This place is a disaster,
It's ridiculous,,,
I doubt this room's ever been cleaned up,
Maybe no one uses it?
Or maybe they do,
What are you up to, Nephren?
It's Ren,
You can just call me Ren,
Well, thanks for the coffee, Ren,
May I ask you what you're doing here so late?
I've been looking for your sortie records, actually,
Those are in the junk room?
Need some help?
Sure, if you don't mind,
After that, I want to find the files on timeres,
I need to know sortie frequency and timing,
any strength differentials, overall losses, that sort of thing, The more I can learn, the better,
Roger, You're asking a lot, but I'll do it,
Great, Think we can get it done by morning?
Mm,
If I were gonna die in five days, like hypothetically,
do you think you'd be a little nicer to me?
A kiss?
What if I asked to kiss you?
Just once,
That was a dream,
There's no way I could've said that to him!
What have I done? What have I done?
You all right in here, Chtholly?
I'm fine!
Good, You sound fine,
I bet that's a relief,
Usually after a battle, you seem to be in a lot of pain,
Well, that's because,,,
Wait, I don't feel as bad today,
Of course not!
You've got heart and spirit!
Wait, last night,
That's what he was doing,
Girls, um, do you know where he is?
Y'mean do we know where Officer Willem is?
Uh, let's see,
He's sleeping with Nephren!
Such a savage fairy weapon,
Chtholly, Good morning,
Yes, good morning,
So, you spent the whole night together,
And what were you doing?
Nothing important,
Trying to find a way for you to avoid opening the Fairy Gate,
We just didn't want you to die, that's all,
You don't understand, do you?
We have to be the ones to fight because it's the only way to take them out,
Are you positive about that?
Huh?
I'm positive we don't have a choice!
And we certainly don't need your pity!
It's good to see you're feeling better,
Wait, what?
Come with me, and get a dose of morning exercise,
Chtholly,
Do you think you're ready to give up your life in order to secure a future for the rest of these kids?
What are you asking me that for?
Think you're any good?
I'm just curious,
The leprechauns are the only creatures that can wield dug weapons, Put that down!
Don't be so sure,
There's a decent chance I can wield one better than you,
Really,,,?
Challenge accepted,
I hope you don't regret this,
But you will!
Hold on, what just happened?
Wow, is that all you've got?
You?!
Yeah?
How dare you?!
What's going on?! How'd you do that?
Listen to me, These carillons,
that is to say dug weapons,
they're powerful swords, yes, but they do not gain potency from the wielder's output of venenum,
What? You're not serious,
Oh, but I am,
These weapons use the enemy's own force against them as soon as contact is made,
The stronger the opponent, the more lethal the sword,
Think about it!
There has to be a better way to battle these beasts than what you've been doing, hasn't there?
A way with less sacrifice, with less self-destruction nonsense,
How dare you?
What could you possibly understand about us?
You fight without knowing the basics, which means you can only swing your sword with brute force,
It seems you're the one who doesn't understand,
What's your problem?!
Who do you think you are, showing up out of nowhere and acting as if you have all the answers?!
I'm the man who knows your fighting style is nowhere near good enough to win,
I won't accept this!
I can't accept it!
Everything we've done has not been a mistake!
Will you, listen to me?!
No!
I can explain to you how the dug weapons are actually meant to work!
He's wrong!
I want you to learn the proper way to fight, and to wield Seniorious!
He's lying!
You don't have to die,
None of you have to die,
But, we do,,,
Your movements are sharp,
I like your instincts, too,
And your venenum flow is pretty special,
This is a relief,
You're plenty strong,
What's more, you will be able to get stronger,
That being said,,,
Come back alive or else I'll, I dunno, something,,,
Uh?
What's wrong with him?
Just to confirm,
In three days at exactly eight o'clock,
we will dispatch three of our wielders,
along with their individual dug weapons, from the port at Island Sixty-Eight,
The fairy that wields Seniorious will be in attendance with the understanding that,,,
That during this operation,
it will be her responsibility to open the Fairy Gate,
Yes, we are confirmed,
Why must it always be one of our girls to make the sacrifice?
They die before ever getting the chance to experience what life truly has to offer,
I hate this! I hate it!
Why does it have to be this way?!
Sorry to be a bother,
You should be, Why didn't you knock?
It's an emergency,
A bad one, Willem's going to die!
You managed to defeat me?
Your strength is impressive, even for a human,
However, you must know all those spells you cast will return to torment you as curses,
I shall now slumber for a century,
Sadly, I've not been blessed with enough time to watch you expire,
Go, then, demon,
Enjoy your sleep,
Let me die in peace,
As you wish, human brave,
Farewell,
I've always known I would be fated to this end,
May it not be in vain,
Lillia, I'm sorry,
Souwong, please forgive me,
I leave the rest to you, now,
Almaria, I truly am sorry,
A dream,
Yes, and a nightmare by the looks of it,
What happened to you?
Your bones are all broken,
and your organs are barely functional,
In fact, your muscles are so frail, I could have easily bitten them off,
Not as satisfying as you'd hoped?
This isn't a joke, I'm seriously worried!
I don't know what happened, but how can you live in this state?
I call them my battle scars,
From before we ever met?
Yes, It wasn't very easy being me,
Try to get some rest,
And no getting out of bed, mister,
Now this story happened a long time ago,
In those days, I was on the surface helping a group of salvagers find anything to sell,
While exploring one day, we came across what appeared to be a frozen underground lake,
That's where we found him, frozen in ice,
Our investigation revealed that he'd been placed under a petrification curse,
We decided it would be best to take him back to the sky islands with us,
When he woke up, he was in a panic,
It didn't help that we couldn't communicate with each other,
But, thankfully, he was wearing a babel talisman,
That's what eventually solved our communication dilemma,
Without it, we may never have learned who he really was,
The human race had alienated all the other races and were forced to fight alone,
They had been wiped out, along with the rest of surface life,
But as luck would have it,
the wretched race we call emnetwihts had one survivor,
Willem Kmetsch,
I know how this must make you feel,
I just don't want it to make you fear him,
I don't want you to hate him, either,
Girls, please, y--
Wait for me!
Huh?
Ooh Ooh! Willem!
What's this I hear about you being wiped out?
This is fascinating, emnetwihts aren't really all that different from us,
Very intriguing,
Tell me all about your people, and leave nothing out!
Willem, I,,,
Well, don't take this the wrong way,
But, you should cheer up!
Already cheer,
I'm so hungry,
Please, wait!
What am I gonna do with them? Silly girls,
Ah! Well, that sure made things quieter,
And you better keep it down, too, I wasn't kidding, I am hungry,
Oh, no, don't you worry,
All I wanted is to ask that half-dead man who's apparently the last living emnetwiht a question,
Go ahead, What is it?
Well, I'm wondering why a great emnetwiht,
why you would go so far for us,
You risked your life for basically no reason,
I mean,,,
That's totally disgusting,
Right, I guess so?
Isn't it only natural to wanna be nice to cute kids, though?
Especially if they're girls?
Cute is relative, and we're all girls here, gender should have nothing to do with whether or not you're kind,
I didn't mean to offend, it's my opinion,
I just think girls are cuter,
It reflects the way they want to be loved,
They adorably wish to be adored,
Boys are cute too, just in a smellier way,
And adorable applies to us?
Come on, as a race, you're generally all born in this form, right?
Can't be this cute for nothing,
So you're telling me everyone in my race is really desperate for attention?
How funny, this coming from someone who's practically obsessed with little girls,
Oh! Of course! I get it!
No, I don't think you do!
You walked right into that one!
Chtholly,,,?
There's just no way,
I refuse to believe he's right,
It seems you're the one who doesn't understand,
I'm the man who knows your fighting style is nowhere near good enough to win,
It's all yours, now,
All right, I'm off!
I was so scared,
Terrified,
It took what seemed like an eternity to resign myself to my fate,
I don't want to go back,
I'm sorry to arrive without notice,
It's nothing,
Proud warriors will always have a safe place here with us, should they need to escape their winds,
That's good to know,
Thank you, Officer Limeskin,
Bitter,,,
Do you want to talk about it?
I don't think so,
Besides, it's probably too late to say I'm afraid of dying, isn't it?
Technical Officer Willem showed me a new fighting style, different from anything I've ever seen,
And I can't,,,
I can't accept what he says!
Because that would mean that the older fairies all died in vain!
I can't,,,
It struck fear in you?
Seems so,,,
I see! Of course,
Don't be concerned, that man is simply trying to fight the wind that blows within you,
The wind?
I've heard some warriors refer to their wind as their resolve,
But I suppose resignation is an acceptable equivalent, too,
Do you think my doubts mean I lack a warrior's resolve?
I don't,
Resignation does not have to mean you lack anything, Chtholly,
No matter the word, you've cast aside what others consider precious in order to achieve a goal,
You're a warrior, and all warriors have wind in their hearts,
On their aimless path, it gives them some direction,
Once the battle ends, their souls remain pure and are able to find the rest they so deserve,
Thanks, Officer,
But, I um,,,
I didn't understand any of that,
Is that so?
Can I,,,
I'd like to make a confession, even if it gets me in trouble,
The thing is,,,
Well, I've never actually wanted to be a warrior,
You're looking good, Seniorious,
Way to hang in there,
Ooh, The runaway girl hath returned,
I just went out for a stroll,
What are you doing?
A little maintenance on your partner,
Did it cross your mind to ask the wielder for permission first?
A beautiful performance,
Heh, Performance, huh?
I've never seen these lights, What are they?
These are shining talismans,
It's how carillons are made,
Various shining talismans join together and form the shape of a sword,
Huh,
Then all these lights, they're from wishes people have made, aren't they?
The talisman that you flicked just then?
It was created to help you avoid burning your tongue on a hot beverage,
Uh?
The one next to it let's you know which way is north, even if you're in a place that you've never been before,
And the lights there directly above it can prevent nightmares when you have a cold,
One can help you imitate cat meows--
This is Seniorious, It's a legendary weapon, right?
Apparently, when you connect different talismans using magic,
it causes a complex reaction that gives them entirely new and captivating effects like this,
I guess I thought since it's a legendary holy sword that it would have a more extraordinary origin,
Sorry to disappoint,
So, I spoke with First-Grade Officer Limeskin,
He said he would leave it up to me,
that I can make my own decision,
I don't have to open the Fairy Gate if I don't want to,
He'd stake the island's fate on it,
He trusts my potential as well as resolve,
That's wonderful,
So I can grow stronger, and you really believe that?
I don't just believe it, I can make it happen,
All right, I'll take you up on it, but first,,,
Yes, what?
You might wanna know,
I actually don't want to be strong!
No, that's not how it should go, You're supposed to notice my affection and accept my offer while crying,
Heh! Sorry, but I'm being as accepting as I can,
Because you can't take a hint,
Stupid,
Fine then, if you manage to come back alive,
I'll grant you one wish, anything you want,
Wait, you can't ask me to marry you or that kind of crap,
But you said anything!
You have to pick something that's grounded in reality,
Sweets,
Uh?
The other day you made sweets for the little ones, remember?
That's what I want,
Can you make butter cake, maybe?
I'll feed you so much of that cake,
you're bound to get heartburn,
A girl I used to know, an older fairy,
whenever she returned from a battle she'd devour butter cake like her life genuinely depended on it,
But they don't offer it on the menu in the mess hall anymore,
I've never been able to imitate her,
That's what I want,
Please,
Of all the bizarre things,,,
Willem?
Don't worry, I'm fine,
And you're on,
I'll feed you enough to give you heartburn,
It's a deal,
Now, you just have to come back alive,
You got it,
What's goin' on?
You didn't want to meet me all the way here for lunch for no reason,
I tuned their swords as much as I could,
and I taught them everything I know, They should be ready,
Well, then, why aren't you out there seeing them off?
I don't know why, but it's not like it's going to improve their chances of victory,
Hey, You never know,
A heart full of faith could make way for a mysterious power!
No, it won't,
We all wish it could, but it won't,
My friend, you are far too cynical,
All right, It looks like we're off!
Oh, yeah,
Do you know any shops that sell butter and flour?
Not too pricey,
