Vol.2 Ch.68: 30F - Archimedes (3)

Androssi is questioning Emile on her phone while she reminisces her conversation with Traveller. He said that Emile is a human being trapped in the Acorn Shop on the Archimedes ship, and that she's going to die when the workshop scientists turn her into a weapon. As Emile's answers aren't relevant to that matter, the Zahard princess says : " I'm sorry but I have no time to be concerned about other people's love life".

Meanwhile, at the gate of the Acorn shop, Hatsu unable to enter, finaly remarkes the presence of Cassano and another of FUG's slayer demon. As they enter painlessly in the Acorn shop, Hatsu decides to tail them out of suspicion. Inside, Cassano gets Horyang to meet with their former teacher Professor Sophia. Horyang is so happy he cries. As he witnesses the scene, Hatsu is spotted and called by a strange kid with bandages on his eyes and a perfusion stand at his side. Surprised, Hatsu jumps aside and try to draw his swords, forgetting he doesn't have them anymore. The noise alerts Cassano and Horyang who catch, tie up and lock up the intruder.

Professor Sophia introduces then the child as Beta, Horyang's and Cassano's "brother". She proceeds in showing them the last project she has been working on. In a facility down a guarded elevator, the two hand demon brothers are shown the cocoonlike machinery sobbing "I love you". Sophia Amae tells them that it's Emile, a child and a weapon, and that when she will awake, she will bring a huge wave in the tower. At the elevator's gate, the guards change shift, the previous guard entering the elevator and removing his helmet...Hey I know this blond-haired guy with a dot on his cheek !

30F Workshop Battle -Archimedes-  END

On a plateform in a big blue arena, the silhouettes of Lo and Punk are anouncing the start of the Workshop battle.



SIU's Afertword
Well..It seems like the story about Emile has officially begun.

I have stretched the first half of story longer on purpose, to concentrate on the games and battles.

For those who have been waiting for the tournament, it might've been a bit too long; I tried to put this information during some parts of the story, but it felts like it was a bit out of place later on ^^.

Bur next week it seems like there's going a lot of focus on the battles at the end, we saw Ro for a moment.

The story was actually supposed to be that the guard was Ro, opening the door for Androssi, but it was too sudden and confusing so I decided to put that in later.

I wanted to put some spotlight onto Emile ^^;;

Details about Emile's identity will be all out at the later parts of the story, but right now I'm concentrating on the relationships between the Regulars.

So anticipate next week´s story too!!
