    Cold Winter 1947

    1947, in Gallia which rejoices for the peace it has found, there were repeated occurences of attacks against facilities related to Witches. Fuso Empire naval officer residing in Europe, Wing Commander Sakamoto Mio let out a small sound of astonishment when she saw a photograph which was taken by chance.

    In the photograph there was the former adjutant of Air Force General Maloney, a soldier who was always loyal to his master. Unlike Maloney, he did not receive severe punishment but he left Britannia as if he had been chased. Behind him, like a shadow, there stood a black metallic witch...

    When Wing Commander Sakamoto started her investigation she summoned her helper Hijikata (not construction worker) from Fuso. During their investigation the name of a missing army ace often rose to the surface, Suwa Masuzu . Is there something behind it...?

    Sudden focus on Hijikata worries me though. Along with this other unknown old dude. After Nanoha Force I'm beginning to worry about the future of anime heroines.

    Cold Winter 1947

    コメント復帰しました～ 1947年末、平和を謳歌するガリアで、ウィッチ関連施設の襲撃事件が多発した。現場写真を見た、扶桑皇国欧州駐在武官、坂本美緒中佐は小さな驚きの声を上げる。そこに映っていたのは、かつてマロニー空軍大将の副官を務めていた男～主人に忠実なだけの軍人として、厳罰は免れたものの、追われるようにブリタニアを去った男だ。　そして、彼の背後に影のように佇む黒銀のウィッチ･･･　独自の調査を始めた坂本中佐は、本国より助手として土方を呼び寄せる。捜査の途上で度々浮かび上がる、失踪した陸軍エース、諏訪真寿々の名。その背後には何があるのか･･･

    By the end of 1947 in peaceful Gallia, there’s a lot of incident of attack towards Witches related institutions. Seeing pictures from the scene, Fuso resident military officer for Europe, Commander Sakamoto Mio is surprised. What's pictured there is the ajudant of Maloney Air Force General; a military officer who’s loyal only to his master, a person escaped from severe punishment, and a man chased out of Brittania. Standing behind him is a black silver coloured Witch… After starting her personal investigation, Commander Sakamoto called Hijikata from her home country to be her assistant. During this investigation, time after time the name of the disappeared Army’s Ace, Suwa Masuzu came out. What’s behind all this…

    Temporary translation of the commentary. :)

    Many thanks, Seika. Given the fact that the Neuroi is modeled after Masuzu (pixiv tags also include her name) would it be safe to add her as a tag alongside Neuroi?

    I'd say the resemblance is strong enough for it to warrant Masuzu being tagged.

    It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the Neuroi in the picture is in fact a Neuroified Masuzu. And if it was the case then you gotta ask what the Neuroi did to her and why?
