won't let you defile these innocent children in Teslovik!
You filthy thing!
... Hmph! What nonsense are you talking about, Fenriru?
Aiken!
