Askr is indeed a land in crisis. I see
now that our assistance here is
sorely needed.

Wouldn't you agree, Shannan?

なるほどね...
アスク王国が直面している
危機のことはよくわかったわ。

わたしたちがやるべきことも。
そうですよね、シャナン様!

I would. I believe our strength can
make an important difference here.

そうだな...我々の力を必要とし

It is fortuitous we find ourselves in
Askr all at once. Princess Sharena,
please consider us at your disposal.

これも人生という旅で出会った運命のひとつ。
いいでしょう、シャロン王女。
私も力添えさせて頂きます。

I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you!

本当ですか!?
ありがとうございます!

Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC

I've heard that Prince Leif has been
aiding you for some time. It would be
an honor to join our efforts to his.

聞けば、リーフ王子たちも
アスク王国に手を貸していると...
ならば、私たちが断る道理はありません。

You won't be disappointed! After all,
we've got two divine weapons from
the 12 Crusaders of Jugdral with us.

Prince Shannan wields Balmung,
and Lady Altena, Gáe Bolg. They're
more than a match for any enemy!

任せてちょうだい! それに、
シャナン様には神剣バルムンク、

The weapon does not make the
fighter, Larcei. You know that.

A master swordsman has no reason
to fear a legendary blade in the hands
of a novice.

ラクチェ、強力な武器があるからと言って
それが強さにつながるとは限らない。
あくまでも、使い手の心がけ次第だ。

逆を言えば...強力な武器がなくとも
戦う者の心がけ次第で
限界を越えた力を発揮することができる。

Don't worry. I've taken your advice to
heart, and I always stay on my toes.

はい...!

Let's end our training there for today.

Phew... That was intense! Thank you!

Your lance skills are very impressive,
Altena. I learned a lot.

Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharenaシャロン
Larcei Keen Kin Face FC
Larceiラクチェ

Your strength rivals even that of
Prince Shannan. I would expect no
less from the wielder of Gáe Bolg.

If that's all, I will take my leave.

Altena Luminous Rider Face FC
Altenaアルテナ
Sharena Princess of Askr Face Pain
Sharenaシャロン

She left in a hurry...and she looked
distraught. Was it something we said?

It may be the tragedy of Gáe Bolg she
is preoccupied with.

Ced Hero on the Wind Face FC
Cedセティ
Sharena Princess of Askr Face Cool2
Sharenaシャロン

What is the tragedy of Gáe Bolg?

An old Jugdral legend.

Two of the 12 Crusaders who saved
Jugdral were sibling lancers named
Dáinn and Njörun.

Dáinn wielded the heavenly Gungnir,
while Njörun bore the earthly Gáe
Bolg—the very lance Altena carries.

It is said that Njörun killed a loved
one with Gáe Bolg, and then took
her own life.

The lance has been rumored to bring
disaster ever since.

Ced Hero on the Wind Face FC
Cedセティ
Sharena Princess of Askr Face Pain
Sharenaシャロン

What an awful story. But it is just
a legend, isn't it?

Altena is more than well, isn't she?

At the moment, yes. But her father,
Prince Quan, also wielded the
Gáe Bolg...and, well...

He had it when he was killed in front
of his young daughter. And then the
weapon fell into enemy hands.

Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannanシャナン

Yes, I am familiar with the tragedy
of Gáe Bolg. Why do you ask?

I first thought to discard it as a myth,
but the lives the lance has destroyed
make that difficult to do.

It's common to yearn for a powerful
weapon. Less so to understand the
burden of carrying one.

Larcei Keen Kin Face FC
Larceiラクチェ
Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannanシャナン

Indeed. Balmung is no different from
Gáe Bolg in that regard. I have faced
much suffering to wield it.

Could that suffering have been a test
of your worth, somehow? A trial?

Larcei Keen Kin Face FC
Larceiラクチェ
Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannanシャナン

Perhaps not literally, but I find it
helpful to think of it that way.

Balmung may be strong beyond
compare, but to think only of its
strength is to do it a disservice.

The weapons of the Crusaders are
more significant than that. Each bears
the legacy of a person of conviction.

You're saying the weapon carries the
convictions of the Crusader who first
wielded it?

Larcei Keen Kin Face FC
Larceiラクチェ
Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannanシャナン

Yes. And its inheritor is obligated to
carry those convictions forward.

To put a stop to tragedy. To fight for
a brighter future. That is the duty of
anyone who wields Balmung.

And that sentiment has a greater
reach than any sword. I'm beginning
to understand.

Larcei Keen Kin Face FC
Larceiラクチェ
Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannanシャナン

Indeed. Whatever I do with the blade,
its legacy will carry forward to the
generation that comes after me.

That is why I must live a life worthy
of those who came before me.

Only then can I pass Balmung on, in
good conscience, to the person who
will succeed me.

Altena must feel the same way.

Larcei Keen Kin Face FC
Larceiラクチェ
Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannanシャナン

Indeed, she must. But she also bears
an additional weight.

If there is anyone who can overcome
the tragedy of Gáe Bolg, it is Altena.

Yes! Agreed!

Background image: 002_PlainForestInside
Larcei Keen Kin Face FC
Larceiラクチェ

I used to want nothing more than to
have a legendary blade like Balmung.
Now I'm not so sure.

Prince Shannan helped me realize
that carrying a divine weapon is a
great burden. And a solemn duty.

You must have the conviction to live
up to the legacy of all those who
wielded it before you.

Well said. I was not ignorant of that
burden when I took up this lance.

In the time since, however, I've come
to understand just how daunting and
lonesome an obligation it truly is.

If my fate takes the shape of the
tragedy of Gáe Bolg, it will be up to
me alone to overcome it.

And that tragedy is not the only
weight I carry, either.

I must also think of the wish for
peace that the lance's first wielder,
Njörun, so earnestly held.

Altena Luminous Rider Face FC
Altenaアルテナ
Ced Hero on the Wind Face FC
Cedセティ

True, but you are mistaken about one
thing, Altena. You are not alone.

He is right. No one cuts a path all on
their own. We lean on each other.

Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannanシャナン
Larcei Keen Kin Face FC
Larceiラクチェ

I'm sure Prince Leif would agree.
And the people of Askr too!

It is possible, even working together,
that we might fail.

But even then, so long as we pass
our convictions on...we will have the
aid of those who succeed us also.

Ced Hero on the Wind Face FC
Cedセティ
Altena Luminous Rider Face FC
Altenaアルテナ

You're right. One day, the world will
know peace, and divine weapons like
the ones we bear can rest forever.

Until then, let us continue forward on
the path laid out before us.

Ow! OK, you win... Ugh, how did you
turn that back around on me? It's like
you're in my head.

I thought my timing was perfect, but
you put me in my place with only
one move...

Your vigor, while commendable,
makes you easy to read.

Intensity alone will not win you many
battles. Until you understand that,
I fear you are not ready.

Not ready?! I may have lost to you
this time, but I can hold my own
against anyone.

I'm a full-fledged swordswoman—I've
been through all the training!

The battlefield does not respect what
you've been through, Larcei. It only
respects the immediate result.

Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannan
Larcei Keen Kin Face FC
Larcei

Fine. If that is how you feel, I will
give you a better result.

Let's have a rematch one week from
now. And when I win, you will stop
treating me like a child.

Very well. But if you lose, you will
continue to train without complaint
until you are truly ready.

Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannan
Larcei Keen Kin Face FC

Won't happen. See you in a week.

Right, I can do this...can't I? I only

I've only got a week to prepare for
this rematch. I'd better train as hard
as I can until then.

Ugh, I don't even know where
to begin...

Hi there! You're the new girl from
Jugdral, right? You look like you've
got something on your mind.

Want to talk about it? I'm Soleil, by
the way. Maybe I can help!

Nice to meet you, Soleil. I'm Larcei.
I notice you're wearing a sword

It so happens I have a difficult bout
coming up. I'm not sure how to go
about preparing for it.

No problem! I know a great place for
you to find training partners.

Come on—there's bound to be
somebody who can help you!

We're all friends here, so you can

I am sure I would learn a lot. You are

I am used to the familiarity of training

Larcei

What will I...do? That's...an interesting
question. I don't know.

It feels like such a distant goal that
I've never even considered what
comes next.

Seems wasteful to me. Why tie your
potential to his?

Personally, I aim to push myself to
my absolute limit. I want to reach
for perfection!

Mia Lady of Blades Face FC
Mia
Larcei Keen Kin Face FC
Larcei

I hadn't thought of it that way.

Maybe your true goal will only reveal
itself after you've surpassed this rival

You've got to keep on challenging
yourself, though. You don't want
to get complacent!

Mia Lady of Blades Face FC

Soleil Adorable Adorer Face FC
Soleil

Absolutely right. You can't ever rest
on your laurels.

I mean, look at how many cute girls
there are in Askr alone.

And with limitless worlds come
limitless cuties!

Could you imagine if I contented
myself with just a few of those girls?
No way—I've got to meet them all!

That is, um...an interesting view...

Agh! So close... But I've lost again...

Somehow your swordwork is even

You made a valiant effort. Had I not
reconsidered my own technique,
you may very well have won.

As you said, however, what matters
is the result. I will continue to train
with you, as promised.

In terms of raw strength and skill,
Larcei, you are more than ready
for the battlefield.

What you need to temper now is your
heart. You must study patience,
resolve, and discipline.

Hone those as well as you've honed
your sword technique, and you will
be a force to be reckoned with.

Prince Shannan... You may be ahead
of me for now, but I will not give up.

Whatever it takes to become your
equal, to best you in the end...

turn that back around on me? It's like

respects the immediate result.

Fine. If that is how you feel, I will

continue to train without complaint
until you are truly ready.

So, you want me to introduce you to

A unique style... Sure, I can make
that happen.

In fact, I know just the right person.
Come on—I think he's training in the

You must be Owain, wielder of the
blade Missiletainn. I am Shannan, of

Shannan
Owain Chosen One Face FC
Owain

Say no more. The raging spirit of your
divine blade. That hungry gleam in
your eye. I understand completely.

You've come seeking an opponent
worthy of your sword.

and already you see its nature.
Commander Anna's praise was apt.

I hope you are as powerful as you
are perceptive.

Ha! Much more! If I could gaze into

If I draw this blade, I...won't be able

Does your sword truly hold that
kind of power?

Owain

Sorry, Shannan, but this match will
have to wait until... Ngh! Be still now,

I cannot allow this blade to seize my
destiny... Farewell, for now!

...

Power corrupts, as they say. If I fail
to be cautious, that could just as well
be me.

I must be mindful not to let Balmung
overmaster me in the same way...

Yes, I am Ryoma of Hoshido, wielder
of Raijinto.

I've heard you are the bearer of the

I would consider it an honor to cross
swords with you.

You and your weapon seem to exist
in perfect harmony. My search for
the ideal opponent may be at an end.

a great deal today.

Raijinto is a sight to behold.

With every strike, I could feel the
sword's history and significance.

Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannan
Ryoma Peerless Samurai Face FC
Ryoma

It's been an heirloom in Hoshido's
royal family for generations.

What you sensed was the will of my
ancestors driving the blade.

It is the same with Balmung, is it not?

It is.

Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannan
Ryoma Peerless Samurai Face FC
Ryoma

Raijinto was passed down to me by
Sumeragi, Hoshido's previous king
and my father.

My inheritance is not merely the
sword, but also his will within it.

The sparks that issue forth from it
are a manifestation of that will,
it seems.

Shannan Wielder of Astra Face FC
Shannan
Ryoma Peerless Samurai Face FC
Ryoma

Yes. And because Raijinto carries this
legacy, I must continually strive to be
worthy of receiving it.

For the sake of my siblings, and all
those I seek to protect, my weapon
and I must remain in harmony.

I must say, Ryoma, I feel a certain
kinship with you.

I, too, have inherited a weapon with
a significant legacy...

Seeing as we have this in common,
I would be much obliged if we could
continue to practice together.

truly become strong.

The blood of great swordsmen runs
in our veins. We must live up to that
noble legacy.

We must develop our gifts, use them
to protect the ones we care about,
and pass that legacy on.

The tale of your valor is well-known
here in Askr, Ced.

Unable to turn from those in need,
you stood against a powerful foe.
They call you the Hero on the Wind.

A lofty moniker that does not suit me.
I am no hero.

Ced Hero on the Wind Face FC

Alfonse Prince of Askr Face FC

From what I've heard of your deeds,
you more than earned it.

I have earned no more than any of

And if I had, I would discard it. A title
like that is too heavy a burden.

Ced Hero on the Wind Face FC

It is true that I once fought for the
people of Munster.

But that was more a matter of
circumstance than anything else.

Their plight was not what brought me
there. I had only been searching for
my missing father.

Are you suggesting that your heroic
story was merely the result of
a coincidence?

Alfonse Prince of Askr Face FC
Alfonse
Ced Hero on the Wind Face FC
Ced

A true hero would have set out to
end the Empire's oppression from
the very beginning.

If I had done that, then many children
would have been saved from anguish
and imprisonment. I failed them.

...

Alfonse Prince of Askr Face FC
Alfonse
Ced Hero on the Wind Face FC
Ced

Heroes like Lord Seliph possess an
unshakeable resolve to defend those
who cannot defend themselves.

Someone like that would have done
right by those people from the start.

Someone like you, Prince Alfonse.
You have a far greater right to the
title of hero than I ever will.

Nonsense. I have a long way to go.

That is made clear to me each and
every time I join the Heroes in battle.

And that is also why I make it a point
to study the examples of heroic
individuals such as yourself.

Your command of the battlefield is as
strong as I have seen, Prince Alfonse.

The way you took up the charge on
the vanguard was inspiring.

With your charisma and unshakable
will, it is no wonder that so many
follow you so devotedly.

It is more to their credit than mine.

Any of the Heroes, including you,
would have made the same choices
in my position.

My being in that position is largely a
product of circumstances, just as it
was with you.

But it is the choices we make within
our circumstances that matter most.

That is a fair point. Yes, I could have.

Yet you chose the difficult path,
because you could not stand to
see others suffer.

At least as much as me.

Alfonse Prince of Askr Face FC

On the contrary, it is you who ever
works to lift up those around you.
That is what heroes do.

Within you, I see the same strength of
character and leadership that I have
seen in Lords Seliph and Leif.

You shine hope, like a beacon, on all
those around you.

As I've said, I have a long way to go.

With each step along my path, I can
only hope that I stumble occasionally
into doing the right thing.

I cannot say that you have changed

There are many threats facing Askr

to help.

If that means joining the Heroes, then
I would be foolish not to do that.

I am happy to hear you say so.

I may be as helpless as anyone else,

no doubt you will follow through.

Askr your strength.

Ah... May I ask why?

When I was summoned to this world,

The Heroes I meet may seem familiar,
but they are not necessarily from the
same world as my own.

Regardless of any resemblance, the
Prince Quan in the castle hall is not

No, please don't apologize. I admit
I am curious, but you should not feel
you have to discuss it with me.

You deserve to know the truth.

My father, Prince Quan of Leonster,
was a proud knight who aspired to
unite the Thracian peninsula.

The country of Thracia considered
him a bitter enemy. He fell in battle
against them.

Altena Luminous Rider Face FC

That's awful...

My father's elite fighting force, the
Lanceritter, was annihilated. And my
mother...she was killed as well.

King Travant of Thracia pierced my
father's heart with Gáe Bolg's divine
counterpart, Gungnir.

He took Gáe Bolg along with me, and
raised me as if I were his daughter.

Travant took both my parents from
me. Worse, he sought to destroy
my home country.

Nevertheless...from a very young age,

villain, but he was fully willing to sully
his reputation to achieve his goals...

...

In my ignorance, I respected him.

He cared for me as if I were his true
daughter. Educated me. Trained me
as a knight.

I know now he was my enemy. I do
despise him... But how can I face my
birth father, after all of that?

I understand why you are uneasy.
The truth would certainly be painful
for him to learn.

But these conflicting feelings of yours
are all the more reason for you to
meet Prince Quan!

A daughter cannot be undeserving of
a father, Princess Altena.

Fjorm Princess of Ice Face Pain

nothing but warmth and kindness.

If anything, I have gotten too heated
up over this. I am sincerely sorry.

Not at all. Perhaps a warm heart is
needed to survive a cold, harsh land.

By the same token, a gentle place can
give rise to a stern soul.
