Urgh—!
W-wait! The Corrupted followed the peasants into this carriage!
Dammit! Don't come over!
Ah... I... I'm sorry, but we don't want to die...
Who cares?! Who let these scums in?!
I let them in. We are all residents of this train, are we not?
Who do you think you are?! Going around and doing things like this... Come to think of it, you're the one who deployed Sophia too!
She's the leader... But, you may have crossed the line with your actions this time.
R-right? Aston, my lord! Please get rid of them!
What's done cannot be undone. If we let the commoners out now, it will only allow more Corrupted in.
...Tsk, what a useless leader!
Hey, you! Show some respect! I've had enough of you!
What? Are you peasants defying us?!
Changyu, think before you speak. I'll give you some mechanic guards, go take care of those Corrupted.
...Understood. I'll beat them all out of the train!
Lord Aston, you're too generous to a Construct... Hmph, never mind that.
Babylonia still hasn't given us a reply, we can't afford to wait any longer.
We can just give the Ascendants the merchandise now, right?
There's still some time until the deadline...
Aston, what are you worrying about? You're not waiting for that Jamilah girl's approval, are you?
...
I'm just worried about safety issues. We can't all be so radical, now can we?
If we receive right of abode in Babylonia, then we can continue to enjoy our current lifestyle without fearing the Punishing Virus. Doesn't that suit our needs more?
...I'll wait a bit more, but only because you're the one asking, my lord.
But not all of the aristocrats are patient like me.
...I understand.

Commandant, the help request was sent by the Construct with the ponytail.
Changyu doesn't ask for help unless it's necessary. I have to return.
I quite appreciate your efficiency. Let's speed up our pace.
Right, let's fight!
Let's begin our mission.
