Chapter 6 - The Clanspia Company

Woman: What do you want?

Man: Urgh…
Jude: Please let me have a look at him. I'm a doctor.
Vel: I've confirmed your arrival at Ilart Port.*
Vel: Retrieve the data from the investigation agents and return to the Clanspia Company.
Woman: I'm sorry, this is the data.
Elise: But, these people…
Vel: Retrieving the data is the highest priority right now. Return to headquarters immediately.
Leia: It's really that important?
Man: It's a copy of the data that ex-Division Manager Julius collected and analyzed in regards to the alternate timelines…
Ludger: ?
Jude: Alternate timelines…?
Rowen: You met Julius-san, didn't you?
Woman: Yes, there were ten of us, but we didn't even stand a chance.
Man: But, we were able to secure that data at least…
Man: Please hurry to headquarters! With this it should be possible to more accurately detect the way to get there.**
Tipo: Everyone else go on ahead!
Elise: I'll stay behind to heal these people.
Alvin: Well then, shall I help out too?
Elise: Rowen will be my escort.
Rowen: If that is your wish.
Alvin: Aww, rejected~

*She's tracking his location via some sort of GPS device on his phone I'm assuming.
**He literally says "signposts" like a street sign. In this case meaning the "path" that will take them to an  alternate timeline, whatever that means in regards to interdimensional or inter-spacetime travel.

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

Vel: I've been waiting for you, Ludger-sama.
Vel: Please hand the data to the president directly.
Elle: Amazing!
Leia: So big! And pretty!
Jude: Don't talk so loud.
Vel: Who are these people?

-L1: My companions. (Jude, Leia, Alvin, Elle +)
-R1: I don't know them.

Vel: The only I called for was Ludger-sama however.
Elle: You can't pick favorites.
Jude: I'm travelling with Ludger as his friend.
Alvin: I'm acting as guardian for these minors.*
Leia: I'm a guardian too!
Elle: Elle is…
Elle: Lulu's guardian!
Vel: …Please wait here a moment.
Alvin: So Leia's a guardian huh?
Leia: Look who's talking!
Vel: It is fine for you all to go in.
Vel: The president is pleased with your work. Ludger-sama, it appears your popularity is growing.**

*Not that it matters in JRPG-land where 12 year olds save the world, but technically most of your party is underage haha. Jude and Leia are only 16 and Elle is 8. Though Ludger is 20.
**She really said popularity. I don't know why. Popularity with who? People in the company? Or is this just how much Bisley likes him? We really haven't accomplished all that much in the last couple chapters.

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

Bisley: I've been waiting for you, Ludger-kun.
Bisley:  This is definitely it.
Bisley: Have you found any clues in regards to Julius's whereabouts?
Bisley: Well, I have good news and bad news for you.
Bisley: Which do you want to hear first?

-L1: The good news, of course. (Bisley +)
-R1: Bad news…? (Bisley +)

R1 Route:
Vel: It seems the police are now openly searching for you, Ludger-sama.
Ludger: !
Bisley: The police are quite stubborn and unyielding.
Elle: Ludger, will they arrest you…?
Leia: You have good news too right?
Bisley: I'd like to make you an agent of my company.
Ludger: !
Bisley: It's not something to be surprised about. This is the result of my observation of your actions.
Bisley: You have the strength of will to face whatever situation is thrown your way.  And you are strong.
Jude: Observation…  You've been watching us? kansatu tte… anata ga sou shimuketan deshou?
Alvin: You were just testing Ludger.
Bisley: Well I can't test someone's abilities just based on some written tests or their words.
Bisley: Well? If you become an agent, the police won't be able to stop you.**
Jude: You've made it so Ludger cannot refuse!
Bisley: Why not just think of it as killing two birds with one stone? As an agent you'll receive ample pay.
Bisley: You'll escape arrest, and if you show results, you'll be able to quickly pay off that enormous debt.
Ludger: …!
Jude: Why are you doing this? What are you planning?
Bisley: The destruction of the alternate timelines.
Elle: Alternate… timelines.
Bisley: I'm sure you have some knowledge of it by now.
Alvin: That strange world we were in!
Bisley: Right now, we are here. But this is a parallel world that branched off from the true timeline at some point in history.
Bisley: That is an alternate timeline.
Vel:  Since the alternate timelines came into existence, the energy from souls that should exist in our timeline has begun to diffuse.
Leia: Diffuse… That's bad, isn't it?
Jude: If we leave things as they are, what will happen?
Bisley: Souls will probably vanish completely from this timeline.
Bisley: And naturally, humans will die out as well.
Alvin: Hey, hey.
Leia: Even if you say that…
Bisley: Elenpios will be destroyed. "Origin" will fail.
Bisley: What would say if those are the effects of the energy of souls vanishing from this timeline?
Jude: That can't be true!
Bisley: But it's actually happening.
Jude: …
Bisley: The Clanspia Company, in order to protect the world, has been secretly trying to destroy the alternate timelines.
Leia: How do you destroy another world…
Ludger: !
Bisley: Yes. Ludger has already been doing just that.
Bisley: Ludger's transformation, Corpse Shell, is a power that lets one enter an alternate timeline, and destroy it.
Jude: The power to destroy worlds…
Elle: Stop, speak simpler so I can understand!  
Bisley: Ludger, for the sake of the world, I want to borrow your power.

-L1: …Alright. (Bisley +)
-R1: Is Julius involved in this too? (Bisley +)

R1 Route:
Bisley: He was my strongest agent.
Bisley: The number of timelines that Julius destroyed is over 100.
Ludger: …
Vel: There's a high probability that ex-Division Manager Julius escaped to one of the alternate timelines.
Bisley: If you find him, you'll be killing three birds with one stone.
Bisley: Just as I thought.
Bisley: With this, you are now one of my company's alternate timeline counter-measure agents.
Ludger: …
Jude: …
Jude: Tell me just one thing.
Jude: Why did these alternate timelines come into existence in the first place?
Vel: Someone is pulling the strings.
Bisley: A great spirit that lives in the Land of Canaan.
Bisley: Khronos.
Elle: Lives in the Land of Canaan!
Jude: The great spirit Khronos!
Bisley: There's nothing to fear. We have the power to oppose him.
Bisley: Come to the underground training area. I'll teach you how to use Corpse Shell.

(bonus scene if you completed Leia Episode 1)

Leia: Being an agent of the Clanspia Company is a top-notch job, but…
Leia: Is this really alright, Ludger?

-L1: Not really, but… (Leia +)
-R1: Yes. This is the job I've always wanted.

Leia: I thought so.
Leia: But, to be noticed by Bisley-san is really cool!
Leia: The Editor-in-Chief doesn't really notice me at all.
Leia: So, if you think of it as a good opportunity that might help…
Leia: Argh! Even though I'm a journalist I still can't find the words to say what I'm trying to say, I'm sorry.  

*This line is a little confusing since the wording is vague and he uses a verb that has a few different meanings. The line is "観察って...あなたがそう仕向けたんでしょう?" so if anyone knows exactly what that second part means let me know.  I'm pretty sure it's something like what I wrote. He doesn't literally say "watching", but my best guess at the meaning is "you treated us in that way?", but what I wrote is a bit more natural I think.
**Haha, so  job titles affect the police's power over citizens. I'm sure THAT won't come back to bite their society in the butt or anything. 

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


Bisley: You're here Ludger. Time is of the essence, so I'll get right to the point.
Bisley: I'll have you learn to use your power in real combat.
Ludger: !
Bisley: Do not interfere!
Ludger: Gr!

(battle)

Ludger: Ha, haa…
Elle: Ludger changed into that strange form…!
Bisley: That is enough.
Bisley: Compared to Julius, you still have a long way to go.
Leia: That was Corpse Shell…
Alvin: Why does Ludger have this power?
Bisley: Because he is a descendant of Kresnik.
Bisley: That watch.
Bisley: It has been given to members of the Kresnik family for generations. It is the key to transforming.
Bisley: Although, it seems Julius has been using yours.*
Ludger: …
Elle: It's not Ludger's watch, it's Papa's.
Jude: Kresnik was the sage who wielded the spear of will around the time of the creation of the world, right?
Bisley: Sage Kresnik… So that's how the lore has been passed down in Liese Maxia.
Jude: It's different in Elenpios?
Leia: If he's not a sage, then what?
Bisley: The plaything of the spirits.
Bisley: Corpse Shell was given to that family… no, it was a curse placed upon them.
Bisley: It's also a weapon left among humans.
Bisley: I'm sure you'll be able to master it.
Ludger: …
Jude: …
Bisley: When new timelines are discovered, you will be contacted.
Bisley: You're free to take it easy until then.
Nova: Hey Ludger! I don't really want to say this but…
Nova: Are you trying to skip out on paying back your debt recently?** People don't like guys who don't work hard.
Elle: I guess we don't have time to take it easy.

*Julius had two watches in Chapter 1.

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

Vel: Please wait. I forgot to give you this world map.*
Vel: A world map is one of the first pieces of equipment given to alternate timeline counter-measure agents.
Vel: Division Manager Julius… No, ex-division manager. It should come in handy as you search for him.

*OMG, we can warp now! Press R3! No more walking back and forth everywhere, YES!

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

ヴェルからのコール1 [main]
Call from Vel 1

Vel: This is Vel from the Clanspia Company. A new alternate timeline has been discovered.
Vel: As an alternate timeline agent, here are your orders, Ludger-sama.
Vel: This is your first mission. Once you have completed your preparations, please come to the Clanspia Company.
Elle: I wonder if we'll find that old guy with glasses and that spirit that lives in the Land of Canaan.
Lulu: Meow~…
Ludger: …
