Day 1, 21:32
Log entry by
Incognito's 3rd division commander Gustave Gustaf.
4 hours 38 minutes since the end of the previous mission.
Target Alpha and target Bravo are
moving north after the end of the battle.
22:12.
Day 1, 22:12
The targets arrive at Marquesas, a town of 5700 people.
22:48, they move to an inn.
22:48
We let money do the talking and rented
a room in the building across from the inn.
Using that as our base, we are observing the targets.
For now, there is nothing to note.
We will continue our observation.
I proposed this action to Erec-sama myself
and received his blessing.
The showdown with DT...
After the countless clashes we had,
DT and Ecarlate died a little too easily.
One could simply claim that Erec-sama was simply
so strong that a single strike was enough to finish DT, but
something wasn't quite right.
"That's why I felt it was necessary
to observe the other two for a while."
How do you know what I was thinking?
Gustave, you should try to control your habit
of thinking out loud.
What was supposed to be an
inner monologue was anything but.
Really?
Really.
KT, what do you think?
You think I'm overthinking this?
If DT is alive, he's sure to rejoin the targets.
This plan is quite sound.
But I think there's another reason that you proposed this plan.
What?
Don't play dumb,
I know that Marquesas is famous for its pretty women.
You're here for the hostess clubs!
D-Don't be silly!
Who do you think I am?!
"I love hostess clubs" Gustave.
No! What I love is what's after, and accompaniment!
That's still the same thing.
Just remember this.
I'm here to watch you.
Make sure to not forget your mission.
Don't underestimate me.
Did you really think I wouldn't do anything when
there are girls with smooth white skin waiting for me?
Were you even listening to me?!

Log entry by
Incognito's 3rd division commander Gustave Gustaf.
At present, the targets aren't doing anything noteworthy.
However, I can't believe that the targets will just sit around idly.
It's certain that they're going to do something.
But Gustave was thinking,
"Oh man, I wish the mission was over so I could
caress the smooth skin of some girl's upper arm."
That's quite true.
However, KT wasn't letting him do that.
But Gustave was actually sneaking out at night.
However, touching wasn't allowed.
But it was impossible for Gustave to stop longing for smooth skin.
However, KT had decided to stop him even if it would take
putting a rope around his neck.
But!
However!
But!
However!
Hey, can you cut it out already?
Where's the harm in me going to a hostess club?!
As long as I do my work
what's the problem with that?!
They're moving!
So they're finally making a move.
What do you make of this?
I'm sure they don't know that we're watching them.
Which means...
That they have no reason to not meet with
DT and the princess if they're still alive.
Let's follow them. Don't be seen.
Mission log, day 2, 12:04.
Day 2, 12:04
Currently targets Alpha and Bravo are moving together.
Judging from their strides, they have a destination.
We will continue shadowing them.
I'll follow the woman.
Hey!
Oh well.
Meeting at a café downtown, huh?
I guess this is the real deal.
Just as I thought, DT is not dead at all.
Is that him?!
Now, show yourself, DT!
That's just some old dude!
Damn them for misleading me.
Wait a second. Who is that guy?
When did they contact him?
And how did they set up this meeting?
We never left our targets unattended.
Wait, calm down.
It's simple to make someone set up an appointment.
What's important is to find out who he is,
and to find out if he's connected to DT.
Money and a note...
Even more suspicious.
Who to follow now?
Of course, that one.
Fog...
Oh no you don't!
This is...
Anything?
Kind of.
The targets are both back.
Target Alpha met with a man.
I followed the man, but...
But?
I lost him.
Fool.
Whatever. And you?
Shopping.
Clothes, shoes, flowers, and much more.
I watched the interactions with the store clerks,
and I examined the stores,
but there was nothing suspicious.
So that was a dud.
And you screwed up.
That means...
You don't seem happy.
Are you talking to yourself in the mirror?
I know.
That empty feeling left in your heart when a rival is gone.
When there's no more tension, your hands feel too idle.
That's a completely normal reaction for a fighter.
Nope.
I just had work shoved onto me by this paranoid twosome.
No need to be ashamed, Variation.
I think you should have a little more shame.
I mean, even Erec-sama seems to almost look a little lonely.

Day 3, 08:13
Log entry by
Incognito's 3rd division commander Gustave Gustaf.
At present, target Alpha and target Bravo
are in the same room, conversing.
We will continue the observation.
Hey, woman! Take me to a hostess club!
No. Why do I have to take you?
You talking back to me?!
If you are seriously not going to take me,
I'll stuff all your pockets full of potato starch!
Whatever. Even if you did go,
you'd just come home after they scalp you.
Don't be ridiculous!
I am a veteran with a proven record!
By my own count, I have a 78% post-club success rate.
Don't underestimate my genius chatting skills and gumption!
By your own count means it's all made up.
That's not important right now!
What's important right now is
that I want to go to a hostess club!
Nope.
Damn it!
Mission log, day 3, 13:33.
Day 3, 13:33
No noteworthy movements by the targets.
The only change would be that target Alpha
has started giving food to cats
and that target Bravo is... Bravo!
Hey!
That's enough.
Any more of that and you're just a peeping tom.
A little would be fi—
No!
But just...
Down!
Okay.

Day 3, 19:32

Hey, can I leave this post to you?
You can't go to a hostess club.
I'm going to investigate.
At a hostess club?
No, I'm going to look for the man I lost yesterday.
Hostess club, then.

Dubbing the man who met with target Alpha target Charlie.
Beginning the investigation to find out where Charlie went.
After a thorough investigation of places he went,
I am moving to point N358 after getting a tip
that important information about Charlie is waiting there.
The name of the new investigation target is:
I'm Carina!
While asking about her age, profession,
place of residence, dreams for the future,
Cheers!
I permit the consumption of a drink.
I'm beginning the true interrogation.
Interrogation? I'm so nervous!
Day 3, 22:28
Mission log, day 3, 22:28.
After a harsh interrogation and payment of the naming fee,
I was able to glean information about
her measurements and the presence/absence of a boyfriend.
You're talking to yourself again.
After getting initial results,
I decide to press on with the interrogation.
What? Then let's have another drink!
M-Mission log, 23:12?
Day 3, 23:12?
I don't know what's going on.
I decide to sleep.

Ugh, I feel sick. Scratch that.
At present, no change in the targets.
For an unknown reason, I do not feel 100%.
For some reason,
the right side of the back of my head throbs.
Do you honestly need to think about the reason?!
Listen up, maggot!
Today you're going to watch them!
Got that?!
Y-Yes.

What's going on here?!
It's already day four.
Any developments?
Same old. At present, nothing is notewor—
Except now!
Bravo went outside!
I'll leave this to you!
Hey!
A meeting at night.
You finally grew impatient and made your move.
Now, take me to DT.
I've scoped out the place.
You can't get out from the bathroom.
The back door goes into the kitchen.
The bartender does not seem suspicious.
Now we just need to wait for the guests to come.
Damn you, seductress, how much do you plan on drinking?
Another one please.
You're going to have more?!
What's wrong with her?
Stupid, sexy, masochist, and she can drink like a fish.
This is bad. I'm getting sleepy!
This is nuts.
If I had known, I would have asked for
yesterday's drinks to be extra watered down!
Another one please.
What?
Excuse me, another one please.
Damn this heavyweight!
I'm on day two here!
At this rate I'm going to lose this match.
What am I going to do?
I did quite well until now.
If I go down now, one could say that I died honorably in battle.
To be honest, I just want to lie down right now!
Damn it!
But if I sleep now and something fun happens,
I'd be pissed.
Mind if I sit here?
Don't ask after you sit down.
What are you doing here?
I could ask the same.
Put the gun away, I didn't come to fight.
I guess you have no more reason to fight, but...
But you have all the more reason? Maybe.
Not really.
We failed.
We couldn't save our friends
and we couldn't protect the life of our leader
that was supposed to be more important than our own.
All we could do is bite our fingers
and watch the last moments of our leader.
For us, there's no reason left to fight.
Don't take it personally, it's work for us, too.
Jeez, you men.
Forgetting etiquette for now, will you tell me one more thing?
What are you doing here?
Can't you see? Drinking.
Not that. What I mean is—
There's barely anything left that we can do.
We're just trying to do one of those things.
Whether you guys are watching or not,
we are going to do what we can.
That's all.
Sheesh, why do women have to talk
in such a complicated manner all the time?
The wife that left me did that, too.
Women are not such simple creatures
that they would reveal all their secrets so easily.
You'd do well to remember that.
I'm going home.
Oh, and this is your treat, right?
Huh? I guess.
Oh and...
Since you guys piss me off,
I'll just take this one shot. That's okay, right?
See ya.
You ask after you hit me?
Are you sure?
Leaving without any real results?
DT didn't appear after all this time.
And if we stick around here for much longer,
who knows what Variation will say to us.
You really think we can trust that woman?
I didn't really understand what she was saying,
but it didn't seem like she was lying.
No wonder they always pull one over you in the cabarets.
Women are an order of magnitude better at lying than men.
She said the same thing...
Whether you guys are watching or not...
What's wrong?
She'd noticed!
What?
I was alone then.
But she said "you guys."
So she knew about the tail all along?
It's no use.
They're both gone!
They got us.
Damn.
Let's hurry, KT.
Go? Where? Do you have some idea?
I don't have proof.
But if her plan is to dodge us and meet up with DT,
that old guy has something to do with it for sure.
If they're going to meet,
it'll be in that one place with no witnesses.
It all fits.
I know DT's over there.
This is...
Our leader.
Our friends.
Though your mortal bodies may be destroyed,
your souls live on in our hearts.
We will keep your souls in our memories.
We shall live on as your flesh and blood.
Those you left behind will never forget you.
We swear that we will inherit that devotion
and carve it into our hearts,
so that we may continue to walk on together.
Farewell, Princess,
Kon.

We have confirmed the deaths of DT and Ecarlate.
Thus, this mission has concluded.
We swear that we will continue to walk on together.
Next Time
Thank you for enjoying Ixion Saga DT.
Due to the death of the main character,
this will be the last episode.
Starting with the next episode,
Ixion Saga ED will be starting, so please look forward to it.
(This is his personal wish.)
Hokaze Kon,
rest in peace.
