He... stabbed him.
Stay away!
...killed him... I... killed him...
If you're so afraid of killing others, just throw your sword away, you failure!
Tear!
Idiot.
Tear!
Tear, how are you feeling?
I...
Have you come around, Tear?
How is your wound?
It's a pity we don't have a Seventh Fonist here to use healing artes...
I'm thankful for your concern, Colonel, but I can heal myself.
It's healed! That's great!
Ah, um...
Are you all right?
I knew you were a civilian, but it seems I didn't fully comprehend what that means.
I'm so sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
You're the one who got hurt.
As long as I'm a soldier, protecting civilians is my duty.
If I get hurt while doing it, it just means I wasn't strong enough. That's all.
My, you two are getting along so well. I'm so jealous.
We're not–
It's not like that!
See? A perfect match.
Colonel!
Tear and Master are both so red!
Shut up!
Now, now, since Tear's all better, shouldn't we get ready to leave?
Did you hear from Anise?
Yes, there was a message left for us.
Dear Colonel Jade,
I had a really scary time, but...
I managed to reach the second location.
I'm taking good care of that precious item.
Praise me, praise me~!
Is my beloved (aw, so embarrassing, I just confessed!) Mister Luke okay?
I'm SO worried!
I want to meet him soon~!
By the way, take good care of Master Ion too.
From Anise.
Hey, hey, "Mister" Luke, aren't you popular?
Shut up.
So, what's this second location?
Kaitzur naval port, at the border line.
So that means we'll have to cross the Fubras River...
Oh, Guy, you seem to know Malkuth's geography well, for a Kimlascan.
Reading about vacation spots is my hobby.
If we go to Kaitzur, we'll be able to join Van.
Join Master?
My brother?
tue lei zwe kuloa riou tue zwe
Tenraisou!
Thank you!
You're welcome.
You're finally fighting with all your strength.
I said I'd fight, didn't I?
If it's against monsters, I can still...
But why are there so many monsters here anyway? It's annoying.
Master, please do your best!
I don't want to hear anything from someone who can't do anything!
I, too, couldn't be of help. I'm sorry.
Colonel, does the fon slot seal hinder you a lot?
It really limits my fonic artes.
So that thing earlier...
That was because the basic ability was different.
However, it will take some time until complete recovery.
Until then, please protect us with all your strength.
You're really...
By the way, did that Anise girl go through this place all by herself?
Is she all right?
Don't worry about her. It's Anise we're talking about.
Yes, it's Anise, after all.
R–Really...
Just who exactly is this Anise?
But I lost both my identification and my passport!
Please, let me pass!
I'm sorry, but I can't let you.
You'd better watch your back.
Anise, Luke can hear you.
Oh, my prince!
Mister Luke, I'm so happy you're safe!
Women are scary...
Anise, the letter is safe too, isn't it?
Ah, Colonel. Of course!
I have it here.
Thank you, Anise. It was hard, wasn't it?
I'm glad you're safe too, Master Ion.
By the way, how will we pass the checkpoint?
Neither Luke nor I have a passport.
It seems we won't have to worry about that.
Someone has come to get us.
Master Van!
Van!
Hey!
Tear, put your weapon away.
This is a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
Tear, I'd rather you didn't cause a commotion here.
Who are they?
Are they causing trouble?
Mohs is wishing for a war, and I couldn't overlook this fact.
I see. So this is why you disappeared from the cathedral in Daath?
I'm sorry, Van.
My arbitrary decision must have caused you trouble.
No, don't worry about me.
I'm more concerned about the God-Generals' actions–
You're the one who sent them, weren't you?
Why are you getting in the way of Fon Master Ion's peace attempts?
Hey, don't treat Master like that!
It's all right, Luke.
It can't be helped is she sees things that way.
The God-Generals may be my subordinates, but they're part of the Grand Maestro faction.
They're likely to be moving under Grand Maestro Mohs' orders.
That can't be.
Grand Maestro Mohs really wishes for peace!
That's why he left the search up to me–
What proof do you have that you're not Mohs' spy?
I...
The thing the Grand Maestro is having you search for...
Is it the Seventh Fonstone?
The Seventh Fonstone? What's that?
A sheltered life, indeed, huh?
What's with that face? Are you making fun of me?
It's the Score the founder Yulia read two thousand years ago.
The world's future is written on it.
This was a very long Score, so its fonstone was as huge as a mountain.
It was destroyed a long time ago,
and some of it became the fon belt you can see in the sky, while the rest fell down on the earth.
Malkuth and Kimlasca are both fighting over the ones that fell down,
and that even led to a war.
As long as you have the fonstone, you can learn the world's future.
The Seventh Fonstone is also said to have been hidden by Yulia after she read it.
Because of that, various influential people are searching for it.
And Tear is searching for that thing?
Who knows...
Anyway, I don't have anything to do with Grand Maestro Mohs.
Of course! Master only came to pick me up.
Oh? This is indeed very interesting.
But why would you want to know that, Asch?
It's none of your business.
So, will you do it, or not?
Why not?
I'll do it, for the sake of my research.
However, I don't want to have to dispose of the bodies.
But... the orders were...
It's a good occasion for you to get your revenge, isn't it?
Is it your country over there, Master?
I'm finally going home!
Yes, but we won't reach Baticul until we take a ferry from the naval port.
Is it still so far away?
It's the first time I'll see the sea and a ship. I'm so happy!
You're loud, just be quiet for a while–
That's...
They beat us to it.
Hey, hang in there! Who the hell...
M–Monsters attacked us...
Monsters?
She was on the Tartarus...
Gloomietta! Why are you doing this?!
I am not gloomy! Anise, you're so mean!!
Arietta, who told you to do this?
Commandant, I'm sorry!
Asch asked me to do it.
I'm taking the engineer who can repair the ship with me.
If you want him back, Luke and Fon Master Ion must come to Choral Castle.
What do you mean, we won't help?
I can't endanger Fon Master Ion or Luke.
But, but!
The only one who can repair the ship is that engineer who's been taken away!
A training ship is going to return to port soon.
You can use that to go back home.
But that would mean ignoring Arietta's demands.
Isn't preventing the war your priority?
I will take care of Arietta.
I'd like you to wait here for the ship to come.
What will happen to the kidnapped man?
You won't go help him?
Quiet, you!
Master Van said he'll take care of it, so we can just leave it to him.
Fon Master Ion!
We beg you!
Please use your power and save our chief!
He was relieved when his birth Score for this year said that a big disaster would be avoided.
Please, do something.
I understand.
Are you sure about this?
I'll talk with Arietta and try to convince her to release the hostage.
I'll go with you.
That's surprising, coming from such a cold-hearted woman.
Letting someone whose Score read that a disaster would be avoided die would be the same as disregarding the Score.
It would go against Yulia's teachings.
Besides...
Besides?
Nothing...
If Master Ion's going, then of course I'm going too!
I'm going too.
Guy!
I'm curious about the destination, Choral Castle.
What do you mean?
It's the place where we found you when you were kidnapped, seven years ago.
This place looks so creepy...
Choral Castle was Duke Fabre's vacation home.
During the previous war, the frontlines of battle came too close, so he abandoned it.
You didn't have to come too, you know.
Why not? I might be able to remember something after seeing it for myself.
Mister Luke, I feel so sorry for you!
I'll help you find your memories!
Quiet! We don't know where the enemy is.
Yeah, yeah.
The enemies are the Six God-Generals, right?
Do you think they're all here?
And what kind of people are they?
The ones we met on the Tartarus were...
Legretta the Quick,
Arietta the Wild,
and Largo the Black Lion.
Then there's Sync the Tempest, and Dist the Reaper.
What about the one who attacked us on the bridge?
I wasn't able to see his face.
That would be...
Asch the Bloody.
Well? Remember anything?
Ah, no, nothing at all.
Mister Luke~!
Stop!
W–What?
Guy!
I...
That was more violent than usual.
What's wrong?
Sorry. My body just reacted on its own.
Did something happen?
It don't think it's just a simple dislike of women.
I don't know.
It wasn't like this when I was a child.
But there's a moment missing from my memory, so... that might be the cause.
You have amnesia too?
It's different... I think.
It's only an instant that's missing.
How do you know it's only an instant?
I just do.
It's the moment my family died, after all.
Guy...
Luke!!
Master!!
Let me go!
I can't let you pass.
Gloomietta!!
What the...?
She seems to be a puppeteer.
What kind of fon machine is that?
Give us back Mister Luke and the hostage!
Ouch! You're horrible, Arietta!
You're the one who's horrible, Anise!
You took my Fon Master Ion away from me!!
Arietta, that's not it!
That's not the reason you were demoted from being a Fon Master Guardian.
And those people are horrible too.
They killed my Mommy!
Mommy went to live in the Cheagle Woods after her home was burned down.
Mommy only wanted to protect her children... my brothers and sisters!
Can she be... talking about the liger queen?
She lost her parents during the Hod War, and was then raised by monsters.
Mommy's revenge!!
Oh dear. I'm used to people resenting me, but...
We, too, can't lose this battle.
I see.
To think that even the fonon frequency is the same...
This one is perfect.
I don't care about that.
We have to erase the data before they come here.
If this data is that important to you,
you could've just stopped Asch.
That fool decided to do it all by himself.
Oh, it seems that this idiot here is waking up.
Guy, go on ahead!
Yeah!
No!!
Gloomietta, out of the way!
Please wait, Jade!
I thought you'd say that.
I've opened all of his synchronized fon slots.
I'll be leaving now.
I want to analyze this data as soon as I can.
What the hell... did you...
I don't have to answer you.
You're...!
Damn! I'm forbidden to come into contact with him!
Wait!
What was that...?
Luke!
Master!
Mister Luke, I was so worried!
Luke, are you all right?
Yeah, I think so...
What did they want from me?
This is...!
It's rare to see you so upset like this.
Do you know what this thing is?
No, without confirmation, I can't...
No... Even if I could confirm it...
By the way, this is a fon disc those guys left behind.
It could be some kind of clue.
I see. Let's get it analyzed, then.
That was quite reckless of you, Fon Master Ion.
You as well, Luke.
Do you know how much you made me worry?
I'm sorry, Van.
Sorry, Master...
Shall we go home, then, Luke?
Yes!
