Northern Pride. Headquarters of the Holy Guard. | |||
Lord Commander Kanon! | |||
Kanon |
Basheeny...how is Almira's condition?! | ||
Suzuka |
... | ||
Fortunately, there is no risk to her life. Still, the wound was surprisingly deep. She is currently receiving treatment by the medical unit. | |||
Kanon |
I see. What is going on? What were you doing with Almira...? I had received a report from Kazahaya that she was headed with Captain Othima to Saga, but... | ||
It's a long story. However, in summary, while heading to Saga, I encountered the fleeing Almira. | |||
Suzuka |
Fleeing? From Saga Region? | ||
Yes. She told me she was able to escape due to Kagura's quick judgment. | |||
Kanon |
Were they attacked by Greed Dike in Saga? Yauras wasn't able to make it out in time? | ||
Regarding that... This is difficult for me to report, but...Captain Yauras was killed in the line of duty. | |||
Kanon |
What...?! | ||
Suzuka |
... | ||
She was slaughtered by the Templar's leader Sol. Furthermore, Sol...he has detained Captain Kagura and is said to be currently headed to Saga Region in order to seize the Matter. | |||
Kanon |
!!! | ||
Suzuka |
No...! | ||
Before making his way to Saga, Captain Othima informed me that protecting the Matter was the highest priority. I'm sure he will be able to rescue Captain Kagura as well. | |||
Kanon |
... ... Is that all...true? | ||
Yes...unfortunately. | |||
Kanon |
...Very well. | ||
Suzuka |
My lady... | ||
Currently, Greed Dike's main army is approaching us here in Northern Pride. We encountered them ourselves. Their numbers are vast to the point that we could not determine where their ranks ended. I believe that Captain Yauras and Captain Kagura assisted Almira in her escape in order to pass on this report. | |||
Kanon |
I thank the two of you for this report. | ||
We serve at your pleasure. | |||
Huff...huff... We've received a report from the frontlines! | |||
Kanon |
...! | ||
Greed Dike's army is approaching! Their exact numbers are undeterminable due to their endless ranks. This is unmistakably Greed Dike's main army! | |||
Suzuka |
Mistress...! | ||
Kanon |
Proceed to intercept immediately! | ||
Suzuka |
... | ||
Kanon |
Inform both the Royal Palace and the Holy Order to hurry with the evacuation of all citizens! Basheeny, contact each squadron! | ||
Suzuka |
Understood! | ||
Very well! | |||
Kanon |
...So, it's finally gotten to this point! I won't let you do as you please, Orion! | ||
Saga Region. Near the Wind Temple. | |||
Venom Arrow Rain!!! | |||
Sol |
Hyaaah! | ||
Kagura |
Ack...! | ||
Sol |
I heard you were calm and calculated. Your passionate attack plays quite against my image of you. | ||
I heard that you were a man who destroys without discrimination or regard... The most efficient way to avoid further damage is to finish you off as soon as possible. | |||
Sol |
Efficient, huh? I heard that was your catchphrase. However, aren't you acting in contrary to your beliefs? | ||
...What are you talking about? | |||
Sol |
You went out of your way to appear before us. If you had hidden along with the rest of the wind tribe, you could've prevented any and all casualties. | ||
I'm a captain of the Holy Guard. I would never run while letting you remain unchecked. | |||
Sol |
No...that's not that the only reason. | ||
...What do you mean? | |||
Sol |
You're going to tell me you're here to take me down and save this redhead. However, the truth is that there's a reason you can't move from here, isn't there? | ||
...! | |||
Kagura |
A reason she can't move...? | ||
Sol |
I told you just now, didn't I? The Matter has consistently been stored within the temples. I doubt this tribe is an exception. | ||
Kagura |
...Oh... | ||
Sol |
You managed to evacuate all your people, but...you cannot move the Matter from this temple. If someone has to protect the Matter... It's pretty much predetermined who that person would be. | ||
... ... | |||
Sol |
In other words...the final Matter is still stored in this temple. Or else... You wouldn't do something so inefficient as launching an ambush against me. | ||
Kagura |
...Seida... | ||
...Are you finished? | |||
Sol |
Huh? | ||
Heartbreaking Arrow!!! | |||
Sol |
Ack...?! | ||
You can conjecture about my presence as much as you like. Either way, I'm going to finish you here. | |||
Sol |
He-hey! Hold on a second...! | ||
No. I won't give you a moment's grace. This is where it ends! | |||
Sol |
Tsk! You won't even let me get a word in...?! In that case... | ||
Kagura |
Wh-whoa...?! | ||
Sol |
Seriously... You may be getting worked up, but... I have here one of your precious comrades. If I were to use her as a shield like this... | ||
Kagura |
You're an idiot. | ||
Sol |
Huh? | ||
Kagura |
You really don't know anything about us, do you? Look. | ||
Sol |
...?! He-hey...didn't you hear me?! Can't you see her here?! | ||
From the moment we each became a Paladin, we resolved ourselves to our fate. In order to rid this world of any and all threats, we are more than willing to sacrifice ourselves. Isn't that right, Kagura? | |||
Kagura |
Of course. | ||
Sol |
...! | ||
We of the Holy Guard will never succumb to you and your kind! Twin Fang God Wolf!!! | |||
Sol |
Argh! Dodge it!!! | ||
Kagura |
Whoa...! | ||
Sol |
That was close... What power! Hey...are you okay, Redhead? | ||
Kagura |
How about you worry about yourself instead? | ||
Sol |
What? Where did all those arrows come from?! | ||
You've been targeted from every angle. You have nowhere to run. Goodbye. | |||
Sol |
Ack...?! Arghhhhhhh!!! | ||
Kagura |
Yes...! Seida!!! | ||
...No! | |||
Kagura |
Huh...? | ||
That impact just now...that wasn't my technique! | |||
??? |
I think you should retract that last goodbye. | ||
Kagura |
?! | ||
Sol |
You suppress your emotions and calmly take down your enemy. I'll have to admit, I don't dislike your composed attitude. Hey, you...do you want to be my woman? | ||
Kagura |
Sol...! | ||
Ack! Sorry, but I'm not into kids! | |||
Sol |
I see. That's unfortunate. | ||
Huh...?! | |||
Kagura |
The Alize people settlement...! | ||
... | |||
Sol |
No matter how much I fall for a woman, it goes against my philosophy to obtain her by force. | ||
From behind...?! | |||
Sol |
Even if I were to obtain someone by force, their heart will never belong to me. It's unfortunate. | ||
Aghh!!! | |||
Kagura |
Seidaaaa!!! |
