Decided Future/Story

Decided Future - Opening

English・Japanese

Tatianaティータ	What a wonder Askr is. I've never seen so many heroic figures all gathered in one place!		アスク王国ってすごいのね...。 あんなにたくさんの英雄を 見たのははじめて...
It's true. I've seen many things in my travels and fought my fair share of battles, but... Before now, the largest battles I had experienced had only a few people of such a caliber on either side. Seeing so many Heroes gathered together is a thrill!		私もいくつかの戦いに 参加したことがあるけど... あれほどの名だたる英雄たちが 揃っているところは見たことないわ。 なんとも壮観ね。		Pallaパオラ
Luthierリュート	Askr may be blessed with strength in numbers, but that doesn't make it invincible. Far from it, in fact. As we have seen, dangers continue stalking the kingdom even with this many Heroes at its defense.		裏を返せば、それだけの 英雄が集まっているというのに 危機は去っていないということだろう。 この世界での戦い... さぞや厳しいものになるだろうな。
This many Heroes...		......		Tatianaティータ
Zekeジーク	It is unusual for you to look so solemn, Tatiana... Is something wrong? What worries you?		どうしたティータ。 珍しいな。君が神妙な顔をするなんて。
Oh, Zeke... It's just... Well... With all of the Heroes here, it's likely at least one of them knows about your past, right?		あのね、ジーク... 私、思ったの。 これだけ英雄がいるなら ジークの素性を知っている人も いるんじゃないか、って。		Tatianaティータ
Zekeジーク	Perhaps... Perhaps not...		......
Ah... So, you are inflicted with an unfortunate case of amnesia, eh?		ジーク、お前... 記憶を失っていたんだったな。		Luthierリュート
Tatianaティータ	I found him washed up on the shore, on the brink of death, but I nursed him back to health. Even though I restored his body, I couldn't heal his memory. He had to start over... A new life...		傷を負って海岸で倒れていた ジークを、私が見つけたの。 命は助かったけど... 怪我のせいか、記憶は戻らなかった...
I was unable to remember even my own name. Emperor Rudolf, in his benevolence, gave me this one. It was also he who recognized the one vestige of my former life: my skill with a lance.		このジークという名前も ルドルフ陛下に付けていただいたもの。 私が唯一覚えているのは... 槍の使い方だけだった。		Zekeジーク
Pallaパオラ	...		......
When we fell in love, I prayed he would never remember his past... or any lover he left behind. The other clerics said such selfish desires would never sway the will of the divine.		私ね、こう願ったことがあるの。 ジークの記憶が戻らなければ ずっと一緒に居られるかもしれないって。 でも、シスターがそんなこと 願っちゃダメだよね。 きっと神様は、許してくれないよ。		Tatianaティータ
Zekeジーク	Tatiana, that's—		ティータ...
I want what's best for Zeke, so... I thought we could ask around to see what we might learn. Will you help me, Palla? And you too, Luthier! For Zeke?		だから、ジークのことを知っている 英雄を探してみようと思うの。 リュート、パオラ。力を貸して！ ね？　ダメかな？		Tatianaティータ
Luthierリュート	I will do what I can, but I know just as much about this place as any of you three do.		お、俺は別にかまわんが... 特段知り合いもいないし あまり力にはなれないと思うぞ。
Palla, you've been all over Valentia and beyond in your travels, right? Do you have any idea where to start?		パオラはどう？ バレンシア大陸だけじゃなく 隣の大陸のことも詳しいんだよね？		Tatianaティータ
Pallaパオラ	Hm. I suppose you have a point. Let me think, and I'll see what I can come up with. ... ...Who would possibly know more about his early life? Hmm...		そ、そうね...いいわよ。 私でよければ、力になるわ。 ...... ...私の記憶が正しければ... ...ジークが失った過去というのは...

Decided Future - C

English・Japanese

Pallaパオラ	Princess Minerva, might we speak for a moment?
Of course, Palla... How has life in Askr been treating you?				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	Very well, thank you. Commander Anna and my sisters have seen to making me comfortable here... Speaking of new lives here in Askr... Can you recall the soldier I arrived here with?
Ah. You mean the one who calls himself Zeke? He may not remember me, but I will not soon forget him.				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	That’s what I thought... A cleric named Tatiana is seeking answers about his past. Should we tell her what we know?
You arrived here from Valentia, didn’t you? Spending time there with your sisters?				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	Well, yes. Catria and I couldn’t very well have left Est to her kidnappers.
This may come as a shock, but not long after you return, Archanea again erupts into war.				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	Wh-what?! I thought we put all that bloody business behind us for good!
I can only speak of my own world, of course. Perhaps different events transpire in yours... I bring this up because it was in that new conflict that I met the man this Zeke becomes.				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	He must have remembered who he was by that point, right?
I cannot say... But he hid his face behind a mask and lent his strength to Prince Marth under a new name.				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	Well, that all but confirms it! Wouldn’t it be better for him to learn the truth sooner rather than later?
No. He must discover these things in his own way, in his own time. And his past and future selves are in Askr. For all we know, they may have their own feelings on the matter—or even their own plan.				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	You’re right. Thank you for taking the time to discuss this with me... I will take your counsel under advisement.

Decided Future - B

English・Japanese

Luthierリュート	...And that’s how I got roped into helping Zeke regain his memories.
Huh... Amnesia, is it? There sure are a lot of amnesiacs here, come to think of it...but none of them seem to mind much.				Deltheaデューテ
Luthierリュート	Well, in this case, it isn’t up to us anyway. But I figured we could try doing what we do best: we could search for a magical solution to the problem! What do you say? Help your poor brother out of a bind...
I could help, but...this seems like a great opportunity for you to make some friends! Don’t think I haven’t seen you taking your meals alone in the corner.				Deltheaデューテ
Luthierリュート	Th-that has nothing to do with this!
Sure. Anyway, I just remembered a...uh...urgent thing I...need to do. I’m sure you’ll do great, Luthier!				Deltheaデューテ
Luthierリュート	Huh? Hey, where are you— Get back here! Hmph. Fine. If that’s how you want to be... Cracking this case can’t be that hard, can it? All I have to do is... ...figure out how to... ...do something no mage has ever done before. Ugh... What have I gotten myself into? I suppose I could experiment on Zeke, but...who knows what might happen if I tried... Actually, does Zeke even want his memories back? Tatiana wants to find out FOR him, of course, but... I guess I’ll take Delthea’s hint and just ask Zeke himself.

Decided Future - A

English・Japanese

Zekeジーク	Thus far, I’ve let sleeping dogs lie for fear of what I may awaken.
Yes... Bit of a conundrum...				Luthierリュート
Zekeジーク	My desire to learn of my past has always been tempered by the potential consequences. I’m sorry... I know Tatiana asked you to do this for her, but—
Well, I’d wager I’d get just as much out of it as she would. Imagine the strides I could make in research of long-term memory, for example! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Say your memory did return... What would change?				Luthierリュート
Zekeジーク	Simply put, nothing. I will do what I’ve always done either way... Risking my life to protect those I hold dear is who I am.
I see. That makes sense, logically. If you already have a direction, knowing where you came from isn’t as important. Is that it? If your future is already decided, nothing in your past can change it.				Luthierリュート
Zekeジーク	I’m glad my reasoning is clear. And I appreciate your opinion. So, thank you for your counsel, Luthier. You are wise beyond your years. I will seek you out for advice in the future. I need more friends who can offer wise counsel.
...Friend? You’re talking about me?! R-right! Of course! ...Which brings my grand total up to...four? Five? ...Wow!				Luthierリュート
Tatianaティータ	Palla! There you are. I’ve been looking everywhere for you.
Is this about Zeke’s memory?				Pallaパオラ
Tatianaティータ	Yes. You don’t need to worry about any of that. Zeke and I talked it over, and we’re ending the search. We’ve resolved to live here in the present—both for each other, and for Askr.
I see... Sticking to the present, then. Then his past no longer haunts him.				Pallaパオラ
Tatianaティータ	We need each other now more than ever before. No matter what the future holds for us... No matter what he remembers, my feelings for him won’t change.
Your resolve is admirable. There are not many who can face matters of the heart so head-on. That attitude will surely carry you and Zeke through whatever lies ahead on your journey together.				Pallaパオラ
Tatianaティータ	Thank you... I know that together, we can overcome anything that stands in our way. And with support from you and everyone else, our future is a bright one indeed!
