The Puzzled Imperial Soldier
Juri, a young imperial soldier, infiltrates (Captain)'s crew to persuade Farrah and Katalina to return to the Erste Empire. However, plans have a way of changing when he gets to know the crew.
Juri, a young imperial soldier, infiltrates (Captain)'s crew to bring Farrah and Katalina back to the Erste Empire.
He at first intends to convince them at the right moment, but plans have a way of changing...
Juri: Farrah! Be careful!
Monster: Groooar!
Farrah: ...!
Juri: Take this!
Monster: Gyaaargh!
Farrah: Thanks! That was a close one!
Juri: It sure was! And now we're even!
Farrah: Agh! There's gonna be plenty of chances to save you later too!
Katalina: Good grief, you two... It's fine if you want to compete, but try to conserve your strength.
Juri: Thank you, ma'am! I'll be more careful from now on!
Katalina: I guess military habits die hard, huh? There's no need to be so formal... I'm no longer a lieutenant, after all.
Juri: Understood, ma'am!
Vyrn: Haha, he's still doing it!
Farrah: Juri's definitely not the sort who can change so easily!
Juri: Ah...
Juri: (How strange... Why do Lieutenant Katalina and Farrah seem to be so indifferent?)
Juri: (It's as if they're not even ashamed about deserting the imperial army. I thought at least Lieutenant Katalina would be loyal to the empire...)
Juri: (But apparently she's more loyal to this crew than even the imperial army.)
Vyrn: Hey, Juri! You got something on your mind again?
Farrah: Just try to relax, will you? There's no need to be so serious!
Juri: My apologies, Master Vyrn. It's just that... The atmosphere around this crew seems so friendly and laid back.
Juri: It's new to me, since all I've ever known is the imperial army.
Vyrn: Well, that much is obvious! You can't be acting stiff like that around us! In this crew, you're free to do what you want!
Juri: Free?
Vyrn: That's right. Though (Captain) is probably the freest of all!
Katalina: Haha, that's true. Aside from the goal of someday reaching Estalucia, the Island of the Astrals, at least.
Juri: Estalucia? The home of both the Astrals and unimaginable treasure? That Estalucia?
Vyrn: That's right! Our ambition is to make it there someday!
Juri: Wow, that's... quite ambitious indeed.
Farrah: Hey! It sounds kinda like you're making fun of us!
Juri: Of course not, Farrah! I would never laugh at the dreams of others!
Juri: I was only surprised to hear Master Vyrn say something so preposterous with such a straight face!
Vyrn: What was that? You really are making fun of us, aren't you?
Juri: Not at all, Master Vyrn! I would never! I, uh, I guess I'm not making myself clear here.
Juri: Primal beasts and Sky Map fragments... If they exist, then the Island of the Astrals must as well.
Lyria: That's right! I feel the same way!
Vyrn: Ha ha! And here I was thinking you were more thickheaded than that!
Juri: (This crew is heading for the Island of the Astrals...)
Juri: (Why do I feel that, had I not enlisted in the imperial army, I would have been in this crew?)
Juri: Whoa!
Juri: (What am I even thinking? I'm a proud soldier of the imperial army! I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for the empire!)
Vyrn: Hey, you all right there? You're lookin' kinda intense.
Juri: I-it's nothing! Cough, cough... I'm fine! Ahem!
The young Juri has infiltrated (Captain)'s crew for the empire.
However, as he gets closer with its members, new emotions awaken within his heart.
Like Father, Like Son
Juri senses a threatening presence in the forest. It turns out to be his former captain in the imperial army, and as such Juri must cross swords with his former comrades.
Some time had passed since Juri, the imperial soldier, had joined (Captain) and the skyfarers.
As the crew walks through a forest on a mission, Juri senses something odd about their surroundings.
Juri: (Something's here. An animal?)
Katalina: What's wrong, Juri? Is something the matter?
Juri: No... I just thought I heard something.
Vyrn: Sheesh, you worry too much!
Katalina: Actually, I've also noticed it. It's almost as if something, or someone, is closing in on us.
Juri: (There it is again! But wait a minute...)
Juri: This formation... It can't be!
Juri: Get ready for battle! We're surrounded by imperial soldiers!
Captain: Humph. Able to recognize our ambush so quickly... Very impressive, young Juri.
Juri: Captain! And you guys!
Captain: Impressive, indeed. But how is your swordsmanship?
Juri: Sir! I've been keeping up with my training as always.
Juri: But Captain, why are you all in formation?
Captain: Ha! I wouldn't be much of a captain if I let traitors of the empire escape under my watch!
Captain: Men, draw your swords!
Soldiers: Yes, sir!
Captain: Attention, men! Your opponent may be a former comrade, but show no mercy! Attack!
Soldiers: Sir, yes, sir!
Like Father, Like Son: Scene 2
Juri defeats his former comrades. The captain praises him for improving his skills, and declares that he will be the next opponent.
Captain: Oho, you weren't lying about keeping up with your training! You've clearly been honing your skills!
Juri: (What good are compliments when we're surrounded like this?)
Captain: Very well, then! It's been a while, but I will be your next opponent. Prepare yourself, young Juri!
Juri: (He's serious... I can't let my guard down!)
Juri: Very well... I'll show you how much stronger I've become!
Like Father, Like Son: Scene 3
Juri defeats the captain. To commend his skills, the captain bestows upon him the title formerly held by his late father: The Fiery Soul of the Empire.
Captain: Ugh... I can hardly believe how much stronger you've become...
Juri: I... I won.
Juri: But why would you do this, Captain?
Captain: Humph. No reason in particular. Attention, men! We've wasted enough time here. Move out!
Soldiers: Sir!
Captain: Juri, I hereby bestow upon you a new title...
Captain: From now on, you will be known as... Juri, Fiery Soul of the Empire!
Juri: Fiery Soul? Captain... you do realize who that title once belonged to?
Captain: Of course! It was your father's title. And now, I'm passing it on to you!
Juri: C-Captain!
Captain: I must say, you've become quite the swordsman. I'm sure your late father would've been proud.
Captain: Attention, men! Back to the mission! We don't have much time!
Captain: You! Have you confirmed our current location?
Soldier: Sir! Our location is still unknown!
Captain: Very well! Then we advance! We do not retreat!
Soldiers: Sir, yes, sir!
Captain: Farewell! Young... No, Juri, Fiery Soul of the Empire!
Juri: There he goes...
Katalina: Every bit as noisy as ever...
Vyrn: So what did that guy actually want?
Farrah: Hmm... Maybe he was just worried about you, Juri!
Juri: I'm not so sure. That squad would get lost all the time.
Juri: The Fiery Soul of the Empire, huh?
Juri unexpectedly receives a memento of his father in the forest, and along with it a renewed confidence in himself.
Although he has lost his father and place in the imperial army, his heart still beats for the empire. The young soldier fights for another day, for the justice he believes in.
Indivisible Spirits
Seruel finds Juri on the Grandcypher's deck, worrying that by leaving the empire, he may not have done right by the people who shaped him. Seruel says that all difficult decisions come with some degree of pain. Juri is surprised at Seruel's consideration, and Seruel invites him to tea so they can get to know each other better.
As the airship glides through the sky, Juri stands on deck, gazing into the distance.
Juri: Sigh...
Seruel: What's the matter? I've heard nothing but sighs since I stepped out on deck.
Juri: Uh, what? Was I sighing? I didn't think I was...
Seruel: Dear me... You hadn't noticed? Might I ask you to forbear? You're making my heart heavy.
Juri: Oh, pardon my rudeness! I shall be more careful.
Juri apologizes to Seruel, then retreats back into his thoughts.
Juri: Sigh...
Seruel: Humph. It would seem your acquiescence was less than sincere.
Juri: Oh, er... I'm sorry. I was trying to keep it under control.
Seruel: Well? What is it that's troubling you? Standing around brooding does nothing but waste time.
Juri: Urk. Well... I suppose you could say I'm having second thoughts about my choices in life.
Seruel: Sigh... Explain. Clearly and concisely.
Juri: You see, before I joined this crew, I was diligently making my way through the ranks of the Imperial Army.
Juri: But I found I could not justify the Empire's methods, and so I left the army to which I had once sworn my allegiance.
Juri: I did what I believed was right. And my captain not only supported my decision, but encouraged it.
Juri: Still... I never repaid the men and women who made me who I am today. And I fear leaving my unit was akin to slapping them in the face.
Seruel: Rubbish. Is that all you were worried about?
Juri: It's no trivial matter to me!
Seruel: You may have had friendships with people in the empire, and those ties may not have been easy to cut, but sometimes pain is part of making a decision.
Seruel: You followed the path you believed to be right, and so have distanced yourself from the empire. Why should you still feel so attached?
Juri: You make a good point. I suppose I have been clinging a little too tightly to the past.
Juri: And if I cannot abide the Erste Empire's methods, then it is inevitable that I should be here.
Juri: I mustn't stand here moping—it would be unfair to (Captain). (Captain) believes in me.
Seruel: I see. The problem was not reluctance to part with the past, but lack of faith in yourself.
Juri: !
Seruel: You're just like Naoise. You are so eager to do right that you end up trying too hard.
Seruel: You have nothing to worry about. The future will prove that you made the right decision.
Seruel: Heh. Time solves more problems than you might think. You would do well to remember that.
Juri: (Unbelievable! Seruel is even stricter than my old captain, and he'scomforting me?)
Juri: You have my thanks. Er...
Seruel: What? Why do you have that odd look on your face?
Juri: It's just that... Well... You're much kinder than I realized.
Seruel: Ha ha, is that so? Thank you for the compliment. I'm quite curious what manner of first impression I made on you.
Juri: Ack! I-I didn't mean... It just slipped out... Er, that is...
Seruel: Hm... We are in the same crew, after all. Perhaps we should get better acquainted.
Seruel: Don't you agree? Why don't the two of us have a nice, long chat over a cup of tea?
Juri: (Th-that smile on his face... There's no mistaking it. He's angry!)
Juri: (I can't imagine suffering through the awkwardness of tea right now. Oh! I know!)
Juri: Let's not be hasty! Since you were kind enough to suggest it, let's invite the others to—
Seruel: Oh? You mean to say you don't want to be alone with me?
Juri: No! That's not what I meant...
Seruel: Heh... Ha ha ha! I speak in jest. You are more amusing than I had expected.
Seruel: Come. We must see if we can find out who else has time on their hands.
And so they invite the rest of the crew and enjoy a pleasant teatime together.
Though Seruel's words were harsh, Juri could feel his concern.
Pushing down his doubts and fears one by one, Juri will move forward.
