*Mordlim: ...... So I have been defeated? And at the hands of humans...
*Mordlim: No... What defeated me was not the mere power of humans.
*Mordlim: That clever Mora, along with some other power...
*Mordlim: The gods... No... These are...humans?
*Mordlim: ...... It seems I have forgotten about another human characteristic.
*Mordlim: You humans. Remember this...
*Mordlim: It was not you who destroyed me...
*Mordlim: It was my ignorance and weakness which led to my doom.
*Mordlim: Because one who controls the entirety of Rakshult like myself should not have been destroyed by humans and the like.

*Paris: ! Are you all right?
 	
*Paris: Phew. Well, it looks like everything was wrapped up safely here.
*Paris: Just what I'd expect from you, . You were a big help.
 	
*Paris: After we last saw each other, things were a bit difficult...
*Paris: Lord Owen did take out all the enemies at once, but after that, reinforcements arrived...
*Paris: Finally there was such a great number of enemies, we decided to spread out and move on.
 	
*Paris: I realized it later, but...
*Paris: ...whenever enemies were defeated, even more would appear the next time.
 	
*Paris: I was dodging enemies on my way here, and there weren't that many, but...
*Paris: ...Lord Owen and everyone got into that terrible position, and...
 	
*???: *Boooooom!*
*???: Ahhh!
 	
*Paris: ...... Speak of the devil.
 	
*Seria: *Cough* *cough*
 	
*Seria: Lord Owen, if you defeat the enemies, it will only bring more reinforcements!
 	
*Owen: That matters not. If more come, that is more for me to destroy.
 	
*Seria: Considering I'm here with you, won't you think about me for a second?!
 	
*Paris: Seria, are you okay?
 	
*Seria: Paris! And , too!
 	
*Seria: Phew, it looks like the demon was defeated somehow.
 	
*Seria: , I've got to hand it to you.
 	
*Owen: Hm, Seria... If you had not interfered, we would have made it here faster.
 	
*Seria: If I hadn't been there, even more enemies would have appeared!
 	
*Paris: Hey, Seria, so why are you with Lord Owen?
 	
*Seria: After what happened, the road I was on became swarmed with enemies...
*Seria: As I was wondering what was going on, Lord Owen was suddenly there by my side...
*Seria: Then, we came together in order to avoid more damage being done.
 	
*Paris: A-Ah, I see... Good work...
 	
*Paris: Well, where's Lugina?
 	
*Seria: Haven't seen him. I guess he hasn't come yet?
 	
*Paris: Yes, I figured he would have noticed this trap, and thus would have arrived beforehand...
 	
*Seria: Did he maybe run into a strange enemy again?
*Seria: He's, well, he might not be a dummy, but he does get wrapped up in some strange things.
 	
*???: Hahahaha. Everyone seems to know him quite well.
*???: As an old friend, I am quite happy.
 	
*Paris: Who's there?!

*Spectacled Man: It is a pleasure to meet you all.
*Spectacled Man: I am Bertz of the Elgaia Federation.
 	
*Paris: The Elgaia Federation?! Why is someone from the Federation here?
 	
*Bertz: Ishgria belongs to no one. Surely there is no problem in my being here, yes?
*Bertz: Also, there are quite a variety of ways to come here.
*Bertz: Ah, yes. Lord Owen, the First Summoner.
 	
*Owen: ......
 	
*Seria: Well, what does a person from the Federation need of us?
 	
*Bertz: Hahahaha. You're just as nice as I have heard.
*Bertz: Summoner Seria.
*Bertz: And you are even more beautiful than the stories say.
 	
*Seria: Wh-What are you talking about?!
 	
*Bertz: You're even beautiful when you're blushing.
*Bertz: What's more, Paris over there is quite the lovely lady.
*Bertz: I am quite jealous of my old friend.
 	
*Paris: Bertz, was it?
*Paris: Don't waste time with pointless talk.
*Paris: We...
 	
*Bertz: Yes, of course I understand.
*Bertz: I, of course, have no intention to anger Lord Owen.
*Bertz: But I must say, you certainly met my expectations, Miss Paris.
*Bertz: Your speech is quite in tune with what one would expect from a member of nobility.
 	
*Paris: ......
 	
*Bertz: I have only come to meet with my dear old friend, but it appears he has not yet arrived.
*Bertz: Well then, perhaps we can have a little chat until he does.
*Bertz: We could even talk about the establishment of the Akras Summoners' Hall.
 	
*???: What I would prefer, is to ask you why you know anything of that.
 	
*Paris: Lord Grahdens!
 	
*Bertz: Ah, now if it isn't Lord Grahdens.
*Bertz: I thought I had escaped you, but I should have known better than that.
 	
*Grahdens: Hm, so you had no intention of hiding your following me.
 	
*Grahdens: Well then, I shall be straightforward with my questions.
*Grahdens: It was you, yes?
*Grahdens: You are the one that fed Mirfah and Shusui that nonsense.
 	
*Bertz: Yes, that's correct.
*Bertz: I only spoke the truth, but was there something wrong with what I said?
 	
*Grahdens: No, there is no problem.
*Grahdens: Only, I had wished they would have heard it from me.
 	
*Bertz: Hahaha! Oh, Lord Grahdens, you're just as I expected.
*Bertz: And far more interesting than I had heard.
*Bertz: Some other time I'd like to sit down with you and have a nice, long chat.
 	
*Grahdens: I have no interest in tedious talk.
 	
*Grahdens: Bertz, a high ranking diplomat of the Elgaia Federation, as well as a master of La Veda fencing.
*Grahdens: Or should I refer to you by your other name, "Klauser"?
 	
*Paris: Mr. "Klauser" seems to wrap things up advantageously for himself, no what matter the situation...
 	
*Seria: I've heard that, too.
*Seria: That, along with rumors of how incredibly pushy he is.
 	
*Bertz: I am truly honored that you have heard anything at all about me.
*Bertz: However, I am nothing compared to you, who has overthrown Lord Lucius.
*Bertz: Please, call me Bertz.
 	
*Grahdens: ...... By the way, Owen. Do you think you could wait a bit longer?
 	
*Owen: Hm, understood.
 	
*Grahdens: And could you also take your hand away from your sword, perhaps?
 	
*Owen: ......
 	
*???: Darn, I can't do this!
*???: ! Where the heck are you?!
 	
*Paris: That's the voice of someone who can't tell what's going on...
 	
*Seria: Ugh...
 	
*Lugina: So you're all here!
*Lugina: ! Looks like you defeated Mordlim somehow.
 	
*Lugina: Hm, you should thank me, though.
*Lugina: I mean, you beat Mordlim because I stopped Shusui.
 	
*Seria: You fought Shusui?
 	
*Lugina: Yeah, for some reason that jerk decided to get in my way.
 	
*Lugina: But, well, Shusui wasn't my enemy anyway.
 	
*Owen: So, you defeated Shusui.
 	
*Lugina: Ah, well, not exactly. He, well, I made him run away.
 	
*Lugina: H-Hey, stop that! I didn't lose!
 	
*Bertz: Hahahaha. You haven't changed at all, Lugina.
 	
*Lugina: B-Bertz?!
*Lugina: What are you doing here?!
 	
*Bertz: Now, now, is that how you talk to a dear friend you haven't seen in ages?
 	
*Seria: Wait, you two know each other?
 	
*Bertz: Yes, we trained under the same master and are great friends.
 	
*Seria: Sorry, but you should probably pick better friends.
*Seria: Well, the both of you, I guess.
 	
*Lugina: Shut up!
*Lugina: We merely have unfortunate ties. He's no friend of mine!
 	
*Lugina: Anyway, Bertz! Answer me!
*Lugina: What are you doing here?!
 	
*Bertz: Well, Lugina, I came to see you.
 	
*Lugina: Huh?
 	
*Bertz: You can quit it with your act.
*Bertz: Your duty is complete. Come back to the Federation.
 	
*Paris: Wh-What do you mean?
 	
*Lugina: Don't be tricked by him! He's been like this forever.
 	
*Bertz: How cold.
*Bertz: There is no one who is as fond of you as I am.
 	
*Seria: What...
 	
*Lugina: I said, don't get the wrong idea!
*Lugina: ! Say something!
 	
*Bertz: Hahahaha. Fine.
*Bertz: For now, since my work is complete, I do request you allow me to take my leave.
*Bertz: I look forward to the day we all meet again.
*Bertz: Oh, and before I forget, Lugina.
*Bertz: Since your mission is complete, why not tell everyone your real name?
*Bertz: The name which proves you as the strongest of the La Veda fencers, "Zelban."
 	
*Seria: Huh?!
 	
*Lugina: Don't make me repeat myself. I don't care about inheriting that name.
 	
*Bertz: Hahahaha. Did you say that? You'll have to remind me of the details back at the Federation.
*Bertz: Well then, farewell for now.
 	
*Seria: ......
 	
*Paris: ......
 	
*Lugina: Pft, do you all really believe what he says?
 	
*Seria: Well, it all sounds about right for you.
 	
*Seria: Although, I do suppose the Zelban part was a bit surprising.
 	
*Lugina: Sigh, the names people use don't matter.
 	
*Lugina: I want to be known throughout the world as "Lugina."
 	
*Seria: Well, whatever. It doesn't really matter what you do.
*Seria: Whichever name you use, you're still going with us, right?
 	
*Lugina: Yeah, of course. I'm not done with my mission yet.
*Lugina: Isn't that right, Summoners of Old?
 	
*Grahdens: Correct. Continue working on your task.
 	
*Lugina: Of course.
 	
*Lugina: You know there isn't a more capable Summoner than me in the entire Summoners' Hall.
 	
*Lugina: ! You're also being pretty quiet.
*Lugina: Bertz showing up really makes me feel like the Federation is going to try something.
*Lugina: You're an easy target. Use your head.
 	
*Grahdens: Well then, Owen. I believe we should be going.
*Grahdens: We know Mirfah's location and the identities of those who filled his head with nonsense.
 	
*Grahdens: All that's left is for us to tell Mirfah our thoughts.
 	
*Owen: Humph, do as you please.
*Owen: I merely take the sword to those who interfere with my plans.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho. Yes, I suppose that is true.
 	
*Grahdens: ......
*Grahdens: . You look after Karl.
 	
*Grahdens: Since you're here, I will not worry about him and continue moving on.
 	
*Seria: Sigh, everything is a big mess.
 	
*Seria: ! You'd better not forget!
*Seria: Your goal is to save Tilith!
 	
*Seria: Well, I don't think you need me to say anything...
 	
*Seria: B-But whatever, you know!
*Seria: Hey, come along, Paris!
 	
*Paris: S-Seria, wait just a moment!
 	
*Paris: , I don't really have the right to tell you this, but...
*Paris: ...try not to think too much.
*Paris: As long as you keep doing what you feel, I'm sure that you will make the right choices.
*Paris: So, just keep moving forward. We'll take care of everything else.
 	
*Paris: Haha. What a wonderful look on your face.
*Paris: Just seeing that right now made joining the Akras Summoners' Hall worth it.
*Paris: Well then, on to the next location.
*Paris: Even if only to get Lady Tilith back one day sooner.
