---

Arriving at the Valtz Duchy, (Captain) and company take on a request to search for an archduke who has gone missing.

The crew explore the industrial Draph town, admiring the red earth and rows of steelwork factories lining the streets.

Gachapin: Guys, do you feel that!

Katalina: Someone's following us. They appear to be using magic to stay hidden...

???: ...

Gachapin: I'm Gachapin! Who are you?

???: ...!
H-how'd you sneak up behind me!

???: What's with this bubbly green thing anyway! Ever hear of a little something called personal space?

Katalina: There, there. So you're the one who was following us.

Katalina: My name's Katalina. And this is Gachapin.

Gachapin: Gacha gacha pin pin, I'm Gachapin! What's your name?

Io: Io... My name is Io.

Io: I'm on a search for the missing archduke... I'm his apprentice.

Gachapin: We're looking for him too! Our crew was asked to find the archduke.

Gachapin: Hey, why don't you come with us? I'm sure we'll find him right away if we look together!

Io joins (Captain) and the others in their search, and they soon locate the archduke's whereabouts.

They rush to the archduke's location.

Colossus: ...

Tzaka the Great: You've arrived at last, I see. This foolish disciple of mine...

Io: What are you doing, Master? Let's go home! Together!

Tzaka the Great: My brethren served the Astrals and created primal beasts here. Their descendants eventually stole the technology of the Astrals and made it their own.

Tzaka the Great: This iron giant is a remnant of the dream they shared to fly the flag of rebellion and take back what was rightfully theirs.

Tzaka the Great: Colossus... A primal beast forged in steel to deliver my people from bondage!

Tzaka the Great: I will finish what they started by breathing the breath of life into it... at any cost!

Gachapin: You shouldn't do that! This can't be the right thing to do!

Tzaka the Great: This is revenge. It's not about whether this is right or wrong...

Gachapin: But look at your apprentice. She's sad!

Gachapin: You've made such a little girl cry... That just can't be right!

Tzaka the Great: B-but...

Gachapin: Besides—

Io: He's right, Master! The nightmare is over... It's time to wake up!

Colossus: ...!

Tzaka the Great: Oho... You've awakened at last, my precious Colossus!

Lyria: Look out!

Colossus: ...!

Colossus swings its giant blade, bringing it down onto the ground. The entire cave shakes violently.

Rackam: Whoa, okay, it's strong! This might be a little outta our league!

Gachapin: Haaah!

Colossus: ...

Gachapin: All right! That's the end of it! Come on, Mister Tzaka. Let's go home.

Tzaka the Great: My dream... My giant... It's all gone...

Tzaka the Great: Oof!

Vyrn: Looks like he fainted...

Io: Master... Erm... I'm sorry.

After sleeping for three days straight following the incident, the archduke smiles gently as he awakens from the ordeal, almost as if he's a completely different person.

Tzaka the Great: I've put you all through so much. I can offer nothing but apologies.

Lyria: I'm so happy your teacher is back, Io.

Io: Lyria, (Captain), Gachapin... Thank you so much... Sniff...

It is now clear that the Erste Empire was the one responsible for manipulating the archduke and bringing about the incident on Valtz.

As for Sturm, Drang, and their accomplice the Black Knight, their actions remain nothing but a mystery.

Io: Right! I've decided, (Captain)... I'm coming with you!

Tzaka the Great: Apparently, the agents from the empire are trying to do something on Auguste.

Tzaka the Great: Many dangers lie ahead... Please take care of Io for me.

(Captain)'s journey now leads the crew to Auguste, the island of water, where new encounters await.
