Niko: Fuck… ah… shit, it hurts… You really… hit hard…
Joker: …It’s… you… who started hitting real hard…
Niko: Shut up… you fucking moron…
Joker: The only moron here… is you… you’re the idiot…
Niko: I told you to shut it… asshole…
Niko: …Man… you sure can punch and scream a good deal, huh?
Niko: So just do it… faster.
Joker: …Starting next time, then?

Krone: Tsk. Aahh, he’s fucking done it.
Ian: Hm? What’s wrong, Krone?
Krone: He stole my moment from me, didn’t he? Doing and saying everything I wanted to make that asshole go through…
Krone: It’s fucking foolish…
Ian: Hahaha! Well, well, don’t get so sulky because your role was taken from you, alright?
Krone: W-Who’s fucking sulking!?
Ian: Hm? What’s wrong, Krone?

Orochi: …Niko.
Niko: …Oh, Orochi…
Orochi: Feeling better?
Niko: …Hm, kinda.
Orochi: I see… I’m glad. There’s something important I’d like to talk about for a moment.
Orochi: What are we gonna do from now on…?
Niko: Huh? From… now on…?
Orochi: We’ve always been obsessed with beating Cetus… with avenging them…
Orochi: I always thought I’d die here… yet here we are, you and I, both alive.
Orochi: Hey… what shall we do from now on? Remain by their graves? Or…
Niko: Or...
Niko: …Oh, Orochi…
Orochi: Feeling better?
Niko: …Hm, kinda.

[WIND BLOWING]
Niko, Orochi: Oh!?


Niko: …Did you hear that?
Orochi: Yeah, I did.
Niko: Alright… Hey, Joker.
Orochi: Yeah, I did.
Niko: Alright… Hey, Joker.
Joker: …What?
Niko: Can you help me for a bit?
Niko: Can you help me for a bit?
Joker: …Hey, Setsu. Can we… talk for a bit?
Joker: My fri… uh… friends, the two of them, they said they want to tag along…
Joker: …Are you okay?
Joker: …Are you okay?
> Of course.
Joker: ...Thanks.
Niko: Once again… nice to meet you, Setsu.
Orochi: We’ll do our best to be useful too.
Niko: Once again… nice to meet you, Setsu.
Orochi: We’ll do our best to be useful too.
[LIGHT FLASHING]
Burgess: …Well, now that this is all settled, can I take over for a bit? It’s about our next destination.
Dolly: Next destination? I mean, we haven’t decided yet, so… do you have any ideas?
Burgess: I’m not sure if we’ve got any ideas yet, but… Ah, it’ll be faster to ask the guy directly. Hey!
Dolly: Next destination? I mean, we haven’t decided yet, so… do you have any ideas?
Burgess: I’m not sure if we’ve got any ideas yet, but… Ah, it’ll be faster to ask the guy directly. Hey!
[SERO SHOWS UP]
Joker: Oh!? You’re…
Sero: Y-You saved me earlier! Thank you! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
Sero: Anyway, I… I’m sorry for asking more of you after you saved me, but…
Sero: Could you please take me to “Paradise”!?
Sero: Y-You saved me earlier! Thank you! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
Sero: Anyway, I… I’m sorry for asking more of you after you saved me, but…
Sero: Could you please take me to “Paradise”!?
Gerard: …Paradise?
Burgess: Yeah, there’s a rumor a place like that exists. A place with plenty of water and food, that isn’t targeted by beasts either…
Burgess: Yeah, there’s a rumor a place like that exists. A place with plenty of water and food, that isn’t targeted by beasts either…
Sero: T-That’s right! It’s a dream-like place, where even weak rotun like me can live…
Gerard: Wait… Do you really think such a place exists?
Sero: Huh?
Gerard: From what I know, it’s highly unlikely such a place exists. It’s common for rumors like that to spread in Basral, however.
Gerard: A peaceful place with plenty of food and water… Burgess, you’ve heard something similar yourself, haven’t you?
Burgess: Yeah, I’ve definitely heard about that before. Still, isn’t it poor judgment to disregard it as a mere rumor?
Gerard: Wait… Do you really think such a place exists?
Sero: Huh?
Gerard: From what I know, it’s highly unlikely such a place exists. It’s common for rumors like that to spread in Basral, however.
Gerard: A peaceful place with plenty of food and water… Burgess, you’ve heard something similar yourself, haven’t you?
Burgess: Yeah, I’ve definitely heard about that before. Still, isn’t it poor judgment to disregard it as a mere rumor?
Flost: …There’s not enough proof for me to believe it. Hey, Evan, what do you think?
Evan: Hmm~ Iunno. My principle in life is just to believe nothing’s impossible, y’know?
Abel: I dunno if it exists, but if this guy needs help, I wanna help him, so I wanna bring him there!
Dolly: Hey, don’t say things like that. It’s not about this guy…
Evan: Hmm~ Iunno. My principle in life is just to believe nothing’s impossible, y’know?
Abel: I dunno if it exists, but if this guy needs help, I wanna help him, so I wanna bring him there!
Dolly: Hey, don’t say things like that. It’s not about this guy…
Joker: …I want us to bring him there too.
Dolly: E-Eh!?
Dolly: E-Eh!?
Sero: You…
Joker: Sorry… for earlier. I regret saying those awful things to you…
Krone: What, you know him?
Joker: …Kind of.
Joker: Sorry… for earlier. I regret saying those awful things to you…
Krone: What, you know him?
Joker: …Kind of.
Sero: No, I’m sorry for getting riled up too… what you said might be right.
Sero: Still, I really want to believe in it… “Paradise”... a place where even people like me could live…
Sero: Still, I really want to believe in it… “Paradise”... a place where even people like me could live…
Orochi: …I don’t know if “Paradise” exists, but…
Burgess: Hm? What’s wrong, Orochi?
Orochi: Vista told me a story about an odd rotun a long time ago.
Orochi: They would search for water and food and welcome all kinds of different rotun. They wanted to create a safe community.
Sero: T-T-That’s it! That’s “Paradise”!! I heard that it all started because of a single rotun!
Burgess: Hm? What’s wrong, Orochi?
Orochi: Vista told me a story about an odd rotun a long time ago.
Orochi: They would search for water and food and welcome all kinds of different rotun. They wanted to create a safe community.
Sero: T-T-That’s it! That’s “Paradise”!! I heard that it all started because of a single rotun!
Hansel: Wow… If such a rotun exists, I’d like to meet them.
Gerard: …Tsk, I don’t know what to do now.
Flost: …Are we set?
Evan: I think so, since Gerard’s so quick to give in to Hansel’s wishes~
Gerard: W-Who’s quick to give in!? Take that back, you smug bastard!
Evan: Aha~ Yeah, yeah. So, are we set on “Paradise” being our next destination?
Flost: Are you fine with that too, Setsu?
Gerard: …Tsk, I don’t know what to do now.
Flost: …Are we set?
Evan: I think so, since Gerard’s so quick to give in to Hansel’s wishes~
Gerard: W-Who’s quick to give in!? Take that back, you smug bastard!
Evan: Aha~ Yeah, yeah. So, are we set on “Paradise” being our next destination?
Flost: Are you fine with that too, Setsu?
> I’m a bit anxious.
Evan: I mean, I get how you feel. But it’ll be fine, everyone’s here after all.
> I’m looking forward to it.
Evan: Haha, you’ve become so much like Abel. Maybe he’s had some influence on you, huh?
Sero: I know the area around here a bit… I’ll guide you, so please!
Sero: Take me to “Paradise” with you!!
Sero: Take me to “Paradise” with you!!
