Mash
Professor Leff is looking for you.
Page 6:
There were no problems with this morning’s examination.
The mission must be pretty harsh though.
If you feel any abnormalities with your body, let me know immediately.
Yes Ma’am.
It was your 16
th birthday today, wasn’t it.
…Please don’t push yourself too hard, ok?
Page 7:
Yes.
Fou…?
Fou!
Fou…?
Where are you going?
Page 8:
Is he one of the Master candidates?
This person is…
SFX: *Snore*
I’ll have to wake him up soon…
Ah, not that rough…
(Small text = His claws are out too.)
Senpai?
mmm…
Page 9:
Senpai
Please wake up, Senpai.
s-sir!
Attendance n… No, Master candidate No. 48!!
Fujimaru Ritsuka---
Huh
Where am I?
You’re at a rest area to the side of the corridor that leads to the central control room.
Ritsuka Senpai.
Control room…!
That’s right.
I was headed to the briefing---
Page 10:
And got lost.
The structure of this area isn’t that complex though…
After that, I felt really sleepy.
Sleepiness…
No. 48.
You’re talking about the candidates that were gathered for the current mission.
So you are one of the ordinary group.
The sleepiness is most likely the effects of the Spiritron Dive.
It places a large burden on the brain if you’re not used to it.
You entered the simulator when you arrived here, right?
Now that you mention it, I’ve been feeling pretty out of it since then…
Without waking up your outer consciousness,
It’s something like a kind of sleep walking.
Page 11:
Fou!
This here is Fou.
Kyu
He normally doesn’t really go near anyone except for me.
He seems to like you, Senpai.
(Small text = There he goes.)
Ritsuka's thoughts = So that was actually his name...
By the way, who are---
Mash.
I’ve told you moving around without telling us is…
Oh?
Page 12:
It seems we have a visitor. I don’t think I’ve seen you before.
Are you the rookie who was assigned here today?
Leff Lynor. I’m one of the engineers here.
I’m Fujimaru Ritsuka.
It’s been nice to meet you as well.
Ah-
Um, I’m, you see…
A handshake is…
A pleasure to meet you as well.
Umm…
I’m Mash Kyrielight.
Page 13:
Did I do that right?
I don’t really have much practice with this.
You two seem rather close.
(small text = That’s unusual.)
She refused to shake my hand…??
The 38 from Magecraft families have already gathered, meaning…
You’re one of the ordinary group.
Your training must have been tough, right?
Training…?
Have you not had any training?
Ah…
That reminds me, there was also a group we gathered quickly to make up the numbers.
No, don’t feel down. Please.
We need all of you for this mission.
Page 14:
With both the Magecraft families and talented ordinary people we somehow managed to gather 48 master candidates.
In this year, 2015, that is everyone who has the aptitude for the Spiritron Dive.
This is a wonderful thing.
Senpai, it’s almost time for the briefing.
That’s right!!
Oops, sorry to keep you so long.
The Director’s glare’s can be quite dreadful.
Which way’s the control room!?
Professor Leff.
Could you give me permission to attend the briefing as well?
I’m worried about Senpai’s condition.
If you just stand in the corner, I’ll let it pass, but…
Are you a staff member here, Mash?
Page 15:
Yes, I was part of the advance unit.
I belong to A-Team, who are in charge of the first mission. (small text = Part of the research team though.)
I have other work I must attend to, so this will be goodbye.
Mash,
You’ll get a scolding from the Director if you go by yourself, so be sure to take Ritsuka with you.
Yes sir.
Welcome to the special organisation, Chaldea.
Page 16:
I’m the Director, Olga Marie Animusphere.
You people who were chosen, or discovered, hold a rare ability.
That ability is the aptitude to Spiritron Dive.
You, who have Magic Circuits are qualified to become Masters.
You will be reborn as a new type of Magi,
through an unprecedented combination of Magecraft and science.
(small text = I’m feeling sleepy...)
Saying that, it is nothing but a special ability.
It does not mean that you yourself are a special person.
Page 17:
Everyone here is standing at the same starting point.
Understand that you are inexperienced amateurs.
Especially those Magi who were dispatched from the organization.
I doubt I need to remind you not to treat this as if it were a school, but keep that in mind.
Why is Mash here?
You said you’d be monitoring her, right?
Leff!!
In this place my orders are absolute.
I won’t approve of opinions, nor objections.
Be aware that you are nothing more than tools
that will be used to protect humanity.
So…
Page 18:
Hmph
You’ve got some nerve, nodding off right in front of me.
This mission’s importance---
This situation humanity is in. Do you understand that!?
Director
He’s one of the ordinary group. Right now he’s under the effects of the simulator.
The ordinary group…?
And an amateur who gets worn out from the simulator!?
Page 19:
Don’t make fun of my Chaldea!
You don’t have the qualifications to be here!
Or to wear this!
Eh
Wait
Get out now!!
It seems we were thrown out.
Wh, what should I do now…
With this, it will be difficult to participate in the first mission.
Anyway, Senpai. I’ll show you to your room.
Page 20:
Anyhow, ordinary people are just amateurs.
That being the case, why is there an ordinary group anyway?
During the experiment stage, to
rayshift
spiritron transfer
, we needed a large number of people with the aptitude to become a master.
However, there were only a handful of Magi with that aptitude…
Magi primarily put the most importance on their lineage and bloodlines.
Adherence to that is a situation we cannot allow.
That was quite detailed. Have you been here for a while?
Yes, for a reasonable time.
Then you would be my Senpai, right?
She’s been calling me that for a while…
Page 21:
No
Um…
Anyway, it doesn’t matter.
6000m above sea level, right?
It’s pure white out there.
Is it always a blizzard here?
It is. From here you can’t see the blue sky.
Once things calm down here, did you want to go on a trip or something?
If you spent all year here, you’d get depressed, right?
This person knows-
Page 22:
About the world beyond this point. The world I have never once experienced.
Although I guess you can’t just say ‘I’m going home’.
The fact that I’m a valuable person here won’t change.
I’m not someone the Director can easily throw out like you.
‘To protect humanities future.’ That’s what I was invited here for.
However, I wasn’t told any of the specifics.
So even if you say that…
(Director: Do you understand what situation we’re in!?)
The briefing was meant for those people.
Then why did you come to Chaldea?
Page 23:
I thought ‘If It’s something I can do’
Besides, they asked me with such enthusiasm,
That I couldn’t just say ‘No, I can’t do it’
Senpai.
Among all the people I’ve met so far,
You’re the most human.
Foooouu!!
What’s wrong Fou?
Grr foouu!
(small text = Hmm, hmm)
For some reason, Fou seems to view you as a rival, Senpai.
You understand it!?
Page 24:
The first mission will start soon.
I need to return to the control room.
Thanks for showing me around.
Take care.
Well then, see you later.
Sorry for intruding.
(small text = wait, this is my room, isn’t it.)
Okay.
You may enter.
Page 25:
huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?
Who on earth are you!?
This is a vacant room. It’s my hiding place.
Who are you, announcing yourself and then coming in.
(small text = And not wearing much, either!)
Umm…
I was led here and told it was my room, but…
Your room…
(small text = *sigh*)
Oh, that’s it.
The last kid has finally gotten here.
Page 26:
I’m Romani Archaman.
Head of the medical department.
For some reason, everyone shortens it to Dr. Roman.
No idea why, it might be easier to say.
Please, go ahead and call me Roman as well.
Roman has a nice ring to it, actually.
Pretty easy going, isn't he.
(small text = Head…?)
It’s cool, for one,
And it has this vague, sweet kind of feeling.
Oh?
Could this be the rumored mysterious creature?
Whoa, this is the first time I’ve seen it.
(small text = Hm)
Shake!
If you can do it I’ll give you a sweet.
Page 27:
…Fou
E-eh
What is it? Those eyes make it look like you’re looking at something really pathetic…
Anyway, it’s almost time for the rayshift experiment, right?
Is it okay for you to waste time in a place like this?
…And what about you Doctor?
Everyone seemed really busy.
Ho ho…
Does that mean the Director got angry at you as well!
Chased you out and even stripped your uniform!
It’s fine, I’m the same.
There was nothing I could do, so I came here to sulk.
(Director: If Romani’s here, the atmosphere will become too relaxed!!)
I see.
(NATTOKU = UNDERSTANDS)
This must be fate as well.
The two of us have nothing to do.
We can have a nice relaxing chat, and deepen our friendship!
That said…
Page 28:
How does it feel?
It’s perfect.
That’s a Magecraft mystic code.
When a Magus uses Magecraft, that equipment will assist them.
That uniform you were wearing before was one as well.
This one allows you to use your magical energy easier,
So it’s perfect for an amateur like you.
By the way, Doctor,
I don’t really understand any of this stuff about Magecraft or rayshift…
Or more importantly, what exactly is the mission?
Hmm
First off, I’d better give you a proper explanation about Chaldea.
Page 29:
The Organization for the Preservation of Human Order, Finis Chaldea.
To ensure humanity can continue on, and grow stronger.
Researchers were gathered, from both Magecraft and science, to form this research institute, this observatory.
To stabilize humanities unstable past.
Changing the determined future, to prevent humanities final
Us primates, our human way of life.
In other words, to preserve the continuation “Human Order”.
That is our, Chaldea’s objective.
Chaldea uses various different technologies,
Both Magecraft and science, to observe humanity for the next 100 years.
Not prediction, but observation. Gazing into the future as one would gaze at the stars.
Continuing to ensure that “Humanity can exist for at least the next 100 years”
What makes this possible is…
Page 30:
The pride of the Animusphere family, the Global Environment Model “Chaldeas”, as well as
The Near-Future Observation Lens “Sheba”, developed by Leff Lynor.
If we consider this planet to have a soul, Chaldeas would be a copy of that soul.
A pseudo-planet… in other words, a small scale earth.
This is the form of the future earth itself.
What’s lit up on there is the lights of human civilization, observed through
It is proof that civilization will continue.
However
Since half a year ago, Chaldeas’ color has changed.
The light of civilization went out, and observing the future became difficult.
In other words…
Page 31:
It was observed that humanity would be extinct by the end of 2016.
It was set in stone.
However, it doesn’t make sense for humanity to suddenly come to an end on that day.
It’s physically impossible.
For the last half a year, we’ve been investigating this strange phenomenon---
The cause of the future’s disappearance.
If there is no reason in this time, the cause must be in the past.
Using
Phenomenon Recording Cyber-Daemon
Laplace
and
Spiritron Calculation Engine
Trismegistus
,
We gathered information from the past 2000 years, and the following was discovered:
What we observed was here---
Page 32:
Space Singularity F
In the year 2004, at a rural city in Japan,
Up until this year, 2015, its history did not exist.
We found an unobservable region.
Under the assumption that this is the cause of humanities annihilation,
Our
rayshift
spiritron transfer
experiment was authorised by the United Nations.
Rayshift is the process of changing a human into spiritrons, and sending them to the past to intervene.
Putting it in simple terms, travelling back in time.
That’s right. Your duty is to investigate this singularity F.
To transfer to Japan, 12 years in the past,
And investigate the cause of the future's disappearance.
To destroy that cause is the goal of this mission.
Page 33:
Or something like that anyway.
SFX: Beep Beep
Romani
What is it, Leff?
We’ll be starting the rayshift soon.
In the off chance something might happen, could you come over here?
You should be able to get here in 2 minutes from the medical office.
This isn’t the medical office, is it.
From here it’ll take 5 minutes…
It’s fine. They’ll forgive me if I’m a little bit late.
I’m basically the head of the medical section you know?
Important people should always arrive after everyone else, right!
How lax…
Page 34:
Sugar is vital for any worker who uses their brain.
Even a normal doctor has tons of things they need to think about!
By the way, I’m in the sweet been paste faction.
No, actually I’m part of the pancake faction, but when I went on a trip to Japan I got into them.
(small text = Ha ha ha)
You should get going soon, right?
EMERGENCY EMERGENCY
A FIRE HAS BROKEN OUT IN THE CENTRAL POWER PLANT AND THE CENTRAL CONTROL ROOM
E- Explosion…!?

I REPEAT---
Page 35:
The control room---
The bulkheads will be closing soon.
Escape outside, quickly!
Doctor!?
I’m going to the control room.
I, I have to get away…
Otherwise I’ll be locked in here…
If I go with the Doctor,
As an ordinary person, what can I even do…
---But…
Page 36:
I can’t just
Leave things like this.
Hey, what are you doing!?
The second gate is in the other direction!?
Of course, I want to run away!
However, I’m one of the candidates called here!
The fact that there’s nothing I can do...
I don’t want to believe that!
Page 37:
Ah. Whatever.
I don’t dislike that!
You have to go back before the bulkheads close though!
Got it!
Page 38:
It’s cold.
Even though the flames are burning so brightly.
My body is steadily growing colder.
So that’s it.
This is
‘Death’
I’m falling into nothingness.
The darkness is blotting out my consciousness.
---tells me.
There is nothing that you can do.
That’s right.
I knew that someday,
Who---
This time would come.
Page 39:
Mash!!
Se…
…pai…?
Mash!!
Please, run away…
Quickl…
I’m…
Already…
With these wounds…

Could you
Please… hold my hand?
Like this?
His big hands are wrapped around mine.
Despite him smiling gently like nothing was wrong,
His hands are shaking a little.
It’s too late for us to be saved now.
With this
which has been thrust in front of us,
It’s natural to be scared.
Page 43:
Don’t worry.
I’m here with you.
However, that hand,
Those words, that smile.
They are more kind, more gentle, and hold more warmth than anything I’ve experienced until now.
…Yes
Yes,
I’ve seen something truly beautiful.
