Hmm...

There don't seem to be any suspicious looking places around here...

Huh...?

Ah, Karl!

Hello, Goddess.

Did you find any clues over there?

Unfortunately, no.

Seriously though, where could the elder be...?

It's because he does these kind of crazy things at his age that he ended up getting captured in the first place.

Nah. I can tell you're just worried about him, Karl.

Haha. Guess I'm no match for a goddess.

You don't have to worry about him!

I'm sure Elder Grah is doing just fine!

You were all right when you got captured too, weren't you?

So it's obvious that an even greater guy like Elder Grah would be okay too.

There are things that I can't agree with about that statement...

But I guess that even if I worry about him, he won't be kicking the bucket any time soon.

Thanks, Goddess!

But it's a bit strange.

You...

Paris-bear.

B-Bear?!

It's really difficult to say this to a goddess, but...

...could you please not call me "bear" anymore?

You can just call me "Paris". I don't mind that.

Okay, fine.

So, Paris, why exactly are you here?

Well, I'm also looking for Elder Grahdens.

So it should come as no surprise that I ran into you.

All right, whatever.

So, what do you think is so strange about all this?

Wow, a person like Karl of Nyonne doesn't know what I'm referring to?

I don't have time for your stupid little games. Tell us already.

Hehe, it looks like you're different from Lugina after all.

Well, all right then.

I'm sure you think it's strange too, don't you?

Why would the gods capture him and let him live?

...

If Elder Grahdens fought by your side against Zevalhua, and got captured in the process

then why don't they have enough motive to kill him?

...

Could it all be leading us into a trap?

...

Can't we think about that later?! We have to rescue Elder Grah!

You're right.

Karl, Hans,

the Goddess is right. I shall also continue my search for the elder.

Let's do our best together.

Yeah, you got me there. Thanks for your help.

Hehe, since Grahdens might be able to answer that little riddle for us anyway.

Yeah, he just might...

Hehe...
