How... embarrassing of me...
I was going to buy myself some time—w-with a trick or two...
But this antigen is—a-affecting me—w-way more than I thought it would...
My power's not recovering—a-and I got teased by that Kamui...
Couldn't have guessed that after—T-Tenebrion and he... has merged, his strength...
(His frame enters an abnormal state) ...
At the end of the day—I-I got into this mess—b-because I underestimated this "golden antigen."
Nat, the Queen of Gold...
I've got to move the threat levels of her and this Golden Vortex up—a-after I'm back.
————
(A large amount of antigen rises from the floor) ...I've been found!
Nat's holographic image appears in the air...
I am honored to find an Ascendant among us!
...
I wonder if you are satisfied with my reception earlier?
Enough with your facade, Nat.
Oh, I am terribly sorry for this misunderstanding. Here, let me make it up to you...
I have been fixing up this workshop for a very long time. I would never be lax when it comes to greeting an Ascendant. I hope you find it the most enjoyable! Feel free to let me know any complaints you have!
...!
Before Roland can speak, Nat's hologram disappears amidst the golden mist.
The power... of the Punishing Virus... is fading...
