So. How about this weather?

うーむ...

Is it me, or has it gotten really tense
here all of a sudden?

えーと...みなさん、ずいぶん
空気が重たいみたいですけど...

Sharena Princess of Askr Face Pain
Sharenaシャロン
Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード

Really? I hadn't noticed. What could
possibly have these two so worked
up, I wonder?

ああ、空気ね。
どうしたもんかな。

You can drop the act, Claude.
This isn't Fódlan.

Are we really going to insist on
dragging Fódlan's conflict into Askr?

どうしたもんかな...じゃ
ありませんよ、クロード。

ここはフォドラとは違うんです。
アスク王国でも凄惨な争いを
繰り返すつもりですか?

Lysithea Earnest Seeker Face FC
Lysitheaリシテア
Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

No. Lysithea has a point. There is no
good reason for us to fight one
another in this world.

そうね、リシテアの言うとおり
ここは異界の地。

I suppose the change does render
our old grudges rather irrelevant.

この地にフォドラの遺恨を
持ち込む必要はないだろう。

Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ
Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード

Spoken just like the Dimitri I... Nope,
can't get through it with a straight
face. When did you learn to relax?

そういやディミトリ...
マトモに話せるようになったのか?
なんだか妙に落ち着いているし。

I must admit, I share his surprise.
You are a completely different person
than the Dimitri I faced in battle.

たしかに。私が最後に...
貴方と戦ったときとは
まるで別人のようだわ。

Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト
Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

I shudder to think what became
of me in your worlds.

In my Fódlan, the Kingdom of
Faerghus defeated the Adrestian
Empire, and I was crowned king.

お前たちの世界にいた俺が
どのような人物かは知らないが...

俺の知るファーガスは
アドラステア帝国を打倒し、
俺は王として即位した。

Yeah, that's...not what happened
in mine.

And I'll bet the Empire was victorious
in your Fódlan, wasn't it, Princess?
Or should I say Your Majesty?

ファーガスが覇権を握った?
うーん、俺のいたフォドラとは
歴史が違うようだな...

そっちの皇女様、いや...
エーデルガルト皇帝陛下の世界では
あんたがフォドラを支配したってんだろ?

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

Yes, it was. But victory did not come
by my strength alone. My teacher
was always at my side.

The war in your world must have
gone well for the Leicester Alliance,
Claude. Did you become king?

私の力だけではないわ。
師が傍にいてくれたからこそ
私の覇道は成ったのよ。

なるほど。クロードの世界では
レスター諸侯同盟が覇権を握り
貴方がフォドラの王になったのね?

The Alliance did win the war, and we
did establish a new unified kingdom
of Fódlan.

Claude didn't rule it, though. He went
back home to Almyra and lived as
royalty there.

違いますよ。わたしたちがいた世界では
アドラステア帝国との戦いのあと
フォドラに統一王国が成立します。

この人は故郷のパルミラに戻って
王子様として暮らしていたみたいです。

Lysithea Earnest Seeker Face FC
Lysitheaリシテア
Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

Claude is Almyran royalty?

How can that be? Were you not
the heir to House Riegan?

クロードが隣国パルミラの王子?

どういうことだ...リーガン公爵家の
嫡男ではなかったのか?

We can talk out little details like that
another time. For now, I have a favor
to ask of the both of you.

First, why don't we stop giving
Princess Sharena a headache and
call a truce for our stay in Askr?

まあまあ...とりあえず今は
細かい話はあとにして
二人に相談がある。

シャロン王女も心配していることだしさ。
アスク王国では不戦条約を結ばないか?

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharenaシャロン

Yes, please! I'm all for that. We can't
have the Heroes fighting each other.

そ、そうですね!
英雄同士でケンカは良くないです!

I understand that our purpose here is
to defend the people of Askr.
With that in mind...I accept.

俺に異存はない。
この地に来たのはアスクの民を
救うためと理解している。

Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ
Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

As do I. To be at one another's
throats now would be counter
to all our goals.

承知したわ。
この世界でなにをなすべきか
私もわかっているつもりよ。

Great to hear. There's just one more
tiny little wrinkle.

There are other versions of us here.
Versions who are five years younger.

ありがとう。そしてもうひとつ
二人に相談があるんだ...

この世界には5年前の
自分たちも存在しているらしい。

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

You're joking.

......

Afraid I'm not. So let's all keep clear
of them, OK? It's for the best we not
talk to them about...well, anything.

エーデルガルトもディミトリも
「あの事件」が起こる前の自分たちに
極力、接触しないでほしいんだ...

Have you heard, Claude?! There's
another version of you in Askr!
From the future!

Not just you, either. I heard ther are
a few others—all five years older
than any of us!

Yeah, I heard—from Prince Alfonse
himself, no less. Sources don't get
much more credible than that.

Claude The Schemer Face FC
Claudeクロード
Lysithea Child Prodigy Face FC
Lysitheaリシテア

I heard there's an older one of me
as well.

I haven't heard about there being a
future me here. She's probably busy
relaxing on a beach or something...

But you must be curious, Lysithea!
A lot can happen in five years. Did
you get a chance to talk to her at all?

Hilda Idle Maiden Face FC
Hildaヒルダ
Lysithea Child Prodigy Face FC
Lysitheaリシテア

I haven't seen her anywhere. Not
around the castle, not at the training
grounds, not on deployment...

But that's OK. To be honest, I'm not
that interested in learning about
my future self.

Knowing I'm alive five years from now
is more than enough for me.

Sure, but...you're not even a teensy
bit curious? What about you, Claude?

Hilda Idle Maiden Face FC
Hildaヒルダ
Claude The Schemer Face FC
Claudeクロード

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.

On the other hand...I can guess at
a few pretty good reasons to keep
us in the dark.

I can't even begin to imagine what
I'll be like five years from now.

Mercedes Kindly Devotee Face FC
Mercedesメルセデス
Annette Overachiever Face FC
Annetteアネット

That's OK, Mercie, I'll picture it for
you. Oooh, you look amazing!

Thank you so much! I'm sure you'll
look every bit as good, Annie.

Mercedes Kindly Devotee Face FC
Mercedesメルセデス
Annette Overachiever Face FC
Annetteアネット

I don't know about that. But I do
know I'll be working hard as ever.

I can't wait to see what a great king
you'll be in five years, Your Highness!

...

Dimitri The Protector Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ
Annette Overachiever Face FC
Annetteアネット

Um, Your Highness? Did I say
something wrong?

Ah, no. Of course not. Forgive me.

I look forward to accepting the
responsibility of governing Faerghus.

Five years... Five years from now...

Dimitri The Protector Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ
Hubert Sinister Servant Face FC
Hubertヒューベルト

Urgent news, Lady Edelgard.

It seems 【Summoner】 has
summoned you to this world
from five years in the future.

So it's true...

No matter. Whatever has happened
with the Empire in those five years
is of no concern to me here and now.

Nothing about this situation changes
any of my decisions...or the path
that lies ahead of me.

Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト
Hubert Sinister Servant Face FC
Hubertヒューベルト

As I thought. In that case, please
allow me to continue to shadow
your every step along that path.

Thank you, Hubert.

Dimitriディミトリ

Claude... May I have a word?

Hey, no need to be so hesitant.
We're old dining hall pals, you know.

We won't let one little war get in the
way of that, will we?

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

The years haven't changed you a bit.
The old tree may look changed, but
the roots are the same as ever.

I could say the same thing about you,
couldn't I? Anyway, what's this word
you're after?

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

Upon reflection, I'm not sure it's wise
to hide the truth of what happened
five years ago from our other selves.

To hide from them what will occur
at Garreg Mach... What will happen
to the professor...

Honestly, my friend... I had my
reservations about keeping this
from the professor as well.

To hide it from myself is one thing,
but Teach...

Let's just say I didn't expect a past
version of Teach to be here as well.

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

Our professor might have the power
to avert that tragedy...to save so
many lives that were lost.

He has a point, Claude.

Lysithea Earnest Seeker Face FC
Lysitheaリシテア
Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード

Maybe.

Don't you think we should take this
opportunity to prevent a war?

This might even be the reason we
were brought to Askr to begin with.

Lysithea Earnest Seeker Face FC
Lysitheaリシテア
Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

...

Don't be shy, Your Majesty.
Join the party.

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

Whether we tell them or not makes
no difference at all.

All three of us had at least some idea
five years ago about what was going
to occur in Fódlan.

...

Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ
Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

If I had five years ago seen myself
as I am now, it would have only
hardened my resolve.

Whether you tell them the truth or
not, our pasts and their futures
will remain the same.

Maybe you're right. Even so...I still
think there may be value in keeping
this knowledge from them.

There's another possibility that we
haven't considered yet.

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード

A New Future - A

Background image: 002_PlainForestInside
Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

Another possibility?

That's right.

From five years ago to today, each of
us has done what we thought was
best for the situation.

Right or wrong, we each played our
hand with the cards we were dealt.

That much is set in stone.

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Lysithea Earnest Seeker Face FC
Lysitheaリシテア

Can't argue with that.

So, even if we talked to our past
selves now and tried to convince
them to change...they wouldn't.

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

Precisely.

I have chosen my path, and I will
never stop fighting for what
I believe in.

True. But there's one advantage
these past versions of us have
that we didn't five years ago.

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

Askr. They have Askr.

Right on, Tempest King! And how
they learn and grow while they're in
Askr could change everything.

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Lysithea Earnest Seeker Face FC
Lysitheaリシテア

So you're saying Fódlan could turn
out differently based on how things
go here...

Maybe. I'm at least saying that I don't
want any of my actions here to ruin
the possibility.

For that reason, I think we should all
take a step back and trust our old
selves to work things out.

Of course...that includes Teach.

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Lysithea Earnest Seeker Face FC
Lysitheaリシテア

I don't think spending time in Askr
is likely to change anything, but...

It's not impossible.

A future that none of us had the
opportunity to experience... Even
the mere possibility of it is staggering.

Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ
Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

My path will not be so easily altered.

Even so... It is possible that there is
a solution to Fódlan's problems
I haven't discovered.

Our other selves may just light the
way to a whole new future.

Claude Almyras King Face FC

Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC

Hey, everyone! Finally found you!
Just wanted to let you know that
training's about to start.

Ah, the irresistible call of routine
training. This takes me back.

What do you say the Black Eagles,
Blue Lions, and Golden Deer have a
little competition, for old times' sake?

Claude Almyras King Face FC
Claudeクロード
Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

It would feel strange to step back
into the role of class leader after

Lysithea
Fjorm Princess of Ice Face FC
Fjorm

I don't understand.

This isn't my favorite conversation

In Fódlan, some people are marked
by the power of Sothis, the
progenitor god.

A person born with that power is said
to bear what's called a Crest.

Lysithea Earnest Seeker Face FC
Lysithea
Fjorm Princess of Ice Face FC
Fjorm

Yes, I have heard of these Crests.
Edelgard, Claude, and Dimitri bear
them as well, right?

They say those who bear Crests
are capable of marvelous things.

Correct. Usually, a person can only
bear one Crest. But in rare cases,
it is possible to bear two.

I am one such case, and...there are
side effects.

I have been told that, because of my
second Crest, I will not be able to
live a long life.

You always seem so calm. I never

How can you live such a normal life
knowing it could end at any time?

It seemed impossible at first.

The decision to sacrifice myself to
save my country was an easy one
when I made it, but...

It is almost worse, being allowed
more time than I expected, because
now I...don't want to die.

To know that I'll have to say goodbye
to all those I've come to love here...
My heart can barely stand it.

For a time, all I could think was...not
today. Please, not today. Let me
stay a little longer.

obliterate one's foe without any
tarnish upon one's own magnificence.

Of course. That stands to reason.

Claude Almyras King Face FC

Narcian Wyvern General Face FC

To that end, a weapon in hand, no

besmirch your reputation.

Not that I, Narcian, ever have need of

Precisely. Survival is all that matters,
so you can't afford to be picky
about your methods.

And since survival is all we care
about, the best outcome is to defeat
your enemy without fighting at all.

To do that, deceive them into fighting
with themselves and each other.
Trick them into traps and ambushes.

Sow enough confusion, and you can
walk away from the battle without
so much as sullying your own hands.

Pulling off a stunt like that requires
careful preparation, I'll bet.

Claude Almyras King Face FC

Better to sacrifice them to win...not
that such tactics are permitted here.

Crests, Prince Alfonse?

Edelgard Adrestian Emperor Face FC

I have heard that they were bestowed
upon the early heroes of Fódlan
by their goddess.

That is what is commonly told.

It is said that the 10 Elites received
these Crests and passed them down
through their bloodlines.

Because of that, the presence or
absence of a Crest became a factor
in determining social status.

Crests have been responsible for the
rise and fall of entire families.

It is interesting to me that bearing

Umm... I guess I haven't thought
about it very much.

Now that you mention it, my brother
and sister were both put in danger
because of their Brands.

But they've also been given the
power to save so many lives!

Looking at the full picture, I'd say
I'm pretty grateful to the goddess.

You've inherited some power from
your bloodline too, haven't you,
Edelgard? Something called a Crest?

Lissa Sprightly Cleric Face FC

Perhaps.

The Crest I've borne since birth has
given me some degree of power.

But I also bear a second Crest.
One that was...inflicted upon me
by other methods.

My Crests are the product of a world
in which the mark of a goddess
determines a person's worth.

That is what such a world is bound

All I spoke to expressed the same
sentiment. The power to save lives
always outweighed the burden.

Yep! That's exactly how I feel.

My belief has always been that it
should be people, and not their gods,
who decide the fate of the world.

For certain individuals to be forced
into power and duty from birth... For
them to be elevated above others...

It is a broken system, and I want
to see it abolished.

Ah...

Being in Askr has not changed my
feelings, but it has shown me that
many feel differently.

Alm, Celica, the royal family of
Ylisse... None of you have resented
your lineage.

Instead, you have used the power
granted to you to help your people.

I suppose, in these cases, we should
at least be grateful that power has
been bestowed upon good people.

Of course!

I would say that power on its own
isn't good or bad. It all comes down
to who's wielding it.

It's true that being born into power
is a huge responsibility. That's all
the more reason to use it wisely!

The world's a big and complicated
place, after all.

It is indeed.

Thank you, Princess Lissa. You have
given me much to think about.

I see I must look beyond my own
experiences if I am to learn all I can
about the potential of people.

And the potential of gods! Some of
them have even come to Askr in
person to help us out, you know!

You can find them milling
about just like anybody else.

Maybe you should try talking to one.
I've heard there's even a goddess
from Fódlan here!

Is that true? Are you sure?

My teacher... There may be a good
deal more for me to learn here than
I anticipated...

Ngh!

These headaches... Once I ascended
the throne of Faerghus, I was certain
they were gone for good...

Why have they returned to me here
in Askr?

"After all is said and done, we are
both murderers. Both stained.
Both monsters."

"I will kill that woman, I swear it."

"Kill every last one of them!"

???
Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitri

Ugh!

The shadow of my bloody past...
haunts me still...

Can these wretched stains never
be washed clean?

Will they torment me as long as I live?

It doesn't matter. However it may
plague me, I must move forward.

I swore a vow. To my friends, to my
people...to the professor as well.

I am the King of Faerghus.
My resolve will not falter.

Do you truly believe your people wish
to be governed by a broken king?

???
Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitri

You are no shadow of my memory!
Who are you?! Identify yourself!

Names are such irrelevant trifles.
But if you must know me by one...

???

You may call me Líf.

No, I am not. And I am no longer
human, either.

I have no heart. No life. No future.

Then what could you possibly want
from me?

You—and the darkness within you—

Your place is on the other side.

What exactly are you getting at?

We are the same.

moment, I would."

Agh! My head...

"Hah...hahahaha! A grievous
error, Professor!"

"The Dimitri you once knew is dead.
All that remains is the repulsive,
blood-stained monster..."

Why are these memories...resurfacing

I was once a prince.

My country came under attack,
and...due to my error, all was lost.

...

Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitri

Líf

My family. My friends. My people.
My entire country...gone.

Such loss is enough to drive anyone
mad. You know this as well as I.

I have never been so arrogant as to
assume I fully grasp another's pain.

However, I...believe I do have some
understanding of what that is like.

We have seen the same darkness.
We belong on the same side.

"Have I caught you off guard,
Your Highness?"

"I bet it hurts reeeeal bad, doesn't it?
But it's nothing compared to what
my brother felt!"

"You will never be forgiven,
you know. I will never forgive you!"

"You filthy monster! It's time
to DIIIIE!"

AAAGH!

...

It's true... I am stained with hatred...
My fury has taken...many lives...

I have heard so many crying out...
for their loved ones...for mercy...
These hands have silenced them...

...

My sins cannot ever be erased,
no matter how much I may torture
myself with guilt.

But to avert my gaze from that fact...
would be an even greater injustice.

No. Come what may, I intend to
spend the rest of my life atoning
for the harm I have caused.

Atoning for the harm you have
caused? Pretty words...if empty ones.

However they may sound to you,
they are words by which I live.

The suffering of the dead does not
die with them. That weight passes on
to those they leave behind.

For the sake of those who survive,
I will do all that I can to heal
the damage I have done.

Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitri
Lif Lethal Swordsman Face FC
Líf

So you will continue to inflict this
pain upon yourself for all your days...

Until your life is used up and, at last,
you perish.

Yes. I am prepared for that.

Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitri
Lif Lethal Swordsman Face FC
Líf

There was a time when I believed
that killing those from another world
could save the people in my own.

That I could somehow balance
the ledger of living and dead.

Do you believe you can do the same,
lion-hearted king?

Those who have been lost cannot
ever be restored. The lives I have
destroyed are gone forever.

I can never cancel out that loss.
But if I try, I can save twice as many
lives as I have taken. Or even more.

Dimitri King of Faerghus Face FC
Dimitri
Lif Lethal Swordsman Face FC
Líf

Interesting.

Best get to work, then...

He's gone...

Just who is this Líf? An illusion to
force me to confront my past, or...

Whatever the case may be,
my course is clear.

I will save twice the number of lives
I have taken. More, if I can.

No matter how painful or difficult
it may be...that will be my path.

So long as even one person is relying
on me, I must not fail. I must not
look away.

If you were here now, Professor,
that is what I would say to you.
That is what I've decided on.
