5 5 301 DialogEnable Under the flickering aurora, she lets the cold wind mixed with frost and snow beat on her body and looks ahead.
6 6 301 Nightfall drapes over the snowy forest in a thin veil of endless darkness.
7 7 301 She clenches her spear tightly in the blistering cold as she looks out at the dim red lights illuminating the forest like fireflies.
8 8 301 Lift. Aim. Throw. Her many battles had honed this skill into one powerful, fluid motion.
9 9 301 With each throw of her spear, the dim red lights drastically reduce in number.
10 10 301 However, many more still remain. The mechanoid creatures cloaked in darkness rush out of the forest and charge the humanoid hybrid girl standing in the middle of the snowfield.
11 11 301 Aside from the frigid wind, she is only accompanied by rows of spears standing at the ready.
12 12 301 She lifts up a spear from the snow, raises her front legs, then stomps on the ground with a heavy thud. The force from the impact sends a wave of snow billowing forward as it falls down.
13 13 301 Snow plasters her frame in the harsh wind, giving her armor a lustrous silver sheen.
14 14 301 The mechanoid creatures lay scattered on the ground, mottling the snowfield with their ink-black remains.
15 15 301 Before her, the rampaging mechanoids roar as if to devour all in their path.
16 16 301 Behind her, the faint flame of humanity glitters as smoke rises from the camp.
17 17 301 Following the lamenting cry of the last mechanoid, she plunges her spear back into the ground.
18 18 301 Rosetta and her spear have become an insurmountable gorge for the enemy.
19 19 301 Over what felt like countless years, this has been the day-to-day routine for the Forest Guard here in the snowfield—a battlefield for Rosetta to wander alone.
20 20 301 Under the night sky, Rosetta returns her gaze ahead once more.

22 22 301 AniZhuanchangBegin What she sees is a new dawn, or perhaps the approaching dusk.
26 26 301 AniZhuanchangEnd As the confrontation gradually settles, Murmansk welcomes a long-lost peace.
27 27 301 The reconstruction of the port is carried out in an orderly manner with all hands on deck. Naturally, the Forest Guard joins in the reconstruction efforts.
28 28 301 Working in teams, they vigorously transport building materials around the port on their backs in loads far beyond humanly possible.
29 29 301 A humanoid Construct is seen walking among the Forest Guard, which seems peculiar to outsiders.

32 32 301 1 Forest Guard A Rosetta, let us carry your load. 2
33 33 301 Rosetta It's nothing. After all, I'm already carrying way less than you because of my humanoid frame. 1
34 34 301 Rosetta Don't worry. Go on without me. We have to stay on schedule. 1
35 35 301 Forest Guard A Um... Okay. We'll proceed to the destination. 2

40 40 301 The humanoid hybrid guard nods to Rosetta before galloping and leaving.
41 41 301 AniZhuanchangBegin She quickly disappears out of view. Rosetta tightens her grip around the materials on her shoulders and trudges toward the destination.
45 45 301 After completing today's reconstruction work, Rosetta returns to the camp only to discover that neither her companions nor their weapons are to be found.
46 46 301 Sensing the Punishing Virus looming in the air, she subconsciously grips her spear.
53 53 301 1 The familiar mechanical creatures dart by outside the camp. The spear in Rosetta's hand quickly transforms and begins to surge with electric energy at its tip.
54 54 301 ??? Stay there!
55 55 301 Her comrade's sudden shout stops her in her tracks.
75 75 301 After hearing this and checking her surroundings, Rosetta motions for her to step back before raising her spear and unleashing a concentrated blast of electric energy in the direction of the branch.
82 82 301 The blast obliterates most of the Corrupted. However, the Corrupted drags the remnants of its shell as it roars and charges at Rosetta.
83 83 301 Right as Rosetta lifts her spear to follow up her attack, another spear comes flying out of the forest and pins the Corrupted against a tree stump.

86 86 301 1 Diana Hehe, you got slow, Rosetta. 2
87 87 301 Rosetta You're not wrong. This frame focuses on firepower at the expense of mobility. 1
88 88 301 Rosetta Your wounds... 1
89 89 301 Diana Don't worry about it. A few cuts and bruises are nothing to us. Fortunately, we cleared out all of the surrounding Corrupted. 2
90 90 301 Rosetta looks at her comrades. Each member's frame shows signs of injury.
99 99 301 AniZhuanchangEnd After tending to her wounded comrades, Diana reports the situation to the port residents while the others return to the reconstruction team.
100 100 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Seeing the orderly procession of comrades before her, Rosetta makes her way out of the camp.
104 104 301 AniZhuanchangEnd What she sees is a new dawn, or perhaps the approaching dusk.
105 105 301 She drags her injured body back to camp. The image of her comrades resting, their condition now stabilized, is branded in her M.I.N.D.
106 106 301 Like a knight guarding her comrades, she had selflessly completed her mission and protected them once more. A warm current surges through her body, expelling the coldness she suffered from during the previous battle.
107 107 301 AniZhuanchangBegin She retreats to an isolated corner of the camp to tend to her wounds before the others can notice.
