Hans! I've been waiting for you this whole time!

Hold on a minute, Tilith!

Why were you waiting for us in such a depressing place?

Oh, I just wanted to hear what you guys had to say a bit faster...

You're a real mess, you know that?

But, whatever.

My plans haven't changed. I'm gonna keep marching on to defeat Afla Dilith.

Seria! Thank you so much!

Seria, you sure make up your mind fast...

But if you just take a look around you, you can tell right away.

Nobody here gives a hoot about what that creep was saying, right?

Yeah, you're right, but we should've probably started our discussion with the story first...

I don't have plans of changing my mind either.

Lugi!

Karl, I'm not gonna waste my time hearing that stuff. You explain everything.

I'm going ahead.

He's already gone...

That guy has no clue about what teamwork stands for.

I think if I asked Lugina, he'd probably just get mad...

But, Paris, do you feel the same way?

Yes, of course I do.

I will fight alongside Lady Tilith to destroy Afla Dilith.

Paris, thanks a lot!

And Hans...?

Oh, I guess I don't even have to ask.

Of course not! No need to ask.

Well, Karl, what about you...?

Me?

You don't have to ask me either.

Karl! Thank you so much!

Haha, you don't have to thank me for anything.

Well, we might as well tell you what Zurg told us anyway.

How terrible!

That guy was saying all those horrible things about Lord Lucius?!

Lord Lucius is the nicest guy ever!

He's always worried about Hans and all other humans, you know!

I guess so, yeah.

He helped all humans to escape to Elgaia.

There's no way that what that guy was saying is true.

Besides his ability to insult humans, Zurg's brain doesn't seem to work well for anything else.

.......

Goddess, may I ask you one thing?

What is it, Karl?

Is it true that Lord Lucius lost a lot of his power, like Zurg said?

.......

Yes, that's true.

It's not like I was trying to hide it, but even though he lost his powers, he's still a pretty amazing being you know.

I just hadn't had the chance to talk it over with you yet...

No, it's not like I'm angry or anything, so don't worry about it.

I just wanna know who would be able to leave Lord Lucius in such a state.

Actually, I don't know who his opponent was either. I'm sorry.

I see...

Well, I guess there's no use in thinking about it too much either.

Lady Tilith, may I also ask a question?

Sure.

Is it true that the Holy Emperor Karna Masta is hiding himself?

That's also true...

But, Lord Lucius is speaking directly with Lord Karna Masta.

So Lord Lucius is definitely not trying to rule the world for his own selfish goals.

Thank you...

Paris? Is there something wrong?

No, everything is fine.

Would you allow me to tell Lord Eriole the same story?

Yeah, of course.

Any more questions for the Goddess?

We have all picked our own path.

So let's keep moving forward.

If we make Lugina wait any longer, we'll never hear the end of it.

Right... I would really hate to be subjected to that...

Hey, Hans!

Let's get a move on!

Hans, looks like we're fighting together from now on too!

I, I'm gonna try really, really hard to do my best! Leave it to me!

Tilith, Hans! Stop smiling like a bunch of fools!

We'll leave you behind, you know!

Oh no! Wait, Seria!
