Check the end of the part for TL notes.

Translation under the cut.

Dolly: Weapon this, weapon that… can any of you picture what a weapon needed to beat that gigantic beast could look like?

Cadena: Maybe it’s a super duper huge gun? You fire a shot, and then BOOM! Hasta la beast-a!(*) That kind of thing?

Hansel: Who could even create something like that?

Cadena: Uhhhh, a bunch of guys skilled with guns, I guess…?

Dolly: …We already have enough on our plate with just Abel saying stuff without thinking…

Abel: Huh, what do you mean by that?

Orochi: …Hey, stop here for a moment.

Dolly: Hm? What’s up?

Orochi: It’s gonna collapse.

Dolly: Huh...?

[SOUND OF BUILDING COLLAPSING]

Dolly: UUWAHH!!?? T-That scared me to death… Hey!! Did the building just fall down for real!?

Niko: I was sure that building wouldn’t be falling down any time soon, though… did Cetus’ route change?

Orochi: Looks like it. I’m gonna check.

Gerard: What’s this “route” you’re talking about? Does it have anything to do with that monster’s behavior?

Orochi: Cetus tends to follow the same route when it prowls around the area. If you know its route, then the odds of encountering it will drop drastically.

Orochi: But every now and again, it changes its patrol route on a whim. Or if it’s decided on something.

Dolly: Huh, I see. What’s the link between that and the destroyed building, though?

Niko: ‘s easy to connect the dots. That destroyed building’s one of Cetus’ footprints.

Dolly: ...Eh?
Orochi: Cetus doesn’t make detours. It continues, destroying any and all obstacles in its path.

Orochi: That’s why a lot of buildings collapse after its route changes. Watch your step, everyone.

Burgess: It behaves like that purely because of its gigantic size, huh… It truly is a monster...

Niko: Meh, it’d be a lot worse if it could move around freely. If it were to attack you head-on, you’d be fucking dead for sure, no matter what you do.

Orochi: Thinking about it, you guys were lucky.

Orochi: You held out well against Cetus up until we rushed in.

Abel: We weren’t just holdin’ on, we were fightin’ it!

Niko: Huh? Fighting it?

Cadena: Oh, didn’t we tell you? We can fight the beasts!

Niko: …These people are a bunch of idiots.

Cadena: Huh!? You’re mean~!

Niko: If you’re gonna lie to my face, you should do a better job. I’ve never heard of someone who can fight the beasts head-on.

Cadena: But we’re not lying! If we were, we would have died immediately back then, y’know?

Niko: You could have just survived because you were lucky, though?

Cadena: You’re wrong! We were fighting it! We can fight the beasts! Why don’t you believe us~!?

Evan: We can just make him believe us, then.

Cadena: ...Huh?

Evan: ‘Cause it looks like something’s coming right on time.

[BEAST CRY]

Niko: Tsk… just when we don’t have the car! Let’s scram, Orochi!

Orochi: Gotch― H-Hey!

Cadena: Aaaalright, here we go~!

Niko: Y-You’re gonna fight them...? Are you serious!?

Abel: We already told ya we were serious, didn’t we? Just watch, we’ll give you a taste of our power!

[BATTLE]

Orochi: …They… they really… beat them... While facing them directly, too…

Niko: …I can’t believe this…

Cadena: See, we’re not liars~!

Hansel: It’s all thanks to Setsu, though…

Niko: Amazing… is this for real…?

Orochi: This is… Can you beat any kind of beast with that?

Cadena: Of course!

Flost: ...No, we can’t.

Cadena: Ah!?

Flost: This power definitely isn’t a limitless “almighty gift”.

Flost: We could easily die if we’re not powerful enough. We couldn’t even get past Cetus, in fact.

Cadena: Well… You have a point…

Flost: That’s precisely why we couldn’t believe the two of you earlier. Even with our power, you’d be no match for this foe, so...

Flost: …How exactly were you planning to defeat it?

Niko: ...Told you earlier, didn’t we? Wits and resourcefulness. With that, we don’t need any special power.

Orochi: We’re almost there. We’ll explain everything once we get there. Let’s go.

Translation notes:

(*): We’re not actually sorry about that one.
