Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 36: Dead End - Episode 2
Unable to locate Orchis, the crew decides to leave the palace in Mephorash and escape from Ravi Island.
The crew continues the search, but there is still no sight of Orchis.
Black Knight: Why isn't she here...
Katalina: I'm at a loss. There's no clues anywhere.
Io: I guess they went to the current capital of the Erste Empire after all, huh?
Katalina: Agastia? I guess it's not impossible.
Rackam: What's this Freesia character up to anyway?
Rackam: If we know her motives, then we can figure out where she's holed up, right?
Black Knight: It's true that knowing her objective would simplify things.
Black Knight: Unfortunately, when I had a spy gather intel on her in the past, we learned only one thing.
Black Knight: She wants both Lyria and Orchis to fulfill her schemes.
Black Knight: The nature of those schemes is still unclear. But looking at how they've pursued Lyria, we can infer primal beasts are connected.
Lyria: Primal beasts?
Eugen: That doesn't give us much to go on. Primals beasts are a rupie a dozen in the skies.
Black Knight: Freesia's clan has served the Erste royal family here in Mephorash for generations.
Black Knight: If she chose not to come here, it must have been for a very convincing reason.
Rosetta: But if we don't know that reason, we still can't act. First things first, we have to search for hints.
Vyrn: Then we might as well go check out Agastia!
Vyrn: It's the capital city of the empire, so we're bound to find something out, right?
Katalina: But Vyrn, Agastia is deep in the heart of Erste.
Katalina: We can't just sneak into it like we did here on Ravi Island.
Vyrn: Oh... Yeah, I guess that's true...
Rackam: Well, now that we know Orchis isn't in the palace, no sense in us stickin' around either!
Rackam: Let's figure out where we're headed after we blow this joint!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 36: Dead End - Episode 2: Scene 2
The crew hurries to exit the palace, but Lecia appears and offers to reveal Freesia's location in exchange for a rematch.
(Captain) and the crew dash through the palace, keen on leaving Ravi Island as soon as possible.
But during their retreat a voice calls out to them from behind.
Lecia: Where do you all think you're going in such a hurry?
Lyria: Lecia! Why are you here?
Black Knight: What do you want, little girl? We don't have time to play.
Lecia: I'm not a little girl! I'm, well, older than I look!
Katalina: Lecia?
Lecia: I honestly don't understand your crew at all.
Lecia: But Monika thinks highly of you.
Lecia: You fought off Monika and myself and escaped from Amalthea. Those are the facts.
Lecia: But that doesn't mean it wasn't a fluke! Even if Monika accepts your strength, it doesn't mean I will.
Lecia: I want to test that strength. Again.
Black Knight: Humph. You're a peppy little princess. But like I said before, we don't have time to play.
Black Knight: If you want to cross swords with someone, run back to Amalthea and fight your tinier—
Lecia: I know where Prime Minister Freesia went.
Black Knight: What?
Lecia: The Crew of Enforcers has skyfarers positioned in every part of the Phantagrande Skydom.
Lecia: One told me that she had seen an imperial battleship docked in the local port—with the prime minister aboard.
Black Knight: For such a disorganized bunch, you occasionally do good work, don't you?
Black Knight: So why dangle this information in front of our noses like a carrot? What do you want?
Black Knight: Although whether we go along with it is up to us.
Lecia: What I want is a rematch.
Lecia: Prove yourselves to me. Prove what kind of skyfarers you are.
Lecia: And then, please... tell me where I fail as a captain.
Katalina: Hmm. Maybe this is better left unsaid...
Katalina: But if you've come here at your own discretion, then that shows a clear lack of both judgment and prudence.
Lecia: Eh-heh, well...
Lecia: A-anyway, I get the feeling I'll learn something from crossing swords with you!
Lecia: Monika knows your strength, but she's not the only one. I'm sure my father would acknowledge your power too.
Lecia: I have a long way to go before I can hold a candle to either of them. But I can at least work toward their level.
Lecia: So I'll be waiting by the Grandcypher.
Lecia nods to the crew before turning and leaving.
Rackam: What kinda weird war declaration was that?
Black Knight: Hah. Looks like the little girl's got some backbone after all.
Black Knight: It's rude to leave your adversaries waiting. Let's get to the Grandcypher and give her a rematch she won't forget!
