*Libera: It looks like everyone's okay.
 	
*Kafka: Of course.
*Kafka: Everyone here is a leader of the Demon Slayers, after all.
 	
*Kafka: One of us in particular is known only for his muscles, too.
 	
*Rhoa: Shut up! I'm not known for my muscles alone!
*Rhoa: My otherworldly technology research is a lot more useful than your necromancy!
 	
*Krantz: Everyone, I'm glad you made it!
 	
*Krantz: But I wouldn't say that we're quite out of the woods yet...
 	
*Iris: It seems that all of us underestimated the world of Ishgria.
 	
*Iris: First and foremost, our mission is to...
*Iris: ...bring back information on this world, including details like that.
 	
*Krantz: In any case, just as Griff ordered...
*Krantz: ...let's head for Doomcell Wharf, where the return gate should be.
 	
*Mirfah: Will Griff...really be all right on his own?
*Mirfah: Even for someone like Griff, fighting that demon alone is...
 	
*Krantz: ......
 	
*Krantz: I can see you're worried, Mirfah.
 	
*Krantz: But you know Griff. I'm sure he'll be fine. I mean, he's the person who trained us all.
*Krantz: He's the guy who taught us "never fight when you can't win," isn't he?
*Krantz: He must think he has a chance at winning this time, too.
 	
*Rhoa: Seriously.
*Rhoa: Just once, I want a chance to see him lose.
 	
*Kafka: That's right... Griff did seem to single you out a lot, didn't he?
 	
*Rhoa: Urgh...
 	
*Libera: I'm not worried, either.
*Libera: All else aside, he's the one who taught us all how to fight.
 	
*Iris: When you think about it, I'm pretty sure the only one who could ever beat Griff, is Owen.
 	
*Krantz: Now, let's get going, Mirfah!
*Krantz: He'll catch up with us soon.
*Krantz: When he does, I don't want him scolding us with a "what are you all doing?!"
 	
*Mirfah: Yeah...you're right.
 	
*Mirfah: I understand. I'll focus on doing what I can.
 	
*Krantz: Yeah.
 	
*Libera: He he...

*Griff: That demon... He said his name was Shusui or something...
 	
*Griff: That level of strength... To be honest, it was far beyond anything I had imagined.
*Griff: So this "Ishgria" is home to a lot of demons like that...
 	
*Griff: ......
*Griff: As for the squad...they should be fine with Krantz.
*Griff: He's perceptive toward others' feelings, and will hear out anything they have to say.
*Griff: He doesn't know it himself...
*Griff: ...but he's an even more gifted leader than I am.
 	
*Griff: Heh, not that I'd ever tell him that to his face, not in a million years.
*Griff: Just to keep him from getting full of himself, I've got to survive this and give him a bit more tough love.
 	
*Griff: Now, from here I can head to either the Hogun Acid Cascades or the Lava Bridges...
*Griff: Normally, I'd head for the Hogun Acid Cascades, but...
*Griff: ...no matter where I go, that demon will definitely be waiting for me.
*Griff: It seems to have picked me as its target, just as we expected it would.
*Griff: So the best choice might be to head for the Lava Bridges, and seek a chance at life amidst certain death...
 	
*Griff: Heh... Seeking life in death. That's not like me at all.
*Griff: But I'm facing a stronger opponent than I ever have before.
*Griff: It might work in my favor to try something different for a change.
