【Before Battles】
Stein: Izumi! Watch out!
Three robots were charging at Izumi from different directions. Any sane person could foresee the deadly outcome if a human was hit by them.
Izumi: Don’t think you can hurt me with these crappy metal!
Izumi seized the right timing to grab the robots coming from left and right. Then she spun on her heel to throw the two robots at the one coming ahead.
Bam! The three robots crashed into each other, while Izumi remained unharmed.
Tonnie: No...They’re not finished!
Izumi: Combining together? Then I’ll kick your ass again——Cough!
Izumi: “Not right now…”
As Izumi coughed blood, the sudden blood loss brought her down on her knee. In the meantime, the combined robot was about to smash Izumi with its gigantic steel arm——
【After Battles】
Clank——Tonnie fended off the arm with a metal sword for Izumi!
Stein: Izumi, are you alright?
Izumi: ...I’m fine.
Stein: Great——
Tonnie: Einstein, it’s no time to chat. Give me a hand!
Stein: Okay okay. I heard you.
Izumi spotted a mechanical arm when Stein raised her arm. At this moment, her mechanical arm started glowing blue, as if it was wrapped up by a powerful energy membrane.
Stein: Newton, dodge!
When Tonnie retreated, Stein punched the robot hard——BOOM! The robot was blasted away to the other side of the car. Broken in the battle, it started emitting black smoke.
Stein: Phew...That was close.
Tonnie: Don’t just stand over there. Our mission hasn't been done yet.
Stein: Right. We still have children to save.
It didn’t take Stein and Tonnie long to disable the blood extraction machine. The children were all safe when the machine was shut down.
Izumi: Who are you two exactly…
Tonnie and Stein took off their disguise, revealing the true identities.
Stein: Sorry about lying to you, but we mean no harm.
Newton: We’re the scientists from Lomond Manor. My real name is Newton, and he’s Einstein. We infiltrated this train to investigate the crime committed by Copernicus, one of our scientists.
Izumi: Lomond Manor? I’ve never heard of such an organization…
Einstein: Of course you haven’t, because you’re not from this world.
Izumi: So it’s true...That explains the strange feeling when I was using alchemy…
Newton: A different world...What are you talking about?
Einstein: My mentor once told me that the universe was way bigger than we could imagine.
Einstein: There are other existing dimensions apart from the realm we’re living on, and Izumi is a visitor from another dimension.
Newton: But...how come?
The train rocked along with a sharp noise, which had lasted for a while. In the meantime, Izumi protected Einstein and Newton with her body.
Newton: Ouch...The train seems to have stopped…
Einstein: Something has happened to the engine. Let’s check it out.
They tried to find out what had happened to the locomotive by peeking from the window, but something shocked Izumi——There was a hole in the sky as if it was melted, revealing the image of a prosperous city.
Izumi: The image inside the hole is the world I live in…
Einstein: And I guess that’s why you’re here.
