Dueling Spirit/Story

Dueling Spirit - Opening

English・Japanese

Mirielミリエル	I see... So you wish to place the four of us under the purview of this so-called "Order of Heroes," was it?		なるほど。つまりは、私たち４人を アスク王国の特務機関── ヴァイス・ブレイヴの指揮下にと。
For the sake of Askr and its people, yes. We would be honored to count you as allies.		この国ために、民の未来のために 力を貸してほしいんだ。		Alfonseアルフォンス
Priamパリス	For not only the kingdom, but also its people, huh? Hmm...		国のため、民の未来のために...か。
So says His Highness. But what do you make of it, Flavia?		...と、王子様は仰せだが、 どうするよ、フラヴィア？		Basilioバジーリオ
Flaviaフラヴィア	What any khan worth their salt would think of a situation like this.		どうするもなにも今 アンタが考えていることと同じだよ。
Oh! Does that mean you'll—		それじゃ、わたしたちに 力を貸してくれ...		Sharenaシャロン
Flaviaフラヴィア	Not so fast. I understand that you need warriors to protect your kingdom... But just because we're warriors doesn't mean we'll fight for any cause—or for just anyone.		ちょいと待っておくれ。 民や未来を守るために 戦わなくちゃいけないって 事情は理解したよ。 だけどね... 私たちがヴァイス・ブレイヴとやらに 力を貸すかどうかは別問題さ。
A pertinent observation.		......		Mirielミリエル
Flaviaフラヴィア	If you think you can simply use us as expendable soldiers in your war, we'll have to not-so-kindly pass. If we decided to fight for Askr, it'd be on our own terms.		あんたらが戦うために 異界の英雄頼みって連中なら 力を貸すのは願い下げだ。 そういうことなら 私たちは私たちで好き勝手にやって この国を救うだけさ。
We'd never treat Heroes like that!		わ、わたしたちは 決して他力本願なわけでは...！ ただ、みなさんの力をお借りしたくて。		Sharenaシャロン
Basilioバジーリオ	Let's cut to the chase, lass. If you want to earn our trust, you'd better prove yourselves on the battlefield.		俺たちを仲間にしたいんだったら 話は簡単だ。 お前たちの力を 俺たちに示せばいい。
Come again?		力を...示す？		Alfonseアルフォンス
Basilioバジーリオ	In Regna Ferox, we cut with our swords, not our words.		俺たちフェリアの民は蛮族の出だ。 もっともらしい言葉より 力で説き伏せてみな。
Wait just a minute... Are you saying we need to do some kind of duel to the death just to earn your respect?		それは、あなたたちと 戦えってことかしら？		Annaアンナ
Basilioバジーリオ	Not to the death, no. But that makes things a bit less interesting, so let's spice it up by splittin' into teams. Speakin' of, I call dibs on Lon'qu. He'll be the next West-Khan after I give up the reins, so it's only fair.		そのとおり。 どうせなら団体戦といこうぜ。 こっちにはロンクーもいるんだろう？ あいつは俺の後継に考えてる奴だからな ちょっと借りるぜ。
Naturally, Priam and Miriel will be on our team as well. It looks like you will need two more.		そいつは面白そうだね。 私とバジーリオ、ロンクー そしてパリスとミリエルで５人だ。		Flaviaフラヴィア
Priamパリス	Sounds like an excellent chance to test my skills, so count me in.		......
I must protest. My allegiance lies with the Shepherds, not some Feroxi warmongers.		私はそもそも、蛮族でも フェリアの民でもないのですが？		Mirielミリエル
Basilioバジーリオ	Oh, c'mon.... We were both just summoned to Askr, right? That practically makes us pals!		固いこと言うなって。 同じ頃合いにアスク王国に 呼ばれたよしみじゃねえか。
Then it's settled. Prince, I trust you'll have a team prepared by tomorrow.		んじゃあ、アルフォンス王子。 そっちも明日までに 腕っこきを５人集めな。		Flaviaフラヴィア
Priamパリス	And you'd better bring your best, or it'll just be a waste of my time.		どうせなら 倒し甲斐のある相手を頼むぞ。
I'm not sure we— Oh, there they go...		あっ！　待ってくださいっ！ みなさん、行っちゃいましたね...。		Sharenaシャロン
Annaアンナ	Are we really going to let them order us around like this?		どうするのよ、アルフォンス。 向こうの提案に従うの？
As much as I don't like it, this might be the only way to earn their trust...		戦いは望みませんが、 彼らの信頼を勝ち得るには それしかなさそうです...		Alfonseアルフォンス

Dueling Spirit - C

English・Japanese

Basilioバジーリオ	All right! The sun’s shinin’, the birds are singin’, and it’s time for us to start bringin’ the PAIN!
Looks like you managed to show up. You’re no coward, I’ll give you that. Now, name your roster.				Flaviaフラヴィア
Alfonseアルフォンス	Sharena, Anna, and I will represent the Order of Heroes alongside...
I am Fjorm, second princess of Nifl. I hope to make the most of this learning experience.				Fjormフィヨルム
Peonyピアニー	And I’m Peony! Alfonse said he and Sharena were in trouble, so I’m here to help!
Bwa ha ha! Ready and raring to go! That’s what I like to see!				Basilioバジーリオ
Lon'quロンクー	Don’t underestimate them. They’re no strangers to the battlefield.
Forged in the flames of battle, are they? That’ll just make our victory all the sweeter. I’ll go first. You there, enemy team! If you want, you can just come at me all at once. I can handle it.				Priamパリス
Sharenaシャロン	Oh, oh, can I go first? I’ve been practicing some moves!
Very well. I will serve as referee. Fear not—I will stop the fight before either side perishes. Combatants, to your corners. Match 1: Sharena versus Priam. Ready—fight!				Eirエイル
Sharenaシャロン	Nobody’s going to best me in a battle of enthusiasm! How’s this? HIIIYAH!
I can see that you wield your lance with a singular purpose. That is commendable... But without control, you are simply stabbing at the wind, dear princess! Now then— Hahh!				Priamパリス
Sharenaシャロン	Owie! Rats... Is it over already?
Bwa ha ha! Now we just gotta hold on to this lead and victory’s as good as ours!				Basilioバジーリオ
Sharenaシャロン	I’m so sorry, everyone. I really thought I had him...
It’s all right, Princess Sharena! We’re only down by one point. We just have to focus on evening the score!				Fjormフィヨルム
Lon'quロンクー	Might as well get this nonsense over with...
Combatants, to your corners. Match 2: Lon’qu versus Fjorm. Ready—fight!				Eirエイル
Fjormフィヨルム	You won’t find me an easy opponent. I can defend myself just fine! HIYAH!
Ugh... Why’d it have to be a princess? I’ll have to observe her technique and find an opening...				Lon'quロンクー
Fjormフィヨルム	You can’t avoid me forever!
H-hold on! Stay back!				Lon'quロンクー
Flaviaフラヴィア	Is it just me, or did Lon’qu freeze up all of a sudden?
Well, that can’t be good.				Basilioバジーリオ
Fjormフィヨルム	Take THIS!
Arrrgh!				Lon'quロンクー
Eirエイル	That’s enough. Princess Fjorm is the winner of the second match.
Ugh... Damn it all... If I just had more time to study her movements...				Lon'quロンクー
Basilioバジーリオ	And here I was hoping his time in Askr would have helped him get over his fear of women... That’s too bad.
Fear of women? What are you on about?				Flaviaフラヴィア
Basilioバジーリオ	Lon’qu is deadly afraid of causing harm to women, so he freezes up any time he even gets near one. But he’d be the best warrior of Ferox if he could just find a way to conquer his fear.
That was amazing, Princess Fjorm! Now we’re back in the running!				Sharenaシャロン

Dueling Spirit - B

English・Japanese

Eirエイル	Combatants, to your corners. Match 3: Peony versus Miriel. On my mark...
Oh, this is so exciting. I’m on pins and needles over here!				Peonyピアニー
Basilioバジーリオ	Go on, Miriel! Show us what Chrom’s Shepherds can do! Let those magic spells rip!
There will be no “ripping” today, thank you very much. Peony, please observe these two tomes. They are identical copies of a famous magical treatise on loan from Askr’s library. Whoever can read through the entirety of their tome the fastest shall be declared the winner.				Mirielミリエル
Peonyピアニー	Wait, what?! But this thing must be hundreds of pages long! And where are all the pictures?
Hey now, what’s all this talk about readin’? We’re here to see blood and guts, not some book club!				Basilioバジーリオ
Mirielミリエル	This contest can be settled without resorting to barbarism. Let us match wits like civilized folk.
You know, that fight did work up an appetite. Perhaps I should have asked for an eating contest.				Priamパリス
Mirielミリエル	Princess Eir, if you would be so kind.
I’m afraid we cannot proceed until your opponent is fully conscious.				Eirエイル
Peonyピアニー	So...many...words... Zzzz...
Falling asleep at the table of contents? Now I’ve seen everything.				Mirielミリエル
Fjormフィヨルム	Peony! Peony, wake up! Oh dear. She’s acting just like Mirabilis...
Regardless of the method used, Miriel has incapacitated her opponent. Therefore, she is the winner.				Eirエイル
Mirielミリエル	That took less effort that I expected. Now to expunge the drool...
That’s two wins under our belt. One more and we clinch the whole thing!				Flaviaフラヴィア
Basilioバジーリオ	Leave it to ol’ Basilio! Get Anna out here—it’s time to throw down! I can’t wait to test my axe against hers. This’ll be a battle for the ages!
Oh, is it my turn already? I’m ready when you are.				Annaアンナ
Basilioバジーリオ	Hey... Why are you standing so far away? If you’re ready, get over here and face me! Wait, that’s not an axe... It’s a blasted bow! Where did you even get that?!
Match 4: Anna versus Basilio. Ready—fight!				Eirエイル
Annaアンナ	Bows beat axes any day of the week. Time to turn you into a pincushion!
Now, hold on just a sec—OW! Geez, those smart somethin’ fierce. How the hell is this a fair fight?!				Basilioバジーリオ
Annaアンナ	Less complaining, more fighting! That’s what you’re here for, isn’t it? Now, take THIS!
Ugh... Right in the kisser...				Basilioバジーリオ
Eirエイル	Anna takes match 4.
Heehee. Don’t look so surprised. There are more Annas where that came from! Oh, and since you did technically fight AN Anna, this is completely within the rules!				Annaアンナ
Annaアンナ	The Order of Heroes uses every option at its disposal. All’s fair in war, after all.
I dunno whether to laugh or cry, but a win’s a win. That’s evened the score.				Basilioバジーリオ
Alfonseアルフォンス	I can’t fault the results, but...is this really how we want to win over allies?

Dueling Spirit - A

English・Japanese

Flaviaフラヴィア	Is that all the great West-Khan can muster? You’re getting a little too old for this, aren’t you?
How was I supposed to expect an arrow to the face? Gimme a break. She’s a damn good shot.				Basilioバジーリオ
Flaviaフラヴィア	Ridiculous. I’ll have to crush my opponent into dust to redeem our reputation as khans or Regna Ferox.
You’re up, Alfonse. It’s time for the captains of each team to show us how it’s done!				Annaアンナ
Sharenaシャロン	I believe in you, Alfonse!
If a win here will convince them to lend us their strength, then I promise to bring us victory!				Alfonseアルフォンス
Eirエイル	Combatants to your corners. Match 5: Alfonse versus Flavia. On my mark...
My blade aches to put little princes in their place. Steel yourself, boy!				Flaviaフラヴィア
Alfonseアルフォンス	The Order of Heroes is counting on me. I will not falter!
Ready—fight!				Eirエイル
Flaviaフラヴィア	Unlike that doddering old man, I’m coming full-force straight out of the gate! HAAAH!
Such immense speed... And her strikes feel like they’re hammering me into the ground!				Alfonseアルフォンス
Peonyピアニー	Come on, Alfonse! Fight back!
Ferox’s East-Khan never fails to amaze. She may give even my swordsmanship a run for its money. That said, her opponent seems to be weathering the assault. He’s made of sterner stuff than I expected.				Priamパリス
Lon'quロンクー	Maybe...but that’s all he can do. Just blocking attacks isn’t nearly enough to actually defeat the East-Khan.
You expect us to risk our necks for a spineless coward who hides behind his own blade?! HUH? Do something!				Flaviaフラヴィア
Alfonseアルフォンス	Grgh...
Alfonse...				Gustavグスタフ
Alfonseアルフォンス	Father?! Yes... I remember. You were always right. And now, Flavia is right. How can I ask someone to believe in me if I can’t even believe in myself? All right, Flavia! This for the Order of Heroes! For ASKR!
Got your second wind, huh? You’d better pray it’s enough!				Flaviaフラヴィア
Basilioバジーリオ	Heh. I didn’t think he had it in him, but it looks like she lit a fire in the kid.
I may not have the strength to defeat you, but I won’t let you win so easily!				Alfonseアルフォンス
Flaviaフラヴィア	Not gonna give up, are you? Tch... Cracking your hard head isn’t worth my time.
It seems we have reached an impasse. It would be prudent to declare this match a draw.				Eirエイル
Alfonseアルフォンス	Urgh... Does a draw satisfy you, Lady Flavia?
Rrrgh... It’s clear that you won’t yield. Fine, then. I’ve seen enough.				Flaviaフラヴィア
Sharenaシャロン	Wait, this was supposed to be the deciding match! How are we going to settle this?
Relax, Princess. I’d call this a win for all of us.				Basilioバジーリオ
Annaアンナ	But...how? Last time I checked, the score was tied, right? Something doesn’t add up.
This wasn’t ever truly about winning or losing. We simply wanted you to show us the depths of your resolve. Only a fool takes someone at their word. Real bonds are forged in battle. After watching and fighting you, I can tell that you are all ready to put your lives on the line.				Flaviaフラヴィア
Priamパリス	I’m not really the type to immediately fall in line, but I’ll do what I can to help. You’ve earned that much.
The Shepherds were tested in this manner as well. This is simply Feroxi diplomacy. Ah, and you will find no hard feelings from me. I intended to lend my aid from the outset.				Mirielミリエル
Basilioバジーリオ	Speakin’ of Ferox, the West-Khan and East-Khan stand ready. Just holler when you need us.
Thank you, everyone. I trust your skills and willpower will serve Askr well in the future.				Alfonseアルフォンス
