Cadena: Gerard, why didn’t you help them? You could have tried listening to them a little more…
Gerard: Hmph.
Hansel: …Cadena, on whose side are you? Are you supporting people Gerard can’t trust?
Cadena: No, that’s not what I mean… if what they told us earlier is true, then this could be really bad.
Hansel: Gerard thinks it’s not true, right? …Let’s drop the subject already.
Cadena: B-But…!
Gerard: Hmph.
Hansel: …Cadena, on whose side are you? Are you supporting people Gerard can’t trust?
Cadena: No, that’s not what I mean… if what they told us earlier is true, then this could be really bad.
Hansel: Gerard thinks it’s not true, right? …Let’s drop the subject already.
Cadena: B-But…!
Dolly: Hey, Gerard!
Dolly: …Huh, perhaps he didn’t hear me?
Dolly: Hey, Ger—
Gerard: Tsk… they came back?
Gerard: Tsk… they came back?
Gerard: …What do you want? I was certain we were done talking.
Dolly: We’ve left Abel behind. If possible, we'd like to talk to you again, just the three of us.
Dolly: We’ve left Abel behind. If possible, we'd like to talk to you again, just the three of us.
Cadena: Hey, Gerard… They bothered coming back, so talking to them...
Gerard: …Fine.
Gerard: …Fine.
Dolly: So, Gerard. How about reconsidering?
Dolly: We hold Setsu’s power. The more allies we have, the more our chance of defeating Nandin will increase.
Gerard: I understand that...
Dolly: ! Then—
Gerard: However, my answer won’t change. This is our area. We don’t feel like assisting you.
Dolly: Huh!? B-But that’s weird, isn’t it!? If you want to do something, then isn’t it better to cooperate with—
Cadena: Yeah, the power Dolly is talking about really is incredible! I saw it when they beat a horde of beasts!
Gerard: Hmph… While that may be true, is there a guarantee you can defeat Nandin?
Cadena: Uh…?
Dolly: We hold Setsu’s power. The more allies we have, the more our chance of defeating Nandin will increase.
Gerard: I understand that...
Dolly: ! Then—
Gerard: However, my answer won’t change. This is our area. We don’t feel like assisting you.
Dolly: Huh!? B-But that’s weird, isn’t it!? If you want to do something, then isn’t it better to cooperate with—
Cadena: Yeah, the power Dolly is talking about really is incredible! I saw it when they beat a horde of beasts!
Gerard: Hmph… While that may be true, is there a guarantee you can defeat Nandin?
Cadena: Uh…?
Gerard: If you’re not sure of yourself, then there is no point in going along with your story. Even with the possibility that somebody might die, I’d rather operate by myself.
Gerard: From what I’ve heard, your victory against Vaha in your area was a close call… wasn’t it?
Gerard: It’s too risky to bet our lives on something like that, in my opinion.
Dolly: I get what you’re saying, but—
Gerard: Well then, this discussion is over for good now. I have no intention of assisting you. Give up.
Gerard: From what I’ve heard, your victory against Vaha in your area was a close call… wasn’t it?
Gerard: It’s too risky to bet our lives on something like that, in my opinion.
Dolly: I get what you’re saying, but—

Evan: Hmmm, is that so… Got it. Dolly, let’s go back, shall we?
Cadena: Ah, wait—
Evan: Hm? What’s up?
Cadena: …Ah, uh… nevermind…
Evan: Hm? What’s up?
Cadena: …Ah, uh… nevermind…

Evan: He listened better than expected, didn’t he?
Dolly: Yeah, but that doesn’t change the fact we went there in vain.
Evan: Hey, ho, in this situation, the situation will be the same, even if you were to persist.
Evan: Let’s join Abel and the others first, alright?
Dolly: Yeah, let’s hurry, since we don’t have much time.
Dolly: Yeah, but that doesn’t change the fact we went there in vain.
Evan: Hey, ho, in this situation, the situation will be the same, even if you were to persist.
Evan: Let’s join Abel and the others first, alright?
Dolly: Yeah, let’s hurry, since we don’t have much time.
Evan: Cadena seemed very lost, which is enough for me to know that the possibility of him cooperating isn’t entirely zero.
