In the blue heavens above, Chloe, wearing a black gothic lolita outfit, awaited. A fateful encounter for Laura.

“So there you are...” muttered Chloe.

“You... Your face!” The same face. The same hair. The same skin. It was as if Laura was looking in a mirror.

“Why, if it isn’t the perfected Lorelei. I am you. Another Laura who couldn’t become you.” Her words flowed like a song, echoing uncannily in Laura’s ears.

“Lorelei?! What are you talking about?!”

“It’s better for you not to know. And you, the man beside her. Orimura Ichika.”

“Me? What about me?!” Ichika gasped, unable to contain his surprise at being singled out by name.

Again, words sprung liltingly from her lips “A complete maverick. Someone who must be... Removed... For my mistress’s sake.”

“What?!”

An incoming transmission snapped Laura and Ichika out of their confusion. “What are you two doing?! You’re looking at a projection!”

“......?!” Chloe disappeared, and darkness fell over the sky. A sea of inky blackness replaced the blue yonder, the pale moon rose in place of the yellow sun. The whirl of clouds around them transformed into a maelstrom.

“This... This is a World Purge!” Laura cowered as the world faded around her, but Ichika was there to drag her back to reality.

“Let’s get out of here, Laura!”

“Have you gone crazy?!”

“Get a hold of yourself! If we stay up here, you’ll be sucked in again!”

“...Understood.” Calmed by Ichika, Laura followed him back down to the arena. Lorelei? What was that supposed to mean? Just who am I? Still shaken by the World Purge, her heart sank as fast as her altitude while she thought quietly. Of her birth. Of her past. Her heart ached as she looked back.

Chloe Chronicle... What are you... She hadn’t understood. Not a single thing. But now, everything was falling into place. That’s right. I’m—

One of the ‘Boosted.’ An enhanced humanoid. Engineered for strength. A marionette made for battle.

“—Ra! Hey! Laura!”

“Wh-What?!”

“Good, you’re awake. Are you okay? You’re pale as a sheet.” Ichika looked at her concernedly, and her knees turned weak.

That’s right. I’m... It didn’t matter who she was. What mattered was who she is now. Now that she had something to fight for.

“Oh, nothing. And anyway! You’re too close! Back off!”

“You don’t have to hit me! I’ll move! I’ll move!” If nothing else, she’d livened up a bit by the time they’d touched down.

There, the battle was over. Charlotte had her rifle leveled at Autumn’s forehead. “You’re not getting away this time.”

“This shit again... Son of a bitch.”

And thus, the action at the arena drew to a close.

◇

“Oww... I can’t believe that brat actually punched me.” In the medical office at the arena, Charlotte’s father Albert was being patched up after his fistfight with Ichika.

“It’s your punishment. For being a man who dared to love two women.” The nurse applying ointment to his face was his wife, Rosenda Dunois. Rosenda, a woman who looked every inch the wife of a baron of industry, smiled teasingly.

“Hmph...”

Ichika was receiving treatment in another room. And Chifuyu was interrogating Autumn.
