[NYANTA] I DOUBT THAT EVEN SHIROE‐ECHHI COULD HAVE
ANTICIPATED A PREDICAMENT LIKE THIS.
(SIGH) LOOKS LIKE I'M GONNA NEED TO INTERVENE
A LITTLE MORE DIRECTLY THAN I'D PLANNED.
(WHISTLE BLOWING)
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT RIGHT.
IF YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TOWN OR VILLAGE,
YOU NEED TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THE CONFLICT
AWAY FROM THE POPULATION AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN.
I UNDERSTAND... IF YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR HOME...
YOU WANT A HOME STANDING ONCE THE FIGHTING'S DONE.
LEAVING THE STRUCTURES IN TACT ONLY MAKES SENSE.
[SERARA] RIGHT! WE CAN'T USE OUR TELEPATHIC LINK,
SO LEAVE YOUR PARTY‐CHAT ON WHILE YOU GUYS GET OVER HERE!
ROGER THAT.
[MINORI, THINKING] NONE OF THEM ARE ALL THAT POWERFUL.
IT'S JUST THAT THERE'S SO MANY!
WE'VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!
[SERARA] YOU THINK MISS ROE2'S OKAY BACK THERE?
[TOYA] C'MON! BIG SIS CAN HANDLE HERSELF!
[MAN A] OVER HERE! HURRY! (SERARA GASPS)
[MOTHER B] DON'T LET GO OF MY HAND.
[MAN A] C'MON! KEEP MOVING!
[TOYA] SERARA? YOU OKAY?
IT'S AMAZING THEY'RE ACTING SO CALM.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
[ALL] UH...?
[MINORI] IT'S THE ODYSSEY KNIGHTS!
[TOYA] SO THEY'RE GONNA FIGHT 'EM!
[SERARA] THAT'S WHY THE VILLAGERS AREN'T PANICKING!
[TOYA] WE NEED TO KEEP MOVING.
HEH. (HEAVY BREATHS)
(KNOCK, KNOCK)
[RUDY] MISS ISUZU? CAN I TALK TO YOU?
UH... (EXHALE)
MM?
UH... MM.
[ISUZU] DO YOU THINK... THAT THE BATTLE'S ALREADY STARTED?
(EXHALES)
MISS ISUZU!
UH? WHAT NOW?
(GIGGLE)
THERE'S NO NEED TO FEAR! RUNDELLHAUS KODE IS HERE!
SAPHIR VILLAGE AND MISS ISUZU!
ALONG WITH MISS MINORI AND SERARA!
YOU ARE SAFE WITH MY PASSIONATE ORB OF LAVA
PROTECTING YOU FROM HARM! GAH!
RUDY! THIS IS NO TIME TO GOOF AROUND! HM?
EHEHEHE... MM?
PREPARE YOURSELF...
WHAT NOW, RUDY?
UH...? HUH?
WHA‐ WHAT'RE YOU DOING?
[RUDY] THIS IS CALLED THE "BIRD SHOE."
YOU WON'T REALLY FLY LIKE A BIRD OR ANYTHING PER SE.
BUT YOU WILL NOTICE BEING ABLE TO GET AROUND MUCH MORE QUICKLY!
SO IT'S A SPELL TO MAKE ME RUN FASTER?
EXACTLY.
OH! THIS IS AWESOME!
[RUDY] I TOLD YOU I'M A GENIUS, RIGHT?!
EHEH! WHATEVER YOU SAY RUDY. UH! HUH?
LET'S GO!
YEAH!
(RUNNING)
(FRIGHTENED)
(BATTLE CRIES)
WHAT IS THIS...?
(MORE BATTLE CRIES AND CHUCKLING)
(MINORI INHALES) [TOYA] THEY WANNA DIE...?
[KNIGHT A] COME AND GET ME, COME AND GET ME!
[KNIGHT B] OVER HERE, I'M RIGHT HERE!
[KNIGHT C] GET HIM!
OH NO... WHAT'RE THEY DOING?
UWHAHH!
(LAUGHTER)
(WYVERN SNARLING) [KNIGHT C] OVER HERE!
[KNIGHT D] COME AND GET US! GET US!
(BATTLE CRIES)
[SHUNICHI] ANCHOR HOWL!
[KNIGHT G] SHUNICHI! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
[KNIGHT D] LET ME DIE WITH YOU! [KNIGHT C] ME, TOO!
(SCREAM)
THEY HAVE NO...
STRATEGY... OR TEAMWORK.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
THEY'RE MAKING THE WYVERNS ATTACK THEM!
I DON'T GET IT! WHAT ARE THEY DOING OUT THERE?
[SHUNICHI] I'M RIGHT HERE!
DO IT! TAKE ME TO THE OTHER SIDE! ARGHHH!
[KNIGHT G] UGHHH... EH?
[KNIGHT H] UGH, WHAT, I'M BACK ALREADY.
[KNIGHT F] SO QUICK.
[KNIGHT G] THAT WAS MY THIRD TIME.
[KNIGHT H] GO, GO, GO!
[KNIGHT I] AH! LET'S DO IT AGAIN!
[TOYA] I WAS RIGHT... THEY REALLY WANNA DIE!
[ROE2] IT'S A PRETTY INTERESTING STRATEGY IF YOU ASK ME.
[ROE 2] THE SHRINE IS RESPAWNING THEM.
IT'S JUST LIKE A CATHEDRAL.
ONLY THEY DON'T HAVE TO ENDURE
THE WAIT TIME THEY USUALLY WOULD.
(KNIGHT GRUNTING)
WHAT KIND OF INVENTOR COULD
COME UP WITH THAT...?
IT'S REALLY IMPRESSIVE.
BIG SIS ROE2?
YOU'VE GOTTA BE INTERESTED, RIGHT, TOYA?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
"INTERESTED?!" THAT MACHINE IS DISGUSTING...!
TOTALLY WRONG!
NO... THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.
IT'S JUST AN INVENTION
THAT USES THE LAWS OF THIS WORLD.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!
[ROE2] AND FROM WHERE I'M STANDING...
THOSE KNIGHTS ARE GIVING UP THEIR EMPATHIUM
TO THE SYSTEM FREELY ENOUGH. [SERARA] EH?
THE HARVESTING RATE IS EXCELLENT
CONSIDERING ALL THE DYING THEY'RE DOING.
THE GENIUSES ARE DEFINITELY BENEFITTING FROM IT.
WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! THEY'RE ALL DYING...!
WE GOTTA STOP THIS!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO.
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE TRYING TO DIE OUT THERE.
[ROE2] NONE OF THEM ARE SLOWING DOWN
OR STOPPING.
THEIR ACCELERATED TRIP THROUGH
THE SHRINE LET'S THEM SEE THEIR FORMER LIVES,
AND THEY'RE ADDICTED TO IT!
OF COURSE, I NEVER EXPERIENCED IT MYSELF.
(MECHANICAL WHIRLING)
LONDARK HERE, NO HOSTILE CONTACTS HAVE BEEN SEEN.
THE MAGIC RAILS APPEAR TO BE RUNNING SPLENDIDLY.
[SORCERER B] WE'VE RECEIVED A REPORT FROM LORD LONDARK.
EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE WELL.
[MIZPHA] HE SCRAMBLES OUT OF SUSUKINO LIKED A WHIPPED DOG,
AND STILL GETS TREATED LIKE NOBILITY
BECAUSE HE'S AN ADVENTURER?!
[SORCERER A] ACCORDING TO THE NIGHTSHADE SERVANT
ON RECONNAISSANCE,
THE ODYSSEY KNIGHTS HAVE ENGAGED
A FLIGHT OF WYVERNS IN SAPHIR VILLAGE. (GULPS AND SLURPS)
HEH! LET THE FOOLS DIE.
RELEASE THE SERVANTS, HALF OF THEM!
[SORCERER C] YES, MA'AM!
[SORCERER D] CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY STABLE.
[SORCERER C] EXCELLENT. COMMENCE ACTIVATION.
[SORCERER D] SYNCHRONIZE BED 20 WITH THE SYSTEM. MONITOR EXP.
[SORCERER C] PARTY CHAT ENGAGED.
[NAKARUNARD] YOU KIDDING ME? YOU ACTUALLY MADE THIS THING WORK?!
[ZELDEUS] YES, IT'S ABLE TO SUMMON A NIGHTSHADE SERVANT.
THE PERSON OF THE LAND'S MIND IS PROJECTED ON IT.
[MIZPHA] AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN THE EXPERIENCE POINTS
FROM THE SERVANT LEVELS UP THE PERSON OF THE LAND.
[NAKARUNARD] NO WAY.
[ZELDEUS] THE BEST PART IS...
IF THE SERVANT PERISHES IN BATTLE,
THE PERSON OF THE LAND CONTROLLING IT STAYS SAFE.
[JARED] TEE‐HEE! IN A WAY,
WE'RE ESSENTIALLY GIVING THESE PEOPLE OF THE LAND
TEMPORARY "IMMORTALITY."
(LAUGHTER) [KUONG] GOD, YOU'RE CREEPY!
[JARED] ACK! KEEP IT DOWN WHILE THE GROWN‐UPS
ARE TALKING BUSINESS! [KUONG] OW, THAT HURTS!
[ZELDEUS] ENOUGH YOU TWO! [KUONG] KNOCK IT OFF!
[KAZUHIKO] SO IT'S BASICALLY A POWER‐UP TECHNIQUE?
[NAKARUNARD] A FAST POWER‐UP TECHNIQUE!
[JARED] OH THIS IS FUN! [KUONG] MAYBE FOR YOU!
[MIZPHA] FASCINATING.
[JARED] ONCE PERFECTED, WE'LL HAVE AS MANY LAND PEOPLE
IN OUR ARMY AS WE NEED! [KUONG] COME ON, ENOUGH ALREADY!
(JARED CREEPILY LAUGHING)
[SORCERER C] ACKNOWLEDGED. I WILL BEGIN ADMINISTERING
THE EXPERIENCE POTION IN TEN MINUTES.
HUH? NO DON'T! IT'S DANGEROUS!
[SORCERER B] GENERAL MIZPHA,
SIR KAZUHIKO INSISTS WE REFRAIN
FROM ADMINISTERING THE POTIONS.
[MIZPHA] I'M SURE HE DOES, HE'S A HYPOCRITE.
THE MAN'S AN ADVENTURER, AND WE ARE PEOPLE OF THE LAND.
IMMORTALS HAVE NO STAKE WHATSOEVER IN OUR WAR.
WE ARE THE ONES WHO TRULY MAKE SACRIFICES.
[KNIGHTS] UGH... [MIZPHA] ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
[KNIGHT H] OHH...
[ROE2] TRUTH BE TOLD, I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND
THE SOCIETY YOU'RE DEVELOPING.
IT SEEMS QUITE INEFFICIENT TO ME.
[KNIGHT L] WHAT'RE THEY DOING?! [TOYA] HUH?
[SHUNICHI] NIGHTSHADE SERVANTS?
[MABANJIN] WHERE THE HELL DID THEY COME FROM?!
[SHUNICHI] NO! PROTECT THE SHRINE AT ALL COSTS!
[KNIGHTS] YEAH!
[ROE2] YOU JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT
THE WORLD YOU DON'T SEE
IS BIGGER THAN THE WORLD YOU DO SEE...
(DEATH CRIES) (BATTLE EXERTS)
[ROE2] OUR REALM OF UNDERSTANDING
IS INCREDIBLY SMALL AND INCONSEQUENTIAL...
SO THE FACT THAT I CAN'T WRAP MY HEAD AROUND
ANY OF THIS ISN'T SURPRISING.
[TOYA] UNGH! [MINORI] TOYA!
[SERARA] TOYA...! WAIT... YOU NEED A HEALER!
GO, WOLFY!
(SQUEE)
[WOLF‐CHAN] YIP‐YIP! (SERARA GASPS)
[SERARA] LOOKS LIKE SOME OF THE PEOPLE HERE DIDN'T
GET TO THE SHELTER IN TIME!
LET'S GO HELP 'EM, WOLFY!
[WOLF‐CHAN] YIP‐YIP‐YIP!
(WAR CRY)
[TOYA] WHIRLWIND SLASH!
JOIN THE FIGHT... TOYA ALREADY HAS.
HUH?
(EXHALE)
JUST WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY ROE2?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
(BREATH) (HALF LAUGH)
[ROE2] HEH, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOU'VE ASKED ME THAT.
(BREATH)
[BOTH] UH? ACK!
[ISUZU] HYAHH!
[RUDY] HAHHHH!
OH...?
WHAT'S THAT?
[ISUZU] WHAT WERE THOSE THINGS ANYWAY?
THEY JUST POPPED RIGHT UP!
AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY YIN DISPERSAL WHEN WE BEAT THEM.
(EXHALE) HEY, MISS ISUZU... ARE YOU OKAY OVER THERE?
YOU'RE NOT WEARING YOURSELF OUT ARE YOU?
[ISUZU] HMPH...? NO, I'M FINE...
YOU READY FOR MORE?
YOU SHOULD BE BETTER IN ABOUT A MINUTE!
[WOLF‐CHAN] YIP‐YIP! [SERARA] HUH?
GIMME A SECOND OKAY, WOLFY?
I GOTTA HEAL THIS GUY!
[SHUNICHI] ALL RIGHT EVERYONE! FALL BACK TO THE CITY LIMITS!
[SHUNICHI] NIGHTSHADE SERVANTS ARE RALLYING AGAINST US!
DO NOT LET THEM LIVE!
AND GET THE WYVERNS ON THE GROUND!
HAVE THEM FOLLOW YOU INTO ONE OF THE STRUCTURES
WHERE THEY CAN'T MOVE! THEN STRIKE!
[SHUNICHI] GET 'EM ALL! DON'T LET ANY OF THEM ESCAPE!
KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! AND THEN DO SOME DYING YOURSELVES!
[TOYA] GUH. (SHARP INHALE) (KNIGHTS CHEERING)
[TOYA] HEY...
HEY!
(PUNCH)
(GASP)
TOYA?
HUH? WAS THAT TOYA?
HUH?
TOYA!
[TOYA] HEY! (PUNCH)
[SHUNICHI] HUH?
WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM?!
STAY OUT OF THIS, BOY.
I THOUGHT YOU GUYS HAD A JOB...
EVERYONE IN THE ODYSSEY KNIGHTS IS SUPPOSED TO BE
PROTECTING THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND!
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY THEIR CITY!
[TOYA] PEOPLE LIVE IN THOSE BUILDINGS!
THAT...
DOESN'T CONCERN ME...
WHAT! ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOURSELF?!
THERE'S GOTTA BE ANOTHER WAY FOR YOUR GUYS TO DO THIS!
IF YOU WANT TO BE CRAZY AND KILL YOURSELF, GO FOR IT.
BUT C'MON... YOU DON'T HAVE TO DESTROY
A BUNCH OF PEOPLE'S LIVES IN THE PROCESS!
[SHUNICHI] YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND, KID.
(GASP)
(GROWLING)
WHY ARE YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT US ANYWAYS.
YOU DO KNOW WE CAN'T DIE HERE, RIGHT?
WE COULDN'T EVEN COMMIT SUICIDE IF WE WANTED TO.
YEAH, BUT...
LOOK!
WE JUST WANNA GET OUTTA HERE!
WE ARE GOING TO GET BACK HOME!
UH...!
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND.
WHEN WE RESPAWN, WE GET TO SEE OUR FAMILIES!
YOU GET TO SEE THE WORLD WE LEFT BEHIND EVERY SINGLE TIME.
EVEN IF JUST FOR A MOMENT!
IT'S PROOF THEY MUST BE CONNECTED IN SOME WAY.
[SHUNICHI] IT'S PROOF! (TOYA GASPS)
[SHUNICHI] I'LL DIE... AND I'LL DIE!
AND I'LL KEEP ON DYING AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES!
NO ONE CAN STOP ME FROM GOING BACK TO OUR WORLD!
THIS ISN'T THE WAY...
I WAS... I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET MARRIED THIS SUMMER.
AND... AND I WAS GONNA GIVE UP THIS STUPID GAME FOR GOOD!
I MEAN, WE WENT APARTMENT SHOPPING AND EVERYTHING.
I'M GETTING MARRIED! I LOVE HER!
I CAN'T BE STUCK HERE PLAYING THIS STUPID THING FOREVER!
WHEN MY LEASE IS DONE,
I'M PACKING UP AND GETTING A NEW PLACE WITH MY WIFE!
SHE'S REALLY BEEN PUTTING ON THE PRESSURE.
SHE TELLS ME EVERYTIME I SEE HER,
SHE WANTS OUT OF HER FOLKS' HOUSE LIKE, YESTERDAY!
"FINE BABY, JUST GIMME SOME TIME, AND I'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN!"
SHE CAN'T HANDLE IT ANYMORE. I'VE GOTTA GET HER OUT!
COME ON, KID!
DON'T YOU HAVE SOMEONE BACK HOME? DON'T DENY IT!
[TOYA] ALL I KNOW IS THAT THERE'RE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE HERE
WHO ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK...
THIS WORLD IS REAL!
[SHUNICHI] SHUT UP! [TOYA] UWAH!
[SHUNICHI] YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! [TOYA] AHHHH!
(WATER SPLASHING) [TOYA] AHNGH!
[SHUNICHI] THIS PLACE HAS NOTHING! NOT EVEN DEATH!
WE'RE NOT IN SOME FANTASY LAND!
WE'RE NOT EVEN IN HELL! YOU GET IT!
THIS PLACE DOESN'T EVEN EXIST!
(DISAPPOINTED)
AND THE ONLY THING KEEPING US HERE
ARE VERMIN LIKE YOU CLINGING TO LIFE.
YOU REFUSE TO LET IT END.
THE REST OF US ARE LEFT HERE TO SUFFER. AND BEG FOR ESCAPE!
[TOYA] (GRUNT AND GROANING) UGH...
THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT, AND YOU KNOW IT.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT!
TOYA...
[TOYA] YOU'VE GOTTA BE ABLE TO SEE
WHAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!
(CAR SCREECHING AND CRASHING)
[MAN A] HEY, ARE YOU OKAY?
[MAN B] HELLO?! THERE'S BEEN AN ACCIDENT!
(MUTTERING)
[MINORI] TOYA... IT'S ME... IT'S MINORI!
[TOYA] MISTER. LIFE... IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT.
YOU CAN BE ALIVE, BUT DEAD INSIDE...
EVEN BACK IN OUR OLD WORLD.
SURE YOU CAN WALK AROUND AND LIVE YOUR LIFE...
BUT IT'S MEANINGLESS IF YOU DON'T CARE ANYMORE.
YOU KNOW IT TRUE!
[SHUNICHI] HEH! TELL YA WHAT, KID.
IF YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME,
WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD TAKE IT UP WITH THE SYSTEM OPERATOR.
THEN THEY CAN BOOT ME FROM THE SERVER. AND THEN I'LL BE FREE!
OKAY... I KNOW HOW HE FEELS...
I GET THAT HE WANTS TO GO HOME AND ALL... BUT STILL.
MISS ISUZU...
OH...!
THE GUY OUT THERE.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE MEANT.
AH...
UGN. HE ISN'T RIGHT.
[ISUZU] EVERYONE... EVERYONE... THEY'RE ALL REAL. HMM.
[MINORI, THINKING] TOYA WAS ALWAYS SMILING
EVEN THOUGH HE WAS STUCK IN THAT WHEELCHAIR.
MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD
THAT THE WORLD AROUND HIM CHANGED,
AND THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO ABOUT IT ANYMORE.
THE WORLD GOT SO BIG AND UNFAIR.
AND THERE WASN'T ANY HOPE TO FIGHT AGAINST IT.
HE KEPT GOING, AND DOING WHAT HE COULD WITH THAT HE HAD.
HE ACCEPTED HIS FATE!
(SNARL)
[SHUNICHI] HUAH!
[SHUNICHI] UWAH! [TOYA] UGH!
[MINORI, THINKING] AND HE'S DOING THE SAME THING NOW!
[ROE2] SO TOYA IS PROTESTING FATE.
SERARA IS CASTING HEARTBEAT HEALING ON ALL
THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND AFTER SHE DRESSES THEIR WOUNDS.
ISUZU AND RUNDELLHAUS ARE DEFENDING THE VILLAGERS
AS THEY'RE MAKING THEIR WAY HERE.
(BATTLE EXERTS)
[ROE2] THE THING IS, THOUGH, AS HARD AS THEY'RE FIGHTING.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
(BATTLE EXERTS)
CONSIDERING EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON...
YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER, DON'T YOU?
UH?
[ROE2] I MEAN I COULD STAND HERE AND
ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTIONS, COULDN'T I?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
[ISUZU] SOMETHING'S BEEN ON MY MIND EVER SINCE YESTERDAY.
UH...?
[ISUZU] I'VE BEEN THINKING AND THINKING.
BUT I DIDN'T REALLY FIGURE IT ALL OUT UNTIL JUST NOW.
I HAD TO FIGHT MY OWN INSECURITIES...
I JUST COULDN'T FIND MY INSPIRATION.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
BUT YOU KNOW...?
I REALLY DID HAVE IT GOOD BEFORE.
I HAD A GREAT DAD, WHO LOVED ME AND CARED FOR ME.
AND WELL, LIFE WAS FULL OF MUSIC!
WHEN I WAS SAD OR UPSET,
THERE WERE SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF SONGS
I COULD LISTEN TO.
MUSIC ALWAYS HELPED ME THROUGH, NO MATTER WHAT.
BUT THIS... THIS IS TERRIBLE.
42 SONGS ISN'T ENOUGH...
NOT AT ALL!
IT'S JUST AWFUL
THAT YOU CAN'T SING WHENEVER YOU'RE SAD,
WHENEVER YOU'RE HAPPY.
MISS ISUZU...
WHICH IS WHY... (LUTE STRUMMING)
UH...! WHAT'RE YOU DOING?!
LET'S GO, RUDY!
UH! WHERE ARE WE GOING?!
[RUDY] SO UH... WHAT'RE WE GONNA DO?
[ISUZU] WE'RE GOING TO PICK A FIGHT! [RUDY] A FIGHT?!
[ISUZU] WE'RE GOING OUT THERE TO PICK A FIGHT
WITH THE GODS WHO ONLY CREATED 42 SONGS FOR THIS WORLD.
AND I'M NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL THEY START SINGING ALONG.
[RUDY] (HEAVY BREATHING) DON'T GO WITHOUT ME, MISS ISUZU!
[MINORI, THINKING] THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT HER.
BUT I'M...
I'M NOT SURE IF I REALLY WANT
TO KNOW WHAT IT IS.
NO, THAT SHOULDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
NO MATTER WHO SHE IS, SHE IS HERE WITH ME. AND MY FRIEND.
AND IN THE END. THAT'S ALL I CAN ASK.
I MEAN, WHO AM I, REALLY?
WHERE AM I GOING?
SHE MAKES ME ASK...
... WHAT DO I WANT TO BE?
(MUSIC PLAYING) UH?
[MINORI, THINKING] ISUZU?
SHE'S SINGING...!
THAT'S HER DREAM. THAT'S WHAT SHE DOES.
YEAH, AND I HAVE A DREAM TOO...
I WANT TO BE LIKE SHIROE.
YES. THAT'S IT. I WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
I WANT TO CARVE NEW PATHS.
(INHALES) (SLAPS)
I AM THE APPRENTICE OF MASTER SHIROE.
AND YOU'RE OUR BIG SISTER, ROE2! [ROE2] UH?
YOU CAME FROM NOWHERE,
AND YOU'LL BE GOING BACK THERE, BUT FOR RIGHT NOW...
YOU'RE WITH US, AND YOU'RE OUR FRIEND!
(LAUGHING)
SO YOU FOUND YOUR ANSWER, IN THE MIDDLE OF BATTLE?
THAT'S RIGHT I DID... I HAVE FOUND MY ANSWER.
EVEN IF WE CAN'T CHANGE WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE CAN ALWAYS MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF WE'RE WILLING TO TRY.
OKAY, SO SHOULDN'T YOU BE OUT THERE HELPING TOYA?
MY BROTHER WILL BE JUST FINE.
YEAH, BUT HE CAN'T HEAR A WORD YOU'RE SAYING.
RIGHT NOW, I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO.
HM...
WELL IF YOU'D LIKED ME TO HELP, I'M HERE FOR YOU.
SURE. (MUSIC ENDING)
OKAY! YOU GOT IT, MINORI!
LET'S DO THIS! AFTER ALL, WHAT'RE BIG SISTERS FOR?!
RIGHT!
SUMMON!
BEING A TRAVELER DOES COME WITH CERTAIN RESPONSIBILITIES.
MINORI, DO YOU KNOW WHAT A SHAME IT'D BE IF I SAID NO
TO YOU RIGHT NOW? ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU ASKED ME SO NICELY!
ANYTIME MY LITTLE SISTER NEEDS ME,
I'M GONNA BE THERE!
(FIGHTING)
[ROE2] THE STABILITY OF THE CONVERGING FACTORS DIRECTLY
CORRELATES WITH THE INCREASING SCALE OF THE BATTLE.
HOWEVER, THIS LEADS TO RANK DETERMINISM.
SMALL FRAGMENTS ARE UNNECESSARILY LOST
DURING THE COURSE OF THE EVENT.
NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT...
EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE HAPPY, IT'S NORMAL.
BUT, THINK ABOUT IT!
ALL THOSE DESIRES ARE LEADING EVERYONE TO IMMENSE SORROWS.
DID I LOSE YOU?
MM‐HM.
WELL IT'S YOUR LANGUAGE;
I'M STILL TRYING TO LEARN IT!
IF YOU DON'T MIND MY SAYING SO YOUR LANGUAGE IS THE ONLY THING
KEEPING ME FROM EXPRESSING MY CONCLUSIONS PROPERLY.
CAN YOU REALLY ENDURE THIS UNREASONABLE SOLITUDE WHILE
LIVING LIKE YOU'RE STUCK IN A STONE AGE?
I KNOW IT'S TOO MUCH FOR ME!
BUT YOUR COMPASSION, WHAT I CALL EMPATHIUM,
IT MAKES YOU CARE FOR PEOPLE, AM I RIGHT?
[MINORI] HUH?
[LONDARK, VOICE CHAT] GENERAL CONQUEROR OF THE EAST,
YOUR SERVANTS ARE UNDER ATTACK AT THIS VERY MOMENT.
[MIZPHA] EXCUSE ME?!
[MIZPHA] WHO IS IT?!
[LONDARK] WELL WHO DO WE HAVE HERE?
I FEEL LIKE WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE, HAVE WE NOT?
[AKATSUKI, VOICEOVER] LONDARK STANDS IN DEFIANCE.
THE FEELINGS HE HAS FOR THIS WORLD
HAVE GROWN WARPED AND TWISTED.
HE WONDERS WHY EVERYONE WAS BROUGHT TO THIS WORLD
AND WHY NO ONE WAS GIVEN A CHOICE.
NYANTA HAS NO ANSWERS.
TOYA, ISUZU, AND THE OTHER JUNIOR MEMBERS
CONTINUE THEIR STRUGGLE.
AS THEY SEEK TO FIND THEIR OWN ANSWERS.
[SHIROE] MY COMRADES ARE ALWAYS BESIDE ME.
