This is unexpected. How did we land
ourselves in this predicament?

はあ...
どうにか撒いたかしら。

I'm just glad you three aren't hurt.
Those soldiers seem dangerous,
whoever they are.

3人とも、怪我がないようで良かった。
それにしてもあの軍勢は、いったい...

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Bylethベレス
Dimitri The Protector Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

Agreed. They do not look like bandits,
but they're not from any army that
I could recognize.

賊...のようには見えなかったな。
奴らの装備を見るに、俺たちの知る
どの軍のものとも違うようだったが。

It's not only the enemies—even the
landscape is alien. We don't seem to
be in the forests of Garreg Mach.

ええ、それにこの辺りの景色...
どうやらここはガルグ=マクの
森の中ではなさそうね。

Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト
Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Bylethベレス

An unfamiliar enemy in an unfamiliar
forest. Just what is happening here,
I wonder?

見覚えのない敵、見覚えのない森...
何が起こったんだろう。

Perhaps there are locals nearby who
can apprise us of our situation. First,
however...

事態を把握するためにも、
話の通じる相手を探さなければね。
だけど、それよりも...

Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト
Dimitri The Protector Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

Yes. I had the same thought. Claude,
where exactly are you going?

ああ...
それよりも、だ...

おいクロード、どこへ行く。

Oh, you noticed! Your Highnesses
were so busy conferring, I thought I'd
have time to make a strategic retreat.

おわ、気づかれたか!
さっさとずらかろうと思ったんだが...

Claude The Schemer Face FC
Claudeクロード
Dimitri The Protector Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

A "strategic retreat," hm? That has a
familiar ring to it.

お前というやつは...
...この状況、いつかも見た気がするな。

Why am I not surprised? Claude, that
is not an option here. We do not even
know where we are.

クロード。
何度も同じ手が通用すると思っているの?

Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト
Claude The Schemer Face FC
Claudeクロード

Fine, fine. But we're not going to find
help by standing around here, waiting
for someone to—

わかってるわかってる。
だが、ここに留まってたって
そう都合よく誰か来てくれるなんて...

Hello, strangers! Did I overhear you
say you needed help?

...おーい!!
大丈夫ですかー!?

Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC

We were talking rather loudly,
I suppose.

...来たな。

Well, how do you like that! The gods
of fortune are smiling on us today.
Wouldn't you agree, Teach?

...OK. To summarize. You're saying
you summoned us to this world as
"Heroes."

And the foes who attacked us were
invaders from another world, not ours
and not yours.

Dimitri The Protector Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ
Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

This all sounds absurd. And yet, given
this situation and these surroundings,
I find myself believing this story.

We'll take care of the remaining
soldiers here. You all can hurry along
to the castle.

Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharenaシャロン
Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト

The enemy does not seem interested
in allowing us to escape so easily.

I hear footsteps—a lot of footsteps.
They're searching for us.

Anna Commander Face Pain
Annaアンナ
Alfonse Prince of Askr Face Pain
Alfonseアルフォンス

I am not sure we can prevail against
such numerous foes.

It seems like we have no choice. I for
one have no intention of decorating
this world with my corpse.

Claude The Schemer Face FC
Claudeクロード
Dimitri The Protector Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

Agreed. Fortunately, we are armed.
If we fight together, we can survive.

It's a rare day that you two agree
with one another. Let us fight our
way out of this and return home!

Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト
Anna Commander Face Pain
Annaアンナ

We didn't intend to put you all in
danger right after summoning you.
Are you sure you're up for the fight?

Don't worry about them. They may
be young, but they're skilled soldiers.

And of course, they won't be alone.
Now, let us fight as one!

The enemy seems to be cautious of
the Order of Heroes. Many troops
have been mobilized to search for us.

I would suggest lying in wait for an
opportunity to withdraw, but with
those numbers, it will not be easy.

Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト
Dimitri The Protector Face FC

Our only option might be to break
through their ranks. How to do that,
I'm not entirely sure...

We will use any means necessary to
find a way forward.

What? Why are you all staring at me?

We know you well enough to know
that you're concocting some scheme.

Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト
Claude The Schemer Face FC
Claudeクロード

You have a funny way of asking for a
favor. I was thinking about how to
settle this peacefully.

I have a plan. But for it to work,
we're going to need some help from
the prince and princess.

Of course! Whatever it is, you can
count on me!

Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharenaシャロン
Claude The Schemer Face FC
Claudeクロード

Teach, you'll have to take the lead.
I need a second to refine my strategy,
and then you'll explain it to everyone.

This is feeling less like a strategy
meeting and more like being in a
classroom.

Anna Commander Face FC
Annaアンナ
Dimitri The Protector Face FC
Dimitriディミトリ

We are from the Officers Academy.
Claude, Edelgard, and I are students,
and this is our professor. So...

That is why this feels so much like a
lesson. It is one.

You did it! And you worked together
like true Heroes! You clearly know
how to cooperate with one another.

That is an overstatement. We are in
different houses, so we haven't had
much chance to fight side-by-side.

Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgardエーデルガルト
Claude The Schemer Face FC

Each of us has our own burdens to
bear back home. But I did enjoy
working together for a change.

If we did seem to coalesce well, all
thanks are due to our professor.

Dimitri The Protector Face FC

Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC

Whatever the reason, I'm impressed
by your teamwork! And a little bit
envious, to be honest.

You seem to have a good rapport
with 【Summoner】, though.

Edelgard The Future Face FC

Getting students to work together

Yes, I suppose you're right. Thanks to
【Summoner】...

We have been able to bring Heroes of
all kinds, from many worlds, together
into a cohesive fighting force.

With our arrival, a few more have
joined your ranks. I hope we will
prove as useful as your other allies.

Sharena

I'm curious about your world, Byleth.
All this business about the "10 Elites"
sounds fascinating!

And I heard that you're a professor.

Yes, I am a professor, though I don't
think that I'm a very good one.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

Really? The students summoned here
seem to positively adore you.

I'm glad. I'm proud of the progress
they've made—though I'd credit it to
their talents more than my teaching.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

They told me that you're an excellent
professor. Though they also said you
can be a bit eccentric at times.

My father raised me as a mercenary.
We spent years living without roots,
camping in fields and forests.

So I won't deny being clueless when
it comes to social norms. I can only
imagine what the nobles think of me.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

A mercenary becoming a professor...
What an interesting path!

Yes. My path has gone in some
unexpected directions. Now I have no
idea what the future holds.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

Your path brought you to me! Maybe
you can teach me something.

I'm not sure what I have to teach you
that you wouldn't already know.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face Pain
Sharena

Hm... Why don't you teach me about
the history of your homeland?

I can certainly try, Sharena. I expect it
would take quite a few lessons.

Sharena

Byleth, I've noticed that the look on
your face changes significantly when
you're in battle.

Does it? I wasn't aware.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

Yes, it does. I don't quite know how
to explain it, other than to say that,
in battle, you look like a mercenary.

Whereas most of the time, especially
when you're with your students, you
just look like a professor.

Thank you, Sharena. I appreciate
the compliment.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

You're...welcome? I didn't mean it as
a compliment, per se. I was just
making an observation.

But it is a compliment. Since I was
very young, I've been told that I seem
to lack emotion.

It just wasn't in my nature to show
what I was feeling.

My father and some of the other
mercenaries could see through my
stony expression, but most people...

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

I can see through it! And right now
your face is telling me that you're
really, really hungry!

...Are you hungry? We can have this
conversation over a meal, perhaps.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC

Come on, professor! You're hungry.
Am I right or am I right?

Hey! Hold up!

Byleth: Proven Professor - A

Byleth! I could use your help making
sense of this strategy.

It's a battle formation to counter
enemy archers. You see, I just don't
understand why...

...

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

Is something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong. It's just that you
remind me of my students.

When it comes to tactics, Commander
Anna has more experience than I.
Why don't you ask her?

I wouldn't want her to feel as though
I'm taking her place.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

Huh?! Oh, don't be ridiculous!
There's no need to worry about that.

Commander Anna is my leader, but
you're my professor. Those are two
completely different roles!

...Are they?

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

Of course. But if it really bothers you,
I can talk to her instead.

I think that would be best.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC

If you won't teach me, then I hope
you'll at least be my friend.

I thought that we already were
friends. Or allies, at least.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC

What?! Byleth, friends and allies are
not the same thing!

If that's the case, I'm not sure I've
ever truly had a friend.

I have something important to say.
About you and me.

You do have a friend—because you
have me! And we are friends, Byleth.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC

I appreciate that. After our previous
conversation, I got to thinking... What
are friends?

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face Cool2
Sharena

Friends are...friends. It's hard to
explain.

Kindred spirits, brothers and sisters
in arms, teachers and students...

There are so many different kinds of
relationships, but any of them can
form the basis for a friendship.

I realized that friendships are about
having warm feelings for someone.
And I do feel warmly toward you.

Byleth Proven Professor Face FC
Byleth
Sharena Princess of Askr Face FC
Sharena

Exactly! I feel the same about you!

Hello there! I take it you were drawn
here by the delicious smell?

After I arrived in this world, I found
some rare mushrooms, and I've been
stewing them in that pot over there.

I would advise against having a taste.
We had this species of mushroom in
my own world.

If you eat them, all the color will drain
from your face and your skin will
start steaming.

For three days and three nights you'll
have a fever, nausea, and unbearable
stomach pain.

Why am I stewing these mushrooms,
you ask? I'm boiling down the poison,
of course!

If we slip it into our enemies' food,
we can cut down their numbers
before the battle's even begun.

The way I see it, losing a battle means
losing your friends. I won't hesitate to
use dirty tricks to avoid that outcome.

And this won't kill anybody. It would
just incapacitate them. So really, it's a
way of avoiding bloodshed.

This may come as a surprise, but I'm
a cautious man. I always like to have
a few extra arrows in my quiver.

Now I just need to figure out how
I'm going to slip this concoction into
the enemy's food.

Remember that poison I made from
the mushrooms? Someone snuck a
taste while I wasn't looking.

I got them to throw it up, so it all
worked out OK, but Teach found out
and gave me an earful.

The scolding wasn't for making the
poison. It was just for taking my eyes
off of it while it was cooking.

Teach usually lets me off the hook
when it comes to my hijinks, but
hurting an ally crosses the line.

You know, in some ways, you and
Teach are pretty similar.

You're both tactically gifted, you're
both caring leaders, and you're both
completely inscrutable.

What's going on with you anyhow,
【Summoner】?

Actually, don't answer that. I have a
habit of prying, and I always feel a bit
guilty about it afterward.

It's just that, when I come across
something mysterious, it's hard for
me to suppress my curiosity.

Maybe I shouldn't call you "something
mysterious" right to your face. Sorry.
Now I feel bad.

Well, well. You're on patrol duty!
I'm surprised to see you sticking your
neck out, to be honest.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was
under the impression you don't
take to the battlefield.

If you ask me, everyone has their own
role to fulfill, and they should focus
on that.

That's what I do! Take a look at this.
I was able to convert my mushroom
poison into a powder!

Now I won't need a grand scheme to
mix it into the enemy's food. We can
sprinkle it around in their camps.

It's airborne, so by being in proximity,
they'll inhale the poison!

I just need to figure out a method of
getting it to the enemy's camp... Hey!
I see that smirk on your face!

I'm not doing this for fun. I'm using
my expertise to give us an advantage
on the battlefield.

OK, fine, I'm also doing this for fun.
I enjoy experimenting with potions.
But mostly I'm doing it so that we...

...Oof. Sorry, I suddenly have a nasty
headache. And my stomach is feeling
a little unsettled.

I must have accidentally inhaled some
of this mushroom powder!

If you'll excuse me, I think I'm going
to... Urgh...

Claude: The Schemer - S

I really had it rough the other day.
I know, I brought in on myself,
but still...

Nausea and headaches for three days
and three nights. Steam emanating
from my skin. Ouch.

On the bright side, I certainly proved
the poison's efficacy. I was
completely incapacitated.

Then again, I realized a major snag.
The mushrooms are too rare for me
to make a large quantities of the stuff.

I'm sorry. I just wanted to give us an
advantage in battle. Looks like I have
to start from scratch on a new plan.

Hey, why are you looking so glum?
I guess you were really hoping that
this plan would work.

Don't worry. There's more where
that came from! I have schemes for
any given situation.

Not to give you the wrong idea—I'm
not calling into question your own
strategic abilities.

I just want to help. I didn't choose to
be summoned here, but I've come to
really enjoy fighting alongside you.

Regarding matters of life and death,
I don't leave anything to chance. I do
whatever it takes to win.

...Oh, that's it! If there aren't enough
raw materials, why don't I produce
the raw materials myself?

I'll do some research on cultivating
mushrooms. And figure out some way
to avoid inhaling the powder.

moment?

Of course, Edelgard. What would you

I noticed our enemy using an unusual
formation in the most recent battle.

I've written a short analysis of the
unorthodox strategy. I thought you
might like to read it and discuss.

Thank you. I'm impressed that you
took the initiative to write this on
your own.

Anna Commander Face FC

This is impressive work. There's so
much detail. Are you sure you're just
a student?

Anna Commander Face Pain
Anna
Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgard

Yes. I attend the Officers Academy in
Garreg Mach, where more than half
of the students are nobles.

Even at a young age, many of us are
entrusted with leading our territories:
taxing properly, subduing bandits...

If we cannot effectively perform such
duties, countless people will feel the
consequences.

Our education, therefore, is designed
to make us capable leaders.

That must be challenging. It sounds a
bit like being in the military.

Anna Commander Face FC

Edelgard The Future Face FC

Indeed. It is not so different.

You said that the Officers Academy
you attend has students from three
different regions learning together?

Yes, that's right. Long ago, the three
were united as one.

Fódlan is now split into the Adrestian
Empire, the Holy Kingdom of
Faerghus, and the Leicester Alliance.

I am from the Empire, Dimitri is from
the Kingdom, and Claude is from the
Alliance.

We are the house leaders for our
respective houses at the academy.

Edelgard The Future Face FC
Edelgard
Anna Commander Face FC
Anna

I see. Relations among the territories
must be warm, considering that you
can all gather at one school, correct?

Yes and no. For 300 years, since the
Alliance split from the Kingdom, there
has been relative peace.

However, some are not content with
the current state of affairs. I count
myself among them.

Edelgard The Future Face FC

Anna Commander Face FC

What a complex situation. On the

It should allow us to adjust on the fly

suited for a variety of terrains and
situations.

Now that that's been settled, I have
to say, I still find it hard to believe
you're just a student.

My circumstances are much like
those of Prince Alfonse.

I am not just a student; I am also
the heir to the Adrestian throne.

Even before entering the academy,
I diligently studied military strategy
and the art of governance.

Edelgard The Future Face FC

Anna Commander Face FC

Of course. I suppose I'm just not
used to hearing someone your age

In this world, I AM just a student.

What is that book you're reading?

It's about the history of this world.
I borrowed it from Prince Alfonse
because I was curious to learn more.

It's so different from Fódlan here.
The structure of the country, the way
your political system developed...

It's so different that it perhaps won't
apply much to my duties in Fódlan.
But I have learned quite a lot.

Edelgard The Future Face FC

Every time I see you, you're studying

You must take breaks to enjoy a

I take breaks, but only when I know
that no one will see me.

Edelgard The Future Face FC

You only take breaks alone? Do you
have a hobby you're trying to hide
from people?

Anna Commander Face Pain
Anna

No need to answer if you don't
feel comfortable doing so.

I do try to hide it from other people,
but not because I'm doing anything
out of the ordinary.

Sometimes I like to just lie around
and relax. When I'm alone, I feel that
I can just be myself...

Edelgard The Future Face FC

Lying around... Hah!

I'm the heir to the throne—I don't

I'm not saying it doesn't become you!
In this world, you're just a student,
right? You said it yourself.

It's OK for a student to laze around
every now and again. In fact, let's be
lazy together.

Well, if you insist... Not for too
long, though. I don't want anyone
to see me.

I appreciate your consideration. In

it would not be enough to learn about

I will try. What is it you need, Prince?

Know that you don't need to speak

I feel a little unsettled hearing you
speak to me with such politeness.

Of course. If you would feel more

I may be a prince of this country, but
we are both members of the Order of

The enemy is dug in on this position.
That being said, the best entry point
for our attack would be there.

The fortress? If we attack from there,
we would have a tactical advantage.

However, in that case, the fighting
could impact people in that town
adjoining the fortress.

We would be risking civilian lives to
complete the objective. It is rational,
but perhaps not moral.

If we shirked this opportunity and let

As the prince of this realm, it is my

as I can. It is the rational choice.

Alfonse Prince of Askr Face Pain

And yet...

Alfonse, if I may...

This decision need not be a binary.
Why don't we consider alternative
strategies?

Excuse me?

You need not rely strictly on yourself
to make this decision. Others might
be able to suggest different paths.

I have assembled suggestions from
others in your army.

I asked everyone, from seasoned
military minds to those who usually
skip war council meetings.

Drawing from their wisdom, I have
devised a few plans of my own—
of course, the final decision is yours.

I kept going back and forth.

I obsessed over the possibility that,
by protecting a handful of innocents,
I was endangering countless more.

But my conscience would not let me
accept the trade-off. I am ashamed
that I dithered for so long.

Alfonse... Permit me to say one thing.

Ethical choices are ambiguous.
Laws may flatten these ambiguities,
but leaders should embrace them.

At times, one must rely on logic to
make a decision. But that does not
mean ignoring what one's heart says.

When faced with a difficult decision,
you should struggle to find the truth,
even at the risk of seeming indecisive.

That is what I consider to be the role
of a leader, at any rate.

Dimitri The Protector Face FC

Is that really how it looks?

I have always enjoyed fighting. On
