Duel
...A chance to clash with our full strength?
You caused all this over something that trivial?
Trivial?
That joke goes too far, Hilde.
Do you truly not know? Or are you deliberately turning away?
...
You know it too, do you not?
That day, there were no [possibilities] for you and I to fight.
I only came here to pay my respects in the first place.
And yet, an unusual [variable] emerged back then.
From that moment on, you and I became nothing more than actors.
There was someone else who truly wanted to be on this stage, after all.
Are you saying this wasn't caused by your own whims?
Do you seriously expect me to believe that?
Whether you believe it or not is up to you.
I merely played along with the director who prepared the stage.
So fight with everything you have, Hilde.
This kind of opportunity does not come often, does it?
Asmodeus... You and your riddles—
You can't just run off on your own like that, Hilde!
Rosaria...! So this is where you were?
Ah! Mister, there you are!
You're all here!
Captain! I'm so glad you're safe!
Huh? So Hilde did not come alone?
How admirable, having the courage to stand before me instead of fleeing.
Damn it... That monster...
Just locking eyes with her makes my whole body tremble...
S-still!
We can't keep running away forever.
It's scary, but... if we have to face her, now's the time.
For Lavistar, too!
Captain, while I'm dealing with Rosaria, I won't be able to watch the others.
Take command of the battle. I'm counting on you.
Fufu. How adorable, the way all of you carry on.
Very well. Come at me with everything you have.
And don't you dare disappoint me.
