Thank you, Hans...

You are indeed strong, there's no doubt about it.

And I don't just mean physically, but strong of heart as well.

He he. I feel so relieved now!

I know I was the one who lost, and yet...

I guess if I ever have any other doubts, I'll just have to ask you to fight me again!

Ha ha ha. I'm only kidding.

All right, let's get going now.

There are many more people waiting for you than you realize!

Oh, and Hans, just keep this one thing in mind.

If you're ever in any trouble, I'll always be there to lend you a hand.

Because...you're very important to me.

......

Oh, I'm sorry! Don't get any strange ideas from that!

All I'm saying is that I care for you as a person!

I'm sure if Seria were here she would've given me an earful by now...

Anyway, let's get out of this place!

People might start getting suspicious if we stay here any longer.

......

But remember Hans...

...I'll always be here for you whenever you need me.

And when that time comes, I'll have become even stronger than I am now.

After all, struggling through my own doubts will always help me grow!
