Story Reader / Extra Hidden / EX05 Inscription of Labyrinth / Story
Roland and Lamia stay hidden and watch the Task Force member enters the mansion.
The moment she steps inside, Roland recognizes her. She is a member of the Task Force squad "Cerberus."
It was them who held off Gabriel in Venus Splash Park and drove him away. Roland knows he must not underestimate them.
I know that girl... They fired the air-burst grenades at Gabriel.
The girl opens the front door and stares blankly at the empty space.
(?)
She then begins to mumble to herself, as if she has just woken up.
What... was that?
It smelt good. The fragrances and the warmth...
She stands baffled in front of the house. The next moment—
Roland sees the girl in white pick up a random piece of glass-like thing from the ground. She stabs it right into her arm.
(...What? She's...)
...
...You were losing your mind. It was messy. I didn't feel good.
Pain wakes you.
(...You?)
Sorry?
It doesn't compromise my fighting.
The girl raises her head, looking around the room.
...Yeah.
(What's going on? Who is she talking to?)
(That doesn't sound like she's talking to a teammate. Is she linked to someone?)
If she is linked... Roland remembers what Lamia heard about the Commandant of Gray Raven. Plus, the Commandant of Cerberus isn't around either.
(I found you, Commandant of the Gray Raven.)
(So she must be the key person of Babylonia. As long as I follow her...)
The girl continues to stare blankly at the empty room. Mixed emotions appear on her face.
Baffled, shocked, fear, followed by hope—
Roland never sees the cycle and intertwining of these expressions in the same face.
She then quickly runs into the room.
Tsk, what's going on...?!
Roland has no time to think. He climbs into the room through another window that he opened earlier on.
