English・Japanese

Maribelleマリアベル	The enemy is scattering! Now's our chance to end this!		敵は総崩れですわ！ 今がチャンスです！
Right—let's get in there and smash some heads already! CHARGE!		よし、一気に突き崩そう！ 突撃だ！		Sullyソワレ
Kjelleデジェル	Hold it! We'll handle things from here, Mother!		母さん、待って！ ここからは私たちが行くわ。
Yeah. We'll make sure they get the treatment they so sorely need...		あとは俺たちがきっちりと カタにはめてやる。		Bradyブレディ
Panneベルベット	And we're to stay back? Why? It'll be faster for all of us to finish them off together.		どうして私たちが下がる必要が...？ 皆で一斉に片付けてしまえばいいわ。
M-Mother... Cornered prey lashes out most violently! So, please... Let us take care of them... E-even if it is...distressing.		あ、あのな、母ちゃん。 獲物ってのは追い詰められたときが 一番死にものぐるいで抵抗するんだ。 だからここは、俺たちに任せてくれよ。 ...怖いけど。		Yarneシャンブレー
Nowiノノ	Huh?! No fair! I wanted to play some more too... I'm coming with!		えー！ ノノ、まだ遊び足りなーい！ 一緒に行くー！
Mother...the battlefield isn't a playground, remember? You're supposed to stay focused!		お母さん、前にも言いましたけど 戦いは遊びではないのです。 お気楽な気持ちで戦われても困るのです。		Nahンン
Kjelleデジェル	We survived the cruel world we were born into, so we're ready for whatever this battle has in store.		私たちは...幼い頃から 過酷な世界を生き抜いてきて 鍛え方には自信があります。
Even if ya came along, Ma, you'd all just end up in the way.		わかりやすく言うとだな... 母さんたちについて来られても 足手まといになるってんだよ。		Bradyブレディ
Maribelleマリアベル	In...the...WAY?! How DARE you! How rude can you be? Honestly! ...You're sure you're MY son?		なっ！？　なんですってぇ......！ 言うに事欠いて、足手まといとは 失礼にもほどがありますわよ！？
If we don't go now, we'll miss our chance to hit the enemy before they regroup. Let's go—quickly.		機を逃すと、敵が態勢を 立て直してしまうです。 皆さん、行きましょう。		Nahンン
Kjelleデジェル	Mother, please fall back and secure the rear line. There are sure to be wounded in need of tending.		母さんたちは後方に下がって 負傷者の手当や敗残兵の 捜索をお願いします。
H-hey, just hang on a minu— Oh... They're already gone.		あっ、おい......！ ああ...行ってしまった。		Sullyソワレ
Nowiノノ	Ugh! How borrrring! How come I get left out of all the fun?!		つまんなーい！ ノノ、置いてかれちゃった...
...		............		Panneベルベット
Sharenaシャロン	Will Brady and his friends be all right out there, Alfonse?		ブレディさんたち、 大丈夫でしょうか？
Brady, Kjelle, and the rest hail from a different world... It seems they've come from their parents' future. But...even though they are parents and children, they're all Heroes here. I imagine it's all...difficult to process.		ブレディやデジェルたちは 元の世界でも...親たちに会うために 未来からやってきたらしいね。 でも、関係上は親と子だけど 目の前にいるのは同世代の英雄... いろいろ思うところがあるのかもしれない。		Alfonseアルフォンス
Sharenaシャロン	I guess that's true... But I still think it'd be better if they'd try working together a bit more...		うーん、親と子で力をあわせて 仲良くやってくれるといいんですけど...

English・Japanese

Maribelleマリアベル	How dare he say something like that? We're not in the way! I can't get over the rudeness! It's unacceptable! Just how was he raised, I wonder? I'd like to have a few words with his mother...
It's, um, not really something to get upset about. I'm sure they had a reason for their behavior.				Sharenaシャロン
Nowiノノ	Do you think...Nah hates me? Oh no! Maybe the me from the future took away her snacks!
That can't be it. Didn't Nah say she's been alone for as long as she can remember?				Sullyソワレ
Nowiノノ	S-so, then...is she angry at me for leaving her...all alone? *sniff*
Don't worry, Nowi. The you of the present is not responsible for the actions of your future self. Even so...I, too, have felt the distance between us and the children since they joined us in Askr.				Panneベルベット
Sullyソワレ	Agreed. The Kjelle I knew in Ylisse would never pass up the chance to spar with me. Yet...she's found plenty of Heroes to test her skills against. Makes me feel kinda lonely, actually...
I just wanna play with Nah more! Ugh! This is just borrrring...				Nowiノノ
Sullyソワレ	Uh-oh... Could it be that they're going through one of those, um...rebellious phases people talk about? I'm not sure I'm ready for this level of parenting...
Err... No, I don't think that's it...				Sharenaシャロン
Maribelleマリアベル	I wonder...should we punish them now to correct such boorish behavior before it becomes a problem?
How about this! I'll talk to them and see if I can find out what's going on!				Sharenaシャロン
Panneベルベット	Hmm... That does seem preferable to asking them ourselves.
Perhaps so... We wouldn't want them pushing back any more than they are. Princess Sharena, would you mind?				Maribelleマリアベル
Sharenaシャロン	No problem! Leave it to me!
I'll go with you! Let's goooo!				Nowiノノ
Sullyソワレ	Wait! Nowi! If you go, then the whole point of asking Princess Sharena would— Aaand they're already gone.
Honestly, I can't imagine what has gotten into those children...				Maribelleマリアベル

Spanning Time - B

English・Japanese

Bradyブレディ	i ain't so sure this plan was a good idea after all.
Don't worry. It'll be fine.				Nahンン
Yarneシャンブレー	Yeah... D-don't worry...
We have to keep our mothers safe. We must protect them, no matter what happens.				Kjelleデジェル
Bradyブレディ	I hear ya, but...I may never forgive myself for tellin' Ma and them they'd get in our way.
It was part of the plan, and it worked. If we hadn't told them off so strongly, they would have never fallen back.				Nahンン
Kjelleデジェル	We must not allow tragedy to strike a second time—and that's that. We have to get stronger, to protect our mothers from any danger that may rear its head.
You're right! This time, I'm gonna be the one doin' the protectin'.				Bradyブレディ
Yarneシャンブレー	I never had a chance to be a good son to Mother. That's why I want her to live a long life this time around.
Even though Mother was a thousand years old, she was much too young to die. I want her to play around more, see more things...live a long, long life.				Nahンン
Bradyブレディ	Then, it's up to us! Let's change destiny, with our own two hands!
Even if we have to die trying...this time, things will be different...				Kjelleデジェル
Sharenaシャロン	Did you hear all that?
Huh. So they just want to protect us? That's why they're trying to keep us away from the battlefield! How kind of them!				Nowiノノ
Sharenaシャロン	Family cares for family—that feeling doesn't change, no matter the world. But there's no need for anyone to sacrifice themselves! There has to be another way...

Spanning Time - A

English・Japanese

Maribelleマリアベル	Brady! Where are you?! You really made a mess of things this time!
Yeesh! Ma?! I'd recognize that look anywhere...				Bradyブレディ
Panneベルベット	Yarne... Do you have something you need to tell us?
Yipe! Kjelle, I think they're onto us! Wh-what do we do?				Yarneシャンブレー
Kjelleデジェル	Curses! How could they—
Oh, that was me. I kinda...overheard you all talking, and, well...				Nowiノノ
Nahンン	And then you told Maribelle about what we had planned, right?
Sorry! We didn't mean to eavesdrop...				Sharenaシャロン
Sullyソワレ	We're thankful you're so concerned over us, but...this isn't the way to go about things, Kjelle.
...				Kjelleデジェル
Maribelleマリアベル	For starters, we're not so fragile that you children need fear for our safety!
How can ya be so sure, Ma? A war's on, and things happen in war, y'know!				Bradyブレディ
Yarneシャンブレー	I...we...don't want to let our mothers die—not again!
Yarne...				Sharenaシャロン
Maribelleマリアベル	I understand how you feel, but... Even if we were to survive, if you children died to protect us... that'd be no different than us dying! Either way, we'd be losing our future. None of us want that!
What's the point of living if your child has to die? There's no way we can accept that.				Sullyソワレ
Nowiノノ	It can't just be one way or the other... That would be terrible! It's like, if you're carrying a heavy pack—why not share the load if someone offers to help? You'll both have to carry something, but at least you won't be carrying it alone!
Plus...to us, your lives are more important than our own.				Panneベルベット
Yarneシャンブレー	M-Mother!
There's nothing stronger or more precious than the ties between parent and child! That's why, if there's something worrying both sides, you should join together to overcome it!				Sharenaシャロン
Kjelleデジェル	Mother...forgive me. We just...
Don't worry, Kjelle. I'm proud to have a daughter who cares so much about her mother!				Sullyソワレ
Kjelleデジェル	Thank you...Mother...
Don't just struggle alone! There're tons of Heroes around here, so it'd be silly not to work together! Nah, you and I will be together for a long, long time still!				Nowiノノ
Nahンン	Thank you...I'm tired of being alone. I'm happy if we can be together, Mother...for as long as we can.
Then it's decided! From this day forward, we're working together! And together, we will take control of our destinies.				Maribelleマリアベル
Bradyブレディ	Heh, I'm no match for you, Ma...so I guess there's no use fightin' it! Let's do this together!
Phew... I was worried for a second there, but it looks like everything's all settled! Your bonds are sure to form a bridge that leads to a wonderful new future. I hope you stay this close forever!				Sharenaシャロン
Maribelleマリアベル	Actually, Princess Sharena, we're not quite done here... I have yet to properly scold Brady for his earlier audacity!
Wait a sec—only ME?!				Bradyブレディ

Nah: Little Miss

Nah: Little Miss - C

Alfonse	What's that? There's a violent dragon in the forest...and no one recognizes it?
Yes. We've had multiple reports over the last few days. Fortunately, no one's been injured... yet. The fact is that this may be a manakete who stands against Askr.		Anna
Alfonse	Understood, but...I must see for myself. It wouldn't be prudent to make a blind decision here.
H-hey, Prince Alfonse... Mind if I join you?		Yarne
Alfonse	Yes, I'd appreciate your company, actually, Yarne. I hear taguel have amazing hearing—perfect for recon.
Hm. And here I thought you were the type who avoids conflict whenever possible, Yarne...		Anna
Yarne	W-well, yes... I usually try to stay out of danger, generally, but there's something I, too, must see myself.
Right, then. We'll figure out what's going on before anyone gets hurt. Once you're ready, let's head out.		Alfonse

Nah: Little Miss - B

Alfonse	Hmm... This is the area mentioned in the reports... Hear anything, Yarne?
Hang on. Stay quiet for a moment... ...Ah! I can hear trees being knocked down in the distance—that way!		Yarne
Alfonse	Right, let's go. Stay vigilant...
...Hey! Over there! Something's kicking up a cloud of dust!		Yarne
Alfonse	Rrgh! And these tremors...whatever's doing all this must be massive! But... what does it want?!
I fear it's as I suspected... Have you seen that dragon before, Prince Alfonse?		Yarne
Alfonse	Hmm... Have I? Now that you mention it, the color of those scales and the shape of its snout do look familiar...
Hey, Nah! That's you, isn't it? They've been getting reports about you back at the castle, you know!		Yarne
Nah	...Huh? Yarne? And...Prince Alfonse?! Wh-what are you two doing here?
We heard a huge dragon was running amok in the forest, and wanted to see what the situation was, but...		Yarne
Nah	O-oh...really? I made sure no one was nearby before I...well, "ran amok." If I was seen...I failed. This is...the greatest shame of my life.
But, Nah...why were you rampaging through the forest to begin with?		Alfonse
Nah	W-well, I was trying to practice using Fire-Lightning-Wind Breath...
A fire, lightning...AND wind breath?! Nah, that's...incredible!		Alfonse
Yarne	Hm. That's not the whole truth, is it?
Er... Well... I'm sorry, Prince Alfonse. It's just... sometimes I get the urge to transform and destroy stuff in my dragon form. I came out here to let loose so I could maintain my composure back at the castle.		Nah
Alfonse	I see...
I’m sorry. I guess I really am just one more immature manakete...		Nah
Alfonse	I’m glad there wasn’t an incident. Would you like to head back with us now? Commander Anna worries.

Nah: Little Miss - A

Alfonse	Oh. hello, Nah. Do you...need something?
Prince Alfonse... I wanted to apologize for the trouble I caused.		Nah
Alfonse	What trouble? Oh, that? No need to worry! I explained the situation to everyone.
But even so, I made people worry. I've decided that I will refrain from going into the forest from now on...		Nah
Alfonse	Oh, Nah, you don't have to— Oh. She's already gone.
Poor Nah...		Kjelle
Alfonse	Being summoned to Askr, on top of everything else, must have only added to her stress...
Well, she's the serious, hardworking type, so she always tries to hide any sort of vulnerability. In our world—in our time—she lived in a foster home after her parents died...but she was not treated kindly. So, as a result, she has a habit of avoiding actions that might displease others...		Kjelle
Alfonse	I see... I'm sympathetic, of course... But we can't really allow her to just wreak havoc out there.
But she can't be starting fights whenever she feels the urge to let off some steam...		Kjelle
Alfonse	Hmm... Perhaps I'll present the issue to 【Summoner】... We'll find some way to help Nah!

Nah: Little Miss - S

Nah	Hm-hmm... Hm-hmhmm... Hee!
You're in good spirits today, eh, Nah? Find some candy or somethin'?		Brady
Nah	Please...don't try to lump me in with my mother! ...Which isn't to say don't give me candy, if you've got some. ...You don't actually have any candy, do you? Hmph. Figures. Anyway! Since you asked, I'm in a good mood because I got to visit— get this—a flying castle! 【Summoner】 took me!
Floatin' castle, huh? Yeah, I've heard there's one up there...		Brady
Alfonse	*ahem* We call it the Aether Keep. So, Nah, I take it you were invited up by 【Summoner】?
Yes! There are some really strong Heroes up there, so I could totally let loose!		Nah
Alfonse	Hmm... I can see why that'd be perfect for you. The folks up there don't mind a battle now and again!
I know you had something to do with it, Prince Alfonse, so...thank you! Now I have no need to wreck the forest. Next time I need to work off some stress, I'll head to the Aether Keep with 【Summoner】!		Nah
Alfonse	I'm just happy to see a smile on your face, so I'll be sure to personally thank 【Summoner】 as well. While it is the Order of Heroes' mission to win battles and restore peace to Askr... I believe part of our duty is to ensure everyone in Askr has whatever they need to lead a happy life. With those small victories as our foundation, we can build momentum toward our ultimate victory: peace.

Brady: Daunting Priest

Brady: Daunting Priest - C

Brady	Hey, you! Got a sec?
...Huh? M-me? Um, yes. Can I help you?		Fjorm
Brady	Yeah, been lookin' for ya. You're Princess Fjorm, yeah? From Nifl?
Y-yes, that's me! Do you...need something from me?		Fjorm
Brady	Yeah, I do. So, lemme see, uh... How do I put this...
I-I'm sorry! I'm not carrying any money on me right now!		Fjorm
Brady	Wait—what?! Oh! Look, that ain't what's goin' on here! I'm not trying to rob you or nothin'!
...		Fjorm
Brady	H-hey! You OK? Looks like your eyes are startin' to glaze over...
Oh... It's...nothing.		Fjorm
Brady	Sheesh... All right, look, there's somethin' I've been wantin' to say to ya for a while now...
...Oh, um! I just remembered have a training session I'm late for, so if you don't mind, I must go!		Fjorm
Brady	Wait! H-hey, come back! ...Geez. It's like she wasn't even listenin'! Ugh... Why's this kinda thing always gotta happen to me?

Brady: Daunting Priest - B

Brady	...Huh. Never knew flowers could grow in places like this. Look at this. Bloomin' away where nobody will even notice... Doin' your best even though no one'll ever appreciate ya...that's true grit, y'know? That's just... *sniff*
Oh! Hi, Brady! What are you doing all the way out here?		Sharena
Brady	Oh, Princess Sharena! Um...a whole lotta nothin', that's what.
Were you...talking to someone? I thought I heard you saying something over here...		Sharena
Brady	Nope. Not me. I've been out here by myself for a while now.
All right. If you say so... You, uh... You spend a lot of time alone, don't you, Brady? I hardly ever see you around the castle, now that I think about it...		Sharena
Brady	Yeah, I guess so. I just don't wanna get dragged into any trouble. Don't hafta worry 'bout that on my own.
Trouble? What do you mean? Is there something bothering you?		Sharena
Brady	Well, I mean, not at the moment. It's just...I don't go lookin' for trouble, but it's real good at findin' me. Just lookin' at me tells ya everything! I bet you're a little scared of me too, ain't ya? Don't feel like ya need to talk to me... I get it.
Hey! I'm talking to you because I wanted to!		Sharena
Brady	Well, I appreciate that and all, but... Nothin' good ever came of associatin' with me. That's just how it is.
B-Brady! Hey, don't go! ...Such a sad look in his eyes. I wish we could help him somehow...		Sharena

Brady: Daunting Priest - A

Sharena	Hey, uh...Brady?
Huh? Princess Sharena? Listen. I told ya not to worry 'bout me.		Brady
Sharena	I'm sorry, but I can't do that! You're an important friend, Brady—whether you like it or not! And since you're someone I care about, I'm going to worry, worry, and worry some more, got it?!
Yeah...sure. But I warned ya!		Brady
Sharena	So, what's the matter? Is it just that you worry what people think when they see your face?
That's one way to put it, yeah... This is the face of a hardened criminal, ain't it? I mean, when I first met my own Ma after traveling from the future, she thought I was some sorta scoundrel!		Brady
Sharena	W-Well... You're not really a scoundrel, right?
Sharena	I may be young, but I AM a fine judge of character—trust me! Here, take a look at this, if you don't mind.
A book...about Heroes? You write this?		Brady
Sharena	Yes! It's a collection of character profiles on Heroes who arrive in Askr, as seen through my eyes. I'm even doing all the illustrations myself! Pretty neat, huh?
This is...amazing! Ya really go into a lot of detail... W-wait... Is this...me?!		Brady
Sharena	Of course! You're one of the latest additions! As you can see, I made sure to note that you're a kind Hero who's considerate to all of his friends!
Hmph... That's— I'm tellin' ya, I ain't that kinda Hero! I don't deserve nearly as much praise as all that! But still...since ya went to the trouble...thanks.		Brady
Sharena	Hm? What was that last bit?
Huh? Nothin'! Er, I just remembered... there's somethin' I need to do. Right now. So, uh...see ya around!		Brady
Sharena	Oh, Brady... Someday soon everyone will realize that your rough exterior hides a heart that is truly kind.

Brady: Daunting Priest - S

Fjorm	Um, Brady? About the other day... I'm sorry I was so rude to you. A simply...misunderstood.
Well, I hope ya didn't lose any sleep over it. I know I didn't.		Brady
Fjorm	I know it's not as much of an apology as you deserve, but...as a start, could I treat you to some tea today?
Oh, uh... I'll pass.		Brady
Fjorm	O-oh, I see... So you are angry after all, then...
Heh. That's not it! It's just...I'm no slouch when it comes to brewin' tea. So...what if it was my treat instead?		Brady
Fjorm	Oh! I understand now. If you're sure you really want to...I'd love that.
Right! Just leave it to me. I'm gonna whip up the best tea anyone's ever had around here!		Brady
Fjorm	I can't wait! But, Brady...I do still have one question for you... Why did you stop me to talk the other day?
Oh, I'd heard...about ya. About Nifl and Múspell, the war. How, even with your back against the wall, you... Ya never gave up. Ya kept fightin', tooth and nail, all for the sake of others... I just... *sniff* Ah, geez... I, uh... I just wanted to tell ya how moved I was by your story... That's all I wanted to say.		Brady
Fjorm	Oh... I see... Well, now I know that, even though you may look...tough, you're a good person. And that's what matters! I should thank you for helping me learn this lesson. It seems I have more to learn from Sharena as well...
Yeah, don't mention it. Happens all the time! Anyway, sit tight—I'm gonna go find us some good tea leaves!		Brady
Sharena	I'm glad all that got cleared up. All's well that ends well, as they say! Though...I hope next time ends with me getting some tea too!

Yarne: Timid Taguel

Yarne: Timid Taguel - C

Kjelle	You want me to...lend you a suit of heavy armor?
Yeah. I borrowed a suit of training armor from you before, remember?		Yarne
Kjelle	Oh, I remember... You quit in a heartbeat because the armor was too heavy for you.
Well, I was pretty weak back then, I'll admit. But...I'm a lot stronger now, so I think I can handle it!		Yarne
Kjelle	Hmph. Whatever the case, you'll be more likely to survive through battle. That much is certain... ...Fine. I suppose I'll let you try one of my spare suits of heavy armor. It's called, uh..."Argent Lion Mail," but... Actually, never mind all that. Just try it on.
Hm...with a name like that, it— Huh? It's not nearly as heavy as I expected! This might actually be doable for me! How about it, Kjelle? Can I borrow this armor for a while? I want to see how well I'm able to move around in it!		Yarne
Kjelle	Go right ahead. Just don't break it.
Kjelle	...Huh? You're returning the armor already? Was it too heavy for you? Or did you just not like it?
Neither, actually... It's just that...I realized I can't transform while I'm wearing it. I tried, but...my arms and legs just got jammed up and bent at weird angles! It wasn't good... Plus my fur got caught in the seams!		Yarne
Kjelle	I suppose we should have seen that coming...
I mean, I think I could fight in it if I didn't transform, but...then I'd lose my speed advantage!		Yarne
Kjelle	Hm. I guess you're just not cut out for heavy armor after all, huh?

Yarne: Timid Taguel - B

Brady	Ya wanna survive on the battlefield, huh? Why not learn the healin' arts, like I did?
Healing arts, eh? Hmm...		Yarne
Brady	They ain't JUST for helpin' others, y'know. You can tend to your own wounds too. Havin' 'em as part of your tool set will help keep ya from bitin' the dust as easy.
I see... That sounds...really nice, actually! Being able to heal others is nice— and I bet folks are pretty grateful! So, Brady, how long will it take me to learn the arts?		Yarne
Brady	Convinced already, are ya? Well, relax—it's easier than learnin' the violin. That's for sure. For you? I'd say...a few years at best, and a few decades at worst.
D-decades?! Given the kinds of battles we get in, I'll be long dead by then!		Yarne
Brady	Look. Who says you gotta fight? Just hang back and heal until ya get the hang of it. It's perfect for ya!
It sounds nice, don't get me wrong, but I need a solution I can use now!		Yarne

Yarne: Timid Taguel - A

Nah	So...you're terrified your kind will go extinct? In that case, you should learn how to survive any situation.
What do you mean? Are there... techniques I can learn?		Yarne
Nah	Well, all living things get hungry, right? And if they don't eat, they lose their strength, and eventually die.
Yeah, I know that much.		Yarne
Nah	So, one technique is learning to find and secure food—and being willing to eat anything, regardless of tastes.
Makes sense. When you're desperate, you can't afford to be a picky eater.		Yarne
Nah	That's right! Now, with that being said... Here. Chew this.
Wh-what is this? Some gnarled-up root? I'm not sure I should put that in my mouth...		Yarne
Nah	It won't kill you! But not eating when you're hungry will. Don't be shy. Try a little bite.
I'm less shy and more...concerned for my digestion. But if you think I should try it, here goes nothing! Hrk! Oh, no... You don't actually call this food, do you?!		Yarne
Nah	Why wouldn't I? Ooh! Try chewing it up until it's a nice mash. That way you can taste all the flavor notes!
How can you say that when there are no flavors?! It's just...mush! If this is what it takes to survive, maybe I'm just not cut out for this world... I don't think I can stomach it.		Yarne
Nah	*munch* It's pretty good once you get used to it... If your diet isn't balanced, the clock ticking down toward your extinction only goes faster...
How about this... I'll just avoid situations where I have to eat weird roots in the first place...		Yarne

Yarne: Timid Taguel - S

Kjelle	So you haven't been able to find a way to avoid dying an early death yet, then?
Yeah... Not for any lack of trying on the part of you all...		Yarne
Brady	I still think ya should reconsider pickin' up the healin' arts...
Tree roots really ARE delicious, you know...		Nah
Yarne	Yeah, yeah—I get it! Enough already! This whole mess got me thinking... There are many ways to avoid death. But I think the best method has got to be sticking together with you all!
Huh? That's your takeaway?		Kjelle
Yarne	Yeah! No matter what weird request I've had, you've all been there for me when I needed your help. With friends like you, I don't need to feel so afraid about what's around every corner...
Yeah, well, what're pals for, right?		Brady
Nah	We're all different, but we're all still friends. And that bond of friendship is the strongest there is!
Right. I think it goes without saying that we'd never leave a friend out to dry. We're in this together.		Kjelle
Yarne	If I was alone, I probably would've gone extinct a long time ago. I have all of you to thank. But I've no doubt that, together, we can carve out a bright future.
Seems like that worked for your Ma, right?		Brady
Nah	Hmm... Just like how your body can starve if you go without food, your heart can starve without companions. So I suppose the best survival technique is, to put it simply, to be with friends you trust.
That's right. This armor isn't just for protecting my own skin. It's also for protecting my friends. Whatever happens, Yarne, don't ever hesitate to lean on us for support.		Kjelle
Yarne	Thank you—all of you. I feel...for the first time in a long time, like maybe I won't go extinct after all! As long as we're together, we'll make in through whatever obstacles come our way!

Kjelle: Fair Fighter

Kjelle: Fair Fighter - C

Kjelle	Everything seems ready. My gear is prepped, and my body feels light. Today's training'll yield good results!
You sure seem to be in good spirits today, Kjelle! Let's do our best out there on the field today, all right?		Sharena
Kjelle	Ah, Princess Sharena. We're being deployed together, are we? I hope I live up to your expectations.
Our training today is set to be held on a battlefield designed to resemble an abandoned village. There are six key bases spread around the village, and whoever controls the most wins!		Sharena
Kjelle	Hm. I'm used to sparring one-on-one, but the battlefield is another story. I've been looking forward to this.
Me too! Now...let's get out there!		Sharena
Kjelle	Nngh...
...elle! Hey, Kjelle!		Sharena
Kjelle	Ugh... Wh-where am I?
Thank goodness! You've come to!		Sharena
Kjelle	That's right... We were...in the middle of a mock training battle, and... And... then something happened... Oh! A knight in black armor came out of nowhere and...took me out with a single blow...
Hm. Well, the mock battle is over. Our opponents captured all the bases we had secured...		Sharena
Kjelle	I was defeated... Without being any use whatsoever... Even though I've stayed up countless nights training... I was so confident...
D-don't worry, Kjelle! We'll get 'em next time, right?		Sharena
Kjelle	Mrrghh...

Kjelle: Fair Fighter - B

Nah	Kjelle... It's time to come out of your armor now... Even IF it calms you down, it cannot be good for you to be in there for so long.
You know she's right, Kjelle. And trust me—I know how it feels to want to run away and hide... But you can't live your whole life from inside your armor.		Yarne
Kjelle	I'm not running away.
Princess Sharena told us everything. Is losing some mock battle really a reason to be so down in the dumps?		Yarne
Kjelle	Losing is fine. It happens. It's...how I lost that isn't. How could I lose to another knight so easily?
"Victory is never guaranteed," as they say... I'm sure the next one will go better. You're a great knight, after all!		Nah
Kjelle	It wasn't mere chance that I was beaten. I was thoroughly outmatched. Outclassed. The long days and nights I spent training instilled me with a certain confidence... But I had only my past self to measure my improvement against.
D-don't worry about it so much, Kjelle. I, for one, know how strong you are!		Yarne
Kjelle	Not strong enough... I must get stronger. I have to be strong enough to prevent the tragedy of our time from repeating itself.
Kjelle...		Nah
Kjelle	What can I do? What...am I missing?!

Kjelle: Fair Fighter - A

Kjelle	I must...get stronger. Strong enough to overcome even the most powerful Heroes here. But how? How can I close the gap?
Oof... Man, everything hurts. Geez, that guy could've gone a little easier on me...		Brady
Kjelle	Brady? What happened? You look... terrible!
Oh, this? I was just trainin'. The guy said he was monk, but...I'm not so sure... He beat me up, all with this smile on his smug mug.		Brady
Kjelle	So, you lost...
Yeah. But these are just growing pains, y'know? Gotta take a few lumps to get stronger sometimes.		Brady
Kjelle	Growing pains, huh?
Yeah. This place is full of Heroes who are legends in their world, y'know— and we're training with 'em! On the one hand, we're just rookie weaklings compared to them... But! Since we're as green as we are, we got all this room to learn and grow and improve! Even if we don't have a hope of winnin', at least we can say we had a chance to spar with the greats!		Brady
Kjelle	I understand what you're getting at. I'ts just that...the gap between our skill levels is so wide...
You just can't see how we can ever cross that distance, eh? It's true that, even if ya fought one hundred battles, you'd probably end up losin' to 'em every single time... But the you who gets up after bein' beat all those times would be that much stronger.		Brady
Kjelle	... Muscles only get stronger if you work them...flex them. Even if I don't win...I can still learn. I can still grow... I lost sight of that. Hmph. To think you, of all people, would be the one to remind me of that. I really have gotten soft...
What's that supposed to mean?! Sheesh. Ya try to be helpful...		Brady
Kjelle	Hm. Growing pains... Whatever it takes—I will get stronger!

Kjelle: Fair Fighter - S

Sharena	Nice work out there today, Kjelle! Today's mock battle was pretty close, huh? We almost won!
You played no small part yourself, Princess Sharena. But thank you. This time, some demonic giant, who... carried a pumpkin...knocked me flying with his axe. The Order of Heroes sure attracts a wide variety of...unique members.		Kjelle
Sharena	Well, I hope you're OK! I can call Brady over if you're injured.
For these scratches? He'd just laugh. While I'm still not satisfied with my performance... My main goal isn't to win anymore—it's to grow. That's what makes even the losing battles worth it.		Kjelle
Sharena	Kjelle... There's a spark in your eyes that wasn't there before. They're practically glowing!
So they are! The positive outlook suits you, Kjelle.		Nah
Yarne	Yeah! I like happy Kjelle!
I'm sorry for worrying you all...		Kjelle
Brady	So, ya really leaned into the idea that your power will only grow if ya use it, huh? Then, let us join ya, side by side! You're not the only one who's aimin' to get stronger, y'know.
You're right... You all have just as much reason to get stronger as I do. And if we all use our power together, we can get much further than if we go it alone.		Kjelle
Sharena	Yeah! We'll get them next time! If we all work together, we'll claim a victory in no time!
Right! We may not win right away, but we'll get where we're headed if we just take it step-by-step.		Kjelle
