Grh... That roar, and these tremors can only mean...

That demonic beast has come after us again...

Looks like we have to fight it off.

...those devices over there...

Which must mean that further in...

......

Hey, Krantz! Take everyone with you and go on ahead!

I'll face the demonic beast.

Wh-What are you saying?!

I...I can't do that!

He's right! If anyone's going to fight it, we should fight it together!

Don't get the wrong idea.

I think I know a way to drive it off using the devices in the ruins over there!

So I'm telling you, go on ahead for now!

But if it goes the way I'm planning, you'll just get in the way if you're too close.

B-But...

You have a better idea? You're hopeless with machines! Are you going to help me control them?

W-Well...maybe I can't, but...

Exactly.

But...we could at least act as a diversion...

I appreciate the sentiment, but you don't need to. Honestly, even that would just get in the way.

......

*Sigh* Guess we have no choice.

Krantz, there's no point in saying any more.

He's not the type to listen to reason, once he's made up his mind.

Let's just give in and leave this to him and hurry on ahead.

But...

We have a mission to get information on this land back to the Summoners' Hall, don't we?

...I get it. Rhoa, please catch up with us, no matter what.

Of course I will!

Rhoa...

Mirfah!

You've got another hundred years of growing up to do before you need to worry about me!

I'm going to show you what a real man is made of.

Got that? Now get moving.

Krantz, take good care of everyone.

I will...

There you are! Follow me, you dumb brute!

This is it!

If I can overload this, then both you and I...

I knew it.

You... You were supposed to have left with Krantz...

I let Krantz and the rest go on ahead.

I wasn't sure what you were up to all by yourself, so I took the trouble of coming back.

It seems like I had the right idea.

Tsch... I told you, you're in the way.

With you here, I can't set off the devices!

It's fine. Leave it to me. I have a trick up my sleeve, you see...

Urgh... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Kafka... That form... You're...!

What are you staring at?　

Did you finally look up from your machines long enough to notice my beauty?

Stop kidding around! Are you...a demon's...　

He he... Well, you know how it goes.

Why would you do something so reckless?!

You're one to talk. You were about to set off these devices and blow yourself up along with that demonic beast.

Urk... W-Well, that was...

Anyway, this shows that you're not the only one pushing yourself hard.

It seems like it made its way here. Right now isn't the time to pick on each other!

Tsch...fine!
