I am so sorry!

I completely disregarded the mission... I wasn't myself!

It's okay.

That conversation that the machine played...it was pretty valuable, huh?

It was!!!

Valuable doesn't even begin to describe it!

Just the fact that it managed to survive that long... That in itself is miraculous!

Hehe... Reda, you really love your history, don't you?

Ugh... I guess I should just save myself the excuses.

Oh no, I'm not trying to make you feel bad.

Actually, I'm a little jealous to see that you have something you can pour your heart into.

I think I'd like something like that too.

Maybe I can find it while traveling with Hans!

Well, well... Who do we have here?

If it isn't the Goddess Tilith and Hans!

I should have expected to meet you here at some point or another.

Umm... And you are...that Bertz guy, right?

That is correct.

But for a goddess to trouble herself remembering my name, I must say it is an honor.

It would seem...Seria is not with you today?

How very unfortunate.

However, in her stead I see...a familiar face.

Tsch...

How have you been, Reda?

That's no way to treat an old friend now, is it?

How else do you expect me to react to your face?

Wait, you guys know each other?

We do indeed. We are not as friendly as I am with Lugina, but friendly enough.

We worked together not too long ago.

Friendly...? That's rich.

I have nothing to say to you.

Besides, you do realize we're enemies now, don't you?

I'm afraid you're right...

But it would seem there's no point in trying to reason with you. Which is a shame after this lovely reunion.

I guess I have no choice but to leave you be for now.

After all, both you and I...

...have very important matters to take care of while we're here.

You... How much have you and your people found out about this world?!

Oh? Suddenly feeling chatty, are we?

Unfortunately for you, there is no reason, or need, for you to know that.

Grr...

Lady Tilith, Hans...

...please excuse me.

I must be on my way now...

I knew it... They're already making their move!

We have to hurry!

Reda, do you really know that guy?

...yes.

We...have a bit of history together.

But you listen to me now. Don't believe a word he says!

The more you listen, the more he reels you in.

The best thing to do is just ignore him!

Interesting... Lugi said pretty much the exact same thing.

...doesn't surprise me.

His history with Bertz is way longer than mine.

C'mon, we have to hurry!

We can't let him... No, we can't let the Abel Faction get ahead of us!
