Hans, that temple is your next destination!

The target of your mission should be waiting inside...

Hans, I've been waiting for you.

Oh, isn't that Paris?

What are you doing here?

To make a long story short, Noel advised me to come here.

Noel...asked you to come?

Did you run into any of his traps along the way?

Are you okay?

W-Well, a lot happened here and there...

Anyway, I had no idea you were in the area.

Hans, did you know?

What?! You did?!

Then you should've said something!

Umm, Paris.

Hans's target is the demon awaiting within the temple...

We would be really happy if you could help us...somehow...

Though, I guess...

...I shouldn't really be asking an Imperial Guard to waste her time on such things...

But since we've run into each other and everything...

He he he... No need to worry.

I was planning to help from the beginning.

That's why I've been waiting for you here.

I have a lot to make up to you, Hans.

So I'd be happy to help you in any way I can.

That's great news!

Having Paris help us is like having a force of 100 soldiers behind us!

Though I'm sure that with your power, you'd be able to defeat that demon on your own without any problems, Hans.

Thanks a lot, really!

Paris will be of great help, won't she, Hans?

Well, this demon has the power to read human minds.

It then proceeds to take the form of whatever scares that particular human the most, or whomever that human treasures.

It is quite a troublesome ability to deal with...

The ability to take the form of someone you treasure...?

He he. I see now.

If that's the case, that means I would have completely failed in defeating it. Just like earlier.

What's that, Paris?

Oh, it's nothing.

Well, Hans. Should we get going?

The demon is... *Buzz* This... *bzzt* And...

Huh...? *Ksshhh* But... Signal... *zzt* It's... No... *zzzzzt*

......

The strong presence coming from within the temple has gotten even stronger.

We should proceed with caution.

What's the meaning of this?!

I see.

There is no question that the opponent who has left the most impactful scars in my mind is this one.

However, I don't really feel any anxiety or fear right now...

How strange.

To think that one could feel so at ease after finding their own path.

Hans.

We cannot fall here.

Am I right?

Then that means we must defeat whatever opponent faces off against us!

Let's go! Hans!!
