Odin/Lazward C-A Rank (Update 6/29)

C RANK

ODIN: My ultimate attack... Awakening Vander! Kapowwwww! Ba-ba-baaaaang! Hah, is that all you're made of...? Not even a challenge for me, Odin of the Darkness!

LAZWARD: ... Odin... you still play around like that?

ODIN: Ah! You... Lazwald of the Blue Skies!

LAZWARD: What's with that ridiculous name? You're all grown up now... don't you think it's time to give up the kiddie games?

ODIN: These are no kiddie games. I am simply devoting my body to the creation of new hexes...

LAZWARD: It's no use... you're just gotten worse... I'll go report this to His Higness Leon. Let him know that you're slacking off during training again.

ODIN: Heeeeey! Wait! Stop! You've still got time to reconsider!

LAZWARD: Hmmm, what shall I do~?

ODIN: If that's how you wanna play, then how about I report to His Highness Marx that you're skipping training to go pick up girls?

LAZWARD: Whaaaa!? No, anything but that!!

ODIN: Then don't you dare report me to His Highness Leon!

LAZWARD: Ugh... fine. Then, how about we spar together? They shouldn't have a problem with that.

ODIN: That's just what I wanted! ... Man, this takes me back. When we're together like this, it feels like I've returned to the old days.

LAZWARD: Yeah. I wonder what everyone's up to now...

ODIN: You never know. Maybe they forgot all about us and went off to have fun on their own.

LAZWARD:...

ODIN: That was a joke! A joke!! Don't glar ate me like that! Come on, let's get sparring! Tonight, I'll face off against you with my partner, the Forbidden Tome: Geyser Qual!

LAZWARD: Really? Then I'll take you on with my Mystic Sword: Dancing Edge!

ODIN: ...Huh!? What did you just say!?

LAZWARD: The Mystic Sword: Dancing Edge.

ODIN: Y-you... You've finally started naming your own weapons?

LAZWARD: Fufu. I am an adult, after all. I've gotta play along with your games.

ODIN: You have considerable naming sense. Just what I'd expect from Lazward of the Blue Skies.

LAZWARD: Thanks, Odin of the Darkness.

ODIN: Hey, Lazward of the Blue Skies. You put up quite the fight the other day. That Mystic Sword: Dancing Edge is quite the blade.

LAZWARD: Lazward of the Blue Skies, was it...?

ODIN: Hm. You don't like that alias? In that case, I'll think of a new one...

LAZWARD: No, that's not it. I think I've gotten pretty used to being called Lazward.

ODIN: That's to be expected. We agreed not to use our real names. The three of us, you, me, and Luna.

LAZWARD: Though you couldn't keep it together at first. You'd keep on forgetting our names. You can memorize a weapon's name in a second, so why would you be so bad at that...?

ODIN: Ugh...! That's because it was the first time dealing with a name change. But I dealt with it through grueling labor, didn't I? I mean, people might get suspicious if they overheard... And we'd be in some hot water if we got fired from our posts. If we're not near them, we can't fulfill our duties.

LAZWARD: Their Majesties Marx and Leon are good people, too. I feel sad knowing we'll have to part with them soneday.

ODIN: Yeah, I've started wishing I could stay here forever too.

LAZWARD: ... Odin, what is it that we're doing here, forming bonds with people we normally never could have met? I'm always scared of having to say goodbye.

ODIN: Oh, what's the matter? It's rare to see you in such grief.

LAZWARD: I'm not in grief! You were talking about that serious stuff, so I kinda got dragged along.

ODIN: Hey, don't blame me.

LAZWARD: I will blame you. It was your fault, and that's a fact.

ODIN: Oh? You wanna go? You think you can handle the spouting flames of my magic tome?

LAZWARD: That looks more like a book you wrote yourself, rather than a tome, though.

ODIN: What the-!? I-I got the wrong one-

LAZWARD: Let's see... "The Book Of New Curses"?

ODIN: Don't look at the title!

LAZWARD: Is that thing supposed to spout flames? How does it do that? C'mon, tell me!

ODIN: Urgh...

LAZWARD: Ahaha, it's funny that your book has a normal title.

ODIN: Tch. Don't laugh at me... though I guess it is better than you looking all doom and gloom. Having you making those light jabs is more... "You", I'd say.

LAZWARD: True enough. But... our past selves...

ODIN: Hm? What's up?

LAZWARD: Oh! Nothing! Nothing at all! Come on, it's time for the war council! Let's go, Odin!!

ODIN: Uh... sure...?

LAZWARD: Odin.

ODIN: Lazward... What's the matter? Why the somber face?

LAZWARD: Are we really the people we are? Are our memories real?

ODIN: Huh...? What's gotten into you?

LAZWARD:  It's been a while since we came here, hasn't it. Both you and I, Odin. We've become Their Highnesses Marx and Leon's retainers, and started acting like we were always here.

ODIN: So you're saying it feels like we've become different people?

LAZWARD: Yeah. This world, the people, and even our names, they're all different, and it makes me think, maybe our memories of the other world were all a dream. That maybe our other selves are long dead, and we're totally different people from them...

ODIN: Don't be ridiculous, man. That other world undoubtedly existed, and you are exactly who you are. Once our duties here end, we need to go back. If either of those worlds is a dream, it would have to be this one.

LAZWARD: It's like we've always been dreaming, isn't it?

ODIN: ...

LAZWARD: Hey, remember when our very first world was destroyed? After that... we managed to reunite with our moms in the next world, and fought until we defeated the evil dragon.

ODIN: Yeah, how could I ever forget? That feeling the moment we slayed that dragon... I can't even put it into words.

LAZWARD: It was fun being in that world, wasn't it? Searching for tiaras, getting chased by bears...

ODIN: Hahaha... that really takes me back. Of course I remember it all. It's not something you dreamed up.

LAZWARD: Yeah, when I talk to you, I understand. I'm glad I didn't come alone this time. If I had... I might not be able to bear it.

ODIN: Lazward...

LAZWARD: Thanks for listening, Odin. It really helped. I guess that technically fulfills the promise we made way back, huh?

ODIN: Promise? What promise?

LAZWARD: That festival way back when, right? You said you'd gimme a shoulder to lean on in hard times.

ODIN: Ah... that's right.

Oh, it's almost time to move out. Let's go, Azur[Inigo].

LAZWARD: Huh!? What did you just-

ODIN: What's the matter, Azur of the Blue Skies? Didn't catch me saying your real name? Nothing wrong with that every once in a while, is there? There's nobody else around. Not even Serena[Severa] would have a problem with that... I hope.

LAZWARD: Ah... ahahaha... Thanks... Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better now.

ODIN: Alright, you've finally smiled. That's a better look for you. You look your best with a smile... You always have.

LAZWARD: You too, Eudes[Owain]. You haven't changed a bit either. No matter where we go, we'll still be ourselves.
