Ara: Pant, pant... Looks like they don't chase you into the store. Thank the heavens...
Eve: A simple algorithm. Return to the original position if you can't detect the target.
Ara: Is that... simple
Eve: It means it cannot think on its own like the Nasod.
Lithia: I knew it~ we didn't have to hide here, I could have swept them away with my magic.
Aisha: Uh, I think my magic did all the work.
Rena: Stop it you two~ You two made so much commotion that it brought all the androids in the entire block on us.
Tarith: Uh... H, hello?
Ara: Lu and Ciel weren't able to get here. Is that all right?
Elesis: We dealt with most of the androids so they should be fine. Let's catch our breath and and look for them.
- (......)
Chung: I'm glad we have some stores that we could enter.
Noah: Is this a cafe? The servers and guests are all just androids.
Server Android: [I can serve you here, your highness. Would you like the usual?]
Elsword: We're not kings and queens. Can we find anyone here other than these androids for manslaughter?
Tarith: I'm here! Stop ignoring me!
Ara: Kyaa! What was that?!
Tarith: Uwah! Yes, what? I'm...!
Tarith: Ah, hem, hem! Welcome. My name is Tarith. It has been a long time since we had guests here.
Elsword: ... What is this kid doing here?
Tarith: How insolent! Watch your words, human!
Ain: Wow, I haven't had such disrespect in such a long time.
Ara: I apologize for our trespassing, but could we know who you are? Are you the ruler of this place?
Tarith: Hmm, you could say that I am.
Ara: You could say...?
Tarith: Are there any problems?
Ara: N, no... I guess... not...
Elsword: (What is this kid doing? He says he's the master of this place... this building?)
Chung: (He might be higher up than that. He looks like a noble kid.)
Tarith: Hem! I w, welcome you here. It has been a long time since I greeted guests here.
Ain: Wait, there are guests in this place?
Tarith: I've had some guests on an airship, barging in without any permission.
Noah: (I can tell they clearly weren't well received...)
Tarith: I have a question though...
Tarith: How is this place as a guest? ... Is it good?
Elsword: What do you mean, good...?
Aisha: Ah, aaah. It's such a beautiful place. I've never seen such bustling streets in the Demon Realm!
Tarith: That's great to hear! I was worried that it would look awkward.
Tarith: D, does... this place look great for living? Is there any other parts to fix?
Elsword: Hmm, I can't really tell just by looking at this...
Tarith: Why, what's wrong?
Aisha: W, well! We're kind of busy and are not looking to get settled anywhere!
Chung: But if we were, we would be glad to get settled here, of course!
Tarith: Hmph, that's right! I'll show some mercy and forgive your trespassing.
Eve: You fool! Think before you speak!
Aisha: You really want to repeat what we went through at the wall again?
Elsword: No. I'm s, sorry!
Ara: I can tell that a lot of work went into this place. Do you have some you'd like to come here?
Ara: Whoever that might be, they will like this place.
Tarith: Really? You really think so? Hehe, thanks... Ah.
Tarith: There's no point trying to win me over like that! I'm not taking you guys in!
Ara: I apologize! But I did not lie about this place!
Ain: (The kid is a handful.)
Raven: (He's wary, but not hostile... We can possibly talk to him more.)
Raven: Sorry to interrupt, but we're looking to solve the issues going on in the Land of Steel.
Tarith: What? You're not here to invade upon the lands?
Noah: Well, we did create a commotion in the wall... But we're not here to invade.
Aisha: Let me be clear, if we had a peaceful way of getting here, we would not have wrecked the wall like that.
Laby: You greeted us even when you thought we were the bad guys?
Tarith: Yes. I, I had something to ask of you guys.
Tarith: I am looking for someone. I'm wondering if I can ask for a favor... no, a mission.
Tarith: If you will, I will give you my full support.
Elsword: To us?...
Tarith: I am actually not the true master of this place. I've been rebuilding the Land of Steel in hopes of the day when the true master will return...
Tarith: We can't really try with the land so contaminated like this...
Rena: (So this aerial fortress is a rehearsal for future rebuilding?)
Noah: Why did the previous master leave?
Tarith: I'm not sure. I'm sure there are many reasons... but she was probably disappointed in me.
Noah: What did you do wrong?
Tarith: I was stubborn. I said I would not leave these lands. I would stand by the Queen's side...
Tarith: ... This has nothing to do with it! Don't change the subject!
Noah: You're the one who changed the subject...
Laby: (So, the Queen in question is Lu, right?)
Chung: (Is this kid Barkat? Is he under a false name?)
Rose: (Well, I'm glad Lu isn't here right now. We can know in advance.)
Raven: (Good. Let's confirm a couple of things).
Raven: Why are you asking us instead of searching on your own?
Tarith: Well... I have a problem. I can't leave this place...
Ain: We're from outside of the Demon Realm. Isn't it better to ask other demons?
Tarith: The one I'm looking for is not in this world. Demons can't help me.
Chung: (He must know that Lu had gone to Elrios.)
Raven: What will you do when the master comes back?
Tarith: Uh... What?
Raven: I'm asking what you're going to do when she returns. Why do you want her to return? Is there something to gain from all this?
Raven: Let's assume that we find this master you speak of. What if she does not want to come back? What should we do, then?
Raven: You said it's a mission. So, did you want us to bring her even if it may be against her will?
Tarith: N, no! That's not what I'm looking for! It's not for personal gains... or anything!
Tarith: Of course I want her to come back... but I don't want her to hate me. If she doesn't want to come back, at least I want to hear how she's doing.
Tarith: If you see her, please send word... I... D, Digg... am waiting for her.
Chung: (Wait... I've heard of the name Digg. I guess he's not Barkat.)
- (Ring~)
Lu: Ah, everyone's here! You all disappeared without a word! I was looking all over for you all.

- Rena: Wait, Lu! If you come in right now...
- Lu: Hmm? What's going on?
- Tarith: ... You are...
- Lu: Hmm? Ah, I see someone who's not an android here. Do you know me?
- Tarith: My Queen? No, no... someone else? But you have the soul of...
Tarith: No... no... She is the Queen. But why is she not complete?
Tarith: My Queen, do you not remember me? What happened to you?
Tarith: Why are you in this form? Don't tell me you suffered the same fate as I... No, that can't be, right?
Ciel: Lu, do you know this kid?
Tarith: This can't be. This cannot be... Who are you!
Ciel: Hmm? What did I...
Tarith: What did you do to my Queen! This cannot be...! Impossible...!
Ciel: Well... I don't know why you're throwing a fit, but calm down first.
Tarith: D, don't come neat me! You won't take my soul away!
Ciel: O, okay. I don't know why you're lashing out at me... Is that better now?
Tarith: I knew I shouldn't have had expectations! I shouldn't have trusted in them! Humans are all evil. Seeds of discord, flames of doom!
Tarith: I should have listened to Barkat!
Lu: What? Barkat!
Ciel: Barkat is here? Wait, we need to talk...!
Tarith: Don't come near me!!
Tarith: I will not forgive you... Don't you dare think of getting out of here alive! I will make sure humans never lay a single finger on the Demon Realm!
Add: With these androids? You blame humans, but yet you seem so fond of human technology.
Tarith: Shut up!! I will kill anyone who speaks!!
Tarith: My people! Stop them!
