It escaped...

Lord Grahdens, why did you fight?!

That demon is mine!

I have to be the one to defeat Algmos! I, and I alone!

Alone, you say?

Don't make me laugh!

How can someone who misjudges the power of her enemies so, be able to defeat a monster like that one?!

You should have been well aware that you can't defeat that demon before jumping recklessly into battle!

Grr...

B-But!

Even so, I--!!

Fool!

Do you not understand?!

Facing that cursed demon alone.

Yes, perhaps it may appease the regrets of your past.

But it won't amount to much else.

Dying alone by chasing after it would be taking the easy way out.

Seria, listen to me.

Embrace your pain. Take responsibility for your own burdens.

The dead cannot speak, and the living can do nothing for them in return either.

However, you mustn't take their deaths for granted.

Can't take their deaths for granted...?

That newcomer that was under your command five years ago...

...that Summoner really looked up to you, you know. He believed in you.

The only thing that ever came out of his mouth were words singing your high praises.

It seems to me, you regret giving that youngster a place in your squadron...

...but oddly enough...

...that Summoner worked harder than anyone else in hopes of winning your admiration and respect.

Do you think that Summoner would still admire your behavior now?

.......

It is because you have to make up for the things that happened in your past that I can't allow you to live like this.

You must live your life to the fullest in order to honor your fallen comrades.

...That applies to you, and to me as well.

.......

I understand.

Lord Grahdens, please lend me a hand.

I want to defeat Algmos.

Not because I'm still dwelling in the past, but because I want to finally put it all behind me!

Of course I will help you, Seria.

I see no reason why I shouldn't, after all.

Isn't that right, Hans?

Lord Grahdens...

Hans!

You'll have to help out too!

But I won't let you slow us down, remember that!

Ho ho ho.

She's serious, you know.

It seems like you're going to have to give it your all.
