A Ballad of Unbending Chivalry - Chapter 4: Separation Anxiety - Episode 2
Elsine's attack on Yuisis is cut short by Arrogante and his men. He remarks that Yuisis must survive because her chivalry makes her the only one fit for leading the Ditoria Knights. He keeps Elsine and the Luceria Knights at bay, urging the crew to bring Yuisis to safety.
The crew screams in terror as Ditoria comes down on Yuisis.
But before the blade can connect, gunfire rings aloud.
Elsine: Rgh!
Elsine: ...!
Elsine immediately leaps back in response.
Icas: El!
Icas takes his eyes away from the crew and makes to run over to Elsine.
Icas: Dammit!
Lyria: Tiamat, now!
Tiamat's gust of wind knocks Icas onto the ground.
(Captain) and company take advantage of this opening and rush over to Yuisis and Elea.
Yuisis: Huff... Huff...
Lyria: You're bleeding so much... We need to treat that.
Yuisis: Cough... It's fine... I'm more worried about Elea...
Vyrn: Okay, we hear ya. Stop talkin' for now.
Icas: El! Are you hurt?
Elsine: I'll be okay; the bullet went right through. Who was that anyway?
???: Can't have you killing off Yuisis.
The man behind the voice makes his appearance.
???: Nor can I have you leading the Ditoria Knights.
???: No, whoever takes over has gotta have a heart of chivalry.
???: And I can think of no one better than Yuisis, who embodies selfless heroism the way Wendt and Treia did.
???: You, on the other hand?
???: You discard everyone and everything you don't deem precious.
???: You believe your mindset to be the only correct one and refuse to heed the words of even those you consider family.
???: In fact, you're apparently okay with murdering family...
???: Care to tell me where in your actions I'm to find chivalry?
???: Your attitude's the same as those of us who take everything by force.
???: I thought you Luceria Knights were opposed to me. But in the end, I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
The faces of Yuisis and Elsine contort with rage at the very sight of the man.
Yuisis: Cough... Why... are you here!
Elsine: Arroganteeee!
Her heart filled with rancor, Elsine tightens her grip on Ditoria and charges at Arrogante.
Icas: El, no!
Arrogante: Hehe...
Arrogante picks up the Vasuria dropped by Elea earlier and meets the incoming attack head-on.
Elsine: You... You're going to die by my hand!
Elsine: For betraying the boss and Treia...
Elsine: For turning your back on the family... It's time to pay with your life!
Arrogante: Bold words for someone so lacking in skill.
Arrogante: You are unworthy of challenging me. Know your place.
Arrogante sends her body flying away with a forceful kick.
Elsine: Augh! This is nothing—
Eligoth Knight 2: Got you!
Elsine: ...!
Icas: Not on my watch!
An Eligoth Knight spots an opening and leaps in from behind Elsine.
However, Icas cuts him down before he can do any harm.
Elsine: Thank you, Icas. You saved me.
Icas: Of course I did. I am your brother.
Arrogante: Oh, what a waste... But no matter, I have plenty of other pawns.
Arrogante snaps his finger, signaling for a large group of armed Eligoth Knights to come out from hiding.
Icas: Tch! You guys keep them away from El!
An alarmed Icas whistles for reinforcements.
Armed Luceria Knights appear in the surroundings.
Arrogante: So you were hiding troops yourselves, I see. This is going to be interesting.
Elsine: ...
A battle between the Eligoth and Luceria Knights is about to unfold, with Arrogante and Elsine at the center of it all.
(Captain) and company find themselves surrounded by the two gangs and are unable to move freely.
Arrogante: You must be (Captain).
Arrogante: I'll deal with Elsine. Get Yuisis out of here.
Yuisis: What... is the meaning of this?
Yuisis: Hack... Cough!
Yuisis: I thought you ordered Elea and your other goons to kill me...
Yuisis: And yet... now you're—
Vyrn: Hey, save the talk! You're still hurt really bad!
Arrogante: I have a dream, Yuisis. And to fulfill that dream, I need you—
Arrogante: No, rather... I need you as the boss of the Ditoria Knights.
Arrogante: That's why I can't have you dying here.
Yuisis: You're not makin' any sense... Cough...
Arrogante: You'll understand in due time.
Arrogante: For now, consider me an ally.
Eyeing him with suspicion...
The crew decide that trusting Arrogante is currently their best course of action.
