*Paris: So this time it's a botanical garden...
*Paris: The botanical garden is located between the first blast furnace and a river. I can also see what looks like landfills and cities ahead.
 	
*Paris: Honestly, what is the demon here intending to do with this land?
 	
*Grahdens: Hm, a demon interested in human technology.
 	
*Grahdens: As demons are born with immense power, they rarely show interest in such things.
*Grahdens: In fact, humans only constructed and refined different technologies due to their own weaknesses.
 	
*Grahdens: So then, why is Mordlim, the demon ruler of this land, interested in these human-made things?
*Grahdens: I am quite curious.
 	
*Lugina: A demon interested in human technologies.
 	
*Lugina: Ugh, doesn't seem like a demon Mora would hate. So then her goal must be...
 	
*Lugina: Whatever, there are more important things to focus on than her movements right now.
 	
*Seria: Quit your blabbering! Now, let's get a move on.
*Seria: There's no point in talking here.
*Seria: We have to go before Lord Owen gets even further ahead!
 	
*Owen: ...hmm.
 	
*Lugina: Seria, you...
 	
*Lugina: Hey, .
*Lugina: When Seria gets older, do you think she'll end up like Owen?
 	
*Paris: , don't answer that. There is no good answer...
 	
*Seria: What are you whispering about over there?!
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho.

*Grahdens: Hm, what's that?
*Grahdens: Why are all these boulders tumbling down?
 	
*Lugina: Tsk, this trap is probably Mirfah again!
 	
*Owen: Get a hold of yourself! They are but mere stones! Simply shatter them!
 	
*Lugina: There are too many!
 	
*Lugina: Darn it, everyone scatter and evacuate! We'll be slowed down if we move together!
*Lugina: Our target is the Weather Tower! Just get there however you can!
 	
*Lugina: Tsk, I'm outta here!
 	
*Seria: , don't loiter around. Move it, now!
 	
*Paris: , I'm sure you'll be fine, but be careful!
 	
*Grahdens: Hm, is Mirfah nearby? No, I do not believe so...
 	
*Owen: Hm, it appears everyone has lost their nerve.

*???: Well, you clearly won't be defeating anyone in this state.
 	
*Karl: Hey there, .
 	
*Karl: Haha. There's no need for that troubled look.
 	
*Karl: Keeping up with you all has been a bit of a hassle, so...
*Karl: I worked with Mirfah to have a little trap set up.
 	
*Karl: ...... Well, I suppose that would explain the troubled look.
 	
*Karl: Of course, I did think this a bit bad on my part.
*Karl: But I did truly believe you would all be fine.
*Karl: And it does seem everyone has escaped safely, so...
*Karl: ......
*Karl: , this is where I get to my main point.
*Karl: I heard a lot about Ishgria's Recon Squad from Mirfah.
*Karl: I also think that the things Grahdens and the other Elder Summoners did earned them their hatred.
*Karl: However, I figured gramps must have had his own reasons.
 	
*Karl: Ah, I told Mirfah about my own circumstances too.
 	
*Karl: At first I seemed to alarm him, but when I talked to him about things I've yet to share with you guys...
*Karl: ...then he became extremely kind.
*Karl: He, well, despite how he looks, he's a good person at his core.
*Karl: What's more, apparently he had a pretty adorable face long ago.
*Karl: Haha. It's hard to imagine that now though.
 	
*Karl: He was the newest person in the Recon Squad...
*Karl: ...and he was treated well by the others. He spoke fondly of those times.
*Karl: Well, his friends in the squad would be exactly why he has that hatred for the Summoners of Old.
*Karl: That's why as far as I'm concerned, you should head back to Elgaia as soon as possible.
*Karl: Because if you do, then Grahdens and Mirfah won't have to fight.
*Karl: I've said it before, but I will do something about Tilith.
*Karl: And the demons as well.
*Karl: So, can you trust me and turn back?
*Karl: ......
 	
*Karl: Well, I suppose that is impossible.
*Karl: Haha. I knew it, but I didn't think it'd hurt asking again.
 	
*Karl: ......
*Karl: Oh well. Everything will be fine as long as I accomplish my goal before you're done with yours.
*Karl: Hey, . What do you think about the Akras Summoners' Hall?
*Karl: This may be just because Grahdens raised me, but...
*Karl: ...I thought it was a great organization.
 	
*Karl: It doesn't have any ties to countries or governments, and it employs people of all social statuses.
*Karl: And more importantly, its purpose is to protect the powerless.
*Karl: Of course, things obtained in Grand Gaia end up being somewhat exclusive...
*Karl: ...which has its economical benefits.
*Karl: Still, I believe the essence of the Akras Summoners' Hall is to protect people.
 	
*Karl: And yet, there is still so much that I don't know.
*Karl: You've noticed it too, right?
*Karl: Grahdens is clearly hiding something.
 	
*Karl: On the one hand I feel like that doesn't matter, but...
*Karl: After hearing about the Recon Squad from Mirfah...
*Karl: ...I began to think we really needed to hear everything from the Summoners of Old.
*Karl: I don't think I can continue to risk my life without knowing anything.
*Karl: ......
*Karl: Sorry, this conversation doesn't have much to do with my goals...
*Karl: Well, , I should be going.
*Karl: I'll be sure to talk to you some more once my plans are ready.
*Karl: So, don't you guys go venturing too far head.
 	
*Karl: Ever since Owen appeared...
*Karl: ...I've been worried about you guys making a little too much progress.
 	
*Karl: ...... But I guess it's goodbye for now.
 	
*Spectacled Man: Trusting old friends... Isn't that grand.
*Spectacled Man: I've wanted that for a long time. To meet my old friends...
