It doesn't seem like that Flynn
character is around here.

Does that mean you're staying with us for now?

Well, I...
Would that be all right?

Karol, don't fill the princess's head with ideas.

You cannot simply do as
you wish. Your Highness
must return to the capital.

Flynn has already set out
to tend to other business.

Now then. Rita Mordio, we
would like you to investigate
yesterday's blastia malfunction.

...That's pointless. I looked at
him this morning, but I couldn't
figure anything out.

No, we would ask that you go
to the forest of Keiv Moc.

...Keiv Moc, huh? Oh yeah, the plants
affected by the disaster here look
just like the ones in that forest.

We have reports of tree mutations
and of monsters increasing in both
number and aggressiveness.

Messengers have gone to the
capital, but much time will be
wasted finding a gifted mage.

I specialize in blastia.
Plants are out of my league.

Consider their connection
to the aer. I imagine that
is within your league.

Besides...I... If Estelle is
going back to the capital,
I want to go with her.

What do you mean?

You are a researcher in an imperial
blastia laboratory. You must
undertake the tasks assigned to you.

Um... Then there should be
no problem if I accompany
her to the forest, right?

Princess, please, do not
make suggestions that are
simply out of the question.

If this does have something to
do with aer, then my healing
artes would prove useful.

Yes, they would...

Please, Alexei! Let me
do my part to help.

Your Highness, I simply
cannot allow you to go to
such a dangerous forest.

Well, what if...

Yuri, would you come with us?

Me?

If Yuri were to come, you
wouldn't be worried right?

Young man, please
escort the Princess.

I ask this of you only
because you once sought to
join the Imperial Knights.

...Of all the underhanded...
I didn't ask anybody to count on
me. You're pushing me into this.

It seems I can take that reply as
indication of your agreement.

But there's something I have
to do as well. We go to the
forest after Dahngrest.

Very well.

Your Excellency...

It seems Flynn foresaw
this outcome.

Huh? He did what?

He left this message for you:
“Take care of Her Highness.”

All right then, it's the
forest of Keiv Moc by
way of Dahngrest!

I have a job for you.
