Kamui is on the stage already? Didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Chaofeng must have made some arrangements ahead of time.
...
Didn't expect the "helpers" Chaofeng mentioned to be the Gray Raven Squad, though. I wonder if your superiors already knew?
I only found out myself just now. How did my brother's crew get here? They should have been on missions in a different area.
By the way, Murray, are you not going to greet Lee and the other Gray Ravens?
It's fine, I'm happy just watching my brother from afar. Besides, it's kind of fun like this.
Fun, huh...
A considerable number of people have gathered at the trade venue, and mechanical puppets on patrol. With every new "construct display" that appears on stage, the crowd oohs and ahhs.
They're all trapped in this place, yet they're excited as ever for this event. Are they being controlled—or are they poisoned by this dream?
Our next item is—
Chrome is still deep in thought when the mechanical puppet MC announces the next number—Kamui's. Kamui and Murray turn to look at the stage.
...
...
Kamui, dressed in feminine clothing, and Lucia, wearing something she ordinarily would not.
Heh, so I guess my brother's squad had the same idea.
Murray seems to be enjoying this, while Chrome is checking for potential threats through his specialized device. He glances at the stage to see—
Kamui sending flying kisses at him.
(Wink) Capt! (·ω<)★
(What are you doing...)
As much as Chrome wants to yell at Kamui, all he can do is gesture wildly at him to stop acting so "unladylike."
...To which Kamui flashes Chrome a thumbs-up.
Lucia, Chrome is telling me to beat you in this.
What?
The very next second, Kamui lifts his skirt, and the crowd responds with deafening cheers.
Kamui!
Mistaking Chrome's enraged shouting as cheers, Kamui starts giving his all in his performance.
Quiet, everyone!
The venue quiets down instantly. Right after this, a Kowloong Crew member dressed just like Chaofeng appears and pulls open the curtains concealing the upper stage.
...
Chrome, is that...
It must be Qu, the person Chaofeng mentioned.
My brother—I mean, Gray Raven—probably has something planned. Should we make a distraction for them?
Let me contact their commandant first.
...
After the conversation, Chrome rips open his clothes to reveal the scythe he had kept hidden. The audience flees in different directions in horror.
—
Lucia's crew has taken Qu.
The mechanical puppets have Chrome and Kamui surrounded, while the Kowloong Crew are pursuing the Gray Raven squad.
Gray Raven's destination should be the main control room as well. Let's take out these puppets and head over.
It's going to take some time, though.
That's why I'm joining you guys.
You're here to help us? Specially for us?
We shook hands.
