Chapter 4 - Evil Lurking in the Back Alleys

Leia: Don't be afraid... Come here.

Leia: Ah I'm not a suspicious person!

Jude: What are you doing Leia?

Leia: Jude?!

Elle: Are you playing with the cat?

Leia: No, I have to catch him for a reason.

Jude: Leia, didn't you become a reporter?*

Leia: I said I had a reason!

-L1: I'll try catching him. (Leia +)

-R1: I'll let Lulu handle this one.

L1 Route:

Ludger: I'll try catching him.

Ludger: Ow!

Leia: Gotcha Julius!

Elle: Julius?!

Leia: Yep, that's this little guy's name.

Leia: Julius Nyan Stanton, III.

Jude: Julius...

Leia: ...Nyan Stanton, III.

Leia: I've spent so long searching for him.

Jude: So the person here who was "searching for Julius" was just Leia...

Leia: You guys really helped me out, this is my company's sponsor's cat.

Jude: This is Ludger Will Kresnik.

Elle: I'm Elle. And this is Lulu.

Lulu: Meow.

Leia: Nice to meet you, I'm Leia Rolando.

Elle: Leia a person who catches cats?

Leia: No! I'm a reporter!

Leia: Being a reporter, always in pursuit of the truth, is a wonderful job to be proud of. That's why I became one.

Jude: Have you heard any new information about the terrorist attack on the train?

Leia: That incident is full of questions.

Leia: I heard Clanspia Company's elite agent, Julius Will Kresnik, was put on the wanted list.

Leia: Julius... Kresnik!

Leia: Are you caught up in trouble again?

Jude: But, Ludger...

Leia: I understand. I'm your friend after all.

Leia: Let's go!

Jude: Go where?

Leia: Duvohl.

Leia: I know a good informant there. I'll introduce you.

Elle: Leia sure is capable.

*Implying, you're a grown up with a real job, why are you wasting your time with this?

==========================

Ivar: Hm, if a life of restraint and shackles is disagreeable to you, then you should seek your freedom by going on a journey.

Ivar: I understand your feelings, but isn't the world a cruel place?*

Jude: Ivar?

Elle: He's talking to Julius III!

Leia: Ah! Catch that cat!

Ivar: Wha?

Elle: Awww...

Ivar: ...

Ivar: Did you see, Ludger? This is a new piece of equipment that makes even cats run away!

Ivar: You should take it and be grateful.

Ludger: ...

Ivar: ...You know how to use it, don't you?

(battle)

Ivar: You seem to have mastered the basics, so I'll say just one thing.

Ivar: Don't swing it wildly around within the city!

Ivar: For goodness sake, think of how you're inconveniencing others...

Leia: Ivar is working in Elenpios, right?

Jude: what about the cat?

Leia: Now's not the time for that, right?

Leia: Let's go to Duvohl.

*Ivar is saying something poetic and ridiculous here, but it's in pretty poetic language so I don't really understand it, did the best I could sorry ^_^;

==========================

Informant: Leia, you're late!

Leia: I'm sorry!

Jude: The informant... is this person?

Leia: Yep, the female informant, Jou!*

Jou: Nice to meet you, my name is Jou!

Leia: Jou, to get to the point...

Jou: You want info about the train accident, right? I'm not saying there isn't any but...

Leia: You'll only tell us if we pay with either money or information, right?

Jude: Ludger.

Jou: So that really happened on the train huh?

Elle: It's true, Elle saw it too.

Jou: I know. I'll tell you what you want to know.

Jou: Recently, it seems Blart has been using Ark Noah to search for something.

Elle: Blart?

Leia: This town's citizen's self-governing organization... right?

Jou: That's their official appearance, yes.

Jude: What do they actually do?

Jou: If I told you, I'd be killed.

Leia: They deal illegally in... weapons?

Jou: No, fossils of spirits and boosters.

Jude: The raw materials for "origin"!

Jou: Yes. "Origin", they say it's a new replacement system for "gin"...

Jou: ...Leia... this person is!

Leia: Yep, this is Jude Mathis, an "origin" researcher.

Jou: Well then, as a mark of friendship towards my new acquaintances I'll do one more thing for you. 

Elle: Jude, you're really famous!

Jou: In the back alleys of Duvohl, I've heard someone called "the evil spirit" sometimes comes out.

Jou: He looks like an ordinary human, but he is actually hiding monster-like powers. They say he comes out to hunt humans every night.

Elle: He sounds just like the old man with the glasses...**

Jou: Blart bodyguards have been taken down, one by one.

Jou: I thought it was just an urban legend, but it may have something to with the incident on the train.

Ludger: ...

*Triple play-on-words here. Informant in Japanese is "jouhouya," one of the words for female is "jou", and the informant's name is "Jou". Ha.

**She means Julius.

==========================

Leia: The place where the "evil spirit" comes out, I wonder if it's around here?

Elle: If it doesn't come out, that'd be better though.

Leia: You're scared.

Elle: I am not!

Elle: Because I have to go to the Land of Canaan.

Leia: But I'm also concerned about this "evil spirit".

Jude: Why is Ark Noah collecting the raw materials for "origin"?

Man: Hey young man, did you say "origin"?

Man: If you're interested, I can gather the materials for you.

Jude: You also have spirit fossils?

Man: Yep, low-class spirits though.

Jude: Have you heard of an organization that has been collecting spirit fossils recently?

Man: Yeah, you mean Ark Noah.

Jude: !

Man 2: Don't move, Dr. Mathis.

Man 2: Your personal safety depends on them.

Leia: Right in the middle of the city!

???: It's no problem.

Ludger: !

Leia: These people!

Jude: Blart!

-L1: Why capture Jude...?

-R1: [Save Jude] (Jude +)

R1 Route:

Ludger: ...

Man 2: Gwa!

Elle: Kyaaa!

==========================

Man: What's wrong, your face looks pale...

Jude: I understand that you people and Ark Noah hate me, but...

Jude: But please have faith in "origin"! Just a little more research and it will have many practical uses!

Man: Damn that Jou! She talked, didn't she?

Man 2: Don't hold back! They are Liese Maxians after all!

Jude: ...damn.

???: Then I guess I won't hold back either.

Man: Ahh!

Jude: Spirit artes!

???: You were in quite a spot, weren't you?

Jude: Rowen!

Elle: Who?

Jude: A good friend who traveled on a journey with me.

Leia: He knows all kinds of things, and is a very dependable person.

Elle: Like where the Land of Canaan is located?

Rowen?: The Land of Canaan...?

Elle: Yes! It's a mysterious place that makes all your wishes come true!

Rowen?: That's...

Man: If a place like that really exists, I have something I'd wish for.

Man: I'd wish for all the Liese Maxians to be killed!

Man: Do you really think you monsters who can do such magic tricks unarmed are humans like us?

Rowen?: I feel the same.

Man: Gyaaah!!

Jude: Rowen, what are you doing?

Rowen?: It's become known.

Rowen?: Elise-san, Gaius-san, Mistress Drossel... I will get revenge for everyone and destroy their enemies.

Rowen?: They must repent for the crime of destroying the Shell.

Leia: We were wrong. This person is...

Jude: !

Rowen?: I'll have to finish those two off too.

Jude: This person is not Rowen!

Rowen?: No matter what, I must kill all the people of Elenpios.

(boss battle)

Ludger: !?

Man: There's no way people can just disappear like that!

Man: Search for them! They must be hiding somewhere.

Man: How did you do that just now!?

Man 2: Did they use spirit artes?

Man 3: Liese Maxians must be monsters after all!

???: Stop right there.

Man: Who are you people?

Man: !

Gaius: Tell me just one thing.

Gaius: Why is Ark Noah collecting the raw materials for "origin"?

Man: ...They're using the instability of "origin" for terrorism.

Man: Not only is it powerful, but if they can show off how dangerous it is...

Jude: !

Gaius: I see. As a strategy, it's not bad.

Man: You're not going to kill us...?

Gaius: Well, I'm not a monster.

Gaius: I guess things won't change overnight.

Rowen: This town's hatred of Liese Maxians is especially strong.

Elle: If you wish for it in the Land of Canaan, things might get better.

Rowen: The Land of Canaan?

Elle: It's a mysterious place that makes all your wishes come true...

Rowen: Hohoho, that sounds like something out of a dream.

Rowen: But, a power that can take away the freedom of the human heart is a fearsome power indeed.

Gaius: Humans would no longer be humans after all.

Jude: Don't worry. He's the real one.

Leia: Thank you Rowen, Gaius.

Gaius: It's Arst.

Leia: Eh?

Gaius: Right now I am pretending to be just an ordinary citizen. Therefore, I ask that you call me Arst instead.

Rowen: To learn the what the people of Elenpios are really saying, he is working undercover here.

Jude: Is that really alright? You're Liese Maxia's king after all.

Elle: A king!?

Elle: This is the first time Elle has seen a real king!

-L1: Thank you, Arst. (Gaius +)

-R1: You saved us, Your Majesty.

L1 Route:

Gaius: That's enough.

Rowen: He was surprisingly worried, almost like a child.

Gaius: Did you say something?

Rowen: No, no, nothing at all.

Leia: Did you think perhap Gai... I mean Arst is the "evil spirit" in the back alleys we heard about?

Elle: But, the scary version of this guy was just like the guy with glasses.*

Rowen: The scary me?

Jude: Um, well...

Gaius: I see. So mysterious incidents keeps occuring around you.

Gaius: Do that particulary interest you, Rowen?

Rowen: Yes it rather does.

Gaius: You have information about it?

Rowen: Just a hunch.

Gaius: I see, I'll leave the investigation to you then.

Rowen: Understood.

Rowen: By the way, will you do me the honor of letting me travel with you?

-L1: I don't mind. (Rowen +)

-R1: Hmm, I don't know if I want to be friends with an old man...

L1 Route:

Rowen: My name is Rowen J. Ilbert. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Gaius: Jude.

Jude: I know.

Jude: If I have time to feel discouraged, I should instead be working that much harder in researching "origin".

Ludger: ...

Jude: Let's go see Baran-san.

Jude: He is someone who works with me on "origin" research at Helioborg.

*She means the evil Rowen we just fought was just like the evil Julius.

==========================

ノヴァからのコール３ [main]
Call from Nova 3

Nova: Hey, since you've been paying your debt back so diligently, you can now freely go to the Helioborg Research Facility.

Nova: Someone like you who pays their debt back so promptly is really quite rare. In fact, it's becoming the gossip of my workplace.

Elle: Ludger, she's praising you.

Ludger: Haha...

Nova: Yep yep! Just as expected of Julius-san's younger brother.

Ludger: ...

==========================

Nova: Ludger! Good timing! I wanted to give this to you so I've been searching for you.

Nova: Here you go. If you use it correctly, it's quite useful.

Elle: What is it?

Nova: My family bought it through mail order, but then never used it. I found it buried in a room.

Nova: If they never use it, then they don't need it, I thought.

Elle: It's probably something unnecessary.

Nova: Ahaha... Well anyway, it will be useful to you Ludger! For sure!
