Marcus
## Lance x Marcus C
\f[2|Lance]\f[5|Marcus]
\s[5]
Lance, have you gotten used to\n
the Pherae family yet?|

\s[2]
Yes, Sir Marcus.|\n
Everyone has been very good\n
to me, who is an outsider...|

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

\s[2]
You have been very caring as\n
well, Sir Marcus.|

\s[5]
Well, we must have you work\n
especially hard.|

\s[2]
Especially?|

\s[5]
You have something that the other\n
knights do not.|

\s[2]
I do...?|

\s[5]
Yes.|\n
And that will help Master Roy\n
in the future.|

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

## Lance x Marcus B
\f[2|Lance]\f[5|Marcus]
\s[2]
Marcus.|

\s[5]
Yes, Lance?|

\s[2]
You said before that I had something\n
that the other knights do not.|

\s[5]
That I did.|

\s[2]
However, I cannot see what that\n
something is.|\n
I am but an ordinary knight.|\n
I think you see more in me than\n
there actually is.|

\s[5]
I think not.|

\s[2]
But I was in a different band of knights\n
up until recently, so I have no idea what\n
I can do for Master Roy...|

\s[5]
There, you have it.|

\s[2]
Huh?|

\s[5]
You have experience in other areas.|\n
The others do not.|

\s[2]
Oh...|

\s[5]
Master Roy will take Pherae's throne\n
in the future.|\n
And if only Pheraens are around him,\n
he will grow to be a person with\n
limited views.|\n
We need someone like you who knows\n
knows other parts of the world.|

\s[2]
Will my experience...|\n
be of use?|

\s[5]
You must make it so.|\n
Master Roy must grow to be an individual\n
with diverse beliefs.|

## Lance x Marcus A
\f[2|Lance]\f[5|Marcus]
\s[5]
Lance.|

\s[2]
Ah, Sir Marcus.|

\s[5]
Master Roy was telling me the other day\n
that you were telling him stories of\n
other parts of the continent.|

\s[2]
If my experience can be of use to Master\n
Roy, then I shall do my best to teach him.|

\s[5]
Good.|\n
Well, it seems that I can now\n
Retire without any worries.|

\s[2]
Sir Marcus, what are you saying?|\n
We still have much to learn from you.|

\s[5]
Not if we have you.|\n
You can take my place once\n
I am gone.|

\s[2]
Me?|\n
But I am not a native of Pherae...|

\s[5]
Are you still worrying yourself over\n
matters like that?|\n
Master Roy certainly isn't.|

\s[2]
...All right, then I shall take your\n
place when the time comes.|\n
But that is in the far future.|\n
You are still well, and you must\n
still be our example.|

\s[5]
Well, maybe I can.|\n
You never know.|

Lot
## Lance x Lot C
\f[2|Lance]\f[5|Lot]
\s[2]
You are Lott, the mercenary.|\n
An axe-fighter with much endurance.|

\s[5]
You...You're Lance.|

\s[2]
You seemed to have a troubled\n
look on your face.|

\s[5]
Oh...|\n
I was just thinking some things over.|\n
Actually, this is perfect.|\n
Let me ask you something.|

\s[2]
If it is something within my\n
meager knowledge.|

\s[5]
All right, axes are weak against\n
swords.|\n
This is just common sense.|\n
What I'm wondering about is why\n
it became like that.|\n
I just don't get the evidence\n
or physics behind it.|\n
That's what I was thinking about.|

\s[2]
I see.|\n
Sometime earlier, I asked the same\n
exact question as you.|\n
I think I've found the answer after\n
I looked through several books on\n
war strategy.|

\s[5]
So is it...|\n
the weapon's weight?|

\s[2]
Exactly.|\n
Because all weapons are designed bearing\n
in mind that humans will be wielding them,\n
it is almost inevitable that minor flaws\n
and weaknesses would not appear.|

\s[5]
So...|\n
It's impossible for a weapon\n
to just make you really strong.|

\s[2]
Right.|\n
In the past, many kinds of weapons\n
were made, and disappeared.|\n
Among them, the sword, axe, and\n
spear remained, thus creating what\n
is commonly known as the weapon\n
triangle.|

\s[5]
I see.|\n
But wait, what about weapons like\n
the Swordreaver?|

\s[2]
Well, that brings us to a\n
whole different dimension.|\n
So...|

\s[5]
..,Ah, I see...|\n
Then what about...|

## Lance x Lot B
\f[2|Lance]\f[5|Lot]
\s[2]
Knight to F6.|

\s[5]
Armor Knight to E3.|

\s[2]
Pegasus Knight to D1.|

\s[5]
Er...|\n
Archer to B1.|

\s[2]
Swordmaster to F1.|\n
Check.|

\s[5]
.....|\n
...You win.|

\s[2]
So it seems.|

\s[5]
...Do you think the mistake was when\n
I moved that ballista 6 turns ago?|

\s[2]
Yes, I think so.|\n
Where did you learn how to play?|\n
I learned it as one of the\n
requirements of a knight.|

\s[5]
There's an old war veteran living\n
where I come from.|\n
I couldn't find anyone to play in\n
the mercenary groups.|\n
But up against those who can play, it\n
looks like I don't stand a chance.|

\s[2]
Well, if you can point our your\n
mistakes, that shows you have skill.|\n
I played with Alan the other day,\n
but it was over in 2 turns.|

## Lance x Lot A
\f[2|Lance]\f[5|Lot]
\s[5]
How do you see this battle?|

\s[2]
What do you mean?|

\s[5]
Do you think we stand\n
a chance of winning?|

\s[2]
......|\n
I honestly don't know.|\n
Well, we are outnumbered severely.|\n
The enemy can afford to send out new\n
troops all the time, while we have\n
to be careful about losing even\n
one troop.|

\s[5]
Yeah...|\n
Our starting conditions are just\n
so different.|

\s[2]
But Master Roy sometimes thinks of plans\n
that are beyond my petty thoughts.|\n
He has done miraculously well\n
in the battles so far.|\n
Under his direction, I feel like\n
we could never lose.|\n
Master Roy will surely lead\n
us to victory.|

\s[5]
I see...|\n
... You're not the one to favor\n
somebody just because he's your master.|\n
So if you say so, it must be true.|\n
Then I better start believing, too...|\n
In our victory, and our leader.|
