"The Etoile meets the prevention to the Queen's awakening."
And that's...
the Spirit of the Sacrea.
W-What's that!?
It seems the alteration to the Seijuu Universe was all your doing.
It's not him!?
"The Spirit of the Sacrea becomes a huge wall and obstructs mankind!"
Two Loves
Are you all right, Etoile?
He... saved me.
He's not an enemy.
It's looking for the Etoile.
This is... the Spirit of the Sacrea...
What a terrifying appearance!
I'm sure it was this Planet Sherusera Missy went to...
Ange!
Wait, Zephel!
It's useless to stop me!
If I don't go, who else can save her!?
Oscar.
I'll go as well.
Ange... I'll save you!
That's enough.
But... because of me...
This is nothing to stop me from protecting you.
You probably didn't break any bones.
The bleeding should stop soon.
Impressive skills.
I've helped a veterinarian in my hometown's farm before.
I can't do anything but first-aid, though.
There's no need to feel responsible for my injury if you do.
It's my duty to protect the Legendary Etoile.
Duty? Who gave you that duty?
The Queen of Seijuu!?
It's her, right?
I've searched for the prevention to the Queen's awakening quite some time ago, but...
For it to be the Spirit of the Sacrea...
The Spirit of the Sacrea...
I don't know its aim yet.
I heard about you from the Queen.
You're more stubborn than I imagined.
U-Unbelievable! I mistook you for an enemy...
That's why I said awful things like "I won't forgive you."
Don't take it too seriously.
I'm not...!
Can I ask for your name?
What'll you do once you hear it?
But...
It's Arios.
Arios...
Relax. I'll bring you back to the Holy Land in one piece.
Before that...
Let me...
rest.
He saved me.
Risking his life...
Ange!
Ange, where are you!?
How terrible...
So that's it!?
It seems to be.
I'm sure Ange's near that thing!
It appears to burn brightly inside you.
Strong and hot feelings sleep within you.
But you will surely fall in love again.
It was just like Mel-san said.
Don't go--
from... my side.
Ellis.
The Queen of Seijuu!
Ange, please remember this.
Arios is my most trusted helper.
He will aid and support you, Etoile.
The Spirit of the Sacrea will block the path of this universe.
We must combine our powers
and protect a lot of lives.
Um... Please tell me...
Who is Ellis?
She was Arios' lover.
Arios once went to a distant universe.
At that time, the Emperor of the land
snatched away his beloved Ellis.
She, who was forced to become the Emperor's own,
took her own life.
When he lost Ellis, his soul shattered into pieces.
And yet-
Ellis continues to live inside him.
Forever more...
There's a person he never stops thinking of.
No matter how much I feel for him, my feelings can never reach him.
But why is it so hot?
Arios!
I love you.
I'll protect you as the Legendary Etoile.
But I have no feelings beyond that.
You should be thinking of your mission right now.
It's that thing!
Ange!
You bastard!
You're...
Arios!
Yo! Have I seen you somewhere before?
It was- Arios...?
The one Ange feels for?
Arios!
I'm here!
Go!
Guard the Etoile's life!
You need not say it.
It's my duty.
Over here!
I, Oscar-sama, shall be your opponent!
Go!
T-This thing's...
a monster!
You!
What did you come here for!?
What do you intend to do!?
Humanity in this universe...
possesses too much greed.
They repeatedly argue with each other...
They repeatedly fight wars...
They will be destroyed.
The world...
and humanity...
will be destroyed.
What did you say!?
See you, Etoile.
Julious-sama.
Ange just returned from the Seijuu Universe.
Where's Ange!?
She's resting right now.
She was injured and we've just finished treating her.
It's not something to worry about, but...
It's just that there's something strange about her.
She won't tell me anything about it.
You should...
be thinking of...
your mission right now.
I... can't think of anything else but you!
Arios!
Have you ever fallen in love with someone, Zephel-sama?
Damn it! Damn it!
Why didn't I save her!?
Why did he save Ange and not me!?
Zephel.
Zephel, Julious-sama is calling you.
I hear you.
I received a report from the Royal Research Institute that there's an irregularity in your Steel Sacrea.
It's an unfortunate circumstance we can't ignore.
And from my point of view, you appear to lack concentration these days.
Haven't you been attracted to Ange and swayed by your personal emotions?
There's an ominous incident happening in the Seijuu Universe.
And as the cause for it...
Zephel, there are some researchers who suspect you of it.
I haven't changed from the usual!
If there are people talking about it behind my back, bring them here!
Or Julious, if you have any complaints,
how about I show you my Steel Sacrea right now!?
I-I was... up all night repairing my metal eagle...
It's because of that!
Zephel!
Don't tell me... Zephel's power has run out!?
Then in that case...
Zephel's duty will end before long.
And he'll give up his title as a guardian--
and leave the Holy Land.
It's not your fault, Zephel-sama.
It's my fault.
I'm the one who's not concentrating.
I haven't been paying attention to my mission
and only kept thinking of other things.
You mean, about him?
Yes.
What's wrong with you, Ange!?
You just saw your former love in Arios!
You're just running after an illusion!
Those feelings aren't real!
N-No way!
Look at me!
I can't control it anymore!
I can't stop it!
I love you... Ange.
I love you.
Look only at me.
Please don't...
say such things.
I'm begging you...
Haven't you been attracted to Ange and swayed by your personal emotions?
Zephel's duty will end before long.
And he'll give up his title as a guardian-
and leave the Holy Land.
I'm sorry, Zephel-sama!
I'll protect you as the Legendary Etoile.
But I have no feelings beyond that.
What should I do...?
What should I do?
I don't know.
I can't see... anything anymore.
The Spirit of the Sacrea detests how haughty mankind has become in the Seijuu Universe.
They foment wars because of their greed.
They continue to trample down life.
It plans to destroy mankind.
How can we fight against it?
We still haven't gathered much information about the Spirit of Sacrea.
There's Ange!
It was written on the tablet, right?
That the Legendary Etoile will save the universe from crisis!
I'm sure Ange can find a way!
Because Ange had enough power to save the Spring of Life!
There's a problem!
Ange...
What happened to Ange!?
She's missing.
She's gone outside the Holy Land.
I'm sorry...
I can no longer...
stay here.
I can't see anything anymore.
Nothing...
Ange,
we need the Legendary Etoile's power now.
But where on earth are you right now?
Next
During the Wandering
And you'll become a legend.
