Wolfウルフ

I see... So that's the situation.

なるほどな...
アスク王国の状況は理解した。

Enemy forces appearing endlessly
from other worlds...

異界から絶え間なく
敵の勢力が現れる、か...


Sedgarザガロ

Rosheaロシェ

You've been fighting a difficult battle
for quite some time, haven't you?

大変な戦いを
ずっと続けてきたんだね。

It's not hard to understand why—an
abundant land like this makes for
an obvious target.

これほどまでに豊かな国だ。
狙われるのは無理もない。


Vylandビラク

Peonyピアニー

Yes... It was for the sake of Askr that
【Summoner】 sent for you.

【Summoner】さんも
この国のことを思って
あなたたちに助けを求めたと思うの。

If possible, I would like as many
Heroes as possible to lend their
strength to defending Askr.

...But I am aware that this request
will be difficult, and is for the cause
of a country other than your own.

Even so, can I ask for your
cooperation?

アスク王国を守るために
今は一人でも多くの英雄に
力を貸してほしいんだ。

困難を伴う申し出であるのはわかってる。
そのうえで、みんなの協力を
お願いできないだろうか?


Alfonseアルフォンス

Maliceマリス

I don't give a damn about any of that.
If the pay's good, I'm happy to work
for anyone.

俺は構わないぜ。
金払いのいい雇い主なら
喜んで働かせてもらう。

The longer a war draws out, the more
children it will leave without parents.
Wolf, don't you think... Huh? Wolf?

戦争が続いているってことは
当然、親を失った子どもたちも
たくさんいるってことだよね。

ウルフ、ぼくたちも...


Rosheaロシェ

Wolfウルフ

...

Understood. We, the Coyote's Men,
shall lend our aid to the Order of
Heroes as well.

......

わかった、我ら【狼騎士団】も
ヴァイス・ブレイヴに力を貸そう。

Really?! Thank you!

ほんとに!? ありがとう...!

Peonyピアニー

Wolfウルフ

But do not expect us to bend the
knee to you. Our true allegiance lies
toward Lord Hardin, and him alone.

We will cooperate with you, but our
loyalty to him will never waver.
Now, I believe we are done here.

だが、我らが主と仰ぐのは
ハーディン様のみ。

協力はするが、主への忠誠を
違えるつもりはない。

...Hey, wait! Wolf! Sedgar!
Vyland?! Hold on!

E-excuse us, Prince Alfonse.

あっ、ウルフ...!
ザガロもビラクも待ってよ。
アルフォンス王子、失礼します...


Rosheaロシェ

Peonyピアニー

...

They left...

......。
行っちゃった...

Knights often bear a lot of weight on
their shoulders, but I get the feeling
those four have led very difficult lives.

騎士ってのは、いろいろと
背負っているものがあるんだろうが
なんだか生きづらそうだな。


Maliceマリス

Peonyピアニー

Right. Um, Prince Alfonse...
Is the Hardin they admire...?

あの、アルフォンスさん...
彼らが慕うハーディン様って?

Yes. He was summoned to Askr
before Wolf and the rest.

...But not as the Prince Hardin they
knew—not as the man called Coyote
who fought alongside Prince Marth.

The Hardin in this world fell to the
corruption of the Darksphere, and
became the Dark Emperor...

うん。彼はウルフたちより前に
アスク王国に召喚されているよ。

でも、マルス王子とともに戦い
【草原の狼】と呼ばれていた
ハーディン王子ではない。

この世界にいるのは
闇のオーブで暗黒皇帝となった
ハーディンなんだ...

Vylandビラク

Sorry for the wait. I gathered
some information.

What do you have for us? Did you
find out anything about Lord Hardin?


Sedgarザガロ

Vylandビラク

The rumors were true.

The Lord Hardin in this world
is the Emperor of the Holy
Empire of Archanea.

...


Wolfウルフ

Vylandビラク

However, no one knows where he is.
He appears on the battlefield, but he
disappears once the fighting is over.

Lord Hardin... I wonder if he is being
drawn to battle somehow.


Rosheaロシェ

Sedgarザガロ

What shall we do, Wolf? You are the
leader of the Coyote’s Men. We will
follow your decision.

Do we still intend to prioritize our
loyalty to Lord Hardin above all else,
as we told Prince Alfonse?


Vylandビラク

Rosheaロシェ

Or shall we fight as individual Heroes
for the sake of the people of Askr?

...


Wolfウルフ

Peonyピアニー

Oh! There you are!
The Coyote’s Men!

Um, let me see here... Unless I am
mistaken, I believe your name is
Peony. You’re...a ljósálfr, right?


Rosheaロシェ

Wolfウルフ

What business do you have with us?

Um, so... There’s something
I wanted to tell you.

It’s about Lord Hardin, whom
you have all sworn fealty to.


Peonyピアニー

Vylandビラク

Lord Hardin? Well, let’s hear it!

...I think I’d like to hear this as well.

We were summoned to Askr together,
so I suspect we may end up fighting
alongside each other at some point.

If that happens, I’d like to know that
I can trust you all to watch my back.


Maliceマリス

Wolfウルフ

...

With Conviction - B

Background image: 002_PlainForest

Wolfウルフ

The people of the plains were
subjugated by the aristocrats of
Aurelis for many years...

But Lord Hardin saved us.

Lord Hardin always supported his
older brother, the king, and was
devoted to helping the people.

Together with Prince Marth, he
battled the Shadow Dragon,
Medeus, and freed Aurelis.


Sedgarザガロ

Vylandビラク

He always led the charge, with us,
the Coyote’s Men, right behind him
every step of the way.

The pride of royalty and love for the
people... And above all else, the
nobility of a warrior...

Lord Hardin exemplified all of these.

What an amazing person! The more
I hear about him, the more I realize
what an incredible hero he must be.

Peonyピアニー

Maliceマリス

Gotta say, he sounds nothing like
my old man—all HE ever does is
gamble away the money I earn.

...Sorry, I shouldn’t compare them.
Lord Hardin doesn’t deserve that.

Well, it’s not such a stretch. We were
mere orphans, but Lord Hardin gave
us the opportunity to become knights.


Rosheaロシェ

Sedgarザガロ

If not for him, we would have all died
on the side of a road somewhere.

Right. Our debt to him is far too vast
to ever pay back, even if we had
countless lifetimes.


Vylandビラク

Peonyピアニー

He’s very precious to you, isn’t he?

Lord Hardin treated us as family.

...No, not just us. All of the people
of Aurelis were his family.


Wolfウルフ

Maliceマリス

Right, right... But the things I’ve
heard about Emperor Hardin are...
Well, they’re not nearly as pleasant.

I think it was after he married
Princess Nyna of Archanea and
became Emperor...

If I had to guess, I’d say that’s when
things started to go wrong.

...


Wolfウルフ

Maliceマリス

Oh, sorry. I don’t mean to badmouth
someone you respect.

...No, you’re right. Lord Hardin, he...
He changed.


Rosheaロシェ

Wolfウルフ

Roshea!

No one has said it, but we’ve all felt
it by now. Or at least we should have.

The kindness that saved us and
wished for the peace of the land...
It’s gone.


Rosheaロシェ

Peonyピアニー

The peace of the land...
Was that his dream?

Yes, he has always wished for peace.


Vylandビラク

Peonyピアニー

Lord Hardin’s dream, huh...

But you know, I don’t think dreams
are something that belong to just
one person.

After all, there are dreams that
people share with those closest to
them, and pursue together.

So...I’m sure all of you share
Lord Hardin’s dream.

...


Wolfウルフ

Sedgarザガロ

We rode across many a battlefield
with him.

Not to conquer, but to bring to
life his dream...

Wolf, do you remember why we
set out across the land, long ago?
I believe we mustn’t forget that...


Rosheaロシェ

Wolfウルフ

“Spill blood, not for country or king,
but for the people,” was it? Hmph.

...

Background image: 002_PlainForest

Rosheaロシェ

Phew, that was a fierce battle. Malice,
thank you for earlier. You saved me.

Prince Alfonse’s the one you should
be thanking. I’m just doin’ my job.


Maliceマリス

Vylandビラク

Wolf! It’s him! Lord Hardin is out
on the western front!

What?!


Wolfウルフ

Lord Hardin!


Wolfウルフ

Hardinハーディン

...

...No. The Lord Hardin who was
summoned to Askr... This is not
the man we knew.


Rosheaロシェ

Wolfウルフ

Lord Hardin, it is I, Wolf! I know we
are late, but the Coyote’s Men are
here and reporting for duty.

Sedgar, here.


Sedgarザガロ

Vylandビラク

Vyland, reporting in.

...


Rosheaロシェ

Hardinハーディン

...

Actually, we have a request for you,
Lord Hardin. Please allow us to ride
across the land and spill blood...

For the future of those living here—
for the people of Askr. Please allow
us to put that first, above all else.


Wolfウルフ

Hardinハーディン

...

...Lord Hardin?


Wolfウルフ

Sedgarザガロ

Lord Hardin!

...

He left... Without saying a word...


Vylandビラク

Maliceマリス

Ha... Seeing him up close like that
was somethin’ else. Talk about an
intimidating presence!

So, what’s up with the silence? Was
that his way of telling you to do what
you want? That IS what it was, right?

Does Lord Hardin no longer
remember who we are? Or...


Sedgarザガロ

Rosheaロシェ

Did he give his permission for us
to follow our convictions? If nothing
else, I want to believe that he did.

The dream we saw that day with
Lord Hardin... It lives on inside us.

Then what we must do is apparent.
We will ride more fiercely and more
swiftly than any other toward that ideal.


Vylandビラク

Maliceマリス

...Y’know, I used to wonder how
knights weren’t crushed under the
weight of their responsibilities.

But I think I get it now. All those
duties, and burdens—they’re actually
a source of strength for you.

...

The Coyote’s Men will ride across the
land as allies of the Order of Heroes,
and for the sake of the people...

That is how we will give shape to the
dream we shared with Lord Hardin.

Balthus

Ahhh! Another loss! Why can’t I win?!

One more! I’m definitely gonna win
this time, I can feel it!

Baltie, you’ve already burned through
all your war funds. Isn’t it about time
you call it quits?


Hilda

Balthus

You’re not wrong that I’m outta
money, but... Ending it here would
be like admitting defeat.

Besides, there’s no way I lose
next round. My luck’s about to
turn around, just you watch!

So, Hilda... Mind lending your old
pal some coin?

*sigh* Can’t you see you’re just
digging yourself deeper?


Hilda

Malice

Sorry, but I’ve gotta say something.
Gambling is rigged—try whatever you
want, but the house always wins.

So unless you wanna end up deep
in the hole, learn to control yourself.

Huh? Who’re you?


Balthus

Malice

I’m a mercenary. Name’s Malice. My
sword doesn’t come cheap, but Askr
is willing to foot the bill, so here I am.

But who cares about that—are you
seriously not going to listen to your
friend?

I can’t just sit here and watch while
you ignore someone who’s worried
about you, so shape up.

Oh, uh... Hm, how to say this... I may
have gotten caught up in the action.


Balthus

Malice

Hmph. Honestly, I would have just
minded my own business, but after
hearing the two of you...

Anyway, I’ll be goin’ now.

Th-thank you.


Balthus

Hilda

Malice, huh? Baltie, do the right
thing and etch her words onto
your heart.

All right, all right. She may have
had a point. Guess I’ll go cool
my head for a bit...


Balthus

Malice: Deft Sellsword - B

Background image: 005_Castle

Hilda

Oh! Malice!

You... You’re the girl from the other
day. Where’s your friend? I got the
impression you two were close, but...


Malice

Hilda

Well, I call him Baltie, and we have
known each other for ages, but he’s
really more like my brother’s friend.

Oh, but don’t worry—my brother
is WAY more put together!

Hmph. Well, it’s good that you
two get along. See ya.


Malice

Hilda

W-wait a minute! I haven’t even
thanked you for your help the
other day.

Ha, you’re more responsible than you
look. But don’t worry about it—like I
said, I just couldn’t help butting in.

You can try, but it’s not like you can
talk sense into ‘em. Usually.

If anything, the fact that he actually
listened means he’s not as bad off
as some that I know.


Malice

Hilda

Well, Baltie never listens to me, so
I really am grateful for your help.

But, um... When you talk about
gambling, are you speaking from
personal experience?

You said the house always wins,
so I figured you must have gone
through something similar.

I don’t gamble.

...But I’ve got a family member who
really loves to, even though he’s
terrible at it.


Malice

Hilda

Ah, so THAT’S why you had to say
something when you saw Baltie.

It sounds like our situations are sort
of similar! If you have any other
advice, I’d be thrilled to hear it!

That’ll cost you...is what I’d normally
say, but I guess fate brought us
together.

So if you’re fine with gettin’ advice
from me, then I’m fine with givin’ it.


Malice

Hilda

Really? Thank you!

Malice: Deft Sellsword - A

Background image: 005_Castle

Malice

You want to get him to fully
quit gambling?

That’s right. I don’t really have a
problem with it if he’s doing it in
moderation, like you said...

But it’s all he’s been doing lately.
It’s almost like he thinks he came
to Askr just to gamble!


Hilda

Malice

...He’s got it bad.

Yeah, his gambling put him deep into
debt back in Fódlan. We’re talking
debt collectors and bounty hunters.

After being summoned to Askr, he
really seemed like he was going to
make a fresh start.

...But then he ended up losing himself
in gambling yet again.

I’ve tried everything I can think of,
but at this point I just don’t know
what to say! Do you have any ideas?


Hilda

Malice

Nope.

You could have at least pretended
to think about it!


Hilda

Malice

Why bother? I couldn’t even get
my own father to quit gambling.

Ah, so the relative who likes
gambling... That was your father.

Hm... Getting someone to quit
gambling is really difficult, isn’t it...


Hilda

Malice

Eh, in my case, I gave up.

It may not be right, but I couldn’t be
the one who forced him to change.
I just can’t see him any other way.

...


Hilda

Malice

I’m not saying he’s a great father,
because he’s not. But he is the only
family I’ve got left.

I don’t have the heart to take
something he loves so much
away from him.

Sure, he might lose all the money
I give him, but he still seems to have
fun along the way.

I can always make more money.
What I can’t do is buy his smile.

People like him aren’t in it to win big
and live the easy life. They just enjoy
the thrill that comes with the game.

I-I see...


Hilda

Malice

But that’s not to say I like gambling.
I just want to let my old man do what
he loves, while I still have him.

So what you’re saying is, he’s
a gambler. If he quit, he’d be
something else.

It’s pretty stark when you put it
like that, isn’t it? What to do...


Hilda

Malice: Deft Sellsword - S

Background image: 005_Castle

Balthus

Damn it! I lost again!

B-but that’s no problem. After all,
I’m still just getting into the groove.
Next round will go my way for sure...

...


Hilda

Balthus

What, not gonna tell me off for
gambling? That doesn’t sound
like you, Hilda.

Not this time, Baltie.

I know gambling means a lot to you,
so instead of getting angry, I’m trying
a slightly...different approach.


Hilda

Balthus

Ohoho, so you finally get it! That’s
right—gambling is when my soul
shines brightest!

Oh, speaking of, I need to ask you for
a favor. Any chance you could spare
a bit of coin for... Hey! What the hell!

Wh-who is that?! Who dares grab
the King of Grappling by the back
of the neck?!

This sure reminds me of old times...
Guess you and my father really do
share the same flaws.

If you’re going to gamble, the least
you can do is earn the money for
it yourself.


Malice

Hilda

Malice!

Hold on... You’re the lady from the
other— Urk! My neck! Ow! That hurts!
It’s not supposed to twist like that!


Balthus

Malice

I just got some mercenary work
from Anna & Company.

C’mon. You’re comin’ with me.
I’ll get ya earnin’ plenty of coin!

Ow! OWWW!

D-don’t I get a say in this?!


Balthus

Hilda

Nope. After all, you’ll be less likely to
waste money earned through your
own sweat and tears, right, Baltie?

So give it your best, OK?

Damn it! I was going to win the next
round! Stop! Let me go back!


Balthus

Hilda

Not happening. You’ll just have to
settle for wasting whatever you earn
after helping Malice!

Oh, that’s Rath! It looks like he’s
polishing his archery skills as well.

Rath’s also quite good with the bow.
In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen
him miss a shot!

If anything, it’s almost as if the targets
move into the path of his arrows.


Anna

Wolf

Hmph. It appears there are other
skilled archers assisting the Order of
Heroes. However— Ha!

Wooow! I can’t believe he landed
that shot while his horse was moving
so quickly!


Sharena

Rath

...

Huh. Rath started firing arrows a lot
faster. Could they be...competing with
each other?


Anna

Wolf

Yah! Ha!

...


Rath

Sharena

Hmm... That felt like a draw, which
means they’re evenly matched!

Aaand it looks like all the other
Heroes have dropped what they
were doing to watch.

I guess seeing who comes out on top
takes priority over training!


Anna

Wolf

To aim so accurately while riding
a horse...he is not an average man,
that much is certain.

...


Rath

Wolf

You... You’re the archer from the
other day. That was some fantastic
archery. Your skills are impressive.

...Yours are as well.


Rath

Wolf

I am Wolf, a man of the plains, raised
in Aurelis, and one of the Coyote’s
Men. Pleasure to meet you.

I am Rath, of the Kutolah tribe.
I was born in the plains of Sacae.


Rath

Wolf

The plains of Sacae... That must
be a great land indeed.

It is. Several tribes lived there,
grateful to the land and sky for
their blessings.

The Kutolah tribe was one of them...
We live with pride, with the wind
as our constant companion.


Rath

Wolf

Living with pride, and trusting in
the wind... That does not sound too
distant from the way we once lived.

...

It seems you have a story to tell.
Please, if it wouldn’t bother you...
I think I would like to hear it.


Rath

Wolf

...

The people of the plains have
long been oppressed.

The plains themselves burned in the
flames of conflict, and the bonds of
my people were torn apart.

...


Rath

Wolf

Our land was occupied by a larger
country. We lived forever in fear of
what pain the next day might bring.

Pride was...not something we
were allowed to hold on to.

But there was a hero—one who
gave us hope, and a future.
He was...Lord Hardin.

Wolf: Coyote's Loyal - A

Background image: 002_PlainForest

Wolf

Thanks to Lord Hardin’s efforts, the
people of the plains were able to
reclaim their pride.

And for those who had lost their
families, Lord Hardin offered a
chance to become warriors.

So your encounter with him...
...was ushered in by Father Sky.


Rath

Wolf

Lord Hardin gave the people of the
plains a chance to live, and the
weapons needed to protect that life.

We gazed upon his back as we
rode across countless battlefields...

That was the first time I truly felt as if
I were living as a man of the plains.

It is a happy thing to have
someone like that to guide you.

A leader who can ensure that the
lives of the people and their pride
can carry on into the future.

Just as the plains spring to life with
the passing of each winter, so too are
sentiments passed down endlessly.


Rath

Wolf

...

Endless, huh... Those days ended
far too soon. And Lord Hardin
changed far too much.

He sought to subjugate the continent
with power, and cast aside the
kindness that had saved us...

Is that not the same path the country
that oppressed your people took?


Rath

Wolf

...Perhaps. But it is still my duty to
follow Lord Hardin, no matter what.
That is the way of the Coyote’s Men...

...


Rath

Wolf

However, Lord Hardin did say
this as well:

“Should I ever make a grave error,
I want you, the Coyote’s Men,
to correct it by your own hand.”

Wolf: Coyote's Loyal - S

Background image: 002_PlainForest

Rath

To defend his own is the code
of a Sacaen warrior. We will
never abandon our brethren.

...


Wolf

Rath

But we do not protect only our kin.
We are also sworn to protect our
way of life, and our peoples' pride.

Your way of life and your pride...


Wolf

Rath

I have no right to tell you how to live
your life. However, if a plainsman of
Sacae were in your circumstances...

They would probably consider what
it was they should truly be protecting.

Hmm... I see. Thank you, Rath. I think
I have begun to see the path that the
Coyote’s Men should go down.


Wolf

Rath

Of course. I, too, had a leader—the
Silver Wolf—who rode ahead of me,
leaving me but to follow.

Perhaps Lord Hardin’s past ideals
and hopes were passed down to us
for the future.


Wolf

Rath

If you are uncertain, try listening to
the wind.

The wind that blows across the plains
is always blowing toward the future.

It will never blow toward the past,
for the wind teaches our souls
the path we should follow.

Yes. You are right.

I smell something nostalgic in the
wind here in Askr.

We shall ride to the future, in order
to protect the pride of the people
of the plains.


Wolf

Rath

And I will pray that you are blessed
by Father Sky and Mother Earth.

Fjorm

Hmm... Vyland isn’t here either...
Could he have gone to the western
front alone?

Oh, Sue! Have you seen Vyland?

Hello, Princess Fjorm. He was here,
but he left for the battlefield to the
west some time ago. See, there he is.


Sue
Fjorm

E-excuse me? Can you really tell
that’s him from this distance? He
looks barely bigger than a bean...

Members of the Kutolah tribe
have good eyes. That said...
Isn’t he overextended?

If he keeps this up, he’ll soon
be surrounded by enemies.


Sue
Fjorm

Aren’t the other members of the
Coyote’s Men defending the eastern
front? We must go help him!

You won’t catch up to him without
a horse... I’ll go.


Sue
Fjorm

Ah, Sue! I’ll be right there!

Fjorm

Wh-whew! Thank goodness.
We made it in time...

That was a great help. Thank you.


Vyland

Fjorm

I wish I could have done more,
but I’m glad you are unscathed.
That is what’s most important.

...

Cutting your way into enemy ranks
alone... Your courage is certainly
deserving of respect.

However, I cannot agree with an
approach that does not concern
itself with the lives at risk.


Sue

Vyland

...

I see. I will keep that in mind.
Now, if you’ll excuse me...

You’re right, Sue. Vyland is pushing
himself far past his limits.


Fjorm

Sue

...

Vyland: Coyote's Justice - B

Background image: 002_PlainForest

Sue

Princess Fjorm... May I leave
this area to you?

Huh? Y-yes, that’s fine! The enemy’s
numbers have thinned, so I should be
able to keep this area under control.

But what’s the matter? Is there a
problem of some kind?


Fjorm

Sue

Look over there—Vyland is
overextending again.

Ah! I can’t make him out at all, but
I can see the dust cloud rising up.

Fjorm

Sue

There’s still time, but I will have to
move swiftly.

No enemies in sight... Looks like we
were able to fend off the bandits.


Vyland
Fjorm

Phew... It worked out.

That is the second time you’ve
saved me, Sue. Thank you.


Vyland

Sue

...

Vyland, tell me something. Why
do you fight so recklessly?

...

My role is to cut my way into the
enemy ranks faster than anyone else.


Vyland

Sue

...

I, too, once cut my way into enemy
lines alone, in order to save others
and give them time to flee.

...Even if it meant losing my own life.

But the enemies I rushed into were
a decoy—the main force lay in
wait for my people as they fled.

In the end, I couldn’t save anyone.

Sue...

Fjorm

Sue

Father Sky and Mother Earth will not
aid you if you throw away your own
life in order to fight.

And...I have seen enough allies lose
their lives. There is no such thing as
an acceptable sacrifice...

I’m sorry for causing you to worry...

But it seems you misunderstand me.
I do not fight with the intent to die.

I do all that I can, and to the best of
my ability, so that everyone may live.


Vyland

Vyland: Coyote's Justice - A

Background image: 002_PlainForest

Vyland

The Coyote’s Men fight by striking
fast and withdrawing before the
enemy has a chance to respond.

But the best way to capitalize on this
strategy is to strike key targets while
the main forces are occupied.

By breaking the enemy’s formation,
we make it easier for our allies
elsewhere on the battlefield.

It is because of my allies, and the
trust I have in them, that I am able to
cut so deep into the enemy forces.

...

You can cut into the enemy forces
because you believe in your allies...
That is what you said, correct?


Sue

Vyland

Yes...

Those words comes from the heart.
The wind...informed me as such.


Sue

Vyland

Oh, you can hear the voice of the
wind as well? I see... As people of
the plains, we have this in common.

I understand, Vyland. You are able to
fight in such a daring manner because
you’ve been blessed with good allies.


Fjorm

Vyland

Indeed. My brothers in the Coyote’s
Men are strong—strong enough that
I can entrust my life to them.

Of course, I think the same is true of
the Order of Heroes.

...


Sue

Vyland: Coyote's Justice - S

Background image: 002_PlainForest

Sue

Vyland!

What’s wrong, Sue? I was just about
to head out. After all, someone needs
to break the enemy’s formation.


Vyland

Sue

I heard that you normally have your
allies in the Coyote’s Men to cover for
you when you mount your attacks.

Since they aren’t here, I will ride
with you in their place.

...


Vyland

Sue

I am a person of the plains as well.
I have full confidence in my ability to
ride my horse onto any battlefield.

Truthfully, I suspect that only a
member of the Kutolah could possibly
keep up with your horsemanship.

...

Then let us go together. Fight well,
plainswoman from another world.


Vyland

Hrah!


Vyland

Sue

Hah!

Is that Vyland and Sue fighting
over there? They look like they’ve
been working together for years.


Alfonse

Fjorm

That’s because they are both
people of the plains!

They control their horses as if they
were their own limbs, and can swiftly
strike with overwhelming power...

So this is what it means to be
one with your mount.


Alfonse

Fjorm

Isn’t it impressive? And when they
ride, I almost feel like I can see a
vast plain spread out behind them.

All right... The enemy’s formation has
broken! It’s time for us to repay
Vyland and Sue for their bravery!

Alfonse
Fjorm

Right! They risked their lives to give us
this chance, so we can’t let the trust
they placed in us go unanswered!

Even if the world itself changes,
what I do, and the way I will fight...
That will never change.

Because no matter the world, I will
always believe in my allies, and ride
forth, faster than any other!

Excuse me, but... Do you know where
I might find the orphanage?

Oh. And you are?


Ethlyn

Serra

Hm, I don’t think I’ve seen your face
before... Do you have some business
with the orphanage?

Um, er... I was recently summoned
to Askr, and, well... I thought...


Roshea

Lena

Oh, you’re from Aurelis!

Sister Lena... It’s been quite some
time! I’m glad to see you are well.


Roshea

Lena

Please relax everyone. He is a
true Hero.

Oooh... Sorry about that! We didn’t
realize you were also a Hero!


Lissa

Roshea

N-no, the fault is mine for showing
up without any warning.

But when I heard the Order of Heroes
was assisting an orphanage, I decided
to see it for myself and offer a hand.

Hey, everyone! I just got some fresh
vegetables from Merlinus.


Lugh

Chad

Wait, who’s this guy?

Lugh, Chad. This is Roshea, from the
Coyote’s Men. He was summoned to
Askr just recently.


Lena

Lugh

Hello, I’m Lugh! Chad and I have
been helping out at this orphanage.

Name’s Chad. So, what’s a big shot
knight like yourself doing here?


Chad

Roshea

I want to help children who have lost
their families in wars, so I donated
money to an orphanage back home.

My, that is a noble pursuit.


Ethlyn

Roshea

I would like to help the children in
Askr as well, so if there is anything
I can do, please...

We’ve got plenty of work that needs
doing, and never enough people. So
we’d be happy to have you!


Lugh

Chad

Yeah, another set of hands is always
welcome, even if it’s just from time to
time when you’re free.

Of course! If there’s anything I can do,
please just say it and I’ll do everything
in my power to help!


Roshea

Roshea: Coyote's Faithful - B

Background image: 005_Castle

Lugh

What are you reading, Roshea?
Is that a...letter?

Indeed. It was sent to me by some
children I took care of back in Aurelis.

I’m glad I didn’t lose it
when I was summoned...


Roshea

Chad

Huh. You were grinning so much,
I figured it was from a lover. But
this makes way more sense.

Chad, you shouldn’t make light
of people like that...


Lugh

Roshea

Those children probably used all
the letters they had just learned
to write this. To me, it’s a treasure.

We were orphans too, so I think I
understand how grateful they are
for the kindness you’ve shown them.


Lugh

Roshea

Huh? Wait, you and Chad?

Yeah. And Lugh’s twin, Raigh, is also
in Askr.

The three of us were raised by an
exceptionally good-natured caretaker
at an orphanage in Lycia.


Chad

Roshea

So, you’re the same as me then.
Everyone in the Coyote’s Men
lost their families to war.

We were children with no futures
ahead of us, but Lord Hardin saw our
plight and made knights of us.

He sounds like an incredible person.


Lugh

Roshea

Yes...but the memories I have of
those days still haunt me.

Sometimes I have dreams—memories
of nights in the cold, crying myself to
sleep as I slowly wasted away.

So, whenever I feel like I’ve reached
my limit, I read this letter.

Even if I can’t be like Lord Hardin,
I can still save those children from
ever experiencing something like that.

If nothing else, it’s pretty obvious to
me that you’re a good guy.

And...I can also tell that you see the
world the same way we do.


Chad

Roshea: Coyote's Faithful - A

Background image: 005_Castle

Roshea

...I appreciate your kind words, but
others have called me a hypocrite.
And to be honest, I see their point.

After all, for as much as I talk about
wanting to help children, I still go out
and kill on the battlefield.

...


Lugh

Roshea

Perhaps...all of my efforts were
nothing more than a way to flee
from my guilt.

What’s wrong with that?


Chad

Roshea

...Huh?

Hypocrisy or not... Thanks to you,
those children are taken care of, and
even learned how to read and write.

The only reason we’ve been able to
survive this long was because of
people like you—people who helped.


Chad

Roshea

...

When we were still in the orphanage,
a war broke out, and all the food and
clothing were seized as supplies.

We had nothing. So I started begging
behind our caretaker’s back, and
what I couldn’t get by begging, I stole.

If I hadn’t done that...we would have
all starved to death.

But you wanna know something?
Those people who criticized others
and called them hypocrites?

They didn’t do a damn thing to help.


Chad

Lugh

Chad...

Whatever may have been eating them
up inside, we’re alive today thanks to
the people who gave us bread to eat.


Chad

Lugh

Right. All it took back then was some
bread and warm clothes to wear to
make us smile.

Roshea, I’m sure your feelings have
gotten through to those children.

...Thank you. I hope you’re right.


Roshea

Roshea: Coyote's Faithful - S

Background image: 005_Castle

Lugh

It is a Hero’s duty to fight against the
enemies who threaten Askr’s peace...

But isn’t it also our duty to extend
a hand to those who suffer in the
aftermath of our battles?

Indeed, I feel the same way.

When I watch the clerics who care for
the orphanage, I can see the depths
of their determination.

They do battle on the battlefield, the
same as us, but their most important
duties are off of it.


Roshea

Chad

If you ask me, we should just hurry
up and put an end to wars so more
kids don’t have to end up like us.

That would be nice... And I suspect
Raigh feels the same way.

That’s probably why he spends so
much time on his arcane research.


Lugh

Chad

Oh, c’mon. Don’t you think you’re
giving him a little too much credit?
We both know he’d do that anyway.

Haha... I don’t like to battle, but if
it’s to protect children, I will give it
everything I have.

Lugh, Chad, will you fight
alongside me from now on?


Roshea

Lugh

Of course! I’m happy to have met a
kind person like you here in Askr.

...I still do not believe I will ever be a
hero as great as Lord Hardin, but...

There are children in this world who
have lost everything, and I want to
bring smiles to their faces.

That, I believe, is my way of repaying
my debt to Lord Hardin.

A future overflowing with the smiles of
children, not their tears... That is what
I will ride for.
