Pearl! Pearl!
Pearl!
Wh-What's going on?
Pardon me, have you seen anyone pass by?
No, nothing out of the ordinary.
I see...
Thank you.
Pearl!
Where's Pearl?
She's gone.
Seraphina must have...
Hey, what does she think she's doing?
Who is she?!
I-I don't know!
You don't know?!
She's with Sandra!
No!
You saw Esmeralda be murdered!
B-But it can't be...
Seraphina would never...
She must be Sandra in Disguise!
Why would she bother to do that?
It's true that I'd let my guard down, but what is the meaning of all this?
Look.
What is that?
"I've taken the white pearl. If you want her back, come to the Mekiv Caverns.
It's Sandra.
Pearl's in the Mekiv Caverns?
We're going!
Wait!
Now what?!
Let me go!
It might be a trap.
You're right.
I'm going, regardless.
All right.
I'm going, too.
Do as you wish.
Blackpearl
This is our second time coming here to find Pearl.
Yeah, it is.
But compared to last time...
There are more monsters.
They're coming!
Get out of my way!
Are you okay?
Yeah. Thanks.
Why didn't you draw that sword?
I've never seen you use it.
This Sword of Fate can only be used once.
I can't waste it on such a lowly monster.
So it's useless, then, isn't it?
No.
It can cut anything, just once.
Really?
Yeah.
I believe in the person who gave me this sword.
Who gave you the sword?
Talk later!
You'd better use it when you need to.
I won't burden you!
No...
This won't do, either.
It's no use.
This won't do.
More glimmer.
It must be more beautiful.
Pearl!
Where is she?
I can sense her glimmer, and yet...
This won't do, either...
Elazul.
It's no use.
Look.
There's someone there.
More... more glimmer.
He might have seen Pearl.
No.
No...
This person...
Hey, you.
You are beautiful.
Have you seen a woman pass by here?
She has.
Straight down the center path.
I see.
It seems you've made a good friend.
You know each other?
No.
This isn't it.
Let's go.
Right.
This still isn't enough...
Not this... where is it?
I sense her.
We're getting closer.
Let's hurry.
Yeah.
Pearl!
Are you here?
Took you a while.
Elazul...
Big Brother Shiloh...
My, you're in quite the hurry.
Let go of Pearl!
You can have your precious princess back.
Pearl!
Take care of her!
Okay.
Elazul!
Oh, my, you aren't dead, are you?
No!
Elazul!
Are you all right?
Elazul!
There's power coming from here.
You can't even be by his side.
You're quite frail, aren't you?
Look at that..
Your knight's hurt because of you.
Elazul...
Take a good look.
He might not make it.
No...
It's my fault.
There's a way to save him, though.
You just have to cry.
Just cry.
Just cry...
That's right.
You just have to cry.
Aren't you sad that someone so dear to you has been hurt?
Aren't you miserable?
Come on, look at him.
Don't you want to use your tears of healing to save your knight?
Princess?
I can't cry.
I thought he was important to you.
Don't you want to use up your own life to help him?
I want to help him, but I can't do it.
So you're another princess in name only, devoid of the power of healing.
Elazul!
Shiloh...
Pearl...
Punishment to the tainted stones lacking in brilliance!
I won't let you!
I'm protecting Pearl!
Big Brother Shiloh...
Try to stop me if you can.
You've improved since last time, but not by much.
Were you the one who took Esmeralda's core?
I wasn't.
But I guess you could say I did.
I won't let you kill any more Jumi!
Not good enough.
You'll never stop me.
Big Brother Shiloh...
Looks like you're dear to the princess, too.
Perhaps I'll have you be a noble sacrifice.
Well?
Can you cry now?
Elazul...
Big Brother Shiloh...
What...
What am I supposed to do?
Looks like I need to do more.
Elazul...
Do something!
Sandra...
Elazul!
You or Pearl.
I'll spare just one.
Choose.
Do you even need to ask?
I'm Pearl's knight.
Kill me.
I see.
I'll make sure your core doesn't go to waste.
Pearl?
No!
Is that...
No...
It can't be.
From the Tower of Leires...
Why are you here?
Stay away.
Stay away!
Jewel Beasts!
Let's see if you're a match for them.
Forgive me.
Wow.
Pearl is no longer here.
You're free.
W-Wait...
Lady Blackpearl!
Lady Blackpearl?
Never mind that...
Elazul!
He's alive.
How could this be?
You're the man from earlier.
We must not let him... this beautiful stone... die.
Wanna take these to the market?
Let's take a break first.
Let's have tea, then.
Yay!
Time to eat cookies.
Wh-What is this?
Is this...
Teleportation magic?
Master?!
You're so hurt.
Sorry...
Could you... help me...?
Master!
He won't wake up.
What do we do?
There's no more light coming out of the gem.
And he's breathing properly, too.
I'm sure he'll be all right.
Yeah, you're right.
Huh?
Where's Master?
He said he's training with Duelle.
Jeez.
He's not all well yet, either.
Sounds like you've been caught up in quite the mess.
Caught up?
No, I chose this.
Then why hesitate?
It seems like you aren't seeing the forest for the trees.
Th-That's not...
You're just going to fall off a ledge if you keep lying to yourself.
Shiloh, what is it that you want to do?
What are you right now?
What am I right now?
I just can't allow the Jumi's lives to be taken from them for no apparent reason.
I'm sure, but...
So I want to learn the truth.
That must be it.
If you're willing to put your life on the line, you better do your best, Shiloh.
Duelle...
I'd better get going.
Thanks.
See you around.
The truth, huh?
W-Wait!
You shouldn't get up yet!
Elazul?
Later. Thanks for the help.
No!
You have to lie down!
I'll be fine.
You let go, too.
I'm never letting go!
Elazul!
You aren't well enough to go yet.
Move. Please.
I'm going to go find Lady Blackpearl.
Did you know Pearl was Lady Blackpearl this whole time?
Please, tell me.
What do you know about Lady Blackpearl?
It's none of your business.
None of my business?
I see.
How could you say it's none of my business now?!
I never asked you to get involved!
What the hell?
You used my help, too!
At first, yeah.
But how could I trust you?
You might be an enemy of the Jumi, too, like Seraphina.
Elazul!
Move!
Hold up!
Let me go!
I won't!
Stay out of my way!
Elazul!
Oh, no!
Master!
See? I told you that you shouldn't get up yet.
He can stay until he's all better, right?
Master?
Oh, yeah, of course.
Bud, Corona, take care of Elazul.
Huh?
R-Right.
Sorry.
Seraphina...
What is your truth?
Master!
Please wake up!
Bud. Corona.
Is something wrong?
Elazul's gone missing!
He must have left while we were asleep.
Elazul!
Could I ask you to take care of the rabites?
Sure, but...
Don't get in a fight again, okay?
I'd have to find him first to fight him.
I thought you hated Elazul now, Master.
I guess that would have made things easier.
I never would, though.
So...
Understood.
We'll be waiting.
Thanks.
Oh, there should be someone named Valerie coming here soon.
Could you show her around our house when she gets here?
Of course!
We're getting more family?
Yeah.
She's bringing a little one, too.
Wow.
I can't wait!
Well, I'm counting on you.
Okay!
Rachel!
What's wrong?
Have you seen Elazul?
No.
Okay.
Thanks.
What's got you in such a hurry?
Duelle!
Have you seen Elazul?
He left in the morning.
Really?
He said something about going to the Tower of Leires.
He's looking for a woman or something.
Is it her again?
For a different reason this time.
Anyway, thanks.
Take care.
Break a leg.
Yeah.
Damn it...
Elazul!
You...
Why?
I told you.
It's still my business.
I can't let you be caught up in this.
I thought I could do as I wished.
Lady Blackpearl's in there?
Pearl?
Yeah.
I can sense her glimmer.
Let's go.
I think I need to know, too.
Shiloh...
