Liana
Huh?!

Liana
These are not your attendants, Lady Tilith?

Tilith
No way!

Tilith
Hans is my beloved Summoner...

Tilith
...and Reda, Hatchy, and Tull-Tull are comrades who travel with us.

Liana
Comrades?

Tilith
Yeah, we're comrades and friends!

Tilith
Of course, I want to be friends with you, too, Liana!

Liana
Unbelievable!

Liana
A goddess, dealing with humans like us as equals!

Tilith
Um, well... It's not really that shocking...

Tilith
A-Anyway, that's the situation...

Tilith
...so you can just call me "Tilith" like everyone else does!

Liana
I-I couldn't possibly...!

Liana
Calling a goddess by her name alone... I simply cannot!

Tilith
U-Um...

Reda
...... Oh, well, it won't do any good to force her to do it.

Tilith
That's true, but...

Reda
More importantly, this seems to be a village, but it has a rather lonely air about it.

Reda
For one thing, I don't see any of the residents...

Liana
That's because...everyone is choosing to stay indoors as much as they can, out of fear of the Mystical Wolf's underlings.

Tilith
The Mystical Wolf's underlings show up around here, too?

Liana
Yes...

Liana
Although not frequently, they have even been spotted near the castle we live in recently...

Tilith
......

Reda
If that's what's going on, I can understand the lack of people...

Liana
......

Liana
I am sure that my sister was thinking of the people who live here...

Liana
...when she began to speak of slaying the Mystical Wolf.

Liana
She always cared deeply about protecting us, and the people who live here...

Reda
......

Reda
Speaking of the people, if you all are descendants of the Bariura Empire...

Reda
...does that make the people who live here descendants of the Empire's retainers and the like?

Liana
I...I believe it does.

Liana
The legend of the Bariura Empire has been passed down since long ago...

Liana
...but I feel that most people dismiss it all as something out of a fairytale.

Liana
Even I still cannot fully believe that my ancestors truly built a nation...

Liana
...on another world.

Reda
Well, until very recently, we would have reacted the same way on our world.

Liana
Oh, but my sister alone truly believed the legends of the Bariura Empire.

Liana
She often listened to my grandmother's tales, and would read records regarding them.

Liana
She was also outraged at the behavior of the gods, during the war between the gods and humanity...

Tilith
......

Liana
Oh... P-Please forgive me!!

Liana
Wh...What have I done?! To say such a thing before a goddess...!

Tilith
It's no big deal.

Tilith
It was long ago, and I wasn't around yet, back then.

Reda
I...I enjoy researching history, too...

Reda
...or, well, I don't hate it.

Reda
But I think Luciana's feelings on the subject might be connected...

Reda
...to her sudden drive to defeat the Mystical Wolf.

Liana
That...may well be true.

Tilith
......
