Hans! You're late!

We've come so far and you're still as sluggish as always.

Ha ha ha. You guys are way too strict.

Well, Hans.

You've also heard all the intel from the Dark Figure, right?

We heard the information separately, and were on our way to the Crystal Palace.

But then we all ran into each other here, so we thought we'd wait for you too.

But I didn't want anyone yelling at you because you're "late."

Anyway, what do you think about all this?

There's no need to ask for Hans's opinion.

Since we don't have any other clues, the only thing we can do is continue to the Crystal Palace anyway!

Tsch, this is why you're such a simpleton.

That Dark Figure, or whatever you call it, is working hand in hand with the Imperial Guard, isn't he?

So why would he give us information that would compromise their plans?

Well...

But Lugina, you still believe in what the Dark Figure said, don't you?

Tsk, well that's because I really don't think that their mutual relationship is equally beneficial.

If that's what you think then you should've just said so in the first place!

Stop making other people look stupid!

What Lugina was trying to say is that the Dark Figure may have ulterior motives, so we should be more careful from here on out.

Are you a moron?!

That was not my intention at all!

And I will make fun of you whenever I feel like it because you're a half-witted loser!

Who did you just call a half-witted loser?!

Don't try to act all high and mighty when you're the one that ends up frozen with fear during all of our important battles, you poor excuse for a Summoner!

What did you just say, you dumb broad?!

You guys, that's enough from the both of you.

Hans.

If you came here, that means that...

...you're also headed for the Crystal Palace, right?

In that case, let's get ready to put a stop to the Imperial Guard!

I cannot let you do that.

P-Paris!

...

Tsch, looks like we've gathered a crowd.

Are all these bozos from the Imperial Guard too?

They are. Every single noble knight here has vowed to serve Lord Eriole.

I need at least this much fighting power in order to stop you all, don't I?

I would never underestimate the power of the Summoner who defeated the Four Fallen Gods.

Still as annoying as ever, I see.

So, are you gonna watch from high up on your tower, like always?

Rest at ease, Lugina.

After all, my weakness is my fear of being witnessed falling on the battlefield by my comrades.

Well, I can't wait to see that.

Karl, Seria, Lugina...

...and of course, Hans.

I truly am grateful for your cooperation in defeating the Four Fallen Gods.

I shall never forget my time fighting alongside you all...

Tsk...

Well, what are we gonna do with all these people she left behind?

Karl, do you really have to ask?

We're gonna fight them, obviously.

Ha ha, that's so like you, Seria.

I think I know you a bit too well.

Anyway, Hans.

We'll do what we can with these guys here, and entrust you with pursuing Paris.

Try your best to reason with her!

Sorry, but that kind of stubborn woman is the kind that only learns the hard way.

So don't go easy on her! Show her you mean business!

And if you fail, I'll march over there and do it myself.

Ugh... Could you be any more pathetic?

Hans. Don't let Lugi get his chance to rectify things, okay?

You keep your mouth shut, you idiot!!

Ha ha.

Well Hans, we're counting on you.

I know that you alone can make things right somehow.
