If that were the case, the sharp parts would've been lodged into its body first.\n\nI wonder why the handles of the umbrellas were stuck in it.\n\nIt seemed to be extremely wary of us.

Do not let the Abnormality influence you.\n\n→ But... the fox feels different from the Abnormalities we've fought... I'm sure it wasn't always hostile...\n\n→ Do not refer to it as a fox or a dog. It's nothing more than an Abnormality. You mustn't confuse it for an animal you can find in the City.\n\n→ Get over it, you think that fake fairy with a fat jelly bod was any easier to deal with?

To elaborate, that is the precise time when we identified it as an enemy and prepared for battle.\nIts appearance is akin to a hideous, ancient tree. I estimate its age to be easily over 100 years old. I raise its broad wrinkles and wide pillar as supporting evidence.\nWhat was odd, however, was that its height was far too stocky despite its aforementioned traits.\nIts twisting branches all point to a singular direction, and clues indicate that its roots are broad and deep-reaching…\nAfter a thorough observation of the blue fairy(I’m unsure if this is an appropriate designation for it, but I was unable to find another suitable name), which hangs from the tip of one of the branches and radiates a bright light,\nI concluded that this is a trap contingent on deception.\nSuch deceptive traps were often used in numerous battles I have participated in. Install something to draw the attention of your enemies and ambush them from where they least expect… It’s a rather rudimentary trap.\nI have ordered the Sinners to halt their advance and await the Executive Manager’s orders.\nPlease consult this guide in your future commands.\nThank you.\n→ Wow… I guess you’re not a veteran for nothing, huh? Didn’t know you were this good~\n→ I’ve both encountered and installed many similar traps.

Now we know why its height betrays its apparent age.\nThe majority of its bulk, its main body, is buried underground.\nCountless roots, long enough to make measurement of their individual lengths difficult, burst out of the ground to impale us. Still, we were able to identify that this opponent’s main mode of attack involves luring its victims toward its main body to guarantee a strike.\nSometimes it focused on a single Sinner, but there were also instances in which it targeted multiple of us at once.\nI also identified the blue fairy swaying from side to side, as though to seduce its victims.\nThough it may be difficult to engage this opponent while evading its numerous roots, because we are currently unaware of the magnitude of its main body, I believe that continued collection of intel through repeated encounters is necessary to prepare the appropriate countermeasures. Some losses are to be expected, however.\nConcluding the report.\nThank you.\n→ Seriously, Heathcliff! Why the hell would you walk out there AFTER we specifically told you not to? AGAIN?\n→ Haah, dammit… I don’t know. Something about how that happened was uncanny. It’s not like I wanted to walk there…\n→ It appears that the fairy has the power to charm its victims.

But from what I can see, I don’t really get what kind of beauty they were going for?\nLike, the… the thing? Object? They hung in the middle of the wooden planks. I think it has eyes, or something.\nMaybe they were trying to say something with this work. Like ‘Surveillance and Bondage’, or something?\nAnyway, I don’t really enjoy artworks that are this hideous~\n→ It’s all sunshine and rainbows with you, innit? Gardener? Piece of art? What is wrong with you? It’s a monster that skewers people!\n→ Disagreed. T.I.A. (Someone scribbled ”I think she’s saying ‘This Is Art’!” here.) From grotesqueries rises artistic merit. I’m surprised that you caught on."

"story": "Its attack patterns…\nI think it’s pretty similar to the apple—headed thing... oh, or the tree with aggressive roots that we met earlier in this train trip.\nOh, but I don’t think we’ve ever been slapped by a plank of wood that falls from the sky. I guess that’s what’s so special about this ugly thing.\nAs soon as we encounetered them, they tied us down here, like they were trying to stop us from going any further."

"story": "I had no idea… that getting wrapped up in those rose brambles could hurt that much.\nBack home, I saw some people get roped up and made to kneel for their wrongdoings… I never realized how merciful my family was. We used plain ropes for that.\nAnd those thorns… it was like they were draining my blood. Like it was hungry for nutrients.\nAnd there’s more. You know how we sometimes… die, during these fights? \nBodies weren’t the only things falling—people’s resolve did, too. Oh, it’s not like being stressed or psychologically pressured. It’s completely different. It was like some… emotion in me was getting snapped in half.\nAnd the way they died was also unusual. Its vines crawled up their legs, binding them… Soon blooming with Roses.\nOh, and... the color of those roses changed as well. Everyone told me that it was as though the bottled—up feelings inside them were melting away. And so did I.\nAnd when we killed it… Everyone who fell in the battle exploded along with it.\nLeaving behind nothing but… petals."

That centipede-ish thing, right?\n\nThey call it that, but I'm not sure if it's the right name for something clad in a big chain of steel armor.\n\nAh, well… I guess that's what Abnormalities are like.\n\nAlright… Starting with appearance, it looks like a huge series of blue plates of steel connected together. Kinda like a robot.\n\nThe eyes were red… and glinted sometimes.\n\nSometimes… No, was it actually pretty frequent? I saw sparks bounce around its body like electricity was flowing. If it's visible to the naked eye, that's gotta mean the voltage is pretty high... It won't just sting when it touches you, that's for sure.\n\n→ Centipede… To me, it looked more like a snake. It coiled up at kept glaring.\n\n→ Fair point, but… Did snakes have legs where you lived? You can't call that one a snake.\n\n→ They do, though?\n\n→ There are legged snakes.\n\n→ Oh, I saw 'em, too.\n\n→ ... Am I the odd one out?\n\n→ You're so funny, darling~"

"story": "Haah... Electrocution was not what we should've been worrying about.\n\nI described it as wearing some steel armor, didn't I? I've gotta correct it; rather than armor, it was more like... blades sharpened on all sides covering its body.\n\nImagine it stabbing, pushing... even coiling around us with that kind of body. It did a number on the Sinners.\n\nWe were all bleeding ourselves dry as we fought...\n\nThat doesn't mean it had nothing to do with electricity. It looked like it had to stop whatever it was doing and coil itself up in order to shock us.\n\nNo wonder it was like that when we first faced it...\n\nWell, I guess that means it has one clear weakness.\n\nOnce its head was smashed in, it couldn't coil up any more... That has to mean no more electrocutions, right?\n\n→ Excuse me, Gregor. I trusted you and charged ahead only to be fried to char. What do you have to say about this?\n\n→ I can attest to that. Her discolored hair resembled a spoiled broccoli. I would eat no such thing as an orange broccoli even in battle.\n\n→ ... If you have a problem with my hair, say it directly.\n\n→ W-Whoa, there... Cool it down. Look, I'm sorry about what happened... Who could have thought breaking the head would make electricity flow through its whole body?"

"story": "Did you know...? Apparently, centipedes' nerves stay active and go wild for a good while even after their heart stops beating.\n\nThis one's the same.\n\nSeems to be some kind of final struggle... We got lax, but then the rich buddy got killed.\n\nFaust said, 'Since nerves are activated by electric stimuli, this may be an electric problem.'\n\nWell... She added that 'Although there is no guarantee such logic still stands with Abnormalities.' But I disagree with her there.\n\nWhen we broke its head last time, I noticed something... At least, this guy has got to be following some laws that make sense. We already saw short circuits and electric currents work with it, right?\n\nIf that's the case... If we wait for it to run out of power... It'll go down on its own.\n\nSee if I'm right, will ya?"
