*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' '' | *{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''(Who... is this...?) Did I fall asleep...?'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' '' | *{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''... What, you just wanted to say you're sorry?'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Tsk, why would an Elf like you invent something like that and mess everything up. You're not even a Debrian.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''... I thought magitech was the way to change unfair, and unjust situations. Even if you're not an Elrian, even if you don't have any special powers, even if you are born with disabilities... I believed a magical device that anyone can use would solve many of the problems... No, let's not glorify this. At the end of the day, I just wanted to prove myself to the world that a half-Elf like me can accomplish something great. I never thought it would lead to something unforgivable like this...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''... Stop whining about it. And don't even think about coddling me like a kid like you do with that guy. Hmph. I get what you're saying. You died a long time ago, and the Order took your research, which eventually ended up with the Rosso family. Even if you didn't do anything, those crazy people would have done everything they could to go through with the experiment.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''But...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''I'm not done. You're worried that weakling over there seems to neglect the present because he's fixated in the past? To me, you're no different. That research left your hands the moment you breathed your last breath.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''But I still exist, even in a form like this. I guess we're alike. Me, my invention, we both exist long after we're due.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Fine. Wallow in your misery. You're just like him. You don't listen to a word I say.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''... Why did you become a Master?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Ack! You could have said you were awake!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''I'm awake.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''It's too late now!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Answer me. Why did you become a Master? I didn't think you were the kind to just accept the position.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Are you insulting me?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''I'm genuinely curious. If it were me, I don't think I could have let it go. I would have done something.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Tsk, I didn't say I was going to answer...'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' '' | *{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''... Do you think you'll be happy once you manage to take revenge?'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''I thought I succeeded once. Rather than happy... I think I felt relieved... Looking back, I'm not sure if it's because I thought I succeeded, or because I no longer felt burdened by it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''... I thought so too. I thought I was going to destroy everything the moment I became powerful enough, and that it will feel gratifying. But when I actually did manage to, I just felt frustrated. Why did it have to be us? It wasn't fair. And when I looked at those who turned to ashes, all I felt was emptiness inside. Vengeance, like flames, only leaves pitiful remains after it burns. As I aimlessly burned without purpose, there was a guy who reached me through the flmes and told me. Don't burn yourself away like fire. If you don't have a goal, I'll give you mine.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''(Number 27, Lebio...)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''He said he will endure the experiments and become the Fire Master. He didn't even have cursed heritage like I do... He believed if he became the Fire Master, and kept the position long enough, the experiments would eventually stop.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''That's too...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Yes, he was hopelessly idealistic. But the El needed to burn constantly after it became unstable.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''... Someone had to do it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''That's why I became a Master. And there will be no Fire Master after me. I refuse to step down from this position, and I will never turn into ashes.... Is that a good enough answer?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''... Hey, Noah. I have something to tell you as well. It's not that I can't rely on you, or trust you. It's just... you are carrying so many burdens on your shoulder... I felt heavy-hearted because it felt like my problem was only adding on to that.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''I don't think...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Not only that, I was worried because it seemed like you were throwing yourself away. I don't know about this era, but to me, you're still young enough to be under the protection of a guardian. Of course... That doesn't mean I should have acted like one... But I was scared that you'd fall into a situation where you can't get out of on your own, and I won't be able to do anything to help you. I'm useless other than staying by your side and talking to you, after all.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Clamor...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''... Ugh. Do I really have to be stuck between two people who are pouring their hearts out? If it weren't for Darkmoon...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''The Moon Priestess? What did she ask?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Do I look like a messenger to you? Ask her yourself. She looked like she had something to say, so she'll show up sooner or later now that you're awake.'' | |||
