???: Huh, wha? Berserk…?
Lapomme: The Berserk Resonance[*1], an ability Setsu possesses, drags Akuta into a full-blown maddened trance.
Lapomme: And because you, an Akuta, can transform, you were able to fight in such a manner.
???: …Akuta? The heck’s that?
Lapomme: Akuta are people amongst you rotun[*2] who possess the ability to transform into Berserkers with outstanding physical strength.
???: Berserker…? Abilities…? Uhhh… I don’t really get it, but…?
Lapomme: …In other words, it means that because of Setsu’s mysterious power, you were able to become stronger, and defeat the monster you fought earlier.
???: Huh!? Then… I gained that power because of this guy…!?

Translation notes:
[*1] The original title more literally translates to “Maniac Resonize”, which sounds pretty epic on its own, but rather awkward within a sentence. We went with Berserk Resonance because it sounds cool.
[*2] “Rotun” is the canonical term used to refer to Basral’s inhabitants. We decided against translating it and instead keeping it like this, but it’s actually commonly written as “garbage” within the original Japanese script, and thus might equal “rotten”. This is funny, because Basral is derived from the word “basural”, which means “garbage dumpster” in Spanish.
