Rena: Yes, that's it. And then you tie the knot.
Ain: The bandage can come loose while you're applying, so make sure to watch out for that.
Laby: Ok! Like this... ... Done!
Laby: Yay! All better! Now high-five!
Rena: Haha... Raven is not fully recovered yet. That was just basic first aid...
Ain: Yes. So no high-five for you, Mr. Half-Nasod.
Raven: I wasn't planning on it.
Ricardo: That looks convenient. I wonder why we don't have a healer?
Lu: That's because you only need a little rest to be fully recovered. If you're really jealous, go lick your wounds.
Ricardo: That's no help... Ey, Shaddie. Support me better, will you? You're tilting me.
Shaddie: Sorry, will power is not enough to make Shaddie taller!
Ricardo: Anyway, who are you? I didn't see you in any of their dreams.
Lu: Hmph. Of course you haven't. That's because my presence is too immense and ancestral to be witnessed by your power.
Ricardo: Wait, really? You're the real deal?
Lu: Absolutely disrespectful... If you don't believe me, watch and see. Everything will be proven once we reach the Great Steel Wall.
Ricardo: .......
Ricardo: ... I don't know. I doubt it.
Lu: Tsk! You would still talk back to me?
Ciel: Calm down, Lu. Be the bigger person.
Rose: (He's still abrasive... But it seemed that he finally acknowledged who Lu is.)
Rose: (... What will be waiting for us ahead?)
Ciel: How much farther do we have to go? You're not leading us somewhere suspicious, are you?
Ricardo: Have so little faith in me? Look over there. You should be able to see the gate that way.
Elesis: He's right! I see the gate! Why haven't you been able to go through?
Ricardo: Let me show you. Ey, check that contraption next to the gate.
Eve: There's a sensor. Perhaps the door opens when it recognizes the subject?
Ricardo: Heh, why don’t you try.
Lu: Hmph, of course it will open. Behold, I shall show you that I'm the true Steel Queen.
Lu: Now, open the gate!
- ...BEBEEP. BEEP- BEEP- BEEP-
Lu: What...! Why doesn't it open? I said I'm the true Steel Queen!
- BEEP- BEEP- BEEP-
Ciel: (Does it not recognize her because it's not her true form?)
Ain: You lied to us all this time, Ms. Demon?
Lu: Stop it! I'm in no mood to jest! Mrr... This must be a mistake! There's something wrong!
Ricardo: Hahaha! Keep going! You do it five times or so, and you'll be attacked by a battalion of airships. It's really a sight to behold.
Raven: Speaking from experience?
Ricardo: You can say that again. That gate does not open. It's made that way.
Ricardo: The gate is also just carved to look like a gate. Go look closely if you're curious.
Noah: It doesn't open? Why would someone make something like that?
Ricardo: It's all a trap. Hahaha! Isn't it entertaining?
Ricardo: The massive bounty on the Steel Queen was a scam! A ploy! Who would have imagined!
Eve: The alarm is set to ring after a slight delay when you reveal your identity...
Eve: It's made to harm whoever claims to be the Steel Queen, whether real or fake.
Lu: After... me? Why...? To this extent...
Ain: ... We understand we cannot use this gate. Then how can we go over this wall?
Shaddie: For that, we have forged a path! If it's alright with you, I'll take you there, Boss!
Raven: Um...
Shaddie: Yes, Boss! What can I do for you?
Raven: ... What did you call me?
Shaddie: Huh? Well... You won against Big Boss, so you're the new Boss. That's why I'm calling you Boss!
Elsword: Wow... Raven, you have subordinates now...
Rose: I don't think Raven is interested in becoming a part of your group... Besides, he's not a demon.
Shaddie: Aw, it's fine. We don't care about those things!
Raven: I uh... still would rather if you don't call me that.
Shaddie: Wha...? Boss, what do I do? It seems Big Boss doesn't want to be called Boss!
Ikus: Then what do we call him?
Ricardo: I don't know. Why don't you like it? This never happened before.
Eris: Mm hm... Oh! What about Chief?
Shaddie: Oh, that's good! You can also differentiate from Boss!
Raven: I'm not comfortable with that either...
Chung: I don't think you're allowed to refuse.
Ciel: That's right! Didn't you say something like, everyone serve under you if you defeat the alpha dog... Or something like that?
Ciel: You act all cool, saying those things only to abandon them the next moment? They want to serve you, just let them be. You fit the role.
Raven: You seem too entertained. Am I sensing your grudge from the earlier match?
Ciel: Nope! You must be hearing things.
Raven: .......
Add: Enough with the chit-chat and lead us the way right now! We're in a hurry!
