"Into the Storm"

Emerging from long-distance Zero Sail now... Whoa, we nailed the positioning!

I can see the supercell surrounding this Lostbelt one thousand meters straight ahead!

Fooou!

Impressive. Even if this precision is only possible when embarking from the Wandering Sea, it is quite something to behold.

What's more, Ms. Sion tells me that we can expect this level of precision anywhere except the North and South Poles.

Unfortunately, we may have been a little too precise. At this distance, our only choice is to head straight into the storm wall immediately.

Mr. Goredolf, how are you

It would seem his fear of the poison has more or less overwhelmed him. He will not be of much use for the time being.

How about you, Mr. Fujimaru? Are you ready for this next phase?

？！

Good. Ms. Sion was kind enough to make some significant improvements to your Mystic Code.

It should be a good deal more useful both in keeping you alive and in aiding your performance as a Master.

I'll explain more once we arrive in the Lostbelt, but... Yes, Ms. Kyrielight? Is something the matter?

Oh, uh... No, it's nothing. I'm good to go as well!

(...I did feel the same warmth during that last Zero Sail as I did in Scandinavia, but)

Okay guys, that's enough! Ready or not, we're embarking on another Zero Sail!

We don't want to burn the Border's fuel unless we really have to, so I'm going to take advantage of the inertia we got by launching from the Wandering Sea!

We'll be emerging inside the Lostbelt without anything to guide us, just like we did in Scandinavi

Oh? Well, well, what's this now?

Good news, Gordy! It looks like Koyanskaya's inside the Chinese Lostbelt too!

Sh-she is!? Are you sure about that, Da Vinci!?

Yep! I got a pretty solid sample of her data yesterday, so there's no mistaking it! Now we can kill two birds with one stone!

Not only will this greatly improve our odds of emerging from Void Space, we can also ask her about an antidote once we capture her!

Meunière, set the anchor point from "Hypothetical/Living Human" to Koyanskaya!

Got it! But man, as if I didn't already have my hands full with driving this thing! Dammit, just when I could've used the old man's help!

？！

Very well then. In light of this new information, I believe a new course of action is in order.

We should cancel our search for Xiān Shuāi Míng Mài in favor of capturing Koyanskaya.

That would be a much surer way of neutralizing the poison Goredolf and Fujimaru consumed...

...and it would be one less threat to our future endeavors.

As for the Crypter and the Tree of Emptiness, our goals there would remain unchanged. We find and restrain the former, and cut down the latter.

Would that be acceptable to you, Director?

Y-yes, of course! That sounds great! Indeed, this is no time to be trembling in fright!

No more Mr. Nice Guy, Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya...!

The next time we meet, I'll see you pay for everything you've done!

Fou, fooou!

Hey now, don't get ahead of yourself, Gordy. We still have to capture her first, remember?

And even if we succeed at that, it won't amount to anything if we can't make her tell us where to find or how to make the antidote.

Understood. I will. Hold back. However. I will not show. Her mercy. We should. At least. Berate her. Right. After capturing her.

It is best. If we beat. This villain. So that. She can. Never again. Stand up. Or engage. In any. Evil schemes.

China is. My home. Lostbelt. Or not. Its air. And land. Should remain. The same.

As such I should have. No trouble defeating. This demon.

Thank you, Nezha! It's great to have your help!

...All right, we're now only four hundred meters away from the storm wall! Do it, Da Vinci!
