*Tilith: ......
 	
*Tilith: Whew... I was kind of shocked when Elder Grah first told me about our current mission.

*Grahdens: ...and that's the mission, .
*Grahdens: I want to ask you to handle the elimination of the last Abel Faction holdouts: Garrett and Mel.
 	
*Tilith: But that's... Even with everything that's happened, how can you order us to just kill those two?!
 	
*Grahdens: This will benefit all of Elgaia. Please believe me, Tilith.
 	
*Tilith: I don't understand how that can be... I don't get it at all!
 	
*Tilith: First of all, there's no way that would agree to that kind of thing!
 	
*Grahdens: Regardless, this order is subject to the highest tier of secrecy present within the Summoners' Hall.
*Grahdens: Should refuse, we will have to...
*Grahdens: Well...a punishment equal in secrecy will be required, to prevent the information from being leaked.
 	
*Tilith: That's horrible...
 	
*Grahdens: Well, ? Knowing this, will you choose to refuse this mission?
 	
*Grahdens: I see... Just as I anticipated, you still refuse to accept.
*Grahdens: You are attempting to make a statement, that this order is misconceived.

*Grahdens: And you are entirely correct.
 	
*Tilith: Huh? Elder Grah?
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho! Relax. I never intended to give you a mission like that.
 	
*Tilith: Wait...were you testing , then?
 	
*Grahdens: I suppose you could say that. Now, now, don't get angry...
 	
*Tilith: So, was the part about Warlon made up, too?
 	
*Grahdens: No, that was the truth.
*Grahdens: He genuinely aims to put an end to those two Abel Faction agents.
 	
*Grahdens: Still, I would not blame you for ignoring his wishes.
 	
*Tilith: Huh?
 	
*Grahdens: Just as Warlon said, we in the Summoners' Hall must join hands with the Federation and the Empire...
*Grahdens: ...to face the future united. I agree with him in that respect.
 	
*Grahdens: I also agree that this is the perfect opportunity.
 	
*Grahdens: But it is unacceptable to build relationships through spilt blood.
*Grahdens: Relationships built on bloodshed eventually corrupt everyone involved.
*Grahdens: Even if things went well at the outset, such an endeavor would falter all too quickly.

*Grahdens: With that in mind, , I have a new mission for you.
*Grahdens: You are to make contact with the agents of the Abel Faction, and ensure that they escape somewhere beyond the Federation's reach.
*Grahdens: All the better if you can draw them into joining the Summoners' Hall.
 	
*Grahdens: Also, give Bertz this letter.
 	
*Tilith: What is this?
 	
*Grahdens: Both Owen and I have signed it. He should understand our aims once he reads it.
 	
*Grahdens: Once he understands, then Bertz should be able to take care of the rest. He's the man known as Klauser, after all.
*Grahdens: We expect he should be able to handle the Federation government.
 	
*Tilith: ...... Okay, got it. We just need to give him this letter.
 	
*Grahdens: Before I forget, there was one person who found out about this mission early on, and volunteered.
*Grahdens: They're already en route to St. Creek, which is within Federation territory.
*Grahdens: Please work together on this.
 	
*Tilith: Oh? Who is it?
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho, you'll find out soon enough, I'd say!
 	
*Grahdens: Also, St. Creek is currently experiencing a disruption in summoning power.
*Grahdens: Although the cause is unknown, the disruption is similar to those on other worlds in recent years.
 	
*Grahdens: I am certain it won't be an issue for the group that defeated Alza Masta...
*Grahdens: ...but take care, all the same.
 	
*Tilith: Got it. Hear that, ? Let's get going!
 	
*Grahdens: , I suspected you would reject the first order...
 	
*Grahdens: ...but even so, I must say I'm glad you did.
 	
*Grahdens: Now, it seems that we can also...
 	
*Grahdens: ...no, never mind that. Good luck on the mission.

*Tilith: That sure wasn't a pleasant conversation.
 	
*Tilith: But it seems like Elder Grah will work things out for us, so that's reassuring.
 	
*Tilith: But don't let it get to you! We've got to do our best, for Bertz, too!
 	
*Tilith: Oh, and what about that other person we're supposed to work with?
*Tilith: Elder Grah said we'll "find out soon enough," but...
 	
*???: Should've known Grahdens and the other old coots would send you two.
 	
*Tilith: Huh? Lugi?! You're the one who volunteered for this before us?!
 	
*Tilith: Wow...
 	
*Lugina: Why are you making that face? Got something to say?
 	
*Tilith: Oh, nothing. Just, it's not like you to volunteer...that's all.
*Tilith: I guess it just shows that you'd never abandon your dear friends in a dangerous situation, huh!
 	
*Lugina: Wha... Sh-Shut up!
 	
*Lugina: I'm just here to look down on the worthless ingrate who vanished without a word, after I so graciously saved their life!
 	
*Tilith: Oh, of course. I totally knew that was it!
 	
*Lugina: Why, you...
 	
*Tilith: ...I was trying to mimic your chemistry with Seria, Lugi!
*Tilith: Did I make you mad?
 	
*Lugina: Tsch...
 	
*Lugina: Forget about it. I have something from Owen.
 	
*Tilith: Something from Owen?
 	
*Lugina: Yeah, he gave me this sword...
*Lugina: ...for whoever I rendezvous with on the mission. So, I guess it's for you, .
 	
*Tilith: This sword...is incredible. I can sense that it resonates with a lot of power.
 	
*Lugina: That old jerk went to the trouble of sending it with me.
*Lugina: It's probably pretty impressive, even among all the stuff they keep in the Summoners' Hall weaponry vaults.
 	
*Tilith: , you'll have to live up to little Owen's expectations!
 	
*Lugina: I've passed that on, so let's get moving. We don't have time to waste with idle talk.
 	
*Tilith: Hey, wait up, Lugi!
