Fai: I can't die. // Until I have brought Fai back to life, // until I return this name, / return this life to him.
Ashura: In that case, you have no choice but to kill him. / Isn't that right?

4
Ashura: And then, / I must have you fulfil my wish.

Fai: This is... // A feather... of memories...? // Just as he said... its power is amazing. // This is for Fai...

7
Fai: (Rather than a feather, I will forge this into a human form. // So that even when I am not there, she can be by Fai's side. // The other is for when I set out on my journey...) // I wonder what sort of people they will be. // ...... // (It has nothing to do... / ...with me.)

8
Fai: (Even if we are to journey together... / we're not the same.)
Civilians: Thank you so much, Wizard-sama! // As expected of such an incredible wizard. You deserve the title of "D".
Fai: ...No, that's fine. // I'm just glad that nobody was hurt.

9
Child: Thank you! // But, I'd be happier if you would just smile~!
Mother: What are you saying...?! / I'm so very sorry.
Fai: I'm not very good at smiling. // I'm not used to it.

10
Child: It'll be fine if you just practice! // See, like this~!
Guard1: Welcome back.
Fai: Yes, quite.
Guard2: It's really cold these days...
Guard1: No point complaining, it's not like there's anything we can do about that.

11
Guard2: Even if we can't, I ought to be able to at least say it!
Guards: You just smiled, didn't you?!
Fai: Was it odd?
Guard2: No! It's great!
Guard1: You should smile more often! // Ashura-ou will be pleased as well!

12
Fai: The king, too... // Hello, I've just got back.
Ashura: Welcome home. // You stopped the avalanche in the western valley, did you?
Fai: How do you know that?
Ashura: I just know.

13
Ashura: Even if you are far away... / Even if you were in another world, I could feel it. // Your magic. // It's the truth, Fai. // Even if you were to lose yourself in another world, // I would be able to find you.

14
Fai: What do you want me to do? // What is the thing you said you wanted to request of me?

15
Ashura: ...I wonder... // Do you truly love Celes?
Fai: ...Ashura-ou?
Ashura: Do you love this country?
Fai: Yes. // Everyone is very kind. / And also... // ...they allow me to stay here.
Ashura: In that case...

16
Ashura: If something were to happen to this country, would you use your magic for its sake?
Fai: ...But if somebody with magical powers... / powers greater than my own were to appear in this country...
Ashura: Your curse would force you to kill them. // I cannot remove that curse. / But I can at least restrain it. // Your magic becomes more powerful the more you use it, however...

17
Ashura: If you place this mark on your body, // Until the seal is removed, your power will be kept at its current level. // Though if I were to die, // its power would vanish.
Fai: If you were to die...
Ashura: All people die. / Someday.

18
Ashura: If somebody causes harm to this country's people, // I want you to destroy that person. // No matter who that person may be.
Fai: ...King?
Ashura: That is my wish.

19
Fai: ...I will do so. // For as long as I am in this world.
Ashura: Thank you, Fai.
Ashura: You made me a promise. // If somebody brings harm to this country, to its people, you must...
Fai: Kill him.

Kurogane: Let's put an end to this nonsense.
