The Park of the Bluebird
Wh-what is all this...?
Yup, it's money! Museum tickets!
Omega almost spent it all on bread... That was close...
How is it? Is it enough? Can Omega get in?
Is Omega allowed inside?
Oh, yes, you can come in, but where's your guardian...?
Yay! Then Omega's coming in!
W-wait a moment, please?!
Hah...
So this is the museum...!
How is it, Cube? Does it smell familiar?
There must be lots of new friends here!
Everyone, thank you for waiting!
Long, long ago, even further back than the so-called Age of Darkness, there was civilization in this world.
Who were these people? With what thoughts did they walk this earth?
We may never truly know.
But each gift they left behind serves as a tiny lantern, shining through the veil of time.
And with the cooperation of the Monolith Order, we've gathered those lanterns for a brief moment here at the Welsh Museum of All Things.
Step beyond time and into the world of ancient civilization!
I-i-i-if anyone needs assistance, please come this way...!
Hey, a familiar face. Hello!
Huh... Star Piercer's spirit?!
Mmm? Nope, Omega is Omega.
Of c-course, Omega... I mean, Miss Omega...
B-but...! How could a lowly 117th Saintess dare speak the spirit's name so casually...!
Ugh, you're stubborn...!
Hey, miss! What's your name?
Yes...?
Oh, w-where are my manners! I-I'm Elisa, the 117th Saintess of the Monolith Order!
Got it! Then Elisa! I'll call you Elisa!
So you can call Omega just Omega, okay?
Y-yes...! Spir—n-no, Miss... Omega...
Yup! Elisa!
He... Hehe...
What an honor, to be addressed by name by the Star Piercer's spirit, apostle of Lord Gaph...
If only Saintess Muriel were here... she'd be so happy...
Elisa? You okay?
Ah, Saintess Muriel... I hope she's at peace, wherever she is...
Looks like she's rebooting...
Anyway, Omega's gonna go look at that thing!
Ah...! W-wait, just a moment!
Would you like a guided tour?!
A tour?
Yes, th-though it's, um, technically a punishment...
I-I've been assigned to act as a guide for visitors!
And if I must give one... then surely the first should be reserved for the Star Piercer's spirit...
Omega would love that! Thanks!
...Yes! Right this way!
There's a little box here!
Oh, th-that's Relic Aganon XVIII.33.
See the two rectangular slots carved into it?
According to research, the interior of these slots was likely designed to heat up.
Which means, when you think about it logically, this relic was used to...
Oh! Omega knows! You put bread in it and...
...used to sear the hands of heretics and unbelievers!
Eh. Really?!
Yes, m-most likely...!
...So cool! Amazing!!
But... It doesn't really seem like a friend who can talk.
...Mm.
Omega wants to see the others!
Oh-ho, even this relic is on display. The Monolith Order is being quite generous.
I heard the curator of the museum is quite the operator...
Ah, this one's a bigger box. And there are lots of people looking at it.
Oh, that's Relic Paren VIII.12.
One side is made of glass, and there's a disc inside.
Long ago, when this relic was still functional, that disc inside would spin round and round.
...Oh! Omega gets it!
Maybe you put food in it, it goes "vrrm", and it gets warm?
And then it gets even tastier!
Haha, what an adorable thought. But that couldn't possibly be the case.
Ancient civilizations may seem mysterious, but they were built by people just like us.
Such sorcery that defies the laws of nature would have been beyond them.
Indeed. There must be a far more rational and practical use.
Namely... a figurine display stand.
Eh. A figurine display stand.
They likely placed figurines on the rotating disc and observed them through the glass.
It's the most logical explanation we have at present...
Is that so...?
Then maybe this one can't talk? Maybe it can't think either...?
Hmm, anything else...?
E-excuse me, spirit?
That's actually all the relics that are on display...
Huh, already?
Hmm...
Hey, isn't there anything else?
Anything else... like, w-what sort of thing?
Something Daddy made!
Pardon? D-daddy...?
You know... something that talks, like Omega or Cube Palace...?
S-something that can talk... is what you're looking for...?!
You and Cube Palace are tr-truly special cases!
Is Omega actually super rare?!
Yes! You're the only reason Saintess Muriel and I weren't demoted!
Smuggling out a sacred relic, down 35 ranks. Losing Cube Palace, down 55 ranks. Conflicts with the Journey Captain, down 15 ranks. Damaging church property: down 5 ranks...
And for awakening the Star Piercer's spirit, up 110 ranks!
Which means you're so precious you single-handedly covered for all of Saintess Muriel's wicked schemes!
Wow! So Omega was worth 110 ranks!
Omega's precious! Amazing!
...
So... does that mean there aren't more like Omega anywhere?
Well, the high priests might know more, but...
I see...
So it's just Omega and Cube Palace, then...
...
Omega's gonna go. Goodbye...
H-huh?
Cube, Cube!
Awaiting response.
Did you hear? Types like Omega and Cube aren't very common.
Maybe it's just the two of us in the whole world.
...
It's a little lonely. Isn't it?
But it's okay. At least you're here with me.
Oh, Cube! Let's go to the Monolith Order too!
Elisa said the old men there might know more!
Objection.
Huh?
Omega Control's original mission objective was the exhibition.
Expanding the operational radius further crosses the line from impulsive behavior into malfunction.
Proposal. Effective immediately, cease scouting and return.
Eh... malfunction?!
It's not a malfunction, Cube! We went out to play together!
Correction. That is the exact definition of a malfunction.
Question. What tactical benefit can be gained from such action?
Benefit... benefit is...
That I made lots of friends?
Omega met Trish... and Elisa!
Question. Is finding [friends] Omega Control's designated role?
Huh?
Omega Control and this unit share the same mission.
To safeguard the current civilization against the world's destruction.
Yet Omega Control wastes energy on meaningless wandering and friend-making, rather than on training or function recovery.
Self-diagnostic prompt: Does this action contribute to Omega Control's designed objective?
That's...
If it does not contribute, there is only one conclusion.
Such behavior is a malfunction. A side effect of high-level processing.
Ugh...
It-it is too! It does help!
Friends... friends make things fun, and, and...
And?
...Ugh, w-wait!
Omega's gonna ask her friends and come back!
Don't move! Omega will be right back!
...
......
The opportunity has come sooner than expected.
Warning. Do not approach.
And if I do? What'll you do about it?
