You did this one too,
didn't you, Judy?

Yep, that's right.

Hey Judith...the reason you were destroying
the Hermes blastia was because they were
a danger to the planet, right?

That's right.

So in other words, you did it
to save the world from harm?

I don't mind if you
think of it that way.

...Something about that just
doesn't make sense to me.

Why not just take down that Hermes
guy who was making the blastia?

Either that, or tell a mage
about it, or something...

...I was putting my life on the line to put
a stop to rogue blastia that were causing
strange effects on the world's aer.

No one would believe a
crazy story like that.

But! If you had only told me...!

You think you could have done something about
all of the Hermes blastia in the world, when
you don't even know how many there are?

I'm sure that you may have been
able to stop one or two of them,
with enough trying.

But you would surely die before you had
managed to take care of all of them.

...

Since you were with Ba'ul, there was something you
could do about the blastia going out of control.

Is that what you mean, Judy?

I don't have any way of making adjustments to
the blastia, so destroying it was the only way
I could make sure it wouldn't be a problem.

But...

You think we might be able to go by Aspio
the next time we get some free time?

Why bring that up all of a sudden?

It's about the Hermes blastia.
There's something I'd like
to investigate a bit.

...But you see...

Yeah, you'd like to go back
home, wouldn't you, Rita?

Not particularly...

All right, let's stop by there
when we have some time.

The city of Aspio's pretty
much gone now, isn't it?

Why bring that up all of a sudden?

There were several things I
wanted to investigate regarding
the Hermes blastia.

...Most of the city's books and other
resources were probably taken out
of the city by the refugee mages.

So then, if we find the mages that
fled from Aspio, Judy might be able
to investigate what she wants to.

Right.
