Observatory, Closed

All right! Solid hit! But that's not enough! It's not nearly enough!

Once the enemy's hurt, it's time to turn up the heat! We've still got more rounds, right?

Aye, aye, captain! We brought as much as we could!

Good! All right, Fujimaru! Get going!

If the stars are in the sky, you can use them to guide your path! There's only room for us here!

We...fine here... That's why...yeah.

Good luck...Master...

That's right. Not only am I, Euryale, here, but so am I, Stheno! Well, that Meduseless is here too, I guess.

That means we can buy you infinite time. Come, Asterios!

Yeah...! Get on... My shoulders...

Yes. Let's go, me (Stheno)!

This is a good opportunity to see who's the best hunter...!

...Don't...overdo it.

Heheh. Not happening. We're both going to work super hard and be reckless.

There aren't many times when you can really let loose without being considerate.

...Yeah. Okay... I'm gonna...kick some...butt...too!

Kyah!? Going wild is fine, but remember you're still my ride!

S-sorry! I won't go...too hard...

Oh, right. Euryale!

Hmm? What is it?

Send everybody off with a song! Something that will cheer Fujimaru on!

Oh, a request? How wonderful! Just for today!

Okay, Fujimaru! Don't stop moving because my song entrances you!

Aww, they're so lucky! They get to flirt with Euryale-chan over there! So lucky!

I want to play with her too. I WANNA PLAY!

But I will turn my resentment into power! Come on, let's kill this stupid squid thing!

I am not a squid. I am a ray. You, especially, are unacceptable.

Hey, why am I the only one you keep talking to like that? Do you think I'm one of you or something? Wow, scary!

Okay, I'm scared, so I'm definitely going to kill you!

Hey! Eyes! Nose! No nose! Just eyes! Eyes! Eyes!

That thing's got nothing but eyes!

He does look kind of powerful when he does things like that.

A lot of guys look cool until they open their mouths.

Eric in particular surprised me. And since he's still a king, should we speak to him more politely?

There's no need for that now. For your information, I'm one of those guys who should keep his mouth shut, too.

Wh-why did you only make garbled screams in a weird voice this whole time?

Gunnhild...gets upset if I talk to other women...

It's fine if she gets upset... But sometimes she curses them...

I-I didn't expect to hear about the dark side of a happy couple at a time like this!

It doesn't matter. I'm always summoned as a Berserker... So, it works.

Anyway, I'm off to go fight a bit more. Raaa!

Dadadadadadadada! KILL! KILL! KILLKILLKILLKILLLL!

Oh-ho, Eric's going postal here! Guess I'd better join in!

Tch! Feels like we're late to the game! As the heroines of Blackbeard's Pirates, we can't lose this fight!

Aye, that's right. We'll crush all our foes, just like we did in that last battle!

But things are different this time! Our captain may be an idiot, but he puts himself on the front line!

Aye, right indeed.

Hooot! My butt! My butt! My butt is on fiiiiiire!!!

Bucket! Bucket! BUCKET!

He really is an idiot, though...

...Hahh! ...Okay, it's calmed down a little.

Yup yup. Leave the rest to me, and relax.

By the way, Abishag, I found a lovely island. Let's go visit it when this battle is over.

I'm not Abishag.

No, it's okay. To me, any pretty girl I see is Abishag. It's a wonderful thing.

Hahahaha. Wow, that is really not okay. Get out there and fling some stones! There's not even a drop of alcohol, you drunk!

Aww, you're no fun. But I suppose there's nothing I can do.

This is the perfect time to show Fujimaru that I can be trusted.

I'll do it, and I'll do it well. Even if, supposedly, my foe is my son, or at least someone claiming to be.

Darling! Daaarling! Were you watching!? Were yooou!?

I was so cool, wasn't I!?

Oh, yeah, yeah. You were very cool. Yeah.

Say it like you mean it! You're making me super mad!

Can you stop talking like an airhead? It's damaging the reputation of goddesses everywhere!

You might be okay with it, but the other goddesses are complaining! To me! Look, I have four letters from them!

"It's fine to be all lovey-dovey, but keep her on a shorter leash." "All moon goddesses are dippy!"

"Please, get a room." "You've got to be kitten me!"

Are you telling me you're cheating on me?

No. Absolutely not.

Stop giving me that vacant, ditzy look! Okay? Okay!? Look, the enemy's here!

Darling, let's have a LOOONG talk later, okay?

Everything's fine! Don't worry! You're the only one I love!

I mean it! Really! You're the only one for me!

Weeell, even if there's no love between you two, aren't you fulfilled physically? Ah, sleeping with a pretty girl is nice. No better way to rest one's cold, weary bones.

Yeah, there have been some tasty moments.

...Wait, what'd I just say!?

Yup, once this battle's over, let's be happy together.

Maybe at the bottom of the sea.

That's a double suicide! No way!

...Hehe. Heheheh. It's okay. I can still keep going!

Even if there's a weird king who's trying to seduce me, or a goddess I worship is starting a stupid lover's quarrel...

I won't let that get me down!

The children's smiles! Everything like that! It's all giving me energy!

Now who's next? You? You!? Come at me!

Even without the protection of my goddess, I'm energized enough to take out even a Calydonian Boar right now!

But you know, I wish I had better companions...

I would have even taken that stupid speedster...

Ooooh! Hiya! Hah! Heh! Damn it! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! No, I'm gonna live! No, I'm gonna die!

Damn it all! What got into me!? A chance to restore my name, huh...?

I was drawn in by that promise and ended up summoned to a place like this...!

I'm a Heroic Spirit who fights with wisdom and courage! I don't wanna fight in a battlefield where there's ten times more enemies than us!

I want to win the easy way! So I'm going to go home! My home turf is a place where I don't have to think about anything!

Um, Lord Jason, wasn't it our bond that summoned you here...?

I was delusional! Delusional! I let you drag me here!

I understand how Heracles feels a little now! I can't understand what he says but I can feel him!

Damn you, Hera! Why am I stuck with you even after becoming a Heroic Spirit?

Once more! Once more! I want a do-over! I want to restart my adventure smarter and stronger!

I-it's okay! I'll protect you, Lord Jason!

Hektor's here, too... Right!?

Right, right. Defensive battles are my specialty. Me and the Argonauts can hold the line for a while.

Huh!?

Are you idiots!? I mean, maybe Medea is, but you too, Hektor?

Don't you go stupid on me too! And you call yourself the guardian of Troy?

You and Medea both need to go support Heracles, now!

Clear a path for him so he can concentrate on offense!

H-huh!? What about defending this place?

Are you willing to sacrifice our one tiny hope of victory, idiot!? Listen, this is just a simple math problem!

Instead of turning one into ten, it's much better if we turn ten into one hundred!

Make the Argonauts a ten, and we'll be toast! We'd be a million times better off making Heracles a hundred!

Right, Heracles? You may be completely out of your mind, but we're talking about war. You know what I'm saying?

... (Grin)

That's right! You guys all back Heracles up!

And I'll wait here! It's a pain in the butt, but I'll show you how to use the sails!

... (Sigh)

...

Heheh. Hektor, you look completely bewildered.

That's my Lord Jason.

When Jason gets big-headed, he can really turn into a total loser.

But when you put him under a ton of pressure, and when he starts to get anxious about his own life...

He gets really smart! And really cool!

Uh, I mean, that's part of it, but...

It's just that I finally figured out why this old man ended up on your side in Okeanos.

Oh, yes. I see. They're a lot alike.

The way he only shows his stuff as a hero when he's under a ton of pressure... Yep, it's just like my dumb little brother!

Their looks and personalities are completely different, though. Anyway, let's try not to let the bond we forged slip away!

Yes, let's go. We'll support you, Heracles!

I, Medea, will support and strengthen you with everything I have. Show them the power of the famous hero of myth!

!!!

See ya, Captain Jason! Just stay there and wait for good news!

...Idiot. There's not going to be any good news. We've been sent here to be chewed up and spit out.

Aah, dammit. I'm going to die for nothing again, I bet!

...I can't believe it. I never thought I'd see the day you'd impress me, not since I became a Heroic Spirit.

I'm speechless.

Huh?

Um... That voice...

I was just saying that you did the right thing. The best thing you can do here is to let Heracles fight to his fullest.

... (Sigh) I have a bond with Fujimaru, so I shall help out a bit as well.

Gyah! It's the real one!

...Ugh, that made my head hurt. That Medea over there is real, too.

It's true that we've come here to die, but our job is to delay the enemy for every possible second.

You're the captain. I can protect you for a short while. Use that time to move the Argonauts to distract them.

Now get to it! You're better with the sails than Heracles, aren't you?

Dammit... What a nightmare...! Two of them! Two of them at once!

If this is a dream, I hope I can wake up soon!

Come, Fujimaru!

Get a move on. The wind won't be at your back forever!
