This Life's Light - Opening

English・Japanese

Arthurアーサー	Tine, are you all right? You're not hurt, are you?		ティニー、大丈夫か？ 怪我はしていないか？
I'm fine, Brother. Actually...I'm more concerned about our cousin Ishtar...		はい、兄様。 それより、イシュタル姉様は...		Tineティニー
Scáthachスカサハ	Look at her. She's over there drawing quite a bit of attention to herself.		彼女ならあそこだ。 ずいぶんと突出しているな。
You bandits who threaten the peace of this kingdom... Feel the judgment of the Thunder Goddess!		王国の平和を乱す賊ども。 【雷神】の裁き、その身で受けよ。		Ishtarイシュタル
Sharenaシャロン	I-incredible! She felled all those enemies with a single attack!		す、すごい！　一撃で 大勢の敵をやっつけちゃいました！
Sharenaシャロン	Woah! I guess she isn't called the Thunder Goddess for nothing.		【雷神】のふたつ名は 伊達じゃないですね！
It's very reassuring to have such a powerful Hero fighting on our side.		あれだけの力を持つ英雄が 力を貸してくれるのはとても心強いよ。		Alfonseアルフォンス
Annaアンナ	She requested to be put on the front lines, so I did as I she wished. I had no idea she could do...that.		つねに最前線に置いてくれって言うから 希望どおりにしてみたけど 彼女の働きは予想以上ね。
Only the descendants of the legendary crusader Thrud can use the thunder magic Mjölnir... Seeing it up close like this... Her power is terrifying.		伝説の魔法騎士トード... その血を引く者だけが使える 雷の魔法【トールハンマー】... こうして間近で見ると 恐るべき威力だ。		Arthurアーサー
Scáthachスカサハ	I do find it a bit strange that we are fighting as allies with Princess Ishtar now.		不思議だな。 あのイシュタル王女と...今はこうして 共に戦う仲間となるなんて。
I am not finished with you yet. You cannot escape my thunder!		まだ終わってはいない... 我が雷からは逃げられぬと知れ。		Ishtarイシュタル
Sharenaシャロン	Ah! Ishtar! It isn't safe for you to rush in alone!		あっ！　イシュタルさん！ 一人で突っ込むと危ないですよっ！
Ishtar, wait! Arthur, we have to go after her!		イシュタル姉様...！ 兄様、私たちも追いかけましょう！		Tineティニー
Arthurアーサー	Y-yes, all right!		あ、ああ、わかった...！
...All I can do is fight. Fight, fight, and fight some more... That is my entire existence, now...		...私には戦いしかない。 戦って、戦って、戦って... それが、今の私に許された 唯一の生き方...		Ishtarイシュタル

This Life's Light - C

English・Japanese

Tineティニー	Brother, I’m sorry about the trouble I caused the other day due to my lack of experience.
There’s no need to apologize, Tine. Siblings should support one another. Besides, I wasn’t there for you after mother passed away. Let me make up for that by being here for you now.				Arthurアーサー
Tineティニー	Thank you...
Such strong sentiments... I suppose you two were separated for quite a long time.				Scáthachスカサハ
Tineティニー	Yes. Mother fled from House Friege, taking us with her when she left. Before we could understand what was happening, she and I were both taken back to House Friege. My brother was left behind on his own by mistake.
What a tragic story... My twin sister and I have been together since birth. She’s helped me through many hard times.				Scáthachスカサハ
Arthurアーサー	I will never forgive House Friege for taking my family away from me. But I know the people of Friege are innocent. I will never blame them.
While I was in House Friege, my cousin Ishtar was very good to me. Ishtar really is a kind person who has no desire to fight.				Tineティニー
Arthurアーサー	You say that, and yet... We saw Princess Ishtar fighting with great ferocity earlier. Is that really how someone acts when they don’t wish to fight?
I understand what you’re saying. I did feel like that display was rather startling, as well.				Scáthachスカサハ
Tineティニー	It seems... Well, Ishtar has been acting different since coming to the Kingdom of Askr. It’s troubling.
To a casual observer, her fighting style might appear reckless, but... perhaps there’s a reason for it?				Scáthachスカサハ
Tineティニー	Maybe Ishtar is trying to make amends, and feels she must do so by putting her own life at risk...
Making amends by risking her life?				Scáthachスカサハ

This Life's Light - B

English・Japanese

Scáthachスカサハ	Oh, Princess Ishtar, might I speak with you for a moment?
I suppose. What is it you need?				Ishtarイシュタル
Scáthachスカサハ	There’s something I wanted to ask. Now that you’re here, do you recall that one battle we both fought in?
Yes... I feel as if it’s deeply etched into my memory. The rebel army, led by Princes Seliph... No, I suppose from your perspective it was the liberation army. My life was extinguished when I fought with you in that battle. I suppose that was my fate...				Ishtarイシュタル
Scáthachスカサハ	I still haven’t forgotten what you said back then. ”Here you will witness the final battle of Ishtar, Goddess of Thunder!” Were you expecting to die in that battle from the start?
I...				Ishtarイシュタル
Scáthachスカサハ	If so, are you still looking for a place to perish, even after coming here, to the Kingdom of Askr?
Well... There was someone I loved. However, I...I disobeyed the orders he gave me. I couldn’t allow myself to sacrifice innocent children. So that’s why I...				Ishtarイシュタル
Tineティニー	Cousin!
Tine?				Ishtarイシュタル
Arthurアーサー	I’m sorry. We didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation...
So many lives were lost in that war. And yet... Just like you, everyone chose to fight for those they wanted to protect. That’s what I think we all fought for.				Tineティニー
Ishtarイシュタル	But I...
You did more than just save the lives of those children. By saving those children’s lives, many other lives may be saved in the future. Because of your actions.				Arthurアーサー
Scáthachスカサハ	And among those lives that carry into the future, I think your life should be one of them, Princess Ishtar.
You do?				Ishtarイシュタル
Tineティニー	Of course! I believe that’s why we’re all here together right now.
Do you...think so?				Ishtarイシュタル

This Life's Light - A

English・Japanese

Sharenaシャロン	All right! We have the advantage! Let’s push through!
No, Princess Sharena. We should hold off any further pursuit. We could endanger our allies if we push forward too fast. Let’s hold back and make sure we’re prepared.				Ishtarイシュタル
Sharenaシャロン	Oh! Yes, of course! I was actually just thinking that would be the best way to proceed!
Hey, Alfonse, doesn’t it seem like Princess Ishtar’s fighting style has... changed a little?				Annaアンナ
Alfonseアルフォンス	It does. She’s been even more determined than before, but... It also seems that she’s no longer risking her life, and she’s now keeping pace with her allies in battle.
Hmm. I wonder if she’s experienced a change of heart.				Annaアンナ
Ishtarイシュタル	Why... Why have I been called to this world? What does this world want from me? No matter what I do in this land, whatever my purpose, my sins will never be erased. But even knowing that... If my fighting can help give someone else a better future, then... Then I will devote my life to it!

Scáthach: Astra's Wake

Scáthach: Astra's Wake - C

Scáthach	Did that really just happen? Oh, this is awful... Why did I have to go and do something like that? I only had one chance to make a first impression. If I had only realized sooner! What a miserable fool I am...
You don’t look well, Brother. Cheer up! We all make mistakes now and then. What’s important is learning from the experience and not making the same mistake twice. You make it sound like it’s the end of the world, but how bad could it possibly be?		Larcei
Scáthach	You don’t understand...
Scáthach	I see that the Order of Heroes works with many familiar faces from my world. I wonder if—yes! It is her! It’s wonderful to see you, Larcei. When did you arrive here?
“Larcei”? How do you—		Ayra
Scáthach	I see you decided to grow out your hair. I can’t say it doesn’t suit you, but... Weren’t you always whining that fighting with long hair is a real pain in the butt?
Those eyes... Yes, you must be Scáthach. My, how you’ve grown... But who raised you to greet your mother in such a brazen manner?		Ayra
Scáthach	Come on, I’m just—wait, WHAT? D-did you just say m-m... I, um, it’s a pleasure to meet—I mean, I’m so sorry! I didn’t... Oh no, what have I done?
Wow. Maybe it is the end of the world after all.		Larcei
Scáthach	My first words to our mother were a crude jab about the length of her hair... When I realized who she actually was, my mind went completely blank. And I just...ran.
Wait, you didn’t say anything after that? How do you think Mother feels right now? Come on. We’re going to sort this out this instant. Follow me!		Larcei

Scáthach: Astra's Wake - B

Larcei	It’s true that we were separated from Mother when we were young, and we have only hazy memories of her... But mistaking her for me is a little much, don’t you think? Are we really that similar?
You’re right. I don’t know how I mistook her for you.		Scáthach
Larcei	She’ll probably be at her usual practice spot in the forest. Hmm... Was it this way? Come on.
Hup! Heeyah!		Mareeta
Ayra	Good. That’s enough for today. Remember to step forward when you swing.
Phew! I will. An enlightening lesson as always. Thank you.		Mareeta
Ayra	It would seem we have guests. Ah, Larcei and Scáthach. I see you’ve been reunited in this world as well.
Hello, Mother. Please forgive the intrusion. Might we have a moment of your time? We—		Larcei
Scáthach	Mother, I humbly beg your forgiveness! I was a fool to mistake you for Larcei!
Scáthach, please. I can understand your embarrassment, but it is unfounded. When I first saw Larcei, I felt as if I were looking directly into a mirror.		Ayra
Larcei	Oh! You did?
It makes me very happy to see you both grown into such fine young adults. In another world, fate denied me the chance to see you grow beyond childhood... That is all the more reason to appreciate and treasure our time together here.		Ayra
Scáthach	Mother... Being able to speak with you here, like this...it’s a dream come true.
Ahem...		Mareeta
Scáthach	Oh, I’m sorry. I was a bit caught up in the moment. You are?
I’m Mareeta of Fiana. Nice to meet you. Lady Ayra has been gracious enough to offer personal lessons between my training sessions.		Mareeta
Ayra	But of course. Like you two, Mareeta is a descendant of the Sword Saint Od. As scions of the same bloodline, you would do well to learn from one another.
Of course! I’m looking forward to training with you, Mareeta.		Larcei
Mareeta	And I you, Princess Larcei.
I’m Scáthach. I’ve just been summoned to Askr, so any help is much appreciated.		Scáthach
Mareeta	I will do all I can. But for now, please permit me to take my leave. My training calls.
Hmm... Another descendant of the crusader Od. She does remind me of Mother, somehow.		Scáthach
Ayra	By all rights, she is Isaach’s—no, that thought will lead us nowhere. Larcei, Scáthach... While you are here in Askr, see to it that you protect its people. Do not be distracted by your obligations back in Jugdral. Focus on the here and now.
I understand. I would like nothing more than to fight by your side, Mother!		Scáthach
Ayra	“Mother...”
Is something amiss, Mother?		Larcei

Scáthach: Astra's Wake - A

Ayra	Scáthach, Larcei... You have quickly taken to calling me “mother,” and yet... The fact remains that I have spent almost no time with you two in a motherly capacity.
Well...		Scáthach
Ayra	I do not know how you were raised since arriving here, but I would wager that I was absent. Whether death or some other cruel fate befell me, I was not able to fulfill my role as parent.
That’s not true! After you risked your life to save Prince Shannan, he was able to save us.		Larcei
Ayra	Yet I regret my absence all the same. It was not for him to shoulder my responsibilities as a parent. Scáthach apologized earlier, but in truth it is I who should be apologizing to you. My children... I have caused you so much pain, and for that, I am deeply sorry.
Mother, please! There’s no need for you to apologize!		Larcei
Scáthach	She’s right. There’s not a single thing you should apologize for.
Even so...		Ayra
Scáthach	Prince Shannan was only able to look after us because you had protected him. You may not have raised us, but through your actions, you ensured that we would have a future.
What greater gift could a parent give than that?		Larcei
Ayra	I... Yes. You were indeed raised well— by caring friends and teachers, no doubt. Then let me say, from the heart: I have never been more proud of you both than I am now.

Scáthach: Astra's Wake - S

Scáthach	I believe I speak for us both when I say that Larcei and I are just as proud of you, Mother.
It warms my heart to hear that. I may have missed my opportunity to raise you as children... But I still have plenty of time to teach you about the sword, and I won’t waste a moment more.		Ayra
Larcei	Mother, that stance...
I’m ready, Mother! Please, don’t hold anything back!		Scáthach
Larcei	Hey, no fair! I want to join!
In that case, Larcei, join your brother. I will take you both on at once. For so long, I have known nothing but this sword... You too will know these techniques soon enough.		Ayra
Scáthach	I can’t wait! Let’s go, Larcei! Raaah!
Yes, I’m with you! Hiiiyah!		Larcei
Scáthach	Phew. That was...amazing.
Yes it was! Whew!		Larcei
Scáthach	Mother’s technique was razor-sharp. It proved just how much I have left to learn...
I’ve watched her fight before, but this was my first time on the receiving end of her blade.		Larcei
Scáthach	I could feel her resilience and determination in every strike. Built over years and years... It taught me more about her life than words ever could. It made me happy to know that the paths we walk with our swords are more similar than I realized.
Parents connect with their children in a variety of ways. Even if she didn’t raise us... Bonding over our shared love of the sword may just be what makes our family special.		Larcei
Scáthach	Hah. You know...
What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?		Larcei
Scáthach	You really do look like her.
Oh, come on. Mother is one hundred times more beautiful, even on her worst day.		Larcei
Scáthach	If you say so. But it does also make me wonder... Just how much do I resemble our father?

Ishtar: Echoing Thunder

Ishtar: Echoing Thunder - C

Anna	You’re looking for Prince Julius of the Grannvale Empire?
Yes... I asked the summoner and was informed he had already come to Askr.		Ishtar
Anna	Hm... I’ve seen him a few times on the battlefield, but I don’t know where he is right now, either. He shows up at the start of large battles, but then disappears soon after. As far as I can tell, he isn’t fighting... He’s testing his power.
I see...		Ishtar
Anna	The Order of Heroes works with many Heroes from different worlds, but... We don’t put limitations on what those Heroes can do, or how they think... Or I should say, we can’t. The Heroes are far too powerful, and it’s not as if we can order them to do something against their will.
I see. Thank you for this information, Commander Anna.		Ishtar
Lord Julius... Oh? Is that...		Ishtar
Arvis	...
Lord Arvis!		Ishtar
Arvis	You... You’re that girl from House Friege. Though...the you I know is but a child... You must hail from a different world than my own. Or perhaps you were summoned from a different time.
I presume it to be the latter. It is an honor to meet you again, Lord Arvis. There is something I would like to ask you. Do you know where I might find Lord Julius?		Ishtar
Arvis	Lord Julius? Why?
I was unable to serve him to the end of the wars in Jugdral. I hope that I can at least join our fates together here.		Ishtar
Arvis	...Pathetic. I had wondered why you might seek him. To think your reasons were so misguided.
What?		Ishtar
Arvis	I know not your mutual story, or how it ended. However, I can theorize its course from your words. It is clear it didn’t end as you desired.
I...		Ishtar
Arvis	Do you intend to repeat the same mistakes here? You were not summoned to this land to engage in such foolishness.
I...I just... I simply wished to be with Lord Julius...		Ishtar
Arvis	I have no clue where to find him. Begone.
Lord Arvis! Lord Julius... I...		Ishtar

Ishtar: Echoing Thunder - B

Ishtar	*sigh* Julius remains...utterly elusive... And I...
Phew, there sure is a lot... I guess I’ll just have to carry what we can’t fit on the cart.		Roshea
Julian	There’s no way you can carry it all in one trip. We’ll have to come back a couple times.
Excuse me, but are those supplies being sent to the front?		Ishtar
Lena	No, this is all food for the orphanage. Gifts from Queen Henriette.
Why are Heroes such as yourselves working for an orphanage?		Ishtar
Roshea	We may be Heroes, but we are more than just warriors.
Taking care of children who lost their parents in the war, helping villages recover from natural disasters... There are many ways to aid this land outside of the battlefield.		Julian
Ishtar	I see... Um, would you permit me to help you carry those supplies?
Yes, of course. Your help would be most appreciated.		Lena
Julian	One can never have too many helping hands. As I recall, you are...
I am of the House of... No, I am simply Ishtar.		Ishtar
Roshea	It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ishtar. Now that you’re here, would you mind helping us load the cart?

Ishtar: Echoing Thunder - A

Lena	Hello, Ishtar. Thank you for coming back in to the orphanage to help.
I am not used to this sort of thing, but so long as I am not an inconvenience, I’d like to help.		Ishtar
Lucius	Inconvenience? Don’t be silly! We’re all grateful for your help. Especially the children!
That’s right. You offering your assistance means the world.		Lugh
Ishtar	Th-thank you.
Ishtar	How sweet...
It’s nice being able to watch kids enjoying themselves and acting like children, isn’t it?		Julian
Ishtar	Yes. It is, truly...
If I may... I was wondering... There’s a look in your eyes when you watch them. You almost seem sad.		Julian
Ishtar	I...I suppose...
You know, not all Heroes come from a saintly past. Many of us have troubled histories. I’m not saying that is the case, but... Did something happen to you?		Julian
Ishtar	Yes... There were terrible campaigns in my home world. Atrocities without end. And they targeted children. So many children were stolen from their families. So much despair... And that pain was used to fuel a dark god.
Such inhumanity... I’m afraid that it seems to exist in all worlds.		Julian
Ishtar	It was Lord Julius who ordered the hunts. Try as I might, I could not convince him they were heinous. And so, I set the children free in secret. But I could only save so many. Many a child fell victim...
I see. That would explain the sadness in your eyes.		Julian
Ishtar	I fear my sins will not be expunged simply by my helping at this orphanage. To think that I was part of something that tore happy children from the loving embraces of their parents... I...
You may not be able to change your past, nor will those wrongs disappear. But the future is yours to shape. I learned that from someone dear to me.		Julian

Ishtar: Echoing Thunder - S

Julian	I too led a dark life until I was able to join Prince Marth’s army.
Oh?		Ishtar
Julian	That sense of guilt did not disappear, even after I found those who became precious to me. But once I began helping the children of the orphanage, my way of thinking gradually began to change. Now I believe that the most important way to make up for the sins of your past is living for the future.
Living...for the future...		Ishtar
Julian	As long as there are wars, there will be suffering children. But if we can help those children in some small way, that will impact the future. Of that I’m certain.
...		Ishtar
Julian	Think of it this way. It matters not to the children if working for redemption is a self-serving act. What is important to them is feeling safe, and being able to smile again.
You’re right... I will think on what I can do to bring peace and happiness to these children’s lives. The path I choose to trend from here on may be in defiance of Lord Julius’s wishes... But I wish for the life that I have here and now... I wish to be a light, however dim, that illuminates the people’s future. Until the time comes for the light of my own life to end...		Ishtar

Arthur: Furious Mage

Arthur: Furious Mage - C

Alfonse	Phew... That was some hard work. Why don’t we wrap up training here? Excellent job, everyone.
You did quite well yourself, Prince Alfonse.		Fjorm
Arthur	Training in real combat situations like this helps me learn a lot thanks to the sense of urgency it provides.
Arthur, your moves were fantastic. It’s hard to believe you were only just summoned here to Askr.		Alfonse
Sharena	Great hustle out there, everyone. Here—I arranged a meal for you!
Sharena	There’s some fruit soaked in honey. It’s a little bit sour. The perfect thing to perk you right up!
Thank you, Sharena. Oh, these are good. That sour edge packs quite the punch when you’re worn out. How about we hand some out to the other Heroes too? Since you worked hard to make them, I’ll help.		Alfonse
Sharena	Sure!
Huh...		Arthur
Fjorm	Prince Alfonse and Princess Sharena really are quite close, aren’t they?
Yes, they certainly seem to be. Watching them get along so well actually puts me in a better mood.		Arthur
Fjorm	Weren’t you summoned to Askr along with your younger sister?
Yes. I was fortunate enough to come here with my little sister, Tine. But, well...		Arthur
Fjorm	But what? Is there something not going well between you?
My little sister and I were separated at a very young age. We’ve only been reunited just recently. After so many years apart...searching, we’re finally together again. I am happy that we are, and yet... We were apart for such a long time. I’m not sure how to act around her...how to be a good brother.		Arthur
Fjorm	I see... You know, I’ve noticed that there are quite a few Heroes whose siblings also work with the Order of Heroes. You could always take time to talk to some of them? Maybe by doing so, you’ll learn a bit about how to act around your sister?

Arthur: Furious Mage - B

Arthur	So, this is the Great Library of Askr, huh? I’ve never seen so many books in one place before.
I was quite moved the first time I saw it too. I’ve heard that this impressive library expands its collection every day. I’m fairly certain that... Oh, there they are, over there. Reinhardt and his younger sister, Olwen.		Fjorm
Reinhardt	So, it’s not just on the continent of Jugdral. Swords that harbor thunder magic exist in other lands too.
I suppose that means swords and thunder magic share a deep connection after all?		Olwen
Reinhardt	This might be something worth investigating more deeply.
You seem more enthusiastic about studying magic lately, Brother. Could that be because of the recent arrival of Princess Ishtar?		Olwen
Reinhardt	My desire to protect her has not changed, even here in Askr. I have also been asked to appear on the battlefield and to handle various Order of Heroes matters lately. I can’t allow myself to disappoint them, can I?
So much dedication. I could really learn from your example.		Olwen
Arthur	Hmm, all right... I’ve heard others talking about these two siblings. About the way they bring out the best in each other. That’s probably an ideal sibling relationship.
Yes, I agree with you. I think there is a lot you could learn from them. Oh, there’s another pair of siblings.		Fjorm
Luthier	Hey, are you listening to me? Delthea! If you act irresponsibly and do as you please, others will resent you. This isn’t the remote village we grew up in. Cooperation is critical to living together as a group.
Ugh, you nag me about everything! I’m actively taking part in battles, and I’m getting results!		Delthea
Luthier	It’s not enough for you to be active. I said as much before, didn’t I? It’s not enough to just seek strength. I want you to become someone who everyone loves.
Sure, I’ll think about it...as soon as YOU become someone who is loved by everyone. Come back and talk to me when you have a hundred friends.		Delthea
Luthier	Ah! Hey! Hold on! Don’t run off into the library!
Uh... L-let’s move on, shall we?		Fjorm
Arthur	Yes, let’s.

Arthur: Furious Mage - A

Fjorm	Well, that was perplexing, but it did seem like there was an element of trust between Luthier and Delthea. In a way, those who might also be seen as an ideal example of siblings.
Hm...		Arthur
Fjorm	I have an older brother too. He would scold me, but in an effort to correct my mistakes. He did it to help me. Those memories are still etched deeply in my heart, even now.
I think I understand. You mean that sometimes it can be necessary for siblings to be stern with each other?		Arthur
Fjorm	As long as you aren’t too stern, it can help to build a strong relationship. Oh... There’s another pair of siblings over at the training grounds.
Hah!		Yen'fay
Say'ri	Hyah!
They’re sword training, and facing each other down fiercely. That’s incredible. Even from this distance, I can feel the strength of their spirits.		Arthur
Say'ri	Brother, this time I will make you swing your sword at me for real! We are not brother and sister here. We are two warriors who put their all into the swing of their blades!
Enough words. It’s time for you to show me your resolve!		Yen'fay
Say'ri	Hiyaaah!
Hm!		Yen'fay
Arthur	What a savage attack! It’s almost like watching a real battle.
It does seem like it. I suppose they’re just training, or...		Fjorm
Arthur	What?! That attack... If she dodged a second later, she might have died... Princess Fjorm, should we put a stop to this? This has gone beyond the limits of a training exercise.
Y-yes, I think you’re right. If this goes on, one of those two might d—		Fjorm
Anna	All right! That’s quite enough! Stop this immediately!
Hmph...		Yen'fay
Say'ri	Commander Anna...
It’s great to give it your all, but if you take this any further, you won’t be walking away from it!		Anna
Say'ri	I am terribly sorry. I got caught up in the moment.
Let’s call it a day, then. But I won’t go easy on you next time. If you want to fulfill your ambitions, you should hone your skills further.		Yen'fay
Anna	I told you, that’s enough for today! Tone it down already!
I’m glad Commander Anna stepped in when she did.		Fjorm
Arthur	I suppose that is just a different kind of sibling relationship. They polish their skills through rivalry... I see.

Arthur: Furious Mage - S

Arthur	Even though they are all siblings, their relationships are very different.
Yes, I would agree, after seeing so many different pairs of siblings. I don’t think you need force it. I hope you and Tine can get closer naturally as you spend more time together. Hm... Is that...		Fjorm
Tine	Princess Fjorm, good day to you. Oh, um, Arthur... Could I maybe have a moment of your time?
What’s on your mind, Tine? Is there something bothering you?		Arthur
Tine	Ah, nothing’s bothering me, I just... Well, if you have time... I was hoping you would share a meal with me.
A meal?		Arthur
Tine	I just thought...if I could spend some time with my brother, then maybe... We could each get to know one another a little bit more.
I see... Sorry, Tine. I didn’t mean to make you go to any trouble over me.		Arthur
Fjorm	Hehe. It looks like you both feel the same way about each other.
Tine. We were separated for a long time, but we are each other’s only siblings. I’m sure that if we both try, then over time, we can build a strong relationship between us.		Arthur
Tine	Y-yes! I think so too!

Tine: Rumbling Thunder

Tine: Rumbling Thunder - C

Reginn	It’s a new day, and I’m going to train my hardest so I can be the kind of hero the world needs!
...		Tine
Reginn	Hm? It looks like there’s someone near the training grounds. Hey! What are you up to? Are you here to train?
Huh? Oh... No, I was just...just here to observe.		Tine
Reginn	Just observing? Well, in that case, you’ll get a much better view if you actually step inside the grounds. What’s your name, anyway? You were just summoned here, right?
I was, yes. I’m Tine. And if I remember right, you’re Princess Reginn, of Niðavellir. I remembered you because, well... because your armor was so unusual.		Tine
Reginn	Hehe, nice to meet you, Tine! You’re a mage, right? I think there are some other mages down in the training grounds right now. Let’s go!
OK, just gotta get the timing right. And here...I...go!		Linde
Mae	Let’s settle this!
That’s it! All right!		Tailtiu
Mae	Wow! That was amazing. We were perfectly in sync.
We’re becoming even more in tune. It’s almost like we’ve been close friends our entire lives, even though we came from different worlds!		Tailtiu
Tine	Wow... This is the first time I’ve seen my mother smile like that. She seems so happy...
What was that? Did you need to talk to Tailtiu? One sec, I’ll go get her!		Reginn
Tine	Huh? W-wait! Princess Reginn!
Oh, Tine! Look who I brought!		Reginn
Tailtiu	There isn’t anyone here...
Huh? Wait, what? Tine? She was just here a minute ago. Where did she run off to?		Reginn
Tailtiu	Reginn... What did you say the girl’s name was?
She said her name was Tine.		Reginn
Tailtiu	Hm, I see. Tine...

Tine: Rumbling Thunder - B

Tine	Arthur...do you think it’s a good idea for us to meet our mother in this world?
I dunno. I’d like to meet her as much as you do. But...I’m worried that, if we do meet her, she’ll learn about the cruel fate awaiting her.		Arthur
Tine	Yeah...
Mother took us with her after the Battle of Belhalla. She didn’t intend to return to House Friege. But you were both taken back there later...by force.		Arthur
Tine	All I remember after being forced back there was the sad look on her face. She was treated so horribly...I can’t even talk about it. It drove her to her death... *sob*
As horrible as it was, we can’t hold it against the people of Friege. It was Bloom and his wife, Hilda, who caused Mother’s suffering. They are the monsters we must destroy.		Arthur
Tine	I know...
The version of Mother who exists in this world doesn’t know of her fate. We can’t tell her about the tragedy awaiting her. I would hate to cause her any more suffering...		Arthur
Tailtiu	Who’s suffering? What in the world are you two talking about?
Mother!		Tine
Arthur	Wh-why are you here?
Well, a better question is, are you two really my children? I asked Commander Anna about you. She said you’re my kids from the future!		Tailtiu
Arthur	She did? Ugh, I know she means well, but...
Oh, wow! Wow! You two really ARE my children? Hehe, this is so exciting!		Tailtiu

Tine: Rumbling Thunder - A

Tailtiu	Oh! That pendant...
Yes...it’s all I have left of my mother.		Tine
Tailtiu	I remember it! Yes, that was mine!
She gave me a pendant too.		Arthur
Tailtiu	I remember that one as well! Wow, you two really are my children. This is just amazing! Here I am, not even married, and I’m meeting my fully grown children. Just...wow.
I...I... *sob*		Tine
Tailtiu	Huh? Wh-what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Was it something I said?
*sniff* No, it’s not you. It’s just... I’ve never seen my mother smile like that before, and... *sob* The mother that I knew... She always looked so sad... *sniff*		Tine
Tailtiu	Hmm... I think I understand. This is all a bit too complicated for me, but it sounds like something happened... Wait, hold on... Why did it take you this long to come and meet me?
Well... We did want to meet you right away. Really. But...		Arthur
Tailtiu	I’m listening...

Tine: Rumbling Thunder - S

Tailtiu	I...I think I understand. I’m assuming that something bad is going to happen to me in the future?
What, how did you...		Tine
Tailtiu	And let me guess—you avoided meeting me because you were scared I’d find out.
Well...		Arthur
Tailtiu	I was right! But it’s fine, really. You know the “me” from another world. She’s the one you’re worried about. The thing is, the “me” you’re standing before right now doesn’t necessarily have to share that same fate.
Wait, really?		Arthur
Tailtiu	Well, to be honest, I don’t fully grasp it myself, but I heard something from 【Summoner】. Apparently Jugdral exists in multiple worlds. There are as many alternate futures as there are alternate worlds. So everyone’s destiny in each of those worlds is different. Or, well, something like that!
So...that means... Our mother here... She—I mean, you—might have a different fate than the one we knew...		Tine
Tailtiu	Exactly! That said, there’s one thing I don’t want to change: I hope I’m fated to have you two as my children. You both seem like wonderful kids, and I don’t think I’d change you for the world.
Hearing you say that... *sniff* That makes me so happy. Our mother suffered such a cruel fate. If there’s a chance that you can change the future...		Arthur
Tine	I want nothing more than for you to have a happy future, even if you aren’t quite the mother we knew.
Don’t worry about that! I’m sure my destiny will change now that I’ve met you both! Maybe you were called here to help me change my destiny... Never know!		Tailtiu
Tine	Hehe, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so happy, Mother.
I think just seeing your smile made coming to Askr worthwhile.		Arthur
Tailtiu	I appreciate that, but you can’t let that be your only goal in Askr. There are so many battles happening right now. They need all the help they can get, so I’ll be calling on you!
Of course, Mother. It would be an honor.		Arthur
Tine	I’ll do whatever I can to help. With the three of us together, I believe we can make any future possible!
