158. Watchtower

Watchtower is under siege again. It seems they have grown accustomed to this... I suppose we'll continue working with them in the future.

3 scenes, 35 lines

1. Watchtower

15 lines

Eastrise, inside the Forbidden City's Grand Library, three high-ranking young ladies are discussing the latest information.

Shiyu

Bifrost really can do it.

The organization Teslovik, which masters cutting-edge technology and military power, cannot be simply dismissed.

Firentia

This is a good thing.

Teslovik relies on Bifrost, the former has to be cautious when dealing with Rasparta, while the latter is burdened by the former's reputation of prison robbery and is suppressed by us.

Raeon

Indeed, that's the case.

The purpose of Niz sending people to establish Teslovik is directly aimed at Rasparta, and has nothing to do with the international situation.

Nowadays, Teslovik has gradually taken shape, being a bit too big as a subsidiary of Bifrost Industries, yet a bit too small to be independent.

Shiyu

So, they set up a flag, Rasparta.

Those who know about Rasparta are aware that they are a group of lunatics who want to destroy the world, but they are just hidden so deeply that no one has the energy to deal with them.

Now that Teslovik has taken the initiative to make Rasparta their enemy, there will inevitably be many people among the four major forces who will support them.

Firentia

Do we need to support them?

Raeon

Remove the bounty from the wanted poster, but keep the wanted poster itself.

As long as they don't affect us, let them be. Once they interfere with our plans, immediately dispatch the Luminary Guard to carry out the arrest.

2. Stage 158-10, before the battle

15 lines

At the corner of a quiet street, a fluffy tail suddenly appeared.

???

Um...uh...it seems like the person has already left.

Taisei

Damn leopard woman, next time we must have a good face-to-face fight!

Chiraha

Your tail also has the function of detecting enemies?

Taisei

Of course! As soon as I show up, the nearby Luminary Guards will definitely come running and shouting.

If there is no sound, it means there are no Luminary Guards nearby, which is very convenient!

Chiraha

...I shouldn't have had expectations for you.

Next, we need to inform everyone at Watchtower to be careful, as the Captain of Luminary Guard, Winno, has returned.

...Hmm? Wait a moment, Yanling and her friends sent us a message.

Ah! Teslovik has become independent from Bifrost.

Taisei

What what?

Is it good news?

Chiraha

In theory, it should be good news... but...

Watchtower's recent situation is not very good. After Teslovik's independence, asking for their help again...

They won't raise the price, will they?

3. Stage 158-10, after the battle

5 lines

In the depths of the Eastrise Forbidden City's Grand Library, there is the Dragon Orchid Repository.

Zawa

The predictable future has become even more blurred...

Something that is being born is constantly shaking the future I have chosen.

Perhaps, for Awakener, I should be more proactive.

Well, next time show up dressed in the style he likes.
