*Reed: At last, we've finally reached Mistral...
 	
*Reed: The promised land that you saw in your vision should be just ahead.
 	
*Lucana: Yes, it should be...
*Lucana: Somewhere ahead there's a place where people can live happily, free of the menacing gods.
 	
*Reed: Still...we can't let our guard down.
*Reed: The God Army probably knows that we're here...
*Reed: For all we know, they're breathing down our necks right now.
 	
*Lucana: I'm sure everyone is worn out from our long journey. We've got to keep things together to set a good example.
 	
*Reed: You're right.
*Reed: We made it this far because we all worked together.
 	
*Lucana: ......
 	
*Reed: You don't need to worry so much.
*Reed: I'm sure Aneil will find us a safe route.
 	
*Lucana: Yeah, he will. We can't start having doubts now!
 	
*Reed: That's the spirit!
 	
*Aneil: Hmm...
 	
*Rhein: What's wrong, Aneil? You look worried.
 	
*Aneil: Oh, it's you, Rhein.
 	
*Rhein: If you're holding a map and looking worried, I guess it's got something to do with our route?
 	
*Aneil: Um, yeah...
*Aneil: Since most of the roads in Mistral are twisted and winding, there are a lot of places for enemies to hide.
*Aneil: I want to take the shortest route we can, even if it's a difficult one.
 	
*Aneil: At the same time, odds are the God Army will be waiting for us no matter where we go, so I can't decide...
*Aneil: And on the other hand, it looks like it would take quite a while to get there using a safer route.
 	
*Rhein: Hmm... The people are exhausted. Do they have the strength to make it if we take the long way?
 	
*Aneil: That is also something to consider...
 	
*Rhein: Then just leave it to me. I'll be sure to keep ahead of whatever comes our way, and take action before the people are in danger.
 	
*Aneil: But we don't know what kind of enemies to anticipate, or when...
 	
*Rhein: Even so.
*Rhein: Right now, our highest priority has to be guiding the people to their destination as quickly as possible.
 	
*Rhein: Am I wrong?
 	
*Aneil: No, you're right. Fine...please do your best.
 	
*Reed: Aneil, did you decide on a route?
 	
*Aneil: Oh, Reed!
 	
*Aneil: Yes. I think we should take the shortest route, since we don't have a lot of time to spare.
 	
*Lucana: Hehe, then that's the plan. Thank you for all your help, Aneil!
 	
*Reed: All right, just a bit farther and we'll be at the promised land! We're not leaving a single man or woman behind!
 	
*???: You never change.
 	
*Reed: Eru!
 	
*Eru: We're not leaving a single man or woman behind, huh?
*Eru: While that's very like you to say...
*Eru: ...do you really think you can manage it, knowing the dangers that await you?
 	
*Reed: Do you even have to ask?
 	
*Reed: I'll show you I can!
 	
*Eru: Hmph, you really do never change...
 	
*Lucana: So, um... More importantly, how were things when you checked out the area?
*Lucana: I feel like you took quite a while... I mean, for a scouting mission...
 	
*Eru: Yeah, I didn't see anything dangerous enough to pose a threat to us at a glance, though.
 	
*Reed: All right, then all we have to do is keep moving forward!
 	
*Eru: Still, since the group we're leading has grown...
*Eru: ...the people won't be the only ones who have learned of us. The God Army will know by now, too.
 	
*Reed: Th-That's...
 	
*Aneil: ......
 	
*Eru: While I doubt they know that this land was our destination...
*Eru: ...I still have a bad feeling about things. It's only a feeling, though.
 	
*Rhein: ......
*Rhein: Relax. If something goes wrong, I'll scout it out like I always do.
*Rhein: And everyone else can keep moving ahead like they always do.
 	
*Lucana: You're right. We'll be fine if we all help each other.
 	
*Reed: Okay, now let's head out!
 	
*Reed: We've only got a little bit more to go until we reach our goal!
