*Enchanted Armor: ......
 	
*Seria: Figures, it's still there...
 	
*Tilith: Do you think it followed us here?
 	
*Seria: I don't know.
 	
*Seria: But either way, it's definitely a major annoyance.
 	
*Tilith: So, what do we do now?
 	
*Seria: Well, normally...
 	
*Seria: ...I'd say we just take the enemy on!
 	
*Seria: And while that might work in most situations...
 	
*Seria: ...I'm not so sure it would work right now, judging by our last fight.
 	
*Tilith: Hmm...if Lugi were here, he'd probably come up with a battle plan for us.
 	
*Seria: Of course he would, a crafty little snake like him is full of plans.
 	
*Seria: But enough about that jerk. There's just not enough of us to stand a chance in a fight.
*Seria: If Lord Grahdens had come with us, I'm sure things would be different, though.
 	
*???: ...!
 	
*Tilith: Huh? Hey, Seria? Did you say something?
 	
*Seria: Hm? No, I didn't say anything.
 	
*Tilith: No? Am I hearing things?
 	
*???: , Tilith! Come here!
 	
*Tilith: ...!
*Tilith: You heard that too, right, ?
 	
*Tilith: That voice...
 	
*Seria: What's the matter, Tilith?
 	
*Tilith: Seria, come with us!
 	
*Seria: Huh? Wh-What's going on?!
 	
*Reda: ......
 	
*Tilith: I knew it! There you are, Reda!
 	
*Reda: You two haven't changed a bit, have you?
 	
*Tilith: You bet! and I are totally the same as ever!
 	
*Seria: Wait... Are you sure that's the response you want to go with?
 	
*Seria: So, um... We haven't met, so I guess I should say it's nice to meet you.
 	
*Reda: My pleasure.
*Reda: You're Commander Seria, right? Of the 19th Demon Slayers Division, the Bloody Roses.
 	
*Seria: You've heard of me? As I should have expected, Lord Grahdens's direct subordinates are very well-informed.
*Seria: I've heard of you, too.
*Seria: You are...Reda, right? Scarlet Wanderer Reda, was it?
 	
*Reda: Please, not that nickname. It's so embarrassing...
*Reda: Just Reda is fine.
 	
*Seria: O-Okay, got it.
 	
*Tilith: Elder Grah told us that you were in this world. I'm glad we got to meet up after all!
 	
*Seria: Has that enchanted armor been giving you trouble, too?
 	
*Reda: Yes, more or less.
*Reda: ...I'm not the only one, though.
 	
*???: It took you a whole five minutes and 32 seconds to get here from the time we called you.
*???: You people from the Summoners' Hall really are pretty slow on the uptake.

*Mel: ......
 	
*Tilith: Hey, I know you guys!
 	
*Tilith: Uhh...you're with the Abel Faction, right?
 	
*Reda: Yes.
 	
*Seria: The Abel Faction!
 	
*Seria: Wait, isn't that the name of the group that opposes the Summoners' Hall?
*Seria: Are you saying they're members of that Faction?!
 	
*Reda: ......
 	
*Garrett: Indeed, we belong to the Abel Faction.
*Garrett: We are enemies of the Akras Summoners' Hall, and of yours.
*Garrett: Even so, do not worry. This isn't the time to be fighting with the likes of you.
 	
*Tilith: What does that mean?
 	
*Garrett: It means exactly what you might assume, that stone doll has been giving us trouble as well, naturally.
 	
*Mel: ......
 	
*Reda: I...uh, no, I mean we were waiting on you guys.
*Reda: To be precise, we were waiting to get the manpower to take down that enchanted armor quickly.
 	
*Reda: If you've fought that enchanted armor too, then you know how strong it is, right?
 	
*Seria: Err, yes, I guess we do.
*Seria: I hate to admit it, but it was a pretty tough fight.
 	
*Reda: In that case, how much help would it be to have just me join you?
 	
*Tilith: Well, it would still be a pretty tough fight, I guess.
 	
*Seria: I'm not saying we couldn't win...
*Seria: ...but it wouldn't make the fight any less of a struggle.
 	
*Seria: When you consider the enchanted armor's incredible firepower, and the need to keep our injuries to a minimum...
*Seria: ...the most we'd end up doing is getting into a long, drawn-out battle, where we chip away at the enemy slowly.
 	
*Reda: You're right.
*Reda: With just the Summoners' Hall members we have here...
*Reda: ...much as I hate to say it, we could never finish off the enchanted armor very quickly.
 	
*Seria: ......
 	
*Reda: But the same could also be said for these two from the Abel Faction.
 	
*Garrett: ...though it pains me to do so, I must agree.
 	
*Seria: I see. I think I get the general picture now.
 	
*Seria: Basically we're declaring a temporary truce, fighting together, and taking down that enchanted armor?
 	
*Reda: Yes, that's right.
 	
*Garrett: Our master, Lord Rahnas, has gone on ahead. We need to catch up with him as swiftly as possible.
 	
*Garrett: Not to mention, I'm sure you are not willing to stand by and allow us to remain ahead in the search for the Sealed God?
 	
*Seria: You've got that right.
 	
*Tilith: Hey, did he just say that their master has gone ahead?
 	
*Reda: Unfortunately, he was telling the truth.
*Reda: That's why every second counts for us, and for them.
 	
*Mel: ......
 	
*Garrett: Hehehehe...
*Garrett: Surely even someone as dense as you lot understand now.
*Garrett: We are undeniably enemies...
*Garrett: ...but right now, it's imperative we fight on the same side.
 	
*Tilith: ...
 	
*Tilith: This guy's...kinda...
 	
*Seria: I know what you mean, he really gets on my nerves.
 	
*Reda: I understand how you both feel, but please try to bear with it for now.
 	
*Seria: Sure, fine. Count me in for this battle.
 	
*Tilith: Yeah. We need to get moving soon.
 	
*Seria: , you don't have any complaints, do you?
*Seria: It looks like we're good. Not that we have a choice, mind you.
 	
*Seria: With that settled, let's get this fight started and deal with that enchanted armor!
 	
*Tilith: Do you have a plan?
 	
*Reda: Yes. We'll split into three teams of two...
*Reda: ...and close in once we've surrounded the enchanted armor.
 	
*Tilith: And then we all attack at once, right?
 	
*Reda: Exactly.
 	
*Garrett: We have no objections, either.
*Garrett: A crude plan like that will likely be more effective against such a mindless oaf.
 	
*Mel: I...concur.
 	
*Seria: So, what are the teams?
 	
*Reda: ...I'll go with the monocle guy over there.
 	
*Garrett: Oh? Isn't this a surprise?
 	
*Reda: I don't intend to let you two work together.
*Reda: You get my meaning, I assume?
 	
*Garrett: If you insist, so be it.
*Garrett: In that case, my companion, Mel, will work with...
*Garrett: ...the Summoner .
*Garrett: This is a splendid opportunity to explore the true power of the Summoner that defeated...
*Garrett: ...both the Sealed God Lucius and the Holy Emperor Karna Masta.
 	
*Mel: ......
 	
*Reda: Sure.
 	
*Seria: Guess that leaves me and Tilith together.
 	
*Tilith: Well, if I'm honest, I would've preferred to work with ...
 	
*Reda: Tilith, I need you to work with us on this.
 	
*Tilith: Yeah, I know.
 	
*Seria: All right, let's get moving! Tilith, follow me.
 	
*Tilith: Hey, wait!
 	
*Tilith: Well, see you later, !
 	
*Garrett: Even if you are not our equal, I hope to see a decent performance from you today.
 	
*Reda: ......
 	
*Mel: ...Commencing...mission...
