......

*Sigh*

Tilith! You're still worrying too much!

Stop it already! You're making me mad!

Do you really have that little faith in us?!

Seria, I'm sorry.

I have faith in all of you.

That's why I'm not worried. But I just can't make up my mind.

About what?

I think I might've said too much.

Is it about Karl wanting to hear what Zurg has to say?

Yeah.

I think that Karl's got the right idea.

But we told you, we don't care about what he has to say!

Seria, listen to me!

No, not just Seria, but I want everyone else to hear me out too.

I, I really think it would be for the best if you guys hear what Zurg wants to tell you.

You must have some questions about the Fallen Gods we have been defeating so far.

When Maxwell opened the gate that the leads to Elgaia...

...many Summoners spread their power out to try to contain her.

Cardes was sealed in the battlefield long ago.

And since Zevalhua had to be careful of Afla Dilith too...

...he couldn't risk fighting us with all of his power.

But Afla Dilith is different.

I think we should prepare as best as we can.

I have no doubt that Afla Dilith will be unlike anything we've faced so far.

That fight is on its way, that's why I want everyone to understand what they're getting themselves into.

I'm really happy that you guys believe in me.

But that's not all, I want you to trust me even after hearing what the enemy has in store for you.

And with that in mind, we will head towards our last battle...

Oh, sorry!

I just rambled on without thinking about what you guys wanted to say!

But you know, I believe in all of you. I really do!

The always reliable Karl.

The always kind Seria.

The always funny, though his face doesn't show it, Lugi.

The always serious and hardworking Paris.

And...

My Summoner, Hans.

It'll be all right!

It doesn't matter what choice you make, I trust your judgment!

Ahhh! I've had it!

She's completely clueless!

Seria?

Are you listening?!

All you have to say is...

..."Let's keep fighting together, okay?"

And that's it!

Got it?!

Seria...

She's right.

You should just act like your usual self. It's much easier to understand.

You've helped us countless times.

Even if you kicked and screamed, we'd still make you stay with us and fight.

Karl...

I can't agree with you on that.

Why did you label me the funny one?!

You need to start appreciating my true greatness!

I can't fight you till you've realized that.

How indirect...

You, moron! Did you say something?!

I didn't say anything!

Hehehe...

Needless to say, I will have you fight alongside us.

You guys...thanks!

Hans, it's okay!

You don't have to say anything.

I know exactly how you feel.

So, I'll separate from you guys for a bit, and wait on the other side of the Sky Palace Talahr!

I believe in all of you, so I want you to hear Zurg's spiel!

But not even I know what Zurg wants to tell you.

Man. Well, whatever, I guess.

All right. Once we've heard what he wants, we'll tell you all about it.

So, just wait for us ahead.

Yup, you got it!

But if what Zurg says turns out to be nonsense, then kick his butt right there and then!

Sure thing. You can count on us.

Even if you didn't ask us to, I'd still thrash him!

All right, I'll be on my way then.

Hans!

If you don't come back soon, I'll get mad at you, okay?

She's gone.

Man, what an annoying goddess.

Hahaha. She's fine just like that, don't you think?

She's very similar to a human. I like that about her.

But she has absolutely no elegance...

Well, maybe that's part of her charm as a goddess.

Well, should we get going too?

I think we should also distance ourselves from each other a bit from here on out.

I don't think Zurg will attack us till we get to the Sky Palace.

Everyone probably wants some time to think things over by themselves too, I think.

Yeah.

There are just too many things happening at the same time.

I think I want some time to myself too.

Lugina, Paris, what about you guys?

I've had different things in mind from the beginning.

And everything is going as planned.

I haven't reached any conclusions for myself either.

Okay, let's split up till we all get to the Sky Palace.

Hans, I think you'll be fine, but keep an eye out, just in case.

Well guys, let's meet again in the Sky Palace Talahr!

The truth of the Four Fallen Gods?

I wonder what this could all be about.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't curious.

Anyway, I should report this to Lord Eriole right away.

This story might be different from the one that person told us...
