*Loch: Lady Edea! The God Army has begun to mobilize.
 	
*Dean: It looks like Palmyna's Army really pulled it off somehow.
 	
*Lorand: ......
*Lorand: The path to Cardes has finally been cleared.
 	
*Edea: Let's go.
*Edea: Those men did their best to clear the way for us, and we cannot let them down.
 	
*Edea: ......
*Edea: Sir Lorand, Dean, Loch...
*Edea: Thank you so much for everything thus far.
 	
*Dean: What's up with that all of the sudden?
*Dean: You're not gonna tell us you wanna fight Cardes alone now, are ya?
 	
*Edea: No, that's not it.
*Edea: But the battle that awaits us...
*Edea: I'm afraid we don't know if we will return unscathed.
*Edea: Thus, I wanted to thank you at least once beforehand.
*Edea: Thank you so much for lending me your powers.
 	
*Loch: ......
 	
*Loch: Please stop, Lady Edea.
*Loch: If anyone has to show their gratitude for everything, it is us.
*Loch: It is because you led us here...
*Loch: ...that we will be able to put a stop to the menace that Cardes represents as soon as possible.
 	
*Loch: And defeating Cardes is not your purpose alone.
*Loch: Our purpose is the same as well.
 	
*Dean: Darn right.
 	
*Lorand: Yes, very much so.
 	
*Dean: So Loch, you do say something good now and then, don't ya?
 	
*Loch: What did you say?!
 	
*Edea: Everyone...thank you...
 	
*Loch: It is much too early to be thanking us.
*Loch: The real battle is about to commence.
 	
*Lorand: Lady Edea, Loch is right.
*Lorand: The enemy we will face holds terrible power.
*Lorand: It is not an enemy that people can hope to defeat.
*Lorand: However, our only choice is victory.
*Lorand: We must not fail in saving the people of this world.
 	
*Loch: Lady Edea, everything will be all right.
*Loch: I will defeat our enemies with just one shot, you'll see!
*Loch: Regardless of whether that target is a god or not.
 	
*Dean: Loch, are you really gonna be all right?
 	
*Loch: But of course!
*Loch: I have honed my skills all my life to be of use to Lady Edea!
 	
*Dean: Ha ha. You never change.
 	
*Dean: ......
*Dean: Well...
*Dean: I shouldn't worry myself with whether or not I'll be fighting a god either.
*Dean: But it does looks like today I'm gonna have to get a bit more serious than usual.
*Dean: ......
*Dean: Loch, your sniping skill really is amazing.
*Dean: But it takes too long for you to gather all the power you need to use it, so it's not practical in battle.
 	
*Loch: What?!
 	
*Dean: That's why I'll cover you.
*Dean: I'll cover you until you can snipe the target.
 	
*Loch: ......
 	
*Dean: You are our ace in this battle.
*Dean: We'll beat Cardes with a single shot from your bow.
 	
*Loch: B-Be quiet!
*Loch: I don't need to hear that from you!
*Loch: I already know I will be the one to defeat Cardes!
*Loch: In Lady Edea's name!
 	
*Edea: He he he.
*Edea: Loch, you're so reliable.
 	
*Loch: Please leave it to me!
 	
*Lorand: It would seem you two have begun to resemble real soldiers.
 	
*Dean: Oh! Some words of thanks from gramps again?
 	
*Loch: Please do keep it short. I don't want to exhaust all of my energy before the actual battle begins.
 	
*Lorand: ...... I take back what I said!
*Lorand: You two are as immature as ever!
*Lorand: Lady Edea, these cretins do not need your gratitude. It will only go straight to their heads!
 	
*Edea: Ha ha. Perhaps you are right. It may be too early to give my thanks just yet.
 	
*Edea: Therefore, we must all survive this battle.
*Edea: So that when we have all returned home, I can thank you anew.
 	
*Loch: Very well.
 	
*Dean: All right.
 	
*Lorand: Quite.
 	
*Edea: Well, let's be on our way.
*Edea: Forth, to defeat Cardes!!
