Start
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
… Things have been tough lately. I just have this feeling something terrible is going to happen to this town. But...
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Because of what I've done over the past few days, no one seems to believe me...
Rita
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
True. Plus, we can't be so sure that after the main shaft is taken, any Honkai Beasts nearby will go berserk.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Right. If nothing happens…
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Then you'll see a new addition to the fairy tale section of the book store called "The Honkai Beast is Coming."
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Theresa's silence put Sirin at a loss for words.
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I shouldn't have said anything... I'm sorry.
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It's a harmless joke compared to everyone doubting me and the future of this town. I don't mind.
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Theresa crossed her arms in an uneasy stance. It was clear something was on her mind.
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
So, are you afraid?
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
… Yes.
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
To keep stringing people along or sit idly by. How am I supposesuppose to choose?
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
The expression on Sirin's face became grave. She must have recalled what had happened to TeRiRi.
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
(So she was scared too...)
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
(I'm afraid I'll lose the hope of finding Senpai, I'm afraid I'll forget all about it, and that I'll be alone...)
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
(That I had even done something so cruel...)
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Hey, I'm the one that should be worried. What's got you looking all pale?
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Theresa's concerned and inquisitive look got under Sirin's skin. She puffed out her cheeks defiantly.
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I... I'm a bit cold, don't worry about me.
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Uh... What should I do…
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
What's got you troubled? You've got a clear mind and there's no room for hesitation.
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
What are you talking about? I'm really stuck here!
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Hmph. Don't be stupid. You don't even know what it is you're thinking about.
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Aren't you the one that's supposed to be looking for anything out of the ordinary in town and alerting everyone if there is anything?
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
You've fought this battle every step of the way by yourself. It's strange you'd give up at the last step.
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Well, maybe you're right. Deep down I've already made up my mind.
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Hmph. Dummy.
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Since it's my responsibility to keep this town safe, how can I just back down when I get scared?
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Think about it, if worse comes to worseworse, what are you going to do...?
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Sirin was flustered as she noticed Theresa's expression had become grave.
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
l-l'm not trying to make things difficult. I just... I just want to know…
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
(I want to know what TeRiRi was thinking at that time...)
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
What's the problem? As long as I'm still Theresa, my mind is made up. There's no challenge I can't overcome!
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
(Of course, I should have known... they really are dumb.)
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Wait.
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I'll help. With us there, you don't have to be alone.
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Really? Thank you! Your friends are right, you really are a good person—!
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Oooofff...! I can't breathe…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Theresa gave Sirin a tight hug. Though her face turned red, she didn't break free.
Bronie
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Ohhhh, how sweet~
Bronie
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I've got it all right here. We should give the recording a name. How about,"The Tales of Little Sirin."
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Hey! Bronie...!
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Tucked away in a corner, Bronie was sticking her tongue out playfully.
Bronie
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Now that we've made up our minds, let's put together a plan.
Bronie
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I need to head over into town, Theresa. I'll need you to give me a description...

Bronie
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Can everyone remember their missions?
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Who made her our general?
Bronie
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
You look pretty enthusiastic. Why don't you sum things up then?
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Delta reluctantly pouted.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I'll go first.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Rita, Delta, and I were tasked with laying traps where the town meets the forest to ward off Honkai Beasts, which are afraid of flares.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Then, we'll give the signal and try to get the herd's attention and lead them deeper into the forest. That way, they won't go berserk and break into town.
Rita
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
And I'll drive out the beasts that do make it into town.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
… Right. The main goal is to re-install the mechanism you've prepared.
Bronie
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Delta, you underestimate the mission. I'll check on you myself in a bit.
Theresa
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It's my turn. I'll go door to door letting everyone know to stock up on water and food and get their weapons ready for any Honkai Beasts. And then, I'll join back with everyone.
Bronie
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It seems Theresa's made up her mind. So now…
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Rita
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Sirin, are you okay?
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I'm good. I'll use all of my protective magic once I get the signal…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Sirin worriedly tightened her grip around the edge of her clothing.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It's too much. There are other options.
Sirin
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It's alright... It's my job, I can handle it.
Bronie
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
And after you finish your part, remember to stand at the points in front of the forest entrance!
Captain
Delta

< Interact with each waypoint and place a trap. >


< After placing a trap: >
Delta
Captain
< After placing 5 traps: >
Delta
Captain

Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
The traps are set. Next is…
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Hey, you learn faster than I expected. You've gotten everything down pat.
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Following the voice, I could see that Delta had already finished her tasks and was sitting in the tree next to me, watching me closely.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
When did you get here?
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
A little while ago.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
That's something else. I didn't hear you at all.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
You're totally unprepared for me? I'm your enemy.
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Delta landed on the ground lightly.

Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
l got it, I got it. But for the time being, we're working together, so I've got nothing to worry about.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Huh. You're a weird one.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Makes sense. When faced with something someone doesn't understand, they'll often describe it as being weird.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Speak now if you have any doubts. There's still some time before everything begins.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
What you want to do seems difficult or even impossible, and most of the time, bad for you.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
But you do it wishfully, and truly believe you can make it happen.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Is that a compliment?
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I truly don't understand.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Delta turned away awkwardly.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Maybe you think we're weird, or to put it more poetically, romantics.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
But what about you? It isn't a good idea for you to stick with us through this, right?
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I think differently than you, probably because I was originally a warrior.
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Delta seemed caught in a distant memory.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It's clear, you were certainly an excellent fighter.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Oh? Are you trying to kill me with kindness? Forget it, I'm not interested in giving in to my enemy.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I mean it. You know how to fight, and make clear judgments in uncertain situations. It's clear to everyone.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
So that's what you consider excellence.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
And frankly, excellent fighters don't just fight hard, they have to know when to throw in the towel.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I thought I had gotten used to giving up, but every time I had to... l just couldn't.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Perhaps I'm not a good fighter at all.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Do you feel guilty about it? Or... even sorry?
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I don't do those sorts of feelings.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Don't be so hard on yourself. Your past experiences have made you who you are today. This is who you are. You don't need to compare yourself to others, just be yourself.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Wouldn't that be... selfish?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Not at all.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
You asked me just now why we always try to do the impossible. Maybe it's because I've really done what you claim to be "impossible".
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It might sound strange, but at the time, even after having failed, I never wondered if it was possible or what others would choose to do. The only thing I could think of was—
< Screen fades to black. >
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
"But, I can't stop here."

Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It's easy to change your mind, but hard to stay true to yourself. I prefer to be an idealist and work toward an ending where everyone wins.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
There I go, rambling on to myself.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It's alright.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Don't worry. Even if the way we think might be different, you don't have to be so strict with yourself.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I won't be.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Besides, we're fighting side by side for now. We can talk about being enemies later. You won't need to worry about us having any reservations toward you.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I told you I won't!
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Who said you could act all mature! T-That's right, look at this trap! It's just out in the open!
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Hm, you're right.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Go and fix it before Bronie sees.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Right away.
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
< Screen fades to white. >
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
(Just as persistent as someone I know.)
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
(Ugh, why did I come up with such a ridiculous idea. You two are clearly... clearly...)
Delta
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
(... Exact opposites.)
