Previous	Main Story	Next
Citron ——. Phantom “Richard. Do you intend to repeat your offense from ten years ago? Even if you kill this man, your crimes will not disappear.” Richard “What are you saying—.” Izumi .... (Citron-kun... I can tell you’re surprised even from so far away.) (Of course you’re surprised. Guy-san couldn’t perform like this when we first met.) (Citron-kun, you were the one who gave Guy-san the opportunity to regain his past. That’s why he can express so many emotions now....) Staff <<We will now take a fifteen minute intermission.>> Sakuya The audience looked like they were enjoying the performance. Tsuzuru The Phantom of the Opera is well-known internationally, so it might’ve been easy for them to understand. Mika <<Everyone. I will guide you along, so please come this way—.>> Izumi Mika-san.... Chikage Says he’ll guide us. Itaru All right, it’s time to put our plan to action. Masumi Let’s go. Citron .... (Why is everyone here...? And did Guy change so much because...?) Soldier A <<Excuse me, Citronia-sama.>> Citron <<What is it?>> Soldier A <<There’s somebody who would like to speak to you, Citronia-sama.>> Citron <<Somebody...?>> Soldier A <<They said that you were old friends, and that you would immediately know who they were....>> Citron ——. (Could it be...?) <<I understand. I will head over right away.>> Soldier A <<This way.>> Mika <<This way. Hurry—.>> Tsuzuru This place really is full of guards. Izumi He was right about the tough security.... Itaru Hey, if they find us, we’re gonna enter a battle. Prepare your weapons and armor, Sakuya. Sakuya Eh!? A battle!? Weapons and armor!? I don’t have either...! Chikage You make everything into a game. Mika <<Once you climb these stairs, you’ll enter a hallway that connects to the balcony.>> Chikage We’re supposed to head up these stairs. Sakuya Yes! Tangerine ——. Izumi !? Mika <<Prince Tangerine....>> Tangerine <<You’re nii-sama’s servant’s...?>> Chikage Prince? Tsuzuru Eh!? Don’t tell me it’s one he doesn’t get along with...? Mika <<He is Citronia-sama’s younger brother, the fourth prince.>> Chikage It’s the one he gets along with. Sakuya Phew.... Tsuzuru No, but, won’t we still get in trouble if he finds out? Mika <<Prince, there is a reason for this—.>> Tangerine <<There’s trouble! Nii-sama is in danger!>> Mika <<Eh...?>> Mika <<Prince Orange and Prince Navel came up with such a plan.... We need to hurry and tell Citronia-sama.>> Tangerine <<I can’t find nii-sama. Maybe they’ve already—.>> Mika <<——.>> Izumi What is it? Sakuya What’s wrong? They’re acting strange.... Chikage The younger princes are after Citron. Tsuzuru Eh!? Mika <<I apologize. Please go with Prince Tangerine to tell Guy-sama what’s going on!>> <<I will search for Citronia-sama.>> Chikage <<Got it.>> Change of plans. We’re going to tell Guy-san what’s going on. Mika will search for Citron. Izumi ——. Tsuzuru Wait, does that mean he might’ve been caught already? Itaru Hey, wait, seriously? Masumi Let’s go back to Guy for now—. Sakuya —We should look for Citron-san too. Izumi Eh? Tsuzuru No, that’s way too dangerous. We don’t even know our way around; we’re gonna get caught by one of the guards. Sakuya But Citron-san is in danger. I can’t sit here and do nothing—. Itaru I understand how you feel. And getting caught by guards is one thing—but if the culprit finds you, your life might be in danger too. Sakuya ——. Chikage I’ll go. Izumi Chikage-san...? Chikage I’m used to these kinds of situations. I can speak Zahran, too. I think I can manage. Sakuya But—. Chikage I’ll make sure you guys and Citron are all safe. I won’t let anyone die. Because I promised Hisoka. You guys should follow Mika’s directions and take Prince Tangerine to Guy-san to tell him what’s going on. If they find out that the prince leaked their plans, his life will be at risk too. You should have Guy-san protect him. Izumi It’s too dangerous for you to go alone. Tsuzuru That’s right! You’re being ridiculous! Chikage I’ll be fine. Believe in me. Please. Izumi ——. Sakuya ...All right. Tsuzuru Please make sure you come back safely. Chikage I know. <<Prince Tangerine. They will guide you to Guy-san.>> Tangerine <<—Got it.>> Masumi Let’s hurry. *Footsteps* Itaru .... Chikage ...For some reason the guy who seems like the most dead weight stayed behind. Itaru Well, I have some trouble when it comes to stamina, but I just might be useful, you know? Chikage How tremendously unreliable.... Itaru Now, now. Chikage ...Fine. Let’s go. You probably can’t get back on your own now anyway. Itaru Exactly. Chikage Let me say this now: I can’t promise you that I can protect you under these circumstances. Itaru K. Chikage So you were fully prepared to take that risk... Since when were you this kind of character? Itaru That goes for both of us. Chikage That’s true. Soldier C !? Chikage ——. Soldier C <<What are you doing here!?>> Chikage <<We’re here as related parties of a Japanese troupe, but we got lost.... Ah, here’s my ID.>> Soldier C <<Return to the theater immediately.>> Chikage <<It’s my first time in a royal palace, you see—can’t I wander around for a bit longer?>> Soldier C <<Of course not. This area is off-limits.>> Chikage <<Could you please do something about that...?>> Itaru Skill... “Under the Table.” Soldier C <<Hm? Th-that sake is...!>> <<F-fine. You can look around for just a bit.>> Chikage <<—Thank you so much.>> What did you give him? Itaru Secret sake from Tsuzuru’s brother. Chikage I didn’t think you’d actually be useful.... Radio voice <<...We lured him into the trap cellar. Proceed with the plan....>> Soldier C ——. Chikage This way. Hide. Itaru ? Soldier C <<...How’s the situation.>> Radio voice <<The prince’s subordinate sniffed out the plan, but the prince was lured by the decoy. We’ve locked him up in the trap cellar just as planned.>> <<...All that’s left is to drop the chandelier.>> Soldier C <<Got it. There’s nothing amiss on this end.>> Chikage .... Itaru What are they talking about? Chikage Let’s go. Citron is in the trap cellar.
