Chapter 7 Episode 1/3-10 - Storyline

Even If I'm Criticized As Evil

Dias Vermio	!
Dias	Please step back quietly, Vermio.
Vermio	You are the one who should quietly hand over Excalibur... or else...
Corpse Knights	...
Vermio	I'll take it by force. That's my mission.
Dias	Too boring...
Corpse Knight A	!
Dias	!
Corpse Knight A	...
Corpse Knight B	!
Dias	!
Corpse Knight B	...
Vermio	Just stick to your beliefs... That's right... You were that kind of guy...!
Corpse Knights	...
Dias	There are so many of them...! ...!?
???	!
Corpse Knights	...
Tina	...
Lisbeth	Are you okay, Mr. Dias!?
Dias	Do not touch...! I can't let you get involved!
Lisbeth	That's why we can't just ignore it!
Dias	Your position will be in jeopardy!
Tina	But that doesn't mean it's not in our nature to abandon our friends... Oh, wind!
Corpse Knights	!
Lisbeth Tina	!
Corpse Knights	...
Vermio	Friends... Huh... Let me ask you something, Dias. Even if you don't give me Excalibur, what are you going to do now?
Dias	Back to Northern Pride.
Vermio	...!? If so, it wouldn't be any different from handing over Excalibur here...?
Dias	The mission hasn't been accomplished yet. So there's no need to give Excalibur to Avis.
Vermio	What...?
Dias	Excalibur has not yet regained its true power... So the mission is still in progress.
Vermio	...!
In the past...

Vermio	Is there an exception?
Avis	There is no guarantee that Excalibur's true power has been lost over time. At that time, let Dias swim.
Vermio	Why...?
Avis	I thought it would be a shorter path to recovery if we let Dias swim. If we don't, you'll lose him again, like the little sister you cherished so much.
Vermio	Sister...
Avis	No matter how things turn out, we have an advantage because that's how it works. Everything is according to my plan.
The present...

Vermio	But even so, you'll have to give me Excalibur eventually. Will you still stick to your beliefs? What drives you so much...?
Dias	You wouldn't understand. You wouldn't go and save your sister.
Vermio	That's why it's forbidden...!
Dias	Even if you were bound by that responsibility and truly lost your sister, Vermio... would you be able to say the same words!?
Vermio	...!
Dias	If we don't do it now, we may not be able to save it, before it's too late.
Vermio	If I'm running away...!?
Dias	No, you're suffering too. Even though you became a Holy Guard Knight to save your sister, it's shackled and you can't save her... That contradiction...
Vermio	Dias...!
Dias	In that case, I will destroy this world of contradictions... You can overcome the contradictions and go save your sister... In order to change such a world.
Vermio	Can you do that?
Dias	I'm not talking about what I can do or what I can't do. I'm just doing it for the sake of... Move forward... Move forward...
Vermio	...!
Dias	Are you still planning on doing it?
Vermio	Absolutely... You...
Dias	Will you lost?
Vermio	Lord Avis has told me that if Excalibur has not regained its true power, I can let you swim.
Dias	Really...
Vermio	But... It's not just because it's a mission. I want to see where you go... and... The world you draw...
Dias	Really...
Vermio	Show your resolve, Dias. If you're going to deal with Lord Avis, your half-baked feelings will destroy you.
Dias	Even without being told...
Vermio	I hope I never have to fight you again.
Dias	I think so too... But... I have a belief that I must stick to, even if I am denounced as evil. Even though the whole world was my enemy, I came to know someone who was able to protect a single possibility.
Vermio	If you have a chance, please let me know.
Corpse Knights	...
Lisbeth	Mr. Dias...!
Tina	That man...?
Dias	The only person who understands within the Holy Guard, or something like that.
Lisbeth	Are you going back to Northern Pride after all?
Dias	Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry to bring you all into this, but... I'll do something to keep you out of harm's way.
Tina	Don't worry about us. Just worry about yourself. Isn't the path you're about to take more difficult than that?
Dias	Yeah... But no matter what path it takes, I won't stop walking.
Lisbeth	Please help Agatha.
Dias	Thank you, Liz. I'll definitely try to help her. Give Excalibur back its true power.

Greed Dike Soldiers	...
Greed Dike Soldier A	Who are you? You can't come through here without permission!
Greed Dike Soldier B	First, give your name! Why did you visit here?
Dias	My name is Dias Elysion, commander of the 4th Regiment of the Holy Guard. Will you allow me an audience with the Sun King? Time is of the essence...!
