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, Nozomi, and Isabeau are both well-acquainted with Shesha...

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

What do you think Nozomi, Isabeau?

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 and Isabeau 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 Hans and Isabeau gonna do then?

I would like to take a different path from everyone else. Would you mind?

A certain presence has caught my attention elsewhere.

Another presence... Well, I can see the possibility of that as well, yes.

Very well then. I would like you to look into that for us my dear.

Hans, you make sure to stay with Isabeau at all times.

I don't like this presence she mentioned either.

Having Hans by my side would be a great help.

You remind me of Flynn for some reason.

It's as if I'm watching his younger, more ignorant self trifle with fate once again.

Would you mind keeping me company?

Hans! Haven't I told you plenty of times already?!

Don't go running off with strange girls!

Tilith?! What on earth are you doing here?!

Well, Lord Lucius sent me to investigate a strange power he felt from another world.

Umm, Seria...who is this person?

Oh, this is Tilith. A friend of mine.

She's also the goddess that serves Lord Lucius.

What?!

I'm the pretty goddess Tilith! Nice to meet you all!

P-Pleasure...

But more importantly...you!

What's your name?

I am Isabeau.

Well Isabeau, I'm going with you too! You got that?

Ce-Certainly. I don't mind in the slightest.

Good!

All right then, let's get going you two!

See the rest of you later!

P-Please wait!

Karl...are we just gonna let that happen?

I-I'm sure it will be fine.

Hans's with them, so...

I do feel bad for Isabeau though...

S-Seria... Was that person really a goddess?

Yep. Afraid so.

This world is really different from ours. Things seem a little out of hand...

Don't feel bad for us... It's only gonna make it worse...
