*The Bariura Empire, a military regime located in central Grand Gaia. The Empire was both an absolute monarchy and a great military power. It dominated numerous vassal states for many years, and enjoyed boundless prosperity.
*However, the Empire would ultimately incite the anger of the gods through research it had been conducting in secret.And in doing so, they would set off the great war between humanity and the gods...
*As it is widely believed to have caused the great war, the Bariura Empire was subject to a particularly intense offensive by the God Army. The Empire's dependent states began to collapse one after the other. With the Imperial capital completely surrounded by the God Army, the nation was at death's door.
*As these grim events unfolded, Crown Princess Selvia of the Bariura Empire summoned her younger brother, Crown Prince Sirius, to the palace.

*Selvia: I see, so they've breached the west gate.
 	
*Sirius: The God Army is already inside the city.
 	
*Sirius: The troops are pushing back, but the civilian casualties...
 	
*Selvia: If the enemy has made it through the wall, such casualties are inevitable.
 	
*Sirius: ...... We've also detected additional enemy reinforcements on their way.
 	
*Selvia: So they're not easing off their offensive... That much is clear.
 	
*Selvia: But, of course they wouldn't. I would do the same in their place.
 	
*Sirius: ......
 	
*Selvia: Given the circumstances, you know why I called you here, don't you, Sirius?
 	
*Sirius: W-Well...
 	
*Selvia: Now that it's come to this, we of the Bariura Imperial line have no other choice.
 	
*Selvia: You know that as well as I do!
 	
*Sirius: ......
 	
*Sirius: ...!
 	
*Selvia: So, the God Army is launching another wave of attacks.
 	
*Sirius: ......
 	
*Sirius: Selvia, I'm going back to my post at the main gate.
*Sirius: The soldiers there are waiting for me. They're counting on me.
 	
*Selvia: So you haven't made up your mind, is that it?
*Selvia: Hmm... Fine. I'll grant you some time.
 	
*Selvia: But I won't wait forever.
*Selvia: Make up your mind before you come to see me again.
 	
*Sirius: V-Very well...
 	
*???: Sirius takes entirely too long to make decisions.
 	
*Selvia: Feleen, you've returned.
 	
*Feleen: Feleen, seventh-born princess of Bariura, reporting back.
 	
*Selvia: Excellent...
 	
*Selvia: So, how did it go?
 	
*Feleen: We discovered a definite dimensional distortion at the location in Melina's report.
 	
*Feleen: I believe the information is accurate.
 	
*Selvia: I see.
 	
*Feleen: That said, I find it hard to believe that...
*Feleen: ...even now, Sirius still can't make up his mind!
 	
*Feleen: Even though traveling to another world is the only way to save Bariura now...
 	
*Selvia: Feleen!
 	
*Selvia: That's enough. You do understand why, I presume?
 	
*Feleen: Y-Yes, Selvia! I'm so sorry!
 	
*Selvia: ......
*Selvia: Sirius was a given, but Sareas, Dure, Radia, Berdette...
*Selvia: ...and even Alice and Elza, have gone off on a plan to infiltrate the enemy at the frontlines...
*Selvia: Everyone is doing splendidly.
*Selvia: But even so, it's only a matter of time.
 	
*Selvia: And that is precisely why we must...

*Sirius: Selvia, my sister, I understand what you're saying... Or rather, what father wishes to do.
*Sirius: And that as a member of the Imperial line, I must obey his wishes for the sake of the Empire's survival.
 	
*Sirius: But I...
 	
*???: Sirius!
 	
*Sirius: Myuze! What are you doing here?!
 	
*Myuze: What am I doing here?
 	
*Myuze: Everyone is doing their part out there.
*Myuze: As the fourth-born Imperial Princess, I can't just sit back and watch!
 	
*Myuze: I can use some healing magic, so I've been helping the wounded troops and civilians.
 	
*Sirius: Don't be a fool! Get inside the palace!!
 	
*Myuze: What?!
 	
*Sirius: I understand how you feel, that you want to be of service to us all.
 	
*Sirius: But the fighting is vicious right now, with the God Army closing in.
 	
*Sirius: I won't be able to keep you safe, and you're very vulnerable.
 	
*Myuze: But that's... I didn't expect you to...
 	
*Sirius: Grr... They're advancing again?! We've got to strike back from the main gate!
 	
*Sirius: Listen, Myuze. Get inside the palace at once.
*Sirius: Leave both the civilians and the enemies to us!
 	
*Myuze: ......
*Myuze: I understand what you meant, Sirius.
*Myuze: And you've always been so kind to me, when I was so frail.
*Myuze: But...
 	
*Myuze: But I can't be the only one sitting there safe in the castle, doing nothing!
 	
*Myuze: Sirius, I'm sorry...
