First of all, let me thank you for saving the war-torn Saga Region.

Hey.
Laurel
Laurel
Not hey, you, read the air.
Dias
Dias
Huh?
Laurel
Laurel
You! Reply! Do, Lord Commander...!
Dias
Dias
Yes, is that so?
Laurel
Laurel
No, he doesn't even know he's doing it...
Apparently, the new Lord Commander is still new to politics.

We are, of course, grateful to all the camps that have come to our rescue...

Nevertheless, there is an order of respect!
Dias
Dias
I don't understand.
Laurel
Laurel
Huh... Kamui.
Kamui
Kamui
I'm going to explain it to you?
Laurel
Laurel
I'm a pain in the ass.
Kamui
Kamui
Well... Well then.

Our alliance is ostensibly a participation in Pope Aimerlin's convocation.

All countries have an equal relationship under Pope Aimerlin, but...
Edgar
Edgar
The Lord Commander is the exception to the rule?
Kamui
Kamui
Yes, the Lord Commander is the head of the Holy Guard.

In other words, it's a position of trust for the Holy Order of Babel... On the battlefield, he is the representative of Her Eminence the Pope.
Dias
Dias
In other words, it is a...
Laurel
Laurel
Than I am in this moment! You are in a superior position!
Dias
Dias
No, but...
Ha ha ha...! It seems that the Lord Commander of this generation is a very lenient man, isn't he?
Dias
Dias
Sorry...
Well, you were suddenly given a position in a time of war. Why should it be any different? You will learn from this, boy.
Dias
Dias
Boy... What is respect?
Laurel
Laurel
They're trying to fit you in...

But there's one thing I don't understand. Why did the Holy Knights of Babel target Saga?

Whatever their goal is, there must be no good reason for them to target this place.
Even if there was no advantage, there must have been a problem.
Laurel
Laurel
A problem...?
When they invaded Saga, that's why we, the Four Great Sprites, were late to join the fray.

We used the alchemy of Matter to suppress the corruption of this continent.
Laurel
Laurel
Matter is the Saga's holy-grail treasure, but the corruption... What does that mean?
Kamui
Kamui
Stagnation in this world, a kind of waste of the world that arises when the circulation of alchemy is stagnant.

But at the root of it, however, it is the result of the pollution of alchemy by human emotions... desires and wishes.

In the Holy Order of Babel, this is called "sin."
Logi
Logi
"Sin"...
Kamui
Kamui
Those who preserve the customs of old societies, such as the Saga people and our people of Sephira, have long considered this the root of monster outbreaks.
Actually, we don't know.

We have come to realize, under the guidance of the Ouija, that the continent of Babel itself is tainted.

And its root is that "tower" that appeared northeast of Northern Pride.
Dias
Dias
...! That tower that Avis revealed...?
Logi
Logi
Wait a minute. That means that if we can do something about that tower...
Lisbeth
Lisbeth
If we could do something about the abnormal outbreak of monsters that is happening all over the continent right now...?
Laurel
Laurel
I'm sorry to sound skeptical, but how credible is that story?
It is a very difficult task to say "yes" to those who don't know, because we also have our own senses.
Laurel
Laurel
I know, right?
Logi
Logi
Does Your Majesty doubt what they say?
Laurel
Laurel
No, I don't. I've been shown a ton of your miracles.

But, you know... the people are not so lucky... it will take an army to take down that tower... and if we move the army, the people will starve.

After all we've been through, there's a mood of disillusionment in our country, perhaps even amongst Lustburg and Slothstein.

Of course, there are those who wish to rescue Agatha and those who wish to counterattack, but there are not enough of them to make a difference.
Logi
Logi
I'm told that many of the leading voices calling for Agatha's rescue were among those whose patriarchs lost their lives in the defense of Envylia.
Laurel
Laurel
I'm afraid so... When the head of the family dies, of course, the family has less say in the matter.

The tower is in the Northern Pride's territory, and when it comes to an offensive rather than a defensive operation, the will of the people is a big factor.
Dias
Dias
Indeed...
But there's no time. We've only created a reprieve... for whatever Avis's intentions are.

If we sit this one out, more blood may be spilled.
Tina
Tina
...

I have something to tell you all.
Lisbeth
Lisbeth
Tina?
Beelzebub. Are you going to use it?
Tina
Tina
I'm just borrowing a little... to call the right advisor for this moment.
???
???

Kamui
Kamui
...! This alchemy that could purify even the purest wind...
Lady Asena?
???

I didn't want to come out in the open anymore. Tina is pretty pushy.
Tina
Tina
I'm sorry, but now is the time for your words, the founder of those who live in our Saga...

Eulalia.
