Embrasque! We owe you for bailing us out during the whole thing with Diaspora! Without you, we would've... Ugh... Definitely not something I want to think about.

Zeta! Did you really yell "see ya" when you threw away the core!

So that's Diaspora?

I've dodged more bullets and arrows than I've blinked at this point. You're gonna have to bring your A game next time!

If you're going to pick a fight, expect retaliation. Even someone who's not a noble would understand that. Oh look, I just struck your precious heir. Guess that means I'm disowned for good. Well, I'm out of here.

Huh? That sounds like the little robot... Raybury?

Hmm. That was pretty helpful... but I would've been able to make an opening on my own!

Hmm, I can't imagine myself in anything like that, but I'll try it on anyway!

Hahahah! I bet Cassius is already thinking of what to eat once they've touched down!

Geez, Louise... Just when I thought she couldn't get any more terrifying...

Damn it... I hate being played around with...

Don't look now, but the new squad's panicking now that they're surrounded!

Sob, Zeta...

Don't let him get to you, Gwynne. Arguing with him is a one-way trip to Frustrationville.

Hehe. Of course it is. Nothing could be easier than making salad!

Yeah right, like we're gonna team up with the jokers that trashed the town.

Oh, the two-star place? The restaurant's right here. See? It's written right here on the menu. "Chocolate Parfait Ramen."

So that's Diaspora?

It's all right, Zeta. I'm the one at fault. If I hadn't tried to take credit for everything here, this never would've happened...

I see! It's crazy how we managed to bump into each other... This has gotta be fate!

Yeah... I wouldn't trade the Sky Realm for anything. So count me in on the operation, Sergeant!

Well, well. Look who came out on top! Impressed yet, Eustace?

Aaaaah!

Huh? Wha? Logical? I mean, it's logical enough, I guess... Okay, fine... Here it is. Rrgh... My precious all-you-can-eat pass... My dream of eating my way across town...

Sorry—even I only saw you as a tool to vanquish my enemies. But it's okay; you and I are equals now. No matter what happens, I'll fight alongside you! I swear I'll take on every fate that comes our way! So lend me your strength, Embrasque!

Whoa, so you blend magic and swordplay? That totally sounds like something I'd wanna do—if it weren't so complicated, I mean.

Once we're presentable, let's hit the shops! We'll pick out fashionable clothes and then treat ourselves to a nice meal! I can already picture the layers upon layers of pancakes topped with whipped cream, ice cream, honey... Oh, and we can't forget the strawberry jam!

It's a matching design with the armor that Zeta had custom-made before! I really liked her new tough-girl look.

I could get him to come over by causing a ruckus... No, they'd all come at me in full force. What was it they taught us back in my trainee days...

I can push through the pain. Come on now, Eustaaace! Do it!

Kay, here I go! Sword of Embrasque... Devour destiny! How's that?

Yeah... Sorry for being a downer, Mahira! And thanks a ton for all the help! I'm gonna keep pushing on with my Embrasque!
