Intro [PartA]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a translation guide for Blaze Union. It will include the entire story,
and pretty much all the extra contents. Currently the guide covers through the
first ending some character quotes, and some items.

I would like to inform everyone that I am still learning Japanese, so the
translations of some lines may not be entirely correct. If you think that I
translated something incorrectly send me an email at [email protected] telling
me why and or how you think it should be.

I have also 'translated' some of the English lines, such as the ones you get
after completing an objective, and am using my own romanizations for some of
the names. I find some of them pretty bad, and since I was changing those, I
decided that I may as well improve the others I found bad. I will, of course,
provide the original romanization for the things that have romanizations extras
section as these are merely my own opinion.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walkthrough [PartB]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
The walkthrough section will include, in order:
Title
01. Intro
02. Story before the battle
03. Story during the battle
04. Story after the battle
05. What the characters say when you put them next to a boss
06. Locations
07. Items and towns
08. Loss screens

If you want to jump to a specific map, use Ctrl+F, and type Map# in []. If you
want to jump to a specific section of the map type Map#.## in []. As an
example, for the first map type Map1, for the first maps losses type Map1.08.

Often there are several parts of mid-battle story in the game. You can only
search for the first one, but they should all be there on order separated by
line breaks.

The loss screens are often repetitive: the line character says is the same no
matter the map number , and the actual loss screen is written as '(what the
battle was about), (consequence based on loss condition)'. I've shortened it so
that it would be less repetitive, so while I'm not listing all the loss
conditions for each map, you're not actually missing anything.

The locations are done the order you'd get them when pressing the R button (the
chapter 3 and 5 maps are actually also this way, some are just unavailable at
the start of the chapter).

The items and towns are done in columns from top to bottom, going from left to
right.

義賊団参上！
Appearance of the Virtuous Outlaws!
Tiera, Western Nesar District

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map1.01]
The Bronquian Empire......
Having gained power through a contract with the demon dragon Bronga, its
emperors rule the country through military might.

Bronquia's current emperor, Soltier, having succeeded his younger brother,
began imposing heavy taxes and rapidly amassing military strength.

Emperor Soltier's misgovernment caused tremendous distress among the people.
Public order deteriorated, and sparks of rebellion, crime and corruption spread
throughout the country.
In the hands of this unreasonable tyrant, the peace people once enjoyed was
cruelly destroyed.

Located in the western part of the Empire is the trade city Tiera.
The city, split between those who built a fortune exploiting others and those
struggling in poverty, serves as a symbol of what the empire had become.

It is in one corner of Tiera, a place where the oppressed live, huddled close
together, the Nesar district, that the curtain rises on our story.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map1.02]
Well-built Merchant:
Hmm. This sure is troubling.
It's past the payment date, yet you've no intention to return the money you owe
me...

Young Man:
It's not that I don't want to; please, just give me another three, no, two more
days!

Well-built Merchant:
It's past the payment date! You there, bring out anything that that looks
valuable!!

Merchant's Guard:
Got it, master Nolan.

Young Man:
P- Please! Have mercy!!

Merchant's Guard:
Boss! I found this girl inside.

Young, Red-haired Girl:
No! Let go!! Help, mister, save me!

Young Man:
..............

Nolan:
Perhaps this could pay off your debt? If I were to sell her in town......

Young, Red-haired Girl:
This has nothing to do with me! I don't live here!

Nolan:
I see, that is quite unfortunate. Hey, bring her along!

Young, Red-haired Girl:
Let me go! No! Nooo!!

Merchant's Guard:
Guaa!

Nolan:
W- what? An arrow? W-who's there!?

Girl with Golden Hair:
Stop right there, Nolan.
Garlot, is the little girl okay?

Garlot:
She's fine, Shiskia. Now we can fight as fiercely as we want.

Shiskia:
Get ready, Nolan! You corrupt merchant!!

Nolan:
Garlot..., Shiskia? Could it be, you two are from the Blazing Outlaws group...

Garlot:
You got that right.

Nolan:
Hahahahaha!

Shiskia:
Gee, Nolan, was being cornered a bit much for your mind to take?

Nolan:
No, no. It's just that when I think of how lucky I've gotten, I can't stop
laughing...
Hehehe. If I were to defeat this hypocritical Blazing Outlaws group that
threatens us kind merchants,
I would become even more famous.
I'll beat you at your own game!

Garlot:
I'll bring you to your knees for saying that.

/--Victory--------------

Garlot:
Let's go, Shiskia! If you don't hurry, you'll get left behind.

Shiskia:
You don't have to tell me! And you too, don't let your guard down!!

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map1.03]
Nolan:
They're just bandits, why have you not beaten them yet!
I am paying you lot a lot of money! Now, hurry up and defeat them!

with you anymore!

-----------------------------------------------------
Shiskia:
That takes care of everyone.

Garlot:
No, not yet. Nolan got away.

Shiskia:
Yeah, but...

Garlot:
We've chased him for half a year already, and we've finally cornered him.
We will make him pay...
Let's go, Shiskia. At our pace, we'll catch him before he reaches the nobleman
district.

Shiskia:
Hang on, what about Jenon?

Garlot:
Don't worry about him. I'm sure that when he sees where we're going, he'll
figure out what to do next.

Shiskia:
I guess it's true that bad guys can run really fast. I don't see Nolan
anywhere.

Garlot:
Hm? Hang on, Shiskia, did you hear that?

Shiskia:
You mean the person following us? Wait, did you just notice that?

Garlot:
.....I noticed some time ago, they just didn't seem threatening.

Shiskia:
Ah, this again!

Garlot:
Hey, you there! Get out here, and don't make any sudden movements!
If you do we'll kill you before you can make a sound!

???:
Wait, don't hurt me!

Young, Red-haired Girl:
I only wanted to thank you guys for saving me...

Shiskia:
Ah, you're the young lady from before.

Young, Red-haired Girl:
It's not 'young lady,' my name's Amy.

Shiskia:
I see, Amy. You know, there are some bad guys nearby, so you should hurry home,
okay?

Amy:
I don't have a home so I can't.

Shiskia:
What about that man you were with, isn't he your dad?

Amy:
No, he was just someone who helps out travelers.
'Cause, you know, I'm on a journey to find my big brother.

Garlot:
Hey, pipsqueak! Go find somewhere to hide, right now!

Amy:
Eh? Eh!? Pipsqueak? You mean me?

|-Unexpected Enemies!-|

Garlot:
I can hear the footsteps of a few light units. They've got to be Nolan's
soldiers.

Shiskia:
They're probably here to buy time...
But they took a while to try and stop us. Think this might be some sort of
trap?

Garlot:
Does it matter? I plan to break through anyway.

|-Help has Arrived.-|

Freckled Girl:
Hello everyone, attention please.
Knowing the basics of battle is a surefire way to victory. And a basic way of
winning is a pincer attack.
And look! Cerica and her gang have snuck around behind you unnoticed.

Cerica:
The reward money for beating you guys ought to buy a lovely dinner. Just
thinking about it makes Cerica feel faint.

Shiskia:
This is supposed to be a pincer attack? They're kinda far away...

Garlot:
If the employer's an idiot, I suppose the rest of the unit would be as well.
Besides, if they're just gonna mess around like that, I'll finish them off no
problem!

Shiskia:
Hang on, Garlot! While they are obviously stupid, they still use axes.
You've got a spear so you'd be poorly matched against them. How about you just
leave them to me.

Cerica:
Hey, you scanky girl over there! Cerica is not stupid, you take that back!

Shiskia:
Really! Who talks in third person; it sounds dumb!

Cerica:
What's this, what's this, is someone jealous? Well, whatever, Cerica will get
you first then.

-----------------------------------------------------
Cerica:
Ow! What's that for!
Ah, enough, enough. Cerica got hurt, so Cerica's heading home for today!
But don't forget! Next time you'll pay for treating Cerica like an idiot!

Garlot:
What's wrong with her? She was a mess.

Shiskia:
Yea, but they bought Nolan a lot of time. Let's hurry!

-----------------------------------------------------
Shiskia:
Amy, it's okay to come out now.
But this neighborhood is kinda dangerous, understand?
How about you go back to that nice man's house for now?

Amy:
Okay, I got it... I'll go do that.

Shiskia:
And good luck on finding your brother.

Amy:
Yup, thanks.

Garlot:
But they caught me off guard attacking us here.

Shiskia:
Well, we got lucky that they were idiots.
But Nolan's had a lot of time now.
They must have set something up up ahead...

Garlot:
Don't worry so much, Shiskia. Whatever is up ahead, as long as we can beat them
none of it matters.

Shiskia:
You shouldn't take them so lightly, Garlot. It can get you in big trouble.

Garlot:
There's got nothing we can't break through...
Let's hurry Shiskia. We've got to catch up to Nolan!

Dark-Skinned Warrior:
Blazing Outlaws, huh... There are people with some interesting ideas.
But as fighters they're still pretty green...
Well, since I'm already here, I may as well watch them for a while longer.

| Could we make this quick? I don't have time to spend with you idiots.

| If you say you're sorry Cerica will let you join her gang.
|
| Garlot:
| Will you stop joking around!

| Ehehe, I went too easy on you.

| Aah, you really are jealous of Cerica's beauty.

Nolan:
Ah, here you are. The young lady and gentleman of the Blazing Outlaws. I was
getting tired of waiting.
Thank you for giving me more than enough time to set up a warm reception for
you.

Garlot:
Looks like we've got no choice. Shiskia, let's go greet them.

Shiskia:
W-what? You mean to fight with these odds?

Garlot:
These guys are nothing but numbers. I doubt they're any stronger than the
others.

Shiskia:
No way, Garlot! We should wait until Jenon gets here.

Garlot:
And you think they'll just let us wait around? Either we take them, or they'll
take us!

David, time for you to earn the money I'm paying you.

David:
I got it. But, you sure about this, boss? They're just kids.

Nolan:
They may not look like it, but they are the Blazing Outlaws group. You'd best
not take them lightly.

David:
Oho? I've heard of them recently...... In that case I see no reason to hold
back.

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map3.03]
David:
Alright then... It's been a while since I've had some fun.

-----------------------------------------------------
Nolan:
Ku ku ku, despicable lowborn thieves! Accept your punishment for angering me!

Garlot:
The one who should be punished is you! Give back the money you've taken from
everyone!

Nolan:
What? Are you saying that exploiting peasants is a crime to be punished for?
Things such as exploiting and being exploited are merely part of nature's food
chain; they are roles set by god.
If you hate being exploited so much, you should just join the other side.
That's all I'm saying.

???:
Oh, in that case things should be fine if all the exploiters are defeated.
That's what we've decided.

Nolan:
Mmn? Who's there!

You're late, Jenon! And what's with the self important attitude!

Jenon:
I don't think that someone who does nothing but recklessly charge in has any
room to talk.
Besides, girls love a guy that arrives in the nick of time.

Garlot:
Unfortunately for you there aren't any girls here. You're wasting your time.

Jenon:
I see, that's a shame...

Shiskia:
Hey! I'm a girl! What about me!

Garlot:
Anyways, Jenon, save your jokes for later. There are still quite a few of them
left!

Jenon:
I see.
In that case, Garlot, Shiskia, let us fight using unions.
In cases where there are so many enemy soldiers, fighting individually will
only drain both our time and energy.

Garlot:
I see, unions, huh...... Alright then, let's do it!

-----------------------------------------------------
David:
I see, the rumors of your strength are true... I can see why Cerica had such
trouble.
In that case, I'm not prepared to fight you guys now.
Well, so long as I'm alive I can always try again, so I'll pull out for now.

Nolan:
David! What's this about you running away! Do the job I'm paying you for!

David:
Boss, how rude. I've already worked the amount you paid me for, make no
mistake.
Well then, boss, stay well!

H- hey, enough, I'll change, I'm sorry... Th- that's right, money, I'll pay you
money!

Garlot:
Who'd forgive you! You'll change, huh, how dare you lie to us so easily.

Jenon:
Wait, Garlot. Maybe we should let him go.

Nolan:
Ah, someone reasonable! Ah, looking closely, you're a very handsome man!

Garlot:
What gives, Jenon, what do you mean let him go!

Jenon:
I'm not saying to do it just like that. But perhaps we can be lenient if he
were to return everything he stole.

Shiskia:
I see, like a ransom.

Jenon:
Exactly. We should talk with those guys that fled as soon as possible.

Nolan:
Return all of it! That's impossible! Damn it, I changed my mind, you're not
good looking after all!

Jenon:
Perhaps you've not considered the position you've been left with, Mr. Nolan.
If you disagree, I suppose we'll just take your life instead.

Nolan:
H- hey, wait a minute, I got it. I'll pay. I'll pay whatever you'd like...

Garlot:
No way, the moment we let him go he'll just go back to his old ways.

Nolan:
I- I'll change, I promise! I won't do anything bad ever again.
Y- yes, I'll even put it in writing! Yes, isn't that a good idea.

Garlot:
And you'll pay 3000 pieces of gold.

Nolan:
3000!? T- that's...

Garlot:
Well? That money's been gotten through foul means, right.

Jenon:
Yes, it might have made little girls cry.

Shiskia:
Garlot's right. Don't give up, Nolan, just think of it as interest!
And this will set a good example! When people start talking about this, the
other merchants will get scared of us and abandon their evil ways.

Jenon:
Unfortunately the villains who prey on the weak are as numerous as the stars.
And examples like this and their own bad reputations have not been enough to
change anything so far.
Anyways, we should start our negotiations, don't you think?

Garlot:
Right. I'll leave it to you.
(Not enough to change anything, huh?
If I think about it calmly, that is true...
But will changing things little by little like we've been doing really work?
No, it doesn't look that way at all.
What do we have to do to fix this messed up world...)

--Garlot vs. David
| Garlot:
| You! You're one of Nolan's lackeys!
|
| David:
| Hey now, don't misunderstand me. I'm merely a laborer trying to put food on

|
| Garlot:
| That doesn't change that you're working for him! I'll clear you all out
| together!
|
|---VICTORY
| Garlot:
| See this!! This is our power!
|
| David:
| Hey, not bad there, kid. Good job.

| Garlot:
| Tch, stop making fun of me...!

| Garlot:
| Tch, I messed up! Still, next time...!
|
| David:
| You seem so sure of yourself. However, I hope you don't expect 'next time' to

| David:
| Don't take grownups lightly, brat!
|
| Shiskia:
| Don't call me that! And don't get cocky just because you won one round!

--Jenon vs. David--------------------------------------
| David:
| Such young and spirited brats, playing a game of virtuous outlaws! Youth sure
| is nice...
|
| Jenon:
| If you think we're just playing, you won't mind leaving, right old man!
|
| David:
| Sorry, but I've got a job to do. I can't just pull out whenever I want.
|
|---VICTORY
| David:
| Not bad, swordsman. You've got some talent there.
|
| Jenon:
| You are quite skilled as well!
|
| David:
| Heh, if you want to be respectful, go ahead.

Shiskia:
It's past time, they're late......

Garlot:
Nolan, it looks like you've been abandoned.
Oh well, we'll hang him up on the castle walls as an example.

Nolan:
Ghiii! Wait, please! They'll come, David will definitely come!!

Jenon:
Garlot, let's wait a little longer. No matter how evil someone may be, that
should be our last resort.

Shiskia:
Garlot, Jenon! They're here.

|-----------------|
| SORTIE |
|-Follow my Lead!-|

David:
Yo, if it isn't the ambitious youths, we meet again! Now then, is our employer
safe?

Garlot:
As you can see, he's just fine. Though if you had been a little later I
couldn't say the same.

Nolan:
David! Hurry up and give them the money!

Jenon:
As was written in the letter, the terms of his release are all the things he's
stolen and 3000 gold pieces.

Garlot:
And then all of you have to confess to your crimes and reform. And you have to
swear to do so in writing.

David:
I see you're still sticking with that nonsense from last time. That's fine, but
I've got nothing for you.

Garlot:
What do you mean by that?

David:
Really, think about my situation for a minute.
If we give you guys our boss's fortune, when are we gonna get paid?

Jenon:
.....Then you mean to break your promise?

David:
I don't remember promising anything. This was all decided without us.

Jenon:
We won't release Nolan.

David:
In all honesty, I'm quite grateful for that.

Nolan:
What? What are you saying, David! Save me, that's an order!

David:
Sorry, boss. Honestly, we thought you had died already, so we helped ourselves
to some of your fortune.
Hey, do it......

Mercenary:
Yes sir.

Nolan:
Ugaaaaaaaa!

David:
Aaah, our boss, master Nolan was killed in an ambush by the Blazing Outlaws.

Nolan:

David:
Rest easy, boss. With this money you paid us, we will show these villains your
revenge.

|-One Mere Common Death.-|

Nolan:
Gh, ughaa......

Garlot:
H- hey, Nolan!

Shiskia:
No way! I don't believe this!!

David:
Hey now, what's this...... We just killed a horrible person. You guys should be
thanking us.

Jenon:
What! Are you saying we should just accept this senseless cruelty...?

Garlot:
No way, Jenon. This is unforgivable. We'll defeat these guys.

David:
Oh, the allies of justice have appeared. Aah, youth really is nice.
Alright, come on. I'll show you what the world is really like.

Shiskia:
Why can't grownups ever think about anyone but themselves......

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map4.03]
David:
You guys really are quite talented. You've got a bright future ahead of you.
So, how about we all just call this off, so that you can keep that future.

Garlot:
What happened to defeating the villains who murdered Nolan?

David:
Don't misunderstand me, as a rule, I always finish my work, but I've taken
liking to you guys.

Garlot:
You think we want someone like you to like us!!
We're fighting to put an end to all the senseless cruelty in this world!

David:
Yeah, but, with so many people to fight, don't you think you'll lose?

Shiskia:
Justice cannot be defeated!

Garlot:
That's right, even if we lose our lives, if it's for our ideals, it's okay.

David:
Ouch, wow, are you really that naive...... Tch, you guys suck.

???:
Agh, I can't watch this anymore. Once you die, that's it; you don't get to talk
about ideals ever again!

|------------------------------|
| ASSAULT |
|-An Elite Battalion Appeared!-|

David:
Huh? Who are you?

Dark-Skinned Warrior:
The name's Medoute. I'm a traveling warrior.
Unfortunately, whenever I see some nasty guy I really want to clobber them. It
may be a bit immature, but...
You guys are the Blazing Outlaws, right, I'll back you up!

-----------------------------------------------------
AFTER MEDOUTE'S FIRST ATTACK

Shiskia:
Wow... she swings that big axe like it weighs nothing!

Medoute:
Leave these guys to me! You guys focus on the enemy in front of you!

Jenon:
Tanned skin, long hair, such skill with an axe, beautiful......
Hey, Garlot! Who is she, an acquaintance of yours? Can you introduce us?

Garlot:
.....There goes Jenon's bad habit again.

-----------------After Battle---------------- [Map4.04]

Damn, we've lost considerable numbers!

Mercenary:
Commander David!

-----------------------------------------------------
Garlot:
Damn, now you run, David!! Shiskia, Jenon, quickly, after them!

Shiskia:
.....R- right.

Medoute:
Will you hold on just a minute. If you rush in without a plan, they'll just get
away again.

Garlot:
Look, I'm grateful for your help just now.
But, this fight has nothing to do with you. Don't get in our way.

Medoute:
Unbelievable... Often before now you guys could barely manage to survive.
"Justice can't lose," just what were you saying!
Because you were losing, you felt like you could say something so insincere
without concern.
But what exactly is justice?

Shiskia:
T- that's......

Medoute:
And answer me one more thing; had I not helped you, what would have happened?

Shiskia:
That's......
That's right...... most likely we'd all have been killed.

Garlot:
..............

Shiskia:
Sorry Garlot, but it really felt that way.

Jenon:
I agree with Shiskia. If it were just us, most likely......

Garlot:
I was... David, he......

Medoute:
Not forgiving the senselessness of the world. Not accepting such ideas. I
understand your feelings all too well.
However, you must have the power and wisdom to back up your will. You can
understand that.
Plainly speaking, your tactics are a mess. Up 'til now you've merely gotten
lucky.

Garlot:
I don't know about any of that...... but we have neither power nor wisdom for
that.

Medoute:
I may have over spoken a little. If I offended you I apologize.
Oh, yes, umm, you......

Jenon:
Jenon. I am called Jenon.
I am the Blazing Outlaws' behind the scenes strategist. The tactics and
planning are all my......

Medoute:
Right then, Junon...

Jenon:
It's Jenon.

Medoute:
Jenon, when they fled they said they'd be heading for the Cattle Bridge, yes?
Is the narrow road they ran down the quickest path there?

Jenon:
No, it's quite the roundabout way......

Medoute:
If I were them, I would organize the troops once I was near the bridge, and
only then cross, don't you think?
After which, if no pursuers showed up, I would relax a bit, maybe lower my
guard.

Jenon:
I see! If we hurry ahead of them, we can set up an ambush for them there.

Medoute:
This is your fight. The rest you should decide for yourselves.
However, you must not fight purely on emotion. Become stronger and smarter.

Jenon:
Amazing! Just amazing! The heavens have bestowed upon you valor, wisdom and
beauty all at once!
Ah, Lady Medoute?

Shiskia:
Smooth as always, eh, Jenon.

Jenon:
Ahaha, you think so? Anyways, what should we do, Garlot?

Shiskia:
Someone got back on track real quick!

Garlot:
I......
If I think about it, I've gotten this far just following my feelings, and then
saying that we'll manage somehow.
She's right.
I'm just frustrated...... Lend me your strength and wisdom, guys.

Shiskia:
Of course.

Jenon:
You needn't even ask, Garlot.

Shiskia:
Jenon's taking a while to get in touch with us, don't you think.

Garlot:
..............

Shiskia:
What's wrong, Garlot?

Garlot:
I've been thinking about it since back then. She, Medoute, is right. I really
am weak.
And we've just gambled through all our battles so far. That's why David was
able to get away too.
I want to get stronger. Strong enough to topple the senseless cruelty that
rules this world......

Shiskia:
Stronger, huh.
You've been saying that ever since we were little.

Garlot:
Having to rely on myself to survive, I had no choice but to get stronger if I
didn't want to forget myself.

Shiskia:
.....You're talking about your dad?

Garlot:
..............

Shiskia:
He was a horrible person. Every time we met you'd have more bruises.

Garlot:
..I wanted more power so that I wouldn't lose to his hatred.

Shiskia:
..Hey Garlot, do you remember back when we met?

Garlot:
I remember... We'd pretend to be virtuous outlaws. Only back then you were the
leader and I was a follower.

Shiskia:
Isn't it nostalgic. We'd always sneak into the nobles' district, Nibel.
Thinking about it now, catching merchants because of how evil they were really
influenced what we're doing.
It's a bit funny. Ehehe......

Garlot:
..............

Shiskia:
Garlot, you're you. I'm sure you'll get stronger.

Garlot:
Stronger, huh......

Jenon:
I've spotted David on the other side of the bridge! I get the feeling that he
and his people are all exhausted.
Hm? What's wrong, Shiskia? Your face is red.

Shiskia:
It's nothing!

Jenon:
What are you getting mad for......

Mercenary:
Today certainly didn't make any sense.

David:
It's all you guys' fault! It's because you were careless that we've been beaten
back this far.

Mercenary:
Huh? Just ours?

David:
Exactly! Tch, tonight we'll have to review your performance.

stop fighting.

Garlot:
There's no way I'd let you get away with this! Get ready, David!

Garlot:

treachery!

David:
And what's wrong with treachery? It's the dishonest who survive. If you cheat,
winning is easy!
That's the way the world works! You must understand at least that much!

Garlot:
So I'll just get stronger! And then I'll change these rules of the world!

Jenon:

Shiskia:
Well, Medoute did give us good advice.
But you know, Garlot, I don't think you're weak at all.

???:
I congratulate you on defeating David.
Watching the way you fight has taught me of your hearts and your troubles.

Garlot:
Who's there...?

Sharp Eyed Man:
I believe you called yourselves the Blazing Outlaws. Well done.
Your excellence has surpassed all that I've heard of you.

Jenon:
I recognize him. He's a nobleman from the upper class district, by the name of
count Velleman.

Shiskia:
Hmph, a noble. Alright then, your greatness, what need have you of a lowly
outlaw gang like ours?

Velleman:
There's no need for such coldness. I merely wish to talk.

Shiskia:
We're not interested in what you have to say. C'mon, let's go.

Velleman:
Then, you've no desire for strength?

Garlot:
..............

Velleman:
Was it not you who said that you wish to become strong enough to change the
world?

Garlot:
What's this......

Velleman:
I would like to hire all of you.
Work for me as my army. If you do that, you will be able to obtain all the
strength you need.

Shiskia:
W- what are you saying......

Velleman:
Stand by my side and change this world! Young lions Bronquia!

Garlot:
Change... the world.

Velleman:
That's right, the world. This world infected by senseless cruelty.
No matter how righteous your objective may be, if you can't realize it, it is
meaningless.
And if you have the power, if you are not ready to change the world, you may as
well stop calling yourselves virtuous outlaws!

Jenon:
Count Velleman, I understand what you're saying, but first we'd like to...

Garlot:
Your name was count Velleman? I'm Garlot. I'm the leader of the Blazing
Outlaws.
I'd like you to tell me some more about your offer.

Shiskia:
Really, making us meet in such a sweltering place. A noble's thoughts don't
make any sense.

Jenon:
It seemed to me that he just wants to talk somewhere where we can't be
overheard.

Garlot:
That's it, most likely......

Jenon:
By the way, Garlot, what made you want to listen to count Velleman?

Garlot:
It's what David said. About those who deceive others being the ones to survive.

Shiskia:
Ehm, he did say that, but...... wasn't that just an excuse for all the bad
things he's done?

Garlot:
I think that what he said is true.

Shiskia:
Eh? Well......

Garlot:
We can keep on defeating villains like Nolan.
But if that's all we do we'll be protecting nothing more than a section of
Tiera.

Jenon:
We can't protect any other town much less the whole country. Is that what you
mean?

Garlot:
If you don't sever the source of a stench, it won't disappear.
If we can't change the world, then our justice is nothing more than a lie.

Shiskia:
And to do that you want power from that nobleman?

Garlot:
Yeah.
Sorry guys. I acted before hearing your thoughts......

Jenon:
On the topic of count Velleman, I checked up on him a little, and he sure is a
strange one.
He fashions himself as a reformist, and has been steadily gaining power. He's
got quite a few enemies among the old nobility.
He's not necessarily lying when he says he wants to change the world.

Shiskia:
Sorry, Garlot. I don't have a good opinion of nobles, so I got a little
emotional......
But if you want to do this I'll support you. We'll do it together, Garlot.

Jenon:
Yeah, I'll lend you my strength as well. And wisdom, of course.

Garlot:
Thanks, you two.

Velleman:
Sorry to keep you waiting, ladies and gentlemen of the Blazing Outlaws.

Garlot:
If we could get straight to the point, can you tell us more about making us
your army?

Velleman:
I would have preferred to take more time, however it seems we must keep this
short.
We have uninvited guests.

Garlot:
What?

What is this, why can't Cerica beat them?
That's it, we must have rushed into this, we weren't prepared. Yes, Cerica's
sure of it!

Cerica:
D- don't you forget! Cerica is definitely gonna beat you!

Medoute:
That girl, are you sure you want to let her go? She will target you again.

Garlot:
Leave her.
I don't want to chase someone with such sad eyes.

-----------------------------------------------------
Velleman:
Your skills truly are wonderful. There is no doubt in my mind.
I would like to officially make you my private army. Will you take my offer?

Jenon:
First, count Velleman, I would like to know what your objectives are. Please
tell us honestly.

Velleman:
The answer is simple. Once I firmly establish my status within the Empire, I
can change this country.

Shiskia:
Then, you want to change the country?

Velleman:
Poverty, discrimination, draft, public unrest... all these things are a disease
on the current Empire.
If things are left as they are, one day soon our Empire will crumble.
Someone must change these things from the ground up.
However, with change, there are sure to be those who oppose it.
The courtiers who cling to their interests, wealthy merchants, and of course
the nobleman class!
In preparation for the clashes with political enemies that I expect will come,
a military force is essential.

Jenon:
And that would be us. I see.

Medoute:
The speech was quite long; however, it really was simple. Brute force too is
important.

Garlot:
Can you tell me one other thing.

Velleman:
Hm?

Garlot:
If I go with you, will I be able to change the world?

Velleman:
That will depend on what you do, Garlot.

Garlot:
..............

Velleman:
Will you come with me?

Garlot:
Yes, let's do this.

Velleman:
You call yourselves the Blazing Outlaws, am I right?

Garlot:
Yeah, we do.

Velleman:
My army calling themselves outlaws would be strange. It's best if from now on
you take on name Gram Blaze.

Garlot:
Gram Blaze... An angry flame. Alright.
We'll show everyone how brightly our will burns. To change the Empire, we'll
burn out all the senselessness in the world!

フレアヴェルク上洛
Journey to Flarewerk
Ether Canyon - Eastern Part of the Plank Road

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map7.01]
The Blazing Outlaws led by Garlot, became employed by the nobleman, count
Velleman, and were remade as his private army. And thus, Gram Blaze was born.

Once back in Tiera, they received their first orders; to protect count Velleman
on his journey to the capital.

Along the way of what they expected to be a simple mission, Garlot learned that
Tiera was not the only place affected by civil unrest, but that it spread
throughout the whole country.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map7.02]
Shiskia:
It's our third day on this plank road. I've even gotten used to how far away
the ground is.
The problem just my feelings. It's because you can see over the cliff here.
But I don't feel like we're high up, so I'm not scared.

Jenon:
There are books that say that talking a lot is a sign of nervousness.

Garlot:
I see.

Shiskia:
What was that, Jenon! Don't talk about unnecessary things!

Jenon:
Ah, was I spot on?

Velleman:
They certainly are lively......

Medoute:
Should I get them to quiet down?

Velleman:
No, I don't mind. So long as they focus when it's time to work they can do what
they want.

Medoute:
Everyone, quiet!

Velleman:
I said I don't mind.

Medoute:
It's not that, the work you spoke of has shown up.
Garlot, I hear rough footsteps coming this way! It's bandits!

|---------------------|

|-Unexpected Enemies!-|

Bandit:
What's this? Looks like we've caught some dangerous prey.
Are you by any chance bodyguards?
Hehehe, surrender peacefully if you value your lives. Drop all your valuables
and we'll let you go.

Velleman:
Garlot, do you understand?

Garlot:
Hm...? What do you mean?

Velleman:
Right now the empire is teeming with this trash.

Garlot:
That's something that can't be helped, I suppose......

Velleman:
Gram Blaze, forward! Show these brigands the punishment for their crimes!

In the case that the terrain is narrow, we must think carefully about how we
want to form unions, and only then move.

Medoute:
Emperor Soltier, due to a pact with a demon dragon, he stands at the summit of
this country.

Shiskia:
Demon dragon, hmph... He's certainly got the face of a villain.

Jenon:
Sh! Shiskia, he'll hear you.

Soltier:
Well, well, if it isn't Velleman. What happened, I heard the sounds of a
battle.

Velleman:
Yes, your Majesty. We had encountered some brigands.

Soltier:
I see. By the way, is this your army?

Velleman:
That is correct. Lately there have been brigands just like these along the main
highways.

Soltier:
And from what I saw, the red-headed one is the leader. What is your name?

Garlot:
.....Isn't it good manners to give your name first?

Imperial Guard Leader:
Why you! How dare you speak to his majesty in such a way!!

Soltier:
It's fine, Lapis. It is merely his poor breeding showing.

Garlot:
What did you say!

Soltier:
I wouldn't be surprised if this one started out as a bandit himself. I won't
bother to ask for his name again.
Anyways, back up, Velleman. I am busy inspecting the western area.

Shiskia:
Wait, wait!

Velleman:
As you wish.

Shiskia:
What was that, Velleman! Don't bow down to someone like that!

Velleman:
What do you think would happen if we oppose the emperor now? Such a lack of
tact would get us executed, and nothing would change.
This is different from my letting you address me without a title.
At the moment we must have patience.

Shiskia:
Agh! It's this attitude that makes you guys nobles.

Medoute:
We understand your feelings, Shiskia, but for now, control yourself.

Shiskia:
I know! But if it's something I don't agree with, I'm not gonna agree with it!

Jenon:
Good grief, Shiskia and Garlot... You two are so energetic even in this
heat......

Garlot:
What's that supposed to mean, Jenon.

Jenon:
It doesn't mean anything!

駆けてきた姉妹
The Sisters that Came Running
Marquis Albert's Dominion - Downtown

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map8.01]
Forcing his way through the company's third confrontation with Cerica was the
man standing at the summit of the Bronquian empire, emperor Soltier.

His rude and arrogant attitude irritated the members of Gram Blaze but it was
obvious that before his overwhelming authority, there was nothing they could
do.

Later, once count Velleman finished his business in the imperial capital
Flarewerk, he commanded his army to protect him on the return trip to Tiera.

On the way they stopped by the territory of the nobleman Albert, and Garlot's
path crossed with that of two girls.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map8.02]
Velleman:
What did you think of the capital? I believe it was your first time there?

Garlot:
The constant stink of money was exhausting. Even if I could I wouldn't want to
live there.

Shiskia:
That city was full of people I didn't like, along with that emperor.

Jenon:
You really hate the emperor that much, Shiskia?

Shiskia:
Huh? Well, there's nothing likable about him. Or do you not think so, Jenon?
I mean, just thinking about it makes me mad.

Girl with a Crutch:
Hah..., ha...... h- help, save my sister......

Medoute:
Hm? What happened?

Jenon:
Looks like your leg is injured, are you alright?

Girl with a Crutch:
I'm fine......
More importantly, my sister! Please! My sister took up a sword to allow me to
escape, and is fighting even now!

Garlot:
Where can we find her!

Velleman:
Wait, Garlot! Don't get involved carelessly without knowing who the enemy is!
To start with, who are you? Why are you being targeted by these assassins?

Girl with a Crutch:
I am called Luciana. But for now, more importantly......

Luciana:
At any rate, Please hurry! Save my sister! Save Aegina!

Luciana:
Thank you so much for your help.
Now, let us start over. I am called Luciana. This is my younger sister, Aegina.

Shiskia:
Are you two twins?

Luciana:
Yes.

Shiskia:
When you stand next to each other, I can't tell you apart.

Luciana:
Now then, let's go Aegina. We should gather our belongings and be ready to
leave.

Aegina:
Wait, Sis! There's no way you'd be able to travel with your leg in such a
state.

Luciana:
Yes but, now that Lord Albert has died, we have no place to stay.

Velleman:
Wait, you don't mean the marquis Albert that owns these lands.

Luciana:
.....Yes. Marquis Albert was our foster father.

Aegina:
Lord Albert was the one who protected us from the Divine Order.

Garlot:
The Divine Order... I've never heard of them. Are they the guys we fought with
back there?

Jenon:
Lady Luciana, I must agree with your sister. You will not be able to travel in
such a state. You should reconsider.

Shiskia:
That's right. The next time you're attacked there's no way you'll escape.

Luciana:
Unfortunately we have no other alternative.

Velleman:
In that case why don't the two of you join Gram Blaze?

Luciana:
What are you suggesting?

Velleman:
If you're surrounded by troops they can protect you from an attack. And in
exchange you can add to our strength.

Garlot:
Are you sure it's alright?

Velleman:
You are surprised?

Jenon:
I see, that's what you're after. Count Velleman, am I correct in saying that
you are after this city?

Velleman:
That's right... you two were adopted by the marquis. In other words, you are
naturally his successors.
If you join Gram Blaze I will become your guardian.
Thus, until you come of age, the marquis's lands will in reality be controlled
by me.
That is my condition in exchange for your protection. Well, do you accept?

Shiskia:
Ummm, that's kinda dirty, and yet at the same time...

Aegina:
.....Sister.

Luciana:
Yes, we will accept your proposal. But we have a condition of our own.
Could you please call us just Luciana and Aegina, without adding any titles?

Medoute:
Then it's decided. But now let's get Luciana off that leg so that it can heal.

Velleman:
Answer me just one more question. Who are your real parents?

Luciana:
.....My apologies, we don't know that either.

戦士と狂気
A Soldier and Madness
Remote Northern Territory - Imperial Garrison

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map9.01]
Having been rescued from mysterious pursuers in Marquis Albert's domain, the
sisters Luciana and Aegina joined the Gram Blaze in an arrangement with count
Velleman.

Despite the unexpected increase in troops, Count Velleman did not think that
his private army was yet strong enough.

Therefore, he chose his next target: the previous commanding officer of
Flarewerk's garrison, who had been demoted by the current administration. The
man was currently leading the army in a remote northern garrison, known to his
soldiers as "The Mad Knight".

With a man so knowledgeable in the arts of war so their side, Velleman's troops
would receive much better training.

Heading for the remote garrison by the northern border under the pretence of an
inspection by the nobleman, count Velleman, Gram Blaze was ordered to find out
if the man would make a valuable asset, and if so pressure him to join.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map9.02]
Shiskia:
I've heard of the northern border before, but I never expected it to be this
far away...

Jenon:
We are pretty close now. We should be able to see it soon. Hm, are you getting
tired, Shiskia?

Shiskia:
Not tired, just a little cold......

Garlot:
But we've come quite far...... Won't we reach the end of the world if we keep
going like this?

Medoute:
Hmhm, far, you say...... Garlot, this country's territory makes up only a small
part of the world.
And besides, there's no end to the world.

Garlot:
No end? How does that work?

Medoute:
Strictly speaking, there is a limited amount of space. However, our world is a
sphere. That's why I said there's no end.

Garlot:
Sphere? You mean it's round?

Jenon:
You didn't know that, Garlot?

Shiskia:
Hold on a sec, isn't the ground flat? There's no way it could be round.

Medoute:
Actually, I've sailed around the world once in a ship.

Garlot:
I see, round, huh...... And, around the whole world; you're really something,
Medoute.

Shiskia:
Agh, Garlot! Don't believe everything so easily!

Medoute:
Oh? Isn't that the imperial army?

Garlot:
Way to change the subject......

Shiskia:
Agh!!

|-----------------|
| SORTIE |
|-Follow my Lead!-|

Commander in Black Armor:
Hey, you there in the right flank! You're advancing too slow!

Private:
M- my apologies......

Commander in Black Armor:
Your weakness has thrown the whole group off! Come up front and face judgment!

Officer:
.....With all due respect, supreme commander Leon, after such hard training
every day the soldiers are nearing exhaustion.
And, is it not excessive to judge someone for a single mistake?
Please, give the soldiers a chance to rest...

Leon:
Moron! There's no rest on the battlefield! Only a weakling would think this is
hard training!!
I'll make you regret trying my temper like this! Go die in shame!!

Jenon:
.....Hmm. He is quite the stern man.

Medoute:
Maybe, but his ability as a commander is somewhat questionable, don't you
think? He might end up killing his troops.

Garlot:
I agree, we can't just leave this be... Let's go stop him.
That's enough, supreme commander Leon!

Leon:
Huh, who the hell are you......

Garlot:
We have come to examine your training on orders from count Velleman.
Wasn't that soldier just a bit slow? Isn't it too much to judge him just for
something like that?

Leon:
What did you say...... What would a nobleman's dog like you know about military
training.

Jenon:
Garlot, what do you think about him?

Garlot:
It's pointless. I wouldn't trust him. I won't ask him to join.

Medoute:
I agree, this isn't worth worrying over.

Garlot:
Supreme commander Leon, sorry for bothering your drill. We'll be going now.

Leon:
Hang on.

Shiskia:
Eh? What now?

Leon:
You came to watch the drill, right? Why not stay and see the results of our
training.
How about it, have a mock battle with us.

Jenon:
Do you realize what you're saying......

Leon:
What's wrong? Are you scared, little nobleman's pets?
You're all trash. Relying on a noble's authority and mistaking it for your own
strength!

Garlot:
What did you say!

Shiskia:
Garlot, calm down.

Garlot:
Our strength is nothing of that sort!

Leon:
In that case come, prove to me that you've got your own power!

/--Victory--------------

Leon:

| |
| | WHAT BROUGHT FORTH THIS VICTORY?
| /\ | Defeated the Mad Knight in black!

Jenon:
What overwhelming power......

Medoute:
If the enemy wasn't exhausted, we would likely have lost.
Their morale may have been low, but still, with so much training...
There is a lesson to be learned from this.

Shiskia:
We don't need anyone with that personality though.

-----------------------------------------------------
Jenon:
Now then, we'll be heading back to Tiera.
By the way, where's supreme commander Leon?

Officer:
Please accept my humblest apologies. Ever since the battle ended, he has
confined himself to his quarters, and refuses to leave.

Aegina:
.....Is he in shock over losing the battle?

Shiskia:
If he is, he's surprisingly sensitive.

Elena:
Um... Excuse me......

Officer:
Ah, Milady Elena.
Allow me the honor of introductions. This is supreme commander Leon's younger
sister, Milady Elena.

Shiskia:
Sister? Th- there's no resemblance at all......

Elena:
I would like to ask for forgiveness for all the trouble my brother has caused.

Garlot:
You shouldn't be apologizing. This is something he should be saying himself.

Elena:
Yes, you are right. My apologies.
My brother has been this way ever since our parents were killed. He has refused
to open his heart to others.

Garlot:
Your parents were killed?

Elena:
My parents served as the members of His Majesty the Emperor's personal guard.
However, before the foreign campaign, they broke military regulations, and were
suddenly executed by the Emperor.

Shiskia:
Eh... Just like that!?

Elena:
My brother's name was sullied for that as well. He was given the mark on his
forehead, and lost his position at the capital's garrison.

Garlot:
All because of that emperor...... I see.

Elena:
Ever since, my brother has refused to believe anyone, and has lost himself in
loneliness......

Aegina:
He must have been hurt too, having lost the parents he respected...... It is
not strange to lose faith in people after that.

Leon:
Elena! Stop telling them useless things!!

Elena:
B- brother!

Garlot:
(This guy... He's just like me.
He was hurt by the world's senselessness as well.
If my life had been even a little different, I might have ended up like him.)

Leon:
Hey, you! Don't look at me like that! It makes me want to vomit.

Officer:
Supreme commander, where to next?

Leon:
I'm sick of leading in this backwater place! I quit!
Until my replacement comes, you can be in charge. Now good riddance.

Garlot:
Hey wait, Leon!

Leon:
What do you want, nobleman's dog?

Garlot:
..............
.....No, it's nothing.

Leon:
Keh, I told you to stop looking at me like that.

Shiskia:
Elena, are you going too?

Elena:
Yes. I cannot allow my brother to be alone anymore.

Officer:
.....The supreme commander has left. His presence was much like that of a
tornado.

Medoute:
Mad Knight Leon...... I wonder whom that fury benefits.

| Among different terrains there exist opportunities to limit the damage of
| battles.
| For example, a "Fort" terrain and a "Town" terrain have high advantages.
| Especially during long battles.
| Also, some units have special bonuses when standing on specific terrain.
| Knights are stronger on roads, and hunters are a menace in the forest.
| Fighting a foe on superior terrain leaves you at a great disadvantage.
| Luring the enemy off that terrain is a beneficial tactic.

Chase Down the Thieves!
Tiera - Nibel District

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map10.01]
In the Nibel district of Tiera, the disappearance valuable things in the dead
of night was a common occurrence. Rumors spread of well organized thieves
carrying out a thought out plan.

Therefore, Count Velleman has instructed Gram Blaze to patrol the city at
night. His orders were to see if there's any truth to the rumors, and if so,
capture the bandits.

In lending the group's aid to the noblemen, count Velleman's true goal was to
imply to them his owning a private army.

And so, Garlot's group patrolled the city at night.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map10.02]
Shiskia:
Hey, even if there are thieves around, why do we have to patrol here for the
nobles and merchants?

Medoute:
Now that you mention it, you guys used to be thieves before. Does this switch
in status weigh on your conscience?

Shiskia:
Yeah, that too probably......

Garlot:
None of these bandits have any honor. They're just scoundrels stealing for
their own profit. There's a big difference between us.

Medoute:
But it's also true that because you were successful at being honorable thieves,
guys like these have started to appear.

Garlot:
Medoute, I'll say it once more. We are different from those guys.

Medoute:
I am not saying you're not. I wish you'd try to understand what I'm saying a
little more.

Jenon:
Do you mean the difference between intentions and actions?

Medoute:
Not exactly. I'm saying that it's difficult to convey that your actions and the
meaning behind them are righteous.

Garlot
..............

Aegina:
In any case, a patrol is not a bad thing.
Let us stay alert and try to locate the thieves.

|-Enemies Just Ahead.-|
|---------------------|

Thief Leader:
Mn...? Who're you guys?

Medoute:
We're the ones who should be asking that. You don't look like a vigilance
committee......

Thief Leader:
Hm? Hey, aren't you Garlot? Which would mean you guys are the Blazing Thieves.
You guys are allies, hehehehe.
We were afraid you might have been some nobleman's army or a self-defense
force.

Garlot
..............

Thief Leader:
By the way, what do you think of our haul today? We're planning to go a little
deeper into town with this job.

Garlot:
We're Gram Blaze...... The private army of the nobleman Velleman.

Thief Leader:
I- I see...... we've heard rumors of that as well...
But you used to be thieves like us before. You can just pretend you didn't see
us, okay?

Garlot:
We've never stolen for our own sake, not even once! Don't lump us in with you
guys!

Thief Leader:
Stealing is stealing, isn't it all the same? We can be enemies after today,
can't you let us go just this time?

Garlot:
You're all trash! I'll cut you down until not one's left!!

/--Victory--------------
/ Defeat the encountered thieves!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot dies... /
Use up all your cards... /
---------------------/

Garlot:
Don't let a single one escape, got it!

Thief Leader:
This is how you get when you gain status! Ah, whatever, let' take them down
Everyone, form ranks!

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map10.03]
Thief Leader:
Tch! Everyone scatter! We're gonna reorganize!

|------------------|
| RETREAT |
|-Time to Regroup.-|
|------------------|

| |
| | THE BATTLE CONTINUES!
| /\ | The thieves are retreating in the streets of Tiera!

Garlot:
Think you can run! Corner them and take them out!

|---------------------|
| ENCOUNTER |
|-Enemies Just Ahead.-|
|---------------------|

Cerica:
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-! Garlot!!

Garlot:
Her again, at such a time!

Cerica:
We came here to steal a bit of money, but this is an unexpectedly big catch.
This time Cerica will get revenge for commander David!

/--Victory--------------
/ Drive away the revenge seeking Cerica!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot dies... /
Use up all your cards... /
---------------------/

Garlot:
I've no time to waste on you!

Cerica:
Heh, Cerica doesn't care about your circumstances. Now, come on!

-----------------------------------------------------
Cerica:
No matter how many times we fight Cerica can't win...... Why, Cerica......
At this rate all Cerica's troops will be gone... Everyone, we're retreating!

Jenon:
That decision is little late......

Cerica:
Cerica will never, never forgive any of you!!

|------------------|
| RETREAT |
|-Time to Regroup.-|
|------------------|

| |
| | THE FIRE YET BURNS BRIGHTLY!
| /\ | Successfully repelled Cerica who appeared suddenly!!

|-----------------|
| SORTIE |
|-Follow my Lead!-|
|-----------------|

Thief Leader:
Heh heh heh, thanks to that little interruption we managed to put together some
more fighting power.
Now, how about we pay you back for earlier.

Garlot:
You were still here, you trash......

Thief Leader:
Well, eh... I bet if we get rid of you now, our future jobs will go a lot more
smoothly.
It's too bad, you know. We had a lot of respect for the Blazing Thieves.

Garlot:
Don't make me say it twice. We've never done anything to be called thieves!

/--Victory--------------
/ Annihilate the thieves!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot dies... /
Use up all your cards... /
---------------------/

Garlot:
Not one of you will escape! Let's go!

-----------------After Battle---------------- [Map10.04]
Thief Leader:
Keh... Looks like this is the end......
Eh, can't be helped...... In the world of thieves it's the strong who survive.
So the saying goes......

|-----------------------|
| KILLED IN ACTION |
|-A Warrior has Fallen.-|
|-----------------------|

| |
| | DRIVEN BACK THE ENEMY
| /\ | With the leader slain, the thief troop falls!
|/ \|

Garlot:
Damn it, still calling us thieves!

-----------------------------------------------------
Medoute:
The bandits have been slain...... After we report to count Velleman, this will
all be over.

Jenon:
Yes, but... They knew about us......

Garlot:
We're not like them!
All we've ever done was help the poor people by returning the things unfairly
taken by the bad guys.
But they really were thieves. They're trash! They didn't have any feelings of
responsibility.

Shiskia:
It's difficult to convey that the meaning behind your actions is righteous...

Garlot:
That's not it, Shiskia! There's no more to it than dirty people caring about
nothing but themselves.

Medoute:
It's for that reason, I believe, that having power cannot be easily detached
from that meaning, and that's why it must be used.
While I do believe that it's the goal of many people to have power, that's not
the problem. It's when they get it that the fighting starts.

Garlot:
..I think I'm starting to understand what you wanted to say, Medoute.

Shiskia:
It's okay, Medoute.
I'm sure that with everyone's support, even if we get really strong, we'll use
that power for good.

Medoute:
Yes, I believe you.

-----------------------------------------------------
BAIFU JOINED

Medoute:
At any rate...... This fluffy thing sure startled me.

Jenon:
Baifu here is a beast man. I've read about them in a book before, but I didn't
believe they were real......

Baifu:
You've got books too?
Let Baifu read them. The book Baifu's looking for might be there.

Jenon:
Yes, yes. We'll do so the next time we're there.

Medoute:
But, this fluffy thing...... It certainly is big; we can't just leave it alone
in town like this.

Shiskia:
This fur is so soft and fluffy. It feels so nice. Can't we take him with us?

Jenon:
He's not a pet, you know......

Garlot:
He'd definitely be useful in battle with that superhuman strength. Let's talk
to Velleman, then he can stay at the army housing grounds.
Baifu, do you wanna come with us? We'll search for the book together.

Baifu:
You guys are reliable! Baifu will go with you!

Garlot:
Alright, it's decided.

--Shiskia vs. Cerica-----------------------------------
| Cerica:
| Do you have any idea what it's like to have someone important taken from you!
|
| Shiskia:
| Do you think no one else understands that? What a worthless assumption! What,
| are you now the heroine of a tragedy!?
|
| Cerica:
| W- w- what did you say!!
|

--Jenon vs. Cerica-------------------------------------
| Jenon:
| If possible, I'd prefer not to draw my blade against a cute girl.
|
| Cerica:
| W! What are you saying, stupid!
|

| Jenon:
| Rather than that axe, a fan of feathers would suit you much better.
|
| Cerica:
| What are you saying! Is that all you live for!
|
|---DEFEAT
| Jenon:
| I went too easy thinking you were just a girl.
|
| Cerica:
| Aah, but Cerica went easy too, thinking you were some useless guy.

--Medoute vs. Cerica-----------------------------------
| Medoute:
| Your purpose for fighting will one day end on your own unhappiness......
|
| Cerica:
| Stop talking like you know everything!
| This unhappiness will end when Cerica defeats you!
|
|---VICTORY
| Medoute:
| You'd best call off your soldiers right now.
|
| Cerica:
| Darn it, one day Cerica will get revenge for commander David......
|
|---DEFEAT
| Cerica:
| Just because something's big, doesn't mean it's good. Got it, big axe girl!
|
| Medoute:
| Isn't that the bias of someone small?
|
| Cerica:
| What!
-----

--Aegina vs. Cerica------------------------------------
| Aegina:
| Come near me and I will strike you down!
|
| Cerica:
| What's with that catchphrase! Do you think you sound cool?
|

| Aegina:
| You may have some skill, but that is all your strength, in the end.
|
|---DEFEAT

| Ah, it's a coin. But it's not normal money, so I can't buy more sake with it.
|
|---BAIFU
| Baifu:
| Mn? A coin has been dropped!
| It has a picture of a dragon... It's not like the coins you buy things with.
| Eh? Why does Baifu say that, you ask? Because there's not two dragons... How

| Garlot:
| What the!
| Where exactly did this beast man come from? And so big......
|
| Large Framed Beast Man:
| Baifu will answer your question. Baifu came from the north. How was that.*
| *(Baifu makes a lot of puns. In this case the 'north' and 'came' are the same
| (kita). Most, if not all his puns are like that, so I'm not gonna point them

| ......A beast man that makes puns......
|
|---MEDOUTE
| Medoute:
| There's an unusual presence coming from inside this building.
| It may be an ambush. I'd best check it out just in case.
|
| Large Framed Beast Man:
| ...............

| ......Ng!
| W- w- wait, stop! Umm, someone explain this situation to me.
|

| And, came from the north? Is that supposed to be a joke? It's not funny,
| whatever it is.

AFTERWARD

Garlot:
You said your name is Baifu? What are you doing in this house?

Baifu:
Baifu's master is wants a certain book on magic. Baifu has gone to look for it.
This city is big, it has lots of books. But, Baifu can't find the book......

Jenon:
A book? I believe count Velleman had a large library.

Baifu:
Library? That's the place to put carriages, right?*
*(Baifu confused the word for library (shoko) with garage (shako).)*

Jenon:
That would be a garage. A library is a room where lots of books are kept.

Baifu:
A library has lots of books! Baifu has gotten smarter! And also, plums are
really sour.
Then, you have a library where you live!
In that case, Baifu will help you out! So, show Baifu the library!

Garlot:
What? You want to go with us? We're in the middle of a battle right now.

Baifu:
Battle? Baifu knows what that is! There are enemies, and if you defeat them you
win.
Baifu can help! Baifu will defeat them!

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (1st, 3rd)

While out to eliminate bandits to protect the peace in Tiera, Gram Blaze's
captain, Garlot, lost his life, and Gram Blaze vanished from history's stage...

Defeat - Out of Cards (2nd)----------------------------

In a conflict with Cerica, who was vehement on revenge, Gram Blaze was
scattered due to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to disband...

Enlisting, an Eccentric Girl
Ellrok Mountain Range - Side Road

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map11.01]
Though the private army was becoming stronger day by day, that strength tended
to lean towards brute force, so Count Velleman looked into organizing a
magician squad to fill that deficiency.

Garlot, charged with finding a capable leader for the new squad, heard rumors
of a an eccentric yet capable magician who commanded a powerful cannon, living
in seclusion beyond the towering Ellrok Mountain Range to the north.

However, as Gram Blaze departed Tiera, they had not noticed a certain group
creeping up after them......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map11.02]
Shiskia:
Uuhhhh, it's cold!

Jenon:
We have gone quite far up.

Aegina:
But... Does someone really live this deep in the mountains?

Medoute:
This magician is certainly an odd one.
Hey Garlot. Where exactly is this magician supposed to be living?

Garlot:
It should be somewhere around here...... I'm not sure exactly where. That's why
we brought along soldiers.

Aegina:
Then the plan is to divide and conquer? In that case I will search over here.

Jenon:
This isn't smart...... Wouldn't it have been better to wait until we had more
information before coming here?
Sigh...... We can only do this if everyone splits up. We'll have to search over
the whole mountain.

Garlot:
By the way, we've had more chances to get away from Tiera......
Aegina, aren't you worried about leaving Luciana at the army housing grounds?

Aegina:
There are usually many soldiers there. I will feel relieved when we return.
I am grateful that you would go so far as to worry about my sister, master
Garlot.
I will do my best to repay this debt of gratitude with this sword.

Garlot:
Both you and Luciana are friends. It's nothing special to worry about you two.
But once I become strong, I hope you two lend me your strength to do the right
thing.

Aegina:
I promise you that, master Garlot.
.....Master Garlot.

Garlot:
Yeah, something's coming......

Aegina:
Master Garlot, I am the one the Divine Order wants.
Allow me to be taken. In that moment, everyone, please break free.

Garlot:
Luciana is waiting for you! You can't do this!

Aegina:
At this rate we will all be destroyed.
Please, take care of my sister.

So noisy...... Aah, you're bothering my beauty sleep.
Truly, no one around here thinks of anyone but themselves! How about being a
little more courteous to your neighbors!

Zilva:
..............

Garlot:
There's a person this deep in the mountains? Could she be the magician we were
looking for!?

Spectacled Girl:
Ah, there are so many people. This looks like a good chance for a test fire.
Just thinking about it makes me shiver! I, the great Eudy, can try out the
results of my research at last! Kyahaha!

Garlot:
The enemy has been driven back somehow......
But, this fight was certainly terrifying.

Aegina:
We should thank that girl...

Eudy:
Kyahahahaha! Aah, I feel all better!!
Although... A movable cannon has second rate power and accuracy.
It will need a lot more improvement and experimentation.

Garlot:
A bizarre person and a cannon user... Looks like she's the one we've been
looking for.

-----------------------------------------------------
Eudy:
Hmmm. In other words, you want me to join this private army called Gram Blaze?
Uuh, uumm, I see. Alright. I'll join. However, I have two conditions first.

Jenon:
And they are?

Eudy:
First I would like to continue to study firearms. If I can't I'll have to
reject your offer.

Garlot:
You'll have to discuss that with our employer. Most likely though, he won't
have a problem.

Medoute:
Or rather, he'll be more than happy to let you, I bet.

Jenon:
And your other condition?

Eudy:
There's a certain item I want. It's necessary for the cannon I am currently
developing.

Garlot:
I see. Then, once we find it we'll give it to you.

Shiskia:
Then, what is it? And where can we find it?

Eudy:
It's called Ur's Tear. It's almost never found whole when excavated. It's a
most valuable hidden stone.

Shiskia:
Huh, I've never heard of it.

Eudy:
Most of the general public does not even know it exists.

Shiskia:
What's that! Then, where is this stone?

Eudy:
It's famed to be on the necklace of a man of the Meria church, by the name of
Juvelon.

Shiskia:
Then there's no way we can get it!

Eudy:
How about this? The mines of the next country over, despite the considerably
large size, have been mined out.
According to rumor, there is a secret trafficking project in those mines.
Well, do you wonder how I know of this project?

Aegina:
The next country over... You mean the trafficking is from the Kingdom of
Fantasinia...

Eudy:
Very insightful. What I want is for you to attack the traffickers and steal
their cargo!

Jenon:
..Even for a capable magician, this is still a really reckless plan.

Eudy:
It'll be fine! The trafficking group will pass really close to the border.
We'll only be crossing the border by a bit.
Besides, with a bit of disguise no one will think you're a nobleman's army at
all. You'll look like common thieves!

Medoute:
What you're saying seems really complicated......

Eudy:
Oh, yes. I expect this attack will happen in the desert. These cards should be
useful there.

Defeat - Out of Cards (1st)

Having encountered the Divine Order while on an expedition in the Ellrok
Mountain Range, Gram Blaze was scattered due to a flaw in tactics, and was
forced to disband...

Defeat - Unit Death (2nd)------------------------------

While attempting to fend off the Divine Order's offence, Gram Blaze lost a
crucial member and never recovered...

Defeat - Aegina Defeated (3rd)-------------------------

Before the carefully planned siege by the Divine Order, Aegina's life was lost.
The Gram Blaze, crushed one by one, was annihilated...

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (4th)-------------------------

Even with the cannon helping them against the Divine Order's attack, Gram
Blaze's captain, Garlot, lost his life, and Gram Blaze vanished from history's
stage...

========================================================================[Map12]
砂漠に拾え、一滴の涙
Search for a Teardrop in the Desert
Nilrud Desert

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map12.01]
Due to a sudden encounter with the Divine Order, Gram Blaze found themselves in
a pinch. The one to come to their rescue was Eudy, the magician they were
searching for.

To Garlot's request to enlist, Eudy had one condition. To attack a neighboring
country's transport, and steal their cargo.

In that cargo was a magical item called the Ur's Tear, needed to make the
cannon she was developing stronger.

In secret, Gram Blaze traveled to the most remote part of transport route, the
Nilrud desert, and awaited the arrival of the traffickers......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map12.02]
Garlot:
The desert is really cold at night. The heat of the day seems like a lie.

Medoute:
Maybe, but count Velleman was really accepting of an attack on Fantasinian
traffickers.
How exactly was he convinced of this?

Garlot:
Eudy was the one to convince him.

Eudy:
"These traffickers are not at all affiliated with the kingdom. They transport
their goods in secret, so there should be no problems."

Jenon:
Then, you're sure they're not connected to the Kingdom?

Eudy:
Eeh, probably.

Jenon:
Probably......?

Aegina:
Even if that chance comes to be, we can silence the kingdom's troops without
worry.
The kingdom is evil. There is no reason to feel guilty for robbing them.

Shiskia:
That's not like you, Aegina.

Aegina:
..............
.....I!

Medoute:
Sh! Quiet! There are people coming......

|-----------------|
| SORTIE |
|-Follow my Lead!-|
|-----------------|

Jenon:
Yep, as far as I can tell, the griffon rider unit is the one carrying what
we're after.

Medoute:
I see...... A thousand to one, if they're attacked, their tactic would be to
run.

Jenon:
If they manage to get across the desert, it's very likely that they will meet
up with other traders.

Medoute:
Then, if they get across, we may as well concede defeat......

Garlot:
In that case, let's hurry!

/--Victory--------------

Let's go!

Trafficker:
C- commander! There's an armed unit up ahead!!

Trafficker Leader:
So the thieves have shown up! These greedy bastards are after the cargo!
All units, focus on the enemy's blockade! Make a way through it!

Eudy:
Look, you see! The guards are not from the kingdom's regular army! Looks like
my information was spot on.

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map12.03]
Garlot:
Now! Beat them back in one hit!

Trafficker Leader:
Damn, is breaking through impossible......

Zilva:
Secure the safety of the cargo, promptly. All troops move in.

Garlot:
That's the Divine Order! That girl's name was Zilva, I believe.
Did they come after Aegina again?

Eudy:
That's not it, captain. That girl is here to insure the protection of the
cargo.

Garlot:
Then the Divine Order is mixed up in this matter too......

instead!

Eudy:
I found it! This is it!! This glowing gem of destruction...... There's no
mistake, this is Ur's Tear!
Now my dream of having the weapon with the most destructive power in history
can become a reality!

Garlot:
Then, you got what you were looking for?
So what are we supposed to do with the rest of these things? They look to be
various precious metals......

Eudy:
Isn't it all just luxuries for the rich? I've no interest in that.

|---------------------|
| ENCOUNTER |
|-Enemies Just Ahead.-|
|---------------------|

Minister of the Kingdom:
W- what is all this commotion? It sounded like fighting!
.....You! I bet you're robbers after the caravan!
I, the royal courtier Alanjame, will not quietly overlook this!

Medoute:
This is bad, Garlot! This man is the kingdom's internal affairs minister.

Eudy:
Why not leave this to me?
Ah, if it isn't his Excellency, minister Alanjame. I'm afraid this is all a
misunderstanding.
We are a mercenary group hired by the transport unit. We were protecting this
cargo from some bandits calling themselves the Divine Order.

Alanjame:
What? The Divine Order you say?

Eudy:
That is correct.
But we've somewhat of a problem. As you can see, we too have suffered
casualties, and need to bury our dead companion.
Oh yes, your Excellency! Would you mind if we were to entrust this cargo to
you?

Alanjame:
Hm, I see. If that's your problem I can take care of this.
Then this is the end of your job. What was the salary you were promised?

Eudy:
We've received our pay in advance, your Excellency.

Alanjame:
Hm? I see. In that case, good work.

Aegina:
..............

Alanjame:
What are you doing! Prepare the cargo for transport! Quickly, quickly!

Minister's Trooper:
Yes sir!

Medoute:
That was well played. It looked as though they were the ones expecting to
collect these things in the first place.

Eudy:
Phew, that's good.
I thought that minister might have been with those who came after the cargo, I
guess I was right.
It seems to me that the Divine Order and that Minister are somehow connected.
Well, that's of no use to us now.

Garlot:
Eudy, we've fulfilled your conditions. From now on work as hard as you can.

Eudy:
Of course, I keep my promises. Well, if you can handle me, that is.

Garlot:
Alright then, we've no more business here. Let's head back.

Aegina:
..............

Shiskia:
Aegina? What's wrong?

Aegina:
..It's nothing. Let's go.
(Alanjame, the kingdom's internal affairs minister.

Jiccard Mountain - Central Camp

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map13.01]
In the snowy region of Mount Jiccard towering over the northern part of the
empire, count Velleman lost contact with an acquaintance of who planned to
visit the provincial city Tiera.

Because the boundary with the neighboring country is very vague around the
summit of Mount Jiccard, smuggling and theft of smuggled items is frequent and
the region has become known for its danger.

Gram Blaze, together with count Velleman, hurried to the area to search for the
missing person. However, their way was obstructed by a violent snow storm.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map13.02]

I'm totally fine, really...... These clothes are surprisingly well

|
| Baifu:
| Baifu has seen snow a long time ago. The snow, it is nostalgic.
|
| Garlot:
| Oh yeah, you did come from the snowy country to the north, right Baifu?
|
| Baifu:
| Baifu is good at fighting in the snow. Trust Baifu when fighting in the snow,
| and when fighting with words.
|
| Jenon:
| Baifu being good at verbal battles... Somehow I doubt that.
|
| Medoute:
| But having come to such a cold place, I'm jealous of that fur of yours.
-----

Garlot:
At any rate, you came with us to rescue your friend.
That's surprisingly sympathetic of you, Velleman.

Velleman:
He is not a friend, he's an acquaintance.

Jenon:
Count Velleman, isn't it next to impossible to find someone if they become
stranded on a snowy mountain?

Velleman:
This mountain is dotted with huts made to be used by those in trouble.
First focus on searching for those huts. Let's hope he's taken shelter.

Garlot:
That's right. We've managed to get this far. We definitely have to at least try
to find him.

Medoute:
I would expect that due to these huts, this place would have become infested
with bandits.

Velleman:
I have heard that as well. Be on alert for encounters while searching the huts,
Garlot.

Garlot:
Don't worry, Velleman. It takes more that some petty bandits to take us down.
Alright, let's make a base here, and start the search!

/--Victory--------------

Medoute:
It's a race against time in such cold. Let's hurry, Garlot.

Garlot:
Yeah, got it.
But, you and Shiskia are quite something, Medoute. Doesn't this cold faze you
at all?
I didn't think that anyone could bear to be on a snowy mountain in those
clothes......

Medoute:
(It's not like I'm not cold!! I'm just trying to endure it!)

Shiskia:
(Aaah! Why did I wear these clothes!)

Velleman, we've found the person we were looking for.

Velleman:
Good. Is the merchandise safe?

Garlot:
Merchandise?

Young Merchant:
Yes master Velleman, all the goods are secure.

-----------------------------------------------------
Young Merchant:
Master Velleman, thank you for coming to save me. Really, if I had been there
an hour longer......

Velleman:
And you're certain that all the merchandise is alright?

Shiskia:
Wait, what's this about! You've done nothing but worry over some merchandise
ever since we got here. A person's life is more important!

Velleman:
Jenon, this is the inventory. Make sure that everything's there.

Shiskia:
Hang on, hang on! Don't ignore me!

Velleman:
Quiet! This is a business transaction. Checking over the merchandise is most
important!

Garlot:
A business transaction! What are you talking about! Weren't we here to rescue
your acquaintance? Does that mean you tricked us!!

Velleman:
This man is both an acquaintance and a merchant. I did not trick you.

Jenon:
T- this inventory...... it's weapons. This merchandise is weapons. And so many
too.
Bows and arrows, swords, axes, spears...... And also, high efficiency gunpowder
the import of which is forbidden.
You're smuggling these things, Count Velleman.

Garlot:
What the hell is this!

Velleman:
Yes, these are weapons. I am involved in arms smuggling.
To strengthen an army weaponry is essential. However, buying so many arms from
within the empire places one under suspicion for rebellion.
Therefore I requested that this man, a merchant from a neighboring country,
smuggle these in for me.

Young Merchant:
Master Velleman offered to buy these arms on better terms than any of my other
customers.
He pays well, so he is a frequent customer of mine.

Velleman:
And of course, the arms that your subordinates use are also replenished by him.
Do you have complaints, Garlot?

Garlot:
.....Then, you could have said that from the beginning.

Velleman:
If I had done so, you may have decided not to go, or not done your best.

Garlot:
..............

Velleman:
I don't think I was wrong when I made this choice.
Indeed, I'm sure you are quite capable.
However, it is also true that in the past you've recklessly run off without
listening to my orders.
I had to be certain that today's smuggling would be a success.
That's why I didn't give you this information. That's all.

Garlot:
Velleman, you really are selfish......
But that's the source of your strength. I understand that completely.
But despite that... No, because of that...
I was really happy when you ordered us to do something like helping a
friend......
But it was a lie. You tricked us......

Velleman:
That's enough, Garlot.
You wanted strength? If so then you'd best quickly come to terms with these
feelings.
.....We're leaving. Medoute, take command in place of your captain.

Medoute:
.....Understood.

Garlot:
..............

Young Merchant:
Mister Garlot, if you look at the end result, Master Velleman did save me.

Garlot:
I know. Velleman isn't wrong.
I understand that. It's just my feelings that are the problem...

Shiskia:
.....Garlot.

Garlot:
Agh, damn! What the hell! Why do I feel like this!!
..Damn!

Domain of Count Anise

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map14.01]
The domain governed by Count Anise, a distant relative of Count Velleman, has
recently come under repeated assault by a gang of bandits.

Count Anise, having heard of Gram Blaze's fame, pleaded for help from Count
Velleman who dispatched Garlot and company, deciding to do him a favor.

Gram Blaze departed westward from Tiera, to the territory of Count Anise......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map14.02]
Shiskia:
You're very eager today, Garlot.

Garlot:
That's because this job's got no complicated politics involved.
And since our opponents are just bandits who hurt people, I can fight as much
as I want.

Shiskia:
I can't stomach coming here at the request of some count, though...

Jenon:
Well, that's just how it is.
Gram Blaze has been getting famous. Nobles are starting to ask for us by name.

Medoute:
Looks like Count Velleman's done well advertizing us.

Jenon:
Looks like. Our name, along with the amount of bad guys we're removed, has been
spreading around the nobleman class.

Shiskia:
Wait, so it's good for Velleman that we're getting famous?

Medoute:
If we defeat the evils that soldiers and guards just stand back and watch, we
will be the only ones the nobles are talking about.
And in the nobles' sphere, those who are talked about are the ones who win.

Shiskia:
Keh, that's why the nobles are so disgusting.
But, you know, if we start to stand out too much, won't people start trying to
get rid of us?

Medoute:
Right now we're just trying to help maintain public order. We should be fine,
don't you think?

Shiskia:
Sigh, if you say so......

Garlot:
It's like this town didn't put up any resistance at all before we got here.

Shiskia:
It looks like there used to be a nobleman's private army, but they were
dissolved about a month ago.

Jenon:
I looked in the lord's mansion, but it's long since empty.

Garlot:
What!? Then...

Jenon:
This town's been abandoned by its lord.
It's clear that that's the reason we were involved in this.

Garlot:
Damn! What the hell is this!!

Shiskia:
Aah, really, nobles are so lazy.

Garlot:
Then we've got to protect this town.

Shiskia:
I sent a scout after those guys that ran away, so I bet we'll know where they
are soon.
According to the townspeople, they've got a base in Crade Forest to the west of
here.

Garlot:
Alright, as soon as we know where their base is, we'll begin our attack!

Medoute:
I thought Velleman's order were just to drive back the bandits.

Garlot:
I know that!
Like I said, we're gonna protect the town!
Don't stop us, Medoute!

Medoute:
Ah, well, it's useless to try and stop you. That's just the kind of guy you
are.

Jenon:
Yep, this is how things'll work out in the end anyways.

Shiskia:
What, you're not interested in this, Jenon?

Jenon:
I'm interested. After all, we're fighting to protect all the beautiful girls
that live in this city.

| | IMPEDIMENT FAILED

In the battle with the thieves assaulting Count Anise's territory, the central
city was destroyed; Gram Blaze failed to save the town...

========================================================================[Map15]
それぞれの事情
Every Circumstance
Crade Forest - Thief Hideout

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map15.01]
Gram Blaze, having arrived at Count Anise's domain, encountered the raiding
thieves, and drove them out. However, Count Anise had already abandoned the
town, which had fallen to ruin, and its citizens had given up hope.

While resenting the ruler's attitude and the bandits' actions, Garlot once
again keenly felt his own powerlessness.

According to the scout Shiskia sent out, the thieves, having fled, looked to
have taken refuge in Crade Forest to the west of the town. On his own judgment
Garlot mobilized the private army, and marched into the deep forest to
eradicate the group of thieves......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map15.02]
Shiskia:
The scout's come back. The thief base is just up ahead.

Jenon:
Garlot, I'd like to take some time now to think of a strategy.

Garlot:
Rather, you want to tell me not to just attack from the front?

Jenon:
Exactly.
Honestly, you never change. Really.
According to the info we got from the scout, the thieves have made headquarters
of the fortresses abandoned by the feudal lord.
Although the enemy's fighting is amateurish, it'll be problematic if they hole
up within the fortresses. So, I propose a surprise attack.

Medoute:
Sorry, Jenon, but that plan would likely be useless.
Look at the fortresses. The thieves probably figured that we'll be coming to
attack, and already prepared for a siege.

Jenon:
What's with that......

Garlot:
Too bad, Jenon. Looks like a frontal attack is the only way to go.

Medoute:
Our only consolation is that they are in fact amateurs.

Jenon:
Hm...? They've split their fighting strength up between the three fortresses.
That's stupid......
They certainly don't have a very good strategist.

Garlot:
Okay, enough already. Don't say anymore.

Jenon:
Eh? Are you saying that it's a good thing that Gram Blaze has me?

Garlot:
Yes, that's it!

According to our friend Pandra, this rabble belongs to a nobleman by the name
of Velleman.
They are no more that a group of thugs, after all.
Send a messenger to the front fortress. Have everyone strengthen their
defenses!

Jenon:
Garlot, the enemy's formation is weak. A sudden advance should lead to certain
victory!

Alright then, don't let up! Attack!!

Private Army Soldier:
Well... they said that they are relatives of the thieves.

Garlot:
What!?

Private Army Soldier:
It doesn't look like they will defy us. What should we do with them?

Garlot:
What to do, you say. Gather them in one place in the fortress, and make sure
someone keeps watch.
(Thieves have families too? Well, that's obvious if you think about it. Tch,
this is getting complicated...)

Garlot:
You're the thief leader?

Thief Leader:
That's right, and what the hell is your name?

Garlot:
I'm Garlot. The captain of Gram Blaze.

Thief Leader:
Gram Blaze? Those nobleman's dogs? I've heard of you.

Garlot:
Answer me one thing, why did you attack the town?

Thief Leader:
Before that you tell me, what were your thoughts when you killed women and
children!!

Jenon:
You mean your families? They're all fine. We protected them.

Thief Leader:
What! W- what... I see... thank god.
..The reason we attacked the town, hm. That's so that we could feed our
families.
We didn't become thieves because we wanted to.
With the nobles' heavy taxes there was nothing else we could do.

Medoute:
Do you really think we'll believe such a stupid reason?

Thief Leader:
It's true that we've done some bad things, but this our defiance of the nobles'
taxes! It's justice! Is that really so wrong!

Garlot:
Shut up! If that's your reason then why did you set the town on fire!! Why did
you kill the villagers!

Thief Leader:
.....The only ones who live in that town are people trying to suck up to the
count.
And you guys too, before you became dogs to the nobles, didn't you kill and
steal as well?

Garlot:
The only ones we went after were bad guys who preyed on others! Such as guys
like you!!

Thief Leader:
Keh, you're calling us bad guys... Well, nothing to be done about that.
You guys beat us. Do what you want.

Garlot:
That's fine. The punishment for one commanding thieves is death! That's the
law!!

Thief Leader:
Do it, I dare you.
But one day you'll see things as I have. When you meet the one who'll defeat
you......

Garlot:
Shut up! I'll kill you myself!!

Garlot, are you okay?

Garlot:
.....No problem.

Shiskia:
The reason they became thieves, huh.
Somehow, society's a lot more complicated than I thought. It makes me feel ill
sometimes......

Garlot:
What those guys did was not due to some reason, just evil. They can never be
forgiven.
But, I see what you mean too, Shiskia.
The reason is surely somewhere else.

Jenon:
If you go back to the root of why they became thieves, the reason is this
country.
Of course, that doesn't mean they're not responsible as well.

Medoute:
Well, isn't that why Count Velleman is trying to change the country?
I think he's got some chance to succeed.
With us as the means of that reformation.

Garlot:
..............

Medoute:
That commander that you executed, you can't forget about him.
We must fight so that none of his children end up becoming thieves again.

Garlot:
.....That's right, isn't it. I'm sure we'll change the world. And we'll do it
in a different way than these guys!
Now, let's head back to Tiera.

森の中の集落 - Village in the Forest-------------------------

Old Woman:
I have lived a long life, I care not if you take it...
..If we do not resist you won't kill us? I see.
But are you not a nobleman's soldiers come to pass judgment upon us?
What? You're not here to pass judgment?
I see, in that case there is an old story that I would like to tell you.
Everyone here previously lived in a peasant village.
But, unable to bear the heavy taxes, they abandoned their village, and came to
live, hidden, deep in the forest.
However, inside the forest one can't make enough land to farm.
To eke out a living with their families, they had no choice but to become
robbers...
Then a few years later a man by the name of Pandra came and supplied us with
weapons.
And our young ones mistook those weapons for power, leading to the current
situation.

S- spare me! Please, just my life!!

After all that happened, the neighboring town calls us thieves......

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (1st, 2nd, 3rd)

Having met with great resistance while trying to occupy the thief base, Gram
Blaze's captain, Garlot, lost his life, and Gram Blaze vanished from history's
stage...

========================================================================[Map16]
帝国の生み出したモノ
That which is Born of the Empire
Mount Tokino - Mountain Stronghold

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map16.01]
The city of Tiera is the heart of commerce and the second largest city of the
Bronquian Empire.

The region from Tiera and westward is geographically far from the capital. With
the public order deteriorating from before, those rising in revolt have once
again come to gather here.

With the west in such a state in the last few years particularly, the rebel
force has been gaining power. And an abundance of funds, rumored to have been
provided by a neighboring country, and a detailed system of management has
allowed their sphere of influence to gradually spread.

Considered organized criminals in the capital, the rebel force urged
sympathizers from all lands that faced subjugation. And so, naturally, the
powerful and spoken of private army of Count Velleman too was contacted.

If war were to break out, Tiera would be the first in the line of fire. So
Garlot began advancing on the rebel army's frontline base on Tokino Mountain.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map16.02]
Garlot:
Since when is this place a front base?

Medoute:
This is a strategic location from which one can directly attack Tiera.
Letting it get invaded is proof that the empire is losing its control.

Velleman:
As you said. And because of that lack of control, these men could get power.
Though recklessly raising a rebellion is something that an incompetent person
would do, it is one way to establish reform.

Jenon:
Count Velleman, the reason you've come to the front this time, could you
be......

Velleman:
You want to know if I am here to try and gain allies?

Garlot:
H- hey, you're not serious!

Velleman:
Don't get confused, Garlot. The chance of that is near zero.
According to my information it looks like the rebel army leader has taken
command at this front.
If these men fight with any kind of creed, I want to know their motives.

Medoute:
You want to confirm if there is any value in using them, then?

Velleman:
That's correct.

Jenon:
A thousand to one, if you can use the rebel army, then Gram Blaze......

Velleman:
I expect you are the stronger force.

Shiskia:
Hang on a sec! Are you saying that if you can use the rebel army you won't need
us!?

Velleman:
The chance of that is slim.

Shiskia:
That's not an answer!

Garlot:
Stop it, Shiskia. It's obvious that those with no power are unnecessary. Right?

Velleman:
Then you understand.

Garlot:
If we're the best, we've nothing to worry about.

Shiskia:
That's true, but......

Medoute:
Sorry to interrupt in the middle of a conversation, but the first fortress has
come into sight.

Lazy, Leaderlike Man:
If it isn't Gram Blaze. I've been hearing rumors about you.
Hm...? What's this, what's this, the count has personally come along. Or maybe
a double?
But I should get to the introductions. I am Pandra, leader of the rebel army.

Velleman:
So you know what I look like. You wouldn't happen to be former imperial
soldier, would you?

Pandra:
Very observant, count.
By the way, you there with the red hair. I've heard rumors that you used to be
an outlaw, is that true?

Garlot:
What about it?

Pandra:
In that case we're comrades, so to speak.
I'm disappointed that you're a nobleman's dog now.
How about it, why not destroy the empire with me!

Garlot:
What!?

Medoute:
He's trying to provoke you, Garlot.

Pandra:
Of course, first you'd have to get rid of Count Velleman, well?
Even a lapdog can bite. Show me if you still have fangs.

Velleman:
But a wise dog chooses what he bites. A foolish stray has nothing besides his
fangs.

Pandra:
You're saying that I'm a stupid stray?

Velleman:
If not that, then a defeated one. On a mountain so far from the capital all you
can do is howl.

Pandra:
.....How dare you insult me.
I'll cut you into pieces for that nerve!

Velleman:
The moment he sees that he can't win with words, he resorts to force with
passion. What a mongrel......

Garlot:
Velleman, should we take care of them?

Velleman:
Go ahead, I've seen the extent of his worth. As I thought, I can't use him.

Garlot:
In short, you've picked us then!

Ufufufu... Did I load the shells correctly? I did, right? I read the manual,
but......
Yeah, it'll be fine for sure. Eey, fire~!!

Amazing! Such tremendous power! No one can get close like this!!
This is kind of exciting... Bang them up some more!!

|-Fire in the Hole!-|
|-------------------|

Garlot:
We went to all the trouble of taking this canon... It'd be nice if we could
turn it on the enemy......
..But, how to put this, how does this thing work? Umm, maybe this......
Ah...

-----------------------------------------------------
|-------------------|
| BARRAGE |
|-Fire in the Hole!-|
|-------------------|

Garlot:
It shoots quite well my way. ...Hm? That's some good damage.

Shiskia:
Hang on, Garlot! If you're shooting it recklessly you're just be wasteful! Give
it here.
..Uum, hmm~? How do you use this...
Ah...

-----------------------------------------------------
|-------------------|
| BARRAGE |
|-Fire in the Hole!-|
|-------------------|

Shiskia:
Ahaha, it shot so suddenly. Well, I think it worked out okay, no? Alright then,
at this rate...

Jenon:
Wait, Shiskia. A canon is a boorish weapon. It's not something that girls
should be operating.
I've read books on canons before. I've got a general idea of how to use it. Um,
I believe...
Ah...

-----------------------------------------------------
|-------------------|
| BARRAGE |
|-Fire in the Hole!-|
|-------------------|

Medoute:
What do you guys think you're doing! That thing can be very dangerous if you
don't know how to use it!!

Shiskia:
It's not dangerous! Here, you try it, Medoute. It feels great!!

Medoute:
I- I can't use this thing! Hey, let go, Shiskia!!
Ah...

-----------------------------------------------------
|-------------------|
| BARRAGE |
|-Fire in the Hole!-|
|-------------------|

Medoute:
..............
(It does feel nice. This is really thrilling...)
Eh, what are you waiting for? Don't stop, load the next shell! Now, fireee!!

Shiskia:
Hey... Now Medoute's the most involved...

Pandra:
These damned noble's dogs! For brats you're too damned excitable!!

| | ENEMY HELD OUT A SIEGE
| /\ | Pandra has holed up inside the fortress!!
|/ \|

|-------------------------|
| RUN AWAY |
|-Only I Should be Saved!-|
|-------------------------|

Pandra:
I lead the rebel army for a noble cause! Do you expect me to die in a place
like this!

Garlot:
Pandra ran into the castle! He won't get away!

-----------------------------------------------------
Garlot:
..That's strange. I'm sure Pandra ran inside, you really can't find him?

Medoute:
See, look. What an astounding guy. There's a secret escape passage here.

Velleman:
He's abandoned his subordinates. This is something the rebel army knew of its
leader.
But because they are such people, we were able to advance this far.
Truly there are problems on this side of the empire.
You could even say that a certain portion is decaying.

Jenon:
You say such things, count?

Velleman:
Hm? You mean criticizing the empire? If it's in front of you I don't mind.

Shiskia:
But Pandra hoisted the flag of revolt with these things in mind.
Doesn't that mean he's like us?
They say that an enemy of an enemy is a friend. If we cooperate with each other
we may be able to defeat the empire.

Velleman:
Defeating the empire might not be the best way. Reform is still possible.

Jenon:
Sooner or later, reform with too much bloodshed will end up failing.

Velleman:
Whatever may be, as I understand, the flag they hoisted will lead astray and
derail self-righteous people.
We will likely end up fighting with these men for a while.

Garlot:
..Velleman. Will the flag we're flying lead people astray as well?

Shiskia:
!!

Velleman:
I do not know. I cannot perfectly predict the future.
Do you understand, Garlot? No matter the principle, it can be corrupted. That
is the way of people.
The chance is still great that you can become as corrupt as Pandra.

Medoute:
Huu......

Velleman:
My principles are the same as well. My means and goals might change at any
time.
Because of that one must constantly remind oneself to keep that from happening.
You could say that this too is a fight.

Medoute:
That's true that it's fight.
In a way, it's a fight you may be very bad at, Garlot.

Garlot:
Me...?

Medoute:
You're pure. Yet you feel too much resentment in the world as it is now.
From now on, as captain you will be pressured by various decisions.
And, one by one, these decisions will weigh on you.
And the differences between your ideals and reality will try to crush you.

Garlot:
..............

Shiskia:
It'll be okay, Garlot!
Don't think too much over it! Up to now we managed to get here through
fighting.
Besides, you'll always be you.
And I'll always be with you too! Right?

Jenon:
Yep. And you have excellent friends to make up for everything you're lacking
in!

Garlot:
And what exactly am I lacking in?

Jenon:
To put it bluntly, you're not too smart, and you have no understanding of a
woman's heart.

Garlot:
Keep talking, Jenon.

Medoute:
..............

Aegina:
One moment, sir Jenon. I'll say this because you brought it up, but you've the
same problem.
That is... the point about understanding girls.

Jenon:
Ah, r- really?

Aegina:
Moreover, master Garlot is by no means unintelligent!
It is true that he attacks brazenly without thinking, and uses force before
using words......
But despite all that his heart is in the right place! Do you not think so?

Garlot:
..............

Shiskia:
Ahaha... Right in front of the captain, everyone's so mean~

Garlot:
Why are you guys so mean.
That's it, I've made up my mind. You're all fired!

Velleman:
Sigh, such noisy company. Given a chance they act like children.

Medoute:
Huh, that's right.
(Up until now you've overcome things with the help of your friends.)

Garlot:
Medoute! Say something, tell them.

Medoute:
Sorry Garlot. I'd love to help you, but I've been fired, I believe.
Didn't you say so just now? We're all fired?

Garlot:
Hey! All of you! Aagh!

Medoute:
(And I too am one of these friends......
No, this isn't a bad feeling. Not bad at all.)

Defeat - Out of Cards (1st)

While running an attack on the rebel army that had secluded themselves on Mount
Tokino, Gram Blaze was scattered due to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to
disband...

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (2)---------------------------

In the clash with the main force of the rebel army on the summit of Mount
Tokino, Gram Blaze's captain, Garlot, lost his life, and Gram Blaze vanished
from history's stage...

========================================================================[Map17]
大切な物は何処
Where is the Treasured Item
Duke Barin's Territory

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map17.01]
Gram Blaze, commanded to guard Count Velleman while on business to a city in
Duke Barin's domain, encountering no bandits, safely reached the Duke's domain.

However, during their stay, Count Velleman suddenly ordered them to locate a
man by the name of "Mizer the Barefoot."

Mizer is said to be the leader of a gang of pickpockets that have been causing
trouble for the surrounding towns.

It appeared that the Count too had lost something important to Mizer the
Barefoot.

On orders from an unusually upset Count Velleman, Garlot and company began
their search for Mizer.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map17.02]
Velleman:
Make sure you find Mizer, you got it? Make sure of it!!

Garlot:
We know, we know. Leave the rest to us, Velleman.

Aegina:
That's right, count. Please, wait at the inn.

Velleman:
.....I've lost my composure.

Medoute:
It's unusual for the count to be so upset.

Shiskia:
Well I bet whatever was stolen is very important to him.
Maybe it's a love letter!

Garlot:
What is that.

Shiskia:
Or maybe an exchange journal!

Aegina:
But wouldn't it be better to leave this to the police......

Shiskia:
It's because this is something important!
I know! It must be a music box he got from his first love!!

Medoute:
Eh, it's alright to help Velleman in his personal business once in a while.

Shiskia:
Hmm, or maybe it's a portrait of an unrequited love......

Medoute:
Do you want to stop now?

Shiskia:
Not really.
But it really has to be something from a love affair!

Medoute:
I said enough, Shiskia.

Shiskia:
That's different from what you said, Medoute. You've cared about him for a
while now, right?

Medoute:
Mn?

Shiskia:
Why else would you speak so formally only with him?

Medoute:
Hey now, isn't that perfectly normal? He is our employer, not to mention a
nobleman.

Shiskia:
Let's leave the nobleman thing out of this.
But when you talk to him you get more like a dirty old man that usual.

Medoute:
D- dirty old man...!?

Aegina:
I would agree that it's hard to say it's appropriate for your age.

--HAVE BAIFU
| Baifu:
| Medoute is a dirty old man. Baifu has learned another thing!
-----

Medoute:
N- no way......

Jenon:
Sorry I'm late. I got a poster of Mizer.
Hm? What's wrong, Medoute? Your face is all red.

Medoute:
It's- it is...... nothing.

Garlot:
Huh, he's a wanted man, though the bounty is low. What? 'Mizer the Barefoot'?
...What a lame nickname.

Jenon:
He's always barefoot. Anyways, he's a fast guy from the looks of it.

Aegina:
It would be a nuisance if he were to run.

Jenon:
I found out that he was seen in this town this morning, so I don't believe he's
that fast.

Garlot:
I see...... Alright then, let's start looking for Mizer!

/--Victory--------------
/ Find Mizer the Barefoot!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/

He shouldn't have been able to get too far yet.

Cerica:

Garlot:
Hey, isn't that Cerica?

Cerica:
Ha hah, now you've come to conquer Cerica's secret base!
Is there no end to your cowardice! Cerica will turn the tables on you!

Garlot:
We've got no business with you today.

Cerica:
WHAT WAS THAT! That's super rude!!
I'll kill you!

-----------------------------------------------------
Cerica:
No way, could Cerica seriously have lost to your cowardice today!!

Mizer:
Hah! Do your worst! Boil me, burn me, do whatever you want!!

Garlot:
That's some courage you've got. But we aren't after your life.

Mizer:
Huh? You guys didn't catch me so you could kill me...?

Garlot:
That's not what our job is. We just want to return something you stole.
Of course if you don't return it quietly, we may be ordered to kill you.

Mizer:
Tch, you just want me to return something!? I got it.

-----------------------------------------------------
Mizer:
Hm?　I stole something from a sharp-eyed noble? I don't remember......

Garlot:
Really, in that case should we just seize everything you stole?

Shiskia:
Yeah, you got it illegally, in any case.

Mizer:
The law? You're talking about the law?
Then isn't it also illegal for nearby soldiers to take over when everyone's
obeying?
If you look at the law, soldiers shouldn't be able to collect taxes.

Garlot:
We know about the problems with the soldiers.

Mizer:
Then why are you only judging me?
I don't steal from anyone unless they look rich, and then I give it out to the
poor people.
I might do bad things, but I don't do anything I'd be ashamed of.

Garlot:
.....You're a virtuous thief...

Medoute:
Enough of this talk. Our job is to return our employer's stolen possession.

Mizer:
I said I got it! I value my life after all...
My secret base is in the forest to the west of the town. All our spoils are
there too.

Garlot:
Alright then, Mizer. You'll lead us there.
I'll make sure you stay safe. When we get back the stolen goods, I'll let you
escape.

Mizer:
Really!

Shiskia:
W- wait, Garlot! You sure it's okay to promise that?

Garlot:
I say it's fine, so it's fine.

Medoute:
Is it because you feel you're alike?

Garlot:
It's not that simple, but I won't deny that I do feel that way.

Medoute:
If you understand that, you've grown.
Okay then, let's send a messenger to count Velleman.
No one aside from him knows what was stolen, after all.

Garlot:
That's right, now that you mention it......

Medoute:
I take back what I said before, you haven't grown at all.

Blacksmith:
Mizer the Barefoot...? Yes, I know much about him.
The rougher looking people got forced out, and made a base in the Drominos
Marsh...
Mizer is their boss. He might be young, but he's pretty good, really.
He may pickpocket, but he only goes after bad nobles and government officials,
so everyone is okay with it.
.....Where is he now? Hm, let's see...
The town of Wardneim is nearby, and they have a very strict guard.
Try the towns further east. He may be trying to earn some change there.

| I- I finally got it... the tactics card that I wanted!!
| One day when I'm a great general I'll mow down enemy armies with this...!
| ......Really, it's the best. Just imagining it makes me quiver.
| ...Mmn! You there, what are you doing!
| Well, it doesn't really matter if you're suspicious or not, as long as I can
| test out this card!
| Take this! 'Mantrap'!!
| I- impossible...! The skill didn't work!?
| ...What? This is a 'terrain skill' that's only effective when the enemy is on
| a certain kind of terrain!?
| If you use 'mantrap' on an enemy that isn't standing on a poisonous marsh it
| will only have a bit of power...
| Despite graduating the military academy I still made such an elementary
| mistake. Boo-hoo-hoo...
| It's okay... I was mean to you, wasn't I?
| Please take this card as an apology.
| It was a sudden impulse. Sorry.
|
|---AFTERWARDS
| Sentry:
| When using 'terrain skills' on enemies not standing on specific terrain the
| effect is diluted.
| In the case of 'mantrap' it's got extraordinary power when used on enemies in
| poisonous marshes.
| But outside of that terrain the damage is minimal...
| If you study the terrain before battle you'll be able to demonstrate
| considerable damage.
| But...... I'm really sorry about last time.
| Please keep it secret from my superiors. ...Okay?

|
| Woodcutter:
| Living in this out of the way place, food is certainly something of a worry.
| Though I wouldn't lose to anyone in my ability to chop down trees, trees
| don't fill one's stomach.
| Going to town to buy things is troublesome, and I'm constantly thinking about
| what to do if I can't get any food...
| But then it came to me! There's a forest right next to my home. I can hunt in
| that forest!
| But fighting the animals? They aren't an opponent I'd like to face from the
| front.
| So I made a bow from a curved tree branch.
| And every time I hunted an animal with my homemade bow, my skill with it
| increased before my eyes.
| But while eating the animal meat I began to want some fish...
| Catching a fish with a bow is very hard. So then I took a firm tree, and
| carved it into a spear.
| And every time I caught a fish with my homemade spear, my skill with it
| increased before my eyes.
| But at that time I got tired of eating warmed fish and meat, so I started to
| learn to cook.
| But to cook, one needs a knife. So then I sharpened a stone, and made myself
| a knife.
| And every time I prepared a fish with my homemade knife, my skill with it
| increased before my eyes.
| ......Then I noticed.
| With my ability to use an axe, a bow, a spear, and a sword well, I would make
| an excellent soldier!
| But, well, I hate fighting, so a soldier is something I could never be.
| ...Ah well, I haven't had a chance to talk to anyone for a while, so I ended
| up talking your ear off.
| Thanks for listening to me. It was fun.
| I'd like to give you this as thanks.
| This is the fur from a beast that I've cooked.
| It's okay, don't worry about it. I have so many furs I don't know what to do
| with them.
|
|---AFTERWARDS
| Woodcutter:
| The story I told you doesn't end there...
| So that the furs didn't go to waste I started using them.
| Every time I made something out of a fur, my sewing skill increased before my
| eyes.
| ...I'm fine now with not being a woodcutter anymore.
| If I keep doing so many different things with my hands like this, I bet one
| day I'll reach the sky.

Mizer:
Are you guys dozing? Hey, over here~!

I'm not stupid enough to stop when told to!
The name's Mizer the Barefoot! Don't forget it, you blockheads!

はだしのミゼル
Mizer the Barefoot
Drominos Marsh

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map18.01]
Through a search of Duke Barin's territory, Gram Blaze, led by Garlot,
encountered the master pickpocket, Mizer the Barefoot, and apprehended him
after a pursuit battle.

With Mizer's guidance, they made their way to the Drominos Marsh, the location
of Mizer's secret base where they kept their loot.

Drominos Marsh is known as a dangerous region full of poisonous swamps, steered
clear of even by bandits due to its miasma.

Is the item Count Velleman is looking for really in Mizer's stockpiled loot!?
Gram Blaze set foot into this devilish marsh......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map18.02]
Shiskia:
Uuuuhhh, it's hard to breathe here......

Medoute:
That's because of the swamp's miasma. Be careful. Touching the toxin will
blister your skin.

Shiskia:
Gah, really...... I should have worn something else.

Jenon:
I'd like to avoid a battle here. The soldiers are exhausted.

Velleman:
How long until we get there?

Mizer:
Just a little further.
By the way...... that guy there's the noble you work for?

Velleman:
That's correct, Mizer the Barefoot.

Mizer:
Yeah... I don't recognize him at all. Such a vigilant guy... I couldn't have
stolen something from him.

Velleman:
I'll believe that after I inspect your spoils.

Mizer:
Feh... What a discourteous guy, er, noble.

Velleman:
..............

Shiskia:
.....Garlot, there's an ambush ahead of us on the right!

Garlot:
They caught us off guard! Watch out for arrows! Raise the shields!!

-----------------------------------------------------
Garlot:
Answer me, are you really a virtuous thief?

Mizer:
Keh, we're a pickpocket gang. We don't bully the weak though.
We target the rich and the nobles.
However, I hate the title of 'virtuous thief'. Those are words to deceive
yourself.

Garlot:
..............

Mizer:
When I was a kid we were so poor we couldn't afford to buy shoes......
That's why I can understand the feelings if everyone who's been oppressed.
So that I don't forget those feelings, I don't wear shoes now.

Velleman:
That is why you're called Mizer the Barefoot?

Jenon:
Did you find what you were looking for, Count?

Velleman:
Yes, my pendant was in their mountain of spoils.
Just......

Medoute:
Looks like the count dropped it while in the marsh, and then Mizer's followers
picked it up.

Shiskia:
Eh? Then, Velleman was mistaken that Mizer robbed him?

Velleman:
It seems so.
I apologize for thoughtlessly assuming things. At the time... at any rate, I
lost my composure.

Mizer:
It's okay. I'm a pickpocket. I'm used to people being suspicious.
When you say pendant, you don't mean one with a portrait of a ten year old
girl, do you?

Velleman:
.....Hn.

Mizer:
That's yours, old man? It's not too admirable of a preference.

Shiskia:
Eh... What? Velleman, you wouldn't have a problem with age limits by any
chance?

Velleman:
Hear me, Mizer the Barefoot! This may be abrupt, but I've a proposition for
you!!
Actually I came here previously to look for the group operating in the forest!
How about it! Won't you join my private army and fight with us to change this
country!!

Mizer:
Uh... Huh?

Garlot:
(A distraction......)

Ah, well, how to say this...... It feels like I saw a surprising side of you.

Velleman:
It looks like there's been a misunderstanding. This is a picture of my
daughter.

Garlot:
Daughter? Hang on, you don't have a wife......

Velleman:
We've separated six years ago.
The pendant is from back then. ......This conversation is over.

Shiskia:
Hmm, there are all kinds of people. Well, in retrospect this seems obvious.

Mizer:
Hey, old man. Can you tell me more about what you said before?

Velleman:
I said this conversation is over!

Mizer:
Ah? No, not that. About joining your private army. I'll be paid, right?

Velleman:
That depends on your work.

Garlot:
Hey, you sure it's okay?

Velleman:
What I said before was not meant to deceive.

Mizer:
Whenever I got lost I always picked the way that would earn money.

Velleman:
I don't refuse those with power and purpose. Join if you want.

Mizer:
Alright, I'll help you out! I'll take everyone in one hit!

Jenon:
One hit, you say.

| Medoute:
| Could this place be Mizer's base?
| They built a hut above the trees... Well, if you can see movement in the

| Ooh, a tactics card? Getting it from an enemy base I feel no sense of duty to
| return it.
|
|---AEGINA
| Aegina:
| Huh? Everything hung up around here has the same emblem as Mizer the
| Barefoot...
| Then that means this is Mizer's base, right?
| With so much stuff stashed here, it has to be.
| Is this a tactics card?
| ...We'll have trouble if Mizer uses this. It might be stealing, but I will
| take it.

輸送船襲撃作戦
Raid on a Transport Ship
Duke Barin's Domain - North Shore

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map19.01]
East of the capital, in the domain of the influential Duke Barin, cargo was
secretly brought into the country along the river by ship.

Though the contents of the cargo were unknown, it appeared to be a tribute from
Duke Barin to the Emperor.

Count Velleman ordered the ship to be attacked, and the cargo destroyed. The
objective being to destroy faith in Duke Barin who was presently Velleman's
greatest competitor.

Feeling resentment at Duke Barin for trying to curry favor from the Emperor at
a time of heavy taxes, Garlot and company set a trap at the part of the
transport route near the mouth of the Art River.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map19.02]
Shiskia:
Everything's ready here! The action squad at the mouth of the river is in
place.

Jenon:
If we stick to the plan, the ship will be flooded, and we can stop it
completely.

Garlot:
Now we just have to wait for it to get here...

Jenon:
It'll be bad if it gets out that we work for count Velleman, you hear.

Medoute:
We can't leave any witnesses. The enemy must be completely annihilated......

Garlot:
Yeah... I got it.

Shiskia:
But you know, nobles are really free in their trade.
This tribute is pretty much a bribe, isn't it? To that nasty emperor.
And I bet he's trying to do it using the taxes he collected from everyone too.
Agh, just thinking about it makes me sick!

Garlot:
That's right, we can't just let this go. That's why we're gonna stop it.

Aegina:
In any case, what would they be bringing in specifically from the ocean?

Jenon:
Since it's a bribe or some such thing, wouldn't it be some treasures of gold or
silver?
Otherwise, maybe something like beautiful girls from all over the world.

Shiskia:
Enough, you're thinking like this again!

Jenon:
H- hold on, Shiskia. That was just a normal assumption......

Medoute:
Well, whatever it is, there's no mistake that it's something special.
They did buy it across the ocean.

Shiskia:
..Across the ocean, huh.

Medoute:
There are many countries in the world. Every culture is different. And they
have various special products......

Garlot:
How many countries are there?

Medoute:
No one knows the exact number, But I've been to roughly thirty different
countries.

Shiskia:
T- thirty! No way!

Medoute:
Some of the countries I've been to are small.

Jenon:
Huh... Then, have you been to the Lost Aries as well?

Medoute:
Lost Aries......
No, I've not visited the Lost Aries in my travel......

Jenon:
Huh, that's surprising.
You've traveled so much, I thought you'd have gone there.

Medoute:
..............

Scout:
..Lady Shiskia. The target ship has come into sight.

Shiskia:

The ship has stopped moving.

Garlot:
Good, annihilate the crew of the ship! Advance!

Sailor:

Transport Leader:
We must protect the cargo at all costs! All units proceed with caution!

Abrupt Magical Girl:
Hey, look at me! Over here!

Garlot:
What? What does that weird girl want...

Abrupt Magical Girl:
That ship's cargo has been called for by the Great Pamela!
Got it!? It's fine if human society is piled up in stacks! First come first
served!

Garlot:
What is that girl talking about?

Okay then. I said what I wanted, so my stress is at zero. I'm going ahead to

Medoute:
Were there any leaks?

Garlot:
I think we're okay. There's a separate force of Shiskia's at the mouth of the
river.

Medoute:
It doesn't look like the land route will be problematic. All that's left is to
take care of the troops on the ship......

Garlot:
Shiskia and Jenon went on board. They should be back any time now...

Shiskia:
Garlot, big trouble! In the ship... The ship...

Garlot:
What happened, Shiskia?

Shiskia:
So many undines... they're all... all dead...

Medoute:
Undines!?

Shiskia:
Tied up in chains... and children covered in bruises too......
I- I can't...

Jenon:
They obviously endured cruel treatment.

Medoute:
They, you mean the cargo the ship was carrying...

Jenon:
Probably the undines......

Garlot:
Hold on. Why would they give the emperor undines as a tribute?

Medoute:
Undines from the ocean are rare. Even their bodies are up there with gold and
silver in value.

Aegina:
.....I can't believe this.

Shiskia:
Just how arrogant can nobles be!

Garlot:
I'm in the mood to break that Barin noble's neck right now.

Medoute:
If we could I'd like to as well.
But that can't happen the way Gram Blaze is right now.

Garlot:
We still don't have enough power...... That's what you're saying?

Medoute:
Yes. Power, wisdom. And also we don't have enough of a reason.

Scout:
Lady Shiskia! We found a survivor among the undines on the ship!!

Shiskia:
..Ah? Really!
Is she conscious? What about her injuries?

Scout:
That's...

Survivor:
..Hic. Uueh, I'm here!

Medoute:
Uuh, she smells like alcohol. Hey, are you drunk?

Survivor:
Don't say something so silly...... I haven't even started yet. Hic.

Jenon:
Hey, do you even understand what happened to your friends!

Survivor:
.....I understand.
They've all gone. To the world where I can't reach them...... Hic.
Are you telling me to stop drinking! Gees, humans are so gloomy......

Shiskia:
..Thank goodness. She's okay.

Survivor:
I'm Sleip. ...Hic. Who're you guys?

Garlot:
I'm Garlot. We came here to sink the ship.
We didn't think that the cargo would be undines.

Sleip:
..Hic. Well, it's not like it's your fault that my friends are dead.
I wanna thank you, hic, for saving me. Uueh.
Everyone went away... Even if I return to the sea, there's no one there...

Shiskia:
Garlot, isn't there anything we can do for her?

Garlot:
Yeah, we can do something.

Sleip:
..Hm? You'll take me with you? Hic...

Garlot:
That's right.

Sleip:
Whoo! I'll do whatever job you want. Hic. More importantly! You! You'll join me
in a drink!

Garlot:
Me? Ah, well, sake is a little...

Sleip:
What!? Are you saying, hic, that my sake isn't good enough for you!

Medoute:
These guys are still kids. If you want, I'll join you.

The Price of Protection
Marquis Albert's Dominion - Rural Lands

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map20.01]
The lands of Marquis Albert who lost his life in a conflict with the Divine
Order have been without a ruler for some time.

However, the guardian of Marquis Albert's adopted daughters, Count Velleman,
through loud and continued insistence was finally able to claim their
inheritance.

Garlot, on Count Velleman's orders, went to the Marquis's lands in Velleman's
place to collect the taxes for this vacant period.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map20.02]
Shiskia:
Aagh, I can't believe that our job's collecting taxes this time. I don't feel
like doing it......

Garlot:
Yeah, I've no idea how we ended up on the side that collects taxes.

Aegina:
I understand your feelings.
However, if we don't have taxes we can't hire soldiers, and can't protect the
citizens.

Medoute:
And things such as flour mills and public facilities are built with tax money
too.
So unconditionally declaring all taxation evil is not good.

Garlot:
Well, Velleman did promise not to make the taxes high, so I can at least agree
with that part.

Shiskia:
That's if a noble can use them justly.
You can't expect nobles to use them for anything other than their own
indulgences!

Medoute:
You really hate nobles, don't you, Shiskia.

Shiskia:
There's no way I could ever like them.

Aegina:
..............

Shiskia:
Aah, but you're different, Aegina. You're a friend.

Aegina:
..Will the townspeople really accept us?

Shiskia:
Don't worry about it. You and Luciana are the lord's adopted children after
all, right?

Luciana:
That's true, but we were living in hiding. There was no official announcement
of us.

So you're saying that this will be the first time your existence will be made
public?

Yes.

We'll govern this city ourselves! We'll build the greatest city with no taxes!
You nobles don't interfere!

Medoute:
They want to govern themselves? They do have ideals, but...... Realizing them
will be difficult.

Shiskia:
Really? I'm okay with this. We should discuss it with Velleman.

Jenon:
This town lies between Tiera and the capital. The bandit's won't leave it
alone.

Medoute:
That's right. Moreover, the Empire would never approve of self-government. It's
just a matter of time before they send troops.

Citizen:
Quiet! We've made up our minds!! If you oppose us you're our enemies!

We don't have time to worry, Garlot. Their equipment is not that of normal
civilians!
Here they come!

Aegina:
Master Garlot, the scattered militia are gathering in the center of the city
with reinforcements.

Shiskia:
Are they still trying to resist......

Garlot:
..............

Jenon:
Garlot, I understand that you don't want to do this, but listen to what I have
to say.
I don't think that their equipment is what normal militia should have.
There's something else going on here.

Garlot:
Someone's stirring up rebellion, is that what you're saying?

Medoute:
There were some well trained guys mixed in with the militia. That possibility
should be fully considered.

Jenon:
It could be someone who doesn't like Gram Blaze and the Count. Is that the
position we're in?

Medoute:
That or someone attempting to sow chaos among the Empire's regions......

Garlot:
Either way, those guys are the real culprits, right?
They're the guys inciting the townspeople to fight. I won't forgive them, no
matter who they are!

Aegina:
.....I will not forgive them either.

Luciana:
Disturbing these townspeople's peaceful life......

Medoute:
They may still be hiding in the city somewhere.

Garlot:
Let's head for the heart of the city!

Jenon:
In theory, wouldn't their headquarters be the lord's mansion?
Seizing it should be our first priority!

Defeat - Out of Cards (1st)

In the midst of an unwanted fight with the rebelling militia, Gram Blaze was
scattered due to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to disband...

========================================================================[Map21]
扇げば揺れる麦の穂
Swayed Wheat
Marquis Albert's Dominion - Downtown

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map21.01]
When Gram Blaze came to collect taxes for Count Velleman, waiting for them was
an attack by an armed militia.

For the people it was an uprising for self-government, but for Garlot it was no
more than an unwanted battle.

However, Garlot, thinking of the citizens' mysteriously solid armor, felt the
presence of a secret plot behind the uprising.

To prevent any more pointless bloodshed and to find the ringleader Gram Blaze
continued their march to the center of the city.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map21.02]
Jenon:
I'd like to head straight for the lord's manor, but I'd bet the militia are
lying in wait for us.

Aegina:
The roads in town are not very wide. We will likely not be able to avoid
battle......

Garlot:
I'd like to hurt the townspeople as little as possible. If you can, please
don't kill anyone.

Medoute:
But, Garlot, they will be fighting seriously.

Garlot:
I understand that it's difficult, but please...
I know it's a personal obsession for me......
But I don't want have anyone innocent die. That's the only thing I really want.

Shiskia:
Garlot......

Jenon:
Sigh, your obsession is manipulating us.
But I bet that obsession is mysteriously everyone's obsession.

Medoute:
Then, let's go over the plan. The first priority is to occupy the lord's manor,
which we believe to be their center of operations, is that right?

Garlot:
Yes. Once we're there, we ask for a ceasefire.

Jenon:
After that we just have to find the agitator of this revolt.

Garlot:
That's right, now let's go!

/--Victory--------------
/ Gain control of the lord's manor!!
/ (Move a unit onto the manor!)

Militia:
T- the command center has been taken...

Garlot:
This is a proclamation to all citizens! We didn't come here to rule this city
through armed force!
However, if you point your weapons at us, we've no choice but to fight back!
That's why I ask you to put down your weapons. I don't want to have to kill
anyone.

Militia:
.....And what about the taxes?
I expect as punishment for our rebellion you'll raise our taxes even higher!

Luciana:
What if we make a vow. To never use these taxes for our own profit.

Militia:
!!

Luciana:
We will vow to only use them for the development of the city!
I am Luciana Art Albert.
As my father has done before me, I will see to this.

Militia:
..............

Garlot:
Please, lower your weapons.

Militia
.....I see. Very well.

Blond Mercenary:
Tch, this is why they say not to rely on militia.
If you had more money you could have hired many hard working mercenaries. Like
my stingy client did...

Militia:
S- Sir Inzaghi!

Garlot:
Are you the one inciting the townspeople!?

Inzaghi:
Eh, I'm not really liking this job, but it's not like I can go against the
orders of my client.

Medoute:
I recognize this guy. He's the mercenary Inzaghi, a man that would do anything
for money.

Garlot:
Hey you! Tell us the name of your employer!

Inzaghi:
Hey now, I'm a pro. I'm not gonna give away my employer's identity.

Garlot:
Inzaghi. I won't forget that name.
And I'll find the one behind this that hired him. You can count on that......

-----------------------------------------------------
Citizen:
Lady Luciana, Lady Aegina, everyone, please forgive us......

Citizen:
This all happened because we were tricked by that man, Inzaghi.
He told us that our coming lord was a tyrant.

Citizen:
And he provided us with weapons, telling us that we should take action.

Luciana:
I see......

Shiskia:
That Inzaghi and his employer...... I'll never forgive them!

Citizen:
That Inzaghi... He used us like tools!

Garlot:
Enough!
Everything is his fault you say? No it isn't! You gave him a chance to take
advantage of you, and this is the result!
Accept some responsibility!

Shiskia:
Garlot?

Garlot:
Blood was spilled that didn't have to be. I won't acknowledge that you're that
weak!

Citizen:
..In that case what should we have done?

Garlot:
Fight for your own reasons! Fight with everyone's feelings in mind!

Citizen:
But we are weak. After all, we lost to you in the end.

Garlot:
Don't complain that you're weak!
That's what we're here for. The weak are the ones Gram Blaze fights for!!

Citizen:
.....Master Garlot.

Citizen:
Master Garlot......

Citizen:
I see, I see. We were being foolish.

Aegina:
Master Garlot, I too shall devote my life to the citizenry, and to these
ideals.

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (1st)

In the midst of an unwanted battle with a rebelling militia, Gram Blaze's
captain, Garlot, lost his life, and Gram Blaze vanished from history's stage...

Defeat - Out of Cards (2nd)----------------------------

In the battle with the mercenary Inzaghi who incited revolt, Gram Blaze was
scattered due to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to disband...

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map22.01]
When times are peaceful, the members of Gram Blaze rest at their base at the
outskirts of Tiera as they wait for orders.

Though constantly going from one fight to another felt like business as usual,
there were course days with no duties.

On this day Garlot headed to Tiera, having a reason for his absence, and
everyone else enjoyed a moment's peace. None of them knew at the time, that
silently drawing close to them was an armed group.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map22.02]
Shiskia:
I can't sit still when we don't have a mission. I know that peace is best, but
I've got mixed feelings about it.

Jenon:
Then, shall we go shopping? We did get paid yesterday.
The Nibel scarf shop got new fabrics recently.

Shiskia:
Nibel, huh... Isn't that the noblemen's district? I don't really feel like
going there.
And besides... If I think about the villagers we've seem up 'til now I don't
feel like buying things like a scarf.

Jenon:
I understand. We've seen so many people suffering from taxes and bandits.
It makes one not want to waste money on luxuries.

Shiskia:
Yeah, that's exactly it, Jenon!
(A scarf made of a new fabric...... Which store was it? I want to go! But I
can't ask about it anymore...)

Jenon:
Ah, Luciana! You're in a good mood today. Have you gotten your hair cut?

Luciana:
No, I haven't.

Jenon:
Ah, really.

Shiskia:
How is your leg feeling?

Luciana:
It's doing well, thank you. I can't wait until I can walk without a crutch.
I think I'll try to start rehabilitation soon.

Aegina:
Sister, don't push yourself too hard.

Eudy:
Haah, I want to shoot a cannon. I want to smell gunpowder smoke and have it
cover me from head to toe...
But if I test fire it now and damage the outer wall Velleman will yell at me.

Garlot:
Yo, I'm back.

Luciana:
Welcome back, Master Garlot.

Garlot:
Looks like your leg is doing much better.

Yes, it's doing well. I'm fighting hard, just like Aegina.

Zilva:
.....Be resolute and kill me.

Garlot:
No. There are things I want to ask you.
What is the Divine Order? Why are you after the twins?

Zilva:
Why?
That is my question. Why do you keep interfering!
Originally you should have had no connection to the sisters.
What happened that you protect them!

Shiskia:
Of course we protect them, they're our companions!!

Zilva:
..And what do these companions give you.
With companions you share goals and enemies... That is all they exist for.

Shiskia:
Zilva, you're... What do you fight for?

Zilva:
I am merely a tool of the Divine Order. One does not ask 'why' in the Order.

Garlot:
..Hmm. I thought you were a quiet person, but you're surprisingly chatty.

Zilva:
..!?

Garlot:
I'm glad. You do have some human qualities to you.

Zilva:
Enough, kill me. I will not tell you anything you wish to know.

Divine Order Soldier:
Master Zilva! Please escape!!

Shiskia
Watch out, Garlot!

Medoute:
There was still someone left alive?

Shiskia:
There!

Shiskia:
Are you okay, Garlot!?

Garlot:
Yeah, ouch. That was some tackle.
But if you hadn't pushed me, I'd have definitely been shot.
Thanks, Shiskia.

Shiskia:
Aah, you let your guard down too much!

Aegina:
She got away.

Garlot:
Yeah, it looks like.

Luciana:
She had such lonely eyes.

Shiskia:
Yeah.

--マップ概要 - Map Summary
Gram Blaze's housing, established at the outskirts of Tiera

---------------------Loss-------------------- [Map22.08]
Defeat - Aegina Defeated (1st)

Before the fierce and desperate might of the Devine Order's Zilva, Aegina's
life was lost. The Gram Blaze, crushed one by one, was annihilated...

========================================================================[Map23]
終わり無き復讐
Unending Vengeance
Outskirts of Tiera - Western Highway

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map23.01]
Gram Blaze, through the fruits of their battles around the country and Count
Velleman's fame, rose in rank within the noble circle.

However, Count Velleman was not yet content.

There was a lack of someone experienced in drafting and debating tactics in
Gram Blaze, in other words, someone to be the Count's right hand man.

In Crade Forest west of Tiera lived a prophet who held great power. When Count
Velleman heard rumors of him, he dispatched Garlot to recruit him.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map23.02]
Shiskia:
So, this person Velleman wants us to find, what's he like?

Garlot:
There are rumors of him being a prophet. It looks like long ago he traveled
around the country and showed off his foresight into the future.
However, at the time, the people thought it was nothing more than a show.

Aegina:
You're saying that these predictions have been coming true, then?

Shiskia:
That sounds fairy-taleish. I mean, it sounds so made up.

Medoute:
I've heard about this. He's said to have predicted the death of the previous
Emperor.

Jenon:
Predicting the future, huh...... I agree with Shiskia. This story is hard to
believe.

--HAVE EUDY
| Eudy:
| The Magical Academy too is of the opinion that the future is uncertain.
|
|---DON'T HAVE EUDY
| Aegina:
| Because the future is uncertain it is said that, even with magic, one cannot
| make a reliable prediction.
-----

Garlot:
Velleman too said that this is the power to see the future rather than a
prediction or magic.

Medoute:
I see. If that's true it would be a very valuable asset for us.

Jenon:
But unless we meet him we won't know what kind of person he is, right?
He might be an awful fraud.

Garlot:
Seeing as he lives hiding in a forest I've no doubt that he's someone
eccentric.

Medoute:
As long as we don't run into trouble, it looks like this will be an easy
mission.

Shiskia:
Yeah, that's not gonna happen......

Jenon:
Hm? What's wrong, Shiskia?

Shiskia:
Trouble, see there. Look.

|-Unexpected Enemies!-|

Garlot:
It's the idiot again......

Jenon:
Yep, looks that way.

Cerica:
Hold on, hold on, hold on! Cerica heard that!!
You called Cerica stupid again!

Garlot:
Give me a break.

Cerica:
This time Cerica will take revenge for Commander David!

/--Victory--------------
/ Drive away the revenge obsessed Cerica!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot dies... /
Use up all your cards... /
---------------------/

Cerica:
Cerica has a good feeling about today! Have you prepared?
That's right, did you wash your neck well?

Garlot:
I don't know if it's motivation or what......
But her persistence is astounding......
There's nothing to be done but break through.

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map23.03]
Cerica:
Hehehe, stupid, stupid! You fell for it!
Now, now, the foundation of victory is, of course, a pincer attack!

| AMBUSH |
|-Unexpected Enemies!-|

Cerica's Unit:
Hehehe, Miss Cerica, everything went according to plan!

Cerica:
What will you do now, Garlot? Do you feel cornered yet?
Well, if you bow down and apologize right now, Cerica might still let you be
part of her gang.

Garlot:
Cerica, you really are stupid.
If you split that few forces into two groups, you will all be completely
crushed.

Cerica:
You underestimate Cerica!

|-------------------|
| REINFORCEMENTS |
|-Help has Arrived.-|

Blond Mercenary:
Here we are! So, what about if a group of this size were behind you?

Cerica:
Cerica will make you regret calling her stupid again!

--SHISKIA IS ON THE MAP
| Shiskia:
| When has her small group gotten this big......
-----

Blond Mercenary:
You read too much into the front group! You weren't paying attention!
Hm? What's this, you guys are the ones she wants revenge on?

--SHISKIA IS ON THE MAP
| Shiskia:
| Ah! That man!! He's the one who was stirring up rebellion in Luciana and
| Aegina's city!!
-----

Garlot:
You're that mercenary, Inzaghi! You were after us!

Inzaghi:
No way. This is just a coincidence. My employer today is that girl.
This is unexpected, but I do think I have a chance to pay you back for the
other day!

Garlot:
Today you're working for Cerica, huh. You sure are busy going from one employer
to the next.

Cerica:
Hey! Inzaghi! You've been paid, so stop slacking off and get to work!

Inzaghi:
Yeah, yeah......
Tch, this is why I hate being on the same battlefield as my employer... Stupid.

Cerica:
Did you say something!?

Inzaghi:
I was just getting myself psyched up!

-----------------After Battle---------------- [Map23.04]
Cerica:
How could this be...!

| |
| | THE FIRE YET BURNS BRIGHTLY!
| /\ | Successfully drove off Cerica!!
|/ \|

Cerica:
Why, why won't Cerica's feelings reach!?
If you stretch out your hands you should be able to reach... Cerica just wants
revenge for commander David, nothing else!

Garlot:
Cerica......

Cerica:
The only thing Cerica want is your life! She doesn't need your pity!
Don't forget! So long as Cerica lives, she won't stop hunting you!

|------------------|
| RETREAT |

| Inzaghi:
| The hell!? My employer ran away!!

Garlot:
..............

-----------------------------------------------------
Jenon:
Garlot, here's the battle's injury report.

Garlot:
.....Okay.

Jenon:
Since we're still not far from Tiera we can make a fresh start if we return to
the army housing once......

Garlot:
Yeah......

Jenon:
What should we do, Garlot?

Medoute:
This amount of casualties is not significant enough to warrant heading back.
We should make a separate group and have them escort those with the most
serious wounds.

Jenon:
Is that alright, Garlot?

Garlot:
Yeah, you guys can handle it.

Medoute:
.....Sigh.

Garlot:
..............

Shiskia:
Garlot, is what happened with Cerica troubling you?

Garlot:
You could say that. I've been thinking about the reason Cerica fights us.

Shiskia:
It's revenge, right.
I can understand that idiot's feelings, but she's got no good reason for her
resentment.
We did defeat David, but he was truly an awful person.

Garlot:
I don't have any reason to doubt our beating David either.
But Cerica's resentment is real. And it is true that we killed David.
How should we have fought to spare her feelings?

Shiskia:
.....You're really kind, Garlot.

Garlot:
That's not it.
Besides just continuing the fighting we ended up hurting somebody.
And as the scale of this gets larger, the number of dead will keep increasing.
And that includes our allies too......
Rationally I understood this, but this really brought it home.
Someday...... I might lose someone I care about too.

Shiskia:
..............
What are you saying, Garlot!
We'll be fine. We've got you to protect us.
When I'm troubled by something you're there for me, so when something's
bothering you I'm there for you too.

Garlot:
Huh? Well, I guess.

Shiskia:
There, now, chin up! Captain!

Garlot:
..Keh, stop acting so self-important.

Shiskia:
Eh, if something worries you again, come talk to me, Garlot.

Garlot:
Whatever you say, really.

Shiskia:
I might just be one member of our group, but I'm your friend too.

Garlot:
Yeah, thanks, Shiskia. You're really a dependable friend.
Now let's head back. We've got a prophet to find.

Shiskia:
Yep, we do, don't we.
(A dependable friend, huh.
A friend, that's right, I suppose......)

荒野の村 - Desert Village----------------------------------

Man:
The majority of the people of the Bronquian Empire live between Tiera and the
capital... In other words, they are concentrated in the eastern region.
In the other direction, to the west of Tiera are little, sparsely scattered
towns...
Particularly, as one goes west across the continent, they become more isolated
from the capital. The Emperor's rule does not reach to these lands.
That's why the people of these towns are self-aware that they each stand alone.
This atmosphere of being beyond the capital's rule for so long has built a
tendency for independence.
If the people of these towns were to join together, they would gain strength
from it, and if that strength were to turn into military force...
The capital would be a formidable enemy... A clash would be unavoidable.
Eh? Why am I telling you this, you ask?
If the strength of the west were to gather, the ones it would collide against
would be the frontline of the east, the provincial city Tiera.
I've been thinking about this. About the fighting that could occur and the
enemy you would face.

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (1st)

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map24.01]
On the way to search for the prophet, Gram Blaze encountered and drove back
Cerica's group, who was still after Garlot for revenge.

Their fight, which they branded as for a greater cause, will result in people
getting injured. Having closely learned this truth, Garlot, after being cheered
up by Shiskia, began to see the value of the friends that stood with him in a
new light.

Seeking the man rumored to be a prophet, the party forced their way into the
depths of Crade Forest......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map24.02]
Aegina:
What an awfully deep forest. The sunlight is so sparse.

Jenon:
This prophet must be very eccentric to live in a place like this.

--HAVE EUDY
| Eudy:
| At any rate, this place is too remote. Is this guy touched in the head?
|
| Garlot:
| You're one to talk, getting absorbed in your experiments on that mountain.

Medoute:
You seem to have a terribly negative attitude regarding him, Jenon.

Shiskia:
Aah~ no way, Jenon! Are you thinking that if this prophet joins us you'll lose
your spot?

Jenon:
..Are you saying I'm jealous? Stop it. That's not it at all.

Medoute:
Garlot, The scout has reported in. Just a short walk from here is an ancient
looking mansion.

Garlot:
That's probably it. Let's go check it out.

Shiskia:
Here? Uuh, it's spooky.

Blindfolded Man:
You must be the ladies and gentlemen of Gram Blaze. I have been expecting you.

Garlot:
!!
Who're you! How do you know about us!?

Blindfolded Man:
Who am I, you ask? How disappointing; I had thought that you came here looking
for me.

Shiskia:
Is that a prediction!?

Jenon:
Is there any reason for someone to come here besides to meet him? That's not a
prediction, just a deduction.

Blindfolded Man:
That may be.
And how would you explain my knowing that you're Gram Blaze?

Jenon:
..That's a... a guess.

Garlot:
Right now we can't rule out that option.

Blindfolded Man:
Very well.

Amy:
Huh, aren't you Miss Shiskia?

Shiskia:
You're... The young lady from before!?

Amy:
It's not 'young lady,' I'm Amy.

Shiskia:
Ehehe, sorry, Amy. Why are you here?

Amy:
I'm in the middle of my journey to find my brother.
I heard about a prophet who knows everything and came here.

Shiskia:
I see, then your goal is the same as ours.
(They always say kids have so much energy...)

Blindfolded Man:
Were you acquaintances? What a marvelous coincidence.

Amy:
You know, Mister Nessiah is so amazing! He knows everything!
He was just about to tell me about my brother!

Nessiah:
Concerning that...... The prediction has come to me, Lady Amy.
I am sorry to say, but it looks like meeting your brother would be difficult
right now.

Amy:
Oh... Really...?

Nessiah:
Your brother is locked behind an intricate barrier and cannot get free.

Garlot:
(An intricate barrier? What's he talking about?)

Nessiah:
However, if you are with these people you will be reunited before long.

Garlot:
What's with that prediction!? Why would that happen!

Nessiah:
Strictly speaking it is not a prediction. These are the words engraved inside
my eyelids.

Medoute:
.....This prediction is absolute?

Nessiah:
A small detail can fall out of place. However, I expect it is difficult to
change the larger flow.
Please, think of it as the flow of a river......

Jenon:
I don't believe in it. If that's true then it's deniable that people have free
will.

Nessiah:
Well, each person has his own beliefs. I too do not know which is the truth.

Amy:
So! Is it okay if I go with you, Miss Shiskia? I want to meet my brother!

Shiskia:
I don't mind, but...... Here, ask that mister with the red hair.
He's captain. That means he's really important!

Garlot:
What are you talking about, important!

Amy:
Then, mister captain... Is it okay if I go with you?

Garlot:
That decision isn't up to me, but I will ask our employer.

Amy:
Yay! Thanks so much, mister captain! Now I can meet my brother!

Garlot:
Hold on, I have a name you know, I'm called Garlot......

Amy:
Nice to meet you, mister captain!

Garlot:
This pipsqueak hasn't heard a thing I said......

Shiskia:
That's a good nickname, mister captain.

Jenon:
I agree, mister captain.

Garlot:
You two-!

Amy:
Hah... I hope I meet Gulcasa soon.

Nessiah:
Now, that settles Lady Amy's matter. Next would be Sir Garlot.

Garlot:
What, you even know my name!

Shiskia:
You just said it just now......

Nessiah:
Your business?

Garlot:
Oh, oh yeah, right.
We think that if you're a talented and useful person we'd like you to join us.

Nessiah:
Oh? Right to the point. And, which is it? Do you think I am useful?

Garlot:
Honestly, I don't really know you. It's a little hard to judge based merely on
your predictions.

Nessiah:
If one is part of a private army, having fighting strength should be enough.

Garlot:
Arms alone is not power. We'd like to add your wisdom and experience to our
force.

Nessiah:
If it is power you want, you must win it...

Corpse Warrior:

Medoute:
..He called forth soldiers with magic!? Though, I can't feel any life force in
them.

Nessiah:
A necromancer, commander of the dead. That is yet another identity of mine.

Medoute:
.....A corpse army.

Nessiah:
My wisdom and experience are likely the best in the world. I assure you of
that.
If I were to join you, Gram Blaze would further obtain great power.
That is why it is not for you to decide whether I would be useful or not.
I will be the one deciding here. On whether you are adequate for me to grant my
power to you.

Garlot:
That's some confidence you've got.

Nessiah:
And you as well.
Then, please, just think of this as a test of mine.

Garlot:
I see, sounds interesting. We'll take you on!

Wonderful!
While there is an unrefined edge to them, the qualities you possess are
substantial.
That there are people like you in this world does not seem possible when one
lives a secluded life like mine.

-----------------------------------------------------
Nessiah:
I honestly did not anticipate that you could break through my trial.

Garlot:
When I heard that you're a prophet I imagined you'd be some wrinkly old guy...
But you actually can fight, huh.

Nessiah:
Fufufu... Thank you for that assessment.
My interest in you has grown as well.

Medoute:
But Garlot. What Count Velleman wants is someone to be the brains of this
operation.
What we need is someone who can read tactics and form a strategy for battle.

Nessiah:
A prediction showing the future... It may or may not be true.
Truly at present it is hard to put faith in my predictions.
But even assuming my predictions are not true, I believe I can help you.

Garlot:
I think I agree with that.

Jenon:
Really, Garlot.

Nessiah:
Please, do not worry, Sir Jenon. I highly value the tactics of a strategist of
your caliber.

Jenon:
!!

Nessiah:
Now, let us hurry. It won't be long until the rebel activity in the west shall
grow to a larger scale.
And the time comes for a leap in civil unrest. This is your opportunity to work
on pressing higher and higher.

Garlot:
.....I got it. But first we need to check in with Velleman.

Nessiah:
Very well. And on the way I may get a chance to show my own skills......

Garlot:
Alright, let's get back to Tiera!

Medoute:
..............

Shiskia:
..Huh, Medoute? Is something wrong?

Medoute:
No, it's nothing. Let's go.

--Shiskia vs. Nessiah----------------------------------

| Nessiah:
| ...Hmm. You seem to be an ordinary human with nothing special worth

|

|
| Nessiah:
|I'm afraid I do not understand.

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (1st)

In the battle with a swarm of corpses controlled by the prophet Nessiah, Gram
Blaze's captain, Garlot, lost his life, and Gram Blaze vanished from history's
stage...

Defeat - Out of Cards (2nd)----------------------------

Before the death blow unleashed by the prophet Nessiah, Gram Blaze was
scattered due to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to disband...

========================================================================[Map25]
天意の名の下に
In the Name of God
Istraka Wilderness

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map25.01]
Gram Blaze, having met with the prophet Nessiah in the depths of Crade Forest,
broke through his bizarre trial to defeat a corpse army, and gained his
support.

They were also reunited with Amy, the girl Garlot and his friends rescued
before. Due to Nessiah's prediction that if she is with the private army, she
can meet her brother, Amy too joined Gram Blaze.

Gram Blaze started their journey back to the provincial city Tiera, but on the
way they ran into a certain armed group.

They were a unit if the group that relentlessly pursued Luciana and Aegina -
the Divine Order.

However, luckily this unit was not yet aware of the presence of Garlot and the
others.

Jenon, seeing the opportunity, proposed to spring a surprise attack and
confront the Divine Order.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map25.02]
Shiskia:
..Over here, Garlot. There are the Divine Order guys.

Garlot:
..Yeah, I see them. But they're acting differently today.

Shiskia:
I don't see Zilva. She was always there when they attacked us.

Jenon:
Looking at their movements it feels like they're after something.
They could be after something else. Maybe they're chasing another target.

Nessiah:
The Divine Order...... An underground organization with might that reaches
beyond country borders.

Garlot:
You know of them, Nessiah?

Nessiah:
They perform all kinds of dirty jobs, running the black market, spying,
assassination, and control history from the shadows.
I did not catch he whole story, but it seems that their dogma is wrapped up in
mystery...
And they hold enough power to sway the entire country.

Medoute:
That's very detailed, nicely done. Did you divine that as well?

Nessiah:
This is merely information one can get if they know where to look.

Aegina:
..............

Garlot:
They may be an underground organization, but it's true that they disrupt Aegina
and Luciana's lives.
This time we'll take the offense.

Aegina:
That is a kind offer, Master Garlot, but the dispute with the Divine Order is
the problem of us sisters.

Garlot:
Stop there, Aegina.
We're friends. You being hurt is the same to me as me being hurt.

Aegina:
But......

Shiskia:
Don't worry about it. We're friends, right.

Aegina:
..Thank you, Shiskia, everyone.

Garlot:
That settles that. All units take your positions!

/--Victory--------------

Private Army Soldier:
Preparations are complete.

Garlot:
Okay! Now!

Garlot:
Let's go! All units, commence attack!

|-Time to Regroup.-|

Order Soldier:
..W- we failed!

| |
| | OCCUPIED THE FORT
| /\ | Successfully ambushed the Divine Order!!

Garlot:
That was kinda too easy...... It feels like we scattered rather than beat them.

Shiskia:
Garlot! A messenger's here from the party that went on ahead!! They've spotted
a different Divine Order unit!
The ones that fled from here merged with them.

Garlot:
A different unit...? What's going on?

Jenon:
As I thought, their goal this time is elsewhere.

Garlot:
Anyway, let's go after the remnant soldiers.

Zilva:
.....Hah ......hah.

Garlot:
That's Zilva! Is she the leader of the other unit!?

Aegina:
Wait, their movements don't look right for that. It looks as if Zilva is the
one being chased.

Order Soldier:
Gram Blaze! What timing......
However, our goal is to carry out God's will...... No one is allowed to
interfere.

|----------------------|
| PURGE |
|-We Give Death to You-|
|----------------------|

Zilva:
.....Ugh!

Order Soldier:
Failing time and again to capture the sisters, only to scurry back after each
time...
You have dragged the pride of the Order through the mud! Atone through death!!

Zilva:
........!

Garlot:
Looks like they really are after Zilva!

Aegina:
Master Garlot, I know this is selfish of me......
But please, allow us to rescue Zilva.

Garlot:
But they...!

Aegina:
Being thrown away because you're not needed... Being killed because you're in
the way...
Even if Zilva targeted us, I cannot forgive something like this!

Garlot:
I see. Okay, Aegina. We'll save her!

/--Victory--------------
/ Drive off the assassins and rescue Zilva!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot or Aegina dies... /
Zilva is crushed... /

Nessiah:
Oh? Is that what you have chosen......

Order Soldier:
Gh... ...That woman's death... is the will... of God......

| |
| | THIS LIFE TOO CAN BE SAVED
| /\ | Succeeded in rescuing Zilva!!

Order Soldier:
You heathens... have disobeyed God. Fufufu... You will regret that.
One day... judgment will come...

Aegina:
Enough!
Even if our deaths were a part of God's will, we will defy it and survive!
Your fate is not decided for you! You yourself decide how you live and die!

|------------------------|
| LOSS OF LIFE |
|-One Mere Common Death.-|
|------------------------|

Order Soldier:
What an... awe inspiring... sight... Guah, glory to the Divine Order!!

Zilva:
..............

-----------------------------------------------------
Shiskia:
You got lucky, despite being surrounded so many enemies you escaped with so few
wounds.

Zilva:
..............

Shiskia:
Hang on a sec, I'll treat them for you.

Zilva:
.....Why did you save me. I am your enemy.

Shiskia:
Isn't that wrong now?
The Divine Order was after you too. And the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Zilva:
An enemy is always an enemy, no matter the situation.
..Up until now I have lived knowing no other life than with the Divine Order.
The Order gave me everything. Food, lodging, equipment. And the skills to
kill......
And now I've been expelled from the Order. I have no reason to live...

Shiskia:
You want to die?

Zilva:
Yes, that's fine. Kill me.

Shiskia:
..There, all done.

Zilva:
Didn't you hear me? Do you hesitate because I am wounded?
If so, I beg you. Please, kill me.

Shiskia;
..Hey, Zilva.
Maybe up until now the Order really has been everything for you.
But our lives from this point forward are much longer that up until now.
And besides, there's got to be a lot of things in this world that you don't
know yet!
Look for your reason for living, and change yourself.

Zilva:
..............

Shiskia:
The person I really like changed himself. He used to be really lonely and
violent... but now he values his friends.

Zilva;
..You're saying that if he could change, so can I?

Shiskia:
I can't say for sure, but there is one thing I do know.
If you don't try to change, then you never will.

Zilva:
.....I.

Garlot:
Yo, did you finish the treatment?

Shiskia:
Ah, Garlot. I just got done.

Zilva:
Redheaded man, what do you plan to do with me?
.....Will you kill me?

Garlot:
No, go wherever you want. This is where we part.

Zilva:
What?

Garlot:
As of right now you're being chased by the Order. We have no reason to kill you
anymore.

Zilva:
I won't die...
..Are you saying that now that I am no longer an Order member, I have no
meaning or value?

Garlot:
That's not it.
Stop clinging to others for a reason to live or die. Look for your own meaning
in life.

Zilva:
.....Those words are the same.
..Woman, was the one you spoke of earlier this redheaded man?

Garlot:
Hm? What are you talking about?

Shiskia:
W- where did that come from all of the sudden! Really, geez...

Zilva:
I see, I suppose I'll try to find it... the meaning to my existence.

Garlot:
Yeah. Go for it.

Zilva:
You saved my life. I know I should thank you for that, but...
I will leave it unspoken. The way I am now I know there will be no feeling in
it.
My name is Zilva. It would make me happy if you were to remember it.

Shiskia:
..She left.

Medoute:
Did we do the right thing?

Aegina:
Yes......
I think I understand how she feels.
The Divine Order was like a guardian to her. Having one you believed in try to
take your life... It must be difficult.

Jenon:
I'm concerned that she not become another person constantly after us, like
Cerica.

Medoute:
Eh, I don't think that will happen.

Jenon:
Why do you think that?

Medoute:
I don't know, but the way Garlot is now, I think it'll be fine.

Jenon:
Huh? What do you mean?

Medoute:
Just call it a hunch.

Soldiers' Vacation -Girls' Side-
Outskirts of Tiera - Northern Highway

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map26.01]
Count Velleman, together with the Archduke, left to visit a foreign country,
and for that period Gram Blaze had been furloughed.

Not knowing what to do with the free time, Shiskia, with a comment of a girl
only shopping trip, gathered up the girls and went to the city.

Walking around town, the girls fully enjoyed the time they had to themselves
that they hadn't had in so long.

However, off duty the girls were not attentive. A group of young women was an
attractive target to the gangs of thugs spread rampant through the city......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map26.02]
Aegina:
You've certainly bought a lot, Shiskia.

Shiskia:
I didn't have any chance to spend my salary before.
So I decided, I will use it all up in one day!

Medoute:
And so you bought ten or twenty strips of cloth.

Shiskia:
They're not strips of cloth! They're scarves!!

Medoute:
Jenon was right. When the topic turns to scarves you totally change.

Shiskia:
Mmn, what was that! Are you looking down on me!!

Luciana:
And what did you get, Lady Medoute?

Medoute:
Let's see, I got a short sword, training gloves...

Shiskia:
Oh wow, what elegant tastes.

Medoute:
You understand, huh, Shiskia. Look at this, these loves are a work of art.

Shiskia:
What a serious response.
You're a girl; you're supposed to buy things like clothing and accessories!

Medoute:
Even if I bought them, I wouldn't wear them. It would just be a waste.

Shiskia:
You should enjoy shopping more!

Medoute:
I am enjoying it.
Oh yeah! I found this really exciting thing just now!

Aegina:
Hm... What was it?

Amy:
I wanna know too. What was it, what did you get?

Medoute:
Rations that will stay good for 90 days. I just got six at a discount.

Shiskia:
..Medoute, I'm putting a stop to this for us girls.

--HAVE EUDY
| Eudy:
| Really, please stop!!

Medoute:
S- shut up!

--HAVE EUDY
| Medoute:
| And what about you? I bet you bought nothing but gunpowder.
|
| Eudy:
| No way, don't lump me in with you. I came along to buy glasses.
-----

Amy:
You can buy a cute frilly outfit like mine. I'm sure it'll look good on you!

Medoute:
Ah... I doubt that.

Shiskia:
Kh... Khuhu... that's great! It'll look great! Let's go buy it!

Medoute:
Cut it out with the jokes!

Amy:
What did you buy, Miss Aegina?

Aegina:
I bought sweets for Big Sis.

Luciana:
Ah, I'm so happy.

???:
Yo, girls! You look like you're having fun......

Aegina:
Did someone say something?

???:
Over here! Hey! Here! Here!!

Luciana:

Thug B:
Don't be like that. We'll even treat you, how 'bout it?

Medoute:
Thugs like you don't suit us. Try again with someone else.

Thug C:
Hey now. Won't you at least talk to us for a while...

Medoute:
You're sure persistent. You're all eyesores, so go away, skirt chasers.

Thug A:
..Guaaaagh! That was crap! How dare you mock us, damn it!
Beat them up! And bring every single one back with us!!

Shiskia:
Wow, someone added fuel to the fire. Could you be in a bad mood, Medoute? Is it
my fault?

Medoute:
That's it, enough...... I'll take this out on you.

Medoute:

Shiskia:

Things do seem to be going that way......

Shiskia:
Huh, that's surprisingly pure hearted. Incidentally, which of us are you
talking about?

Thug E:
..............
Hmmm, which one should I pick?

Medoute:
..Enough, die already.

Thug E:
Hyaaaaaaa...... Is there nothing I can do but admit defeat?

No! You mustn't give up!

|-Valiant Blade Delivers its Lord.-|

Thug E:
Y- you're... the Bixcen Brothers!

Thug A:
There is a line that men must not retreat behind, and that is the line of
manliness.
Are you okay with crossing it? Are you okay with losing your pride and rock
solid heart?

Thug E:
..! No- no way. Just a bit more and I would have broken the line of manliness.
That's right... I can do it. Watch me, mommy.

Thug A:
That's it! That's how a man acts!! How 'bout it? In the neighboring peach
orchard shall we exchange vows of the Noble Brotherhood?

Thug E:
Really? I'm so moved!!

Thug A:
Yes. Together we will strive to become the best ladies men!

Thug D:
..You will be the new little bro. Then I too... can be someone's big bro...
Fufu...

Medoute:
..I've had enough of this.
Let's go back to the army housing. I don't expect they'll follow us all the way
to an armed garrison.

Shiskia:
And if they do?

Medoute:
Then we'll just dump hot water on them from the top of the castle walls.

Black Haired Beauty:
You gentlemen there. May I have a minute of your time?

Thug A:
What do you want! We're in the middle of charming girls! If you get in the
way......
Nuah! Mnnmn, such beauty!! I think I'll actually take her.

Black Haired Beauty:
Ah, what a fervent approach. Are you sir strong, by any chance?

Thug A:
W- well. Despite my current appearance, I am the handsome man that won the
sixth place prize in Tiera's Manly Spirit Tournament five years in a row!

Black Haired Beauty:
That's good, right... I am searching for a strong gentleman. Please tell me of
your heroic deeds so that I may write songs of them.

Thug A:
Heroic deeds? Would those be my deeds in the daytime? Or are you interested in
the ones at night? Well, which do you want to hear about?

Black Haired Beauty:
Ah, what is that awful stench? It's gotten a little stronger than before......

Thug A:
Hm? Stench?

Black Haired Beauty:
Don't get near me! It's you! You're the source of that smell!
Ah, I'm sorry. Even if you are a strong gentleman, I am afraid if you don't
take a bath every day I will have to restrain myself.

Thug A:
Huo...? Bath? What's that? Can you eat it? Anyways, about my heroic deeds......

Black Haired Beauty:
I'm sorry, it seems I did not get my meaning across. I will try once again...
Just breathing around you makes me feel ill. Please, get out of my sight.

Thug A:
W- what what what what! You were so cute I let you get me excited!!

Shiskia:
Who's this gothic girl? It looks like she's goading those guys into a fight...

Medoute:
Yeah, honestly I don't get it, but we were the ones who made them mad
originally.
We should help her out.

Shiskia:
Yeah! We finally got to go shopping and have some fun, only to have it ruined
at the last moment...

Medoute:
..By the way, where are our guys?

Aegina:
I wonder......

Luciana:
They left somewhere while we were getting ready to go shopping.

Amy:
I bet they ran away. They must have thought we were gonna make them carry our
bags.

Medoute:
Well, we can't do much about them. We finally got a break. I want to have a
chance to enjoy our shopping.

Amy:
Huh, but Miss Medoute brought it up...

Medoute:
It's okay, we were the ones who made them mad in the first place anyways.
Sorry for getting you involved in this.

Black Haired Beauty:
I am called Eater. I am a minstrel.

Shiskia:
I'm Shiskia. All of us here are member of Gram Blaze.

Eater:
Wow...! Those rumors are of you ladies? Such heroic fighting style... I see, I
see.

Amy:
You're really strong too, Miss! So cool, beating up the enemies with your
singing!

Eater:
..I have seen only ladies so far. Are there no gentlemen in your group?

Aegina:
We're off duty today, so they aren't here.

Eater:
Ah, ah, ah... These off duty gentlemen, are they strong and lovely and
handsome?

Shiskia:
Well, I don't know about lovely, but everyone here is strong.

Eater:
..... Ah, sorry. I would like to meet them once. Could you introduce them to
me, by any chance?

Shikia:
Eh!? Why?

Eater:
I am a minstrel. I am journeying to search for material for my songs.
Every night I...... Ah, sorry. What I meant was that I am quite certain I would
like to write a song about Gram Blaze.

Medoute:
The sun is setting. Instead of standing around talking, why don't we continue
inside?

Eater:
Yeah, that's sensible. Well, don't keep me waiting. Aagh, what an irritating
outfit...
Of yeah, you have anything to eat, huh? I'm starved. Aren't you? Huh?

Shiskia:
Who're you?

Eater:
What're you saying, stupid. I just told you, I'm Eater.

Luciana:
Could she maybe have a split personality?

Eater:
Ah, my bad, my bad. I totally forgot. I turn into a guy at nighttime. Nice. To.
Meet'cha.

Shiskia:
Huh?

Eater:
A guy! When it's night, I turn into a man. Okay? You get it? Aagh, this
clothing sucks, suuucks...

戦士達の休息-Boy's Side-
Soldiers' Vacation -Boys' Side-
Outskirts of the Capital - Arc of Triumph

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map27.01]
Count Velleman, together with the Archduke, left to visit a foreign country,
and for that period Gram Blaze had been furloughed.

The boys, wary at the girls' enthusiasm to go shopping, signed up to
participate in a tournament held at the outskirts of the capital which would
also give some actual combat experience to the new recruits.

Can Garlot and company make it to the end and win the tournament?

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map27.02]
Jenon:
Honestly, I would have preferred to stay behind. I wanted to go shopping with
the girls.

Garlot:
Don't say that. You'd have just ended up carrying their bags.
And besides, doesn't this look interesting? It's a good chance for us to show
what we're made of.

Nessiah:
The captain is correct. If we can make it to the end, Gram Blaze's reputation
will rise all the more.
Not to mention that this is Emperor Soltier's home territory, the capital
Flarewerk.
The reputation granted to the victor will be all the greater.

Jenon:
I wanted us to strengthen our friendship with everyone.

Garlot:
Rather, you wanted to strengthen your friendship with the girls, right?

Jenon:
Oh, come now......

Soltier:
Hm. The high prize money drew in a substantial amount of people.

Lapis:
Your highness... What was your goal in setting up this competition?

Soltier:
I want to see what kind of power these privately operating bastards have.
And if they can be recruited or are strong enough to need watching should they
turn their swords on the empire...

Lapis:
..And if some are talented?

Soltier:
I will consider enlisting them. But that's only if there are useful ones.

Lapis:
I see......

Soltier:
..Hm? That red haired one, I've seen him somewhere before.

Lapis:
He is one of Count Velleman's private army.
I believe they are called Gram Blaze...

Soltier:
Gram Blaze. Raging flame......

Lapis:
It is almost time for the competition to commence.

Imperial Soldier:
This competition will be a held in the form of a tournament. The goal is to
last until the end.
Don't over think it. You merely lead a unit and defeat your opponents one by
one.
Only the leader needs to be defeated. Targeting only the leader is a valid
tactic.
Now let's start the contest. In the first match, Garlot's unit!! Step forward!

Garlot:
Huh, we're up all of the sudden...

Imperial Soldier:
Against them, Inzaghi's mercenary unit!

Jenon:
I can't believe we ended up winning...

Garlot:
What are you talking about? Isn't that the entire reason we came here?

Nessiah:
It is much better than losing. Quite well done, captain.
Now Gram Blaze's fame is likely to increase more and more.

Jenon:
Yeah, about that......
When you entered us did you write us in as 'Garlot's unit?'
They didn't call us Gram Blaze once during the whole competition.

Garlot:
Ah......

Jenon:
That's it. This plan's a failure then?

Nessiah:
Well then, only the captain's fame will grow from this. Fufufu...

There's nothing we can do about this anymore.

Garlot:
You okay? Need a hand, Zilva?

Zilva:
.....Thank you.

-----------------------------------------------------
Zilva:
.....Red, can I have a moment?

Garlot:
Sure, I don't mind. Did you come to make excuses for your loss?

Zilva:
No, I didn't.
While fighting with you again I realized there are things that I don't
understand.
And that's companions. I don't understand why these companions fight alongside
you.
When I fought for the Divine Order they existed for nothing more than to share
goals and enemies.
But it looks like it's different for you. What are companions to you?

Jenon:
The definition of a companion, huh. That is a difficult subject matter.

Garlot:
Sorry, I've no idea.

Zilva:
Huh?

Garlot:
Each time you puzzle over it you get a different answer, don't you think?
It's not something you know, it's something you feel.

Zilva:
..Do you think I too can be one of your companions?

Garlot:
That's......

Zilva:
I know it's selfish. I've tried to kill you many times.
I realize it's a difficult request.
But I feel that if I am with you I will be able to find my purpose in life.

Garlot:
It's not hard at all. Sure, let's be friends.

Zilva:
..............

Jenon:
That's right. I doubt there'll be any problems. I don't think that Aegina or
Luciana hate you personally.

Zilva:
.....You have my gratitude, Red.
Or rather, if we are companions that's not a good way of addressing you.

Garlot:
You can call me whatever you want.

Jenon:
Yeah, how about 'big bro'?

Zilva:
B- big bro?

Garlot:
Cut that out! Zilva might take you seriously!!

Zilva:
Big bro...

Jenon:
Doesn't that sound nice, big bro!

Garlot:
Enough, cut it out!!

Zilva:
..Is this what it's like to have companions...... It feels so warm.

火の粉は集い、大火へと
Sparks Gather into a Roaring Fire
Western Region - Kernuga Farming Community

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map28.01]
As the empire's control was slowly waning in the western part of the empire,
the rebels' influence spread tremendously.

The core group of that rebel army did not hesitate to rob and torment the
citizenry of the empire and beyond.

Nessiah, having thought of that, decided with Count Velleman to confront them,
urging that suppressing the rebel influence will be a quick way to fame.

Gram Blaze sent soldiers to the rebel controlled agricultural city of Kernuga,
only to find a familiar face among the rebels facing against them......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map28.02]
Medoute:
They built a fortress in front of the bridge. It looks sturdy despite being
built so quickly.

Jenon:
Looks like the advance guard is deployed in the fortress.

Garlot:
It's so that we can't get into Kernuga. They must have all the strategic points
covered......

Shiskia:
According to my scout's report they've been exploiting the citizenry for
supplies......

Jenon:
So what are they trying to protect from what?

Nessiah:
..That's enough talking about that for now. They can have any idealism they
wish.
What is important is to destroy the fortress and liberate the city... In other
words, this is a matter of methodology.

Shiskia:
Hmm, okay, let's hear your methodology then.

Nessiah:
..Up until a few months ago the rebel army's movements were merely sporadic.

--PLAYED BF 16
| Garlot:
| That's true...... We've fought then once before, but they didn't leave a big
| impression.
|
| Medoute:
| Their leader Pandra was always ready to run away, so that's understandable.
-----

Nessiah:
Coming here, they have shown a shift in organization.
Particularly, they have shown an astonishing increase in the training of their
troops.
I believe they have recruited a talented person... That is, an ace.

Medoute:
I see. If we destroy this ace, there won't be any reason to fear them.

Garlot:
So then, does anyone have any idea who this ace is?

Nessiah:
Not yet.
However, guessing from the current situation, I believe he may have been a
former military man or an expert mercenary.

Shiskia:
What, can't you foresee who or what kind of guy this ace is?

Nessiah:
Unfortunately, I cannot foresee everything.
Moreover, as I said before even in a prediction something can fall out of
place.
Let us get back to the matter at hand. What I was speaking of was the general
framework on our objective... the strategy.
If we set a strategy, the tactics within the battle will also go our way.
We will also be able to pay close attention to the ace.

Medoute:
.....I see.

Jenon:
Finding out who the rebel army's ace is and where he came from...
It's the duty of Shiskia's squad to patrol and scout for that information.

Shiskia:
..That is true.

Garlot:
Shiskia is our eyes and ears. She always spots danger ahead of anyone else.

Shiskia:
Okay, leave it to me.

That was too easy... Shiskia, any signs of an ambush?

Shiskia:
We're fine over here. I sent out scouts and they're checking out the inside of
the city...

Spy:
L- Lady Shiskia! An enemy knight squad is stationed in the center of the city!
And their commander is......

Leon:
Ha, it's sure been a while. Don't tell me you forgot me!

Garlot:
That's... Leon!?

Leon:
That shaming defeat that surpasses even the scar on my forehead...... I will
clear it away right now!!
All units take up your spears!! This is a death match! Are you ready!?

Shiskia:
Why is that guy in the rebel army?

Lazy, Leaderlike Man:
What's this? You guys know each other?

--PLAYED BF 16
| Garlot:
| You're Pandra! The rebel army leader is here too?
-----

Lazy, Leaderlike Man:
Haha, you're the guys he spoke of. Crush them with all your strength.

Leon:
Shut it, Pandra! Stop ordering us around self importantly like you're above us!

Pandra:
Tch. Such a hot blooded bastard. I'm lending you soldiers, you gotta be more
respectful to me......

Leon:
Keep babbling! Just watch... I'll beat these brats up!!

Garlot:
Leon, huh. We've got a troubling opponent......
Hm? Oh yeah, the ace Nessiah was talking about, would it be him, Leon?

Leon:
Come on! I'll show you that the victory you stole from me last time was nothing

Nessiah:
Our utmost priority should be to liberate the three towns.
Remember, we do have the choice to avoid a head on collision with Leon.

| Leon:
| That bastard, Pandra! Running away alone in the midst of battle, what a

-----

-----------------------------------------------------
Shiskia:
The rebel army fled to the north. Their destination is probably the mountain
town Sharminel.

Garlot:
And it looks like Leon's become one of their members.

Medoute:
Pandra used Leon and his desire for revenge.

Shiskia:
But those two look like they're on bad terms with each other. How long can they
really stick together?

Nessiah:
That is a good point of focus.

Shiskia:
Huh?

Nessiah:
If relations between the two of them deteriorate, the rebel army will
inevitably weaken.

Jenon:
But that's difficult while he's hung up on us.

Nessiah:
Let's return to the topic of strategy.
On the precipitous mountain road there is snow and a fort... That is why
Sharminel is called a natural stronghold.

Medoute:
I've been there once before. It really is a difficult location to assault.

Garlot:
What's worse, Leon will be there... It won't be easy to capture.

Nessiah:
.....That is true.

--HAVE EUDY
| Nessiah:
| ...Lady Eudy, may I have a moment?
|
| Eudy:
| What is it?
|
| Nessiah:
| For this fight...... surely... like so......
|
| Eudy:
| Uh huh...... I see. The terrain is... Mm hm.
| ...............
| Okay! Hey, you're not bad. I can, really? Kyahahaha!
|
| Shiskia:
| Eh? What, what?
|
| Eudy:
| Captain, sorry but I'm heading back to Tiera for a bit.
|
| Garlot:
| What's this about!?
|
| Nessiah:
| I will explain this later. I have asked Lady Eudy to do something that only
| she can.
| This should resolve the issue of assaulting Sharminel.
|
| Eudy:
| Kyahahaha, see you later then!
-----

--DON'T HAVE EUDY
| Garlot:
| However, we can't just leave them to take care of themselves. Let's set out
| for Sharminel at once.
|
| Shiskia:
| Yeah, once you make up your mind, you can only get moving!
|
| Nessiah:
| But we do not have a plan......
|
| Garlot:
| You worry too much, Nessiah. Even if Leon is there, we'll manage somehow.
|
| Nessiah:
| ...............

| That's surprising, you joined the rebel army?

| Medoute:
| Hey you, is your sister okay with this?
|
| Leon:
| That's none of your business!
|

|
| Leon:
| Tch!! Preaching as always!

| Leon:
| Kuku, that was disappointing!
|
| Medoute:
| ...His charge really is a menace, but a return strike penetrates easily...
| Aim for that. Got it?

--Aegina vs. Leon--------------------------------------
| Aegina:
| I feel a tremendous fighting spirit, not like anything I've felt before......
|
| Leon:
| I've got an objective now! I will kill Red!!

| Aegina:
| I will not be beaten so easily!
|

| Little girl, look around you!
|
|---DEFEAT
| Leon:
| It seems you've improved, but it may as well be nothing before the knight
| battalion I've tempered!
|
| Aegina:
| Still a fool... We too are different from before!
-----

--Nessiah vs. Leon-------------------------------------
| Nessiah:
| You would be the Black Knight Leon. I have heard of you from the Count.
| Fufufu...
|
| Leon:
| What a creepy bastard...... My lance will send you to hell!
|
|---VICTORY
| Nessiah:
| Very good. But it would be appropriate to call that strength of yours
| foolhardy!
|
| Leon:
| Why you... Next time it won't end like this!!
|

| Leon:
| Take that! Look away and it won't end in mere wounds!!
|
| Nessiah:
| Your valor is terrific! My my, the progress of humans amazes me...
-----

--Zilva vs. Leon---------------------------------------
| Zilva:
| They say that you are the rebel army's ace.
| In that case, if I defeat you, victory will be ours.
| Let's go......
|
| Leon:
| ......Hm. You seem a little different from Red's flunkies.
| Come on! Woman!!
|
|---VICTORY
| Leon:
| ...!! What precise aim. If there wasn't anyone to take that hit for me, I
| wouldn't have been able to get close.
|
| Zilva:
| Maintain a constant speed of fire. Keep up the volley while they have troops
| and finish them off.
|
|---DEFEAT
| Zilva:
| An error. Retreat for a moment and regroup.
|
| Leon:
| ...Her retreat has no flaws. I'm hesitant to go after them.
-----

--Eudy vs. Leon----------------------------------------
| Eudy:
| What's this? A hot tempered brainless man...
|
| Leon:
| Woman... You're better off not making me mad. Do you want to die while you've
| got your looks!
|
| Eudy:
| Hah, looks like you need to be taken down a notch...
|
|---VICTORY
| Eudy:
| That's some power! Aah, if only I had my cannon. Shell explosions would be
| wonderful!
|
| Leon:
| That's not a thing to be talking so merrily about! Crazy woman!

戦火に立つ修羅
Carnage Amid the Flames
Western Region - Mountain Town Sharminel

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map29.01]
Gram Blaze, having succeeded in liberating Kernuga, chased after the retreating
rebel army and advanced to the mountain town Sharminel, located in the Jiccard
mountain range.

With precipitous mountain roads and hard to traverse snowdrifts, Sharminel was
a naturally fortified city.

Gram Blaze trekked to the mountain region where the rebel army lay in wait.
Waiting for them there was a violent battle the likes of which they had not yet
seen......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map29.02]
Shiskia:
There it is! That's Sharminel.

Jenon:
The town areas are within the frontline fortifications ... And I see enemy
troops on the mountain road.

Garlot:
This place does look hard to assault. The city certainly is fortress-like.

Medoute:
The real problem lies with Leon rather than Pandra.
I doubt he's the type to take up position inside the fortress and wait. He's
sure to come pick a fight.

Pandra:
What's wrong, nobleman's dogs!? Did you get scared of us? If you're gonna run,
now's your chance!!

Garlot:
..If you're going to talk like that, why don't you come out here!

Pandra:
I'm the leader of the rebel army! I've a duty and a mission to protect this
city! My life is the rebel army!
Now come on! This time it'll be your bloodbath!

--HAVE EUDY
| Garlot:
| By the way, Nessiah, I didn't see Eudy... When is she coming back?
|
| Nessiah:
| Worry not, she will return shortly. When she does the enemy's line of defense
| will crumble away.

Leon:
Kukuku, so a panicking commander knows how to beg well enough.

Pandra:
..Shut up in front of the soldiers. Listen up, you'd better clear your status
as a sore loser right now!

Leon:
Look who's talking! Get ready, Red!

| ...Hey, measure its range! It can't reach this far, right!?
|
| Eudy:
| Don't make light of my long years of research. How about I smash a cannonball
| right through your face?
|
| Garlot:
| No, don't, Eudy! The townspeople might get caught up!
|
| Eudy:
| It should be fine, really. Our captain gets stubborn in the strangest of
| situations.
| Oh well, I guess I'll have to restrain myself to blowing up the fortress...
| Yeah, let's start off with a blast! Kyahahahahaha~

Hey, all you guys! Protect Sharminel from the empire's tyrant until the end!
Got it, gather your fighting spirit! Defend to the last!!

Rebel Soldier:
Uooohh!!

Pandra:
(Though, their momentum won't be stopped that easily... I should secure an
escape route.)

Leon:

Pandra:
Guah...! We've taken damage!!

| |
| | FREED A TOWN RULED OVER
| /\ | Mountain town Sharminel liberated!!
|/ \|

Garlot:
Surrender quietly. There's nowhere to run in these mountains!
Depending on what Velleman says, there may still be a way for you to live.
Think it over!

Pandra:
You've got to be kidding...... There's no way I'd ever consent to being paraded
around the empire!

Garlot:
Paraded around the empire? What are you talking about?

Pandra:
..In the past when I was enlisted, I rose to success in my strength alone.
But then a new Emperor was crowned. That was the previous Emperor, Soltier's
younger brother.

Garlot:
Soltier's brother?

Pandra:
The late Emperor, announcing military disarmament, dissolved the army and
ordered the soldiers to return to farming. I was fired.
But in Soltier's age, the military was moved to expand again...... More than
anything, the heavy taxes are proof of it.
Recruited again, then farming again... I'm sick of the country's see-sawing
policies!

Rebel Soldier:
Sir Pandra! The preparations for the retreat are ready!

Garlot:
Retreat? What? Huh, is that a ship? You're using the river to escape!?

Pandra:
Hahahahaha!! All because you were absorbed in a trivial conversation! You've
got many openings!

Garlot:
Hold on, Pandra! That story...

Pandra:
It wasn't a lie. There's no merit to protecting this country... Nor to you for
trying to do so!

Garlot:
You're wrong! It's not the country I want to protect.

Pandra:
I don't care about your opinions. I want to see it ruined. This country won't
be changed for us.

|--------------------|
| WITHDRAWAL |

Make no mistake I will be back. Until then!

-----------------------------------------------------
Shiskia:
Aah, they're gone... That man's a master at running away.

Garlot:
Pandra... He's a victim too in a way......

Medoute:
I guess. But the truth is that under their umbrella of a just cause they go
around pillaging.

Jenon:
Most likely Pandra too became corrupt at some point.
I'm sure that back when he started out he had aspirations much like our own.

Medoute:
It is possible. He is surprisingly popular.

Nessiah:
In any case, we have accomplished our goal of liberating Sharminel from the
rebel army.
We should send a messenger to report to Count Velleman and stay until the order
is restored.

Garlot:
Oh, yeah, right......

Nessiah:
Sigh......

Medoute:
Then, Shiskia, check on how the towns are doing. And Jenon, see to wounded.

Jenon:
Got it.

Garlot:
..............

Medoute:
What's wrong, Garlot?

Garlot:
I was just thinking. I wanted to speak with Pandra some more.

Medoute:
That man is too good at using truths and lies. If you take him seriously,
you'll end up being deceived.
You understand from his conversations with Leon, right?

Garlot:
I suppose......

Medoute:
Garlot, you need to have more confidence in yourself.
Particularly, in front of other soldiers you can't act like this...... Everyone
will worry.

Garlot:
Yeah, I know.

Medoute:
That's how you get when you're down. Even normally you're so frank.
(Although, that is something that everyone idolizes about you.)

Garlot:
But... no matter what I do, I can't control my feelings. Despite understanding
that.

Medoute:
(But will you be able to change the world at this rate?)
Let's head back. We'll be chewed out by Shiskia if we don't get to work.

Garlot:
..That would be bad. Truly.

| Our fellow fairies that live in the snowy lands to the east collect these.
| If you give it to me I'll give you my special thing in exchange~ So...
| ...Huh? You'll trade? Yay! I love humans who understand!
| The tone of this bell has a special power to lower an enemy's fighting

|
|---AFTERWARDS
| Light Mannered Fairy:
| ...Hm? The fairies in the snowy lands to the east I spoke of earlier?
| Strictly speaking they are a different race from us, but, well, we are all
| fairies, so we're on good terms with each other...
| They run a business for humans in a town deep in the snow. For fairies it's
| in bad taste.
| Humans have this trait of enjoying taking a bath in hot water, yes?
| The guys in the east provide that hot water.
| Really, if you heat up water you can have a bath anywhere, how they managed
| to make that into a business...
| Humans really are strange creatures~ Like they say, their happiness is in
| their heads.
| ...Ah, aren't you a human, mister soldier? Sorry, sorry, please pretend I
| didn't say that last part~
|
|---NO ELEMINA MINT
| Light Mannered Fairy:
| Ah? Are you a soldier? And that standard... You are a different group from

| Umm, there's something I want to discuss, could you listen for a bit?
| Actually, the rebel army is trying to cut down these Trees. They need the
| lumber or something.
| But this Tree, the one that's out home? It'll be really bothersome if it gets
| cut down!
| So, we want you to drive off the rebel army~ Do you mind doing that...?
| ...Eh? You planned to do that from the start?

| ...............
| ...No one's watching, so I'll just take a quick dip!
| Aah, that feels so good! My body is getting so warm. Phew...
| Hehe. Sorry everyone, but this is most enjoyable alone! I could make a habit

| Mn? A fog has set in...
| ...No. This fog is laced with warm air. It's steam...

|

| S- Sis!?
| ...............
| N- no one is there...?What was that just now...? Was I seeing things?

---------------------Loss-------------------- [Map29.08]
Defeat - Out of Cards (All)

In the clash with the rebel army occupying Sharminel, Gram Blaze was scattered
due to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to disband...

========================================================================[Map30]
物欲のなせる罠
A Trap for Greed
Ether Canyon - Western Part of the Plank Road

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map30.01]
The bandits infesting the trade route between Tiera and the capital had grown
numerous in the past several months. Not seeing a sign of soldiers to
exterminate them the Empire's stability declined all the more.

With the route bringing them nothing but losses the merchants withdrew one by
one and the Empire's economy froze suddenly.

The commerce city Tiera was at a time of crisis, so Count Velleman ordered Gram
Blaze to suppress the bandits and restore public order.

Garlot and the others deciding to lure out all the bandits together formulated
a plan to spreading false information about a transport of gold bars......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map30.02]
Shiskia:
Aagh, I don't get this job either.
The army should be the ones exterminating bandits.

Jenon:
I understand how you feel. But by doing this we can protect everyone's lives
and property.

Shiskia:
Bandits are bandits. They can attack the army instead of the merchants!

Medoute:
It's a problem of risks and returns. If they attack soldiers their losses will
be heavy, and the things to steal won't be worth very much.

Shiskia:
I guess that's true, but......
Hm? Hang on, then, since we're armed won't the bandits not come attack us?

Nessiah:
It is for that reason that we have spread information that we are transporting
gold.
With the recent halt in trade the bandits must have become quite anxious.

Medoute:
Because they have lost the means to sustain themselves.

Garlot:
Looks like they are pretty anxious. They showed up right away.

|--------------|
| ATTACK |
|-Under Siege!-|
|--------------|

Bandit Leader:
You with the wagon, stop right there!
To cross the Ether Plank Road you have to pay a toll.

Jenon:
A toll? To you? No matter how you look at it, you guys are bandits.

Bandit Leader:
Enough talk. Hurry up and hand over the gold you've got!
..Oh? Looks like aside from gold you've also got some pretty ladies. Heh heh
heh......

Shiskia:
Aagh, I can't stand them. Let's take care of them already!

Garlot:
Yeah.
It's been a while since we've fought someone so obviously evil!

/--Victory--------------
/ Repel the bandits!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/

Bandit Leader:
Kill the men, but don't hurt the girls too badly! And as always, don't hold
back!

Garlot:
I wonder, will that really be enough?

Bandit Leader:
Aeh?

Garlot:
All troops prepare for battle! Don't hold back, got it!

Bandit Leader:
W- what's with these guys? Aren't they just an escort unit......

Garlot:
Huh...... That was easier than I expected.
Hopefully now order will be restored in the surrounding areas, though...

???:
Gheeh! It's over already!!

| ATTACK |
|-Under Siege!-|
|--------------|

Cerica:
Hang on, Inzaghi! This is totally not what we discussed!!

Garlot:
Oh no, it's Cerica again......

Cerica:
Wasn't the plan to surround them and beat them up while they were still engaged
with the bandits!?

Inzaghi:
As usual you're full of complaints... Plans never work out, you know......
But we did manage to set up a pincer attack. Can't that be enough for you?

Cerica:
Cerica is your employer, right? She doesn't appreciate that tone of voice!

Inzaghi:
Gees...... Sorry, Miss Cerica!

Cerica:
Get ready Garlot! This time there's nowhere for you to run!!

Garlot:
It's you who's always running away.

Cerica:
Today...... Yeah, today Cerica will do it!

/--Victory--------------
/ Drive away the revenge obsessed Cerica!!

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot dies... /

Garlot:
It's like she's made it her life's work to chase me around...

Cerica:
Cerica will do it! This time Cerica will surely have her revenge!

-----------------After Battle---------------- [Map30.04]
Cerica:
Why...... Why did it end like this!?

| RETREAT |
|-Time to Regroup.-|

| |
| | THE FIRE YET BURNS BRIGHTLY!
| /\ | Successfully drove back Cerica!!

Cerica:
In that case... Cerica will take you down with her......

Garlot:
Give it up, Cerica! You can't beat me.

Cerica:
That's not true! As long as you don't quit you can't lose!!
The one who survives to the end is the winner! The one who still has fangs that
bite wins! Commander David said so!
No matter the means, as long as you stay alive you can attain victory!

Garlot:
But, Cerica......

Cerica:
Don't say Cerica's name so lightly! It's her favorite name in the world that
Commander David gave her!

|----------------------------------|
| SURPRISE ATTACK |
|-Bewildered by a Surprise Attack!-|
|----------------------------------|

Garlot:
Woah, careful!

Cerica:
Ah!

Cerica's Unit:
M- Miss Cerica! Miss Cerica fell down the cliff!

Garlot:
What an idiot, really......

Shiskia:
G- Garlot!? Why are you jumping in!?

-----------------------------------------------------
Cerica:
..............
Hah, where is this? Where did Garlot go!?
That's right...... Cerica fell down the cliff while lunging at Garlot......

Garlot:
You truly are an idiot.

Cerica:
Garlot! You're...! O- owwww!!

Garlot:
Hold still. That leg is probably broken.
I treated it as best I could, but you won't be walking for a while.

Cerica:
C- coward! Are you going to finish Cerica off while she can't move?

Garlot:
Stupid, if I were I wouldn't have treated it.

Cerica:
..Again with your pity... Cerica hates it!

Garlot:
If I finish you off I'm a coward, if I offer sympathy you hate it. What do you
want me to do?

Cerica:
There's nothing Cerica will accept from the one who murdered Commander David!

Garlot:
I see...
I stole someone important from you. That is true.
No, not just from you. Everyone I've killed up until now had surely had family
and friends.
Because of their hate and sadness the things I've done weigh heavily on me.
There are times when I want to run away from them, but I can't stop fighting.
There are things that I need to accomplish.

Cerica:
..Just what are you trying to say?

Garlot:
Why do you act like a mercenary or a thief?

Cerica:
That's just how it is! There was no other way for Cerica to live besides that!

Garlot:
You don't have parents?

Cerica:
Shut up!

Garlot:
I want to change the world and make it so that those who choose to live the way
you do don't show their faces.

Cerica:
What are you talking about... Cerica doesn't get it...

Garlot:
Until I make a way for that I can't allow myself to die.
But when I no longer have a reason to fight, at that time, I will give you my
life.
Not just for David. To cleanse all the things I've done, I will gladly accept
your judgment.

Cerica:
You're not playing fair......

Garlot:
I'm leaving. ......Later then.

Cerica:
Wait......

Garlot:
..............

Cerica:
Thanks for your help.
Cerica's decided to stop chasing you for a while.
But she will kill you one day...
Until then you can't die.

Garlot:
Yeah, I'll do my best.

| Shiskia:
| Hey, Cerica. Aren't you tired, or something like that, of this revenge?
|
| Cerica:
| Sh......
| Sh- shut up! Something like that can't happen!
|
| Shiskia:
| ...............
|
|---VICTORY
| Shiskia:
| There's something I've been thinking about. Killing David originally might
| have been a mistake.
| ...But, no matter how much I think about it, I don't think it was.
|
| Cerica:
| What does that matter! At the very least, Cerica needs Commander David!
|
| Shiskia:
| ...I know. I completely understand.
| That's why I've decided. As long as we hold on to our righteousness, we'll

--Jenon vs. Cerica-------------------------------------
| Jenon:
| Each time we fight your pain will only grow. It's bitter to think about.

| Cerica:
| What happened to Cerica is bitter! None of you have any reason to feel like

| Villains should just laugh scornfully! Don't make that irritating face!

| Cerica:
| And what if I am!

| Nessiah:

Defeat - Out of Cards (1st)

In the battle with the bandits lured out with false information of gold, Gram
Blaze was scattered due to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to disband...

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (2nd)-------------------------

In the clash with Cerica, who continued to loudly proclaim her revenge, Gram
Blaze's captain, Garlot, lost his life, and Gram Blaze vanished from history's
stage...

========================================================================[Map31]
戻ってきた戦士
Returning Soldier
Waterway Ship Landing

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map31.01]
The plan to lure out bandits through rumors of gold ended in a huge success.

Shiskia and the others worried over Garlot who fell into the canyon. They took
up positions at the exit of the plank road, and dispatched a search party in
order to meet up with him.

However, a clearly different force from the bandits was sneaking up ahead of
them......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map31.02]
Jenon:
It's no good, I still don't see Garlot anywhere.

Medoute:
It's not unusual for those who fall into the canyon to die. We have every
reason to worry.

Shiskia:
..Don't say something like that, it'll jinx us!

Medoute:
Hm?

Jenon:
I'll send another messenger to Count Velleman.
Don't worry, Shiskia. Garlot's not that weak.

Shiskia:
..............

Medoute:
Shiskia, aren't you worrying a bit too much?

Shiskia:
..Sigh, sorry. The thing with Cerica is bothering me.
Why did he jump into the canyon to save someone like her......?
If it were me... Ah, but... Well...

Private Army Soldier:
Lady Medoute, what should we do until Sir Garlot returns?

Medoute:
Hm... right. Could I ask you to secure us some food?

Private Army Soldier:
Should we go hunting?

Medoute:
Yes. It looks like our stay here could get a little long.

Private Army Soldier:
As you wish.

Nessiah:
Yet the longer the time drags on as we search for the captain, the greater our
problems get.

Medoute:
.....What do you mean?

Nessiah:
While there are the problems of food and funds, the real trouble is the chance
of our getting attacked by ruffians desiring gold.

Medoute:
You're saying that bandits could come for us a second or even third time......

Aegina:
But we've brought a considerable number of soldiers to search for Master
Garlot.

Medoute:
Above all the problem is that Garlot, the heart of our group, is gone...

Jenon:
Shiskia! Medoute!! A large force of troops is heading this way!

Nessiah:
Our fears have come true......

Jenon:
From their appearance they don't look like bandits. Their equipment is well
prepared. Could they be that rebel army...!?

|--------------|
| ATTACK |
|-Under Siege!-|
|--------------|

Medoute:
We're in a tight spot... There's nothing else to be done. I'll take command!
Back me up you two!!

Shiskia:
You got it!

Jenon:
Gees...... You owe us one, Garlot.

/--Victory--------------
/ Crush the rebel army!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Any of your units die... /
Use up all your cards... /
---------------------/

Medoute:
Judging by their equipment they really are the rebel army.

Rebel Soldier:
That would be the gold carrying caravan. They have quite a strict guard.
I bet they're carrying a large amount of gold.

Medoute:
Sending troops to get gold... Is there no limit to stupidity?

Lazy, Leaderlike Man/Pandra:
Alright, operation Landing Strike was a success. Really, I didn't think a
surprise attack would go this brilliantly!

--PLAYED BF 16
| Oh? I've seen your faces somewhere before. Aren't you the guys who attacked
| our fortress before?

|
|---HAVEN'T PLAYED BF 16
| You guys are the gold carrying caravan, yeah? Be good and hand over your

| We'll put it to good use. It will become the funding for the rebellion.

Medoute:
Gold? That was all a lie. It was meant to draw out greedy and petty criminals
like yourself.

--HAVEN'T PLAYED BF 16
| If you really are a rebel army how about striking at the imperial armories?

Lazy, Leaderlike Man/Pandra:
Aagh, don't bullshit me. I'm not one to give up from a speech like that.

Leon:
Hey Pandra! You blabber on too long. Get to the fighting already!!

Pandra:
Tch. Such a hot blooded bastard. I'm lending you soldiers, you gotta be more
respectful to me......

Medoute:
Isn't that Leon!?

Pandra:
What's this? You guys know each other?

Leon:
Yeah, a worthless association. Gram Blaze...... I haven't forgotten the
humiliation they've given me.

Pandra:
Humiliation...?
Haha, you're the guys he spoke of. Crush them with all your strength.

Leon:
Look who's talking. Kukuku... This will be your blood bath.
Hm... I don't see Red around... Did he kick the bucket?
..Oh well. Let's get this started.

/--Victory--------------
/ Defeat the rebel army's Pandra!!

Medoute:
Taking down Leon without Garlot will be near impossible......
But there's no other choice!

-----------------------------------------------------
Medoute:
They may just be a rebel army, but their soldiers are well trained. Has Leon
been training them......?
Such a strong enemy, nonetheless...!

Leon:
Tch, this can't be all...! Where's Red? Don't tell me that he really did die.

--SHISKIA IS ON THE MAP
| Shiskia:
| There's no way that he's dead! He's alive, I'm sure of it!!

Garlot:
What's this? You guys got into a fight while I was gone?
Hm? Is that Leon!?
Hey Medoute! What the hell's going on here!?

Leon:
Found you, Red! Hey, Red's my prey. No one else touch him!!

Medoute:
Be careful, Garlot! Leon's after you!!

Private Army Soldier:
Sir Garlot! You're alright!

Garlot:
Yo, sorry for the wait. I'm a little late, but I'll join this fight!

| What the hell are you doing Pandra! Are you really such a coward that you,

|
| Pandra:
| ...The gold transport was a ruse. There's no reason to fight anymore. If you
| want to keep fighting, fight on your own!
| My life's important to the rebel army. I'm heading back to the base!
| Isn't this the time to pull back? If you don't want to die hurry up and

| Leon:
| ...Damn it all!! Red! I'll let you have this battle!!

| RUN AWAY |
|-Only I Should be Saved!-|

Medoute:
..Sigh. We beat them back somehow.

Garlot:
I'd like to go after them... But chasing after a ship is beyond pointless.

-----------------------------------------------------
Garlot:
Was that the rebel army just now? Why was Leon helping them?

Medoute:
I can't say for sure, but from what they said he's borrowing troops from their
leader, Pandra.
Mostly, it looks like Leon is still holding a grudge having lost to our private
army.

Aegina:
You mean from that mock battle?

Jenon:
So he's someone that can't let things go. Just the kind of guy that girls hate.

Nessiah:
His has considerable brute strength. The one we should be weary of most is him
rather than the leader Pandra.
I don't think I would be wrong to say that he played a role in the arrogance of
the rebel army recently.

Medoute:
The source of our problems has grown......

Garlot:
Still, I'm glad that we managed to drive them back this time without any
problems.
We'll think of a way to counter Leon when we get back to Tiera, alright?

Jenon:
You've got my support.

Nessiah:
It would be best to gather information relating to the rebel army once again,
and reassess the situation.

Medoute:
Let's hurry back. Thanks to someone we're behind schedule.

Shiskia:
..............
..Garlot.

Garlot:
Hm? What's wrong, Shiskia?

Shiskia:
There's one thing we're forgetting.
You just jumped off the cliff, all on your own... We were all really worried.
Why would you......

Garlot:
..Ah, well, that was...

Aegina:
No, Master Garlot's safety is first and foremost.

Jenon:
Worrying people is Garlot's special talent.
You owe us one for this.

Medoute:
What happened to Cerica?

Garlot:
She's fine. She injured her leg, though.

Jenon:
Did something happen?

Garlot:
..No, we just talked for a bit.

| Medoute:
| Hey you, is your sister okay with this?
|
| Leon:
| ...Elena has nothing to do with this! Now, take up your weapon!!
|
| Medoute:
| ...Sigh.
|
|---VICTORY
| Medoute:
| You cause her to worry about you when you fight so much. You need to act more
| responsibly.
|
| Leon:
| Tch!! Preaching as always!
|
|---DEFEAT
| Leon:
| Kuku, that was disappointing!
|
| Medoute:
| ...His charge really is a menace, but a return strike penetrates easily...
| Aim for that. Got it?

--Aegina vs. Leon--------------------------------------
| Aegina:
| What sinister fighting spirit. It's certainly not an example I wish to

|

|
|---VICTORY
| Aegina:
| I will not be beaten so easily!
|
| Leon:
| Little girl, look around you!
|

| Leon:
| It seems you've improved, but it may as well be nothing before the knight

|
| Aegina:
| Still a fool... We too are different from before!

--Nessiah vs. Leon-------------------------------------
| Nessiah:
| You would be the Black Knight Leon. I have heard of you from the Count.
| Fufufu...
|
| Leon:
| In that case this chat will be quick! Come on!
|
|---VICTORY
| Nessiah:
| Very good. But it would be appropriate to call that strength of yours
| foolhardy!
|
| Leon:
| Why you... Next time it won't end like this!!
|

| Leon:
| Take that! Look away and it won't end in mere wounds!!
|
| Nessiah:

--Zilva vs. Leon---------------------------------------
| Zilva:
| This man is the rebel army ace.
| If we stop their main force victory will be ours. ...That is my duty.
|
| Leon:
| ...Oh? Interesting. Take your best shot!
|
|---VICTORY
| Leon:
| ...!! What precise aim. If there wasn't anyone to take that hit for me, I
| wouldn't have been able to get close.
|
| Zilva:
| Maintain a constant speed of fire. Keep up the volley while they have troops
| and finish them off.
|
|---DEFEAT
| Zilva:
| An error. Retreat for a moment and regroup.
|
| Leon:
| ...Her retreat has no flaws. I'm hesitant to go after them.

--Eudy vs. Leon----------------------------------------
| Eudy:
| What's this? What a delinquent man...
|
| Leon:
| What!? You in the glasses! If you're not gonna fight get off the battlefield!
|
| Eudy:
| That's a sharp tongue he's got. Someone needs to be taken down a notch...
|
|---VICTORY
| Eudy:
| That's some power! Aah, if only I had my cannon. Shell explosions would be
| wonderful!
|
| Leon:
| That's not a thing to be talking so merrily about! Crazy woman!
|

| Leon:
| How's that, magician! Is that all the strength you've got?

| I have heard much of your efforts! Defeating evildoers and fighting all over

|
|--FIRST VISITED
|| That's right! Since you came all the way out here there's something I would

|| My eldest brother gathered the materials, and my other brother forged them

|
|--FIRST VISITED

|| I forged it out of the ore and timber that my big bro gathered! It would

| You guys are famous, you know? Well, I suppose it's possible that you

|
|--FIRST VISITED
|| Ah, oh yeah! I'll give you something good!
|| It's a harpoon made out of the wood and ore I gathered. It would make an

========================================================================[Map32]
ソルトロード
Salt Road
Mount Tokino - Checkpoint

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map32.01]
Recently the price of salt entering Tiera from the west increased radically.

According to Count Velleman's investigation the imperial administrator
responsible for the Tokino river checkpoint, conspiring with the salt
merchants, placed an exorbitant tax on the salt and was pocketing the profits.

The sudden price jump in the necessary to life salt dealt a serious blow to
Tiera's economy, starting with the livelihood of the Nesar district residents.

On orders from Count Velleman, the private army headed to the Tokino checkpoint
to investigate.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map32.02]
Jenon:
The sudden price increase on the salt we've had recently has really been
bothersome.

Medoute:
And based on the price of salt, the cost of all the other food staples is
rising.

Jenon:
Because salt, together with water, is necessary for life.

Shiskia:
Really, nobles and bureaucrats are so selfish.
Search with all your might, and still you can't grab all the bad guys!

Nessiah:
Yes, but there is a somewhat baffling portion to this matter.

Garlot:
What do you mean?

Nessiah:
For a simple incident of an administrator filling his own pockets this is an
unimaginable amount of money.

Shiskia:
Well then, I'm sure he's pocketing an unimaginable amount of money!

Nessiah:
I do not think that is the case. Would it not quickly come out and he be
caught?

Medoute:
Then what is happening to this unjustly gotten gold?

Nessiah:
It could, for example, be a way to raise money for a kind of influential
power......
In a word, he may be someone's financial backer. It could be favorable for the
administrator that this organization grow large.

Medoute:
Hm. That's quite the bold theory.

Shiskia:
The Tokino checkpoint has come into view.
But... Doesn't something look a little off about it?

Jenon:
A unit's been deployed in front of the checkpoint...

Garlot:
And their numbers are something else.

Nessiah:
It seems they expected our arrival and deployed troops.

Garlot:
I guess we've got no choice.

/--Victory--------------
/ Gain control of the Tokino checkpoint!!
/ (Move a unit to the west checkpoint!)
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot dies... /
Use up all your cards... /

Bureaucrat:
Uuaah, this isn't good! Count Velleman's subordinates are here!
H- hey! Will we be okay!?

Soldier:
We'll defend this location, so please, hurry and fix the books.

Bureaucrat:
I've heard that they can't be bribed......
Aah, yes! Should we just surrender instead?

Soldier:
If the imperial army learns of this we'll all get the death penalty. After that
you can't retreat!

Bureaucrat:
Y- yes, of course. I know that... But still... Mumble mumble...

Garlot:
Everyone ready, advance!

Garlot:
Are you the one in charge of the Tokino checkpoint?

Bureaucrat:
R- red hair! A- aren't you t- that infamous captain Garlot!?

Garlot:
What do you mean infamous! A filthy man like you has no right to say that!

Bureaucrat:
Filthy? W- what are you talking about... I haven't done anything.

Garlot:
We've finished investigating who was behind the high tax on salt long ago!
Who are you passing the money to?

Bureaucrat:
Wh- a- I- I don't know! I don't know anything!

Garlot:
It looks like you don't quite get the situation you've been put in.
Whether or not you live is based only on how generous I'm feeling.

Bureaucrat:
H- hold on! I'll talk, I'll talk! Pandra! I gave it to a man named Pandra!!

Garlot:
Pandra? Hang on... Are you talking about the rebel army's Pandra?

Pandra:
Aah, looks like we're too late...... What a mess, gees.
That's Gram Blaze's standard. Ugh, just how long do they plan to keep getting
in my way?

Garlot:
You're a representative of the empire! What the hell are you doing financing
the rebel army!!

Bureaucrat:
Do you expect me to keep managing this backwater checkpoint for the rest of my
life...... I want to have a magnificent career in the capital.
If the rebel army takes the empire, a seat as the Minister of State awaits me,
their financial backer!

Garlot:
Huh? Are you an idiot...? Did you seriously believe what Pandra told you...?

Pandra:
Achoooo!!
Aagh, someone's spreading rumors about me.
If so, since I'm such a great person, it must be the girls at the capital...
Khehe.
Hah, I've been wanting to get my arms around a city girl for so long now. These
village girls are, well...
..I guess I really do need those ledgers to make that come true. I better make
sure those guys don't get their hands on them...
Alright, let's go!

Private Army Soldier:
Sir Garlot, it's the rebel army! The rebel army force has arrived!!

/--Victory--------------

Pandra:
You've still got the ledgers, right?

Bureaucrat:
Yes, I have them. Please, hurry!

Pandra:
Alright, alright, I'm coming to help.

Inzaghi:
Oh. Oh. Looks like there's some commotion over here. This is a chance for
business!
On one side is Pandra's rebel army. And on the other... Ah, it's Gram Blaze!!

Pandra:
Hey, if it isn't Inzaghi! You've come at a good time.
As you can see it's sword swinging time. C'mon, back me up here!

Inzaghi:
How much are you paying?

Pandra:
Are you nuts, we're in the middle of battle. This isn't the time for
bartering!!

Inzaghi:
You're fighting Gram Blaze, right? My price is... Yeah, 3000 gold pieces.

Pandra:
Settle for 2000.

Inzaghi:
I've heard you've come into some cash lately. How about a deferred payment of
2500?

Pandra:
Damn it, talk about taking advantage... I got it, I'll pay 2400.

Inzaghi:
Tch, such a stringy guy. Well, whatever, the negotiations are done.

Pandra:
.....I would have been better off bringing Leon along.

was talking about!

Bureaucrat:
Uwaaa... H- here they are!

Jenon:
Hm... This is......
Garlot, this is amazing! The contents of this ledger are outrageous!!
The names of the rebel army's financial backers, the flow of the money... This
is all very detailed.
The western region's wealthy merchants, government officials, nobles... Here
look.

Nessiah:
Wonderful... If we get this to Count Velleman he can put it to maximum use.

Garlot:
Then we have what we wanted. Velleman should be able to understand it too.

Jenon:
Hm? What, no way......

Medoute:
What's wrong, Jenon?

Jenon:
.....It's nothing, don't worry.

Medoute:
Really, alright.

Shiskia:
..Jenon, your face is pale. And before, your voice suddenly sounded strained.
Are you okay?

Jenon:
Well, maybe not, just a little... When I looked at the ledger before there was
a name I knew.

Shiskia:
No way... It wasn't Velleman, was it?

Jenon:
Don't worry. It's not someone you or Garlot would know.

Shiskia:
Oh...

Jenon:
(After all, you did say that if the rebel army came into power you would gain
an important office in the administration......
Just how foolish can you get, dad...)

Shiskia:
Let's get going. We'll meet up with Garlot and the others.

Yeah, you're right, Shiskia.

Defeat - Out of Cards (1st)

While assaulting a checkpoint to expose an unfair administrator, Gram Blaze was
scattered due to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to disband...

Defeat - Checkpoint Reached (2nd)----------------------

Pandra:
Alright! One side of the checkpoint is ours!
Everyone rush in together! Overwhelm Gram Blaze!

Garlot:
Damn, we didn't stop their momentum! Is there no way to fix this...

Gram Blaze, clashing with the rebel army who moved to recover the ledgers, were
unable to restrain Pandra's charge into the checkpoint, and their strategy
ended in failure...

帝都軍事演習
Flarewerk Military Exercise
Outskirts of the Capital - Arch of Triumph

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map33.01]
At the outskirts of the capital of Flarewerk, a large-scale military exercise,
sponsored by the Emperor, was carried out.

It was called together under the pretext of gathering the regular army, nobles'
armies, and independent defense groups in order to improve the quality of
public security, but from Velleman and Nessiah's analysis its true purpose was
to reveal any rebel elements.

The imperial decree, calling for the participation of Gram Blaze, reached Count
Velleman as well. Anyone refusing this decree would be branded and judged as a
traitor...

And so Garlot and the others left for Flarewerk to participate in the
exercises...

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map33.02]
Jenon:
That's the Empire's regular army, huh. Aside from Leon's border unit this is my
first time seeing them up close.

Garlot:
That's a well arranged line. Nothing like how bandits are.

Velleman:
Look there, Garlot. That man leading the strongest steel knights in the Empire
is General Baldus.

Baldus:
..............

Medoute:
That's Baldus, the God of War...... I've heard of him, but I've never seen him
in person before.

Velleman:
For his long service supporting the imperial army he was given the name 'God of
War'... He is the man at the peak of the army, so to speak.

Shiskia:
But he's really old too. Are you sure he can command the knights?

Velleman:
He worked his way up to his position crossing the battlefield and in constant
battle. Do not take him lightly.

Medoute:
..Count Velleman. Do you think there's something more to these exercises?

Velleman:
Yes, I fear it is likely meant to gauge the power that nobles possess.
If we nobles have too much power it will make His Highness cautious.
It would be nice if we could score lower and Emperor Soltier did not need to be
weary...

Garlot:
You mean if we held back? That depends on our enemy's ability and fighting
style. It would be difficult in this case.

Velleman:
..Yes, that's true. With an opponent like the God of War...

Baldus:
These nobles' soldiers are to be our opponents... There is no chance that their
training is on par with that of the steel knights.
Ah, Your Highness. Is everything proceeding as you wish?

Soltier:
Baldus. How are the nobles' soldiers looking?

Baldus:
If I could speak plainly, they are coming together.

Soltier:
How about Velleman's men? This Gram Blaze has been a cause of noise among the
people.

--PLAYED BF 27 WITH BALDUS
| Baldus:
| I have crossed blades with that red haired young warrior once.
|
| Soltier:
| Ah, yes. They're the ones who beat you before.
|
| Baldus:
| With all due respect, that time was merely for entertainment. I did not use
| my full strength.
|
|---HAVEN'T PLAYED BF 27 WITH BALDUS
| Baldus:
| ...That red haired young warrior is their captain, I believe.
| Compared with the others they appear to be slightly better.
|
| Soltier:
| But without actually fighting them you can't say how strong a group is. Am I
| right, God of War?
|
| Baldus:
| ...As you say.
-----

Soltier:
Well, whatever. Draw out and gauge their real strength. Understood?

Baldus:
As you command.
Gram Blaze... That name is well known among the people. They are famed as a
righteous army.
Maintaining order, cracking down on wrongdoers... I hear they take initiative
and throw themselves into battles that we should normally be responsible for.
Knowing that they have still been summoned to these exercises...... I do not
understand His Majesty's motives.

Lapis:
Your Highness... Is the true purpose of this exercise to reveal rebel elements?

Soltier:
That is one of the goals. The other is to gauge the strength of Gram Blaze
who've been highly talked about.
Velleman as well, but I feel that in the near future it will be them who will
stand in my way.

Lapis:
Your Highness......

Soltier:
Very well, begin the exercise. First up will be Velleman's army.

Garlot:
We're up first...! Velleman, as I said, holding back will be difficult.

Velleman:
It's fine, Garlot. Give it your all.

Garlot:
You sure, Velleman?

Velleman:
The God of War will be watching. If you hold back he will know.
More than anything I wish to see how you've grown.

Garlot:
You don't need to say anything. I'll show you, Velleman! Just don't fall over
in shock!

/--Victory--------------

----------------------Defeat--/

Baldus:
..No, I will not face someone at the caliber of a noble's army.

Steel Knight Soldier:
Sir Baldus......

Baldus:
First battalion, advance. I will remain in the rear guard.
You should be able to scatter them yourselves. Ready?

Garlot:
What? The God of War isn't coming?

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map33.03]
Steel Army Knight:
..Are they really just a nobleman's army? They've had a considerable amount of
training.

Garlot:
They're really strong. They won't be beaten by the usual means......

-----------------------------------------------------
Steel Knight Soldier:
Sir Baldus...... My apologies, we must retreat!

|------------------|
| RETREAT |
|-Time to Regroup.-|
|------------------|

| |
| | DRIVEN BACK THE ENEMY
| /\ | Victory versus the steel knight vanguard!!
|/ \|

Baldus:
Impossible! The steel knights that I personally brought up and trained have
been beaten?
And the cause of it was my willingness to take a nobleman's pet army lightly...
A warrior should respond to any kind of battle directly and with valor. ...My
conduct has been shameful.
Yet what a heroic private army, no a military force. A splendid army with the
burning blood of warriors.

Garlot:
Huh? What's he mumbling about over there...?

Baldus:
Red haired youth!! I am Baldus! I'd like to ask what your name is.

Garlot:
I'm Gram Blaze's captain, Garlot.

Baldus:
Garlot, that's a fine name! Come, let us do battle!

Garlot:
Very passionate, God of War. I accept your challenge!

/--Victory--------------
/ Crush the steel knight unit of Baldus, the God of War!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot dies... /
Use up all your cards... /
---------------------/

Soltier:
Time for the real battle. Lapis, how does it look to you?

Lapis:
..In experience, Baldus is superior.
In a group battle, the quality of tactics especially is clear in the results.
Currently I do not see that sort of thought process in Gram Blaze.

Soltier:
Looking at this theoretically your point is valid, Lapis.
However, Red...... I have a feeling that there is something more he can do.

-----------------------------------------------------
Baldus:
Your attack is spirited. Not bad, Garlot!
I feel the sleeping warrior's blood within me burning again!!
However, you've yet to see the true meaning behind the steel knights. I,
Baldus, will not be beaten easily...!

-----------------------------------------------------
Baldus:
Both your attack and defense are splendid! I can see why the first battalion
was beaten......
There are people like this outside the imperial soldiers...
Could His Majesty have known of this? Did he throw them at me due to that!?

-----------------After Battle---------------- [Map33.04]
Baldus:
I have witnessed your valor. What marvelous power for ones so young...!
Treating you lightly on your appearance as a nobleman's army was my own
mistake. You have my respect as a warrior.

Garlot:
Same here. I couldn't even feel your age in your movements.

Baldus:
I only ask that you not use that power for wrong.

Garlot:
Well of course. This power is for the people!

Baldus:
People...... Hm, such fine spirit.

|------------------|
| RETREAT |
|-Time to Regroup.-|

Soltier:
It's over! The victory in this exercise goes to Gram Blaze!

Velleman:
Yes!

Garlot:
We did it, Medoute!

Medoute:
Yeah, we did......
(Even if it's just an exercise, we've beaten the God of War...
The way of society sees Gram Blaze will change. We won't be just a private army
anymore...)

Garlot:
Hm? What's up, Medoute? Speak up, this isn't like you.

Medoute:
It's nothing. I just don't know how to say this......
I'm sure you know this, but before we met I was a traveler.
I had an interest in your struggle, and so I fought alongside you up until now.
And I ended up staying too long. I got too comfortable...... But it's about
time I got going.

Garlot:
.....You want to leave Gram Blaze? Is that what you're saying?

Medoute:
I don't mean right this moment.
But I... I am one who began my travels running away from various
responsibilities.
When I think about them, I feel repulsed at taking up a new one.

Garlot:
.....I see, okay. When that time comes tell me.

Medoute:
Thanks......
..Um, could you not tell Shiskia about this for a while?
If she tries to stop me I'm not sure I'll be able to stay firm. Shiskia's just
too cute.

Garlot:
Hahaha, that's true. I got it, Medoute.

-----------------------------------------------------
Baldus:
Your Majesty, I apologize for my disgrace...

Soltier:
I don't mind. It's over and done with. More importantly, tell me about Gram
Blaze.

Baldus:
..First, their individual abilities are exceedingly high. The training they've
had is at the level or higher than the regular army.

Soltier:
And Red?

Baldus:
He is called Garlot. He is a brave knight.
Again, he takes the lead, encouraging others, and exhibits considerable power.

Soltier:
Hm... Can they win in a real battle?

Baldus:
That would depend on the situation. Only, dealing with the steel knights with
brute force is difficult.
If you were to tell us to defeat them we should be able to crush them with
overwhelming force.

Soltier:
I see... That's all, leave us.

Baldus:
Your Highness, if I may, if they are planning to rebel, are you saying......

Lapis:
Baldus, His Majesty told you to leave.

Baldus:
As you wish.

Lapis:
The name of the God of War has been sullied. And while leading the steel knight
elite as well......

Soltier:
Yet I had said so as well. There was only cavalry deployed this time.
And that if one realizes that, defeating them is not all that hard.
(But, what are you, Red? I can't help but think that you're still hiding your
power...)
Lapis, look into Velleman. See what's happening behind closed doors. I'm sure
there's something to find.
Then use that to set up a hearing and summon Velleman to the capital.

Lapis:
..I see. You want me to separate Velleman and Gram Blaze.

Soltier:
No, bring them together. We'll hold them at the capital for some time while we
look into them.

Lapis:
.....As you command.

Soltier:
It looks like no one aside from me notices Red's hidden power...
Now then, what's your next move, Velleman. And you too Red...

守るべきもの
The Ones to Protect
Outskirts of Tiera - Northern Highway

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map34.01]
Shortly after the military exercises at the capital, the Emperor's Imperial
Guard Leader, Lapis, came to Tiera leading troops.

She'd come saying that, on suspicion of rebellion, Count Velleman was to go
before Flarewerk's congress and explain himself.

Recognizing that refusal would justify the suspicion, Count Velleman decided to
obey the order and journey to the capital with his private army.

Yet, at that moment, a shadow of turbulence was approaching the Provincial City
Tiera......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map34.02]
Shiskia:
Why do you have to bring Velleman in?

Garlot:
Is this because we beat Baldus?

Velleman:
Calm yourselves, this is not an arrest. It's a request to appear at a hearing.
I intend to go and prove my own innocence.

Nessiah:
That is correct. We have no reason to feel guilty. We will be able to return
shortly.

Shiskia:
Then why are these guys here to guard us!?

Lapis:
Girl, speak out of line and I will not show mercy.
Defying me, the Imperial Guard Leader of His Highness, Emperor Soltier falls
under treason.
Make enough of a fuss and I will judge you here and now!

Jenon:
Shiskia, we understand, but control yourself.

Shiskia:
Ugh, kh...

Velleman:
Lady Lapis, what will happen after we get to the capital?

Lapis:
That will be decided by the congress hearing.
If the charge clears you will be able to return. But if it doesn't... Well,
please understand.

Velleman:
.....Did His Majesty say anything?

Lapis:
He said he wishes to hear what you have to say. That is all.

Velleman:
I see......

Garlot:
Velleman... What should we do? If we were to make any move......

Velleman:
You mustn't move on your own, understand?
Don't worry Garlot...... I'm sure the Emperor will believe me.

Garlot:
.....Alright.

Imperial Soldier:
L- Lady Lapis! Tiera is...!

Shiskia:
What about Tiera?

Lapis:
Quiet. This has nothing to do with you.

Shiskia:
Yes it does! If anything is happening with Tiera we've got to fight!

Nessiah:
It is faint, but I hear the sound of flaming arrows being fired.
An attack of this scale cannot be done by anyone other than the rebel army.

Aegina:
Tiera is being attacked? Is this true?

Lapis:
.....There's no use hiding it anymore. That's right, the western section of
Tiera, the Nesar District is under attack...

Garlot:
What!?

Lapis:
We've deployed guards on the Cattle Bridge.
The rebel army will not get into the Nibel District. You can depart without
worry.

Shiskia:
You're only going to protect the nobles and merchants? What about everyone that
lives in the Nesar District?

Lapis:
Many rebel soldiers have already made their way inside. It's too late for them.

Shiskia:
Garlot, let's go to the Nesar District. I'm sure we can still make it in time!

Lapis:
Wait! I will not allow that!! You are coming with me to the capital!

Garlot:
What are you saying! The rebel army is attacking the city. We can't just......

Lapis:
All troops! Disarm and arrest Gram Blaze! That is an order!!

Medoute:
Come at us if you want, we're ready as well!!

Velleman:
Everyone, listeeeen!!

Garlot:
.....Velleman.

Velleman:
This is nothing short of a crisis for the Empire!

Lapis:
Crisis... for the Empire...?

Velleman:
You say that the insurgents cannot get into the Nibel District, but is that a
sure fact?
More likely than not, the Nibel District will also fall into the hands of the
insurgents!
The emergency food stores and wealth that the nobles and merchants have stocked
are quite plentiful. And the insurgent force will gain all of it!
And the people struggling in poverty in the Nesar District will be taken into
the rebel army.
And with Tiera in their hands the next target of the rebel army, with their
abundance of funds and force of arms, is clear.
That's right, the Imperial Capital of Flarewerk!
I place the existence of the Empire above my own life......
Lady Lapis, if His Highness grants me death for my decisions here, I will
accept!
Gram Blaze, move out! Go, Garlot!!

Garlot:
I accept your orders! Hear that everyone!

Lapis:
Th- this is Count Velleman......

building after another.

Shiskia:
.....What is ...this? What have the people of the Nesar District done to
deserve this!?

Medoute:
They are the ever present innocent masses swallowed by the fires of war......

Garlot:
..............

Nessiah:
Captain, it does not seem as though the rebel army gains any benefit in
destroying the Nesar District.
Their aim is to provoke us. They likely intend to settle things with us once
and for all here.

Garlot:
Are you saying they set the city on fire just to lure us out!?
We'll vent our anger on them then!

Nessiah:
You will only be doing what they wish in that case.
When you fight emotionally your individual fighting power may rise, but the
group's strength in battle falls 30 percent.
Mass battle consists of tactics, direction, and organized action. Please do not
forget that.

Jenon:
As much as I hate to admit it, Nessiah's right.

Velleman:
Garlot, the priority right now is to rescue the citizens.
I will prepare the Nibel District to receive the refugees. You guide them.

Garlot:
.....That's right. For a moment I let my anger control me and forgot myself.

Nessiah:
Well, that too is a good sign...

Garlot:
Hm? Did you say something?

Nessiah:
No, not at all.

Velleman:
..I leave this to you, Garlot.

Shiskia:
According to the people who got away, the refugees are gathered in the northern
section.

Garlot:
Let's go! We'll smash the rebel army and open a path for the refugees!!

Rebel Army Soldier:
You're late, Gram Blaze.
This area is already under our control! The logistical advantage is ours!!

Garlot:
This is the city where I was born and raised. You've got no advantage here!

Rebel Army Soldier:
That's strange... Their marching is organized. Have they not lost their
composure?

As long as we are alive we can start over. We're grateful to you for saving us.
You are our pride!

Yes, hooray for Gram Blaze! Hooray for Garlot!

Young Woman:
Hooray for Gram Blaze! Hooray for Garlot!

Garlot:
Was that everyone? No one left behind?

Shiskia:
Yeah, we're good.

Medoute:
The people were praising Garlot and us...

Nessiah:
With this you have gained a kind of power that can change the world.

Garlot:
All troops, prepare for battle! Next up is exterminating the rebel army!

Master Pandra! Leon's unit has started preparing for battle!

Pandra:

with strange obsessions like him......

-----------------------------------------------------

Leon:
The bastards! What worthless underlings...
No... I too am a worthless bastard.

Garlot:
Leon, you've lost! Drop your spear and surrender!!

Leon:
..Don't kid with me. I'm a warrior! You think I'm gonna get on my knees for
anyone!?
The only time I'll get on my knees is at the moment of my death!
Even if my spear is broken, I'll fight on with my teeth! This is far from
over!!

Pandra:
That bastard, Leon, that's it for him......
Well, whatever. I've got to give it to him for tiring them out.
Hey! All units advance to Cattle Bridge! We're storming into Tiera!
Those pathetic nobles' fortunes! Food! Booze! Women! Country! We, the rebel
army, will take them all!

Rebel Army Soldier:
Yeah, Master Pandra! Where would we be without you!

|-------------------|
| GO |
|-Glory on the Way.-|

Garlot:
Those guys...... They're no different from common thieves.

Leon:
Hey, Pandra!! I haven't lost yet! You're the leader, go back and boast at the
fortress!!

Pandra:
I don't care in the slightest whether you've lost or not.
You're just a sacrificial pawn to lure Gram Blaze into the Nesar District and
tire them out.
My goal was always the upper class Nibel District!

Leon:
........!!

Pandra:
But I'm grateful to you Leon. For making the rebel army strong that is!

Garlot:
Are they planning to cross the Cattle Bridge!?

--JENON IS ON THE MAP
| Jenon:
| This can't... Right now the Nibel District would be in chaos with the Nesar

Garlot:

Leon:
Wait, Garlot! You haven't settled things with me yet.

Garlot:
This isn't the time for this, don't you get it!

Garlot:

-----------------------------------------------------
SHISKIA IS ON THE MAP

Shiskia:
Holding back someone heading for the bridge... It reminds me of that time with
David...

Garlot:
Since then we've gained strength, wisdom, and honor.
We'll stop him for sure...... I won't let our past become meaningless.

Shiskia:
..Yeah, Garlot. We won't lose here!

-----------------------------------------------------
PANDRA IS AT HALF MORALE

Pandra:
I sent Inzaghi to stop you, and Leon to divert and exhaust you, yet those tools
had hardly any effect?

Garlot:
How can you call your subordinates tools!?

Pandra:
Hey, don't misunderstand, those two aren't subordinates.

-----------------------------------------------------
Pandra:
What? No way...!
Shouldn't they have been exhausted after fighting Inzaghi and Leon!?

| |
| | THE EVIL FALLS BY ALL MEANS!
| /\ | Don't let Pandra get away with burning the city!!
|/ \|

Garlot:
Pandra!! You who set the city on fire and hurt the people are not qualified to
speak of rebellion!
I'm taking you prisoner! Don't move from there!!

Pandra:
E- eeeek!
..C- c- crap. These guys are bad news...!

Rebel Army Soldier:
What are you doing, Master Pandra!

Pandra:
E- eeeek---!!

Garlot:
He's using his subordinates as a shield to escape!

|------------------|
| RETREAT |
|-Time to Regroup.-|
|------------------|

Pandra:
..C- c- crap.

Garlot:
Wait, Pandra!!
Damn, he got away.
Damn it... How is using people struggling in poverty rebellion!

Leon:
It's just as you say, Red.

Garlot:
Leon...

Leon:
He... Pandra doesn't have the qualifications to lie that he's leading a
rebellion.
Wielding words to intoxicate his subordinates, and then using them as pawns
like that...
Defiant spirit, political power, food and clothing, women and liquor... He uses
it all.

Garlot:
Why did you help someone like that?

Leon:
I don't know.
Maybe I was jealous of what you had, or maybe I wanted to wash away the
humiliation of my loss. All I know is I hated you.
And at such a time I met him, borrowed soldiers, and made defeating you my
life's goal.

Garlot:
..............

Leon:
Pick up your spear, Red. Let's settle this once and for all.

Garlot:
This fight is about you, then.

Leon:
That's right. Holding back is pointless. Let's go!

/--Victory--------------

----------------------Defeat--/

Garlot:
Though, how will you fight with just one unit?

Leon:
I told you......So long as I have fangs I will fight to the bitter end.

Garlot:
I remember someone a lot like that.

Leon:
Hm?

Garlot:
Nothing, just talking to myself. I just thought that once again this fight
can't be avoided.

Garlot:
You too, as expected.

Leon:
..Red, I lost. But allow me beg for my life.

Garlot:
Huh?

-----------------------------------------------------
Jenon:
If possible, tear down the buildings that aren't burning to prevent the fire
from spreading!

Medoute:
It's possible that there are rebel army survivors remaining. Avoid moving
around without anyone armed.

Leon:
..............

Garlot:
You said you wanted to beg for your life. But you can't go back to the rebel
army.

Leon:
..I don't plan to go back to Pandra. But there's something I forgot at their
base. I want to go back and get it.

Garlot:
Are you insane? If you go back you'll be killed.

Leon:
That's why I want to borrow your fastest horse. I want to get there before
Pandra.

Garlot:
I can't believe you're that shameless.

Leon:
Please!! That thing is something I don't want to lose.
When I get it back I'll return and you can kill me. I promise.

Garlot:
Leon......
I get it. Take the horse called Haseo. Go.

Shiskia:

Garlot:

Shiskia:
He's strong. If we end up fighting again......

Garlot:
I don't think it'll happen.
And besides, if it does happen I'll be happy to beat him up again.
But calling his little sister a thing... He's really quite rude.

| You can't, it's too late!!

| Pandra:
| Their fighting spirit still hasn't dropped? How could that be......
|
| Jenon:
| That's simple. It's because this is our city!

--Medoute vs. Pandra-----------------------------------

| Medoute:
| Don't you dare speak of justice!!
|
|---VICTORY
| Pandra:
| Guaagh! How's she this strong!?

-----

--Aegina vs. Pandra------------------------------------
| Aegina:
| Using powerless people as a shield... that is unforgivable!

|
| Nessiah:
| You shall soon see the result yourself.

| After all, you would not even make a good pawn for me.
|
| Pandra:

|
|---VICTORY
| Eudy:

it all!!

狂戦士の叫び
Mad Knight's Roar
Mount Tokino - Mountain Stronghold

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map36.01]
As Gram Blaze was assisting with Tiera's reconstruction an unexpected visitor
appeared before them. It was the Black Knight Leon's younger sister, Elena.

Leon had gotten Elena out of the rebel army base, and together the two of them
spied on the rebel army movements in secret.

According to the girl, it seemed the remnants of the rebel army were in the
midst of gathering in the Mount Tokino stronghold.

In order to meet up with Leon who stayed to keep watch, and settle things with
the rebel army, Gram Blaze hurried to Mount Tokino......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map36.02]
Elena:
If you continue up this mountain path there's a fort.
Ever since brother joined the rebel army I've been under their protection here.

Medoute:
That's not protection; it's having a hostage to tie down Leon. That man is
shrewd as always.

Garlot:
I see. Now I understand one of the reasons why Leon was used by the rebel army.

--PLAYED BF 16
| Shiskia:
| Huh? This is the place where the rebels' frontline base was......
| We should have dismantled it better the last time we were here.
-----

Elena:
That's strange. The plan was to meet up with brother around this area......

Nessiah:
We should take the worst case scenario into account. The rebel army may have
already......

Elena:
!!

Jenon:
Nessiah! How can you say such a thing in front of Miss Elena!!

Nessiah:
Jenon, There is something I have been wanting to say to you.
You insert emotional arguments into your tactics. You cannot obtain the world
that way.

Jenon:
What...... And how is that bad.

Garlot:
Enough, this is not the time to argue over such things.

Nessiah:
Yes, that's true.

Jenon:
..............

Elena:
I apologize, Sir Jenon. You were merely worrying about me.

Shiskia:
Garlot, the scout is back. It looks like Leon's been surrounded!

Elena:
Brother, is brother alright!?

Pandra:
Leon... You put a personal grudge above the plan during the invasion of Tiera
and ran on your own judgment.
That is what led to our defeat. How about you pay for that now......

Leon:
You used me, made me fight, and now you're gonna pin the blame for your loss on
me. Your talk is worthless, Pandra.

Pandra:
Shut it. You just can't die without getting the last word in, can you?
By the way, where did you send Elena off to? I wanted her.

Leon:
I'd never tell you bastard......

Pandra:
Oh well... All troops, take up your weapons! Execute Leon!!

Leon:
I'm fine with that, come at me. In the end a military man falls bravely!!
But come at me expecting to die. I'll be taking the lot of you with me.

Pandra:
Do it! The one who deals the killing blow to Leon will get 500 gold pieces!!

Medoute:
That man... Is he planning to die here?

Elena:
He can't be......

Shiskia:
Don't worry Elena. We're here, after all.

Garlot:
That's right. All troops, advance toward the mountain top! Rescue Leon!!

/--Victory--------------

----------------------Defeat--/

Leon:
The Emperor executed my parents, scared my forehead.
You've done nothing but use me...
Looking back I don't even know if I accomplished anything... Those days are
empty.
But despite that... No, because of that! I fight, kill, as a warrior, and I'll
die as a warrior too!!

| | THIS LIFE TOO CAN BE SAVED
| /\ | Successfully met up with Leon!!

Leon:
You! Why did you come here! Did you come to laugh at the way I die?

Garlot:
Don't hurry to your death, Leon! I came to tell you that!

Leon:
..Are you saying you're here to save me? Keh, I refuse. I've no desire to owe
any debts.

Garlot:
And what will happen to Elena? She's lost her parents, how are you saying she
should live having lost you too?

Leon:
..That doesn't concern me.

Garlot:
Don't act tough. If that was true why did you make her flee?

Leon:
.....Damn, this is complicated. That's why I left her for you to take care of!

Garlot:
Enough already! Live for Elena's sake.

Leon:
What...?
Hey, shut it!

Pandra:
Hey, wait, Red. He's already decided to die.
So just let him die. And you can pull out your troops. Well? That way
everyone's happy.

Leon:
You shut up, Pandra!!

Pandra:
Ngh......

Leon:
Garlot. No matter what you say, there's nothing for me but fighting. I can't
live any other way.
..Take care of Elena for me.

Garlot:
My life used to be like yours, you know. I couldn't live without fighting.
Let's fight on. Elena will be with you, and so will we.

Leon:
..Wait, hang on.
I see, kukuku... That's right, fine.

Garlot:
Yeah.

Leon:
I see. You came to lend a hand and save me that way. You've got my thanks,
Garlot.

Pandra:
W- what!? They're not supposed to come here to work together!!

| | THE EVIL FALLS BY ALL MEANS!

Garlot:
You've got nowhere to run this time, Pandra, I'm taking your life here!

Pandra:
..I won't let you kill me! I won't die in a place like this!

Leon:
Aren't you a former soldier? This is completely unmanly. Accept it already.

Pandra:
I will survive! Even if the God of Death raises his scythe I'll definitely find
a way to survive......

Garlot:
And where are you gonna run? You're backed against a cliff. Give up.

Pandra:
I will liiiiiive!

|-------------------------|
| RUN AWAY |
|-Only I Should be Saved!-|
|-------------------------|

Leon:
Is he thinking of running down the cliff!?

Pandra:
Even if the chance is miniscule, I will always choose the way where I survive!!
Uaaaagh!!

-----------------------------------------------------
Shiskia:
It's no use...... We couldn't find Pandra.

Medoute:
Either he escaped or he miscalculated and died on the way.

Leon:
To the end I still don't know whether he had any guts or not.

Elena:
Brother!

Leon:
.....Elena.

Garlot:
This stage is over with.

Nessiah:
Now all that's left is to see if Count Velleman will be punished......
There is no replacement for refusing summons to the capital.

Shiskia:
But it would be nice if our dealing with the rebel army this time canceled it
out...

Jenon:
Huh, that's unusual. Shiskia's worried about the Count.

Shiskia:
Huh... No, that wasn't what I meant.

Garlot:
Our first priority is rebuilding Tiera. The rest we'll have to speak to
Velleman about.

Jenon:
It'll be difficult from now on to take missions fighting everywhere.

Shiskia:
..Huh, really. I wonder what will happen to us. The future got hard to see all
of the sudden.
But you know, back before when we were the Blazing Outlaws we'd only be running
around Tiera......
We've gotten quite famous.

Medoute:
Yes, you've gained strength. ...The time really has come.

Shiskia:
Hm? What was that?

Medoute:
..It's nothing.

Garlot:
..............
Anyway, there's no point starting any discussions right now.
Let's get back to Tiera.

--HAVE ZILVA
| Zilva:
| Um... Captain... There's something I wanted to talk about. Can you spare me a
| few minutes?
|
| Garlot:
| Huh? Sure, what is it?
|
| Zilva:
| ...............
| ...The Divine Order movements have been worrying me a little.
| Ever since I left my contact with them has suddenly stopped. ...I cannot
| understand the reason for this.
|
| Aegina:
| That's true, they even know the location of the army housing... That is
| strange.
|
| Garlot:
| Maybe they don't have any more force of arms left?
|
| Zilva:
| That is not likely......

歴史は夜、動く
History Waivers in the Night
Tiera - Nibel District

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map37.01]
The private army hurried to Mount Tokino and saved Leon from being purged.

Pandra, being at a disadvantage, abandoned his troops and withdrew from the
battlefield. Whether he lived or died remains unknown, but the rebel army
collapsed then and there.

Once Garlot returned to Tiera he was given new orders.

He was instructed to guard the mansion while Velleman conducted a top secret
meeting with a certain character.

As the anxiety ran high, helped by the scrutiny from the capital, a turbulent
shadow ran through Tiera......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map37.02]
Jenon:
You know, the rebel army came and attacked us this time, but......
I expected the Nibel District guys to refuse the refugees, but they accepted
them without any trouble.
I honestly didn't see that coming.

Garlot:
Yeah, Velleman's a really good mediator......
But the Nibel District guys have started to change as well.

Jenon:
The rift between the Nibel District and the Nesar District has shrunk, you
mean?
If that's true I'm glad.

Shiskia:
Could it be that the results of our fighting are starting to show......
I'm happy when I think about that, but honestly I don't really have much of a
feeling about it.

Garlot:
Up until now we've been desperately rushing ahead. We hadn't had a chance to
look back...

Aegina:
When you rush desperately, the faster you go the more brittle your feelings
become, and your spirit breaks easily......

--HAVE EUDY
| Eudy:
| I can understand that. A canon is the same; if you shoot it continuously the
| barrel becomes useless.
-----

Aegina:
But we've rushed this far without anyone breaking. To me that is a thing worth
being proud of.

Shiskia:
I see, our fight's become a little for everyone's sake...
But you know, there's no way any of us could have made it this far alone.

Jenon:
That's right, everyone here supported each other.

Garlot:
But our work isn't over yet. From now on we'll be even busier.

Shiskia:
That's it in a word. Everyone, keep watching out for each other just as you
have been!

Medoute:
..............

Leon:
Hey, Garlot. While you've been chatting away I've felt a sense of danger
prickling at my skin.

Garlot:
Can you tell how many or where from?

Leon:

--HAVE ZILVA
| Zilva:
| I believe there are considerable numbers. They seem to be scattered as well.
-----

Jenon:
Garlot, why not split up into two units, one to search for the enemy and the
other to continue keeping watch?

Nessiah:
Focus overly on protection and your defense will crumble, focus overly on
searching and you leave yourself open to enemy attacks. That is a good idea,
Jenon.

Garlot:
Alright, some of us will go search the surroundings, the rest will defend the
mansion. Got that?

Velleman:
Good work. The meeting ended without incident.
Though it seems like there was some trouble out here......

Garlot:
A group of assassins attacked. They were organized too.

Velleman:
I see. One really can't say that things have gotten easier.

Garlot:
Velleman, about this current situation, can you tell us who you were meeting
with?

--A ROUTE - 会談は各地の...
| Velleman:
| This meeting had representatives of the people from all regions of the
| Empire.
| They were proposing forming an alliance against the Empire.
|
| Garlot:
| They're planning to start a rebellion?
|
| Velleman:
| Within the country's structure there are many who sympathize with rebellion.
| Their strength is not like Pandra's though.
| That's right, this is about revolution.
| These are simply the people who did not agree with Pandra.
|
| Nessiah:
| Of course not. With such methods as his......
|
| Velleman:
| And a proposal came up to make Garlot the supreme commander of the
| revolutionary army.
|
| Garlot:
| Me? Supreme commander!?
|
| Shiskia:
| Wow, Garlot!? Commanding a revolutionary army that surpasses Pandra's group?
| With us at the core that nasty emperor doesn't stand a chance!
|
| Garlot:
| Me......
|
|---B ROUTE - 会談の相手は...
| Velleman:
| The meeting was with an emissary of the Empire.
| It looks like the peace in the western region we thought we finished with is
| deteriorating again.
|
| Nessiah:
| I suppose the former rebel army soldiers, having lost Pandra, have turned
| into a mob.
|
| Velleman:
| It is unknown whether Pandra is dead or alive. It may very well be him using
| this situation as a chance to return to power.
|
| Shiskia:
| Him again? Aagh, well, you can't say it's not either.
|
| Velleman:
| Gram Blaze has been issued an order to restore the peace.
| Concurrently, it is no longer necessary to attend a hearing.
|
| Shiskia:
| Ah, that's great.
|
| Velleman:
| I will use this as an opportunity. I want to go around the various cities in
| the west and build connections with the influential people there.
|
| Jenon:
| While quelling rebellion in those areas, you mean.
|
| Velleman:
| That's right. As always Gram Blaze will accompany me as an escort.
| I'm counting on you, Garlot.
|
| Garlot:
| Okay, we'll return to the army housing and prepare for the journey at once.
|
|---C ROUTE - この話は...
| Velleman:
| I would like for you to keep what I'm about to say quiet. His Highness
| Emperor Soltier has fallen ill.
| It is a life-threatening illness.
|
| Garlot:
| What, the Emperor?
|
| Velleman:
| For generations the Emperors of Bronquia have carried out a contract with the
| demonic dragon Brongaa and governed the country in the name of its power.
| His highness's illness is a side effect of that contract.
| The uncertainty of our rejecting the hearing summons is one cause of the
| deterioration of the Emperor's condition.
|
| Shiskia:
| That nasty Emperor is the one behind all the misgovernment, right? This has
| to be divine retribution.
|
| Nessiah:
| This is a big problem. His Highness, the Emperor has not yet had an heir.
|
| Medoute:
| It's obvious that officials with an eye on their own interests will start
| disputing over succession.
|
| Velleman:
| If another Pandra emerges from that, we will certainly see civil war. Our
| country will fall into turmoil.
| We must prevent His Highness from dying of illness at all costs. And those
| are the wishes of the capital as well.
|
| Nessiah:
| Yet, if this illness is entwined with the demon dragon a doctor will not be
| able to cure it.
| We'll need a priestess or shaman with knowledge of the contract and of
| techniques.
|
| Mysterious Woman:
| That would be why I was called here.
| Nice to meet you, members of Gram Blaze, and of course Captain Garlot.
|
| Garlot:
| ...............
|
| Mysterious Woman:
| I have heard rumors of you all.
|
| Shiskia:
| ......And you are?
|
| Velleman:
| This is Lady Beatrine. She has been studying the demon dragon in the far
| eastern lands of Lost Aries.
|
| Medoute:
| In Lost Aries......
|
| Velleman:
| I would like to introduce her at the capital as a healer for the Emperor.
| As always I'm counting on you to escort us on our journey there.
|
| Garlot:
| ......Yeah, okay.
|
| Beatrine:
| I am pleased to be working with you.
|
| Garlot:
| (I have this feeling like I've met her somewhere before......)

うつろう時の中で
In the Changing Times
Outskirts of Tiera - Private Army Housing

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map38.01]
Due to the battle with Gram Blaze Pandra fled, abandoning his army, and the
rebel army suffered a definitive collapse.

But Pandra's army was not the only ones seeking to overthrow the Empire.

All over the country, volunteers waiting with bated breath began to rise up
with the intent to form a new rebel alliance.

And among the candidates for supreme commander of the army, Garlot's name stood
above the rest.

But Garlot was still deciding. He was wondering if, in accepting the position
of leading the rebel alliance, he could really make the world that he
wanted......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map38.02]
Garlot:
..............

Shiskia:
What's up? You look down.
You know, once you start to worry you get all wrapped up all alone and get
depressed.

Garlot:
..Yeah, I suppose.

Shiskia:
Is it about the rebel alliance?

Garlot:
.....Yeah.

Shiskia:
Our group's gotten big, huh. Back when we started the Blazing Outlaws it was
just the three of us.

Garlot:
You and me... And of course Jenon.

Shiskia:
But now we have so many companions! And the food and tools for weapon
maintenance we had then don't even compare with what we've got now.

Garlot:
We've been lucky.

Shiskia:
And strong too!

Garlot:
Ha ha, can we really say so ourselves...

Shiskia:
..............
..Are you gonna take up the position?

Garlot:
I haven't decided yet. What should I do......

Shiskia:
You mean, you want to consult with me? I'm glad~

Garlot:
In all honesty I feel that if we keep fighting as a private army like this,
eventually I'll achieve my goal.
And if we're with Velleman we can do things properly. I believe he's of the
same opinion as well.

Shiskia:
Yeah. I used to think that nobles were awful too, in the beginning, but now I
don't think so as much......
Ah, but only a bit! I really don't like them or anything!

Garlot:
This coming from someone who hates nobles. Velleman's really trustworthy, huh.

Shiskia:
Garlot?

Garlot:
What...?

Shiskia:
Um... I......

Garlot:
Huh? Yeah, what is it?

Shiskia:
Um, uum... So about the alliance then...

Garlot:
Oh, that. Yeah?

Shiskia:
Honestly, I'm scared.
I get this feeling that everything we've build up until now is gonna suddenly
change.
But if you look at our goals, then it seems like forming a rebel army and
destroying the Empire would work too.
But, you know, I don't know which is better. That's why I'm worried.

Garlot:
That's what's troubling me too.

Shiskia:
I see. ...Then I guess we're a pair of worriers.

Garlot:
Worriers? What?

Shiskia:
You know, someone who worries! That's common sense, isn't it?
Anyway! You're the one who has to decide, Garlot.
But, we're having a consultation. No matter what you choose I want to keep
lending you strength.

Garlot:
..That's right. I'm happy to hear you say that.

Shiskia:
Leave it to me! After all I'm Shiskia, Captain Garlot's number one...
..............

Garlot:
..What is it, Shiskia?

Shiskia:
It's nothing...

Garlot:
No it's not, what's wrong?

Voice Echoing in the Night:
..Archers! Let loose your arrows!

|-----------------------|
| VOLLEY |
|-Thousand Arrow Storm!-|

Shiskia:

Garlot:
Archers!? And so many too!?

Baldus:
Gram Blaze! For the crime of planning rebellion I will judge you right here!!

|--------------|
| ATTACK |
|-Under Siege!-|
|--------------|

Garlot:
That's... Baldus! Then that means they're the Imperial Army......

Baldus:
A rebel alliance army... If it comes into existence it would put the Empire in
jeopardy.
And if you are at the center there will be more than just the usual
gathering...
If I knock you over here and now that will be the end of it! I will bet my life
on that!

Garlot:
..How did our plans get out?

Jenon:
Garlot! Shiskia! We've been surrounded.

Amy:
Miss Shiskia, it's dangerous there! Quickly get back inside!

Nessiah:
Let us barricade ourselves in here and buy time to think of another plan.

Garlot:
Okay. Come on Shiskia!

/--Victory--------------
/ Survive Baldus's attack!!

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot dies... /
Shiskia or Jenon dies... /

---------------------/

Garlot:
If we're in a situation like this, then has Velleman already...
No, I'll trust that he got away.

Baldus:
Gram Blaze, such talented men like yourselves are a regrettable loss to the
Empire.
But if you stand on the same battlefield as I as an enemy I will show no mercy!

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map38.03]
|-----------------------|
| KILLED IN ACTION |
|-A Warrior has Fallen.-|
|-----------------------|

Baldus:
The frontline troops have been annihilated...... But we mustn't panic. Our side
has far more military force.
What wins a siege battle is not creativity but perseverance. Do not forget
that......

|-----------------|
| SORTIE |
|-Follow my Lead!-|
|-----------------|

| |
| | UNTIL THIS LIFE BURNS OUT
| /\ | The Imperial Army still maintains the offensive!!
|/ \|

Garlot:
There's no end to them... Is there no way to destroy them?

Jenon:
It's too dangerous. Our enemy is Baldus the God of War. He's not an opponent
who'd allow that to happen easily.

Garlot:
I get that, but at this rate we'll be overcome by the difference in resources!

Nessiah:
There must be a good way to counterattack, or possibly a way to open an escape
route... One of the two.

Shiskia:
In that case I'll make an escape route.

Jenon:
..Shiskia!?

Garlot:
Hang on, that's my role. I'll go!

Shiskia:
Calm down. I'm not gonna go through that large force; I'm not one to think I
could handle that.

Garlot:
Then, what do you plan to do?

Shiskia:
There's a river running behind the building, right? And that river is
surprisingly deep...

Jenon:
That's right! If we had a ship we could escape by the river.

Garlot:
Bu there's a chance that Baldus's troops are waiting in ambush. The probability
is pretty high...

Shiskia:
That's why I'll be the one to go. I'm the eyes of our army, remember? Leave
finding the hidden enemies to me.
And on top of that, since my unit's armor is light, our likelihood of being
discovered by the enemy is low.

Jenon:
But that doesn't change the fact that it's dangerous. If they suspect anything
they could cut off the escape route.
No matter what happens we should make at least some attempt at an attack at the
enemy. Meaning that we'll be the diversion.

Shiskia:
And while you do that I'll secure an escape route. It's settled then!

Nessiah:
Take this amulet. After you have secured an escape route squeeze it tightly
three times.
Once you do that the amulet I have will react.

Shiskia:
That's a handy thing to have.

Garlot:
Shiskia... Be careful.

Shiskia:
I know, thanks.
Once I secure a ship I'll make for the other bank of the river and scout ahead.
Let's rendezvous in the Istraka Wilderness to the north.
..I'll go on ahead and wait for you.

/--Victory--------------
/ Buy time until Shiskia secures an escape route!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot dies... /
Shiskia or Jenon dies... /
Use up all your cards... /
---------------------/

Garlot:
Jenon! We won't let them place a foot past here!

Jenon:
Right! We won't budge an inch!

Baldus:
They have been driven into a corner, and yet their spirit is overflowing.
What determined conviction, such thirst for life. No matter how this goes they
certainly won't give up.

-----------------------------------------------------
Shiskia:
I have to stay alert... there may be enemies in the housing grounds as well.

-----------------After Battle---------------- [Map38.04]
Shiskia:
Looks like I made it somehow. The river's current isn't far off, so I should be
able to dive in and cross here.
There's a ship! I didn't have to search any longer.
So, I'm supposed to squeeze this amulet three times......
It's glowing dimly. Does that mean it's working?
Okay, I'm going on ahead. Everyone, stay safe......

| |
| | THE BATTLE CONTINUES!
| /\ | Shiskia has reached the escape point!!
|/ \|

Nessiah:
Hm...... The amulet is reacting. Seems that the escape route has been
successfully secured.

Jenon:
Phew, good......

Garlot:
Alright then, let's start the evacuation with those who have not joined the
front lines so that the enemy doesn't notice.

Jenon:
First up are Luciana and Aegina. And Amy.

Aegina:
Sister, do not worry. I'll be right here.

Luciana:
Thank you Aegina... Shall we go, Amy?

Amy:
Miss Shiskia is waiting for us ahead, right?

Jenon:
We're the last ones, Garlot.

Garlot:
Now, what should we do? They could notice our movements here at any time......

Jenon:
Then, let's set these grounds ablaze. If we do that we can buy time.

Garlot:
That's a good idea. Let's do it!

|-----------------|
| ABLAZE |
|-Castle on Fire!-|
|-----------------|

Baldus:
They have set fire to the place......

Imperial Army Soldier:
What an inferno...

Baldus:
I see. They finally understand that it's the end. All troops fall back. Stand
ready for an assault.
The final attack is always formidable......

-----------------------------------------------------
Garlot:
The enemy has fallen back a bit. I guess they won't pursue us.
Your plan of using fire is working great so far, Jenon.

Jenon:
General Baldus is an honest soldier. If we start a fire he'll think that he
should be vigilant of an attack.

Garlot:
What, really? That's all he'd plan for?

Jenon:
Yep......

Garlot:
Unbelievable......

Jenon:
That's rude, Garlot.

Garlot:
..............

Jenon:
The compound is burning...

Garlot:
I'm sure this is because we spent a lot of time here, but watching this scene
stirs some deep emotion inside me.
Though of course, the most important thing is our friends. This time we made it
through without losing anyone.

Jenon:
..Yeah, that's right.

Garlot:
Okay, let's get out of here. We shouldn't keep Shiskia waiting.

Jenon:
I wonder if Velleman is alright as well.

Garlot:
You know him. I'm sure by now he's gotten far away and is making plans for a
counterattack.

別離
Parting
Istraka Wilderness

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map39.01]
Gram Blaze had been surrounded after the Imperial Army caught wind of the
formation of the rebel alliance, and the army housing crumbled in flames.

Gram Blaze, in order to meet up with Shiskia who had gone on ahead, advanced to
the Istraka Wilderness that lay northwest of Tiera.

However, on the way, communication with Shiskia had come to a stop.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map39.02]
Jenon:
Haven't you found Shiskia yet?

Scout:
My apologies...... But although we've searched the agreed on location we have
found no sign of a liaison.

Jenon:
There's no way that could be! You must have been in the wrong place!!

Medoute:
Jenon, calm down...... This problem won't be solved by hurrying.
Let's add more members to the search party. And look for foot trails. It may
take time, but there is nothing else we can do.

Garlot:
But if we split ourselves up anymore we'll end up too scattered.

Jenon:
What are you saying, Garlot! Aren't you worried about Shiskia!! Well? Which is
it!!

Garlot:
What? Are you kidding me! Of course I'm worried!!

Aegina:
Stop, you two! Fighting won't solve anything!!

Jenon:
..............
.....Sorry, Garlot.

Garlot:
No, I snapped too.

Search Party:
Master Nessiah! We have found an armed body up ahead!

Nessiah:
From their equipment, can you tell whether it's an army or bandits?

Search Party:
Their equipment looks like that of an army.

Medoute:
If it's the Imperial Army, they've got the worst timing......

Search Party:
Their standard is not that of the Imperial Army. It's one I've not seen before.

Jenon:
Is there a chance that Shiskia's been caught by them?

Medoute:
We haven't found her just searching like this. That may be a possibility.

Garlot:
Medoute...

Medoute:
Sigh, I know, I know! We can't leave this until we've seen it with our own
eyes.

Garlot:
Yeah......

Medoute:
At any rate it's essential that we advance carefully so they don't notice us.
We don't even know what they're after, much less their true colors.

Search Party:
That's them......

Medoute:
You were right; I've never seen that standard before. Where is this force from?

Jenon:
Look! On top of that hill! That's Shiskia!

Shiskia:
..............

Jenon:
She really was caught. We have to get her out somehow...

Medoute:
Hold on! Look next to Shiskia! That's...

Velleman:
..............

Garlot:
Velleman met up with Shiskia.
Really, don't scare me like that, Medoute.

Luciana:
Please take a closer look. Shiskia is being held at sword point by Count
Velleman!

Velleman:
Garlot! I know from a scout's report that you're nearby. Show yourself!

Garlot:
Velleman! Explain yourself!!

Velleman:
Is an explanation really necessary? Do you not understand?

Garlot:
..............

Medoute:
Count Velleman, tell us then what you expect to accomplish with this!

Velleman:
Fight with us, Garlot, that is if you value Shiskia's life.

Jenon:
I don't understand! What are you trying to do, Count!!

Shiskia:
Jenon......
Garlot, everyone, I'm sorry. I- I got caught......

Nessiah:
Then you arranged everything. Is that not right?
The information leak of the rebel alliance, Baldus and the Imperial Army's
dispatchment, and then Shiskia's capture......

Velleman:
You're wrong. I learned of the information leak and Baldus's dispatchment
beforehand, nothing more.

Medoute:
But you didn't inform us of it. Meaning that you abandoned us?

Velleman:
.....That is correct.

Garlot:
That's funny, Velleman. Gram Blaze is your private army. That was true past,
present, and future!
And I was just about to decide to stick with you too! Damn it!!

Velleman:
That request over the position of the rebel alliance leader went to you.

Garlot:
That's... I wouldn't have just decided that on my own without talking to you
about it!

Velleman:
That's not the point, Garlot. That may or may not be true this time, but what
of the next? Or the one after that?
Gram Blaze's renown stands on its own now. And that is because of you.
And it is something I cannot deny.

Garlot:
That's not what I think. We got this far because you were with us.

Velleman:
You, Garlot, make me feel terror.
I live with the fear that one day you will grow too large and consume your
master.
At times I had even wondered if you were human.
And now I have finally lost grasp of that fear.
That is why I decided to be rid of you. In the form of betrayal.

Garlot:
That's the reason......

Velleman:
Fight me, Gram Blaze!
Now that you're exhausted even I should be able to defeat you!!

Jenon:
Garlot, he's the enemy.

Garlot:
.....Jenon.

Jenon:
That man is using Shiskia as a shield. I have no intention of letting anyone
get away with something like that.

Velleman:
That's right, Jenon. There is no reason to forgive me.
I walked a bloodstained road to get here. I have no intention to try and be
forgiven again.

Garlot:
But it's not like you just did whatever you wanted......

Velleman:
This conversation is over, Garlot. This is where you and I part.

Garlot:
Wait, Velleman! I... I!

Leon:
It's useless, Garlot! The fight is already starting.

Nessiah:
Sir Leon is correct. All that's left is to see which side dies.

Garlot:
.....What the hell! Damn it!!

You fight like a lion or a demon dragon.
Honestly I wanted to fight and destroy Gram Blaze head on......
But I see now that, even though you should be exhausted, I can't.
I'd prefer not to, but I suppose I'll do it this way.

Shiskia:
Gram Blaze made it this far to change the world!
Throwing that away just for someone like me is foolish!
Garlot! You're our captain! Pick up your weapon! Tell everyone!!
Tell them, Garlot! Please!

Garlot:
No way, I couldn't.

Shiskia:
..............

Garlot:
I do want to change the world, but if we have to sacrifice you I don't think
that we can achieve it......

Shiskia:
.....What are you talking about. I don't get it.

Garlot, it'll be okay. Gram Blaze can definitely change the world......
And besides, I can't bear to see someone precious to me give up their life for
my sake.

Velleman:
..Am I seeing an illusion?

Garlot?:
.....Power is flowing through me. I won't lose to anyone like this.
If I had this power I would have surely been able to save Shiskia!!
Ugh!?
H- hah... hah...!

Jenon:
He's gone back to how he was before...... I don't get this at all.

Garlot:
Velleman, there were times I'd thought I'd be happy to have had you as a
father.
But you, you......

Velleman:
I am a weak person. I couldn't trust you.
I thought that if I could trust you things would work out, but it was useless.
The world of nobles is smeared with lies. I too have told my share of them.
And before I knew it I had turned into a person that does not trust others.
I realized it too late. If only I had met you a little sooner.
Resent me, Garlot. Me and my weakness......
I wish that your resentment towards me is a force that pushes you forward...

Shiskia... How could something like this......

Luciana:
Aegina... Let's see her off quietly.

Amy:
Hey, Miss Shiskia will wake up in the morning, right?
Everything will be okay, right? Right?

Medoute:
Hm? It's faint, but I feel a pulse......

Shiskia:
..Ugh......

Garlot:
Shiskia!

Shiskia:
Garlot... Everyone...

Jenon:
Someone, find a doctor!

Shiskia:
The battle is over, huh... Is Velleman...?

Garlot:
We beat him.

Shiskia:
..I see. I hate nobles, but... But Velleman, he was okay.

Garlot:
He was someone who would use you as a hostage. That's why we beat him. But it
was hard for me too.

Shiskia:
I see, that's right......

Garlot:
It's okay, don't talk. You'll hurt yourself.
Medoute went to a nearby village to get a doctor. So until then......

Shiskia:
No, it's probably useless by now.

Garlot:
If you die here, who will I consult with?

Shiskia:
It's okay, you have everyone else......
Jenon... The three of us childhood friends will be two, huh... Sorry.
It'll be just you boys......

Jenon:
..Shiskia.

Shiskia:
..............
It's okay. I've had plenty of happiness...... just the way we were......
That's why, let me stay like this for a little while......

Garlot:
Hey, Shiskia? Shiskia!?
Shiskia is... Shiskia is......

Garlot:
..............

Jenon:
..............

Medoute:
If you're quiet we can't begin. Get a hold of yourself, captain.

Garlot:
..............

Medoute:
In that case I will speak.
We need to decide Gram Blaze's plans from here on out. If you have any
comments, you are welcome to speak.

Garlot:
Everyone, before that, can I just say one thing?

Medoute:
Go ahead, Garlot.

Garlot:
I'll speak plainly. I believe I'm the one who put Shiskia in a situation where
she died.

Jenon:
Garlot, that's...

Garlot:
Let me speak, Jenon.
Even though I was by Velleman's side, I couldn't sense his suffering.
And Velleman's suffering was the cause of the situation this time.
That's why I am also responsible. That's all I wanted to say.

Leon:
Are you planning to carry all your allies' deaths on your shoulders like this,
bastard......

Garlot:
..............

Nessiah:
Then, concerning our plans from here on out, may I state my proposal?

Medoute:
Please, go ahead.

Nessiah:
First, to sustain our numbers we need vast quantities of provisions.
A quantity that we, having lost our sponsor, cannot obtain.
My suggestion is to get them from a number of sources.

Medoute:
.....More specifically?

Nessiah:
Let us take up the banner of opposing the Empire.
With Master Garlot's fame, that alone should bring us offers of supplies.
Moreover, we will be able to gather many soldiers.

Garlot:
But, having lost Shiskia and parted with Velleman, are we really strong enough
to overthrow the Empire?
I would agree if we had the power... But we weren't even strong enough to
protect Shiskia.

Nessiah:
How about that power, then? The tremendous power you've shown us in this
battle.

Garlot:
That power......

Medoute:
You mean when we say Garlot turn into something horrid in the fight with
Velleman?

Nessiah:
That's right.

Garlot:
Back then I felt so much power welling up within me that even I couldn't
believe it.
Yeah, if I could master that strength I bet even overthrowing the Empire would
be possible.

Nessiah:
I believe that that power is of the demon dragon Brongaa that caused the world
to fall into a dark age in the past.

Medoute:
........!!

Garlot:
The demon dragon... Brongaa's?

Nessiah:
The emperors of Bronquia have for generations held tremendous power through a
contract with Brongaa.
And in addition to that, it is said that there are those upon this earth who
carry Brongaa's blood.
It is likely that that blood runs strongly through the captain's veins.

Garlot:
If I could obtain that power, I would be able to defeat the Empire?
I could make a new world without irrationality, like Shiskia wanted?

Medoute:
Hang on, Garlot...

Nessiah:
Yes, you could.
However, I believe the power of Brongaa's blood within you is sealed in some
way.
If that seal was to be broken you should be able to control that power freely.

Garlot:
What should I do, Nessiah? Tell me how to break it!

Nessiah:
Let us go to Lost Aeries, the legendary land where the life and death struggle
between the demon dragon and the hero Gill is said to have unfolded.
I hear there are many people gathering research regarding Brongaa's blood and
related mystical techniques there.

Garlot:
Okay, then I will go to the Lost Aeries.
The other members, remain in the Empire and call for the formation of the rebel
alliance and gather provisions.
Get ready at once, split up!

Medoute:
..............
Garlot's a descendant of the demon dragon? This has to be some sort of a
joke......
If he is then is this the fate of my blood......

========================================================================[Map40]
呼び起こせ、魔竜の血
Awaken, Blood of the Demon Dragon
Temple of Brongaa

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map40.01]
Due to Velleman's betrayal and eternal parting, and Shiskia's death, Garlot had
fallen deep into grief.

Garlot and the others, having lost their base, appealed for the formation of
the rebel alliance, and instilled a policy of recruiting soldiers and
soliciting supply contributions.

Garlot, on the other hand, took a portion of the group and headed to the land
of the Lost Aries.

He went in order to break the seal holding back the power of the demon dragon
that awakened in the battle with Velleman.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map40.02]
Garlot:
This is the demon dragon's temple. All things considered it's a lonely looking
place.
Is this really the place leading the research on Brongaa?
Hm... Someone's coming......

Temple Attendant:
When you're meeting someone you say hello. That's the word you use when you
enter someone's home without asking, you know?
I can't believe this. This is why outsiders are...... Hm...?
A feel power. Are you a descendant of Brongaa?

Garlot:
It looks that way. Do you know anything about it? Could you tell me?
I need to find a way to be able to use it freely, no matter what. Please!

Temple Attendant:
But you... That power is......

Mysterious Woman:
I see we have a guest. I ask that you tell me your request.

Garlot:
You're... Why do I feel like I've met you somewhere before......

Mysterious Woman:
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Beatrine. I came to this temple to compile
the research on the demon dragon.
You are here about the power of Brongaa's blood...?

Garlot:
That's right. Please tell me. I have that power sleeping inside me. I want to
release it!

Beatrine:
I had anticipated that you would come here one day......
I had heard that since I had gone you endured much hatred from your father.
It must have been a pitiable childhood. No doubt you hate me, Garlot......

Garlot:
Hang on. I don't get what you're talking about. And also, how do you know my
name?
Do you by any chance have the power to see into people's pasts?

Beatrine:
No I do not. These are merely things that I knew.
And I knew them because you are my son, born of my body.

Garlot:
You are... my mother...?

Beatrine:
I doubt you remember me... I had left you before you had any awareness of the
things around you.
Ever since you were little you were an unusual child overflowing with the power
of the demon dragon.
Uneasy of your power, I had sealed it with the knowledge I had at the time.

Garlot:
Why did you leave me and dad?

Beatrine:
The seal on you was not yet complete. Whenever you would get emotional it would
temporarily unravel.
I had decided to research a way to perfect it. All for your sake......
But in order to continue that research I had no choice but to leave my role as
a wife and mother behind.

Garlot:
Why did you seal the power of Brongaa's blood......?

Beatrine:
If it were known that you had power, you would surely be used by someone.
The power of Brongaa's blood brings sorrow to people... I hated the thought of
seeing you unhappy.

Garlot:
So since you sealed the power of Brongaa's blood in me I I'm not unhappy now.
Is that what you're saying!?
Abandoned by my mother, abused by my father, and even losing my best friend...
And you say that I'm happy!!

Beatrine:
I came here to gather research intending to soften the suffering of being a
carrier of Brongaa's blood...
But if I have caused your unhappiness as a result then I may not even have the
qualifications to continue researching.

Garlot:
There's no point in you saying that......

Beatrine:
Hear me Garlot. There exists only a single way to break the seal.
And that is to kill the one who placed it in the first place; me.

Garlot:
........!

Beatrine:
You who have been abandoned, who lived in unhappiness, have that privilege.
And I, having placed the seal, have the duty to guard it to the end.
You understand, Garlot. Fight with me.
Now, pick up your spear... That is, if you desire the demon dragon's power.

/--Victory--------------
/ Defeat Beatrine and unseal the power!!

Garlot:

| Medoute:
| So Garlot really does carry the blood of Brongaa.
| I left home not wanting to be bound by things like fate or destiny...
| But in the end I end up meeting a descendant of the demon dragon like this.
| It feels like ill fate.
| But there's no way I will drag legends from hundreds of years ago into a
| fight......
-----

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map40.03]
| |
| | HAS THE FIGHT ENDED WITH THIS?
| /\ | Wounded Beatrine...!!
|/ \|

Garlot:
Did I get her?

Beatrine:
..............
Not yet, Garlot. You are still far from ready.

Garlot:
What......!?

Beatrine:
The power of the demon dragon you reach for is a power of aggression and
sacrifices and destruction that spears no pleading or surrender of its
enemies.
If you obtain it you will no longer be a person. And you are not yet ready for
that.
And if you are not ready leave my sight and do not return.

Garlot:
Am I... ready?
I want the power to crush madness.
A tragedy like Shiskia's won't be repeated. I want power that can prevent
something like that.
And beyond that should be the world Shiskia and I wanted. That's why...!

Beatrine:
In that case come at me with all your strength. And pierce through my heart
with your spear.
As a rite of passage to gain power, and as my child, bathe in your mother's
blood.
Once you abandon your humanity the seal will break!

Beatrine:

Garlot... No, Gulcasa.

Garlot:
Gulcasa? That's......

Beatrine:
That's your true name. Garlot is an alias I gave you to seal the power of your
blood.
From henceforth use the name Gulcasa.
As long as you keep calling yourself by your true name the power of the dragon
blood within you will keep growing...
Goodbye, Gulcasa... Do not forget me when controlling your power.
And may you be able to create the world that you wish and your friend Shiskia
dreamed of.
And take care of Amy, your little sister.

Garlot:
Mother, you're......

Beatrine:
Believing a child that has grown up and helping a child fulfill their dreams...
that is the role... of a parent.
I will trust you......

Garlot:
She said that the readiness to abandon your humanity will make the demon
dragon's power stronger.
From now on the name Gulcasa will be my name.
Gradually we will forget my former name. It was a weak name......
One day I will be the strongest in the world... Once that happens I will erase
all madness...
And there won't be anyone in this world who lives in sorrow like Shiskia,
Jenon, and I did.
..Just a little longer, Shiskia. I'll show you a changed world! A new world we
wished for...!

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (1st)

In the battle with his mother to obtain the power of the demon dragon, Garlot
lost his life. Before he was able to resolve his regret over Shiskia, his life
came to an end...

Defeat - Out of Cards (2nd)----------------------------

In the battle with his mother to obtain the power of the demon dragon, Garlot's
group was scattered due to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to disband...

========================================================================[Map41]
盾を破るのは矛なのか？
Is a Lance What Shatters a Shield?
Outskirts of the Capital - Arc of Triumph

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map41.01]
Having broken a taboo by killing his mother, Garlot awoke the power of
Brongaa's blood, and obtained his true name, Gulcasa.

In the Empire, Nessiah's shocking strategy bore fruit and the rebel alliance
rose up simultaneously all over Bronquia, forming an enormous ring around the
capital.

The imperial army, having split its forces among all the rebel groups, decided
to place Baldus the God of War in the path of Commander Gulcasa and his main
force.

Thus the main force of both factions faced each other in front of Flarewerk's
Arc of Triumph.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map41.02]
Amy:
So, Mister Captain was big brother, huh. I never noticed even though you were
so close.

Gulcasa:
I didn't mean to hide it in any way......

Amy:
No, it's okay. Amy's not my real name either. It's Emilia.

Gulcasa:
You knew your true name?

Emilia:
The strength of my blood is not as strong as brother's, so a weaker seal worked
fine.
Miss Beatrine said so after she placed the seal on me.
I finally found you...... I was alone for so long... I wanted be with you,
brother.
.....Hey, brother.
Miss Shiskia went far away... But big brother won't go, right?

Gulcasa:
.....Right, we'll always be together.
I will not part with even one more precious companion!

Jenon:
Amy could reunite with her brother, and Luciana's leg is steadily mending.
Things haven't been completely bad.
Sadness does not last forever, I suppose......

Medoute:
Jenon...... What do you think of Garlot?

Jenon:
Huh... What's this all of the sudden?

Medoute:
Have you felt anything change when he took up the name Gulcasa?

Jenon:
Hmm, it's true that he's changed his appearance, and he's gotten tremendous
spirit......
But that's only because he's gotten stronger. Gulcasa is Garlot. He himself
hasn't changed.

Medoute:
.....Yeah, I suppose.
Um, you know, I'm actually a descendant of Gill the dragon slayer. Though, only
of a branch family.

Jenon:
The hero Gill? The one who is said to have defeated Brongaa in the dark age
long ago...
Then, does that mean that the demon dragon's blood concerns you somehow?
Wait, then, Medoute! Does that mean that you knew from the beginning that
Garlot has the blood of the demon dragon......

Medoute:
You're misunderstanding me. It was just a coincidence.
Or rather, I'd like to think that it's a coincidence......
I've always believed that there's no meaning in this dragon slayer lineage.
That's why I became a wanderer. I traveled around relying only on my physical
strength, and denying my parentage.
But it's strange. When I look at Gulcasa my feelings get stirred up.
I hope I'm just reading too much into it, but......

Jenon:
I'm sure it'll be fine. The demon dragon plunging the world into terror is just
an old story.

Gulcasa:
For the main gate into the capital there are far too few troops defending it.
This is all thanks to the large-scale diversion of the rebel alliance. ...Well
done Nessiah.

Nessiah:
Think nothing of it. It was the simple matter of taking over Velleman's
personal connections well.

Leon:
But... The ones defending the gate are the old man's unit of all people.

Baldus:
That ferocious red haired young warrior... Could it be that Garlot?
He is like a completely different man...! Even at this range I feel a
terrifying amount of spirit relentlessly striking my skin.
If only I had killed him in the attack on their residence.

Gulcasa:
Now then, can you think of any strategy that would be effective against Baldus?

Nessiah:
That's right; the God of War should also have his own thoughts on the current
rebellion.
So far the capital has overlooked the various injustices and rampant rebellion
and treachery.

Gulcasa:
I see. You're saying he has a sort of dissatisfaction towards the Emperor......

Nessiah:
I believe he has come this far suppressing his own discontent for the sake of
his devoted nature.
However, with the right jolt that discontent can be made to overflow...
Please, allow me to join this battle. Without doubt I will bring Baldus into
our ranks.

Imperial Army Soldier:

Imperial Army Soldier:
They're not made of the same stuff as the rebels we went up against......
Is even General Baldus being beaten by them......

Imperial Army Soldier:
The General ought to be alright though, right? But we definitely don't stand a
chance......

Nessiah:
Now, Master Gulcasa! Call for their surrender!!

Gulcasa:
Hear me, soldiers of the Empire! Lower your weapons!! Surrender and your lives
will be spared!

Imperial Army Soldier:
Hey, they're advising us to surrender...... Will they really spare our lives?

Imperial Army Soldier:
I've heard that Gram Blaze doesn't execute their prisoners!

Imperial Army Soldier:
Ah, I surrender! I'm not throwing my life away for the sake of the Empire!!

Imperial Army Soldier:
Me too! Don't kill me!!

Baldus:

Nessiah:
They are nothing but mish-mash soldiers, after all. ......That and this is the
spirit of the age.
Weighing their lives against the country, they will always choose to save
themselves.
They are not like us who have banded together under a common cause.

Gulcasa:
However, that will not work against Baldus's main force. The unit he leads is
powerful.

Nessiah:
That is not true of their spirit... Having watched their reinforcements
surrender, their fervor has been cut sharply.
That is true of Baldus as well. He should have begun to doubt if there is merit
in protecting this country.

Gulcasa:
Then let's try this once more. Just spirit is not enough. We will shake them
with our power as well!

/--Victory--------------

Baldus:
I am a knight that has devoted my spear and power to the Bronquian Empire for
generations.
And yet, what was that dreadful spectacle? Rebellion is now a frequent
occurrence around the Empire, and even the regular army has become weak
willed...
Is there really a point to devoting myself to this country...?

Nessiah:
Master Gulcasa. I think I would like to attack General Baldus's spirit one more
time.
Please defeat all his subordinates and leave the main unit defenseless.

Gulcasa:
You want only the main unit left? Leave it to me!

I carry Brongaa's blood in my veins and therefore am a successor to legitimate
power.

Baldus:
The demon dragon's blood...... I see. That was the power I felt.
It may be possible for you to stop His Majesty......
Please bring this country to a magnificent end......

Gulcasa:
.....Is that what you desire?

Baldus:
Do not misunderstand. As a General what I want to protect above my country is
the people.
That is what the Shield of Bronquia desires. Please, if you could only think of
the Bronquian citizens...

Gulcasa:
Of course, the country I am making is for the people.

Gulcasa:
God of War, are you not a knight who has devoted his spear to Bronquia?
If you are anxious over the true country should you not pull out your troops?

Baldus:
Do not insult me! I am Baldus, the God of War, called the Shield of Bronquia!!
Do not lump me in with those weak soldiers! No matter what happens I will not
surrender!!

Gulcasa:
Shield of Bronquia. Just what age was it when that name was your pride?

Baldus:
.....What!?

Gulcasa:
A shield is something that protects that which is important, don't you agree?
Right now what is there in this country that you should put your life on the
line for?

Baldus:
.....There is His Highness.

Gulcasa:
He is the man who caused this country to fall into disorder. Is that what
you're protecting?

Baldus:
.....There are the people of the capital as well.

Gulcasa:
Do you think I would lay a hand on the citizens of the capital?

Baldus:
.....No, I do not think so. I have heard that Gram Blaze have always fought
with the people in mind.

Gulcasa:
In that case, concede to my side. That is not surrender or a change to your
doctrine.
Let us once again make a country that you would want to protect from the bottom
of your heart. A new Bronquian Empire.
Think carefully what you want your shield to protect.

Baldus:
What I want my shield to protect......
That is the people...... And a new Bronquian Empire...

| Nessiah:
| Your words are too kind.

| Gulcasa:

Gulcasa:
Now there is no one left to prevent us from passing through the Arc of Triumph.
It won't be long before the Empire is overthrown. Then we can make our dream
come into fruition.

Jenon:
Hey, Garlot......

Gulcasa:
Stop calling me by that name. I am Gulcasa.

Jenon:
Gulcasa, can you tell me one thing. What do you plan to do once you defeat the
Emperor and overthrow the Empire?

Gulcasa:
After that I will keep going until I've made a world with no senseless cruelty.
The injustice of the leaders, the discrimination against the powerless, the
pointless violence, the enormous taxation...
I will shatter all such senselessness... And the world that will be after that
is one that Shiskia wants as well.

Jenon:
..............
Garlot......

Gulcasa:
I told you to stop calling me that.

Jenon:
Rushing ahead, crushing senselessness and creating that world... Is that really
possible to do?

Gulcasa:
With the power that I have anything is possible......
This is so that a tragedy like Shiskia's never happens again. You understand
me, right Jenon?

Jenon:
Garlot......

Gulcasa:
.....Sigh. How long are you gonna all me that?

Nessiah:
Sir Jenon, excuse me. It has not been long since Master Gulcasa awoke the
dragon blood within him.
I think he needs to rest for a while. I ask that you leave this conversation
until after that...... Is that alright?

Jenon:
Yeah, it's fine......
..............

Medoute:
..How did it go, Jenon?

Jenon:
He... He said he wants to make a world without senselessness. It's what he's
spoken of since long ago.

Medoute:
Then you're saying that Gulcasa hasn't changed from how he was as Garlot?

Jenon:
.....No, I think he has.
He isn't Garlot anymore. I can't explain it very well, but......
One thing I can say is that Garlot was a man that grew up and moved forward
while having doubts.
But Gulcasa doesn't have those doubts.
In that way he is completely different......

Medoute:
Having no doubts is not a bad thing.

Jenon:
That's not what I mean. Doubting is a weakness, but having weaknesses is not a
bad thing.
When you know what it's like to feel weak you will have thoughts and actions
emerge from that.
And those thoughts and actions will never emerge from Gulcasa. That's what I
think.

双竜激突
Clash of the Twin Dragons
Imperial Capital Flarewerk

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map42.01]
The main force of the rebel alliance led by Gulcasa broke through the Arc of
Triumph defended by Baldus, achieving their invasion into the capital.

Their opponent, Emperor Soltier, moved to meet them, personally leading the
army.

Together with the Imperial Guard Leader, Lapis, they began their defense of
castle Flarewerk.

The Emperor who signed a contract with the demon dragon and Gulcasa who
awakened the dragon blood sleeping within him.

The final battle to turn over the imperial rule was coming into fruition here
and now......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map42.02]
Gulcasa:
Hear me, citizens of the capital! I am Gulcasa, the leader of the rebel army!!
My objective is not the destruction of the city! It is to put an end to this
rotten to the core imperial government!!
Before the fighting begins there is something I wish to ask you!
Up until now, what has the Empire done for you? And also, what has the Empire
taken from you!?
The taxation has taken your savings, the conscription has taken the children
you've raised, the disheveled public order has taken your peace of mind!!
And while taking so much it has not given its citizens anything in return......
Is that something you will let it get away with!?
If you are smart you should understand! This sort of imperial government should
not continue much longer!
Those without power are innocent!
Justice is on our side! We are here representing the powerless, and now we will
defeat the Bronquian Empire!
People who see the justice with us! If you can, lend us a hand!

Lapis:
That man! How dare he spread such bile!
I should have judged him back when he first showed that rude attitude of
his......

Soltier:
That speech is unbearable to hear...... It doesn't move the heart. Even
Velleman was better.

Lapis:
Your Highness, please leave the task of defending this area to us and return
inside the castle.

Soltier:
Don't make light of me, Lapis.
The only reason I entrusted the army to Baldus is because a capable general
with seniority would have a greater control of the army alone.

Lapis:
I know well how capable Your Highness is as a military man......
However, this will be a defensive battle.
A violent attack like this will not stop where Your Highness will still be
safe.

Soltier:
But isn't it your duty to protect me from such things?

Lapis:
Yes, it's true that it is, but......

Soltier:
I want to be at the front-most line. That is the duty an Emperor of Bronquia,
the militaristic Empire, should carry out.

Lapis:
..By your will.

Imperial Soldier:
The rebel army has deployed in the center of Flarewerk!

Soltier:
.....You've come, Red.
So he was a successor of the demon dragon's blood...
A carrier of the contract with Brongaa and a successor of Brongaa's blood.
Interesting...... Let us test who is strongest.

Gulcasa:
Emperor Soltier has shown himself.

--HAVE BALDUS
| Baldus:

Gulcasa:
He is the summit of this country. We defeat Soltier and we defeat the country.
And the senseless cruelty should end......
That's why we will give it our all! We will collide with them to the limit of
our strength, and that will determine whether this country breaks or not.

Lapis:

Soltier:
Of course...I would choose death over the humiliation of fleeing.

Lapis:
My apologies, I meant no offence...... Please forgive me.
I will now go take position in front of the castle gate and intercept them.

Soltier:
You want to die, Lapis? Then what of your duty as the guard leader to protect
me?

Lapis:
While it may be presumptuous, the only way of protecting Your Highness is to
win.
One cannot grasp victory in a defensive battle...... Therefore the only way is
to intercept them.

Soltier:
I see... You're right. Until the very end, there are still things I learn from
you.

Lapis:
Such awe-inspiring words, Your Highness.

Soltier:
Alright then, this is an order to Imperial Guard Leader Lapis. ...Do not come
back alive! Fight to the end and seize victory!

Of course there is merit! My devotion to His Highness is far above yours to
your allies.
I will raise my sword for the protection of His Highness until my life runs
out!

Gulcasa:
Protection? Could it be that you're here to hold us back while the Emperor
escapes, then!?

Lapis:
What insolence! His Highness would never flee!!
His Highness's twin blades are the swords that grasp victory! There is not a
single mark of cowardice upon them!!

Yes. Well said, Lapis.

And I will fight together with Lapis so that victory shall rest with us!
Come, join me, Lapis!

Lapis:
As you command, Your Highness!!

Soltier:
Gulcasa... I heard you woke the power of the demon dragon within you.
However, that way is the path of carnage and monstrosity. You've yet to notice
the weight of it...

Gulcasa:
You can think what you want. But I accepted this power understanding
everything.

Soltier:
The blood of the demon dragon brings sorrow to people......
In exchange for that power you've given up your humanity. The same as I have!

Gulcasa:
The same... as you? No, we're completely different!!

Soltier:
How are we different?
Look at the destructive force and the vigor of your charge since you took the
name Gulcasa, and the amount of blood spilled.
That is the sweet power of darkness brought about by Brongaa's blood.
Sooner or later you begin to lose your own will, and start to be controlled by
the demon dragon's.
Turn around! Look behind you! And when you're faced with the mountains of
corpses scattered around you curse your decision!!

Gulcasa:
Silence! I'm not like you...... After this fight I will definitely make a new
world without senselessness!

|/ \|

Gulcasa:
I'm not like him... I will not become like him...!

-----------------------------------------------------
Aegina:
Did we really win...?

Leon:
Yeah, an overwhelming victory! The rebellion allowed us to defeat the Emperor!
This is revolution! The Bronquian Empire has ended......
No, it will be reborn. In Gulcasa's hands!

Luciana:
It is the New Bronquian Empire.

Aegina:
Shiskia...... We have done it.
Please watch over us from now on if you can.

Gulcasa:
Uggh... Ghaaaaaaaa!!
What's happening... My body won't listen to me...!

Nessiah:
Master Gulcasa... Can you hear me? Brongaa's blood requires an offering.
There is no other way... We will have to sacrifice a soldier to it with
Genocide's power.

Gulcasa:
N- no way... Are you telling me to sacrifice an ally? There's no way I......

Nessiah:
But now that the imperial government has been destroyed the people are mentally
ready for the foundation of a new nation.
I cannot allow Master Gulcasa to be lost now...!

Gulcasa:
..............

Imperial Soldier:
..MASTER GULCASA. WE WILL GLADLY GIVE UP OUR LIVES FOR THE SAKE OF A NEW
COUNTRY......

|-----------------------|
| AWAKENING |
|-Hidden Blood Boiling.-|
|-----------------------|

Gulcasa:
Gh... Uaaaaarg!!

Imperial Soldier:
Guaaaaaah!!

Gulcasa:
..............
..Fufufu... Hahaha! My body is heating up. It feels good.
I've gained yet more power. Even protecting the newly revived country shall be
easy this way!!

Nessiah:
.....Master Gulcasa. There are many other countries on this continent besides
the Empire.
Do you not think that we should help out the poverty stricken, tyrannized
people who live there?

Gulcasa:
If I ruled all the countries at once I could spread these ideals throughout the
world!
Those who reject Shiskia's ideal world will not be allowed to surrender or beg
for their lives! I will pass judgment upon them!!

Nessiah:
In that case it will be necessary to prepare for a foreign campaign while we
establish the new Empire.

Gulcasa:
Yes, it will be!

Nessiah:
.....Please, leave it to me. Without fail, the utopia that has allowed the
Empire to prosper shall be spread throughout the land.

Gulcasa:
I leave it in your hands, Nessiah.
Fufufu... Just wait, Shiskia. It won't be long before the world changes. I will
change it...!

Medoute:

FIRST VICTORY VS. LAPIS

Lapis:
It will take more than this to kill me!
I am here to attain victory for His Highness! I will not break!!

--Gulcasa vs. Lapis------------------------------------
| Gulcasa:
| The one behind the factors corrupting the Empire is that Emperor!!
|
| Lapis:
| You'd best abstain from rash remarks!
|
|---VICTORY
| Lapis:
| Kh......
|
| Gulcasa:
| Weak! Do you really think you can protect the Empire with so little strength?
|
|---DEFEAT
| Lapis:
| There is still a chance to win this!?
-----

--Jenon vs. Lapis--------------------------------------
| Lapis:
| Gram Blaze... Truly it would have been best to crush you when we first met...
|
| Jenon:
| That is a self-righteous way of thinking. This is why the people will not
| support you!!
|
| Lapis:
| Then you're saying that the way you act, rushing things and deploying troops,
| will not lead to people's unhappiness!?
|
| Jenon:
| Th- That's mere sophistry......
|
|---VICTORY
| Lapis:
| Gram Blaze is strong......
|
| Jenon:
| You have no chance of success anymore. Give up and surrender.
|
|---DEFEAT
| Lapis:
| Improve your skills before you speak of sophistry.
|
| Jenon:
| Ugh......
-----

--Medoute vs. Lapis------------------------------------
| Lapis:
| What happened to that blonde girl, Shiskia?
| Is she possibly leading a detached force in some underhanded scheme of yours?
|
| Medoute:
| ......Could be.
|
|---VICTORY
| Medoute:
| The flame of the Empire is being extinguished. Why not acknowledge that?
|
| Lapis:
| If I acknowledge that I myself will vanish......
|
|---DEFEAT
| Lapis:
| I had heard a rumor that Shiskia had died. Is it true?
|
| Medoute:
| ...............
|
| Lapis:
| Your silence speaks for itself.
-----

--Aegina vs. Lapis-------------------------------------
| Lapis:
| Revolution is a ridiculous notion...... There is no need to trouble His
| Highness!! I will stop you...!
|
| Aegina:
| We will win here and get revenge for Shiskia......
|
|---VICTORY
| Aegina:
| Accept what you deserve for ignoring the people!
|
|---DEFEAT
| Aegina:
| No, I cannot be beaten yet!
-----

--Nessiah vs. Lapis------------------------------------
| Nessiah:
| What wholehearted loyalty to protecting the Emperor. My, how loathsome.
|
| Lapis:
| Have you bastard no loyalty whatsoever!?
|
| Nessiah:
| What I serve is absolute power, and only that.
|
|---VICTORY
| Nessiah:
| Fufufufufu...... Is your loyalty any help now?
|
|---DEFEAT
| Lapis:
| Do you see; this is my country! And my convictions to His Highness!!
|
| Nessiah:
| Truly. Fufufufufu......
-----

--Leon vs. Lapis---------------------------------------
| Lapis:
| First the rebel army, then Gram Blaze. How quick to change sides.
|
| Leon:
| And what about it? I want to fight so I fight. That's all there is to it.
|
| Lapis:
| Mad Knight is truly a fitting name for you.
|
|---VICTORY
| Leon:
| If you've realized your own powerlessness, stop resisting and let me beat
| you!
|
| Lapis:
| Gh... W- why you......
|
|---DEFEAT
| Leon:
| Good thrust, you haven't been slacking off!
|
| Lapis:
| What's this? Is that all the strength the Mad Knight has?
-----

--Baldus vs. Lapis-------------------------------------
| Lapis:
| Baldus, even you bastard have chosen to revolt!!
|
| Baldus:
| I am not revolting. What my shield protects is the same now and in the past.
| And that is the country and its people!
| Lady Lapis, you must have noticed the impasse the Empire is at!
|
| Lapis:
| !!
|
|---VICTORY
| Lapis:
| Urk......
|
| Baldus:
| Lady Lapis, surrender......
|
|---DEFEAT
| Lapis:
| The exhaustion of continuous fight has dulled your strength.
|
| Baldus:
| No... I must have unconsciously held back......
| I must cut ties. If not......
-----

--Jenon vs. Soltier------------------------------------
| Jenon:
| If we defeat you everything we've lost in our fighting will be repaid.
|
| Soltier:
| Do you really think so? Hah, don't make me laugh!
| If you defeat me nothing will change.
| If you become the Emperor you will understand. This country is steered by a
| will that is not human!
|
|---VICTORY
| Jenon:
| We will win and establish an ideal Empire!
|
| Soltier:
| Kh, as long as the demon dragon's will exists the Empire will not
| change......
|
|---DEFEAT
| Soltier:
| I knew it; you're all talk......
| If you don't intend to fight get off the battlefield!!
-----

--Medoute vs. Soltier----------------------------------
| Soltier:
| When I cross blades with you I can feel Brongaa's power within me throbbing.
| Could it be that you're from that family......
|
| Medoute:
| I am no one but myself!
|
|---VICTORY
| Soltier:
| I was right. That blade is of a descendant of the dragon slayer......
|
| Medoute:
| So, what about it?
|
| Soltier:
| Eventually, when you least desire it, you will be taken in by your destiny.
|
| Medoute:
| Destiny doesn't exist! You yourself decide how you live!!
|
| Soltier:
| Hmph, it's futile...... If only I were like that.
|
|---DEFEAT
| Medoute:
| This roughness is the same as Gulcasa's... This is the demon dragon's power,
| huh......
|
| Soltier:
| What's wrong? Haven't you come to hunt those with Brongaa's power?
|
| Medoute:
| ......!
-----

--Aegina vs. Soltier-----------------------------------
| Aegina:
| This man is the Emperor... The one who stands at the summit of Bronquia...
|
| Soltier:
| Scatter, Gram Blaze!!
|
|---VICTORY
| Soltier:
| Gh......
|
| Aegina:
| My strike connects! Our swords reach the Emperor!!
|
|---DEFEAT
| Aegina:
| The strength of his attacks is on par with Master Gulcasa's......
|
| Soltier:
| Throw away your weakness. If you do not the only thing waiting on the road
| ahead of you is death!
-----

--Nessiah vs. Soltier----------------------------------
| Nessiah:
| Your Highness, we shall take your life as an offering.
|
| Soltier:
| Offering? Offering to who?
|
| Nessiah:
| Why, the new Emperor, Master Gulcasa, of course.
|
|---VICTORY
| Soltier:
| W- what kind of technique was that......
|
| Nessiah:
| Fufufu......
|
|---DEFEAT
| Soltier:
| Ever since you joined Gram Blaze has changed.
| What the hell are you? What are you after?
|
| Nessiah:
| ...Fufufu. What good would knowing that do you?
-----

--Leon vs. Soltier-------------------------------------
| Leon:
| It's been a while, Soltier!
|
| Soltier:
| Leon. I had anticipated it would come to this.
| Your eyes are just as those of a mad dog.
|
|---VICTORY
| Leon:
| What? Is that all the strength you've got?
|
| Soltier:
| Gh......
|
|---DEFEAT
| Soltier:
| Your attacks are as reckless as always. Incompetent, just like your
| father......
|
| Leon:
| Shut the hell up......
-----

--Baldus vs. Soltier-----------------------------------
| Baldus:
| Ngh......
|
| Soltier:
| Are you hesitating, Baldus? How weak.
|
|---VICTORY
| Soltier:
| Just as I'd expected from the God of War. Such heavy hits......
|
| Baldus:
| Your Highness......
|
| Soltier:
| The shield is striking back.
|
|---DEFEAT
| Baldus:
| Ngh!!
|
| Soltier:
| Force them back in one strike!! We will smash the Shield of Bronquia and
| bring the revolution's momentum to a halt!

The man I love was drafted into the military. ...Conscription was obligatory,
so there was nothing to be done, but it truly was scary.
Whenever I would get a letter in the mail I would be scared to look at its
contents.
But he came back. And it's because when he fought you at the Arc of Triumph you
allowed him to surrender.
Thank you. No matter what you wanted to tell me, or even if you stopped here by
mistake...
You didn't kill him... I'm so grateful for that. Thank you so much.

---------------------Loss-------------------- [Map42.08]
Defeat - Out of Cards (1st)

Clashing with the frontline troops of Flarewerk's defensive battalion,
Gulcasa's unit was scattered due to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to
disband...

Defeat - Gulcasa Defeated (2nd)------------------------

Performing in the final violent battle with Emperor Soltier and his troops
Gulcasa lost his life. Before he was able to resolve his regret over Shiskia,
his life came to an end...

========================================================================[Map43]
焔帝ガルカーサ
Blazing Emperor Gulcasa
Imperial Capital Flarewerk

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map43.01]
Gulcasa, having made his way into Flarewerk, slew Emperor Soltier, the symbol
of the tyrannical rule, and proclaimed the creation of the New Bronquian Empire.

With his military power, the new Emperor, Gulcasa, reigned a country of strong
men, where existed no oppressed people.

The rebel army soldiers and, after he achieved revolution, the citizens brought
grief by the former imperial government as well, adored Gulcasa. The new
Empire, receiving wild support, seemed to have a smooth road ahead of it.

But in this reign and wild enthusiasm, there was still someone who felt
uneasy......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map43.02]
Gulcasa:
Hah, hah, hah......
The aching has finally stopped...... I think I can hold out for a little while
longer.
This is the curse of Brongaa's blood, then. If I hadn't had the seal as a child
I don't know if I'd have made it......
But I'm fine now. I'll manage to control this power somehow. My purpose in
using it is clear as well......
I'm alright. I will be alright......

Medoute:
No, you aren't. It's already too late, Gulcasa.

Gulcasa:
It's you, Medoute. What is it?

Medoute:
I've come to stop you.
I've hid it until now, but I'm actually a descendant of the Dragon Slayer,
Gill.
In other words, as you carry Brongaa's blood within you we are longtime
enemies.

Gulcasa:
.....And what? What do you mean you've come to stop me?

Medoute:
Ever since I was little I hated the customs and practices of being the
descendant of the hero.
I am me. Not some old man who fought a dragon long ago that I know nothing of
other than his name...
Thinking that I left home and wandered around all over believing that I can do
something all on my own.
But then I met you...

Gulcasa:
Then by stopping me you mean that you, as a dragon slayer, plan to slay me?
That as I have inherited the dragon's blood you can't let me live?

Medoute:
I'm sure that that's what people will say...... That in the end Medoute too
could not escape the curse of being a dragon slayer.
But that's not it. Neither the dragon blood nor the dragon slaying heritage
have anything to do with this......

Gulcasa:
..Then why. I do not understand the reason you have turned your blade on me.

Medoute:
The fact that you don't understand is the answer. Gulcasa, you have changed.
I have seen it. That Genocide ritual.
That's when I decided. I will defeat you.

Gulcasa:
But that soldier was more than happy to sacrifice himself for me!

Medoute:
No he wasn't. I've no doubt that Nessiah was controlling that soldier's will.

Aegina:
Master Gulcasa! Has something happened...!?

Jenon:
Medoute!

Nessiah:
Lady Medoute is pointing her weapon at Master Gulcasa. Is this perhaps......

Medoute:
..............

Gulcasa:
Medoute says she intends to kill me. The same as Velleman had. We shall purge
her!

Aegina:
She couldn't......

Nessiah:
I shall call the soldiers!

Aegina:
There has to be some mistake! Miss Medoute could not possibly betray us! Don't
you agree, Sir Jenon!?

Jenon:
.....Yeah, there has to be something wrong. I'll talk to her and find out.

Aegina:
Sir Jenon! Where are you going at a time like this......

Medoute:
There is something wrong. I think so as well. But...... Somebody has to right
that wrong!

/--Victory--------------
/ Purge the traitor!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Gulcasa dies... /
Use up all your cards... /
---------------------/

Medoute:
Garlot, the leader of Gram Blaze, no longer exists.
What you are now is one enthralled by Brongaa's blood, the demon Gulcasa.

Gulcasa:
And is that bad!? Now that I have this power there are things that I can do!
You and Velleman are both just jealous of my power!
That's why, even to you, I will show no mercy!!

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map43.03]
Medoute:
I didn't want to fight for stupid reasons like destiny.

Gulcasa:
I am not bound by destiny. What I want... What I require, is the world.

Medoute:
Using what you desire as an excuse to throw away your past and distort your
beliefs...
Isn't that the same as being bound by fate. What's different about it!

Gulcasa:
.....You're wrong. What I want is the world Shiskia dreamed of!

-----------------------------------------------------
Medoute:
Using your allies as sacrifices, prolonging the fighting...... That's something
you would never do in the past.

Gulcasa:
.....In violent battles sacrifices are unavoidable. That is something I
understood now and in the past.

Medoute:
That may be true. But you weren't someone who could just say that as if it
meant nothing!!
Why did you throw that kindness of yours that regretted having sacrifices!?
Why!?

-----------------------------------------------------
Medoute:
I will state this...... You are only using Shiskia's death as an excuse to show
off your power.

Gulcasa:
I'm telling you you're wrong! I just want to make the world Shiskia and I
pursued a reality!!
Even if I have to stain my hands in the demon dragon's blood......

Medoute:
Do you think Shiskia would be happy seeing you this way!?

Gulcasa:
........!?

Medoute:
You are not the only one to feel sadness at Shiskia's loss......
You say that having gained power staining your hands with the demon dragon's
blood, you fight for the world you desire.
If so, that would be your fight. I would have no duty to stop you. I would
merely take my leave.
But... Using Shiskia's name as justification to destroy and coerce sacrifices
is not something I can forgive!!

Defeat - Gulcasa Defeated (1st)

Having lost his friend as a result of having gained power Gulcasa died... That
conclusion may very well have been the result granted by karma...

======================================================================[EndingA]
Medoute:
.....As I thought, I wasn't strong enough.

Gulcasa:
Medoute, can't we start over?

Medoute:
I don't think that's possible......

Gulcasa:
..............

Nessiah:
Master Gulcasa, she has been a treacherous servant. She should be killed.
If you do not judge traitors you set a bad example to others right at the start
of the new Empire.

Gulcasa:
..............
.....That's right.

Jenon:
Wait, Garlot!!

Medoute:
Jenon......

Jenon:
I'm the one who drove Medoute to do this. The real traitor is me!
I'll bear the punishment, so please, let Medoute go.

Medoute:
What are you saying! There's no way anyone would buy a lie like that!!

Jenon:
It's not a lie, Garlot. Don't kill Medoute.
As your friend, that' my last request to you.
Please... Stop this...
It would upset Shiskia......

Medoute:
Jenon......

Gulcasa:
..............

Nessiah:
What an absurd drama. Let us judge them together......
If you try to resist then I...

Gulcasa:
No I will decide what to do with them.
Until then, lock them in jail.

Jenon:
.....Garlot.

Medoute:
..............

-----------------------------------------------------
Officer:
Quickly, hurry up! Master Gulcasa's address is starting! Form a line! Form a
line!

Volunteer Soldier:
Hey, have you heard? Apparently a senior officer named Medoute was plotting
insurrection.

Volunteer Soldier:
Huh? But I heard she died from an arrow wound she got in the attack on the
capital......

Volunteer Soldier:
This is what I heard. The ringleader was the tactician Jenon who is supposedly
a mild mannered man...

Volunteer Soldier:
That sounds suspicious~ Is this New Bronquian Empire of Master Gulcasa's really
alright?

Volunteer Soldier:
It's gotta be better than Emperor Soltier's. If it gets worse than the previous
government we can flee to a neighboring country.

Volunteer Soldier:
We're fine with anything as long as we're not in the country that's losing.

Officer:
Hey, you maggots! Cease your chatter!!

Aegina:
Silence!!
Master Gulcasa, the Blazing Emperor of the New Bronquian Empire is here to
grace us with his words!

Gulcasa:
..............

Volunteer Soldier:
That's Master Gulcasa... This is the first time I'm seeing him, but even at
this range his intensity is tremendous.

Officer:
.....That is a true hero. That is what a hero acts like!
It is because of him that the government that no one could overthrow was
overthrown!

Gulcasa:
Hear me, brave soldiers!!
The reason I stand here today is because of the great number of my comrades and
their dreams, just like yourselves.
Borrowing your strength I was able to put an end to the corrupt Bronquian
government......
But what I am after is a world where the weak are not oppressed. Not the
country, the world!
In order to create a world without senseless cruelty I will unify all the
countries together.
And after crossing these countries' fences, I will make a completely new world!
I ask that you lend me your strength! For the sake of creating a new world!
For the sake of making a world without injustice or discrimination, where no
one suffers from senseless cruelty!!

Officer:
Hooray for Master Gulcasa! Hooray for the New Bronquian Empire!

Volunteer Soldier:
But can we really do something like changing the world...

Volunteer Soldier:
We'll be fine! After all, we'll have Master Gulcasa, the Blazing Emperor, with
us!!

Volunteer Soldier:
That's right. I mean, up until now hasn't Master Gulcasa made the impossible
possible!?

Volunteer Soldier:
Y- yeah, you're right!

Volunteer Soldier:
Hooray for Master Gulcasa, the Blazing Emperor!! Hooray for the New Bronquian
Empire!!

Leon:
Oho... Unifying the world. That's starting off grand. Kukuku... I'm itching to
begin!

Aegina:
I too will put in my efforts to succeed Shiskia's dying wish.
And once her leg heals, I'm sure Sis will lend us her strength as well.

Luciana:
Of course......
And one day we will conquer the Kingdom of Fantasinia.

--HAVE BALDUS

Emilia:
Is there anything I can do? I want to help big brother out too.

Luciana:
Your body will grow and you will become an adult, Emilia.
But more than anything, you are Master Gulcasa's sister. You could not possibly
be powerless.

--HAVE EUDY
| Eudy:
| Today is a day to celebrate! We really should fire off a gun salute!!
-----

Gulcasa:
Everyone, we will be busy from here on... I ask that you continue to lend me
strength. I am counting on you!

Nessiah:
By the way, Master Gulcasa. About those two we locked up in jail......

Gulcasa:
I told you I will decide what to do with them, Nessiah.
Do not bring up this matter again. I will not be lenient. Do you understand?

Nessiah:
Yes, as you wish......

Gulcasa:
..............
I am the Blazing Emperor Gulcasa! Successor of Brongaa's blood!!
I have discarded the name I used in the past... It is unnecessary.
I will fight and fight until the fighting is done! And then I will surely
create a new world!!

-----------------------------------------------------
Jenon:
Medoute, do you have any more water? My throat is dry.

Medoute:
Again? You've got surprisingly little endurance, Jenon.

Jenon:
Well, here, up until now we've always been watched by our subordinates. So I
faked that I had endurance.
But now it's just you and me on a traveling around at ease. Don't tell me I
have to be tougher.

Medoute:
.....I can't believe this.
I suppose it can't be helped... Here's the canteen. Don't drink all of it.

Jenon:
You're a life saver, thanks!

Medoute:
..............
Right about now they should be having a commemoration ceremony of the New
Bronquian Empire in Flarewerk.
I've heard that they've started calling Gulcasa the Blazing Emperor. Meaning an
Emperor of flames.
They say he has tremendous support from the people......

Jenon:
Medoute, let's not talk about him.
Garlot and Gulcasa are different people.
He doesn't exist anymore. Just as Shiskia will never smile again.

Medoute:
But after locking us in jail he let us escape without killing us.
He may not have been taken over by the demon dragon's blood completely.

Jenon:
Even so, we don't have the power to stop him.

Medoute:
I wish I could have stopped him somehow. Because from now on he will surely
lose a lot on his way forward.

Jenon:
But we can't stop him the way he is now. None of them will stop.
I expect that the people who find life in fighting will be enraptured by
Gulcasa's power......

Medoute:
..That may be.

--HAVE SLEIP
| Sleip:
| Hic, Uuueih......
|
| Jenon:
| It's Sleip!
|
| Sleip:
| Jenon, Medoute... Hic... Imma goin' with you.
-----

Jenon:
Now then...... Shouldn't we get going? Where should we head this time?

Medoute:
Let's try heading south. How about boarding a ship and sailing to a different
continent?

Jenon:
A different continent, huh. Why not. I wouldn't mind forgetting about this
country a little.
..............
Medoute, do you have any more water? My throat is dry.

Medoute:
Enough, cut it out!

Gulcasa, having overthrown the former Empire and achieved revolution,
established the New Bronquian Empire and took on the title of Blazing Emperor.

Many of his comrades took on important positions in the new imperial
government, and pledged to continue their efforts in order to unify the new
Empire.

But those who were there at the start of the private army, Shiskia, Jenon, and
Medoute, were no longer around.

After that the Bronquian Empire, under Blazing Emperor Gulcasa's good governing
and military strength, and having flourished beyond what was expected right
after the revolution, had become a threat to its neighboring countries......

Invading its neighbor, the Kingdom of Fantasinia, and achieving its shocking
plan for conquest took a mere three years......

悲劇
Tragedy
Outskirts of Tiera - Private Army Housing

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map44.01]
Due to Pandra's disappearance the remnants of the rebel army had formed a mob
and stability in the western region deteriorated all the more.

To prevent Pandra's return and build personal connections, Count Velleman set
out with the private army to patrol various cities in the region.

While restoring peace in each city Count Velleman and the others built strong
personal connections and, after a month long trip, returned to Tiera.

All the members of Gram Blaze looked forward to the return to the residence,
however......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map44.02]
Garlot:
It looks like the unrest wasn't as bad as the rumors made it out to be.

Nessiah:
Is it not possible that upon hearing of Gram Blaze's visit they quieted their
activities?
Setting aside the suppression of bandits, Count Velleman felt the people
respond on this trip.
While restoring peace he built distinct connections with the influential people
of the various cities......
The Count is quite the negotiator. I have only praise for his skills.

Shiskia:
You really think so?
Well, I don't really get the difficult stuff, but...... In any case things
worked out, right?

Jenon:
Yeah, it' fine not to understand the little details.

Shiskia:
..Hey Jenon, are you making me sound stupid?

Jenon:
Huh, what are you talking about...!?

Garlot:
Hey, not again. Enough of your lovers' quarrel.

Shiskia:
It's not a lovers' quarrel!!

Garlot:
Anyways, all of us made it back to Tiera in one piece. Isn't that what's most
important?

Shiskia:
But that's not really satisfying...... ...Mumble, mumble...

Garlot:
And I bet Aegina wants to hurry and get back to Luciana, right?

Aegina:
Master Garlot...... I would like to speak to you on that topic for a moment.
My sister's leg is recovering well. That is all thanks to you and the others
protecting us.

Garlot:
Enough of that. That's just what friends do.

Aegina:
I am sorry to trouble you with this, but as soon as sister's leg heals we may
have to take our leave......

Garlot:
Hm?

Shiskia:
Eh, what? You want to leave Gram Blaze Aegina!?

Aegina:
Shh, Shiskia! Keep your voice down!!

Jenon:
Hmm, the two of you won't be around, then. It'll be lonely without you......

Aegina:
Because of your shouting, Shiskia, everyone gathered around!

Garlot:
Can you tell us why, Aegina? Are you unhappy being with us?

Aegina:
No, it's not that......

Medoute:
Then why?

Aegina:
There is something sister and I must accomplish.
A more personal problem, one that does not coincide with Gram Blaze's
activities.
That is why, so as to not cause trouble for everyone, we would like to leave.

Garlot:
I see. If it's a reason like that then there's nothing we can do to stop you.

Shiskia:
Wait, hang on. Couldn't we help you out with what you want to do?

Medoute:
Leave it alone, Shiskia. Everyone has a thing or two in their past they want to
leave hidden.

Shiskia:
Hmm, I suppose so......
Sorry, Aegina.

Aegina:
It's fine. We're the ones causing everyone trouble, after all.

Garlot:
But it's not like you're planning to leave right now, right?

Aegina:
That's right. I would like to thoroughly discuss it with my sister first......

Garlot:
Then we've still got time. There's no need to rush.

Shiskia:
But, Aegina... if something happens that really bothers you, you can talk to us
any time.
Gram Blaze isn't all there is to us. There really are more important things.

Aegina:
Thank you, Shiskia......

Messenger:
Hah... hah... M- Master Garlot!

Garlot:
You're one of the soldiers in charge of the residence in our absence...

Messenger:
W- we've trouble! The residence is under attack...!!

Aegina:
Sis! Is sister alright!?

Leon:
How's Elena!?

Messenger:
My apologies, I barely managed to escape myself...

Leon:
You bitch, I'll kill you!! How dare you escape alone!

Medoute:
Control yourself Leon. She risked her life to get away and bring us this
information.

Leon:
Tch!!

Garlot:
All troops, full speed ahead! Hurry to the residence!!

Shiskia:

Zilva:
There's no doubt about it. It's the Divine Order.

Garlot:
Anyway, let's recapture the residence!

Aegina:

Garlot:
There's nothing we can do but continue to attack! We'll have to trust in
Luciana's quick thinking for the rest!

Luciana:
The pressure of their attack has lessened? Could Aegina and the others have
come to rescue us...?
Even if we hide in this narrow hallway we'll be found sooner or later. We must
find a way out!

Amy:
Are you okay? Aren't you scared?

Luciana:
.....There are times in your life that you must overcome your fear.
Besides, compared to the enemy Aegina and I must fight they are nothing!
.....Kh.

Amy:
Are you okay, Missy Luciana? What's wrong?

Elena:
Is your leg hurting? You really shouldn't be moving it so much...

Luciana:
I'm alright...
I'm sorry to have involved you in this...... It's my fault.

Amy:
It's okay, Missy Luciana.

Luciana:
In any case, it's dangerous here. We must get out of this ring of enemies
somehow...

Luciana:
Cough, cough...! A- Amy, Elena, run... away......

Amy:
No, no! We have to get away together!!

The elder one has been wounded fatally.

Amy:

Shiskia:
Aegina! Garlot! Over here!!

Garlot:
Are you three alright!?

Elena:
Amy and I are fine, but Miss Luciana......

Luciana:
Ugh... Aegina......

Medoute:
She's come to! Luciana!! Hang on, we'll treat you right now......

Luciana:
That is not necessary......
Aegina, I'm sorry... It looks like we won't be able to keep fighting for
revenge together...

Aegina:
No, I don't want to be left alone, Sis!
I made it this far because we were together. I can't do it alone......

Luciana:
If you don't think you can do it you don't have to......

Aegina:
Huh...?

Luciana:
You can live here... together with Master Garlot......
Live the way you want... that is my wish...... Do what you wish... and
smile......

|------------------------|
| LOSS OF LIFE |
|-One Mere Common Death.-|

Aegina:
Big Sis? Sis!? S- Sis!

Shiskia:
..This, this can't be! This isn't funny, Luciana, stop it......

Medoute:
..............
Losing a companion like this......

Zilva:
This is my fault...... it should have been my duty to keep track of the Divine
Order's movements......

Shiskia:
Sorry, Zilva. This isn't your fault, but I'd rather not speak with you right
now......

Garlot:
Damn it...! Just who are these Divine Order bastards!!
How is this God's will! It's all complete bull! Just what are they saying
Luciana and Aegina did...!

Aegina:
The Divine Order is probably a secret organization of the Fantasinian Kingdom.

Leon:
Huh?

Aegina:
The only ones who have something to gain from our deaths are the bastards of
the Fantasinian Kingdom. I've no doubt they're connected...

Jenon:
The Kingdom of Fantasinia is the large country next to ours, right? What would
they want with you two......

Garlot:
This is everyone's problem now. Can you explain it to us?

Aegina:
..Very well. I will tell you everything.
Sister and I are twins who were born in the Kingdom.
Our father's name is Ordene......

Jenon:
Ordene? Isn't that the king!?

Aegina:
That is correct.

Shiskia:
If that's true... you two are princesses of the Kingdom?

Aegina:
But as soon as we were born we were targeted by assassins.
Back then we got lucky and escaped danger, but as you see, in the end......

Jenon:
But why were you targeted?

Aegina:
That is because we are twins. In the Kingdom they are hated children. That is
how I understand it.

Shiskia:
That's the only reason?

Nessiah:
I see. If the firstborn are twins there is the possibility of complications
arising around succession rights.

Aegina:
A certain old soldier was the one to save us... He is the one who took us out
of the country.
And when we drifted to the Empire we were taken in and raised by Marquis
Albert.

Shiskia:
So that's what happened......

Aegina:
I don't know who is behind the assassination attempts, but I am sure that the
offender is someone from the Kingdom.

Shiskia:
This is why I hate nobles and royalty!
Going as far as killing babies in their lust for power. It's like they're not
human, really!

Aegina:
At any rate, the Kingdom abandoned us. They are an enemy that earned their
hatred.
They took away the place where we belong, targeted our lives, and killed
Sis......
The flames of my hatred will not be extinguished.

Shiskia:
Aegina......

Amy:
I'm sorry, Missy Aegina. I couldn't protect Missy Luciana......

Aegina:
You've no need to apologize, Amy.

Shiskia:
That's right. The killers are the ones whose fault it is.

Amy:
But if I had the strength to fight I could have helped somehow......

Shiskia:
You're just a child, Amy. It can't be helped.

Amy:
But I... I......

Medoute:
Everyone, let's take some time and rest. We're all still tired from the
expedition as well.

Aegina:
You're right.
But before that, please allow me to apply Sis's makeup one last time. Just
the two of us......

Garlot:
Okay. I'd like to give you that.
We'll decide what to do from here on out, including how to deal with the Divine
Order, in the morning.

Aegina:

========================================================================[Map45]
復讐
Revenge
Kanosa Highway

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map45.01]
A single night after Luciana's death Gram Blaze ran into another shock, the
sudden disappearance of Aegina.

Controlled by her desire for vengeance, they could think of just one place she
could have gone......

Garlot readied to chase after her, but Count Velleman had forbidden it.

The private army stirring up trouble with the royal army deviated far from
Count Velleman's stance... And having discarded Aegina their battles with the
Divine Order would quiet down...... That is why he said he would not approve
Gram Blaze's dispatchment.

But Garlot ignored Count Velleman's order and decided on his own to chase after
Aegina.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map45.02]
Shiskia:
.....Velleman sure is stubborn; telling us to abandon Aegina. Really, I'm so
mad!

Medoute:
As far as Count Velleman is concerned Gram Blaze's actions are his own.
I can understand what he's saying. Different people have different positions.
It can't be helped.

Garlot:
And as a result we came here without a word to Velleman......
It feels like we did something bad, but from here on out we'll decide things
ourselves.

Amy:
..I'm sorry, Missy Shiskia. I'm just in the way. I can't fight with
everyone......

Shiskia:
Don't say that! I couldn't fight when I was your age either, Amy.

Amy:
But I never do anything but house-sitting... Even after we've been driven out
of the house...
I'm not useful to anyone. I want to be useful.

Garlot:
Don't cry. You want to be strong, right?
If you hate being useless think of a way to get stronger and take that path.

Amy:
Oh, yeah...

Shiskia:
Hang on! What are you telling a child!

Elena:
..............

Leon:
Don't you brood over it too much either, Elena.

Elena:
Yes, brother. I understand, just......

Jenon:
We should hit the Kingdom's border any time now.

Medoute:
The city of Karona is on the border. If we just approach as is we'll be spotted
by the army border unit......

Leon:
Garlot! There's a royal army squad deployed straight ahead!!

Zilva:
From the looks of it they are engaged in battle. It looks like they've
surrounded their adversary.

Garlot:
Surrounded!? Could it be Aegina?

Aegina:
Gkh...!

Royal Army Officer:
Tighten the ring!! Don't let her step on Kingdom soil!
Nevertheless, who is this girl? She fights like a demon.
And her appearance resembles Princess Yggdra... The soldiers are having some
trouble.

Zilva:
There is no mistake; that is Aegina.

Medoute:
Let's go, Garlot! First let's save Aegina!!

Shiskia:
Amy, stay close to me!!

O- okay......

rebels in the Empire, Gram Blaze!?

This is bad! All troops, focus your attention in the direction of the Empire's
border!!

Rescuing Aegina is top priority. Break through them!

My revenge is a personal matter. That is why I left Gram Blaze and decided to
fight!

Garlot:
If I ignore senseless cruelty happening right in front of me, how can I change
the world!!
And besides, I will never abandon a friend! Never!!

Russell:
I will hold them back somehow. If they get past, Karona will become a
battlefield.
I will prevent that if nothing else.

Russell:
No...... They're strong!
Commander, I apologize...... I must retreat for the moment.

Invaders... Ones who intrude and assault the country... Fufu, I'm alright with
that.
Invaders to smash up the Kingdom!! That's fine, that's just what I wanted!!
Just wait, Sis... I will carry out our revenge!

-----------------------------------------------------
Shiskia:
Some of the scouts that went to check on the situation in Karona have returned.
It seems that that officer by the name of Russell set up a considerably strong
defense......

Zilva:
It would be difficult to attack from the front.

Nessiah:
Everyone, may I have a minute?
We have come here without telling Count Velleman.

Garlot:
Velleman's probably furious.

Nessiah:
Furious? It would be wonderful if that were all.

Garlot:
But... Ah, well... I suppose...

Nessiah:
I would like to discuss what to do from here on out. Am I correct in saying
that you plan to continue forcing your way into the Kingdom this way?

Aegina:
Yes, you are.
I am thinking of causing ruckus in the Kingdom while spreading my name to find
the one behind my sister's murder.

Nessiah:
I see......

Shiskia:
Aha, did you get cold feet, Nessiah?

Nessiah:
That's not it, but due to the drastic shift in our policies many of our
soldiers may be confused.

Garlot:
Yeah, Nessiah has a point. The right thing to do would be to decide on our
plans and inform the soldiers before entering the Kingdom.
First let me say what I think. I want to help Aegina in her fight.
And this includes Luciana as well; I could never forgive the senselessness of
someone trying to assassinate two young children.
But this has nothing to do with our previous goal of changing the Empire.
So those who want to leave the group speak up now. I won't turn back, so I
won't blame anyone.

Shiskia:
I agree with Garlot. How about everyone else?

Aegina:
..............

Garlot:
..............

Shiskia:
..Hm?

Jenon:
No one is saying anything. Are they......

Medoute:
That's not it. They're saying that no matter what you choose they will go with
you.

Leon:
Don't be stupid! I'm only along for this because messing up the Kingdom sounds
fun!

Eudy:
Sigh, you're so predictable.

Leon:
Shut your mouth!!

Garlot:
Then it's settled.

Aegina:
Thank you so much, everyone.
But I have one request...... I would like to have the role of captain.

Shiskia:
Huh? Really?

Aegina:
From now on we will be seen as invaders by the Kingdom.
There is no need for Master Garlot to bear the stigma of being the captain of
an invading army......

Jenon:
Hold on, hold on! The Royal Army already knows of Gram Blaze.
That won't change no matter who the captain is. And this will cause problems
for the Count as well.

Garlot:
Velleman, huh......

Jenon:
That's right! It would be best if we show ourselves as having a just cause as
we move forward.
Aegina is the Kingdom's princess, right? So let's emphasize the legitimacy of
her right to the throne.
If their enemy is a princess of their own country the Royal Army should be
shaken somewhat, and the Count can use the situation as well...
At least that's my idea. How about it?

Nessiah:
I see... And because we will be fighting for a just cause our morale should
rise as well.
And if the legitimacy of her blood is clear, we may even receive aid.
I believe this is a very good plan, yes.

Medoute:
Well, the part about Count Velleman is desperate, though.

Jenon:
Hahaha......

Garlot:
Then from here on out Gram Blaze is Aegina's personal guard.

Medoute:
I can't believe this. And yet, I have no problems with it either.

Jenon:
As we expected, Karona's defense is strong. Getting past it will be difficult.
But if it's hard to pass, it would be nice if we could avoid it instead.

Shiskia:
Avoid it? How? We could if we could fly, but we can't.

Jenon:
With a ship we could go around over the sea. We could borrow a few merchant
ships.

Nessiah:
Sigh, all the funds will be gone in one go......

| The Imperial Army? No, your equipment differs from that of the regular

| ...The private army of an imperial nobleman, Gram Blaze, then. Rumors of you

| Hn? This feeling... Do you have dark matter?

Defeat - Aegina Defeated (1st)

|-----------------------|
| KILLED IN ACTION |
|-A Warrior has Fallen.-|
|-----------------------|

Aegina:
I'm sorry, Sis... I cannot... go forward... anymore...

| |
| | RESCUE FAILED
| /\ | Aegina has lost her life in the violent battle!
|/ \|

Although Gram Blaze rushed to join up with Aegina, who was surrounded, her life
was lost. The Gram Blaze, crushed one by one, was annihilated...

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (2nd)-------------------------

Although Gram Blaze fought hard to repel the approaching Royal Army, Gram
Blaze's captain, Garlot, lost his life, and Gram Blaze vanished from history's
stage...

========================================================================[Map46]
覚醒
Awakening
Southern Karona - Rodney Road

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map46.01]
Once everyone unanimously decided to march to the kingdom's capital and
declared Aegina the heir to the throne, Garlot took on the role of the leader
of her guard.

Despite the castle Karona, standing on the way to the capital of Paltina, being
a great obstacle, thanks to Jenon's bold plan they procured a local ship to
sail around and thus they made it through without a fight.

The group marched hurriedly to the capital. Meanwhile, Russell, having noticed
their surprise attack on the capital, quickly organized a pursuit unit.

The two groups clashed on Rodney Road in southern Karona......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map46.02]
Garlot:
Quickly, get to the capital!

Shiskia:
Don't be ridiculous, Garlot. It's not like everyone here is on horseback.

Jenon:
But once Karona's army notices that, instead of being right outside the castle,
we've suddenly vanished they'll be quite surprised......
It's only a matter of time until they notice us. We have to hurry as much as we
can.

Aegina:
Thank you so much, everyone.

Garlot:
It's nothing, Aegina. Er, no, Princess Aegina.

Aegina:
Please, there is no need to call me that......

Jenon:
Huh, that does have a ring to it. Princess Aegina.

Aegina:
..............

Jenon:
Whoops, I'm just digging a hole for myself, aren't I?

Shiskia:
By the way, Garlot. You let Amy ride on horseback, but is she really okay?

Garlot:
She doesn't look too well... But she was the one who asked to ride.

Amy:
I- I'm... okay. Perfectly fine. No... problem.

Shiskia:
I knew it... Wouldn't it have been better to leave her with someone?

Garlot:
Isn't that irresponsible? You wouldn't neglect someone who's like a little
sister.
Besides the pipsqueak is strangely calm during battle. Is that because of all
the time you sent traveling?

Amy:
Maybe...... While I've traveled I've seen people be robbed and die.
So I can fight! Even though I'm not as strong as Mister Captain.

Garlot:
You can, really?

Shiskia:
No, Garlot! Amy is still a child!!

Garlot:
..Oh, yeah, right.

Amy:
Mn! I'm not a child!

|---------------------|
| ENCOUNTER |
|-Enemies Just Ahead.-|
|---------------------|

Royal Soldier:
There they are! There's no doubt!! They're the ones who killed the commander!
Quickly, a messenger! Get word to commandeer Russell right away!!

Jenon:
No, we've been found!

Medoute:
We have to rout them and move on! We must get away from here before Karona's
army catches up!!

Shiskia:
Amy, over here! It's too dangerous to be with the cavalry in battle!

Amy:
U- ugh......

/--Victory--------------

Royal Soldier:

Russell:
No, your bravery was not for naught! You have done well!!

Royal Soldier:
Commander... Russell......

Garlot:
No...... Russell caught up with us.
Now we have to defeat them as well......

|-------------------|
| REINFORCEMENTS |
|-Help has Arrived.-|
|-------------------|

Baldus:
Are you truly capable of that?

Medoute:
That's Baldus, the God of War!? Why is an Imperial General in the Kingdom?

Baldus:
We've received word from Count Velleman that you have taken his soldiers and
fled.
I've heard that you plan to start a conflict with the Kingdom and worsen our
relations with them.

Garlot:
Velleman, why you......

--SHISKIA IS ON THE MAP
| Shiskia:
| That's a sad thing to say. I bet Velleman thinks that we betrayed him as
| well.
|
|---JENON IS ON THE MAP
| Jenon:
| This isn't just Count Velleman being angry. We're the ones who up and left.
| There was no avoiding this......
|
|---MEDOUTE IS ON THE MAP
| Medoute:
| If the Count had not said that he would have been punished as well.
|
|---THE THREE ABOVE ARE NOT ON THE MAP
| Aegina:
| I doubt Count Velleman had any choice but to say that......
-----

/--Victory--------------
/ Survive the attack of the Royal and Imperial Alliance!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot or Aegina dies... /
Use up all your cards... /
---------------------/

Baldus:
Commander Russell, I would like to ask for the King's permission.
We the Imperial Army would like to assist in Gram Blaze's destruction.

Russell:
If you wish permission from His Highness one such as myself cannot give it.
But I also have the personal matter of avenging my commander.
I would like the judgment of their commander left to me.

Baldus:
Let us treat this delicately.

Garlot:
The Royal and Imperial armies have teamed up...... What do we do?

Amy:
Missy, Mister, I want to fight too...... I want to protect everyone too......

-----------------------------------------------------
| |
| | UNTIL THIS LIFE BURNS OUT
| /\ | Tough battle against Russell and Baldus's alliance!!
|/ \|

Garlot:
We're just barely surviving! Isn't there a way to break through?

Aegina:
Master Garlot...... Did I desire too much?

Garlot:
Aegina......

Aegina:
I've met such a strong and kind man such as yourself, and was blessed with so
many friends......
And I wanted to carry out my revenge on top of that. I must have desired too
much, right?

Garlot:
That's not true. You can't give up Aegina!!
If you don't give up and keep fighting you'll see your dream someday, so...!

Amy:
Don't give up and keep fighting......
That's right, I can't just say I have no power and give up...

Shiskia:
Amy?

Amy:
I won't give up, just like in my search for big brother...... I won't give up
and I'll fight!

Shiskia:
H- hang on, Amy! Where are you going? It's dangerous!!

Amy:
My power is sealed together with my real name. That's what that person
said......
So......

Royal Soldier:
.....U- ugh...

Amy:
My real name is Emilia! Give me back my power with my name!!

Royal Soldier:
..Hm? W- what?

Emilia:
Uwaaaa!!

|-----------------------|
| AWAKENING |
|-Hidden Blood Boiling.-|

Emilia:
..............

Aegina:
Miss Amy...?

Shiskia:
A- Amy...... Why did you get on a griffon?
Get down! It's dangerous!

Garlot:
What's the pipsqueak doing...?

--MEDOUTE IS ON THE MAP
| Medoute:
| Amy... That child...!
| My feelings are jumbled up. This is the first time I've ever felt something
| like this. What could it be?
-----

Emilia:
Hot...... The blood flowing around inside me is hot......
But I feel power rising up! I know I can fight now!

Russell:
What happened to that child? Mounting an abandoned griffon......

Baldus:
I feel a terrifying power from that young lady. What is she?

/--Victory--------------

-----------------After Battle---------------- [Map46.04]
| |
| | ESCAPED DANGER SOMEHOW
| /\ | Broke through the crisis with Emilia's help!!
|/ \|

Emilia:
Look at that! Wow! Now I can fight too!
I can be part of Mister Captain's troops!
And I can help Missy Shiskia and Missy Aegina!
Ahaha! I should have just gone by my real name from the start!
Ahahahahaha!

Garlot:
She really surprised me. Amy's got that much power...

Aegina:
If we didn't have Miss Amy repelling the enemy would have been so much more
difficult.
But, is this really for the best......

Shiskia:
Amy! That's enough, get down already!

Emilia:
Mis-sy Shiskia! It's not Amy, it's E-mi-li-a~!!

Shiskia:
Whichever, get down! It's really dangerous!

Emilia:
Ahahahaha! Ahahahahahahaha!

-----------------------------------------------------
Medoute:
Garlot, do you have a moment?

Garlot:
Hm? It's you, Medoute. Is this about leaving Gram Blaze?

Medoute:
That's something that can be discussed once we've finished with Aegina's
situation.
Right now I'd like to talk about Amy... rather, Emilia. Hasn't she been acting
a bit odd?

Garlot:
That is true, but isn't that just her being happy because she's got power now?

Medoute:
That's not what I'm talking about. I have this feeling. It's like my blood is
stirring......

Garlot:
Your blood is stirring? What does that mean?

Medoute:
To be honest, I'm a descendant of the dragon slayer Gill.

Garlot:
Dragon slayer Gill...... Oh, that guy that they say killed the demon dragon
Brongaa, right?

Medoute:
Yeah, though I'm only distantly related.
Ever since I was born I've been taught about the lineage of the hero and of
dragon slaying.
That part of me can feel it. Amy has the demon dragon's power.

Garlot:
Aren't you over-thinking it?

Medoute:
I hope that I am, but......

Garlot:
Though, if Emilia really does have Brongaa's blood, what are you gonna do?
Will you kill her because of your connection to Gill?

Medoute:
Of course not.
I wouldn't kill Amy for something like that.
Lineage is nothing important. It's- it's not.

Garlot:
In that case couldn't you just disregard that uncomfortable feeling?

Medoute:
That's true, you're right, but...
I hear that Brongaa's power changes people. Garlot, I'd like it if you could
keep an eye on Emilia.

Garlot:
Medoute is a dragon slayer...... I had no idea.
Brongaa's power changes people, huh......

Emilia:
Missy Shiskia, wasn't I helpful?

Shiskia:
Yeah,... you were, I was just a little startled.
But how about you not do anymore dangerous stuff, okay?

Emilia:
I'll be fine! I'm strong now!

Shiskia:
But you know we'll still worry. So do you think you can listen to me?

Emilia:
..Oh, okay.

Garlot:
We're over thinking it. She wouldn't change just by getting some power.

| It seems that you're at least a little capable, but, I will make you regret

帰郷
Homecoming
Capital of Paltina - Main Entrance

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map47.01]
Emilia took on her true name and took back the power sealed within her.

Thanks to her contribution the group escaped their predicament.

Emboldened by the addition of another powerful fighter, Gram Blaze moved toward
the capital.

The group, having been hindered once, pressed on through a blitz assault Jenon
suggested, and finally neared capital Paltina.

Under an enemy assault, the capital trembled.

But the group, with a great disadvantage in numbers, wanted to end the fighting
before the chaos settled down. They wanted the battle to be swift.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map47.02]
Shiskia:
Garlot! I've spotted a battalion deployed in front of the castle!

Jenon:
Their numbers are quite small, and I don't think it's due to them sending their
best, either.

Medoute:
It looks like something's shaken them up, not at all like Karona's troops.
Did they get caught flat footed by our blitz?

Nessiah:
No, even on that point, this situation is not logical. Let us not neglect our
caution.
That aside, the ones in front of us are a problem. One we must remove.

Aegina:
This is the royal capital Paltina...
Just a little longer, Sis......

Emilia:
Hey, Big Bro Captain, is the fighting starting again?

Garlot:
Yes, soon. Though if reinforcements come we'll be in trouble.

Emilia:
I want to hurry up and fight. We just have to beat up the enemy, right?
So let's start already!

Medoute:
..............

Eudy:
Ah? That man on top of the castle gate...... We've met him before.

Garlot:
Isn't he that Minister who showed up when we nabbed the Ur's Tear?

Zilva:
That man is the founder of the Divine Order.

Garlot:
Really?

Zilva:
Yes, though he does not make a habit of showing his face, I can tell from his
mannerisms.

Aegina:
He is the mastermind!

Jenon:
Who's the other person with him? Looks like a young lady. She looks a little
like Aegina......

Aegina:
What? Is it Princess Yggdra!?

Shiskia:
You mean... That's Luciana and Aegina's little sister?

Aegina:
She's no sister of ours! She is nothing more than a despicable brat who built
her life on our sacrifices and took all the affection of the royal family for
herself!!

Shiskia:
You don't have to yell like that......

Yggdra:
Whose troops are those?

Alanjame:
They are the Empire's troops, Princess.
That said, they are not the regular army, just some ruffian faction. Mere
rebels, you could say.
Sigh...... If they want to raise a ruckus they should do it in their own
country.

Yggdra:
Then, those troops have come to start war in our kingdom? How horrible!

Alanjame:
And moreover, it may not be a nice thing to bay, but they... No, it is too much
for me to even say it.

Yggdra:
What is it? Please tell me, Alanjame.

Alanjame:
Well, honestly... they are using the name of your elder sister to make a claim
for the throne of our royal family.

Yggdra:
To say such a thing... How cruel......
That deserves judgment. In the name of justice and the Holy Sword......

Alanjame:
Princess...... It is about time we return inside.
The fighting is about to begin. If you are hurt by a stray arrow His Highness
would never forgive me.

Yggdra:
Very well...... please help us return to the days of peace as quickly as
possible.

Alanjame:
Now, prepare the canon! Be gentle with it, gentle!!

Garlot:
No way, they're getting a canon ready!!

Eudy:
Ah? That canon... That's a high quality product.
I'm so jealous! The kingdom has such good understanding of firearms, not at all
like the Empire.

Jenon:
This isn't the time to be so easygoing! We can't attack it up on the castle
walls!

Emilia:
I'll do it! I can get up there easy!!

Garlot:
Ah, hey! Don't act without orders!

Shiskia:
But, you know, that really saves us. We can't cope with canon fire from above.

Jenon:
That's true. Let's leave the canon to Emilia and focus on breaking through the
gate!

Those are Divine Order soldiers......
I may not have been informed, but it seems there really is a connection between
the Kingdom and the Divine Order......

Emilia:
What's this~. There are so few of you. That's a bummer.

Emilia:
And you don't react at all, that sucks too...... I'll take care of you quick.

Aegina:
..Alright.

-----------------------------------------------------
Emilia:
I did it everyone! Praise me, praise me~!

Shiskia:
Good job, Emilia. Thanks to you a lot fewer people got hurt.

Emilia:
Ehehe~! I can help even more!

Garlot:
Somehow we made it all this way. Nessiah's planning and Jenon's tactics worked
great.

Jenon:
Honestly I didn't expect that things would go as well as they did.

Shiskia:
That's not like you. Why aren't you cocky like always now that you're finally
being praised?

Jenon:
I'm just surprised. Toppling a country with just a single plan like this, it's
hard to believe right away.

Nessiah:
I too am worried about that. No matter what their circumstances were, they
shattered too easily.
It's unthinkable that, under normal circumstances, this is all it would take to
break through a castle gate.

Medoute:
Now that you mention it, common sense would say that this is too few troops to
have in a defense squad.

Leon:
Couldn't they just be underestimating us?

Medoute:
Or, perhaps it's some kind of invitation.

Zilva:
.....Captain.

Garlot:
What is it, Zilva?

Zilva:
Aegina is gone.

Garlot:
Aegina? Don't tell me she went alone...!

再会
Reunion
Castle Paltina - Audience Chamber

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map48.01]
Garlot and the others, having broken through the gates of the capital, felt
uneasy at the lack of resistance.

Just as the group was taking caution of an enemy trap, news of Aegina's
disappearance struck them.

Aegina, filled with desire for vengeance against the kingdom, stormed into the
castle, into the audience chamber. There, in the place she had struggled so
hard to reach, her reunion with a certain person had come to pass.

Meanwhile Gram Blaze, wanting to know where Aegina was, advanced into the
castle the Divine Order had vanished into...

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map48.02]
Aegina:
Castle Paltina. The castle we were born in and driven out of......
The castle where we were supposed to have lived.
Sis, I've returned!
I am not here for the crown! Only to fulfill our revenge!!
Princess Yggdra! Do you hear me!
While you were dressing up in dresses we were swinging our swords focused on
nothing but achieving our revenge.
While you were being showered with love we were distracting ourselves from our
misery with hatred.
I hate you, our replacement who lived so comfortably, to the point of killing
you!
I will not put up with it any longer! All my patience was for this moment, the
moment when I kill you!
Where are you Yggdra! I'll kill you here and now!

Aegina:

Man in High Class Clothing:
Fantasinia's 31st king, Ordene.

Aegina:
Ordene!? Then, you mean that you're my ...

Ordene:
Letting the enemy get this far...... It seems the responsibility of managing
our defenses was a bit much for Alanjame.
If he had just asked for help there would be no need for me to come deal with
this......

Aegina:
King Ordene. I......

Ordene:
Stop, invader. Invading by force is a thing I will not forgive, no matter what
the reason.
It is my duty, as a king, to protect my country, and as a father, to protect my
daughter.

Aegina:
As a king, and as a father......

Come, invader. I will be your rightful opponent.

Aegina:
You still pretend you don't know! How cunning!
The swords are already drawn! Don't bother reaching out now......
Let's go, Ordene! My sword will cut you to pieces!!

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map48.03]
Ordene:
What a strong sword that is to stand up to the Gran Centurio... It does not
seem to be an ordinary long sword.

Aegina:
My sister is always beside me. The weight of my blade is from our resentment.

Ordene:
Tell me, young lady!
Are you saying that you, a citizen of the Empire, have some sort of grudge
against me, the ruler of this kingdom?

Aegina:
A citizen... of the Empire......
You're wrong! I am not from the Empire!!

Ordene:
Hm?

-----------------------------------------------------
Ordene:
Tell me, why do you hate me and the Kingdom?

Aegina:
And now you try to placate me! After all this!

Ordene:
I am not!! I merely wish to know the reason!

Aegina:
Is this what victory feels like?
I've killed the father that abandoned me. That too was part of my revenge.
But now that I've succeeded I feel nothing but emptiness.
What did I gain from this? Tell me, Sis, Luciana......

Ordene:
.....Luciana, Aegina. I've not heard those names in so long.

Aegina:
........!!

Ordene:
Luciana, Aegina. The names of the two princesses that were born and died while
I was away on campaign......
But the more I hear, the more I feel that you are Aegina......
Are you... a spirit?
Has Aegina, who died so young, been resurrected and come before her father to
cleanse her anger...?

Garlot:
Hang on, what are you talking about?

Jenon:
We've been told that when they were born someone tried to assassinate them and
they fled to the Empire......

Ordene:
Assassinate?
That's not true. The two were frail of body and died soon after they were born.

Aegina:
Don't lie! Didn't you try and kill us because twins were hated here!?

Jenon:
The stories don't match. One of the two, or perhaps a third party is lying.

Medoute:
King Ordene...... Could you tell us a little more about the twins' deaths?

Ordene:
Around the time the queen was due to give birth I had to leave to suppress a
revolt of a savage tribe in the east.
Before battle I received word of the delivery and the infants' premature death.
When I returned, all I had to hold were two cold babes...

Shiskia:
Then, you mean, Luciana and Aegina had already died then?

Aegina:
That cannot be...
I know I am alive! And Sis was as well, until a few days ago......
That, that's a lie... You will not confuse me with it!

Jenon:
Calm down, Aegina. Let's hear the whole story.

Ordene:
..............

Jenon:
As I said, someone else is lying.

Medoute:
If that's the case it would have to be the one who reported the death of twins.

Nessiah:
That's right. The chance that Aegina is lying is exceedingly small.
That is because she continues to be relentlessly pursued by the Divine Order
who act as the vanguard for the Kingdom.

Aegina:
And who killed Sis.

Ordene:
It can't be... Then who were the dead infants I held that day...?

Jenon:
I think they were likely replaced. Since the king was away they had a chance to
make preparations.

Medoute:
But finding another pair of twins as a replacement is a difficult task. If this
person did not have great power...

Shiskia:
And he's also the Divine Order's...

Jenon:
That's right, the Divine Order's founder. Alanjame!

Oh my, it seems His Highness is not the only one here.
But not even a strong swordsman like you can evade an arrow while injured.

Ordene:
It was you, Alanjame... Why such violence......?

Alanjame:
My plan of twenty years is finally being realized.
Originally this plan was supposed to take a little more time to be ready......
But thanks to the ladies and gentlemen of this private army I was able to
shorten it! I really must thank you.

Aegina:
Then the one who contributed to the attempts on our lives when we were young
was......

Alanjame:
Yes, that was me. You were a hindrance to my plan. I thought you had better
disappear.

Medoute:
A hindrance!?

Alanjame:
In my public role as the king's faithful minister... And behind the scenes as
the head of the Divine Order I remove that which hinders me......
Honestly, my plan went quite smoothly. Thanks to the king's simpleminded
honesty.

Ordene:
..............

Alanjame:
Honestly, the reason you had to die was not because you were the heir to the
throne.
But twins were a problem...... With twins it was obvious that the question of
succession would turn messy.
It would be the worst thing for the country if it were split by rising disputes
caused by having twins as heirs.

Aegina:
And you tried to kill us for a ridiculous reason like that! You killed Sis for
that!!

Alanjame:
Ridiculous reason? You just don't understand the greatness of my plans. Truly
you are a second-rate princess.
On that point princess Yggdra is outstanding. Having grown up pampered in every
way she has no reason to doubt my words.
And now she's my puppet. He he he!

Shiskia:
..............

Leon:
You're disgusting.

Zilva:
Toying with the lives of others, how terrible of the Order's founder. I am
embarrassed to have served you......

Alanjame:
Oho...... Are you not that traitor who turned her back on God's Will and left
the Divine Order.

Zilva:
God's Will? That's irrelevant! I do as I wish!

Alanjame:
You were also a poor puppet. All this foolhardy opposition......
Puppets should act as such and quietly do as I say!

Aegina:
We're not puppets! We'll survive God's Will, much less you deciding that we're
unnecessary!!

Alanjame:
That's enough of that. It's time I send you to join your sister!

Garlot:
Being used like puppets...... Do you think we'd accept living like that?
You think I'd allow that kind of senselessness!?
There's no way! Your life is worthless!!

Alanjame:
Say whatever you want! There's only one thing left before my brilliant plan is
realized!
Once you're all taken care of, everything can be explained with the king and
the rebels having killed each other!

Jenon:
That's why the castle guard was so sparse. So that you could use us to achieve
your coup d'etat!!

Garlot:
Just how low can you get!!

carelessness that allowed this to happen.

Jenon:
Is that why you refuse to be treated? That's stupid!

Shiskia:
That's right! Isn't it that minister who was evil?

I should have put my role as a father before my role as a king managing his
retainers.

be called a father.

I abandoned you girls and let Yggdra become Alanjame's puppet, leading everyone
to misery.
I deserve to be punished......
A man like me... shouldn't be able to be a father.

Garlot:
..............
This isn't about whether you should be allowed or not.
Aegina doesn't hate you. She's gotten her revenge.

Aegina:
Master Garlot......

Ordene:
..I......

Aegina:
..............

Yggdra:
F- Father!?

Aegina:
........!?

Yggdra:
You are those rebels, are you not...?
Insolent villains! Step away from father! If you do not......

Ordene:
Stop, Yggdra......

Yggdra:
Father, but...!

Ordene:
Yggdra... these people are not the enemy.
I've told you of them before. Of your sisters.

Yggdra:
S- sisters......?

Ordene:
They were alive... They fled from assassins' evil grasp.
Alanjame tried to seize the kingdom and arranged for the assassins... The
culprit behind it all was..

Alanjame:
Guraaaaagh!!

Jenon:
No! He's still alive!?

Alanjame:
Both the princesses have arrived! This is the best chance to kill you all at
once!!
This country belongs to me! If I can't have it, no one will!! Ha ha ha ha ha
ha!!

Yggdra:
Huh... What? What is happening?

Aegina:
Kyaaaaaa......

Ordene:
Ugh...!!

Yggdra:
F- father! Father!!

Aegina:
He protected us. That's...!

Alanjame:
Cough, m- my final attack was...... Uwaaaaa!!

|-One Mere Common Death.-|

Garlot:
Damn, he's dead.

Nessiah:
He used up the last of his strength. People's tenacity is tremendous. It is not
something to take lightly.

Ordene:
Cough, cough......!!

Aegina:
Why go so far to...!

Ordene:
.....I wanted to protect my daughters. That is all...

Aegina:
Daughters...?

Ordene:
Hear me, Yggdra... Make our country prosper and protect it... That is the duty
of the royal family.
You must keep watch so that another man like Alanjame does not appear.
..Do you understand?

Yggdra:
Yes, father.

Ordene:
Aegina......

Aegina:
Y- yes.

Ordene:
You who have lived away from the royal family must have a different lifestyle.
I cannot force you to remain in the kingdom.
But if you wish to stay I will not stop you. It would make me happy if you
stayed and worked for the good of the Kingdom with Yggdra.

Aegina:
..............

Ordene:
You have companions... I'm sure they come to aid you when you lose your way.
You said your name was Garlot. Please take care of my daughter, Aegina......

Garlot:
I'd do that even if you didn't ask. Aegina's a friend.

Ordene:
I've said all I wanted to say.

Yggdra:
Father, please, let us find a doctor.

Jenon:
That's right!

Ordene:
No, it's already too late, it's already......

Yggdra:
Father......

Ordene:
And besides, there is another daughter who I do not wish to leave lonely.

Aegina:
You mean, Luciana...?

Ordene:
Aegina, trust and be trusted by your companions, and live!

Aegina:
F- father......

Ordene:
Farewell my beautiful, noble daughters who call me their father......

Shiskia:

Garlot:
Yeah......
But Aegina's fight is just beginning.
Let's all support her.

Medoute:
That's right. If you have no hope continuing to fight is difficult.
Aegina has regained her hope. Luciana should be happy too.

Shiskia:
All that's left is Aegina's feelings... It's okay. Everything will be okay.

Aegina:
..............

Yggdra:
.....Father is gone. Dead.
What am I supposed to do?

Aegina:
..............

Yggdra:
Elder sister, please don't go!

Aegina:
Don't. A woman who tries to kill you cannot be a sister.
A sister is someone much kinder. There is no doubt about that.

Yggdra:
Father called you his daughter. Therefore you must be my elder sister.
I've lived my life not knowing anything about you......
I'm sure it must have been difficult for you. I understand if you cannot
forgive me.

Aegina:
That's ridiculous...... I'm the one who has no right to be forgiven.
I thought of nothing but revenge and wanted to crush you completely. If anyone
should be punished it's me...

Yggdra:
But it's too sad to part on these terms.
I'm sure mother too would......

Aegina:
Mother? Your- our mother is here!?

Yggdra:
Yes, I will introduce you.

Aegina:
Mother......

After that, Princess Yggdra explained everything to her people...... Her
sister's survival, her father's death, the scheming of their minister, Alanjame.

And the two princesses declared that they will support the kingdom from here on.

The two princesses were wildly greeted by the people.

Princess Aegina and Princess Yggdra, and next to the two princesses, remaining
as their personal guard was Gram Blaze,

Holding hope in their hearts!

Struggling to destroy the mastermind, Alanjame, Aegina lost her life. Having
lost the one they were supposed to protect, Gram Blaze too was annihilated...

Castle Paltina - Audience Chamber

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map50.01]
With the defeat of the mastermind Alanjame and the death of Ordene, Aegina's
revenge was complete.

Although her scars from the kingdom were deep, Aegina reconciliated with
Princess Yggdra and her mother, the queen. She returned to the royal family and,
swearing to put her efforts into rebuilding the kingdom, pushed ahead.

The kingdom, despite grieving for the king it lost, tried to take a new step
forward. To continue toward peace.

However, there was one who did not joyfully accept this......

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map50.02]
Aegina:
..............

Yggdra:
Elder sister... can you not sleep?

Aegina:
Not really......

Yggdra:
May I join you?

Aegina:
.....Alright.

Aegina:
..............

Yggdra:
..............

Aegina:
..............

Yggdra:
Elder sister...

Aegina:
You don't have to address me like that, Yggdra. Just 'Sis' is fine.
That's what I used to call Luciana......

Yggdra:
Alright then, Sis.

Aegina:
Though, even though I asked you to call me that, hearing it out loud is kind of
embarrassing.
Still, it's not bad.

Yggdra:
I think so too.
Sis. Will you live here with me and help me support the Kingdom?

Aegina:
I would like to live in this country. Together with Yggdra......
But sometimes I worry. Will Sis, will Luciana forgive me for being happy like
this...
Can you forgive me, Sis......

Yggdra:
Remember what mother said. Familial bonds and happiness surpass time.
I'm sure if we're happy Sis Luciana will surely be happy as well......

Emilia:
Everyone keeps saying that. That they're happy that there's no fighting......

Aegina:
Ah, Emilia. What is it?

Emilia:
But it's because the fighting started that we got to know each other.

Aegina:
Fighting? The fighting's over now, so......

Emilia:
No, it's not over.
Because......
Because I'll start it again!!

Yggdra:
Ah......

Aegina:
Yggdra!?

Yggdra:
Aah... S- Sis...

Aegina:
Emilia! How could you...!

Emilia:
Giggle... See, now the fighting can continue.

Aegina:
E- Emilia?

Garlot:
Aegina! What's happened!!

Aegina:
M- Master Garlot... Emilia... Yggdra is...!

Garlot:
What?

Emilia:
Ah, Big Bro Captain. The fighting's starting again!
Let's fight more. That way I can be useful again.

Garlot:
What's wrong with you!

Emilia:
Let's fight! Let's fight! More, more, more, more!!
More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more,
more, more

Emilia:
Let's fight some more~!!

Nessiah:
Hm, this is......

Garlot:
What's going on, you're...

Medoute:
Garlot! It's Brongaa's blood! The power in her blood has awakened fully!
She feared that if the fighting stopped now she would return to being a useless
child...
And that fear worked as fuel for the corrosive power of Brongaa's blood to
consume her.

Shiskia:
But killing Princess Yggdra isn't necessary for that!

Jenon:
No, now that King Ordene is dead, Yggdra, who the people know of, is essential
for preserving the Kingdom...
Attacking Yggdra to start conflict in the Kingdom is all too precise of an
action......

Aegina:
Yggdra, Yggdra......

This can't be. No way!!

Emilia:
Ahahahaha! More and more~!!

Medoute:
Is this the end result of all who have Brongaa's blood in their veins......

Garlot:
Emilia, this is......

Medoute:
Garlot. There's no stopping her now. She will keep destroying until she dies.
She can't go back to the way she was before. To stop her, there's nothing we
can do but finishing her off.

Garlot:
.....There's nothing else?

Medoute:
No... I'm sorry......

/--Victory--------------
/ Stop Emilia's rampage...!!

----------------------Defeat--/
Garlot dies... /

Emilia:
Let's fight more and more! Ahahahahaha!

Garlot:
Emilia... You wanted power that much?
I wanted power too. But that was only because there was senseless cruelty
before me that I couldn't defeat...
Was just being together with us not enough for you?
I just don't know......

=====================================================================[EndingB2]
Emilia:
Uwaaaaaaa!!
I believed too... That when I fought and won, I was useful to everyone,
but...!!

Garlot:
Sorry, Emilia......
This is my fault for not noticing the pain you were in that made you break your
seal......

Garlot:
..............

Jenon:
Shiskia, how's Aegina doing?

Shiskia:
It's not looking good......

Medoute:
It's only natural. After all she lost a sister who she just reconnected with.
And right in front of her, by Emilia's hand......

Jenon:
What will happen to the Kingdom of Fantasinia?

Garlot:
Aegina's the only heir to the throne they have now.

Medoute:
In the eyes of the Kingdom's people Aegina and us are outsiders.
And before that matter could be settled Yggdra died......

Shiskia:
I wonder what we should do.

Aegina:
..............

Shiskia:
Aegina... Are you okay now?

Aegina:
I'll feel nothing but sadness if I lock myself away with my pain.
And Sis and Yggdra certainly can't be happy.
I am here to let everyone know what I've decided.
I promised Yggdra that I will live here and support the Kingdom.
I will be this country's Princess.
I know it will not be easy. However, I wish to realize Gram Blaze's ideals in
the Kingdom.
Everyone, I wish to ask of you to lend me your strength.

Shiskia:
Aegina, I've decided too. I'll live here with you.

Jenon:
I don't know how much help I'll be, but if you're okay with it...

Aegina:
Shiskia, Sir Jenon, thank you.

Zilva:
Is there... anything I can do?

Aegina:
Of course, Zilva. It's reassuring to have you stay.

Leon:
I'll live here, together with Elena. But I don't know if I'll be able to stop
fighting.

Eudy:
As long as you fund my canon research I'll help you out.

Shiskia:
No one else would go as far as to say that......

Garlot:
Aegina. I've made my decision too. Can I speak?

Aegina:
Yes, of course.

-----------------------------------------------------
Medoute:
..Whops. What is it? You stopped suddenly.

Garlot:
..............
..Ah, sorry, I was just remembering something.
About what started this whole journey.
Back then I got some power and felt like I could do something.
But in the end it led to my friends' blood and tears.
What exactly did I do with that power that I got......

Medoute:
You said you started to doubt what power really is.

Garlot:
Yeah, I think I've never thought very hard about what power means.
So, Medoute. What exactly is power?

Medoute:
I don't know. Don't ask me.

Garlot:
You're always like that......

Medoute:
Don't make it sound so trivial.
I'm not a philosopher, or some religious founder. Look for the meaning
yourself!

Garlot:
Yes, yes.

Medoute:
I'm searching too, you know.

Garlot:
Hm? For what?

Medoute:
The meaning in my blood.

Garlot:
Huh. Do you think you found it?

Medoute:
I've been thinking about that lately.
I think it's not what you find that's important but the effort that you put
into it, and the course you take.

Garlot:
Hm......
Hey, Medoute. If, say, I had Brongaa's blood in me, just like Amy did, what
would you do?
Would you kill me once that power awakened? Seeing as you're of the dragon
slayer's lineage.

Medoute:
Dragon slaying has nothing to do with it. What would determine that is you as a
person and as a friend.

Garlot:
So, you haven't been caught yet, Medoute.

Medoute:
Hm, who knows.

Garlot:
If I'd noticed that, I'd have frantically rushed ahead.
But even with that being important too, there could be things I never learn of
if I never let it go.

Medoute:
That's right. And that's why we're on this journey.
But we'd best return sooner than later.
Or Shiskia will be furious.

Garlot:
Why are you bringing up Shiskia with that?

Medoute:
You really don't get it, do you...

-----------------------------------------------------
Garlot and Medoute's continue on their journey.

Its destination is not one that can be marked on a map.

Garlot's goal, Medoute's goal,

The answer to what power means, what blood means, and the way to get to that
answer......

While exchanging thoughts on those topics, their journey does not stop.

What met them on that journey may well be told another time.

But for now all that is written is that the pair's journey has just begun.

はじまりのおわり
The End of the Beginning
Outskirts of Tiera - Private Army Housing

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map51.01]
Information regarding the fact that the Bronquian Empire's Emperor, Soltier,
had fallen ill had reached Count Velleman.

The illness was a deadly one, brought about by a side effect of the contract
with Brongaa which the Emperors had sustained for generations.

If the situation was left as is, the Emperor would die and without an heir the
country will inevitably fall into civil war.

And if they were responsible for the Emperor's recovery, their influence within
the Empire would surely rise.

And so, to treat the Emperor, Velleman called for a specialist on the demon
dragon by the name of Beatrine from distant lands.

Beatrine informed them that unless she saw the patient first-hand she couldn't
say is the treatment would work or not.

Gram Blaze returned to the residence and quickly prepared to leave for the
capital.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map51.02]
Shiskia:
Uuuuuh...... Really, I can't believe this.

Jenon:
Why we have to save the Emperor, right?
If the Emperor dies, though, we'll end up in the middle of a civil war.

Shiskia:
But isn't it the Emperor's fault in the first place that the country is in such
a mess?
And despite that we're still gonna save him...

Beatrine:
I understand how you feel.
But it is that will that desired the Emperor's control that brought about the
contract with Brongaa.
For generations the Imperial Family has drunk Brongaa's blood, carrying out the
ritual and the contract.

Shiskia:
Brongaa's blood... really exists?

Velleman:
The demonic dragon Brongaa is dead, certainly. They shave off the remaining
marrow and ingest that.

Shiskia:
Bleh......

Beatrine:
It's a powerful contract that immediately kills those who have no resistance to
the blood and the contract.
It is likely that Emperor Soltier's body, though slowly, is being eaten away by
the blood and the ritual.
This is in no way something he brought up on his own.

Shiskia:
Huh, really. But even then......

Medoute:
A side effect of the blood and the contract...?

Beatrine:
The true nature of Brongaa's blood is to destroy and victimize, and the power
of aggression.
The more one uses that power, the more the they lose their humanity...... That
is the kind of power it is.

Medoute:
.....I see. Brongaa, huh.

Beatrine:
If the results of my research can free him from his suffering I will be happy.

Garlot:
.....Makes sense.

Jenon:
And if the treatment is successful, our relationship with the Emperor might
change.

Aegina:
It may be able to help Count Velleman enact change.

Shiskia:
Velleman is gonna be involved in national politics? So is he gonna make us work
even harder for the sake of the Empire......

Nessiah:
No matter how much you gossip about the future, it is a wasted effort.

Garlot:
That's true... Let's hurry and get ready.

Medoute:
Though, the connection between the Bronquian Empire and the demon dragon runs
deep.

Garlot:

given up......

Beatrine:
Is she an acquaintance?

Shiskia:
It would take too long to explain... But basically, she was a subordinate of a
criminal we removed and since then she's been after us.

Beatrine:
..I see. Then, this will turn into a battle.

Cerica:
Grrrr... Why... why won't Cerica's feelings reach...

Garlot:
Cerica, let's stop this.

Cerica:
No way, no way--!! Cerica won't give up on getting revenge!

Garlot:
Gram Blaze rivals an army in size and power. There's nothing you could do to
beat that.

Cerica:
Cerica said no! Cerica won't stop, no matter who tells her to!

Garlot:
In that case I really will have to kill you one day......

Cerica:
Bring it on then, Cerica'd like to see you try! C'mon! Cerica'll take you on!!

Beatrine:
Miss Cerica, why do you fight?

Cerica:
Cerica just told you! She's getting revenge for Commander David!!

Beatrine:
And why was he defeated by Gram Blaze? Have you thought of the reason?
Was it not because he was doing something that earned him his fate?

Cerica:
That's got nothing to do with this!

Beatrine:
That is not true.
I am not saying that it is wrong to feel sad and grieve for the dead......
But is it alright to turn to hostility and say that it's because you cannot
overcome your sadness yourself?

Cerica:
W- what are you talking about......

Beatrine:
Please accept your sorrow. Since you focused on it, how many followers have you
lost?
Your grief has drawn other people into misery.

Cerica:
.....D- don't say that!

Beatrine:
Please overcome your companion's death. While you are only grieving......

Cerica:
But I can't help but be sad......
Commander David found me and raised me......
How am I supposed to live now......

Garlot:
Cerica......

Cerica:
Don't say anymore!
I get it, but there's nothing else I can do.

Beatrine:
Look behind you, Cerica. At the people who followed you all this way.
What would happen to them if they lost you?
Continuing to be bound by the chain of misery will not give you anything.
Please, live your life, Cerica. Find a man that you love and raise a child with
him.
And wish the same of your followers. That is the chain of life.

Cerica:
.....I'll retreat, Garlot.
But my resentment for you will never vanish.

Garlot:
I know.

Cerica:
But I'll stop trying to kill you. It won't make my sadness go away.

|------------------|
| RETREAT |
|-Time to Regroup.-|

Jenon:
Amazing... Making Cerica retreat like that.

Beatrine:
I merely spoke my own feelings frankly. She will surely overcome this. And
choose to live.

-----------------------------------------------------
Shiskia:
Wow, phew, that made me tear up a little.

Medoute:
Those were heartwarming words.

Jenon:
And they were particularly effective too. They had a motherly feel to them.

Shiskia:
Huh... So it felt like talking to mom.
Hey, Miss Beatrine, do you have any children?

Beatrine:
Yes, just one. But we were separated before he was old enough to have any
awareness of the world around him......

Shiskia:
Oh, I... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.

Beatrine:
.....Don't let it worry you.

Amy:
Yaaawn, that was a good nap...

Shiskia:
Amy... Were you really asleep this whole time?

Amy:
Yeah, I was. Did something happen?
Ah, it's Miss Beatrine!

Beatrine:
Ah, it's been a long time. Miss Amy, was it not?

Amy:
Yep, Amy's right.

Garlot:
What, you two know each other?

Beatrine:
Just for a little while, while Miss Amy was much, much younger......

Amy:
Yep, she cast a magic spell on me!

Jenon:
Really? What a coincidence.

Shiskia:
Oh yeah, hey Amy. Big sis and everyone's gonna be away for a little while, so
you're the lady of the house, okay?

Amy:
Yep! I got it. I'll be good and take care of things here!

Nessiah:
Seems this situation's become quite complicated...

Embers
Outskirts of the Capital - Arc of Triumph

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map52.01]
Beatrine, having reached the capital with Gram Blaze, spoke with Emperor
Soltier and implied, from looking at certain abnormalities, that a magical
operation to suppress the demonic blood may be necessary.

Though the Emperor refused the operation at first, with the persuasion from the
Imperial Guard Leader, Lapis, he resolved to undergo it.

However, there was one person who spread word about the Emperor's illness,
information that should have been top secret, and fanned the people's unrest.

Having survived, and with his masterful skill at persuasion, he once again
gathered the rebel elements throughout the country, and marched on the capital.

While Beatrine was attending to the surgery, Gram Blaze awaited Pandra's forces
in front of the Arc of Triumph......

The curtain was finally rising on the last bloody battle with the rebel army.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map52.02]
Jenon:
I can't believe Pandra was alive......

Shiskia:
It's Pandra. You can't expect him to die from something like a fall off a
cliff.
Sigh, it'd be nice if like with Cerica, he'd get scared off by Miss Beatrine
and run away......

Medoute:
That's an interesting thought, but, well, it won't happen.

Jenon:
But he got back on his feet quite well. It hasn't been all that long since we
dismantled the rebel army.

Nessiah:
As expected, his skill in persuasion along with his confident appearance is
quite effective.

Medoute:
He probably spread the information of the Emperor's illness and gathered those
dissatisfied once more.

Nessiah:
Emperor Soltier is a military man... If there is an uprising he might lead the
army to come suppress it.
However, if the Emperor has become ill, that is a different matter.

Jenon:
I see... This is just the thing Pandra would do, what with his specialty at
winning people over.

Aegina:
Yes, but, where could Pandra have obtained information of the Emperor's
illness?

Velleman:
That I do not know. It may just be a halfhearted lie he came up with.

Beatrine:
Count Velleman, I have a request.

Velleman:
Ah, Lady Beatrine. What can I do for you?

Beatrine:
Due to the difficulty of this procedure I am somewhat worried to do it alone. I
would like to ask for someone to assist me.
However, it cannot be just anyone.
I would ask for someone with knowledge in the magical arts, preferably someone
with high proficiency......

Velleman:
I see......

Nessiah:
Shall I do it? I have some knowledge regarding the demon dragon as well.

Velleman:
That's right...... In that case we leave it to you, Nessiah.

Nessiah:
I will do my best to be of help.

Beatrine:
Thank you, Sir Nessiah.

Nessiah:
Then, shall we begin......

Shiskia:
So what exactly is a magical operation?

Jenon:
Isn't it when you open the patient's body up with some sharp tool?

Shiskia:
What!? That's painful to just hear. Don't say things like that!

Jenon:
That's normal of an operation.

Garlot:
..............

Medoute:
Garlot? What is it?

Garlot:
It's nothing, I just have this feeling like I've seen Beatrine somewhere
before......

Shiskia:
Really? Looks like she knew Amy as well......

Garlot:
That's enough talk, they're here.

Pandra:
The Arc of Triumph, how nostalgic......

Garlot:
That's a lot of troops...... It's like he gathered everyone he could.
But... For some reason I'm not scared or surprised. Is this what it means to
become experienced?

Pandra:
Ah, if it isn't Gram Blaze......

Leon:
Pandra, you just don't learn, do you. You ready to run away with your tail
between your legs?

Pandra:
I've never 'run away'. What I've done is just a tactic called retreating.

Leon:
As always, you do nothing but split hairs......

Pandra:
Hm? Leon, what are you doing? Were you trying to gather intel on them for me or
something?

Leon:
Speak for yourself. There's no one in Gram Blaze who would fall for your
practical jokes.

Pandra:
Keh, don't tell me you're being all buddy buddy with them. Pathetic, have you
lost your fangs......

Garlot:
All troops prepare for battle! Attack the rebel army!!

/--Victory--------------

PANDRA DEFEATED

Pandra:
Tch! This is it, huh......

Garlot:
Aren't you gonna run, Pandra?

Pandra:
..We're different from the well trained army we were before, if I don't plunge
ahead we won't build up any momentum.
This time I didn't have a chance to prepare an escape route.

Garlot:
What, are you joking?

Rebel Soldier:
M- Mister Pandra......

Pandra:
My unit is done for...... What are you doing! Force your way in!!
Don't you want to change the country!? Show them your spirit!!
Heh, heheheh...... I'm a hero! I will go down in history!!

|------------------|

|-Time to Regroup.-|

Leon:
Do we go after them, Garlot?

Garlot:
No, let them go.
We beat Pandra. They won't be able to raise a rebellion like that again.

-----------------------------------------------------
Garlot:
That Pandra... He gave off a different impression from before.

Medoute:
Maybe because when he carried the flag, Pandra had firm intentions.

Leon:
This was the only time that bastard was serious. That's for sure.

Garlot:
If only we'd met him sooner, we could have ended up on different terms......

Velleman:
It seems they're finished.

Medoute:
Count Velleman. How did the operation go?

Velleman:
Everything went smoothly.

Nessiah:
Lady Beatrine was considerably exhausted and is resting at the inn.

Garlot:
Velleman, what will we be doing from now on?

Velleman:
We'll watch the Emperor's progress and if everything looks fine we'll return to
Tiera.
Of course, we ought to wait for Lady Beatrine to awaken first...

Jenon:
Did she wear herself out that much?

Velleman:
I don't know. According to Nessiah she suddenly collapsed after the surgery.

Nessiah:
It was as if the tension was cut and her body staggered with weakness.
I caught her right away, but... It seems that she was far more exhausted than I
first saw.
But I think that if she rests a little she should be alright.

Garlot:
Then we'll be staying in the capital until Beatrine wakes up...

Shiskia:
Velleman... So, we're fighting to change the world, right?

Velleman:
That's right. Why do you ask now?

Shiskia:
Pandra's army also fought to oppose the Imperial government.
But we fought to oppose them......

Velleman:
I understand your feelings.

Shiskia:
Do you really?

Jenon:
Shiskia, that's enough......

Velleman:
No, it's fine, Jenon.
Shiskia, it's foolish to just say that something is bad and then beat it down
with force.
One that stands only for power will lose himself to it and will soon be
defeated by power.
Let's believe that His Highness's problems stemmed from his illness.
And, once he recovers, build a fine country together.

Shiskia:
It's kinda strange. When you word things like that I don't want to complain.

Garlot:
Velleman, rather, Count Velleman. Could you forgive Shiskia.

Velleman:
Hm?

Garlot:
She just doesn't like nobles. That's why she says things like this.

Shiskia:
Don't bring that up! This has nothing to do with me hating nobles!!

Velleman:
You are quite blunt. As you know, I too am a noble......

Shiskia:
No, you may be a noble, but, ah, well......

Velleman:
I'm only joking.

Shiskia:
..I hate nobles.

lost his life, and Gram Blaze vanished from history's stage...

========================================================================[Map53]
暴かれし瞳の奥
Within the Revealing Eyes
Outskirts of the Capital - Plank Road East End

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map53.01]
With the magical operation's success at suppressing Brongaa's blood, the danger
to Emperor Soltier's life had been halted.

However, Beatrine was struck with terrible exhaustion, and finally awakened
three days later, though her memory of what happened just before the end of the
procedure was vague.

The Emperor awoke the next day, and, with his progress after the operation
being favorable, gave Gram Blaze permission to return.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map53.02]
Shiskia:
We stayed at the capital for way too long. I wonder if Amy will be mad......

Aegina:
And sister too. Do you think they're alright?

Shiskia;
Don't worry too much. Luciana likes to play pranks, right?
It'd be a miracle if those two haven't done some awful things with how long
they've had the run of the place.

Aegina:
You mean like that time they put nails through the storm shutter?

Shiskia:
Huh, that was Luciana and Amy's doing?
I was talking about that time they covered your socks with wax.

Aegina:
Huh? Sister and Amy were responsible for that?
That was awful! The sweat didn't dry and my feet got so musty!

Beatrine:
Everyone is so interesting.

Velleman:
Noisy would be a better term. I wish they would not get so carried away in
their conduct.

Beatrine:
Still, I wish to apologize. If I had not collapsed we would not have been held
up.

Jenon:
Oh, yes, Miss Beatrine, what sort of thing do you do in a magical operation?

Shiskia:
Hang on, Jenon! I told you to stop talking about that!

Jenon:
But I'm curious. I've read anatomical books before, you know.

Beatrine:
What I do is completely different from medicine. It's much more like a magical
ritual.

Jenon:
Really... That's very interesting. I should have went and watched.

Beatrine:
I cannot allow one with no magical knowledge to watch. It is too dangerous.
To tell you the truth I nearly lost my own mind to the power of the dragon
blood......

Jenon:
Brongaa's blood steals the mind of those in the ritual?

Beatrine:
The power of destruction, victimization, and aggression... That is the true
nature of the demon dragon's blood.
The blood desires destruction, victims, and aggression, and it makes other
wills act towards its desire.
If one's ego is weak it will soon be consumed and one will fall under the
dragon's control.

Shiskia:
So, could what you said about your memory from the ritual being fuzzy be
because of that?

Beatrine:
I do not think so. I believe it is simply due to exhaustion.

Garlot:
So then, can anyone with Brongaa's power get like the Emperor?

Beatrine:
The potency of Brongaa's power varies greatly from person to person.
And the more potent, the easier it is to fall under Brongaa's control... Though
if one's ego is strong, one can fight back.

Garlot:
I see.

Nessiah:
I too was very curious in the procedure.
I am honored to have been able to be a part, even as just an assistant.

Beatrine:
..By the way, Sir Nessiah.
After the operation, once I lost consciousness, was something done to the
Emperor?

Nessiah:
..I am not sure I understand.

Beatrine:
I had dreamed of such a thing for three nights on end.
Begging your pardon, but I must ask again. Once I lost consciousness, was
something done to the Emperor?

Nessiah:
What scandalous accusation...... Are you saying that I have done something?

Shiskia:
..Huh? What, what's going on?

Beatrine:
If you've no feelings of guilt you wouldn't mind me looking through your
memories, would you?

Nessiah:
.....This is an inconvenience. I've underestimated you.
I never expected to be suspected. Really, this is quite annoying......
I wish I had a little more time to prepare, but...

Garlot:
What are you talking about, Nessiah?

Nessiah:
So sorry, Captain. It's sooner than I planned, but I'm afraid we must part
here.

Jenon:
It's Nessiah's corpse army!

Garlot:
Wait, Nessiah! What is this, explain yourself!!

Nessiah:
Those on death's doorstep need no explanations.

Garlot:
What?

Medoute:
..You were always a shifty guy, but I didn't expect you'd betray us this
directly.

Nessiah:
Make no mistake. This is not betrayal. It is all according to the prediction I
have written.
Though I did not think you would wait until we were out here to reveal my
tricks.

Beatrine:
If I exposed you in the center of town you would use the citizens as a shield.

Nessiah:
I see...... You took it upon yourself to keep silent. You are quite the
tactician.
Still, it doesn't matter. You will all disappear here. Well then, everyone.

Nessiah:
Fufufu, very well. As a prize for surviving to this point I will tell you a
little.
The Emperor is more convenient to me than you are. For creating a maelstrom of
conflict, that is.
That is all. Now die!

Nessiah:
Captain, considering you solely as a warrior, you possess magnificent
capabilities...
That truly is your only value! You have no wants! No ambition! You do not fight
for yourself!!
That is why I've moved on to Emperor Soltier.
He can still spur the Empire to action. The day war and destruction spread over
the whole world is near!
Countless numbers will die! No one will be able to stop it... Fufufu...
Fufufu... Ahahahaha!!

|------------------------|
| LOSS OF LIFE |
|-One Mere Common Death.-|

-----------------------------------------------------
Garlot:
What the hell was that...
What in the world is the "maelstrom of conflict" about? And the "spurring the
Empire to action" too...

Medoute:
Miss Beatrine, do you have any knowledge as to why Nessiah is doing this?

Beatrine:
All I had was something akin to a vague premonition, there were no concrete
details.
All I saw in the dream was him standing next to the Emperor with an unnerving
smile.

Velleman:
We shall return to the capital and see if anything has changed.
I will request an audience with His Highness. He shouldn't mind so soon after
the success of the surgery.

Lapis:
Unfortunately, that will not be so simple.

Velleman:
Ah, Lady Lapis. Has something happened?

Lapis:
His Highness is no longer at the capital.

Velleman:
So soon... Where has he gone?

Lapis:
He's headed towards Fort Ishnad.

Medoute:
Ishnad...... Isn't that the fort city on the border of the Fantasinian Kingdom?
Why has the Emperor gone to the front line...?

Lapis:
Once every two years Emperor Soltier and the King hold a meeting at that fort.

Aegina:
With Fantasinia's King......

Lapis:
This meeting is a very formal affair.
With His Highness still recovering from illness he should not overexert himself
and go. I had pleaded with him to postpone the meeting......

Velleman:
And His Highness's response?

Lapis:
He rejected my suggestion, and... discharged me from his services.

Shiskia:
Discharged...... What? He fired you?

Lapis:
His Highness's orders are not to be disobeyed. I have left the castle.

Shiskia:
That was so stupid, and you're okay with this?

Lapis:
His Highness's orders are absolute. How many times must I tell you this, girl.

Shiskia:
But still, if you think there's something strange about it and you still follow
it you're not a good servant!

Lapis:
You say this every time, girl. Though this time your remark strikes deep......
It's a wonder you haven't been killed yet.

Velleman:
What are your plans from here on out, then?

Lapis:
Be as it may that I have been discharged, I am still worried about His
Highness. I plan to head for Ishnad.
But before that I thought to enquire with Lady Beatrine regarding to the change
in His Highness.

Garlot:
Velleman, Nessiah did mention creating a maelstrom of conflict...

Velleman:
Yes, and adding Lady Beatrine's premonition, it's reasonable to say that
Nessiah planned this.

Lapis:
What is this? What exactly are you talking about?

Velleman:
If I may speak frankly, there was one called Nessiah present during the
operation, and we suspect he may have drugged His Highness.

Lapis:
What insolence......! I will deliver the punishment for this disrespect right
now, to you included!!

Velleman:
Nessiah has already been dealt with. But I worry about His Highness heading to
Ishnad.

Lapis:
You're guilty of the same offence! Repent for it!!

Garlot:
This isn't the time for this!
The first priority should be to expose and undo Nessiah's plan!

Lapis:
Kh, I suppose you're right.

Jenon:
So, the Fantasinian Kingdom is the powerful country along our border......
If, say, His Highness were to kill the King during this meeting......

Leon:
Even I know what would happen. A war will break out, no doubt about it.

Shiskia:
No way, then the maelstrom of conflict Nessiah was talking about would be...!

Garlot:
Velleman, we'd better get to this Ishnad place right away.

Lapis:
I can't say I've fully absorbed the situation, but...... His Highness is being
controlled by this Nessiah character?

Beatrine:
There is a high chance of that. Although it can't be affirmed.

Lapis:
But Nessiah has been killed, right?

Beatrine:
We think he may have used a powerful technique on the Emperor.

Lapis:
This is all hard to believe at once. Yet, I must stop His Highness as well. I
will accompany you.

Velleman:
I see no problem with that. We are grateful.

Lapis:
I will say one thing. Don't think I believe you.
If I find a single flaw in your tale, I will kill you all.

Garlot:
That's fine.

Defeat - Garlot Defeated (2nd)-------------------------

In the battle with the estranged Nessiah's army of corpses, Gram Blaze's

その火蓋は切らせない
We Won't Let it Start
Near the Border - Canosa Highway

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map54.01]
Having said that he will create a maelstrom of conflict, Nessiah suddenly
turned against Gram Blaze.

And, right after recovering from the operation, the Emperor suddenly discharged
Lapis from her post......

Gram Blaze, feeling that something was wrong with Emperor Soltier, hurried
after him to Ishnad, where his meeting with the king of Fantasinia was to take
place.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map54.02]
Shiskia:
And that's why! If the king comes here you can't let him in!!

Baldus:
And why is it that I must follow your orders?
I have been ordered by His Highness to secure our defenses outside and guide
King Ordene.

Lapis:
Baldus. Can you not do this even by my request?

Baldus:
.....My apologies. I've been told not to listen to you if you were to arrive.

Lapis:
I see......

Jenon:
He's like a steel wall. Just as you'd expect from someone called the "Shield of
Bronquia."

Shiskia:
Ugh... We should have just charged until we broke through. We did beat him once
before.

Lapis:
This is different from that mock battle. There are many troops around the
fortress. A frontal assault is impossible.

Velleman:
While the situation may be grave, King Ordene is not inside Ishnad yet.
If the Imperial side won't listen, we'll appeal to the Royal side. We'll tell
them that Ishnad is dangerous.

Medoute:
I just hope that goes smoothly...

Garlot:
Medoute, how do the surroundings look?

Medoute:
It looks like there are many hidden units deployed.
Canosa Road is the shortest route when crossing between the Kingdom and the
Empire.

Garlot:
If he's headed to Fort Ishnad, the King will definitely pass by here.

Leon:
And these assassins are waiting just for that.

Velleman:
Our first task is to remove them.
Then we'll make contact with the King before he enters the fortress, and use
the assassins' presence to make our point.

Jenon:
So the plan is to somehow stop the King before he enters the fortress.

Shiskia:
Will that really work out?
I can't really explain it, but I'm getting a really bad feeling from that
fortress.
Shouldn't we place some people inside just in case?
Cause if we can't stop the King from going inside, there won't be anything we
can do after that.

Jenon:
That may be true, but it's too dangerous.

Leon:
I agree with Shiskia's plan. It's better to be prepared.

Jenon:
Alright, then this is what we'll do. My unit and Shiskia's will sneak into the
fortress.

Shiskia:
You, Jenon? As long as you don't get in the way...

Garlot:
Report if anything happens. And if you feel in danger, run. As long as you
promise me to do this, you can go.

Shiskia:
Okay, roger.

Garlot:
Then, we'll find and deal with the assassins.

/--Victory--------------

it?

we can stop him from going into the fortress.

-----------------------------------------------------
Ordene:
..............

Velleman:
King Ordene, please listen to what we have to say.

Ordene:
Who would you be?

Velleman:
I am a Count of Bronquia's provincial city, Tiera. I am called Velleman.
If I may, I will get straight to the point. There is a troubling atmosphere
inside Ishnad.
Would it not be possible for you to return to the Kingdom right away?

Ordene:
..I refuse.

Velleman:
You refuse?

Ordene:
That's right. From the perspective of the entire Empire, breaking my promise is
an act of disloyalty from my country.
I do not intend to be such a fool as to be manipulated by such of information.

Medoute:
But we have already beaten countless assassins lying in wait outside the
fortress.
From their placement and positions it is clear that you were their target, Your
Highness.

Ordene:
I understand what you wish to say. However, just that information is not enough
to make me turn back.
I do not know why it is that you protected me, but you have my thanks. I am in
your debt.

Aegina:
..So what now that you have listened to another without complaint?

Ordene:
Hm, you look like...

Aegina:
..............

Ordene:
No, never mind. The resemblance must be coincidental.
Now, I must continue on. If you could let me by.

Aegina:
You are nothing if not stubborn......

Ordene:
Still, it is useless to try and stop me further. I must hurry on ahead.

Medoute:
He's gone......

Aegina:
What a difficult man! That rotten King would never listen to persuasion!!

Garlot:
..............
There's nothing to do but bet on those two now......
We're counting on you, Jenon, Shiskia.

Gram Blaze killed the assassins secretly deployed on Canosa Road.

But King Ordene of Fantasinia, not knowing the truth about being targeted, said
that he would not break the trust between the countries. He rejected Gram
Blaze's plea and entered Fort Ishnad alone.

Garlot and the others, left on standby outside the fortress, entrusted the fate
to Shiskia and Jenon, who had snuck inside.

But will Shiskia and Jenon be able to rescue King Ordene?

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map55.02]
Soltier:
Welcome, King Ordene. I am especially glad that you could make it with the
workload you are currently under.

Ordene:
Pardon my tardiness. But, isn't that an unnecessarily excessive amount of
troops for a simple meeting? Emperor Soltier.

Soltier:
This is the way we Bronquians express our utmost courtesy for the meeting, King
Ordene.
Accept our welcome...... Begin.

Imperial Soldier:
Yes sir!

Ordene:
..What is the meaning of this?

Soltier:
Obviously, I am removing Your Highness's side, of course.
To be honest, I arranged for you to be taken care of on the Canosa Highway, but
that fell through.
Likely due to Velleman's meddling.

Ordene:
Velleman. That Count. Then, he was telling the truth.
This will turn into war......

Soltier:
Yes, That's the plan.

Ordene:
I too have heard much of the lackluster state of the political affairs in the
Empire.
That is why I had come here to lend a hand.
Are you trying to use a war to unite your people and lift up your country?

Soltier:
Whether you die here or not, the Kingdom will become extremely tense.
You're wrong. What I want is that blade. The Holy Sword, Gran Centurio......

Ordene:
..My sword? You, the head of your country, are starting a war over the want of
a mere sword!?

Soltier:
That's right... What about it?

Ordene:
You are insane...... I see that continuing this discussion is pointless.
In that case, all I can do is go back the way I came. But, can I really get out
of this place...!?

Soltier:
Do it.

There'll be nothing but grief for everyone if a war were to start. We'll stop
it at all costs!
That's why we're here to save you.

Ordene:
..............

Soltier:
Gram Blaze. I knew you'd come.
Still, sneaking into the fortress goes beyond what I expected.
Not that it matters, You won't make it out of here.
Shut all the gates to Ishnad! Do not let them escape!!

Shiskia:
Jenon, send a messenger out to Garlot!
Though honestly, I don't know if they can break in here to help us.

Jenon:
We should try and get past the main gate now that we've got His Royal Highness!

Shiskia:
Your Highness, over here! The main gate is straight to the east.

Jenon:
Maybe you should be a bit more careful in what you say. You're talking to the
King, you know......

Shiskia:
This isn't the time for that!

Jenon:
I got it...... Then, I'll leave it to you to lead the King out.

Shiskia:
Okay. But what are you gonna do, Jenon?

Jenon:
Don't worry about it, just hurry.

Shiskia:
..You always make up plans and don't explain them. Confide in me for once.

Ordene:
Are you in the employ of that man I met outside, Velleman?

Shiskia:
Yeah, I'm Shiskia. And this snobby guy is Jenon.

Jenon:
Don't say that.

Ordene:
I regret I did not take Velleman's advice outside. I am grateful to you two.

Shiskia:
Then, Your Highness, once we're safe, I want 10 silk scarves as thanks. The
ones that have the nice texture to them.

Ordene:
You certainly are not the most polite lass.

Shiskia:
My apologies, Your Highness. I do not speak in a way other than that very much.
But, please. We do not want a war. If we make it out of here......
Think of us and don't seek retribution on Bronquia.

Ordene:
But with the way Emperor Soltier is, that may be impossible.

Jenon:
The Emperor is like this right now only because he fell under the control of a
certain magician. We will break him of it!

Shiskia:
So, please, Your Highness.

Ordene:
.....I see.
If you are telling the truth, I will give you my word that I will not take
action against Bronquia.

Shiskia:
Thank you so much, Your Highness.

Jenon:
..It won't be much longer until they catch up to us.

Jenon:
No, nothing. I'll tell you when you get back......

Shiskia:
What, you're acting all self-important again. Stupid!

Jenon:
..Alright then, ladies and gentlemen. I bet you think that someone with such
detailed attention to style cannot possibly fight well, right?
But you need not worry. Even like this, I am the second most capable member of
Gram Blaze.
Let us get started.

Imperial Soldier:
Master Baldus! We caught this character acting strangely coming out of the
castle......

Baldus:
Hm?

Messenger:
Master Garlot!! The King is trying to get out with Lady Shiskia!!
They are heading for this gate! Master Jenon is fine as well!!

Baldus:
She is with Gram Blaze! Quickly, silence her!!

Messenger:
Mmph......

Garlot:
This gate is closed. There is only one way to rescue them...
Okay, we're going through Baldus!
Lapis, get ready!

Baldus:
Gram Blaze is saying that they will force their way through the gate. In that
case you will face us first!
I, Baldus, will wager my life to stop you!!

Baldus:
Lady Lapis...... What exactly has happened?

Lapis:
That's what I would like to learn myself! But it is certain that this situation
is heading towards an awful end.
At this rate we could end up in a war with the Kingdom. So, before that
happens......

Baldus:
..............
..Open the gates.

Lapis:
Baldus, you're...

Baldus:
..Lady Lapis. I have pledged myself to His Highness as a military man and as a
knight.
Still, loyalty does not mean that I will follow anything and everything my Lord
says.
I prefer if one can say something if they feel that something just, and when
something is wrong...
And I feel that is true of you as well, Lady Lapis.

Jenon:
Urk!!
..Huh, that's strange. That wasn't the strategy...

Imperial Soldier:
Die!

Jenon:
Ugh ......
Sh- Shiskia, live on. And remember... that there was a man like myself by your
side...
Garlot! Protect Shiskia! If she's ever unhappy...... I will never forgive you!!

Shiskia:
That was Jenon's voice......

Imperial Soldier:
How can you still talk! You... Drop dead already!!

Jenon:
Uwaaaaaaa......

Shiskia:
J- Jenon!!

Garlot:
That idiot...... He's gotta act cool every time!

Imperial Soldier:
Don't let Ordene escape!

Garlot:
Damn they're persistent!
Velleman! Evacuate the King!!

Velleman:
What will you do?

Garlot:
We've gotta confirm whether or not the Emperor is really being controlled by
Nessiah, right?
And...... Jenon has to be alive still. I am going to save him!

Velleman:
Alright. Leave the King to me, Garlot.

Garlot:
I'm counting on you......

Garlot:

Garlot:
As if he would die. I'm sure right now he's having a good laugh, all self
absorbed.

AFTERWARDS

Shiskia:
If he's not here he must have gotten away. Agh, why are you making me worry
like this.

-----------------------------------------------------
Gatekeeper:
Ngh......

Garlot:
Hey you, where's Soltier? Tell me!

Gatekeeper:
H- His Highness... should be in the innermost quarters of the fortress.

Soltier:
Gram Blaze! How dare you keep getting in my way!!

Shiskia:
Soltier!

Garlot:
Are you really Soltier? Or are you being controlled by a magician called
Nessiah?

Soltier:
Who's that? Since my illness was cured my body's been feeling exceptionally
well.
Like this I can make my dream of conquering the Kingdom, no, the whole world a
reality. Hmhmhmhmhm......

Lapis:
Your Highness! Please come to your senses!!

Soltier:
Who are you? Hm, Lapis? Ngh I... I told you to go...

Lapis:
If conquering the world is really Your Highness's wish, I will follow you on
that path!
But right now I do not think you are acting on your own will......

Soltier:
L- Lapis... is that you? Ngh... H- help me......

Garlot:
Lapis! Looks like the Emperor still has some of his own self left!!

Soltier:
Hm? Self? What are you saying? I am Soltier. I will kill you!!

Beatrine:
I have an idea. Please stop His Highness from moving.

Garlot:
Got it. We'll do our best.

/--Victory--------------

Soltier:
U... ugh...!?

| |
| | VICTORY AS REPARATION
| /\ | Soltier cannot fight due to an injury!!

Garlot:
We managed to stop his movements!

Shiskia:
Miss Beatrine!

-----------------------------------------------------
Beatrine:
Please make His Highness take this pill.
If Nessiah is controlling him, this should neutralize that magic.

Lapis:
It will not harm His Highness?

Beatrine:
Please put your mind at ease. He will be alright.

Lapis:
I will give it to him.

Soltier:
Ugh......

Lapis:
Your Highness!

Medoute:
Now if he can regain himself...

Soltier:
Huh? Lapis......? Where am I?

Nessiah:
Fufufu, What a nuisance, breaking my spell without permission.

Shiskia:
Nessiah!?

Garlot:
No way... How could he be alive? We killed him for sure!

Nessiah:
You only cause yourself more troubles by putting me on the same scale as a
human. Fufufufufu...

Soltier:
U- ugh...... Nessiah, what should I do?

Lapis:
Your Highness......

Nessiah:
Fufufu... And now His Highness is once again my doll.
This technique of mine gets stronger the more desires and wants the target has.
He is an easy tool.

Soltier:
Uuuugh...

Nessiah:
Now, Your Highness. Kill Ordene and take the Holy Sword, Gran Centurio.
And, through a blood covered conflict with the Kingdom, fill the Holy Sword
with Power!
Then I will have my revenge!

Soltier:
..I see. That's what you wanted.

Nessiah:
..What's this?

Soltier:
Damn it, I hurt all over. Garlot, tch, are you guys responsible for these
wounds?

Nessiah:
I- it can't be... How could he have regained his self and senses?

Soltier:
Hmph... Being controlled by you made me sick. That is, until I sent you off.

Lapis:
Your Highness... How wonderful......

Nessiah:
You are a meddlesome group of humans... Still, it's no trouble. Fufufu...
We will have a chance for a rematch... I will die once more.

|------------------------|
| LOSS OF LIFE |
|-One Mere Common Death.-|
|------------------------|

Aegina:
.....Is it over?

Velleman:
I do not think so...... He was killed last time as well.

Medoute:
A man who does not die when killed... Last time it would have been impossible
to know.

Garlot:
..Is Nessiah immortal?

Velleman:
We don't know anything about the extent of the strength that Nessiah possesses.
Just that he said a few worrying things.
About the Gran Centurio... A blood spattered conflict... and revenge...

Garlot:
Nessiah wants fighting. He said so earlier.

Velleman:
It's likely that the Holy Sword grows more powerful through the death of people
in conflicts.
And he is trying to do something with the power the sword has gathered.
But back on topic. Is Nessiah really immortal?
Or possibly... Did he gain a power somewhere that can be mistaken for
immortality?

Aegina:
Wait a minute, are you saying he uses the power the Holy Sword has gathered to
revive himself?

Velleman:
This is only an assumption.

Garlot:
But if it's true, then as long as the Holy Sword exists we can't beat Nessiah,
right?

Ordene:
I apologize for interrupting, but the Holy Sword, Gran Centurio, that you speak
of is my sword.

Garlot:
That huge thing?

Ordene:
I agree with you that we can't just stand by and watch as war breaks out.
..If what you say is true then this sword should be forever sealed.
But the Gran Centurio is a symbol that's been passed down in the Kingdom for
generations.
To seal it so simply...

Soltier:
That's a matter of terms.
How about this then. I will take the responsibility for the damages caused by
this conflict and resign from my position as Emperor.

Baldus:
Your Highness!?

Lapis:
Y- you can't be serious!?

Soltier:
While I was being controlled I tried to take King Ordene's life.
If that can be overlooked with just this, I don't mind.

Lapis:
But... What will happen to the Bronquian Empire? You have no heir either...

Soltier:
There is one right here with excellent talent at managing political affairs.
Isn't that right, Velleman?

Velleman:
.....Huh?
M- me?

Soltier:
We'll say you're a distant nephew. And I will handle all who dissent.
And you can take the role of Prime Minister.
How is that, King Ordene?

Ordene:
.....Very well. I shall send a messenger to Paltina right away.
We do not know when that man will revive once more, so we should move with the
utmost haste.

Lapis:
Your Highness... Is this really alright?

Soltier:
I've always felt like I was stumbling around in the dark concerning my duty for
the Imperial Throne.
I did not control politics. Most likely it was the dragon blood that did that.
Instead the previous Emperors and I were given great wit for domination and
military strength.
That's why the Empire was strong.
But maybe it's about time humanity was freed from this curse.

|
| Aegina:
| That's true...... I have no time for doubts...

While trying to make their way into Fort Ishnad, Gram Blaze was scattered due
to a flaw in tactics, and was forced to disband...

Defeat - Shiskia Defeated (3rd)------------------------

In the fierce fight with Emperor Soltier in the heart of the fortress, Shiskia
lost her life. The private army, having lost their eyes and ears, became
lackluster and collapsed...

========================================================================[Map56]
死の舞踏
Dance of Death
Near the Border - Ragnar Hill

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map56.01]
The battle of Fort Ishnad came to a close with Emperor Soltier being freed from
Nessiah's control.

But a great price was paid in exchange.

Jenon, under attack by the enemy, fell into the waterway, and all contact with
him was lost.

With the help of the Imperial Army, Gram Blaze searched frantically, but even
after a week there was no sign of him.

Shiskia worried that he may have sacrificed himself for her, and felt that she
was the most responsible for what happened.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map56.02]
Shiskia:
..............

Garlot:
You okay, Shiskia?

Shiskia:
I wish I could say I am, but...

Garlot:
Let's not give up hope. He could still be alive.

Shiskia:
Yeah......

Garlot:
..............

Shiskia:
If I think about it, I've said nothing but mean things to him.

Garlot:
It's not only Jenon you've said mean things to. You've said things like that to
me too.

Shiskia:
What, but you're... you're......
.....I want to apologize to him... That's why...... I want him to be
alive......

Garlot:
Shiskia...

Shiskia:
..Sorry, I'm acting strange, aren't I. I can't seem to stop crying...

Garlot:
Whenever you say something mean, I don't take it as you saying it to be cruel.
I'm sure he thinks the same. We're all friends, after all.

Shiskia:
Friends...... Yeah, you're right.

Garlot:
Still, he sure is late.

Shiskia:
Huh?

Garlot:
You know he always shows up late. And afterwards he says that he planned it all
along.

Shiskia:
..............

Garlot:
When in reality he's just plain late, or he's running frantically to catch up.
So he'll show up soon. But you can't let him trick you, Shiskia.

Shiskia:
.....Ahaha, that's right. You got it Garlot.

Garlot:
Yeah. So that's settled.

Shiskia:
I'm gonna keep looking around here a little longer.

Garlot:
Then I'm gonna search somewhere else.

Shiskia:
..............
Come back, Jenon.
It's just too sad to have the last thing I said to you be calling you stupid.
I got it, this is all part of your plan, isn't it?
Cut it out already, stop hiding, stupid!

???:
You're calling me stupid again, you really are mean, Shiskia.

Shiskia:
I'm mean? The person who just decided not to show up is who's mean!
Huh?

Jenon:
If you guys had just shown up a bit sooner to help me this wouldn't have gotten
dragged out this far.

Shiskia:
Jenon?

Jenon:
Yes, that is my name.

Shiskia:
Wait, wait, hang on. I must be imagining this.

Jenon:
Imagining? Yeah, maybe. You look like you could use some more food and sleep.
The most important thing is, if you focus too much on your figure, you'll eat
too little.
In that case, all you have to do is not stick your stomach out so much......

Shiskia:
..............

Jenon:
Hey.

Shiskia:
Jenon!!

Garlot:
Jenon, you're......

Jenon:
Sorry for worrying you, Garlot.

Garlot:
What have you been doing til now? Why didn't you hurry up......

Jenon:
It would have been stupid to have been found by the enemy because I was
struggling against the current. So I ended up being carried out to the ocean.
And, after I washed ashore in Duke Barin's domain, I started gathering
information.
So, is it true that the Emperor is abdicating?

Garlot:
It's true. They haven't made it official yet, but Velleman will take over as
Prime Minister.

Jenon:
I see. That's good news.
By the way, Shiskia, have you told everyone yet? About me being fine.

Shiskia:
Not yet, you did just get here. I'll go call everyone......

Garlot:
Yeah, thanks.
I'm glad you're alright. You sure worried us.

Jenon:
I was worried too, strangely enough. I got very lucky.
Though, I still hurt here and there... Ouch......

Garlot:
Hey, you okay, Jenon...

Jenon:
I'm fine. My head is just... ow...

Garlot:
Come here a sec. Let me take a look.
Where does it hurt...?

Shiskia:

What is going now? I don't understand this.

Nessiah:
.....You still haven't realized. You humans are quite slow.
Or perhaps your worthless emotions of friendship and camaraderie have hindered
your judgment?
In that case, this strategy has greater worth in its application.

Garlot:
Nessiah!!

Medoute:
You really have revived!
Then, Jenon is......

Shiskia:
N- no way...

Nessiah:
Have you finally noticed? He is already dead. That is a corpse.
He is now nothing more than a dead soldier of mine, who could not even lift a
finger without my will.

Aegina:
No... How horrible......

Nessiah:
I would have preferred to kill you before you realized that your companion was
dead...
Fufufu... But the strength of the captain's intuition spoiled it all.

Jenon:
..............

Nessiah:
Once I have dealt with you, smashing your worthless fantasy of sealing the Holy
Sword will be simple.
I will not let my ambition end this way...
Go my corpse army! Trample Gram Blaze!

??

Jenon:
I'm sure I've already died. I can't feel my heart beating.
I'm not really in pain. And it takes all have to just talk or blink or move my
fingers.

Beatrine:
I can feel almost no life force from Sir Jenon now.

Jenon:
At any moment I could go back to being Nessiah's puppet and have to kill you
with my own hands.

Shiskia:
..No.

Jenon:
..Hey, Garlot. As a friend, could you fulfill my last request.

Garlot:
Anything. Just ask.

Jenon:
Let me rest...... That's all I want.

Medoute:
..Do you want me to get this?

Garlot:
No, I'll do it. It's Jenon's final wish.

Shiskia:
Hey! What are you talking about? Tell me!

Medoute:
You're not a child, you understand what's happening.

Shiskia:
No I don't! How am I supposed to understand that we have to end Jenon's
life......

Jenon:
Aside from that, could you give me and Shiskia a minute alone?

Medoute:
But......

Jenon:
I should be okay for a little bit. I'm confident about that.

Garlot:
C'mon, Medoute.

Shiskia:
Your hands are cold, Jenon......

Jenon:
Yeah, like I said... I'm already dead.

Shiskia:
Don't say anymore......

Jenon:
Shiskia. There was something I wanted to ask you about last time.

Shiskia:
Yeah......

Jenon:
Though, the reason I'm saying it at a time like this is because I'm a coward
and didn't really want to say it.
Shiskia...... I...

Shiskia:
..............

Jenon:
No, not like this.
Shiskia, do you like Garlot?

Shiskia:
Huh...? ......Yeah, I do.

Jenon:
And I don't mean as just a friend.

Shiskia:
.....Yeah, I understand.

Jenon:
I knew it. I'm a very observant guy.
But I was unsure, so I wanted to hear it.

Shiskia:
Really, that's what you wanted to talk about?

Jenon:
Yep, that's it.

Shiskia:
I see.

Jenon:
Ngh......

Shiskia:
Jenon! What's wrong!!

Jenon:
It's almost time for me to go.
Shiskia, live to your fullest for my sake too in the new world that Gram Blaze
makes.
Live this world where Garlot and everybody is. And where you are.

Shiskia:
But... You won't be there, Jenon.

Jenon:
.....I fought all I wanted and left my mark on the world.
And I made friends who remember that.
That's something to be grateful for.
I met you and Garlot. I'm grateful for that.

Shiskia:
Jenon...

Jenon:
I'm glad. I really am. I'm glad from the bottom of my heart.

Shiskia:
Jenon?

?
I'm glad......

Medoute:
Goodbye, Jenon...... I'll miss your lighthearted banter.

Aegina:
Goodbye, Sir Jenon. Rest easy.

Garlot:
Goodbye, Jenon. My best friend.

Leon:
You moron, what's the use in dying......

Shiskia:
.....Goodbye, Jenon.

Medoute:
Shiskia, what did Jenon tell you?

Shiskia:
He said he was glad.

Garlot:
I see. Glad, huh.
Then, there is nothing else to be said. That's all we could hope for.

Shiskia:
..Yeah, you're right.

Garlot:
When I die I want to feel the same.

| /\ | Shiskia has fallen!
|/ \|

In the midst of an unwanted battle with Jenon, who was under Nessiah's control,
Shiskia lost her life. The private army, having lost their eyes and ears,
became lackluster and collapsed...

========================================================================[Map57]
人が勝ち得たもの
That which We have Won
Cape Lala - Altar of Sealing

--------------------Intro-------------------- [Map57.01]
Gran Centurio, the Holy Sword, was also the source of Nessiah's power.

If this sword was sealed, Nessiah's ambitions would be crushed.

That ceremony was to be performed at the shrine honoring a Sea God of the
Kingdom.

Nessiah was certain to come interfere.

Inside the protection of the Kingdom and the Empire, the day of the ritual drew
closer.

Gram Blaze's battle wasn't over yet.

----------------Before Battle---------------- [Map57.02]
Royal Soldier:
Your Highness! The Holy Sword has been placed on the pedestal.

Ordene:
Then let us start the ritual......

Royal Soldier:
Still, we have mixed feelings about this... The Holy Sword is a symbol of our
country. When it comes to sealing it...

Ordene:
Is the country made by the sword? No. The country is made by the people.
The Empire is parting with the blood of Brongaa.
And we shall part with Gran Centurio!

Royal Soldier:
Yes sir!!

Medoute:
..The day of the ritual has come.

Garlot:
Yeah. We've lost a lot as well.

Medoute:
Hey, Garlot. Would you like to hear my secret?

Garlot:
Huh, what do you mean......

Medoute:
I'm a descendant of Gill, the Dragon Slayer. Although, only of the branch
family.

Garlot:
Gill... I've heard of him. He was that hero who defeated Brongaa.

Medoute:
But, I doubted that that blood had any sort of meaning.
That's why I left and started on this journey. I wanted to know the meaning of
my blood... I wanted to deny it.
I've met and battled various people.

Garlot:
..Did you find the answer?

Medoute:
Yeah, I found it. Blood is just a kind of excuse.

Garlot:
Excuse?

Medoute:
In the end, whether you fight or not you decide for yourself.

Garlot:
Because if for some reason you don't want to fight, you can run away.

Medoute:
But people fight thoughtlessly as well. As long as they can justify it to
themselves.
Blood, ideology, religion. They're all reasons to justify that.
Just a kind of label. If they didn't have it, they'd be too scared to fight.
Or rather, perhaps they invent these labels so they can start a fight.

Garlot:
Then, are you saying we shouldn't fight?

Medoute:
No, I'm saying that using blood as a reason to fight is bad.

Shiskia:
I'm gonna fight for Jenon.
Of course, I don't mean I'm using Jenon's death as a reason to fight.
I've decided I'm gonna fight to make the world Jenon dreamed of a reality.

Medoute:
It's what you plan to accomplish after the fighting ends that you need to know.
If you haven't thought of that, you shouldn't be fighting.

Garlot:
A reason to fight is not something others can choose for you.

Medoute:
Yes. That's what I wanted to say......

Velleman:
Garlot. The ritual is about to begin.

Aegina:
And in such numbers too. Even with the support of the Royal and Imperial forces
we will not have enough manpower!

Velleman:
Garlot! We must defend the altar to the last man.

Garlot:
Leave it to us, Count Velleman! We won't let Nessiah get the Holy Sword!!

/--Victory--------------

Nessiah:
A gathering of weak humans should not be able to match one born in Asgard such
as I......
You humans are a stepping stone to my revenge! You should be dancing
gracelessly within my hands!

Garlot:
We're not your puppets! Even dead, Jenon broke your technique with his will.
Do you still not get it, Nessiah?

Nessiah:
That was a mere coincidence! It changes nothing!!
I'll show you the difference between a human and an angel!

------------------Mid Battle----------------- [Map57.03]
Nessiah:
Kh... The humans......
Defeating me... Your absurdity can only go so far!

| | KEEP THE FORCE INTACT
| /\ | Doing well against Nessiah!!
|/ \|

Garlot:
Nessiah's forces are returning...... Is he using the Gran Centurio again!

Nessiah:
Fufufu... What lies within the blade of that sword is the will for conquest
born from conflict between people!
Do you understand! Your fight to stop me is what gives me power!
If people abandon their desires they might be able to stop me... But people
cannot do that.
Curse your folly for sustaining what you try to stop!
And forever sink into a bottomless bog of regret!!

Garlot:
Let's break the Holy Sword! If we can do that, Nessiah's power should disperse.

/--Victory--------------
/ Break the Holy Sword and scatter Nessiah's power!!
/----------------

----------------------Defeat--/

Beatrine:
The ritual to seal the Gran Centurio still needs ample time to be complete.
If the sword is broken, that power too should disperse.
However, the sword cannot be broken by ordinary strength.

Garlot:
The Holy Sword is on the altar!

PUT MEDOUTE ON ALTAR TILE

Nessiah:
Oh? Medoute. The descendant of the hero Gill.
Did you know? I was the one who trained Gill to be a hero.
The demon dragon Brongaa was in my way. So to take care of it, I offered my
help.
So, you could say, you're from a long line of my dolls.

Medoute:
..............
And, so?
That has nothing to do with anything.
Listen well, fallen angel! I intend to stand against you. Blood is irrelevant!

Garlot:

Medoute:

Nessiah:
H- how! How could a mere human break the Holy Sword?
Why would a human without a reason to fight, without the power to fight,
without anything......

Garlot:
Think about it, Nessiah... While you've been looking away from the world, we've
been advancing!
We've found our own reasons and power to fight.
And believing in our friends, we've found a way to gain power unconditionally!

Nessiah:
I- impossible... impossible!!

Garlot:

Velleman:
Uuuu...

Garlot:
Why don't you just calm down a little like I said?

Velleman:
You don't have to tell me!

Garlot:
Are you really well enough to go through with your debut as prime minister?
Make up your mind quick.

Velleman:
I don't think I've ever felt this nervous in my life.

Garlot:
..Sigh, you look like you're getting ill.

Shiskia:
Your movements are all stiff! Ah, you're moving your right arm and leg
together.

Velleman:
Stop mocking me.

Soltier:
Yo, I've come to see the show.

Velleman:
Your Highness!

Soltier:
How many times must I tell you not to call me that? I'm not the Emperor
anymore.

Velleman:
Yes, you're right, Your Highness.

Shiskia:
Pft...

Soltier:
I can already tell it'll be an uphill struggle with the Prime Minister, General
Garlot.

Garlot:
..Yeah, I agree.

Shiskia:
Hey, you should side with your employer more.

Velleman:
Will you two focus on that's happening...

Garlot:
It's just a joke. Er, wait. I was merely joking, Sir.

Aegina:
Huh?

Garlot:
What? I thought I should speak more formally starting today.
There is no one but you who can lead this country, Sir.
So, since I'm gonna... Er, I will be here for you, you have nothing to worry
about. Just focus on setting up a strong foundation... please?

Leon:
You suck at formal speech.

Velleman:
Yes, I feel quite nauseated by it as well.

Garlot:
What'd you say... ah, Sir!

Leon:
Ahahahahahahahahaha!

Garlot:
Damn, this is irritating.

Luciana:
By the way, how do you think Miss Medoute is doing?

Shiskia:
Yeah, what country is she at now?

Garlot:
If she was still nearby she'd split her sides laughing at our tense Prime
Minister.

Velleman:
General Garlot. My tension is gone. Now, on to the inaugural speech!

Garlot:
As you wish, Prime Minister.

-----------------------------------------------------
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Velleman, the Bronquian Empire signed a
non-aggression treaty with the Kingdom of Fantasinia, and took a new step
forward.

Garlot, having led Velleman's private army, Gram Blaze, and fighting countless
battles all over the Empire, became its young general, and put his efforts into
its continued stability.

And I have moved on from the Empire, and my companions.

I would be lying if I said that I had no regrets.

However, my life is one of a long journey. I will meet them again someday.

And when I do they will greet me with the same smiles and excitement.

That is what I gained in the Empire. The value of a thing raised with trust,
and a grain of hope.

---------------------Vs.--------------------- [Map57.05]
--Garlot vs. Nessiah
| Nessiah:
| The notion that you could destroy the Holy Sword is utter idiocy.
|
| Garlot:
| I can tell you're flustered, Nessiah. I can tell from how you're acting.
| Without the Holy Sword you won't be able to reincarnate.
|
| Nessiah:
| Really, is that so......
|
|---VICTORY
| Garlot:
| We'll build our own future!
|
| Nessiah:
| That's quite the confidence for just a single victory......
|
|---DEFEAT
| Nessiah:
| Gran Centurio is the masterpiece I created in order to get revenge on the
| heavens.
| You worthless humans could never seal it!
|
| Garlot:
| Then why did you come here? You're afraid of our power...... Isn't that
| right, Nessiah!

--Shiskia vs. Nessiah----------------------------------
| Shiskia:
| Watch us, Jenon...... We'll protect this world!
|
| Nessiah:
| What insolent words...... This world is nothing but a convenient stage for my
| plans!
|
|---VICTORY
| Shiskia:
| Jenon told me...... To live this world.
| He loved this world. He loved his companions, his friends.
| And me too......
| That's why... I won't let you do whatever you want with it!
| This isn't about revenge, I'm fighting to protect something that can't be
| replaced!
|
|---DEFEAT
| Nessiah:
| Humans are my pawns! And as such they should dance upon my stage!!
|
| Shiskia:
| Jenon was not a pawn! He did his best to fight against the position you
| selfishly put him in......
| So I'll fight too! To the last drop of blood! Fate or no, I'll fight back!!
-----

--Medoute vs. Nessiah----------------------------------
| Medoute:
| I've always felt guilty about fighting before......
| Because of my lineage. Not knowing if the extraordinary valor I have is
| because of my blood.
| But not anymore! If it means going against you, I will use this power without
| mercy!
|
|---VICTORY
| Nessiah:
| You're just as monstrously strong as always.
|
|---DEFEAT
| Nessiah:
| This is the power of one from the heavens. Do you understand now?
|
| Medoute:
| That's soft, Nessiah......
| Do you think that's all it takes to scare us? You've misjudged humans!!
-----

--Aegina vs. Nessiah-----------------------------------
| Aegina:
| For the sake of Sir Jenon! And for the sake of the new world!!
| Not for revenge, but for a better future! That is why I wield this sword!!
|
| Nessiah:
| Silence! You have cheated death long enough!
|
|---VICTORY
| Aegina:
| For Sir Jenon's sake as well, we must not lose!
|
| Nessiah:
| It was a mistake to let you become this strong of a swordsman.
|
|---DEFEAT
| Nessiah:
| Aegina, don't you think that you should be the one to have the Holy Sword?
|
| Aegina:
| Your words will not move me.
| My goal in life is no longer revenge!
-----

--Leon vs. Nessiah-------------------------------------
| Leon:
| So, you moron came to be killed.
|
| Nessiah:
| Fufufu...... Humans are like this every time. You do not realize how stunted
| your existence is......
|
|---VICTORY
| Leon:
| Well, how does the force of human anger feel!?
|
| Nessiah:
| Fufufu, this level of strength is insignificant......
|
|---DEFEAT
| Leon:
| Whoops, I messed up......
|
| Nessiah:
| Perhaps you've gotten weaker since you joined Gram Blaze?
-----

--Beatrine vs. Nessiah---------------------------------
| Beatrine:
| You can feel it too, the shift in the current. The end has come.
|
| Nessiah:
| Shift in the current? I know nothing of which you speak.
|
|---VICTORY
| Beatrine:
| You are flustered.
|
| Nessiah:
| Flustered? Me? Fufufu, I do not feel such emotions.
|
| Beatrine:
| It is useless to hide it.
