Wow! This forest feels amazing, too!

It'd be great if that weirdo from before didn't show up this time.

Goddess, it is definitely a beautiful forest, but please don't let your guard down...

Who's there?!

D-Did that weird guy show up again?!

Who are you calling a weird guy?!

Ah, that voice!

Tsk, the foliage is so depressing around these parts.

Looks like it was that weirdo after all!

Yes, he sure is a strange one.

Are you guys even ready to go yet?

Lugi, I was just kidding!

Oh, did you run into Seria by any chance?

Yeah, for just a second.

However, since the quality of her info wasn't very good, she went off again to find something better.

Anyway, is what this disciple Zurg guy saying true?

I don't trust him.

You doubt the words of a god? Humans are truly a foolish species after all.

Zurg!

So you're Afla Dilith's disciple, Zurg...

You, human. I speak the truth.

There is no point in me lying to you humans either way.

But that's of no consequence.

I don't plan to spend the rest of my time here talking about the stupidity of humans.

I just wanted to point out to you the human foolishness that still lingers about these parts.

Thanks to the the ugly war between the Capital of Lanara and the kingdom, I mean.

I wonder if there are any traces of your human failings here in the Forest of Old?

The capital that flourished in this forest once was not destroyed by the gods.

It was destroyed by idiotic humans like yourselves.

Even when they are the same species, humans are so foolish that they can't coexist peacefully.

Summoner.

Keep a close eye on your surroundings.

Observe the countless human atrocities around you.

Keep your ears open.

Listen to the cries full of resentment coming from the forest.

Allow me to continue enlightening you.

I will prove to you that my master, Afla Dilith...

...is the one and only god capable of saving this world.

I shall show myself in front of you time and time again...

...in order to guide you towards the truth.

Tsk, he said whatever he wanted and then vanished just like that.

He has no plans to hear our side of the story.

But, it's just like he says. He has no reason why to lead us on.

What makes you say that?

Heh, you know that as well as I do, don't you?

That guy might be taking orders from Afla Dilith.

So you can imagine what those orders could be. But whatever, we don't have time to talk about that right now.

Yes, you're right.

We have no choice but to head towards Aldalia, just like Zurg mentioned.

Yeah, that's the new plan.

Hey, Goddess.

What are you gonna do?

Are you just gonna be a goody-two-shoes the whole time, like you were told to?

N-No, I'm not!

I don't know what Zurg is planning, but I only care about defeating Afla Dilith!

If we defeat all of the Four Fallen Gods, I'm sure that Grand Gaia will find peace!

I guess...

Hans!

I'm going to Alnakeid by myself!

Because if I stick with you, maybe that annoying disciple guy will show up again!

Follow me afterwards and bring these guys with you in one piece.

Oh, and one more thing.

It's some advice from my noble self.

You're not that bright, so don't go overanalyzing stuff, all right?

Hey, Hans.

About what Lugina wanted to tell me...

Wait, no...never mind!

Well, if we get past this forest we'll be a step closer to Alnakeid!

Let's go for it!
