Start

With all his shurikens deflected, the craftsman took a fatal blow from Kongming and went out.

🔇 N/A

The Shadow Guard's unexpected moves took Kongming and me by surprise and proved to be difficult to beat.

🔇 N/A

The stabbing pain intensified and I felt strength draining away with cold sweat.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

Your partner won't be able to help you now.

🔇 N/A

Shadow Guard

Life is death, and in death we live.

🔇 N/A

Shadow Guard

Such is our destiny.

🔇 N/A

Kongming dashed ahead to strike the Shadow Guard's heart, but he pulled the craftsman's body to block the attack.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

Heheh!

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

Shielding yourself with your partner's corpse. I wonder how would he feel if he came back to life.

🔇 N/A

Shadow Guard

Heh... I believe your partner would gladly block for you too in his death.

🔇 N/A

The Shadow Guard flashed behind Kongming's back for a lightning fast slash.

🔇 N/A

Captain

Ugh...

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

Captain!

🔇 N/A

Captain

I blocked it... Don't worry, I'm fine...

🔇 N/A

Shadow Guard

You're distracted.

🔇 N/A

Shadow Guard

You have a weakness. You can't beat me.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

We'll see about that.

🔇 N/A

It was then I realized the dying Shadow Guard on the ground was missing.

🔇 N/A

The cold, black dagger came again at Kongming. I meant to block it, but my body felt heavy and clumsy like a rock.

🔇 N/A

???

That's enough.

🔇 N/A

The Shadow Guard froze as Rita's scythe had come less than an inch from his neck.

🔇 N/A

Scores of guards approached. The shining spear tips around him meant any rash move would forfeit his life.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

You've lost, traitor.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

Who is your master?

🔇 N/A

Shadow Guard

Heh...

🔇 N/A

Shadow Guard

I'm doing no one's bidding. My mission is to... correct...

🔇 N/A

Captain

Poison in his mouth!

🔇 N/A

The guards came close to clamp his mouth open, but it's too late.

🔇 N/A

Shadow Guard

You reap what you sow... No escape from consequences...

🔇 N/A

With a final grim laugh, the Shadow Guard lost his breath.

🔇 N/A

Rita

Sorry, Your Majesty... I came late.

🔇 N/A

Rita

I was making preparations for the prayers. If not for the gravely wounded Shadow Guard who came to alert me...

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

You came at the right time.

🔇 N/A

The wounded Shadow Guard? So he fled while we fought the masked men and warned Rita.

🔇 N/A

The guards carried the two bodies out of the alley, and some of them stayed to address my wounds.

🔇 N/A

Rita

The wounds are patched up... Thank goodness they missed the fatal parts, but Captain still needs to visit a doctor.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

Are you alright, Captain?

🔇 N/A

Captain

Just some stings. Don't even hurt. Oh right, the lanterns at the Star Pavilion have rock oil inside, Rita.

🔇 N/A

Rita

Rest assured, Captain. All of them were put out and the explosives were cleared. Theresa-sama is evacuating the city.

🔇 N/A

Rita

I've prepared a carriage for you and Her Majesty.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

Good. Captain, can you still walk?

🔇 N/A

Captain

Don't worry for me, I'm a tough guy.

🔇 N/A

Kongming spoke no more and quietly helped me get on the carriage.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

It just occurred to me... that the blood stains on me might startle everyone.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

Seeing their former Grand Seeress in such a sorry state might cause a public panic.

🔇 N/A

Rita

That can be taken care of. We can stop by the tailor's shop and buy a new dress. It's right ahead.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

I see.

🔇 N/A

The lanterns on the street went out one by one. Guards rushed around leading the panicky citizens to evacuate.

🔇 N/A

Luckily the tailor's shop was still open. Rita came back to the carriage with a new dress in hand.

🔇 N/A

Rita

Could you excuse yourself for a moment while Her Majesty change inside, Captain?

🔇 N/A

Captain

Huh? Oh, of course.

🔇 N/A

Rita

Your Majesty, please allow me to change for you.

🔇 N/A

Zhuge Kongming

No need, Rita. I'll do it myself and just wait for me outside, will you?

🔇 N/A

The curtain was drawn and Rita got out of the carriage too.

🔇 N/A

Rita

Thank goodness Her Majesty and Captain sent the Shadow Guard to warn me, or else the city would burn now.

🔇 N/A

Captain

Is he alright?

🔇 N/A

Rita

The doctors are tending him now, but the hasty run worsened his wounds... He may never be a Shadow Guard again.

🔇 N/A

Rita

For his loyalty, I would ask Her Majesty to grant him fortune and status.

🔇 N/A

Captain

He deserves this.

🔇 N/A

Rita

But Captain, how do you know there is rock oil in the lantern candles?

🔇 N/A

I was about to explain when a huge explosion came from the building behind and fire sprang at us.

🔇 N/A

Rattled by the sudden boom, the horses began to charge ahead like mad.

🔇 N/A

My hand acted before my brain and grabbed one of the beams of the carriage, but only to be flung off soon.

🔇 N/A

Captain

Kongming is still in the carriage!

🔇 N/A

Rita

You two, block the carriage!

🔇 N/A

Captain

Kongming, get out of the carriage now!

🔇 N/A

Behind me were burning houses and people crying for help, while in front of me the carriage ran wild and far.

🔇 N/A

Soldier A

It's on fire!

🔇 N/A

Soldier B

The fire is too big! Not enough water!

🔇 N/A

Rita

Guards, spread out to fight the fire, and send a team for water! We must stop the fire getting to the firework shops.

🔇 N/A

Rita

Let's get to the carriage, Captain!

🔇 N/A

The carriage left a path of chaos as it trampled across the city. Residents fled their burning houses in great panic.

🔇 N/A

Captain

Too many people here!

🔇 N/A

The disoriented crowds began to slow us down. Rita leaped onto the roofs and began to pick up her speed.

🔇 N/A

Through the fire, I saw a black figure with a black umbrella blocking Rita's way.

🔇 N/A

???

The law of consequence bends for no one... You're trying in vain to stop the inevitable...

🔇 N/A

Rita

Get out of my way!

🔇 N/A

The swinging scythe passed right through the man and he vanished in a puff of smoke.

🔇 N/A

Soldier C

Grand Chancellor, the carriage is running out of the city!

🔇 N/A

Rita

Don't lose it!

🔇 N/A

Rita

...The ruts look messy. The carriage may have lost control.

🔇 N/A

Captain

Some wood chips. Maybe the carriage hit a rock here.

🔇 N/A

Rita

The carriage should be right ahead.

🔇 N/A

It took us long to finally find the carriage. The wounded driver was lying on the ground, and the horses broke loose.

🔇 N/A

Rita

Seems like it rolled over at the hill and took heavy hits.

🔇 N/A

Rita

The driver is dead.

🔇 N/A

Fear grasped me by the throat and I couldn't breathe.

🔇 N/A

Captain

...Rita, have you found Kongming? She's not in the carriage... and not around it either...

🔇 N/A

Captain

Maybe she escaped before the collision?

🔇 N/A

Rita

Let's keep searching. Her Majesty couldn't be far off.

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches to the battlefield, where the Captain will have control of Rita's [Argent Knight: Artemis] battlesuit. >

Look for traces of Kongming.

< Interact with the checkpoint. >

Captain

This dark red liquid...

Captain

Is it... blood?!

< Defeat the enemies. >

< Enemies defeated. >

< Interact with the checkpoint. >

Rita

This pendant looks exactly the same as the one on Her Majesty's dress...

Rita

Looks like we are heading in the right direction.

< Defeat the enemies. >

< Enemies defeated. >

< Interact with the checkpoint. >

Rita

This is... Her Majesty's hairpin!

Captain

...!!!

Captain

...Too quiet.

🔇 N/A

The dark woods were deadly quiet and the deeper I reached, the more eerie it felt.

🔇 N/A

Captain

Kongming! Kongming!

🔇 N/A

No reply.

🔇 N/A

No one but us two in the grove.

🔇 N/A

Captain

Here... a fan...

🔇 N/A

Rita

That's Her Majesty's. She bought it from the fair some years ago, and she always keeps it around.

🔇 N/A

Rita

Her Majesty should be very close.

🔇 N/A

The blue folded fan with gold trims on the bamboo skeleton. The "Emberya" on the fan was clearly Kongming's writing.

🔇 N/A

The night sky was suddenly lit up by the stashed fireworks. The bamboo grove became bright as day for a second.

🔇 N/A

And in the short second, I saw...

🔇 N/A

File:The Day You Vanished with the Stars (CG31).mp4

File:The Day You Vanished with the Stars (CG32).mp4

More fireworks bloomed in the sky and embers fell like shooting stars.

🔇 N/A

Everything became clear.

🔇 N/A

Captain

Kongming?

🔇 N/A

She was leaning against a rock and gazing up into the sky with the fan by her hand.

🔇 N/A

She felt cold, and the light in her eyes had gone out.

🔇 N/A

Captain

Kongming! Wake up! Can you hear me?

🔇 N/A

Wind rose, bringing the rhythmical firework explosions and cries for help from the city.

🔇 N/A

The night sky became a massive garden filled with dazzling blossoms of fireworks.

🔇 N/A

Light blinded my eyes.

🔇 N/A

The world went still, and my blood was frozen.

🔇 N/A

Captain

...No!!!

🔇 N/A

Captain

Kongming! Kongming!

🔇 N/A

Rita

Captain, please stop now... Her Majesty... can never answer you again...

🔇 N/A

Captain

No... this can't be!

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black. >

Darkness devoured me. No light in my world. No where to run.

🔇 N/A

I was completely lost.

🔇 N/A

Captain

...Tesla Zero.

🔇 N/A

I stumbled ahead, but no matter how far I ran, the future I longed for remained a mirage I could never touch.

🔇 N/A

My body became heavier and heavier until my legs defied my will to move.

🔇 N/A

But I can't stop yet. Not here. Not now.

🔇 N/A
