Part 2, Chapter 1, Scene 3:


 * January 29, 3:00 PM. When the horse-drawn carriage began to leave the checkpoint, it started to rain. Indeed, when she visited Merrigod Plateau two years ago, it was raining the same way. While remembering such things, Elluka leaned against the carriage door.


 * Coachman: "Well, at any rate, it's been a long time, Miss Hanne. Moreover..... you're sister too."


 * The coachman spoke. He noticed Elluka had been scowling from the beginning to the end so far, and had run the carriage almost silently; not able to withstand the atmosphere without conversation, he spoke. (roughly)


 * Elluka: "It has...... How's Miss Brigitta doing?"

More to do. Will be done later.
 * Coachman: "Mother? Oh, she's the same as always. Seems to be doing different stuff to try reviving Toragay with everyone.With the cure to Gift successfully completed, liveliness has finally started to return to the town."
 * Elluka: I see......"
 * And the conversation was over. The carriage was again filled with silence.
 * Gumillia: "EllukaI have a question."
 * The one who opened her mouth was Gumillia. She was behaving well, sitting back in her seat next to Elluka.
 * Elluka: "What is it, Gumillia?"
 * Gumillia: "The letter's sender..... The one called "Irina Clockworker" is"
 * Elluka: "...... The girl whowas going to be my sister-in-law. And..... the true identity of the red cat mage. I didn't notice that for over six hundred years."
 * Gumillia: "When did you notice?"
 * Elluka: "When I got the challenge to a duel."
 * Gumillia stared Elluka in the face for a while.
 * Gumillia: "..... Lies. You're speaking lies, Elluka. Even before thatyou should've known that fact when you [joined/shared] memories with Sleep Princess."
 * Elluka: "...... Looks like you've broken your hypnosis as well."
 * Elluka had hypnotized Gumillia. Be that as it may, she wasn't her puppet like she told Julia. Because she didn't want to make her worry unnecessarily over the Sleep Princess matter, the fact she met again with Margarita in the Millennium Tree Forestshe hypnotized her to forget that.
 * But, Elluka's hypnosis ability wasn't as strong as Margarita's. It's potency weakened gradually over time. When she [took in/captured] the Sleep Princess with the swap technique she gained her abilities and obtained the truth.She remembered the fact she had forgotten.
 * Gumillia: "And another thing."
 * Gumillia continued to talk.
 * Gumillia: "Did you say you only had one question, Gumillia?"
 * Gumillia: "Yes. It isn't a question. I have something to report now."
 * Elluka: "What would that be"
 * Gumillia: "......"
 * Gumillia: "Gumillia pointed in the direction the carriage was traveling.
 * Gumillia: "He is here."
 * Elluka: "! You mean"
 * At the centeur of Burobarusu (still don't get it) highway stood a man in military uniform carrying a sword.
 * Elluka: "Sixth Venom......!?"
 * Elluka hurriedly ordered the carriage to stop. But, faster than the horse drawn carriage could stopGatt pulled the sword from its sheath.
 * Elluka: "! Get down!!"
 * At the same time Elluka shouted so, something like a flash seemed to emit from the sword. While shaking greatly, the carriage stopped before Gatt. The next moment Elluka looked upthe head of the horse that was pulling the carriage was lying on the roadside away from its body.
 * Elluka: "...... Such an awful thing."
 * While the coachman seemed to be safe, he had fainted. The sword Gatt hadcompared to ordinary longswords, which it clearly was, was a shining gold.
 * Gatt: "The golden key Grimm the Enda peculiar tool able to freely change its appearance...... Heheheh, 'tis magnificent. To have such power presently."
 * While Gatt was admiring the sword, he smiled fearlessly. But when he looked towards Elluka's group again, he returned to a straight face.
 * Gatt: "I cannot let thou go to First Santa Claus, Mage of Eternity."
 * Elluka: "...... Hmph."
 * Elluka exhaled a breath in amazement.
 * Elluka: "Gatt Coulomb. Why have you pledged your allegience to that child up 'til now?"
 * "'Tis for her cause. In order to correct the world, 'tis behoveful to be called "evil"."
 * Gatt: "...... Rampaging because you feel a sense of justice in it? How naive. Even though that was the case for your great-grandfather as well, in reality, it was his [cumbersome/problematic/intractable] personality.
