I'm so glad the
core is safe.

Wow, the aque blastia
core is so small.

So, we've got your blastia core back.
I guess that's case closed.

Yes, but we weren't
able to take Barbos
into custody...

Yes... That is one
point of regret.

What are you talking about?
A creep like that is better
off--

Ow!

Besides, it's a little early to
say the problem's solved.

Yeah. We have to make
sure this thing still works.

...

Blastia cores don't break
all that easily.

Huh. Bet you didn't know
that, did ya Ra--
...Raven?

Jeez, what is up with
that guy... Just showing
up whenever he wants.

You're one to talk, Rita.

It takes all kinds, I suppose.

He probably headed back to Dahngrest.
I'm sure we can find him if we need to.

I also must head back ahead of you.
I have to check on the work I left
in my subordinates' hands.

Your Highness, please allow
me to accompany you back.

Well... Would it be all right for
me to stay with everyone else
for just a little while longer?

I guess I don't mind watching over an
unreasonable princess a bit longer.

Shouldn't that be easier for you, too?
We'll make sure we get her back to Dahngrest.

...Understood. In exchange, I'm
counting on you not to make any
mistakes. And no detours, okay?

Got it, got it.

I will see you in
Dahngrest, then.

Thank you.

Why do you look so sad?
Are you okay?

I was just thinking, I still owe that
creep Dedecchi a good beating.

You got the blastia back, isn't
that enough? Why chase after
some stupid thief?

Yeah, I guess you're right.
If I ever cross paths with him
though, he's in for a surprise.

...Waiting for me in hell, huh?
Why'd he have to go and say that?

Hey, come on already, let's
get back to Dahngrest.

Well, I will take my leave from you here.

Off to meet up with your partner?

Partner?
Who do you mean?

We'll be operating individually
from now on. That way we won't
interfere with each other's work.

I see. Well, see you later.

Yeah...
