13 13 301 Lowering her head, Nanami looks absolutely miserable. Karenina sighs, no longer able to keep a sullen face, and stops being angry.
14 14 301 Karenina It's fine. I wasn't mad in the first place because, you know... 1
15 15 301 Karenina You know, today is April Fool's Day. I'm not going to get pissed off by that little prank of yours. 1
16 16 204 2 1
17 17 301 Nanami Oh, Karey deary is the best! 2
18 18 301 Karenina Alright, alright, stop interrupting my work already. I still have to finish the routine maintenance work on Gestalt's power supply... 1
19 19 301 Nanami suddenly remembers that the main reason she is here is to warn Karenina of the anomaly inside Gestalt.
20 20 204 2 5
21 21 301 Nanami Aah! Mecha babushka... I mean, Gestalt! Gestalt is in danger! 2
22 22 301 Karenina What? 1
23 23 301 Nanami Nanami discovered a major bug in Gestalt! If we ignore it, the whole Babylonia could be crippled! 2
24 24 301 Karenina What are you talking about... Gestalt has the highest-level defense system for physical and logical dangers. There's no way a bug appears without triggering the alarm. 1
25 25 301 Karenina is still quite doubtful, but Nanami's intense earnestness gives her story a little more credibility.

29 29 301 1 Lee Don't listen to her... 3
30 30 301 Lee walks in from outside, passing Karenina the files in his hand.
31 31 301 Lee This is the report of the checkup your Engineering Force requested Asimov's team to do on the logic nodes of Gestalt. They had to have me bring it to you on my way back to the lounge. 3
32 32 301 Karenina There are no bugs or errors found inside Gestalt on the report. The routine maintenance has been carried out with no deviation as well... 1
33 33 301 Lee So, what tricks are you pulling this time, Nanami? 3
34 34 204 2
35 35 301 Nanami This isn't a trick... Nanami really did see a large anomaly dimension in there! 2
36 36 301 Lee Come on, at least add some technical specificity to your lies the second time... 3
37 37 301 Lee Ignoring the fact that usual Constructs can't just connect to Gestalt without its permission—if there is indeed a critical bug like that, it would have been discovered already. Not to mention... 3
38 38 301 Lee You have used the same lie to trick me this morning... exactly the same. 3
52 52 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 Nanami Why... why does no one believe me? Nanami was telling the truth this time... 1
53 53 301 After getting kicked out, Nanami has gone looking for a few other Constructs, but none have chosen to believe her. At her wit's end, she is once again back in the Gray Raven lounge.
54 54 301 —She has no basis for this assumption, but her instinct tells her that only one human will believe her.
55 55 301 Nanami Has Nanami really lied that much? Is no one ever going to believe Nanami again? 1
56 56 301 Nanami Does that mean... Nanami is alone again? 1
57 57 301 In the past, Nanami would wander the wilds by herself, talk to herself, solve problems with the data she had by herself, head for an imaginary destination by herself... and she has always been fine.
58 58 301 Nanami Nanami never needed anyone but herself... except this doesn't feel quite right... 1
61 61 301 Lying on the recliner, Nanami curls up and starts to fall asleep... At that moment, the door to the lounge opens, and in come two people chatting.
62 62 201 1 500155
63 63 301 1 Chrome Indeed. From our previous experience, the tactics we use when confronted by a large group of enemies still need optimization... 1
64 64 302 We can go over it again at the lounge's sandbox. 65
65 65 301 Chrome Commandant, someone seems to be inside already? 1
66 66 302 Nanami? Why are you here... 67
67 67 203 1 0.25 -400
68 68 201 2 500091 400
69 69 301 1 Nanami Commandant, Captain Chrome... You're back from your meeting! 2
70 70 301 Chrome Have you been waiting for us, Nanami? What's wrong? 1
71 71 302 I'm sorry, but we don't have time to play with you today. 72
72 72 301 Nanami I'm not here to play! Nanami has an important task that needs your help! Look... 2
73 73 301 Nanami remembers that no one has believed her so far due to her lies, and she doubts the two of you will believe her either.
74 74 301 Nanami Sigh... Forget it... You won't believe me anyway... 2
75 75 301 Chrome That assessment is up to us. Whether to tell your truth, on the other hand, is up to you. 1
76 76 302 Tell us what's going on first, either way. 77
77 77 301 Nanami Are you sure? Although it's quite unbelievable, Nanami saw it with her own eyes! 2
78 78 301 Seeing that the two of you are keen to listen, Nanami decides not to hold back.
79 79 204 2 5
80 80 301 Nanami I've discovered an expanding anomaly inside Gestalt, with these weird programs who attacked Nanami! If we don't take care of it, I think it will cripple Gestalt! 2
81 81 301 Nanami But no one is willing to believe Nanami... 2
82 82 301 Chrome, who has been listening quietly, nods and offers his analysis.
83 83 301 Chrome If the anomaly happens inside of Gestalt... it will be a much trickier complication than an invasion from outside. 1
84 84 301 Just like how a human body is much more equipped to handle viral infections instead of cancerous mutation of their cells.
85 85 301 Chrome Kamui and Wanshi are both out on a mission. I doubt I can contact them. How about the Gray Ravens, Commandant? 1
86 86 302 (Shake your head) 87
87 87 301 Chrome In that case, the two of us are all we can deploy right now. That being the case, I still think that we should investigate this incident. But it might be quite dangerous, Commandant... 1
88 88 302 Don't worry about me. Let's go. 89
89 89 204 1 1
90 90 301 Chrome smiles, seemingly expecting your answer.
91 91 301 Chrome As you wish. Nanami, what do you need us to do? 1
92 92 204 1 14
93 93 301 Nanami Does that mean you believe Nanami?! 2
94 94 301 Chrome I don't know how you entered Gestalt, and Kamui did warn me about your pranks on April Fool's Day after he was tricked by you earlier today... 1
95 95 301 Chrome But the anomaly you spoke of could be devastating. It's better to be safe than sorry. 1
96 96 302 Agreed. 97 I'd rather it be one of your pranks. 97
97 97 204 2 1
98 98 301 Nanami That's wonderful news! Then you should both follow Nanami now! 2
99 99 301 Chrome and you look at each other, uncertain what Nanami actually means.
100 100 204 2 8
101 101 301 Nanami Oh... I forgot that not everyone can just connect to Gestalt directly... 2
102 102 302 Huh? What was that? 103
103 103 301 Nanami Don't worry! Nanami has a plan! 2
107 107 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Nanami drags the both of you out of the lounge.
108 108 302 Hold on, hold on! Where are we going? 109
109 109 201 1 500091
110 110 301 1 Nanami To an "immersion frame," any one of them! 1
111 111 301 You arrive before a device that looks like a metal sleeping pod, and Nanami forcefully put both Chrome and you into the device.
112 112 301 Nanami The backdoor from last time should still be open... You can connect to Gestalt if Nanami uses her mind to guide you and create the virtual space! 1
113 113 302 How would that work... 114
114 114 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin As the door to the pod closes, darkness immediately floods your mind, and you go unconscious.
