Before the Final Trial
Every beginning has an end.
A proverb from the Eastern Continent. It means one should see things through.
Once this trial is over, everything will be finished.
...
Captain.
When the Journey ends, will you allow me to remain by your side as your aide?
No need to worry about my duties as an Observer. I intend to resign.
...All of a sudden?!
It was a joke.
The air felt heavy, so I thought I'd lighten the mood. How was it?
I nearly had a heart attack!
Is that so? Jokes are difficult, I see.
...Unless something exceptional happens, I will continue working as an Observer.
During this Journey, I've realized something.
Why I began this work in the first place, what happens without it...
And just how much I truly enjoy it...
I want to work for Polaris until I retire.
And keep helping those who seek our help.
But it is also true that I found meaning in assisting you, Captain.
So...
Should I ever retire, or change my mind...
Then I will stand by your side.
...Is that also a joke?
...Haha.
What do you think?
...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.
