| 1 | qst202505_msg0001 | 84 | I see...then the light that was reported
coming from the World Tree was an
attack performed by this Blade? |
| 2 | qst202505_msg0002 | 84 | It is quite difficult to believe that a
single Blade could produce such
remarkable levels of energy... |
| 3 | qst202505_msg0003 | 84 | You got that right. I saw it myself,
and I still had trouble believing it! |
| 4 | qst202505_msg0004 | 84 | But it's the truth. |
| 5 | qst202505_msg0005 | 84 | Were it not for KOS-MOS's attack,
we would all have been defeated by
those rogue artificial Blades. |
| 6 | qst202505_msg0006 | 84 | Hmmm... Well, as long as you have
that power safely under control,
I suppose it is not a problem. |
| 7 | qst202505_msg0007 | 84 | Thank you for your explanation. |
| 8 | qst202505_msg0008 | 84 | Regarding the artificial Blades, they
are indeed a worrying development. |
| 9 | qst202505_msg0009 | 84 | They are capable of flight, yes?
It seems difficult to guarantee that
they will remain on the World Tree. |
| 10 | qst202505_msg0010 | 84 | There is a very real possibility that
berserk artificial Blades could end up
descending upon nearby nations. |
| 11 | qst202505_msg0011 | 84 | True enough. |
| 12 | qst202505_msg0012 | 84 | I will make use of the Tantal military
and strengthen surveillance around
the World Tree. |
| 13 | qst202505_msg0013 | 84 | We are most grateful for your wise
decision, Your Majesty. |
| 14 | qst202505_msg0014 | 84 | However, I feel we will need the
cooperation of the other nations
in this matter. |
| 15 | qst202505_msg0015 | 84 | What do you say, Lady Mòrag?
Would you lend me your aid in this? |
| 16 | qst202505_msg0016 | 84 | But of course. |
| 17 | qst202505_msg0017 | 84 | I will report this incident to Mor Ardain,
and advise His Majesty the Emperor to
take suitable preventative action. |
| 18 | qst202505_msg0018 | 84 | You have my thanks, Lady Mòrag.
I leave the Emperor to you, then. |
| 19 | qst202505_msg0019 | 84 | Ah yes, one more thing.
There is a request I would like to
make of you all. |
| 20 | qst202505_msg0020 | 84 | A request? |
| 21 | qst202505_msg0021 | 84 | What's all this about, then? |
| 22 | qst202505_msg0022 | 84 | Enter, please. |
| 23 | qst202505_msg0023 | 84 | Who's that? |
| 24 | qst202505_msg0024 | 84 | Someone you know, Shellhead? |
| 25 | qst202505_msg0025 | 84 | Hmmmm? Can't say I recognize her... |
| 26 | qst202505_msg0026 | 84 | It is a pleasure to meet you, Uncle.
My name is Astelle. |
| 27 | qst202505_msg0027 | 84 | I hope we will get along! |
| 28 | qst202505_msg0028 | 84 | U-Uncle?!
What's going on here, Pops?! |
| 29 | qst202505_msg0029 | 84 | This young lady is the daughter
of your cousin. |
| 30 | qst202505_msg0030 | 84 | It is perhaps no surprise that you were
not aware of her existence. |
| 31 | qst202505_msg0031 | 84 | She was born after you left
this country, after all. |
| 32 | qst202505_msg0032 | 84 | Strictly speaking, that makes us first
cousins once removed. I hope you don't
mind me addressing you as Uncle! |
| 33 | qst202505_msg0033 | 84 | U-uh, I dunno what I'm really meant
to do with a...niece, or cousin, or
whatever you are... |
| 34 | qst202505_msg0034 | 84 | Well, well, well. Isn't this the sweetest
little family reunion...Uncle? |
| 35 | qst202505_msg0035 | 84 | Shaddup, you! |
| 36 | qst202505_msg0036 | 84 | Despite her youth, Astelle is something
of a prodigy who has read all of the
books in the Theosoir library. |
| 37 | qst202505_msg0037 | 84 | I fear she may have begun to grow
tired of living cooped up here in Tantal.
She is quite the spirited young lady. |
| 38 | qst202505_msg0038 | 84 | Most recently, she expressed a desire
to explore the Land of Morytha. |
| 39 | qst202505_msg0039 | 84 | Of course, I told her I could not
possibly allow such a dangerous outing. |
| 40 | qst202505_msg0040 | 84 | But now she is instead insisting on
visiting all the other nations of Alrest,
before they sink entirely. |
| 41 | qst202505_msg0041 | 84 | I believe it was you who said I would
do well to see the world, Your Majesty. |
| 42 | qst202505_msg0042 | 84 | I am simply trying to live up to
your expectations. |
| 43 | qst202505_msg0043 | 84 | You see what I have to deal with? |
| 44 | qst202505_msg0044 | 84 | I don't know where she gets this willful
nature from, but once she sets her mind
on something, there is no changing it. |
| 45 | qst202505_msg0045 | 84 | As such, while I must apologize
for the trouble... |
| 46 | qst202505_msg0046 | 84 | Might I ask you to take her with you
on your trip to Mor Ardain? |
| 47 | qst202505_msg0047 | 84 | Take this girl with us on some
international tour? |
| 48 | qst202505_msg0048 | 84 | We're not just traveling for the
fun of it, you know! |
| 49 | qst202505_msg0049 | 84 | I am quite aware of that,
thank you very much. |
| 50 | qst202505_msg0050 | 84 | But you needn't worry about me.
I won't cause any trouble. |
| 51 | qst202505_msg0051 | 84 | In fact, I might be able to assist
you in some way, Uncle! |
| 52 | qst202505_msg0052 | 84 | E-enough with the uncle thing!
Can't I at least be, like...a big brother
or something?! |
| 53 | qst202505_msg0053 | 84 | Oh, if you insist. Let's have a
lovely trip together, "big bro"! |
| 54 | qst202505_msg0054 | 84 | ... |
| 55 | qst202505_msg0055 | 84 | Wow, Shellhead. I didn't know
you were into that. |
| 56 | qst202505_msg0056 | 84 | Um, my Prince? Forgive my saying so,
but...you're creeping me out a little. |
| 57 | qst202505_msg0057 | 84 | Oh, for the...! |
| 58 | qst202505_msg0058 | 84 | Hey, what's your name? |
| 59 | qst202505_msg0059 | 84 | I am KOS-MOS. |
| 60 | qst202505_msg0060 | 84 | Cosmos? That's a funny sort of name. |
| 61 | qst202505_msg0061 | 84 | You're a Blade, are you? |
| 62 | qst202505_msg0062 | 84 | Yes. |
| 63 | qst202505_msg0063 | 84 | That's a pretty unusual body
you've got there. |
| 64 | qst202505_msg0064 | 84 | It's almost like you're part machine.
Are the machine parts and human parts
connected somehow? |
| 65 | qst202505_msg0065 | 84 | Do you...have some kind of problem
with my body? |
| 66 | qst202505_msg0066 | 84 | Problem? No, no problem. |
| 67 | qst202505_msg0067 | 84 | Hey, would you mind if I tinkered
around with the bits inside? |
| 68 | qst202505_msg0068 | 84 | I cannot permit that. |
| 69 | qst202505_msg0069 | 84 | Even if my Master were to order me
directly, I could not comply. |
| 70 | qst202505_msg0070 | 84 | I thought you might say that...
A shame, a shame. |
| 71 | qst202505_msg0071 | 84 | Oh, well! It's going to be a pleasure
traveling with you, KOS-MOS! |
| 72 | qst202505_msg0072 | 84 | I look forward to it, Astelle. |
| 73 | qst202505_msg0073 | 84 | Shall we leave at once, then? |
| 74 | qst202505_msg0074 | 84 | Come on, "big bro," you lead the way! |
| 75 | qst202505_msg0075 | 84 | Urkkk... |
| 76 | qst202505_msg0076 | 84 | What're you making that look for...
"big bro"? |
| 77 | qst202505_msg0077 | 84 | We're leaving you behind, "big bro"! |
| 78 | qst202505_msg0078 | 84 | Will you all give it a rest already! |
