Rowen Episode 2 – Rowen's Secret

Woman: Rowen-san, you've returned home!
Woman: Drossel-sama has been so worried. You should stop by the mansion once in a while.
Rowen: Yes. I'll do that.
Rowen: Ludger-san, I don't believe I've told you about this yet, have I?
Ludger: ?
Rowen: In the past, I worked for Drossel-sama of the Sharl family, the family that is in charge of this city.
Rowen: I was thinking of paying a visit to Drossel-sama now, actually...
Tipo: Don't forget about us!
Elise: You're going to go visit Drossel, right? I'd like to come too.
Elise: Ludger, you should come too!

-L1: Well if Rowen's going, then I think I'll come along too. (Rowen +)
-R1: I can't refuse if Elise is inviting me. (Elise +)

R1 Route:
Elise: Yeah! It'll be fun with Ludger along.
Tipo: I like this agreeable side of Ludger <3 br=""> Rowen: Hohoho, shall we be off then?
Rowen: Oh, it seems I've received a text. Please just wait a moment so I can reply.
Tipo: So fast!?
Rowen: Sorry for keeping you all waiting.

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

Rowen: ...Ah, that's right! I forgot one thing I needed to do.
Rowen: I apologize. You all go on ahead.
Elise: What is it?
Rowen: It's just a minor thing. I'll be back shortly.
Elle: He's gone.
Tipo: I wonder what it is, coming up so suddenly...
-L1: Let's follow him. (Rowen +)
-R1: Let's go meet with Drossel.
L1 Route:
Elle: Eh, why?
Tipo: He told us to go on ahead without him...
Elise: I agree, we should follow him. I'm interested in what's going on.
Elise: Let's hurry. He headed out towards the Kurama Side Road.

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

Rowen: Ludger-san... It would've been better if you'd just gone on ahead.

-L1: What in the world is going on?
-R1: Are you hurt? (Rowen +)

R1 Route:
Rowen: Nothing serious. Thank you.
Elise: These people attacked you, Rowen?
Rowen: They're part of a group of extremists who oppose peace between the two countries. They probably dislike me a great deal.
Rowen: They just attacked me, so I had to deal with them a little forcibly.*

-L1: ...That's an unpleasant role to play.
-R1: Rowen, why are you doing so much to achieve peace?

R1 Route:
Rowen: With the Shell gone now, I don't think there is a possible happy future unless we achieve peace.
Rowen: I think achieving that peace is the last role that has been assigned to me.
Rowen: I'm an old man now, so I haven't time to sit around regretting my actions. I've got to act.
Elise: Rowen...
Rowen: Ah, excuse me. Another text. 
Rowen: ...Hm. It's from Marcia-san.
Elise: Eh? From the prime minister?
Tipo: Since when were you good enough friends to start texting each other!?
Rowen: After we returned from the alternate timeline where we met her, I formally contacted her in this world.
Rowen: Since then we have periodically been exchanging texts.

-L1: What was the text about?
-R1: Rowen... you got close to her pretty fast. (Rowen +)

R1 Route:

Rowen: No, we've just been discussing Bradberry's works right now... Unexpectedly, she is quite interested in the subject.**
Tipo: What did the text say?
Rowen: I'll read it out loud if you'd like.
Marcia: We believe extremists from Elenpios are planning to go after your life.

Marcia: It's not much, but I'd like to provide you with some support. Please tell me your whereabouts…

Tipo: Rowen, you're going to be attacked again!

Elise: B, but… if help is on the way then we've no need to worry, right?

Rowen: No, help won't come. I refused her offer.

Elle: You refused!?

Tipo: Wha! Why!?

Rowen: I know she had good intentions in making that offer.

Rowen: However, there are some who would take this opportunity and turn it into a diplomatic issue. Therefore…

Rowen: I'll cut through myself.

Elle: Ah…

Elise: Eh! Already…!?

Tipo: Things are developing too fast!

(battle)

Rowen: …We somehow made it through.

Elle: I was so surprised…

Elle: Ah…

Elle: Thank you.

Rowen: It's from Prime Minister Marcia.

Tipo: Ohh, what does it say?

Marcia: I'm shocked… or rather I'd like to say that. To be honest I feared the same thing.

Marcia: Please be safe. I would like to meet and talk with you again.

Marcia: PS.  Both you and King Gaius who appointed you are very important people.

Elise: The prime minister really seems to believe in Rowen and Gaius.

Rowen: If that is true it would be nice…

-L1: Of course it's true. (Rowen +)

-R1: Don't be so down on yourself.

L1 Route:

Elle: Elle thinks so too! You've worked so hard after all.

Elise: "Make choices will benefit people everywhere." Rowen, I think you understand that very well.

Rowen: Everyone… thank you.

Rowen :Well then, shall we actually head to Drossel-sama's mansion now?

Tipo: Drossel, we're on our way~

*This line is a little vague, I'm not sure if understand it correctly. It's something like that.
**I dunno why he says "unexpectedly" since the alternate Marcia was interested in Bradberry too. Maybe he's just suprised the real Marcia is too?

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

Drossel: Eli! And Rowen!

Elise: We're home!
Drossel: I'm so glad to see you both doing well!

Rowen: We were in Callaha Sharl, so we thought we'd stop by.

Drossel: I'm sure your journey has been tough, Rowen. And for you as well, Ludger.

Elle: Elle and Lulu have been travelling too!

Drossel: Hehe. That's true, isn't it?

Drossel: This is perfect timing. There's something I want to do with you all.

Elise: Something you want to do?

Rowen: What could it be?

Drossel: Well, you see…

Tipo: My heart is pounding…

Drossel: A time capsule!

Everyone: A time capsule!?

-L1: Please let me join in too! (Rowen +)

-R1: A time capsule… what is that?

L1 Route:

Drossel: Oh yes, of course you can join in, Ludger.

Elle: What's a time capsule?

Drossel: You bury memorable objects and then years and years from now you dig them up. Isn't it wonderful?

Elle: Hm, that sounds fun!

Rowen: But why do you suddenly want to make a time capsule?

Drossel: It's not sudden. I've always wanted to make one.

Drossel: I want to make memories with all of you.

 Elise: Make memories… that's sounds great!

Drossel: Then it's decided! We should split up and find items we want to bury!

Tipo: I wonder what I should bury?

Elle: How about Tipo?

Tipo: What! No way!

Elle: What should Elle bury~

Drossel: Hmm, this sort of worrying together can create memories as well!

Rowen: Hohoho, that's just like milady.

Drossel: Come as soon as you've decided what you want to bury, ok?  

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

Drossel: Did you decide what to put in the time capsule?

-L1: Yes, I've decided.

-R1: Please give me a little more time.

L1 Route:

Drossel: Everyone's decided then! Now, put all your items in here.

Drossel: This should be good.

Rowen: Milady, how many years should we wait to dig it up?

Drossel: Hmm… Let's wait 10 years!

Elise: 10 years…

Tipo: Elise will be an adult by then!

Elle: Elle will be an adult too!

Rowen: I'll be…

Drossel: Stop, Rowen. Now you'll have no choice but to live a long life.

Drossel: No matter what happens, you have to keep your promise.

Rowen: Milady.

Drossel: That's an order.

Rowen: …Understood. I have received your order.

Drossel: Hehe, I'm looking forward to 10 years from now.

Drossel: I wonder what the world will be like then?

Alvin Episode 2 – Business Partner

Alvin: Hey, good work last time.*

-L1: What are you planning to do this time?

-R1: Alvin, how are you feeling? (Alvin +)

R1 Route:

Alvin: I'm feeling ok I guess.

Alvin: I have to work today. I have an appointment with my partner.

Vel: This is Vel from the Alternate Timeline Counter-Measure Division. A new alternate timeline has been discovered.

Alvin: Her calls have good timing.

Vel: This is work-related.

Leia: Heh.**

Vel: I've sent you the coordinates, so please confirm that you've received them.

Vel: The entry point is Duvohl. I'm counting on  you to handle it.

Leia: You got a new mission, right?

Alvin: Did you accept it?

Leia: I wonder what kind of alternate timeline it'll be this time.  

Alvin: Hmm, well how should I put it… Perhaps I should just give in and say "I'll help out too"?

Alvin: …Of course.

*This is a ritual Japanese phrase that means "good work." Not sure if he's referring to the fighting they do in general for the story or for the work Ludger helped Alvin with in his first character episode. Probably the latter.

**I don't get why this is funny? And anyway, how did she hear what Alvin whispered a few feet away from the phone?

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

Jurgens: Hm? What's is it, Alvin?

Jurgens: Did you complete the delivery already?

Alvin: Ah, about that…

Alvin: There's been a change. It was no longer convenient for the other party to meet up.

Jurgens: I see. Once again, they've changed their plans quite suddenly.

Jurgens: Ah, Leia, you're here too. It's sure been a while.

Leia: Ah… I've been busy with, um, work.

Alvin: By the way, how is Isla-san doing?

Jurgens: Thankfully, she's doing quite well.

Jurgens: Our child that she's carrying is doing well too.*

Elle: A baby!?

Leia: Ah!

-L1: Congratulations.

-R1: When did this…

L1 Route:

Jurgens: Thank you.

Jurgens: I still can't believe it's really happening.

Alvin: You should stop working for today.

Alvin: I'll handle the rest.

Alvin: You should spend some time with your wife once in a while.

Jurgens: …Well then, I'm counting on you.

Alvin: Yeah.

Alvin: I wanted to do an inventory check too, could you lend me the key?

Jurgens: Ah, right.

Jurgens: Alvin.

Alvin: Hm?

Jurgens: I'm glad we're working together.

Jurgens: Thank you.

-L1: …What's wrong, Alvin? (Alvin +)

-R1: That went well.

L1 Route:

Alvin: No, nothing… I'm just thinking about the past.

Leia: …Are you ok?

Alvin: No problems here.

Alvin: …Is what I'd like to say at least, but I feel weird about tricking him.

Leia: Yeah…

Alvin: Are you worrying about me again?

Leia: Again, you're making fun of me.

Alvin: Leia, you just can't help feeling bad about it, right?

Alving: Well then… let's get to work.

*Isla is Jurgens's wife. By "carrying" I mean pregnant.

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

Julius: What's is it, Ludger? You're rather early.

Ludger: …Hm?

Julius: Hm, you brought home some unusual guests again.

-L1: They're friends. (Alvin +)

-R1: Unusual…?

L1 Route:

Alvin: Hello.

Leia: Sorry for intruding.

Julius: Welcome.

Julius: It seems your business is going well.

Alvin: Well, it's doing alright.

Julius: That's a pretty big deal for Little Al, who used to be such a crybaby.

Elle: Crybaby…?

Leia: Little Al?

Alvin: Ah… I don't really know where you're going with this.

Julius: …Did you forget?

Julius: Even though I helped you out and gave you advice.

Julius: You sure have gotten taller too.

Julius: In the past,  you used to be shorter than all the girls your age. Baran used to tease you about it…

Alvin: Eh?

Julius: He was a very clever even from a young age. You always used to lose when arguing with him.

Alvin: Wha…

Julius: Ah, it's time.

Julius: See you later, Alfred.

Julius: Don't teach Ludger anything bad.

Leia: Umm… What was that all about?

-L1: They know each other!?

-R1: They seem close.

R1 Route:

Alvin: No way, how could that be…

Alvin: …But then, when I was young…

Alvin: This guy that looked after me used to sing that one song…*

Elle: Eh!?

Leia: Could it be that that person was…!?

Alvin: It's possible this connection is exclusive to this world.

Alvin: He probably isn't the guy that I knew when I was younger.

Alvin: But if he was…

*He's wondering if some guy who looked after him when he was young is actually Julius, because he doesn't really remember. Alvin spent most of his life stuck in Liese Maxia. That's kind of weird though, because Julius is only one year older than Alvin. Although, maybe he means "look after," more like as in an older brother figure to play with, rather than a babysitter. Not sure what's up with this song he mentioned.

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

Alvin: Wow, he sure has collected a lot.

Jurgens: …What are you doing!?

Jurgens: Get out of my way!

Alvin: Calm down. What's wrong?

Jurgens: The party you were supposed to make a delivery to demanded to know why you didn't show up!

Jurgens: …Why did you lie to me? What are you thinking, Alvin!?

Alvin: This is work… Sorry.

Jurgens: …Ah.

Jurgens: You, thoughtlessly just…

Alvin: Ludger!

Jurgens: Stop!

Jurgens: Why, Alvin!?

Alvin: …

Jurgens: …Traitor!!

Alvin: I…

Jurgens: Ah, so you were here.

Alvin: Yeah… What's up?

Jurgens: About before…

Jurgens: I'm sorry.

Jurgens: I said terrible things to you, saying I didn't trust you…

Alvin: Yeah…

Jurgens: I'm sure I hurt you.

Alvin: Well… I can't say that's wrong.

Alvin: But it's true that I'm not always true to my word.

Leia: Hey.

Jurgens: So you were hurt by what I said.

Jurgens: I'm sorry.

Alvin: Stop.

Alvin: …Sorry.

Jurgens: No…

Jurgens: Anyway, I just wanted to meet up to apologize.

Jurgens: Sorry if I inconvenienced you.

Leia: Alvin…

Alvin: Whenever we try to honestly talk to one another, we just end up trying to please the other person and not saying what we mean. It should be so simple…

Alvin: …How pathetic…

-L1: Cheer up, Alvin. (Alvin +)

-R1: It really is pathetic.

L1 Route:

Alvin: Ludger, you're too softhearted to say anything mean too.

Alvin: Damn, as always I just keep causing people who are younger than me to worry about me…

Alvin: Well, I'll just have to cheer up by getting some work done.

Alvin: …I'll show you that I can succeed without having to dig up those crystals.

Milla Episode 2 – Aiming to be Number One!

Milla: There you are, I caught you. Come here.
Elle: ...Are you playing tag or something?
Milla: Bzzt, wrong.
Milla: Well then, since you guys are here, you can help me make preparations.
Jude: Milla-san, at least tell us where you're taking us.
Milla: It's just somewhere nearby.
Elle: To do what?
Milla: I want you to help me procure a "bear's claw!"
Elle: Bear! We get to meet a bear?*
Milla: Yes. I heard that there is one living nearby.
Milla: Didn't you know? A "bear's claw" is a very high-quality ingredient that makes an excellent soup base.
Jude: This bear, don't tell me it's in Nol Fire Cave...?
Elle: Do you know if this bear is fluffy?
Jude: Umm, I don't think so... aren't bears those really ferocious monsters?
Milla: That's right. That's why I'm asking you all to help.

-L1: You asked for our help?
-R1: This is a bit sudden…

L1 Route:
Milla: Yes, I asked you.
Milla: Well, it's decided then, right?
Milla: Let's go bear hunting!
Elle: Bear!
Lulu: Meow...

*Why does she WANT to meet a bear in the wild? o_O

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

Milla: From what I've heard, it should be somewhere around here.

Jude: Then let's split up and look for it.

Elle: Did you find it, Ludger?

Milla: Ahh!

Elle: Milla, watch out!

-L1: (Catch Milla before she falls) (Milla +)

-R1: (Do nothing)

L1 Route:

Milla: Ah, thank…

Milla: Wa… watch where you're grabbing!

Jude: What happened?

Elle: Well, Ludger grabbed Milla's…

Milla: Elle! You don't need to tell him.

Mila: What's wrong? Why do you look so surprised…

Jude: Milla-san!

Elle: Behind you!

Milla: …Eh!?

(boss battle)

Elle: This wasn't the kind of bear I wanted to meet…

Milla: Teach me what you know about cooking.

Ludger: !?

Milla: As an apology for earlier.

Milla: If you teach me, I'll forgive you.

-L1: You'll forgive me… How selfish.

-R1: Alright. (Milla +)

R1 Route:

Milla: Right. Just teach me and everything will be good between us.

Jude: Umm, is everything… ok between you two?

Milla: Yes, now I'll be able to make the best soup ever.

Jude: Have you completed the recipe?

Milla: Just about. I still need to adjust the ratios of the ingredients.

Milla: I have a super secret weapon too.

-L1: A secret weapon? (Milla +)

-R1: What are you planning to use next time…?

L1 Route:

Milla: Stupid, if I tell you it's not a secret weapon anymore.

Milla: If I told you, I wouldn't be able to become number one.

Jude: You seem very excited about this, Milla-san.

Milla: I'm not that excited… I just want to surprise Elle.

Elle: Hey, what are you talking about?

Milla: We were just talking about how Ludger is no match for me in cooking.

Elle: Huh, really?

Milla: Really, really.

Milla: Right, Lulu?
