*Bertz: Everyone...your attention please. We have a bit of a problem...
 	
*Paris: B-Bertz! What's with you, all of a sudden?!
 	
*Seria: You jerk, you've got some guts showing your face again...
 	
*Bertz: You misunderstand me. I would actually love to join you on your travels.
*Bertz: I always envied my good friend Lugina, you see.
 	
*Seria: That's not what I meant. You're just playing dumb.
 	
*Bertz: Hahaha, you get right to the point. Impressive as always, Seria.
*Bertz: Now, allow me to do the same.
*Bertz: I just had another long talk, so I'm a bit tired.
 	
*Paris: Yet another tangent...
 	
*Bertz: My apologies!
*Bertz: It seems I get talkative around beautiful women!
*Bertz: Anyway, back to the point.
*Bertz: I can't seem to find my good friend Lugina.
*Bertz: Do you guys know of anywhere he might've gone to?
 	
*Seria: Of course not.
 	
*Seria: And even if we did, we wouldn't tell you.
 	
*Bertz: Such harsh words!
*Bertz: Well, this is troublesome.
*Bertz: I thought for sure you guys would know something...
*Bertz: And it seems Seria is still mad about earlier...
*Bertz: ...... Oh, that's it!
*Bertz: How thoughtless of me.
*Bertz: I forgot to share valuable information to placate Seria!
*Bertz: The truth is, I know a huge secret about the Akras Summoners' Hall.
*Bertz: I've told Karl and Mirfah, but...
*Bertz: ...I'd very much like to tell you as well.
 	
*Seria: Is this the story about the founding of the Summoners' Hall that you started on before?
 	
*Bertz: Very good, Seria! That's exactly right!
*Bertz: Not only that, it's about the Summoners of Old's aims since its founding...more or less.
 	
*Seria: Their aims?
*Seria: Is this the part about "destroying an immense power?"
 	
*Seria: But didn't you just tell Karl that we should talk to the Summoners of Old directly?
 	
*Bertz: Ahahaha, very good, Seria! You noticed.
*Bertz: But you're curious, aren't you?
 	
*Seria: Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't, but...
 	
*Seria: ...fine.
*Seria: Hearing it now won't change our objective, anyway.
*Seria: Our objective of saving Tilith, that is.
 	
*Bertz: Um...c-could you just listen without saying that?
 	
*???: Ho ho ho, that's Seria for you.
 	
*Paris: Lord Grahdens!
 	
*Grahdens: Seems even you have trouble getting Seria to move at your pace, Klauser.
 	
*Bertz: ...what do you mean by that?
 	
*Grahdens: Exactly what it sounds like.
*Grahdens: Bertz, it seems you want to tell the story of the founding of the Summoners' Hall yourself.
 	
*Paris: Could that be in order to deceive us and give us a bad impression of it?
 	
*Grahdens: We wouldn't view him as a danger if he were the type to tell obvious lies.
 	
*Grahdens: Bertz is good at changing people's views...
*Grahdens: ...with words that target emotional vulnerabilities, even as he speaks the truth.
 	
*Bertz: You overestimate me.
*Bertz: If I could do that, I would hold a much higher rank in the Federation.
 	
*Grahdens: I think you would have a higher rank if that were what you wanted.
 	
*Bertz: ......
 	
*Seria: I don't know if what Lord Grahdens is saying is true or not...
*Seria: ...but even I can see that you're not being fully honest.
*Seria: That's why I won't believe a thing you say.
 	
*Bertz: Seria...you're more interesting than I could have imagined.
*Bertz: I can see why Lugina likes you.
*Bertz: But it would be a waste to let him have you.
*Bertz: May I place myself in the running to be your partner for life someday?
 	
*Seria: H-Have you lost your mind?!
 	
*Bertz: Oh, no chance then?
*Bertz: Could it be that your heart is already set on someone else?
*Bertz: I can't imagine it's Lugina...is it Karl?
 	
*Seria: Shut up!
*Seria: Making everything about love... Are you an idiot?!
*Seria: This isn't the time for that kind of thing!
 	
*Bertz: What a waste.
*Bertz: Don't you agree? Paris, ?
 	
*Paris: Don't bring me into it...
 	
*Bertz: Ahaha, my apologies.
*Bertz: It appears that I have worn out my welcome.
*Bertz: And so, I'll be leaving you.
*Bertz: Seria, let's continue this conversation sometime in the future.
 	
*Seria: Get out of here...you idiot!
 	
*Bertz: Ahahaha, well, everyone...until we meet again.
 	
*Seria: Good grief is he ever annoying...
*Seria: !
*Seria: You can't just zone out like that! You need to speak up!
*Seria: You dummy, acting like you don't care...
 	
*Paris: He does keep slowing down our pace.
*Paris: ...in a way, he's a tougher opponent than a demon.
 	
*Paris: By the way, Lord Grahdens, where are you headed to?
 	
*Grahdens: Ho?!
*Grahdens: Uh, actually...
*Grahdens: ...Bertz is gone, so I think my work here is done.
 	
*Paris: Do you expect us to buy that excuse?
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho, I was joking.
 	
*Grahdens: He did a lot of talking before he left.
*Grahdens: You won't be satisfied unless I explain properly, right?
*Grahdens: Besides, there's no telling when he'll come back to give you more distorted explanations.
 	
*Grahdens: So I'll explain.
*Grahdens: I will tell you the truth about the founding of the Akras Summoners' Hall.
*Grahdens: Are you all ready to hear this?
 	
*Seria: Actually, we've all been waiting for you to tell us from the start.
 	
*Paris: I think, in a way, we've been ready since we arrived here.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho, I see. And, , are you ready?
*Grahdens: ......
 	
*Grahdens: Yes, it seems you're all ready to hear it.
 	
*Grahdens: But first, let me tell you about the "immense power"...
*Grahdens: ...that we Summoners of Old seek to destroy.
*Grahdens: After you've heard that, then you can decide whether or not to hear me out.
 	
*Paris: You mean to tell us it's a dangerous topic...?
 	
*Seria: ......
 	
*Grahdens: ...listen, Summoners. I have much to tell.
*Grahdens: The "immense power" we Summoners of Old work to destroy...
Music: "A God" 	Music: "A God"
 	
*Grahdens: ...is a god sealed in this land, called the Holy Emperor Karna Masta.
 	
*Paris: To destroy Karna Masta...
 	
*Seria: ......
 	
*Grahdens: Precisely.
*Grahdens: A god that once attempted to destroy humanity, that was sealed away by Lucius.
*Grahdens: A god that stood above all others.
*Grahdens: We are working to destroy this god.
*Grahdens: Seria, Paris, and .
*Grahdens: Do you have the resolve?
*Grahdens: The resolve to face Karna Masta?
 	
*Seria: ......
*Seria: We may not have the resolve. But I want to save Tilith.
*Seria: I thought that if we eliminated the threat of the demons in this land, we could save Tilith.
*Seria: Won't that be enough?
*Seria: Can't we save Tilith without defeating Karna Masta?
 	
*Seria: If we can't, then I'll face even Karna Masta.
 	
*Grahdens: ......
 	
*Paris: If I said I felt ready, I would be lying. But I want to know the truth.
 	
*Paris: The truth about the Akras Summoners' Hall. It's where I ended up after abandoning the Empire.
*Paris: Was I deceived by the people I trusted there as well?
 	
*Paris: I want to believe that I wasn't.
*Paris: I want to believe the Summoners of Old have a good reason to fight Karna Masta.
 	
*Grahdens: ......
 	
*Grahdens: , how about you?
*Grahdens: ......
*Grahdens: Ah, it was rude of me to even ask.
*Grahdens: You have always fought tirelessly for your beliefs.
 	
*Grahdens: ......
 	
*Grahdens: Of course, I understand.
*Grahdens: I understand that this is not an easy decision, and that you are all considering it carefully.
 	
*Grahdens: If you had all readily decided to fight, here, that would worry me more.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho.
Music: "Justice"	Music: "Justice"
 	
*Paris: Lord Grahdens, were you testing us?
 	
*Grahdens: Naturally.
*Grahdens: I've always been testing all of you.
*Grahdens: In order to determine whether or not you are warriors worthy of knowing the truth, along with the Summoners of Old.
 	
*Seria: ......
 	
*Grahdens: Seria. Don't make that face, it's frightening.
 	
*Seria: I'm not making faces. This is the face I was born with.
*Seria: Anyway, please hurry up and tell us the rest.
*Seria: The reason to defeat Karna Masta, and the secret of the founding of the Akras Summoners' Hall.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho, I'm very sorry, but...
 	
*Grahdens: ...please hold on a bit longer for that tale.
*Grahdens: It's dangerous to linger here any longer.
*Grahdens: Out in the open like this...
*Grahdens: ...another demon might notice and attack us at any time.
*Grahdens: There is a run-down castle just past this ravine.
*Grahdens: I will speak with you at length there.
 	
*Seria: You mean that?
 	
*Grahdens: I do.
 	
*Grahdens: And more importantly, if we don't move soon...
*Grahdens: ...Owen might accomplish his goal in pursuing Mirfah, and join up with us.
*Grahdens: We won't be able to talk for long if that happens.
 	
*Paris: It does seem prudent to move quickly...
 	
*Paris: , let's hurry!
 	
*Paris: But don't let your guard down.
*Paris: Don't forget that we are in a land ruled by a demon.

*Amu Yunos: So the Summoners are heading for Kayohn.
*Amu Yunos: It would appear exciting things are happening around them, but have they forgotten about me?
*Amu Yunos: Well, no matter.
*Amu Yunos: Time only flows in one direction, after all.
*Amu Yunos: More to the point, this looks promising.
*Amu Yunos: By the time they get to me, they'll probably have matured even further!
*Amu Yunos: I shall just keep on waiting patiently...
*Amu Yunos: ...waiting for the humans with the potential to end my existence to finally arrive.
