"Where the hell did she go?" "Doesn't look like he's ready to get up yet." "That's our research sample!" "If you take it, you'll be recognized as a devil, and you will suffer God's punishment!" "Devil, huh?" "I guess I wouldn't want to wake up, either." "It'd be much nicer to stay in a dream." "Watch out!" "That hurt!" "What the hell was that for?" "!" "That was close." "Any longer, and your perversion would have rubbed off on that boy." "Rubbed off?" "!" "So, what's your plan?" "For what?" "Isn't it obvious?" "The child you abandoned has come all this way for your support." "How do you intend to take responsibility as a father?" "Don't make up people's life stories!" "You're being chased by Runa soldiers, too!" "If you skulk around too much..." "There." "I happened upon this." "It was sitting by the side of the road, and I took it." " Care for a lift?" " Happened upon it?" "By the side of the road?" "It was sitting?" "!" "You clearly stole it from some nobles!" "It doesn't matter!" "Put the boy inside." "Hurry, or your perversion will rub off on him." "Knock that off!" "You're right, though." "I can't carry him all the way to the town of Regit." "So you went looking for a carriage?" "You're surprisingly considerate." "Now, Silver!" "Ah!" "I haven't..." "Hey!" "Ferris?" "!" "Hi-ho, Silver!" "Run at full speed, and flee that troublesome perverted man!" "Hey, hold on!" "Come on!" "Are you seriously leaving me in the dust?" "!" "If you don't want to get left behind, then run!" "Run!" "You little..." "Cut the crap!" "Wait up, damn you!" "Enter." "I brought lunch." "Thank you." "Set it right there." "Please take a moment from work to eat it before it grows cold." "Once I take care of this mountain of documents, I'll help myself." "I understand that, but..." "Ah." "Here's a document from Claugh Klom, Field Marshal of the Roland Empire." "You stuck me with this boring-ass job!" "I'm gonna kill you, Sion, you hear me?" "!" "I'm coming for you!" "These are all documents submitted from those recently appointed to high posts." "I heard that most of them are commoners." "I wasn't exactly going out of my way to exclude nobles." "It had nothing to do with birth." "It's simply the result of making selections based on actual ability." "Those people have offered this many proposals in just the past few days." "To build a better country..." "To build a better life, this country is trying to make a fresh start." "If that is so, it is all the more reason Your Majesty should consider his own health." "Please, have it all." "I suppose I will." "Then, if you will excuse me." "Trying to make a fresh start, hm?" "But..." "It's too quiet." "Will matters really end this way?" "Enter." "Was something the matter?" "I've received notification that in the Arkmel region, there is growing unrest among the nobles." "Arkmel." "House Froaude's territory." "I see." "I should have known it would begin in Arkmel." "Father." "Ah, Miran." "The guests are all gathered." "Is that so?" "I'm quite impressed." "One word from you, and renowned figures from all across the nation gather in one hall." "Don't be silly." "If not for your efforts, this wouldn't have gone nearly so smoothly." "Not at all." "My power is far from a match for yours, Father." "You are my pride and joy, my son." "Ever raised with beauty and wisdom." "You're always the best." "Yes, the best..." "I, too, consider it an honor to have been made your son, Father." "Yes, yes..." "Let us save the enjoyment for later." "The guests await." "Thank you for your patience." "My thanks to you all for your patronage." "The organizers of tonight's banquet are Duke Stearied, standing right there, and my father, Karlal Froaude." "Ladies and gentlemen, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for your kind response to our invitation." "And I'm certain all of you wise people are already aware of why we are gathered here today." "It's to teach that upstart brat, Sion Astal, a lesson!" "Yes!" "How dare he slight us, the nobility?" "!" "Have that man dethroned!" "Indeed!" "Now is the time for us to make our stand." "Royal lineage or not, he will never be more than the child of a lowborn dog." "If we leave someone like that in charge, this country will be doomed!" "Before that happens, we must crush him." "The arrangements are in order." "We will join with the Runa Empire, which was friendly with the prior king, and have Astal removed." "Miran came up with the plan, and he shall share the details." "What's wrong, Miran?" "First, there is something that I would like all of those gathered here to do." "Die, please." "What is the meaning of this?" "!" "Miran!" "What on earth?" "Let there be darkness!" "What is the meaning of this, Miran?" "You wouldn't..." "Even me?" "I have long awaited this day, with eager anticipation." "Ever since I came to you." "From the very beginning, I have always had a place I must reach." "You are little more than a pawn I used for that purpose." "U-Used?" "You lie!" "When I first met you, you were only five years old!" "At that time, the head of House Froaude was your elder brother." "But that brother and other family members all perished, one after the other." "In unforeseen accidents." "And you gained all of House Froaude." "You mean..." "You killed them?" "The entire family?" "Not yet." "You still remain." "W-Wait, Miran!" "I have grown tired of hearing that voice of yours." "Farewell, Father." "Stop!" "My gratitude for your cooperation, Duke Stearied." "Thanks to you, I was able to make a clean sweep of all elements of unrest." "Please remember this." "If you betray me..." "I would never betray you!" "Fighting against you?" "I will never, ever defy y..." "What was that?" "You escaped my shadow and survived." "Who on earth might you be?" "The fact that I'm here obviously means that I'm a Roland noble..." "You jest." "That peach-colored hair..." "There is no one with hair that color here in the south of the continent." "I see!" "You seem to be a pretty sharp man." "What country might you hail from?" "Do I look like the kind of man who would answer when asked that?" "I would like for you to answer me." "Sorry, but I have one more job left to do." "I didn't want to use much power in a place like this, but I guess I can't have it that way." " Darkness..." " Lightning Beasts!" " Come forth!" " Come forth!" "As I thought." "You carry a weapon similar to mine." "Ah, I don't want to fight you after all!" "This is the first time I've met someone who responded so passively when they saw these Lightning Beasts." "Nonetheless, I am highly surprised." "Your very existence is beyond my predictions." "And you even killed Duke Stearied." "Which, in turn, would mean that someone was behind the duke, manipulating him." "Someone connected to your country, who is here in Roland, if I am not mistaken?" "Guess I should've just gotten out while the getting was good." "But while I'm here, I'll be taking your ring!" "What I seek is the burning field!" "Aw, hell!" "Lightning Beasts!" "Equal level of power, huh?" "!" "Doesn't look like we'll be able to settle much like this!" "No, you must realize it by now." "You cannot use magic right now." "After all, if you did, it would reveal what country you were from." "If the power of the rings is equal, then I, the one who can use magic, have the advantage." " Besides which..." " You're still talking?" "Every door in this hall is sealed shut." "You would have to use these Lightning Beasts or whatever you call them to escape." "However, the moment you turn one beast towards a door, my beasts would devour your throat." "You don't have many friends, do you?" "I get that a lot." "So, what will you do?" "Will you give in?" "Will you try to flee, knowing that you will be killed?" "I'll pass on both choices." "I've got one more option." "An lino Doue crystal!" "With this, I win!" "This is..." "By directing shadows at the doors, my rear protection grows weaker." "I've underestimated you." "To think that I would meet my end in a place like this..." "Get down!" "Field Marshal Klom?" "Let's go!" "Why are you here?" "We'll talk later!" "Let there be darkness!" "Field Marshal Klom, my shadows will not hold for much longer." "Leave this to me!" "It seems we're safe." "So, why are you here, Field Marshal Klom?" "I came on orders from Sion, obviously!" "It's not like I wanted to come." "His Majesty?" "But why would you come alone, given your Field Marshal position?" "Of course I brought soldiers with me." "Sion said there could be reprisals, and that it'd be dangerous to go alone." "But..." "Going off and doing your own thing in secret?" "When I think of your face, it makes me want to punch it!" "I just came alone ahead of the others." "How odd." "You just said that you didn't wish to come here." "Yet, you even left soldiers behind to..." "I told you, I wanted to punch your face in, so I rushed it!" "And you rescued me without even hitting me." "You're a difficult man to comprehend, you know." "Quite an odd one." "I don't want to hear that from you!" "You have my gratitude nonetheless." "I would have certainly been dead, the way things were going." "You saved me." "What was that blue flame?" "What the hell's going on?" "I do not know." "However it seems that our war has already begun." "Field Marshal Klom and Lieutenant General Froaude are currently headed for the castle." "Good work." "You may leave." "Sir!" "It won't work." "My, what an interesting attack." "Beasts of lightning, hm?" "But interesting is all it is." "Before me, nothing will work." "But if you still seek to make a move on this country's king you will end up disappearing." "Feel free to tell your companions as well what happens to those who raise a hand against Roland." "His presence has vanished." "He seems to have fled." "Should we have captured him?" "That is for you to decide." "If you wish it, I can still go capture him." "No, leave it at that." "Yes, you're still fine." "You still haven't broken." "An era of upheaval is coming, is it not?" "But with you as king, I believe that our country can survive it." "And if I cannot protect this kingdom?" "I will kill you and crown a new, more competent king." "So until that point, you may do as you please." "As I please, hm?" "Something has begun to happen." "Something..." "The sword family, huh?" "Yeesh, this country's nothing but a bunch of veritable monsters." "I screwed up my job, too." "W-Who are you two?" "Didn't I tell you?" "We're goodwill ambassadors." "You know, our king told us to join hands with the Runa Empire." "You won't say no, right?" "Our Runa Empire is already allied with Roland!" "You conspired with the nobles of Roland, to overthrow the current king of Roland, didn't you?" "But your contact, Duke Stearied, has been killed by our companion." "Which means that you can't count on Roland any longer." "Now then, I'll ask you once more, Your Majesty." "Would you join hands with us?" "With the Gastark Empire?" "Well, I'll give you some time to think it over." "We have other work to do." "We'll be looking forward to your response." "So, Kuu." "Where were we headed next?" "You forgot?" "!" "For crying out loud!" "That's why I can't get separated from you, Brother Sui!" "It's about time you stood on your own!" "S-Sorry, Kuu." "Okay, remember on your own!" "Do it in five seconds!" " Five." "Four." " Er, uh, um..." " Three." "Two." " It was some village, right?" "The town of Regit!" "We're going to find a kid with an Alpha Stigma!" "Geez, they don't know when to quit!" "Hurry, they're catching up." "You seriously pricked me just now!" "Come, dance!" "Keep dancing the sinner's dance!" "You little..." "You devil!" "Do you think a monster can flee in the face of our God?" "!" "What god?" "That's such crap." "I implore our God who dwells in Heaven to bestow upon thy pitiful servants a blade of ice to destroy demons!" "I offer up this contract, to unleash the magic beast of light which dances through the skies!" "What?" "!" "Yo!" "How's Arua?" "Still asleep." "Are you really returning to the town of Regit?" "Yeah." "We'd better take that Kuku girl with us, too." "Take her with us?" "As long as they're in that town, Arua and that girl won't be happy." "We should take them someplace where they can live quietly in peace." "We've got more pursuers." "Quit slacking." "Come." "Dance, dance, dance!" "Hey!" "Quit it!" "Come on!" "Who... said I had to..." "That hurts!" "Is entry inspection very complicated?" "Stohl troops supposedly get treated well." "That's because they're warring with Gastark." "I hear that Gastark country is strong." "Fool!" "There's no way Imperial Stohl would lose to a puny country like that!" "Roland..." "Cassla..." "Estolia..." "Stohl..." "Next!" "Coming!"
