Spring break, Mother and I went on a trip.
Not knowing why, Major Travas and Treize were on that train too.
Why are you here? Explain to me clearly.
Wait a minute, I'm here to get some tea...
There's no need, there's some over there.
What should we do?
Follow the original plan.
Understood.
Lillia-san, actually...
Ah, Treize-san.
What's wrong?
Uh... This is...
Who?
Uh... This is... Like I said... That...
The eye colour is identical to that of Major Travas'.
That means...
The Great Train Operation
Have some tea before it turns cold.
Yes... Let me...
No... Please allow me.
Please.
Thank you very much.
Delicious.
Nice to meet you, I'm Lillia. Lillia Schultz.
I'm Hilda, from Sou Beil.
Treize-san.
Yes!
Um... Let me introduce...
Lillia is my childhood friend.
Lillia's mother is in the military, and knows Major Travas.
Boarding this train by coincidence.
It's really a coincidence.
Oh, I see.
Then, about Treize-san being the son of the hotel owner in Ikstova too...
Yes, she knows about this.
I see.
Then let me introduce myself.
I'm Hilda, a trader.
I came to Ikstova this time to purchase gold.
So that's why you're escorted by Major Travas and the rest.
Yes, my father forcefully got them to accompany me.
And Major Travas mentioned about a youth who is very familiar with Ikstova,
so I hired Treize-san to be my travel guide.
Treize-san not only showed us the way, but also wanted to send us off to the port in the Northern Sea.
I'm very grateful to him.
I see, I understand well now.
Wouldn't it have been better if you had told me so in the beginning itself?
And also, although I'm saying it now, will it be alright for me to drink tea here so leisurely with you?
It's not a problem at all. By having someone to chat with me, I should be happy instead.
I've been helping out my father ever since being a student,
and didn't attend school much. So I have very few friends of the same age as me.
If that's the case, I'm happy to be in your company.
How about another serving of tea?
Sure.
Yes, I'll go get it.
Things turned out inconceivably indeed, didn't it?
Precisely.
Is this okay?
It's not good, but at this point...
Anyway... Honestly speaking, Ojou-sama is a very lonely person.
TL Note: "Ojou-sama" refers to daughter of a high-class family.
If Lillia were to accompany and chat with her, I'll be happy too.
You're a soft person.
Well, that's a good part of you.
So, can Lillia stay at your side till night-time?
That'd have to depend on Ojou-sama, but it shouldn't be of a problem.
The two of them are chatting enthusiastically. Yeah...
Um... Lillia-san... Major Travas and you...
Yeah... Meeting once in a while.
I see.
He is a very busy person.
But, Mother seems to be meeting him frequently.
Oh?
I've always wanted Mother to be happy forever.
Therefore... If possible, it'd be the best if she can be married to Major Travas...
It could be that Lillia had already noticed that Major Travas is her father...
Hilda-san.
Ah... Sorry.
What about Lillia-san's father?
My father married my mother while in university,
but passed away in an accident before I was born.
I see.
Major and you... For the sake of my country...
Eh?
I sincerely thank you here, on the behalf of my country.
Also, I hope that the angel of happiness will be with you forever.
Yes?
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Oh yes, could you please help us take a photograph?
Eh? But... Is it okay?
Please do take a photograph of Lillia-san and I.
Lillia-san, come over here.
Then, without holding back.
Treize, please.
Well then, I'm taking it.
Thank you, Treize-san.
Can I get it later?
I'll mail it to you after getting it printed.
I'll leave it to you then.
I'll count on you.
It's the doctor's turn next.
Yes.
Someone come quick, this is bad!
There's a student clutching his chest, as though in deep agony.
What happened?
I saw him lying on the ground the moment I came here.
Is there any shouting?
There's none.
You're on this train too, neither did you hear anything, did you?
Yeah...
Doctor, how's he?
It might be some poisoning, for now we'll just let him calm down.
It's those people, those people in black. There's no doubt.
They poisoned those distributed lunch boxes.
How can that be?
Wait.
It's them. That has to be it. Are there any other possibilities?
This student was poisoned by them.
Everyone, let's go to the canteen cabin together. We'll go interrogate them.
Sorry for disturbing, something small cropped up.
Trouble with the passengers?
You're right, both parties are currently meeting up in the canteen cabin.
The situation doesn't look good.
Lillia-san.
Yes.
I'm very sorry, can you please follow me back to your own seat?
I understand.
Hilda-san, was fun being here.
I had fun too.
I hope there will be a chance to meet you again.
Yeah.
Treize-san.
You should go too.
Yes?
How can you let a girl leave alone?
Uh... Yes... That's right... Will do.
Um... Everyone, please calm down.
It's you guys who placed poison, right?
We did not do something like that.
Moreover, what would we do that for?
Then, why is the student poisoned?
I'm not clear about it either.
Things got troublesome, huh.
Sorry, things got a little troublesome.
It's these guys who poisoned the food.
On security grounds, we didn't wish to have everyone come to the canteen cabin,
so we gave out the lunch boxes.
But we definitely did not poison it.
Honestly speaking, with things being blown up like this, the ones with the biggest headache will be us.
I hope everyone will deal with this calmly.
Excuse me-
Roger.
I've received reports from the intelligence, there are people moving on top of the train.
What's it this time?
No idea.
What exactly is this all about?
I don't know, but it's not our men.
It'd be clear after catching them.
Izuma, catch him alive.
Understood.
Do we have to back him up?
No, no need.
Isn't this person... your wife?
Impossible. Why?
Excuse me, could you please explain this?
This is a conspiracy! My wife would never do this!
Don't be deceived by them! These guys are villainous.
Sir, please calm down.
Everyone, these guys are the real criminals!
Well, can you please come to the side cabin with your wife?
Of course, we'll listen to your explanation seriously.
I got it.
Danger!
Treize!
Everyone don't move!
Stay where you are!

Lillia.
Boy, don't act rashly, or else...
I've been set up, and I might as well become a criminal this way.
Calm yourself down.
Quiet, stop the train. Someone press the emergency halt switch.
Well, wait a minute.
Who are you?
I'm that child's mother, traveling together.
Oh, and so?
Let me replace her.
What?
My family's precious daughter is very ignorant. She's most afraid of being shocked.
So let me replace my pitiful daughter.
Let go of my daughter.
If I reject?
Who the heck are you?
Didn't I say it before? That child's mother.
Then you don't have to fire so suddenly.
This is to save my daughter.
Well then, I have a suggestion.
Throw the knife away and I'll spare your life.
And also, I won't hand you over to that suspicious organisation,
but to the police instead. The same goes for your wife.
But if you don't listen...
I'll give you ten seconds to decide.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six.
Five, four, three, two...
I got it already!
Thank you, Mother.
You're welcome.
I really didn't want to do this, I was too frightened.
I know about all these. But there's something I want to ask you, isn't that okay?
You're the one who poisoned the student, right?
W-What are you saying? I...
What is that all about?
Leave it to your mother.
You need a reason, right?
The private over there.
Yes!
It's him who informed you guys of the student who fainted on the pathway in the second cabin, right?
So you guys followed him.
That's right.
However, even if not specially running to the other cabins just to call for people,
that cabin also had me and the other people in it.
Won't shouting in his original position do?
Why didn't he do this?
Speaking of which, it's truly so.
The reason is simple.
It's because as more people are gathered in the second cabin, it's to easier to evoke feelings.
I see.
You couple made the first train break down.
And stirring up trouble by poisoning a student on this train.
And also wanting to get past the canteen cabin by making use of the confusion, into the frontier cabins.
You planned it like that, right?
I'm instigated by someone...
Instigated? What exactly is that about?
When I came out from the prison, I was told that a lot of money can be made on this train.
They said these suspicious people are the employees and security guards of a large jewellery company in Sou Beil.
Wanting to secretly transport a batch of jewellery from Ikstova Kingdom.
Then, that person isn't your wife...
No, I heard that she's similarly instigated like me.
So you guys decided to realise this plan.
No, everything was instructed by a man.
Who is that "man"?
I've never seen him, everything is communicated through the phone.
He said he'll give us money if everything goes well.
But, we're not the ones who poisoned the student.
We...
They were most likely drugged with poisonous capsules.
Being deceived that it was some sort of medicine.
This has became mysterious once again.
I was in a good mood after having just met with someone new.
I must definitely be cursed, if so I understand already... Yes... I understand.
Coen Train Conductor, how long is it to the next station?
Yes, about a couple hours until the next station.
Two hours, huh?
Is there any place to stop the train and yet not affect the trains behind?
Um... There'll be a goods transfer station in twenty minutes time.
Good, please stop there. And for the cabins after this one, please disconnect them.
Yes?
Since we know that we're being targeted, we can never take the same train with these passengers again.
Please split the train into two, with each operating on its own.
I understand, Major.
However, it's really unfortunate to be unable to be with Lillia-san till the final destination.
Can you arrange an opportunity for us to meet someday?
I'll do my best.
Information has been leaked.
Yeah, we did not reveal any news of this train to Roxche.
It's unfortunate, but it should be some group from Sou Beil.
Currently, we can confirm that, there's really someone with the intentions to harm Ojou-sama.
It'd be troublesome now.
Since the other party knows of our identities, small and elite squad became a weakness instead.
That's right.
What's Major's view about that fake couple?
They have been pawns used by someone right from the start.
There'd be nothing for them after being used, hence being silenced through poisoning.
The train's breakdown, passengers transfer, canteen cabin's commotion.
Everything was planned by someone beforehand.
If not for Allison-san who settled everything at that time,
I'm afraid that our conflict with the passengers would only have gone out of hand.
A criminal's mind is complicated.
Yeah, he saw that we gave out lunch boxes because of not wanting the passengers to come into the canteen cabin.
No, he's still on board that dislocated train.
From now onwards, we'll have to put Ojou-sama's safety as our first priority.
We'll change to a car at the next junction, deceiving the criminal and returning to the home country.
Things turned out unexpectedly, it's a pity that we're unable to take the same ride with Prince Treize.
That's right.
Is something still bothering you?
Yeah, in fact, the "Is it okay this way?" feeling in my mind isn't going away.
Feeling that there was something missed out.
Leader, that is troubling.
Don't let down your guard before reaching the station.
Upon discovering any irregularities, handle it by force.
Yes.
What did you want to talk to me about?
Isn't it obvious, about the date of course.
Date? Date, you mean us?
It's Mother and Major Travas.
Ah, oh...
They planned to go for a date after work, right?
If that isn't the case, then there's no need for special arrangements to be made.
Well, probably.
These arrangements were completely ruined by this commotion.
Can't you think of anything?
Even if you say so...
What about the contact address of the other party?
You're a guide, right?
You don't know?
Ah, even I knew the contact address,
they will be alighting at the next station, returning to Sou Beil by crossing the Lutoni River.
Ah, sorry. I didn't expect to disturb the two of you.
Please don't mind it.
Don't mind it.
Huh, you must be the one in the frontier cabin, right?
I was driven over.
I'm Ikstova's guide, being unrelated to those people's job.
I see, that's a pity.
Speaking of which, the washroom don't seem to be here. Excuse me.
Track changing complete. Now we won't be caught up by the train behind.
How quiet.
It'd be good if nothing happens like this.
This is the driver room.
Go on.
There is a car on the track!
I'm performing an emergency halt!
Don't stop the train, maintain motion and bump that car away.
Don't stop the train!
It's unfortunate.
Who would listen to you?
What?
Everyone, into combat mode!
Roger!
The elegant Oneesama I met on the train got caught up in a hopeless crisis.
I didn't expect it at all at that time.
kurai yoru wa yasashii koe de kimi no na wo yobu
In the dark night I gently call out your name
yaoke mae no kaze tsurete itte kono koe wo tooku e
Let the pre-dawn wind send my voice afar
kyou tabi ni deru sagashite ita sekai
Today I'm going out on a journey to the world I've been searching
chizu ni nai basho e namida fuite
To a place not on the map so I wipe my tears
sayonara wo itsudatte mune ni daita mama
The farewell forever embraced in my heart
boku tachi wa arukunda doko e itemo zutto issho sa
We're going to walk together no matter where we are
Strange things happened one after another.
The Culprit Laughs Secretly
Is everything for the motive of targeting Princess Matilda?
What are you blabbering about?
Ah, nothing.
Ah, Treize! There's something behind you!
Eh, no way! Why me?
