- Beast: GRRR! GROWL!
- (SPLISH SPLASH...)
- Noah: Ugh, ah, I feel, nauseous...
- Clamor: Are you alright? The air quality must be really bad. Maybe even toxic.
- Ara: It's not somewhere we should linger. Since it's impossible not to breathe... We should take in as little as possible. Oof!
- Rena: Mmhm.
- Ara: ......Rena.
- Rena: Yes, Ara?
- Ara: You tried to tickle me, didn't you!
- Rena: Nope! I have no idea what you're talking about!
- Ara: What is it? Why is everyone teasing me today!
- Rena: Huhu, sorry! It's just that you were so cute and mopey like that.
- Rena: You were thinking about Aren leaving, weren't you? Don't worry about it. I'm sure Aren has his reasons for making his decision.
- Ara: Sigh... I understand. As I have my own path, my brother has his own.
- Ara: I keep... thinking back to when we were escaping the Abyss together with Aren, and how anxious I felt inside.
- Ara: I was disappointed about my brother's decision, but at the same time, also felt relief... Is that strange?
- Elesis: I think I get it.
- Ara: You do?
- Elesis: Hm... It might be different since I'm the older sister... But whenever I'm fighting with Elsword, I get worried a lot.
- Elesis: I'm also more careful. Haha, it's like I feel responsible for him all the time.
- Rena: When you cherish someone, they become a part of you. When they are hurt, you feel like you're hurt along side with them.
- Rena: Ara, I think you felt that way because you feel responsible for your brother.
- Elesis: But Aren seems like someone who has the strength and capability to take care of his own. He's surprisingly resilient.
- Elesis: Though, he also seems like a trouble magnet.
- Rena: Yes. He seems like the type who would panic, but still manage to overcome whatever comes his way.
- Ara: Hahaha... You're right. I think so, too.
- Ara: I'm embarrassed. I didn't know you were worried about those kind of things.
- Elesis: I'm not as worried these days. He is a full-fledged knight, after all. You have to trust the ones you love.
- Elesis: Besides, now there are many others who look after him and play with him for me. Look.
- Aisha: ... This stuff looks kinda thick. Do you think it's actually water?
- Elsword: If you want to know, why don't you stick your hand in it?
- Aisha: Ew, no! You do it.
- Ain: Hm. How about rock paper scissors?
- Aisha: Hehe, only if Elsword does it.
- Elsword: ... You're on! And you can't protect your hand with magic!
- Noah: Wait... Are you really doing this...?
- Chung: Wouldn't it be too dangerous? I don't think it's a good idea...
- Elsword: You chicken?
- Chung: I, I'm not chicken! Fine! Let's do this! No spells, and you have to use your bare hand!
- Elsword: You can't take back! If you lose, you have to put your bare hand for 5 seconds inside that water without using a spell. Agreed?
- Noah: R, Rena? Can you please stop them...?
- Rena: I can't believe you all! Didn't we say loud and clear that you can get electrocuted?
- Eve: ... I have analyzed the components. It's full of toxins that, while not immediately effective, have negative long term side effects.
- Eve: Do not put your hands in it. Stupid.
- Elesis: See? He's doing fine. Hahaha.
- Ara: Ahaha... Maybe you should step in for that?
- Elesis: Father once told me, life has many crossroads, but in the end, they all lead to your destination.
- Elesis: Even Lu is going back to her home... A long journey must come to an end, and there will come a time when you can reunite with those you miss. It doesn't matter how soon or late.
- Elesis: Don't think about it too much. Compared to your adventure, the parting will only last a moment.
- (BZZT- BE-EEP!)
- Ain: That device... It keeps ringing.
- Add: Damn it, what's going on? What is it reacting to?
- Chung: Maybe it's a malfunction?
- Add: It can't be! It's sensing something...! Something ahead...
- (BEEP!)
- Rose: There's something over there!
- Add: No. It's not that close. It's much farther away.
- Rose: Uh, no. There's really something coming this way.
- (BEEP-!)
- Beast: GRRR, ROAAR!
- Shaddie: Shh, stay. We have to confirm they're the right ones. One, two, three...
- Shaddie: I think they're the one! Yo! You must be the guests Boss was looking for! I'm not sure why you came this way, but welcome!
- Eve: Are you the guide that will take us to King of Torta?
- Shaddie: There's no need for a guide! This is the only path, and it will lead you straight to our base.
- Shaddie: I'm here to test the challengers that come this way!
- Laby: Whoa...! A test! We have to take a test, even though we're guests?
- Shaddie: Yup! Shaddie and friends are responsible to check everyone's skill and condition!
- Ain: Why would you care about our condition if fighting is the goal.
- Rose: Understood. We need to face you to pass?
- Elesis: But that means we're at the final stretch. Come on, everyone!
- Shaddie: Ooh! That's cool! Then I, Shaddie, will also give it my all!
- Shaddie: Let's go, Checky! Tweety! Attack!
- (WHIII!)
