Hmph! You sure took your sweet time getting here.

And people wonder why I don’t have more respect for you Regular Army types.

Still, you did manage to get here before that self-righteous Imperial Guard, that’s at least something.

And who might that be, then?

Wha-? You?! How long’ve you been standing there!

Since just before you arrived and started making a fool of yourself.

Why you! You’ve been watching me this whole time!

Oh relax, will you?

I’ve got more important things to do with my time than analyze every little movement you make.

Argh, lemme at her!

This is why I hate you Imperial Guard lot, you’re always so darn smug!

You can air your grievances later. First, tell me what it is you’re doing here.

Huh? Is that some kind of joke?

I’m here to investigate the ruins, of course.

Look at them! They must’ve been here since before the Great Collapse.

Have you ever seen somewhere so crying out to be investigated?

Anyway, I came here to check them out, and this one's been following after me.

I see... So you read ancient script, I take it?

I was under the impression that I was supposed to be doing the investigating...

What's that? Don't think I'm up to the job, do ya!?

You’re the only one who’s capable of anything intellectual, is that it?

No, in fact, I’m rather impressed.

Perhaps you’re not as stupid as that gruff exterior of yours suggests.

...I’m warning you, lady.

Don’t think I'm not gonna react if you keep pushing me.

And trust me, when I get angry, I'm capable of pounding things to dust!

Imperial Guard or otherwise.

My, that does sound scary. I’d best keep on your good side then.

Grrr... I knew it! You are making fun of me!

Hehe... You think I'd really be so cruel?

In fact it's probably best you take care not to upset Lugina either, understand?

Not that I can imagine any friend of Karl’s being

scared by the likes of a member of the Sky Guardians...

Huh? This Karl you speak of... Would he happen to be the Karl of Nyonne?

Oh, I haven’t laughed like that in ages. The very idea that this bozo could be friends with Karl!

Now I’ve really heard everything...

Hey, where you think you’re going!

To investigate. We can cover more ground if we split up, don't you think?

Lugina, you check over there.

W-Wait! How am I supposed to know where to...

...Hmph.

If she’s going to lie to my face, she could at least try to make it half-believable.

Heh, as if this dopey ignoramus could really know Karl...

Grr... Just thinking about that girly-faced pretty boy gets my blood boiling!

Hey, you! Don’t just stand there looking dumb! Get out there and take care of those monsters!
