Hansel: ...Cadena… why…
Gerard: Are you alright!?
Hansel: …Puff… pant…
Gerard: Hang in there! I’m getting you out of here!
Hansel: …Puff… pant…
Gerard: Hang in there! I’m getting you out of here!
Cadena: Haah…~ We managed to escape somehow…
Hansel: …E-Excuse me… Did you… rescue...
Cadena: Nah, I couldn’t do anything. Sorry about that.
Hansel: N-Not at all… that’s…
Gerard: For crying out loud… Using their comrade as bait so they could run away from a beast, huh… what a pathetic lot.
Hansel: Uhm… At the moment, I have neither food nor water on me… I’ve got nothing to offer you… Uhm…
Gerard: Are you kidding me?
Hansel: Eh…?
Gerard: Is your life so cheap that you’d trade it for food and water? Is that how little value it has?
Cadena: Hold on, Gerard! Can’t you say that a little less harshly?
Cadena: Sorry, this guy’s just trying to say that you shouldn’t waste your life, that’s all.
Hansel: O-Of course… My apologies… Thank you… very much…
Gerard: Good grief, you’re docile, aren’t you… Do you have any idea what could’ve happened?
Gerard: We’re leaving. ...And after that, you can do as you please.
Cadena: Nah, I couldn’t do anything. Sorry about that.
Hansel: N-Not at all… that’s…
Gerard: For crying out loud… Using their comrade as bait so they could run away from a beast, huh… what a pathetic lot.

Gerard: Good grief, you’re docile, aren’t you… Do you have any idea what could’ve happened?
Gerard: We’re leaving. ...And after that, you can do as you please.
Hansel: T-Thank you very much… Well, then I—
Cadena: W-Wait a minute!
Hansel: U-Uhm… What’s the matter?
Cadena: Hey, why don’t you come with us?
Hansel: Pardon me…?
Cadena: Gerard told you to do whatever you wanted, didn’t he? So, if you wanna, you could also come with us.
Hansel: Eh! Isn’t that troublesome f—
Cadena: It’s okay, it’s okay! ...You’re still really hard to understand.
Hansel: ? Difficult to understand?
Cadena: No, no, I’m talking about Gerard! Well? Don’t you wanna come with us?
Hansel: ………
Cadena: You can tell me how you feel.
Hansel: ...Like to come… I would like to come with you...!
Cadena: Yay! It’s decided, then!
Hansel: P-Pleased to make your acquaintance…
Cadena: Oh, that formal way of speech won’t do, y’know? Gerard apparently hates that kind of thing.
Hansel: U-Uhm… well, however... I…
Cadena: See? You’re being formal, formal.(*1)
Hansel: Ugh… Uhm… I’m not strong, and I don’t have any stamina, so… that’s why I’m wondering if I’ll cause you trouble…
Cadena: Well, if we’re talking about shortcomings... I’m stupid, and Gerard is so rough, he’s really bad at conversation, y’know?
Hansel: T-That’s not t—!
Cadena: It might be true, because everyone has flaws.
Cadena: It’d be ridiculous if your own friends were bothered by them.
Gerard: Hey, Cadena! Are you still there!?
Cadena: Ah. C’mon, let’s go. Gerard’s starting to get irritated.
Hansel: But…
Gerard: You too, hurry up! If you don’t get a move on, Cadena won’t, either!
Hansel: Ah…
Cadena: Hey, it’s okay, see? Gerard’s also warmed up to you, so we can be friends from now on!
Hansel: O-Okay…
Cadena: W-Wait a minute!
Hansel: U-Uhm… What’s the matter?
Cadena: Hey, why don’t you come with us?
Hansel: Pardon me…?

Hansel: O-Okay…
Hansel: Even though… you’d said that…
Dolly: Hey, Cadena, where are we going? Your friends are here, aren’t they?
Cadena: Oh, my eyes are really good, so I can see a lot more from very far away.
Flost: In other words, you’re going to climb that building over there?
Cadena: Yeah, I am.
Cadena: Oh, my eyes are really good, so I can see a lot more from very far away.
Flost: In other words, you’re going to climb that building over there?
Cadena: Yeah, I am.
[BEAST CRY]
Dolly: Tsk! Not this again!
Abel: Before we look for ‘em, we should beat these beasts to a pulp!
[BATTLE]
Evan: Are you there, Cadena?
Cadena: Hmm… There are beasts here sometimes, but…
Cadena: Huh…? I think there are beasts gathering down there…
Dolly: Ehh, I can’t really see it…
Cadena: And behind the beasts…
Cadena: Ah!?
Dolly: Hm? Did something happen?
Cadena: Huh…? I think there are beasts gathering down there…
Dolly: Ehh, I can’t really see it…
Cadena: And behind the beasts…
Cadena: Ah!?
Dolly: Hm? Did something happen?
Dolly: H-Hey, Cadena!?
Flost: This’ll be dangerous. Follow him!

Translation notes:
1. We tried very hard to make the difference between Hansel’s formal speech (敬語) and casual speech (タメ語) noticeable, but the English language has a lot more limitations between polite and casual speech than Japanese does, so a lot may have gone lost in translation. It doesn’t help that neither of us are native speakers either. Sorry!
