......

So this is all you amount to!

Ahh!

Grrr...!

Hmph...

Still, for mere humans to wound me, it may be I underestimated you...

...... My only desire is to fight strong opponents.

I am looking forward to encountering you again and experiencing the thrill of battle. For now, I will let you go.

He's gone...

But, I can't help but feel he'll be back...

...... It's nothing to worry about.

Our mission isn't to defeat Shusui.

...... You're right.

Our mission is to return to Grand Gaia and protect Lord Karna Masta.

I can't help but wonder who could possibly be planning to harm Lord Karna Masta?

With the information we have now, we don't have a clue.

But, we cannot fail this mission.

We need to take care of it quickly and return here.

Fadahl and the others will be waiting on us.

Yeah, that's true.

Plus, if we're too slow, Claire might get mad at us.

......good point.

Anyway, about what you said earlier...

C-Come on, now! We need to get moving!

Hurry up now, hurry up! Let's go, Ivris!

S-Stop pushing me!

Honestly...!

Circumstances being what they are, I can't say I really want to go back...

Quaid, come on! You hurry up too!

U-Understood!

Hey, Diana. Was this really the right decision?

Huh?

Never mind. Forget I said anything.

Okay then, I'll go through first!

Quaid, do you still...?

No, you're not. I'm sure you're so worried you're beside yourself.

Claire, he really is a weird one...

...so I'll make sure we come back safely. No matter what happens...

There are still so many things I want to talk to you about, after all.
