I've been expecting you.

Lord Grahdens!

Hah! Forget being an Elder Summoner. You're more like a ghost that haunts us everywhere we go.

Ho ho ho.

When you live as long as I have, you accumulate many tasks you must complete along the way.

What pesky chore do you have for us this time?

Well, the truth is...

...that we've been unable to locate Owen after he supposedly arrived to Ishgria.

You can't find Lord Owen?!

Precisely.

That is why I'm going to seek him out myself.

After all, he may just be wandering about.

We may not be able to communicate for a short amount of time, but I'm entrusting you with things here.

Lord Grahdens...

Very well. Please leave it in our hands.

Please take care of yourself...

We don't need to worry about that stuff.

It's not like these Elders are gonna go down without a fight.

And it doesn't sound like a difficult task at all either.

Maybe the old geezer got a little hurt and just needs some time to rest or something.

Lugina! Watch your mouth!

Ho ho ho. It's quite all right, Paris.

But more importantly, what about Karl?

If that demon's telling the truth, then he should be in the area.

You are right. I wonder how that Karl is doing...

But no matter. I leave him in your care.

Karl is no longer a child.

He should be more than able to do things on his own by this point.

......

Well, I shall be on my way.

I'm counting on all of you.

Yes, sir. We won't fail you.

Hans, if something happens to Karl, please lend him a hand.

I'm sure he has a lot of faith in you.

I hope Lord Owen is all right...

......

Wait, Paris...

Have you never...met Lord Owen?

N-No...

Hah. So that's why.

Well, let me tell you something.

Lord Owen is totally fine.

Huh? But how can you be so sure?

If you had ever met him, you would know...

Anyway, I'm going ahead.

I just remembered some stuff that made me feel a little sick...

I'm going ahead too.

Karl and Beiorg are one thing...

...but I'm more worried about what that old geezer plans to do here...

......

H-Hey Hans.

Have you met Lord Owen before?

After talking to those two just now, I'm a little nervous about finally seeing him in person...
