Hey, Hans! I've been waiting for you!

It looks like Lord Owen has a request for both you and Noah...

...so he's waiting in the back!

Well, it looks like Hans is here.

Eeeeeek!

L-Lord Owen!

How long have you been standing there?

Please stop hiding your presence and then popping up like that!

It seems Noah has yet to arrive though.

Sir, are you even listening to me...?

No matter.

This is a race against time.

Hans, I'll have a word with you first.

Your next mission is to subjugate a demon which has appeared in Grand Gaia. The demon called "Yugreia."

Yugreia?!

Noah, you're here.

That mission! Give it to me!

I will be the one to defeat that demon!

No, I have to defeat it!

Well, well. It seems like your heart is really in it this time.

However, do you think you can win against an opponent you have already lost to before?

I was different back then.

I don't rely on others anymore.

I've trained this whole time to be able to take down demons by myself.

Hans.

I know I said I acknowledged your power, but this time it's different.

I have a reason why I must defeat that thing!

Elise! This mission is mine!

Get it done!

W-Wait! Noah!!

Wh-What should we do? Lord Owen...?

It's fine.

I planned to offer the mission to Noah as well either way.

But, there's only one target, isn't there?

Perhaps.

However, as you well know, Yugreia is quite powerful.

Powerful enough to skew the future of a brilliant Summoner.

......

Hans.

Regarding this mission, I care not for whom accomplishes it first.

The results of it all are the most important thing.

I will have you show me what you can do against the demon which was able to defeat Noah once before.

......

Hans.

Yugreia is an extremely deadly beast.

Noah wants to face it on his own, but...

...please help him out there on the battlefield.

I'm sure it will remind him of the importance of having someone to rely on.

Just like he gradually came to recognize your power...
