Memory loss spurs angry quarreling between old friends throughout the Belt. Monika leaves to quell the fighting, and Alliah offers to help the crew find their friends. Alliah reveals that Kikuri's rampage was likely triggered by her battle with the Scarlet Knight.
Explorer 1
Just tell me who you are! What were you doing in my study?
Explorer 2
I want to ask you the same thing! That's my study!
Explorer 2
Why is some stranger walking around my study like they own the place!
Explorer 3
Now cut it out, you two!
Explorer 3
I'm telling you, the two of you have been working together for years in research!
Explorer 1
Shut it! You're the newcomer so stay out of this!
Soldier 1
Why are you here in our base? Don't tell me... You're a spy for Menea!
Soldier 2
Huh? What kind of joke is that? You're the one who's a spy! Just admit it already!
Gran and the gang move through Central City, observing fights breaking out due to lost memories.
Monika
This is getting ugly.
Rosetta
There don't seem to be any people injured directly.
Rosetta
But Kikuri's power seems pretty vicious.
Monika
You said it. If this keeps up, people will end up hurting their relationships permanently. Regardless of memory.
Rackam
I guess those who've lost memories of each other had stronger bonds.
Rackam
Whether you hurt or get hurt, there's no easy way to recover.
Monika
This time, we can't just minimize the impact. We mustn't let anyone get hurt!
Monika tightly clenches her first as she turns back toward the members of her crew.
Monika
All crew members deploy! You are to stop all squabbles occurring throughout the Dydroit Belt.
Monika
With the situation as it is, we can't afford even the slightest damage to the bonds between people.
Monika
Not a single insult or injury gets through! It's a matter of survival!
Enforcers
Roger!
Monika watches her crew members scatter in all directions. She then turns toward Gran and the gang and bows her head.
Monika
I'm sorry. The situation is worse than I'd imagined. I'm afraid I can't help you right now.
Vyrn
Don't sweat it. After all, the whole island is in a mess.
Lyria
We'll be sure to find Katalina and the others, even without help!
Monika
That's the spirit! With the strength of your bond, you'll find them in no time.
Monika
I'm off to patrol the area. Let's meet up again later at the station.
Monika waves her hand at Gran and the gang as she hurries off to cease the quarreling.
Alliah
...
Rosetta
So, what will you do now?
Alliah
I intend to accompany all of you from here.
Alliah
If necessary, I shall help you in searching for your friends.
Lyria
Wow! Thank you!
Vyrn
I guess not all the Luminaries are mean guys after all!
Alliah
Perhaps, but even nice guys can make mistakes.
Her words trail off into a frown.
Alliah
It seems we Knights may be responsible for Kikuri going into a rampage.
Alliah
And as a Knight, I cannot allow the situation I have spurred to go unchecked.
Rackam
So that means you did something here on the Dydroit Belt?
Rackam instinctively reaches for the gun at his waist.
But Alliah is unfazed as she sighs and shakes her head.
Alliah
Don't get me wrong. This was not intended on my part.
Alliah
But you remember my little argument with the Scarlet Knight yesterday, yes?
Vyrn
You mean the battle we hurried over to check out?
Lyria
The sound and the shock were so incredible. There was even a column of light outside.
Alliah
I picked the wrong place. The power that overflowed from that battle probably caused the rampage we see now.
Rackam
Whoa, wait—you mean the shock from your fight sent the primal beast out of control?
Rosetta
Just as much can be expected in a fight between Luminary Knights.
Alliah
That's why it's my responsibility to remedy the situation.
Alliah
Now then, shall we keep going? After all, we won't find your friends by just standing still.
Rosetta is doubtful of Alliah's previous explanation. Alliah reluctantly admits that Baragona may have provoked Kikuri to the edge of instability. She tells the crew of Baragona's treasonous past, warning them that he shouldn't be trusted.
Rosetta
This Kikuri we're dealing with seems pretty short tempered, don't you think?
While asking around for leads on their missing friends, Rosetta ponders the situation aloud to the Golden Knight, Alliah.
Rosetta
I mean, the shock from yesterday was quite frightful.
Rosetta
But isn't it a little impulsive to run wild over that?
Vyrn
I dunno, but now that you mention it...
Lyria
I'm not sure what to think either, since its presence kept appearing and disappearing.
Rosetta
The Erste Empire doesn't seem to be involved in the Dydroit Belt.
Rosetta
But perhaps there's another reason behind all this. So Ally, what do you think?
Alliah
First, don't call me that.
Rosetta
Oh? I thought you told us to call you by your name.
Alliah
And I appreciate that, but Ally is not my name.
Rosetta
But it's such a pretty name. And it makes things much friendlier between us.
Alliah
I don't get the feeling that you want to be my friend.
At that, Rosetta's expression turns cool as she opens her mouth to speak.
Rosetta
You're right. Then I'll just say it. You're still hiding something, aren't you?
Rosetta
I'm worried about the people who should be here right now but aren't.
Rosetta
If you really want to help, then tell us everything you know about what's going on.
Rosetta
If you don't, then just leave. You're only standing in our way.
Vyrn
Whoa! I get that you're worried, but that's a little harsh.
As Vyrn reaches out to calm Rosetta, a golden gauntlet gently holds him back.
Alliah
I apologize for my rudeness.
Alliah
It was not suitable to offer my cooperation without disclosing what I know.
Lyria
So, there's another reason for Kikuri's rampage other than the noise and the shock from yesterday?
Alliah
I have my suspicions. And as it involves this incident, you could say that the Luminary Knights are responsible.
Alliah offers her take on the cause of Kikuri's lashing out.
But for Gran and company, it is a very difficult possibility to believe.
Rosetta
The Scarlet Knight?
Alliah
It's just as you said. I doubt that shockwave from our battle would be enough to stir Kikuri.
Alliah
Considering the circumstances, it's highly possible that something was done to lure it out.
Rackam
Like that time with Tiamat.
Rackam
It was on the edge of losing control, and the battle yesterday was the trigger.
Alliah
Baragona probably worked it little by little beforehand, leading Kikuri to that edge.
Lyria
But why the Scarlet Knight? He doesn't seem like a bad person.
Vyrn
Yeah! And Gran's father taught him how to use a sword!
Vyrn
I don't wanna believe a friend of his could be a bad guy.
Alliah
So you heard from Baragona about their friendship, I see.
Alliah
Did Baragona also tell you what happened to his country after that?
Lyria
Huh?
Alliah
It fell to ruin.
Alliah
What's more, Baragona held the position, duty, and power to halt its destruction.
Alliah
But he did nothing. His home was consumed with fighting and devastated by riots, but all he did was watch.
Vyrn
What!
Alliah
Baragona has turned his back on his duties as a Luminary Knight more than a few times.
Alliah
I warn you. The Scarlet Knight Baragona is not one to be trusted.
Alliah
You must stay on your guard with him.
Lyria
...
Everyone falls silent at the Golden Knight's warning.
But Rosetta quietly posits a question into the heavy air.
Rosetta
Well, then what is the Scarlet Knight after?
Alliah
I don't know. I don't think he's the type to enjoy watching others flail about in confusion.
Rackam
In the end, we have a heap of things we still don't know.
Rackam
Even if you say that the Scarlet Knight is suspicious in all this, it's only a guess.
Alliah
Unfortunately, I don't have any real proof that he's meddled with Kikuri.
Rosetta
But it seems there's something strange behind this disturbance.
Rosetta
I know we want to find everyone quickly, but we must move carefully.
Gran nods back at her as the gang pushes on through the winds and wild beasts of the Dydroit Belt.
