......

Fadahl, is something wrong?

I must apologize to you, Claire...

...for selfishly including you in this team.

Why would that concern you?

You made the right decision.

When you take into account our battle abilities, this seems like the most logical division to make.

I see. It makes me happy to hear you say that.

......

......

But, I'm going to ask just one more time. Do you still...?

I said it's fine!

Sis?

I'm sorry.

......

It's not bothering me anymore. I'm fine.

Diana!

Huh?!

W-Wait!

*Huff* *huff* *huff...*

What's the matter, Claire? What did you hurry here for?

I thought you'd have already gone with Fadahl and the others.

I-I did, but...there's something...I want to tell you...

To tell...me?

......

......

......

Please take care of him.

Huh? Claire? What are you talking about?

Claire...

I have to go with Colt. He's my beloved younger brother, and that's all I should concern myself with...

But I...

Say any more and I'll get angry.

Claire... I'm sorry...

How did you know...?

I have to go.

If what I've said here means nothing to you, then I guess that's just the type of person you are.

When I return to this realm, I will do what I must.

I...

It'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.

That's right. I'm sure it'll be fine.

So let's finish our mission, and hurry back to where they are.

He he, you're right. Thanks, Fadahl.

There's nothing to thank me for.

If anything, I'm used to looking after that idiot.

You don't have it easy either, do you?

......

Don't worry, Colt. I'm a proud Guardian.

If I wasn't devoted to our mission heart and soul, there's no way I'd be here today.

I'll see this mission through to the end!

......

I am the War Demon Shusui.

I have come to test your might. I have no time for...pathetic weaklings!!

Hmph, this guy again!

He really is a pain in the neck! I bet he makes enemies of everyone he meets!

You can say that again!

If he wants to fight someone as friendless as he is, I'm sure Quaid would be more than enough.

He he, true.

Colt, Fadahl, look out! Here he comes!
