Section 1 "The Power of Friendship"

Okay, let's start the briefing!

Doctor, you seem more excited than usual. Did something good happen?

... ...

...Anyway, let's start the briefing!

What? Aren't I always like this? Haha, or maybe it's because I've been staying up late lately.

Doctor, sorry I haven't been able to help you out even though we're in such a tense situation.

Oh, what's wrong, Fujimaru? You're looking at me strangely.

Hahaha, maybe you're tired? Still, this is all to save the world, so I want you to do your best!

？！

Fou...

Now Fou's looking at the doctor suspiciously.

...Is there something you're hiding from us?

Actually, why is the staff surrounding us right now?

...Well, a minor Singularity has been detected, see...

Obviously we can't just leave it there. I would like you to investigate and correct it.

Y-Yes. Master and I are all ready to go.

Now I don't think anything will hinder this mission, but...

... ...

...All right. In any event, please enter the Coffins! Get ready to Rayshift!

Doctor!?

？！

The briefing's over, so you need to head over there now!

Wait, Doctor! You still haven't told us where we're Rayshifting to!

...Oh, someone dropped some documents here. This won't do at all.

Um, your Rayshift destination... Um, how do you read this again? Uh... I think it was...

Castle Csejte.

Yeah that's it! Got it? Time to head out!

Fou!?

Doctor! Did you just mention that one castle name we can never just let slide!?

Oh that's right! It's almost Halloween!

It was supposed to be a cordial gathering, but last year's Death Concert is still haunting us!

Senpai, it's too dangerous! That music will destroy your psyche if you continuously listen to it!

Right!

I have only bad feelings about this, so I'm going to take a voluntary leave of absence!

？！

That's not going to work! All staff, scrum!

Once we save the world, I'll personally review your current salary!

It's time to show them the muscle you've gained from training with Leonidas!

Th-That's not fair, Doctor!

Fouuu!

Let's do it! Crouch! Bind! Set!

Force them in!

Yeah!

Eep!

Fine! When you do, I'll welcome you with some pumpkin dishes!

Hey! Don't go starting rumors about me!

？！

In any event, head out!

Go, uh, keep Elisabeth company again this year!

...Meaning, just go to her concert, okay? Nothing makes an idol like her sadder than an empty venue! And you shouldn't make idols cry!

Here, I'll even give you some of my glow sticks! Now then, commence forced Rayshift!

...

Yes, the Rayshift succeeded. Looks like Fou is here too.

Fou...

Yes...

I didn't think we would come here again...

？！

...Communications seem fine. Doctor, the Rayshift succeeded.

However, we won't let this slide.

I kind of hope that you will... Anyway, how are things looking over there?

It looks like...a graveyard.

We can get back at the doctor later. Let's keep moving for now.

...Huh?

Sorry, Master.

If I remember correctly, last year when we came here, there were ghosts all over the forest.

We're in a graveyard, but I don't see any ghosts. I wonder what's going on.

Hmm. I'm getting a reaction of some kind. It's very close to you.

Fou!

Hmm... Bugs.

Completely unrelated to Halloween, but a nuisance nonetheless.

Let's take them out!

Phew. The battle is over. Everything has been annihilated, so it should safe.

Shall we head into town, Master? Although I'm pretty sure Servants are going to show up and get in our way...

Master, don't be discouraged.

It'll be fine. I'll be with you! We are one as Master and Servant!

Up until now you were so optimistic about everything!

It'll be fine. When we get back... Yes, when we get back we'll have Amadeus play us some music!

We can request some really soothing music to listen to...

？！

Looks like you're remotivated to continue the mission. Thank goodness...

Now, let's head towards town!

Fou...?

Fou, what's wrong? ...Could it be...

Th-That's right! What you don't see can't hurt you.

W-We're just going to start running!? Wait, Master! Master!

？！

Achoo!

...Heh. It looks like my stealth Rayshifting worked. Hehehe... Be afraid! Be very afraid!

Achoo!

...It's so cold. I didn't know the mountains in the West were this cold... That's a problem... I guess I'm dressed a bit too light...?
