A Bittersweet JourneyVideo Summary: Even with mixed feelings, it's hard to dull the thrill of setting out on a new journey.
Story Description: The day has finally come to set off for Roscaelifer. Belle and Wise are buzzing with excitement, though a hint of worry lingers beneath the surface... Meanwhile, Cissia has packed an absolutely ridiculous amount of luggage, clearly determined to hold their little "team outing" together by sheer force of preparation.
- (SiblingSibling): (Morning, Wise! Today's the big day. We're finally heading out! So... how you feeling?Morning, Wise! Today's the big day. We're finally heading out! So... how you feeling? /
Morning, Belle. Today's the day we're finally setting out. How are you feeling?Morning, Belle. Today's the day we're finally setting out. How are you feeling?) - I feel fine.
- I'm looking forward to it.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Hmm... physically, everything seems fine. And I'm looking forward to the trip... We finally get to see the legendary "Classified Airspace Zone" for ourselves.Hmm... physically, everything seems fine. And I'm looking forward to the trip...

Mm... nothing feels off physically, and I'm really excited for the trip!

Still packing?Still packing?) You've been pacing around all morning. - (SiblingSibling): (N-No, I'm packed up! I was just helping Cissia with her luggage.N-No, I'm packed up! I was just helping Cissia with her luggage. /

- You've never been good at hiding what's on your mind.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Is that really all? You know you're terrible at hiding things from me.Is that really all? You know you're terrible at hiding things from me. /
That's it? You know you're bad at hiding things from me, right?That's it? You know you're bad at hiding things from me, right?) - (SiblingSibling): (Is it that obvious? Seriously, I wanted to avoid bringingIs it that obvious? Seriously, I wanted to avoid bringing /

I should've guessed you'd see right through me... Alright, to be honest, I am excited, but also a bit nervous...I should've guessed you'd see right through me... Alright, to be honest, I am excited, but also a bit nervous...) - Are you worried the treatment might not go as smoothly as we hope?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Are you worried the treatment might not go as smoothly as we hope?
- (SiblingSibling): (Hey, are you kidding?! They have first-generation Void Hunters there! If anyone can handle it, it's gotta be them.Hey, are you kidding?!

C'mon Belle, don't say that. Think about it — they have first-generation Void Hunters there. They must have a way to treat us.C'mon Belle, don't say that. Think about it — they have first-generation Void Hunters there. They must have a way to treat us.) - Exactly!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Exactly! So instead, you should check if the (gamesgames /
moviesmovies) you want for the trip are all downloaded. - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Ugh, I (definitelydefinitely /
guess I reallyguess I really) shouldn't have brought that up. (SheShe / HeHe) doesn't want me to worry, (but still has her own doubts about whether Roscaelifer can cure me or not.but still has her own doubts about whether Roscaelifer can cure me or not. / but he's not fully convinced Roscaelifer can cure me either.but he's not fully convinced Roscaelifer can cure me either.)) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (But actually... the one who's most worried... is me.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (When that power (wentwent /
goesgoes) out of control... it (feltfelt / feelsfeels) exactly like it did back in Helios Academy.) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Porcelloy does help suppress it... but lately, even when I'm near the W-Engine Remielle left me, sometimes I feel like I could crush it in my hand...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (When the treatment starts, what if...)
- And then — suddenly...
- Billy: Yo, yo, yo! Morning, Managers! You all set? Had breakfast? It's a clear day, perfect for setting out on a hero's grand adventure with Starlight Knight Billy!
- Cissia: You all awake yet? The sun's already up and shining... Billy! Quit posing and give me a hand here... Ughh—!
- (SiblingSibling): Uh, Cissia...? Don't tell me you packed more (stuffstuff /
thingsthings). Velina said Roscaelifer will provide everything we need. We're supposed to travel (light!light! / light.light.) - (SiblingSibling): Besides, we don't even know if your "travel permit" actually went through...
- Cissia: Went through or not, there's no way I'm staying behind! Without you guys, I'd starve in a few days!
- Cissia: And how can you trust someone who says they'll "provide everything"? Who knows what that place is actually like? What if the snacks suck? Or if the place is even rougher than the Outer Ring?!
- Cissia: I'm gonna be fully prepared! A whole month's worth of snacks, that high-power emergency lamp I saw advertised on TV, a portable Ether scanner, a multi-tool repair kit...
- Cissia: Take it from someone with plenty of experience getting "kicked out" — I won't let you go hungry, okay?!
- Thanks... Cissia...
- But maybe we should try not getting "kicked out" in the first place...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Uh, thanksUh, thanks /
ThanksThanks), Cissia... but let's just assume we're not (going togoing to / gonnagonna) get "kicked out," okay...? - Cissia: Hey... wait, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), you don't look so good. Are you... nervous? - Billy: Huh... the manager's nervous?! Relax! My new armor just got a full upgrade. Whatever happens, I've got your back!
- Cissia: I even sewed a hidden compartment into my bag — got some real good stuff stashed in there...
- (SiblingSibling): Cissia! Please don't tell me you bought some sketchy products because of some Inter-Knot ad.
- Cissia: I have the right to remain silent!
- (I suddenly feel a lot better...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Thanks to them, I feel a lot more relaxed now... And (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) doesn't look nearly as tense as (sheshe / hehe) did earlier.) - Cissia: Come to think of it, this is the first time our little Sixth Street squad is going on a trip together! It's kinda like... what do they call it...? Oh, they uh, um... Oh! A "team-building" thing! It's my first one ever!
- Billy: Man, if Nicole and the others were here, it'd be even more hype!
- Cissia: Didn't Norma say she'd come pick us up? What's taking her so long? Stuck in traffic or something?
- Suddenly, you hear a deep, thunderous roar rolling in from outside...
- Cissia: Whoa, woah, woah, woah! Wh–What's going on?!
- Billy: Stay back, guys! I'll go check it out!
- Whoa!! No way! Are you kidding?!
- What's going on?
- (Everyone exits the video store)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Billy, what's going... (What the...What the... /
Whoa!Whoa!)
A Flashy First Step

A Flashy First StepVideo Summary: Even with mixed feelings, it's hard to dull the thrill of setting out on a new journey.
Story Description: A massive airship arrives in Sixth Street. It's Norma, here to pick everyone up. After their luggage clears security inspection, the group sets off for Roscaelifer.
- Norma: Hey—! Over here—!
- Norma: Hurry up, hurry up! Stop dragging your feet and hop on! Keeping this thing hovering isn't cheap, you know! Roscaelifer's pretty far — we don't have time to waste!
- Cissia: Damn, this thing... it's big enough to take the whole video store with us!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Wait... this is what Norma meant by giving us a "little lift"? This thing is the opposite of... "little"!
- The neighbors around you start whispering, filled with both awe and curiosity.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): What is this airship...?
- Norma: Heh, this is the latest experimental model that I specially requested! Well? Never seen anything like it, right?
- Norma: Veli's been tied up dealing with a bunch of bothersome stuff lately, so she sent me to pick you up. Works out — I got to stretch my legs a bit...
- Norma: Oh right! I have some good news! After Velina pulled some strings and I handled the logistics, it turns out your two companions can come along too. Not bad, huh?
- Cissia: Yes! I knew everything would be peachy keen! Well what are we waiting for? Let's roll!!
- Norma: Hold on. Before you board, there's one thing we need to confirm.
- Billy: What? Some kind of pre-boarding trial? Gotta prove we're worthy — "chosen ones" and all that?!
- Norma: ...Ahem. According to Temporary Visitor Regulations clause 3, all accompanying personnel and luggage must undergo an initial security scan, especially any "excessive" or "unclearly defined" personal items...
- Cissia: Huh?!
- Through the rumble of the airship, you can hear Cissia and Billy arguing with the crew...
- And just like that, under the neighbors' stunned and uneasy gazes, you board the massive airship that looks like something straight out of a movie. A new journey has begun...

- Wise: Huh? Isn't that where the wind speeds are insanely—
- All: Ahhhhhh...
- Billy: Whoa... there's a whole other world inside the storm belt!
