\f[2|Igrene]\f[5|Astolfo]
\s[2]
You...!|

\s[5]
Hm?|

\s[2]
Oh...!|/n
Is it...|/n
Is it really you?|

\s[5]
Whoa, what the?|/n
What's going on?|/n
I'm Astolfo.|/n
Just a measly thief.|

\s[2]
...You look like him...|/n
You look so much like.../n
my husband...|

\s[5]
Your husband?|

\s[2]
I lived with my husband in Arcadia.|/n
...That is, until he suddenly left/n
without saying a word...|

\s[5]
Huh.|/n
And he looks exactly like me?|/n
Well, they say that there are at/n
least 3 people on the continent/n
with the same face.|

\s[2]
Wait!|/n
Let me see your leg.|

\s[5]
Hey hey,/n
what're you doing?|

\s[2]
When I first met him, I found him/n
collapsed in the desert.|/n
The heat got to him, and he lost/n
memory of his past.|/n
He had blade wounds all over his body,/n
but he had a particularly bad injury/n
on his leg.|/n
It never fully healed, and it left/n
left a scar.|

\s[5]
Well, I'm not your man.|/n
My legs are clean, I don't have a scary/n
looking scar like that on either of them.|/n
Well, I have to get going.|

\s[2]
Oh...|

## Igrene x Astolfo B
\f[2|Igrene]\f[5|Astolfo]
\s[2]
......|

\s[5]
You again?|

\s[2]
Are you...|/n
Are you really not him?|

\s[5]
Nope.|/n
But hey, I can't believe this guy.|/n
He must be a real dastard to dump/n
such a beautiful woman like you.|

\s[2]
......|/n
Please, let me tell you/n
about him.|

\s[5]
All right.|

\s[2]
As I was treating his wounds,/n
we started living together.|/n
We lived happily for several years.|/n
Slowly, his memory started/n
returning to him.|/n
I was happy about it, but I was/n
also...scared.|

\s[5]
......|

\s[2]
One day, bandits attacked Arcadia.|/n
My husband left to fend them off,/n
and never came back.|

\s[5]
......|

\s[2]
The corpses of the bandits all sank/n
into the quicksand.|/n
I couldn't find my husband, so I/n
thought he had followed the same path.|

\s[5]
Well, that must be what happened.[A]

\s[2]
But...|/n
I can't help thinking in the bottom of my/n
heart that he might be alive somewhere.|

\s[5]
Ah. I see.|

\s[2]
But...|/n
If he were alive, he wouldn't just/n
disappear without saying anything...|

\s[5]
He probably wouldn't be leading such/n
a glamorous life anyway, even if he/n
were alive.|/n
I say you forget about him and/n
move on.|/n
Hey, I know.|/n
Maybe I can give you a kiss/n
in place of that guy...|

\s[2]
!|

\s[5]
Ow...|/n
Oh well...|

## Igrene x Astolfo A
\f[2|Igrene]\f[5|Astolfo]
\s[2]
Oh...|

\s[5]
Okay, I suppose the rejected man/n
should slink away now...|

\s[2]
Wait!|/n
Gorlois...!|/n
...I mean, Astolfo.|

\s[5]
......|

\s[2]
Please look at this...|/n
My husband was carrying it when/n
I first met him.|

\s[5]
What are these scribbles?|

\s[2]
They're not scribbles.|/n
This is an emblem given to/n
Lycian spies.|/n
I also did some research on what/n
kind of work they do... And.../n
I now understand...|

\s[5]
......|

\s[2]
Spies carry information that is/n
incredibly dangerous to the enemy/n
if it is leaked.|/n
If a spy gets caught, the enemy will/n
dig deep down into his weaknesses.|/n
Family members and lovers are taken/n
as hostages...|/n
And the spy is put through endless/n
torture until he spills every bit of/n
information that he has.|/n
That's why spies have to be alone...|/n
They must not make family or friends,/n
or lovers...|

\s[5]
...I'm sorry to say this to you, but...|/n
That guy is dead.|/n
He was devoured by the quicksand of/n
Nabata.|/n
All this stuff about spies and whatnot...|/n
It's just your imagination.|/n
Or perhaps you saw an illusion in the/n
desert heat.|

\s[2]
......|/n
I...see...|/n
Then...|/
I must have been dreaming...|/n
I must have had a dream of/n
a short period of happiness...|

\s[5]
...Igrene.|/n
...No...|/n
Sorry, forget it.|

\s[2]
......|

\s[5]
Just...forget it all.|/n
...Please.|

Saul
## Igrene x Saul C
\f[2|Igrene]\f[5|Saul]
\s[5]
Oh, dear God...|

\s[2]
?|

\s[5]
That I am able to meet such a/n
beautiful woman...|/n
This day must surely be blessed.|

\s[2]
...Do you need something?|

\s[5]
Yes, indeed!|/n
..Ah, before that...|/n
I am Saul.|/n
It would be an honor to know your name.|

\s[2]
I am Igrene.|/n
So...what do you need?|

\s[5]
Ah, such a beautiful name,/n
as I imagined.|

\s[2]
Igrene...|/n
If I were to describe the pleasure/n
of hearing such an elegant name...|

\s[5]
No, there is no need/n
to describe it.|/n
Do you need something?|/n
Do you know of the Elimine Church,/n
Igrene?|/n
It is very popular among the nobility,/n
because when you pray deeply all of|/n
your dreams will come true immediately!|

\s[2]
Oh...is that what/n
you want..|/n
I'm sorry, but I don't/n
believe in God...|

\s[5]
Oh, but you must.|/n
If you don't follow the Elimine/n
Church, you will be cursed!|

\s[2]
...Is that the kind of God/n
that you follow?|

\s[5]
Oh, no, I was just kidding around.|/n
How about if have dinner together/n
some evening, and I can teach you/n
about God's love...|

\s[2]
Um, Igrene?|/n
Where are you going?|

## Igrene x Saul B
\f[2|Igrene]\f[5|Saul]
\s[5]
Ah, Igrene!|

\s[2]
...You again.|

\s[5]
It is truly a miracle that we/n
can meet again like this.|/n
God must have guided you/n
towards me.|

\s[2]
Yes, that's nice.|/n
Well then, I must be going...|

\s[5]
Oh, please wait!|/n
It is a wonderful thing to believe,/n
Igrene!|

\s[2]
Yes, I know.|/n
I used to believe in God as well.|/n
Although it is a different God/n
than yours.|/n
I think I was fairly serious about it.|

\s[5]
Really?|/n
Why did you stop believing?|

\s[2]
Several years ago...|/n
I stopped praying.|/n
It was after I lost a loved one/n
in battle.|

\s[5]
...I see.|

\s[2]
Those who pray to God expect something/n
in return.|/n
But they will never receive anything,/n
and that causes people to hate God.|/n
I think that it would be a lot less/n
trouble to think that no being exists/n
in the first place.|

\s[5]
......|/n
Yes...|/n
You are right.|

\s[2]
...Is it all right for a priest/n
like you to be saying that?|/n

\s[5]
It is all right,/n
I am an open-minded person.|/n
However,/n
Saint Elimine did say this:/n
'God does not help us/n
because He believes in us.'|

\s[2]
Believes...in us?|

\s[5]
Yes.|

## Igrene x Saul A
\f[2|Igrene]\f[5|Saul]
\s[2]
Father Saul.|

\s[5]
Oh, Igrene!|/n
What is the matter?|/n
Ah, so you finally decided give/n
in to the urge, and see me...|

\s[2]
It is about what you said the/n
other day...|/n
You said that God does not help/n
us because He believes in us.|

\s[5]
This is what Saint Elimine said.|/n
God who created this world is all-/n
powerful.|/n
He can change people and the world.|/n
He can alter us humans so that we/n
so that we would not be fighting/n
like this.|/n
However, is that really the right/n
way?|

\s[2]
......|

\s[5]
Humans that act according to God's/n
will alone would be mindless puppets.|/n
God believes that we humans can change,/n
that we can learn from our mistakes.|/n
God knows that we can overcome our/n
hardships to achieve harmony.|

\s[2]
......|/n
I don't believe in God, but I respect/n
people who think as you do, Father Saul.|/n
I must be off now...|

\s[5]
Please, it is my pleasure to be/n
able to help you.|/n
Now, we can go on to discuss our/n
dinner meeting.|/n
...Igrene?|/n
Where are you going?|

Douglas
## Igrene x Douglas C
\f[2|Igrene]\f[5|Douglas]
\s[2]
Excuse me.|/n
Are you Lord Douglas/n
of Etruria?|

\s[5]
Yes, that is me.|

\s[2]
So you are the/n
Great General?|

\s[5]
I am but a simple soldier now.|

\s[2]
I see...|/n
I am Igrene,/n
guardian of Arcadia, in Nabata.|

\s[5]
Nabata...|

\s[2]
Yes.|/n
I fend off invaders in/n
the desert heat.|

\s[5]
I see.|/n
And do you need something from me?|

\s[2]
I wish for you to promise me never/n
to attack Nabata.|

\s[5]
...I cannot promise you that.|

\s[2]
Why not?|

\s[5]
We are knights...|/n
If the king orders an attack,/n
we must obey.|

\s[2]
Even if you know it to be wrong?|

\s[5]
That is part of being a knight.|

\s[2]
......|

## Igrene x Douglas B
\f[2|Igrene]\f[5|Douglas]
\s[2]
Lord Douglas,/n
about the other day...|/n
Can you promise as a nation/n
never to attack Nabata?|

\s[5]
......|

\s[2]
But you have so much wealth...|/n
Why can you not promise?|

\s[5]
...Things can happen even/n
without the king's orders.|

\s[2]
What does that mean...?|

\s[5]
Etruria is a huge country supported by/n
various families of nobility.|/n
Not all nobles are kind at heart.|/n
If such nobles take over the court,/n
there is nothing the king or I can do.|

\s[2]
But what is there to gain/n
in a desert like Nabata?|

\s[5]
It is not about gain...|/n
They simply want to show their power.|/n
They do not feel their worth unless/n
they have someone to step on.|/n
I hear that the people in the West/n
suffered from similar power abuse.|

\s[2]
......|

## Igrene x Douglas A
\f[2|Igrene]\f[5|Douglas]
\s[5]
Igrene.|

\s[2]
What is it,/n
Lord Douglas?|

\s[5]
...|/n
I said this before,/n
but as an Etrurian General,/n
I cannot promise you what you ask.|

\s[2]
......|

\s[5]
However, I will do my best to/n
fulfill your request.|/n
I shall spread the word that among the/n
heroes who rescued the king were warriors/n
from Nabata.|/n
I shall persuade the nobles never/n
to disturb your peace in Arcadia.|

\s[2]
...I shall remember those words.|/n
I suppose that is all I can ask of/n
you now.|

\s[5]
Forgive me.|
