Before the Final Trial
Hmm...
It's kinda surreal.
That we made it this far?
Hah! You're just stating the obvious.
Feels like it was just yesterday that I arrived in NOA.
And now it's almost over...
Time really did fly by in the blink of an eye.
Still, I saved up some cash, got in good training...
I've gained more than I expected.
Hey!
Me?
Yeah, you.
What are you gonna do when it's over?
...Planning to go back to your quarters and rest?
You idiot! I'm asking what you'll do when the Journey ends!
If you've got no plans, come find me. I'll put you to work.
You're the first person who could keep up with my pace.
Honestly, I want you on my team.
We're busting our backs now, but later we'll be chilling on a carrot farm. Think it over.
Don't sweat the benefits! We've got everything covered. Ha-hah!
Are you saying you'll take care of me forever?
Yeah, I'll take care of you for—Hmm?
Wh-what?! That came out weird, didn't it?
I mean, of course I'll take responsibility... but forever? Doesn't that sound a bit much?
It almost sounds like...
...Huh?
What are you grinning for?
You punk! You're totally messing with me, aren't you?!
You totally were!
Answer me! Say something before I knock you into next week! No? Then I'm doing it anyway!
...Are you ready, Captain?
Is it time?
Yes. The Star Savior Succession Trial, the [Journey].
Its final trial will now begin.
Your opponent will be the [Executor of Aldebaran, Gille].
[Dirac's Well] has begun projection.
You'd better explain everything when this is over!
If I don't like your answer, you're gonna get the beating of a lifetime! Got that?!
But first... hah!
I've got something right in front of me I need to take care of first!
