Nui Sociere Reaches the Floating City in Trails in the Sky the 2nd After the Prince Reveal

NIJISANJI — Nui Sociere played the 15th part of a playthrough of Trails in the Sky the 2nd (Eiyu Densetsu Sora no Kiseki the 2nd) on Saturday, a session of about four hours and 48 minutes in which a long-running secret about the character Olivier came out and the party reached a floating ancient city.

The stream opened with the heroes answering a call from the queen while a blackout of the kingdom’s orbal devices continued. A red airship from the criminal group Ouroboros appeared, its executors attacked a city and set fires, and four of them went after the royal castle. Philip, the butler of Kloe’s uncle, held them off long enough to be knocked down, and Nui praised him as a surprisingly strong fighter. A former colonel and his special forces then stepped in to help the army, and Kloe announced that she had completed the rite to become the kingdom’s heir.

“I love characters who stick to their own sense of beauty.” — Nui Sociere, on Olivier’s stand against the empire’s chancellor

The turning point came at a border gate, where an imperial army with steam-powered tanks had gathered and Kloe went to negotiate. Olivier, the wandering musician who had traveled with the party, introduced himself as a prince of the Erebonian Empire and pressed the kingdom to prove it was not behind the giant structure in the sky. Estelle protested, then declared on behalf of the Bracer Guild that it was not a kingdom weapon, and the airship Arseille arrived in answer. It turned out that Olivier and Cassius Bright had planned the scene together. Olivier went on to say he meant to take on the empire’s chancellor, Giliath Osborne. Chat was busiest in these stretches, and four Super Chats came in as the reveal landed.

After the Arseille set out for the floating city, an enemy craft flown by Loewe shot it down, and everyone aboard survived. The party landed on the edge of the city, Liberl Arc, where Nui reassembled the team, rode the transparent Rail Hairo line, and fought through an underground passage. Nui joked that the ancient builders must have been lost in it. Along the way Nui found that the Gospel, the object the kingdom’s crisis had centered on, was a resident’s terminal, and read a message left by Celeste D. Auslese, the founder of the effort to seal the city. Josette, whose airship had also crashed, joined the party, and Nui rearranged the lineup for the next stage.

Nui ended the stream at the entrance to the underground passage and said the exploration would likely continue the next day.
