「所有人都撤离了，阿兰，赶快撤退！」
「可能还有幸存的科员。」
「没有了…已经没有其他生命信号了。」
他明白自己应该相信艾丝妲，直到他看见反物质军团正如潮水般向他涌来。监察域传来的信号微弱，艾丝妲看不到这个画面。
此刻，他正站在电梯前。这里只有他一个人，他必须做出判断，即使要反抗艾丝妲的命令——为了守护他们，不惜一切代价也要封锁电梯的权限，不能让怪物再接近主控舱段一步。
「抱歉，小姐……」
他还来不及解释，就遭到反物质军团的背后偷袭，他倒下，远程通讯随之切断。
他想起自己无论是在小姐家工作，还是前往空间站「黑塔」成为防卫科负责人，自始至终未有任何「犹豫」。因为小姐决定前往了那个方向，所以自己当然要追随着一起。这是理所应当的事。
阿兰艰难地抬起头，怪物步步朝他围拢。他也未曾反抗过小姐的命令，这是第一次。
「希望不是最后一次吧。」
他突然冒出这样的念头。
Character Story: Part IV
"Everyone's evacuated. Arlan. Hurry up!"
"There may still be survivors inside."
"No... There aren't any more life signs in there."
He thought he could trust Asta until the moment when countless Antimatter Legion pawns pour towards him like a tsunami. The signal from the watcher zone is faint. Asta won't be able to see this situation.
He is now standing, alone, in the elevator. He has to make a decision, even if he has to disobey Asta's orders — No matter the cost, he has to block access to the elevator to save everyone. He cannot allow these monsters to get to the master control zone.
"Sorry, Miss Asta..."
The Antimatter Legion strikes him down from behind before he can explain himself. He falls, and his remote communications disconnects.
He had never hesitated, whether working in Miss Asta's home or after becoming Herta Space Station's head of Security Department. He had always taken for granted that, since Miss Asta decided to head in one direction, he has to follow her.
Arlan raises his head with great difficulty, and the monsters move closer to him. He had never disobeyed an order from Miss Asta before. This is the first time.
"Hopefully it won't be the last time."
This thought pops up in his head.
Propping himself up with his greatsword, he slowly and firmly stands up.
