ワールドマップ

Eirika and company pursue the thief who
stole her bracelet.▼
Their chase leads them into the mountains,
where Bazba's Bandits pillage at will.▼
Eirika cannot ignore her countrymen's pleas
for help.▼
She leads her group in search of the
bandit's stronghold.▼

オープニング

Seth:

The local villagers tell me that
Bazba's Bandits keep their lair nearby.▼
A few of them saw a lad matching the
description of our bracelet thief.▼
It seems a fair guess that the youth
is one of these bandits.▼

Eirika:

Bandits... Here in Renais, our homeland.
I had no idea...▼
Burning our villages... Stealing from
our people with no fear of reprisal?▼

Seth:

It wasn't always like this. The knights
used to protect the citizenry...▼
However, with Renais in ruins and her army
tattered, law and order are hard to find.▼
It doesn't look like the Grado army is
interested in maintaining order here.▼
If nothing changes, Renais will continue
this sad plunge into savagery.▼

Eirika:

......▼

Neimi:

Uh... Hello?▼
Pardon me for asking...▼
but are you all some sort
of...mercenary troop?▼

Eirika:

Why do you ask?▼

Neimi:

P-p-please, you have to help
Colm. You have to!▼
I told him it was too dangerous,
but he wouldn't listen to me!▼

Eirika:

Please, you must calm yourself. Start
at the beginning, and speak slowly.▼

Neimi:

All right... Sniff.▼
I'm Neimi.▼
I'm from... I used to be from
a village named Lark...▼
Except the village is gone.▼

Eirika:

Gone? What
do you mean?▼

Neimi:

Bazba's Bandits burned it down.
Only Colm and I escaped.▼
The other villagers...
The bandits attacked them and...▼

Eirika:

......▼

Seth:

Neimi, what are you doing here?▼

Neimi:

Bazba's Bandits... They have a
hideout here in these mountains.▼
That's where Colm...▼
Um, Colm's my...uh... We've know
each other since we were kids.▼
He went to steal back something
the bandits took from me...▼

Eirika:

He went alone? That's a
very dangerous thing...▼

Neimi:

Yes, I know. Th-that's what I told
him, but he wouldn't listen to me.▼
If I lose Colm, too, I don't know...
I... I'll...sniff...▼

Eirika:

Wait, please don't cry.▼
Don't worry. We'll find your friend
and see that he's not harmed.▼

Neimi:

Really? Really and truly?
Oh, thank you! Thank you!!!▼
I... I don't have much money,
but...I'll do anything to help.▼

Seth:

Your Highness? What will it be?▼

Eirika:

If the thief we're after has gone
to the bandits' lair as well...▼
Well, it seems as though we share
a common cause with Neimi.▼
She is a citizen of Renais, after all.▼
And isn't it our duty to defend our
countrymen?▼
I'm only sad that we weren't here to
protect her friends and neighbors...▼
So, yes, I feel we must help her.▼

Seth:

Very well. Neimi, I trust
you can lead the way?▼

Neimi:

Er, yes...
It's this way.▼

Neimi:

Um... Is there anything I can do
to help? I feel so...▼
When I was little I used to go
hunting with my grandfather.▼
What I mean is I can--
I'm not bad with a bow.▼

Seth:

Really?▼

Neimi:

Uh-huh.▼

Seth:

I see.▼
You should remain behind and
protect Princess Eirika.▼

Bazba:

Hm. Not sure who's out there, but
it looks like we've got guests.▼
Let's give 'em a warm welcome, lads.
You see a stranger, stick an axe in him!▼

ENEMY PHASE1終了時

Colm:

And here we go!▼
Ha! And not a soul saw me. These
bandits are easy picking.▼
I guess I might as well start
with these chests here.▼

話す

ネイミー→コーマ

Neimi:

C-Colm...▼

Colm:

Neimi?!
What are you doing here?▼
I told you to wait for me,
didn't I?▼

Neimi:

I couldn't... It's too dangerous.▼
C'mon, let's go home.▼

Colm:

We don't have a home! Don't you get it?
Look, just leave everything to me.▼
I can take care of it in a flash, but I don't
need a clumsy oaf like you tagging alone.▼

Neimi:

But...but...▼

Colm:

Oh, this is ridiculous.▼
We'll talk later. Don't
leave my side, Neimi.▼

Neimi:

I-- All right.▼

戦闘

バズバ初戦時

Bazba:

I'm the head of this bandit
pack, the mighty Bazba!▼
Hope you've enjoyed your life,
'cuz it's about to end!▼

バズバ撃破時

Bazba:

I'm the...mighty...Bazba...
This...ain't--▼

クリア後

Neimi:

C-Colm...▼

Colm:

What now? I told you not to worry.▼
I could've robbed these bandits blind
on my own, thank you very much.▼

Neimi:

I was...
worried...▼

Colm:

H-hold on! I'm sorry!
C'mon! Don't start bawling!▼

Neimi:

Aaah...sniff...▼
No more...dangerous stuff...
by yourself...▼

Colm:

Fine, fine. I promise.▼
But you have to stop crying
all the time. All right?▼

Neimi:

Uh-huh...▼

Colm:

Oh, yeah. Take a
look at this.▼

Neimi:

Hm?▼

Colm:

I got your mirror back.▼
Remember how you cried when we left
Lark? You thought you'd lost this.▼
I knew it was your mother's, and I
knew those thugs had taken it.▼
So I went and got it back!▼
See what happens when you give
me a job? Guaranteed results!▼

Neimi:

Colm...▼
Aa... Waaah...
Colm...▼

Colm:

Hey! Wh-why are you
crying this time?▼
C'mon! Stop! Knock it
off! Please, Neimi...▼

Seth:

...This is quite touching, but...▼
I think you'd best return Princess
Eirika's bracelet to her now.▼

Colm:

Wh-what are you talking about?
Are you trying to say that I--▼
Whoa! Whoa there! Hold it!
It's right here! Take it!▼

Seth:

......▼
Tell me, boy, is this the path
you've chosen for your life?▼
If this girl matters to you,
you must quit this dark road.▼

Colm:

Uh, yeah... Right.▼

Seth:

We're leaving. Do not expect
to be rescued again.▼
Farewell.▼

Colm:

...Hey, wait!▼
Let us go with you. You
can't just leave us here.▼

Seth:

Pardon?▼

Colm:

Neimi and I... We've got no home
to return to.▼
No matter where we go, there's
just gonna be more fighting.▼
You're mercenaries, right?
Well, then take us with you.▼
I'm a handy guy to have around.
I know I can help you out.▼

Seth:

I would prefer not, but I'll agree
with Eirika's decision.▼
Our duty is grave one however. We've
no time to waste shepherding you.▼

Colm:

That's fine with us.▼
You just wait--I promise you
won't regret your decision.▼

Seth:

I retrieved your bracelet from
the bandit's stronghold.▼
Here you are, Princess.▼

Eirika:

Thank you, Seth.▼
You know... Father gave me this
bracelet when I was a child.▼
It has only one match in the
world, and my brother wears it.▼

Seth:

Lady Eirika, you must take care never to
lose that bracelet.▼
It is the proof that King Fado entrusted
the future of Renais to you, his children.▼

Eirika:

Seth... What is it you're
not telling me?▼

Seth:

...I apologize, Your Highness.▼
When the time comes, I will tell
you what I know. Until then, I...▼

Eirika:

I see.▼
If you tell me it must wait,
then it can wait. I trust you.▼

Seth:

Then we should get moving again.▼
We're safe from bandits for now,
but I can't guarantee for how long.▼

Eirika:

This... This is just the beginning,
isn't it?
If we hope to free our homeland, it
will take battle after battle...▼

Seth:

I'm afraid so, Your Highness.▼
The day you and Prince Ephraim win back
the freedom and honor of Renais will come.▼
But I fear it lies at the end of a long
and treacherous road.▼

Eirika:

I know. I must fight for that day.▼
In the names of akk those I could
not save, I'll lead us home.▼
Let's go. My brother awaits!▼

Selena:

General Duessel.▼

Duessel:

Selena. Have you been back long?▼
Tell me, how fares the campaign
in Renais?▼

Selena:

Signs of chaos abound.▼
Brigands ride without fear, and
the peasant's cries fill the air.▼

Duessel:

Hmm...▼
If Grado's troops do not enforce public
order, the situation will only worsen.▼
And still, His Majesty has given us
no orders.▼
Perhaps, just this once, I should
take the lead...▼

Glen:

What could His Majesty be thinking?▼
Breaking our long-held alliance with
Renais--invading without warning...▼
He's never been this way before. He
abhors violence.▼

Selena:

......▼

Glen:

And have you noticed the recent
promotions? Who are they going to?▼
Certainly not to the soldiers who
have Grado's best interests at heart.▼
I fear this invasion is the prelude
to a much larger war.▼
I feel as though His Majesty is no
longer the man we knew him to be.▼

Selena:

Glen, it doesn't matter what any
of us might think of our orders.▼
We are his servants, and we will not
question His Majesty's intentions.▼

Glen:

I know that, Selena.
And yet...▼

Duessel:

That's enough. Both of you.
His Majesty summons us.▼
Let's hope we can learn a
little during our audience.▼

Vigarde:

...I appreciate your work in
fulfilling your previous orders.▼
You are the hammers that drive
the nails of the empire's will...▼
You will continue to operate
...without hesitation...▼
wherever I send you.▼

Duessel:

By your command.▼

Selena:

In Your Majesty's name.▼

Glen:

Yes, sire...▼

Vigarde:

...However, I know this...▼
You, my Imperial Three, lack the strength
to conquer the remaining nations alone.▼
In the invasion of Renais, certain
soldiers performed beyond expectation.▼
I have chosen them to join you as
new generals in the empire's service.▼
...Come.▼
...The performance of these
men surpassed even your own.▼
With the addition of these three...▼
The empire will have six generals
strong enough to conquer this land.▼
Do you understand?▼

Rive:

Heh heh heh...▼
I am Riev, given the name
Blood Beryl by His Majesty.▼
I know I am a newcomer, but
I pray for your favor.▼

Duessel:

...Understood.▼

Caellach:

I'm Caellach. I was a mercenary,
fighting in the desert.▼
Seems I'm to be called
Tiger Eye...▼
You're a fine-lookin' lass, aren't you?
Yeah, I'm gonna love working with you.▼

Selena:

......▼

Valter:

So we meet again. You know me as General
Valter, but you will call me the Moonstone.▼
I'll save you worthless dogs from your
own incompetence. You'll thank me later.▼

Glen:

Valter... You scum!▼

Duessel:

Peace, Glen.▼

Vigarde:

Selena. Caellach. You will
bring me Frelia.▼

Selena:

Yes, sire.▼

Caellach:

Sure. Good as done.▼

Vigrade:

Riev. Duessel. You are charged with
the defense of the empire.▼
...I will speak to you individually
with more details later.▼

Riev:

Heh heh heh...
Understood, Your Majesty.▼

Duessel:

By your command, sire.▼

Valter:

And me?▼

Vigarde:

Valter, Glen...
I have other duties for you...▼

Glen:

Yes, Your Majesty?▼

Vigrade:

Renais has fallen, but Princess Eirika
still eludes us...▼
Her brother, Prince Ephraim, leads
a resistance within our borders.▼
Bring the siblings to me.▼

Valter:

Ha ha... Of course.▼

Glen:
