Chapter 7 Episode 1/2-7 - Storyline

Sacred Spring

Lisbeth	Wow...! A difficult road to walk...! Isn't there another route?
Tina	I'm sorry, but this is the only place. Please be patient.
Dias	Tina... How were you guys able to rush to my aid?
Tina	I "saw" that by the power of my foresight. You would be swallowed up by a swarm of Jams... And in the future, that swarm of Jams will try to swallow up the nearby village.
Dias	You "saw" it...?
Tina	I can "see" when many lives are lost. It's like my alchemical characteristics. The accuracy is higher than before, which is why I was able to help.
Lisbeth	Originally, I was with Tina to welcome Mr. Dias. I was surprised when Tina suddenly started running!
Dias	I see... Thank you. Why are you talking about Excalibur...?
Tina	I was told this too, and very recently. Long ago, there was a time when one of the Alize tribe protected the Sacred Stone "Beelzebub" as the leader of the Holy Guard. The former Lord Commander Basheeny knew this fact and made a request to Voda, the great Water Sprite. "I want you to hide the holy sword Excalibur in the land of Saga"...
Dias	...!?
Tina	At that time, Saga could not be called a monolith, and when it came to light that he was secretly protecting "Beelzebub"... This is because one of the Four Great Sprites, the Great Wind Sprite Alia of the Alize tribe, was responsible for this and was purged.
Dias	Then why did the Great Water Sprite decide to take on this task?
Tina	It is...
In the past...

Tina	Why did Lady Voda accept this request...? Did Lords Foo and Tehre know about that...?
Voda	I don't know. I'm the only one who's been carrying this all along.
Tina	Why...?
Voda	I was avoiding interaction with others. This was the perfect situation to keep it a secret. In addition... I couldn't accept Alia's death because I couldn't let Foo and Tehre carry the burden.
Tina	But... Lady Voda...
Voda	Ah... I couldn't take it all in. But maybe that's why. The regret of letting Alia just die pushed me back... There was no way it would be atonement.
Tina	...!
Voda	I can't afford to burden the Alize tribe with even more of a burden than this... That's why I've taken on the responsibility, in the unlikely event that it comes to light... If I follow the same path as Alia, I feel like I'll finally be able to find the words to say to Alia in the afterlife.
Tina	That's it...! Such a thing...!
Voda	Don't worry. I don't have any intention of dying now... That's why I'm talking to you like this, because I think now is the time to talk.
Tina	When should we talk?
Voda	A messenger will appear in front of you. Become that person's strength. That's... It may lead to saving your friends and even the world.
Tina	...!
The present...

Dias	That messenger is...
Anym	Yes, it's me.
Tina	After Lady Voda told me about this, Anym appeared in front of me... and that's when she heard your story. I told Lisbeth, and she said there was no problem in telling someone I trusted.
Lisbeth	I thought if I could help Mr. Dias, I would be happy to cooperate! How have you been since then?
Dias	That's right... A lot happened. Thanks to that, I was also able to meet Tina. You guys have become a lot stronger too...
Tina	Of course. I have a mission to protect Saga.
Lisbeth	I've also learned a lot from Voda, the great Water Sprite, so I've become good enough to even defeat the Jam.
Tina	Although she can't use Ouija like us, she seems to have applied its roots to Lisbeth's technique.
Dias	I see, you're doing your best, too.
Lisbeth	Mr. Dias?
Dias	No, it's still as dazzling as ever when I look at you. It makes me feel like an idiot for being so lost.
Lisbeth	Were you wondering about something?
Dias	A little bit. But that was all well and good... and now there are people among the Holy Guard who can be called comrades...
In the past...
Vermio	...
The present...
Dias	I feel like it's almost done.
Tina	Does that mean you're no longer alone?
Dias	I can't say for sure, but... I feel like if he knew my beliefs, he would understand.
Lisbeth	I see... That's great, Mr. Dias!
Dias	Yeah... So, what kind of place are we going to now? I'm sure... "Lady Asena's Fountain" or something.
Tina	The place where Saga's Godwolf, Lady Asena, once lived... Even within Saga, it is only open to a limited number of people.
Dias	There is such a place in Saga...
Tina	We were given a "trial" there, and I don't know what's going on now.
Dias	"Trial"... I'm sure you said that too.
Anym	You'll understand when you go.
Tina	Now, it's almost "Lady Asena's Fountain." Everyone, brace yourselves!
