In Full Bloom
Airio Sis: (Airio's Arca Song)
Airio Sis: Go...!
Echo Knight: Guh ...........! How does he have this much power...!
Lklein Manni: (Airio is incredible...)
Lklein Manni: (Speed, muscle, explosive power, endurance. He stands out in every category even among the elite ranks of the Echo Knights.)
Lklein Manni: (It's like he was reborn through Echo Fusion...)
Lklein Manni: (Into some kind of legendary hero.)
Echo Knight: Guh...! Barely dodged that!
Airio Sis: ...One more time!
Echo Knight: EEEKK...! Hold on! I give up! I surrender...!
Airio Sis: Awww, what?! Just spar with me a little longer!
Echo Knight: None of us can match you anymore. Lord Suncia, or... no.
Echo Knight: At this point, only Lord Umarit himself might be able to.
Lklein Manni: Lord Umarit's not going to spar with him, though.
Umarit Imuse: I could, if you'd like.
Lklein Manni: Wha-?!
Echo Knight: U-?!
Airio Sis: Lord Umarit...!
Umarit Imuse: I don't mind sparring with you.
Suncia Panthera: L-Lord Umarit, surely you jest. He's just a boy, freshly recovered from injury at that.
Umarit Imuse: So?
Suncia Panthera: His skill isn't at a level where he could match you...
Airio Sis: Please, I'm begging you...!!
Lklein Manni: This colossal idiot...
Airio Sis: Lord Umarit! Please, spar with me!!
Umarit Imuse: Suncia, a practice sword.
Suncia Panthera: Ah, wait, ho-
Umarit Imuse: A live blade will do, won't it?
Suncia Panthera: Wait...! P-P-Please, wait a moment!
Umarit Imuse: What?
Suncia Panthera: H-he's still just a child.
Airio Sis: I'm not a child!!
Lklein Manni: He really is an idiot...
Airio Sis: Please, spar with me! I want to beat you and become the greatest Echo Knight in the whole Empire!
Umarit Imuse: Some admirable ambition you got there. Though I don't tend to let Echo Knights stronger than myself keep living.
Lklein Manni: Ah...........!
Suncia Panthera: Guh..........!
Umarit Imuse: I'm joking.
Airio Sis: You scared me!
Lklein Manni: (My heart...)
Suncia Panthera: (I thought it was going to leap right out of my chest...)
Tauran Tiaca: Lord Umarit!
Umarit Imuse: Tauran.
Tauran Tiaca: His Majesty Gtri is calling for you. Lklein, escort Lord Umarit into the residence.
Lklein Manni: Understood.
Umarit Imuse: Too bad, kid.
Airio Sis: Yes, sir... But there's always next time.
Umarit Imuse: Let's go.
Lklein Manni: Yes, sir.
[Inside the residence hallways.]
Umarit Imuse: Tauran really does worry too much. Did he think I was going to cut that boy down?
Lklein Manni: (...So he noticed.)
Umarit Imuse: Your name’s Lklein, wasn't it?
Lklein Manni: Yes, sir.
Umarit Imuse: I hear you were at Ecolina Village the other day.
Lklein Manni: Yes, sir... Along with the Echo Knights.
Umarit Imuse: Didn't it occur to you to wait and face the Federation forces head-on? To avenge your father?
Lklein Manni: That's...Airio was badly wounded, and...Vice-Captain Suncia ordered a withdrawal...
Umarit Imuse: Hmph. You’re always washing yourself of the blame. Making it everyone else’ problem.
Lklein Manni: ...........
Umarit Imuse: No wonder the Kingdom of Manni fell. It never had a hero to begin with.
Lklein Manni: ...Wh...
Umarit Imuse: You've done well enough. You needn't accompany me any further.
Lklein Manni: ...Kh ...Damn it...
Lklein Manni: ...Damn it all...!
