Abel: ...Huh? They’re not here?

Evan: Maybe they also went to collect saltpetre?

Volker: No, I doubt it.

Volker: The sulfur necessary to confect explosives… It has certainly been decreasing in volume for a little while.

Burgess: Have they already created new ones?

Volker: Presumably… However, because the amount of saltpetre is important—

[EXPLOSIONS]

Flost: Explosions!?

Burgess: Outside!

Flost: Did they come from here?

Burgess: No… I think those bombs just then were definitely their doing, but…

Volker: Burgess. This neighborhood—

[EXPLOSION]

Dolly: Waah!?

Flost: What’s the meaning of this!?

Dolly: Shit, let’s hurry and get out of here!

[EXPLOSION]

Flost: Tsk—!

Evan: There’s no way to escape…?

Abel: What the heck do you mean!? Why is this—!?

Volker: Do not make any wrong move. We do not know where the explosives are buried.

Dolly: Don’t say such stupid things! We need to get out of here as soon as—

Volker: I am telling you not to move. This is not about the explosives alone.

[BEAST CRY]

Dolly: Wha—!?

Volker: In this area… beasts in large numbers form a dangerous barricade.

[BATTLE]

Evan: They really lured them out, huh…

Burgess: You’re mistaken! Trueno and Wind would never do something like—!

[EXPLOSION]

Burgess: AARGH!

Flost: Face reality, Burgess. We are being backed into a corner by the traps they laid out, and nothing you say will change that.

Burgess: But—!

[EXPLOSIONS]

Dolly: What is it this time!?

Abel: The place’s… on fire?

Volker: The fuel has presumably been ignited. It is almost like… a wall of flames…

[BEAST CRY]

Dolly: Here they are again!

Evan: And quite a number of them, at that…

Flost: ...Luring them out, you say...? With that fiery wall…

[BEAST CRY]
