What Exists in the Next World


Beast of Corruption	!
Logi	...
Dias Agatha	...
Agatha	Dias!
Dias	Yeah, I got it.
Beast of Corruption	Ah...
Agatha	Good night, Master Emmel. This time... please ascend to heaven with Master Nimul...
Beast of Corruption	Ah...
Faint Voice	It's okay, you can rest now, "Emmel". ...
Beast of Corruption	Ah... ah... I see... You love this... thing... that was created in your own image... ...
Edgar	!
Tina	!
Lisbeth	!
Ouroboros	!
Kamui	!
Amane	!
Ouroboros	...
Agatha	!
Dias Logi	...
Logi	With this...
Dias	Let's end this, Ouroboros!
Dias Logi	!
Ouroboros	Yes...
In the past...







The present...

Ouroboros	So much for this observation. It's been too long, too long, too long... My significance. My end. My love... I have certainly seen it through to the end.
Tina	The corruption...
Edgar	It's not just my gun, it's not just my gun that's stuck.
Kamui	The contract with the Door of Truth... The technique that relies on the power of "power" has ceased to function. This is...
Logi	Ouroboros. You are...
Ouroboros	Hold up the stones, Seven wills.
Logi	...
Dias	...
Edgar	...
Lisbeth	...
Tina	...
Amane	...
Ouroboros	Then let's go... All the roles we have played have now been fulfilled.

Ouroboros	...

Amane	It's over... With this....
Kamui	Yeah. First we should report this to everyone outside the tower.
Logi	Yes, that's right! His Majesty was waiting outside!
Dias	Yes, there you are. Such a thing too.
Logi	If His Majesty hears you, he'll beat you up, right?
Dias	That's right. Be careful.
Agatha	Your majesty?
Dias	Yes, you didn't know Agatha. It's Laurel Minga, the new King of Envylia...

Dias	...
Kamui	...
Amane	...
Tina	...
Edgar	Yes...
Logi	This tower is a product of alchemy...
Lisbeth	Wait a minute, I don't have my wand... I can't fly!
Agatha	Let's get off quickly! Quickly!
Dias	No, wait, this height? It's just a bit crazy...
Ethan	"Hey everyone! Are you all right?" "We managed to get the airship moving, so we've come to your rescue..."
Logi	All of you! Hop on...!
Ethan	"What? Whoa, hey! Everyone, it's dangerous, please don't..."

Edgar	I thought I was going to die!
Amane	...! The Tower of Babel...


Tina	It seems to have collapsed halfway...
Kamui	It seems that the structure is not going to disappear all of a sudden. However...
Lisbeth	The light of the Grand Excelsior covers the entire tower...
Dias	It's the same light I was hit by at the beginning of Logi's creation. It's going to be hard to get in there to reexamine it.
Kamui	But maybe that's a good thing. The power of that tower... the Stone of the Gods... is too much for us people.
Logi	Yes... Even without that power, we'd still be...
Agatha	...
Logi	We will protect this world. I'm sure...
This is how... The story of us alchemists, who were involved in the Tower of Babel, came to an end.

Laurel Louis	...
Aimerlin Amran	...
Rebecca Venus Fiona	...
Fuu Voda Tehre	...
Seriolde Adelbert Tanosuke	...
The tower disappeared, the monsters were gone, and the continent of Babel regained its temporary peace... I think. From now on, there will surely be an era of peace. Just as the sorrows of history that we have accumulated up to this point have not been merely sad. Times change, people change, and one day our turn will pass and the era will be handed over to new people. Misunderstandings and discrimination will never completely disappear. And yet... But for now... Only for now... Believing in a brighter future, we ran through this era.

Lil' Ouroboros	Well, if it were that easy to disappear, we wouldn't have any trouble, would we?
Ouroboros	Shut up...
Lil' Ouroboros	You're just leaving on your own, you know that?
Ouroboros	Stop it... I will sleep for a while... This time I'm exhausted...
Lil' Ouroboros	Well, that's all right, since you're going to be my deputy for a while. But... you will have to jump out of bed soon, I am convinced of this, having observed it for a long time in this world. Man's greed is insatiable. They will always seek the truth again. Until then, you may coast along in your sleep.
Ouroboros	...
The battle may be over, the story may be over, but our lives will go on. And the next curtain will not rise for some time to come.


Amane	...
Ugachi	Hey, what are you sneaking around for?
Amane	What? Uh-uh, Captain Ugachi! Well, you see...
Ugachi	If you came back, you should report your return first.
Amane	That's true, but...
Ugachi	What is it?
Amane	I was thinking of going on another trip to, uh, everyone who helped me in this battle? To repay the favor? I'm not sure.
Ugachi	...
Amane	I will continue to train properly! That's true! That's true!
Ugachi	You'll be back. Other than that, do as you please.
Amane	Eh? Oh... pat my head...
Ugachi	You're already a necessary person for this country. Just be aware of that, Amane.
Amane	Yeah... Yes, yes!


Edgar	Hmm, the stigma of Zeke Crowley, Knight of Envylia, is finally cleared, hehe, good for you, Logi.
Tango	...
Edgar	Oh, the diplomatic relations between Saga and Lustburg have been strengthened! This is going to change the course of business, huh? Now then, as for the request... You're looking for someone again? Taras, what do you think you're doing to me? Well, you know, it's all right. I'm sure you're helping people. If you skip work too much, the angels will be appalled. Shall we do our best for another day?

Tina	...
Saga Citizen A	...
Saga Citizen B	...
Mocca	Hello, Chief Tina. You're finally starting to look the part.
Tina	Mocca. Long time no see! How's Tamis doing?
Mocca	I'm fine. I've been worried about what might happen to you since you brought Matter back to earth... All of Tamis's fears are unfounded... She is fulfilling her duties as one of the Four Great Spirites...
Tina	Mocca, you're still the same.
Mocca	I don't see any change. Recently I've been able to get one of Lord Fuu warriors, you know?
Tina	That's great!
Mocca	Heh, I'm sure it is. So, Tina... anything changed?
Tina	...? What do you mean?
Mocca	Don't hide. I'm listening, okay? You've received letters of courtship from settlements all over Saga, haven't you?
Tina	I've been busy with my duties as a chief! I'm too busy with my duties as a chief!
Mocca	I'm not ready for that. Boring.
Tina	How about that, Mocca?
Mocca	I would never have a mate before my sister.
Tina	Oh, I see. That's right... You were that kind of woman... "I"?
Mocca	Oh... No, I mean... Tamis told me that I didn't have to be so careful to protect myself anymore. I didn't mean it, not even a little bit, but Tamis wasn't convinced... First of all, the form.
Tina	...
Mocca	Don't laugh there! I'm trying to be serious!
Tina	I'm sorry, but it's okay. It may feel strange now, but you'll get used to it.
Mocca	I hope so!
Tina	Well... from the looks of it, you're free tonight too, right? How about a drink?
Mocca	Okay, I'll go out with you, just got some interesting drinks from Lustburg...!

Lisbeth	...
Alma	Oh, what's the matter with our country's most famous witch, looking so downcast? No way, Melvy squeezed you again...
Lisbeth	Alma~...
Alma	Yes, it's a broken heart, isn't it? It looks like you had a big blowout.
Lisbeth	I knew that! I thought so! "I can't respond to your feelings yet." Wah...
Alma	... (That, surprisingly, still doesn't have a pulse... no, no, it's not good to get our hopes up...) Yes, yes, cry on my chest! Auntie! Bring me a Caramel Jaeger~
Rebecca	Oh, there you are, Liz and Alma. What's that?
Alma	Oh, just the place... Let's go hang out with this crybaby for a minute...
Lisbeth	Rebecca!
Rebecca	No, that's why! First of all, tell me why you are crying!
Lisbeth	A... a... a... ~~!
Rebecca	So, what on earth! What is it?

Amran	Ah~... You are unbelievably busy today, this Babel continent... How many times have I traveled back and forth between my desert home and another country! Even I am exhausted by the difference in temperature!
Kamui	You volunteered for this role, didn't you? To build a distribution network across the country for the reconstruction after the war... The completion of this line will certainly speed up the reconstruction of the continent. You still have a nose for sniffing out commercial opportunities, Amran.
Amran	Yes, that is my goal now. I would have liked to get into the bosom of Her Eminence the Pope and move the world from behind the scenes in various ways, but...
Kamui	You don't like her, Her Eminence Aimerlin.
Amran	She's a little too dreamy... she dreams of her people, she dreams of the future, and she spends everything on her dreams... I'm the best in the business, but she's too sweet to be my friend.
Kamui	That's why you have chosen to support us from the shadows, isn't it?
Amran	No, but... I am doing this for my own benefit all the way.
Kamui	Haha, then you must work hard.
Amran	I hear you, Kamui. It's not like that, okay? It's not like that at all...!


Logi	Dad, I finally cleared your name. And you know what? I'm now the Captain of the Blue Flame Guard, just like you.
Agatha	You're still out of it... but this morning, if I hadn't woken you up, you would have overslept.
Logi	Ugh, that's... That's right.
Agatha	But... Logi, you are doing your best. Dad, and Dias...
Dias	What did you say?
Agatha	Dias! They're having a ceremony for the Holy Order of Babel today...
Dias	Yes, well, then, Anym... Her Eminence Pope Aimerlin told me I didn't have to leave. The prohibition against alchemy has been removed, and as a result, the power structure that has been centralized in the Holy Guard Knights is now a problem. From now on, they're going to reduce the number of official duties in order to reduce their voice in public. The talk of bringing Shangdi back to the Holy Guard, which had begun to show signs of recovery, has now been put to rest. The Holy Guard will be suffering from a shortage of personnel for the time being... Well, Louis looked relieved when he heard about this...
Logi	Are you okay? Is that what the symbol of justice on the continent is...
Dias	It was over-powerful to begin with, which is why it allowed the Corpse to stir in the shadows. From now on, the Holy Guard Knights will be more open. So that everyone can believe in its justice and rely on it.
Agatha	I see, Dias has finally come round...
Dias	You're out of your mind. Speaking of which, what's going on over there? Laurel was planning to install Logi as king of Envylia?
Logi	With a single word from our Queen Agatha, His Majesty has been silenced.
Dias	Yes~...
Agatha	Stop it! I'm not going to become the Queen of Wratharis! I'll never be able to play politics or follow the manners of the nobility! I swear it!
Logi	No, I understand how you feel, but...
Dias	You can't do it, it's in your blood.
Agatha	Both of you!? Whose side are you on?
Logi	Ahaha...
Dias	Haha.
Until now, the history of this continent has been uninterrupted. I think it is also proof that someone in each era has lived to the fullest, as if on fire, as if they were struggling. Dancing with the will of God, sometimes making the wrong choice, sometimes hurting each other, and yet... We have lived on this continent. For whom should we use the power we have obtained? What is the power of alchemy for? The answer is still unknown. It's just that... Still, I hope that this time when the three of us can laugh together will last as long as possible... And that's why this power exists, at least that's what I believe, and that's why I'm going forward. That's why I'm fighting, for the sake of those I love and care about. We wield alchemy.

The "will" of the people is at the mercy of the gods' "stones"... The accumulation of wishes and prayers from someone thinking of someone else becomes "will". Forbidden power that gives birth to all things turns into stone through the accumulation of sins, and history is woven. Alchemists, for whom shal we wield our power?
