Searching for the Boring MachineVideo Summary: Call for a love that comes once in a lifetime at the center of a Hollow!
Story Description: The normally obedient boring machine went missing, and Grace worries it had entered a rebellious phase and might turn into a wild beast.
- Grace: Ah, this is it. This is where the signal came from... that child... In-Hollow Boring Machine Mark III, Greta.
- Koleda: We need the Proxy to lead the search. Grace, describe the boring machine.
- Grace: Hardworking and capable, and cute — just like sweet pea was when she was little.
- Koleda: ...Nobody has a clue what you're talking about.
- Grace: Okay. To put it into words the average human can understand — it's a machine responsible for excavating tunnels. To work faster, it's also equipped with a demolition saw used to tear down buildings!
- Grace: I thought the little thing would become more efficient after the update. I never thought... she'd run off!
- Koleda: Who even told you to do such an unnecessary update?! It's more annoying than my laptop's constant updates!
- Grace: You never talked like this when you were a kid. You used to be so cute when you were little...
- Ben: Hm, but it's normal to go through a rebellious phase growing up, right?
- Ben: Maybe the boring machine has just gotten a few rebellious ideas in its head...
- Grace: No— I won't allow it!
- Ben: Huh?
- Grace: I won't allow my cute children to become unruly, rebellious beasts!
- Grace: Midnight drag racing, deliberately scratching up their bodies, putting on massive stickers that are extremely difficult to clean, trying prohibited Ether fuel mixtures, even imitating the old civilization cartoons and trying to merge with other machines...
That may be interesting to watch—
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Such a detailed description. I'd like to see that, actually...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Whoa, having listened to your description, I wish I could see that...
- Koleda: Don't push her buttons, Proxy.
- It's still just a child!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Calm down, Grace. It's still just a child.
- Grace: Proxy, we have to find it quickly. I just hope it isn't too late!
- (Enter TV mode)
- Fairy: Detecting heavy machinery signal.
- Fairy: Syncing location data.
- (SiblingSibling): The target signal is still active. It's currently...
- (SiblingSibling): Huh... What's it doing?
- Grace: Let's go take a look!
- (When getting pushed by an enemy)
- Grace: Ah, right! Take this!
- (Obtained Bangboo Plug-In - Cross-Blast)
- Grace: Eh, in hindsight, I should've packed more.
- (Go to designated position)
- Grace: How should we approach it...?
- Fairy: Scanning suitable exploration routes.
- Fairy: Please bypass the current area.
- (Drop into next floor)
- (Go to designated position)
- Fairy: Syncing area info.
- Grace: Proxy... Is this really a good path to take?
- (SiblingSibling): Apologies, we had no other choice.
- (When the high-risk enemy contacts you)
- Grace: Hm... this fellow seems a bit stubborn.
- (SiblingSibling): We'd be wise to avoid it.
- (Go to designated position)
- (SiblingSibling): There's a safe zone up ahead! Go there!
- (After stepping on a red button to block the high-risk enemy)
- Koleda: They can't get through now, right?
- (SiblingSibling): Yeah, we're safe — for now.
- Grace: Now then... How do we get out of here?
- Grace: Hm~ I have an idea!
- (SiblingSibling): What's that?
- (After placing 4 bombs at the center)
- Grace: Alright, everybody! Cover your ears and stand aside!
- (After moving up one floor)
- Koleda: Can't believe you're using explosives to blast your way out?!
- Grace: Calm down, everything's fine!
- Grace: Besides, aren't we safe from that stubborn fellow?
