How about we begin with finding Koyanskaya, like we originally planned!? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes A fair point. I sincerely doubt[sr]she came here on a lark. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Holmes Very well then, how do we track her down? [k] [charaFace B 0] @Holmes We'll never find her if we merely[sr]walk around without a plan, after all. [k] @Holmes Given that this is a Lostbelt, we know there must be a Crypter guarding its Tree of Emptiness somewhere. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 7] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Mash And just like in Scandinavia, this Lostbelt's tree doesn't seem to be visible. [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Yes, that concerns me too. The Russian tree was so large as to be visible from hundreds of kilometers away. [k] @Holmes The fact that we cannot see it here means that[sr]it must be disguised, as it was in Scandinavia. [k] @Holmes And that, in turn, means this Lostbelt's king understands that it is something best kept hidden. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Nezha Of course. If they. So wished. A fairy or sage. Could[sr]make. A mountain. Disappear. With relative ease.

[k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Indeed. Even if we were to capture Koyanskaya today,[sr]we cannot simply leave this Lostbelt behind. [k] @Holmes As long as it exists, it remains a threat to Proper Human History. Sooner or later, we will need to face the Crypter responsible for it.

[k] @Holmes Think back to when we first learned about them. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Holmes The Krichat' are Demonic Beasts that originated in the Russian Lostbelt, and possess numerous characteristics that let them survive in its frigid environment. [k] @Holmes But this Lostbelt is far too warm for such creatures. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Meunière Oh, now I get it.

[k] @Mash The fact that those creatures showed up in a different Lostbelt can only mean that someone brought them here. [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Indeed. Someone who can come and[sr]go between Lostbelts as they please. [k] @Holmes Since we can of course eliminate ourselves as suspects, that only leaves one possibility... [k] ?1:Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya. ?! [charaFace B 7] @Holmes Precisely.

[k] @Da Vinci So much for civilization never developing here. [k] @Da Vinci If they've got the science and engineering know-how to build a metropolis like this, then they've come way farther technologically than we thought. [k] @Da Vinci I mean, there's not a single support column holding this thing up, so they obviously figured out how to make it float. [k] @Da Vinci And since it's clearly no giant air bladders or the like, I've got to wonder just how the hell they are making something that heavy float! [k] @Holmes Perhaps magecraft is used openly here. Either that, or they really have advanced scientifically to the point where they can control gravity. [k] @Holmes In the latter case, they would be well ahead of Proper Human History, at least in terms of technology. [k] @Da Vinci Oh, and while I was at it, I grabbed some footage of that weird perfectly straight line in the sky, too. Here it is at max magnification.

By my estimates, it's more than five kilometers wide. [k] @Da Vinci That's not even the best part. It stretches along the entire observable sky of the Lostbelt. [k] @Mash Wow... [k] @Meunière Then how come we couldn't see it before entering this Lostbelt? If it's two thousand kilometers up, that's gotta put it above the storm clouds, right? [k] @Da Vinci That must mean that the Lostbelt's borders prevent anything within from being seen, storm or no. [k] @Da Vinci Anything built during their history, no matter how big it might be, is impossible to observe from the outside. [k] @Da Vinci Forget measuring size and mass.

[k] [charaFace B 0] @Holmes Da Vinci, I trust you can determine the capital's latitude and longitude from here? What happens when you map it to the China we know?

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 32] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Aww, you already figured that out?[sr]I wanted to keep you all in suspense a little longer.

So I thought I could help you out with getting rid of Chaldea. [k] [charaFace B 21] @Koyanskaya Besides, we're both misanthropic outcasts.[sr]It only makes sense for us to join forces, don't you think?

[k] [charaFace A 11] @Akuta Hinako But that still doesn't explain why you brought those dangerous pets of yours along. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Koyanskaya Pets? Perish the thought. [k] @Koyanskaya They have their dignity, at least as far as wild animals go. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Akuta Hinako So you didn't order them to go around killing people? [k] @Koyanskaya Of course not. Why would I rob myself of the pleasure of torturing and killing humans? [k] @Koyanskaya No, they're just doing their best to survive and find food in an environment they're not used to. [k] @Koyanskaya Don't you find that far more endearing than a bunch of defanged livestock, like this nation's people? [k] [charaFace A 8] @Akuta Hinako That's not the problem, and you know it. How could you set Demonic Beasts from another Lostbelt loose here? [k] @Akuta Hinako If the emperor finds out you're the one responsible for them, you will find yourself in real trouble. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 0,-50] @Koyanskaya Oh, that? You might say that's just part of a lifelong project for me. Don't worry, I promise I won't make any trouble for you. [k] @Koyanskaya You have your own life's work you've devoted yourself to, don't you, Akuta? So I think we'll both be happier if we just stay out of each other's way. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 11] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-50] @Akuta Hinako ...Fine.[sr]What's done is done, after all. [k] [charaFace A 7] @Akuta Hinako There's no way I'm letting Chaldea mess up my nice, stable Lostbelt. Don't you dare go easy on them, Saber.
