Oh, Hans! Sorry for making you wait so long.

............

Tch...

Huh? What's wrong with Seria and Lugi?

Yeah, don't pay them any mind.

They got in a fight while you and the Goddess were waiting for us, and now they're tired out.

Haven't changed a bit, I see!

Yep, haven't changed at all.

So, you guys have been... Err, I mean, the reason you guys have been waiting to see Hans...

...is because it has something to do with Zurg, right?

Exactly.

Paris was with us a few minutes ago too...

...but she got sick of watching these two fighting, and went off somewhere.

But I think she'll be back any time now.

Oh, see? She's back.

Paris! Hans is here!

Lady Tilith, I'm so sorry! I made you wait far too long.

Don't sweat it! We just got here ourselves.

Well then, shall we start our discussion?

Seria, Lugina! You guys should be okay by now, right?

Yeah... I have enough energy to speak, I guess...

I've been fine this whole time, so who cares.

All right, these two seem to be back in good shape.

Okay, Hans. Let's get started.

First of all, I'll tell you about the request we got from the Akras Summoners' Hall.

Well, it's more like Elder Grah's request than anything.

Seria, Lugina, myself, and you, Hans.

The four of us have to defeat the last of the Four Fallen Gods, Afla Dilith.

That's the request we received, and the reason why we took on that mission.

Goddess, we honestly don't care about anything Zurg has to say.

So there's no reason for you to worry so much.

Huh?!

He's right.

There's no way we'd help a god who's trying to destroy the human race!

Give Karl and I a little more credit than that!

Though I don't know about what this guy over here intends to do.

Hah! You think I'd fall for his cheap tricks?

Even if I went along with Zurg's plans...

...he would only use us humans as his pawns.

And of course, I've pledged my life to the Imperial Guard and Lord Eriole.

I will help you defeat Afla Dilith.

So continue moving worth without worry, Lady Tilith. Have faith in us.

You guys...

Thanks.

Oh, geez...

Technically, you're a goddess, so get your stuff together!

Technically...?

Yeah! I...love you, Seria!

D-Don't say such stupid things!

Well, at least it looks like you're back to normal, so that's good...

Yeah, I'll do my best!

Okay! Hans!

Let's work together with everyone and defeat Afla Dilith!

Yeah, she's right!

Though, that Zurg guy is still alive and well somewhere.

I don't think he'll stay this quiet forever, so we should be careful as we advance.

And especially you, Hans. He really has his eyes set on you.

Make sure to keep your eyes open.

It's no problem!

I'll take good care of Hans!

Haha. She really is back to normal.

But now I'm scared that she might have a bit too much energy...

Haha. We'll all be in serious trouble if that's the case.

But either way, it'd still be better than her not having any energy at all.

Okay then, Hans. It's about time for us to get going!

I'm looking forward to seeing you back in action!
