PROLOGUE : Chimes of the Painful Past

The sunset painted Planeptune orange, indicating that night was closing in. It was named the "land of purple progress".

Near the Basilicom lies a forest, just a few minutes walk. A figure could be seen walking there. Her lilac hair was actively fighting the wind as it was pushing it back; she had a D-pad button on her head and a white collar on her neck. She wore something that resembled a white jacket dress with yellow neckwear, long socks with pink stripes, and white shoes.

If it wasn't obvious by her looks, she is the CPU Candidate of Planeptune, or rather was, since she now rules all four nations. The sole CPU of Gamindustri.

She's currently known as Lilac Heart, or simply Nepgear.

Her footsteps softly echoed through the forest as she walked in silently, lost in thought. She had a somber look on her face. Her tired eyes told many stories, most of which weren't pleasant. They also reflected exhaustion and pain deep inside.

She walked for some time until she came to a clearing with a statue in the middle. She slowly approached it before stopping in front of it. The statue figure was looking down with closed eyes. She had long twintail braids with circular pieces of 'X' on her head, and she was wearing a purple skin suit.

She was Purple Heart, the former CPU of Planeptune, before she took over.

She was Nepgear's older sister as well, despite their physical appearances, which made a lot of people assume that she was the oldest sister.

There was writing in front of the deceased CPU that read:

{ 'In the memory of the CPU of Planeptune, who lost her life while fighting the Deity of Sin along with the other fallen CPUs' }

This may seem noble to whoever comes across it, but it is far from the truth. The people were made to believe that their CPUs lost their lives in battle with the Deity of Sin to protect Gamindustri, but the dark truth was hidden from the public, and in its place was a false cover-up story about the CPUs sudden disappearance.

Only a select group of people knew the truth behind the CPU's deaths; she was one of those people.

And how could she not?

After all, she was the one who took her own sister's life with that damn cursed sword, along with the other CPUs as well. They had no other choice. It was all in the name of protecting Gamindustri from the deity of sin and ASIC. They all sacrificed themselves to protect Gamindustri, and she was left to lead all nations under one flag and keep it peaceful as long as she lived.

She had the burden of the whole world on her shoulders.

It has been a decade and a year since their supposed victory, if she can call it one. She had been counting the days ever since that fateful day. With the deity of sin having long since vanished, Gamindustri should have been at peace, or at least should have been. ASIC remnants, while not as powerful and not having much influence like back then, still lingered. but they knew well not to bring the wrath of the goddess. Others began protesting to make her resign from her post as a CPU and let the nation be ruled by proper laws. They went as far as to make a movement. But worst of all, a whole group of citizens wanted their nation to be independent, which caused a civil war that lasted for many years.

The place brought back memories of her sister, both pleasant and unpleasant. This is the place where the sisters used to hang out when she was young—and the same place where she took her own sister's life away and where they spent their last moment together.

"Hey, sis..." Nepgear took a deep breath and turned her gaze toward her sister.

"It's been awhile. I'm sorry for not paying you a visit for a while. I got busy with work." She didn't expect any reply, but she didn't care all that much. She sat on the ground and began rummaging in her bag. "To make it up for it, I bought you your favorite food: pudding!" She put the pack of sweets in front of the sister, and she began eating her sharing of pudding while she shared with her sister about her day and kept her updated.

"...And that's all of it." After some time passed, she finished telling her stories. She then fell silent, with only the sound of the wind being heard. "I wish I could say things were doing well, but... they're not."

"Things have been very stressful lately. I've been drowning in work—mostly paperwork, you know, your favorite activity." Nepgear let out a chuckle at her own joke.

"There seem to be more frequent attacks from monsters, as if lately. Histoire, Kei, and IF have been a great help. Ms. Mina too... when she feels like it, that is." She let out a sigh under her breath.

"She really hates my guts." And can she blame her? She hates herself more than anyone after taking the lives of two innocent children. Rom and Ram... Those two names are imprinted in her mind, along with an image of the two girls breaking down, not wanting to die, which will forever haunt her.

She took Blanc away from them, as if she had robbed them of everything. Although it was her sister who finished her off, she still felt responsible as she stood there and just watched.

"As for Ms. Chika... we honestly don't know. We still don't have a clue about her disappearance." At first she locked herself in the basilicom for a long time, then... she vanished one day with no trace. She couldn't keep the only promise Vert asked her before she died. She was pathetic.

She had failed her.

"She disappeared after the group of citizens formed a militia and stated to fight back. We're not sure if she's alive at this point..." She didn't want to know what fate had befallen her; she knew it probably didn't end well, but it was only speculation as her body was yet to be found. Chika loved Vert with all her heart after reuniting with her after an agonizing three years of waiting. She could sympathize with that since she had to endure the same thing with her sister.

And she took her away from her…

The group named themselves "The Libertarians". Their goal is to make Leanbox an independent nation from the CPU due to them not accepting me as their true goddess. This was the first nation to rebel against her. Nepgear was secretly afraid that the other nation might follow. Histoire assured her that as long as she did a good job, they most likely wouldn't. Most of the citizens aren't fans of the idea of a civil war, and even those librarians only make up a small fraction of Leanbox citizens. Nepgear didn't oppress any citizens of any nation, so people generally don't have a problem with her ruling over them, but they don't have to like it or accept her as their goddess, which she did not have a problem with.

But I still can't help but think that the people might rebel at some point, despite my best efforts to keep the peace.

It's been an ongoing battle that's been going on for a long time now. They took over the nation's military base, which is problematic, and they suspect it was ASIC remnants who supplied them with their weapons and machinery for a 'mutual cause', as they both want the CPU out of the picture.

There's little they can do since there's life at stake. The cowards were hiding among the citizens; it's not like she can just bomb the whole nation so she can wipe them out without risking innocent lives who had anything to do with the Libertarian group. But the sad reality is that the whole nation was turned into a war zone. Almost half of the nation turned into rubble. A lot of people lost their homes, and some even lost their lives, despite Nepgear's best efforts to minimize casualties and even make sure they weren't.

Some people fled the nation to escape the war; others remained. Nepgear made refugee camps to help those who wanted to flee, and she fully welcomed anyone who wanted to flee the nation to her nation or any other nation they wished to immigrate to. However, those were only minorities; the rest stayed and refused to leave their home nation despite the war and the ruin that had befallen it. Nepgear could do anything but feel sorry for them and a little bit of admiration for their commitment and dedication to their nation and their decreased goddess, whom they would happily die with.

Nepgear could give in to their demands and make their nations independent. She even thought of doing it to stop the war, but Histoire told her if she did, it might send a message to other people that they could demand to make their nation independent, which would lead to more war. So the only option is to fight back so they don't send this message and show there will be severe consequences. Whether she likes it or not, she has to fight in this war and shed blood.

While she couldn't do anything to stop the war, she set out a set of rules for her combatants to follow. The first is to only kill armed combatants. But if they surrendered peacefully, they would be spared. The second is that under no circumstances do they kill or show hostility towards civilians, and they would provide protection to women, children, the elderly, and the injured. The third is to never take any hostages and help anyone who wants to flee. And whoever shall breaks one of them will face severe punishment. But it wasn't enough, and because of the loss of some lives, some called her the goddess of war and blood.

"..."

"It's been lonely, you know." Her voice cracked, and she began feeling herself on the verge of breaking down. "It's not the same without you. When we were together, everything made sense; now it doesn't…" She got up and turned her gaze at her sister.

"I miss you so much, sis... I don't know what to do... hic..." Her eyes began tearing up as she never broke her sight off of her sister's face. "I wish you could be here so you can tell me that everything is going to be fine and comfort me. I need you." She knew it was wishful thinking, and she couldn't help but feel a bit selfish for saying it.

She hates this. She had never asked for any of this!

She never had the time to properly develop as a character... She never had the chance to tell her sister she loved her one last time; everything went so fast. The whole world robbed her of the only thing she loved. Now, she's being punished for doing what she had to do to save the world.

WHY! WHY DID ALL OF THIS HAPPEN?

IT'S ALL UNFAIR! she...

She feels lost…

She feels alone...

She noticed that the sun had long since set and the sky had turned a deep shade of blue; it seems she lost track of time. She didn't know how long she was crying for, but she felt her throat dry, which meant a long time had passed. Nepgear wiped the tears from her face before taking a moment to regain her composure.

"Sniff... Well, it's getting late... I should head back before Histoire gets worried. Goodbye, sis. I'll visit you again, I promise." She snuck one last glance before she left.

(N) is for Neptunia!

Nepgear decided to take a quick stroll in the city's downtown to clear her mind before stepping back to the Basilicom. The city was known to be the most futuristic, but it is now quiet and almost inanimate.

Due to the news of the civil war in Leanbox, most people were hoarding in their houses out of fear. Others were out protesting, and the rest are living their lives as normal. She didn't like the current atmosphere of the city; gone are the bustling streets filled with life and a sense of security. That is why she wanted to put an end to this pointless war.

Of course, she knew that stopping it wouldn't translate to solving all of the other problems or fixing the public opinion that people have for her.

She wasn't naïve.

She wasn't sure of herself enough to lead all nations alone since she hadn't had time to prepare. And her of all people? She was surprised that the nations were still standing after a decade of her ruling. It was mostly thanks to Histoire. She really doesn't know what she would have done without her; she's the only reason the nations hadn't fallen. It was natural, as she managed this nation once before, when she and her sister were captured for three years in that graveyard.

And not to mention Kei as well. Out of all the oracles, she was the only one who didn't hold a grudge against her—or at least she hoped she didn't. She didn't make it personal and continued working with her, helping with managing the nations. Not only that, but she helped with advancing their weapons and technology and training their intelligence agents. She is still, however, the same ol' Kei who doesn't let her feelings get in her way of work, much like Noire did.

She's grateful to have someone like her as an ally, and though she can't help but feel like she doesn't deserve all of the help from her after what she's done, she'd understand if she still secretly hates her.

We don't need CPUs to rule the nations! We humans can rule the nations ourselves.

A woman's voice broke Nepgear's train of thought, and she turned to see a woman giving a speech to a crowd of people. Nepgear took cover in one of the corners of a wall to listen in, but kept her distance as she didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to herself. The lady was admirably tall with long blue hair. She was wearing a black suit with a tie and glasses. She had an odd skull on her belt and hands. Her appearance screams villain, but looks can be deceiving, as she would be the most sensitive and gentle, not so brave, villain if that were the case.

The lady's name was Rei Ryghts, the leader of the so-called 'Citizen Group Movement'. Her movement started ten years ago, a year after the CPUs disappeared. She wasn't confident and was easily intimidated if she was pushed around. But now that the woman stood with confidence and delivered her speech, many considered her to be a charismatic leader, no matter if they agreed with her or not.

It's time that we humans... start implementing proper laws, not worshipping some CPUs.

At first, Nepgear did a background check on her and had someone undercover just to be safe. Apparently, the lady was just a regular person with no powers or anything special and had no relation to the ASIC remnant, as it seems. She had an acquaintance with the woman, mostly over debates. At first, she was so nervous and terrified of her, and she was shuddering a lot. However, after many years of forming the group and gaining a lot of followers, it seems that she also gained a bit of confidence and charisma.

After making sure she wasn't posing any threats, Nepgear didn't interfere; they were the least of her worries. All they did was occasionally protest peacefully in front of her Basilicom and pass around flyers around the city. Despite what many people think, she and Rei were mostly on good terms; both wanted what's best for Gamindustri in the end, despite their view differences. Nepgear doesn't have any ill intent against her; even Rei offered her assistance with the Leanbox situation as she used her group to raise money from charity from other nations to help feed and treat civilians who were caught in the crossfire, which earned Nepgear respect and showed how much she is a competent leader and a sincere person.

The CPUs rely on their people's faith; in fact, they are born from the people's wishes, so why should we follow them? They need us to survive, just like we need them to protect us. It's a mutual relationship where one can't live without the other.

Ask yourselves: If the CPUs are really all that worthy of worship, they wouldn't need people's faith to survive; it should be the other way around. The fact that we have this mutual relationship between humans and CPUs tells me that something is not quite right.

We created CPUs, and it was not them who created us. They need us, but we can prove that we don't need them. We can rule the nation without CPUs; in fact, we have in the past, so why can't we now?

Now that there's only one CPU who leads all the nations, which isn't ideal in my opinion, we need to stand up like the people in Leanbox did. Granted, I don't condone the method that they chose; violence begets violence. As we saw, many have lost their lives in the battle, but they kept fighting for their cause, which is admirable.

We, however, will keep protesting peacefully until our voices are heard and until our demands are met, no matter what or how long it takes...

The crowd gave a round of applause and cheered before they slowly started leaving one by one. Nepgear waited until the crowd cleared out; right now she was in deep thought. She agreed with some of what she said in her speech but also strongly disagreed with others.

I can see some of the points she made, but still... Saying that CPUs are not worthy to lead due to their nature of need of faith is like saying her whole existence is basically worthless.

Nepgear knew that wasn't what she meant, but she couldn't help but feel that way. Those people don't know how much I'm suffering and sacrificing for the sake of Gamindustri, yet they want to get rid of me? Nepgear shook her head before she was about to depart. Her foot stepped on a flyer. She bent down and picked up the piece of paper before she snuck a glance.

'Let's make Gamindustri great again! A world with Laws and not CPUs'

"I thought I had seen you." A voice called Nepgear out from behind. Nepgear already recognized the voice of the person speaking, as it wasn't that long ago when she heard it, specifically a few moments ago. Nepgear mentally groaned, as she wasn't in the mood for socializing right now. She forced a smile before she turned around.

"Hello, Miss Rei Ryghts."

"Please, no need for formalities. Rei is fine. Speaking of which, it's a bit of a surprise to see you here, Lady Nepgear. Do what I owe this pleasure of your visit; is it a social call?"

"Nothing of the sort; I was just taking a stroll in the city to make sure everything was in order, until I stumbled on you giving out a speech." She saw Rei jump for a moment before she fixed herself.

"I know that the two of us don't see eye to eye, but ultimately, I want what's best for Gamindustri." Rei's eyes scanned the place she calls home as she spoke before she wore a determined look on her face when she faced her. "Which you probably know why I said those things back there."

"I know; you don't have to explain yourself to me. And you already know that you won't live the day I resign as a CPU; if that day ever comes, that is."

"That is true; I'm almost nearing my 40s, so I will probably not live long before that, but still... It's no shame in having some sort of cause that you want to archive and fight for in life, don't you agree?" Rei was now standing next to the CPU as she snuck a glance at her.

"Yeah, I guess. I can't blame you; you humans are thriving creatures after all." This made Rei chuckle.

"Hmhm, I can't argue with that. We humans are strange creatures indeed." Both then stood there in silence until Rei broke it. "It's a bit funny, you know."

"Hm?"

"When I first met you, I was so terrified. I thought CPUs were different and scary beings. But when I met you, I realized that humans and CPUs are not so different after all."

"Minus the divine powers, going HDD, and never aging." Nepgear pointed it out without looking back.

"That's only the defining factors; if we were to take them, then CPUs can't be seen as nothing like a human being. I mean, you do most of the things that humans do, like sleeping and eating, if I'm not mistaken. And not to mention, CPUs aren't exactly immortal, which leads me to believe humans can take CPU place in leading."

"Yeah, and do you think that there are magical items that grant people powers to become CPUs?"

"No, but maybe there is a world out there like that; you never know." Rei said a hit of sarcasm. "Back to the point, even humans can reach somewhat near to a CPU power once they have a lot of experience. Your human friends fought alongside you, and they held pretty well, if I'm not misremembering. Which defeats the purpose of people relying on CPUs to protect them when they are capable of defending themselves if they worked and combined them with themselves."

"Well, it's also in human's nature to have some sort of faith in something or someone. Even if CPUs didn't exist, they would find something to believe in, like ASIC, for example. It's simply coded in them."

"I'm fully aware of that, which is why I started this movement years ago when the other CPUs sadly lost their lives in the battle to protect Gamindustri. I hope you don't mind me speaking my mind out for a second."

"It's fine, Rei. You can speak freely with me; it's not like I'm going to smite you or anything for having different beliefs." Nepgear rolled her eyes.

"I know, but I still have the need to ask regardless. Back then, I viewed CPUs as divine beings, one where they couldn't be compared to humans. But the more I learned, the more I realized it wasn't the case. They live like humans and can die like humans, and the last thing that shattered my view on CPUs was how they are made by people's wishes and live out of people's faith and shares. To me, this just doesn't speak divine at all."

"So what you're saying is that I should grow myself a pair of wings and just live in Celestia and bless people and answer their prayers from above?" Nepgear gave her a funny look while delivering her line of sarcasm.

"No. Not necessary. I have nothing against you, and I only have nothing but respect, but I only see you as an equal to me, a human who is gifted with powers, nothing more or less." Rei let out a sigh. "Or perhaps I have set the bar for my standard for CPU a bit too high, but if I were to give my faith to anything, I want to be sure that they deserve said faith. It won't matter to them if people have faith in them or not; they shouldn't compare to humans and exede them in every way. I guess what I'm trying to say is that religion is a tad difficult topic to discuss, so don't take it the wrong way or anything. I'm just a human with different ideas in her head."

"You don't say."

"Of course I won't say with full confidence that I will do a better job than a CPU; I'm simply not one, and I can't speak about what you went through and the losses that have befallen you. But what I can say is that I will do my absolute best. Granted, we humans can make mistakes; the CPU has at some point, but we humans can learn from our mistakes, which translates to recording history so we don't repeat them."

"Heh, you sure do have a way with words, you know."

"I'll take that as a compliment." Rei returned the smile that Nepgear gave her. "Still, sometimes I can't help but wonder what my life would be if I were to be a CPU, to be able to live centuries and watch many nations rise and fall. It kind of gives you an existential crisis when you think about it. I can't imagine how you deal with this stuff as a CPU."

"I haven't even lived a century yet, but I would probably have existential thoughts now, thanks to you."

"My apologies; I didn't mean to be insensitive, especially when you are still dealing with the losses of your comrades and... sister." Rei offered her a pity look.

"Don't worry about it; I mostly dealt with it. Anyway..." Nepgear began stretching herself. "I should really head now. Histoire is probably worried that I'm late, and I'm a bit tired myself, so I'll excuse myself."

"Very well then. Forgive me for interrupting your night, Lady Nepgear."

"You remind me of myself in the past with the amount of apologies you gave, you know. Anyway, it was nice chatting with you, Rei. Do enjoy the rest of your night."

"The same goes to you. Oh, and send my regards to Histoire!"

"Will do." Nepgear waved as she departed.

(N)

She soon arrived at the Basilicom, which was the largest tower in Planeptune. The staff welcomed her as she entered the building. She took the elevator up and waited until the door opened. Histoire greeted her right away after patiently waiting for her to arrive.

She was a fairy-sized girl sitting on a floating book. She had blond hair and blue eyes. She wore a purple dress with a green tie, and she had butterfly-shaped wings. She is a tome that is tasked with recording the whole history of Gamindustri; she also serves as the oracle of Planeptune and is also the closest thing she had as a family.

"Nepgear, There you are! I was starting to get worried." She floated towards the purple-haired girl.

"Hello, Histoire. Sorry for making you worry. I've kind of lost track of time there while I was out strolling in the city. I met Rei there, and we talked for a bit. She, uh, also sent her regards to you."

"Really now? That's awfully nice of her. Anyway, I must apologize. I've been feeling tense recently, which led me to assume the worst."

"Don't worry, it's just not you. We all are. So, are there any new reports from Kei today?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, Kei informed me earlier today that there are matters that need our immediate attention. She said she'd call sometime tomorrow to give you a brief overview of the situation. It seems she needs you for a job."

"I see. Well, thanks for notifying me. Anyway, I'll head back and start with the paperwork." Nepgear excused herself. Each oracle took care of the majority of their own country's paperwork, with the exception of Leanbox, but there were still some that required the CPU's personal review. After the civil war broke out in Leanbox, the pile of paper just kept piling up each minute.

"There's no need. I already took care of most of them while you were away; how about you take a break and leave the rest to me?"

"No, I can't possibly leave all that work to you. I am sure there are still some that I can do." Histoire once more stopped her.

"Nepgear. You've been working excessively these last few days. Please take today off. I insist." She wasn't lying, as she looked like she hadn't had proper sleep for days, but she couldn't afford to sleep now; there was work to be done.

"Histoire, I can't rest while innocent lives are dying out there. You well know that!" Nepgear wanted to shout her frustration out to the tomb, but she didn't want to take it out on Histoire. She tried her hardest, but it still came out a bit louder than she intended.

"I am fully aware, but you won't be any good if you continue exhausting yourself like that, Nepgear."

"I'm fine—"

"Please, Nepgear." Histoire interjected firmly yet softly before she could finish. "I implore you. Just take this day to rest. Just one day, it's all I ask."

Nepgear did not respond; she wanted to argue but decided otherwise. "Sigh... I really can't argue with you. I know that you can manage the work just fine, and you're only looking after me, and I couldn't be more grateful for that."

"I just... I worry about you, Nepgear." She felt her hands get wrapped around the fairy's tiny hands. "You have a lot put on you. I already lost a CPU, and I can't bear to lose you as well." She felt her tiny hands tighten around her.

"Don't forget: I will be on your side no matter what you choose."

"I know..."

"Please… Don't lose yourself out there." She pecked her forehead before giving her a pleading look. "Please, promise me that."

"I... I promise you that I won't." The tomb nodded before she slowly let go of her hand and departed without a word.

"..."

Nepgear deliberately made her way to her room. As she entered the room, she took a quick glance around and felt a wave of nostalgia wash over her.

The room was mostly purple; there was a bunk bed and a wide window on the left with a city view. There was a tiny table in the center and two desks on the right; however, one of them was cleared out since she is the only one currently living here. Her sister's belongings were put in boxes and stored safely. She made sure to cherish them.

The room felt empty... Despite making a lot of effort to make sure that the room is spotless, it's as if she's anticipating that her dear sister will return someday. But Nepgear knew it wasn't going to happen, but she kept doing it regardless, and she didn't know why. Maybe it was her way of coping with it along with drowning herself in work, which can put Noire's workaholism to shame.

Perhaps she has yet to accept the depressing reality that her sister has left forever. Like her sister, her data was wiped out of the game without a trace.

She rarely slept in their room; she'd sleep in her office or workplace most of the time. She would spend a lot of nights restless, unable to sleep. Her sister's voice, along with those of her friends, is still fresh in her mind, and she can even sometimes hear them calling for her in the other rooms. She has experienced a lot of nightmares in the past, but thankfully, they haven't stopped being frequent. They still happen from time to time.

Nepgear wasn't feeling tired at the moment, so she might as well make use of her time until then. She left the room soon after and decided to head to her workplace and finish one of her projects that she had been working on for a while.

She sat down on her table; there was a portrait of her sister Neptune on it. She picked it up and examined it for a bit before setting it aside. The project blueprint included an illustration of a notebook labeled 'NEP-NOTE'.

Not the most original name she came up with, like her N-Gear. She knows. She thought of naming it N-NOTE, but she settled on NEP-NOTE since it's better and rolls off the tongue.

The main function of it, aside from being able to record, is the ability to store things and even living beings inside the book regardless of their size, like a pocket-dimension prison. It can also allow access to the abilities of the captives. It was basically a glorified version of the N-Gear that could store things, but what sets it apart from being N-Gear 2.0 is that its main function is storing living things in it. She needs a suitable test subject to test it later, like bugs, but only after she tests it with a non-living object first.

Well, she was naturally born a genius when it comes to inventing stuff, especially the absurd ones. Though she wished it came with the knowledge of leading four nations.

Well, better get to it.

Nepgear opened her toolbox and began working on the book for several hours nonstop. After a while, she felt herself getting tired, until slowly darkness began covering her vision before she unconsciously drifted to sleep on her desk as she was finished with the final adjustment to her invention.

Author's Notes

Thanks for checking this story out! I hope you all enjoy it. The stories "The First Change" and "Memories" by Charlotte Eraviel on Fanfiction served as inspiration for this story, alongside some of his other works. Check them out if you have the time, and also check out his other story called 'Change the World'. They are extremely underrated stories. Anyway, this is my take on the conquest ending, since there aren't many conquest ending stories out there. I've had this idea for so long since I started reading Neptunia fanfiction after searching for Conquest content in 2018, so I'm hyped. Expect slower updates since I have another story and need to play Victory before I proceed.

Fun fact: I never played any of the Neptunia games. Crazy, huh? Since I'm writing this story, I decided to buy the second and third games on my PS3 and play them. Until next time, bye and have a good one.

*Disclaimer: I don't own this franchise or the characters; all rights go to Ideal Factory and Compile Heart. But you already know that, don't you? Furthermore, some real-world conflicts might draw inspiration from some story elements, but they are not based on real events. And if they were, they are purely coincidental.

Next Chapter: Spacing Out?

Nepgear is tasked with investigating a hidden base outside of Leanbox. Kei dispatches her to assist special agent IF in gathering the enemies' intelligence and taking them down.
