- Laby: (That face again... It's like the face Mao and Calonne made... Even teacher, when we first me... But... A little different. It feels weird, but Laby doesn't want to run away anymore. Even though it's strange... Maybe Laby can face it eventually...)
- Bellonde: ......
- CRASH...!
- Laby: Uaaaahh!! Watch out! More rocks!! What's that? It's much bigger than the crawlies from before... Teacher?
- Bellonde: That must be the mother's nest... The monster grew even bigger... It's too dangerous to leave it be... I wasn't sure I could defeat it, so I was avoiding it until now... But it's time to face my fears and go back where I need to be!
- SLAM...!
- Laby: Teacher!! That's amazing! You were super strong, but now you're super super strong!!!
- Bellonde: ... It's thanks to you, Laby.
- Laby: Huh? What did Laby do?
- Bellonde: Haha, you made me realize I had nothing to worry about. No matter what happened in the past, it doesn't change what I have to do in the moment. I won't forget what happened, nor would I run away. I will continue to fulfill my duties that I wasn't able to before.
- Laby: Duties?
- Bellonde: Remember what I told you on the ship? My power is to protect everyone.
- Laby: Teacher's goal...! You found it again! You look like a happy teacher now! Laby's happy, too! Nisha says she's happy also!
- Bellonde: Yes, I don't think I ever felt this relieved since I opened my eye. Thank you, Laby. I think now, I can stand firm in my beliefs now matter what happens.

- Bellonde: Now, shall we head to Elrianode?
- Laby: Whoa!! So we're finally meeting teacher's teacher!! Ooooh! So exciting!! But how do we get into Elrianode? There's a barrier surrounding it.
- Bellonde: Let me explain. First, you should know that this barrier is composed on Henir's energy.
- Laby: Com... posed? What's Henir?
- Bellonde: Most know Henir as the god of an extreme religious organization that tried to destroy Elrios in the past. Although rather than a god... He is more of... a concept... But in any case, since gods are established when they acquire followers...
- Laby: ... Teacher...
- Bellonde: Hmhm. In simpler terms, Henir is the energy or space that contains chaos, or chaos itself.
- Laby: ... Are you sure you were trying to make it easy for Laby?
- Bellonde: Hm... I'm sorry, but this is only the second time I've seen it. Even then, I never came in contact with its power until now. Plus, I've never heard that it can form a barrier like this, so it's hard for me to explain what it is, or what might happen.
- Laby: So there's something teacher doesn't know other than what Laby is? Do you know if Henir is dangerous? Bad?
- Bellonde: Hm... I'm sure what kind of traits this barrier might hold, but my teacher told me that Henir, by itself, cannot be evil. Wait, since Henir was once a part of primordial Elrios... In theory, it should be safe if we create a shield using El energy using it's orderly traits to negate...
- Laby: Oh! Teacher! Do you have a scheme?
- Bellonde: Laby, do you remember the power I used to help you when you fell in the water?
- Laby: Uh huh! It was warm and soft!
- Bellonde: That is a shield I created using my power. It's not particularly strong, but it should be better than coming in direct contact with Henir energy.
- Laby: So... Laby is waring the same power again?
- Bellonde: Yes. But this won't be able to protect you long. So if we're separated again inside the barrier, don't look for me, think about getting out of the barrier first, alright?
- Laby: And leave teacher behind? But...
- Bellonde: As I said earlier, we don't know what's going to happen inside that barrier. I might now be able to protect you, when that happens. But I believe in you Laby. So please promise me that you will do as I say.
- Laby: Mm...! Ok! Laby believes in teacher too!
- Bellonde: Alright, let's go then.
