Prologue

Characters Present

Seele

Start

✦

Have you ever felt the grooves on a record?

🔇 N/A

✦

Through these grooves of varying depth, soundwaves were translated into vibrations, and thus reproduced.

🔇 N/A

✦

Therefore, record crafters could see the waveforms of music in the grooves without dropping the needle, and by just feeling these grooves, they could make the music...

🔇 N/A

✦

play in their head.

🔇 N/A

✦

For the two girls, the needle hadn't dropped, and they were blind to the music that would play.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

That's true... but are we really unable to help?

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Our powers are supposed to be more special in this world...

🔇 N/A

✦

After PROMETHEUS confirmed the nature of Sa through codes related to the Cocoon, the others had left, each approaching the truth in their own way.

🔇 N/A

✦

Yet it was at this time that the two girls holding the Sage's authority found themselves without a direction—

🔇 N/A

✦

They hadn't noticed that, regardless of how small their actions were, they were still on the record, and slowly cutting their own grooves into it.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Isn't this normal, that Sage...

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

If she could do anything about Sa's influence, we needn't go through all this trouble.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

We'll be needed when badder foes are spotted. It's not like we can count on a certain Herrscher.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

I can't think of any notable enemy that she's beaten.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

You can say that, but if we don't do anything...

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Seriously? That isn't our responsibility, why must you get yourself involved?

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

But if it makes you feel better... If I'm not mistaken, everyone's trying to investigate something right now.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Is there anyone better than us in this regard? I think not!

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Are you saying...

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Follow me. We found this ability for free, so why not put it to use?

🔇 N/A

< Head to the pointed destination. >

Seele

< Defeat three White Sword of Damocles. Story resumes after two of them are defeated. >

Seele

< When a survived White Sword of Damocles retreats. >

Seele

< Head to the pointed destination. >

Seele

< Defeat two Black Wine of Theramenes and one White Sword of Damocles. Story resumes after all enemies are defeated. >

Seele

✦

This is...

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Wait, Seele, don't...

🔇 N/A

✦

Her warning was too late. As if a cabin was carved out of a vacuum, a tremendous pull suddenly appeared—

🔇 N/A

✦

Compared to the boundless Sea of Quanta, the bubble universe that contained them was but a tiny ship in the universe.

🔇 N/A

✦

But afterward, the space they were thrown into was not an inky night sky. It even felt... somewhat familiar.

🔇 N/A

ChapterOW33 Picture 03 (Story Background)

Seele

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Strange, this place... seems to be where Hare...

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

This explains. Looks like the bridge-building of that woman had some side effects on this world.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

It didn't take us back to the proper world, but instead gave the Sand Servants an opportunity to come to the holy city.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

To think this would happen... But even then, we shouldn't be attacked by them.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Who knows, but since this world is under Sa's influence, anything could happen. We should deal with the problems at hand first.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Ah... Do we need to split up?

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Good point. We did confirm the order, but we can't ensure that more Oracles won't go crazy in the holy city... Then we'll stay here and fend off those Sand Servants?

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Okay, leave the holy city to me. And... somehow I feel... the Oracles are attacking us... for a particularly important reason.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

... Reason? Such as?

🔇 N/A

✦

The girl pondered for a moment, but couldn't find a more accurate expression.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Could it be... something really important has already begun without us knowing?

🔇 N/A

✦

...

🔇 N/A

✦

......

🔇 N/A

✦

Despite their keen intuition, they weren't record crafters. In any case, the needle hadn't been dropped yet.

🔇 N/A

✦

But the remark that "something has begun"... was perhaps true.

🔇 N/A

✦

Have you ever felt the grooves on a record?

🔇 N/A

✦

The moment they were cut into it, the music it would play became a certainty.

🔇 N/A

✦

Which side should be stabilized first?

🔇 N/A
