MIKA: "Wah... There's rust everywhere. My clothes will be ruined after this..."
ENTRANCE
YUKARI: "It's kind of damp in here..."
MIKA: "And pretty spacious, from what I can tell..."
MIKA: "Yukari, can you turn on your flashlight?"
YUKARI: "Ah... Yes, one second..."
MIKA: "This is some kind of... path, hm?"
YUKARI: "Y-yeah..."
MIKA: "Yep, this seems promising! Let's go!"
MIKA: "A door...? Wanna go inside?"
YUKARI: "You want to, don't you?"
MIKA: "Most certainly!"
YUKARI: "What the hell...?"
MIKA: "That's a... radio, right?"
MIKA: "But it's, like, super antique."
YUKARI: "A radio? Isn't that a little strange?"
MIKA: "Ah, I think there's a switch."
MIKA: "Maybe I should try and turn it on..."
A: "Let's not. Let's just go." B: "Be my guest."
A: "Let's not. Let's just go." B: "Be my guest." [X]
YUKARI: "Go ahead. I don't think it's working, though..."
MIKA: "What's this?"
YUKARI: "I can hear something..."
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "I have no idea how to look for a proper station with this thing..."
YUKARI: "Well, are you satisfied now? If it actually works, then that means there's gotta be someone this belongs to."
YUKARI: "Let's bail, before whoever that is returns."
MIKA: "Yukari... Did you hear that...?"
YUKARI: "Hear what?"
MIKA: "I'm not... entirely sure, but..."
YUKARI: "Did it come from further in...?"
MIKA: "Yukari...? Yukari! Yukari, what happened?!"
MIKA: "Ah–"
YUKARI: "Ouch..."
YUKARI: "...Mika...? Are you okay?"
YUKARI: "Mika...?"
YUKARI: "Hey..."
YUKARI: "Mika?"
YUKARI: (I wonder where she went...)
YUKARI: "Mika...? Mika?"
YUKARI: "Are you there?"
YUKARI: "I don't... have my flashlight..."
YUKARI: "Mika... Where the hell did you go...?"
YUKARI: (There's some light... Is that the exit?)
PASSAGE TO THE WATER WELL YUKARI: (Seems like the path leads even further in here...)
YUKARI: (What's with this room...)
YUKARI: (Looks like it hasn't been used for quite a while.)
YUKARI: "What's with these posters... «We won't want for anything, until we win!» «Move forward, one million fireballs!»...?"
YUKARI: "Those are slogans from during the war!"
YUKARI: "Hm...?"
YUKARI: (What...?)
YUKARI: (Are those... people...?)
YUKARI: (What the hell... was that...?)
PATH TO THE POWER GENERATORS
YUKARI: (Those figures just now... I think they went in here...)
YUKARI: (What's this...?)
YUKARI: "...?"
YUKARI: (I stepped on some glass, huh... This place hasn't been used since a long time, it seems.)
YUKARI: (Voices...?)
YUKARI: (That wall... Are those...)
YUKARI: (Human silhouettes...?)
YUKARI: (What's this sudden smell...? Disinfectant...?)
YUKARI: (Huh...?!)
???: "This is a good subject for our experiments."
???: "Let's inject the local anaesthetic."
???: "Will you perform an intravenous injection of the virus?"
???: "An experiment testing the tolerance of pain should be a good start."
[It's hard to understand for sure what they're saying, but they seem to get their tools ready.]
???: "Hold on... This subject is Japanese!"
???: "Japanese?!"
???: "Let us try inject antimony."
A: "Is someone there?!" B: "I have to get out of here!"
A: "Is someone there?!" [X] B: "I have to get out of here!"
YUKARI: "Who's there? Is someone there?!"
YUKARI: (I-It's not opening...!)
A: "That can't be!" B: "Somebody help me!"
A: "That can't be!" [X] B: "Somebody help me!"
YUKARI: (Still not opening...!)
A: "Somebody help me!" [X] B: "That's impossible! It must open!"
YUKARI: "Help! Somebody help!!"
OLD MAN: "Who are you?"
YUKARI: "Ah...!"
OLD MAN: "What are you doing in a place like this!"
YUKARI: "I... I..."
OLD MAN: "What's wrong?!"
YUKARI: "My... voice..."
OLD MAN: "Your voice? What are you talking about?"
OLD MAN: "What on earth are you doing here?"
YUKARI: "......"
A: "I got lost..." B: "Excuse me..."
A: "I got lost..." [X] B: "Excuse me..."
YUKARI: "I g-got lost down here..."
YUKARI: "I came down here with a friend, but we got separated right after we entered the underground tunnel..."
OLD MAN: "A friend?"
OLD MAN: "Is your friend a girl wearing the same clothes as you?"
OLD MAN: "If so, she's in my care. I brought her into a special room."
YUKARI: "Really?"
OLD MAN: "Yes, indeed."
OLD MAN: "Did you also get driven down here while fleeing from their bombing raids?"
YUKARI: "Huh... Wh-what?"
OLD MAN: "No need to worry. Once you've made it here, you're safe."
OLD MAN: "Even they cannot get into this underground shelter."
YUKARI: "Who is 'they'...?"
OLD MAN: "Well, there is no reason for us to be conversing in a place such as this."
OLD MAN: "Follow me."
MILITARY PERSONNEL QUARTER OLD MAN: "Been hiding for a very long time myself down here in these trenches."
PATH TO THE POWER GENERATOR OLD MAN: "How long has it been by now... I wonder..."
OLD MAN: "Came here during the first major air raid, so..."
YUKARI: "What air raid...?"
OLD MAN: "It's been a long time now since communications with headquarters broke off."
OLD MAN: "Day after day, vibrations from the bombings can be heard reverberating in these halls deep underground, so I was concerned that the enemy might have broken through the absolute national defense zone."
YUKARI: "What enemy? And what defense zone?!"
OLD MAN: "America and Britain are the enemy, of course."
OLD MAN: "You should at least have heard of it on the radio."
YUKARI: "I don't listen to the radio a lot, so..."
OLD MAN: "Oh no... Has the radio been compromised, as well?!"
OLD MAN: "Did the radio stations get hit by bombs?!"
OLD MAN: "So that's how bad things are now, huh..."
YUKARI: "......"
OLD MAN: "Usually, civilians are prohibited to enter here. But..."
The sign above the door reads: 大東亜金剛鉄兵開発営舎 (It has to be read from right to left.) Translation: «Development Barracks For The Great East Asian Indestructible Iron Soldier»
OLD MAN: "Well, turning you away after you fled all the way down here is also out of the question."
OLD MAN: "Besides, I also allowed this companion of yours to enter here..."
YUKARI: "......"
CENTRAL PASSAGE OLD MAN: "Our nation is in a grave situation these days, so even women and children have to serve their country in any way possible."
OLD MAN: "I say, above all you should be overjoyed to have found your way down here."
YUKARI: "Wh-what...?"
ENTRANCE TO THE ROOM FOR HONOURED GUESTS OLD MAN: "It is alright. These agonizing times shan't continue much longer."
OLD MAN: "We're almost there."
OLD MAN: "If we hold out just a little longer, the Combined Fleet will return to us."
OLD MAN: "And our Imperial Navy has the unsinkable battleship Yamato!" [From Wikipedia: «Yamato was the lead ship of her class of battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) shortly before World War II. [...] Yamato's symbolic might was such that some Japanese citizens held the belief that their country could never fall as long as the ship was able to fight.»]
OLD MAN: "I saw it anchored at Kure Harbour just once."
OLD MAN: "It is of monumental size... There is no way our glorious empire would fall as long as that invincible battleship exists!"
YUKARI: "......"
OLD MAN: "I'm telling you, our hardships will soon be over."
OLD MAN: "Victory is at hand..."
OLD MAN: "Very well, we've reached the room. Please enter."
YUKARI: "What... is this...?"
OLD MAN: "Ha ha ha, surprised, are you?"
OLD MAN: "Under normal circumstances, common folks such as you would not be allowed to enter here."
MIKA: "Yukari!"
YUKARI: "Mika!"
MIKA: "I was looking for you!"
MIKA: "Jeez, you really had me worried, you know?!"
YUKARI: "You're one to talk... That's supposed to be my line!"
YUKARI: "... Anyway, seems you're alright."
YUKARI: "Or are you hurt anywhere?"
MIKA: "No..."
MIKA: "I met this old man and he brought me here."
OLD MAN: "I'll have you know that within these underground trenches this is the best equipped room."
OLD MAN: "As unusual as your attire may be, I cannot just expel women and children such as you from this place."
OLD MAN: "Now, for the present, please try and find some rest in this chamber."
YUKARI: "U-uhm..."
OLD MAN: "Yes? What is it? Feel free to ask me anything."
OLD MAN: "Or would you perhaps tell me about what is happening on the surface, if you're calm enough?"
YUKARI: "You mean... Above these underground tunnels?"
OLD MAN: "Indeed..."
OLD MAN: "I feel it has been far too long, since I last saw sunlight."
OLD MAN: "The other day, I received a letter, you know."
OLD MAN: "My sister, who has returned to our hometown, has cultivated a field and is awaiting the harvest."
OLD MAN: "This summer, the cucumbers should bear fruit, she wrote."
A: "What on earth are you... doing here?" B: "Where exactly are we here?"
A: "What on earth are you... doing here?" [X] B: "Where exactly are we here?"
MIKA: "Say... What exactly are you doing down here?"
OLD MAN: "Me?"
OLD MAN: "I'm in the middle of a long-time military operation."
MIKA: "What kind of mission?"
OLD MAN: "That is classified."
OLD MAN: "I cannot simply reveal this to ordinary folks such as you."
YUKARI: "So you're a... soldier?"
OLD MAN: "It is, as you can see."
OLD MAN: "I act as lieutenant and person in charge here. Ever since the honoured captain has fallen in battle, I have assumed the role of substitutional lieutenant."
MIKA: "You're a... substitutional lieutenant?"
OLD MAN: "Very much so."
A: "Who is 'they'?" [X]
YUKARI: "Where exactly are we here?"
YUKARI: "Why is there such a place this far below the surface?"
OLD MAN: "Why, you ask? Is that not obvious?"
OLD MAN: "If you want to be protected from air-raids, what better place could there be?"
YUKARI: "So this is an air-raid shelter?"
OLD MAN: "It won't be much longer, until they enter our mainland."
OLD MAN: "Thus, bomb shelters have been established all over the imperial capital."
YUKARI: "B-but still... THIS luxurious place is a bomb shelter?"
OLD MAN: "Well... Yes, it is."
OLD MAN: "However, I must ask you to refrain from prying into the matter of this particular facility any further. It is all classified, after all."
OLD MAN: "They may not learn of this place under any circumstances."
OLD MAN: "It is not like I do not trust you, but I also cannot have you wander around freely here."
YUKARI: "You keep saying 'they'... You don't mean... the United States, do you?"
OLD MAN: "I do indeed. They are the devils that attempt to invade and destroy Japan!"
OLD MAN: "This is a war we cannot afford to lose under any circumstances!"
MIKA: "A war with the US...?"
OLD MAN: "What are you mumbling to yourself there!"
OLD MAN: "What do you think would happen to us, if everyone acted as carefree as you!"
OLD MAN: "Lose focus and we might all get slaughtered, even you civilians!"
MIKA: "Slaughtered...?!"
YUKARI: "..."
OLD MAN: "Well, you must be exhausted. Please rest for now."
OLD MAN: "I have some things I need to attend to."
YUKARI: "O-okay..."
MIKA: "......"
