Tales of Xillia ~Side;Milla~
Chapter 4 "Even so, they move onwards"
Pg. 1
** The group arrives at the hidden village, Nia Khera. **

Pg. 2-3
People - Oh...!
Lord Maxwell...!!

Milla - Ivar!
Where's Ivar!?

Alvin - So this is Nia Khera...
It's plainer than I thought.

Milla - I'll perform the resummoning ritual of the Four Greater Spirit at my shrine.
People - [Lord Maxwell!!]
[Lord Maxwell's here!]
Milla - The ritual will start as soon as everything's ready.
Jude - If everything goes well...you'll be able to regain your power, right?
Milla - Yes.

People - Lord Maxwell!!
Lord Maxwell!!!
Lord...

Alvin - Whoa. She's really Maxwell after all, huh?
Jude - Guess you're right...

Pg. 4
Head - Lady Milla.
Ivar went out since you have not come back for a long time,
and has yet to return.

Milla - ...He's still as rash as ever.

Alright then.
You all can resume to your work.
Head - Yes ma'am.

Milla - Let's go.
Alvin - You're not going to go search for that Ivar guy?
Milla - No.

Usually, the only one who comes in contact at me is the Oracle, Ivar...
So there's no need to think of that.
Can you two lend me some hands though?

Jude - Can we really help you with that task though?
Milla - Yes, certainly.

Pg. 5
To resummon the spirits,
I need the stones called the Spirealm Stones.
They're enshrined at the four corners of this village...
Can you help carry them to my shrine?
== I know it's lame. I can't think of a word that means "Spirit Realm", so I combined the word...

Jude - Got it.
Alvin - Just leave the labor work to us.
Milla - Fufu, that's assuring.

...Oh,
and Jude,
I'll ask the villagers about you after the ritual.
I'll arrange it so that you can live in this village.
But I'd like you to wait for just a little more until the ritual is completed.

Pg. 6
Jude - ...Right.

Milla - I'll head to the shrine now.
The task is in your hands.

Alvin - Well then,
since everything's all set, I'll take my leave too, Jude.

Jude - Eh? You're not helping me carry those stones?
Alvin - Aw, I'll be right back.
Jude - [You're too close.]

...Where are you going?

Pg. 7
Alvin - Oh c'mon, there's only one place men want to go alone, no?
Or do you want to go too, Jude?
Jude - If it's the toilet, then you should just say so.
Alvin - Right. Well, later then.

[Milla's Shrine]

Jude - This should do now, right?

Milla - Yes.

Alvin - But...
after walking around in the village, I can see that they really worship you.

Pg. 8
Milla - The villagers here are all descendents of the first follower of Maxwell,
the sorcerer who created this world, Kresnik.
That's why they never forget the creed of Maxwell,
and accept my mission of protecting the world.

Alvin - I see...

I heard from the villagers as well.
That Lady Milla has grown up without eating or sleeping at all for 20 years ever since she descends down to this village.
"That's the miracle of Lord Maxwell~"...they said.
Milla - Yes, that's the truth.
The villagers see me as the symbol of faith.

Even so, this is the body of human.
I didn't have to eat or sleep up until now thanks to the power of the Greater Spirits,
but as I've already lost their power, I have to take in energy like normal people.

Pg. 10
Alvin - But why did you have to turn into a human 20 years ago?

Jude - 20 years ago...wasn't that when the Grand Lost happened?
Alvin - Grand...what?
Jude - People used to be able to use the power of the Four Greater Spirits, but one day, that power is gone, and the world was in panic.

Alvin - And it was 20 years ago when Milla became a human...
Jude - Then...could the cause of the Grand Lost be...

Milla - Yes, it was me.

I took form of human in order to destory the Jin, which was discovered at that time, and to protect the world.
The Grand Lost happened because the Greater Spirits came to work under me exclusively.

Pg. 10
Alvin - Are you kidding me...?
Milla - Why would I?

...However, as those fours aren't here, so I can't possibly prove it to you...

Jude - I believe what you said though.
...Either way, since everything's all set now, shouldn't you give it a try?
Milla - You're right.

Pg. 11
...Ngh.
Jude - Milla!

Pg. 12-13
Ivar - LADY MILLA!

I've returned!
Milla - Ivar...?

Ivar - This is...the Grand Four Revival Ceremony?
Why is it performed right now...?

Lord Efreet!
Lady Undine!

No one is here...
Milla - ...It seems that the summoning failed...

Pg. 14
Jude - Is it actually possible for it to fail?
Milla - To be more precise...they didn't respond.
Jude - You mean they're dead?

Ivar - Fool. Like the Greater Spirits can ever die!

Alvin - Huh? Is that so?
Ivar - The Greater Spirit will turn into stones once they die, the same way as Lesser Spirit.
However, their power will be passed onto the next Greater Spirit!

Jude - ...so they said. No one has ever seen it though.
Alvin - Oh~ OK.

Ivar - Hmph.
Dwellers of Netherworld whose existence do never cease are what spirits are.

Pg. 15
Jude - ...Then maybe
the Four Greater Spirits are trapped inside that machine.

Ivar - Are you insane!
There's no way humans can ever capture the Four Greater Spirits!
Jude - But those Greater Spirits fail to respond to the calling of their master, no?
If there's no other possibility, even the impossible can become the possible truth.

Alvin - If you place an egg in an empty space and it breaks,
what breaks it must be inside that egg...

"The Egg Theory of Hao", huh?
That's the honor student for you.

Pg. 16
Milla - That Jin is powerful enough to even capture the Greater Spirits...?

[That...]

[was when I lost my power as Maxwell...]

Jude - ...Milla?

Pg. 17
Ivar - Now! Outta here, you two!
This is the holy place!
And the one who can take care of Lady Milla is me...the Oracle!

Milla - Ivar, you can leave too.
Ivar - Huh?
Milla - I'll be frank with you now.

You're annoying.

Pg. 18
Jude - ...I wonder what will she do next.

Alvin - If the summoning fails, then that means Milla is a normal girl now, isn't she?
Ivar - Say what!?
Lady Milla will always be Maxwell!

Jude - Maybe she'll head for La Schugall again...

Alvin - That's like making an entire nation her enemy though. It's just too much.

Pg. 19
Milla - I never thought...
the time when I can no longer use the power of the Four Greater Spirits will come...
not even in my dream.

Pg. 20
That woman we met at the Kijara Seafalls...and La Schugall soldiers at Hamill,
there's no doubt those people were after me because of the key for the Spear of Kresnik.

I'll need this to rescue the Four Greater Spirits too...hm.

Even if I have to go alone...

I'll do it.

Pg. 21
*creek*

Jude - What's the matter, Milla? Aren't you going to take some rest?

Milla - That's my line, Jude. You haven't returned to the village yet?
Jude - No.
Milla - Hmph...
Well then, let's head back to the village and ask the villagers about you.

Milla - ...What's wrong?
You seem to be thinking of something.
Jude - Ah, well...

I was thinking...
of what you'll do from now on...
Are you going back to Fennmont to destroy that Spear of Kresnik?

Pg. 22
Milla - I am.

Considering what happened to the Greater Spirits and those people who got their mana drained out from them,
I guess the Spear of Kresnik is the weapon which collects and utilizes mana.
They might not be able to use it as of now, but I believe they're still gathering the manas.

Jude - And...
you're going alone?
[She's...seriously strong.]

Milla - You're talking in circle, Jude.
What is it you want to say?

Pg. 23
Jude - Can I go with you,
together?

Milla - ...You lost your normal lifestyle because of me, right?
Have you not regret over it at all?

Jude - Yeah...
to be honest, I have
a little.

I've been down, regretting...
of why things have to turn out like this,
back onboard that ship and in Hamill.

Pg. 25
But while I was all crushed,
you never stop to move on forward.

What would you do,
now that you've lost your power,

and the spirits?

Mission or not, normal people would've given up by now.
It's just impossible.
You might die from it, you know?

But
you never give up...

Pg. 25
When I look at you, I just realize
[I should also]
[be able to find my own mission.]
that no matter how regretful you are, what's gone is gone...

So I was thinking that right now...
[I want to stay]

[with this person a little more.]
what I can do is to help you.

Pg. 26
Milla - You're really a busybody.
[Together...hm?]

Either way, let's head back to the village.
If you have yet to change your mind once we get there, I shall accept your proposal.
Milla - ...Thanks, Milla.

Alvin - Yo, sure took you long enough. Milla's with you too, huh?

Jude - Alvin...
I decided that I'll go with Milla.

Pg. 27
Alvin - Hey now...
what's with this change of heart...? Didn't you regret being with her?
Jude - Well...but I've already decided that I'll help Milla.

Alvin - Oh, right.

Milla - Alvin, thanks for everything.
...That's right. I almost forgot.
Alvin - Hm? The payment, you mean?

About that, I already got it from the head of the village though.
He even said "Thank you so much for protecting Lord Maxwell".

Milla - You really helped us.

Alvin - Yeah.

Milla - Farewell then, Alvin.
Alvin - Yeah, see ya.

Pg. 28
Jude - That's...kind of quick though.
Milla - Isn't that what mercenary is like?
Jude - Guess you're right.

Ivar - LADY MILLA~~!

Are you going to be away to some place again, ma'am?
Milla - Yes, take a good care of here while I'm away.
Ivar - Then please allow me, your oracle, to accompany you as well.

I cannot possibly let you be in the care of some nobody!

Milla - Ivar, what is your mission!

Ivar - Eh, oh, my mission...is to take a good care of Lady Milla!

Milla - Is that all?

Pg. 29
Ivar - And to...protect defenseless citizens of Nia Khera...

Milla - Do you understand now? I already have Jude to accompany me on my mission,
so you do your other mission.
Ivar - But...it's because of him that the Four Greater Spirits-!

Milla - That was my own mistake.
More importantly, if Jude wasn't there, I might not even be able to return to Nia Khera.

Jude - Milla...
Ivar - But!

Milla - You already have your mission yet you're going to discard it?
Ivar.

Ivar - ...No, ma'am.
[I should be the one who's with Lady Milla...]
[yet what's with this guy?]

Pg. 30
Milla - Let's go then, Jude.
I hope they didn't seal off the port yet.
Ivar - Lady Milla!

Milla - ...Now what?

Ivar - You've forgotten something.

Your sword...As you currently are unable to use the power of the Greater Spirits, this should be of use to you.

Milla - Hm...
you're right.

Pg. 31
[I have lost my power.]
[Will I really be able to fulfill my mission?]
[Am I feeling unsecured?]
[That isn't the problem.]
[And it's not the matter of can or cannot do...]
[To destroy Jin and protect this world]
[is the reason why I came to this world 20 years ago...]
[It's my mission.]

Pg. 32
[I just have to do it.]
Let's go.

Ivar - I...I bid you a safe journey, Lady Milla!

Pg. 34
Gaius - ...Is that woman Maxwell?

Preza, has she really lost her power?
Preza - Yes, sir.

Wingull - It's possible that she had already hidden the key elsewhere. That'll be a problem.
Preza - Sorry. I didn't give enough thoughts into it.

Jyao - If only had I noticed that she was in Hamill,
I would have her spit out the whereabouts of the key too.

Gaius - Don't mind it. It is better for us to let her swim on for now.
Wingull - Yes.
It would be best if we proceed in the shadow,
while the La Schugall has their attention on her.

Gaius - Have you receive any contact from Agria?
Wingull - ...She said they are in the middle of making a new key to replace the lost one.

Pg. 34
Gaius - ...I shall not stay idle then.

Wingull - Jyao, you don't have to guard that girl anymore.
Search for the key's whereabouts.
Jyao - Erm, but I...

Wingull - Now that the La Schugall soldiers have left, there's no need for you to stick close to her.
Preza - The data is safe, so there should be no surprise if there's a change in priority task.

Jyao - U-Ummm...

Wingull - Preza,
contact Agria and sneak into Fennmont.
Preza - Oh? Don't need to care about Maxwell now?
Wingull - Yes.
We still have our pawn. We can have him find the whereabouts of the key...

** Who is that man...!? The mysterious third force made their appearance!! **
