These are all
blastia cores!

Why are there so many?
And they're all just cores.

I have no idea. We don't
even have this many at
the laboratory!

Could this be connected
to the core thief?

Could be.

But I thought the one behind
everything was a huge guy with one
eye. That doesn't fit Ragou at all.

Then he might not be the only
one pulling the strings.

I wonder if the core from the
lower quarter is here someplace.

Sorry, none of these
are big enough.

I knew it. These guys are with
the Blood Alliance. They're one
of the five master guilds.

Out of my way!

Aaah!

Hah. Was that spineless worm Ragou
running from a bunch of kids?

One-eyed giant... So you're the one getting
people to bring you all these cores?

Maybe I am...

You're quick and you've got guts,
too. My arm's gonna feel that...
Wish I had you in my guild.

How flattering.

But it's pushy guys like you I have to
watch out for. Upsets the harmony of
the guild, see? Nothing personal...

Barbos, what are you waiting
for? Dispose of these brats!

I did all the work you paid me for. Besides,
the Knights'll be here soon. Rather not have
those guys following me around.

Next time we meet, you kids
won't be getting off so easy.

Wait! He's still
inside...! Damn!

Zagi! We'll leave the rest to you!

Who is it? Who do I
get to kill this time?

You're the one from the castle!

Looks like we're stuck with this guy.

My blade, it aches to...kill...
I've got to kill something!

Whoa... Go easy on me this time.

Graaah!!
That hurts...

You put up a good fight.

...I-I'm finished...

...Heh heh heh.
Mwa hah hah hah hah!!

You're tough! Yes, tough!
You're definitely tough!
I certainly won't forget that, Yuri!

I'm going to kill you, Yuri!!
Gonna carve you into little pieces!
Don't move a muscle...!

Mwa hah hah hah hah.

What?
...It's sinking!

Everyone into the water!

...*Cough*...
Is anyone there?

Yuri!

Estellise! No!

But...but...

Shut up and jump!
