*Cardes: I will not...lose...to insects...like yourselves...
 	
*Dean: Darn it! He started going berserk again!
*Dean: He's completely outta control!
 	
*Edea: At this rate...
 	
*Edea: ...... I will use Lafdranya's power once again!
*Edea: Everyone, please buy me some time!
 	
*Lorand: Understood.
*Lorand: We will stall him.
 	
*Dean: Yeah! We'll defend you from any of his attacks!
 	
*Loch: Please leave it to us!
 	
*Cardes: That armor...is...
*Cardes: Cannot...allow...
 	
*Dean: Don't make me laugh!
*Dean: We won't let you lay a finger on Edea!
 	
*Loch: I will not allow you to get in Her Royal Highness's way!
*Loch: I will stop you!
 	
*Cardes: Do you really believe...humans can defeat...a god...?
 	
*Loch: I'll prove it to you!!
 	
*Dean: You idiot! Fall back!!
 	
*Cardes: Don't be...so certain!!
 	
*Edea: AAAAHHHH!!
 	
*Loch: P-PRINCEEESSS!!
 	
*Edea: Argh...
 	
*Loch: The person I swore to protect has protected me once again...
 	
*Loch: I...I--!!
 	
*Edea: Please calm yourself...Loch...
*Edea: There is nothing...you should regret...
*Edea: It's just that perhaps I like protecting others...a little more than I like being protected...
 	
*Loch: Your Royal Highness...
*Loch: But...I...
 	
*Edea: I...I am so happy...that you came here to rescue me...
*Edea: When we were children...you always avoided me... But now...you've come to rescue me...
 	
*Loch: N-No!
*Loch: I wasn't avoiding you...
 	
*Edea: He he. I was just joking... I know the truth...
*Edea: But...that's exactly why...I wanted to return the favor...
*Edea: As the princess of Palmyna...to a brave...soldier...like you...
 	
*Edea: Urgh...
 	
*Loch: Your Royal Highness! Please do not overexert yourself!
*Loch: Dean! Hurry, the princess!!
 	
*Dean: Edea!
*Dean: Wait just a second, I'll treat your wounds right away!
 	
*Edea: I'm fine...
*Edea: So please, focus on stopping Cardes...
 	
*Edea: ......
*Edea: I can still fight...
*Edea: I will release Lafdranya's full power again...
 	
*Lorand: But Your Royal Highness, in your current physical state you'll...
 	
*Edea: I'm aware of that...
*Edea: ...but it's only because I'm willing to put my life on the line...
*Edea: ...that I think I can seal away Cardes.
 	
*Dean: No way... Don't tell me you...
 	
*Dean: Quit talking crazy!
*Dean: Why do you think we were able to come this far together?!
*Dean: Because of you!
*Dean: And you're trying to seal him away again?!
*Dean: You won't enter another deep sleep like before, you'll die for real this time!
 	
*Edea: ......
 	
*Loch: Please stop!
*Loch: Our purpose here is not that of forcing you to make such a sacrifice, Your Royal Highness!
 	
*Edea: ......
 	
*Edea: If Cardes manages to escape the Spirit World...
*Edea: ...every inhabitant of Palmyna will become a sacrifice...
*Edea: I cannot stand by and watch that unfold before my eyes...
 	
*Edea: Even if that requires me to sacrifice my own life...
 	
*Loch: ...... Seriously...?
*Loch: Are you freaking kidding me?!
 	
*Loch: Stop messing around!!
 	
*Edea: ...pardon me?!
 	
*Loch: Why are you so ready to throw your life away?!
*Loch: You have no idea why we came all the way here, do you?!
 	
*Loch: I...
*Loch: No, WE came here to fight for Palmyna, that's true!
 	
*Loch: But that's not the only reason why!
*Loch: We came here because of you!
*Loch: We can't just abandon you here just like that!!
*Loch: Why don't you just tell us that you want us to fight by your side until the very end, huh?!
 	
*Edea: Loch...
 	
*Dean: Hah... He said everything I was gonna say.
 	
*Dean: Edea, you give up way too easily. Don't you have any faith in us?
 	
*Lorand: Lady Edea, your judgement has its moments, and its shortcomings at times.
 	
*Lorand: But sometimes it is important to rely on others, and reassess the situation together.
 	
*Edea: Dean... Sir Lorand...
 	
*Loch: Dean! Professor Lorand! Stay with the princess until the very end!
 	
*Dean: Of course!
 	
*Lorand: Certainly!!
 	
*Cardes: Urgh...gragh...fools...
 	
*Cardes: Is this what they call...the beauty of the human bond?
*Cardes: I should be grateful to you miserable worms...
*Cardes: Because while you wasted your breath on those pathetic words, I have managed to regain control over my powers...
*Cardes: That overwhelming power is once again mine!
 	
*Loch: Grr...
 	
*Cardes: No matter what you do, your fate has already been decided.
*Cardes: You, along with that girl, are destined to die!
 	
*Dean: Argghh!
 	
*Lorand: Gwahhh!
 	
*Edea: Everyone!
 	
*Loch: It's all right...
 	
*Loch: We will not lose... We definitely won't lose!!
 	
*Dean: Yeah, we can't lose here...
*Dean: If we do, then we'll have fought for nothing this whole time.
 	
*Lorand: Exactly. This is a critical moment in our battle!
 	
*Dean: Edea! Don't worry about us!
*Dean: Just keep getting Lafdranya ready!
 	
*Edea: ......
 	
*Edea: Very well...
*Edea: ......
 	
*Cardes: ......
*Cardes: I grow tired of toying around with you...
*Cardes: I shall destroy you all with one blow!!
 	
*Dean: Gragh...
 	
*Loch: ......
 	
*Lorand: Urgh...
 	
*Cardes: This is as far as you go...
*Cardes: But do not despair...
*Cardes: ...for that girl shall soon follow the same fate...
 	
*Edea: ......
 	
*Protect...

*Cardes: What?!
*Cardes: My attack...was ineffective?!
 	
*Edea: This is...
 	
*Cardes: Then I shall attack once again!
 	
*Protect... I want to protect...these people...

*Cardes: GRAGGHH!!!
 	
*Edea: That voice... Is it Lafdranya?
 	
*Cardes: I-Impossible...
*Cardes: It used my own attack...against me?!
 	
*Edea: It's overflowing with so much more power than before...
*Edea: But at the same time, I feel like that power is disappearing...
*Edea: Is Lafdranya going berserk?
 	
*Edea: No, that's not it...
*Edea: Could this be...Lafdranya's own will?!
 	
*Lorand: My wounds are healing...
*Lorand: Is Lafdranya trying to save us all of its own free will?
 	
*Loch: Well, when the princess went into a deep slumber...
*Loch: ...it was Lafdranya who let us know she was still alive...
*Loch: And that voice...
 	
*Dean: Yeah...
*Dean: It's like that armor wanted to protect the princess too...
*Dean: Actually, you could say that it has wanted to protect her always, for way longer than us.

*Dean: Loch! Gramps! Lafdranya gave us one last chance to fix this!!
*Dean: We can't let it go to waste!!
 	
*Lorand: Yes, you're right!
*Lorand: You will now taste the fury of the Inferno Gladiator, Cardes!!
*Lorand: I will turn everything to ashes! Charred Spirit!!
 	
*Cardes: Argh!
 	
*Dean: I will not let you hurt my friends anymore.
*Dean: Try absolute zero temperatures for size!!
*Dean: Iceberg Rain!!
 	
*Cardes: What's this...?! My body is frozen!
 	
*Loch: I'll snipe you as many times as it takes!
*Loch: Until I destroy you!!
*Loch: Holy Bow of Dreams!!
 	
*Cardes: GRAAAAAAHHHH!
*Cardes: Y-You...filthy worms!!
 	
*Edea: Lafdranya... Please give me the strength for one last attack...
*Edea: ......
 	
*Edea: With this...
*Edea: With this attack, this long battle will finally meet its end!
 	
*Edea: Cardes the Malevolent... It's all over for you...
 	
*Edea: Ataraxia!!
 	
*Cardes: GWAAAAAARRGHHHHH!!!
*Cardes: I-It can't be...
*Cardes: I, a god...
*Cardes: A supreme god... Cardes the Malevolent...
*Cardes: I have...
*Cardes: ...been defeated by mere humans...
*Cardes: It cannot be...
*Cardes: This cannot...be...
 	
*Dean: Did we...win?
 	
*Lorand: His presence has completely disappeared...
*Lorand: I believe...we may have.

*Loch: We did it! We did it, Your Royal Highness!!
 	
*Edea: ......
*Edea: Now...
*Edea: Now Palmyna will be safe...
*Edea: Thank goodness...
 	
**Crack*
 	
*Edea: Lafdranya...is losing its powers...
 	
*Lorand: ......
*Lorand: It would seem that in fulfilling its role of protecting you, it used up all of its power...
*Lorand: It might have entered a deep slumber in order to recover its strength...
 	
*Edea: I'm sorry Lafdranya...
*Edea: You did so much for me...
 	
*Loch: ......
*Loch: No, Princess.
 	
*Edea: ...what?
 	
*Loch: You must have heard it too.
*Loch: Lafdranya's voice.
 	
*Dean: Yeah...
*Dean: That armor protected you from the beginning till the very end.
 	
*Dean: If that armor not only had a will, but feelings too...
*Dean: ...then I'm sure that at that very last moment when it gathered all of its strength to fight for you...
*Dean: ...it did so happily, and smiling.
 	
*Loch: Yes.
*Loch: And for that reason, it may be wiser to choose a better way to address Lafdranya.
 	
*Edea: ......
*Edea: You are right...
 	
*Edea: Thank you for protecting me for so long, Lafdranya.
 	
*Loch: ......
*Loch: Well, we should be on our way soon.
*Loch: The army must be anxiously awaiting Her Royal Highness's return!
 	
*Dean: Yeah...
*Dean: We don't wanna stay in this awful place longer than we have to.
 	
*Lorand: Lady Edea, from now on we will ask you to stop your exploits as a knight, and to regain your place as First Princess of Palmyna.
*Lorand: Even if their palace fell, the God Army still lives.
 	
*Lorand: We have our work cut out for us if we want to rebuild our ruined country anew.
 	
*Edea: Yes, I understand.
 	
*Edea: We have no time to waste now, do we?
 	
*Edea: Everything starts henceforth!
 	
*Loch: Do not worry.
*Loch: If Her Royal Highness ever needs it, I will be right here to help!
 	
*Dean: Oh geez...
*Dean: You only know how to use a bow! How are you gonna help with anything else?
 	
*Loch: What did you say?!
*Loch: I'm much more useful than a vulgar priest like you! I'll prove it to you!
 	
*Lorand: You two never change...
 	
*Lorand: CAN'T YOU JUST LET IT BE THIS ONE TIME?!
 	
*Edea: He he he...
*Edea: Let's go home, to our country of Palmyna...

*Rhynt: Hmph. To think you would include such an ending to your programming.
 	
*Noel: But I don't remember adding anything funny like that...
 	
*Noel: According to the situational data, that conclusion was entirely possible.
*Noel: Palmyna had no other power to rely on, except for that of the Four Heroes.
*Noel: That's why it was defeated.
*Noel: ......
*Noel: Rhynt, do you like tragedies?
 	
*Rhynt: Hmph... Not particularly.
*Rhynt: I just manage to keep my composure regardless of how different events happen to unfold.
 	
*Noel: Is that right...? That answer fits you perfectly...
*Noel: ......
 	
*Noel: I hate 'em though.
*Noel: I mean, there's no way humans would lose to any gods or demons anyway!
 	
*Rhynt: I see...
 	
*Noel: ......
*Noel: I said something stupid, didn't I...?
*Noel: Sorry.
 	
*Rhynt: No matter...
*Rhynt: But I must admit, humans are indeed very intriguing...
