The Dormant Temple Stirs
The Heart of Snow Beats Once More
Opening the Illusory Treasure
A Path of Blood at the Bottom of the Box

• (Outside Ice Spirit Gorge)
• Unknown Warrior: We were a second too late... Nidhogg has already entered the camp, so our people have no way of going in.
• Louie: Then tell the men to surround Ice Spirit Gorge and standby. The second Nidhogg gets rHold of the plans for the Heart of Ice, we'll go in for the kill.
• Unknown Warrior: Captain! We've just received word that our reinforcements may not be on the way!
• Louie: Nothing to worry about, not with the new additions to our ranks. Besides, the Nameless Chivalric Order is accustomed to the solitude of the night; this time is no different.
• (Inside the Snowy Base Camp)
• Ozeca: I did not expect their defenses to be so powerful, Colonel. I take full responsibility for the heavy losses we've experienced.
• Nidhogg: There's no point to saying these things. All I care about is retrieving those plans.
• Ozeca: We still have a number of new recruits stationed outside the camp, but with their strength...
• Nidhogg: Let's go outside first.
• (Apple Federation Council Room)
• Kimi: I have carefully read the Order's report. If Reid obtains the Heart of Snow, Nidhogg will only grow stronger. I must go to Losol City myself to stop him, but I may need your help.
• Orlando: A moment's notice is all I need. Have you confirmed the time of the black market auction? As they only deal in cash, I fear you will need many guards to help protect your money.
• Kimi: I'm not worried about the money, I'm worried about that assassin, Shade. He may be the biggest obstacle to overcome.
• Orlando: If he really does appear, just leave him to me.
• (Mercury Group Council Room)
• Reid: This isn't good... I thought our operation was top secret, and yet Kimi appears to have seen right through it.
• Shade: That's your problem.
• Reid: One more thing. If we really do get into an open conflict with them... for my sake, don't just open fire like you did last time. Understood?
• Shade: ...Suit yourself.
• (Outside Camp No.7)
• Peachy: Why did I get transferred to this camp we rarely ever use? I can't even bring my test materials, what a waste... This is all because of that elf...
• Gray Raven: Sigh... If I'm not mistaken, he has keen tracking abilities. Maybe it's the wind, or the sunlight, or even the flow of water... But I shouldn't mention it, right?
• Peachy: (Whispers) So we just sit here and wait for our chance to fall from the sky?
• Gray Raven: Since he's never left that forest, I'm sure he'll use ordinary modes of travel to go north. Intercepting him here should be fine; besides, I've always wanted to meet an elf!

Kimi - Apple Apparel Group

Do you want to be an excellent designer? Welcome to the Apple Federation Apparel Group.

Expand to read the script.

• (Apple Federation Apparel Group, CEO Office)
• Joe: Lady Kimi, this is the champion of the Apple Federation's stylist competition.
• I: Greetings, Lady Kimi!
• Kimi: Greetings, and congratulations on your honorable victory.
• I: Thank you very much! I only meant to try my hand at this; I never thought I would win in the end!
• Kimi: The talented will always shine brighter than their peers, no matter where they go.
• I: Then... does this mean I can work for the Apple Federation Apparel Group now?
• Kimi: Of course. However, you will need to complete just one final task before you do.
• I: What is it? Some sort of background check?
• Kimi: Not at all. To be frank, it is the entire reason we held this stylist competition in the first place.
• I: I don't quite understand...
• Kimi: It's fine. It's true that we held this competition in order to recruit an outstanding stylist, but it isn't due to any shortage of workers.
• I: Oh, I get it! It's because of that task, right? What is it, then?
• Kimi: A rare design material has appeared in Losol City and the Mercury Group, backed by Nidhogg, has their eyes set on it. I need the help of a powerful stylist if I am to stop them.
• Kimi: The task may prove dangerous; would you be willing to travel to Losol City with me, nonetheless?
• I: Of course, I would! I never thought Lady Kimi herself would give me such an important mission... I won't let you down!
• Kimi: Then there's not a minute to waste. Joe Brownie, please get started on our travel arrangements.

Orlando - Federal Land Force

Will you join us in the army and protect the peace of the continent?

Expand to read the script.

• Orlando: As you will be the only new recruit in our operation, allow me to reiterate a number of matters.
• Orlando: We have two objectives to accomplish in Losol City.
• Orlando: The first is to protect Lady Kimi of the Apple Federation Apparel Group throughout the entirety of the mission.
• Orlando: The second is to prevent the Tyre Coalition's allies, the Mercury Group and Nidhogg, from obtaining the rare design material.
• Orlando: Anything aside from these two objectives does not concern us. Understood?
• I: Understood.
• Orlando: In addition, the Tyre Coalition will be deploying an elite team of stylists, just like our own, to escort Reid to Losol City and assist him in acquiring the rare material.
• Orlando: This elite team will be comprised of highly-trained Tyre Coalition assassins, most notably Shade, a peerless sniper assassin.
• Orlando: Your mission is to eliminate the Tyre Coalition assassins. As for Shade, leave him to me.
• I: Yes!
• Orlando: The enemy is fully aware of our current presence, so there is no need for discrete action.
• I: We're fighting them head-on?
• Orlando: No. Both sides have agreed not to engage in armed combat, except for under very special circumstances.
• Orlando: But never forget, this is only the beginning of the battle. Every victory and loss will ultimately affect the fate of Miraland and its people.
• I: Yes, sir!

Louie - Nameless Order

Choose this path, perhaps you can never have your own name. Are you ready? My comrades.

Expand to read the script.

• Louie: What's with you? You don't look too good…
• I: It's nothing… Just a little cold…
• Louie: It takes a while to acclimate to the air in the north. Here, drink this and warm your body up a bit.
• I: Cough! This stuff is strong!
• Louie: Just a little longer, and the sun will rise.
• I: Why does the initiation ceremony for the Nameless Chivalric Order have to be held at dawn?
• Louie: The night is often darkest just before the dawn. As we fight against the darkness, the light is always at our back.
• Louie: Upon joining in the Nameless Chivalric Order, you will forsake your own name; all that you hold dear will only ever exist in your memories.
• Louie: I believe you are now ready. From now on, we are comrades in arms, and solitary companions to the nameless dark.
• Louie: Our war is as endless as the snowfall in these lands. The hope, light, and warmth of the coming dawn are what we swear to protect. Now, hold your insignia and repeat after me.
• Louie: From this day forth, I forsake my name, my past, and all I hold dear…
• I: From this day forth, I forsake my name, my past, and all I hold dear…
• Louie: I hereby renounce my existence, and vow to wander the night in solitude, protecting the light of glory and striking through the darkness of night until my dying breath…
• I: I hereby renounce my existence, and vow to wander the night in solitude, protecting the light of glory and striking through the darkness of night until my dying breath…
• Louie: ...In hope of the coming dawn.
• I: ...In hope of the coming dawn.
• Louie: This, I solemnly swear.
• I: This, I solemnly swear!
• Louie: Good. With your vows complete, you are now one of us. Allow me to grant you a gift from our predecessors.
• I: Wow! This snowmobile is amazing! This is… for me?
• Louie: Get on. Let's head back to camp.
• I: W-Wait for me!

Kloris - Pigeon Forest

Are you willing to accept the blessing of the wind, to fight alongside me?

Expand to read the script.

• I: Huh? Is that a harp I hear? Who could be playing it right now?
• (In the cold moonlight, a silver-haired moonlight sits on the roof, plucking out a gentle melody. The end is long and drawn-out, with a hint of sadness.)
• I: (How beautiful…)
• Kloris: Who is there?
• I: It's me. We met earlier today, I saw you enlist.
• Kloris: …
• I: (Why isn't he saying anything? Looking closely at him… is he in a daze? I heard the Elf Prince likes to meditate, but this much? Even so, he's still so handsome…)
• Kloris: What are you looking at?
• I: Erm… uh, your harp is, uh, really pretty…
• Kloris: I brought this with me from Pigeon Forest.
• I: Pigeon Forest must be a beautiful place, right? I hope I can see it someday.
• Kloris: Indeed. For many years, we elves did not associate with mankind… but now, we are cooperating with one another.
• (Kloris stands. The bow on his back moves slightly in the wind, producing a small whistling sound.)
• Kloris: My original goal should be to converge with the Nameless Chivalric Order, but the wind tells me we may encounter a different enemy along the way…
• I: A different enemy? What should we do? Should we keep marching through the night to avoid them?
• Kloris: It is too late now. It would be best to steel yourself for the coming day's battle.
• I: Huh? Oh… alright. I won't disturb your meditation any longer.

Reid - Mercury Group

Mercury Group welcomes powerful stylists.

Expand to read the script.

• (Mercury Group Headquarters, CEO Office)
• Reid: So Lady Kimi has also decided to go to Losol City?
• The Secretary: Yes. I've just received a report: the Apple Federation has organized a number of master stylists. Their objective is most likely to disrupt our operation.
• Reid: Oh? How interesting. I may have to reconsider my methods, then.
• The Secretary: Do you mean to say you are no longer going to Losol City?
• Reid: Of course not. If you wish to make your opposition experience the most crushing sense of defeat, you must defeat them when they are strongest.
• The Secretary: I understand. Shall we arrange for that person from before to take care of the matter?
• Reid: Yes. I would like to see them in my office tomorrow, if possible. I have a number of matters to discuss with them.
• The Secretary: Very well.
• (The next day)
• Reid: Welcome to the Mercury Group. My name is Reid.
• I: Hello, Mr. Reid. I'm honored you took the time out of your busy schedule to meet with me today.
• Reid: The honor is all mine. Please, sit.
• I: You must have called me for a job, correct? How can I help you?
• Reid: I am traveling to Losol City for a certain item, but a number of… obstacles have appeared. I need help to get rid of those obstacles, and you can help me.
• I: I never thought you would need me for such an important task. What do you need me to do, specifically?
• Reid: Hmmhmm… perhaps it would be best if I explained the details on our way to Losol City?
• I: We're leaving right now?
• Reid: Yes. The helicopter is ready and waiting for you.

Shade - Invisible Blade

Invisible. Silent. Elusive. Join the Invisible Blade.

Expand to read the script.

• Shade: Hey! Who are you, and what business do you have here?
• I: I...I’m sorry to be late…
• Shade: Are you also a part of our expedition?
• I: Yes!
• Shade: You are really late… Being late by even a second can be the difference between success and failure. The Invisible Blade won’t belong to people like you.
• I: Awaiting orders!
• Shade: Our mission is to protect and escort the CEO of the Mercury Group to Losol City, and to assist him in retrieving an important design material.
• I: What do I need to do? Will we be facing any opposition?
• Shade: The CEO of the Apple Federation Apparel Group will also go to Losol City, and will be escorted by a team of specialists. Her goal is most likely to deter our mission. I have no doubts about your skill, but the use of weapons is forbidden for the mission.
• I: What? Why?
• Shade: Because it is part of the conditions on the mission. Even without any weapon, none can stop the Invisible Blade.
• I: Yes!
• Shade: Move out, and remain vigilant at all times.

Nidhogg - League Till

You’re going to join Tyre Coalition?

Expand to read the script.

• Ozeca: Colonel, this is our new recruit.
• (Nidhogg glances coolly in their direction)
• I: G-Good afternoon, Colonel Nidhogg!
• Ozeca: I've seen plenty of good soldiers retire in my days, so let me confirm one thing with you. Are you fully aware of the decision you have made?
• I: Yes, sir! Crystal-clear, sir!
• Ozeca: Not bad. Never lose that determination. Now come with me.
• I: The conference room? Will I be studying the basics from a book?
• Ozeca: Enough questions. Just open that file, and sign your name.
• I: This is… a final will and testament?
• Ozeca: Starting from where you're standing right now, you will be riding against the so-called "light" of the seven nations.
• Ozeca: Subjugated by a false peace, the people of this world yield to their curse, indulging in absurdity without even realizing it. We must shatter this reality.
• I: Your words… does this mean you are as war-hungry as the rumors make you out to be, Colonel?
• Ozeca: You ask too many questions.
• Nidhogg: I care little for the opinions of others. If bloodshed and sacrifice cannot be avoided, then we must face it head-on.
• Ozeca: Everything will fall into place once we achieve our objective. For now, just sign your name. There's plenty more for you to do.
• I: Yes!

Gray Raven - Sixth Clinic

Are you going to accept my makeover? You can gain unprecedented strength.

Expand to read the script.

• Peachy: Another newcomer? Looking for the doctor, right? He's pretty busy these days, what with all the new test subjects…
• I: Test subjects?
• Gray Raven: Do we have another guest, Peach?
• Peachy: Heehee, I'm only kidding! (Whispers) Don't tell the doctor, okay?
• Gray Raven: You, huh?
• Gray Raven: (Looks up and down) Hmm…
• Gray Raven: Very good… people come from all over to my lab seeking greater power and abilities. Tell me, why have you chosen to come here today?
• I: Because I want to become like you.
• Gray Raven: I sense… a great deal of ambition in your soul.
• Gray Raven: But I've studied more than my fair share of ordinary souls like yours. Do you have anything even more interesting to offer me in exchange?
• I: Well…
• (Peach giggles quietly at Gray Raven's words)
• Gray Raven: Don't trouble yourself too much over this. Just accept my… changes… and obey my instructions, and I will fulfill your desires one by one.
• I: Then… what do you need me to do?
• Gray Raven: An elf once passed through here. His name was… Kloris? I had never met an elf before… Does his body differ much from a human's? (Chuckles) I'm sure he'd make a fine specimen…
• I: Huh? You want me to fight an elf?!
• Gray Raven: Don't get ahead of yourself! You need only bring me one of his companions; I'll handle the rest, personally. Ahhhh, just thinking about it makes me shudder with excitement!
• Peachy: The operating room is just down the hall over there. Come find me when you've made your decision.
• I: Okay!
