Chapter 7 “The Arrow of Resolve”
Pg. 1
** They carved the same past and walk towards the same dream. **

Pg. 2
** As the party work to purify the malevolence in the city… **

Alisha – Looks like we’ve taken down every drake’s clones in our sight.
Lailah – The malevolence around the city seems to clear up as well.

Sorey – But the drake doesn’t seem to be coming down at all…

What to do now…

Pg. 3
Alisha – S-Sorey! Your face…
Sorey – Huh?
Oh…

Well, that Mikleo,
He does pack a heavy punch for someone as lean as him though.
[Hunting]

Alisha - …But is this really alright?
I’m sure Sir Mikleo must’ve also…

Sorey – He said he’ll become my retainer to help me,
Because I’m a shepherd…
But he’s actually the one who just went along with the flow.
Mikleo has his own dream.
There’s no need for him to be bearing the duty of shepherd together with me…

Pg. 4
Lailah – Sorey,
I
Can see my own dream
At the end of your path.

No matter how harsh it will be,
I am willing to lend you all of my power to get to that goal.
That is why I am standing here.

Sorey – Lailah…

And I am sure that we all share that same thought,
Alisha, Edna,
And certainly Mikleo as well.

Pg. 5
You are not alone, Sorey.
We will never let you be alone.
So…

Please
Look at us.

Mikleo – [I didn’t come along just to be a liability to you!]

Man – Dammit!

Pg. 6
Sorey – Is this place…
Alisha? - A graveyard…?

Man – Your dress…

You are the rumored shepherd?
Sorey – Yes, I’m Sorey.
What are you doing here…?

Man – …I’m digging graves.

Lots of people die from the plague after all.
My dad used to dig graves almost every day.
…It was really tough for him.

Pg. 7
When I told him I want to help, he said he can’t let me do this work…
But in the end, the plague got him as well.

He fought so desperately even when he’s in pain, and yet…
I can’t take this anymore.
My dad lost to the plague.
That just nailed at my weakness for not being able to help him…

Hey,
*shove*
What’re you doing?

Sorey – Got to be sure to thank your dad
For fighting to his fullest.

Pg. 8
*SWOOSH*

Man - …Give that back to me.
I’ll do it myself.

Sorey – Umm…
There.

Then
How about we do it together?

Pg. 9
*sob*

Attack – Imma Attack.
Nice to meet ya.

Mikleo – Edna, are you sure he’s already purified?
He still looks exactly the same though…
Edna – All normins have that stupid face from the start.
Mikleo – Normin…?

Attack – We’re the normin seraphim.
I might be alone right now,
But my pals are spread all over the world.

So,
What’re yer two doin’ here?
Mikleo – Oh right.

Pg. 10
I want to do something about the hellion that has been the main cause for the plague in this town,
But the thing just flies above the sky the entire time, so we couldn’t take it down.

If I find out the cause for the overflowing malevolence in this town, and resolve it,
We might be able to decrease the level of malevolence,
Lower its power and make it to come down to the ground.

Attack – I getcha.
So ya came ta gather info on this city.

Edna – The Great Tree at the plaza area is pretty suspicious.
Did the Seraph which resided in that tree turn to hellion maybe?

Attack – Ya mean Lohan…?

Pg. 11
Dat tree has always been the symbol of this town.
People treasured it because the tree protected this town.
Lohan was the Seraph who resided in it.

Mikleo – [The Seraph who resided in the Great Tree…?]

Edna, you knew?
[Oww!]
Edna – I am an Earth Seraph.
Of course, I do know.

Mikleo – Then why didn’t you tell me earlier!?
Edna – I’m not so evil as to spoil the curious mind of the cute little boy.

Not to mention,
Even if we do know the cause, it doesn’t exactly lead to our solution.

Pg. 12
Even if we purify the malevolence in this city and its trees, the biggest cluster of malevolence, the drake, is still up in the sky.
Malevolence can always just keep pouring out.
No matter how hard Sorey and the others try, this is like an endless game of catch.

Mikleo – No way…
Then what should we do?
[In the end, I couldn’t…]

Pg. 13
What’s this…?
Attack – ‘tis a storage room.
Lotsa important documents outside the artworks
Which were publicized are kept here.

Mikleo – “Tradition of Mommase”, “Jeffry Record”…!
Amazing. I’ve never seen these before…
Edna – They sure can leave these valuable documents behind though.

Attack – Yeah, because I hid the key before they start lootin’ this place.

Only a few know ‘bout this hidden door.
…With so much happening, they’all most likely will just forget ‘bout it…

Pg. 14
There it is.
‘tis this one!

Mikleo – Is this…
A ceremonial bow…?

Edna – This must be an “armament”.
Mikleo – “Armament?”

Edna – The “Shape of Armitization”, it dictates the appearance of armitization.
Shepherd can only fully utilize “our power”
After we condense our power into the armament.

Pg. 15
Mikleo – If we use this bow,
We’ll have access to the armitization based of this…

Edna – and might even be able to shoot the drake down.
That’s clever, for a stupid normin.

Mikleo – You also have one too?
Edna - …You want to see it?

You really want to see it?
Mikleo – What’s the matter with you!!?

Attack – Yer a water seraph, no?
Actually, this bow’s also a water armament.
‘tis just perfect for you!

Pg. 16
Mikleo – [My armitization…]
Edna – Too bad though.

Only the main seraph and her retainers can create armitization.

Attack – Oh…yer not a retainer…?
I actually thought yer one…

Mikleo - …Guess we’ll
Have to find some other way then.

Pg. 17
Attack – Aintcha got something
Yer want to say to someone ya love?

Dont make such sad face.
Yer gotta take an initiative,
y’know. An initiative!

Pg. 18
Sorey – It really is getting dark.

Lailah – …Sorey,
This journey is paved with pains and suffers.
If you’re in pain, you should follow Mikleo’s words…

Sorey – I still have so many things that I have to know…
That I want to know.
I’ll continue with my journey,

Alisha – Sorey…

Pg. 19
And I’ll definitely find my answer
On the road ahead of me.

So…

Lailah – Yes.

…I’ll be watching, Sorey.
I’ll watch over your journey.

Pg. 20
Drake – ROOOOAR!

Alisha – It lost its patience now!?

Pg. 21
Sorey – Mikleo!

Why…
Mikleo – Stay alert!

Pg. 22
Sorey.

Sorey – Lailah,
Please do it!
Lailah – Yes.

Pg. 23
You whom is born with the embodiment of resolve,
I now request for a pact formed between us and for you to aid in my radiant ray of purification.
Should you agree to our pact, I ask you to pronounce your name.

Mikleo – You already know that
Sorey – since ages ago anyway!

Luzroshiv Lyleih!!

Pg. 24
Mikleo - Knowing you,
You probably just don’t want to pull me in and trouble me with your burden.
Sorey – Ugh…

Mikleo – But it’s already way too late for that.

Our journey
Already begun long before this.

This isn’t just your dream alone.
Sorey - …Right.

This is our dream!

Pg. 25

Pg. 26
Hey, Mikleo.

After I
formed a follower’s pact, my right eye just can’t see anymore.

So,
lend me your hand!

Mikleo – Gotcha, Sorey.
I’ll take care of the aim.
Sorey - …OK,
Leave the timing to me!

Pg. 27
Attack – I’m gonna help too!

Normin Power!

Sorey – [The power is overflowing…!]

Edna – It might get nasty if that giant fell on someone’s house,
So finish it off in one hit, OK?

Mikleo – Attack, Edna,
Thanks!

Pg. 28
Sorey!

Sorey – GO!!
