Update 75: Failure
The girl looks at you, her gaze cold, as if the two of you had never before met.
In the depths of the Porcelain Forest is a teleporter. Use it to travel to where the 'evil' waits. Destroying it will be your only atonement for the sin you have committed... So says Yggdrasil. That is all...
With that, the girl leaves from your sight.
Tch. Can you believe the nerve of that jerk?
I wonder what sin she was referring to.
Probably the fact that we had to kill the Abyssal King. He also said something about an evil that lives in the depths. I guess Guild Tidehunt isn't done with the Labyrinth yet. What do you think, Cassie, should we disband, or help them out?
...For now, let's just report back to the Senatus.
But why did Master Seyfried turn his blade against the Princess and I...? Alas... There’s no way of knowing now no matter how carefully I consider the problem. But enough of such talk. Would you like to see the Princess?
I suppose it can't hurt to hear what she has to say.
It seems my brother Seyfried had surrendered his human form and become Yggdrasil’s puppet... He may have worn my brother’s face, but he had not a human heart left inside him. ...Though in truth, the same could be said for myself. I have harnessed a wicked power to live so long in pursuit of my brother. I, too... am inhuman. I spend my days within the confines of this royal forest so that the wicked power does not consume me. ...But I fear this long life of mine no longer has a purpose. ’Tis sad, but my dream is dead. I thank you regardless. Now... Please leave me...
I am Olympia. I am an automated soldier created and directed by Yggdrasil to hunt evil. My directive is to cooperate with you in this Deep City until the evil that sleeps is exterminated. The rest of my memory banks are... empty.
Oh geez, I think I hit her a little too hard back then.
I'm surprised that she managed to survive that.
A-Anyways uh, about our guild...
Let's check out that teleporter first. Then see what everyone else thinks.
Can't say I was expecting this.
I-I-I see e-eyes on the walls.
I'm starting to get the jibblies. We really should go back.
Alright. Hopefully people are willing to help us out with this.
Are you kidding me!? After they already killed one of us!? Screw them and whatever the hell they want!
...I see. That was... vocal. What about the rest of you?
...I dunno. I guess I'll think about it.
Mmm...
Tch. Do whatever you want, I'm out of here. Come on, Susan.
I suppose this is goodbye, then. Good luck with whatever it is you need to do.
And the name's MEGAQUEEN!
The Abyssal King once told me to manage this inn for explorers, and I intend to honor that duty. Feel free to stop by if you need to rest or stay the night.
That is the purpose of we automated soldiers, after all.
She really has lost all her memories...
Yeah, I gotta say... I don't think I'm up for this.
I see. Well, thanks for telling us how you really feel.
No hard feelings, I hope. Sorry, but from the way you described the place, I don't think I would be cut out for whatever you all have to go through. But I'll be wishing you luck! Maybe we'll meet again someday.
So, why aren't you allowed to help us out?
Our strength surpasses that of mere humans. But we cannot go with you unless Yggdrasil permits it.
Ouch. It must be really bitter about the death of the Abyssal King.
I'm surprised that trees can actually hold grudges.
Sorry, but this isn't really fun anymore. So I'm leaving too.
Well, I don't know how many people would find constantly risking their lives in such a dangerous place to be fun, but this is probably for the best. Especially for someone as young as you.
Stay safe out there, kiddo.
I know you are strong. However, you must rest sometimes. Humans cannot be fixed if they are broken.
Okay, it's really weird to see her actually being concerned for us. Like, reeeeaaally weird.
I'm not sure how to feel about the Olympia we know being gone...
You too, Miss Alice?
I'm sorry, but I don't think I would be very helpful to you all. I'd probably just get in the way...
Nonsense! You'd be very helpful!
Especially after nearly everyone else left. You and Charlotte are the only ones left, and she hasn't made her decision yet.
Um... I'm sure she'd be a lot more useful than I could ever be. And b-besides, I really need to get home.
I... I understand. Goodbye, Miss Alice.
I'm sorry. Goodbye.
You must not let down your guard. If you miscalculate at this stage, you will meet a gruesome fate. Be careful.
Charlotte, are you leaving as well?
...No. I was sent here to assist you. The Tidehunt guild still has business in the Labyrinth. So I intend to stick with you to the very end, until this is all over. Besides I need to make sure Akatsuki makes it out alive so he can get back together with Alice.
Huh? What did ya say?
Nothing! Nothing! You heard nothing!
Prepare yourselves fully and rest well before attempting this final challenge. May you come back alive.
Let's hope our trip is successful.
Um, Cassandra?
What?
I know our target is right there, but don't you think it would be best to explore the rest of this floor, first?
What's the point? All we're supposed to do is to take down this “evil.” Does it matter if we explore every inch of this hellhole or not?
But... I suppose if you think that's the best course of action to take.
Bring it on ya... What the hell are ya, anyway?
Cassandra! This was a bad idea! We need to retre-
And you call me impulsive.
F-F-Faye!?
Sup? I've just been hanging out in this black... death... void place. Or whatever it is-ACK! LET GO OF ME CASSIE!
Sorry. Do you have any idea how devastated we were when you... you...!?
Yeah uh, I saw all that when you all just kind of fell apart. Really, I'm kind of disappointed a lot of you just gave up. But hey! We can fix all that, you know?
...Faye, you realize we're dead, right?
Um, I know it's been a while since we all died together and got sent here, but you know I can just bring us back, right?
Oh, right. Wait, why didn't you try to bring yourself back before?
...Hey, I tried! But uhhh... I forgot how. Hey, don't look at me like that! It's been a long time since I had to do this.
So we're basically stuck in limbo or whatever forever?
Hang on! I didn't say I gave up on that! Now uh, wait a minute while I try a couple of things.
You didn't think this Let's Play was over, did you? Oh no, there's a lot more left to cover.
