This facility is under attack and at risk of infiltration.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

All personnel are to adopt defensive stances and prepare for combat.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I repeat-

.

.

.

.

.

.

Under attack!?

Dammit, why now…!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I need to find a way to calm down Freya…

Freya…

Freya!

Wake up!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

FREYA…!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

What should I do…

What drug was she injected with?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Why did Alaya…?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

But…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Grab

.

.

.

This also gives me the opportunity to send her to the infirmary…!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Freya, I’m taking you to the medical room!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Investigator Michele!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Kokona!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Thank goodness you’re okay.

…What happened to her?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I’m okay…

But as for Freya…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I’ll explain the situation later.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I just heard the alert, what’s the situation?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

It’s a Scissors attack!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

THE SCISSORS!?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Correct…

Their men launched raids on various parts of the facility.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Right now, all the contestants and staff are preparing for combat.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You should join us and help out!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

No problem!

But first I need to send Freya to the medical room…

.

.

.

.

.

.

She…

Might’ve contracted Collapse Syndrome.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Additionally, I saw Alaya.

She injected a drug into Freya.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Freya collapsed and lost consciousness…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Alaya…

Hmm…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

…I understand.

Leave Freya to me. You should go deal with the raid!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

But…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

…Understood.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

At a time like this, not going into battle now would make me a poor excuse of a PUS Investigator!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I’ll leave Freya to you, Kokona!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Got it.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

There is only one thing that I can do now.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

And that is to protect everyone.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

This time, I’m not going to sit by and watch my friends get hurt.
