- [Lanox Village]
- Elesis: Elsword! You're back already? Do you know where Ignia...
- Ara: Really? That's such a dramatic meeting.
- Lu: Yes. I can't begin to think what would have happened if I didn't meet Ciel back then.
- Lu: But your first meeting is quite dramatic as well, isn't it? I thought for sure you knew each other for years.
- Rena: True... It does feel like that. How did we first meet again?
- Aisha: I saved Elsword from Berthe's attack, I believe?
- Elsword: Hey, get your story straight. I almost had that in the bag!
- Raven: Who are these people...?
- Elsword: You're back! This is Lu and Ciel.
- Lu: Oh, your other friends? I am a Demon Lord, the Steel Queen, Luciela R. Sourcream. I do not care for formalities, so you may call me Lu.
- Add: Oh...?
- Elesis: What...?
- (CLACK)
- Chung: ... Demon! How dare you...!
- Ciel: Hey, isn't that too much for just a greeting? I would appreciate it if you move that dangerous thing away. We are not even holding our weapons.
- Eve: ... Add. Is this the intuition you had?
- Add: Kuhuhu, I'm good, but not this good.
- Add: Oi, punk. Explain.
- Elesis: Yes. Get over here and explain the situation.
- Chung: I don't understand. They're demons!
- Raven: Elsword, do you think they can be trusted?
- Elsword: Everyone, calm down. I get that everyone hates demons. They're the ones invading Elrios...
- Elsword: But unlike other demons, Lu and Ciel didn't attack us.
- Raven: Even if they are presenting a friendly face now, we don't know when they will show their true colors.
- Elsword: I thought about that, but I don't think there's anything to worry about.
- Elsword: Besides... It's not right to reject people when we don't even know about them.
- Chung: But...! ... I just can't bring myself to trust them.
- Elsword: Then, how about thinking it this way? Lu and Ciel know more about demons than we do.
- Elsword: Something serious is going on at Lanox, but we still don't know anything about our enemy. Lu and Ciel will be helpful on that front.
- Elsword: When a really strong demon appears, maybe they can tell us their weakness or something.
- Add: You're too soft. If you want information, you should be thinking about using them, not hoping for good will.
- Chung: Alright, let's say those two demons do help us out for now, Elsword.
- Chung: How do we know it's not just a ruse to ambush us later like Raven says?
- Elsword: That's no problem. If Lu and Ciel are the kinds to need an ambush, there's no way we would lose.
- Eve: ... I thought he was too trusting, regardless of people, but I have no idea that courtesy extended to demons as well.
- Elesis: They have the guts to have a tea party at the center of the village. Either they are confident in their skills, or they're crazy.
- Elesis: It seems Rena, Aisha, and Ara are all getting along with them, so I suppose, at least, they are different from other demons we've encountered so far.
- Elesis: Then I guess it's fine. But I need to experience for myself, so I'll go talk to them.
- Raven: I'll go with you. Whether or not they should be accepted is something that must be weighed carefully.
- Eve: ...
- Chung: ... They all left.
- Chung: ... Am I in the wrong, Eve? I just can't comprehend that a demon doesn't have to be an enemy.
- Chung: We fought against demons all this time. We witnessed first hand what they have done...
- Eve: I am not certain I understand, but I do think Elsword is consistent in his actions. I have already experienced something similar with the El Search Party.
- Chung: Huh? When?
- Eve: The El Search Party fought against the Nasods before fighting against demons. After the end of the battle, he saw me, and told me he would be my friend.
- Eve: I could not believe this was someone who was fighting the Nasods up until then.
- Chung: ... I also think we should know more about our enemies. Demons have used various methods to always stay ahead of the game.
- Chung: We have much to learn from our enemies. I know that... But this is so sudden...
- Eve: We will keep our eyes on them together. We all understand it's necessary. Besides, an oaf like Elsword won't even think to suspect another person, so we need to look after him.
- Eve: Don't worry. If Lu and Ciel approached us to deceive us, I will not forgive them.
- Chung: Haha, I suppose. Thank you, Eve.

- Chung: I don't understand. They're demons!

- Ain: Demons in Sander also did not dirty their own hands.
- Raven: Even if they are presenting a friendly face now, we don't know when they will show their true colors.

- Add: You're too soft. If you want information, you should be thinking about using them, not hoping for good will.
- Ain: (... I realized at Sander, that it might be dangerous to continue forward with my knowledge alone. However...)
- Ain: (Alliance with demons is too much of a risk. Even if they are helpful...)
- Chung: Alright, let's say those two demons do help us out for now, Elsword.

- Elesis: It seems Rena, Aisha, and Ara are all getting along with them, so I suppose, at least, they are different from other demons we've encountered so far.
- Ain: ... No. They didn't do anything. I would much rather they did, provide me with an excuse to get rid of them.
- Elesis: Then I guess it's fine. But I need to experience for myself, so I'll go talk to them.
