The night is the best cover for any ill intention.

🔇 N/A

I think about this every time I walk in the shadow.

🔇 N/A

Be it monsters, spirits, or demons -

🔇 N/A

darkness shelters them all indiscriminately, as if they are no different than the stars or the moon.

🔇 N/A

I lifted my head and squinted, trying to see far through the misty air. The flame mark beside her caught my attention.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

She's Raiden Mei, ex-leader of the Shadow Guards serving the castellan.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Ex?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

Right. Now she's a refugee at large, not much different from you.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

...

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

She's wanted for?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

The official story is "stealing forbidden scripts" and "learning dark arts".

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

What's the unofficial version?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

She's framed, plain and simple.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Creditability?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

100%. Besides, you should keep in mind that she is equally good at tracking and stalking as you.

🔇 N/A

The uncomfortable conversation just had to float up this moment.

🔇 N/A

This masked man calls himself Ferryman, and claimed to be an liaison sent to Far East by the Overseer.

🔇 N/A

When I first arrived in Yae Machi, the contact signs written over the street corners led me to him.

🔇 N/A

He is a person of mysteries, but one thing is for sure: his intel gathering is first class.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

So, what does this wanted ex-Shadow Guard have to do with our mission?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

"Stealing forbidden scripts" and "learning dark arts" are false charges, but there might be some truth to it.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

I did some digging on Raiden Mei's background.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

Her father Raiden Ryoma seems to be the successor of an ancient sect, and he was imprisoned for a lab accident.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

Intel on the lab accident seems to be in tight control, so I took a detour and began to look into the ancient sect.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

And?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

The sect is after mechanical parts which can fully replace human organs.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

It's almost too sophisticated for a town like Yae Machi, but not so much for Schicksal.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

That's how it appears at first glance, but Mr. Ryoma's research goes beyond that.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

If all the human body parts can be replaced by artificial components, is the soul transferred to the robotic shell?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

Mechanical shell with a human soul. That's playing god, an absolutely forbidden territory.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Now I remember one of the Zakti Runes from the six Ninja Arts has some kind of soul controlling power.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

Correct. The powers of three Zakti Runes have been confirmed. The Path of Naraka rune is able to manipulate Driftsouls.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Souls that wander aimlessly in the realm of the living?

🔇 N/A

I shook my head and dragged myself back from recollection. The Raiden girl seemed to be talking to the flame mark.

🔇 N/A

Considering she is also a stealth master, I tried to close the distance without giving my scent away.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Who is there?!

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

!

🔇 N/A

My feet froze in an instant. It's not because of Raiden Mei's shouting, but the scent of someone powerful.

🔇 N/A

???

I told you there's no escape.

🔇 N/A

Mei

I didn't expect you to hunt me down yourself.

🔇 N/A

???

You've served me long. You should know better.

🔇 N/A

???

I always prefer the fair and square way rather than stabbing someone in the back.

🔇 N/A

???

Besides, I can't even hold a candle to you when it comes to walking in the shadow.

🔇 N/A

Mei

But you found me still.

🔇 N/A

???

Yes, thanks to the Path of Deva rune.

🔇 N/A

Mei

Runes resonate with each other... That's why.

🔇 N/A

???

You have the answer now. Do you wish to run again or come with me quietly?

🔇 N/A

The conversation was short lived and lasted only few breaths. I held my breath and watched from a safe distance.

🔇 N/A

The very instant the moon was clouded, Mei dashed in the opposite direction with lightning speed.

🔇 N/A

???

Runs like a rabbit. She seemed not worried about her precious flame mark at all...

🔇 N/A

???

Never mind, I'll get her first and ask her about the mark later.

🔇 N/A

Having made up her mind, the woman gave chase immediately, leaving the flame mark on its own.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

(...I don't know what it is, but there's definitely more to the flame mark than meets the eye.)

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

(It's a good opportunity to check it closely.)

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches to the battlefield, where the Captain will have control of Yae Sakura's [Darkbolt Jonin] battlesuit. >

Activate the Fire Sigil and defeat the sigil guardian.

< Activate the Fire Sigil. >

< Defeat the enemies. >

< Enemies defeated. >

KLANG!

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

(Phew... that was close. Didn't expect an angry golem popping out of the flame mark.)

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

Huh? This golem...

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

!

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

...Ferryman, I'd appreciate it if you give me a hint when you start talking in my head.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

You seem to see and hear everything I see and hear. Is this some sort of ninjutsu too?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

I can't explain this. You can take that as a yes.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

...

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

So what's odd about this golem?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

It seems to be the same model from Ryoma's research before he was arrested.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Hard to believe it's a coincidence.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

Indeed. The Path of Naraka rune may have the answer we seek.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

You mean...

🔇 N/A

Despite a brief moment of hesitation, I took out the rune as he suggested.

🔇 N/A

As if being pulled by an unknown force, a cluster of light drifted out of the golem.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

It's...

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

This is a Driftsoul. Contrary to popular belief, looks like Ryoma's research had entered the final stage.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

The Driftsoul responded to the Ninja Art, which means...

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Ryoma has the Path of Naraka rune, and he probably used it in his experiments.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

Lab accidents, intel curb, arrest and imprisonment... So that's what really went down.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

From Mei's talk with the stranger, it's clearly that Mei is an insider of her father's project.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

That's right. Ryoma's wanted daughter makes a much easier target than himself.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

But the stranger after Mei is a force to be reckoned with. Taking her head-on is not a good idea.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

It's necessary to know your enemies beforehand, but I'm afraid you won't be able to avoid her anyway.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

What's going on now?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

The one and only senbonzakura outfit and the hair color of snow should be hint enough.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

"The blooming sakura buried in snow": Kallen the Castellan.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

The legendary warrior who defeated the Demon Fox alongside the miko and rebuilt Yae Machi from the ashes.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

...So it's her.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

We should catch up and see if Mei can lose the castellan. We'll give her a hand if necessary.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

No need to hesitate over the right strategy. In any scenario, we just have to get involved one way or the other.
