Chapter 9 Episode 2/3-8 - Storyline

Without a Single Person Missing

Logi	Apparently, the preparations are almost finished.
Avis	I guess that means I'm almost done with my part of the job. Then let me ask you one last question, Logi Crowley.
Logi	...? What?
Avis	What? It's easy. You said: My wish. My ideal. You said it was wrong to sacrifice the present to gain the future.
Logi	Yes...
Avis	What difference does it make to you now? Is it the number of sacrifices? Is it the approval or disapproval? Is it only a question of quantity, and if it's only one sacrifice, it doesn't matter?
Logi	No, no! I would never force someone to make a sacrifice...
Avis	Don't look away, Logi Crowley. This is a very important choice for you.
Logi	Where do you stand, Avis, looking down on a man's choices and valuing them?
Avis	I'm a dead man, after all. It seems that those who are no longer in a position to influence the world are tempted to poke their necks into the choices of the living.
Logi	None of your business.
Avis	Well, then. I guess the actor who's time is up can go quietly. I lived a life that I did not regret. You overthrew me and moved on. I hope you can chew on the meaning of that, even if only a little. ...
Logi	...
Beast of Corruption	...
Logi	I'm ready. All that remains is for the power of creation to purge me of this stain. Almost. Almost...
Tina	Almost there, what? You were ready to give me a sermon, Logi.
Logi	Tina. You've really come this far.
Tina	Of course I have. This is the beast of creation... This is the embodiment of the inner world of the corpse of the great ancestor Emmel.
Logi	I'm surprised you know so much about alchemy.
Tina	Recently, I've been beaten into a pulp, and to be honest, it's been hard for me to even think back on those days... And that beast behind you.
Beast of Corruption	...
Logi	Yes... The crystallization of the corruption that resides in the remains of the founder Emmel, and which has taken on the form of a beast.
Tina	Then, if you defeat her...
Beast of Corruption	...
Tina	This is...
Logi	Tina. You know what I'm talking about. The incarnation of the corruption you defeated to reach this "throne of creation" is only a small part of this beast. A calamity that cannot be purified, that cannot be defeated, that cannot be dealt with outside of creation.
Tina	And yet, Logi! There must be a way! If we all pool our wisdom, then surely...
Logi	I agree. Maybe.
Tina	Logi...
Logi	I also believe that "someday" we will find a way to do that. I believe that "someday" we will all find a way to get over this beast. But there's not enough time now. There's not enough time to keep waiting.
Tina	It's...
Logi	Don't stop me, Tina. I swore before Ouroboros. Peaceful days. Days without war, today when we can laugh with our friends, tomorrow when we don't have to be afraid. That's what's in front of us now, and I'm going to make this time a fairy tale ending...
Edgar	Then you must be saved too, or else it's a lie...!
Logi	Edgar...
Edgar	Don't give up, Logi Crowley! You were never that kind of a man! Serious at all times, a natural...! You were that kind of man who would never break no matter the hardship...!
Logi	Yeah, I've got a lot to say about your assessment of me right now, but... I'm not going to break. I believe I did the best I could to save the world.
Edgar	You! You don't know what you're talking about!
Lisbeth Amane	...
Lisbeth	Mister Logi...
Logi	Lisbeth, I see you're here too.
Lisbeth	Well, I... I understand how you feel, Mr. Logi. But...
Logi	Yes, I knew you would, because you... Like me, you suffer more when someone you care about gets hurt than when you get hurt yourself. If you were in my shoes, I'm sure you would have made the same choice.
Lisbeth	It's not that... ...
Amane	Logi. Are you certain?
Logi	Yes, of course.
Amane	Celis... have you forgotten your mother's words! To protect everyone's daily life, to continue to protect everyone's daily life is my...
Logi	That's why we created the world!
Amane	...
Logi	This is the best way to protect people's daily life, the daily life they love. You know, Amane, we must not end up with a world full of corruption and no smiles on the continent. Right, Amane?
Amane	...
Kamui	Logi.
Logi	Even Kamui knows that... This corruption cannot be purified. This method is the least likely to cause a loss of life.
Kamui	That's right. That's right.
Logi	Then...
Kamui	Yeah, so it's not my role to persuade you. Here come the last customers.
Logi	...
Dias Agatha	...
Dias	Stubborn Logi.
Logi	Dias...
Dias	Before we went into this fight, you scolded me and I had a lot of second thoughts. But you know what? To be honest, from my point of view, even you are a stubborn person who never listens to others!
Logi	Yeah, sorry...
Dias	Hmph, sorry won't fix it. You'll be sorry you didn't let them talk you out of this.
Logi	What? Why...?
Dias	It's obvious that...
Agatha	...
Dias	Our sister is already angry...
Logi	Oh, hum...
Agatha	Soooo... Logi, you're idiooooooooooooot!!
