Ch.19: Last Hope

北米版ファイアーエムブレム聖魔の光石「the Sacred Stones」の章会話（エフラム編19章：残されし希望）。

ワールドマップ

The Sacred Stone of Renais has been
broken.▼
Constant strife with dark creatures has
made the group's progress near impossible.▼
Princess L'Arachel of Rausten suggests they
pay a visit to Rausten Court.▼
It is here that the final Sacred Stone
is sealed away.▼
L'Arachel rides cheerfully toward her homeland
with the company in tow.▼

オープニング

L'Arachel:

Home at last.▼
My dear, sweet palace.▼
Uncle, I've returned.▼

Mansel:

Oh, L'Arachel! It's good
to see you safe!▼

L'Arachel:

Of course I'm safe, Uncle.▼
Evil can never defeat the
forces of righteousness!▼

Mansel:

Ha! You're exactly right, my dear!▼
Now tell me, who are our guests?▼

Eirika:

Pontifex Mansel of Rausten, allow
me to introduce myself.▼
I am Eirika, Princess of Renais.▼
I come to you today as an
emissary of Frelia.▼

Ephraim:

And I am Ephraim, Prince of Renais.▼
I come with Eirika to warn you of
the danger our world faces.▼

Eirika:

It began when...▼

Mansel:

...Hmm, I see.▼
That is a tough tale to swallow
all at once...▼
However, I have heard of the fell
creatures in Darkling Woods.▼
L'Arachel.▼
You will need the Stone of Rausten
if we have any hope of victory.▼

L'Arachel:

That is so, Uncle.▼
I would like permission
to open the temple seal.▼

Mansel:

Hmm... There's no need to
rush yourself so, L'Arachel.▼
You're home again, in this
blessed haven. You should rest.▼

L'Arachel:

How can I relax until I know that
our Sacred Stone is safe?▼
At the least, I'd like to ensure
that the temple seal is intact.▼
Oh...▼

Mansel:

Is something amiss?▼

L'Arachel:

I think we'll take a night to rest
after all. Everyone is so exhausted.▼
My dear friend Eirika especially has
had a very trying time of late.▼

※ターナが生存している場合

Ephraim:

......▼

Tana:

Come on, Ephraim, cheer up.▼

Ephraim:

What are you talking about, Tana?▼
There's nothing wrong with
me. I'm always like this.▼

Tana:

That's not true.▼
I've never seen you look so
sad as you do right now.▼
If you're depressed, I'm sure
my brother would worry...▼
And I...well, I...▼

Ephraim:

......▼
Tana. You're the princess of Frelia.▼
Perhaps it's unwise of you to be so
friendly to Eirika and me.▼
After all, alliances aside, our two
countries' needs may differ.▼
Who knows what the future holds? Those
ties could snap in an instant...▼

Tana:

No! Don't say that!▼

Ephraim:

And why not?▼

Tana:

You and Eirika are both my friends.▼
We come from different countries,
it's true, but...but...▼
No matter what happens, the friendship
I feel for you will never change!▼

Ephraim:

......▼
I'm sorry, Tana.▼
I wasn't thinking straight.
Please don't cry.▼

Tana:

Ephraim...▼

Ephraim:

You're right, though.▼
No matter what happens, the bond
between us will never disappear.▼
And it's because Lyon is my friend
that I have to put an end to this.▼
Thank you, Tana.▼

※ターナが死亡している場合

Ephraim:

......▼

L'Arachel:

That long face doesn't
suit you at all.▼
Has you at all.
Has something happened?▼

Ephraim:

L'Arachel...▼
No, this is how I always am.▼

L'Arachel:

Lying to the daughter of a holy
man is grave sin, don't you know?▼
If you would like to talk, I would
like to listen...▼

Ephraim:

......▼
I'm sorry.
I can't talk about it.▼
I'm not even planning on telling
Eirika what happened.▼

L'Arachel:

You're so stubborn, aren't you?▼
Do you plan on shouldering the
entire burden yourself?▼

Ephraim:

I'm sorry.▼

L'Arachel:

If that's all you're going to say,
then there's naught I can do.▼
Have you already decided on your
course of action?▼

Ephraim:

......▼
Mm-hm. I'm prepared.▼

L'Arachel:

Well...▼
There's no need for me to
say anything more, is there?▼
You and I are so alike...
You want nothing but to help others.▼
You refuse to show weakness, and you
want to accomplish everything yourself.▼
However, you must know that there are
times when you must share the burden.▼

Ephraim:

That's true...▼
And I feel better for having spoken
with you. Thank you, L'Arachel.▼

Riev (Offscreen):

Heh heh heh...▼
Guard duty? At this time of night?
Such a diligent soldier.▼

Soldier:

Huh?!
Who goes there?▼

Riev (Offscreen):

Where are you looking?▼
I'm over here.▼

Soldier:

Wha...▼

Riev (Offscreen):

No, no, here.
I'm over here.▼

Riev (Offscreen):

What's wrong? I'm right here.
Heh heh heh...▼

Soldier:

Wha...wha...▼

Riev (Offscreen):

Is the darkness too deep
for you to penetrate?▼
Can't you see what the
night is hiding?▼

Soldier:

A-attack!▼

Riev:

Heh heh heh...
Humans will never conquer darkness.▼
This guardian of light, Rausten, will
drown in a never-ending night.▼
Come, my pretties. It's time to go.▼
The day of Rausten's destruction
has at long last arrived!▼

Soldier:

Your Holiness! There's been an attack!▼
We think it's Grado's men, fleeing
from Frelia's forces.▼
However, they've breached the palace
defenses at multiple points.▼

Mansel:

What?!▼

Soldier:

The imperial guard is at a terrible
disadvantage of numbers right now.▼
It's less a battle than a slaughter.▼
I'm not sure they will be able to hold
out until the Knights of Rausten arrive.▼

Mansel:

How has this happened?▼
Our sacred capital invaded?
I must...▼

L'Arachel:

Uncle, please, you must keep yourself
safe. We can take care of this.▼
Is everyone ready to go?▼

Seth:

Prince Ephraim, we'll
take care of this.▼
Please...▼

Eirika:

Brother...▼

Ephraim:

I'm sorry. I've been useless
and worse lately.▼
I'm over it now. I'm ready
to fight.▼
Let's go! Take out the enemy,
and protect Pontifex Mansel!▼

イベント

PLAYER PHASE1開始直前

Riev:

Heh heh heh...▼
The day is coming, and swiftly... The
day of our triumph, our vengeance!▼
Self-righteous fools of Rausten! Where
are your miracles now?!▼
March on! March, minions of the Demon
King! Your time is upon you!▼
Tonight, we claim not only Pontifex Mansel's
sad life, but also Rausten's Sacred Stone!▼
Heh heh heh... You cretin, Mansel...
I will have my revenge.▼
You should never have excommunicated me.
The Demon King will be your new master!▼

PLAYER PHASE1開始直前

Ephraim:

Lyon is my friend.▼
No matter what has happened,
that one fact will not change.▼
I know this. I will not falter
in my resolve.▼
Lyon, because I'm your friend,
I will strike you down.▼

マンセルのHPが0になった時

Mansel:

The light...
Will drown in darkness?▼

戦闘

アーヴ初戦時

Riev:

Heh heh heh...
One Sacred Stone remains.▼
Once it is destroyed, darkness
will consume the world.▼
What will you do? Will you
cower in fear? Heh heh heh...▼

アーヴ撃破時

Riev:

Heh heh heh...
No! No!▼
It's been so long.
I got carried away.▼
I'd best stop and withdraw
for now.▼
Follow me. Come to
Darkling Woods...▼
The Demon King awaits
your pleasure...▼

クリア後

Ephraim:

That takes care of that.▼

Tana:

Ephraim!▼
I'd glad to see that
your spirits are up.▼

Ephraim:

Ah, Tana.▼
And I have you to
thank for it.▼

Tana:

It was nothing.▼
As long as you're back
to your old self,▼
that is thanks enough.▼

L'Arachel:

I'm holding it in my very hand!
The Stone of Rausten!▼
Its glorious radiance suits my
complexion, wouldn't you say?▼

Ephraim:

This is it. The last one. The
last remaining Sacred Stone.▼

L'Arachel:

It is. And the time to defeat
the Demon King draws near.▼

Eirika:

We should be leaving.▼
We have to act before those
creatures gain more momentum.▼

Myrrh:

Yes. We should make haste.▼
The poison spreads. It is
growing ever stronger.▼

Ephraim:

Where?▼

Myrrh:

Darkling Woods...▼
Where the Demon King fell...▼

Mansel:

L'Arachel, must you leave
so soon?▼
You've only just returned,
and you have to leave?▼

L'Arachel:

Uncle, defeating evil is the
highest calling I can perform.▼

Mansel:

Of course, my dear. It is
a divine calling, but...▼

L'Arachel:

You needn't worry, Uncle.▼
After all, I'm not on my
own. I have my friends.▼

Mansel:

I see.▼
You've been blessed, L'Arachel.
Blessed with many good friends.▼

L'Arachel:

I am indeed, Uncle.▼
And they, in turn, are
blessed with me!▼
Farewell, Uncle.
I shall return.▼
Once evil has been vanquished,
we'll all return safe and sound.▼

Mansel:

Hold on. Not
so fast now.▼
I have something else for
Prince Ephraim as well.▼

Ephraim:

For me?▼

Mansel:

That's right, Prince. I'd like
you to accept this gift.▼

Ephraim:

But this is...▼

L'Arachel:

Oh! Aren't those...▼
Aren't those the Sacred
Twins of Rausten?▼

Mansel:

That's right, dear niece.▼
These are the weapons of Saint Latona,
most holy father of Rausten.▼
Here, we have glorious Ivaldi, and its
twin, the divine Staff of Latona.▼
I will also space some funding to feed
and arm your forces.▼
After all, there is much that you must
do before you leave these halls.▼

（Got Ivaldi）
（Got Latona）
（Got 10,000 Gold）
L'Arachel:

So they are the blessed Latona's
most sacred relics...▼
Is this allowed?▼

Mansel:

I know the law, L'Arachel. The relics
must never leave the temple,▼
with the sole exception of the
occasional ascension ceremony,▼
but I think that, when the world needs
saving, we can make the odd exception.▼

L'Arachel:

That's my uncle!▼

Mansel:

You will return them, of course...
once you've finished your task.▼
Prince Ephraim, I would
have your oath on this.▼

Ephraim:

Of course.▼

L'Arachel:

But Darkling Woods is home to naught
but demons now.▼
Indeed, I hear tell that none who
enter its borders ever leave again.▼
We ought to stock up on supplies
in town before we set out.▼

Ephraim:

Yes, I think stocking up would
be in our best interest.▼
I intend to see that we all
return unharmed.▼

※ロストン兵が6体以上生存していた場合のみ追加

Soldier:

Princess L'Arachel!▼

L'Arachel:

My beloved countrymen!▼
The combat was fierce, but you
protected the palace honorably.▼
The valorous Knights of Rausten
shall live on in story and song!▼

Soldier:

Thank you, my lady. As always,
it is our honor to serve.▼
Prince Ephrai, before you
go, please take this sword.▼
We pray for your swift and
safe return!▼

Ephraim:

As I pray for your safety, too.▼
I won't let your valorous deeds
be wasted this day!▼

L'Arachel:

As long as the righteousness of
justice fills our hearts,▼
how can we lose? Men, I ask that
you watch after my dear uncle.▼

Soldier:

You have our world, my lady. In the
twin names of justice and order!▼
