Oh wow! That Shusui!

How persistent!

I know. I feel like he might show up again...

I'm starting to understand the fear that Mora was talking about...

Hans!

Since you didn't finish him off like you were supposed to, he's getting all arrogant!

Make sure to take care of him next time!

Got that?!

Hold on!

Look...

What is that...

It's so terrible... It looks like someone went mad here...

But all these fluids that have been splattered everywhere. Are they Melord's?

Well, he definitely came here. The issue is where he is now...

These fluids look like they've been splattered all over the place...

Finding their origin will prove difficult.

Tsk, this'll be a pain, but we've got no choice.

Hey, you guys.

He's definitely not here anymore.

Let's look for the passage he took out of here.

Don't go giving commands.

We don't need you stating the obvious.

...... *Sigh*

Tsk, well then hurry up and get to work.

Hans, don't you laze around, either!

Looks like everyone left ya behind.

Hey.

Haha. What's with the funny face? I just wanna talk. Just the two of us.

Anyway, it seems like you guys are really struggling out here.

The poison is really getting to Seria and Lugina. I wonder if it can be neutralized without the Goddess.

What, me?

Haha. I may have grown a bit resistant to it, sure.

Well, now I'd like you to do something for me. It would be too hard for Paris.

......

...Hans, listen.

First I wanna say that I'm neither an impostor, nor being controlled.

I only told you to leave Ishgria after I really thought about it.

...... But I'll be honest with you, I'm still not sure if I'm doing the right thing or not.

That's why I wanted some time.

Because if I hadn't said anything at all, I knew you'd just keep trying to catch up with me.

......

Hmm, it might've been better if I had just kept all this stuff to myself.

Ah, sounds like someone is coming back.

Hans. Just trust me on this, okay?

I'll always be your friend.

That will never change.

Hans, what's wrong? You look dazed.

Anyway, Lugina found a secret passage that he thinks Melord may have escaped through.

So, let's go. Seria will be very unhappy with you if you take too long.

We can't just let her sit there listening to Lugina's boasting either...
