Dialogue/Eternal Winter's Ark 1-5B

Translated by Khosen

Ev 1-5B - A Huge Success!

Triaina:

Urghhhh! Is it because of how we had nothing but some thick insulators on the ground? My back hurts.

No, it's everywhere...Hey, Empress, can you give me a massage.

Empress:

You dare to ask me, who were awake all night as a night watcher?

I wanted to get some sleep, so I tried waking you up, and you were deep asleep!

Triaina:

Hmm? Ah~ I wondered why you didn't wake me up. I thought you were looking out for me?

I think Empress, you're the only one who truly cares about me, the Leader. You're the best crew!

So can you give me a massage? Yeah? Pretty please?

Empress:

...Fine, but as an exchange, I'll be the Leader from now on. Deal?

And from now on, you're in charge of night watching, Triaina...!

Alvis:

*Yum yum...* Hehe, I'm glad I brought extra chocolate bars.

LRL, would you like another one?

LRL:

*Mumble...* *Chuckles!* As expected of the White Beast of the Vampire Princess, I see you came prepared!

By the way, did Andvari give you this much? Looks like you brought a lot with you.

Alvis:

Hmm? What are you talking about?

When did we ever ask for permission?

LRL:

Erk...

I, I think I had enough. I'm full.

...And how many do you have left? I think it's not too late to return it back.

Alvis:

We only have a few left! I also gave them out to my sisters!

LRL:

...You've crossed the Rubicon.

Shouldn't you get something to eat? Aren't you hungry?

Glacias:

Thanks for asking, but I'm okay.

The weather's clear, and we know where we're headed, so I suppose all it is left is to let the wind carry us.

LRL:

Which means...

Alvis:

No way...!

Glacias:

Dear Noble Child.

I plan to soar high with you and your minions.

What do you say?

Alvis:

Whoa~! I'm down! Alvis really wanted to go for a ride.

What are you waiting for, LRL? Come here!

LRL:

I'm getting on the back of the real Glacias...

Hnnng...my dreams back in the lighthouse really did come true...

Ah, White Beast! I call shotgun!

Empress:

Oh? They're waving at us on the back of Glacias? I think she's flying us back.

Should we call it a day, Triania?

Triaina:

Uhh...yeah, let's go back to the Captain for a debrief.

...Good work out here, Empress.

Empress:

Oh? You don't need more massages? So I'm the Leader from now on, okay?

...No, wait. Did you know? Or were you planning this all along...and that's why you wanted to camp the night out...

And you were awake, right! So you were pretending to be asleep!

And you talked to me like a subordinate again...! Triaina, you're gonna regret this when I catch you?!

Alvis:

Whoa~! Look how high we're at right now!

LRL:

Kuk. Kuk. Kuk! If she wanted to, she could go up even higher!

Isn't that true, Glacias!

Glacias:

Indeed, as the Noble Child had said. However...

I see one bioroid ahead of us engaged in battle. If you know her...

Empress:

Huh? That red hair, isn't she the one from before?

It is her. She's fighting off the Iron Parasites with wires and explosives?

Triaina:

...This is why I can't quit exploring. Dragon!

Could you come with us to help us? I beg you!

Glacias:

My pleasure.

Hold on tight.

After the Battle

JangHwa:

...

Empress:

Oh? Wait. Don't just leave without saying anything. You don't know what's out there.

Come with us to safety.

Triaina:

My, my Empress. That's not how you recruit someone.

Look close. This is what it takes to be a Leader. Here's how it's done.

You, join my crew!

JangHwa:

Shut up.

Triaina:

This isn't working. Aw~ close, though. Let's use a different method...

Empress:

Hey, you just don't tell someone who just helped you to shut up!

Show some respect...Oh? Hey, I'm still talking to you.

JangHwa:

...What?

Let go.

LRL:

The wounds on your arms...I've seen it before.

You were attacked by the remains of an evil dragon! It's dangerous if you leave it untreated!

JangHwa:

...Huh?

LRL:

If you don't do anything about it, you'll be cursed for life!

Why don't you join my minions and me? My Familiar can cure any disease!

JangHwa:

What bullshit is this.

LRL:

...*Whimp!* Her eyes, they're scary...!

B, but... The Commander always told us to bring back the wounded if we saw any...

JangHwa:

...

Empress:

Hmm~?

Right, right. The 'Commander' did say that.

The 'Commander' always said to bring back the wounded before she gets cursed. Right, Vampire Princess?

LRL:

Uhh...*Chuckles,* of course.

I shall bring you back to my Familiar no matter what!

JangHwa:

Hey, don't force me...!

Triaina:

Empress! I just asked, the 'Commander' ar the Ark of Memories right now.

Perhaps if we hurry, we will see the 'Commander,' right?

Empress:

And if someone's lucky, she'll be able to have some alone time during the treatment with Him, too, right?

With the 'Commander~.'

JangHwa:

Okay, that's enough...!

Glacias:

There's only one way to overcome the fear of the unknown.

JangHwa:

...Huh?

Glacias:

It's to face it and realize what it is.

And for you to take that step...I don't think I need a further explanation.

JangHwa:

...Tsk. Every one of you has a finger in every pie.

...

...I'm just going to say hello.

Triaina:

Case closed.

I'm getting lowkey scared of how successful our expedition had been! I wonder what will happen in our next one!

Empress:

I'm glad Glacias helped us persuade her.

If we left her, I'm sure she'd act like a stray penguin who lost its herd.

Triaina:

No need to talk about what if...Ah, right!

I forgot to bring back a treasure!

Empress:

A treasure? But we haven't found any.

All we see around us are some random things around the ground...

Triaina:

You don't know what you're talking about!

It is not up to the object to determine its worth. It is up to us, who found it!

In that sense, this right here is worth more than gold!

Empress:

...Not bad.

Fine, why don't we bring back some of the things that are in mint condition around here?
