A Ballad of Unbending Chivalry - Chapter 6: Sticking to Your Guns - Episode 4
Upon finding Arrogante and Elsine, Yuisis quickly jumps into the fray and awakens Ditoria. Arrogante is pleased to see this, revealing that he's always wanted to kill Yuisis in her prime—his ideal revenge against Yuisis's parents.
Leaving Elea and Icas to watch their backs, the crew pushes onward to Elsine.
They come to a large room in the back where incapacitated members of both gangs lie on the ground.
Also in the room is Elsine, covered in wounds, clashing with Arrogante.
Yuisis: El!
Elsine: Yui... sis?
Yuisis rushes over and points her sword at Arrogante, intent on protecting Elsine.
Arrogante: Ah, the star of the show's finally here... You sure took your sweet time getting here.
Yuisis: You've done enough damage to my family! It's time we settled this!
Yuisis: You're gonna pay for takin' the lives of my parents!
Arrogante: Heheh, that's the attitude I like to see from Wendt and Treia's daughter.
Arrogante: Or should I say... the Ditoria Knights' boss.
Elsine: The hell's that supposed to mean! I'm Ditoria's boss!
Despite her injuries, Elsine pushes Yuisis aside and resumes her clash with Arrogante.
Arrogante: Ugh, what a tenacious one. Like I've been saying, don't you realize what a bore you are?
Arrogante effortlessly parries Elsine's sword, then kicks her away.
Elsine: Ungh!
Vyrn: Hey, take it easy! Leave this to us—
Elsine: Shut your mouth! Someone who's not even part of the family doesn't get to tell me what to do!
Lyria: Elsine...
Elsine: I need to avenge the boss and Treia!
Elsine: Seeing as I'm the Ditoria Knights' current boss and also the one responsible for its downfall!
Elsine grips Ditoria with her one good hand.
Arrogante: Unless you can draw out Ditoria's power, you'll fail no matter how many times you try.
Elsine: Ditoria's power? What do you mean?
Arrogante: Don't you know? Ditoria responds to the will of its wielder, amplifying their power.
Arrogante: It's no old wives' tale.
Arrogante: I would know because my own Vasuria grants power depending on the wielder's level of ambition.
Arrogante: And Ditoria is meant to be its counterpart.
Arrogante: The arcane sword of chivalry, granting its wielder strength based on their sense of righteousness and willingness to protect others.
Arrogante: That's why it was wielded by the most chivalrous one of all...
Arrogante: The Ditoria Knights' boss.
Yuisis: Huh...
Arrogante: Simply wielding the sword is hardly proof of leadership.
Arrogante: You've gotta be able to draw out its power.
Elsine: ...!
Arrogante: In other words, Elsine. You were never meant to lead.
Elsine: Tch! Even if what you say is true, I have every intention of winning this fight!
Elsine: I stand for my own beliefs!
Elsine puts everything she has into her next strike at Arrogante.
His expression turns into one of disgust.
Arrogante: Know your place, you trash. Awaken, Vasuria.
Arrogante: Hellblade Starfall!
Elsine: Augh...
Unable to defend against the attack, Elsine's body slams against the wall behind her with a loud thud.
Elsine: Not over... yet! I can still...
Arrogante: No, it's the end of the road for you. Hellblade Abyss.
Vasuria is enveloped in a dark glow.
It comes down on Elsine, ready to take her life.
Elsine: Ah...
Yuisis: Don't even think about it!
Gran is the Main Character
Yuisis and (Captain) stop the blade in its tracks.
Djeeta is the Main Character
Yuisis and (Captain) stop the blade in its tracks.
Arrogante: Haha, I didn't think that was even possible!
Arrogante: But let's see how long you can keep this up!
The ebony and azure aura around Vasuria grows brighter.
Gran is the Main Character
Yuisis: Grwaaah!
Djeeta is the Main Character
Yuisis: Grwaaah!
Even with the combined might of the captain and Yuisis, their power proves to be lacking.
Vasuria puts a crack in both of their swords.
Elsine: What are you doing! Now's your time to make a run for it!
Yuisis: I... will not!
Elsine: Don't tell me you've forgotten... how I tried to kill you two!
Elsine: And now you're protecting me?
Yuisis: What (Captain) said!
Gran is the Main Character
Yuisis: When I rebuild the Ditoria Knights, I'm going to need (Captain)'s crew, Elea...
Djeeta is the Main Character
Yuisis: When I rebuild the Ditoria Knights, I'm going to need (Captain)'s crew, Elea...
Yuisis: You, and Icas there! That's the only way it's going to work!
Elsine: Enough of that crap! Wishful thinking won't get you anywhere—
Yuisis: I know it's a long shot! But I've got my guidin' principles... and I'm gonna stick to 'em!
Yuisis: No matter what anyone says!
Elsine: !
Yuisis: Believe me when I say I'm gonna keep you safe, El!
A shrill sound signals the shattering of Yuisis's and (Captain)'s swords.
The two are left defenseless against Arrogante.
Lyria: (Captain)! Yuisis!
Elsine: Yuisis! Take Ditoria!
Yuisis: ...!
Yuisis defends against Vasuria with her Ditoria.
Arrogante is able to slowly push her back.
Arrogante: Haha, now that's a surprise.
Arrogante: Sure took long enough. Only one thing left...
Yuisis: Hraaah!
Yuisis: (Is this it for me? I haven't even avenged my parents yet...)
Yuisis: (If I lose here, (Captain), Elea, El, Icas, and everyone else will also...)
Yuisis: (No... I've lost enough people already!)
Yuisis: (I swore to protect the family...)
Yuisis: (To rebuild the Ditoria Knights...)
Yuisis: Please lend me power so that I may see my dream through!
Yuisis: No, grant me your power! Ditoria!
Ditoria glows a rosy pink color, now overflowing with power.
Yuisis leans into this newfound strength and pushes Vasuria back.
Yuisis: Aaaahhh!
Arrogante: Rgh!
Realizing his disadvantage, Arrogante backs away from Yuisis.
Yuisis: Huff... Huff...
Vyrn: Whoa, what just happened now?
Lyria: It's beautiful...
(Captain) and company are startled by what has just occurred.
Yuisis: So this is Ditoria's true power?
Arrogante: Mwahaha! That's right! You've awakened it at long last!
Yuisis: What's so funny?
Arrogante: Oh, I'm just delighted that my dream's finally going to come true.
Yuisis: You mean Ditoria's awakening was your goal all along?
Arrogante: Not exactly. My goal was to see you with a restored Ditoria sword...
Arrogante: As leader of the gang, die by my hand.
Arrogante: Gwahaha... This is how I'm gonna get Wendt and Treia to turn in their graves!
Arrogante: By proving that their entire lives were mistakes!
Yuisis: Sounds like you just want to get back at my parents through me.
Arrogante: You got that right. They're the ones I have a grudge against.
Arrogante: Only problem is they died... before I could finish them off myself.
Yuisis: The hell are you talkin' about! You're the one that murdered 'em in cold blood!
Yuisis: I saw you standing over my parents' bodies when I ran away!
Arrogante: They were already on the brink of death when I confronted them.
Arrogante: They took their last breath before I even struck a blow.
Yuisis: !
Arrogante: Damn pushovers! I was sure I'd get to whack 'em myself!
Arrogante: The plan completely blew up in my face!
Arrogante's face is filled with violent hatred as he recalls the past.
Yuisis: What makes you so obsessed with my parents in the first place?
Arrogante: Gotta have my revenge.
Yuisis: Wha? You mean...
