Argh! I didn't think you guys were this strong!
That was close... Is everyone okay?
We're okay, but... It's almost like you guys knew we were coming. What do you guys want?
... Hmph! Don't ask me, ! I can't remember anything money non-related!
Eheheh. So torture seems necessary before you will answer our question.
Whoa! Snezhana is upset. I don't know who you are, but I feel sorry for you!
Uh... What?! What did you say?! You won't even let a surrendered opponent off?! That's too mean! See, Babs?! It isn't safe here!
I know! Let's retreat. This way!
They got away, Looks like they've come prepared and even planned a retreat route.
Were those two, assassins from Rasparta?
I don't think so. Their fighting style is different from Rasparta's men. But they don't seem like normal bandits either.
They're most likely mercenaries Rasparta hired... But why did they come to the library? I've no idea what they came here for.
2. Stage 109-3, before the battle
7 linesSpeaking of which, they seemed to be arguing before they attacked us. What exactly did they come here for...?
They might have something to do with Toph being missing. Let's search the library again carefully.
Good point. By the way... judging from what happened, it looks like Rasparta planned this, knowing where we are and what we are up to.
... Guys, stop talking. Do you hear that?
Huh? Hear what...?
... Mmmm! Mmm... Mmmm...
Is it... someone's voice...?
3. Stage 109-10, after the battle
11 linesToph?! Toph! Is it you? Hang in there! I'm coming to save you now!
It seems to be coming from further inside...
B-but, this is the further we can get now. There's only a wall in front of us. Where the heck is Toph?
If you remember, those two who just attacked us popped out from nowhere. So there must be some...
Mmmm, ! ...Mmm... Mmmm...!
At this point, Awakener noticed a trace on the floor that seemed to be left by dragging a heavy object. The trace went all the way to the wall and suddenly stopped.
Could it be here?! There must be some kind of trigger...
Step aside! This kind of things...!
Taweret pushed Awakener and the others aside and slashed an ax with full force. The wall fell down, revealing a path further into the library.
Found it. This is a hidden room, right?! I'm coming to save you now!
H-how strong...! Taweret, wait! I'm coming with you!
