Monsters of the sky can amass by the thousands or even the millions, but they'll never reach the stars. The denizens of the sky must be taught that even reaching for the stars is a grave sin.

Allow me to explain... She was pulled away by an urgent matter. I shall be your opponent instead.

I heard a baseless rumor that Katalina asked you for private cooking lessons. Now's your chance to come clean!

It's been quite some time, my dearest Katalina. I hope you've been faring well?

Our match six years ago, when we battled for the position of Lord Commander... I once told you I had no regrets about our duel. But... I left something out.

It seems that we're both fighting to protect those we love. In that sense, I suppose this was more of a battle of wills than strength.

If that's the case, then how about you all take a short break in Albion? Unworthy as I am, I'd like to offer you the best hospitality that Albion can provide.

What do you think of Katalina, Captain?

Are you quite finished?

Here we go, Chevalier!

Horrible! How horrible, Katalina!

Hee-hee... Well, all I ever think about is Katalina.

(No... This is wrong... All wrong! Why would I ever want to run away from my Katalina?) (She was so worried about me, and she was so close, and...) ...!

Our match six years ago, when we battled for the position of Lord Commander... I once told you I had no regrets about our duel. But... I left something out.

When I was in Albion, come rain or shine, day or night... I always watched her no matter where she was or what she was doing.

Well, naturally, we won.

Keep talking and you'll be next on the menu, lizard...

Perfect fodder for dusting off my sword.

Albion does provide the empire with quite a bit of manpower. I suppose you could say we have a strong relationship... But as far as Katalina's disappearance, I'm afraid I have nothing to help you...

Shall I personally teach you about this delight?

Katalina... If this is what you truly want... I'll bear this burden for you!

Trips with Katalina are the best.

I ought to stick this knife back where it belongs. Now where exactly would that be?

Ahahaha! Ah, not enough! Not yet, not yet... haha!

Let me show you... the power of the stars!

You've traversed skydoms near and far, dearest captain. Show me what you've learned.

I appreciate the advice. However, the only person I must shine for is Katalina.

I see that you hesitate, but you have absolutely nothing to worry about. As a member of Katalina's crew, I would never do anything to sully your good name.

Feel free to try, but know that you face more than just some nameless girl. You will experience firsthand the power of I, Vira Lillie, and the guardian Chevalier!

Of course not! How else could I have seen the real Katalina? Seeing her as she was in private... For me, there could be no greater joy.

I do not require your assistance, and I'll not repeat myself again. I must win my darling Katalina by my own merits... And win her I shall!

Katalina? Is something the matter?

It's been quite some time, my dearest Katalina. I hope you've been faring well?

Oh, really? Then I'm afraid I'll have to get rid of you completely.

Never again will you look upon Katalina. Say your prayers.

I feared so much... I shut all others out. Even Katalina... But that ends today. It's time to finally show her all that I am.

Our fun is just beginning.

Now that I am proven the victor, you will keep your filthy gaze off of Katalina. Indeed, as Lord of Albion, you won't be conducting any vulgar acts under my watch.

You know, as a city, Albion is exceptionally large. But as an island, it's actually very small. A world this wide and free seems just like a fleeting dream.

By all rights, I should've become the sacrifice for summoning Chevalier, being that I'm the head of Albion. But I rose to this position while I was still a student. I know nothing of knighthood. So Chevalier didn't recognize me as a true knight...

The power, it's overflowing . . . ! This is all thanks to Chevalier, isn't it?

This child's play the sky rabble throws at us stands no chance against the might of Chevalier!

Oh my... I'm afraid you're the one who must die, no matter how clever your disguise.

Know that you face me at my most implacable. Consider yourselves warned.

(Blue and red, dancing in a grand hall... It's just like that day.)

I'm... fine... Pfft! Haha... Hahahaha! Everything is fine!

I can do this only because I'm thinking of Katalina!

The flame of Ninetails combined with your ancestral dances makes for a potent combination. If I have earned your trust, shall we venture to the hot springs of Mimaka together? I want to take Katalina, to—ahem—rejuvenate her from her travels.
