I am quite curious about this. How does he produce such a convincing illusion in multiple brains, all at once?
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
How has he gathered these experiences and memories together, and how does he project them into the minds of his visitors? I certainly hope there is a better answer than magic.
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
Hey there! You all by yourself?
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
!
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
Aah, I see. So this place
that is to say, it seems that individual memories may resurface and manifest by themselves.
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
? Im over here, kiddo. Or were you talking to the floor?
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
Oh, no
Please, pay it no mind. More importantly, why did you come here?
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
I saw a faint light while I was wandering around the halls. And it led me here!
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
I do not have
any name to give you.
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
Aww, whats with the scary face? Did I say something wrong?
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
Yes
Yes, you did.
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
You are a migrant. Why do you need to know my name, when you will soon be wandering off again?
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
Dont mind me, then. Go make some.
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
Awww, come on
I mean
But
Ive got something to talk to you about.
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
Im sorry, did I look like I would make good conversation? What a terrible pity.
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
What did you say? Dont talk as if you know me, old man. You no longer know anything, do you?
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
Aah
I knew it! I wasnt sure, but I thought I remembered this scent--
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
Hey, listen. You were my friend. Right?
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
You must be joking! No, no, nothing of the sort.
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
Funny, isnt it? I made all sorts of excuses, but I suppose I waited here hoping someone would get confused and end up here.
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
Hohoho
Let us consider each other to be complete strangers. How does that sound?
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
In any case, were friends now! Yes, that sounds very nice.
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
This is unfair, and I object.
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
Now, I know this is awfully sudden, but--
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
Leaving already? And what were you just complaining about me for?
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
Sorry, sorry. Thats not what I meant.
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
Dont you want to get out of here? Id like to go back to my travels, but The King here will throw a tantrum if anyone tries to leave.
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
Hahahahaha! I dont even have enough breath left to sigh. Youre asking me to help you leave?
![](3-Migrant_Portrait.png)
Wont you?
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
Yes
I suppose I am tired of wasting time obsessing over the past.
The music stops.
Meanwhile
![](13-HS0797.jpg)
I thought with all that excitement earlier wed taken the advantage, but now it doesnt look that way at all!
![](14-Nageki_Portrait.png)
It would be nice if we could open up even just enough of a gap for me to make it through to the tower on my own
![](15-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
I dont think that will be easy. He has way too many heads!
If only the fluffetic was here! He can out-cheat anyone, no matter how many heads they have!
And I bet hed love to get his lancet into a creature as creepy as this!
![](15-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
Aargh, hes completely taken the upper hand--head, that is!
![](15-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
Help! Help us, Dr. Iwamineeeeeeeeeeee!
The music stops.
A familiar deep voice rang through the hall, followed by a small explosion.
![](19-The_King_Legion_Portrait.png)
Aah, aaaaaaaah!
The doctor, appearing out of nowhere, throws something chemical-looking at The King. It smells extremely unhealthy.
![](15-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
I knew youd come through, Doctor! And with heroic timing, too!
![](20-Yuuya_Portrait.png)
Looks like you stole my thunder again.
![](21-Sakuya_Portrait.png)
Dont act as if you could compare to Dr. Iwamine, mongrel. Doctor! Weve awaited your arrival.
![](22-Ryouta_Portrait.png)
I
I think Im going to sneeze
What was that, sir?
![](15-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
So
anesthetics?
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
It confuses the targets gait and paralyzes the central nervous system for a few minutes.
Heretical indeed.
![](14-Nageki_Portrait.png)
Im going on ahead.
![](19-The_King_Legion_Portrait.png)
Waa, waaaaaaa, waaaaaahh
!
Despite the doctors chemical attack, it seemed The King was still capable of flailing about.
![](15-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
You werent heretical enough, Doctor!
![](2-Shuu_Portrait.png)
It was developed with earthly creatures in mind. It seems it is not so effective here.
![](24-San_Portrait.png)
Coooooo! (Okosan will use WING ATTACK! Leave this to us!)
![](22-Ryouta_Portrait.png)
Sans right. Well keep him occupied, so Goon and Nageki can head past the throne!
![](14-Nageki_Portrait.png)
Right. Thank you, everyone.
![](15-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
All right, lets go! Come on, Nageki!
I took Nagekis wing in my hand and we ran across the hall to the back exit.
We have to bring down the tower, no matter what!
