Episode 6: A Giant Weapon and a Vengeful Blade

---

Scene: On a mountain road.

Burning with anger, Luka's group stormed the canyon cave...

Supervisor
What...!? It's them! Hey! The magician girl and the weak boy are here!!

Eriko
The weak boy? Do not say such demeaning words about Lord Yuuki...!

Nanaka
These are the ones who hurt Anna and Yuuki...! You insects won't get away with this!

Mitsuki
Eriko, Nanaka, could you hold yourselves for a little longer? Let's see if we can't get these fools out of this cave first. If not, then we'll have to come up with a way to overrun them ourselves.

Thief
Are those the ones who we get a special bonus if we beat? Oh, the walking tempest is with them, too -- how interesting.

Villain
Ha ha ha, I'm gonna make some money!

Supervisor
You! What are you thinking, coming back so casually!? Are you here to apologize for your grave transgressions?

Supervisor
Hah! Your crimes are worthy of death! But we're no villains here.

Supervisor
We'll allow you and all of your companions to repent for your sins with sweat, as you work in our mines!

Stechepalme
Enough of your lies, heretic! Hecate of the Gale will sentence you for your outrageous deeds!

Supervisor
What...!? You've got guts -- let's see if your bark matches your bite!

Luka
Yes, well, we all know that the weakest dogs bark the loudest. Even now, you're so busy barking that you can't hear the sound of your life coming to an end.

Luka
... We'll clean out those ears for you! None of you will ever witness the dawn of tomorrow!

Luka
Anna! Eriko! Mitsuki! Nanaka! Let's go! Don't hold anything back!

Begin animated cutscene.

Eriko
I will have you atone for the sin of injuring Lord Yuuki with your life.

Eriko
Disappear... Disappear... Disappear!

Eriko's axe cracks the ground. A vine sprouts up and suspends the supervisor in the air.

Supervisor
What's this!?

Mitsuki
I have a most torturous experiment planned, with you as the subject.

Luka
... It's time to turn you over to the authorities.

Thieves
H-Help us!

Anna
Let's go! My sworn ally, Nanaka!

Nanaka
Agreed!

Nanaka
Haaah! Digital Flash!

Anna
Magic that heralds the annihilation of Ragnarok!

Anna & Nanaka
Combine, and destroy the enemy!

End of cutscene.

Eriko
Heh heh... Everyone, why are you running? The more you run, the more you prolong your torment in hell.

Eriko
Surely even insects like you would want to limit their suffering, yes?

Eriko
Or do you already know that the sin of injuring Lord Yuuki can never be atoned for...? Then, you insects, disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear...

Mitsuki
Eriko, if you could, then please leave their cadavers intact. Otherwise, I won't be able to use them for experiments.

Nanaka
Ya-hoo! Evil, be purified! Ora ora ora ora ora oraaa!

Stechepalme
I'll grant you the special honor of being defeated by my ultimate spell!

Stechepalme
May your hearts tainted with sin wander the depths of purgatory for eternity! Haaah!!

Thief
Gah! D-Damn, who are these people!? They're so strong!!

Villain
I-It's hopeless! Gaaah!!

Luka
Honestly, all of you. I don't mind you getting fired up, but leave some for me, won't you?

Noble
How noisy... What are you all doing?

Supervisor
S-Sir!

Stechepalme
There you are, heretic! Everyone, that person's their boss!

Nanaka
Ah! He was in the store...! So you really were the reason I was attacked!

Noble
How audacious of you. Do not treat this world's future king with such disrespect.

Eriko
King? What a fascinating insect... Crushing you will be fun.

Stechepalme
Hmph! I've had enough of your haughty attitude! Drop it now!!

Noble
You. I believe I told you to eliminate any deserters, so what is the meaning of this?

Supervisor
Sorry, this group is incredibly strong...!!

Noble
Incredibly strong... is it. You still do not know the meaning of truly incredible strength.

Noble
But you have no need to worry. Allow the king of the new world to give you a special demonstration!

Noble
This is what they call noblesse oblige... Ha ha ha!

Nanaka
G-Gross! This guy's rotten to the core, no doubt about it!

Mitsuki
Luka. That confidence... He's hiding something.

Luka
So it seems. We need to watch him carefully.

Noble
Do you know of the masei-juu? ^[1] They were monsters that supposedly overran the continent of Astraea long ago.

Noble
Humanity, with its meager strength, had no chance of standing against the masei-juu, and many people were carried off by those monsters... However, humanity did not give up.

Stechepalme
What? What's this shaking...

Noble
After many long years, humanity successfully crafted a certain weapon that could defeat the masei-juu... So the old fairy tales say.

Noble
However...! This is no mere fairy tale!

Noble
After toiling in silence for so long, I have obtained that legendary weapon! Me!! I have at last successfully decoded the ancient texts!

Nanaka
Gyaaah!? W-What's that!!?? It's moving...!

Noble
What of it!? Spectacular, is it not!? Now that I've registered myself as its master, it will carry out my every command without hesitation!

Noble
Once I have annihilated you, I will move onto Landsol...

Noble
After the present government is topped, the people will be clamoring for a new ruler! The foolish masses are wont for such things!

Noble
And that new ruler will be me!! A new country will be born, for me, of me, and by me!!

Noble
And then! From that moment onward!! A brilliant new chapter of the world's history will begin!!

Stechepalme
Ugh...!? What a strong impact -- if we get hit directly, we're done for!

Supervisor
S-Sir!? We're still here!!

Noble
Oh? I have no use for human refuse who couldn't carry out my orders! You will be my targets on this test drive!! Ha ha ha ha!!

Yuuki
1. "Everyone, gather around!"
2. "Everyone, run away!"

Option 1.

Stechepalme
Sigurd!? Ah... I see, you're going to strengthen us! Good idea!

Nanaka
It's time, it's time! Time for your power!

Option 2.

Stechepalme
No, assistant leader! It's time for us to stand our ground! I will guard your life at all costs! So, let us fight together!

Nanaka
I know! Strengthen us all! If we've got your power, Yuuki, we'll be able to take that guy out in one punch!

End of branches.

Mitsuki
Excellent idea. If you would!

Eriko
I've been waiting for this, Lord Yuuki!

Luka
It's your time to shine, Yuuki!

Luka
With such a massive enemy... We'll be asking for all you can give. Lend us your power!

Stechepalme
Whoa...! This is definitely Sigurd's power!! Now is when the clock strikes midnight...! Evil eye, open! Transform, annihilate form!!

Nanaka
It's here, it's here! Honor! Glory! Big applause!! Wahahaha!!

Noble
W-What are you doing!? You mean to oppose me...!? Are you not afraid of this weapon at all!?

Eriko
What a fool. Your words betray your idiocy...

Mitsuki
We are long past the point of fear.

Noble
Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up!! Nothing can defeat this massive machine! You have no chance!!

Luka
Hey, nobleman. To commemorate this occasion, let me give you a souvenir from the underworld.

Luka
You've hurt someone whom you absolutely should not have hurt. It's far too late for any form of apology.

Luka
Everyone, let's show this big lug what we're made of! Let them experience the depths of our anger!!

Luka
Simply searching for weaknesses isn't our style. Use your strongest abilities to bring it down!

Noble
Gyahaha!! How do you plan to defeat me without any hint of strategy!? You ignorant fools will be crushed beneath my boot!!

Mitsuki
Oh? Was that your attack? How sluggish.

Mitsuki
Let me show you a real attack!!

Noble
W-Whaat!?

Eriko
Your skill is impressive, Mitsuki. All thanks to the power Lord Yuuki lent to us...

Eriko
With Lord Yuuki's love coarsing through my body, there is nothing I cannot destroy...!! Haaaaah...!!

Noble
O-Ohhhh!?

Nanaka
Next up, this is for you!! Hiyaaah!!

Stechepalme
And now, I redeem myself for my earlier humiliation!! Awaken, ruler of the netherworld...! Inflict upon them the ultimate destruction!

Stechepalme
Take this! Draconic Demolition Burst!!

Noble
A-A-Ahhhh!?

Luka
... Then, this will finish it.

Luka
You who manipulated people for your own ends, you will see no dreams... As you descend to hell!!

Luka
Haaaah!!!!

Noble
Hyaaa!? G-Gyaaah!!?? M-M-My, my giant weapon!?

Nanaka
Yes! The end!! Divine retribution has been served!

Stechepalme
Witness the power of Twilight Caravan!!

Eriko
Luka, what a wonderful display.

Mitsuki
Indeed, I was moved by the sight of it. But more than anything, we owe our victory to Yuuki's power.

Luka
Yes, that's right. Your performance was enough to make people fall in love with you, Yuuki.

Eriko
I cannot very well let those words of Luka's go... But for now, I will feign ignorance.

Eriko
As she said, it was thanks to your power that we were able to defeat this enemy, Lord Yuuki. Thank you very much.

Nanaka
Yeah, I'd expect nothing less, Yuuki!

Stechepalme
I'm happy to have been able to thwart evil together with you, Sigurd! This was a victory that we all achieved, together!!

Luka
That's right. Everyone, including you, Yuuki -- congratulations.

Luka
You all did well. We can consider this matter resolved!
