Wind: Is it near yet, Trueno?
Trueno: …Not yet.
Burgess: …...
Volker: Burgess, what is the matter? You seem depressed.
Burgess: Ah, it’s just… I’m concerned about the others.
Volker: They all have survived the dangers of Basral until now. There is no need to worry about them.
Burgess: Yeah… you’ve got a point. My apologies, I might have gotten a bit nervous.
Volker: Do not worry. There are no perfect rotun, and it is precisely because we are imperfect that we are interesting.
Trueno: …Not yet.

Trueno: …121A4D.
Wind: Eh...?
Burgess: What’s wrong, Wind?
Trueno: Moved to 252A4D.
Wind: Everyone, prepare to run within 2 minutes. After that, we’ll give the signal.
Burgess: Did you locate Nandin?
Wind: Yeah, we’ll need to shoot three flares.
Burgess: Three flares… that means we’ll corner it in the third lure spot, right?
Wind: Yeah. It’s the spot that’s closest to us. That thing is charging forward…
Wind: …straight toward this building.
Wind: Eh...?

[NANDIN’S CRY]
Burgess: Trueno, Wind, I’m counting on you!
[STOMPING]
Trueno: ...We’ll detonate them.
Wind: Yeah, leave it to us.
Wind: Yeah, leave it to us.
[EXPLOSIONS]
Burgess: We paved the way, now if we corner it in the lure spot—
Trueno: Tsk..!
Volker: What is the matter, Trueno?
Wind: Looks like the explosives misfired.
Volker: What? Then, the path is…
Trueno: There’s a hole in it.
Burgess: Where is it!?
Trueno: At the end of the road, on the left side. If Nandin flees through there, then…
Burgess: We’ll be fine, as long as it doesn’t head towards the hole, right?
Wind: Well, yes, but…
Burgess: Let’s grab its attention! We’ll corner it while keeping it as far away from the hole as possible!
Volker: Which means we will need to engage in battle with it… As expected, avoiding combat turned out to be difficult.
Trueno: Damn… you’re talking rubbish.
Wind: Well, we can’t help it, can we? We chose to go through with that.

[BATTLE]

[STOMPING]
Burgess: It somehow ended up heading to the lure spot…
Wind: Phew, it was tiring, though.
Volker: This is not over yet. We need to prevent it from leaving until everyone has regrouped.

[NANDIN’S CRY]
Burgess: If we don’t end it here…
Volker: If we miss this chance, we will not get another one.
Volker: If we miss this chance, we will not get another one.
Abel: Sorry, we’re late!
Gerard: Tsk! Why did we have to arrive at the same time as them!?
Trueno: Don’t waste your energy on trivial things, you idiots.
Gerard: What did you say!?
Wind: He’s telling you to focus. We wouldn’t want to think about everyone dying happily, would we?
Gerard: I can understand him without your clarification!

[NANDIN’S CRY]
Volker: Well then, shall we begin?
Burgess: When you think about it, we’ve become quite the long-time acquaintances with this thing…
[NANDIN’S CRY]
Burgess: But that ends here!
