*Reda: I am so sorry!
 	
*Reda: I completely disregarded the mission... I wasn't myself!
 	
*Tilith: It's okay.
*Tilith: That conversation that the machine played...it was pretty valuable, huh?
 	
*Reda: It was!!!
*Reda: Valuable doesn't even begin to describe it!
*Reda: Just the fact that it managed to survive that long... That in itself is miraculous!
 	
*Tilith: Hehe... Reda, you really love your history, don't you?
 	
*Reda: Ugh... I guess I should just save myself the excuses.
 	
*Tilith: Oh no, I'm not trying to make you feel bad.
 	
*Tilith: Actually, I'm a little jealous to see that you have something you can pour your heart into.
 	
*Tilith: I think I'd like something like that too.
*Tilith: Maybe I can find it while traveling with !
 	
*???: Well, well... Who do we have here?

*Bertz: If it isn't the Goddess Tilith and !
*Bertz: I should have expected to meet you here at some point or another.
 	
*Tilith: Umm... And you are...that Bertz guy, right?
 	
*Bertz: That is correct.
*Bertz: But for a goddess to trouble herself remembering my name, I must say it is an honor.
*Bertz: It would seem...Seria is not with you today?
 	
*Bertz: How very unfortunate.
 	
*Bertz: However, in her stead I see...a familiar face.
 	
*Reda: Tsch...
 	
*Bertz: How have you been, Reda?
 	
*Bertz: That's no way to treat an old friend now, is it?
 	
*Reda: How else do you expect me to react to your face?
 	
*Tilith: Wait, you guys know each other?
 	
*Bertz: We do indeed. We are not as friendly as I am with Lugina, but friendly enough.
*Bertz: We worked together not too long ago.
 	
*Reda: Friendly...? That's rich.
 	
*Reda: I have nothing to say to you.
*Reda: Besides, you do realize we're enemies now, don't you?
 	
*Bertz: I'm afraid you're right...
*Bertz: But it would seem there's no point in trying to reason with you. Which is a shame after this lovely reunion.
 	
*Bertz: I guess I have no choice but to leave you be for now.
*Bertz: After all, both you and I...
*Bertz: ...have very important matters to take care of while we're here.
 	
*Reda: You... How much have you and your people found out about this world?!
 	
*Bertz: Oh? Suddenly feeling chatty, are we?
*Bertz: Unfortunately for you, there is no reason, or need, for you to know that.
 	
*Reda: Grr...
 	
*Bertz: Lady Tilith, ...
*Bertz: ...please excuse me.
*Bertz: I must be on my way now...
 	
*Reda: I knew it... They're already making their move!
*Reda: We have to hurry!
 	
*Tilith: Reda, do you really know that guy?
 	
*Reda: ...yes.
*Reda: We...have a bit of history together.
 	
*Reda: But you listen to me now. Don't believe a word he says!
*Reda: The more you listen, the more he reels you in.
*Reda: The best thing to do is just ignore him!
 	
*Tilith: Interesting... Lugi said pretty much the exact same thing.
 	
*Reda: ...doesn't surprise me.
*Reda: His history with Bertz is way longer than mine.
 	
*Reda: C'mon, we have to hurry!
*Reda: We can't let him... No, we can't let the Abel Faction get ahead of us!
