Alchemist Astray - Chapter 2: The Call for Help - Episode 4
Zechs, commanding officer of the ambushing force, orders Deliford to stand down or be expelled from the army. Shocked to learn Deliford has rejoined the empire, the crew listens to Deliford as he explains his circumstances.
(Captain) and company take down wave after wave of attackers.
Cagliostro: Come now, are you really trying to capture me?
Cagliostro: You can't even get within an inch of me!
Alchemist: Ngh! How could this happen...
Cagliostro: Yet again your guild underestimates me.
Cagliostro: Behold the power of the founder of alchemy—the greatest, most adorable alchemist of all time!
(Captain) and company cast a sideways glance at Cagliostro as they unbind Deliford.
Deliford: R-remind me never to anger Cagliostro.
Deliford: You came for me even though I've left your crew.
Deliford: Thank you, (Captain). Your kindness knows no bounds.
Deliford: Well, um... it's a rather long story as I mentioned.
Deliford: I've not betrayed you though, (Captain). Please, you have to believe me...

Deliford: But now's not the time for idle talk. Right now you need to take Cagliostro and go!
Lyria: What? Wh-why?
Lyria: But we came here to help you.
Vyrn: Yeah! What the heck's going on?
Vyrn: And why're there soldiers and alchemists here?
Deliford: I can explain later! For now just—
???: Deliford! You're not thinking of disobeying orders again, are you?
Deliford: Zechs!
Zechs: Sigh. This is exactly why you were discharged before.
Behind the man called Zechs, a horde of imperial soldiers and alchemists flood into the room.
Vyrn: Oh man. This is bad—real bad.
Lyria: Wh-what do we do?
Zechs: You're being a disgrace to the army, Deliford.
Zechs: Cease this mutiny or I'll be forced to decommission you myself.
Deliford: Ngh!
Zechs: You need the money, don't you?
Deliford: Mng...
Zechs: Didn't you say your family was happy you rejoined the army?
Zechs: Think about this, Deliford.
Vyrn: Wait. You joined the army again?
Deliford: I-it's true... I work for the empire now.
Deliford: I needed the money... the job security...
Lyria: Deliford...
Deliford: I-I had no choice! My family's in financial trouble... I had to.
Deliford: I'm sorry.
Lyria: N-no! You shouldn't have to apologize! In fact it's great that you're working to support your family!
Vyrn: Yeah!
Deliford: Thank you—all of you.
With teary eyes, Deliford gives a deep bow to the crew.
