Well then, Bishop Noma, I’ll be off.

But, Father.
It’s already been three years since crops last grew on this land.
The people are suffering from hunger to the point that they come all the way to this abbey seeking salvation.
What in the world befell the Earth Goddess Mila? That, I want to make certain of myself.

That’s why I want to ask you for a favor.

You’re a mercenary, aren’t you? Could you not help protect us?

Gra… Grandfather! Why are you here?!

Yes. I received help from all sorts of people.
I’m planning to go with them to the Temple of Mila.
While we’re at the temple, I’d like to ask Lady Mila about the matter of the crops.

It… it can’t be! … Alm?
The young hero who liberated Sofia that everyone’s been talking about couldn’t possibly be Alm, could it, Grandfather?}*

Alm… So it really was you, Alm.
That’s great. I wanted to meet you…
I haven’t seen you at all since I left the village…

I was sad too, but it couldn’t be helped.

Grandfather told me so.

‘At this rate, if you stay in Rahm, Dozer will come attack the village.’

After that, I would be captured and killed…

That… I’m sorry. I’d rather not say right now.
Leaving that aside, Alm, I have a request for you.
Is there no way war against the Kingdom of Rigel can be avoided?

But when it comes down to it, both Rigelians and Sofians are the same, aren’t they? We are all people of Valencia.
Even if these divisions of country no longer existed, we should all still be able to live together in happiness.

That’s a sad thing, isn’t it…
As for me, I don’t think Emperor Rudolf is as evil of a man as everyone says.
If we meet with him and talk, we’ll definitely be able to come to an understanding…
Unless, Alm, now that everyone’s holding you up as a hero, you want to become the king of the country as well?

There’s no such thing as any princess of Sofia! The royal family has already been wiped out!
All right, that’s enough. I get it, Alm. You go ahead to Rigel.
I’m going to go with my companions to the Temple of Mila.

Good-bye, Alm…
