Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 16: The Sacred Tree - Episode 4

By the order of the Black Knight, Orchis awakens the primal beast Yggdrasil from the forest lake.

---

Lyria: ...!
This sensation... It can't be!

Orchis: It's ready...

Black Knight: Very well. Awaken it at once. We mustn't keep it waiting...

Orchis: Okay...

Lyria: W-wait! Don't do it, Orchis! It's sleeping so peacefully! Why wake it?

Orchis: ...

Orchis: Wake and see, Supreme Creator...
Humbly we do beg your favor...

Lyria: Orchis!

Orchis: Primal power boldly grows...
Show yourself and crush our foes!

Black Knight: Arise, primal beast Yggdrasil. Give them a taste of your overwhelming might!

Yggdrasil: ...

Rosetta: But... it was sleeping so soundly!

Black Knight: Rosetta, power only means something when it's put to use. You understand that as well as anyone, don't you?

Vyrn: The monsters are gathering here in response to Yggdrasil's power!

Eugen: She planned everything down to the last detail... We can't slip anything past her, can we?

Katalina: First things first! We have to clear out the area, (Captain)!

Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 16: The Sacred Tree - Episode 4: Scene 2

Lyria is pained to see Orchis choose to remain with the Black Knight. Just as a muddled apology escapes the doll's lips, Yggdrasil prepares to attack (Captain) and the crew.

---

Yggdrasil: ...

Lyria: Orchis... Why would you do this? It was sleeping so quietly...

Orchis: ...

Lyria: There was a reason you did this... Right, Orchis?

Orchis: ...

Lyria: Why are you with the Black Knight? Why won't you come with us?

Orchis: ...

Lyria: Can you not hear us anymore, Orchis?

Orchis: ...

Lyria: Huh?

Black Knight: Are you saddened, Lyria? I'm sorry... but it must be done.

Black Knight: Orchis has wept her share of tears as well. It makes the moments when she smiles shine that much brighter...

Black Knight: Now then, the time has come. Let's see how you fare against the Great Tree...
Against power beyond time itself!

Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 16: The Sacred Tree - Episode 4: Scene 3

The Black Knight and Orchis escape. But an imperial envoy arrives to tell (Captain) and the crew that the empire wants to discuss making amends at the nearby island of Albion Citadel.

---

Lyria: You've been through a lot today, Yggdrasil... But it's okay. You can rest now.

Yggdrasil: ...

Rackam: We managed to defeat that giant thing somehow...

Katalina: But I don't see any sign of the Black Knight... or Orchis.

Rosetta: I suppose they've already taken off on their airship...

Io: Aw, c'mon! You've gotta be kidding me!

Vyrn: Tell me about it! And we were so close too...

Eugen: In the end we just couldn't get through to the poor girl.

Lyria: No, we did. Orchis understands how we feel.

Lyria: That's why she... said she was sorry.

Katalina: She's... sorry...

Rackam: What in the skies would she need to apologize for?

Rackam: Whoa! And what's that up there? An imperial battleship?

The crew stares in shock at the imperial battleship that has suddenly appeared.

Instead of opening fire, however, the airship sends an envoy with a rather strange proposal.

Katalina: Hold on... You want to settle this peacefully?

Imperial Soldier: Yes. We wish to find a middle ground for going forward.

Eugen: Wait just one second. What are you trying to pull here?

Io: I think we need a little more time to think about this...

Imperial Soldier: Major General Furias awaits you at the nearby island of Albion Citadel.

Imperial Soldier: We will explain everything in more detail there.

Katalina: Did you say... Albion?

Lyria: Are you okay, Katalina? Your face looks white as a sheet.

Katalina: I'm fine... I knew this day would come.

Having relayed the simple message, the envoy boards the battleship.

With no other choice left to them. (Captain) and the crew depart for Albion Citadel hoping to uncover the intent behind the empire's offer.
