Just when the Musashi unit is about to catch you, you see a blade flashing past, slashing the Musashi in half.
The one who protected you was the Corrupted that had to run away from you, right at the beginning of this whole drama.
You see a familiar expression in the Corrupted's eyes, strong, unwavering, and reminding you of someone.
Looks like you're still seeing me as a Corrupted, Commandant.
Commandant, I am â– â– , here awaiting your command.
Shouldn't you have run away, Lucia? Why are you still here?
I'm only here to help rescue Commandant, just like everyone else.
I'm asking you why you're on your own. You could have met up with other Constructs...
In that case, I would still be seen as a Corrupted and got attacked, just like before.
Even if the others recognized me, Commandant's perception would still have been compromised and would likely give an order to attack.
...And that will damage our relationship. Isn't that your true purpose?
Not entirely... But if you say so, that means my plan has at least partially worked, don't you think?
Not in the slightest.
Are you kidding? The commandant you are protecting right now was attacking you, a "Corrupted", with no mercy.
The same commandant who was hesitating during the last question.
Are you sure such a person is worth your protection and trust?
At first, when Commandant thought I was a Corrupted and could not hear my words...
I never thought that could shock my M.I.N.D. so much.
Then—
But there's one thing that I'm always certain.
It doesn't matter what Commandant sees me as, because I only have one thing to do, right from the beginning.
And that is, to become Commandant's blade.
You...!
So, are you going to join the fight now?
Wait a sec... How can you possibly move?
Because I cut off the control devices to the connection chamber, the ones you planted nearby before I entered the mansion. No need to thank me for my return gift... Happy April Fool's Day, Vera.
Tch...
Bloody Cerberus! You're not going to walk away easily!
Even if Cerberus has privileges, you can't do whatever you want... You will face punishment.
...Guess I'll have to retreat.
Are you trying to run away?!
Yeah, obviously. One member alone can't make a Cerberus.
The ground is shaking... Is she trying to blow up the mansion?
That's the end of the April Fool's fun. I will make you pay for this, Gray Raven. And everyone else...
