Ian: Hey! How is Musashi doing!?
Burgess: He suffered many wounds, but none of them were fatal. It’s a miracle we managed to deal with that beast.
Burgess: We couldn’t salvage his prosthetic leg, though…
Ian: It’s alright. I’m just glad you saved his life. Thank you, everyone.
Burgess: It’s Krone you should be thanking. It’s his bow and arrow that saved you two.

Burgess: It’s Krone you should be thanking. It’s his bow and arrow that saved you two.
Krone: Pfeh…
Ian: Krone! Just then, you were really… It’s thanks to you that we were able to save Musashi.
Ian: I’m sorry about all this… and everything else...
Krone: Don’t say sorry! It’s not like I was trying to save that pervert, anyway.
Krone: I just… wanted to give that massive piece of shit a good beating, ‘s all.
Ian: I see… You did save us in the process, though. I’m so sorry for causing so much trouble…
Krone: I told you, don’t fucking apologize!
Ian: Krone! Just then, you were really… It’s thanks to you that we were able to save Musashi.
Ian: I’m sorry about all this… and everything else...
Krone: Don’t say sorry! It’s not like I was trying to save that pervert, anyway.

Ian: I see… You did save us in the process, though. I’m so sorry for causing so much trouble…
Krone: I told you, don’t fucking apologize!
Dolly: Hey! Musashi regained his consciousn― Er, are you two fighting?
Burgess: They’re not fighting. Right, Krone?
Krone: Shut up… Just hurry up and go check on him, Ian.
Ian: Yeah, I will. Thank you, Krone.
Krone: Geh…
Burgess: Good job.
Krone: H-Huh!? I JUST told you to shut the fuck up!
Krone: Ahh, this whole ordeal’s left me fucking exhausted. I’m gonna hit the hay.
Burgess: They’re not fighting. Right, Krone?
Krone: Shut up… Just hurry up and go check on him, Ian.
Ian: Yeah, I will. Thank you, Krone.
Krone: Geh…
Burgess: Good job.
Krone: H-Huh!? I JUST told you to shut the fuck up!
Krone: Ahh, this whole ordeal’s left me fucking exhausted. I’m gonna hit the hay.
Dolly: Wha…? What’s going on? Why is Krone angry?
Burgess: I don’t think he’s angry. Anyway, we should go visit Musashi, as well.
Dolly: Huh…? Y-Yessir…
Burgess: I don’t think he’s angry. Anyway, we should go visit Musashi, as well.
Dolly: Huh…? Y-Yessir…
Musashi: Oh, Ian…
Ian: Musashi! Can you talk?
Musashi: Yes, it’s not a problem. More importantly, Ian, are you alright?
Ian: Me? I’m alright, as you can see. But… why did you…?
Ian: Just a little… Just a little longer and you would’ve died!
Musashi: ...I’ve… always wanted to become one with the beasts.
Musashi: And I’d thought… Finally, finally, my wish would come true…
Ian: ...Become one with the beasts? So… you mean to say…
Musashi: I’ve always been prepared to sacrifice even my very life for that purpose…
Ian: I’d never allow you to do something like that! I’m… not letting you die on me.
Ian: Not you, not Krone, and not Joker, either! I will never allow you to let yourselves die...!!
Musashi: Ian… Fufu… That wish sounds equally as selfish to me.
Musashi: Although… Perhaps not dying in that state of bliss… that state of excitement, might ultimately have been my fate.
Ian: Musashi…
Musashi: There’s no need to worry, I won’t do something like that anymore… That aside, what is this strange feeling?
Ian: Strange feeling? Are you feeling under the weather, maybe?
Musashi: No… It might just be… a little bit of regret.
Ian: Musashi! Can you talk?
Musashi: Yes, it’s not a problem. More importantly, Ian, are you alright?
Ian: Me? I’m alright, as you can see. But… why did you…?
Ian: Just a little… Just a little longer and you would’ve died!

Musashi: No… It might just be… a little bit of regret.
Burgess: ...Are you almost done talking?
Abel: Oh! Looks like you two are a-okay! That’s a relief…
Dolly: Didn’t Musashi break his prosthetic, though? If so, he can’t walk anymore for a while…
Musashi: Oh, I’ve used replacements before. It will restrict my movement a little bit, but it’s not a big problem.
Abel: Oh! Looks like you two are a-okay! That’s a relief…
Dolly: Didn’t Musashi break his prosthetic, though? If so, he can’t walk anymore for a while…
Musashi: Oh, I’ve used replacements before. It will restrict my movement a little bit, but it’s not a big problem.
Burgess: Seems like Ian got to hear the reason behind Musashi’s actions.
Burgess: We should drop the subject, too.
Gerard: Initially I was planning on teaching him a lesson, but… That can wait until after he’s healed.
Burgess: We should drop the subject, too.
Gerard: Initially I was planning on teaching him a lesson, but… That can wait until after he’s healed.
Dolly: So, what are we going to do from here on out? The place is crawling with beasts.
Gerard: We should leave those be. I wouldn’t dare get involved with that.
Gerard: We should leave those be. I wouldn’t dare get involved with that.
Musashi: The area with the pillar… what state is it in?
Burgess: We sent Trueno and Wind to investigate it, but it’s not much different from our last visit there.
Burgess: Although… The amount of beasts is increasing little by little, and they’re seemingly getting more violent on top of that.
Burgess: It seems like they’re destroying whatever building is within the area.
Abel: Huh!? That’s bad! Shouldn’t we do somethin’ about that?
Dolly: We should turn off the electricity! If we do that, they’ll go back to where they came from!
Burgess: We can’t. They’re gathering around the streetlights at the power plant’s site, as well.
Burgess: If we approach without thinking, we’ll have to fight a very large amount of beasts, even if they’re at a distance.
Dolly: Are you serious… But we didn’t even get the chance to look for batteries there yet…

Musashi: Uhm… Everyone, if I may…
Burgess: What’s wrong, Musashi?
Musashi: This may sound strange, but… If there is a possibility to defeat Vishnu, then I think we should give that a go.
Flost: That gigantic beast?
Burgess: With that many other beasts around, defeating something that large would be very difficult…
Burgess: But it's up to you, Musashi. Judging by what you're saying, it sounds like you've got something in mind.
Musashi: Indeed… While I was fighting Vishnu, I’d noticed something.
Musashi: While its entire body is covered with firm metal, its neck remains bare.
Musashi: If we attack that spot using our Berserk transformation, we might be able to destroy it.
Burgess: I see… Attacking its weak spot, huh. The basics of battle.
Musashi: Although it will, of course, be difficult to fight if we don’t get close enough.
Burgess: First we’ll need to get rid of the beasts surrounding Vishnu. Then, we’ll need a team that provokes it to attack from a long distance.
Burgess: And lastly, we’ll need a team to deliver the finishing blow. If we split ourselves up like that, I guess we can fight it.

Abel: That means we’ll definitely beat that thing, right? Heck yeah!
Musashi: ...To think you were able to set up a strategy involving this many people so quickly… I’d expected no less of you, Burgess.
Burgess: Haha. We can’t afford to be careless now, can we? Since I’m sure you’ll join the team that delivers the final strike.
Ian: Wh―! Absolutely not! Musashi isn’t ready yet! He was unconscious up until only a moment ago…
Burgess: His injuries aren’t that bad, are they? Besides, if we want to accurately hit Vishnu’s weak spot, we’ll need his knowledge.
Musashi: I’ll gladly participate.
Dolly: We’ll be in trouble if he wanders off during the fight, though…
Burgess: Haha. We can’t afford to be careless now, can we? Since I’m sure you’ll join the team that delivers the final strike.

Musashi: I’ll gladly participate.
Dolly: We’ll be in trouble if he wanders off during the fight, though…
Burgess: Alright, then we’ll divide the teams now. Let’s gather everyone.
Gerard: I object! Why do I need to take care of the small fry, while Abel gets to fight Vishnu!?
Burgess: Now, now, Gerard, calm down. With that many beasts around, fighting will be harder for the others.
Burgess: Without someone with a wide field of vision and the ability to make quick decisions and support the other two teams, we won’t be able to make this work.
Gerard: Hm. The ability to make quick decisions, huh… That’s definitely important when there are so many of them... Fine. I’ll leave it to you.

Abel: We’re countin’ on you, Gerard!
Gerard: Shut your mouth!! ...You better do your best, too.
Gerard: Shut your mouth!! ...You better do your best, too.
Burgess: Speaking of which… Dolly, Flost, and Evan will join Gerard’s group.
Burgess: My group will function as decoys. Trueno, Wind, Volker, I’m counting on you.
Burgess: We will disperse and provoke Vishnu. Abel and Musashi’s group will attack it while it’s distracted.
Flost: It’s a very rough strategy. Will we be okay?
Burgess: If we focus on the minute details too much, we’ll get distracted and fail, that’s why.
Burgess: We’ll only agree on the fundamentals. After that, everyone is allowed to do as they see fit.
Evan: That might actually help, yeah.

Evan: That might actually help, yeah.
Ian: Alright, understood. Musashi, Krone, Joker, do you agree with this?
Musashi: Yes. I find this to be a good arrangement.
Krone: There’s nothing I can do about it, so I’m coming with you.
Joker: ...Do I have to join?
Krone: Fucking obviously! At a time like this? You gotta.
Joker: ...Okay.
Musashi: Yes. I find this to be a good arrangement.
Krone: There’s nothing I can do about it, so I’m coming with you.
Joker: ...Do I have to join?
Krone: Fucking obviously! At a time like this? You gotta.
Joker: ...Okay.
Burgess: Alright. We’ll carry the plan out tomorrow! Rest plenty tonight, everyone.
Dolly: Woahh… haha… That’s a lot of beasts. This might be a problem.
Gerard: This isn’t a problem at all! Let’s get rid of these as quickly as possible, and head for Vishnu!
Gerard: This isn’t a problem at all! Let’s get rid of these as quickly as possible, and head for Vishnu!
