Chapter 9
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You are…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
As expected of a PUS member, you know me like the back of your hand.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Clap, Clap
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Well not everything,
But to my knowledge…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...Hm?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Pfft
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But it seems like this young lady behind you doesn’t recognize me?
Let me introduce myself, I’m Bai Mo, and for the time being I’m Urbino’s…leader.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Although I only just got here, I’m actually here to take the assessment.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You’re also here to take the assessment?!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You surprised?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But…but, you’re Urbino’s leader…
Why is the head of such a large business association participating in Painting Utopia’s elite squad selection assessment?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Because why not? I treat it as a test of strength.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Right, I’m looking for the other members of Urbino.
If you know where they are…mind bringing me to them?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Of…of course, follow me please…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
No need for the formalities, just call me Bai Mo.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Oh, OK!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I would say my relationship with Maddelena and Celestia is…pretty good?
I should bring you to them first!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
What do you mean, “pretty good”?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Eh?
That’s…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
That’s how I feel,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But what if they don’t feel the same way…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
What’s with the lack of confidence?
From what I know about those two, they probably like you a ton.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ah! Thank goodness!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ah right,
did you hear about Celestia’s clinic?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yep!
I think it was called Astral Sanctuary…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…Freya, have you heard of it?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…Sorry, I haven’t…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Hmm.
The Astral Sanctuary is an Urbino-funded and operated clinic, used to treat Strinovans.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Celestia is the main doctor there.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Treating Strinovans…?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Strinovans can get injured by special weapons.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And then of course there’s Collapse Syndrome…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…Collapse Syndrome can be treated?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Heh,
That’s good…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Uh…Freya?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…what’s wrong, Michele?
.
.
Nothing…nothing!!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Freya’s expression just now was strange, it’s not like her normal self…
No…I’m probably seeing things…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Then can Collapse Syndrome be treated?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Hmmm…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This is a difficult question to answer and is on a heavy case-by-case basis.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
From Urbino’s perspective, treating Collapse Syndrome is just a transitory step to finding a “New World.”
Its importance is not as high as we imagined.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
What’s this “new world?”
.
.
.
.
.
.
EH!?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
BAI MO!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Boss…
I’m surprised you’re here.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Wait a second, did you all think I was lying when I said I would be coming?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
C’mon,
Cut me some slack!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I didn’t say I didn’t trust you,
I’m saying I’m shocked to see you here.
.
.
.
.
.
We didn’t see you at the briefing, so we thought you wouldn’t show up.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I got delayed with stuff and came late.
Thankfully, I ran into these two, and Michele helped me look for you guys.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yep!
Since I know where your room is, I brought him over here!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ah, thank you, Michele!
.
.
.
.
Heh heh…
.
.
.
.
.
.
If our leader came looking for us specifically, is there something you wanted to talk about？
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ah, let’s talk about this privately, among us Urbino members.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Eh? What is it?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Nothing too major, don't worry.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
CLAP
.
RIGHT!
.
CLAP
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
It’s rare to see a group of energetic young people gathered together…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Before we get down to business, how about we get warmed up?
