It came out!
You're kidding.
I'm so glad to have my spear back.
Leviathan, behind you!
The holy ground of pillars, located in a hidden place.
The few serving the gods,
together with the holy ground,
serving for generations as protectors.
Honnou ni massugu to kiseki wo I want to try following my instincts
Shinjite mitainda And believing in miracles
Koe ni natteku kodou hajimari wa My heartbeat becomes a voice
Shoudou no PRISM The beginning is a prism of urges
Wasuretakunai nukumori ga fui ni itamu kara Because the warmth I don't want to forget unexpectedly hurts
Namida no wake wa ima mo wakarazuni iru yo I still don't understand the reason for these tears
Saisei ni irodorareta kako A past colored by regeneration
Tsuyoku naru koto wa tadashii no? Is becoming stronger the correct thing to do?
Oshiete yo Tell me
Ai no mama de fureta negai wo To protect the desire I touched out of hope
Mamoru tame kakenuketai I must run through
Mou nani mo osoretakunainda I don't want to be afraid of anything anymore
Habataku saki e Resolution Flying towards the Resolution
Break it myself
Set me, Three Two One!
Leviathan!
That's...
A Lucasite!
It's Definitely Suspicious!
My spear...
Good...
Girls, protect Leviathan!
Leave it to me!
We'll never make any progress like this!
Hey, someone!
Stop him!
I'll take care of it!
Nice!
Leviathan!
Now!
What's wrong, Levi-tan?
How pathetic.
I was hoping it would defeat them.
I thought it would be a little more useful.
Are you awake?
Thank goodness...
Where am I?
Do not push yourself too hard yet.
You'll reopen your wounds.
Who are you?
My name is Hequet.
I work at this temple.
She saved all of us.
I see. We...
This way.
Everyone!
Yeah!
My spear!
Where is my spear?
If you hadn't protected us, I don't know what would have happened.
Thank you.
No need to thank me.
Are you all right, Hequet?
Yes. I just need to rest a little...
Keeping up the barrier must use a lot of stamina.
You said you work at this temple.
Are you a priestess?
Yes. My family has served here for generations.
Your family? Where are the others?
I am currently protecting this place alone.
What? All by yourself?
But someday, I will pledge myself to the good lords,
and must choose a successor.
I must, but...
Meeting someone...
You don't meet many people?
It is a serious problem.
I guess it's a little tough living in here.
Protecting the temple is my job.
I cannot leave this place.
Protect...
We need to do something about that monster quickly!
I put up a barrier, so this place is safe.
Why did you come to a place with a monster?
We came without knowing the Lucasite was here.
We're the Aquafall Defense.
"We"?
Your only two members are Syrorin and Jörm, right?
What?!
In other words, are you saying you can defeat that evil creature?
Well, we hope to someday...
I see. Please listen, then.
It happened a month ago.
It began when the floating islands pouring holy water into the spring fell to the ground.
The life in the area was extinguished by the insects released by the evil creature.
The spring said to exist since the creation of the world dried up.
Does that mean this area became a desert because of that Lucasite?
This holy place has been known since ancient times as the Keystone of Aquafall.
Our ancestors treated this place as a temple,
and we have protected it for generations.
What's here?
Unfortunately, that was not passed down.
The history of this holy place is unclear.
What? Why don't you know something so important?
It wasn't me!
Suspicious, suspicious, suspicious!
I do not have much, but come with me.
It's delicious.
And it feels very nostalgic.
Is this water?
It is water from the spring flowing from this temple.
No wonder it's so good.
But didn't the spring dry up?
Yes. I had drawn that water previously.
This is all that is left.
What?
Just this?
Yes, this is all.
We're sorry!
Do not worry about it.
It was drunk by people who remembered the flavor of the spring.
All is well.
But what will you do without water?
Wh-what are we going to do?
I'll try summoning some.
What?
But you just used your magic, and you're still hurt...
It's all right. I'm a water user.
Water, please. Come to me.
Fill this jug.
Are you okay, Levi-tan?
Good work, Leviathan. You did it.
Amazing. You can summon water...
This is the most I can do right now.
I'm sorry.
No, I am sorry for pushing you too hard.
But won't you run out again immediately with only that much?
Let's leave this temple together.
Oh, right. That's what we should do.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
However, I cannot leave this place.
Why not?
Protecting the temple is a priestess's job.
No matter what happens, I cannot leave this place.
But this place is dangerous.
There's a monster right in front of you.
All the more reason I must continue protecting this place.
But by yourself...
Do not worry. I am a priestess.
My life is tied to this temple.
Don't prepare yourself for that.
You're making it sound like you can't be saved.
What a kind fairy.
Why is that monster here?
This is an ancient holy place.
There must be something here...
This holy place, the keystone of the planet...
Why was my spear there?
Your spear suddenly appeared on the altar last night.
I attempted to inspect the spear, but I could not remove it.
That's right.
Not even I could pull it out.
There might be something weird about that.
Since you were able to remove it, you may be special.
I don't know if I'm special...
But it doesn't make sense.
This spear disappeared, stuck in a monster's eye.
We pursued the monster to take back the spear.
What was it doing stuck in the altar?
Did someone put it there for some purpose?
Or could there be something about this spear?
That spear does seem to have a will of its own...
But that boy was the one who told us to go to the desert.
We wouldn't have come here if not for that.
I haven't met that kid, so I don't know anything about him.
Does he seem suspicious?
Well, when you put it that way...
He seems like a normal boy.
Yeah, he's normal.
Is he really normal?
This spear of mine and that boy...
Could there be some special meaning, Onii-chan?
It will be dawn soon.
You should leave before it becomes hot.
If you use the hidden passage, you can safely escape outside.
Does your wound still hurt?
Yes, a little...
But I'm fine.
I only treated you with first aid.
Do not push yourself too hard.
Thank you.
This way.
Up ahead, go left.
Go up at the end.
Be careful.
Sorry for slowing everyone down.
There's no need to be so formal.
Don't worry about it.
This was supposed to be my vacation, but it turned into a long journey.
You'll pay me for our journey through the desert, right?
No.
Why not?
If anything, you should give me a bonus!
I didn't come to the desert on vacation.
What?!
Up at the end.
It must be this hole.
I can't believe it's changed so much...
It must be hard for Kero-chan being born a priestess.
Kero-chan?
That was her name, right?
Hequet!
Oh, Hequet...
What's wrong with Kero-chan?
Your memory is unbelievably awful.
Your memories are just too good.
No!
I wonder if she'll be all right?
She's only about as old as my little sisters.
I'm worried about her being on her own.
Let's go back and fight.
You won't be able to defeat it just because you want to.
There he is!
You...
Is this the boy you've been talking about?
You told us the monster had gone to the desert.
Where is it?
I don't know.
But you've got your spear.
You found it, didn't you?
Yes, but...
Oh? Are you hurt?
Rajima Volcano isn't far from here.
The hot springs there are supposed to heal wounds.
How kind of you to let us know.
Anyway, what do you mean, we can't defeat it just because we want to?
What do you know?
I know everything.
Just kidding.
But don't you think you'll be stronger if you go?
Look.
It's north of here.
What will happen if we go there?
He's gone.
He disappeared again.
I see.
He's more suspicious than you said.
Let's go to Rajima Volcano.
What?
Wait, you believe him?
Even though he's clearly suspicious?
That's right. It's like walking into a trap.
Is it a trap?
Just like that boy said, I got my spear back.
If it will make me stronger...
If it will allow me to drive away the Lucasite in the temple...
I will go.
I want to do something about that Lucasite, too.
I'll go with you.
If Syrorin's going, I'll go, too.
But you're injured. There's something wrong with you.
I guess we can't help it if we're going to heal your wounds in the hot springs.
Besides, I'd like to drink water from this spring.
Let's turn this back into the beautiful place it once was.
Let's do it for Kero-chan, too.
Yeah.
The bags!
What are you doing?
Those are my bags!
Sorry!
I'm subtracting this from your pay.
What?
