- Betty: ...... .......
- Diana: Betty! What's wrong? Nervous? Hungry? Should I give you gold coins?
- Victoria: As you can see... The Bettys are refusing to act as our eyes.
- Stirbargen: That won't do. Not that I had high hopes.
- Stirbargen: Now then, which one of you would it be?
- Victoria: .......
- Diana: ... Mrr, I...
- Vasili: I'll go.
- Diana: What? You can't!
- Vasili: There's no other choice. We can't have the Queen leave the tribe.
- Victoria: ... Yes. Sorry.
- Vasili: Those who aren't awakened will have a hard time enduring it. Plus... If something happens, we need at least one Awakened one to support the Queen.
- Vasili: It's better that I leave as the unstable one. I'm the only acceptable candidate.
- Diana: If something happens? Don't say it like that.
- Vasili: It is what it is. Right now, we have a problem and we need to find a solution.
- Diana: .......
- Stirbargen: It's decided then? Let's get a move on... Hm?
- Stirbargen: Oh? Now this is an interesting turn of events.
- Victoria: Huh? What do you mean?
- Stirbargen: We have guests. Let's go greet them.
- Lu: Tir! What are you doing here! Just what are you up to!
- Ciel: Calm down, Lu. This is Red Demon Territory. He's right at home.
- Laby: Oooh? Laby haven't seen you before. Hello! I'm Laby!
- Stirbargen: Hello, long time no see! Have you grown? Though I see Lu's still tiny.
- Stirbargen: ... And now you have a suspicious being in your group.
- Laby: Uugh...? Are you talking about Laby?
- Victoria: You were still here? I'm sorry to tell you, but we're about to leave this place.
- Raven: You're leaving the village? Is it because of what we've found?
- Stirbargen: Oh? What did you find?
- Raven: We found a strange phenomenon as we were passing Ran's Castle. Lu said it was dangerous, so we thought you should know.
- Lu: ... We found Abyss. A massive one, not too far from here.
- [After Exiting Shadow Earl's Castle.]
- Ara: I... can't believe it.
- Chung: A, and then he showed me the safe way out of Red Demon Territory.
- Chung: I'm sory about Aren leaving. I should have stopped him...
- Ara: Don't worry. I'm not angry at you, Chung.
- Ara: Aren... How could he leave without a word. I didn't think he'd be so headstrong.
- Ara: He must still think of me as a child. Even though I'm no longer that naive young girl I once was! He didn't think he could rely on me!
- Chung: I, I think you are very reliable! Truly!
- Aisha: I understand how Ara's feeling. I didn't think Aren would leave like that without a word.
- Eve: It would have been great to talk more and share more information.
- Laby: Maybe he suddenly remembered something to do?
- Ciel: ...... Hm.
- Ciel: Hey, I'm sensing something odd. Do you feel anything, Lu?
- Lu: So you feel it, too. It's a massive current of demonic energy.
- Lu: It's a familiar feeling... If it's what I think it is, we should be on our guard. It's not something to be taken lightly.
- Ain: .......
- Rena: Ah, hey? Is everyone feeling alright?
- Rena: No one's feeling sluggish, or have sudden chills?
- Rose: Hm? Ah... No. Not at all.
- Laby: Laby's feeling peachy! Is something wrong, Rena?
- Rena: Is it just me? I'm sensing something strange from earlier. Like shivers down my spine, and feeling a bit woozy...
- Aisha: Are you ok? Perhaps we should take a rest.
- Ain: (... It's a repulsive feeling.)
- Ain: (Something I haven't felt since Feita.)
- Rose: It might be fatigue from traveling uphill.
- Rose: Let's rest while scouting around. Oh, is that dark thing the sea of the demon realm?
- Chung: Something doesn't seem right.
- Raven: It doesn't make sense that the sea would be located here... Wait here. I'll go check it out.
- Laby: Laby will go, too! Laby knows about sea!
- Noah: Um... ... Are you alright?
- Rena: Totally. Sorry if I worried you. I'm sure it's nothing.
- Rena: I'm just on edge because it's been oddly quiet.
- Noah: What do you mean?
- Rena: You see, there are spirits in the demon realm as well. Even though they don't like to come near us.
- Rena: But I haven't seen any... for a while now.
- Eve: It's strange. We also haven't encountered any beasts since we've left Magmelia and Ran's castle.
- Eve: If the spirits are also gone... Then there's truly nothing here. It's oddly... empty.
- Ara: Maybe it's always this empty?
- Elesis: I don't think that's likely... If there's nothing here, there's no reason for the Dream Demons to do business here.
- Add: Who knows. Maybe they're that bad at business.
- Chung: W, wait. Something's wrong! The compass is pointing a different direction all of a sudden...
- Elsword: Hey, everyone! Come check this out! There's something weird here!
- Aisha: Wait... That's... W, what?
- Ciel: Aren... Just where were you leading us?
