*Gasp...* *pant...*

Reed
......

Lucana
Wait...a second... Let's take a break.

Lucana
The people with us are exhausted. If we don't take a short break...

Reed
......

Lucana
......

Lucana
Hey, Reed!

Reed
Oh, um, yeah...

Reed
You're right. We can rest...

Eru
I'm sorry, but we don't have the time for that.

Lucana
Eru...

Eru
We're just a few steps from the promised land now, but the God Army's attacks are intensifying the closer we get.

Eru
Then there was Rhein, who was scouting out the God Army's movements.

Eru
And Aneil, who always led us to the safest routes.

Eru
And Nevsky, who saved us from disaster time after time...

Eru
We're losing comrades one after the other.

Reed
......

Eru
We're left with no choice. We have to leave behind anyone who can't keep up!

Reed
......

Reed
What did you just say?

Eru
Didn't you hear me?

Eru
I said we have to leave behind anyone who holds up our progress!

Reed
I...

Reed
I want to save everyone who's come this far with us!

Eru
That's not possible in our situation!

Eru
If that's really what you think, then you're not fit to be the leader!

Reed
Eru, you...

Eru
It seems like you can't get it through your thick head.

Eru
So, do you want to settle the issue we left open before?

Eru
On one condition, of course; the winner gets to set our future policy.

Reed
......

Reed
A duel, then? Just like when we first met...

Reed
Sounds good. I accept.

Lucana
Reed, Eru...

Lucana
Stop it! This isn't the time...

Reed
......

Eru
......

Eru & Reed
Hyaaaaahhh!

Lucana
Huh?

Lucana
They both attacked enemies behind each other!

Eru
So, it seems you haven't gone soft after all.

Reed
You did that...on purpose?

Eru
Hmph. So we don't have any problems.

Eru
All of you hurry ahead.

Lucana
What? What about you, Eru?

Eru
Moments ago, the people at the rear took the brunt of an attack by the God Army.

Eru
I drove the enemies off, but it looks like they'll be back again soon.

Eru
So I'll act as the rear guard for now, to head them off before they can start.

Reed
I-I haven't heard anything about this!

Eru
I stopped the messengers before they reached you.

Eru
Had you heard of it, you would've gone running into the fray immediately.

Lucana
Why would you do that?

Eru
It's like I just said, every second of every minute counts now.

Eru
We can't risk the majority of our people to save a small number of them.

Reed
Then we should all go!

Eru
No, your work here isn't done!

Eru
Even once you get to the promised land, you'll be entering unknown territory.

Eru
The people will need someone to give them hope, to lead them in their new lives there.

Eru
Aside from you guys, nobody can do that for them.

Reed
But Eru, you could also...!

Eru
I couldn't!

Reed
Huh?

Eru
I see reality before I see hope. I'm not suited to inspiring people.

Lucana
That's not...

Eru
Of course, from my point of view you're both too soft.

Eru
But even I can see...that straightforward types like you are the ones who can inspire hope among the people.

Reed
Eru...

Eru
Leave the people in the rear to me.

Eru
You just keep looking ahead and moving forward!

Lucana
......

Eru
Don't worry. I'm not headed to my certain death, either. I'll follow you if I survive.

Reed
All right. Understood. We'll lead the people from here.

Lucana
We'll be waiting for you...always!

Eru
......

Eru
Reed...I envy you.
