Keepers of Faith/Story

Keepers of Faith - Opening

English・Japanese

Annaアンナ	We've got trouble! We just received a report from one of our guards! Mjölnir's forces are on the march! The hammer of the gods is coming down on our heads!		大変よ...！ 今、見張りの兵から報告が入ったの！ 裁きの神槌... ミョルニルの軍勢が 再び動き出したらしいわ！
What?! Mjölnir? But how...		本当ですか...！？		Alfonseアルフォンス
Eirikaエイリーク	Mjölnir, is it... I heard mention of its name when I was summoned to this world...		ミョルニル...。 この世界に召喚されたとき 【Summoner】さんから その存在を伺いました。
The god Thórr advances on Askr, leading her army to lay siege on us. That is indeed trouble.		戦神トール率いる軍勢が アスク王国に迫っているのだね。		Marthマルス
Annaアンナ	Reports describe a massive army, extending the width of the horizon, all bearing down on us.		ええ。 地平を埋め尽くすほどの大軍勢が、 私たちの国を滅ぼそうとしてくる...
How terrible... This Thórr is nothing like our goddess.		なんて無慈悲な... 私たちの主とは正反対の振る舞い...		Marianneマリアンヌ
Alfonseアルフォンス	We must make for Midgard's Shield, to the south. There we will find treasures gathered from other worlds. We can use those relics to resist Thórr. That is the last stronghold that can withstand Mjölnir's forces. If they do break through...we're finished.		僕たちはこれから 南にある秘宝砦に向かう。 そこには異界より集められた 秘宝が眠っているんだ。 彼らに抗することができる遺産がね。 そこがミョルニルを受け止める最後の砦。 突破されれば...アスク王国に明日はない。
Prince Alfonse! I-I'm no Hero—in fact, guarding gates is about the closest I get to any heroics...but still! I want to lend my aid to defend the gates of Midgard's Shield!		アルフォンス王子...！ じ、自分は英雄ではなく できることは門を守ることくらい。 なので、秘宝砦の門を守るため 力添えさせていただきます...！		Gatekeeper門番
Alfonseアルフォンス	Thank you. We'll be happy to have your assistance.		ありがとう。その申し出 喜んで受けさせてもらうよ。
We must mobilize every Hero we can. Prince Marth, all of you, I know you were only just summoned, but... we need your help!		動ける英雄を総動員するわ。 召喚されたばかりで悪いけど マルス王子たちにも力を貸してもらうわよ！		Annaアンナ
Marthマルス	Of course. That is what we were summoned to this world to do.		もちろんだよ。 ぼくたちはそのために この世界に呼ばれたのだからね。
I will pray the goddess grants us the strength to endure whatever comes our way...		主が...私たちの背中を 支えてくれることを祈りましょう...		Marianneマリアンヌ
Eirikaエイリーク	We must not let the sun set on Askr... Not without fighting with everything we have first!		守りましょう、この国の未来を...！

Keepers of Faith - C

English・Japanese

Annaアンナ	Get this equipment to the north gate! Confirm our stock of weapons and armor while you’re at it! Report any problem areas to Merlinus! He will see to getting the issue addressed.
The Heroes defending the east gate are early in position.				Marthマルス
Annaアンナ	Already? Wonderful! Thank you! I guess there’s reason they call you the Hero-King. Your knack for leadership really is something you ought to be proud of... I certainly would be!
Princess Eirika joined me, and her ability to rouse the spirit of those around her is what made it possible.				Marthマルス
Annaアンナ	Well, incredible work to the both of you. Now, I see more equipment has just arrived. I’ll leave it to you!
This flurry of activity is almost overwhelming...				Marianneマリアンヌ
Gatekeeper門番	Yes, they certainly move with a sense of urgency. I can feel the tension in the air so strongly, I’m trembling!
...				Eirikaエイリーク
Marthマルス	Is something the matter, Princess Eirika?
I was reminded of a conversation I once had with my brother...				Eirikaエイリーク
Marthマルス	Your brother... Ephraim, correct? Prince of Renais?
That’s right. In times like these, it can often feel that the only constant in this world is war. No matter the age, the fighting never seems to cease... In our past, when monsters roamed the land, people would ride out to fight them... And when there were no monsters, the people would instead turn their weapons on each other.				Eirikaエイリーク
Marianneマリアンヌ	...
Even though people know it is foolish to wage war, they continue to do so, again and again. And why? Image what we could accomplish if we worked together rather than against one another...				Eirikaエイリーク
Marthマルス	As someone who has seen their fair share of battles, I know well what you mean.
But now, our foe wields power only available to the gods... Don’t we have to fight if we’re to have any hope of surviving? What other choice do we have?				Marianneマリアンヌ
Marthマルス	You’re right, Marianne. As Princess Eirika said, the battle we face may seem unending and hopeless... However, if we do not draw our blades and meet our foe, hope is lost all the same. If we must defeat a god to ensure the future of this kingdom, we will do as is required of us.
We must prepare ourselves for the fight that lies ahead.				Eirikaエイリーク
Marthマルス	For now, we focus on surviving Mjölnir’s onslaught. Let nothing distract you from that!
R-right!				Marianneマリアンヌ
Gatekeeper門番	Nothing will get past me!

Keepers of Faith - B

English・Japanese

Gatekeeper門番	Ugh... Knowing a god’s forces are bearing down on us is absolutely nerve-racking...
...				Marianneマリアンヌ
Gatekeeper門番	Is something wrong, Marianne? That expression on your face isn’t doing my nerves any good either... I-I’m sure everything will be all right! Reports are that attacks on the west gate are not as severe as expected.
It’s just that...ever since I was young, I’ve seemed to attract misfortune... But...this is no time to become caught up in the past. I have to do everything I can to help...				Marianneマリアンヌ
Gatekeeper門番	Yes, even if it costs me my life, I swear to defend this ga— Huh?! That cloud, on the horizon... Is it my imagination or does it appear to be headed this way?
...I-it’s a dust cloud! It must be the enemy forces on the march—an incredible number of troops...				Marianneマリアンヌ
Gatekeeper門番	Oh no... Have we been outmaneuvered?
We have so few Heroes positioned to defend this gate... Until some relief arrives, it will be up to us to hold them off, goddess willing!				Marianneマリアンヌ
Gatekeeper門番	It’s all we can do for now!
Gatekeeper門番	Y-you! You won’t get past this gate! Not on my watch! ...I wish I’d grabbed a sharper lance before being summoned from the monastery.
...				Thórrトール
Gatekeeper門番	Eeek! Wh-who is that?! That pillar of muscle towering over the rest...
A single soldier guarding the front... Have the Midgard forces been so exhausted, they can do no better? ...Or is it that they have so little respect for the hammer of the gods?				Thórrトール
Gatekeeper門番	...It can’t be! That, the one leading Mjölnir... Is that Thórr herself? The god of war—here?!
Only the chose few can withstand the might of Mjölnir... Name yourself, soldier. How is it you justify to yourself standing against me?				Thórrトール
Gatekeeper門番	I-I can’t even look in your eyes without trembling out of control, but even so... I justify my standing here because... it is the whole reason I am here. My duty is to protect the gate!
Step aside, unless you would rather be broken along with this gate.				Thórrトール

Keepers of Faith - A

English・Japanese

Gatekeeper門番	Hhhrrgg...
Stay down.				Thórrトール
Marianneマリアンヌ	Oh no! Gatekeeper! I can’t reach you—there are too many of them!
Owww... Everything hurts... But...I cannot...allow you to get past this gate!				Gatekeeper門番
Thórrトール	Even in your current sorry state, you still keep the gate?
Heh... Keeping gates is all I know. This gate protects the hopes and dreams of those on the other side. And so...I will stand until my legs give out beneath me!				Gatekeeper門番
Thórrトール	... Please forgive any disrespect I may have paid you. I was mistaken. You are a Hero of true strength indeed. As such, I will cease my patronizing and approach you as a worthy adversary–with my full strength...
G-guh... Everything is...going dark. Is this...the end?				Gatekeeper門番
Marianneマリアンヌ	Stay with me, Gatekeeper! ...Look! Reinforcements! Prince Marth and Princess Eirika have arrived!
Ah... That’s...good. Then, the gate is in...good hands...				Gatekeeper門番
Marianneマリアンヌ	Gatekeeper! ...Gatekeeper?!
Huh. So the reinforcements arrived and we managed to hold the west gate, then? Glad to hear it.				Gatekeeper門番
Alfonseアルフォンス	It’s all thanks to you standing firm against impossible odds. Please, allow me to express my gratitude on behalf of the people of Askr.
N-no! Th-that’s much too much! You don’t need to do all that! I was only doing my job!				Gatekeeper門番
Marthマルス	Separately, each of us has only so much strength. Together, though, our gathered force knows no equal. You are a great Hero and deserve recognition as someone who stood firm face to face with a god!
I— Thank you so much. To hear something like that...and from the Hero-King himself...it’s too much! But as a Hero, I henceforth pledge to use what meager ability I have to offer aid to the Order of Heroes!				Gatekeeper門番
Eirikaエイリーク	More battles awaits...but hope remains on the horizon. With that as our guide, we will fight toward it, for the people and the future of Askr.
Even if we find ourselves standing against a god once again... We can rely on the goddess and other righteous gods to lend us their strength to counter our foes. I have faith we can keep the hopes and dreams of the people safe from whatever threats may come.				Marianneマリアンヌ
