Mimika, as you requested, I ordered a fully equipped team to get ready at our branch.
|
2 |
Thank you!
|
3 |
Though I still don't understand why you had all the Explosive Spears moved to the branch...
|
3 |
Shouldn't we move them to the heart of the Sea of Flames?
|
4 |
What's on your mind exactly, Mimika? It should be time you tell us.
|
5 |
Right. I think it would be really tough to carry the heavy Spears through the Sea of Incinero Petals.
|
6 |
That's when I came up with the alternative to ground transport: the air!
|
6 |
The air?
|
7 |
Back in the day, my manager Tang Manliu spent a fortune on a freight catapult for our branch. I figured, if we can catapult goods, why not the Spears too?
|
8 |
I-I didn't expect that!
|
9 |
If we can catapult the Spears at the maximum power, and correct their trajectory while they fly over the Sea of Flames, they should land right at their destination.
|
10 |
Won't this trigger immediate explosions upon landing?
|
11 |
Rest assured. Mr. Mortefi said an initiation is needed for them to explode.
|
12 |
To ensure everything goes smoothly, Mr. Mortefi has calculated the trajectory, and Mr. Woodrow has confirmed that the path won't be affected by the Gravity Storm.
|
13 |
Hey, Mimika. The catapult is all set.
|
14 |
All right. The rest is yours, miss. This time, we will put an end to it all!
|
15 |
That spot is like the epicenter of the Gravity Storm. If we just launch the spears right through it... They would likely get thrown off course by the storm.
|
15 |
So the Tacet Mark is in the gravity storm's center?
|
16 |
Hey, Rover, you see that big building? The Tacet Mark core of all these Incinero Petals is right there…
|
17 |
I think the only option is to escape from the Gravity Storm and give it a try up close.
|
18 |
Hey Rover, remember when you met the Inferno Rider and it whispered “Rush… Till the end...”?
|
19 |
Maybe inside that TD, the wishes of the fallen Midnight Rangers still linger.
|
20 |
Rover, if you can outrun that TD, those fallen solders may help you… Help you reach the end, the finish line…
|
20 |
I understand.
|
21 |
Hey, Mimika. The catapult is all set.
|
22 |
All right. The rest is yours, miss. This time, we will put an end to it all!
|
1 |
Like it or not, we've already declined their package. Let's just pretend this order never existed.
|
2 |
You didn't ask anyone before sending that rejection, did you?
|
3 |
Even if I had, do you seriously think we could've delivered it?
|
4 |
Of course! No order is too tough for us to handle! "We Promise, We Deliver!"
|
5 |
So why did you even make the promise in the first place? Ugh...
|
6 |
You're talking about the Sea of Flames in Guixu Port City. There's no way I'm letting any of our staff go to such a dangerous place!
|
7 |
But, but...
|
8 |
Besides, who would order anything to a place like that? It's obviously a prank. What was even in the package?
|
9 |
Uh... it was some food, medicine, and warm clothes for one person...
|
10 |
Think about it! Whoever made the order must be trapped there, starving and freezing. That's why they ordered those things!
|
11 |
Even if that's the case, and I'm not saying it is... We wouldn't make much, just barely enough to cover our costs.
|
12 |
Listen, if they really needed it, wouldn't they just place another order?
|
13 |
What if they can't just place another order?
|
14 |
Enough! This is my call to make as manager. Leave it.
|
15 |
This isn't a blame game. We tell our customers “We Promise, We Deliver.” Is that all just for show?
|
16 |
Why you...!
|
16 |
Excuse me, are you talking about this "order"?
|
17 |
Wait... This is the rejection email I sent out! How did it end up here...?
|
18 |
Mimika! You must have sent it to the wrong recipient when you grabbed my touchpad earlier!
|
19 |
There we go, it must be fate! Let me deliver it, please!
|
20 |
Oh my... I can’t stand this...
|
20 |
So, was this a misunderstanding?
|
21 |
I'm really sorry we wasted your time because of our mistake...
|
21 |
Yes, this is a waste of my time.

We'll issue a formal apology later, but for now, please allow me to sort out this strange order.

Sea of Flames... is that a dangerous place?

Hm. The flower there is spectacular for sure, but it's lethal at the same time.

(Jump:33)
|
31 |
You really don't know? The Sea of Flames is a vast field of Incinero Petals whose pollen is extremely toxic.
|
32 |
Not to mention the horrible TDs! Few have made it out there alive, as far as I know.
|

(Jump:33)
|
33 |
Now you see how dangerous it is, Mimika?
|
34 |
And that's exactly why we're needed!
|
35 |
That customer must know that only Lollo Logistics can deliver what he needs there.
|
36 |
Just let me go! Please?
|
37 |
I said no!
|
38 |
But why?!
|
39 |
Just take no for an answer... Ugh, she's so stubborn. Miss, could you help me convince her?

Don't risk your life so lightly.
(Jump:40)

I agree. Fulfill your promise!
(Jump:42)

You heard it? Those are words of reason! Don't go there!

I will go! If I don't, we may as well tell all of our customers that our slogan is a lie.

(Jump:44)

42 |
That's right! No matter what, we have to fulfill our orders! That's what we do at Lollo Logistics!
|
43 |
Miss! What are you...
|
43 |
(Jump:44)
|
44 |
Now, just let me take it from here!
|
45 |
I'll take full responsibility as the courier for this job! Is that fair enough?
|
46 |
Hey!!!
|
47 |
Mimika grabs the touchpad, puts on her delivery gear, and hurries away.
|
48 |
Damn it! What now... She must have left for the Sea of Flames!
|
49 |
Why? Of all places, why there...
|
49 |
"Of all places"?
|
50 |
Sigh... We don't let our employees go near the Sea of Flames. That place is off-limits.
|
51 |
The incident dates back to when Lollo Logistics established our first Jinzhou branch.
|
52 |
That place got overrun by Incinero Petals, spewing toxic pollen that drove everyone away.
|
53 |
And to make things worse, the Center for Wutherological Climate Studies found those Gravity Storms raging in the area. Talk about adding insult to injury.
|
54 |
If that pollen ever got swept up into the upper atmosphere by those storms, it would spell disaster for Jinzhou and the surrounding regions.
|
54 |
That sounds really dangerous...
|
55 |
Absolutely. At the time, the researchers figured out that the only way to stop the spread was to deactivate the Tacet Mark core of those flowers.
|
56 |
The Huaxu Academy created Explosive Spears to do the job, but the terrain was too dangerous for any regular vehicle to get through.
|
57 |
Most of the Tacetite vehicles were tied up at the frontlines with the Midnight Rangers, fighting off the TD Outbreak, so we couldn't get the Spears to the center of the Sea of Flames.
|
58 |
That left Lollo Logistics to step in with our spare Tacetite vehicles and deliver them. The plan was for the Midnight Rangers to use them to take out the Tacet Marks, risking their lives in the process.
|
59 |
Everyone knew how dangerous the job was, but we took it on anyway—after all, our motto is "We Promise, We Deliver."
|
60 |
But... we couldn't get there in time. Our couriers tried their best, but they couldn't deliver the Spears in time.
|
61 |
In the end, only one Spear made it through, and even though we fell short, the Midnight Rangers thanked us for our help.
|
62 |
They had most of their people escort our couriers to safety, while a few brave souls stayed behind to charge at the Tacet Mark, knowing it could cost them their lives.
|
78 |
They passed the Spear along, one after another, trying to get it to the Tacet Mark. But the deadly pollen was too much. In the end, they all ended up Overclocking.
|
78 |
Then why is there still pollen there?
|
64 |
Sigh... The Spear got damaged during transport, so it didn't fully deactivate the Tacet Mark when it hit. The explosion never went off.
|
65 |
But, at least the attack weakened the Tacet Mark enough to stop the spread of the Incinero Petals, and the pollen concentration dropped to a level that no longer threatens Jinzhou.
|
66 |
Even though no one blamed them, the survivors at Lollo Logistics were wracked with guilt, thinking their mistake cost those brave soldiers their lives.
|
67 |
That mission left a permanent scar on our company. After that, we made it a rule that any major order had to be handled by Resonators with combat skills.
|
68 |
"We Promise, We Deliver"... It's just easier said than done...
|
69 |
Now you see why that place is such a taboo for us. We don't want couriers like Mimika getting mixed up with the Sea of Flames.
|
70 |
All right. That's enough blabbering from me. Let’s focus on finding Mimika...
|
79 |
Ah, that girl is as stubborn as a mule and never listens to anyone, but she's also known for being ridiculously fast. If I don't head out right now, I might not be able to catch up to her.
|
79 |
Maybe I can help.
|
80 |
No, no, miss! How could I bother you with this...
|
80 |
I am partially responsible for Mimika running off.
|
73 |
Eh... But...
|
74 |
All right then. Thank you very much for your assistance.
|
75 |
Let's search for her on the outskirts of the Sea of Flames first. I've sent you the coordinates.
|
81 |
Would you go with me, miss?
|
81 |
(Go with Tang Manliu)
|
81 |
(Go alone)
(Jump:82)
|
82 |
Okay. Then I'll go first. I'll see you there.
|
1 |
Hey, aren't you that Rover? You awake?
|
1 |
Professor Woodrow. Why are you here?
|
2 |
This is the weather observatory in the Port City of Guixu. You passed out during a battle with the Inferno Rider. Some guys from Lollo Logistics brought you here.
|
2 |
The Inferno Rider?
|
3 |
Oh, that's the Tacet Discord you just met. It looks like a rider on a motorbike, so I named it the Inferno Rider. A good name, isn't it?
|
3 |
And that's the TD you put a bounty on?
|
4 |
Hahaha! That’s right. There’s a reason why we must put it down.
|
5 |
Our detection shows that the anomalous gravity field here is giving birth to a giant storm, which will sweep the pollen of Incinero Petal to the upper air.
|
5 |
Just like the crisis years ago.
|
6 |
So you know about it. That'll save me the explanation.
|
7 |
Incinero Petal is not a kind of plant, but an animal Tacet Discord. The flower-like structure is actually the end of its limbs.
|
8 |
To eliminate the Incinero Petals themselves is pointless. To stop the pollen from spreading, we must destroy the Tacet Mark at its core.
|
9 |
Initially, we were thinking about blowing that thing up...
|
9 |
...But the Inferno Rider came along.
|
10 |
Technically, it didn't "come" to us; it was "discovered". That Inferno Rider seems to have been in the depths of Sea of Flames since that crisis many years ago.
|
11 |
Launching a direct assault on the Tacet Mark core deep within the Sea of Flames was already a daunting task, and with this Tacet Discord in play, our mission now seems nearly impossible.
|
11 |
Why don't you leave it to the Midnight Rangers?
|
12 |
The special properties of the Sea of Flames make it safer for solo missions, so I've posted the wanted posters, hoping to recruit some skilled Resonators to defeat that TD.
|
12 |
By the way, who rescued me?
|
13 |
We don't know either. You should ask the guys from Lollo Logistics who brought you back. They're right outside the observatory.
|
1 |
Thank goodness you both made it out safe this time. If anything had happened, you'd have not only gotten yourself killed, but also one of our customers!
|
2 |
Sob sob...
|
3 |
I swear, if anything had happened to you two, I'd never forgive myself.
|
3 |
Mimika, are you okay?
|
4 |
Oh, you're awake!
|
5 |
Oh, sob sob... I-I'm sorry, I really am...
|
5 |
I'm fine. But where have you been, Mimika?
|
6 |
Sob, I...
|
7 |
Let me explain. While she was tracking down the person who placed the order, the touchpad she grabbed got swept away by the Gravity Storm.
|
8 |
She got lost and wandered around until she bumped into me. I managed to get her out of there.
|
8 |
So that's why the touchpad ended up there...
|
9 |
Yeah, it must've been blown there by the Gravity Storm.
|
10 |
The Incinero Petals weren't too bad, but I didn’t expect such a powerful Tacet Discord to be lurking there...
|
10 |
How did you know? Did you rescue me?
|
11 |
Oh, was it really you who saved her?! That's... amazing!
|
12 |
Ugh... I wasn't always a manager, you know. I used to be a top courier, and getting people out of danger was just part of the job.
|
13 |
Wait, seriously?! I always thought you were just some old guy who coasted through the company long enough to land the manager gig...
|
14 |
Hey, watch it...
|
14 |
Did you witness the crisis from years ago?
|
15 |
I dread remembering it, but that TD... I think it was saying... "Charge... till the end..."
|
16 |
Back then, the Midnight Rangers who attacked the Tacet Mark core ended up creating a Tacet Field when they Overclocked. That Tacet Discord might've come from that.
|
17 |
I was one of the couriers who delivered the Explosive Spears. I saw it all happen.
|
18 |
The determination of those soldiers has now become the biggest obstacle to destroying the Tacet Mark. It's tragic.
|
19 |
So this crisis... it's kind of tied to Lollo Logistics, isn't it?
|
20 |
What are you talking about...
|
21 |
I mean, this could be our chance to redeem ourselves!
|
22 |
If we can help them neutralize that Tacet Mark core, it could make up for our past mistakes and fulfill the promise we failed to keep!
|
23 |
What are you rambling about? No way.
|
24 |
Come on, let me take care of this!
|
25 |
Stop. Lollo Logistics can't get involved anymore. We need to stick to our business principles.
|
26 |
Even if I agreed, headquarters would never approve. It's not profitable and it risks our employees' safety.
|
27 |
If we can't stop the spread of the toxic pollen, no place will be safe. Lollo Logistics won't be able to deliver goods to those who need them!
|
28 |
Isn't this a huge threat to our brand?!
|
29 |
Ugh... I said no, and I meant it!
|
29 |
What if I can make this profitable for you?
|
30 |
Huh? What did you say?
|
30 |
I plan to defeat the Inferno Rider and claim the bounty.
|
31 |
Listen, I've heard about {PlayerName}. If they're involved, then we definitely have a shot at defeating the Inferno Rider!
|
32 |
That's a hundred thousand Credits! How many orders do I need to deliver to make that much money...
|
32 |
But I can't do it alone.
|
33 |
If even someone as strong as {PlayerName} can't handle it... Mimika, you should probably give up.
|
34 |
How could this be...
|
34 |
I want to use the bounty to hire Lollo Logistics.
|
35 |
Wh-what?!
|
36 |
Wait a minute, now it's not just 'not profitable'! Even the headquarters can't say no to this!
|
37 |
A hundred thousand Credits... That's a pretty substantial order.
|
38 |
That's it! We have to take this order now!
|
39 |
Hmm...
|
40 |
Alright! We at Lollo Logistics will take the order. We'll do everything we can to support you!
|
41 |
Terrific!
|
41 |
There's still one crucial problem to solve...
|
42 |
You've brought some fantastic news. Didn't expect Lollo Logistics to get involved.
|
43 |
With their transportation, our researchers should be able to navigate through the Incinero Petals with ease. This is a huge help.
|
43 |
But it's not enough to defeat the Inferno Rider.
|
44 |
Well, if not even a Resonator like you, {PlayerName}, could defeat it...
|
44 |
That barrier is impenetrable.
|
45 |
You raise a good point. We still don’t have a way to break that shield.
|
46 |
If we can't take the Inferno Rider out, we won't stand a chance closing in on the Tacet Mark core.
|
47 |
[A notification rings on Woodrow's touchpad]
|
48 |
Woodrow, I have the results for the issue you asked me to look into.
|
48 |
...Mortefi?
|
49 |
Ah, Mortefi. You finally deign to respond to my calls, eh?
|
50 |
Sorry for the delay. Even for someone like me, digging up old records takes time. Your request is from years ago, after all.
|
51 |
Here's the short version: we still have some spare parts from the Explosive Spears used in the last battle, stored in the Port City of Guixu. They should work if we assemble them.
|
52 |
With such a weapon, you should be able to breach the Inferno Rider's shield and deliver a powerful blow to the Tacet Mark core of the Incinero Petals.
|
53 |
I'm curious—how do you know so much about what happened back then, being so young?
|
54 |
I just came across some records while researching Tacetite weapons. The spears were developed in collaboration between Huaxu Academy and the Court of Savantae back then.
|
55 |
They were obsessed with making weapons with overwhelming firepower, completely disregarding practicality and safety. Typical of those savants.
|
56 |
The CSC were known for their wild ideas, but the "Orange Box" group was the most outrageous of all.
|
57 |
According to the records, the spare spears were split into three parts and stored in three different research centers, for security reasons.
|
58 |
After all these years, I'm unsure if they still work. But if you can find them, I can guide you on how to assemble and recalibrate them.
|
60 |
We'll arrange for someone to clear a secure path. {PlayerName}, please help us retrieve the spare parts with the Lollo Logistics couriers.
|
60 |
Sure. I'll inform Lollo Logistics.
|
61 |
By the way, Mimika, the courier, was looking for you. She's waiting at the Resonance Nexus.
|
33 |
Look! Someone is there!
|
33 |
Hey, are you all right?
|
34 |
Cough... water, water... Please...
|
35 |
Aah, right here. Drink, please.
|
36 |
I... I thought it was the end.
|
5 |
Did you place an order with Lollo Logistics?
|
6 |
Yes, I did. I'm Yuni. I didn't expect Lollo Logistics to really make it here. Thank you so much.
|
7 |
You're welcome. Maybe I should apologize... for not delivering your order on time.
|
7 |
Why are you here?
|
8 |
I don't know. I woke up here, surrounded by toxic pollen with no way out. I was starving and parched, barely hanging on.
|
9 |
The Gravity Storm was messing with my signal... I tried calling everyone in my contacts, but only Lollo Logistics' number went through.
|
10 |
Hehe, of course it did! We've invested in strengthening our signal so that anyone can place orders with us anytime, anywhere.
|
11 |
I was worried about losing the signal, so I used your automatic ordering service to send out the request. I didn't expect you to actually deliver it here.
|
12 |
Absolutely! At Lollo Logistics, we always deliver on our promises, no matter what!
|
12 |
So, shall we escort you out of here?
|
13 |
No need to trouble yourselves. I can move around now. Thanks so much... I'll never forget your help.
|
14 |
Wait, remember to spread the word about Lollo Logistics! We have discounts for new customers, you know!
|
15 |
Haha, I will. Goodbye for now!
|
16 |
Great, the order is finally done. It feels good to wrap this job up.
|
16 |
You honored your slogan. You delivered on your promise.
|
17 |
To be honest, I once thought it was no more than a publicity slogan, too. No one would really take each and every order so seriously, right?
|
18 |
But I changed my mind when I received a package delivered by Lollo Logistics. It was something my late father left.
|
18 |
Your father?
|
19 |
Yes. He was a Midnight Ranger. I was told at a young age that he passed away at his post, and that his body was not even found.
|
20 |
The delivery guy said my father was injured in a battle against the TD Outbreaks. He was trying to protect his friends when he fell into a valley.
|
21 |
A Lollo Logistics employee found him, but they could not save him.
|
22 |
They told me that until his dying breath, he didn't stop thinking about me, saying that his daughter was about to turn ten, and he... he couldn't even see her one last time.
|
23 |
He hoped that Lollo Logistics would deliver the doll he carried with him as a birthday present to his daughter.
|
23 |
So that was the package you received?
|
24 |
Yes, but it was far more complicated. Father passed before he could say the address and identity, and no identifications could be found with him by then.
|
25 |
However, couriers from Lollo Logistics didn't give up. They kept asking and investigating while they delivered other goods.
|
26 |
Finally, after all those difficulties, they found the girl. That girl was me.
|
27 |
But by the time I received this present, I was already over the age of playing dolls. It was my 18th birthday.
|
28 |
Lollo Logistics inspired me. I wanted to join and stick to the motto: We Promise, We Deliver!
|
28 |
You will.
|
28 |
This order is the proof.
|
29 |
Hehe, thank you.
|
30 |
One order done. Next up, we have a bigger order to deliver!
|
31 |
My colleagues and I will go with you to the research centers Mr. Mortefi mentioned. We'll try to find those spear parts and bring them back.
|
32 |
I got the coordinates from him. Let's move.

Please excuse us, miss. Mimika is always so noisy. She must have caused a lot of trouble for you back in the Port City of Guixu.

For real? What's with the sudden compliment? It feels so off to hear that from you.
|
12 |
Your insistence saved that customer in the Sea of Flames and ensured successful delivery of the Spears. Without you, our customer may have been consumed by TDs.
|
13 |
You're right, Mimika. "We Promise, We Deliver"... This should never be a mere slogan. It should be the faith we stick to.
|

Hehe! I know right?!

That being said, I must, however, ask you to reflect on your impulsiveness.
|
15 |
Well said.
|
16 |
O-Okay...
|
17 |
That's the spirit. You will become an excellent courier one day.

I have faith in you, Mimika.

Finally, on behalf of Lollo Logistics, allow me to express our sincerest gratitude to you, dear customer.

Without your help, this crisis would not have been resolved so well.
|
21 |
We would probably have to doubt ourselves in regret and shame. It would be a disgrace to our slogan, "We Promise, We Deliver!"
|
22 |
Therefore, we thank you... for letting us honor our promise and deliver this overdue order.
|
22 |
No need to thank me. It's a victory for all of us.
|
23 |
You are being modest.
|
24 |
The one-hundred-thousand-credit order you placed with us is hereby finished, but since it's your first order, a discount must apply.
|
25 |
The discounted amount will be returned to you as a token of our appreciation, mine especially. Please accept it.
|
26 |
Thank you for using our service. "We Promise, We Deliver!"
|
27 |
We look forward to seeing you again. Goodbye.
