Well, I have made up my mind now.

About what, Lord Grahdens?

About everyone's respective destinations.

We must've reached the point where Shesha's power splits into two different routes.

Precisely.

To the east we have an abandoned city, and past this mountain there is a temple.

The otherworldly power we seek has been detected from both locations.

We better split into two groups then. So, how should we divide ourselves?

Well, since Asahi and Nozomi are both well-acquainted with Shesha...

...I think they should take separate routes. Would that be all right with you two?

What do you think Nozomi?

Well, I can't say I'm absolutely thrilled with the idea, but I can see why it would be smart to go with this plan.

And I do feel like we can trust Lord Grahdens.

I'm with you there!

Ho ho ho. You are making me blush.

Next time we should definitely...

Moving on! What should the rest of us be doing then?

Karl, you...

I want to stay with Karl and Seria!

I'd like the chance to talk to them a bit more...

I mean, it's just so fascinating to me that you two...

...don't seem to really care for neither gods, nor demons.

Would that be all right?

I don't mind it.

But I really don't want to have to climb that mountain, so I'd go through the abandoned city.

I don't mind it either, but then Nozomi would...

I have no problem climbing mountains, so don't worry about it.

And I wanted to talk to Lord Grahdens some more anyway.

What?!

But Nozomi!

I didn't mean about what he has in mind!

Haha. We should probably quit the subject while we're ahead.

Anyway, what are you gonna do Hans?

Who are you gonna team up with? Asahi, or Nozomi?

A Summoner with the power to destroy the gods themselves. You are quite the interesting individual.

I'd like to pick your brain a bit more...

...about the possibilities of coexistence with the gods.

Hey! I want to talk to Hans some more too!

I want to hear more about what it takes to defeat the gods from the horse's mouth.

If that's really what Hans has been doing so far.

Ho ho ho. It would seem you're quite popular.

But tell me Hans...

Will you go with Nozomi to discuss the feasibility of coexisting with the gods...

...or with Asahi to teach her what defeating the gods truly entails?

Well?

If you wish to join Asahi, then head east to the abandoned city.

And if you wish to join Nozomi, you will have to climb up the mountain.

The choice is yours to make.
