Alchemist Astray - Chapter 3: The Gate of Helmuth - Episode 3
(Captain) and company are aghast at Clarisse's betrayal. As she readies her next attack, Paracelsus drives home the point that Clarisse is now on his side.
Vyrn: You can't be serious!
Lyria: C-Clarisse?
Clarisse: ...
Choose: There's no doubt about it.
Lyria: Th-that can't be true! This is Clarisse—our Clarisse!
Lyria: She'd never try to hurt us!
Cagliostro: Face the facts. If I hadn't deflected her attack, you'd be a pile of dust right now.
Cagliostro: Get ahold of yourself, (Captain)!
Vyrn: You can't ask us to swallow this and just stay calm!
Cagliostro: I know. But we need to stay sharp.

Lyria: I can't believe this! I won't!
(Captain) and company are utterly shaken by the turn of events.
Paracelsus: An impressive defense. Had you realized Clarisse was a traitor, perchance?
Cagliostro: Maybe. Maybe not.
Paracelsus: Humph. As you wish. It matters not.
Lyria: Clarisse! Why... Why would you do something like this?
Clarisse: ...
Paracelsus: Dear Clarisse here was given a choice to side with you or the Guild of Helmuth.
Paracelsus: She chose us.
Lyria: B-but she said she'd talk with her parents...
Paracelsus: And this is the result of that discussion.
(Captain) and company are taken aback by Paracelsus's words.
Paracelsus: Now then, Clarisse. Seize the founder as you promised.
Clarisse: Yeah, I will. I keep my promises.
Lyria: She's... really going to do this.
Vyrn: Please tell me this is all just a bad joke.
Clarisse: It's no joke. My duty is to defeat the founder, and that's what I'm gonna do.
Lyria: C-Clarisse.
Cagliostro: Fine. Tell you what.
Cagliostro: We'll settle this with a duel—you and me.
Paracelsus: Sacrificing yourself to protect your comrades? By the fates, founder, one might think you've grown a heart.
Cagliostro: Shut it, knave. You're next.
Paracelsus: You expect victory in your condition? Given your weakness to Clarisse's alchemy, I find that doubtful.
Cagliostro: ...
Paracelsus: Oh, you think I didn't know?
Paracelsus: About the fact that the linchpin to your previous binding was an ancestor of Clarisse's?
Cagliostro: I see you're still ignorant of the depth of my abilities. Not that I'd expect an amateur like you to understand.
Paracelsus: ...
Cagliostro: First law of alchemy, newbie: no one messes with Cagliostro!
