Phew, we finally made it past the volcano.

Ah, the ocean breeze feels so nice!

I was drenched in sweat in that volcano, going for a swim would be perfect right about now.

We don't have time to lose focus.

Also, you were told before that nobody wanted to see you in a bathing suit, weren't you?

You're both so annoying!

I never said I'd wear a bathing suit!

Oh, and Lugi.

Aren't you blushing because you're imagining me in a bathing suit?

Stupid broad!

Want me to beat you to a pulp?!

Hey, stop fighting already.

You're gonna exhaust yourselves fighting again, just like you did at Mt. Olmond.

Seriously, stop it.

I don't want to become even more uncomfortable than I already feel...

Hans. Isn't it just the best when we're all together? It really livens things up.

It looks like you are all here.

That voice!

Tsk, you're a bit early this time, don't you think?!

Humans. Why do you continue with your journey in this land?

That should be obvious!

We're gonna beat Afla Dilith once and for all!

I see. You still haven't opened your eyes to the truth.

Humans are truly foolish creatures indeed.

This is exactly why creatures like you need a god to guide your way.

No, we just don't need you bossing us around.

We already have our own goddess who leads our way.

Karl!

You are fools to go against the servant of a Fallen God.

But as unpleasant as it is, I shall allow it for now.

Because I have yet to tell you the truth about everything.

Oh yeah, you didn't get to tell us about that truth you mentioned so much last time.

So, is that why you're here now? Because you wanted to talk to us?

No.

We might run into yet another obstacle here.

Humans.

I have opened a path to the Sky Palace Talahr for you.

However, the humans should be the only ones to proceed.

I shall reveal the truth to you there.

The truth of the four gods you call the Fallen.

Tsch, there he goes again. He gives a speech, and then disappears.

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

Tilith! Don't make that face!

It's not like we're just gonna go flying into a trap as obvious as that one!

No, we don't know it's a trap for sure.

That Zurg is different from the Mare we faced before.

I don't think he'd be the kind to spring a trap on us.

But even so, it's not like we're gonna do what he asks us to.

Lady Tilith.

No matter what happens, the Imperial Guard will always be on your side.

Don't worry about him, and let us go after Afla Dilith!

I don't know about falling for anything that guy said, but Sky Palace Talahr is on the way.

We could just leave the Goddess somewhere if we want to when the time comes.

There you go again with that!

You're seriously the lowest of the low.

My mind works very differently from you lot, you know?!

Karl! You know what I mean, right?

Taking up Zurg's invitation doesn't sound half bad.

I won't deny that there's some truth to that, but I have no plans of doing that.

Tsch, you're so lame.

Shut up! Don't call him that!

You're getting on my nerves!

Hey, Karl! Explain everything to this idiot for me!

Sigh, I guess I should at least say something.

Goddess, I'm gonna tell you this from the get go, but this is just a last resort.

I don't really plan on going this route, so please don't worry.

But, you know.

I don't think that Zurg will force us to make a choice after telling us the truth he keeps mentioning.

I can tell by the way he's been behaving this whole time.

So, we should go to the Sky Palace Talahr first, and just hear what he wants to say.

And if he comes back to ask us to join him again, then we'll just refuse.

That sounds like an idea that someone at elementary school level would think of. My money is on Lugina.

Why you! Do you want to get crush into pieces?!

Of course, there's still the possibility that it's all a trap.

And there's a good chance that the information Zurg gives us could turn out to be false too.

But I'm determined to not believe what that guy says anyway.

So look, Goddess...

...don't make that face, and let's keep moving forward!

Hans!

You gotta do your best too!

Karl, thanks!

I wonder if I made a weird face again.

I really shouldn't spoil this pretty face of mine.

Okay, happy thoughts. I have to smile! Smile!

Hans!

Don't just stand there without saying anything! Give us the word to go!

Seriously! Cat got your tongue, or what?!

Fine, I'll do it!

Everyone, let's go!

Dispatch!
