- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Chung: Ain! Are you well?
- Ain: Aw, did you worry about me? I'm fine, thanks to Ms. Hernia.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Lu: Eve, how about you?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Eve: I have undergone repairs and am now functioning optimally. More importantly... What happened? Your hair is singed at the end.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Lu: It, it's nothing! I'm glad you're in good health!
Elsword: I'm relieved to see everyone's doing well. Was the stay uneventful?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Aisha: I wouldn't say 'uneventful'...
Elsword: Huh? Why, did something happen?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Rena: We'll explain later. Anyway, it seems you two are getting along better than you left. Did you make up with each other?
Elsword: .......
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Add: .......
- Ain: They've been like this all day.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Aisha: Sigh, men! Do you really have to be so childish?
Elsword: We were... Busy! Yeah! Too busy!
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: Oh! Elsword, you're back!
Elsword: Sis! Where have you been?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: I just informed Velder of what we've learned so far, with the help from the Priestesses. So they can prepare for an upcoming invasion. Now that Berthe has access to the portal technology, it's only a matter of time before they start the invasion.
Raven: I see, we might have a repeat of the last demon invasion soon, then.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: This time, they won't be able to use the El shards as a medium, so it will be difficult to predict where they would show up.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Rena: It'll be best if the invasion never happens, but...
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: Yeah. And... I received a rather strange order. They said many people went missing from the castle during the Velder demon invasion. They couldn't find any trace of them, so they've been reported as missing... But some suspect they've been taken by demons. They asked me to investigate if we head back to the Demon Realm.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Lu: What? Demons dragged humans to the Demon Realm? Are you certain?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Rena: (Demons kidnapped humans? Then... cold it be that the elf that Lincy saw was...)
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: It's all speculation at this point. Since people went missing in the castle, most of them seem to be nobility...
Raven: ......?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: But since the nobles hold a lot of influence in Velder, they've asked to at least make a show of searching for them in the Demon Realm.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Ciel: Of course, if we find any captured people, we would rescue them, but if they're in the Demon Realm, then...
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: We can only hope they're wrong. Since the Demon Realm is not a place ordinary humans can endure.
Raven: Elesis, about the missing people...
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: Huh? What do you want to know?
Raven: ... No, it's nothing.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: Ok? Anyway, now we have another reason to go back to the Demon Realm. I hope the portal engineer of the Northern Empire comes soon...
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Aisha: I'm sure Master Gaia, Ara, and Laby will handle it just fine. For now, let's focus on interpreting the message that Rose received from Rigomor, and getting better at using this artifact.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Eve: Message from Rigomor? An artifact? Looks like we have a lot of catching up on.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Aisha: Oh! Let me explain! So...
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Add: Wait, I have something to say.
Elsword: ......!
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Chung: Wait, Add, maybe you should think on this first!
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Add: What?
|
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Ciel: I agree. Though it may feel tense, we understand why you made the decision. We know it was the only available option at the time.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: Yes, so please think again about leavi...
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Add: You... idiots!! Listen for once! Ahem! Sorry... for acting on my own.
Elsword: Add?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Add: I'm telling you, I still think my decision was the optimal choice. But, I could have asked for you opinion before I went with it. That's the only thing I'm apologizing for. Don't think you have one over me or anything! Since I know how sensitive you are about this, I will apply that knowledge in future consideration, but if I think it's necessary, I'm still going to do it no matter what you say. Understood?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: ... Do you have to add that much commentary on a simple 'I'm sorry'?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Add: Sh, Shut up! You, could have thanked me for saving all your sorry butts, but instead...!
Elsword: Thanks, Add.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Add: .......
Elsword: I knew you made the decision you did for our safety... But I was just so angry. When I was sparring with Solace, I realized that the person I was truly angry with wasn't you, but myself. So... I need to apologize, too. I'm sorry. You made a difficult decision, but I took my anger out on you, instead of accepting my short-comings.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Add: Tsk, stop it...! It's embarrassing.
- Ain: See? Isn't it much better now that you're honest? So mature!
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Add: You talk big for someone who was unconscious until now.
Elsword: Anyway, where are the El Masters? And the Priestesses?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Elesis: They're at the El Tower. They asked us to leave for a moment, so I think it might have to do with the El?
- Rose: Oh, and Master Gaia is not in Elrianode at the moment. He left to go to the Northern Empire with Ara and Laby.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Add: Then who's that over there?
- Rose: Oh! Master Gaia!
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Lu: Looks like those who left to the Northern Empire are finally back. Then that man...
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Ciel: That must be the White-Ghost King's portal engineer.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Chung: We have so much to share, and so much to hear.
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Aisha: Mmhm- I bet they'll be shocked to hear what we've found!
