Driven by Vision - Opening

English・Japanese


Selenaセライナ	I'd like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude at your company, Princess Sharena.		シャロン王女... 遠征訓練にご同行いただきありがとうございました。
N-no need to be so formal! Of course I'm happy to join in and show you all around Askr as part of your training.		そ、そんなに、かしこまらなくても！訓練はもちろん、今回の遠征はアスク王国の案内を兼ねていますので。		Sharenaシャロン
Duesselデュッセル	It may be another world, but the lives of the common folk aren't so different. Striking, really.		異界であっても、暮らしを営む民は我らがいた大陸の民と変わらぬ... それがわかっただけでも収穫であった。
Their work supports and moves the entire country. Not only as it is now but into the future... Protecting those building a future for themselves and their children must surely be why we're here.		彼らの日々の働きが国を作り子を産み、育て、歴史を繋いでいく... 明日に夢を描く民たちを守るため私たちはこの世界に呼ばれたのでしょうね。		Natashaナターシャ
Sharenaシャロン	Hearing that warms my heart! Now, shall we head back? Getting home in one piece is part of the training too!		そう言ってもらえて、うれしいです！それではお城へ帰りましょう。無事に帰るのも訓練ですからね！
Hm? What's this now... A villager? It appears they want our attention.		おや？あれは近くの村人でしょうか。なにやらこちらを呼んでいるようですが...		Knollノール
Sharenaシャロン	Hm... I wonder what the problem could be. I'll go talk to them.		むむっ、どうしたんでしょうか？ちょっと話を聞いてきますね。

Sharenaシャロン	Th-this is bad news! Bandits have crossed the border and are making a beeline toward nearby villages.		た、大変ですっ...！賊が国境を越えて近くの村に近づいているようです。
Cowards threaten the innocent in every world it would seem.		なんと... おのれ、民を脅かす不逞の輩がアスクにも蔓延っておるとは。		Duesselデュッセル
Sharenaシャロン	There are two villages near the border, a larger town along the river and a smaller valley community.		国境の近くには、２つの村があります。川辺にある大きな村と... 谷間にある小さな村です！
Which is closest to the border?		国境からはどちらの村が近いのでしょう？		Selenaセライナ
Sharenaシャロン	The valley. The bandits are sure to target them first!		谷間にある小さな村です。賊が最初に狙うとしたらきっとその村だと思います！
Then there's no time to lose. Let's move out!		一刻の猶予もないようですね。急いで参りましょう。		Natashaナターシャ
Knollノール	Just a moment, Natasha... Princess Sharena, I don't suppose you have a map of the area I could examine, do you?		ナターシャ殿、少しお待ちを... シャロン王女、周辺の地図があれば拝見したいのですが。
I have one right here! Look it over.		はいっ！こちらが地図になります。		Sharenaシャロン
Knollノール	Hm...		............

Driven by Vision - C

English・Japanese


Knollノール	I see... It's quite a distance between our current position and the village in the valley.
And to make matters worse, the villagers said the bandits have mages among them too.		Sharenaシャロン
Duesselデュッセル	Even alone I could handle ten, perhaps 20 bandits, but mages are an entirely different problem...
We would be best served to think of them not as mere bandits but as a group of trained mercenaries.		Selenaセライナ
Knollノール	Judging from this map, we have three potential strategies to choose from. First, we can head directly to aid the valley settlement. Second, we can head to the larger village on the river and prepare to defend against assault.
What?! You mean sacrificing the people in the valley?		Natashaナターシャ
Knollノール	We may not make it in time to help them as it is. And there's a chance we arrive only to be overwhelmed. And if we fall, the people of the river village would share the fate of those in the valley. If we make for the riverside, we will be sure to save both ourselves and the village there as well.
... We will find a way. We cannot just turn our backs and leave those people to suffer. Lives must never be weighed against one another, for each is precious in and of itself... That is what His Majesty would say.		Selenaセライナ
Sharenaシャロン	You said there were three strategies, didn't you, Knoll? You never told us the third one...
The third option is, I go to the border as a decoy to lure the bandits away. And while I have them distracted, you all evacuate everyone from the valley before the bandits arrive.		Knollノール

Driven by Vision - B

English・Japanese


Natashaナターシャ	You're suggesting we use you as the decoy, Knoll? No... That's just too dangerous! There must be some o—
It's not as if I'm defenseless. I know something about the use of dark magic to confound my foes. Besides...my life is already over. I'm bound for the executioner's block. It's little more than coincidence that I'm here and alive now.		Knollノール
Selenaセライナ	You were sentenced because you told Prince Lyon he was making a mistake. That is no crime!
I aided in the destruction of the Sacred Stones and played a role in bringing chaos down upon Grado. That cannot be denied, and coming to Askr does not erase my guilt.		Knollノール
Duesselデュッセル	... Knoll, you once told me a—oh, what did you call it—a "foreign anecdote of a comedic nature," if I recall...
The one involving the two starving men and the one piece of bread... And if they were to break the loaf in two, both would die of starvation. That is the one you mean, yes?		Knollノール
Duesselデュッセル	Right. If either tried to save the other, both would die. But the sacrifice of one allows the other to live... And yet, here you are...
I am aware the task I have presented myself with will not be easy. However, I do not wish to concede any more than I already have. I need to believe something. I need purpose. And my purpose here and now is to bring about the dream of Prince Lyon—to save everyone.		Knollノール
Natashaナターシャ	Let me come with you! I will keep you safe on the battlefield if you'd have me, Master Knoll.
There is no guarantee of survival.		Selenaセライナ
Natashaナターシャ	I understand. That is a reality I am prepared for. I won't get in the way.
No. Knoll, Selena, and I will act as the distraction. Princess Sharena, Natasha—you two evacuate the villagers.		Duesselデュッセル
Knollノール	General Duessel! You do need not risk yourself on my account.
You would have Selena the Fluorspar and Duessel the Obsidian of Grado's Imperial Three stand idly by? Hmph.		Selenaセライナ
Duesselデュッセル	Do you approve of this course, Princess Sharena?
Yes! Let's get moving, and stay focused. Remember, making it back is part of the training.		Sharenaシャロン

Driven by Vision - A

English・Japanese


Knollノール	Hm. More bandits than anticipated, it appears...
Still, if we don't act now, this lot will easily overrun the village.		Duesselデュッセル
Selenaセライナ	We have to do our part or the village won't stand a chance.
We knew it would be dangerous. Now, Generals...add your power to mine!		Knollノール

Fjormフィヨルム	Princess Sharena, are you all right? We came to provide backup!
I was expecting to see Duessel and the others here...		Ephraimエフラム
Sharenaシャロン	I'm glad you made it!
Where are these bandits? I'll show them their place.		Cormagクーガー
Ameliaアメリア	Bandits laid waste to my village, so I refuse to stand by and let it happen here!
Oh! Umm...		Sharenaシャロン
Natashaナターシャ	The villagers are safe. Thanks to Master Knoll, General Duessel, and General Selena, the bandits dispersed.
I should've expected as much from General Duessel! After coming out here to help him as thanks for everything, he's handled it all without us!		Ameliaアメリア
Duesselデュッセル	Greetings! Aha, so you all came, did you? My apologies if I had you worried.
Are you hurt, Duessel? Any injuries? And Knoll and General Selena?		Ephraimエフラム
Selenaセライナ	Your concern is appreciated, Prince Ephraim. The battle was hard fought, but as you can see, we are unharmed.
I'm proud of you, Knoll. I heard you are to thank for keeping the villages here safe.		Lyonリオン
Knollノール	P-Prince Lyon! You have been summoned to Askr too?
It was a tough choice you made, yet you made it with conviction. And your courage was rewarded.		Lyonリオン
Knollノール	Prince Lyon...in my world, I chose one of two paths. And the path I chose ended in tragedy. If I had acted with more conviction, perhaps a new way would have opened to me. Perhaps I could have lived without this burden of regret...
...		Lyonリオン
Knollノール	Prince Lyon... Please allow me to ask one thing from you. Never stop moving toward your dream. Never give up your vision of your world's future.
One needs only to reflect on their time in Askr to find a new approach to the problems our worlds pose.		Duesselデュッセル
Selenaセライナ	I have faith you can change the destiny of your world without making a sacrifice of the weak.
I don't know what promises I can make when it comes to after I leave this place, but...I will remember this. I will not forsake all I have learned, though I have no doubt it will be a challenge. It will be a fine test of my limits.		Lyonリオン
