Aftermath

Kurt: We have broken through the defenses of the main camp!

Riela: Just a bit more!

21: Could it be.. It's really ending? The war is over..!

Alfons: We'll be revered as the saviors of Gallia tomorrow. My dear, women will be falling for me all over..

Leila: It's too early in the night to be dreaming! Wake up!

3: Times like these you got to work harder to finish it!

Kurt: I know that, everyone..

Riela: Hold on! The enemy commander is stepping forward!!

Selvaria: Foolish ones who have dared spread filth in His Highness' grounds..

Selvaria: I'll have you dead!

Imca: ...!!

Kurt: What is that?!

Imca: That, that is..! It's the blue flame!!

Imca: ..!!!!!!!

Kurt: Imca?! What's wrong, Imca?!

Imca: It's the devil's flame.. It's the work of the devil!!

Riela: What is it? What is that?!

Selvaria: Disappear from this world!

Kurt: This is bad!!

Kurt: Get down!

Kurt: Ugh..! Squad retreat! Break up and move back into the forest!

Kurt: Riela, let's go!

Riela: Y-, Yes..!

Imca: .. ...!

Kurt: Imca! What are you doing! Let's move!

Selvaria: ..

Forster: Impressive, you're as complete a Valkyrur as one can expect.

Selvaria: Hmph.

Forster: By the way, one of them caught my attention.

Selvaria: I am not interested.

Forster: I'm leaving this place for a while.

Selvaria: ..Do what you want.

Kurt: We should be safe here this far. Imca, you can catch a breath here.

Imca: ..That was a demon. The fire burns.. It burns everything..!

Kurt: It's safe here, calm down.

Imca: .....!

Kurt: They've not given chase, we're safe now.

Imca: ...

Kurt: Are you feeling better?

Imca: ..Sorry.

Kurt: No, don't worry about that. It's more surprising that you were to fall into panic.

Imca: ..I have seen that before.

Imca: That blue flame.. Long silver hair. Lance and shield, and those red eyes. I will never forget them.

Imca: That was the reason my village went into flames in an instant.

Kurt: Your.. village?

Imca: I must seek my revenge on that thing.

Imca: I must, have my revenge!

Kurt: Imca...

Kurt: That was a Valkyrur... I would never have thought I'd witness one myself.

Kurt: Must we really go up against that sort of power...

Riela: Did everyone get away okay...?

Riela: Could it be.. That I'm alone in this world again..

Riela: No! That can't be true!

Riela: Everyone must have made it!

Forster: I finally found you.

Riela: Who?!

Forster: It does not matter who I am.

Riela: She's not a soldier of the empire...?

Forster: That is right. I have not come to do any harm to you.

Forster: I am merely a researcher, and I am interested in you.

Riela: A scientist?

Forster: Do you not want to know the truth about what you are?

Riela: ..

Forster: If you do intend to find out, hold these in your hands.

Riela: These are?

Forster: Stroke your hands on them. You will understand.

Riela: ...

Riela: ..!?

Forster: As I thought.. You are.. A Valkyrur.

Riela: ....!

Riela: ..! What's happening.. My body, it's burning!

Riela: ...!!

Forster: Strange.. She has awakened, yet her form is completely unstable.. What could be causing it..?

Riela: ...!!

Forster: An incomplete awakening..? I see, you've awoken the Valkyrur inside of you several times before haven't you?

Forster: Your weak awakenings have caused your body to reject it.. You are a defect.

Riela: .....!

Riela: ...

Forster: Is that the longest you can maintain it, worthless.

Riela: ..

Forster: I've gained some interesting data. I'm done with you now.

Forster: ..or not, perhaps I could use you in some other way.

Forster: I've personally not seen what happens when two Valkyrur go up against each other.

Forster: That lance and shield, I give them to you. Use them someday when you face Selvaria again.

Forster: Do that, give me the data I need. That is your purpose.

Forster: You're one of my test subjects from now on. I'm watching you.

Riela: ...

Riela: No.. What do I do.. What if Kurt finds out...!

Riela: I don't want this fearsome power...!

Riela: I don't want it..!!
