Dueling Desires/Story

Dueling Desires - Opening

English・Japanese

Aversaインバース	What a beautiful day! I know...now's my chance to get to know 【Summoner】 better... A lot better.		ふふ、【Summoner】と 今日も親交を深めようかしら。 念入りに...ね。
Oh, 【Summoner】... I can't find you anywhere! You should know better than to try and hide from me, dearie. How naughty you are!		あら、【Summoner】の 姿が見えないわ。私の目の届かない ところに行くなんて、いけない子ねえ？		Lokiロキ
Kliffクリフ	Are you two...sisters? Cousins maybe?		ねぇ、インバースとロキって ひょっとして姉妹かなに か？ 血のつながりがあったりするの？
There must be something wrong with your eyes, little boy. We don't look a thing alike.		坊や... その目は飾りかしら？ この女とこの私... 似ても似つかないでしょ？		Aversaインバース
Kliffクリフ	It's not your looks, exactly... But there is something about the two of you. It's eerie.		だって雰囲気が似てるっていうか... 性格もそっくりだし。
Oh, my. Is that so? I think you'll find there's one big difference between us. You see...【Summoner】 likes just ONE of us.		あらん、そ う？ でも、二人には とっても大きな違いがあるの。 だって、【Summoner】の 本当のお気に入りは 一人だけ...だもの、ねえ？		Lokiロキ
Aversaインバース	And I imagine you think that it's you... What a show-off.		あら...？ それは、自分の方が上だって 言いたいのかしらぁ？
We're like two peas in a very cozy pod, 【Summoner】 and I... I'm much more charming than you are, dear. And I'm obviously so much stronger. We make a perfect pair.		【Summoner】に ふさわしいのは私... そこは譲れないところよねえ。 だって、強くて魅力的な相手の方が 【Summoner】にとっても 良いことよねえ？		Lokiロキ
Aversaインバース	Stronger? I think we had better see about that.		ふぅん... じゃあ、どっちが強いか... 試してみるのはどうかしら？
You want to fight me? How adorable. I'll just have to kill you, then... Too bad, I suppose, but I must do what I have to...for 【Summoner】.		あらん。 それは、【Summoner】を あなたと奪い合うということ？ 残念、ねえ。 あなたを殺さないと いけないみたい...		Lokiロキ
Owainウード	Ladies! We are allies here, bound by fate! You must not quarrel! And you certainly can't kill one another!		ま、待て待て！ 味方同士で殺し合おうとするな！ その荒んだ精神に反応し 怨恨の邪霊たちが顕現してしまう！
That's...quaint.		？？ ちょっと何言ってるか わからないけれど...		Lokiロキ
Aversaインバース	Owain. So you were summoned too. Sniveling as usual, I see.		ウード、あなたも召喚されてたのね。 この世界に来てもその痛々しい性格は 変わらないのね...
Sniveling? The chosen one does not snivel! Now, as we have gathered under one flag as allies, it makes no sense to fight each other! I have an idea... If you would fight, prove your worth on the battlefield. Surely THAT would impress 【Summoner】!		選ばれし勇者に 痛々しいとか言うのは やめてもらおうか！ ともか く！　俺たちは同じ旗のもとに 集う仲間。互いを傷つけ合うような 愚かしい真似はやめるんだ！ 仲間同士が競うなら 【Summoner】のために 戦場で武功を立てればいい！		Owainウード
Lokiロキ	You do have something there, dear... I can prove just how strong I am. That sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it?		ふふ、戦場で武功を競う 勝負というわけ...？ 面白そうな遊び、ねえ？
I accept the challenge!		もちろん、 私も受けて立つわよ。		Aversaインバース
Owainウード	Then so it shall be! And I, Dark Swordsman, and Kliff, Villager Ablaze, shall decide!		決まりだな！　どちらが活躍できるか 闇の戦士の俺と光の村人のクリフが 判定してやろう！
Me? Don't try to rope me into this. And "Villager Ablaze"? What is that?		は？　なんで僕まで... 関わりたくないんだけど。 っていうか、光の村人ってなに？		Kliffクリフ
Owainウード	Only a village-dweller of the utmost consequence, snagged in the skein of fate, could be...Villager Ablaze! Your portentous utterances touched off this contest of wills! You must see it through to the bitter end!		光の村人は 神に選ばれし村人の称号だ。 ありがたく拝命するがいい。 今回そもそも、ふたりが張り合う 原因を作ったのはお前だろう？ 責任をもって付き合ってもらうぞ。
What...are...you...talking...about?		ええー...		Kliffクリフ

Dueling Desires - C

English・Japanese

Aversaインバース	Look at their disarray! It's as if they are begging for me to annihilate them.		ふん、そんな単純な陣形で 攻め入るなんて、倒してくださいって 言ってるのかしらぁ？
That can't be all of them... Where are the rest? I want to linger over this... and destroy them all, one by one.		さあ、次の敵はどこかしら。 一人残らず、 可愛がってあげないと、ねえ...？		Lokiロキ
Annaアンナ	These two are really something. It's almost like they're competing!		す、すごいわね、あのふたり。 まるで張り合うようにして 敵を蹴散らしてるけど。
They are, in fact, in a contest to see who can accomplish more on the battlefield.		それが... 戦場でどちらが活躍できるか 競っているらしく...		Alfonseアルフォンス
Sharenaシャロン	They're fighting for the affection of 【Summoner】!		なんでも勝った方が 【Summoner】さんの想いを 手に入れられるらしいです!
They what?! When did this start? No, never mind...		な、なによそれ...！？ いつの間にそんな話に...		Annaアンナ
The upshot is that two powerful Heroes are motivated to give their all. That's not a bad thing.		でも、まあ... あれだけの力を持つ英雄が やる気になってくれるのは身いわね。		Annaアンナ
OK! Let's see where this goes. Don't tell 【Summoner】!		いいわ！ 【Summoner】には内緒で このままどんどん行きましょ。		Annaアンナ
Alfonseアルフォンス	I don't like the way the enemy is moving. We'd best be wary of any tricks.		ただ、敵軍の動きには 不可解な点があります。 警戒を怠らないようにしましょう。
We can't let our guard down. We must advance cautiously!		確かに、油断は禁物ね。 警戒を怠らずに どんどん行くわよ！		Annaアンナ
Kliffクリフ	Owain... What did you get us into? If they can't get along, let them fight.		...ウードはどうしてこんな 面倒くさいことをやらせるの？ 別に、お互いに気に食わないっていうなら 好きにさせればいいのに。
The power of this pair... It's like a volcano spewing scalding lava on our enemies! This competition...it has drawn out an all-consuming hunger for triumph! Our enemies will be trampled! This devious tactic could only have sprung from beyond the veil of shadows...the mind of Owain Dark!		ふっ... 彼女たちの 闘争心をうまく活かせば 荒れ狂う力となって敵を蹂躙する... 負けたくないという気持ちが 平時よりも苛烈な力を引き出し 活火山のごとき相乗効果を生むのだ！ このような闇の策略は 漆黒のウードならではのもの！		Owainウード
Kliffクリフ	Using 【Summoner】 as bait... This could backfire.		でもいいの？ 【Summoner】のこと 賞品みたいにしちゃって。
Battle demands sacrifices! Like any true warrior, I have no doubt that 【Summoner】 understands.		戦いには犠牲がつきもの... 【Summoner】も 覚悟しているはず。問題ない！		Owainウード
Kliffクリフ	You may have no doubts, but I have plenty.		いや、あるでしょ。 本当にうまくいくのかな...？

Dueling Desires - B

English・Japanese

Lokiロキ	Well, well. That's all of them, isn't it?
And now for the verdict. Who's better?				Aversaインバース
Owainウード	The stars are misaligned. A cosmic miasma grips my brain... I cannot choose a winner! Villager Ablaze! Fate calls upon you. Proclaim the victor!
What? Me?				Kliffクリフ
Aversaインバース	Let us hear it, then. The result should be clear.
Tell us, dear. Just let one little word fall from your lips... It's not hard, is it?				Lokiロキ
Kliffクリフ	Get back! Both of you!
I need you to listen! Something terrible has happened!				Sharenaシャロン
Lokiロキ	Something terrible is about to happen here, too... Maybe. Hee-hee.
They have 【Summoner】!				Sharenaシャロン
Aversaインバース	What did you say?!
We noticed that the enemy's movements were unusual... It was all a ploy to capture our summoner! Commander Anna and my brother are chasing them now!				Sharenaシャロン
Lokiロキ	Oh dear. That IS terrible. We had better hurry after them.
We must first consider the situation. Thoughtlessness could prove fatal. Do we have a map of the area?				Aversaインバース
Sharenaシャロン	Ye—yes! Right here!
Look closely. With terrain like this, a small group could pursue them with ease.				Aversaインバース
Lokiロキ	It seems you have a plan, dear. Shall I accompany you?
Yes. And Owain and Kliff—you two are coming as well.				Aversaインバース
Owainウード	Uh...yes! Owain Dark stands ever at the ready, his power at your call!
I never wanted to be roped into this... but what else am I going to do?				Kliffクリフ

Dueling Desires - A

English・Japanese

Lokiロキ	There...that carriage. We've got them. Things are going according to plan...
It's time to move. You'll have ample opportunity to show off after we capture them.				Aversaインバース
Lokiロキ	Just you watch! I need but a moment to concentrate...and to picture dear 【Summoner】...
Well! You certainly can be handy to have around. I can't find a single flaw... I'll seize this opening! Now!				Aversaインバース
Kliffクリフ	Whoa! So that's what Loki is capable of... She looks just like 【Summoner】!
Now that Loki has taken the guise of the summoner... The enemy has been thrown into confusion!				Owainウード
Kliffクリフ	Maybe they think they have the fake. I wonder...
The enemy has stopped! Yes, yes! Things are going to plan! Now's our chance to strike!				Owainウード
Annaアンナ	For a moment there, I was worried! It seems as though everything's been brought under control, however.
The rescue is complete, the enemy has been vanquished, and peace has descended once again!				Owainウード
Kliffクリフ	Seeing those two combine their talents to save the day was incredible. Why don't they focus on cooperating? It's the best way to help 【Summoner】!
This all makes choosing a winner impossible... By joining your talents, sisters of the darkness...you have truly answered the call of the summoner!				Owainウード
Lokiロキ	I'm not really following you, but I... suppose so.
Lokiロキ	Aversa, I must say...you have impressed me. I acknowledge your strength.
I welcome that. I feel much the same. You may not compare to Grima...but you are powerful indeed. I have no choice but to admit it.				Aversaインバース
Lokiロキ	And with that...wouldn't you say we should devote ourselves to being 【Summoner】's favorites?
It seems that it all comes back to 【Summoner】 in the end.				Alfonseアルフォンス
Sharenaシャロン	Wait a second! If those two are the favorites, what about me? Can I be number three?
Sharena...this is a delicate situation. Can't you see that?				Annaアンナ
Now, then! Our mission continues! And if you want to vie for the attention of 【Summoner】... do it on the battlefield!				Annaアンナ
