## Transcript

### Before Stage Start

**Forcas:** There's something I want to ask you.

**Longinus:** ...Go ahead. What is it?

**Forcas:** Today's battle...

**Forcas:** You were on the front line, and yet your attack was delayed. Why was that?

**Longinus:** Um, that...

**Forcas:** Sometimes we suffer casualties because of your slow decisions.

**Longinus:** Um, yes...

**Longinus:** It's because...well...I try to avoid unnecessary fights...

**Forcas:** ...Unnecessary?

**Longinus:** Uh, I don't mean today's fight was unnecessary or anything...

**Forcas:** Today's fight was about saving civilians, and yet you...

**Longinus:** No, sorry, that's not it! I'm just a coward...

**Forcas:** I never did like you...

**Longinus:** Huh?

**Forcas:** You're so pure, and possess so much power that they call you the "holy lance"...and yet you never seem to have any confidence...

**Forcas:** And here I am, born as a demonic lance. I despise you.

**Longinus:** You can't possibly...

**Forcas:** I've tried to swallow my pride recently, but...Longinus...

**Forcas:** ...seeing you always turns me back into a demon!

*Forcas holds her demonic lance in the attack position with a grim look on her face.*

**Forcas:** The holy and the demonic... This battle will prove which is the better lance once and for all!

**Longinus:** Forcas, stop!

### Before Boss Battle

**Forcas:** You're too soft. It's time someone whipped you into shape!

**Forcas:** Your power is useless. I'll defend our commander!

*\*Clang\**

**Longinus:** Argh!

*Longinus somehow fends off Forcas's lance.*

**Longinus:** Forcas, you...

**Longinus:** You're not a demonic lance.

**Forcas:** ...Huh?

**Longinus:** Please become the lance of a goddess...and save our commander.

**Forcas:** ...!

**Forcas:** You want me to defend our commander?

**Longinus:** ...Yes.

**Forcas:** Trying to shirk your duty as a Killer Princess, and asking someone else to do it instead...

**Forcas:** ...is proof of how soft you are!

**Longinus:** I...

**Forcas:** No more talk!

*Forcas flew into a rage, attacking Longinus with her demonic lance.*

### After Stage Clear

**Longinus:** \*Pant\*

**Forcas:** Why do you act this way? You have so much power! Oof!

*Longinus strikes at Forcas, forcing her to her knees.*

**Forcas:** As strong as you are, why do you ask another Princess to protect our commander?

**Forcas:** Even if you won't do it...I'll defend our commander no matter what!

**Longinus:** I'm bad at fighting, so if someone else will defend our commander...

**Longinus:** ...it's for the best.

**Longinus:** It doesn't matter who does it. As long as our commander is safe, that's all that matters. That's all I care about.

**Forcas:** What?! You're...

**Forcas:** Heh... I said the phrase "demonic lance" a lot, but...the ugliness in me wasn't the Killium...

**Forcas:** ...it was my heart.

**Forcas:** That's where the demon took up residence.

**Longinus:** No, that's not...

**Forcas:** But when my hideous demonic lance struck your holy lance, something clicked.

**Forcas:** I was wrong to disrespect you in that way! Please forgive me!

**Longinus:** Just...stop...

**Forcas:** You deserve to be called the "holy lance," after all.

**Forcas:** You're both kind and honorable.

**Longinus:** Please, just stop! I'm none of those things!

*Longinus turns red with embarrassment--a far cry from the radiant look on Forcas's face as she continues to show her respect.*

*The reconciliation between holy and demonic lances had ended in a farcical yet heartwarming scene.*
