The Altar of Abyss?
That's probably what Felia saw.
Really?
Yeah.
I saw a red castle and a shining ring...
back then!
A red castle...
A red castle, huh?
Let's go to this Altar of Abyss!
Moura, do you know where it is?
But of course.
Sogo!
Are you serious?
That place could tell us more about Felia...
How am I supposed to sit around and do nothing?
Let me accompany you.
No, Kaon!
I cannot approve of this!
Yeah!
Then you two can twiddle your thumbs here.
Anyway, no means no!
We cannot worry your parents any—
Are you listening to me?
Roman... Otto...
I'm really sorry!
#06 Flower Boy
So if we go to this Altar of Abyss,
Felia will stop growing?
She started growing because her powers began gushing out.
They gushed out!
The spring at the Altar of Abyss
has a fountainhead of highly concentrated Giftdium, which can replenish her powers.
You can't find that anywhere else!
A fountainhead of Giftdium?
Actually, Moura,
weren't you supposed to keep her powers in check?
Sogo, Kaon...
Thanks for coming with me.
No problem.
I can't seem to leave you alone, either.
Yeah.
I'm hungry!
I'm not surprised, considering how much you grew.
Grew...
Why are you getting mesmerized?
I wasn't!
Lies. You were looking at her, like a beast eying its prey.
D-Don't be ridiculous!
We should reach a village shortly.
Why don't we grab a bite there?
Look.
It's a marriage ceremony.
Marriage?
Er...
A ritual that unites two people in love, I guess?
In love?
Love...
Love?
You're so nice, Do Mon.
This is our order, so carrying it is the least I can do.
That isn't all.
You've raised Sogo for all these years.
I actually thought he was your own son!
No woman would want to marry a guy like me.
Th-That isn't true!
Keep back!
Roman! Otto!
Who did this to you?
Sogo and the others!
They said they were going to the Altar of Abyss and rode off on our Air Rider!
The Altar of Abyss?
This is I.
Prepare the ValovR7 at once.
I shall explain to Father later!
We've received intel from Honeybee.
I'll have one of our units head over at once.
Target has left Garden Indigo,
and is on its way to the Bolvia area.
As you can see, it's pretty much a direct path.
Their first break will likely be
at Garden Mauve.
So pretty!
That reminds me...
Didn't you also wear a wedding dress, Kaon?
What are you saying? Don't be stupid!
Kaon, you're married?
No, I'm not...
She ran away during the fitting.
That was because
my prince never came to save me...
Prince?
Make way!
A-Are you okay?
Can you stand?
Did you twist your leg?
Are you okay?
I think I sprained it...
You can't walk?
But what about the ceremony?
We don't have a replacement for the flower boy.
An adult doing it would break with tradition.
What do we do, Elene?
I'm sorry... Asking you to do this while you're on a trip.
Don't be. It was our fault to begin with.
We're really sorry.
I've never been a flower boy before...
Good luck, Sogo.
This is for you, then.
Who, me?
If the flower boy and girl are already close, it's considered more auspicious.
Many couples have gone on to get married themselves.
Couples?
You're in. Right, Kaon?
Wait, why are you so laid back?
Then you're out?
I mean, you and I are...
Friends, right?
It's a huge responsibility.
And the outfit's so frilly and girly.
Then will you do it, Felia?
That's a great idea.
I'll do it!
Okay, that's that. Let's do our best.
Yeah!
Um...
Then come this way, please. Let's get the outfit fitted.
I'm sure it'll look great.
No!
I-I mean... It's a wedding, you know?
What if you mess up?
Don't worry. All that's left is to hold the offerings and walk.
But...
Should I not?
It's not like that.
I'll teach you what to do!
Please think of it as doing us a favor.
No objections, right, Kaon?
No...
Why did I lash out that way?
How long until we reach Garden Mauve?
About two hours.
I'm not about to let a greenhorn hog all the glory!
I'll seal the deal before Gus shows up.
The backup hover got air-bombed on its way here.
We're the only ones left alive...
What do we do?
You're a madman.
They made their move, Gus!
We got a report from Honeybee.
They're near Garden Mauve.
Dudley's unit went off in pursuit.
We're heading out.
Figures.
You can't let anyone else take out that fascinating Bipedal Armor, right?
That and I've gotten a tad curious as to why Zoneboyle's after those kids.
Wow, this is pretty different from weddings in the city...
Control yourself.
I can't. It's too delicious.
Kaon?
Not eating? The food's really great.
Yeah, thanks.
Think Felia's eaten yet?
No way. She's still changing.
But she was already starving.
Take that food to her, then.
Felia's a much better match than an Amazon like me, right?
What are you talking about? This isn't like you.
I guess so.
Kaon?
Hey, Kaon!
Even I can tell I'm not being myself.
Still...
I don't know why, but I can't help feeling this way!
You look great, Felia.
Yeah, you're like a princess!
A princess?
Pretty, like a princess.
Um...
What is love?
When you feel as though someone's joy is your own,
and so is their sorrow,
that means you love them.
Who are they?
Felia!
Nobody move a muscle!
We're only looking for someone.
So long as you don't interfere, we won't harm the people of this Garden!
The Administrative Bureau's Bipedal Armors?
You, the girl with the blue hair!
You're coming with us!
What's the meaning of this?
What has Felia done?
That's classified.
What—
Kaon!
Run for it!
Catch!
Target is escaping through the church's rear exit!
Tulpa Two, move out to the west.
Don't let them escape!
Moura!
Is that the mysterious Bipedal Armor from the reports?
I'm not letting you take Felia!
Thanks, now I can kill two birds with one stone!
Eat this!
How did they know we were here?
Where'd they go?
Felia, let's swap clothes.
I'll keep them occupied, so take that chance to flee the village.
Kaon...
I'll be fine.
Even if I get caught, I'm not the one they're after.
Kaon, I love you!
Elene told me that when you feel as though someone's joy is your own,
and so is their sorrow,
that means you love them.
Felia...
I'm so sorry, Felia!
Kaon? Are you sad?
Was I wrong?
No, I love you, too...
A lot.
Yeah. Same here, Kaon.
Found you!
Blue-haired girl, secured!
Looks like we didn't need Gus to help us.
Felia!
You're dealing with me!
Kaon!
Get your hands off my friend!
Whoa, there.
I've been ordered not to hurt any civilians, but...
Kaon!
What?
Is that...
Sorry to keep you waiting!
What the heck?
I am Roman Valov.
In the name of the Valov family,
I have come to save the bride!
You're so awesome, Roman!
Quit posing and save Felia already!
Leave it to me!
You moron! What if you hit Felia?
Oh, yeah.
From the right?
Or above?
Take this!
Valov Rolling Storm!
Wait, wait—
Felia!
Valov Ultra Super Mount—
Ow...
You're good.
You must be their ace pilot!
What?
Secure the target!
Follow me!
Formation Pantera!
Two units coming at once!
Moura!
Take this!
Now!
What?
Yes!
What the hell? The reports said it's specialized for CQC!
Don't interrupt my wedding!
Yeah! Get out!
Didn't your mother teach you any manners?
Curse you!
Get out of here!
Fall back!
All hands, retreat!
Are you all right, Kaon?
Good.
Would you look at that? It's a prince and his princess.
Yeah.
The guys that ran ahead had the tables turned on them.
I can't say I'm too fond of spies,
but work is work.
Isn't that right,
Agent Honeybee?
In the midst of the journey, the long arm of evil closes in.
What lies hidden in human hearts, in their feelings?
