When did it start to rain?
The cityscape is reflected in the puddle, swaying cheerfully with the ripples. The fashionable city, the optimistic people—looks as if the prosperity would last through all eras and never die.
Newsboy: EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
Newsboy: The story of The Hero Pickles will be brought to the big screen! Rule, Britannia!
Sonetto: The Hero Pickles ... This is ...
Rockin' Girl: Hey, coming through! Tommy, is Regulus not here again today? If she doesn't show up, I'm taking that motorbike of hers.
Newsboy: Hey, don't be such a louse! Didn't you listen to the radio this morning? Her ship's been sunk!
Vertin: Are you talking about Regulus of the APPLe?
Newsboy: Who's asking?
Vertin: I'm her friend. She left something.
Newsboy: Huh! These are ...!
Looking at the records, the newsboy lets down his guard.
Newsboy: There's a good chance she's in the cafe over there. Just don't draw the attention of the coppers, eh?
Vertin: Thank you very much for your assistance.
Newsboy: You're very serious. If you really wanna thank me, just buy a copy of The Times.
Newsboy: See, it's all good news on the first two pages. That only comes along once in a thousand years!
Sonetto: I-I'll take a copy, please.
Sonetto puts away the newspaper carefully and runs towards the cafe while forcing herself to calm down.
Vertin: Do you like the world outside, Sonetto?
Sonetto: ...!
Sonetto: No ... I am just ...
Sonetto: I'm just curious. I'll throw it away when I've finished. Please don't think too much of it.
???: chewing sound
Sonetto: Hmm? That voice ...
Sonetto: Timekeeper, look at that table!
A piece of bread is floating in the air above a table of the cafe's, disappearing little by little.
Regulus: Mmm Mhm! Yummy! Mmm, so good!
Regulus: One more Earl Grey with brown sugar, please! ♪
Sonetto: Oh, now I understand! She's using an optical arcane skill to make herself invisible.
Sonetto takes out her pen quickly and points it at the cup held by "the invisible one."
Sonetto: Am himmel wechselt man die bühnenbilder!
Regulus: Whoa ...! Wh-what?!
Regulus: Ah! My tea!
Sonetto: Regulus, will you cooperate or not? I need your answer.
Regulus: ...
Regulus: The Foundation is an authority working with the government!
Regulus: If I register with you, my location will be exposed. You'll know where I am, no matter where I go.
Regulus: I am not doing it!
Sonetto sighs and looks at the sky.
It seems to be her habit before a battle.
Sonetto: ... May the peace be with us.
Regulus: No weakness will give me away this time! Catch me if you can!
Sonetto: Well ... time to change my strategy.
Sonetto: Please guide me.
Regulus: Ouch! It hurts! Hahaha ... If that's what you got, this pirate will not be caught!
Regulus: You better listen up! Now's the time to rock your world!
Sonetto: Don't worry, Timekeeper. I now have enough Moxie.
Sonetto: I can see further and hear better. I can now summon a stronger ritual capable of unveiling the useless facades.
Sonetto: Turn your eyes on me and listen to my incantation. Witness my Ultimate!
Vertin: This ... seems pretty dangerous.
Sonetto: Do not worry, Timekeeper. I will keep things in check.
