Abel: Are you all safe!?
Dolly: …Yeah, somehow. Seems like the others are all fine too. Jeez, that was tough.
Dolly: …Yeah, somehow. Seems like the others are all fine too. Jeez, that was tough.
Gerard: Are you alright, Hansel?
Hansel: …Yeah, thanks.
Hansel: …Yeah, thanks.
Ian: What on earth was up with those beasts? I’ve never seen so many of them gathered in a single place.
Burgess: Oddly enough, it’s thanks to them gathering that we were able to save ourselves by breaking through and clearing the way.
Musashi: Indeed. Did something similar happen with the beasts in other areas?
Flost: No, this is the first time I’m seeing that many beasts gathered in one place, as well.
Musashi: …That would mean this behavior is characteristic of the beasts in this specific area, wouldn’t it?
Burgess: Oddly enough, it’s thanks to them gathering that we were able to save ourselves by breaking through and clearing the way.
Musashi: Indeed. Did something similar happen with the beasts in other areas?
Flost: No, this is the first time I’m seeing that many beasts gathered in one place, as well.
Musashi: …That would mean this behavior is characteristic of the beasts in this specific area, wouldn’t it?
Evan: They were all flocking together under the streetlights. Perhaps they like bright places?
Cadena: I see… We’d rather be in bright places than dark places too, after all!
Musashi: ...You might be correct.
Burgess: Hm?
Cadena: I see… We’d rather be in bright places than dark places too, after all!
Musashi: ...You might be correct.
Burgess: Hm?
Musashi: Do you remember when we first met, after that huge explosion?
Volker: Yes, it was an extremely powerful explosion.
Wind: Because we used all of our explosives.
Musashi: A very intense light akin to that of a flame flared up at the same time the explosion’s noise resounded.
Musashi: The beasts showed up immediately after that, didn’t they? They might be attracted to light.
Dolly: To light? Are they different from the beasts in our areas…?
Flost: Hm. They might have different characteristics, depending on the area.
Burgess: Attracted to light… If that’s true, we could perhaps control the beasts’ movements using the streetlights.
Musashi: Yes, indeed. Let’s experiment at once!
Volker: Yes, it was an extremely powerful explosion.
Wind: Because we used all of our explosives.
Musashi: A very intense light akin to that of a flame flared up at the same time the explosion’s noise resounded.
Musashi: The beasts showed up immediately after that, didn’t they? They might be attracted to light.
Dolly: To light? Are they different from the beasts in our areas…?
Flost: Hm. They might have different characteristics, depending on the area.
Burgess: Attracted to light… If that’s true, we could perhaps control the beasts’ movements using the streetlights.
Musashi: Yes, indeed. Let’s experiment at once!
Dolly: Eh? By experiment, you… you don’t mean…
Musashi: I do. Let’s search for a few beasts, and find out whether or not they’re really attracted to light!
Dolly: Are you serious… Are you sane?
Burgess: It’s definitely dangerous, but it’s worth a try. We might understand their behavior better.
Musashi: Well then, let’s begin the search at once. Considering the time… let’s move elsewhere.
Musashi: I do. Let’s search for a few beasts, and find out whether or not they’re really attracted to light!
Dolly: Are you serious… Are you sane?
Burgess: It’s definitely dangerous, but it’s worth a try. We might understand their behavior better.
Musashi: Well then, let’s begin the search at once. Considering the time… let’s move elsewhere.

Cadena: There are beasts a little ways from here!
Musashi: Thank you very much. Let’s lure them here at once!
Musashi: Thank you very much. Let’s lure them here at once!
Burgess: Cadena, that thing from earlier that lights up… Give it to Musashi.
Cadena: Ah, this? Sure… Don’t break it, okay?
Musashi: I won’t. Well then, using the light like this…
Cadena: Ah, this? Sure… Don’t break it, okay?
Musashi: I won’t. Well then, using the light like this…
Volker: I see. He is gathering materials that spread light efficiently, and installing them…
Flost: The light is stronger than before, too.
Flost: The light is stronger than before, too.
Musashi: Here we go... Let’s hide immediately. If they come here, then the experiment is a success.
Abel: Whoa, my heart’s beatin’ really fast!
[BEAST CRY]
Musashi: They’re here! They reacted to the light and came!
Burgess: Yeah, they’re without a doubt heading towards the light, that much is clear.
Musashi: Indeed, and now…
Dolly: Hey, we reached our goal, didn’t we!? Why aren’t you running away!?
Musashi: Please wait. I don’t know why, but they’re acting violently, for some reason.
Burgess: Yeah, they’re without a doubt heading towards the light, that much is clear.
Musashi: Indeed, and now…
Dolly: Hey, we reached our goal, didn’t we!? Why aren’t you running away!?
Musashi: Please wait. I don’t know why, but they’re acting violently, for some reason.
[BEAST CRY]
Ian: That’s right, their movements are different from usual!
Musashi: I’m certain I’ve never seen that kind of movement before. Perhaps it’s because of the light…
Abel: Now that you say it, I had a feelin’ that the beasts from earlier seemed kinda upset too…
Dolly: Then it’s even more dangerous! We need to hurry and leave!
Musashi: No, this is the time to check whether or not their strength has changed!
Ian: What the!? H-Hey! Musashi, stop!
Musashi: I’m certain I’ve never seen that kind of movement before. Perhaps it’s because of the light…
Abel: Now that you say it, I had a feelin’ that the beasts from earlier seemed kinda upset too…
Dolly: Then it’s even more dangerous! We need to hurry and leave!
Musashi: No, this is the time to check whether or not their strength has changed!
Ian: What the!? H-Hey! Musashi, stop!
Krone: Ian, you dumbass! Don’t go after him!
Burgess: …We have no choice left, then. Let’s do this together!
[BATTLE]

Musashi: They’ve become slightly more brutal… heheheh, interesting.
Abel: H-Hey, Musashi…
Gerard: What the hell were you thinking, getting everyone caught up in danger!?
Musashi: Now, to restore the electricity, and after that…
Abel: H-Hey, Musashi…
Gerard: What the hell were you thinking, getting everyone caught up in danger!?
Musashi: Now, to restore the electricity, and after that…
Burgess: It’s no good, he’s not listening. Ian, is he alright?
Ian: …Let’s head back to the base first. I… am truly sorry about Musashi.
Abel: Hey, you don’t have to apologize for that…
Dolly: Anyway, let’s head back quickly. You can explain the details once we’re back at the hideout.
Ian: …Let’s head back to the base first. I… am truly sorry about Musashi.
Abel: Hey, you don’t have to apologize for that…
Dolly: Anyway, let’s head back quickly. You can explain the details once we’re back at the hideout.
Cadena: Oh! The lighty thing, the lighty thing~ I almost forgot about you!
