Chapter 19 - Confusion
Fail Urus: (That person is amazing…)
Fail Urus: (He won the people over and manipulated them, as if they were echoes controlled by song.)
Nelpha Maxi: …Thecto, Fail, stay close to me.
Thecto Sis: Nel…
Nelpha Maxi: You’ll be fine…Let's get out of the square.
Balaeno: Find the traitors!
Balaeno: Bring them to justice!
Thecto Sis: Ba…Balaeno?
Balaeno: I’m blending in.
Nelpha Maxi: Not bad. You guys should do the same so you don’t stand out.
Thecto Sis: But…
Nelpha Maxi: Just push through it. They'll get suspicious if we look out of place. That goes for you too, Eleu Coge.
Eleu Coge: Hm………
Fail Urus: Mr. Eleu?
Eleu Coge: Sorry, but it seems we’re a bit too late.
Imperial Soldier: You there…! I've seen you on the battlefield!
Imperial Soldier: You! Put your hands up and show your face!
Man: What's going on? What happened?
Woman: Did they catch a spy!?
Eleu Coge: Sigh………
Eleu Coge: Is this what you wanted?
Imperial Soldier: Ah…! That’s Eleu Coge, a Federation agent!
Man: A Federation agent!?
Woman: Everyone! There's a spy here!
Eleu Coge: Hm………
Eleu Coge: Balaeno.
Balaeno: Yes.
Eleu Coge: I’m trusting you with those children.
Balaeno: Got it!
Nelpha Maxi: Wh…Eleu…!
Balaeno: Alright, we're outta here!
Imperial Soldier A: Those boys are trying to escape!
Imperial Soldier B: They wouldn’t be runnin’ if they had nothing to hide!
Imperial Soldier A: They're in disguise! They're only pretending to be children, they’re actually Federation spies…!
Thecto Sis: Ah…!? What are you all talk-
[BANG!]
Eleu Coge: I'll deal with them. You Imperial pigs are only good at intimidating children.
Imperial Soldier: What did you say…!?
Imperial Soldier: Capture Eleu Coge! Take him down!
Fail Urus: Thecto, now's our chance!
Thecto Sis: But…!
Fail Urus: Let's follow Balaeno for now!
Nelpha Maxi: Fail's right! Follow Balaeno and get out of the square!
Thecto Sis: What about you, Nel!?
Nelpha Maxi: ………
Nelpha Maxi: …I'll go help him. He’ll get killed at this rate. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I just stood by.
Nelpha Maxi: Fail, I'm leaving Thecto in your hands!
Fail Urus: Got it! Come on, Thecto…!
Thecto Sis: Hah…!
Thecto Sis: (Airio isn't here…)
Suncia Panthera: Airio, catch up with the western unit!
Airio Sis: Understood!
Airio Sis: Vice Captain Suncia! Are we really supposed to arrest anyone who looks suspicious!?
Airio Sis: I feel like…Everyone’s turning on each other…
Suncia Panthera: ………
Suncia Panthera: That’s not for you to decide. There’s no way for us to harm anyone before trials if we detain them all.
Airio Sis: They're… all going to stand trial? This many people…?
Airio Sis: How many years would that even take? And what if we can't manage it…?
Suncia Panthera: …Just go!
Airio Sis: Y-Yes, sir…!
Airio Sis: (Lord Umarit said it himself. He told us not to forgive those who attacked His Majesty, our Emperor.)
Airio Sis: (And he's right. I can't forgive them either. Listening to that speech got me so worked up I was shaking, but…)
Woman: Stop, you've got it wrong…!
Man: What do you think you’re doing?! Stop spreading baseless information…!
Airio Sis: (But I don't feel like these people are really the enemy.)
Soldier: Stay alert! The spies are cunning, they pose as victims to infiltrate our ranks!
Airio Sis: (Oh… I see. Is that it? …Is it really?)
Woman: Wait! Please, listen to me!
Airio Sis: (What on earth is going on?)
