Alchemist Astray - Chapter 2: The Call for Help - Episode 2
The crew receives a cry for help from Deliford, an ex-crewmate. They rush to his aid.
Lyria: Excuse me, (Captain). May I come in? There's a letter for—
Cagliostro: Gimme more, (Captain)! Aaa—
With an awkward smile, (Captain) feeds Cagliostro another spoon of soup.
Lyria: Am I... interrupting something?
Vyrn: What're you doing?
Cagliostro: Have you no eyes, lizard? It's called spoon-feeding.
Vyrn: No, I mean, why's (Captain) spoon-feeding you?
Cagliostro: Because I'm wounded and fragile and require intensive care of course.
Though several days have passed since the research facility incident, Cagliostro's body still shows no signs of recovery.
Cagliostro: (Captain), (Captain)!
Cagliostro: Can you spoil me just an eensy-weensy little-bitty more? Pretty please?
Cagliostro: Thankie-wankies, sweetiekins! You're the bestest ever!
Cagliostro: Ahh, it should be a crime to be this adorable.
Cagliostro: Aaah! Nom!
Cagliostro: ...
Hrm, maybe that wasn't cute enough for you.
Hrm, maybe that wasn't cute enough for you.
Cagliostro: I wanted to see you flustered. Meh, I'll get you next time.

Vyrn: Sigh... Up to your old antics, even on your sickbed.
Lyria: Ha... hahaha...
Cagliostro: So? What's the letter?
Lyria: Oh! Y-yes, it's from Deliford!

Deliford once belonged to the imperial army. But after a falling out with his superiors, he left.
Daily life had caused him to forget a long-held dream. Upon meeting the crew, however, his aspirations took life again as he joined them on their journey.
His joints now creak with age, but neither his determination nor lance have dulled over the years.

Lyria: The letter says he needs our help.
Lyria hands the letter to (Captain).
It reads:
"(Captain), you and your crew are the only ones I can turn to."
"(Captain), you and your crew are the only ones I can turn to."
"Please, help my family and me."
Cagliostro: Ah, this is from that man who pulled out of the crew. Seems going back to his family wasn't quite the happy ending he had hoped for.
Vyrn: What? You wanna leave the crew?
Lyria: But why?
Lyria: I thought you said you wanted to go with us to Estalucia no matter what!
Lyria: You promised yourself!
Deliford: I still believe that. But I've gotten word from my family asking for my return.
Deliford: It seems my parents' health is deteriorating. They want me to return to see them.
Lyria: Your family... I see.
Vyrn: Oh. Well, if that's the case... We understand.
Deliford: My deepest apologies.
Deliford: I shall be with you in spirit.
Deliford: I'm truly sorry. But to abandon my family while chasing a dream is something I cannot do.
Deliford: I only ask that you tell me all about Estalucia once you've reached it.
Lyria: We'll tell you all about it! Promise!
Vyrn: You can bet on it!
Deliford: Thank you. I'll be going then.
Vyrn: Take care, old man. Say hi to your family for us too.
Deliford: I'm not old! I'm still...
Deliford: Ha... hahaha!
Vyrn: Huh?
Deliford: Ahh, it's nothing. It's such a shame we can't have these exchanges anymore.
Vyrn: Yeah...
Deliford: (Captain), traveling with you and your crew has been like a dream come true for me. This has been one of the most enjoyable times of my life.
Deliford: Thank you... from the bottom of my heart.
Lyria: Sniffle... Thank you, Deliford. We'll miss you.
Vyrn: ...
See you around, old m—I mean Deliford.
See you around, old m—I mean Deliford.
Deliford: Until we meet again.
Cagliostro: So what do we do? Better not be what I think you're thinking.
Choose: We're going to help him, of course.
Lyria: That's right! We have to help!
Vyrn: Yeah! We're still friends no matter what!
Cagliostro: Tsk... Fine. If that's your choice, I'll go with you.
Choose: Just so happens we have a mission there!
Lyria: A-a mission?
Vyrn: Oh? Oh! Y-yeaaah, that mission!
Vyrn: Then we can check in on Deliford on the way!
Vyrn: If he's in trouble, maybe we could lend a hand.
Lyria: Th-that's right! We're only helping him on the side!
Cagliostro: Terrible liars—all of you.
Cagliostro: Tsk... Fine. If that's your choice, I'll go with you.

Lyria: Cagliostro!
Cagliostro: I don't have to like it though. Given my condition, I'd prefer to avoid messy business, not dive right into it.
Cagliostro: (Bah. Look at me. I've gotten all soft!)
Cagliostro shrugs as she admits the fact and gives a wry smile.
With that they begin their journey to the location given in Deliford's letter.
